Spare me the heartbreak

Do you guys know that I absolutely ADORE the crime-solving show, Criminal Minds? Yeah, I can't go to sleep every here and then because of it, but it's still my favourite crime-solving television series. It used to be CSI and NCIS but CSI got way too predictable (equals no fun) and NCIS put a bit of naval politics that I will never understand (no fun too), so... Yeah. Plus, Dr. Reid and Morgan is an eye candy. I'm such a girl sometimes.

The show got me appreciate life more. Like, live your life to your fullest. Psychopaths are everywhere nowadays though I know the situation here is not as bad as in America (and in the TV show) but still. Sometimes the unsub a.k.a. Unknown Subject only has 'types' not 'certain people I want to kill' and I'm forever grateful that my face is a weird kind that doesn't attract weirdos, and I have zombie eyes + constant bitchface to scare people away. My point here is... What if you fit the 'type'? You didn't do ANYTHING wrong, just because you fit the type, you have to be strong enough to be tortured and murdered like in the show. They usually get the bad guy during his third or more victims, but if you survived, it would still leave a freaky trauma to your soul. It's a big big deal. Well, at least for me.

Better sights though, the way the team works is really cool and I think it's the main reason I'm still watching it. Regardless the smart choice of actors and actresses the producers hired for the cast, what they do in the show is really believable and it is really cool. Talk about Penelope Garcia? I still think Abby from NCIS is the queen of every lab in human land but what Penelope does is breathtaking. All techy stuff usually buys me. I'm an easy girl to please. And Dr. Reid crazy intelligence. Even though Emily is no longer in the show, I think she's my favourite female role. She's just so awesome. Plus, little Henry cameo here and there is making me curious every.single.day.

I'm not trying to scare you away though, it's just something in my point of view. Seeing someone's life is literally taken away when I'm here complaining about mine is certainly isn't fair. Some things in life are there to disappoint you, make you happy, make you sad, and that's because c'est la vie. As I said a thousand times before, that makes you you and no, it's not that Oxford University double word brain trick that you've probably seen in Twitter or Tumblr. Or Facebook, if you're still in 2009.

I guess... Spare me the heartbreak, as long as you let me live.

+ Sorry I didn't link up everything! I'm just so tired and I'm waiting my (endless) download of Security Update. I will link it up tomorrow! Oops. I mean, this afternoon? :d

Body Jam 63: WHAT? GREYHOUND?

(The tracklist)

Yay. I missed the launching due to useless hang outs at Starbucks so this year I promised myself I won't miss a launching except if there's an urgency like laziness or lack of sleep. Lol.

Anyway, I didn't went to the gym, for almost two to three weeks. Because of the Pare thingy and finals. I was so excited that I googled Body Jam 63 and seek for the tracklist. Guess what. It's amazing! I mostly knew the songs, thanks to song buddy Rayhan, and there's Greyhound. It's one of my favourites of all Swedish House Mafia songs and remixes. I was so excited last Tuesday I went early and stretched a little before class starts, hehehehe.

The steps weren't hard, except for the Greyhound part. It was a 'remix' of shuffling as you can see it here but somehow it's harder for me to follow. My favourite is still the one with Calling (Lose My Mind) but this is fun too. There's this one move where you move your hands as if you're murdering bunch of mosquitos and yes, I haven't nail that part. I know I haven't get used to the routines but I sure feel like an idiot in that class because I was the girl who nail each part of the choreography and sometimes do the challenges and take the higher level of power. 

There's this fun movement where you kinda tap your thighs and pretend like there's sand in your hands and you want to shake it off. There's some light kicking too, I feel like it's Body Combat lol. I should update this when I nail all the moves right detail them right. Wish me luck!

Review: One Day the Movie

I thanked Yavis Hastra! She managed to somehow find the movie I really really really want to watch which is One Day and I couldn't be happier. Truly. I loved the movie. No. I love the movie. Still in love. Will always still be in love.

