I am the boy's "wolf!!!" cry...

FHM came out with their top 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll results in their latest issue...(note to self : go buy FHM on the way home today). Here are the top 10. I'll go from 10 > 1 and comment on each as I go along. I usually define in terms of hotness...not really sexiness, cuz sometimes, I don't know if I have a full grasp on that. Like I used to wonder how people said, some people can be not very attractive but give off a sexy vibe...but I think I kinda get it now. So I'll make an attempt here:(I would've inserted pictures, but I haven't set up my flicker acct yet, so I can use it for webhosting as my villagephotos has run out of space, AND I'm already taking off enough time at work to write this as it is, he he he):
10. Teri Hatcher
I used to think she was so hot and sexy, like 10 years ago, when she used to be on Lois and Clark, and when she did this one movie, I thin it was called Heavens Angels or something. She still looks practically the same though, , but I think she's like 50 already...
9. Carmen Electra
Carmen is pretty hot. Well, she's a playboy girl, and most of the time, they're pretty sexy. I think she could be higher than 9 compared to the other people on this list...
8. Maria Sharapova
The only athlete to make the top 10, quite impressive. Athletic sex-appeal is always good. She reminds me of someone else though, I can't seem to put my finger on it...
7. Jenny McCarthy
Okay, I think Jenny got voted in on sheer exposure. She does have a nice body and all, but i don't think she's "sexy." Probably because I think she's so annoying...she really is. I don't think you can be annoying and sexy...but what do I know.
6. Halle Berry
I can see this one. I used to not be able to get over the fact that she had a mustache in this one movie and everytime I saw her, that would be the first thing I saw, but it's been a while since that's happened. 6 though? Not really sure...
5. Keira Knightley
I like her. I like the accent too :) A little on the thin side, but hey, that's what everyone wants to be nowadays.
4. Jessica Simpson
I thought this HAD to be an error when I first read it. No frickin way. I really don't think this girl is sexy...probably most of all because of her mouth...it's too big in my opinion. Plus, she's annoying too. But for her to be FOUR??? Come on! Who did they poll?
3. Jessica Alba
Personally, I think SHE should be numero uno. She's hot. Period. I wonder if she has a blog site...
2. Angelina Jolie
Last year's #1 didn't do so bad by still getting the runner-up spot. Angelina is definitely sexy.

and the NUMBER ONE sexiest woman in the world is....(drum roll please...)
1. Scarlett Johansson
She is somewhat sexy, but I just don't see her in the top 10. I just don't see it(probably to Cicely's surprise, considering she's a blond, he he he). Nonetheless, I tip my hat off to Scarlett. Congratulations!

back to work...doo dee doo

Happy Saint Paddy's Day everyone!!!

MARATHON is THIS WEEKEND! I'm starting to freak out a little bit! omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg....

Okay, time to go home...

In honor of this little green holiday, may I greet you all w/ the traditional Irish blesssing:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I am a few days away...

I'm starting to get more nervous and excited about the marathon with each passing day. Right now, the countdown is 4 days! I started getting concerned about some knee problems I'm having and some arch problems as well, and while it's too late to go see my orthopaedic specialist about some solutions, so I'll have to go w/ some part-time ones and hope for the best. I'll go to him after. The distance is still a very daunting number in my head...26.2...man oh man...MAN!

I had to stop by at the grocery store to pick up some salad stuff on my way to beeb's last Fri. I ended up being at Ralph's for like 45 minutes...why? Because there was this long ass line. But that's not what I wanted to write about... There was this lady in front of me with a big ass cart of ish, and she didn't offer to let me and my one single item go in front of her. Granted, there were like another 5-6 people behind me, but still... That's not what I wanted to write about either, he he he. So the big ass cart lady...the cashier finally finishes scanning up her stuff, total was like 170 something...she opens her purse and brings out a HUGE wad of.....COUPONS!!! I was like, wtf man!!! But wait I had to, so I did. DUDE, she freakin cut down her cost from that 170 something to 87 bucks!!! Freakin insane...it took forever and we were all a little irked...BUT, we were a little impressed too. So I'm gonna try to cut some coupons for my next grocery trip. I bought the sunday paper(cuz that's where I heard she got them from). Started cutting...we'll see how much I save...more to come about this later...

Damn, freakin SONY. They delayed the release date of the PS3. I wouldn't have been able to afford it anyway, so I guess it's kindof a blessing in disguise...

Run run run!

I am a strange weather day...

It's been kindof a strange week for me. I hung out w/ 2 of my cousins. Well, one is more of a family friend-type cousin, but my family and their family have been good friends all my life. The other is a 2nd cousin, as I don't have any of my 1st cousins in the states. Anyway, yeah, I hung out w/ them. It was pretty cool. I got to catch up and chat with them and find out what was going on in their lives. So it got me thinking...I never really saw myself to be a big family guy...meaning, like someone who hangs out with their cousins all the time. A lot of people I know, even Cicely, have big families that get together alot. I guess that's one of the drawbacks to really only having my most immediate family, and a small one at that. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, and I would never trade them in, but I have to admit that I do get a little envious of those big big families that have all these crazy get-togethers with all the cousins and stuff. It's so cool to see. Well, that's how my life would be in the Philippines, but I'm not in the Philippines...I'm here. And I have 2nd cousins and 3rd cousins and family friends and stuff, but we all never really really hung out.

