College Life, oh my college life...

...yan ay napaka saya...

Okay, stop singing...but it is a good song! I forgot who sang it , the whole lyrics, and the title of the song, but I like it!

Anyways, today is a day well-spend..I miss all of my friends, especially those who you always see and talk to in college then after that you haven't seen them for awhile! Totally something 'missable' haha...I saw harvey, sheldon, loraine, jr, aaron, erin, jayme, joah, brando, schubert, jake, certino, tosky, dennis, leslie, franco, dax, xavier, justin, zai, john, whole lot more! I thought I would never see people that I would be familiar with again, but then....it was really so nice! then ate with jodie, pam, and rose...Too too nice! Very interesting I couldnt help but just feel cloud 9!!

College definitely is one of the best years of my life...I'll surely miss it....

Wallace Huo

with his new album really topping the charts, his warm voice, his noticeably handsome looks...totally something to watch out for! He might even be the Edison Chen of Taiwan...I've download almost all of his songs and heard it and kept on hearing it..it surely is something not to be miss..

Oh, I hope when he returns I could see him...I didn't saw him the last time he went here...what a huge MISS on my part..I envy Pamela for having that chance...

Don't worry the next time you come back, I'll be waiting for you!

Obituaries

It seems that in some part of the world, this are written so seriously and is the course of life...hum...


I hope that next week's Amazing Race (finale) would remove Adam and Rebecca, I really really don't like them...they irritates me so much...for the rest or other three teams, I AM ROUTING FOR YOU GUYS!

China is so great and looks good...don't forget to watch Destination Week on Discovery Travel and Living next week, from Feb 7 to 11 around 9 pm...China is the featured country...and why won't it be? It has progress and became one of the hottest tourist destination...I miss China...I hope I could go back there someday...

SAW

Oh my gawd! Totally got a 10/10 in my scale...it is definitely a MUST-SEE movie, if you can't handle 'gruesome' movies then I suggest be ready for a bucket (some parts are brutally gross) but you still have to watch it because it is just a must! I never seen a movie like this before...and by far, this is the movie of my choice...in my top list it would be number 1 because it kept me on my sit, it keeps me looking forward...it keeps me waiting for what is next...

*Oh, I am currently transferring some old files (archives) to another web journal because tabulas won't let you view it anymore...it's a bit of work, but I manage...

Two TV Networks...

As if the battling is not enough...

We've seen it all, we've experienced it as viewers...why won't networks just be true to themselves and not cut each others throat? (i'm not going to name particular tv networks because I believe alot of them are doing it...)

First ...hum..network claiming they are Number One , my source says it is not true. Both networks do change survey results just to let viewers know they are number one. What a shame! and what a conspiracy...

Second...copycats...duh! Each one saying the others is copying them...AS IF! Everyone did copy one another in others ways...maybe not just at the same time or recently, but all of them did COPY each other one time or another...they couldn't hide it, we viewers are aware of it. So what I want to say to them...STOP SAYING THAT THE OTHER CHANNEL IS A COPY CAT. Please first look at the shows that you DID copy in that other network before telling the others that they are copycats..remember more fingers are pointing back at you!

Third...Loyalty/Pirated...we've seen stars being well-welcomed in other networks when they are pirated by them. Duh! Isn't it obvious..one should treat a new comer from the other network with such respect and kindness or else that network would just be a selfish bitchin' one...Plus you pirate somehow because you like what they bring to viewers, so of course, it is no doubt that you become mushy over them...oh, but when they go back to their mother network they would always say --"this is really where i belong" -- cut the crap!!


For networks..i think they should stop bugging other networks and just concentrate on theirs...no matter how harsh they throw at the others, it will always come back on them..plus, it is reality that the fighting won't end until both or one of them seize to exist..until then, we viewers will enjoy the WARS of the networks!!

Sometimes You'll Just Know

It was a good day that turned ugly that turned good...

Ugh...I went to 2 malls today expecting to buy something...but ending up only buying a pair of earrings (but it was worth it!) I love the earrings I bought although it is a bit pricey..but hey, the price you pay for vanity in life...

Tomorrow I'm going for another test and interview? Hum...do you know how long it will take? ekk!! 8:30 am til 5 pm! talk about being tired and haggard tomorrow! And if i didn't pass...oh my gawd...walk of shame will overcome my existence tomorrow...so wish me luck!

