Let’s DECEMBER It!

And yeah, Christmas is the most awaited occasion of the year, this is the day that you can celebrate and have fun with your family. They said that Christmas is really about giving, but for me, we should give everyday, give love, happiness and good vibes to each and everyone.

You’ll enjoy each single moment with your family, away from all the stress and all the works that you have in life. Making also Christmas wishlist and uttering the words “material things for the win!”. Oh Christmas, you’re so good. Honestly, I never get excited about Christmas ever since, you know I’m not the typical person that will celebrate different occasions with the family, because honestly, I don’t have somewhat “complete family”. But there’s so much to be thankful for. I’m still alive, I’m good and eventhough I don’t have a Mom and a Dad, I have grandparents all throughout.

I’m just wondering if I can get some love this coming Christmas, that’s my only wish. You know what, Christmas is not about ME, it’s not about YOU, it’s not about THEM and it’s not about US, it’s about the birth of Jesus Christ. We keep remembering Santa Claus because of the gifts that he’ll give us, but why not pause for a while and greet Jesus Christ “happy birthday!”

Again, there are so many things to be thankful for. Instead of counting that things that you don’t have, why not focus and be thankful for the things that you have in your life now? That’s a blessing, that’s a gift. We should enjoy the Christmas spirit, we should be thankful and we should be HAPPY and CONTENTED. Money can’t buy love and happiness, give LOVE everyday. Spread the LOVE ❤ Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Jesus Christ! 🙂

Worst Selling Cars of 2010

I got inspired about Forbes news about the worst selling cars of 2010. Seriously? Those brands are fascinating indeed, thats why this news brought some goosebumps. Its given, total light vehicles sales are up by 11.1% during November, also beating the market and topping the market share: Buick up for 53.5%, Cadillac is up 38%, Infiniti is up for 26% and of course Ford, Hyundai and Jeep up through 23%.
Not surprisingly, these brands are really doing good in the market with their newly designed and innovated cars, who’s not gonna like it?

But as i read the news, it made me think why the most famous brands were actually worst selling this year. Maybe wrong positioning, too much innovation, it doesn’t really fit the wants of the consumers or maybe they are just worst. Let’s take a look.

Saturn
Pontiac 2010 (G5)
Hummer 2010

Saturn, Pontiac and Hummer were killed this year. Reflects also to the discontinued sales during 2009, the Kia Rondo and Chrysler PT Cruiser. Suzuki in the midst of it all, also experienced the decline of sales by 42% overall by 2010. Vehicles like the compact SX4, Grand Vitara SUV and Equator also experiencing a sort of decline this year 2010, due to lack of resources.
But there’s still hope for it, the new Kizashi, mid-sized sedan.

oh well, for those who are into cars, i think this news can help. Car Companies will be launching improved and newest cars on 2011. Let’s wait for that.

This red, orange, blonde, yellow or whatever color headed girl been a great influence to me when it comes to music.

From All We Know, Brighter and My Heart…. to That’s What You Get, Crush Crush Crush and and Misery Business.. comes with the different demos like Miracle, Just Like Me and Love’s Not a Competition But I’m Winning to Twilight’s OST, Decode and now through Ignorance, Careful, The Only Exception and Misguided Ghost. This, I can say and i have no doubts, she still \m/

Punk Rock, Rock, Alternatives and Acoustics, Hayley Williams can say it all. Even for Pop (Airplanes with B.o.B), Kiss Me cover and Bad Romance cover, she’s unstoppable.

Creating a trade mark with the use of her multi-colored hair, great voice and awesome live performances, she’s a definition of a WOW.

Where music in stills, where ears at ease and when hearts sees the meaning of peace.

through it all. through the new found glow defines and seeks Rock n Roll.

Hayley Williams! 🙂

Paramore’s Brand New Eyes.

Well, this album is a way different than All We Know is Falling and Riot. The songs in this album talks a lot on attitude, friendships and others more on love. You can see the creativeness, different renditions and rhythms of each songs.

Coming from Nashville, TN. I think Paramore tours gave this band more experiences, gaining friends in different places and concerning about what people might think. Well, it happens all the time, we aren’t the same when it comes to looks, taste and preferences, the way we talk, the way we laugh, stare or many other things. We just need to accept or have a look on the good side of the people and learn how to deal with them.

Well, I can say, this band is really ready for mature role in the industry, it reflects a lot to their songs. Brand New Eyes album gave so much pressure to Paramore because of the super duper success of the Final Riot, which maybe I think caused intense with the release of Brand New Eyes, expecting a lot from the new album that will create a Boom or much Boom than the last album did.

But Paramore never failed to reach the expectation of their fans. It’s all different, it’s all surprising, it’s all creative and it’s full of LOVE.
