#DU30SONA

Manila Bulletin was kind enough to compile some of our President's lines during yesterday's SONA. This is for all the 'busy' people who didn't get to catch the speech live and doesn't have time to watch it online yet. Basically, people like me hehe. 

By the way, these lines aren't in order and I have no idea which one came first. Not that it matters anyway...

My favorite. Because hugot. Haha

This one I love too. Because bashers. lol

Throwback Thursday: Batch Probers

Once my high school Research teacher finds out that I had all the time in the world to make this blog entry instead of sending a reply to her Facebook message, all hell will break loose. However, there is a very slim chance she knows about this whole world called Blogger. Sorry Ma'am F! 

Anyhoo, there is a reason why I suddenly unearthed these photos from the old and dusty baul. The annual homecoming is happening in a few days and my friends and I are going to pull off a no-show. So here's a letter from my friends/batchmates and I:

Dear teachers and fellow alumni, 

      We won't be able to participate in this year's events. So in behalf of my beautiful and handsome

      batchmates, can I interest you in a set of throwback photos? Hehe

Here's an Octave original: a hilarious caricature of all her classmates! Haha. We belong to the Bato section or as we'd like to call it, the ROCKers. You can find me in there somewhere but I won't give any clues. ;) 

The iconic Episode shoot with the Bebz! (minus Raruy, Riza and mommy). There's no photoshoot ever more epic than the P180 package from Episode! 6 wallet sized copies. Two 4Rs. One blowout picture. Thank you Episode for all your services. You are missed. 

RISE

The Rio Olympics is in a few weeks and Katy just released this NBC anthem for this year. Brilliant. Inspiring. Goosebumps-inducing.

Also and most importantly, this song (and her tweet) is a very timely subtle sideswipe in the thick of this whole Taylor-Kim-Kanye saga.

Genius.

Never change, Katy. Never change.

The Nathan Riggs Effect

Haaaaayyyyy.

Why does this post makes me all giddy?! It's been months since the last episode of season 12 and I still feel so very kilig at the thought of #Merriggs. (Okay I'm not sure what their official hashtag is) I knew this was coming the first time this unassuming and ruggedly handsome guy walked into that ER! And I am so over the moon that after all the drama Shonda Rhimes has put me through this season (all the seasons actually), they finally had their chance!

You have no idea how emotionally invested I am with this series. This has been my longest relationship so far haha! I mean I LOVED team MerDer so much and I cried buckets and more when McDreamy was killed off, but I have come to terms with them not having their happy ending after a whole lot of denial and bargaining stages on twitter.

So it's finally time for #Merriggs. Uhmm I am waaaay ahead of myself here but here's to hoping this 'boat' will finally sail because I SHIP IT!
