No more good monkey...

Yes, I cried when King Kong died. I've seen the Peter Jackson remake twice, and I love it! I didn't mind sitting through the 3hr and 15min flick. Others found it dragging. But for me, it was interesting, amazing and entertaining. And so goddamn SAD when King Kong died. I already know how the story goes. But seeing how adorable he was, and how he treated Ann with so much care, I just couldn't take watching the ending.

I watched it with my family the other day, during mom's birthday. I was giggling quietly with my sister, Andrea, when King Kong appeared on screen. We were whispering, "Aaww... monkey." :)

Mom celebrated her 51st birthday on December 20. We spent the night with Chinese food, popcorn, fruit shakes and a good movie. Happy birthday ma! Love you lots!

I was wrapping up my boardwork a while ago, and suddenly, it just hit me. Oh my god! It's Christmas already this weekend! And I haven't started my gift shopping yet! What have I been doing for the past few weeks? Then, I remembered. I was too busy taking care of our Christmas Party Presentation. :( Now I have to cram. And I'm starting immediately after I finish this entry.

------------

Speaking of the presentation, WE WON! :) Funny, I remembered praying to God since last week - "Lord, please make us win 1st place." And I got what I asked for. Wave 89.1 bagged 1st place, with 20 gran. And the champs were the people from Jam. When I was saying my thank you prayer last night, I said, "Lord thanks for making us win. Kahit 1st place lang..." Then I laughed. Shit. That was exactly what I asked for. Remind me to go for gold next time. :)

It's Christmas already! I'm still deciding on it, but I think I wanna get me an IPOD mini and an ITrip. I have to shell out about 16K.

IPOD.

Or audio set up for me car?

Hmmm... decisions, decisions.

Hiatus!

Back to blogging after taking a break for quite a while. Been too busy to sit still. Now, finally, I found time to write about what happened to me the past few weeks.

Hosted the grand finals of the Skechers Streetdance Battle last Dec. 3 at the World Trade Center. My partner Rye and I hosted with Nikki Gil and Gab Valenciano. The event went quite well. Exhausting for the hosts. But it was okay. UP Diliman bagged the 100K. Well deserved. They were amazing! No pictures...hehehe. Sorry. :) I only have pictures of me and my honey, testing our new Nokias! :)

After telling myself that Secreto de Amor will be my last project with this studio I work in as voice talent, I auditioned for a new telenovela with them again. It's going to be an English version of Ruby. I was assured there would be no more rewrites. They already have a writer who will be in charge of that. (Thank God!) I was chosen to play Maribel, the crippled best friend. Hopefully the project will be approved by the client. As long as there's no more "homework" I wouldn't mind this new show to dub. :)

Robi (Akafellas) and I hosted the AXN Kung Fu Hustle Movie Premiere Launch over the weekend at Robinson's Place Manila. It was such a fun event. The crown was masa. Which was better actually. They were more responsive than the sosi passersby. And majority of the participants in the games were masa. They made the event successful and so much fun. And since Robi doesn't talk much tagalog, I gladly did most of that. It's seldom that we get hostings in non-upscale places. That's why when I get the chance, I savor it. Because I enjoy it. I just love being kulit and kwela. :)

The AXN people were so nice, even the ones from Singapore. Looking forward to working with them again soon.

Yesterday we had our Wave Christmas Party at World Music in Promenade. So much fun! We had such a great time - singing our hearts out, laughing and getting tipsy. :) I found a new singing buddy in MTV VJ Don. He's so fun to be with! And a good singer too. You should've heard us do duets like A Whole New World and Sometimes When We Touch. :)

Pics to follow...

Also, I got the chance to spend Saturday with my folks. Had a little stupid accident with my car last week. Dad and I went out to get the tires changed and all. Then we spent the night together downing pepperoni pizza and spaghetti at Shakeys, and finally capping the evening with lattes at Mocha Blends. So much fun!
