*Intro
Here it is, at last I'm reviewing 2012 Game of the Year. You can shake your damn head as many as you like on the fact that this year GOTY is not a triple A. All I can say is play it, and let the game speaks for itself. I personally like it because I don't have to spent like 60$ for a GOTY hahaha screw me.
*Warning this review represent my opinions only feel free to post yours
Yupz that's the trailer, and congratulations for all the GOTY awards you have collected so far, I bet thatgamecompany had a hard time counting the award (evil smirk). Ah hem let's get on it, Journey is a game developed by thatgamecompany exclusively for PS3, produced by Robin Junicke, directed by Jenova Chen, with original soundtrack composed by Austin Wintory. Wow it's rare for me to list the developer name oh so completely, it's because I want to thank all the guys in thatgamecompany for making this beautiful game and elevate the term 'game' into more general (aka more than FPS (aka more than CoD)). Thank you and thank you and I can't thank you enough.
We play as nameless cloaked wanderer and we begin our journey in the dessert with the mountain as our goal. There's no intro cut scene, and we don't even know what's there in the mountain, hence even the game don't say we should go to the mountain, but somehow you just know it you have to go there. As you wander around the dessert there's a simple tutorial which teach you how to jump, control your camera, or do an act that looks like shouting some notes. This shout is the only communicative act you can made, it'll charge your scarf, opening some way, and you can't speak with your friends but shouting will resonate your scarf with theirs. Oh yeah and the scarf act like your jumping energy, the longer it is the higher you can jump, and if you make contact with anything with the pattern of your scarf (be it regular paper, (something like) kite, (something like) very large fabric) you can jump very very very very very high and trust me it'll help you through the game.
Now now you realized you have to reach the mountain, the scarf and the shout will help you open the way and so begin the journey. From the dessert to (another(pink)) dessert, to some underground ruins, you'll walk, skate, and journey through all the place. I don't have to say it but you'll feel like on a some kind of pilgrimage, it's so ethereal . On the way you'll feel astonished on how beautiful the setting is, the sand goes gold under the light of the sun, and it shines more while the sun set. You can see the shadow stream beautifully like a symphony. Add the dreamy music at the background and you'll find yourself absorbed in the journey .
It doesn't always in the dessert, you'll go underground, upperground (hahah), and windy snowy super cold place. You'll find friends who goes on a journey too, but you can't communicate at all, no names, you can only resonate the scarf each other. Along the way you will meet some creature who can cut your scarf and make it shorter (srew them), I honestly think the creature could become a collosus (Shadow of the Collosus referance). After a long journey you'll reach the snowy point and....... Ah hem, I don't want to spoil it go play yourself.
Conclusion
Journey is a pilgrimage adventure. You'll absorbed and awed at how beautiful the game was designed. The idea behind the game is original and new and the nameless friends and limited communication is meant so player won't prejudiced at each other (genius). The gameplay is mostly a bit platforming, but who cares because in Journey the gameplay is not the hightlight, but the journey you've gone through itself. The setting is really beautiful, the color choices was amazing, and the shadow and shade oh wow I have to kiss the shadow and shade, itt flows so beautifully you'll drop your jaw. Accompany the amazing setting with the Grammy nominated music (congratulations Austin Wintory) it will be epic. Journey is a must have game and has that impact, and I can still imagine we're talking about Journey in a couple of years.
P.S. : I have QCing it and my typo is getting fewer and fewer who hoo. (glad for nothing)
Huh #longsigh I'm gonna reviewing Amour now. The reason for my long sigh is not because the movie was so bad, in fact it's so good and truthful, honest, and just like the old saying 'The truth is always hurt'. Let's waste no time, here's the review
*Warning this review represent my opinions only feel free to post yours
Aaaahhhh love, love, love, allll ya'll need is love (southern styles The Beatles).Okay honestly the sigh ya'll make at the end of this movie is not a happy sigh. It's not because this movie is bad, it's because this movie is not doing the one important thing what movie must do, it is 'Entertaining', it asks us to think and doesn't want to entertain us even for a tiny bit.Maybe some of you still confused on what I said before, but ya'll understand if ya'll keep reading. Have I said the director is Michael Haneke? I guess no, so yeah he's the director and he won palme d'or for the second time in a row with this movie, how cool is that?
