GLEE Season 2 is on!

Glee Season 2

As you very well know by now, GLEE Season 2 will be premiering across the globe today. GLEEks like me were anticipating the new season for a lot of reasons. Mine would be this…

Lea Michele Charice GLEE

A face-off between Lea Michele’s Rachel Barry character against newbie Charice’s Sunshine Corazon!

We all know how great Lea is. She was superb as Rachel in Season 1. I am sure she’ll be as great as or probably better than in the first season. As for Charice, the Filipino singing sensation is making waves across the globe right now. I can’t wait to see her face-off with Lea in the first episode!

Are you watching?

Supports himself

Mico is applying for one of the available airport jobs he found online at PhillyJobs.com. Mico is a runway traffic controller. He lost his job when a private hangar he was working for closed down. So he is now out of a job and badly needs one soon or he will run out of money to support himself.

Mico has been out of college for two years only. So he really wants to be able to work and work and save enough to pay off his college loan.

For baby Jeanie

Patty is getting a phil and teds explorer for her niece. They have all been waiting for baby Jeanie. It took Patty’s sister five years before she was finally able to conceive so you can just imagine how excited everyone is in their family.

Each one is volunteering to buy something for baby Jeanie. Toys, clothes, pillows, blankets, baby shoes, cribs… and she is the one who will buy the stroller! Such joy in the family right now!

Planning two vacations

Lovely and her kids are going on Orlando vacations this year and the next. They are already planning it. During school break and then on summer next year. Lovely is always on the road because of work so whenever her kids request something from her, she makes it a point to give in to their request and plan trips with them.

The kids are all excited. They are looking forward to it and they are already planning on where to go and what park ride to try and so many other things that kids have in mind.

Lady Gaga and the white Steinway piano

Lady Gaga Beatles

The photo above was tweeted by Sean Lennon, son of the late legendary Beatles member John Lennon. That’s Lady Gaga, playing on the famous white Steinway piano identified with the Beatles. The piano was a gift of John to Sean’s mother Yoko Ono. Apparently, fans of the Beatles were up in arms over the photo above.

I guess they didn’t want to see anyone playing on the piano?!?

Auctions to raise money

Several local artists have utilized an online auction during the aftermath of the devastating typhoon that hit the country last year. They auctioned off designer bags, gowns, shoes and other accessories. They were successful! Some items even sold at prices higher than the original price. The proceeds, of course, went to the different municipalities that were badly affected by the typhoon.

I think online auction was also used to help a friend whose mom was diagnosed with cancer. They used it to raise money to help with the hospital bills.

Still kids at their age

They played like kids at the wooden swing sets. They were pretty skinny persons so the swing sets were safe with their weights. They saw it while on the road and stopped by to get some rest. When the man and woman saw it, they squealed like kids and run to the swing sets like they’ve never seen one before.

I guess working since they were little kids can also have a negative effect on these individuals. They were slightly deprived of the things kids do. So now that they find time to do it, they do so like they were still kids even at their age.

Running an errand

She is running an errand for her uncle and will be picking up the spring plungers that he needs. He is a landscape artist. He is practicing his skills in his vast garden. He needs all kinds of supplies for it and since he hardly ever goes out of the house unless he’s bound to go to a client’s house, he just asks his nieces and nephews to pick some thing up for him.

Now, it’s her turn. She isn’t complaining as they all love their uncle to bits!

Affected by it

Intrigues have been hurled at her left and right. You can see that she’s worried about it even if she says otherwise. One look at her eyes and you will know. She looks like she needs the best eye wrinkle cream right now. She looks haggard and affected by everything being thrown her way.

Family, friends and well-meaning people from her group are advising her to ignore the intrigues. It won’t hurt her reputation since she has millions of fans that are supporting her in spite of everything. But she’s clearly affected and will continue being so until everything dies down.

Meantime, get her the eye cream as soon as possible! She needs it.

Hugh’s blues

Hugh Laurie

Hugh Laurie, House himself, is going to record a blues album! Who knew he’s musically inclined in real life?

He is self-taught. According to a news report, Hugh will be recording the album with guest musicians from New Orleans. Joe Henry from Warner Music will be producing the album.

I am sure it will be a big hit in France where Hugh is more popular than George Clooney or Brad Pitt. I will buy this album as soon as it hit stores. I am a fan of Hugh, too!

On trips every weekend

Johnny’s family is availing of the motor home repairs services that they got a couple of months ago. They are about to go on an out of town trip so the family’s making sure that the motor home is in good condition. They don’t want to encounter emergencies while on the road.

Johnny’s family always goes on trips. Every weekend, in fact. That’s the reason they bought a motor home in the first place. The trips are also a way for the family to spend quality time together since the entire week the kids don’t get to see much of their parents for both are working from sun up to sun down.

Shopaholic sister

Lilia’s sister is a shopaholic. Whenever she feels like it, you can find her shopping online. Her room is filled with clothes, bags, accessories and lots and lots of shoes! Her recent purchase is a pair of mbt shoes. She loves any pair of shoes and slippers that will look good on her and comfortable.

Anyway, Lilia’s sister can afford it. She has a really good job and still single. So she has no obligation towards anybody but herself. She also knows how to save most of her money so it’s okay to shop for her using the excess money from her savings.

In awe of the buildings

A group of tourists were fascinated by the steel buildings they saw in an area off the city limits here in the country. They came from a place where there’s more trees than buildings so they were really in awe of the rows and rows of buildings they saw.

I can relate to the tourists. I am also in awe of that place and I am a city dweller. I am the kind of person who loves skyscrapers around her. Of course, there are days when I feel like I need to be away from it all, too. But then I would miss the tall structures after a day or two.

The Lucky One

Have you noticed how the novels of Nicholas Sparks are being used to launch some actors into ‘bankability’?

There’s The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, Nights in Rodanthe, Dear John and The Last Song. There are more Sparks novels worthy of being translated into the big screen but I am sure studios are already studying which one they’ll get.

Dear John starred Amanda Seyfried while The Last Song had Miley Cyrus. Both movies did well in the box office. Now comes the latest in the Sparks collection… The Lucky One. There are reports saying that Zac Efron is in talks of starring in the movie adaptation.

Hmm… sounds promising if Zac’s there. What do you think?

Invest wisely

A local celebrity is lucky to be wise in her finances. She was able to invest her money wisely and is now living comfortably even without work. As she was advised to do, she saved and saved while she’s earning a lot during her prime. She is now looking on investing the earnings she’s getting out of her other investments. She’s thinking of investing in gold bullion.

A good friend told her to go to the US Gold Bureau site and gather information regarding investment in gold. She is really interested in buying some and is actually budgeting her money for it.
