Saddest movie I watched was Schindler's List. I was bawling like a child when I watched it for the first time and that was a year ago. I always evaded those kind of films, but when I felt the need for some existentialism chugged down my throat, I dared to watch it. Another film was The Color Purple, Wit (Emma Thompson was amazing in this television film), My Sister's Keeper, The Way We Were. Even Toy Story 3 teared me up at the part where Andy was leaving for College. I sort of realised the childhood I missed will never come back as time went on. The English Patient was an all time favorite book and the film was something that tugged a chord in my heart's string. The Kite Runner was probably the only movie that made me cry like I knew my death's schedule. Cause I don't weep, tears just silently fall down my cheeks. And the chest pain is what agonises me to hum the palpitations of my heart. I watched the film in my sociology class. And I had to excuse myself to the lavatory for me to weep in a cubicle. It reminded me so much of the lesson of sacrifice, and how so many of us recognise it as losing a part of ourselves in the process, while not realising that we gain more in return. One Korean film which I randomly flicked on the telly on one boring Monday morning, had me asking for questions about the cosmos and life when I was 15. It was a film called Peppermint Candy. I didn't cry but I felt ridiculously morose for weeks, worrying that my life would end like the protagonist. And to answer the question of why I watch sad movies, I watch sad movies to complete a part of me that yearns to seek the solitude of comfort that my life problems at the moment, are far from the realities of what the film I'm watching portrays. And since films are a reflection of our life's relevance, it basically means that there are shittier things people experience than what I'm experiencing. Most people watch sad movies because it creates a balance of surrealism, which creates a paradox that despite the problem one experiences, we feel happy that our lives are not a reflection of the tragedies that the film's narrative express. And watching sad movies makes us reflective of our own lives, which in turn creates a composite of our own problems, and provides us a temporary or permanent solution that everyone in this entire planet deals with pain, sorrow, angst, despair, hatred, and any negative feelings derived from sadness. It's funny that what we say is contrasting of what our brains relates. We may say that "Oh, I feel sad that the lead actor die." whereas, our subconscious is telling us that "At least if you die, you know you're loved." or "If you die like the actor in the film, you know you have time to change your path unlike the lead actor that tragically died of cancer with tons of regrets." Most of us become proactive, most of us become compassionate, most of us feel more human and more alive than we were, because we identify the most basic of emotions which is sadness, in contrast to happiness that our mind consolidates to create a healthy balanced mindset. Unless of course you're the kind of person who is pessimistic of your own life, and instead of accepting that your life is better than the life of the protagonist of the film who has tragically passed away, you focus on the similarities. . . Then you're probably depressed and needs psychological help. Because not everyone wants to be sad all the time, and not everyone feels like being happy every time (that's just crazy and creepy). . . Sadness helps us reflect on the lives we lead, and happiness helps us celebrate the lives we have. And sad movies basically helps us interpret the sadness we feel of our own lives, in contrast to the happiness to the thought that we have a chance to make our lives better.

My guilty pleasure is. . . I always sing when I cook and it's a must that I need to have music. I have this thing that the kitchen is my temple, and no one, I mean NO ONE is to disturb me, especially if I'm cooking something for that person or for everyone. Or if I have people around, I'd put my headset on and they'd know never to bother me. I gave my ex the evil eye one time for having a sneak-taste of the lasagne I was cooking. I nearly shoved his head in the oven. He said to me, "Okay okay. I'm backing off. . . I'm backing off now." And I also like to watch trash T.V. it makes my life normal that I don't have those issues that people have. I'm not saying the issues that are relevant, more like the ones wherein the actors in the show are discussing, "HOEMAHGAHD! I've got the wrong nail polish on. I'm gonna die. I can't live like this."

I did like the first twilight book, up until the point where so many words were being repeated that my brain was substituting some of the words. And then I realised that I have to put myself in the place of a lustful-pubescent teenager and a vegan vampire for me to actually enjoyed the book. I first read Twilight back in 2006 when not many people knew who Bella Swan is. In comparison to when I read Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, the writing style wasn't that praiseworthy either. It took until the third book of J.K.Rowling to realise that her writing style has improved vastly and the character development has flourished through the years. However, when New Moon came out, I was ecstatic and was expecting that the book would be better because it had great potential (In all honesty, the book had great potential) but, faltered to reach a level of depth that you'd expect from readers who eventually grew up a year older or two. But in reality, for example: let's say I was 15 when I read the Twilight, and I was 17 when New Moon came out. The problem would be is that the writer expects me to think like a 15 year old, whereas, my mind has matured incrementally within the 2 years span. I'm not saying that it applies to everyone but that's the whole notion right. That's why a lot of people appreciated the Harry Potter series because, young and old, there were elements that transgressed beyond the age of any reader who has followed the footsteps of anyone who grew up with the book. The book wasn't written well, but the book could have been written well within the following books that came after. I think, and this is my opinion, Stephanie Meyer got importuned by the fame of her own work that it affected her as a writer to grow from her weaknesses, and instead, replaced what she lacked with what the readers wanted - a vampire love story.

