According To You - Orianthi

According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.
According to you
I'm difficult,
Hard to please,
Forever changing my mind.
I'm a mess in a dress,
Can't show up on time,
Even if it would save my life.
According to you. According to you.

Chorus:
But according to him
I'm beautiful,
Incredible,
He can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
Irresistible,
Everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
So baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
According to you.

According to you
I'm boring,
I'm moody,
You can't take me any place.
According to you
I suck at telling jokes cause I always give it away.
I'm the girl with the worst attention span;
You're the boy who puts up with it.
According to you. According to you.

Chorus

I need to feel appreciated,
Like I'm not hated. oh no
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad you're making me dizz-ay

According to me
You're stupid,
You're useless,
You can't do anything right.

Chorus

According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right

wish i could look right in somebody’s eyes

500 Days of Summer

the full length trailer

the first warning the movie itself said was:
-this is not a love story-

i say it is a love story,
but not your typical movie love story
it was a  love story of reality

what do we know about love?
love can give you wings to fly,
but it can also break them
love can make the day bright
it can also bring the storms in

so with love,
it runs two ways
what is it exactly?
an illusion created by people?
a feeling so intense, it intensifies all the other feelings?
a serendipity moment?
a fated destiny?
and how do we know if we’re in love?

for all that and more,
500 days of summer is worth your watch!
though odd, but it makes perfect sense!
especially with all the superb camera angles and music =)

all this while,
you’ve heard of him
the legend of the greatest lover ever lived
the casanova the womaniser
the one who was famed for having bedded countless women

but one who fulfills their desires
and if love will finally capture the reins of wild don juan

 

awesome awesome book!
the style of writing is just superb!
so personal,
as though you’re really reading his own memoirs
and the intricacy of the emotions and personalities
simply amazing..

this is a definite must read!
you won’t regret it…

Terminator Salvation

i had my doubts about this movie

these were my pre-conceptions about the show:

  • it was going to be just an action film without much storyline
  • a repetition of the terminator plot that would sound so old already
  • it would not live up to the great Terminator legacy

these are my closing views after the show:

  • AWESOME!!!
  • it totally lived up to the legacy and added more charm to it too
  • brought in the new technology without ruining much of its original technology
  • linked it back to the old shows by featuring Arnold =)
  • loved the concept of humanity existing within the advanced robots

a must watch for all terminator buffs!
and a jumping start for those who havent watched terminator legacy before =)

Kantoi – Zee Avi

the Malaysian girl who made the song ‘Bitter Heart’ famous
here’s another song of hers that's just so adorably cute!

she tells of a cheating partner
and how she finds out the hard way

why i love it is,
the way she sings of it so nonchalantly
something so close to her heart
and quite hurtful
yet she says it in a way that
just screams “right on! atta girl!”

by the way, her voice is absolutely enchanting!

thanks to kim for introducing this song to me!

The Climb – Miley Cyrus

for a girl who’s barely legal
she sure can sing great!

this song just makes you want to keep moving on
it gives you the renewal of hope
that no matter what happens
no matter how big the obstacle is
no matter how troubled you feel
no matter the sacrifices you make along the way
its going to keep coming
so just deal with it the best way you can
and keep going on!

that its not what happens at the end that matters
its the journey you take to get there that matters instead
!


Lyrics | Miley Cyrus lyrics - The Climb lyrics

Hannah Montana The Movie

i honestly havent watched much of the Hannah Montana series
but the one or two that i have watched were entertaining =)

so when i watched this debut movie
i watched it without expectations
and i give it a not bad =)

its one of those
lighthearted easy relaxing movies
that you can enjoy for that time being
but will soon forget

this tells of Miley Cyrus
being too caught up in the world of Hannah Montana
and is brought back down to earth in her hometown
learning about sacrifices and what truly matters most.

but all in all
Hannah Montana rocks!

Tipping the Velvet – Sarah Waters

once again,
a superb great brilliant plot from Sarah Waters!

this one has three parts,
as the same with the rest of her stories

this one tells of an oyster girl
and her journey of discovery
of herself, love and hardships

first part tells of
her story with the stage impersonator
a girl who acts like a guy on stage
how they whisk off to London
and soon stage shows together

the second part tells of
her seedy works
and the deal she made with her newfound “mistress”

the third part tells of
her working a a “maid”
for an old friend
and how she discovers so much more about her own life

i hope i didnt give out too much info
to spoil the twists and turns
but indeed
it is a story not to be missed

however, be warned
this story contains very vivid sexuality themes & scenes
but otherwise, superb plot
especially in terms of human relationships with one another

American Idol 9

Kris VS Adam

who did i support?
Kris! =)

Why i think Kris should have won:

  1. he has versatility (can suit any genre)
  2. he has an amazing voice! (gives me good goosebumps!)
  3. he looks absolutely adorable and cute!
  4. he was so humble and meek throughout the show

Why i think Adam should have won:

  1. he has great showmanship! (no doubt about it)
  2. he looks stunning!
  3. he has a great strong voice
  4. he was the whole artist package!

so, why i pick Kris over Adam?:

  1. even though Adam had great showmanship, i daresay Kris connected to the audience better, he was more down to earth and relatable, unlike Adam who felt more like a put-on show.
  2. even though Adam is a great singer, he got boring after awhile cause his style was more towards rock and screaming. Kris could take songs apart and strip them to its core emotions.
  3. Adam was quite cocky during several times in the show, but Kris was humble and accepting throughout the whole thing! =)

so yea, I love the fact that Kris won! =)

i think the greatest part
was that they were so supportive of each other
though it was a competition.

