Netflix Update 5

I said 'final' like this will be the last of Netflix endeavor. 

Kita gelak ramai2. 😂😂

I just thought the ones I'm gonna share today needs it's own post.

the Princess Switch. featuring Vanessa Hudgens. and just Vanessa Hudgens.

1.

2018. The Princess Switch.

I rewatched this last weekend and thought, yo, this gives me Grand Budapest vibe but only during the baking part.

kinda cliche ish but still good.

I don't know. the acting is cool. last time a twin played by the same person this good was Lindsay Lohan in ParentTrap.

Storyline kinda so-so. 

A baker, Stacy, from Chicago becomes a Princess Belgravia. like I said, cliche but still an acceptable storyline to this day.

8/10 for that convincing acting.

oh they did explain how they become so look-a-like. Apparently there was an old great great cousin who rebelled and moved from Montenaro to America. something like that.

2.

2020. The Princess Switch Switched Again.

Again, I rewatch this last weekend and I was confused. How come in the first movie she a Duchess / Lady Margeret and now she is preparing to be Queen?!

Sekali rupanya there's an explanation about how the Former King of Montenaro passed on and the Son abdicated and the next in line to the throne was Margeret. okie. 

the storyline was better? but still cliche. now the story is about the future Queen's problem being with someone below her rank. 

the extra twist? another look-a-like. and I think its the best character out of the three, Lady Fiona Pembroke (that last name is foreshadow lol. I really thought it'd be spelled like Pamborough or something).

another 8/10 for Lady Fiona character. lol

3.

2021. I mean, how far can you stretch the story imma right?

The Princess Switch 3 Romancing the Star.

and I really thought there's going to be a celebrity in it. titled can be misleading.

For this third and I hope the last installment of this franchise, the story revolve around Pembroke. and ap

parently Pemmy is the cute nickname after Fiffy. LOL these writers sometimes.

as previously mentioned, I like Lady Fiona character. So this focus on her is awesome. Except one thing that erk me.

I know right now people be like all inclusive but this movie makes me realize how in your face it is. yes, I'm talking about race. I guess she just trying to produce movies that includes people, like Cinderella version with Brandy. Where the Prince is Asian, the Queen is black, and the King is white. I mean, applause.

but really my initial reaction when I watched this movie was "dammm sh be getting all of them; white, black, asian lol" and did you know that she Philipino? Stacy mentioned that her family in Philipines do hugs. So I Googled and in real life, Vanessa is Philipino. I really didn't know that.

anyway, it's not a bad thing. about the race. I'm just amused. that is all. 🤭 8/10 as well. yeah. just 8. its the cliche that I just can't knock on.

4. Extras!

A Castle for Chrismas.

Ok this I just watched. It was again a cliche. that hallmark kinda chrismas movie but on Netflix.

it's about this writer who become hated for killing one of her book character and she took a vacation to Scotland. Really nice with that change of scenery at least. but still a fuckin cliche.

what gets me excited was the cameos!!! If you have watched the three movies above, you'll know who I was talking about; the Prince butler and the Lady turned Queen lady in waiting/ nanny. I was excited with their entry. I didn't understand until the movie ends that they just there as cameos. ( I read somewhere today that there's a name for this; the Netflix Holiday Universe Cameos)

I give it 8/10 coz Scotland!!

Ok, that is all. until next time.

Netflix Update 3

 woah. that last post ended so abruptly. it ended just how it started, awkward. 😘

On today's post, I'm going to update you with what I've been watching on Netflix thus far. I'm sure I missed some titles but those probably are not important *badumtsstt*

I should first update that it is now cost me $11 a month subscribing to Netflix. I feel like I wanted to join some other subscription too like Disneyplus and HBOMax but I don't know. I barely open my Netflix as it is. we'll see. go on and ask me why I want to subscribe to Disneyplus and HBOMax? 😝 (Answer: Hawkeye series and Harry Potter 20th anniversary)

first update, I have not watch Anne with an E. for some reasons, I keep putting it off. 🤷

should we start with the mediocre rating first?

we should.

lesgo.

1. 

Back to the Outback.

umm so.

it's a cute one but storyline kinda nawrrr.

I was questioning why nobody really noticed these group of animal walking around in the city in pack. Laik, THEY HAVE VIBRANT COLORS! They only noticed when the story wanted them to. Laik. no.

