#nowwatching SKINS (2013);

I've been watching Skins from the third season on, and subsequently went back to season 1 and 2. As opposed to most Skins fans, my favourite seasons were the third and fourth. It could be because they were the cast that I was most familiar with since I started with them, but I actually like the second generation more than the first.

This year, Skins come full circle with the last season, which only comprises of 3 episodes, and centralises on 3 main characters. And this season, has officially taken over as my favourite season.

What makes Skins different from other coming-of-age Teen Dramas is the fact that they don't hide the explicits. Everything is raw and real; Skins is definitely not the faint-hearted. Sex, drugs, family issues, gangsterism, etc. Which is why the American remake was a major failure because it was way too censored; with all the censorship going on, it's no wonder Skins (US) lost most of the essence and appeal, if not all, of what the series is about.

The final season's main characters are Effy Stonem (Fire), Cassie Ainsworth (Pure) and James Cook (Rise).

I love all the episodes; but spoiler alert, 'Fire' is immensely depressing in my honest opinion, 'Pure' is just plain beautiful and 'Rise' is an immaculate orchestra of darkness, I can't even..

 Not going to say anymore lest I let slip another spoiler. So if you've got time to catch any series today, try Skins (2013). 

#nowwatching ROMEO + JULIET (1996)

Mercutio:

And to sink in it, should you burthen love - 

Too great oppression for a tender thing.

Romeo:

Is love a tender thing? It is too rough,

too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.

Mercutio:

If love be rough with you, be rough with love.

Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.

Give me a case to put my visage in!

A visor for a visor - what care I?

What curious eye doth quote deformities?

Here are the beetle brows shall blush for me.

#nowwatching Closer

I could re-watch this for a thousand times and still learn something new from it. Possibly the tenth time I've watch this already. 

I am aware @irinatyt just blogged about this; it's purely coincidental that I re-watched this the same time she decided to watch and blog about it. Hahaha, and yeah I'm like her biggest fan partly cause we like the same kind of films too. 

#nowwatching; SYRUP

Surprisingly great film. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and couldn't keep my eyes off Six the whole time because she is that hot. 

Looks attract people; intellect keeps them.

"Sex is biology; sex appeal is marketing. It's not the naked body that's appealing; it's the possibility."

If you have both the looks and intellect, bam. Men want you, women want to be you.

#nowwatching; CLUELESS

Just caught this online on a whim. Not the usual kind of films I'd go to but it's a nice change once in a while! But oh my Alicia Silverstone in this film is sooooo pretty I couldn't stop looking at her!!! 

 

 

I mean, just look at her. Her hair is so luxurious in the show I think everytime she touched her hair, I whimpered in envy. 

She's got the whole effortless pretty girl look nailed in the film. And thankfully, her character wasn't the least bit annoying at all. How could she be!?

 

And this above, is way too funny! Exactly what I would say about people I don't like!

........

I am really brave to actually put a selfie in the same post as Alicia Silverstone -.- But whoa watching the film helped made my decision for me that I SHALL NOT BE A BLONDE. If you know me personally, like hang out with me a lot, you'd probably hear this before; I really wanted to dye my hair blond. Just because I could, yknow like YOLO~~~  (so annoying I know)

yessir, this is my hair with just shampoo and conditioner. strictly no blowdrying involved.

And needless to say my friends have all been telling me not to, mostly because they say my hair looks really healthy now and bleaching is definitely going to ruin it. I guess I really do take my good hair genes for granted sometimes :/ I mean as of now, my hair has already been bleached twice, and dyed thrice (or more)? And it still looks quite fab for that sooooo....

Yes, Alicia Silverstone c/o 1995, you have successfully persuaded me to let my hair live. LOL. 

c/o Vanity Trove (*sponsored)

Not some masked hair advertorial but I've been using this from time to time when I feel my hair needs a little oomph and I must say this smells AHMAYZING! A little goes a long way, and it really makes me hair feel silky smooth :} So if you need some hair elixir, maybe you can try this? :D 

Alrighty! Really random update cause I'm still going mental gaga over Cher Horowitz (her character in the film)! Gym tonight with M again, can't wait to run! :D

Till my next one, stay safe kitties x!

#nowwatching; The Joy Luck Club

watch from 04:37 onwards.

........

At first, it was just a bunch of little things, loving things a wife would do behind the scenes without him even knowing. You know, like paying the household bills, buying him special gifts that showed my love. The beautiful part was, he never had to ask for any of this. In fact, he never even knew. I told myself that was the selfless way, the loving way instead of the chicken shit way. And, over time, I could see that Ted was becoming bored. We said less and less. So I tried harder.

........

“What you going to do with leftovers after he eats one slice?” 

Throw it away, I guess.

“You ask yourself why you make this? Because I know, even if you don't.”

I like being tragic, Ma. I learned it from you.

“You think he sees this pie; now he's so sorry he take you for granted. You think this, you the foolish one. Every time you give him gift, like begging. ‘Take this. Oh, sorry. Please forgive me. I'm not worth as much as you.’ So he only take you more for granted. Never know what you're worth. Until too late. I was raised the Chinese way. I was taught to desire nothing, to swallow other people's misery, and to eat my own bitterness. But, no, this cannot be. This, this not knowing what you're worth. This not begin with you.”

........

You're not taking any part of me. 'Cause you don't know who I am. It's not your fault, none of it. I was the one who told you that my love wasn't good enough; that your love was worth more than mine. I was so full of shit. 

........

I love this movie so much, I first watched it during Literature class and I guess I never really understood till I caught it unintentionally on HBO last Saturday.

The whole situation; the whole persona that Rose portrayed, hit too close to home. I behaved exactly like Rose, putting someone's happiness above mine, and think that counted as love. And that is not the way. I lost myself during the whole process, now I need to find myself back. 

#nowwatching; Eat. Pray. Love.

"I think the reason it’s so hard for me to get over this guy is because I seriously believed David was my soul mate." 

”He probably was. Your problem is you don’t understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave. And thank God for it. Your problem is, you just can’t let this one go. It’s over, Groceries. David’s purpose was to shake you up, drive you out of your marriage that you needed to leave, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light could get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you had to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master and beat it. That was his job, and he did great, but now it’s over. Problem is, you can’t accept that his relationship had a real short shelf life. You’re like a dog at the dump, baby – you’re just lickin’ at the empty tin can, trying to get more nutrition out of it. And if you’re not careful, that can’s gonna get stuck on your snout forever and make your life miserable. So drop it."

“But I love him.”

“So love him.” 

“But I miss him.” 

“So miss him. Send him some love and light every time you think about him, then drop it. You’re just afraid to let go of the last bits of David because then you’ll be really alone, and Liz Gilbert is scared to death of what will happen if she’s really alone. But here’s what you gotta understand, Groceries. If you clear out all that space in your mind that you’re using right now to obsess about this guy, you’ll have a vacuum there, an open spot – a doorway. And guess what the universe will do with the doorway? It will rush in – God will rush in – and fill you with more love than you ever dreamed. So stop using David to block that door. Let it go.” 

#nowwatching; Garden State

but the world is not a wish granting factory.

Watching this whole scene, felt so strikingly similar to it. But Life, is not a movie. &movies, usually give us unrealistic expectations of Life.
