More on the 10 Overrated Things of 2008, Happy New Year

I’m on WiFi right now here in Robinsons Midtown. LOL, I enjoy every minute of it! So here I am. Oh, did I tell you that my Dad is currently here in Manila? That is the perfect way to end 2008, after a long, hard, crazy year. Shocked why am I enjoying WiFi? I just got my new Acer Laptop! It’s pink, has a built-in webcam, and quite rare since this color of the laptop doesn’t exist in the Philippines. Wow. BTW, Dad came here last December 27 and will be staying up to January 9. Perfect.

I still have a hard time thinking of the nex t 5 to include in my list of 10 Overrated Things of 2008. Finally after a long break, I’m gonna reveal to you my list.

*This is just my opinion, okay?

6. iPhone 3G- It looks like you already owned an iPod Touch that costs thousands of pesos. It may have a good 8GB memory, but you may just spend it on music and video instead of SMS and phone calls. Recently, Nokia 5800 was launched, with its features similar to the iPhone. Touchscreen phones are definitely the next generation of cellphones, I guess.

7. Pinoy remakes- They’re everywhere! From songs to TV shows, And sorry to say, I’m getting sick of those Tagalized songs. Have you heard the “Always Be My Baby” Tagalog version? You might want to turn off the radio immediately as soon as your hear the lyrics. During one of our chats with Dad, he said that Mariah and Copk will go ballistic. TV shows? I woulld say that so far, it isn’t good.

Who wants to watch the Pinoy version of Gossip Girl and Twilight? I don’t.

8. Twilight the Movie- the book is one of the best I’ve ever read. However, the movie met poor reviews, saying that the story wasn’t followed. Some of those who watched it said that many of the scenes were cut. I liked the film overall, except that it was disappointing after it media overhype. Sadly, it really didn’t work. Better luck next time to New Moon.


Now I made up my mind, I will just cut down to 8. I can’t think of anything overated anymore. How about tomorrow, which will be 2009? Will these things hype more or die down? Time can tell.

I wanna wish you all a very peaceful New Year! :)))
