What amuses me about SCQ is the title itself..it's made up of 7 words and about 45 characters. Lucky Manzano and Jodi Santa Maria would have intensely rehearsed to make sure words come out in their proper
gucci handbags order.
Speaking of SCQ itself, I had a secret little obsession about this show (yes, it's just LITTLE!). Well, maybe because they gave Paw a chance to make a wild card come back to the Top 5. Had she not been selected, I wouldn't even attempt to get updates from my Mom who's been an avid follower of the series. I get to watch on Friday late nights only, when questors get booted off the show for performances that make the entire 'Kapamilya' world puke. To me, it sounded FUN! hehe!
Well, Erich, the girl who hails from Davao and who possess some Cindy Kurleto facial features, was the grand questor. I knew it! Well, it's good to know that Paw made it..I believe she was the only deserving contender from this season. Her natural look and raw talent will definitely raise the bar for other promising (or trying hard) personalities in show business. It's just too unfortunate that networks capitalize more on whoever has the "mass" appeal rather than who possess the talent to make mature, smart, and artistic work in the silver and white screen.
Hehe! Its really funny that it was only last Friday that my best friend
Nicky and I met in Makati. I've worked here in
IBM since March last year, and she started working at
People Support since April - both companies
gucci handbags located along Ayala Avenue, the very heart of the Makati Business District. In spite of all our excitement to see each other talking over coffee all the pressure that Service Level Agreements have put in our young and naive selves, the plan never materialized. I must agree that our erratic work schedules have gotten in the way. I work really long hours during the day, and when it was time to drag my ass off 6750, work day starts for her (as she works graveyard shift for customer service of a US-based telecoms company and attends her classes during daytime at her Intramuros based college). So I'd probably have to thank her college professor for cancelling their class that Nicky and I finally grabbed that once in a blue moon chance to have some hearty dinner. We, likewise, had plans to go to some bar last Saturday, but we both had to cancel it, since I felt she was too tired to go out (she went straight to a school activity right after work, and she had not slept the entire day then.) We've wanted to go backpacking together for the longest time, but given the constraints that the real corporate (and/or scholastic) life has caused, we're at least thinking of just going to Puerto Galera or Boracay, and 'individually' consider the colorful prospect of a summer fling (haha! joke!). Anyway, we both love the beach but we never went beach bumming together, so this surely is something to look forward to.
