Stephen Gately (1976-2009)

Stephen Patrick David Gately known as Stephen Gately , an irish singer and actor born on 17th of March 1976 . He was of the boy band Boyzone and died on Oct 10, 2009 at the age of 33. He was with his partner Andrew in Mallorca Island on holidays in Port Andraxt. He was one of the teen idols of the 90s when he was in the Boyzone. Later that year Stephen went out with his solo album ” New Beginning” and that time of his coming out in 1999. He is married to Andrew Cowles.

I dedicate this song to all the fans in the world of Stephen Gately and the rest of the Boyzone. We can all make it BETTER and live with his good memories.

* While i was listening to this song and writing up this blog i cant stop myself from shedding tears. Its such a premature death for someone who uplift you and had the courage to be himself of who he was. Rest in Peace, Stephen Gately.

Last year me and my other friend went to Amsterdam, The Netherland and this year the 3 of us again reunited in Milan, Italy.

Some say that Milan is dark and grey. Old building and quite dull, but on the contrary Milan is the shopping and fashion capital of Italy. From the top fashion areas and known Quadrilatero D’Oro….if you have money to spend why not here!!!!

Aside from that One of the best built church in Lombardy is the Duomo. The fascade are great representing its biblical based and religious icons. And you mersemerized with the view inside and the top over looking the centre of Milan.

Wines & Champagnes in San Miguel

The other day and its so hot in Madrid, I went out with Peruvian friend Miguel and American friend Joana in one sunday afternoon. If you have been to Madrid and you’ve pass by Mercado San Miguel, they have restored that old market place into a new one, more modern and cosmopolitan. They offer there foods like olives, cheeses, jamon, chipirones and etc. They event had good pastries and delicacies so when you come to Madrid. Its worth a visit. Well back to the event, well as i can say we where there to chill out and had wines and a glasses of champagne and we meet this cool group of people. Like people said “  Madrid Abierto ” Madrid Open, to every people. We met Ismael, Carlos, Noiysi, Pedro, Fernando, and some other guys from Germany on the other table. We ended up good together that time. Since summer a good glass of Tinto de Verano is worthy now its too hot in Madrid.

This coming weeks i will be in Hiatus as holiday comes around! So Enjoy Summer!
