500 Days of Summer
Summer is my kind of girl.
The kind of girl I want to love if I were a guy, the kind of girl I want to be - independent, carefree, spontaneous, quirky yet cute.
I loved the show so much because I thought Zooey Deschanel was beautiful in there. Her dressing, her portrayal of the free-spirited Summer.
And I thought she got Love right.
Love is so unpredictable.
Someone can love you so much, put so much effort in it, but if you don't feel it, you don't feel it.
You can't force love.
It comes, or it doesn't.
I love how Love is portrayed as something spontaneous, something that just happens in the movie.
And fate? Coincidence? Who knows?
But I personally feel that they do play a part in Love.
Love comes in different forms. Tom loved Summer, and maybe Summer did love him the same way for awhile, but it quickly changed to something more platonic.
I think Love is special that way.
When you meet someone, and that person brings out that kind of love, the one that is raved about so much, I guess that's when you can fully commit yourself to loving that person.
Just like Summer did.
I feel sad for Tom not getting the girl of his dreams.
But I think those emotions came about only because it was shown in his point of view.
Ultimately, love is a battlefield.
There'll be other people fighting for the person you love.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Other than that, the movie was really nicely shot and produced.
I loved the thought and creativity that went into it.
I loved how it was timeless - it seemed current, yet from some time ago. No years were mentioned yet you know that no matter when it happened, it is so applicable to today.
I loved the scrolling through time, back and forth.
I loved how the lighting throughout was warm and the shots had sepia tones to it.
I loved Summer's wardrobe - vintage skirts.
I loved the little drawings here and there.
And I'm such a sucker for non-contemporary love stories.

Girls I'll be lesbian for.
- 1. Meredith Kerr - Her dance moves are so hot. And which heart won't melt with that smile?
2. Melissa Theuriau - French accent fullstop. Oh, and the obvious pretty face.
Ok, for now just those two.

"I CANNOT WAIT!"
- She screamed ala Charlotte in Clip 1 of Trailers and Videos on the SATC website.
The theme song is ringing in my ear and I feel like re-watching the series all over again!
But no, Cassandra, NO!
Haha!
There's a new trailer too, following the one released last year
p/s: the songs are great too!
Playing: India Arie - Heart of the Matter
I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Hello Weekend!
- I know, I know, it's 5am.
My whole body clock has gone hay-wire!
In the words of Tim Two from last sem, in Teochew, "Day become night, night become day!"
I watched PS I Love You, finally!
Such a good movie!
The typical kind of movie I like.
You know, nothing else except LOVE LOVE LOVE.
The male lead doing sweet things for his girl.
Explosion of feelings here and there.
And great songs. I'll love you till the end...
The whole show is so heart-warming and heart breaking - all at the same time.
It's scientifically impossible, just like the phrase "You make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time." which sounds so cliche already, but it's just all these emotions arrive together and makes whatever you're feeling hard to describe.
The Irish lads were so hot.
I think I have a thing for Irish guys.
First the Irish guy from Heroes Season 2 that got killed too soon. =(
Then the two Irish men in the movie - her husband and his bestfriend.
And I'm starting to think that the Irish accent is quite charming.
Though French still takes the number 1 spot.
I like the part where they first met.
In the park where she was lost.
That is the dream aye? Meet and fall in love with a stranger in a foreign land, far far away.
Ok, my dream at least.
One day I'll wander off to those French suburbs and hope to find the same.
Throughout the show, I was just so touched by the plan Jerry made.
All the letters and arrangements for Holly after he died.
Joanna and I were discussing about it.
We thought that it's nice to have something related to him to hold onto.
And it makes it seem like he's still around.
But there has to be a day when they all stop.
Won't it be harder to let go then?
Would it be simpler to just move on, there and then and live with it?
The part where she kept listening to his voicemail just to hear his voice was so sad.
Anyhow, if that ever happened to me, I don't think I know how to get by.
Oh well, watching the movie made me want to read the book even more.
And I'm sure, as with all book-based movies, I'll be in for something much better.

One Tree Hill
- I'm hooked again.
Re-hooked.
Anyway I thought what Brooke said to Lucas when she passed him the letters were so touching.
Season 3 Episode 9.
Oh btw, that episode rocked because the two couples got back together. =)
"There are 82 letters in here, and they're all addressed to you. I wrote them all this summer, one a day but I never sent them because I was afraid. I was afraid of getting my heart broken again, like before. Cos you hurt me so bad and I was afraid to be vulnerable. And I was afraid of you and the way you made me feel. And I know that doesn't matter now after what I did. But I just thought that you should know. This was how I spent my summer, Luke, wanting you. I was just too scared to admit it."

