~ Return to form ~

So after a few downer posts on how my life sucks and nothing good came of it (So far), I'm going back to posting about stuff which most people in this region don't care about but is some of the most important things to me.

For fun, I'm going to do this geographically:

East:
A lot of artists are making their comeback next month. SNSD is going to face some very stiff competition, which, btw, I think they're comeback is kinda tapering off, but I guess we will only find out next week. I personally think they made a mistake in the timing of releasing the repackaged album, but what do I know? ^^

I've join a total of 4 or 5 fan forums in the past few days. It's going to bloody kill me. I cannot possibly maintain so many accounts and keep them all active. I am going to have to give something up, but ultimately I want everything and I never learn, so I'm going to try to get everything.

SNSD is sooo pretty, even when they are beggers:


West:
Montyoum joined RoosterTeeth!!! M-O-N-T-Y-O-U-M!!! I totally did not expect that at all. For one, his style and RoosterTeeth seems to be direct opposites, but I guess a merge of this sort might just bring out all the good in everyone. The only thing I'm wondering now is was Monty the new staff member which came into the meeting and slept his way through it? Hahaha.

Montyoum btw, created Haloid and Dead Fantasy:


Search those titles, it's probably not that hard to find.

...

Apparently I have no more regions I care about. Haha. Lily Cole is in Europe? Yeah, then I like that region. :P

That is ultimately also a problem. Given a choice, should I go to the West to see RoosterTeeth (Technically the only thing I care about most about the West at the moment) or go to the East to see all those stars (Which, btw, I have no guarantee I will actually see any of them).

I am stretching myself too god damn thin.

And I need to find a job. My friend found this article/news that they were paying people RM4000 a month to marry some girl so that they can stay in the country and he seems really gung ho about it. Haha.

Haihz... I need someone to spazz stuff about. I tried talking to my friend about the Rooster Teeth thing, he was all like: "Who's Monty Oum?" Total bummer. I need someone who can talk to me about stuff I like. =.=

~ Failure ~

J.K. Rowling Speaks at Harvard Commencement from Harvard Magazine on Vimeo.

I can actually say my friend has impeccable timing. ^^;

I was all bummed out about how my life in uni seemed like a total waste of time or to use that word: "failure". And he shows me this video. I doubt he reads this though, so I would say it is very perfect timing for him to send to me.

Although my issue is am I actually failing now? Haha. Haihz...

~ Graduation... eventually ~

I don't get the graduation gown. Why a gown? I don't get it. It's so baggy, so weird. Why a gown? Add to that, it costs a ton for renting alone! (I'm slightly exaggerating)

But seriously, why a gown? I still don't get it. I can probably wiki it and find out in about 10 minutes, but being lazy and on principle, I sometimes choose to not wiki or google stuff... until I give up and google it anyway, but that's besides the point. Haha.

Anyway, the gown is just weird to me. I don't get why we have to wear that gown just to graduate.

Actually, if it were up to me, I would actually just forget about the event altogether. Haha. I mean I want the degree, attending the ceremony is not going to change that at all anyway, so why go? But anyway, everyone around me saying should go, once in a lifetime thing, blah blah blah...

I will be going, but let's just say under slight protest. (Very very slight... haha...)

University wasn't exactly what I hoped it was though. Now that I think about it, I think it suffered from exactly the same thing as when I have high expectations of a movie. The experience just wasn't as great as what you imagine it to be. You know, you go, you make unforgettable friends, you learn many new things, you find a nice girl who you will settle down with for the rest of your life, you learn the tools you need to get you through the rest of your life, etc. etc. etc.

Let me tell you, I probably did not get any of those. ^^

Let's just go down memory lane shall we?

First year: I got fined like a few weeks into the semester for doing immoral stuff. Everyone else was doing it, and they bloody fined me. It was infuriating. Additionally that is $200 I will never see again. (The immoral stuff is related to Las Vegas btw)

Second year: I got rejected by basically each and every club I joined. Yeah... it was that awesome...

Third and fourth years: I decided to go low and stick with the people I know. But then they all ran off and did different things. Sooo... I was basically alone most of the time.

So what can I say about my University life? It sucked! Yeah. I'm telling you that now. It basically sucked. It was nothing I imagined it to be, and it almost always kicked me in the ass every chance it got.

