When I Exclaimed OMG

I was overexcited last night that I could only exclaim Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! over and over. Not with the rising price of petroleum, although I am still not over it and the feeling for that is hibernating somewhere in the nook of my heart. I was thrilled over a few interesting things that I saw on TV last night that made me sound like a kolehiyala in an instant.

While my niece was browsing for a good watch on TV and I was reading this LBD book that is like a poo, she spotted Oprah featuring a best-selling novel turned movie entitled "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. (I read one of his books in college. Thanks to Prof. Galan's adoration for him.) Oprah showed the teaser of the movie that I have to put the book I was reading down. It was really an eye catcher (or maybe the narration is). It is a love story of Florentino and Fermina who fell in love with each other after 5 decades of Florentino's waiting. Fermina had a doctor-husband whose death opened the doors for Florentino to woo her again. Florentino, on the other hand, have had several affairs in his efforts to forget about Fermina. Only after 50 years (or so) did they decide to be together, like they were meant to be together after everything that went through their lives. OMG.

(Note: I have not read the book yet. I just based the summary I wrote above from the episode of Oprah. But the book is dead-catching my interest this moment, it can hardly subside. So if anyone would care to sponsor the book for me at PhP245.00 or PhP589.00 -- I'd love to receive the one priced higher. Available in National Bookstore or Powerbooks. Or if I could summon the gods thru my OMGs and let Mhel Tandoc hear this appeal, hahaha, I might fortunately have a copy, hardbound. Mhel, where are you? Teehee.)

Another Oh-My-Godly matter that I am so excited about: The Dark Knight! OMG, I am delirious about this shown on the big screen. Must, must, must see sequel! I have seen Batman movies before and the thrill would not quench at the end of each film. So I WILL SEE THIS MOVIE with or without company. (Ehem, sponsor ulit.) But I know a lot of you blokes would share this same interest with me. Block your calendars now!

And, oh, let's pay Heath Ledger some tribute by watching The Dark Knight onscreen. Bless his soul.

So Bruce Wayne, July 17, it's a date. Here's my card. See you. Hahaha.

Aiza Seguerra won for the second time in the 1-million-peso challenge of The Singing Bee. Oh.My.God. That makes her 2 million pesos ++ richer. I think she deserves it. She has a lovely heart. And though her winning would give her another chance to win more millions, she humbly let go of it to give others the same chance. A champion less the greed. Bow!

OMG for the behavior of James Yap in the last game the other night. A kid in the court! Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

One last thing. This was not shown on TV last night but it's OMG-ly just the same. I wounded myself just this morning. Yeah, my clumsy behavior will kill me. It did not hurt so badly but the bleeding would not stop. Good thing I always have these band-aid strips with me in my wallet so I got to apply first aid on my damaged fingers. See that bloodspot? Hehehe. Tough girl!
