New Moon and Fine Frenzy


I know I'm a little bit late but yeah..I've just done watching New Moon... (please don't boo me)
Overall it's fantastic, really unexpected to know that Jacob is a werewolf and Edward's suicidal thingy is really out of my mind. But the part that I like the most is Bella's ability to decide between Jacob and Edward. At least that tells there's distinction between love for Edward and love for Jacob. I like the part where the movie left us with a question of whoever going to turn Bella into the bloodsucker? Could it be Alice as what Alice had foreseen or could it be Edward who had asked Bella to marry him in return for him changing Bella into vampire? Well, I don't dare to make any wild guess because who knows if the plot twists and Victoria turns out to be the one who changes Bella ( well I don't read the books because I want it to be a surprise...hehe). Whatever it is, I can't wait for Eclipse to be released this June 30. (There's shocking truth: my lil sis doesn't even feel like watching Twilight Series.Dunno why. Maybe she's not into this fantasy genre.)

Another thing is I bumped into songs that kinda related to New Moon which are sang by A Fine Frenzy. So far, I found only two: Almost Lover and Near To You. Almost Lover is kinda dedicated to Edward and Near To You is for Jacob. Almost Lover is absolutely my favourite. Here are the lyrics

Almost Lover:

You fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy for you
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Near To You:

He and I had something beautiful
But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last
I loved him so but I let him go
'Cause I knew he'd never love me back

Such pain as this
Shouldn't have to be experienced
I'm still reeling from the loss,
Still a little bit delirious

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

You and I have something different
And I'm enjoying it cautiously
I'm battle scarred, I am working oh so hard
To get back to who I used to be

He's disappearing
Fading suddelly
I'm so close to being yours
Won't you stay with me
Please

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I am
Better where you are
I only know that I belong
Where you are

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
Though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on

Near to you, I am healing
But it's taking so long
'Cause though he's gone
And you are wonderful
It's hard to move on
Yet, I'm better near to you.

Yet, I'm better near to you.

Life Without Chocolate?!


I've just done watching Chocolate Underground, a short anime with altogether 13 episodes.
Overall I would say it's worth watching it if you do not feel like watching heavy tensed complicated anime, then this is a suitable one. The story revolves around the banning of chocolate in Japan by The Ministry of Health and Well-being. No one is allowed to eat chocolate, or to possess it, or even to sell or processed it. Instead of chocolate, the Ministry work on replacing chocolate with health food so as to promote healthy living. Those who impose any resistance will be caught and sent to the rehabilitation center where they will be taught of not being able to love chocolate. I really do enjoy watching it as the little heroes stand up to fight for their right to indulge in the goodness of chocolate. Wanna know what are their strategies and the ending? Find out yourself!!

Credits to the art and drawings which is kinda nice and fine along with the not too-hard-to-understand storyline. Suitable for any ages as not excess violence nor horror in it.
