Shirt Street Wants to Help

Help us help others by getting one of our button pins.

A lot of donations have been given to aid those affected by Typhoon Ondoy but a lot more is needed especially medicine, toiletries, and antiseptics. Part of the proceeds of our button pins will either be used to buy these things or donated as cash to one of the charities. For only P20, you can make a difference in someone's health.

We will be at the Araneta Center before the finals games today, October 1, and on Sunday, October 4. If there is a third game, we will be there too. Just look for a person wearing any one of the Shirt Street shirts. For orders and other queries, please text Steph at +639178407280.

Fashionable Wrestlers

I am so spaced out today. I had a mental note to turn the TV on by 9PM because RAW would be on then. I did, but failed to switch the channel. So for about half an hour I was on my laptop with either Disney Channel or Cartoon Network on the background. Then I remembered that I was supposed to be watching something. The show was already half done. Lol. Sometimes I just don't know where my brain is.

Anyway, I'd just like to comment about wrestlers' attires. From time to time, they come out to the ring wearing regular clothes. Only a few of them look decent in them. I don't know why but some just look awkward in regular clothes. 

Here are my top 5 best dressed WWE Superstars (because all the Divas can dress):

1. Christian - looks good in formal, casual, and ring attire

2. The Miz - probably the most fashionable Superstar, hate his ring attire though

3. Batista - when he's wearing a suit

4. Triple H - looks awesome in jeans and a t-shirt

5. Edge - next to Miz, also has the best wardrobe

Special mentions:

Randy Orton - because he looks good in anything (and nothing probably)

John Morrison - when he's not wearing pants with fluffy cuffs

Chris Jericho - looks very respectable in a suit

Evan Bourne - looks nice in casual clothing

About the Cena's gauntlet match... Well, it was fine. Orton is really funny though. I don't know why but they've got sort of a weird bromance going on. Haha.

End of September. Time to Wake Up.

So it's the last day of September and I am still two posts away from my goal. Sigh. I know I can do this. I have lots of stuff that I wanna talk about but things just got in the way.

I am trying my best not to complain right now, not after the horrible thing that happened in this country. 

Last weekend, starting Friday night, it rained nonstop. We didn't really mind because it's been raining often the past couple of months. What we didn't anticipate was the amount of rainfall. There weren't strong winds, just a whole lot of rain. Come Saturday morning, people have started calling for help because it has started flooding and the water has started to enter their houses. Not long after, reports have been received that some houses have already been submerged completely in the floodwater. The occupants climbed onto their roofs to wait for rescue. It did not come until much later. Some have already died of the cold.

This catastrophe brought out such admirable traits from Filipinos. Instantly, donations started coming in. Those with resources such as rubber boats and big trucks and helicopters offered them for the rescue missions. Everyone else anticipated the needs and donated clothes and food. By Sunday morning, the ABSCBN foundations have gotten 20M pesos worth of goods and about 10M worth of cash. 

My family and I also pooled our resources to help some relatives affected by this. I'm still planning on giving to the charities and maybe also help out in packing relief goods.

I am one of the fortunate ones that live in a place without flooding problems. I am greatly thankful for it. And now I am feeling guilty that earlier this day I felt like I had the suckiest life on earth. I really tried my best to focus on what I have and how lucky I am that I have them. But sometimes it just... I don't know. Things get to me. No matter how hard I try to stay positive and be happy, things get to me later.

Oh well. Right now I'm over it and everything's fine again. I would like to move on and post about my favorite topics now. :)

The Once and Future Queen (Merlin S2E2)

Summary: 

A grief-ridden king of another place sends an expert assassin to kill Arthur because he "murdered" his son when in reality, his son challenged the young Pendragon and lost the fight. 

Arthur, only just realizing that people give him extra special allowances because he's royalty, decides to go on a hush-hush quest to prove his worth to himself and to everyone else. He lies about going on a rescue mission somewhere north, hired a scruffy-looking farmer and made him pretend to be a knight so he, Arthur, could joust in his place at the tournament without the public knowing it was him. He planned on revealing his identity in a moment of glory afterward.

For the duration of this charade, he lived with Gwen and as his normal pompous self. Irritations brewed and ended up in a confrontation every girl would have loved to be in.

The assassin almost succeeded in his mission. Thanks, to Merlin, he did not complete it.

Ah, they have started the Arthur-Guinevere love story. I think it's sweet, but I want more Merlin action. The series is named after him in the first place. Although he had a lot of scenes and as always, ended up secretly saving Arthur's life, he looked like such a background character in this episode.

Okay, maybe it's just for this one thing. After all, last week's episode was so kick-ass! 

I wonder how they will go about this love story. Hopefully they wouldn't just drop it and pick it up some time next year. 

How do you recover from kissing a prince?!

Okay, that was me channeling a friend obsessed with Arthur. Contrary to popular opinion (which consists of a couple of friends'), I think Gwen in this series is beautiful and she and the prince look good together.

The previous week's preview showed I think snippets of the season ahead. Lancelot was there! How will Arthur deal with his reappearance? And what would he do when Gwen lends her affections to this charming new knight? They did have a brief thing last season.

The Curse of Cornelius Sigan (Merlin S2 EP1)

Merlin's back and he's kicking ass!

Well, actually, he's having his butt worked of by Arthur but that's part of fulfilling his destiny. I do wish that he gets treated better though. Well, at least last season he was saved by the future king. That was so sweet.

In this episode, Merlin goes against an ancient and very powerful sorcerer who is said to be immortal. Gaius warned Uther of this but as usual, the king brushed it aside. Morgana's nightmares resume (actually, they never really went away) and Gwen gets a new look! They've stopped making her wear her hair in a bun. And I think her corset's a little tighter. Hmm.

Arthur again showcased his undying courage, which can sometimes be to the point of stupidity. He does love to risk his life for his people, which is good, but he needs to keep in mind that his father doesn't have a spare heir. Lucky him that Merlin's always there to get his back. Hopefully this wouldn't make him think that he's invincible since he always escapes fatal situations. 

Although I wouldn't complain if I get saved by Arthur. haha. 

As for Merlin, sigh. For someone with such a great destiny, he has no choice but to take abuse from Arthur and everybody else. Oh well. At least he knows that if he does his job right, one day he will get to the top.

