Guess who talked to Kris Allen via microphones? Guess who got Kris Allen to give a shout out to the charity efforts of ontd_ai?

Next mission, get that hug for my birthday.

Sorry for the capslock that will assault your eyes.

I MAY HAVE THE CHANCE TO TALK TO KRIS ALLEN WHEN HE'S HERE IN MANILA!!!!!

Basically, I sucked it up and asked our lifestyle editor if it was okay that I cover the press conference for Kris Allen when he goes here in February. She agreed, as long as it doesn't interfere with my regular coverages.

So yes, I am dying a fangirl death.

Now all we need is surprhaize!Kradam and I can die happy. Actually Kris can hug me for my birthday then Adam would direct message me and then I can die. Wait wait, David Cook can kiss me, then I can die.

Orrrr... Johnny Weir reaches his potential and mentions fans from the Philippines, then I will die.

Speaking of Johnny, US Nationals starts next week. I'm preparing all my vibes to be good and send it off to him. He sounds soo confident in the teleconference. I really think this time around, he is serious about not leaving out a combination (three jump combo please!) and bringing his passion to the ice.

So I finally watched the whole thing. Hark thee spoilers ahead.

( Your song is ending )

So there goes my Doctor. Not my first Doctor, that was Nine. I loved him but Ten was my Doctor. It was his series that made me dig up the old ones (I heart Romana SFM). In some way I'm gonna miss RTD too. I can't wait though for whatever Moffat has under his sleeve. More Reinette? Of course not but whatever it is I can't wait.

Anyway, thank you David Tennant. On to Matt Smith. Who knows, I may like Eleven soon enough.

I don't have a nice and tight lead, or even an interesting one.

Just that I am so ready for this new year. 2009 was nuts. I guess it was going okay and then hi too much water and not enough time to grab everything. So yes, 2009 GTFO, but before you do, let's recap most of the year shall we?

THIS YEAR I:
- am comfortable with the job, got annoyed with it, and is somewhat okay with it
- watched David Cook and David Archuleta sing their hearts off on stage
- found the benches in ontd_ai
- have a new room
- contributed much more to the family income
- discovered Kradam
- saw that when the worst thing in your life happens, you family will be there to be with you, fight with you, survive with you. And I love them all the more for that

IN 2009 I REALLY SHOULD'VE:
- lost weight
- exercised more (this is always on my fucking list isn't it?)
- cared more about the job
- knew my priorities
- stopped swearing so much

FOR 2010, MY GOALS ARE TO
- lose at least 5 pounds by March and then 10 by August, which means I need to find a gym and a gym buddy. Applicants may send resumes in the comments section please and thank you!
- set up a system to upload pictures right away, I know shocker
- clean my room at least twice a month
- keep going to the back doctor, and drag the mother along starting next week
- reevaluate my future, in other words figure out how to get a Master's degree and what job would let me do whatever that is
- pay the telephone bill every month even if I have to call the fucking PLDT customer service every month to get the stupid bill
- stop swearing so much not swear in front of girldevil so she won't scold me
- get myself out there but stop being so desperate, maybe that way I can have a meaningful relationship
- leave the internet at least a day

So there you have it. Let's do it 2010!
HAPPY NEW YEAR BBS!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!

I'm eating a sour candy cane right now and loving every minute of it.


Also, most of the night was spent opening gifts for my nieces and nephews and playing with them. I love the holidays.

So Happy Holidays everyone, have a great one!

This is how I know I'm such a girl.

I move my clothes from the parents' closet to my newly built one. And I am missing 20 pieces of clothing.

Yes, I have 20 pieces of clothing missing from my clothes that almost do not fit my newly expanded (by about a foot) closet. I have had to "edit" out some clothes because let's face it, I am never fitting back into a size 24 or a size 6.

Really, when anyone asks me how I keep track of all my clothes I can say that I sometimes see stuff I never wear. But yet I know that 20 pieces are missing, all of which I regularly wear.

Interesting thought that I always end up wearing the same outfits for work.

Want to find my DebSoc jackets and my khaki trench, and my favorite mini. Life is not complete without them...

It feels so effing good to be back in my own room. It's shiny and pretty and I've now got a huuuge new closet waiting to be filled to the brink with clothes new and old.

It's kind of sad looking at my shiny new desk/bookshelf thing inspired by Olivia Wilde's house because, well, I no longer have that many books to put in it (or bags for that matter, damn) but I've begun to rebuild my library. Which means that if any of you good people want to give me a gift for Christmas, please be buying the Read Red edition of Penguin of Mansfield Park and Persuasion and other classics in the regular black Penguin editions. Yes I am picky and I want a pretty library.

Can I just say how freaking it marvelous it feels to be able to do whatever I want, sleep as late as I want and to watch whatever I want? It's effing brilliant.

****

In other news, I have never wanted Patrick Chan to win so much than now. Win Super Chan so Johnny gets into the Grand Prix Final. Johnny had an amazing run in NHK Trophy and I want that momentum to continue.

****

Also, how can find out when Kris Allen and For Your Entertainment be coming out in the Philippines? Because I need those like nao.

Congratulations UPD-A!!!!

My voice is hoarse and I wasn't able to concentrate on anything today (well there was drama llama and Adam's Entertaining me) but who the fuck cares when NDC is over and it's more than you imagined it to be?

First off, congratulations to all the teams in the Finals. On a really shallow note, everyone on stage was pretty and the shoes were amazing. On a more on point note, the motion was interesting and very very current.

But mostly it was about all the jump hugging or hug jumping and falling on tables. Rushing Anna and Aaron and trying as hard as one could to not trip over the stairs.

