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.

Permanent hiatus or calling it quits, it doesn’t matter.  Life and family matters have gotten the best of me so I am permanently closing this down as of January 11, 2009. It was fun while it lasted. Maybe I’ll return, who knows.

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.

I’ve finally found a TV show that interests me: PUSHING DAISIES.
It’s not like anything I’ve seen before. It’s extremely unique compared to the other trash shows airing on prime time lately (*coughgossipgirlscough*).

What’s it about? You’d have to see it for yourself to understand. It’s like a fairytale. It’s a dramedy. And it’s spectacular.

It’s about a young boy that discovers that he has a unique ability to bring back the dead with a touch on his fingertip. One thing, he touches them again, they’ll fall asleep forever. There is a one minute grace period and if he doesn’t touch the dead person again, someone else in the proximity will take his/her place.  That’s what happened when the boy tries to revive his loving mother after a heart attack. The person who took her place in death was his childhood sweetheart’s father.

Now, I did not know this but the sweetheart’s name is Chuck. I looked up for the meaning and it says that Chuck means something similar to ‘Christgiver’ which fits nicely because…

19 years, 14 months, 36 hours, 14 minutes and 32 seconds, the boy becomes a piemaker, sharing his mother’s love of baking pies. He later learns that his childhood sweetheart is murdered aboard a cruise ship on a mission to deliver a suitcase containing two ceramic monkers. Ned, the piemaker is off to go see the situation. An intense urge came up and he revived her from her coffin. She’s alive alright… but unfortunately for Ned, even if he has a longing to hug her, he can’t.

But you know, this show makes kissing through cellophane wrap so romantic! And it’s stunning visuals with vibrant colours!

And wow, I love Emerson. His looks totally deceives you. Who would have known that the big macho detective who’s always looking out for any opportunity to get money has a soft side for knitting and pop-up books? I love his snarky remarks too!

Episode 8
Emerson: Your book was a bomb.
Napoleon: Who are you to criticise my life’s work?!
Emerson: Your book was a bomb. It exploded.

Episode 2
Emerson: Are you in love with her? ‘Cause it’s that level of stupid.

Episode 3
Chuck: Isn’t that what a P.I. (private investigator) supposed to do? Investigate? Isn’t that the fun part?
Emerson: The fun part is counting my money in the bubble bath.

Episode X (Don’t remember when)
Emerson: I love you, shovel.

He’s such an oddball!

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.

My my my. This video I’m about to mention is causing a ruckus over the Indian news headquarters.
Can someone sense the irony here?

Mezba over at his blog, perfectly describes what’s going on here. Frankly I would describe it myself but I’m too lazy.

“Somewhat disturbing, somewhat funny, and politically very incorrect.

Dadagiri is a new reality Indian TV show on a youth channel called Bindass. One of the segments of the show feature contestants withstanding verbal abuse by a female anchor dressed as some dominatrix. In this episode, it seems someone forgot to give the guy contestants the script – they were unmoved by her tirade.

What then followed, the girl lost her temper.

And slapped the guy.

And the guy … well, you’d better watch the video.

I find it pretty surprising that such television shows now air in the same land where Richard Gere cannot kiss Shilpa Shetty.

Of course the TV network then did not air the scene but completely left it out of the final cut that made it to the air.

And then conveniently released it on Youtube.

Sneaky, these Indians. “

Wasn’t last week episode (Episode 26) just brilliantly amazing?!

Hyunjoong’s gift to Hwangbo was none like other with his 995 paper cranes (done all by hand!) and his love confession for Hwang Bo! Just to reinterate what one of the MCs shouted, “IT’S THE END OF ALEEXXX['s romantic era]!!!” My eyes are brimming with happy, my sides are hurting from so much laughter, I perk up at slight mention of WGM on a bad day and I feel so much better instantaneously. This show is just too much goodness.

Yes, this has got to be the best moment so far in WGM.
I can’t wait to see what episode 27 has in store for us anxious fans.
Honestly, it’s not a drama but it feels like one. Heck, it’s better than what’s been airing recently in Korean dramas. So what are you doing? I DEMAND THAT YOU WATCH IT.

And just for cakes, I figured I might share this. I decided to upload the song that Hyunjoong sings for Hwangbo as a birthday gift. It was featured in the movie Once.

[MP3] “Falling Slowly” by Glen Hasard and Marketa Irgolva.

Gah! Episode 27 Raw is out. Thanks CJWtown.

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

The story behind this song is that famous A. R. Rahman (best known for composing modern bollywood hits since ages!) was on his Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca when he came across a man across the river repeatedly singing, “Maiyya, Maiyya” (meaning water in arabic). He was so taken at how it sounds like Hindi and ta daa! This masterpiece came out! Of course, the vocal artist had to go through some training since she never spoke Hindi but it fits so well! Okay, minus the crappy dance by so-called sex symbol Maalika Sherawat. Still, do take a look!

It might seem strange to you that I’m also posting a kpop video. It’s not my area of interest and I’m too old to be fangirling about things especially for boybands. The last time I fangirled boybands was in second grade with the BSBs. That’s long ago. But what caught my curiosity is that it’s a really really stunning music video! I searched hours and hours and found out that it’s directed by Cha Eun Taek and choreographed by Kenny Worwald. BUT OMG, WHAT A PRETTY VIDEO. I LOVE THE FLOATING GIRL. She mesmerizes me. I don’t get the asymetrical hairstyles, they look like they have rags on their heads and I don’t need to see their pseudo-boobage. Whatever, sex appeal to those crazy DBSK fangirls = chachinggg for the corporation. That’s not my business.  Cha Eun Taek is a genius.

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.

RUN WOMAN RUN! FEND FOR YOUR DEAR LIFE. DON’T LET THAT MAN IMPREGNATE YOU.
You know how hollywood portrays child birthing to be a rosy and spiritual experience for any woman in their lifetime, right?

Think again.

On other note, I haven’t disappeared. I’m just laying low for a while. Not that anyone cares whether I update this site or not seeing as most people who find this blog are either SS501/JGS fangirls. Comments would be nice, you know.

The music video is downright weird but heck, it’s a really catchy song!
