If MJ Came to Peru,

April 13, 2009 — Leave a comment

Will You Be There?

Sorry, couldn’t resist that one~~

Despite all the crazy, I would go. I would pay to see Michael Jackson – just like there’s people saying they’d pay to see Britney Spears in Lima. Really? After the shennanigans in Vancouver? ~~~ but oh those possibilities of rock with your cock out. LOL’

ANYWAY, I don’t know how much I’d be willing to pay to see MJ on stage… perhaps it will have a broad price range like many of the more ‘popular’ concerts. I’d be wiling to pay $50 for some okay ticket… I’m not crazy enough as some MJ fans. Plus, it’ll be tough to compete with them~~

By the by, have you heard? Jonas Brothers sold like 20K tickets in 4hrs in Peru. Prices raging from 1300-ish Soles ($430ish USD) to 50-ish soles ($15ish USD). I’m so glad I’m not a parent, and so glad my younger cousin doesn’t find boys an interesting subject… yet. LOL

Also Disney flat out denied that they are building a park in Peru. LOL’ Just thought I’d put this out there just in case…

More Modelling Me

Of course that’s rotation. LOL’ The story is that remote, I need. You have no idea how many photos were of me touching the floor or about to jump because I couldn’t calculate when I should jump.

Comments are welcomed here. I’ve got another one that turned out very Kpop, but that one I’m ashamed to show it off online… or with people that I don’t know. Hahahaha.

Me in Red~ Jumping, and Bumping my Knee

LOL’

Yes, I hurt my knee doing this, but still~~ was kinda fun. What you think?

I also need to get a remote control for my Nikon D70s, anyone has any good suggestion as to what I should get? It’s hard figuring out when the timer will go off, jump and get a good shot… also, going back and forth from camera to spot to jump – so NOT FUN.

Comment me here, xD

Happy Two-Year-Using-WordPress!!

March 3, 2009 — 3 Comments

Today, two years ago, I began using WordPress!

I’ve gone through… several WordPress updates (some of them messing up with the website), many CSS styles~~~~ and a LOT of topic changes AND even MORE~~~ category additions~~~ and of course, one of the first proper posts was a rant, coz Amy loves ranting. xD However, in those days and age~~~ Amy ranted about many topics into one post~ the rant turned from a Dixie Chicks forum heated discussion, to how crappy Jennifer Hudson winning an Oscar was. LOL I still feel the same way though~~ Rinko Kikuchi so totally kicked major butt there~~~

Topics haven’t changed much actually… I still rant about Oscar, and AM so into Japanese films. Haven’t seen much Rinko Kikuchi since then though… as I am still waiting for Brothers Bloom to come out anywhere I might be able  to watch.

Similar to today, a year ago… well not exactly today, since I didn’t blog on March 3rd 2008 –  but 7th, I blogged Julyssa’s Greta Garbo’s book gift. WOOOOOOO – Julyssa!!! It’s been a year since that gift!! Thank you SOOOOO much. Greta Garbo photographs are sooooooo AWEsome. Ne? xD

So thank you, WordPress~ Two years together! xD

I’m a Pure Geek…

March 3, 2009 — 4 Comments

which I already knew.

22 % Nerd, 61% Geek, 13% Dork

xD

It’s not that you’re a school junkie, like the nerd, and you don’t really stand out in a crowd, like the dork, you just have some interests that aren’t quite mainstream. Perhaps it’s anime, perhaps it’s computers, perhaps it’s bottlecaps, perhaps it’s all of those and more. Your interests take you to events and gatherings that are filled with people you find unusual and beyond-the-pale, but you don’t quite consider yourself “of that crowd.” Instead, you consider yourself to be fairly normal.

Which, you are.

Congratulations! You’re the one on the RIGHT!

Of course I am…

Five Years Blogging!

February 10, 2009 — 3 Comments

Woah~ I was just checking my Google Calendar, and holy! I saw “First Blog Anniversary” on February 13th – at first, I didn’t remember what I was talking about, but then I clicked on it and said “First blog published, 2004 on Flash”. And finally got it! Remember it!!! LOL’ And actually, I’m so good at keeping track of my stuff now, that I have a screencapture of what I was FIVE years ago.

Amy's first blog - Feb2004 - 5th Anniversary

I’m even a little ashamed. LOL – I made a quite-tacky-Flash-based ‘blog’ because I was taking Flash in Vancouver (I got a pretty good grade, btw). I remember the first post ever was to say that I had posted a review for 50 First Dates, and The Corporation. Of course I kept reviewing films, and it became tedious to handle all that data in Flash at the time without XML. Then I made one with XML, but still… I ended up with a HTML version just a few months later.

And just for the sake of it, this is my first online portfolio – made also 5 years ago (but finished and uploaded in June).

Changed? xD

Short days away from turning 23… O.o

Gosh~~~

*sighs* After that? At least on this blog… Grammy Awards, BAFTAs, Independent Spirits and Oscar! This is the first year I will be watching Independent Spirit Awards on television~~~ thanks to i-SAT who is now part of my cable provider! This is also the first year I get to vote for Indie Spirits~~~ I feel somewhat special… xD just for that.

