A little thing called an Update

2012-01-18T19:40:00.000-08:00

Hisashiburi 「Haven't meet you all in a while」~~~
I hate to say this but I think I'm liking this place better than I used to like all my schools.
I don't fit in (when do I ever does?) and I don't care about that either now... I mean whoever does?
This post might be called in a bit late but the reason for this post is really to write down my vision (more like what I aim to accomplish by the end of June really) for this year. A new year resolution? Maybe. But I kind of made a pact with myself not to make anymore resolution because I never accomplish them. If I do it take more time than I have ever expected.

This year's vision:
- I want to work harder (Because if I do, I feel the little break I take in between means much more to me then)
- I want to be just like or even better than my Japanese friends (they are smart and they work harder to become better)
- I will not limit myself to what I know and will search for things myself.
- I will improve my language and also people skill somehow.
- I want to be independent and do not want to rely on people as much.
- I will be happier with more work load I have.
- I will fall in love with my work so it will never be a burden for me.

It all seem like it is related to work right? It is. I want to do this for myself now rather than wanting to prove to people that I can be anything that I say. If that's what I want, I am already what I visioned to be, I need to be better... I need to be able to satisfy my own self with what I do. Am I content with what I do? Yes. but barely, I feel like there is so much more that I can do. I feel like I need to compare with my peers here. They are very independent and very smart worker.

Let see. maybe I can achieve this soon or maybe it'll just be a dream... Who knows. Anyways...

That's all from me for now.

Back from a Thing Called Fitting in

2011-10-28T01:31:00.000-07:00

It's the worst part
but I'm happy that I'm here
now...

A New Flail

2011-08-11T22:20:00.000-07:00

Okay he's not really a new flail, but he is considered one of the new one, His name is Watanabe Reiya, part of Kyo-Otoko and was A part of DASH~! and RAVE.

He's cute and bitesize... the best thing is He's LEGAL

Ikemen Brothers

2011-08-06T08:35:00.000-07:00

These two really look like brothers separated at birth. Seriously Toma-kun is growing up looking almost exactly like Bunchan... Uwa uwa~~~ Their quirkiness and their face is undoubtedly similar... Now to the picture:

*faints~~~

Grandpa Johnny (or Avex or Whoever is responsible) Pisses Me Off

2011-07-21T13:07:00.000-07:00

Right now I'm to tired to elaborate on anything... and it's getting far too late...

One thing I can say is KISUMAI IS NOT MADE OF 3 SINGERS AND 4 BACK DANCERS~~! BRING BACK KISUMAI IN THE PRIDE OF THEIR OWN COLOR~~! Idiots...

Gomen for the language, I'm emotional~~~

[Rumor] Lana7Kira? (really grandpa?)

2011-07-18T04:03:00.000-07:00

Until there is a brown envelope, nothing is confirmed...
I read this while browsing about juniors and Yuma...

Rumor is
Another volleyball support team is going to debut around November 2011
And rumored members are:

Nakayama Yuma (Leader)

Nakajima Kento

Kikuchi Fuma

Kyomoto Taiga

Shigeoka Daiki

Tanaka Juri

Sato Shori

I know another debut this year is probably not impossible but it has a very low probability~~~ But does this group does have a huge resemblance to NEWS... Seriously Grandpa, this is the group that you want to debut? What will happen to their existing units? They are pretty great in their units, and they (this applies for Shigeoka Daiki only) are very close knit. Why break them up? Why not just debut the existing units, 7West and Hip Hop Jump are good units... Why just ignore them? Taiga tachi are not bad too... They would make a nice volleyball support unit...

I'd be glad if this group debut nonetheless since it has been years since Kanjani8 debuted and the chances are slim for the Kanju to debut, at least this group does have Yuma and Daiki... But seriosly, this group is just going to end up like NEWS. There would be some fans of the group and many more of individual fans...

Grandpa Johnny, please debut the Kanju too somewhere this decade...

Finally... The Wait is Over...

2011-07-09T06:16:00.000-07:00

I got it...
I got ACCEPTED...
Alhamdulillah...
Alhamdulillah...
Alhamdulillah...

All those painful wait, the hard days and even weeks of hard work was well worth it.
I'm accepted to my dream school.
I just got the results yesterday...
I got accepted in to Waseda as a Graduate student.
At the School of Advance Science and Engineering.
I'll be studying Biomedical Engineering in Mechanical concentration
Or as written on the application as Mechanical Engineering for Medical Field.
I'm so glad I got through.
There's so many people I owe to for getting in though...
Some of them are:
Obviously, my PARENTS... just for everything.
My teachers, Pn. Chia and Pn Jukiah, you're the person who thought me everything...
Secondary teachers for teaching me the basics...
My lecturers, my friends in schools and UNITEN.
My friends that I got from my practical studies, the people who together anything is possible, they taught me the being a lady does not necessarily being weak and scared. They taught me how does it feel to be hurt. They taught me to be stronger.
My friends whom I met through our similar interest, you guys were the place I threw every (well almost) everything at. The painful tears of final exams, the hurtful thing call friendship and everything in between.
Sincerely, Thank you all...

What next?
Before the study begins,
There's still tonnes of things to do.
Yet, I still have ample time and I still have many ways to do them.
Just work for the best and hopefully it works...

I'll leave you all with a Waseda Bear now...

Of Failing an Second Chances

2011-07-04T10:17:00.000-07:00

I'm not used to failing.
Either I'll fight for what I want, or I pull out before I fail.
I have yet to experiance the real pain of failing, but I know I failed my friends a lot.
I hurt them many times.
Somehow, some way someone is going to get hurt by my action and/or words.

Because of never failed, and giving up, the wait for something that I know I can either get or just forget after it's being announced, is painful and stressful for me. I want it so badly. I need it so badly.
I yearn to live on my own.
I want to learn to be on my own.
Make my own mistakes.
Choose my own path.
Not that I have never had that chances before, again, because I declined the chances.
Now 23 years (almost anyway) I holding on to the last straw that I have.
The last hope that I have.
To start anew.

I do hope this chance will be my second chance in life, hope and everything in between.

Of Debuting (continuation post)

2011-06-23T20:23:00.000-07:00

Finally~~~
After the great disaster hit Japan on March 11, the debut status of Kis-My-Ft2 (Kisumai from here on) became unclear. In my previous post I did talk about their debut and since then it became quiet. Wel, many things has happened since then. Good and sad news from Johnny's entertainment. Even sadder ones from the Western side of the company. But well life is life right.

Now finally, the proper debut date is announced to be on August 10. I'm super happy and I can't really react to the news really since I myself are still unsure about one small thing about my future... But once it's settled, I'd be celebrating in joy~~~

What a nice way to began a new life ne~~~

Anyways, to be directed to a more proper post, please clicky here...

Although my heart is flailing and joyous, I don't really feel like fangirling on the blog right now...

Old is Gold as They Say

2011-05-09T11:54:00.000-07:00

My Top 5 Men above 30 Years Old

Okay I was watching White Collar and before that I was watching a cross talk by 3 of Johnny's Leader (Nakai X Joshima X Sakamoto) and then I realized that I do have the hots for these hot Daddies... Huhuhu (Hey, Sakamoto-kun even though he is not married, he is 17 years older than me.)

Well they are actually more than 5 but these are those who are way up there...

Lets start with number 5 shall we...

5) Gerard Butler [November 13, 1969]

He's 41 and has a great body besides he was one of the best Phantom ever existed... I mean this man is almost perfect. Also his acting is fabulous...

4) Ian Somerhalder [December 8, 1978]

The man with the clear baby blue eyes just makes me melt... I mean just look at him. He's just, well, it's hard to describe what's amazing about him, he just is amazing. His eyes does posses the power of 'glamoring' even when he is not a vampire...

Now on to the top 3... Okay right now I'm a little Japanese biased, oh well what the hell this is my blog right...

3) Fukuyama Masaharu [February 6, 1969]

This one is really hard to explain. I first know him as a singer than I realized that he acts too. His deep voice is just perfect and his looks has a mixture of machoness and kindness. He just have the looks that makes you melt. And the mixture of his looks and voice is just love~~~

There is no number 2 really, since the top 2 are both number one. Let me put it this way, one is the east #1 and the other is the west #1.

The West #1 goes to...

1) Matt Bomer a.k.a Neal Caffrey. [October 11, 1977]

He's very cool, calm, collected, classy and cho kakkoi~~~ The hat, the statuesque body and the strong handsome face just adds to the goodness for the eyes. Even eye candy does not cut it for this hottie…

1) Sakamoto Masayuki a.k.a Ma-chan a.k.a Leader [July 24, 1971]

(He's special so he gets two pictures. Any problem with that?)

He's the new Zorro (read here and here), he won an award from Disney and his voice is just pleasing for the ears. There's so much flaw on him that makes him almost perfect. I can't describe him with words, but he is just so loveable. Okay, not in a pervertish kind of way, just loveable. His voice, his looks and he is almost fourty with a body of a mid-20's and he still does back flip. who does back flip after 35? (many people I know, but this one is special).

Okay I can go on and on about these men, but I'd rather keep it short and not look like a total stalker or a total fangirl.

Though, there are a whole other list of men who almost (giri-giri) made in the list only that these five beat them to it first.

The list of the almost fortunate are:-

Alex O'Loughlin [August 24, 1976]

The yummy Australian vampire turn detective in Hawaii Five-O

Jeffrey Dean Morgan [April 22, 1966]

He's the Winchester daddy. Do I need to elaborate more?

Javier Bardem [March 1, 1969]

He's the Spanish version not to mention younger version of Jeffery Dean Morgan.

Hugh Jackman [October 12, 1968]

He's Wolverine for crying out loud.