Oh, but I don't want Arthur to stop being a bully. It may be annoying at times because Merlin deserves better but that would suck all the fun out of the show. And Arthur would lose his angas, which adds so much to his pogi points.

It's All in Our Heads (Supernatural S5 Ep2)

I was thinking just a few moments ago about how I miss the Sam and Dean of seasons 1 & 2. I'm not saying that the intensity of their relationship has degraded; it hasn't. It's just that I miss the fun times and even though Dean is still being a smart ass, it's not the same. Of course they had to take out all the lightness. I mean, hello, they're dealing with the Apocalypse now.

The eve of separation. I will need to find a song for this.

I found this as such a melancholic image at the end of episode 2, "Good God Y'all". the surroundings is beautiful and tranquil. It's a tiny speck of peace amidst the overall chaos. My mind cannot reach the depth of love these two have for each other, which is why I also cannot fathom the hurt Dean must have felt (and is still feeling) when Sam chose Ruby over him.

In this episode, the brothers still worked together but the strain is tangible. But at least they still did their jobs properly. They really are, as Sam said, "professionals". They defeated (or merely delayed?) War, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I wonder which one is next. I really liked (and am equally disturbed) by the premise of this episode: people kill each other because someone's messing with their heads. There really is no enemy. They are just made to see each other as such by some powerful man *cough cough hint hint*. Because we are so afraid, we just choose to attack and hopefully survive rather than analyze things to get the true picture. Whew.

I am glad that Ellen and Jo are back. At least there's someone else to talk to now that Bobby's all depressed in the hospital. I wonder what nerve he damaged when he stabbed himself in the stomach. Why could he not walk?

I'm eager to see the next episode just to know how they are going to deal with the brothers away from each other by choice. I'm also curious about Castiel's state. He's a fugitive of heaven. What is he exactly? 

All I'm hoping is that they tread carefully around God. I read a previous interview of Mischa Collins and he said that he thinks that they (the writers) should keep God abstract. I completely agree. This show has already reached new levels of awesomeness and I don't want it condemned as evil when it clearly battles it.

Halloween Lang Turns 4!

This is seven months late, but at least it's here. I would just like to greet my blog a happy happy fourth birthday! Man, I cannot believe that it has been four years since my first post. Four and a half, actually. Wow, it has been that long.

I kind of regret not starting my whole blogging life right here. I had 2 blogs before this (they actually overlapped for a few months). I guess this is where I really found home.

I'm planning on compiling everything into hard copy volumes. I think it'd be nice to have them hard bound by year. I will soon need an extra cabinet or something for this. Hmm.

Anyway, happy happy birthday Halloween Land!!! :)

Glee

Finally, a musical TV series! 

Before sounding off with grunts, I too have noticed the sudden upsurge of movie musicals (may it be on TV or in theaters) these past couple of years. I admit that I have seen all three HSMs (please put away the tomatoes), even the wannabe that Nickelodeon made (it was "edgy" compared to Disney's; it wasn't awful, just not that great). I'm not a big fan of this genre nor of the aforementioned movies, but I commend their dancing ability. Fine, the (selected) singing as well.

Glee, I am ashamed to say, at first seemed to me like a tremendously improved HSM crossed with Spectacular, the musical Nickelodeon made (this comment is based solely on the pilot episode). It is, of course, not even near that region; it's way way above. See, it has a show choir (same as Spectacular) that a super popular top jock (like HSM) joined where he is inadvertently paired with a "geeky" girl (again, like HSM). 

However, the similarities end there. Glee is just so much better and the singers sound at least 10 1/2 times more awesome than the fluffy teeny musicals. It's about a teacher who aims to revive the glory of the glee club because he was once a member of it. I love his passion for his students and man can he sing. 

The glee club only has six members: Finn (the jock), Rachel (the geeky girl with a superstar complex), Kurt (the metro guy), Mercedes (the Beyonce), Artie (the guy in the wheelchair), and Tina (the edgy Asian girl). 

The story starts with Mr. Schuester calling for auditions for the glee club under the new name New Directions. Only the five came; Finn was blackmailed into joining after Mr. Schuester overheard him singing in the locker room. At first he was obviously unwilling, but he remembered how he loved singing as a child and this was his only outlet for that. As all stereotypical jocks go, his teammates ridicule him for doing something they think is unmanly - and also hate that he now saves "losers" rather than take part in bullying them.

Rachel, on the other hand, loves to sing. She just loves it. She makes daily recordings of herself singing and posts it on her MySpace page. She is laughed at because of this and always gets some sort of drink splashed on her face and clothes.

As for Mr. Will Schuester, he is possibly the best teacher in the world. However, his life isn't so perfect. He has a psycho wife who would've qualified as a gold digger if only Will had any gold. She allows herself to have a room dedicated to her crafts (literally arts and crafts stuff) while Will gets an earful night after night because he's pursuing his passion by directing the glee club. He is given an ultimatum: the kids or his family. The wife discloses her pregnancy.

The show choir, after encountering compatibility problems and learning of their teacher's pending departure, finally got together and worked harmoniously, thus producing a perfectly wonderful number. Mr. Schuester, on his way out, heard an amazing sound emanating from the auditorium. He peeked inside and discovered that it was his group performing. With pride that could make people cry showing on his face, he applauded them and said, "From the top."

It was an overall heartwarming pilot episode. Some say it's underwhelming because they were so hyped up by the teasers. For me, it was just right. This show is filled with colorful characters that there is no chance for boredom to ever slip in. I'm really excited to see what would happen next. I'm especially looking forward to their performances.

The Only Straight Edge World Heavyweight Champion

WWE is blurring the lines between admirable and despicable by portraying CM Punk, the Straight-Edge Superstar, as a heel.

To be fair to him, Punk really does the whole preachy character quite well. I've become irritated by him when at first he was one of my favorites. Well, alright, I still think he's good, but he keeps on saying the same things over and over! Will someone please write him some new material? At least use different words even when stating the same idea.

What concerns me is this: Punk's clean lifestyle is the perfect thing to advocate now that they are making the shows "more PG". However, because they pitted him against Jeff who, as much as I love him, is indeed a not-so-good role model outside of the ring but possesses a charisma that Punk obviously lacks, kids would predictably take Jeff's side and view Punk as a villain along with his exemplary lifestyle. He (Punk) would now be classified as a killjoy along with their parents who are probably reprimanding them for watching such violence, even if we all know it's staged.