Just went to a pub with a bunch of friends last week and they were playing disco music. I was like, "Hang on, this isn't a pub. . . This is a frigging club!" Mind you, every ornate object that resonates a typical british pub is visible in the ambience, except that we couldn't hear a word anyone was saying. And as we were sitting in the stool, miming our very thoughts, some blokes who couldn't be bothered, were watching footy like they were mind reading what the narrator was saying despite all anyone could hear was techno-music. There should be a new genre called techno-pub music. We got out after 3 hours. And we were screaming our lungs trying to speak to each other because I think all of our earwax rushed out ours ear in desperation. Funniest pub ever! As for this film. I can't wait!!! SOOORRR excited.

Getting addicted to this song. "Cause you are the piece of MEAT I wish I didn't need Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why" I wish they changed "Me" into "Meat" to make it more sensible for us vegans. HAHA.

This is the burgeoning age where Regina George from Mean Girls would become a guy (Tyler George), and her bunch of BFF's would be men, vying for the crown of Prom King. And Cady Heron would be a guy, (Cody Heron). Oh the Drama! The Drama. . . That is something I'd want to watch in a teen-gay film 20 years from now.

I'll quote my favorite lines in a movie to better explicate this situation for you. The stages of a relationship can be defined by farting. Stage 1 is the conspiracy of silence. This is a fantasy period where both parties pretend that they have no bodily waste. This illusion is very quickly shattered by that first shy 'ooh did you fart?' followed by the sheepish admission of truth. This heralds a period of deeper intimacy, a period I like to call the "fart honeymoon", where both parties find each other's gas just the cutest thing in the world. But of course no honeymoon can last forever. And so we reach the critical fork in the fart. Either the fart loses its power to amuse and embarrass, thereby signifying true love or else, it begins to annoy and disgust, thereby symbolizing all that is blocked and rancid in the formly beloved. In other words, there's no point in being friend zoned and expecting that a relationship will spark in the future. You have to be frank and honest with him if he likes you or there's a possibility inkling somewhere. I cannot make assumptions that he's attracted to you for him to say that he will like you. And I cannot make theories that he will like you because there's so much in common between the two of you. Ask, and you shall receive. But don't text barrage him for 50 times with a text that says, "DO YOU LIKE ME? TELL ME NOW SO I CAN MOVE ON! PLEASE, I BEG YOU!" in all caps. Or else, you might have a restraining order delivered on your door step. And the next time you see him, it will have a 500 meter restriction for you.

Oh... The Shinobi (ninja) definitely. They are the assassins of the 14th century feudal Japan - definitely could pawn you for good. The fact that so little is known of their origins; it makes you assume a lot of things in retrospect to their culture and system of warfare. If you want a more diverse tackling of this genre, I suggest you proceed with ninjas. Not only can you create a fire breathing ninja, a poison totting ninja, a disfigured pageant queen ninja, a turtle-head sleepy ninja, a sexy conjoined female cyclops ninja . . . the list is endless. Wherein with Samurais . . . Yeah, they have a sword that could split you in half. But seriously, can they backflip while in mid-air, spit poison while releasing a ray gun out their mouths, while bombarding you with shurikens? (Defend that you boring samurai!) Ermm . . . I don't know. I'm biased against samurais, since Samurai X or Rurouni Kenshin has pretty much donned everything about samurais. And honestly, the anime series has even utilised the use of shinobis, just to make it interesting. Most samurai literature has focused on the discipline of the code. Ninja stories are more diverse and has that my-imagination-is-crazy-so-you-better-prepare-for-it kind of style. Well, to each their own.

