American Pie the Reunion!






This post has been long overdue and I apologize to my friend (Orange) for not posting this sooner. Well,we dont see each other very often so everytime we meet up it feels like a reunion to me. And just so we could do something that day, We've decided to watch American Pie: The Reunion. If you were able to watch the first 3 movies then you'll definitely love this movie more. You'll see how Michelle and Jim already have a baby, Stifler's Got a Job, Oz and Heather are meant for each other Kevin is a married guy, and not to Vicki, and Finch's life is not what he wanted it to be. All of the cast was present including Nadia and there were some additions like Stifler's boss and Finch's mom! There was no "blah" moments on the movie and I guarantee that you will laugh from the beginning of the movie until the very end.

Stifler: " High school was awesome. But then we graduated and everybody started getting married and all that other stupid crap…"

10/10 for this movie and check out the sound track as well!

Ang Araw ni Katya


saksakan ka ng sungit! oo! at alam mo 'yan! naalala ko pa nung bata pa ako, ayaw mo akong palabasin sa tanghali dahil kailangan kong matulog. parusa kaya sa'ken 'yun.kurot na walang kasingsakit ang ipinapataw mong parusa kapag tumatakas ako. kulang na lang ipahid ko ang SHULAMI (kulangot) sa aking twinkling eyes at magpapanggap silang mga muta para lang hayaan mo akong makalaya kahit sikat na sikat pa ang araw.

tila mga flying saucers ang mga hangers sa bahay kapag sobrang gulo ng paligid dahil pinaghahagis mo sila habang ako ay mga nakahilata pa rin sa aking higaan. ang lakas mo lang manira ng tulog di ba?

sukdulan talaga ang inggit ko sa mga kaklase ko noong elementarya dahil nakaranas sila magsuot ng BUTCH(boots), mag-alaga ng digital pets o tamagotchi at magpayabangan ng mga bag na may gulong or strollers. ang sususyal nila. samantalang ako pilit kong pinagkakasya yung sampung pisong pinapabaon mo sa akin noon araw araw. todo tipid talaga ang ginagawa ko para lang ma-experience ng dila ko ang tamis asim ng NERDS at CRY BABY.

ilang beses ka bang nangako na rereguluhan mo ako ng telepono? taun taon mula nung high school hanggang kolehiyo, puro pangako. kahit nga PAGER hindi ko man lang naranasan.

alam mo rin ba inggit na inggit ako sa mga kalaro ko noong bata ako. hinahayaan lang sila na maglaro maghapon. kahit hatinggabi na, nae-enjoy pa rin nila ang kalye dahil walang sumusuway sa kanila. eh ikaw? alas 9 pa lang ng gabi dinig na dinig ko na yung boses mo. nagsusumigaw upang pauwiin ako. imbiernang imbierna talaga ako sa'yo nun! hindi ko man lang ma-showcase ang galing ko sa paglalaro ng BANGSAK at TAGUTAGUAN. outstanding pa naman ang performance ko sa mga larong yun. kaya lang lagi mo ako pinapauwi agad.

alam mo ba na KATYA ang tawag sa'yo ng mga friends ko nung college? kasi naman, kada daratnan ka nila sa bahay naten kung hindi ka nakatapis ng tuwalya dahil kakatapos mo lang maligo, nakasando ka lang na manipis at shorts na walang pinagkaiba sa panty. juice ko! kinabog mo talaga sina maui taylor at yung iba pang viva hotbabes sa pang araw araw mong eksena.

pero alam mo rin ba na mas nainis ako sa sarili ko nung na-realize ko kung gaano kahirap ang trabaho mo. kung gaano ka ka-ngarag sa dami ng ginagawa mo at hirap mo. napagtanto ko na ang trabaho mo ang pinakahaggard na trabaho sa balat ng lupa.

