Might as well post as I am waiting for my upgrade of Wordpress to finish.

Jasmine lent me the Korean horror movie Arang and I watched it over the weekend. It’s been a while since I watched a horror film in which I actually had to close my eyes a few times. *looks at a grinning Jasmine* What? It was scary for me, the way her eyes were eerie. T_T

So Jas told me that it wasn’t that scary compared to The Ring and when I told her that I haven’t watched any of the The Ring movies, she gave me a dare. If she finds a DVD copy of that movie, we’ll watch it together. *cries and tries to hide*

I suppose the scary thing about horror movies besides scaring you while watching it, is the fact that they make you completely paranoid afterwards. Every little creak in scary, every gust of wind signifies a ghostly presence, every little sound in terrifying, causing you numerous sleepless nights.

And I have to agree with Jas that Asian horror movies are definitely better that the American ones. We watched The Nun before we watched Arang and I have yet to find something remotely scary with The Nun which is baffling since The Nun is more graphic and bloody than Arang, yet Arang is definitely scarier than the two. Just goes to show that more blood and gore doesn’t necessarily mean more terror.

I watched Gokusen Live Action over the weekend. I did so primarily because I was curious on how it would be. I watched the anime version before on Animax and usually both live action and anime version differ. I wanted to know which was better.

Basically, Gokusen is about a girl named Kumiko Yamaguchi who’s grandfather is the third generation yakuza leader for the Oedo family. Kumiko’s dream is to be a high school teacher just like her father. She lands a job at the Shirokin high school for boys and became in charge of the rowdiest and laziest section of 3-D. The challenge now is on how Kumiko be able to handle being a teacher to her trouble-making students and help them all graduate from high school, while keeping her identity secret as a yakuza leader’s granddaughter.

There should be a good reason why I have been blatantly ignoring the dictates to blog the last few days. Something. . . concrete, and justifiable. Like studying, or fighting for human rights, or saving the world. *pumps fists in air*

But alas, there is none. *slumps* I’ve been too busy getting addicted, on several things.

• Jas lent me her copies of Princess Princess and Ouran High Host Club. I’ve already finished Princess Princess since it’s only 12 episodes, but Ouran High has double that, I think. I can already imagine the endless hours in front of the TV.
• There’s a new author that I like, named Amanda Quick, because she has a lot of historical romances, with the usual smut of course. Though that is not the main point of her books. Her heroines are forever amusing and independent. And her stories have, dare I say it, a good plot! By God, a smutty romance with a plot, you say? What is the world coming to? ^^
• Jas, yes you can blame her again, gave me two new computer games to play and I am quite addicted, if the symptoms of a slight headache can be believed.
• Harusaki’s second birthday is coming up! We are making some preparations for it since we always do something to commemorate the event. Two years in the internet world is a long time, ne?
• I’ll be watching Happy Feet over the weekend with Jas (she does has a nasty habit of cropping up in my every other addiction, ne?). I say, I’d watch anything with Hugh Jackman on it. ^^
