reality tv
This day went fine for me. Until I decided to check my bank accounts.
You see last week, I decided to move all my accounts to another bank. Fine! But then there were transactions in my old bank that I wanted to keep within the old account to keep things simple. Now I saw these transactions moved to my new account. Arrrghhh! I hate it when things not go my way. I have specifically instructed not to do that as I have other plans with it and then I suddenly found out otherwise. Grrrr! Made my blood boil up. Really. Because of that, I just stayed out of my room and watched TV. Good thing American Idol was on and I got a peek of this season's contestants. And I say, wow! It was an all girls group today and mehn most were great singers and performers. Pramis! I haven't seen the guys but the girls really rocked!
My favourites (in no particular order)
- Aloha Mischeaux
- Carrie Underwood
- Lindsey Cardinale
- Nadia Turner
- Vonzell Solomon
Vonzell, Aloha and Nadia have the voice and the personality to go with them but I particularly love the country voice of Carrie and the 'hypnotic' voice of Lindsey. I hope they would all still be in next week.
Next week, the new season of Amazing Race will start. I promise myself to religiously watch this. Rhob and Ahmbur are part of the race and although I'm not really a fan of them, it would be interesting to see how these two competetive persons interact in a race in an environment full of pressure. Oooh! Can't wait. Reality TV is fun!
Here's Joshua to make you smile. See that smug? See that smirk? Whenever I see this kid, I can't help but bite him. And I mean a really real bite. Himooos kaayo! Bugoooyyy!!!
moi Insightful Linguist
I took this IQ test online just for fun and was relieved to know that I still have some brains left. Hehe. For the past years, I was beginning to feel dumb and it has really weaned my confidence. Hmmm, naa pa diay matilok.. hehe.
Anyway, here's the gist.
Congratulations, Amee!
Your IQ score is 124
Your Intellectual Type is Insightful Linguist. This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind.
For me to get the whole report of about 5 pages, I need to pay $12 more. Nyehehe. Now why the heck would I pay for that? I don't need more explanations of how our brain works. Too draining. Mabugo` na nuon ta ana. Hehe.
For now, perhaps I still have some chance of joining MENSA. Yeah right! I wish.
And since I'm into this IQ thingy right now, I got curious and searched for the range of how the IQ scores are classified. Here's what I got:
Descriptive Classifications of Intelligence Quotients
IQ Description (% of Population)
130+ Very superior (2.2%)
120-129 Superior (6.7%)
110-119 High average (16.1%)
90-109 Average (50%)
80-89 Low average (16.1%)
70-79 Borderline (6.7%)
Below 7 Extremely low (2.2%)
Hmmm.. Am I a nerd then?
Nahhh. I'm just plain smart. *hambug*
If you wanna find out your IQ too, just go to this site. Goodluck!
Paparazzi
Watching the movie paparazzi made me realize never to believe everything you see and read in the papers. What you see is not always what it is as there's an even bigger story behind a small picture or a scene on the news. Most of the times, what we read are true, but mostly than not, they're just bloated stories out of innocent incidents. That's what journalists are good at - making mountains out of mole hills.
The movie also showed how some people can be very greedy of fame and money. It doesn't matter how many people they hurt, (or almost got killed as depicted here) as long as they get what they want, in this case, the pictures - whether they may be gory or gross or explicit. Because these pictures gain our interest, these paparazzis do all they can to get them. And it's sad to note that it's not really the paparazzi's fault that they thirst to get these kind of pictures. It's our fault! It's we, the masses who buy these magazines that give these paparazzis the will and the thirst to look for revealing pictures more and more. Sad but true. Coz if we don't buy these magazines, nobody will buy the pictures they've taken. And coz they can't get money, then they would stop taking shots. And then there'd be no paparazzi. Easier said than done though. Doesn't work in the real world.
