Good Bargain

When I hit the shops, there is this particular shop that I visit every time. I always check the prices of their EDT. They don't see the cheapest perfume but when most of the times when they put product prices down, it's really good.. even better than the known warehouse store. I don't really check all the products so I am not sure if they also put knee sleeve on special.

Yesterday, I bought these. These didn't cost over $20 each. How good is that? I made a rule that I won't buy perfume over $20 in reasonable size though. Oh, these are for future pressies.

Grab Meryl Streep’s Bottega Veneta Knot

We watched the movie It's Complicated last night. Aside from the fun I had watching the movie, it didn't get past me the clutch that Meryl Streep had in almost all casual affair in the movie. I've been dropping hints to Mcj that I like it. I found out that it is Bottega Veneta. Now that's the brand that I won't and can't buy. :) Imagine, me buying a clutch for $500. I'm even reluctant to pay that much to Medicare plan, how much more to a clutch? But, I'd surely search for something like it.

New Do and The House

You see, even a hair-cut is big news. I suppose for Jennifer Aniston it will as her do as Rachel Green was really a hit.

The $42M home is actually very vast, I would say. And it looks like, privacy is also prevalent.

And yeah, Jen has been sporting all black lately. As usual, very classic and stylish. It never goes out of style. I also like the ruffled dress she wore in Berlin to promote her movie, Just Go with It. Speaking of the movie, it seems really good and one can lie down and have some Dutch Master while watching. The review wasn't great but the viewers gave high remarks. That's what counts.

JENNIFER ANISTON

Who needs a gown? An all-black ensemble, like Aniston's slim tank and high-waisted sailor trousers, transitions seamlessly from day to night – and puts the spotlight on her sexy new 'do.

Trend-setter, Not!




Your Style is Classic



You want clothes that will stand the test of time, and you're willing to invest in quality pieces.

You don't fall for trends, and you don't change your style very often.
You know what looks flattering on you, and you stick to it. People can count on you to be well dressed.
When you want to change things up, you'll experiment with some color and accessories. You know a little goes a long way.




I believe, this sums up my style. I stick to what works rather than experiment on something new that is not tried and tested. Regardless if I look the same as that of 5 years ago - which I am sure not. adult acne aside, I've changed a lot but not really my clothing style.

Proud Parents

... shall I say. I like these couple also. They seem to be happy and have overcame any obstacles they encounter (no, not about best diet pill for women). They always appear in public together and support each other in every event that each one of them go to.


GOOD CALL

Think they're sharing pics of baby Faith? Proud parents Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban give director Baz Luhrmann a peek at something on their phone while taking five in the front row Sunday night.

The Royal Invite


With its gold lettering and gilded edge, this stiff white card has been arriving in the mailboxes of some of the best-connected people around the world.

It's the invitation heralding the wedding of William" and Kate Middleton, and it's gone 
out to 1,900 people, from kings to charity leaders, to close family and university friends, old schoolmates and prime ministers around 
the world. 



 Fittingly for the celebration, it is decorated in gold writing and emblazed with a matching insignia of William's 
grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, in whose name the invitation is sent.

The edges of the card – which is about 10 in. by 6 in. – are beveled and then gilded. 



The simple wording reads that the Lord Chamberlain has 
been "commanded by the Queen" to invite the holder to the marriage at Westminster Abbey at 11 a.m. on April 29. As for the dress code, guests are asked to wear military uniform, a tailcoat or a business suit. 



The invitations went out on Wednesday and Thursday. Meanwhile, 600 of the 1,900 guests also have been invited by the Queen to a reception that she is hosting immediately after the ceremony in the Abbey. 



Later, around 300 of those 600 guests are invited to a 
dinner hosted by William's father, Prince Charles, in the evening at Buckingham Palace. 



 Prince William's office is not releasing the invitations to those events, as they are private. 



The couple is expected to stay in London that night, before starting 
their honeymoon on April 30.


It looks simple enough but I guess, being royalty doesn't have to be all lofty. Simplicity is beauty in itself. What I'm sure is anyone who receives it will surely keep it safe and might become a collectable in the future. One of those things that people share in the Roadshow program. People who will flock the event wont bother to worry about lipozene reviews as I'm thinking, they would be busy enough mingling and just soak up the event. It only happens once or twice for Prince Harry.

