irene san kyou wa ogenki desu ka
Early (and i mean very very early) in the morning
All is quiet when the silent is being shattered by :
All 3 [singing] : hey hey!!!!
"3" : i will survive!
"2" : i will survive!!
"1" : i will survive!!!
All 3 : we are survivor, we gonna make it, we will survive, we are survivor!!!
Making a commotion those three, so happy so blissful when suddenly....
...temperate drop to -50 degree...thunder! lighting! follow by blazer!.....the perfect storm!!
The 3 slowly turn their heads and saw...to their horror....sidekick(!!)....
sidekick(!!!!) is standing outside the kitchen looking at them (lucky only look did not glare but still...)...
The 3 [in a small tiny timid voice] : o..ha..you..............
{From the 3 point of view, the follow event is play out in slow motion}
Sidekick...slowly...nod...back....took...off...the...apron....open....her mouth......and....say....
{from the 3 point of view, sidekick is going to announce their tragic death!!!!)
Sidekick : breakfast is on the table. Inform her too.
Then just like a breeze, sidekick is gone....
All 3 frozen in space...........
20 seconds later
All 3 still frozen in space....
Another 20 seconds later
Came out and saw the 3 standing in the living room looking like they just saw a ghost staring at the kitchen table.
Wow got breakfast some more. Got bacon, eggs, toast bread, waffle, coffee...all my favourite.
Hmmm don't tell me today sidekick prepare breakfast?
Wonder what happened to make her feel good enough to prepare breakfast.
Know her for 32 years and the last time she did that is....is......hmmm...so long ago can't even remember when is the last time she did that.
Nah no use pondering on no value added question, better eat first then think later....ittetekimas....
30 minutes later....
Oooh time to go to work. But.....but....weird weird because the 3 haven't move since...something happened. Or are they sleepwalking? Should i wake them?
Perhaps this is their latest idea of joke. Better leave them alone...ittekimasu...
Countless seconds and minutes later, the 3 finally recovered :
"3" : i still...
"2" : .............can't believe...
"1" : ............................................it.......
"3" : hmmm...you think this is you know...
"1" : a trap?
"2" : don't know, could be...
"1" : a trap?
"2" : but do you think she will really set...
"1" : a trap?
"3" : well based on her past behaviour...
"1" : the answer is of course not!
"2" : why you day that?
"1" : because she is the type who will openly execute her enemies, you know throwing in with the torture the torment the slashing of throat chopping up the bodies parts blah blah blah the whole nine yard things.
"3" : good thinking. So we can safely conclude that...
"2" : she did not poison the breakfast.
"1" [stomach growling] : lucky cos i really ready to faint from hunger.
All 3 : itadakimas...
"1" : wonder why sidekick is so good today.
"2" : kind of make me feel uneasy.
"3" : ya i agree.
"2" : actually this goes to show she really is not such a bad person.
"1" : hai but why is it that we just can't seem to get along with her.
"3" : she is so mysterious. Kind of creepy most of the time.
"2" : maybe we really should put in the effort to you know..like...get to know her a bit.
"1" & "3" : agreed.
"2" : so its on then!
Five more minutes to go and its noon. Wonder whether if the 3 is alright a not. Don't know what they are up to. Come to think of it, why are they called the 3? Hmmm. Am sure they got names but just can't remember. Did they told me? I forgot? Hmmm...quite curious. The 3....hmmm....is it because they are 3 person so got refer to as the 3? By the way why is sidekick called sidekick. Hmmmm...the 3 and sidekick. So weird.
Extra!Extra!!Extra!!!
All 3 : for one night only! We will be conducting an interview with...tatata!!!...sidekick!!!!!
In the living room thus sit, three very super extremely nervous nuts know as the 3 and one cool cucumber only known as sidekick.
"3" [nervously] : arigato sidekick san for agreeing to this interview.
Sidekick : .........
"3" [still nervously] : today we will only be asking you questions that are requested on popular demand, hope you don't mind for some of them are personal questions.
Sidekick : .........
