Gandalf?

Bilbo Baggins...

My dear Gandalf!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH

Oh my god, once I saw this on the search page, I had goosebumps. I WANT THIS SO MUCH!!! For once I want to have a backyard or a garden and a small wooden gate with this beautiful sign made by GelertDesign on Etsy.

Love love love love love love love Bilbo (even though he was quite distasteful in the Fellowship of the Ring. That shows what age does to people). He was the first hobbit who left Shire for an unexpected journey because of dwarves invading his house and a tall wizard, with a big grey beard and pointy hat! Don't you feel inspired?!

Oh well. I will cry and cry and cry forever when the day comes for me to watch the Hobbit trailer (probably tomorrow). Just cry and cry and cry and have no mood to watch the movie I paid for (probably tomorrow). Oh yes, I went to watch Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol with Su Mei today and it was so exciting! My heart was beating really fast! And you could feel so much pain by just watching Tom Cruise getting his face smashed by the window pane. Ouch. Sometimes we wish for a teleport machine. It would make things better.

Technology, where are you?! Nah, it's better not to invent a teleport machine; it could be dangerous especially with perverts and terrorists and whatsoever. Send me a Nightcrawler then.

Get into the Mood!

The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began…

I was so tempted to rename my blog "MARTIN FREEMAN!!!!" since it also starts with a letter "M". I love the letter "M". Letter "M" is what you need... when you take a map. Need to see the Middle Earth, keep your nose out of trouble. "M" begins mountains, which are really nice to see. Once you put your smoking pipe on, munch on salted pork. "M" goes: MAMAMAMAMAMAMMAMAMAMAMAMAMA

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, search "Ricky Gervais Celebrity Lullaby" on Youtube. For Ricky's version, it's the letter "N". I'm not a genius like Ricky Gervais, but whatever. The song doesn't need to have the letter "M" everywhere. Here's the melody to help you in the ability to see the Shire… the Brandywine River… Bag End… Gandalf's fireworks… the lights in the Party Tree. AAAHHH FRODO!!! Okay, so that's it for today even though it is quite random. Come on, I'm here to promote The Hobbit! 

Cold Winds

I love the weather nowadays; I could wake up thinking that it's still 8 a.m and realise that it's actually 10 a.m. Afternoons don't feel like afternoons, the Sun is dwelling in the shadowside, and I'm existing as a mere human. Well, I finished two seasons of 灼眼のシャナ and now starting on the third and final season!

I was reluctant to watch it at first because the drawing turned me off, and the concept was good. Something about the power of existence, people who consumed by a Rinne or a Guze no Tomogara (in other words bad people) will become Torches. These Torches (as the name suggests) are temporary replacements of the lost humans and would die out, thus erasing the whole existence of the humans. Even though these humans have close relationships with other humans, they are completely forgotten once these Torches extinguish. Of course, there are good people who are called Flame Haze, and they maintain the balance of existence by exterminating those bad people. There you have it, a girl named Shana and a stupid bastard named Yuji, a Flame Haze and a Mystes (it's a special type of a Torch, because he carries a treasure) respectively. And fighting... and love... and jealously... but it's not bad.

Everytime I would get so frustrated because Shana is unable to express her feelings for Yuji properly and Kazumi (another human who loves Yuji) keeps hindering Shana and Yuji's path to love. URGH! Okay, here's a spoiler since no one would watch this: at the end of the second season, Kazumi and Shana decides to ask Yuji to choose the girl he wants by arranging a meeting with him at the same time, but different places.

And it ended, with Shana looking so happy (as you see above), hinting that Yuji has chosen her. To my dismay, the first episode of the third season, it was revealed that Yuji appeared before her but there was a huge distance before them, he smiled at her, and disappeared. DISAPPEARED??!!!  I was so angry!!! And my eyes filled itself with tears for Shana. SIGH!!! My Shana. How can Yuji wound her heart like this?! MWAHAHA I love Shana. 

