Darkness has fallen on the land. Loneliness and sadness reigns over a sad woman trapped in foreign land.

****************************************

In the corner of a cold empty room, the sad woman softly whispers to herself and looks up.

"Why?"

Her sadness unmasks, hot tears burn as they flow down her cold cheeks.

"Not pretty enough? Not slim enough? Too whiny? Too emotional? Too dependant/clingy? Too boring? Too much high maintenance?" Her restless mind offers endless suggestions....

The sad woman mourns the loss of a man she thought she could submit to by God's law. But the submission is with condition. In return, she seeks to be loved and cherished as Christ loved the church.

Was it too much for a woman to desire? The sad woman allows feelings of regrets and degrading thoughts to impress themselves upon her at her weaker and vulnerable moments.

All she can hear is.....

"Not good enough."

All she can hear is.....

"Not good enough."

All she can hear is.....

"Not good enough."

The sad woman shuts her eyes and continues to listen to her broken heart.

Here comes self-pity.

Here comes depression.

Here comes fierce hostility.

Here comes emotional tension.


**********************************************

It is over.

Or is it?

Yesterday, after so many years of ignorance and negligence, I decided to check out what's hot in the music & entertainment area aka top U.S. 40 hits charts.

I'm not too impressed.

Talk about hip-hop/rap/gangta punk overload. What's with all the "Parental advisory : Explicit lyrics?" Eh.....don't get me wrong, I have no problem if some amount of cussing is used to express anger, disappointment and pain but dude, don't overdo it. It gets old quickly.

Bah.

You know, that 'My Humps' by Black Eyed Peas disoriented me a little. I think it's obvious that it has sexual innuendos but I raised my eyebrows with "My lovely lady lumps." My colleagues were laughing thinking that I'm just shy with the subtle sexual meaning but there was silence when I said that the only lady lump I can relate to are breast cancer tumors.

.......

Eh...ok in a more positive light, there are some pretty entertaining songs such as Clint Eastwood (Gorillaz), Leave (Jojo), Stacy's Mom (FOW) and even by the hated-by-all-whiny-and-jealous-men-of-the-world Jesse McCartney <--- (Come on guys, get over it already). He's kinda cute and I don't mind listening to sweet empty promises of love most teen girls would love to hear from their crushes every now and then. *laughs* Jesse reminds me a bit of Hisoka (Yami no Matsuei).

To date, Linkin Park gets a thumbs-up for being my type of angst and Kelly Clarkson for going beyond my expectations (you go gal!).

You know.....some of the songs I've mentioned are kinda 'old news' but don't you think that it helps to get my point through? I don't think I've missed much by ignoring what's hot in music today.

For record-keeping purposes....

Settings: In the changing room behind the stage


At that time, Hyde was performing in some place.
While waiting for break time to be over, he was sitting around in the changing room.
He saw this row of bottles on the table. Since he was curious, he had a closer look.


"Wow, what a coincidence, I've been feeling faint/weak lately.
Heh, looks like there are vitamins here," Hyde says while taking his pick.
"Hmm, which one yeah?"
Finally, he decided to take the bottle on the most right.
He opens the cap and drinks it immediately.
*Gluk..gluk....gluk*


Some photographers had been observing him since earlier.
"How do you feel?" one of them asks.
"Great!!" Hyde replies while showing off his arm muscles.


But suddenly....
"AHH!! Is he dead??!" the photographers gasp.
They see Hyde lying back on the couch behind the table.
What happened??
"I think he took the wrong medicine!" said one of them.
They remained silent, staring at the Hyde who still isn't moving ....


"That's the script?!" Gackt asks while looking at Hyde.
"I dunno," Hyde replies. "I guess I'm supposed to die?"
"So...what are you going to do? Do you want to do this ad??"
"Ummm," Hyde thinks for a sec. "Too late, it has already become an ad."
"Ooooo...." Gackt responds while hearing Hyde's answer.

