I'd really like to help you, but I DO NOT kiss frogs.

It's been a good year for Disney animation, first we just had the magnificent UP for the summer, which has propelled Disney Pixar to the summit of the 3D animation movies (in term of quality, not the big bucks), and on the other hand, now we're having the classic Disney feature, the 2D animation with THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG.

Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Mulan, Tarzan, Cinderella, Snow White, etc. Ring a bell? I miss those kind of movies, with family value story telling, along with nice soundtracks. Back then, Disney could come up with something fresh for each year release. I guess, the last time I saw a good one was Lilo & Stitch. Afterwards, we were bombarded by the 3D, and the 2D was lost into the abyss. But, thanks to John Lasseter (Pixar's boss), who has a great vision of bringing the old 2D alive again, by opening the Disney Animation Studios again, with The Princess and the Frog as its first production. And beyond my expectation, Disney's back with its magical charm.

Back then, Disney went for multi-cultural Princess (Belle, Mulan, Jasmine, and Pocahontas), and I think the decision to go for a 'black' Princess is not just a bold decision, but it pays well in the end. In fact, the New Orleans Jazz-era settings is a different approach compared to previous fairy tales which took place in older era. It's kinda giving us something fresh about princess movie.

The story tells us about Tiana, a waitress and expert cook, who works in a small New Orleans cafe, where she works double shifts to earn enough money to open her own restaurants, in order to fulfill her late father's wish. Meanwhile, Prince Naveen just drops by to the city, where he will marry the local princess, Charlotte, who happens to be Tiana's best friends. Apparently, every fairy tale must have an antagonist. Dr. Facilier, part magician part voodoo expert, has his own agenda by using the Prince and his butler to fulfill his madness ego and rule New Orleans under his feet. In this case, he persuades the butler to become both the Prince and the his puppet, while the original Prince is transformed into a frog. After some strings of events at the welcoming party, Tiana met the frog princess up in the balcony, where she's making a wish upon a star to make her dream comes true. Well, surely becoming a frog is not part of the wish list, since this is not that particular story where the frog kisses the princess and he becomes human again. After the shocking incident, Tiana and Naveen has to find out the way to overcome their curses and save New Orleans from Facilier's madness.

Disney smartly twists the whole plot in order to make it an extraordinary fairy tale which sets in a more modern era, where Jazz is the main theme. Watching this movie successfully re-ignites my old memories of classic Disney's plot and soundtracks. With the trademark of introducing memorable characters, catchy songs, funny moments, and not to mention the 'live happily ever after' portion, I think THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG has met my expectations on how a Disney movie should be done. Disney just makes our dreams come true by return to its roots on animation film making and story telling. Other big addition is the Jazz, where Randy Newman perfectly provides the whole range of jazz music which are authentic to the locals, with a mixture of pop and catchy tunes.

It's amazing and a bold move by Disney, where most studios are producing the 3D movies, and suddenly they create something which a step backward in technology, but nonetheless, it's not step down in delivering the entertainment. Perhaps it is too premature to celebrate the 2D is coming back to the cinemas, but at least this is a huge first step from the grave. It is nice to see the fairy tales are in the big screen again, since I believe that these kind of movies are the best to be told not only for children, but also for people who still believe in hope, love story, dreams, happy ending, and wishing upon a star.

Time to nut up or shut up!

I must say, I'm not a big fan of horror movies. But then, several years ago, I watched a zombie flick, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, and it was instantly became my favorite comedy-zombie movie. It was really hilarious with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost gave me tons of laughter. Back to early 2009, I watched the the trailer of ZOMBIELAND, and I couldn't wait to see this one. Last night, I managed to watch it, and yes, it was just as I expected, funny and gory! Hey, nowadays it's common to see funny and porn in the same sentence, but gory? Nah, dun think so. Even Suri agrees with me on this one, ZOMBIELAND is funny as hell, with a good written script and jokes.

For starters, there's only 4 main characters in this movie (plus one very surprising guest star, which I won't spoil it here), where all of them are the survivors from the apocalyptic incident which has turned US citizens into zombies. It's not clear what happened at the beginning of the zombie outbreak, but it doesn't matter for me. Colombus (Jesse Eisenberg) is the first character showed in the movie, where his narrative tells us some tips and rules how to survive the Zombieland, and believe me, these rules as logical as they can be, the implementations couldn't stop me from laughing (e.g. Beware of Bathrooms and Don't Be a Hero).

