Have you guys watched “THE VAMPIRE DIARIES“?

You know my current addiction & obsession is the series GLEE. I’m not the kind who likes to watch a serious drama. Glee was the first drama after millennium that caught my interest. I was never into the popular series like Lost, Heroes, The O.C, Supernatural etc They bore me to death. The last series I was really into was ‘Charmed‘. Each of the series I used to love have some sort of special attraction – like Charmed has the lovely cast, interesting stories and added humor along with the magical stuff.. Glee had the humor, interesting story & cast and the songs… but never I thought  I’d be addicted to THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.

I came to know about THE VAMPIRE DIARIES almost the same way as Glee. It was random. I was at the DVD store when I was buying Glee DVD and saw a DVD box for THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. The cover looked interesting and actually thought the cast looks hot so I wanted to buy it. However, at that time, the series hasn’t ended yet. It was still running in the US so the DVD was a bootleg copy of incomplete series. I didn’t buy it but thought I’d download the pilot episode first to see if it’s interesting. Sadly to say, just like Glee, it felt flat to me. The pilot didn’t keep me interested long enough to watch it. So I watched halfway and the file remained in the folder for quite a while. Then my friend mentioned that he’s also watching it and it’s interesting and I tried watching the pilot again… couldn’t finish watching it Just like Glee, I’ve tried a few times to watch the pilot episode but couldn’t keep myself still until the end.

Well until local channel 8TV was showing it a few months ago so I thought hey, this is a good chance! I don’t have to download and I’ll just keep watching it. So I finally watched the pilot episode. It was interesting but it’s just normal. I mean, it was not extraordinary. The cast was so-so. Seems like it’s a typical series about 2 vampire brothers and a girl. However they’re likable and good looking. I decided to give the 2nd episode a chance.

THE STORY

At first it’s a basic, cliche story. I thought it’d be something for teens. It’s basically about a girl named Elena Gilbert who lives in a town called Mystic Falls. She meets and falls in love with a super cute new student Stefan Salvatore who turns out to be a century old vampire. Then come Damon Salvatore, Stefan’s evil brother who has been gone for 15 years and was shocked to see Elena who is a lookalike of their past lover, Katherine Pierce back in 1864. As the story progress, more history about the vampires in Mystic Falls is revealed, and Elena finds out more shocking secrets of herself and her relation to Katherine.

I actually thought it’s just another vampire stories and gosh, it’s like a trend especially since it comes out after the success of Twilight but the series is actually based from a book of the same name that was written way before Twilight was written. The cast of the series are actually super gorgeous. Also the more the story progress, the better it gets. This series actually improves as it goes on and draws you in more and more. That’s how my addiction started! It’s very rare for a series that started off so-so actually progress to become extremely good! The characters became interesting… like Bonnie, Elena’s best friend turns out to be a witch. Jeremy, Elena’s brother was in love with Vicky who was turned into a vampire then killed by Damon and he yearns to be turned into a vampire too. Of course we have the history – Katherine and the rest of the clan like Pearl who is resurrected after 145 years.

GOOD GOD. This series has so much lust and passion that it’s driving me NUTS! (in a good way). My God. The thing about vampires is that they’re a damn good seducer and of course they’re supposed to be very gorgeous. It was very hard for me to sit still and watch in peace without having perverted thoughts about Damon every seconds -_____- Damon has the exact characteristics of my fantasy guy :\

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES vs TWILIGHT SAGA

I thought at first that this is just the same as Twilight. I mean, high school girl falling in love with a new guy.. like how Bella Swan is the new girl and Edward falling in love with her.. then there’s the all forbidden love thing between the mortal and the immortal.. takes place in a small town with a history of vampires. Vampires that can go out in the daytime except Edward glitters under the sun haha The Salvatore brothers has a special ring that allows them to walk out during the daytime. But hell no, the series is so much better than Twilight. I’m a fan of Twilight but this series make Twilight looks like it’s for sissies and so is Edward.

