Season Finale.
First Season Finale Watched: Gossip Girl
Although Dan and Serena broke up, I loved how it all ended. Blair, everybody's favorite socialite, is back reclaiming the "Biggest bitch in town" throne from Georgina. Chuck makes peace with his best friend Nate, and also returns to being the well-known womanizer/jerk, Chuck Bass.
Second Season Finale Watched: House
It's actually a two-episode finale for House. The first part is "House's Head" and the second part is "Wilson's Heart".
House's Head. House was involved in an accident and was struggling to remember what happened in the four hours he lost. After undergoing hypnosis, overdosing on an Alzheimer drug, and saving a bus driver's life, he managed to remember something. Amber, the cut-throat bitch, was in the accident with him.
Wilson's Heart. After finding Amber in a not-so-good condition, House, who's still having a hard time remembering everything that happened on the lost four hours of his life, tries to diagnose her with the help of his annoying subordinates. Wilson was able to talk House into sacrificing his own life in exchange for Amber's, by having electrical currents pass through a drilled hole on his cracked skull to his brain. House agreed and underwent the dangerous procedure. He was able to remember everything and was able to diagnose Amber. Although they knew what's wrong with Amber, there's no cure for it and the cut-throat bitch died.
After watching these shows, I was giddy like a hyperactive toddler.Laughing out loud at witty remarks and cursing whenever I see Georgina's face. Then felt like a teenage drama queen, crying so hard because it was the end of Amber and Wilson's love story.
I must admit, it's a bit too bipolar-ish of me. Or maybe I'm just too affected because I won't be able to watch these shows next week.

American Idol 7 Finale.
It's a battle between the two Davids. Archuleta and Cook are my two favorites and I couldn't ask for anything more from American Idol.
I must admit that I didn't enjoy last year's season. In fact, I didn't know any of the Idols last year. But I did enjoy almost all of the performances from this season. I was happy that there's a new rocker in town David Cook, and of course the ever so loveable David Archuleta, a savant balladeer.
I'm so excited to see the finale that I'm thinking of calling in sick. But, I can always watch the replay. I have a week to figure out what I'm gonna do next Thursday. Ideas, anyone?

Charice Pempengco on Oprah.
Did you hear her say "na" while talking to Oprah? Or did she say "now"? I'm not quite sure but who cares? You know you've proven yourself to the world once Oprah invites you to make an appearance on her TV show.
I'm wishing Charice more success, although I'm not quite sure if she can star on the new High School Musical movie with her accent. But still, she's making her mother country proud!

The Godfather.
It reminded me of how I've always wanted to be a member of the mafia. There was this time when my friend and I used to meet up at around 5am to jog around the park near the NGI wet market and were thinking of organizing our very own Cosa Nostra. But of course, we didn't have the resources and we didn't want any trouble.
Anyways back to the movie, here's what I thought of the actors:
Al Pacino = simply awesome
Marlon Brando = greatest "Don" actor of all time
Robert Duvall = still looks the same after all these years
James Caan = looked good in the movie except for his super hairy shoulders
I did my research and saw that Abe Vigoda was also in this movie. Abe Vigoda's character is Sal Tessio, the person who planned on handing Michael Corleone over to Barzini. Abe also appears occasionally in the Late Night with Conan O'Brien TV show and has his own website and I think they made this website to tell the whole world that Abe's still alive. Funny, really. They even have this Premortem Mix recorded. If you don't remember what he looks like, here's his picture:
Hopefully, you know him now. But if you still don't, nobody would care. I just kinda feel bad for him because he's always being made fun of. At least he played an important role in the movie.

For Mama.
Thanks for watching the Desperate Housewives marathon on Star World with me today. I really hope we can do this more often.

Be Very Afraid.
I saw the movie trailer of Frontier(s) and I must say that I can't wait to see this one. After watching the trailer, I thought to myself that this is how a scary movie should be. I did my research and found out that after it got an NC-17 rating for "extreme sadistic gore and violence", they were forced to choose if they would want to cut it down to have an 'R' rating or keep it uncut and not show it in movie theatres around the world. They chose to keep the movie pure and now they have only a limited time to show them in select theatres. So you should go to the Frontier(s) site and check the select theater listings to find out if it's coming to a theatre near you.

Opportunity Lost.
I usually get up at around 5am to make it to my 6-2 shift in the hospital. So when I woke up this morning, I found an email sent to me at around 1am stating that I have 12 hours to complete the post or else I forfeit my slot. So there I was, getting ready for work and thinking of what to write at the same time. As you might have guessed, I failed to complete the minimum of 200 words for the post. I left for work at around 5:40am, almost got late, and still didn't finish the sponsored post I was tasked to write.
I was thinking about it all day, getting pissed at myself because I could have gotten up at 4:30am to check my email. And since I didn't expect any mails at that time, I tried to get a few more minutes of sleep not knowing that an opportunity had been given to me. And that cost me around $9.35. I'm hoping that I don't get a bad review from the site and they give me more opportunities in the near future.

Jason Castro.
Jason Castro chose to sing the songs of two of the most phenomenal Bobs in music history: Bob Marley's I Shot The Sheriff and Bob Dylan's Tambourine Man.
I thought his first performance was disappointing because he should have made the song work for him (since he and Marley have the same hair), but after seeing his second performance, I knew that the odds of Jason leaving is about 90%.

The Bro Code.
I know I should be updating the TN blog but this is just too good not to share on my own blog. As I've mentioned on a previous blog entry, I am so in love with Barney Stinson of the hit TV show, How I Met Your Mother. And, as an avid follower of his teachings, I would like to know why he acts the way he does.
I found this, The Bro Code, on Barney's blog posted on the CBS website.
I don't know where he got this but I think it's right on! And although he's a jerk (sometimes), I know that he means well and he loves his friends. Now that I think about it, I think Barney is like Michael Scott of The Office in some ways:
- Both wear suits.
- Both love hot girls.
- Both have loads of crazy ideas.
- Both want to be someone's best friend (Barney-Ted, Michael-Ryan).
- Both are heartbroken (Barney-Shannon, Michael-Jan).
I'm gonna think of other similarities. But for the meantime, I think I'll stop obsessing about Barney and focus on my life.

Iron Man.
We attended the special screening along with the VIPs. Yes, the VIPs. I don't know where we got the tickets but the 8:30pm slot was reserved for us. There was also a pre-screening party at Burgoo but we didn't bother to go there. We were only interested in watching Robert Downey, Jr. "suit up" and become Iron Man.

After a while, I got to focus on the movie. I can't really say that the movie's great but, I think it's WAY better than Spider-Man 3 and Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer, and I think I'm gonna see the sequel if they're planning to make one. I enjoyed Robert Downey Jr.'s performance although not so much Gwyneth's. I think she's better with all the drama and not the superhero girlfriend type.