Playing: Timbaland and One Republic - Apologize
- I like the video! The shots are so nicely done.
Done by Aaron Platt.
I'm going to check out his other videos.
(Updated 6 March:) I made a collage of the few that I like and it's my current desktop wallpaper.
It took me about an hour and now I can't stop staring at my desktop. =)
But the video clips are even nicer!
(Updated 10 March:) Oh chey, this is the original video...
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new - yeah
Oh, Persis and I were singing along to the MTV when a cockroach disrupted us today!
Char W cleverly took a video with us frantically screaming, trying to do Idon'tknowwhat and the music playing in the background.
It's so funny!

Youtubing at 6am
- Today is my first day of unemployment since I started temping during the holidays.
And while I had so much difficulty with waking up mildly early for work (7.45am), I awoke with ease at freaking 6am this morning.
And I decided to go back to my slacker-ways immediately.
I chanced upon these cute videos on Youtube!
This for my girl Melody! Imma take you home with me!
Her facial expressions and head movements are so cute!
HAHA but oh so poor thing. Imagine the fear.

Ellen's 50th Birthday Video!
- A few past guests on her show put together this video, singing along to I Will Survive.
It's so cute.
I especially loved watching Jake Gyllenhaal, Heidi Klum, Queen Latifah and Victoria Beckham.
Haha, check it out!

I'm a dreamer, waiting for the sun...
- Playing: Jamie Scott & The Town - When Will I See Your Face Again
You know that all my life I’ve been waiting
Waiting for some, someone like you to love me
You can’t come by like an angel, into my life
And then fly away
Fly away
When will I see your face again
I wanna see you once in my life
When will you touch my life again
Wanna see you twice in my life
When will I breathe you in again
I think I love you
Will I see your face again

The Orange Carpet and the Pianist
- I think the pianist/lead singer looks like Jon Heder/Tom Green. Yeah yeah?
I get to listen to this song about five times a day because we have Class 95 turned on in the office.
Those first few piano notes are so familiar it gets me excited when I hear them.
And it lingers on in my mind for the rest of the day...
Playing: Melee - Built To Last
Cause this is real, and this is good
It warms the inside just like it should
But most of all
Most of all, it's built to last
Walking on the hills at night
With those fireworks and candlelight
You and I were made to get love right

Playing: Christina Aguilera - Save Me From Myself
- Since their earlier years, they've always been put up against each other, compared by critics, for their voice, talent, image, and now, motherhood.
Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are in this race forever.
And it does make comparing more worthy when one girl is doing so much better than the other.
While Britney's life seems messier than ever, Christina's is more perfect than perfect can be.
Anywho, she posted this video on her website and I think the song is so nice! I can't stop listening to it.
And she looks so beautiful on her wedding day.
It's not so easy loving me
It gets so complicated
All the things you've gotta be
Everything's changin
But you're the truth
I'm amazed by all your patience
Everything I put you through
When I'm about to fall
Somehow you're always waitin
with your open arms to catch me
You're gonna save me from myself
from myself, yes
You're gonna save me from myself
My love is tainted by your touch
Cos some guys have shown me aces
But you've got that royal flush
I know it's crazy everyday
Well tomorrow may be shaky
But you never turn away
Don't ask me why I'm cryin
Cos when I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smilin
You always save me from myself
from myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself
I know it's hard, it's hard
But you've broken all my walls
You've been my strength, so strong
And don't ask me why I love you
It's obvious your tenderness
Is what I need to make me
a better woman to myself
to myself, myself
You're gonna save me from myself

I'm done with my Tequilas!
- Yay I've finally finished watching the show.
It's a reality dating show that pits 16 guys and 16 girls against each other for the affections of bisexual Tila Tequila.
Anyway, the show is so crazy. One of a kind.
All the fights and stuff.
Vanessa is one insane manipulative bitch.
I thought Tila had a weird looking face at first but her exotic features kinda grows into you.
And I love Brandi to bits cos she is so gorgeous and so attractive.
And I thought Dani licking the bowl of pie clean was so hot. Haha.
Damn I thought she would pick Dani. It was just so obvious.
She's so sweeeeeeeeeet. And she seems like a silent and strong kinda of lover. Awww..
And I love her dimples!
Then there is Amanda who seems like she can be anyone's best friend. So cute.
And and and Domenico, the Italian guy. Such a joker.
The reunion show was so scary.
What with Vanessa yabbering on and on bullshit.
If I were there you'll be seeing me on Team Brandi.
But I guess it's all in the name of good TV yeah.
They should give Dani her show too!
Gahhh I'm so addicted.
I keep forgetting it's a TV SHOW!
I'm hooked!

