AVATAR -Avatar protesters?

Yesterday, the last day of school for me, AVATAR came out. My friend and I lined up for about half an hour to buy tickets and we were there quite early. I was really excited and I had waited months for this movie to come out. I think from the summer or even before that.

Avatar is the movie written and directed by James Cameron. It took I think 7 years to develop and it was his first movie in 12 years. The casts in Avatar is no Johnny Depp or Anne Hathaway, the actor playing Jake Sully, the main character, was an Australian actor, Sam Worthington.
The movie is basically about humans who are going to the planet that has simliar features as Pandora. The main character, Jake Sully, had a twin brother who trained to be in this program to use his own avatar and negotiate with the Na'vi people of Pandora, but he passed away. Avatars are created using human DNA and the DNA of the native Na'vi people. As a twin, Jake Sully replaced his brother. He was an ex-marine who lost both his legs.

Princess of one of the Na'vi tribes.



I seriously loved the movie and I believe the months of waiting was amazing. It's really amazing how they were able to make the 3D so realistic! I loved it~ and I really high recommend watching Avatar. The music was great and wow, I was just blown away by the creative creatures of Pandora. The planet was just sooooo beautiful, I want to be there myself. The 'alien', well, Na'vi people were really pretty, their skin and all that. I don't know how to put the feeling I felt in words, but I swear, if you don't watch this movie...you're missing out a lot.
When the movie ended, I felt completed, you could just ask me to die. I'm sure there are a lot of great movies out there, but this...this, to me, is a masterpiece. This is amazing in its own way...Avatar is something you have to watch at least once in your life. The beauty in this movie is just...really awesome. The feeling I got...sigh~ I don't know how to describe it. I'm sure there are many movies that will be just as great but the effects!

Anyways, earlier, I read some stuff about people protesting against the release of Avatar? I think that's just pure stupidity. Not that I'm against gay people of lesbians. I just find it ridiculous that anyone would want a movie to stop because the director made the futuristic aliens straight. I don't really fully understand the movie, but I don't think James Cameron made the aliens straight just to offend gays or lesbians or generless people and transgendered people. It's just pure stupidity they're protesting against this movie.

Trying to stop a movie that took SEVEN years to produce because of this is PURE stupidity! I know the gay pride thing is really important, but I don't think stopping a movie that didn't even mean to offend people is just weird and ridiculous.
There was also something about how they're protesting about Avatar because they think the future, people would be genderless or something. Like seriously..this is just a FICTIONAL MOVIE. How would anyone know what will happen? They're just ALIENS...how would ANONE know if aliens would be straight or not? Lets just make people's lives easier and stop caring about the details of whether aliens can be gay or not. And why can't humans still have gender in the future? Why can't we stay the way we are now?

I may be wrong since I don't know the full story, but I find the protesting stupid and ridiculous. Thank god they didn't stop the release of the movie, if they did. I would cry 'bout the fact that I didn't get to watch this movie.

Once again, you should seriously watch AVATAR<3

My Birthday~

Well, today is supposedly my birthday since I was born in Hong Kong, but anyways, it's not the 17th yet so tommorow is my brithday =D

I've been wondering (a little depressing), but why do people celebrate birthdays? Gathering all their friends to celebrate the fact that they're one year closer to death? Really negative thinking, yes, but I have been wondering about that a little while. Every birthday, you're getting a closer chance to your death. So when it's your death anniversary, why do people mourn and come and visit your grave?

They should be celebrating your death anniversary. It means you're one year closer to being reborned? Or one more year of living peacefully in heaven =D

Anyways, just some thoughts. Happy birthday to all those whose birthdays are on the 16th and 17th of December. :)

Winter break is getting closer, 2 more days.

