Saturday 9: Lie to Me

Saturday 9: Lie to Me


After a long while, I've decided to update my blog and participate to Saturday 9 again. =D


1. Can you tell when someone is lying to you?
-sometimes


2. Tell us about one of your flaws. Do you live with it or try to correct it?
-Flaws? Do I have one? *thinking* Ah, maybe claws. *wicked witch laugh*


3. When was the last time you laughed hard and what struck you as funny?
-Can't remember but I always laugh so hard - someone said like a peacock- even at the shallowest joke.


4. Tell us about a time when you should have tried harder.
-For me, everyday is always a time to try harder -try harder to be a good wife, a parent, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a citizen of my country...


5. If you won the lottery, what would you buy first?
- A house with a studio


6. What movie do you know every word to?
-I've watched Meet Joe Black a lot of times that I already feel like I'm part of the cast.


7. What was the best thing that happened to you this week?
-Seeing my three-year old read simple words.


8. What was the worst thing that happened to you this week?
-Thanks God there's none. =D


9. What do you think is the biggest difference between men and women?
-Their needs. And then, men are visual; women are emotional (generally).

Swingin' By

I didn't realized that it's already more than a month since my last post at Verb. Goodness, where was I all this time? *chuckles*

I really couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe it either that I used to be so addicted to blogging (and bloghopping, too!) that I missed lotsa meals, sleep, etc... before. But those were the days. Somehow, unexpectedly, I am miraculously cured of the addiction.

So if you're wondering what I've been up to these days, I've really been busy living out. Sometimes, it gets so hectic here that I wish for a quiet escape online. But I also have a ball making most out of Life - offline. :-)

Why I Hate Watching the News

Primetime news these days (at least on this side of the globe) is so toxic. Toxic, toxic, toxic...I rarely watch the news myself but some members of my family always do. And sometimes, I couldn't shield my son from these toxic information.

A couple of days ago, when I came home from work, my son declared:

Mama, *pointing at himself* I am Hayden Kho and you *pointing at me* are Katrina.

Jeezus!

He was in my arms while he said this and I swear I'd have dropped him then, if I were not sitting.

*the names mentioned are two people involved in a sex scandal in my country*

Advance Happy Mother's Day

The country is still celebrating Pacquiao’s big win last Sunday. The print and broadcast media (and the blogging community too) are all talking about him. But why not. Pacman is one big newsmaker indeed and he always makes the Filipinos happy with his conquests in the boxing arena. I can just imagine how jubilant his family must be with this recent victory. I bet Aling Dionisia must be the proudest and happiest mother in Las Vegas these days. The victory must have been an advance Mother’s Day gift to her. *grin*

Now speaking of Mother’s Day, I’m so stumped as to what I’m going to give my mother this weekend. I surely am no Pacquiao in terms of wealth (and strength) but I’d also like to give “something” to my mother on Mother’s Day. The only thing is, I still don’t know what that “something” would be. *smile* I’m actually deciding whether to buy her a gift myself or to give her the resources to buy herself a gift. But I'm leaning on the latter.

Now how about you, what are you giving your mother (or the mother of your kids) on Mother’s Day? Are you picking up a book for her? Or a new car perhaps? Jewelry?

For those of you who are looking into jewelry gift items, Gemz N Gold, a designer and manufacturer of high quality jewelry in California USA has a wide collection of eye-catching designs that will surely capture every woman's heart. So why not say Happy Mother's Day with these diamond-studded pieces?

I'd have given my mother one of these too if only she's fond of jewelry (but she's not). BTW, as Mother's Day offer, Gemz N Gold is including a red jewelry box for your every purchase of jewelry on or before May 11, 2009.

(To all moms out there: Happy Mother's Day!)

Easy Win By Pacquiao

Oh I know. I know others are already posting about this very same topic but being a big Pacquiao fan, I can't help but blog about the Pacman-Hatton that has just recently concluded (like a couple of minutes ago! hehe).

It all seemed unreal but at Round 2, Pacman cleverly and officially brought Hatton down! *big grin*

I was honestly surprised as I had high expectations of Hatton prior to the fight. But sadly, he didn't deliver the punches that I (and maybe Pacman) had expected. His lack of performance was really unexpected and that at the early part of the fight, somehow I already knew who'd win it.

But what a win! Congrats to Pacquiao and his team.

So so Love X-men Origins: Wolverine

On with my movie exploits (what a term! To be honest, I've seen only a few but with my busy sked the count is pretty surprising to me), I forgot to mention this before but I just have to blog that I've seen the leaked copy of X-men Origins: Wolverine earlier this month (okay, who didn't?).

Okay, I don't intend to make a spoiler post but lemme just say that I totally, totally love it that I would love to see it again on the Silverscreen. If you've not seen it, I believe it's better to see it on the big screen.

I wonder when it will hit the movie theaters here but I'll wait as I'm sure it will be worth the wait. As for other countries, I've read on Wiki the ff release dates:


United Kingdom: April 29, 2009
Australia & New Zealand: April 30, 2009
United States & Canada: May 1, 2009

Hila-Lohan

Have you seen Lindsay Lohan's eHarmony video? So hilarious...

Lindsay Lohan's eHarmony Profile from Lindsay Lohan

Oh sheez, I just realized that I wrote 2 posts with Lilo in the middle of it all. And yeah I am sticking to my initial comment that I'm not a fan. Hehe.
