Tilt-Shift Videos
I've been wanting to post some great tilt-shift video for quite a while now. but can't seem to find a great collective website that actually put it up there. Well most of great quality videos are posted on Vimeo. Not just the tilt-shift video ok, other creative videos, shorts, 2D/3D animations, music videos, or just plain awesome cinematography. In the case of creative content it is much better than YouTube. For one it can project better result in both SD and HD. Second there are less junks there compare to YouTube.
Enough about Vimeo and lets carry on to the main topic. Now, the Wiki's explanation about Tilt-Shift is this;
"Tilt-shift photography" refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital postprocessing; the name may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.
To me, in the laymen's term is a photography technique that uses a special lens that would make the result to look like miniature models. Your subjects would actually, literally look like man made miniatures but they are actually real buildings, people, cars, ships or what have you.
The first time I knew about this was at work when my colleagues were actually talking about it and looking at videos on the net and looking at the lenses. I wanted to see what's going on but I was too busy with my work, then a few days later I went with my friends to see some mummy exhibition at the National Museum of Singapore and there were other exhibitions as well there (duh, of course). Part of those is, I believe it was photography contest about some theme about Singapore National Day. Then there they were, tilt-shift photos.
One photo I remember the most was the F1 race with a wide angle shot and the F1 car at the turning corner. I believe it was this one
Go to Boston.com for more of these F1 photos, awesome ones too. But this is the 2008 ones.
Well, as you can see it does look like a miniature toy right? It's just an eye illusion thing. Depth of Field, distances, angle manipulation, bla bla bla. What ever it is it looks freaking cool I would say. It's like when you can achieve this effects by yourself, you would feel that you have the world on the palm of your hand doesn't it?
I found a site that actually collects videos from Vimeo of, may be, the best tilt-shift effects time lapse. So they took the photos and put it in an editing software, put them together and become a video. I did read some where that you can actually achieve the same effect using a normal footage and treat it at post, apply some filters and blur here and there. But I would say nothing beats the real thing doesn't it?
So here they are from Photoble.com, 10 Astonishing Tilt-Shift Videos. Oh yea they always have great music accompanying the videos :-)

The Ant and The Fly
Luke is a worker ant that has a job of getting food outside the ant nest everyday. Every ant has to come back with at least a bite of food for the colony and for them. Luke is single and he wants and need a companion for his soul. It seems that no ant in the colony would ever recognize him at all. He is very quite and unpopular with the other fellow workers. The only friend he has is Boris, tall, handsome, hard working and worker of the month. He is everything Luke would want. He is popular among the girls. But every time Luke wants to get to know them, it seems that the girls’ only interest is Boris. Luke would get his company only during lunch time or between breaks. The topic that they would talk about is only about Boris and girls.
Some day Luke is out side looking for food. He climbs up this tall looking pole that looks like a wood-looking kind. He could smells the great aroma of different kind of food in the atmosphere and stream would come around him as if a cloud has passes by his face. He sprints as fast as he could to the smell source then he sees a massive object in front of him. It looks circular and the edge of the object slants outward from the bottom to top, as if it is a cliff that has a shine and very smooth surface. He climbs up the object and he sees a very huge pool of this thick and slimy liquid with various objects inside of it. After he stares at it for a while, he takes a sip of that liquid and it taste wonderful and very refreshing. But then he hears this buzzing sound from his back and something lands beside him. It was a fly, a lady fly with very delicate pair of wings and wonderful red shiny collections of eyes but she has a leg missing. Emma, the fly, stuck out her tongue and straight away slurping the soup away. She realizes that she has company besides her. They look at each other for a while and smiles. A big bang suddenly appears, as if it is a gigantic earthquake. It is the humans putting down the plates on the table. Emma falls into the pool of thick liquid and she is stuck, she couldn’t get out. Luke reaches for her and took her out of the liquid before she drowns to death. He quickly grabs her and drags her out of that tall place to the ground. He takes her to the nearest water fountain he knows and washes her off that thick and delicious liquid. They get to know each other well after. They play around in Luke’s favorite places and Emma takes him airborne. They do fun stuff together. It is as if they are interested and meant to be together.
Day by day passes, Luke goes out like his usual day to find food and see Emma. This time when he gets out of his nest he smells something. It is something terrible and suffocating him a little. He sees a little bit of shower above him. There is one drop of that liquid drops in his eye and it burns him until it hurts. The alarm for the emergency goes off. Every ant goes back to the nest; they run madly as if hell breaks loose, so does Luke. While he runs he keeps on thinking what would happen to Emma. Every ant stays inside the nest for the day. The next day Luke goes out for work again and he heard someone shouting, “BIG BUFFET!!!” Every ant runs wildly to that ant. What seems to be a big feast is a big pile of dead flies. Luke goes to the site and he is terrified, petrified and horrified. His first thought that crosses his mind looking at the site is Emma. He searches the pile for her. Someone shouted again that there is a fly without a leg. He rushes to that ant and push him out of the fly. It is she, Emma, the beautiful fly with a missing leg. His tears drop one by one. His only first and true love is beside him and died. The leader of the day says to bring the whole pile into the nest and leave nothing behind. Luke is torn. He has to serve his duty as an ant but his love is his colony’s food. He has no choice but carry his love to the nest.
The End
This was my very first synopsis I ever wrote for a script. I was inspired my Antz and A Bug's Life at that time. So the story is fairly similar to the animation features. Well I was Cleaning up my hard drives and I stumble upon this. It was a synopsis for a college assignment that is later turn to be a script. Well my script is at my old hard drive that would spin anymore so it's mostly gone I think. Unless there's someone out there that can recover it. So yea, that's it. I like the idea also on how compatible two different kinds could fit like a glove. How differences between the two and imperfections are actually meant to counter one and another and make them perfect. (Well if I ever recover that script it's more elaborate than this). Well that's the idea at that time for I can remember. Oh yea one thing I remember is that when I handed this up to the lecturer, she said that I was the only one in the whole group of 40 plus or something that is actually writing something different and her first time seeing an animation script in her class when others try to do the same topic year in and year out. I felt quite cool :-)

