So I just devoured one mini-bottle of Nestle Pops in less than 6 minutes, and CAN I JUST SAY HOW GOOD THEY TASTE? It's actually my first time, and I just bought it because I got curious. Of course I had to eat dinner (rice, etc.) before I could actually grab my hands on them, and I just let stand in the corner while I was eating my meal. So when I started biting them, the vanilla ice cream inside was already melted... BUT STILL, IT TASTES REALLY GOOD! I love it! I think this is one of Nestle's best products yet! That, and Maxibon (it's chocolate-coated vanilla ice cream on the other side, and chocolate-sandwiched cookies and cream ice cream on the other)! I LOVE IT AND I'M CRAVING FOR MORE! Then again, it's weird that everyone's been telling me how THIN I look right now. I mean, I just pigged out last weekend! I guess my body is still, what, scarred from my very stressful week last week that it hasn't gone back to it's normal physique/size. Then again, I don't feel thin or fat. As long as I still get to eat whatever I want and people see me thin, then I think it's fine. Or whatever.
Anyway, my friend SIEGE IS NOW AN ARCHITECT! The results of the recent Architecture Board Exams just came out, and he passed! It's all so weird because I was only a freshmen then when he was still in fifth year. He was the president of ADT (Arki Dance Troupe) during that time. That same time/semester they recruited me as an extra for a dance competition, I was still fresh from the first (and last) Arki Fashion Show (
skylites, you know this one too well HAHAHA!) then. I remember he was still rendering his boards (airbrush!) and finishing his books during our rehearsals. YAY! It won't be long 'til I will take that exam as well... if I decide to get my license here. I mean, I have the option not to. We'll see.
Ugh. I've got to get a head start on my article. How do you start writing about film + comic book + fantasy/fictional architecture? It's my assignment for the issue we're planning to release on November/December. I already did part of my research by: [1] Watching Blade Runner, Metropolis, Dark Knight, and Gotham Knight; [2] Reading Watchmen, Kingdom Come, The Art of Batman Begins, The Art of Star Wars: Revenge of The Sith. I'm also reading some material related to the topic that are found in the internet but I don't know... I still lack resources. There's this book Film Architecture in the library but it's nowhere to be found in the inventory/directory. It's good that mine is a co-writing assignment so it'll be easier. Plus, my co-writer's quite knowledgeable with these things it shouldn't be hard for us to put it all together. But the thing is, he's also busy with other things I'm doing the initial inputs, and he'll be doing some additional ones once we progress. *crosses fingers* I can feel another hell week coming up. Wish me luck. I've been having a hard time getting swatches/material samples for my interior plate. The suppliers/home depots are bitches! They won't give me samples, not even brochures! I don't know why. I guess I'm going to the wrong places for that, or maybe I should show more bitchy-i'm-a-highly-renowned-freelance-i nterior-designer attitude?! Mmmm... It's gonna be a loaded weekend! AAAH!
In other news, our next plate is by group. Honestly, I really don't like working with a group. The most I can go for is by pair, but even having a partner can be a pain-in-the-bump sometimes. I like working ALONE in a room WITH someone, not working WITH someone! It'll be good... I know it will be... because it has to be.

I came across
skylites' entry, and I couldn't help but think of a really, really sad break-up song. When it comes to sad, emotionally stabbing, and heart wrenching songs about love or relationships, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie/Postal Service can write songs with that kind of message and make it sound good and bearable with the melody and the lyrics. Still, his songs, if I'm feeling it, can really break me into ugly crying.
I think the saddest break-up song/video I've heard/seen that he wrote/from them is What Sarah Said. Well it's the music video actually that foretells the song's message, but through a different interpretation/storyline. Then again, as each descending peak, on the LCD, took you a little farther away from me and who's gonna watch you die? lines do give little hints about breaking up or being separated from someone. Though, this is one song I can never stop listening to. Some of Joy Division's songs fit in as well, especially Love Will Tear Us Apart:
And then there's the unrequited love song. I have two: Perfect by Smashing Pumpkins, and Lovefool by The Cardigans.
And then finally, there's NEW LOVE. I simply like the early stages of flirting. I find it cute. I like observing a progress or development of a relationship. Daft Punk's Digital Love fits perfectly in this category, and I can't think of any other song to define the sound of falling in love once again. EW. Ooh I don't know what to do, About this dream and you, I wish this dream comes true...
I have a couple more songs from Interpol, Placebo, and some other bands actually, but I'm just posting the ones that I just listened to. I don't want to indulge and ponder on LOVE too much as of the moment. HAHAHA!
I had a pretty lovely weekend though, and all I can sing to that is this song (major LSS!).

