countdown to the new year

So 2011 begins on Saturday.

Three days not including today.

Its time for some reinvention if not just some improvement.

Thinking about last year and how far I've come... or how far I could have gone.. it's just unbelievable.

Lets have the pictures speak for themselves.

 Perhaps this will help me think of some new goals/resolutions.

 

 

 

 

 

i love U(-gun)

I would love to have this man in my life.

U-Gun, where you at?

We can watch fashion shows together.

 

Get caught in the rain together.

 

Take a drive in your car and waste time together.

 

 Gaze soulfully into each others eyes.

 

Be a dork together. hahahah

 

Get dressed up and go out together.

 

Send cute messages to each other

 

Meet each others.... parents (im assuming those are your parents)

 

and show each other our baby pictures. Talk about our pasts.

you are so cute. 

yeayea so that was really corny....

But anyone who has been attracted to or loved someone knows that we do and say stupid corny things under that influence.

Besides, I watched some of a korean drama....That is probably where this is coming from.

Gemma Ward+ Captain Jack Sparrow

model GEMMA WARD is back....

in the new trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, which opens May 20, 2011. 

It appears she is playing an evil temptress/mermaid Tamara (1:52 and 2:07)

its been so long.

dear seoul

Dear Seoul, Korea.

Please do not have inclement weather during my stay. I promise you lots of fun and adventure. Besides, I want to take tons of pictures of you and the snow/crazy weather is just a distraction/inconvenience.

Cannot WAIT to see you. I hope you're ready. I expect a warm welcome.

I'll see you in a week. 

Lots of love,

A s M

one week.

trance is going to take over the world

I've been noticing how Trance/progressive/techno music has become more and more prevalent. Its definitely becoming more accepted as time goes on. Granted, these following examples are just the beginning of the huge genre of music and cater to a more mainstream audience but nevertheless I see a trend.

You're probably familiar with these throwbacks:
(to hear music from black swan skip to the end)

Dj Sammy - Heaven and  Guru Josh Project- infinity respectively

 

and these days you hear things like this:

Yolanda Be Cool Vrs DCup - We No Speak Americano

Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina - Stereo Love

David Guetta one of the more mainstream artists

David Guetta feat Kid Cudi- memories

David Guetta feat Akon- Sexy Chick (clean)

Benny Benassi

known for his song, Satisfaction. He joined forces with Kelis and Jean Baptiste from Black eyed peas to produce this song:

chris brown definitelyyy used some techno influences in his song

You also hear techno/trance/progressive in movies these days.

in  TRON youll hear Daft Punk:

Chemical Brothers and others in Black Swan

These are the 9 songs featured in the movie

1. Apotheosis – Pete Min

2. Danka Jane – The Chemical Brothers

3. Outside the Lines – Sepalcure featuring Angelica Bess

4. The White Easton – Al Tourettes

5. Illicit Dreaming – Kavsrave

6. Electric Hands – The Chemical Brothers

7. The Nina Frequency – The Chemical Brothers

8. Dark Sygnet - Jakes

9. Don't Think - The Chemical Brothers (club scene)

friends with benefits

sooo

Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman were both in Black Swan

and they're both starring in movies that have the same premise.

Friends with Benefits with Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake comes out July 22, 2011. Looks like more of a raunchy comedy, guy friendly.

No Strings attached comes out January 21st 2011 with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Looks more like a romantic comedy.

Which one will you seeeee?

 US VOGUE JAN 2011

On being in favor of vulgar: “There’s a difference between being in a bra and underpants as an object on a men’s-magazine cover and playing yourself—a woman with desires and needs who loves and laughs with her friends—in a bra and underpants. You become an object if you simply put it out there. Most movies are made by men, it’s totally natural that they’re going to present their worldview, so we’re trying to find more women who are writers and directors who are expressing their worldview. Did you see Tiny Furniture? Lena Dunham wrote, directed, and starred in it; she’s 23, and it is just amazing. She walks around in her underwear for the whole movie; it’s harsh. She’s the subject, she’s not the object, and it’s beautiful—that’s the kind of thing we need more of.”

If you've seen the movie, which I did just yesterday, you know that Mila Kunis plays Lily, "the more passionate and worldly of the two." Interestingly enough, at the NY movie premiere in the beginning of December, Kunis looked angelic in a pale rose Elie Saab gown, with pink makeup, while Portman, who in the movie plays the sheltered, troubled ballerina Nina, opted for a sultry off the shoulder Dior gown complete with red lips. She even carried an Olympia Le Tan book clutch of the novel Lolita, about the notorious teenage temptress.
