GG: Pret-a-Poor-J

I like Blair's umbrella. Anyway, I just don't get it why these filthy rich teenagers still walk to school on a rainy day. We're talking about teenagers who have limos here.

I like Chuck in this episode. For once, he wasn't acting DOM-ish. So now we know that Chuck is capable of refusing it although Blair is practically throwing herself at him.

"Three words. Eight letters. Say it and I'm yours."

So Chuck and Blair as a couple isn't going to happen just yet. I love what Chuck said that he'd rather wait and see what happens in the future. I guess he really loves Blair to not take advantage of her. Let's see... in the future.

I once professed undying love for Dan Humphrey's character. I thought he was the close-to-perfection guy. I even chose him over Nate (as if!). But he turned out to be a conceited ass just because he dated Serena van der Woodsen. Suddenly, he's not so cute anymore. Ya no ♥ Dan Humphrey. So if I were Serena and I had a choice between this creature:

and this:

I'd definitely choose #2. That is if we're in the looks department. Aaron Rose (John Patrick Amedori) reminds me of Heroes' Milo Ventimiglia but cuter (and younger). He'll be Serena's next squeeze in the following GG episodes.

I find it weird that Dan isn't showing any sign of jealousy.

And, eeew.. I know Nate's such a cutie but he's also a man-slut. In the series, there are 4 main girl characters: Serena, Blair, Jenny and Vanessa, and Nate has kind of dated all of them.

I saved the best for last and since this episode was named after her, Jenny Humphrey. I guess being conceited runs in the family, eh? Somebody needs to get Jenny off her high horse, tie her to it and let the horse drag her all over the streets of NYC. I swear that girl is such a... big-headed b*tch. How can she do that to Eleanor Waldorf? She's Eleanor Waldorf- THE designer?! And she's, like, nobody. And she has transformed from please-don't-fire-me-I'll do anything Jenny to cos-then-if-you-fire-me-what-would-you-do self-applauding brat just by listening to a model who's like the same age as she is. I swear gusto ko siyang tirisin.

Maybe it's the eyeliner.

I have three words, eight letters for little J: I hate you!

Ambisyosa.

i miss you

Shin Seung-hun's The Day Will Come

Rekindling my love for Korean music and music videos. I missed the kind of songs and music videos they used to do. From what I know, boybands (who look feminine) are the shizz in kpop music scene.

Yoon Do-hyun's Sarang Haet Na Bwa

I miss the beautiful, sad ballads.

Sung Si-kyung's Jal Jinaenayo (Are You Doing Well?)

Nakaka-in love boses nila! Boses lang ;)
Pero pag si Hyunbin, lahat-lahat nakaka-in love.

GG: Chuck in Real Life

What the hell was Serena's problem? She's starting to get into my nerves.. Well, she got into my nerves several episodes ago...

Serena's such a skank.

I watched this episode last night with my sister. Actually, we watched the last 3 episodes last night since the last episode she's seen was The Ex Files. She was commenting on how Blair was so evil. Remember the scene in The Serena Also Rises when Serena told Blair to her face that she's insecure... my sister said, "totoo naman," while I, inside my head, was defending Blair. Am I too biased towards Blair that I can't see that she is indeed 100+ lbs of pure girly evil?

I thought they were going to kill that headband? Guess not.

Kawawa naman si Blair.She should have gotten those thousand signatures Vanessa requested. But I guess these kids really want to complicate their lives. Her "brilliant" plan has, once again, backfired. Now, it looks like she'll lose Chuck to Vanessa.

It's so typical of these bets-scenario that the other party privy to bet will, one way or another, will call the bet off for he/she has fallen with the target (Cruel Intentions, She's All That). I'm not sure if there will really be a Vanessa and Chuck pairing since the pairings were a little unpredictable and fickle. Makes me think that the writers play spin the ruleta to decide on which characters will be paired off for each episode.

And speaking of Vanessa, I so don't like her. As I was doing other things while watching this episode, I found out that even just the sound of her voice annoys me.

Cute ni Nate :)

Super inis ako ngayon. Ang mahirap pa eh hindi ko alam kung bakit. Attended mass, asking for some divine intervention but to no avail. Called Juno. Effective! Thanks lola. Hehe. I didn't even realize that I was standing for 2 whole hours!

