woke up with sun's rays on my window. cleaned the mess we left last night. ate the second pan of that cassava cake i baked. wanted to pack my bags for my trip in september already. walked with miguel around the city. craved for ice cream but the line was so long. cried while watching grey's anatomy. bought miguel a laptop so he won't destroy mine.
but something totally random: i think alex karev from grey's anatomy is the new chuck bass. chuck bass is so like balmain. so yesterday. please don't hate me? everybody wants him that he loses his appeal on me already. but i would still spend the day with him if he ever crosses my path, you know what i mean? so if christoper decarnin reads this, i would still love to own that jacket.
i am starting to like the blair and the lord's tandem (secretly because i want to keep chuck for myself, lol). but seriously, what is it with this british accent that gets me so interested? does anybody know if there's a british accent class here in germany i can enroll my boyfriend to? although i roughly (read 25%) understand the english, i still find it very sexy. my mom is in england and the times i visited her there, i always had problem in the airport. stewardess: didChapackyerLugejbyyOrself? me: huh? stewardess: didChapackyerLugejbyyOrself? me: yeah, whatever. mom: ikaw ba daw ng-empake ng maleta mo? (did you pack your luggage by yourself) me: ahhh... YES (in my weirdest british accent possible, if ever there's any) hihi
me foolin around with my new dress
yey the shoes came!
the dress + shoes = somewhat weird (whatchathink?)
the dress + the tutu = ballerina much? (i didn't realize how much this dress is a pain in the ass)
i was really addicted to sex and the city decades before. i dunno, i was 16 or 17-ish at that time, and the characters were like early 30's, but still i watched it religiously in hbo and even bought the whole vcd set afterwards for late night reruns with friends at sleepover. ooohh the VCD set. that's how old it was. what's weird is, i could have never afforded the manolos, the fendis and the diors they were wearing and for sure could NOT relate to the whole work and sex thing going on, because in fact, i was 16. i was still in school, not a lawyer or a pr person. and i was just new to exploring the art of kissing, let alone talk about bl*wjobs and vibrators.. haha. i can still vividly remember the cringing moments i had wathing samantha's sex excapades through a tiny hole i made from my hands covering my eyes. it was not real for me. or it was not relatable because i never experienced it yet. i didn't have much wisdom with dating because i have dated only two guys. i didn't know the 'he's just not into me theory' (would have been very helpful if i did, and would have saved me from my most embarassing moment ever) but i watched it however.
SO, imagine my luck when i found this little sex-and-the-city-20-years-ago-and-more-drama-drama series called GOSSIP GIRL. i still can't relate to the park avenue rich bitches playing the role but the age, drugs, sex, boys and FASHION, that i can relate. it is EXAGGERATED 4 trillion times though but still it appealed to me.
i don't have to narrate and introduce the cast because you have probably heard of them already by now, one way or the other, and if not, i'm not sure which planet you are in. pluto maybe? :) i love it to pieces. i never thought i would be saying this as i was shedding tears for carrie and big, but yes, I LOVE GOSSIP GIRL MORE THAN SATC.
i'm already having withdrawals as i am downloading the season finale episode but knowing that the next season is bigger, juicier and fashionable-r (!) haha, comforts me altogether.
this was from the last episode. i love chuck even more for just being the badass that he is. :) a girl could really use some of those badass lips of his. haha. how cool was that when everybody told something bad or wrong thing they did to make serena feel better about her confession and chuck just answered, "i am chuck bass.", in a very naughty way. as if being himself is bad and wrong itself already. :) and though this may sound very corny and childish, i liked it that everybody came to rescue serena. even if it means, blair, chuck and nate in a room together. it's really just like my friends back home. awww. i'm gettin teary-eyed now. :) i love you guys.
so i'll update you as soon as i finish watching the last episode and be sure that it's full of dramz! sooo excited!
Didn't u miss the golden globes? the red carpet, the couture and the gossip? are you also an awards fanatic like me? :) well, it's the only time in my fantasy that i can be a rachel zoe or a fugyourselfmeanie girl that i'm not. if you know what i mean...
so here's my take on the Screen Actors Guild 2008: THE GIRLS WHO GOT IT RIGHT oh my god! did she lose weight or did she lose weight? looks fab though! are they sure my girls getting the right nutrition on the set? she get thinner and thinner by the second. i wouldn't normally advice a white gown for the red carpet unless you're going for the bride look but she kinda pulls off the look, so A for effort!need i say more? this one's screaming TIMELESS BEAUTY all over the place! she looks so i-dont-really-give-a-damn-about-my-dress-but-i-look-so-fantastic-even-im-40 good!!
THE GIRLS WHO GOT IT NOT SO RIGHT Oh Ellen. hire yourself a stylist already! or fire the one you have now! for the love of god! i am praying for the day that you surprise me with a stunning red carpet moment. i think the dress is ok, if i want to go as an aluminum foil for Halloween. :)
don't get me wrong, i love grey's anatomy so dearly. but i cannot excuse these behavior from meredith and christina. if i would like to go as gift, yes i would consider this look. but since i wanted to go to an awards show, i would have chosen a different one. you agree? this is just all sorts of wrong! the white dress, the big butt, the tummy, the hair everything! dunno bout you but i kinda have the impression that anything eva longoria puts on, it becomes slutty and cheap.
now i am haunting you with a picture of me and my wedding dress. even i would have gotten it right, no? minus the bouquet and the white gloves i think i would have done a good job! :)
well, let's admit it. in every one of us is a series junkie. come on. who didn't love carrie and her shoes? who didn't laugh and fall in love with rachel and ross? honestly i am not a big hospital-setting series fan. i hate blood. not until sandra persuaded me to,"... give it a chance, just one episode.". i ordered the first season on ebay, and man! did i get hooked.
i kinda thought it's just all about surgery and stuff, but it was not all that.
Dr. McDreamy? or Dr. McSteamy? :)
The characters just captured my heart from the very start. Not just McDreamy's smile but every single character had a special something. You'll know what i'm talking about once you've seen it. Sandra Oh did such a wonderful job as Christina. I sometimes see myself in her, how competitive she can be but at the same time, fragile and sensitive. love her.
ok, lets go back to the topic. the ending was super McSucky. Burke left Christina at the wedding, George failed the intern exams, the Nazi didn't get to be Chief resident and Meredith and Derek were again like for the nth time, breaking up. What's up with that? i understand it's supposed to be a dark and twisty season, but hell with that. i am not watching a single episode anymore without George. i love George. who doesn't? so please don't remove him from the freakin show. My life is already McUgly enough and we dont like me to be McCranky.
(oh, i forgot. it's their thing. the Mc-mcking everything.) :) watch it, it's fun.
imagine that you're 19, fell in love and got married to a german, flew your ass all the way to germany not speaking a single word deutsch, leaving everything you have behind in the philippines. now imagine, you're getting divorced after a year, lost all your faith in the good in people, found a great new boyfriend, moved together and got a job to pay the rent and credit card bills. now you're 27, you speak german, travel around the world and have a super cheeky but smart three year old baby boy! hi, welcome to my super fun world!
