Manolo Must-have

Saw this stunning Manolo Blahniks on a designer site that makes me want to wish I had $400 and a ticket to New York to buy this beauty.


Giacinto, 1992


And because of my foolish determination to fall in love this year, cheers to SUPERSTUDIO for the Falling in Love Machine (1968) that still makes me hang on that thread. Yes, I'll go hang myself now, IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!



Actually, I'm just fuckin' bored. i could drink myself to puke now except there's only one can of 10-month-old beer in the fridge. Great. I may die of food poisoning. Anyway, I can't believe I played Sims2 on the eve of 2005. Now that I think of it, its believable. Heck.

It's not really suprising that I got The Picture of Dorian Gray on my results. I read it last summer and had been bored with the first 20 pages.

The picture of dorian gray
Oscar Wilde: The Portrait of Dorian Gray. You are a
horror novel from the world of dandies, rich
pretty boys, art and aesthetics, and
intellectual debates between ethical people and
decadent pleasure-seekers. You value beauty and
pleasure but realize their dangers, as well.


Which literature classic are you?

Rediscovery of the Week

© I heard a song last month and have been zealously looking for the title for the past 2 weeks. It sounded like a church song, but I later hypothesized that it sounds like Depeche Mode. Lucky I was able to download this song and my latest rediscovery is Depeche Mode's Condemnation.

Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side

Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I’ll show no repentance
I’ll suffer with pride

If for honesty
You want apologies
I don’t sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes

Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime

Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time

If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it’s no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes


© Anyway, here are just some of unsual but good covers I heard:

Tori Amos - Smells like teen spirit (Nirvana)
Tori Amos - Love Song (The Cure)
Evanescence - Heart-shaped box (Nirvana)
The Cure - Purple Haze (The Jimi Hendrix Experience)
The Starting Line - Piano Song
Black Tape For A Blue Girl - Space Oddity (David Bowie)
The Creatues - Venus in Furs (Velvet Underground)

© Got lots to do this week, this could very well be hell. I got new headphones! One down from that awfully long shopping list.

What I Know

To prove I am intrapersonal, I know that- Fresh flesh is my sleeping pill, I wield words as bounty hunters with their revolvers. I hear daylight and see guitar riffs. My head is a patchwork of photos. As my fingers itch of new inventions, my soul longs for the beauty in darkness and the darkness in beauty. I have 366 bunny holes in my Wonderland. Ignorance is my greatest foe. My mind is a clockwork of ideas with 13 hours to spare. Nietzche is someone I want to marry. My wings are passion, in different hues of pink. The human brain is the most fascinating organ to pick at when you're bored.

Ano ang meron sa panliligaw

Napansin ko lang ha. 4/4 of the men I fell madly infatuated with are either:

© torpe
© hindi nanliligaw
© hindi marunong manligaw

Huwaaaat?! I don't actually believe in panliligaw but the fact is, most girls W-A-N-T it before plunging into a relationship. Shempre, secretly I want it pero ayokong sirain ang "nihilist" image ko. Hahaha.

I just can't do what other girls do - ang manlandi, mangarir, mangape, at kung anu-ano pa. Just not my thing. Kaya siguro hanggang ngayon single pa rin ako. Wahahahah! Ewan.

A Stephen Chow Tribute

He gave us A Flirting Scholar, King of Comedy, God of Gamblers 1 and 2, God of Cookery, Shaolin Soccer, and recently Kung Fu Hustle. Stephen Chow, otherwise known as Sing Chi, literally kicks major ass! He can compete with Jackie Chan's choreographed kung fu moves and Jet Li's looks (Yes, I think Jet Li's quite a looker), thus dubbing him unofficially the "number one comedy-star in Asia" and newest Asian hero by Time Mag. This actor-comedienne-writer-producer is the spice behind Kung Fu Hustle's butt cracks, Stooge's slaps, Road-runner-paced characters, and bloody teeth.



Just to give you a preview of his achievements:

2002 - Best Actor Award (Annual Hong Kong Film Awards) for Shaolin Soccer
1999 - Jade Outstanding Achievement Award
1996 - Film Of Merit (Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards) for Forbidden City Cop
1995 - Best Actor (Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards) for A Chinese Odyssey
1995 - Film Of Merit (Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards) for A Chinese Odyssey
1992 - Best actor award (The Pacific Film Festival) for Justice My Foot
1988 - Best Supporting Actor (25th Taiwan film awards) for Final Justice

Let's play a little game!

A Song Lyric Game

Got this from Andrew. Nice game. The mechanics:

Step 1: Open up whatever MP3 program you use and add every song in your collection.
Step 2: Put it on random.
Step 3: Pick lines from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 4: Post and let everyone you know guess what songs the lines come from.
Step 5: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 6: DON'T RUN THEM THROUGH A SEARCH ENGINE.

I was able to do just 10 songs, its 4 AM. I need to catch up on some zzz's. Anyway, click away to start guessing.

Let's get it on!