Good things did happen though, and I appreciate those events and people. But on the whole, I would say it was a bust.

Actually, I would go back so far as to say my life has been on a downward spiral since... oh... 6 years ago? Things just keep getting worse and worse. It's amazing how much happier and carefree I was then. I never had to think that I was losing people I thought were important to me, I never even imagined that I would be thinking those things now, but there you are.

I'm not saying that given a second chance, I would choose differently, knowing myself at this moment now, and knowing how I have gotten here from there, I'm actually quite 100% sure that I would probably have made the same choices that got me here. What I am saying in this post is that I should've known what I was then and what I could do to make this situation slightly better. At the very least, I wish I would know then that I can keep my friends better than I am now.

Anyway, this is all just ranting for ranting's sake. It's not near my graduation date yet anyway. One thing I can say is that I do actually seem to understand and accept who I am more now anyway. At the very least, these past few years have helped me do that.

*Haihz*

Anyway, if anyone reading this is bummed out by my description of Uni life, please do note that I am probably a special case that did not truly enjoy Uni life. I know of people who has had so much fun they flunked classes so that they could stay longer, that's how dedicated fun loving people they are. Uni life is still probably something you kids out there should try. Who knows, you might even enjoy it. XD

~ BANG! ~

After School - Let's Do It! + Bang!


Lizzy's vocals was rough there. Or at least I think it's Lizzy. Besides UEE, Kahi, Jungah, Joo Yeon and Raina, I can't really tell who is Nana, Lizzy or Bekha.

Raina is really... awesome... really really awesome. Apparently she's now in charge of all the vocal runs in all the songs. And she's just so damn cute!!! XD





Both their songs are literally much better seen than heard. Seeing them perform it is just... wow... Let's Do It! really just wowed me. I mean it was as good or better (I mean look at those outfits!) than a real drumming band! For around six months of drumming practice, that is really impressive.

Bang! on the other hand, feels a bit rough around the edges, but it can only get better. And I can't bloody wait to see them perform With U. It is almost inevitable that With U will be performed, the question is just when.

All in all, they did indeed come back with a BANG! And the sad thing is that there is no Music Core tomorrow so I have to wait till Sunday to see them perform again! GAAAHHH!!!

Meanwhile, it's nice to see how much they practiced:


Watching Kahi practice even in the recording studio was damn funny! But their dedication is still admirable. XD

Looks like I have another fan forum to join. *Sigh*

If 4minute, 2NE1 comes back this or next month, my mind will literally be unable to handle it. It's bad enough that Secret, Hyori and Rain (I don't really care all that much for Rain, though I do wanna see what he comes up with) are coming back so damn soon. Good thing BoA will only do so final quarter or 2010 though. If she came back now... I would have to shoot myself. ^^

I think I have to give Drumline another shot. How can drums be boring? It's just unfathomable!!!

~ Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight ~

What they are doing is basically removing everything I liked about C&C.



Let's start with what I see that I like: I like the storyline (I don't know it yet, but I like that they are continuing the story). I like... graphics, I guess. And... that's about it for what I can see...

Let's go with what I don't like:
1. The need to always be online just to play. This is just stupid. It's not an issue for me at the moment here, but imagine if I were at home, how am I supposed to play with that Internet connection?

2. Population Cap. I'll boldly say I'm not very good at RTSes, or any game in particular, so I loved the C&C series because strategy is sometimes not really needed. C&C3 was the best when I built a humongous army of Mammoths and just steamrolled over the enemies. Now that there's a cap, it's going to be a bitch that I cannot just steamroll the enemy anymore.

3. Base Building. They removed base building. B-a-s-e b-u-i-l-d-i-n-g. How is this C&C anymore?

4. Superweapons is limited... why? WHY? Give everyone a different superweapon. Don't limit it.

5. No resource gathering. !!??!??!??!?!??! What are you doing to C&C you stupid fools! I can't even collect Tiberium anymore!? What is this!?

Everything I hear about it just sounds horrible. And unlike some other companies which have warranted the right to make changes and still make a fun game, these moves just seem too drastic to actually work.

I think they are pushing it to be more multiplayer friendly. But face it, you can probably never fight the popularity of the other more popular and more strategy intensive RTSes out there.