Wanna know the best lines in Hollywood?
Well I think these are not the best of the best. But it's close enough. I think I only saw like around half of all of these movies. May be because many of them are classics. Well it's not like I detests the classic, I mean gosh one of my favourite movies are The Maltese Falcon and Rear Window (which I believe are not in this compilation). It's just, only a few of them clicks with me you know. I can't really stand watching slow phase classics, makes me sleepy. Well the point is I watch what I feel like watching or what I like only. But "REDRUM", "Royal with Cheese", "Life was like a box of chocolates", "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse", "I'll be back", "FREEEDOOOM!!!" and many more are here. So enjoy, and try to guess which movie they're from. It's a fun to watch with others, the more the merrier. :-)

It always is
He always tell a good story no matter what song it is. This is my favorite so far from their new album :-) It's always funny the way it is.
Dave Matthews Band - Funny the Way it is
Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play
Siren’s passing, fire engine red
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this
The evening comes and we’re hanging out
On the front step and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing, “why can’t we be friends?”
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody’s going hungry and someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song
The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor
You hear the laughter while the children play war
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born
Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He’ll never catch her, but he can’t stop trying
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s broken heart becomes your favorite song

Nintendo and Mario Bros.
Nintendo was the second game console that I've ever played after Atari. I played Mario Brothers for hours. Skipped my home work and all just to go to the next level. Even though my parents would give a limited amount of hours for me and my brother to play, we would like sneak, lie, manipulate or do what ever possible just to play another hour on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Well here's some stuff about Nintendo and Mario Bros. that are kind of interesting to read.
Ten Things You Didn't Know About Super Mario Bros.
Some info that you might not know, like "Shigeru Miyamoto (the creator of Mario Bros.) designed Mario wearing a hat because he found drawing hair difficult. He also drew Mario with a mustache because a mustache was easier to see than a mouth with 8-bit graphics."
This is a picture I found with interesting current statistics about the company.

Game Consoles under X-Ray
You wanna see what's underneath the game consoles look like? Well here they are. Looks kindda cool though. But then I think again what a waste of space to the NES cartridges is it? Oh yea there are other game consoles at the website. Check them out.

Games
Alright, those of you who like games, puzzles or plain simple games just to kill boredom and time here are my suggestions.
(Make sure that your computer is flash compatible. And if you don't have go here to download and install Adobe Flash Player)
The ever classic Space Invaders.
Yes, if none of you ever played this when you are a kid or at least heard of it. Shame on you. It is this game (I think) that revolutionized the gaming industry and made it all the way until even now. Yea, there's a newer version released from Xbox 360, it's called Space Invaders Extreme. You might think that it is boring but when you actually sit there and play it. Man it is addictive as hell, the Xbox one I mean. But do play the website for kicks.
Puki
Ok, this game is a shooting game. It is kindda funny coz you've got this round character or a gnome or what ever you wanna call it and you use him to shoot targets that are coming at you. I think the setting is in some kind of space ship or something. It's all white reminds me of Star Wars in the Death Star hallway. Aim of the game is just keep on shooting. Oh, the game name gives me a kick, it's a Malay and Pinoy word for 'pussy', hehehe...
Japanese IQ Test
I don't really know why is it called that, may be it's invested by the Japanese or may be it's an old Japanese game that's been told by generations. The truth is I got fed up and couldn't figure out the solution, I think I'm not that smart enough to do it. Read the instruction and start the game, do tell me if you ever figure it out :-)
Video Puzzle
It's a simple puzzle but the picture is moving. I thought it's kindda cool to post it.
Fulfillment
It's just boxing up the puzzle. Filling the gap up with squares that are provided to you with a limited given time. It's like Tetris but puzzle mode. I didn't really get far but kept on playing though.
Box Spin
I've tried playing this for like almost an hour while watching some show but still cannot finish it. But I am pretty sure that it can be done. Well you see, there are bunch of circles with two line adjacent to one another. When you click one the circle will spin and if the lines connect to the other circle the color of that circle will change. So you have to get every circle to be one color. Argh, it even frustrates me explaining it. Well you'll get what I mean when you try it.
Can't You See I'm Busy!
Yea, this is one of those games that you play at the office. It is very clever the way it is design. You will see very familiar User Interface at the games and there are quite a few of them that are very fun to play with. I think this is one of my favourite games to play with for killing time. Try to play it when your boss is around and see if he gets fooled or when your office mates are beside you, see if they get fooled as well.
Free Web Arcade
Yep, I think this is the mother of all stupid free flash games. You can basically find all kinds of arcade games from here and if you like classic games that you used to play at the arcade, then you'll love this site. Go there and explore, I still haven't explore all of them yet. There are so many of them.
Have fun, and kill that boredom and sour face!