"3" [bit shaky] : but if you find those questions too personal and don't want to answer its also alright.
{sidekick nod her head}
"3" [feel bit confidence] : so the first question is..
"2" : are you sure you want to ask this question?

"1" : just imagine our lives is in danger all this time and we don't even know about it.

"3" : got problem?
"2" : just now sidekick say..........to come back for dinner.
"1" : dinner with us?
"2" : dinner with us.
"3" : hmmm...dinner with us............
Wonder why the 3 suddenly called me, thought it's life and death only to ask me if i am going home for dinner tonight. Don't know why 3 sound distress when i said i will be eating with irene ang. Those 3 always up to something. Don't know what they are doing this time.

"3" : hmmm...my last will still around..can recycle...
"1" [ready to have heart attack] : where is the phone.....got to call higher power!!!
Dear diary, came home late tonight after having dinner with irene san. As usual the house is so quiet i thought the 3 are dead.
But nope as usual they are spread all over their room sleeping.
And then they are still writing their will.
Is this a new trend. For youngsters to write will in advance. Really touch wood man.
No chance to ask them about this afternoon call.
Hmmm those 3, although troublesome but can be cute sometime.
Last minute then remember its the 3 birthday today. No wonder sidekick prepare breakfast and dinner for the 3.
Sidekick might look fierce fierce on the outside but who would believe she is so gento inside.
So that it's for today. As usual dewa atta ki o tsukete, ittekimasu.....

Blade san, vampire no naka de dare ga ichiban suki desu ka
I blame it on the lord of the rings and matrix.
Cos since these two epic came out and proved to be a great success, suddenly all films got to come in trilogy.
And thus you have blade I, II and III.
If classification of movies is only "bad" or "good", then "blade" would, in my opinion (only), falls under "bad".
However it not really all bad for blade I and II.
Blade I and II are rated "M18".
This means that if you did not get to see any breasts then you got violence.
So no breasts to see is ok, I can see mine (hahaha).
The violence is there but not really extreme. Still, better then nothing.
In blade I, we get the original story of this half human half vampire hybrid blade on his cruise to kill vampire!
The storyline is interesting enough. You know you got the vampires vs vampires, vampires vs human, blade vs vampires formula that if the screen writer did not fuck up, will work to be quite a not bad movie. Fortunately blade I was quite successful.
Then after that, riding on the success of blade I, we got, blade II.
In blade I, we had the battle between the pure blood vampires against the duplicate vampires (those who are not born vampires but got turned aka bitten) plus of course not forgetting their ambitious goal to take over the human society.
A lot of fighting and blood spilling.
The acting is quite stiffed but bearable.
All you need to do is to concentrate on the action and one and a half hour of the movie is bearable.
In blade II, we got another new storyline.
Now it’s the vampires vs reapers, blade vs vampires vs reapers.
Who would have thought of vampires feeding on vampires. So when I finally "get" what this second movie is about, it help to maintain my interest. Even though the "wanna capture blade to breed another generation of daywalker" concept get a tiny bit old but what do you expect right :)
The actions, the pact is as good as blade I even though the acting of the various actors still failed to pass.
But what to say about blade III.
One word - "Disappointing".
The movie suck is it because the producing company thought that they could just ride on the success of blade I and II and assume that the audience would, without any doubt, be a sucker and accept whatever crap that the movie dish out?
That is the only reason I could think of.
Blade III, in my opinion shouldn't even be produced at all.
Not all movies got to come in trilogy!
The movie maker always make the mistakes of not knowing when to stop.
Just because the first movie sells, they must have the second movies, and then the third, and some even have fourth, fifth.
Often it’s the sequel that ruin it all.
Like all other vampire movies that has got sequel, sooner or later, the writer will have to bring out the one and only "dracula" when they run out of story to write.
And its ok.
I mean the most powerful, the first of its kind, the king of the vampire world, the invincible dracula!
He himself is a mystery that we all couldn't have enough with.
Do it right and you got a movie that sell.
Mess it up and you get…blade III :(
Blade III should be called "bland III"
The story is so bland that the screen writer deserve a kick on the ass.
