(BLA-BLA-ing since 2002!)
Intro-LUDE
I'm Adri, a Californian nerdette dwelling at the East of the Golden Gate who loves to blog, take random pics, and make cool web stuff. I dig reading, music, singing, traveling, tea, food, Asian pop cultures, anime, manga, video games, the Golden State Warriors, the San Francisco 49ers, the San Jose Sharks, and the Oakland A's. I am a contributing writer for Technorati, Blogcritics, and KabayanTech. I am also a happy sitter to a family of cats, in which this current blog theme is dedicated to. [Extend →]

Christmas and Reading Stuff
Still unemployed and barely have any money to buy everyone gifts. Gift cards will have to do I’m afraid. I’m not wealthy after all.
On the other hand, the days from the 24th to the 31st would be seriously crazy around the house. Though everyone dreams of a White Christmas, I’m actually an exception. I’d like to stay as warm as I can while spending these days with the family, especially with relatives whom I haven’t seen for majority of my life so far. It would’ve been wonderful too if one day that we can spend at least one Christmas with the folks in the Philippines. It’s one thing that my parents admitted that they truly miss. It’s also one thing that my brother first experienced with his girlfriend several years ago when his girlfriend’s older brother and his then-fiancee got married there. I have a feeling that bro and gf/fiancee would also want their wedding over there as well. When that happens, that’s probably one huge chance that I can finally go there.
And of course, there’s other reasons why I want to visit the “old country” as well. Many of you already know what that reason may be. :)

.: BZ-B Ninja :.
Just like almost everyone else I’m jumping in to the bandwagon. I now have a new Tumblr account that I can play around with.
I may probably post a lot of my not-so-serious random stuff (primarily related to Bretzie, XLR8 or whatever fandom I get in to) over there, but at the same time I may write about some tidbits about my upcoming novel that I would write for this year’s NaNoWriMo. Just like how I can cross-post to my LJ and to the Bretzie LJ Comm (if it’s Bretzie-related), I can also cross-post to my Tumblr as well (that is, if I can find the right plugin to install…) :)
TweetBig 6 @ University of Santo Tomas
(This entry is cross-posted to the Bretzie LJ Community…)
On Wednesday, September 15th, five of the Big 6 arrived at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) for the school’s 7th USTv Students’ Choice Awards Kickoff Party. Apparently, the ever-lovable Ryan Bang was not able to attend because it is a school day for him and was not able to attend the event.
Below is a short video clip coming from a UST student (or simply part of the audience who is not from UST). According to the hosts of the event, “We have a LOVE TEAM here.” If you’re not sure what they mean by that then I would not be posting this entry in here. :D

The Latest 411…
Bret’s debut single All I Need is Love is now ranked #1 for most downloaded/purchased single at the Star Records website. Watch out for his next upcoming single, Now We’re Together, coming soon!
Bret was on college mode on Wednesday, 9/8. During the daytime, he and the other two of the Big 6, James Reid and Ivan Dorschner, as well as other prominent young male figures, had a campus tour of the all-female Miriam College. Then at night, he attended the Chalk Magazine 10th Anniversary celebration last Wednesday, 9/8. It was an open for public event (18 years and up) that celebrates the Philippines’ college life-related magazine that spanned 10 years, featuring lifestyles and trends of the Philippines’ prominent universities from Ateneo to University of Santo Tomas.
At the moment, both Bret and Fretzie are currently taking dance workshops at Star Magic on the weekdays starting sometime in early September during the afternoons (Philippines time zone obviously). If you are a local there and if you happen to live nearby ABS-CBN Studios, you can hang out at The Loop area to meet them right after. Just don’t be a stalker though…
Fretzie is part of the cast at the upcoming youth-oriented show (title pending) and the weekends-only series will be coming on air very soon, so stay tuned!
Tweet[ブレットジーについての夢] Global GT & Self-Reflection?
Okay, I have to be honest. I’ve been to gazillions of fandoms from anime/manga series, videogames, and even towards (Asian) pop culture/entertainment. I’ll also have to be honest that I occasionally dream about them (in which I find them eventual inspirations towards (fan)fic writing). But never have I dreamed so intense as how I’ve dreamed about Bretzie when I go to bed.
Lucky for me, I don’t get super-addicted that easily as pretty much my occupation/career heavily involves the internet LOL. :P But that just reminds me, I really need to get my ass down and find inspiration in how my portfolio site design is going to look like. It has to have a design that has my name all over it. Someone give me inspiration!
TweetFuture of the Bretzie LJ Community?
I’ve gotten involved with a lot of other things within the Bretzie Bunny foundation that I pretty much neglected the LJ Community. On the other hand, no one really goes there and I barely have any updates to share, except that the only thing that’s updated is their Current Itinerary schedule.
And since everyone has Facebook and they just go through the fanpage and PEX, the LJ Community has been pretty much neglected and forgotten by everyone. Ignored also at the same time. An LJ community with just one person who’s doing all the work isn’t going to work and now I’m pondering of closing it down.
Now with my newly-rebuilt blog now synced to the LJ Comm itself I may have to just write all the updates and entries here so I won’t have to go to the LJ Comm itself to make the changes. I think it’s more convenient this way since I feel a lot more inspired to write here than going to other places just to blog. Then again, hardly anyone comes to this blog either and that I have to ask people to come here and comment. Isn’t that pathetic? :(
Oh well, I… Continue reading
Friday the 13th: Chicken vs. Everything Else
To all the conniving douchetards out there— enjoy your chicken dinner while it lasted.
Friday the 13th— and the many days after— belongs to us.
An island is only one island. One small island. It doesn’t necessarily constitute its own nation or country, but it can also be a small portion of a bigger faction. So those who say an island is one nation, think again.
TweetIt’s TIME!
The Bretzie Bunnies finally got the official date for the upcoming Bretzie Fan Get-Together. This is the moment that we have been waiting for! After going through several reps and handlers of our sweet bunny couple, we finally got permission and confirmation of the event itself as well as the date itself.
The date is now set at August 17th, 2010. The setting is at Ortigas Center in…. Ortigas. The time and the actual location of the venue is still TBA, however if you ave an avid Twitter, be sure to reply to @BretzieOfficial for more information.
And that would be it, everyone! Sorry, that’s the only information that I have for you.