The World Inside My Head
Been busy lately, I had a lot of things to post though. I will post them up when I have the mood. Lol, well it is my place of escape anyway. But for now I've been in the world inside my head and watched the sunrise like it's a big surprise.
Sister Hazel - World Inside My Head
On the road to safe
I kinda tripped along the way
It just seemed like a nasty hassle
The path was greener on the one less traveled
That's where I remained
People so high they think
I can't hear the whispers
I can see it falling off their face
Their trying to shoot down my plane of grace
It seems like it's already hard enough
But the paint on me is beginning to dry
And it's not what I wanted to be
The weight on me
Is Hanging on to a weary angel
So tell me what it is about me
Where did everybody go without me
So, I like to fantasize
And watch the sunrise like it's a big surprise
Life moves and I stopped to taste it
I drank it up till it left me wasted
But my rains have bled
A softer red
Oh you should see the world inside my head
You can shackle me away
And try to wrap around my dreamer
I feel better when I paint my days
With purple seas
And left out grays
Strange is just a different point of view
But the paint on me is starting to dry
And it's not what I wanted to be
The weight on me
Is holding onto a weary angel
I feel better when I paint my days
With purple seas
And left out grays
Strange is just a different point of view
But the pain on me is beginning to dry
And it's not what I want it to be
So wait on me
Wait on me
You should see

Rainy morning
Gosh, how I love rain in the morning. There's something about it. May be it's the cold weather and I have to wear a jacket to warm me up. Or it feels better to listen to a slow song at this cold. Listening to the splashing water made by the cars passes by, may be I just miss the beach, reminds me of the lovely sound of waves going back and forth.
It feels cold and uncomfortable because your clothes get wet sometimes when you are on your way to work or school. I don't know, may be I just feel like being in the uncomfortable condition. I think that the rain settles everything down. People get more cautious and pay more attention to everything but remains calm. Yea, I think I like the peacefulness of it.
So this is the song that's been on repeat through out this morning :-)
Last night I fell in love without you
I waved goodbye to that heart of mine beating solo on your lawn
Every aching wound will cauterize and bruise
In memory of what we used to call, "in love".
& only time will tell if violins will swell
In memory of what we used to call, "in love".
We used to call it : "love".
Last night I fell in love without you
The coup de grace that set me off would have made for decent fiction
Every aching wound will cauterize and bruise
In memory of what we used to call, "in love".
& only time will tell if violins will swell
In memory of what we used to call, "in love".
We used to call it :
Last night I fell in love without you
The stars at night aren't as big & bright as you make them out to be
& every aching wound will cauterize and bruise
In memory of what we used to call, "in love".
& only time will tell if violins will swell
In memory of what we used to call, "in love".
In memory of when we used to call it : "love"

Chapter 4: February Ends
It is a Sunday. The day that most people would want to spend their time outside of their comfort zone at home. Let it be watching your favourite television show on the cable, spending time with your family and talk about the week you had, let it be good or shitty as long as the response from your story either; "Oh that's good" or "Really! Oh, I'm sorry. It'll be better next week. Just Hang in there" or Laugh at what ever funny incident that occurred in the office before. Your colleague accidentally sent out porn links to the whole entire company. Your colleague got a new hair cut that looks like some loony bin character and did her own style. Hand phone missing and sent out mass email telling the entire work place to return it to its rightful owner without any press charges but deep down she wants to whack the hell of the person and in the end it was miss placed by herself in her own too-big-sized jacket pocket. What ever it is, it's time spent at home.
For some, we want to go outside. Put on ur best dress that you've been saving up the whole entire week. Comb that messy hair after the shower to look the best as you can. Put on the perfume that you only use for special occasions. The pressed pants that just came from the dobby looks sleeker than ever or others would just put on the rugged jeans they've been wearing for years and never been washed even once. All of these just to go out on the hot Sunday afternoon. It is as if you're preparing for a date. May be it's just too feel good. To walk under the scorching sun on the solid concrete pathways to be noticed by others and when they notice you, you feel good. That sensation down the spine tinkles, you feel proud. May be that's why some people are so concern about being notice, what they think, what's their criticism, their opinion, their shitty bullshit comments about what's best for you when they don't even know what's best for themselves. Fucking hell, we're living in a delusional world aren't we?
You find yourself lost. When you're just bored out of yourself, nothing excite you anymore, you don't know what to do. You wonder around blindly without aim. No purpose. You want to find that place where isolation is your best friend. Where silence is the air that you breathe. No one else cares about what shitty-shirt or fucked-up shoes you wear. You give yourself a chance to be you. To let all that emptiness fades out to the black-hole. Or, your just fucking bored and you don't want to stay at home so you let your left leg and your right to keep on moving until they're sore.
I find it weird, even for myself, to go out and just walk with out aim or destinations. But I guess that's the excitement that I'm trying to find. To give myself a chance that I might actually stumble upon something incredible. To witness an accident, to be the first to catch that rare moment, to have something that no one else has. But mostly for me, I just want to get lost where I do not know anyone and watch them. The different faces, the different background, the path they took to be where they are now. The partner they chose, the family they built, the adventures they tasted. The airport is the answer.
A group of Norwegians with their shorts, sleeveless shirts and slippers deciding where to go after they arrive. They dressed this way I guess because they can't do it in their own country or it's just too bloody hot here at the sunny-equatorial-country of Singapore.
The students with twelve of their friends and parents in a circled group sending of the future generations of the nation for Australia to further study. The thing is that their parents do not know about the parties they have every week, the sexual experiments they try to discover as their desire to explore grows larger for attraction of the opposite sex. The recreational drugs that pass around like cheap liquors and consumed like a sixteen year old just tasted beer for the first time or smoked their first fag. Parents and friends feel proud as they wave good bye to the prodigy out to the immigration counter. Little did the students know how this trip would change their life forever.
The suits walk around with their laptop bag on one shoulder and genuine leather prada limited sling bag on the other. The right hand would be busy texting the blackberry, the other is dragging small-compact-black luggage that only can fit a pair of shoes and a couple pair of more suits and a casual wear.
The Japanese tourist with their sunny-bright-tropical-coconut-palm-trees-Hawaiian-t-shirt and their straw hat. Big-huge-ass Sony camera hanging on their neck. They're proud of their products. It's like a trophy for them. The two meter square map is stretched out at the center circle of the group and trying to point out which are the best site seeing place to go to. Where's that place where you can ride that tricycle bike with the techno music pumping out as you cruise around for half an hour or so? Where's that famous big wheel that blinks at night and looks so pretty but too scared to go in because it's too high.
The surfer dudes. I don't understand these guys. Why would you want to surf at this small island. It is surrounded by other big islands, why would there be a freaking huge wave to surf on at the edge of this tiny island? May be I don't know about it. May be there's a secret place where only a few people knows. They come in with their big boards, big-backpack, three-qurater quicksilver surfing pants, sandy sandals, messy hair that's never been washed for weeks, some come with dreadlocks, and of course the beach shirts and bead-necklaces and bracelets so thick that you can't turn your wrist anymore.
Then there's the usual Filipinos, Bangladeshi, Indians, Burmese and Indonesians labor workers who just want to go back to their home countries for their own perspective reasons. They come here hundreds or thousands miles away from home to work for a mere thousand bucks a month, sometimes less. God bless them for making this country cleaner, for building the skyscraper and making the places that we call home. They always go in a group because they are bonded by their agencies. You can only go back home when you are assign to. When the work is done. When the boss is happy. When the project is finished and the client is happy with it.
Characters, the different aspects of life that walk through the check-in counters is what fascinates me the most. Is what makes me wonders; where is he going home to? who will be waiting for him at the airport? what's his girlfriend or wife looks like? what would she do when she reaches home? is that business trip just another excuse to visit his mistress here? is he or she as fucked up as I am? It's just great to imagine and let your mind run loose for once in a while, once in a blue moon. As the sun goes down on the west, the airplanes ascends to the east one by one, the lights on the sky goes dimmer and revealing the darkness of the atmosphere. But then as I looked up, one light shines above the rest. It hangs between the airport tower and the building beside it. It shines so bright I was captured, dazed and mesmerized. The moon has never been this big for months, may be almost a year. It looks so surreal. The clouds around it smeared like painted brush strokes with water paint and there was nothing else around it. A blank dark blue sky with no clouds nor a single star. A bright yellowish-orange color lit up the town as the night falls. It was 7:30, the next minute I took the ride home. February ends on Sunday with a perfect moon. I guess that's why they celebrate the month as a romantic month.

