Heroes: Someone's Bound to Explode Next Week

*SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 22 AHEAD*...you've been warned!

I've just seen the second to the last episode of Heroes. Really, when is anybody gonna explode?! Ha ha. Just kidding. I'm just really really excited about the finale! This show is just too unpredictable to...predict. Lol!

Last week, it looked like Peter was about to go off. But it wasn't at that street with a lot of cars like the one in his dreams so I kind of figured he would be able to control it but I wasn't 100% because it might go the other way. But then he ended up managing his newly acquired power. Now poor Ted is dead, thanks to our dear ol' Sylar.

Sylar ratted out Ted to the police. That agent, the blonde woman whose name escapes me right now, the one who worked with Matt from the FBI before, was the one who caught Ted. She saw Claire and Peter with him but Peter turned invisible (with Claire) and got away. Great. Now they may be wanted too. I'm not sure if the FBI woman got a good look at them though. I noticed that Peter was wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he exploded in his dream...

But now Sylar has got Ted's power also, and he did show the desire to explode. So now it could be either of them. This is so not gonna help Hiro.

Talking about that adorable Japanese dude, I'm glad that his father already showed his true colors. It was hard for Hiro going about his mission thinking that his dad doesn't believe in him. Now Mr. Nakamura taught his son how to wield the sword properly. There was a story told about this Japanese hero who asked a dragon to teach him how to use the sword. He became really good, the best, I think. So one day the dragon went to the hero's house and asked for the princesses' heart. The hero took his sword and ripped his own heart with it saying, "All my love is here. Take it." So he died.

It was a pretty sad story, but what troubled me more was that Mr. Nakamura said something about Hiro making that story an example for him or something. And Hiro said that yeah, if I wanna save the world, I would have to be strong enough to give up my own heart. t fully reminded me about Future Hiro, the uptight and serious one who doesn't seem to have a heart anymore. I don't want him to be like that! But then Ando ran out somewhere to go after Sylar alone which will probably get him killed, and that would result to Hiro turning into Future Hiro. NO!!!!

I also noticed that all the "heroes" are all meeting and going with each other already like Matt Parker with Bennett and then Jessica and D.L.. Will the heroes start uniting now? Will Bennett pull the trigger? What?

I think the comics of Isaac Mendez is coming true, really. Hiro may be following it, some may not. But it really looks like it's coming true. Does it say that Sylar will explode? I think it does... I'm not sure. But what about the paintings and Peter's dream?

AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! I can't wait another week! So many season finales this month! Smallville, SUpernatural, Ugly Betty, American Idol... I have to catch up with Lost and Desperate Housewives too in time for their finale. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Just let this summer class end!!!!!!

It's Sunday. Let Me Sleep.

First of all, Happy Mothers' Day to all your moms and all the mothers out there. Have a fun day.

So, I haven't slept yet. That's right. You can now imagine how humongous and dark my eyebags are. I look like a raccoon WITH a black eye. Imagine that. But anyway, since it's mommy's day, I decided to get out of bed and go with them to do whatever mom wants to do. I heard that it involves shopping, so yay for me! Dad said something about buying some clothes for summer... I don't get it. Summer only has 3 weeks left in it. But whatever. This is one of those very rare shopping moments, and I fully intend to take advantage of it. A couple of tops wouldn't hurt. I mean, nothing fits me anymore. Yes, I've eaten that much in the past two months.

Anyway, what occupies me this blisteringly hot time of the year? Well, besides summer class, or should I say, summer torture, I've found some great sites! Where you could earn money, that is. What, what were you thinking? Uh-huh.

So anyway, I really wanna save up because I wanna do something after graduation. True, that is still 2 years away. But I need all the time I could get.

What is it, you ask?

Well...

Okay, okay. I'll tell you.

