The Year that was

By Now I think everyone had enough of the New Year, New Me post don't worry I will try my hardest not to do that here. Instead I would like to recap a little on the year that was.  2016, whew, insert hand swiping my forehead here. Let's see, how many time did you sing Closer by Chainsmokers? What was your favorite movie? I like Civil War but Suicide Squad gave me a fun memory. What was your biggest project completed? First and foremost my theme song for 2016 is "Thank you for the broken heart" by J. Rice. If you're reading my previous posts, well, thank you, but it doesn't take a genius to know that I had a heartbreak but I have to thank it because it opened a lot of doors for me. It wasn't a bitter break-up but just as others, it was sad. It happened at the start of the year which I think was good because it gave me a chance to revisit my goal for the year and what I really wanted.  So drum roll please... On door no. 1, I had a chance to reconnect

ARTS -ING

Everyday when I sat in front of my computer I have the view of my not so tidy bookshelf (it's the hardest part of the house to be kept clean-just to defend myself). I have the classics, chic lits, teens novel, from Steve Berry to Dan Brown, Ludlum to Clancy, I didn't realized it that these books are all fictions not until I bought ... Art History for the Dummies. You might be laughing but this is the most educational book I ever purchased well, next to Hamilton's Mythology which I bought because I need it not because I wanted to. The dummy book made me look back Art Appreciation subject back when I was still in College and happy to know I still remember some of it. The book made me appreciate more the styles and artist that invented the styles and buildings that we know today. I must admit I felt smarter knowing this things too. LOL. Now I must leave the cyber world first and will be taken back in time with Leonardo, Rafael, Donatello and Michaelangelo, not the turtles.