kahit anung gigil at inis mo sa'ken dahil sa sobrang tigas ng ulo ko, marinig mo lang ang "sorry" mula sa'ken, nakakalimutan mo na lahat ng galit. ikaw rin ang nakadiskubre ng tunay kong pagkatao. anu'ng ginawa mo? nagyakapan lang tayo, nag-iyakan at buong puso mong tinanggap kung anu ako.

alam mo namang iyakin ako pero anu nga ba yung text mo sa'ken nung last birthday mo habang nasa hospital ako hinihintay ka, "MAGPAGALING KA LANG, 'YUN NA ANG GIFT MO SA'KEN!" lalo akong napahagulgol dahil hindi lahat ng tao makakaranas ng kung anu ang pinaranas mo sa'ken.

hindi man maayos ang pagkakasulat ko nito, alam naman Niya na galing sa puso ko lahat ng nakasulat dito. hindi ko alam kung bakit ikaw ang ibinigay NIya sa'kin. masama ang ugali ko pero bakit tila isang napaka-espesyal na regalo pa ang ibinigay Niya sa'ken.

sakali mang mawala ako at magkaroon tayo ng susunod na buhay, hihilingin ko sa Kanya na ikaw muli ang kanyang ibigay. hindi lang alam ng mga tao kung gaano ako kasuwerte magkaroon ng isang tulad mo. MAHAL NA MAHAL KITA, MAMA! IKAW ANG PINAKA-ESPESYAL NA BABAE SA PUSO KO.

JOEY MAALOUF’S BEAUTY BY ZODIAC (MAY)


ARIES - What goes around comes back around…um, do you feel like you’ve been here before? This month is all about letting go of negative feelings. You’ll make so much progress if you make the right lifestyle changes. You’ll need to be more productive, so keep the chatter to a minimum. Start laying down the foundation that will make you more stable for your future. Surround yourself with wonderful friends that bring out the best in you — they’ll guide you in the right direction without even realizing it.

TAURUS – Out with the old, in with the new and make room for something better. Someone who lives in the present such as you needs to look to the past once in a while so that it can teach you something about your future. Who knows? Sometimes when you reminisce just enough you get a stroke of genius. Life is a mission to make your dreams come true; the problem is there are no rules nor instructions.  Paint as you go isn’t very like you, but you may need to try it out — you’ll be amazed at what results.

GEMINI - You’re seeking ways to better yourself in the first few weeks of this month, however it can be overwhelming depending on how much you actually want to change. Unfortunately, this is not the moment to take your friend’s advice about being all “one step at a time” about it. I’m afraid to say that a leap of faith at this moment will free you from your stress and have an exciting reward. Take the chance — what do you have to lose? I mean how much longer can you bite your nails and tell your friend the same story over and over again?

CANCER – You’ll be shining throughout the month, but no matter how many loved ones you’re surrounded by, you’ll find yourself craving a less sociable environment and a quiet place to hear your own thoughts. Be careful as to who you allow in around this time. Your venerability can attract people who will sidetrack you from your long-term plans. Just keep yourself as a top priority and don’t give in to the temptation of helping everyone before you help yourself.

LEO - This is a very exciting time for you as your mind is clear and coming up with non-stop ideas right now. Make sure to be mindful of others feelings as you present these brilliant thoughts or they may backfire on you. Some people just can’t handle that you know what you’re doing and that’s not your fault. Be strategic about everything from your workout routine to some well-deserved alone time and you’ll be on top of the world!

VIRGO – You’re in a place of reconsidering everything, and your profession should be at the top of that list. While this transitional period has your mind working overtime, your partner may spring some surprising news that will catch you off guard.  Don’t react until you’ve given yourself time to process the information. Call someone that makes you laugh and book spa appointments — or better yet, plan a quick getaway to help you figure everything out.

LIBRA - There’s nothing wrong with you –  you’re just going through a growth period. Sometimes you have to get bent out of shape to see your true potential. Believing in yourself is where it all begins, and then the window of opportunity flies right open. Make sure to control your temper; this month may throw a lot of uncomfortable elements your way to test your patience. Count to 10 before you react. People who are overly critical don’t always know what they’re talking about.

