betty’s rival
watched ugly betty’s season 3 episodes 5 & 6 back to back tonight and i got so fired up. lindsay lohan’s character is pure evil.
a large part of why shows like these work is that villains are multi-dimensional and are those you love to hate. her character, kimmy, was just pure hate. she stuck out like a real thorn on the side and apparently there were rumors lindsay also had a spat with america ferrera during shoots. producers allegedly cut down her episodes from 6 to 4, with the recent one being her last. and good riddance. i dont think i could take another episode with her character in it, it was just plain irritating and infuriating i had to blog about it haha.
and in this episode they featured the tico berries, a fictional fruit which is really rambutan. yes, rambutan from your friendly side walk vendors.
now i can sleep knowing betty suarez land is right again. haha
btw, gio was back for episode 3. hehehe. ok sleep already. zzzzzzzzzzzz

say hi to luna
introducing luna
luna has been with me for about a month now. her bigger brother, juan the desktop, remains at home while luna and i go to meetings and presentations. both luna and juan are katipuneros, they live on 47L, ergo the names. and theyre artists more importantly. she’s a big help and it’s fun doing work on the dining table or in the bathroom instead of being stuck to just under the stairs where juan is. i hope juan wouldnt take offense that i do my work and play more on luna nowadays. ashteg.
claim to fame
my friend ica just returned my jesus christ superstar dvd after a long time. we popped it on luna and watched ted neeley and carl anderson run away with probably the best performance of their lives. after discussing their singing on the movie, we decided to google up what they have been doing and found out ted neely is still doing jcs on tour. we ran up the video on youtube and well, im a bit perplexed on what we found. im not entirely sure i liked what i saw.

ugly betty season 3
i cant wait! season3 premieres sept 25 in the US. lindsay lohan also in the cast. yey america ferrera!
balay ni marc jacobs
love the look of marc jacobs’ apartment in france. simple, very classic and rather masculine for a reknowned designer (one would probably expect an armani or versace kind of frivolous extravagance in fashion gods’ homes, which jacobs is not). and i love the playfulness of the photographs with marc jacobs in it. the apartment has a bit of retro furniture, which i currently am into, and evokes a mix french and manhattan-ish feel to it. i thought his house is intimate enough and stuff like this drives me mad wanting to eventually get our own place soon, one that we can dressup and design to our liking. especially since my list of wants for the home gets longer every time. hehehe
The Den: with Sean Lander’s Mr. Rabbit
crazy what you wish
taken from a forwarded email:
A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: “Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I wa nt her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. Amen.”
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man’s wish.
The next morning sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit. Went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the checkbook. He cleaned the cat’s litter box and bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, Then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washi ng vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed.
At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren’t finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, Lord, I don’t know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife’s being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back.”
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, “My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were, you’ll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night.”
