Dear MEDL,
You might've read that this blog has become inactive from our Facebook page. That is because I have moved to 'Electra and Marian'!
It's been difficult to maintain two blogs at the same time, so why not go to the blog where I post more? It had also been a pleasure posting on this blog for three years.
I hope you enjoy the content I post on Electra and Marian. See you there!

30-D-M-C: We're All In This Together! (29/3/15)
Dear MEDL,
Flash back to the '00s!
I remember dancing to this song back in the Philippines when I was three years old. My main dance move to this song was punching my fists downward to my feet while bouncing my knees side by side. When I heard this song for the first time when I moved to NZ, I screamed!
Who could forget 'High School Musical'? Go, Wildcats! I recall the time in year two when my friends and I gathered to create an HSM group. Hilarious.
Thank you for reading today's post!
Stay powerful and beautiful as usual.

30 Day Music Challenge: Day 27 - Songs I Wish I Could Play (27/3/15)
Dear MEDL,
I really wish that I could sing Christine's songs from 'The Phantom of the Opera'. If I sang them now, you could easily relate me to a goat's screech.
Again, I wrote 'Buffy' into this challenge because those guitar strums make me flare with passion. If only I had an electric guitar and long fingers!

30-D-M-C: We'll Be 'Twerking' Again (25/3/15)
Dear MEDL,
Anaconda by Nicki Minaj makes me laugh over the improper behaviour of today's rap music, but I won't upload a video of it on this blog post.
'Human again' from Beauty and the Beast makes me cachinnate because when I auditioned for my school's musical last year, Gwen and I made a parody of this production called 'Booty and the Beast' where every character acts sluggishly and amateurishly. There's a part of this song that sings, "We'll be twirling again." and I tend to imagine that they're saying, "We'll be twerking again."
Sure, you could describe me as immature.

30 Day Music Challenge: Day 23 - A Song I'd Play At My Wedding
Dear MEDL,
If I were to have a wedding, I'd play 'The Last Night of the World' from Miss Saigon. My mother always encouraged me to listen to it ever since she introduced me to Lea Salonga and dang it, these lyrics and soft tune are my weaknesses!

30 Day Music Challenge: Day 21 - A Song I Listen To When I'm Happy (21/3/15)
Dear MEDL,
I found this new song on Youtube called 'You Are The One' by Elliott Yamin and it doesn't matter what kind of mood I'm in whenever I feel the desire to listen to it. This song has such positive lyrics and an easy-going beat to accompany Elliott's raspy voice.
Completing this challenge from my perspective seems like a paradox to you since I'm mostly posting corny love songs and I don't actually believe in the explicable power of love. The songs that I write about remind me of my favourite TV couple, Booth and Brennan and I guess that's the only reason why I enjoy them, apart from the ear-catching tunes.

Welcome to NZ, Colleen and Entourage! (19/3/15)
Dear MEDL,
Colleen Ballinger (Miranda Sings on Youtube) is in New Zealand as I write this post! Jayden, my friend, is coming to her concert and will have such a great time. To benefit from her time here in New Zealand, I wrote her a letter similar to this:
Dear Colleen,
You are the most hilarious, creative, and lovely person on Earth. You have graced the world with your talents. Thank you for taking the time to visit New Zealand, the 'Land of the Long White Cloud'. I bet you enjoyed performing and meeting my friend, Jayden.
I am Marian. I am a teenager and have been a Mirfanda/Colleen Cookie since 2012. My favourite videos of yours are the sassy dances you do with Kory and the vlogs featuring your wonderful friends and family. My favourite Miranda videos are 'California Gurls' and 'Thinking Out Loud'.
I hope you enjoy your stay here in NZ! Please say hi to Josh, Rachel, Teeny, Mr./Mrs. Ballinger, Chris and his family, Kory, and Trent for me.
Stay powerful and beautiful as usual,
Marian Yao
I assume that the letter was well-written since Jayden smiled at me and hid it safely in his journals, afraid that the letter would fall out.
My favourite music album is 'The Family Jewels' by my favourite music artist, Marina Diamandis.
I chose this song because it reflects the hedonistic and savage behaviour of some people at my school. I also like the murky pitch of the violin at the beginning.
Thank you for reading today's post!
