Oakwood, now Manila Penn mutiny

My friend JJ broke me out of my TV reverie with the news that there was a sequel to the cast of characters at the Oakwood mutiny.
Reading the account from the blog of Ellen Tordesillas:
After a five-minute recess, the court resumed hearing Lim’s testimony. The prosecution was interrogating the general when LTSG James Layug suddenly [...]

TV-thon

So Helio and Julianne won DWTS. It’s the second time in a row that Julianne won the championship. And now she announced that she will be doing a country album. Hokay.
I watched the latest season of America’s Next Top Model tonight. Is it just me or are the girls less catty compared to previous episodes?
Now [...]

A story about a tree and a fine

Sometimes, when you read stories like these, you just wonder…
Out on a limb over trimming fiasco

Presidentiables

Manny Villar pimping himself as a presidentiable in 2010. Got a chance? As early as now, I doubt it.
Mar Roxas elected president of the Liberal Party, in preparation for his presidential bid. Will he make a difference in the country? I fervently hope but still remain skeptical.
GMA still in power by 2010? Never discount the [...]

Liveblogging Dancing with the Stars finale

I’m currently watching the Dancing With the Stars finale. Will update as I watch.
Mel B. came out sexy and danced up a storm. She didn’t get 10s, except from Bruno.
If Marie Osmond wins because of viewers votes, it will suck big time.
Who do I want to win? Either Mel B. or Helio. They dance really [...]

On Ruth Reichl

Currently reading Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise.

Happy Turkey Day!

Emma Bunton in Strictly Come Dancing

Before Mel B. joined Dancing With the Stars, U.S. edition, there was Spice Girl Emma Bunton in the original DWTS, Strictly Come Dancing. I must say the British are more brutal and tongue in cheek funny. At least Len and Bruno are on the U.S. version.

DWTS semi-final.

Exciting night on Dancing with the Stars.
Mel B and Max are the people to beat! They were amazing, amazing, amazing and they choose music that rocks and not stuffy old people music.
Mel B looks like she’s fun to hang out with. She’s so giddy and funny. I bet Eddie Murphy is eating his heart out [...]

Toilet paper

What’s with me and toilet paper recently?
Two weeks ago, I left the toilet paper at the drugstore I purchased because I simply forgot.
Today, I was retrieving stuff from my uncle’s trunk. Toilet paper was part of the stuff I was supposed to retrieve. I bought some at Rite Aid and my aunt gave me some [...]