Anyway, it may be a fun game, it may be not. When I've played it, I'll probably bitch and moan about it then. I'm bitching and moaning about it now because I can't play it now and I'm seriously pissed that they don't really care for the single player gamers out there anymore (Which may be a dying breed now, I don't know).

I go listen to some drums drumming. (That, is another issue altogether... hahaha...)

Preview for next post: (Yes, we now provide previews to what I'm going to post next... XD)

~ Pain & Peace ~

I love that entire storyline section of the Naruto manga. Seriously, I love that part. XD



***Spoiler section, if you are following the anime ONLY, do not read this part-Continue only after the "End of Spoilers" sentence! XD***



The fight between Naruto and Pain is probably my favorite out of the entire manga so far. I've read this the first time early last year I think, and since then I've went back to it another two or three times. I really do love this fight/section. It was a combination of investigation, action and one-man-army style of fight that I really really liked. So many things were happening at the same time and I never felt like one section was redundant or pointless as some other parts of the stories sometimes were.

In fact, Pain is now probably my favorite bad guy now. (Has been for some time actually) Alternatively, I think Madara would probably make a seriously bad-ass bad guy, but his power just a bit fake ady. Pain's power was already pushing it a bit, but I could still dig it, I mean splitting up his power into 6 different bodies was just brilliant (I didn't really get the use of Rinnegan though).


I have rings in my eyes

The only other fight I remember most of the time is the very very very beginning fight between Shikamaru and Temari, and after that the one between Lee and Gaara or Lee and... that... bone... guy... ^^;;

And I feel like Sasuke is getting more and more boring. His reasons for fighting is getting ridiculous. Ultimately, he would probably fit perfectly into the emo mold of the 21st century. But I love his power's names though: Amaterasu and Susanoo. I don't think he can use Tsukuyomi though, I'm not sure why.

I'm actually just naming this story arc Pain & Peace by myself because I like it. For obvious reasons, the fight is with Pain. For less obvious reasons, Pain is fighting to stop the pain and bring peace as is Naruto, but using let's say different approaches.



***End of Spoilers***



Anyway, I just loved this story arc. The upcoming ones should be... cool. But it is moving slowly. The anime is a bitch also btw. Now still at fillers, but I think it's going to return to the main storyline soon. Which is going to be awesome because I think this story arc is coming up! Soo... yay! I'll just need to remember to come back to the anime is about... say... 3 months time? And I'll have the entire set of this story arc to watch! Woots! XD

On non manga stuff (First time I've actually gone on so long about manga):

After School released Bang!


It does take some time to get into and I do agree with what most people say that the actually singing part without the drums are the best part, but still, listen to it a while and the drumming really gets drummed into you. ^^;

However, their other song: With U


Is infinitely more awesome than their released single. I'm sorry to say that, but I 110% think that is the case. The problem is that everyone thinks you need to release a song with a catchy beat to catch everyone's attention, which, in a sense is true. But I do wish someone would really release and promote a power ballad. I mean it worked for 8eight although that wasn't really a power ballad, but it didn't have a dance/pop beat and it was quite awesome. Sadly, even 8eight also succumbed to autotune, it's a sad sad day (The song was actually not bad though).

It's almost similar to their Because of You and When I Fall songs in their previous round of promotions. Except in that case Because of You was almost as awesome as When I Fall. In this case, With U is much much better than Bang!, in my opinion anyway.

If you don't like how Bang! sounds, go watch the MV. It helps. ^^

Okay, this was a much longer post than I had originally intended to post. Haha. Will bitch and moan on different issues another day. I realized I've been very candidly avoiding talking about my feelings and thoughts on my predicament these days, but that's because when I did talk about those, people called me a emo whiner who had no life. (Not literally, but it was implied... XD)

But it did help to not talk about things that make me down. I mean not thinking about it helps. Haha.

~ K-On ~

Yes, we love K-ON... XD

The one and probably only reason I am now even considering watching K-ON. HAHAHAHA.

Pictures courtesy of Kira Hokuten. You can probably find him by googling that name. ^^;

EDIT: Oh, and I just thought of it: It would be awesome of the girls above (Alodia and Ashley) actually made a live action version of the show. Not sure how good their acting is, but heck, I would watch it... just cause. :P

~ Liars ~

The world is full of liars. That's the basic thought I get from watching two seasons of Liar Game. ^^

Really, optimistic and trustful people like Nao don't really exists in this time. I mean, it would be nice if they did, but really, you don't expect that there are people like that anymore. ^^

Doesn't mean it's all bad though, the next thing you can take from the show is that there is always hope that people will band together. Although it is given that there will be those who will break things apart.

