This is another vanity post. KTHNXBAI! People have been giving me great comments on my new look. My new haircut and recent hospitalization plus some new items in my wardrobe has made more people notice how much weight I have lost. People (mga bolero) have been telling me I look younger even if I just celebrated my birthday. My cousin, my Ninang, and my new Diyosa body at a Davao dorm I am very much basking in the glow of these comments as I have been overweight since I was nine years old. Before that I was a skinny kid. Ever since I was in grade three, I have been mocked for being fat. The fact that I don't have a bubbly personality, and I am quite a competitive girl, didn't really earn me a lot of socialization points. In high school and college, although I have mellowed a bit, I didn't have much of a lovelife. I learned how to cook in college, and I my condo was surrounded by fastfood chains and restaurants which led me to gain so much weight that at my fattest I had a 38 (YUS! 38!) waistline, and weighed almost 150 lbs.

You Changed My Life
My cousin asked me to blog so here goes... The title suggests I watched the John Lloyd - Sarah movie. I did. And I can't think of a more creative title for this post. So... Whatever! I watched the movie coz 1) I love John Lloyd, 2) my bestfriend who idolizes Robin Padilla loves the movie so I got intrigued, and 3) I wanted to feel kilig even for just an hour or so. The movie is good and lives up to expectations. I don't get why it got an A though. The story is good, the lines were memorable, the direction, cinematography, and editing were ok. John Lloyd was adorable. He was cute, lovable, and made me believe he is all in love but confused and desired to please his family. He was good but there's nothing new or shocking to his performance. Sarah is surprisingly good. I didn't watch the first movie so her acting kinda shocked me. Her Laida is miles away from her Bituing Walang Ningning character (which I liked) but she delivered. Me thinks she can act well. The rest of the cast were good as well. Even the Laguna factory workers. What I really…
Poker Face
A few days after comparing my love/relationship skills to how I play poker, I saw this music video... How timely! Here's the lyrics to Radio Gaga's Poker Face: POKER FACE Radio Gaga Mum mum mum mah Mum mum mum mah I wanna hold em' like they do in Texas Plays Fold em' let em' hit me raise it baby stay with me (I love it) Luck and intuition play the cards with Spades to start And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh I'll get him hot, show him what I've got Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhh, ohh-oh-e-ohh-oh-oh, I'll get him hot, show him what I've got Can't read my, Can't read my No he can't read my poker face (she’s got to love nobody) Can't read my Can't read my No he can't read my poker face (she’s got to love nobody) P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah) P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face (Mum mum mum mah) I wanna roll with him a hard pair we will be A little gambling is fun when you're with me I love it) Russian Roulette is not the same without…
Dance Performance Made of Pure WIN!
Here's a sample clip of one of the dance performances during the dinner after the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 2 here in General Santos City: The performers are members Teatro Ambahanon of the Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges. It was really a very interesting performance. Skills wise and in terms of atheticism, they really gave a 100%. The choreography was artistic. Kinda shocking, but not too bad. Not for minors, though. DIDYA ENJOY IT?! MORE TO COME SOON! :P
The Night I Used My Baccarat Knowledge For the Good of Mankind
Last Tuesday night, I had a blast at the Digital Filipino Networking Event at the Pantawan Hall of the Casino Filipino at the Grand Regal Hotel here in Davao City. It's not secret I go to the casino regularly with my friends, but usually I am there to control my friends' gambling. After weeks of going to the casino, I was able to finally wield my gambling know-how to help out other bloggers. The night started with a sumptuous buffet of veggies, seafoods, and lechon (roast pig). Then, there was a bit of talk from Tita Janette Toral about the progress of blogging in the Philippines, and the top 100 blogs for 2008. We were quite proud that there was a number of the top 100 bloggers from Davao such as Blogie, Kuya Andrew, and Winston. Then, the fun began. There was overflowing iced tea, and BOOZE. Ten bloggers were then chosen to play in a poker tournament. Me, Kuya, and our other cousin Gwing were all chosen. YEY! Our goal was not to be the first one out of the table. LOL! And we managed to do that. Gwing was the third one out. While, me and Kuya managed…