* Happiness is...

two kinds of ice cream!
Coffee crumble & Green tea

* Weather's really weird. The sun's out, the skies are blue AND it's raining, too. Others say it is global warming. While others say there's nothing to worry about and actually blame Al Gore (The Inconvenient Truth) for making the people praning.

* While on the topic of heavenly bodies... I've had this thought about the sun for quite some time now. Our sun is a star, right? What would happen to earth, to us, when the sun dies? Will there be a new star to replace the sun and hold the solar system in place? Or will the earth fall out of orbit and float aimlessly in the universe and we will all die? Thankfully this won't happen in my lifetime (how selfish of me). When the time comes, maybe humankind will be so technologically advanced to be able to put the sun in life support. D'oh.

* Went to the dentist early this morning. I am getting used to these dental visits and I kinda enjoy them already... if not for the (usually) hefty price tag.

* Got a haircut last Monday. I'm not very happy with the result. I'm not disappointed with it either. I can't blame the hairstylist when it is my hair that's problematic, diba? I'm torn on whether I should have it straightened or hilaw na kulot. However, I don't want to subject my hair to another chemical torture. But if I leave my tresses in its present state (which is a state of disarray), it is I who suffer the consequences.

* I'm excited for the Christmas season!

hopefully, we will

Definitely a must-see concert!

Rihanna AND Chris Brown in one concert... and if you buy now until the 31st of October, you get to buy the tickets at half the price!

The sisters and I might be watching. We're planning to watch. We want to watch.

November 16, hmm... ngayon pa lang I have an itinerary planned out for that particular day in my mind. Brow House, supposedly, will open on November 15. So before the concert, I could have my brows groomed. Perfect!

get it?

bbg art.

bil-bilson strikes again

Must get my stubby little fingers on these magazines...

...two to three months from now. I go for back issues. Way cheaper. But still, Rachel Bilson on the cover of Teen Vogue (again) and In Style!?! Aaaaack!

Rachel Bilson just recently came out with her clothing line for DKNY, named Edie Rose. I, myself, am looking for a nice name for my line of products. Influenced by R-Bils, I am thisclose to naming my soon-to-be-empire business Ashley Rose, after my cousin's daughter. Overkill much?

gg s02 e06: new haven can wait

I miss college! This week's episode made me miss college. I just wish we had wide, open, grassy spaces on campus. And no, that little strip of soccer field between LS and Velasco doesn't count.

I love this week's episode. Thankfully, there weren't much spit-swapping scenes... but Nate just had to ruin it for me.

I usually love and covet Blair's wardrobe but this episode was an exception. In the words of the Dean, too stuffy. Okay I am going to let her outfit in the dream sequence slip. After all, it was a dream sequence.

But I just can't overlook this one...

...the lola hat, the lola blouse, lola skirt and lola shoes. Too frumpy. Her pantulog looked even way better that.

Now that we're on the topic of clothes, I just had to comment on Serena's. I guess if one's going to a college visit to Yale, no less, one had to dress appropriately. And Serena just had to dress like a skank--

...plunging neckline


...too much cleavage.

and still manage to score an early acceptance. And yeah, it was her face on Page Six that got her in. Serena just lost it when Blair told her that because she knows it's true. Ha!

I wanted to post a picture and comment on Chuck's red pants and green socks but I'd rather not. This post's already overflowing with pictures. Basta, kakaiba. But Chuck's choice of clothing has always been strange. What I loved in this episode was Jenny's frock...

Serena's such a biatch. At least, Blair owns up to her evil ways. But Serena, she pretends she's all nice and says she does things just retaliate at whatever Blair throws at her. But in reality, she enjoys watching Blair writhe in insecurity. Okay, she's taller, stunningly gorgeous (in the show's context since I, personally, find Blair to be prettier than Serena. I find Serena's schnoz distracting), sexier and more popular, but does she have to rub it in Blair's face? Clearly, Blair's insecure of her, how else could Blair come up with a statement such as "my hair might not sparkle when it catches the light?" as compared to that young lady. Serena knew that and used it to torture Blair. She did take everything from Blair-- Nate, Eleanor, her army, and now Yale, which is Blair's dream. She definitely crossed the line on this one.

I love this scene. Mukhang kawawa si Blair... parang scene sa Sharon Cuneta movie. I'm sure Blair was thinking, "Babangon ako't dudurugin kita."

