Thoughts on Gabby and Manny. LAWL.

I'd say 'anachronistic' would be a good word to describe Gabby Concepcion in his recent attempts to... snatch fame from the jaws of obsolescence. ifail@metaphors.lol

I think I was on my second beer last Saturday night, when a plug of his movie (or TV movie?) came on, and I remarked that he looked like he'd been CUT AND PASTED from the 1970s into 2008. My brother totally cracked up and was like "Exactly!" LOL I thought I was the only one who'd noticed.

Fine, I don't want to risk getting slapped for libel be unfair here; let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it's not his fault he seems a little out of sync with the... grand scheme of things. Maybe it's because he was out of circulation for such a long time. Maybe it's his awkwardly noticeably rosy cheeks. Or maybe it's because his bangs just scream "last vestige of 80s matinee idol glory." Look:

What point was I trying to make now? Oh right, I wasn't.

Moving on to more current things (OOH C WUT I DID THAR!). The Pacquiao-Diaz match, you see it? Hot damn. Manny Pacquiao is just ASASFALKJHLamazing. Diaz had to be one of his toughest opponents yet. That guy just kept taking punches TO THE FACE and wouldn't go down!!!... until the 9th. :D That was a pretty sweet KO.

I wasn't high, but

last Friday I saw by the following:

Long-legged dancing showgirls;
acrobats somersaulting through hoops and flying across the room;
a fat lady who sings, in an Elizabethan gown;
a Ricky Martin impersonator;
at least 7 guys dressed as Elvis;
contortionists; and last but not least,
masked mimes in neon-on-black unitards drumming neon-green sticks.

It was... pretty cool(?).

Fine. Here.

I'm too buzzed to comment a whole lot so here, real quick: I liked the acrobats. (Although this will always be my favorite group of acrobats, probably.) And surprisingly, I even liked the mimes (and I am somewhat afraid of mimes). But... the contortionists. That was just plain wrong. Just, OMG, unacceptable. The whole time I was like HEY NO REALLY YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT. /ﾟ~ﾟ\

Late night fangirling.

Here's blogging for the heck of it. I was gonna go to bed, but someone posted a scanlation of a Daijiro Yonemura article on the Question? comms, so now I'm all awake and giddy like the fangirl that I am. Just when I thought I was starting to like Yoshi-kun and his smexy drummer arms. Now it's back to Yonemuu♥. And his hairy legs.

Fine, none of you care about that.

Still... all this has me realizing that I've been fangirling on the internet for about a decade now. O_O Hot damn. *flashback mode* I remember when I first got into it, back in 1998. The internet looked like crap, and HTML looked so intimidating. LOL. I made my first webpages on gURLpages, and with MS frigging WORD. I spent my limited and then-very expensive internet hours browsing a seemingly endless string of 'N Sync fansites (webrings were still the shiznits back then), and laughing at the, uh... 'nside jokes. Such as the recurring Lance/Joey love pairing in fanfics (because even back then, even though we kinda wanted to have his babies, us loyal fangirls kinda knew that Lance Bass was, you know...)

So now, 10 years later, I think it's quite obvious that I've moved on... to other groups. *facepalm*

Unrelated matter: this personality test, which I got from Paolo, puts me in the "Spontaneous Idealist" category. The description makes me LOL, nonetheless I think it's spot on.

Alright, that's it. This entry was contrived from the very beginning. XD Must go to sleep now, I promised myself I'd at least try to sleep earlier than 4AM today. Oyasumi nasai~.

LOL Oh hai thar plz to be just bookmarking my site already.

Statcounter has logged the following activity from one visitor (click to zoom):

LOLLOLLLLOLLLL WHY HELLO THERE YOU FOUND ME~. (>v<) I'm always amused whenever I find out that I'm being Googled, because for one thing, it's not as if I'm a rare presence lurking in the corners of the internet. I'm EVERYWHERE on the internet. I had a Bebo and a Buzznet account at one point, for Pete's sake. Also-and more importantly--I am not that interesting. So I totally don't get why people bother. xD

That said, I don't want to sound like an ingrate--OF COURSE I'm glad to know that contrary to my understanding, there are people who actually read this. But being googled poses the risk of fluffing up my already oversized ego. :D I'm just a little curious about why that person, whoever it is (124.107.84.85) had to google repeatedly, when there are much easier options such as bookmarking or *COUGH* subscribing to my RSS feed. *cough* <-- subtle hint

Besides, seriously, my URL is not that long. xD

Weird celebrity psychic, candy, and TV.

I've been trying to come up with a blog entry for the past two days. It's just that when you're trying to write about a close encounter with Madame Auring (Really happened. Monday. It was so weird. I still haven't gotten the image of her hot pink leggings out of my head.), you tend to run out of non-slanderous words.

Moving on to more palatable things... READ PLSKTHX: If anyone out there knows where Milky Way bars are still being sold. Please please prease. Let me know. They're my favorite, and I haven't had them in ages. I can't seem to find them. :(

I was going to comment on certain issues, but it's almost 3 am and I'm starving and can't think straight. But just so you didn't come here for nothing (apart from me whining about a candy bar), here's some random-but-ultimately-related stuff.
1.) I am crushing on Jon Stewart all over again. ♥
2.) Maxxx has been switching up the time slots for The Daily Show and the Colbert Report for the past couple of days. Dunno why. Dun really care either. I watch 'em both.
3.) Someone needs to tell the voiceover lady for Maxxx that's it's more like, coal-bare. LULZ.
4.) I wonder if it might be a good idea to switch to Destiny cable from Sky. The leaflet (which I've of course misplaced) says they have Discovery Travel and Living and TWO NHKs. My only qualm is that all (ok, both) of the cable companies around always have that "lineup subject to change without prior notice" clause, which roughly translates to "we have made a virtue of dropping the channels you want as soon as you sign up with us". (Still... TWO NHKs?)

This is perhaps cause for some concern.

Got that from Abby. And um, maybe... maybe I should cut down a little bit. O_O

Bleach your skin and tape your eyelids.

I guess I'm a little...surprised? Apparently an increasing number of Asian girls are getting into the trend of using "eyelid stickers" (or tape) to fake the double-eyelid look. I don't know how new this is, but I found out about it just recently.

To be honest, since it doesn't really apply to me, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I guess on one hand it's nowhere near as drastic as surgery. But there's something about it that bothers me in the same way as our country's--or at least, our country's market's--unhealthy obsession with skin lightening. (More on that later.) Of course, on the flipside, tanning has become entirely common with lighter-skinned folks. I'm no hard-liner when it comes to these issues--to each his own, right?--I'm just saying. Kind of makes you wonder if changing your looks to deviate a little bit from your own ethnicity is the norm now.

That said... am I the only one who is extremely annoyed at Heart Evangelista's TV commercial for Palmolive soap? I'm talking about the one that casually goes, "I look white. I stay white." Good god. It just flung all ethnic sensibility out the window. In fact, I would love to think that that was just a lapse in judgement, along the lines of "OH MY GOD WE SO DIDN'T REALIZE HOW INCREDIBLY RACIALLY CRASS THAT WAS". Because my only other option is to think that they consciously decided to be that blatant with their choice of words. Either way I thought it tasteless, and I hope their product (or endorser, or both) ultimately flops.

And I never liked Heart Evangelista anyway, so there.
