Man! I can't wait!

Ayala Cinemas started selling tickets weeks ago. I heard the first couple of days are sold out already.

Jacob goes shirtless several times...he is a werewolf after all. Not to be outdone, Edward takes his shirt off too...

Sigh.

Blue Blood Series

Okay, so Twilight opened a floodgate of vampire themed novels. My officemates are so into vampire novels that somehow it rubbed on me. Never mind that most of the stories are so high school-ish. One series that caught my fancy was the Blue Blood Series by Melissa dela Cruz. Name sounds Filipino? Actually, she is! She was born here in Manila and moved to San Francisco with her family. She has written several series for teens.

The Blue Blood Series is like Twilight meets Gossip Girl. Vampires in the Upper East Side. They're rich teens with fangs! The premise of the vampires in Melissa's books is they reincarnate and were fallen angels. The plot doesn't feature only one character. Sort of a mesh of the different lives of these vampire teens. So far there have been four books released. Although from forums, the author says she will be doing ten...six more to go!


It's difficult to get hooked on the book coz now, I have to wait a year for the next one. And the last one was really a cliffhanger.


I recommend it because there's no more Harry Potter to look forward too. Other than the last two movies. I wonder if they turn this into a series, how it would look?!

I'm a GLEEk!!!

I love musicals. I love singing and I love dancing. GLEE has both. And it's about high school. What's not to love about it?!

This is one of my fave production numbers.

Speaking of musicals...have you heard?

CATS will be staged here in Manila with an international cast. Our very own Lea Salonga will be part of the cast too! Tickets will be sold exclusively to Citibank cardholders from November 3 to December 6 and there's a 10% discount to those who will purchase tickets from now until December 31, 2009. The show will begin July 24, 2010. Paylite terms are available.

It's been awhile since I've watched a good musical. I'm writing this down on my calendar! In the meantime, lemme go watch Glee again.

I Wonder...

Hermes at Greenbelt

Look who's coming to the Philippines???

On my way to a baby shower a month ago I saw the familiar orange color...and got really excited! I had to slow down and take a picture.

But I'll probably enter the store just to check the yummy loot. I'll never get to buy anything there, unless I win the lotto...then I'll buy the scarves in all colors...

It's still exciting nonetheless. It means Philippines is becoming a center of fashion and style too, that big name brands are putting up stores here. And I'm sure people will still buy despite the exorbitant prices.

I will just wait for my mother dear to buy her own. The perks of being the only daughter is that I just borrow from her closet. She almost bought a Kelly the last time she traveled. They didn't have it in black though, which is what she wanted. Awww...

Ondoy on my Birthday

When I was born, there was also a storm. My mom wrote it on my baby's book. It was Waling. Since then it seems that every special occasion in my life, it rained.

So I guess Ondoy on my birthday shouldn't surprise me anymore. It really shouldn't if only I was stranded at home. But I was stranded on the road with my family. We were on the road trying to get home almost the whole day. We finally gave up when the bridge in Marcos Highway overflowed. It was our last hope. Great birthday. We ended up staying at a family friend's place in Mandaluyong.

And the scene we found on the way home the next day was devastating. It was heart wrenching to see people lose their homes and their loved ones.

I hope they can rebuild. I hope this will be a lesson to us to take care of our environment and to take care of each other.

Life is really short.

Video Posts

I finally started posting pics from our US trip. It took me awhile coz our internet connection bogged down and when I was finally back online, our laptop is starting to conking out. It's out of disk space. I really need to get an external hard drive. I'm planning to buy the 1TB (a friend said, we'll find a way fill it up) but all our budget for the next few months are reserved for our baby's first birthday.

So, while I try go back into blogging mode, let me just post some videos. Some may be days or weeks old, but hey, it will still make you laugh... i hope.

C'mon, admit it... it's pretty cool huh?!


What a jerk...

So the president calls him a "jackass"


I have to update myself with more of the "happenings"...

Back and back!

I'm back in the Philippines... and finally back online. Been home since the 5th but been out of touch because our internet was down. I missed blogging so much!

I'm so behind with my posts, specially pictures. My aunts and uncles in the US are bugging me to post pics of our trip in my Facebook. I have so much it will take me days!

Anyway, let me sort out all my posts and I'll get back to regular programming...
