dramas and movies-things i just cant live without~

today, i spent nearly the whole day watching drama-something which is time well spent and something i havent done in a vry vry long time. mentioned in my previous blogs, i finished watching boys over flowers and now im watching a new jap drama that jj recommended. its called 'koizora' and only has 6 episodes,, something i have neva heard of before. the style is totally random and different but is rlly sweet and gets straight to the point.

at first, its just a nice little highschool love story, but wen it starts getting serious, the deep emotions kick in. its pretty sad but in a way that makes u feel for the characters. im up to the 5th episode and im planning to continue watching it afta this blog as there seems to b nothing else to occupy my attention 4 the night o.o the theme song, 'ai no uta', is rlly nice too. its sung by a jap lady and the music is flowy and gentle, even sad-but i thought it was rlly nice so i downloaded it. i often do that-download songs from dramas or movies i rlly like, even animes.

listening to the songs after the drama or waterva has ended can bring bak the emotions asociated with the song at the time it was played or simply b a great new discovery. im also making it a goal to finish watching '1 litre of tears' sometime, as everyone whos watched it tells me how great it is. i like sad movies/dramas cos the more they can make u cry or stir emotions, the beta thhey are. thats my policy. so i dont mind if its sad, itll stay with me longer and i learn things from it.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON.






IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME. i rest my case. hi gary ^^ *wave

but srsly, i was trying to hold the tears in, until the very end and i just couldnt hold it. i guess it had an especially big impression on me cos there was a dancer in it. ppl who no me no that i luv to dance, ppl who rlly no me no that its a massive part of my life and they no its my first love.

weeeeeeeell i thought the dancing in that movie was rlly beautiful, can kate blanchett rlly dance like that? 4 those who've seen the movie, i loved that part wen kate dances on that podium thing in the middle of the night and she does this incredible move where she slowly raises one leg and lifts it to one side while the moonlight silhouetted her in that flowy dress. god i luv that scene...

aaaaaaaanyway, if i keep going on about dancing and that movie, ill get all emotional-and u dont want that do u? lol

well-ive realized now that my taste in movies is slightly different to most ppl. i mean i like the ones that other ppl like but some of the ones i rlly luv other ppl would neva watch.

my list of amazing movies, in no particular oder:
-the curious case of benjamin button (of course)
-titanic (absolute classic, how can that no b on my list???)
-a beautiful mind (this was my first tase or russel crowe, he rlly surprised me with his talent)
-happy feet (srsly its a good movie, not joking, it rlly got me emotional :) )
-return to brideshead
-the myth (jackie chan movie, but its rlly gud and not those cheesy funny ones he usually does nowadays)
-forrest gump (that was rlly inspirational...)
-V for Vendetta (kinda scary at parts but rlly oroginal)
-spirited away
-holws moving castle

and heaps more but i cbb to remember. watch them if u have time and tell me how u like them ^^

mmm yummmy~ i just had 3 minute noodles 4 breakfast-shoyu flavour ^^ omg now i want that cookie hes eating >.>

i dont actually have anything to say-i usually dont-but i thought id try and get unbored o.o its 10:04 am and there are 8 ppl on msn, 2 of which are those robot things like the one called smarterchild.

omg last night i finished watching bbf-boys before flowers, the drama heaps of ppl in my group are crazy over. *sigh jihoo looks so cute in glasses ^^ anyway, the ending was kinda weird but it was good. the main guy, goo jyun pyo, looks nicer with his slightly shorter hair, why didnt he get it cut earlier??? i think theyre gonna make a sequel XD

also, i hafta say, facebook is boring. i made an account and i neva went on it-i forgot my detailso.o bebo is way more azn~ and wats with myspace? the first time i went on it i thought i was on the wrong site cos the homepage was so ugly == wats with the blue-ness??? at least get a nicer layout.

omg i just remembered bout that art comp! noooooooo i havent started all ive dont is a tiny pencil sketch :( if i do it right it should b pretty, but i doubt i will == i still hafta go down to the beach 2 take pics and 'absorb the essence of manly'-since the theme is manly. wat a gay theme. *sigh and that frikin canvas is so small, its about the size of a textbook for gods sake!

