The Prayer of FrançoisVillon

By: Gabriela Yareliz Lyrics and music by B. Okudzhava As long as the world’s still turning, As long as the air’s still sweet, Lord, won’t you give to all of us Whatever it is we need. Give a mind to the wise one, A shield to the enemy, Give some gold to the happy man,Continue reading “The Prayer of FrançoisVillon”

REM sleep

By: Gabriela Yareliz I think I got my REM sleep last night. We must repeat this. While doing readings, briefing and making sure I don’t lapse into a fugly look, I still listen to NPR. Yesterday, as I performed my duties as masterful chef (giggle), I was listening and I discovered Gaby Moreno. I likeContinue reading “REM sleep”

Athletic

By: Gabriela Yareliz Olympics are gone and out. I love the Olympics. It isn’t even about the athletes competing and doing their amazing things specifically; what gets me the most is how it is so patriotic. I am a sucker for patriotism and doing things to honor your flag and country. I like the ideaContinue reading “Athletic”

Unknown

By: Gabriela Yareliz We meet again… it is hot outside. Let me rephrase: HOT. The best thing about a car with no AC is the fact that the open window suffices to blow you away.

Lewis quote: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often sayContinue reading “Worthy is the Lamb”

Its enough to wait and see what God will do when you lift your hands; it is time to gain victory. Simply praise Him;Continue reading “To Praise”

One Direction

By: Gabriela Yareliz Maybe it’s the jr. high school girl in me, but this group is really cute. They have that boppy-teen, clean-meaningful-lyrics music. The world is lacking in true poetry that does not disrespect anyone. Anyway, this totally brought a smile to my face…their music makes me feel like I am 12 again (and thatContinue reading “One Direction”

/Give your heart a break/

By: Gabriela Yareliz Latina.com was raving about this song, and at this point so am I. Demi Lovato’s vocals are perfect. She modulates her voice super well, and the lyrics are really sweet. The day I first met you You told me you’d never fall in love But now that I get  you I knowContinue reading “/Give your heart a break/”
