Jeux D'enfants



Yesterday i was just talking about La Vie En Rose, and today i watch this movie Jeux D'enfants. And the whole time in this movie were only playing the La Vie En Rose song as soundtrack. Talk about coincidence, right? I did not plan any of these to happen. Well, maybe i help a little in unconscious way. I do admit that these few months I've been having a french fever. I quit learning Japanese and start learning French instead. In my defense, Japanese is not easy to learn okay! And to make the matter worse, Japanese has 3 types of writing, Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji. Omg, Kanji is the hardest of them all. Till this day i only know to write 12 Kanji characters, which are, number 1 - 10, river and father. So, that's it. I give up. I simply give up. Don't judge me.

So, why French? Why not Italian? I did do some weighing between those two. I must say that i was tempted to go for Italian after reading Eat Pray Love. Attraversiamo, Liz Gilbert favorite word. True though, my tongue nearly have an orgasm pronouncing that word alone. I bet Italian must have words that far more exotic than that one. And that is the problem. To me it's an exotic language. Too hot for me to handle. And if i may get a grip, i afraid that i just lost control. That is why i choose French. It's soft and warm to my ear. You know, i have been practicing Jai Deux Amour song for a while now. I should have no problem karaoking it now.

Okay, talk about the movie Jeux D'enfants, any of you who might interested to check out this movie, it has an english title Love Me If You Dare. Overall this movie is okay. Kind of sweet in it's own way. But i don't understand the ending. Did they grew old together or did they end their life together?

La Vie En Rose

I want to fall in love. Over and over again. Why do good things always come to an end? Why is it when love stay for quite some time it began to turn into a commitment? Why don't we fall in love every day?

Well, don't mind my frustration. Here is the song that swept me off my feet. It's by Lisa Ono.

It's one of the most beautiful thing that i ever heard in my existence.





Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Qu'll me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ça m'fait quelque chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est toi pour moi
Moi pour toi dans la vie
Tu me l'as dit, l'as juré, pour la vie
Et dès que je l'aperçois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat

Katie Macalister

She just become one of my favorite author. I have finished reading 8 of her dragon books yesterday. Now, I'm waiting for her book "The Unbearable Lightness of Dragons" which scheduled to be release on May 3rd next year. In the mean time, i plan to check out her other books too. But, all i know is that i love her dragon books. It's mind blowing, smart, sexy and ticklish. In fact i would say that Katie Macalister dragon books, are just like Harry Porter for adults. So, anyone who loved Harry Porter will definitely love this as well. So, here's a tip for those who might want to check out these dragon series, you should start reading from "Aisling Grey" series, then moved to "Silver Dragons" series and lastly is the "Light Dragons" series.


Aisling Grey Novel





Silver Dragons Novel





Light Dragons Novel




So, lets talk about transforming the book into motion picture. I have lined up a few actors for some of the characters in the book. Let see if i did the job here.


Meet my Drake. Eric Bana is no doubt should play as Drake. And he should pull that look as he did in "Troy" movie.





And this is my Aisling Grey. Amy Adams got all the look to be Aisling Grey.




As for Matthew McConaughey, which character do you think he suit best? It is very difficult to find a hunk with dimples, you know. So, say hello to my Gabriel.




I know that i can be a little ................. sometimes. I know i'm not some big Hollywood producer that i can just pin-point anybody to be in my films and give them a call, "hey Amy, how you like to be my Aisling Grey?". But, it's nothing wrong to dream away. So, just let me be. This is my world and i'm comfortable here. Besides, Katie should know best how her character should look like.

Hobby

Last month when i started collecting coins, my sister told me that i am just bored. She's damn right. I am a boring person and i am bored to death. The thing is that i feel empty. I don't have a hobby that i can stick to until the end. I have nothing to show or post on my Facebook wall. I tried collecting stamps but lost all my stamps in 1990. Then, i tried to play guitar but i quit before i even know all the chords. Now, i start to read books. Not in a hobby manner but more like an obsession. To my understanding, a hobby is something that you do in your leisure time, right? But now the books are more like drugs to me. I can't stop thinking about the book ending, which is why I'm so eager to quickly flap the pages. So what did i do during my leisure time? I guess that would be the question my therapist is going to ask me. Only if i had one. If i had my own therapist i wouldn't be having this blog. So, back to the question, what have i done in my free time? Err..sleep? Yes, i sleep most of the time. Or i wouldn't called it sleep but resting. But there is no such thing as resting is a hobby. Because hobby is a doing 'something' thing. And resting is the opposite of that. I wish i could be like the Penelope girl (played by Rachel Weisz) from the Bloom Brothers movies. Her hobby is collecting hobbies. So she end up becoming expert in almost anything. How cool is that?

So, just to give update on my new found hobby, which is reading (currently) by the way, I'm having a marathon tonight, with the Immortal series by Alyson Noel.

My song, our song

Everybody has their own song. Be it is a song about love or about a heart break or about life or about anything at all. As long as the lyrics sing what is in your heart, it is your song. One's song does not faded away with time. Nor it will not grow old. As you will never be tired of it. Maybe it was nearly a decade when you last hear it, but every time it caught you unexpectedly played on the stereo when you driving home, or when you're in the mall, or anywhere at all, you'll take a pause to listen it. It's a special song that it can bring back the very same feeling as you have had when you listen to it years back.

So to speak, i also have my own songs. Three songs to be exact. Each at different stages in my life. The first of course, was when i had my first crush. It's an important part of my life okay? It was when i first had feeling towards the opposite sex. But the the crush did not bring me anywhere as i was a coward to be on a date with him. He did ask but i turned it down even if i'm dying to say yes, just because i'm too shy. Silly me. I wish he'd be a little more persistence back then, because if he did, he might just be my first boyfriend. So every now and then, when i heard Joy Enriquez's song i cannot help but wonder, what if.




Love of a lifetime would be my second song. It's a song that reminded me of my first boyfriend. He declared that this should be our song. But the relationship did not last long. Though the song says a lifetime, what's an irony. Still, it is special to me. I don't want to elaborate further on my first relationship because it's sensitive and private to me. So let it go.



This Kenny Rogers' song titled She Believes In Me is what Mr. Current Boyfriend declared as our song. It first echoed to my ear when it sang by a guy with piano at a hotel bar while we're having our dinner. So he instantly decided at that very moment that it should be our song. I guess that was the time when he is beginning to fall in love with me. Can't blame him for that. But to me, i rather keep this song in the KIV box. He'd be furious if he know that i wasn't keen enough of this song.


But then, every song is replaceable. Just like the one spot in your heart where it's made for your other half to stay. Doesn't matter whether you are still on the search or have settled with the one you claimed to be the one. It is it's nature to come and go. But only the special one will leave a song for you to reminisce.

All Souls' Day



Happy All Souls' Day everyone.

I'm back to my hometown today. I never thought that one day, November 2nd, would matters so much to me. It has been 2 years now since my father passed away. Yet, still it feels just like yesterday. Trying to live the first year without him was the hardest part of all when he had always been my rock. It was then, when i started to disgust hope, faith and most importantly God. I was angry at God so much that i wish He will condemn me so i will cease to exist. Well, i am not angry with God now as i have back then. I don't know when the feeling receded. I guess i just stop feeling. I block God from entering to my life. I stop going to church and i stop talking to God. I have friends coming at me asking me to give God a chance, as of letting Him once again into my life. But i resent it. So now i have been living without God for almost 2 years now. Maybe He still here for me, or maybe not, i don't care. I admit that living without any faith to hold on to can be very lonely sometimes. But at least, there will no one or nothing will let me down.

How do you let go without good bye?
