A few days ago, Ghost Hunters had a live show for their halloween special. I didn't get to watch it because we had to take the kiddies for their trick or treating so I just recorded it. When my cousin and i were watching it yesterday, we got spooked by what we heard. There are only three people in this scene. Jason, Grant, and the cameraman. ENJOY!
I can watch this show OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I LOVE NCIS! I can watch the series all day, everyday and not get tired of it. My favorite character? Sp. Agent Gibbs! Played by Mark Harmon. I can stare at him ALL DAY! I get all tingly everytime. I think Special Agent Gibbs JUST kicks ass! Former Marine sniper, the way he can tell when someone is lying, his whole demeanor is just...WOW! And don't forget the coffee!
My favorite line from the show:
Abby (Hung Out To Dry, Season 1 episode 2): "Semper Fi! You rat, you fry!"
I would like to say Thank You to the crew of Destination Truth for going to the Philippines and investigate the story of the Aswang that so many of us has heard about when we were growing up. I was a bit disappointed though that you couldn't get any concrete evidence of its existence. Oh well, I guess the story of the Aswang will keep being just that. A story.
I would like to point out though that are more creatures that need to be investigated. And it also ties back to the Aswang. There is one particular story that is also very popular. They are called "Manananggal". They are "supposedly" children of the Aswang. They are humans by day, winged creatures by night. They look for a remote field and separate from their lower bodies and fly off to seek a victim. They like pregnant women so they can suck on the fetus with their long, stringy tongue and they like the elderly (the sick ones, those close to death's door). They say, one way to kill them is to pour salt on their lower bodies which prevents them from re-joining and when the sun comes up, they die. again, like I said, it's a story. One of the ways to know if you are in fact face to face with one in the daytime, is to have citrus (calamansi) in your pocket and squeeze the juice out. They don't like the smell. If the person starts acting wierd or crazy like, then you have just met a "manananggal' in their human form.
Another thing I would like to say is that, if you do decide to pursue this story, I would like to recommend that you take Jason or Grant (from Ghost Hunters) or both of them with you and LEAVE Ryder behind. A lot of people find her too skittish. And I am one of them. I just feel like instead of running towards the "subject in question", she runs away from it. How can you do a proper investigation with someone like her? She freaks out too quickly. She needs to chill out!
Let's do a recap of last season. On the 5th season finale, the Director of NCIS was murdered as she tried to protect Sp. Agent Gibbs (Mark Harmon) from being a target of a mission gone wrong due to the change of heart of his then partner Agent Shepard (the Director) (Lauren Holly). Anyway, a new acting director has been brought in to oversee the investigation and Agent Gibbs conducts his own investigation and tell his team to keep an eye on the new director. At the end of the show, the acting director has been promoted as the new director of NCIS and decides to split the team up.
On Tuesday, September 23 at 8:00 PM PST on CBS, NCIS is back with its 6th season! Gibbs meets his new team and gets straight to work on the murder of a navy petty officer in which he finds a connection to the new director and the reason why the team was split up. So Agent Gibbs finds a way to get his old team back.
About five years ago, I considered a career on being a make-up artist. I did some research on it and I thought, hey, I could do that. Why not? I like make-up, I like putting on the stuff and I like to color anyone's face who was willing to let me. I never did get around to doing it. I didn't really know much about the requirements for it. I know for one, the easiest way to break into that thing was to be an apprentice of someone already in that industry. That was difficult. Because the only person I knew in that industry lived all the way in CONNECTICUT! So, I decided to train myself. I bought books, videos, brushes, and a ton of make-up. Like you wouldn't believe! I had an ENTIRE backpack, full of make-up. Now, the only problem was...who to use as my guinea pig (so to speak)? Since I couldn't find anyone and my daughter was still too young, I practiced on myself. I tried different techniques and I would call my friend for some advice.
I finally got my break when we were on vacation. My aunt was going to a wedding and she asked me to put her make-up. I didn't get paid of course. I didn't have the heart to charge her. Besides, that was my first time to put make-up on my aunt. I was so nervous, I didn't want to disappoint her. She helped me out though. When I was done, she would tell me which areas I needed to put more color on. Until she was satisfied.
When I saw her the next day, she told me that she had a lot of compliments on her make-up. WOW! That really made my day and it made me feel more comfortable with being a make-up artist. So, the next wedding we went to, she asked me again to put her make-up. But she wasn't the only one. I also put make-up on my younger cousin and her sister. I had to convince her sister to let me put SOME make-up on her. And after that, she too had SOME confidence in me. Take note, I said some.
But sadly, all that enthusiasm quickly went away. Why? To be honest with you, I don't really know. I guess, after we came back there was just no one to practice on anymore. And sadly, after two years, I had to get rid of all my make-up because they expired. That, and I found a new brand of make-up that I have been using for the past two years. It's called Bare Minerals. It's in powder form and it looks very natural on your skin. You can't tell at all that you are wearing make-up. I love it. But, I am still looking for something that would provide full coverage, and at the same time un-noticeable on your skin.
I just finished watching the Democratic National Convention on CNN and I have to say... THEY ROCK! I originally supported Hillary Clinton and I was disappointed when she lost the primaries. So I listened to what Obama had to say and all I can see is that their views and plans for the future are somewhat the same. Last Tuesday, Hillary Clinton gave a very good speech and gave the republicans "what for". Tonight, as my husband and I watched Obama give his speech, it was directed at all americans. No matter who you are.
Of course, after the show, they had a segment where the republicans try to dissect everything that was said and confuse the people all over again. This one guy, Tom Reeds? Anyway, the guy on Larry King said that if you make less than $40,000 a year, you don't pay taxes. WHAT?!?!?!? Are you sure about that? Because I live in a one income household of 6 and my husband makes LESS than $40,000 a year and WE PAY OUR TAXES EVERY YEAR! If he doesn't pay his taxes, then why is he giving about $7,000 back to the government?
This is just one of the many opinions that I have in politics. I try to stay away from blogging about politics because I don't want to get in trouble.
I can’t wait for the season 4 premiere of Supernatural on the CW! The show returns on Thursday, this September 18, 2008 at 9:00PM following Smallville.
When season 3 ended, we saw Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) hanging with hooks attached to the skins on his arms and legs shouting for his brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) to help him. Oh yeah, he was supposed to be in “hell”. He sold his soul at the end of season 2 to bring his brother back from the dead. And the demons only gave him 1 year because their master really wanted Dean.
I have seen a clip that shows the first 5 minutes of the premiere episode and i have to say....it is really worth waiting for. But it is also frustrating, because from what I understood, the creators of the show will NOT be showing any previews until the show returns next month! UGH! C’mon! How can they do this to us?
Anyway, the person who made this video,Quillswift, did a very good job of showing us in what to expect for the next season. Tuesday, August 26, 2008
