on Heroes

"Save the cheerleader, Save the world."

The new season of Heroes had begun. Season 3 had just started this October. Yep I'm late. Haha. Sorry I was too occupied fixing up my life, which by the way has no improvement still. :)

And I'm just so excited...I actually don't have anything to say since I've just watched the webisode...so I haven't seen much yet.

I'll just give out the link for now and come back later for the review.

Here are the two links :

http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/internet/heroes/
http://www.fubox.org/heroes

I recommend the first link though because the second has some videos that doesn't work.

So yeah..I'll write about this again. I'm just really excited right now. So ja ne! I'm gonna watch now! Weeeh!!!! :)

on our home

For the nth time our house is under renovation AGAIN!

It's been 3 months or so since the renovation has started and so I took some pictures for some improvement, yes an improvement, compared with the previous renovations where the outcome is always but a disaster. Seriously.

And I really liked how the stairs turned out, although I realized a semi-spiral stair is outrageously tiresome to deal with everyday.



Aside from my satisfaction with the stairs, I really like how my room is now, with the addition of a window that can open wide which leads to the very big balcony, my new bed which I like, and my new air con which I love! (oh screw CO2 emission. Ofcourse I'm kidding.). Just one problem. It's pink. Yeah. Pink. Crap. Okay..so here's a pic of my room... boring as it may look now...but wait till i get my creative juices running..for some new sheets and curtains to counteract the PINK walls....and closet.

And *ehem* for the newest addition to the Hernandez's furnitures.. I present to you our new sofa...that would make you go "ooooh.." haha. It has a very hmmm... classical and ancient feeling actually (for the first time I've actually liked my mom's taste..not that I want this for my home, excuse me;p). Just don't ask the price. It hurts to know.

I kind of feel very Cleopatra-ic here u know. :) teehee~

I'm blogging about my house. I'm in need of help. Seriously. I'm Seriously Bored! T.T

on this year

November is just around the corner. The year is almost up.
It's funny to think that even if I had done what I have always wanted in my life this year, plus the fact that i finished college, it's as if my whole year was the idlest year I ever had. True I've accomplished things for myself, started new chapters in my life, and even ended up some things, it's as if I've done nothing to advance forward. But I think having to get over all my unfinished businesses is quite an achievement already, but I wish I had done something more.
This year, people around me expected me to do much more things, I guess that's one reason why I feel I didn't do anything to advance forward. But I needed time for myself. I needed to know what's really for me. I needed to know where I'm headed... I had to fix myself up before deciding my fate. Fate is a Choice after all.
This year has been full of thoughts, just thoughts. And I guess that ain't so bad, at least I got to think what I really want, even if it cost me a year. At least that's enough for now right?

on a song

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world

Can you help me
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
You're on the other side of the world to me

on Twilight

I don't understand the rage about twilight saga, and even it's comparison to HP. Seriously, if these two were on the same generation, i doubt if twilight would have been this big. I could see that the plot of the story is quite good, as they say, this is so far the biggest vampire story since Anne Rice, but even with that I don't think the story was executed in an attention-grabbing way. The way the characters was molded, however, is quite exceptional, which is I think one of the reasons why a lot of fanatics are hooked up. Because Edward is so devastatingly perfect, and Bella.. is simple but mysterious in a way, and everyone is having this little fairytale of this story because everyone wishes to be a Bella, in a way and meet an Edward, in a way.
Honestly, speaking, I didn't like HP that much not until the 3rd book....okay...the 5th. But it has somehow caught my interest that made me looked forward every year to read the next book and watch the next film. But HP books are way better than the movies...Anyway, I'm talking about twilight, THE BOOK, and on my own thoughts, I don't think it has enough attitude in terms of the execution to actually stand on it's own, all I'm saying is that I don't think it'd be much of a rage without the movie.. well...the movie and the book pretty much depends on each other.

Oh well..that's just a thought.

So as Bella have said... "Bite me."

--------------------

I would so love it to be bitten by someone like Edward...won't anyone agree? hehe ;)

on whatevers

I've missed you.

