I love my friends. They gave me a much-needed ego boost last Saturday night just exactly when I needed it. Here are some photos from my get-together with them. We spent most of the night at Xocolat in Serendra. These photos were taken using Jenny’s camera. Newly-acquired vintage cameras are ours

Because I can…
I will let Morrissey sing how I feel.
I just registered for WordCamp Philippines, a free event for any Filipino blogger who has a wordpress blog (self-hosted or on wordpress.com). The whole day event will be on September 6, 2008 at the College of Saint Benilde. The event is sponsored by the ff:

I don’t I will ever understand them. Still, I don’t want to be a spinster. Or a nun which I’m so not qualified for anyway. Growing up with no father and studying at an all-girl Catholic school up to high school, it is no wonder I am so clueless as to how boys operate.
Back in college, this one guy asked me to watch a movie with him after class. Well, I wanted to watch that movie so I went with him. We ate first and he offered to pay for our low-class meal. I let him since free food is free food, right? I don’t even remember what movie we watched but I left him after the movie ended. Well imagine my surprise when I learned that he’s been saying that we went on a date. I had no idea that he even liked me romantically. And excuse me, if it were a date, I would have expected more. Like better meal! I was so annoyed with the guy and it even got more annoying when he kept on calling on the phone with boring chit chat and sudden blurts of “I love you’s” and me repeating “sorry I don’t feel that way about you”. After a couple of months he gave up on me but he became bitter over it. He hated me. I was like “what the fuck? I was even nice to him na nga”.
Well this is just one example of how I don’t understand the opposite sex. I couldn’t detect if somebody likes me romantically or not. I have many experiences of thinking that certain guys liking me and it always turns out that I was wrong. How delusional of me and how embarrassing too.
I have a crush on somebody right now and I’m sure my feelings for him isn’t reciprocated. It is just so impossible. I bought “He’s Just Not That Into You” several years ago and if that book is really reliable and applicable to the Philippine society, then all signs point to no, he is just not that into me. Which also points to the impending doom of spinsterhood.

Ack! I wish they’d use that jet to fly the cast here.
Last weekend, the highly anticipated “Hana Yori Dango Final” opened on 400 screens. In its first five days, it was watched by approximately 1.35 million people, grossing more than 1.6 billion yen. This puts it roughly on par with last year’s “HERO,” which went on to take in a total of 8 billion yen.
As a way of showing appreciation for the fans, starring actress Mao Inoue and F4 (Jun Matsumoto, Shun Oguri, Shota Matsuda, Tsuyoshi Abe) will be flying to various cities in a private jet next weekend. The plane is a Boeing 737-500 (which can normally seat about 130 passengers). They will visit Sapporo, Nagoya, and Fukuoka on July 12, then Osaka and Tokyo on July 13. The total trip amounts to 4,660 kilometers.
Chartering a jet for a publicity campaign is said to have never been done before for a Japanese film.

Now that Philippine television is airing Ako Si Kim Samsoon and My Girl, 2 series based on popular kdramas, are we going to see better original Philippine drama series? According to PEP, Ako Si Kim Samsoon is getting high ratings. I hope the networks follow this trend and apply this to our own series. I’ve never seen the originals of the 2 series but I’m really curious about the Kim Samsoon adaptation.
