Guilty pleasure

Sunday's episode of GG was amazing! Sadly Chuck didn't get to wear purple BUT he was less vulnerable this time and i guess, pretty much found himself again. Manwhore Chunk is slowly making his comeback (yƩ!!!). I hate to say this, but i somewhat think Chuck and Vanessa look cute together and so does Blair and Nate =x. Now i'm not saying that i ship both parties but they don't look that bad on screen. I actually think Blair needs Nate in her life right now. Is she doing it for the right reasons? That i do not know. But i guess to keep the show moving, they where bound to have a fling somehow. Speaking of which, that Gabriel dude is HOT! Serena is one lucky pinkberry! Have anyone noticed the plate of carbs hiding Kelly Rutherford (playing Lily VDW) baby bump? Everytime she appeared of screen, i kept staring at her belly. It's huge!!! But then again, silk isn't the greatest material for a camouflage.

That episode made me think of my sweet sixteen and it made me jealous. What sixteen year old gets to wear a john teshing Missoni dress on her birthday?! Ugh. I wish i had a sweet sixteen party like Jenny minus the table dancers and the fake boujies. From what i remember, I didn't have a sweet sixteen. I remember just coming back from school, eating dinner with my parents and brothers and blowing the candle on my mini fruit cake. Sad, much? Yeah, but then again, sixteen was also the time when i went through a lot of stuff. So it's not worth remembering.

I've come to realize that GG is making want a lot of things and those things just aren't obtainable for a low-wage part time worker like myself. For me it's a big time guilty pleasure. I think i spend more time browsing on retailing/designers websites that i do with Twilight (i always get my daily vampire scoops). Oh well, as desirable those things are, it would be a long time til i actually earn enough money to buy them. Yesterday, i found this amazing website that somewhat fulfilled my desires. It's called Polyvore and what you do is you get to pick out any piece of clothing and accessories that you like and you make a editorial-like collages of all those items. I played around with it all night yesterday evening and i came up with this:

The french artist in SOHO, NY

Isn't it amazing? You can click on it and it gives you the links to all the items and were to get them. I'm currently playing around and working on some other sets. I'll post some more soon. Now, before i toodle, I loveee The City (the spin off show of Whitney Port, the girl from The Hills)!!! Another guilty pleasure of mine.

Hobo hunting

The funniest thing happen this weekend. The weather was great on Saturday and for once i didn't sleep in. I woke up early that morning and had breakfast with my parents. One of my brother was working, while the other one was at his tutoring class so it was a quiet morning. Around noon my parents and i went out to do some grocery shopping. So in the car ride to the grocery store, Jai Ho by the Pussycat Dolls came up on the radio.

Mom: "What kind of song is this? It's so vulgar." (in khmer)
Me: "It's the english remake song from the movie Slumdog. You know, that indian movie we watched together."
Mom: "I know that. But why are they saying bad words?"
Me: "Huh? I don't hear bad words..."
Mom: "Wait, listen for it. See, right there at that part he's saying something bad! Shouln't they be censoring this?"
Me: "All i'm hearing is 'Jai Ho', mom."
Mom: "That's exactly what i'm saying. He's saying 'Giant H*e!' "
Me: "..."
Mom: "You see! He's saying it again. 'Giant H*eeee!!!' "
Me: *knock down*

Moving along. I got my copy of Twilight last week! Finally i'll get to watch my hobo sparkle on my TV screen. I know that i've read the books after watching the movie but the books were a bijillion times better than the movie. I guess it had to do with it being low budget and skimmed threw since the books were based on Bella's perpective. But then again, most movies don't always turn out to be like what they were in the books. They had a 3 disc collectors version at HMV but i'm content with my 2 disc one. The special features were fun to watch and i would do anything to listen to Rob talk with his English accent in the commentary part. It is drool worthy. Since i'm already talking about Twilight, the cast are in Vancouver BC and is currently filming New Moon. In Vancouver, Canada. ON MY EFFING CANADIAN GROUNDS!?! -sigh- Good thing i have a friend there. I'm having her go on a stalking expedition haha. She have reported finding the filming location but no signs of my hobo. As for the rest of the cast, she said some of them were spotted walking around downtown a few weeks back. I told her to stalk most of the coffee shoppe around dt. Maybe she'll bump into him ;)



Rob out and about around dt, Vancouver looking hot!!!



Edward Cullen comeback <3

Telenovela, anyone?

First of all, I totally suck when it comes to updating my blogger and I feel really guilty. I log in here often to read the updates of other bloggers but i can't seem to find the time to update mine. On one hand, i'm consistently running around, going to work and school. I'm also trying to spend some quality time with the family, which i've omitted the past few years. However, those who really knows me knows that I procastinate on most parts. -sigh- My mom is right. How am i suppose to find a husband if i keep on being a lazyball like i am right now? Big time fail!

Anyways.

I've been clued to my TV screen for the past few weeks it's ridiculous! Since my satellite dish died on us a month ago and we don't have cable anymore, my mom has been making me watch thai soap operas with her on DVD. Back in high school i used to be obsess with this. I would go to the "khmer vdo store" - which is basically someone's house- and rent videocassettes of dubbed thai dramas. But then, like everyone, i got swept in the hallyu wave. It wasn't until recently (dead satellite dish, nada cable, the lonely TV...) that i decided 'Yeah, why not?'. I might discover why i was so hooked to it in the first place and drift back to my innocent youth years. What other way to start my thai drama comeback with Jai Rao (which litteraly means 'Broken Heart'), starring the one and only Ken Theeradeth (might i add is a superb, a-listed actor in Thailand). There was 5 DVDs, each containing up to 4-5 episodes. One episodes last about 60 minutes. So in all, the whole drama is around 20-25 hours.

I completely devoured the serie within a day and a half. Insane? I know. I never knew how much i would miss whatching that stuff. The bitch slapping scenes, the forceful kiss scenes and the classic attempt rape scenes. I was at awe. The fangirl in me suddenly squealed and spazzed. It also made me want more. I've been making my mom rent some more DVDs. I've listed her a bunch a dramas but most the good and recent ones aren't dubbed yet. So i watch most of them online in the original thai version. I think it's good. I'll get to practice my thai again (:

My-oh-my was this week Gossip Girl episode hot or what?! It's about time they're returning back to their basics! The other episodes were so mediocre ever since Bart Bass passed away and Chuck -sigh my Chuck- went downhill. The Humphrey teacherpet-sex-in-the-wardrobe-closet in last week episode? o_O Come on, Josh Schwartz! You can make dirty more pleasant to watch than that and how thankful i am you did in this week episode. Leighton Meester totally delivered! I love how she portrays Blair Waldorf in the most evil-conceited-bitchy way. Though we did get to see a little bit of her softer side in the past episodes, but post-Yale Blair, i like it. Dorota yelling in Polish also made my evening; double the like! The only thing i didn't like was seeing Chuck vunerable and being turned away. He didn't even wear purple this week!!! T__T I can't wait til next week. Seriously. Little J sweet sixteen disaster, redemption in the form of Blair + Nate + Chuck + Vanessa triangle (or a square?) and Chuck wearing purple (oh he better be!). Everything old is indeed new again.


Before i go, I bought myself the April issue of GQ last week. My hobo cleaned himself up and is currently gracing their cover! I'm dazzled. He's simply gorgeous. And yes, i got the Twilight DVD. I shall spazz about it in my next post. I've writen enough for today.
