Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up in a casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

Latin Music

If you know me, I love music. And I'm one of those people who can listen to a song or the same music over and over and over again without being sick of it, especially if I like the song a lot.

That's something Peruvian culture and I have in common. Peruvians don't seem to mind to listening to the same music over and over and over again. Whenever I've gone salsa dancing, I hear the same music. And this is over the past 9 months. Not just a couple months. 9 months.

My friend says I fit in here well since Peru and I have this similarity.

Over the course of my stay here, I've found Latin music that I love! And can't stop listening to. If I had a computer, I would have downloaded all of this music already and put it on my ipod, but alas it will have to wait until I get a new computer.

Michel Telo is a popular Brazilian singer here in South America (and in Spain too according to my friend!). His song "Ai Se Eu Te Pego"is really popular.

I really like it and still haven't gotten sick of it, especially since I've heard a thousand times since December.

Another song I discovered recently is also from another Brazilian singer! His name is Gusttavo Lima (he is really cute too, by the way!). His song is called "Balada Boa." Can't.....stop.....listening....to....it.

I wouldn't have thought that I like music like this, but I do. It's a song from Daddy Yankee featuring Prince Royce. It's called "Ven Conmigo."

I've discovered how much I like Shakira! Almost every song I hear from her now, I love. Especially now that I can understand her singing and lyrics much better (although it's still hard to understand her singing because she sings the words so fast).
"Addicted to You"

"Antes De La Seis"

"Sale el Sol"

As well as much more like "Loca" and "Rabiosa."

A duo that I found I like is called Jesse & Joy. I like their song "Corre." Although it is pretty sad.

Music makes me so happy. It's my addiction. :)