Daniel Henney [November 28, 1979]

Some how a smart doctor with attitude and money attracts me (I so sound like a materialistic girl). A smart, handsome and a sniff of cockiness attracts me. Besides, he's half Korean (oh, I'm not in the fandom) which makes him that much more handsome. Lalala...

Last but not least and the one who almost made the list in but lost by only about 0.009 points is~~~

Okada Junichi [November 18, 1980]

A simple reason being, he's an Osaka man. He sings, he dance, he acts and he does a mean flips. Nuff said.

Ah~~~ Listing good looking men are hard work...

That all from me right now...

Of Flailing and Sadness

2011-05-04T05:06:00.000-07:00

The DVD player and the DVD must be curing me everytime I sleep late...
Again and again the same old show...
The same characters, the same songs...
The only difference is the volume...
The the televison speaker must love me though since I basically put it on low at all times since I usually watch at night.
What is this crazy girl talking about again?
I'm talking about Shounentachi ~Koushi Naki Rougoku~ (the clicky link leads to a review by me)

Yes I'm nuts...
I do watch other things as well, but I watch this DVD the most in the past few weeks I have gotten them...
Is it good? Well to me it more than good, it's GREAT...
Not only it has a message, but it has some of my favorite boys featured in it...
And although I favor the Kanju (short for Kansai Juniors) version more, I do watch both Kanju and Juniors version equally (except for the showtime part. Juniors killed my favorite song...)

The sad thing is, one of my favorite in Kanju had resigned from Johnny's Entertainment recently and well cause quite a commotion (among the fans)...
Nakata Daichi is a boy with a lovely voice, he's a good speaker (he's Hina [Murakami Shingo] version 2.0 for crying out loud) and he is a well trained dancer, but after he resigned from Johnny's he turned his life upside down. The news just breaks my heart~~~
Daichi-kun... Why~~~?
I just hope that he will get his act together fast and not repeat his mistakes again...
Though the question remains, why did he quit?

Sigh~~~
Well, as a fan, all I can say is that, human beings makes mistakes, and this might be a big one, but I really hope that you will be okay soon. And your fans (at least me) miss your performance...
Although the news broke my heart, it reminds me that we are all humans after all... and life will not be on top all the time, but when it hits rock bottom, people will just either forget about you or ignore you...
And if Daichi-kun ever reads this (I doubt so), there are people who will always support you...

Of Debuting and Being Left Behind

2011-02-12T20:07:00.000-08:00

Ah~~~
I screamed my head off when I received the news that KiS-MY-FT2 (denotes as Kisumai) is going to debut in May... and I woke up with out a voice today~~~ lalala...

Not the point~~~
Am really glad for these boys to debut, but, I'm kind of sad because Kisumai, is never really Kisumai. They are really Ebikisu (ABC-Z + Kisumai).

What's going to happen to ABC-Z? Please please Johnny-sama, let ABC-Z debut as well~~~

It's kind of sad really... or even evil thinking that ABC-Z would be the back up dancer for Kisumai after this... Seriously though, ABC-Z too have the talent~~~ They even did a concert together before, to make them as a back up dacer for Kisumai just evil, Johnny-sama...

ABC-Z deserve to debut too, just as much as Yara-san does, but he never did debut~~~

Demo, no matter what, am still happy the boys of Kisumai is debuting... one more thing though, we (Fans of KAT-TUN/KaT-TUN) are so going to miss the stage s**capade that Koki and Kame abuses on Kisumai especially for Koki's Make U Wet Chapter 2... T.T

Night of Feasts

2010-09-12T12:51:00.000-07:00

I have eaten over my usual limit tonight...

I don't think I have ever eaten as much as I did just now...
and as a result, my tummy hurts like hell right now...

Anyways, my brain is looping this three songs over and over for almost a week now and I can't seem to get enough of it... The three songs are:
1) Watashi Kagami - Yasuda Shota
2) Mamoritai - Okura Tadayoshi
and
3) Desire - Shibutani Subarua and Yasuda Shota...

Yes, desire is the song i posted earlier and Yasuda Shota is the person in the post before this one...

Uwa uwa... I'm becoming a fangirl all of the sudden...

Japanese Craze

2010-09-12T06:29:00.000-07:00

Okay. It may sound nuts. Well it does sound nuts even to me. Recently I got to know about JPop and now I can't get enough of it. For some reason I just can't get them off my mind.

Especially this one guy:

He's Yasuda Shota of Kanjani8. Uwa uwa. He has infiltrated my head and my heart. Eto, although I may not be his number one fan, but he is my ichiban for the time being.

Matte, he my first ichiban. *Kya~~~*

That is all for the time being. I think I'll be updating some time really soon. =)

Reluctance, Responsibility, Sacrifice

2010-07-07T22:15:00.000-07:00

These are just few of the words that bears a strong meaning yet they are merely words. I now know a fraction of the meaning more than just the meaning that is being describe in the dictionary. These words are a burden, yet it is carried by all of us. Still... that's life....

A Week Without Voice Communications

2010-05-21T10:45:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love Taiwan. Especially Taipei. The place, the people and everything is so nice (would be nicer if I could go to the gardens or the mountains and such but the city itself is quite beautiful), though the things are a little more pricey than expected and the things are not that unique to begin with.

Okay this entry is not about the place or things that i have bought at all. All I wanted to say is that a week here without my phone line working properly and me not being able to contact (by that means hearing the voice of the other person) is making me super sensitive and super cranky... I miss Calhaun so much and much more than I have ever missed anyone else in my life.

This week really makes me review and mirror my feelings for this man and really makes me realize that i need him to sustain in a way that no one else had ever made me feel before. He makes me balanced and composed. It’s almost seems like he is the one having my feeling outburst and the hormone fluctuations in check and controlled.

I also never realized how hard it could be without him to guide me anymore. Hehehe... It does sounds a little childish and selfish and also clichéd but I do not care… I love this man and I am not going to keep it a secret no more. =)

Love,

Always and Forever,

Titleless Post

2010-05-11T10:26:00.001-07:00

I was searching for my things and as usual, I could not find it. Whenever I could not find my things, the first thing I would do is to clean up my room (yes people, my room is a mess, even I wonder how I can fit in the mess). So I did. I even reached under the bed. Then I found a medium black box. A box that I have not opened in ages.

As curious as I am, I’m a little ignorant these few days. As I said, I have not opened the box in ages, so I was curious why I did not open the box earlier. Now I know why. It’s the box of my memories with Vito. At the very top there was one piece of little note saying ‘Love you’ on one side and ‘Till death’ on the other side.

I have no idea why I am even writing this down, but I just felt the need to. I miss him very much. I could literally feel my heartbreaks and wounded for Cal, but I just can’t forget Vito. I keep missing him and remembering him these past few weeks. But the moment just passed was the epitome of the pain that I miss him. One little note meant as a joke once upon a time now is the hurtful memory that he existed and existed in my life.

There are times when I asked why him? Why was he taken a very young age? What did he done wrong? By writing and publishing this entry, I know I am bound to hurt someone. And I know I am going to hurt Cal. He’s here in the present. He’s here in my life now, what is wrong with me..?

Cloud Nine and Beyond

2010-04-11T10:36:00.000-07:00

For the longest time, I have been feeling the same feeling that I have loathe feeling. I was numb, I was angry at so many things at once that sometimes people and this that are not even involve were affected by me. I have bottled up for so long till you.

When you were beside me anything was possible. Even differential equation seemed simple. Words seemed to flow and music seems to be ringing in my head and I never again had nightmares. I was not numb, not too gay but just content. You kept me composed and kept me calm. You were there to comfort me when I was in trouble with my own emotions and you were there to keep me grounded when I’m soaring too far above my own self I could not even see the horse tail you used to tie for me (it was a French braid really).

But then you had to leave. You had to let go of me, of your studies and your family. Most importantly you gave back one thing that I thought I would never want back from you. My heart. It was kept so safe that not one scratch was on it. Not one dent and not even one particle of dust fell on it. Up until you handed it back to me and I let it go. That thing was in pieces and I thought it was unmendable.

I thought wrong. When you left you purposely let me to one other person that you trust most in your life. That one person you guarded from me, so that you could keep me for yourself and only yourself. But life and death was never in our hand was it. You planned it all. You knew that when he comes to me at the right time, he will make me feel again like what you had given to me.

I did not revert to what I was. I promised you I would not. One promise that I held on and still hold on to until this day. But when you left me, I was not angry or frustrated. I was not even sad. I was just empty. Just that. Empty.

That was until he came. He slowly made progress with me filling up and patching up the holes and cracks particle by particle, cell by cell, atom by atom. Patiently and very very very tolerantly. He never once complained about how fussy I was. I know that I am. You said that I was but not him. He just let me do and go with all my crazy quirks and eccentric habit as you used to call it. He would just smile shook his head and laugh at it.

He was not you. He was not trying to be you. He was not even trying to fill in your place and space in me. He was just making and creating on for himself to settle in with me. Yes he’s a little inexperience. He was younger than you are but still more experience than I am. Though we could not talk about Stephan Hawking and Casey Affleck like you and I used to, but me and him, we could talk about Ginsberg and Bellow and Jess Mariano.

He even though could not cook as well as you did, he just could find the right word to make me eat. Believe it or not. He can even make me eat even when I don’t want to. That is with fast food.

But I was not all happy and chirpy with me and him. Once again he chipped my heart. It was not once or twice. It was many many times. Those time I would just come home and cry to my pillow and remembered all those times I would hurt you. Those times that I would say hurtful things just to make you leave me alone when you would not.

I swear to you love, I didn’t mean to get clingy to him. I didn’t want to but I could not help it. I could not help but just to miss us. For a while, love meant nothing more than a four letter word to me. Just word that exist and has no meaning. For days I would try to get back to him. Nothing works. Eventually everything was getting better.

