Melancolía 2
Sunday, Jul 19, 2009 8:49PM / Standard Entry
These aren't new set of bittersweet songs; just have to post this playlist again, because my 'Melancolia' blog is already on the second page.

“Just as no matter how hard you try to keep it away...
Despair will attack you again and again.
In the same manner hope will return to you.
Again and again...”
“I started crying..
It was the first time in my life that I felt forgiven.
Like I was saved.
Like the frozen snow that's melted by spring,
the tears wouldn't stop.”

Dark Period Films
Sunday, Jul 19, 2009 8:37PM / Standard Entry
I'm a huge fan of dark period films. It makes you see a world that is too GLOOMY & LONESOME.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
“Do you share my Madness?”
This film actually tells us, that it’s not one’s physical appearance that makes him evil, but with how cruel people treat another that they make someone a monster.
"I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe.”
Mary Reilly
This is another beautiful dark period film. I had a crush on John Malkovich.
“Is Evil Stronger than Good”
I love how this film shows how one's sadness can bring out either the better or darker side of men.
The depressing atmosphere, the filthy market & brothel.
And even the seemingly lush mansion of Dr. Jekyll is filled with emptiness.
"I wanted the night you see.. And here it is.."
From Hell
Almost all of us are fans of Johnny Depp. I’ve watched almost all of his movies.
Brilliant acting from “The Libertine”.
Powerful scene don't you think?
But the film I loved most from Depp is “From Hell”. I can watch this over & over again.
“I shall tell you where we are. We’re in the darkest region of the human brain, a radiant abyss where men go to find themselves.”
My favorite scene would probably be the kiss.
Its a very dark film, you can barely hear anyone talking inside the movie house.
I was with my friend & sis, but I felt I was all alone in the movie house. It was just me & the film.
That kiss was a relief from all the tension we were feeling from the movie.
Interview with the vampireThis is the best vampire movie for me (although 'The Lost Boys" was really good - a remembrance from childhood).
Don’t you just wish to be in their shoes? Perfectly beautiful, mysterious, Immortal, & stands out without even trying. Yet despite all these, the truth of the matter is they are monsters & should not be adored.
“Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we.
For no creatures under God are as we are; none so like him as ourselves.”“I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret, that would damn or save my soul.”
“No one could resist me, not even you.”
I love the opening theme from "Interview with the Vampire", Elliot Goldenthal's 'Libera Me'; 'Libera Me, Domine, de morte aeterna'..
Here's the English translation:
“Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death
on that awful day
when the heavens and earth shall be shaken
and you shall come to judge the world by fire.
I am seized with fear and trembling
until the trial is at hand and the wrath to come:
when the heavens and earth shall be shaken.”
Another Favorite movie theme is from "Bram Stoker's Dracula", Annie Lennox's 'Love song for A Vampire". Although I terribly love the book, this movie I HATE so much!
“Oh loneliness, oh hopelessness
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.”
“Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of Hell is lain
With stars of brightest gold
They shine for you
They burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free”