Taking different roads
Then Love, Love will tear us apart again
.
.
.
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
And then there's the unrequited love song. I have two: Perfect by Smashing Pumpkins, and Lovefool by The Cardigans.
I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel that something has been lost
.
.
.
So far I still know who you are
But now I wonder who I was...
- Perfect, Smashing Pumpkins
So I cried, and I begged for you to
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you
- Lovefool, The Cardigans

Heath Ledger... you owned the movie, nobody else.
TOTALLY WORTH IT. If Wanted is the "sexiest" movie of the year, then DK is definitely, undisputedly, without a doubt, the MOVIE OF THE YEAR. I can totally see it coming neck-to-neck with Watchmen (2009) in next year's MTV Movie Awards. LOL. Then again, we'll never know. I mean, Watchmen's trailer alone already makes me want to watch the movie, like, NOW! But yes, the movie was just awesome.
Here are my two-cents (I don't fucking care if it spoils you, you should have seen this movie already since Thursday! wahahaha!):
1.) One admirable aspect of an actor is when he plays a role, the audience forgets the actor but sees a totally different person, a person that you'll really have emotions (like if he's the villain, you'll really hate/get scared of him) for because of the portrayal. Heath Ledger is THAT actor. Of course before the movie even began, I knew it was him playing the Joker. But once I saw the movie, you'd actually forget that he's Heath Ledger, and that's how convincing he was as the Joker (no wonder Caine was blown away by him so much). I mean, Joker could've been some other actor, or you wouldn't even think that it's JUST acting. He was that convincing! That's why I totally believe that he OWNS this movie. Then again, it was an impressive cast. I loved them all. I also loved that they have Maggie Gyllenhall instead of Katie Holmes. Even if her role is minor, you sure won't miss out on her. And can I just say how I also love the fact that Cillian Murphy was there?! Hahaha!
2.) Quotable quotes for the motherfucking WIN!a) "You... you complete me." (Joker to Batman)
b) "I have a magic trick! I'll make this pencil disappear..." (sticks pencil on table, goon goes over him then headbutt's the goon to the pencil) "There!" (pencil definitely disappears). This one was the total L.O.L.
c) "Stalking 30 million people is not part of my job description!" (Fox, played by Morgan Freeman, to Batman about using his software/program to track the Joker)
He had a bunch more good lines, but these were the ones that were really LMAO! hahaha!
( Seven more under the cut! )
The best thing about the movie though was that it wasn't your typical superhero movie. It was more on the crime-drama-action side. It was... pretty dark and I loved every moment of it!
Over all, I'd rate Dark Knight... 9.89 out of a 10. Why not a perfect 10?! Because it was... bitin. Seriously, it didn't feel like 3 hours. It felt more like an hour an 15 minutes to an hour and a half. I guess it's true when you're enjoying moment, it lasts very quickly. But hey, I loved it! And it's great that I got to watch it after a very, very, very hell week in school. Great way to cap off my weekend... and maybe my turning 20. :)
- Mood:
happy
I'm watching Dark Knight in a couple of hours, and I'm still having this Watchmen movie trailer hangover! HAHAHA! But I'm very much excited with DK. First time I'll be watching something in iMAX. I hope it's worth my 350 (multiplied by three---because I'm treating two other people) bucks!
Also, can I just say how Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Denny Duquette, Grey's Anatomy) looks like Robert Downey Jr. in the trailer?!? Only he's hotter. HAHAHA! And the Smashing Pumpkins song is stuck in my head! I'M FEELING IT, PEOPLE! I'M FEELING IT!
GOD IT FEELS GREAT TO BE DONE WITH THAT PLATE HOTEEEEEEELLLLuh!
