The "I Suck Big Time" Thing
Wednesday, January 30, 2008
- 8:09 PM
It's downright depressing when someone like Mr. A is put in stark contrast to myself. As much as I ought NOT to feel vindictive about this wonderful man who is being endowed with all the best things in life, his near perfection in certain aspects which I truly lack but choose not to speak of here does make me want to jump off my roof (not).
Too many wants and desires make Eddie a pathetic worthless soul.
(Why am I even comparing myself to something/someone so far fetched?!)
Well, I thought it wouldn't harm to cry for a bit of attention...
Moving on, Joey posted some new photos shot with his girlfriend that really makes one envious of. Joey and Cacherel had better get married in future else I will feel terribly bad for them because they really make a match!
Office just came in a new temp aka eyecandy lately and it's making me chirpy!
Okay I know my writings are getting lots of whimsy lately and I am trying hard to suppress it and come up with something more hard and of substance for people to read on...but clearly this is failed attempt #12164504461...

The Mist: And What I Have To Say Part II
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
- 10:35 PM
I think I need to shed some light on The Mist and rebuke what WG has to say about the film because I feel that his take on some parts that were taken off the surface of the story lightly isn't quite doing justice to the producer and King along with their actual intention(s) of having the plot progress in such a manner - that is, if I am reading them correctly.
Of course we are entitled to our own voice and opinion, but I beg to impose mine on others! (evil laughs)
I don't know which part of the scene should make anyone think that the cast can't act because as far as I know, most of them aren't amateur artistes. A few to name, Thomas Jane (from the Punisher if you actually watched, because I didn't =P), Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden (who played the semi-psychotic religious lady, Mrs Carmody) and Laurie Holden (okay maybe she didn't make it that far and I really don't remember she was featured in Fantastic Four). I must applaud Harden's acting that had so much conviction in it...I am sure many of you will agree.
Beyond that, Harden's role as Mrs Carmody was pivotal to elevating the intensity and bringing the story to a new climax. I am sure King didn't put her in the story to smear the impression of religious people because it was quite obvious that her reaction to the calamity that was befalling was largely due to stark paranoia and her unstable psychotic condition. Mrs Carmody, in the story, became the catalyst to turn people away from rationality and run to take sides with religion. Eventually, they took on a blind approach to what they conceived something "safer" and "more superior" because of what they couldn't explain and largely because of fear alone. But we all know that the people were oblivious to the insanity they were driven into by Mrs Carmody and her deceitful preachings. Soooo, if Mrs Carmody did induce mixed feelings -to drive you as close as to being infuriated, sad or intimidated (not madness I hope), then King has certainly achieved his aim.
It's the grim cynical sadistic notions that leave us readers(or in this context viewers) paralyzed and depressed which King intends to draw satisfaction from I think.
The whole idea of how humanity has sunken and "nothing is left but death" really send chills down one's spine. And the ending with a climatic sadistic twist to the whole feeling of everything being lost really makes you want to puke - like life is a fucking joke on you! And by doing that, Frank Darabont's (the director/producer) ingenious remake of the ending to find something darker and more depressing than death really wins the game afterall.
There's too many thing to explore about in this film which I clearly don't have time now to expound into...you can read it up on forums or online reviews. But my point is that you'd have to stay as an avid sensible viewer and watch it discreetly from a literary perspective.
This is no mere commercial film you can watch while munching over popcorn and forget the whole damn story, reflections my friends!
Okay to each beauty in the eye of the beholder, cheers!

