Somebody Hold My Hand!

C’mon… anybody?

It’s all I need right now.

PG SPINS: Björk’s “Declare Independence”

Wohooow! It’s out at last… Björk’s music video for her new single “Declare Independence” from Volta. Been looking forward to this. It’s directed by Michel Gondry no less! Their first team-up in years! This was supposed to be the 2nd single but they didn’t get to finish the video on time, so they went with “Innocence” first, the video of which was fan-made and was chosen in a contest.

Just a little background on the song. It was originally an instrumental piece by Mark Bell, and Björk just added her vocals over it. Her lyrics are dedicated to Greenland and Faeroe Islands, both autonomous regions of Denmark. In the video, you could actually see Björk wearing the flag of Greenland on her arm. 

Talk about vision! Certainly didn’t disappoint.

PG TV: Courtney + China = Crayzeh!

REALITY MOMENT OF THE DAY 

Welcome to the pilot issue of PG TV’s “Reality Moment of the Day”! Haha! Because this season’s shaping up to becoming one of the best in the reality genre in a long time, I’m gonna start posting great entertaining moments from my favorite shows in here. I originally thought of doing it weekly, but there’s just so many great moments so far already that, you know, I didn’t think it would be enough. Hehe.

CLIP: Now on it’s 15th season, Survivor: China doesn’t seem to be losing it at all. This edition so far has proved to be both exciting and entertaining, and is arguably one of the best seasons Survivor’s had post-Pearl Islands (season 7).

Featured in the clip are choice confessionals from Survivor castaway Courtney, probably this season’s most controversial and talked about player mainly because of her weight (or lack thereof). But as they say, big things come in small packages and that is especially true here in this case. This castaway may be tiny, but she definitely ain’t no pushover. She speaks her mind out and is mostly entertaining and funny when she does so.

PG TV: Have a Spice Girls Christmas!

At the risk of turning this into a Spice Girls shrine, I’m posting these two ads the girls just did for UK superstore chain Tesco. Ah, sooo cute! YA HAVE TO SEE ‘EM!

Excuses, Excuses!

NOV. 17
Leo to Office: Sorry I can’t (come the the office) today cos it’s my sister’s wedding.

NOV. 23
Leo to Office: Sorry I can’t today cos my sister’s giving birth.

TODAY
Leo to Office: Sorry I can’t tonight cos it’s both my sisters’ birthday. We’re having dinner.

I’m not so sure they’ll believe me still, but heck it’s the truth! Haha.

Is It So Bad…

If I actually buy the Spice Girls’ Greatest Hits album? Aargh… may DVD kasi ng lahat ng videos nila eh! Cool kaya nun.

Swear, tuwing napapadaan ako sa mall naiisip kong bumili. Pero medyo nkakahiya rin eh. Haha! Magpapabili na lang ako sa pinsan ko para ‘di halata. Wehehe!

Anyway guys, check this out… their first public performance together since they reunited. Cute!

WhattaWeek!

ALL IN ONE WEEK:

- My sister got married. Beautiful beautiful ceremony and reception. I was in tears while she was walking down the aisle. She chose “Moon River” as her song. It was magical — they played an orchestral version for the entourage and a choral version for the bride. The reception was amazing as well. Then she moved out of the house the next day. A bittersweet moment that was. The house is a bit more silent now but I’m really happy for them.

- My other sister gave birth… they brought home her baby just now. Baby Yesha! I’m sure she’ll help liven the house up a lot. It’s exciting. It IS so true what they say that a woman is at her most beautiful after giving birth. Seeing the baby was great, but it was seeing my sister after she gave birth that really moved me to tears.

- Reconnected with my brother and saw my pamangkin baby Ely for the first time. Remember I asked you guys to help pray for his survival after birth? GOD is really good and answered all our prayers. He’s really healthy now, and might I add… amazingly handsome (like me!). Got to spend time with Trixie as well! My other pamangkin sa kuya ko. Coolness!

Bittersweet — in a word, that’s how everything was. Sad because of course, I won’t get to be around my sisters that much anymore. And I’m really really close to them so it’s hard. But in a way, it’s good ‘cos it helps me move forward. Grow up more. Not be too dependent I guess. All my siblings have families now and so naturally that would be their  focus. It’s easy to see it as losing family, but I’ve learned to see it as otherwise. I know I’m sounding kinda selfish, but it IS hard especially for a bunso. Haha. Plus I’m the only one left without my ownm so I hope you see why I probably feel left out and alone.

Anyway, I know I’ll get used to everything soon enough. And I’m hoping things go well for everyone. Long as ebribadis happy, I’m happy.

Parang Sinigang na Bangus na may Baboy (A Dinner Conversation)

Leo: Nakita ko si ate Ann kanina. Tas sasabihin ko sana ‘yung tungkol sa wedding mo kaso naisip ko… “nako, baka hindi siya ininvite ni ate”.
Leng: Oo nga eh di ko na siya na-invite.
Leo: Si ate Kathy ba ininvite mo?
Leng: Hindi rin.
Leo: Sa bagay, di ka rin naman niya ininvite sa wedding niya.
Leng: Kasal na si Kathy?!
Leo: Ay hindi pa ba?
Leng: Ang alam ko hindi.
Leo: Eh ano ‘yun nagka-baby lang siya?
Leng: Nabuntis si Kathy!?
Leo: Ay hindi ba?
Leng: Tumaba lang siya. Kasi nagka-problema siya Thyroid.
Leo: Ah parang ‘yung sakit mo…
Leng: Hindi. Iba. Hypothyroid ‘yung sa ‘kin. Kabaliktaran.
Leo: Ha? Eh bakit ka tumaba?
Leng: Gumaling ako.

When In Doubt…

When in doubt… restart.

If doubt remains… let it rest.

If doubt’s still there… then there’s probably a good reason why.

No Hugging Please

US Schools Enforce Hug Ban [follow link to watch news clip]

Nako kung tayo ‘yan, na-expel na siguro tayong lahat. Haha! This is really stupid though. If they want their students to stop making public displays of affection in school, fine. But sometimes a hug can also just be an innocent gesture to a friend. And punishing even that is crazy. It’s beyond crazy. It’s inhumane!

Take for example the case of that student who was punished because she was comforting a friend who lost a family member. Ano ‘yun, bawal? Labo mehn.
