Can Humans live without friends?

Just stating a basic fact: I do have a close group of friends, so I'm not a total loner.

I've been wondering about that statement for quite some time. I feel that having to communicate constantly and meeting up often is tiring. I'm not a people's person; I might not be suitable for the industry I'm heading towards. Maybe I should hide somewhere where contact with humans are minimal.

The more you get to know someone, the more disgusted you'll feel about people, as a whole. Like how reliant some people are, how often you are used by others, the times where poor communication erupts in misunderstandings and any amount of explanations are always not enough. It is exhausting.

I'm sick, of communication. My head hurts. I feel faint.

On the bright side, I'm finally catching Julie and Julia on Friday. It's going to be off the cinemas very soon in Singapore, so I need to catch it before then!

I can only do a 'words' post now. Reason being Blogger is screwed up. Oh well, once again, it suits my url. ;) I have so many movies I want to watch, and that is nothing new!

I watched Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (always can't get it right), Labor Pains, New in Town, Sunshine Cleaning, When Harry Met Sally and maybe a few more movies (which I can't recall) during my absence from this blog. I'll share some quick movie reviews!

Ponyo was nice, it had a simple concept but was able to reach out to my heart. The director-cum-artist-cum-writer was the same person who did Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and so on! I'm inspired to watch Howl's Moving Castle again!

Labor Pain, starring Lindsay Lohan, how can I miss out on watching it? :D No matter what people say about her, I still think she is very gorgeous! Alright, the movie concept was very similar to the one produced in Hong Kong years ago starring Miriam Yang. Film wise, it was kind of identical. However, there was a twist in the story that was quite refreshing and unexpected. So, watch it for yourself to know it!

New in Town, Renee Zellweger, totally hilarious. This film totally captured my attention without fail for the whole time. Although there are parts in the trailer that wasn't in the film, which made me a little disappointed, humor was brought out in a style I liked a lot. A little predictable, but I enjoyed the good laugh, definitely worth a watch!

Sunshine Cleaning uses dark humor. Some parts were funny, while the rest of the film is mostly in a serious mood. Not really considered a comedy from what I thought, more like a drama? There is a meaning to the film. I was expecting it to be totally hilarious with the combination of Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. I had my hopes too high, maybe that's why. Whatever. I still sat through and enjoyed the whole movie.

When Harry met Sally. I know, I know, it is an old show. But it is kind of like a classic, I feel. I laughed and I cried during the movie. I like the way the movie is portrayed, segments and segments of different periods of time. It gave a very unique feel to the film. You watch it and you will feel this, 'Again? Oh man, just get together for Chris' sake!' Not in a bad way though. You will miss out a lot if you didn't watch it.

That's all! :D

Open House.

I love musicals. They bring pleasure into my life. Currently into Rock Musical Bleach. A Japanese musical based on the comic series, Bleach.

I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic again. I think I will not get sick of this movie, like The Devil Wears Prada. Nanny Diaries was quite nice too. The kid is cute, and I like the way the movie started.

It makes me think about the ways I can make a movie in the future, if it is possible. Humor is definitely my type, or rather, sarcasm.

I dreamt of something interesting and action-packed. My lecturer as a cool and attractive gun-woman, or however you describe someone who uses a gun. Quite a cool dream if someone doesn't wake you up when it is the most crucial part. It feels like a movie scene. :)

Mama lemon.

I'm not lying, it is freaking hot here in Singapore. I'm going to be roasted alive like damn soon. I wonder "oooze gonna save us" from the heat?

I want to watch Monsters vs. Aliens! I heard that it's "damn, bloody funny"!

Dear God,

Please shower me with money.

Amen.

Btw, I'm a freethinker and I believe that freethinkers have the freedom to pray too!

Tres Tres Chic.

Catching half of Angels and Demons wasn't half as bad I had imagined it to be. (Pun intended.) Before questions arise, I missed the whole first half of the movie because I was rushing to finish up a scrapbook with a friend for another friend's birthday. Whew, now I said that complicating sentence.

Back to Angels and Demons, it was quite successful in letting people get hooked on guessing who is the mastermind of all the evil doings. I guessed correctly from where I started watching, after a friend kindly summarised the first half for me in the cinema. Doubted myself a few times, but turned out to be right. The movie is a bit predictable, other than the mastermind thingy.

Paid $10 for a Sunday ticket, but only watched $5 worth. I was still saying I will not watch Angels and Demons since it looks so boring. Twist of fate in life. That happens to me every time. Should I spend my time catching the first part of the movie again? I wonder. Time is tight for these few days, or rather, weeks. Rushing and rushing, for everything.

My favourite soundtrack : The Devil Wears Prada.
Random, I know, but oh well. :)

Great! The picture for Yes Man! poster is up again! Hip hip, HOORAY!
I wanna watch 17 again! Zac Efron got the classic handsome look of men in the 60's or 70's or 80's? Either one! :)
Confessions of a Shopaholic is damn funny. Totally love the dancing part. :D

I read the book too, but I think both the movie and book has their own style. So please don't put them together and compare so much. :( Her baby is damn adorable. :DAnyone agrees that Amy Adams and Isla Fisher look alike?

Freaky is the new cute.