I love WWE and I don't want them to one day be shunned and protested against by concerned parents. I also do not want them ignoring their social responsibility by shining a negative light on someone who brings forth something worth emulating especially by kids. I grew up watching WWE but back then, the storylines didn't incorporate the wrestler's personal lives so I didn't know if one of them was a drug abuser or what. It's more dangerous now because children might not see the difference between the character/persona and the real person of these athletes.

Jeff is a tremendous wrestler and should be looked up to as such. I admire him for being able to kick the habit for over a year and I hope he could keep it up longer. It's just that his personal life gets broadcasted all over the Internet and even on TV and these news almost always put him in a bad light. His recent arrest, for example. If these things were kept from impressionable people, then I wouldn't care whatever he does because he would only be seen by the kids as a wonderful artist and a talented performer. I believe that these are the characteristics that he embodies the most and I'm a fan of his because of this.

As for Punk, he deserves better marketing. True, Smackdown needs main eventers so they are building him up. But I think this strategy is actually breaking him down. Okay, so he followed through with his promise of recapturing the title, which is supposed to add to his credibility. But he does not (yet) have that certain quality that the best heels, e.g. Edge and Jericho and Orton, have. So far I don't think this villainy is working for him. I don't know. Maybe I'm mistaken. I mean, making him look like the bad guy means making staying sober and clean attributes of a bad guy. So what exactly is WWE contributing to society?

In the End, There Will be Zombies

The End

Dean refuses Sam's efforts to help him battle the Devil, and then wakes up to find himself five years in the future, in a wasteland where Lucifer has begun his endgame by unleashing a virus that transforms humans into zombies.

This is so AWESOME! I love zombie movies (although I do not want to be one myself), and zombies plus Supernatural? Man. I can't wait to see this episode! 

I know, it's gonna be a bit difficult to watch since the brothers will be separated again (I really miss their fun bro-mance times) but hey, what better to bring them together than some good old zombie-killing spree right?

Grab some vinyl discs and a cricket bat now!

Payback (WWE Hell in a Cell 2009)

It's only a fortnight away. 

Someone has to pay for that abominable decision.

I do kind of agree with another blogger who said that having more than one Hell in a Cell in one show (or in one year even) diminishes the impact of the match style. Personally, I've kind of reserved this kind of match for the Undertaker only (Kane, too, a little bit). I mean, they're supposed to be "evil" and all (which Undertaker is NOT, even though he says that he's after people's souls. Haha.) so the name fits, right?

Okay, enough of that. 

Cena vs. Orton in a Hell in a Cell match, a rematch for the WWE Championship

I did like their match at Breaking Point. I am happy for John, I really am, but I would have liked Orton to hold the title a little longer. He is a really awesome heel. And unlike the others who utter the same lines time after time (think Punk and Jericho, although Y2J doesn't bug me as much), Orton has this general villain feel that is so natural it looks effortless. It's like I can't remember a time when he wasn't a heel (when was that again?). He is becoming Edge-like, a perpetual "bad guy" who is ultimately effective he can't be anything else. But the great thing about Orton is that he is not really a villain. He is more like an anti-hero. He saves us from too much John Cena (lol. I still *heart* Cena, mind you).  

I'd really like to see what these two will come up with inside that huge structure.

DX vs. Legacy in a Hell in a Cell match

Although I hated seeing a legend tap out to newbies, I think it's great that Ted and Cody have finally extracted themselves from Randy Orton's shadow. I really think these two guys are talented. I mean, it's in their blood!

As for this match, well... I don't know what they're gonna do. If Legacy loses, then that historic win would have been for naught. If DX loses, then their "toughest tag team" reputation, which was deteriorated by the first tap out, would be completely ruined. All I can think of as a decent outcome is a disqualification for outside interference or something. Wait, they'll be in a cell. What the heck. Just make the cell collapse then.

Punk vs. The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match for the World Heavyweight Championship (right?)

It is totally impossible for Punk to win this unless Teddy Long helps him out again. Oooh, I wonder if Taker has a new submission move?

I know they're trying to build Punk up. I do think they were successful in doing that during the Jeff era, but come one, pit him against the Undertaker? Seriously?

Since Batista will now be working Friday nights, he might take Taker out of Punk's hands. Better yet, have him feud against some new guy. Wait, Jack Swagger's in Raw, right? That would've been a good match. Swagger's talented and they're about the same size. I doubt it'd be Morisson since he's still got that pest Ziggler to deal with (teach him how to impromptu; have Edge do it while he's recuperating). Who else... Y2J and Big Show have Mark Henry and MVP. Mike Knox? Finlay? Ooh, that dude Drew McIntyre? But he's already got R-Truth. Well, Matt Hardy's available. He's more of Punk's match than Batista's but he does need building up so why not?


16 days to go...

Semi-freaked

I'm in a job interview. Well, waiting for it, actually. I'm half-freaked, half-sleepy.

I have no video portfolio to speak of. All I am able to submit was that dancing cow video. Hey, at least that tvc was nominated for best tvc at AdSpeak '09. It was one heck of a cow dance...

Oh, and I also gave her a dvd of the Cook-Archuleta concert.

I hope this works out!

Somewhat Disjointed Thoughts While Watching WWE Breaking Point

First match: The Big Show and Chris Jericho vs. MVP and Mark Henry in a tag team match for the Unified Tag Team Championship

I'm glad whoever is responsible for the entrance music made a better remix of Jericho's and BIg Show's music. 

They allowed win via pinfall. Jericho and Show won. Show big right hand to Henry's jaw.

Match 2: The Miz vs. Kofi Kingston for the United states Championship

Miz delivered his usual pre-match speech in French. Hehe.

There were about what, a dozen near falls. Adik. The ref's hand must really hurt right now. Btw, Miz showed significant improvement. Good for him. 

Kofi wins via Trouble in Paradise and pinfall.

Hey, I thought ALL matches are submission matches?

Match 3: DX vs. Legacy in Submissions count anywhere (now the fun begins!)

Montreal screamed "You screwed Bret!" as DX performed their usual spiel. 

Really funny. 

