Celia Cruz born Ursula Hilaria Celia Caridad Cruz Alfonso, a female Cuban singer born October 21, 1925 in Havana Cuba was one of the most influential figures in Latin music. She started her musical career in her native country in the late 1940’s early 1950’s performing for various Cuban radio shows and traveling with the orchestra accompanying the dancing group “Las Mulatas del Fuego.” Her big break came in 1950 when she joined “La Sonora Matancera” the most famous orchestra in Cuba at the time.

Eleanor, you're finally 14. The past 14 years has been a long, tough and hard journey, but you've finally got herre. You may think that I'm just gonna send you a little message just to say happy birthday......BUT YOU'RE WRONG!

"Penelope I have great news Lord Rostelle has just decreed that any girl between the ages of sixteen and nineteen can join the army." said a young man grinning from ear to ear. "Get this, if you prove yourself during training you'll actually get to fight side by side with me."

Jenny Lin is a adventurer. February 2nd, her friend Jane invited her to a mine that locates on a island. They went on a cruise ship, begin the adventure.
