heavy rain and flash flood.

It has been raining since early in the morning. Pretty heavy with thunder and lightning. I felt quite good because it cooled the house.

I was cooking breaklunch and suddenly, my feet were in water. Shocked! I looked around and guess what? My kitchen was flooded!!! Damn! Peeked behind my house and got a second shock. The whole alley was underwater!!! Warrrghhhh!!!!!!!! Help, help, help!!! Triple shock! Even the garage was flooded because the whole road was underwater too! Nooooo... My sandals and slippers are floating... floating... floating... Aduuuiiiiiiii!!!!!!!! It is going to be a hard work to clean up all those... dirty water stains and dirt plus some wet dry dead grasses... Damn. I hate it. Hate it!

Right now, I am practically trapped inside my house. Luckily there is no class today. Waiting for my sisters to be back from their classes. I wonder how are they going to get into the house. It is flooding and dirty. Dirty.Dirty. Dirty!!!

Oh, the kitchen is almost dry now! Hmm... Damn flash flood. Let me check the garage. Hmm... No more water pooling except for the dirt and grasses..... Have to clean up, clean up. Hate it. Hate it. Did I mentioned that the bathroom and toilet were affected too? Well, luckily the bedrooms, living room and center space were safe. Haizzz... Have to go now. It is still thundering and lightning.

The GazettE

hahaha... I am so excited. It has been a while since I last felt this way. I am talking about the kind of excitement I get whenever I found something damn good to obsessed about. wahahahahahaha..........

Introducing my new founds favourite JRock band, The GazettE.

Other than the great rocking L'Arc~en~ciel and devilishly sexy beautiful Gackt, I am now falling head over heel for this rather new Visual Kei band. I won't go on blabbing about the facts and numbers. Here is the link if you want to learn more about The GazettE from Wikipedia. They don't seems to have their own website yet. Well, I guess it is just a matter of time.

I first heard about GazettE from a friend in my Friendster account. My first impression was, "Aaahh... another Visual Kei band. Heavy makeup and ridiculous clothings. Wonder if they can actually sing? Maybe just another pretty faces and overrated gimmicks." In case you are wondering, I fancy Gackt and not Malice Mizer. So, I didn't give The GazzettE another thought.

Months later, I was talking to my Japanese Language sensei about Japanese singers and bands. She seems to like Gackt too, which is a good thing. Then, she suggested that I must have like GazettE as well if I love L'Arc~en~ciel. Therefore, today I thought it would be good to give GazettE a try. And now, I have to eat my own words. huhuhuhuhu~~~ They definitely can sing and produce rocking music.

Let me just quote this from Wikipedia :
"The Gazette's musical style varies greatly, but it is generally thought of to be a form of Rock Music, also commonly dwelling into the genres of Heavy Metal and Alternative Metal. Songs like "Silly God Disco" feature a funk rock styled sound, while "SWALLOWTAIL ON THE DEATH VALLEY" features a hard rock styled sound, while songs like "Maggots", "Discharge" and "Headache Man" dwell into heavier forms of Music, in particular, Alternative Metal. The release of the new album DIM showed The GazettE producing a more Experimental sound than in older Albums, while retaining their Alternative Metal styled sound, shown in songs such as "OGRE". The Gazette also uses a wide range of synthesised sounds during their songs, mainly female voices, shown in songs such as "SWALLOWTAIL ON THE DEATH VALLEY" and "Filth in the Beauty". The Gazette has also produced a number of lighter rock songs, such as "Calm Envy" and "Cassis"."

Cassis is the first Gazette's song that I listened to and I am immediately melted by it. Ruki's voice just blew me away. It is pretty much unexpected. Cassis sounds so sad and yet very clear. How to better describe my thoughts and feelings toward this song? Erm... It felt like I can understand every words and emotions of the song thanks to Ruki's capability in expressing and singing it. I had some mixed but good feelings about it.





I am trying to listen to their other songs as well and are also fond of like these two.








Burial Applicant, Ganges Ni Akai Bara, Gentle Lie, Filth In The Beauty and Circle Of Swindler from their "Stacked Rubbish" album sound good too. Sometimes, I can't help relating some of their sound to Gackt's or Laruku's or Hyde's. Other than that, this band is pretty new to me.

In my own humble opinion, L'Arc~en~ciel is an established successful great JRock band while The GazettE is an upcoming and rising talented new JRock band. I will keep my eye on The GazettE as well now. haha...

***update: I found their website.

Twilight. What's with it?

What's up with Twilight? Almost everyone is talking about it on the internet. They are even going to have a second part of it called New Moon. Now, allow me tell you what I think about it.

First thing first. When this movie was coming to the big screen, I was kind of curious about it. Well, I am into romantic + comedy + horror movies. But then a friend of a friend of mine watched it before I could, and said it was boring... So, I just give forget about it.

Months past by and I couldn't care less about it. However, the heat of Twilight is still alive and dominating the cyber world. You can find many quizzes concerning this human-vampire-teenage-love-affair movie in Facebook. Plus, Hollywood Access is making a pretty big coverage on it. Those vampires stars are getting famous and gathering fans. They keep on showing what's new about Twilight on the net... This is technically a sign that the movie is a big success, right? Even Dakota Fanning is going to star in the sequel. Now, I really have to start wondering on what is the real deal with Twilight? So...

I just watched it and...

I am sorry to say that this movie is booooooring. (=.=!!!) It's just like watching those typical Taiwanese idol dramas (which I am not a big fan of)... lame, overrated and boring. What they do is just casting all the pretty faces with averge or none at all acting skills. Pardon me but I just don't enjoy or appreciate this kind of thing. I don't get it why Twilight is so famous? Do those fans really look at the movie, or they are just admiring the actors' good look? O.o Dissapointing...

I myself really admire Daniel Henney for his handsome Eurasian good look, but I also have to admit that he can still grow into a skillful, talented and truly successful actor with more chances and time. Plus, the most essential part for me in being a fan of certain actor or actress is watching their improvements and developments to become a legendary performer.

Anyway, anyhow, this is only my sincere personal opinion. Since Dakota Fanning will be in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, I keep a new hope and looking forward to how they are going to turn this movie to a more brilliant one. Please don't let it be the same lame one...
