I will rant

I noticed that my blog entries this year revolve around my efforts of losing weight, and after 7 months of ranting that dream is still an unfulfilled wish. In January, my weight was 150 lbs, and the last time I checked it was 148. God, that's just like, 2 cups of rice subtracted.

I tried out this GM diet wherein you're supposed to eat a certain food group per day. Day 1 all fruits, Day 2 all veggies, Day 3 a mix, and so on. I was only successful on the first day. Tuesday I asked BB to munch on oil and grease and fats with me @ Jollibee. Diet fail, I know.

I know I'm not trying enough though. It's so hard to let go of those pleasurable tastes. In the following weeks, I think I will be able to. I'm crossing fingers.

One thing I love about Fort Bonifacio is its chichiness. Emerging relaxation places of the well-off abound in the area. Lately BB and I have become addicted to frozen yogurt. I discovered this resto called Yogurt Nation, which is like, a block away from my building.

Here's my dirty design. Haha. It's a DIY kind of store, and a bit pricey. This one was charged around 300 bucks I think. Taste-wise, it's a less sour than White Hat, and a less sweet version of Tutti Frutti. I think this Froyo fad is not worth it though. I will not exchange any pricey, so-called healthy yogurt to the humble Jollibee sundae or Mc Flurry.

Last weekend, I, Mikee and Sig went to Trinoma. We watched Eclipse and I introduced them to BB. I was very elated. Going out with high school friends just to chill out had become very rare, and I so missed all the stories, fun, and tsismis.

Mikee and the humongous pizza. He ate 1/3 of it i think, and look at his figure. Lucky metabolistic bitch.



One good news about work is that the HR already declared my paperless regularization, and my privilege to have 12 days of leave. Yeehaw. I will definitely fly abroad before the year ends.

How Are You?

Since it's nearly a month since my last blog post, let's make it easy through bullets and snippets:

June 13: Kristina's Wedding. The venue was nice. San Agustin Church in Intramuros, and a reception hall called Concepcion. Caught up with high school barkada, who I believe are few of my true, real friends.

Ang taba, taba, taba, ko.

June 18: UP DECL Day. Tech invited me to attend the 100th foundation day of ehem, ehem UP Department of English and Comparative Literature. Saw some of my fave professors, including Sir Butch D(CL 111), Mam Odine D (CL 154, 147), and my so-called Mom, Mam Preachy L (CL 183, 199, 200).

I love Mam O. She taught me to always speak with sense.

June 26: Yay! It's the Legally Blonde Day @ the Meralco Theater.

I love Laura Bell Bundy. SHE IS THE ELLE WOODS. I just don't get it why people keep on lambasting the MANILA VERSION of LEGALLY BLONDE. The show was amazing. Yeah, there were no automatically appearing/disappearing Delta Nu house, staircase, mall, Harvard, prison, etc, but the set was designed as innovatively as possible. There was this circular window that indicated the place they're in (Palm trees if in California, cells if in prison, window glass if in Pollette's salon), and I think that was nice.

Laura Bell's interpretation of Elle Woods was incomparable. But I think Nikki Gil tried hard to be at par with how Laura did. "So Much Better" was sung with restraint and passion, and so were "Chip on My Shoulder," "What You Want," and "Legally Blonde Reprise".

Nyoy's voice was beautiful as always, and I believe critics don't like him more because of his lack of chemistry with Nikki than his performance. Guji was a tame version of Warner. He did not come as naughty and as bonehead of the Broadway actor. Cris Villonco as Vivian was good. She spoke with about 90% American accent throughout the show.

Geneva was hot, and definitely she gave justice to Brooke's character. "Whipped Into Shaped" was sung in a sexy, raspy voice. If they hired Gretchen Barretto as planned the performance would suck.

Jinky Lamanzares as Pollette rocked. She was not as super-energetic and loud as the Broadway Pollette but she was funny nevertheless. Her Kyle, Calvin Millado, was okay. He did not look sexy. He was more of a chub! Jett Pangan looked as evil as Broadway's Callahan, and I think his performance was one of the show's best highlights.

The Delta Nu girls were excellent. They just have to be careful with their wireless mikes! OMG they rocked!

I'm not a stylist, but the I think the costumes were acceptable, and not as cheap as how detractors describe them. The clothes actually were very faithful to those shown in the Broadway. I think those criticizing fags were just being bitter, colonial, orthodox, etc. God, it's like they're expecting clothes from Prada or LV or something.

Okay, the post has become a review. Haha. Sorry. Can't get over the Mania!

Omigod you guys! I'll watch this again, I promise!

PS, OINK mode:

Since I was more than blissful in watching the play, my heart did not avoid to pig out. Bob and I drove to Mall of Asia and ate at Yellow Cab. We had all these, just for the two of us.

And after this I have to whip it, whip it, whip it good @ the gym. Or else Brooke Wyndham will call me a heifer!
