transformers and green tomato! it’s a date!

ang tagal na namin hindi nagdate ni harry. ung date talaga.. so ayun since nagtatampo-tampuhan ako these days, kasi ang tamad na nyang umeffort, bumawi si bebe.. movie and dinner kami at shang. kahit mejo pinaghintay nya ko kasi may meeting sya with his PM, nagresign na kasi sya, sabi nya bili daw ako ng dress sagot nya, huwaw! sale pa naman ang mango. kaso wala ako masyado nakita na magandang dress.. kasi nung lunch kahapon nag SM the block na ko at namili na sa mango. haay sayang naman!!! ang dami ko ring nabili, 2 tops, 1 bandana and 2 belts ang saya.. anyway un nga wala akong makita na magandang dress na bagay sa height ko. so ang binili ko nalang ay shoes sa celine. sale huwaw, may gusto kasi ako dito na chunky sandals. thanks bebe!!

dumating sya just in time after “his card” paid for the shoes. hindi kami madalas sa shang so hindi namin alam kung saan magandang kumain. may sumo sam and i heard favorite to ni Diane. kaso i’m not really in the mood for jap food. so hanap kami italian. nag green tomato nalang kami, remember back in GT days, ok daw dun.. we ordered creamy mushroom rissoto with 2 porkchops, and chicken and mushroom pasta.

mejo nabwiset ako sa waiter kasi i asked what was in the creamy mushroom rissoto , and he said “rissoto” implying i’m stupid. so he saw my kilay went up and i said “ya, of course i can read that but what is in it?” sabay taas ulit ng kilay ko. josko tong mga waiter, sales lady at taxi driver na to. nakakasira ng araw. i mean really, kung magtataray ka, mag aral ka ng degree course then take up law. not to be very maldita but hey they are paid to do that, to be of service and then they give us attitude? fuckedup. i’m not in a carinderia ok? i guess he got my point and don’t he dare spit on my food. at wag na syang umasa na ma-tipan pa.anyway, sarap nung chicken and mushroom pasta but the rissoto i didn’t dig so much.
after the dinner we bought the 9:30 transformers ticket.

its just 9 so i bought a cafe latte at starbs and nag hang out muna kami sa veranda. picture picture as usual.

tapos just behind the seat we took kita ung condo hehe. kaso bakit pundido ata un G?? hmm

anyway ang ganda ng transformers!! although may mga part na nakakainis like ung hinahanap nya ung salamin ng lolo nya, ang tagal nung part na un tapos makikita din pala. may pinagusapan pa about jacking up. soooo out of the story line. tsaka ung part na pinapatay nila ng autobot na naging radyo habang nagsesend sila ng morse code. ang hirap patayin ng pucha ang liit naman. tsaka hindi ko masyado gusto ung part na hinimay parang hipon si Jazz. un lang.. pero ang ganda ng effects, all in all. tuwing may nagttransform na robot kahit kakampi natatakot ako. hehe. mukang engots.

MNG ZARA frenzy

have you noticed how in dresses are, like you can wear it while shoe shopping, having coffee or any chillax event? anyway since i got here in the office so early with nothing to do really, i searched the mango site for new pieces and oh my. i saw really nice mix ups. i wonder why i don’t see these great dresses in the boutiques?

anyway, fyi, scarfs are back. i dunno why the hell it is but atleast you’ve got there a cheap accessory.

anyway most of the dresses in the site you can find similar ones in local shops.

i love this ensemble,chillax and chic! promise magpapapayat na ko!!

this one(below) you can buy exactly the mng pieces at over 12k php or look at local department stores for similar ones, i bet they have em!

or have your trusted modista to copy the dress, i think its quite easy to replicate given the very audrey hepburn look Ü

i’m dying for the minidress below a lil bit under 6k php

i’ll try to buy it before we leave.. waaah!!