Triple H acknowledged the crowd, then pointed at Shawn and said, "It's all his fault!" 

Haha. He kids. But they're both part of it. It's a long time ago. The funny thing is, after that, everybody cheers for them anyway. 

Everybody's still screaming "You screwed Bret" as the match went outside to somewhere else in the arena. 

Confusing. They're still bitter about the montreal screwjob but they cheer DX, and they boo Legacy. So what the hell do they want?

Triple H tapped out once on Cena. Did not like that. Pinfall is much more dignified. But as I said in a previous post, I believe Cena when he says he has no breaking point.

Micahels locked into a Figure 4 around a post by Cody Rhodes along with Ted DiBiase with the Million Dollar Dream. Triple H rolls out onto the ramp but was too late. Shawn tapped out.

I HATE it. DX is the best. Well, maybe they're building up these two. They really are talented boys. They are. But still.

It's DX! Two legends in one awesome team! Why would they want to take away from their impenetrable rebellious image?

That was a good, long match though. 

Match 4: Kane vs. The Great Khali in a Singapore Cane Match

These two have been at it since... I don't know. Can't remember. I think it's really awesome though, with all those singapore canes. I would really really like to see another Punjabi Prison match though. Batista Spider-man-ing out of that bamboo cage was absolutely magnificent. 

Khali + singapore cane = JUST RUN AWAY!

Kane from the top rope with a cane: an uncommon sight. 

Khali's little bro interferes by smashing a singapore cane over Kane's back. Did not do anything.

Kane chokeslams Khali and wins via pinfall. I don't know how he can chokeslam that mammoth of a guy.

Intermission: Eve interviews CM Punk; Jimmy Wang Yang interrupts by switching off the light just as the two were talking about the Undertaker. Hahaha. So freakin' funny.

Match 5: Christian vs. William Regal for the ECW Championship

I find William Regal extremely annoying. He doesn't even have any redeeming characteristic. Nothing. So he was the 2008 King of the Ring. So what. It's late 2009. Get over it.

Christian receives a super warm welcome from his countrymen. 

Vladimir Kozliv and Ezekiel Jackson get banned from ringside. I'm going to miss them.

After successfully countering several Killswitch attempts, Regal got nailed by one in the end and lost.

Match 6: John Cena vs. Randy Orton in an I Quit Match for the WWE Championship

In terms of popularity, these two are at par with each other. The boos and the yeys for each are more or less equal, which I think is great. 

This is a good match up. I am genuinely worried for both of them. They both have never quit before, but based on the two I Quit matches that I remember, it WILL get ugly. I have seen Cena looked all smashed up but Randy... He is indeed sturdy but I hope he survives this.

I think the hardest part here is having to talk while cringing in pain. Props for being able to have presence of mind under such pressure. 

Randy has handcuffs! Haha. Kinky, guys. 

"Do you wanna quit, Cena?" the referee asked.

"NO!" John spat into the mic with extreme annoyance. 

Randy's taking the handcuffs off. What do you have in mind, Orton?

Oh, he cuffed John's hands together. And now he hung him on a ring post. 

"You ain't passing out on me, boy!" Randy screamed at John as he splashed water on his face.

"Do you quit, Cena?" the referee asked.

Cena spat water on Randy's face as an answer.

Now Randy's spanking Cena's completely exposed midsection with a singapore cane. This is bordering on torture.

Ohh. Randy got hit with a Betlog buster (low blow)!

Now John is handcuffed to a turnbuckle. Come on, guys. I want you two chasing each other around.

My skin crawls every time Cena lets out a cry of agony.

Randy missed a steel chair hit. Cena slammed him onto the hard floor, took the key, and now Randy is handcuffed to John!

Cena gained momentum, got back into the ring, attempted an Attitude Adjustment then BAM. RKO.

STF!!!!!! While handcuffed!!!!! Randy quits!

The Champ is BACK!!!!!

I can't believe Randy quit though. Well, of course one of them had to. I still think he's good. Good heel (oxymoronic much?). Great match!

Cena celebrates by standing on a second rope and screams, "I DID NOT QUIT!" 

Hahaha. Yes, John, we know. The marks on his abdomen look really painful. 

What happens to Orton now? I wonder what he's got planned for a rematch.

Match 7: CM Punk vs. The Undertaker in a submission match for the World Heavyweight Championship

The Anaconda Vice is no match for Hell's Gate.

The Undertaker has never submitted and he never will. NEVER.

Here comes the Undertaker!!!

"He doesn't seem intimidated at all," said one commentator.

"Sometimes you can't judge a book by its cover," replied the other.

Everybody is intimidated by the Undertaker.

After a foiled attempt at an Old School. the Undertaker recovered and employed an out-of-nowhere Hell's Gate. Punk taps out!

Ah, great. Teddy Long brings up the banishment of the Hell's Gate. Match resumes. I want to KILL Teddy Long. 

PUTANGINA! ANOTHER MONTREAL SCREWJOB! TAKER DID NOT TAP!

Watching Smackdown 09.13.09

Yes, WWE has resorted to schoolyard name calling.

First, they started calling Chris Jericho "Christina" and the Big Show... I forgot. It has something to do with his size. Well, Shaq started this and I definitely am NOT loving it. It's so childish and immature. But just now, the new Intercontinental Champion John Morrison gave Dolph Ziggler a cute new nickname: Mr. Ziggles. I know that it's as bad as Christina, but it just sounds so adorable! Mr. Ziggles! A huge fluffy teddy bear comes to mind.

Really. This going PG business is starting to chip away the Superstars' tough image. Not ideal. I miss the Attitude Era.

Okay, I would just like to say that if Michelle McCool were really injured, she wouldn't be wearing heels that high with her crutch. In fact, she wouldn't be wearing heels at all. Come on, if they're gonna fake it, at least be realistic.

Also, his accent may somewhat be cute, but Drew McIntyre is starting to annoy me. I'm happy for him for getting all that air time though.

Ah, I remember screaming myself hoarse during Matt Hardy's entrance when Smackdown came here 3 years ago. I seriously am concerned about his injury. Did his intestines really explode?! How painful could that have been?! And how did they fix that? Did the doctors stitch every bit together? I'm starting to picture a Jeepers Creepers-like thing. I'll stop now.