Technical writing seem to work for me, or the art of business language. It seems more appropriate when dealing with people whom I've never spoken to personally or have seen in the light of day. It somehow gives a recipient a sense of distance and civilised authority that what I mean is business, not personal. And even if the person I'm corresponding wants to digress with my tone of language - they somehow begin to act civil. And only if my full explanation of my opinion does not reach that person's level of emotional understanding, would I then choose to leave the conversation with a light note. Writing is an art. And if you can't manage your way to pacify an argument whilst via online, e-mail, text, or any form of electronic messaging we have in our modern use, then all you need is to better yourself. And if the person you're arguing with is a dick or an imbecile who likes to fan the flame of discord; all you can do is think that you're more civilsed than the person and just choose to walk away. Irregardless of their behaviour, personality, mood, tone, inflection, attitude, traits, or values; choosing to walk away in a silly argument is the best option rather than trying to convince them that you're right. You can however convince them that they're being a dickhead by: (a.) walking away, (b.) attacking them and acting like a moron yourself, or (c.) underlining that you're emotionally healthy than to deal with arguments made for 6 year olds. However, trying to convince them in siding with you . . . that's where disparities in religious beliefs, moral codes, values, political affiliation, gender, culture, and other factors that makes every person different, factor out in an argument. Hence, a thick skin, a healthy mind, a good disposition will always make you the better person in an argument in an online-messaging/internet wars. Because you'll know when to quit, and when to say to yourself: "Shit! I have an 8 O'clock appointment with my dentist. I better log off now."

How about Elfen Lied? Haha! Kidding... No, don't watch that. The anime God! Save The King was a pretty quirky anime. It's not entirely gay anime but the concept of free love was very entertaining. Especially if the King asks you out on a duel, which means he just proposed to you, to anyone irregardless of gender states and the king wins . . . then you're bound to marry him. It's a very entertaining idea.

February 23, 2004 APO AE 09316 British Royal Marines, Hospital Barracks, Baghdad Island, Iraq To: Mathew P. Trotter Dear Mathew, We have finally settled in our encampment at Baghdad Island two weeks ago. Do you remember when I told you that my dad had me tagging along on one of his business trips? I had the opportunity to see the splendor of this country ten years ago. Tigris River, and three other lakes that was stocked with colored fishes, the island’s flower gardens, rest

The letter archives comprise of collections of essays and letters written by: lovers, friends, brothers, sisters, acquaintances, and alike, which span across: generations, religion, culture, region, color, age, and of time. At a point in our existence, one must question oneself as to what makes the human condition. And these are but a sample of the processes of what people have in their lives.

He's too short for the role. He's only 5'11. And I think for a an actor to play the role of superman, he needs to have a unique voice that commands attention on the screen. That booming voice that you'd know he is the superman even if your eyes are close. With Brandon Routh, not so much. With Christopher Reeve, his voice was so distinct to hear especially when he was Clark Kent that up until now to this very second, I could hear Christopher Reeve say "Lois". But with Matt Bomer, I don't think he has that kind of voice to appeal to everyone as someone to be remembered. With Henry Cavill, as much as I'd like to vouch for him when I saw him at The Immortals, I'd still want to see if he could be stamped on my earlobes as the superman even if my eyes are shut close.

BWAHAHAHAHA... *coughs* Yeah. What he said.

An all natural looking superman with a scruff, a beard, unshaved man-hair... All looks fine to me. That's what a real man of steel should look like. Haha. Oh come on. I'm only going to watch this because of Henry Cavill. Ever since I watched his naked arse in The Tudors, you don't get decent PG-13 dreams from that. You get the lustful let's-go-make-some-babies-push-push-kind-of-scenario. I have no issues with regards to this remake. I think I'll be having more issues if the storyline doesn't fit the bill with all the hype. The one complain that I have though. Every female interviewer that crosses his way seems like they want to shag him. Superman should heat vision those wenches to toast.

I've watched a lot of videos like these in youtube within the hours of my non-existent social life. It's interesting to see that more videos are popping up in youtube nowadays. I didn't even know that there was a section like this in youtube up until I searched Rupaul's drag race wherein links associated to the gay culture emerged in my side bar. I would say that our society is definitely more accepting in this generation, however, there are also some parts of the world wherein the lash-back of the emergence of homosexuality into mainstream culture have been more critical and in some parts, is brought to some dangerous levels of homophobia. But we're getting there. As what Sophia Vergara would say, "Hooray... for the geys."

Oh that is sad. I guess I am to here to enlighten you guys about this wonderful drama and the hotness that is *ehem* armitage.

I'd have to say mine is: - Empire: Total Wars - Civilization - Mass Effect - Assasin's Creed - Metal Gear - Elder Scrolls - Age of Empire - Black & White - Sims - Final Fantasy - The Witcher - Warcraft - Disgaea - FIFA - Resident Evil - Call of Duty - Grand Theft Auto - Tomb Raider - Persona I'm more into turn-based strategy/real-time strategy games & RPG's.