I am so proud of you guys. Alumni TLC is fun, I only wish I was able to show my support a lot more. I mean, if I just woke up earlier I would've been at the trainings and well, I really should've finished writing early so I can go to the rounds.

Congrats to the organizers too, it seemed that everyone was happy and well, breaknight!

So really, I'm glad to have been witness for the second NDC win of UP Diliman. I still owe you guys donuts.

I feel like such a bad fan.

All these 'gasms being caused by Kris and the Adamstorm have taken up a lot of my time and attention that I have not been getting constant practice reports from figure skating competitions. Well, I think there's also a general difficulty in obtaining the reports because of the complete lack of TV figure skating coverage on TV lately (fail TV people and ISU, the Olys are coming up you know!)

But now, heartbreak.

Johnny just missed the podium at the Rostelecom Cup in Russia.

But as much as it hurts, more so for him I bet, I know that Johnny will be kicking ass in the NHK Trophy in two weeks. Because Johnny is a fighter. And he wants that gold.

So from now on, I will be a better fan. I will be supporting Johnny to the ends of the Earth and that is not an exaggeration. This time, when I say that I will pray for his winning, I really really would.

I'm sure Kradam would understand, I won't completely forget them anyway.

This is a very public note of thanks to y_slaybelle for her generous gift of a new David Cook CD to replace my own copy which was lost to the Flood.

So, thanks! I keep playing it in the car now and I think our driver's memorized some of the songs hehe.

Really I'm fine. As long as there's a roof above my head, a bed/mattress/foam to sleep in and water and food to eat, I'm fine.

Never mind the fact that my claddagh ring is missing, I can't find my clearbook of very important papers, all my CL grad pics are missing including pictures of my friends, oh and the fact that my room smells like a spa treatment gone wrong.

And that my Buffy CDs and David Cook the album has been given to the mud.

I'm fine and I've accepted.

Truly I don't think I will buy as much stuff as before (I lie! Bwahahaha!). Cleaning that shit is well, like shit.

It's really been a forced bonding moment for the family. We're kind of close, but I never really wanted to ever spend this much time in the brother's room (honestly it smells eew) or to ever sleep early because the parents want some shut eye. But it's a nice feeling anyway that if ever it rains as much as before, they're right there.

Basically what we've learned throughout this whole calamity (other than don't buy small stuff and buy tons of ziplock bag) is to build a house with way to get to helicopters to save you.

Oh and regret sucks. Regret that you didn't think of saving important things and regret that you said no to the offer of building you a second floor bedroom.

If anyone wants to help me and my family out, a new TV and ref would be nice. Oh and a working Mastercard.

Yes I know, that line's from the Pilot but I don't care.

OMG, "Preggers" is the best episode yet. It didn't need big, fancy, back-up singer-ed musical numbers to bring home the point of the episode.

There was character growth, story and plot movement and heaps and heaps of emotion. It really felt like a TV show now and not something to watch when it comes every week, but an honest to goodness show that would last for more than one season.

( The theme for tonight was confessions and coming out )

Didn't know I'd be this verbose at 3:25 am. And coherent, oh my Ra I actually sound sane.

Also, Kristen Chenowith won an Emmy. All is right in the world.

Technically today was my first day at the Telcos/Transport beat.

Can I just say, I never thought the day would come where I would think that the Comelec is very efficient. But srsly, NTC, either hire a media relations officer or fix your filing thing. The world will be a much better place.

I already miss the political beat.

In Malaysia now in the hippest hotel I've ever been in.

Now really, there's a bar beside the concierge and everything with a freaking DJ. Plus, we were served gourmet ice cream as a welcoming treat.

It's 1 am now and I have to go and jump on the beds like a rockstar oh yeah!

I'm moving beats.

For the past year I've been in the political beat, staying at the CBCP press room, running to the Comelec/DoLE/DoH at a moments notice. I've been a part of history so to speak. I was there when the bidding for election automation failed. I was there when people started losing their jobs and the government was caught unawares.

But in two weeks that'll be all gone.

Sure I'm excited. After all change is good.

But really, why would I want to leave the Comelec before the Presidential elections?

I was all ready to cover the elections, to be there at possibly 2 am when the winner is announced. I had plans and I was ready to be a part of history as the Comelec reporter who told the world who won in the first fully automated elections in the Philippines.

I don't want to be stuck reporting on the earnings of Smart and Globe or talking about the new developments in the LRTA. In the long run that does not matter.

I hate that just when I can be contributing something big, I lose it.

So no, I should be excited that I get to grow more as a reporter, but I'm not. And I don't care who knows it.

I don't know if this is bad, but seriously, the first thought that popped into my head after the press were given notice of the major announcement of Mar Roxas, was that there won't be a wedding anymore because there's no point to it.

Part of me is gleeful at that admission. The other part wants to vehemently deny that fact and pretend that I'm actually deeper than that.

Guess which part won?

In other news, I can't wait for Glee. The "Gold Digger" cover is all kinds of amazing. Matty Fresh!

Yes. The LJ blackout. And probably something related to companies, politics or mishandling of cultural ideas/projects. IDEK.

But I never boycotted classes. I guess because I thought the taxpayers are paying for my education or maybe at that certain day I did not particularly care enough about the issue being protested. Or maybe because I'm just weird IDK. Sometimes I wish I boycotted one or two classes just to know what walking out feels like.

First of... *hugs* to thinkingdizzy! Remember, never take the last train and Watashiwa kirei-des is a good way to introduce yourself. Hehehe, will miss you! Although you're not leaving like, until next week. :D

Anyway, I rarely ate at home this week. Thank you social butterfly. Hee, I love it. I have a social life haha.

There really isn't any point to this entry.

And I really miss my semagic.