The story is opened with firefighters check an apartment because of residents compalint only to find a corpse of an old woman. It stops and shows us a piano concert of a real pianist named Alexandre, in the story however he's Anne's student which played (marvelously) by Emmanuelle Riva. She along with her husband Georges which played (again, marvelously) by Jean-Louis Trintignant are upper middle class family, former music teacher. After the concert they come home, realized that someone tries to break through, and then do some small talk like regular couples do. Be wary that this is the end, ya'll (I mean we spectators) stuck in this very apartment until the end of the movie, so brace yourself. There's something fascinating when they come home and do that small talk, Geoege says you're beautiful to Anne. In their age, something like that is rare, hence even my parents never do those kind of things again, I think it's like a statement that they ARE really love each other.
The next day as usual they eat together, do small talks and then suddenly Anne fall silent, just like a robot run out of battery. When she react, she doesn't remember anything, and the truth is Anne got a stroke *sigh... I'm not gonna spoil the story so let's just say Anne will only got worse and Michael Haneke doesn't even try to hide how miserable Anne (and George) is. It's almost like cruel, there are tiny bit humor moments but mostly just ...... *sigh (again). The fact that 99% of the setting is in their apartment and not background music even for a tiny bit just *sigh (again).
Conclusion
Amour is a statement film, maybe your flesh will deterioting and then gone, but love will never cease to extinct, in the end only love that's left from their existence. No background music, because Michael Haneke doesn't want to console us with some relaxing music, he just wants the truth of age (and love) speaks for itself. What can I say again I'm just astonished, well playing from Emmanuelle Riva and Jean-Louis Trintignant, also Isabelle Huppert whose act as their child. Just heed my word, if you want to learn just abit truth of living a life, watch this movie but don't expect something that will entertain you. My own suggestion is watch this film, I just hope Michael Haneke will get what he deserves from Academy Award.
*Intro
I'm currently doing 2 reviews at the same time which is this review and Michael Haneke's film Amour. One thing for sure Amour will be post before Oscars hahaha. I don't usually reviewing K-Pop group album (besides BEG and Big Bang) because usually the other track beside the main track is only a filler, but I have to admit that...... uhm well it's for the closing hahaha.
*Warning this review represent my opinions only feel free to post yours
1. I Got a Boy
So the first track is the leading single, weird move, but not rare. Usually the leading single will be put at second or third, but let's not complicate ourselves with that thing. Okay now the song, the song itself is GREAT. It's not amazing, but hey they're not BEG or Big Bang, this is a massive improvement. The song is quirky, constantly improving, the time when you say 'the song will be going like this' it changes again surprising us again and again and again. A fun pop song that's kinda mixture of 2NE1 and Miss A I think. The only problem with this song is there are parts that's sound too aegyo it makes me cringe. Okay let's face it, it's GG anyway aegyo always exist, there are some parts that tolerable, but something like 'michyeoso michyeoso' arrrhhh. The lyric is standard, but at least it's not dumb. It's a great track, SNSD must be proud they finally doing something different and 'good'. As for the MV, hahaha not as good as the music. I love the color, there's a sense of Harajuku style, and there's this romantic red scene like Sistar's Alone, although they dance in a box it's entertaining and not boring. My only problem is the guy is completely useless and the drama scene is useless, you can barely get anything there except our lovely ladies acting insanely cute. The concept is aegyo swag hahahaha, I said it, it's aegyo swag. For me it's a bit weird that doesn't mean it's bad, maybe just maybe GG will be the trendsetter of this concept. A few ladies (name Yuri and Hyoyeon) do their own concept which I called Feminine classy swag, they dress like 2ne1 with Miss A attitude. So great I love them. Wow just for a song and the sentence keep piling up and I haven't done the dance department. The dance is cool, they tossed their high heels, do something more energetic, it's refreshing. In general I love this, good job girls oh and anyone who review this badly is just a hater I think because although it's not perfect this is really good.