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has so much stories. It can get a bit confusing at times though. There’s quite a lot of subplot and doesn’t only evolve around Elena & Stefan. The series also is not a toned down version of a vampire story for the sissies. You see real action, you see brutal death, you see fights, you see emotions, etc. The best thing is that there’s no rivalry for the main couple. I mean gosh, in every movies you see the main couple and there’s always a rival that wants to snatch the girl away.. like the triangle love between Bella, Edward and Jacob. But nobody cares about Stefan & Elena. Even when Elena has a past lover and Stefan with Katherine, but they’re not emo about the past. Damon also is not crazy about Elena even though there’s a hint of secret love for her. We’re not focusing on them but on the vampires & history of Mystic Falls. However there is a sibling rivalry because turns out Stefan & Damon were in love with Katherine and Damon blames Stefan for Katherine’s ‘death’.

The story also has a lot of surprises and twists that you can never expect what’s gonna happen. There’s always something new, or secrets revealed that makes you go, ‘wtf’. Oh and the main thing to repel a vampire in the series is ‘vervain‘. It’s a herb to paralyze a vampire and can protect the human from mind control. Stefan gave Elena a necklace containing vervain to protect her from Damon’s mind control and also from other vampires.

ELENA GILBERT vs BELLA SWAN

Elena Gilbert is played by Nina Dobrev. I absolutely love her. She’s cute and pretty and Elena is a lot less annoying than Bella. Gosh, I can’t stand Bella. She’s way too emo, angsty, indecisive, confused, lost, annoying, and all around mood killer. She’s never happy and the ‘forbidden love’ thing with Edward is way over the top. She’s just waaaaay too annoying.

Now Elena. She’s more focused. She knows what she wants. She’s a strong girl. And Nina is such a good actress. Okay, there are times when Elena can get a bit annoying but it’s not to such extent where it’s down right repulsive like Bella. She’s not emo all the time and from all the things that’s happening to her, she’s one tough cookie.

Nina is absolutely GORGEOUS when she play as Katherine. I just fricken adore the clothings and she plays Katherine so well. Katherine is the major seducer who seduced both Stefan and Damon and is a badass chick (ok she’s a vampire who turned them). Katherine’s part turns me on so badly because hello, you get to have fun with 2 gorgeous boytoys who are deeply smitten by you… ding dong! Hello! Major fantasy come true! Have I mentioned I ADOOOORE the costumes?

STEFAN SALVATORE vs EDWARD CULLEN

Hmmm Stefan & Edward. Both have quite the similarities. Both are gorgeous but duh, vampires are supposed to be gorgeous anyway. They can be out in the daytime. They love a high school girl and thought about leaving her for her safety but couldn’t because the love is too strong. They did the nasty with a mortal. They’re both the ‘good’ vampires, which means they don’t kill humans and feed on them. Of course they can hear thoughts and they’re fast as hell.

Not much difference between them except Stefan stands out more than Edward.. Edward is more of a sissy, sorry. The best part is when Stefan is being tortured by other vampires, and Elena gave him her blood to save him and after that he’s been craving blood and has powerful strength and good God, HIS BODY AND HIS MUSCLES. woof woof. *fans self* Edward’s body cannot be compared to Stefan haha.

Basically Stefan has the ‘good boy’ image… he’s always serious looking, a bit sombre, but has a charming smile..very sexy and oh yeah the hot body. Paul Wesley is also friggin hot.

PS: I have always loved the name Stefan. I’m gonna name my kid that >.<

DAMON SALVATORE

GOOD LORD!

How can someone be this ridiculously sexy & insanely gorgeous?!?

