Monz List of Celebrities with Huge Transformations Part I

It's funny how time can make really huge changes to people even to celebrities who constantly take extra care to their physical appearance. The aging process can indeed make a lot of changes, some turned out good and some are not-so-good. Check out my list Celebrities with Huge Transformations.


1. First on my list is Jake Lloyd. Remember that kid who played as the young Anakin Skywalker in Starwars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace who effortlessly saved the day, winning pod races, dodging lasers, and all while spewing cutesy lines? Yes, that's him now. Maybe he can still throw some cute lines but I'm afraid it wouldn't be that effective as it used to be.

2. Another used-to-be-cute kid on the list is Macaulay Culkin. Funny how a quirkily cute kid like the Home Alone star Culkin has grown up to be a quirkily not-so-cute adult. Oh I heard it must be the pubescent nuptials and a few too many sleepovers at Neverland Ranch.

3. The used-to-be-hot babe Nikki Cox Mohr is an American actress known mostly for her roles on the television series Unhappily Ever After and Las Vegas. Once upon a time Nikki Cox went to the plastic surgeon and was like, “I’d like Restylane injections,” and the surgeon must have gone too proactive that he injected gallons of Restylane to Nikki's lips. On second thought, the photo must be a product of bad photoshop artist and not of bad surgeon. Otherwise, the poor boyfriend would really find it challenging kissing her lips. LOL


4. Before John Travolta starred as a funny fat lady in the musical movie Hairspray, our mothers know that he used to have that dashing debonair appeal.


5. Now who would have thought this Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere used to play a role as a funny looking nerd ala Ugly Betty? This one is a very good transformation though.

Team Building: Island Hopping

"I keep my friends as misers do their treasure, because, of all the things granted us by wisdom, none is greater or better than friendship." Pietro Aretino

Last Saturday, April 18, 2009 our team had finally held our Team Building - something that we've long been waiting for. Due to the majority's choice, our team decided to go for an Island Hopping and Snorkeling. I was very excited to go because I am such a beach-lover. Any activity that involves swimming, the beach, swimming pool, surfing, snorkeling, etc. Just name it - I'm always on the go.

So we were a team composed of 20 persons including our Team Lead (Immediate Supervisor).

At around 9:00 am, we arrived at Mactan Island.

From Mactan Island we had to ride on a boat to go to our 3 island destinations - Hilutungan, Pandanon and Nalusuan.

For a rental fee of Php 3,500, this boat can accomodate 20-30 persons.

Our first island destination was the Hilutungan Island. It is one of the islands in the Olango Reef which is protected by the government as fish sanctuary. This beautiful island is 20 to 30 minutes away from Mactan Island. It is known to be perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving due to abundant corals and tropical fishes. Within 3 to 7 meters you can have fun in feeding the fish, these tropical fishes are friendly that you can feed them with bread and swim together with you. During lowtide the opposite side of the island is bare at low between Olango Reef at knee below you can walk between 5 islands along the reef.

Sadly, there is an entrance fee once you land your feet on the island. So as "kuripot" as we are, we decided to just roam around the island. We stayed there for an hour.
While we were salivating at the sight of the island, the water surrounding it is just equally inviting that we couldn't help ourselves but indulge into the crystal-clear seawater.


Our second island destination was the Pandanon Island. This island is known for its boracay-like white sand. It is 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Maribago, Mactan Island.





This time we intended to land on the island as the beautiful seaview *especially the hot girls and guys* on the island was so irresistible. There's an entrance fee of Php 150 per person. Rental fees of the huts or cottages are ranging from Php 200 to Php 300 each depending on the size.

At around 2:30 pm, we decided to go back to our boat so that we can head ourselves to the next island destination, the Nalusuan Island. If you understand bisaya, you'd probably laugh at the island's name. Nalusuan is probably derived from a cebuano root word "luso" which means male sexual organ. Haha! Don't ask me. I have no idea why that island is having that name.

But then again, there's another entrance fee or landing fee which is Php 200 once you step your feet on that island so once again we decided to stay offshore and just watch the island from a distance.

