Year: 2009

  • Meet the Elements by They Might be Giants

    I know music videos is not that popular in here, considering how visits have dropped since I begun posting a few music videos this past week… but this brought back memories of school and chemistry classes. xD My teacher has his own Facebook group hahaha.


  • Whip It on Vs Magazine and the Marie Claire Kiss

    Drew Barrymore (and Juliette Lewis) are on the cover of Vs Magazine.

    Drew Barrymore - VS Magazine Cover

    but everyone is talking about the newest issue of Marie Claire with Drew and Ellen Page on the cover… why? Well, besides from giving an interview where both of them fangirl and fuzz over each other… (which is super cute)

  • Ljósið by Ólafur Arnalds

    Ljósið = Light =D

    beautiful music. xD

    Also check 3055, gorgeous musical ending.
    Can’t wait to listen to the whole album~


  • Shadows for Surf Twilight Sensations CM

    Pretty “shadow Puppet-y” CM for Surf’s Twilight Sensations,
    which I almost confused for a pretty perfume ad. :O
    that can only be good, right?


  • 20 Actors Between 20-25 to Watch until They’re 30

    This week I was thinking about making a compilation of 20 actors (women and men) between the ages of 20-25 to keep track until they’re 30. I tried writing the post today, but it turns out I don’t have many names. Ha! First, some of the people I was considering adding to the list are 26, or not even 20… or are already in their 30s, which is great for them since I thought they were in their 20s… not so good for my list.

    At the moment though, I have 8 actresses already picked out. However, I’m missing 2 more actresses. And I’m missing all of the guys (10). HAHAHAHA. So I need help. Leave a comment with some names of young actors/actresses.

    Just some things to keep in mind…

    • must be between 20-25, can also be turning 20 this year.
    • must have more than one or two films on her/his CV.
    • too much TV and only 1 film doesn’t count.
    • award recognition is nice, but not mandatory.

    As I add the people in single posts, I’ll be adding their names here and linking. :)

  • Let me Be Real by Fedde Le Grand Ft. Mitch Crown

    Another music video post!
    You know, it’s “that” time of the year again.
    I think VMAs are next week?

    Perhaps I can do a “best 2009 music videos” post by the end of the year, so all I need is keep posting videos I find interesting xD with songs I find interesting. So here it is…

  • La Nueva Yma Sumac by La Casa Azul

    Just ran into this very cute music video – alert! Yma Sumac pop culture reference xD – really, I never thought I would have seen Yma Sumac named alongside Superman, but alas~~~ La Casa Azul (the blue house) has come up with the song (the new Yma Sumac) and this cute Cartoon Network-esque music video.

    And they’ve made the original Spanish version, and a Japanese version! Though sounds wayyyyy cuter in Japanese. It’s the whole electro-cutesy pop vibe, you know? It just fits better with the voice.

    you can check the Spanish version here, and
    visit Cocoe Studios who were in charge of the animation~~~


  • Oh, the Mysteries of Shipping~ Declan+Miranda~~

    So I started re-watching Mysterious Ways the past week. It’s hilarious how I can’t get away from Harmony, ever. The other day was too much that I went back to PK to talk about it xD “ships that remind you of Harmony” xD It’s funny how I never noticed how I shipped Declan and Miranda.

    Declan is a total adventurer dork. Miranda is a super intelligent goth. I love them together. And they totally flirted, at least Miranda did… xD but that episode, man! The Greater Good episode~~~

    *swoon!* Swoon not that Miranda almost died, LOL’ xD But *swoon* how Declan put Miranda ahead of all humanity~~~ He had the chance of curing and saving everyone in the world, and he chose her. xD And she woke up, even though we knew that Miranda didn’t want to be resuscitated, and she saw him. She grabbed his hand, and didn’t want to let go. I loved it! xD – You’ll love it too~~~

  • Yu Aoi Film Discussion – Hito no SEKKUSU o Warauna – Don’t Laugh at my Romance

    Well, long time no see, eh?

    It’s been nearly 4 or 5 months since our last discussion, and I really thought there’d be more people discussing Tekkonkinkreet, but alas~ No one has commented on it. If you have just discovered Yu Aoi (either through Osen, or a random watch of either Hana & Alice, One Million Yen Girl or Lily Chou Chou) and have been hit in the face with like a meteor, I invite you to watch Tekkon as well. Any animation fan won’t really regret it.

    Anyway, we’re here to discuss Don’t Laugh at my Romance, or Sex is no Laughing Matter or Hito no SEKKUSU~~~ whatever your pick on names is.

    First a little about the film~
    Don’t Laugh at my Romance is a 2008 film adaptation of the the novel by Naocola Yamazaki, directed and sort of adapted by Nami Iguchi. It is about a 19-year-old student (Matsuyama) who falls in love/lust with his lithography teacher (Hiromi Nagasaku) at university, though he isn’t aware that his friend and classmate (Yu Aoi) is quite fond of him.

    Genre: Dramedy with Romance
    Starring: Kenichi Matsuyama, Hiromi Nagasaku, Yu Aoi, Shugo Oshinari, Yoichi Nukumizu
    Duration: a little over +2hrs

    Beware! Possible film spoilers~~~
