J to M: I know how much you believe in me, you always have...But NY isn't my opportunity of a lifetime, B is.
J to B: Hollywood made a whole bunch of promises to me but they ate their own words in the end. Wot difference would the art community in NY make? The only one that never broke a promise was you.

Coldplay
I can't help but to declare my love for this Brit band...They are definitely the next big thing on the world music scene. Listening to Chris' soulful and poetic voice is just the way to filter away any dirt on my mind, as if life has become peaceful again. Seriously. Whilst they can rock it up as well.
Recommending a few tracks from X&Y - Speed of Sound, The Hardest Thing (I lurveeee this), The Message, Fix You and Talk.

One of my most wanted dreams would be to go to her concert. I don't think I'll ever have another favourite singer that I've loved so much. Listening to her has been a part of my life. I channel my emotion through her music. Just love her, just as she is.
Awwwww...How picturesque is this?
Hmmmmm, I am imagining myself being hugged by the warm sea water; freshened by the moist breeze when I sunbathe, kissed by the rays from the sun while sipping the cooling and sweet coconut juice...and my love, just lying next to me. What more could I ask for in this life?

GOB's Opening on December 1 2005
Here are some sneak previews of the upcoming blockbuster movie at the end of the year - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I simply can't wait and can't help screaming everytime I wacth the trailer and production pictures.
She's one of the new characters that I look forward to meet - The Beetle! Only the Potter fans know wot I am talking 'bout. Bitchy and digging as hard as ever - she'll make you hate her with all the biased news that her quill can come up with. 
Look at Hermione at the Yule Ball. Wot a pretty young lady she is.
And the boys all dressed up for the ball too.
And of course - this'd be the Globet of Fire.

What's going on?
What is going on in the world?
Bombing after bombing. Threat after threat. Death after death. Killing after killing. And the latest wave of shock just hit all the pathetic earthlings - wrong person killed. Quite naturally, the UK police force has been blamed for the careless act and accounts are demanded. Let me tell you, this is a pretty hard shit to take on Tony.
I am really sorry for the victim, Jean Charles de Menezes. Quoting from CNN, "He challenged police and refused to obey orders, before he was shot and killed in front of horrified commuters Friday morning". The officer who shot him should be investigated and presented to the public the verdict.
However, we must not forget - was anyone from 911 and the latest 3-buses-1-train bombing RIGHTFULLY killed? And those people who live in Middle East - who are being killed as we speak - does anyone of them deserve to be killed? It seems to me, that we require a good guy to be perfect and we punish him/her severely when s/he makes a mistake; as for the bad guy, it's either we haven't been able to get hold of him/her, or just simply because s/he is namely the bad guy.
Prejudices. Discrimination. Our minds let these 2 evils take the better of us. We are worse than animals. Actually it's unfair to say that - it's indeed the inability of everyone to see the truth and hence miss the bigger picture. Our hearts are blinded, clouded. The inner eye hasn't been able to See.
In the wake of these dreadful events, hatred against a certain community has worsened. They are threathened and looked down upon everywhere in the world. This is even the case in the supposedly more accepting and understanding European countries like France and Holland. It's quite understandble because this very war, has been back-boned by a prominent and strong religious background.
I am just wondering - if the reason behind the war was based on the teaching of a supposedly meant-to-be-good religion, shouldn't there be someone of the same religion who believes or practises the still-on-the-right-path teaching? Why hasn't someone from the community strongly outed and stopped the ugly demented foul idea that is fueling the holy war? Unless they too think that the war is justified, honourable and god-likable.
Who am I kidding? I am just one tiny weenie bit on the small Earth. Lives of other form could be very well laughing their asses (assuming they have one) off if they saw us fighting the war to self-extermination. Ending with a rather silly note, what I have expressed here may just earn me an invitation to the beyond, where those who have gone there shall never be spectated again.

The remaining ones
I am sending my bestest regards to those who remain - Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Remus, Minerva, Tonks, Arthur, Molly, RAB, Neville, Luna, Ginny, George, Fred, Flitwick, Sprout, Sybill, Snape, Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, Voldemort etc...
Of all the unforgivable curses, Cruciatus Curse (Crucio), Imperius Curse (Imperio) and Killing Curse (Avada Kedavra), there is another one which even Lord Voldemort fears. This curse has caused the death of my 2 favourite characters, Sirius and Dumbledore.
This curse, is none other than the curse by J.K. Rowling's wand (her pen)!!! Anyone she wishes dead will be dead and anyone she wishes alive will stay alive. Albeit I can assure you that all the remaining characters will have to suffer some pokes and scratches by Rowling's wand before their final destinies unfold.
Perhaps a good piece of advice you guys could follow would be to purchase a few shielding apparels from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes! Or join the DA club to practise more defensive skills. Anyway, let me tell you a self-invented shielding charm - silvadeflecto - it'll not only shield you from curses, but also deflect them like a mirror! Keep practising!

Mr Perfect (or Ms Perfect, wotever suits you)
He's gorgeous, great in bed, has a good career, and you're in love. The only downside: he can never lose an argument.
If that describes your Mr Right look out. A new study says its best to steer clear of people who show signs of being hypercompetitive. If not, you may be headed for rocky-road relationships that are full of conflict and emotional pain.
"People should be alert for signs that the potential partner has qualities that portend a relationship filled with conflict and unhappiness," lead study author Dr. Richard M. Ryckman of the University of Maine in Orono says.
"If the person needs to be right about everything, needs constant reassurance, shows little understanding and appreciation of your needs, and continually tries to regulate your behavior, these would all be signs that he or she is hypercompetitive and not a particularly good candidate for a partner," he added.
Ryckman and his colleagues investigated the romantic relationships of hypercompetitive individuals in a study of 240 heterosexual university students. Nearly two thirds of the students were in serious dating relationships or were married, while the remaining individuals were in somewhat serious relationships or just casually dating.
In general, students with high levels of competitiveness--who more strongly agreed with statements such as "It's a dog-eat-dog world" and "If you don't get the better of others, they will surely get the better of you"--reported experiencing more difficulty in their relationships, the investigators report in a recent issue of the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology.
For example, these students said they were less able to honestly communicate with their partner, admitted to inflicting greater pain on their partner, seemed to have stronger needs to control their partners and reported higher levels of possessiveness, jealousy and mistrust of their partners than did their peers.
They also reported more conflict in their relationships than did the less competitive students, and they said they were less able to empathize with their partner, study findings indicate.
These highly competitive students did not, however, report less commitment to their partner or less satisfaction with their relationship, the researchers note.
Still, prospective lovers should be aware that the signs of hypercompetitiveness in their would-be partners may not be something that the person can easily rid him or herself of. According to Ryckman, such people may even need professional help.
"A hypercompetitive attitude can't be wished away, by promising to be better and to be more sensitive to others' needs," he said. "It is a deeply-rooted attitude that rests on a foundation of feelings of insecurity and powerlessness."
Thus, he added, "it seems clear that such people could benefit from counseling, where they can begin to see the origins of their difficulties, take responsibility for themselves, and start to work on behaving in a more caring and loving way toward others."
