The Common Enemy

3 05 2008

The point that over comes our minds are largely due to the certain comfort that we are indulged in yet the darkest pain can be found here as well. What we love and what we expect made things worth challenging and reaching out to. Still the unknown fact of these uncertainties made it such a alluring indulgence that made the least of us look more than it ever was. Why has it been such a murky imagery on the desires but made to be dark ink as we hoped for more to come our way? Is it not fair?

.

 

.

 Has it been the utter thought that made us so vulnerable to out hopes and desires? yet why we dwell on this day in day out. Has it been the times that we simply close our eyes and hope for more to stay?

The days that come now are simply the times of numbness as it is a thought of warmth that gives a little life back to the otherwise cold rigid motion. To hope is to be living but the eventual doubt has more to succumb then time; the soul.  

.

 

.

 Giving in to the reality of the current is more than one can bargain. It has been a time where the judgment and the doubt overwhelms the ambient. The more people look into comfort and the perception they are suddenly comfortable in made it a vulnerable point to intersect. The beauty of these happenings are more on the ideal governance of their perceptions and how one like me indulge on their utter joy of being close to their own death trap. Having been in many situations in life, looking at this is nothing far off then extraordinary. Loving thee, loving me, hating thee joy-est me.

.

 

.

 Having made all the decisions on the happening around me, i sit back to allow investments to come to life is simply all that is left to do and hope for the best out of the light.

Ironman

.

 

.

 Based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Iron Man, released in various countries on April 30, 2008. Directed by Jon Favreau, Iron Man is about Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), a weapon Industrialist billionaire  who is captured by terrorists in Afghanistan. Ordered to build a missile for them, Stark uses his resources instead to build a powered exoskeleton to make his escape. Returning to America, Stark improves his armor and becomes the technologically advanced superhero Iron Man. With Gwyneth Paltrow playing as his personal assistant Pepper Potts, Terrence Howard plays jet pilot James Rhodes, and last but not least Jeff Bridges plays the villainous Obadiah Stane.

Development from 1990 at Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox, and New Line Cinema, before Marvel Studios reacquired the rights in 2006. They put the project in production as their first self-financed film. Favreau signed on as director, aiming for a realistic feel, and he chose to shoot the film primarily in California, rejecting the East Coast setting of the comics to differentiate the film from numerous superhero movies set in New York City-esque environments. During filming, what interesting is that the actors were free to create their own dialogue (an uncommon practice in other big budget films) because pre-production was focused on the story and action. Rubber and metal versions of the armors, created by Stan Winston’s company, were mixed with computer-generated imagery to create the title character.

.

 

 

.

 Marvel and Paramount Pictures, the distributor, planned a $50 million marketing campaign for the film, which is modeled on Paramount’s successful promotion of Transformers (2007); Hasbro and Sega will sell merchandise, and product placement deals were made with Audi, Burger King and 7-Eleven. Reviews have been positive, particularly praising Downey’s performance. The film’s stars have signed on for two sequels, the story of which Favreau has planned to depict Stark’s alcoholism, Rhodes becoming War Machine, and the introduction of the villainous Mandarin. Downey also cameos as Stark in the upcoming The Incredible Hulk

A movie to watch and be amazed by as you are brought off your seat by the unpredictable actions, performance of the actors and also the storyline.

The Other Boleyn Girl

.

 

.

 A 2008 film adaptation of the novel of the same title by British author Philippa Gregory and a remake of a BBC television film of the same name also based on Philippa Gregory’s novel. Starring Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johanssen and Eric Bana, it is a romanticized account of the life of the 16th-century aristocrat, Mary Boleyn, who was the sister of Anne Boleyn and one-time mistress of King Henry VIII of England. The film was directed by Justin Chadwick from a script by Peter Morgan (who also wrote a two-part television drama on Henry VIII in 2003). The film was produced and distributed in the United States by Columbia Pictures, and distributed overseas by Focus Features

A trully cut throat movie if you know what i mean.

The Kite Runner

 .

 

Original Cover of the novel

Based on the novel by an American author Khaled Hosseini. Published in 2003, and it is Hosseini’s first novel, and was adapted into a film of the same name in 2007 

.

 

.

 It tells of Amir, a boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who is haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan, the son of his father’s Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the Taliban regime. 

.

