Stalker Song

I'll Be Watching You - STing

its quite a freaky song actually.
(when you think about it in a freaky way =P)

Think about it,
if you have a possessive stalker jealous ex still after you,
this is the song for you.

The person cant stop thinking about you,
says that he'll keep a watch on you,
even after you've left,

even starts hallucinating about you.

Horton Hears a Who

 

i loved this show =)

the rhymes were witty and cute,
it wasn't all rhymes,
so that was good,
it wasn't overbearing.

i loved it because:

  • it challenges you to think about the universe
  • it gives great values
  • it challenges stereotypes

this quote:

There's a tiny person on that speck that needs my help!...
Well, maybe, they aren't small — maybe we're big....
No, Really. think about it — what if there were someone way out there, looking down on our world right now, and to them, we're the specks...

made me wonder:

  • how small are we compared to the lightyears of universe or universes out there?
  • could there be life or microorganisms much much much smaller and more miniscule than us?

the lesson learnt is:

a person's a person.
no matter how small.

Please, Daddy, No - Stuart Howarth

This book was so good that I read it in ONE sitting.

An exceptional story.
A poignant true story.

Will tug at your heart-strings,
harder than ever before.

A tragic story,
filled with the worst of its kind,
the horrid wrong-doings of mankind,
only to have a triumphant ending!

I dare you to pick up this book,
I dare you to read from cover to cover,
I dare you to finish this book.

Take note, an excerpt from the book said:

We need to educate children and teach them about inappropriate behavior in schools, as part of their sex education. It's no good telling children 'Don't talk to strangers', because most victims of abuse know the perpetrators well. Most abusers are within families or in position of trust, so the child doesn't recognize that what they are doing is wrong.

.very very true.

PS: thanks to Vanessa for lending it to me.

PSS: If ever Howarth reads this, I would say hurrah for you! Your strength & perseverance inspired me!

Nanny Dairies - the show

A great show!

my type of show.

funny, entertaining, heart-wrenching.

tells about a girl, just after graduation,
trying to find her footing in life,
when fate intervenes,
and brings her to be a nanny.

see how she copes with
the everyday chores,
the family problems,
and the cute child.

storyline is told in a very weird out of sorts way,
which is both refreshing and interesting.

final note:
the most important factor- spending quality time with your family.

The Ten

two words: Don't Bother.

a supposed comedy.
yet throughout the whole show,
I didn't even laugh once.

a spoof on the Ten Commandments,
a total utter failure,
great casts, with the likes of Jessica Alba et al.,
but even that couldn't salvage the show.

features ten short absurd stories,
that pokes fun at everything,
from Jesus, to gays, to ventriloquist puppets.

remember the two words: Don't Bother.

The Mist

The latest show I've watched was The Mist

Quite a great show.

The show revolves around the after-effect of a terrible storm.
People head onto the supermarket to stock up.
Its not long before a thick mist clouds over.
That's when the show truly begins.

A man runs in with a bloody nose,
screaming for them to close the door,
saying there was something in the mist that caught his friend.

The story soon unravels the mystery beings in the storm,
and how the need for survival speaks out loud and clear.

the poignant point of this story,
the part which struck me the most,
was the need for survival.

how you throw a bunch of panicked distressed people,
and all hell breaks loose,
you can see how easily people conform,
what lengths they are willing to go,
just to survive.

what saved the quite draggy storyline,
was the ending,
a complete and utter twist. =)

I would recommend this show.

Juno

This show is a quirky sort =)

The songs are funny,
in a weird way,
its melodies are very sing-song.

Anyway,
show tells of a teenage girl,
who finds out she's pregnant,
she decides to keep the baby,
BUT, only to give it to a couple who would want it.

It tells of how she copes with her pregnancy,
how she deals with the adopting couple,
how she learns to face her inner struggles,
how she learns of responsibility & selflessness.

Main attraction: A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E.

Juno's has a very nonchalant way about things,
her use of language  is very "old-school",
her "couldn't care less" view about things,
her grudging yet easy-going personality,
her exaggerated ways.

Bottom line:
This show had me laughing & crying.
This is definitely my type of show. =)

Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle

 

I So want this as my wedding song =)

I love this song, because it touches my heart.

It is sang from the father's point of view.
tells of his daughter,
how she's heaven sent,
how she grows up,
how they pray together,
her first pony ride,
her first attempt at baking,
her sweet sixteen-she's growing up,
from ribbons & curls to perfumes & make-ups,
how she looks more like her mom each passing day,
all the way to her wedding day.

she'd change her name,
he'd have to give her away,
when she asks him what's on his mind,
he says he can't help but think,
      that he's losing his baby girl.

the dad says that,
"if I had done wrong,
I must've done something right,
to deserve..."

a hug every morning.
her love every morning.
butterfly kisses at night.

It just tugs my heart strings, you know?
To have a dad say such things about you,
and to think he thinks so greatly about you.

Sigh..*wipes a tear away*

Butterfly kisses
-the flutter of one's eyelashes onto another person.
