New Boyband Alert: IM5

The return of the boybands gave us Big Time Rush, One Direction and Heart2Heart but just recently, another new boyband has hit the spotlight, meet IM5! 

IM5 is a boyband that was put together by Simon Fuller, Jamie King and Perez Hilton and it's members are Cole Pendry, Dalton Rapattoni, Dana Vaughns, Gabe Morales & Will Jay. The band debuted at the Youth Rock Awards last December 7, 2011 performing their original song When Your Heart Beats, Feel It. Here's a video of their performance:

IM5 has also uploaded three cover videos to their Youtube channel and so far, my favorite cover from them is *NSYNC's It's Gonna Be Me. Aside from that, they also covered Jessie J's Domino and Shai's If I Ever. Check them out here.

So yeah, today's Valentines Day. At first, I thought my day was going to be lonely but it turned out to be fun because of the events that happened today. One of the fun things that happened today were those kilig moments in class and this little Valentines Day that our section was having. Although we only had some pizza and those cupcake lollipops but we still had fun.

And because it's Valentines Day, here's a love song for everyone out there. The song's Saving All My Love For You by Whitney Houston.

To my readers, I wish you all a Happy Valentines Day!

Whitney Houston (1963-2012)

Whitney Houston was found dead yesterday and at first, I couldn't believe that this actually happened. I thought it was one of those Twitter fake death scams or something but from the news articles I've read about this, Whitney's publicist has confirmed it. I'm not really a fan of Whitney but her music has been a part of my life, though not majorly but still, I still find her music significant to my life. I remember back in 2008 when we had this CD that had tracks from Disney movie soundtracks and When You Believe by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey was one of the songs there. The first time I heard that song, I instantly fell in love with it. I also catch myself singing to the chorus of Whitney's songs like One Moment in Time and I Will Always Love You when no one's looking. (although I'm not really a good singer) I also remember hearing her song Greatest Love of All a couple of times. We also had this one CD that were composed of cover versions of famous songs and Whitney's Saving All My Love For You was one of the tracks and it also happened to be one of my favorite tracks. 

Whitney is truly a legend. She is an inspiration to all of us and in one way or another, she and her music plays a role in our life . My prayers and thoughts are with her family. You will be missed but never forgotten.
