Beautiful without even trying

Angelina Jolie is probably the most overrated actress in Hollywood. She recently topped Reuters’ celebrity do-gooder poll for both her work in U.N. .She also is Maxim's most beautiful person. Time's 2007 top magazine cover. Included in the list of Smartest People in Hollywood. Top earners of this year in the Actress category. Winner and nominated for her acting prowess. Too good to be true?
But you see, People aren’t stupid, They can really sense when it’s just an endorsement and when somebody really means it. Someone like Angelina Jolie comes across as having more integrity than some celebrities and a greater sense that she doesn’t just do things for publicity.

How i spend my Christmas eve

'Twas kinda weird because it rained this afternoon, And in my twenty plus years of existence i don't remember raining on a Christmas day?? There goes the Al Gore-ish phenomenon. This time i wont dwell on Global warming, I want to focus on this season which is really not a good day for me. I feel bad that i didn't get any talent fee since October. So imagine, I'm spending my savings and not getting anything from all the work I've done for the last 3 months . I wasn't able to buy gifts because of work as of Dec 23 and yet i feel so poor. You know what else i did? I did not join my family for dinner. I was just inside my room playing different versions of "Have yourself a merry little Christmas". Thats how pathetic I am? After midnight, They all went to see me and gave their presents for me. Now everyone's asleep and i realize i get hypersensitive about unnecessary things, And i also get to figure out after a while that I'm being such an ass. I'm sorry :(

Whats in the name
The other night ,i was caught up on a traffic going to Qc. I saw a big neon sign that says JESUS, My Lord and Savior. Unknowingly, I was reciting the phrase to myself, the mere letters of His name was comforting. And even at that moment Jesus channeled peace into my life.

Reasons to be JOLIE
Yes you read it right, theres so much reason to be Jolie this season. Cause Angelina is nominated for her performance in this year's critically acclaimed movie A Mighty Heart, I wasn't able to see the movie but i've seen it in trailers and pretty much confident about her acting.

Working Holiday
I'm currently booked for a project that will air abroad. Its for a Vietnamese telephone company. since they are non Christian, i have a feeling that i will be spending the eve of Christmas working...I hope not.

Ang Gara ng pasko
Hindi ko alam kung ano nakain ni gara at dinaanan nyaako sa office at inayang kumain. Sabi nya ako na daw ang bhala mamili ng resto. Pinili ko sa Sango the Burger Master kasi gusto ko light lang. Umorder ako ng Fish Burger with cheese, Green tea milk shake, fries, Garden Salad at extra tartar sauce. binayaran nya lahat. Himala ano? Yan ang nagagawa ng pasko.

a SHORT embarassing moment

My nephew was sick and wanted to sleep in my room. He was vomiting so i was watchful of him the whole night. He would wake up and ask for Gatorade or have his sukahan washed before he makes suka. Just this morning, around 6am he was craving for bananas. For some reason i couldn't find anyone to get him his request. So i immediately get money from my bag and went outside.

I was fast walking and didn't realize i was near bustillos just for a couple of minutes. Then, a familiar face kept her eyes on me. Her stare was sharp as if she knew me for a long time.. To my surprise it was a familiar face after all!
It was Ms Valencia - my grade school adviser. In fact one of my favorite teacher in my whole school life. She asked me if i was okay now, cause the last time she heard of me i was sick and had a kidney transplant. I just nodded and was really surprised to see her after all these years.. What a nostalgic morning ... flashbacks from my grade school played back in the left hemisphere of my brain. Until i realize i was wearing SHORTS [My PE shorts in Highschool ].

I couldn't run back to my house cause i was already halfway..almost instantly, I was helpless , feeling almost naked, wrecked,and stranded in my Humiliation . What would my former adviser think of me now? Embarrassing i know! This could be one of my most humiliating year ender that would be a part of any autograph book i will sign. Its something that will cause my early death. huhuh!

Fly swatter

I'm currently hooked in swatting flies...the faster the better! But don't worry I'm not as gross as what your are thinking, its one of my best time killers. I'm hoping they would create other insect versions like cockroach and mosquitoes complete with the bloody effect when hit by the hand. That would be really cool.

I was wondering why parents were called parents..instinctively i answered before doing a research.
Parents because they PAY the RENTS, or they pay the bills , or they provide. Which is very brilliant.

Dessert comes first
I had a late breakfast of veal sausage slices,mushrooms,mozzarella and tomatoes inside a folded thin pancake-like bread. [yes thats a crepe i just wanted it to make it long] and a tall glass of espresso with milk.[yes thats an iced coffee]. While my ultimate crush had a Hawaiian crepe, and looks really hot in an orange shirt with the usual signature look - "the world was a mess but the hair was perfect". [ its sort of disturbing but thats how i could describe it in the ends of the earth]

Chefting for my family
Thats my term to the way i cook! I think cooking is my hd at the moment because my nephew watches Ratatouille everyday. Most importantly, I'm glad that my niece loved it considering she has a poor appetite. Anyway
The dish is called buttered flaked fish.

Kids just don't like fish the way we love chicken. So my goal is to make the fish taste like chicken.
Heres my simple recipe.

Mackerel Fish [ precooked, not the sardines but the one that comes from the market]
butter
olive oil
onions chopped
garlic chopped
ginger chopped
carrots chopped
calamansi juice
pepper
4 eggs
crumbs

What i did was to make someone flake the fish, im not sure if she has clean hands..so lets move on. Next, have everything chopped except the oils of course and the butter and calamansi. Pour the juice into the flaked fish. Saute ginger, garlic and onions in olive oil and butter. Add the carrots then the fish. then add another cube of butter when you feel its dry. Since the fish is precooked, you don't really have to wait for a long time. Add pepper,crumbs..just alternate butter or olive oil to make sure its not too dry. then pour the eggs which i forgot to beat. so i just mix it all up. then before turning off the fire, i added a few drops of Worcestershire.