2. Dancing Queen
O...M....G.... I don't like to bash people so I'm gonna keep this short. Duffy's Mercy is a great song with retro blues influence that's really refreshing, and so this Dancing Queen (cause technically it's the same song with only different lyrics). This is SNSD pre-famous right? Yup I tolerate you for ruining such a great song with ridiculous concept and dance. Well this is an album so we can only hear and not see, I'll say this is a good song, just don;t watch the MV. Honestly Wonder Girls could do this better I think, but once again this is pre-famous so yeah it's okay.
3. Baby Maybe
Actually the song is really good, it feels like spring, fresh, the flowers are all blooming, and cute. The music is likeable and the lyric is cute without being too cute, it suits my palate and I actually love cute things so honestly I love this song. The problem is once again the way they singing, mostly it's good, but there are some parts they singing it too cute. This song is already cute, you don't need to add any sugar at all. So far this song reminds me of BoA's Japanese album The Face so I like it, good job girls or should I say Pixie Lott? hahaha. (It's originally Pixie Lott's demo they said)
4. 말해봐 (Talk Talk)
Uhm I don't find this song interesting, it's so standard. Both the tones and technique are common, but the singing is fit and I think only the capable one singing this song and the least capable like providing background hahaha that's just my guess. The auto tune used at the right time, they didn't use it too much. Uhm it's a very standard song not bad, but not good. So there aren't anything to comment actually ah hem...
(Oh yeah this is recycled from their Japanese album, and I was like (what??? Is it so hard to provide an original song))
5. Promise
This song is good. I do have a little fetish on ballad, but I will keep it clear here, it's not super outstanding but it's good unlike SNSD's previous ballad which seemed forced. It talks about past love, you break up, you cry, you passed it all, you want to move on, and you kinda retrace all the memories. It's good I like it, this is one of the strongest song in the album.
6. Express 999
I can't help it, it reminds me a bit with Britney, Spice Girls, but they make it more modern and it's amazing I love it. You can hear some trumpet mixed with the techno, the lyrics are unique and do I have to add it's sounds good and not cheesy. You can feel the beat and groove, overall this is a very exciting song and a really good job.
7. 유리아이 (Lost In Love)
Is this TTS? Because it sounds oh wow very very amazing. Hehe, the intro with piano and glass sound really makes it sound so dreamy and sad at the same time. The girls voice sounds amazing, the notes also needs some technique and I just can't imagine all 9 SNSD sang this. This track sounds almost like BEG, WHAT?! BEG?! What a progress have you made SNSD. I love it, people will and should love it, good job.
8. Look at Me
Huh, so far I've been so happy listening to the album, a rare case for SNSD material btw that's why my happiness goes double up. And this song ruin it all. I'm not saying this song is super bad, in fact the indian drums and flute can be cool like Jai Ho, but instead it goes into cutesy and the girls also sang it with cuteness overload my head is spinning around. The lyrics also kinda silly haha maybe it's just me. Whatever next please.
9. XYZ
This is a catchy electronic song, I like it but I also think the bpm is kinda slow. An electronic song must tempt you to dance, and this song is a tad slower to tempt me to dance. Overall I like it, this is like Britney, Ke$ha, Rihanna. The lyrics penned by our lovely girls Yuri and SeoHyun and quite good. Honestly this track is quite good I kinda spechless on what to comment.
10. 낭만길 (Romantic St.)
Another ballad with spring screaming with every notes played. The intro is grandiose, there's this jay swing smell from afar and then it changes to (luckily) not too cute sound, it's in a tolerable dose. In fact it sounds good. Too bad Jessica's voice is too nasal I'm sorry queen it's the fact, she can trade lines with Sunny whose voice is cute in a good way. I love this song what can I say.
I Got a Boy is a great album, SNSD album usually sounds like trash boxed in a very beautiful package. But this time, it's sound like a real album. The tracks are very good and doesn't feel like a filler, I'm having fun reviewing this album because every tracks are worth to listen to (except Look at Me), they tossed their high heels, the dance energitically, and it pays. For every person who thinks this album still sounds bad, I can assure you they're just haters, it's not perfect, but this is absolutely not a bad album.
