WTF?!!???

Richard Gomez for Senator? WTF??!!?? Of all the local showbiz personalities, I abhor him the most.Tactless airhead who enjoys pretending he is knowledgeable and arrogant enough to voice out his puny opinions on national television. And now he has the gall to run for senator? I dare not ask what his qualifications are ( I saw his teary plea for votes in S-files where he "claimed" to have been awarded something from his "illustrious" past in UP) and would not even want to ponder what his platform would be. Please...enough is enough.

Demise of demises

As I have written about it before, Studio 60 on the Sunset strip started of as a promising show which was highly antcipated but soon became derided for being too intellectual for middle America. I have never seen a single episode of "West Wing" so I did not know Aaron Sorkin's work before this show. The only good reviews that came out from this show is that Matthew Perry is "a wonderful surprise" and "has moved on from being just Chandler Bing". The impending demise of the show ( which is usually not a big deal because a lot of shows are cancelled left and right) is a big deal just because it's Sorkin's. The downward spiral of not being funny and the slant towards romantic tanglings between the characters just did not help the show. Well, NBC hopes "The Black Donnelly's" brings home the ratings bacon or else, suffer the same fate. At least Matt P and Matt L have more time to hang out now and reminisce the happier ratings they enjoyed as Chandler and Joey.

Countdown...

To quote from my niece Ana, "I can't believe it, we had to commute!!!" Well, delete the "we had to commute" part, it's already February 2007, how time flies. In less than two months, I would be going back to the Philippines. I have been in Japan 2 years 7 months and 6 days. It seems like yesterday I was boarding PAL Flight 429 bound for Fukuoka and meeting up with my senpai, Shigeto Sensei, being cramped in my little, bitty dorm room at Ryuugakusei Kaikan, my first shopping trip to Jusco, figuring out how to get to Tenjin, buying my bicycle, meeting up with fellow Pinoys, and all the rest. After all the work, now it comes to this: waiting...and it gets really boring at times.What gets me through the day now is the internet and new episodes of "Heroes" and "Grey's Anatomy". It gets to the point that you literally run out of internet pages to surf. As in...Looking on the bright side, I'll be home in 52 days...51,50,49,48....
