After Thanksgiving weekend, i found out that the episode 11 of The Vampire Diaries won’t be airing til January 14th of 2010. Bummer! *sigh*. I was really very excited to watch the next episode to find out who the guy is when Elena crashed that night nd ofocurse on how the sotry will be portrayed on TV. I ahven’t read the books yet so every episode is really a surprise for me. I really like The Vampire Diaries. After the old time Buffy the Vampire Slayer, i’ve never liked anything else as much until The Vampire Diaries came out.

Season one is 22 episodes but The Vampire Diaries was only signed on for 10 to see the ratings of the show and if it was worth keeping and due to very good ratings and becoming The CW’s best performing show, it was announced that The CW had given the series a full, 22-episode first season on October 21, 2009.

It is said that you can catch The Vampire Diaries epic commencing on the 14th of December 2009. There will be two episodes shown every night for 5 days straight. So till then wait for The Vampire Diaries Episode 11 and have fun catching the missed episode! You can also watch it on The CW’s website.

I just decided to repost this article from Inquirer that i shared earlier in Twitter via PinoyTwitters.

…with proposal and wedding ring.

Did it get your attention? A lot of people did. This is about an ad a lady (Kelly O’very) put up in KSL where she offers a free jeep and an atv in exchange for marrying her. My husband found her ad 2 hours after she first posted it and we both think its a pretty cool ad and speaks a lot about the woman.

A copy of her ad can be found here, viewed by lots of people already. KSL News has also interviewed her and details of the news can be found here.

Some people posted on their websites/blogs about it and were kinda rude in describing her but anyway we think she and her ad is pretty cool and we hope she finds her man =)

I’ve got a new phone for free from T-Mobile. Its  Motozine and its pretty sweet. I like that it has a 5mp kodak camera, and slim lightweight design, a cool sweet look, user-friendly features, and cool features such as wifi and tv out.

So far the only problem i notice is with the wifi thingy which i’m yet to figure out why i can’t browse the web on it when i hooked it up to a hotel wifi and then the rotate feature where it says you can rotate images 90 degrees but somehow the output always ends up either facing left or right. I don’t know why.

Omigosh! I can’t believe it! My prediction for the top 3 actually came true! There’s Adam Lambert, Danny Gokey, and Kris Allen!!! I’m so happy! But ofcourse my choice for the top 1 or shall i say the next American Idol is none other than Adam!!! I love his version of Mad World the best! He’s such a great singer and artist! I’m sure he’s gonna do well in the music industry.

Its my first time watching American Idol almost for a whole season and now i know how addicting it is! I love watching it. But guess what? i never ever voted for some practical reasons but i wished the best for my choices :)

I recently joined and played the game in FaceBook called Vampire Wars and well.. i’m hooked. lol. Its a pretty cool game and well i haven’t been playing an online game for long so might as well try and enjoy it and see how far i’ll go. If anyone is interested to play it with me and be clan mates, just leave a comment here with your profile link so i can add you up!

Its 2009 and its a brand new year! I wonder what’s in store for me this year…..

Anyway, Happy New Year :)

Omigosh! at first i thought it was just a joke but now i realized its true. Saw the news about it in PerezHilton. I first found out about it after a friend send me a link to an online petition that wants to halt its production. Basically, ABC-CBN, one of the big media giant in the Philippines bagged the rights to make a local tv series of the popular Twlight. Sheesh… i just wish if ever it will push through that it will be good if as not good as twlight itself. Shaina who will be potraying Bella looks good and i think she’ll do just fine (and thinking among the ABC-CBN actresses, i think she’s the best choice anyway) however its sad that Edward will be portrayed by Shain’a onscreen loveteam partner Rayver. He doesn’t look as handsome, attractive and stunning as what we would expect of an Edward, really. I know a lot of Pinoy Twilight fans didn’t like this news and yet some are right when they said we should not judge them as early as now. I think Richard Gutierrez would have made a good Edward (but haha, a Richard-Shaina tandem? impossible, for now, lol. and oh, sorry but i’m not a Richard fan either, just thought they might look good as Edward-Bella). So there, i wonder what news would pop out soon about this… lets wait and see… and btw, i did sign the petition. haha =p
