Binge-watching Masterchef and my thoughts about season 5.



I've been watching Masterchef online nonstop because 
  1. Season 5 had started without me realizing it.
  2. I cannot catch it on TV everytime I'm at home. Yes, even the reruns.
  3. I'm still in the process of readjusting myself and accepting the fact that exams are here and I need to study more than I have been doing. So this is me, having the feast before the execution.
  4. Starworld airs the episodes super late and super slow. They're 10,000 episodes behind.
FIRST THINGS FIRST:

He lost it. Yep, he did. (@grahamelliot)

New crush alert!! Hi Daniel. 

So adorrrbbss. Haha what?

So
I like you guys a lot and...

I like you guys a little.

This part tho! I didn't like how Ahran said that Courtney is someone that she wants to send home because she's a fake bitch or something like that, but her way of throwing her anger towards Courtney is something that made me not like her at all. I thought she sounded insecure and envious of the attention Courtney was getting from the judges, but she's just 18 so it's normal (?)

P.S. I didn't like how she handled the Leslie situation on episode 5, too. Too much disrespect for my preference.

The person I never want to win, but I wouldn't want to go home at the same time because he's fun to watch. Plus the man knows his kitchen well, so kudos, Leslie!

I'm on the 6th episode now and look who came by to say hi. Last year's Masterchef Luca, and the Youngest Masterchef, Alexander! Apparently, theirs are the dishes that the top 16 were making. 

THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING RAMEKIN

 It all started with the Panna Cotta dish by Alexander that Jaimee attempted to recreate. It turned out a mess because it didn't set right.

What she wasn't able to deliver with the presentation, she compensated with the taste.

 "Maybe if there was the third one..." Queue the drama!

Of course, Chef Gordon Ramsay with his super blue eyes gets to the bottom of the problem and...

Tadaaaa! Here's what really happened.

Maybe in panic, Tyler accidentally got Jaimee's ramekin. At least that's what Gordon believed in, but apparently it wasn't enough to let him stay. Rules are rules. 

 In all fairness, he admitted to his honest mistake and accepted the verdict like a man. He even apologised to the ever-awkward yet super adorable Jaimee who, of course said, "No, I'm sorry that you got mine."


Thus the latest evictee of the Pinoy Big Brother House. Masterchef.

Watch with me! 
Every Sundays, at 8pm I think? on Starworld and Starworld HD.

Lea Michele had me crying buckets.

I haven't seen the whole lot, but surely, this part of the most recent Teen's Choice Awards had me crying after watching it. I haven't had the guts to post something about Cory's passing because I'm an avid fan and I just can't take it. Just because. It's just so touching to see something this heartwarming. Gahd.


“Thank you guys. Thank you. I just wanted to be here today to personally thank all of you and tell everyone out there how much all of your love and support has meant to me over these very past difficult few weeks. Thank you. Not that I had any doubt before, but you guys are most certainly the greatest fans in the world. And I wanted to dedicate this award to Cory. For all of you out there who loved and admired Cory as much as I did, I promise that with your love we’re gonna get through this together. He was very special to me, and also to the world. And we were very lucky to witness his incredible talent, his handsome smile, and his beautiful, beautiful heart. So whether you knew him personally, or just as Finn Hudson, Cory reached out, and he became a part of all of our hearts, and that’s where he’ll stay forever, so thank you guys so much. Thank you.”
I'm not sure how I'll be able to get over the passing of a partner, but kudos to Lea, she has gone through it graciously. I hope I can do the same if and only if the time comes. If and only if. Knock on wood.

xo.

Lumpy Space Princess

Among the many adorable creatures that inhabit the Land of Ooo, she's a character that really stood out (aside from Princess Bubblegum who is pink) and made my everyday dose of Adventure Time more exciting. I really think she should get more airtime.

The epitome of a bratty, appearance conscious, ranting teenager. Yet, she embodies sensitivity and confidence. The princess of Lumpy Space, anyone who watches Adventure Time should know her.
"I'm sorry that you're starving because I ate all of your crops, even though you're all still really fat, and I probably helped you lose some weight."
Purple and lumpy and complaining about how she's not the center of attention, LSP totally makes life in the Land of Ooo more exciting. She doesn't want anyone making fun of her voice (it's really weird, I even thought she's a he before I knew she's a princess). She's vain and conscious how she looks, always concerned about her lumps.




She's not in every episode of the show. :( I really hope she gets more airtime. She's the cutest!

What I also like about LSP is how she expresses herself.



Qotable Quotes:
  • "What the lump!" 
  • "Don't lumpin' yell at me!" 
  • "Oh my glob you guys, drama bomb!"
  • "I said, lump off mom. Is that lumpin' clear enough for you?"
  • "Just admit it, loverboy. You can't resist me."
  • "First, you should check out my house, it's like, kinda lame but way less lame than like your house."
