it's just another day for you and me

Shoes

Okay. We brought Alex to Gymboree again. This time, I wasn't the bantay. (Grabe. I got soooooo tired the last time I did it.)

But that isn't the point. The point is... I HAVE NEW SHOES. Lol.

Hahaha. So while Trisha was running around the place making sure Alex doesn't trip or anything, I went to People Are People and bought the shoes I've been eyeing since the last week. Hehe.

It looks cool. It's my first pair of sneakers if you can call it that. So now, I don't have to use my rubber shoes for going out, I now have going-out shoes.

What makes me so happy is that I bought it with my own money.

Yes, it's the first pair of clothing that I've bought for myself. Seriously, I've never bought anything for myself... it's always someone else. LOL.

What makes it so cool is that I got it cheaper than expected.

Last time I asked, the price was 2,499. However, the cashier begged to disagree and called two other stores to tell me it's 1,899. Yeah! Wahaha.

In other news, my shopping isn't over. I found a cool pair of shorts in human along with the belt that I found last time. La lang.

Now, my footwear collection is perfect. Hahaha.

Well... I wanna get new rubber shoes already. Mine right now looks so worn out already.

Might I just say, other than searching for glasses, searching for shoes is another "time-taker." I mean, looking for my current pair of rubber shoes wore my dad out. And I found it only after a few days. But with this pair of shoe, I just clicked. LOL.

La lang. Wow, a blog dedicated to a single pair of shoes. o.O

American Idol Rant.

I shouldn't be surprised to open my television set tomorrow and find that Syesha is out of the game. (But I sure will be sad my bet will be gone.)

I mean... her fan base isn't as solid as the Davids'.

However, I'm really disappointed she couldn't be given a gracious leave. It's quite annoying that they have to kick her out of the door instead of give her a kiss of death?

First song: If I Ain't Got You. What the hell was Randy thinking? The first time I found out that Randy chose this song, I was like, "Shit. This won't do her any good."

For one, it's an Alicia Keys signature song. They always pan her for all the signature songs she's done. (Whitney, Fantasia, etc.) Stupid choice of song. Second, just listening to it, you can't do much with it to make it hers. (Take One Rock 'n' Roll as an example. Have you heard/seen  the original performance? SOOOOO far from what she did.)

Guess what, I know what Randy's thinking. Let's give her a song that will ensure she's kicked out of the competition and give a David finale. 

Hello? We all know it's a  David-David finale. You don't have to give her a song that bad to ensure it. Any good song she'd done, the Davids would still do it.

I wish Simon chose the song. Damn.

Second song: Fever. I agree with Simon in that she should've chosen a more contemporary song to give the audience something to hang on to. But...

Were they watching they same thing I was watching? THAT WAS 'DA BOMB!

That was vocal perfection. And wow the last note! Her voice is very flexible...

Plus, she had the performance/choreography to match.

What the hell was wrong with them. (At least Randy made up for his lame song choice by commenting her well.)

Third song: Hit Me Up. First off, I'd like to comment on it before I rant about it. It was actually great. It's reminiscent of Beyonce--in my ears at least--and I liked it a lot. It was really good actually. Very contemporary. And of course, great vocals. However, it gets kinda draggy.

Now the rant. It isn't draggy because of her. It's draggy because the song is. The hell? WHY THE FU--ING HELL DID THE PRODUCERS PICK A SONG ON PENGUINS?

I know why. Because they're manipulating the audience into not voting her by choosing a song that's... ARGH! Don't you just hate the producers? Evil manipulators.

I'm hoping for a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal big shock finale and have Gaspy leave.

God, if you can't make world peace, please save Syesha.

Santa, I want that for Christmas. I've been a good boy, haven't I?

I really want her to get in just to smite the producers.

But, most of all, I really want her to win because she really deserves the title.

In other news.

David Archuleta:

And So It Goes: Beautiful!

With You: If I closed my eyes and didn't know it was David Archuleta, I'd love it.

Longer: WTF? Here's another victim of the producers.

David Cook:

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face: AMAZING! WOW!

Dare You To Move: Galing!

