Holiday Glory

Sem break!! Holiday!! At last, I can breath for a while.... I miss my blogsite, I have a lot to
talk about I dn't even know where to start, hopefuly Ill get a new laptop this coming January.

Article 1

X-mas is here, can you feel it? I spent a big amount of money reluctantly shopping gifts for my friends,
relatives and inaanaks. My frustrating Santa Dreams is really awful.

Emptied bank accounts, emptied wallet, Oh Lord, I can really feel it.

Article 2

It's December and it's the time of the year when big music superstars release their
albums, this includes: Beyonce, Kanye West, Britney Spears etc.

Speaking of Britney It's nice to know that she's back with a number 1 album "Circus" A lot of music Moguls claims that it is the best comeback of all time, what can you say??

BTW, I got the new Kyla "Heart to Heart" Album. Can somebody get me the Amy Winehouse repackaged album "Frank"? (I wish)

Article 3

Has anyone seen the movie "Quarantine"? I went into this movie with fairly vague expectations - however I am a fan of scary movies, and not to mention a big fan of Jennifer Carpenter.

Quarantine is a remake of the 2007 Spanish picture REC where a news reporter and her cameraman find themselves tagging along on a rescue call with some police as ride alongs and get quite a bit more a story than they bargain for.
Seems like some nasty experiments which speed up the rabies disease have gotten out of the laboratory. It's that distress call that Jennifer Carpenter and Steve Harris are answering. When they get in there, they can't get out and neither can any of the residents. They've been quarantined by the CDC.

This movie made me physically sick. The content of the movie was what I expected, sort of...but the constant shaking and moving of the camera throughout the ENTIRE MOVIE caused me to become nauseated with a headache.try it. scary. funny and stressful.

How bout the MMFF movies?? well, what can I expect?

Article 4

My holiday Season LSS? Leona’s new single, "Run"

"Run" is a cover of the Snow Patrol song, It became the UK's fastest-selling digital release ever, selling 69,244 copies in just two days.

Leona Lewis Run Music Video

Actually, I do have one reservation about this version. I’ve sat down and listened to the Snow Patrol version, and I’ve listened to the BBC Live Lounge version. My bone of contention with this version is how overblown the whole production is. It starts off nice and subtle, but by the end, there are children’s choirs, massive orchestra, and I distinctly heard the clank of a kitchen sink.

Still, in the midst of it all is Leona’s beautiful voice. She manages to swing between whispering, delicate vocals in the intro to powerful during the climax of the song. And she does it effortlessly.

Simon would remind us that she’s Britain’s hottest vocal talent right now, and for once he wouldn’t be blowing smoke up our asses. Run is a timely reminder that Leona is the X Factor contestant to beat, even two years later.

Happy Holidays!!
Enjoy!!