Makes me even wonder more... What really happened to Princess Di?
friendster blooper 1
you know what happens when you've got nothing to do? you get to think - or do, for this matter, things that you wouldn't normally do when you're normal.
i thought of deleting my friendster last week because i got bored with it. add friends, stalk friends, and then what? sooo boring. waste of time. it's not even making me smile, or laugh. then i got an idea! i decided to open access to my friendster to everybody. if you're familiar with friendster, you would know that you can control the people who can contact you. i had it set to 3° before - meaning only people who are my friends, friends of my friends, and friends of friends of my friends can message me and can see my profile. the rest can just ogle - hehe. i had it set that way coz i really didn't want to receive any "please add me to your friends list" or "can i add you to my friends list?" messages for like every day from people i don't even know. such dumb ones asking to be added to my friends list when i don't even know them!?! i mean, duh? where's your brain man(or woman)? i got tired of those beings. that was then.
a couple of days ago, i set it back to "anyone." meaning anybody who has a friendster account can message me. account open for everybody to ogle! har har har! like a come-on. c'mon guys message me now. hahaha. ksp. seriously, i thought of looking for fun. you actually get to receive wierd and funny messages sometimes.
like this.

I really wanted to post something intelligible but I'm just not in the mood. But I really want to post something. So here's the enumeration type postie instead. =)
so h/s again

arrghhh! i am extremely frustrated. it has been hours since i started searching for him and i still can't find any information. what with a very common name as my only data, finding even a byte about him is as good as nil. grrr! i am really pissed. my stalking powers are not working dammit!
breath in. count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. breath out.
breath in. count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. breath out.
gawd! here i go again. so high school again. so before i go on and be my giggly self every so often from hereforth, i now apologize in advance. i know i'm turning 30 soon but it seems my mind and heart are way minus 15. oh wait.. i take that back. i shouldn't really apologize. i'm giggly and so high school and feeling young and i am proud and happy to be! no apologies.
so who's this guy?
i wish i could tell you. truth is, i only know his first name. i have known him since i came here in canada but i have never really minded him because he's just not my type. never was, never still. that's why it's really boggling me that i am having this crushy giggly feelings for him now! namaaaan. he's not even that handsome! (or maybe he is as when i told my friend he's my current crush, she didn't comment that he's ugly. nyehehe.. the last crush i had, she readily said na pangit! hahaha.. shhhh..) pakshyet! just when i thought i could go on for awhile without thinking of any being with a penis, somebody has another plan. and you know what? i actually welcome this - whatever and wherever this leads me to. i have just accomplished 3 milestones in my life and i am ready for another challenge.
so amee, let's stalk! hehehe..
info on hand: first name.
yap. i only have his first name. and like i said, it's a very common first name. even if i google for a whole day, i wouldn't really find any relevant info about him. what more, if he's not the x-gen type, then googling him was really a waste of time. come to think of it, i am stupid for even trying. i knew i wouldn't find anything but i still tried. oh well, that's just me - plain dumb when infatuated.
assignment: find his last name, where he lives, where he works, how old he is, and most importantly, whether or not he's single.
when we meet again, i will ask him. pramis! i won't be tongue-tied again like the last time. hehehe.. ayayyayyy! mister vaughn, you better be ready as you're going to fall.
... in my arms
well, i do apologize for being corny. *giggles*
happy hearts day!

Popular Searches in my Friendster
I am thinking of deleting my Friendster account just because it has become the norm. One thing I definitely don't like is to be with the norm. Being different has always been better - especially when you get to shock people. It gives me a different kind of thrill. Wierd ei?
Anyway, here's the list of popular searches in my Friendster network:
1. how to win an ex back
Jeeez! Talk about losers here. Hehe. Should be: how to win an x-box.
2. Free Ringtones
Just explains the Filipino addiction to cellphones and ringtones.
3. zodiac love match
Oiy! Guilty! I do this too. =)
4. filipina babes
Pervert guys in my network looking for Aubrey Miles or the Sexbomb girls. Hehe.
5. men on briefs
Pervert ladies in my network looking for Mark Wahlberg's Kliens? Oi oi. Sosyal ang girls! Pang international! Hehe.
6. MY NAME IN JAPANESE
Probably because most were in one way or another been to Japan, is a friend of someone who's been to Japan, is working in one of the numerous Japanese companies in Cebu, or is just curious on what her/his name is in Japanese. Nyehehe.