What does marketing meant..

You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to
him and say, "I'm fantastic in bed."
- That's Direct Marketing.

You're at a party with a bunch of friends and see a
handsome guy. One of your friends goes up to him
and pointing at you says, "She's fantastic in bed."
- That's Advertising.

You see a handsome guy at a party. You go up to
him and get his telephone number. The next day
you call and say, "Hi, I'm fantastic in bed."
- That's Telemarketing.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. You
get up and straighten your dress. You walk up to
him and pour him a drink. You say, "May I," and
reach up to straighten his tie brushing yourself
slightly against his arm, and then say, "By the
way, I'm fantastic in bed."
- That's Public Relations.

You're at a party and see a handsome guy. He
walks up to you and says, "I hear you're fantastic

Your friend can't satisfy him so he calls you.

You're on your way to a party when you realize that
there could be handsome men in all these houses
you're passing. So you climb onto the roof of one
situated toward the center and shout at the top of
your lungs, "I'm fantastic in bed!"
- That's Spam

So tired...

Really am not the mood to post...but my friend might as well consider be dead if I didn't post..

Life has really been hectic, interviews where everywhere but still -- NO JOB! haha...it is just so funnny, how much I've already wasted, yet I was not earning anything...damn..

Bought new contact lenses from J & J ...

Well, I'm kinda tired right now so..

oh, I've seen (eww talaga but hey!) Dreamboy haha...it was one of the nonsense movie I've seen, it didn't touch me one bit. I hate Piolo Pascual (no offense to those who adores him) I was really planning on watching Let The Love Begin, but we need to wait fro my sis, and I was with my mom and my aunt's so that was what we went for....

Is 'ringo' that next friendster?

Oh..enough...my eyes are too sleepy.......

Went out with the girls, miss them so much, although 3 wasn't able to come -- too bad! They miss out half of their life...haha....Then stayed at Elaine's house.

Here is a group pic of the five of us who where present!



Full of yellow baby! Here are our wacky pictures when the three of us are left behind..



There is so much more, pictures that totally blew us out! We are so picture-aholic people...

ugh...If only I got DSL or cable, then the uploading would be faster...

My mom's kinda wacky these past few days...

why?

-- she kept on repeating watching "Stairway in Heaven" thank God my friend Elaine borrowed it already. She already seen it, 3 times!

-- she called me to order something nice for tonight. why? Because it is Valentines, my mom and my brothers and sisters will be celebrating it tonight! (my dad's playing badminton ) but it's okay, we got to EAT!!

Flinstones

meet the flinstones...

Oh...today is Valentine's day and alot of the television shows are all about 'love'..I've just finished watching I Do (but I dont) starring Denise Richards in Hallmark, it was a simple romantic movie, I love it because I've read the book that it came from, by Cara Lockwood, which was somehow altered, since the lead in the novel was a brunette and Denise was so golden. But the characters are all the same, same storyline (only a bit part was change)

Then I've seen The Flinstones it was very very funny and interesting..hum finally Pebbles got married...with whom? of course, BAMM BAMM! This is how the wedding goes...

Priest: do you take this woman as your wife?
Bamm Bamm : I Do.
Priest: do you take this man as your husband?
Pebbles: I ---YABBA- DABBA -DO!!
Priest: I now pronounce you caveman and wife!

haha....

Oh, before I forget...we live in a house that is kinda like townhouses...so I live in #8....then my mom called me out and my sister to tell us something, in the terrace of neighbor #6 where christmas lights that are lighted, plus a table..haha...the eldest son had prepared a dinner for two for him and his girlfriend...sweet right? How i wish someone would do that to me!! Yeah, right...keep on dreaming...

Bummer

And if life can get worst...count me in...

I feel so useless...but then, I think it is because I am also kinda lazy...but then...what the heck!

I'm not pursuing because I haven't been given the opportunity to a job that I would really really LOVE. Maybe when that time comes, I'll know...thank God nobody is forcing me or hurrying me up...it is just that I'm taking it one little step at a time.

Ugh...

I feel bored.

Although I quite sure, given my own car...I would probably be going out EVERYDAY...haha...what a path to start my so-called future career-- WASTE NOW and FOREVER BE IN DEBT!

Tscha! Life and Competition

Omg...the countdown begins in my life...