1234 – Plain White T’s

can a song
get any cuter or any sweeter
than this particular song?

its a pretty simple song
with the sweetest words
and its easygoing tune

melts my heart
and makes me go awwwh…

so remember,

There's only 1 thing 2 do
3 words 4 you I love you
There's only one way to say
Those three words and that's what I'll do, I love you
I love you..

Fireproof

I’d be upfront and say
that I’m not one for religion –based shows
i usually find myself bored or turned away
as sometimes the religious shows can be overbearing
but this show managed to capture my attention throughout
and i actually enjoyed the Christian message behind it

it tells of a married couple,
a fireman and his wife 
who fights so often
that it has led to talks of divorce
so,in efforts to save his marriage
he takes up his father’s 40-day “love dare
which requires him to go the extra mile for his wife
doing little sweet gestures everyday
while trying to maintain his composure
especially despite his wife’s ignorance of it all

along the way, he finds the true meaning of marriage
one that sustains all odds if lifted up to God

despite its Christian meaning
and despite it revolving around a married couple
this show is for all
Christian or not
married or not

as it reminds us that
its the littlest most insignificant things in life
that makes the biggest most significant changes

He’s Just Not That Into You

This show is SO meant for my current situation
every word spoken was a stab to my heart
cause it was SO true & i felt the same way!

this show is similar to Jane Austen Book Club movie
in terms of the way the story is told
tells of the lives and stories of different individuals
and how they are all connected in one way or another

there’s Gigi,
a girl misinterpreting every signal from guys
and how she meets a bartender, Alex
who gives her advice on how to interpret correctly,
whom she met after a date with his friend, Conor
who is hung up over his singer “girlfriend”, Anna
who’s poking fire to a married guy, Ben
whose wife, , is trying to make ends meet,
whose best friend, is trying to get married
but her boyfriend, (Ben’s friend) doesn't believe in marriage,
and of Mary, Anna’s friend who looks for love in cyberspace

yes, its quite a stereotypical show
as gays are effeminate and all about sex
and girls mull over how their dates went
and how guys are commitment-phobic

and yes, its got quite a predictable plot too

but the great thing about this show,
is not the end-product
but the journey
and how each individual deal with their own issues
and how they come out better than ever

bottom line:
i want to be an exception, and not just a rule.

My Best Friend's Girl

what starts off as a disgusting comedy
which can make you laugh and gag at the same time
slowly evolves into drama
which will tug at your heart
leaving you with tears

its basically about
this guy, tank who earns a living
by taking ex-girlfriends out
on the worst dates of their lives
an experience so horrible
they'd run back to their ex-boyfriends
(who hires Tank to do just that)
trouble ensues when his best friend hires him
the girl is no easy match for Tank's tricks

reviews were bad about the show
but i loved it
maybe cause i could relate to it
in more ways than one =P

bottom line is:
i want an a**hole like that
no matter how disgustingly crude he can get

The Ron Clark Story

i had to watch this movie
for my EduPsych class

the story was unbelievably inspiring!
takes hold of your heart
and makes you want to make a change

the story was very fast-paced
so much plot,within so little screen time
yet it didn't feel cramped
the flow was so good
that you didn't realize how time passed

tells of a teacher
who volunteers to teach a troubled class
and his out of the ordinary ways of teaching
a story guaranteed to tug your heart strings
make you laugh, cry and scream in frustration

its people like this
who inspire me to be a teacher

highly recommendable!! Grab a copy today!!

Dream Big! Take Risks!

The Jane Austen Book Club

Jane Austen wrote six novels in her lifetime:
Emma, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey,
Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Persuasion

six different individuals
six different stories
six different backgrounds
six different novels
wonderfully woven into one beautiful story:
The Jane Austen Book Club

its how these people relate to the novels
which seem to reflect their lives
and the troubles they're facing

a mother whose husband just left her
a daughter who's finding herself
a multiple times divorcee who wants to find love
a wife who fantasizes about her student
a friend who loves to pair things up
a guy who's never read Jane Austen

a thrilling tear that will grip your heart
one way or another
wonderful!

a definite recommendation!

RENT the Movie

a definite must rent! (intentional pun)

image

a musical
so unlike any I've watched before
the songs are fast and catchy
the characters are relatable
the storyline is beyond superb

tells of:
a budding filmmaker
a songwriter who's yet to write a song
a dancer who's also a junkie
a crossdresser who's having AIDS
and his newfound love
a liberal lesbian
and her girlfriend, a lawyer
and all of them facing financial difficulties
because of a friend who turned against them

this show never fails
to make me laugh in delight
and cry my heart out
all in all, a wonderful plot

seasons of love

Love Story - Taylor Swift

my latest craze song!

i love how the song develops
from childhood
to "daddy said stay away from juliet"
to adulthood

its the perfect love story!

my utmost favourite part is:

And I said
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and he pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

sigh...im melting already...