Right now, Matt's in a submission match with Punk, kind of like a taste of what could happen tomorrow. I wonder how he (Punk) could wrestle with a tongue stud. I mean, doesn't it hurt when he gets slammed around? What if it suddenly came off and he swallowed it? Ouch.

Yes, Figure 4 by Matt Hardy. Good.

Ah, crap. He made Matt tap. I don't know what that submission move is called. It's an arm behind the head thing. Looks way less painful than a Figure 4.

Hahaha. Undertaker stole the championship belt! The music started and the lights shut off. When it came back up, Punk's empty handed and 'Taker's at the entrance holding it up.Panalo.

Btw, I love his new outfit. Black sleeveless leather trench coat, kinda like that guy the Hurricane's (what's his non-superhero name again?). The Undertaker's is way cooler though. It has big dull mean-looking studs aroud the top (nech and shoulders and a bit of the chest area). Really nice. Although he looks like he aged about 5 years. What happened? I mean, he isn't 50 yet (he has at least a couple more years), so why does he look so old?

I've Finished!

AH!

I never felt this good about finishing an EPH assignment. I don't know why. I just feel burned out. I know I shouldn't be. I mean, even though I take roughly an assignment a day, it should not be stressful since it's supposed to be part time and I don't do anything else that's rigorous. But somehow I just feel tired. Maybe I need a couple days of writing break.

On other matters, I am now on my 386th post. It is not that I lack things to accomplish, but I would like to set a goal during my writing break. (Okay, it could be a couple of days, but it might turn into a week. Who knows?) I would like to get to 400 posts by the end of the month. I have not posted this often in a long time so it's gonna take some planning and stuff but I'm gonna do this. 

Next step: 500 posts by the end of the year!!!

I can do this!

Someone is Bound to Break at Breaking Point

WWE Breaking Point airs tomorrow, September 14, 2009 at 8AM and 9PM on JackTV here in the Philippines.

Yes, we are truly lucky to not have to pay a separate fee for this potentially awesome PPV. I *heart* JackTV. I really do.

I can't wait until tomorrow. This is the first of its kind - a brand new PPV that has all matches as a submission match. This is going to be really interesting and exciting. I would really love to see the match of Cena vs. Orton, and the Undertaker vs. CM Punk. 

I have seen Cena in at least one I Quit match. He does not quit. I believe it when he says that he doesn't have a breaking point. As for Orton... Although I would like to believe that he is a chicken in a tough guy suit, he has held on to that WWE Championship for a long time, even though mostly through outside interference.  He even legally defended the title during that series of matches with Cena at SummerSlam. So I'm gonna give him props for that. 

As for 'Taker and Punk's match, I just really would like to see Punk tap out to that submission move of 'Taker. I cannot remember the name just now, but it is brutal. I am still peeved about that stunt Punk pulled last week imitating Jeff, face paint and all. I know he's only made to do that by the writers, but still. Superstars have enough creative freedom to say no or at least do the deed less despicably. But I guess they really wanna develop Punk's heel character. Okay.

Since there's less than 23 hours left in my waiting, I will now give the topic a rest until after I've seen it. :)

Opera Mini

I just discovered the use of this application on my mobile phone about a week ago. I cannot believe that I could have been using my phone to go online all this time. I mean yeah, I did use the wap thing but that only allows wap sites. But Opera Mini is a web browser! I can go to any website! I'm doing it now!

Besides the small screen that makes it a bit uncomfy to navigate, it's really handy!

The 5th Year Begins

The pilot episode of Supernatural's fifth season took me on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Of course, I was seriously excited to see it. I waited almost 4 months for it! That may not sound like such a long time, but for one who considers SPN as the highlight of her every week, it seemed like forever. Call me a loser without a life if you want to; I don't care because that is just the way it is for me. 

Since it is the first episode, it aroused a lot of questions.

1. What happened to Sam? Why is he all normal? Where did all the black-eyed, blood-drinking go? Is it somewhere laying dormant inside him? Or - heaven forbid - will he end up as the devil's vessel?! As if the rift between the brothers is not deep enough.

2. As much as I rejoice over the fact that Castiel is indeed alive, I'd like to know how that happened. Chuck (the prophet) said that he exploded "like a water balloon of chunky bits" or something to that effect. Last season, he did mention that he had healing abilities. But the finale had him facing archangels alone, and we all know that only angels can kill other angels, and what he faced are archangels. So how come he's alive?

3. This may or may not be a crucial issue but I just would like to know how Bobby got possessed by a demon. After he stabbed himself to get rid of the pest hitching a ride in his body, I got the impression that he will more or less spend the whole season in that hospital bed or somewhere else being immobile. I do not support this. I want Bobby out and fighting with the boys until the end.

For now, those are the ones I can think of. The thing worth noting here is how the good side and the bad side ask for consent. See, the devil is also an angel so he needs a vessel to be able to move around on Earth. Michael the Archangel also needs one, which is Dean. The vessels need to first give the go signal before they can settle inside them. 

The angels asked for consent in such a brutal manner that one may think twice about categorizing them under "good". Zachariah broke Sam's leg and took away his lungs, rendered Bobby immobile from the waist down, and gave Dean stage 4 stomach cancer, just to push him to say yes. It was almost heartless but at least they were up front and honest with their motives. They clearly stated that the fight should start right away so Michael urgently needs his vessel. They will go to any lengths to get it and win.

The devil, on the other hand, appeared as an innocent-looking lady who put on a whole "I'm misunderstood" drama and utilized the misfortunes of the man (the vessel) to convince him to give his consent. How sly and cunning and oh so detestable yet effective. He/It got a yes while the angels failed miserably.

I am in no mood to delve into a theological reflection about this one, although I would like one of my Theo profs to watch this whole series and give me commentaries and stuff. It would be so cool if he used this as a material in class. 

The most memorable scenes:

Becky, the webmistress of Morethanbrothers.com --> a website dedicated to slash Sam/Dean fanfiction

Dean: A life as an angel condom? I'll pass. 

"We can't go back to the way we were. I don't think I can trust you anymore." ~Dean to Sam

This was the final, most heartbreaking dialogue in this episode. I sat stunned for a bit. I mean, SPN is distinguished by the strong brotherhood of these two characters. They are the epitome of bro-mance. I just cannot imagine the show if that was taken away. 

