KRIS Me

Jinkee Pacquiao texted Kris Aquino.

It’s the talk of the town!

Jinkee = Kapuso.

Jinkee texted Kris.

In your face, Showbiz Central.

Amazing. And she’s being vague on purpose. I love it.

I love Kris Aquino. I may not always like or agree to what she says. I am simply entertained. Definitely more entertaining than “Kings”. She’s good for TV. She’s good TV.

Give Kris a reality show and it’ll be complete madness. Sweet madness.

No matter how rich Willi Revillame is, I seriously think Kris can win Noynoy his campaign just because she's too damn popular. Villar doesn’t stand a chance.

Kris IS the queen of media. To hell with Marian Rivera.

I miss Deal or No Deal and her Philip Stein watches. No worries, her The Buzz shoes are always fierce.

I am soooo watching her MMFF movie.

Glutton for Punishment

I started out with the usual – Naked Juice Bar’s Double Protein Sandwich and 22 oz. Watermelon Juice. Easy.

(A) started out with NYFD. Tempting, but, no. I skipped the fries.

Line at Tater’s dispersed. Bought White Cheddar popcorn. Popcorn can be enjoyed eventhough you’re not watching a movie. Now, I’m usually very greedy with my food. I hate sharing, but sharing it with (A) and (N) is a no-brainer. (A) thought that Pepsi Lychee is worth trying. I skipped, too.

White Hat. Hard time deciding what toppings to put in. Strawberries in Syrup, Kiwi, and Dark Choco Drops. Homemade chessecake was looking at me. One day, I’m gonna order the tub.

I hate you, Crepes and Creme. You don’t have enough chairs and tables.

Bailey’s and Toblerone = Intoxicatingly good together. Who thought that gelato can be so... warm. Gelato, people. Gelato. Almost as good as Amici’s gelato. I love you, Art’s Cream Gallery.

Someone suggested we buy alcohol. Someone suggested we smoke. (N) was neither of those two someones. Smoke it is. I wanted alcohol. That Vodka was calling out my name.

I bought cigarette. I lit it up. I dropped it. Bought another one. Chain smoking is fun, no? Coughing uncontrollably, not so much. Cigs are gross. And, no. There aren't any photos of us smoking. We don't want any proof of it just so it can be used against us.

Walked down the streets of Malate. Burned some calories.

Don’t ever, ever eat Korean Ice Cream Sandwich while still chewing a gum. It’s a nice place, that Korean Village. Gained a few more calories.

Tried on clothes. And motherfucking boots. Gad, I’m in love with those boots. (A) did the shopping. It was fun dressing him up. And then you’re system crashed down because you’re out of sugar.

In the end, I sit here typing and resisting my giddiness as I finish off the last few drops of my 750mL Mountain Dew.

Thank you, (N). And thank you, (A). I missed you two.

Good night. It’s been a good day.

I watch TV some more.

God, I love “Survivor”. Not the crap that GMA shows every night. I love the one NOT hosted by be-dimpled Bediones. I love the original Survivor. It’s just like #LOST (I saw “La Fleur” tonight). It’s character-driven, but with funnier people involved.

I bought “Kings”, (N)! I will watch it over the weekend (when I’m done with “Merlin”, oh “Merlin”) and will tell you about it.

Pissed

Don’t compliment me just so you can compliment her. I swear I won’t be offended. I know I’m not pretty. You know I’m not pretty so we don’t have to pretend like I am. Frankly, it’s insulting.

(12) Days After

First, please tell me if I got it right. “You Make My Dreams” played when Tom was having his “Enchanted” moment and “Sweet Disposition” played when Tom and Summer were in the train. Now, what the song when Tom was dribbling a tennis ball and started sketching again? Other than that, I’ve heard better soundtracks.

I liked that Tom worked for a Greeting Card company. It looks like boring job, but it’s not a common boring job.

I liked that it’s so much better than the last Zooey movie that I saw. I did not like that the lead guy wasn’t Paul Dano. Pero alam ko, hindi bagay kaya sige na. Hayaan na.