Then I met this girl. I didn’t know that it would hurt him and eventually me. She was nothing special. She was just eccentric like me. For a while she was almost like my best friend. We went almost everywhere together. We took compromising pictures just for the fun of it. He did not like it, but I did it anyways. Something that I regretted for doing because now I know that that was one thing that could drive him away from me permanently.

But like I said, every problems and hurdle me and him faced will eventually be dissolved. Me and him are fine now. He makes me feel like I’m soaring. He makes me feel like I’m flying at all moment. There are times his flight and mine lose power but he would just mend it back. He never let me on the ground if he was not there with me.

Having been on cloud nine for so long, sometimes I miss the ground. I miss just to feel again. Just to make me human like you used to make me feel. He’s not and will never be you. There are times I prefer him than you and there are times you than him. We are who we are. I know, but I just miss you right this moment. I am happy, I am grateful that he is with me, but I miss you.

My heart aches for you and I just miss you so much. I know he would not be angry or jealous or anything because you are not here and you cannot come to me anymore. I know I can never hurt or make him feel bad with this entry and with my words here but that just makes me miss you even more. I really am sorry to have post this if he is reading this. Or even his siblings or friends. I miss you. I just miss you so much.

I’m sorry.

Love,

Ieja

Ripped

2010-03-20T09:26:00.000-07:00

Forgive me to be a little emotional in this post... I don't expect for anyone to read this or even care to open this site really. I rarely keep up with my writing anymore these days for thinking there are more than just my fantasy filled head of friendship and human bond... It just sort of seemed that I am not capable of it.

Thinking back, maybe it was not my friend's fault for not being close to me, maybe it was never anyone else;s fault but mine alone for being so lonely. For that one person that has ever really know me inside out is gone. I miss him terribly and I miss him even more at this moment.

The only last bit of his memory is just gone. Gone as a result of my selfish recklessness. If only he would be reading this now, I am sure he would say something to make me smile. Never once I cried when i was with him. Never once had I felt alone, never once had i felt useless and worthless, but everything seemed so lost without him.
Vittorio, I beg for your forgiveness for letting the ring go. I just could not find it. Calhaun, I'm sorry if you are readng this and it hurts you as much as I am feeling ripped right now. I'm sorry for being such a terrible friend and girlfriend to you, both.

Friends, I am sure that I have said and do something wrong to all of you, I am sorry. I wished that you all should have never known me...

I really am not a football expert or even a football fanatic but it has been a ritual of mine and my dad’s that we have to watch the Super Bowl every year… That means even if we have to sacrifice our sleep and my classes sometimes. Hehehe… I do skip classes just for football. Never mind that…

This year might just be one of the best years for football nuts especially if you are from Louisiana. If I am not mistaken this would be the first in the Saints franchise to ever be in the Super Bowl, and the second one for the Indianapolis Colts (the Indiana version not the Baltimore version).

In my opinion, the Colts have more experience but Saints are just on fire this year… their determination and their need to win is just amazing. The odds of these two teams are equally balanced with the positive and the negatives of both teams. I do however think that the odds are slightly a little better on the Colts side but the game could still be in anyone’s field.

What do anyone who reads this blog thinks? Comment me… Who you’d think will be the champion of the Super Bowl 44???

A Little Chatter

2010-01-28T07:07:00.001-08:00

Hello my lovelies...

Yes I'm still ALIVE... Just being a little reserved...
Nothing much had been going on but work for me and books and a few movies. Other than that, Nada... I can be a pretty boring girl to be with (the point I'm writing here and not tell to my friend and having no one read this).

I'll tell more when I have time later though...

For now it's doozy time... Yeahhh!!!

Love,

Vampires and Hot Sultry boys... Yum yum yum...

2009-11-17T03:40:00.000-08:00

Tall, dark and brooding… Don’t they just make us mere mortal women get weak in the knees? The first Vampire I was introduced to was not that tall, he’s blond and definitely not brooding… He’s a freaking rock star. Uhh yes, my first blood sucker crush Spike a.k.a William “the Bloody” Pratt. Then there was Angel, Lestat, Louis and then there was too many to list down.

Okay that’s not the point of this post… the point of this post is really: Why is Edward Cullen is so damn famous as a vampire while he don’t even have the poise of one and Damon Salvatore is not… Got me? No? Good. Okay the real point is that I just want to put up some hot boys acting as vampire according to my scale… Friends, just don’t drool. It’s going to be hell fire hot with these lads. Here goes my ranking of 20 top sultry male vampire (individually and Edward is not number 1…) Bite me. Opps…

20) Godric (True Blood) – He’s sexy and all but he’s just a tad bit old. He is more than 2000 years old (makes you wonder does he know how to google?)

Godric played by Allan Hyde

19) Emmett Cullen (Twilight) – just not a fan. ‘Nuff said.

Emmett played by Kellan Lutz

18) Roderick 'Rod' Justin Farrell (Vampire Clan) - Not the best attempt, he was better off as Chris in Charmed

Rod played by Drew Fuller

17) Marius de Romanus (Queen of the Damned) - Umm...

Marius played by Vincent Perez

16) Angel (Angel) - Vampire with a soul... *sweet smiley face*

Angel played by David Borenaz

15) Bill Compton (True Blood)

Bill played by Stephen Moyer

14) Edward (Daybreakers)

Edward played by Ethan Hawke

13) Eric Northman (True Blood)

Eric played by Alexander Skarsgard

12) Dracula (Dracula 2000) - He's Gerard Butler... He sings, dance and apparently a Vampire... yum...

Dracula played by Gerard Butler

11) Josef Kostan (Moonlight) - He's rich.. muahaha

Josef played by Jason Dohring

10) Lestat De LionCourt (Interview with the Vampire)

Lestat played by Tom Cruise

9) Louis de Pointe du Lac (Interview with the Vampire)

Louis played by Brad Pitt

8) Vampire Armand (Interview with the Vampire)

Armand played by Antonio Banderas

7) Mick St. John (Moonlight) - A personal private investigator... *drools*

Mick played by Alex O’Loughlin

6) Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - What can I say... He's a rock star... and he writes poetry... (here's the part you all go awww..)

Spike played by James Marsters

5) Lestat De LionCourt (Queen of The Damned) - Irish, cool, rock star and yummy...

Lestat played by Stuart Townsend

4) Edward Cullen (Twilight) - it sort of felt wrong to leave him off...

Edward played by Robert Pattinson

2) Stefan Salvatore (Vampire Diaries) - Tall, dark and brooding... Oh baby, oh baby... turn me now... please, please.. I beg of you...

Stefan played by Paul Wesley

2) Jasper Hale (Twilight) - It just felt right for him to be here... army and all... ngeee...

Jasper played by Jackson Rathbone

1) Damon Salvatore (Vampire Diaries) - What else do you need when you have Damon? Heh... Ian marry me...

Damon played by Ian Somerhalder

Okay, tall, dark and brooding does work for a mysterious, blood sucking and glamering vampire. Okay now, I have to get back to being glamered or persuaded by these two blood sucking brothers… Damon’s mine so lay off… You can take Edward for all I care… Damon and Stefan’s mine… so back off…

Love,

Rejection

2009-09-13T11:21:00.000-07:00

Sometimes the feel of being unwanted glums the whole of your life as the rejections kept on hitting you.
But rejection, though it's hard, it teaches you to be patient.
To make you tougher.
And stronger of a person.
But at times rejection make you feel really down and too depressed to function...

Hi Silly

2009-09-10T20:19:00.001-07:00

I woke up today,
I saw your face,
In a glass tube filled with wires,
You made me smile first thing.

Hi Silly,
I miss you.
Where have you been,
Where did you go?

Hey Silly,
I love you.
Why haven’t you call,
Are you sick of me already?

Ouh Silly,
I know you’re busy,
I know things are hectic nowadays,
I’ll always be with you,
I’m always here for you.

No Silly,
I don’t love you that way,
You know how we are,
I just miss you a lot.

Bye Silly,
I hope to see you again soon,
I wish for the time between us could fly by,
Shall we meet again sometime,
I would just take you for selfish self.
I miss you dear…

Love,
-ieja-

it's funny how a person can change your perspective on life...
it's funnier that a person can actually make you believe in hope,
while you thought that all hope was gone...

And the GAME BEGINS!!!!

2009-09-07T08:34:00.000-07:00

And the game kicks off 10th September 2009(Thursday)!!! Fortunately for me it will fall on Friday morning here in Malaysia… Since I will not be having any classes on Friday, I am free to watch the game without any interference. WEEEEEEEEEEEEE……….

First game this year will be an AFC match between Tennessee Titans (AFC South) and Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC North) at Pittsburgh. Game will be shown on NBC on September 10, 2009at 8.30pm (2030 hours) EDT. I just can’t wait for the day to come…

vs.

Predictions… hurmmm… well I am no expert in football and I don’t watch much of it here in Malaysia, but I try to catch as many games as I could… in this game my personal favorite is Steelers… No offence but I just think Steelers have more confidence and determination than Titans… but in this sport, it could be anyone’s game. I did not watch the pre-season, so I can’t really say much can I… Hopefully my prediction is still right that Steelers still have the drive they had last year… and hopefully they will win this first match this season…

=)
Love,

Euphoric Feeling

2009-08-02T08:06:00.000-07:00

I don’t know why, but I always feel a little more joyous or less stress when I listen or write poetry... that is of course if the poem has something to do with me or somehow I can connect to the poem... People often change, especially when they are trying to find themselves... well I guess I am still trying to find who I am then...

For now, this is what I’m listening to:

Words

2009-07-10T11:42:00.000-07:00

Cheap words are so damn easy to utter,
So freaking easy to say,
Such hypocrites.
Such fraud.
Those words you said,
Didn’t you yourself do it too?
Wasn’t it you who wanted them?
Are they not YOUR friends?
Stop bickering about them.
Stop spilling bad fucks about them.
They are what you are too.
They are those who helped mould you.
What are these words for?
Emotions?
Or just words to fill the time?
Stupid!
Enough!
Stupid Hypocrites!