Chapter 3: Dreams
I'm scared. Scared to dream. Scared to look at the sky again. As I glance to the unknown, my favorite place in the world, I tend to get drifted away and thoughts just keep on flowing. I don't know if that place would make me happy again.
I'm lost in words. I'm lost in my place of being. I tried to escape. Run away and let it fade out by itself. But it comes back ever now and then, in my dreams, in my thoughts and in my every sight.
Sometimes one of those dreams would be trying to hit my dad in the face for some strange reason. May be it's because I still haven't forgiven him for what he did to my mum, to my family, my brothers and to me. I raised my arm swung it as far back as I could but it felt really heavy as I tried to give him a blow to the face. I could really feel my heart pumping really fast as if I was running a marathon. The adrenaline was really in my veins. But my arm swung in slow motion and as it reached to his face I had awaken, with my heart still beating thunderously. I really don't know what it means but this dream doesn't occurs once or twice. He did try to make peace. I did try to give in. Welcome him again, I'm not sure sincerely or not. But I am trying. Yet, why does it still happens?
When ever I walked around and looked at a family goes out to eat, at McD or KFC or just a simple hawker stall I would smile and think back about my childhood and never thought how happy my family and I was back then. The picture of my mum and dad would joke around at the front seats from where I was at the middle back seat have been locked in my mind. They sincerely laughed as he teased some things about her and she would pinch him on the arm and pretends that it hurts so bad, then she would apologized about it. They laughed out loud. He would say to keep it down because it might awaken all of us at the back. My brothers would be sleeping beside me but I kept my one eye half open witnessing what I thought would last forever.
I took things for granted at that time. The times we eat in or out. The questions they would ask about how's school or the movies I watched with my friends, the things that they would do for me. I would never appreciate it then, but I do now. There were times that I actually felt love, unconditional love for my parents. I can vaguely remember it. May be it was when I was really small, six or eight or ten may be, not so sure. I missed my Dad dearly when he had to go for weeks to the USA for training. Then when he came back there would be a luggage full of LEGOs and basketball cards. I felt like I was the luckiest kid in the world. My mum would cook me breakfast everyday, egg sandwich with hot milo before we go to school. Sometimes I hated it and took it with me for the road and throw it away. Then I realize it now. She actually wakes up in the morning before any of us cook some water in a big pot and pour it in a bin in the toilet and mix it with cold water so that all of us can have a bath with warm water. I think it's all of these little things that slip out of my mind when I was a kid and never realize what are the things that they wouldn't do to make me and my brothers happy.
Would I want to have a family again under one roof? Hell, I'd kill for that. But the thing is it will never be the same. I've thought of it for a very long time. I've tried to salvage it and it failed. I regret it now that I didn't try hard enough. May be it's a burden that I would have to carry for the rest of my life now. I would do anything not to see my mum broken hearted any more. I couldn't imagine the confusion my younger brothers had gone through to see our family broken up like that. I still think that they have never understood what actually happens. It did affect them in many levels. It is the biggest nightmare that every kid wouldn't want to experience. If I had the toughest time of my life, what was going through their minds must be ten times worst. And I wouldn't want that to happen ever again.
I guess it's fear that made me decide that it's not the right thing to patch things up anymore. Though it can be done but the consequences could be worst. May be it is fear that makes me to be like I am now. I face it everyday but I'm still scared, I still runaway from any problems that I face. It isn't right, it will not make it go away nor it will actually solve itself. I tried to face it however scared I am. That's why even though I'm scared to dream again but I face it everyday.

