“Felicity” shaped my teen years

The dialogue below is one of my absolute favorites. SERIOUSLY. I get so kilig everytime Ben and Felicity get together. <3 I LOVE. And Ben Covington? SWOOOOON.

*  *  *  *  *

Meghan: This is how I know Felicity still likes you. You ready?

Ben Covington: Yeah. Wha… what is it?

Meghan: Sarah McLachlan.

Ben Covington: What?

Meghan: When Felicity showed up last year, head over heels for you, Sarah McLachlan was all she listened to. If “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” wasn’t in the CD player, it was only so “Solace” could get a little airplay. I started calling it ‘Ben music’… not to her face but behind her back. But then it went away, and I thought Sarah was gone for good. I almost started celebrating. And then you showed up again. You offered Felicity this cross-country trip of a lifetime, which means I got to memorize every lyric from “Surfacing”… all 10 songs! This year started off McLachlan-heavy, until the big break-up, and then all of Felicity’s hair went away, and so did Sarah. Until you guys broke into the pool. Now maybe it was a coincidence, but guess who started to make a comeback? It was gradual, but constant, and now if you want me to, I can sing any song from “Mirrorball” which really annoys the hell out of me! So if you’re ever curious about whether Felicity has the hots for you, just check her boom box.

Ben Covington: That’s the dumbest theory I’ve ever heard.

The Day RFed Conquered the French Open

After a little Robin plucked The King of Clay from the court, he very willingly and easily gave up the title to RFed.

The Tennis Gods were smiling down on Roger that day, as he won his first French Open, matched Sampras’ 14 Grand Slams, and followed Andre Agassi’s achievement of winning all 4 Grand Slams.

Boy, oh, boy. Did he work hard for that title.

Unfazed even with this scare.

The French Kiss!

CONGRATS, RFed!
Go for 15!!!

It’s Spiderman, as told from MJ’s POV.

Very highschool kilig, well-written with
gorgeous art (as seen from the covers).

old-school Superman!
Doomsday!

WEE! XD

Okay. That is all. I just wanted to post something up here. Hihi.

There’s something about Daniel Craig…

AH. Daniel Craig. I think he’s one of the best James Bonds in a long time.
But what is it about him that makes him so… irresistible?

Let’s take a look, shall we?

He’s blonde. Ever heard of a blonde James Bond?
But he does blonde so well.
Especially when he’s all roughed up like that.

He’s not traditionally handsome.
Lines and weird angles on his face, see?
A nose that tapers off just a tad too widely.
A scrunched-up mouth. Mmm.

Is it the way he wears his suit?
Oh dear.

Perhaps it’s those piercing blue eyes?
(And the way he wears that suit, partially undone this time.)

Or maybe it’s that big errr… gun he’s packing.
HEEHEE.
Whatever it is, it works. It works really really well.
Right, girls?

Talecraft Tales

Sharkboy and I saw this contest a few weeks ago while shopping at Powerbooks. Of course, since we’re a sucker for geeky card games, we bought a box of Talecraft cards.

It’s so much fun playing this game. Being the competitive *ahem* people that we are, we go crazy trying to top each other’s stories.

Anyway, Sharkboy got this brilliant story in his mind about a vampire without his fangs, and he decided to submit his story as his entry for the contest. He got in as a finalist, and proceeded to present his story yesterday at Powerbooks.

I wasn’t able to watch him, though. =( My family and I had to visit Ima at the cemetery to avoid the All Souls’ Day rush next weekend. I arrived at Powerbooks, about an hour late. EEK. Sorry Sharkboy. =(

Sharkboy got into the top 5 and participated in the on-the-spot story-telling stage. Though he didn’t win the first prize, judges approached him at the end of the contest and complimented him on his Fangless Vampire story.

So… being the proud Whoopsy that I am, I am bragging and gushing over his work. It’s really well-written, using rhymes as his device. So the whole story has this lyrical, almost sing-songsy quality to it. The story itself of the Fangless Vampire is funny but Sharkboy made it even funnier with his use of this device. In the end, it came out, a little ironic, very funny, witty and heart-warming (actually, very much how Sharkboy is. HEE.)

This isn’t the first time he’s used this device. He also used this when he wrote another short story for me on my birthday. That wasn’t ironic, that was very very sweet. =)

ANYWAY. Enough with my melting gushy, mushiness.

The news HERE. And Sharkboy’s story HERE. YAYS!

Note: We have a certain aversion to vampires these days, thanks mainly to Edward Cullen’s ismoot-iswabe brooding that’s winning everyone’s hearts. So we would always talk about creating a vampire character that defied all the brooding, emo qualities of vampires as we know them. This is probably Sharkboy’s attempt to come up with one. =) I must say, this Fangless Vampire has endeared itself to me. Hehe.

Who ordered the Cute Value Meal???

FINALLY, Roger.

After a truly bad year of lopsided losses
and heartbreaking near-wins,
finally, a Grand Slam!

Congratulations, Joaquin Phoenix FED.

Photo Dump: 2nd Philippine International Motor Show

Long-overdue but I’m posting anyways.

Compared to last year, the set-up of the cars weren’t as crowded. But it lacked the wow factor that I felt last year. Maybe because I’ve seen most cars already from the autoshow last summer. Plus, since we went on the last day, there were too many people to get clear shots of the cars. Sigh. Oh wellz. Next time, we’ll come early.

Anyway, here are some of my favorite photos.

Ready… Set… Go!

The Limited Edition Vios is cool (but red-hot).

Some ethnic beats from the Honda Jazz section
No photo of the Honda Jazz – there were too many people.

Understated luxury. Love this BMW.

The cute Suzuki Swift!
The poor man’s Mini Cooper. Haha

YAY for more Hybrid cars!
This reminds me of Malibu Barbie!

GM’s set-up is my favorite.
Lookie! Almost like a game show set. Hihi.

Ironman’s wheels – the Audi R8 (WOW)

Good thing we got decent pictures of the R8,
despite Audi’s snotty (and unecessarily rude) crew.*

I like this set-up. It’s not too garishly made and I like the
red paint done in matte texture.

A happy balloon! I couldn’t resist. Hehe

Kia went all-out.
It’s cool to see such a clean engine!

Crash Test Dummies
The Volvo mascot and Enzo with his appropriately-themed environmental shirt.

*  *  *

* Imagine being awed and excited at seeing such a cool car (Audi R8), and then having a snooty Audi crew tell you to back off in a rude way (“Psst, tabi!”) Well, excuuuuuse me. Don’t we even deserve a ‘Ma’am’ or ‘Sir’ and a polite “Please be careful around the car”? Tsk. Such a turn-off.

Shiloh VS. Suri: Who ya got?

Are you kidding me?
CUTEST.
FACEOFF.
EVER.

Leave it to the tabloids to describe Shiloh as a poor girl. (Hand-me-downs? Yeah right.)
AND their “differences” remind me of Blair’s and Serena’s. Haha

Pero ang KAYUUUUUUUT diba?
Good morning

Huwaw. 0__o

Mike brought his collection of Transformers to show and tell to Enzo and the kids last Sunday. OH WOW. I still get boggle-eyed whenever I see his collection all together in one place, transformed or otherwise. We had a mini-photoshoot, albeit with a kikay, homey curtain backdrop. HAHAHAHA. Here are some photos. =)

Ang powgee!

Old skool Bumblebee

Bee VS. Bee

Autobots, roll out!
