The People

I was in my previous project's closing party last night. I volunteered for the Program Committee (Not exactly a big surprise), and I think we did a pretty good job in keeping people entertained. I especially liked showing the prizes we had for the guys... the latest issue of FHM magazine and a box of tissues. Naughty, naughty, naughty. Haha! Anyway, I felt real nostalgic when they were showing the first video presentation with pictures of the project pioneers. Must be the music. :-D Hehe! The games were especially fun. Reminiscing galore of people who had come and gone. So many names elicited the "I can't believe I forgot about her/him!" reactions. But the biggest, most riotous reaction was when we showed the "Feeling F4" video we made about 2-3 years ago. I think I almost peed in my pants.

As I've said a couple of times already, it's not really the deliverables we created, the projects we delivered that will matter most. It's the relationships with people. It felt nice to see all of them again. My teammates I see pretty often. But I miss them still somehow.

Sometimes, it seems like a different world, when I think back about my 6750, 8th floor days. That project was in a different dimension all together. Davis's opening prayer was a good one. Kinda sums up what all those years were all about. Good times, bad times. But the people. Seeing them kinda brings you back to those days. You had bad times, but your seatmate, teammate, or even the manong guards made things more bearable.

Here's Davis's prayer:

Heavenly Father, for the past several years, Dow has become our home. Sometimes, we even feel like more of a Dow employee than Accenture. This is because we loved the people we worked with, where we worked at, the kind of work we were doing, and level of professionalism this project has taught us.

Father, we thank you for the Dow experience that has nurtured us into professionals. Into example employees of Accenture. We thank you for the people we have met through the years. For the deliverables we have finished with a sense of pride. Because we know, this will become a legacy. And our work will live on despite our abscence or the closure of this project here in manila. Thank you father for without this experience with Dow, we are no where near what we have become right now... as an employee... And as a "Person".

We ask you Lord to protect those going on-shore to continue the task we have started. May they be safe and happy. We also ask you Lord to provide more opportunities for the people who has been moved to other projects.

And may you bless the people who lead this project into a success. May we all shine from the rest of our peers... for we know we have learned from the best. We would be honored if we can accomplish even half of what we have accomplished here in Dow.

As for this evening, thank you Father for letting us enjoy the presence of our friends. This time in this party, we no longer need to point fingers or even worry about the support phones. FOR THIS WE THANK YOU!! And may God bless us all.

Amen.


I might be moving to Cybergate in a week. And I'm a little sad. Hehe! I know it's a project deployment and everything (OoOOhhh... Kinda exciting). But I will miss MTS. This is a three-month vacation from the real project work. I enjoy being here and meeting so many new people! In a span of 3 months, I met almost 70 new people. But am pretty lousy with some of their names. Hehe.

Anyways, tis a Friday and the Man of Steel will have my full attention later at 10. My weekend's pretty full! Gaaaarsh!! Since I lost my PDA (Demn you anonymous thief!)... this might as well serve as my calendar of things to do...

Saturday:
Visit K, Take diagnostic Test, Make deposit
Buy gift for baptism this Sunday
Pay for Globe Bill
Have MotoRazr phone repaired
Deposit savings in BPI account
Hear anticipated Mass
Try to look for PDAs (not so expensive ones)

Sunday:
Attend Baptism

Crap! It's almost 7!

Circumventing the Firewall

We finally found away to circumvent the very elusive Firewall! Argh! However, the drawback is I can't upload photos. The icon is missing... poo... oh well! You can't have everything.

I honestly don't know where the day went. All morning, I think I was just trying to find my work mojo. I had a ton of emails I need to categorize and reply to. I think there were also a couple of action items I needed to do, too. *Sigh* Still got the training hang-up.

What I was able to accomplish however, were mostly events related. Like meeting the program organizers of the Dow Graduation Party, scheduled this Thursday. Of course, I digress. I tend to digress. Most, if not all of the time. I hope the turn out of this event is ok. And I hope the folks have fun. Cel and Giff will be hosting (so very Dow Christmas Party 2004!). Another event I spent some time organizing today... the MTS 3rd All Hands meeting. We're hoping to bring great energy to the event. I hope that turns out well!

