Black Swan

"A psychological thriller set in the world of New York City ballet, BLACK SWAN stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis). A Fox Searchlight Pictures release by visionary director Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler), BLACK SWAN takes a thrilling and at times terrifying journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous swan queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect."

I've seen people talked about this movie on Tumblr when the trailer was released, August 2010. Yet I still haven't seen it. Natalie Portman is actually my number 1 favorite actress, so I kind of feel like a failure now lol. I only watched the first part of the movie, I promise I'll watch this in the theater.

noir & blanc

pointless post, but I just love black & white so much.

those are my favorite things, by the way.

I like wolves, hidden tattoos, black mustangs, boys with great style (lol I just love the photo), and loose fitting blouses.

Kimonos

Look what I found from chillin' on Twitter. I saw Raspberry Field's vocalist Alice Soy tweeted about this indie Japanese band named Kimonos.

"Kimonos was formed in 2010 by Leo Imai and Shutoku Mukai from Zazen Boys.

Their music is a blend of vintage synths, post-punk riffs, heavy beats, and folk lyricism.
Both cold and passionate, both stoical and decadent, both futuristic and nostalgic, their debut album is a fitting soundtrack to the manic intensity of Tokyo City.
Drummer Greg Saunier from Deerhoof and bassist Ichiro Yoshida from Zazen Boys also make ripping guest appearances on the record."

Here is one of Kimonos music videos, Soundtrack To Murder.

It's been a while, yeah?

Wow. The last time I wrote something on this blog was two years ago.. So here I am, gonna update this ol' blog o' mine again now. Let's keep up with my current life first, shall we?

• I am now a MAJOR fan of Korean music (and Korean dramas.. and Korean guys too, not gonna lie). Many of my friends asked why the heck a girl who loves vampires, gothic stuffs, Metallica, etc can turn into a Kpop fangirl. Well, because the Korean music industry is very interesting to me. Everything about them is just so.. entertaining. Asia got so many talented people, I didn't notice that before.
• I am now a fangirl. A TVXQ fangirl, to be exact. People should just deal with it. I often spazz on my Twitter about TVXQ, because they're awesome like that.
• I am now in love with a guy named Kim Jaejoong. This is related to the previous point.
• I am now on my 2nd year, almost finished the 3rd semester of college. I'm taking a major of Marketing.
• What else.. I now have a new laptop and a Blackberry? Lol..
• Seriously, I don't think my life got a lot of changes these past two years. Because I am THAT boring :)
• Oh, I got a new Tumblr.. Here. Filled with cute Asian stuffs and TVXQ. (duh~)

That's all for now. Gonna update this blog with the things I like, and I hope you can enjoy my blog :)

Cheerio!

The Howling

the mighty nocturnal creature howled at the moon. as if the the entire universe would cry and sing along with his ode. then he stopped for a second, just so he could hear the echo. it was definitely something else. he heard a graceful, perfect symphony. unexpectedly, she came down to earth, tried to reach his head. the moonbeam shone so bright as she stepped her feet on the ground.
"stop howling," she said. "you're breaking my heart."
he saw one drop of her crystal tear, streamed down her face.
he howled for the last time, then ran as fast as he could through the dark of the night. he left her on the hill. he did not even look back at her.
everytime he stares at the moon, all he can think of is her.
artemis. he howled her name every night. he howled artemis.
he howled her name, but it only made her cry. the most devastating irony ever existed.
the mighty nocturnal creature then realized, he could never make her happy.

This Week's Highlight

It's been awhile, I know. I just finished the midterm exam last week and these past few days have been kinda hectic. So here is this week's highlight.

Let the Right One In. A Swedish vampire-theme horror movie directed by Tomas Alfredson, adapted from the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist. The vampire doesn't sparkle, so it must be good :p If you have a weak stomach, this movie is definitely not suitable for you, since it's gory. The one thing that I like about this movie is the originality; brutal yet poetic in some way. I've never felt this essence when I watch a Hollywood movie. Just saying. Watch the trailer.

Hollywood decided to make the American version of this movie, Let Me In. I haven't seen the movie, because I don't feel like watching it. Personally, I prefer indie movies over the Hollywood movies. Judgemental much? I'm afraid so :p
