Upcoming MISS UNIVERSE 2009

Miss Universe 2009 pageant stopped my blogging drought. I just watched the pre pageant clip of Ms. Philippines, Bianca Manalo, and I must say that she's doing really well in the preliminaries. She was really confident in strutting her stuff especially in the swimsuit round. She also has a really great and toned body. This is the first time that I really campaigned for our delegate. I kept re-posting her pre pageant clip in Facebook, online forums and here in my blog. =D

Pre Pageant clip of Bianca.

Being 5 foot 10 inches tall is already an advantage when you join the Miss U pageant. Bianca is 5'10 BTW. =D

Don't forget to watch the Miss Universe 2009 pageant this August 24, Monday, 9:30 AM on ABS-CBN live straight from the beautiful archipelago of the Bahamas (ohh, I wish I could go there).

I'm sooooo excited!!!!! <3!>

RIP, Pa

Even though I didn't get to spend much time with you because it's complicated, I still love you. I will cherish all the memories that we were together even though I can only count those.

Ricky Rubio babbby!

While everyone was talking about the death of Micheal Jackson or the new Transformers movie, I was blabbering about RICKY RUBIO. =D

Ricky Rubio is an 18 year old NBA player. He was picked (5th overall, NBA draft 2009) by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He started his pro career in 2005 so that makes him 14 or 15 years old that time. He was part of the Spanish national basketball team in the Beijing Olympics.

I was never a fan of the NBA( PBA fan here, San Miguel Beermen is my fave team) but vowed myself if Ricky Rubio gets drafted in the NBA I'll watch his every single game. Hope his games with the Timberwolves will be shown in Basketball TV. Actually, my addiction has just started. I didn't attend my first class just to watch the NBA Draft 09. LOL! I just came out of my closet of being a LA Lakers fan. My fave player is Trevor Ariza. =)

October takes forever. I'm itching to watch Ricky Rubio play -- again. =D

I'll take my chances

I am willing to risk my heart in falling in love again.

While typing this, I'm scared. OMG. Okay okay, as I've said I'm willing to risk it again.

I miss Seventeen Magazine (Philippines)

Seventeen Mag had their last issue in April '09 with Leighton Meester as their cover girl. It's my favorite college magazine. I kept finding other alternatives and decided to stay with Chalk. Seventeen is still the BEST! Oh well, it's my last year in college I think I'll be fine. =)

Seventeen Mag (US) is too expensive. I can't afford it. =D

I posted my Seventeen mag collection (2008) in my blog just back read. Hehe.

I'll post my thoughts about my new found college mag. I haven't read it yet. Haha. =D

Online Forum RULES

I got addicted to online forums 4 years ago until now. I've encountered a lot of members of every kind. Annoying, pasaway, flamebaiter and etc.

Here are my top 10 forum rules:

1. Read the forum rules.

2. Respect other people's opinion.

3. Don't be a flamebaiter. It just shows you are an attention-seeking person.

4. Do not quote a post if you're reply isn't related to that post. What's the point?
Example:
Member 1: I see there a lot of newbies in this thread. Maybe they are taking a break from the CPA review exams.
Member 2 (quoted the post of member 1): The function of this thread is to let other people know where to review in the CPA exams.

*He quoted a post and his reply isn't related to it.

5. Don't use txtspeak.
Example: "wen" = when; "u"= you; "skol" = school

6. Always use the search button for an existing thread.

7. Don't cry your concerns in public (Meaning making a thread about it. Like why you are given an infraction and etc). Just personal message a moderator.

8. Don't post just for the sake of raising your post count. Result? Yeah, more post count but your posts are NONSENSE.

9. Don't create a "versus" thread. It will create flame among the members and there will be chaos unless that forum is strict about this rule. Like the mods constantly monitor the thread.

10. Don't be afraid to voice out your opinions as long as you know where you stand. =)

These are based on my experience being an online forum-er for almost 4 years. =)

Cheers! =)

XOXO, Gossip Girl

Okay so I jumped in to the Gossip Girl bandwagon. At first, I really didn't care about the show until one of my friends lent me her dvd--- at last. First 2 episodes I got really hooked and excited. I liked Dan because he is funny and he's my type of guy among the GG guys. My excitement kind of went down as I watched the show. I can't help but compare my number 1 barkada TV show, One Tree Hill, to GG. After watching season 1 of GG, One Tree Hill is still on top of my list.

Here's what I thought of the show:
> Most of their characters are boring. I like Dan and Serena at first but they bored me. Super. Dan being funny kind of faded as the show progresses.

> Blair. I don't like her but sometimes I do. She's such a brat but on the brighter side, her character isn't boring.

> Nate. Hmmm. Hot guy but really boring. Ugh.

> Chuck. I don't find him handsome but same with Blair his character isn't boring. So, he's saved.

> RUFUS! The only HOT guy I sticked through out the show. I love Lily-Rufus loveteam.

> Jenny. Need I say more? Social- climber much but I liked her as Dan's lil sis.

> Serena and Blair's chemistry as BFFs isn't that convincing to me. Again, I can't help but compare them to One Tree Hill's Brooke and Peyton.

> All the "ka sosyalan" of the show kind of you know I don't know sickens me a bit. OTH is so much better. Peace out! =P

But still, I'd watch season 2.

Cheers to all GG fans out there! =)
