The Bachelorette splits....and I was right!!

I was right! I was right!!!!

Sorry I had to gloat here a bit cos I was right!!! I knew she picked the wrong guy!

This is regarding the Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas. She just called off her engagement with the guy Jesse Csincsack, who proposed to her in the finale show and she accepted on national TV.

They even had a website together. And seemed so in love....ha! But I knew she choose the wrong guy and it not last. Anyway this is what her fiance said in a video posted on their website. Btw, I think they just took down their website as I can't get in anymore.

Jesse Said -

"I kind of feel like it's our responsibility to tell you we're not together anymore, DeAnna broke up with me two days ago, and I just wanted to come on here and tell you guys face-to-face, I'm sorry - I did everything in my power to try and make this work. "She's a great person, but she wasn’t willing to try anymore. "She wanted something different. The answer I got was, 'I love you, but I'm not in love with you. "That's a lot to swallow, no matter who you are. It's a lot to take in."

She just chose the wrong guy, it was obvious! She said she wanted marriage and stability but she went and chose the guy would don't seem to want that yet. Furthermore, the guy she rejected (the somewhat stable, but probably less interesting guy) he now will be get his second chance at love as the next Bachelor show coming up soon.

Well!! Well!! Sometimes, I really wonder if all these reality shows are just publicity stunts. But at least one of the couple did make it and still happily married with kids! Snippets of the Bachelorette seasons-

Season 1
Trista Rehn selected Ryan Sutter, and their December 2003 wedding was broadcast in one of the most widely viewed programs in the history of reality television. They welcomed their first child, son Maxwell Alston, on July 26, 2007. They remain the most famous and most successful coupling produced by the television series.

Season 2
Meredith Phillips chose Ian Mckee, but they ended their relationship in February 2005.

Season 3
Jen Schefft, selected by Andrew Firestone in Season 3 of The Bachelor, got a second chance at love, after her relationship with Firestone ended, in The Bachelorette's third season. She chose Jerry Ferris, an art gallery director, over fellow finalist John Paul Merritt in a first live final-rose ceremony.[2] During this last episode, Jerry proposed to Jen. She rejected his proposal, however, stating that the chemistry was not there.

Season 4
DeAnna Pappas

, who won the The Bachelor but was yet rejected by bachelor Brad Womack, chose Jesse over Jason. They were set to wed on May 9, 2009 but the couple announced their break-up in November 2008

This show would probably not hit the shores of Malaysia since it will be too outdated anyway if it did. So, do read what I wrote about 3 months ago, just to prove that I was right!! Gloat! Gloat! Click here.

Sex and The City - Love Letters of Great Men

If you have seen the movie, you would know that the scene above (whereby she reads from a book titled Love Letters of Great Men) is pivotal to the overall movie's plot.


Basically, after the movie release, fans all over the world started searching for this book. Ah ha....it DOES NOT EXIST!!


The closest text in the real world apparently is "Love Letters From Great Men and Women: From the Eighteenth Century to the Present Day," first released in the 1920s and reissued last year by Kessinger Publishing, which specializes in bringing back old works.


Infact due to its demand, British firm Macmillan spotted the gap in the market and decided to issue a new publication with the same title.
It contains intimate communiques from historical figures including Pliny, Henry VIII, Mozart, Napoleon, Prince Rainier III and Oscar Wilde. The book that was published May 12, 2008 by John C. Kirkland. It has the exact excerpts used in the movie itself. It is available to buy on Amazon.com.


So fans out there, the book did not exist before but the inspiration came from the book released in 1920 and then after the movie's success, some smart fella decided to publish a book with the exact title and concept.

Sex and The City - The Movie

I watched it finally. It was date night for me and husband and for 50cents tickets, it was well worth it.

I was pleasantly surprised on how well the movie turned out. I totally enjoyed the series but movie making is a totally different ball-game. And I must say the writers did a great job. For months after the movie release, I avoided all news about the movie and I am glad I did cos I really did not know the plot of the movie. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised.

Highlights of the show for me -

1) Carrie during the Vogue photoshoot - It was wow!, She looked fantastic, she looked like a supermodel. It was every women's dream come true. Gorgeous.

2) When Mr Big did not turn up at the wedding and both their cars met. Carrie got out and hit Mr Big with the roses. I thot it was classic and very real cos I could really feel the emotions of being jilted and that reaction was so real. But guess who stole the scene away? For me, it was Charlotte. After Carrie hit Mr Big, she turned and leaned on Charlotte crying. It was Charlotte's glare at Mr Big and one word NO! was enough to say it. DON'T COME NEAR MY FRIEND! YOU BACK OFF! YOU'VE HURT HER ENOUGH.