And of course, my favorite scene-- when Blair threw her clutch at Serena's head.
Priceless.

Darth Vader: 1 point. Sunshine Barbie:0. Yay! Go Team Blair! But I also liked it when Serena ripped the bow headband off Blair's head and said, "I hate your stupid headband." Ditto. Well, I used to love it but then everybody else started wearing it. And yeah, it does look stupid. Only Blair can rock it.

After the fight, Serena waved the white flag. She's giving up on their little fight and their friendship. Or so, we thought. They still have this itty-bitty goodness left in their hearts that the both of them tried to talk to the Dean that the other one deserves to get into Yale. Awww...

The producers are already hinting us that there will be a Gossip Girl: The College Years. Back in Season 1 (The Poison Ivy), the five main characters wanted to go to five different universities: Serena to Brown, Blair to Yale, Nate to USC, Chuck to Princeton and Dan to Dartmouth. Why, all of a sudden, they all expressed interest in going to Yale? Hmm... If ever Dan goes to Yale, he is such a sell-out. But if they do go to college (at Yale), will Gossip Girl still be there? How pathetic of him/her to devote his/her life to stalking these kids. Just a thought.

if i was a rich girl

Unfair. Bakit payat na si Britney Spears?

Britney would be having a major worldwide tour DAW. If it pushes through (and I hope it does), I hope the Philippines would be part of her itinerary. I'm so going to watch.

I must vow never to put off for tomorrow (or in my case, several months later) any dental appointment I'm due for today.

After last March's root canal, I was supposed to go to my other dentist for the reconstruction of the tooth. But I didn't. I thought that the temporary filling would still be good until my check-up scheduled on September. But it lasted only til August. A month shy of my schedule check-up. When I came in for a check-up today, the dentist tsk-tsked on the state of my tooth. I should have brought it for permanent filling or whatever six months ago pa. She said that crown lengthening chuva should be done to the tooth. But I went to my other dentist for consultation. According to him, I don't need the crown lengthening procedure anymore. Good thing. But still I should have gone to the dentist right away after the root canal procedure. Sabi ni doc, "Ayan naparami tuloy yung ginawa sayo." Haay... And not to mention, entailed more expenses. 'Di na natuto.

I'm really intrigued by this book series/cult series, Twilight. According to people, it's good daw. Apparently, it's one of those once you start reading it, you won't put it down books.

I once was part of the Harry Potter bandwagon. Actually, even before it became HARRY POTTER. A friend of my sister gave it to her as a gift, read it and got hooked on it until the fourth book. Then my interest on the book series waned. Still haven't read the sixth and seventh installments and I'm not sure if I still want to.

However, for the second time, I am feeling the urge to jump into this Twilight bandwagon and read the book. That is, before the movie comes out. Must borrow from Armida.

updates

* THE SKY IS FALLING!

Oh, okay, it's just my brows in full bloom. The brow salon's opening on November 15, as opposed to AD's earlier press release of October 15. So the brows are all bushy and unkempt. I'm really tempted to pluck them into shape on my own but I must practice self-restraint here. Buti na lang nawawala yung magandang tweezer. I won't look for it until I had my brows groomed.

*LSS of the moment
Oo- Up Dharma Down


*AC headed off to China early today for a one-year scholarship. She left me all her financial chuva for the time being she's not here.

I don't really go on missing people when they're gone for like a month or two, but a year... vamos a descubrir. Well, I kinda have my own, little world and I can entertain myself. Autistic ba. Anyway, the nail spa has to do very well since my daddy imposed on me that I have to pay for AC's ticket back here for her vacation break. Okay, all together now, let's chant: Money comes to me frequently and easily.

Since AC will not be here for a year, AD and I have plans to re-arrange the room. Since Vicky's practically home four times a week to sleep in-between work hours, we have the room to ourselves. Now that the supposed clutterers are out, we will soon find out if their absence in the room would make the room uncluttered and organized.

* I'm preparing for the Christmas season. I'm concocting products to sell in the oncoming bazaars we will be participating in. Wish me luck on this! Again, money comes to me frequently and easily!

bbg is happy

...because I have a scanner, finally. As a Christmas gift given in advance by my mother. At first, I hesitated since Christmas is still 60+ days away and I would have to share it with her internet café. But then I remembered that my mother doesn't really give us Christmas presents... so I took advantage of the opportunity since I've wanted a scanner since 2006. So here I am, a magazine-scanning junkie. I might need therapy for this.

the crush...es

I'm done watching the first two seasons of The O.C. on DVD and I will continue watching the series online. The only reason I bought the DVD was I thought Surfthechannel's going bust by the start of October. But it's still online and working perfectly so I'll continue my OC marathon in front of the computer.

