He loves his coffee with some soap.

[listening to] paradox by the trax

This particular dream doesn't involve any (mis)adventures with some certain hot male celebrities,like my first three encounters,but I'd like to share with you guys as I thought this one was extremely bizarre...or should I say,funny? By the way,this was happened on early of August.

Alrighty,it started out like this.I received an invatation for a coffee party over my friend's house.These friends of mine were none other than my real-life male classmates during my studies at the university.

Err,I can't recall how many of them actually...hmm,probably at most 10 that I can clearly remembered.These boys are not your average boys,okay.It seems like they lived together in a very dazzlingly beautiful house.

"Oh my.."




Full House


Yup,that was my reaction when I stepped into the bachelor's lair for the first time.I never knew that they lived a high-class life! The house that they lived in is almost similar to that house in the Korean drama,"Full House".The first thing that comes through my mind is those uptown boys in Gossip Girl (although I didn't watch that series religiously).I was greeted by one of them.

"Thanks for coming,Angela.You know that how rare it is for us to gather in an occasion like this."

"Oh yeah,that's so true.Nice house,by the way.You guys are surely good at making money!"

"Heheh..thanks!"

That boyish grin shows up on his face,like he always did in real life,heh.After a while,most of the guests had arrived.And being a good sport I am,I volunteered to help to serve the coffee! And so,I went to the kitchen.

Coffee mugs were arranged nicely on the dining table.The whole kitchen was filled with the aroma of the freshly brewed coffee from each of the mugs...and as I'm a highly-caffienated-coffee-lover,that moment was absolutely heavenly! After that,the friend who greeted me earlier walked in.

"Err,Angela..could you do me a favor?"

"Oh yeah,sure.How can I help you?"

"Can you put this into my coffee?"

He took something out from his right pocket,and handed it to me.

What? You drink coffee with a bar of soap? Yup,I was holding a bar of bath soap,blue in color.And nope,it's not the soap you used for your laundry.I was giving him the look..like,seriously?

"I'd always have this with my coffee..seems like I can't live without it."

"Uh,okayyyy.....I never knew that."

"Uhmm..just grated it a little.The grater is in the top drawer."

"Okay-dokie.Your coffee's coming up!"

I walked towards the kitchen drawer in an instant.

.....he drinks coffee with grated soap? This is sooo weird.I wonder how does it tasted like,though.

What I've seen last Raya.

[random] ho hum...busy on the weekends too!? Geez.
[listening to] side by travis

When I found out that this one was based from a Korean movie,I got this one kinda mixed-feelings, ya know.Well,east-to-west adaptations...it's like you're having a large bowl of your favorite ice cream in front of you, and you want to experiment it with different kinds of topping(s). For me, I'll pretty much accept anything yummy as long it doesn't contain any vanilla or strawberries. Whether your ice cream will be more tastier with the 'works',or you should let it untouched..it's up to your tastebuds.

The Uninvited wasn't the first east-to-west adaptation I've watched.In fact,the first ever,was The Grudge,based from Ju-on.I really,really,really love Ju-on because I could always relate my thoughts with these quotes (pardon me,I can't remember who said this),"see the horror as an art".Oh,if you haven't seen Ju-on or you would like to explore some eastern horror genres,I'd recommend it.As in The Grudge,I was a lil bit dissapointed because the focal point of the movie is the nanny itself (and other irrelevant characters,mind you).No,no,don't get it wrong.I love Sarah Michelle Gellar since Buffy,The Vampire Slayer and Cruel Intentions.Ugh,did I just mention that I got mixed-feelings?

As for this review of mine (and more to come,we'll see), I won't come up with 'out of 5 or 10 stars' or 'plus/minus' thingy.All of my opinions are spontaneous,so yeah.Just sit back,and enjoy yourself.Hur hur.

May contain spoilers.Don't proceed if you don't want your popcorn-munching session to be spoiled!



What is the title of the movie,Angela? The Uninvited.

