krispy kreme in chubugzezofzix

krispy kreme...yummy....

a few sundays ago, i went to krispy kreme in ayala......when i got there, the girl at the counter greeted me....i said hi also....she then began to ask me what i would order so i said a dozen dougnuts....before i could point to her my choices she asked me something which i didn't understand....it sounded like "wuzzzuleikthetinchubugzezofzixorinjezzhuanbogz?" ....if she could read my thought bubbles it would say "what on earth are you talking about? are you from venus?".....her accent was so out-of-this-world.....but because i was in a good mood, i decided to 'play'with her....if she used a venus accent, i talked to her with an accent from mars......i asked "quemegein"......she was clueless about what i said so she just stared at me for a few seconds....then she said "i'm sorry i didn't understand what you said" to which i replied "don't worry i didn't understand you either"....and then we started laughing....what she first asked pala was if i wanted the doughnuts in 2 boxes of 6 or in just 1 box....hay......


anyway i so love their new york cheesecake and cookies 'n cream.....

hey, anyone.......send me naman a box of these doughnuts.....i wouldn't mind if you send them in chubugzezofzixorinjezzhuanbogz.....haha

marian rivera

i chanced upon the picture of marian rivera in pep (philippine entertainment portal)....the picture was taken during the fhm party were the sexiest women in the world were recognized....hala, ang ganda talaga ni marian....

how she became famous is really amazing.....imagine after appearing as nanay of some starstruck girls eh she's bida already.....it just shows that not everything can be 'rushed'.....she really worked hard to get to where she is now.....

i just hope that she would learn to appreaciate and be grateful to the people who helped in her success......syempre most of the credit should be given to her because she worked hard for it.....but she wouldn't have done it if the big bosses in her network did not take that 'risk' of putting her in the title role of marimar and dyesebel.....in the future she might be offered chances to work in other networks....she may be offered with very good projects....or even higher talent fees....and as 'carreer move' baka okay lang yon.....but she must always be grateful to the ones who gave her that chance to be sikat......there may be a lot of good opportunities that may be difficult to ignore.....but there are also a lot of ways to grab those opportunities without offending the people who have helped you.......learn from the mistakes of others......wag na ulitin......

pinoy idol

have you seen pinoy idol recently?....or have you seen it at all?.....i try to watch it everytime i get the chance to....initially i felt bad that the ones whom i think were worthy to become the first pinoy idol were booted out early in the competition.....kasi i kind felt that walton zerrudo and bev ejercito should have been part of the final 12.....i also felt that robby should have stayed longer in the competition.....at least up to the final three perhaps?......but anyway that's how the show goes (this show is pattterened after american idol after all)....voters decide and not the judges......the judges could only do so much......what i still like about the show is that most of the finalists are improving.....i specifically noticed daryl celis.....at first i said this guy should have been one of the first to go.....but week after week he has shown how determined he is into improving his craft....there is still much to be desired in terms of the quality of his voice but the way he gives 'feelings' to the song he sings has really gone a few notches higher....gretchen is also slowly gaining confidence on stage.....penelope is becoming a really very good performer....she knows how to use the stage now and she has also learned how to 'connect' with the audience......i do hope that the others will also rethink about their strategies......patapos na e.....they can't just be good and remain that way.....they have to constantly improve.....otherswise kakasawa sila.....
who do you think will win?
ako i go for penelope, ram or daryl (seriously may chance sya if he'll continue to improve....tsaka i think he is popular e...at the end of the day the voters decide who will win....sila naman ang bibili ng albums in the future eh, hehe....)

of weddings....and videos

a friend of mine is preparing for their wedding next year....they asked my help (did they ask or did i volunteer to help?....i can't remember really) in their preparations....first thing we tried to do was to look for a wedding videographer....we looked at a lot of studios but i particularly like two: smart shot and jason magbanua....let me give my impressions on the two....

smart shot: the wedding videos are very nice....you could really feel the emotions circulating in the air during the wedding as if you were there yourself....close up shots of the bride and the groom look very, very good....well that is expected because they were really made to look good for that they....but the close up shots of the guests are even better....even those guests who didn't come well prepared (i.e. no make up....disheveled hair....casual clothes....) appear to be taken straight out of the cover of cosmo or vogue....the way they present these pictures in the video brings out a certain kind of beauty on their faces....amazing....the 'engagement session' clips are also very nice....cinematic ang dating....its like you are transported to someplace really, really romantic....

jason magbanua:lupet....the videos are so nice it is hard to tell if they are real but appears like a well thought of and well made movie....or they are 'movies' well thought of and well made they appear so real....the kind of filters (is that how you call it?....or is there even such a thing) and transitions he uses are so unique you're are really going to get glued on the screen....and the shots that are seemingly so 'wrong' or at the very least 'unnecessary' (close up shot of the groom's(or is it the father of the bride's) tummy while he is buttoning his barong....or the close up shot of the bestman's hand while butting the sleeves of the groom) were used so well they come out very nice giving the video that mood that is difficult to describe....basta....his videos make you wanna get married right that moment (if only to have a video as emotionally charged as those that he makes) i particulary like the one i saw on youtube entitled jason magbanua award winning video....i also like the one entitled a jason magbanua video (wedding of cielo and jp....the music is an original composition of the groom....he sang it too)....the choice of song is also very commendable....

if ill be the one to decide on which videographer to get for their big day, ill choose jason magbanua....but i wouldn't mind smart shot as well....

wimbledon 2008

do you like watching tennis on tv?

ako i do.... since i can't play tennis, i just content myself with watching it on tv (or on the net)..... i like martina hingis and andy roddick....i also like roger federer and rafael nadal.....

it was really unfortunate that i didn't get to see the finals match of wimbledon this year (2008)....actually if did, i wouldn't know whom to cheer for....it would have been a big dilema on my part....

anyway, i pity federer for not winning his 6th wimbledon title....it was sad because i think he did not just loose a championship....he also lost that chance to make tennis history....and from the looks of it, he appears to be 'expecting' to be the first to have 6 wimbledon titles in a row so it was doubly painful....sayang....i really can't blame him for being bitter about his loss (he appeared bitter, dont you think?)....who wouldn't be....

on the other hand, rafa has every reason to celebrate....first, he really deserves that win....he played very well in that game (as always)....he has the right to be proud for making that history roger failed to make...i mean he didn't get to have 6 wimbledon titles in 6 years but he prevented that from happening....that's history in itself, right?....and his victory is not just for himself but for the rest of the professional tennis players....i mean for a long time, roger seems to be unbeaten....more especially on grass....most especially there at wimbledon....but rafa was able to prove that there is always chance....that there is always hope....

this moment is a very good story to use in motivating people who have lost hope....i mean what more can you ask for....everything was there for history to happen....the number one player in the world defending his title for the 5th time on the surface he loves so much in front of a crowd who loves him as much only to find himself losing to a guy who has been losing against him slam after slam after slam on the 5th set after putting on a brave and successful comeback on the 3rd and 4th sets after being down in the first two sets....(whew! that is long!)....lesson here is that no matter how seemingly impossible the situation is, if you prepare well and you put your mind into your goal, you may succeed....at the very least you will have that chance to succeed....no one in this world is invincible anyway....

for my friends out there....never loose hope....
