Katy Perry - Firework

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em going "Oh, oh, oh!"

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

Something I read...

"It’s sort of like the difference between hearing “you’re fucking ugly” your whole life and then suddenly having someone tell you, “you’re fucking beautiful.” They’re just words, but somehow they have the power to tilt your axis, shift your worldview just a little, jar you out of your funk and make you see a slightly different angle."

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1

I fell in love with the first movie, and I started to devour the books.

The second confused me, but it’s okay.

The third disappointed me, the fourth brought back my trust.

It shattered by the fifth.

I didn’t care enough to watch the sixth.

And seventh, lucky number it is, made me fall in love all over again.

I always predicted the movie will started with action on the go. Seven Harry(es?) flew to the sky with their escorts, attacked by Death Eaters. Magic wand shots everywhere. People shouted. Action.

I glad I was wrong, because I liked the beginning even better. Instead of jump into action, we saw emotional suspense. Harry, Ron, Hermione, in their time before everything started again. Mostly I love how Emma Watson portrayed Hermione. Sadness, confused, but determined. She planned it all. Even to the safety of her muggle parents.

The scene when she used Obliviate charm to her parents was not in the book. We knew it happened. But instead of put it into dialog, they chose to show it. And I know from the emotion I felt then, this movie was going to be great.

One of my favorite part in the book, where Harry woke up in Black’s residence and he saw Ron and Hermione’s hands like they hold each other till they fell asleep. I had wanted to dance around because I was so happy they inserted that small moments.

Of course, not all the details were the same. I read the book about a year ago so I don’t remember it all. But, that’s what makes this movie much much better than the previous ones. Even without those details, it didn’t felt choppy. They warped such long scenes at Godric Hollows into just few minutes, but it’s still good to watch. And thank God, they decided to make it to two parts. Although we have to wait another year for part two, at least we get double awesomeness.

I believe, Harry Potter will become a legend, a tale itself. Harry Potter has become an icon. I never knew a world full of wizards can be so exciting before him. And I’m sure in another ten or twenty years, I’ll sit back and read all those seven books again, reminded by my own memories about this time when I’m still young. And maybe I’ll tell those stories to my children, and grandchildren, start with “Once upon a time, there’s a boy named Harry… “

meet you in flesh...

Just meet a bestfriend today and spend all day long with her. She got a job almost a month ago and since then our usual meeting on workdays stopped. We keep chatting everyday, with BBM, and lately with SMS or other messengers since her Blackberry was broken. Sometimes we just say hii... or I reported that I just woke up at 10 a.m., or she told me something stupid like her boss fart in front of her, silly and small things like that. Sometimes we shared about our job, she is an interior designer too, and projects we got.

But all those chats we did everyday can't beat the excitement when I meet her in person. We spent almost two hours after our lunch at the restaurant just to talk. Then a trip to another mall for movie and coffee, walk around to bought birthday cake and card for his cousin. It's a simple day out with a friend. And I had so much fun. ^^

Today's event remind me about a chapter in Mikko's latest edition. It's a japanese comic book about Mikko, a fifth grader. Her friend got a new handphone, and learn to send text to other. At first she thought it's cool because she can chat with her friends. But somehow she felt lonely. And Mikko, with her innocence, said that it's more fun to talk in person than through text on the phone.

It's really complicated in our world now. With facebook, twitter, bbm, ym, msn, etc. we can connect to the world, and the world to us. But despite the benefits they brought, we miss a lot of things too. Maybe a smile, a slight change of the voice tone, the way their eyes twinkling when excited, body language that say I don't like you right now, pat on your shoulder, a hug. Things that can't truly be transferred by keypad or keyboard.

We're all busy people, with a thing or two that always around, needed to be done as soon as possible. Let's just take a break sometimes. Spend just few hours, just to meet the people you care, in flesh.

This is fenny, signing out ~ ~