I used only a hint of ginger cause i think kids dont like its salabat-tinola cross after taste. Another thing, I did not use salt or anything for its substitute because mom said the fish was precooked and already timplado, and If you will analyze closely, the dish is not really an omelet. I was only trying to hide the fishy taste using the crumbs, butter,calamansi juice and eggs which i guess, was gourmet-y and worked well with the kids [and mommy and daddy too] at the same time.

thats it funsit!

Are you the one they call beowulf? - [grendel's mothers mode]

Finally, my movie dry spell is over. last Thursday, I've seen Beowulf. and oh boy it was much better than what I've expected. I confess to enjoy this movie in all aspects. First, its the Angelina partiality..so i don't have to elaborate that her 3d version was the best part of the movie, uhmm next to her voice and accent inspite of her role being a shedevil....[i hate that shes like that but shes not in real life so i was able to reconcile things and gave her the chance to act and show what she got ]. But i have to also add that some of the characters looked like they where from Shrek.. another thing is, i feel that some of the characters were reused because they lacked time on rendering new ones because they were too nitty gritty on Angelina. Second. I like how the free flying camera creates views from within spaces that would be very tough for a real camera to travel through. Third i like that the story of course is an epic tale and Gaiman and Avery [of course thats "the Neil Gaiman" ,and Roger Avery if you need an intro is the co writer of pulp fiction which happens to be another one of my favorite] made sure that the movie is more than an action-fantasy film, but a story about battling trolls and dragons injected with an element of human conscience and regret. Lastly I have to stress that Beowulf is the best motion capture animated film to date. I gave this movie five rarrs!
w00t! w00t!

Ps. I also like the fact that i watched Angelina's movie with my crush..making this movie date the best so far.

Lonesomely Random

Its really been dark, cloudy and scary
its really been cold, freezy and fidgety
its really been wanpipty.

this is my artistic approach to loneliness

i call this Wanpipty cuz its inspired from my favorite graphic novel 300, but my version is half way panget of course. and Wan means you're my one and only..nothing can beat that. :).

Have you ever felt like not saying too much words and bein too sensitive in every occurred synapse up to your brain.
Pixelized in graphics is like very low res state of an image. You can hardly recognize the details. Unlike blurredness, pixelated images are somewhat jagged edged. But same thing, its seen indistinctly.
i know,theres totally no connection..i guess this is how i feel now. 'cuz my heart's just been pixelized.

Cleft chin mode

My Camera has this cleft chin mode feature, thats why it only got Anne and Angel's faces clear. nice noh?

O watch out for Lobo and Maging Sino kaman 2

[those other 2 who were not captured because they don't have cleft chin. thats dimple and Agot..i was looking for chinchin gutierez though.]

Turning right

Life is certainly one of the most vast idea one could ever dig in. Probably one of the most complex argument since People most often are divided depending on their views and culture. so id rather inquire into my own than scrutinize other lives. you see, I grew up in a Christian upbringing, one that is reformed type and not the traditional Catholic devoutness or Conservative foundations. But I'm not against any religion or sect of some sort. i was just trying to make an intro. Growing up in my family was easy. My folks were not as strict or authoritative like the ones you see in the teleserye's or the spoiler types. Their more of the providing types of parents. the fact is, I don't have an absolutely perfect family..or life. But i aint not shattered because of that.

Now that I'm an adult, I came across so many things which somehow widened my awareness to different angles in life. My experiences may not be that broad but i can say i know something now compared to my life a year ago. the fact is,I don't have an absolutely perfect life. I'm guilty of so many charges.. But I'm not shattered because of that..nor i am proud that i made so many mistakes. I just pray and listen to God.
I know in the end i will still choose to turn right.

Binary Obsessed

It seems that i found a new obsession.This fascination has gone loud and crazy because i do it early in the morning and before going to bed. In fact there are times when i do it in the office..i talk about it to anyone and be really delighted about the topic. And i have to admit that i'm a certified virus control freak. Jogs even asked if i have a Virus research center at home. What i like most is to remove it manually through the registry editor,i also disable the hidden files options and delete all the suspicions file extensions, then scan every drive and have it run on a safe mode. whohoo!

Computer Activities without being pornographic

It has been a productive weekend for me. First, i researched on how to download and save youtube videos on my computer. Second, i researched on how to remove the new folder.exe virus and Third, i made bubble icons for my dock. And i love the third activity because it made my computer look really pretty..

All you have to do is to use your existing icon[s], Then,create a bubble [or if you can download an existing image, then use it].
Using phohotshop, put the icon inside the bubble to create a bubbly illusion..whattever! then save as PNG or [portable network graphics] file format.
Check your dock setting properties and change the icon using your new bubble image.
Now you can enjoy a personalized dock.

[if your computer doesnt have a dock preference , then ignore this post.]

Smarty and richy

Angelina is not only beautiful..She also is no.35 on Entertainment Weekly’s “The 50 Smartest People in Hollywood” list, She also ranked no.2 on The Hollywood Reporter's Annual list of highest paid actresses,with a whooping 15-20 million per movie requirement. Thats Femme Power. Who else can beat that?

Alavet! [that's short for i love it]