Ain't No Sunshine
This guy got soul. That's all I can say. Simple words and melody can only be top with feelings and true love for the soul. I'm pretty sure that most of you who have watched movies and TV series would have heard this song at least once but never knew who is the original singer. I didn't. So here he is.
oh this song was featured in one of my fav movie Notting Hill at one of my fav scene of all time as well. It was covered by Lighthouse Family.
Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

The days have come and gone
It was heartbroken when Blink broken up. But since then they've developed new bands. Boxcar Racer was one of them, then there was Plus 44 and Angels and Airwaves. They're all great and no doubt I love all the music that they produced. Now that they're back together, I can't wait to see them live.
This is one of the song that was born from Boxcar.
Box Car Racer - There Is
This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where i laid and told you, but you sweared you loved me more
Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off pretend its all okay
That there someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
loves a girl
Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
that There's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
This is one of the song that was born from Boxcar.
Box Car Racer - There Is
This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where i laid and told you, but you sweared you loved me more
Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off pretend its all okay
That there someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
loves a girl
Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
that There's someone out there who feels just like me
There is
Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me

That there's someone out there who feels just like me

#41
It's a long jam at the end but that's what Dave Matthews Band is all about. Jamming a good beautiful music. The Sax, Violin, the Bass, thumping Drums, melodic Guitar wonderful voice and shivering lyrics. R.I.P LeRoi Moore. You have been a great player and your sound will be missed forever.
Dave Matthews Band - #41
Come see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles oh
I'm coming slow but speeding...well
Do you wish for a dance and while I'm in the front
My play on time is won
Oh, but the difficulty is coming here...
I will go in this way
And I'll find my own way out
I won't tell you what to be
But I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now oh
Oh tell me what if they came in crushing
I used to play for all of the loneliness
that nobody notices now
I'm begging slow, I'm coming here...
oh, I'm waiting
I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads THE way
I'm COMING waltzing back
and MOVING in into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass you by
Oh and I wouldn't take anymore, THAN I
What sort of man goes by?
Well, I will bring you water
Why won't you ever be glad?
It melts into wonder
But I came in and I'm praying for you
Why won't you run in to rain and play?
And let tears splash all over you

Crash into Me
It's kindda weird that this song turns out really beautiful and can change it's meaning at some level when it was actually written about Dave watching some girl over the window and dreaming dirty things about her. Sometimes, you do can only dream.
Thank You Dave for making such beautiful song, helps me sleep easier sometimes.
Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me
You've got your ball
you've got your chain
tied to me tight tie me up again
who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you
You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
to forgive me
in my haste
When I'm holding you so girl
close to me
Oh and you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show your world to me
In a boys dream.. In a boys dream
Oh I watch you there
through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well
tied up and twisted
the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
into me
Thank You Dave for making such beautiful song, helps me sleep easier sometimes.

My life, my blood, my veins
My soul, my vessels and my pain
My bones, my head, my brain
My chest, my heart and it pains
My road, my choice, my path
My dream, my cheers and my wrath
My nightmares, my rainbow, my sky
My future, my present and my past
Mine to grab and mine to hold
Mine to see and mine to be
Mine to seek and mine to keep
My life to live and My life to sleep
(Shit, hungry. hem... argh order a take out and go home)

Dammit
I swear if I kept on doing this for the rest of the days ahead I will actually be brain dead. I need to sleep much earlier. It's 3 in the freaking morning and I've been trying to sleep since bloody 12. Gotta clear my head one of these days. Just clear it off like a white board coz it's full of scribbles right now.

Ad
I thought it was just some guy's portfolio, but it's a good ad for telling the public. :-) funny too.

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep. Stuck in reverse
I closed one eye after their album A Rush of Blood to The Head. I still think that Parachute is their best album. But this song, after listening to this song, I was awed and astound by the quality. I never thought that they would create another great songs other than Shiver or Yellow. It goes to so many degree of meanings. The build up, the lyrics, the melody. Repeatedly going over and over, which is not a bad thing. A promise, the truth, the pain, the mistakes. Simplicity. Coldplay, Thanks for sharing.
Coldplay - Fix You
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I try not to lay my head down
I avoid being driven into the milky way
What's not to like about going down?
Down to the bottom of your dream.
How could I hate what I favor the most?
I long for dreams when sun has set.
I would love to live in my fantasy
But I avoid it coz it sucks to face reality

It Ain't Over 'Till It's over
He's a genius in creating melodies. He plays all the instruments, record them and produced the songs by himself. He is Lenny Kravits. But in this video, he's like Predator with a microphone in his hand. hahaha... But he is awesome and cool name too by the way.
Lenny Kravits - It Ain't Over 'Till It's over
Here we are, still together
We are one...
So much time, wasted,
Playing games with love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering, yeahhh
If I'd always, always be in love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried

'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over (over, over)

