  • Experiment Awards 2009

    Just for experiment purpose ONLY. Picking nominees during award season is a tough job, considering the people in charge have to sit through hundreds of films in a certain period of time to just pick them… then they probably have to see them once again to refresh their memories and pick a winner.

    Even like that, there’s still people upset about not nominated and nominated films… right? You know who you are~~ Stop complaining and do something.

    Amy's Experiment Awards 2009

    That’s why I wanted to do some experimenting… have our own awards. Well, no~ we don’t have the money to have famous people… or to have a proper ceremony, or to make our own awards to hand out physically. Actually, we have nothing but our will to watch films, comment and try to get others to watch those films, but that will be enough~~ I think.

    These would be the rules for films:

    1. All films, regardless of language, are eligible
    2. Only movies listed on IMDb on the year of the award, or released between February January to December in any city of any country around the world are eligible.
    3. Films with a very limited release, and/or problems with distribution will likely have points for them and might be eligible for the next two years.
    4. Since all the nominated films could be foreign, there will be no “Best Foreign Film” award.
    5. Sorry. No documentaries or shorts at the moment.

    Rules for the voters:

    1. To be able to nominate the films you watch throughout February to December, you must AT LEAST watch one movie a week. That means at least 48 movies that year. Of course you can watch all 48 films in December instead, but that’d be rushing it, no?
    2. Each voter must do their nomination (5 nominees per category) list by the first week of January (January 7th, duh).
    3. Official nominations will be announced three days later on January 10th.
    4. Voters will be able to choose their winners from January 11th to January 28th, allowing them to re-watch their nominations and/or watch the nominated films they couldn’t watch before.
    5. Winners will be announced by the end of the month on January 31st.

    Hmm… I think I covered most of all. If I have forgotten to deal with something, let me know on a comment or an e-mail. Also, if you’re interested in becoming a voter, make sure you do the same… e-mail, comment… anything. The more, the better the experiment will run, right?

  • Five Years Blogging!

    Woah~ I was just checking my Google Calendar, and holy! I saw “First Blog Anniversary” on February 13th – at first, I didn’t remember what I was talking about, but then I clicked on it and said “First blog published, 2004 on Flash”. And finally got it! Remember it!!! LOL’ And actually, I’m so good at keeping track of my stuff now, that I have a screencapture of what I was FIVE years ago.

    Amy's first blog - Feb2004 - 5th Anniversary

    I’m even a little ashamed. LOL – I made a quite-tacky-Flash-based ‘blog’ because I was taking Flash in Vancouver (I got a pretty good grade, btw). I remember the first post ever was to say that I had posted a review for 50 First Dates, and The Corporation. Of course I kept reviewing films, and it became tedious to handle all that data in Flash at the time without XML. Then I made one with XML, but still… I ended up with a HTML version just a few months later.

    And just for the sake of it, this is my first online portfolio – made also 5 years ago (but finished and uploaded in June).

    Changed? xD

  • How

    I feel I haven’t written anything in ages… so  this is new. ^^ Just wrote it a couple of hours ago.

    How
    How I’m looking at the picture,
    remembering the laughing and the tears,
    all the moments throughout those years.
    Sharing our fears,
    waking up at 4 am. some days,
    walking ’bout in a crazy haze

    How would I’ve known
    that I’d be so much in love
    with someone I met so many years ago.
    Where did you go?
    I haven’t seen you, or heard you call-
    We’re ten thousand miles apart or so.

    How am I supposed to reach you?

  • If Only

    Just taking apart my notebook. LOL’

    If Only

    I never thought that coming back
    would take a piece of heart apart
    and as time passed, each piece of heart
    just started fading away.

    I understood saying goodbyes
    was always a part of this life,
    but it’s never stopped this mind
    thinking about the time, if only…

    If only I hadn’t left,
    if only I’d pass this test,
    we’d still have the time.
    One more summer, one last fall…
    winter passes, springtime falls
    One more cycle, life and death.
    If only.

  • Taking the Leap

    So I asked my friend Jose (no, forget the joSE… say like JOse… lol) and he said okay, so I am sharing.

    One day, I was doing whatever I do at 3AM, and came up with a song that I titled Taking the Leap. No, I am not suicidal… Anyway, I liked how it turned out in my mind, but I’m musically talent-less, so I sent it to Jose, and he work with his music sutff that he does.

    We are not PRO, obviously… we don’t have fancy software… just some freeware called Audacity, and some crappy web-mics recording in mono. Care to listen to it? MP3 listening, lyrics and download after the break.

  • my handwriting sucks

    I have never liked my handwriting, in the history of my handwriting… NEVER EVER liked it. I don’t usually write much anymore… other than the usual post-it (and post-it writing is always crappier than usual) or some notes. I seriously can’t tell when I last wrote something on paper… maybe Julyssa’s letter last last week? But then, she can probably tell you how crappy it is… and my Kanji… no comments. xD

    So tonight, I decided to use the glass calligraphy pen (aka. my glass pluma) that Diana gave to me from her trip. ^^ – Gosh, you wouldn’t believe how hard I tried. xD

    Practicing Crappy Calligraphy
    In case you can’t understand my handwriting – “Hi, Diana! I wrote this with the pen you gave me. My hand-writing sucks BIG time. Sorry~ Amy Wong”

  • 6-Month Mark…

    So… I have noticed, I don’t know if you have, but I seem to have a 6-month mark. It’s basically me finding something, obsessing over it for 6 months, and then sort of… there? It’s still there, but not getting mad over it anymore.

    At least it’s been like that since Harry Potter… I am almost pretty sure. I pretty much disliked the last two books, for OBVIOUS reasons, some smart people might notice… and friends will pretty much know. So it all sort of crushed something inside of me…

    Main thing is, I don’t read as much as I was reading in my 2003-2006 period, but that’s another topic.

    Since then, I’ve been jumping fandoms… now, is it because some fandoms are not good? Or is it something about me? Can’t I hold my interest longer than six months??

  • How This Blog Works~

    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…