 In view of the in-sight-full back drop of the movie, and perhaps a sincere look into a time we all were blinded by the news. This is a story that tells more than just the situation of Afghanistan but a look into ones deepest conjure of humanity.  A look at how friendship plays a part that many are lacking. This is a wonderful experience seeing the society torn by years of conflict could serve more than any of us could possibly imagine. A scene that will make everyone think of one self in depth on any conduct as to all. This has made a great difference in all that we perceived.

 

Best Friends that know no boundary. . . . .

.

This movie is a direct interpretation from the novel and truthfully the message was strong enough to bring anyone down to consider ones life. Meaningful in many ways, making more of every little part we are left. This serves us to rekindle our life’s experience and reflect back on what have we achieve and honor others so deserving as the ones that truly are loved ones.

The spirit that was brought forth here knew no common enemy unlike the Taliban and the communist in the movie being the dark figures: it has no common rule, yet it sinks in to everyone who are close enough to reflect upon it. It’s a movie of reflection to say the least. 

.

 

Times to reflect on

.

Its a movie that counters all that we have expected. Being so honest and real to the point of religion. This is truly a movie that was at heart of everyone who went through the struggle, though the darkness of these scenes brings forth the beauty of friendship, honesty, family values and respect. It is without doubt by far an honest look and a reflection of honor to a dear friend. 

  

The Kite Runner; even the trailer captures you. . .

.

 

 

Finally there is a way to be good again . . . . . .

.

.

.

.

.

Its rather hard to understand people, yet all we can hope is simply hope. We believe in one, we trust in one, we hope so much in some but at times its seems relentless yet as a sense of doubt and redundancy filled us. Have it in a way to over come the thought that filled our minds, but the lightness of beauty seems more than in reach of any touch.

The reflection of the kite runner seems to touch more then just feelings: The truth.

Girl . . . . .

18 04 2008

They sound better these day, girls

from paramore to i dont know how many now

but i m in to INine and One Star Story today :)

Apart from the good looking girl lead singer they sound energetic and the appeal goes further then that, the sounds are amazingly true to the heart and was able to portray more than just good listening. This is more then Avril can give, this is pure talent and life stories told form lips of everyday angels.

INine

A pop rock band formed in 2004 with their hit song, Seven Days of Lonely, was released through iTunes in September 2007 and has since become popular. Their debut studio album, Heavy Weighs the King, will be released in 2008 soon i hope. The song was put on US iTunes for free from February 19-February 25, 2008.

On the April 5, 2008 issue of Billboard, second single “If This Room Could Move,” produced by Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, received a spotlight review by editor Chuck Taylor: “I Nine catapulted out of native South Carolina when Cameron Crowe invited the quartet to appear on the motion pic soundtrack for his “Elizabethtown.” At year-end 2007, it grazed the adult top 40 top 25 with “Seven Days of Lonely,” the debut from upcoming CD “Heavy Weights the King”—but that pep pill was a mere taste of the group’s prowess. Sunny follow-up “If This Room Could Move” is garnering hype because Chad Kroeger produced—all well and good—but bragging rights are earned on its own merits: an ambrosial vocal from Carmen Keigans, divine start-and-stop tempo, and instrumental elements that blend ‘90s jangle-rock with Brit pop. On record, they sound like a blissful union of Jewel and Sixpence None the Richer—if more Avril Lavigne live. With two exquisite singles in a row, I Nine is counting down to name-brand status. Utterly superlative

INine with change nothing

A good listen i must say :)

Yuppers . . . . .

14 04 2008

Having been away from school work and the occasional break-down of the so called great human body are some of the reasons to the lack of posts, many did happened and many still to come. The work that i have succumbed to are undoubtedly amazing, from the mind challenging details of homework and the immense idea that drives the creation of spaces that brings life to paper. Being happy for the work and being able to manage all in proper disciplines seem to bring light down my dark gloomy life these days. Onethat made the most is surely the heart that plays a tune that lingers longer then an mp3

Being in my shoes these days seem to be alot more then what people imagined it to be. All are looking on the dream world of life whereby everything seems to be perfect. The cover is nothing like the content, my world is more complicated than any other. I live a very comfortable life in my own terms but it is shrouded with withdrawal and secrets of the past that forces it self at every opportunity it can. Living a life where everyday is not a day to go wild but to put everything together seems hard to understand. Being able to have fun is something to uphold but only the heart knows what “fun” is. There are many days, many to to indulge in but yet one heart will always long for something that only one knows.

