H: I spent my whole life wanting something and doing my very best not to find it.Never even going near the places it might be and suddenly,I got the goddamn thing practically chained around my neck.
L: What are you talking about?
H: You.You.You're the....you're...you're the goddamn thing.You're...I mean,you're...you're...Aaaahh...I can't describe you...I don't...I don't....I don't write that kind of shit...I write...you know,the people who write the real books,the love books and the poems and even those stupid little fucking novels with the hunky assholes on the cover.You know...you know what I'm talking about?
You're like,princess shit.You know,fairy tales.You know what I'm saying?The million guys are after her and they're blinded by your beauty kind of shit.Real big stuff you know...even we got the dick who kidnaps you and sticks you in a cave and you're guarded by a 5-headed dragon,and you know,the tales of your plight are spread throughout the land and now all the guys go and put on their shoes so they can see what's up,but none of them have...have the balls to save her except for me.
I would go through anything for you.And still...there I was,looking for a way not to see it.Anything.
I'm sorry to her fans,but I just don't get the hype with Marie Digby.Her voice is nothing to shout about.BTW,Mandy Moore did a cover of 'Umbrella' long before she did..duh! Now Regina Spektor..that's a singer with a voice that can do so many things to it--

I'm going to list some of my favorite female singers here with a favorite video of mine of each of them.
1.Regina Spektor
I discovered her on the net around 3 years ago and have never stop listening to her songs.Her voice is amazing and she likes to make each of her songs unique because of her wide vocal range.Some of her songs make me smile while listening to it like 'Consequence of Sounds',Hotel Song','Poor Little Rich Boy', and 'On the radio'.Her beautiful song 'Samson' made me research what happened between Samson and Delilah.Plus,Disney has chosen her to sing the theme song for the Prince Caspian movie.The name of the song is 'The Call' and I haven't stop listening to it yet.
Consequences of Sounds
On the radio
2.Rachael Yamagata
Izza told me a story about her how she become the girlfriend of that one dude in the Smashing Pumpkins...it was so sweet,how they met each other and such.And then I started to listen to her songs and she sound great!She sound amazing when she sings live...My favorite song is Be,be your love...I used to listen to that song for days...But she's famous for the song 'Worn me down'.
Be be your love
3.Sara Bareilles I have Sara's album 'Little Voice' loooong before it hit the Malaysian market...It's a great album and I play it all the time in my car.Although most of the songs is about love,the great thing about the album is that each song is very different than the other.My favorite songs from the album is Gravity,Bottle it up,One sweet love,morningside and between the lines.
Gravity
4.Bethany Joy Galeotti I love,love her character on One Tree Hill(one of my favorite tv shows & still is).She has such a beautiful voice(4 octave,I heard) and I love the song Halo and the song When the stars go blue(duet with Tyler Hilton).
Halo
When the stars go blue
5.Kate Voegele I loved her ever since she added my on Myspace,sending a message to support her music & then I watched her on the latest season of One Tree Hill & she's great!I listen to her songs on the cd that I burn while I'm driving.I love the song Wish You Were Here and It's only life(which was used for Sisterhood of the travelling pants 2 movie trailer..can't wait for that movie!!!)
Wish you were here
Other favorite female singers of mine are 1)Brandi Carlile listen to Tragedy,which I almost wanted to use for my group MTV assignment 2 semesters ago
Dedication is an indie movie that was shown in the US late last year.Ever since I watched the trailer last year,I wanted to watch it but I know that it'll take a looong time before I'll be able to.Probably because I'm a big fan of Mandy Moore..I have all of her movies on dvd,even the stinkers(like Chasing Liberty& Saved).But since it's an indie movie & not the blockbuster-kind,it didn't make it to Malaysia's big screen.I was so surprise to find the dvd last week while I was going out with my cousins.Because of exhaustion,I watched it a day after I bought it.
It was amazing.It wasn't like the normal run-of-the-mill romantic movies.It's different,it's quirky and although I have not watch Billy Crudup before,I fell in love with him in the movie.He's a complete asshole in the movie but I guess that's the charm.Because to think about it,it's better when a guy is an asshole to you up front because when he tries to be sweet to you,it just makes you melt, rather than a guy who's all sweet and mushy to you at the start and then suddenly became an asshole(been there,done that!).This indie movie to me,have one of the best romantic movie script ever!It's definitely real and not sugar coated stuff.Buy it,watch it,ponder about it & keep it.A keeper & must watch!
