I was just browsing through Korean actresses
and suddenly I found this beautiful photo
A contemporary makeup featuring
a natural look.

Before I encountered this photo
I was searching for information regarding
an architectural style - Brutalism
I think I might be falling in love with it
after gazing through some photos





The Bauhaus architect Le Corbusier
used the French phrase
béton brut, or raw concrete,
to describe the construction of his
rough, concrete buildings.
Brutalism grew out of the Bauhaus Movement
and the béton brut buildings by
Le Corbusier and his followers.

Heavy and angular,
Brutalist buildings can be constructed
quickly and economically.

Common features are:

1. Precast concrete slabs
2. Rough, unfinished surfaces
3. Exposed steel beams
4. Massive, sculptural shapes

+Reference+

In my opinion, Brutalism is
all about being true to the material.
Exposing raw concrete instead of
colouring it with paint or using other finishes.
It's like when everyone's home is
standardized with a certain colour of paint.
And so an architect said
"Why should we colour the concrete?"
other questions are like
"Why can't we leave it bare
revealing it's purest nature?"
Thus, brutalist architects arose
and the style still lives until today

But we have yet to see such style here in town
urgh. . I'd wish I can see one around here

-------------

That's it for the day
and with that I'd like to end it with
a recent song that I've found out
It's one of my favourite



Wolf's Rain - Strangers

We've found a kind of paradise
in a flowers bloom
We've seen the end of a mystic land
so close it meets the parting sun.
We've shared the thoughts that two could share,
we feel the truth, magic that we send...
Searching for something new
Isle of Gold in flowers bloom

We've heard a kind of paradise
beyond the desert's dunes
We've walked the earth in solitude,
so cold we need the warmth of sun.
We've lived the life that we could live,
we see the truth magic that begins...
Searching for something new
Isle of Gold in flowers bloom

We've found a kind of paradise,
below a sky so new.
We've weaved a web of mystery so wide,
we need the light of day.
We've worn the cloak of secret lives,
we've seen the truth, magic that we send...
Searching for something new
Isle of Gold in flowers bloom

So when will it end?
So when, when will we meet, my friend?

Mhmm reminds me of me

1st of May, 2012 - Kaichou wa Maid-Sama! Chapter 70

+Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Chapter 70 link+

It's finally here!
But this time the story is focusing
more onto Misaki's and Suzuna's father
Ayuzawa Sakuya

In the previous chapter
Sakkun volunteered to be
Maid Latte's chef but then he confessed
that he was Misaki's long lost father.

Misaki was told by her mother, Minako
that her father left them with a high amount
of debt shouldering their family
because his father loves to gamble
and is as irresponsible sloth
However in Chapter 70
Minako tells the real story why Sakuya leaves




In this chapter, there isn't much
'Kyaa Kyaa' moments between Usui and Misaki
but only the normal perverted alien question.

Usui:
Misaki. . aren't you going to ask me something?

Misaki:
*looks at Usui with surprise*

Usui:
But it's fine if you don't want to ask. . .
Then. . . I'll ask instead

Misaki:
*becomes worried*

Usui:
What's Misaki's underwear colour today?

LAWL!!! HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!


That's It For Now!
See You When I See You

1st of May, 2012 - Cars

. . .Psst. . .
If you're interested in Japanese contemporary art
and you're planning to be in Japan soon,
an amazing show by Yasuyuki Nishio
one of Japan's top contemporary sculptors
opens this weekend in Tokyo.
The exhibition is inspired by last year's earthquake
and will feature several new large-scale works.

I'd really love to go and see the exhibition
but I don't have the cash yet *sighs*

------------------------

It was around afternoon I was at the
parking area in Karamunsing
and I saw this car



Peugeot RCZ
which was released in May 2010
and only a few people know it's existence
It's the cheapest sports car in town
and The RCZ received the Top Gear 2010
Coupe of the Year award,
the Auto Express Special Design Award 2010
and has won red dot awards.

It is a concept car holding a
concept of the Double Bubble.

Although It's only suitable
for 1 driver and 1 passenger
It's still one of my favourite car

----

Next is this commercial


Volvo S60 T6 R-Design | Little Red

Basically what I'd like to share
is the Volvo cars
It's material is one of the strongest
in the whole world
and it's the safetiest car ever built.

Volvo cars can also be describe as
a luxurious car with it's design
and interior space.
One of the coming cars from volvo
are concept cars like S60 concept car.