9am in the PH

its just 9 am yet i’ve already had three cups of coffee. no wonder i’m jumpy.

ranting.slash.blabbering

parang ang dami ko dapat iblog kaso natatamad ako.. anyway, big issue here sa PH un PBB. kasi 3rd big winner si pokpok. pokpok nalang tawag ko sakanya kasi nagfeefeeling sya pag sinasabi yung pangalan nyang nuknukan ng baho. kapaon nagsimba ako at nagdasal na sana bigyan ako ng lakas para hindi na manlait at mamintas pero iba kasi to, nakakapoot sya. isipin mo tinawag sya ni ruffa na anay. so ngayon lalong love ko na si ruffa at si mickey syempre!! waaah.. promise lagi akong aattire at magmamakeup sa office, malay mo makasalubong ko si mickey, ayus un!!! mejo nabuset ako kahapon kay boy abunda. kasi last week galit na galit sya kay pokratch nung kaharap nya di naman nya kinatay. tapos mega iyak pa ang gaga. josko. wag ko lang syang makasalubong, sasabihan ko talaga syang mukha syang tuyot at malansa. kahit ano pang sabihin nya may tatak demonyo na sya. naisip ko nga diba sobrang bwiset tayo kay pres. GMA. parang ganyan na si pokratch. poot na tao sa kanya. but at least si pres. gma, she thinks thats the best way to do her job. si pok2 wala lang cheap lang talaga sya. and please don’t stress out the votes she got. sa tingin ko ch7 ang bomoto sa kanya. pangpasira lang sa ch2. o well its really pbbs fault, they got her to come back inside the house, so thats the risk they had to take. anyway. now i’ve got another big reason to leave PH. mapanood ko lang sa TV yang si pok2. leche. tanga nalang talaga ng ch2. please. tanda nyo ung show na mara clara. para syang si clara ng totoong buhay. para syang si sheryl cruz sa bakekang pero un nga lang she’s not paid to act that way. ganun talaga sya. it’s really sad that somehow, some people accepts that she portrays pinoys. ako gaga na ko pero i never confronted anyone that way unless siguro kung kasing kupal ni pok2. i believe an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. ngungudngod ko talaga sya sa bunganga ni bruce na mukang suso. super panget nya at pareho silang mukang mabaho! josko! pede bang irevoke ng UP ang diploma ni bruce? kakahiya. diliman ka pa naman. are we really suppose to watch shows na nakakabwiset??? sana naman po Lord, si mickey nalang po ang magkaron ng maraming shows para maraming babae ang masiyahan sa buhay. sana gumawa ang ch2 ng machete. dati inis na inis ako kay toni gonzaga kasi minsan mukha syang duling. pero ngayon nacucutan na ko sa kanya dahil kung itatabi mo sya kay pok2, nagnunumingning ang kabaklaan ni toni. haaaay. josko, ung inis ko kay pokratch para syang taeng natapakan mo papasok ng office, ganun!!!