Dad

2009-06-21T00:04:00.000-07:00

Never had you ever said,
“I’m too tired”,
Never that you ever groan,
“I’m not well, go away”.

Never had you asked anything,
Never had you even screamed at me,
Not once you hit me,
Not once you beat us.

Never had I told you this,
Not once had I ever say,
“I love you, dad”.

- this might not be true to all fathers, but it's true for mine...
- happy father's day to all father..

Malay Cullens

2009-06-19T22:46:00.000-07:00

From

To

It was a very stressful yet happy day for me yesterday. Why? I let my heart out, I let my soul out and then ‘He’ came. I could not out myself to sleep till early morning. So what did I do? I re-read Twilight (for I lost count how many times I have read the book). It the back ground this song was playing. I’m crazy about this two songs right now, that I am listening to it almost every time I have the chance.

The picture of the Cullen boys instantly changed in my mind… I have no idea why. Maybe I have a little (because I’m obsessed with Warkah Terakhir and ‘Kamu’ ahaks.) but these are my Cullen boys…

The Cullens in the Twilight Movie

Malay Cullens

Azhan Rani as Carlisle Cullen

Beto Kusyairy as Edward Cullen

KhairilRidzuan a.k.a K'n as Jasper Hale

and

Fikhree Bakar as Emmett Cullen

What do you think? They are a little shorter than intended Cullens, and much more darker… ahahaha…

That’s about it…

Warkah Terakhir

2009-06-10T10:54:00.000-07:00

As many of my friends would know, I do not really watch Malaysian movies and mini-series. The reason being it’s too clichéd and predictable, until one TV series I watched and fell heart over knee over the art of one of the actor. The TV series being Merah Puteh, and the actor is none other than Karaoke famed Zahiril Adzim.

This post however is not at all about him or his art, not even his movies. But he was the reason I discovered about this epic mini-series. It’s called Warkah Terakhir (Rosli Dhoby). It’s a historical fiction with great artist who made it live.

Credits to hanjlin18 from YouTube

Names such as Beto Kusyairy, Azhan Rani, Amerul Affendi, KhairilRidzuan (and many more) practically unheard of actors (the actresses are quite well known) but they had done an excellent job portraying and representing the historical character. In my point of view, that is.

Let’s talk a little bit about the mini-series itself. Let me not bore you with the history of Sarawak and Rosli Dhoby, but basically Rosli Dhoby was one of the early nationalist of Malaysia. His name is not as big as many other nationalist but he gave up his life (He was around 16 at the time) for his country. Now, if there is one teen, who have a few (around 5-10%) of the heat, fire and spirit that this warrior had, it would be enough to ensure our independence. This story, not taking the love part of it (you have to have a little lovey dovey story to commercialize a story) had woken my heart and soul to see the life I have, the country that I am living in and the world today, saying how lucky I am to be here.

Back to the movie… these are the actors I mentioned earlier:

Beto Kusyairy

Azhan Rani

Amerul Affendi

KhairilRidzuan

As to this date, there are 3 episodes that have been aired on ASTRO Citra (Ch 131) and one episode that has been uploaded on YouTube. Here’s a clip from YouTube (my favorite scene in episode 1. Why? Because the actor I like is in it… muahahahaha…):

Actually I am writing this entry just to show the clip above and the music score. Because I love it… And beside Mr. Sexy Mole and Mr. Ciggie, these people had helped me find the root of who I am. Thank You all…

Tall, Dark & Angry

2009-06-07T01:01:00.000-07:00

Kept thinking of what mom said,
“Do not go out of state”,
Kept smiling at dad’s wisdom thought,
“Listen to your brain, think with your heart”.

Time had passed,
For the thought of how to fit in,
Time has flew,
For the crown to be prom queen.

Hello Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome,
How did you melt the heart of this ice princess?
How did you break the wall of stone surrounding me?
Too short of a time had passed when you went away,
Too little of a time we have spent had created the memories,
Why did you not tell me?
Why do you have to leave?
Why do you have to change me?
Why did you have to be so kind to me, when it was you that needed me?

Then came Mr. Blond Hair, Blue Eyes,
I told you to wait,
I told you to stay back,
Let me heal on my own,
Let me drown in this feeling of alone,
He had told you ,
“You can’t mend this broken China”,
Why do you have to open the bleeding wound?
Why can’t you just leave me alone?

Years later, I kept being pulled by the Tall, Dark Brooder,
Everything about you brings back the memories,
Every inch of you smell like strawberries,
Unlike the rest,
You don’t care if you’re a mess,
Unlike the rest,
You said, “the hell with the test!”.

Mr. Tall, Dark and Angry,
You showed me how to be merry,
You are not alone, silly!

-this is meant for a special some one... the one who stole my heart and never returned it, the one who broke it, and the one who made me find it again... the last one... that is to the guy who never accepted that he is wanted...

New Moon, New Beginning, New Hope

2009-06-05T06:40:00.000-07:00

Twilight was a real let down to many (not all but MANY) fans of Twilight saga by Stephanie Meyer. The first installment of Twilight was directed by Catherine Hardwicke, she is in my opinion is just an okay director, but not the best choice for this movie maybe.

New Moon however, is a different matter. Since Twilight, many of us fans (okay maybe just me) have a less expectation on the movie. Since the book is not as good as the first one, maybe the new director, Chris Weitz can make it better. All we can do now is wait and hope.

The trailer for New Moon is up in YouTube and from what I can tell this movie should be better cinematically but a trailer is only to show bits and pieces of the whole story usually taken from about 10 % of the whole movie. In this case, I guess they don’t really need to conceal the suspense since many readers already know the peak of the story from the book. I don’t know about movie goers, but the trailer looks a little boring. Enjoy anyway…

Sha, can we do a group watch like the Twilight launching again??? I missed that time… Missed you all…

Smitten

2009-06-04T11:49:00.001-07:00

It’s weird how I usually like the odd guy. It’s weird that I like things that are totally clashes with my personality. Now this blog will be just like my new one… about me… All bout me, but in English. Now that I am comfortable in writing in both languages, I think that I can sustain both language… just wait for my French blog… if ever I could get to that level of writing in French…

Anyways, I was saying about the person I like now. Well I’m smitten by him. Smitten in the sense that my voice is too shy to be projected in front of him. No voice at all. Do I have his picture? Yes. Did I capture it myself? Maybe. Was it intended? Should be. Anyways, this guy who at this point shall be unnamed, is not the typical guy I would choose, however, he is him.

Writing in this blog means, either I’m promoting something or sharing something I like… which in this case is both. Promoting comes first.

First, I would like to ask who would like to go to UrbanScape? I miss you all my friends, although I don’t know whether you even read this rubbish… Tickets are being sold at RM 25 a piece or RM 45 for a pair. For more information about this event, you can click here . Do inform me if you’re my friend and going especially if you are around Subang Jaya area… I miss you SMKSJ-ians…

Next, for you theater junkie like I am right now, there will be a show on June 13th till 21st at Istana Budaya called ‘Mana Setangginya’. More info you can go here or here.

Lastly is again about the film called Gadoh. The next screening will be held on the 12th of June at the same place (HELP University College). Do book your passes as I think there will be a bit of a crowd this time since the main actor (Mr. Zahiril Adzim) would probably show up this time around. Book your passes click here or email directly to gadohthemovie@gmail.com

I guess that would be all from me for now… and if I am not as lazy, I would be coming back in the afternoon or evening to update my poems and a little something about the guy who made me smitten… *smiles*

-ieja-

Smiles

2009-05-31T11:13:00.000-07:00

Smiles

A hundred miles apart makes me want you more,
A million smiles I missed make me want to see more,
But when your face right in front of mine no words my mouth can utter,
No feelings my emotion can deliver.

- Just a little update... more updates will be coming tomorrow...

Soccer (Barcelona WON!!!)

2009-05-27T14:04:00.000-07:00

I never liked soccer… however; my cousin was watching it so I joined in. Just to see, just to feel what is the hype about this game. The rush might not be as much as if you were watching basketball (maybe because I only watched it for the third time), the roughness is not as much of American football or rugby, but the anticipation and the time when the goal is scored… ouf, the feeling is amazing (especially if the winning team is the one you are supporting).

Okay, Barcelona WON! And I’m thrilled that I finally understands this game… =)

From what I see this game is by far one of the best games I’ve ever watched. Like I said I only watched football maybe five time at most… third full game though… great game by both team and great skills were shown… But fate and maybe more skill is on Barcelona’s side…

So yeay Barcelona… Glad I watched it… =)

A little update

2009-05-24T09:26:00.001-07:00

Other than a movie, I have not been sharing much lately, have I? Maybe I have but this are just not as interesting as it used to be. The simple reason being I was almost addicted to a game on Facebook called FarmTown. Thanks a lot Nadh… not blaming anyone or being sarcastic, but this game is quite addictive at the beginning but now, I’m beginning to feel bored… so I’ll stop playing now…

Other reason being, I was supposed to be writing but I have been postponing it for a few weeks and it end up crappy so I thought I would just forget about it… but I myself would not know since idea to me is like magick… it comes and it goes… maybe I could finish the three chapter tonight, if so I’ll send it but if not doesn’t matter anyway… just a simple fanfiction…

I have been writing a lot though but not much in English, why? I don’t know… well I do know but I’m a shamed of the reason… *blushes* Mr. Sexy Mole and his friend (not Mr. Ciggie though, he’s gone… far far away) has the impact on me… visit my other site http://iejabynks.blogspot.com and http://consortprincessofmonaco.blogspot.com to see the result of their impact. My style might not have changed but one thing for sure is that I think about other things and aspect as well now rather than concentrating my writing to myself.

