Ang Laswa

Pinanood ko ang Eat Bulaga ng buo sa unang pagkakataon. I'm a channel surfer. I rarely stick to a TV channel. Pero kahapon isa yatang himala at hindi ko naalala ang remote control. hehe..

Medyo matagal ko na rin napanood ung "Kagat Labi" portion pero ngayon ko lang naisip at ngayon lang ako nagtaka kung bakit sobrang sikat nito. Napagtanto ko na hindi ko 'ata nakita ang nakakatawang anggulo ng sayaw na to. Sabi ng tag line sa GMA (c/o of my Orbit Cable, of course!) hindi na daw uso ang running man at ispageti dahil ang kagat labi na daw ang kinababaliwan ng bayan. para sa akin malaswang panoorin ang mga bata na kinagigiliwan ang sayaw move na ito. opinyon ko lang naman ito pero sa tingin ko may sexual connotations ang pagsayaw ng may kasamang kagat labi at pagpikit ng mata.

Para sa akin ang sayaw na 'to ay hindi naman weird para sa mga taong nasa wastong edad na pwede nang bumili ng alak at mag bar ng legal. Ewan ko, pero nanayo ang balahibo ko pagkakita ko ng bata na napapapikit ang mata at kinakagat ang labi habang kumekembot.

Sadyang berde lang 'ata ang utak ko pero hindi pa rin ako natutuwa sa "kagat labi" na dance move.

All Because of Meredith

I've become a major TV junkie. I have been up till 4 am for five days straight last week catching reruns of Grey's Anatomy (1st Season). I can't believe I ignored GA in my channel surfing life. Surprisingly I now find the lives of these interns rather interesting. A warm welcome just in time when One Dubai (TV) cancelled it's Gilmore Girls for this season. Yeah, one might think I'm living in Ice Age but I can't complain. One Dubai gave me the chance to see episodes of shows I have missed being the TV-free Makati working girl. 2 years ago I caught up with the pilot seasons of Charmed and Gilmore Girls among others.

And so I finally got back my decent number of hours' sleep after Addison came to smoothly introduce herself with fine composure:
Addison Shepherd: Hi I'm Addison Shepherd
Meredith Grey: Shepherd? (questioning look)
AS: And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband.

The King of Nothing To Do

That Heavenly Scent of Cofee

I am sure there are thousands like me who just find that heavenly scent of coffee maddening. I can’t imagine a day without a regular large mug of coffee to boost me. I’m not particular with my brand of coffee. I down almost everything, branded, plain, fancy, light/low-fat, instant, flavored, plain, iced, creamy, Arabic espresso, name it. Getting your boost from a well-known coffee-shop may be an added factor but never a requirement. Nonetheless, which coffee-lover could resist that divine whiff coming out of a Starbucks outlet? Are Starbucks fanatics really over-doing it? Do you get an unnatural high when you have a cup of Starbucks in your hand?
……
Just a tidbits from my leisure net-surfing:

1. Starbucks 361 thumbs-up, 194 thumbs-down
A major coffee chain that people obviously think is the devil's brew. Starbucks is apparently 'The Man' taking over the Earth.
Naysayer: "I hate Starbucks! It's turning America into mindless clones!"
Me: "Dude, get over it. It's just coffee. Let me drink my frappuchino in peace."
--------

2. Starbucks 531 thumbs-up, 373 thumbs-down
the status symbol plague of america in liquid form...it's the only beverage accessory to your outfit now. and every mindless drone who goes there thinks that they're artsy, posh, and sophisticated if they visit a starbucks or carry around a drink with its logo, despite the fact that just about anyone can buy from there?

Serena stopped by starbucks in the morning to buy a mocca java and she finished it in 5 minutes flat but more importantly she carried the empty cup with its starbucks logo around to each of her next 6 class periods of the day.

Tara almost sold her soul to work at starbucks, now she finally got the job, thinks she’s in paradise, and brags about how she can make the best frappacinos and can serve her admiring friends for free. As you can see, she’s truly made it in life.
