ows?

Papunta kami kanina sa binyag ni Matthew nang bumalandra sa paningin ko ang billboard ni Jasmine Trias. Bigla ko tuloy naalala si Sharon Galvez, yung Pinay na pinalad na makapasok sa American Idol auditions.

I mentioned the bit to my friends. It turned out na huli na pala ako sa balita. Sabi sa akin ng mga kaibigan ko, singer daw ang Sharon na'to sa grupong Smokey Mountain dati.

Kaya pala sobrang pamilyar sa akin ang mukha niya.

Wala lang.

oo nga pala, the images you see here were stolen borrowed from bibeduck

oh shoot!

me thinks me is going to exceed the allotted word count again...

anticipated distraction

I was on the phone with a fellow writer yesterday and we got to talking about our respective slumps. I mentioned to her that among my multitude of reasons is that I'm too easily distracted.

Later, I discovered that what I said would prove to be prophetic.

It was a few minutes after I sat down in front of my PC for my after dinner session with my MS that I heard Ryan Seacrest's voice echoing all over the place. The culprit: my favorite nephew, Andre. His TV was on full blast.

I don't know what it is about American Idol that's got me fascinated. Hindi naman ako Amerikano, paki ko ba sa idol nila. I dunno. I guess I just find it entertaining to watch.

So anyways, I was itching to shut down my PC and switch on the TV instead. But I resisted the urge...believe you me, I... r-e-s-i-s-t-e-d! I kept reminding myself that I need to submit my MS by Saturday.

An hour and a half later, with nothing to show for it except a couple of sentences, I finally caved in. One minute I was staring blankly at the PC monitor, the next I was laughing my heart out in front of the TV screen. Concentration was next to impossible especially as I kept hearing the show from Andre's room.

Today, I'm typing this blog because again I find myself unable to concentrate on my MS. It's a little after three and the next installment of AI will be aired direct off satellite at four...

big mac, anyone?

And now for a dose of ironic news...

January 17, 2005. Charlie Bell dies from colorectal cancer. He was forty-four years old.

If you're wondering who the heck is Charlie Bell? Wonder no more. He's the former CEO of one of the world's biggest fast food giants, McDonalds. He was elected to take the place of James Cantalupo soon after Cantalupo died suddenly of a heart attack in April 2004.
