She did? I thought she hasn't (and hopefully not) yet and has been only influenced and taught of their teachings. But her parents are staunch Caths so they would be furious (I think) if she converts.

I haven't heard an ABC speak Chinese for some time already. :sweat: Do you know how to write Chinese then, Grace? (btw, my neighbour's name is also Grace, lol)

my 2 cents on wierd a$$ cruise (and also off topic):
yahoo news wrote:Cruise Caught in Sonogram Squabble

Meanwhile, Cruise and Holmes have been taking a break from their at-home ultrasound project while spending time in Shanghai, where Cruise has been filming scenes for Mission: Impossible 3.

At a press roundup Wednesday, Cruise grabbed a cell phone from a reporter who dared to take a call during the event and began chatting to the surprised party at the other end.

"Put her on the phone. I want to talk to her," Cruise demanded, asking to talk to the female caller, whom he presumed to be the reporter's girlfriend.

"Hello. Xiexie. Ni hao. Are you good?" said Cruise, throwing out the Chinese words for "thank you" and "hello" like a natural.

"Are you good? Are you working?" he asked. "Are you going to get engaged? Soon? Maybe?"

After a translator stepped in to assist, it was revealed that the caller was actually the reporter's wife.

"Tell her I wish her happiness," Cruise said.


And Tom Cruise wants to irradiate his baby!!

First the American Psychiatric Association slammed the actor for referring to psychiatry as a "pseudoscience," calling Cruise's remarks "irresponsible." Now the American College of Radiology is up in arms over Cruise's admission that he purchased a sonogram machine and uses it to perform at-home ultrasounds on fiancee
Katie Holmes...

"I bought a sonogram machine," Cruise told Walters during the interview, which was taped Oct. 30. "I am going to donate it to a hospital when we are done."

Somewhat startled, Walters replied, "Wait, you are going to do your own sonogram?"

"Yes," Cruise replied, chuckling.

The couch-jumping thesp told Walters that he did not know the sex of his offspring, but that he saw "a little baby" when he performed the ultrasound.

Cruise's purchase is estimated to have set him back anywhere from $15,000 to $200,000. However, the ACR is not convinced that the War of the Worlds star fully understands the complexities of the device.

"The ACR is concerned that Tom Cruise has been badly advised regarding the use and potential abuse of ultrasound," Dr. Rumack stated. "There are many abnormalities that may be missed by the untrained eye. Also, if it is not medically necessary, the use of ultrasound raises unnecessary physical risk to the fetus."


Oh, by the way, i'm from hong kong. (Trying to get this train back on topic... :mrgreen: )

I beg to disagree. Crack is not strong enough to make Tom behave like that. Must be something stronger. :hehe: :mwahaha:

I was born in Girona (Spain), near Barcelona, but I was adopted and don't know exactly which are my origins. I don't look like a spanish girl (you know... short, with dark hair, brown eyes...), but, on the contrary, I'm tall, slim, with fair hair and blue eyes. Demo... I'd prefer to be japanese... :doh:
