'90s

To be stuck in time, I'd pick the '90s era. Not because of its anti-fashion culture but because I was a kid then, free from any polluted idea and full of overwhelming innocence. 



HOT BOD for the summer! sorry, poor resolution. 

I loved being a kid. I wish any time traveling machine could bring me to that period in my life when I was just playing with my Sailormoon toys, Polly Pockets, Barbie dolls and kitchen sets. When I first entered school and immediately bonded with my wonderful classmates, sharing opinions on the very shallow thoughts on earth like what my favorite color is or "Who's your best friend?" conversations. Do you remember? By late '90s I began listening to Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and 'Nsync and was singing Tearin' Up My Heart in front of the TV and let's not forget Hanson's yummy MMMBop. (tick a ta ba do ba.. or something like that)

And yes, I loved TV as much as I do now. I watched All That, with segments of Goodburger and Dear Ashley as my favorites. Kenan & Kel was also a favorite and I clearly remember Kel's love for orange soda. Do you remember Summer Sanders? And the bunch of kids on Figure it Out and Global Guts? I remember we used to play Global Guts on Old School Nintendo and boy was I eager. Obviously, I lived and breathed Nick shows. But yea, I also became a fan of The Jetsons and The Flinstones (when they aired on Cartoon Network). The early times when I slept late were watching repeats of football head Hey Arnold and Aaaah! Real Monsters. 

I loved a lot of things then. The only thing I hated were mom jeans. 


But other than that, I love the '90s!

What else do you remember?

Holy Kamote

I didn't watch Bb. Pilipinas on TV but I saw the video on YouTube.


I want to let it pass, without me giving any comment but I just can't. If I were her, I would've answered the question in Filipino if I know within myself that I am not comfortable speaking in English. If she only stayed true to herself she could've done better. The problem is, Filipinos think the only way they could get respect from other people is by speaking in English. (Guilty of this when I was in the Phil) In her case, instead of looking brilliant, it went stupid. She might end up reading this and would bawl in tears with all the negative talks about her but anyway, let's just wish her luck.

On other news...

One Tree Hill is on its 100th episode next week. I can't wait to see it. If you aren't updated, scroll down and look for the OTH widget on the sidebar. --------->

It's updated with the latest episodes and I am completely in love again with the series. I loved tonight's episode. I thought it was really good. Actually, I fall in love every time I watch it which makes me even more frustrated with my life. LoL.

Spoilers:
Dan got his parole. Remember Brooke's old boyfriend Chace? He was on this episode. Bevyn was also here and we find out she got married to Tim and named their son Nathan. By the end of the episode, Haley calls Lucas to tell him he shouldn't marry Lindsey. And oh, Owen is my new favorite.

And still on other TV news, here are my top bets for American Idol's Seventh Season:













Carly Smithson for the girls and David Cook for the guys. He's the next Chris Daughtry. I know, I love David Archuleta too, my mom is rooting for him but it gets too much sometimes.

And on my news, I was confronted with a really awkward situation this morning. Dang, he seemed like he's in his late '20s.

"You think they'll open this door too right?"

I answered with a passive "I'm not sure" and rushed. If only he was Mr. Cutie I would have said, "I love you for talking to me!!" Ha ha ha.

NY Giants upset Patriots in Super Bowl Action

It's the first time I ever watched a Super Bowl game and I became a fan in an instant. I learned about the game through reading the papers since I do it everyday so as not to be embarrassed in front of my professor and voila, Football is looove. It was a really sweet victory for the NY Giants, the underdogs, upsetting the Patriots with a 17-14 come from behind win. The last minutes were intense I couldn't move an inch in my couch along with my parents and my bro in the background, equally nervous. Such a nice way to spend my lazy Sunday evening instead of sticking with my lappy to finish heaps of homeworks. Ha ha ha.

More stories in AOL Sports.

Anyway watch my favorite Superbowl ad:

Winter Tales

American Eagle Outfitters teamed up with some celebrities including Milo Ventimiglia, Pete Wentz and the others to come up with a few short films for the holiday season. I find them all funny and I particularly love "Gifts" narrated by Kristen. I love Kristen Bell's voice as the gossip girl of CW's Gossip Girl. And here's another video where she does the narrating again. I think her voice is lovely.

