When you’re looking for plane tickets and waiting for prices to drop, ALWAYS clear your cookies beforehand and switch between browsers. A friend of mine was looking for a flight and getting prices that were the CHEAPEST at $800-1000, I sent her a link for a round trip that was like $495, and it read as $900 on her computer because she had been hounding the airline site.

“The first time we met Aaliyah was at an awards show, and she was so nice to us-truly nice. We got her number. Then when we came to L.A, and her choreographer, Fatima, was doing our routine, Aaliyah came to our rehearsal. We were rehearsing for the video shoot for ‘Get On the bBus’ from the ‘Why Do Fools Fall In lLove’ soundtrack. We were newcomers, and she was a big star. She had hits on the radio, but she was sitting on the floor rewinding the tape for us. It was so sweet of her to do. She even drove us around the city. We all went to the Beverly Center and she bought a parrot because she wanted to give it to one of her friends as a gift, and then we went to a video shoot for a song Timbaland was producing. Everytime I saw Aaliyah, she was happy and she ad this presence that few people have. I feel really blessed that I met her. She was definitely and angel, and I know that god doesn’t let too many of his angels go. He let her stay with us for a little while, but he wanted her back. Her tragedy hit close to home, because we shared the same make-up artist, Christopher Maldonado, who also passed in the crash. Christopher did our make-up for our first video. We had just worked with him again a couple months before the accident. I have trouble sleeping on planes now. I try to watch the movie if there is one. I get bored and anxious to get off the plane. There was not only Aaliyah’s accident but then 9/11 right after that. She passed a few weeks before my birthday. I remember that my mom threw me a surprise twentieth birthday party in New York after the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, and she almost didn’t have it because everyone still felt so bad. The whole awards show had a weird vibe. Aaliyah was such a special person, and she had a positive impact on a lot of people.
