The Bachelor Bug

Who thinks that the Bachelor Series is a lame excuse for entertainment?

(kyela raises both arms and waves them in the air)

Well, okay used to watch some random episodes when I'm bored and there's nothing else to watch. Stupidity is sort of entertaining sometimes. I don't remember what seasons I was able to watch but just the thought that the goal is to make the Bachelor fall in love with you when you have 25 other girls to compete with is too crazy of a plot.

In the last episode that I saw, there were only 3 girls left (i don't know their names, i just remember them by their hair color: 2 blondes and 1 raven-haired) and each one had an overnight date with the Bachelor somewhere in Hawaii. Overnight dates! C'mon! Don't tell me there's not the least bit squirmy feeling just thinking about your 2 other competitors spending the evening with your prince charming when you've laid your heart bare, vulnerability forgotten, in the hopes that he chooses you in the end. The show's a piece of crap, really.

What's even more interesting is that young, single, beautiful ladies do join the madness. UNBELIEVABLE! But I guess people are willing to do anything for attention and cash.. and if you're not chosen in the end, you still stand a chance at starring in the next season of The Bachelorette! Why settle for anything less, right? Of course I'm just being sarcastic.

when cheesy just doesn't cut it

thinking that i only have 3 work days this week is sweet. =) still not sure what i'll do on my birthday, but anyhow, just the fact that i get to skip work and start the weekend 2 days early is treat enough for me.

and so i found a bootleg of You Changed My Life a couple days ago (courtesy of Limwire pro 5.0). 30 minutes into the movie and i was more than happy to let go of my headset and start blogging about it.. cheese factor is coming out of my nose by the time Laida (Sarah Geronimo) took her cell and called Migs (John Lloyd Cruz) and exchanged their undying love for each other or i think they were in a bout of who loved he other more. Also, a notable appearance is Macoy (Rayver Cruz) who suddenly pops up just because he and Sarah and an item in real life? WTF? I like the first movie better. I should've taken Gena's advice not to watch it. Glad I did not have to spend anything in exchange for that sleazy first 30 minutes or so.. I'll go free some disk space by doing myself a favor and erasing the film.

I Carry Your Heart With Me by E.E. Cummings

I watched In Her Shoes last night and I really liked this poem Maggie (Cameron Diaz) read at her sister's (Toni Collette) wedding. 

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere

i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done

by only me is your doing,my darling)

i fear

no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want

no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

I'm always like this every single Monday

And so I watched Stop-Loss yesterday even when I was supposed to be studying 63.. It was after 3 chapters that I decided to put the book down and take a break. And by break I meant movie break. haha.

It's been a while since I enjoyed a war movie. Guess 80% accounted for the fact that the cast was eye-candy, even Abbie Cornish Ü HAHA. But I honestly liked the simplicity and how the film took me to the Iraq experience through the soldiers' eyes. Ryan Philippe was exceptional and I was surprised at Channing Tatum's performance as well. I mean, I was so used to seeing him shake his booty in his Step Up films that I didn't realize what a good actor he truly is. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was also great and this movie did his talent justice. Too bad he.. (I really shouldn't say. Go watch the movie to find out!)

Saturday was fun with Gena, Rom and Mel. Too bad Behng wasn't able to make it but I am positive she did enjoy splurging on her new shoes! We had lunch and hung out at Gale and when Rom and Gena had to go, Mel and I moved to Figaro to wait for Jazzy. By 4.30pm, I was ready to go home as well. (Went there straight out of my shift, hence the lack of sleep and optimal energy). Good times though. Wish we can see each other more often.

Anyways, here I am again counting the days 'til it's weekend. I'm always like this every single Monday and I realize that it gonna be 5 nights of working my ass off again. Okay I'm exaggerating. It really isn't that hard. I just get a knack out of making it sound like the toughest job in the world. Honestly, the way to getting here is the hard part but I won't go into details anymore. I just feel lazy (AGAIN!) that's all. And if I plan on changing this outlook anytime soon, I better drag myself to doing 2 more chapters before lunch.

I might be back later though. Who knows.
