Oprah Winfrey, the women who is known for giving and doing big things has yet done it again. This time round, Oprah Winfrey gave her studio audience the yet-to-be launched 2012 Volkswagen New Beetles as part of "Oprah 's Favourite Things" on her farewell episode. But unfortunately, the audience could not get the cars yet as it was not out in the market. According to Volkswagen, it is expected to debut in the spring of 2011 and will go on sale the following fall. However, Oprah Winfrey did not disappoint her audience and revealed the design silhoutte of the car to give them a glimpse of what they will be receiving.



And if you think that's amazing, wait till you hear what else she gave away. She also gave away Ralph Lauren cashmere sweater, $525 worth of Judith Ripka Eclipse Earrings, a Tori Burch grey flannel tote, a home candle with 18 different scents,five years of free Netflix, a custom closet from the Container Store, a $3600 Sony 3D TV, a $700 Nikon Digital SLR camera and books from Marianne Williamson and Jay-Z and trust me the list goes on. Now that's beyon amazingness.

When I read about this article I was thinking of how lucky were the studio audience. Especially those first timers who had came to be part of the final episode and not knowing that they will be leaving with the 2012 Volkswagen New Beetles. Oprah Winfrey's purpose of giving away all this tremendous gift was a was of thanking her audience for supporting her for the past 25 years. She mentioned in the article that “It’s not really about all the stuff, It really is, for me, about hope. It’s about knowing that something really magical and joyful and wonderful can happen to you when you least expect it.” and that's what happened to the lucky 275 audience on that day. Oprah Winfrey is one of Americas most powerful people up till today and regardless of how much popularity and wealth she has earned through our her career, she has been able to maintain a sense of humility and compassion which I think is commendable. For the past 25 years, she has been positively influencing the lives of people in need through donations or in other form of ways which has proven that she is the women who can truly make a difference in this world. Even though Oprah has ended her daily talk show, I am sure she will still continue inspire and make a difference in people's life through one way or another.

But it really took me by surprise upon hearing the divorce of singer Christina Aguilera. She has been one of my all time favourite idol and many of her songs has given me the movitaion to get up in life and move on whenever I was down. Hearing this horrying news about her was really saddening. They were one of those couples whom I believed that would have made it through their marraige. But I guess, I was wrong. In the article, it was mentioned that Christina Aguilera had cheated on her husband but that has yet to be confirmed. The couple have a 2 year old child named Max whom they will both be sharing the custody of. I am sure that Chistina Aguilera will be strong enough to go through this tough moment in her life now with the support and encouragment of her family memebes, I sincerely hope all the very best for her.
