There are a slew of famous women who are proving that age is just a number, and Angela Bassett is definitely one of them. The actress, who is 61 looks just as stunning as she did when Waiting to Exhale came out back in the mid-‘90s.  This Academy Award  nominated actress has been in the public eye for over 20 years, yet she seems to be aging backwards. The fountain of youth (by which I mean eating right and exercising) has been good to the actress. Not to mention, the superstar glowed on the red carpet in a strapless green Azzi & Osta dress ..read more

And with every milestone that comes throughout secondary school, poly, there remained a lump in my throat - a million memor ..read more

Bali Ha'i Bali Ha'i, may call me Any night, any day In my heart I'll hear it call me Come away, come away Bali Ha'i, will whisper On the wind of the sea "Here am I your special island, " "Come to me, Come to me" Your own special hopes Your own special dreams Bloom on the hill side And shine near the streams Adapted from  a show tune from the 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical South Pacific.