Talk Tonight
Oasis has been loved and hated by many people. But their songs will always be within me and Live Forever. Despite all the angers between the brothers, as always until they broke up, they do create something beautiful, meaningful or just plain rock and roll. I just can't wait for Noel's solo album. I hope he makes great music such as this one.
Oasis - Talk Tonight
Sittin' on my own
Chewin' on a bone
A thousand million
Miles from home
When Something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes
Sleepin' on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance
Once again
I landed, stranded
Hardly even knew your name
I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are
All your dreams are made
Of Strawberry lemonade
And you make sure
I eat today
You take me walking
To where you played
When you were young
I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say
I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day
I wanna talk tonight
Until the mornin' light
'Bout how you saved my life
(You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life
(I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life

and We Dull
As we dance through the life that we live in, we just gaze the beauty around. We call out for help, we scream out from our cave to be noticed, "Who's there? Can any body hear me?" The trap that we set ourselves has eaten us alive.
Take a minute and walk a few steps to the side to take a glance at that branch as it blossoms cherry blooms at the tip. Let your nose inhale what's not there anymore, out of the polluted air that we make everyday, there's always a few spot where there's still pure delight lingers.
Walk through that field of grass and lay down to see the bright blue sky and imagine that you're not of this flat, solid ground. Leave the weight that burdens your shoulder just for a moment and take a deep breath as you close your eyes and everything else will follow.
It might be hard to even consider the following. We strike the plastic squares with our fingers at nine until the day dawns then socialize with our close ones until the heavy head hits the soft feathers filled pillow.
If only we take a moment and give back a smile to the sky that always been there for us then may be, just may be a little spark of enlightenment would actually appears in our heart. It could be that little smile that would make a passer by his or her day. That same simple smile could be the cause that erase a Dull day that is ours or theirs.

Always Be
Yea, another Jimmy Eat World song. I listen to this almost everyday going to my nine to six. I just close my eyes while I commute in the middle of a crowded train just to escape from reality for a mere three minutes before facing the truth.
Jimmy Eat World - Always Be
Could've been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
(Something I just know)
How you gonna know the feeling till you've lost it
I've been losing plenty since
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
Maybe something else I'm missing
Something good and your the reason
It's a dream but there's a real world waiting
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach

Dizzy
This has got to be one of my favorite band of all time. It's kindda funny how I discovered them. I mean I knew their most hit songs like The Middle, Sweetness and A Praise Chorus. But I never knew their songs after that album Bleed American. Then I was surfing around MySpace looking through my friend's friends. There was this girl who has one of those playlist of songs in her site then I saw Jimmy Eat World. So I just click play, Chase This Light was on, ZOOM! (you know, one of those camera effect where the camera zooms in but the background goes further away) I got hooked.
So this band is like kind of underrated, not many people know the songs from them but I don't know if it's just me or the songs just connect to me. May be the marketing isn't that big from their label and that's why the exposure isn't that much. Any how, this is one of their songs.
Jimmy Eat World - Dizzy
You close your eyes and kiss your hand then you blow it.
But it isn't meant for me, and I notice
If the choice was ours alone,
Then why'd we both choose letting go?
Does it end like this?
Time never had a chance to heal your heart
Just a number always counting down to a new start
If you always knew the truth
Then the world would spin around you
Are you dizzy yet?
Respectfully, so honestly I'm calling out
Do you hear the conversation we talk about?
Back away to the safety of a quiet house
If there's half a chance in this moment
When your eyes meet mine, we show it off.
All talk and not a lot to think, we were living dreams
And shame never crept close to our naked feet
If there's something left to lose,
Then don't let me wear out my shoes
I'm still walking.
I tried, but it rang and rang, I called all night
On a payphone, remember those from another life?
If everything I meant to you,
You can lick and seal then fold in two
Then I've been so blind.
Oh, oh take it all back, take the first, the last and only.
Oh, oh take it all back, take it all back,
Everything you showed me.
Oh, oh this must be how it feels when the feeling goes
I told you as I hovered, I never felt this way
You said I have the shot that stops my clock
Baby it's OK
You said you'd never have regrets
Jesus, is there someone yet
Who got their wish; did you get yours, babe?

Interstate Love Song
Interstate Love Song
This gotta be one of the best song to play on the guitar for me. The melody, the lyrics, the addiction of the song is just, hem...
waiting on a Sunday afternoon
for what I read between the lines,
your lies.
feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh or does it cry?
reply?
leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me.
breathing is the hardest thing
to do. with all I've said and
all that's dead for you,
you lied - good bye
leavin' on a southern train

I live my life by the second
I look far as I count the second
By the time that minute ends
The world seems to come to the end
I memorize every moment
I try to preserve every element
Give me the chance to remember
And that will be the time that I am a lover
The roses seems to bloom in the summer
But the lilies die in the winter
The sun will always shine now and forever
But I'll be here for the worse and the better
I look far as I count the second
By the time that minute ends
The world seems to come to the end
I memorize every moment
I try to preserve every element
Give me the chance to remember
And that will be the time that I am a lover
The roses seems to bloom in the summer
But the lilies die in the winter
The sun will always shine now and forever
But I'll be here for the worse and the better

