Mr. & Mrs. Smith's Baby etcetera...

It is confirmed that Angelina Jolie is pregnant and she is expected to give birth this summer. Now Brad Pitt is really fulfilling his dream to have a family. Apparently, he just adopted the Tomb Raider star's two kids , Maddox and Zahara. I'm sure there are thousand of broken hearted men and women with this news. On the other hand, the soon to be mom, Jolie still looks gorgeous ( as usual...).

I just learned the hardway not to wash wool clothing with hot water. The effect: My sweater shrunk fifty per cent. The size is now for a three year old kid! grrrrrr....

My favorite Stricker does it again!Arsenal at 7-0 against Middlesborough with a hatrick from Thierry Henri, header from Gilberto and Senderos and one for Pires. We weren't able to catch up with giant Chelsea but it the last game boosted our spirits up! hoooraaaay!

It's the start of the Australian Open and Venus Williams is already out thanks to newbie Bulgarian Tszvetana Pironkova. Dementieva is out as well.There goes the number 9 and 10 seed of the women. I'm still for Henin-Hardenne and Davenport.

I'm you know all about these, and I'm sure you guys are OK.

According to PEOPLE magazine: "Now she is creating a family in the context of an adult relationship."

See, I'm updated with the celebs gossip too, hehehe.

On Blogger: Sad to say, my recent comment has disappeared and now suddenly, the whole posts totally screwed up. I re-commented and it just asked me to login to DASHBOARD.; 1/16/2006 07:29:00 PM

Anonymous said...: LAUNDRY TIP
I use shampoo for my wool
soak in cold water
then let cold water run shaking gently the wool
after all froth gone
roll it nicely
squeeze the water gently lang
then take a huge towel
lay the pull over flat
then roll it like a dough
then once water is absorbed
lay it flat on towel

pwede na pang head housekeeper!; 1/17/2006 11:40:00 AM
Owen said...: i am so excited with the Australian Open as well! Go Davenport! Go Roddick!

Thanks for the Christmas eCard by the way! That was so sweet of you!

Happy new Year to you!; 1/17/2006 02:27:00 PM
duke said...: Talang Pula - Isay is right. Vince Vaughn is going out with Jennifer Aniston. Sucha smal world no? Brad Pitt and Vince Vaughn were together in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. :)

Isay - you're so funny! like me, updated sa hollywood chismis.. hihihi

I hated myself for not checking my laundry properly. Normally I separate the wools but this time, I just shoved every piece of clothing inside the machine. Patience is a virtue that I don't have!; 1/17/2006 06:25:00 PM
Analyse said...: i hope it's not your fave sweater...sha's procedure works...ako, i just avoid buying wool clothings, this procedure sure works hehe..

sobrang tawa ako sa BIR story, buti na lang pala sa govt ako nag start ng work, no hassle sa pagkuha ng TIN hehe..; 1/17/2006 06:29:00 PM
duke said...: sha I have an easier laundry tip. Next time, give all laundry to the hotel! :D

Owen WELCOME BACK!Happy New Year to you too!
I envy you coz you are in Australia right now and you could watch the Open live! I'm not yet decided which one to root for the men. If it's Roddick vs Federer in the finals, I go for the latter. Roddick never wins against Federer ;); 1/17/2006 06:29:00 PM
duke said...: Ana I only wore that sweater a couple of times and I loved it!Now I know better... sayang!

hehehe some people need to cross Calvary just to get a TIN! ;); 1/17/2006 07:02:00 PM
Jeruen said...: Oo nga! May baby sina Angelina and Brad. Siyempre, matagal naman akong Team Jolie eh, hindi Team Aniston.

Anyway, yup yup, never wash wool in warm water. Hindi mo na magiging kasukat iyan. And besides, hindi ba dry clean dapat ang wool?; 1/17/2006 08:19:00 PM
Dr. Emer said...: I also do not know about the wool and the hot water. TYhanks for the tip. Be careful with birdflu. Ingat lagi.; 1/17/2006 10:28:00 PM
Anonymous said...: condolence on your wool sweater, dearie. unfortunately i have no laundry tips, except for the universal one: don't ever put your new red sweater with your white load. i learned the hard (and pink) way as well.

-kala; 1/17/2006 10:50:00 PM
duke said...: LIW some wool requires dry clean.. depende on the percentage of the material. You just always need to check the tag for washing instructions :D; 1/18/2006 12:48:00 PM
duke said...: Doc E Thanks for the concern... We are actually thinking of stocking some Tamiflu in our medicine cabinet.; 1/18/2006 12:49:00 PM
duke said...: kala thank you. I also had some pink sweaters ( from pearly white). I discovered that some can be salvaged again by using bleach. Depends on the sweater though...

My oh my. I'm not a good housekeeper!; 1/18/2006 12:51:00 PM
Anonymous said...: i like angelina and brad together (hihi! first name basis kami?) oh, well, there goes my dream of becoming mother to brad's children...; 1/18/2006 02:21:00 PM
tintin said...: I keep thinking how Jennifer may be feeling. I hope she finds the love of her life soon.; 1/18/2006 06:39:00 PM
Anonymous said...: Duke, did someone said to you that you really really are a "nice person"?

Check it out on my recent entry. I got you tagged, it's what I meant. Although I know that you really are a NICE person. Thanks Princess.; 1/19/2006 10:23:00 PM
