While people in Pinas are still hung up on American Idol, I have my own favorite reality-TV-competition that I watch religiously: MTV's America's Best Dance Crew.
For me, there is nothing better than seeing awesome choreography executed perfectly...by good looking people. This show is so much better than MTV's first attempt in bringing dance on TV: The Wade R0bson Project. That show sucked (for oh-so-many reasons) and I never understood why Wade let that happen. But anywhoo...
As a former dance team member (long live sequins and spandex!), I'm glad that dancers/dance teams have finally been given the spotlight...and hiphop dancing is now on national TV...and without cr0tch-grabbing and h00chie clothes that it's always associated with. Love it!

RIP 99-cent Menu
Lunch will never be the same again.
Last month, I had lunch with a friend at Wendy's and as usual, I ordered my 5-piece Crispy Chicken Nuggets and small fries. Surprisingly, the total was a few cents than what I had expected. I passed it off thinking that it was no Biggie (did you get the pun?).
Yesterday, I had lunch at Wendy's again and I ordered a Jr Bacon Cheeseburger and sour cream & chive potato which all used to cost $2.16 including tax, but holy moley, it came to $2.34!
After much research (I was THAT affected), I found out that Wendy's replaced the infamous "99-cent Menu" with the "Super Value Menu" and you guessed it, not all of the menu items cost 99 cents anymore; more specifically, my beloved potato sides are now more than $1. What the heezy fo' sheezy happened?
Dave, whereever you may be these days, tell your people to re-think about this injustice they just did. Afterall, McDonald's now have a Dollar Menu and they're right: I'm lovin' it.

The Swan
Things that I used to spend money on, but don't anymore:
- CDs
- DVDs
- Sanrio stuff
Things that I used to not buy, but now I do:
- Coach purses
- MNG by Mango clothes
- Naturalizer shoes (comfort is #1)
Parang mas mura yung mga hobbies ko nung bata ako kesa ngayon na nagdadalaga na. HaHa! I spent this three-day weekend shopping, all three days of it. When the heck did I turn into a girl?!
I guess this is what happens when I can't travel as freely as I used to: naiipon yung pera pero hindi naman magamit sa gustong puntahan kaya kung ano-ano na lang ang binibili. Puwede din na wala kasing papa kaya hinahanap ang pagmamahal sa bag na lang...at mahal talaga siya. ;P

Mi Familia
Regardless of how early the concept of funerals was introduced to me and regardless of how many times I've had deaths in the two sides of my family, every single funeral seems "new" to me, never quite understanding the concept nor being comfortable witnessing all of it.
My Lola Inay was buried yesterday and the whole family came together to say, "See you later." And I know she went to a great place because it was sunny with clear blue skies the whole entire day eventhough we're in the middle of winter.
It's times like this that one can be thankful for having a family in more ways than one.
