i thought, if ever i become a famous, filthy-rich celebrity..

and the most likely reason why i would be popular is because i have a BOYFRIEND who is a:
1. badass rockstar
2. down-right good-looking actor, or
3. the hottest member of a boy band (which is a dream i had given up a long time ago, but i'm still keeping my fingers crossed)
other than that, i don't think i could be famous as an actress or a musician or anything that requires talent, TOUGH LUCK.

.. if i do become famous and would be asked in a future interview (you know those stuffs like they ask you about your favorite color, food, pet, and even your favorite underwear) which in my opinion is the best album on planet earth, last week i thought i would answer john mayer's HEAVIER THINGS.

but today, i think i would answer differently in that far-distant interview.

thank you so much for my very neat-freak self, when i decided to run around and just find some random junk. i am oddly fond of seeing things i had/made way back when i was 13 or something. i actually found 2 things, both of which goes under the same category/phase in my life. i am not going to tell you the first one, (but if you want to know, find rowi and ask, she knows it. *wink*) but i found it along with my very precious *NSYNC No Strings Attached CD. and it's dusty and all, but thank heavens really, it's not broken. of course, i would've wished for it to be completely okay because i actually had it shipped from the states on the time of its release, because i am such a fan. (yes, i am not ashamed of it.) i don't like the idea of having spent $20 for it and just turn out to be trash after years.

after that, those 2 things made me go and look for my *NSYNC Making the Tour DVD. i was wise enough to keep it, because i spent yet another good deal on this as much as i had for the CD. (excuse me, they didn't sell it in here in the philippines, only available in the states.)

a funny story this is, i have it bought for me and when i got it, I WAS SO MAD BECAUSE I COULDN'T WATCH IT! i almost killed myself (and oh, rowi too.) because i can't watch! it only occured to me only a few years later, when the dawn of the DVD revolution arrived, that the reason why i can't see my *NSYNC Making the Tour DVD is because we still don't have DVD players here in the philippines, year 2001. (you are all like, "oh my gwad!" right now, i know.)

moving on, so there, armed with my *NSYNC DVD and CD and the ______, it's like a trip down memory lane. i played the DVD, and watched it like i never saw it before. and then it hit me, these guys were the greatest thing that happened to me. and i wasn't kidding.

to tell you the story in its entirety would really hurt you. but the fact that i have been a *NSYNC fan during my teen years, is something that i am most grateful of in my whole life.

it made me open myself up to what reality is. not only that, because of my *NSYNC-worhipping self, i wouldn't have found my bestfriend. (uyyy, rowi! hehe!) 6 years it has been, and i look back at that time in my life and it's the best i ever had. and if in that interview, i would be asked in which part of my life would i much like to relive, it would be that, actually.

whether anyone of you who reads this would DISAGREE with me when i say *NSYNC is a great vocal group, i really don't care, because their music is a part of my life. and if you don't appreciate their music like i do, i'm so sorry for you, really.

so when i become popular, and donald trump/bill gates-rich:
Q: OWI, WHAT IS THE BEST ALBUM FOR YOU EVER?
A: oh, that would be *NSYNC's No Strings Attached. great music they have there. it's like that album is the reason why they became bigger and better. after that CD, they basically just grew up and made better music either as a group or individuals. the best songs i ever heard in my life are there. and i know you are going to ask me what would be my all-time favorite song, that would be 'This I Promise You'.