Then, along the way, he met with other survivor, a crazy-zombie killer-guy name Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson). FYI, these guys don't want to mention names, so they introduced themselves based on their hometown, stupid heh? Afterwards, they are joined by 2 girls, Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), who bully them in two different occasions, by stealing their cars (twice) and guns (twice also). After some strings of incidents, they learned that they have to stay together to survive the journey to the place where there is no zombie (in this case, a theme park in L.A).

For me, the plus point about this movie is all about the cast. Eisenberg is as funny and naive as he can be, just like his previous character in Adventureland. He's not that kind of slapstick guy or too-much-talking-porn-jokes kinda person. He's just as normal as we are, but it's the way he sees things which is unique and hilarious. Harrelson is a marvelous addition to the cast, I can't imagine this movie without him, he's a one tough crazy bastard, where in one scene he can be the magnificent hero, and on the other, he can be as dumb as a donkey (the Twinkies thing is very very very dumb indeed). Emma Stone can be the new hot action chick, since her character is a strong sexy gal, who happens to be very good at handling shotguns. While Abigail Breslin, who has matured a lot since Little Miss Sunshine, is a cute and nice supporting cast, a perfect complementary.

I should mention that this is an R-rated movie, means if you can handle a large amount of bloodshed and some body splatters, you'll be just fine. Well, I'm a no brainer for horror or zombie movies, but this one is not scary as any typical genre I know, there are some moments which made me jumped a bit, but overall, it's a 'perfect' horror movie for me. I even found that Shaun of the Dead is much scarier than this. In other case, I guess this movie deliver one of the best cameo ever (better than Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder). Overall, ZOMBIELAND is a surprise hit of 2009, but nevertheless, it didn't fail to entertain me.

My suggestion, leave the brain at the door, enjoy the movie and the jokes, have fun with your friends, and learn all the zombie surviving rules (there are 32 of them). The best zombie exploitation film since Shaun of the Dead. With Twinkies!

Columbus: The first rule of Zombieland: CARDIO. When the zombie outbreak first hit, the first to go, for obvious reasons... were the fatties.

Bon appetit!

3 main reasons for watching Julie and Julia : (A) Nora Ephron, (B) Amy Adams, and (C) Cooking. Back in the 90's, Ephron's When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail were my favorites for rom-com (romantic comedy) genre. But since then, I guess it's been somehow so many misses for her. But after watching this one, it's like her biggest comeback after the total failure of Bewitched (damn you Will Ferrell!!). With amazing cast such as amazingly Meryl Streep and Amy Adams (what a beauty), this is one of the best rom com of the year, especially when it is combined with lots of cooking. Mind you, our favorite TV channels at moment are Asia Food Channel and Discovery Health and Living. Basically, we love cooking shows, from Jamie Oliver, Curtis Stone, Rob Rainford, etc, you name it! With all these perfect ingredients, Julie and Julia just deliver us a perfect recipe to experience a different kind of rom-com movie.

Based on 2 true stories, Julie and Julia tells us the life of Julia Child and Julie Powell. The first one was a famous American Chef who introduced the French cuisine and cooking techniques to the American mainstream through her cookbooks and television shows. The movie told us where Julia just moved to Paris in 1948, with her husband who worked at the US embassy, where she couldn't stand of doing nothing. Therefore, since her main interest was cuisine, she was interested in learning how to cook. The funny thing, she was almost 40 year old, and she didn't even know how to boil an egg. And after struggling with French language and horrible reception towards women on learning to cook, she managed to get a grip, and found her way to write "Mastering the Art of French Cooking", which eventually will become one of the most influential book in American culinary history.

