An Alien With An Attitude.

So I watched Paul. And guess what.

I freakin' loved it.

Before I go all fangirly over how awesome this movie was to me, here's the basic plot (P.S: may contain spoilers) :

Writer Clive and artist Graem, are on a roadtrip across America to see areas where alien encounters were prevalent in the past. Along the way they meet titular alien, Paul, who's on the run from some men in black who're trying to harvest his brain for research purposes.


But it's all better than it sounds. Since Clive and Graem are Sci-Fi geeks (hell, they even went to Comic-con early in the movie), this movie is littered with references and shout-outs.

And PAUL. Oh God, PAUL. When I watched the trailer I was expecting him to be some sort of stereotypical "Foreign Alien" kind of alien. You know. Like ET. But boy, was I wrong by a million miles.

Paul crashed on Earth some sixty years ago, and he stayed here as a 'guest'. He presumably gave world leaders pointers on how to run their country, helped Steven Spielberg in one of his movies, and all those generic martians you see on Elementary lunch boxes? Yeah, they were based on him too.

So he's very human.

He uses profanity, smokes weed, and drinks. He's rude. Very rude.

But of course, he has a heart of gold.

So this movie has all of this and explosions, double-crossing, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. But it's not for kids.

Yep. The trailer lied. You definitely do not want to bring your kids to this movie.

And here's my lame attempt at reviewing a movie that geeks and nerds will love. Hooray.



It's Probin' Time.


And holy shiz, that CGI alien looks way real.

The Monotony That Is Life.

Here's the daily schedule of an average Singapore student:

6 AM   : Wake up, bathe, go to school without breakfast.

8 AM   : Start lessons.

2 PM   : End lessons. Go home, while maybe stopping at Sweet Talk to get a drink.

3 PM   : Chill on Facebook, Twitter, Formspring or some other generic social networking site.

8 PM   : Dinner plus homework.

12 AM  : Sleeping time.


And the cycle continues, give or take a few hours spent socializing with friends at the mall or library. And the schedule doesn't change when you become adults. Just replace the word 'school' with 'work' and you're done.

This is saddening because there's a big, beautiful world out there just waiting to be explored, embraced and cherished. But instead of running off to see this beauty we have in our hands, we focus ourselves on stuff that won't matter in twenty years to come.

Seriously. Algebra? Who uses that?

S With a Tupid Crawling Behind.

No, no, no.

You know people who claims to hate their school? Well yeah, guess what? This rant is gonna be about them.

Surprise! 

So, I'll start by saying that it's natural for some people to hate their school. "School's boring," "The teachers suck" "I don't have any friends" yadda yadda yadda. Yeah yeah, I've heard it a million times now. And I just have one thing to say to all of you emobags.

Suck it up, and get over it.

So what if your school is low class? So WHAT if the teachers always lecture you on Boy-Girl relationships? So what if the lessons are tough?

So. The. Crap. WHAT?

If you hate your school so much, then go transfer schools. Easy as pie. If your parents won't let you, then too bad. Suck it up, wuss. 

I'm seriously perplexed. Don't these people even feel a shred of guilt? Schools and teachers are sacrificing pretty much their whole lives, just to teach you subjects that are deemed important by the government for some reason. So some of them don't do a good job--people will be people. You can't expect everyone to be perfect and change to your liking. Don't they know how small and sad the teachers they hate would feel if they heard their negative comments about them?

And for those who claim to have no 'true' friends: Well, I'm sorry to hear about your angsty, anti-social life, oh Edward Cullen Jr. Why don't you stop wallowing in your sea of self-pity and actually start MAKING friends? You can't expect people to just come up to you and go "You're my next bestfriend". YOU have to make the first move. And if people hate you so much, how about you listen up to what exactly they hate about you and try to better your personality? I'm not asking you to change, but if people are hating on you because you call everyone hos or sluts, or gossip behind their backs or whatnot, then isn't it about time you stopped that sick trait of yours?

And how about, instead of whining your sorry butt off, you actually DO something to make the school a better place for yourself for once?

Okay, I'm done.  

Eyes Wide Open.

Is it wrong if I liked Paul from American Idol? He didn't deserve to be eliminated! At all. I liked his smile. A lot.

Moving on, my touch with humor is running dry. I need to find more sources of funny.

There you go folks. The boring personality of a boring person.

Slice and Dice.

Hate.

The world is filled with hate. You cannot escape it.

Everyone will be hated for one reason or another in this world. No one will be loved by every single being they encounter. It's just natural that way.

It's sad, yes, but what can you do about it? Change to suit their needs? Why on earth would you do that? Why change to something you don't want to be just to feel appreciated and loved?

The only group of people you should strive to make happy is your family, and God.

Don't let them hate you.

Simple Complication.

I like writing.

...And drawing, and nibbling on my nails, and eating sweet stuff... BUT THAT IS BESIDE THE POINT.

The point is: I like writing.

Some people say that an author always writes his lifestory or his emotions. Sometimes it might be embedded very subtly in a story. Sometimes it's quite obvious.

I prefer writing things that have little to do with romance. Maybe it's because of my lack of love life? Ah well. There is always other cooler things to write about. 

Like cats. The Mafia. Family problems. Crimes.

I like writing.