The perception of being self oriented is largely misleading but is general to all. Nothing of such an error, nothing is wrong until it is questioned and i seldom doubt my self. In cases such as these where people are not looking at the reality of individuality is the main problem, why of such obsecure notions? its just the diversity of mankind and is the nature of society. I have been about the same as them for almost my entire life, looking into the light of being mellow to my self would do me more good. Perception of others in my eyes have never been better: society revolves around involvement, rejection will occur once one refuse to be involve. I refuse to be uninvolved for the sake of enjoying the entertainment it brings forth.

There is also another light to certain cases that i truly indulge which is to be one with my mind. I do not see eye to eye with many because i believe there isn’t a proper reaction to my liking yet i am able to continue pleasing. I have many secrets many of which i believe are never a proper thought for all. I have many pasts and many likes of where i understand would be nothing of general. Do i live for them or for me? Have it come to a state that i do need to trade my soul for the arms of others? Highly unlikely. . . . . yet actions may request so, looking at my position giving in was probably the only choice: I refused.

Society can only go so far and whats worst is the mentality that is the norm amongst them. Reacting to them maybe one such example of torture. Being able to maintain composure and doing whats best for one self and more could prove the world. How have we became such? why weren’t the people hoped to understand were the soul of such complications?  understanding minds is not a gift but a practice and so we live to react thus many eventual are written as triumphs. Let thee be and thee shall be.

Love and hate . . .

loving comfort is my heart’s greatest desire yet many interpret it as overly. Hate is a strong word yet despise more!. I look down upon the understanding of me by others, could this be any shallower? i love a person and not wanting to hate the one who seemingly shy away for reasons as deep as the pebbles on the smooth streams of nature. How of such can effect me? The hate of such.  

Living my terms were as simple as the skies that cover our land and the sea that meets the skies, let me be. Still i shall be open and involve when approach in good light. No hate just plain self orientation.

Movies:

La Vie En Rose (literally “The Life in Pink”)

An English release title of La Môme, a 2007 French movie directed by Olivier Dahan about singer Édith Piaf. The English release title is the name of Piaf’s best-known song. The film’s original title means “the kid”, because Piaf was known as “La Môme Piaf” or “The Kid Sparrow.” The film won two Oscars, four BAFTAs, five Césars, three Czech Lions and Golden Globes. For her performance as Piaf, Marion Cotillard became the first actor or actress to ever win an Academy Award for Best Actress (”Oscar”) for a performance entirely in French

The film presents a fractured and largely non-linear series of key events from the life of Édith Piaf. Although scenes often jump back and forth across decades (evoked as flashbacks mostly from within Edith’s memories), parts of her childhood take up much of the first part, and the movie ends with her death, and the performance of what is perhaps her signature song, “Non, je ne regrette rien“.

A touching movie that envolves around the troubled life of Édith yet her passion for singing over rules everything. I’d recommend this movie for movie nights as it will surely touch your heart. (Do watch the Orphanage too- i almost weep)

 

 

Twilight

This is an adaptation of a young adult vampire novel written by author Stephenie Meyer, originally published in hardcover in 2005. It is the genesis of the Twilightsaga, and introduces seventeen-year-old Isabell “Bella” Swan who moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington and finds her life in danger when she falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. Movie is set to release on the same week as Harry Potter. . . . plus point of this movie over Harry: this movie is all about beautiful people. . . i mean it

Did i mention hot?

Glorious “vacation”

27 03 2008

In depth of the discussion on whether to fully enjoy the day out to the largest island on this planet “technically” as Australia is a continent and Greenland is connected to the Arctic by ice, Borneo is left as one island where 3 counties share it. looking at many experiences explained: i was truly stunned by the trip and was actually looking forward to this. Nevertheless i believe God wasn’t too kind to again as i wasn’t too brought off my imaginations. . . .

Seriously an experience . . . .  . . . . 

Arriving on the skimpiest flight i have ever took to this island  then was brought to the hotel/ lounge 121. . . . in a way reminding me to call 121 to check my voice messages. Even so with the IKEA sent of the room, made the feeling of it in a fake sale environment made a difference to my list of places been.

