TV taught me how to feel, now real life has no appeal

Gossip Girl returned a few weeks ago and I have been watching it religiously. Maybe it's the dreariness of my own life that makes such a lame show so exciting in comparison. Maybe it's that I don't care about the mindless plot lines anymore and just watch for the unrealistically amazing outfits. Whatever the reason for my persistent following for this show, the fact remains that it is part of what I look forward to every week.


I am tired of shows that just switch main characters as love interests of each other, but I never thought a Dan/Blair tandem would get me so excited!

Look at them. That's sexual tension right there!

These two are probably my favorite characters out of the main cast and I never thought of them as a couple, but it works! Granted that they don't have an actual love story yet, but they have given us a taste and we want more! It's actually sad that this episode (Panic Roommate) didn't have any Dan/Blair scenes. I'd like to think the idea hasn't been scrapped because I've already envisioned what they would be like as a couple. Saturdays spent lovingly bickering over where to go- Dan wanting to go to a poetry reading in Brooklyn while Blair urging to watch at the Metropolitan Opera. (Obviously I am too emotionally invested in this so the writers better not kill off this love team!) Dan/Blair will be the most intelligent, most cultured couple in New York!

Another thing that's new on the show is Raina (did I spell that right?) and Thorpe Enterprises.

I really couldn't care less about all this Empire hoo-ha nor do I care about Chuck's love life (I mean really? The reformed bad boy image doesn't work anymore. Chuck has fallen for so many girls in the past that we've lost interest.), but I am a wee bit interested in this Raina girl. I'm sure either she turns out to be a traitor or she ends up with Chuck. I am just so bothered by the fact that the show is writing her as an identical version of Chuck, except with ethnic diversity and a vagina. I mean, come on. They have the same hiding place? Lame.

Now for the Ben thing. I really don't have much thoughts on it. Whenever there is a scene with Serena, I always just take a second to examine her whole outfit (the only good thing about this character) and then my attention focuses on something other than the show. I just find Serena's character to be so daft and it gets boring to watch her after a while. I do think Ben is hot though!

Also, someone needs to explain to me the scarf and gown combo. Is this a thing?

The show needs something fresh! Kill someone. Give someone herpes. Make Serena poor and deformed. I don't know. Something!

I do enjoy the show's guest stars. They had Rachel Zoe, Stefano Tonchi, and this week it was Florence + The Machine (which is one of my fave bands!).


No matter how many complaints I have for this show, I'll still continue to watch it every week. No other show delivers such great fashion.

Holiday Spirit

So that last post was kind of a bummer and I don't want this blog to reflect the downer that is my life. Positivity! Happiness! All that shit! In keeping up with all the good thoughts (I don't know how sarcasm will translate into the internet so I hope this is working) I'll blog about something that makes me happy.

Last December my friends and I decided we would have our own Christmas celebration. We have been separated by being in different universities at it was really nice to catch up over a great meal (which was equivalent to five).








We ate at the buffet in Manila Peninsula. The food was good and the company was even better. We all caught up with each other and everything we have been doing in college. It's great to have friends who are always going to be there no matter how long since you've seen each other. It was great to be around that sense of familiarity.

Of course, we had the obligatory photo shoot. We don't care if we're in a Church or a busy street or whatever, we will take photos of ourselves and everything.








I usually skip out whenever someone asks me to go out because, well, I am a social sloth, but I just missed my friends a lot so I decided I would go. After dinner, we wen to to Tina's house to just hang out and talk. As always, the night ended with a lot of laughs!



CHEERS TO GOOD FRIENDS!

*This is probably the lamest and cheesiest post I have ever made. So now you people understand why I rarely ever post anything solely about my personal life- it's because it sucks and I suck at talking about it.

So it's quite obvious that I don't really post on this blog about my actual life. Is it because I don't have one or is it because I just don't like to talk about it? I think it's a little bit of both. So on the rare occasions like this that I actually spend time outside of my room, I will have to blog about it. (Also I am waiting for my Love and Other Drugs download to finish and I am impatient)

I had to stay in the dorm last night (even though it was a Friday) to get to Ateneo by 7am. The exposure trip was so disappointing. I accepted that I would have to go to some place with dozens of devilish little children. I would have to teach them and then play with them and that they would probably just be assclowns who won't listen to a word I say, but I'll do it anyway because I am trying to help these unfortunate kids (hey, I have a heart, okay?). I accepted my fate and went there with little to no complaints. We finally get there and shit, none of our elaborate preparations are carried through because there are only a handful of kids (What the fuck did they expect, that all kids would rush to school on a fucking Saturday?). They were all rowdy and rude, so instead of making them do what we want, they had us do what they wanted. There was a lot of running and sweat on their part (meaning my other classmates and the kids) and a lot of observing and not giving a fuck on my part along with my two friends Karen and Dionne.

We ended up just talking the whole time. After the exposure trip, we went to Dionne's house and omg dogs!!!! So. Many. Dogs. I really wish Frankie would be nicer to me. I feel like a mother with a crazy rebellious son! :'( I am so jealous of Dionne who has several very nice children agh I will be a horrid mother.

We ate at Omakase after. It's my new favorite place now! I had the unhealthiest sushi ever. Deep fried with cream cheese and salmon, yum! Again, just spent a lot of time talking and laughing (at people, mostly).

I have learned a lot of thingstoday.
1. Girls can be cruel bitches to other girls who are either one or more of the following
a. condescending
b. pretentious
c. douche-y
d. pa-cute (ugh I cannot think of another word for this it's 1am give me a break)
e. just plain annoying
f. deserve it
2. My school isn't as awful as I thought when it comes to legalistic Catholic rules.
3. Lesbian sex: how does it work?
4. How different high school friends are from college friends

Saying that I am exhausted is an understatement. I had to go grocery shopping before I could get home. I had to cook too because the maid was ironing clothes. I have a paper due in two days and I have yet to start on it. To top it all off, I got an F as my partial Math grade. I am glad that I had a semi-good Saturday, because tomorrow it's back to academics! Now, I need to go wash the treatment off my hair! Good night! :)

I have a terrible headache at the moment (the cause of is a mystery to me), but I just cannot wait to post these anymore! I've been keeping tabs on the Spring Haute Couture collections. There are just a few of them and I will just post the ones I like.