Like seriously. Damon Salvatore is an epitome of every girl’s fantasy, well at least mine. He’s the bad boy who shows no remorse. He’s the powerful vampire that other vampires fear. He has the ability to charm you, seduce you, manipulate you then snap, kill you. But yet, there’s something else about him that is a mystery…

Ian Somerhalder plays Damon so fricken well, it’s unreal. Damon is the major reason why I’m so addicted to the show. He has the ability to seduce a human and compels them to do whatever he tells you to do, and the ability to erase the memory. I don’t know… is it the bright blue eyes and that killer, sharp, seductive looks that managed to really charm me for real? Is it the smile? Is it the badass look? Is it the mysterious & sexy look? Or the image of a suffering, tortured soul? Whatever it is, Damon is one hell of a hot vampire and I would instantly & willingly give myself to him, hahaha.

The thing I love about him is that, at the beginning we see this one very angry vampire who has a deep hatred towards his brother with a tough, bad boy look. He kills the human and has no remorse whatsoever. But as the show progress, his character develops. We see a more ‘vulnerable‘ side of him. Maybe he’s actually longing for something, like an acceptance? There are moments when you want to pity him.. moments when you hope and thought he could change.. moments when he seems to be a good guy. That’s why he’s so irresistible.  But the eyes.. the EYES.. can’t… look… away… Gosh is it hot in here?

He also used to be closed to Stefan until Katherine was taken away because of Stefan so he spent over a decade blaming and hating him. He also maybe have a feeling towards Elena since she’s the splitting image of Katherine.

Sorry for Damon pictures spam. I want his pics in my blog :P I just can’t believe how he exactly fit my own fantasy guy :P The badass/bad boy look, wearing all black + black jacket (it just screams pure orgasmic), mysterious, sexy, seductive, charming yet with a hint of passion, vulnerability, suffering, emo, tortured soul.. *sighs* He’s such a perfect sexy beast.

Can never have enough pictures of the Salvatore brothers ;D

Well apart from the obvious main characters there are other supporting characters that are cute too.. like Elena’s brother Jeremy. He’s very cute.  Okay I think I’ve spammed enough pictures in here. I can’t wait for season 2 to start next month! I have 4 more episodes to watch for season 1 which I’ll watch tomorrow. Been watching it for hours today. I thought I’d wait and watch in local tv but no, couldn’t control myself :\

I want to read the books but I have like piled up books that I have yet to read -_____- Before I end this post, I’ll post a video from one of the episodes of Damon and Vicki dancing.. geebus cripes I think this has got to be the sexiest dancing I have ever seen on a tv series! SDJHSJKFHNKLSDSLKJDOSIUD GODDAMMIT DAMON. I wish I could dance like Vicki.

This video is too sexy and too hot for my own good.
Excuse me while I go take an ice cold shower for 2 hours -____-

I DESPISE remakes of the classic horror movies. I hate them. They always butcher the classic. Till this day, I have yet to find a good remake of a classic horror film. I was shocked to know that they’re remaking one of my fave classic 80′s vampire flicks of all time – FRIGHT NIGHT. WTF. Not Fright Night too! -___-

Fright Night is a teen vampire flick (oh no, do NOT think of Twilight) that tells the story of Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) who is a big fan of Peter Vincent, a TV celebrity who host a show called ‘Fright Night’ and calls himself The Vampire Killer. One night he saw something suspicious about his new neighbor, and eventually believes that his neighbor is a vampire. His gf Amy (Amanda Bearse) and his buddy Evil Ed (Stephen Geoffreys) don’t believe him of course. So trying to stop their friend’s crazy imagination, they asks the help of Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall) to prove to Charley that Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon) is not a vampire but found out the truth.. so later Jerry would kidnap Amy, and Charley and Peter join forces to stop the vampire once and for all and save Amy.

Now, I fear how they’re gonna butcher this movie in the remake which will be shown 2011. HOWEVER… I have heard that DAVID TENNANT will be playing Peter Vincent. OMG. If David is playing, no matter how shitty the movie is, I’ll love it!