Not smitten, I just admire her a lot. She's really strong, powerful and very very clever. She's also really stubborn and all, in this sense I feel for her. As a viwer of the show, I'm watching over her. Sigh... just kidding. Sadly, she's really short, but that doesn't matter because hobbits are always welcome! Especially Martin Freeman! Search him up if you don't know him, come on, HE'S BILBO! And he is John Watson, he won an award at BAFTA for that role. And my expression:

That's exaggerated. Anyway, I have been watching videos of Galinda/Glinda's (Wicked) Popular scene to settle my tastes and preferences. I actually like the one who came to my country to perform, Lucy Durack, because she was really perky and funny with her high-pitched and nasal voice. I did imagine Glinda to be someone like that, someone so blonde... you know what I mean. Kristin Chenoweth, the original Glinda, was of course my top favourite; I simply adore her voice because it is sweet to listen to. Glinda is a sweet girl, isn't it? And I love how the different Glindas have different ways of how to flirt with boys. Also, there was a video, concerning the scene where the cast sings "Dancing Through Life"; it's a scene when Glinda finds love, with the entry of the boy named Fiyero. It was so hilarious because the song goes something like this:

Both: It's clear we deserve each other
Glinda: (spoken) You're perfect
Fiyero: (spoken) You're perfect
Both: So we're perfect together 
              Born to be forever... 
              Dancing through life...  

And because Glinda forgot to sing after Fiyero said "You're perfect", she was smiling all the way, with Fiyero singing by himself. Which was utterly hilarious because he was singing the background vocals, and he looked so serious about what he was saying, while Glinda was just in her own world.

Well, I won't talk about it anymore because you can watch it all yourself. Shake shake shake!

Not forgetting something important, I added a playlist of songs at the side for fun, so if you feel like getting into some Christmas mood or angelic mood (like Libera's Air... even though it's not a Christmas song, it makes you float in the air. It's perfeeeecccttt for Christmas!!) you can check it out. I wish you a merry christmas!

For now, I'm DANCING THROUGH LIIIIIIIIFFFFFFFEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Die

 

It's the trailer de gozaru. Life is hard, why Kenshin played by Satou?! Ashamed that I am, I can't wait to watch this movie because it's a movie based on the animation that reigned in my childhood. I didn't believe it when my sister told me he would be Kenshin, sigh. Leave Kenshin alone or I will call upon my Fuzetsu and fight you! Cough, too much Shana influence. I must retreat from this.

One of the curly haired men that you guys ought to know. Well, I mentioned him before and he's no other than Mats Hummels! 

Actually, I don't have much photos of him because the folder is dominated by Neuer himself. Mats looks offended... oh no. That's not good, I should post a better picture.

Mats: Nah, it doesn't matter... It's the thought that counts.
Me: Don't say that... and you shouldn't be drinking juice on your big day.

Yes, that's right:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATS!!!

Thanks for the great times. It's always a joy to see you play on the field, and watching your mop of hair flying in the wind. By the way, please ask Ozil to cut his hair. Alright, now back to my Shana darkness again. Fuzetsu!!! WOO HOO!!! Don't shoot me Santa... believe me... Santa, Santa.

What made you smile today? Or what did you do that made you feel good?

Well, I thought I should drop by and post this video up because it did make my day. Somehow it is strange to see The Killers in this type of atmosphere; I really love Dave and his curly hair. He's so adorable. Sometimes I wish I could give him a hug and tell him how I adore his curly hair.

Only a few can carry that type of hairstyle off. Yes, it was the part when the bad guys came to the town, and Dave wielded his gun - it made me smile.

Okay, back to my Shana darkness.

Shoxx column Red MoteL - 16th episode: Ruki - The episode of "Ruki's blood type character analysis"

