Articles from July 2011

Reactivated one of the old themes that I had.  Just feel like doing so…

Kinda in a contented mood now, after a rather difficult, rollercoaster week.  Finally found some peace… after deciding to throw caution to the wind.  LOL.  Sounds a little contradictory, huh?  Well, let’s just say that sometimes one shouldn’t over-think too much.  Oh yes, that’s what I’m telling myself at the moment.  Just go with the flow, I guess.  If one doesn’t try, one will never know, perhaps.  Trying too hard to protect myself may result in things/people/experiences that I shouldn’t have missed…

If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, then perhaps you are not meant to understand it.  Haha!  Maybe only one or two person would understand what I’m trying to say here. ;)

In any case, the Hong Kong trip is confirmed!  Airtickets booked, hotels reserved, itinerary tentatively planned.  =D  Just waiting for the week to be here!  About… 3 more months, I guess?  Darn, such an agonizing wait!  :(

On a side note, hanging out with someone whom you can totally click with feels so different.  I had thought I could click with Reko and he was my soulmate or something… but wow,  how wrong I was.  There are people out there whom I can talk to on a totally different level.  It’s really amazing… Ok, enough of the self-mumbling here.  Off to play some games!  ^^

Just watched Transformers Trilogy marathon yesterday at Marina Square alone.  I have to say marathon-ing movies are fun!  I mean, just leave the brains at home and go watch non-stop action for the whole freaking day, with only 20minutes break in between.  Free flow of popcorn (which is kinda wasted on me) and soft drinks!  Transformers 3 is good – as usual, leave your brains at home.  :D

Re-watching Transformers 1 kinda re-ignited my love for it’s OST.  Not the one by various artists, but The Score, by Steve Jablonsky.

This is one of the most epic music in Transformers 1… just listening to this can bring tears to my eyes.  Don’t ask me why, seriously… I have no idea.  It’s just so grand, so heart warming, yet heart tugging at the same time… I really don’t know how to describe the feeling… Damn, Steve Jablonsky can be such a genius sometimes.  Other epic tracks include “Arrival to Earth” (posted below), “No Sacrifice, No Victory”, etc. I’ll leave it to you to discover on your own.  :)

I really don’t understand how can people watched the movie and not remember the music in the background?  It makes up the entire mood of the scene, or the movie.  It can make or break the entire movie, you know.  That’s how important film music is.  It’s not just about effects or that techno/metal song at the end of the movie that shows up in the typical “Various Artists” soundtracks.  It’s the music that’s being used throughout the movie that tugs your heart strings, that makes you feel for the characters and what they are going through (robots, or not).

Sigh… it’s so hard to find people who can appreciate film/trailer music for what they are…

Well on the side note…  The Hong Kong trip that I’ve planned in November most likely is gonna happen, yay!  Lots of planning to do! =D
