Happy Birthday MADONNA!

Yay! It's Madonna's birthday!

I love it!

I think there should be like

a Madonna Ciccone Holiday

in honor of the

QUEEN of POP,

QUEEN of REINVENTION and

QUEEN OF MY PLAYLIST!

Right? :D

My fascination with Madonna started when I was prolly 10 years old!

I was very young then.
I would copy all the her dance moves while singing at the same time. Yay!

I think it's because of Madonna that I joined dance classes and school events that involved performing on stage. She was such a positive influence to me in honing my artistic skills and pursuing artistic entertainment endeavours.

It's true when they say, you are a Madonna product. :D

Ever since I was allowed to spend my school money on weekends, I started collecting stuff from Madonna. Cassette tapes, CDs, magazine, VHS tapes, blank VHS tapes to record Madonna's TV specials and many more.

I have like a truckloads of anything about Madonna

Some of my Madonna CDs. Some are lost and not returned by my friends. :(

Two of my Madonna biography books. :D Love it!

A book co-authored by Madonna's brother. I WANT!
He used to work for Maddy as her concert director.

Over the years, I've collected several Madonna CDs and with it, I became friends with music store retail assistants who inform me of anything new about Madonna. And with the relationship I made with them, they give me freebies like Madonna promotional posters. Love it! I just feel bad coz' some of my CDs are not with me anymore. I lost track of some. Borrowed and not returned.

The book by Taraborrelli I bought a few years back in Manila when I watched Mariah Carey's Philippine leg of her Charmbraclet tour.
Love it! Two favorite artist in one travel.
HAHA Although this one was sort of a book. LOL

Read these two over and over again. LOL

Have I mentioned I have several biographies of famous personalities?

I think reading about them is sort fun coz' you get to know stuff you won't learn in TV or other media. LOVE it!

And since it's Madonna's birthday, I am pretty sure that MTV, Mxy Channel, and other music stations, TV or radio will have their own MADONNA all day music playing. Of course, I too will have a Madonna all day playlist.

In fact, I already told my nieces about the kind of music

I will be playing to them today! LOL

Sort of a music/pop-culture education for them. Aight?

So what's my all time favorite MADONNA song?

It's not just a song, love. SONGS!!

That's like a tough question.

It's like asking me my age. Urgh! LOL

I can classify them by songs in each albums.

It's better that way.

Instagram it!

I'm sure all of you will agree with me when I say,

"WE ARE ALL PHOTOHOLICs!"

Right?!!

And now, we have a whole new reason to be photoholic,

INSTAGRAM!

"Snap a photo with your iPhone, choose a filter to transform the look and feel, send to Facebook, Twitter or Flickr – it’s all as easy as pie.

It’s photo sharing,

reinvented¹

And truly it is. I LOVE IT!

I've been using Instagram for a while now.

And I've posted several Iphone taken photos that are worth sharing to friends.

All captures a really nice story.

It does really create all the drama you need by choosing a filter that best fits the photo.

I'm just so addicted to it.

But I see people are using it in a wrong way. LOL

I mean, it's supposed to make the best impression with a good composition of your captured images. And these images does not include just your face and only your face in all of the posts you make. LOL

Not unless your face has launched a thousand ships

then by all means post all your self portrait photos. LOL

And I've read in the forums,

the worst that an Instagram user can do is posting your DSLR taken photo and using the filters in this application. HAHA!

The key here is to just post a photo using your Iphone, with a good composition that tells a beautiful story that everyone can relate to or may not relate to but can appreciate the drama/story of the posted photo. :D

So these are just some of the photos I've posted in Instagram.

Enjoy!