It seems the next coming weeks will bring a lot of changes to my daily weekday schedule. I need to visit K sometime this week to make the downpayment... and I have all weekend to psyche myself up for finally getting on the road to 2007 decision. I've been delaying it unconsciously for the last couple of months. Time of face the music. I'm pretty nervous. I don't know if I'll be good enough or ready. But time will tell. The results will tell. Fate will tell. Not to say that I will leave everything in fate's uncertain hands. I DO want to embark on this path. I DO.

Maybe I've lost my work mojo also because of what I've been reading about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. I need to get on the Provera program back again! I didn't know PCOS could bring greater health risks. I saw the big "C" in one of the sites I visited, and I kinda got scared. Demn! I'm also confused about it. PCOS, they say, causes weight gain and obesity. But then, weight gain can also cause PCOS. I dunno. I'm confused. Perhaps I just didn't read it right. So more reason to stay on the Herbalife diet.

But eating and sampling culinary treats are just heavenly. Argh... Everything in moderation I guess.

Pops has not arrived yet. So more blogging?? I've been thinking of coming up with movie listings... In lieu of "Take the Lead", perhaps I can come up with a movies with dancing I really like.

Weekend Extravaganza

It wasn't exactly partying with the stars or going somewhere exotic... but overall, I think it was pretty good!

Friday, I'm Taking the Lead

Featured film of the week is Antonio Banderas' "Take the Lead". The short of it, "Dangerous Minds" meets "Center Stage". There were a lot of preachy lines in the movie (uttered by Antonio himself). Dancing was good. Too impressive for a bunch of kids who just learned how to ballroom dance. Some of them were too good to be believable rookies. I was pretty amazed that Dante Basco is the same dude in "Hook"! Rufio! Rufio! Pretty darn cool!

I saw this movie with Keysi after we had a fantabuloso dinner at Fish and Co. Happy Birthday girlfriend! Ehhhhhhkasi! :-D

Friday was pretty good to me. My training finished early so I had some time to check my mail, have a 30 minute foot massage... Sarap. It ended nice too! Hanging out at 502, listening to Jem's CD. Best part... going home with Kuya Jerry behind the wheel. It sure does feel good to be the passenger!

Saturday's A Moment to Remember

Demn these Korean movies! Because of Pesem's urging and the simple fact that I wanted to maximize my 8 in 1 Korean Movies DVD, I finally mustered the interest to watch "A Moment to Remember". And I must say. I haven't seen "The Notebook" (but I think there might be similarities in the story), but I was just bawling my eyes out with this movie. The chemistry between the two leads was just right. The ending... waaaaah! It was good. It's one of the best Korean movies I've ever seen so far. I'm not exactly the expert on Korean movies, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. So bittersweet.

That was my Saturday afternoon... Basically crying about "A Moment to Remember". Hehe. That evening, I went with Mark and Rommel to see "Cars". Of couse, the clips at the end credits were pretty priceless. Mark was dozing off occasionally. It was a 1030 pm show for Pete's sake! Which is why you have to get some caffeine in your system for something like that. Hehe.

I stayed up late last night too watching Season 4 episodes of Sex and the City. That show is just amazing. The story was good. So many thought-provoking lines about being single, being in a relationship. And the fashion! Ugh! I think I now get my rations of wisdom and fashion in some Korean movies and Project Runway!

Sunday, Pleasant Sunday
I am liking this day a lot. :) I got up pretty early in the morning to hear mass. We went back to the house to have brunch, then Mama and I went to ATC to do errands and shopping. Hehe. Twas some nice bonding time with her. We had lunch at Italianni's and we ran into Camille, Ina, and Ate Lovely! Ina seemed to be on the growth spurt zone (she's taller than me now, I think!). Camille made a super sweet remark about "papatayin kita kung aalis ka for the US (ng matagal)" which translates to she will miss me terribly. Hehe. I made plans to visit their casa next week to watch "High School Musical", which the lil girl has been raving about a couple of weeks now.

I watched the Oprah show today! Vince Vaughn and the cast of Will and Grace were both in the episode... which I find rather strange since the end of Will and Grace is like an end of an era. They shou;d've dedicated an entire show to it! When the show finally wrapped up, I saw that the Oprah show was on CBS. Hehe! And then it made sense. I will miss Will and Grace! Note to self... buy Season Six and get started again!

***********

Tomorrow's a brand new day and I return to MTS homebase. I bet there are a ton of things I need to do... classes I need to enroll to (hmm).

Thank you for the weekend!

