Samba

I might have done this posting before..but I cannot remember.

Samba Pa Ti must be my anthem should one need one to remember me by. I think it fits me perfectly, besides the clear fact that I am not a Latina.

It has rock, melodrama, a bit of kitsch ( those keyboard notes!), a bit of hope and a bit of dream. It is sexy but very casual...needy but not pushy.

Sounds like me, right?

Okay...am rambling.

Gong Xi Fa Cai, people.

I usually dont believe in this stuff...but hey, it's Chinese New Year, and the Dragon is entering. So, let's just take the good, be mindful of the bad.

"2012 will be a year of career and financial gains for the Goat, you should try to save where possible throughout this year if you follow this advice and work hard and smart, you could accumulate a large sum. There could be a lot of activity this year at work; you will find that a project that has previously brought you a lot of stress and taken up a lot of your time will bring out many of your positive qualities to the attention of you and others around you. If you are going to take on a new responsibility you should be warned that you will need to learn new skills at a fast speed although this will be very beneficial to you especially if you are given the chance to go on a training course.

You will find yourself meeting a lot of new people in 2012 and you will find that you win a lot of them over with your ability to relate to others. You may meet new people this year that you could build a strong friendship with including a romantic relationship that could lead to a serious commitment.

You will benefit from learning new skills; this could be anything from reading a new book to studying a new talent. 2012 is a great time for using your initiative and going ahead with new opportunities. The Goat will take a lot of pride in their new purchases throughout this year but should remember to not make too many impulsive purchases and should not rush into buying something, as you may find that 56 inch plasma television not the best investment you made and neither is it good for the health of our planet so stay small and cautious in 2012! Make sure you research any large purchases before you commit to buying, as you may end up spending more money this year than you can afford to. If you EVER have any doubts in financial situations throughout this year, please seek advice as this could save you a great deal of time and money. Please check the annual and monthly updates and maybe even consider our Tong Shu Almanac Software for planning your spending and every other aspect for the whole year.

At home this year, you will need to have flexibility with plans as there will be a lot of activity in your home in this fast paced Dragon year. If you find it possible, take a holiday with a loved one this year, you will benefit from the change of scenery even if you do not go very far. Romance will be very good for you this year, especially if you are looking to get married. Love is very strong for the Goat in 2012 although there is the possibility that a married Goat could find a short term relationship with another person.

Those born in 1991 should spend the beginning of the year preparing for an increase in social events. Those born in 1943 should try to share their advice with friends and loved ones people they trust as they will benefit from this. Those born in 1955 need to keep an eye out for new opportunities as there will be plenty in 2012. Those born in 1967 should not linger in the past as a lot can happen for you when you are willing to move on. Those born in 1979 should spend more time with those who are close to you and take opportunities when they come along. A lost friend or even a family member that became detached may bring good news in 2012 and it is a great year to mend broken bridges, it really is worth contacting lost friends to try and reconcile, expect a great year in 2012."

Golden Girl

Am watching Golden Globe live on some website. I havent done my predictions on the blog this time round, will save it for Oscars...end of next month.

Nevertheless, am liking what I see (well, almost). Jean Dujardin won Best Comedy/Musical Actor for The Artist (I love that show!). Martin Scorsese won for Hugo --> havent seen that yet, but thank God Woody Allen didnt win for Midnight In Paris. Not a big fan of the pretentious (to me at least) existentialist flick.

Am rooting for Brad Pitt to win Best Actor (drama) but...that's pure biasness. I think Leo DiCaprio is more deserving in J.Edgar. Whatever. As long as it is not Ryan Gosling for The Ides of March. The movie is good but I think Ryan Gosling was just channeling Matthey McCoughnahey in A Time To Kill. Boring.

Okay.
Back to the Globes!

Oh it's a tiara!

The Big Bang Theory has been on a break for a few weeks and now that it's back, it tickled the toes out of my feet!

Love you guys.



Oh, it's a tiara!
A tiara!
I have a tiara!
Now put it on me!
Put it on me!
Put it on me!
Put it on me!

Albert Nobbs

Though I can enjoy silly movies once in a while (okay, sometimes more often than not), I do appreciate a serious thought-provoking slow-burners on other occasions. And, I am really really looking forward to this particular one come March...Albert Nobbs.



It's about struggle. About trying to suppress who you really are in order to fit into a biased and cruel society. And when you feel that you fit in, BAM comes something which will knock you off your perch and you come crashing down...questioning your sense of worth and existence as you tumble.

Powerful stuff.

Cannot wait.

A mess

I am feeling like crap here at work. Very low.




"You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl
Who can take down a man
And lift him back up again

You are strong but you're needy
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language
And shoddy cursive I've been reading

Your style is quite selective
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do
With your insecurities

There's no shame in being crazy
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing
This relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear

Cause here we are,
Here we are
Here we are [x7]
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Through timeless words
And priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds
Not of this earth

And times they turn
And hearts disfigure
But that's no concern
when we're wounded together

And we tore our dresses
And stained our shirts
But it's nice today
Oh the wait was so worth it"


I hope so.

Bless your soul

I dont mind getting constructive scoldings. It's always the anticipation that is killing me.

Anyway, yes, got a scolding from my boss but I guess, I kind of deserve it. It's always about me trying to play cordial with another party...building goodwill...and the boss kind of saw it. But I do have my reasons. I'm the one dealing with the other party and I thought it would be a good PR move.

I forgot.
I wasnt a PR person.
My boss wasn't a PR person.
The other party wasnt a client/advertiser.

Not used to being good to others with a motive. I'm a goodwill, ambassadorial kind of person. I'm Miss Congeniality, dammit.

But yes.
I live and I learn.
Thank God I have a positive heart.
Bless my parents.

Back at one

Scholesy's back

Tell your friend...

Mix feelings. Love this ginger but I doubt he's what Man Utd need right now.

I won't give up

I have heard this tune before. It comes from Christina Perri, Damien Rice, Connor Reeves, Switchfoot and many others who swear by love. Yet, Mraz always gains the upper-hand to make it sweet and more meaningful.



I am not crazy over it. But it does provoke my thoughts on this drabby Thursday afternoon. I have never fought for love, always choosing to disappear when things get messy or difficult.

Maybe...just maybe...I should try harder in the next one.

Maybe.
