* I loved this week's Chuck episode. SJ moments. SJ as in "selos jealous". Haha!

Chuck's ex-girlfriend, Jill, was in town for a biochem seminar chorva. Chuck's romantic feelings towards Sarah has been side-tracked as his feelings for Jill had resurfaced. I know Sarah has been in denial with regard to her feelings for Chuck and Chuck is totally oblivious that Sarah hearts him, too, and that was what made this episode great. Sarah's super-SJ with Jill but at the same time, she can't let it show.

* Guess I'm not the only 26-year-old who buys and reads Teen Vogue, eh? The average age of Teen Vogue's readers is 25.8. So I'm not totally retarded!

* I'm excited to have my eyebrows groomed tomorrow! There's a growing forest above my eyes. I don't know if my daily dizziness is due to my diet or due to the fact that my eyebrows are getting heavier. I fervently hope that Brow House is already open. I don't think I can wait another month.

* In Gossip Girl, Serena's mouth annoys me.

* And oh, I am worried about this client of mine who hasn't paid me yet for the wedding favors I made for a wedding held one month ago! Well, she claims she has deposited the check to my bank account some two weeks ago but the amount hasn't entered my account yet. I want to believe her but it has been a month since the wedding... I hope she'll pay me this Monday.

* I am tremendously envious of creative people. I've come across these nice blogs of super creative girls:

• Love, Joleen Photography
• Old Lady
• Making It Lovely
• Krisatomic

I would loooooooove to be like them. I wish I could be as creative as they are. According to my sister, creativity can be developed. So what should I do to develop my creativity? Hmmm...

Twilight Zone

I'm done with Eclipse. I never thought I would be able to finish reading three books in two weeks. That is a record! Well, technically, I didn't read it. Rather, I listened to it. But I must say that audiobooks are quite handy. I was able to do what I was supposed to do while listening to the book. After 3 books, I just got a little annoyed at how often the author used the word chuckled. And she also loves using the word infinitesimally. I think she could have consulted the Thesaurus for synonyms instead of using the same words over and over.

Now that we're in the topic of Twilight, I'm disappointed that the movie's gonna come out on November 26 and not on Nov 21. Just when I thought that there were only 6 days of wait... I would have to add 5 more frickin' days. The agony... But I think I would also have to remind myself not to get excited and expect too much or I might be in for a big disappointment. I super duper mega over hope that the movie's REALLY GOOD.

I initially thought Rob Pattinson's not as goodlooking as how Edward Cullen was described in the book. But after a gazillion minutes of fangirling and watching lots of interviews of the cast, behind-the-scenes vids and trailers, I find myself slightly crushing on him. I like scruffy. I like facial hair. I like how his hair is so unruly. Bwahaha! Basta tama ang angle, cute naman siya eh. And I think the accent did it for me. After hearing him talk in that lovely English accent, I was smitten as a kitten.

Diba, cute naman siya?!!!

I read in one of those gossip blogs that there was this one time when a 7-year-old kid asked Pattinson if he could bite her. A 7-year-old reading Twilight??? Isn't she supposed to be reading stuff like Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty? Gah! If I were a parent, I wouldn't let my 7-year-old daughter read Twilight. A book about vampires filled with kissy-kissy moments? Totally a no-no for a child.

I've just unearthed another picture...

Ooooh, I can just squeeeeeee with gleeeeee :)

* Who knew that vampires could be so conservative?

scruffy duffy

Finally, the highly-dreaded day has passed. I got all panicky last Friday that my insides were churning and my eyelids were twitching. I don't know and I have no idea how I fared on the exam. I hope I did okay. Kahit pasang-awa lang.

Since I'm done with the exam, I was able to finish New Moon sans guilt. The more I read about Edward Cullen, the more I fall in love with him. However, the more I read about Bella, the more I seem to dislike her, chapter after chapter. Not that I hate Bella. She is just too desperate to become a vampire. If their present arrangement works, I don't know why she's too atat. And we all know that the dangers that their relationship holds fuels their attraction to each other even more. Very Romeo and Juliet nga.

I said in my last post that Robert Pattinson probably wasn't the best choice to play Edward Cullen. I mean, it's Hollywood... they could have done sooo much better. But there's this photo of him I found that made me decide to give him the benefit of the doubt... scruffy Edward, I like...

I kinda like him here. I can't wait! I hope it'll be the 21st of November soon! Yes, he is not uber-goodlooking, but when I saw some of the movie's snippets on youtube, there were some angles wherein he looked good. Hmmm... Baka nga naman magaling siya umarte. We'll see.

ano ba?

STOP ME!
PLEASE...

I can't seem to stop listening to the Twilight saga audiobook.
And I really need to study. Like, right now.

