Barbie "The Singles"

I just bought Barbie Almalbis' "The Singles" album yesterday for Php350 which is not bad considering the fact that it's a collection of all her hit singles including "Torpe" and my personal favorite "Firewoman" from her previous band Hungry Young Poets to her current band Barbie's Cradle.


The album contains 18 tracks plus a bonus VCD of 12 of her music videos and live performances at Gotham Bar. I kinda like the vibe of "Independence Day" it's actually my first time to hear the song as well as her version of "Pangarap" there's another version sung by MYX VJ Karel. Barbie's version is way better because of its simplicity and the subtleness in her voice. This album is a must have especially for those who haven't got the chance to own any of her previous albums. I wasn't able to score a copy of their debut album back in her Hungry Young Poets days. I only have 2 of her previous albums, the Self-titled one and "Breakfast from the Buffet Table." Good thing Firewoman and The Dance are both included in this VCD. I didn't like most of Barbie's Cradle music videos to be honest.  I enjoy Barbie's unique vocal quality and her musical style and if you're a fan of hers like myself, you'll definitely love this album.

G-Mag

I've been reading a lot of girly magazines these days I find it kinda unusual of me. I just found myself enjoying reading the articles and looking at pictures of beautiful women, clothes, make-up, etc.


I used to simply ignore these type of reading materials because you just can't help but envy these beautiful women it makes you change the way you look at yourself sometimes. For some reason, these magazines make you want to try stuff they advertised just to be surprised that they don't look good on you. It's a pretty good reference sometimes especially if you're the type of person like myself who love to experiment on make-up, clothes, and accessories.

Creepy Cab Driver

It's a Saturday, I'm home alone. My sister had to go to work today so I'm all by myself. I haven't slept yet when I got home this morning. I'm not sleepy yet, but while I'm writing this I'm starting to feel the heaviness in my eyes.


It took me quite a while to get a ride home this morning until I finally saw an empty FX I didn't hesitate even if I'm the only passenger. I usually prefer to ride an empty FX, I like sitting beside the driver's seat and hate getting squeezed by other passengers. I want my money's worth and that is comfort. On my way home I thought I heard the driver asked me where I live. He even asked if I was listening to my phone's radio but I pretended that I did not hear anything so I did not respond to his query. I honestly don't feel comfortable talking to a stranger. I supposed he's just trying to start a small talk maybe he's bored, or he finds me charming, or whatever, but I really don't care. I'm not being snob, it's just that I find him intrusive and not all passengers are willing to talk about anything they might be tired or paranoid or just simply not in the mood. He gives me creeps. I might be the paranoid one but you'll never know whom to trust these days.

What to do with creepy drivers?

Sleep, Eat + Chicken Pox Scare

I had 8 hours of sleep. This week's a drag I deserve a lot of good sleep.

I haven't eaten a lot yet that's why I'm quite starving now. I just had chicken soup and Magic Flakes crackers for dinner, and that's about it. I don't eat a lot on weekends because if I do, I won't stop eating. If I give in to my cravings I'd want more until my eating will be uncontrollable again. Worst, I can't wear most of my clothes again. I don't want to get fat and it's not that I'm too figure-conscious, I just find it inconvenient for me not being able to wear what I like just because they won't fit anymore.


Anyway, the chickenpox scare just won't leave me alone about two weeks ago my sister had chickenpox, now it's my niece's turn. I just hope that my anti-pox vaccine will save me.