Anywayzzz... I think I have met many liars in my life. I mean you can't really tell me all of you out there have never told a lie. I have, and I make no qualms about it. Haha.



I really do wanna watch Liar Game: The Final Stage though. Haihz... how do I get that? I would love to watch it in the cinemas though. Someone please bring it to this region! I mean if you can bring Nodame Cantabile and Kaiji and Dance Subaru (Which I did like btw), why not Liar Game? XD

Some other interesting stuff I did last weekend:

1. Watched "The Lovely Bones". I loved it!!! Besides the argument I had with my brother about how it wasn't a "worth it" movie, it was nice! I really really liked it! Helps that this is the first movie with high expectations that really lived up to it for me anyway. I mean I've been looking forward to it since last year and now that I've finally seen it, it really didn't disappoint.

2. I also cannot follow any of the Rotten Tomatoes Movie reviews. I personally think that site is skewed and not an accurate representation of the entire movie going audiences. But it's just my opinion. That's the second movie review source that I am going to stop looking at now. (My first is all of Singapore's movie review sources)

3. Also came to the conclusion that my movies tastes are that of a teenage girl/young adult female. How did I come upon this? I deduced this from the fact that I liked Twilight and The Lovely Bones and I absolutely hated Watchmen and The Spirit. However, New Moon was bloody terrible. HAHAHA!

4. Had a good weekend at home. One other point is that I can't seem to really call my friends anymore. I keep on thinking "what do I say?" or "what do I suggest we do?" Ultimately, I think I'm losing those bonds of friendship. I'm not really okay with it, but through time, I've actually started to accept it. I tried fighting it, didn't really work all that well. But anyway, I'm not saying I'm giving up. I'm still abiding by my self-made friend-suggestion solution: "Keep those friends you can keep and make new and closer friends." Not that I'm really succeeding at both, but I am getting on with life and not moping about it as I was few months prior.

5. I'm not saying I lost the SNSD craze, but I took a break from it for the weekend. Run Devil Run's performances seemed horrible. But as a devout fan, I will stick by them. Additionally, I think they were sick, and even if they weren't, I would still support them all the way! XD

6. I can't stop staring at my big screen with the white SNSD Run Devil Run outfits. It's sooooooooooo cool... maybe that's why I'm getting a headache... ^^;;

~ SNSD - Run Devil Run ~

You better run~ run~ run~ run~ run~...

I'm so going to run. This MV has been playing on my brand spanking new/old monitor since yesterday. There was an intermission where I was listening to the Drunk Tank, but after that it was running and running and running all the way, oh, except the two hours I took to watch Invincible Youth also. Haha. But now since i have two monitors, it's really so damn easy to just leave the video playing on the "big screen" while I surf and do other stuff on my normal monitor. XD

The girls have been running since yesterday and they don't seem tired yet! MV is just awesome! XD

Choreography is slick. There are so many different parts about it that I like. Additionally, Yoona with that hair is just love. Especially when she ties it up in a ponytail for the white outfits part, that I love. XD

Sad thing about all of this is that I most probably won't get to watch Music Bank tomorrow. Gaaahhh... what a time to decide to want to go home. >.<



What you waiting for? Run Devil Run! Gogogo!

~ Happy happy ~

Besides the fact that I have a e-test later, today/yesterday is a damn good day. XD

Firstly, my parents came by (Yay!) and they brought the monitor that was just gathering dust at home.



So now I get to watch SNSD on a... well... bigger screen.
My 1080p videos are soooo useful now. XD

And yesterday SNSD released Run Devil Run's MV. XD



Yippie!!! XD

I lost my train of thought... *Goes to watch Run Devil Run again*

~ Movie Reviews ~

I have read a few and watched a few of Singapore's movie review articles and shows. And each and everyone I've seen all say the show they are reviewing in horrible. In a sense, what I am saying here is that I've never seen a movie get good reviews in Singapore media, eveerrr...

It is probably coincidence, since I don't read the papers for the movie reviews all the time and I don't watch the movie review show or whatever so much. But everytime I've seen it, it just lambastes the movie every single time.