Green Day
I have been a fan of Green Day ever since I discovered punk rock music in 1997. Nimrod was the first punk rock album I've ever bought. I felt free after listening to that album. I've discovered something that changed my life forever. The anger, love, lust and forgiving story are all combined into that one powerful CD.
Then I went on to dig their old stuff such as 39/Smooth, Kerplunk, Dookie and Insomniac. It was the times that I was rebellious. It was the reason that I wanted to learn to play the guitar. To be as cool as Bllie and have a great band mates like Mike and Tre. I was the only guy that listen to their songs extensively while others were listening to Korn and Limp Bizkit (though I was listening to them too) but I was the only one that knows all the lyrics to all of Green Day songs. Their first two albums spoke to me as if telling me, "Hey man, don't worry everything is gonna be fine. You're not the only one in the world that is going through this." It was the times of my high school lovely dovey days about girls and stuff. Some songs still connects to me even until now.
I was in a band and we would play When I Come Around lots of times in the studio. They were the reason we made a band at the first place. I would watch many of their concerts through youtube and buy bootleg CDs and cassettes to hear them live and feel the energy. I would strap on my Strat guitar in my room put on the head phones play Basket Case and rock my socks out jamming to their tunes and imagining I was jamming with them in front of tens of thousands of screaming crowd.
Tonight was a blast, a dream come true. for more than 12 to 13 years of my life listening to their songs I finally got a chance to see them live. It was exhausting, exciting, entertaining, emotional, sentimental, powerful and enlightening experience for me. It's like I feel as if my life has been fulfilled. I have been to dozens of concerts and gigs for more than 14 years of my life and this is by far the best of them all. They were strong, funny and mind blowing. May be it's just me. But hell, I saw the crown at my back, everyone was getting their ass up and rocking their socks off as well.
I want to thank you Green Day for giving me The Best Time of my music life. There's nothing that could ever change that. I will still listen to your songs even when I turn grey and wrinkled and pass along your songs to the next generation. Again thank you for this and for making the music that has been there for me. Thank You.

Butterfly, Sea and Rain
At this forsaken night I ponder
A whiskey on one hand and a cigarette on the other
If I would ever see that butterfly again
The one that flaps its wings in the rain
A knock on the door is what I'm waiting for
I just wish it is the open sea when I turn the knob
The deep blue water is always to die for
But it is always the beach that we receive
If only the ink would dry out in the winter
It will go beyond believe to its highland
Just like they say, there's a rainbow after the rain
And I would say "I've never seen the end"
A whiskey on one hand and a cigarette on the other
If I would ever see that butterfly again
The one that flaps its wings in the rain
A knock on the door is what I'm waiting for
I just wish it is the open sea when I turn the knob
The deep blue water is always to die for
But it is always the beach that we receive
If only the ink would dry out in the winter
It will go beyond believe to its highland
Just like they say, there's a rainbow after the rain
And I would say "I've never seen the end"

Parachute
The power of internet is great. Without it I wouldn't have discovered great bands with wonderful music that they produce, such as this one.
I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around,
But she takes it all for me.
And I lost my faith, in my darkest days,
But she makes me want to believe.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love, and she is all I need.
She's all I need.
Well I had my ways, they were all in vain,
But she waited patiently.
It was all the same, all my pride and shame,
And she put me on my feet.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
She is love, and she is all I need.
And when that world slows down, dear.
And when those stars burn out, here.
Oh she'll be there, yes she'll be there,
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love, love.
They call her love, love, love, love. love.
She is love, and she is all I need,
She is love, and she is all I need,
She is love, and she is all I need.
I've been beaten down, I've been kicked around,

Worry Rock
Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road

If It Makes You HAppy
I have to admit that I miss all of her classic tunes. and this is one of them. Sheryl Crow Please make more of these kindda tunes.
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again
Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad
I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up
If it makes you happy

If it makes you happy

How to say goodbye
I fall asleep listening to this song every night ever since after watching Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
Paul Tiernan - How to say goodbye
Living isn't quite the same
You said to me, it's runnin' away.
If you're scared or tired of what you're scared of
Why should you stay
You love to say goodbye
And always counted all the time
'til he was free
to get up and leave
to learn how to breathe
again...
Slippin' out to have a cigarette
with someone else that he'd never met
Ask her if by the way would you like to
run away and try to forget
Just not to stay
To leave without saying why
To get up and go
To catch the last train
To get in some car and drive out again
To never come back this way
Left to say:
goodbye
so long
farewell
ovwar
goodbye
so long
farewell
ovwuar

The Background
Everything is quiet, Since you're not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background
I do the things we did before
I walk Haight Street to the store
And they say where's that crazy girl
You don't get drunk on red wine, and fight no more
I don't see you anymore
Since the hospital
The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimmin' into view
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background
I'm in the background
Words they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
'Ey, I would never lie to you, No
I would never lie to you, No
I felt you long after we were through
We were through
The plans I make still have you in them
'Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do,
The words we use so lightly, I only feel for you
I only know because I carry you around
In the background.
'Cause I felt you long after we were through
When you come swimmin' into view
(When you come swimmin' into view)
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do
(You come swimmin' into view)
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you
(You come swimmin' into view)
I only know because I'm way, I'm way
In the background
I'm in the background
What's at the end?
First you wake up and drag yourself up.
Get a cup of coffee on one hand and a cigarette on the other.
Forget the man above you, so you take the train for your own reason to leave.
You walk with the dead, packed like the popcorn you had last night.
You wish you would save yourself from the hole that's been digging itself.
You wish that the day would rain to wash it all away.
So we put down our name tag and drive away.
So we drink down our sorrows and we laughed at each other to feel Better.

For this
For this I will spill all of the poison that unblooms the world of fictional characters with rainbows arch between the rich and the poor.
What is real and not is not for me to judge.
Taste that air, water, wine and steak.
I might be your last delicious meal, for what you thought you can have it all.
This dirt, this ink, this white mess is like the corrupt world that you and I create.
It deceives you from what you think it is, from what you think what is truth.
We are born, raised, learned from the best then you spit at them, that that cert (you might think you deserve it), take that job that you hate, get that paycheck and throw them to the booze that drowns in your pool of imagination.
We seek liVe, we seek loVe but do we seek death for what we actually concern and fear the most?
It's blasphemy for suicide for whom who disrespect the beauty of life on this discarded soil ground that trembles and shakes constantly, endlessly searching for peace.
It is angry yet it forgives. Bitter it may seem to witness its wrath that swallowed a percentage of us yearly. Look at what we had done globally.
It's like us, we fear, we anger, we love, we lust, we scream, we cry, we crave, we give and we take.
It is us that create what we are, we slave ourselves to the music, art, religion and more to consume the time as it passes by the second to the next.
Take, pick, look or just swallow that pill of happiness and let it take you to a new height.
You might think the craze this world creates would settle down and drifts away as it get washed down when you flush that piss to the rabbit hole.
But I tell you this, what ever you face and challenge, nothing will stand in your way if you believe it and with fire that burns from the phoenix in your heart and someone you love by your side.