This one is gonna be short too. My mama had gone home and I have just made some crazy decision. If this is goes wrong I swear I will go crazy (I know I'm already crazy) or maybe it could lead to suicide. I can't tell you right now, but I will soon.
This is gonna be reeeeeeaaaalllllyyyyy short. I'm can't move freely in my room because as I said before my mama is coming. That way I decide to rest for awhile, I'm gonna back with more review, variety competition recap, etc. I even write this in a hurry heheh.
It's bitter sweet. You know I love my parents, I truly love them, but we are not connecting duh. This is my last of holiday and it'll be interrupted because we are in the same room, I can' just run away. Oh and that's also mean I have to watch some trash soap opera produced by my country. I have told you that my country is a sucker when it comes to soap opera. By all means I won't let anyone ban me to watch Asia's Next Top Model I know this night gonna be so intense.
Oh yeah suddenly she offered me some articles about "Teenager and Parents" I read it, it's a good article talking about how parents SHOULDN'T control their childs life wow I deffinitely agree good article. It said parents should support them at the front which means teaching moral value what's good or bad, what's the consequence. Teaching beside them which means to be understanding or even try to experience what their childs exoerience, because just like the old saying 'you don't know how it feels unless you walk in the same shoes'. Teaching behind them which means like watching over them, in the end, the child itself has to make decision for their life not the parents. The parents job is watch over their child, make sure they don't sink into pool of sin.
We fight, we make up, and I'm sure we're gonna fight again. I don't know how long this cycle will stay, but I'm bored, but I don't want to give up either. I have given up for so long and I just want some freedom in my life, it's not like I'm going to use drugs, free sex, or such anyway.
Well that's all I guess, as usual I love my parents but we're not great as a couple hahaha. And I take this quote from the TV series World Without End. "Live, happiness would follow."
*Intro
So this is my first game review, I hope I don't ruin it. Honestly I'm a bit clueless on what to do, but according to another review all I have to do is tell how the gameplay flow and add this comment and that comment in the middle. After that close that with a conclusion and a score. Yes, a freaking SCORE. You know I never score any material on my review, I just give you my comment. Ugh I hate score. Anyway here's the review.
P.S. : I'm completely clueless on what I have to do so I stop, this is gonna take awhile. Oh I'm watching some news and they use a game music as bgm. I know it's not important.
*Warning this review represent my opinion only feel free to post yours
Yupz that's the trailer. Dear Esther is an indie game developed by thechineseroom and I would say an adventure exploration game. It features minimal interaction, no menu, and technically no gameplay, that's why I said it's more to the explorative game. Dear Esther has been debated on it's validity as a game and what I'm gonna tell them is "define a game" or "if it's not a game then what?" Enough with the debacle let's get it started.
Dear Esther opens up immediately in the land (without main menu) Hebridean and there's this narrative from a man technically talking to what seems to be his wife name Esther with a sad haunting piano at the background. Okay it's a first-person and now most people think the person in the island is either Esther or the man. I personally think it's Esther, why? We'll get to that later. After the narrative done you are free completely free (not a typo) to do anything aka explore the island. As you explore there are some places that when you visit them, there's another narrative being told. Let me warn you it contains a lot of hard vocabulary, at first I thought it was my lack of english understanding that prohibits me, but some people said it's kinda thesaurus word so yeahhh.
This land is really yours to explore that's why maybe the order of your story will be different with your friends although in the end all your goal is the same which is to reach the lighthouse. Oh and beware you maybe miss some narrative if you just straight to the lighthouse, maybe the extra narrative is not really important but it helps you to comprehend the story. Oh and I suggest if you don't have an elephant brain (like my goldfish brain) you better write it, take a picture, whatever just to make sure at least you remember the main thing.
It's an exploration narrative game, but if you look at the big picture there's really no gameplay and maybe just maybe they intent to do it like that because this game doesn't have this kinda main menu. Its job is to make the story shine and I know some game elements will make the story struggle to be told. The story itself is captivating and it tells a mystery surrounding this person Esther and what did happen to her. I really think that the mystery choice is wise because it will make us the player at least sit (and play) until the end. As I said before the highlight is the story that's why gameplay kept limited.