----------------------------------------------------------

Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited
'Cause we're reunited, hey, hey

on gal pals

Girls could the bitches bitch that could be the end of you, but they're the safest zone to be yourself. Never the neutral, always the extreme. Will fight for you or ignore you like hell. The epitome of contradictions, the symbol of constant change. A 'yes' or 'no' doesn't necessarily means a yes and no. Will drive you crazy but will go crazy over love. Loves food and will always love sweets, for their size their appetite's a shock. Gossip is an art and never a crime. Crying will never be a sign of weakness, we shout and whine no matter where, no matter what, especially when we're right...and Girls are ALWAYS right no matter what the circumstances are. But knows how to say sorry and really MEAN it. They do hate period, period. We dress up and wear stilettos, just because we love ourself, being pretty is always for us and only ourselves. But compliments is what we'll always love. And sleepovers...? the classic..the one we'll never grow old of.

See...it's not that complicated at all.

Girls are the best.

It's fun. Definitely.

That's why we love each other..

...

Can you imagine a world without men? No crime and lots of happy fat women.

on being jolly

It's hard to be oh-so-jolly when there's something that really bothers me...or haunts me. I mean, sure there are lots of things to be jolly about. But this thing, it creeps me so deep that it clouds every surface of the jolly-me, and it's so effing powerful it sucks up all my positive energy that I don't have any choice but to give up!

Ugh! It just sucks you know, All my life I had everything in my hands. I could change the course of things in just one mind set. I could... and there are lots of things and opportunities that I have wasted because I was so confident that I could turn around anytime and change things if I want to. I never thought it could backfire at me just like that.

What Gerlie wants, Gerlie gets. I'm not a selfish biatch nor a spoiled brat mind you. It's true, I always know how to get my way on things. But I am aware that there are things that are not for me, and so I would rather not WANT them even if I really want them (urgh.. get the idea?...). I know when to give up and when to fight for things. I know my limitations to say the least.
But lucky me..mostly in my life, I never have to give up that much. And wooh! ain't that fun? I guess...

But then I realize that when things get out of hand and something comes my way that is beyond my control, it hits me right in my face that things were never in my control and will never be. Maybe life favored me earlier in life but that doesn't mean that I am in control. There are things that are just waaay out of my reach. Even if it's something I wanted all my life, even if I'm ready to give up everything just for that one...moment...one chance. And I thought I could always find my way through things.

It's really not that hard for me to give things up. Especially when I know it's not meant for me. I'll survive. But this one is a bit of a tough one. Maybe there are things that aren't really meant to happen, one just have to raise the white flag and go to a retreat. But I have already raised mine... why do you still choose to stomp out my shelter?

on scarfs

I'm having nightmares just because I didn't buy one effing scarf!!!! o.o

Seriously, I'd die for this.



I'm so willing to give anything to anyone who'd be so deary to give me this. Urgh!!!!

I should have bought it!!! darn!!!! Take me back to Singapore!!!!!!

on simple thoughts

Have you ever seen the world differently in someone else's eyes?

I have. And I wish i hadn't. I wish those were all lies...

Because it's so hard to believe in something that's not there anymore.

It's just so unbearable..

on Choices

"There's nothing to wear..!". An almost-everyday dilemma of girls rummaging through their closet. Nothing to wear. A Nightmare for so many. Considering that almost every week shopping will never be out of every girl's errand. Seriously, i find it quite amusing, rather than disturbing, that finding what to wear on a closet that is almost a size of a dress shoppe is so difficult.
The more clothes there is, the harder it is to choose.

Much more in life actually, the more choices that lays before you, the more difficult it is to decide. Especially the choices that offers no return no exchange policies.

I could say that I am in that phase of life where I could be anything that i want to become. ANYTHING. And that bring thrills to my spine. Whoah! seriously? Anything?? I could be a fashion designer, or an artist, a painter! or maybe an interior designer, how about a scientist?? a doctor! or be an environmentalist! I could even be a marine biologist!