I kinda caught on to the human character being scatchy (coz at first I thought this movie was base loosely on Steve Irwin but the character sounded so fake and turns out *dun dun dun*) and I was right.

They tried to give me moral in the end but I was not buying it. I'm sure all animals are love

but predators will remain predators.

4/10 for the colorful aspect of the stories.

2. 

on Netflix, the English title was Green Snake. but as the opening credit starts, the lettering in Chinese mention '2' so I was curious if there's a part one. but nada on my Netflix.

but the story is a sequel. on imdb it says 'White Snake 2: Green Snake' and when you scrolled down, it did mention an animation called White Snakes with the same characters from this one. Sooo, confirm, its just not on my Netflix (TIME TO DOWNLOAD NORDVPN).

anyway, cool storyline. I was doing folding my laundry when I was watching this so I watched it from a far most of the time. Basically i just listened. Only turning my head to the screen when ada action. It feels like it was from a game or something. I didn't google deep yo. I am not sure. 😗 anyway, cool storyline and the history or legend behind the pagoda and also incarnations. 8/10 for the graphics. the -2 is for the lips not matching the words. I just checked. rupanya, I watched with English dubbed. patut. I thought about it but I only realized the words not syncing with the lips towards the end, so I didnt bother. 

3. 

Wish Dragon.

Mushu 2.0!!

actually it's more Aladdin but Chinese version. Instead of Genie, we have a dragon.

I found out about this becoz David So was voicing one of the character. it was only seconds but that seconds got me to watch.

Lupa ku bila I watched this but its not this month. Maybe in Aug/Sep. Anyway, storyline really Aladdin; poor guy, wanting to impress a rich girl so he wished to be looking rich too. Plot twist nya really something. Either I wasn't really read into it but it really was unexpected. 8/10 for being cute and Asian.

Actually. I watched a lot of this Chinese made cartoon. I know I mostly watch becoz Mulan 1998. but they have their own charms.

• Over The Moon
• Abominable - I remember this made me cry so bad.
• The Guardian Brothers
• Next Gen

That is all I can find yg I already watch. too bad Netflix don't have history tab. anyway, moving on.

4. 

A Boy Called Chrismas.

Ok this is just another 'supposedly' Santa Claus origin story. 

Professor McGonagall was in it. Professor Slughorn too.

😆

Unlike Klaus, this movie involve magic. So it's kind a no to me. but it is still warm to me. 

Especially the part where your parents do just about everything for you, to save you.

Even with that, storyline kinda weak?

I understand how we go from wanting to find hope to just end up being violence but why? is that necessary?

6/10 for the mouse character. LOL

Ok this is getting too long. I will continue with series on the next post. see ya there.

Korean doppelganger

Start Up actors that reminds me of NCT members;

I thought Kim SeonHo looked like an older version of Jungwoo way back during 100 Days my Prince. 

i just haven't got the energy to mention it here. and by that I meant, I was lazy. lol

. . .

Netflix updates

I mentioned in my previous post about Netflix that it cost me BND13, well, it actually cost me BND14. hmm thanks foreign money exchange.

I think I used it fairly often. and its been releasing my old time fav movies, like the Mummy, the Mummy Return, The Covenant. I finally watched the full Divergent trilogy.  pastu, just recently ada The Day After Tomorrow. I mean, I have watched that movie on DVD for like probably 100 times over but still a good movie.

Now, what I managed to watch (I said manage, but really I mean, when aku ada mood kn liat) thus far:

1. Kingdom. 

I knew it was a zombie series and I don't really like zombie movies/series but I make an acception becoz the movie was set in Joseon era, I think, and I quite like the theory of it. 10/10 will watch season when it came out but there is no news when the 3rd season gonna be made. ending in season 2 is annoying. I need to know what's next.

2. Locke and Key. 

the start was a little 'erm. what?' 

but as I continued to watch, I like it and became intrigue. but the key thing makes me uncomfortable soo..yeah..tis magic and if you like that element, you shud give it a try.

3. Ju-On. 

ok this was very disappoiting. like, why. I just wanna know the origin and they did go there but in the end, no. they make it more fucked up than it already is. it was a waste of my time. ahahaha yea! I am angry. it doesn't give closer! I hate it so much that I didn't even get scared. Ok, it did, the first episode. tapi lapas tu, nyeh. reeled me in and then make a fool of me. fu.

