Diana

I finally watched Diana, a movie starring Naomi Watts 

and its about the love story of Diana, Princess of Wales, after her separation from Prince Charles. 
I don't know much about the late Lady Di, but she was actually very famous for her humanitarian acts and charity works.

I only know about her during her funeral news/coverage. the news was so huge that it was all over the radio (Brunei used to have a live broadcast of Capital FM, a famous UK radio station at that time) and Television. I even bought a magazine that solely covers the Funeral with Prince William and Prince Harry shown on the cover. and I am ashamed to tell you that the reason I bought the magazine was because I thought Prince William was cute. (LOL-ing at my childishness)
but being me, I ended up being more curious about the history rather than the scandal that surrounds her at that time (or more correctly, I don't remember reading anything about her scandal at that time. it's when I was older that I heard and understand what was really going on before her tragic death)

So, watching the movie, I wasn't much interested in her lovey-dovey side. I just wanted to see how much truth was put in it. I like how they relived or revamped features or dresses or scenes and speeches from the real ones. I know they're not all truth but it made me happy thinking that they're showing a 'behind-the-scene' footage/story from what I used to see old pictures. I've always loved the "history" behind things. It made you connects and understand a little more why things happened the way they did.

One thing I need to point out though. Towards the end of the movie, it was showed that Lady Di was actually the one who exposed to the press of her whereabouts when she was on vacation with Dodi. As much as I want to understand her intention was actually to catch the attention of her former boyfriend, Hasnat, I just thought that she shouldn't have done it. I mean, she could do little with the coverage, don't you think? She was already being swarmed by paparazzi as it is. I don't know if that part was made up or not but as I said, it would have been less stressful if she hadn't.

all the time when I was watching this movie, a One Direction song kept popping into my mind. it was called, Diana.


 
even from when i first heard this song, I was thinking about Lady Di. the chorus lah, very fitting. but thats just me. Lady Di is the only famous Diana that I know of.

After the movie ended, it occurred to me that yesterday would marked the 14 years of her death. She was killed in a car accident in Paris on 31th August 1997. in the movie, they remake the final moment of her life, thru the security footage at a Hotel's lift and also exit, and the date on at the bottom of the screen was 31.08.97. i feel sad for a second thinking about it. a final moment's in someone's life. how would you feel if that was actually a footage of your love ones?

RIP Diana, Princess of Wales. You showed people what should be done when you were given powers; help the underprivileged and raise the voice of the unheard. You were an amazing humanitarian.

Writers

after spending so much time on Asianfanfics.com these past years, I realized something.

real authors need real (heavily constructive) criticism.

I mean the most I see people comment about a story is about how cute this character look (when in actualness the author has not even describe their cuteness in words) or how cute the main characters were together (hmm. I guess that's the disadvantage of writing a fan fiction. coz you're using characters from the real life; Kpop artists and such).

Point is, i don't think most of us want this.

I, for one, would love a criticism on the way I laid out the story, my grammar (though i wouldn't listen much on that since English is only my second language. LOL), and you know, REAL criticism!

but I guess (again) I have to take into account that that website if full of hormonal teenagers, who was so keen into the story line alone (without really caring how the words were laid down as long as there's the name of their fav kpop artists in it) than how it was laid out etc etc.

I'm not saying I'm THAT good! gawd, no. I've got a lot to learn too.

it just frustrates me that I'm posting my story there in the hope that I would get decent, constructive, criticism that would help me improve myself in one way or another, but I got this childish review instead.

I had one good review once for one of my stories and although it stinks and i kinda don't like it in the beginning, I still appreciate it. it got me where I am today.

but since me and that person are not talking to each other anymore, I have no one else to ask harsh review from. 

sigh.

You really don't miss your water, till the well runs dry.

ANYWAY~~

I WANT CONSTRUCTIVE REVIEWS ON MY STORY! 

ANYBODY WANTS TO BE THE REVIEWER?! 

also, desperate time calls for desperate measures.

Brain Dead

I am brain dead. 

both for this blog and my story in asianfanfics.com 

I tried writing down something. but nothing seems to work.

Or I didnt try hard enough.

I saw a post from FB, shared by a friend. It says, "Read a Thousand books, and your words will flow like a river". I agreed completely. Coz it happened to me once. 

I used to read a lot; English novels, Malay novels. ALL of them. Sometimes I can finish a novel in two days! and it resulted in a lot of unfinished fanfics. LOL. ada plang yang finished but comparing the unfinished sama finished, manang unfinished lah.. ;P

But now, it took me FOREVER to finish a book. -___- and another eternaty to create a story. 

Like I said, I'm brain dead.

Maybe I should force myself to read more of often. Another quotes from Times bookstore, "Reading is to the mind like Exercise is to the body". or something like that. and once again, I *nod nod*

So, I shall finish this current book that I'm reading; How to Kill Your Husband (and other hand household hints) by Kathy Lette. 

Hwaiting!!


A/N: bmobile is being such an ass as of late. internet connection sucks. Telbru, do something about this.

pen Pilot

ahaha

yes, another short post.



remember this pen?




i think, sepanjang high-school ku, mesti ada ni pen ah..

but you want to know what I mostly used it for?

writing my stories/fictions.

ahaha

i think it was because that pen made my handwriting small and neat without even trying.

jotting down notes was one thing,
but when you wrote down stories, in small neat handwriting, after a few pages, it looked like you've written alot and accomplished something.
when in reality, you were just writing down 'kiasan' sja..you're not even close to writing down the main point of the story.

LOL!!!

So, yeah..that pen. alot of memories.

I dun have one now but I did bought the one yg body nya made from recycled bottle. it's so cute. (sorry, no picture) it has the same effect as the one above; made my handwriting smaller and neat looking. xD



do you have a certain pen that brings back memories when you look at it?