And it's gotta be more than just coincidence right? Haha.

Essentially, I'm here to say that people here are too strung up. A movie is a movie. You are supposed to go into it to enjoy it. Haha.

In that sense, I've decided a few things:
1. To never believe any Singapore movie reviews.
2. To go into any movie thinking "This will be a good movie!"
3. Enjoying every movie I watch regardless of how good it is to me.

I've basically been doing steps 2 and 3 most of my life anyway. I'm only adding step 1 now. HAHAHA. Only movie I've ever suffered through was "The Spirit", cause really, that was just... urgh... I remember enjoying many movies where my moviemates (Friends lar, haha) came out feeling disgruntled and unhappy with the movie while I was in my head thinking: "It was nice what!" Examples of such movies are: "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within", "Hidalgo", "Memoirs of a Geisha" (This one was pushed a bit) and "Gamer".

Anyways...

On to the fun stuff!


SNSD - Run Devil Run

So, initially I thought it was "Run", then someone told me it was "Devil". Never in my life did I think of adding both of those two words together. Haha.

I'm going to take the same stance as I did with my movie stance earlier. However, my only say is that ITNW is still my favorite SNSD song, it's not essentially because it's nicer to hear, it's just cause ITNW has some value to me, personally.

And anyway, it's not a bad song. Haha. Just... different from what I was kinda expecting. But then I wasn't sure what I was expecting earlier, so... yea...

I soooo won't be able to concentrate on my lectures today. ^^;;

~ Totally uncoordinated thoughts ~

I wanted to put random, but that is just so cliched. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Anyway, just some short random thoughts I had while I was on my way back from classes:

1. I figured out what I want on my tombstone!!! Or what I want as a epitaph! I don't plan on using it anytime soon btw, just so you know. It's: "It's been fun! See you around! XD". The smiley face is important btw. Haha.

2. Would you take a second chance at life if you had it? Like given a choice to start over, would you do it? I keep having this storyline in my head, that I faked my death and stood watching as people attended my funeral. You know, like those spy movies or what not. Haha. Ultimately, I don't think I could do that. Haha.

3. I would like to like run away. To somewhere, anywhere. For like a week or two. No connection, no nothing. I think it'll be quite cool. Haha.

Now on to non random stuff... haha...



SNSD - Devil

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

And on the other hand: OMG, SME what are you doing to me!!!

Anyway, the title is apparently "Devil", but I don't like it. Haha. I prefer if it was called "Run" or "Run Run Run".

Anyway, it's going to be awesome regardless! Wheeeeee...

~ Alice In Wonderland ~

In AMAZING 3-D!!! XD

I am really starting to like 3-D movies, besides the fact that I hate wearing those glasses over my normal glasses. I'm thinking up of an alternative to using contact lenses because I don't have contact lenses and the other more important point is that I do not in particular look forward to putting something into my eye. ^^;

My idea was to instead, remove the handles on my glasses and insert it into the 3-D glasses. Haha. Although I do wish someone would make clip ons. I mean why not right?

Anyway, the interesting thing here is also the fact that I don't remember exactly what I watched in between Avatar and Alice in Wonderland. I think I watched Legion and Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, but I just don't remember them as much as those I watch in 3-D. (For obvious reasons)

But anyway, Alice in Wonderland was a pleasure to watch. I was hesitant initially cause it's Tim Burton and while I respect his work, I have never really liked his work. So I can safely say that this is the first Tim Burton movie that I truly 100% enjoyed from start to finish. Although when I went to watch it, I was expecting more to watch Nodame Cantabile or Kaiji.

But if you know Alice in Wonderland's story, it's... the same? Except that Alice is older and there's some sort of plot. I don't know how similar it is to the original cause I never actually read it before. I always thought I did and I can tell you some things about the story, but in actual fact I have never actually read or know the full story of Alice in Wonderland.

Mia Wasikowska was a dear to watch. And Johnny Depp was Johnny Depp. Methinks Johnny Depp is getting too Johnny Depp that now everytime I see him I think his style is basically the same (Makes sense?), but then he does do other more less crazy acting too, Secret Window for one, but then that was also crazy. Haha. And I like Anne Hathaway except for the excessive lipstick. Helena Bonham Carter's one line she kept repeating was hilarious! The Cheshire Cat was also just so funny!!!

