But We’ve Never Even Met


2012
02.05

One of the funny things in life is how it is possible to relate to the feelings of somebody that you’ve never met in your life. However you could know enough about them and their experiences through other media to get to know them in a sense.

In times of trouble you may feel like you get to know singers of songs urging us all to be strong women when we’re in pain. They are like the voice you need to hear and because of this you kind of become warmed by the sound of their voice.

Many human experiences are universal and so this is possible. Music is something which is great for sharing emotions and so it is not surprising if you start to feel fond of a particular singer and their story. It happens to a lot of people as they seek out songs by people that they can relate to.

My Boyfriend Uses a Beginner Ukulele


2012
01.13

My boyfriend has a wide array of instruments in his room. One of them is a beginner ukulele. It’s his favorite instrument out of all that he has. I find it funny that a musician like him would make a tiny instrument and a beginner’s one at that, his favorite. Sometimes, when we are bored, he would just play the ukulele. He plays the familiar songs so I can sing along with him.

He even brings it with him when he goes it. He says it helps him entertain himself when there is nothing to do. When people do hear him play the ukulele, they are amazed at how good he is. They don’t realize that he actually owns more instruments than just a ukulele. I like that my boyfriend likes his beginner ukulele. I can tell that he’s a very humble and grounded person who is contented even with the smallest things.

Sharpness of a Sony 35mm 1.4


2012
01.02

If you are searching for information about image sharpness of a Sony 35mm 1.4 lens then there are several different review sites which would give you the required data. Most of these review sites would talk about sample testing results, but be careful about who is talking about these lenses. Often, it would be paid writers who talk about these lenses and it is better that you read multiple reviews of not just this lens, but also about other lenses before you decide how good and trust worthy the site or forum is. This lens unfortunately does not score very high in this feature, despite the high price tag at which this lens comes at. This is a disappointment, since you would spend upwards of a thousand dollars for this lens. The lens has quite a high amount of softness and if this bothers you, then you must not buy this lens at all.

Drama Course: Unveil the Actor in You


2011
12.28

Joining a performing arts group has been my most wanted dream. I am not a natural-born actor; hence I am somewhat unsure if I can ever make it as an artist. I was surprised to be included in the list of students who will represent our school in a free drama course which will be conducted by an alumnus, who is now a professional personality in the film industry.

We were all excited to listen and learn from an expert in the field of acting and stage production. The drama course has incorporated lots of interactive activity which taught us how to confidently speak, act and perform in front of the camera. There was even an exercise where we were asked to do simultaneous display of emotions. Indeed, such course started to unveil the actor in me. I never imagined myself doing such challenging tasks, but with the help of our acting guru, I was able to overcome my fears and hesitations.

After having attended the free acting course, my desire to pursue my interest to become an actor has gone to a higher level.

Never in Store


2011

I don’t get it. Yamaha produces all their products in mass quantities. They are one of the most popular companies in the world. Their Yamaha NP30 is one of their most popular digital pianos, but why is it never in stock? Even all the stores mentioned in this review do not have it in stock.

How in the world is this possible? The Yamaha NP30 is supposed to be popular. It’s supposed to be this elegant and cheap digital piano that anyone can afford to buy. Well, I can afford it, but I can’t buy it. I have gone to 6 different stores, and none of them have it in stock! I am getting frustrated because the NP30 is the perfect one for me. I don’t want to settle for a less-than-satisfactory digital piano, but at this rate, I think I might have to.

If you know where I can purchase the Yamaha NP30, please contact me. It’s urgent. I need to get the Yamaha NP30 now. I am getting tired, and my fiery passion is starting to dwindle.