I abso-fucking-lutely LOVE David Tennant. He’s totally fuckable. He’s well known as the 10th Doctor from the series Dr. Who, and also appeared as a villain in the Harry Potter & The Goblet of Fire. Absolutely adore his Scottish accent ;D

Now the thing is, I don’t know how well he’s going to portray Peter Vincent.. well I can imagine him being in that character though, because he was good in Dr. Who but  Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Evil Ed?!?!?! SERIOUSLY?? Don’t get me wrong, I like him but seeing him in Superbad and Role Models, he’s so totally not Evil Ed. Stephen Geoffreys was awesome as Evil Ed (he’s also fricken cute, was a fan of him for few years since I was 10, ignoring the fact that he went and did gay porn -__- ), and the character is a bit wacky and crazy, badass, innocent, funny etc.. Chris as badass? Uhhhh……. Oh no, I so cannot see Chris playing as Evil Ed x____x

CUTTTEEEEYYY.. You’re so cool, Brewster!

Evil Ed’s lines that became catch phrases in the 80′s – “To what do I owe this dubious pleasure?” & “You’re so cool, Brewster!“. You see, Evil Ed is special. He’s not ordinary. He seems like a badass, but not.. he also seems innocent and you want to pity him.. you won’t understand what I’m talking about if you haven’t seen the movie. Now all those characteristics are going to be portrayed by —-

– him?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??. Like seriously! I’m speechless. I mean come on, out of all actors in the world, HIM? No offense.. but urrrrghh. I just can see him as ‘nerdy, dorky, geek, loser, goofy, klutz, mentally challenged, funny, slow’ kind of characters.. but NOT Evil Ed X____X Like chud.com, this article also agrees that “EVIL ED WOEFULLY MISCAST IN FRIGHT NIGHT REMAKE“. Maybe they’re rewriting the character to be different..

And Collin Farrell as Jerry Dandridge the vampire?? Hmmm.. I have doubts, because Chris Sarandon had this some sort of sexy seductive look as all vampires should have that totally can make you swoon… so Collin Farrell? Hmmmmmm………….. I have no comment on the actor that’s going to play Charley Brewster.

Well, I just can’t wait to see David as Peter Vincent.. it would be veeeeeeeery interesting The only thing I can look forward to because they killed Evil Ed..  Unless they make him look very old just like Roddy McDowall’s version of Peter Vincent then uh.. rotten tomato anyone?

David Tennant = YUMMAAAAAYYYY

Roddy McDowall as Peter Vincent (right) = NOT YUMMAAY

I feel like watching Fright Night now.. wow surprisingly my broadband is still connected for like 3 hours now.. oh and suddenly I just remembered that my friend mentioned paying for car insurance reminded me that I need to renew my driving license this month.. NOTE TO SELF! Oh and buy some mosquito repellent mats.

Oh yeah, football/soccer fever has started! .. Too bad I’m no longer interested in football like I used to be when I was younger..

Last Wednesday, I had an eye exam at the college’s new faculty in the morning. I’ve been having bad allergic reactions since I’ve been in KL since 2006. So i’ve been doing a lot of rubbing on my eye. So I got worried and since the new Faculty of Optometry & Vision Sciences is opened and they offer free full eye exam at the moment, so I said why not, right? I mean it’s free. So I went to set up an appointment.

The eye exam took like an hour because it was a thorough eye exam. So you know the usual stuff – they used the machines to check the eyes, the vision, then the blurriness, check for color blind etc.. it did take like an hour-ish for it to finish. So the verdict? I’m short sighted. Which I already know.. and told him my glasses have been crooked for like ages, so I’d need a new one, but their place to sell it haven’t opened yet so he’ll give me a call when it does. Other than that, nothing wrong, which is quite a surprise to me since I’ve been having a lot of allergies. He did say I have like tiny bumps on the lid or something, which means I do have allergies so better to go to clinic to get it checked. They can only give artificial tear drop but it would be just a temporary relief.