It's always good to see old friends. Aside from visiting 2 of my cousins this week, I got to see some old friends yesterday, one of them being one of my great friends and mentors, Father Pat, from UCI interfaith. It is always so good to see him, and after we talk and catch up, he always makes things brighter for me, cuz he gets me to put my life into perspective, and I realize how happy and how blessed I am. I miss being able to talk to Father Pat on a regular basis. We used to go out to breakfast or have lunch together more often back then, but then of course, I lived in Irvine. As long as we can get together once in a while, it's good enough for me.

You know how it's so hard to get a house in California because of the ridiculous housing prices? We should all move out to some boondock community and start our own city. We could be self-sufficient, just find someone from every trade and have all of our necessary jobs covered. It would be dope!

...last weekend of long runs. I missed my 6 earlier this week, so i'ma do it tonight, and then my 8 tomorrow...and then, it's the big countdown to the marathon! KRIKEY!

I am a loss for words...

I don't think I really use my blog as an outlet for all my emotion like people do. I kinda say what bugs me, and what's goin on, and good things...but never when I'm really mad, or irritated. I know I wrote one really emotional entry when pop had his stroke, which is about 3 years ago now...but since then, i've never really posted when I'm mad or venting, or whatever. I just don't think it's for me. Not that I'm watching who's reading my entries...well, at least when I'm mad(he he he), I just don't think venting through writing is therapeutic for me like it is for others. Rather, I think going for a drive or going running or praying is more my thing. Or...I just vent to Cicely, he he he. I think it's kinda cool that some of my friends can totally use their online journals, or written journals for that matter, as modes for venting frustration and anger. Some write in private, some post it on the public forum for all to read, not caring what people think. I think both are equally cool. Expressing emotion is healthy right? So why not?

In light of the above topic...I got into thinking....
You know what bothers me sometimes? Well, not sometimes, I guess just bothers me period...is that people can be so deluded about things, like trying to justify that just are not right. I mean, I remember this thing on TV one time, I forget what show it was, but some girl was hookin up with some guy, that was already in a relationship. But they were already on the rocks and their relationship was doomed anyway. Just because the relationship is already headed for the toilet, still doesn't make it right. Someone is still cheating, no matter how one tries to spin it. And I used to think that this stuff happened just on TV, but it doesn't. It happens all around man, it's kinda crazy. I mean, of course we all want to be able to say that what we are doing is the right thing, but hey, everyone can't be right all the time. I'm not really going anywhere with this, just wanted to say how it bothered me.

Oh yeah, I wanted to blog about this earlier but I didn't have time, since I took off work early. Beeb took me to HOB in Anaheim yesterday to see the ever-energetic, multi-talented, often-imitated-but-never-duplicated....Jamie Cullum. Man, that dude rocked the house! Not only is he talented, but his entire band is... He did this radio hip/hop medley that was awesome, and their drummer just walked around the set making beats out of everything...mics, keyboards, the floor, etc. And that's just to name a few. I thoroughly thoroughly THOROUGHLY enjoyed that show. Thanks soooo much beeb! YOU rock!!!!

I am the first day...

Man, March already? Time is really zipping by...speaking of time...my cousin Jonah e-mailed me this a few weeks ago after her Debut. She's so funny...I can't even remember that pic anymore.

I think I was like 8 or 9 here...crazy

Yay, the pictures are up. Villagephotos finished their transfer to their new servers sometime after midnight last night. Of course the free accounts got affected the most before it was complete. I need to get that Flickr acct already.

We freakin lost our playoff game last night. Just a combo of bad shooting and too many turnovers...we're like the Lakers on their off nights man. So frustrating to know we have a solid team, but can't win sometimes. Anyway, while I was packing my stuff in my car to go home, I saw some of the dudes smoking after the game. I remember when I was running that I could see some people smoking before their games too. I really don't know how I used to do that. I still get winded after playing nowadays and I used to smoke a lot back then. Before games, shooting around outside, after...I really am flabbergasted(sp?). How did I ever do it...seriously.

It begins
So in the spirit of Fat Tuesday, I had my last fast food meal. I had a hard time narrowing it down. I was torn between a Carne Asada from Taco Sinaloa, Yoshinoya, and McDonald's. Because Taco Sinaloa and both Yoshinoya were out of my way, I decided on McDonald's. Plus, I could get more variety, unless of course, I had chosen to get something from each place, but hey, I didn't want to be a total glutton and kill myself. So McDonalds it was...and 25 minutes later(freakin line at McD's at 10PM-I should've just gone to one of the other two places), I ended up with a Big Mac, large fries, and 6-piece mcnuggets. Man, it was sooo good. I had some left over corned beef from lunch, which I had w/ my fries...dude, that was good as combo. Never tried it before, but I'm glad I did, he he he. I ended up staying up til past 1 o'clock cuz of that ish...and now I will feel it...esp since I have an 8-mile run today and I'm limited to only 1 meal and small snacks for sustinence.

Intergalactic Planetary, Planetary Intergalactic
You know how buying a home in Souther Cali can be so damn expensive? Why not buy some land on the Moon and Mars and live there instead? It's only like 30 bucks! Ha ha ha, check this out...I never thought there'd be a market for Real Estate on other planets. Sometimes I laugh at how some think everything is theirs to own.
