Mdoern Family is fun, smart and makes you want to be a part of their family. Sofia Vergara is awesome. But IMO, the real star of the show, is the kid who plays Manny.
I can't help but think about how old Ed O'Neill is now though. Most people remember him as Al Bundy because of Married With Children but he'll always be "Uncle Kev"(in O'Shea) to me.
Everything I learned about myself, I learned from Little Giants. Loved his line "Does Veronica like Archie?" to point out the obvious.

- 13:05 I admit i am rooting for pacquiao. 5th round na!!!! #
- 13:12 Oohhh Cotto won the 6th. He might win this one. #
- 13:13 @KimReginaR mukha nga. Kasi di na sanay si pacquiao sa mahabang fight kasi round 3 pa lang tumba na usually. #

Watching Pacquiao vs. Cotto on TV on this obscure Malaysian channel. Cotto has been down twice already. 6th round na. This is a stretch for Pacquiao already. He usually ends it in the third.
Malay adverts are pretty funny. They come with subtitles!!!
Okay, turns out, it's not a Malay channel but Indonesian. They have a common word "mandiri" - I wonder what that means. And oh, Pacquiao won! Mayaman na naman ang lolo mo!

I actually preferred the Backstreet Boys over *NSYNC but I didn't totally dislike *NSYNC. In fact I had a 5 minute crush with Justin Timberlake when he did that snarling grin (or summat) in their video for Bye Bye Bye.
I remember this performance. I was able to catch this on TV. I think I even VCR'd it. That was the fad back then you know. VCR. No TIVO, no DVR, just plain old VCRs. At first I thought wow, this was siccckkkk (in a good way) but then it just went downhill when they did the rapping thing with It's Gonna Be Me.

- 20:19 @RrHilton I Knerr Right #
- 20:23 @suplada I guess I'm relieved - there's a sense of logic why I'm addicted to Top Chef - cos it really is a good show! #
- 20:32 Grr. I hate this. I can't find a proper travel agent that will help me with Europe!!!!!! #
- 20:36 If you were given a week to have a holiday in Europe and choose just 1 country, which country would you choose and why? Italy? France? UK? #
Does this mean my boy Michael is next?
Or worse - this means that rotten Robin is still safe!!! Argh! I hate her!!!
That's my ideal final four right up there with the following placing:
4) Kevin Gillespie
3) Jennifer Carroll
2) Michael Voltaggio
1) Bryan Voltaggio
Bryan wins in my book because he didn't blow his fuse (as much) even when Michael was obviously provoking him - plus he won the Robuchon challenge. IMO, that's the hardest challenge to date.
Michael's second because runners up in Top Chef really are the top dawgs in the competition. Stefan, Richard Blais, Hubert Keller.
Putting Jennifer on 3rd because overall I think she had some of the strongest dishes but lately the pressure of the competition has been bad to her game.
Kevin is 4th because I can't get over the fact that he won the veggie challenge when my boy Michael should have been the winner.
Sorry, I'm biased. I'm in love with the guy. :p

Just want to give a random update in case I have the urge and look back at what I've been up to lately.
1) I haven't smoked in a month.
2) I've been eating like a cow since I've become a "regular" person.
3) Ever since I've stopped smoking I'm always thirsty.
4) I'm going to South Korea in 2 weeks (26-30 November!).
5) I didn't expect it, but now I have a boss who is from India and I'm thinking going back to work has been a rubbish idea.
6) I don't crush on T.O.P that much as you can see but it has been replaced with a very unhealthy obsession with Michael Voltaggio.
7) I hate where I work right now. Not so much the work when I think about it but the people. Ewst.
8) I miss wearing jeans. Or the need to buy more jeans.
9) I miss wearing sneakers. And the need to buy more sneakers.
10) I cannot go to sleep without drinking milk.
11) I use an iPhone 3G now! I don't know if I blogged the day that I got it. It has scratches all over now. Dang it.
12) I'm going to NY. I'm going to NY! I will be in New York the 20th of December until the 27th. I won't be spending Christmas with my family but I will be home on the 31st so I'm home on New Year. Some say I should welcome the New Year in NY but I'd rather welcome it with my family this time around since the last 2 years I have been with friends. Time for family, I say.
That's it.

2 November 2008. The Rooney's have a baby boy. :) Congrats to Wayne! Hopefully this will make him more mature. But who am I to say that, right? :p
They named the baby Kai. I think it's a sweet name for a boy. I have a friend named Kai but she's a girl.
Argh. Now I have baby aches. If I had a baby boy, I'd name it Luigi. I've always been set on that name to be honest. I had a dream once that Rio and I had a baby and I named it Luigi. Luigi Ferdinand. But alas. He settled for a Lorenz. :p
Interesting tidbit on the name "Kai":
What is Kai?
Kai si the 68th most popular name for baby boys in the UK for the year 2008. It has several meanings around the world.
In Burma it means unbreakable. In Nigeria, it can mean love. In Japan, it translates to "the ocean" and in Chinese Mandarin it means victory.
In ancient Persian it meant Great King and in Scandinavia, "keeper of the keys".
Wayne on his way to the hospital.
Coleen gets a lot of slack from the press but I've always liked her and her clothes!
This is the closest to my weight Coleen has gotten to. ^_~

