Charice Pempengco in Glee, Season 2

I am not a big fan of Charice Pempengco simply because I am not fond of listening to "birit" (belter) kind of singing. But her song with Iyaz, Pyramid, is so fine. I like it.

Even if I am not a super fan I still couldn't wait to watch her in Glee's second season. I love Glee and all the cast. Now a fellow Filipino is there for everyone to admire. She has a really powerful voice I must say (even if I am not inclined to her style of singing). She's good. She did not appear to be a sore thumb among the rest of the cast. In fact, Charice was able to blend well. I like the confidence she exudes while acting and singing her way in the first episode.

I can't wait for the next episode. I actually missed Kurt and Finn! By the way, I love the group's version of Empire State of Mind and Rachel's "What I Did for Love".

Go, Glee!

Unconscious Mutterings #30

Killing time before the daily grind. Bracing myself for a very, very full week ahead. LOADED! In the mean time, here are my mutterings for the week.

I say ... and you think ... ?

Singapore :: Orchard Road
blah blah blah :: yaddah yaddah yaddah
Stall :: Booth
Bowls :: Soups
Entrance :: Gateway
Antique :: Old
Elizabeth :: Arden
Hook :: line and sinker
Width :: side to side
Photo journalism :: something that seems exciting to explore


It's Monday here and start of a full work and school week again. Have fun and enjoy every moment! God bless!

Side A

I missed their concert last night. I was supposed to meet my friends at the venue but loads of work and heavy traffic proved to be a lethal combination so I decided not t proceed. It was almost eleven in the evening already. I learned they left the place at around one in t morning.

I am hoping we'll set a date soon when I am not that busy so I can join them. I love Side A band since I was in high school, college and even when I was already working up to now that I have a tween daughter. The guys in the band are just a little older than my batch I guess. They still sound the same, almost look the same except for the hair of the lead vocalist, Joey Generoso. I like his hair long actually.

To compensate for not watching them live, I have been listening to their songs through YouTube. And here's one of my favorites, Set You Free.


But here's one song I truly loved during early 2000.


And I love Joey Generoso's hair in this video, their version of Let the Pain Remain.

Unconscious Mutterings #29

It's a very rainy Sunday. Bed-weather really. Done with morning activities. We had lunch in one of our favorite restaurants. Chanced upon a good friend. Bought some DVDs and other things my daughter needs for her school tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm stuck because of the heavy rains which means I cannot attend the get-together with some of my high school friends.

Trying my best to control eating in this kind of weather but I have just consumed a plate of a popular local food, Pancit Malabon with shrimps and hard boiled eggs and calorie inducing sauce. I had my share of half of okoy - again with shrimps and bean sprouts, egg and tofu dipped in vinegar. I also had a bite of cassava cake. God, I am so full.

I have been dieting for half a year now and have never felt this full. So now I know that you easily get full when your stomach have been used to wheat bread, wheat pasta, white meat and fruits.

Before I shake off all the calories I've had, let me blog away and let all the food settle. Sharing my unconscious mutterings for the week:

I say ... and you think ... ?

Coma :: unconscious
Aristotle :: philospher
Pink eye :: conjunctivitis
Expensive :: travel
Dancer :: SYTYCD (lol, that's the first thing that entered my mind, So You Think You Can Dance)
Lipstick :: I like it glossy.
Buffer :: Extra (like stocks which are used in case forecast is short)
Stilettos :: I love them!
Booming :: flourishing
Rap :: Eminem (well, he's the one who first got into my head).

Whooa! The rain is getting stronger as I post this. I wonder if there will be school tomorrow at the rate things are going. My daughter will be very happy if there is none.

Looking forward to a fruitful week!

James Joyce

I write like
James Joyce

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

I tried this thrice just to see if I will get the same results. The first was Margaret Atwood and twice I got James Joyce. I prefer James Joyce. He's one of my favorite writers. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is in my top ten list of books. :) Makes me want to read it again.
