I’m feeling much better after last night’s talking session with Louie. I just can’t believe I keep up with so-called friends who are skanky bitches. Ho ho hoe.
Might go out with Fortune tonight and play video games. We are totally newbies as in just randomly pressing buttons. I think it’s a waste of money but the gaming place (EGG) looks so fucking cool. The monitors are flat screen and the seats (more of couches actually) look so comfy. I hope they have The SIMS2 for playstation because I really want to try that. I doubt Fortune would like to play that though. I bet he’ll want to play those NBA games. I want cute or scary games!!!
Louie and I are planning to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory tomorrow. I can’t wait to see it. I have high expectations of the film so I just hope I won’t be disappointed.
I finally finished the dorama version of Gokusen. I found it quite enjoyable. Compared to GTO, another classroom dorama, I think it lacks charm. I like the chemistry between Yamkumi and Sawada but their relationship never developed into a full blown romance. I was hoping for it to develop in Gokusen 2 but Matsumoto Jun, who played the character of Sawada, is not there anymore so I don’t think I want to watch that. Speaking of Matsumoto Jun, I think he looks kinda hot. He’s so androgynous so yay! I like his pouty lips. Heh.

I bought Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women last night.
Jeez! In Amazon.com it only costs $6.49 (365 Philippine Pesos). Fully Booked sells it for around P 750 bucks. Rip-off but that book is in my wishlist and I really want a copy of that. Time to remove it from my wishlist. Yay? I also wanted to buy
but I’ve spent too much already.
I told my mom a long time ago that I want to own a Powerbook G4 so I could freelance as a graphic designer and as a Final Cut Pro editor. A 15 inch Powerbook costs around P160,000 here. Compared to if I buy one from the US, it will only cost me around P112,000. I really want to start working already so I could have money so I said to her that it’s okay if I get a secondhand one. I was able to find some sellers but it would still cost us around P89,000. Bummer. I hope I can convince her to get a new one from the US, Hong Kong, or even Singapore because it’s cheaper in those countries. Mom doesn’t know much about computers. She doesn’t even know how to operate one. It makes it hard to convince her that I need my own computer so that I could make a living out of it. She told me to write a feasibility study and I’ve actually started on it tonight. Hopefully, she’ll understand how important it is for me. If I have my own money, I would by one on my own but unfortunately I don’t have much so I have to rely on her.

I watched Live A.I.D.S. this afternoon with Jenny and her friend Michelle. The show was okay but the past shows I’ve seen were better. Icel and this other girl did briliant monologues. The other spiels and skits were mediocre. So was the spot dance. The company was fewer than usual so maybe that’s why the show wasn’t so good. Anyway, I got reaquaintaed with the old and new Samaskomers which was quite nice. I thought they wouldn’t remember me anymore. I think I need to be more active with the Samaskom alumni. It’s good for networking.

Yay! I got the doramas I ordered from Buruburu. Some of the new titles are Gokusen, Trick 1&2, Heaven’s Coins 1&2, Ring series, etc. If you want to see my dorama list, click on the link at the sidebar.

I’m feeling so much better now. I told Louie about what Phoebe and I discussed and why it affected me so much. Then she gave really good advice. I think Louie, should be a therapist. She’s really good at giving advices. Imagine, I was still shaken when I met up with her but now I am much calmer. Thank goddess for Louie.

I’m a real mess right now. I’m literally shaking and it’s all just because Phoebe and I talked about my future and career options. Ack! Why the hell am I so petrified right now? Ack! Ack! ACK!!! Shit. I need to get my shit together. What the hell is wrong with me?!
Gah. Anyway, I’m off to pick up Louie…

Do me a favor and post a comment there. Tell him ‘dementia’ sent ya. Word!

I finally had my hair cut today. It’s okay but I prefer the old cut better. I usually go to Studio 546 but my favorite stylist resigned so I was forced to go to another salon. I was thinking of going to Hairbytes but I settled for David’s Prestige. I think it’s a wrong choice since the stylist made me wait for so long and he’s not that good. I’ll try Hairbytes next time or if I find out where my favorite stylist works now, I’ll go there. Studio 546 gives really good haircuts but it’s expensive there. Bing, my favorite stylist, is just a creative director (whatever that means in salon parlance) but it costs 600+ to get my hair done. Their senior stylist charges around 800 pesos. In Prestige, my haircut cost me a little more than 400 pesos. So that’s a lot cheaper. But I guess I really have to pay more for better service. My hair is really damaged from the bleaching and dye job I had a couple of months ago. It’s very course and dry. Always in a tangle as well. I really need to take care of my hair more but I don’t have the patience for it. I just yank the brush and leave the tangles there.
I just finished watching ‘Pride’. I like the last episode even if it’s really mushy and pa-cute. I wish a guy would propose to me like what Halu did. Speaking of doramas, GMA 7 started airing the bastardized version of Friends last Tuesday. I tried watching it yesterday but I couldn’t bear it. Their dubbing is just so awful. I’ll be surprised if it becomes popular in the Philippines. Maybe that’s a good thing because it might discourage the networks from airing doramas. Heh

This is for those knowledgeable in Wordpress. I couldn’t figure out how to make the ‘Reads’ and ‘Friends’ Journals’ sort in order of update. I also don’t know how to make the links appear with ‘*’ when they’re updated. Please help!
update