PBB Management Answers Letter of So-called PBB Insider
June 27, 2007 7:14 PM
An email circulating in the media about supposed anomalies in the program PINOY BIG BROTHER SEASON 2 has reached us. We would like to clarify certain malicious points that were raised in said anonymous letter. We are hoping that this letter will clear the clouds surrounding the recent events in the program.
01.The letter was supposedly written by an MA Masscom graduate, who was part of the news and current affairs division before supposedly doing “conceptualization of some reality shows particularly the current one, PBB”.We would like to put on record that no such staffer from the program exists. There is only one staffer of the program who comes from the news and current affairs division, and that staffer started with the program in Season 1, and not just this season, as the writer of the letter claimed.
02.PINOY BIG BROTHER is a franchise of the Endemol-owned BIG BROTHER and is not “conceptualized” locally as the letter implicated. Even the tasks done inside the house are based on a production bible.
03.The letter-writer also mentioned the positions “conceptualizer” and “talent auditors”. This is the first time that we hear of such positions in our company.The creative group includes the following positions: creative manager, headwriter, writer, brainstormer and researcher. In the case of PINOY BIG BROTHER, the creative group is composed of the chief story editor, senior story editor, story editors and researchers.There is also no such thing as a “talent auditor” in ABS-CBN.
04.The letter-writer claimed to have been part of the screening process and has even noted some of the criteria that we supposedly take into consideration.The fact of the matter is that there is only a core group in charge of the screening process, and this includes ABS CBN Management, business unit head, executive producers, chief story editor and the senior story editor.No “conceptualizer” is part of the screening process.
05.The letter-writer also claimed that during the season, the group had to choose the Top 100 of the batch.The fact is that no Top 100 exists.After the extensive screening process, the core group sat down through a string of meetings to come up with the Top 30 of the batch.
06.The letter also called our business unit head, Director Lauren Dyogi as “direk dyogi”. As a matter of fact, no one in the staff calls him by that monicker.He is officially known and called LMD or Direk Lauren.Thus, it is quite obvious that the letter-writer is not part of the staff of the current PINOY BIG BROTHER season.
07.The letter also claimed the following: “the path of the contest is already drawn, and the voting only affects the decision minimally… this only tells us who the public wants to see again inside the house.” This is not true. Even the staff does not know who will be evicted until the office of ABS CBN Interactive reveals the final tally after the closing of votes. There is no way that these results can be rigged and every vote is on record with the office of ABS CBN Interactive.The final voting process, which started after the eviction of housemate Robert, is closely monitored by a third party, namely SGV and Co, to validate the votes.
08.The letter claimed that during the eviction of housemate Nel, “Nel got the 2nd lowest number of votes, wendy got the lowest. But the administrators think that perhaps the wendy-bruce loveteam is still up, so we had to give it one last shot. If the ratings go down, or if on Tuesday (the next eviction night), wendy still gets the lowest vote, she’s out of the contest.”The statement is maliciously fabricated.The episode of the program shown last night, where the percentage of votes and the actual number of votes garnered by Nel and Bruce, clearly showed that it was not Wendy who got the second lowest vote but Bruce, and the trend did not change until Bruce’s eviction on Tuesday.

Hopefully, this would answer the points raised by the malicious letter-writer who can not even divulge his/her name, gender and current position in ABS CBN.The entire letter is a poor attempt to discredit PINOY BIG BROTHER because all the accusations are fabricated, along with the identity of the letter-writer.The name and franchise PINOY BIG BROTHER stands by the integrity of the public vote and will not in any way, discredit the voting public from whose sentiment the program really relies on.
And we do not think that any staffer would wish and campaign for the ratings to go down, because every staffer would want to enjoy credible ratings to ensure the stability of the network to which he belongs.
The letter-writer asked and we quote “where is the morality in that, abs-cbn?”Definitely not in the malicious letter that was written.

Conceptualizer’s reply

FROM PEX FORUM

June 27th, 2007 at 2:32 am

yes, for everyone’s peace of mind, i am the abs-cbn employee who first leaked the story of PBB being manipulated. i dont know if you will believe me when i say that i really want to go to the surface now so that both the public and ABS-CBN will know that i am telling the truth. i am waiting for the right opportunity to come so that i can show my face and my name to the public. right now, i cannot do anything more than discreetly and covertly tell you the truth about the issue. i know that many of the people want to know why i am leaking out these insider information. obviously i am not after the money that i hear some are thinking right now. how can i be after the money when nobody knows who i am? i am telling you the truth because i want to unload the heavy feeling of guilt that i am feeling now, that i’m sure all of my co-workers are feeling now. i want everyone to know that the messages you send are creating a buzz in our committee now. our superiors are being hammered by higher ups to address the issue. we have also received a summon from ABS-CBN management – i hope they are doing this because they want to know the truth first hand, and not to slap us for doing a better job. our administrators are becoming more and more agitated by the speculations that the PBB2 is rigged. our TL said that mickey might be off next, meaning wendy will be included in the big 4, if one producer is serious that he wants wendy to be in the next afternoon soap opera that will be shown late august. however, they are having a problem as of now because of one of the solutions that direk dyogi has suggested to remove any doubt that the text votes are being manipulated: a third party auditing firm that will independently tabulate the text vote results, which for your information, was only really finalized last week when the issue about “dagdag bawas” was most prevalent (instead of using INTERACTIVE, our current vote tabulator). bruce’s eviction last night is actually the truth. he really had the least number of votes garnered over the past few days. the surprise eviction last sunday was also held where buddy the dog was “eliminated,” was supposed to be the force eviction of wendy because of her actions and the fact that she was unable to stick to the rules of conduct that are supposed to be followed by the HMs. but at 530 pm, we received a message that buddy will be the one who will be removed from the house. not one of us 8 conceptualizers were present that night, even though we were required to be there.##### …not even Freud knows the cure to my madness…

