New Addition

PRECIOUS CARGO
What a lovable little guy! Sandra Bullock holds tight to her then 6½-month-old son Louis at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas in July. The actress had a roller coaster of a year, winning an Oscar, filing for divorce and adopting her little "Cajun cookie" from New Orleans.

One man left, another comes along. I think, that's what happened here. He's a lovable boy. Gorgeous too! No need to use GenF20, as it look like he loves his food.

Stars Look for Less

TAYLOR SWIFT
Country's sweetheart perfectly toes the line between sexy and sweet in a shimmering ZSpoke by Zac Posen halter dress, minimal accessories and light make-up at the 58th annual BMI Country Music Awards. While a halter cut dress is a universally flattering silhouette, this sultry style should be reserved for nighttime affairs.

MOLLY SIMSRed is the ultimate holiday hue! Sims ramps up the festive color in a sequin trimmed Marchesa tunic and black tights at the 5th annual Fashion Delivers gala in N.Y.C. Like Molly, try recycling your favorite summer heels by pairing them with opaque nylons.

REESE WITHERSPOON
The How Do You Know star knows a mini dress with corset boning highlights a petite frame, confidently posing in Zac Posen at the film's L.A. premiere. While an LBD is always holiday-appropriate, added flair – like adorable ribbon detailing! – can help you stand out this season.

Party is not in my vocabulary really, ever and now, (not because of the payday cash advance issue, but I am really not into it) though I still admire some of the party clothes that I believe would have fit me nice, if I ever want to go to a party.

•Feminine Ballet slipper design with a double mary jane style strap

I bought myself this for Christmas. See, I don't want many things but I can't resist the temptation as I went to the sports shops to buy Mcj some hats and saw the shoes. So there, no Photo Christmas Cards this year. I also score myself a hair straightener, my first time and I haven't tried it yet. I have to postpone having a hair cut.

Favourite Couple

THREE FOR THE ROAD
After a few days of fun and relaxation Down Under, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and daughter Sunday, 2, depart Australia from Sydney Airport Thursday.

Yes, aside from the Afflecks, these are my favourite couple/family. It's lovely to see them all together in one photo. I'm really a sucker for happy family celebs as you can find few these days.

Now, onto something important for this holiday season. The shari's berries chocolate. I wonder where can I get it here from Down Under. Have to check out online for this. I checked at the shops today for some berries for cooking but I reneged on the last minute opting for ready to prepare food. All for the best anyway.

My Favourite Celeb Couple

"I end up at, like, CVS on the 24th being like, 'Maybe she'd like a little Godzilla that goes around.'"
– Ben Affleck, on shopping for the perfect Christmas gift for wife Jennifer Garner, on The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Well, I'm on best radar detectors mode again on the hunt for latest photos of my favourite celebrity couple.

Joining the Hype

SWEET DEAL
Touring Australia is a piece of cake for Oprah Winfrey, who makes a surprise visit to an Australian family – and scores some sweets! – as she continues her Down Under adventure in Toorak on Friday.

I'm reluctant to say I am an Oprah fan but I feel the same to say that I am not. I'll just be in the middle. I watch O if I have time and the topic interests me but I don't sought it out. I don't check it out the net unlike insurance quotes.

But most of the telly stations (free to air, that is) has news about her in almost every news program. Might as well post one here. But that one nice sweet there, I reckon.

Royally Beautiful

ENGAGING
Prince William and Kate Middleton shared not one, but two official portraits by Mario Testino with the world.

I'm not really into royal news - gossip or not (is it better than playing with psp) but I thought, these photos are really good. Well, Wil's smile is really controlled unlike Kate's. More open. I suppose that's the royal smile. Not showing the laugh lines on the cheeks.

Car Bed

My parents in law is planning to buy The Tatapilla a car bed. That is one of things that I have to shop around. They saw one where they bought my mother in law's mattresses but I want to get the best price, so I want to check out every furniture and bedroom stuff stores.

Wet Weekends

It's been almost a month of weather like this on weekends. Rainy. I can't get my washing dry out on the line. Big pet peeve for me. I have some things planned to do that although they were mostly indoors, weather such as this make driving uncomfortable for me.

I suppose, I should be thankful that I don't have to resort to honda snowblowers to get out of our driveway.

I'm almost done with my cooking and cleaning. More blogging to do though and I want to read books today. Plus, some shopping for The Tatapilla's bed.