Despite the story being the highlight, I would say the light goes to the cinematography. The real power of the game is its place, it's really beautifully detailed, the sea, the sky, the plants, the cave, and even the littered beach hahahaha. The color palette looks like some noir movie and it gives us the hauntingmystery feel and at some point I'm sure few of you will feel scared. So props to the cinematography. The music and sound is close as being the winner which composed by Jessica Curry good ob girl the Ost is so spicy and hot. The opening track makes a statement what will the game be, they keep it simple with piano and some strings, lots of minor key so the sad gloomy aura is really felt. The sound editing also did a good job, mostly it's only silence with sea sound or water droplets. This land is inhabitant, there's no sound of insect or bird singing, not even an owl at the night. There's only one eagle in the game and it's really refreshing because all of it just gives the lonely feel and the silence really scary.
I guess that's all I can say about this game I don't want to tell you what's happen at the lighthouse (at least not here) because I won't spoil the game and you'll miss the fun. That's why I think I will interpret the story in the paragraph below and if you don't want some spoiler skip the paragraph below.
-SPOILER-
Yupz in this paragraph I will give you my interpretationof this game. For me the story goes like this, Esther Donnely is in a coma because of an accident caused by someone named Paul and her husband is in somekind faith pilgrimage.You can see in the cave there's painting, and it's a neuron which is a nerve cell, and we know that brain is the central nerves system that's why I think she's in coma and usually family will tell everything for a coma patient . It is said the island itself is himself or mind or heart whatever and we played as Esther which journeyed through our husband stories and experience and misery I think. You can say he's in a desperateseekingtruth state based on how gloomy the island, his narrative etc. That's why the last scene when we fall (honestly I'd rather say that we fly) is a metaphor that our husband had been sincere and he's whole heartedly accepting what happens. That's my interpretations, well I hope I explain it correctly and clear hahahaha.
Conclusion
I really don't like scoring something, because in the end everythings up to your taste and I love this game, I really really love it. That's why I'll describe its pros and cons. This game is very story driven game, the story contains a lot of mystery and it's almost had no gameplay so it can be a little boring. However, the scenery is amazing, the musics are captivating and it only takes 2 hours at maximum (I'm a slow player that's why it takes 2 hours). Oh and I also don't like this what everybody called "replay value". A good game will attract the player to play it again despite zero extra things at the second play. Yupz I write it in bold because think something like FF7, Shadow of the Colossus, people playing it again because it's so good it deserve second play. Yupz that concludes all and I'm sorry if there's anything wrong with my review, it's my first game review and I only express my opinion.
Hey FINALLY, I finished this Lotus review. It's a great project because it is really tiring to review 16 song one by one, but I did it and I'm happy it's Xtina. Because I grow listening to her and I really do know her material and..... Let's stop the talking here's the review.
*Warning this review represent my opinion only
1. Lotus
Just hear the lyrics, it generally said revival, new beginning, and survival. A perfect metaphor for the flower lotus and although it's only an intro song it's addictive. I always think Christina's voice doesn't need any auto tune because it's too beautiful no machine can make it more beautiful, but it's fit and quite good. The ethereal feeling fits perfectly and the poem is really touchy. It's fun to see someone sings about empowerment, don't give up thingy, freedom, and love. While the others sings about party, sex, drugs, illuminati (because if it's a joke, it's not funny), satanism, etc.
2. Army of Me
Not surprised if it's called Fighter 2.0 because the wiser, stronger, and fighter lyrics. Sounds like her Bionic material but sounds nice, voice is as awesome as ever, and what attracting me is the lyric. It isn't said that her heart is healed, it's still crumble, but in that miserable state she found power to get "revenge" hahaha, revenge is not my thing. Anyway this is the kind of track you want to releases as the third or fourth single, solid track, but doesn't follow the trend (thanks Rihanna and Kesha).
3. Red Hot Kinda Love
This is the kind of addictive pop song with catchy words that Rihanna's alike has been promoted lately (sorry for hating Rihanna so much, I love her song btw although it sounds like hell). Basically Xtina want to fuck you, feel good about it, own you body and soul, and.... huft a little red hot let me rest a bit. What else to say, it's a catchy song and highly addictive.
