Yu Aoi

I am trying to make a decent Yu Aoi-non-Yu Aoi thing here. Somewhere where u can discuss, read and know? about Yu and her work, but not really a fansite. I don’t focus much on photos, and fanart-making, but more on the films… if you wanna see icons, graphics and stuff, you can check this LiveJournal Community.

On this blog, you’ll find…

Guide for the Yu Aoi Fan:

The Film Discussion is for those of you wanting to know about a Yu Aoi film, how was the film, how much can you see of Yu in it, and how was her performance. It is likely they contain SPOILERS, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, you can scroll down without reading and just see how many stars it got.

Chulpan Khamatova

For the past few months, I have been on the hunt of Chulpan Khamatova material — subtitled or not — watching anything I could get my hands on in order to create, as my fandom above this one, a place for non-Russian-speaking fans of Khamatova to mingle and talk. Actually, I just want to find other Chulpan Khamatova fans out there that don’t speak Russian! LOL

Anyway, you can find:

My Indian Biases

I don’t think I have enough information to put a solely Tabu, Rani or Vidya or Madhuri section… but combined, they’ve totally taken over the blog. Same with my other fandoms, I want to find other fans who don’t necessarily speak Hindi (Telugu, Tamil or others) but love to talk about them.

You can find~

And your basic guide:

Photobooks

I don’t own many photobooks, but they might increase. Who knows! Anyway, these are the photobooks that are feature on this blog:

Some TV

I seemed to blog quite a bit about:

Don’t forget to check “Shows You Should’ve Watched When They Were on the Air.”

And the Emmy Awards~~

About Films

I blog quite a bit about films, maybe a bit more in Award Season… Here are some of the Awards I keep an eye for:

Don’t forget to check out the “Films that Changed your Life Forever.”

And a Little on Music~

Just to keep it consistent… Here’s the GRAMMY.

I also do my bit of posting lyrics… here are the ones featured in the blog;

How This Blog Works~

June 10, 2008 — 1 Comment

Just a little bit on how this blog works. I haven’t properly blog, about me or my work… other than the occasional rant, you could say this is a very subjective variety blog. The topics are usually varied, but I get fanatical from time to time… mainly because there’s no one to talk with…

Sholly Shippers, Rejoice Once More!

April 10, 2008 — 3 Comments

Okay, anyone actually following posts up-close would have already noticed a trend of The L Word, Marlee Matlin (teehee) and Shane/Molly related posts. So I’m on my obsessive phase on those posts, just as I was obsessed about six months ago with Celtic Woman, and awesomeness Meav (Ni Mhaolchatha, for those of you not knowing)… Okay, I listened to some Celtic Woman last night, but it certainly isn’t bordering on obsessiveness, like it used to. Trust.

Anyway, following on my current trend. Fans of Sholly, Shane and Molly have got a new home…

The Search of the Silver Sea

August 9, 2007 — 2 Comments

Amazon Uk - Meav Ni MhaolchathaWelcome to the brand new adventures of Amy Wong, this time~ entitled, Amy Wong and the Search of the Silver Sea. (insert harry potter pun in here)

As many know, I have found myself obsessed with Celtic Woman, so I was trying to look for some tracks by Meav Ni Mhaolchatha, whose name I have finally learned to type. I was browsing iTunes when I found the music I wanted, and downloaded some of her tracks, when I realized iTunes Canada didn’t have listed her album Silver Sea… yes, I was browsing iTunes USA when I saw it. So I found myself cursing and cussing against iTunes, because seriously… Canada and the US? Not much of a difference in the market, is there? I know, I know it’s not iTunes’ fault per se, but the record companies… but WHATEVER.

Anyway, since I couldn’t get the tracks the legal way, I started searching all torrents sites with Bit Che (insert sponsorship here) – but couldn’t find ANYTHING. Then, I decided to open LimeWire (insert more propaganda here), but yeah~ no such luck either.