3) Charlotte pooping in her pants. Oh my! That was so funny! It was quite a moment!

4) Brooklyn Bridge - When Miranda and Steve ran into each other's arms. It was such a touching moment. And the lead up to it was pretty symbolic. Basically when they meet, it is about putting the past behind and moving forward together as a couple. It was really emotional as both of them really brought out the emotions. Not forgetting the sex scene after (if you all saw the uncensored version), it was really passionate, almost desperation of hurt and joy, pain and happiness on being united as one. Great performance!

5) Samantha and her naked sushi body. It's so funny. Something that I thot of but never would dare to do of course.

6) Miranda and her bushy bush down there. I think after the movie, a lot of ladies went for a trim. :)

I would say the movie was done nicely. It really kept the essence of the series very well. It had the drama required for a movie, though a bit corny at times but overall it was very smooth, very entertaining. A definite can-see movie for the hopeless romantics.

Baby videos...

Since I am thinking of babies, I decided to view some cute and funny baby videos on you tube. Here I am pasting a couple of funny ones.

Babies always put a smile on your face. It is even more adorable when babies are laughing. They sound so ground-up and you can't help but laugh along with them.



Brother and baby love. This is really cute.



Since it is the Beijing Olympic Games, to play tribute to the mascot...the Giant Panda of China, this video shows mother and baby panda. See till the end :)



Have a good weekend!

Beautiful in My Eyes....

I have been feeling a bit down these few days and usually when I am down, I tend to appreciate people around me more. I try not to let my husband see that I am feeling down as I don't want people around me feeling awkward. Somehow, my husband is always aware and he will try in his little ways to cheer me up. Like today, he said he had sore throat and decided to stay home. I know that he wants to spend sometime with me and make sure I am ok. And these little things really make me appreciate him more, make me love him more. I gave him a facial and a massage! :)

I love the song below and always imagined my hubby singing it to me. I dedicate this song to him! :)

When Harry Met Sally....

I found these videos on youtube. If you liked the movie, it will refresh your memories of friends turning into lovers, proving that man and woman cannot be friends :)



The below video is the famous "orgasm" scene by Meg Ryan. Be warned. Click on your own risk. You may want to turn down the volume if you are not alone, but if you like by all means...volume it up.

The Irony Of Men and Women

I guess Men and Women are different. Therefore, every time I read below, I laugh, acknowledge but will never admit.

Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy

A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need.

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, but she does.

A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Do you believe this John Edward guy?

This is John Edward's interview with ABC spokeperson.

He admitted to having the affair.

He denied being father to the baby.

He said the affair ended in 2006 so he can't be the father.

He denied giving money to Reile Hunter.

He appeared like a good man who made a mistake, and since his wife can forgive him, then everybody should.

But I don't think he is telling the whole truth. John Edwards looked nervous at some of the questions and his answers were a little evasive too.

Do you believe he is telling the whole truth? Judge for yourself. Let me know.

For me, once a liar, always a liar!

"The Women" Movie - looking forward to this.

I am looking forward to this show. Please click here to view link and watch the video.

Firstly, I am a fan of Meg Ryan and it's been a long time since she has acted in any movies.
Furthermore, this movie has 2 other powerhouse actresses - Annette Benning and Eva Mendes and even Jada-Pinkett-Smith.

Since I am on the topic of infidelity....this movie is exactly it.
In the clip above, you will find the shock of Meg Ryan finding out about her husband's infidelity in the most unexpected place.

Seriously, the shock of knowing your's husband/bf's infidelity is really unimaginable. I don't wish it upon anyone. Probably it is better not to know :(

Anyway, hopefully it will be a good movie. It will be out probably Sept 2008.

Infidelity

Since I am writing about infidelity (read my previous postings), here I am sharing a poem I found written by Vyne Daguasi.


INFIDELITY

Can one heart possibly beat twice at a time?
Can one heart possibly sail in two rivers at a time?
Can one soul possibly have two soul mates?
Can one “I LOVE YOU” possibly uttered twice by one lips at a time?

Sweet beginnings,
Became bitter endings.
Love that were sacred,
Became poisonous hatred

All I’m asking is loyalty
I want his sincerity
I demand pure honesty
For I totally loathe infidelity.

Vyne Daguasi

Men are CHEATERS! CHEATERS! LIARS! LIARS!