4. the babysitter 1&2. 

1

2

ok these two are actually very chic-flick lol I like. funny and stupid and sometimes unfattenable, but make a cheap good movie. Bella Thorne is actually a decent actress.

5. Enola Holmes. 

NOW WE'RE TALKING. this one is THE.BEST. of Netflix releases. I once said in a post that Klaus is the best of Netflix. well, now, its Enola Holmes. if they give the same energy in their other movies as this one, I will love netflix more. but I'm probably just bias, coz I like Downye Jr version of Sherlock Holmes a lot.

6. Mortal Engine. 

I like the concept. I like the idea of a world a thousand years into the future. but why the metal machine gotta look like bugs? also, the machine reminds of Studio Ghibli's Howl's Moving Castle. maybe they got the inspiration from that? I think this was from a book as well, so maybe it is? another weak ending for me. like, I don't get it. I did watch it when I wasn't really in the mood. sooo...not a fair assessment I guess?

7. Start-Up. 

kdrama. 16 episodes saja. I begin watching when there were just 4 episodes. LOL I stopped becoz I thought before aku start obsessing, lets stop and wait for the rest of the episodes kana load on Netflix. I love the idea (mcm that Google movie) behind it, the storyline was good, and I actually like the ending. I don't like the extended ending tho. unnecessary. 10/10 no regrets. also, dam sponsors/product placements were excessively subtle. LOL

in conclusion, I am still subscribed to Netflix. 😂😂

. . .

Monster

hi Geng!

August is here. and my Bujo theme is done. but I will post them after this post.

on today's post, I'm gonna be sharing another SM fav! and by favorite I mean, in song title;

MONSTER

Red Velvet subunit: Irene & Seulgi made a debut with the song Monster. again, I prefer not to watch the music video when trying to like a song and what do you know? it is a bob.

then days later, I thought, oh! here's another '3 similarity MTV' style thing. SM released 3 songs titled Monster since I first became a fan of kpop.

1. by: Super Junior

album: Sorry, Sorry

year: 2009

2. by EXO

album: Ex'Act

year: 2016

3. by Irene&Seulgi, Red Velvet sub-unit.

album: Monster EP

year: 2020 (duh~ LoL)

I told you SM is kinda lazy. I mean, in trying to find a different song title.

also, finally understands what EP means:

andddd

I will make a series out this '3 similar' thing. 

Errors! and it became a rant.

Ok, before we carry on talking about WayV full album comeback (next post), I just wanna say, The New Blogger board is confusing. I am not so high-tech for that kind of changes, so I revert to the old one. 

my Park Chanyeol post was published 3 times before I realized there were errors on it. my fourth try was when I revert to the old board and finally posting like normal. like what even! 

My problems were:-

Labels: I can't figure out how to add on from my existing labels.

Schedule time and date of a post: erm..I chose my time and date (this one is for my Bag post) but when I clicked 'Publish' it became a draft. 

with the old board, if I clicked Publish, the post will marked as Scheduled.

so, what gives?

Youtube video share: again, Park Chanyeol post. I used Embedded as always but why the codes are published instead of the videos? why?

Yes, ranting a little bit here. I know, unnecessary. 

I've been followed by strange accounts on Instagram (pilots and male), I received email saying i request to reset password which I didn't, ended up resetting my password anyways as advised, and my heart almost stopped when I try logging in and my feed was like empty but turned out, it was just bad connection!

It's been crazy! this happened during my 1.5 days leave from work after 3 months of no leave allowed (coz we on split team, meaning both sites had limited staff working. that I will try and rant on another post). You would think, crazy things happened before the leave! No~ it gotta happened when my brain tried to relax!

Anyway,

I revert to the old board and is now posting like usual. maybe later I will youtube on how to use the new one. someone must've shared something on that changes.

ok, bye.

. . .

Park Chanyeol

hi Guys,

I know. it's getting harder and harder to be motivated these days. not even gonna blame the pandemic. Coz we both know, I've been like this way since forever 😂

Today tho!

To👏🏻day👏🏻!

I'm going to share with you something that was inspired by a post on IG.

EXO Chanyeol.

Yes, kpop. boohoo.

