Stunning Movie 2011 (Part 2)

Its plot revolves around a production of Swan Lake by a prestigious New York City ballet company. As is usual with all productions of the ballet, the production requires a ballerina to play both the innocent White Swan and the sensual Black Swan. One dancer, Nina (Portman), is a perfect fit for the White Swan, while Lily (Kunis) has a personality that matches the Black Swan. When the two compete for the parts, Nina finds a dark side to herself. Directed by Darren Aronofsky ( also known for directed The Fountain which i think one of the absurd movies i've watched ) and starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. Surprisingly this is the best of Natalie Portman that i've ever watched, she caught into the character deeply and brilliantly, this movie would never get the same vibe if the role is not Portman's i guess, Natalie and Mila Kunis splendid collaboration make this movie perfect!
Natalie Portman as the character that really consumed by her own depression is breathtaking, okay.. no more words to explain, this movie is great and i praise portman and kunis's performance, i'm swept away!

Good Shites! (Part 2)

When i titled this post as Good Shites, well.. i do really mean it with this fuckin awesome band, they are called Deathface. The logos may be pure black metal, but don’t let that confuse you, no matter how abrasive, Deathface is all about the rave.
A new project from Guns ‘n’ Bombs‘ Johnny Love, Deathface first turned up with a surprisingly progressive-flavored remix of Buraka Som Sistema’s “IC19” back in 2009, but remixes for Circuit Freq and Bad Boy Bill and found him expressing a fondness for breakbeat hardcore. “The Horror” EP, released last spring on New York’s Trouble & Bass Recordings, best sums up the Deathface concept, with spine-tingling horrorcore anthems like “Murder Sound” and “We Still Kill the Old Way.” With more T&B releases coming up, we can only say: Be afraid, be very afraid. the song really make u want to make violation as much as u can! listen to their latest song Deathface - Gift Of Fury with addition a femme fatale voice in it! enjoy!

PAST

“I like men who have a future and women who have a past" (Oscar Wilde)

for 3, 5 hours i've been looking at all those photos. There are more that 900 photos in that account. So i looked at 'em one by one and started to filtering which one should stay or go. Then i started to realize something. All this photos are part of me, even though i'm having this account for just like 2 years but still i could find my pictures when i was a little girl tagged by someone else.

i was like thinking and laughing by myself remembering all those moments. Different places, different peoples, different styles and i realize how much things have changed. Everything started and then at one time it stopped, like all those people i always hung out with, some people aren't there anymore. They decided to go another pathway or i choose to, but the photos will always remind me that we were there and really having so much fun. Then some are pictured me doing something that i don't do anymore, yes.. we started doing something but at one time for some reasons something happened and we quit.
Well, whatever it is, the good or bad things that happen in the present in that different places or moments. i've seen our faces smile and happy together, so if we aren't there anymore, i will have those photos and gladly remember and thankful we've been there. Thanks for having me in your life and for stopping by in mine. I'm having such a good time together :)

"looking back you realize that a very special person passed briefly through your life and it was u. But it is not too late to find that person again" - Robert Brault

Your brain and your body is equipped with some natural alarm. Slipped from nearly death experience not gonna happen twice, well i did actually. But i'm pretty sure that's not gonna happen for the third time... so i'll cherish my life better this time!
