I know I’ve heard that one before… maybe in school? Maybe just talking among friends… but one thing is for sure, that a good story can be understood even with a language barrier.
Has any of you watch a film in a language that doesn’t resemble yours? I’m not talking about me watching La Vie en Rose with Swedish subtitles… though that was a challenge, but let’s face it~~ French, Spanish…. kinda helped a little bit, non?
Last year’s award-winning Romanian film, “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” has finally arrived to screens in Lima. Mind you, just a few screens.
The film stars Anamaria Marinca as Otilia, a Romanian young woman who’s trying to help her friend to perform an illegal abortion in the 1980s.
It’s a well-acted film, and thought-provoking… which is really good if you like talking about the films afterwards…
I gave it a 4/5, and I’m probably gonna watch it again.
These are the time, but be sure to check Cine Terra.

I don’t know how many of you had the chance to grow up with this animation around them, but recently I got to watch some animated films that I had seen as a child. I mean, many of us have grown up with Disney… or some with Hayao Miyazaki work. But how about Sullivan Bluth Studios?
I was looking at the numbers that show up in the categories on the side of the website. You know, those numbers that tell you how many post each category has. 1/3 of posts is about celebrities, I’m shocked to say… LOL’ – However, most ashamed I am of the fact that I have been roughly blogging about more Japanese than Spanish. If someone gives me more in Spanish to talk about, I’d be more than glad~~
So… it’s been a month since my last Music post. LOL’ Sadly (or maybe luckily for my credit card??), there hasn’t been huge changes in my iTunes library. xD There’s been just a few additions to it~
First off, Sigur Rós – I was never a HUGE fan of them, but watching the NatGeo concert with Bjork was an incentive. I actually had a lot of fun with that one song they performed together, which had me giggling and tapping my upper legs and desk at the rhythm of their percussion~~ xD
Anyway~ Here’s the list:
Aha! It’s time for a recap of films I have seen… truth be told, I haven’t seen AS MANY films as previous times, as I recall. There’s been entire weeks when I didn’t see any… and not even mentioning music~~ you will see.
Okay, so I managed to cross some names from my movie list. But the list has also increased a bit, LOL! Which means trouble, hahaha. This list of films is never ending.
So these are the films I’ve seen:
Fans… that tend to have their fan-colored glasses on should stay away from rumors. Yeah, sure… we can love reading Lainey’s celeb reporting, and opinions about Nicole Kidman… or codename Granny Freeze. LOL’ I mean, I like Kidman’s acting in films like Margot at the Wedding, which came out not long ago~~ But things like that make me snort.
But when one has their fan-colored glasses on… *cough* we should stay cleared. xD And I refuse, I REFUSE to believe the rumors I just read. You see, this is what happens when you actively search for rumors. Haha, you get punched and your fan-colored glasses suffer.
I know sometimes, most the times, we should take our glasses off and take our idols off the pedestal we’ve put them on. But it’s so hard! LOL’ I swear, it will take me 6 months… at least, hahaha. Please, let the rumors just be rumors. xD
Yup~ Felices fiestas! xD Que viva el Peru, and the whole shebang~
Brace yourselves for some marching tomorrow, and prepare your illegally bought movies ‘coz many won’t be too fond of national TV xD
My jaw hurts, so I won’t be eating anything hard to chew. I’m beginning to hate doctors… my jaw hurts worse that it used to. It blows. Clean ears, my ass.
Also, YesAsia blows. I need to bent! Keep your fingers crossed for the next five days so they can at least find Dandelion… because Dandelion is oh-so-pretty-a-book. And I need to have it.
I know I said I wasn’t gonna post any proper scans of the book, but since I wanted to make a new wallpaper with one of my fave photos in the book, I thought it would be good to tease all of you. xD I want that beanie, does any of you know where to get one?? I told my mom that’s her knitting style, but she claims she doesn’t have any idea how to knit a beanie, she said she can maybe make a scarf like that and wrap it around. LOL
Photo is not complete because I had to crop the shadow that appears from scanning too close to the spine of it. It is a pretty decent sized scan… the wallpaper is 1680×1050, but I’ve also got a fullscreen one sized 1280×1024, in case you want one… though I haven’t posted it. Original scan filesize is 5Mb. xD
**EDIT**
If anyone knows where can I get this beanie/tuque/toque, let me know! In the meantime, if you want to buy one of the caps that appear on the photoshoot:

Do You Know Your Asians?
Lainey does not have a grandma named Mrs. Wong.
See, even us Asians can’t tell their Asians apart. As I said in the last post, it was the 16th anniversary of the restaurant. We went to eat meat… loads of meat, which was also bad for my jaw.
Anyway, it was a big ass table, so I sat next to my cousin. We got to talking about school, music, economy, eco solutions, and stupid people, among other topics, like Japanese, Korean and Chinese. I told them it was getting harder to tell each apart because everyone is getting a slicker style. However, my cousin was proud to admit that he could tell them apart, which I refused to believe~~
I asked him once again, Continue Reading…
