In 22

.
Wheeew... Blogger Im back! my schedule is really crazy. Working and studying at the same time is really tough. The good thing is that our midterm exam is done.

There's so many things I wanna do but the bad thing is I don't have the t.i.m.e (I don't even have time to watch The Ghost Whisperer anymore) btw I was offered to run as a first year representative (student council) in PSBA, winning it wil be give me a chance to bag the scholarship program. Sadly there's lots of other things to focus on, like my God damn Physics subject! I wish this school semester finishes tomorrow!

Tomorrow is my Birthday! Wooohooo! (ok that was too much) I got a new haircut and went shopping yesterday. My birthday was never a big deal for me, ill probably work and sleep the whole day tomorrow, although I prefer to recieve a gift but I think no one is planning to do so. If u plan to give one I can give you my address.... hehe. Im 22! and Im still Schizophrenic.

Here's some stuff that caught my attention, this month's pick perhaps?! :)

Ok I was downloading songs for my ipod when I saw an advertisement of this new Showtime program "The Diary of a Call Girl" the girl sure looks familiar! it took me 5minutes to find out that it is actualy Ms. Billie Piper! the Pop princess itself is now a grown up err... call girl?

“Secret Diary” has amusing touches. Mostly the show indulges the common male fantasy that whores truly enjoy prostitution. The series was adapted from a bestselling book that began as a blog by an anonymous writer with the pen name Belle (as in the Catherine Deneuve movie “Belle de Jour”). The show is presented as the video diary of a high-class hooker who loves her work.

As Belle Ms. Piper is sexy and also appealing, Bridget Jones or Carrie Bradshaw as “The Happy Hooker.” The series tries to add some heft by padding the story with the complications of Belle’s double life, switching from her off-color career to her circle of friends and relatives, who know her as Hannah and have no idea that she is a call girl. Belle tells people that she works as a legal secretary in a huge international law firm with terrible hours.

The show’s overall tone is sassy and irreverent, but Belle’s adventures are mostly banal, a graduated and escalating series of classic scenes from X-rated movies, from oral sex to threesomes and orgies. So Fetch!....

Marie Digby, wheeew I love her! I can't take that "Say it again" song off my mind. This young, Los Angeles-based folk-pop lady rocketed to renown last year with a bare-bones YouTube cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" that garnered millions of views and eventually found its way to top 40 radio and MTV's "The Hills." A slightly souped-up version of "Umbrella" closes out Marie Digby's debut, but original material dominates "Unfold," which should appeal to fans of Vanessa Carlton, Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. As her YouTube clips make clear, Digby has a voice worthy of the solo-acoustic approach. Now this album deserves a spot on my ipod.

ok! I have to go.....I miss my blogsite so much! :) Is that 5000 readers already? oh my, that proves that a lot of people are being useless nowadays lmao :) this is so fetch. keep rockin.

I am me,

Liar, liar

Liar, liar,

It's your desire,

To put me in your hell,

Twisted stories,

Never-ending,

All this conflict,

My heart will never mend.

Sorry,

Just shove the words back in your mouth,

I cannot see the truth from lies,

It's blinding me, too harsh for my eyes.

Liar, liar,

See my eyes, they burn with fire,

See my cuts,

From you,

They can't undo,

Must you hurt me,

Use my pain for your pleasure.

On your knees,

Begging for forgiveness,

Mercy, please,

I can't take it, it eats me bit by bit.

Liar, liar,

With my tears do you get higher,

I fight the demon,

Ripped to pieces,

Torn apart,

Can't you see all of what you've done.

Liar, liar,

Leave me alone,

Go to hell,

That's where you belong.

Soundcheck

***** Oooh, I'm Addicted to her!

One of the Boys was released by Capitol Records last June 17th, 2008 and debuted at Number 9 in the Billboard Charts. Her current single "I kissed a girl" is Number 1 in the billboard charts as well.

Ever since the November 2007 digital release of the hilarious, zeitgeist-capturing single “Ur So Gay,” Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Katy Perry has been wowing critics and fans alike (including the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna) with her big voice, sassy attitude, and feisty, confessional songs. Perry’s debut album, One of the Boys, is a sharp, witty pop-rock gem filled with candid tales of neurotic ex-boyfriends (“Hot N Cold,” “Ur So Gay”), crazy road trips with friends (“Waking Up in Vegas”), and figuring out who you are along the way (first single “I Kissed A Girl,” “Fingerprints”). While the album displays Perry’s feisty, girl-power swagger, it also reveals her more vulnerable side on such regretful ballads as “Lost,” “I’m Still Breathing,” and “Thinking of You.”“I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides,” Perry says. “The whole angst thing is cool, but if that’s all you’ve got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it’s happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it. Someone told me the other day that I’m a bit like Lucille Ball. They said, ‘You look pretty put together on the outside, but inside there’s just something a bit wrong.’”Though, just 23, the Santa Barbara, CA-born Perry has been writing songs and playing guitar for several years, and possesses the flair and confidence of a veteran storyteller. Catch her in all her glory this summer when she joins the Vans Warped Tour for its entire coast-to-coast run.