Back from training

I am now sitting on cubicle 5.10D, beside my Bangkok bud, Keysi! Today was a day of learning and massaging! Hehe! I had training the whole day, and then went straight to Tonton massage for a thirty minute foot massage. Sarap!

Random thoughts for the day...

** I was thinking of having a weekly feature on the family website... Featured Family of the Week or something like that. Hmm... we could also have a Featured Foto of the week! Like old old pictures of how people looked before. Or a beeday calendar.

Hmm... more blogging later. My mind's a blank right now. :-D

Finally!

I finally finished my Baguio chronicles for the Tanquilut Family Blogspot! Hmm... I think if I might've done everything in one sitting, it would probably take me close to three hours to finish! Whoa!

Anyway... I had a couple of blogging thoughts earlier today. Lemme see if I can retrieve some of them.

For the next three days, I will be a slave to CheQ Systems training. Food's good. It's a nice break from the 38th floor, but I surprisingly missed the hustle and bustle of MTS homebase! Hehe! I wonder how everyone is doing.

Pleasant surprises in my training today... Wilma Sapalaran was there! So we got into reminiscing about the good old high school days. We also got to talking about the whereabouts of our batchmates! Our talks suddenly made me want to have a high school reunion. But then again... am I ready for that? Hehe! So very Romy and Michelle, my thoughts are. What have I been able to accomplish in the last ten years?

Lemme see...

(1) Graduated college with a degree in Management Information Systems
(2) Spent 5 years building my IT career
(3) Travelled with friends to the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok
(4) Entered the Wedding industry as a part-time Wedding Planner

Not so bad. I would've wanted to see on that list : "a long-term relationship with my guy best friend, who I've known since college." Haha! Anyone in particular in mind?? Or perhaps.... "a budding relationship with this guy I met at work, who's from UP and makes me laugh until my sides hurt." Haha! Anyone in particular in mind?? Hehehe!

Several of our batchmates have accomplished major milestones in their careers and their personal lives (marriage, kids). Sometimes, I get to thinking if my accomplishments fall short of others'. Well... it doesn't do well to compare. Hehe. I think the ten years which have passed have brought so many changes in all our lives. Although different things have happened to us all (being different people and having different circumstances), everything is meaningful. We've all had meaningful experiences. And I'm happy with who I am and where I'm at right now. Because of that, I don't think I want to change a thing from the decade that has passed.

Oh. Hope is a funny thing. It can get entangled with expectations. But it really shouldn't.

Hehe... That didn't sound so random.

Oh! I think I wanted to create a short list of Korean movies I loved. I just saw "Innocent Steps" yesterday and it was super cute. Will make short list in the next coming days.

I've been blogging for the last 2 hours! My eyes need to rest. So does MacMac. Hehe!

Images of Baguio

I've been trying to push myself (not hard enough though), to complete our Baguio adventure chronicle in the Tanquilut Family blogspot. I'm currently doing it in installments. I hope I get it done soon. I'm done with a day and a half worth of anecdotes. Sheeesh... half way through! It ain't helping that I can't figure out how to make a photo collage and to save it as a JPG file using iPhoto. Usually, I edit the pics in groups using Powerpoint. But adding a photo one at a time!! Too tedious!

Anyways, here are some Baguio images which I really enjoyed taking.

This week's double feature

Being the movie buff that I am, it wasn't a brain twister for me to decide on seeing two movies on the same night. In some ways, that's a pretty typical Friday night for me. Hehe.

Anyways, this week's double feautre is "Cars" and "The Lake House". See my random thoughts below...

The Lake House -
I have a DVD of the original "Il Mare" Korean movie, but I have not seen it yet. So basically, this movie was adapted from that Korean movie. I have no clout to compare them though. My favorite parts... of course, the ending, And the party scene where the audience just knew that they were going to meet (I guess also the train station scene). Some parts were predictable (thanks to my Korean movies super powers of clairvoyance). I think it could have been an awesome movie, given some tweaking with the script... Probably something to hold the story better together. The plot will really ask the viewer to take a leap of faith. I really liked this movie. I wouldn't mind seeing it again. Sulit ang P150 bukols sa Shangrila Mall. And I think the swooning and teary-eyed girls in the audience would agree with me.


