Olympic tradition

i guess normal din pala and lip syncing sa olympics..

amazing sand castles

so pretty!!! i dont understand how the builders could stand doing something so nice and destroying it right after... so sad!

tween shows

since the start of the school year all computers have been occupied.. so i always end up watching tv with my youngest sister..

and i realized in between watching the wizard family, zack and cody, unfabulous and life with derreck.. im watching kids shows!!! not that there's anything wrong about it.. pero if my past time is watching kids are around with my little sis.. parang somethings weird na.. hhe.. pero they are light and wholesome so maybe its not that weird right?

Hhe.. wala lang just feels like sharing.

Something new

i realize that last night was my first time to go into a karaoke place... there were some occassions na i went with my x-officemates to dampa where there would be a videoke pero syempre different atmosphere yun.. magulo and puro food.. hhe.. i have this fear of attention when i know that im not good at it.. so i stay away from singing dancing and talking in front of a crowd basically amost everything that i feel im not very good.. the experience was fun and next time i will be ready with a list of songs na : )

mamma mia is still stucked on my head..

Beijing 08

last night was the finale of Beijing 08 and i really felt sad that its all over now.. it became a habit to check the gold medal count and the total medal count every now and then.. and to check pictures and stories and commentaries about the olympics.. it was a 2 weeks performance that went by so fast.. darn i remember 2000olympics where they announced Beijing to be the host for the big 08 and it seemed so far away..

anyway. now that its done. i feel sad that the bashings and the insults on Beijing Olympics will dwindle down to zero.. I have this firm belief that people (envious people) are the ones who would bash and make insulting comments and notice the bad things about everything.. and that only proves how good Beijing was in hosting the events.. would people care that the song was lip synced(parang wrong spelling :D) if the performance was not good? would people care that the gymnast seems (not proven) underaged if she didnt won the gold over US? would the digitally enhanced fireworks be a big deal if the show was ugly?

no..

because people wont care if Beijing didnt do a great job..

Kudos to Beijing! Great job!

lifehouse effect

if we were to go to a lifehouse concert today.. i could probably sing along most of the songs by now.. hhe kinda late right? im such a bad crammer.. well.. now im a lifehouse fan hhe.. nice songs and cute lead : )

Cinderella night

since H is most probably on her way to watch Cinderella right now.. i can write about it na.. hhe.. if anyone reading this plans to watch it.. uhm i suggest stop because with my continuous ramblings i can get out of hand and spoil it for you.

me and kim went to watch Cinderella last night in CCP.. i think this is my first play that i really wanted to watch.. from what i remember all the other plays were either required or for bonus points hhe.. by some luck(good or bad?) we ended up buying the cheapest ticket since fully booked!! yung gusto naming seats. (mid range kasi kaya siguro naubos kaagad) our seats were on the 4th flr!!! they all looked so small!!

we ended up buying a disposable "eyemax" which seems to magnify the stage so it was worth it naman hhe even when you get dizzy looking through it.. either that or you look at really really small show...

the play was worth watching tlga.. i love cinderella so the story is good, the singers were good, the set was nice, our seats were cheap :D all in all a pretty good show tlga.. the place was packed.. there were some seats vacant pero parang butas butas lang and to think its a tuesday night! wow!!

i wasnt ecstatic about all the song choices they're not mainstream but they were just right.. and the ten minutes song was so enchanting hhe... its my first time to see lea live.

well having cheap seats have some bad side effects.. we cant see the whole stage!!! we were already seated at the very front of our level and we cant see parts of the stage na mataas.. and to think at the finale which was the wedding.. the prince and cinderella were on top of the tall stage so we could only

see their neck down!! wah!! i was laughing at the silliness of it all and groaning when we were not able to see them kiss.. (kasi neck down lang eh) i mean we can figure it out from watching their body language.. but still!!! stupid props people.. i mean i know we bought cheap tickets but they should have made sure that the props well at least the actors are still visible kahit your seated way at the top right?!?

i guess all of us dream of our very own happily ever after.. but i think sadly iam not as naive and not as a dreamer as i was a few years back.. i cringe at some of the sappy dialogues and roll my eyes at some of the "magical" scenes.. i think waiting for my prince is making me a bitter realist.. kasi naman ang tagal niya db?!? hhe

anyway it was such a nice night hopefully there would be more plays to look forward to, more movies to see and more of everything hhe.. im a glutton for gimmicks : )

post olympic opening post

last friday (yup olympic opening night) i had dinner with some HSBC people.. it was an entertaining night.. with me providing much of the entertainment.. kwentuhan and puro updates about the office people and well remembering the "good?" old times.. unfortunately i needed to miss the BIG opening..

well i could sum up my dinner as entertaining and frustrating.. it was fun catching up and learning about the happenings after i left.. the camaraderie is still there even if they would talk about the new people.. pero the worst tlga when one of them said na mukhang mas magaling na sa kin yung pumalit sa kin.. kaya parang di na daw nila ako nammiss!!!!!!!! insensitive brute!! anyway.. other than that and remembering that im a stupid girl.. the dinner was alright.. Jon even unexpectedly hugged me when we met..

back to the opening which iam currently watching (at my lunch break).. what struck me other than the extravangance (which is opposite the well known frugality of Chinese people.. is the fact that all the performers of the big production ones(theres hundreds of them.. im not sure if 2008 people din sila) all of them seems so happy.. none of them gets the spotlights alone.. what with lots of them out at the same time.. but they are doing it unselfishly for China and not for themselves.. amazing.. you could see the dedication and pride in just being there..

oops lunch break's over...

archie's back!!

i saw this link in People.com.. he's first single! "Crush" Hhe..

grabe he's really just a kid .. But he's really so cute!!

ta ai talk

tonight i went to a "talk" held by TA AI people.. it was supposedly a talk to disprove the logic behind the "ghost" month of the lunar calendar which started yesterday.. yes people its the seventh month in the lunar calendar.. so expect more praying and alay ng foods to the dead..

so thinking that its quite an interesting topic and being gullible enough to actually think it gonna be better than sitting in front of my pc and being bored... i happily wwent with my parents and a pair of uncle auntie to the said seminar.. the minute no the second i entered the venue which was second floor of a bookshop that sells ta ai books.. i knew i made a huge mistake.. there were old people inside the small room.. i believe that i was the youngest and my parents werent in the old age range.. so imagine my chagrin to be late and be seated in front of the podium.. huhu...

i think nag-nose bleed ako listening palang.. no chance to get out because i was seated in front with my parents on the other table : ( and there is really no place to go.. we were not exactly in the center of ongpin area and the talk lasted for an hour and a half so no place to tambay!!

shux next tym i should take a hint.. if none of my siblings wanted to go.. something is definitely wrong with it.