The sound of water splashing reminds me that I need to pee. Haha. Water also has a calming effect on me. That's why I stay in the tub for at least an hour or so. I nearly drowned one time cause I slept in the tub for two hours. And swimming in a body of water is amazing too. The moonlight reflecting the sea at night is so relaxing. The coast guard thought my best friend and I were dry humping cause we were having so much trying to drown each other cause no one was around.

Yes. He's my future husband. Any qualms about that? Well... I have lots of future husband in the entertainment industry. Michael Fassbender, Jim Sturgess, Henry Cavill, Jamie Dornan, Colin Firth, Jeremy Irvine, Pre-nanny whoring days Jude Law, Will Ferrel, Seth Macfarlane... and lots more. I know. I'm a whore. So screw me! I mean... Sue me. Haha. I googled it now and I didn't know there's a tv series as well in america named North & South. The American one was a tv adaptation of John Lake's trilogy. And this series was an adaptation from the Elizabeth Gaskel's novel of the same name. Elizabeth changed the name to north and south due to the urging of her close friend, Charles Dickens - I suppose. I wouldn't say its all about the industrial era, but the story is more focused on the societal relationships and aspects of the worker-master thing. Because in honesty, I could see this novel being written as a social backdraft of the societal context derivative of Elizabeth Gaskel's time without a love story. It's just that the story has an underlying love story that in time slowly envelops the story. It's not like Pride & Prejudice wherein you know that it's a love story. BBC just did an amazing job putting such an ensemble cast that has that amazing chemistry. And the cinematography really made me feel like it was dated. I don't gush about tv series especially period dramas, but this one really takes the cake. And I would like Mr. Richard to pop out of that cake anytime soon.

I don't know if some people here like period dramas. But I am fond of period dramas, especially if it's well done. Much like the BBC's 1995 adaption of Pride & Prejudice starring Collin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. The 1995 adaptation is probably the best version of Pride & Prejudice brought on screen and so far the best chemistry between the two leads. And I'd have to say, this series brought the bag. When I watched a DVD from my exes condo named "North & South", I only got to view the first episode and I was immediately introduced to the hotness of Richard Armitage. I was like, "DAYYUMN! This motherfathering piece of stud-muffin is gorgeous in period clothing." not to mention his brilliant acting as Mr. John Thornton. And Daniella Denby-Ashe was amazing as well as the young Margaret Hale...she looks like a baby doll and her eyes is so pretty. I ordered a DVD of it on amazon around 4 years ago and I was so frigging excited to watch it... until my DVD player couldn't play the disc cause it was set in another region or something. So basically I still didn't get to watch the whole series. I eventually lost my DVD. Up until a few days ago I found the whole series up in youtube. I watched it twice now and kept having dreams of Mr. Thornton. I don't know why I watched it twice... It's probably the full satisfaction of the ending scene. Spoiler Alert: Wherein Mr. Thornton lovingly gazes at Margaret at the train station as they wait for the kiss. I just couldn't get my head around that scene. For a man to look at someone with ardent devotion and affection like the world's about to end... it makes me shit my pants that men are full of crap of nowadays. I just love period dramas. I adore the long courting, the small gestures that are so effectual yet short but full of significance to the development of the character relationships. And the whole, "My world has collapsed for my love has not sent me a letter. I shall jump on top of Big Ben as a sign of my undying devotion." kind of thing that most suicidal men and women at that time go through. I sure as hell would like someone to die for me. For I sure wouldn't want to die for them unless they look like Mr. Thornton and admiringly gazes at me everytime he says, " I loov yuh." So much for chivalry. Well, I want to know if people actually go for this dramas or this drama. (My future hubby after I time travelled in time) (My future wife - after Mr. Thornton leaves me for Mr. Darcy) (Mr. Thornton: Kiss me...) (Margaret: I wanna have your babies.) (Mr. Thornton: On our honeymoon. Coz I'm a gentleman. Kiss me.) (Margaret: Hang on. Let me get my tic-tac.)

HOWMAYGAHD! Harry Potter's gay? I always thought there was something kinky when Harry would say, "Engarde Leviosa! Now Bend!"

You didn't stay tuned for your city's Hunger Games? That's what probably happened next. Haha.

This is probably one of the stupidest questions I've ever encountered. And yet I can't stop myself from reading the thread responses. This question...It's like telling the world you're straight while sashaying yourself with a pink charmeuse dress while high-fiving everyone with a dildo *batteries not included* and saying, "You go Girl! I'ma eat yow pu**y" Unless you're Dennis Rodman of course.

I'm more of a graphic orientation player since I get bored easily with blocky graphics/animation *coughs minecraft* so I choose the PC. Although the comfort of sitting on a couch with potato skins beside you and a cold lagger while playing video games is tempting with the console genre. Mmm... Potato skins...
