I hope this serves as a warning to all who participate in dogfighting.
Dogfighting is a crime (honestly I think all kinds of animal-fighting is a crime) – it is inhumane, cruel, and should stop. Our own government should toughen up the punishment for those involved in these illegal activities.

aside from Mariah Carey (boo! pop diva ako), I’ve sworn allegiance to Alicia Keys.
Man, that girl is talented (and beautiful to boot!). From her latest album “As I Am”, my favorite track would be, “Like you’ll never see me again”. I guess as the sucker that I am for tragedy and romance, I love this song because it speaks about what I feel right now. I haven’t seen drei for 3 days now, and it kills me that sometimes, I think he doesn’t miss me as much as I miss him. Or maybe I’m just a drama queen.
Whatever. I love this song. I love her songs. Buy her album.
No more pop(?) songs – it’s just all soul, all passion, sounds old school soul too – i love it. No more Usher collaborations (my boo my boo how many times do you have to say it…) but she has one with John Mayer though – but it sounds really good you’ll love it, swear. What I love about Alicia Keys aside from her good looks and talent with the keys, is that when she sings, she sings with passion - she sings with all her heart. Sometimes I think she manages to cut a vocal chord or two during her live performances. Does she care if sweat’s dripping off her forehead? Nope, she just sings her lungs out and you actually FEEL the song(and for her).
She’s one of the artists who’s managed to make me cry by just humming. She’s THAT good.
Quick buy her album now
