On Harry
Sunday, November 20th, 2005Saw Harry Potter today and the little girl inside me is very excited. I believe Viktor Krum in the movie is positively gorgeous. I guess I go for the dark-ish guy with an incredibly athletic physique; and the accent me love. I totally lost 10 IQ points staring at him.
I kinda wanted to see how Fleur defeated her dragon and the
rest of the Champions too (esp. Viktor). And why is it that Fleur, being the only woman in the contest, is portrayed as a fumbling damsel in distress? Its sexism. And I didn’t see the dancing thingy that they were supposed to do at the start of the international quidditch thing. There were no leprechauns and Salem withches in the movie, nor elves clamoring.
Cho’s role was almost uneventful. The mermaid song was fabulous. Mertyl is a bitch. Ralph Fiennes was great.
Daniel Radcliffe is certainly beautiful. He looks absolutely dreamy at his MTV screen interview.
The Scent of Graduation
Friday, November 18th, 2005Yesterday, 11/18/05, I had finally conquered the balakid that was my thesis defense and am quite confident to say that I shall be graduating this March (finally.)
Today, I had (thank goodness) enrolled the last few classes that will take me to the comencement exercise. Thanks to all the people who encouraged me and helped me out during those sleepless nights and days of figuring out what a problematic situation was. To all the friends who reminded me my graduation is long overdue and to those who introduced me to Extra Joss, many thanks.
To my detractors, screw you and get a life. *belat*
Smile, life is good!

Stupid Journalism
Wednesday, November 16th, 2005[something I posted on the forums page at hipstir.com]
The only worth while news there is are the foreign ones i. e. CNN and BBC.
The problem is that there is too much capitalism in our TV stations that they are simply too glad to sacrifice content for the entertainment of the so called masa. What is a masa?
If what masa means is a society which is tunnel-visioned toward superfluous gratification, then I’m very worried as to which type of culture our media are gearing us toward.
News should ideally stimulate our minds to become informed ergo participative in society esp. socio-political and economic issues, it should tell us of recent developments that will enrich our knowlege. Feature stories about celebrities suing another for giving her the clap, or gyrating figures of the Sto. NiƱo should be put in another show if not completely ignored.
The sad part is, many well-educated journalists go along with the lunacy. Word up y’all.
Diary Entry: 11/14/05
Monday, November 14th, 2005Pronto,
Today is my big sis’ birthday and we spent some time wedding planning. We romped into Chinatown too. My geez, these Chinese dudes are all over the place (which is not so odd.) Have to brush up on my Mandarin. Better learn phrases other than: wo han mei li and such… Perhaps I’ll be able to hook up with a Gocongwei, then I’ll impress them with my chunky and rich Chinese soup in which I shall add just one egg.
Alright, I did promise myself never to blow big bucks on rubber thongs, but it was calling to me and it needed my love. It was a typical scene from "Lukso ng dugo" (or something) when I saw it. the first thing I thought was: "that’ll go great with mah black bead necklace" which i bought after the slipper. hehe… It’s black, sophisticated and so comfy, goes great with just about any get up. Ah, vanity.
I guess I’m never the one with the "happy feet." I rarely wear flat sandals out of the house so my feet don’t get much attention apart from the usual scrubbing, but with the new addition to my footwear, I must proceed to Fanny’s at once. Well, at least I’m not as hooked to the thong trend as much as my posh friend Vincent who’d live in Brasil if he can. (he gives his slippers names.)
Arivadercci, Beni.
Diary Entry: 11/13/05
Sunday, November 13th, 2005Mwah mon Diarie,
It’s Sunday and woke up at 12 noon. SInce I never had the time nor the excitement to go to a shop and buy wall paper, i covered my walls with fashion magazine pages. Loved it so much. See, Oprah once said that you deserve to feel good and beautiful; to do this, you must decorate and surround yourself with pretty things. You deserve it.
While I was checking out my old Diary Entries, I was struck with nostalgia. I mean, when you read my first entries when graduating wasn’t as imminent, I was talking about Mr. Perfect all the time.
And now, guess what, he won the Close-up national model search. I guess I was his original fan. I saw his TV ad this afternoon. We were introduced twice but didn’t become too close ‘coz I think he thought I was mataray. I always saw him around; in the gym, coffee shop, the bar. He must have thought I was stalking. Now that he’s a celeb, however, I might think about doing that. hehe…
A lot of other people I know are now TV personalities. Joey, that bouncy gay dancer in StarDance used to sleep in my room without my permission, and now he’s in that little box sitting in my room. Carine Cabebe (another Close-up winner) was a chatty girl from the school office next to mine. My classmate, Buboy, made it to the MTV VJ hunt finals and I always see him in Nina’s music video. And Cindy Gonzaga nga pala of the "look who got off the Bus" of Boy Abunda was my classmate.
Ah, celebrity.
Oh diary, when will be the day when you’ll see me in CNN promoting Human Rights in Bosnia?
Sincerely, Beni
P.S. Met a friend online, Angelo, this week. He’s a dear, but we don’t get to chat often.
The Wooden Bead from Within
Saturday, November 12th, 2005For some people is the aviator sunglasses, for some the priceless Havaianas, for some the boho skirt, for me its the wooden bead necklaces.
The thing just drapes around your neck, swaying gracefully as you glide through a hallway. It’s so versatile and it matches so well with the classic white tee, which, by the way, everyone should have; from the petite to the gargantuan.
You can wear big black ones to a funeral, three layers of small white beads to a christening, bright red ones to collect dues, yellow if you feel like a lemon and a managerie of green ones when feeling like Coco Chanel on a rain forest canopy.
Goes great with a white tank top while matching it with your skirt when out in the evening. It’s boho without being as if you’ve been harassed by Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier and Donatella Versace with a murderous vengence. Think, fashion road kill.
Fear not to accessorize, people of earth, the wooden beads have come. What’s your fave accessory?