SCORPIO - Your feelings towards the people you surround yourself with are yo-yo’ing and you’re uncertain which way to turn. Trusting your first instinct is the missing element. It will give you more control over everything you do in your life. If you find yourself in a compromising position, take the high road. Don’t feed into anyone else’s negativity when the situation has nothing to do with you. Pick up a yoga class or go see a spiritual healer and you’ll be refocused in no time.

SAGITTARIUS – If life only had a quick fix, all your problems will be solved. It’s not that no one understands where you are coming from — it’s that you don’t understand where you’re coming from. You can’t try and mold something into something it isn’t! The answers are really all around you — they’re just flying over your head. This isn’t as good as it gets, so luckily you have time to wake up and smell the beautiful roses that await. Believe in yourself enough to make a plan and execute it perfectly. Can you do that?

CAPRICORN - Ugh, isn’t it annoying when people tell you “patience is a virtue”? Duh! If you had any, you probably wouldn’t be so impatient! Actually you’re not impatient –  you just come across that way because you’re blocked going in one direction and you’re capable of more. You just need to realize why you haven’t moved forward. Once you do, it will empower you to take yourself anywhere you need to go. Don’t cloud your skies with work-related stress.  Find some well-deserved pleasure in a fun night out with the girls.

AQUARIUS - Grabbing your attention is a little difficult these days — where’s your head? You’re obsessed with this idea of who you think you are. Everyone around you sees how wonderful you are, but do you really need to remind them every ten seconds or is it the sound of your own voice that you love? A good wake-up call may be just around the corner. There are a few things inside your soul you have to set free. It’s time to take that long overdue trip and let out all those repressed feelings.

PISCES – It’s wonderful to be able to see so far into your future, but you need to realize that those small steps in between are what get you there. Just allow yourself enough time to gather your thoughts and gain your strength. There are no rules to follow (you just think there are). A plan is needed at this time and you also need to pay attention to your finances.  Don’t make any big purchases without reading the fine print — it may end up more expensive then you think. Just focus on what’s in front of you first and then go from there.

Tyra Banks Just Fired Everyone On America’s Next Top Model


Miss J. Alexander, Jay Manuel, and noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker have been dismissed from America’s Next Top Model after 18 seasons. Now who’s going to teach aspiring models how to walk a runway and take fierce photographs?

Page Six reports that the judges’ contracts weren’t renewed because of a “production decision” to amp up social media efforts. Producers have reportedly been in touch with bloggers like Bryan Boy and fashion insiders with a strong Internet following to be on the show.
Banks and Barker awkwardly said their farewells to each other via Twitter:



But Alexander doesn’t have a Twitter, and Manuel is too busy to update us on his situation:



Bryan Boy hasn’t confirmed or denied reports. But if the rumors are indeed true and he accepts a spot on the judges’s panel, he’ll be making even more dough than he already does.

Lady Gaga Wore Couture And A Pearl Mask In South Korean Airport

Lady Gaga didn’t waste time making a sartorial statement as soon as she got off the plane in Seoul, South Korea today.

Naturally, she decided to wear a white Atelier Versace dress with a plunging, down-to-there neckline and a pearl-encrusted mask. The couture gown is actually really pretty, but it’s definitely more appropriate for the red carpet than the airport. Seriously, when does Gaga wear an appropriate outfit for any occasion?

And then there’s the pearl face mask. It’s also pretty, but super weird. What purpose does it even serve? If the mask was in a contest with her pearl-encrusted face at the 2010 amfAR Gala, the latter wins.

Oh, if you’re wondering why she’s in South Korea, she’s kicking off her third concert tour at the Olympic Stadium in Seoul next week.

First Time Blogger: Oh, How I Love First Time!

