Reflection

For the record, I'm not much into anime. And the only few animes that have really drawn my attention includes Samurai X, Bleach and Tsubasa Chronicles. But, I've kind of fallen behind the Bleach series. Too little time to keep up with the series as life has introduced some more important things for me to pursue.



The first moment I saw this series, it kind of clicked really well with me. Of course there are reasons. Anyway, this anime basically integrates characters from other anime into a single anime, Tsubasa Chronicles or Chronicle of The Wings.



This is probably one of the best fan art produced from the series that describes my dilemma. Look carefully.......

Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.

Blog Action Day

These days when the world thrives on Facebook or how Britney is screwing herself up and how celebrities are either ending up in rehab or in jail, there's hardly much left to figure out what actually matters. Today 15th October 2007 is Blog Action Day. And the theme this year is the environment. Well at least it is an important day in the blogosphere.

As some of you might know, the Nobel Peace Prize went to Al Gore and a bunch of IPCC scientists. Wow, you know despite all the work done by Al Gore and Co, global warming probably only nudged us a little here in Malaysia. But then again, Global Warming is a global effort and not just ONE man going around announcing the very important message "It's now or never.....". Still, I think there should be someone out there championing this cause to save our very own planet.


Some very interesting things about Global warming:

1. If you have been suffering from more severe allergy than usual, it is most likely due to global warming, since higher carbon dioxide emissions and global rise in temperature is thought to prod plants to bloom earlier and produce more pollen.
2. When was the last time you thought nothing could grow in the Artic? According to our very adventurous scientists, they've discovered that there's a higher level of chlorophyll in modern soils. Since our tiny arctic plants tend to get trapped in Arctic ice. When they melt and the temperature's higher, things will surely start growing right?
3. So apparently even genetic alterations are possible. When the Earth gets warmer, naturally some plants bloom earlier and animals which are able to adapt to this change in blooming time thus, have a better chance of catching up on the earlier food supply.....Its all about Survival of the Fittest. Hmmmmm where did I hear this from again...
4. Even mountains "grow" thanks to global warming. Glaciers are really heavy stuff. And the fact that they are real heavy prevents some mountains from "growing". Thanks to global warming, glaciers melt, losing some weight and the mountains slowly rebound. But thank goodness we don't need to memorize the new height for Mount Everest in the near future cause even if they do rebound, they wouldn't rebound so significantly in our lifetime.
5. Ever heard of satellites traveling faster due to global warming. Yup that's true. More carbon dioxide in the air, means less dense atmosphere and this creates less drag. Still cant quite get it?? Grab a Physics book then.....
   

Ok enough of global warming. Not that I don't care but there are just too many sites talking about it.

Some really interesting stuff to save our beloved planet:



Solar Backpack

These backpacks are equipped with solar cells and storage batteries. When exposed to sunlight, the cells charge the battery, which can then be used to keep your iPod, cell phone, PDA or digital camera running. A perfect choice for the environmentally friendly outdoor enthusiast.





Water Soluble Golf Balls

Ok this is real odd....
Give them environmentally friendly water soluble golf balls. Made from ground rawhide, the balls dissolve completely in water in about four days and leave behind no toxic residue.


Radio Flyer Earth Wagon

The Radio Flyer Earth Wagon is made from 100 percent recycled plastic. Featuring removable sides and durable construction, each classic wagon saves over 230 milk jugs from the landfill.



Some Ways You can Reduce Global Warming (quite obvious)

1. Change/Replace your most frequently used lights.
2. Heat and Cool smartly. In Malaysia, don't on your air-conds too long
3. Stop using your old, energy-inefficient appliances.
4. Reduce and recycle garbage
5. Don't drive so often. Car-pool or use public transport
   
6. Buy products which are energy-efficient
7. Buy cars that use more miles to gallon
8. Turn-OFF stuff that you don't use
9. Service your car more often and check your tyre pressure

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse


And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you


And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you


Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face

And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face

And I...


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

SPRING

A new day begins,
As the sun rises,
Peeking through the clouds,
Brightening a forest nearby.

The mighty winds blow,
The vast fields reply,
As if bowing to a master,
Of great repute and stature.

