My hubby is extremely addicted to Katy Perry and her new song entitled I Kissed A Girl. Like any full blooded and straight man, the concept of two women kissing brings him into a frenzy.

He introduced me to the song a couple of weeks ago and he has now downloaded it into his new iPhone that he plays the complete video every night before we go to bed (or… you know). I must say that the tune is catchy and sexy and the video is something I can appreciate. I asked him why he liked this video instead of all the millions of other videos out there. He muses that the Kate sang and danced very seductively that he just can’t take his eyes away.

When you think about it, not only men find the all girl make-out session enticing, I would think many women do as well. How many women do you know has at one time or another fantasized about someone of the same gender? Come on, don’t be shy.

Ok let me see. Back when I was in high school, there was this girl that belonged to the senior class that I now remember liking in a crushy sort of way. She was tall and mestiza, wore braces and played a mean game of volleyball. She was hardly tomboyish and did not at all remind me of any male I knew back then. I just found her face extremely pretty and her smile so contagious that I could not help but stare stupidly at her every time she walks past me and my friends. The admiration ended when she graduated and I became preoccupied with the male species and eventually got myself a boyfriend.

These days, I no longer have that same "I kissed a girl" moment. My husband would probably love it if I did. As long as he gets to witness if any touching or kissing is actually involved. I laugh every time we happen to talk about it but I have to confess that the thought is not as weird as lets say a guy thinking about a guy in a straight kind of way. Uhmm. Stop there.

So have you kissed a girl?

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

We have been without PLDT connection for three days now. No landline connection. No DSL connection. Looking forward to blogging mania during the long weekend (because of my long backlog), I woke up on Saturday morning to a dead line. What’s up? I picked up the handset to sort of reset the DSL connection but nothing happened. This myth usually worked but not since Saturday.

Frustrated I got my mobile and tried to call the PLDT hotline - 171. Too bad I was a Globe Handyphone subscriber so I could not connect to their hotline. I asked yaya to go to the neighbor’s and use their phone to call PLDT. No luck. Their line was dead as well. What the?!@?!

I discovered that the problem affected our whole neighborhood. Arrrgh! To top it off, there is NO way to call PLDT hotline to get your landline fixed unless you happen to be subscribed to Smart. Now how smart is THAT?!? Hello! If my landline was broken and I needed to call the provided to get it fixed shouldn’t they provide their customers a way to get in touch with them? Apparently, this very simple concept is alien to the company.

And can I just way that the customer reps that PLDT employs do not know what they are doing? The first person I talked to practically cut me off mid-sentence and would not let me explain my complaint. She just wanted to get my info and be done with it. I got the feeling she had memorized her lines… "I apologize Ma’m".. and was scared to forget it so she repeated it every 3 seconds. That meant she had to cut me off while I was speaking. Rude indeed!

I just wish that majority were not dependent on PLDT (another option is Globe Broadband) and that there exists other companies that would provide impeccable broadband service. Well in a perfect world maybe.

I can’t help but wonder amidst all the complaints that PLDT is getting, what the company is actually doing to address at least those concerns that are most important to their customers. I wonder if anyone is really listening?

I have never been successful at getting my hubby to watch chick flicks with me. If we do watch movies, it would have to be either comedy, epic, kung fu, sci-fi, or action-filled. I do not mind really as I do watch anything as long as I can be entertained. So it was surprising that he downloaded Made of Honor so we could watch it. More baffling is the fact that he actually liked it. Nothing more romantic than watching a chick flick with your man so into it.

Despite what my hubby and I think of it, every review I have come across seem to hate it and all it represents. As if they had a certain loyalty to My Best Friend’s Wedding, that liking anything slightly similar is blasphemous. But Made of Honor is not a remake. Hardly. If you really sit down and try to get yourself to enjoy it, you will realize that it can actually be the prequel. Julia Robert’s movie tells about stealing your best friend from his fiancee. Patrick Dempsey on the other hand takes you through the journey of falling in love with your best friend.

