Disney Update

Just saw an episode of Sonny with a Chance (starring Demi Lovato and guest starring Joe Jonas). It must've filmed right before their breakup and subsequently her breakdown. I thought her show would've been cancelled by now You could tell by the way they look at each other that they're totally in love with each other, pre-breakup. Maybe her show will be cancelled by next season? Who can predict the future?

In other Disney news: Have you heard?  There's a new funky happening, hip show out there called Shape it Up! I'm so there! I'll give you the dl on it: it's a show within a show, mostly it's about two girls who get in a dance show but it's also about being a teenager in the slums of NY.

Happy Holidays!

Feast! Shop til you drop! Presents! Celebrate!
Year in, year out. Life is the same old, same old.
Is this any way to celebrate the holidays by spending money on meaningless gifts that won't be used. will most likely be returned to the store.
As for Turkey Day, what kind of celebration is that? We celebrate with food year-round anyways, so what's the point in celebrating it on Thanksgiving? (On a personal note, we're not having a big Thanksgiving feast b/c my brother's family left for town.)
Maybe I'm a cynic...
Isn't the holidays supposed to be relaxing, not the time of year that would cause a nervous breakdown for some ladies who have to cook, clean. do X-mas shopping. Life doesn't get any better than this.

Hope y'all have a blessed holiday (and no meltdowns)!

Prince William & Kate Middleton

Engaged!
He's totally off the market now!
Actually, he's always had Kate by his side for the past 8 yrs now! It was inevitable But they're officially engaged now! The paps have been hounding them to get engaged, to get married. well here you go gang! It finally (unfortunately!) came true!  The couple's now engaged, set to get married as of next year: A royal wedding, perhaps? Wait n' see!
He's one in a million! (Hope he's not like his father!) He's a keeper, Kate! Don't let him get away!
His engagement ring to Kate is his mother's (Princess Di, natch). I'll betcha that it's jinxed! I bet my bottom dollar that that engagement ring carries bad  luck all around.

Animal Cruelty

Treat animals-like humans-w/ dignity, humanity and respect! Even animals have rights. Be an animal advocate.
Though the only animals I prefer are birds, rabbits hamsters (rodents, if you will) and lovely felines. (I'm a girl. Girls love their cats and boys love their dogs, so sue me ;P)
Dogs are a total and complete nuisance. Someone I know has a dog who is not housebroken. He terroizes me (I hate dog. Stupid mutts.) According to her, to wreck everything in her apartment. She now has to keep him in a cage. Poor thing is locked up in a cage all day long. What's the point in having a dog if you can't treat 'im right? A dog should be allowed to run around in the backyard not cooped up in a cage. He is chewing up your stuff cuz you won't let him have fun.
Also the other lady got a new kitty after kicking her old cat out for being a destroyer of all things inanimate. Is that any way to treat an animal? Nosirree bob it isn't!
How inhumane! How indecent!

Sweet Valley

Great Sweet Valley News!
Diablo Cody has signed on to make a SVH movie based on the books set in the 80s (yep, the good ole 80s!) Yay!
In other Sweet Valley News, Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later is coming out soon set 10 years after the main characters, Elizabeth & Jessica Wakefield, identical twins of Sweet Valley High, has graduated from high school. And the best news yet? it's coming out the month of my b-day! Happy Birthday to me!
A lot of things can happen in ten years. For example, why are Elizabeth and Jessica not on speaking terms? Why is Bruce Patman, of all people, Elizabeth's friend?  Had Bruce Patman really changed? Why did Elizabeth split Sweet Valley for New York? What did Jessica do to her this time?
Is this the beginning of a whole new series or what? I guess we'll just have to wait n' see, won't we?

Demi Lovato

Sad but true.
Another teen star-another Disney teen star-has crossed over to the dark side. No I'm not talking about Darth Vader-type dark side. I'm talking about having a serious meltdown dark side. And when I mention another Disney star, I'm saying Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan. Like I read on one website, it may be the pressure of being a Disney kid, working overtime. Don't they have child labor laws-in this day n' age? Or maybe it could be b/c of her breakup w/ one Jonas brother (Joe Jonas, to be precise) he's a jerk for letting you go like that-he's just like to play w/ a girl's emotions-he's just a playa and seeing her w/ another girl (an actress, no less, probably doesn't even come close to being as talented as Demi Lovato), Ashley Greene so soon after their breakup (in a liplock, no less. Poor lil rich Demi Lovato. But one thing's for certain she still has her BFF, Selena Gomez, to lead on. Plus, she's getting the help she need b/c she's going to rehab for doing drugs. Her image, her reputation is tarnished. Maybe forever. But if she's willing to work at it, she will surpass all.
I wish her all the best. Demi, you don't need a boy to tie you down, a ole ball-and-chain. You gotta have faith to overcome whatever demons you have lying within you. Be strong n' be true to yourself.
Surrond yourself w/ friends like your BFF Selena Gomez and your castmasts from Sonny with a Chance and all your other Disney pals. Guys just rub you the wrong way. Don't let guys demean your character. You can stand on your own. Be your own person. No one is the boss of you except you.