Positively Somewhere

.

Yesterday: Things got really out of control this past months, I lost a job and I thought I was experiencing an emotional breakdown. I was so stressed out dealing with problems, there are even times when I get tired, really tired of thinking about solutions. Some said It was badluck but I say this will not happen if I was careful enough with my decisions. I was not organized, I was out of control, My friends are affected because of my attitude. I swear to God I almost led them to destruction!

I was very impatient and I always blame every single thing on earth for whats's happening to me. I knew deep inside that I killed myself. I thought I was stupid. I thought I was unworthy.

My Friends, they were always there for me. Always ready and willing to lend a hand. I thank God for blessing me with these kind of people. I love them so much!

.

I recieved an SMS message from one of my friends and was moved by it:

"When it rains, all the birds fly for shelter. But Eagle alone avoids the
rain by flying above the clouds - Problems are common to all but attitude makes the difference."

It was a simple message. Yes. I'm an Eagle I thought. I realized na It's essential pala to see your problems objectively without pre-labeling them as negative..... Have fun or else your problems will have fun of you!

Problems, obstacles, disappointments, or whatever we like to call them, are a fact of life. Things simply do not always happen the way we want them to, or go according to plan. Everyone has to face and deal with problems throughout their lives. Being able to handle problems more effectively will make a great difference to our lives. The Power of Positive Thinking! Practice it!

Today: Well I'm back to school and things are going smoothly, I have a new job and a new crush :) Im a bit dissapointed coz I have to be away from my friends for a while but I believe na andyan lang sila sa tabi tabi and nothing will change sa friendship namin.

Happy Birthday Santi! My lovable Siberian Husky is now a year old!

Ok im sleepy nah. Im gonna finish a cool Anne Rice's book. Only a few chapters left! wheeew! that's new ha! (frustrated reader ba kamo?)

I am me,

Major Victory for Animals: KFC Campaign

I have great news! Thanks to the help of PETA's more than 2 million members and supporters, we've just scored a major victory for chickens killed by fast-food chain KFC.

Following more than five years of intense campaigning, numerous undercover investigations, and over 12,000 demonstrations against KFC around the world, I'm happy to announce that KFC Canada will be making sweeping changes to the ways it raises and kills chickens slaughtered for its restaurants. KFC Canada agreed to this historic new animal welfare plan following seven months of closed-door negotiations with PETA. With today's announcement, the company plans to do the following:

-Phase in purchases of 100 percent of its chickens from suppliers that use controlled-atmosphere killing (CAK)—the least cruel form of poultry slaughter ever developed. KFC Canada is the first major restaurant chain to commit to phasing in the exclusive purchasing of chicken meat from CAK slaughterhouses.

-Make a vegan faux-chicken item available at the majority of KFC restaurants in Canada.

-Improve its animal welfare criteria to reduce the number of broken bones and other injuries suffered by birds.

-Urge its suppliers to adopt better practices, including improved lighting, lower stocking density and ammonia levels, and a phaseout of growth-promoting drugs and breeding practices that painfully cripple chickens.

-Form an animal welfare advisory panel to monitor the changes and recommend further advancements.

However, outside Canada, KFC has yet to stop the worst abuses of chickens. We are now focusing on using this momentum to force KFC—both in the United States and around the world—to meet the new standards set by KFC Canada. By making an urgent donation today, you can help our campaign work to spread these improvements for animals to all of KFC's stores worldwide.

In short, PETA's KFC campaign is far from over. We will continue to pressure KFC to stop the worst abuses of chickens, like scalding birds to death, slitting their throats while they're still conscious, and drugging and breeding them to grow so large that they cripple beneath their own weight.

Please write to KFC in the U.S. using its on-line comment form urging it to make the same changes worldwide that KFC Canada has made. Please also take a moment to e-mail info@priszm.com (KFC Canada's parent company) and thank them for raising the bar on animal welfare.

P.S. There are still tens of millions of chickens who are routinely raised and slaughtered by KFC in the United States and other countries each year; they suffer through the same conditions that are no longer tolerated by KFC Canada. By making a much-needed donation today, you can help us fight and win better lives for all chickens killed for KFC worldwide.

Kentucky Fried Cruelty: For You

How about a bucket?

