DAVID BECKHAM AND NICKY BYRNE

Nicky Byrne

      I was searching the web for some David Beckham wallpapers and I come accross this article at http://getshirtless.org/archives/2008/09/nicky-byrne/:
         
      Westlife is one of the finest exports from Ireland to the world and despite the downfall of many new and returning boybands trying to get back to the charts, they still are going strong and extremely popular with the middle aged women who used to be tweens back in the 90s. The hottest member of Westlife for me is the one who can sing the least, Nicky Byrne. Does he even sing at all? You always have one or two of these guys in a group. Who cares. Nicky looks like David Beckham in some shots and the only thing that differentiate him and that hot manmeat is the frequency of shirtlessness.

           Maybe the band’s success is determined by how often they take off their shirt, which in this case the less they do, the higher the record sales. It should be the other way around!

        Of course I notice the physical similarity. Nicky Byrne is just like, what? My biggest crush ever. FYI, he can sing and as a matter of fact, he has that sweet, sexy and husky voice. You can't notice it before because Kian and him are doing the back-up vocals. But now that Brian has left the band, everybody has been singing solo parts and I can say that Nicky is doing good and he is now more confident singing solos. 

         I was in 6th Grade when Westlife came out and everybody knows how crazy a teenage girl (almost teenager) can get over these boybands when they emerged in late 90's and early 2000. I bought almost every magazine that features him or the band. I have every single album that they released. I spent for every posters that I can find. I have everything! - wallet size photos, stickers, calendars, songbooks... everything. I know every words to all of their songs, I've seen and memorized their music videos and I know almost everything about him. I guess I can even write his biography. Uhm, maybe not. But that is just how crazy I am over Nicky.

David Beckham

         David Beckham, on the other hand is like the hottest athlete on Earth. He is on the top of my cheat list. He is just so hot I can't get enough of him. He's the very same reason I stumbled upon the article above. I  love how he and Victoria take care of their kids. It looks like they're very hands on when it comes to parenting. 

          So if you're a fan of both of them (Nicky and David), I believe you can notice their physical similarities too. And aside from that, both of them are married to a high-profile woman. That is Nicky being married to Georgina Ahern who is the daughter of once Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and David being married to Victoria of the once popular group Spice Girls. Both of them also play football, Nicky as a goalkeeper and David as midfielder. Both are now fathers, Nicky being a father to Rocco and Jay while David sired Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and a baby girl named Harper.
      
           Some of the physical similarities I've noticed are -- both are blonde, both have crooked teeth (which by the way looks so sexy), I think they fix their hair the same way, they're similar with the way they smile,  their eyes (I can't really tell how), shape of face, they're both manly with small voices (but it's alright, they say you can't have it all), they're both fashionistas in their own way.

          See for yourself... -C-

The Adjustment Bureau

The Adjustment Bureau is good. Though I was expecting for an action movie like The Bourne series. But it's really good. I shouldn't have listened to other people's opinion or read some lame reviews. It's a Matt Damon movie. It should be good. It must be good. Those reviews are far from what I saw.

BOURNE meets INCEPTION. The only Bourne I can say is Damon's name from both movies - David. Yes, he is Jason Bourne from the movie as we all know but his real name is David Webb if you really see and understand those three movies, you must recall that. In fact, you must know that. The love story can be a little similar but we know that Bourne focuses on his character, the assassin, while The Adjustment Bureau focuses on the love story, wholly and completely. Period. Next!

INCEPTION. One of the reasons why I didn't watch it on the big screen is because of that comparison. I don't want to see another Inception. It's just too heavy. Hereafter is already heavy and slow so forgive me. I don't want to go home and nurse a headache. It turned out, the movie critic is talking about those mind-boggling books and doors and men in suit and hat. Uhm, okay, that's kind of Inception... but no, not really. That's not really mind-boggling. They all represent something or someone in everybody's lives. It won't require a lot of thinking from the people watching to realize. It's not too complicated to discuss over a cup of coffee after watching the movie. It's not too vague to start a debate. Some people are trying to influence us in making decisions but in the end, it's us who decide for ourselves. Plain and simple.

Another review was that it is full of concept but lacks thrill. One point I agree, full of concept. But lacks thrill? I don't think so. I was so into it since the movie started. I didn't lose interest even for just a second. The Movie critic might be waiting for an action kind of thrill. But The Adjustment Bureau is not an action film so don't look for something that is not there. Don't search for something in a place where you know you won't find it. Though I must say that the trailer make it looked like an action-packed film. But then again, the concept and the story is so good that you won't be looking for explosions, helter-skelter car racing, long fight scenes, dead and bleeding people, gun shots, more gun shots... these things wont be necessary.

This is what I will say. Thumbs up Matt Damon! -C-

ALWAYS ABOUT HER

It really pisses me off to be with someone who thinks that the world revolves around her - everyone's attention should be on her; everybody must notice her; everybody should hear everything that she says; everybody should see what is going on with her; everybody must know how she feels; everybody should be looking at her; every guy must like her. ALWAYS ABOUT HER. The worst part is, she happens to be your friend. -C-