I got thrilled when I saw Matthew Grey Gubler and Minka Kelly. I love my TV connections kahit na hindi ko naman talaga gusto si Lyla Garrity at hindi na ako updated sa “Criminal Minds”. When I saw Minka Kelly’s name on the opening credits, I knew that Joseph’s not gonna end with Zooey. She’s the other pretty girl. She’s the next pretty girl after Zooey. Ano man sabihin nila sa kinaiba ng movie na ito sa ibang stories about love, mapupunta pa rin ang bida sa magandang babae.

I love movie references. Nasabi ko naman na I secretly love “The Graduate”, ‘di ba?

I love the time jumps. Eh, technically, hindi naman siya time jumps. I think they got everything right with “The Graduate”, Ringo Starr, and the pancakes.

Damn you, pretty vests and cardigans! The vests and the cardigans are to die for! No. Not really. They just made me wanna move to someplace I can appropriately wear those clothes.

I can’t say I loved the movie. It’s definitely good, I’ll say that. I did like Summer. Mainly because of this:

Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

I finished a book.

We submitted the draft our Action Research last Friday so I knew that reading is an option for this long weekend. Plus, walang kuryente noong Saturdaybecause of the typhoon so there weren’t anything left to do but read.

I picked up Alex Sanchez’s “The Rainbow Road”.

I read the last 100 pages using a flashlight.

About a year ago, I’m in bed.

Chickenpox.

Good times.

Fall TV 2009

I like to watch my comedies continuously so I always wait for them to finish their seasons with the exception of Jim and Pam’s wedding on “The Office”, of course. Have you seen it? I can’t stop watching it!

ABC came out with three new sitcoms this Fall. “Modern Family” is hilarious. Phil is hilarious. “The Middle” is great, and “Cougar Town” is just okay. I haven’t seen “Hank” Should I?

“Castle” got better this season. “Eastwick” is more like... “Desperate Housewives”, not “Charmed”. Like “Cashmere Mafia”, only in a neighbourhood and they have magic powers. Definitely not like “Charmed”. “The Forgotten” is gonna die soon. I’m sure of it. ABC is not gonna order any more episodes of this show.

I’m gonna stop watching “FlashForward” and wait for it to finish na lang din. “V” is coming out on November and I think ABC is afraid to gamble on this show. 4 episodes will be aired next month and will continue on March 2010 after the Winter Olympics. Hmmm.

“Southland” was cancelled. An outrage. I love “Southland”. And they’re still airing “Trauma”? Really, NBC?

I haven’t seen “Community”. Is it good?

I tried watching “Accidentally on Purpose” and for a show to come right after “How I Met Your Mother” and before “Two and a Half Men”, it is just not funny. Not at all.

“The Good Wife” is not just good. It is scandalous! I love it.

Wala ng magandang sitcom sa FOX since “Arrested Development”. Technically, “Family Guy” is not a sitcom.

They have “Glee”, but seriously, it doesn’t appeal to all. Joss Whedon is gonna direct an episode. Whedon, the mastermind behind “Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog” and that “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” musical. That’s something to get excited about kasi kay Kristin Chenoweth lang ako naging excited, eh.

Balita ko, guest ng “Bones” si Stephen Fry this season. Bakita kaya sa “Bones”? Wouldn’t it be fun to see Fry with Hugh Laurie on “House”?

“The Vampire Diaries”. Hay. Pasalamat ang show na ito ang may Kevin Williamson at Julie Plec sila sa crew nila kasi matagalan ko na sanang tinigil ang panunuod nito. Yes, I watch it. Bits and parts of an episode. It consistently trends on Twitter, too. Not like that New York-based show on The CW.

---

“Dexter” 404 was better than “Dexter” 401. “Dexter” kills Dexter’s nemesis each season. It’s just how it is, but I really don’t want them to kill The Trinity Killer. He’s just full of... he’s... crazy? Demented? I love him. More than Dexter, I think.

