Thought For The Day

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don’t and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Tagged - My Blog Entry in MySpace

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

So the rules are, once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog with, at least, "seven weird facts/things/habits about yourself." Finish by choosing seven people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that says "you’re tagged" and tell them to read your blog.

So here it goes…

1. Whenever I see stacks of pastic cups, etc. that are not of the same height, I feel the urge to fix it and make it even. And depending on where I am, I probably will. - same goes for misspellings.

2. Can bend my fingers so far back that it almost touches the back of my hand, and still feel no pain.

3. I’ve left a friend hanging (literally) outside a hotel lobby, after he made a naked snow angel.

4. I can’t ride a bicycle.

5. Days before packing for a trip, I create a checklist of things I need to pack - AND items are listed in categories (i.e. Tops, Skirts, Shoes, etc.)

6. Alcohol will make me turn bright red, even though I’m not drunk or tipsy - type of alcohol and amount are irrelevant.

7. I’ve been called (and some still do) Ms. Chin.

On tagged list: Rigo (some say, I’m his female version - we’ll have to see if this is true); Joey (because there’s always something going on); Michelle (my roll dog! always a good time); Megan (because I’ve seen some pretty interesting things); Ferzan (someone who asks for McD’s right after a wedding can write about other weird things); Felicia (even after only knowing us for a few days in JA, she’s still friends with us); Amor (because the Montecillo clan are my friends I’ve known the longest - practically family! and i miss them)

My Boys

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

I’m a TV junkie, hate to admit it, but I am. I have certain shows that I need to watch every episode - Sex and the City (can never get enough of it, even though the show’s been over), Heroes (coolest new show), Grey’s Anatomy (McSteamy’s hotter than McDreamy, in my opinion), Veronica Mars (don’t laugh, even Stephen King thinks this is a great show), ER (after all these years, I still watch), etc. Most of these shows are on hiatus right now, at least until January. So I’ve been checking out other shows. One that caught my eye is this new show called My Boys (it’s on Tues., TBS - don’t know the time, DVR got me spoiled)

If I were to compare this show to another, I would have to say it’s an "ungirly-girl" Sex and the City. Let me explain… Like Sex and the City, the show chronicles the life and issues of a typical young, single woman. The difference is, she happens to be "one of the guys". Meaning, her best friends/her crew/the people she’s always with are all guys (about 5 of them). They all watch sports, go drinking, share stories, hang out and go to bars together, etc. Any issues she has or situation she’s in, the guys are there and somewhat right in the middle of it. She does have one female best friend, who is, shall we say, a lot more feminine (she doesn’t go out for a "drink", she goes for cocktails… and beer? try, a martini instead). And although that’s her best friend, it clearly shows that  she can relate more with the guys - her boys.

Now, anyone who knows me well enough can see why I find this show interesting. Albeit the fact that she compares life with sports (i’m not that hardcore), this show really reminds me of my crew and I, even after only watching two episodes. Their close knit relationship, their humor, even some of their issues remind me of me and the guys. Yes, I still have a few female close friends; yes, I usually hang out with guys; yes, apart from my cousin, my best friends are guys. But guess what - I love my boys!

We did used to say someone should make a show of us and our shenanigans. You think we should get copyrights for this show?

Officially Hooked

Monday, December 4th, 2006

I started updating my MySpace account because, as I’ve mentioned before, someone requested me to add as a friend. Then, I didn’t even realize I had an account in MySpace. However, as I continued checking and updating my profile and synchronizing it to my Friendster profile - pictures and blogs (call it laziness), I found myself leaning more towards MySpace.

So yes, now, I’m officially hooked on MySpace. I find myself checking it A LOT more than Friendster. Actually, I think I may have gone days without checking my account/profile on Friendster and yet, I’m constantly sending and receiving comments, messages over MySpace. I check my account/profile on MySpace everyday. Yup, talk about hooked. LOL…