On the other era, 2002, Julie Powell just moved in to Queens, NY, with her husband. Apparently, Julie worked in Lower Manhattan Development, just near the Ground Zero location. Her daily basis was to deal with stressing and complaint phone calls regarding the 9/11, family grief, or the protest on the new tower plan. In short, her life was so miserable back then. But, she always finds joy and pleases her self through cooking, where her husband acknowledges the talent in culinary. Therefore, he suggested that she should start her own blog. Since Julia Child is her inspiration for cooking, Julie then came up with the idea about making a challenge by cooking all 500+ recipes from "the Mastering the Art of French Cooking" book, within a year period, and wrote the experiences down in her blog. A plan which looked like lots of fun and full of excitements at the beginning, eventually became an egoistic and nightmare torture for Julie, since she was taking it way to seriously. In the end, she had to find a better way to keep her blog and marriage life in perfect balance, especially when her blog suddenly became popular each day.

These two stories are told in parallel with nice switching and mixing between them, so we won't be confused at all. The combination of telling the 1950's and 2002's era altogether gives us different colors and feelings, which are perfectly blended into the main character. We can see how each character struggles with her own ambitions and how they can go through all the ups and downs. And most importantly, how they can maintain their relationships when all else fails. Julia is a positive thinker, and always able to encourage herself when she feels down, while on the other hand, Julie is kinda childish person, who is self-centered, but not able to solve all the problems by herself. But most of the times, it's the cooking which eventually becomes their life savior.

Merly Streep gave one of her best performance (as always), where she provides the warmth and comforting Julia. I reckon she will get nominated for Golden Globe next year. On the other hand, Amy Adams (with short hair) as always, mesmerizes us with her magnetic appearances and gorgeous looks, and not to mention, good performance on bringing Julie into life. Other notable cast such as Stanley Tucci with Chris Messina are able to balance the main characters story life as the supportive husbands.

As quoted from rottentomatoes.com, boosted by Meryl Streep's charismatic performance as Julia Child, Julie and Julia is a light, but fairly entertaining culinary comedy. With great panache, it celebrates butter, bravery, and believing in oneself, all excellent things, brilliantly executed. Bon appetit !!!

Birthday + X-mas presents !!!

Last night, we were watching CSI, when suddenly Suri asked for her Chip's pillow, since she could only find Dale. Then, when I looked under the bed cover, to my SURPRISE, she had already prepared 2 gift boxes. For the the opener, she gave me a birthday card, with nice and touching words (I'll paste them right down below). Then, for my x-mas gift, she gave me a box full of Mars chocolate packs, damn right on the spot !!! I really really fond of those Mars with caramel inside. Guess I should re-write the whole diet plan for December (she asked me whether the Mars could hold up for one year, I replied, try a month instead !!!). But once again, do I really have a workable diet plan, anyway???

(Homer expression) Hmmm.....Chocolate....D'oh !!!!

Then for my birthday present, she bought me a Man Utd 09/10 home jersey, which I've been craving on for the past few months !!! Actually, back then when I went to Malaysia to see Man Utd Asia Tour, I planned to buy it by the time I got back to Singapore. But, I abandoned the plan since I found the jersey was quite expensive, and since then, I played down my intention to buy it. I told Suri I probably will skip this year's jersey, and planning to buy England shirt for next year World Cup. Well, turns out Suri told me that I should own it, since I'm quite a big fan of the Red Devils, and it looks so terribly wrong to watch their match every week but not having their latest home jersey. Who knows it can be a good investment if they manage to won the Premier League again this season. Although, she was quite disappointed since she couldn't find her own size, because the initial plan was that she wanted to have a pair of those, so we can wear it together if let's say we want to watch a match. Oh well, nevertheless, I got myself wonderful presents !!! Note to myself : find a pair for her then (I'm sure she will reply me, you better buy me the new Zara clothes instead !!!)

There have been times

when I've thought about

what my life would be like

if I'd chosen a different career

or done something else

with my talents.

But when it comes to imagining

my life without you,

I just can't do it.

You're such an important part

of everything I do,

everything I've become.

You've always been there

to help me figure things out

and make me laugh

when I take myself

too seriously.

Most of the time,

you know what I'm thinking

even before I do.

That's how close we are.

It's a beautiful experience

to go through life

with someone who makes you feel

so totally and wonderfully complete.

Happy 27th Birthday, Hunny !

Those words reflect how much I felt about you

Love you so much.

SURI

Princess is in da house !!!

