*phew* What a week!!! I've been loosing my sleep lately. The local TV station is airing Band of Brothers, 5 days in a row, since Monday. They air it every night on 10 pm, which lasted about 2,5 hours (the original series's duration is 2 hours, here is + 30 mins commercials). *yawn* I'm soooooo sleepy.

Anyway, I'm just gonna say what a coincidence. They air Band of Brothers about a week before the Dreamcatcher release. See? What a coincidence. Hopefully, this will make people flock to the theatre and watch the movie.

Aww, man. I feel awful. This is what I get if I had a weird dream last night. But I can't even remembered it. Aaaaaaaaargh!!! At least, I got to see John Vause again this morning. He's still in Basra, reporting on the pumping of crude oil there. Gooosh, *yawn* sleepy, sleepy, sleeepy. Maybe I should get more sleep.

Aaaaaaaaaaa!!! Bugger!! The Internet Explorer just suddenly decided that I'm the enemy. Yuch! I was ready to pour my guts (and my heart) but it just shut. So here we go again.

After a few days missing, John Vause finally reported again. Still from Nasiriya, he reported about the Iraqi doctors that help one the POWs, Jessica Lynch. Looked good in blue shirts and (maybe) a grey pants, he talked with the doctors and was shown the room where Jessica Lynch was found. He listened very carefully to the resident doctor. Hmmm, very thoughtful of him. Makes him even more...aw, I won't even write it. *blush*

Good news (for me). I have bought The Forsyte Saga VHS set from the Amazon. Bought through the used & new feature. Got meself a new one for only $42, while the one at Amazon is $71. Quite a bargain, eh?

Gosh, I am still sleepy. I had to wake up at 5.30 this morning, because I gotta do Mom a favor. I'll take a nap after this.

I just finished a book called "Confession of A Shopaholic". It tells a story about a shopaholic, who has trouble keeping her money or credit cards to stay in her wallet. While I was reading it, I keep thinking 'this woman is stupid', or 'can anybody be this stupid?', or 'oh my gosh, this woman is totally obsessed'. I just can't believe that anyone actually can get fired because she was hooked with a zebra-textured jeans (which I think definetely not worth the ordeal) and wouldn't let a costumer in the store she worked in to buy it (she hid it behind a curtain). As I read through the chapters, I kept feeling really annoyed by her. At that time, I wished I could just jump into the book, shook her, slap her, or do whatever it takes to get her mind work. But as I told my sister the story in the morning, she said "But that's how all shopaholic are". Oooooooooooh. Big 'round of applause for my sis. She's 5 years younger than me, but she can be wiser sometimes. Cheers sis!

Now, after reading that book, I moved on to "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps". This books is very interesting, as it stated that men and women are different, not better or worse - just different. One simple and logical answer to all the unsolved questions about men and women, and the relationship between them. I just finished one chapter, and now reading the second one. I found some interesting things in the first chapter. They say men dominate the remote control. Well, I like to dominate the remote, but I'm 100% a woman. They also say that women has a short-range spatial skill, which makes them a bad map-reader. Well, I can read map and I don't have a problem telling right from left. But as I questioned that statements, I moved on the the 2nd chapter and find my answer there. But I won't tell you the answer untill I read the whole chapter. I really recommend this book. It has a lot of scientific explaination on those things that ticked you about both sexes. I'll put it on my list, on the left.

Aaaaaah, that's it for now. I need my nap therapy...cheers!

Finally, the template editor works. A new featured link, just on the left. Check it out. More to come, the links page.

Ehem. I finally saw John Vause!!!!! He is now at Nasiriya, covering on the meeting about Iraq future there. Oh, finally, finally, finally. *slap self* I gotta get a grip of myself.

Did watched Band of Brothers. 3 full episodes. Aaaah, Mr. Lewis himself. Just so damn gorgeous. So people, do watch his new flick Dreamcatcher. It's a must see. Weell, at least for Damian admirers.
Heeeeeey! What happen to the template editor? I was going to put some new stuffs, but I guess that will have to wait.

I just found a Yahoo Groups on John Vause. Yeah, that's right. I can't believe it myself. There I was, just typing 'John Vause' on the group search, thinking 'Maybe..'. Then voila! There is a group dedicated to him. So now I'm officially the group's 6th or maybe 7th member. Hurrrah!!! There's a group to share my fixation.

