Having Fun Girl Style: Walking In Your Street By The Bangles

Apart from being Women's Month, March also means that summer is fast approaching. With that in mind, both men and women are now planning on how they intend to enjoy it. Some plan to go to the beach while others prefer cooler places to beat the heat. One thing's for sure, everybody's getting restless and want to break from the monotonous cycle in the office. Thinking of that move reminds me of the song "Walking In Your Street" by The Bangles.

Right now, I think my clock's a little slow because I still have a hangover from last year's holiday. The fact that everyone's talking about summer really caught me by surprise. All I hear from people are the places, they want to go, clothes that they want to wear and people they want to meet or be with. I guess the heat makes everybody restless and I don't blame them. After all the pressure that we've been going through, a break could sure do us fine.

Right now, there's a lot of thing going on and we're all in energizer bunny mode. Even as we finish one task, another falls right into our laps so it's busy, busy, busy! Well work first before vacation is the norm. That way when its over, we can all really break out. Summer's fast approaching so we better finish up so we can enjoy it.

Driving And Remembering Song: Caroline By Concrete Blonde

For those of you who have been reading my blog now know that majority of my entries are all about the past and how I use the songs of 24K to reflect that. Although once in a while, I would write about how I feel about something or what's in season, majority of it concerns memories from the past. I can't help being sentimental, especially now that I feel that I'm at the crossroads. One song that really brings all the memories out of me is "Caroline" by Concrete Blonde.

Every time I drive at night and hear this song play, memories of the past seem to flood my brain. Good thing the speed and the wind help clear the cob webs that those memories start to spin. Although you keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, when the memories start to awaken, you start seeing them unfold in front of you like some movie that you can't keep your eyes off. Only the roar of the engine and the wind in your face keeps you on course and alert as you speed on by.

If there was a song that would make me hop on to a car and drive away, this would be it. The only thing I hate about all those memories is the fact that it awakens some of the pain that I felt from the past and when that happens, it's time to shut it off. Because of this I find it ironic that when you drive to forget, the stronger they comeback to you. It just goes to show that you can't run away from the past. That's because it's always inside you.

I Do It For You: All Woman By Lisa Stansfield

Whenever, the priest or the pastor say "For Better or For Worse", it usually means staying together through the good times and the bad. When people start going out togetherm things are bright and they are always at their best. When the honeymoon is over you can bet that your union is going to go through a lot of trials and demands from everyday life which will start to take their toll on you physically, mentally and emotionally. Yet even when things go crazy, never forget what you feel towards each other and how that will carry you through the tough times. That's the lesson I learned from Lisa Stanfield's song "All Woman".

Whether they also work or stay at home, women really give it their all and a lot of times, it wears them out to a point that they look ragged and fatigued. For guys who are tired at work, they sometimes take for granted that these women look like that because they do their best to do their part. Cooking and cleaning all day is not an easy thing to do but they do it for their men and all they want is a little appreciation for it.

Any woman who is willing go work that hard at the expense of her appearance shouldn't be taken for granted. The fact that they are willing to go through all that shows that they not only got substance but class as well. Keep in mind that if it's hard for you, it's also hard for them yet they still do and they do it for you. A lot of us forget about that and take it for granted. When we realize our mistake, it's too late.

A Very Melancholic Memory That She Evokes: Angelina By Richard Marx

The very first entry that I made from this blog was about a girl I met in college and boy did she turn my life upside down. It's no lie that as I wrote that entry, she still haunts my me to this day. When someone grabs hold of you like that and disappears so suddenly, it's really hard to accept. The slightest though of her, really floods me with bewildered emotions. Richard Marx's song "Angelia" really describes she still affects me.

Whenever I remember graduating from college, I can't help but think about her because that's the last glimpse that I had of her. You can say that she is one of the factors that left a hole in my heart. Every time I think of her, I always need to sit down take it in perspective. That feeling of flying when I first met her followed by that feeling of falling which is why I try not to think about her. That's just goes to show just how big an influence she was in my life.

Despite being left wanting, I couldn't bring myself to be angry with her. I guess that goes to show how much she meant to me. A tleast, I still have some good times that I spent with her and that is enough. Like I said before, I still think highly of her even if things didn't work out. It's just she evokes a very melancholic memory whenever she enters my thoughts.

Please Consider How Others Feel: Think By Aretha Franklin

Ever since I was accused of thinking only of myself. Ever since then, I always considered how my actions would affect other people. On the other hand, there are still people out there who just do things without thinking how it would affect others. Sometimes you have to think about the results of your actions before you do them. Aretha Franklin's song "Think" reminds me of that lesson.

A lot of times people just take off without even telling others what they are doing. It's all good if everything set and everyone knows. On the hand, a lot of people are often left wondering and holding the bag, especially when times are hard. It's worse when people just do things which sucks other people in and these poor souls suffer at the jerk's selfish actions. To say that it adds insult to injury is an understatement.

There's nothing wrong with doing what you want. We all are entitled to do want we want in life. Just remember not to leave people hanging in the process. It's not fair to them and you know it. That's why think before you do something cause it might hurt someone in the process.

Is That Still Possible: Uptown Girl By Billy Joel

Whether you watch movies or read books, one of the favorites themes of romance addicts is the rich girl-poor girl scenario. Girl from the upclass neighborhood falls for the kid in the street. Against all odds, they make it through and live happily ever after in the end. In reality, is it still possible? That's what I wonder when I hear Billy Joel's song "Uptown Girl".

Whether you listen to the song or watch the music video, the message is what every down-on-his-luck guys would want to come true: to land the girl. Winning a girl like that is just the start because how she's going to adjust to your level remains to be seen. I've seen many that kind of arrangements goe down in flames in the real world. Reason being that both don't want to make changes that can make the relationship work. If you're going to win someone like that, you better be prepared to go all-out because whether you are rich or poor, it depends on what your capabilities to make it work.

These days, women go for men with the big bucks. It doesn't matter if the guy is 100 years old or that he's ugly as hell because these days money talks. I got this after reading an article about women are more inclined to be with those who have the cash. Still, it'd be nice if something like that was still possible. Cause it would still prove that people would accept you for who you are and not for the cash in your wallet.

Women Who Rocked: Edge Of A Broken Heart By Vixen

I have to admit I missed 80's style rock. The Big hair, the demonic jewelry, spandex and of course the leather jackets. A lot of rockers looked like they were characters from a Mad Max film. Still the music was something you can always warm up to. It was nice to know that apart from men, women also took up the beat at the time. One such band was Vixen and the song that I remembered them for was "Edge Of A Broken Heart".

This was one of those bands that always got featured in Video Hit Parade. I always thought that these girls were hot. Not only that, they played their own instruments and they played Rock And Roll. I can relate with this song. I've been there so many times, it can get so hard whenever your heart breaks.

It's sad that along with other bands of the time, they too just disappeared. I was hoping that they lasted a little bit longer. I remember one special that MTV did on the 80's band and of the members became a professional golfer. If anyone has any news about them, please let me know. For me, these girls rocked then and they always will.
