GG Update

10 days to go...
Apparently, it is Eric Van der Woodsen who would be the one coming out.

I think it's very misleading how they first portray his character as someone who's supposedly interested in Jenny Humphrey and then he turns out to be gay later on. Guys these days should come with a disclaimer saying that they might actually be gay.

Still, I'm happy it's not Dan Humphrey. Wahoo!

I wish we have something like this in Manila-- a well-maintained park, that is.

According to my older classmates in Spanish, the QC Parks & Wild Life was developed by the same guy who developed the Central Park in New York. Tanong ko... ano'ng nangyari? I guess we're never good preservers of anything. We weren't able to preserve the old buildings in Binondo. We weren't able to preserve the old houses in Sta. Mesa. When we get tired of the old stuff, we look for newer things and move on. We're such a bunch of lemmings... Mahilig makiuso.

Parks in Manila aren't really conducive to relaxation. First of all, it is frickin' hot. Like 37ºC hot. Plus, it also reeks human piss. The Filipino males were raised to believe that it is okay to just take a leak anywhere.

I really hope that we Filipinos will learn how to take care of what we have.

TE QUIERO, Y SIEMPRE ESTARE AQUI

I love love love this song. So much.
I first heard this song after watching the movie, The Holiday. I waited for the movie's credits so I'll know what is the title of the song and who sang it- Paul McCartney. I didn't get the song title. I searched for it on the net. It wasn't included in the movie's OST. And so I wasn't able to download the song. Incomplete information.

And after 48 years... I was watching HBO and The Lakehouse trailer was showing and I heard this nice, familiar song. I hurriedly searched for the movie's OST on the net... found the pertinent information... downloaded it... and there begins my love affair with the song.

I never even liked The Lakehouse. I like the original version, Il Mare, the Korean one. But this song made me want to watch the American version again.

The song makes me fall in love with.... love.

This Never Happened Before- Paul McCartney

Efficascent oil at katinko

Mommy's sick. Separation anxiety. After my daddy's week-long stay here, he went back to the province to tend to things. As she was feeling under the weather, she asked us for efficascent oil and katinko or tiger balm, but we just ran out of both. She asked us to buy efficascent oil and katinko from the grocery.

When we came back from the grocery...
Mommy: Nakabili na kayo ng katinko?
me: Opo.. eto o..
Mommy: hindi 'to yun... gusto ko mentholated
me: mentholated yan ma.. lahat naman ng katinko mentholated
Mommy: hindi, iba 'to eh.. gusto ko yung parang sa inyo..
me: ano? yung efficascent oil? eto...
Mommy: hindi ito.. gusto ko menthol..
me: menthol yan.. lahat naman ng efficascent oil menthol eh
Mommy: hindi.. iba 'to eh..

Tapos sumimangot na siya. While I went out of the room to avoid further arguments.

Katinko: menthol+ camphor; Efficascent oil: camphor + menthol

Bratty mommy.

Malu-bye

Sheet.

Ramiele's going home! And that's is not good news. Now there won't be any reason to watch the show. Sad.

And I blame the genre for the night- country music! Boring country music.

another one of those friggin'

Abs is done with school... law school, to be exact. So rissa and i and abs met up last night, had dinner and did some catching up. not much catching up to do din kasi rissa had dinner just last month when i helped her check her students' exam papers. with abs naman, nothing much din... she was mostly preoccupied with studying for law school finals to actually have something exciting happen.

ayun. most of the time, we're laughing about things. the dinner was yummy, although expensive. we ate at mong kok and had lemon chicken (mi favorito!), beef & broccoli, hakao and yang chow. for the same price, i could have all those and more at wai ying. haaay.. keri na rin. i was craving for fic strawberry ice cream pero 'di umabot. the stores and stalls were closing na and i had to run to mercury drug to get my stuff i left at the baggage counter. abs suggested haagen-dazs... no, thanks. for a measly scoop of green tea ice cream, i won't pay 150 frickin' pesos. two reasons: 1) i'd rather have mocha frap (venti pa) and 2) green tea tastes like grass.

so i was out having a good time with friends and then i went home then...

BAM!

Bad news hit... one of the better-skilled manicuristas is leaving the nail spa to work as an order taker somewhere. fine. Bad trip lang kasi i have to look for a replacement... soon! and i need someone as good as her or else we'll lose our customers to the competition. foootek. diba? I need nail technicians, please!!!

And now I can't sleep. Why can't I live in peace like this?

How, how, de carabao....

Who is Nate kissing?
Is he back with Blair? Jenny, perhaps? I don't think it's Serena since she's soooo in love with Dan.

Wha... Vanessa???
How did this happen? I'm dying to find out.

In the books, it was supposed to be Nate and Jenny. But I see that the tv series has deviated from it. Interesting... I can't wait til April 21... nuninuninu

And according to JustJared, one of the male characters will be outed! Apparently, it is not a new character. Could it be Dan? My Dan? Nooooooo!!! Sa book kasi naging gay ata siya, although this is towards the end na ata. I'm not sure, but that's what I heard. I just wish that the creators of this series would deviate from that storyline as well. Please, let my Dan be a real man.... through and through. Parang 'di ko na ma-take kung mala-Darren Hayes din ito. Please lang. Tama na ang mga uri nila 'no!

Basta, basta.... I'm so excited for the the new GG episodes to air. Only 20 days to go...
