Don't Forget: Demi Lovato




I know I'm pretty old to be listening to this album but i'm sorry i just can't help it. i was so obssessed with Miley Cyrus' "See You Again" before until I heard this girl's "Get Back". I never liked her in "This Is Me". I did not like the way she moved on the music video. She was like a retard (please excuse me).

Good thing she was a little refined on her newest single. I actually love her voice, specially when she sang the Star Spangled banner (watch it in youtube). I believe she can sing better than Miley.
Don't Forget is the title of Demi's debut album through Hollywood Records. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. the tracks from this album are somewhat similar to the Jonas Brother's sound (maybe because they co-produced the album and they co-wote some of the songs as well). if you will listen carefully to the first released single "Get Back" it has the same intro as "S.O.S." She wrote a song for her friend Selena gomez titled "Two Worlds Collide" and a song that tells about expectations of Hollywood and how she will stay the same through the song "La la Land" which was her second album.

the album cover is so artistic (that's based on my opinion). i mean, hey, it's very rare for an artistist to have that kind of cover. the black and red color is just so right. the tracks include:
1. "La La Land (Demi Lovato Song)"
2. "Get Back"
3. "Trainwreck"
4. "Party"
5. "On the Line" (featuring Jonas Brothers)
6. "Don't Forget"
7. "Gonna Get Caught"
8. "Two Worlds Collide"
9. "The Middle"
10. "Until You're Mine"
11. "Believe in Me"

my picks: Until You're Mine, Believe in Me and Don't forget. don't ask me why. just listen to these songs. or better yet, listen to the whole album.

hello 2009! i am now a health conscious person.

it's the start of the year and i'm planning to do something worthwhile. i've been so idle the whole year i think. i was just contented with what i have and i didn't even dare do something that would improve myself as a human being. i just work, sleep, sometimes i skip meals and listen to music. a very boring life indeed.

it's by the end of last year that i decided to gain weight. i've been so skinny all my life. i want to have even just a little muscle.

i'm currently taking this vitamin that was prescribed to me by JB (he's not a doctor though, just a friend). whenever i'm out of vitamins, he'll buy me. he's very supportive. thank you JB.

i can see that it's effective because he gained weight. seriously, he's thin just like me before.

anyway here i am gaining some weight as well since this time, i can't skip meals. but the weight's focused on my tummy! he said that out of the changes that'll happen, it'll be the bulging tummy that's going to be prominent. i no longer use belt on some of my pants, and for my shirts, my armpit hurts sometimes because my small shirt wouldn't fit. i love these changes.

believe it or not, i got so self-conscious when i saw my bulging tummy in the mirror. everyone noticed it and i was kind of embarassed when they tell me that my tummy's big. i was alarmed and so i decided to do some belly dancing and a little hip-hop abs, with a little yoga poses every morning. i started doing this 2nd week of December.i'm doing it til now. i enjoy what i'm doing and i think that's the main reason why i'm motivated in doing it. it's important that we love what we do, to get what we want to achieve.

aside from this, i also watch the food that i eat. i make sure that i eat a lot of protein since my main goal is to build muscles for my tiny body. i started researching yesterday and i wrote down all important details in my handy-dandy notebook.

i am planning to do this all year. i'm documenting everything on my diary and for my plans, i have it written down on my planner. not a bad start for the year of the Ox huh? let's just see what will happen to me by the end of this year.

can somebody please say "Good Luck" to me?


P.S. i did 40 push ups in 4 sets this morning. i never tried doing it for like 8 years since i left high school.

(photos will soon follow hahaha)

Loneliest Christmas


this is my third Christmas in the city.


i'm so lonely. i miss the province. i miss the way we celebrate the holidays.my Christmas this year is just like any ordinary day except the fact that you know it's Christmas day. The date is marked red on the calendar to tell you that it's a holiday but still, i found no reason to celebrate. i'm surrounded with a lot of people who cares for me, i've received gifts (many thanks to those who cared), there are christmas lights, christmas tree and christmas carols i see and hear everywhere, but still i feel so empty. and for the first time in my life i asked this question:"Where are you Christmas?"


just for the sake that it's Christmas, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
