Changes

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Change happens and along with it our perceptions of reality are also altered.

Cost-U-Less is no longer open 24 hours...though the pizza remains to be as delicious as before. There was not a lot of red tag items and we even saw an 8-oz. cup noodle selling for as much as P80. So much for our low-priced induced glee.

The Macau buffet is now part of a distant past...the previously unnoticed outback carinderia is now serving us with our usual tapsi lunch fare. Nevermind that a flying ipis always greets us everytime we're there.

The usual friday night-outs have been replaced with friday afternoon siesta. No longer do we see the Saturday dawn at the office. By that time, I would've been already fast asleep.


I was going over my previous entries when I saw my entry regarding cost-u-less...who would've thought that we discovered it more than six months ago...when it seems to me that we first walked into it's doors not more than two months ago. On the other hand, I also saw my entry regarding a recent trip to Fazoli's. Now, while it happened at just about the same time as the cost-u-less discovery...it seems longer than that. Oliver, Em-J, and I laugh about it as if it happened years ago.

The Fifth Hour

*Spoiler alert

This has got to be the most explosive season premiere ever. I was literally shocked. Though I am still a LOST fan, I have to say that in terms of plot development, 24 is by far the best. LOST has so much hype but they're already halfway through the second season yet so many questions are still left unanswered. And all that hype during the November sweeps was not at all worth it.

I was elated when I saw several major characters during the pilot but my elation was short-lived when they died. I was stunned. I don't think anybody saw it coming. From Sherry to Palmer and finally Dessler...almost all of my favorite characters are now gone. Let's just pray that Chloe survives this day.

24

The new year makes it easier for everyone to have new beginnings...and so it is the same for Jack Bauer. The 5th season premiered a few days ago and the non-stop season airs till May.



The 4th season is the best season of the series, the plot is not as contrived as the 3rd and in terms of story, they went back to what made the 1st season a hit. And with almost every major character from the past seasons turning up mid-season, I was not gonna be surprised if it was Nina Myers who was working with Marwan.