Henrik Larsson bids tearful goodbye after final match of his careerSeeing you in a red shirt is a football dream come true. It's every football fantasy's players wish to have you on their team and for that to manifest in reality is just something else regardless if it was just a few months.
By Telegraph staff and agencies
Published: 11:19AM GMT 29 Oct 2009
Striker Henrik Larsson bid an emotional farewell to football last night, admitting his decision to retire had left an "emptiness".The 38-year-old took to the pitch for the final time in Helsingborg's 2-0 Allsvenska defeat to Djurgarden, bringing the curtain down on a career spanning two decades.
Larsson has been prolific during his time as a professional footballer, scoring over 300 goals during spells with Helsingborg, Feyenoord, Celtic, Barcelona and Manchester United.
He was also a vital member of the Swedish national team, making over 100 appearances in the blue and yellow shirt and helping them finish third at the 1994 World Cup.
It was a tearful Larsson who faced a standing ovation at Helsingborg's Olympia stadium last night.
And he admitted he found it difficult to keep his emotions in check as tributes from the likes of Sweden coach Lars Lagerback, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and international team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic were played at the ground.
"It really hits you when you meet all this love," he said. "I'm normally quite a cool character but right now I feel like I could cry.
"It's huge to be able to end it on our home ground and it has to end some time.
"It's rubbish to end things this way (with a defeat) but you can't have everything in life."
Larsson was also moved by Helsingborg's decision to retire the No 17 shirt in his honour.
"It's a fantastic gesture by the club, to retire it for ever. I'm very moved," he said.
Larsson, who will not play in Helsingborg's final match of the domestic season at Elfsborg on Sunday, will now take time out to think over how best to fill the void left by his retirement.
He has already been linked with several coaching jobs, although he gave few hints as to what the future holds.
"I don't know if I have to go down to the employment agency and do certain things, but I have the luck and luxury to be able to say no to jobs which are offered to me," he said.
"But obviously there is an emptiness at present, and I need to fill that emptiness with something.
"I'm fortunate enough to have earned enough money to be able to sit back and not panic, but I have to do something. I can't just glide through the rest of life."
Thank you, Mr. Larsson, for gracing us with your brilliance.
- Kevin won the first elimination challenge and has won some of the hardest challenges IMO (escargot quickfire; Natalie Portman challenge). Not only that, he's the only one who has won both the quickfire and the elimination challenge.
- Kevin has won 4 challenges; Bryan has 3; Michael has 2. Kevin has won the most quickfire's at 4. Michael has only won 1 quickfire. Bryan has won NONE so far.
- However, in the past, the winner doesn't necessarily have to be the one who has won the most challenges. Stefan has 4 challenge wins over Hosea's 2; Hung only has 1 win in Season 3 and was in the bottom 3 times; Ilan and Harold has only won 1 challenge in their respective seasons where the most number of wins per chef was 2. Stephanie won 4 times though and she eventually became Top Chef her season.
- Restaurant Wars doesn't dictate who could possibly win either. Harold (TC1) was on the winning team but didn't win the challenge; Season 3 didn't declare any winner nor losers; Stephanie won for Top Chef 4 but she always seems to be the exception to the rule most of the time ^_^; Stefan was the winner in what could possibly be the worst Restaurant Wars so far in TC history. Btw, I'd like to go on record that Stefan should have won Top Chef 5 based on performance and that if he wasn't cocky, he wouldn't be a favourite of mine.
I think my boy Michael V. is in trouble next week. He seems to be always stepping in that thin line between danger and safety. If he goes home next week, I tell you, I have good reason not to follow it and just wait for the finale for the result. And see if Kevin wins it.
I have a strong feeling it will be a Kevin, Bryan and Michael finale. But since 4 out of 5 Top Chef's are men, they might just give Jennifer that extra push.
If Robin doesn't get off next episode - sheesh, there must be something wrong with the judges' taste buds then.
( I'd like to taste this guy though. His cooking I mean. )
You go, girl.

나미섬 Nami Island
Gyeonggi-do ito, hindi Gangwon-do
anyway
If you want to go to Nami Island, take a train from Cheongnyangni to Gapyeong
You can reach Cheongnyangni via subway line number 1 (dark blue line). This should be going north (i.e. if you are in Seoul Station you have to go towards City Hall).
Cheongnyangni to Gapyeong
travel time: 1 hour and 23 minutes
first trip: 06:10
last trip: 22:00
interval between trains: around 50 minutes
Gapyeong to Cheongnyangni
last trip: 21:43
Outside Gapyeong station, just take a taxi
just tell the driver, Na-mi-som yo, or Na-mi-som ka ju-se-yo
fare would be from 5,000 to 8,000 Won, depending on the route that the driver would take. The scenic route would set you back around 8,000 Won
Namisom is an island in the middle of North Han River (?). You will have to take a ferry from and to the Gapyeong side. The ferry tickets sold are round trip tickets
by the way, they're calling it now Nami Nara or Nami Republic ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Korea Rail website here: http://www.korail.com/en/rv/pr21100/w_pr21110.jsp
you may book online

He really was the nicest one among the bunch. When they were busy being pricks, Steven was busy signing autographs. I don't know why he wasn't my favourite, really. Maybe I was too in love with Shane Lynch at the time.
Rest in peace.

I am stuck here in Boni for the weekend because according to my parents, the roads going to Gapan are not passable be it from Pampanga or Bulacan. Sucks. I will not see my niece. Something tells me going to Antonio's might not be worth it after all. The only pressing "want" I have in my head now is that I want to see my niece. :(