Demi Lovato, We Love You! We're Behind You All the Way!!
You don't have to go thru this alone-we-your fans-send our best wishes to you.
Good Luck! Though your days may be dark now, you got friends-and fans-like your BFF Selena Gomez standing by you.

Love n' Kisses,
Your Favorite Disney Fan

The Pitfalls of Fame

Too bad for poor Janis Joplin. She had so much talent but made all the wrong choices in life that she died so young. She should have used that fame for something useful like to make something of herself or change the world. Poor Janis Joplin ended up dead of a heroin overdose. So much wasted talent.

During the 80s, River Phoenix died of an overdose at the Viper Room on Sunset Blvd. They just can't handle it, They become addicted to it (Yep, Johnny Depp co-owned Viper Room w/ River Phoenix. As of late, a lot of stars or former stars had been doing drugs. They don't seem to be getting enough of it.

Kate Moss, who tried it w/ her ex-boyfiiend Babyshambles Pete Doherty, but she straighten up her up her act. She had since broken up w/ her bad-news boyfriend and started her own clothing label, TopShop. Some people, some celebs come out of their drug-addicted state. Another example is Amy Winehouse, who is no longer wearing her famous beehive 'do, but is sober

Some people-some celebs-just can't get a clue. Just can't their life back like Lindsay Lohan, who's gone back n' forth to rehab. And let's not forget Paris Hilton, who's been hit w/ DUI, not once but twice. And don't talk to me about Mel Gibson and his supposedly drunken tirade. Ah the humanity of it all!

Tell me, why do we love celebrities so much? This ain't news; this is gossip. This is what people go to the their kick, their addiction daily. It's like a drug to them. Celebrity gossip is a drug to us common folk.

Don't forget to read your tabloids, honeycakes! You might find something useful (yeah, right)!

Psychedelic/Acid Rockers

A side note: they were called psychedelic/acid rockers were cause they were on LSD (acid), which causes them to see psychedelic images. Those acid made them into some fantastic rockers. Rock on, rock goddess.

Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane was of the psychdelic era. She may have been 'one of the guys,' but she made a name for herself beyond being 'one of the guys' She was awesome. She outshone the guys. She sings Psychedelic rock, acid rock, hard rock. Though she's not as well known now as in her heyday (60s), she's still is a hard rocker. She is from the old boys' school, but she was allowed to enter cause she was sang w/ the boys.

Her stage name, Grace Slick says it all. It says she is cool and confident and I don't care what people think of me. The guys in her band-Jefferson Airplane-didn't treat her any different just cause of her sex; they treated like an equal. All that matter to them was her wonderful emotional voice.

I guess all old-timers (Janis Joplin for one) are emotional. What I like best about the late Janis Joplin was the way she sang her songs w/ such raw emotion. I never heard a singer sing w/ such raw emotion before. Oh those pop singers of late don't count. They don't have much talent as either Janis Joplin or Grace Slick. They are so superficial; they have no substance. Lame the 9th degree. Now that I think about it, even dance videos (though they're my fave) are demeaning to women, showing them as sexual objects, not as human beings. Janis Joplin sang w/ such raw emotion, such emotional energy. She was no fake. She knew who she was and went for it; too bad she didn't realize her potential. Too bad she had to make all these mistakes, but I guess to human is to err in the way of the life. Many talented singers, not just the late, great Janis Joplin, died of an overdose and not just only singers.

Election Day-Make your Voices be Heard!

Didja vote on election day?? Shouldn't they turned it into a holiday to give people a break from the nitty-gritty-ness of work? Nah, just an idea I had. If they took a holiday of day-off from work, then how'll they get to go out n' vote?
Wish I vote so that I could've made my voice be heard. It's sorta like advocating for your rights.Whether you're conservative (Democrat) or liberal (Republican) you should make your voices heard LOUD and clear.
Like it or not, you're a citizen of the free world (USA), and the people have a right in their decisions they make that'll effect the lives of many individuals, including their peers. Okay, come to think of it, voting is like advocating for your rights.
Everybody has rights, including animals. For example, when they are treated inhumanely, people have the right to speak up for them that they are treated w/ animal cruelty. And also people who can't speak up for themselves must have others advocating for them.
So go out and make your voices heard by VOTING!!

