Ulic is happy. For once, Ulic is actually happy.
Ulic thinks that he has said this once before, but he feels like saying it again because he's happy.
Ulic is happy.
Good For You... Good For You... cheese and chocolates are pretty good allies, bt might be a lil bit unhealthy =) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ye gods. LOL kam's right. hahahah all these while i thought u were talking abt some idiot.. lol all the best(: i'm ALWAYS here to treat u to unhealthy fast food. i mean it (; hallo ikhs! ahahahehehhohoo heylo ikhsannnnnnnnnn
wahaha i watched it, and yeah, the storyline was kinda predictable. bt it was nice in a weird way. wahahah and ryuk, gosh, with his pig-like nose, i was laughing everytime he came on screen WHYYYY DOESSSS AMERICA NOTTTE HAF DEATHNOTE?! hehe... the inherent non-existence of deathnote in america has apparently rendered Adalmin unable to spell. oh the horror! the humanity! i guess the american tradition of not reading subtitles was preemptively countered by the box offices there...
A bit about Ulic today.
Ulic is a wretched, sad creature. And Ulic has a few things to say.
Ulic is sorry. He is selfish. And he seeks out things to satisfy his own selfish wants.
He fails others, and in doing so fails himself. Long ago Ulic resolved not to let his choices affect others. He never did let anyone close enough, simply because the ripples from his choices are most strongly felt nearby.
No one knew him for who he really was. And that was the way he wanted. If others do not know him, they will not know his choices, and the influence of such choices on their own choices will not come to be. His choices would, in effect, affect only himself.
Most unfortunately, the oh so very human nature of Ulic is not incomplete. He knows what it is to be alone. Pursuant on this fact, he fails in his resolve. For he sometimes makes a choice to include others in the pathetic pages of the book that is his life. Therein his choices affect them. And thereto he fails everyone.
In trying not to be alone, Ulic realises that he cannot make the ones around him smile. He realises that, himself notwithstanding, his choices should never leave anyone worse off for it.
He cannot do this with others around. He feels that whatever he does only makes things worse. He does not like it. He wants to make things better. Towards that end, he will do what needs doing.
That is all from Ulic today.
On a side note, though, Ulic has to pretend to be negative around some people. Quite simply, this is because he doesn't have to pretend to be anything else. Unfortunately, he cannot deprive the people around him who make him happy their own happiness. It would make whatever joy he experiences exist without meaning nor purpose.
Ulic is a sad, wretched creature.
the challenge is on. you may be one tough nut to crack, but not only will i crack you, i will break you. i will crush you.
this is war, and God help me i won't stop till you, your name, your family and their name, and anyone or thing associated with you are ruined. broken. crushed.
for too long, i stood by and merely watched as you and your minions ravaged my mind, body and soul (yes, Ulic has a soul, and fyi, it is as yet unsold to any devil). for too many painful years, you have deprived me of even the most basic happiness that is the birthright of all humans (yes, Ulic is also human. barely).
no more. no longer. our prolonged engagement will finally come to a long overdue end.
my mistake was being alone, and that loneliness left me watching as those around me realised your vile nature and waged their own wars, much to their individual successes. mistakes aren't meant to be repeated, though. i have found allies. and they will not hesitate to aid me in destroying you.
with their help, my friends the Dumbells, Gymball, and Weight Gainer, you, the dark spectre of Underweight-ness, shall be forever vanquished. Starting next week.
Cheh. Maybe i should start destroying my old enemy Procrastination first. Okay, maybe tomorrow...

wow. it's interesting how ironic life can be. i've been wanting to gain weight since... well, forever (earliest time i recall was when i was in primary 3. wanted to get fat so i could float). but i've only found ways to make myself thinner. like, say, popcorn. makes me a) puke, or b) shit real fast, which is almost as good as puking. and after that, i don't feel hungry for the rest of the day. like today. i watched deathnote, which really is what this post is about.
the idea of having the power over life and death always did intruige me. it's ever so... attractive. the movie was thusly quite the irrisistable thing. all in, though, hindsight tells me that it did not deliver as much as i'd hoped.
the intro, for one, made me want to leave the cinema hall, indiscriminately showering the other people with popcorn and coke. it was kinda nice to see the first person get a heart attack. it was nice to see the second person get a heart attack. but the third, fourth, fifth, and all those other prison people? needless to say (i'll say it still, in case any RP people are reading this) the novelty of it all wore off. we joked that the whole movie would be like that, two hours and ten minutes of writing and heart attacks, and it would end when the deathnote is out of pages.
another thing was the predictability of it all. a kid has something way too big for him fall conveniently onto his lap (for you english purists, i know it's kinda like a mistake to use 'onto' for something bigger than the lap, but the book is physically smaller than his lap, and only figuratively fell onto his lap. it fell to the ground, which is way bigger than the book, but that's another matter entirely). then, he gets this farny idea of changing the world. kid gets deluded. kid becomes twisted, despite the writers purposefully leaving him with a bit of humanity to keep the audience hoping against hope, only to reveal that he is the very monster he wanted to destroy.
but that's just the general story. one would think that the little details would make the delivery of this really boring plot refreshing. one would be thinking wrong. i guess it's not that they didn't try. but the patterns could be seen miles away. like the "busjack" thing. oh so typical. even the step-out-of-bus-and-get-knocked-down-by-a-car bit. or the "write down their names or i'll kill everyone here". please note that i'm a deathnote noob (this is my first foray into the thing). i should actually be quite surprised and shocked. i don't really know why i wasn't. for example, right when that cooking show girl got another book. i went, "she's gonna be in deathnote 2? yeah, she definitely will be". quite predictably, she will be. some of the twists were like blazing bullseyes too. like the father being the lead investigator. or the kid being L. or the protagonist kid being diabolical and anticipating.
let me say again, i have never known deathnote before the movie.
that aside, though... the movie did have its perks. japanese girls are soo cute. especially the sister. much like xiangrong, only female. and i liked the part where the interviewee joked about killing her parents.
oh and before i forget, "ryuk" is so amusing. you can't take an eyelid-less perpetually-smiling clownface seriously. i was laughing my ass off when it (?) said the "didn't you even love her?" bit. clowns don't do drama. horror, yes.
looking back again, i guess the movie wasn't that bad. i actually recommend a watch. just don't watch it again. keep it to one time. cus, at the end you'll think it was a good movie even though you don'tknow why. but if you watch it again, you'll know why it wasn't.