Cars -
This was again a fun movie from Pixar. Owen Wilson voiced the part really well. The animation was just amazing. Most of the time, I couldn't believe my eyes that I was watching an animated movie! They all looked sa real! The scenery, the clouds... Perfect! Best parts for me... That small tire-changing car who does a lightning-speed number on Lightning. That was too funny! Cameos were great too! jay Leno and Arnold the Governator! Haha! I loved the end-credits! Haha! John Ratzenberger owned it! Toy Car Story! Monster Inc! A bugs life! Haha! Any Pixar fan will laugh out loud.


More Random Thoughts...
I liked all that they said about waiting and how it relates to timing and finding "the one." As I said, I am a sucker for 'em memory and time bending stuff. I absolutely adored Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind. I loved Frequency (although the ending of that movie truly stretches the viewers' belief/sense of reality). Anyways... Tis possible that we know or have met "the one", but the now isn't the time and the place asof yet.

My all-time favorite movie for this year remains to be Pride and Prejudice. The other day, I was watching "Spooks" (well, Papa was watching it and I could not help but see it, since the TV was right in front of the bed where I sleep). To my delight, Mr. MI5 agent was none other than Matthew MacFayden! Mr. Darcy on Pride and Prejudice. *sigh* I just adored that movie. How can you not say no to someone who tells you, "You have bewitched me. Body and Soul. And I love, love, love you." *sigh* Persuasion is anothe Jane Austen novel which I think might be worth the read. Hmmm...

My First Conference Call in 3 months!

I am currently in my first conference call in three months! As oppossed to daily conference calls in my previous project, it's a welcome change actually. But then it's a three hour conference call... and my back is starting to hurt. Hehehe!

MacMac has been such a good WebMeeting companion! And I'm pretty amazed how easy it is to work from home because of all the web-based applications I can use... checking my mail, installing a printer... Hehehe!

I do miss talking to counterparts and clients. Me likey the small talks and reporting progress and issues. Haha! Perhaps I just like talking and talking for hours end. There's also that rush of being able to accomplish something after a long day of work. But then again, I had five frickin years of that. Argh.

Ooppsie... Although MacMac has been the obedient companion, it seems my Globe line is not agreeable with my long distance call. I've been on the line for almost two hours now and I was kicked out. Bummer! I can't even send an SMS message! I wonder what's going on...

Random thoughts for the day...

** Oh how time flies with you're busy as a bee. As of now, I think have about 6 members of the MTS Communications Committee! Which is rather cool. I want to get this initiative started. It's so very Blue Flame... circa 1996!

** Lost appetite over shrimp eggs... Ewww.... I'll leave it at that. But my lack of a filling lunch led me to a sweet-fest of hourly snacking,

** I delight over coming home with the orange sky on the background. It just feels nice to be home early.

** Gelatin is a low fat dessert. And Ate Henny made several batches of the cherry Jell-O with condensed milk ( a symphony of sweets!). They needed some more cooling two hours ago. I wonder if they're ready for consumption now....

Project Runway Season One Finale

After several months of being a huge fan of the show, the moment of truth finally arrived! Jay McCaroll won Project Runway (Season One)! His collection was just awesome. I somehow got the feeling that he had the creative edge over Kara Saun after seeing his models strut their stuff in his outfits during the runway show.

I wonder if ETC will be showing Season Two soon. I'm not sure if the local DVD stores have the Project Runway series (but it might be worth asking).

I love love love this show! I can't wait till the second season starts!

Back from Baguio

It''s been almost 24 hours since we sealed our Baguio Trip with a tired and exhausted kiss! Hehe! Pictures to come soon, as well as the narrative of our fun trip with the Tanquilut peeps. Highlights I can easily remember:

** The wonderful wonderful weather! I wish Metro Manila and Baguio have the weather in common. My best weather moment was when we were hanging out at the fifth or fourth floor of SM Baguio where the breeze was just angrily blowing to this coldest delight. Brrrrrrrilliant!

** Poker with the cousins... Being the only girl from our age group, I had a great time playing poker with the boys! So fun were the side comments and after-the-river-results that I think I might've pee-ed in my pants. Haha! I did win one round Saturday night, but lost both rounds Sunday evening.

** Seeing Karina and Tita Lydia at the Manor. For the brief moment, it was Baguio with the JBs 2005 all over again. I miss Maan! Waaah! Bitin kami ni Karina.