My blog, my choice.

wawawa

anyway, Park Chanyeol is EXO rapper, vocalist, and tall man. I don't know. all I know is he has nice voice and on variety shows, he funny.

The IG post that I came across was a comment by someone about how Chanyeol maybe a rapper, but he also has such a nice voice for normal singing. (coz I feel like rapping is just singing fast lol don't come at me).

which I totally agree.

I've always been a fan of EXO from the beginning (SM bias and all), maybe I never went full on EXO-L, but honestly, I've always been listening to their songs since the beginning. Yes, I have my bias, or biases, but they chances all the time. but Chen aka Jongdae is always in that top 3.

back to their songs, I'm the type to download an entire album when they were released just so I can add to my collections of songs and maybe find a new favorite other than the title track. 

When I was reading that IG post, I was like, yeah~ a couple of songs that I came to like and become a favorite are all thanks to Chanyeol voice! Both his raps and his singing. seriously!

here's the said songs:

Sweet Lies

Jekyll

I mean, when either songs started, honestly, I would skipped. LOL the only reason I came to like them is becoz I happened to listen to them as I was drifting off to sleep. For some reason, at that point in time, my brain was like, "this is actually such a good song!" and they become a favorite the next day onwards. 

for Jekyll, the part that got me was, "I..shut you down!" and as I'm listening to it as I'm preparing this, I just went 'huh..atu saja?' and I told myself I'm hard to impress? but Chanyeol just said "shut you down!" and I'm sold? what?! hahaha

I have more justification with Sweet Lies. that entire rap part with Sehun, yes. Definitely impressive. I went from not knowing the song exist (for some reason I skipped Power period, and Sweet Lies came with Power) to THIS IS FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥

In conclusion, a single line in a song can change someone's opinion of that song especially when you were in drowsy state.

wait. am I brainwashed? 🤔

Oh. so. ever since Sweet Lies, I became more aware of Chanyeol's part in a song. With that, we should include Obsession, EXO's latest released.

Did you hear that? 🔥🔥🔥

. . .

my BuJo Theme this month

Hi guys.

a short one. 

I thought I'd shared with you guys a few pictures from my journal/diary February theme. 

I was inspired by AmandaRachLee's LilDoodle fan project's; Self Love. it was in dedication to Amanda as she took a break from youtube for the month. and I think the theme fits well with me too.

February is coming to an end and March is fast approaching. I wonder if I should follow Amanda's March theme or should I do her February theme for my March theme? I don't know what's her March theme going to be like but here's her Feb:

she said these were inspired by the movie To All The Boys I Loved

this theme will suit me PERFECTLY too. like, do you know how much pen I bought back in 2018 (or probably even more far back than that) and still belum use to this day? I have a problem.

which theme should I go for then?


. . .

2020 Hello

hi guys!
Happy 2020! 🎉🎉🎉

as always, no major 'new year resolution', just something simpple for me; MOVE FORWARD,  A STEP AT A TIME.

I was wondering what post should I do to start of the year, then I thought, I'm lazy, let's just post pictures. 😂

So, here goes. 

December 2019 layout, inspired by AmandaRachLee

my first Dec playlist.

my second Dec playlist.

My old journal has few more pages left (I've been putting in entries since Aug 2019), so I thought, I'll fill in the pages with more pictures;

My 2019 in pictures, as inspired by AmandaRachLee as well.

and to finish the book, I did a couple of quotes

and now, I can proceed with a new journal!

SHINee color! BUTT at certain lighting, it becomes NCT color 🤭. So fitting. 🤭


I did follow the 2020 layout but some of them already filled in, so this is the only one I can share at the moment.

Places I Visit. 

this will not only for overseas, but also, locally. I mean, I'm one of those Bruneian yg don't know the existent of some places in my own country 😆


and here's my Jan 2020 layout.

I feel like this is the most 'exact' copy of Amanda's layout that I followed. *pat-my-back-for-not-being-lazy-lol

I skipped Jan Calendar layout tho,

coz I thought I won't need it but now, I think i need it. will do that lay out later today.

but still, I feel so accomplished. and I did this on 1st Jan, so, a good start to the year. 😉

My sister complimented, "lawa jua yoh.." on my IG post. and that is all the validation I needed 😙💛

as for new year's eve, I went to a BBQ at Hasrin's. I took one picture and a video of burning charcoal/ Like, picture taking at its finest. 
We played UNO and Monopoly Deal. 
NYE well spent. 
Thanks, Hasrin, for hosting 💞

How was your NYE celebration and how's your 2020 been so far?