But I ask... which one is really for me? which one would really make me happy? Everything I say!! hah! But no one can have everything. I can only choose what's best, for me and for everyone. \At least for now. I should choose what matters most. The one where everyone will benefit the most. The one which is for the greater good, as they say.

This is the time where i can be anything i want, but this isn't the time to experiment which one i should choose. Whatever I choose now, is what i should stick with till the end.

Much like with clothes, right? You can't wear everything at once no matter how much you like them all, unless you want to look like a freak on the loose. ;p

So choose carefully, choose wisely, one at a time. Choose what will make you happy.

And now, I've made my CHOICE. And I'm sticking with it. I crossed out all my back up plans. No more what ifs for me. I'm gonna go with this no matter what. No matter how long it takes. I'm gonna make them proud. I'm gonna save lives.

Yes, I'd be a real life superhero. ;)

on Super Gerl

Ah yes. This post is a little bit on the wrong date. It should have been my first post.. But what the heck..i kind of lack some juicy idea that day.. anyhoo.. Why super gerl? I guess after a few months… of being away from everything that reminds me of such awful things.. I realized it’s not so hard to put my life back on track after it has been stomped on, trashed and messed up.

A few months ago, I didn’t know where to start my life again. I thought I already had everything planned out.. but then something happened, which I should have already known. Well I knew it was coming.. I was just too blinded and too stupid. It’s just hard to go on the plan when the reason why I’m doing it is not there anymore.

Im back and giving my best shot once again. This time I’ll stick with my plan no matter what. Because im doing this for the people who will never leave. At least I know. But for most part... im doing this for myself. Simply because I deserve this.

Im not giving in..im starting out^^

on Twilight (the book)

Twilight. The new Harry Potter the say? It wouldn't be fair to compare two novels with such different plots. I guess the only connection between these two is Cedric Gregory ( Rob Pattinson). But maybe it's now time to have a new fad for the books and movie fanatics out there. So here comes twilight. I've read the first book and i must say it did not caught my interest right away as much as other books had. To say the least, their story is not at all different among other stories, except that Edward Cullen (Rob Pattinson) is a vampire.. and a good vampire...sort of. The lead character, Isabella Swan (Kristen Stewart), isn't that unusual either.

Twilight is about a simple girl that fell inlove with an extraordinary, mysterious and gorgeous guy. Simple. Nothing new. I didn't really like the lack of intensity in Bella's approach to all the whole mysteries that unfold in front of her, for me..the first part of the story unfolds too fast and lack the right emotions.But there's something about twilight that would get you hooked up. Perhaps the humor, or maybe Bella's lack of emotions could also be an asset in the story. Im not really sure except for me, the story isn't that predictable (which is a plus)! Dissecting the story..it isn't that interesting..BUT looking at it as a whole.. it's definitely more than good;)

There would be parts that you can't put the book down and then there are parts that are just okay. But then again.. it's just like any other book..right?

Anyway.. nuff about the book. I saw the trailer on yt... and my interest on the story shoot up a hundred percent more. ;p Usually i prefer books than movies, but seeing the trailer, it changed my mind. I can't wait till i see it! *__*



Hooray for Edward err...Cedric...i mean Robert^^ unlike before he only plays as supporting character for Radcliffe, he's now the lead! nice one ^^

thoughts on inspiration

I need an inspiration. Whatever kind of inspiration.. or whoever for that matter. Okay, so it may not be a person... it could be anything, someone else's story, a music, an art..anything really. Anything that would just make me feel something.

What made me feel this way? Being single? No, i dont think so. I dont even think that i was once owned. I was loved, perhaps even wanted. But never owned. Does being alone makes me feel indifferent about everything now? No.

Cutting ties with someone, or with anything, a habit for example... when something ends... the question about how things will be after the separation is what rattles my mind, it's what messes up my feelings.

I need an inspiration. I want something to last. I dont want to come and go into someone's life.. i dont want to just let someone in and out of my life. I want something that'll last. I really dont care how long I should wait. Im not even in a hurry as well. If next time would be "forever".. i dont mind if it'll take a century. I'd have it no other way.

So for now...

I need an inspiration.. just to get me through each day until that "next time".