Alrighty,which character(s) that I will see the most through out the movie? Pale-looking Anna (played by Emily Browning),who looks like the younger version of that singer,Sophie Ellis-Baxtor,her spunky older sister,Alex (played by Arielle Kebbel) that resembles the younger Jessica Alba.Besides that,their father's girlfriend,Rachel Summers (played by Elizabeth Banks) and her aura seems to tell me that she is some kind of a career woman that is trying to adjust her new role as a housewife.


Okay,cut the crap,Angela.What can you summed up after you've done watching it? One of the important things that I have learned..please be careful of your activities behind the door.Especially,if you're involving with some sinister,wrongdoings.If you realized that your actions will cause harm-of-any-kind to your love ones in the future..remember,it is your fault at the first place.Alrighty,alrighty..who am I blabbing on your freedom and rights.It's just that,if you can't resists it,just go ahead and do it somewhere far,far away.To a deserted island or something.Don't forget that someone might peep through the keyhole(if your room door has one,duh)..and the rest,they say,will become your nightmare.

What do you think of the movie poster,Angela? Like,seriously,I was wondering what is the connection with the movie.

So,what will you recommend for further watching,Angela? Hmm,I think I'll proceed with the original version,"The Tale of Two Sisters" (a.k.a "Changhwa, Hongryon").Maybe I'll get a different perspective.Or learn something new.

Angela's guide to new ol-skool,part 2.

[random]  *blurry*
[listening to] home by daughtry

When I first came up a list of my newly-founded favorite singers/bands that has been 'around the block',I've got several incoming hits into this bloggie,looking for Mando Diao and Anna Tsuchiya.Seems like they're getting more recognition from the audience out there,and that's good.So,I think I would come up with a part two,since for this particular post,most of the artists here are quite well-known back then.And yes,I will do some withdrawal from Billboard Top 100 or anything suchlike in the meantime.

Gackt - dang,where was I,when this song was released? Well,I have known Gackt before that,but I've never heard any of his songs.Until recently.I gotta thanked my sis,for sorta introduced me to him,and my colleague for singing this song periodically at our workplace some time ago.Before you guys go,"Owh! The song title's so Twilight-ish!"...for goodness sake,give me a break.Why does every single thing in this world has to be connected to that movie? Puhleezzz.
















Take a listen to: 'Lust For Blood','Shiroi','Mizerable','Dooms Day'

Depeche Mode - oh yes,it's me and "I-heard-of-them-before-but-I-haven't-heard-their-songs-yet" case again.Just so you know,'A Pain That I'm Used To' will be my official-anger-management-song from now on.















A Pain That Im Used to - Depeche Mode





Take a listen to: 'A Pain That I'm Used To', 'Barrel Of A Gun', 'Home', 'Only When I Lose Myself'

Angela Ammons - I'd always excited getting to know singers that share the same first name.As for the record,I only knew Angela Aki.Haha.So,if you're wondering what kind of music does Miss Ammons' into,her music is a crossover between Natalie Imbruglia/Michelle Branch.








Take a listen to: 'Always Getting Over You','Big Girl','Someday Soon','You'll Be Gone'

Brown Eyed Girls - I've once announced that I was taking a break from Korean pop music sometime last year...no? Alrighty,I will take my words back.Reasons: a) my K-pop mojo has finally return,and b) my grievance towards that certain someone,whose his ideal woman is one-fifth of a group of dolls with pussies.If you're into girl band+adequate dose of R&B+occasional rap in between = Brown Eyed Girls is a good start for you.







Take a listen to: 'L.O.V.E', 'Second', 'Far Away' ft MC Mong, 'Every Body' ft Big Tone, '1.2.3.4'

Tarkan - I've always loved fusion music,for example,the pop+middle east kind.For the time being,I've only listened to his first English album,"Come Closer" (2006) and personally,I think his voice's sexy!
















Bounce - Tarkan






Take a listen to (from the album "Come Closer"): 'Bounce', 'Shhh (I Wanna Hear Love Speak)', 'Come Closer', 'Mass Confusion'
