So… it’s only 2 weeks short of the new year, and yet another list of what was good this year~~ Though, I’m considering of not doing 2008 stuff, and just focus on things I found in 2008 instead.

Hmm… I feel I have been kinda crappy at watching movies like last time. But not AS bad as last time.
Amy seems to be quite the TuneSocial application user on Facebook… if you’ve no idea what is this, it’s an application that sort of works as a ‘virtual’ CD shelf… you can add the albums you own, or the one’s you’ve heard, etc…
I was browsing through ‘my collection’ and noticed that I’ve never given a 5/5 score to any of the albums on my collection, HA! Talk about picky, eh? I also noticed a few glitches, but won’t report because in order to do so, I’ve got to open an account with THEM. DUMB! The main glitch is that when I wanted to find out which CDs had the best rating, and wanted to organize the albums by rating, some of the albums didn’t show up… so in order to verify my list, I had to go through the +600 albums on my list. SUCKY!
Anyway, over the +600 albums… only 30 reach the 4.5 mark. ONLY 30!! Over +200 reach the 4/5 – so AM pretty confident about my choices of stars per albums and artists…
So here it is! Amy’s Top Rated TuneSocial Albums! Continue Reading…
Trying to figure out a better way to keep updated with films I watch, some are not on Flixster or IMDb, which makes it hard to figure out which ones I’ve seen by the end of the month.

Wow, a month already~ This post began Aug. 10th xD just because I couldn’t find some of the short films, ha! It’s a really not so fun way to keep track of films…
Anyway! I know I don’t blog DVDs, so I’m gonna do now! Can’t really remember which was the last DVD post I made of DVDs that I’ve bought, so these are the films in my last buy~~ which hasn’t arrived yet.
- Chungking Express
- Tekkon Kinkreet
- Hana & Alice
- Hula Girls
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:
The short films collection of Paris Je t’Aime was FINALLY released in Lima. It was released in Cannes in 2006, did some weeks of running through some small screen, and was released on DVD on 2007. The two-disc special edition has been in my collection since then, but now YOU… Peruvian movie-goer, can go to the cinema and catch it on the big screen.
The project has a LOT of BIG names, so just go watch it coz it’s good. This is the list of short films in order:
- Montmartre
- Quais de Seine
- Le Marais
- Tuileries
- Loin du 16e
- Porte du Choisy
- Bastille
- Place des Victoires
- Tour Eiffel
- Parc Monceau
- Quartier des Enfants Rouges
- Place des Fetes
- Pigalle
- Quartier de la Madeleine
- Pere-Lachaise
- Faubourg Saint-Denis
- Quartier Latin
- 14e Arrondissement

A little over a year ago, I blogged some music. I had discovered Kazumi & Maia, and it has been the most difficult thing to get their lyrics coz no one blogs them. Le sigh~~~ And their website (Record Company Website) wasn’t helpful either… Le sigh sigh~~~ u_U
Who are Kazumi & Maia? They are two Japanese women in France who do crazy genre music fusion in French and Japanese… or so called ‘chanson franco-japonaise” ~ Le gasp!! One of my best online music findings, because it was instant love! But if no one blogs them, how are they to become popular?? So I decided to blog them because I found out that Amazon.com has their album “L’Amitie” in their site. As of this moment, the item it’s listed as “out of stock” but they also have a note saying they’ll deliver it when they get it.
The hard-copy album, I think, it’s a bit pricey… BUT it DOES come with a so-called “Bonus DVD”, so who knows… it migth be worth it. Considering the state of their online ‘presence’, it makes me wonder if they would take much care to make a really kick ass bonus disc, though…. Le sigh sigh~ So if hard-copy is not your thing, you can get it through Amazon MP3 – you see, the good thing about digital downloads is that it’s always in stock, LOL – and if you’re not a US IP user (until Amazon MP3 turns international… when is that happening anyway??!?! I thought it was soon~~), you can get the album through Calabash Music.
Back in January and February, I blogged a lot about the Academy Awards films, actors and people~ I had a list of the films I was to watch and had it all highlighted in colors of films:
- I have seen
- I wanted to see
- Repeated film in another category (lol)
I didn’t necessarily manage to watch all the films before awards, but I did watch a majority… minus most the films in the Documentary category, and shorts (live action, animation and documentary). But today it all changed, because I saw all the Animated Short Films, and I will share them with you (especially Julyssa, who is most likely to want to watch them also). The only clip that is not complete is Piotrus i Wilk (Peter & the Wolf), which ended up winning the category.
Updating this list!
Since the update on March 18 (just a month ago! Wow, I’m so exact~~), these are the films I’ve seen:
