Yes, I'm home on a friday night (again), blogging.
I don't know if it's pure coincidence that both Riri and Chris Brown released their new singles for their upcoming albums at the same time but it sure is amusing. Like the both of them are trying to say something.
Chris Brown's latest single, "Crawl", is his usual ballad number. Sounds a little bit like 'No Air' (duet with Jordin Sparks) to me. Sounds a little desperate to me too. No doubt his vocal adlibs at the end was pretty good but still, nay.. Chris Brown's gotta try a little harder to get anymore brownie points from me. The score board right now says a -10000000000.
I'm looking forward to his new album, though I can almost imagine most of his ballads will be trying to tell his fans how apologetic he is about the whole situation.. blah blah blah..

Music: Rihanna, The wait is Ova
Riri surprises me, over and over.
First, she cut off her long hair to a short pixie crop. Next, she allowed boyfriend Chris Brown to hit her, sued him and then forgave him. This time round, her latest single, "Russian Roulette" exudes a dark and depressing vibe (looks a little SM to me too..). Well, we all know how Russian Roulette is played. Somebody gets hurt, somebody dies...
I'm a little excited for her brand new album, "The Wait is Ova". C'mon, Riri, why are we waaaaiting?

ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY
.. Really I am.
Few things I've done terribly wrong this week:
1. Bought my mom an mp3 for her 51st birthday
2. Bought my mom an mp3 knowing she wouldn't know how to fucking use it
3. Bought my mom an mp3 knowing I'd be the one to help her put songs in
4. Bought my mom an mp3, ripping 1 of her CDs, and now the CD's stuck in my new MAC
Oh baby, I'm so sorry. :(
I will bring you to Dr. Azhar tomorrow and he will fix you, ok?
Dear Mom,
You've done it this time! I'm finding it hard to forgive you!
I'm going to throw a bitch fit if my baby doesn't get that metal out of her body!
Your daughter.

Upcoming Movies: New york, I love you
There are so many great movies coming this fall. And I personally can't wait for this one.

Movie Picks: Julie & Julia
It was a last minute decision, Lala and I decided to go a late night Movie (Sarah joined us too). Lala get to pick the venue and I get to pick the Movie. My mind was fixed on watching "Julie & Julia".
Right after Devil's wear Prada, Meryl Streep still surprises me every time I see her on the big screen. She never fails to make her audience laugh, cry and think. This time as Julia, Streep is a huge bundle of joy. I know, I know - it is hard to imagine her that way but she totally is. She was extremely theatrical in this one, it was a little hard to watch at the beginning because she was laughing too much (and often) and so easily excitable - hardly even how I imagined her to be; but as we watched on, she becomes so irritatingly adorable.. she grows on you. And without surprises, Streep has outdone herself. Again.
Both Streep and Adams were 2 women in different times and place, sharing many similarities they're facing in their lives. They both needed something to do. Though, Adams being in a more recent era, needed something to do with her mundane and almost failing life. Both started a regime with cooking. Cooking opened up both their eyes and heart to things they could have never encountered. Like what they said, "The first step is always difficult".
However both of them were fearless women with so much determination to make it happen. And they did.
Like most things, we all need courage (a lot of it, in fact) to make something that seemed impossible to master, happen. So, with a little love, faith and some imagination, anything is possible. I enjoyed how I was so engaged in both their lives (felt like I was time-traveling every 5 minutes!) and feasting my eyes with french delicacies. Sometimes the movies just make everything seem so easy.
I say, follow your heart... Make the best out of your life. Bon appétit!

September babies
Just birthday wishes before I retreat for the night:
Happy 21st birthday, Ally!
I love you so much and you know that. I hope the day when we're both old and wrinkled, you'll still be my partner-in-crime to conquer the world!
Happy birthday, Azhar!
You probably won't see this and I can't afford to get you a Scottish fold, but I wish you success in everything you do. You're destined for greatness. It's only once a year I'll throw you an awesome compliment, so accept it graciously.
Good night, people. Will write when I have something good in mind.
April xx