4. Make the World Move (feat Cee Lo Green)
I love this song, it's like a pop techno song with a bit retro feel to it. The lyrics highly suggest that this will be some kinda anthem song. It talks about unity and peace, I think the lyrics and the song really fits perfectly and it's a catch song. So for God's sake promote it Xtina. Oh, the only downside of this track is, I can barely hear Cee Lo.
5. Your Body
Yupz, this is the title track everybody. Sounds nice, the lyrics is so now (sarcasm), catchy song, and why it's still flop. Oh come on, I'm a fan, but it's pretty clear it flopped at the chart. One night stand lyrics, techno music, catchy notes, funny video, and it also contain what lacks in other song, great voice. With such package, why it still flopped? I don't know really, I just don't know. Maybe if I can suggest something is to make the track a bit faster. Based on my predictions maybe it 90 until 95 bpm, maybe it'll be more catchy if they make it 120 bpm, only a suggestion btw.
Oh yeah, the MV is amazing, funny, and Xtina really confident in her curvy body. She and J-Law could make a good role model for young teen girl. I mean the curvy thing not the one night stand part. Lots of color, and the blue paint and pink confetti as blood, wow it's so funny, eccentric, great MV.
6. Let There be Love
The first time I hear it was at the AMA, and I got attract at first hear. I immediately thought why this track is not the title track, and I am still wondering. This disco sound is a great never failed formula for a highly catchy addictive song. The tension that build into the refraign along with Xtina powerful voice just great and the 'let's go' part is like a brief pause for a great climax. The lyric is talking about some free sex again which is okay (and I'm getting used to it), no more comment, I love it and Xtina better promote it ASAP.
7. Sing for Me
Mostly piano with a bit extra instrument. The instrument sounds really slow and it's good because as the title says, the highlight should be Xtina's voice only. Yes her voice because the even though the lyrics sounds sincere, it covered by Xtina's voice. It contains belting, and the others technique that Xtina always use and it's totally okay. This track is made for Xtina and in this track there's nothing I or fans or critique can say, the moment is yours.
8. Blank Page
Piano, ahh this instrument never fails to create a great ballad track. Christina's voice is softer in this track, it's great because the lyric is very fragile and vulnerable and the interpretation hit the spot. Unlike Sing for Me where Xtina's words covered, in hear we can hear her, cry with her, and comforting too. This track sounds sincere and great for a closing track in an album hahaha.
9. Cease Fire
Everything fits, the marching band, the lyrics, and the metaphor it's great. The chorus is intense and the refraign is more relaxed which gives a unique feeling, oh and don't forget the intense bridge. huft I'm sweating (litteraly) here. The lyrics talk about freedom mostly and covered by war metaphor. Quite interesting because most war triggered by money or freedom.
10. Around the World
Yupz in this track Xtina (again) wanna have fun, sex, and traveling at the same time hahaha joking. She wants a really good sex it feels like she's traveling around the world. Honestly I'm not really understand hahahahaha sorry I'm a bit slow. The music sounds great and ah hem, no more comment hahaha.
11. Circles
Hahahahaha, this is verry funny song, and once again the lyrics sounds perfectly fit with the music. The start we hear funny eccentric sound and it get's crowded in refraign. I think it's a bit overprocessed at the refraign but just as Xtina says "you can spin around in circle in my little middle finger". The awwwhhh, the laugh, it's a mocking song and it did good on it's job.
12. Best of Me
After a couples of fun song, we get serious again. It talks about a human paracite, who can only take a make use of you, oh wow a bit emotional here, it's so me. The lyric keep it general so you can relate it to you lover or friend or anything. The intense refraign and marching really makes a strong statement "You never get the best of me". I've broken into pieces, I've been mistreated, but I won't go down. Thx Xtina, promote it, it's a great inspiring catchy song.
13. Just a Fool (feat Blake Shelton)
Once again the lyric is so fragile and gloomy. Talks about the cruelty of love, *sigh. A solid pop song, great voice, although I don' think their voices doesn't suit each other. I like it, but I don't think it'll be a great second single. It's just my guess anyway.