I guess what I’m trying to get on here is really for you readers to read my poems and visit my other site as well (if you can read in Bahasa Malaysia). I guess that’s it from me for now…

Gadoh Screening

2009-05-22T08:53:00.001-07:00

At a glance, this movie seemed like any other. Typical Malaysian school drama.

Once it started though, we will then realize that this movie does not need to be fantastic, it does not need any special effects, no strings, no CGI. All it demands was great actors with skills. I would give a standing ovation to the casting director and directors for the casting… they were perfect. Sad though, for the pre-launch screening, not many turned up, but it was fully booked, I wonder why… I could guess but that might just be my guess.

Okay, review starts here

This movie starts off with the teachers FIGHTING to come up with a solution for the rascals in the school. These are teachers, people who are supposed to set an example to these kids. Eventually, a teacher came up with an idea of a theater club. A club that at first all other teachers thought would not hold a chance to even work.

What did these rascals do? FIGHT. What else? Fight over what? Racism? Needs? Extortion? No, against themselves for no other reason but the rage and the hatred that had been given to them since they were little kids. The ideology of being a Malay and Chinese by their parents and caregivers. Not to blame the elders, but these things that the parents in this movie said should not be said to kids, especially to young children. Why must they cultivate these future leaders of the world with hate other races, other religion, other skin color?

The school system, it’s true that we were not given the freedom to choose our path in school, but that is what schools do. To teach. To make us understand and to make us know things we do not like and things that some of us might even being to love. School is not that bad, the system is not that be (could be improved but its fine), the bad thing is how we as students receive and perceive these knowledge. As students, as Malaysians, as human beings we cannot just blame other people for what we don’t know, and don’t like. We have to learn to accept our similarities and differences.

At the end of the movie, a theater production was done. It was moving, enough to explain why these rascals were fighting. What they wanted to tell. They don’t want to be blamed any more they don’t want to be burdened by the racial status anymore. All they wanted was to be successful. It also shows that one wrong move does not have to be all bad. But not everyone can accept it either. That one move can either destroy a person, but it could also make that person to a better human. It all comes back to that person.

Over all, all I can say is that this film has a very high educational value and I would give four out of five stars (4/5) for the rating of this movie.

Anyways, I have fun watching attending this movie. If you could catch this movie, you should… There will be another screening at HELP University on June 5th. To those did not have the chance to watch it today, catch it on June 5th.

Good job to the entire cast and crew of GADOH!

Enjoy these pictures… :)

GoodBye World

2009-05-09T11:27:00.000-07:00

Sometimes the most trivial thing seems very important to some. Two things that I really wanted in my life is a brother and a friend who actually give a damn. Everyone have secrets, everyone have dreams but not everyone get to achieve them, not everyone get to taste them…

Something for Your Ears

2009-05-08T09:29:00.000-07:00

I listen to these two songs over and over today. I don’t know why but it felt as if it tells the story my heart wants to tell the world. These songs are dedicated to a special someone… you know who you are… to others, enjoy…

Writer's Block

2009-05-07T08:33:00.000-07:00

One thing I love about holidays is that I can have all the time in the world to write. Yet, I could not. Somehow I could not produce a writing matching the ones I did when I am in school or am busy with something else. It almost feels like my brain is constantly in a jam when I am on holidays. It just would not work with my hands…

Oh, brains… please let me produce something usable. Something readable and something that I can win others… oh hands please work your ways through these used boards of letters so that you can do something other than doing all other destruction.

When all others would not work,
All I do is cry.
When all others ignore me,
All I do is cry.
My tears screamed to be let in.
My tears screamed to be kept.
Yet all of it is wasted.
Yet all of it is washed away.
My brains screamed to be free,
My hands beseeched to be with the keys.
Yet my heart is reluctant to just let them win,
My heart is to in shambles to have a lovely thought to put on papers,
My heart is to broken in its own way to let all others win,
Yet my heart wants nothing more than love.
Oh dear friend, can’t you spare me a tiny bit of your time?
Oh dear lover, can’t you gave me a tiny piece of your heart?
O dear love, what can I do to get you?
O dear life, who am I to ask these questions?
No body. No one.
A person of no importance!

A Great Change

2009-05-07T01:12:00.000-07:00

Okay I admit, men does play a big (an understatement; HUMONGOUS is more like it) part in my life. Most of it does revolve around guys. Especially hot ones (or so according to me :P). Never had one changed me so much that made me realize that I have lost too much and too many times. Never that a man (or boy in some respect) changed me until I felt so; how do I place this really; different.

Not only he thought me about life, he thought me about loving family and about loving your roots. He thought me about how beautiful life could be by just living them vicariously through music and books. By poetry, by words. Thank you ZA.

Have I lost my mind liking an actor (shall I say Malay actor?)? Hmmm… I think not. I like him because I think he is deep (get your mind out of the gutter please, not that kind of deep) his poetry, simple enough to be misinterpreted but deep enough to make me feel small.

Shall you read this blog (I wonder if anyone ever does) I would like to thank you very much. As language in my mind was a barrier and was a solid wall differentiating me from my friends and from the people I used to be friend. I know it is kind of racist (or something like it) but I don’t think I will do that anymore. I would not (and by this I promise) judge a person by their language or looks again. I will get to see their looks and their talent first before judging.

For those who are reading and not know who ZA is this is a little montage for you and ZA = Zahiril Adzim is an actor who portrayed Merah in Merah Puteh which is currently showing at 4.30 pm on TV3 and 8.30 pm on TV9… Enjoy…

Yet Another Blog Site

2009-05-06T10:05:00.000-07:00

For those who had been reading my blog, I would like to thank you very much. Thank you for finding me and thank you for just even reading my blog. I have been told that English is my most fluent language to write in but I have also realized that by writing and reading in English, I have totally forgotten about my mother tongue. My beautiful language.

One thing many people who already know me should know that I like to do things and I sometimes does it half way. And most of the time it is because of a boy. It is true. It is because of a boy. I will not embarrass myself here and call his name out loud, but it is because of him. But just to be clear, he is no one from my college.

Language should never be a barrier to anyone not even those who can’t read and see. But language usually set people apart. Some judge a person by the way they talk, some by what they write. Language should be a means to connect people rather than to set them apart.

I thought my Malay could not be any better or any worse but as I see it, it is getting worse. I don’t blame the movie that I watch or the shows that I see. Those are my choice. But I do blame myself for not being more open to things that my own are doing. Recently an actor opened my eyes to see that blogging is not just to spread words but also to let out creativity even in the simplest form of art.

His blog, is not merely words that I read every day, his words comes as a poet trying to tell a story to a being. His story, his words, nothing simple, nothing boring. Yet he is just a man. He is just a person and more he is just twenty-five years of age.

With much passion and Love, I would like to thank this man for opening my mind and soul back to my real roots. Thank you sir.

Lots of Respect,
Ieja

To all you Harry Potter fans out there… if you are anything like me, you might just love Draco more than Harry… well I do. Even though I’m not that huge of a fan either, just of Tom Felton. Well, this post is dedicated to Mr. Felton in hopes that he will be the next best thing after 30 Seconds to Mars (Jared Leto).

Fast & Furious Review

2009-04-02T05:09:00.000-07:00

Please be informed that the following post contains spoiler and extract from the movie of Fast & Furious (2009). For those who have not seen it, I recommend to not read the following post. If you do, not my problem, just you ruined your suspense in the theater. And I highly recommend car addict and adrenaline junkie as well as hot-bod slaves to go and watch this movie. Because it’s worth it.

!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!

I just watched Fast & Furious a.k.a. The Fast and Furious 4 (2009) earlier today. If you thought the first one was good and the second one was okay and the third one was acceptable; then this one is fabulous. It is at par (maybe a little higher) as the first installment of this movie. It’s sad that Letty died in the very beginning though, Michelle Rodriguez’s character could have been developed into something better since the stunts she did in the other movies was very very good.

I was a little surprised to see Han alive and well and no scratch at all on him when this movie started. I was like, shite, didn’t this dude die in Tokyo Drift? Then I asked my friend about the inconsistency, and he broke into a laughing fit. Fast & Furious was set between 2 Fast 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift. Dom sad he didn’t want anyone to be with him when he is being caught and Han said that he heard about the sick racing scene in Tokyo. It was in the middle of the movie that Han went to Tokyo. So settle about bringing back the dead.

When the words: “Letty was murdered” uttered by Mia (Dom’s sister) I almost cried. Not because I was sad, but I was heartbroken not to see Michelle R in action more in this movie. The opening scene was great and very very well shot. Great stunt and excellent driving by the gang.

When Dom met Brian again for the first time, was hilarious for me. The look like a couple of teenagers that have fought over the same woman before and met again. And the line that Campos/ Antonio Braga said to Brian was just drop dead side-splitting. Here’s the excerpt from IMdb.com:
“Antonio Braga: So, you know each other?
Dominic Toretto: He used to date my sister.
Antonio Braga: You're a lucky man.
Brian O'Conner: How's that?
Antonio Braga: You're still breathing!”

Another thing that makes me think twice was the bullet shot at Dom. It was either the bullet was a .22 caliber bullet that it slipped out while he was walking or that the bullet has moved to other places in his body. This is because when Mia cleaned his wound, she said there isn't any bullet and for sure Brian might have said something if he was the one who took it out, and it was very damn sure that it was NOT a through and through wound. The question is where is the bullet?

Other than that Fast & Furious is Fast and Furious, it’s all about the cars, hot chicks and muscles. Like Dom said “I like nice bodies no matter the make.” Peace.

