JUST A GLIMPSE...

It has become my habit to look around and appreciate sights and sound a step away. It brings out the contemplative side of my personhood that keeps on searching for anything that can catch attention. And in this world of constant change and countless angles, I could say life is a kaleidoscope of experiences of different people on almost everything that comes along the way.


I invite you to join me in my journal as I feature the colourful panorama of this modern life seen from different perspectives. Allow me to take you to see other sides… even the unexplored dimensions as I further search, dissect, scrutinize, and rediscover anything under the sun. This blog is a feast of the many fascinating things about life and what it has to offer.


Go through the pages and have a peek… enjoy the kaleidoscope, then let your mind speak!

PED MERCADO

THE RESURGENCE OF...



Britney Spears...
She is a pop icon of the late 90s.
Who wouldn't remember her and her songs: Baby One More Time, Oops... I did it again and the likes. To date, she is still one of the best-selling pop singing stars in the history of contemporary music. She has sold gazillion albums and still counting, I guess.

I am no big fan of Britney, but looking at her persona, I must not deny the fact that she is an image to reckon with...

Her life is an open book. From her emergence to stardom to her scandalous and troubled life that came afterwards... and now, her resurgence to hold her grip on her stature in the music arena.

Recently, she released an album: Femme Fatale, which debuted at number one in the Billboard charts making her the first female to have six number one album debuts. (source:http://www.britneyspears.com). That is a feat to beat, don't you think so?

I already got a glimpse of her single, 'Till the World Ends' and it is making a statement. A statement that says, 'I'm back!'

Looking at her performance, I noticed that it is now different in a way. She somehow lost the power and stamina of her youth. Her signature moves in her music videos are still there, but they are not as dynamic as before. Let us just say it is called the passing of the youth. Her vocals are still the same. Listening to her makes me say, she's like Paula Abdul and Madonna, they are better dancers than singers. I am not trying to be critical about her but let us be honest that there are many singers out there better than her vocal pipes.

Again, I am not a big fan of Britney, but it is about her life that interests me. Her rise from her soon-to-be-dead career reminds me that:

All of us inevitably go through life's ups and downs, it is normal, but, when we fall big time, we are all given a chance to reclaim ourselves and be back standing with our own two feet.

All of us are not exempted from failures, but when we have the right people around us who can support us... love us... risk for us... then we can all stage a fiery comeback, just like Britney.

In the end, we can always say, "Nothing can put a good man down."
