Two people that can make me lose my breath when I hear them sing: Clay Aiken and Maria Callas (an Opera singer). I'm a mezzo-soprano and most of the time you'll find me playing with my high notes, even when I yawn ;-) I like to sing anything from R&B to opera. I'm a sucker for heartbreaking melodies. My wish is to make people cry tears for joy when they hear me sing....Hope it will happen in this lifetime. Have never written a song (ok, maybe just one). My mom used to say to me that I sound like i strangle cats when I sing, but took her words back when she heard me sing "Cancao do Mar" by Dulce Pontes in the original language - Portuguese.

Disarm you with a smile, And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child Inside of me and such a part of you.
Ooh, the years burn !

I used to be a little girl, So old in my shoes, And what I choose is my choice.
Whats a girl supposed to do? The killer in me is the killer in you My love...I send this smile over to you !

Disarm you with a smile, And leave you like they left me here To wither in denial. The bitterness of one whos left alone.... Ooh, the years burn!!! Ooh, the years burn!!! burn!!! burn!!!

I used to be a little girl, So old in my shoes, And what I choose is my voice. Whats a girl supposed to do? The killer in me is the killer in you My love...I send this smile over to you!

How do I get through this week?

6 am. Sitting here in the dark in front of my windscreen 19" screen, drinking my coffee and eating my yogurt with granola and fruit and 10 billion good bacteria (how can there be a good bacteria - I don't know, and 10 billion of them does not sound good anyways but I trust scientist. I have to).

I took a week off my job to study for my final pre-academic exams.

My week starts now.

I don't know if any of you American / British / Internationals know that here in Israel we start our week on Sundays, not Mondays.

So now I have to read and analyze Israeli politics. I hate politics.

Well I guess it's all for a good cause… I get to go to the University and one of the really good ones so what am I complaining about?

I have no idea what I'm going to study but I know it will be around the Social sciences area. I love criminology and psychology. I still have a lot of stuff to figure out so wish me luck ;)

I hope I'll be wearing a smile like this when I'll be going to my classes...

Michal

(Me again, not looking at you this time)

It's hard to focus on writing my blog while my two men are here snoring in the room. Hey! Don't think that! I'm not That kinda girl… It's Daniel (My man) and Poosh (My dog).
Daniel is snoring in baritone and Poosh is snoring in tenor. Maybe I should add my vocals so at least it will sound like real music.

I've been trying to study this blog and the people who share their feeling, thought and experiences. I find that there are not enough people writing and that's a shame. Same names seem to pop up all the time, including mine.

I still haven't figured out what's wrong with my HTML codes. I just can't seem to embed music or videos. I know some of you have succeeded, so I must be doing something wrong.

Well, It's has been more than 6 months and still didn't get my Fan Pack. I wonder why. Maybe it has been sent to me but got lost in the mail. When I say "lost" I mean "stolen". I think the Israeli mail and customs workers are quite suspicious. It's not the first time that a package from the U.S has lost its way to my doorstep. A year ago I bought an art print that I'm still "waiting" for. The woman I bought it from sent it twice. And to think that I gave her a piece of my mind when it failed to arrive…. Oh well. Any way – who do I have to sleep here to get my Fan pack? Huh?

Seriously – is there anyone here that can help me with that? (Update: I got help, thank you bfs...)
