VITAMINS FOR MARCH MADNESS

I went grocery shopping today, and as usual,
i had to get some Vitamin Water.

I was craving for REVIVE and noticed the
copy had changed...something for March
Madness was on the bottle ~

I'm not an NCAA fan at all (or NBA), but
I guess REVIVE was the flavor of choice.

is it just us or does life seem to go into
overtime during NCAA "March Madness"? whether
you're a freshman or senior (citizen), student
or armchair coach, cringing over 64 games of
buzzer beaters and bracket-busting upsets can
take its toll.

so if you are studying up on your selections
(uh, we mean biology) or at work tracking your
bracketology (minimize-your boss is coming!),
revive to survive with this bottle. it's
packed with the b vitamins and potassium (as
much as a banana!) you need to bounce back from
March Madness...without actually going bananas.

VITAMINS & BALANCE

Ralphs actually had BALANCE on sale!!

I wasn't sure how I'd like the taste
of Cranberry & Grapefruit ~ but it
actually was mild and nice tasting.

recommended for:

gymnasts, ballerinas, tight-rope walkers,
people who do yoga, clowns who ride
unicycles while juggling chainsaws, ninjas,
peg-legged pirates and/or individuals
simply requiring equilibrium in their lives.

one sip, swig or gulp may result in
boycott of other beverages.

vitamins + water = all you need

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Duplicity

We didnt plan on watching this movie today. We
were actually going to watch I Love You Man, but
when we got to the theatre, we found out that they
cancelled the showing because something was wrong
with the film.

Maybe it's a sign. That ILYM was going to be
bad. Oh, well. I hope that they get a better
quality film for next week. Unless we decide
to see another movie instead.

Anyways, we were pleasantly suprised with the
movie. The "twist" in the end was really nice
and I did not see it coming. Clive Owen is very
sexy in the movie ... and Julia Roberts was great
as usual.

I'm kinda interested in reading the script.

Amercian Idol Lost ... and Lost

I'm soo glad Anoop is still in American Idol.
He was by far the best performance on Tuesday.

I really can't stand Adam Lambert ~ he really
isn't "singing" in my opinion. Alexis Grace
should have stayed .. and not have lost.

SPEAKING OF LOST:

Why isn't Sun "living' in the same year
as Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid.

And why is Locke (alive) in the same group
as her ~ questions, questions, questions!!

I just want to know how long Sawyer & Juliet
have been "living" together ~ I still want him
to be with Kate.

BRING BACK MORE SUPERNATURAL THINGYS ~

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Race To Witch Mountain

It's another Wednesday, which means its another movie
night. The only "worthy" movie to watch today was
Race To Witch Mountain.

I remember watching Escape To Witch Mountain, many, many
years ago ~ and was interested on how this movie was
going to turn out.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was also in it, so we
were excited to see him. I was just hoping Carla
Gugino would have a better character (im still
trying to clean out any Watchman memories)~

Anyways, the three of us were the only NON Parent
& kids in the theatre. Most of the laughs came
from the kids.

Overall .. it was a nice "family" movie ... I could
have waited until it went on DVD.

Friday The 13th

I just looked at the calendar year and realized
that there are 3 Friday the 13th ~

I've never been superstitious about "this day" ~
just think its kinda "cool" that it exist. It's
odd too that some high rise buildings don't have
an official "13th" floor and skip it and have a
"14th" floor instead. Same as room numbers ~
some places skip a room#x13!!!

When I have a business of my own, on this "rare"
occurance ... it'll be a day off ...

Letdowns & Eliminations

I was really looking forward to the elimination
episode for American Idol tonight ~ I really hope
the twist they had for today was that the judges
are going to be the ones deciding who of the
bottom two was going to leave.

Very disappointed to know that it was going
to be for just ONE save .. until the top 5.
Then two people gets eliminated in the next
episode.

