the next day, the men wanted to pray at a mosque cuz its friday... the mosque is in Itaewon area which is pretty much a tourism zone... bunch of stores, shoppin centers, markets, and its full of foreign tourists... lots of americans too cuz the army base is near by... so anyways while the men went prayin, us ladies got to do some more shoppin... hehehe...

time flies

sheeesshhh.. cant believe its july already... we're in the 2nd half of 2006... come to think of it, thats kinda scary dont u think?... for real, im not gettin any younger, goodness... i'll b 25 in january, aaahhhhhh!... y cant i b forever 21!.. hehehe..

if u ask me, i have yet satisfied with wut i have achieved, well im only human, i think no human is ever satisfied u kno..

my life is, ummm, i dunno i honestly think if i never moved back here things would deff b diff.. not just my life n ppl round me, but i myself, u kno.. how i was deff more independent before.. i did everythin by my self, i drove myself places.. i got a job, got my own money to spend.. my rents trusted me n let me go places by myself..

but nowwwww... everythings changed... man i dont think i've grown, instead i think i became spoiled, ok so maybe i was a lil spoiled before heheh but yea i think its gotten worse... i dont drive, im freakin dependent on a driver... i take cabs but sumtimes its just scary to take cabs by ur own self, n dont even ask bout nite time... i got a job, but bein in this whole entertainment industry u can never b too sure for a stable job... no stable paycheck at times u kno, kinda sux... my rents dont really let me go places by myself, unless they kno who im gon b with... they deff ask the 5W now, who? when? where? what? why?... and im freakin 24 for goodness sake and yet i feel like i have a curfew for life, aahhhhh sux!

and back then i work aaaanndd i go to skool... rite now, theres no skool for me... the bad thing bout bein outta the loop for so long, i kinda got super lazy to go back... but i kno i will, i have to, no questions bout that... well maybe WHEN? is the question... and the answer, ummm... soon... i hope... yeaaa...

aaahhh i dunno, maybe im just ramblin bout nonsense, but i dunno, it makes sense rite? kinda? sorta? maybe?... ugh...

mtv vj hunt 2006

aaaahhhh goodness gracious.. cant believe its been 2 years already!!!!.. sheeessshh...
so last wed nite was the mtv vj hunt 2006 final... fuuuuunnn nite!!!... my girls n i were all dolled up and ish.. hehe.. and for 1st time ever, the winner is a girl !!!.. woo hooo... her name is vina, she had already won the viewers choice so i honestly didnt think she was gon come out as the winner, but she did!!!... she looks great, all japanese style and stuff, and she seems like a nice chick, so i bet shes gon do just fine =D

anyways, now that they have a new vj i think its time for me to move oooonnn... i quit from mtv a while back, but since then i've always helped around whenever they r out of vjs... the so called substitute or wut not, yea im too nice huh.. hehe.. so yea i think i need to look round for a new job, dont u think?... time to hunt hunt hunt!.. hehehe..

mtv cribs

soooo.. mtv cribs came to my house earlier today.. the indo version is not really like the us version.. belieeeee meeee.. my house aint big, aint luxurious, aint glamorous like those houses on mtv cribs.. cuz those r just crazzzyyyyy...

anyways at 1st i didnt really want mtv to come and shoot at my house, cuz well i so dont wanna show off my house, cuz umm it aint my house, and i still share a room with my sis for goodness sake.. kinda embarassin dont u think? hehehe.. so u get the point.. buuuttt mtv kept on insistin, and i caved in, damn it, so i said yes. argh

so the 1st i thing i did was cleanin up!.. haha.. im not very neat thats fa sho, so my room was a mess!.. i cleaned that up and the rest of the house with the help of my mom and maids.. hehehe..

everythin went smoothly, thank god!.. it was hella fun.. cuz the indo version got a vj as the host, a silly one too.. hahaha... there was this part where i had to cook, but since my ass dont feel like cookin, well more like i dunno how hehe so i cut up some fruits instead.. hahaha...

i actually had fun today, cant wait til it airs ;-)
