Monday Mishmash

Head to Head
It will be a battle of the Davids. David Cook and David Archuleta face each other for the Season 7 finale of American Idol. Cook is the rock star of the house, while Archuleta is the resident crooner. Either one is deserving, so it will be a delightful thing to see this week.

Finally
Ellen Degeneres has announced in her show last week that she is getting married to Portia De Rossi of the Ally McBeal fame. According to the news, the California Supreme Court has granted rights to same gender marriages. And as I am a disciple of Team Ellen, I am very happy for the couple. Best wishes to the humdingers!

Season 4 Ends
Award-winning medical drama series Grey's Anatomy gears up this week for their two-hour finale entitled "Freedom". Technically, this will be the 16th and 17th episodes of the fourth season. Many cliffhangers deserve answers in the finale. What will Meredith and Derek arrive at, will Izzie and Alex rekindle their old flame, and what awaits Cristina, George, Lexie and the others? I'll surely lean on my television screen, as Shonda Rhimes says so.  For more scoop on the hit show, go to this site.

Me, A Shophag
Yesterday Ron and I took Uno to Greenhills for some bonding time. The little one enjoyed shopping for his toy and a pair of rubber shoes at Converse. It's our early gift for his 3rd birthday anyway! Of course, I picked the style and color of his Chuck Taylor kickers.  From Greenhills, we hied off to Glorietta for my turn to be a baghag once again!  Luckily, I scored a glossy blackish bag from Figliarina accented by silver chain link handles.  Thanks hubby, my dear benefactor.

New Scents from The Body Shop
Body Shop is currently on sale and you can enjoy discounts of up to 70% from all of their products. I bought a 30 ml. EDT Apple Blossom, their limited edition offer, which has a striking resemblance to D&G Light Blue, if my olfactory sense serves me right. Also available is a new scent called Aqua Lily available in EDT, body spray, shower gel and perfume oil.