Anyways ... I'm glad the Anoop wasn't eliminated
but was sad the Megan also stayed. Just wondering
in what order the bottom four was??
4. Anoop
3. Megan
2. Jorge
1. Jasmine

This was kind of a letdown ~ I just hope Anoop
has a better performance next week. I was kind
on upset that when Alexis performed, the judges
had just one word comments. And Paula's "don't
oversing" comment ... why didnt she say that to
Adam after his performance. Because if anyone
was oversinging .. it was him.

Do I even want to continue the whole season??

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: Watchmen

I had "no choice" on what movie to see today.

If it was up to me it would have either been
Paul Blart or Hotels For Dogs. After watching
most of the good movies out, Watchmen would
be the next one to watch.

But why was I not really looking forward to this.
I love superhero movies ~ but I really do not know
who the Watchmen are.

I did not like this movie! It was WAY TOO LONG!
Didn't mind the violence ~ the "superhero" sex scene
was probably put in the movie to "wake up" people
who were probably falling asleep ~ did not need to
know 30 minutes (seemed like it) back story of
Dr. Manhattan and how Rorschach got his mask was
never explained.

I felt for a movie that lasted for close to 3 hours,
it seem incomplete, just remove all dialogue and
keep the score and soundtrack maybe I wouldn't have
mind. The long expository dialogue just annoyed me.

WHEN IT HAPPENS

Tonight and tomorrow are lottery nights, and
I just realized that when I win, I'm going to
have a problem on where exactly to put the
money when it happens.

Most of the banks only secure up to $250,000 ~
what do i do when i open up as many accounts
possible ... I don't think I want to put more
than that in each of them.

Stuff the money under the mattresses??

I hear that there is an increase of sales
for Safes ~ maybe I could buy one of those.

I love movies that has a safe hidden behind
a picture frame or somewhere in the basement
or attic.

I wonder if they come in Pink.

Rerun.Rewind.Replay

I need to stop wasting my time watching Reruns
of Gilmore Girls and Jon & Kate Plus 8

I should really focus on writing & reading.

What I'm enjoying though is American Idol Rewind.
Thank goodness for the TV GUIDE channel for
bringing back Season 4 with Bo Bice!

I never knew his real name was Harold!!

I was watching reruns (ugh) of ABDC and when
I heard Pon de Replay I
wanted to be able to shake Rhianna and tell her
that she doesnt need Chris Brown and listen to
Oprah!!

Daylight Savings

I never understood the purpose of Daylight Savings Time.

Spring Forward. Fall Backwards.

WHY, WHY , WHY??

We never had to change time in Guam. I remember
whenever my older sister and brother living in
California would call us in Guam, I would ask
what time was it there:

California 2:30pm on Sunday ~
Guam 7:30am on Monday ~

So ... Fall arrives ... and instead of Guam being
17 hours in advance, we were just 16 hours ahead!!

Now I'm living in California and I have to remember
to change the clocks. Lose an hour of sleep too.

Chocolate Temptation

Several kids in my apartment complex went door to door
selling chocolate bars for fundraising ... I think it
was to go to Catalina Island or something.

I gave up chocolate for Lent!!

What was I suppose to do??

The three of them were really sweet, and I don't
know if I was just mesmarized with all the
selections that they had, how could I have
passed. What would I have said to them.

Then I thought ... almsgiving ... so I gave in
and bought 3 bars ... its a good cause ... and
I could lock them up and wait until Easter.

I DID NOTHING WRONG, SINCE I DID NOT CONSUME
ANYTHING.

Singing & Dancing

Congratulations to Anoop!

I'm sooo glad (and suprised) that there is going
to be a TOP 13 on American Idol. When Jasmine was
selected ... I thought no!! Not a decision between
Anoop and Matt!! Then the judges said they picked
Matt ... and Simon started to talk to Anoop ... and
I knew it ... there was going to be a "twist" ~ I
was HAPPY, HAPPY.



Congratulations to Quest Crew!!

I guess voting "nonstop" everyday worked!!

IDOL STUFF ... INGS

I knew it!!!

I knew who would get the votes for the
last three spots for the "Top 12"



I really think Lil Rounds had deserved
one of the spots. But I think Jorge and
Scott just got the votes for "Emotional"
impact.