Role Model

You know who my role model is? Taylor 'Fearless' Swift. She isn't afraid of taking chances, and she doesn't have to be mean to get to the top. Even though she won all these awards, it hadn't inflated her ego. This just proves that nice girls can win; they don't always finish last. She is a shining example for all of Young Hollywood/Nashville types, who has turned to drugs, alcohol, you name it, they tried it. She didn't became an overnite sensation overnite, but she had to work at it. She kept going at it; she had perseverance.

I could name a dozen other ladies that were like Taylor Swift who started when they were young (Janis Joplin, Joan Jett to name a couple) Joan Jett and Janis Joplin started in the music biz way, way before I was born. In the 80s (the 80s rock!), there was Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. And the 90s have the blondes babes: Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore, (who became a brunette so that she can stand out) and last but definitely not least (we can't forget) Britney Spears, (whose life lately has been marred by the tabs)! Speaking of the tabs, most of the 90s female pop singers' life has been scrutinized by the paparazzi and becomes tabloid fodder. No celebrity, whether female or male should live their life that way. Now with hi-tech technology like the internet people could get info about celebs not only from tabloids but from the world wide web. The Internet could be a dangerous tool in the wrong hand, but use wisely, it could be very useful like knowing when and where to dispatch an emergency call.

Giants At the World Series!

From here on in, I'm gonna keep tabs on the Giants on the World Series.
Go Giants!
The SF Giants won Game 1 of the World Series with the score 11-7.  If they win the 1st game, they just might win the other games in the series.Gotta have faith that they'll win all the games in the World Series! It's crazy-I mean CRAZY-downtown near the ballpark, I'll bet. Don't want to be in that mob. Glad I'm just an armchair fan.We so took down Texas tonite. The TV sports reporter said we took down the best pitcher of the Texas Rangers. If that's the case, then they must suck! The Giants are the best-I
mean THE BEST!This Uribe dude is unstoppable. He's a force to be reckon with. It's not only the Uribe guy it's a team effort.

The Giants have come a long way, baby!

Game 2 of the World Series: the Giants won 9-0. They have remained undefeated unstoppable throughout these two games. They must think they are invincible. Even I think they are invincible. They are gonna win this World Series! I guess I'm being a little over optmistic, but I guess being a pessimist is showing no faith for your team even if they are on a losing streak, which they're not. This is all hypo thetically. They are now and throughout this World Series remain on a winning streak, hopefully. Only time will tell.

Game 3 of the World Series:Texas Rangers beat the Giants by only 2 lousy points! (Final score was 4-2 in favor of the Rangers.) Dumb luck! How could've the Giants have lost so royally? Maybe it was the atmosphere? Someone said if the Giants are as good they say they are, then they could win anywhere. Doesn't matter where. Maybe they didn't have the support of their local fans? The hissing and booing of the Texas Rangers' fans didn't helped much.
Oh well, I guess you win some, you lose some, huh?

As for the stats: Right now, the Giants are 2-1. If the Giants override the Rangers in two more games, then they'll have the Rangers beat. We'll win the World Series in the first time since forever.

Game 4 of the World Series: Giants won 4-0. They're one game away from being the World Series champs. As of now, they're 3-1. Giants are the champs! Giants are the champs! It's a cause for celebration(mixed w/ Halloween, it would add to the mayhem!) Go Giants!

Game 5 of the World Series: Giants won 3-1. That means a 4-1 victory for Giants. They're the 2010 World Series Champions, as long as I've been alive. This is the first time since the Giants moved to SF that the won in the World Series! Kudos for the Giants! Victory for the SF Giants! Yay! A celebration is in order! Already fireworks is going off in my 'hood. I'll bet all the people in all the bars in the City are partying. It's Party Time!

GIANTS are the WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!!

There will be a parade to honor the SF Giants on being the World Seriges Champs (as if I didn't know that already!) at 11am on Wednesday. It's gonna go up Montgomery & Washington streets and go southbound on Montgomery to Market Street before continuing west on Market Street to Civic Center
Plaza. If you're a fan, you would go.

The Victory Parade-Ah the Victory Parade for our hometown heroes!-About time, huh? Well, lemme tell ya one thing. I'm not a very patient person by nature and this craziness, which I never seen before, sure there had victory parades for 49ers, but I've never been anywhere near downtown when they had them. Waiting for a bus for what seems like an eternity-really 15 minutes, but still...
Wish I could've been there, but me and crowd don't mixed well, so I'll have to contend w/ getting the highlights either online or on TV. But even if I went, I could only have seen crowds and crowds of people, not the main attraction, which was the SF Giants and of course our beloved mayor.
I'll bet my bottom dollar that the people are still out on the street celebrating. God, life is good! Definitely! Now, if only the 49ers win!

Giants are #1!
and
Go Niners!
Score One for the Team!!

Until next year, huh? As for now we can enjoy and let it all sink in (that we finally AT LAST) won the world series!!

We're the at the top of our game-
We're the
     2010 World Champs!!!