After a whole month being separated, finally the princess is back. Yeay...it kills off the those lonely days without having someone to talk to...It sounds cheesy, but really, it feels so good to have her back. Now I can say so long and farewell to the terrible foods, cause I miss her cooking. On the other hand, guess I also have to say farewell to all my games, since logically, I have to spend more time with her than my Wii rite??? But, I think we can still play that Mario Bros altogether....

So, what's in the queuing line? Well, we've finished Julie and Julia yesterday, and later on tonight, we'll catch Fantastic Mr. Fox, and maybe 500 Days of Summer when we get home. The TV series are waiting, from Lie To Me, Mentalist, How I Met Your Mother, and CSI. What else?? Oh yeah, definitely she will go shopping at some time. Last but not least, we're gonna decorate the Christmas Tree, which she strictly told me not to do it when she's not around. She even brought some more ornaments and dolls to be put on doors. Wow, guess she really likes Christmas....

Oh well, time go home! Nasi Goreng for lunch!

Mr. Fox is truly fantastic !!!

Animation doesn't have to be a full 3D computerized movie after all, old school traditional ones (stop-motion technique) often produce a better final product. In this case, some examples such as Nightmare Before Christmas, Wallace & Gromit, and lastly Coraline have just put the animation standard not just to enhance your visual, but also the story and family value. And Fantastic Mr. Fox just shows us a perfect example and brings message to all non-Pixar studios, that their movies look kinda dull.

Fantastic Mr. Fox, directed by Wes Anderson, is based on children story by the same name, created by Roald Dahl, the same guy who brought us Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The good thing, this movie is not only perfect for kids, but also for adults and older audiences, which makes this one a perfect family movie. The story is focusing on Mr. Fox himself, voice-casted perfectly by George Clooney, who has just started to live a stable and normal life with Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) and his son, Ash (Jason Schwartzman), since as we all know what a fox usually do, right? Mr. Fox made a promise to Mrs. Fox on the day they were trapped together, that he would give up stealing chickens and turkeys if they managed to escape. Fast forward 2 years human time (that's about 12 years of fox), it seems that old habits just don't die, do they? Apart from buying a new tree for their house instead living in a hole, Mr. Fox is planning to do a final heist with his pal, to steal from 3 farms where each of them is owned by different psychotic owner. But then, things don't run smoothly after all, since his actions has brought catastrophic consequences not just for his family, but also other animals.

From the opening scene, Fantastic Mr. Fox has just delivered its colorful yet gorgeous rural scenic of the farm, with trees and the river. And after a short while, we've been introduced with the main cast, and it didn't take long for us to start smiling and laughing with their attitudes. The visual is just perfect, the stop motion was nicely crafted, and suddenly this old-school animation just brings you new experience with rich details and plenty of unique characters. The story is pretty straight forward, no headache, but it's not childish nor cheesy, most of the issues happen in the real life. You kids can just bring your mum and dad to enjoy this one, without have to worry they will fall asleep along the way. Although it is aimed for kids, I guess this is one of the most adult theme for an animation movie (apart from Coraline though). Nevertheless, watching this is pure delight!

George Clooney is a perfect cast for Mr. Fox. It seems like this character is Clooney himself, blended perfectly to bring Mr. Fox into life. All the jokes and charisma is there, and you always feel his optimism in every problems he faces. On the other hand, Bill Murray is also really funny as Badger, and his funny debate with Mr. Fox is hilarious as hell. Man, they should work together again some time, the chemistry is there alright. Meryl Streep, as always, never disappoint you, and Schwartzman played Ash really well as easily moody-jealous son. For the rest, we are entertained with the stars like Michael Gambon, Owen Wilson, and Willem Dafoe. Overall, it's a perfect ensemble cast.

I must say, I was quite skeptical to see this flick, but it pays well in the end, way above my expectation. In a away, it's a smartly paced adaptation, perhaps Mr. Fox is appealing ever more to an older audience and a younger one. I felt like, I don't want to watch the movie, instead I want climb inside and play.