What to do for xmas break:

-Finish most of my 'must-finish' dramas
-Finish some of the anime series on my 'must-watch' list
-Update my fanfictions
-Manage sweet-lemon.co.nr
-Go skiing
-Go eat Tenpanyaki
-Hot pot
-Read/obtain the books I want
-Purchase some CDs I've been wanting
-Spend less money than I did last year :D
-find more things to do...

hmmmm...I guess that's all...for now. haha~

If Only You Knew (Fanfic)

hihi~

You may expect, or not expect, but I am a fanfiction writer =) Although I have a lot of fanfic projects going on, the one I'm majorly focussing on is: If Only You Knew. I have just updated! So proud xD haha~


The characters in this story is Big Bang, TOP and Ji Yong, along with the other members and some made up fictional characters.

Basically, this fanfic revolves around a girl from a wealthy family. Because of her family background, she has been 'used' and never exactly experienced anything 'real' which results to why she is so closed up. When she was to move to Korea because her parents had some business there, she met Kwon Ji Yong. At first, Kwon Ji Yong was only using Keiko, thinking she's unique and he wanted to waste time. Slowly, as he got to meet her in just a couple hours, he had learned so much about her, he was really drawn to her.

But as a snobby, arrogant playboy, Ji Yong wouldn't admit his curiousity for this new girl. Keiko found out and was terribly hurt since she thought he was her first real friend that found out about her family, but still treated her the same. They also got along really well, opening up to each other. Although Ji Yong really mind the fact that her had hurt Keiko, Ji Yong didn't want to leave his crush, Sohee, so he asked his best friend, TOP to go see if Keiko is okay.

Seeing Keiko, TOP knew Ji Yong wouldn't love Keiko the way Keiko is treasuring Ji Yong so he wanted to protect her. TOP promises to help Keiko forget Ji Yong...

from there on...comes tears, pain, heartbreak alongside of happiness, love and new friendships.

A little dramatic, yesh.

After writing a few chapters and needing to go back to gather information, I realized I made things happen WAY to quick which totally sucks. Some things aren't written awesomely because I keep changing what I originally planned as more ideas pop into my head. Also, there are many typos and grammatic errors, I'm sure.

Nevertheless, please read my story if you're interested and support me. =) thanks.

14 Sai no Haha: Aisuru Tame ni Umaretekita [2]

ah~ I have finally finished it.

It was very very emotional actually. Well, I didn't cry as much as I did for 1 Litre of Tears, but still. It's actually a really strong drama that does teach us to treasure life. In the end, I did forgive Haruma's jerky-ness. He's hawt D= I love his fur jacket. haha! (Of course, I hope the fur is fake since I am against real fur)

Anyways. In the end, I did enjoy the drama. I read on wiki that supposedly, the drama was only 10 episodes, but because of the success, they made one extra. I actually didn't mind if they ended it at episode 10 because it won't really affect the awesome-ness of this drama. To be honest, I really did want to see something like "10 years later". Perhaps I'm asking too much, but I would want to see them together and all that. That would've satisfied me, but one way or another, it was really good overall. I don't think I have wasted my time watching this at all!

It was meaningful. Love actually really strong and unexplainable. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After celebrating the face that I have finished 14 Sai no Haha, I was making an affie button for my blog because I just wanted to try it out. Sadly, I don't have photoshop right now (since my computer died), so this sucks.
What do you think?

Anyways, hopefully, I can get some affie buddies =) lol. -dreams on-

14 Sai no Haha: Aisuru Tame ni Umaretekita

hihi~

I'm back again, with some of thoughts on the current drama I watching.

Every since I caught up to Tokyo DOGS, I am now watching 14 Sai no Haha (Mother at 14: Born to Love). This drama has been on my list since forever! I saw it on a commercial at Hong Kong so I'm totally pysched(?) on watching =D Glad I have finally been able to! Although it's not a new drama, it's still really awesome<3

Basically, this drama is about a girl in junior high (age 14), Miki Ichinose (Mirai Shida), who fell in love with a boy whose one year older than her, Satoshi Kirino (Haruma Miura). They met in cram school and they basically started falling in love.


