The Bounty Hunter

Since I've become a Jen Aniston fan, I check her profile every once in a while in People.com. I also check out some of her videos - it's a shame I can only find 1 decent video of her and Bradd - I like them together.

The Bounty Hunter is Jen's latest movie release with Gerard Buttler.


I first saw Buttler in P.S. I love you. I like him there.. real Scot or Irish? I have to learn more about him as well as learn more about weight loss pills. They're not just for those who want to shed unwanted pounds, you know. It's for everyone's awareness, I reckon.

Baker's Delight

Simon Baker, the boy from Tassie who grew up in a country town just south of Byron Bay, has come a long way since he won the Most Popular New Talent Logie for his work on E Street in 1993. The star of the hit show The Mentalist and films such as The Devil Wears Prada - and winner of TV Guide’s Sexiest Man Alive award - opens up to GQ about feeling like an impostor despite the decade of dues-paying hard slog he put in before ascending to the upper echelons of the entertainment industry. It’s a very un-American humility that’s Baker’s retained despite having been based in Hollywood for the last decade and a half. “We’re Australian,” he notes. “It’s not like we go: ‘You’re awesome!’ Aussies go: ‘You’ve done alright, but don’t get a big head.’”

Simon also shares his thoughts on everything from the importance of courtesy (“Don’t ever ignore people. If someone smiles at you, smile back”) to settling your nerves before a big speech (“Drink vodka instead of beer. Beer makes you fart”).

I saw him first in The Devel Wears Prada - I instantly like him there. Lax or lazy but sexy role. Then The Mentalist came and oh boy, was I hooked to it. I missed that only if I don't have a choice. I watch reruns. And I don't even like watching so much tv (unless it's a travel show featuring nice places and hotels - could be Toronto hotels). Travelling in your lazy boy - that's another story.

Jen Fan

I just became a Jennifer Aniston fan - it all started when Bradd left her. I haven't really followed their love story but from what I heard from my ex-coworker before, they were really good.

They look together. It's really a shame they split up.


I just wish Jen will find her true love.

Approved

My vacation leave of 4 days for Christmas was approved. Yay!

The accommodation was booked early this year even before my 3 weeks holiday to the Philippines. We left-out the flight bookings as I was not sure that I would be approved of another leave.

I’ve been planning to ask my boss at the start of this month but I was always hesitant. Fortunately, when I ask him tentatively, he said that our Christmas Holiday calendar is looking good that I can take 4 days off.

Next is booking the flights. My tax refund was deposited to my account yesterday. It will pretty much cover our flights and a few more extra for our local transport.

Awkward Moment

You and a male colleague went out of the toilet at the same time. Not the same toilets of course. The doors of the ladies and gents toilets are facing each other. You two are not really close. What would you do?

I smiled and walked hurriedly. Good thing I was set to buy lunch. He, on the other hand, walked slowly and went back to the office.

Awkward, awkward, awkward.

Blog ng Pinoy

I've been trying to join to BNP for 10 minutes. Hope posting this works. :) I was actually trying to put the banner on the side but it didn't work.

Anyway, I'm already there.

Official First Drive to Work

To the train station that is.

I had the full reign of the steering wheel today. No Mcj beside me. Just Jens and I. It’s the first for me.
I was excited at the same time apprehensive about my first time to drive by myself. I am apprehensive that I don’t know how to turn the lights on at night. I was worried that I might be late for my train; that I will have difficulty looking for a parking space and will also have trouble parking.

Mcj is very supportive. He planned last night to follow me and drive up to the station first to save a parking space for me while I drop Jens to “school”. Dropping Jens was easy – he didn’t make a fuss at all. When I was turning up to the station, I can’t find Mcj while looking ahead. I turned right and there he was; parked and he left two parking spaces for me from the other car. I then parked next to the other car and signed a thumbs-up to him to check if I did it right. You see, I have problem parking at the shops. But silly me, I didn’t remember the countless practice I had with my instructor on how to park in between two cars. I did it this time.

We left the house early expecting troubles when I drop Jens and then when looking for parking. Fortunately none of those happened. Everything was smooth. I caught the early train so I can head home early and might be able to use some sun power when I pick-up Jens at school.

I am a Fan of the Fans

I am now a confirmed fan of Sarah Geronimo. I check sarahgeronimo.com – the official fansite of Popsters (I gather they are the official fans club of SG) almost everyday.

Every time I read latest news about her in the forum, I can’t stop to be amazed at how eager the fans are, how excited they are, how enthusiastic they are on spending their hard-earned or saved money to buy SG’s albums. They want their “idol” to be number on anything that she or her album or movie is nominated – they would go extra lengths to vote.

Their enthusiasm is very contagious, I’m catching it.

Sometimes, I reckon I’m being silly for spending my time and energy on being a fan but I am happy doing it.
