wow me

i'd hate to be melodramatic .. but above all, i'm getting this feelin all over again... no it doesnt come that often at all... with life so busy scuttling by.. with what u may ask? beats me sumtimes... Having the ipod on shuffle... having some songs from times past suddenly blasting in.. having old memories released, like encoded in these songs... yes, in fact i think each song is somewhat encrypted with a certain message, a certain mood, a certain memory, a certain special meaning.. unique only to ourselves... well i guess that's how it's like for most of us, no?

this is dejavu all over again... the feeling? the adjectives .. what? unnerving? stagnant? a lil' sweet? somewhat still hopeful? what in the world just went on??? .. and, where the hell was i??

im still here . . .

one from the archive..

Let me count the whys I love thy . . ........................................................................ unpretentious, no hidden agenda, right smack in yer' face! 100% satisfaction, every time, at the simplest (yet) of craving. you never play hard to get, you smother at the very touch of my light.. and when the air is still enough, i see you dance in the night. yes, it's ironic that at most of these times, you are as if a company to my solitary moments.. and never a dull moment too, with you around that is. you just know how to blend so effortlessly well into congregations. into blissful sea-watching afternoons, into drink-or-die nights, into hair-pulling overtimes, wrinkles-inducing trying times, and of course, into near-clocking-out catchin' up hours. the day is still young, for now that is. you are still, unpretentious. take it or leave it. take it, then, live with it.

how close is the moon now?

Japan.. Quake.. Tsunami.. Nuke plants.. Devastation.
the world over is moved and saddened by this unfortunate turn of events.
some pledge their support in every ways thinkable, some poke fun at it with dire consequences.

Me. Read the news and watched some videos over the internet. some things you gotta see for yourself to believe it.
Kept myself updated through the online media. social networks prove sometimes a faster source of info (especially) at times like these.. it's where all sources of news, and hoaxes, are gathered at..


today, through the msn site.. saw this image:


and it struck me immediately, a scene from what i remembered of an animation, japanese nontheless..

"ponyo on the cliff by the sea"

it used to strike me as a peculiar animation this one, with all the cutish-japanesey animations sprouted undoubtedly from amazing imaginations.
but this part here, turns out this did not boil from mere imagination,.. no, not at all.
so this is what the scenes really are like over there, when there are floods of massive magnitudes.

i'm sure, even after all these ... them japanese will be able to pull through and continue to flourish, as they've always did.

Shawshank revisited..

i luv unifi ..

i luv the oscars (a few at least) ..

but most of all, i luv holidays ..

.. fell in love with mr morgan freeman in Shawshank Redemption.. fell in love all over again tonight. not exactly the usual typecasted hero; he had his fears, his 'small' moments.. but most of all i think, i fell for his voice amongst all .. and that quick american slang that he has, playing Red.

and this ..

127 hours ... it began as a solitary pursuit, of freedom unrestricted.

"a man can be himself only so long as he is alone; ... if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." [Schopenhauer, "The World as Will and Idea", 1818]

and this, ironically.. the view from the pit, the bottomest of it all . . .

life's like that i guess ... ~ paradoxical; contradictory, nontheless true.

。。。

how do you get rid of that something?
that issue? that person? that feeling?
that something.. that has been hanging at your sleeves, constantly tugging at your heartstrings for a while now?

they say it's all about timing..
yes, i do think so too. fortunately, and unfortunately too, sometimes..
but most of all, it takes effort too. and the courage. to finally act on it.

stare it in the eye. a dose of whatever-overload almost always does the trick.
decide. and act on it.
let go. move on.


and..... listen to a great song.
:]

moon on the gutter?

in a new twist to the chinese classic tale of zhong wu yan, my conclusion to this version's ending (most duly due to the weak casting!! @#%!):

我本将心向明月, 奈何明月照沟渠 。。。

that's what happens when you favor the love rival more than the main lead.
the end。

eye candy~

streaming is a breeze nowadays.. with Unifi installed for more than a month now at home, i finally am getting the hang of it, and browsed around the internet for watchable dramas. yes, "watchable" dramas, as im sure i've put it before, watching dramas, especially taiwanese ones, is indeed, quite a taxing affair... (needless to say, i try to steer clear of koreans entirely. they belong to a different league altogether...)

taxing. yes.. it does get easier however, if you've decided to latch onto one which is a completed series. else, brace yourself to withstand the perils of waiting for an entire week for the next episode to load after they're done with in taiwan!

Zhong Wu Yan ... i caught hold of this one seeing that it starred Cheryl Yang.. (the chick from Bai Quan) and Mingdao. not really a fan of both, but i thought they'd be worth a try.. since there arent any new ones starring 小天.

indeed... what happens when after more than half of the series, you've firmly established to yourself that the main lead character should go to the guy playing the second lead?

that you seriously, seriously, want the second lead to win the chick's hands instead?

i'd fallen gaga over this new guy. it has come to an extent where i m watching the remaining few episodes just to see how he's going to cope with not getting the chick for himself. that poor sod~

of course, of course, i know .. it's all just dramuh~ and many times, it takes the NG shots they play to make me realize that it's all just a show .. XD

anyhow... this is definitely someone to watch for. Chris Wu. i cant wait until he gets his own main lead drama. i think i've had enough of him playing the second fiddle to the main actresses..

it'd be delicious then ... =]