In short, it was really fun! And the 3-D looks amazing, when you see it properly. I don't know why but the tint on the glasses seemed too thick that it made the movie look dark. And sometimes things move too fast for me to see them properly in 3-D. But all in all, it felt great and I loved watching it. I think it was because it was a fantasy movie. I love love love fantasy movies (Something I decided I will love... for now... at least).

Losing yourself in a fantasy world is just soooo much fun!!! And I think the British setting helped a bit. I now think every movie that has someone speaking in a British accent is just funs funs funs!!!

So go watch it and jump down a rabbit hole today!

~ END_OF_NT_EVALUTAION_PERIOD ~

...

WTF!!!

You know, the least they could do was kill it softly, not so abrupt and was a BSOD really necessary?

I mean come on!!! This also you wanna kill me with?

In any case, since I've already spent so much time on getting that HDD from the manufacturer, I might as well let them do it. But I need to find a fix for now... probably just go back to Vista lar... haihz...

Stupid Eval copy... >.<

Read previous post too, I figure I'm posting too soon and my previous post is getting ignored... by the few people who do read this... ahahaha...

~ On the verge of giving up, they pull me right back in ~

I was actually ready to give up on American Idol. Since the live shows started, I've been basically mostly bored watching the shows. There were okay performances and I was thinking this is not worth my time, to keep watching hoping for a power performance to come out and wow me.



Big Mike kinda changed my mind. Haha.

Although I have to point out, I didn't really think it was all that great initially, I was playing it on my defective speakers, so maybe I didn't really get it. SOooo, I plugged in my RM10 earphones (Call me cheap... XD), and tried it again, and it is sooooo much better. (Yes, even on my el cheapo earphones, the brand is keenion, google it)

So now I have some renewed faith in American Idol! XD

Unless Big Mike gets voted out, then I'm out! Haha. Alternatively, if Andrew also gets voted off, I'm quitting Idol. Haha. (I realize the results should already be out, but I've been doing diagnostics and tests and formatting on my comp that I missed it altogether) Given though, Andrew Garcia did a damn bloody weird thing to Christina Arguilera's Genie in a Bottle... ^^;;

Slowly switching my support to Big Mike! And Siobahn Magnus! I think, I can't remember which is which ady. Hahaha. Also Didi Benami!!! Actually, if you ask me, I have no idea who I want to get voted off in this last show (Which already happened, I know I know). As long as most of the people I've mentioned so far don't get voted off, I'm cool. XD

My comp on the other hand, isn't cool. It's been so erratically crashing these days it's not even funny. >.<

So... I called up Dell Service Center. I get now why people hate the "Your call is important to us" message. I felt like ripping someone apart everytime they repeated that phrase. Not to mention I spent a lot of my phone credit on the calls. Haihz. I spent the whole day doing Hardware Diagnostics (Yes, I didn't actually know I could do that... ^^;;;) and more advanced Hardware Diagnostics (Yes, I didn't know the CD I had could do that... ^^;;;)

Apparently it's a Hard Drive issue. >.< Which is bloody irritating. Haihz. And the sucky thing now is that they can only send the technician on Tuesday! Tuesday!!! What the hell. Haihz.

Anyway, I'm just cranky, the stupid comp acting up is not what I need right now. Haihz.

Did I mention? Iron Man 2!!! Looks bloody sweet!!! I love his portable Iron Man suitcase/bag/whatever, that was awesome! XD

~ Orang Besi Dua!!! ~

Iron Man 2


How can a new trailer be sooo much more epic than the first trailer? I mean seriously? How can you do that? XD

Nothing much. In response to my previous post where I was complaining about my computer, I went and totally reformatted my computer with Windows 7. Haihz...

Hoping it's going to work fine now. If it still crashes now, it probably means I have a hardware problem. Which suuucckkkkssss!!! >.<

Nice thing now is that the comp feels so clean. I always love this feeling of a newly reformatted comp, besides needing to reinstall all the stupid stuff I need to use. Haihzz...

