The Importance & Benefits Of Booking Yearly Doctor/Dentist Appointments

I cannot stress enough on how important it is to get regularly checked for your health every year. Never less, at least more. There are lots of things that I do not understand about life, but one that has to be close to the top is people not getting regularly checked for their health. Doctors or dentists cannot follow up on every single human being living. That's preposterous. The most they can can do is give you a courtesy call to schedule your...

Phantom of the Opera

1) Before going to see The Phantom of The Opera, I passed the theater where Sister Act plays and got uberly jealous when I found out Raven-Symonéwas the new star. It was a great show and I wish she was the star when I watched it! 2) It was the first time I was on time and it was the best seat I had at a Broadway show. 3) David Li was the head of the orchestra and he was GREAT, nothing short of phenomenal.  4) Whenever I'm at a show, I...

Jersey Boys

If you love "gangster" movies as much as I do, then you'll love this musical. Before going to see Jersey Boys, I had no idea of what it would be about.

The musical tells a story about four Jersey boys making it to the top from the bottom. But, there are a few setbacks that requires them to revisit their past. The acting was great...

West Side Story

Although it's been years since I've watched this, I still remember the amazing set, scenes, and theatrics. The book set the stage for me before watching the musical on Broadway. Right after reading Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, I read West Side Story in order to make the correlation between both. It's a more modern version of Romeo & Juliet and the depiction on stage is marvelous. There's a lot of Spanish influence on the dancing, but don't...

Beloved!

Beloved by Toni Morrison. I read this book everywhere: in the gym, steam room, train. This book taught me life lessons as I read. I've always heard about this book for years and wasn't displeased after finally reading it. It takes you back into times when slavery was slowly disappearing in the aftermaths of the abolishment (I believe). Though the events in the book are rather ghostly, or not what we would find common today, the things that the characters...

Midnight and the Meaning of Love

Great book. I read all of her books and there isn't one that failed. This one however, stuck out a lot. Not only did it portray the protagonist, Midnight, as a dream man in the most realistic circumstances, but Souljah managed to give light to the religion of Islam and the good things coming from it. She shows you Islam in an unusual angle that you typically wouldn't see on TV. She does the same for the Japanese and Korean culture, despite the...
