CSI Hotties March 6, 2008
I am sooo addicted to CSI. Be it CSI, CSI: NY or CSI: Miami. I can watch reruns over and over and over again! Haha 
I’ve been meaning to buy the DVD sets since season 1 but every time BF and I drop by one of the dibidi places I don’t have enough cash with me, ngek, I’d rather wait until I have money & buy the complete set than just buy one and be bitin. Every Sunday on AXN they show 3 episodes back to back (umm, to back..) - one episode each (CSI, NY & Miami). It starts at 12nn up to 3pm then it has replays at night which starts at 9pm up to 12nn then there’s another one at around 3am, not really sure on this though. Then there’s this new channel on Sky Cable called Foxcrime that shows reruns of old CSI episodes everyday! But it starts at 3pm and I have to be asleep by then but sometimes I stay up late and wait for it. Since I get to watch this show almost everyday I can’t help but have crushes! Hehe 
Here are my crushes in order
1.) Carmine Giovinazzo - From CSI: NY; plays the character Danny Messer. I don’t know what it is about him but I really like how he looks - rugged/bad boy image but when you see him in character he’s such a nice guy! *Sigh* Oh and I looove his ‘eyebrows knit together’ look. And he seems really passionate when he’s doing his role as Danny - like he’s always heated up when he has discussions with other characters.
2.) Eddie Cahill - From CSI: NY; plays the character Detective Donald “Don” Flack, Jr. He’s the boy-next-door type but has a ‘dark/bad boy’ side to him - it seems that I have a liking for bad boys, haha! But he is drop dead gorgeous! I like how he looks when he’s serious but look how cute he is when he’s smiling.
3.) George Eads - From CSI; plays the character Nick Stokes. This guy grew on me. I didn’t find him handsome at first but as I got to see him in every episode I started to realize that he’s good looking after all. Kinda like a boy next door type also. I’m thinking he was the kind jock during highschool & college; he’s a popular kid but at the same time he would volunteer to build houses for the poor during his free time - haha, my imagination see how far it goes!
BF, bestfriend C, our close college friend (also an officemate) G and I watched Vantage Point at Eastwood last night. We caught the 10:30pm screening - and we got there 10:35pm. On a side note, I’m a stickler for things like this; if something is starting at a particular time I want to be there either at least 5-10minutes early or just in time for the movie, program or whatever to start.
the movie I realized on the first flashback how the movie was made. The ‘tagline’ of the movie is 8 Strangers 8 Points of View 1 Truth; literally there are 8 strangers and the story is ‘told’ by showing how these people see the ‘main event’ (don’t really want too much spoilers 
I went back to Boracay last February. It was a much needed R & R for everyone! We were there February 9 (Saturday) - 14 (Thursday)! That was my longest stay ever on the island. We were able to stay there that long because daddy followed on Monday (February 11). We went back to Boracay because daddy’s sister, husband & my cousin visited from Sydney. And it was my uncle’s 50th birthday - he’s the uncle that’s living in Boracay, he’s a diving instructor. I can’t really give a blow by blow account of what we did for every single day because, you know me, I’m such a Dory (from Finding Nemo). During the weekend our friend, R, was w/ BF and I in our resort. The we separated Monday - he moved in w/ his GF in another resort and BF and I moved in with daddy. There was just one thing that pissed me off the whole trip - my camera acted up! It would only take bright white shots during the day! But night shots are just fine. Grrr.. We tried setting up everything to Automatic, it still won’t take decent day shots then we tried to setup stuff manually, still the same. Good thing my uncle had a memory card reader and everyone was given copies of everyone’s pictures. 
When in Boracay, you should always go to Jonah’s and have their shakes. They’re so creamy and full of flavor! My personal favorites are the Choco-Banana and Strawberry shakes. BF’s favorite is the Choco-Banana-Peanut shake. This, I’m sure, we had our first day in Boracay. We walked from d Mall to Jonah’s (just to w
ork up our thirst) and had shakes. BF’s manager from work (who is a very good friend of ours) was also in Boracay for the weekend with his semi-girlfriend (we really don’t know their status). She treated us to shakes and a pizza. After our shakes we walked some more and found a manong putting up his barbecue stall already (once 4pm strikes these bbq stalls pop up like mushrooms). I had a hotdog while they had isaw (chicken intestines) and pusit (dried squid). I also eat these but I opted for the hotdog instead. After this, we decided to head back in our own hotels to rest & freshen up for dinner - manager invited us to dinner, his treat. 
Dinner that day (Saturday) was at Gasthof. It’s located in D Mall and they’re famous for their ribs. But when we placed our orders they ran out of ribs, imagine! We chose to eat there because of that! 
