I think I'm JOSS STONED!


Been listening to Joss Stone's latest album, "Introducing Joss Stone".

This one's super different with the first two albums she released years ago. Although this one's more upbeat and more groovy than her previous songs, she still is THE new generation's soul singer for me. Her vocals is more powerful than ever, and her back-up singers and the musical arrangements are the best, awesome!

When you listen to her songs, you'd feel like you're walking down the avenue with your humongous headphones on and wearing a mini skirt and a pair of elevator shoes! And you're just gliding through, all breezy and beaming. :D

Si Cherva Ikakasal Na

This coming Saturday, the 28th, Poang P. will finally tie the knot with long-time boyfriend, Randall.

Preparations are ongoing while tension at home, mixed with an awful lot of excitement is truly eating up everybody!

Pictures, updates coming soon!

A Slightly Funny Story

Hello, hello. Still on the Harry Potter "fevah"...

When I was all ecstatic about having my own copy of HP7, my dad suddenly said, "Wala man lang ako mapapala dyan kay HENRY POTTER. Kahit bayaran mo ko, hindi ko man lang babasahin yan si HENRY POTTER!"

Bwahahahah!

Now I call my dad "Henry", sometimes I call him "Tito Henry" when I am trying to be a little courteous...

Getting Ready for Harry

One week to go and it's Harry Potter Mania once again (at least for the avid readers of the Harry Potter series)! Because of this very very exciting news, I am now re-reading Half-Blood Prince, as a reference of course.

I can't wait to have my own copy of the final book! Fingers crossed!

A Sort of kind of Funny na rin

The post you will read after this sentence is based on a true story.

I was in third grade then. Our school was preparing for our foundation day and I, together with my other classmates, would show off what we had learned in PE which was aerobics.

So our teacher asked us to make our own dumbells. Unfortunately for me, my parents at that time were in Bulacan, so I had my lolo to prepare the said dumbells for me.

You know what my lolo did?

He took four empty cans of milk (the big ones), filled them up with wet cement and stuck two sticks in two of the four cans.

When it was done, my lolo called me and showed me my dumbells. They were heavy, i mean really heavy for my age (even until now). But I never complained, thinking that they were really supposed to be heavy because they were dumbells after all.

I brought them to school the next day. When I saw my classmates' dumbells, I was surprised to find out that they only used small empty cans of evaporated milk and a really thin stick (my stick had a one inch diameter). And I thought, "they're pretty light too, unlike mine".

But you see, that next day, was our foundation day already, so I had no choice but use the ones lolo made for me.

My shoulders and my entire body ached after that aero stunt we had. Grabeng bigat men.

Now that I thought about this, natatawa na lang ako. Ibang klase talaga si lolo!

End!

The Impacho Storeh

Hello, hi.



My dear friend pot pot is here in the island surprisingly. It's a bit of a surprise because she works in a far far away place that begins in letter T. And she has been working there ever since we graduated from college (which was 5 thousand years ago).



Anyhoo, my story for the night is my impacho story, or shall i say, my very first impacho story.



As Pot pot is here, the high school geng kind of celebrated her resurrection. I came from work and went straight at the party place with PS. I was hungry, exhausted, thirsty, and weak. Sa maikling salita, patay gutom mode nako. So the food was served. According to dear friends, they noticed how fast I was eating, gulping and munching on every dish on the table. I was, according to them, quietly eating a LOT which of course was so unusual because I am very picky with foods. But that night, men oh men, pwede ako lumaban sa buffet! Ye!



And so, after some minutes, I raised my white flag. I was done eating. Suddenly, it hit me, a very painful and tightening feeling in my tummy. Ang sakit super. Parang sasabog na masikip na maasim na ewan. I went to the bathroom, but sadly, to no avail. Pinapawisan nako ng malamig. I was scared na hindi ako makakapagcelebrate ng resurrection ni Potpot. So i lied down for a while and tried to tolerate the pain. PERO HINDI KO TALAGA KAYA! I went to the bathroom again. AS much as I wouldn't like to do it, I did it. I threw up, and there went all my favorite food inside the throne. Kakapanghinayang. But at least, i felt better after.



I ate again and drank a little after. May fruit salad pa eh. :-D



Yun lang. Naishare ko lang, kase ngayon ko lang mafeel ang impacho. Ganun pala yun. Terible.
