connect the dots

i know it has been forever since my last post. and because of that i'm pretty sure this entry will consist of countless random topics on which i have failed to blog in the past two months.

first off...i want to know who is in charge of selecting the playlist at mcdo. i was grabbing a quick bite at the branch in glorietta one day and the songs being played were an unusual bunch. when i got there, "brick" by ben folds five was playing, and it was just refreshing to hear it again after a very long time. then a jason mraz number came on. you know the one that makes you feel like you're at the beach? it went well with my chicken mcnuggets. (don't ask me how i relate the beach to chicken mcnuggets.) after that, i was very surprised to hear "lions, tigers & bears" from jazmine sullivan. i absolutely loved her "fearless" album, but not a lot of radio stations here really played her songs. so i have to give credit to that mcdonald's branch. i was pleasantly stupefied (i just want an excuse to say stupefied) to have that not-so-typical background music with my meal.

speaking of which, my friend michelle texted me some time ago saying my entire "commited" cd was being played at the mcdonald's where she was eating. i mean if i loved mcdonald's before, i really love it now. i never got the chance to ask which branch that was. i want to go there and buy everyone a burger.


ahhh burgers. i think it will be a while before i can enjoy a burger again. it seems like the new greeting nowadays is "tumaba ka" or simply "you gained weight." i've never had to bother with diets before and now it's going to be on my to-do list everyday. we wrapped up the mossimo bikini summit about two weeks ago and this is where i realized how much weight i had really gained. i performed for the first (and hopefully last?) time wearing just a bikini and a see-through top. and i danced. or i tried to dance haha. i have to thank m for giving me those quick lessons. but geeeez...i didn't know how hard it was to dance and sing at the same time until i was out of breath doing it. i have a newfound respect for britney.

that girl has definitely made a comeback. back in the 90s i hated her. but now i just gotta hand it to her. some of her new beats are really sick--and that is just insane coming from someone who grew up in a ghetto. (DC baybeee!) but anyway. it seems i'm not the only one welcoming britney spears back to the scene. i just hope she doesn't do another movie. her best platform is still the radio.

now let me tell you...the radio music awards is just right around the corner. it's the first one of its kind here in the philippines and i'm really excited about it. i've got a nod in the best pop female category for my rendition of "if you're not the one." i don't even want to say anything more about that. i don't want to jinx it! but you can help me win people's choice award by logging on to http://www.radiomusicawards.com.ph/vote.html. i'm apparently also going to be a presenter. i don't know yet for what award but that's going to be fun. i've never presented anything except powerpoints.

ok. i'm going to read this a couple days from now and realize how many things i forgot to mention. but it's past midnight, and along with dieting i have promised to sleep earlier. it's all about being healthy. weee! let's see how long that lasts. if you are reading this, which is pretty evident that you are, i would like to wish you a gust of happiness and an exquisite day. don't let the rain getcha feeling down!
