Well, what do you know! All you people out there who were crying non stop, thinking how poor Brit Brit Spears is all alone in the world, crazy, friendless and jobless, you can stop now. I mean really, you can stop, dry your tears and smile, ’cause the sun is shining again on the formerly-out of control fallen pop princess. Well, maybe not really shining, but a couple of rays are making their way down to Brit’s heart, and the frapp loving singer has a reason (or at least a pretext) to stop spending her days driving aimlessly around L.A. and hooking up with paparazzi lovers. Why? Well, because lil’ Brit Brit Spears landed a job, y’all, and is reportedly very excited about it.

And no, Britney is NOT trying to buy off Starbucks and become the multi-million dollar executive of a giant frappuccino-making international consortium – nor is she going back to singing, at least for now. No, she’s trying her hand at acting again (shudder). The singer’s representative has confirmed reports that she will make a guest appearance on the CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” Britney previously appeared as a guest on another CBS sitcom, “Will and Grace” (sometime at the beginning of 2006 if memory serves), and didn’t do such a horribly bad job of it, so here she is getting another shot at fame as an actress. Oh, joy.

No word yet on exactly what part Britney will be playing on the show, but it’s deemed to be a small project. Gossip site TMZ reported that the popwreck already took part in a read-through and she was “really funny”, according to a source. No word yet on whether the source found Britney herself funny (funny-looking is my guess), or whether Brit’s attempted performance was the source of the humor. Apparently, all this is nothing but “a small legitimate project that will keep her busy doing something”. Good for her. At least it’s not boozing, doing drugs or visiting gas stations at night and using public toilets. Big improvement, don’t you think?

I remember 3 years ago when I was roaming around town looking for a job. I have been to almost all offices here in Davao. By then, one of my criteria in accepting the job is the office itself. I am really motivated to do better in my interviews if I can see a good quality office furniture. It sounds ridiculous but ever since a child aside from becoming a fashion designer, my dream is to work in an office with a nice office desk with many subordinates reporting for me. When I accepted my current job I thought that I will be having my own desk but as expected I’m just an employee with no subordinates at all. The good thing is that on my first day in reporting in my so-called office I found a very comfortable ambiance with a kind manager. My work then is a customer service representative. I’m confident enough to do it better but my nervousness merely swallowed me. But I gained my composure as time goes by. At the end of the day I have to do my reports and to my surprise I found this huge office storage at the rear corner. It really looks very durable and very neat. By then I realized that even though I don’t have a desk I’m still working for an office and by that I consider it a dream come true.

Some experts say we are psychologically programmed to yearn for foods we associate with happiness. One thing for sure: when we need a pick me up, we rich for carbs. They produce serotonin- the brain chemical responsible for restoring our chirpy mood. So here’s a secret way to eating carbs the right way.

Carbs are vital to a healthy diet because they give us energy and it’s their glycaemic index (GI) we need to be wary of. GI is a ranking.. to describe how quickly the carbs they contain are digested and absorbed in the blood. Foods that are quickly digested have a high GI (70 or more) and foods that take the longest are low GI (less than 55). Here’s how to indulge in your fave foods without the guilt or weight gain..

Porridge or oatmeal has a medium GI. Natural oats are great for you. They are rich in vitamin B6 (which stimulates serotonin production) and help absorbs toxins. But if you add full-fat milk, sugar, or bananas, its GI increases, and you’ll be wanting more in about half an hour. Add peaches, pears, cherries or plums to lower its GI and fill you up.

Pasta – most pasta have a low GI, but its additives that count. Tomato-based ones are your best bet.

Pizza has a medium GI, but you can lower it with a few changes. Go for whole wheat or thin crust instead of high-GI white bread, and avoid cheese filled crusts. Toppings like tomato, low fat cheese, mushrooms and olives are good low GI options, and add herbs like basil or garlic.

Potato – some foods have high GI but are nutritious, like potatoes. If you can’t resist a cup of mash potatoes or a handful of chips, be savvy: sweet potato has a really low GI. Swap your French fries to camote wedges.

Dessert – ice cream and most cakes have a relatively low GI but contain “empty kilojules” (load of sugar with no nutritional benefits). Get a low fat version and add berries or peaches. A few squares of antioxidant-rich dark chocolate with nuts will also go a long way.
