-Destiny

I might be exaggerating. But yesterday I decided to move the antenna from the living room to my room. I let the channels search, a ten minute process. Then I flipped through to see what channels I had. I went from 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, to 4. On 4 I saw a crowd cheering as the camera zoomed out before commercials. The last scene was of my babies. Il Volo! I was filled with happiness, screaming. But also upset cause they just finished performing and I missed it. I decided to leave the channel there cause I felt like they would perform again. Like 20 mins later they did :) It was beautiful. I hadn't seen them performed in a while. And every time I try, I miss. They're lovely. It was a nice performance at the grove in Hollywood. Beautiful.

-Life will go on

That is the English title of an Italian show that I watch. It has the voice-over in Spanish though. So far it's my new "thing". It's like a soap opera. Very dramatic. It has a beautiful cast and a sweet underlying story. It's interesting to watch the mouths move, speaking in Italian. Trying to decipher what's being said. There are two reasons why I'm watching this. I'm bored and there's nothing on. And because it makes me feel that much more exotic. I don't know. It's like discovering Il Volo has changed so much about me. Not only my musical taste, but also my perspective on what I watch and do. It's kind of nice. Never thought it'd be so serious.

-Here you go

This is the song that started it all!

-Home Coming

My princes are in Italy again for the holidays. They have worked so hard this year and deserve some rest. Piero has posted pictures with his siblings and he looks so happy! I bet Maria is happy too. Even though I love Piero, I wouldn't mind looking up to a brother like him (In a totally not weird or sexual way). If I'm not mistaken, the Barone's are in Madrid. Why stay home for Christmas when you can take a trip? How nice. How lucky. The most exiting thing I'll get to do is sleep. Anyway, these boys deserve the world :)

-Count your blessings

I may not have much in this world, but at least I treasure what I do have. I'm alive, I'm healthy, and even though I may not know where I'm going in life I know that I can always fall back to where I am. Il Volo and their songs transport me to good times. I was listening to them in the car today. Singing at the top of my lungs. Being fresh and young, not caring who watched. We only live once and we must treasure.what makes us happy. And they make me real happy.

-I must be crazy

I have never been a tattoo girl. My mother has two and when I see people with a bunch of tattoos I'm just like ugh. Another factor that has kept me from the idea of tattoos is the pain. I'm a sucker for pain, a big baby! My last and craziest reason for not wanting a tattoo is that I fear how the tattoo would look like when I'm 80. Ew. But recently I've had the idea in my head. Wanting one! And here's the reason: I love the concept of smiling, The word for me is a key reminder that the negative things in life a passive and that you must always remember to smile. And like their song says, "you'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile." This is also my senior quote. I want the word "smile" in cursive on my right upper rib side. Not too big. The song/quote/word has given me strength at difficult times and I want to be reminded of it always. The location of the tattoo is also quite easy to hide. I'm only considering it right now, but I'm set at about 80%. And to think, all of this because of Il Volo and their re-record of this song.

-In Orlando Again!

They are so close. I could almost feel the operatic angels nearby. They've been posting pictures of themselves on the trip down to Orlando. Piero recently posted one of him in one of the Disney parks. They're so cute. Still enjoying their youth while changing the perspective of many non-lovers. I've imagined countless times the way that I should meet them. A simple way would be to go to a concert VIP and go backstage and meet them. Another, more magical way would be bumping into them out of nowhere. Say I'm going to a famous destination that I hardly visit here in Miami. Say they come down from Orlando to see the same spot. Say I spot them and approach them. Say I ask for a picture and they say okay with smiles on their faces. Say they love me! I'm saying a lot of things, but this spontaneous way is so much more special and I would die if it happened. (Me being dramatic).  

-Interview

Watching these interviews is what keeps me updated on the boys and it's what lets me know how humble they are. Whenever I'm bored late at night with nothing to do, I youtube their interviews and spend hours smiling :)

-What started it all

Not only is this the song that got me hooked on Il Volo, it is also the video that I saw flipping through my basic cable and said "Ehh, why not? I'll watch it." Who would've guessed that that would have changed my perspective forever? A few days later I saw them on a TV scene at the gym promoting the CD on Access Hollywood and decided to look up that song that touched me unknowingly. And now you have me, the Ultimate Ilvolover! Enjoy.