No Air Con? No Problem...yet

Last week, my air con had a major break down, since it didn't blew cold air. I asked the air con guy to fix it, and it only lasted for a night, because the night after, the same problem occurred. They told me that there must be a leaking problem, which required a pressure test, where I can't turn on the air con for two days, waiting for the test result to see where's the problem. Bottom line, for the past week, I slept without air con. At the beginning, I felt that it was gonna be a nightmare, since I rarely slept without air con. Yeah, I'm as guilty as those people who generate CO2 emission and causing global warming, I assumed. Just like any other urban dwellers, especially who live in tropical climate, air con has become the main thing you must have inside your house, well, apart from your fridge, I guess.

But to my surprise, the first morning I woke up without the air con, I felt so....refreshed, I mean I woke up early, around 7, and it felt damn to good to open your eyes and wake up. Believe me, this thing has never happened to me before. Usually, I just open up my eyes, and hoping I can stay all day in the bed. It's been a week now, and I always feel the same thing. Then, when I bring this thing for a discussion with my colleagues, they told me there has been a research on this thing.

Now, I'm not an expert on this, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'll try to explain this. Well, the easy scientific explanation is that if you are not using air con, means that the air circulation will be much better, where the you will always be supplied with fresh air. On the other hand, if you are using air con, basically it only circulates the air from the room, without any chance to introduce fresh air. Means to say, you will only get more CO2 supply, from your breath, and get cooled up, and you'll breath them again. And FYI, C02 makes you feel sleepy, and it's bad for you. Believe it or not, that's why on Yoga practice, the deep breathing exercise is very very good, because too much C02 can make you feel light-headed, sleep, and make it difficult to think clearly.

BUT, not all of us can experience a good sleep without air con, don't u agree? It's very fortunate for me that for the last few weeks, it's been raining hard, almost every day. Well, to some extent, it dropped down the temperature during the day, and during the night, the air are quite breezy, which is good. Other thing, I live on 20th floor, so basically, no mosquitoes, no insects, no car noises and horns, etc. Well, I simply cannot sleep back in Jakarta without air con, cause the air will be so stuffy, and I will busy scratching my whole body thanks to the mosquitoes bites.

My point being is, if the condition (your place and the current weather) is supportive enough, do try once in a while to sleep without air con, or perhaps just turn on the fan. It's good for your health and mind, I supposed.

Need You Now

Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause
I can’t fight it any more
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn’t come
But I lost all control and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey
Can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time

It’s a quarter after one
I’m a little drunk
And I need you now
Said I wouldn’t call
But I lost all control and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now

Yes I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It’s a quarter after one
I’m all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn’t call
But I’m a little drunk and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby I need you now

Need You Now - The funniest videos are a click away

When they tell you not to panic... that's when you run!

Roland Emmerich is back, bigger, and with more carnage. After destroying earth with aliens (Independence Day) and global warming + climate change (The Day After Tomorrow), I supposed 2012 should be the final of the Emmerich's "I HATE EARTH" trilogy, cause this is the most destructive one compared with the first two. Now, he uses the earth's axis shifting which is caused by the huge explosion at the sun surface, which triggers the catastrophic sequence, started with a dramatic increase in Earth's temperature. Consequently, the earth prepares itself to stabilize the condition, which brings us to the end of the world. So, we're introduced with the main casts, a geologist/scientist (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and a family with divorced parents (John Cusack and Amanda Peet), and don't forget, the U.S President (in black, played by Danny Glover). All these people are trapped in the horrific situation where in the end the met by chance to help each other.

Well, at least it's not our fault the earth collapsed.

Be warned, in order to enjoy the movie, don't forget to "leave the brain at the door", and don't take this seriously, it might frustrates you. As much as Emmerich wants to convince us with his script (yes, he wrote this thing), it's a no brainer after all, and it's kinda difficult to swallow that all the events in the movie will actually happen. And not just the disaster, but also how the people's behavior regarding the saving the human race.

Overall, the movie comprises 4 parts, started with building the tension and gave us some background story and introducing the main casts (which is really boring), then the L.A destruction, continued with the escape, and surviving. It's a one linear story, easy to comprehend yet quite depressing, especially when it runs for 150 minutes. The L.A destruction I must say is the highest point in the movie, and the afterwards events simply cannot top that one. I felt like after we watch the earth's rampage, and people try to save their butts, how will it end? I had major disappointment with "The Day After Tomorrow" and "War of The World", because the ending were so bad, that left me with harsh review. But in this case, 2012 provided us with satisfying one, where it began with disaster, and cheesy enough, it ended with togetherness and human spirit. Well, again, no brainer, but better than nothing.

