To My Archangel

Happeh belated birthday to my dear (3rd) ex-husband whom I still love with all my heart and soul: SUGIZO!

I haven't been sharing his songs much with any of you lot on Friendster, because I've somehow been afraid of how you would accept his type of music... Sure, I spazz a lot about Gazette and MUCC and Yasu *wipes drool* and even Abingdon Boys School. I even chucked Hyde for him. Lolz. (Thank God I did, cos Hyde's such a disgrace now)

But not one of them can come close to the sheer magnificence of this man. Yeah so his niche is electronica, big deal. It doesn't matter to me in what way he reaches out to people.

It's his humbleness (uh ok so he only changed his attitude after Luna was born), his joie de vivre, his love for life and how he sees goodness in a world so bleak.

Viva Sugizo-san! So let me spread his infectious loving with a few of my most favourite songs (which I think everyone can accept and will love):

• Cosmo Miumiu | by Miu Sakamoto


• Alice | by Maki


• Dear Life | by Sugizo & the Spank Your Juice


• Deliver.. | by Sugizo

Birthday Shout-backs

Everyone told me to have a great time. So I did. By watching 'The Dark Knight' THREE times within 11 days. A sorta birthday treat for myself, ya know?

Well. Twenty five. That's me. Another one bites the dust.

Not surprisingly, I don't feel any older. Although I have been yaking on and on about gaining another digit. But being surrounded by so many people that I love certainly doesn't compel me to become ashamed of what I've achieved (so far) at my age.

Let's not get too sappy with the thank you speech, Arfah! Here goes nothing: Thanks to all my wacky friends who still love me during my craziness, to my two BFF who understands me the most, to my family for throwing a humble surprise party (who thought I wasn't too old for this?) and to all of you who sent smses and wishes!

It's Spanish Not Latin, Es Stupido

Hah. I just read someone's bulletin in which that person thought 'Sí' (which stands for 'Yes') is in Latin. C'mon people! I don't wanna be a meanie here but, that word is actually in Spanish while Latin was the language spoken in ancient Italy. Learn your languages and world cultures correct, aight?

*sigh* The weekend has come and gone. So what did I accomplish?

Nada. Because I didn't manage to go watch The Dark Knight again yesterday. My plan to join the girls was thwarted on Saturday morning when my sister sent an sms to remind me that I am (forced) to go to a musical theatre entitled "Forever Plaid" with my parents and her. She'd already requested (aka dictated) to me last Monday since she received free invites from school and I very stupidly thought that she wasn't serious.
I said "See You Later" to Christian 'Luscious' Bale and put on my moody mask to the play most of all because I was really exhausted after work. So I evilly conspired to sleep during the 1h+ plus show.

Weeell. I actually enjoyed the musical, didn't even felt sleepy. Although I did feel out of place - surrounded by the elderly and lots of current and former Assunta teachers, mind you - it was... quirkily entertaining and was a great exposure to what you call live stage acting/singing. A quartet of Yanks played by Britons? Now who would've thought they could pull it off so good? Lol.

Kamu Telah Diteg!

'Teg'??

Puahahahahah.

Well, that's what it's called in BM according to this online dictionary which I think is a bit atrocious.

Frankly, I don't even know the answer to that. Although I vaguely remember calling (or spelling) name tags as teg nama back in school. Uh huh, anyhoo...

kekeke. I had fun translating the song titles. :P

Let Me Rephrase That...

Yeah twinnie, you had me thinking about my most repeatable Shinhwa song. I kinda felt guilty and tak puas hati for not having an absolute answer to it. However, setting out my mind by naming only one or two or more songs as my utmost forever-listenable-song and conforming to that fact would make me call myself a liar.

Hmm. Probable explanations to this would be that I can't think of any at that time. Or I couldn't remember the titles. Or I like too many to come up with a few without thinking rationally. Perhaps...

My best reason? I guess I've always been the sort of girl whom regularly flits from one artiste to the next too easily. My music is always in-the-moment, at-that-exact-moment and constant-listening-right-at-that-moment. I'll have a certain album/song/artiste that I'd like and I'd bury myself deep by frequently listening to only that obsession.

But when something else catches my fancy, then I'd as easily jump onto a different obsession. And maybe, maaaybe, all the songs that I like would be exchanged with another.

It takes a couple of reminiscing to finally get back into a certain moment. That's why you hear me say things like "I haven't been listening to them for a long time" which would then lead to "I feel like listening to them again" or "I feel like listening to their whole discography ALL OVER AGAIN!"

I'm really not kidding when I say I haven't been listening to any certain band for a LONG time. Coz I'd have been busy-ing myself with something other than Shinhwa... or Luna Sea. Or any other bands that I say I'm in love with. Har har.

Yet no matter what, these two bands affect me pretty differently from any other favourites. They'd still be the ones who can time-warp me back to that exact same moment when I first giddily heard their songs. ;)

You DA Man!

set to induce tears

Feeling Tag-ish

Bailah and Farah have finally seduced coerced me into watching "Zettai Kareshi" (Crunchyroll's a gem, I tell you). Since my hopes of borrowing twinnie's downloaded eps has dashed, here I am waiting for the second episode to load.

Seems like Mich has bestowed upon me an official position: H Institute Principal. But let's change it to Headmistress, aight? Principal is too American.

Riiiite, on with the tag!
