Movie: Valentine's Day

*watched on 18Feb2010*

Alright, I don't celebrate Valentine's Day.
Not because I'm single at the moment but even when I was in my past relationship, I didn't really bother to celebrate.
But I love flowers, chocolates, cards, dinner at nice restaurants, well you know...
And prices hike like crazy on this day.
And I don't find the story of Valentine where he committed suicide because of love, well, romantic.
I'm just amazed of what people would do for love.

Anyway, though I don't celebrate V-Day, doesn't mean I can't celebrate the love for the movie.
I honestly thought it's gonna be a sappy movie.
I actually prepared myself a few packets of tissues in my outer pocket of my handbag for easier reach.
It's not really a fantastic movie, but it's nice enough that I want to watch it for the second time.
Maybe by the third time I would be able to memorize the whole script already.
Scriptwise, it's very simple and real. Not corny or cocky.

The actors and actresses, well, too many of them, you know.
All great actors. Brilliant actors, I would say.
Jennifer Garner is hot. Anne Hathaway is gorgeous.
Patrick Demspey@McDreamy is as sexy as usual. Eric Dane@McSteamy shows off his six-packs as usual, too.
I love the big smiles from both Roberts. Guess it's in their good genes.
Ashton Kutcher & Bradley Cooper are cute as always.
And Queen Latifah is hilarious! OMG I loved her in the movie!

Few things I don't like.
Jessica Alba's blonde hair. Oh please, blonde is so not for her. She looks like she's wearing wig! You're a natural beauty darling, stick to your roots!
I'm also shocked that Taylor Lautner didn't take his shirts off for once in the movie.
He actually had a line, "I don't feel comfortable taking my shirt off in public." =P
And McDreamy had only, like, 10 lines altogether.

Well, basically, I knew Ash would end up with Jen Garner in the end.
I knew Emma Roberts won't do it with her BF.
I knew Jess Biel would fall for Jamie Foxx.
I knew both TaylorS were going to be together until the end (in the movie of course).
And the same goes to Topher Grace & Anne, together at the end.

*sorry can't remember their roles*

My biggest surprise was definitely between McSteamy& Bradley!
I swear I laughed like nobody cares when Bradley runs his hand through McSteamy's hair!
It was weird and I had this icky feeling in my stocmach and I just had to laugh.
But it was definitely hilarious! My favourite part of the movie!
And I really didn't think that little cutie Edison actually fell for Jen Garner. How cute!
Oh, I didn't expect Julia Roberts to be Edison's mommy at all, either.

In the end, I would say it was a great movie.
I enjoyed it very much.
Not too cliche, accompanied with elements of surprise.
You know, watching gorgeous human beings on screen is NOT a bad terrible thing at all.

Noooo....!!!

I like your scrunchy hair better Jared!

Just few days ago I mentioned how I love his hair here,
and now it has turned into this!

*shaved by photographer Terry Richardson*

I know his hair is still messy but it's a bad-messy, not sexy-messy.
Why would he mohawk it???!
I can only take mohawk on Becks.
Seriously.
Other than him I just don't get it.

When I'm Feeling Down...

Hot guys make my day!
hahaha...
OMG I sound like a pervert.
Well, nothing's wrong with loving God's creation, eh?
*alasan semata-mata*
But really, a row of hotties isn't what we can get to look at all the time.

From left to right:
Lee Pace @ Ned the Pie Maker in 'Pushing Daisies' series. I love the series mainly because Anna Friel @ Chuck is absolutely gorgeous and her skin is oh-so-porcelain & the fact that Kristin Chenoweth's @ Olive's voice is quite annoying but addictive to hear.

Next, is '30 Seconds to Mars' lead singer, Jared Leto whom I fondly remember as a cast from the movie 'Urban Legend'. Love the shades but hate your boots, man. And oh, love that scrunchy hair, too =)

Up next is the yummy-licious Chace Crawford @ Nathaniel van der Bilt Archibald or Nate from 'Gossip Girl' series. Duh! He always looks hot. Enough said ladies.

Then there's Ryan Phillippe. Seriously haven't heard about him since his divorce from Reese Witherspoon. I think I first watch him on TV in 'Cruel Intentions'. And I think I was still underaged when I watched the 18SX movie. haha..must had sneaked into my bro's room for the CD.

Kellan Lutz. Hurm, where should I start. Not a fan, never a fan. But he's not bad looking either. He's famous from the 'Twilight', one of the Cullen vampires & some guy from '90210' series.
And speaking of '90210', is there anyone who can help me big time looking for the real 'Beverly Hills 90210' series? I miss Brandon. And Luke Perry's husky voice.

Last but not least, there's Mehcad Brooks who played Matthew Applewhite on 'Desperate Housewives'. Anyone still watching the show?

They were all attending Calvin Klein show at Bryant Park.

I think they themselves can become the runway models and steal the stage show.
I heard it's still freezing over there so they will definitely bring some heat to the audience.

Posh Beckham & Her Kasut Tumit Tinggi

"I can't concentrate in flat shoes"
-High heels addict, Victoria "Posh" Beckham.

Neither do I Mrs. Beckham.
That's why I only wear my flats to my 3hours-3days-straight-a-week M.Ed classes.
Hahaha
Kidding. Just kidding.

Alexander McQueen: A Dedication

Well, on this gloomy day, upon the tragic death of Alexander McQueen,

I decided to dedicate a post on what he and I have (had) loved.
Shoes.

I once wrote here about my love for shoes.
How I practically make 5-inches stilettos practical to wear.

I started out wearing heels because I'm shorter than my youngest sister (duh!) and I actually read somewhere that wearing heels make you look slimmer.
And being a sucker for what the media writes, I succumbed into wearing heels since I-don't-remember-when. I know it may harm my body so I always TRY not to wear them for too long.

Here are some pictures of my current shoes that I purchased.

*this is Casablanca i've chosen for The e-Beautique*

It's super duper comfy!
And the peep-toe adds to another thumb ups because it provides ventilation.
*oh yes. living in this country I truly need that*
It's gorgeous. It looks exclusive. It gives you both the height and hype!
*sold out apparently from my blogshop! sorry darls!*

These two babies were pre-ordered from Le Clothes.
I only waited for like two weeks and yes that was very fast!
I totally in love with them!

*aren't you in love with the plum pair already?*
And little munckin Aish just needed to try on because he was so curious on how this aunty of his could wear such shoes!
When I wore the plum pair his mouth went opened and he was like, "Macam mana Aunty Lah nak jalan ni, tinggi nyeeee!"
He's adorable ok!
Look at those chubby feet & toenails! I rasa macam nak gigit-gigit je! Haha!

And the quality of the shoes?
Although it's pre-ordered (some people complained about the quality before, they said the real thing doesn't look the same as in pics), I must say these babies are worth my every penny spent! And worth every second waiting for them to arrive!
Yes, I will buy again from the blogshop!
Two thumbs up!
=)

I'll write more on shoes later!
A girl can never have too many shoes!

R.I.P. Lee Alexander McQueen

It felt surreal.

I woke up, as usual, turned on my lappie and straight to Perez Hilton.
And I came upon a tragic news on Coco Perez.

"Alexander McQueen Commits Suicide"
*or committed I would say*

He didn't survive. He hanged himself in his flat.
It is said that he's devastated over his mother's death which was a week ago.
He was indeed very close to his mother.

*with his mother in 2001*

Must be a total pain for him.

It is a HUGE loss to the fashion industry.
