Currently craving for one right now. Everytime I go to the mall, I always make sure to grab a cup. It’s like my favorite Caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks, but much more better. I know DQ’s French Vanilla has lots of calories. 600 Cal I think. But what the hell! It’s really addicting! For those who still haven’t tried it, I suggest you do. =] They also have different flavors aside from French Vanilla.
How excited I am for this movie?! WOOHOO!
I can’t believe I finished the three books in just 3 days! LOL. 1 book, 1 day. It’s just addicting, I can’t stop reading. For 3 days, I was in a zombie mode.
Anyway, I highly recommend reading Hunger Games trilogy. For those who still haven’t, read it! The first book is the best for me. Mockingjay is just bitin and my least favorite of the series. The author just cut off abruptly, especially the ending! *sigh
The Hunger Games introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the ruthless and evil Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts, who are then pitted against each other in a game of survival and forced to kill until only one remains. Katniss takes the place of her younger sister as the district 12 female tribute, to fight to the death, and bring a year of food to her district.
The Hunger Games (2008) is a young-adult science fiction novel written by Suzanne Collins. It is the first book of the Hunger Games trilogy.
The Hunger Games movie is set to be released next year, March 23, 2012.
PEETA MELLARK 
SPOILER AHEAD: (warning)
Super bitin ako kay Peeta and Katniss sa last book! WTF talaga. I felt a little bit sad when Katniss learned that Gale has moved to District 2. But felt happy because of Peeta and Katniss together atlast.
I’ve been hearing this song from my sister since last week. In the bathroom while she showers, in the kitchen while she cooks our meal, in the living room while watching, in the bedroom while reading a book. Like HELLO?! Hahaha! It’s become my LSS (Last Song Syndrome) now!
TANGLED HEALING INCANTATION LYRICS:
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates’ design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
This post is a very late post. I’m supposed to blog this last weekend but I guess I’m too busy to write this. Blame Phantom of the Opera (movie and broadway).
Anyway, as you all know, I love food. I love to try out different restaurants and fast food chains to taste their food. And last weekend, it’s my first time to try Bigoli (an Italian fast food restaurant). I’m not really good at writing a food review so I’m not gonna attempt.
All I can say is that, the food were okay. Especially their specialty Stromboli. Also, servings are quite big! The drinks are self service so you can refill your glass anytime you want. I also noticed that they serve fast. We didn’t have to wait that long for our orders. I also love the ambiance; (SM Annex branch) comfortable and wide. Despite some negative reviews about Bigoli, I would definitely go back if I have time. Oh, one thing I wasn’t able to try is their cheesecake, next time tho. 
OVERALL: Delicious and affordable.
* the chicken looks small in the picture. sorry.
Okay, so I’m currently reading The Scorch Trials. Just like the first book, it’s really mysterious. I can’t put the tablet (I’m reading it on my sister’s aPad – Aldiko -) down because of my eagerness to know what will happen next. Every chapter is just exciting to read. Kudos to James Dashner. I can’t wait to finish it!
PLOT: Solving the Maze was supposed to be the end. No more puzzles. No more variables. And no more running. Thomas was sure that escape meant he and the Gladers would get their lives back. But no one really knew what sort of life they were going back to.
In the Maze, life was easy. They had food, and shelter, and safety . . . until Teresa triggered the end. In the world outside the Maze, however, the end was triggered long ago.
Burned by sun flares and baked by a new, brutal climate, the earth is a wasteland. Government has disintegrated—and with it, order—and now Cranks, people covered in festering wounds and driven to murderous insanity by the infectious disease known as the Flare, roam the crumbling cities hunting for their next victim . . . and meal.
The Gladers are far from finished with running. Instead of freedom, they find themselves faced with another trial. They must cross the Scorch, the most burned-out section of the world, and arrive at a safe haven in two weeks. And WICKED has made sure to adjust the variables and stack the odds against them.
Thomas can only wonder—does he hold the secret of freedom somewhere in his mind? Or will he forever be at the mercy of WICKED?

So yesterday, mom and I finally went to Globe Business Center at Alimall to apply for Globe’s promo, My Super Circle Plan. We brought all the necessary documents that are needed. We even brought mom’s original copy of birth certificate and marriage certificate just in case.
Anyway, long story short, we weren’t able to get the promo that day. The unpleasant customer representative of Globe pissed me off big time. LOL. She wasn’t even being “friendly” (no smile, straight face) while explaining it to us. There was a time when she was explaining about the Globe to Globe call and text to one customer, and she was practically shouting! Everyone in there was like looking at her! Turns out mom and I have the same sentiments when we finally left. LOL. Very customer unfriendly indeed.
The main problem was mom doesn’t have any name under any of our utility bills. All of it (meralco, water, cable) are under my dad’s. Unfortunately, dad is not eligible to apply as well because he doesn’t have a payslip to present.
However, they (the unpleasant woman & the sidekick) asked for mom’s bank statement which we brought with us that day. Unfortunately, they didn’t accepted it because they needed the latest (JUNE) copy. We only have MAY 2011 bank statement. Now all that is left to do is to get a copy of mom’s JUNE bank statement from HSBC. I hope we can do all this before the promo ends. =(
I wonder how many days would it take for them to issue us the June bank statement? Err. And is it possible to print it out via online banking? I’m still hoping.