Again, not many people are fancy
with this type of car because
they say that it's an old folks car who are rich.
Surely youths are more to sporty cars
like Nissan Fairlady and the Lamborghini.
but when it comes to accidents,
Volvo drivers will be laughing all day.

and of course the s60 is one of my favourite cars
*chuckles*

That's It For Now!
Sayonara~

1st of May, 2012 - Movies

Yes good morning to this lovely month
which is the month of May
also in the Roman Catholic calender
it is known as the month of Mother Mary
It is Labour day today
so I'm going to take this time to update
my blog for a little while

My finals are coming up soon
and everyone is busy finishing up
what's left of their work
I'm on my 2nd year of college
but I still feel like I haven't learn enough yet

Nevertheless, today I'll just focus on
what I've recently encounter
mhmm mhmm~

----------------------------



First on the list is none other
than the Avengers
A group of superheros trying to save
the world from the hands of the evil ones.

I'd say it's a smart movie
because before they directly make this movie
they split the stories focusing on each one
of the heros but too bad they didn't show
a movie about the Black Widow and Hawkeye
Overall rating for this movie is 97%
which of course it's one of the best movies
of the year and I'm sure everyone is
waiting for the next one.

However I wasn't satisfied with the Hulk
I mean the professor's character.
It's so sad that they had to find
a replacement for the previous actor.

Here's a little something XD
CLICK IT! CLICK IT!!



Next on the list is the Cabin in the woods
a horror movie with a twist in it.
I'm not really in fond with horror movies
or blood splattering and ghosts appearing
out of nowhere hunting a person down
and you're sitting there watching them
suffering until they are dead =w=
I was like covering my face the whole time
while watching this movie
but it was for the sake of Thor XD
hahahaha!!
to bad Chris Hemsworth's character
had to die in the middle of the movie
because of the barrier that he hit
while riding his motorcycle

I like the whole concept of the movie
it has a rating of 93%
Lots of movies tells about what happened
during the end of the world like
the avangers and transformers.
But this movie is something like
the terminator where it tells you
what triggers or what happens
before the battle.

It's just so horrifyingly cool



Move on to the movie Lock Out
a science fiction movie
and it's the same director who made Taken
I really love the movie Taken
but it's sad that Lock Out only has a
34% of overall rating.

Most people complain of how the guy
jumped from MS one,
a prison orbiting in outer space
and landed on Earth without a sweat.
It's not logical they say.

I like the characters but the story,
mmm not so. .



Last it Battleship
A group of new coming actors that
might be replacing Liam Nelson and Van Damme
but will never could I think *laughs*
Tha movie scores a 37% of rating
and yes lots of people complained about this one.

My first opinion. . . really. .
is that Rihanna isn't suitable for
the character that she was given.
A military lady. . okay. .
but in the movie it looked like she
was the only lady in that ship.
A reverse-harem movie?
Aside from that it's just such a pity
for the aliens because the aliens
didn't even try to kill the humans
I mean all they did was crush ships,
bridges, buildings and other
man-made stuff.
Clearly in the movie it shows that
a kid was standing in front of the alien
but the alien didn't kill the kid, instead just
went pass through it.
HOWEVER, the humans go on
and attack and kill all the aliens.
Why? Well maybe that's just the human way
I was like. . . really? Seriously?

The only exciting thing about this movie
is their strategies and the old
steam-powered battleship.
Oh! and also Liam Nelson kyaaa~!

----------------------------

Next will be about cars
Until then~

2nd of April, 2012 - おはようございます

CARAMELLDANSEN!

It's a cute dance~
I just wanted to share it XD
The girls are from Evangelion
However, I haven't watch the anime yet.
But they're cute~

31st of March, 2012 - Studio Gibli: Ocean Waves & Porco Rosso

Somehow I feel like I've been
watching too many anime this midterm break.
But it can't be helped since I have no
other time (besides the weekend) to
watch the animes that's been stored
in the files for way too long.

So a few hours ago I finished watching
a Studio Gibli movie: Ocean Waves
or I Can Hear The Sea
It's not really a popular one
but it's one of the collections.

The story is basically about
a love triangle (says wiki)
It does look like it
but it didn't feel like it
since the two best friends
didn't really fight over the girl
instead they kept on
talking to each other about her.

------------

1st Guy: Taku
A top student in Jr High
but his grades drop at High school
He met Yutaka at a meeting room
in the art class concerning
about the cancellation
of their Jr High trip.

2nd Guy: Yutaka
A student council student.
Wears glasses.
Rikako first transferred into his class
and he showed her around school.
He's in love with her
but got rejected.
Oh and I love his character's voice

Girl: Rikako
A transferred student from Tokyo.
I hate her personality
I don't really know why guys
would fall for her,
maybe that's why all the female students
hate her and isolated her.
She's a bitch who uses others
but ends up liking Taku.