So, Jacob is a werewolf.
Edward hasn't re-appeared yet. Grrr...

quasi-fixations

Just got home from the 3rd get-together with cousins in 4 days. This time, we had dinner at Pasto in Eastwood. Conversations were mostly about family dramas (more like comedies, actually) and who got the dominant traits of the C****a. AB and I still maintain that we don't possess such traits, while they can't deny that they do.

Still, sabaw pa rin ang utak ko sa pag-aaral ng espanol. I don't know where to start. I just answered model tests but I think doing so didn't do or added anything to my already poor Spanish. Well, our booklet doesn't include the answer keys so there's no way we could check whether or not we have the correct answers. Hula-hula pa rin. Plus, I can't really focus on studying. I can't study here at home since there are a gazillion distractions. I tried studying at my workplace (aka plaza) but there were distractions as well, paputol-putol pa din. I haven't done this for so long, study I mean, that's why I'm finding it hard to concentrate and put my brain into work.

***

Another distraction is that Twilight saga chorva. I just have to listen to it even just a tiny bit of the story. I'm in Book 2 (New Moon) already and I can't wait to find out whatever will happen to Bella and Edward. Edward and his family has moved to another place, leaving Bella (pathetically) heartbroken and depressed. But this Jacob Black character... I saw on youtube that he's a werewolf daw. I'm not sure if that's true since I haven't reached any part of the book that says so. Kaya nga atat na ako makinig pero nagi-guilty ako 'pag makikinig ako at hindi nag-aaral.

I still refuse to accept that I am addicted to Twilight. Hindi pa naman talaga eh. Not the way I was addicted to Gossip Girl. Or to any erstwhile objects of my obsession. I'm just excited for the movie to come out. I just hope it wouldn't disappoint. But as early as now, Ycel said the trailer didn't leave her wanting to watch the movie. And 2 other persons have concurred with my opinion that the Edward Cullen isn't as goodlooking as he's supposed to be.

i need Divine Intervention

I'm doing some major cramming for my spanish proficiency exam on Saturday. Mierda talaga! I forgot how it feels to cram like this. Well, I did some cramming din pala last March for the civil service exams. But I think this time is different. For the civil service, I could rely on some stock knowledge. But with this DELE-like exams (nivel superior, no mas), I would have to really really study and know what verb tense to use. I can't do nivel superior. My spanish level is like... basic. Ayayay!

patience is a virtue

My mandatory first-day-of-the-month post made not on the first day of the month.

I'm quite excited for a few forthcoming events: Brow House's supposed opening on the 15th, Rihanna and Chris Brown's concert on the 16th, Twilight on cinemas and Christmas.

My brows are getting heavier by the day. Yesterday when I curled my lashes, the tips of my lashes met my brows. I seriously need to get my brows groomed and I'm so happy happy joy joy that my wait has been reduced to 12 days. Okay, 13 days since I plan on having them plucked clean on the 16th, the same date as the double concert, para tipid sa gas ;)

I noticed, by the gazillion Halloween party pics uploaded on facebook, that Halloween parties are the shizz in the states. Very different from the practice here in the country. Well, there are some Halloween parties but they aren't that big as compared to the states. On those dates, people go to the cemetery to visit the dead. Good for us, our dead relatives were buried in the province and we wouldn't have to squeeze ourselves in the cemetery with million others. Instead, my sisters and I went out with cousin Ging who was visiting from the states. Actually, she wanted to go to a Halloween party. But as the boring cousins we are, we took her to Omakase for dinner instead. Hehe.

Watched House Bunny with mommy and sisters last Saturday. The movie was funny. I liked it. I loved the part where Shelley (Anna Faris) tried to copy the Marilyn Monroe pose.

Speaking of movies, I'm so looking forward to the Twilight movie coming out this November. At first, I was wondering what's the fuss about this new book series. Usually, I resist anything that's liked by a lot. I resisted High School Musical. I resisted The O.C. I even resisted the skinny jeans craze. Obviously, resistance was futile since I loved High School Musical, The O.C. and (not-so) skinny jeans. And now I jumped on the Twilight bandwagon. Too stingy to buy books, I downloaded an audiobook instead. Now, I am hooked on the series and I still do want to own copies of the four books that comprise the series. Audiobooks are fine, only I end up asleep after 15 minutes. I'm so excited for the movie. I can't wait to see Edward Cullen's eyes turn from black to gold and vice versa. Oo nga pala, I was a little disappointed when I saw the actor who was playing Edward. He's not that goodlooking. I just expected someone super duper mega over good looking (as he was described as such in the book).
What I love about Twilight is it's oozing with cheesiness. I love cheesy. It makes me giddy.