14. Light Up the Sky
Another empowerment song. He eh, I'm getting dizzy and tired because it's late night urgh vertigo. The lyric is beautiful and I think it's lighter than other song. So far everything has been intense, crowded, some are over processed. Hearing this makes your ear relaxed after those songs before. Maybe because it's almost the last of the album. Anyway I like it, what can I say?
15. Empty Words
I know the notes are completely differeny, but the feeling is still the same. It's lighter, talk about empowerment too and the worse is Xtina technique is exactly the same singing those song. It's not a bad track, but it's blood track 15th, put some mind blowing song so at least listener will listen the album to the end.
16. Shut Up
Hahahahaha, almost like Circle, but this song is not trying to be funny, it's a pure mock. Basically after hearing all the track people will criticize and all Xtine will say is "Shut the fuck up". Great closing song I like it.
This song is revival, a process to be strong, it contains it's fragile side too, and it also tell us to have fun. For me the track divided into 3 category, the fun which my favorite is Let There be Love. The fragile part which my favorite is Blank Page. And the last is empowerment part and my favorite is Make the World Move and Best of Me. I think Xtina is going back to her roots as pop princess and It's a pretty solid album although not brilliant like Back to Basics, I love it anyway and it's a worth to buy.
Oh btw, the album gallery which contains pink, blonde, silver, and white is georgous.
Hahahahaha I'm just laughing at how corny and tacky the title is, and I write anyway, screw me. Congratulations Christine Ha for winning Masterchef US Season 3, glad to see Monti back at the finale, so beautiful. Btw the top 6 is really intense, you can say that all of the girls at Asia's Next Top Model is really strong and there's no room for flaw.
And I don't write this post to talk about how awesome they are, I want to talk about the fans. Since I'm a big fan of Asia's Next Top Model I'm doing heavy search. I look for photos, video, profile, activity, and the list still goes on. What attracting me is a discussion room (I don't know the English word). I forgot by the way the name of it. BUT, it contains of what I called modern fortune teller hahaha. They can predict the possibility of what's happen next with just simple tiny words.
Like last episode the Red Heavy 15 KG Dress, Stephanie was doing really bad (sob), however there's no elimination. They already know, thanks to short commercial where they saw Stephanie in the photoshoot underwater. I mean it's less than a second, not clear, and their guess is true ahmazing. And they also predict Stephanie will go far because they saw snapshot of her doing Harper's Bazaar cover, and the shot only showed her back. How can you guess? Waw. And also Kate doing the street photo, and they predict at least Kate enter the top 5, woooowwwww. So far they have been clueless with Aashta and Helena's fate, that's why they predict it will be either Helena or Aashta which will be eliminated in the next episode. Wooowwww again.
Based on their prediction the top 3 will be Stephanie, Sophia, and Kate. Wowww my 3 favorite, I hope it's true. Especially Kate I want her to go far, because she's so beautiful and funny, and bubbly, and hyperactive hahahahaha I LOVE HER. Like when she was catwalk backward hahaha, I laugh alongside the other girls. And also Stephanie, she' so kind I know she's the kindest girl in the model home. She's been invited twice for a challenge by her friends and she's the only girl whose act was kind to Helena (poor girl). In the Red Heavy Dress episode you can see Helena was so glad by the fact that Stephanie wasn't elimindated (and probably pissed off because Sophia was save too heheh). She immediately hug Stephanie. oooowwwwhhhhh. (Oh I can't find Steph photo hugged by Helena, sigh)
And Jessica I think one of the safest girl in the house along with Aashta. They don't stand out, they're neutral and keep everything as peaceful as possible. By the way Aashta's face is really high fashion, like Chanel Iman, more high fashion than Trang. Ehh I'm rambling too much, better finish this post. Go Kate, Stephanie..... and Sophia. I want to watch Michael Haneke's Amour now ciao...
It's hella bloody holiday, and I waste my time in desperation. Miserable is my middle name and my score for the exam doesn't help at all.

Despite the lack of attention, it still attracts visitor it's amazing especially the Monti Carlo and Kate Ma post, I don' know why hahaha. Shit, my word become mismanage again, it's been so long since I write, whatever this is only like intro for other post so yeah....
