Coward

Coward. That's the English translation for this week's Music Monday by local singer/songwriter, Yuna. I wasn't a big fan of Yuna before.. I mean, I think she's talented and nice (bumped into her with boyfriend Qi) a couple of times and they're always nice but I never really took the time to go on YouTube and check out every single one of her songs.

Well, that is until I heard this song, Penakut (Coward) last month or so ago.. The song is about a girl in love singing to the guy she loves about how unfair it is that he's in love with another as well. Basic love triangle but the lyrics and the melody is so beautiful and haunting, that I can just listen to it over and over and over again. Take a listen and hope you enjoy this beautiful tune by Yuna.



There's another version of this song, sung by local rap/hip hop group AMPG, which is the "guy's response" to the girl. It's pretty dope! So if you want to know this "coward's" answer, here's Takut - AMPG Collective feat. Yuna.

Family Matters

Had a long talk with my mom yesterday. But that's usually the case. I can talk to my mom for hours and hours until she complains I'm gonna cost her a bomb when her phone bill comes out. Anyways, some updates on the family front..

My cousin's wedding date has been confirmed. She'll be married in November. That means I have to think of tailoring something to wear. Anyone knows a great tailor? That's doesn't cost me a hand and a leg and my firstborn? Seriously, the last time I made my outfit for my brother's wedding it cost a bomb and the tailoring wasn't up to my expectations.. especially after she charged us so much.

My sister brought her boyfriend home for the first time. My 18-yr old sister is the baby of the family. So everyone is super protective over her but she is also the one with the most boyfriends. She has a different boyfriend every year AND she dates people that we don't know at all. I mean my hometown is pretty small. Practically everyone knows everyone who knows someone. But my sister? She dates people we DON'T know at all. Not boys from her school. Not anybody we know. And we know a lot of people. Sometimes I feel like doing criminal background checks on the guys she dates.

So anyways, this is the first time she has asked for permission to invite her boyfriend for dinner. Gutsy.. considering my brothers and their separate tempers. But apparently, he was allowed to come over and they like him. I so gotta meet this guy.

Hmm.. what else. Oh there is some big news!! But I can't share it here without consulting the "related parties" first. :) heheeh stay tuned.

But seriously, I miss my mommy.

And my sister, sister-in-law, and my brothers. I think I'm beginning to feel homesick.

What Movie Should I Watch Tonight?

We've been watching a lot of classic movies at home lately. Movies from the 50s and 60s. The hubs just took out his classic movies DVD collection and it was pretty awesome. Allie is actually such a movie lover that she will watch anything. She actually sat through Clint Eastwood's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and she was really focused watching Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments. That was like 3 hours 35 minutes!! Not including intermission. Yes, it had intermission! LOL!

But I can't blame her, Yul Brynner as Ramses was yummylicious and Charlton Heston as Moses was hot too (during the Egypt phase, not when he got the calling).

Yul Brynner as Ramses and Anne Baxter as Nefertiri

Anyways, I've got a stack of DVD collections to go through and I'm thinking of what to watch tonight. But it's always easier when Blogthings is around to help you out, right?

You Should Watch an Action Movie

You like to stay busy and active. You don't need thrills, but you do need something to do. You are bored easily, and nothing bores you more than a slow paced movie. You need things to be moving along. You tend to be a very open and honest person. You cut to the chase. You don't have time to couch what you're saying. You like to have a lot of friends and be in the middle of what's going on. You rarely pass up an opportunity to go out.

What Kind of Movie Should You Watch Tonight?

And Just So You Know..

Referring to my previous post, another reason that attributed to my lack of online activity is the slow dying state of my laptop. I am in denial. I don't believe it's time to say goodbye to my lappy yet.. it still has life in her. It's survived with minimal problems for 5 years now, so it can't just die on me yet. It hangs a lot and I have to send it for reformatting, I'm sure. I just hope it's not the motherboard. 'Coz you all know if it's the motherboard, then it's just time I put it to sleep for good, right? It's not like I can find any cheap motherboards and replace it on my laptop, right? Or can I? I don't know. :(

Don't tell me that on top of a new phone, I need a new laptop too. And a vacation. And some new clothes. And a hot bod. And a new pair of running shoes. And the new iPad. ;)

And the list goes on...