Finished at 12 pm. Then I called my friend and we went to Ikea for lunch and had hotdog. Their hotdog and curry puffs are ‘the awesomeness’. The only cheap alternatives when you’re so damn broke haha.

SHREK 4 THE FINAL CHAPTER 3D

I was supposed to pick mom up to send to the clinic after lunch hour, but after countless tries phoning her and she didn’t pick up, I decided to watch a movie with Claudia. She wanted to watch Kick-Ass while I want to watch Shrek in 3D. You see, I’ve been a fan of Shrek movies, and since Hollywood now are so crazy with the 3D trend, I thought hey, why not watch Shrek in 3D. Besides, I want to watch it in 3D before I go back to my hometown next week because the cinema at my hometown is sooooooo lame that they don’t have 3D. Kick-Ass movie is no longer showing so it was either Shrek or A Nightmare on Elm Street. Oh I so wanna watch Nightmare on Elm Street because I wanna see how they remake the classic – even though it won’t be the same as original as Freddy isn’t played by Robert Englund (he’s the only best Freddy!) and no hot young Johnny Depp :P But Claudia didn’t want to watch scary movie so I had to force her to watch Shrek in 3D :P After all the forcing and pleading she gave in hehehehe.

I don’t want to give extensive review on the movie because I have another website for my movie reviews. The movie is good! It’s soooo hilarious. I actually love this better than the 3rd one. On the 3D review, I love watching movies in 3D. Some says 3D sucks because you don’t get like stuff coming towards you and make you go WHOOOAAA, but it’s not all about that. 3D gives you the depth also.. makes the surrounding and characters come to life as if you’re there instead of flat 2D. There are some scenes where you feel the elements go ‘out of the screen’ like smoke, those magic particles.. and like stuff almost coming to you. Overall, 3D Shrek is better than 3D Alice in Wonderland. I’ve also watched Nightmare before Christmas 3D before and it was awesome because you see the snow falls right in front of you.. the verdict? Watch in 3D if it’s ANIMATION MOVIE, but don’t watch 3D if it’s just a normal movie unless you don’t care about the effect, and just want the depth.

I wonder how they’re gonna make the last Harry Potter’s movie in 3D? They better make it good!

My favorite part of Shrek 4 is when Puss in Boots give the sad puppy dog eyes to Donkey 3 times! OMG I couldn’t stop laughing at that! OMG thinking of it now makes me laugh. That’s the funniest part ever because when my Ipoh friend and I watched the first Shrek movie, we couldn’t stop talking about how Puss in Boots did the sad eyes in the first movie.. now they made it longer so it’s even more hilarious.

Go watch Shrek 4! It’s t3h-awesomeness!

Oh yeah, while waiting for Shrek 4, we spent a long time at Daiso and discovered a new toy that is so addictive.

MOVE A BALL: BRAIN TRAINING
ムービングボール脳を活性化！

We spent a long time playing this at Daiso until after the movie, I decided to get this!

This is Claudia (her hand actually) playing with it after I bought it. When we played with it in Daiso, everybody was looking at how crazy we were with a baby rattle looking thing in our hands. So what the hell is this? It’s actually a brain training game!

How do you play this? If you can’t read the Japanese, I’ll roughly translate it for you. Basically it says the aim of the game is to have one color separated at each sides. So you have to start with all the balls mixed up at one side, then shake/roll/swing whatever you like to move one color to the other side. I find it easier to play once you have the toy out of the packaging and I find it easier to roll instead of shaking the thing. For example, you want to have blue colored balls at the right side and orange colored ball at the left side. When it’s done, it looks like this!

Done!

Haha I love that girl cartoon! That’s how I look like when I play the toy. It makes you frustrated, it makes you cuss, it makes you happy, it makes you giggle.. basically the toy will fuck with your head. Haha. Love it.

Only in Daiso! Geez, the Japanese and their crazy inventions.. even a simple toy that looks like a baby rattle that cost RM 5 (100 yen, or around USD 1+) can make you addicted. But it’s fun, so what the hell. I actually played with this when I went shopping with mom after that and everybody was looking at me.