Another scandal here in USA involving a prominent former Democratic Presendential Candidate Senator John Edward. He is young-looking and handsome....a very potential candidate and also a sad story as his wife is battling an incurable cancer. So there are probably some sympathy voters but some did criticize him for running in the presenditial race even though his wife is sick.


Anyway recently, there were some allegations that he fathered a child with filmmaker Rielle Hunter. He denied the allegations saying that it was "tabloid thrash".


After some pressure from the Senate Committee, he finally admitted today..to the extramarital affair. He denies he is the father of the baby and also stated he is not in love with Hunter. He also stated his wife does not know of the affair.


Are his actions justified? Should he be forgiven? Not only he had an affair, he lied about it too. Stupid!



Above picture with his wife. Actually he is rather good-looking for a 55 years old man huh? He has the looks, the money and the power. BUT that doesn't give him the right to have an affair!

The Bachelor - in Splitsville

Anyway.....I am not surprised to hear that The London Bachelor Matt Grant and his fiancee which he found on the show Shayne Lamas (aka Lorenzo Lamas's daugther) have gone to splitsville. Well, he is young and handsome...come on.... only 27, you think he is ready to settle down??

And he chose an "actress" or a wannabe actress and she is only 23. Do you believe that she is so in love?, found the love of her life...ready to settle down etc etc. The odds are against it. But then, they did put up quite a realistic potrayal during the show.

So I for one, am not surprised that they called it quits. just surprised that he actually proposed at the end. Could he not have just chosen her vs actually asking her to marry him? Maybe the producers of the show wanted more drama by an actual proposal.

So I don't think their love was real on TV and likely more a publicity stunt.

If that is true, then it's sad that love is being manipulated this way. Money can buy love...or at least fake love.

The Bachelorette - did she make the right decision?

Sorry for those who have not seen the latest season of The Bachelorette cos I am about to spill the beans on the ending.

Well, I think for all those who watched, I think probably more than 50% (likely more) would think that Deanna Pappas has made the wrong decision and picked the wrong man! Now, I will give her the benefit of the doubt and probably blame it on the production team who probably steered our minds to favor the other guy just to give a shocker ending. You know.....that is television for you, just to get more ratings!

But, for this entry, I will take it at face value on exactly what I saw and write about it. So there you have it, a beautiful girl, she seemed really wholesome, grounded, sweet, knows what she wants and she claims she wants to settle down, find the right guy, have kids etc etc......like most of the women in the world wants.

So, she was lucky to be on this reality show whereby she was presented with all these good-looking eligible men. Now...cut the story short, she has picked down to the last two. One guy - Jason is a early 30s, good looking, stable job, grounded, probably a bit boring but secure and mature.....he is divorced with a kid, a wonderful father. Now, the other guy is Jesse 26, long haired, a snowboarder, full of fun, a bit quirky, never really been in a serious relationship (longest 2 years) and don't seem to be ready for commitment. However, in the course of the few weeks, both of them fall for Deanna and now it is up to her to choose.

Now, of course everyone is expecting her to choose Jason, what she wanted seem to be a fit to what Jason has to offer but as always...the shocker is that she went to Jesse, the unlikely guy. Well, at the finale show, they came out, looking really in love, engaged and also have set a date for the wedding.

The reactions were mixed, probably 20% supported her decision with most comments saying that she has made the biggest mistake and that the relationship won't last. He is not ready for commitment etc etc.

So, did she make the right decision? On face value, I would agree that she may have not made the most secure decision but then again, we never know. Deanna is 26 and probably while she says she wants to get married, have children, I guess she is not. Come on, she wants to have fun, she is in a reality show for goodness sake, of course she still wants to have fun and probably that is why she chose the fun guy. The family guy would have been too boring and she would need to get into huge responsibilities almost immediately. Now, I think if she was 29 or early 30s, I would think that her decision would be very different. She would definitely want more security.

Does this mean that her decision is a definite mistake? Maybe not, cos if they both grow and want the same things eg....the Snowboarder do have some sense for the future......will get serious and more committed, I think that they will likely stand a chance. She will probably be frustrated if Jesse just want to have fun all the time. Now the danger for guys is that some do want to be boys as long as they can. And they are so fun to be with, but girls - you have to choose - fun may not always equal to long term commitment as fast as you want it to be. It is a risk that you have to take. You know you mature much faster and your clocks ticks faster too....

So, my bet is that the relationship may not last. I don't mean to be MEAN and not support the relationship but I am kinda influenced by what I saw.....and I am conservative, I would go for the boring, grounded guy anytime. I am boring or maybe it is just that I am 30 something and wiser.

Anyway, we shall see...........