Miki becomes pregnant with his Kirino's baby and that's when things become more complicated. Kirino is from a wealthy family-ish. His mom is the president of a very successful company and single-handedly raised him. She raised him under very strict and proper rules/ways and never expected any problems to come from him. Of course, Kirino is not very happy with his life and when it was found out that he was Miki's child's father, his mom wouldn't believe it.

When she was finally convinced, Kirino's mom forbade him to see Miki ever again. As all this was going on, the Ichinose household was facing even more problems. Miki's parents would not accept the fact that Miki was pregnant, especially her dad. They wanted her to abort it immediately (of course), but she refuses. Rumours begin to spread around school about Miki having a baby and the school (a prestigious school) is now considering dropping Miki out. They want to protect the school's name and did not want a pregnant student to affect the school or the students. Miki's best friend also seems very opposed and negative about the idea of her being pregnant.

Finally, after much talk with her parents, Miki's parents had agreed to support her decision in having the baby, but in return, she must never meet Kirino again. The two bid their farewells and Miki decides to raise the child herself.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, my summary isn't that good, but that basically gives you how far I have watched. Well, actually, I have seen more and learned more, but don't want to spoil it =)

Seriously, this drama is really emotional and Mirai Shida definately expressed the feelings of the character very well. While I was watching, I did find Satoshi Kirino a jerk and really useless, like seriously. Can't he be more romantic? Grrrr...haha. Well, he's hawt so I'll forgive him =)...I think.
Anyways. I really love Miki's parents, they're such supportive parents! Honestly, if you're pregnant at 14, what do you think you'll do. Or if you're a guy and you impregnanted (is that ever a word?) a girl, what would your parents do? Will you abandon the girl and baby or just abort the child? That's cruel, taking a life just like that. Just because the baby wasn't born, doesn't mean the life didn't exist.
-I seriously do wonder how people who get pregnant because they're careless feel when they abort their kid? Do they just think they're getting rid of something 'useless' in their stomach?

Well anyways, if I was pregnant when I'm 14...I'd probably get kicked out of the house, talk about giving birth. Miki is actually quite lucky, having such a supportive family. Her little brother is adorable =)

Anyways, you should watch 14 Sai no Haha =D I love it so far~ I'll probably post again about this when I finish the drama. You can watch this drama @ Mysoju :)

Futatsu no Kuchibiru - EXILE

Recently, I have been obsessed with the ending of Tokyo DOGS which is Futatsu no Kuchibiru by EXILE. Here's the MV:



It sounds really nice =)

Futatsu No Kuchibiru English lyrics:

I'm my real self, only when I'm with you
My heart shed its clothes
As long as there are two lips it's enough
Let's speak in a way without words

No one can choose what star they are born on
But now, here, I met you
Let's bury the time that passed until I met you with my kiss your lips

With the strength of your embrace, my feelings were impacted
Even though we are more than just lovers
A maze-like city Miracle that we met
Without making a sound, let's both scream

The earth that spins when our lips overlap
The Moon glow that chases the both of us

While surrounded by the night's curtain the love we exchange while fumbling around
Stroking your eyelids, I'll cast a spell
Has my passion reached you
Let's kindle it gently with a kiss Fire

While we hurt each other, we make sure of our passion
As we exchange smiles, we dampen the droughts of our hearts
I have nothing to hide. I just want to protect you
because it's the love I found in the darkness

The sudden rain wets my cheek. From a far away place one thinks
The time we could not see each other is what determined the shape of our love
Don't blame yourself that much. Raise your head
Because your smiling face should match you more than your crying one

No one else knows, burdened with a sweet secret
No one else sees, looking for the scenery

With the strength of your embrace, my feelings were impacted
Even though we are more than just lovers
A maze-like city Miracle that we met
Without making a sound, let's both scream

Two lips drawn by the darkness

Romaji lyrics:

