Guess I'm Pinoy Afterall

I just found out that I love being a Filipino (hehehe). I am Joan who would bet on PacMan’s opponent rather than him. I am Joan who would rather watch foreign movies instead of some crappy & jologs Pinoy film. I am Joan who’ll eat a lot of international cuisine & would rave for hours about this & that dish which is not Filipino. Sad to say but I am really not very patriotic & devoted to the Philippines.

I remembered mentioning before that I am just a boarder of this country. With all the scam & controversy in all aspect of this country (government, showbiz & even lives of people I know & are non-celebs) I really don’t want to be called a Filipino but behold, I felt bad that Marc & Rovilson didn’t win TARA2 even though my bet was really Adrian & Colin. When Marc & Rovilson ran towards the final pit stop holding the Philippine flag I felt proud.

I guess deep inside me I am still a loyal & very proud to be Pinoy that I don’t want to leave the country even though I’ve been urged to go abroad, read Kuya Berns – don’t feel bad I still would want to go to FL. And yes oh yes, I want Ramiele Malubay to win AI7.

Now, congratulations boys (Magnum PI team), and as Allan said your team is overall the best team, no team ever accomplished the success (& prizes) you both received.

Yey to Adrian & Colin!!!

I felt sad that TARA2 is now over – no more Thursday nights to look forward to. I just hope AI7 can give me the same excitement & anticipation I felt for TARA2.

Good thing I discovered KBS at least my nights will never be lonely, for now.

Oh life, how am I supposed to live without my TV (& cable although there are times I get mad when nothing good is on)?

I’ll be half dead that’s for sure.

Happy weekend everybody & I hope you all had a nice vday (I can’t even write the whole word – I get sick & bitter hehehe).

And lastly for the record, I am proud to be Pinoy - a recent self-discovery I must admit but not just because of what I see on TV (ayan lumalabas talaga pagkashallow ko no matter what). Yes I am a proud Pinoy. Let's all go to Makati for the rally (hahaha I am just kidding).

God bless the Philippines!!!

The Unfortunate

For no apparent reason you can’t sleep at night.

There’s nothing good on TV, you’ve used up all your DVD resources and you’re not in the mood for those still unwatched.

You read a little then you don’t want to continue, the story is just boring you. You switch to another book, it’s not working either.

It’s already 2 am… you turn the laptop on tried going online, no one is available to talk to.

You tried texting the BFF, no reply perhaps because she’s already asleep or on night shift.

You get up, walk outside the room and open the fridge. Water or milk? You took a sip from the milk carton (hehehe), went back inside the room switch the TV on again and browse through channels hoping that in the last 30 minutes something worth watching might be on. This one of those moments when you feel that you’re just wasting your money paying the cable company. There’s still nothing good on.

And then you suddenly feel very tired. You feel sleepy, hooray! You feel so happy you’re now beginning to doze off. You’re now half conscious and smiling.

Then after like 30 minutes you heard a loud sound… the alarm clock is now blaring. Time to get up, what?!?!

That’s my life.

I'm

...dead!

I just found out this morning that Ben or the wifey could be reading this tabloid. I don’t visit my page hits summary since forever and when I finally did this morning, I was shocked to find their company IP listed on the summary. And guess what, the IP was a frequent visitor.

Ben, if you’re reading this hehehe hello to you! I know you know you’re Ben (nga ba?). If it’s not you or the wifey… hmmm who could it be?

I’ll behave from now on. But wait, why should I? I didn’t do anything wrong, di ba?

So guys, read on & enjoy ;) hehehe.

27 Dresses

Succeeded in doing its primary objective: to entertain the viewers

Those who loves Katherine Heigl would need not worry about what will be the outcome of this movie for her, and to those James Marsden fanatics (like me who’s a new convert – add Enchanted to the bill) will love him even more.

I personally love the end credits - it's very creative & funny.

I am chick flick sucker that is why this movie made me want to wish for my own cynical, impossible, unbeliever of marriage creep because later on (& because he met me) he’ll be transformed into this perfect groom meant only for me.

I already have 4 dresses in my closet, 2 more will be added this year… 21 more to go?

I hope not ;)

PS: I am not that happy, I am still depressed over the fact Heath is now a was.

Goodbye my Boys

He’s a cute boy with a lovely future – he acts really well. A wonder boy, a talented child star. He died at the age of 25 – possible reason was drug abuse & excessive alcohol intake.

He’s a promising Aussie bloke, loved by a lot in his brilliant Patrick performance opposite Julia in the adaptation of Shakespeare’s Taming the Shrew. He was blessed with a baby girl in 2006. What can go wrong, he’s just 28? Is it suicide?

They’re young and with bright futures yet they’re troubled and very tired of life.

May you both rest in peace Brad & Heath.

Cupcake Wisdom

You cannot sit around like a cupcake asking other people to come and eat you up and discover your great sweetness and charm. You’ve got to make yourself more cupcakable all the time so that you’re a better cupcake to be gobbled up.

Nice way of putting "self-help" in a sentence.
