If I was to pick out a style or genre of music that defines me or a genre I prefer above the rest, I couldn't! I'm Puerto Rican so I love dancing and Salsa and Merengue music. I like classic rock, modern rock, R&B, Oldies, I like the 70's Disco music, and I love ABBA!!! Choosing just one wouldn't be fair!!!

But there is an artist who I think is above them all: EDNITA NAZARIO. Ednita Nazario's music has trascended generations. Some people don't like her music, thinking it is always the same; some people even think she has something against MEN :-O Haha!! Her fans are mostly women obviously, but men too. But she is my favorite singer. The truth is her music IN ME evokes all kinds of emotions and I listen to her music when I'm sad, angry or even happy (singing in the car with my best friend at the top of my lungs!!!) It might be a coincidence, but I can always relate to her songs. It might be because of a personal experience or someone else's. However, some of these songs can inspire any of us, like "El Privilegio de Dar" lyrics.

Ednita has demonstrated over time she is "profeta en su tierra". I remember she was invited to the celebration of the UPR's centenario back in 2003. I was there, I was 15 yrs old and from then on I put her on a pedestal. To me she will always be a DIVA!

If I could have a special power, I would probably choose the power to heal. I think it's pretty obvious why. With so many diseases that affect us, it would feel amazing if I could heal a loved one or help out someone who needs it. That would be the most amazing power!!  





        My name is Monica, but my family calls me Lala. I had to drop out of college for a while, but last year I came back to finish my Bachelor's degree, finally. I plan to fully become an English teacher very soon. I hate my flat hair but love my big blue eyes.  Although I can be very shy,  I transform myself when I'm around children.  Even though I'm 24 years old I love the fact that I still adore The Little Mermaid and can admit that I am a complete "Disney Freak".
