Last Friends Lightroom!

June 27, 2008 — 3 Comments

*Swoons* More lightroom testing. I played around with 3 different types of photos, some captures from the intro in nifty Black & White, nifty in character photos, and cool photos of the actors not in character.

Last Friends – Intro in Black & White
Last Friends – In Character
Last Friends – Out of Character

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.

Yup, finally as well. It already began showing, but you wouldn’t believe how freaky was to find out it was showing. It was a regular day in the evening when I suddenly thought to myself that I missed watching The Ellen Show because, well… no one broadcasted the show (until now), so I missed watching it from time to time. So maybe I thought of sending a message through her website complainig about it, ha! One minute later (literally), I saw the commercial that it was gonna begin broadcasting.

The Ellen Show is showing from Monday to Friday at 5 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time) on Warner Channel (Channel 16 Cable Magico). I leave you with some Ellen Spanish Funny. The Spanish classes did sure pay up!

When I was in Canada, one of my favorite programs on the Food Network was Iron Chef. Not the American version, I don’t care for the American version… but the Japanese!!

Tell me what you eat, and I’ll tell you what you are.

Funnyness ensued when they used REALLY bad dubbing for it. “Unh… Fukui-san” xD

I wanted to let you all know that the show will be broadcasting in Sony Entertainment Television (15 Cable Magico) on Saturdays at 8 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time).

Today it’s 3 years since the opening of amy-wong.com!! Wow, so many design changes, so many backend changes… my only regret on backend changes was that I accidentally lost information, le sigh.

So, actually… I’ve no idea what I’ll be doing to commemorate these 3 years, but I’ll talk it over with my pillow in a few minutes.

I once received a comment that I thought was freaky spam from a bot, that apparently turned out to be a real person. Though I still have my doubts~~ But still freaks me out. I hate obsessive spam.

Anyway, I was checking my spam queu, and came upon a spam comment that at first read I thought was a real comment. Hahaha! I was so impressed with it that I messaged my friend and she told me she couldn’t tell how this was spam, until I showed her the last bit of message. Here’s a capture of WP’s Dashboard.

Holy Shit - Smart Spam

Which makes me wonder, did actress Meredith Henderson really left a message in my old old OLD website when I had the guestbook that erased itself?? I hope she did, that was a fond memory, as well as the message that ANTM Cycle 7 contestant, Megan Morris, left on my MySpace. I don’t hang around MySpace much these days though~~~ le sigh.

Hahaha, the reason we love Nodame Cantabile is because Juri Ueno as lovable Nodame. Now, if you don’t know the series, you will still love this behind the scene of Juri Ueno singing Nodame’s Fart Exercise song.

It turns out that the song was so popular, Juri recorded a small album with kids songs. You can find the lyrics in Japanese, Romaji and English translation of the funnyness in here. (also includes imeem link)

Close the Door!

June 23, 2008 — 1 Comment

When I used to be in my old room (2nd largest room in the apartment, now I’ve got the biggest room), my bed was positioned right in front of the mirror-closet-door, so when I went to bed all my body was reflected at me. One afternoon, my mom decided to move my  bed around because according to Feng Shui, that sucked your energy or your soul – LOL, I don’t really remember at this point, and since my mother is so bad at quoting stuff, I can’t really look for it either – or something like that, so she put my headrest towards the back of the room, almost facing the door. Then she told me that this was a bad position too because my headrest shouldn’t be against a wall of a bathroom, because that would mean all my good vibes would go down the toilet (drain)… but since the building my family lives in is badly structure, we have to make sacrifices. So my mother decided to sacrifice my good vibes to save my soul/energy. LOL

At the moment, that room is now desoccupied. Am now in the master bedroom because I’ve got big stuff… and this bedroom has the master bathroom (and my headrest doesn’t face a bathroom-wall), but my mom and I fight for the bathroom, even though there’s another bathroom nearest her bedroom. x’D

So I am usually in my room with my door closed. I work here, and do all my bidding in my bedroom so I find having my door closed gives me ‘office’ space LOL. Plus, I like working with loud music so having the door closed mutes the music just a bit. However, sometimes I keep the door open, maybe because I’m just too focus on a task or whatever… Anyway, I was talking to my friend tonight, and told her how much I loved Lightroom at the moment. I asked her if she wanted me to work on her pictures, and she accepted, so I began going through my archived dvds to find the files……….

I had kept my door opened because my mother was using the bathroom, and I began looking. Looking, looking… through years of archived files because neither me or my friend could remember when we took the photos. I literally spent 3hr + going through DVDs and CDs, and nothing… until I got up to get clean clothing for a bath and CLOSED the door. As soon as I closed the door, I found the first set of photos. LOL’

I haven’t began looking for the 2nd set yet, but I was really freaked out by the idea that closing the door might be just me keeping my ‘good vibes’ within my surroundings. I certainly like closing doors where I live… I thought it was maybe each room has its certain smell, so I don’t like the smell of the master bathroom creeping up in my room, or the smell of the kitchen near my door. Maybe I’m just paranoic, ha!
