Note To Self





Note to Self

Pour energy
into your
words

Write with intensity
so great
that if you held the page
from a mountain's peak
your words
would be mistaken
for
stars

Not About You






Not About You

This poem
is not about you

even though
your spirit is in every word
your voice sound strong
in the halls of my mind
telling me things
I am not sure
I want to know

This poem is 
about me

trying to understand 
you

Something Borrowed (A Novel) by Emily Giffin๐Ÿ“‘




©Wikipedia.com

In these book, was Emily Giffin's bestselling novel back at 2005 (and the sequel Something Blue)  that centers through the story of two girls about the strength of friendship and romance when suddenly everything falls suddenly into place. 

So okay,  my POV?  This book was a gift from my 18th birthday and since I'd started reading this, I'm a bit curious  about how will the story will going to continue because it tells how a long-time friendship will be destroyed because of "SOMETHING" that happens unexpectedly. So to shorten my review of the book,  let me say that this was a greatly written book that teaches readers that it's not too late to fall in love with someone you are destined to be with. 

My Rate: 5/5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 

P.S. My next feature of the book will focus on the characters, settings and the great past and future relationships of the two main characters: Rachel and Darcy.)

Every Song




Every Song
by
Federico Garcia Lorca

Every song

is the 

remains

of love.


Every light 

the remains 

of time.

A knot of time.



And every sign 

that remains 

a cry.

The Flash... zooooommmmmmm!⚡⚡⚡



From ordinary to extraordinary


My Rate: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Review:

            How about this? At first, your life is so simple, sometimes miserable and nonunderstandable and sometimes your past hunts you down on how you live every single day in your present.

And everyday you are looking for some solutions to make things right because you thought it was. Well, for starters (just like me, who finished the 1st season... it felt like that.)

And of course that's how Barry Allen's life was. Or also known as The Flash.

Portrayed or played by Grant Gustin (Barry Allen/The Flash.)

A young man who works at Central City Police Department as a Forensic Scientist became as the Flash when one night the S.T.A.R. Labs (at Central City) exploded which activated the particle accelerator that gaves him the power to gain such super speed to become the hero and also to do multitasking activities like fighting crime and traveling back time.)

(S.T.A.R. Labs also known as  Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Laboratories for sorts๐Ÿ‘Œ)

Although it was never his intention to became the Flash himself, it's like destiny made his life to heroin he was meant to beand to choose what he should do with the power he had for himself. It may be difficult for him to choose, but of course it was never been impossible because he had family and friends to help him with.

     Like:

•Joe West (Barry's adapted father)

Iris West (Barry's adapted sister and friend)

Caitlyn Snow/Danielle Panabaker (a scientist who works at STAR Labs)

•Cisco Ramon/Carlos Valdes (also a scientist who works at STAR Labs)
Harrison Wells (owner and creator of STAR Labs)

•Ronnie Raymond (Caitlyn's fiancee)

•Eddie Thawne (Iris boyfriend, a detective and Joe's partner)

•Eobard Thawne (Eddie's family relative and also the real enemy of The Flash)

And it maybe so hard for Barry to tell his secret but it's for the best of all things. To protect the ones he loved and also to bring justice to the death of his mother's and also to the imprisonment of his father's from Iron Heights.

Although the story goes around and around to get his mother's killer, his job cannot be done because he also fighting 

"META-HUMANS" people who had gained powers because of the particle accelerator explosion.

And secure them to safety and from harm's way at all means. 

Well, basically my review is simple.
Just like the series itself. Barry's life is simple but he got to download extraordinary things. With or without powers.

And for some, it did really help me to learn something. That even though you are simply human, you can get to do great and awesome things that which not also develop yourself but also to help others too. In a simpler way. And you got to learn every battles you fought, every mistake you do and every choice you make as long as you do good things.

And that's why The Flash is so great. It's story is great. It maybe simple for others, but me... nahhhhh ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

It is truly heroic and super. It really do.

So I guess this was it, my review for my 4th TV Series this Summer of 2016.

The Flash.⚡

toss me in the wash 

with the rest of the clothes


And when you find me there 

smudged and smeared,

ripped and tattered into

little unrecognizable pieces 

don't worry about it,

I was already like that.

Zoolander (Part 2) 2016


"Relax.๐Ÿ’ฟ"

           
           ©Wikipedia.com/Zoolander2


Rate: 3/5

My Review: 

         More than 12 years since the hilarious prequel of Zoolander 's fashion life been broadcast and it's been this year the sequel has finally been revive from the ashes.

Also as it was been, the duo returned. Teamed up as the best and stupid crime fighting fashion wannabes starring Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson). Were as the story has been told, their friendship had been in highs and lows.

And since they've been gone for a long time, the story had been flipped off, some blooms flashbacks while there are others new as characters and extras. Well...it's funny. Still.

But...
But...
But...

