Keira Christina Knightley is a British actress who became internationally known after her part in Bend it Like Beckham. I didn’t like her much then, but her powerful potrayal of Elizabeth Swann in Pirates movies was simply lovable. Keira, along with other famous names such as Tom Cruise and Patrick Dempsey, are all actors with dyslexia. Obviously that didn’t stop them from pursuing career in acting n__n

By the way, she is just 22 years old (woot!!). Must be because of this new Coco Chanel’s perfume. Rejuvenating everytime you wear it *sprays all over body* >D

The catchy song is Joss Stone’s cover of L.O.V.E, originally sung by Nat King Cole. I have seen the adsjust about gazillions of times, so the song got stuck in my head lol. Now, I just need to sing to it a thousand times like a mantra before it goes away. Umph.

I can send the song to you if you want it coughillegaldownloadcough .


mood: feeling sad since I lost all my previous assignments (7 semesters… even my synoptic! :/ ) in a files pruning incident *stupid computer* [p.s. do you get my title? XD]

and so is Dumbledore!

I know this is old. I just never got around to post this. I’m officially free from Synoptic, yay! (and welcome to Entreprenurial Business Planning) @_@;

Anyhow what d’ya think of the news? Good… bad?

I have posted pretty much all I could think of in leakylounge.com o3o It’s a pretty heated debate (not as heated as the front page’s comment though- too much profanity for my liking), I witnessed a 9 pages thread grew into almost 100 pages in less than a week D: I’m pro the news by the way. To be honest, ever since DH, I had my suspicion, especially induced by who else but FFN. It just confirmed my fanfiction instinct LOLOLOL. Basically these were my thoughts about it. Sorry for the bad English- I was sleepy!

DH SPOILER ALERT: Do not proceed if you have not finished Deathly Hallows!

Still go ahead?

Okay don’t say I didn’t warn ya~

- What intrigues me was, how could no one ever questions about Dumbledore’s true love in previous interviews? This is exactly the same situation when JK expected people to ask about what Dumbledore’s wand was made of, and she would have possibly avoided answering that due to the significance of Elder Wand in the last book. But no one ever did. It amazed me how amongst the copious amount of interviews and Q&A sessions that Jo had attended, only a few days ago that someone came up with the question regarding DD’s love life.

- When Dumbledore asked Snape, ‘After all this time?’ and Snape answered, ‘Always’, I had thought that his tearful moment was due to his sympathy to Snape’s undying love to Lily, although the scene has always bugged me for reasons I couldn’t quite point out. Now it gives a new light that Dumbledore’s sadness *might* have reflected to his own old love to Grindelwald, which had probably lasted for such a long time. He might believe that pushing his love aside, he had gotten over that feeling, but perhaps as he realized, not completely

- The revelation actually shed a whole new light to the book, such as DD’s motive and obsession to work for the greater good. The hints were there all along with the significance of Lily’s one page missing letter that says “..could be friends with Grindelwald!”. It’s just that they were never picked up. Hardly believable though that no one has ever asked about DD’s love life all this time. People jumped so fast to conclude that Dumbledore is asexual.

- Someone: “Would it be better if Dumbledore told Harry about Grindelwald in King’s Cross?”
My response: Well I really don’t see that happening. His sexuality / love to Grindelwald bears no relation to the major storyline. At King’s Cross, it was about Harry and Voldermort and Horcruxes, not Dumbledore in particular. Would it be logical for Dumbledore to blurt out a huge piece of information about his love life? Imagine:

“Wow just wow, you love Grindelwald? OMG so how did.. bla.. when.. bla..”
“Harry, remember, you need to defeat Voldermort.”

Haha.. Would it be important for Harry to know that in order to defeat Voldermort? True, Harry wished he knew Dumbledore’s life better. Yet in the end, I guess that was kind of fulfilled as Dumbledore told Harry his biggest regret, which IMO was always about his family and sister, not Grindelwald. So mentioning that would be unnecessary and unfitting. Touching, yes, extremely, now that we know the truth, but put in the book 7 after so much shocking revelations about Dumbledore, it would be too much to take at once.

-Most importantly, after JK gave note to the movie scriptwriter mentioning that DD is gay, will we be seeing a slightly different line in HP 6, with Dumbledore saying, “I remember a boy, whose hair…”?

