Inxs Man, I just LOVE this! i love the rockista vibe of the show, the funky outfits, the contestants’ attitudes, their talent, the song selections, Dave Navarro.. hehe. I also love that one of the contestants is Pinoy! —

Meet Mig

There’s just sumthin about his vibe that’s so astig! When he sang Aerosmith’s "Walk This Way", i was like, whoa galeng! He’s not much of a looker, but he definitely owns the stage. See more of Mig on RockStar INXS [Wed & Thu 9pm Starworld]

T.G.I.F.!

Bowling FRIDAY Went bowling  with my officemates (oh yezz, bonding session to the max!), kahit na supah dupah kulelat ako at this sport (papagawaan na nga ako ni Argee ng special lane, yung may gutter sa gitna =p), sige go pa din.. bring it on! hehehe.. this night has been super saya, even if the joke’s on me.. (tama ba namang final score ko eh 30? Aatakihin na sila sa puso kakaturo sakin kung pano mag bowling) After three hours of knocking down pins (or at least trying to) we ate a big dinner at Yoshinoya.. Haha, naging useless yung bowling workout kasi lumafang kami ng todo.. Heehee =D

Pero honestly, i’ve been enjoying myself already (finally?) at work.. Parang somehow, i’ve already "bonded" with people.. no more overly pabibo kiddo here.. more like the old me, the jnj me.. kinda daldal, kinda gulo and kinda joker (impernes, bumebenta ang jokes ko dun!). Nice feeling. =)

Flavaliciousresized Have u tried these crazy Close-up toothpaste flavors? i heard about it just this afternoon kasi pinaguusapan sa CR.. of course, being the try-it-all that i am, i bought all three flavors.. i even thought of brushing my teeth three times para lang matikman lahat but i realized exag na yun davah? so i tried the sanest  of all flavors - Choco Loco. Yummy yummy yummy! Fave combo ko pa naman ang choco and mint, so it’s just toothbrushing heaven for me.. hehe..tomorrow, am gonna try Tangerine Burst and Luscious Lychee..

i’m baaaack!

tapos na ang hibernation ko.. people were actually texting me to ask if i was ok kasi antagal na ng last log-in ko sa friendster.. (haha. yun lang pala ang kelangan gawin para mag text kayo! hmp!) at wow! andami na palang bago sa friendster.. i’ve been living under a rock.. tsktsk..  anyhoo.. (teneng-teneng-teneng-teneng….)

Hp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HARRY POTTER and the HALF-BLOOD PRINCE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ish July 16, Saturday.. my alarm went off at 6:00am.. mad dash to the bathroom to shower and make mumug (and toothbrush).. olympic speed in getting dressed.. chugged a glass of Nesvita for breakfast.. and made a marathonic commute to Powerbooks Megamall.. All the while hoping to be the first person to get her hands on the new Harry Potter book.. BUT NO! a hundred people also had the same thing in mind.. potek! ang haba na ng pila when i got there at around 6:45 am.. buti nalang cute yung nasa harapan ko ("Uhmm, excuse me, is this the line for Harry Potter?").. Powebooks opened at exactly 7:01 am and we were welcomed by people dressed in wizard costumes.. ang tyut!! Then, the infamous opening theme of the HP movie was playing at Tower Records and the film showing started too! And then, right in the middle of it all are two enormous piles of HP 6 books! My gosh, the feeling of finally getting your hands on that book was so… magical! Para ngang nagningilid ang tears of joy ko! ahihi.. after people paid for their books, everyone was treated to a steaming cup of free coffee.. never had Nescafe tasted this good! ahehe.. after that, i went home because kating-kati na ko to start reading.. i opened my copy and before i realized it, it was already 6pm.. (time to put down HP and get ready for dinner out with berks) got home at around 3am.. OA naman kung magbabasa pa din ako eh i cant even walk straight *wink*.. so i resumed my addictive reading the next day and finished the book at 9pm on Sunday..

GRABE! This is probably the richest, most emotional and best-written in all 6 books!

– it’s full of answers to a lot of things
– a lot of emotions coming from the characters
– Harry, Ron and Hermione’s all grown up.. and are falling in luuuv.. hihihi..
– dark times for Muggles..
– bad Draco.. bad Draco.. but i pity him despite everything
– new magic tricks.. new characters.. new thingies..
– made me miss Sirius..
– still a lot of questions..
– the unexpected half-blood prince.
– sad sad sad ending… :’(

Basta. you HAVE to read this.. JK Rowling is like, really talented! Super saludo ako sa imagination nya.. She could make you want to believe that Harry’s magical world exists.. Like, you actually want to live in that world.. That’s how great she writes. It’s sad kasi i think yung next, Book 7 is the last in the HP series..  Sad feeling, kinda like what i felt when i watched Return of the King, knowing na wala nang kasunod..

