Angelina's Movie-o-Meter HORRIBLE VERY BAD BAD OK GOOD GREAT EXCELLENT Julia Roberts is likeable, cute as a button as usual. Parts of the movie drag a bit. Disappointing that the better parts of India weren't as highlighted as much as Bali and Italy. Cinematography was nice. It really is a journey of a person finding themself and Everyone will be able to relate to that and learn a lesson or two. Worth a watch... and I mean "a" watch. Watch it once, move on and you'll be good. Eat, Pray, Love = Good

I got a chance to ask a few questions and get some great insight into saying "sorry" and what it REALLY means to men and women. Do Women really know how to accept an apology? Take a listen.
Angelina's Movie-o-Meter HORRIBLE VERY BAD BAD OK GOOD GREAT EXCELLENT Expendables written, directed, and starring Sylvester Stallone along with a number of other bad ass Rockstars does not disappoint!! Witty, senseless humor with all the action a manly blockbuster craves. This movie proves that killing with a knife is under-rated and no matter how old you are or what gender you are, blowing up shit is cool!! It Is rated R for the blood, gore and cursing but no nudity....... Sly, Terminator, Willis and Rourke's tush not as firm as it use to be, you know? Expendables = GREAT
We aren't talking about jelly beans ... no, we are discussing potential wedding gown colours for our favourite Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif. The superstar has already told the media she would like to get married in 2012 despite the fact she currently is single. Now she has mentioned that she would like to wear green to her wedding. The star just has a feeling that rocking green on her big day is the way to go.
This was all stated by Katrina at the inaugural India International Jewellery Week that showcased the Nakshatra bridal collection. Below is a snap of the famous Kaif walking the ramp in a lovely ruffled peach lengha.
This week's CyberBuzz is about the iPad and using it while on a trip or for business. My last trip was a mix of business and pleasure to New York City. I spent half a day trying to figure out if I want the iPad or not. Hung out at the Apple store near Chelsea most of the day and came home with no iPad ...so my clever friends gave me their version of the iPad.
Also take a listen to this week's CyberBuzz as heard on the Wake Up Call - every Tuesday and Saturday morning.
As heard this morning on the Wake Up Call with Kuljeet Kaila & DJ Deep

TOP 10 THINGS TO NEVER SAY TO YOUR BOSS
Number 10
“Impossible; that can't be done.”
This is just the kind of short-sighted thinking no boss wants to hear about. It suggests both a lack of effort and indifference. So, unless you follow it up with a solution or an alternative, it’s not terribly proactive or even helpful to say such a thing.
Number 9
“This is the best they could do, huh?”
Whether said in response to new office phones, computers or the banquet hall at a family-style restaurant rented for a Christmas party, this is one of those smart-ass comments that indicates to your boss, and to others, that you have a deluded sense of entitlement. It also belittles the efforts someone -- possibly your boss or even his boss -- has made.
Number 8
“That's not my problem.”
Be that as it may, this presupposes the existence of a problem and, more than likely, a frustrated boss or coworker in need of some assistance. At the very least, your boss is looking for someone to take responsibility of the solution to this problem -- even if it wasn't yours to begin with. That means he already knows it’s not your problem, so you can spare him the reminder.
Number 7
"That isn't in my job description.”
In one of the many great courtroom scenes in A Few Good Men, Tom Cruise asks a witness to point out where in the U.S. Marines manual the mess hall is indicated. Naturally it isn’t in there. The point is, a lot of things aren’t detailed in your job description, including e-mailing your friends from work or surfing the web, but you probably do those things anyways, right? So when the boss asks you to do something a little out of the ordinary, don't take offense and never say to your boss that it's not in your job description to do it.
Number 6
"Does it really matter if I get this finished?”
A strictly educational environment might promote the idea that there is no such thing as a dumb question, but this isn’t true at the office. To know the difference a good question to ask yourself is: "Will this question waste someone’s time?" No boss wants you to spend an hour doing a project incorrectly, but asking about the relevance of a certain question is time-wasting and insulting to both of you.
Number 5
“That's a no-brainer.”
As a tired-out cliché this statement is offensive enough; but delivered with just the right amount of patronizing tone, it becomes an insult. Your boss doesn’t hear "no-brainer" as much as he hears, “The answer is obvious; how dumb are you anyway?”
Number 4
“We should totally hook up on MySpace/Facebook.”
No, you shouldn’t. Ever. Your boss knows this and he might be a little disappointed that you don’t. Extending a request like this puts him in an uncomfortable position. He may be too nice to say no, or foolish enough to say yes. Either way, social interactions with your boss should, almost without question, be discouraged. We don't mean you can't mingle with him at office parties, but try not to plan weekend getaways with him and his family anytime soon.
Number 3
“I got so trashed last night…”
You might just be jawing over the prior evening, but to your boss this might be your hint that you plan to be especially unproductive that day. It might also remind him that you don’t have qualms about keeping work and private lives separate and that you don’t have much discretion at all. Therefore you can’t be trusted with additional responsibilities.
Number 2
"I don't get paid enough for this.”
Ninety-nine percent of the time you’ll be wrong when you say this. Furthermore, such a statement packs so many ready-made responses. Most potent among them might be, “Then quit, and fulfil your great untapped potential elsewhere.” All told, this kind of statement serves no other purpose but to b*tch and complain -- which you do not want to do in front of, to or around your boss. Save it for people who might actually think you’re right, like your mother.
Number 1
“Sigh!”
The passive aggression and frustrating ambiguity of a sigh are what land it at the No. 1 spot. It can be delivered in response to the full range of requests from your boss, and it seems sufficiently open to interpretation to allow you to deny even having sighed at all.
But this is as true to you as it is absurd to your boss. We all know very well what a sigh means; it’s the official theme song of being annoyed, and the national anthem of imposition.
Think before you speak
The one overriding and evident motif running through all the entries is this: These top 10 things to never say to your boss damage your professional persona by creating the perception that you have an uncooperative attitude. Many of them, if not all of them, can be avoided by taking a positive attitude with you to work and really taking a moment to consider what you're going to say before you actually say it.

