Pop Culture: Britney Spears

Diary of a Fan Girl

"Lucky"

Once upon a time, there lived a Princess. She was the fairest of them all, and also the most famous in her kingdom.. Wait, wrong story there. Sorry. It's a long story here, but not that old. Let's do some basic math...it was 15 years ago....wow. Crazy how time never seems to wait for anyone~

Britney Spears; The Story of a Fallen Princess

I have a soft spot for Britney Spears, I know I'm going to sound like a broken record here but yeah, I am a BIG FAN. I was 11 when she debuted as a singer in 1999. It was high time on which girls my age just hit puberty.

The mid 2000's fashion...I know

I thought she was unbelievably beautiful here
then

From hairstyle, clothes, makeup, accessories, boyfriend (nope)......all heavily influenced by the pop princess. We practically grow with her through a girl's hardest phase. That is why I'm so fond of her I guess..

Albums & Songs

Compilation of her Full Albums  

Her infamous single found its way to our radio/tv around mid 2000's (that country is always slow on the uptake & trends), and went on to become such a sensation. I still remember, the song was practically everywhere. Back then, there are no Youtube, Twitter, Facebook etc. Nothing and sucky internet connection to boot. We survived on MTV and Channel V. And praise to piracy Lord for the pirated VCDs too. My friends  would buy her albums but I couldn't afford even cassettes back then *cries nostalgically*. Remember when walkman/discman were the Ipod of our time, 90's kid? Good times. It was the best time indeed.

The First Album

Watched it first at a local Speedy Store.

My favourite song of hers? Baby One More Time. No contest. But to be honest, I love most of her earlier songs. Her 1st album remains her best album to me, though some people would beg to differ. To each his/her own I would say. Britney is a limited singer obviously and it went from bad to worst as time passed. Not to mention the trap of fame and wealth at a very young age, being the cash cow for both family and her recording company..it's sad (speaking like a true fan) which led to her infamous meltdown few years ago at the height of her fame. 

I was so in love with her style on the right.

She's still working today because she can.



To a Brighter Future~

My sister used to mock me for obsessing over her and her songs. I was young then but still, I love her so much and I still love her today. I do feel bad to my sister for terrorizing her childhood replaying "Lucky" over and over (seriously, I cringed hard whenever the scene of me singing along Britney's Lucky and admiring the MV crosses my mind). No wonder she has a kooky playlist now. Lastly, I would like to dedicate this blog post for both Britney Spears and the late 90's. Cheers!

Ps: I bought her autobiography albeit at a discounted discounted price. Shhhh!

Long Time No See

Wow. Its been like a year since I last logged in. So many things happened and so many kind of weights gained..you know, metaphorically speaking...and literally(?) haha. Not funny, I know I know.

So what's up everyone, no one? It's been particularly eventful but not that progressive in terms of life fulfillment(?) or satisfaction on my part. But hah, who cares, life goes on, it's short so make it sweet while you are at it. And yes, I am one bitter b*tch, so here's one for ya;

Oh, yeah!

One more trouble I have lately is sleeping. I always have trouble trying to sleep, I cut my coffee, I dont *bleep* much, and other things I thought might contribute to mild insomnia.  

That's all for now, hopefully I can keep updating this pathetic blog of mine consistently. Goodnight and have a good sleep everyone(no one)!