Don't give up on Sammy, Dean.

Writing-Induced Weird Nap-Dream

Awhile ago while I was struggling through the last 200 or so words of my last Essays.ph assignment, I decided to rest my eyes for 5 minutes. As a result of three more self-snoozing, I fell asleep.

I awoke in a dream. I knew I was in class but my classmates and I were sitting on a bed - my bed. It wasn't my room though. We were all chatting casually and I did not realize that our professor was in our midst until he let himself be known. Lo and behold, it was none other than Robert Pattinson in full Edward Cullen regala!

First off, I would like to emphasize the fact that I am not a fan of his. Well, okay, I did like him as Cedric. Just that. Okay, back to the dream.

So we were talking about something important and it turned out to be instructions for our

final project. It was a research paper. The topic, as Prof. Cullen articulated, was "Why Vampires are Awesome."

We were asked to research everything about vampires, from the iconic Dracula to the cult favorite Buffy the Vampire Slayer. From there we were to choose figures that uphold the good vampire name and argue why they deserve to represent the whole, uh, species. We were also tasked to criticize ones that tarnish the image of these cunning creatures like the character of Leslie Nielsen in Dracula: Dead and Loving It. 

It was overall an extremely biased assignment, but we had to do it to graduate or something. After one last glittering glimpse of our disco-ball-turned-undead instructor, I woke up.

This is by far the weirdest dream I had in the midst of finishing an Essays.ph assignment. There was one involving Gerard Butler, a fishing boat, and clingy mollusks, but the details are too foggy to remember now. Writing for them really does squeeze out my creative juices, even while I am unconscious.

Jeffrey, I Hate It That You Left

"Yours truly, Jeff Hardy;

Ours truly, this life."

~Jeff Hardy, Smackdown Sept. 4, 2009 episode

He did really leave. For a moment I thought he changed his mind and signed another contract. I expected him to just disappear after SummerSlam. But he showed up the week after in SmackDown and I was ecstatic. It turned out that it was just a closure thing, to say goodbye. I don't know; I'm torn between wanting to see him just a little longer and just abruptly cutting him out like yanking off a bandage quickly.

Anyway, it was a pretty nice goodbye. I did not get emotional though. I thought I would have. I mean, I cried when Rick Flair left and I wasn't even a big fan of his. Well, I guess it's because he's a legend. But Jeff is well on his way to becoming one, if only he stays a little longer next time. But no, I'm not going to join any petition asking him to come back. He needs to relax and regroup. After everything that happened to him last year, he deserves a good, long rest. Of course, he should get himself checked out. All those Swanton Bombs from extreme heights surely had some significant impact on him. How can he not have broken bones?!

So SmackDown lost another Superstar. But The Undertaker is back. Right now, he alone is the reason I watch SD. Oh, scratch that. Him and John Morrison. That guy is becoming really really good. His match with Rey Mysterio where he won the Intercontinental Championship was seriously acrobatic! I think they're building him up to be the next Jeff. Hmm. He is skilled enough but he lacks the charisma. I don't know, Jeff has this thing that just makes you pay attention to him. Is it the hair? I don't know. I miss him though.

My Ultimate Dream

is to watch The Undertaker win LIVE at WrestleMania.

Preferably from the front row. 

I'm watching ECW right now and they showed an "encore presentation" of the Taker vs. Michaels match last WM25. It was one of the awesomest matches I have ever seen. Just watching a montage of it brought tears in my eyes (just a teeny weeny bit anyway). Taker is just... awesome AND legendary (move over, Barney Stinson!).

I was fortunate enough to see live performances of Taker, once when I was about 6 or 7 and the second just three years ago. Man, the uproar during his entrance was totally deafening. I screamed myself hoarse. Even though I was up in Upper B (or was it Upper A? Where the hell did I keep those tickets?) and the guy beside me smelled like garbage, it was like those slow-mo movie moments when something special was happening. It's the Undertaker right there, only a few feet (and levels) away. 

Sigh. Well, this is one of those times when I'm sad because I have nobody who feels as strongly as I do about this. I can't share the glee of his return with anyone. I screamed like an adolescent at a boyband concert when he returned at SummerSlam. But I have no one who gets just how I felt. For them, it's just... I don't know, just some wrestler. But he's not. He's iconic. He's The Undertaker.

Okay, I'm ending this rant. I have five more articles to do! I don't wanna do it anymore. Ugh. But I need this. 

BTW, ECW's Christian is just so... He's like a body-slamming boy next door. He has the cutest smile and he's just so charming. Sigh. Fangirl sigh.

Which One Was It Again?

So tonight I've got such a craving for just a wonderful movie to watch in bed. And guess what I wanted to watch?

A good old HORROR FILM!

I was actually planning on watching a movie called Book of Blood last week, but I'm on a tight budget so I thought I'd wait another week, maybe some extra cash would come in. But then I checked and now my favorite mall theater isn't showing it anymore.

So since I have the Internet connection all to myself tonight, I decided to search for recommended horror films. Of course, the first place I looked was HMAD. I missed going to that blog!

Anyway, it's kinda overwhelming, the number of movie reviews on there. I really wanted to read all of them and decide which ones to see but I think I've destroyed my eyes during my writing spree last night. So I looked for a short cut and landed on his "recommendations" page. It's where people can post their recommended movies that the HMAD guy can maybe review later.

So I was scrolling down and taking note of some interesting ones when I came across some titles that are very familiar to me. Then I remembered that I've seen them but can't quite recall what the story was about. I just know that I liked one and the other I didn't 

I don't know. Have I seen too many horror films? I'm even trying to recall all the titles of the movies we saw in horror film class (this is so far the only class that makes me miss going to school). I wanna re-watch them, except for that last one. And I also know that I have a stock of horror films somewhere but I don't know where I stored them. Where are they?

Okay, so right now I'm torn between wanting to go to sleep and searching for those flicks...

This is NOT Bumming

It's been almost 5 months since I've officially graduated. No, I still don't have a "regular" job. However, the t-shirt business is keeping me busy, even if it seems to my parents that I'm just lazing around all day in my room.