Hope everything is well on your side too  💝

. . .

I would too

I'm on a roll baby!

no, not really. the posts you have seen so far have been scheduled. 

anyway, just one post.

I saw a friend retweeted this:

and I thought, same.

in this economy, I would do just about anything to earn that extra income.

Even working at the cemetary with that kind of salary! by hour! my daily income doesn't even come to that. like dammmmmnnnnn

. . .

Not supporting anymore

Hi,

So, title. this post was prepared back in July 2019. I just procrastinated for far too long. So, i thought, let's get it over and done with. I'm in need to delete and clean my folder.

here goes...

Hmm how should I word this so that I don't offend people? 

🤔💭

Fuck it. I'm just gonna say it.

Ariana Grande. 

First saw: Nickelodean's Victorious. No, I didn't really watch the series but the ones that I happened to watch, I came across Cat (Ari's character) and thought, she's the best character in the entire series.

I also remember seeing one of her earlier music videos, very colorful, very musical/theater like, and thought, her voice is amazing. not to mention, my friend told me she's like Mariah Carey, bird voice. My respond to that claim? yeah. she could do bird voice.

Next, I don't know. her song Problem became a meme, "I got 99 problem, and you are not one of them" or something along that line. Personally, not a fan of that song.

and then onwards, I saw the EMAs on TV, not by choice, and came across this performance.



at the time, I thought, whoa, she got lungs! and thought it was a good performance.

I actually appreciate a couple more of her songs. or I heard them on the radio, thought it was a nice song, downloaded them, but when I listened again, nyeh.. it wasn't as the hype. So, I just left it there in my iTunes library, untick.

I have a couple of favorites;

1. One Last Time. I only ever watched the music video once and thought it was nice for once she wasn't wearing a 'swimming suit'.
2. Into You. 

Of course, she is a big name out there, every other time, I will learned that she releases new songs but many of those I'm not a fan of.

Fast forward end of last year, Nov/Dec 2018 (yes, I checked my files when I downloaded them LOL), I downloaded 3 Ariana songs; Thank u next, Breathin, and No Tears Left to Cry.
Thank U, Next was once in my top 25 songs.
You can see from my May 2019 top 25 that I untick this song.
that was becoz when I tried to watch the MV, I can't. It says its not available for my region? for some reason I got super offended. 
I wanted to watch becoz she was recreating some of my fav movies, Bring It On, Mean Girls, and Legally Blonde. I thought it'd be fun to watch.

I know I was influenced by a Korean media article with how I was feeling. The artivle was about how kfans was disappointed with how Ari was treating them during her concert there. don't quote me on this, it was something about not meeting VIP ticket holders or something. How she spent time in Japan but not in Korea. don't quote me on this.

I'm aware that she was traumatized by what happened to her in Manchester. I sympathized with her. I understand how you can be prejudiced over a certain race when you had been victimized by that certain race. again, don't quote me on this, I don't know the race of that terrorist. 

So, I'm offended becoz I'm asian?

Fast Forward again, July 2019. I watched a Spill video on youtube. and it involves Ariana and Kris Wu. I know I shouldn't but this Spill video proves my points in one way. Hell yeah I'm siding with Kris. former EXO member. "naega style, aniya" LOL had to put that here.

Anyway, here's some screenshots of the comments that I can relate with.

Comments are the best in every social media platform 👍. not trying to force things onto you but if you missed it, read again the part about English Speaking people. I feel that on so many levels.

Yeah, I know, this is so petty!
but doesn't stop me from no longer supporting her. I even made a playlist where I try to knock off Thank U Next from my top 25. LOL and i did manage to Knock it off in a day. I'm that dedicated.

🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, the songs I used to listen to are still nice to listen to today. but every time I heard her voice, I got really hurt. So, I make an executive decision to not listen to them anymore.

I am in no way denying her singing ability. but sometimes, it's so much more than that when you want to support someone's singing career. to me, at least.

I mean, come on. my unvoting her doesn't make any difference. She is still a big superstar.

So, yeah. 

🤷‍♀️


Just take this post as a Chapter Filler thing.
