Watch the movie AUSTRALIA, I highly recommend it!



I watched the movie Australia a while ago with my friends. Overall, I find the movie nice. Not that outstanding because of the ugly computer graphics every now and then. I kind of know how those parts work so don’t tell me I shouldn’t tell you about that hahah.

Hugh Jackman was surprisingly tamed in this role as a local. Well, not that tamed actually but it’s a far cry from being Wolverine if you know what I mean. Nicole Kidman on the other hand is beautiful as ever. I kinda fancy the part where she was looking majestically at the hopping kangaroos… until the aborigine shot it hahahah!

It was an epic romantic adventure. Nicole inherited land Hugh Jackman was a local DRAHVER which is some sort of a driver thingy there, where the conflict was some characters were trying to take her land by making it look like it’s already bankrupt. All they needed to do was to transport a couple a hundred bulls/cows in order to earn more than what they could ask for. Nicole asked Hugh to get them cows to Darwin so the military could purchase it and for her to recover from all her losses and earn from it too. She embarked on an impossible journey on the Australian outback and survived it all. Some died along the way, and this miraculous boy who would eventually be the story line even stopped a herd of cows from falling off a cliff with magic heheh… would you believe that huh?!

When they got to Darwin and sold the cows, everyone was happy except David Wenham’s character Neil Fletcher who understandably was the antagonist company’s boy. Lady Sarah Ashley won the contract and Fletcher got what he deserves in the end. The kid played by Brandon Walters as Nullah in the movie was the CREAM boy (some sort of mixed race between a Caucasian and a Native Aborigine of Australia) but in the end they later learned that the boy’s father all along was Fletcher. He almost killed him btw.

World War 2 struck that place and got everything bombed. The Japanese almost killed Nullah and Lady Ashley. They reunited in the end and almost got killed by Fletcher, good thing Fletcher’s Grandfather King George (a native aborigine) got there in time and shot a spear through Fletcher. He died after that and everybody else was happy. So they got their land, Nullah went with his Grandfather and Hugh and Lady Ashley ended up together. I enjoyed the movie a lot and recommend you watch it even if there were not that much people in the theater. I give it 4 KUMAGS!

Geri Halliwell Engaged!

Photobucket


Geri Halliwell with Groom to be Fabrizio Politi and daughter Bluebell Madonna


Good-looking, bad-tasting
Full-bodied, butt-wasting
Loose-living, tight-fitting
What you see ain't what you are getting
Big make-up, little break-up
She wants it, he's got it
Cold-blooded, hot gossip
Superficial expectations

Look at me
You can take it all because this face is free
Maybe next time use your eyes and look at me

And the song goes on for Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell as she gets engaged with Italian yacht tycoon boyfriend, Fabrizio Politi (ANYAMAN!) hehehe... She was given as a token of their commitment to each other an engagement ring over the festive season. Despite this fast and the furious relationship, Geri and Fabrizio had no plans yet of going down the isle. Neither one of their parties wanted to do so. But they are engaged still. What a setup! haha

There are no immediate plans for marriage as the couple are enjoying their engagement and they are usually going out together with Geri's daughter Bluebell Madonna in Paris or the Maldives Islands. Ginger Spice and Politi met at a Florence nightclub in December 2008 and have been inseprable eversince. Incredible!

Star Trek Maker To Spend Eternity In Space

Tuesday, January 27, 2009



Gene Roddenberry the creator of "Star Trek Series" died in 1991. His wife Majel Barrett Roddenberry hired Celestis Inc., a company that specializes in "memorial spaceflights" to launch a part of his remains into space in 1997. Majel Barrett Roddenberry died just last Dec. 18, 2008. Celestis Inc. will be launching their spacecraft carrying capsules and digitized tributes from all their fans in 2010. It will not be returning to Earth and will just fall deeper into space. Their bodies will be creamated then put into capsules and will not return to earth.

Memorial Spaceflights like these are fitting tributes for explorers, pioneers, entrepreneurs, aerospace professionals, and all who have an interest in space exploration, science fiction, or astronomy or who simply feel at home in the cosmos. I on the other hand would not like to be shipped to space like this because I'd rather stay here instead so that my family would be able to visit me anytime. ^_^

Would you like to have the same experience too?

I Thought I Was Safe at Home

When I was a kid, I usually play a lot outdoors and usually go home dinner time if and only if my Mom calls me. I was not much of a spoiled boy but I had more fun outside than staying at home all day. It could be biking, catching spiders, running around the side streets or playing marbles that gets me in trouble because when I get home my Mom’s there grounding me for whatever reasons. It was such a norm so I got used to it.

I never knew why she was too worried about me when I was too good to be true for a son. Mind you there were not that many troubles I went through when I was in that age. Later that year, at the turn of spring I decided to stay at home and be good for once so my Mom wouldn’t be that upset since that was Mother’s day. Instead of going out, I flooded myself with household activities and toys that were just keeping dust because they weren’t used that much. I was too small then, I thought I was safe at home.

In that one day that I stayed at home, I got a little thirsty. When I went down stairs to drink a glass of water, I tripped and fell down the first plight of stairs then I rolled over and grimaced in oblivion while I faced another set of steps. When I stopped I totaled about 16 of them and rolled about 8 times. I was surprised because I was miraculously fine. Mom and Dad were so worried they rushed me to the hospital but even Doctors say I was fine. No scratches or bruises. One of the reasons why I got into this mess was because the railings were too high for me to reach. I was too small I guess and too clumsy at that. That became a priority for them to fix I guess so one morning, I found people working on the stairs and putting up new handrails which even the smallest kid could use. I was barred from going up and down unattended, but I feel safer now. Twenty something years later I never got into a single mishap in that part of the house.