Food In Different Perspective
Wambie
Ever seen ice carving shape of a swan? At some wedding or huge B'Day party may be. But this is something different where you see everyday food that we normally consume and made it into some ironic sculpture I would say. Do check it out.

Watch a movie streaming?
I'm the kind of download the movie kindda guy and good quality one. I would like to have the file in my computer and store it for future viewing or share it to others. I mean we all carry thumb drives nowadays. and most of them are 2GB, 4GB or 8GB or even 16GB. So I like to share. Call me a pirate. Yes I am a pirate. But aren't we all in a way?
I still go to the movies. I go to cinema like three to four times a month. So I'm still contributing to the industry (Hollywood, mostly). I download the movies that I couldn't get to watch in cinema or not available in this country or I wanna watch it again in an easy way.
Hell, DVD cost more than watching movie in cinema. It's like the cost of my broadband bill. I swear if it isn't because of the money, i would buy all of those DVDs already. Man if only I earn like 10,000 bucks a month... whoa... I would have my own library of DVD collections.
Any way, going on to the main topic. For those of you who would like to watch a movie streaming with good quality, please go to this website StageVu. Please don't be fool by the main page. Go search the latest movie that you want to watch out there (well may be give it like one or two weeks after the box office release) at the search box. Example type in Transformer, then look for the DVD release or DivX quality.
If you don't know what DivX is, it's a codec like MOV or AVI or WMV. And also a player with great quality but small size. Wiki it if you want to know more. If you want to download the web player its on the right side of the Stagevu website or download the player itself for free at the DivX website I gave.
Now for more websites to watch free movies with various genre, faster streaming with may be lower picture quality or better or the same, whatever. Some people do not mind watching movies that are recorded at the cinema with a handy cam. Hei, different people have different taste right? So the website to go is
Easy Cheezy: Watch Free Movies – Free Movie Sites A to Z
Now these links in the site will lead you to the best ones out there. Some may be dead or outdated some still alive. But don't complain, you're watching Movies for FREE. Not all of them are movies, some consist of TV series as well. So please Enjoy!!!

Glass
So I raise the glass and drink up all the sorrows.
To that I wish all the complications would blossoms
into which I thought would fade.
But instead it took a more difficult twist and turn.
I can't drive with a straight head in this windy road.
I need a guide that can lead me to the other side
of that road.
A place where I belong, a place where I can feel peace.
There's always no easy way to gain what you desire the most.
A bit of blood will be spill from the wine that we drink
to reach that last joy at the bottom of the glass.
Year after year I seek for it, I'm afraid to dive
to the bottom.
Is it worth it? Is it worth the risk? What if I drown?
What if others would suffer?
So I kept holding on to the glass. I hold it so tight
until it cracks.
I tried to fix it back, glue it together back again,
hoping that it would be the same as before.
I tried to find the pieces but they have been
dissolved with the solution.
I'm still holding the glass, it drips and I can't tell
what's inside.
Should I drink it or leave it to dry?
I'll just keep on hanging on to that last drip to save
the best for last.

Reality Check
Lol... art work found from this site 9gag. Wow, check out the comments. Quite painful for some people.
Letters To You
Can't you see that I wanna be there with open arms?
It's empty tonight
And I'm all alone
Get me through this one
Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so
I'm writing again, these letters to you
On much I know
But I'm not sleeping and you're not here
The thought stops my heart
Do you notice I'm gone?
Where do you run to so far away?
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so
No more looking
I've found her
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you so
I want you to know that I miss you, I miss you
I've gone away
Unhearted
Photograph each day so we can live forever. I Sit in the light to make the dark a little darker and I dance to move only you and I fight to kiss and make up. I scream for some silence. I laugh to laugh for once, not there so you notice I'm gone and I breathe cuz its necessary and I sigh when I see the moon. I dream to make sleep less boring. Until there was you and I feel in the absence of heart and I plug my eyes to cry. I'm a hopeless romantic and kicking the habit but all hearts have darts.
Sweet red cherry blossom tree that lives in both you and me. You marked your name but I can see, its not on me. So I've shamelessly gone and made myself come undone.
Heavy hangs my head when I'm Unhearted.
I wear this angels crown to cover up my devils frown and upon my broken chest lay a struggle between loneliness and all the things that are out of place like my head in outer space and the carpet you walked on the ceiling that cries please don't walk away.
Sweet red cherry blossom tree that lives in both you and me. You marked your name but I can see, its not on me. So I've shamelessly gone and made myself come undone.
Heavy hangs my head when I'm Unhearted.
Bellow it out with all the breath in my lungs. Apologize for all that I've done. You did a number on me and a fantastic job. In the scheme of all things we never felt. When your hearts been breached and your guards been let down; You've rotten and spoiled me into the ground and a good mess forgives all the rest we allow ...
Sweet red cherry blossom tree that lives in both you and me. You marked your name but I can see, its not on me. So I've shamelessly gone and made myself come undone.
Heavy hangs my head when I'm Unhearted
