Mall Excursion

Yesterday was a great day! It all started with the usual gym, room service, shower, then a little TV watchin. Then I was supposed to meet with the other two singers to go shopping because we all have to have something pink to wear for tonight, it's our official launch at the club. Supposedly there's going to be reporters, news channels, magazines and all sorts of people there to watch us, talk about pressure! But anyway, I missed their call so I ended up going to the mall myself, yeah yeah, I know that sounds all scary, but it really wasn't, it's only one stop down on the subway thing and it's just like being at home in the mall just with different people.
So I get to the mall, the one I talked about before, it's called the Midvalley Megamall, it's HUGE! I went through the whole mall then found a little passageway that lead to another mall called the Garden Mall, and that one was huge too! I ended up finding just a plain pink shirt, nothing special after all those stores, but it was still a blast.
Now for the bad part, somehow I'm already sick. One of the girl singers was sick when she got here and I caught it of course because I catch every illness around me. It's pretty much just a sore throat but it's definitely affecting my voice. In the show last night there were quite a few notes I had to strain to get through but I remembered all my words!!!! Yes!!!
Everyone I talked to after each set last night said how much they love our band already, way more than the band that was here before us. So that is great news. I talked to one man last night who told me that I need to get back to the U.S. to try out for X-Factor. He told me that he knows things about Simon Cowell and if I use it in my interviews I would get on the show for sure....hmmm...I might have to think about that.
I've discovered one of the biggest challenges with this job is going to be avoiding all the drinks. Everyone wants to buy us drinks because we are the band, and it's very impolite to say no, so I just have to take them and pretend to drink. I don't know how all the others do it, even if I liked to drink I wouldn't be able to do it and then go up and sing, it totally effects your voice. But to each their own!
One last thing, I felt my first little touch of homesickness today. I woke up at 6ish this morning(courtesy of jetlag) and just felt sad, but I got up, drank some water and went back to bed, then when I woke up at 1 I felt better! So hopefully that stays away, of course I'm going to miss things about home but that sad feeling is no fun. That's about it for now.