The story becomes a small sense of confusing screenplay while it still matches the story of the new modern fashion. It will keep you asking you questions just like this:

"Okay. Okay. What?"
"Wait. Is he supposed to be that or that?" and
"Well. It's Zoolander. Umm..

So it's really confusing. But not that much. It's still considerable. Because it's comedy. And it still makes us laugh.

Or even angry for a moment. (๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜)

Okay, I'll stop the negativities.

So what's good?

One. They're back.

Two. Cool stars. (Benedict Cumberbatch. Katy Perry. Olivia Munn.)

Three. Much much cool stars. (Fashion Icons like: Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger and Alexander Wang.)

And four: The music. (For me, yes!)

And I think, well, that's it.. Only few great scenes. And the other just as good as new. Maybe because we're not used to see the new ones to appear. Right?

And I think this gonna be my review..Few lines only because I want to avoid spoilers to those who still haven't watch the movie. So yeah!

Bye. *BLUE STEEL LOOK!" ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Zootopia (2016)



©Wikipedia.com/Zootopia



My Rate: 4/5

My Review:

         First, I may say for the start, it's really common for animated films to feature animals that if not behaving who they really are, animals can really talk, do things like any human do or have some abilities with powers or not.

But, in this film.... YES! All if this things were all been featured. And the great thing is, 

ANIMALS CAN DREAM BIG THINGS! THEY CAN BE ANYONE THEY WANT IN THIS YEAR'S FILM FROM DISNEY 2016

ZOOTOPIA.

The story circles to common bunny dreamer Judy Hopps (played by Ginnifer Goodwin) who wants to become a police officer to Zootopia where she faces different tasks and challenges until she met Nicholas Wilde (Jason Bateman), a fox from Zootopia. A hustler and a trickler as his job. Where they'd team up to solve a case that disrupting Zootopia's peaceful environment.

Well, as simple as it may seems.. the film is simply adventurous. The story fits perfectly as it's first prequel. No cuts, nothing's missing and every scenes tells a story.

Maybe it's because they're are lot of places in Zootopia to discover and every place has it's own distinct ground and behavior. And all of them fits for every animal in the story.

So for another, what is the great thing for the story?

The values that it holds.

It evaluates that every person or animal can dream anything they want...no matter if you're small or big. Weak or strong or even if someone tells you, you can't fit in anywhere. But in these film, nothing's impossible if you just work hard and pursue and tell yourself that you are who you are. 

Strong. Faithful. And a Dreamer.

And no one can stop you if you face your fear and just keep going to matter what are the cause.

And just like what the movie said,

"ANYONE CAN BE ANYTHING!"

So what you're waiting for?

Dream and be strong.

Lush Life.๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ’



Heard of this song? Or you have any idea of this singer? Well, I guess you haven't cause she's newand a good fact: SHE'S ONLY 18. and from....Sweden.

Yes, you heard it right?! She's a girl of many talents. She can sing. She's beautiful. And she's nice. (It's because I've seen her IG account and Twitter of course)

And to prolong the agony, her name is ZARA LARRSON.  And she've sung the song of her first single "LUSH LIFE".

The music is upbeat, cool, fresh and have a spice of theme about crushes. Boys or girls alike. And one good thing about the song, anyone can relate. New or old. And to shorten what I am saying right now, here's the music video and lyrics of the song for lush life.

Lush Life 
(Zara Larrson)

I.

I live my day as if was the last 

Live my day as if there was no past

Doin' it all night, all summer 

Doin' it the way I wanna

Yeah, Imma dance my heart out'til the dawn 

But I won't be done when morning comes 

Doin' it all night, all summer 

Gonna spend it like no other

[Pre-Chorus]

It was a crush

But I couldn't, couldn't get enough

It was a rush

But I gave it up

It was a crush 

Now I might have went and said too much

But that's all it was

So I gave it up

[Chorus]

I live my day as if was the last 

Live my day as if there was no past 

Doin' it all night, all summer

Doin' it the way I wanna

Yeah, lmma dance my heart out'til the dawn

But I won't be done when morning comes

Doin' it all night, all summer

Gonna spend it like no other

[Pre-Chorus]

It was a crush

I kept saying lmma stay in touch 

But that thing went bust 

So I gave it up

No tricks, no bluff

I'm just better without them cuffs

Yeah the sun won't set on us

II.

Went low, went high

Still waters run dry

Gotta get back in the groove

I ain't ever worry

Went low, went high

What matters is now

Getting right back in the mood

[Chorus]

I live my day as if was the last 

Live my day as if there was no past 

Doin' it all night, all summer

Doin' it the way I wanna

Yeah, lmma dance my heart out'til the dawn

But I won't be done when morning comes

Doin' it all night, all summer

Gonna spend it like no other

[Chorus 2]

Now I've found another crush

The Lush Life's given me a rush

Had one chance to make me blush

Second time is one too late

(Repeat 1x)

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus 2 2x)

The End.