I Don't Want to Miss a Thing: If my wish isn't granted, (of course it won't be granted) this song definitely shows why I love David Cook.... It ranks with Always Be My Baby.

I would like to say VIOLINS are David Cook's best friends.

He has hits when he uses violins. Da bomb!

rolling... rolling... rolling on the river

go! go! go! GO!

Boxing and Movies

My plan worked. Yeah! 

In other news, Friday was eventful. Wahaha.

I went home. Then, boxing. This time, Trisha wanted to try it out. So she came with me. I was quite surprised she didn't do the same things I did on my first day. Ang arte ng trainer niya.

Anyhow, she got so tired, which is why...

1. She bought everything she could buy from Putong Ube. This includes the really scrumptious PUTONG KESO! Yum.

2. She fell asleep the whole afternoon.

In other news, lunch was fun. We had way too salty, watery mongo. (but it was still good)

But what made lunch fun was the show I was able to catch Karen the Carabao. LOL. More about it later.

In more news, I spent the rest of the afternoon listening to Eminem on my iPod. Grabe! Panalo ang greatest hits album niya! (Curtain Call: The Hits) Aside from the stupid Shady songs, it was really, really personal.

Evening came, and we watched two movies with an intermission by Bubble Gang. (grabe, tawa kami nang tawa.)

The first was Vantage Point. Ang ganda ng movie! It was really, really cool. The only problem being the ending where you go. That's it? They all die? and that a lot of people don't get hurt while others do when under the same predicament.

The second was Superhero Movie. I wasn't really that focused. But I didn't have to be to not like the film. I go against the flow by saying Meet the Spartans was more entertaining.

Anyhow, I had McDo take home. Wee.

BTW. Proud Mary is stuck in my head. And here are pics of Karen Carabao. ;D

thank god?!

TriNoma, Shang and Idol

Today was quite fun. Hehe.

It started out really awkward and sad though. But the past is past and words cannot be taken back.

So I woke up relatively early. 11AM. Lol.

After the cold shower and the said awkwardness, Mommy Fim, Trisha and I went to TriNoma.

We first ate at Mann Han. The usual... polunchay, yang chow and sweet and sour pork... and steamed fish. Yum.

Then, we went shopping. Wow, Trisha got a lot of stuff.

I was really happy too. I got my first pair of Havaianas. Yeah! I'm so happy.

After that, we went to Shang this time. After checking out Jymboree (grabe naman 'yan), we did some 'window shopping.' I found the almost perfect wallet-slash-money clip. I'm gonna have my dad get it for me. Yeah!

After, we went around Zara. Found some cool stuff I can only dream of.

Then, we went around Shang again.

Shet. Cool shoes at People Are People. I'm gon'na get it soon. Hahaha.

There was this belt too at Human. (where, btw, they were playing david cook)

I suddenly want shorts. Wahahaha! (shopping fever?)

So we went back to Zara. I came across Ms.A, Ms.M and Mr. Guangco.

Crazy how they say I look like David Archuleta. @.@

Anyhow, we ate merienda after. I got myself a twist at Country Style. Sobrang sarap

So we went home. More awkwardness and fun. Wahaha.

By the way. GO SYESHA!

She made it to the top 3. I'm hoping for some kind of miracle that she makes it to the top 2. Dream on.

happy brownies.

Iron Man, Boxing, Babies, Sleep and More Rambles

Okay. Here I go.

I watched Iron Man last Sunday. I loved it. It was really cool.

I guess what really appealed to me was that this was the most human superhero I know. Even compared to Batman. Oh, and Samuel L. Jackson made an appearance... an avengers movie perhaps? 

I just noticed how the stars in the movie are really Academy Award-nominated.

And I like the chemistry of Pepper and Tony.

BTW. I finished a pack of M'n'Ms while watching. Hehe.

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day. Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A. Take me to Chicago, San Francisco Bay. I really want to come kick it with you.

I enjoyed boxing today. And I started thinking about stuff.

I think I'm getting better at it. I mean I'm sweating way beyond than what my towel can handle. Something that hasn't really happened before.

