Hey, guys! Kelly here. The following is my take on the music-themed Q&A list which Kayla made. Let's get started!
1. Who is your all-time favorite artist? That's easy peasy! The Beatles!!!
2. What is your favorite musical genre? I like Classic Rock/Rock and Roll the best. I also enjoy Disco, 80's, 70's, 60's, and 90's Pop, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Gospel/Worship, and Classical music.
3. Are there any genres you don’t like? I can't stand Rap/Hip-Hop, modern Pop, modern Rock (With some exceptions.), Dubstep, and Techno.
4. What is your all-time favorite song? Honestly, I have so many favorites!
5. Who was the last artist you saw live? The last artist I saw live was Rick Astley, back on November 2015.
6. Name one artist you’ve never seen live but would really love to. Duran Duran.
7. What is the last CD you bought? It would have to be A Hard Day's Night and Please Please Me. I bought them during my last UK trip on December 2016 at an HMV store in London.
8. Do you listen to music on Spotify? I do, but not as much as I used to a few years ago. :-P
9. Who is your favorite solo male singer? Michael Jackson. Yes, I know he started with the Jackson 5 and he was great as a member there, too, but his solo career was simply the best!
10. Who is your favorite solo female singer? Whitney Houston.
11. Who is your favorite band? See the first question.
12. Do you like any boy bands? Well, I see the Beatles as the original boy band, so yeah.
13. Do you consider rap singing? No way!
14. Do you own any vinyl records? Sadly, no. I'd love to, though.
15. Have you ever shopped at a record store? Many times. Unfortunately, most of the record stores where I live have closed down. :-(
16. Have you ever read a book written by a musician? Yep. I've read MJ's autobiography, Moonwalk, and Dancing the Dream (I own the latter.).
17. From 1-10, rate your singing ability. I don't really sing much, but I rate my singing ability at 8 (Very good).
18. Do you like karaoke? Yeah, I enjoy it a lot.
19. What is your favorite radio station? What genre does it play? My favorite radio stations are DZRJ 100 and 98.7 DZFE. The former is mainly an Oldies station and plays songs from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and the 2000's; the latter plays Classical music and a bit of Jazz.
20. Can you play any instruments? Yes, I can play the guitar.
21. Name one musician you wish was still alive. Seriously? You want me to choose from John Lennon, George Harrison, or Michael Jackson? Sorry, but I just can't choose one.
22. Will you listen to a song if it has screaming in it? It depends if the screaming is tolerable.
23. Do you read any music magazines? Nope. I don't really trust them or any magazine for that matter, especially nowadays.
24. Name a song that makes you cry. "Real Love" by the Beatles.
25. Name a song that makes you want to be a better person. "Keep the Faith" by Michael Jackson.
26. What is your favorite TV theme song? Currently, my favorite TV theme songs are the original Thomas and Friends theme, Care Bears Countdown (From the Nelvana series), Caring is the Key (From the most-recent series, Unlock the Magic.), and the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme.
27. Do you have any songs as an audio post on your blog? One of my DeviantArt journal blogs is in this format.
28. What is your favorite song from a movie? "A Whole New World" from Aladdin (1992), "Beauty and the Beast" from the 1991 version, "Circle of Life" from The Lion King (1994), and "If We Hold On Together" from The Land Before Time.
29. Have you ever been on-air on a radio station? No, I haven't. That would be cool!
30. Have you ever been to a music festival? Not yet. I think I'd like to attend a Classic Rock festival in the future...
There you have it! I hope you enjoyed reading this list as much as I enjoyed writing it. If you didn't, please be respectful. Otherwise, if you can't do that, sod off!
Peace and love,
~Kelly 🌟🌟🌟

For most of the duration of 2015, my mother and I went on field trips and attended cultural seminars. In June of this year, we visited Vancouver, Canada. We stayed at the Gage Residences, which is located in the University of British Columbia. We explored the campus and city, visited a friend, and even rode the skytrain right up to the last stop. It was yet another fun trip for us. We also went back to Cebu in September. As a pre-birthday treat, my mother bought me tickets to see Rick Astley in concert when he visited my country. He's my favorite singer from the 80's. We had a blast during the concert, and my mother would scream, "Go Rick!" as he goofed around and joked onstage. This concert made her reminisce about her youth, too. After the concert, we traveled back to Singapore on my birthday, where she attended a Teaching of English as a Second Language seminar. We also continued our celebration there.

This is an article for my special friend, 80smusiclover1 (Kelly). This was a request specifically from her, so here it is.
You are a wonderful friend, and I am glad that we met. From the time we met, you have accepted me for who I am. You never judged me for any of my quirks. You have always been very kind. You've always shown concern for me and for my friends. If that's not what friendship is all about, then what is it about? I think you are a great example of what a friend should be. I count myself fortunate to have you as my friend. I know that sometimes the clouds get dark, but there is always a silver lining somewhere. If you cannot see it, I'll be there to point it out to you. You will never be alone. I am here for you, no matter what. You've always been here for me. Thank you for being here, and thank you for being you.
