How often have I listened to Dewa songs, pondering what they translate best as in English…

Pupus

I just realized,
My love claps one hand
You made destroy all my heart

- by Dewa, translated by Teko
Nothing seems to be missing in translations.

—

Angin

Oh wind help me, I’m falling in love
But I don’t have the courage to say
that I desire her everyday.

Oh wind, put me in her dream
make me be a king in the scheme
and she as the queen
make her think of me always

Wind say it to her,
that I love her
Wind tell it to her,
that I need her

Oh wind, pierce my love arrow
Pierce it fast, right on her heart
before it turns cold into a stone

- by Dewa, translated by Teko

I had Foxkeh Theme installed on my Firefox since months ago. I never used it till today. The menubar is too much for me, but the running Foxkeh animation is really cute.

My annual (and sometimes only blog post =P).

I feel I’ve seen a lot less movies in the theatres in 2007 compared to 2005 and 2006. Part of the reason was cause my movie buddy moved out overseas. Another reason is cause I worked full time the whole year, and sometimes in the weekends I just feel like staying home and lazying around (watching TV shows or DVDs). I’ve seen a lot more TV shows and Dorama in 2007 than ever before…

Now, let’s round up 2007 movies that I’ve seen.

Fav (Great) Movies

• Bridge to Terabithia
• The Bourne Ultimatum
• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Good Movies

• Zodiac
• Planet Terror (funniest “horror” movie I’ve ever seen)
• Waitress
• Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
• Ocean’s Thirteen (better than 12)
• Sicko
• Ratatouille (I still don’t buy the idea of rats cooking good food, but nevertheless it has a nice story)
• Stardust (good cast and interesting side characters, not so much with the 2 main characters)
• Juno (very funny dialogs)

So-so Movies

• Meet the Robinsons
• Blades of Glory
• No Reservations
• The Simpsons Movie
• 30 Days of Night
• Bee Movie

Bad Movies

• Ghost Rider
• The Last Mimzy
• Pathfinder
• Shooter
• Next
• Spider-Man 3
• Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (better than the first, but still sucks)
• Evan Almighty (they’re trying too hard to make Evan looks like Bruce, but it’s so out of character compared to the original)
• Live Free or Die Hard (crappy plot)
• Transformers (all eye-candy, no plot)
• Balls of Fury (if you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve seen all the funny parts)

I’m still missing a lot of good movies in 2007. Current to watch list for 2007 movies: Breach, 300, Death Proof, Sunshine, Lust Caution, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

My sister introduced me to this lovely camera. Actually, she didn’t. I had to take over her camera and forced her to teach me how to use it. It’s pretty to use for an SLR newbie (me), and produces very nice images.

I got my to watch list by searching for anime in 2004-2005 with rating higher than 7 at AniDB and sorting them out from the descriptions. I still have 2-3 years of anime to catch up with. I don’t know of any good series in 2006 and 2007. Got anything else to recommend me to watch?
