Heels or no Heels??!


Oh my gosh, I can't imagine the pain these stars are willing to go through just to get noticed!

And how does Posh stand? Does she have to lean on David all the time?

Chris Tiu is not human!


Ok, ok, I know I had a previous post where I was wondering if Chris Tiu was gay. But after I read an article (& more, since it got me interested so I googled more) about him I want to redeem myself. I mean, I don't care anymore what his gender is. Besides, even if he is gay I don't think he'd ever practice it, as I've read, he's a very religious guy. And if you know everything about him (& you probably do 'coz I'm delayed sa balita, especially in local showbiz & basketball, 2 topics I don't really care about), you probably really wouldn't mind his sexuality, considering all that he is about.

Ok, the title, the title of this post is not a negative ok? I mean it in a positive way, like, he's not like the rest of us. Consider all these stuffs I've read about him:

1. He graduated Management Engineering in 2007 (ok, in another article I read it was Management Economics, but it doesn't really matter does it? I think --- though I'm not really sure --- these are 'hard' courses in Ateneo --- although I know someone na Management Eco grad dun who worked in a callcenter 'coz he can't find another job, anyways, this is already 'too much' for a 'typical' baller, I mean, I know from LaSalle, since I went there in college, I did have a barkada who has a baller for a bf, she told she's not really looking into any future w/ him, because he doesn't plan on graduating, & all the ballers, she said, are like that, when they are finished playing in the UAAP, they'll just drop out of school, they have no intention of finishing, I know as well as I've had classmates who are ballers --- basket players --- & they rarely show up in class, once in a blue moon lang...I also had close friends na UAAP players --- o diba, dami ko friends pero I still don't watch basket --- & same din, they really don't take their studies seriously --- so Chris Tiu is definitely a cut above the rest --- or are Ateneans just like that?)

2. He is currently finishing his second major in Applied Math and Finance, with a minor in Chinese Studies (ok, so he is on his 2nd course! My gosh, I'm not really sure as well if mahirap itong course na toh but I heard that BS Math in LaSalle is hard, & they get really good jobs afterwards, I also heard other Ateneo players graduate in college & take MBA to continue playing for the UAAP --- I heard this from news as well as from classmates in Ateneo --- I took MBA there, although 'chicken' lang talaga MBA dun, hahaha! Anyways, Chris Tiu is different kc nga he's on his 2nd course, & of course, so much different from other basket players!)

3. He was elected barangay kagawad in Urdaneta Village, Makati City after his term as Sangguniang Kabataan chairman for five years. (oh my gosh, another thing he's doing w/ his life, where does he find the time? 'yung ibang basket players nga they will justify their shortcomings on academics, or on dropping out of school, because of basket, pero this guy, super dami & he can handle!)

4. He has a business called Chinky Chicken, which sells rice chicken meals in Ateneo and neighboring Miriam College campus. (I'm speechless!)

5. He plans to pursue his MBA abroad and start his own restaurant business. (Ok now this is the biggest plus for me, his life does not revolve around basketball, also read he's not yet decided on pursuing the PBA because it's only temporary, so smart! Unlike others who think that basket is their world! He knows what's important!)

6. He is working on a foundation together with Ateneo’s Center for Education Development, to provide scholarships and help schools set up their curriculum. (ok, I'm not a fan of charity except for those helping educate children --- because for me charity is 'enabling' yung katamaran or other negative na pag-uugali ng mga tao, but, if it's for children, & education, I'm all for it, education is the foundation of a good future)

Ayan, syempre busy pa sya sa ibang bagay like his blog & hosting job, but his story inspires me, as in super good role model sya, buti na lang nagchampion sila at sumikat sya!

Good luck Chris! When I read about you sabi ko I wanted to meet you at hingan ka ng advise sa mga problema ko sa buhay, haha! I don't have a crush on you (kc type ko mga maiitim at mga tamad mag-aral, hahaha!) but sana pag nagkaanak ako katulad mu :) Medyo nadepress din ako kc parang compared to Chris sinasayang ko ang buhay & talents na binigay ni Lord, wala akong ginawa kundi matulog! Hahaha! At plan ko pala na pag may anak na 'ko d ako papayag mag-basket sya, dapat concentrate sa studies (pangarap ko magkaron ng mga anak na super mag-excel sa academics & makapag-aral sa Ivy League schools or MIT! --- wala nga lang akong pang-tuition!), pero I realized 'nasa tao talaga un' baka sabihan pa ko ng anak ko "anong akala mu sakin mommy, bobs? kaya ko un ipagsabay no!", ok basta dapat dean's lister sya at hindi walang kwenta ang course (like sports & recreation management??? hahaha!)

Twilight vs. Harry Potter


I recently found out that the lead man of twilight was also in a Harry Potter movie. And guess who asked me? My mum! She asked me which character he was on HP. I was surprised & said, "oh, the one that died (you know, Cedrick Diggory)." Now, after a day of knowing, I'm getting more & more interested w/ this guy & I dunno why. I wasn't excited to see the movie, you know, I don't like scary movies. I wouldn't want to go through w/ the discomfort of getting scared at night & not being able to sleep! But now, I dunno. I really dunno. I never liked him in the HP movie either. I thought he was boring. I mean, he looks 'perfect' but, I don't really like guys like that. I was 'gaga' over the guy who played Viktor Krum (I like bad boy types & 'kalbo' types). Hey, I'd even take Harry Potter himself over such a boring Mr. Perfect.

Wala lang...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movie

Ok, the latest HP movie was supposed to be shown today (at least in the U.S.) but producers decided to move again to...July!!! WTF!

Brian Gorrell on Urban Dictionary


From Urban Dictionary.

I don't really agree w/ the meaning. Should be more like:

1. To be a victim of a social-climbing, jealous gay
2. To be a victim of an ex who can't get over
3. To be a victim of someone who's a fame-whore

Paris & Benji Madden Split

So Paris & Benji have finally split. No surprise. Paris must be over her phase of wanting the twin of her bff's man. She must be over her fantasy of being a loyal partner to a simple guy. She just can't go to where Nicole is now. Nicole's party days are over, she's becoming more & more like a real mum, wife...Paris is now over that desire, moving on to the next.

No surprise here. Paris was recently seen flirting w/ one of her ex's Stavros.

Scared of Happiness


Whatever happened to Alicia Silverstone???

Well, here she is now folks. Looking more like she's living on the streets than ever!

Remember when she was the 'it' girl right after the Clueless movie? Well, she didn't handle fame very well did she?

She seems to be weird based on her interviews, her opinions, etc.. I guess that brings a person down, I guess, in society's standards. Sometimes some people are just plain psychos. Oh no, I'm not just talking about her but about myself as well. There are times when life just seems so perfect, when you just have everything, & yet, it bores you out of your wits! I remember days when I 'leave' the most popular barkada in school just because I felt like it. You know, when you have it all, you just want to push that 'all' away. Maybe some people are just like that. I hope I've already changed though.

Already seen 'The Women'? Meg Ryan's character said something like "I believe we can have it all but the question is, do we want it all? Not me." To w/c Anette Bening's character agreed (ok, I'm too lazy to check if her name is spelled correctly ok???). Anyways, something like, people who are too scared of success, I dunno. Just some thoughts...
