This piece of news made headlines all over the world. Not to mention that CNN published their breaking news as such. Doesn’t matter if there are civil unrest in other parts of the world or natural disasters which could potentially cause millions of fatality and lost of homes or that some countries are sinking or going bankrupt.

No…what we are concerned about or what we is concerned about is the marital status of BranGelina. Please please oh..puh-leez tell me that this piece of news is worth every minute of our time staring into our IPAD, IpHone, or Mac or running our fingers through newspapers. And that this union will save thousands of lives, build new homes for people, put food on the table and prevent suicides.

I am telling you—there is nothing else to report already these people..Absolutely zilch!.

Nah…I think not. I won’t know what else to write except talking about Rafa’s awesome bod!! hahaha. Incidentally, check this out :

Yes, truly was spectacular but unfortunately, we didn’t get our monies’ worth and almost got our camera lens confiscated! I’ll tell you what happened :

If it’s your first time at any tennis Grand Slam tournament, like we were, read the rules. They will plaster it all over the court. We were scheduled to watch Nadal play Ferrer on Australia Day for a spot in the semis. And there were a whole bunch of rules like what you can bring, what size lens etc…For whatever reason, I am sure it must be a good one. Oh and dont even bother with the tripod because it won’t be allowed in.

So, I thought, with my Nikon 70-300 I had the best lens in the house!! Next to the pro-photographers of course. Also, I was very tempted to bring along my tripod. I am glad I didn’t because during bags-checkin (yes, you’ve gotta open up your bags and let them rummage through your personals before letting you pass through), they told me I couldn’t bring in my lens. I could keep it in the lockers that they provided at the park. Can you believe it? WHat if I had a 70-200 which is way larger than my zoom? Doesn’t make sense but anyway, we just walked away for a bit until hubby had the most brilliant of all brilliant idea. He suggested to hide the lens in his pants pocket. He was wearing those cargo pants with huge pockets on the sides?

We went in through different lanes, and when the lady asked where my lens was (cos my camera body looked pretty crazy without a lens strapped in), I had to act fast and told her it’s in locked away and that I was told not to bring in. Seeing the crowd, she let me go without asking for the locker chit. And, I went through.

Phew! That was indeed a close one. But, hubby told me not to walk around with my camera just in case someone reported me bringing in “illegal” goods. So, I had to take pictures right where we sat. Which was not too bad but not so good for taking pictures cos I always get the sides. And the players walked out from the direction of where we were seated so I only snapped their backs instead.

Despite the lackluster performance by Rafa, it was a good experience inside Rod Laver arena. It was spectacular to say the least. I know, it’s nothing compared to Center Court at WImbledon or even Philippe Chatrier at ROland Garros, still..it was impressive.

We had every intention of going to the French Open next year but looks like, our trip to ROland Garros will have to wait a couple more years. We simply cannot afford the tickets currently. We will have to postpone it till a little later.

So, anyway, just a little pic to bring you to 2012..heheh…Can’t wait for the OZ Open to begin!

You know when she started dating Ashton Kutcher and how she was dating this guy 20 odd years her junior, everyone gawked. When they got married, they had a heart attack. I mean, this age thing, no matter what they tell you that age don’t matter? Well, honey, it does. Plenty much. For some unknown reason people are still obsessed with age factor, gender issues, racial compatibility..the list goes on and on.

So, when they got together, and were together for a while, people weren’t digging it. I never really gave much thought actually. Probably except the fact she got herself a squeeze to keep. Or so I thought. And to sort of not alllow herself to look older than him, she made it a point to camouflage her age. It must’ve taken her alot of effort to do what she did. I mean, she probably kept to a very strict diet, worked out tirelessly, and truth be told, she honestly did dress immaculately. I for one, wouldn’t have given a damn but not her – she made sure she looked the part. To me, she looked better than she did 20 years ago.

Sadly, her efforts have all gone to the dumps as after 6 years of marriage, they’ve split up. Tragedy if you must. I bet she truly loved him and thought the union would last. She should know better innit? Celebrity marriages rarely lasts. Well, maybe some do but mostly don’t. Not especially when you have a man like Ashton Kutcher. Not that he’s a hunk..but, he’s popular. Popular to warrant some kind of marriage safety net.

Anyway, she’s 49. Still have a few more years before she’ll grow into an old spinster…hehehe .

why the ocean is blue?

why the whales have gone extinct?

did we ever lived in caves?

what on earth are electric cigarettes?

what is Ellen DeGeneres doing as an American Idol judge? She’s not a singer; neither is she a recording artiste. I have no freaking idea what she’s doing in the judges seat. Surely there are plenty more qualified judges in place of Paula. But, no…it’s got to be Ellen.

Could it be that she’s cheaper (in salary terms) compared to the others? hmmm…one wonders isn’t it?

Lets go for a little celeb gossip shall we and set aside anything that is normal for a change.

Last night I was watching E entertainment news. Since I am not living in the US, I don’t get live view of the current celebrity gossip. Our feed is at least a couple of weeks old. Ah well…any gossip will do.

Anyway, as I was saying, I was watching the news and one segment showed Tori Spelling spell-binding (pun intended) after child-birth figure and how she did it. I mean, seriously, that girl don’t look like she’s ever had given birth at all.

Apparently, she did it the au natural way — by exersizing and eating right. Seriously? I would’ve thought she went on a crash diet or had the best diet pill in town! LOL…or maybe, a super duper plastic surgery that was so good that it left no visible scar whatsoever. At least, not visible to the naked eye.

It was kind of fun wasn’t it? Talking about absolutely nothing at all. At least, nothing that is relevant to me or a benefit to me. I thought I’d just break the monotony just for a bit..:-D
