One of their most notable songs is "Only One For Me" which established their image in the music industry as a girl group with a futuristic-like aura like the pop groups of the 90s.

Introducing Mary J. Blige's new girl group: Just'Us

With the emergence of the comeback of the boybands, girl groups don't want to be left behind in the challenge and if the comeback of boybands produced us Big Time Rush, The Wanted, One Direction and IM5, the comeback of girl groups also has Stooshe, Little Mix, HerStory and Fifth Harmony and of course, the much-awaited comeback of Destiny's Child. Aside from those girl groups, another one has emerged as one of the newest faces in the girl group scene, Just'Us!

L-R: Paris Moore, Maryland, London Savoy and Skye

Just'Us is Mary J. Blige's answer to the abandonment of the R&B music style of the 90s and the rise of the girl groups. They were debuted in July 4, 2012 after Mary J. Blige wrapped up her four-night concert series at Atlantic City's Caesar's Palace. They were the first girl group to be signed under Blige's Matriarch Entertainment label and very fittingly, they were introduced after her performance of  "No More Drama". 

For Blige, the girls are her little Mary’s; "they each remind me of myself at different points in my life” she says

Here are some of Just'Us' songs that are sure to give you the nostalgia vibe of the 90s R&B scene:

DSPC 2012: The Aftermath

The Division Schools Press Conference or the DSPC last October 29-31 was a really awesome experience for me. This year's DSPC is the first one I've joined and our school won in most categories. Our school was also third in the over-all awards. I won third place in my category which is Feature Writing. So yeah, the top 7 winners get to go to the RSPC in Bayugan City which is going to be on the last week of November. 

Anyways, here are some pictures coming from the awarding ceremonies:

Because some of us were already getting nervous over the results of the contest, pinadaan nalang namin sa pag-vain ang kaba namin. My classmate's the one who's holding the iPad for the picture, by the way.

Us with the trophy that our school won for the Best Radio Presentation category.

The fruit of my hard work and dedication. Those three days were really worth it. Not boasting, though.

Those three days have been memorable and amazing and though my sembreak was cut short because of it, joining the contest was worth it and I don't regret joining it. 

'Till the next post! :)