------------

I basically hate the girl for
using Taku as an excuse to meet
her father in Tokyo.
I hate her for rejecting such
a nice guy like Yutaka.
I hate her for causing
such a rumour about Taku and her.
I hate such kids.
I hate kids blah (=w=)

Throughout the movie I was like
"Taku!! Why are you being so nice to her
when you know she's just using you!
but I guess you're a good person
but still you're too good yet so dumb!"

And no matter how much I try
I can't seem to see how the title
would relate to the story.
Yes the story never really set
a plot by the ocean or beach,
so there must be some kind
of a concept to it right?
But what?!
I think I'm going insane.

I heard it's been made by a younger
staff in studio gibli so maybe
that's the reason why? blehh. .

-------------------


So here's another one of
Studio Gibli's movie
Porco Rosso
which I watched before
Ocean Waves

It's a good movie but I'm unsatisfied
when they didn't explain how
he ended up being a pig.
He was a human at first
and he goes by the name Marco,
he was cursed and so he
turned into a pig.
He continued his life being a pilot
working as a bounty hunter
catching air pirates.
Porco Rosso is his name
that he's famous for and he'd
be in the headlines in newspapers.

During his fight with an American pilot
which the pirates hired,
his airplane got beaten up pretty
badly and he had to fly to Milan
to get it repair. But he encountered
the American again and his airplane
came crashing down an uninhabited island.
He somehow managed to go to Milan
and he contacted his old friend
who is an engineer which designed
his airplane. His friend's granddaughter
offered to re-designed Marco's airplane
and it was successful.
However, when they had to launched,
they were attacked by spies.
But Marco and the girl made
it to his hideout
where the pirates were waiting for him
to appear for revenge.

It's quite an interesting story
and the pirates really have a good side.
It reminded me of a phrase
"When pigs fly"
which means "never"

But this pig has a charm of his own
being so cool yet so pig-ish

That's All For Now!
~Off to watch more~

31st of March, 2012 - Mobile Suit Gundam [1 Year War]

. . .Mmhmm. . .
I just finished watching the first
Mobile Suit Gundam
RX-78 Amuro Ray
Others call it the 1 year war
since the anime is from UC 0079 to UC 0080
UC = Universal Century

The 1 year war is a year where
the Principality of Zeon
which was ruled by the Zabi family
after the death of Casval's & Artesia's father,
wants to rule over mankind
and decides to attack the
Earth Federation risking people's lives.
The story begins with the newly
built Federation warship
which is 'White Base'
or the Trojan Horse.
After White Base set onto Side 7,
a colony in outer space,
they were attack by Zeon soldiers.
A lot of the Federation's commanders
and top soldiers died during the attack,
that's where the young people
came in to help in anywhere they could.

They were Amuro, Bright, Mirai, Fraw, Sayla,
Ryu, Kai, Hayato and others.
All of them were kids but they all
managed to win battles one by one.
However, it is such a sad thing that Ryu,
who was a core fighter pilot, to have left
them by sacrificing himself
during the battle.


As the story moves along,
they start talking about NEWTYPES
A type of human which was going to revolutionized
the nation with it's amazing human ability.
Great reflexes, amazing agility,
speed, power and able to use telepathy.
More powerful than a veteran pilot.
I guess something like a superhuman?

Amuro Ray was one of the Newtypes
after realizing that the Gundam was
starting to unable keep with Amuro
and ends up overheating.
However, the solution was
to cover the Gundam's frame
with a magnetic coat,
it's like adding oil to the joints.

As Amuro was fighting,
he meet Lalah, another Newtype
which somehow understands how Amuro feels
and 'they were destined to meet'
but at the wrong time.
His love for Lalah is really confusing
because at first he was close
to Fraw Bow, then after that
he admires a military lady
Miss Matilda, then now Lalah?
. . blehh. .

Anyhow, so the story goes on
revealing that Char, Sayla
and Mirai are Newtypes as well.
Amuro were able to telepathy the crews
of White Base to safety by using
Lalah's power (I guess that's how it goes)

Then tadaa~
The End of the 1 year war
Next I'm going to watch
Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta
~~weee~~
~~Haman Karn~~

p.s. Char was also in love with Lalah ftw

Aside from that
I crave for something sweet
like those delicious pancakes and waffles
. . . Oh ma gosh . . .

That's All For Now