Confession of a Shopaholic

2009-04-02T04:19:00.000-07:00

Alright I owe a few friends a few movie reviews and a couple of book review. So I’ll write one review tonight and post it if time permits and the others maybe after I return home or something, we’ll see… As for the book reviews, that I have to do later… Meh, me lazy bums. :P

Review Starts Here

I really don’t get it why many people are giving Confession of the Shopaholic (2009) a hard time. It’s a decent movie and it is aimed mainly for ladies (sorry men). It is really not that bad at all. I can’t compare it to the book as I have not finished reading it yet which I will do later when I finished reading it but what book that was turned into a movie does not have any different between them. None.

Movie is a one group or one person perspective where as for the book a million people could bring to a million perspectives. Not to say stop comparing them but just to say that stop making such a big deal for the small things that are different.

The main pillars of any movies are the actors and actresses, without them a movie could not be done (no offence directors and other people but these, I my opinion, are the most important). The chemistry between the actors are fine but could be better and Isla Fisher is kind of over doing her acting a little. The only other movie I saw her in was in Definitely, Maybe (2008) and her acting was better than this one… but that is just my opinion. Apart from that, I think the cast is fine. Period. And oh, the wardrobe is fantabulous!

The story was okay and predictable but there were a few scene that seems a little over done. But if it was me I would have done the exact same thing anyway, especially the part where she was wrestling over the Pucci Boots. Another part over done was the credit card in ice block. The ice should not have been so big, I mean I myself do keep money and my emergency debit card in ice, but it is not that huge. Not that I would wrestle anyone in public, if I was the director, I would have put in the exact same scene in them. The dancing and moving mannequins were hilarious… and freaky at the same time but entertaining… All in all I guess I would give this movie a three and a quarter out of five (3.25/5), the quarter is especially dedicated to Mr. Hugh Dancy (I’m sick, I know….)

^Review Ends Here^

Alright folks that’s all from me for now on this movie, but I might just have a different perspective after watching it for the second time around later. And after reading the book. Who knows.

Ode to Thee :)

2009-04-01T12:20:00.000-07:00

How shall I live by thee are the air that I breathe,
How shall I see by I only live to see the sight of thee,
Shall my heart ache, as it only craves thee as my companion,
Shall I be place in the coldness, stillness of the air as thee took the warmth away.

O my lord,

Shall I kill for thee,
Shall I withered without thee,
As for what time shall I wait for thee?
Alas I shall die without thee.

these words are not meant for ANYONE! These are just rambling of my fricken mind that can't bloody stop thinking about the stupendous things... it might not be structurally correct or grammatically correct, it just work at the point of writing this and i know i myself might laugh at it tomorrow.

:)

P/S: Right and please do check on updates on http://consortprincessofmonaco.blogspot.com/ as well, some of my writing updates will be posted here and there. And my poems will be updated mainly there and my original fiction are TBA. as my fan fiction is on my fan fiction page. Thank You *curtsies*.

Dancy – The New Age Darcy

2009-03-31T11:41:00.000-07:00

In honour to fulfil a request by a dear friend of mine, and just to update my dear blog who has no readers what-so-ever, so Aina this post is dedicated especially for you dear. Even though the contents of it might not have much to do with you or even none at all.

Thy glance stole my heart,
Thy glare pierces into my soul,
Thy breath warms the coldest place,
Oh Henry...

Break... Stop! Heee... have you not seen Mr Charles Brandon or shall I say Sir Charles Brandon, The Duke of Suffolk uft... unless you’re a lesbian, this bloke is bloody marvellous. This also has nothing to do with my topic, but I just have to say that the duke is much more handsomer and fitter than the king. It’s not that Johnny Rhys is not fit, it’s just that he is no competition to Henry... If I were the casting directors, I would rather think that Henry is more fit to be King Henry and Johnny is fit to be the Duke. But maybe, just maybe the bloke is tad too young to play the king eyh. No matter that and well, I am not the director, the cast ensemble is superlicious-brilliosome anyways... Tudors are just fantabulous... :P

Jonathan Rhys Meyers as King Henry VIII in Tudors

Henry Cavill as Duke Charles Brandon in Tudors

Lads and Ladies of Tudors

Men of Tudors

Although if any James Bond directors or future directors are reading this do take Henry Cavill as the next James, or Alex Pettyfer... although Henry is the better choice...

Doesn't this Lad reminds us of the handsome late James Dean? Alex Pettyfer, everybody

Isn't he a Perfabulos Bond?

So to my topic, Mr. Dancy, Hugh Dancy. I never really picture anyone to be a more perfect Mr. Darcy than this man. Mr. Darcy (Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen) was described as arrogant in his speech as a facade to his true genuinely munificent, generous and honorable nature. Mr. Dancy has he arrogance edge to his looks and yet when he opens his lips, luscious words comes out of them. A perfect gentleman he was in Confession of a Shopaholic, a smexy man he was in The Jane Austen Book Club. Okay I’m a little exaggerating things since I watch CoaS but seriously, this bloke is the man to be Mr. Darcy… and if I could please, please, I would so love to be Ms. Bennet to this Mr. Darcy… above all their name are almost similar. Dancy, Darcy… This English man, is more than handsome he is beautiful that it hurts (Only not as beautiful as Mr. Cavill *sigh*).

What else can I say, but *sigh* *dreamy eyes*

It amazes me that these English actors are so terribly fit, yet they are not as known as American actors. *Double Sighs*. And the way they utter each word with such gentleness and sweetness, ahh, hoe can it not swoon any girl off their feet, how can it not melt a million hearts of virgins, and how can it not make the knees of mother’s trembles at the sore placid manners of these beautiful blokes. *sigh*

Alright the person who is reading my writing and correcting it as I type it questioned, why suddenly changed the norm of writing in American English to writing in British English. Well, my love, it’s because all these men are from Great Britain. Plus, I shall write in any fecking language I like, period.

Anyways, shall I have more materials to write I will as soon as I get to a computer and writing on someone else’s computer is just not the same even though it’s the cutest Apple I’ve seen...

Super Bowl 43

2009-02-02T07:32:00.000-08:00

I missed the first quarter of the game and most of the second quarter too. But I did catch the amazing James Harrison (Steelers) intercepting Kurt Warner (Cardinals) for the 100 yard touchdown. That Harrison guy is crazy amazing. He just made this amazing game more amazing… okay I know I’m not much of a sport commentator but seriously, 100 yards touchdown interception? This guy is totally in the history book. He just made the best play yet. One play that no one can ever top. I don’t think ever since I watched this game anyone else had done the same thing he did.

Third quarter for me was fairly boring with some ups and downs. But the fourth quarter was simply mind blowing, especially towards the end. Since I was kind of sleepy when I watch the game this morning and I hit my head to the ceiling as I jumped for the victory touchdown for Steelers, I guess that is the cause for my amazingly bad vocab and grammar and sentence structure today…

So yeah, YEAY STEELERS!!!

Have You Ever

2009-01-26T10:03:00.000-08:00

Have you ever fallen in love with a book that you can connect many many unspoken act as well as spoken emotion to unrelated things entirely? I have always asked myself where did my passion for dance, music, writing, reading and French comes from. For the longest time I had never realized about this. One book, just one book changed my life, changed my perspective on life itself.

The book I’m talking about is none other than, Gaston LeRoux’s Phantom of the Opera. Meg Giry’s love for her Ballet and Christine Daae’s passion for life and love itself just blew my mind. The story has been stuck in my mind since I was, well let put it this way, I first read it when I was around 11 and I have been reading it religiously every year without fail. Hmmm, no wonder I answered PotO for my PMR. *smiley*

In this world of finding material things and looks, this book bring us back to a world of wonder, of beauty beyond looks, the exquisiteness of love weaved within music and dance and just the melodic of the words. I mean take any book, any of the contemporary books nowadays and compared to this one, there are no compare.

The characterization of the Phantom and Christine and Raoul even the Persian, are detailed and somehow to the point.

Okay, so basically, what I’m trying to say is this book is AWESOME…

Thank you to my friends who reminded me about my passion and about who I am as well as my loves. You guys are my first love.

P/S: Not that I don't want to name name, but out of respect to some people, I promised, I would not print their name on here.

Obama

2009-01-20T09:13:00.001-08:00

Barack H. Obama. A new change for the people of America and for the world. My knowledge about this man is undoubtedly very limited and I do not wish to make a fool out of myself online as well as hurt any party or to be disrespectful. I am merely here to pose a question really. Obama is now the 44th president of United States of America. His motto was ‘Change you can Believe in’. Economically, I don’t doubt this man but will he or can he change the standing of the war? Can he stop or lessen the blood spilling from happening in the world that occurs out of greed?

‘Change You Can Believe In’. 4 years term to prove your bills and promises. Believe is a very strong word for a very heavy responsibility. But I do believe that the world will not be the same with Obama as the 44th American President. I do hope that he can change the and make the unnecessary killing stop!

Beauty

2009-01-16T08:47:00.000-08:00

I just can’t get enough of this song and I cannot get it out of my head. Notre Dame de Paris is one of the most memorable once I have ever watched and might just be one of the best. I loved the book as a kid and I love the theatre as a teen. I recently came across this music video from Youtube…

Garou is a fantabulous singer and an amazing actor in the theater. I just love this man’s voice… And his song with Celine Dion is just so so so good.

Have a shot at these songs, I assure you, you will fall in love with the manliness of this man’s voice. Never had I hear anything like it before. Not even Josh Groban can do it like he does. And his French is just so fantastic.

French is such an amazing language, even the simplest term seems romantic and so warm… Anyways before I start to ramble further into the nothingness of my fried brain, I’d better stop and get some sleep…

Have a nice weekend ahead and Bonne Nuit…

Book-a-holic

2009-01-11T07:32:00.001-08:00

Call me crazy, or call me addicted, I just can’t get enough of books. I cannot even stand to hear about book fairs… I’ll be the happiest one… I’d spend more than I ever should for the month. I know it is kind of splurging and a little waste of time, but that’s what I like about books, it makes you go nuts.

