I'm Jenny?!?

Which Gossip Girl Are You?

My Result: Jenny

Super sweet, slightly shy, and always looking for the best in others, it's obvious that your Gossip Girl match is Jenny. Even though you may sometimes feel like the underdog in the crowd, you shouldn't. Tough and determined, you might not always succeed on the first try, but if there's one thing people know about you, it's that you never give up. Besides, who wants everything handed to her on a silver platter? Not you.

Even if you sometimes fall short of your goals, you never stop trying. And while you definitely set the bar a little high for yourself sometimes, we're pretty sure that you'll reach your dreams no matter what it takes. You probably don't realize how many people envy you, either. But think about it — who wouldn't?

What are you?

I can't be Jenny! If I'm Jenny, then it would be incest cos I like Dan.

A new obsession

I'm missing Gossip Girl. I have lost track of how many times I must've seen each episode in the absence of new ones since season 1 has concluded. And word is that season 2 will be on the fall of 2008 which is more or less 9 months away! Anyway, the good thing is I have the season 2 disc of Felicity which would serve as my diversion from missing GG too much.

Ahhh... Felicity. I loved season 1 and luckily, I was able to secure a copy of the second season. Felicity chopped her locks which was pretty tragic, at least for me. It was such a drastic change, I mean. And so it was also confirmed that Felicity went with Ben on that road trip home rather than with Noel. Stupid girl. If I were her, I'd totally go for Noel who is cute and intelligent. After choosing Ben over Noel, Ben suddenly decides she doesn't really like-like Felicity. And I thought when two people go into a relationship, it must be a pre-requisite that they love (or it would eventually lead to love). Hmm... things must be really different on the other side of the world. It's also obvious that Noel still has feelings for Felicity and Felicity may still have feelings for Noel, too. Gaga girl.

Ergo the question: With whom would you rather be, the one who loves you or the one you love? Ahorita, I'd say with the one who loves me but if I were in an actual situation, I wouldn't know. It is very easy to say that I'd choose someone who loves me. But what if I really love/like the other one? Like in Felicity's case, she liked Ben for years and he even was her reason for going all the way to New York and suddenly Ben comes and supposedly likes her, too? It is so much tempting to go for Ben. So tempting. But when they finally see you, of course you also think that they might really like you and not just because they know you like them and it would be convenient for them. For Felicity, Ben was a like a dream and suddenly her dream is coming true. If I will be in such a predicament, I wish I would choose The Noel over The Ben.

So enough with over-analyzing drama series.

Last night, we had a family dinner with relatives who just came home from their vacation in the States. Those kids... My nephew and my niece didn't really like the idea that they spent the holiday in the States. If it were me, I'd go in a heartbeat!

Asked about how the other cousins were like and my nephew said that they're drawn-back and guarded. Hmm... stiffies? And I thought people in the States know how to have a good time? He even said that this particular cousin was so guarded that he doesn't know what she's thinking that it's scary. And when she was here, I kinda got the same vibe from her. And looking back, that is actually pretty scary.

Movieeeeeeeeees!

I bought movies yesterday- A 24 in 1 DVD (Serendipity, While You Were Sleeping, Before Sunset, etc.), Juno, Sydney White and the 2nd season of Felicity (at last!).

I watched Sydney White last night. I like Amanda Bynes. She's really funny and she looks like a cabbage patch kid. Although sometimes I feel as if her roles in all her movies are somewhat similar. Out of all her movies that I've seen, my favorite still is She's the Man.

It's funny how instead of the seven dwarves, they have seven dorks. But the dorks there weren't totally nice dorks, they're actually scary and somewhat pervs. In the entire duration of the movie, I've never noticed any school official or authority which makes it a little unrealistic. It's a bit unreal to leave the school budget into the hands of the student council president, don't you think?

Due to my obsession over Gossip Girl, I am likewise obsessed over New York. Ergo I am in a search of movies set in New York and am planning to have a movie marathon. I've just watched Kate and Leopold, Maid in Manhattan, The Nanny Diaries, Serendipity, While You Were Sleeping and The Devil Wears Prada. Looking at what I just wrote, I just noticed they're all chick flicks. Hmm...

Another one...

Shocking news: Heath Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment today. Not that it's any of my business but the first thought that entered my mind was his baby (with Michelle Williams). At least he has left his legacies which are his daughter, who looks so much like him, and the movies he has made.

Cuteness, diba?
Pinag-biyak na bao...

I haven't really watched any of Heath Ledger's movies aside from 10 Things I Hate About You (which is included in my list of favorite movies) but I reckon he is a good actor. During his 10 Things days, he's not exactly what you would call cute and crushable, most especially when his hairline is receding. But I had a crush on his accent. And that time pa pala, I was so into Australia and everything Aussie.

Basta sayang... And I really feel sad for his daughter. I hope his death isn't drug-related because if it is, walang kwenta ang pagkamatay niya.

If it's broken, patay tayo d'yan

Hay nako! Sira pala ang wall clock namin sa kwarto. I think its batteries needed to be replaced. Anyway, the effy thing was... I was doing this label for the wedding on Saturday and I was taking my sweet time since it said on the clock that the time was 1:35 am. I mean, it's late but it's not late-late for me. I was planning on going to bed at 2 am tops since I have to wake up at 5 am. When I looked at the clock, it still is 1:35am and only then that I realized it is broken and it is already friggin' 3:07 am. Now I'll only have two hours worth of sleep, less even.
Entonces, baboo!