But who knows.. anything’s possible with magic. ;)

~~ more to come.. =)

CableTV at 3am atbp…

Cable TV at 3am

for some weird reason i suddenly woke up at 3 am yesterday morning.. dunno why, i wasn’t dreaming or anything.. i just suddenly woke up.. anyhoo, i turned on the tv since i couldn’t get back to sleep and i got curious with the shows on the foreign channels (segue lang, kaasar yang Home cable kasi they had a channel line up shuffle because of the merge with Skycable.. kainis! i’ve like, already memorized the sequence of the channels and something like this happens?! tsktsk… nasisira ang channel surfing rhythm ko neto eh.. there are channels pa na "langaw" lang makikita kasi they’re exclusive to Sky but still included Home’s programming. Bwisit.)

back to my story, in my 3am wide-eyed channel surfing session, i got to watch –

1.> Arirang - hahaha.. funny koreans.. kahit subtitled, patawa pa din yung punchlines nila..

2.> Saudia channel - San ka pa makakita ng lampas 5 minutes opening credits ng telenovela? i was waiting for the opening scene, kaya lang walang katapusan yung opening credits kaya tinamad nako..

3.> Bumbay music video - hahaha.. ’nuff said (lest i be accused of racism.)

4.> Disney Mandarin - fluent pala si Donald duck mag-chinese! ang galing!

5.> Bumbay Telenovela  (i just can’t get enough of ‘em!) - this time, walang subtitles.. and if there’s Taglish in our telenovelas, there’s Hinglish in theirs.. hehe..

Woman in church

There’s this woman in church na sobrang daldal. nakakainis. in the middle of the homily she’d start a conversation with my mom & me (we know her, and we try to sit as far away from her as possible — "AY, anak, dun tayo sa mejo banda dun umupo, malayo kay ____" Ahahaha, mean girl din ang nanay ko)

I’m officially missing you

it’s been a month since my favorite family members migrated to Canada.. it’s hard pa din to accept, and i admit, i still cry myself to sleep sometimes, especially when i think of Cheyenne.. grabe talaga naging effect sa amin nung batang yun.. sobrang every little thing in our house reminds us of her.. i miss my Tita so much din kasi she’s like, the older sister i’ve never had.. for a month now, i’ve been busying myself with work (in fairness, gabundok talaga ang paperwork ko) just so i wouldn’t spend time at home and feel sad everytime i think of them.. at least at work, hindi ko sila madalas maisip.. but i’m happy na rin kasi they’re starting their new lives there.. my Tito got an Engineering stint at Kraft (ahem.. pa-pass naman ng resume) and they’ve moved out of the small room they rented for a while and was able to get a bigger apartment already.. Cheyenne finally weaned from Formula milk (which is expensive) and now likes Fresh milk.. the downside is that she’s chugging down almost 2 liters a day! ahahaha… i can just imagine her saying "Mama, M I L K !" in her you-better-give-me-what-i-want voice..

damn.. i’m missing them again… =(

Angels & Demons (Dan Brown)

It was not as exciting as the Da Vinci Code.. i mean, i actually slept through the first few chapters coz sobrang technical yung narration (quarks and neutron and whatevs…) but at least, as soon as natapos yung part na yun, Da Vinci Code-ish na ulit yung flow ng story.. in the end, i liked it na rin.. and yup, the angels won..

Post-partum bull$#^%

There’s this girl in the office who was supposedly my friend, but has been totally ignoring me since Monday last week.. her reason (which i learned of courtesy of an "insider")? Post-partum depression daw. Wow, ish like the lamest excuse ever created.. Haller naman. October last year pa sya nanganak, and besides she’s such a chirpy girl in front of others, but when it somes to Joy (my other friend) and me, she’s a totally grumpy, grouchy and cold bitch. Hay nako, whatever. Bahala ka kung ayaw mo mamansin. =p Sana pumangit ka lalo.. at tubuan ka ng kulugo sa dila.. Hmph!

Perfect ending to a rainy day

After a long, dark, cold rainy day, nothing makes me feel better than the warm fuzzy feeling of…

buti nalang i wore a cute outfit today!

*giddy girl*