But since it was the dinner rush already and it was full everywhere, we already had a table, so we just opted to stay and have dinner there. We just had Inihaw na Liempo, Sinigang na Hipon, and Chopseuy. Then manager approached the bbq station again and lo and behold, they ribs again! Haha so he ordered 1 whole slab which we just had as pica pica since we were almost finished with dinner already. It was really yummy. 
with daddy and my titos (uncles) and titas (aunts) for midmorning or after lunch sunbathing and swimming sessions and during happy hour, around 4:30-5:30pm. BF and I would eat a heavy breakfast and just eat again like no tomorrow at night, hehe. 
kfast at Aria in D Mall. It’s an Italian restaurant known for their pizza & pastas. Cafe Del Sol, which is right across from Aria, is also owned by whoever owns Aria. For 2 mornings I had Boneless Bangus (milkfish) - the first day I found it really, really delicious so I had to order it again the next day. My breakfast comes with 1 egg (scrambled for me, of course), Atchara (pickled something), coffee or juice (which I upgraded to a fresh one - yummy!), and fresh mango. Our first breakfast there, BF had a Spanish Omelette which he didn’t finish because it was as huge as the plate (believe me, the plate was huge!) but on our second breakfast there he had the Tenderloin Tapa instead - which came with the same stuff as my order. We ordered coffee separately and had fresh juice with our breakfast - I had fresh mango juice while BF had fresh orange juice.
Tuesday - We celebrated my uncle’s 
birthday. 2 more uncles from Ilo Ilo (our province) came over for dinner. We had Drunken Chicken (by my uncle’s girlfriend), Eggplant with Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar (also by the same girlfriend), Grilled Fish (not sure what kind but it was huge & yummy), Grilled Stuffed Squid and Grilled Porkchops (all grilled by the birthday boy), we also had sliced green mango
, beer, wine 
(red & white) and Coke. 
It was such a fun-filled night. 
diving for the first time in my 25 years of life! It was such a nerve-wracking but exciting experience! First things first, I’m hella scared of open waters; I always think that something will just pull me down from underneath. We watch an introduction to diving video first then we geared up. Putting on the wet suit is hell! It was so hard! Pulling and tugging and pulling and tugging some more! But after everything is zipped up, it was pretty cool, haha! Now, we had to do the skills practice - how to breathe thru the regulator, how to remove water in your mask if you’re 30 feet underwater, how to remove water if you swallowed some if you remove your regulator and the like. This is done just by the shore, there would be a floating buoy near us saying “Diver’s Below” - wow! Hehe 
way from the group! Haha I even to be on a separate class (remedial, perhaps?)! My uncle had an assistant, L who helped me out - he would be my personal lifesaver! (And my cousin & I found him cute, in a rugged, bad boy sorta way ;)) He would make ‘inhale, exhale’ hand gestures to me under the water to help me breathe normally - I was breathing way too fast. Sound was multiplied ten times underneath so it scared me even more to hear myself breathing that way. Oh, and did I mention I was also claustrophobic? Ay yay yay, recipe for disaster! So skills practice was done so we went up to the dive shop again to put our tanks in a push cart then we walked to the speed boat. I was able to regulate my breathing as this point. Everyone in our [diving] group (me, my cousin, daddy, my 2 uncles plus L) thought I wouldn’t be able to go down. I was thinking the same thing too, actually. And then we had to go down the water doing th
e ‘flip thing’! Aaagh! It was so funny because I was all geared up and ready to flip so my uncle was in front of me pushing me! Haha and I was not falling! I was holding on to dear life! Until I just flipped on my own (it was fun!). Then I started breathing really fast again - imagine this is the open ocean already! So L was beside me again and doing the inhale, exhale hand signal again. He was so good actually, that I didn’t notice that he was slowly bringing me down already (nice one, L!). At this point, I was still so concentrated on my breathing that I wasn’t appreciating the view yet. 
I was holding on to L with 2 hands! Haha I looked stupid, I’m sure. Then he let go 1 of my hands and I started ‘feeling’ the water. Then we swam a bit and he took me so near the coral that I started swimming away from it! Haha I wasn’t ready to touch stuff yet! And then I found Nemo, hehe that was really fun! And I think it was at this point that I started enjoying the dive. It was so monument
al! And then L let go of my other hand and just held my vest. I felt so free! Haha but I did look at him every once in a while to check if he was still holding my vest! 
I am addicted! Haha, it is sooo fun! My mom got my brother one for Christmas (2007) and we’ve all been playing non stop ever since. It’s a fun way of exercising since it’s a really physical game. My mom told me that if she knew that it’s just a Wii that would make get up and sweat, she should have bought one when it first came out. Haha!