It annoys me that they think that. I mean, yeah, I do want a regular paying job because my money at hand is dwindling down to nothing. I'm estimating that my current fund will last me at most another month and a half. It's not like I'm not trying; I've applied online for 10 jobs and I've applied for another 10 earlier this year in our school's job fair. Sometimes it frustrates me that none of them are calling. I mean, I read and re-read my resume and it's not bad at all. I don't know what's wrong with it.

On the other hand, I'm totally having fun with Shirt Street. Yeah, it's hard doing online marketing (a concept my parents cannot grasp as legit), and since we're new and the market is more or less saturated, we have to go extra lengths to promote our site and products. We always have new ideas, but sometimes you just run out of those and you just stare at a wall, wishing for a miraculous sales spike. 

Last night, thinking of new ways to market even robbed me of my early-sleep plan. But it's okay. This is experience, something very valuable to all the potential employers out there. I've even started (self-) studying again. That's a big thing for me, one who thinks reading textbooks should only be done for school. Lol. Now I NEED to. I will have to raid my mom's bookshelf later. 

Still, it's sad that when my parents, and sometimes even my brother, sees me in front of my laptop when they get home, they think that I just wasted the day sleeping and idling by on Facebook. Grr. 

According to Facebook...

This is the description of my perfect guy:



Your perfect match is someone who is witty, outgoing and enjoys life. This person is the life of the party, has a great sense of humor and lights up the room with their smile. They communicate well and have a great connection with friends, family and their co-workers. Everyone is drawn to them and there is that special shine that you see in their eyes that tells you that they don't take one minute of life for granted. This person will sweep you off your feet, tell you exactly how they feel and are not shy to hug or kiss you in public. The top traits they are looking for in a mate is someone who is open to new ideas, is eager to live life to the fullest, will openly adore them and is confident.They love adventure, the outdoors and animals and if they discover you are interested in something, they will love that too! They are keen to get to know you and will quickly fall madly in love you for your personality, your smile and even just the sound of your voice.


It's kinda scary though, because it's soooo accurate! (Besides the outdoorsy part. I'm ok with a homebody like me.)

On the 4th Day...

I went shopping.

Well, first I woke up late again. Ugh. I really should be asleep by now 'coz they said we're gonna go somewhere at 10AM tom so I really should be ready by then. But anyway.

So first we went to a camera shop so my brother could ask around. Then we went to this totally awesome Greenhills-like electronics building. I got a 500GB external hard drive that's only like, 3x5 inches! And it only cost as much as a low-end mobile phone! It even has a 3-year warranty. And it's white so it looks good with my laptop. :) (I should now definitely get a case that's transparent) I admire my cousin's bargaining skills. I don't even know how to haggle in my own language let alone theirs. And they're both so funny! If only we can understand each other 100% of the time, then we'd have a marvelous time.

After that we went to a fancy mall and looked at all kinds of crap. Didn't buy anything there. Well, okay, we did buy a couple of authentically-Italian-sounding pizza. They were too thin! Even thinner than Shakey's thin crust! Totally not worth the price. But the buffalo wings were pretty good. The sauce didn't deserve to be called spicy/hot but well maybe for them that's already hot. People usually underestimate my brother and my standard for hotness (in food). 

We brought the food home to dad (my aunt was somewhere else). We watched basketball while eating. I'm beginning to be a sports fan because of that. Anyway, after a little while, our cousins dropped us off a night market. They didn't come with us because they observed that we don't buy anything if they're with us. Which is true. It's just really uncomfortable when people check out what you buy. I don't want them to see all the crap I bought.

So now I'm home after all that walking. My back hurts and my hip hurts but it's all good. I can't wait to try on the clothes I bought. I'm so glad they have my size here. I just really wish they do too in shoes. We went to a lot of shoe store and the biggest shoe size I've seen is size 7! Goodness, they have freakishly small feet.

Anyway, I gotta get back to playing online poker now. Lol. :)

Today

Well, I got up a little late (well, for my usual standards, 8:45AM is EARLY. But of course, here it's like, midmorning already). I waited for my brother to knock and drag me downstairs for breakfast. Figured that he would while I was still in the bathroom but no. Then while I was taking a bunch of quizzes a knock did come but it was from my aunt. She said a whole buncha stuff. The only thing I got from it was "Come with me, we're going ___ (basta somewhere)." So I went.

Turned out she wanted me to eat breakfast in the car on the way to the market. As in a wet market. I've only been to a palengke back home like, once or twice, and that was when I was much much younger. But the palengke here is awesome. It's super clean and doesn't smell and there are all kinds of crap!

Okay, if my friends are reading this, they should be excited because I bought them all kinds of crap. Seriously. This country manufactures crap like no other. The crap I'm referring to are cute semi-useless things. They have tons of stuff here and fancily-packaged food and stuff. Seriously. We even found black cotton swabs!!! That's actually HELLO KITTY black cotton swabs! I really don't know why they love Hello Kitty so much. That kitten's everywhere.

Anyway, tonight my bro and I walked all the way to a McDonald's nearby. He figured that since there's a McDonald's there, there could be a good place to look around in. Turns out there wasn't so we walked back and on the way checked out a public park. He couldn't resist a restaurant and ordered a beef meal. People here are big on vegetables. That doesn't surprise me because fruits and vegetables here taste so AWESOME! They're all so fresh and organic. It's like their soil has supernatural abilities or something.

So anyway, we got home at around 10:30. Kinda late. Had to dash up here to my room to prevent them from seeing a couple of breads we bought. We have to sneak food in here because my aunt is such a health buff. She doesn't believe in soda drinks (but she doesn't drink water! what kind of health buff is that???) and of course junk food. And since she cooked us a delicious dinner it's kinda offensive to her to see us with more food, as if she doesn't feed us enough. She does. She stuffs us with all kinds of food. If only those aren't perishable I would definitely take a whole lot of them back to my mom and my friends. They're so fancily made! Like this morning she gave me this pao made of rice and inside are some beef bits I think and chopped veggies. Really good. She said my grandma loved eating that. And also we always have soy milk. There's instant coffee but she buys us soy milk. It's good.

So okay, I've forgotten to bring the camera with me everytime we went out today so there aren't any pics yet. Oh and I forgot to mention that we went to a mall called Sogo and ther's a Hermes and Chanel and Louis Vuitton store there but we didn't go in 'coz we're dressed like crap and my hair is messily tied up because I didn't wash it this morning since it's cold and all. We wanted to take pictures though at the outside of the LV building but... it's too fancy. 

