Marko Jaric and Adriana Lima
He's kinda crosseyed...said one blog visitor on Marko Jaric upon looking at some of the couple's paparazzi photos. I cannot believe he was Adriana's type! Well... I didn't think Heidi Klum would consider Seal... Adriana must have seen something beyond Marko's face. The two got engaged this year.
Where's Keanu? Others believe Marko was a cross between Keanu and uhm... it's hard to say this... McDreamy a.k.a. Patrick Dempsey (or the other way around). I think that's absolutely untrue! Although it may be right for Adriana...
Before: "I Wanna Be Like Mike" Now: "I Want to Be Like Marko" Just got this comment on Pinoy Exchange when a man admitted he was envious of Marko's catch. Good thing we (hopefully) wouldn't see another reversed jersey on the professional basketball scene.

Nadal: Sublime Spaniard - Wimbledon site
Several hours after enduring a 30-minute casualty over our gasoline-empty van trapped in the wilderness of Bacoor (SM Molino lang), I went online to browse websites about Rafael Nadal and his HUGE....... 2008 Wimbledon trophy.
It was for our sports journalism article. We were asked to write a feature about his winning streak on the world's most sought-after tennis championships.
When our female professor (note: don't underestimate girl power) stopped in front of us and said: "Gather materials about Rafael Nadal, you'll be writing a feature article about him next meeting," my face went from all smiles to HUWAAAAAT?!
Translation: WHO THE HELL is Rafael Nadal??? (note: the triple question marks). Sad to say, I don't have interests in tennis nor football. I know the game, thanks to nintendo and the family computer, but I don't know who's who in the tennis realm.
So I went on looking for Nadal and some write-ups and was glad to come across some photos ---- he wasn't that good-looking but he's got the bod. Whew! Muscles. And again, he should give credits to the grass court and all his opponents for giving him such great biceps.
And now here comes the unbelievable part. He was dubbed as "sublime". Whoa~where did Roger Federer went? The site should explain why Nadal qualifies for the sublime category of mortals on earth!!!
Let's present two of the members of the Sublime Gallery Hall of Fame: Beethoven and Jose Rizal, courtesy of Ms. Soriano from our Literary Criticism class. So where's Nadal? Wimbledon website says: INCOMING!
Try searching for his life story and maybe you'll be fascinated by his achievements. But for now, don't you think his Wimbledon trophy speaks enough?
Just reacted from the Wimbledon site remark.

Move over Coverboys, VANSENBUGOY is here!!!
It's not that I'm a Coverboys fanatic. It's because the new boy band has landed Philippine TV. Haha! I can't think of a better name other than VANSENBUGOY which is a combination of their names anyway. VANSENOY wouldn't sell these guys either. And I think giving them a name like Backstreet Boys or Nsync will make Mr. M or Mr. C mad.
Billie Crawford named them BUSENVAN which sounded like a bus and a van. Hmm. Sounds like I lack the creativity. It's better than VANSENOY but it still sounds like a... very alien name.
I was just so excited about their performance, I even kept some notes on last night's Pinoy Dream Academy episode. It would be good to dish it out with Ate Nao. Nikki and Apa couldn't keep up with my craziness over the BUGOY team. Haha!

A Day Without Sunshine... A Day Without a Melody...
Rick Astley may be coming in the Philippines but Englebert Humperdick's line came right in my head. And I blame my dad for it.
For once, I wanted to clear all academic stuff in my mind and live life like a normal person. Huwaat?!
The reasons:
THESIS
major essay about modern theories and the POETICS of (Manong) Aristotle
And more to come... (Specialized writing: wait-listed...)
Apa told me to listen to classical music for some inspiration.
So I have to download it. GREAT. Now I'm thinking of Menudo (Ricky Martin batch).
And my Limewire takes so much time and space off my age-old laptop.

A Book Containing Silent Hill Facts
A friend in high school posted an entry about a site containing Silent Hill-related materials on his multiply blog. The site includes "facts" about the Silent Hill game that are compiled in book available only in some parts of the globe.
Here's the link of his entry:
Enjoy!

When things suddenly get boring
No, it wasn't Kim Chiu.
Every semester, I select a particular course on our course list and make it my object of motivation to come to school everyday. The motivation thing lies not only on courses but also on school activities. Most of the time, it was only during the last days of the semester that I realize this particular activity or class got me going. There would always be two to three interesting things that I'll look forward to so I can still enjoy what I would be doing the next day. Of course, there would be some topics or courses (like Political Science) that would drain my energy, and worst of all, take away my interest to learn more. So what I do is to divert my attention to a certain activity or subject and make the most out of it. And that would solve my problem of boring classes, nerve-wracking recitations, bad taste, and poor professors, er, I mean worst teaching methods. The problem is this: I'm getting bored with the course lineup, the units, immobility ---- almost everything because I think the University doesn't deal properly with freedom.
One, I raise the issue of the spoon-fed courses. I take it that I'm not within the UP grounds to take some courses piece by piece according to my preference but I really think it's a student's right to enroll in the courses he wishes to understand deeply. Those courses he himself thinks will make a better him. Two, I discuss immobility. As you can see, the Journalism department failed to get a newsroom. And no one tries to fight for it. Add the wallflower TVs in each colleges within the University with that. Obviously, the practice of Journalism wasn't really seriously dealt with except for maybe three organizations in the whole campus. I certainly think there was only one. And someone even regarded the program as a center of excellence. The most essential things we need to learn cannot be learned in the four corners of a classroom.
It all started after our Literary Criticism class. I won't tell exactly what happened because someone might get hurt even if that one won't be mentioned in this entry. I keep on telling my roommates the course was so useless (hope I'm wrong) and that the amount of readings was irrelevant. Okay, maybe one of us will be literary critics some day but I really feel like it would be as disinteresting as it could get. Maybe this is just the fruit of some boring classes I've previously finished last semester. Or maybe some professors who fail at letting the students grow as they learn the way they were supposed to learn.