The Mist
Monday, January 28, 2008
- 11:33 PM
A well-balanced film, I think, should have a good structured plot and a strong cast. The Mist, bestowed the "best horror film of 2007", was a fairly pleasant movie for me last night. It's an horror film adapted from an 80s' novella, Stephen King's The Mist; and I think the producer of this film has done a brilliant job in recreating and bringing back the charms the novella could have done (I must admit I haven't read the book but if it's from the master of horror King himself, then it's only right you should be expecting something good).
It's well tailored to suit most picky moviegoers, there's helluva good scare and a well backed story to keep you at the end of your seat. Visual treats like reasonable CGI effects and a powerful cinematography layered across the story really elevate the entire experience. The storyline boosts a few strong themes -one of which I like the most is the idea of how our inner monsters manifest in face of fear.
I must concur with WG about the mediocre acting which was probably the ONLY thing lacking in the entire film. On the contrary to what was said about the ending, from what I read from reviews, the film version had it revised. And I thought it was great! It couldn't have had a better ending because I thought it was concluded in a very neat literary fashion. No spoilers from me, so I am keeping mum...

Content Advisory: WATCH AT OWN RISK!
Sunday, January 20, 2008
- 12:43 PM
I am doing a big deed here as I feel strongly compelled and obligated as a fellow cinemagoer to be telling you NOT TO WATCH Cloverfield because it sucked the living hell out of almost everyone who watched it! Me included.
Clearly a "Blair Witch Project" wannabe but a disastrous attempt at that because the whole videocamming thing kept dragggggging and dragggggingggg endlessly, and all you see is a futile dumbfuck rescue mission (like duh from the start!). A few guys dashed for the nearest exit from the cinema halfway because the film was really a pain for anyone to sit through (okay, I admit I happen to be the remaining few dumbfucks who stayed behind to go through the entire ordeal).
The monster looks like a cross between Godzilla and the korean monster from "The Host" but the whole cursed storyline chose not to divulge its hidden origin.
I don't know whether it was the right choice to stay through the whole movie just to make the ticket price worthwhile but I only remember feeling groggy and nauseous after coming out of the cinema theatre.

Okay I know there are mixed reactions to this film...on the other end of the spectrum, there are people like WG who recommends it. (thought bubble: sadistically cruel to recommend this kind of crap to friends, as good as throwing them off the edge of a cliff)

Latest Lust

Untitled
- 9:58 PM
Oscillation in life hasn't been very drastic lately and I'm seriously lacking the drive to take on the next step. And work life is becoming so routine I am beginning to find myself lost on a weekend when work isn't on the agenda list.
I'm just a money generating machine. Work to survive, survive to work. How pathetic is that!
I'm just whining because I'm trying to kill time waiting to go for supper on an empty stomach after skipping dinner. Went down to Mine's Saloon today and was hopeful (prior the haircut) for a new look with all the hairstylists' magic fingers and scissors, but the results did not turn out as optimistic as it should have been and I have been treated with atrocious customer service.
That said, Jo called and I have to make a move now.
Someone please jio me out soon before I rot into a piece of carcass.

Yay, a splendid reunion that came really timely! Only it was marred by a downpour and a few missing people in the link - where are you guys!?
Jo came back from the states; I finally saw Mel after two complete years. 04A11 is surely missed!
The baked rice Lopo's mommy made was the star dish for the evening, hurrays to mushrooms!

My pretty Woooooon.
Eh finally mastered the intricate skill of blurring/sharpening pics, nice hor. 
"shiroio-something something" - JS, this was meant for you for Christmas! But I waited so long I had to share it with my friends, see what you have just missed out on!
Favourite photo of this entry!

We want to be owners of our lives.
We want to be the magnified giants of ourselves.
We want to be significant in the eyes of someone else.
And along the way we lose ourselves.
(P.S. Photos at Lopo to be up tomorrow I promise. I am too tired to talk, signing out)

Skinny Jeans On Your Fat Thighs
Wednesday, January 09, 2008
- 10:02 PM
I haven't been very tactful with time after work lately and it's quite unbecoming of me. But I hope to crawl out of this viscous cycle soon, with certain luck.
I am in a fashion dilemma at the current stage, not knowing whether skinny jeans are exactly cut out for me or not. I think it reeks femininity but on the other hand it can be uber metrosexual and chic if worn appropriately on the right person at the right occasion.