Yesterday was a day full of activities and FOOD! Yeah...even though it is just me and my friend Elaine, we were still chowing on lots of foods...

First stop -- El Pueblo where her cousins was enrolled in Little Gym they are so cute! One of them (the youngest) even looks like a korean in his hair, too bad I wasn't able to take a picture of them...they are TOO CUTE! I love them...I love kids and don't mind having them, well..in the right time of course!
As soon as we arrive at Shang-rila Mall, we ATE! haha...then look around, then EAT again..the cake was just too mouth-watering! I love it so so much..it is just too delicious! haha...I would want another piece of it!

Then met her aunt, shop forawhile...I bought underwears haha...then walk again...went to Timog to eat dinner at Satre it was a somewhat fine dining restaurant, they were so full of people, we forgot to reserve so we are put in the outside smoking area (no one is even smoking!) haha..but it was okay..the food was okay...I was so-so full!! The creme-brule was really good...the baby love it!! haha...

Then went to Greenbelt...hang-around, then ATE again...haha...two crepes! So yummy, I want to have more right now... *wishy-wishy*

Oh my, right now I'm just looking at The Buzz their reports against the other channel, and the anger they have on the other channel! Tscha! They are blaming the other channel when they also do it towards the other channel....I guess things will never be the same again! Philippines - -how will we ever be a one nation? If the television networks itself are fighting over each other???? Totally no hope for this country....Think people....


I HATE CHRISTY FERMIN (is the spelling even correct) eww..I hate her...just seeing her face and the moment she tries to OPEN her mouth.. ugh...I want to slap her face and shut her mouth! She just need to shut up because I think she is making a mistake...eww...

SPANGLISH

Spanglish starring Adam Sandler, Tea Leoni, Paz Vega


Meet another Mexican woman trying to enter the world of Hollywood. Again, seducing us with the beautiful angelic, innocent face (remember Penelope Cruz in her debut movie? the one wherein she is cooking food?) Okay, cleary she can act in the movie....plus the story is focus with her. I think they put the name of Adam Sandler just to make the movie sound and more publicize, but truly the story - I think, just supports Sandler...

The woman that is so kind, so adoring, so innocent, and so cultured shock! She doesn't know how to speak in English and didnt even bother on learning it, only when the movie is more than half-way did she started to appreciate and learn the importance of learning English language. Started working as a nanny in a very affluent English family, where she finds herself semi-attach to almost all of the members...note: also the husband (sandler) Oh, don't forget she has a 12-yr old beautiful daughter wherein much of the story also revolves...

Final Verdict: 4/5

FINAL CUT

The Final Cut starring Robin Williams, Mira Sorvino, and Jim Caviezel

To my amazement, this movie really has something to prove. The concept of the storyline is fresh and very different from other futuristic movies I've seen. Imagine your whole life being recorded in this chip and when you die (but the setting of the movie is still the ordinary one- no robots, no flying cars or whatsoever), people can see all of the things you've done. Of course, not everything , only those moments your love ones wanted to remember and see...and this is were the Cutters entered. They are the one who makes your whole life into a 2-hr episode which they call "Rememory" this is shown in your funeral, like a movie -- now showing -- the rememory of so and so... All in all, I love how the movie was conceptualized, because it is something new and fresh...the storyline itself is not that much appreciated by me, it is kind of "fast-cut" without a whole edge to guarantee viewers on the edge of their sit.

Robin Williams acting has proven to stick to one type and kind. Remember One-Hour Photo? Well, the acting there was somehow same as his acting in this movie. More on the serious side though...but really, at the end? you'll appreciate his acting and still praise him.

Mira Sorvino sadly was overshadowed by the story itself, I don't even consider her as one of the lead characters here in the movie, her acting was not really presented well in the movie...



Final Verdict: 4.5/5

HIDE AND SEEK

Hide and Seek starring Robert De Niro, Dakota Fanning

Mysterious, but somehow didn't kept me on the edge of my sit...it was a movie that I think I've guess even before the ending came...
De Niro's acting has always been superb and in this movie you'll see alot of different sides...Actually, I was more of Dakota's fan, she really has move me so much from almost all of her movie (Uptown girl, The Cat in the Hat, much more!)

