i can't wait to get my hands on a digital camera. i need one. forgive me for my being outdatedness, but it was just last thursday night when the wonder of digital cameras finally sank in. anyway, i envy my cousins because they have almost everything (material and otherwise) that i want-- billiards table, mahjong table, table tennis table, a new house, pc with cd writer, a newly-acquired air hockey table, dvds, my ps2, and the list goes on. can someone be generous enough to gift me one, and a cd-writer?

last thursday night, for my television studies class, we watched this reality tv show from nbc called for love or money. although i don't really feel thrilled watching reality as much as other people do, but this got me hooked. the mechanics of the game is similar to the bachelor and the bachelorette. so for the first season, there were tons of girls and just one guy who chooses who gets eliminated or not. so each girl has her chance of making the guy (his name is rob) fall in love with her for her not to get eliminated. so towards the end, when there is only one girl left (which was erin), the show doesn't end yet. rob gets to choose between the girl (erin) or one million dollars. since he liked the girl, he chose erin... but, erin chooses the money over him.

so here comes the second season, this time, it's the other way around. erin comes back and becomes the girl who chooses over the guy contestants. (our teacher only showed this part in this class.) during the episode where there were only three guys left, rob came back. yup, the guy who actually was rejected by the same girl on national television. so there, he stayed for one more episode, and eventually was rejected again for the second time, by the same girl, on the same show. when there were only two guys left na lang, our killjoy teacher had to turn the vcr off since it was time for lecture. damn it. try watching it over the net. my descriptions might merely be understatements.

last night, i had a great time with my cousin and my aunt. it was my second time to shop at the world trade center bazaar by worldbex for bantay bata. however, before i felt the pleasure, there was pain. since i was the one driving. the traffic was so bad, there was no parking slots, and at the same time, the parking slots in the location was awful-full of dead ends without signs, the stupid guards collecting money even before getting a slot, and giving out so many tickets without knowing that the parking was already full. good thing that the bazaar closes late at midinight. anyway, the bad thing was almost everything that i returned for was sold out, and the people there were asking me to come back again either today or tomorrow. i don't have the luxury of time. also, i regret not getting the fake girbaud wallet for only 150 bucks, and at the same time, the green silky feel shirts that are factory overruns of old navy and gap. the west ice that was so cheap that i plan to sell in school and make a living out of it and to give to my smoker friends ran out of stock too. the sponge bob slipper socks was sold out too. darn it. but nevertheless, it was still fun. we arrived at the venue at around 2015h and spent thirty to forty-five minutes for seeking a parking slot, and we left world trade center at say twenty minutes to midnight. bought my brother a coca-cola baseball bat. i want one too.
