Last week I thought of giving up smoking. Not because of my health, but because I wanted to have a valid reason
for feeling like shit.
I was succesful...
in finding a valid reason.
I realized that I am
not meant to succeed
at anything.
Excuse me while I light another cigarette...
And yes... I am the freak in the picture.

Mishka Adams
I absolutely adore her. I found her album in the same mp3 cd that had Romancing Venus on it that my friend got. Gosh, I never
liked jazz before. It always made me want to fall asleep but I love listening to this girl sing. Too bad I don't have a job right now so I can't exactly go out and watch her perform live and I think she's in London anyway. Aaaargh. Why the hell was I not watching TV 8 months ago? If only I was, I would've known that she had a gig at Eastwood. Eastwood!!! That darn place is only 20 mins. away!!! And I just found out that she did an album launch thingee at Marikina Riverbanks which is even closer to my house. Bad trip talaga!!!
My sister says that it's actually possible that that the radio station she's working for or a sponsor might invite her to do a show in Boracay this summer. Gosh, if this is true then I am gonna start saving up now so that I can go with them. I figured all I would have to worry is the plane fare. I know my sister and I ain't exactly chummy but I'm hoping she'd at least let me crash in her hotel room. She couldn't possibly bear to have me sleep on the beach, right? But then again... hmm...
Anyway check out her album, please!!! I think she won either best new artist or best performance by a new artist at the AWIT awards for it. Apparently there was some sort of controversy about it because she beat the likes of Kitchie Nadal and Nina for that award and some idiots were wondering if she was even Filipino. She IS Filipino. Actually, half Filipino, half British but have you heard her speak tagalog? I couldn't get my hands on any audio clips but take a look at this quote I found:
-- When she was asked whether she preferred her gigs in Q.C. this is what she said:
"Yeah I do. I have a little difficulty with Makati crowds... they're not really a listening crowd. It's so different. I dunno, nahihirapan ako. They're a lot louder, talking to each other. They're not very interested, well maybe at the moment - 'cause we hardly ever play there yet. But in Quezon City, people are really there, they really listen... after the solos, they'll really clap. So it's nice when I introduce the musicians - like our keyboardist Ria for example - then they'll go "Whooo!” But in Makati it's like, "Ha? Ano daw? Bakit? Ba't hindi na kumakanta?" (LAUGHS)
"Naku, hala, siguro pag lumabas yan, wala nang manunuod sakin (LAUGHS) But - it's true, di ba?"
Awwww... Isn't she just absolutely lovable?
No official website yet but I found the pictures and some articles at the Candid Records Philippines website.
*uhm... pano ba format ng footnote? whatever... basta... I got the quote from www.philmusic.com