ok im gonna go do something else and hopefully forget bout all that. :D the process could be sped up much faster if more ppl could just get on msn ==

last day of term~

i haven't been around 4 a day or 2 and THREE ppl have gone overseas?! omg i feel so abandoned
:'(

*sigh o well-have fun

wat does monetize mean? and who is 'shopper-mania'?
ive been at home and reading the day away, im amazed at myself. i was gonna call my auntie in china 2 chat but my frikin wireless handheld home fone-which had been charging all day and nite-ran out of battery half an hour afta i picked it up == i hate that stupid fone...

i can talk to my auntie like a friend and i call her on days like today, usually wen im sick and bored or just want some1 to talk to. she usually always has something to say and is rlly a kid at heart ^^ shes so easy to talk to and i dont no any other adult like her. i mean-she owns a nintendo ds and downloads drama off the net i think thats pretty kewl for an adult lol.

*sigh-i feel rlly lucky to know some1 like her-i can say anything to her and she would always listen to me, she neva got mad and she always would advise me according to how i felt. she introduced me to that drama boys before flowers and she rlly luvs it 2. my auntie is so kewl :)

another topic completely-i RLLY just hate how the computer goes 'a jack has been unplugged' wen i pull out earphones or a mic. i mean-I KNOW for gods sake == stop telling me these things and do something useful! stupid computer...

im listening to the song 'fall for you' by secondhand serenade-its such a gud song and the lyrics r so sweet

"cos tonight will be the night that i will fall for you,
over again, dont make me change my mind
or i wont live to see another day,
i swear its true,
because a girl like you is impossible to find"

...music has such a strong effect on me, it can make me all moody, make me wanna dance, make me wanna tell someone everything i feel, make me wanna sit and watch the clouds drift by or just make me happy :)

omg the song im listening 2 now is one 1 got off marias playlist-'one more time' by shinhwa. its rlly nice and the few english lines there are in it are rlly sweet:

"gimme one more chance to be a better man,
ill promise u that ill do all i can,
and i want you to understand,
jsut take my hand..."

^^

ok now my bro is pushing me off the comp-ive gotta end this blog. bb and happy holidays!

consumerism and advertising

ok well 4 english we had 2 write a speech and i picked the topic consumerism and advertising. it was actually pretty interesting seeing ppls views and blogs bout it-saying how nowadays ppl judge the value of other ppl by wat they have and dont have and not by who they are. of course this is not true 4 every1 but it is to an extent.

i have to admit im pretty hypocrytical cos i mean i CONSUME. but it seemed like an easy topic XP keep in mind that wat im gonna say i agree with, even tho im i am like a total consumer lol.

if u think about it-all advertisers do is make up fancy gimmicks and ads to attract ppl with things that society deems acceptable and that half the time they dont even need. they suck ppl in with their over exagerated-ness of everything and force an idea that not only does their product actually work, but its worth buying over all the other identical copies out there. I MEAN COKE AND PEPSI R THE SAME! ppl just choose to favouritize brands depending on the degree of brainwashing-ness used in the ad.

i mean how many times have YOU been affected by impluse shopping-bought something in the moment and then regretted it later? THAT is the power of advertising! (sorry if im scaring u but the articles i read had rlly gud points and im a sharer kinda person :D)

now, advertisments are not only advertising new products-but they are advertising a whole new way of life-like 'if u buy this ull look like her!' (like that overfident girl and her legs in the ad we analyzed in english mentioned in chias blog) the scary thing is that sometimes it actually works and we end up buying the stupid product. a perfect example is that new neutrogena wave thing-apparnatly all it does is vibrate on ur skin.

as i sed in my speech being part of the 'in' crowd feeds ppls self-esteem, making them happy. this is achieved by buying stuff-but wat happens wen we c something we rlly rlly rlly rlly rlly want but its too expesive? or it hasnt come out in australia yet? or ur underage? (lol) this drives us further to want wateva we wanted and boosts cravings to get it.

uuuuuuuugh ok-my little rant is over lol it was the longest blog ive written i think. im proud ^^