Also, Coraline opens this week in the US, and next week here in Peru (even though it’s dubbed) – AND +++++ This month brings a new issue (2nd issue, in fact~) of YAM – if you haven’t read our first issue, do so here – this same week (same day as the Coraline opening day, in fact) Guu-Guu Datte Neko de Aru is out on DVD R2 wiht English subs~ My first Juri, first Japanese DVD ever. *excited*

U + Me, We Can Sholly Together

January 20, 2009 — Leave a comment

LOL’

Sounds so wrong in so many levels~~

Last EVER First episode of The L Word~~ You likey? I was dying to see… and I actually saw half of it first, but didn’t have time to finish it all ‘coz I had stuff to do. LOL But that half was enough~

I’m blogging Sholly once again because it’s one of the most popular posts in here~ even more so after this last first episode. Even if Clementine Ford made like a 1 or 2-minute appearance, but that was enough to get the Sholly postings on this blog to spike. WTH~

First things first… why would Phyllis tell Molly that she had ‘a talk’ with Shane? Main pet peeve~~~ SO convenient. Phyllis will NEVER ever confess to Molly that she intervened. So even though I was thrilled to see and hear Molly saying she ‘loves’ Shane… I don’t think it should’ve been on this first episode. Just saying.

Then there’s Jenny… I hate Jenny with a passion. – Not saying I hate Mia, Mia’s great… she’s so good she makes me HATE Jenny. LOL – You should’ve seen me when Jenny put the jacket and the letter away~

I know… not much Sholly airtime on the episode, but we did hear Shane and Molly saying they love each other. Bette even laughed… haha~ And Tina and Bette fighting over who’s to be pitied the most. sounded like an IMDb Shenny/Sholly discussion, only that it doesn’t end as their argument did…

Latest theory? I read an awesome and cheesy funny idea that Jenny is only trying to eff around with Shane’s head to get back at her… Shane finally finds out, confronts her and Jenny offs herself.

There’s also my lame theory that Shane and Jenny get together for real and Shane finds out that she’s in love with Molly for real, Jenny gets depressed and offs herself. But then… since Alice is the one ending up in prison, I dunno how she fits into killing Jenny. Maybe… Alice goes apeshit after Tasha finally gives up on them, blames it on Shane and while trying to kill Shane, she kills Jenny ~~~~~ OR, whatever. LOL.

Measuring the Popularity of a Show or Movie

January 19, 2009 — Leave a comment

How can we measure the popularity of a TV show or a film?

I just finished watching the latest Desperate Housewives episode… episode 100!! But I’m still DYING to see the newest episode of the last The L Word season~~~ AND, the newest Showtime Toni-Collette-starring-Diablo-Cody-written-30-min-dark-comedy~~ (yes, that’s one word) United States of Tara.

DH aired at 9pm (at the same time that TLW airs), but still no hint of the episode of TLW… why is that? Is it because TLW isn’t as popular as DH? Is it because TLW airs on Showtime? But Dexter also airs on Showtime… though I’m pretty sure Dexter takes a little while to show up~~ The fact is… I have no idea why I’m dying to watch The L Word tonight. Maybe it’s because I have to wake up early tomorrow meaning that I wouldn’t be able to watch the episode until later today. LOL Combine that with my left-over anxiety left from last season’s Molly+Shane… and lack of web comments on tonight’s episode.

I would assume that people that watch Showtime are more web savvy than the people that tend to watch ABC, so I’m sure someone that watches TLW would be able to make IT happen.

*sighs*

Now… if only I could get Showtime in Peru. Cable Magico *hint hint nudge nudge* … *punch punch* get it? And cut that crap of “Latin American version of *insert name of channel*”.

OK… back on my subject~~~ I know the more popular the film is, the faster it hits the internet. Is it the same for shows? Or does it have to do with target audience?

Wow wow wow~~

December 30, 2008 — 1 Comment

Can’t believe it’s almost like >this< to the end of the year on this side of the world… and even less time on the other side of the world. Actually, by the time I wake up again, it will be 2009 on that side of the world most likely.

Oh, the memories… how time flies by. What have I done? I feel I’ve done so very little…

One oft he few things I feel I’ve done is YAM [help yourself to some leftover YAM] – and I would like to continue with that. As a special something, this is a little of what we talked on the issue.

Let the Right One In, the Swedish film… which is probably MY favorite film of the year. Though, I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button last night and WHOA. Blew me away… but that’s not on YAM. LOL – What’s on YAM? There are also reviews on Blindness, Slumdog Millionaire, and Twilight. Yes, Julyssa decided to review Twilight for us… how brave of her! xD – And yes, please? Go watch Slumdog Millionaire (or Benjamin Button) at least once, instead of watching Twilight for the 20th time… just like Lainey says.

I also reviewed music… Britney’s comeback Circus, Marit Larsen, Guns N’ Roses, Taylor Swift and DBSK. There are music, film and tv news… also a review on Season 3 of Dexter. PLUS! There’s more! Book reviews!! One of them features Yu!

Yeah! For Frak’s sake~~ I’m doing what others are ‘afraid’ to do. I’m mixing West and Asian entertainment. LOL’ Not ONLY the stuff that makes it here… but also the stuff that doesn’t, but should~~ So be sure to know that I’ll be reviewing music from all sides of the world, films from everywhere… and maybe even series~~

So please do! DO READ YAM! And link a post there so more people can read YAM.

Happy New 2009. Much success to everyone!