** O Mai Kan Mongolian Lunch. Stuffed again with a capital "S"! Loved the food! / Kubo Grill Dinner. Stuffed as well, and savings were aplenty! Thanks to Tito Mar's friend/restaurant owner, Nelson. Champion!

I've been tinkering with the photo booth application of MacMac, and incidentally, Fonzie and Tita Myr dropped by today. So we took this picture. Enhanced it with iPhoto as well. Hehe.



I need to upload the Baguio pics soon... and I wonder where the day went. I slept the entire morning, watched TV and ate a lot of my Baguio goodies (Good Shepard Ube and the buttered oats! I love 'em thin, crispy cookies!)

A Glimpse of the City of Pines, Wright Park to be exact.

The long weekend is officially here! And our family trip to Baguio will officially commence in a less then two hours. I'm all packed and ready to go. I think my digicam is done charging. Cellphone still in progress. iPod still in progress. That friggin' iPod bluetooth charger ought to be worth every penny!! The fake one I bought over at Amazon gave up after only four months of service. Bummer.

Chargers aside, I'm curious how this trip will go. We started with roughly 35 confirmed attendees. By the middle of this week, we were down to 15! Anyway, as Mama puts it... Perhaps this was what God intended. Hehe.

Week was ok. Had its ups and downs. Hehe. I enjoyed my rendezvous with Karina, as well as today's lunch with ERP5.

Anyways... how time flies! 2 minutes before 12MN! Better be ready with our stuff!

Baguio here we come!!

Stuffed with a capital "S"

I am soooo stuffed! Mrs. Tamayo and Anton, Mama's clients and good friends, treated us out to dinner. It was this quaint resto along Pasong Tamo Extension. The owner of the resto, Anton shares (authentic Espangol born and raised here), is the same owner of Terry's Deli. He's one of the few guys who has a pHD in Culinary Arts! Wow! I didn't even know that had pHDs for that! Anyway, dinner was fun. We had this appetizer platter of different cold cuts and cheeses. I ordered this chicken dish, which was huge! To top it off, we had churros con chocolate. And I must say... that was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. YUMMY! Mrs. Tamayo couldn't let us go home without goodies. We ordered churros con chocolate for Tonton and she even asked Anton to get me this chocolate bar (a whopping 375 bukols!). European, so I'm quite hopeful it'll be heavenly.

Random thoughts for the day...

**Career compass pointing... I don't exactly know where. Haha! We had a Deployment Kit and Training Plan wrap up activity for our JSEs. The May 22 batch. I had such a good time discussing the Kit, giving out tips, conducting the Slambook "guess who?" activity, and seeing them sign on each others' backs (dedics on a clean sheet of paper pinned to their backs of course). I think they all had a good time. And I just felt real good about it! Maybe it's the similar high I get after every successful wedding, when most if not all the guests are in high spirits. It just thrills me to see other people motivated, better informed and pleased with themselves. Appreciation I guess is a bonus (but sometimes, it ain't. Haha!). So I dunno where my career compass is pointing towards. I do like managing people. Coaching, training, and teaching. Project Management. That's the stuff.

**I like talking to people... and relating to them. I felt I had a pretty productive day today, although I barely stayed put in front of the computer to complete some of my other pending work. Again... this very much relates to career compass random thought.

**No "Cars" asof yet today. So movie choices this week, not too impressive.

**Baguio trip this weekend is shaping up. We are going to Manaog before going up to the City of Pines. My first time there!

My favorite movie trailers

MacMac has been nice enough to show me awesome movie trailers (the resolution, I must say, is simply outstanding!). I am a certified movie buff, yes. And I think I've said this before, my favorite part of the movie experience is watching the trailers. Sometimes, the trailers are even better than the actual movie! Hehe! Anyway, random thoughts for today are my favorite movie trailers as of the moment. Trailers I've seen more than 3 times, but wouldn't mind seeing again, and again, and again.... I think you get the picture...

The Lake House ... Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Taken from "Il Mare", Korean movie cult classic. Tagline : "How do you hold on to someone you've never met?" It has chick flick written all over it. But still, the trailer I think gives a lot of inside scoop about the movie. But I love, love, love watching the movie trailer. Feeling invisible, falling for someone you've never met. Sounds magicial to me. I have fallen in love with Keane's "Somewhere only we know" which has been used in the trailer. I can't wait to see this movie. I hope it's good. Trivia... John Cusack was originally offered this part, but turned it down. I think the Keanu and Sandra tandem works.

