Under the Weather...

Hey there, it's early Monday here, 12:40am, I know I should be in bed but I've been resting all day so I'm awake. Have to be early later for work though, good luck to me. Hee. I still am a bit under the weather but the cough is almost gone [thank God!], had a headache last night and even threw up. I hate throwing up. The last time I threw up was back February. My first hangover. Hee. Not fun but now I know how it feels to have a so-called hangover. I was good at avoiding having one since I didn't drink for years until I met a few people who introduced me to Absolut. Hee. All good though, not like I turned into an alcoholic, far from it. It's good to know I can drink if I want to. Last time was back in February too. I don't like to drink by myself. No fun in that.

It's the Emmy's once again, not as excited as the years before but I know I'm still going to watch it when it airs in mid-September. Here are some nominees that I am looking forward to win...hope they win. Some of my favorites [Scrubs, Jason Lee, Zach Braff, Gilmore Girls, Lauren Graham are snubbed once again...oh well.]

>> Outstanding Drama Series
* Boston Legal
* Grey's Anatomy

>> Outstanding Comedy Series
* 30 Rock
* Entourage
* The Office
* Two and a Half Men

They were supposed to be here back in September 2005 but that didn't happen. Now, I think, it's going to happen. I hope so. I am gonna watch with a few people I met via the Stephen Speaks Yahoo group [which is not active anymore] some years back. NG was supposed to watch this band a few months back, he had his ticket but he overslept and didn't make it to the gig. It's for charity nonetheless, his $20 went to a good cause nonetheless. For more info about this gig you may go to switchfootmanila.blogspot.com. Any of my other friends interested to go?

Elliott Yamin will have a series of mall tours in September as well, here's the sched from his Myspace:
Sep 21 2007 8:00P Trinoma
Sep 22 2007 8:00P Glorietta
Sep 23 2007 8:00P Market! Market! Mall
Sep 26 2007 8:00P Ayala Mall Cebu
Sep 29 2007 8:00P Alabang Town Center
Trinoma is near my area, I'm gonna make sure to go see the guy. Would be nice to hear him live.

Okays, that's about it for now, last full week of July 2007, WOW. Time really is amazing no? Here's wishing you a fine week ahead. God Bless.
