Mandy Moore Mania in Manila...

I didn't like her when she first came out with Candy years ago. But after seeing the video of I Wanna Be With You from the movie Center Stage [the hot dancer guy in the vid helped too], I must admit I liked the song eventhough I wasn't into the singer.

The following year, she came out in her own movie, A Walk To Remember, watched it, fell in love and bought the soundtrack, I still have to read the book where the movie was based, she could act though need more training. Cry is my favorite in the soundtrack.

November this year, her album Coverage came out here in Manila. My sister got a copy. I must say, I lovelike the album. She did a good job on most of the songs. Even introduced me to new "old" songs. My favorite would have to be Senses Working Overtime and Moonshadow. You could give her CD a try. You might be surprised and like what you hear. Her Candy days are way over.

I'm a twenty-something person who likes an almost twenty-year old singer. Hah. Nothing wrong with that right? Music is ageless. [Hmmm...]

Mariah in Manila...

My sisters and I watched the Mariah gig last Sunday night. It was a long wait. We got there around 4pm-ish. I don't know why we got there early but my sister J [the Mariah fan] insisted that we be there early. Surprisingly when we got to the venue, a lotta people were already there. Hmmm. I'm not really a Mariah fan but I'm familiar with most of her songs coz my sister plays them non-stop whenever she's cleaning the room or something. My most favorite song of Mariah is Breakdown [which unfortunately, she didn't perform.]

Anyhoo, it was a sight to see a lot of Mariah fans all in one place, creating a positive vibe, cheering/screaming at the top of their lungs. I can see myself in them when I watched the Alanis Morrissette/The Cranberries/Duncan Sheik gigs. It was FUN to see them.

What can I say about Mariah performing live? She can sing. She's a tease. She's the epitome of "if you have it, flaunt it" without it being vulgar. She's sexy [I'm pretty sure a lotta guys liked her clothes, she had a number of wardrobe changes]. Most of her songs are positive, uplifting songs. I actually like My Saving Grace. Will look for the lyrics of that and post it here sometime. All in all. It was a good show. My sister J enjoyed it so much. I guess, everybody went home happy. [Even the cellphone snatchers....that's another story...tsk tsk tsk...]

Had a good weekend...

I had a good long weekend. Yay. Been with people that I like to be around with. It started around 2PM that ended past 2AM. Too bad a few people that I wanted to see didn't make it. Next time. Ate a lot of edibles [Pork something, fish, chicken adobo, veggies and lumpia, buko pandan for lunch; Pizza and KFC chicken for dinner. Dalandan Soda and chips too.] Learned a new card game called in between. It was a lot of FUN.

My Sunday was spent playing badminton with my HS friend. Most of our friends didn't make. Darn. We played for an hour and a half. Sweat Galore. As in. Slept when I got home 'til about 6pm-ish. Had dinner. Took my shower and last but definitely not the least went to church. And my weekend is complete. Tomorrow is the start of yet another working week. Haaaay. Life is such.

By The Way...

I FINALLY got myself a new mobile phone last week. It's a Nokia 2100, I wanted to have the 3100 [it glows in the dark] but my money wasn't enough. I'm okay with my new phone. Glad to have it. You can put a 2x2 sized pic at the back and my four year old cousin Nadine's mug is there now. Makes me smile everytime I look at it.

Went to Loyola Cemetery last Sunday for our yearly All-Saints/Souls Day tradition. It was a good day.

2 Sundays have passed without playing badminton with my HS friends. I'm looking forward to this Sunday's game. Yay.

Missed the third episode of Twisted radio last Monday, went out and played badminton with my sisters and cousins. Sweat Galore.

I forgot to time the VCR for last night's Everwood, badminton again. I love this game.

Today, is technically a Thursday, where did the 3 work days go? I'm not complaining though. My weekend will be quite eventful. Lunch 'til you drop, more like like lunch/dinner 'til you drop at Tita Tess. I hope the EBC will all make it there. The presence of the Queen who's still in Switzerland will be missed.

On the work front, God is making it easy for us. We got a Greenlane on our entry. Another shipment is expected to arrive today. Thank God. INDEED.
