Dear Diary,
As I write this down right now, I am at my mom's office. It's so totally boring here... I wish I could get out and do some shopping! Well, I would just love to go out and buy some Westlife stuff! That would be sooooo great! There's nothing better than buying the latest stuff on my absolute fave band! Oh man! Their latest single is out today! Well, it won't be available here, but I asked a friend of mine to go and get it for me. It's called "Fool Again". A totally great song. Hmm... I heard in the mailing lists that Mark from Westlife already has a girlfriend. Well, if I didn't ask, I wouldn't even know! At least I know now... am I jealous? No! Not at all. It's not like I love him or anything. I just like him because he's cute... that's all. Well, there are rumors that they'll be going here to the Philippines for the first time ever. I think it's around May. I can't wait! I won't miss it for the world. I've waited so long for this. They've been to Asia like, twice or three times I think and they've always skipped the Philippines. At least this time hopefully they're going! That's what I really don't like here ever since me and my family moved here coz of my father's work. One is that I miss everything in the UK that I left behind... i miss London, my friends everything, two is that things here are really... well, quite behind. Like for example, I heard Westlife on the radio during an interview a few weeks ago, and the dj was like, "We've just released your new single here which is Seasons In The Sun..." and I was like "It's Fool Again stupid!" I mean, they've released Westlife's third single here just now when Westlife are already releasing their fifth one! Well, I really couldn't do anything about it. I can't wait to see what they're like in real life. I won't be getting my hopes up though, imagining that they'll be totally perfect in real life and sweet and all that. I have met a particular band before, and let's say, I really didn't like it at all. It was so disappointing. Especially when I heard all this stuff about other people meeting them and saying, "They're so nice, they're absolutely perfect." They have been my favorite band for almost 2 years and more, but when I met them, I lost interest. I mean, the lead singer was like a TOTAL snob and all. He was so rude, he didn't even talk to the fans. I was like, "Hi there!" and he didn't even as much as look at me to pose for a picture or anything or to talk to me! Rude would be an understatement! What's this talk of his about, "We love our fans, we wouldn't be where we are right now without them." After that, I wanted to chuck out all my stuff on that band. I don't even want to say what their name is anymore! Well, enough about that. On to the much more pleasant subject... Westlife! I am so excited really! Just seeing their pictures and thinking that I might get to meet them... it makes me all so giddy and excited. I really don't want to imagine things.... it just makes me hope and dream too much and I know that sooner or later I'd get hurt. And I've been hurt too much before with hoping that I'd have a chance with "the impossible dream". Anyway, I've got to go now. I'm getting dramatic here... and I'll be going to the dentist in just a short while so I better get going.