It starts out with the graduation of Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew and their relationship years after years on St. Swithin's Day, July 15th. My favourite was the year of 1992, 1996, and 2000. Then of course, 1988 will always be my favourite because it was the first day they actually met. It was a joy to watch, especially with Jim Sturgess. He was beyond my mind, because I was thinking of a less charming person when I read it. Who's Emma Morley on my head when I was reading about it? Won't tell!:p

The love and hate relationship Emma and Dexter had, the long letters with pen marks on the behind because the pen is too pushy, the I love you but I just don't like you anymore, the irony of being stuck with someone else when the love of our life was under our noses all along, the waiting, the twenty years of waiting. It defines life. That years after years, everything is going to fall apart yet everything will be alright again. It will be alright. That every fights have their ends and every love, every single one of it will eventually end. In a different way maybe, or it will be the same. It's kinda upsetting and contenting at the same time that David Nichols still put the same end; in the book and the movie. Reading before watching the movie will give you, I don't know, the I-know-what's-coming and having to read the book twice gave me every bits of details there is. The kiss, the smile, the tears, the words and yes, I praise David Nichols for not changing too much. Because I feel like my imagination being lit up by watching the screen.

At the end, I'd give this four and a half stars out of five. It's a frikkin masterpiece. Not to mention Rachel Portman's score. But I have to say though, it's the reading that changes my life. It's the reading that helped me, gave out cues for me, gave out warnings that no matter how disappointing life is, it will be worth-living. 

Screencaps:



Go for a watch. Want a better option? Read-the-frikkin-book.

Wordful but typeless

I had sentences running down my brain to my spines to my everything but I lost it all. Maybe I'm just tired.


I finished reading One Day by David Nicholls. Can't wait to seek for the movie and watch it, and die a little more. It's basically my life on 70 gsm, fabric bounded and covered by some pretty cover. And yes, it's a heart breaking ones. The one with love that needs twelve years to realise that it's real. she's the one I've been looking for and for all these years book. It's beautiful. It's filled with satire, comedy, laughs, love, contradictions as complicated as ever and it's just beautiful. I don't know. Some paragraphs (that I'm definitely going to quote somewhere after the madness ends) are just so me, and I see myself as Emma Morley. At first, my life may not work out but soon, I'd live in a city that I really love and every breath will be effortless, every money I spent will be worthy and every liquid I sipped will be yummy. I love rhyming things.

 Because Chelsea, Chelsea is our name.

No fouls! #RESPECT for Insan Kamil and Ummul Quro who was playing that day.

Yeah, it's for you, Biw:p

BODY JAM 62...

... WAS FUN!

Hell yeah it was fun. The movement was quite complex (the jump turn &strip part... If you were there, you'll know) but the music was so-so... I kinda hoped for a better mix like 61 or 60 which really turn up my stamina and my mood. But maybe I wasn't enjoying it 100% like I usually do in Alvin's class because a) The girl in front of me wasn't dancing and she kept blocking the mirror from me and b) I ran, yes, ran in a nine centimetre heels earlier and it was painful. 

This is the tracklist

I like the groovedown part, because it has some floor action that's quite easy and cooling. My favourite part... Well, everything. I had a hard time following though especially the first time with the front kick/wiggle/side kick/wiggle choreo but I think I'll ace it in practice (in Alvin class, obviously). It's a major loss that I still have to continue English First because I'd love to put more time in gym, hence the fact that I still need to drop a couple of pounds but the Thursday/Tuesday/Weekends arrangement has been perfect for me, yay:D 

Watched TED today with Amel and I KNOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE 20+ I KNOW I KNOW but I can't help it I really want to watch the fuzzy-thick eyebrow-bear so I kinda lied a bit during the ticket purchase. It's not like I'm going to say 'asshole' when I'm driving (because I'd be saying brengsek instead) or go on a binge drinking or smoke pot. The last point was obviously impossible because I'm highly allergic to smoke and carbon monoxides or whatever it is smoke made of and I'm not interested in hanging my life on a thin thread of weed. I know it's not wise for me to do so and let's just pray to god that if I ever have a child, s/he won't be running around, faking age like it's bound to happen (with me with glasses and wedges) or the technology just got better, like, you can ID a people by looking to their eyeballs//palms//wrist I don't know something the government could develop.


Cool tunes for the weekend and I'm off for a good Sunday tomorrow.

For all of you Lesmills throbbers, ENJOY SIXTY TWO!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