~ Imaginary Dreams ~

One: I thought of trading 3 for 1, but turns out the fella was too smart for me. Haha. Well, actually, I did admit that 3 for 1 is a bit too much. But in the end anyway, I figure I'm getting an okay deal. I do like Sunny a lot these days anyway. CCP galore! XD

Two: I spent my entire lecture hours plotting a fake blog post on how much I hated the lecturers for that module. I mean seriously, I was just there thinking about what I should type in my blog, the main thing I came with was: "Oh My God! Can You Talk Any Slower!!!" and "Come on Come on Come on!!! Get on with it!!!"

Three: One would think that Windows 7 would be better than Windows Vista. One would be wrong. I am sure it is more stable, less prone to crashing and all that shit, but I just find it as clunky as Vista to use. But given time I may get used to it. And I have this feeling that it just crashed on me. Additionally, explorer.exe just stopped running for god knows what reason, and I had to rerun it manually. >.<

Haihz...

~ Everything You Do ~

Remembered this song when I was watching SNSD's Hello Baby. It is a show where SNSD pretends to be moms to a baby... ^^;;;

Anyway, this song was playing at the end of the show, so I remembered it. Haha. I remember loving M2M quite a bit at the time. I even got a cassette tape as a birthday present at the time cause I liked them a lot. This was of course before they broke up and went on to do different things in their solo careers.

If I had it with me, I would take a picture. Haha. I have a box full of cassette tapes that are now basically useless because I don't have anything that can play those anymore. Maybe I should go and get one that works. Haha. But then the tapes do seem to degrade over time, so it may actually be impossible to play them ever again.

But then we are in a digital age! Where we can just go on YouTube and find almost whatever stuff we want! Seems like we have come so far in such a period of time. Although I still find value in owning a physical copy of a CD/DVD/cassette even. XD

Keep that in mind when I tell you something else next time. Haha.

~ Nobody nobody nobody but you ~

I almost tried to go and see the Wonder Girls today. But with all the conflicting information coming in from so many sources, I decided it wasn't worth the effort. However, they do look awesome in the pictures and the videos. Haha.

The only good thing one can argue came out of this whole thing, for me at least, is that my interest in the Wonder Girls have been slightly reignited. Haha.

Their Twitters are nice. Updated quite frequently. Haha.

Anyways, still got a 'project' to do... and I got two mid-terms coming up. Haihz... life sucks... ^^;

~ Foxy ~

Han Jang Hee

Let's just say I'm a fan already! XD

But then the music speaks louder than words. I know a few very beautiful ladies who didn't have very good songs that I don't follow anymore (Or follow sparingly). XD

Anyway, looking forward to it... haha...

On non-foxy news:

Everybody Hurts

~ Shoot me, shoot me now ~

You know I love you, but I do not have the money or the will to go out and get all of you. =.=



I mean come on... I figure I'm doing a relatively good job with my star cards and photocards (Thanks max! XD) given the limited resources, but to really put out a new set of photocards now is just going to kill me.

Ahhh... I need monies... >.<

On happier notes:



Seohyun and Yonghwa is just sooooo cute!!! I so much prefer this pairing over Taeyeon and that... I forgot his name guy... Hyunjoon? (That sounds like a SS501 name...)

And I finally got into Invincible Youth (IY). My issue with IY was I kept comparing it to Family Outing (FO), which was a mistake (Which now I think is partly perpetrated by allkpop... haha...). Since I changed my take on IY, I have enjoyed it. Mostly to see Sunny, but also the fact that the other girls are just as entertaining. And it did give me my first "laugh till siao" moment when I saw Yuri getting knocked out over and over again by a soldier's comments. XD

~ Oh! Instrumental ~

Damn cool Instrumental of SNSD's Oh! XD

Well, I like it at any rate. They oughta do a remix of it like this, with the electric guitar in the background. Haha.

On other notes, John Park was booted out from American Idol... boo hoo... but then he didn't really do well... haha...

And I'm glad Didi Benami stayed! XD (Did she? I can't seem to remember! HAHAHA!)

I may update about that later. Haha. My head is spinning now... XD

~ Into the New World ~

I really really really really really really miss this song. XD

Really I do. I love their more recent stuff, it's all good, but Into the New World will always always always be my favorite song of theirs. I was sooooooooooo impressed/touched/nostalgically-inclined by this performance that I briefly considered actually getting those hoodies. That is until you sit down and think about it and realize it really very very pointless to get that sort of hoodie that will just suffocate you in this sort of weather. If I were say to be in Korea or America or Europe or Antarctica, then sure, getting this would make sense. XD

Still, I think I would've gotten it had money not been an issue, as it is now, money is still an issue. Haha.

