Tub of ice cream

I think I ate a tub of ice cream the other day. It was just so hot that day and I wanted something to cool me down. So I asked someone to get me a tub of ice cream. I was watching Glee that day and I didn’t realized that I already ate almost the whole tub myself! Sure, the heat lessened after that. But I felt sick after an hour. It felt like my throat was coated with sugar and it was so itchy!

Now, instead of buying apidexin to shed off the added calories and pounds from the tub of ice cream, I am drinking medicine for cough and colds.

Next time, I’d just suffer through the heat.

Helper at home

I am looking for a new laundry woman right now. The one I had is having problems with her feet and she’s getting eczema treatment for it. She said she’s allergic to rubber but she still kept on wearing her rubber slippers so her eczema worsened. She also kept on using the rubber gloves that I bought her before when I already bought a plastic one for her. She’s a stubborn old lady that’s set in her ways that’s why you can’t tell her what to do, even if it will benefit her.

We had the same kind of helper at home before. Stubborn and too sensitive. My mom once told her that she had body odor and that it could be cured if she just get it treated. She insisted she didn’t have it and even went to her relatives to tell on my mom. In the end, my mom let her go and her aunt who recommended her apologized to my mom. She really did have body odor, we found out in the end.

What’s got into him?

A certain local celebrity is being accused of womanizing. He’s in several blind items in tabloids and broadsheets alike. It is obvious that he’s the one in the write-ups but he isn’t saying anything. He is married to an equally popular actress. He is said to be a great husband. They have grown-up kids. He’s been touted as an ideal father and he probably doesn’t want that reputation tarnished.

But he’s been seen dating two models in separate occasions. He’s seen going out of a hotel with a well-known socialite and they were not coming from the hotel’s restaurant but upstairs. He is not being discreet about his affairs and people are already wondering what’s got into him lately?

Could it be the effect of the testosterone booster?

Letters to Juliet

Letters to Juliet

Another movie I wouldn’t want to miss… Letters to Juliet starring Amanda Seyfried. The trailer is very enticing and the story has a promise.

I hope this isn’t another disappointment. I’ve been way too excited about so many movies that in some I ended up being too disappointed for words.

Safety first.

He was almost hit by a nail on his eyes! Jerry is a carpenter during weekends. He is always being called by family and friends to help them repair what needs to be repaired in their houses. But since that incident happened, he learned that he needs to invest in safety glasses or he would go blind accidentally.

Safety is important. Now that Jerry is very much aware of it, he is telling his other carpenter friends to also invest in safety gear to avoid accidents from happening. Like go blind because of a nail.

Rude awakening

Why is it that we remember asking for that insurance quote whenever we attend a funeral? True. My friend and I both remembered we need to renew our life and health insurances but that we want to get new quotes first. This we remembered after attending a funeral of someone we both know. Sad but that’s the reality of life, I guess. We feel invincible until we see someone we know gone. Then we realize that we are mortals and can go in a snap of a finger.

Death really has a way of rudely waking us up.

Still regal looking

I am amazed at how regal a Hollywood celebrity still is. She is starring in an upcoming movie and when my dad saw the trailer it, he said the same thing. A wrinkle cream applied here and there and she’d beat the younger generation of stars for sure. She still looks drop dead gorgeous for her age. Can you now say how big a fan I am?

I wish I’d grow old that gracefully. But knowing me, I’d probably end up looking like a witch from hell if I don’t watch it.

GLEE goes Gaga!

If you haven’t seen the Lady Gaga episode of GLEE yesterday, you missed out on a lot of really good performances! I particularly love their Bad Romance performance. It’s so ferosh! I love it!!!

Here’s a video of the song. Too bad there’s no video of the actual episode segment. You should have seen how crazy their outfits were especially that of Kurt’s! Love it!

What do you think?

Creative!

Instead of throwing away used golf balls, a golf course nearby thought of using it to decorate a wall. They used it as substitute to tiles. It was very creative. People who pass by would often stop and look at it.

You know the environment needs our help. What the golf course did to the used golf balls was a clever way of getting rid of the balls without contributing to the junk of the environment. I applaud ideas like it.

Impatient person

I am a very impatient person. That’s the truth. I hate being made to wait. When I know something can be done right away and I am told to wait, I get irritated. I can be demanding if that’s the case. Like when I was waiting for the cheap insurance quotes from a friend’s agent. I was told that she could give it to me after two weeks. I was shocked! I know that you can get insurance quotes in hours, or within the day. But two weeks?!?

I changed agents and got the insurance quotes I need after two hours. I don’t know how that person can even sell an insurance policy if she’s like that.

Aged ten years

A neighbor of mine aged ten years because of a health scare problem one member of their family encountered recently. I remember hearing him tell my dad that a financial problem is easier to deal with and that they would welcome it anytime. But a health scare is something else.

You can see the effect of the problem on his face. He has deep worry lines on his forehead. Wrinkles have appeared as well. I hope it won’t happen to them again.

Incidentally, my sister reminded me to click here for wrinkle solution. Ever the vain one in the family…

The Last Song

The Last Song

To be quite honest about it, I don’t like Miley Cyrus at all but I love The Last Song! I normally don’t watch movies with actors that I don’t like but I made an exception for this movie because I’ve read the book and I really liked it.

And you know what? Miley wasn’t as annoying in this movie as she is to me. She’s actually way better than Mandy Moore in A Walk to Remember. Plus the story is really touching. It was well worth it!

Have you watched the movie already? What are your thoughts about it?

Besieged

A popular actress is being besieged by intrigue right now due to her husband’s infidelities. I read that she’s looking for a place to go to. A peaceful place where she will be away from the chaos that has become her life now. I think that she should look at the Tamarindo Real Estate properties being offered. There are condos and homes that are being sold to locals and non locals alike. When you know life is dealing you with bad cards, sit back and take stock of what you have. Then go someplace quiet so you can contemplate the next steps you will have to take.

I wish I can tell the actress to go to TamaridoRealtor.com to find the place she needs to be in right now.

True Blood Season 3 poster

True Blood Season 3 poster

I’ve been seeing this promotional poster from the upcoming True Blood Season 3. What a teaser, right? I am a huge True Blood fan! I saw all the episodes of both Season 1 and 2. I actually plan on doing a marathon again before the start of Season 3 on June 13.

I can’t wait to know what happened to Vampire Bill and to know the story of the werewolves! And to feast my eyes on my beloved Eric. Sigh.

Willie and Wowowee

I admit it, I love reading gossip columns! Who doesn’t? My day isn’t complete without reading PEP.ph or the Philstar column of Ricky Lo. I usually read it in the early morning. What a gossip, I know!

So the raging topic among columnists right now is the Willie Revillame-Wowowee issue. I didn’t care about that issue until I read that Willie’s earning close to 25 million pesos a month! And he’s so ungrateful of the TV station who gives him that much? Wow! I would love to earn even 1/25 of that in a month! I wouldn’t be ungrateful, I swear.

I can’t imagine how some people can be discontented about their good fortune in life. God has given them so much and they were thumbing their noses on the instruments He used to give them that kind of blessings. In Willie’s case, he’s thumbing his nose on ABS-CBN.

He should be grateful to the station who gave him one chance too many.