Ghost Whisperer

"My name is Melinda Gordon, I just got married. I just moved to a small town. I just opened an antiue shop. I might be just like you. Except from the time I was a little girl I knew I could talk to the dead. Earthbound spirits my grandmother called them. The ones who have not crossed over because they have unfinished business with the living and they come to me for help. To tell you my story. I have to tell you theirs."

I have decided not to let other critics try to influence my opinions. Okay, I’m not a robot…I can make up my own mind obviously, but sometimes the opinions of other critics make me dread watching a movie or a TV show. Almost every critic said that CBS’s “Ghost Whisperer” wasn’t a good show, so when I finally got the opportunity to watch my DvD’ed episodes of the show, I really liked it.

When Melinda Gordon was little, she saw dead people, but rather than be freaked out by them, she used her ability to help people by communicating with them and resolving unfinished business with the living before they crossed over into Heaven or wherever. They were “Earthbound spirits” her grandmother (June Squibb), who had the gift as well, used to call them. Now that she is an adult, Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) still sees ghosts, but she doesn’t always understand her powers. The living don’t always believe that she sees ghosts (they think that she is a con artist), and the dead don’t always believe that they are really dead. She recently became married to Jim Clancy (David Conrad), a paramedic working at Mercy Hospital, and she moved with him to a small town called Grandview. Jim decided to become a paramedic after watching his younger brother Dan (Rodney Scott) die when they were children in an accident. He is supportive of Melinda and her talents, but he only asks if she can balance it with the rest of the things in their life. Currently, he has been busy renovating the house that they live in when he isn’t at work. Melinda’s friend and business partner in their antique store called Same As It Never Was Antiques, Andrea Moreno (Aisha Tyler), knows about her powers as well, but isn’t always sure how to help her. She was an assistant D.A. back in New York, but now she likes the small town life. Melinda is sometimes confused by the messages given to her by the ghosts, but she always helps her clients, alive or dead, find their emotional closure before they go into the light (which only the ghost can see.)

The ghosts come in three versions: silly, sweet, and (supposedly) scary. The silly ones are the average-looking people whom Melinda doesn’t even realize is a ghost until they notice that she can see them (and they usually ask for simple things, like finding a safe deposit key in a raincoat pocket.) The sweet ones aren’t scary, but they are sappy as heck. They usually just want to tell a living loved one that they love them or they ask for their forgiveness. The scary ones look like they just crawled out of the grave, and the ominous music plays in the background (followed by trippy dreams, a la NBC’s “Medium.”) They don’t scare me, and so far, they never mean any harm to Melinda or anyone else (except when they try to encourage the living to do harm, when they make things explode to freak the living out, or when they want to mess with the living’s head by possessing them.)

John Gray created the show, and it is based in part on the work of medium James Van Praagh (who also serves as the co-executive producer for the show.) It isn’t very scary, but it is heartwarming, which is an odd mixture. I like to think of it more as a “Highway to Heaven”-type show rather than a “Touched By an Angel”-type show, only because the acting and writing is better.

No offense to Patricia Arquette, but I personally think that Hewitt is a better actress than she is (Arquette may have won the Emmy for Best Actress in “Medium,” but I was shocked that she was even nominated, much less won…and I like the show!) Sure…Hewitt is obviously hot, and she doesn’t hide her ample assets in some of those tops she wears, but hotness doesn’t always translate into good acting. She can be believable in her character, and her chemistry with Conrad is good. He is just essentially a plot device, since he doesn’t have too many scenes, but I like him. Tyler is another matter. I liked her when she was the host of E!’s “Talk Soup,” but as an actress, she isn’t the best. I hope that they do an episode where gets to stretch her chops a little more.

I guess my other fear about watching the show was the involvement of Van Praagh. I hated the 2002 CBS miniseries “Living with the Dead,” starring Ted Danson, and his show “Beyond with James Van Praagh” was just a rip-off of “Crossing Over with John Edwards” (actually…both shows sucked.) Maybe the problem is that I don’t believe in ghosts. It’s weird, because I do believe in some superstitions and fate. Real ghost stories are always lame to watch for me personally (that’s why I don’t like the Sci-Fi Channel’s “Ghost Hunters”), but fictional ghost stories aren’t bad if they are told right, and this show gets it right.

Am I glad that “Ghost Whisperer” replaced one of my favorite shows on TV…“The OC?” No, I’m not…but at least I’m not from the same crowd that is panning it. If I did believe in ghosts, it would be a nice thought that there were real spirits out there that wanted help from me so that they could go into the light. This show may be a little sappy at times, but the good writing and performances save it from going overboard in the sap department.