Updates!! Some of my favorite scenes/things from the movie is when a)Henry's one liners on the meaning of life."Life is nothing but the occasional burst of laughter rising above the interminable wall of grief" & so many more Life is....from him.
b)The many quirks about Henry.He has to sleep on the floor,on a mattress with heavy objects on top of him to make him feel safe.He never stirs things clockwise. He never drives a car because to him they're death boxes...hahaha.The funniest part was when he had to drive a car with emergency lights on, to find the rock that he gave Lucy.
c)What a big asshole Henry is,is shown when he met Lucy at the diner,he went on and on about the life of the waitress and.....You have to watch it for yourself!
d)The scene in the restroom between Lucy & Henry ,during Lucy's book signing,made me cry...The lines uttered by Henry is so funny/sweet/sad altogether.
My Fannie Flagg's book collection is completed....except for that one book of hers which is a cookbook but I don't need a cookbook on Southern American cuisine do I?hehe.I bought her latest book 'Can't wait to get to heaven' yesterday.
The thing that I love most about Fannie Flagg books is that the stories revolves around close knit families and neighborhoods,and basically they are like characters from Stars Hollow(Gilmore Girls town) put in a book.Reading her books never fail to make me feel warm and fuzzy.Like soul food.When I was a kid,I watched this made-for-tv movie titled 'Fried green tomatoes' and the story stuck to my mind until I was in university.One day,around 2 years ago,I went to this book warehouse sale and I found this book titled Fried Green Tomatoes at Whistle Stop Cafe.I thought it sounded familiar,so I bought it and read it and I realize that this book was made into that made-for-tv-movie title Fried Green Tomatoes and I have never stopped buying Fannie Flagg's book after that.
Other people got all riled up during mega sale for clothes and stuff, but I get really,really excited when it comes to book warehouse sale & I can spend hours,literally,HOURS,poring over books at warehouse sale and making sure that I don't miss any hidden gems among the piles and piles of books....I love every minute of it!!!I have been to MPH,Times,Payless Books & The Big Bookshop warehouse sale.When I went to the recent Big Bookshop warehouse sale,my family went shopping and left me there because I love taking my time to go over each and every row of books and they get bored standing around waiting for me.hehehe.There were so many great books that I was in heaven.I wanted to buy so many things!For like RM150 you can get around 7 books!That's cheap okayyyy!
My brothers only read Harry Potter or Gempak/Manga so they don't share my excitement with books.My dad read gardening and DIY books while my mum read interior design books so they are not avid readers like me either.The one thing that everybody in my family reads(except for my dad) is Archie comics.My mum was the one who reads them ever since she was little,until NOW,along with Beano comics and when we were little we started to read them too.My mum still buy Archie comics until now and all of my brothers and me still read them.
You know that scene in the 2nd season of Gilmore Girls where Rory when to the library clearance book sale and Dean had to wait hours for her to finish buying books and she got so excited because of the books that she found while Dean was all bored sitting there waiting for her?That is what I am like when it comes to books.
And in season 1 where Rory's grandpa came to visit Stars Hollow and he saw the many books on Rory's book shelf,under her bed & in her drawers?That's what my room is like.Though I have a table filled with media devices, according to the transition of time.At first,when I was in high school,my dad bought me a tv because I have 3 brothers and what I want to watch are totally different than them.And then back then,VHS player was still used,so I got that to.But with time,VCD player came out & I got that.Now,I have a DVD player too which my dad bought for me 1 1&1/2 year ago.The thing I love about my dvd player is that I can burn all of my fav tv shows on dvd from the pc and I can watch it from the comfort of my room,on my tv!It's pretty great because even my dad's dvd player & my brother's dvd player can't play dvd that was burn straight from the pc...Oookay,I sound like such a geek now...
I have no place to put my books anymore and I wonder if I can fit another bookshelf in my room.Oh,I am reading 2 books by Annie Hawes at the moment.Extra Virgin and Ripe for Picking.I love them!Annie's British and she's been living in Liguria for 15 years so the books are about her adventure and life in Liguria.Sort of like a rougher version of Frances Mayes laa.
I also bought the original DVD of 'Hanazakari No Kimitachi e' at Speedy because I want to keep it cos' it's soo funny & the guys are super kawaii & hottt!!!!Previously I watched it from the dvd from my friend& I fell head over heels for the character Nakatsu Shuichi played by Ikuta Toma(I did a post on him 2 months ago I think...hehehe).I want to buy Honey & Clover(also starring Ikuta Toma) too but I was already broke again by that time...Never mind..my birthday is in 25 days!!!!woooohoooo!!!Turning 21!!!!
