Senti Friday...

...for a change.
===================================================================
by PAM


"And now the wait is over, and love has finally showed her my way....
Marry me... if I ever get the nerve to say 'hello'...
...say you will."

Oy!  Train of the "Drops of Jupiter" fame, good-aah! 

Uhm, ahem, is it mega-cheesy for you, guys?  :)  Well, blame it on Liam Lagdameo (Xian Lim) and Celyn Marasigan (Kim Chiu) of "Ina, Kapatid, Anak" fame... I swear those two are kilig-to-the-bone-marrow powerhouse!  :)  

Xian Lim is so believable in his role as Celyn's dashing "knight in shining armor".  He's got it all figured out, and his role acted out well enough to trend in twitterdom nationwide and worldwide.  He mixes the right amount of cheesiness with the take-charge and dependable-man aura about him, with a sprinkling of natural male protective attitude, territorial when needed, and exuding some mystery, too.  He's perfect as Liam! :)  Kim Chiu's Celyn is very feminine in spite of being strong-willed, intelligent, independent, and practical... she is a lovely and lovable kid when family is involved - very Filipino, a tough and responsible Executive at work when the situation calls for it - very Filipina... and a sentimental girlfriend when Liam is involved - absolutely Filipina!  Away from each other, both are whole and tough against all the challenges around them... together, they are as sweet as honey.  I like that about the characters... one is not incomplete without the other, and yet, together, you see them complementing each other into a wholeness that radiates happiness, too.  I believe couples should be like that.  Yep, nice characters, young people worth emulating... and very good portrayal by Xian and Kim as primetime TV's megacouple, "Celiam".  Uh-hmm, that's right, I'm a big "KimXi" fan... just in case it isn't obvious to you yet.  ;)

And, well... yeah, I must admit that that Wednesday nostalgia thing two days ago sorta adds to all this Senti Friday nonsensical talks... too many very good memories float to the surface whenever Cornell comes to mind. :)  Then again, if 'nonsensical' feels this good, I'd go for nonsensical anytime! :)

Therefore, let's load up!


"I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind...
Even the best fall down sometimes, even the wrong words seem to rhyme...."

Aw, man, that is so good!  And while we're at it, let's keep going...

"If I lay here, if I just lay here...
...would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

Oh, boy... too good!  These guys are too good!  I wonder if they can get any better....

"I guess we've never really moved on... it's really good to hear your voice."

...aw, yep, they can, even when they're singing about sad stuff!  Aawww-wooo!  :)  Why can't I write songs like they can... and sing great like they do?!  Oh, well... I guess some guys have all the luck?  Right!  ;)  

Alright, I swear this is the last one now...

"You didn't have to cut me off...
...now you're just somebody that I used to know."

"Walkin' on sunshine..."

...I wish!
================================================================
by PAM


Sick-oh!

I've been getting tired of staring at the ceiling above my bed... and there are no live football or tennis matches on TV to make this
Leo Messi... ooh-some!
'suffering' bearable... and, aside from Roger Federer's win in Indian Wells, putting his numbers to 39 wins in his last 41 matches so far, and FC Barcelona's usual brilliance, there aren't many happy news to cheer me up on local and cable news channels either, plus HARDtalk airs (the same interview) thrice a day only.  While totalBarça is keeping me entertained whenever sleep eluded me, keeping me abreast of FC Barcelona's run this season and Lionel Messi's latest exciting and record-breaking exploits over the past how many days - I'll definitely talk about those when I feel a little better - I wish there were more things to do when sickness attacks and I'm waiting for the medicine to do its job - give me a restful sleep while it fixes the trouble inside my body.  But, isn't this one of the reasons why iPad came into being?  So, we could read our fave e-magazines, e-broadsheets and blogs, check and respond to our e-mails, watch our fave videos on YouTube... and even post an entry on our blog even when we're lying down, hammered flat by sickness, and living normally wasn't possible?  Exactly! :)



Therefore, let's have iPad do its job - make sick days seem like normal days.  Is that sad... or sad?  It is, but no point in crying.  Therefore, here it is... my wish - to walk on sunshine with Xi-, er, McFloat in hand! ;)  Pa-parapapa...



Hmm... once this sickness goes away, I swear I'd down a McFloat Summer Medley... not just because, ahem, Xian Lim is endorsing it, but it would mean full-recovery from sickness!  =)  How's that for a motivation to get well? ;)   Aaal-right, sure... and there's work to do, too - tons of it.  Ugh!  :(  Ooops, I think that was the thermometer breaking - mercury shooting out of the glass tube!  =)  Oh, no!
