Things that make me smile

- If there's one good thing that came out of this whole Gloriagate scandal it would be the fact that I get see Francis Escudero's gorgeous face on TV almost on a nightly basis. haha! yes, you read that right. I have been a closet Chiz Ecudero fan since I saw him on TV during the last elections, he being FPJ's spokesman and all. I even started listening to his radio show on the AM band on my way home. Unfortunately, he's rarely there because of those sessions. But anyway, all's good since I get to see and hear him on TV. haha!

- Every week I look forward to new episoded of Xmen and Love Letter, 2 Korean variety shows that my sisters and I are really addicted to. The shows feature Korean celebrities and make them do funny stuff. Like for Xmen, they are divided into 2 teams and they all compete against the other in hillarious stunts at the same time trying to figure out who the Xman is (the person who regardless of the team they are assigned to tries to do his/her best to make his/her own team lose). Games vary from obstacle races, butt pushing, tounge twisters, putting people on the spot by saying stuff they have to say yes to (whatever it may be), and to the very physical horse game where people jump on the guys' backs to make them buckle and end up losing.

Love letter on the other hand is sort of like a "dating game" between celebrities. Season 1 started with a bunch of guys competing to be the "Perfect Man" that the lone girl would choose in the end. The second season then had a bunch of girls and guys and they would all vote only 1 from the opposite sex to be the "Perfect One." Then after a couple of eps, the show changed to a free for all where everyone can be a part of a "Perfect Couple" as long as your beloved fancies you as well and a bit too scripted (but still fun).

The shows are hard to explain but if you watch one episode you will surely get hooked.

- Getting to work early. Why? Because it usually means that my boss has yet to arrive and I have a few minutes to check the deluge of forums that i joined and try to dl all the new stuff online. :)

- Eating a meal that had either Shrimps/ prawns and/or crabs. ahhhh!! gastronomical heaven!

- Seeing gasoos that i like doing doing things that are out of the ordinary from the persona they have cultivated for themselves. Like Jo Sung Mo being such a jock on TV shows, Tablo dancing (coz he's such a "serious" rap artist) etc.

- the doorbell sound of Yahoo Messenger. Because it means that a friend wants to chat with me and makes me feel "wanted." haha!!

- watching shows on Matinal Geographic. I rarely flip to this channel because I'm not much into animal documentaries, but lately I have discovered that they do have some interesting specials on Egyptian mummies, Interpol, and the Da Vinci code. Now I get to watch shows that interest me and seem like an intellectual coz they are on National Geographic. (^-^)

- staying at home all day on a weeked and just vegging out in front of the TV or the computer.

- watching marathon episodes of CSI (even the 2 spin-offs), Amazing Race, Survivor, Love Shack, Outback Jack

- watching Oprah's "My Favorite Things" episode, wherein she gives away a whole bunch of cool stuff to the lucky audience and makes me cry in anguish because I want the stuff to be given to me too!