Random:
- Pushing Daisies and Grey’s are oh so good it hurts! *Loves* Someone even says they started to watch PD after seeing my sig. Yep, the one I made

*flipped happy*

- I’m getting a little obsessed with avatars and emoticons and forums. Or Internet in general. I have 600+ posts in TV.com, almooost 500 posts in CTMB. I don’t want to recount my other affiliates- that will scare me to no end. Is there a way to get off Internet? :O I am actually going to try one good method now: sleep. It’s 1:34 AM :/

I stayed up late just for you! XD ILY all :)

Yup. A certain kitty with distinct red bows and catty British accent was recently spotted in Europe, so says TMZ. If you are desperately in need for your daily cuteness fix, don’t die first (cause Ned the Pie maker is not around to resurrect anyone today) but check out SanrioEurope’s site instead!! =D

It is filled with awesome goodies to satisfy your Kittyless-ness for free, though if you happen to live near the shop area, I’ll send my deepest prayers for your wallet

Downloadable cute calenders and wallpapers! Look, even Mimmy got her own wallpaper!

Oh noe, that came out so wrong D: Well, but not her wallpaper (the last one - squint your eyes to see). In fact, everything seems perfectly normal, of course, aside from the fact that Hello Kitty is there as well With a little crop tool, Mimmy will have her very own wallies, yay! Nothing looks wrong, all I can see is their sisterly love and happy old memories. Mimmy is playing happily, and seems like she has gained some decent weigh too as she is heavier than Kitty Tried to trace any mistakes and nada~ Her bows are normal, the colors are normal, no one remembers to misplace it and no agents barging in with stunt cat offers. See, nothing complainable- all normal! Which if you think about it, makes it pretty abnormal, no? 0.o

Speaking of normality, is it normal if I try to get my feet to fit in these cuties?

…LOL this gives me a whole new light about Rexona! XD

And…. my mostest favoritest~ I really want these! n___nb

Two of my friends have watched the Pie-lette of Pushing Daisies. Zomg, before me!! I forgot why I ever called them friends. Oh wait, because I’m going to get it from them today that’s why. In case you guys read this, I’m just kidding! Of course I didn’t forget it’s because of you that I can watch it today You’re great friends!

When I asked Gilang how did the pilot go, he let it slip, “Gw rasa sih biasa aja Stef…” (I think it was okay.. not bad but not great - I’m confused why I watched it at the first place *pointed blaming fingers at me*). Haha, I know I screwed up the translation but IMO he did mean to say that, just in a roundabout way -_-;; Upon seeing my shocked face however, or rather, my onion shocked face in MSN , he quickly added, “Tapi lucu juga sih…” (But sure it has its funny moment…)

eeh? D:
(Isn’t this the part where he was supposed to marvel about Pushing Daisies and join campaign with me to brainwash college people into watching it? Nevermind)

Then Budi commented as well, “Emang kyknya aga low budget…special effectnya kurang rapi..” (It did look abit low budget.. and the special effect wasn’t that neat). From there I went o.O! and no onion face could perfectly describe my emotion.

wtf?

I fell in love only to have premature broken heart! Needless to say I’m so . Will edit this post after I’m done with my synoptic (due next week! 666!) or done watching and need to complain. Whichever comes first!

Update: Alex said he thought it was good! Then Nana, being an angel she is, gave me Grey’s Anatomy’s premiere (AWESOME!! Minus Burke and Addie though ) And with that I rest my Daisy case and will watch it tomorrow. Synoptic calling, dear.

#UPDATE: So I’m sure some of you wonder how come I could stand not watching with Pushing Daisies inside my thumb drive for this long. I didn’t. If I had though, I wouldn’t be alive right now to update this post. Anyway, some coincidence it was, but I watched it the same day it aired in US.

So, let’s get to the 9 million dollar question:

Is Pushing Daisies good, is it not good?? Teehee!!

*drum rolls*

*tribal dances*

*clear throat*

*gulp!*

*clear thr… okay I’m just messing with you XD

:evil laugh:

Steffi saaays:

Woot! It was awesome. Pushing Daisies was all in one package, quirky, sweet, fairytale-ish. I simply love it! Chuck was sooo prettier in TV life, I admit even slightly prettier than in the banner I made. And Ned… lmao, need I say the hottest TV star this season?

It wasn’t disappointing. It was cute. I was satisfied. Swooned even. And I won’t spoil it for you. Yup it was that good. Now I’m exaggerating *snort*.

Please watch, then feel free to take a side: Gilang & Budi’s… or mine

P.S. I’d like the 9 million dollar in small changes please.