Hello everyone. How are you? I'm writing this episode inbetween producing songs. Lately it has gradually become colder and the season in which one longs for the company of other people has arrived. In the morning it's impossible to get up from the futon. If you can fall asleep for a second time it's a blessing, right ... yeah. Aah, this reminds me of my highschool time. Well, certainly back then one couldn't help to be lazy, right (laugh). Eh, well, let's come to the theme Kai-kun has assigned to me. Being a B-Type person is tough, right, even if you're not doing anything, aren't you still being told "Stop it!"? Also, if new acquaintances ask you "What blood type are you?" and you say "I'm B-Type!" they will certainly answer "You seem a lot like it." (cries). Why's that? I'm even told this by the members. Have you also had such experiences before? Lately I've lost some things. Just the same as Kai-kun, right (laugh). Then I'm also told that I'm spoilt/selfish, but this has nothing to do [with one's blood type], everyone is selfish! Yeah. What has also happened often before were things like, I sharpen a pencil and even though I put it right in front of me I go and buy myself a new one without realizing ... lately there have also been a lot of  similar things ... like I take out my keys and go out while swining them in my hand but leave without locking the door! No such experience? That's why I'm scared of such a me lately; I wonder whether I've become senile (laugh). Anyway, what I want to say is, let's stop judging people because of their blood type. B-Type persons are certainly good people. We~ll, I guess I can't convince you; It will be Christmas soon, right. The feeling in this city is nice. Let's look forward to it! Having said this, the next topic will be "Christmas dinner"! If it'll be Kentucky, o-kaa-san is going to be sad ... well then, let's meet at the lives ! Ciao

I share empathy with him, seriously. Also, be it blood type or not, people are just born the way they are. It is funny how I used to believe in how personalities are shaped by blood types (actually every now and then) but the theory is ridiculous - it only makes me depressed because my blood type is not suitable for JIRO's (yes, I am B-type too). Somehow I am selfish, probably self-obsessive in my own way wwww it doesn't sound nice, but yeah, as what Ruki said, everyone is selfish! It just depends on the degree of selfishness, yes.

Darn, my pimple just burst. Oh well, whatever it is, I think accepting oneself is most vital. It is true when people say that one is his own enemy because we are often fighting ourselves even if we don't acknowledge it. People can think of anything they want, be it blood type or whatever, you are you. I don't know anyone who is as human as you are. HAHAHHAHAA Ahem, that's a line from Devil May Cry 4. Just the other day I was able to do something to my earphones that made everything that my phone sound instrumental (you know, karaoke), so I played my DMC4 videos and started voice acting. HAHAHA It was awesome.

Oh well, now I shall return to reading other translations of Ruki's columns.

(P.S: I'll shall post my favourite song from Wicked. You wonder why it's my favourite, well, it's because it suits my jaded lifestyle.)

Wicked - Dancing Through Life

Back at You

via www.vogue.it

Sigh, I watched Wicked the Musical today and there was this character named Fiyero (who was the lover of Elphie...). It's quite heartwarming to watch this musical after growing up with it because my brother went crazy about it one day and somehow the influence came over me to the point that I would isolate myself in a room, play the instrumental album (my brother bought that too) and pretend that I was part of the musical itself, singing and having identity shifts, &c. Until now, I don't like the wizard of Oz. Yes, about Fiyero, because of his curly hair, I couldn't help but imagining Francesco Carrozzini in his place. They really look alike from faraway. Isn't it strange for a photographer/director to be singing on stage? My imagination is great.

I don't know. Sometimes I wish I could see the world in his eyes because it just seems so different. His purpose in life, his passion, &c. I really respect him. It would be great to work for him, if he even needs any help. You know, lighting... wires... Never mind.

(the picture above is one of his recent works. I really love how the model stands out with the sunlight shining upon her. It's somewhat like a-ha's Hunting High and Low album cover by Just Loomis, where the people in the surroundings would move and the only people in focus would be, of course the a-ha members. It's really nice. Sigh.)

It is not Christmas without Bing Crosby.

 

Smokin' Stylish!

I completed my Devil May Cry 4 in two days, that's too fast. It was easier than I expected but I keep getting lost especially in the forest ruins. There was only a couple of times when I got "Smokin' Stylish" when I was fighting. It was that horrible, I am replaying it again to improve in my stylishness. I really hate those leg Scarecrows. And yes, who could forget, Vergil is in Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom! Old news, but I watched a video of the DMC in which the player used Vergil to defeat his opponent. Seriously, I knew how powerful Dante was, and how weak he was (he dies really fast, sigh) but I didn't want to believe that. NOOO DANTE! My Trickster, Swordmaster, Gunslinger, and Royal Guard!!! My sexy man. HAHAHAH

In fact, there was one part where Nero had to fight him because Dante wanted Yamato back (it's Vergil's katana) and I screamed all the way during the whole fight because I didn't want to hurt Dante. Dante himself kept attacking me so I was so close to using a Gold Orb. That's retarded. Okay, let's divert our focus away from all this jargon.

