(500) days of summer.as you know, it's a boy meets girl kinda story.but this ain't no love story with the usual happy ending.this movie i dare say, defines love and relationships of this generation.this movie is what ghost is to our parents, and definitely a movie that in the future we will tell our kids about.
it's a very quirky rom-com, shot in a unique manner.the story is told as a nonlinear narrative, using 500 days as a way to chronicalize the story.the relationship of the story is based from the guy's perspective, a fresh idea.
basically, it's a story of love.about love.how we choose to remember only the good of it but not the bad when one ends.how blinded are we when we fall in love.
one wld notice throughout the movie, how the titular character, summer (played by zooey deschanel) is actually not much of the perfect girl that tom (joseph gordon-levitt) thought that she wld be.in fact, she's quite a heartless bitch who's very indifferent towards him.he loves her but she doesnt reciprocate the feeling.
and i guess most guys can relate to tom, in the way he shows his love towards summer.like whoa, she IS the dream girl for his and he is in what he wld call a perfect relationship.despite all the subtle underlying problems in their relationship that they fail to address at times.and you can see, through the little actions summer does, she actually has tom's balls stuck in a cookie jar.
one thing the movie is very unique is that it's totally told from the guy's perspective of a relationship.you see the expectations and reality, you see the literal thought bubbles (the scene where they were talking abt past r/s) and you see how guys usually chase after a girl.absolutely can relate to that.
in a way, it totally reflects modern relationships and how it works.the times where we're indifferent towards each other, in the slightest of mannerisms.the way we look each other in the eyes and see the love in it.how we guys try and fail to get over girls that really impacted our lives.how we wallow in that pool of misery.and how without fail, pop culture is an essential thing of life for us now.
5 out of 5 popcorns.THE love story of our generation, and a perfect look on relationships of these days.love how the movie integrates into the movie (regina spektor's us, the smith's please, please, please let me get what i want, hall & oates's you make my dreams, the temper trap's sweet disposition and wolfmother's vagabond) and how the mood of the movie changes w it.

caught inglourious basterds today.

surprisingly, this is the least violent and gruesome of all the tarantino movie's i've watched.simply put, it's abt the 2 seperate plots to assasinate hitler and nazi, one by a jewish cinema owner and the 2nd one by the basterds.
and whatever quentin tarantino does can go no wrong.the movie is very dialogue driven, which allows room for much character exploration and development.esp christoph waltz as ss officer hans landa.so many facades of his character is being portrayed through the film and i think no one could have done it better.
and what is the film like w/o the titular characters?a motley crew of nazi-killing basterds.brad pitt as aldo raine, eli roth (the hostel director) as donny 'the bear jew' donowitz and til schweiger as hugo stiglitz.
brad pitt has the coolest accent ever, eli roth the cocky motherf**ker and til schweiger as the german with the unorthodox ways of murdering pple.
and and and.probably the find of the film.

this is for you girl.
guess it's the time of the month where i write the usual touching and mushy stuff abt you haha.anw it has been 19 months since the wee hours of the morning of 17th feb 2008.that moment when i decided to ask you to be my gf.
i still rmbr it like it was ytd.i still rmbr your vague reply where you said you're taking a big leap.i still rmbr how happy i was.how fast 19 mths has passed since then.
i was sitting in the office this morning, thinking.i can't believe i've gone 19 months with you, sherilyn.i'm amazed because never did i thought that this relationship would last this long.we've gone through the happiest of times and the roughest patches together.we've done the darndest and call each other names.hell, we've even broken up a few times.
but one thing is for sure.i'm thankful for everything.
i'm thankful you happened to me, and gave me probably the most topsy turvy 2 years of my life.i'm thankful to have you as mine for 19 months.and never did i regret every moment spent with you during this period of time.
with me being in ns now and you still working for now, we can't meet up as often as we like.that is why i've learn to treasure every little moment we can spent together, however short it is.and i've learned to treasure you even more than ever.
which is, mostly due to the fact that i tend to get so sad and lonely in the morning in camp due to unfamiliar faces.not forgetting the boring army directives i've to study.
but you.
you're the thought that keeps me gg through the day.i realise i really do miss you so bad whenever i think of you.your smile.your eyes.your messy hair.your soft and small pair of hands.the havaianas sandals and reebok jacket you used to wear.the way you talk.the way you walk.the funny noises you make.the way your nose crinkle when you pout.the way you put my arm ard your waist.the way you laugh.the way you cry.the way you drag me to the shops you go.the shy smile you have whenever you come out of the changing room.the look on your face whenever you're annoyed.the grey baggy lee (or was it giordano?) jeans.all the songs that you've dedicated or sang to me.
it's during such times i realise how impt you are to me.you complete me.without you it seems like something's missing.like how things just becomes dull and less interesting.i confide and share everything w you, my joy, my fears, my insecurities.
you're the only person who sees me in a way no one else does and you love me like no other.you showed me what it's like to love and be loved, which is one thing i'm grateful for.
they say ns is a test of your relationship.i truly hope it strengthens our relationship.make us both realise that we're past the stage of arguing over the little things.to think ahead and see the consequences of our actions whenever we were to start flaring up again.
and being in the army gives me so much time to think, think about everything and anything possible.
what would our future hold for us?will we still be together many years down the road?will we find another soulmate?will we eventually one day get married and settle down?many questions with no certain answers.
but i promise you one thing.no matter what the future brings, know that you're my first love.know that i'll love you forever.know that i really wanna be with you , through every argument we will have, through every joy we will share and through every moment when you just need to hold on to someone dear.i'll be there.
because you've been there for me, through it all.
happy 19th month, sherilyn.