You see, since two years ago, I've been wanting to do some volunteer work abroad. Not that we don't need volunteers here at home, we really do, but I just wanna do it abroad. Travel and help at the same time! I initially wanted to go to Africa and take care of the children there. I'm not going Angelina Jolie though and adopt all of the orphans there. Well, maybe if I've found my Brad by then I would... And if I've got as much money as she does. Which I doubt I would. Unless luck decides to take pity on me and make me win the lottery or something. So there. Then I found this great site: Global Volunteer Network. It offers volunteer work in a whole lot more other countries. I didn't know there were others that needed help. So now I'm torn between Africa and New Zealand. And Romania. I'd like to go there. Or South Dakota. Then after volunteering I could just drive all the way to Disneyland Florida! Woohoo! I know, it's all the way at the other side of the US, but I a girl can dream. The thing is, registration alone costs $350. That's like 16,500+ in Philippine Pesos. That's like, 4 months' allowance. 2 weeks of volunteering (I'm having NZ as example) costs $600. That's 28,314 - another 7 months' allowance. So we now have 11 months of allowance eaten up. I have to not spend anything for 11 months (which is impossible as I have to eat some time). I don't even know how much plane fare costs. I'd say, I need about $2500 all in all. Plane, fees, pocket cash. That's 117,975 php. Equivalent to 2 whole school years of allowance (I don't get allowance during summer, even now, when I'm suffering in school I don't get allowance. Argh. I'm on the verge of bankruptcy.) including birthday money and Christmas money and whatever money I get my hands on. I don't think it'll even be enough.

Thinking about it makes me depressed.

But anyway, I've found a few sites that I think can help me with my dilemma. (Click on the links to check them out)

1. MyLot - this is a discusion site. You post, you earn. Simple as that. Enjoyable too since you can talk about whatever you want. Just keep it nice and clean. People are really nice too. They pay through Paypal or E-gold.

2. SlashMySearch - this is a search engine. You search, you earn, and you give to charity too! It's that great. They pay in Paypal, E-gold, or checks.

3. TaketheInternetBack - this is one of those survey sites that mails you surveys and you just have to click a link to confirm it and then you earn. It's fairly easy and it's free to join so you won't lose anything. They pay through PayPal, E-gold and checks.

4. Hits4Pay - another one of those read emails to earn survey sites. Pretty much like TIB.

So there. That's what I've been up to recently. My favorite, of course, is MyLot and SlashMySearch. They're the most enjoyable ones!

Anyway, let's talk about TV. Heroes, most specifically. Who watches Heroes? Mmm-hmm. I see a lot of hands up. Isn't it great? It's just a really really amazing and exciting and unpredictable show. Keeps me on my toes all the time. And kind of hard to remember. The details, I mean. When summer classes are done, I'm gonna re-watch the whole season one. If they don't already kill Sylar by the last episode, that is. It's almost finale time, and I'm really really excited. What will Hiro do?!?! The poor little guy doesn't have a murderous bone in his body but the comic book is telling him that he has to be the one to kill Sylar! So what does that little girl have to do with this? I wonder when she'll come into action. Will Claire really leave for Paris? What if Peter explodes? And he will.

Speaking of those two... I know they're supposed to be uncle and niece in the show. But they just really really look cute together! Just don't mind the 12-year age gap. Here, take a look.




Aren't they adorable? Hollywood has pretty strange hook-ups after all. So why not them? In real life I mean. They seem to get along really well. But with me only two years older than Claire (Hayden Panatierre), Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) does seem really old. I mean, really old. He's 30. That's really old. But only because we're still in this age group. When we hit mid-twenties he'd be about just the right age. Ha ha!

And look how Peter Petrelli turned out. In the beginning, he is the most useless and pathetic character ever. Now I believe he has the coolest power! I think he's the most powerful of all. He can absorb powers without killing people. (Hiro's is the second coolest! Yatta! Lol!) I found out that he was also in Gilmore Girls, for quite a long time at that. Really, I have to watch Gilmore Girls now. All the cute guys are there. And Alexis Bledel is just beautiful and sweet. Really. I mean, does she look 25 to you? No. She can still pass for a high school freshman. I wish I looked that young! But Milo on the other hand, looked really weird before Heroes. Well, okay it wasn't that bad. But he looked so young when he was at Gilmore Girls! Check this out.


See? I think guys get better looking as they age. Okay, not all. Some. Most Hollywood guys. I mean, I saw McDreamy in this movie which title is unknown to me and he looked really young and frail. Look how he turned out now. Some guys just looks better when they hit 30. I wish all 30-year-old guys are like that. But alas, the normal people have beer bellies by then. But just look at Milo. I thought he was cute-ish before. Now I know it's a lot more than that. He's freakin' gorgeous!

I guess that's why they picked him to be the exploding one.

Anyway, it's WWE time! I wanna see the Undertaker and Batista hack on each other. Although the outcome of the match has already been spoiled for me, and it was a very disappointing one, still. It's a cage match! With Batista and the Undertaker!!!

Later!