HORRIBLE VERY BAD BAD OK GOOD GREAT EXCELLENT
First of all the movie is definitely geared to men. Don't have a problem with that.... Hangover was Great! But some were comparing Hot-Tub to Hangover...it doesn't come close. Be happy that you did not waste ur money and see it in the theaters. And if you never ever see the movie you're not missing a thing only the anticipation of an arm falling off!
Hot-Tub Time Machine = Very Bad
Feeling like you're in Kolkata because of this humid weather, don't worry you are not alone! My hair is having a major fit these days and it seems no matter how many times I run the straightner through it, I still end up looking like a character from Fraggle Rock.
Although it is very annoying, I continue to FIGHT THE FRIZZ!
If you wish to take on this battle with me then follow these steps!
Use a deep moisturizing shampoo
Condition your hair every time you wash your hair.
Once a week-Rub coconut oil into your scalp and hair ( Just ask your mother about this one, she probably swears by it)
Apply an anti frizz pomade or smoothing serum on damp hair. My favourite is the Garneir Frucis Sleek and Shine Weightless Anti Frizz Serum
Use a wide tooth comb-tight bristles add extra volume
Ditch the blow dryer! Letting your hair air dry during humid weather will tame the frizz.
Your new favourite addition to your purse- A mini straightner = frizz fighting on the go! :)
And lastly, if none of this works, well you know what they say, if you can't fight them, join them. Embrace the curls, kinks, flyaways and *sigh frizz. Au natural is still in right?

Happy B.C Day Long Weekend!!
There is a ton of fun stuff to do with family and friends this weekend if you are not headed out of this beautiful province.
Tonight the grand finale of the Celebration of Lights takes place at English Bay at 10 pm. It's China's turn to light up the sky with their "Butterfly Lovers Legend" theme show. Make sure you head down to either English Bay, Jerico Beach or Vanier Park early to get the best viewing.
It is Pride Week in Vancouver. The Pride Parade in Vancouver takes place Sunday on Davie and Denman and around the streets of Downtown Vancouver and it's always a blast!
A bunch of festivals are taking place this weekend too. Check out the Sun Festival in Tsawwassen this weekend at South Delta Rec Centre with a parade, antique fair, marketplace, BMX air show and more.
The Harmony Arts Festival happens in West Vancouver with 82 performances, a wine garden and more. You can call 604 925 7268 for more information.
If you are headed to Whistler, check out The Canadian National BBQ Championship. Sounds yummy! It's happening all weekend at 7pm.
Lots to choose from this weekend, so there no excuse to stay home and watch television! The weather will be beautiful too. On a side note, this weekend is the most dangerous on the roads so please DRIVE CAREFULLY wherever you are going.
Happy long weekend friends! Have fun! ;)

HORRIBLE VERY BAD BAD OK GOOD GREAT EXCELLENT
saw Salt last nite starring, Angelina Jolie
has elements of Kill Bill kick buttness. (although no one can touch a Quentin/Uma combo) Lots of over the top stunts, which were pretty cool. But most importantly you keep interested because by Gawd, there is a story line! and the plot keeps you guessing..... Worth watching in theaters.
Very Far on Good, almost Great....
