You want a piece of her?

Yay! Britney Spears finally got up from her cheeto/vodka Malibu pad, and got her act together to shoot a new video! Britney filmed the video for "Piece of Me" (one of the greatest songs of the album" at club Social in Hollywood this week. She pulled a 6 hour,non stop shift to finish the video, from 9:30 to 6:30 in the morning of the next day! The video was directed by Wayne Isham, who also directed her video "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" in 2002.

The premise of the video is Britney dealing with the paparazzi that follow her while she goes to a club. Britney shot scenes of her with a lot of extras dressed as her, with a short-blonde wig, and black trenchcoats (see picture of her). I really really hope this is a great video from her. This is the last chance to make "Blackout" a success. I believe this video will be way better than "Gimme More".

Please NO Deja Vu!

Wildfires in Malibu as we speak. That's how the San Diego wildfires started a few weeks ago. PLEASE GOD DO NOT LET HISTORY REPEAT.

It's almost Thanksgiving..

Wow, I looove this part of the year. Yesterday on my way to the Gym I started to see the christmas lights on the streets and houses getting ready for the holidays. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and it couldn't come in a better time. We're set to put out our family's christmas tree today and preparations are on the way for the dinner. Gaaawd, turkey, mash potatoes, cheese cake, I don't know what am I going to do. But putting the trivialities aside, there is a lot that I'm greatful in this wonderful year, the best year of my life, by far.

I am greatful first of all, for giving me one more year of life. For keeping my family and friends healthy, happy and alive. For giving my parents strenght to keep on doing what they do, for giving them the drive to keep working and growing and for them to do all what they do for me and my sister. I am thankful for having such an amazing sister and I am more thankful that our friendship has grown a lot during this year. I am really grateful for having met so many amazing new friends this year, my CCNMA gang, my MOH possie and all of my other old friends.

There is so many blessings that have been given to me this year. And after saying what I'm thankful for, I just want to ask one more thing to God. Please make next year even better than this year. With college coming up, I need a lot more strength. Thank you very much everybody, I love you all very deeply. Happy Thanksgiving.

Soulja STOP

Okay, I have to admit that even though I whole-heartedly hate that "Soulja Boy" song, I find it really amusing to watch all of those stupid-yet funny videos people make of the song and post it on YouTube.But seriously though, who would take time of their precious lifes to do videos like this? Or who would take the time to watch them. That's me. And don't tell me you haven't seen some of this. This are a couple of my favorites:

MUSIC REVIEW: Britney Spears "Blackout"

Britney Spears "Blackout"
Grade: A-

OK. I love Britney Spears but I am going to try to be as partial as I can with this. "Blackout" is the best album of Britney Spears' career. Ever.

After a rollercoaster of a year for her, Britney Spears comes back to do what she does best. "Blackout" is a surprisingly solid album with amazing beats and full of energy and attitude. The voice aspect of it though, is somehow under-rated. Britney's voice is blurred by synthetizer that kinda makes her sound like a robot in every single song. But that is what makes the songs of the album so great.

After the now world-wide hit "Gimme More", Britney gets to deliver even more solid tracks, such as "Radar", "Get Naked", "Why Should I be Sad?", "Freakshow" and "Toy Soldier". This last one, is a master piece. For any dance music lover, it is just like hearing the Milan Cathedral choir. It's like music to my ears. But the credit of the success of "Blackout" is not Britney's, it's mainly the producers. Danja, Bloodshy and Avant, The Neptunes, J.R Rothem and T-Pain among others.

"Blackout" has mostly received amazing reviews. "Entretainment Weekly" magazine gave it a B+, while "People Magazine" gave it 3 out of 4 stars. The Associated Press, MTV, US Weekly and the Chicago Sun-Times have also praised this album. And it is just the beggining. Barry Weiss,the president of Britney's record label, Zomba Music Label, says they have shipped around a million copies of the album just in the United States and the Editor-in-chief of Billboard Magazine expect sales of this album to be around 200-300 thousand copies on the first week, making it debut at number 1.

I don't doubt it. The critical and mass reception of "Gimme More" has been more than impressive, and has shut out many bad comments about her, shiftin the focus from her personal life to her career. Even though her personal life is going down the drain, her career still has a bit of hope. "Blackout" is such an amazing album, that it just makes me imagine how great would it be to have Britney actually doing promotion about it.

Still, this album will be a worldwide hit, despite herself. "Blackout" is on sale in parts of Latinamerica and Europe right now, and it will come out in the UK on Monday and in the US and Canada on Tuesday. You can stream it free on mtv.com, vh1.com, and logoonline.com. After you hear it, you will want to buy it. Guaranteed. BRITNEY IS BACK, BITCH.

San Diego devastated by the fires.

WOW, when I wrote the last post I didn't think it was going to get as ugly as it is. A couple of hours after I posted we had to get kicked out of the school because the air conditions were bad and there was a fire in San Ysidro, really close to my house.

So we all went home after a chaos created by alarmed parents waiting for us outside the school and then I went home to find out how bad the situation is. Me and my family have been glued to the TV waiting for the news updates about it. Every single local channel has been covering the fires non-stop. I have also called a lot of my friends that live in the East County to see If they were good.

We went to sleep with the fear that the fires might reach the part of Chula Vista where we live and we woke up we found out there was mandatory evacuation in parts of Eastlake (about 10 min. driving distance from my place), and recommended voluntary evacuation where I live. We had our stuff packed since yesterday and were only waiting to get official confirmation from Reverse 911.

Thank god, the fire in Chula Vista has just cleared out. Still, every high school in San Diego county has canceled classes for the rest of the week. The authorities are telling us to save energy and volunteer for all the affected people that lost their houses, especially in zones like Poway and Rancho San Diego. I'm going to try to volunteer tomorrow and on the weekend.

I want to thank god for letting us being safe, and for taking care of my friends and family. Thanks to all of my friends who were worried for me and were texting me throughout the whole ordeal, especially ADAM LEE and KAITLIN SCHLUTER (you guys are the bomb!). Thanks Adam for offering your house to evacuate.. Thank god we didn't have to..

PLEASE KEEP ON PRAYING BECAUSE THERE IS STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE IN NEED. HOPEFULLY TOMORROW THE CONDITIONS WILL HELP STABILIZE EVERYTHING. WE WILL PREVAIL.