7. kissing tips
Arrgghhh! Mehn! Just plug it in! Hehehe. Well I don't need those tips as I know I'm good at it. *hambug*
8. physical therapist salary
The most popular course in my time, after nursing. That was when computers were still unknown to some.
9. magic card tricks
Errr, what for? Some must have been looking for ways to impress someone. *smiles*
10. latest nokia mobile phones
And the cellphone craze goes on. Part II. Nokia rules eh?!
LSS
Love of my life
You hurt me
You've broken my heart
Now you leave me
Love of my life can't you see
Bring it back bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
child labor
clearly, this is CHILD ABUSE!!! 
josh?
come to tita...
you can do it!
good boy!
hehehehehe...

winterlude 2005
with the temperature at a high +3 this weekend, winterlude is great! at least for me. as i am not a very big fan of the very cold weather here, the warm winterlude (warm daw!) is fine with me thank you. for the first time, i enjoyed watching the ice sculptures longer than i normally do had it been a -20. i didn't really care if they were melting as they were still pretty decipherable to me and were still a beauty even if they were melting. how i wish winterlude is always this warm, hehe... i wish!
at the rideau canal
me, ryan, salyn & lilil
me, myself and the cold ice
(parang bang sungay or wings? angel or demon? nyehehe)
mind works
presented with a situation, i always find myself dissecting and analyzing whatever pieces of information i have on hand. if these information are interesting enough, i go and look for more. and if i really like it, i make the situation more interesting just to prolong the feeling that i'm feeling at that moment, whether it would make me feel great or bad. thinking is like a drug. it gives me some exhilaration. until i regress. sometimes, i think this craft is what's making my life too confusing. whatever i think at the moment affects my mood which most often than not makes me brood. like traffic lights: i either go green and brood; yellow and breath in, breath out; or stop and laugh at myself. if i find myself a complex character to understand, how much more can another person make a coherence analysis of me?
so i understand when people can't understand me. i myself can't.
it's february so let me be mushy.
CAUTION: TOO MUSHY IT MAY CAUSE YOU NAUSEA. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!
i'm not in love
but i'd like to think
that i'm in love
even if i'm not
why? you may ask.
perhaps because
i miss the headaches
and the heartaches
that comes with love
but more than those
i miss the loving
i miss the missing
i miss the cuddling
i miss the kissing
i miss the bleeping
the i love you's
the i miss you's
the muaahs
the aaahhhs
the holding hands
the stares
the looks
the sweet silence
i hope someday
i still get the chance
to have someone
who has as much
passion as i have
to love again
as passionately
as i ever can
breakups suck! moreso if you're left pining for him still. more more so if you're pining and you actually hope and believe that there's still something left for you to get back at him. more more more so if you actually get back at him. by then, you're not only acting stupid. you are really being stupid!
how many times have i been stupid, you ask? lemme count... 4 times! wow! a quarter times ehstuhphida! nyehehe! and to top it all, it has been the same guy over and over and over again. sheesh! i don't know if anybody could beat that! then again, i guess only he can beat me at that! i guess you know by now that i'm referring to the flame, my loser ex-boyfriend. loser is he who dumps me. wahahaha!! i'm being the assuming biatch that i am. hehe.. oh btw, he didn't dump me. i dumped him! but he did got a girl pregnant before i could dump him... tsk tsk.. naisahan ko dah! mah pride was hurt. hated him for awhile. wished him the worst worst worst wish one could ever dream of.
that was way long ago. now i can't even fault him for what happened. i know. i'm kind eh?! or maybe i'm just that open-minded. because i think too much, a time always comes when even the worst that happened to me becomes the best i can ever be grateful for. i'm not really sure if that is good for me. it's good because it allows me to move on with my life and forget the angst i feel for awhile. it's good because even after all the heartaches, i can still go back to my old sane-but-crazy self.
now why am i talking about breakups? la lang.. it just came up on my mind. i was thinking if i learned something from those sorry bastards. i think a lot. in fact, i think too too much.
