Right now, I just miss my Dad.

When I and my mother would disagree

To get my way I would run from her to him

He'd make me laugh just to comfort me

Then finally make me do just what my mama said

If I could steal, one final glance

One final step, one final dance with him

I'd play a song that would never ever end

'Cause I'd love love love to dance with my father again

The (i)Phone problem.

It hasn't even been a year since I bought my Blackberry Bold 9000 and already, I'm feeling tempted to switch to the iPhone. I checked into my AT&T account yesterday and found out that I'm eligible for an upgrade! Here are my choices:

If I get the 8 gig/3GS in black, it's only going to cost me $49 dollars - that can easily be taken care of. But what's the point of "upgrading" if I'm only going to settle for an older version of something? The smartest choice would have to be to get the 16 gig / iPhone 4 in white; $199 - I would need to sell my BB and iTouch for that though; I don't really care much for the latter, but I'd feel really sad if I'd have to let go of my BB ... I live for BBMs and the BB Twitter app, huhu. On the other hand, I reaaaaally, reallyyyyyy, realllllllllly want an iPhone to finally be able to Facetime & Instagram, lol.

WHAT THE F AM I GOING TO DO?!? Ipod accessories

Poopfest.

My cousin Goan and I went on a movie date yesterday (we watched Thor & Hangover II) and all we got was this stupid picture. Lolno, I know we're cute. =P

Anyway, one of the previews that was shown was Twilight's fourth installment to its horrific saga, Breaking Dawn. So, okay, I've read the books, and honestly, have loved it ... until that smegma of an author released the last one.

If you don't have any idea on what happened, or more accurately, DIDN'T happen in that last book, then let me let one of my favorite bloggers break it dawn for you:

I mean, Edward and Bella get married, they spend like 15 chapters having destructive, nearly-fatal sex. Then by some bullshit reason of 100-year-old sperm being frozen inside Edward’s cold, vampire body… he impregnates his human wife. And this anomaly of a child turns out to be eating its mother alive. 

Then somewhere between then and carrying that monster baby to term, Bella becomes this perfect vampire chick that can control her blood urges, that always-shirtless werewolf guy falls in love with her baby (which they proceed to give an unpronounceable name) and an army of boss vampires wants to kill it with fire because kid vampires are not allowed.

So they build up this epic battle throughout the whole book but IT NEVER HAPPENS because, like I said, Bella is this perfect vampire chick and her powers trump everyone else’s. But nobody REALLY cares about that anyway. All the readership cares about is the destructive, nearly-fatal sex.

So why does it have to have two movies? WHY??? It’s not like it’s anywhere near the league of Harry Potter which actually has an INTELLIGENT plot. Will part one be Breaking Dawn: Vampire Sex and part two Breaking Dawn: Labor and Delivery? WHY DON’T THEY JUST MAKE A PORNO OUT OF IT???

Edward and Bella smashing furniture, fucking each other into oblivion for the titillation of the sad moms and Bieber-loving preteens of the world. That way it can go straight to DVD.

Hey!

It has been two weeks since I last sat in front of my lappy (yesterday's post was queued). My cousins have been monopolizing my darling computer, from emailing HR's, to Skypeing with relatives from back home. We've also been running errands almost everyday so I haven't really had any time for myself; I'm only alone when I'm inside the bathroom, heh. computer cabinets

I feel like such a n00by blogger! I can't think of what to say anymore... the rest of this entry will just be pictures + little snippets. So yeah. Enjoy?

TIMES SQUARE (what's new, lol?)

 SONY WONDER LAB (it's free!)

DYLAN'S CANDY BAR!

Some people eat to live - I live to eat (lol).

My favorite moment in Philadelphia is right before we get inside the car in Mary's garage - the air isn't too cold/warm and has the quality of a spring morning ... lol, yeah right, who am I kidding? It's actually the food, the fun, and the laughter of being with the bestest friends that I enjoyed the most!

THE FOOD:

Donuts from YUM YUM!

SONIC!!! This sounds really pathetic but the only reason I was too desperate to eat here was because when I was younger and was such a fan of Paris Hilton, she and Nicole Richie worked there for the reality show.

Rita's Iced Custards! <3

FUN WITH FRIENDS: 

At the Franklin Institute! :)

While strolling along the streets <3

THE FARE THEE WELL:

No place in the world that can compare. Put your lighters in the air, everybody say yeah!

I know it's probably annoying how all I've ever done recently was talk about New York and quote Keys' Empire State of Mind. Well deal with it! I live here and I find it awesome that I do. If there was a way to skip the summer months altogether *this heat is insaaane*, this city would totally be heaven to me.

The following days look very promising though! Tomorrow, the grandfather, the favorite Aunt (Mama Gina) and the cousins (Kitisky & Goan) will finally be at the JFK International Airport. Monday's Memorial Day so we'll probably be shopping (SO MANY SALES <3) and on Tuesday, Karla's going to come over once again & she most likely will stay with us until the end of the week.

I've been on the hunt for fun stuff we could do while the family's around (no more to touristy things because they've all seen it before). So far, I've come up with mini-golfing/doing batting cages, going to the beach : Coney Island preferably, watching movies ~~under the stars, by the Hudson River~~ at Pier 63 (just like how it is in the, uh, lol, movies... may I just add that, best of all, it's free), and Six Flags (!!!). You have no idea how much this excites me! ^_^

Oh look! Photos I've never posted and almost forgot about! I LUFF YEW NORK!

Ye ole Grand Central.

The Chrysler Building.

These streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you.

I'm reaaally bad with names. And I mean really! Two weeks ago, Karla and I had the opportunity to meet & hang out with our homeland's Ambassador to the United Nations. He was formally introduced to us by Karla's cousin, Kuya Nonoy (who contacted her a few days prior their arrival so we could make dinner arrangements), but by the end of the night we both ended up calling him "Sir General"... So embarrassing! I mean, really! It's like not knowing/remembering President Obama's name - which, yes I know, is Barack!

They stayed here for a week-long convention but we only met up with them on their last night. The original plan was to eat somewhere nice in Hell's Kitchen. But we had to settle for Macy's Cellar Bar and Grill because while "Sir General" was picking up last minute gifts for his wife & daughters, he requested that we just ate at whatever dining place they had inside the mall. Apparently all he had for that day was a sandwich and seeing that it was already 7:30 pm, he was famished.

Apart from the UN headquarters and Fifth Ave, all they've ever seen was the inside of their hotel room. While eating, SG asked me what my favorite place in the city was. Without batting an eyelash, I said, "Times Square!" So that's were we took them. sensa

It feels really humbling to see 'titled' people act so ordinarily, so low profile. SG had on the biggest-stoned ring I've ever seen on a man's finger & a fancy Rolex watch but when I made him walk 8 avenues on the cold streets of Manhattan, he did so with a charming smile on his face. I just love people like that! It makes me respect them... makes me look-up to them even more. If only I can remember his name... :/