There is totally no acting skill shown throughout the whole movie and the worst things is that the actors kept dishing out jokes that are so dull and not even the bit funny that even I felt embarassed for the actors who had to deliver it.
It was at the last minute while putting the dish in my DVD that I saw the rating is only NC 16.
There goes the violence I thought.
And quite true there was no violence to be expected which surprise me cos in a movie with such bland storyline, I thought they would at least used violence to cover its flaw but sadly there was none. Its like what stephen king said, if you can't scare them, then gross them.
The screen writer should learn from another vampire movie "from dusk till dawn".
There is not much story in "from dusk till dawn"
But what the writer lack in story, they made it up with violence and occassionally flash of breasts.
And that it, such simple things that turn the movie around and made it interesting to watch.
So far this month has watch two bad movies, "hills have eyes" and "blade III".
Luckily still got jurassic park to scare the hell out of me.
Wonder how would blade III be like if stephen spieberg were to direct it.
Dianosaurs vs Vampires vs blade?
Hmmm

ima wa totemo tsumaranai yo
Who would have thought that this is possible?
Once there was to be no dream. Reality is merciless. And yet it is in this intolerable cruelty that he has found serenity.
With that one glance, something akin to his own he saw reflected in that pair of eyes and set upon a chain reaction that bind and interlock their fate. Take example the philandering, think that it would cease after this encountered but it exploded instead. After you stoop lower than low this coat becomes your best defence. At least they won’t smell the original repugnance as other deceptions has taken over its flavour. Oh and don’t forget that this round, they did cry after sex.
Should it be taken as coincidence or should it be called random. Will the people involved treat it seriously or as usual manipulate and twisted to serve one purpose and discard once it past it sell by date.
And did he try to explain. To let him understand what it really is by hugging his quivering form and offering useless proposition that goes one, life is hard, two, life is cruel, three, life is random, fourth, sometimes good people are forced to do bad things and like it a not, five, sometimes innocent people dies.
I try to let him know that nobody should bother that the past should be left well alone. Half way through my explanation, he stop me and asked, do you know that sometimes innocent people dies?
Try crawling through a tunnel and be engulfed in darkness till you forgot what is day and how is night. Then just when you finally got use of this obscurity crawl back out and see if you could adjust to the light. Come back and forth and at that split second when you thought you are going to collapse, you will discover that you still possessed the capability to surprise yourself.
When I am lonely, I asked myself silly questions of who I am and what is my purpose. Outsiders are so confident that I could make it. They gave me encouragement and positive feedback as long as the toilet roll. Under such circumstances what is stopping me from picking myself up and topping myself over? And when I asked myself those silly questions, I know that I don’t expect any answers. But deep down I still hope you know. That somehow he who is so high and almighty might finally heard my cry and reaches down and touches my heart and promise that he would send his guardian angel to protect me.
But still I am lonely.
And still I cry.
This void I try so hard to fill and everything I do fail to help for the emptiness is getting bigger and deeper. I killed. Only in my wildest dream it came true. I am not bad but not totally good either. I swing in between and get torn even with the slightest hint of badness seeping through my dream catcher. I asked, but you don’t answer. I have nobody on my own. Don’t tell me. I know I am lonely.
That perfect man breaks thy heart. He who remain mysteriously obscure I have been trying since to figure him out. His body is his temple and on a rainy day I saw, through that spotless window the soul residence within has been evicted long ago. It’s a haunted temple. Its wall smear with blood and the floor littered with bits and pieces of remains of those he classified as scum’s unworthy even of this piece of wasteland.
He spun and draws me till I got tangle in his web. Thus began this quest of me waiting each night: for a ring of the bell, turn of the knob, creak of the windows. Any sight to signal he is coming for me. My vulnerability is my weapon. Yet now it’s getting too heavy for me to carry and more and more often I noted the tremor in my hands when I point it at my enemies.
Even this word scares me.
It used to be enemy.
When did it become enemies?
When did I become so unpopular?