Fine. I'm going to bed now. Or a little later. Basta. 'Til next post.

 

Anti-Cola

They also don't allow carbonated drinks and candies and junk food. No wonder my aunt is one hot 60-something year old. Seriously, she could pass for a 40-something-year-old. I wonder how they deal with emotional emergencies. Drink a huge vat of tea maybe?

I'd pick all-in-fat ice cream for crap moments anytime. I can always detox later.

So, second day's over. No video conference calls yet. I don't know where my friends are and what they're doing. I hope they're having a great summer. I don't wanna spoil that with my whining.

Today I watched the Yankees lose, threw up, washed plates, threw up some more, went to a chiropractor and had my appendix creamed, went out to buy water (I really can't believe they don't drink water; there was a pitcher of water we found beside the thermos and it had white moldy stuff floating on it - how long has it been sitting there not being drunk?), went to a sort of night market/peryahan thing, sneaked in a bar of Snickers, and now I'm here filling up what disc space I have. 

I'm gonna try to find stuff to bring home to my friends. There are all sorts of crap here.

I don't have pictures yet...

Okay, I think I'll watch some shows and movies tonight. Started reading Watchmen though. The movie keeps flashing in my head.

They Don't Drink Water

Seriously. We just had lunch and there wasn't any drinkable water around.

Last night we were each given a bottle of water. I thought that was just for the night. Of all the health shiz they subscribe to, not drinking plain water is too big a contradiction. True, tea is good for one's body but nothing beats regular water. I can't believe I just drank a mouthful of water after a big lunch. I might die of dehydration. I'd probably spend all my money on water now.

My brother and I poked around the refrigerator out back and found a couple of bottles. But get this: they're expired. I didn't know water had an expiration date. But right there stamped on the bottle was 2007.05.04. I'm not sure what that date was; it could be the manufacturing date. But even if it were, that means that that bottle of unopened water was 2 years old! Goodness! How have they survived this long?

I terribly miss our water dispenser.

Another dilemma: I'm running out of disk space. If I'm staying here for a month, at this rate, I will finish my remaining 140gb of free disk space. I really should transfer some of my stuff on my brother's laptop.

Morning Sickness

So this is what it feels like.

Okay, I'm not pregnant. This is just the side effect of the medication I'm taking to regularize some of my biological functions. 

It is AWFUL. 

I've been breathing deeply to keep things down but there are weird smells that bring them all back up. I've already eaten sweets and drank water but the nausea is still there. And the memory of that cold chicken cooked in beer last night... Eugh. I really don't wanna think about it. It was HORRIBLE. It makes me want to throw up extra hard. I think the memory of that dish will keep me from eating anything else in a long long time. Wow. I'd be thin.

Still, this all feels so bad... I hate it. And I just wanna sleep but I can't because I'm not in my own house hence I'm not a princess here. Ugh. 

At pinagtitripan ako ng tiya ko. Lahat nalang. Papaaralin ng Chinese, make me go to the gym, even stand on that weird torture device-ish stretching thing while watching TV. 

I know, I know, those things are actually beneficial for me but ugh! This is my irrational side. I hate it that they're getting on my case. I wish they'd just leave me alone. I wish my dad would teach me how to be independent in an English-speaking country. And please stop shoving the Chinese language down my throat. I don't dislike it but please just quit pushing it. I don't like being told what to want. I know it's a good and important language but I want to learn to love it in my own time.

I feel like throwing up again.

Me?

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

--> Me? Straightforward? Hmm.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

--> Haha. Hahahahaha! Hahahahahahahaha!!! So true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

--> So where are those dates you're talking about?

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

--> Exactly.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

-->You just said that I'd end up with an unusual job and yet now you say I'd choose something secure and practical. What kind of job is unusual and at the same time secure and practical? Like, an undertaker or something?

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Headache

Maybe because I got used to Philippine summer weather these past few weeks that 20 degrees C is a little cold for me already. Right now breathing through my nose is giving me a headache (coupled with that weirdly sweet scent - at first it was nice but now I'm getting a little sick of it... and I have to spend a month in it).

Also, since it's cold, there's no reason to turn on the air conditioner (and there are no electric fans here). I'm used to the nonstop whirring of appliances back home (especially my desktop) that I find deafeningly silent the lack of those sounds. I have to leave my ipod stuck to my laptop so I'll have proper "sleep music" because all I have in this laptop are Christmas songs. Will that harm my iPod's battery???

Hello from Taiwan!

OK, it's my first time to ever go here. Not that I really dreamed of going here but I'm happy that I'd be able to add another pin on my map. 

So far it's been OK. The thing I'm most thankful for is their awfully fast internet connection. Goodness. The time it took for me to download and install the AIM messenger (about only a minute) would've been 10x slower back home. I should've brought extra disk space... Well, dear ol' Samwyn (my iPod) is here to help. Thank heavens for 160gb ipods. 

Anyway, my Chinese has been criticized several times today. I admit that I am no expert but I do understand what they're saying (most of the time). I just am kinda shy to speak it. So as a result of that, during my free time, they're gonna send me to a nearby university to study Chinese language! Wow. I spent more than 13 years of my life studying that language and it still isn't enough. Man. Well, at least I'd get to meet new people... (which I am NOT good at. Where's the silver lining again?)

I'm so glad my cousin knows how to speak in English. 

OK, I don't know what the wake up time here is so I gotta sleep a little early (by midnight - that's early for me). I'm guessing it's around 8AM, but I kinda have the feeling that my aunt will wake me up at 7AM for that live baseball game. I showed some interest in baseball while watching the news awhile ago (she offered us the remote control to switch to our channel of desire - but all channels are in Chinese! Oh except HBO, which has Chinese subtitles. And the most boring movie ever.). Apparently, baseball is really big here. They've got a Taiwanese pitcher in the Yankees, am I right? Not sure. Basta he's very good according to her. They even have a calendar with his pictures on it.

OK, that's all for now. 

P.S. They keep offering us fruits. Real healthy. But they keep on feeding us. I hope I don't gain more weight.

Ewan.

Tuesday

I hate it when sometimes he's being cute without realizing it.

Ugh.

Focus, Tep. Erase, erase.
