Supahstah!
I was featured on TV today. Yey! FYI, this hasn’t been the first time my visage has graced the small screen. I’ve also been featured in a broadsheet when I was in highschool, with my picture and all. There was also this one time where I was utterly surprised to find myself included in a poster. It was for one of those exchange study programs abroad. It had a big picture of these exchange students in front of Six Flags Magic Mountain. And there I was in the background - an innocent bystander who was caught by the camera lens’ encompassing eye. So, technically, I was in a print ad, too. Yes, in my own little twisted world, I am a celebrity.
So, anyways, today I was on TV, in a show called Rated Oh. It’s kinda like a magazine slash episode recap slash talk show slash soft porn kinda show hosted by the fabulous Sam Oh. They shot a birthday special where we threw her a surprise, with matching cake and confetti. Then they had all of us "Friends of Sam" (a whopping total of 3!) say something on cam and give her a gift that had some kind of meaning. I gave her a prepaid internet card because she’s such an internet addict. I have to admit, I hammed it up a bit and even made this joke about how she goes online to meet strange men, which might have been funny in some cultures. I just decided to milk my 15 minutes of fame for all it was worth (it was actually more like 2 mins). They got my name wrong though. It’s Choob, but my caption said Chub. As in like "chubby" Chub, which I am not. But it doesn’t matter. For one brief shining moment, I was a supahstah! The correct spelling of my name is irrelevant, because tomorrow I shall be forgotten. Lost within the deep abyss with all the has-beens and the never-weres. There, I shall find my place, and sit beside the Macarena and Justin Guarini…

Me? Fabulous? Damn right!
The way you described the show worries me. We sound like a schizo show.
Haha, “Macarena” isn’t a person, it’s a SONG! You’ll have to sit beside LOS DEL RIO instead. No, I didn’t have LOS DEL RIO committed to memory, I had to google it. Puhleease. Speaking of, I have also come across the lyrics of the song which, when read, is fucking hilarious and ultimately ANNOYING. Therefore, I shall post it here
Give your body pleasure, Macarena
Because your body is for giving it pleasure
And good things give your body pleasure,
Macarena Ehhhh, Macarena Macarena has a boyfriend whose name is
Whose last name is Vitorino
And during his military swearing in
She got together with two of his friends
Macarena, Macarena, Macarena
Who likes the summers of Marbella
Macarena, Macarena, Macarena
Who likes the guerrila lifestyle
Macarena dreams of the Corte Inglesia
And she likes the most recent fashions
She’d like to live in New York
And trap a new boyfriend
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH…

So Macarena is actually the name of a woman, and the first line of the song is basically telling her to stick a finger up her p*ssy [EDITED on 23-Jan-2006 to appease censors]. She likes the guerilla lifestyle AND, like a tramp, gets together with two of her boyfriend’s buddies (to play scrabble? I think not). Wow, this should have been the theme song to Jarhead.

Chhob, you’re vulgar.

Yes. Even I shock myself at times. Although I do seem to remember a certain individual who blogged about her period.