Anyway the reason for me writing this is because I went to a book fair in Plaza Damas in Sri Hartamas. It’s located near SenQ. The deal was Crazy with a capital C. there were books as cheap as 3 for RM 10. And the selections were awesome. I could have easily spend a thousand bucks there alone. But because of my drying budget this month and also the time constraint I’m having right now, I just bought a couple of hundred bucks worth of books.

These are the picture of my books. Not all of them are new, but most of them are... huhuhu, I can’t wait to finish it all…

So You Think You Can Dream?

2009-01-10T00:59:00.000-08:00

I'm not feeling really well today, I’m unsure if it’s because of stress or the rain yesterday but I feel like I’m coming down with a fever. On top of that I had gazillion things to do… I still have a billion things to do now still but I’m just taking a little break.

Since I could not concentrate much on studies right now, so I decided to watch any random video from my external hard disk. So I landed on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ Season 4. Which I think is one of the best seasons so far. In season 4, it was hard to pick who was a favorite really; most of them are very good with versatility, and almost perfect in their zone.

One of my favorite couple in this season had to be the two smallest dancer Gev and Courtney… they are just so cute and very very very great match for each other.

And Gev, you can deliver the ‘message’ to me anytime man. And I mean ANYTIME… I just love your style… not the b-boying though, the cha-cha man you’re fantastic. Anya and Pasha, I wish you can teach me to dance like that… The video below is the full routine of the dance… and the part where Gev bump his hip to Courtney’s hip is the ‘message’.

Uh, how I wish I can work with all those choreographer in the show, how nice life would be then… hold on, I did danced with or at least was in a workshop with Mr. Wade Robson… Weee… And Mary, I beg you to train me to be into your ‘Hot Tomali(sp?) Train’… Please Mary…

Okay rambling’s over, I need to get back to Engineering in Society notes… Blergh… :(

The 999 Challenge

2009-01-06T23:18:00.000-08:00

I admit I may not finish it on time as I promised many people that I would, but I will try the best that I can. I am not merely making excuses for that I am busy with studies, but I am really busy... With what I have no clue myself.

Seven days had passed since the New Year and I have not even finish one book yet. I usually average at two to three books per week but its taking almost two weeks for this one book. I’ll admit the story is not as interesting as Lord of the Ring and Twilight or even Harry Potter but it is not bad, so far that is. But I just could not get a time just to sit and concentrate on it... But I do hope that I will finish the book by end of this week so that I can move on.

This is my 999 book challenge link: http://www.librarything.com/topic/53426 as everyone can see there are lots of empty spaces in the suggested reading list... Mind giving me a suggestion on books in any categories... I really have no more idea of what is good right now.

For those who might be asking what the fire engine is the 999 challenge, here is what it is. The challenge is to read nine(9) books in nine(9) categories, and to make the challenge harder, all 81 books must be completed before September 9th, 2009 (09/09/09) or to make it easier, you can read one book and put it in 2 or more categories. I’m up for the 81 books before September 9th, ’09 but I might not finish it in time... But I will still read 81 books this year... Wish me luck...

Precious New Year’s Gifts…

2009-01-06T07:47:00.000-08:00

Could not have started the new year better than this year… So far that is… I received a gift that means so much to me… Weee… Thanks so much you all… and especially thanks to Hana and her brother Izad… And thank you you guys know who you all are for paying it for me… I love, love, love the gift so much… What’s the gift? Most of my close friends would know it already even without me saying it, but anyway, it’s the WHOLE set of the Cullen Crests… Ngee… Kind of childish ain’t it? But whatever… I LOVE IT!!! These are some pictures of the item…

Next, thank you my unutterly awesome cousins for making me read once more… 75 you say??? I’ll take the 81 book challenge this time around… Thanks for the freakishly funny YA books… I’m a grown woman you know… but YA books still can fill my brain a little… Wee… These are the list of my new to be read books:

-Inkworld Trilogy by Cornelia Funke
-Beauty Sleep: A Retelling of "Sleeping Beauty" by Cameron Dokey
-Dangerous Days of Daniel X by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge
-Define "Normal" by Julie Anne Peters
and last but not least
-New Dawn by Ellen Hopkins

And not forgetting Choke by Chuck Palahniuk…

Anyway, I guess that’s all from me for now… let me just get back to my books before I crash and burn my brains… and oh, wish me all the best for my test this Friday… :P

Colts vs. Charges (AFC Wildcard Playoff)

2009-01-03T20:50:00.000-08:00

I missed the first half of the very interesting game… Interesting for me as I am a huge fan of Peyton Manning and Adam Vinatieri… I caught the game with Colts trailing with 10 to 14 to the San Diego Charges. At some point the play were turned and Colts were then leading with 17 to 14 and towards the end of the game Charges evens up the game with 17 to 17…

So the game went for an overtime game... where the play of the game changes yet again. The Charges had control of the game yet again… towards the end of the 7th minute, they scored a touchdown. The touchdown to eliminate my favorite team so far.
Charges won 24 – 17. T.T

Anyhow, for the Super Bowl guesses, I think it is a little too early to say. But I do hope the younger Manning would go through to the Super Bowl… So am I a Giants now? Well, maybe… We’ll jus have to see and I’ll just have to religiously wake up and watch the tele every Saturday, Sunday and Mondays for the games leading to the Super Bowl.

I hope though I can catch the game live again this year… like every other years… Hmmm… Fingers cross…

Happy 2009 to all

2008-12-31T06:02:00.000-08:00

A year of blessing and tears...

More to come later... I promise... for now,
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!

Twicraze Still... :)

Other than the annoying plots and over the top love-hate relationships in Twilight, the best thing about the book is actually the rides… I mean she uses cars like Aston Martin Vanquish, Porche Carrera 911 and even Ducati…

Okay so it was said in Eclipse that Edward bought a Silver Ducati for him to ride with Bella and which then Bella said something about riding bikes is the connection she can only make with Jacob and then Edward said he would just let go if the bike to Jasper, it seems that Jasper have the hots for the bike… Well, if I could make a suggestion to Jasper, I would suggest this bike:

Limited Edition C120 Fighter Motorcycle by Confederate Motor Company.
This sheek, sleek and sexy bike just fits his character perfectly... but only 45 of these bikes are made and so far there are only 32 left... but seriously this bike is sooo super cool...

"C120 Renaissance Fighter
The Fighter clarifies opaqueness and nullifies hype with straight-forward true to concept certitude. At the source is a classic right triangle. Proportion is classically derived. Scale is middle way. Bearing exudes structural permanence. Human integration deploys yang energy, vitality, and power in the most simple, pure and direct form. Geometry is optimized for the medium and/or long disciplined journey of sensory heightened motion. Torque to weight is maximized. Engine, suspension and ergonomic luxury and ease of use is optimized. Materials utilization is the finest. Individual piece and component specification is highest and best.

Craft preparation and specification is uncompromised. The aesthetic is fresh, industrial, sculptural, holistic and honest. The saddle of the Fighter is your place for those outings which require extended time, geography, meditation and distance. Personal liberation will result!" by Confederate Motor Company

Twiver Twiview (Twilight Fever Review...)

2008-12-02T07:19:00.000-08:00

I went and watch this movie the first time with a bunch of my friends… I was really looking forward for that day, not because for the premier of the movie but because of a personal reason that I am not yet ready to disclose.

Before the movie, I have already read the book several times that I could almost reproduce the book in my sleep. I think I could remember the lines in the book as much if not more than Stephenie does, and she’s the writer.

It must have been around 2 years ago that I was first bitten by Edward Anthony Masen Cullen (only then I only knew him as Edward Cullen) and it took me almost a year to get just his face out of my head. How did I get it out? Easy try imagining Lestat de Lioncourt a.k.a Mr. Tom Cruise (Interview with the Vampire – movie version) as Edward Cullen. Then after almost a year of getting Edward Cullen out of my head, I came across Cam Gigandet’s IMDB site saying he was filming a film called Twilight. Why does that sound so familiar? Hmmm… I’m a Cam fan since The OC and most recently Never Back Down. Too bad he’s always playing the bad guy…

So having nothing better to do I went to see the cast ensemble, I have to admit the cast was totally gorgeous. So I decided to give Twilight a go again. Only this time I treat it like a fan fiction piece. You see, when I read a book sometimes I do judge the structure and the sentence placement, but when I read a fan fiction I only care about the story and the hell with words placement. Not that I am saying I am a good writer but that’s the way my brain works. Well actually that’s what you get when you read too much Anne Rice, Gaston LeRoux and Aldous Huxley growing up.

So, again, I fell in love with the Cullens, not only Edward this time. Mainly because I like older soul and funny guys. I fell in love with fictional characters pretty often since I have a pretty crappy social life… anyways, despite wanting to be with Edward, sometimes, I just am too smitten by Jasper’s wisdom and courage and Emmett’s silliness. And don’t let me start on Dr. Carlisle Cullen… The Doctor part of him explains it all…

So okay, back to the movie review. Well, the movie was not as disappointing as it was said in youtube and reviews everywhere (even Yahoo! Answer) but it was not good. Some of the best part, was left out, some of the best line was left out, and most of all some of the parts in the movie that were not supposed to be funny was hilarious…

SPOILERS ALERT!!!!

