Reading the newspaper bores me to death. I am dealing with a lot of stress to begin with, and I don't want the economic crisis, political corruption, and showbiz drama to make my day even worse!
But one day, I came across Good Times Manila, somewhat similar to an online newspaper. The title says, "Mike Enriquez inhales a live tarsier." That can't be true. I'm not stupid. Haha.
So I got to read some of the other stories in their website, and I was impressed with all the traffic that the site is getting. One article, on average, has over 100 comments on it. To top it all off, the site does NOT have any advertisements.
I'm so hooked, I check the site almost everyday. Hehe. Try it yourself, but don't be stupid to even believe what they write.

Gossip Girl Spin-off: Not Happening!
Early this year, there had been news that there would be a "Gossip Girl" spin-off, airing around September. It was believed that it would all be about Jenny Humphrey's life as she enters college, and that was because of the release of the spin-off novel that was released entitled, "The It Girl."
People were excited about it because Jenny has become a really interesting character in "Gossip Girl," especially when she started making clothes for Eleanor Waldorf. I, too, think that would be a great idea of a spin-off.
Now, if you've watched the latest episode (Season 2 Episode 24), it featured a flashback of Lily van der Woodsen's wild teenage life. It would give you another idea that perhaps the spin-off due later this year would be about Lily. The taste of the 80's vibe of the spin-off was interesting, but obviously it would not get that much attention.
The young Lily Rhodes (Her maiden name) was played by Brittany Snow. I don't really like her. She wasn't playing Lily convincingly. She lacks the aura of eliteness that Kelly Rutherford (who plays the older Lily van der Woodsen) has. But that's just my opinion.
Back to the spin-off issue, according to reports, it would no longer push through. It's because the show's rating is slowly sloughing down. However, this issue still has to be deliberated by the top execs. We'll just see in a couple of months how this thing would go.
Well, if you ask me, I'd love to see a spin-off about Lily van der Woodsen... the older Lily. I really love her tandem with Rufus Humphrey. Seriously, I'm always looking forward to their love story. Before I was still deciding whether to root for Serena:Dan or Rufus:Lily. Now, I've finally made up my mind. I want Rufus and Lily! Let them get married.
Here's the idea for the spin-off: "Gossip Girl" would end with Rufus finally proposing to Lily! Then the actual marriage would happen in the spin-off... but it wouldn't happen yet. As they prepare for their marriage, they would encounter a lot of issues, like they always do in GG. There would be also episodes where they would have flashbacks on why Lily has become like her mother or something, and Rufus quitting being in a band and having to start his own family.
My idea sucks, but you get the point. I'm not a writer and I don't want to give all of my ideas, the writers might steal them. Haha!

Gossip Girl: Serena's Wardrobe Sabotage
I love Blake Lively, (who plays Serena van der Woodsen in "Gossip Girl") but I'm not loving the outfit she has on in their latest episode (Season 2 Episode 24).
If I were standing in her place, I would think I've been sabotaged by Blair or the other bitches in the show. Her dress DOES NOT work right on her body. The dress reminds me of some grandmother trying to look young, breasts hanging down to the navel. Blake's boobs just looked sagged, and all those draping effect of the dress made it worse. Her boobs looks like their down to her waist.
Blair, on the other hand, is looking so fab!! I love her prom gown. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Serena was wearing such a lame dress - to give the spotlight to Blair. Well, if that's their plan, then it really worked!
I still love you, Blake Lively. You're so beautiful. Hehe. XOXO

Happy International Nurses Day
May 12, 2009 (Tuesday) - we are celebrating the International Nurses' Day (IND), which also happens to be Florence Nightingale's birthday, the internationally recognized founder of modern nursing. This year's theme is "Delivering Quality, Serving Communities: Nurses Leading Care Innovations."The International Council of Nurses (ICN) has been celebrating this event since 1965. As part of the celebration, the ICN gives out the International Nurses' Day Kit, which contains educational and public information materials that could be used by nurses all over the world.
We are all aware that nurses play an important role in our healthcare system, and the IND was initiated to acknowledge all the hardwork and dedication that nurses all over the world that made this system more effective.
For all the Filipino nurses here and abroad, this event is very important because it shows that their compassion for their work are being recognized, and there's nothing that can be more dignifying than that.
So to all the Filipino nurses, even nurses all over the world, and nursing students, HAPPY INTERNATIONAL NURSES' DAY and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE!!
For more information about the International Nurses' Day and IND Kit go to www.icn.ch
I Miss Going To The Beach
It has been 4 months since I last walked on a sandy beach, and I miss it.
When I get tired of life, I just close my eyes and imagine myself sitting by the beach, listening to some sweet music, drinking mango shake, and looking at the beautiful sunset. Is there a job that has these as job description? If there is, then I'm wasting my life, taking up this nursing course. Hehe.
Well, here are some photos that I took myself. I look at these when I'm sad, and then I'm okay. They also serve as a reminder that I can be a good photographer. Haha.
This photo was taken at Bohol Bee Farm at Bohol, Philippines.
This was supposed to be a stolen shot, but I guess he saw me. It was a nice photo nonetheless.
There were kids lurking around while we were talking our photos, so we took the big opportunity of having some unpaid extras! Haha. And they were quite good, righ? Just annoying though. I wanted a high-fashion shoot, but they ruined it all with their goofy antics! Hehe.

A friend took this photo of me while balancing a coconut on my head. Haha. Talk about hidden talents. It was my first time to do that, mind you. :D

I'm thinking of Boracay or Puerto Prinsesa. Hmmm. I can't decide... after all, I barely have the money to afford another vacation! Hehe. Schooling comes first (says Mom).

Global Warming Fashion Sunglasses
Don't these sunglasses desperately shout GLOBAL WARMING?!
It's as if the extreme heat of the sun caused the sunglasses' plastic to melt. That is so unique!
I love these sunglasses. They look funny... but fashionable. If you love attention or just want to make people laugh, then get one of these. But I bet after a few days you'll get tired and annoyed of the melted plastic hanging on the sides. I think these sunglasses are obviously leaning towards fashion or humor than to convenience. You decide. I still love them though.
The sunglasses were made by Anna Ter Haar for Klavers van Engelen's fall/winter 2008-2009 collection featured on the Milan fashion week. Click on the links I've provided above for more photos and information about the creator and the designer who used the glasses on her fashion show.
