Four kilometers of Hell :P

I was sitting in my car the other evening, exasperated from the heavy traffic in the metropolis, and began contemplating the many 'four kilometers of Hell' we have to go through because of inconsiderate drivers (private vehicle/jeepney/bus/motorcycle/tricycle) and pedestrians (all shapes and sizes).

1. My office to the Susana Heights tollway entrance.
2. The SM Southmall parking lot to the Vivere Suites entrance (Unbelievable, but true).
3. My home to the Alabang Hills Village rotunda between 7:00am-8:00am, Mondays-Fridays (Many a pre-school, grade school AND high school students to compete with on the road).

Hmmm, I will continue to expand this entry (got to measure some more car trips) ;)

Penny for your thoughts?

I heart CSI :D

I read this today on www.csifiles.com regarding the ratings of Crime Scene Investigation vs. Grey's Anatomy on Thursday nights in the US:

"CSI creator Anthony Zuiker shares his take on the competition between top-rated shows, CSI and Grey’s Anatomy. With the season half over, both shows are still going strong.

CSI leads in total viewers, while Grey’s Anatomy wins out with the all important 18-49 demographic. Though at last weeks People’s Choice Awards, CSI suffered a blow when Grey’s won Best Drama."

After catching the first 10 episodes of CSI Season 7 c/o a friend's DVD, I can't wait for the show to begin on Asian TV (When, AXN? When?). I also found one more reason to tune into it rather than Grey's Anatomy (Clue: Stud muffin on the left)...

Send in the clowns

CBS has announced the participants of The Amazing Race All-Stars (beginning 19 February 2007, Manila time) and I have three questions for the network...
1. Where are the clowns (Al and Jon, Season 6)?
2. Where are Colin and Christy "I hate you!" / "My ox is broken!" (Season 5)?
3. Why Romber (Rob and Amber) again?!? I guess so that I'd have a team to loathe.

Anyway, check out the teams:
1. Joe and Bill "Team Guido" (Season 1; third place) — partners
2. Kevin and Drew (Season 1; fourth place) — buddies
3. Ozwald and Danny (Season 2; fourth place) — friends
4. Teri and Ian (Season 3; second place) — married
5. John Vito and Jill (Season 3; fifth place) — now ex-lovers
6. Charla and Mirna (Season 5; sixth place) — cousins
7. Uchenna and Joyce (Season 7; winners) — husband and wife
8. Rob and Amber (Season 7; second place) - professional reality show contestants/
newlyweds
9. Eric and Danielle (Season 9; separate teams) — met as Amazing Race opponents
10. Dustin and Kandice (Season 10; fourth place) — beauty queens
11. David and Mary (Season 10; sixth place) — cuddly marrieds i.e. Kentucky!!!