make up review *1*

the weekend before last weekend , harry and i went to galleria to watch f4. afterwards, i scanned through some make ups. sometimes, i think its too much to spend too much on a foundation which you use everyday plus the extra times that your face really gets oily.. so i stayed away from mac. i thought, it’s really too much. better give alms to the poor besides, its really not an investment, i mean you wash it off at the end of the day, no one notices you’re wearing mac, and by the end of the month, you look at the empty compac and say goodbye.

so what i did what look through the mid-priced stuff, maybelline and look what i found!

frankly, the mousse base is hassle free, you don’t have to wet your sponge. just dab, and it doesn’t feel like it’ll crack!

the pink one is a mousse based blush on and i bought a watershine 3D hyper diamonds in precious wine, which is great for morenas. you can wear it without any other makeup!

and i only spent around 1500 for this and i got a free pouch!

my journal

i realize that there are plenty of times that i have thoughts about life, about where am at,  lingering sad thoughts that i know is not read worthy here at my blog so i started journalizing my thoughts through a diary.

i know that diaries are suppose to have locks. the one’s i used to keep when i was younger had one. of course my dad was too brutal that he had to cut the locks using pliers just to read the entries, my sister was wise enough not to write her secrets, but me? geez, how many spanking did i take for the first kiss entry there. and for having 2 bfs at a time. ya i was crazier even back then, coz i guess being young was enough reason to be one.

well, i was feeling so low last night coz of a fight..

xoxo, ote.

another side of the PBB “set-up”

we know that Filipinos are diggers of conspiracy and rumors, we just love ‘em. from the ERAP overthrow, to failure of election to the humongous success of the “the vinci code”.

during lunch, even though we work here in abs-cbn, we are really bothered by why wendy valdez is not yet evicted out of the house. of course there’s the ever popular dyogi’s pet which is very easy to believe coz the girl has her ways, it seems. and one of my co-workers mentioned that what if it was GMA 7 workings that keeps this bastarda on air. well think that PBB is the only show that keeps abs-cbn standing. it is its carrier show during primetime. i mean really, we have to admit that dos has long failed producing entertaining shows after mara clara and ang tv. so we thought ya. it would definitely shove back dos one more step behind 7. what is 5million or so to GMA7 to sabotage in a way channel 2. if wendy wins its definite that PBB3 will be a flop. maybe some people will still watch to see how HMs make a fool of themselves but with the scam issue no one will surely vote. we know how much income comes from texts votes. i mean, abs might be practically paring wages with only this. just something to think about.

rummage galore and gerry’s!

so janice, abi’s long time bff, just came home from london and brought all of her year old clothes (meaning, the one’s she bought last year and didn’t even get the chance to use em) and decided to have it for sale. well ya, i wouldn’t be so excited if her clothes were just local brands i.e. kamiseta, bayo, p&p.. but all her stuff are zara, topshop, mango, morgan, xoxo, gucci, burberry and miss selfridge.. i had 8k ang i was pissed coz that’s all the cash i have, i mean why do we even deposit in banks. geez.. i almost died when i aw she was selling her gucci bags, with serial numbers of course at 60% off!! omg. i guess i still have friday to have the money. anyway i bought a bag full or zara, topshop, mango, morgan and miss selfridge stuff!! an all i have to spend was 6k!! thats like just 2 mng dresses.

anyways afterwards, janice bought salad from fridays, we waited for almost an hours while abi got scolded coz of a very wrong decision she made.

then we went at gerry’s and ate a bit and drank a bit coz harry’s waiting for me, their game finished early and they lost. he needed me daw hehehe. drama ni bebe! cute cute Ü

here are our pics:

dale and abi
