Or maybe not. But it was some three days ago. I turned twenty-one and it was fun. Now, looking at the photos, I realized who my astro-sisters were: Moy and Hanna. A dormant shumboy and a post-break up gal the two are, patiently listening to this angry girl's rants and tirades. Oh why do I love them? Because we practically love everything together: books, music, movies (although they have way better taste than I'll ever have, for, as some know, I am too lazy to look around). We are dusts of the same star, new-borns delivered by the same stork, and pollens taken from the same flower. Yeah, cliche, but who the fuck cares, right?
We may not have known each other forever, the important thing is that we have one another now. Someone out there knows how thankful I am for the two of you. :)
I love you, gals. You made the first day of the twenty-first year of my life lovelier.
I just started watching NBC's Chuck this summer and I fell deeply in love with it. Now it is under fire with the impending cancellation, so we need to do something to stop that. So I'm making my list why Chuck should still air.
Here's my top seven reasons to LOVE Chuck
note: I might, and most probably, edit this later.
1. The Dorks I mean, who wouldn't love the dorks at Nerd Herd? Who? They are absolutely adorable. Chuck Bartowski's wit, adorable smile, sweet, comforting words, and awkward statements always win hearts. Morgan Grimes' amazing ideas (yeah, remember the cage fight for the Assistant Manager position?) and supportiveness is super sweet. Jeff's creepiness verges on the funny (but still creepy if you'll think about it), while Lester's attempt on coolness - although pathetic and somewhat annoying - still deserves some credit.
2. The Gals I know the fight scenes are just really for you dorkies out there who fantasize over strong women and shit, so I am letting it go. I don't want to rain on your parade, anyways. It is also undeniable that the girl fights are also a big attraction on the show. I mean dorks and hot girls on one feeding? Now that's reality and fantasy meshed for most viewers. Now you can identify with Chuck Bartowski or Morgan Grimes and dream of having a Sarah Walker or Anna Wu as your girl. Amazing, right?
3. John Casey Now who could resist a grunting, tough guy on the outside but sweet and sensitive person in the inside for a potential friend? I, myself, love Casey. He's amazing. The repressed person in him shows his humane side - cliche, but adorable. Plus Adam Baldwin's really cute in a scary way.
4. Ellie and Captain Awesome Because they are just the most ideal people in the world! I love how sweet they are to each other, and to Chuck. They're just too cute!
5. The Other Good Looking, Visiting Spies I do not know if good looks are really required to be an agent, but really, those who are visiting the intersect are such eye candies! Name one who looks like shit and they'll kick your ass.
6. Amazing Musical Scoring Well, yeah. I'm a bit biased because I know most of the songs and the artists they used in the show. But this is my list! I get to write and enumerate why I love the show. And any single show that used Rogue Wave, Eels, Bon Iver, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Spoon, Band of Horses, Flight of the Conchords, Ra Ra Riot, and The Hives (among of course other amazing artists) is definitely an AMAZING series for me. P.S. I almost had a heart attack when "Skinny Love" played in Chuck Vs. The Break Up. I let "Lake Michigan" and "No One's Gonna Love You" go, but "Skinny Love" really did it for me. I'm still waiting for "Signs" to play, maybe then I'll get a real heart attack, or just faint in the least. P.P.S. Alright, I cheated. I looked up the list of songs played in the series 'cos I don't want to be surprised, Okay? And, yeah, I haven't caught up with the season yet. Hee hee.
7. All the cool people are watching it Alright. Maybe not. So maybe this is relative. Well, at least I think cool people are watching the show. :)
Please help save Chuck. Spread the word, campaign for a Season Three.
My friends and I have always been "protective" about the music we listen to. We don't like sharing playlists to non-friends (as we call other acquaintances) and especially to the unlikeable people. I know this is quite snobbish and arrogant of us, as if we have the best taste in music - and I am not even going near that one because I know there are tons of other people who can claim they have better taste in music than I have. It's just that, sometimes, don't you ever feel like you like something so much that the outside mediocre world will only under appreciate and exploit the greatness of that beloved thing? That's just what I always feel. Which is why I resolved to share only with friends and close family whom I know will love the stuff the way they should be loved.
I am so "protective" to my beloved bands that I hardly post their names, songs, or mp3s in my Multiply and Facebook accounts unless I can set them to private where only my kindred spirited friends can view.
This may sound unfair and ironic to the bands - that I love them too much I care who else are listening to them - but I really think that they will benefit from it, too. See, I'm an Indie lover, and I really think that the bands and artists I follow and love would prefer an appreciative (if not intelligent, 'cos that's just too picky right now) audience and fanbase rather than the mainstream crowd - and isn't that the reason why they are not on the mainstream anyways?
Okay, they may also claim that they want to educate the vast crowd to what real music is all about - and I am not saying that I am an expert myself - but I don't think I can participate on that level yet. I cannot just go around and make other people appreciate my Indies. God knows I am starting with my sister who prefers the Pussycat Dolls over Imogen Heap or Feist, and I think I can only tolerate her because she is my beloved little sister, but another blow like that, I might not make it.
So maybe this is why I'm starting another topic in this blog of mine - featured artists due to my inability to contain my love for certain bands and artists (and since this blog is obscure as ass that I hope the people who will end up clicking here are really looking for the artists I will be talking about).
So yes. There it goes. I will now decide upon which artist I'll be talking about in my next post.
A friend posted this photo in Facebook and I just had to save it. It is totally ominous. I feel like my future child will end up looking like it when he gets to attend his comic-con.
Why? Because for one, I'm quite hell-bent to have a gay child. Because, one, they are always loving to their mothers, and I kinda feel like I'd be one to shape a kid into gayness with my personality; two, my guy's a huge geek, he'll most probably rub some of it on the child. So in the end, I am expecting to have a gay geek child. Lovely, isn't it? :)
I have always been wanting to get a job that will require me to sit in front of my computer and just stay on the net. It is lovely and ideal and dreamy. I could do what I want with my time and just compensate later on when I already feel like it. But I never really had the time to rigorously check every site if they're legit with all my studies and all. But now, I have free time on my hands. And I am dying of boredom.
So what I'll be doing now is sharing my puny knowledge in the field by posting a trusted site one at a time. And my site for this post is: www.rarejob.com.
This site is looking for part-time English tutors for their customers in Japan. It is amazing because one only requires a proper internet connection (whether home or public), English skills, and a University of the Philippines credential. :)
