Video of the Day

--I remember hearing this song for the first time fall semester 2009. Leona Lewis was well known for other songs about love including her hits Bleeding Love and Better in Time so I expected nothing less with this video of the day feature. When this video was released and I viewed it, I seriously cried. Not so much a bawl my eyes out type thing, but more of a "Omg, that was so sad...". That's all I'm going to say about it. Watch it and let me know what you thought of the ending.

Happy by Leona Lewis




What did you think about the video? Was it an unexpected reaction? Have you ever been in a situation like this?

Manayunk Spunk

I spent my last Saturday in Philly on a date with my beau. This will be my last time home until April or the end of the semester. We went to Frak's for (mediocre) cheesesteaks in Manayunk. We then walked down Main street to visit Benjamin Lovell Shoes. This was my first job. I worked as a stock girl. Tasks included receiving new shoes, printing labels for them, stocking them on the shelves, and trying on the gorgeous red patent leather Stuart Weitzman pumps. (Ok, the latter wasn’t really in my job description, but I couldn’t help trying on some of the shoes that were in stock). Anyhoo, I visited the store to say hi to my old manager/supervisor, but left with the words that she no longer works there. :-\

My beau and I then stopped on a side street to talk for a little bit and it was hard to concentrate b/c I was so in love with the scenery. I honestly could not wait for us to finish talking so that I could snap some pics. The view included parts of the Schuylkill River and expressway, old train tracks, and the backs of some of the businesses on Main Street.

I think Brunette Blogger was right when she described the symptoms of the blogging flu. Numbers 2 and 3 are my main symptoms. It states:

  • "#2. You know you've caught the blogging flu when you start converting everything about your live into a a post. "Oh this shopping trip would make a great new post for my blog!" or "I could definitely use this topic to write about"."
  • "#3. Your camera is working overtime and EVERYTHING is interesting enough for you to snap pictures of. This includes your lunch, your dinner, a pretty dessert, flowers, bugs, patterns, the sky, …"
Have you ever caught the 'blogging flu'? What symptoms do you exhibit?

Video of the Day


-- I've resisted posting this video long enough. I love Adele. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her first album, 19, and now that 21 will be released within the next month, I hope it is just as good. I can't wait until it is released. Both albums are named after the age at which she wrote the songs. This should be enjoyable. Amazon's pre-order price is $9.99 and I'm totally going to purchase it! That is all...

'Rolling In the Deep' by Adele