I was going to put a link to another blog, qHate.com. I read it once a while, the blog is about 'love and hate in Quwait'. It has a lot point of view from people who are Quwaities and live in Quwait. Right now, the reports on CNN are all about the allegation on Syria being 'helpful' to a lot of Iraqi officials. Whatever. Can people just hold that thoughts? There are a lot of other issues in Iraq than that, and more important! Humanitarian aids, please! A lot of people are suffering because of their wounds, but no humanitarian aids just yet. People are moving to slow. Get those damn aids there! You have troops all over, security is not supposed to be an hold-up for the aid. Aaaaaargh!!! I wish I could do more than this ranting. Is there any big air vessels that can carry a whole hospital? Guess not.

Oh what else? What else? Oh yeah, seems that Francesco Coco (the football/soccer player) is injured and would need a month to recover. Which means that he probably won't played again the rest of the season. Oh well, look at the bright side. I only need to watch 2 games now, Milan's and Juve's. Ah, 10.30 already. Better get going and watch that BOB vid. Let see...which episodes??

Another one? Gosh I'm obsessed

Back!!! Just for another change in my layout. Now look beside you. Sorry, I mean to the left part of the screen. Taadaaa! Some new links. I will put a links page soon, more organized of course. Also a featured links every posts, which will be archived on the links page.

Finally, I'm getting used to this. Hurraaah!!!

PS : Damn cable!!! Instead fixing the problem with Star TV, they change the channel. Not that I don't mind having Now!, FashionTV, and Soundtrack Channel...but I need Star World, you eedjits!!! I already missed Oprah for 3 weeks!!! Aaaaaaaargh!!!

Me Again

Another post? Yes. Another one. I'm trying to get use to this, so I changed the layout (again). But I'll stick with this one though. Don't worry. Another change will be made...not in a short time. Meanwhile, I'm also trying to costumize my blog. Been trying to remember some of the HTML tags. It's been a while since I made a website. One of the recent site I made was a tribute site to Francesco Coco, an Italian football/soccer player who plays in Internazionale Milan. Don't bother to check the site. It has 'Under Construction' tag on the main page. Maybe I should be fixing it and run it again. As soon as my modem is repaired (it got hit by lightning one night, didn't blew up just refuses to recognize a dial tone). When? Soon. No actual or acurate answer to be made.

What else? Oh yes, no new report yet from John Vause. The last one I saw was still the one about the Iraqi traffic police who were trained by British troops to control checkpoint. A short glimpse of Mr. Vause, the rest was just his voice on the report. Ah, better than nothing I guess. I'll try to find the url of his profile from the CNN.com as soon as possible. After I manage to get used to the HTML tags again. I've been using Netscape Composer for a while, that's why I've been neglecting HTML tags. I guess it's better to use the FrontPage...you can still see the HTML tags. But wait a minute, the latest Composer does have HTML view too. Oh well...fix the modem first, fix the modem first. There goes another spending. So when am I going to go back to my piano lesson?

Damn cable!!! Instead of fixing the problem of their subscription with the STAR TV, they change the damn channel into something that didn't even aired. Then they got two, not one, two TV5 Asie. And they didn't recover RAI International. Damn them! I'm stopping my subscription if they still have this problems next month. I'm changing my cable service next month, if they can't get the STAR TV channels running. Totally not professional.

Me Own Blog

Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Finally...me own blog. I've been wanting to have one for a while, but never seem has the...time to do it. Sure, I've known the net and the art of webmaking for years, but on the blog stuff...I'm a newbie. Thank god I found Blogger, a really cool and easy way to make me own blog.

This is my third week on 'vacation'. I've skipped classes for two weeks in a row now. Beginning to feel bored now. I have CNN on now, watching the reports from Iraq. What on now is the reports about the school music in Bagdad which got trashed in the so-called 'jubilation' after the city was freed. There are a few music instrument that got broken. A grand piano with no keys or lid or legs. Breaks me heart sometimes, watching all of this reports. Been thinking what I could do to help. Find one...which is so common. But then again, I don't exactly have the same opinion as others have. Pity.

Why watch CNN? Well, the Cartoon Network on my cable suddenly vanished. So the only reasonable thing to do is to switch to CNN. Just checking the latest development on the post-war Iraq. And...just incase John Vause pops up on the screen. Yes...I do have a fixation? A crush? An admiration? Oh whatever, bottom line...I do like John Vause. There, I've said it. On the internet. On my blog, where people can see. Eeeuch. I feel sick suddenly. Need a dose of Ginger himself, quick. Bad thing is...Dreamcatcher due in April 29th. Waaaaay tooo long for a dose of Mr. Lewis himself. Guess back to Band of Brother, for a quick one.

Hmm, that's it for intro I guess. More Ginger fixation on the next posts. Cheers!