Kimi to no jikan dakega hontou no jibun
Fuku wo nukusuteta no wa kokoro
Futatsu no kuchibiru sae areba jyuubun
Kotoba jyanai houhou de hanasou

Daremo umaretekuru hoshi erabu koto wa dekinai
Demo ima koko de kimi to deaeta
Meguriaeru made ni nagareta jikan kurai
Boku no kuchizuke de umeyou your lips

Dakishimeru tsuyosa de omoi wo hakaretara
Kitto futari wa koibito ijou nanoni
Meiro no youna machi meguriaeta kiseki
Koe ni dasazu futari de sakebou

Kuchibiru wo kasanetara mawaru chikyuu
Futari wo oikakeru Moon glow

Yoru no tobari ni tsutsumare tesaguri de kawasu ai
Mabuta wo nadete mahou wo kakeruyo
Boku no atsui mono wa kimi ni todoiterukai
Sotto kuchizuke de tomosou Fire

Kizutsukeainagara jounetsu tashikamete
Hohoemi kawashi kokoro no hoteri wo samasu
Kakushitai koto wa nai kimi wo mamoritai dake
Yami no naka de mitsuketa ai dakara

Totsuzen no ame ga hoho wo nurasu hanareta basho kara hitori omou
Aenai jikan koso ga futari no ai no katachi wo kimeta no dakara
Sonnani jibun semenaide utsumuita kao wo agetegoran
Nakigao yorimo egao no hou ga kimi ni wa yoku niau hazu dakara

Hoka no daremo shiranai amai himitsu kakaekonde
Hoka no daremo mienai keshiki wo sagasu

Dakishimeru tsuyosa de omoi wo hakaretara
Kitto futari wa koibito ijou nanoni
Meiro no youna machi meguriaeta kiseki
Koe ni dasazu futari de sakebou

Yami ni hikare futatsu no kuchibiru

Japanese lyrics:

君との時間だけが 本当の自分
服を脱ぎ捨てたのは 心
二つの唇さえあれば充分
言葉じゃない方法で話そう

誰も生まれてくる星 選ぶことはできない
でも今ここで 君と出逢えた
めぐり逢えるまでに 流れた時間くらい
僕の口づけで 埋めよう your lips

抱きしめる強さで 想いをはかれたら
きっと二人は 恋人以上なのに
迷路のような街 めぐり逢えた奇跡
声に出さず 二人で叫ぼう

唇を重ねたら 回る地球
二人を追いかける Moon glow

夜のとばりに包まれ 手探りで交わす愛
まぶたを撫でて 魔法をかけるよ
僕の熱いものは 君に届いてるかい
そっと口づけで灯そう Fire

傷つけ合いながら 情熱確かめて
微笑み交わし 心の火照りを冷ます
隠したいことはない 君を守りたいだけ
闇の中で見つけた 愛だから

突然の雨が頬を濡らす 離れた場所から一人思う
逢えない時間こそが二人の 愛のカタチを決めたのだから
そんなに自分責めないで うつむいた顔を上げてごらん
泣き顔よりも笑顔の方が 君にはよく似合うはずだから

他の誰も知らない 甘い秘密 抱え込んで
他の誰も見えない 景色を探す

抱きしめる強さで 想いをはかれたら
きっと二人は 恋人以上なのに
迷路のような街 めぐり逢えた奇跡
声に出さず 二人で叫ぼう

闇に引かれ ふたつの唇

Tokyo DOGS

hihi~

Well recently, my drama-craze has returned and replaced my anime-craze once again. I've recently been trying to finish Gem of Life (TVB drama) and watching Tokyo DOGS at the same time. Instead of watching both, I ended up getting carried away by Tokyo DOGS so I'm almost finished that.

