never too late

Posted on by

Well, I figure that it’s never too late to do the Friday Five… so here goes.

What’s your favorite animal? Dogs (little ones), specifically lhasa apsos. They’re so adorable.

What pets have you had in your lifetime? I’ve only had one dog that my aunt gave me for my 9th birthday. It was a lhasa apso and I named him Tramp, after the dog in the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp. But I called him Wampy. I miss him. ::sniff::

Is there any specific pet that you’ve wanted but never had? Why? Nope. My dog was the only pet I ever wanted.

Are you allergic to any animals? I think I’m allergic to cats. In college, my roommate had a cat and occasionally, when it would sleep on my bed or cuddle with me, I would get really itchy. It didn’t happen all the time though.

Do you have any ‘pet’ pet peeves (your pets or others’)? I hate when pets leave bits and pieces of their food all over the place. Ugh.

britney baby!

Britney tickets go on sale this Sunday! Yay! 😀 Yes, I’m a fan – and no, I’m not ashamed. I’m going to get in line with all the 12-year old girls and buy my tickets – with PRIDE. I can’t believe I’m so giddy. It’s that damn teeny-bopper inside me.

it’s official

I am now a huge Moulin Rouge fan. I just bought the DVD over the weekend and I finally got the chance to watch it today — and I just fell in love with the movie. I saw it in the theatre last June but I didn’t connect with the emotions the way I did today. ::sigh:: What a great movie — I have the soundtrack on repeat now. 😀 How wonderful life is now you’re in the world…

home sweet home

Another Friday, another Friday Five…

What makes you homesick? When I talk to my cousins or friends and they just go on and on about what I’ve missed — I always feel so bad for not being there for all those moments, big or small.

Where is “home” for you? Is it where you are living now, or somewhere else? I live in the Bay Area (CA) right now — I kind of just settled here after finishing college at UC Berkeley. But what I call “home home” is where my dad lives in sunny Southern California.

What makes it home for you? People? Things? A little bit of both. Going back to Southern CA is great cause it really *feels* like home when I’m with my family. At the same time, though, I get really sentimental looking at trinkets and things that remind me of home or a specific time in my life.

Where is the furthest you’ve been from home? 6979 miles — that’s the distance from here to the Philippines. Ive also been to Europe and other parts of Asia, but I *think* the Philippines is the farthest. ::shrugs::

What are your plans for this weekend? Nothing! I’m just going to enjoy the fact that I am no longer going to have a 6-day work week now that I’ve quit my part-time job at Abercrombie and Fitch.

thanks joy! :)

I was having a pretty “blah” day and then I get an email from Joy with a link to her bee-yoo-ti-ful new Katie Holmes wallpaper. Thanks for thinking of me. *hugs*

I have to get my hands on the Rollingstone magazine — I saw one today at a newstand near my work but *of course,* I didn’t have any money. Argh. Anyway, the entire article is at Rollingstone.com — it’s a fun read. It totally cemented my weird crush on Michael Rosenbaum. ::drool:: He’s such a riot. I especially loved this:

“Don’t you remember anything about the accident?” Rosenbaum asks Welling.
“I remember pulling you out,” says Welling. “That’s all.”
“You sure you don’t remember anything?” asks Rosenbaum. He pauses. He lifts an eyebrow. Finally displaying his own intuitive feel for the zeitgeist, he says, “My ass was sore afterward. You sure you didn’t give me a superfuck?”

BWAH! Love it.

smallville rocks the house!

I’m feeling a bit better today — thanks and huge *hugs* to everyone who wished me well. You guys are the best!

Rollingstone magazine is featuring Kristin Kreuk, Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum, otherwise known as Lana, Clark and Lex from Smallville, in their latest issue, which should hit newstands this Friday. The pictures that are included with the article are *amazing.* They’re all so cute together. 🙂

blah – i’m sick

Blah — I’m sick. 🙁

I had a slight fever yesterday so I spent pretty much the entire night in bed after I returned home from work. *sigh* Being sick sucks.
To make matters worse, *N Sync is here in concert tomorrow (well, technically today cause it’s past midnight) and I’m not going. ::sobs:: The past 2 times they’ve come to Oakland, I’VE been there… I even flew to Las Vegas to see them during one of their arena tours. *I was die hard.* But now, I’m just broke. Argh.