Look at the "No way man!" post, that's what you get when the picture is taken online and can't be seen anymore. XD

But, it IS a Yes Man! poster. :)

Test was kind of bad, Okto!Live at MediaCorp was boring, project meeting was dominated!! Aliens attack! By the way, I will introduce Alfred, soon. ;)

AND OH, DOUBT! (eyes shines at thought)

Scared.

I was right. I mean what I said in my previous post. Except for a little mistake, one problem have not ended, yet another came along.

I have totally no idea what it is about; all I know that it is about me and they are, okay, they look like they are going to ditch me. Totally ditching me. Of course, I'm scared, in fact, very scared. I don't know what they have been saying, I don't know what I've done wrong. I thought I was trying my best to solve the previous problem when no one said or done anything yet. Maybe talking to only one person will not solve the problem, but I didn't realise that it will get worse and worse.

I think it's my fault, no matter what they have been saying, because if I did not do something wrong, they wouldn't have something to talk about. I don't know, really, I'm afraid that I will break down. Everything is giving my head a big spin. I feel like crying, I feel like bursting out into tears.

Wow, so many "I"s in this post. Anyway, I have not watched the movies yet! Except for Bolt, which was quite good, I must say. I didn't expect it to be good, I just expected it to be cute. Hahaha! The show is worth watching, so if anyone happens to see this, try and catch it! (I think that this is the first time I cried twice for a cartoon. If I'm not wrong.)

Ah ha!

I admit, I should be studying for a test tomorrow and here I am, adding some interesting looking gadget to my little lonely blog. But I couldn't resist it! Doesn't it look cute! I love the world map.

Anyway, I sense an upcoming change, or probably it's my imagination or maybe doubt ;). It is quite obvious to everyone with eyes to see that changes are taking over slowly. All my friends have a personal little space in my heart. The size of it depends on how close we are, the closer, the bigger. As simple as that. While I do not like the idea of reducing the size of that particular little space, it is best that I let go before, as I said before, things become ugly. Forget it, friends like that will come and go no matter how unwilling we are.

On a lighter note, my friend has the novel 'The Devil Wears Prada'! Why am I happy? I do not need to go to the library to look for it again and borrow it for a limited amount of time. My fabulous friend will do me a favor by lending it to me, although she says that the movie is much better. ;)

I want to catch Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa in the cinemas before it is gone! It looks so amusing! That fabulous friend say I will absolutely love the movie!

Oh! Doubt is coming out next year, 29th January 2009 in Singapore. I know it is slow, but it is seriously much better than not coming to Singapore at all! Meryl Streep is in it! Love her! Amy Adams is in it too, and I think she is not bad! Love the colour of her eyes, something we Asians cannot have without the help of contact lenses! Oh well! Woo! Meryl Streep! :D:D

The Hours.

"Did something happen?" That simple question was enough to let my precious friend tear.

Life is a funny thing, maybe God was joking when He suggested ending life with something called 'death', and someone up there took it seriously. Thats why everyone ends up dying. Or maybe it is like the movie, Accuracy of Death (aka Sweet Rain), people die after fulfilling their purpose.

What about those people who committed sucide then? Did they have a purpose? Did they fulfill their purpose before dying? No one knows, for sure. There is a choice of life or death for everyone, that sounds fair. What about illness? Is that fair?

The Hours, another movie by Meryl Streep in the past few years. I love that lady. In that movie, which I understood but then again did not understand, talks about life and death. One chose death, hoping to bring happiness and freedom to others, another chose to live, for herself and brought sadness and disappointment to others.

No matter which road people take, we'll all end up in the same place at the end. I believe that there will be people there discussing about their lifetime achievements to others, and some sit at a corner regretting about things that they did not do.

Right now, there is another choice to make. To regret or not.

Enchanted Inc.

Another book down. This time its by Shanna Swendson and about magic. Imagine if magic really exists in the world. I bet I would be left out by the magical world then. I want to know more about magic, assuming it really exists.

Anyway, I was thinking, I realised every paragraph of my posts have no relevance to each other. It is really like random thoughts that is flowing through my small, empty brain. I can't seem to get stuck to one topic, unless I am in a bad mood. I like the idea of random typing of contents; I would not get marked down by my Scriptwriting teacher in school for it, and that makes me happier.

I am addicted to spending too much money ever since holidays, or maybe, term break, started for me. On the bright side, I am still in love with reading. Reading brings me to another world, to the world which the author wrote for readers like me. It is like watching movies, you are separated from the outside world. I love it everytime when I know I found an interesting book.

Okay, my thoughts got interrupted by a friend, not very glad by that interruption, but life goes on.

Books! I want to continue talking about books. Surprisingly, my English did not improve at all even though I read. But I think I would be able to survive with my standard of English. Everyone in my class seems to have a great command of the language, maybe it's just me. A happy note, I think I can understand what talents in movies are saying even without subtitles. Most of them, okay, some of them. I wonder if that counts as an improvement.

It is kind of late now. Looking forward to reading my next book, A Wedding to Die For. Sounds interesting, and if I'm not wrong, I'll be in for an adventure again! Not forgetting my gorgeous, lovely NDS lite when I'm bored. :D
