I’ve been tagged by Jacq on this. This whole tagging thing has been going around wowies lately, hehehe. OK lang, wala din naman kasi akong ma-blog

A is for Accent: I was born in Manila, raised in Manila, grew up in Manila. How boring no? ) So I dunno, I don’t have an accent I guess. Even if I’m at work which would help that I have one, I think I still don’t have the twang. I speak well though. That I got to admit )

B is for Biggest expense: Food. You don’t know how much of my salary goes to food.

C is for Chore I hate: Folding clothes. I’d rather do the laundry and clean the bathroom or wash dishes. I guess it’s something to do with doing something with water? I dunno.

K is for Kids: One Boy. Matthew Benedict. Would want to have at least 2 or 3 more. One girl only please . Would stop making babies at the age of 30 (I still have 6 more years to reproduce! Bwahahaha!). I want to travel and enjoy old life when I hit 50.

L is for Living arrangements: Living with ‘rents (still) – sharing bills.

M is for Mom’s birthplace: Manilena to the core )

I was just on my usual browsing blogs and sites mode when I happen to find this.

The Little.Black.Dress.

It's been years since I owned one (nearing five years), but back when I had killer legs (bwahaha) and an average body, I had the little back dress and the little black skirt.

I just can't help but smile on memories on wearing the LBD (or LBS). It was Edil's favorite *wink*.

Now, the LBD has gone to some smart woman who bought them for 50 bucks on one of our garage sales.

The LBS, though it wouldn't fit on even my thigh anymore, I just can't bear to part with. On freaky days, I tell myself, “The LBS would be my inspiration.” (Like what Shawie did displaying her gown when she was thin on TV and vowing to wear it again, that sort of thing).

So, you ask, where is the LBS?

I actually saw it on my youngest sister, about 3 weeks ago. *sigh*

Edil actually knew it was the LBS because he casually said, “Thart oh! Mas sexy ka pa nyan dati!”

I make him kunwari batok and tell him, “Papayat din ako!” *belat*

So, I'm thinking of what LBD will I buy when I finally get my shape back

Now, let's see. I don't know why, but watching sappy Pinoy flicks would always make me giddy. I'm a self-confessed romantic, but I never thought of myself as mababaw. Not that I watch Pinoy films that have the generic insert-a-beach-scene-with-dancing-soundtrack-kahit-hindi-bagay-with-matching-dancing films. I watch films that are..well, romantic *insert Nakakdiri si Aggie! shriek here*.

But yeah, I admit. I love watching films like those. Even to the point of owning them in VCDs *cringes* (OK, I'm making this entry friends' only). Edil is the only one who can tolerate watching a movie with me, with me pinching and shrieking every now and then.

I'm confessing to having favorites though. I haven't watched any Judy Ann Santos film, even on Cinema One. But I have watched (almost) every Regine Velasquez and Sharon Cuneta films and some of the more recent ones by Claudine. And, you might kill me, but also movies with Diether on it. (HAHAHAHAHAH! He may look Chinese and gay, but I don't care, he looks so much like Edil to me – pre-Hunk days.) I have Regine movies in VCDs and Sharon's Kung Ako na Lang Sana. I loved that film.

Tagalog Movies I'd Watch Again and Again:

Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw
(Regine and Robin).
Robin was a revelation here, he can really act! Not to mention his eyes were mesmerizing! I love Regine so that is a given. But of all the movies she has made, I love this the most.

Bukas na Lang Kita Mamahalin.
(Diether and Angelu).
Ok, so this is actually a crappy film. But if any of you have seen the movie, you might as well have seen me and Edil pre-wedding. Away-bati-away-bati. Cats and dogs. Fugly. But cute! (hehehe)

Kailangan Kita.
(Aga and Claudine).
The cinematography was lovely and it felt like I got to know more about Bicol, Edil's hometown (his parents are pure Bicolanos). I got to know about their food – which is actually anything with sili and gata, but who cares? I love laing! The twist on Aga's Dad is nice as well.

Kung Ako na Lang Sana.
(Sharon and Aga).
I love this story! Heehee. I used to imagine this was me and H, pre-getting back with Edil stage of my life (bwahahahaha!). Grabe, I get all kilig everytime they would have those kulitan scenes. Pero honestly, if that would've happened to me, I would not be able to wait until I'm 40. Gurang na ako nun no!