Click ... Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale. Kate is forever pretty! And as I've said before, I am a sucker for 'em time bending, memory-related stuff. I love it that David Hasslehoff is in this movie! It's about time! Love the songs they've used in the trailer. Tears for Fears' "Everybody wants to rule the world". Adam Sandler rarely goes wrong with his movies.... well, according to moi, el presidente of the Happy Madison Fan Club. Hehe!

The Fountain... I actually just saw this one today. Hugh Jackman (fresh from Wolverine yummy-ness!) and Rachel Weisz. Looks like a period movie with some elements of martial arts. Looks interesting. Can't wait to see Hugh again.

Ok MacMac! The buck stops here! tis almost 1 AM and I think I need to hit the sack. So many to dos for tomorrow.

Nitey nite!

MacMac's firsts

Finally! Thanks to a little experimenting, I finally was able to figure out how to capture MacMac's first photos...

Here he is closed, basking in the warmth of his new home, our old computer room (there also resides a computer which has not been opened for a really long time).




Set-up was actually a breeze! There were a couple of pre-installed software and the O/S was built in. Tis a blue screen... but the good kind!



More exploring tomorrow!

Introducing MacMac

Thanks a whole bunch to Suzie!

MacMac has finally arrived! He and I finally met earlier today... approximately 2PM! I would very much love to post pictures, but I am still struggling with some of the commands of MAC OS X. I miss windows! I've been frantically searching websites for some info. On my to do list...

**Figure out how to install Yahoo! Messenger
**Figure out some of the easy keystrokes. I'm finding that right click does not exist so far. I dunno if I just need to reconfigure something.
**Figure out the basic file management tools. Where the hell is the explorer?! Internet Explorer in Mac terms is the Safari browswer they have.

I am liking the fancy shmancy icons on the bar below (whatchamacallit?) I'm a little frustrated why I am unable to just delete files from my desktop. It's quite difficult to transition when I've been a Windows girl all my life.

I love how it looks. It's just soooo purteeee!

Anyway... Welcome to my crazy world, MacMac! You and I will make beautiful music together, a gazillion blogger entries, several essays.... Hehehe!

Warm Saturday

My friendster horroscope for today reads...

The Bottom Line
To get what you really want today, try letting go and letting it come to you.

In Detail
Sometimes the best way to get something is to wait for it to come to you. Experiment with a more passive attitude about life -- give in a little more and let other people plot the course. Sitting in the back seat will give you a new perspective, and it will give some deserving folks their time in the sun. By the end of the day, you'll be a different place than you expected, but after you get your bearings, you'll enjoy checking out the surroundings.

What do I really want today??

(1) Get my MacBook from Suzie, whose fresh fresh US ass just touched the Philippine soil! Oh sweet MacBook... we shall be together tomorrow.

(2) Afteroon siesta... But this will be delayed to tomorrow afternoon. I have plans of taking the girls, Ina, Yssa, and Camille, out to see a movie. No timezone escapades! Hehe!

Yesterday was pretty fun! Pesem and I went to see Failure to Launch. We had dinner at Olivers and just talked about...umm... everyone we knew! Hehe! The movie itself was ok. And then he met up with his mountaineering friends, who I met for the first time. It's nice expanding your circle.

Movie Reviews for the week...

The Benchwarmers
Several funny moments. David Spade almost steals the movie. He was just adorable. Loved the hair! I was hoping for a better script. I liked the end credits where Jon Lovitz said, "...And I'm reaping all the benefits." Adam Sandler fans know that's a line right out of The Wedding Singer.


Failure to Launch
I wasn't feeling Sarah Jessica Parker's character in this movie. Unlike the Kate Hudson - Matthew McConaughey tandem, this lacked a little on screen chemistry. Story-wise, there were a couple of movie moments which needed more back story. Zooey Deschanel's character was funny wat times, but was just too weird for me. I liked Terry Bradshaw, who played Dad. He was funny! With the big booming voice. And this guy right here... Mr. Bradley Cooper... (rrraaaar!)


Villian No More We've seen him play the ultra competitive jack-ass of a boyfriend in the Wedding Crashers. And he was in "Alias" before, too. Cute cute cute! Love the blue eyes and the tan.
