Chris Brown Gave Rihanna Gifts? O_O

Here I am at my seat wondering and thinking why Rihanna would ever accept anything from Chris Brown on her birthday. There were reported items such as a DIAMOND BRACELET, a NECKLACE and an IPOD Touch. There were also reports that said she accepted it, and she plans to even talk to him. O_O WHAAAT?! After a bludgeoned face, nose and mouth you even want to talk to him?! OMG! That's not what you call LOVE IS BLIND... for me its what you call S2P1D Love... well I guess everyone's going through that but if you already were almost dead for cryin out loud that's just not right.

Well this may be also a plot to make Rihanna to take the blame and bring Chris Brown's career back. I'm not convinced though, but if this were really true I probably ought to give Rihanna a visit and let a professional psychiatrist also look at her. Its a crime to hurt people, let alone celebrities who have lots of fans.

Too Dry Today

Is it just me or is it not raining these past few weeks? I wonder why February seems a little bit dryer that usual because normally at this time of the year we still have a couple of typhoons left before it runs out to March, April and May which usually comprise the summer months.

Will we need more water soon because it has not been raining too much? I know we had some problems a couple of years ago when we did not have that much rain and the few catch basins we have like the La Mesa Water shed were at critical levels and everybody was doing their share in conserving water by making sacrifices on rations and water regulation by the utility companies. Since they all have been privatized we do not even have any say on their prices, so I fear most when a crisis happens because we might end up paying a higher price than the usual. If we ended up dried out like the Arizona Desert then it would be a good thing if we at least lived in Scottsdale Fine Properties because its much nicer there. Go figure!

The Day I Watched the Oscars

I arrived at home this morning (Manila Time) to watch the Oscars live at Velvet TV and to sum it up, I didn't find anything amusing. Well the red carpet was nice because there were a lot of celebrities I saw that were just PERFECT...they had perfect hair, face, and clothes. The gowns were outstanding....the suits were plain as always because that's what they are for. Some looked like emperor penguins and some very smart. I did hate the musical numbers but I applaud Hugh Jackman for the effort, I didn't know he could sing and dance like that hahahah.

The host for this evening was Hugh Jackman and I still have some AUSTRALIA movie jetlag since I watched him do that. I was not disjointed by him but even if he did a pretty good job hosting, the production numbers were just a little off. Scripted, yeah it was! but looking at the budget that was used for that, it probably was worth that amount. Times are hard I know but this is one of the least watched Oscars night I heard. It probably was a better huge hit in India because of Slumdog Millionaire but not in the US because it only jumped 6% from last year and this is the third least watched one. Imagine that. As with some of the worst dressed, I love Beyonce don't get me wrong...but why wear this???

Is this some form of DREAMGIRLS CAMOUFLAGE so she blends in with the rest of the statues and the background??? Come on! WAAAA!

The Greatest Speech

I'm not claiming to be an expert but I've received a lot of recognition and awards already for public speaking, oratorical, declamatory and choral competitions. I think a lot of that's got to do with my interest in the English language. The Philippines is the third largest English speaking nation in the world so I have no doubt we do it better here.

We are even much meticulous when it comes to grammar. I even corrected some of my Literature and Language teachers in High School and College. I don't stay put when I know something is wrong with what they teach because I stay pro active at all times. This is how I learn more because I only shut up when I don't know what it means generally. If I get the logic behind it, I might even explain things more complicated that what's said in books. Imagine that, I've been doing that for more than 20 years I guess. I don't regret it because it seems effective. I taught some of my friends even if I did not finish an educational course or have a license for teaching. My IQ is at 145 the last time I checked so that probably accounts for that. But if people don't have the guts to learn public speaking from me, there are numerous online services that they can go to these days. It's easier now because people can harness the power of the Internet. Visit http://www.survivingspeakingdisasters.com and check out how you can gain confidence, speak fluently and influence people. It is possible I know, because I did it already. Try it out too!
