Wooohooo! This heartthrob is Kirby Atwood. Aside from being a photographer, he actually spends his days pursuing an older married woman, Nico Railey.


This is not in real life though.

He's definitely another reason you may want to watch Lipstick Jungle.

Honey Bunches of Oats

I'm not really a breakfast person but to start my day right, I grab a bowl of my favorite breakfast cereal with fresh milk.

Whole grain wheat + Rolled oats + Almonds + Honey

Honey Bunches of Oats is a healthy and delicious morning, afternoon or evening treat - with zero Trans Fat, zero Saturated Fats and zero Cholesterol. I like the original flavor because it's very crunchy, tastes really good, and it's not overly sweetened.

I buy a couple of this cereal pretty much every time I go shopping. I feel happier when I know I have it on my kitchen shelf. There was a time when we couldn't find one in our local supermarket. We had to search for it on the next town. Good thing we had Duty Free Shops in Clark as our last resort.

La Source Crabtree and Evelyn

I am a big fan of LaSource at Crabtree and Evelyn. We don't have an outlet in Pampanga and the nearest that I know of is at Edsa Shangri-la Mall. Thanks to online shopping!

The LaSource scent is described as a "relaxing sea air fragrance" and I totally agree. You must try their Relaxing Body Lotion which smells fresh and lovely!

Lipstick Jungle - TV Show

"Lipstick Jungle" was adapted from a novel written by Candace Bushnell. I couldn't say that the tv show is flawless. In fact, I didn't really like the first episode. But later on, I find the storyline realistic, exciting and funny.

The female characters showcase how real women act to tough situations as any real women should. They don't just flaunt their stylish wardrobe or sexuality instead they show their intelligence and genuine friendship.

Kim Raver plays as Nico Railey who is an editor in chief of a hot fashion magazine and torn between a boring husband and a hot young photographer. Brooke Shields is a successful studio chief who is working on that career and family life balance. Lindsay Price is a fashion designer named Victory Ford who is trying to regain her career while coping with her billionaire boyfriend.

Critics say it is an obvious clone of Sex and the City. That could be good or bad. What I know is that this desirable group is a good, late night entertainment. I prefer watching this than those predictable reality shows.

Changeling: Movie Review

"Never start a fight... but always finish it."

Starring:
Angelina Jolie - Christine Collins
John Malkovich - Rev Gustav A Brieglab
Michael Kelly - Detective Lester Ybarra

Directed by: Clint Eastwood

Changeling is about the mysterious disappearance of a boy, the courage of an average woman to challenge the corrupt police force and the capture of an insane serial child killer.

Angelina's performance was fantastic. Her unconditional love and quest to find her missing son is indeed remarkable. The injustice and abuse of political power is also ancient but it was well portrayed in this film that I had to close my eyes at some scenes. There were some gruesome events in the lives of abused women and innocent children.

It's interesting, engaging, and definitely an eye opener but I have to admit, I was truly sad after watching it. The movie was heartbreaking but what's more depressing is that it is based on a true story in the late 1920s.

We searched for the life of Caroline Collins to find out if she was reunited with her lost son years after. Sigh. Well, one thing is for sure: No matter what her troubles were, she always had the hope in her heart.

This is one of those movies where you don't get to smile while viewing the final credits.

Four out of Five stars for me.

The Lord lays His head

I'm reading the book, Dessert for the Angels. It's a compilation of stories and anecdotes guaranteed to rib-tickle your soul with its spiritual lessons. One short dialogue below kept resonating in my mind.

---

During a night of terrible temptation, a man prayed to the Lord.

"Please, Lord, help me," he whispered.

A voice from within replied, "Do not be afraid, I am already within you. In fact, my head is lying on your heart."

"But if your head does lie on my heart," the man questioned, "how come there is pain still?"

"You might have forgotten, son," the voice retorted, "I wear a crown of thorns on my head."

Who will be the new Wonder Woman?

This is one of common questions you'd hear from Superhero movie fanatics.

Lynda Carter's portrayal of Wonder Woman was a huge success so choosing the new star for this film could be harder than we thought.

The new Wonder Woman movie is slated for a 2011 release. Several actresses have been added to the list of the Hollywood stars eyed to play the heroine role. Check out these photos of those rumored to step into Lynda Carter's boots.

Catherine Zeta Jones

Kate Beckinsale

Angelina Jolie

Alana de la Garza


Katie Holmes


Beyonce

Megan Gale

Anne Hathaway

Jessica Biel

Sandra Bullock

Megan Fox

Nothing is final yet as reports said they want a younger actress suitable for the movie. I'm a big Wonder Woman fan. Whoever will be chosen, I hope she could give justice to the role.
