The Break-Up

^_*

I went to see Jennifer Aniston's movie "The Break-Up" with my friend, Kiang. Kiang is a girl, btw. Just felt like chick-flick after a long time. Although I rather call it a grown-up romantic comedy as "Chick-flick" reminds me of Lindsay Lohan's movie instead...


I'm Jen's big fan since "Friends" and especially after her real life break-up with Brad, she score a whole bunch from me. So although the movie didn't get good critic's review, I'm watching it anyway.

Not the best movie I've seen but it was entertaining. It got me thinking if two people decided to be together they just had to maintain certain level of "respect" to each other's feelings. It's undeniable that once two people reach certain point in a relationship, they tend to get too comfortable being themselves... starting to be "selfish"

After all, ups and downs in relationship is normal. As long as they communicate and open, things should be fine. Personally, I can't wait for the very first fight between me and my special someone.... I take that first serious fight as a critical point where two people really get to know each other... and get to know what make up of the two of them.

The movie scene in Chicago.. my second home. The skyline of Chicago architecture by Lake Michigan is the best! I will definitely go visit there again.

On another note, I still don't get a chance to see "The Lake House" and "Cars" although those two movies are more interesting -- this is becuz the movie line-up in Thailand sucks! oops sorry for the language.. but it's true!!

First time I saw Jeep Liberty, it was in silver. It was driven pass Barnes & Noble in Deerfield... I was in the balcony looking down.. It was such a cute, yet strong, SUV.

I was telling myself "I gotta own one of this"


July 2001: I took my shiny Jeep out for a spin.. and for some photo shoot :)



Here's my beloved Jeep Liberty... My first SUV.

Germany Won Portugal!!

Bastian Schweinsteiger scored two second-half goals for Germany claiming third place at the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ by beating Portugal 3-1 in Stuttgart on Saturday, 8 July 2006.

Ballack didn't play this match due to knee injury. All other squads got to attend the Worlcup in this match (except HILDEBRAND Timo -- 3rd Goal Keeper). Everyone did a GREAT job - it was an awesome game. Really worth not sleeping to watch! :)


Germany finished the tournament with total 14 goals to their name - three more than any other team with just Sunday's Final to play.

Do talk her talk: Ashton - Demi

Ashton -Demi marriage a while ago (Sept 2005) really got me to be open to this concept of older woman-younger man.. just recently found this article and I thought you might find interesting!!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heck, if a man like Ashton will pass up budding starlets for mother-of-three Demi, there must be certain upsides to a woman of experience It’s a huge allure for young men because here’s a sophisticated, attractive woman in control of her own life,” explains Valerie Gibson, author of Cougar: A Guide For Older Women Dating Younger Men.

“Often, she doesn’t want to get married and doesn’t want children. For a young man, she’s a sexy, exciting companion.”

Do talk her talk:
Above everything, an older woman would like to have a decent conversation. Questions like "What’s your major?” and “Did you see the new O.C.?” are suddenly moot. Ask her questions about her job, her hobbies, what type of music she likes.

Don’t play around:
"If a guy tries that three-day rule, I’m already thinking he’s too insecure to handle a relationship with me.” The solution’s simple: Just act like you feel, not how you think you should.

Do stay cool:
Don’t date an older woman if you can’t handle that attention. But if you’re deft, you’ll not only cope, you’ll impress your lady with your maturity and charm. That stodgy couple one table over insists on gawking? Turn, smile, and smoothly say, “I don’t blame you for staring. She’s beautiful, isn’t she?”

Don’t mention the numbers:
A line like, “It’s so great that we get along despite the generation gap,” sounds good in your head, but comes across as, “I’m glad we get along even though you’re so old.” Besides, it’s your personalities, not your birthday candles, that are compatible—and that’s where you should concentrate. So please, avoid asking questions like, “Did video games exist yet when you were a kid?”

Do act your age:
Fact is, if she wanted to date a man her age, she would, so don’t pressure yourself to act more sophisticated than you are. ...the reason that somebody is attracted to younger guys is that their minds are more open. They offer spontaneity and fun...
