GOOD AND BAD NEWS

i don't know if you guys have heard of kris aquino's album, songs of love & healing. when i first saw her poster at music one, the first thing that came to mind was..."kris aquino is a recording artist now?" well, apparently a lot of people have this misconception about the album. it's actually a compilation of some of her favorite songs performed by misty blue and one by jed madela. ofcourse, with kris aquino's name, it's no surprise that this album has already reached platinum status.

you can imagine how i felt when i heard that the big boss from universal records wanted to feature ME in the next kris aquino album. as in...the big boss himself actually thought of me?! that's probably the best compliment ever.

.

they've asked me to do four songs for the album, and ofcourse i'm not going to say which songs, because IT'S A SECRET! :) i just got a copy of the songs last night and i learned them just this afternoon before i had to go in the studio to record them. (time is a luxury i don't have...just listen to my composition WHERE IS THE TIME from my album now & then! i'm sure you guys can relate.) tomorrow i'm going back to the studio to do some final polishing on the tracks. i don't know yet who the other featured artists are, but you can anticipate the release of this album very soon.

in other news, i auditioned for this show tfc connect which airs on all tfc territories across the globe. they're looking for new hosts and i thought i would be perfect for the job. but as soon as i got there, i realized that speaking filipino was a prerequisite. i thought i could go in there, bust out my english, and win them over. but nooo...silly (overconfident) me! filipinos across the globe would want to be reminded of home, therefore they would want a FILIPINO-SPEAKING host! not another english-speaking fil-am! aarrgghh!!! i mean, yeah, i can speak filipino alriiiiight, but it is no where near fluent. so when i realized this, my confidence level came crashing down along with my energy level. as i was doing my vtr, all i kept hearing from the crew was "more energy! more energy!" ahhhhhhhhhh! i SOOO did not get that job.

you win some, you lose some. i try not to make too much of a big deal out of anything, whether it's good or bad, because i think it's the only way to stay sane. oh! like the other day, i read my first negative comment about myself. and...i just laughed at it. because it was pretty damn funny! i'll find it again so i can copy and paste it here. you guys gotta read it, it's hilarious. :P (SEE PREVIOUS POST.)