The morning mist clears,
Revealing a sea of colours,
Of lilies and jasmine,
To the delight of children nearby.

The changing seasons,
Brings forth a change,
As flowers bloom and amaze,
Even the hardest of heart.

Resident Evil Extinction

Ok, not that I've watched the previous shows or anything. I think one of the most important lesson learned from here is, don't mess with nature as it is. Leave it as it is. Pristine and Pure

Ok for the uninitiated, (Spoilers ahead..) there is this Umbrella Corporation and the T-virus, Umbrella Corp created this virus but this virus couldn't be contained and so it spreaded from US to the whole world drying up everything and turning virtually every single tliving thing into zombies....

So then comes Alice, Umbrella's greatest and finest product. And the rest..GO WATCH THE SHOW.

In Extinction, ok...there were lots of zombies, fighting and gore. I'm cool with the fighting. I think the fighting scenes were awesome especially when Alice showed her skills and abilities. But I kind of think that the scare tactics used in this show is a bit cliche. It was kind of predictable especially when the music creates that scary effect. K, I wouldn't say remove it completely but do it differently.

Still there were some pretty interesting moments in the show. Don't quite like zombies anyway and the gore....maybe not my kind of thing either. But still, this show is ok. Prob a 6.5/10 or B-

HAIRSPRAY

When was the last time I've watched a musical, ok that was last year in KLPac and that was Broken Bridges which I think was not bad but the ensemble could have been better. But this..HAIRSPRAY is a must watch musical for all you fans of Musicals. It's also a recommendation from me to all the movie-goers. I really enjoyed watching it.

What caught me offguard was when James Marsden sang. Ok if you haven't already know this dude is Cyclops in the X-Men trilogy. And in my opinion, he was pretty insignificant in the whole trilogy. What a waste but anyway HE CAN REALLY SING. Ok Michelle Pffiiffer does know how to sing. I think most of the songs were good. And i think Nikki Blonsky really fit her character Tracy Turnblad. I think she was great in bringing out her character for a newcomer.





Thank goodness she really persevered to get her role. In fact, she didn't attend the real auditions and got picked for the part!


Hairspray stars John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Amanda Bynes, Queen Latifah, the familiar Zac Efron, Brittany Snow, Nikki Blonsky etc......

Ok JOHN TRAVOLTA was so hillarious throughout the show.

Back again..

I dunno how many times I've left this blog hanging as if it suddenly became suspended. See I can't even give a proper title. Every time this thing happens, I've to think of some title to explain what happen. Totally dead silence for about 1 month now since the last post. Ok I wouldn't go into the various reasons because there is a myriad of them, one of them is just absolute laziness. Or just blank. Dunno what to write. You know like how some authors just disappear for maybe years then suddenly there's a new book in town. Ok, no I'm not an author. I can't even see how I can become one. Hmm, me writing books?? More likely i would go bankrupt on the next day.

Ok, let's see it about 1 month. And honestly there were quite a lot of things. First, the most major event. Moving as I've mentioned b4. It was a super mega big project. I can't remember the last time, I've actually dumped and moved so much stuff and junk. And the amount of dust flying into the air. I must have some dust mites in my lungs after all the shifting. Then I lost my Internet. It was totally horrifying, ok maybe not so horrifying but I'm kind of thinking what if Internet suddenly disappeared form the whole world. How would all of us cope. Its true to some extent that we are now slaves to technology.....The BANE OF TECHNOLOGY

And of course, I FINALLY got my IPOD. And honestly getting it through other channels for a better buy gave me great anxiety and 2 days of sleepless nights. But the most important thing is that it WORKS! Thank goodness if not I would have cried.

Ok, and I've finally achieved something that I've never done before. Quite happy that i finally had the guts to do it. I just hope that whatever that is happening will continue for as long as it can. Ok then there was the other thing that happened. Anyway it isn't worth mentioning it here anyway. Still, now I had the experience, which was good...

Oh yes, back to series addiction as usual at this time of the year. I think this year would be the last year I'll be watching all my fav series comfortably, Heroes, House, Prison Break and Grey's Anatomy.

Ok I'm still pretty happy about something anyway. Not going to mention it here.:P
