..i suddenly remembered my favorite dog named "orange". maybe you're wondering why on earth i called my dog with such name. well, i called my dog orange for three reasons. first, it's my favorite fruit and second, it's actually one of my favorite color and lastly, i am tired of the usual dog name whitey or blackey.

another reason that made me call him orange, is because he's all white furred and he has two orange spots (one is larger than the other) at his back. tell you what, i wish orange was still alive. i hate it when i remember the cause of his death. he was hit by a soda truck. i still feel sorry for what happened to him. until now, i miss that dog. he was no nice and he was one of the dog whom you can rely with in terms of security. i remember when he usually go to the store and guard it especially when we're not around. how bout you guys, have you ever had a dog like that?

..i have known someone who is a natural problem solver. he's a fil-am friend of mine. i wish i could be like him, he's so cool when it comes to solving his own problems and others problem as well. he easily gets out of a particular problem or situation in a snap. sometimes i wonder how he manages his problems.

typical filipinos handle problem so lightly as if the problem doesn't exists. unfortunately, i am not part of the typical filipino bracket. as to how i see them, they are fond of procrastinating. the good thing though is that they always seem to be happy besides having so many problems at hand. they always think of problems as if they were a joke on them.

..i had this dog named shelby, as seen in the picture. she's a labrador given to us by my dad's colleague. she's very beautiful, and i like stroking her golden fur, and cute stance. this picture reminds me the day before she got very sick which lead to her death.

i named this dog shelby because it so happened that i was watching the series smallville wherein the episode was about two dogs, one named shelby and the other one i forgot the name. one more cool thing about it is, they were injected crushed meteorite which make them really strong, as in they can destroy steel in no time. in the episode, they were used as robbers. well, of course i didn't name my dog shelby for that reason. haha!

i still wish i still have her at home. some people that i know, and that my mom knows gave us puppies us well, but they are just street dogs, i loved them as well but unfortunately, they died as well. huhu!

..nick and starr(siblings) won the race around the world. miles and miles of journey in a race for a million dollars, they may have not enjoyed the sceneries of places they've been since they're on a race but surely have enjoyed the green bag.

this is one of the seasons that i was able to watched 80% of the episodes. the last time that i was able to watch a season of the amazing race, was the season wherein it was a family that was on the race.

at the very start, nick and starr were already considered as power players and they almost dominated the race. both are extremely driven and competitive, especially with one another. they almost always end up as first placer. they also had one time that they almost got eliminated from the game but still made it till the end. they actually believe that their charisma, wit and relentless spirit will make for a dangerous combination.

one unfortunate event that happened this season is that of dallas and his mom. they unexpectedly lost their passport in russia which cost them a fortune. it's also the first time i see that someone from a team had a thing for another person of the other team just like dallas and starr.

let's wait for another exciting season, coming very soon.

..jc tiuseco, 23, basketball player from the san sebastian college was proclaimed as winner in the first season of survivor philippines, he won 3 million pesos worth of cash prize(tax free), a car, and a souvenir ball which symbolizes as the first ever pinoy sole survivor and let's not forget one thing that is sure in pinoy shows, that is a chance to enter show business.

i never really got to watch the filipino version of survivor, considering it was gma7 that got the copyrights, i really wish it was abs-cbn that had it. honestly, the only episode that i watched is the reunion special last sunday.

in the first two weeks of the show, i already knew who won the game. spoilers were already spilled out to some viewers. if you happen to be a fan of the original survivor, you will easily notice that the location where they played, and almost all of the challenges, are all indeed recycled. the original survivor in the u.s. is still as good as ever.

another unbelievable thing that happened with this pinoy version is that there is what they call "boto ng bayan" wherein us, filipinos have a say in the game in case of a tie.

i also can't believe on how much money the pinoy castaways gets when they get home considering the order of their cast-off. i believe in the original version, the second placer gets about $700 to $800 gran. but here, the consolation for the second placer is only 300k pesos, which of course is quite little considering that the sole survivor gets 3m pesos.

it was also this very first season that the sole survivor was also the one who won the car challenge. if you haven't known, never in the original survivor series, has a car winner won the title as sole survivor. that is why they say that the car is a curse.

let's see on how many seasons can they get.