Made of mainly Chinese shop-lots the city of Kuching is a striking resemblance to Melacca in so many aspects, making the understanding of the culture and environment here easy as it is a close relation to home. Today is the day of getting use to the area as this is my first time here over to the east coast of Malaysia and judging from what i see here is not that far off from what is there on the peninsula, yet with the span of area on this land and the immense forest reserves, by the swirling snake river of the Rajang made this land truly clean and green something we all love to have in our daily life. It is a short day into the long 5 day adventure we are embarking to analyse a site for our design class.

Very very typical 

Looking forward to see more of this place and i hope and wish and cross my fingers that this place will hold better secrets for me to appreciate and remember this place one day when i would want to look back down memory lane.

ps: it is actually a boring place to be . . . . . . .




At Baste. . . .

20 03 2008

Wondering at the eternal shone that shine endlessly. . . . as thought it will never be put off, but that is just a miss-conception seemingly enough this may happen in time and that we may not be there to see it when it really does turn its socket off. That’s what our unfortunate life is all about. Never there for it to happen and never will have a chance to make a difference, never will have, never will be.

As this runs to your mind and registering an error in the system, do not be surprise to come to terms that we are unfortunately doomed. Anyhow we look at things and the effect that may occur this is surely a troubling thought to jolt your senses. Today is the 5th anniversary in the War in Iraq (as i would put it is actually the World War 3) it is after all the 3rd war that happened in modern day history where weapons, booms and all the mambo jumbo machines were use: its conclusive that it is a war that changed the world. Shockingly enough is by far one war that shouldn’t have happened. Its based on nothing solid and the effects are monumental. Judging on the world today. . . . ask your self: is it any better?

Yup its on fire . . . . . .

How have we come to such a state where greed over runs our judgement . . . can we continue to live like this? It is without doubt human nature to care for one self but when it comes to other lives and the world for that matter seem to be larger in-terms of consideration: Its is wrong anyway, if Iraq was left as it was, none of what is happening today will ever happen. Millions of lives saved, millions preserve and human right up-lifted. The world we see today is not what it is suppose to be. How hunger, protests, fights, riots, wars, killing and more. . . all based on religious stand?? why cant everyone let everyone be. . . we are all different, why cant we let each and other live the way they would want to?

Things can only change if the world works together for a stronger voice . . . . . . and as one
Another issue is global climate change. . . . this Sunday is World Water Day.

It is inevitable that the climate have change drastically, thanks to our global urge for money and development. The world today is a different place to live in and it will not improve for the better as time will not rewind itself. The damage is there and the only thing we can do to lighten the damage, by working together and curb the effects. Every little bit helps in global health . . . . .

Smoking awesome death man!!!!

The world will change a-lot sooner if we don’t act fast. We need to cut down on carbon emission and our habits. Recycling and awareness can go along way. . . Soon the world we see now and have come to know how it looks and feels will not be the same again . . . water levels will rise with it coast lines and islands too. Sandy beaches and swampy areas will be eliminated. We will be force to move inland, the lands will be smaller and smaller . . . . while our numbers grow larger and larger. There will be fights, torture and struggle. . . humans will turn into barbarians, because the environment forces humans to struggle onto what is left. . . the climate will prove too harsh to survive, many will die; cannibalism will occur as food source become limited because the climate change forces other life forms to extinct or move away. . . Life will not be easy because we did not do anything now. . .

This may not be so familiar as it is now . . . .

World Water Day. . . we must be aware that fresh water is very important in out daily lives and if we continue to contaminate our sources . . . bare in mind we are contaminating ourselves too. For our survival fresh water is very crucial, water is the core of life . . .

Save, Recycle and Protect our Waters before we have none to use . . .

Its important to know that we are not going to do any better at this state but we can lighten things by choosing the right person to lead us, fight the wrongs, recycle, re-use, save, be aware on what is happening in this world. . .

and Most importantly: tolerance in deception

If we love our home, do something about it.

keeping it together at baste, working to secure it together . . . :)