I guess some things always will be eh?

And I also do love this outfits:


XD

Oh, American Idol was goooood. Siobhan Magnus' last note was spine tingling. That is probably the closest I've come to a wow moment after Andrew Garcia's Straight Up (People are still talking about that... lol). And now I wanna support Siobhan Magnus ady. Haha. I also wanna support Didi Benami, cause after she got the critique from the judges, she looked so down that I just wanna hug her! ^^;;

Haeley sorta killed Miley's song. I didn't expect that. I thought oh cool, that would be a great song, but she kinda killed it. Others that I liked were Lily Scott, Krytal Bowersox... er... others... cause I can't really remember the others ady. Haihz...

Anyway, it was good. Haha. I wish there were more wow moments though. I am now kinda a bit impatient for it to hit the top 12 so that maybe I can get some more consistent and powerful performances. XD

~ Keep Holding On ~

Video for Keep Holding On by the Glee cast: (Quality isn't really good)


Just audio: (Better quality)


Love this version of the song. For one thing, the girls in the video look awesome. And Quinn Fabray just protrays the right expression as someone who needs to keep holding on. And Brittany also looks awesome in that video.

I just love Quinn Fabray. I love her name, I love her looks, I love her progress from head cheerleader to glee club lackey. Not really loving her personal development storyline though, but you gotta give and take. Haha. I also love her transition from always wearing the cheerleader uniform to always wearing flowing gowns/skirts to school. (What kinds of school is this!?)

And she's my age actually. HAHAHAHAHA! Despite the fact of how young she looks in the cheerleader's uniform. ^^;;

Rachel's Don't Rain On My Parade


This was awesoommee!!! I mean, wow!!! Really, wow!!! That last note was... O.o

I only wish American Idol was this showy. At least last week's episodes anyway. I dunno about this week's one, haven't watch today's one. XD

But Rachel isn't really my favorite character. Haha. She's okay, but just not my favorite character. XD

Glee is a good show though. I went back for the CNY holidays and when I turned on the TV, I was thinking what kind of stupid show is this? And proceeded to watch a marathon of it. ^^;;;

It's corny, it's story is kinda overboard, it's showtuney, it's a bit over the top in general. But I totally enjoyed it! It's just one of those shows which I don't need to think at all when watching and add to that every few minutes or so you get an awesome performance! XD

I want to say it's like "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" and "Barney & Friends" rolled into one. The angst of teenage emotions and the gleefulness and tunes of a big fat purple dinosaur. XD

Avril Lavinge - Alice


Don't really like the song. May take more than one listening to get into it. But it's the theme for Time Burton's Alice in Wonderland. ^^

The A-Team Trailer


Stupid trailer. But the ending was epic! XD

~ Bring Down the Dollhouse ~

Was thinking about it yesterday and I thought that the Dollhouse is sorta the exact opposite of the army's system. The army takes individuals and gives them codenames to make them unidentifiable over radio chatter (Yes, I am making this up as I go along), while in Dollhouse actives are given individual characteristics for engagements.

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I'm tired and sleepy and I have to go out later. ^^

Anyway, Josh Whedon is a genius! I mean okay, so the entire thing was kinda boring in the beginning and it picked up in the middle and came to an explosive conclusion at the end. It was interesting how it turned out. And it is just painfully obvious that had he been given the time and faith, the show could've turned into something special. It already had a few whiffs of that with the blockbuster action episode "Epitaph" and a few in the mid season 2 episodes and also with "Epitaph 2: The Return".

The thing I was thinking was that the ending showed hope and redemption. Hope for those who had their lives taken away. Redemption for everyone who did things that were morally inaccurate. The clean slate thing was a nice touch. If only we all can have a second chance at this messy complicated thing we all call life. (As my lecturer says week in week out: "Life is complicated!")

And I don't get to see Eliza Dushku! Or Dietar Lahman (I have no idea how to spell her name... I go check...) sorry, Dichen Lachman anymore! Boo hoo!

It's too bad the show got cut off before it could become great. But I guess that's the problem. People don't like to wait for things to become great. They want it to be superb coming out of the gate. And how many things can do that?