Okay so back to the movie, the beginning of the movie was okay, but it was supposed to be in one of the Cullen’s view as I see it, and obviously, as they’re running they are supposed to see everything clearly, so the camera thing was terrible… but if it was in the view of Bella, then maybe it’s acceptable but unfortunately she don’t run that fast…

Bella, is supposed to act awkward towards her father not COLD~! She was ice cold towards her father in the car, okay maybe it is a little exaggerated but seriously, but that probably because of the director and script writer and not so much on the actress. And the BIGGEST part they missed on Bella’s life is the responsibility part of her… I mean come on~! Let her cook and not eat at that crappy diner… In the book she is portrayed as the responsible daughter but in the film she is turned in to a reckless girl. However annoying the Bella character maybe, I still respect her as a person, I mean she cooks for her dad… tell me 10 teenage girls that still cook for their dads… not to mention doing laundry and checking up on him and all… the film lacks that.

The cafeteria scene was a little 90210-ish it’s like having a 90’s flash back of the popular couples coming in the cafeteria and their baby brother trailing behind them… okay it was not that bad, it’s just that the Edward grin was funny… okay that was rude… but seriously, 90210… Then comes the Carlisle entrance scene in the ER, he looks like he was powdered by doughnut sugar… the way he walks and the camera took it, all it needs is a slow-mo and 80’s soap opera music… my god… it was so funny… it was ridiculous…

In the bio lab, Rob Pattinson did an awesome job screwing Edward up. He was supposed to be too attracted by Bella’s scent that he is appalled by it not want to hurl that makes your face looks like you want to cry… and the way he took his book after class like he was running to Carlisle and say ‘daddy, she hit me… waaaa…’ Rob looks hilarious in the shot.

This next comment might make me seem very focused on the character; Edward’s and Bella’s contact lenses were VISIBLE in many scenes!!! Especially the bio lab scene during the close up of Edward and when Bella commented on his change of eyes color. Bella’s are visible whenever she rolls her eyes. Don’t make me start with the make ups on other Olympic Vampires; you can literally see the makeup line on Esme in the kitchen scene. I know this is a lower budget movie, but then this movie could really do better.

The next thing is Jasper… I could swear I’ve seen him on screen before… oh wait; he’s the long lost brother of Edward Scissorshand. It’s the hair, and even the way he speaks… Jasper’s classiness was extracted from the movie by making him look like a withdrawing heroin addict… it’s either that or he was kicked in the groin every time he have to show his face in front of the camera… And Jackson is a pretty awesome guy from what I can see in the interviews…

I know the part that vampires shine like embedded diamonds on their bodies, so I imagined like they glow and shine, not like he was bathing with gold dust and have beads of sweat all at the same time… Robert, as a dedicated actor, the least you could do before you shine with fake gold dust is to shave your body… I mean he looks yummy in real life but yucky in that scene…

Emmett looks like a pimp… baseball cap and hoodie??? Okay this movie needs a makeover… Rosalie supposed to look like the MOST beautiful woman but it looks like Alice is prettier than she is… but then again, beauty is in the hand of the be holder right? But seriously, there are a lot of other actresses out there who are more suited to play Rosalie… And Rosalie looks a little normal, she’s supposed to be graceful and what not…

For a superbly uncoordinated person, Bella is extremely coordinated; apart from the scene she trips in the bio trip and fell in front of her house. Just look at the way she was on the trees, she was fine… she’s only clumsy when she wants to face Edward for some reason. And she was again very extremely coordinated walking in the cast without crutches…

For a moment when I read the book I thought when the venom goes into your blood stream you are supposed to be in pain. In the movie it looks like they were enjoying it… Bella looks like she was having an orgasm with her eyes crossed rather than in pain… Edward looks like he was having Carlisle doing him for the first time instead of immense pain… And Esme definitely enjoying it…

The running part that the Cullens did it looks like some 80’s movie special effect; they almost look like they are buzzing… Cute. Bella stuttering in the hospital and her blinking. Annoying…

But the worst part in the movie would be the bedroom kissing scene… when Edward literally flew backwards, and Bella was spread eagle, I was laughing like mad… WTF??! She’s wearing a granny pants… and a kid behind me said ‘mommy look she have no pants on.’ No wonder Edward flew back…

Okay I admit I do love this movie somehow. I mean I wouldn’t have watched it a hundred times if it wasn’t right. So enough with the bad hilarious part, even though there are more… here are some of the memorable parts and sweet ones.

I absolutely love the baseball scene; it shows how close the Cullen Clans are… the part where Emmett and Edward collided with each other, man that was awesome… And was it a finger that Edward gave to Emmett and Rob let his accent slip. But really it looks more of a Rob Pattinson and Kellan Lutz moment rather than Edward and Emmett moment.

Emmett warming up for the game was hilarious, and Jasper… oh Jasper, he’s just dreamy as he hit the ball. And Carlisle kitty comment was cute… And Alice leg while pitching, she should be a ballet dancer, her point is amazing…

The time when Bella was sleeping and Edward was beside her and she went on top of his chest and laid her head on his chest, it was soooo romantic. Also when they are going to take Bella away and Jasper and Alice were holding hands in the car was just *sigh*. And the lion and the lamb quote… *sigh sigh*.

Okay so, I think I have laughed and squealed enough for this movie, to tell the truth, I’m running out of ideas of what to write. I’ve written almost 3 whole pages. Last one before I end my review, the ‘Son, remember who we are.’ Line from the utmost handsome Dr. Carlisle Cullen, reminds me of Disney’s The Lion King and the part where Emmett, Jasper and Alice was dancing around the fire where James is burnt reminds me of the three withes of Macbeth…

So okay, I think I should conclude my review here and maybe there is another part on the actors and actresses of the movie some other day… for now, good night and have a nice week…

XOXO,
Love,
Forever and Always,

Just an Update

2008-12-01T21:35:00.000-08:00

I have yet again neglected this blog in order to concentrate on my fan fictions and other fictions, unfortunately, writers block as I like to call it have yet again over power me… or have it?

Anyways, I think I will stick on to this blog and write every now and then… What have I’ve been writing? Well, nothing much really, just a few pages of ideas and well, it is still not good enough for anyone to read it yet…

Another thing, I do need a beta reader that could help me… the only problem is, no one reads this craps anymore… not anyone my age anyway… *shrugs*

*sigh* so, I guess that’s it…

08.08.08

What does the number means to you? Does it give you great memories? Bad ones or it was just another day?

The Summer Olympics’ opening ceremony was held on this day. Someone was born and someone died somewhere in the world. Someone’s happy celebrating birthdays and some were mourning for loss. Some was proposed, and some had a first fight. Some had their first kiss and some had their last. So many things happened in just one day. One more day that we can never get back.

For me, today is a special day. This year is a special year for me. Let me specify to today first then proceed to this year. Well, nothing special really came to me today, but today, I got the drive to work harder and actually study. After the three months holidays, I never really got back into study gear, but today, somehow, I feel like I’m in the second or third gear all of the sudden. Funny.

As for this year, many things happened. I got my cousins back. Only God knows how much I missed just talking with them. Or even just seeing them. Now, I can talk to them whenever and wherever I want. It feels good. It feels like I have a new sisters and a brand new brother. Even though since the beginning of this year, it has been tough for my family, incident after incident occurred. People getting real sick and people passed on and accidents and strokes, my God, it had been a tough year.

But getting my cousins back beats it all. It’s like all the bad thing even accumulated into one the magnitude of it does not even compared to the good things. Just to see them happy and well, it’s like having a thrill ride and going nuts at the same time. Thank you, God for giving them back to our family. We’ve lost almost 10 years with them and we are trying our level best to get back the lost ten years.

This year also, I started to pursue my passion. My passion for arts. I like dancing, music, writing and things like that. I started dancing. I love it. I’ve started writing again. Although I do it on and off when I have the idea and when I feel like doing so, but at least I am trying. About dancing, I started off with great group. Although they are younger than I am, but they make me feel like I am their age. No age gap. Even the instructor is cool. Dennis and Alam, you guys are the best. Even though I suck at dancing still, now, you guys make me feel good. Dennis is a great friend material, as far as I know him now. And Alam is a great big brother figure and supporter; he never let you say you can’t. And he was the first person who I trusted that I can stand on my hands, that is of course with him holding me. But I would never do it if it was someone else I guess…

Lastly, this year I came across a fiction that stole my heart and blew my brain cells away. It makes me want to be the character, it made me start writing again. It’s the Twilight Series (Twilight Saga) by Stephenie Meyer. I think it is very fit to say that she is one of the best authors of the 21st century. Her vampires are more human than anyone I know. Her description are vivid enough for you to imagine her setting but not too much that it restrict your imagination. She is my new writing Icon.

So, August 8th, 2008, a day to remember, a year to cherish. A memory that I hope will last me a life time. Because even the insignificant moment is really what matters in life. Love what you have and take care of it. Never ever blame others for your fault, and lastly, Live life as you see fit, not just follow what people want you to do blindly…

~Love~

a whole new me...

Well, I have not much time really, but I guess if I don’t do it now, I would never start with my blog. I have yet to start on another story and another one shot or maybe two of them, but I still could not finish any of them yet.

I am still in my holiday mood even after almost a month of starting my 3rd year… OMG~!!! I’m a junior in College now… One more year here and I’m free… well not really, but more free to do what I want and what I like… In a year’s time I’d be an engineer, oh wow…

What will I do next, what will be of me after college? More college perhaps or work… Yuk! I’m just not ready to go to work yet… I’ll be 21 by the time I graduate and maybe, there is still enough time for me to be what I really aspire to be or maybe I could then continue my studies and be what I wanted to be... but I didn’t have the chance…

A writer is what I aspire to be and a Medical Practitioner is what I want to be… but now I’m stuck in learning what I hated most, Physics… but I’m taking Mechanical Engineering, every single subject have got something to do with Physics… Do I like learning physics? Maybe. Do I love it? No, but I tried to love it at some point and I did like it for sometime but after the holidays it seems like the love for mechanical subject is decreasing for some reason.
Ah well, life is what we make of it right? Well, I don’t know. Maybe I am just undecided until now of what I want and what I want to be. Life is short but it is longer than we expected… :)

~Love~