I don't know where these people get their never-ending supply of drama. And I thought that having lots of moolah would actually save you from the trouble of real life (aka poverty and all the problems that entail it). But no. Apparently, Notorious B.I.G has got this one right, Mo' Money Mo' Problems. But I still don't get it why their lives get so messed up. Everything's handed to them on a silver platter and yet they still manage to screw up. But that's not going to be my problem so why should I care, right?

The OC is different from Gossip Girl. At least for me, GG seems like a... fantasy. I don't know if the lives of the very very rich kids are similar to those of the characters on GG; but the characters on The OC are more real, dealing with more conceivable problems. Plus, they have parents that actually do parenting.

And I know that the main reason why I started watching OC was Rachel Bilson. However, I found another reason to keep watching 'til the end- Seth Cohen. His character is so funny. I swear I want my own real-life Seth Cohen. Before, I used to say that I want my own, real-life Dan Humphrey, but now I don't. Seth Cohen is like Dan Humphrey but funnier and way cuter. And to add to my fictional character crushes, Chuck Bartowski. I love Chuck. Whaddyaknow, I like geeks- the cute, non-freakish kind.

And now I'm going back to my OC marathon :)

Rachel Bil-bil-son

I am currently obsessed with The O.C. and what made me watch it in the first place was... Rachel Bilson. I so like Rachel Bilson's personal style.


AC asked why I suddenly changed my style icon- from GG's Blair Waldorf to Rachel Bilson. I explained that I still like Blair Waldorf's style and would still love to covet her wardrobe but it is so hard to wear the clothes she wears in the sweltering heat of our country. Plus, Rachel Bilson's short (accdg. to Wikipedia, she is 5'1) and therefore, her style could work on me. "Payat lang siya," I added. To which my sister commented, "Ganun ha. Parang payat ka." Then I again explained to her that losing weight is still possible while it is obvious that I can't grow any taller anymore. She got my point. That's how Miss Bilson became my style icon and fashion inspiration. Good luck na lang sa'kin.

cheesims

History repeats itself.

Uso na naman ang suicide sa Korea.

First, it was Ahn Jae-hwan and now Choi Jin-shil was found dead in her Seoul home.

On happier news (actually hindi siya happy para sa akin), Kwon Sang-woo got married to Sohn Tae-young.

gg: the serena also rises

This episode's very similar to those of the first season and I love it! After four episodes of blatant displays of affection, I think it was a good idea to put a halt to those Melrose Place-ish plots.

Such a maldita! But this is one maldita I like. Even if what Serena told her was true (that she's insecure, etc.), I am still on Blair's side. Serena's line "Just get over it, Blair. My whole life I've been bending over backwards to protect your feelings. And you know what, it's not my fault that you're so insecure," reminded me of Cady Heron (Mean Girls) when she told Janis, "it's not my fault you're like in love with me or something." Ewww... ang yabang. Okay, I might be a bit biased...

Jenny Humphrey... I want to squish her face, twist her neck and break her bones. If I were Rufus Humphrey, I swear this kid's already handcuffed to the kitchen counter. Palibhasa, mountaineer. And I find it hard to believe that she could sew something like the green dress Serena wore for the finale. And if I were Eleanor Waldorf, I would fire Jenny because she stole fabric from me. Jenny said she made the green dress from scrap fabric she found in the workshop. Mukha bang scrap yun? Whatever.

But it looks like Jenny and Blair will be starting an alliance. Let's see.

I thought we'll be seeing the oddest pair-up this season with Dan Humphrey and Chuck Bass hanging out together, but then again maybe not. But I think that angle was too short-lived that I bet that's not the end of it.

This episode has definitely left me wanting MORE. Now that Serena and Blair are in enemies mode, guess we'll be seeing more catfights and devious, underhanded plots to get to each other's nerves. I'm thinking, now that Serena and Dan are not friends and Blair and Serena are also not friends... could there be a Dan-Blair pair up? Hmm...

I miss Nate.

Can't wait for next week's episode.