A Lot Like Love, Maybe Not.
Sunday, January 06, 2008
- 10:21 PM
Today I met a friend who finally beared the same sentiments as I have had on a seldom mentioned topic in a relationship- yeah, you might have guessed, the falling out part. It is not easy having to tide through the ups and downs in a relationship, but I think the most arduous ,and definitely, painful part is having to pull through failure at the end of the journey no matter how long.
Like we'd expect the whole relationship thing to work out until everything falls apart and we'd just pray silently that either party has a valid reason in mind , say, a third party in the picture, miscommunication, or some unsolved vendetta that erupted eventually.
But it really KILLS when one hears from the other half something like, "I'm not sure about my feelings for you anymore" or "I don't know why we became an item from the start". Like it's probably the most god-damn vicious ludicrous joke played that caught you so unaware.
That's when the truth is so hard to bear, you'd wish it's the last thing you heard from him/her because deep down you know it's so fucking not making sense anymore and you'd wish a million times that it was a just a white STUPID lie.
Why am I sounding so angst-y like I am stuck in a similar situation, you ask? It's because I have been through this myself and I know how much it hurts. But I had to reiterate the process and share some experience for the betterment of humanity (yeah right, you know I'm lying right?).
Wounds hurt, but it has to be treated. Crying over it isn't gonna help a tad. And even if scars were to leave behind, we won't look back and regret the done, because we cherish every single memory - bitter, sweet, happy and sad! It just makes us stronger than the emotionally-fragile chaps we once were. And NO, I am not trying to make cliche "words of wisdom" for the day...I mean every word I say.
Like I'd look back at my past relationship and knowing it has been a painful past doesn't make it taboo to talk about or anything. Because it has made me a better person and sometimes I'd secretly pray that my ex is watched over - like I want to be the special guardian angel. Reminiscing the good'o memories do make me tear sometimes undeniably, and I'd want to be a better person because of my ex.
Then there's the flip side of love that brings about something nasty but ironically bitterly sweet (yet it does sound a bit warped whenever I think about it) - that is, hatred. I wrote a short musing about it some time ago and recollecting what I've wrote, I think no one should hate anyone just because feelings have died on either party and it ends up becoming a one-sided love. Because trust me, it must have been a torture for the other half as well, having to admit to the emotional crime he/she made- that is, being confronted by the sudden realisation that the feelings they have used to had for each other just didn't feel genuine anymore.

That's the unconcievably less ideal side of love we seldom hear about. Welcome.
Love isn't exactly something substantial and no one talks about "happily ever after" these days, it's like a puff of smoke that dissipates in a second but it is exactly the spontaneous capricious nature of love that drives people so crazy about. Because isn't this what life is all about?! To be passionate and so fanatic about almost everything (but definitely not anyone) under the sun, it's that burning ardent desire that drives us, that keeps us moving...
I remember something I've been discussing with a friend about some time ago, that is, to keep being hopeful and embracing what we have. One has to stay hopeful, because it is hope that keeps us alive...so keep believing in fairytale like love because...because WE JUST HAVE TO.
I don't really know where this entry should be driving this point henceforth, but I have to leave it quite abruptly as it is(because I need to catch up on my sleep and prepare for work tomorrow lah!).

The one crazy bitch we all love!JDMA's latest episode on Janice bitching her client in the face really made me laughed my head off. It's a bit unprofessional to talk bad about your clients already, and she's doing it blatantly in their faces! God damn hilarious. Can't wait for the next episode to be streamed online.
In the meantime, life's pretty much the same for me at work and things are patching up back to the way they have been. I have mended my little broken social relationships with a couple of people and missing people in the link are all back in my life miraculously. I have one or two things to lament about, but life still goes on.
I still think my mom is ten times hotter than her! Moms are the best!

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't mad with you for what you did, whether or not it was deliberate. We've been through so much but to have you to think that I can let go something so seemingly trivial on the outside would be terribly foolish.
You really hurt me bad this time.
All I asked for was an apology and that you'd come clean with me, but I guess this is not the case.
I've poured out all my emotions lately till a point in time I'm feeling nothing but void inside.
And it hurts.
I don't want to bleed a second time.