....It goes to show that no one cares what your product does or taste like.
Slap a cute-looking Jrocker/celebrity on your advertisement and no one even cares if your model hypothetically died.
As long as he/she's cute, that's all that matters, right? ^_~

I've just finished watching CSI: Grave Danger ...the 2 episode finale of CSI's 5th season, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Oh wow...it was one of the most suspenseful and dramatic "episodes" to come from a TV series. I can't recall the last time I've felt my adrenaline run through my blood thanks to a movie. I'm still whirling from it. <(0_o)>



To summarize the whole story, Nick Stokes gets kidnapped and finds himself trapped in a transparent glass coffin in some unknown place. The CSI team has to race to save him. Sounds like a simple plot, right? Maybe, but it's the way you present the story that counts. And Quentin Tarantino and the CSI production crew did an AWESOME job. First, Quentin played around with one of ppl's worst nightmares (i.e. buried alive) and successfully gave the viewers the chilling point of view inside the coffin. Secondly, George Eads (who plays Nick) did a marvellous job in acting. His screams of terror in the coffin, convulsions of pain, and hysterics towards the end of the show were too nerve-wrecking for me. *tears hair* And finally, just seeing how this affects the rest of CSI members emotionally, just drew me right into the drama. I mean, come on, watching Conrad and Grissom react to this whole mess was priceless.

Now, if you watch CSI just as much as I do, you would have been just as attached to the characters as I am at this point. No doubt, it was pure torture watching this episode. <(>.<)> I was sitting at the edge of my couch, screaming "Nooooo aahhhhh wicked wicked [insert unladylike word]! How could they do this to Nick??!!! Please save him! Nooooooooooooooooo! Hang on there, you can do it! Nick, don't lose it! (0_0)!!!"

Halfway through the show, I seriously wondered whether he would survive at all. ^^;;; Nick is one of the nicest and "normal" guys in the show; you just can't hate him. I felt moved the most when Grissom yelled out "Poncho." <--- if you've watched this episode, you would know the significance of it

Absolutely powerful presentation and gripping story. My kudos to Quentin and the CSI production crew for one of the most "awesomest" CSI episodes ever! I don't know if the later episodes could ever match this one but as far as I'm concerned, I'm a CSI fan forever. <3 <3 <3

Pada malam ini yang indah sekali....*cough cough* yah ahem...

Untuk blog kali ini, saya akan cuba (dengan sedaya-upaya) untuk menulis dalam Bahasa Melayu dengan selengkap yang saya boleh. Cara penulisan ini amat rumit untuk saya walaupun saya pernah belajar bahasa ini selama sebelas tahun (sedihnya).

Jangan ketawa, rakan-rakan sekalian......*hehehehe* Ya ampun deh. Saya sendiri tidak boleh tahan bagaimana dahsyat cara penulisan saya dalam bahasa ini. LOL Teruk, man. Tapi, pada pendapat saya, lebih baik cuba sedikit daripada tidak cuba langsung demi menunjukkan semangat patriotis saya. *mula menyanyi lagu negara*

"Negaraku
Tanah tumpahnya darahku
Raja hidup bersatu dan maju
Rakyat bahagia Tuhan kurniakan...
Eh...eh...erm...apa ya, selamat di takhta?"

<.< >.>;;;;

(>.<);;;;; Aduh, capek gue. Ngak pa la, gue tidur dulu yah. <--- Nah, ni udah jadi bahasa Indo ni. Gila habis.....

OK, is this messed up or what? *laughs*



I don't mean to be gender bias but this is wrong. Very wrong. What type of individual decided that it would be a great idea to slap some flowery pattern on the handle of a screwdriver?

Ladies, it's bad enough if your man is a couch potato and won't even take the trash out. This is the perfect way to further discourage him from doing the plumbing, fixing furniture/electronics and setting the mechanics of your home straight. Take it from me, gals. Just DON'T.

Latest Jmusic band of interest: Asian Kung Fu Generation



This group of guys are pretty much rock/punk. Unlike Visual Kei JRock groups, they're pretty happy looking like guys and don't care to "bishify" themselves. Fine with me. While I'm not really into punk rock, I like the main vocal's voice and some songs such as Kaigan Doori, Re Re, Kimi to lu Hana, NGS, Last Scene, Mugen Glider, and Sono Wake Wo. Cool stuff, yeah. :)

Feel free to check 'em out.

Thanks to Ronin of Kirai for introducing this band to me.
