Quelqu’un m’a dit

- Quelqu’un m’a dit ~ Carla Bruni

First heard this song in 500 Days of Summer. I’m still not over it.

But I Know What I Like

// April 24th, 2010 // No Comments » // Muzzak, Photo Blog, TV/Movies

Don’t know much about art
but I know what I like, I like you for a start
and I build you all the things that I can
just fudge all the parts that I don’t understand
and I know you’re gonna break it someday
but every way I see it, that’s ok
yeah I know you’re gonna break it someday
but every way I see it, that’s ok.

At my house, sitting down
across the street, running around
when I talk to your friends, I talk about you
I know it’s kinda stupid just to think that I do
we share a lot of jokes but that’s ok
but I wanna make you laugh in a serious way
we share a lot of jokes but that’s ok
but I wanna make you laugh in a serious way

I know 2 plus 2
but I always mess it up when I hang out with you
my penmanship is not what it seems
my hands are shaky and you know what that means and
it’s pretty obvious don’t you think
it takes a one step proof to make the link
it’s pretty obvious don’t you think
a one step proof could make the link.

Some days are disasters,
that you wish could just end
Other days are bastards,
just like a bad boyfriend

But it makes me feel much worse than this
to see your face masked with a frown
I’m not telling you to smile, but don’t be down.

Don’t be down, my friend
Don’t do your wrist any harm
You don’t belong on a funny farm

And I’d rather see you in a party dress
than in a hospital gown
I’m not telling you to smile
but don’t be down.

This season of Skins just didn’t make sense. At all.

Ugh.

of all the people to let me down

// February 7th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Muzzak, TV/Movies

Can you tell me, can you tell me what went wrong?
Guess I should have seen it coming all along
Gotta fight it, I gotta be strong
I gotta do something, can’t let it drag on and on …

Of all the people
Of all the people to let me down
Of all the people
Of all the people…why now?

* Finally, Skins Series 4 started Jan 28. First ep was Thomas. Frankly, I don’t give a shit — except that he cheated. Ugh.

* Of all the people, Naomi, why?!

* Episode 2 was Emily. Great acting, I’m totally sold on Kathryn Prescott and Lily Loveless. Totally loved the episode (except for the whole *cheating* thing again), but absolutely hated what happened. I also liked that scene in the football field with the cross-processed filter thing on again. Much <3. BTW, props for the awesome music again.

Kapag Sinabi Ko Sa Iyo

// December 3rd, 2009 // 3 Comments » // Project Tagalog, TV/Movies

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika’y minamahal
Sana’y maunawaan mo na ako’y isang mortal
At di ko kayang abutin ang mga bituin at buwan
O di kaya ay sisirin perlas ng karagatan

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika’y iniibig
Sana’y maunawaan mo na ako’y taga-daigdig
Kagaya ng karamihan, karaniwang karanasan
Daladala kahit saan, pang-araw-araw na pasan

Ako’y hindi romantiko, sa iyo’y di ko matitiyak
Na pag ako’y kapiling mo kailanma’y di ka iiyak
Ang magandang hinaharap sikapin nating maabot
Ngunit kung di pa maganap, sana’y huwag mong ikalungkot

Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika’y sinisinta
Sana’y yakapin mo akong bukas ang iyong mga mata
Ang kayamanan kong dala ay pandama’t kamalayan
Na natutunan sa iba na nabighani sa bayan

Halina’t ating pandayin isang malayang daigdig
Upang doon payabungin isang malayang pag-ibig
Kapag sinabi ko sa iyo na ika’y sinusuyo
Sana’y ibigin mo ako, kasama ang aking mundo

[ Gary Granada ~ Kapag Sinabi Ko Sa Iyo ]

After N-Days of Summer

// November 15th, 2009 // 2 Comments » // Photo Blog, TV/Movies

Autumn’s here! It’s really frakking here and I finally got the time and the energy and the urge to drag my lazy ass out of my very comfy room to go walk around the ‘hood and finally get that chance to stop and smell the flowers, err, in this case, see the crunchy yellow leaves.

I also finally managed to watch 500 Days of Summer and got to see what the fuss is all about. Props for the awesome awesome writing. It was soooo real and it hits you real deep. And it comes with an awesome OST too.

Favorite exchange of the movie:

Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew.
Tom: Knew what?
Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

Maybe It’s About Time?

You can fight the fire that’s in your head
Lay it down, the hour has come to end
Walk around without her just for a bit
Looking back upon the way things had been

Man, I’ve been wasting so much time
Walking the same street every night
Don’t you think maybe it’s about time?

You can light the fire that’s in your head
Put it off, tomorrow will come instead
We don’t watch the tower that tells us when
Pull the wicked flower out from its bed

Man’s been wasting so much time
Sending the children out to fight
Don’t you think maybe it’s about time?

Chanced upon the song above while watching Skins Series 3 -- a teen TV series about a group of Bristol kids that makes “Gossip Girl” a Parents Television Council gold star winner. Skins3 still offers the fluff (but not the icky kind), and the grit, and the unusual in-your-face feel to the episodes that I’ve liked since I watched Series 1. I particularly like the coloring (something looking vaguely like cross-processing and lomo~ing but I dunno) that they do on some of the episodes, particulary the Effy jumping into the lake scene and the Emily and Naomi biking into the woods one, as well.

L’auberge espagnole

// July 20th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // TV/Movies

“When you first arrive in a new city, nothing makes sense. Everythings unknown, virgin… After you’ve lived here, walked these streets, you’ll know them inside out. You’ll know these people. Once you’ve lived here, crossed this street 10, 20, 1000 times… it’ll belong to you because you’ve lived there. That was about to happen to me, but I didn’t know it yet.”

L’auberge espagnole (literally The Spanish Inn or The Spanish Apartment) is a 2002 French film directed and written by Cédric Klapisch. It is about Xavier, an Economics graduate student studying for a year in Barcelona, Spain as part of the Erasmus programme, where he encounters and learns from a group of students who hail from all over Western Europe. The story follows him as he decides to go to Barcelona and leave his girlfriend, Martine (Audrey Tautou), behind in Paris.

There are a lot of happenings in the story, not only those that are in direct connection to Xavier (like his story with the “not cool” French couple that he met on the flight), but also to the other occupants of the flat. Wendy, the English girl, probably had the best if not the most lengthy story other than Isabelle, the Belgian.

Some of the memorable lines that I managed to store inside my very volatile memory space are:

“I told you that because I knew it would hurt you. I know you loved me. But sometimes, we need to hit where it’s going to hurt.” - Martine, referring to what she said (“but you never loved me, because you’re not able to love anyone”) to Xavier when they broke up.

“All this complicated path, to arrive here today, without her,” - Xavier, after seeing Martine for the last time.

“I found myself in the streets of Paris where no Parisian go. I was a stranger among strangers, “ - Xavier, end sequence.
