phewww, so i'm not the only one who's totally diggin mtv's the city!!

check out this great recap from the gals at nymag's the cut. so dead on with their synopsis, it's like they probed my little brain as i watched the show!

best excerpts:
"Whitney invites Jay, but he doesn't want to go because he doesn't like Olivia and her friends. Oh the uptown-downtown divide! Which will Whitney choose?! Her neatly pinned side braids say uptown, but her inner slut says downtown. We hope she chooses downtown and does all those things you're supposed to do when you first move here, like getting falling-down drunk every night, making out with random hotties until you catch a bad virus, and trying cocaine."

"Episode two opens when he invites Whitney to lunch, at which he wears the most obnoxious headgear fake hipsters ever discovered: a straw fisherman's hat. He tells her Jay is hooking up with his roommate's best friend, whom he used to date. Or something. We were distracted by his heinous hat and couldn't focus on the nonsense coming out of his mouth."

could not have said it better myself! brilliant!

also, do check out the fug girls' blog (no really, that's the name of these bloggers for ny mag, i wasn't referring to a girl from the show that i'm just calling fug!). anyway, they too are consumed by the show and even go on to dissect every last bit of the show's trailer.

okay fine, how about one more little read before you go. boy, ny mag hearts the city about as much as i do! here's their (unusually long) feature story on the show.

.......and into the city!

verdict? 4 outta 5 dvf dresses.

i know, kind of a high rating right? well that's just the preliminary verdict after 2 back to back eps. so far no one's annoying me, so that'll keep the rating up there. but if speidi somehow weasels their way in here by some wacko bolthouse x dvf function then it's an automatic 3 dress deduction. :-)

in no particular order, here are some of the reasons i shall be tuning in again next week:
- the hotspots and fashion of nyc. each episode's like its own mini where to go to eat, shop, and party guide! haha!
- a dvf fashion show and dresses to die for! wonder if little lc is plotting a way to crash whit's show and get hired on to the fashion house. she does after all like to ride on whit's coattails. hee hee, i'm such a hater.
- the battle between the uptown vs downtown gals for whitney's soul, errrr.......her screen time.
- strangely fascinated by olivia (yes, i too dream of being reincarnated into an uptown ny "social" who throws fabu dinner parties all over town). we'll see if olivia's really a wolf in blair waldorf's clothing. oooh, one can only hope and wish!
- jay as the new justin bobby. just with a much hotter accent.
and finally....
- 2 guys fighting over whitney right off the bat in her second ep! even lc coudn't score that kind of man drama! go whitney!

you know i'm talkin bout gossip girl!! finally caught up on my gg over the weekend and i need more! more! more!

i'm so proud of this little show. even in its second season, the writers haven't skipped a beat - the storylines and dialogue never disappoint. although i was a tad worried at the beginning of the season with the whole nate/duchess/blair/prince vs chuck storylines. but then the writers brilliantly took it another direction with the humphrey kids almost turning to the dark side - little j almost selling her soul to the fashion devil (agnes be thy name) and lonely boy almost exploiting the bart bass empire to further his writing aspirations (thankfully dan just exploited all of chuck's daddy issues to the big bass himself).

then just when i was really starting to loathe this whole nate hearts little j storyline, they nix it and bring nate back to who he was supposed to be with all along, vanessa! hooray! by the way, nate = manwhore. he's gone from serena/blair (slept with both circa season 1) to vanessa (didn't sleep with) to duchess (slept with for money!) to jenny (just a makeout sesh, thankfully) and back to vanessa (who he probably slept with in the limo on the way home from the snowflake ball seeing as how she was practically nekkid anyway in that sheer dress). at least chuck keeps it outside the friend circle, w/ the exception of blair of course.

speaking of which, somebody tell me why i was BALLIN during the last episode with all the back and forth between blair and chuck. daddy bass dies, chuck of course goes on a bender, blair reaches out to him to help and admits she loves him. chuck walks away and leaves her devastated, blair falls apart in front of her future step dad of all people (that's the part that really got me teary-eyed), then chuck comes back to her only to leave again the next morning! if it were any other pair, i'd probably think this storyline has dragged on too long, but considering the nature of both their characters, the back and forth actually makes sense.

what doesn't make sense? mr. pseudo-polygamist art boy + serena. let's get rid of him pronto, writers. s + lonely boy forever!

and to end things with a bang, we have the original s + lonely boy. their parents, rufus + lily. just when we thought the stars were aligned for these two, they encounter yet another road block when rufus asks the all-revealing 'was it a boy or a girl' question. omg!

p.s. best LOL moment of these last few episodes = dorota's ringtone. "i'm a slaaave, for you." oh my frikkin god, i just about died of laughter from that scene. perfection.

so are you just gagging from all this teen drama? or lovin it all like i am!

don't even get me started on the you-know-what books. i've been purposely sparing you all the details into that wicked obsession of mine. :-)

and since i'm still in teeny bopper mode as i continue to write this post, yes i did watch the hills season finale last night (even though i missed the last 5-6 eps leading up to it!). total dud. totally predictable. they gave everything away in the previews and lead up to the finale. i had the show on mute most of the time because i can't stand spencer's voice (p.s. do make sure you watch the soup - joel mchale loves ripping apart spencer and his flesh colored beard!). but i will say that brent bolthouse takes the prize with my fave moment of the episode. while at "work" heidi reveals that she got hitched in mexico over the weekend and the bolthouse's reaction? a pause........and then a "well, okay then.......". she was fishin for a congrats but you didn't take the bait, bolthouse! props.

okay, let's jump out of the teenage bubble now. in case i don't get to check in before the holidays, merry christmas and happy new year!

The filipinos have made it onto Ryan Seacrest morning show.....


Filipino Version Of Twilight To Begin Production Soon

Tweenies all over are outraged over news of a Filipino version of Twilight for television set to begin production soon.
Actors Rayver Cruz and Shaina Magdayao will be portraying Edward and Isabella, respectively, in the ABS-CBN production which will treat the vampire love story as "drama, romance, and fantasy."
It will be directed by Cathy Garcia Molina and is scheduled to begin filming sometime in February, in both the Philippines and abroad.
The news comes as an upheaval to Twilighters across the internet, who have started an online petition to halt production on Takipsilim because it will "ruin the real Twilight."
Oh don't worry, the American money-grubbing sequel is already working on that!