Or has the world population become so intolerable that they could find no space to accommodate my existence. When he committed murder how did he feel really?
Recently I couldn't even muster the strength to mourn. And the light that went out of their eyes, the life that drain and fade, the dead, their death, thrilled me. My vulnerability is my weapon that has now turns against me. I send coupons to those who wish to terminate me. I reduce myself to this lump cover with filth so thick even the rats scatter from me. Did I hear that or am I mistaken. Did the time really come? I think I need to take a bet.
Please excuse me for I must now leave to get ready…for that perfect man to break thy heart.
Strip of any clothes, cupping her breasts in her hands, legs crossed leaning against the white wash wall advertising perversity to molesters, rapists, and paedophilia whatever. Outrageous display of provocation took your breath away and even the saint couldn’t help but steal a glimpse. Somehow the brain could not process this image of an innocent angelic face coupling with that womanly body that sluttish gesture of lust and yearning.
Did your heart skip a beat?
Are you hit by pang of pity; pity that it is not your hands caressing that flesh of fresh meat squeezing that breasts? Are you horrified by this effortless lure of temptation then tried to compensate this guilt by dragging up the topic of morality? If you are suppose to represent uprightness, why do I still hear your thought questioning the likelihood of her spraying her legs for you. You wanted but hesitated. In lieu of this dilemma can I take away the probability of you ever venture to the city of sin? What must I do to convince that it is only as easy as stepping forward and asking her how much? Come on tell me do you want! Stop dilly-dally, she is not here for no reason! Show her the money!
Who would have thought that this is possible?
Once there was to be no dream. Reality is merciless. And through this serenity he first identifies then apprehended madness.
Maybe that why even when the coldness of the blade first prick then penetrate the skin, he could still deem this as hilarity and laugh all the way till it slice open his heart.

doushite yama ni wa mutant na no desu ka
senshu no kinyoubi ni eiga o mita desu.
namae wa "the hill have eyes".
totemo tsumaranai yo.
saw the review for the second instalment of the movie and got the impression that the first was nice you know. so went to buy but only got vcd no dvd, so its ok.
then the horror and nightmare really begin man.
the first half of the movie was so boring i really am half asleep when watching it.
the story is very sloppy with no plot at all.
and i mean nothing at all.
the whole layout of the movie is predictable, the scary scenes are predictable and even the ending is so predicatable!!!
there is completely no surprise at all.
the movie is just like the last piece of chicken left on the buffer table that nobody want to touch.
the starting was ok. you know with a little bit of blood and violence to hook you in. and then it went downhil from there.
the family who will encounter the mutants appeared.
you got the typical ex military dad who liike guns (eyesrolling-in US movie, all ex military guys got to carry guns, talk about guns or sleep with their guns), the nagging mum, the not so beautiful oldest married daughter with the "oh i am not into earning money but working for my interest and oh i am into world peace so don't show me yr guns" husband and not forgetting their typically cute baby.
then the typically slutty beautiful second daughter who did nothing at all except bitch bitch bitch and ya then strip to her bra and suntan.
the youngest son, unfortunately play by this young actor who was from my point of view, too good for this movie.
i say unfortunately cos his performance seem out of place among the others who did not act at all.
and then you got this old guy who for reasons not being explain, not deform and not being eaten by the mutants, but seem to be working with them.
then you got the mutants who are damn ugly and evil and kill and eat human (yawn)
and this other mutant girl, not really very deform for she look only a bit weird, who not surprise at all is a mutant with an angel heart (yawn yawn yawn).
she save the youngest son when he met an accident, she save the baby girl when she got abducted and finally she sacrificed herself saving the baby dad!!
should be so touching and should make you bawl.
but i completely feel nothing for her.
there was no story line being develop for her and its a pity she end up to be yet another annoying character.
and after all the characters made their appearance all they did for the first half of the movie was talk talk and talk. and there was no chemistry at all between the characters to make the talk even a tiny bit interesting!
second half of the movie doesn't save the first though.
even with the actions finally in place its still doesn't stop me from giving it a thump down.
totally not worth watching!!
