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!

Following up this post.

I really really don’t know how many films I have actually seen from my list of “Want to See” LOL’ It’s most likely that my list have gotten longer than shorter, ha! So this is the current films I want to see.

I just watched an episode of CSI Miami. Not a fan of CSI Miami, I have probably seen 3 episodes of CSI Miami, and I’ve never gotten into it. Never got into CSI NYC either… heard that it’s surpassed CSI in raitings, but still probably won’t get into it.

I enjoyed CSI when it began, pre-spin-offs, but I haven’t seen a new CSI episode since probably the last episode I saw Lady Heather in. AM a fan of Lady Heather~ Catherine and Grissom, and always a small weakness for Lady Heather and Grissom. LOL’ But I haven’t been following CSI, has it lost its charm? Maybe. Perhaps… there’s too many forensic shows around nowadays.

Does CSI still surprise you? I don’t know how many of you still wait to the end of the episode to find the guilty one, but my mom and me play around by pointing out the people we think could be guilty. The only rule is that is has to be before the commercial break.

The first an only key is to watch films and shows, because if you know a guest-star on any CSI episode, it will most likely be the guilty. That’s it. LOL. Case and point, Katherine Moennig guest-starring, I told my mom that I knew her so she must be guilty. After that, another actor showed up and I told my mom I knew him also, as well as another guy. All of them turned out to be somewhat guilty.

So there you have it folks, guest-starring 101.

Wah… That’s all I have to react, Wah~~~ hahaha

So because I’m a dork, I usually try to purchase stuff I really quite like listening or watching, or just for the sake of having it. So, for the past week, I have been totally addicted to Yu Aoi material – Films and Shows – so dorky me went “What the heck?” and I visited YesAsia.com to check on DVDs. I watched an episode of Camouflage, which I thought was BIZARRE, but surprisingly good as in “it almost looks like a film” type of show.

The show (also known as Aoi Yu x 4 Lies, or something like that) is told into four 3-episode-chapters (making the number of chapters 12), each chapter directed by a different director, who had no restrains to tell a story centering on the idea of lies.

So I watched it, and thought it was really good, but all episodes are not downloading so I went and looked them up. They’re coming out on DVD (Japan Region, 2) this July 15th, on 4 different sets. However, problem number one! They don’t have English subs. And problema numero dos, each set of 3 episodes is roughly $40USD, making the whole 12 episodes $160USD… roughly, give or take. So my mouth dropped, and profanity came out of it hahaha.

Because of this, I went and searched for Nodame Cantabile (just to check on average prices), which was roughly $240USD for the 11 episodes on the show. LE GASP! My heart broke, my brain cried, and my spirit was broken realizing how broke my bank account would be. Can you imagine?? Buying 3 different Jdrama DVD sets at $240USD each? Lucky, or unlucky for me~~ most of them are not English subtitled. Maybe not knowing Japanese is a perk? LOL’

The good thing is that Amazon.com has some Yu Aoi movie DVDs, but it’s VERY limited… at a reasonable price, but limited. And I doubt they will list Camouflage… le sigh. I might consider buying “Hana and Alice” and “Hula Girls”, though I will be missing Rainbow Song. T_T

My dad is the coolest because:

Get Smart!

June 14, 2008 — 1 Comment

Just got back from watching Get Smart, the television-show-based film starring Steve Carell, and Anne Hathaway… alongside The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) and Alan Arkin. I did not expect watching this, so when I was invited, I took my dad who is a fan of the show. He liked it, but he’s not die-hard fan – we thought it was pretty funny. I actually heard him laughing throughout.

RASUTO FURENZU’s Orignial Soundtrack was released like 4 days ago! It includes the drool-inducing version of the Main Theme, Prisoner of Love, in its Quiet Instrumental Piano version. The Utada Hikaru single of the song includes 4 tracks, which include the regular version, the Quiet Version, and both tracks on Karaoke Version. However, the Quiet Instrumental Piano Version on the OST is the best! Because it’s on the show, duh!

Original music for a show? American TV shows ask. Yes, most of the tracks on this OST are instrumental pieces, unlike Western shows which oftentimes use hand-picked from a handful of artists, who are willing to license their music for cheap. Not complaining much of it, because some are great… but this TV soundtrack makes it more especial, non?

You can buy the OST on YesAsia.com – Leave ya with the drool-inducing Instrumental Piano version of Prisoner of Love. [here a couple more tracks]