Persistence of passion

14 03 2008
family-death-tree-wallpaper.jpg
.
The un-earthly pleasure of dreaming may seem to be somewhat overly since considering the point of its origin as our instinct. The fact of such thoughts cloud our mind with ignorance and naive-ness, but we all know what is forbidden is all that is beautiful. Knowing the what is to love is more then the mind can imagine and only time can tell. Being able to connect in a manner to over come fear and resistance may seem to be a way for more. Fear- a strong word in vocabularies all over but can mean the heart beat, that moves only for one: which is the other. How can fear be loved? 
.
Its just a persistence that only you can decipher. . . . . .
.
I m but only a mortal in passion . . . . . 
.
Un-even, raw and wild is all that is passion. To whom this is dedicated to is nothing far off then just the dust that lingers around your eyes. But the length of portraying such a passion seems miles and years away. Its a journey of discovery and if only the other could see these naked eyes that gazed back at those that are so resistant.
.
The pleasure of me, is only for one . . . . .
.
at those frank eyes of fear . . . . . . 
.
Persistence is a journey for all that we all are fond, yet how invisible passion is seems to capture us in awed . . . . .
can the impossible be? and if only  . . . .
.
Gazing to a distance, to the other that lingers on the thought of persistence to what is more . . . . . . . . .

Freaking huge people!!!

13 03 2008
Gadget porn gossip!!!
The black image is only the concept for Sony Ericsson K900 Cybershot. It looks quite interesting, but many people could draw it in no time and then present it as a real thing. Still, a second image has appeared, confirming the first one, although looking highly more real.
Just assuming that this phone is real, it surely looks great and will surely win some fans from those who loved the iPhone when it first appeared. Sony Ericsson was probably not even trying to compete with Apple’s handset, but just to respond to the trend of removing all buttons and replacing them with a touchscreen.That’s a simple and sleek design that definitely looks good, but also takes away all personal accents of the devices, making them look almost the same. Soon enough, we will have many iPhone-looking devices out there, although carrying the brand name of various producers. Diversity will come only under the shape of specifications, but design also bears some amount of importance which i think will be the future of mobile devices all over.
.
.
The new Sony Ericsson K900 Cybershot looks smoking in black, with its huge display, but then again, so did LG Prada, the iPhone, the future to come KU990 Viewity. It’s no longer a big thing, although the “real” image also seems to enclose the high reflecting feature of LG Shine. All in all, a hybrid phone and will be a great phone if its real . . . . 7.2 Mp, full touchscreen and its a Sony Ericsson!! 
.
.
This is a rumoured product but i m hoping that it will be out!!!
:)
.
So going to be my dream phone if its real!!



The Xperia!!!!

12 03 2008

OMG!!!

Sony Ericsson has got a new baby and execs call it a “premium” convergence device and forewarn that it won’t be cheap, yet they promise the Xperia X1 mobile phone will be worth every cent you spend on it (hell it is!!).

The Xperia is smoking hot (this is gadget porn) That, of course, is an assertion that is yet to be verified as the device will only be available in North America in the second half of 2008.

However, the information and preview provided during the product’s launch at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Sunday created a buzz that resonated across the Web causing many geeks like me to drool all over . . . . .

One commentator hailed Xperia X1 as the new reference in terms of productivity and entertainment, and “the most exciting Windows Mobile phone since the Blackjack 2.”  Another observed that X1’s “luscious aluminum shell” and “amazingly sharp display” would “put Apple’s iPhone to shame.” i mean seriously!!

In the  Market prospect

Sony Ericsson itself is positioning Xperia X1 is a “game changing device” that that will take convergence to new levels. The company is avoiding use of the term “smart phone”, according Suzanne Cross, head product marketing manager for Sony Ericsson North America, well obviously this is something new!!

Pack Juice . . .

Company execs indicate that convergence is a blending entertainment and productivity features is at the very heart of Xperia X1. The features run the gamut, from entertainment and multimedia applications, to Web access, personal organizer-type capabilities, and a variety of communication options.

Sony Ericsson has gone the length with this device including a high-resolution touch screen quad-band GSM/EDGE, on board Wi-Fi for short-range networking, GPS for route finding, FM Radio and Bluetooth.

The X1’s Internet connectivity features are superior to any mobile phone Sony-Ericsson has ever produced to date.

This hottie offers HSUPA (High Speed Upload Packet Access) that transmits video and other media almost as quickly as it comes downstream: a feature is not available in some of the most advanced 3G phones.

And if your wondering what is powering all these features -a 520-MHz ARM11 processor running Windows Mobile 6 (ain’t that AWESOME!!).

Bottom notch, the XPERIA X1 is being positioned high, not just as a consumer or a productivity device, but one that offers you the best of both worlds: a “wicked” entertainment appliance, yet loaded with productivity features that the most fastidious mobile professional could use very effectively in an enterprise context

Xperia  . . . . . in ur ass iphone!!!

As it is said in the latter  . . . . . this ain’t going to be cheap :)
