"Ogliest"

The sexiest couple in Hollywood broke up. I remember the time I was going gaga over Brad Pitt like the rest of Womankind. Those dimples, washboard abs and the blondie unkempt long hair in Legends of the Fall. Imagine, watched it alone and even bought a huge poster of the movie (where is that now?) and A River Runs Through It which bored me to tears.

Then there is Johnny Depp, the 2003 People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. Was it because of his eccentric roles and laidback lifestyle - or his mysterious effect that catapulted him to that title? Shirly used to have a thing for Johnny Depp, right, Girl? Speaking of Shirly's choice, Ewan's best friend (see, I did mentioned Ewan !) - Jude Law is the 2004 choice for the title. No doubt about that. He always play the "perfect man" role. Think Gattaca and Dickie Greenleaf of the Talented Mr. Ripley.

I bet, there are lots of lists about her/his sexiest people. And here are my choices...My 10 Ogliest.

The 5 who almost made it:
Jude Law - actor, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Gattaca, Sky Captain, Alfie
Chris Jackson - basketball player, Shell Turbo Chargers
Eric McCormack - tv actor, Will and Grace
Viggo Mortensen - actor, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Hidalgo
Aaron Crumbaugh - contestant, The Amazing Race 6

10.Richie Ticzon - He is Peter Pan. He speaks well. Aside from being Mr. Velvet Touch during his UAAP days, he has something between his ears. That makes him sexier.

9.Hugh Grant - An oldie. From Four Weddings to Notting Hill to Love Actually. The hair with a life of its own, the droopy eyes and the Brit accent, nakaka-"hay!" I first noticed him when he was accosted sa US with that issue kasama si Divine Brown. Hehehe! If you don't know what I am talking about, Google it.

8.Tom Welling - Young Clark Kent. Super boy. His eyes light up every time he smiles. The cape crusader who makes every teenage and tweenage girls swoon. Every other girl wishes that she is Lana Lang. He is definitely not Cheaper by the Dozen! I remember watching that movie. The first time he appeared on screen, you can literally hear the sighs of all those ladies in the movie house.

7.Brad Pitt - I find him the sexiest during his early days in Hollywood. The time when there were no ala-Troy rippling muscles yet, the boyish charm because of his dimples. Check him out sa Kalifornia, A River Runs Through It and Interview with the Vampire. And Thelma and Louise...he only had a cameo role but his abs made an impact.
6.Alexander Popov - The golden boy of swimming during the Atlanta Olympics. He made a splash because of his OR and WR in 50m freestyle. He used to be the fastest man on water, until Phelps, Thorpedo at Hoogie came into the picture.

5.Owen Wilson - Hansel in the flesh. The crooked nose makes the difference. To be honest, bro Luke looks much better but the way he speaks and the "dumb boy" look work for him. He speaks differently, like in a sing-song kind. That sounds appealing. Plus the fact na he co-wrote a number of scripts with Wes Anderson. Being friends with Ben Stiller is great.
4. Adam Garcia - He danced his way to my heart. The guy with the Latino looks and speaks like a true blue man from down under can dance, sing and act. Made a wave with his performance in the West End, tapdanced in Bootmen and the Sydney Olympics and ledge danced in Coyote Ugly.

3. Paul Bettany - Jennifer Connelly's husband. The ultra blond guy who was always Russel Crowe's sidekick. Saw him first as John Nash's imaginary friend sa A Beautiful Mind, got a glimpse of him as Heath Ledger's sidekick in A Knight's Tale and he aced to my list in that cutie romance movie Wimbledon. Kinda oldie like Hugh Grant but the bod..hmmm. His accent earns him extra points too.

2. Hugh Jackman - Wolverine never looked so yummy. If I were in US, I'd be the first one to line up for that off-Broadway play he starred. He made typing on a laptop sexy (think Swordfish), making french toast in breeches an eye feast (Kate and Leopold) and eating cornflakes a lovely sight (Someone Like You). I love his voice which is uber manly.

1. Marc Nelson - 6 packs. A reason to stay up late on Saturday nights. A mix of the chinese-lebanese-aussie and what-have-you blood has done wonders. His Oz english added to the appeal of this guy. When I saw him in Figaro a long time ago, I couldn't get my eyes off him. Man oh Man. And yeah, that famous Bench commercial in the hospital..hmmm.

I observed that I have a thing with guys with non American accent. It's either Brit or Brit-conquered. What about you, who's in your list?

He's Back

Maybe writing the initials in friendster was one of the signs that I will get a glimpse of him again. Or that Shirly, once in awhile, mentions him. Or that I got to see his former team mate last night (as if there is a connection). No matter what...all I can say is that... Richie's back!

My brother should have told me that he is back in the game. Playing, he is not. Assistant coaching he is. Am I going to retrace my steps back at the Big Dome? If time allows and a company available, I will! I've never been this excited. The last time was probably watching him play the last time in Araneta (and we didn;t even finish the game!). I always thought that when playing point guard doesn't work anymore, he can be a coach. He can communicate well. Shirl and Kathy can attest to that statement.
Not so long ago that he was that 2nd round 4th draft pick of Pepsi, played his heart out with Purefoods, almost clinch the title with Shell, showed his wares with CdO Nuggets at the MBA, experienced being a 3rd stringer with Alaska..went to oblivion for awhile and joined the grassroots basketball program with SMC. Now, he is back. It seems I still know something about him afterall.
"shadows grow so long before my eyes...
oohh baby, i love your way
everyday, yeah"

I Am Back

Hola! Quetal? After two long nights, 3 meals and several channel changes in Dreamcast...I am back to our old apartment in this side of Kyusi. I am back infront of this newly cleaned and dusted PC, pounding the keyboard like there is no tomorrow. I am back to the rat race (technically, I'll be reporting for work tomorrow). It is good to be back! Hope this will be a great year! As Shirly puts it..More showers with men! As I say it...More guys this two-oh-oh-five!
