You know you love me

OKAAAAY GOSSIP GIRL IS SOOO NEAR. Season 2 starts September 1 in the States, so we are all gonna witness it September 2. OMG. At least there's something that can keep me distracted until January 8. hahaha



I have seen the photos of the rumored LOCAL VERSION OF GOSSIP GIRL brought to us by ABS-CBN. I don't really buy it. haha I'd much rather want Carla Humphries as Blair. Wala lang, top of mind choice ko lang. haha

CAMERA CAFE. Have you ever seen this show in GMA? It is soooo funny, I love it! I have learned it started in France in September 11, 2001 (yup, same day as the WTC bombing). Anyway, here's an episode.



Here's another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1qniuUPQpw&feature=related

There's more on youtube. haha

Break

Two days ago I almost killed my father's car by trying to drive it with the hand brake on. I REALIZED THAT HOURS AFTER I STRUGGLED PUTTING THE CAR BACK INTO THE GARAGE. After telling Raisia and Farrah (on separate occasions) about what I did, they both 'scolded' me on forgetting the hand break. 'MASISIRA KOTSE MO!' hahahaha sorry naman.

So to make up for my boo-boo, I worked on the car again today. HAHAHA I have finally proven to myself that I did not forget my skill in driving. I still know. And from this day onwards, I will never forget to release the hand brake again. ;)

Enough about that. I decided to explore the website I learned from Claude. Here are some of the cool stuff I found. Some things I'd want to have in my dream house.

This one will be a separate area from the house. It's what I call the gimmick room where my friends (and my future children's barkada, haha) can hang out to chill.

And this one will be the modern library. I haven't really decided if I want a modern or 'scholarly' library. But this one reminds me of Edward's room. HAHAHA That must be why I like this.

I am so excited for the future. But I am enjoying the little time I have left in college. I hate feasib but pretty soon we have to get started. Just the mere thought of it tires me. But this is inevitable. FEASIB IS LIKE THE RESULT OF FOUR YEARS IN SPONGE-LIKE ABSORPTION OF KNOWLEDGE.

On other things, last night we went to the mega practice of the batch for BACBACAN. It was sooo fun in school! Everyone is so eager to be part of the event, the BACBACAN spirit is sooo evident in each one in the college. At DAR, those with no sports (read as: 'kami', haha) were left to be spotters, jokers and 'pagpa-practice-an' ng players. hahaha I totally enjoyed the 'JOKE TIME' of the group. We call ourselves "The Extras". Mind you, nakakapagod maging all-around extra. hahaha Midway I had a craving for Coke so Raisia gladly accompanied me to find one. We ended up walking to Philcoa Mercury Drug. Nakakatakot maglakad dun, exaaage. It was rewarding nonetheless. The smiles of the batchmates when we offered them a cup of coke was enough to make me happy. hehehe

Tomorrow is the final ultimate practice of the batch. FOR THE WIN SENIORS!!! RED between the lines.

Another Goodbye Song

Finally found a clip of the senti song I love. They didn't sing it exceptionally well here but more or less it gives you an idea of the song. (And for those of you who know me well, you'll know why I like it.)

Another Goodbye Song- Composed by Maestro Ryan Cayabyab

Tsk tsk

I was craving for crepes after I finished my grocery today. I headed to French Baker and ordered their Ham and Cheese crepe. The lady at the counter asked me to wait. "Ma'am, ask ko lang po kung available." After a few minutes she came back and punched my order on the register and reminded me that serving time will be 15 minutes. HELL NO. IT WAS THE LONGEST 15 MINUTES I HAD TO WAIT. The mother and daughter tandem who was behind me in the line has already finished eating their pasta while I wait for my crepe. Since French Baker's kitchen is visible, I saw what was happening. The manager, the two cooks and the lady in the cash register were all huddled around the crepe plate. The manager was doing it, while the two guys (cooks) hovered to learn how it's done. I BET WALANG UMOORDER NG CREPE SA SM FAIRVIEW. AYAN TULOY, FIRST TIME NILA.

After 30 minutes, my crepe arrived and it was nothing like the one on the menu. SALTY crepe with confectioner's sugar and cinnamon? WTF! Plus! Drizzled with cheese spread and dried herbs? I began eating anyway and somewhere in my mind, I asked 'asan yung ham?' Lo and behold the ham was rolled in the middle of the big crepe. Hay naku basta ako nainis talaga. Not worth my 105 bucks. nakakaloka. Maybe sa ibang branches it's much better. NEXT TIME WAG NIYONG GAWIN EXPERIMENT PAGKAIN KO.

p.s.
In the menu, the crepe is supposed to be square, with cuts of ham and grated cheese drizzled in the middle. No cinnamon, no confectioner's sugar, no cheese spread.

My weekend sked

Last night I bought my Dulce de Leche from Red Ribbon. YEY! I also spent the rest of the night finishing Eclipse. That's part of my new self imposed rule- No school related activity on a Friday night unless it's super urgent. Anyhooo, I am so happy to have finished all three books in a month. I am so excited to read Breaking Dawn. Powerbooks in Greenbelt is holding a pre-launch party for Breaking Dawn. EXAGE.

I slept the whole morning today like I always do on weekends. It feels so good to wake up just when you feel like waking up. I was productive too. Was able to do my laundry, (sort of) fix my room, and do some HR work for ABAM. Hayay, so much to do.

Tomorrow I shall study Global Marketing, retype notes, fix org documents, and watch TV. Ugh, which reminds me we still have a case for Global Marketing. Plus the logo and tagline for our new category in 172- the Walis category. This one I'm so excited to report on. HAHA I also can't wait for our group to report in 177 (Brand Management). I am really proud of our teamwork. We really try to get to know the brand to a point that we incorporate it in our daily lives. We're working kasi on Head and Shoulders. So as the Brand team for H&S, we really use it, interview people about it and go to the supermarket to observe the buying behavior of people toward the brand and its competitors.

I am currently still crazy about Twilight. I cannot wait for (ugh) January 8 for the premier. I still hate it though- that the whole world will see it on December 12 and we Filipinos will have to wait for another month before we can see it. Tapos hello, paasa pa. I read on the internet that the Twilight trailer will be shown for the Dark Knight movie. WALA KAYA! But howell papel, it's on YouTube naman so what the hell.

Yearbook write-up submission will be until September 19. I decided Fa and Dianne to co-write for me. And I won't edit it. (I am part of the Literary team which means we're editing write-ups. I'll have mine edited by Raish or Dianne.) Which means I'll be able to read it only after it has been published already.

Aaand! Today I discovered the blog of Raisia's cousin. Reading her blog reminds me of myself and my blogging style. THE CATCH? She's just eleven. Darn.