Oh I also got the book “Pride & Prejudice & Zombies“.. yay! Finally. I love anything with zombies. I’ve read “I am Scrooged: A Zombie Story for Christmas” before and I loved it! I’m the kind of person who hates reading books unless it’s very interesting.. so zombies? Of course it’s interesting Since I have not read the original Pride & Prejudice, so this is the time right? With a little bit of zombies to add the spice.

So I went at college at almost 2 pm, met up with my friend and waited until 3 pm.. then there met up with my other friends, camwhored, then after receiving my cert, we left, lol and went to Curve/e@Curve to watch a movie. We wanted to watch ‘How to train your dragon’ in 3D but 3D is no more! Wtf. And only seats left were from second row and having experience sitting in second row before, hurting my neck and eyes, we waited until the booked seats were released.. so we went to eat at Sakae Sushi first.

The movie was awesome! It’s actually very entertaining and funnier than I thought.. although I almost fell asleep because I was tired (woke up at 4 am), but I managed to stay awake throughout the whole movie… and the whole experience would’ve been awesome except that they were some kids who were making noises the WHOLE TIME and pisses me off.. it was so annoying! I felt like strangling the kids.. and the parents… if the kids are the kind that cries or make noises a lot, why bother bringing them to a movie?? It’s not like they would watch the movie! Geez.

So anyways, after that we went to Tesco and I got home at around 11 pm..
I was supposed to do stuff today but I ended up sleeping the whole day, wtf.

Do we have cell phone repeater here?

It’s a malaysian reality tv show where each week contestants would have to make a standup comedy in front of live audience for 2 minutes and the not-so-funny ones will be voted out. I thought season 1 and 2 were great and funny.. the best did win.. even though in season one Yus won (whom I did not find quite as funny) but we see now the runner up and the 3rd place winner, Zizan and Johan or Jozan being the popular ones… seasons 2 gave us the TRUE king of comedy, Nabil. Whenever I watch Nabil, I could not stop laughing. His jokes aren’t lame, and he never resort to toilet humor where those lame comedians thought jokes about dirty stuff such as fart or anything is funny.. IT’S NOT. It’s not only disgusting but it’s NOT FUNNY. The 3rd season gives us Sepah.. whom out ALL the contestants in season 3, they’re the only ones that’s funny. I still can’ get over how Amir got into the final and won 3rd place when week after week I feel like punching that retarded midget.

Season 4

Where should I start? Well there’s not much to say except the contestants aren’t funny at all, jokes are lame.. overall it has gone to the bottom of the hell. IT’S STUPID. It’s not funny. What the hell is this? It’s supposed to be a show in search of comedians but what do we get? They all are not fit to be a comedian. I repeat, THEY ARE NOT FUNNY AT ALL. Everytime I turn on the TV, I feel like either throwing my tv out the window or kill myself.

Judges

What. The. Eff.
Why did they change the judges? No, they’re not funny at all with their comments. I’m sorry, I’m a huge fan of Afdlin Shauki, Bob Lokman and Din Beramboi but er no.. with them, the show now feel as if it’s just a stupid show. Everything is a joke. It’s not serious. I so prefer the old judges, the veterans..veterans won’t tolerate toilet humor unlike new judges would. What I don’t think is funny, they think it’s hilarious. I don’t get it.

Seriously, stupid shows like this makes me have high blood pressure, pisses me off to no end… I’m just waiting for my blood vessels to burst from all the stupidity. There shouldn’t be a season 5 because it sucks unless they reorganize the show again and FIND FUNNY CONTESTANTS instead of stupid ones. Audience laugh because stupid Malaysians like toilet humor.. they have no sense of good humor. I mean come on, they all laugh and voted for Amir… he’s a good example of MENTAL RETARDATION. A disgrace to the comedy world.