[edit: There's more =D I guess I caught up then ;P]

Man, Oguri Shun is just so fine ;D
haha. This drama is definately awesome, one of my favorites. It's not too long or short. There's humor in it, definately. I LOVE the scenes when Hiro and Shun just started arguing about something totally pointless and off track. Sigh, they're both so hawt<3>So if you ever have time, you have to watch Tokyo DOGS. The girl is pretty as well xD sigh~ Almost coming to an end for me D= No more uptight-hawt Shun in tux<3


Brief Summary: Takakura So (Oguri Shun) witnessed his father?s murder at a young age. Pledging to catch the killer, he grows up to become an elite cop in New York City, where the criminal lives. His character is cool-headed and disciplined, yet adapts well. Because of major drug dealings, he gets sent to Tokyo to conduct a joint investigation with the Japanese police. There, he gets teamed up with, Kudo Maruo (Mizushima Hiro), a detective from a special investigative division. Kudo is a hot-blooded fighting expert due to his earlier days as a delinquent, but he makes a strong impression with his stylish appearance and is always interested in going on group dates. His personality, interests, and investigation methods are completely mismatched with Takakura?s, but the two somehow work together to crack the case they?ve been given.

And there you have it =)
Enjoy the drama as much as I did ;D

Big Bang still Big Bang?!?

hihi~

I guess you can say this is my first official discussing entry! =D yay~

Anyways, I have been a Big Bang fan since their first debut with the song La La La. Big Bang is the current hit Korean boy group. This group consist of G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong), TOP (Choi Seung Hyun), Taeyang (Dong Young Bae), Dae Sung (Kang Dae Sung), and Seungri (Lee Seung Hyun).

Not that I'm not there fan anymore, I have realized my 'fangirly-ness' have died recently. I'm not as hardcore following their news and activities anymore (which was a relief to my studies). This reason for this is that I kind of noticed their style have changed. I loved Big Bang because of their cute and dorky-ness. They preppy gangster style was so unique and fits them so well. Back then, they were the cute adorable group, Big Bang. I watched their first live performance and I was blown away by their energy and the awesome dancing. Now, they don't dance as hardcore (probably because it's too tiring?). Their style in music is also changing in a way. Their style is definately not the preppy adorable style.

G-dragon (my favorite member) had gone from adorable preppy to fashionable model (?). His style is more edgy and 'out-there'. TOP had the whole mask thing one moment and the gloves, going for more gangster. Seungri is also growing up as you can see from his Strong Baby MV. Tae Yang, to me, is still the same old sweet adorable teddy bear. Dae Sung is still the charming caramel asian with the cheeky smile, but you can still tell he has matured.

Now that G-dragon had released his solo album, Heartbreaker, and Seungri already did that solo MV of Strong Baby. Tae Yang had also released two more solo MVs, Wedding Dress and Where U At while TOP is filiming IRIS and Dae Sung continues his Family Outing. It feels as if they're all doing their own things (not that it's a bad thing). It feels that they aren't the same dorky group that first debuted. They are becoming more..model-ly. Having more 'matured' posing. (Well, they are growing up, but it's just sad to see D=)

(so DBSK style ><''') This might only be my opinion, but I would like to hear your thoughts on this as well. I had been listening to their old songs recently, once again, and I was thinking: 'Wow, it's so cute. haha.' With G-dragon doing his little sound things at the back (saying 'haha' or all those random english words) and all their voices blending together, while making the song sound unique at the same time. Now listen to their new song "Let Me Hear Your Voice". Only Tae yang, Dae sung and Seungri is sining mainly. G-dragon has joined TOP with the rapping only. The song is more slow and not like their first debut song, La La La, with all that energy. Yes, it's a different style, but you don't really see their songs with that much energy, other than Gara Gara Go?? The styles still seem to be changing, clothing and music. It changing as fast as G-dragon's hair change.

I guess I might be being too picky, but I guess I just miss the dorky angels that first debuted with their famous triangle scarves and their preppy looks (nerdy big framed glasses) with a mixture of gangster-ness that made my heart skip a beat.
