...what did you say????!!!I don't get to spend a lot of quality time with my mom. The few moments we are together is those rare times I have to drive her somewhere. Our usual conversations revolve around work/planning, discussing my dad's decreasing comunications skills, he's digressed to caveman like pointing, grunting and incoherent mumbling; or complaining about one of my brothers. Yesterday our convo took a strange turn...
I can't even remember what we were talking about. We might have been talking about Philippine Hollywood because we had just seen off Nellie Vangt and the Regine/Pops group as they left for Edmonton. But the conversation somehow turned to lesbians, my Aunt and her 'best friend'; when my mom said It. "Greedy women date lesbians because if they dated a man they would have to put-out." ...I have no response to that. She went on to qualify her statement with, "Do you see how your Tita is treated? If she was a man she would have left a long time ago." I think I was kinda in shock because I have no idea what my mom was talking about from that point after. Just the thought of my mom saying girls have to put out to keep a man. I don't even know if that was her point because I was in a yucky place mentaly.
It's funny how grown men and women can be so star struck. It's different when it's Cristina or some chick at the club visibly drooling whilst trying to ask Diether to dance(have sex with) her. But when I see my Tito Rey (Philippine News today) Nellie (Miss millionaire's) or the parents of my business partner in Edmonton with stars in their eyes...priceless. These pillars of our community become gleeful teenagers. It's like my nephew when I bring him to Toy's R Us. It reminds me of Mel and her Jason Molmo moment.
BTW, I updated my list. Jessica Alba, Keira Knightly, Scarlett Johanson, Natalie Portman and Lacey Chabert. Alyssa the veteran of 'The List' has been knocked off by the lovely Scarlett. Sorrey babe, thanks for the memmories.
BTW, Cristina if you're reading this I did call you 'Cristine' and I don't know why. I think I was trying to think of 'Regine's' name at that moment and I knew you'd know it, I was about to call you 'Crispy' but I realized there was a lot of new ppl around us that would think that weird so out slipped...

Just FriendsI rented 'Just Friends' last night and I must say that it was so freakin funny. That on the heels of watching 'Waiting' last month I have to say that Ryan Reynolds is one of the funniest actors in Hollywood. Canadian too. BTW, anyone who's ever worked in a restaurant or bar has to watch 'Waiting'. I identified with every one of those characters as someone I once worked with. Especially the Luis Guzman character. He is so my Uncle Fernando (My Tito Nunding)
When I was in HS I worked at Tony Roma's and my uncle was the kitchen manager. He kept that place running. He was so funny all the time that it was fun to work there. I can't remember all the little things he did, but one of the few things that stuck in my mind was this really hot Chinese girl named Christine that was a hostess. Whenever she walked into the kitchen area my uncle would start serenading her, "...the first time...ever I saw your pace!" Eventually it was shortened to, "...ever I saw your pace!". It got to the point where he didn't even have to look to know she was in the room and start singing, and she would already be laughing before she even walked into the kitchen. Oh I remember Christine but that's another storey for another time. One of these days I'll write about my uncle Fernando, he's just one of those truly funny ppl.

...ahhhh....mmmmm....*blank*It's been too long, for many things... I suppose I'll just open my mind and see what spills out.
Speaking of too long...ever hear of the term 'squeezing the stick'? It's a hockey term when someone hasn't scored in a while and no matter what he does he just makes matters worse causing him to grip harder. It's a vicious circle. Anyways...
The Canucks are sucking some major arse and are sitting in 7th in the conference. With the way things are going it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't make the playoffs. If it wasn't for the Olympics we wouldn't have lost our second and third top defencemen. Just rotten luck. With Jovo and Baumgartner out we were without 4 of our top 5 and were forced to use up some of those draft picks we had acquired in the off season on two frickin old d-men. I was really looking forward to restocking our rather empty system.
I've been a total flake lately. I'm working on a deal that's got me on edge. I'll talk about it after it goes through or falls thru. I think I'll know by Friday. Come to think about it I'm a flake most of the time so forgive my liberal use of the word 'lately'.
I finally watched the third and forth Harry Potter movies. Really good. I don't think it was a good idea watching them back to back because I started drifting half way thru "Goblet of Fire". I want to read all the books now. Its been so long since I've seen a movie in the theatre that everything I want to watch is coming out on DVD. Now that I have time there's nothing good to watch. I watched Jar Head. I love war movies.
Well can't think of anything else, kinda getting bored. Hopefully I can get things going so I can stop squeezing the stick.

-The bad news is that you lost a lot of blood. The good news is that we found most of it.-Some movie I can't remember.
