today's biggest news is probably michael jackson's passings. i think in my life, ive been constantly surrounded by his works, his being and his life. my mum is a great fan of his, and often i've woken up to his songs. numerous scandals and gossips have made michael jackson one of the most prominent beings in my time. its really surprising to hear about his death: his name is legend.
amazing singer, stunning dancer. many of our current popsensations' inspirations come from him. he was the start of a lot of different moves, and they have evolved into something we see now.
really surprising..

In the Eyes of the Beast
In some time in our lives, we've all said things like "this person is blablabla.. that person is blablabla." i know ive said it more than my fair share, most of the time to unwilling and unsuspecting people. Knowing fully well that someone doesnt deserve it, but still saying it anyway. Sometimes its a matter of feeling superior, others its just to curb your own inferiority.
But recently i've realised, that although im saying all these about other people, i'm not looking at myself carefully. i've spent so much time making up a life, living in an illusion, that at some point in time i forgot who i really was. looking into that mirror in my life, i guess i was the worst of all. yeah, some people in my life deserved what i said. some classmates 100% deserved it. but who am i, an enemy, to press judgement on them? they've done things to me i will never forgive, but my hatred has in turn made it even harder to look past that wall.
i guess this is one of the many things ive realised about me.

on to happier things. phy should be coming back soon. cant wait. talking to xiu on msn now. feels like forever since i last spoke to her. she sounds depressed about work. ok maybe not depressed, more like... upset about certain parts of her job. hmm..

i dont understand why my mum tends to make things bigger than they really are.
i accidentally burnt a pot. how was i to know how much that pot cost? i was trying to steam something and i couldnt find the steamer (being because its in the storeroom, and in my 20years of living its never been put there).
she comes home pissed, screaming and banging stuff around, just because of her pot. it got so bad that my dad screamed at her. and she got pissed again. why are things like this always my fault?
ok i admit the pot burning was my fault that is undeniable. but in my self-defence i havent eaten anything for the whole day, i was hungry. so i tried to steam something rather than cook it myself. i did soak the steamed pot thinking the black thing was just soot.
but no she had to get so pissed the family's in chaos again. i was forced to go down to get her a bottle of vinegar (and in the process some alcohol to calm myself down).
what i really dont get is this: how can a pot be worth uprooting the whole family? i understand she's upset: i think to myself that if someone ruined something that belongs to me i'd be upset too. but to the extent of banging things around, of making the whole family upset and pissed over just a pot. its not like i meant to do it intentionally.
i just dont get why she has to be like that.

more movie reviews!
Monster Vs Aliens (not the 3D version)
cute show, quite entertaining, but minimal plot. funny show, a few unexpected jokes, great show for kids. typical "finding your true self" plot. great effects and graphics though. i think i'd rate it an approximate 4/10 based on plot, 7/10 based on entertainment.
Angels and Demons
ok let me first point out i watched this at vivo. i reached vivo at a good 4pm! but had only gotten tickets for a.. 12midnight show! thats how hot it was.
good acting, they stuck to the book quite a bit. except for the end, which was kind of a shame cos they missed out the greatest coverup/plot twist. but still it flowed relatively well, and its quite a good take based on the book. the director obviously must have been a fan or he couldnt possibly have made the movie so realistic. a must watch if you read the book, just to see the trail of the illuminati yourself is engrossing enough.
Night at the Museum 2
Sequel to Night at the Museum 1, this is a less hilarious movie compared. However, it makes up for it by having a more interesting plot. Really tickles your funny bone, but its kinda repetitive after a while. Some parts of the movie remind you vaguely of certain youtube videos, (especially anyone who's seen Star Wars: The Death Star remake). I rate it a 5/10
Star Trek
SURPRISINGLY GOOD MOVIE! i am not a fan of star trek, nor do i read it. but after watching it, i kind of started liking the series. am intrigued into reading the book too. animation was relatively accurate, plot was easy to understand. Really funny show too! strange accents and little jokes between the lines make it so much easier to understand and follow. Not like those harry potter movies you have to read the book to understand.
Wolverine
Finally i understand whats going on in X-men. To be honest i gave up on the series after the phoenix thing. It was starting to go more towards "movies that are continued just because the title itself will make it a box office hit" that i got sick of it. But contrary to the series, the movie itself wasnt too bad. Had more depth and feel to it then the rest of the movie. Gave me an idea too, at least what was happening in the past. Dont know if it follows the comic though...
I still wanna watch the last blood vampire thing... sounds interesting but im not sure if its my kind of show. the hand scene in the shinjuku incident grossed me out a lot until now i still have nightmares about it. sighhh.
Oh and btw, go see the exhibition in vivocity if you have time. national geographic. really interesting. just dont touch anything cos its dam expensive.