AAAAAHH!! REAL MONSTERS!
- I miss watching this show on Nickelodeon
Anyway, I met the REAL monster yesterday morning.
I was putting on my make up when I felt something around my toes.
I looked down and there was his freakingly huge cockroach.
Thank goodness Nick was awake and came to my rescue the moment I screamed.
While he sprayed it with Sheltox I couldn't stop hopping, my feet disgusted at the unbearable fact that a cockroach touched it.
Then Nick took Syluie's Bio text and threw it right on the stupid creature.
Oh the irony. The book about living things and such brought the cockroach to its death.
It took the courage of three to retrieve the carcass, though a large part of the undertaking job was done by Nick.
Lifting up the once-important-now-disgusting text book and sweeping the smashed body into the bin.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
I hate cockroaches!
And now I cannot stop thinking of them crawling around.
They've been traumatising me all through my life.
Once, one of them hid in my shoe and I didn't know till I WALKED WITH IT DOWNSTAIRS.
I got so terrified when I saw feelers in my shoe after feeling something moving.
I left my shoes downstairs, ran up barefooted and asked my Dad to "GET IT OUT FOR ME!!!".
The funny part was seeing him run down wearing my mother's heels cos we were in such a hurry.
HAHAHAHA!!
Anyway, this is silly but a note to my tiny enemies:
You stop fornicating!!!!!
16 babies come out of you each time and it's not like we need or want anymore of you around!
In the meantime while the no-mating thing commences, don't be stupid and go hide in your hell hole.
As long as they are not in my house.
If you're out of sight, you save your own life and a lot of trouble for us humans.
Oh and a word of advice, approach campfires when you see one to experience what your life will be like when you die!
Please pass on the word to your other friends, you bitch!

Playing: Jason Mraz - Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many,
Songs about rainbows,
And what's on the other side.
Rainbows are visions,
But only illusions,
Rainbows have nothing to hide.
What's so amazing,
That it keeps us star gazing,
And what do they think we might see.
Oh, someday we'll find it,
The Rainbow Connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

- I love this version a lot!
And Love Actually is one of my favouritest movies ever.
And Thomas Sangster is so adorable.
The little drummer boy.
Haha!
I just want you for my own
more than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
all I want for Christmas is you
I surfed on and found this!
So sweet!
I like the electric guitarist's part!
And this!
My favourite story in the show.
Sigh..

5 days to Christmas and here's some lovin'.
- Mike proposes to Phoebe.
Mike: I love you.
Phoebe: I love you more.
Mike: Not possible.
Awwwww..
I got this phrase from a kiddy story book Joey read (on Emma's birthday):
"I love you forever, I like you for always, as long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be"

Chandler is my best Friend!
Monica and Mike are having a table tennis battle.
Mid-battle,
Mike: Gamepoint.
Monica: Don't get too cocky. Remember I won the last one. By the way, how did that feel losing to a girl?
Mike: You know you should really look at yourself in the mirror before you call yourself that.
Mike scores and,
Chandler: Okie dokie. You've each won a game and I've lost what's felt like a year of my life. Everybody goes home a winner.
Monica (ignoring Chandler): Best out of three?
Mike: That's what I'm thinking.
Chandler (ponders): Should I use my invisibility to fight crime or for evil?
Chandler tries to get Monica and Mike to stop playing again.
Mike: Okay, it's tied again. 41 to 41.
Chandler: Okay look, enough is enough!
Monica: No I just have two more points to beat him.
Chandler: Monica that was also true an hour ago!
Please, look at you. Your hand is blistered, you can barely stand, your hair is inexplicable!
Pheebs, talk to Mike. Help me out.
Phoebe: Mike, you win this, you will get the best sex you've ever had in your whole life.
Chandler (ponders again): I say to fight crime.
Then Monica injures herself.
Chandler offers to take over when Monica rejects.
Monica: Honey you don't have to do that.
Chandler: Yes I do. Now I cannot understand why you have to win so bad. But if it's important to you, then it's important to me too. Cos I love you.
Monica: But, you suck.
Chandler: You're welcome, sweetheart.
So Chandler wins and...
Monica: That was amazing. When did you stop sucking?
Chandler: I never sucked. I just didn't want you to know how good I was.
Monica: Why?
Chandler: I don't know.
Monica: This is so great! Now we can enter the doubles tournament.
Chandler: That's why!
Haha! It's so funny!
Go watch the clip!