I mean SCOTT ... he WASN'T that great!!
Sorry, I know that he is blind, but if
you closed your eyes (sorry) and really
listened to his voice, it was just a
regualar guy singing. And the judges,
they didnt say YOU HAD GREAT VOCALS
TONIGHT ... ~ symphathy votes, i'm telling
you. Everyone else was judged on their
vocals ... he was judged on his disability.

Jorge was BETTER than Scott. But I think
the whole "accent" issue maybe got votes
for him.

The two people who I felt should have locked
in the spots was Felicia and Ju'Not ~

THEN CAME THE SUPRISE OF THE NIGHT:

The list of performers for the "Wild Card"
round ~ and I'm "..ing" upset of the the
peeps that made it and peeps that didn't.

1. Tatiana (what!)
2. Anoop / Megan / Matt (YES!)
3. Felicia & Ju'Not (you've been robbed)

MOVIE WEDNESDAY: CORALINE

I had wanted to see the "regular" version of
this movie, and not the 3D version ... We
were out of luck!!

AMC THEATRES kept the 3D version but not the
regular one.

I should have saved my "Free Ticket" and used
it for this movie instead. The 3D version was
$2 more ~ oh well ~ I saved money not buying my
Buncha Crunch today.

Anyways, I thought the movie was alright. I
like animation ... but I found some scenes
quite distrubing, and found myself cringing.

1. HUGE breasted character
2. "nudity"
3. "violence"

It was interesting ... I might buy it for my
collection.

DREAM BIG

Dear Universe,

It's another BIG JACKPOT for the Mega Millions!!

I think that I'm probably asking you for
the wrong things!!

I should TELL you what I'm planning on GIVING
to people .. not what I should be RECEIVING.

LET ME JUST BREAK IT DOWN:

The JACKPOT is at $212 Million ~
The CASH VALUE is $137.8 MILL ~
Then AFTER TAX is $103,350,000 MILL LEFT!!

1) 5 million for each of my brothers & sistes
5 X 7 = $35 million

2) $250,000 for each of my nieces & nephews
when they reach 18 years old ~
X 18 = $4.5 million

3) Upon Completion of College/Higher Education
All 18 "kids" get $1 million each ~
$18 Million TRUST FUND for them ~

4) MY MOM GETS $5 MILLION FOR HERSELF

5) $500,000 For Hanna ~ the first GREAT GRANDCHILD
She'll receive this when she turns 18 years

6) I'll set aside another $5 MILLION should more
kids be born into the family

7) $2 MILLION goes to R.L. since we made a pact to
give each other $$ if one of us wins the lottery.

8) $10 MILLION SPREAD AMONG 10 CHARITIES
(I have yet to think of all of them)

9) $10 MILLION FOR A FAMILY ENDOWMENT FOUNDATION
Where my family will choose to create scholarships
to give out throughout the years ~

11) $1 MILLION to give out to people at work

12) $1 MILLION For "The House" in California

13) $950,000 set aside to own a bookstore

14) AND $10 MILLION FOR MY OWN FINANCIAL SECURITY

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE ~

March Resolutions

Okay.

Must accomplish several goals.

I should have finished reading about
4 books during last month, but only
finished ONE!!

I read the book in a weeks time,
but got really lazy during the end
of the month.

I know I'm crazy to do some recreational
reading, when I'm suppose to be writing
and finishing the novel.

I was thinking of joing some kind of
workout class also. Yoga/Pilates ~
But I don't want too much money when
I already have DVDs. I just think with
a class setting, I'll be able to really
DO SOMETHING!

Giving (UP)

Yes!!!!

I blogged the whole month of February!!

March has a nice theme: Giving (UP)

Since its LENT I'm trying had to GIVE UP
chocolate ~

For almsgiving ... I really should try
to tip the baristas in Starbucks & maybe
at the BBQ place that I get my takeout.
Have not been giving a tip to places that
I order take-out ... should I? Since I'm
not actually dining in.

I would like to do some community service.
But I don't know if I'll have the extra
time.

For now ... DAILY BLOGGING STARTS AGAIN!