Hollywood News – STAR WARS: EPISODE II – ATTACK of the CLONES


2011
11.09

In his Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, director George Lucas revisits the young characters of Episode I – The Phantom Menace, with a story that places them ten years later, during a time of unrest in the galactic Senate. Shot entirely on high-definitionb hollywood digital video (instead of 35 mm film), Attack of the Clones is densely populated by computer-generated characters (creatures of all shapes, colors and sizes that keep the viewer’s eyes constantly working), and imaginative, futuristic sets that encourage dizzying panoramic shots and out-of-worldly atmospheres. Attack of the Clones exalts the character of Senator Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman), whose impressive array of costumes appropriate the actress’ natural beauty and make her resemble a modern Queen Nefertiti or a respectable, ageless matrona). More significantly, Attack of the Clones follows the mythical character of Anakin Skywalker, now at nineteen years of age (played by Hayden Christensen) who, in the 1977 Star Wars was seen as the evil Darth Vader and in subsequent episodes was revealed to be the father of the heroic Luke Skywalker. Having grown from the nine-year-old boy of Phantom Menace, Anakin is portrayed as the impatient yet extremely powerful Jedi, still under the tutelage of the reputable Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor [Moulin Rouge], formerly played by Alec Guinness as the older Obi-Wan). When Anakin reencounters the young Padmé, having last seen her ten years before, he is utterly impressed by her serene beauty and eagerly accepts the task of protecting her against impending deadly threats by her enemies. Struggling with the growing admiration for her, Anakin becomes increasingly defiant toward the strict rules of the Jedi, which clearly forbid love and possessions, and which prove most inconvenient as he stands before the young girl. Padmé, however, seems more focused on her role as Senator, helping with the formation of an army that would serve to help the Jedi Knights defend the Republic against a dangerous political separatist movement led by Count Dooku, a.k.a. Darth Tyranus (Christopher Lee: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring). Attack of the Clones explores the antagonistic forces that would eventually lead to the transformation of the Republic and the birth of an Empire.

It does so by emphasizing those elements which introduce the origins of future conflicts, such as Anakin’s growing thirst for power, his trouble with submission, his arrogance, and his ideas on the benefits of a dictatorship. More importantly, while also focusing on Anakin’s charm and boyish rebellion, Attack of the Clones establishes the seeds of his evil and embitterment through a series of scenes that expose his personal rage against the fate of his mother. In this respect, Attack of the Clones is most enjoyable for those viewers who accept this hollywood movie as a retrospective journey that offers answers to some of the questions raised in Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. (In one humorous scene, this retrospection is toyed with as Obi-Wan worries over Anakin’s rebelliousness, stating: “Why do I get the feeling you’re going to be the death of me?”) Not surprisingly, the film exploits a subplot about the love that flourishes between Anakin and Padmé, and portrays both characters as very young, beautiful, independent, intelligent, and heroic. In fact, the characters’ young age accentuates the degree of their adult-like qualities; a choice which will ensure sympathy and admiration from young viewers. (Interestingly, the focus on Anakin’s inner conflicts also raises valid questions regarding the character’s immaturity.) Visually, Attack of the Clones’ most impressive achievement is the army of clones and the factory that produces them. These clones –thousands of soldiers modeled after one man– elevates the fictionalization of technology to dramatic proportions and opens narrative possibilities for the film: with the clones’ intimidating number, force, amoral origins and unfeeling nature, their loyalty remains questionable until the concluding moments of the film.

Attack of the Clones’ best persecution scene is suspenseful and serves to guide the viewer through impressive sets, amusing vehicle designs, as well as Anakin’s and Obi-Wan’s extreme physical abilities, their stamina and courage. However, another important scene in this english movie news, which depicts a physical struggle between the digitally reinvented Yoda and a towering Darth Tyranus, provides a “problematic” type of amusement that devalues the scene’s intended climactic seriousness with awkward comedic representations of the new Yoda. (No longer portrayed as a strictly intellectual hero, the character loses its uniqueness.) All in all, Attack of the Clones is evidently George Lucas’ ambitiously sustained attempt to present –to old and new generations– this updated, highly fictionalized world; a world that evolves off-screen and periodically resurges, bringing identifyable political and philosophical conflicts that rule its incredibly diverse population of grotesque species; a world that insists on reserving all familial and affective dilemmas for its beautiful, human citizens.

Going to Camp

This was a very long and hard school year. I did not get very good grades this year because I struggled in mathematics and English. That is why I am very happy that next week is the last week of school. After the last day of school I am going straight to camp in Maine for the entire summer. I love going to camp because everybody there thinks that I’m very funny. Usually I wear funny t shirts every single day and I make people laugh with my clothing as well as my sense of humor. I’m a very different person and can’t because no one knows the person I am in my own town. They all think that I’m a smart and funny guy and the did not know that I am a real big nerd where I am from. When I get to camp I think I will go swimming and I will with my friends by the campfire and show them all of my new funny T-shirts.

Photographs of a New Product Range

As a newcomer to the city I had great difficulty finding a suitable photographer in Charleston to take photographs at the events I organize. My colleague told me about an online directory which lists available photographers and their area of specialization. Our company is about to launch a new range of small kitchen appliances targeting one-person households. The event will take the form of an open exhibition with experts demonstrating each of these labor saving appliances. The photographer will move from exhibition stand to exhibition stand, taking photographs of the appliances showing each of their features. He will then take the experts demonstrating the appliances. A visitor to each stand will try the appliance out for themselves. I will interview the member of the public on their opinion of the appliance. The lucky visitor will take home the appliance he or she has tried out. I will rely on a photographer in Charleston to provide photographs of the different elements of this product launch