Lundy got shot. Deb got shot. I hope Lundy lives. Kahit hanggang season finale lang. Keith Carradine, John Lithgow, and Michael C. Hall are a powerhouse cast.

“Supernatural”. Sam is The Devil’s vessel. Dean is Archangel Michael’s vessel. Gooooo, Winchester! Bobby is in a wheelchair. God is MIA. Castiel is an outlaw. Anna needs to come back.

Please, let this be the last season. It’s a fantastic storyline.

EMPIRE 500 Greatest Movies

I have watched 168 out of 500 greatest movies of all time as listed by Empire Magazine. Yes, I actually counted. But the point is, I have a lot of watching to do and I think I'll start with Donnie Darko, the Director's Cut.

Saw - I have stopped watching the franchise right after the 3rd one. The endless sequels just ruined it.

I have seen the remakes of “The Wicker Man”, “Hairspray”, and “Little Miss Sunshine”, but those were not what they listed.

“At Worlds End” was not included. Both sequels to the “Matrix” were not included.

Iñárritu, del Toro, and Cuaron movies were on the list. At ang tanging "Harry Potter" movie na nakasama ay "Prisoner of Azkaban". Dahil kay Cuaron. See? What have I told you about "Azkaban"? Mahal ko man ang "Half-Blood Prince", favorite ko pa rin ang "Azkaban".

I thought "Memento" should have ranked higher than "Batman Begins". "Memento", for me, is the ultimate Nolan movie. "The Dark Knight" is 15th. Yes, it is a good movie. I'm just outraged. WTF (Why the face. Hehe.)? It finished ahead of all three "The Lord of the Rings" movies? That is just not right. The other two "Batman" movies that made it on their list were the ones directed by Tim Burton. Burton's movies were all over the list. Glad to see "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure"!

Ang Lee have three of his movies on the list, but I’m hearing a lot of bad reviews for his latest movie. Both of Luhrmann’s musical, kasali.

"City of Gods". Oh, I was so happy "City of Gods" was there. And "The Graduate". I secretly love "The Graduate". But what I was secretly happy about was that "Casino Royale" placed ahead of "The Graduate". I know it shouldn't be like that, but, like I said, I'm secretly happy about it.

“A History of Violence” and “Layer Cake”. Nice.

I went “Awwwww” with “Cinema Paradiso”.

Oh, "Toy Story" 1 & 2! It may not be the highest grossing Pixar movie, but "Toy Story" is where it all began.

“Into the Wild”! “Tootsie”! “The English Patient”!

“Battle Royale”. That, I think, is a sign. I need to read this one.

Napangiti ako nung makita ko ang “Scream”, “Election”, “The Silence of the Lambs”, “The Nightmare Before Christmas”, “Fight Club”, at “The Crow”. 90s makes me smile. Always.

“Field of Dreams” got me laughing. No, don’t think it’s bad. I just remembered “How I Met Your Mother”.

They listed two from Danny Boyle and "28 Days Later" is one of those two. I love "Trainspotting", too, but “28 Days Later is more of my taste. Darren Aronofsky made it on the list, too! Yipee! Even Joe Wright had one of his movies on the list. It's not the one I wanted, but it's okay. I guess.

Is it me or wala talagang Julia Roberts movie?

“Sin City”. I was like, “Really?” Pati sa “Snow White”, actually. Pwedeng palitan ang “Unbreakable”? Gawin nating “Signs”.

“Transformers”? *Shudder*

I realized that “Chicago” is not here. Why is “Chicago” not here?

“School of Rock”. Hmmm. Yeah. Fine. Napanuod ko kasi “The Rocker” noong isang araw. Mas gusto ko siya. Dahil siguro mas fan ako ni Rainn Wilson. At dahil nandoon si Teddy Geiger.

Er, will edit later – or tomorrow! I got to do thesis. I gotta force myself to do some more thesis.

(MMMBop. Great. MMMBop. How am I supposed to be inspired to do my thesis with MMMBop?)

Napanuod ko na nga pala “Ready? OK!” Oh, Carrie Preston. Why are you married to the brilliant Michael Emerson. Why?!
