nonsense and some sense

i'm one of those people who get a cough and cold like every three months. but since the start of 2008, i've been doing such. a. good. job. at not getting sick. that is ofcourse up until now. i could blame my lack of sleep, which in turn lowered my immune system, so that after staying at a public place, i was more susceptible to the ever so common cold. but then again, i could just blame myself for not going to bed early enough.


after realizing how sickly i am because of my poor sleeping habits, or the absence thereof, i have miraculously turned into some kind of a morning person. i may be jumping the gun in making that statement since it has only been three days. but since then, i have been going to bed at midnight. not at three, four, or five am. midnight! to top it off, i have been waking up at nine am! i don't usually wake up in the "am" at all, so that is just truly magnificent for me. and oh it feels so good to see the sun on the other side of the street. and my cough and cold which usually lasts two weeks? well...i think i'll be all better by this weekend! so congratulations are in order. i have finally listened to everyone's advice: "go to bed early."

but enough of that. i shall no longer rant about my health. don't worry...this isn't going to be one of those blogs. i don't want to bore you to tears...i do however have a few updates as long as i'm blogging away.


at the end of the year, there will be certain highlights that everyone will look back upon. being signed as an mca artist is definitely one of my highlights. i did my first gig as an mca artist during the mariah carey victory party at eastwood. and now i am recording my sophomore album with the major label. i am trying to include some of my own compositions, but a lot of people are saying that they just don't jive with the album. actually, i sugarcoated their comments. (pang doobie night daw.) i am doomed to forever doing covers. (don't get me wrong--i love the songs obviously, but i just really wish i could have people hear my originals!)


i also did my first tv commercial, which has been on my to-do list since i was like 16. i'm so happy it finally happened. oh but i can't really talk about that until they start airing it. so just watch out for it instead...

aside from the career, i was able to reunite with two of my closest friends from chicago: my best friend maria who i haven't seen in six years, and my other good friend katrina who i haven't seen in three. we escaped to boracay and were lucky enough to have good weather in a normally rainy season. even after the recent storm, boracay was still as beautiful as ever. (i had so much fun with you, maria and kat!!! memories to last a lifetime!)


before i go...let me invite you guys to watch me live. i'm back at aruba metrowalk every tuesday with my kickass band. so i'll see you when i see you. i gotta walk my dog now.
