Playlist Friday: O Town - All or nothing

Do you remember these four 5 hunky dudes?


Confession - I listen to a lot of boybands growing up. I want to blame it on Mtv and Channel V for all the late nights of top 100 US countdowns bla bla bla... I watch those religiously, especially when Adrian was on. :D Good times, now...they show useless things. I want songs....sometimes I think when I was growing up, we were much cooler (technology-less and awesome :P).

So anyway, I could only remember the guy named Ashley Angel (because he reminds me of that show Angel, remember that?) But I love most of their songs from their 2 albums. And yes, I have one of them. Don't judge. :P




I often wonder what if all these boybands survived the apocalypse of splitting up and breakups and never broke up, I am sure life will be filled with all the Nick Carters and Justin Timberlakes of the boybands. Haha...maybe we will become hippies...who knows. There are various covers of this song, one sung by the lovely Westlife (how can I miss this?!)



A punk version (I love songs from punk goes pop albums!)





A Japanese version :D they kept the melody but reworked the lyrics but of course I do not know what they mean (or the lyrics to it).



So I am sure you have your favorite boyband(s) you want to share?

Playlist Friday: Britney Spears - Womanizer

I love Britney, love her songs and videos but not so much her drama. I love her songs because some of her songs are awesome for dancing to and you know how much I love to dance (even if I am not the greatest :P). Womanizer was one of the songs that was always playing on the radio when CLK first visited me. It was like Britney haunted us every time we were in the car. It wasn't a big deal because it was so catchy.



Was kinda awkward when CLK tried singing it..haha. Honestly I love her sexy videos :D don't you? :D

Movie Date: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

I love this movie!



My normal movie date got married last November so I had to find someone else to go to the movies with me. We changed dates a couple time but finally got to watch the movie. I was skeptical because some people didn't like the movie and some loved it. I was assuming that people didn't like the movie because they have not watched LOTR but then again I might be wrong.

The movie didn't seem so long but it was 169 minutes that's almost 3 hours and it flew by fast. I didn't think I would get to see Frodo or Gollum but they were in it briefly. I think the movie is pretty awesome...and I thought they were gonna show how the ring was made but they didn't. It just revealed how Bilbo got the ring.

And Saruman...I can't stand to see him in it because you know, he turned evil in LOTR. It was just weird to see him being nice and all. XD I absolutely love the dwarfs! They reminds me of the 7 dwarfs from Snow White but their names are much more cooler, and it could turn into a tongue twister. I think their story was pretty awesome...and I was hoping to see Legolas in the first movie too. I am pretty sure he will turn up soon.




For the longest time I was stalking YouTube for the trailer for this movie and when it was out I couldn't stop watching. :D I remember watching LOTR with friends and queuing up at the movies for so long because the tickets were sold out. We had to resort to plan B. I don't know if others did what we did but it was effective and pretty funny. :P

I remember it was a school night and we wanted to watch the movie the second week it was out but it was all sold out, we went twice and was disappointed. The day we went there was this very long line outside the ticket counter and my friends didn't want to wait any longer so he called the counter to book tickets for the next show, from the line. Let's just say we got our tickets 5 minutes later and everyone in front of eyes gave us daggers eyes. LOL. Even though we did get the tickets in time for the movie to start it was a full house and we had to sit like in the 5th row and it wasn't the best seat in the house but at least we got to watch the movie. And when we got out we found out one of our classmate bought tickets the day before and he was alone, and had good seats!! Should've asked him to buy tickets for us. I will never forget that movie and how awesome it was and I shared it with awesome friends.

It was sad too since I only went to watch this movie with one friend, and there was only 4 of us watching the movie. I think it was out for almost a month and they had a show every 4 hours or so and there was 3 places that was showing it I suppose I can understand why there wasn't more people watching. But still I would've watch it a couple times, just wish CLK was here to watch it with me. I am definitely gonna wait for the second movie to come out...hopefully soon!! I can't wait that long!! Just like waiting for LOTR to come out. It was torture! :P

Honestly I can't say bad things about this movie, even though some people might think it's boring, I think it is awesome. I guess I must have missed a lot of stuff in the movie...so I might have to watch it again, maybe once or twice. Sorry for rambling but I can't help it! I don't really know what to say but you know...that it was awesome :P

I don't know if I spoiled anything about the movie but I am sure everyone have watched it :D What did you think of the movie? Have you watched the hobbit or lord of the ring?

Mojo Monday: Hiding

If you don't know who Mojo is...he is my sister's cat. :) He is about 9 months old and he loves to chase flies. Yes, Mojo and Forest (his sister) thinks they are frogs. The do catch them and sometimes eats them. Since Forest (yes I named her after watching Forest Gump) is anti social because I think she thinks she is beautiful, I will mostly share pictures of Mojo and Forest if I can get her to stay still.

I named my Persian cats family fluffytail because well they have fluffy tails and I have some local cats that lives with them which are called longlegs, because my Persians are short legged and stubby and these local cats have long, slender legs and tails.

This is what happens when Mojo sees or hear a longlegs:


He was hiding...but I can see half of him. He actually stayed that way for about 5 minutes. I don't know if he is too big to fit under there or he was just scared to move. :P

Playlist Friday: Mindy Gledhill - All about your heart

Happy Friday everyone!! Another Friday, another week goes by just as quick. This beautiful Friday I want to share a song that I just fell in love with the from the first time I heard it...I don't even remember when I first heard it but I think this song is suitable for this particular Friday.




I love the lyrics to this song, and her somewhat dreamy and raspy voice. To me this song is kinda romantic and sad at the same time. I would totally do this as a first date/dance song. :) It is kinda romantic don't you think?

Today also mark the 4th year anniversary of us. It has been 4 years and it seems just like yesterday. If you don't know CLK and I met online and we are currently in this really mind boggling and crazy LDR. I guess when you really feel comfortable with somebody and they are practically your bestfriend you are able to endure challenges and craziness for each other. Other times I and other people don't know how we manage to do it, I guess we just do. It makes times together special and I never try to take it for granted because those are hard fought times.

The last time we saw each other was new year (on skype) and the last time we said good bye, see you later was February 24th, 2011. I know our lives are not perfect, we don't always agree with each other, we don't always make each other happy, we are never there for hugs and kisses, and to keep each other company but I think this makes us stronger. And we are always crazy.



I hope we can keep this up and look forward to more good things.




Happy 4 year anniversary. To another 4(0) years :)

Playlist Friday: Hello - Lionel Richie

This year this Lionel Richie will be our theme song :) Every year it changes and last year it was Rod Steward's Have I told you lately. I love old love songs cause they are just amazing and Rod's voice is so sexy :P. Being in a LDR is hard so we gotta spice up our lives somehow right?




Although I do think this song is kinda sad but...I still love it. :) I have to say I am not a die hard Lionel fan and I might know one or two songs only haha. I am more of a Beatles fan. Are there other Lionel songs that you love that I might like that you would recommend? :)

Hope you guys have a great first weekend of the year. It's the firsts of everything this week.

P.S Have you seen the hobbit yet? I am torn between going and not going to watch it....

Funny cats

Happy new year! :D Since this is my first post (I missed January 1st!) I want to share with you some funny clip of cats - I read an article on how to make your pet famous haha. I used to have a cat that loves to sit by the sink and drink water from the faucet. Unfortunately she was catnapped (I believe because she always comes home) and I really miss her. I am sure somebody is keeping her captive somewhere!! But this video reminds me of her and I never took videos of her drinking from the sink. Guess this teach you never to take things for granted.




Hope this kinda made you smile or laugh a little :D How's the new year treating you?