But for those thrill-seekers like me, and if you like movies like - Birth, The Sign, Sixth Sense, The Village (wherein the movie will just keep you guessing on who-and-what is happening!) this is the right movie for you!

Final Verdict: 3.5/5 oh, 4/5 just because of Dakota!

SLEEPOVER

SLEEPOVER starring: Alexa Vega

Moveover Hilary and Lindsay...here comes another chick movie that is new and fresh...welcome on stage Miss Alexa Vega (spy kids movies)
And just because I love chick-lit books, here comes another chick-lit movie! Bound to once again open your teenage years...this movie is simply one the teen types that you'll surely be wanting to watch.

I love it.
My sister loves it.

If you are a person who expects deep and profound storyline? This is so not the movie for you..better check out other new movies, because this is purely fun and light!

Oohh...Check out the cute lead guy...yum-yum!

Final Verdict: 4.5/5 just because I love chick-lit

Jealousy

I don't know why I chose that topic to write my journal tonight...I mean, I'm not the type of person who get jealous or easily jealous by other people...I think I'm more jealous of what they did that I wish I also did...(um..huh? ) weird aye? But I guess that can be my middle name.

Weirdo Joanna -- or maybe Wacko!

Layout honestly, I'm getting blank...I want to make a summer layout because I don't think that after the week ends I would be able to..since I'm going to start working already.
Website I got lots of new stuff ready, but here comes my laziness to upload and fix them..darn me!

77th Annual Academy Awards

Oscar Day (*pictures are slowly added, as my internet is so damn slow!)

It was utterly full of people that are so A-important, and ultra-rich. Bring on the blings and the stones, and of course, the fashion dresses that will ultimately be hitting the shops (and be sold at a cheaper-imitated price)

The commercials in-between was fantastic...after all one of my all-time favorite fashion guru is Nicole Kidman, she looks AMAZING in her Chanel commercial, and that stunning black gown at the end of the commmercial? Breath-taking! I'm always in awe by how she carries everything, there was even one part in the commercial where she is wearing the guys' tux. She looks so sexy in that outfit (okay..stop, I'm not being a lesbian okay? but it is truly breath-taking)

Chris Rock rocks! His opening speech and bashing stars (even himself) and other movies are truly amazing and very interesting. No boring moment once he opens his mouth. And in contradiction that he can no way be Denzel Washington I have to agree, because Denzel is more on the dramatic, action type but Chris Rock is more on the comedic side of the movies. They are both actors worth paying and watching for. I don't think Denzel can make us laugh like Chris Rock.

Beyonce Knowles definitely struck me. Amazing voice, great talent, bravo performance, and definitely costly dresses! It was just glamorous, except the one where she (i think) over-do with the whole huge necklace...

The fashion is of course, no doubt, the talk of the world. With amazing dresses and coutures that are truly worth commenting for!

I definitely high-five Charlize Steron for wearing the feather, light blue dress. Not everyone would look good on it.

Next, the lady in red... Renee Zellwegger stunningly beautiful in that voluptuous gown. It was something only a nice looking body could fit in.


Renee's back


Zhang Shi Yi, is someone we could be proud of, both in acting and the taste for fashion. She looks exquitsite and delicate in her black semi-transparent gown, which just scream "Beautiful"

Another lady who did black was pretty woman, Julia Roberts , who look astounishing despite being somehow bigger than before (of course, she just gave birth so excuse her!) But she looks so complete and amazing!

My favorite color (yellow) did suit Miss Cate Blanchett I love the outfit! Although I think it would look nice in me? Don't you? -- Nah just kidding...


The fashion that I think somehow didn't make it in my cut for the evening:

Hilary Swank althoough winning the BEST ACTRESS award, didn't get my vote for the outfit, yes, it was fitting for her, but to hide that beautiful body (in-front) was I think, didn't do much justice to her, she was overshadowed by some of her fellow nominees.

Johnny Depp, very handsome (yes) but hello! He looks like someone who hasn't shaved or fix himself for days...I just wish he could just prepared for the night. It was one of the most important night after all..oh -- loose the (ugly looking) eyeglass...

Leonardo Di Caprio's hair was way aviator...fix the hair then he can be on my top list not here.

Of course the evening did not end unhappily..eveyone receive generous rewards, souvenirs. Just receiving those is an envy...haha

Oh my-my...look at what my mood is on!