But hey, don't be sad for us. We enjoyed ourselves by diving and snorkeling. Wheow! My favorite part of the day. Just beware of the jellyfish, they are so itchy! Also, don't forget to apply sunscreen on your skin if you don't wanna end up peeling off some skin the next day.

We were so proud of ourselves, we were swimming at 10-12 feet ocean deep. Hehe. Beat that! I had so much fun. At around 4:30 pm, we decided to go home.

On a sadder note, that would be our last team building together as a team because on May 18, we will be transferred to a different account with probably different set of team mates. Guys, I'm gonna miss you all. See yah around!

Unpredictable

Girls are very unpredictable. Maybe that's why they are often times associated with cats. Like cats, girls can be sweet now, mad later! Sometimes they enjoy being touched or stroked but sometimes they scratch you when you do that. Oh, typical girls are just so confusing.

Once again, girls are just so unpredictable. Just like the following girls below. Do you know what they all are doing ???

When You Can't Help, But Say It

Note: I am not a fan of foul language or cursing or trash talks and as much as possible I don't use them on my blog. (Hey, no offense to those bloggers that are fond of using those words. World peace!) It's just that, I want my site to be remembered as a LaGuardia-friendly este child-friendly site. In short, this site is for the general patronage. hehe. ;)

No matter how refined, religious or well-mannered you are, there are just instances that you can't help it but utter the "stinky" slash "foul" words like...

"Oh! Shit! Whattaf*k!"

Just when you thought it's time to flash your best close-up smile and ...

Just when you are about to grab a bite but you see Mickey in your favorite sandwich...

Just when you thought burrying yourself in the sand would be fun...

Just when you are about to celebrate for reaching the peak of the cliff...

Just when you're about to say "Thank God, the parachute works..."

Mahal ko si DOTA

Napag-isip isip ko na marahil masyadong malungkot ang tema ng aking huling dalawang blogpost at ayokong makahawa o magdulot ng malungkot na atmospera sa blogosphere. Paumanhin po kung ganun man. At paumanhin po kung mali-mali ang aking Tagalog ngayon. Gusto ko lang talaga subukan mag-post ng purong Tagalog lang, ng maiba naman. Bisaya po talaga ako. ;)

Nais ko pong ibahagi ang isang nakakatawang e-mail na natanggap ko mula sa isang kaibigan. Hindi po sya blogger kaya wala akong link na mailalagay.

Dahil ako po ay mahilig din sa larong DOTA, na-tuwa talaga ako ng matanggap ko ito.

DOTA Vs. GF

si DOTA isa lang sa mundo,
GF napakarami niyan.
si GF iiwan ka din niyan,
si DOTA hindi.
si GF nagagalit pagnagdodota ka,
si DOTA hindi nagagalit pag nagGF ka.
si DOTA P20 lang masaya na,
si GF baka P200 hindi pa masaya.
pagnakakakita ka ng ibang Hero hndi nagagalit si DOTA,
pero pagnakakakita ka ng ibang babae nagagalit si GF.
si GF pag iniwan mo mahirap na balikan,
si DOTA pag iniwan mo, handa ka parin tanggapin.
Ano mas gusto mo DOTA o GF?
mag-isip ka na....

GIRLFRIEND: Bakit ang DOTA ba maroromansa ka?
DOTA: Bakit mabibigyan ka ba ng gf ng
tripleng sarap pag naka triple kill ka?
GIRLFRIEND: Bakit ang Dota ba kayang kompletuhin ang pagkatao ng isang lalake?
DOTA: Bakit kaya ba ng babae gawing GODLIKE ang isang lalake?

BUT they have 1 thing in common:
Yun ay lagi silang anjan pag me problema ka. Pag natalo ka sa pustahan sa dota cno magpapasaya sau GF dba? Pag nagkaproblema ka naman sa GF cno magpapasaya sau DOTA dba?

;)

Kaya sa lahat ng girls jan, feel free to comment. Peru wag nyo po ako awayin ha. Hindi po ako nagsulat nyan. ;)


Para sa mga hindi pa nakaka-alam kong ano ang DOTA ito po ay isang multi-player computer game. For more information, please click here:
