Sunday, September 08, 2002 And Just Like That... (spoken in true Carrie Bradshaw fashion) Monday, 9-23-02Coffee, accesories, and The Emmys...those three words pretty much sums up my what I did yesterday. Why? Well, let me start with the coffee bit....brewed coffee at that. Coffee being a favorite of mine, I guess it is no surprise that I mention it often. Yesterday, the coffeemaker in the office became up and running once again after months of hiatus. You could just imagine my glee as I came into the office with the sight of a huge can of the Folgers coffee grounds and the new glass container ( the other got broken ) brought by one of our agents. For a while there, we all just had to contend ourselves with 3-in-1 coffee so I immediately took it upon myself to clean the coffeemaker , to open the can of coffee , and to prepare everything for the whole brewing process. And just like that ( spoken in Carrie Bradshaw fashion), our coffee shop is back! Now, moving on to the accesories. I go ga-ga over crazy fashion accessories, that I must say. The more unique the design , the better. Last Saturday , I just bought a pair of funky earrings at CMG located at The Podium. It is that funky that my Mom told me not to wear it to the office. But I guess, I can pull away with it given the right attitude (what attitude, though, I have no idea). Anyway, this afternoon, one of our top agents brought a whole bunch of accessories. One of her clients is in the business of selling accesories so as a favor to her client, she agreed to sell some of the stuff to us. The accesori-hlic that I am, I bought a bracelet and a pair made up of another bracelet and a matching necklace. My my, am I spending a lot these past few days or what? I know I really need and wnat to save but seeing those array of beads and stones of different shapes and sizes right before my very eyes really tempted me. And just like that (again spoken in Carrie Bradshaw fashion) , my resolve to be more thrifty went pfft! And now, moving on to The Emmys (oh the Emmys!) What can I say? It was fun and entertaining to watch. It was worth the hours of watching, of waiting in anticipation of the results, and also of the frustration that one gets if his bets lost. Only on award-ging programs would you see your favorite stars shedding of their boobtube image to reveal who they are... people who aren't that much different from each other ( at least, fashion-wise) Everyone says the same speech ( more or less), every man wears a tuxedo or a coat and tie that seems to be made by just one designer . The men looked like penguins. That is good though coz they aer already endangered , right?( the penguins... not the men), The women, on the otherhand looked like mermaids in their glittery , skin-tight long gowns (except the preggy Cynthia Nixon) Oh well, pardon me for being bitchy . Actually, I'll let you in on my secret. This is just my attempt to show that I am anti-Hollywood. Just wanted to see if it would work. Did it? I bet I didn't convince you . Heck, I didn't even convince myself . Minus the speech, I buy Hollywood in all its cheesiness. That is something I will not apologize or be shameful for. I am proud to say I watch FRIENDS and I always want to find out the new hairstyle of each of the cast members. I am always interested in knowing how much Jennifer Ansiton, David Schwimmer, Matt Le Blanc, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox-Arquette, and Matthew Perry will be paid everytime they renew their contract ( if they decide to renew, that is). I am proud to say I watch Sex and The City and that I see Carrie Bradshaw as in icon . I always want to see what is new in fashion according to the seemingly warped minds of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda. I also ask questions such as... Are the cast members of the tv series also like the characters that they portray on tv? Do they really discuss c*ck tales over glasses of Cosmopolitan? The point is, I buy Hollywood in its glitz, drama, glamour, and craziness. It may be shallow but then everyone has a shallow side that they should be allowed to indulge in, right? Hollywood is my shallowness ( at least one of them) so give it to me. So to anyone, bring out The Emmys ( and The Oscars and The Grammys) of showbusiness and Hollywood, and just like that ( yes,you guessed it right, spoken in true Carrie Bradshaw fashion) I am as mainstream as Julia Roberts. =) Fickle-minded me 9-21-02 Once again, I changed the skin for my blog. One moment I like a particluar skin, and the next thing I know, I am sick of it.But now, I resolve to stick to this....really. I absolutely like this. There is so much more that I can do with this , and besides it is tiring to keep on doing so many changes. Most of the time, I don't even know what the heck I am doing. This one is just right. The color is almost the same as the wallpaper in my room...only lighter. I wonder why I didn't notice this before? =) Anyways... Now I am working on the writing stuff. This is the fun part for me. � Really glad, relieved, thankful, and oh so cool with this skin. La la la la! I can sing right now for finding this. Really fabbity fab! ( thanks to you if you made this skin!) 9-7-02 Have I forgotten what this blog is for ? You see, I haven't posted anything in quite a while. Well, actually, I haven't( though it seems that way). For a while, I just got so focused on improving the aesthetic value of this one, changing skins and all , that I got hooked into it (not thatI had fun!) Prior to this , the skin is used has stars on it. At first, I liked it but later on got sick and tired of the pink colors (no offense meant to the one who made it). I realized I wanted something simpler , so I chose this Vanilla Skin. It really looks yummy.... as yummy as a Mocha Frappuccino or a Caramel Macchiato ( I wonder if someone from Starbucks is reading this and if in the goodness of his or her heart he will give me a my daily coffee fix for mentioning their products. On the otherhand, I might get sick of their products and would later crave for Figaro,or Seattle's Best). Starbucks is okay. But minus all the hype and the notion that Starbucks make teenagers cool and in, and yuppies look like they are out to conquer the world ( with the help of their notebooks to enhance the image) , it is almost just like any other coffee shop. Come to think of it, what makes one a stand-out if he prescribes to the same notion that everybody else does? If one has character, shouldn't he give definition to coffee and not the other way around? Take, for example, the cast of Friends. The guys hang-out at Central Perk very oportuntiy there is. And everytime, they do not bring anything else aside from their humor and stories.Well, of course, they are better-looking than everybody else that usually goes there , but must they be blamed for that? In highschool, I remember this classmate of mine . Her daily drink during recess is probably one of those powdered juice drinks. Yet ,the way she would hold her canteen, you'd think she's drinking the world's most exquisite wine. There was always a certain flair with the way she would do it, like she was in a commercial of Nescafe. So what is the point? The point of all this (belive ,me, there is. Just wait for me to get there, please?) is that coffee is a great thing that came to be here on Earth. People like it. For some people, it is a staple morning drink. Bur enjoying coffee doesn't ahev to be drinking from a recycled cup with a logo on it . Its contents doesn't ahve to c0me from beans harvested from some far-off mountain. It is your taste buds that will tell you which is really good. Thus, making your own coffee concoction is still the way to go Of course, free Starbucks coffee for a year is still welcome... just to make it clear. |
