Halakhak-Takot: A couch potato’s report

In a span of 2 weeks, I finished watching the first season of Desperate Housewives with about 18(?) episodes.

In 2 nights, I finished Sex and the City's 1st season with 12 episodes.

Im officially a DVD marathon whore!

As I watched DH, I just can't help but admire and sympathize with Nicolette Sheridan's character; Edie Britt (pronounced eedie), the real estate agent whose a man hopping divorcee and has once been described as a man predator. As long as she likes a man, she doesnt care about the people she might step on and she'd do everything she can to thwart the competition.

As un-appealing her character may be, I still adore her to death. She's a person who is very true to herself and is not afraid to tell the world about it. No pretentions, no fake facade in front of her. She's a bitch and she's not afraid to admit it.

Bitch as she might be, she's still remains a good, ahem, friend to Martha Hoover. She might bitch(have I used that word too much now?)around her at times but lets not forget she never hesitated to take the lead in the search and rescue for Mrs. Hoover and that she was the one who came in to throw her ashes in the lake (unsuccessful as it might have been, thanks to Susan).

And speaking of the misunderstood and discriminated, lets move on to some more present matters at hand; read Paris Hilton's music career.

A few nights ago, I was watching Myx News accompanied by VJ Iya's austrailian accent. She reported, with much sarcasm and mockery in her voice, that Ms. Hilton actually went in tears as she was listening to her own CD for she was so proud of it and that she felt it was really good music or something

I mean, why the heck would you speak with sarcasm when your speaking to possible Hilton music fans? If that's not the right way to discourage and alienate your audiences, then I dont know what is. I mean come on! Were here to see what's new in the music scene, not to hear about your own "musical taste"!

I may not be a fan of Paris' music but I believe that we shouldnt judge what she does until we see it, in this case hear it, and I bet VJ Iya hasnt yet, so she's in no way authorized to give any comments. Paris Hilton is misunderstood, she's been dissed at by most people, so here I am right behind her and crossing fingers for her CD to sell-out(that's how we measure a popstar's success anyway).

Have you guys heared of the tagalog term iyak-tawa? Its what heppens when you get really hurt, and you got hurt in a so stupid way that you cant help but laugh and cry at the same time because of the pain. That's Iyak-tawa.

Well, just last night I caught Shaun of the Dead on HBO for what I think is the 3rd time now. Its this European(for Im not sure if its British or what) zombie flick that's a very funny spoof of Dawn of the Dead. I have to say its even better than the American movie it mocks. You see unlike Dawn, this one has a better conclusion. Plus it allows me to go Halakhak-Takot.

I think that's a new term I came up with. I never heard it before. And nope, it doesnt happen when your supposed to be scared, but the movie is so lame you end up laughing instead.

Halakhak-Takot happens when the movie is funny and scary at the same time. Just like Shaun of the Dead. You laugh as they try to kill this zombie inside the pub while the "God Save The Queen" song is accidentally played on the jukebox, giving you a sorta musical performance. And your scared as you see hordes of horrifying zombies trying to get in. That's Halakhak-takot.

…Have I been watching too much TV??? Catch ya'll later.