BtVS was pretty good tonight… I loved all the angst and pained looks between Buffy and Spike. ::sigh:: They could have been great. And OMG, I feel so *horrible* for Anya — weird though, cause I’ve never felt anything for her before. Sure, I liked her — she’s funny and candid but I always thought of her as more of a peripheral character. ::shrugs:: But still, she must be hurting.

josh hartnett weekend

Posted on by

So I went to see the new Josh Hartnett movie last Friday (“40 Days and 40 Nights”) — it was a lot better than I expected. It was pretty funny, if even a bit corny and a LOT raunchy. But whatever… it’s Josh Hartnett baby! 😀

On Saturday night, Rob and I rented “O,” which I found to be a really amazing movie. Sure it’s violent and disturbing and scary, but I think it says a lot about the power of manipulation and the control that jealousy has over people. Julia Stiles, Mekhi Phifer and Josh Hartnett (again!) were phenomenal in their roles — JH especially. His character was a sharp contrast from the “nice guy” roles he’s done in the past. It’s not a movie that you’d want to see over and over again but it’s definitely worth at least one viewing.

it’s finally friday!

Friday means Friday Five time! 🙂

What’s your favorite vacation spot? I really love Hawaii… the lifestyle is laid back, the scenery is damn gorgeous, the people are friendly, and the weather is warm. Can’t beat that.

Where do you consider to be the biggest hell-hole on earth? Umm… when you’re driving between Southern CA and Northern CA, there’s a stretch of land that’s just littered with cows- all of them awaiting their torture (I guess- I just made that up). Anyway, the stench is truly disgusting.

What would be your dream vacation? Traveling for months all around Europe would be a dream. After my high school graduation, I went with my family on a month long tour of the major cities in Europe- London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam… but I want to see it *all.* I’d love to see the less popular locales (but definitely just as rich in beauty and history) like Austria, Germany, Spain and Greece.

If you could go on a road-trip with anyone, who would it be and why? I’d love to go with my long-time friends (since grade school!) Carmen and Robyn. They’re the two people that I feel like I’ve been a horrible friend to… I’m just bad at keeping in touch in general. We all went to different schools for college and I let the distance get between us. *sigh* Plus, I just saw the Britney Spears movie “Crossroads,” which is about 3 girls who rekindled their friendship after drifting apart in high school so I’m a bit on the nostalgic side right now… if you either of you are reading this, I miss you! ::muah::

What are your plans for this weekend? Rob said he would take me to see “40 Days and 40 Nights.” 😀 Josh Hartnett, baby! Other than that, probably cleaning my apartment. Wow, the action in my life is NON STOP. ::note the sarcasm::

Tuesday Night TV

Posted on by

Just got done watching Tuesday Night TV! 😀 Good TV tonight… well, with the exception of Buffy. I couldn’t really get into the episode because of the BAD ACTING! Maybe I was just annoyed because I love Spike and he showed his stupid side with that whole doctor crap. ::rolleyes:: Or MAYBE Riley and Sam really *are* cardboard cutouts of REAL people! ::sigh:: I was looking forward to seeing Riley again (believe it or not, I have a soft spot for the guy) but he had to hit me over the head with his monotone voice and sheer lack of emotion. I don’t remember him being that… boring. ::looks around:: But I have to admit, he reeled me in when he was telling Buffy that she was his first love. I was always sad that those two never had any real closure. And the ending… I call myself a Buffy/Spike shipper but I can’t help but think that they’re better off apart. I wish the writers had done something different with them… they had so much potential.

For a show that is in serious danger of being cancelled, Roswell was really good… any Dreamer will love this episode. It’s not really a romantic episode but you get a real sense of the amazing connection that Max and Liz share. From the flashes of Liz that Max kept seeing as he was in Clayton’s body to the end when Liz brings back Max– these two showed me that what they have, their love (“I have to go to her. She’s the love of my life.”), is something worth fighting for. An added bonus– all the Liz/Maria scenes. My favorite quote of the episode is a piece of dialogue between them– Liz: “Do you know you’re like the most specialest person in the world to me?” Maria: “Right back at ya.” 🙂 I love them.

Smallville’s latest episode was also pretty exciting– I didn’t care too much about the Whitney/robbers storyline as much as I liked all the character interaction. I can never get enough of Clark and Lex (it’s just a huge plus that they’re both yummy!). Lex made me go “Aww!” when he said “I didn’t come here for the disk. I came here to help out a friend”– or something like that. I don’t remember the exact quote. heh. I also loved the Lex/Lana scene at the end… Lex hit the nail right on the head when he said “I think this is the beginning of an interesting partnership.” It is indeed.
