The Jerry Yan fever

I am no fan of Jerry Yan, but we've got lots of F4 stuff at home. And instead of my sister and I fantasizing over this 26 year-old Taiwanese, my Mom goes crazy over his videos, songs, movies, and shows. She even plans to have one corner of her room filled with Jerry Yan stuff. She watches Channel 8 (Myx) every morning and waits for the daily top ten videos where Jerry Yan's new song "Gravity" is on the top spot. It seems like she never gets tired of looking at the man's face. Hoo
Yesterday we went to the Alabang Town Center to buy passes for a Jerry Yan event (to be held in Makati). In order to get a pass, you have to buy 7 Jerry Yan collection shirts from Bench. (And of course, my mom bought 7 shirts! "Lucky" day for the (our) boys!) My sister and I were just staring at her as she made the attendants look for a size of one shirt, and another. Aw, I really can't believe it. She was willing to spend that much money for a pass to see that guy whose face she already saw almost a thousand times on TV and whose voice she's heard for almost eternity (hehe) at our house and in dad's car? [She should have given me the money, and I should have bought jeans or a shirt instead, haha selfish] She did buy me a green skirt, and it was cute (it was on sale, from PhP 429, we had it for only PhP 199).
Sorry, Im not in the mood for blogging, my thoughts are so unorganized.
Bye for now

nothing extra-ordinary

This year's sem break is boring. I do the same routine everyday: Wake up, eat breakfast, watch tv, eat lunch, take a shower, go out with mom to Cabuyao, Laguna, then go home using dad's car. I can feel the calories starting to add up to a pound. Oh no. (Fact! I already lost about 60 pounds since last sem break.) haha
Well, at least I found one thing worth doing. Last night I decided to read the Bible daily. I made a comittment to read 10 verses each day. I started reading Philippians 1 last night, and I tell you, it really made me feel great. I know I should have started reading the Bible years before. It is a shame to admit, but I grew up in a Christian family and church ( and yet I haven't finished reading all the 66 books of the Bible).
I realized all these things when I finished reading "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. I borrowed it from s churchmate, Ate Joyce, who used it for a book report in school. I have heard things about the book before I got hold of it, and mostly those comments were negative. Imagine a secret society hailing Mary Magdalene because they believe that she's the wife of Jesus Christ! It was a shock. Dan Brown was a great writer, no doubt. The book was a page turner (I finished reading it in 5 days (for 3 hrs each day)). But the ideas in it are just unbelievable and absurd.
I would really like to say a few more things, but my time's running out. (I'm in Cabuyao, Laguna right now, and my parents might be already waiting for me)
Bye for now!
