the entry of gleeful quotes

by now, i'm sure everyone has caught onto the bandwagon of the whirlwind hit tv series that is glee. it's a culmination of high school musical-meets-mean girls with a tight script that's fun, funny and has heart. already, i've developed an irrepressible foible for the characters like self-idolizing sue sylvester, or emma pilsbury, whose case of ocd is a tad, well, obsessive. the series' gotten to me so much, everytime i hear i kissed a girl on the airwaves, i have half a mind to slap my thigh like how stutter-y tina does it in the series.

so here's a tribute with my top ten quotes from the show:

10. "your resentment is delicious". - sue

9. "anything less than a four-hundred thread count and i could break out into impetigo!" - sandy

8. "eavesdrop much?" - quinn

7. "i swear to you i will stick my fist so far down your throat you'll taste my armpit hairs!" - ken

6. "my body is like a rum chocolate souffle: if i don't warm it up right, it doesn't rise." - kurt

5. "we just sold all seventeen copies of your cd!" "i didn't even have to show any of them my bosoms!" - will's folks

4. "take what away?" - brittany, who else?

3. "who is josh groban? kill yourself!" - sandy

2. "i'll often yell at homeless people, 'hey, how's that homelessness working out for you? give not being homeless a try, huh?' " - sue

1. "have you ever liked somebody so much you just wanna lock yourself up in your room, turn on sad music and cry?" - rachel "no." - emma (segues into car scene of emma alone, crying and hysterically singing along to the stereo "all by myself")

the entry six months down the road

here's a video of my beloved nephew declan, who demonstrates a gamut of emotions, and he's just six months old! brilliant, isn't he? they say geniuses aren't made but born, and it runs in the family. i can't concur more.

the entry i love life

to quote motivational guru anthony robbins, "life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more." this couldn't be farther from the truth, yet many of us abandon ships when hopes are dashed, relationships are torn apart or reputability is tarnished. we wallow in self-pity, unwilling to step out of the abyss of downward spiraling, thus clouding our judgement and dipping our spirits.

if only we could stop for a moment and take a closer look at what is occurring around us and not just ourselves, we would then be able to discern that there are many amongst us who have taken a beating worse than us. nobody grasps this better than taiwanese host 陳建州 charles chen a.k.a 黑人. with the help of fellow celebs, he has brought about a campaign about cherishing one's life and embracing it with open arms. aptly titled "i love life", the campaign features a string of videos that poignantly features three young kids struck with terminal cancer, and makes you question yourself if you could possibly have it as bad as they did. 

i hope the videos, which are unfortunately available only in mandarin, strike a chord and inspires, because like so many others out there who have once relegated their hopes for living and thrown themselves into the throes of depression, i now love life too.

the entry about fallen beauty

oops! i did it again...

is falling on one's asses the latest tradition for syndicated tv programmes celebrating women's beauty and (lack thereof) brains?

for the second year in a row, miss usa busted her act by planting her ass cheeks firmly on the floor when she was doing her walk during the evening gown competition at the miss universe pageant. getting up and trying to clap it off didn't help much either, evidently, as crystal stewart from texas was whittled away after being in the top 10.

i am beginning to wonder if this slip-up is a trend for american beauty queens, the land of the free (falling)?