Watch the other Winter Tales here.

Anyway, I think I need to go on a diet.

Happy Holidaaaays

It is really becoming more like Christmas and I'm excited about it. The temperature continues to drop and all the commercials on TV have Christmas-y themes. It's that time of the year again when people get extra nicer and happier. I love it. Christmas is my favorite holiday. =)

Although I wasn't brought up with the Western kind of Christmas, I now feel the kid-like excitement putting up Christmas decors, setting up the Christmas tree, naming the stockings over the fireplace and pretend like Santa's gonna give me something. Forgive me, it's my first Christmas in the States and nothing's more like it. Maybe the only thing lacking is my holiday habit of shopping for my friends. I love it when I pick gifts for my friends. And I'm gonna be missing all the Christmas parties set for the holidays. ='( Just keep me posted, guys.

Anyway, aside from a Macbook as my top wish this season, I want to celebrate a night in the famous Rockefeller Center where a giant Christmas tree now stands. They just launched it awhile ago and I saw it on TV. I want to make a wish under that giant tree and skate in the rink while snow is falling. Wee. Don't steal my Christmas please.

I'm sorry I just felt like writing. I just wanted to do something before I sleep.

Hey! I remember, I heard rumors about the Writers Strike almost settled-- well not completely but I heard they're planning to have some arrangements or something soon. Well I'm not sure. It's been a month now and I'm just keeping my fingers closed. This Writers Strike rushed the ending of Heroes. Imagine- there's only an episode left which promises a death of not one, but TWO heroes. And the season's over, that quick. After all the sucky and slow paced start of the season. I want more Milo, more Hayden and not more of useless Maya and Alejandro. Sorry, I just hate that I've waited for this second season and it just happened like that. On another note, I am equally excited for One Tree Hill's fifth season ALTHOUGH they have only taped 14 episodes for now because again of the strike. And don't tell me PB's gonna suffer too. Oh please, give it to the writers. They deserve it anyway.

And in case you get bored, strengthen your Guitar Hero skills because someone's getting a little addicted. (Grab the latest from Guitar Hero: Legends of Rock)

XOXO.

Prison Break Midseason Review

I remember the time when I was asking my friends to lend me their DVDs so I could watch them all during free hours. I had a lot of those last school year when my subjects weren’t that much complicated but that time I actually thought they were but anyway, I borrowed movies, TV shows just to keep me well entertained in my dorm when I had to get home early. In case you didn’t know, that time, my only means of entertainment came in the form of my lappytop. No TV, my first love.

The thing that struck me most out of the numerous DVDs from Metrowalk and friends was the heart-pounding, nerve wracking Prison Break. From then on, it has become my beloved most favored series. I fell in love with the show the first time I watched it. I got addicted that I’d stay up until 4am just to watch the episodes despite the next day’s early class. I didn’t care. I cared most if they could really break out and I loved seeing Scofield’s eyebrows whenever he has to think of a gameplan. Very, very, addicting.

And now that it’s in its third season, I am still here.

Warning: Read at your own risk. Spoilers ahead!

Actually, I was disappointed in its last episode when Susan tried her own plan for Whistler’s escape. She could have done it before when Scofield wasn’t in SONA yet. Ha ha. The plot is getting more and more complicated I guess. I don’t know if they will still hold a fourth season. The two breaking out attempts triggered the SONA officials and charged it to Scofield which led to his isolation in the middle of the field around SONA. I just didn’t like the double failed attempts which I think slowed down the series a bit. But anyhow, let’s hang in there as we try to think how on earth will Scofield get out of prison now that all eyes are on him? [He is literally in a cage in last episode’s preview.]

Burrow and Scofield’s last talk made me aww also cause I felt for Michael when Linc didn’t tell him about Sara’s death. Oh yeah, I cried for the death of their love. Sad! I hate The Company and Whistler for taking Sara’s life. And now I have to wait until effin’ January 14 for a new episode. I am crossing my fingers and hoping the series will pick up its trash and give us more action in the coming episodes. So far, I give it 8.9 for the first half of the season.

Season 1 remains my favorite but Season 3 is hopefully catching up.
