10 Overrated Things of 2008 (For Me)= First 5.

In a few days 2008 is over. Whoa, I just realized that time has sped by. I have to admit that 2008 isn’t really my year. What I love about this year is that so lot things have happened, fads exploded then dief, and many more. Then here are two things to separate the fads of today: overrated and underrated.

How to describe my favorite word “overrated”? It is to describe a person, thing or place that is overexposed, overhyped, overused. And what is “underrated”? Underused, underexposed, underhyped. Overrated things make me sick. They’re everywhere in the world, always on TV, always heatd. This year, so many things got popular for some random reason. However, some make me so sick of seeing or hearing it everywhere. Agree or not, here is my 10 Overrated Things of 2008 list for me. In random order! :D

1. Shutter shades= They’re cool, alright. It got so popular in our school that 90% of my batchmates during our outbound wore it. But what;s the big deal about it??? Come on, you only see bars and nothing else. It doesn’t differ from regular shades.

2. Miley Cyrus / Hannah Montana= So sick of this “singer”. Miley’s damn everywhere: she’s always featured on Total Girl and these teen magazines in the US, she’s ranked as one of the most beautiful (in my opinion, I don’t find her pretty at all), she’s got this merchandise in the kid department, and “top-selling” albums. The next Hilary? Noooooo! Then Miley posed for a controversial shoot in Vanity Fair, an act that didn’t please parents and some fans alike. Oh yeah, the juniors in school were grossed out when “Hannah Montana” was mentioned. I recently read an article about the most overexposed stars today….Miley came in with 40% of the votes. (Paris won this poll).

3. Nintendo Wii= I don’t know what’s with this Wii craze. You just get hold of the controller and you make the movements. Why does everyone want this? PS3’s waaaaaayyyy better.

4. Kimerald (for 2 years running)= Aahhh…my least liked loveteam in showbiz. Kim and Gerald never fail to annoy my TV set with all those lame shows (no offense, fans) and not-so-good acting. Their faces are always plastered on ASAP, those magazines. Gerald is fine with me because he has the looks and all….but Kim???? I wasn’t really happy when she won awards for Most Promising TV Actress. I don’t even like her singing! Plus. like I said, she had much more exposure than Gerald. I’d rather watch Piolo and Angel or Dingdong and Marian who took years before becoming famous than those ovenight sensations.

5. Facebook= Myspace’s biggest enemy, it’s clean and has lots of applications. But recently it’s trying to overtake MySpace which is the world’s biggest social networking site. The only disadvantage is that you can’t customize it with CSS. Many are joining it…I don’t know what is special about the website.

So there you have it, the first half of 2008’s Overrated Things. Tune in next week for the next half! :)
