My Brother bought me a copy of Christina Aguilera’s best of album entitled Keeps Gettin’ Better: A Decade of Hits this afternoon while we were at the mall. I’ve always thought that Christina Aguilera has a really nice voice and I definitely enjoy listening to most of her songs, especially since they remind me of my high school days. I wasn’t a fan of hers during her Dirrrrty days, but I used to have a lot of fun listening to her first ever studio album, which I only have in cassette.

Old favorites like I Turn to You, Genie in a Bottle and Nobody Wants to Be Lonely (with Ricky Martin) are included in the best of album alongside tracks like Lady Marmalade and Fighter. Keeps Gettin’ Better is made up of 16 tracks and also comes with a bonus DVD.

There was one *VERY* important event yesterday, and it was also one of those events when I feel really sad that I still haven’t bought my Nikon D40: It was Michael Johns’ concert at TriNoMa in Quezon City. Michael Johns was my absolute favorite from American Idol Season 7 and boy, was I terribly dismayed when he was booted out of the show. So you can imagine my excitement when my Mom told me that Michael Johns was coming to Manila to perform!

I invited The Boyfriend, My Best Friend and Deny to come join me yesterday evening. The show started at exactly 7 P.M. and ended around 8 P.M. He sang 11 songs, two of which was his original work. A lot of people came to watch the American Idol Finalist perform, and I’m glad to say he didn’t disappoint. Some of the songs he sang included Oasis’ Wonderwall, Simpleminds’ Don’t You Forget About Me, The Beatles’ Come Together and Queen’s We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions.

My friends and I only got to watch the performance from the third floor of the mall since we missed getting tickets for the 200 seats available. For those lucky enough to be the first ones to obtain tickets for his concert, they were also given the chance to have their photo taken with Michael Johns himself after his performance. I still can’t believe I didn’t manage to get my hands on those highly prized tickets…. Anyway, Michael Johns also announced that his first studio album may be out by March 2009 here in Manila. Can’t wait!!!

My Best Friend, Deny and I were at TriNoMa early yesterday to catch the showing of The Women (starring Meg Ryan). It was definitely one of the few movies I really enjoyed watching and wouldn’t mind watching again. I can say that while the story isn’t very mind boggling, it still is a film women would take pleasure in watching, especially when they’re with their lady friends.