But to be frank, it's not about the story and the actors' performances, it's all about the destructions! I believe it is where all the money goes. We all can hail Emmerich as the king of 'destroying' earth. Just like all his previous disaster movies, the visual effect and the CGI scenes are so damn good and convincing, or even have so much details in it, and I must even say it's the best and the biggest of its kind. It's like a show case of destroying big cities in a way which you've never imagined, just name one, and big chance you'll get it (apart from New York, cause it has been destroyed for too many times). If you pay to see all these events, well, you'll get them, way above your expectations.

The '1 billion euros' plot is also an intriguing part of the story, since it is really harsh, but it's fat chance that only the rich people and big names can save themselves. The drama between father and son is always a good choice to drop your tears out, but if it is used over and over, you may get tired of it (hell yes, in my case). Also, I didn't like how they kill off one of the character near the end, I think it was unnecessary, and they should give him a break after what he's been through. From all the cast member, I only see Chiweter Ejiofor as the stand out one. He played so well, and I believe he deserves to get another main role in other movies. While John Cusack was overused as the 'superhero', Amanda Peet didn't deliver that much, and Oliver Platt gave us a good one, as the antagonist politician. The rest are okay, and they were some terrible ones e.g all the damn Russians (except the pilot), and Woody Harrelson's character, a radio host which is so damn annoying. And what the hell with the Arnie's impersonation, with terrible accent??? Another thing, I still wondering whether Emmerich hates Christianity as well, since he destroyed the Vatican and Rio's Jesus giant statue. I mean, why Hollywood always makes something out of Christianity?

Overall, with a decent story + decent cast + HUGE visual effect, it turns out to be a good one. It's definitely not an Oscar worthy, so don't expect too much. Just enjoy it the biggest disaster movie you can get. 2012 ultimately becomes an exercise in repetition and tedium. But, considering the subject matter, that's quite an accomplishment.

Welcoming Richie + Rexton

This year, for me and most of people in their late 20s, the word "marriage" has topped the chart of being the most discussed topic. For instance, every time Suri meets her friends, 80% of the chattering is all about marriage preparations, all the excitements and choosing vendors, and not to mention, lack of budget including the stress !!!!. It's like a never ending topic until you get married yourself (I'm really looking forward into it!). Then, on the 2nd place on the chart, I believe the word "babies" has become another big hit to be discussed.

The main focus --> toys !!!!!

I'm very very happy to see two of my best friends have just added new family members. For Davin and Indah, congrats for the new baby born, little Richie. It was a surprise news for me, especially when Davin gave me the message, since we didn't expect it for at least another 3 weeks or so. Nevertheless, we're happy for them, and we've been sharing a lot about the pregnancy, all the preparations and the anxiety. We haven't meet them again since we visited them at the hospital, and yes, we're looking forward to hangout with the little one! Hopefully when you're big enough, we can have Botak Jones or playing Wii together!!!

a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e

Now, onto the next one, Rexton. It was only last year, in December to be precise, when I became one of the best men for Andre+Tessa's wedding. Fast forward 10 months later, we got Rexton already! Man, they don't waste any time, I presume. Rex, you should be grateful to have a wonderful parents (also worth mentioning, crazy and silly ones). I'm sure you'll have fun hanging out with them and their friends (me included). The picture of him wearing white-blue stripes shirt and holding a teddy bear was beyond words. He's just so damn cute! I ask Andre, if his face looks like her mum, and the nose are definitely yours, what kind of guy will he be later on? A simple answer from a crazy guy, "He's gonna be like me, for sure...cool, wise, and grown-up". Ergh, you can be the judge on that one, I guess?

It's gonna be Christmas soon, and I'm sure it's gonna be a memorable one for these two couples with their lovely ones. Happy for all of you. Welcome to the club, Richie + Rexton !!! This is gonna get bigger and bigger. Yes, I'm anxious also to have one myself, but still, we have to follow the procedures, right??? I'm saving it for 2011, so maybe on that year, I hope these guys will be in the process on making the 2nd one =)

PS: Cool, Wise, Grown-Up...c'mon Dre, really????
