GLEEkiness.

I am so addicted to the television right now. For one, PBB Double Up just started (and I like the Austrian guy), The Nanny is still on, and SNN is scheduled at a very convenient time. All others, like Jonas and Wizards of Waverly Place I can either watch on the net or wait for the rerun.

I have a new favorite show too. I've been watching Glee as my friends have been persuading me because it's such a good show. They're right! But personally, I'd give it an 8/10 because it's not really my type of show. Hee. I do like the plot though. It's like a breath of fresh air. I also love how the characters have their own quirks. Still, there are parts that trigger my short attention span. The show runs a full hour on tv and if you take out the commercials, the length is about 40 minutes. And usually, I can't keep my attention span at 30 full minutes. If there's anything I truly love about the show, it would be Mr. Schuester's character. He's very inspiring. He sees something uniquely special about each of the students and encourages them to share these talents to others. And oh, I would like to kill Sue Sylvester(the cheerleading squad's adviser) and sometimes, even Quinn and Puck. Ughh. I also get annoyed with Rachel because she's such a diva... and I usually wouldn't tolerate such an attitude. But not to take anything away from her, she's a really great singer. To me, the show is like High School Musical, but with more depth to the story and more talented singers.

Oh I have to go. I'm forced to evacuate the home pc. But before I leave, i'll post this image that i made out of boredom using photoshop:

en España :)

The shot above was taken by my friend  during his trip to Spain.

An excerpt from his e-mail reads:

this was taken while i was on the train ride from Madrid to Malaga, and we were passing by a few towns on the way :D

I've always known that Puertollano is a place in Spain. And I was so amazed when I found this earlier while checking my mail. :)

I really want to go there... SOON :)

To my friend: Thank you very much. As always, you're amazing! :)

Typhoons come and go

These past few days were quite differently spent. For the most part, I was busy with the relief operations for typhoon victims. Something I haven't really done much personally -- being part of the actual relief operations by volunteering myself. In the past, I've only donated. the first time I did this was last year, at GK brookside which was heavily devastated by the rains.

We watched Pay It Forward during the chapter assembly. I chose to stick around until the film ended. It was a perspective check of sorts. I remember seeing this film during my first year in high school for our PALIHAN (my school's version of CWTS, except this was done only once or twice a month). I remember how after seeing it, my consciousness somehow grew. It's not just about paying back the people you owe a certain depth of gratitude to, but also about paying forward, by being a blessing to others. The film struck me a lot, despite having watched it a few times already.

I did a bit of walking too -- having to go to STC and doing the groceries for what seemed to be an impending typhoon. I saw how much garbage we constantly throw out every day. There were mountains upon mountains. And we all throw it back to Mother Nature. And now that we have experienced her wrath, we should realize that we only have one planet to live, so we should take care of it. Typhoons come and go, but we're here to stay a little bit longer, so we have all the time to right our wrong.  :)

On a lighter note, the typhoon has done so much for my humor. Made me more... sabaw! (Thanks to watching The Nanny!)
