before going fg again, i first have to breathe out Tyler & James' win @ The Amazing Race 10!!! .. yay!!! with a lot of brawn and a whole lot of luck, they were able to finish first in the mat, followed by couple Rob & Kim, and the 'Bama moms Lyn & Karlyn. honestly i knew they'd win (since i'm a spoiler gal), but the little taxi race with Rob & Kim onto the pitstop was so suspense-filled i gave a big original shriek when it showed the boys arrived first. the absolutely dashing Phil gave his little spiel again about the "5 continents... " and there goes the hugging, smiling and crying and the family picture once more. =)

it was a good thing that the producers were able to squeeze in a bit of France in the one-hour (1 hour!!!) finale, but somehow this whole thing left me short because 1) it wasn't a two-hour ending which was always a standard in the previous seasons, 2) there wasn't much drama, and 3) there weren't much tasks before claiming the $1M prize -- mostly just transportation fidgeting. anyhoo, at least i was able to distinguish james (the hotter model) from tyler correctly on this show! hahaha... (believe me, i didn't really know dustin from kandice even after they were eliminated!) ;p ... another season is over, The Amazing Race All-Stars will come soon ~ summer next year i hope!

... i've also been watching TAR's sister show Survivor: Cook Islands... started some five episodes back. just so you know, i have heartily detested "Survivor" in the past for being such a pointless race (i have never watched any of the 10? seasons), but since i was bored one fine afternoon and it was airing right in my tv, i tried to watch and i got hooked. (look who's talking.) i'm just glad jonathan's finally out, and from the 6 that was left, my pick right now would be either yul or ozzy for the finale. =)



I love you Guido! You can be my roadside assistant anytime! *LOL*

i finally got to catch the movie "Cars" on DVD while de-stressing, home-alone style. i thought i'd never like it but i did! even if i'm not too keen on cars, the movie was certainly a good treat for my doldrums. i liked the story -- another warm n' fuzzy Disney magic there! and the characters are lovable -- Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater, Doc Hudson, Luigi and especially Guido! our man G is the assistant to Luigi's Casa della Tires, pitstop expert to McQueen in the race, and all-around Italian hottie! hahaha :D he was so cute when he did his Porsche Italia thing! i wanna watch "Cars" again, if just for him hihihi :) be rounding out other cartoons in my break -- i'm back to my childhood!
