There will always be a time for us to spot one or two (or more) scenarios of life drama.
A few weeks ago, a friend spotted a couple; with motorcycle having a fight in front of her car. Being nonlochant, she just sit there and pretend to be busy with her handphone. A loud bang freaks her out; the girl taking out her helmet and throw at her bf; whose continue to ride that motorcycle like nothing ever happen.
Last week; after finished her prayer, Ina saw someone that is blonde having a fight with her bf. The scene heated up as the bf sort of slap and grab her roughly; which I supposed the blonde screams for. It was rush hour time; and everyone stunned at thier places as she screamed so loud.
Why do people like to dramatize? Because its spice up our dull and boring life; that's why.
Clearly, I'm blocked.
Help.
Please.
Hehehe..

Honor Killing and Abuse among Woman
Then moment I'm blogging this, there is practically no students around. I'm in the verge of shouting to the suppliers who failed to deliver books on time earlier, but on the other hand, what the heck. Leave it. At least there is more room for me to get other works done.
Have you ever wondered; what drove people to hurt other people? I mean, this particular question keep popping in my vigorous mind lately after reading the headlines of some articles about abuse and honor killing. Mostly the victims are women and young girls as we all know; more vulnerable and easily captivated.
What's love and respect have to do with it? In Iraq, killing a women who is running from her abusive husband is considered honorable. Like, what is honor when you killed your own flesh and blood, after she is the one who suffered? Proud is more important than values of loveones?
Big questions there.
Womens against violence. It's cliche; but some part of this world, women doesnt really have a say in almost anything. Im not an activist nor deny the fact that women should be protected by men; but still where could women find solace when they know they cant rely on any of the grown man around her?
We have heard a lot of horrifying news regarding abuse. Is being scared of more honorable than being respected? What do you get when you have done something hurtful? Respect? Hell no. rage and anger wont solve any problems. Never ever. It is ok to spank a little; (and we're talking about children here) but it is NEVER ok to hit your girlfriend or wife or sisters. If they commiting adultery, or maybe something bad like robbing a store or something, you have every right to do so. But, if it just because she's pointing out facts that you dont like; than there is no reason to raise up your temper.
You definitely will be despise. Hate had more power when it is triggered.

Movies Review
My husband and I share the same interest; watching movies. It is the fastest therapy for tension releasing and some intimate-bonding.
Some of the movies we watch these past few days;
Lions For Lambs is a political drama that follows three storylines - Tom Cruise playing a Republican senator with Presidential ambitions sits down for an interview with a hard-nosed Washington journalist played by Meryl Streep.
In writer/director Michael Davis’ first big Hollywood project, Smith begrudgingly comes to the aid of a pregnant woman being chased by armed goons who want to kill her baby. Smith delivers the child and coolly cuts the umbilical cord with the pull of a trigger — all in the midst of an intense shootout so ludicrous that you can’t help but laugh. Here’s the action hero of action heroes, the guy who never misses, never lets ‘em see him sweat and manages to deliver the pithy one-liners (“I’m a British nanny, and I’m dangerous.”) that will inevitably become part of film lore.
Who are the goons and why do they want the baby dead? Well, that’s what passes for plot in Davis’ noir-y film. And that’s OK, too. You’re not supposed to think too deeply or care too much.
You are supposed to be disgusted and delighted by Paul Giamatti’s sadistic and twisted turn as Hertz, the bad-guy, baby-killer boss. His task is to inadvertently help Smith fill body bags by bringing in more and more bad guys to take him down.
While the performances are pretty much just right (Giamatti’s Hertz is, at times, a tad too creepy), it’s the action sequences — fast-paced, original and utterly devoid of plausibility — that hold this movie together. One sequence in particular, a hot-and-heavy motel room scene, proves that you should never, ever interrupt Smith while he’s making love to a beautiful woman.
Some of the movies we watch these past few days;
Lions For Lambs is a political drama that follows three storylines - Tom Cruise playing a Republican senator with Presidential ambitions sits down for an interview with a hard-nosed Washington journalist played by Meryl Streep.
In the next sub-plot, a political science professor at a California university, played by Robert Redford, has an inspiring chat with a promising but disillusioned student.
And in the third, two injured American soldiers, played by Derek Luke and Michael Pena, are trapped behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. Like more and more films following a similar format, in this one too, all three tracks are interwoven for a particular purpose.
But in the end, I think you'll find that the film loses steam because although it does raise a few important questions, it never does make any strong comment. Of course the film has an anti-war theme to it, but it's also too long, too verbose, and is much like a boring lecture at the end of the day.
Marvel's legendary Super Hero Iron Man Oscar nominee Robert Downey Jr. stars as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the story of a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon. Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high-tech suit of armor and escapes captivity.
When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man. Ambitious movie, the engineered-robotic scenes are similar to the Transformer movies. Still, this movie is ok to be watch esspecially by kids.
The body count gets very high very quickly (and keeps climbing) in Shoot ‘Em Up, and that’s just fine. From the first scene to the last, this ridiculously over-the-top, campy send-up of an action/adventure movie is a fun and frothy ride.
In writer/director Michael Davis’ first big Hollywood project, Smith begrudgingly comes to the aid of a pregnant woman being chased by armed goons who want to kill her baby. Smith delivers the child and coolly cuts the umbilical cord with the pull of a trigger — all in the midst of an intense shootout so ludicrous that you can’t help but laugh. Here’s the action hero of action heroes, the guy who never misses, never lets ‘em see him sweat and manages to deliver the pithy one-liners (“I’m a British nanny, and I’m dangerous.”) that will inevitably become part of film lore.
The mother’s death, from a bullet to the head, thrusts Smith into the role of “manny”; he has to keep the baby alive. It’s Three Men and a Baby, only with one man, much more testosterone and a gazillion guns and bullets. Belluci is the most beautiful thing in the movie. Too bad she’s a hooker who uses her motherly instincts for the kinky delights of the brothel patrons.
Gross.

They fail, to miserable, deadly and hilarious effect. “Do we really suck or is this guy that good?” Hertz says following a particularly inventive video game-ish stairwell shootout, where our hero picks off the bad guys like ducks in a carnival game. Smith is just that good.
While the performances are pretty much just right (Giamatti’s Hertz is, at times, a tad too creepy), it’s the action sequences — fast-paced, original and utterly devoid of plausibility — that hold this movie together. One sequence in particular, a hot-and-heavy motel room scene, proves that you should never, ever interrupt Smith while he’s making love to a beautiful woman.
Shoot ‘Em Up is purposefully, cartoonishly violent (the blood packets alone must have cost a fortune), and so outlandish that it takes you past the point of believability. That’s what makes it fun. You actually laugh when the bad guys die, and can’t wait to see how Smith will kill someone next.
Shoot ‘Em Up starts and ends with guns a-blazing, and that’s just fine.
With the influence of my husband; I am too grow to like the violence and political supremacy offered by movies. At the end of it, you feel like you want to be able to have a gun and start being a hero.
That's what we call media influence.

Rush back to PJ after some issues that need to be solve.
Weekends.
The awaited salary had just got in our account. Actively spree over some shopping of necessities and wonder how come our humble life need high maintenance charges?
That's all I've done during my spare time. Trust me there are a little bit and pieces here and there that I dont jot down to spare the boredom to myself.
I may need more than one motivational line to start back to work.
bye for now.