I am in the middle of watching an old tear-jerker (actually, 1 Litre of Tears was worse) named 世界の中心で、愛をさけぶ. It's kinda irritating because the video files are a little corrupted so the media player keeps shutting off. For instance, it's a scene where it is so freakin' sad and tears are forming in my eyes and the momentum is lost because the media player just shuts off. That sucks. Oh well, I will still watch it anyway. 

Continuing from the previous entries, yes, Luke Evans got me back to James McAvoy because I truly miss the cuteness the little guy emits. Somehow I would also miss Billy Boyd (well, he was the sole reason why I named myself Billy in the first place) because Scottish men in general are adorable. They have an adorable accent and their average height is also cute. HAHAHAHA Okay, whatever. This movie is called for Starter for 10, which was quite inspiring, especially for a student who is waiting to apply for an university degree like me. Knwledge is indeed power, but it is not always about giving the correct answers but asking the right questions. That idea was stuck in my mind as an Arts student myself because there was never a definite answer in any of my subjects (I can feel people nodding in agreement wwww)

It's nice to see how one picks himself up after a terrible mistake. Oh James, you adorable boy. Benedict Cumberbatch is acting as a bastard in the film but that makes us want to hug him even more, so yes, you should watch the movie. Apparently, Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie pretty good reviews; it's just an average movie yet really satisfying, I must say. I never seen James stoned before. I'm not sure if we call that "stoned" anyway.

Here's West Side Story, a film that was made in 1961. Unfortunately, I have no intention of showing you the main couple that the story revolves around because the loverboy is not charming in any way. It was painful to watch them because I prefer Maria's brother (the man wearing the purple shirt above) to go with Maria. They look more compatible.

Sigh. He died. I will spoil the story for you because I don't think you will watch it anyway. It was quite tedious, I got tired of the dancing and all. The chemistry between Maria and Tony (her loverboy) was so fast that it seemed so artificial. Hello, this fairytale does not work in reality. You don't sing a song and fall in love with each other to the point that you want to marry each other instantly. That, is bullshit. Himono-onna........................................

Which reminds me now that I see this picture. Unlike Diyana who is already working, I am staying at home rotting away to the point that I didn't even want to take out the bread and spread nutella on it for breakfast because I was too lazy. Too lazy to get off my chair to have lunch. Too lazy. Too lazy. I say, it's a withdrawal-from-junior-college syndrome. After having the strong urge to do work, somehow this fire has died down and became detrimental to my suffering soul. Oh poor suffering himono-onna that I am! I should stop being lazy and earn myself a living.

That's it for today. I am actually waiting for Ilyas's brother to finish Batman Arham City so that I can borrow it. Seems better that way. GERMANY GERMANY GERMANY! YOU GOTTA WIN EURO LEAGUE 2012 (even though you are in a group of death). Well, you guys must be wondering why I talked about this after Batman:

Apparently, my sister sent me a picture through e-mail today. As you can see above, Batman represents Germany and JOKER as England. MWAHAHAHAHAHA ENGLAND'S GONNA DIE. My condolences to the English football fans. You cannot deny the overwhelming power of Die Mannschaft. GO GO GO GO!!!! I'm so excited. 

That's all for today! I shall return to my To Love-ru darkness. Cough cough. I mean my movies and PS3 darkness. By the way, I don't watch To Love-ru - I am just quoting Switch's words during the SKET DANCExGintama crossover episode. Oh yes, it's gonna be Christmas, here's a song to listen to:

 

Il Volo - Silent Night

HAHAHAHAHA this is not the best cover of the song (I was thinking of putting one of Libera's songs instead. Ahhh angelic voices. Maybe next time) but whatever. I respect these young talents in exposing the world to operatic pop. I love love love it. 

 

Pets

I had nothing better to do (since it is too late to play Devil May Cry 4 now), I gave a petpet to my neopet. Here's my conversation with the petpet (please ignore the name of my neopet, I was really young and stupid when I made this account).