Then, I started googling (more propaganda here… seriously, I should get some money for all these advertisement I’m adding in my post) – Tried Calabash Music first (more ads), but nothing there… and then found Artist Direct (more ads) – they had Meav listed, they just didn’t have the Silver Sea album… AND FINALLY! I found eMusic (more ads) – the site seemed normal, read the WHY JOIN? thing they had, and DIDN’T READ anything about REGION RESTRICTION, so I signed up. But SURPRISE! I couldn’t download~ The album is not allowed in Peru, nor Canada~

eMusic - Meav Ni Mhaolchatha

Now, I went straight to the source of all this madness… Meav’s official site, which gives a few links where to get her album. Amazon.com or UK don’t have the album anymore (ok, more ads… and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find the album because it’s quite old) – and also… Celtic Collections. In fact, Celtic Collections HAS the album in stock, with another cover, and who knows what other tiny differences. The price? 13.5 Euros. Now, that’s a rip-off for me, I’m sorry… coz I know for sure, I will need to pay probably 7 Euros more for shipping, and I can’t really see if that’s a good deal for me.

Celtic Collections - Meav Ni MhaolchathaI heart Meav, and all… but come on! Get real, I’m Peruvian – over 15 Euros for an album is a lot of money for me, especially because I only want 5 tracks from the album! However, I’m seriously tempted in buying it just to post it online, so no one has to suffer getting the tracks. My only chance without spending over 10 Euros, is to wait for my cousin to get me the tracks… she may be able to, since she’s living in the US. Hopefully, eMusic will allow her to download the tracks, or else… I’ll have to figure out a way around the iTunes tracks.

Oh yeah, by the way… Calabash Music is pretty good, since I haven’t gotten any content restriction issue with it, as well as those DRM-Free music thingies on iTunes music, you know, “The Protection” code thing which really bugs people. So I will shout it to the world, CALABASH MUSIC IS PRETTY AWESOME.

Eighteen, Pirates, Everyone and The Fountain

May 27, 2007 — Leave a comment

Just updated the list of films I might watch or wanna watch this year – HERE

The past few days, besides from obsessing over watching the Celtic Woman concert DVD, I watched a few films. First in the list are two Canadian indies, both very similar in casting, and both pretty good.

Eighteen tells the story of Pip, an apathetic Canadian middle-upper class who decides to live in the street due to several reasons. On his 18th birthday, he receives a tape with a recording of his grandfather (voiced by Ian Mckellan), who tells Pip about his 18th birthday spent on the run during war time. – The film is quite a good drama, definitely worth a watch. Loved Carly Pope, Paul Anthony and Brendan Fletcher (both of them were on The Adventures of Shirley Holmes). – 4.5/5

Next was Everyone, an odd dark comedy, that also counts with the talent of Pope and Fletcher. This film is about a gay couple who’s getting married, and all their guests for the event, including a failed TV actor who hates kids, his anorexic actress wife, a pot-smoking-couple who spent their time playing video games, a mom who’s desperate for a grandchild, her picked-up-from-the-bus-stop guest, and a caterer that just can’t stop talking. Carly Pope has a few great one-liners in this film xD – 4/5

The Fountain was just plain awesome to watch. The visuals of the film are superb, and the story is so freaking out there – some will hate it, some will love it for sure. The film is about a couple dealing with death, parallel in three different times. HOWEVER, it can also have a different interpretation. It’s really open, but it’s good because it’s different to so many films. – 4/5

And last but no least… Pirates 3. It was a decent film, the effects and action sequences were great as expected. Davy Jones looked as great as Pirates 2, Barbosa was decent, and Jack was great as always. The film didn’t work out for me because I had an issue with introducing all those international pirates, and not using them. What a waste! Even if Chow Yun Fat was pretty good in his few minutes of film – I wish he could’ve been more important. It was just pure filler – and I wished for Elizabeth to just be an independent woman, captain of Sao Feng’s vessel, and king of all pirates~ I hated she had to marry… and I sorta disliked I got an expected ‘happily ever after’ ending. Besides, Jack/Elizabeth kiss on Pirates 2 was hot. Hands down. Lol – 3/5