Random 90's

CRUEL INTENTIONS
Have any of you considered this 90's teenage flick as one of your guilty pleasures?
I'm not a huge fan though, but it's a good film.
"Everybody loves me, and I intend to keep it that way."
"How can someone so charming be so manipulative?"
Don't you just love the ending of this movie? With that awesome song from one of the best bands, The Verve.
Poor Kathryn, I felt really really sorry for her at the end.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBCDvRS16_s
ALTERNATIVE 90's
This is my most favorite album from The Smashing Pumpkins.
No matter how blasphemous, & suicidal the lyrics were, ironically it kept most of those I know before sane.
Don't you just love how strange their music videos are? Thirty-Three, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Tonight Tonight, Zero, & Ava Adore.
My favorite Smashing Pumpkins song would have to be "Disarm" from their album Siamese Twins, great song & beautiful video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQtLoJlQD6EI like how Billy Corgan writes his songs; it doesn't have to be so elaborate for you to understand what it means:
"I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you..."
I even tried to learn the guitar. Not so I can be a Rockstar & perform crazily on stage; No, I just wanted to learn how to play their song ZERO.
Did I ever learn to play the guitar? After a few lessons I got sick of it. I regret that I didn't try to learn the violin or piano instead; guitar wasn't for me.
Although the 90's was also the era of the boybands & some irritating & excruciating songs such as Ace of Base's I saw the sign, Macarena & Aqua's Barbie girl
. Fortunately, there was a good side of music during that time; thanks to the likes of Smashing Pumpkins & these guys:
WEIRD EXPERIENCEOne evening back in the late 90's, Mom, Janina & I were at the grocery store when we encounter one weird stranger.
While I was busy getting the items I need, Janina suddenly told me that there's someone who has been following us.
So the guy was hiding behind the grocery aisle (not sure if I got that term right).
Then its getting really weird, because although he knew that we were aware of what he was doing, he still keeps following us. Hiding behind the aisle, watching us; just like this dude:
(Can't find anything close enough to picture that weirdo, so let's just settle for Mr. Grizzly Bear)We didn't tell our mom about this "stalker", we were busy thinking on how to get rid of him, should we ask why he's following us, but how?
Anyway, he was out of sight when we were already at the check out line (and so we thought); He suddenly popped out of nowhere & putting some of our grocery items at the cashier desk. Mom looking at him curiously while Janina & I was just staring at him, then he left & that was it.
We weren't freaked out about this stranger following us, because you can actually feel if someone is a psycho; this guy is harmless & doesn't seem to be a threat, he was just... WEIRD.
NOT IN MOURNING
I used to wear black in high school, way before it became a fad in school.
One day, my high school teacher asked me this question:
Teacher: "Miss ______, WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN BLACK?"
Me: "No reason."
Teacher: "You look as if you're mourning."
Me: "I'm NOT. And besides, I'm not in black right now, this is dark blue."
Teacher: "Yeah, but still looks black to me."
(Once, he even described me in two words, "Mysteriously Silent".)
I less often wear black when it became such a fad in school & other campuses. I don't want people to think that I'm one of them - Who wears black because they think they're so cool or thinks that "I'm the next Kurt Cobain." or "The world is dead to me" sort of mentality.
T.V. Shows & Pages from old Magazines
The other article is about some misconceptions on then-14-years-old Brad Renfro, such as: He doesn't speak to both of his folks, he only does R-Rated films, he was discover at a drug rehab.
Then some facts about him: He doesn't answer his fan mails, he dyes his hair, he doesn't do interviews etc..
The article on Jonathan Brandis is about his tv series "Sea Quest".
Will Friedle & his ex, Jennifer Love Hewitt (she's kinda cute before)
"Boy meets World" was funny, saw a few episodes. "Party of five", can't remember any of it.
I don't watch TV sitcom religiously. I often missed a lot of episodes or I just stopped watching them.
But I kinda like this one
ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?
And this one's my favorite
MY SO-CALLED LIFEThen I love this one, and forever will love this family-sitcom

Can you hear their cries?
Thursday, Jan 15, 2009 10:08PM / Standard Entry
"In my dream children sing a song of love for every boy and girl
The sky is blue and fields are green and laughter is the language of the world
Then I wake and all I see is a world full of people in need."
"Tell me why, does it have to be like this?
Is there something I have missed? cos I don't understand.
When so many need somebody we don't give a helping hand."
"Everyday I ask myself what will I have to do to be a man?
Do I have to stand and fight to prove to everybody who I am?
Is that what my life is for to waste in a world full of war?"
“Tell me why (why, do we never learn?)
(Why do we pass the blame?)
WHY DOES IT NEVER END?”
I’m the type of person who doesn’t cry easily, but seeing these photos of what is currently the situation in Gaza, no matter how I tried destructing myself, I can’t help but get emotional.
If just seeing this on the news & on the internet disheartens me, how much more are those who are actually witnessing these horrors!
What if I was one of them, or if the dead children were my own? What if this happen in our own country?
Steal away our lives, our loved ones & our homes! I just can’t fully imagine how much sufferings they are going through! It’s heart breaking! :'(
Let’s pray for the innocent victims, to those who died in this war & to those still fighting to survive.
And hope at least that this will be over soon…
I know, with this kind of situation, we can’t help but feel helpless.
What can we do to stop these kind or wars? I have no idea.
But I don’t want to ignore this & pretend that none of this is happening.
I want to say that I'm not blind & I care!

Sickly 花
Monday, Sep 1, 2008 9:26PM / Standard Entry
Been feeling sick for almost a week now.
Went to the doctor this afternoon, and he gave me some antibiotics & pain reliever.
Had a late lunch at a near resto & took the medicines immediately after.Problem is, I’m allergic to almost anything! Early this evening, I noticed I’m having a little allergic reaction, I don't know which of the medicines have caused it.
I think I’m going down with another colds & a fever. sigh…
