Qualitifiable

Another random post as to mask my current procrastination to do my assignments. I had two. Lol. Well, I was contemplating to watch Lindsay's Lohan latest film involvement which had successfully made to the premiere. It's a shame that the Gotti was a no go. This so called 'movie' is more like a telemovie however, it is about the late Elizabeth Taylor's infamous relationship with Richard Burton. Her confidante', partner in crime, her Anthony as she was Cleopatra. A love story that fumes destruction yet, two souls that were never be apart during their lifetime. As much as I want to indulge in this incredible urban love story, I couldn't stop observing Lindsay. Urgh. I know it's bad have these subjective thoughts but, I can't help it. Her reputation was in my face all the time. It seems she has lost some of the golden touch she used to depict magnificiently. I don't know. I do give my salute for her efforts. She tried. I can see that talented self in her in the last few scenes of the film (which is regretful that she didn't applied it throughout the film) I guess she was trying. The reason why I didn't find satisfaction in watching this film was because I kept noticing the habitual pattern she used to do in EVERY movie she played in:

"Oh there she goes, sighing for the 30th time,"

"Teenage tone voice.. really?"

"There she goes again..making love.."

Furthermore, trying to amplify her sexual assets assuming to make it look more desirable to the audience hence better reviews. I don't know.. I just assume as for what I observed. I want to see experienced and dynamic in character. I do believe she learnt her part and do far better research than my ability but, I just can't stop seeing the character as Lindsay. It's like watching about her life rather than she relflecting Liz's persona. She got the look oh yes she does. No doubt on what makeup able to change you into. On another note, Lindsay did made a good personification of the age. Her wrinkles were visible despite whatever facial treatment she did on the face. I'm so sorry if I sound like I was appaled by her perfomance. Honestly, I was dissapointed. She was given a chance to shine and people were looking forward for her return. Too bad we had higher expectation. I just can't stop feel sorry for her but, I still hope for the best yet to come for her. Just atleast a good film to restore the faith of humanity. Lol. I know there is still a spark in there, Lindsay. 

To neutralized my avid dissapointment, I geared up my emotions on watching a random independent film from youtube. The main cast was Linda Oh from one of the doctor theme episode. I don't follow much on series but, I'm sure its good. Haha. So, this film visualized the chinese culture in the suburb of Canada. Focusing on a kid who was practising Taoism to help out with their financial issue as help her mom's love life which seems barren from any potential suitors with her mom's workaholic attitude. You know the feeling when you had hot spice curry burning your tongue and you sip a glass of milk to cool it down? Yea that's what I feel after watching these two films. I was like "Ahh.. that's more I like it! You have successfully made my tears fall off!" This emotion was in vain when I was watching Liz and Dick when I was expecting it to be heartbreaking. But, instead...this less favourited, simple with no significant people in it pierced my heart in the final scene. 
 
It just shows, you can flash off your expensive props and vvip people to produce a film but it wont hide your flaws. I saw fake money, greenscreen images and perhaps miserable casting in Dick and Liz which overshadows the cast for Richard Burton who I think played it incredibly suave. He was amazing! *Sigh* I know I would comment more on the undeniably mediocre standard I saw in that film where as I saw perfection in the film I randomly saw in Youtube. Just let that be the higlight of my days of procrastinating.
Now, I bid you adieu as I am going to continue to persuade myself to get my brain going.

Hershey!

Sobahul Khair December! I survived November :D *Do the chicken dance*
 
Apart from my ode to the depressing month, I saw it as a a month of reflection. I have learn to restrain myself from the infinite impulses and pretty much grab the opportunity to learn more about myself. Yes me me me haha. It's really crucial for me to stay grounded and learn from it. I'm just happy that I take the first step now its time to relax and continue with the journey...
 
 Journey to Machynlleth :D I went there with my ol' flatmates and Victoria just to try the Vegetarian restaraunt at the town. It's not bad. I love how it is so simillar to Aber but, less robust. It's a nice short trip and using the bus was something I need to use more often. We sat on top front at the upper deck and yes, it was the first hand to witnessing the incredible scenery. I couldn't ask for more despite of my new profound idea of restraining myself from shopping. This was merely a reward for being persistent on it. Haha.. yea right.
 
Well, it didn't end well though. We jumped on the bus to go back to Aber and sat at the upper deck but further behind. I started to feel drowsy and there are moments when I feel like I want to barf. Literally. I couldn't think straight and I decided to depart as soon as it reach around my neighbourhood. The fact that I was going to do my grocery shopping remains in vain. I just walkaway and rest my head as soon as I get on my bed. Leaving me eating whatever left in my cupboard; chicken soup with macaroni...for the past 3 days. Gosh haha..

Well, that was one of the highlights of November. That's why I'm so glad to get it over and done. As much as I want to be productive for the month. I have chosen to stay in bed at the very last day of November. Spending the time with watching chick flicks.. more precisely..Black humour. I kinda want to watch the movie for ages and I finally  did it! Believe me, it's really worth watching. This movie that I was talking about is called 'Act like a lady think like a man' was adapted from Steve Harvey book. I personally love the idea of having more of these romantic comedy genre from African American (I kinda feel awkward calling black now.. I don't want to be stamped racist haha) What's more.. the cast is super UBER hot! I'm referring to this mahagony god of mine, Michael Ealy. Does he looks familiar? Of course he do. He is in Beyonce's 'Halo' music video! Oh my.. I am so into him when I saw him in that mv. His smile and that blue eyes pierced my heart and burns it till it melts. 
 
Yes I'm having a fandom moment right now. Aside from Marcell, John Legend, Bernard Chandran, All Blacks Rugby Player and the fews I can't recall now, I would literally shriek like one of the kpop fans. Michael Ealy has a charming smile and sweet personality which can be depicted in any of his films. For a 39 year old guy, he still make me drool especially.. oh yes.. especially in that movie 'Think Like a Man'. I'm sorry if you might feel uncomfortable reading this but, I love the make out scene. I didn't notice the female cast. My eyes was focusing on him. That moves and beautiful, eloquent, suave (enough now haha) and tender kisses just made me breathless haha. I'm so sorry but, really.. I cannot resist his charm!Oh my..
I don't know why my day was about digging into my sweet tooth love on african american delicacy. Maybe it is related to that bizzare moment I had with this African guy whose taking law in the Uni. Maybe. I don't want to recall if possible as it's unpleasant. But, somehow it triggers my attention to some chocolate loving haha.
 
p/s: Please forgive me, I'm just trying to vent out this cheeky side of me. Toodles! <3>
