I’ve been bored lately watching etalk and guess what shows up? This advert for Paco Rabbane’s perfume, 1 Million. It’s stunning to say the least. Normally, I don’t get entranced by perfume ads but the guy is too smoking hot to not notice!
ETA: Searched him up and turns out he’s Mat Gordon and he’s Canadian!! :D Woot!
It’s hard to see some good eyecandy from men especially from where I live. THIS JUST MADE MY DAY.
Little Britain is Love! December 5, 2008

Yet here I am, digging Little Britain up into bits. I love BBC.
Awesome show might I add. It’s so witty and it’ll make you laugh till your sides hurt. Yes, it’s the same show that Johnny Depp was raving about to the media. He was rooting for the US version though.
So what’s it about?
Little Britain is a comedy sketch show featuring the duo, Matt Lucas and David Williams with an ‘attempt’ to explain British culture to foreigners. Really, it’s all that is to the viewers but it’s unique through its memorable characters. There’s Majorie Dawes the Fat Fighter woman who’s clearly obese herself, Emily Howard, the woMAN who desperate to be thought of as a lady, Daffyd – the self proclaimed gay essence/existence in town, Vicky Pollard (My favorite!) the white common deliquent, Sebastian and Micheal – Micheal is the spoof of Tony Blair (who is the prime minister by the way) whereas Sebastian (another favorite!) is his gay aide and he clearly wants to ‘get it on’ with him if you know what I mean. There’s certainly more but I’ve only watched the first few of the episodes.
Here’s the first episode available for you to enjoy :D
Tell me what you think of it. I’m curious to hear your thoughts! :)
P.S. If you haven’t heard, Pushing Daisies has been canceled. Beloved show of mine, may you rest in peace. Ned’s touch of life didn’t do much to resuscitate you.
We Got Married News – JoongBo Leave Confirmed. I think I died inside a little. November 18, 2008

NOOOOOO!
First it was Andy and Solbi. Then Alex and Sinae.
It’s…. heartpainstakingly confirmed. No more Lettuce couple fun.
The JoongBo couple are leaving. All because of Hyunjoong’s involvement in Boys Over Flowers. I’m happy for his involvement but selfish lil
‘ me wish he didn’t so he could’ve stayed with Hwangbo and continue their awkward ways on WGM.

Gah, I know this was going to happen sooner or later. It’s.. just not fun without the original couples anymore. I’m too attached to them. Sure, Crown J and Seo InYoung are there. I love them bickering and fighting but it’s depressing because we can’t see their interactions with each other anymore. So Dambi and Marco bores the hell out of me, I skip their parts. The Hwanhee/Hwayobi couple looks promising. Speaking of the couple, did you see the episode last night on their honeymoon?
WHAT A VOICE, MIND YOU. I TOTALLY DID NOT EXPECT THAT “VOICE” TO COMING FROM HWAYOBI.
In case you missed last night,
Holy smokes! And this is hwayobi?!? My first impression of her from the previous episodes were that she was a complete klutz and ditzy. She’s completely womanly when she sings. But her previous interviews from years before show a controlled, complacent side of her. I guess it must be because she is completely gaga over bad boy Hwanhee. He ain’t bad looking.

Right, I should mention that all the MP3s I post are meant for sampling purposes. I’m only a poor student sharing her opinion on things so don’t sue me. You know the rules, delete after 24 hours or what ever works in your country.
Maryam Tollar/A.R. Rahman – Maiyya Maiyya
Well, whaddya know. Is asian pop music a haven of plagiariasm or what? Turns out that German popstar Sarah Conner’s “Under My Skin” has the exact same rhythm… Whatever, the music video kicks butt imo.

Okay, okay. I’m sure most of you already seen this video but ever wonder who sang the song? I thought it was vaguely familiar and guess I wasn’t wrong… I thought the song is sung in Bangla and turns out it is! The lyrics are from a poem called “Stream of Life” by the Bengali Shakespeare Rabindranth Tagore, a Nobel prize winner and a literary influence for the Bangladesh Liberation War in the 1970’s for you history junkies out there. The voice behind it is a seventeen year old Palbasha Siddique, an American Bangladeshi native in Minneapolis.
Praan (“Life”) – Garry Schyman
Bangla Romanized lyrics
Bhulbona ar shohojete
Shei praan e mon uthbe mete
Mrittu majhe dhaka ache
je ontohin praan
Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami
(Repeat 3X)
Shei jhor jeno shoi anonde
Chittobinar taare
Shotto-shundu dosh digonto
Nachao je jhonkare!
Bojre tomar baje bashi
She ki shohoj gaan
Shei shurete jagbo ami
(Repeat 3X)
English Translation
Stream of Life
by Rabindranath Tagore
The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.

N’uff said. He’s a genius, fabulous, brilliant and the winner of Project Runway Season Four. You can’t help but fall for him. And I bet you’ll be including ‘fierce’ in your everyday vocabulary once you see this video.

Remember what I said when I was supposed to be on hiatus until August 10th?
Erase that. Stealing wi-fi from your neighbor can be so handy at times. Muahahaha. Clearly, I have commitment issues.
En lieu with The Dark Knight Bonganza, I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off from this video.
Plagiarism: You Copycat! July 14, 2008

On an irrelevant comment, I changed my layout for the timebeing. Bear with this change while I find one that suits.
I bet most of you academics were warned bout how copying and pasting research materials and claiming the work as your own lands you in hot scalding waters. What I’m surprised about is that nothing is done when other artists in a different country could profit at the expense of others. I’m pointing at you, Mr. Pritam. Don’t tell me it’s not a coincidence. I would have never found out if I didn’t pick up the latest copy of Race at my local Hindi rental shop and watched Delightful Girl Choon Hyang beforehand. Music can overcome geographical bourdaries, sure, but don’t blatantly steal it without giving credit.
Specimen One – Sarangaheyo from DGCH OST
Specimen Two – Pehli Nazar Mai from Race
Of course, I realize that the music industry is relentless towards its artists (Look at Hyori’s case with Get Ya and Britney Spear’s Do Somethin’). It looks like Pritam plagiarized more than one song. I’m already questioning his music credentials. But to go this low for fame? That’s despicable. Does he even know how many months a genuine artist spend in their studio to compose a three to four minute song?
What are your thoughts on this?
“Baby and Me” Movie Trailer June 30, 2008

Finally! Something that caught my eye recently featuring Jang Geun Seuk as the main lead who stumbles upon a baby and chaos starts to ensue for the poor nineteen year old. Yeah, it’s a romantic comedy. :) From what I learned, the movie was supposed to be released in July but it’s delayed till August. I’m really looking forward to this to lift my mood since lately, this season’s dramas weren’t exactly spectacular or of any interest.
More details can be found at Soompi Forums.
P.S. ISN’T THAT THE MOST CUTEST BABY YOU’VE EVER SEEN?
Amanda Jenssen – Do You Love Me?
I’ve read somewhere that this winner runner up on the Swedish version of ‘American Idol’ divided the audience’s and judges’ opinion in half: either she screeched like a cat or she sang with utter brillance. Frankly, I’m mesmerized with this jazzy pop ensemble. Her voice is a sultry mix of Natasha Bedingfield and Amy Winehouse - It’s too darn good to pass up.