Rants Galore and Sunday, the dog

Kamusta naman na natalsikan ko ang mga mata ko ng fragrance oil? Mahapdi. Nakakainis. Pero okay lang dahil pagkatpos ko hilamusan ang mata ko ng tubig, okay na.

The abovementioned wasn't the most unfortunate that happened to me from the last time I posted an entry to this day. From a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most shitty, I'd give it a 4.

I'll start with the unfortunate events...

1st: High-blood ako ever when I overheard (chismosa kasi) my employees and their "sulotera" (na itago na lang natin sa pangalang Chongga) talking. This Chongga is teaching MY employees how to ask permission in a nice and respectful way to quit working for me and start working for her. I guess it's just normal that people look for better opportunities and higher pay and normally, I'd let them go when they want to resign. But not when they will transfer somewhere which is 2 frickin' stalls away from me! And mind you, we will be offering the same service. Stupid Chongga! Pagbaliktad-baliktarin mo man ang mundo, it is not okay. Stupid Chongga.

2nd: I went on a diet- South Beach diet, that is. But it was shortlived. RIP. But I'll proceed not eating rice and avoid foods high on sugar, including my all-time favorite, Coca-Cola. I'll see if it'll have the same effect as the South Beach diet. If it does have the same effect, Thank God because that means that I'll get thinner without feeding myself scrambled, hard-boiled or soft-boiled egg every frickin' day. But if it doesn't work, I'll try going on the diet again and stick with it (6 weeks lang naman eh).

3rd:The PC was acting up again. Nakakainis kasi I had a lot of things to do including a label for a wedding on the 26th which is on Saturday already and I can't do it because it was broken. But now, it's working already. But I don't know kung kelan uli susumpungin. Hopefully, hindi na and hopefully, it's fixed na forever! Also, if anyone out there is thinking of buying PCs from Accent Micro, I suggest DON'T! When my sister and I bought this PC from them 2 years ago, just a few days after it had a lot of problems already such as shutting down while you're in the middle of what you're doing and a video card which is all fungus-y (I still have no idea how that would happen). And when we brought the PC back to them for repair while it was still under warranty, I sensed irritation on their part. Back then, I thought: "Just a few days back you were all swarming around us when we were deciding on which to buy and now that we want something fixed, you act irked and irritated."

4th: I super miss Gossip Girl. Here's an interesting article about the series.

And now I'm done with ranting. I'll start raving naman.

We already have a dog. Temporarily. A rottweiler pup named Sunday. My sister gave her the name Sunday since she got it last Sunday. How imaginative. Haha! Pero keri na rin kasi if I were to give it a name, chorva ibibigay ko. Although I pet the dog and give it a bath, etc., I am still scared of her. I still fear that anytime it would bite me. I would love to have a dog but I prefer the smaller ones. Sunday's cute kasi maliit pa siya, baby pa. But when she becomes an adult dog, she'll be BIG and scary. Sayang kasi super malambing siya. And if she's as big as I am, I don't think I'd be comfortable petting her.

I said temporarily because on Sunday, my cousin will get her. We're not supposed to have dogs in the house since my sister's asthmatic and my daddy doesn't really want pets in the house. Maybe because we don't really take care of them and pets require a lot of attention. Lalo na aso. Kung guinea pigs pa lang, sablay na... what more sa aso? With guinea pigs, their poo-poos are small and clean-up is easy but with dogs... ayayay... dyan ako suko. Buti na lang andito si manang.. hehe.

And just last night, I realized that having a dog is a big responsibility. Last night, around midnight, Sunday was barking like crazy. I mean, she doesn't bark when it's morning then why is she barking now? We went downstairs to check on her, baka gutom or something. And we really have to do something to stop her from her bark-a-thon for fear that the neighbors would hate us for the noise. Guinea pigs and rabbits are easier to take care of because they don't make sounds. They don't bark and howl. But they also aren't malambing. I guess that's the trade-off. And for that I choose dogs over rodents as pets.

Hay... I need to start on my order na. It's due this Thursday and I haven't concocted a single drop. Patay na ako mamaya. Pa-morning-an na naman ito.

2 Rants and a Solved Dilemma

Somebody please slap me!

I just let a very good opportunity pass! Stupid. Me.

But the good thing is there's still next year. I could try next year. And I will try next year. Definitely. And next time, I won't let anyone's negativity get to me.

***

Bad day. Mommy's mad at me. Hmm... what should I do? I'm not really fond of apologizing after a tiff and it wasn't my fault to start with. She's the one getting high-pitched on me. Maybe I'll let her "madness" die its natural death and wait until she talks to me. Pero, I'm sure, makakarating 'to kay Daddy... masama na naman akong anak, as always. Bow.

I have this dilemma.

Ycel gave me the Gossip Girl prequel book for Christmas but I don't know whether I should read it before the others. I've read the first novel of the series already but I haven't bought the second novel which is the direct continuation of the first one. So, I am really contemplating on whether I should read the book before or after I've read everything else. It is the book available here for me to read but I want to read the other novels that were released before it. For example, I think it was better to read Jessica's and Elizabeth's journal after reading the entire book series since you'll literally have "aha" moments on why they are like the way they are. And the same goes for this one...

Okay, I've decided. I'm reading the prequel after I've read all the other books.

P.S. Ate Bam also said I should read the books in the order they were released. So I should read the prequel last talaga.
