man of the week



LOOOVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE SKINS ... FREDDIE!!!
"You're making me mad now, Effy. And that's exactly what love's supposed to do..."

"Your kindness amazes me..."

Since when was kindness a sin? Or why is it, that every time I attempt to be nice, it gets thrown back at my face and used as a dish rag, then is continuously torn and trampled over? I was told that my kindness amazes people. That despite the crap I go through in life, I still manage to live life with a smile on my face and become even kinder to those who hurt me. I can't exactly comprehend and explain it, but another friend managed to summon it up to "when you're smitten with someone, you go overboard". It got me thinking then, about the last couple of incidences when I went "overboard". I guess the first early memory I have was in year 3, maybe earlier, but this is the most significant one I can remember. It was recess or lunchtime can't remember the exact time, but our class was eating indoors and some guy asked for my chocolate. I kept saying no, kinda the thing I do which is play hard to get, ish (=P). Anyway, this went on for all lunch and about halfway through lunch, I gave in and went back to him and gave him my chocolate. Minor as this seems, it's seemed to have escalated into to degree where my kindness not only makes people smile, but also sickens them. I just can't seem to please people, which sickens me...

Inception - Mind blowing indeed

So I was saving this movie for one of my close friends. Unfortunately it was kinda impossible since he already had advance screening tickets and I was working that night, and other people wanted to watch it with me. So i felt obligated to watch it with them.

So here's the breakdown. There's this guy who has awesome skills of jumping into your dreams and technically steals, Leo DiCaprio. He's like your average guy, with a family on the side who he never sees, also whom we never see till the very end. Leo's offered the deal of a lifetime, implant an idea in some random guys head and you'll be with your family again.

Now, here's where the movie starts to get complicated. Inception - implanting an idea into someone else's subconscious. Inception requires to go in a dream, within a dream, within that dream. SO, in short, three dreams in total. Nuff said right? Easy enough right? Nothing is ever easy or simple in this movie. Which is what makes the movie was awesome. Yet, it doesn't exceed the boundaries of complexity. It borderlines overcomplexity and moderate complexity. So yeah, in short, it doesn't make you feel dumb if you don't understand it the first time. I could recount how many times I sat in the cinema, asking my friend next to me, "so which dream are they in?", "why is he there?", "what's going on?". And I can bet that I wasn't the only one thinking this.

On to the acting, SUPERB!!! Top actors and actresses remaining true to their roles. But I must say, best performance, by Marion. Despite her attempts at hiding her French accent, she was insanely scary, but in a good way. One of my favourite scenes, when Ellen Page enters Leo's dream of the night his wife (Marion) died in the hotel room on the night of their anniversary. The look of Marion's face as they continue up the elevator, and the way she just overshadows Ellen Page, BEAUTIFUL!!!

One other scene which caught my eye was the fight scene in the hotel corridor with JGL. Which brings me to the effects. FUCKING AWESOME!!! Words can't describe it! Seriously.

My rating .. 5 corn chips out of 5, 10 out of 10 gold stars! A+, all of the above.

16

haven't done this in a while, but I'm pretty bored at the moment, so I thought I'd reminisce about the good ol' days ... so here it goes, 16 random facts about me =D

1. I still have no idea what I wish to accomplish with the course I'm doing at uni, and it scares the heck out of me. I do animal science, yet I have never had a pet in my life or had any first hand experiences handling animals until I started university.

2. Certain songs that I listen to, remind me of certain time in my life or of certain "people" (if you catch my drift), most of which I have linked together myself. For example, the song "This is me" from Camp Rock, reminds me of the last couple of days before HSC officially began and I experienced a terrible emotional wreckage.

3. I can't save money to save my life. As soon as I get paid, I go on one massive shopping spree, mainly for DVD's, which bugs my mum so much. One day when I move out into my own house, I plan to have literally an entire library of DVD's.

4. I went to my first concert officially this year on my birthday. My dad went to his first concert way before I did. It was the BEST day of my life.

5. After watching Toy Story 3, I never want to give my toys away, NEVER.

6. I sometimes lie to people about the mini "adventures" I'll be taking in the next couple of years so I can hear them say they'll miss me, or beg me to not go. Like I plan to move to the U.K with my sister and finish my studies there, no one says anything.

7. I love to daydream, especially just before going to bed and during lectures. I daydream of the most cliche things, like meeting a guy who will love me, getting married, getting myself into midlife crisis's about guys, travelling around the world and one of my favourite things to daydream about, when two guys fight over the same girl, i.e. me. (yeah I know, how LAME of me)

8. Lately I've been really excited about babies and the notion of having babies. I think babies are the most beautiful things in the world.

9. One of these days, when I've finished university, got a stable job, that pays heaps, I plan to move out in a house that overlooks the beach, tall glass window, with a balcony where I can sit at night or early in the morning and watch the ocean and sun rise and set. I want my own little library and DVD library in my house which is hidden away in a secret passageway, a backyard with a rainforest backdrop, three dogs names Finn, Pinkie and OJ.

10. People think it's weird that I find certain women hot, such as Scarlett Johansson and Katy Perry. Well to them I say, open your minds and maybe when you're older you'll understand.

11. I've been working at Red Rooster for just over 8 months and despite that aggravating customers and complaints, I could never be happier than when I'm at work with my friends laughing over stupid things.

12. Along with collecting DVD's, I also collect a variety of classic books such as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and The Tell-Tale Heart. I kinda want to, but at the same time haven't really started it, collect old books from secondhand book stores, with those special messages written on the inside, like in "Definitely, Maybe, Yes", when Isla Fisher collected Jane Eyre books hoping to find the one book with her dad's message in it.

13. My worst fear is being alone. Not being able to either help anyone, no one needing my help, or when people have neglected and abandoned me. Luckily no one had done that.

14. I didn't think this was such an OCD thing, but before I go to bed I turn my alarm clock on and off, on and off because I get paranoid that it won't go off in the morning and I end up rushing to get to work or uni. Every time I get out of bed or tuck myself in again, I have to turn my alarm on and off again. Also another OCD thing is that I hate peas, so whenever I'm eating fried rice or something that's got peas in it, I must take out all the peas and leave them aside.

15. I've met some of the most amazing people ever this year. And they make me feel young again.

16. I've recently gotten into "Man v.s Wild" and every time I get hungry or someone else gets hungry and there's nothing to eat, I quickly think of my Man v.s Wild skills. It's heaps lame!
