It's perfect for relaxation, for watching your favorite TV show, drowning yourself in a movie marathon or eating all the foods you want. (but of course, have a proper kosher!) And oh, by the way... planning gimmicks with your friends should not be missing on the long list.
As of today, I've watched two movies:
THE NANNY DIARIES
THE NANNY DIARIES is the story of Annie Braddock (Scarlett Johansson), a fresh-out-of-college Jersey girl who is uncertain of her future. Annie’s mother is pressuring her to take a job in business, but Annie has more interest in anthropology. After blowing her first interview with a New York financial firm, Annie heads to Central Park to mull over her options. As fate would have it, it’s there that she meets Mrs. X, a wealthy mother from the Upper East Side.
Mrs. X happens to witness a warm interaction between Annie and her son Grayer, and mistakenly assumes Annie is a nanny. She immediately offers Annie a job, and despite the warnings of her best friend, Linette (Alicia Keys), Annie takes it. She decides to approach the job like an anthropologist in the field, and she is alternately fascinated and appalled by her observations. Despite their luxurious lifestyle, the Xs are revealed to be a truly dysfunctional mess. Annie quickly learns that money might indeed buy you a house on Nantucket, but it certainly can’t buy you an honest husband or the affection of your son.
The film has a great time poking fun at the absurdity and hypocrisy of Manhattan’s upper-crust, and it’s at its funniest when relying on the sharp observations of its source material. It’s surprisingly fanciful in places, with quick nods to MARY POPPINS and its very amusing use of the Natural History Museum. A sort of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA with a fantastical edge, THE NANNY DIARIES is a satisfying slice of cinematic schadenfreude.
Okei... I give this movie:
I love this movie... add to that is the "Harvard Hottie" in the film which is linked to Annie. This guy kinda look like the guy from Gossip Girl..I forgot his name already..oh... never mind!
Next movie:
With a fine cast and fun in-jokes, Disney’s ENCHANTED is sure to cast a spell over both children and adults. It begins with a 2-D animation sequence reminiscent of the company’s beloved past. Surrounded by dozens of cute animals, Giselle sings about her desire to find her one true love. Meanwhile, a handsome prince overhears her, and they meet and fall in love. In many Disney movies, this is where the story ends, but ENCHANTED is just starting out on its journey. The prince’s wicked stepmother can’t stand to lose her throne, so she pushes Giselle down a well, and the beauty ends up in the real world. Gone is the animated fantasy, and a live-action Giselle lands in the middle of Times Square in New York City. Her optimism and perkiness put her at odds with the New Yorkers she encounters, but she gets help from a cynical divorce lawyer as she waits for her prince to rescue her. Fans of Disney classics from SLEEPING BEAUTY to BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will be glad to see their favorite films referenced in ENCHANTED. Jodi Benson makes a brief appearance, and the evil queen threatens to kill Giselle with a poisoned apple à la SNOW WHITE. Though it reminds the audience of past favorites, ENCHANTED boasts its own script that is at once intelligent and heartwarming. As a result, ENCHANTED is a film that deserves to sit on a shelf with Disney’s classics.
Okei.. I give this movie:
The movie is great... it includes some movie cuts from the classics Snow White and Cinderella... but I just can't give this movie 5 stars. I don't know... it just didn't got my attention that much. But it's worth watching, I must say.
We just watched two movies today. We'll reserve the other ones for the next days.. we're not on a hurry that much. Let the DVD player do the work! hehe...

I'm amused that I saw one of Roger's game at Balls channel last night. It's a match against Pete Sampras at Madison Square Garden. It's just a fun/charity game but at least Roger won this game. I mean, even though it's just a FUN game.. it's still considered as a serious match-up between 2 of the greatest tennis players of all time. Well, Pete Sampras was regarded by Roger Federer as his childhood hero and take note Sampras won 14 grand slam major titles while Roger have only 12 on his list. I think he's on the run for getting the same or more than that of Pete's. I don't know.. only time and Roger can tell that.
To end this, I want to share something funny about myself. This happened last Black Saturday. This is how it goes.
I was surfing our tv channels when I get passed this korean channel, so expect that I can't understand their language, right?
But what's weird is that I get hooked-up to it...
ask me why?
It just so happens that this channel is airing a korean talk show and their guest is a korean boy band named TOHOSHINKI... (Rising Gods from the East) and I tell you...this boy band members are all cuties and hotties.
Ewan ko ba... I'm not that much into Chinese or Koreans (???) but they got this charm and appeal that kept me hooked on their show from 12am to 1:00am...and take note.. hindi ko naiintindihan yung salita nila hah.. hehe! Wala lang, I'm just looking at them..their moves and the way they talk. Ah basta.. weird talaga...hehe!
Look at them:
Kaya ngayon.. lagi ko ng tinitingnan yung korean channel na yun..haha! Kahit na wala akong maintindihan, okei lang. Infairness, dami talagang cute sa korea. (.^__^.)
oh my!...........
