THE Royal Wedding

Sunday, May 01, 2011

Okay so yeah I know that everyone has an opinion and most probably has already said their piece by now about this whole hullabahoo that is aka THE Royal Wedding aka THE Wedding of the Century aka THE Wedding of Will and Kate. Sorry but I just can't help it, I have to comment too.

Growing up...I don't think I've ever dreamt of being a princess or marrying a prince for that matter. I guess I just wasn't your typical girly girl, if you know what I mean. Heck, I don't think I even ever thought about what my dream wedding would be like. Sa madaling salita, I don't have a "dream" wedding in mind. And so this whole Royal Wedding has changed my sentiments, it got me to thinking what would it be like to be swept off my feet by my prince charming! Cheeeesy. But cheese aside, it would be really nice...don't you think? Sigh. I must say Kate is one very very very lucky girl! Who would've thought that being the commoner that she is, she would end up being a princess! It amazes me. We shouldn't be afraid to dream because after all libreng mangarap! Sometimes it wouldn't hurt to dream big, to dream of the impossible dream, sabi nga nila diba. Fairy tales still do come true. In the past, intermarriage outside the Royal family would've probably been close to impossible. It's always good to see how societal customs and norms have evolved through time and how societies have become more open and accepting of one other despite their differences; having an open mind is always a good thing. I strongly believe in timing too. Case in point, how Kate and Will got together. I believe that one's date with destiny is all about being at the right place at the right time.

Just Go With It

Monday, April 18, 2011

I'm not a big fan of Adam Sandler just because I don't like slapstick. Slapstick movies are such a waste of time. But since my officemate highly recommended Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston's Just Go With It (note: Hangover was bumped off his no.1 all time fave movies list daw lol), and well since my sister recommended it as well, I gave it a shot. And the verdict is...[enter drumroll please]...it was surprisingly nice and very entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thus, I'm highly recommending it too. Here's the thing, I'm not a fan of HBO, Cinemax or those movie channels on cable - that's because I don't like watching movies reruns - not unless it has been over a year or two at the very least. I don't save copies of downloaded movies in my laptop either - with the exception of two movies only, which are The Ugly Truth and The Proposal. Just Go With It is a feel good movie. It is not your typical in your face kilig kind of rom com movie. It is very subtle in the sense that the characters kinda grow on you. Case in point, I have 3 saved movies now in my laptop. Yeah...I liked it THAT much.

For my happy song of the moment, I'm giving a special shout out to Taio Cruz's Telling the World - from the movie soundtrack of Rio. Mmmmm... (in case you're wondering, that's me attempting to hum. Fail! Lol).

YES!

YES to...

* in no particular order

1. SERENITEA! I do not like toffee and/or caramel flavors but I surprisingly find myself loving Serenitea's Hokkaido topped with pearl and crystal (crystal = nata de coco). It's too close to call but I think Serenitea trumps Happy Lemon. I want to try the other Serenitea drinks. I'm going to try their Okinawa drink on my next visit.

2. VAMPIRE DIARIES!! Oh yes I'm going to get my weekly dose of Damon again. Whoopee. <3

3. REGULAR EXERCISE. Gotta start walking/running again. Tsk tsk. For starters, I've been taking the stairs at the office every morning. Mind you, that's all the way up to the 9th floor but of course only whenever I'm in flats hehe. The good news is I'm starting to have more endurance now. You should've seen me on my 1st try! Lol.

4. SPLURGES. Woot! woot! Thanks to my mom for buying spankin' new flats. Note to self: gotta invest in more comfortable shoes. Yes? Definitely yes.

And...thanks to my dad for agreeing to a brand new watch. I've been wanting one for a loooooong time. I don't have it yet though. I'm still waiting for the store to call me because they don't have available stocks anymore. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

5. ANGRY BIRDS. Yeah I'm a late bloomer; everyone's probably gone through all the Angry Birds series already. I'm playing Angry Birds Rio, it's their latest series and it's already at the top of the iTunes AppStore.

6. BULL MARKET. I hope the trend stays UP so that I can have more savings! Speaking of which, gotta cut on my expenses. I'm going to swear off Zara until month end hehe. My expenses in March skyrocketed. Yikes. So far though, I'm doing a much better job in April. On that note, yes to SAVINGS!

7. The Ugly Truth and The Proposal re-runs. I'm not a huge fan of re-runs but these are my 2 exceptions. :))

8. DASHING DIVA on a work day. Yes...on a workday. I can't bilibit myself! Lol.

9. TIPPING POINTS. And thus, NOT being afraid to speak my mind and finally be able to be true to my feelings once and for all - even if it means having to open up (read: confide and trust) in someone for the first time...

10. BEING THE BIGGER PERSON (figuratively speaking, well hopefully not literally haha). And that is...NOT stooping to the "babawness" slash "pettiness" of people and/or situations...I say no to bubble bursting. Go mind your own bubble, please! Ugh.

Lastly...YES to more POSITIVITY. Steady good vibes lang here on out...

P.S. And since it's a Thursday, YES to TGIF! :P

Junior Masterchef is soooo inspiring. Amazing kids, unbelievable even. It makes me want to quit my day job and start cooking full time. Yeah seriously.

Happy 2011!

Leap Year was surprisingly entertaining. Matthew Goode is so adorable!! Next to Ian Somerhalder (aka Vampire Diaries' Damon) and Richard Herrera (aka TARA's Team Richards), I heart him na.

Thank God for spur of the moment holidays. It's just exactly what we all need.

Murphy Strikes

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

CLASSES SUSPENDED?! And so Murphy decides to strike just when I was all set and ready for my (1) APMATH finals, (2) FINACC quiz, (3) FINACC final project paper, and (4) FINACC final project presentation. Stressful much? Although for item (2), I was just planning to wing it haha because I don't think I was able to completely absorb and understand the chapters by heart (and mind!). Lol. Nevertheless, I was fully prepared for today that was, that should have been "THE" day. Hindi ko alam if matutuwa ba ako or hindi. To think, I have been working my ass off over the weekend. Gosh I'm super psyched to get it over and done with already. I was supposed to just worry about FINACC finals next week and our group final paper in APMATH. Now that classes were suspended, I have 2 finals to worry about next week. Take note, that's on the same day and one after the other - literally magkasunod pa! And as for my presentation, it's of no use anymore. To think, I even volunteered! Minsan na nga lang ako magpaka-proactive, sablay pa. And! I have a nice powerpoint presentation prepared already. Tsk hassle. On the plus side, I "should" have a better chance of getting a kick ass grade in the finals - should being the operative word.

And oh, I hereby conclude that Murphy and I...we're not friends.