$42M Home


Jennifer Aniston's Beverly Hills Home Goes on Sale for $42 Million

Jennifer Aniston is ready to "simplify" her life – and is getting started by quietly putting her Beverly Hills home on sale to the tune of $42 million.

The actress, who just celebrated her 42nd birthday, told PEOPLE recently that despite dedicating more than two years of her life to renovating the Zen-influenced retreat, she feels the need to let go of it.

But window shoppers beware: The home will not be listed officially and only an elite group of realtors will have access to the property, real estate sources tell PEOPLE. The sources confirmed the selling price.

The Just Go with It star bought the home she calls "Ohana" – a reference to the Hawaiian idea of extended family – for $13.5 million in 2006. She and her team tore it apart and spent more than two years renovating it, and she moved in just before her 40th birthday in 2009.

Built on a hillside in 1970 with sweeping views of Los Angeles, Aniston told Architectural Digest the single-level home feels "like a hug" and "vibrates with the love that created it."

So why does she want to move? Her epiphany came, she says, in a moment where she woke up in London and thought, "my life felt really cluttered."

"I couldn't sleep and I sort of had one of those moments where I went, I really need to simplify," PEOPLE's recent cover girl said. "My life needs to be simplified and clear out the clutter. And along with that thought came, 'I should sell my house.' ... I had the realization that this is just too much for me. I'm not this person."

Though Aniston has another smaller home in L.A., she may end up living far, far away from Beverly Hills. "I don't know, I'm looking for little spots in New York City to go back home," she said. "There are all sorts of things that are going to be happening in the near future so I'm excited. I don't know what they are, but that's the fun part."

I've long read somewhere that Jennifer Aniston was scouting for a place in NY. So I believe this news confirms her move. Of course, rv financing is not known to her, what with $42M home.

Affleck Felx


OUT OF 'TOWN'

Ben Affleck's got his bag packed and is ready for takeoff Friday, as he makes his way through Los Angeles International Airport.

I have become one of his fan when he married Jen Garner. They're my favourite couple now, seems so down to earth and just a typical ordinary family.

His stance here looks relax, not in a hurry to tackle steel drum. I wonder where he's off to.

On Jen Garner


"There's a brand of red-velvet cake; her mouth is made of that."
– Russell Brand, kissing and telling on Arthur costar Jennifer Garner, to NextMovie.com

I can't wait to see this movie. I became a Jen Garner fan recently and I've seen quite a few of her movies. I'd love to see this although, I am not a fan of Russel Brand. I'd have to be remedied. :) We'll have to get memory routers to replace his image in my mind.

Sibling Torture

As he is sitting howling in his room, I think about the torture my two brothers put me through. I remember how I learnt that pinching is far more effective than trying to punch a bigger boy who is tickling you to death while smothering you in a bean bag. I also learnt to be a master of the “dummy punch” - I would pretend to throw a punch but actually kick my poor brother in the privates. It certainly stopped him torturing me.

A girlfriend told me her sister used to give her “Chinese burns” at the top of the staircase because there was no way out but falling down the stairs. Another friend told me he once pushed his sister through a window and broke her leg.

These aren’t people who hate their siblings. In fact, they are ones with extremely close loving relationships - well now anyway. Clearly torturing your siblings is just part of growing up.

Like all younger siblings poor Amelie is going to have to learn how to fight back on her own when she is capable.

But what about you? What’s the worst thing you did to a younger sibling? What did your siblings do to you? What have your children done to each other?


I read this article in news.com.au about sibling torture. I can't really vividly remember about me and my siblings because I can say that I grew up outside my family. I'm the second child and I reached out outside my family early on. But I have a very happy childhood with my siblings. Anyway, I was thinking that the Tatapilla, for now anyway, will not be able to experience being the big brother. Hopefully, when we're with his cousins, it's possible. I saw my nephews and niece treat each other and it was pure chaos. If I could color print those memories or bottle them up, I would. I miss my family now.
