Slumdog

I wondered what all the fuzz was about Slumdog Millionaire at the Oscars. I didn't care about the reviews nor the fact that it won 8 out of 10 Oscar nominations. I didn't give it a chance....until....hubby rented the DVD. It's a really good movie. Realistic. Raw. Moving. It even reminded me of my good old Lupang Hinirang, the Philippines. Definitely Oscar worthy.

Anyway, have a hair appointment this afternoon. I'm glad I'm seeing my regular hair stylist this time. The last time I was there, I had to settle for someone else because my stylist was on leave and my hair emergency couldn't wait. I should have waited. Not that the "replacement" didn't do a good job, it's just that I thought she was an AIRHEAD. She talked non-stop and none of what she said made sense. She offered me discount on Tanning products and tanning beds! Can you imagine??? It's like offering a diet pill to a skinny woman. Do I look like I need a tan??? I politely declined and told her I was born with a tan.

On another note, I am currently the top sales person on ID alert product in the whole Bancorp (from the midwest to as far South as Florida), can you imagine? I am getting recognized, and it's getting a little scary. I don't like the attention, but I'm trying to enjoy my 15 minutes.

Have a happy weekend everyone!!!!

I haven't had the chance to see the movie yet. Although I assumed I would enjoy it since it's more of an Indie film. Very funny btw....diet pills for a skinny person.

Not really sure what Bancorp is, suppose I could Google it....just didn't :P In any case, congratulations. Don't be so modest, I'm sure your "15 min. of fame" is well deserved =)

If you still keep in touch with Christiana (sorry if misspelled), could I get her email or could you pass along mine to her. I would appreciate it. I'll be posting updated photos on myspace within a week. Take care and God bless.

Peace, love, and Asian power :P

Hello Rhada,

Gusto ko rin ngang panoorin yan e. Kaya lang di ko mahanap. Wala akong tiyagang maghanap ng movies sa net ngayon e. May pinagkakaabalahan. :) Pero meron nga talaga sa YouTube? Didn't look for it there, kasi naman hahanapin mo pa yong karugtong. :)

Hintayin ko na rin na ipalabas sa TV, gaya-gaya kay cheh. :)

Anyway, have a great Holy Week!

MANAY rhada, napanood ko rin yung slum, balita, hindi daw maganda yung film, pero pwede na, moving nga siya, saka reality tv talaga.

Balita din, laki daw ng budget non,g film na inutang pasa french banks, kaya dafat lang daw kumita. Sosyo si Oscar, lol
