Never laughed that hard since forever

John Lloyd and Sarah’s new movie was so so so funny! I am still smiling an hour after watching it. It was my first time to see John Lloyd on the big screen. Pogi nya pag nakashades!!! And Sarah, I have a serious question. Why were you still wearing a wig on the scene where you had long hair? I don’t get it. Maybe Laida’s role is meant to have crappy hair? The wig was distracting, but what was more distracting was Sarah’s American accent! It was more funny than distracting though! We kept laughing throughout!

The film has its faults but I enjoyed it too much to dwell on it. The film’s faults, though not intentional, was what made the movie funny. :-P

Everybody’s gotta watch this. If you don’t like it, or at least find some scenes funny, I don’t think you have a heart. Be like me and have an open mind. Push away the prejudice of watching Filipino films and give It Takes A Man and A Woman the chance it deserves. It deserves to make you happy :-)

John Mayer is not fugly

Around 10 years ago, I saw a show on MTV, and the whole episode was dedicated to explaining why John Mayer was fugly. Back then, I didn’t know what fugly meant, so I watched the whole show and found it meant fucking ugly.

I can’t remember the specifics, but the show really dissected John’s looks to justify he was fugly. His eyes, ears, nose, and all the whatnot. I was horrified, of course, because I liked John back then already. Especially when I first heard Back To You, of which if I remember correctly, was a song on a movie soundtrack back then. A Cameron Diaz movie, I think.

Maybe John saw the show and wanted to prove them wrong. Maybe he’s thinking, “Who’s laughing now, huh?”

Here’s the partial list of proof:

1. Jennifer Love Hewitt(John wrote Your Body is a Wonderland for her)
2. Jessica Simpson
3. JENNIFER ANISTON
4. Katy Perry

Is it acceptable to put Taylor Swift in the list? Will adding TSwizzle strengthen the argument proving John Mayer is not fugly?

Anyway, I know I missed a lot of girls on the list, but they’re the ones I remember.

Bikram Yoga for a First Timer

5 minutes before class starts, having difficulty setting up my yoga mat peacefully.

“They’re all quiet, how can I keep myself from making this much noise?”

5 minutes in, doing breathing exercise.

“Why am I sweating this much this early??”

30 minutes in, feeling light headed and starting to feel deaf.

“This is no joke. I’d rather pole dance.”

50 minutes in, feeling nauseous and on the verge of vomiting on an empty stomach.

“Why am I torturing myself??? Why why why???”

70 minutes in, still feeling light headed, sweating bucket loads.

“Is it too embarassing if I just lie down right now. I can really use the rest. I wanna sleep.”

5 minutes before class ends, doing the last breathing exercise.

“I like this. The class wasn’t so bad.”

Class ends, picking up my yoga mat, towel, and water bottle.

“I wonder if they have class tomorrow. I’m definitely coming back.”

NYR #2: Blog

It’s the 9th of January and I thought of something to add to my 2013 resolutions. Is it a bit late? Hanywayyy, the new resolution is to blog. More specifically (to remove the pressure of blogging), I am resolving to write down my thoughts somewhere, anywhere, since I don’t keep a real journal/planner.

Well, I do have a barely used Moleskine at home, but I don’t bother bringing it everyday because we can’t bring any printed materials inside our office. But I digress. (LOL I feel guilty for using that phrase, but I can’t resist, I read it everywhere.)

I am resolving to write more this year, to develop my writing skills. See, I have always sucked at writing because it is not one of my natural talents. Since I love to read, I often find myself writing or even thinking using the voice of my at-the-moment favorite writer. No matter how I hate doing it, it’s hard to stop because I do it subconciously.

So now, I want to have my own writing voice. By practicing, and commiting to write down all the crazy ramblings in my head.

Are you ready to read all the things I have to say? Ready to see how I ramble on about anything and everything? How I change from one topic to the next without realizing it? How I love to talk about myself?? Haha I probably have I reader left by now (thanks hun!).

Anyway, that’s about it for now. Hope to see you again in my next post. I promise to get better! Thanks for reading!!!

xx,