Other than that, I think I'm already punching way faster than before. Kewl. Wahaha.

(yummy. i bought putong ube right after.)

Can we get away this weekend? Take me to Broadway. Let's go shopping baby then we'll go to a cafe. Let's go on the subway. Take me to your hood. I've never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good.

Ever since I came back to Ayala from the weekend, I've noticed some new stuff about me.

One, I feel really attached to the babies na. While in church, my attention was stolen by this baby who was playing around with his dad/grandfather. I couldn't help but remember Robin. Nanggigil ako sobra. I missed hanging around with him.

Other than that, I was feeding Alex a while ago and carrying her around too. I felt so close.

Wow. Makes you think. I want a baby. LOL!

Second, I just keep falling asleep early. For two night already, I've been sleeping at 8:30. And then I wake up a few ours later.

It feels really good. It's like you're refreshed to sleep late again. Wow.

Estelle once said to me, cool down down. Don't act a fool, now now. I always act a fool oww, oww. Ain't nothing new, now now. Hey crazy, I know what you're thinking. Ribena, I know what you're drinking. Rap singer. Chain blinger. Holla at the next chick soon as you're blinking.

Wow, that song is stuck in my head. I like how it's R'n'By and Jazzy a bit.

I fixed most of my computer problems. (Yey! External Hard Drive!)

I've watched most of Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara already! :D

for the night time

Strange Dream

I don't always remember my dreams when I wake up. But this one was hilarious... for me at least.

Here it goes...

I was in a classroom. Ginoo (Abelita) gave us test and had Mrs. Lugay proctor. So there I started doing my work. Kim was seatmate.

Anyhow. Mrs. Lugay disappeared and Mrs. Dairo entered with her team. There was this one womean who was really, really annoying. Let's call her Marian Rivera. (The actress isn't in the dream ha! It's that the woman is just as annoying as Marian Rivera.) 

So. They walked around the room and must of thought I was the best person to talk to. Haha!

And then two of them started talking. Marian Rivera was annoying. It's like she was trying to put Ginoo down in front of Mrs. Dairo (who just kept nodding), so I was defending him. I think I remember a line from my speech. "I'd rather have this third quarter portfolio project done now than in the third quarter. That way, it won't cram up and give us a lot of pressure then." Funneh! 

So they left. Marian Rivera got pissed her plan didn't work. I felt so annoyed I couldn't finish my project anymore. So I tried to finalize and passed it to.... ?

Then, I left again. I entered a different classroom.

By the way, the classrooms aren't Xavier classrooms. They're much like the H4 classroom (and hopefully our new classrooms) but not air-conditioned or brightly color. 

Back to the story... I entered a different classroom. Sat down. Trisha came in and she introduced me to her friends. All of a sudden the place turned into one of those local karaoke bars with drinking. Except that it was only her friends there.

I'd like to mention that I was shocked when I saw her friends. First thing that came to my mind was... JOLOGS! (Don't call me discriminative. I have jologs friends too... I think. Basta!) Anyhow, so I'm thinking to myself pa, "Where did you get your friends?"

But that wasn't the worst part. Not only did they look jologs, some of them looked liked drug addicts. So my reaction was teka-teka. Haha. There was this guy, the leader of sorts, who started passing out beer. San Mig Light.

I flat out rejected because... who the hell are you and why should I drink with you drug addicts? LOL. 

So the guy insulted me becuase I didn't want. In revenge, I got a bottle of beer and banged it on the table. Not only did it make a loud thud, it also made beer splash on his face. LOL!

He got furious. Then I saw Kuya Ricky in the table. Grinning with a tinker. Wahaha. He approves. So I backed off.

The guy was still staring at me. Dripping wet. Furious eyes. Then he suddenly morphs into my kuya's older-looking friends. It didn't matter, he was the same person to me.

Then he said, "Sige pa!" So I did. I kept staring back. Angry eyes too.

And then I attacked. Nagkagulo. LOL! 

Quite funny a dream. I woke up then because it was and is already 12:00.

I'm going back home today. Coming back to Ayala on Sunday.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get my glasses and my new hard drive.
