Dear Diary,
1. Mc Donald’s coffee wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I realized that this is a good substitute to my tall Starbucks Cafe Americano with 2 brown sugar and white mocha added. That’s Php120.00 compared to Mc Do’s Php29.00 regular brewed coffe. 3.5* stars for the price.
“So if you want a hot, instant, tastes-like-plastic coffee – Go for Mc Donald’s”
2. By next week, I will be in my most glorious attempt to be a website design guru. It’s an ambitious closed-door, self-help, Frontpage self-tutoring act. While all other people I know [like cousin Sheian] are using Dreamweaver, I will try to learn how website designing is born. Yeah, and it’s Frontpage amidst all updated webdesign tools. It’s like mastering Lotus 123 and WordPerfect v7. 5* stars for literally closing the door on my restday. And I am turning off my cellphone too.
3. I just had my 160GB Dual Core Desktop reformatted earlier. It took 2 hours to complete the installation process. Here is the breakdown: 1 hour waiting for completion. 1 hour watching THE BUZZ. Reformatting killed all spyware and backdoor trojan files. And now my computer is running using an updated operating system and Windows XP. I don’t know exactly what it is called, but it sounded something like: Windows XP Service Pack 2 version 3 with MS Office 2007. Ahem.
5* stars for the CP usage of only 2% at maximum while running 2-3 process simultaneously.
2* stars because Lolit Solis retracted her statement that Sam and Piolo were caught kissing and lips-intertwined in the cool pool waters of Sofitel.
5*stars for the brave and smart move of retracting. Freedom from lawsuit but damage has been done. Whether she or she did not, my 15-year old niece will always remember that her favorite heartthrob Piolo is gay at dadalhin n’ya ang nabigong pagnanasa hanggang sa ikasal, mag-asawa at magkaanak.
4. I saw Charice Pempengco in Sharon last night. She sang “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston. I think the very first person who sang that song was Dolly Parton. Good thing Simon Cowell doesn’t have my mobile number. I would probably hear his famous Brit Blighty.
1.5* stars – Simon Cowell: [in his unsparingly blunt criticims, in english accent ofcourse] “If I knew before hand that I would be hearing such performance, I could’ve brought my Ipod and listen to Metallica instead. What I heard was an appalling, and a rather movie-like groups of drag fighting and banging with each other in the dim-lit, narrow street of New York past midnight. On a serious note though, in case you didn’t find the first comment earnest, the performance was a rather woodstocky-ish, and a clear assassination of the singers who have sung the song incredibly. But let me tell you this, there is something admirable about you and you are very lucky that you were born to your parents, I adore them for withstanding the iritation of hearing you sing from your bathroom, overpowering all the noise that your voice can come across. But the good news is, you can carry a note. But the sad story about it is that singing is more than carrying a note in a blow-your-lungs-till-they-explode in disaster. Singing has science around it. And in your case, Charice, it’s not science that surrounds your singing – It’s the love of our parents, friends and some form of unexplainable illusions”
Amft, si Charice humahagulgol na sa mga oras na iyon.
5. Randy Jackson to Charice Pempengco: “Wazzup, dawg! Hey dawg, listen-nup yo! Charice is in the house, yo. Give it up for Charice, dawg! Waz going on, dawg? Hey you, dawg! 5* stars – Amft, puro dawg lang ang sinabi. Natuwa naman si Charice.
6. The very nice and proper Paula Abdul to Charice Pempengco: “”Uhmm… I… Uhmm. You… Uhmmm.. Ahh.. emmm. Ahhh. Ahhh. Uhhhh..” 5* stars for the stutter and for the words unspoken. Pumapalakpak na si Charice. Yes.
7. Simon with the last minute comment: “Good thing, I am not your father.”
8. Ryan Seacrest before the break: “So America, you heard what the judges had to say. What can you say Charice?” 5* stars again for rubbing in the pain.
9. Charice Pempengco; Humahagulgol pa rin, walang tigil.
10. 5* stars for Simon Cowell, iba na ‘yung kumakanta, ang comment kay Charice pa rin. Nabanas e. Ikaw ba naman. Nagtagalog na: “O, ngayon, iiyak-iyak ka d’yan!”