let me tell you a story about love.about a boy and a girl.
it was an august evening,or rather, night.it was the last concert of baybeats 09, with anberlin being the closing act.the boy and the girl were there.right in the middle of the crowd eagerly waiting for anberlin to come on stage.the girl's cousin and brother left to find a better spot at the back, leaving the boy and the girl alone together.
after a long 45 min wait, anberlin took to the stage.many hundred pair of hands raised towards the sky, screaming their lungs out.and the boy went 'FUCK YEAH'.
then it began.the moshing, body surfing, pushing and shoving.the boy and the girl, the crowd around them, were pushing.shoving.desperate not to lose her to the sweaty bodies around, the boy held onto the girl's waist, tightly.
the girl flashed the boy an uneasy look.
the boy saw the look in her eyes, and he asked her why.but the music drowned out whatever he had to say.
enjoy the night, he thought.don't let her spoil it.
so with every song played, he let his emotions take over.screaming along, hands held high.every once in awhile, he look out for the girl.making sure she's alright.
but truth was, the girl was enjoying the show.she asked the boy to just concentrate on the concert, not on her.she assures him that she's fine with this.he knows that she is.
then came the moment.the band played the song inevitable.to much cheers from the crowd.everyone had their hands held high, swaying along with the music.there was no moshing, no pushing nor shoving.just enjoying the show.
somewhere in the crowd, someone lit up a lighter and waved.a symbolic sign.
the boy did not have his hands up.he held onto the girl, with his hand around the girl's little tummy.oh how he regretted not telling her how beautiful she looked then.she was oblivious to the boy, and how he looked at her.
then he whispered those lyrics in her ears.i wanna be your last first kiss, that you'll ever have.i wanna be your last first love, that you'll ever have.
there was no reaction from the girl.then she turned and looked at him.and told him to stop breathing in her ear.the boy smiled.
because it was at that very moment, he fell in love with her again.the raw emotion gnawing at his heart.so strong he couldn't express it at that very moment to her.
because he knew, there will be no one like her.there will be no one would be able to tolerate such rowdiness in a concert like that.there will be no one to tell him that he's crazy and as nuts as the crowd around them.there will be no one he once liked that would go to this concert with him and actually enjoy it.
at that very moment he thought, if they both were to be married, he would choose that song as their wedding song.because it was the first concert they went together and it would be special.and if they were to have kids, he would tell them how he fell in love with their mom over again that night.
he knew the girl was touched.and that she was just holding back by telling him to stop breathing in her ear.she just don't want the boy to know that.
with that, he planted a gentle kiss on the girl's cheek.

3 words for ytd's baybeats.ANBERLIN MOTHERF**KING ROCKED.first up was at the observatory deck at the esplanade library.it was some interview sessions or smth of that sorts.
and they performed radiohead's creep!
ANBERLIN.




and they performed radiohead's creep!

later in the evening, they performed an acoustic set at the outdoor arena.stephen christian can really sing live, no shit.they did songs like a day late, the unwinding cable car, inevitable, paperthin hymn and feel good drag in that 1/2 hr set.




way later at night, they closed up baybeats at the powerhouse.what a crowd i must say.plenty of moshing, bodysurfing, pushing, shoving.not forgetting the condom balloons.
songs were mostly the same as the acoustic set.with additional songs like godspeed and breaking.there was a sample of the song there is no mathematics in love or loss during soundcheck, but wasn't played during the set.
they did an encore too, for *fin.apparent crowd favourite haha.
and nathan young was fucking awesome on the drums.



definitely a night and a concert i won't forget.