Hihintayin Kita sa Langit.
(Richard and Dawn)
Awmehn!!! This movie is to die for!! This is actually my all-time Pinoy favorite, beating old Sharon movies!! This one is a classic, I tell you

Tanging Yaman.
I cried in this movie. Primarily because it hits close to home. My Lola Maring had Alzheimer's too.

Pare Ko.
(The Gwapings – Jomari, Eric and Mark plus Jao and Claudine)
Ok, this movie just has sentimental reasons. This movie and the Eraseheads defined my high school life. And for that alone, I would love this movie to death. (I can't finish it now though).

Bagets Movies.
I >3 the soundtrack, and seeing Aga and William being lanky is so much fun! Bwehehehehe.

Sharon Movies.
I'm at a loss for their titles right now but here they are:
1. The movie she paired with Gabby which was shot in Baguio where she is preggy and Cherry Gil was the kontrabida.
2. The movie where they were 3 singers – Dina, Cherry and her.
3. Richard – Sharon movies. ♥♥

I'm not much of a film critic but hell, these movies give me a goody giddy feeling – like you've let a very nice sneeze and a cry. And I wouldn't mind watching them again and again.

Time to confess, you, what Pinoy movies do you watch again and again?

First, let me keep up with all the tagging going on c”,)

1. What are the things you enjoy doing even when there’s no one around you?
Watching sappy Tagalog flicks. If I can hog the TV all day, I’ll watch DVDs and cable and pig out. And I promise I’d watch at least one Tagalog flick or one CinemaOne movie. I actuallly watched Kung Ako na Lang Sana earlier, heehee. Kilig!

Indulging in sweets.

Indulging in sweets while surfing the Net – chatting, stalking, blog hopping c”,)

Dancing.

Projecting myself in the mirror – I used to do this a lot, teenage days, hahaha!

Leafing through photos.

Lazing in bed.

2. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level?

Dancing to heart-racing music.

Closing my eyes and counting to ten. Seriously!

+++++++++++++++++

You might have noticed the new look c”,). Props to Derek for coming up with what my mind wanted but my hands cant create. I’m not that skilled in Adobe nor HTML codes – still learning. I can’t work on the buttons (in his words, banners) though. I want to create icons, but I can’t. So I’m still thinking what to do with them.

+++++++++++++++++

Normal day for Aggie: Go home at 9AM. Either cook/do laundry. Fetch Matthew at 10AM. Clean house (if able). Eat lunch. Help Matthew with homework. Finally sleep. Wake up at 5-6PM. Cook dinner. Do chores. Take a bath. Go to work at 10PM.

Exciting! *insert sarcastic tone here*.

+++++++++++++++++

I’m coping though. I’m able to budget grocery lists and I have mastered multi-tasking to a tee. Love it. I’m working on improving myself (and I’m going to tell it here when I’ve finally accomplished it.

+++++++++++++++++

Finally, you ask, what gets me thru graveyard shift?

Four cups of strong coffee, of course

Let's see. I got 120 points and counting And if I win, I'll treat you *wink*

Can you add these buttons to your blogs/web sites/LJs and keep it there until September? If you are going to use LJ, it needs to be on the User Info or on your sidebar, if you have one.

I'll be eternally grateful to you guys if you do this.

Most people who did me the favor had the caption “For the love of Aggie” before the button, heehee.

Muchos gracias everyone.

The Codes:

*please add both – naks! talagang garapal! and just take out the spaces so it will show up properly. tell me / comment on this entry if it's posted already! thankies!

That's it. I'm officially hungry. So much that I've added it to my friends' list! Talk about torturing yourself.

I've been blog hopping more and more lately. And, as always, I'm frustrated at how much beauty and influence entries can be, and how much I would love to write like them, or to finally discover what I want to impart to the blogging world. Some can be downright funny, while others can tug heartstrings. I even update myself on what's happening thru blogs! That's how much blogging can be addicting c”,).

I guess staying at work (for now) has some good reasons.

I have free T1 Internet connection – I've mentioned this already.
I'm learning HTML web site design for free.
I have the greatest officemates.

And I just got a brand new Anne Klein watch, for free. c”,)

I'm seeing rainbows.