So I really cannot understand why many do not like this movie. Its funny, romantic, and actually heart-warming. Although it does have that same - oh my I will never do that in real life - factor, I love how the movie displays the activities that bring Patrick and Michelle closer to each other. The passion for coffee, animal welfare, sweets and insufferable family gatherings. I love how they fall in line just to get their favorite dessert and amuse themselves by coming up with all sorts of flavors they wanted to get. I was gushing and blushing and awww-ing all through out the movie.

I read that many did not like the movie because they could not believe several things about the plot. The first is how Michelle can marry someone she just met just because the sex was great. Uhmm… Hell-ow! It happens in real life trust me (that’s another story) so why not in movies? People are allowed to be stupid after all.

The second thing that many cannot believe is how Michelle can fall in love with Patrick who is a ladies man, shallow and extremely selfish. How can Michelle fall in love with someone who took her for granted for years? Now personally, I can relate to that and I think I know far too many people who have been through that same thing (some successful and some weren’t). So why will it cause many to think negatively of the film just because it depicts such a harsh reality? Oooh I know! Bitter! Hehe. Kidding.

But yeah, if you happen to be happy, secure and not the least bit emotional and are interested in bringing back that tickly, tingly feeling of awkward courtship then watch Made of Honor. You will love it… did I mention Patrick is sooo adorable?

I have somehow acquired the habit of listening to Mo Twister’s program on 89.9 every morning. I find their morning banter and bashing refreshing to my often sleepy morning. It beats two cups of coffee at least. I also find their topics quite interesting and silly at times that you just cant help but listen and laugh at all the funny anecdotes that other listeners share over the radio.

There was one such discussion that I listened to one day that really made me think to the "first time". You see I never think that other people would ever have similar experiences that I have. Many would probably like to think that their lives and emotions are unique that it doesn’t cross their minds that others may have gone through the same thing (or is that called denial?). Anyway, I couldn’t recall specifically what the topic was but I distinctly remember Grace Lee saying - It always sucks the first time or something like, the first time is never enjoyable.

And I stopped to think - wow, I am not alone. So I say to all those who wonder and are fantasizing about how wonderful their first time will be… how different and unique their experience will become.. you are in for a rude awakening. Unless you live in a perfect world any one of these can happen to you.

You are both virgins and he is clumsy as hell. He has no idea where to start pleasing you and the minute you touch him, he comes.

He has tons of experience and the mileage to back it up. He has the touch and of course the moves. But experience thins the patience and your pain is suddenly his ecstasy. The amount of lotion or lube that he pours down on you is never enough to bring you to 7th heaven. And as you start to feel some semblance of desire, it is over.

In the real world, I wonder if anyone’s dreams have ever been fulfilled? What do you think?

Although I work at Makati CBD, the type of work I do does not require me to face clients often. If I have to be honest, I mostly spend my days (and nights) typing away at my laptop to connect to different people in different places around the world. I can say that about 75% of my colleagues do not even wear makeup (huwaaat?! - yea my mom has the same reaction). This means, I can be as lousy and as unkempt as I could be (not that I want to) and my laptop will not crash on me.

But being who I am (a.k.a true blue kikay), I cannot make myself come to work in the morning with yesterday’s jeans and a crinkled shirt (hmm… if its fashionably crinkled maybe). I carefully choose what I wear and how I wear my clothes.

I wasn’t always fashion conscious. Years ago, my rocker ex-boyfriend even had to teach me what’s in and what’s not. But watching Sex and the City every night and pouring over Cosmo every month made me so fashion-aware that I developed my own taste for clothing. Oh I make a lot of mistakes that would make me a fashion police victim but these only taught me what works for me and what doesn’t. There is no end to self-improvement, I might add. Now my rule of thumb has become… if you are comfortable with what you are wearing then it must look great on you. Not to say go out and buy yourself some stonewashed jeans and sneakers. What I mean is if you are wearing even the most expensive mini dress but cannot help but pull at the back conscious that your buns are showing… then minis may not be for you.

Now I have made dressing up in the morning an event rather than a routine and do it with as much passion as I can muster at 5:30 in the morning.

I have heard many of my friends and
