Because I’ve Got Lots to Say
October 27, 2007Taste Test Faux Pas
Gawd, I hate it when TV shows come up with segments wherein their host/s taste test palates of renowned-slash-or-interesting restaurants! Proof: see Iggy on Where You At? (MYX), Cindy K. on ka-ToQue and Lucy T. and her cohort in The Sweet Life (QTV) among others which I cannot name anymore since I do not patronize that many local TV shows. I mean, come on, you guys! Read up a little! Re^search! Re^search! (a la Dr. Suresh from you-know-where)
Don't get me wrong — I'm no food guru, but I don't think it takes one to do these what-its! Cut worrying about big things like how you're projecting yourself on cam what with how you look and all and oh, I don't know.. maybe start focusing on minute details like commenting on how the food was plated, it's consistency, if one ingredient may have overpowered the others a bit, what kind of diner would find it more delectable..? Yea?
Take a cue from Sam in Rated Oh! She's amazing, although a little tacky at times. Neh! Oh, and watch shows like Iron Chef, Top Chef, Rachael Ray, Today (the food part), and others you can find on cable. I swear it will not cost you a twitch in the eye muscles. Optional: [for the severely ignorant and desperate] Cooking Master Boy and that one on GMA every morning, I think. I can almost guarantee you'll become a food critic in no time! Chow! (ha! ha! Get it? Chow? Nvm.)
So The Drama!
Have you seen the dashing Halle Berry lately? I have — on TV, o'course. And ooh, the baby bump's not the only one that's getting bigger, the twins (*wink*) have as well!
I used to be one of those who — looong after proclaiming their eternal hate and damnation for Britney Spears' weird and often grotesque display of behavior — you can find scrolling down webpages of Brit's latest sick news off gossip sites. Admit it, so do you!
Well, I've retired. It's addictive [however fitting beyond words] in the first 50 years but believe it or not, the addiction will stop. Yes, it will. However we wrongly put things though, we will never look at pop stars — and parenting for this matter — the same way ever again much thanks to good ol' Brit-Brit.
Speaking of gossip sites, check out PerezHilton.com! It's my current fave. But my all-time favorite source for celebrity goop will always and forever be HollywoodRag.com of which my cousin, Achie Angela, introduced to me late last year. Or early of this one. I can't tell anymore.
Oh, speaking of gossippppp.. late last night I watched the first four eps of Gossip Girl (credits to my beau, Chonchon!) and even if I may think the casting agent was whoop-ey the day he/she/he-she decided to give Blake Lively the role of Serena Van der Woodsen and those two freaks of an actress, Blair's sidelines, and even if I may think they should have gotten a prettier Serena for the show, I still think this new series is rad! No, really. Did you know that I cried that part when B read to S the unsent letter she wrote when B went to a boarding school in Connecticut without a note? Ha! I am so looking forward to the next eps.
Where Is the Artist In Me?
I am so the inconsistent artist. I mean, I can make really good art — but not always. It's only when I'm super 200x emotionally driven and motivated. I cannot stress this enough. My drawings on paper and on the computer (MS Paint) are NEVER the same. Drawing characters that are facing elsewhere besides to the front is definitely not my forte. So imagine my shock when I finally made my first real and decent sketch of two girls facing to the right yesterday. Mm-hm! Cute, too. Now, I just have to work on ones looking to the left..
Songs Sans the Music
Finally, they arre herre! You know, the lyrics I blogged about a few entries ago? (No, I think it was the latest one. What-ev)
The Scene Right Now
October 18, 2007I was meaning to put up the lyrics I made over the past few days but I keep forgetting. Titles include "Feel Alright", "Lab Partner" (Ha! I know!), and others — I forgot. No, seriously. Y'know what I'm worried about is? I've never tried any of my songs wit' a musical instrument (my guitar's all messed up, btw) and nobody has EVER heard any of the songs I've written. I'm thinking people won't like them based on just the lyrics. I mean, it's one thing to read the lyrics and actually hear how they're supposed to sound.
On a lighter note, my beau and I have been together for 1 year, 1 month, and 1 day TOday. Yay! Also, this is the time of the year when all the best TV shows are coming up wit' their latest seasons. We're all googley-eyes on House, Prisonbreak, Avatar, and Heroes. I've been told that the popular series Gossip Girl has been made into a TV series. Chonchon's working on DL-ing the series. Hurrah!
Ooh. Our school owe us one week of sem break. Dun ask me why.
