Blogsphere and Beyond
How do I start this post, many days after missing from blogsphere? Hmmm, here’s the best way I guess…. DAMN, I MISSED MY BLOG!
The Holy Week for me was truly a time for (forced) penance and reflection. After a whole day of station of the Cross and Bisita Iglesia and with confessions and masses attended, my parents whisked me and my brother off to Tagaytay for some “family bonding” time which ended up being sleep all day and pig out time. I also gave up drinking coke for the Holy Week (SOB!) so for a whole week, meals felt incomplete and unsatisfying.
While the whole Tagaytay vacation was not a total loss since I managed to add more pages to the story I’m working on– going back to work last Tuesday drove me nuts because so much work piled up. So two days later now, I’ve managed to finish everything so I can write once more. Hooray!
So what’s new with me?
1. I did a horror movie marathon Black Saturday. I saw The Grudge 1 & 2. I caught the SAW movies, The Eye, and Ring 0. Does Dead or Alive the movie belong to the horror genre? Because geez, I was ready to scream at the endless booty shots!
2. I have an article up at inquirerblogger.net’s Hackenslash site. What’s it about? ANIME! Do check it out at http://inquirerbloggers.net/hackenslash/2007/04/11/cosplay-heaven-at-ozine-fest-07 . Now that’s one of the things keeping me busy.
3. My story for Animax Awards is officially titled “YUME ONNA”. My best friend and Simon-ish best friend is reading it. His comment almost made me cry (in joy & frustration over being woken up) when it came in at 1:52 AM, “I love it! Waaaaah! Yuel is so annoyingly kawaii (cute)! Pero ang ganda joan! Bilis! Can’t wait!” Now that is music to my ears! Any proofreaders out there? That’s another thing keeping me busy.
4. I’ll be watching 300 for the 4th time this Friday. Kyaaaaaaaaaah! Ay, mali pala! Awhoo! Awhoo! Awhoo!
5. I broke my dating abstinence rule this week. In my decision to re-enter the crazy world of dating, Jojo’s song “How To Touch A Girl” has been playing like crazy over and over in my mind. I really do hope I find someone who knows how to touch a girl’s heart. Hehehe. ^_^

I really thought your vacation was extended Joan, welcome back!!
oh well my Holy week was different and I had my first. My first time to eat pork, meat, chicken,hehehehe. And I only went to church once, only on Easter Sunday. I spent the 3days penance watching t.v and dvd’s, jeeez
I love to watch horror/suspense/thriller movies. I like to scare myself,hehehe. Diba, Dead or alive is an action film?
I’m not really an anime fanatic, pero noong magcustome party kami , isa sa mga choices ko was an anime character.
magEB na kasi kayo no Kurokuro,hehehe

Hi Cat! Pano ulit mag-post ng youtube vid sa wordpress? Hehe, kulit. ^_^
Super addict kaya ako sa scary movies! love it! Hirap nga lang maghatak ng kasama– kahit free tickets pa sya sa g4 ha! Best friend ko lang nakakasama ko manonood ng scary movies pero pag may katapat na chick flick, wala na, sa chick flick na yung pera namin. Nood tayo minsan! Kahit tayong mga bloggers tapos iblog natin mga reaction ng kasama natin.
Nyahahaha!

Holy Week? Is that something to do with your religion? ‘Cause I know that for us the last religion related … thing *waves arms/hands to fulfill the lack of words* was Easter…
I’ve never watched The Grudge before, believe it or not, and seriously, that’s a mass of loss right there for a horror movie fan like me. But my mom hates horror movies, and therefore, she screams at little old me whenever she sees me watching one. Bleh.
“Yume Onna” desu ka?…If I remembered correctly, it should mean “Dream Girl” or something, right? Oh I do hope you’ll win the contest, Joan-san! ^_^ Best wishes~!
