More Glee Lovin'

I don't want Glee to be a staple Wednesday early Thursday morning post but I just can't help it! Episode 2 was so freakin' hot!

First off, Brittany was a revelation! I used to look at her and see nothing more than a dumb blond chic but the I'm a Slave 4 U number changed everything! Her body was smokin' and her dance moves made Britney look lame! Okay I'm sounding like a lesbian now but what the heck. She's oooooooh-some and even you can't deny that.

And then Toxic. I have to say they did the title justice. Especially Mr. Schue. Thank heavens I felt his presence now! Boy, he rocked it big time! Truly, truly intoxicating production.

And finally, capping the episode with The Only Exception was a perfect neutralizer. Almost all the songs done are sensual and this Paramore hit filled in on the emotions. I found myself sheepishly smiling while texting Jhay that the song got me thinking of him the whole time. Shoot, that was one big block of cheese! Hahaha.

With all those adjectives said, it's safe to say that Glee keeps outdoing itself. I wonder what they have in store for next week. That better be exceptional because I don't wanna eat my words. LOL.

Oh, before I forget, you have to congratulate me for being able to embed videos here! First time! :D

A Fab Footwear for a Hundred Bucks

I have been constantly mentioning that I spend a lot of time in the office lately. And early this month, the hardwork kinda paid off because I, along with other team mates, received a "Pat on the Back." POB is an incentive given to selected employees monthly to recognize their efforts and to motivate others to step up. Well it's only 300 pesos worth of GC and an e-mail announcement but it's a little something that affirms that I am not screwing up. Hahaha.

And then comes HSBC's new promo: A single-receipt purchase of at least PhP 2000 anywhere with your credit card gives you a PhP 100 gift pass from SM Department Stores or Ayala Malls. Because I use my card when I do groceries, I am entitled to two gift passes this month :) I love HSBC already! Last time, it was free Starbucks drinks and now this. Spending at it's finest. LOL.

Why am I saying this, you may ask. It's because I am happy to share that I got this really chic sandals for only a hundred pesos!

Uhhh it's actually PhP 600 but because I have GCs, I only paid for the remaining amount. Spending extra time in the office and extra bucks in the supermarket has never been this rewarding! :D

Glee: The Things I Loved and Hated

To say that the world adores Charice in Glee's all new season is a huge understatement. Google and Twitter stats couldn't agree more. So I am definitely not making this just another rave item. Being a self-confessed Gleek, I will try to be very very objective instead and jot down some love and hate factors in the premiere episode. Lemme start...

LOVE: the mention that Charice is a Filipino, not merely Asian

HATE: excessive unnecessary hand gestures while singing "Listen" (well, yeah, she showcased her singing prowess, but still.. :P)

LOVE: Puck! Geez, I missed him! ^^,

HATE: Rachel's exaggerated facial expressions (She's been like that since season 1's pilot. Haven't you gotten used to it yet, Em?)

LOVE: the "Empire State of Mind" number. And oh, the statement shirt! I want one!

HATE: the annoying aura of the journalist/reporter/blogger in the opening scene. See, I don't even know his name.

LOVE: how much supportive a boyfriend Finn is, despite the girlfriend's attitude. LOL.

HATE: his two left feet. hahahaha.

LOVE: Kurt's confidence before he got slushied

HATE: Rachel's dress and white socks combo! Goodness, a tiny fashion sense won't hurt!

LOVE: the casting director's ability to find a female version of Ken Tanaka (seriously, just looking at her makes me laugh)

HATE: the bouncer-looking guy carrying Charice's Hello Kitty backpack

LOVE: Sam Evans' first few lines of Billionaire

HATE: Hairography in Telephone (if you just tuned in to Glee, Google can prolly help you out with the H word :))

LOVE: Sue! She's a classic! And she just met her match in the person of Beiste.

HATE: the fact that I can't remember anything about Mr. Schue. Oh, was he there? Hahaha.

LOVE: the vibes that Wednesdays will be a no O.T. day :D

HATE: Friggin' commercials!!! >=(

Agree? Differ? Go write your own. Kiddin' :P

Jolli-beef!

It's another Friday! :D Although mine is a TGIT (Thank God It's Thursday because my long weekend started yesterday), there's still something to be thankful for today. This morning, Jhay and I went to mass together at Quiapo church and even if it's hot and crowded, I loved it because it's another moment of worshiping Him with Jhay by my side. After the mass, we hit the Jollibee store in front of the church to grab a quick breakfast. And here comes the highlight of this post:

I looooooved the Jollibee Beef Tapa! It's the first time that I ordered this and it didn't disappoint! ^_^ It was as appealing to the palate as it was to the eyes. Very tender and tasty and just oh-so-good! Well, Tapa King is still #1 in my book but for 76 pesos (with a cup of hot chocolate on the side), it's a good deal!

C'mon, head to the nearest Jollibee tomorrow and try it! I had a lovelier morning because of it and I'm sure you will, too! :D

Hot and Cold

Right now I am enduring a freakin' hot afternoon here at home because I wanted to make up for all the going-online-for-no-reason-at-all time that I lost this week. It was busy as hell at work (busier than last week's busy LOL) that I didn't even have time to fool around in Facebook. Imagine I had to work from 1PM to 3AM of the next day because of the deadline. I know this is usual for most carer-oriented people but I seem to be pretty much affected because it was the first time that I experienced it. (Note to self: Start getting used to working overtime.)

Oh well, let me go back to my thing today. A few minutes ago I enjoyed a cup of dirty ice cream! Hahaha. FYI, the entire neighborhood has been a suki of that one sorbetero for ages so I guess it's not dirty after all. :-)

How I loved the classic keso and tsokolate combination!

Who said that a Starbucks mug is only for a hot cup of coffee? It's perfect for a cold treat too! :-)

Peach was happy to know that this (however a different color)

was among my birthday wishes. Apple green is second only to pink
as my favorite color so it's still awesome! :)

Before I forget, I took a picture of the cute apple green mug just because I wanted to thank the person who gave it to me. She said she wanted me to remember her by leaving me something that I'll always use. So here's to my sweet girl, Peaches. Thanks for sharing a beautiful conversation with me. The date that we had yesterday was short but very very sincere and soothing. I'm looking forward to having another coffee break with you really soon. I'll miss you, girlfriend! Bon voyage!

A warm and time-tested friendship is one of life's simplest pleasures.

Oh yes, the barista mistook Peach for Mitch. Hahaha.

Super Proud Friend

That's what I am right now! :D

I mentioned in my previous post that one of my girlfriends had started blogging too. And now that her first official post is published, I just have to say that it's so worth the wait! Well, I could be bias because I was part of that blog but hey, try to read it so that you'll now that I'm not that partial after all. :P

I intend to write about my (tiring but happy) day tonight but because I wanted to rave about Jaq's blog, I'm saving that for tomorrow. Good night, world! And have a great work week ahead.. :-)

Don't forget to visit her, ha? :D