Today it’s even easier to get architectural rails because you can get them online. BuyRailings.com offers parts for railing projects, metal components and other tools to keep your home safe and your children from accidents like these. What happened to me was an accident and I wouldn’t want to see anyone enduring the same fate I got into while I was at home. Not only is this going to make all of the parts of your house look good; it will also make your house better than when you found it. So if you are looking for people who can provide you Handrails, Stair Rails, Guard Rails, Bar & Foot Rails, Kitchen Rails, Curtain Rods and everything else, get them from http://www.buyrailings.com today. You know you need it!

OPRAH for Senator of Illinois


He said he knew Oprah wouldn't accept it!

It's quite surprising that this came in the news today. I just watched the Oprah show and the "valentine" episode (obviously a re run of some other year) and was kinda smiling about some of the surprises she's been giving the guests, one of which was an appearance by Patty La Belle and giving away a Red Volkswagen Beetle... it was cute but what puzzled me was this statement by the ill fated Gov. Rod Blagojevich that she ought to be the Senator of Illinois.... yeah you heard it, she could have been Senator Oprah Winfrey. ^_^

She helped a lot in the recent election obviously because she campaigned for the one and only US President Obama... well I bet yah she could not have accepted the senate seat... that's just too low profile hahaha... She could run for President for crying out loud... that's just too obvious... but really, politics is just going to tarnish her career and name. One of which she's probably taking care of in the years she's been in the business.

No Nightmare Easy Backups!


Network Storage Devices nowadays cost more that previous years. Things like backing up files relatively became too complicated for an ordinary home user. It goes to choosing the right drive to attach, to schedule the particular task and not to mention the arduous task of how to keep it automatic because no one wants to do it manually these days.

I got a fright a few months ago when I had some problems with my own because my PC suddenly went haywire on me. Memory was having a hard time coping up with the programs I had open on my computer. I was thinking it was really that but then again, my anti virus program was detecting some processes running which literally put it into snails pace. The bad thing was I only got part of my system backed up because the program I had for it was not doing what it’s supposed to. I got into the nightmare of forcibly formatting my hard drive and OS which took me so much of my time I haven't even had time to sleep. Imagine the time I wasted just for that!




I am willing to change for the better so I'd try out this software package from EZBACKUP Software where you can Download Free Trial versions of it. Maybe after trying that out, I'll grab the opportunity to have that since it will be discounted 51% from its original price on February 9th. OMG it's have the price!

The EzBackup promotion is surely going to take care of me so I won't get these nightmares anymore. Aren't you glad I told you about this?

Amazing Race Season 14



I don't really know what season it is in the US but according to the article I read this is the 13th one. Although its weird because the article describe the contestants which have the photos all over the site linked to CBS. So probably the people who won it are the ones in the last episode indicated on it. Is it the 13th or 14th one that we have to watch on February? hmmm that's probably a different one I suppose right? because if they did that then nobody would probably watch the show anymore heheh.

Hmm... yeah...ok I saw it i saw it... ^_^ Look at this and I quote "11 two-person teams racing for the $1 million prize in the upcoming 14th season" so its probably the 14th one we're seeing come February. I am a follower of this one obviously, together with the asian Amazing Race too. At least we had Rovilson and Mark entertaining people hehehh... and they are rich already I think??? But what I mostly love about what they were doing was the tandem itself... the talks in between were hilarious... and of course girls go gaga with them too. I just was glad Tisha and Geoff were in Season 3, but didn't like the fights between them obviously.

I on the other hand would like to join some day... but not now coz I have tons of reports to finish hahahahah!

A Slice of Bread

Monday, January 26, 2009

The morning shines when I get out of work and the first few things that make me happy after work is breakfast. Coffee, bagel, pancakes and toast were a staple for this cute marshmallow man type of guy. I really need some comfort food every now and then to get me through the day even when I’m on a diet. I’ve been eating lots of bread for a while now; I’ve cut down on rice so I’m trying my best to stick with it.



With the bland taste of bread I was wondering what I could eat when I’m already getting bored with the same white rye from the same old bakeshop. I grabbed some of them and made pizza out of our toaster oven. That’s one thing I did right, the viands kept me happy because I could put almost anything on it once it’s toasted. About the toaster we have at home, its actually getting a little bit old. I kind of miss the first one I used when I was a kid that looks like the ones in American movies where you get to press and pop the oven when it’s done. We didn’t have that anymore so we kind of were stuck at what’s available in the market. I tried to look at some of them in the mall appliance center, oh boy were they getting expensive.

There were different types of oven toasters already, of which some had various features which I don’t really need. It’s time I try to check out some sites like http://www.toasterovensguide.com so I narrow down my choices. There were a lot of them that had convection and microwave toaster ovens with them. I like the classic 50’s looking ones that can make them simple. I think I’ll be buying that soon. I like spreading butter on them; I get to have my cup of tea too. How about you?!

Katie Stam of Indiana crowned as Miss America

Here's news for the pageant freaks and those who love women in swimsuits LOLZ! Katie Stam of Indiana was just crowned as Miss America 2009. What's even amazing was she won this contest while sick of Laryngitis and a throat infection...sheesh!




Of course, how can I forget the part that you would want to watch aka the swimsuits hahahah.



I see that Katie Stam is the first Ms. Indiana to be hailed as Ms. America. The hoosier state has not produced any since the beginning of the pageant. They did place some but never won it. I guess the xfactor came out of this competition because if you check out how she made moves on stage and walked, she was just enjoying herself. The poses were very relaxed and very modelish rather than pageanty. She's also a 22-year-old University of Indianapolis student so most probably they'll have all their squads available once she gets back. Is it just me or are their Ms USA's getting a little matured looking? (O_o)"