Hello world! I am a bit nervous... Obviously from the title itself, this is my first time to blog and I am not born a writer.  Can you all bear with me for I forgot the rules of grammar and I don’t know the form of writing a blog. And I am afraid of criticism. This is not really my thing, you know writing about anything and people will see it publicly. I write in my diary though (of course, only me seeing it) but... Let me tell you how I've come up to this. Maybe for friendship’s sake? hahaha! Well,let us blame our big fella (hahaha). He just gave me quality friends, when I say quality, beautiful inside and out and smart. Smart? That is a big question why on earth I am with these intellectual people. I mean from the saying "birds of the same feather, flock together"? I really don’t think I belong to this group (hahaha). I was just kidding. I know why i have them. So many reasons, no need to say it in public because they know it.  Now, why did I just mention friends here? They are just the reason why I will have my first blog ever (woohoo?!kinda hesitant still.haha!). My friends Erin, Orange and Lany.They believe in me I think. So here it is. They have their own blog sites but they want to have one with all of us together so we could share our different insights on random things. It's like having coffee and conversation which we usually do and all love. Talking and exchanging thoughts. Kinda intellectual on the last part (feeler!haha).

The story behind. They have been planning this before 2012 came, now its almost half way of 2012 before they have convinced me (haha!). I have so many fears ofcourse the reason why it took me a while before I said yes. And I really don't know what to tell you guys. I'm stumped. Im always like this. I have so many things on my mind but I cannot express it very well. But now, I tried. Maybe the reason is I want to conquer my fear. My fear of 'what will people say' by 'making mistakes'. It could be the hindrance in doing my best i guess. It just made me realized that if i wont try, how would I know my mistakes. And making mistakes is part of our life. It is an art. The art of growing and overcoming your frustrations, insecurities and worries. And this is just a simple way of facing reality. Facing your own anxiety. I have so many fears specially trying new things because i might not do well. Until, I've become used to it. When I got out of my comfort zone. I mean when i was out of my 8 year relationship, a lot of new things for me came. If you would allow me to tell you a little story of how I was when i was there. Well, I was one of those girls who cannot go out of the box. Sad to say my life then was just my boyfriend (ang corny!hahaha!). That is why I never tried new things for me until I was out of it. I know, the magnificent one helped me get out of it. And new things for me came. And it helped me grow in so many ways. I've become self reliant. And I get to know myself very well. And somehow I was able to conquer my fears. And I have the best feeling always after I've done it. And this blogging thing? I know I will learn a lot from this. And now, I didn't realize I've composed two paragraphs already. I know there are so many points to improve and I'm willing to listen to all of your comments.

Why will I be afraid of committing mistakes if it will help me grow? And sooner I will be a good blogger. And before I end this, let me tell you few of my first time...


My first ever out of the country. Thailand is the first country I've visited and if I will recall, my first time to ride on a plane too. After this, I've become addicted to travel. I get to know myself very well in every places I visit. Though expensive, I find ways to make it practical yet unforgettable.





My first ever serious run. Before this, I had different runs but this I must say is the first serious one. I took 10 kms for 1hr and 40 mins. Not bad for a first timer though.



My first ever run with no stop. Took 5kms for 42 mins. My goal was to finish it without stopping or walking and I've made it. And the lesson I learned during the run? It pays to be patient in a distance race. Maintain a steady speed for the majority of it so you’ll have energy to finish fast. You’ll know it works when late in the race you start picking off people who passed you in the first miles - nikerun. It's like your journey in life, if you aim too fast to the finish line, you might not enjoy your journey.
green and white run.



My first ever sport. I never thought I would have a sport. When I was growing, my parents didn't exposed us to any sports until I have my job. It maybe too late for my age but naah, I am enjoying it. And this sport helped me improve my confidence.



My first ever skim boarding. I was afraid of falling. I got injured and fell so many times but it was worth a try.

My first ever poi dance. This helped me improved my confidence too.



My first ever height conquering. I was one of those who have fear in heights but I've made it through Cebu's skywalk.



My first ever alone travel. I was there not on leisure but to try a new path. I took the chance when an opportunity came. No matter how I was afraid on how it might end, I tried. It didn’t end up happily but the adventure cannot be replaced.




Till my next blog...
