something sweet and mushy... =p

by farah_prong@yahoo.com.my

Hello y'all...
hehehe...

First of all, I would like to apologize for the typo error about me mentioning that Rhage mate is Beth. You are right powerangers...it is with Mary Luce. hehehe...we do not want Wrath and Rhage fighting.

Okay. Today's topic is 'something sweet and mushy'. Powerangers knew that I am a corny and lame person. I love corny stuff eventhough people might say that it is sooooo lame and classic. I am currently watching a Korean show entitled ' Star Wedding' or also known as 'We Just Married'. It is a show where the famous Korean artists are being paired and 'married' at the show. So far, there are 4 couples in the show. They are:

1. Andy and Solbi
2. Alex and Shin Ae
3. Crown J and In Young
4. Hwangboo and Hwangjoo (a.k.a lettuce couple)

There is another couple whom I have forgotten their names. This couple (Hyundok is the husband, I think) has been 'divorced' in the show as they have no chemistry at all. I love the show but as I have poor memory of people's name, I often get them mixed up. Thus, forgive me please if I misspelled their names or actually write different names for the the couples.

This show is interesting and hillarious as the 'couples' started to know each other and try to live like husband and wife. This show is being recorded twice in a month and they only need to stay together in the house only during the shooting time. Thus, they are not really living together. They will receive one mission during each shooting and they need to complete the task. However, the tasks are fairly simple such as taking vacation with other couples, preparing love luch box and etc.

I personally favors the 'Ansol' (Andy and Solbi) couple. This is because their behaviours are completely different where Andy is the 'loving-good looking-charming-handy-can cook husband' and Solbi is the 'agressive-pushy-cute-cannot cook wife'. Thus, they look good together. However, in real life, they are not couples although the fans really wished them as one. Who can blame the fans? They are a great couples.

Okay. About the something sweet and mushy. This is not about Ansol couples but it is about the lettuce couples. They have age gap which makes their communication difficult. Hwangjoo is 20 whereas Hwang Buin is already 26. 6 years of gap. Go figure! But when they are paired together, the fans can see that Hwangjoo is getting matured as guys usually do not want to be lead by their wife, so they need to be the GUY.

In episode 26, Hwangjoo and Hwangboo needed to help out an elderly woman living at one village. This is where Hwangjoo made a surprise by singing a lyric to his wife. He is a very shy person, thus his effort is really something that should be praised. Here is his English translated song to his wife.

Honestly I didn't think I was worthy of loving someone yet...
even when I first met you...
I didn't have the confidence
So I just worried
After the time has passes...
I must have gotten used to our precious time together
Your faith in me as you always watch me by my side
I love you
I love you

The song is actually from his album but in the album, there is no lyric that says 'I love you'. He added it himself. It is such a sweet moments where you could see the sincerity of Hwangjoo in trying to be THE MAN for his wife. If you follow this show, you will be touched by this moment. Thus, start watching the show in Youtube. Type it under 'star wedding' and you will be addicted to it. Trust me.

Ahh... yes. Through this mundane finality, you have finally spoken, my dear. Nice call there, prongsie...

All rightie, readers...!
As my friend had already said, this blog is written by two writers. Myself (powerangers) and prongs (this friend of mine). Frankly, I was really excited when the time the idea of creating a blog where the two of us as THE writers occurred. I'm far too lazy to start my own. And also, it's not like ideas will pop up on a daily basis is it? Actually, prongs and I have already got our own writing journal to be honest. It's nothing speacial, just a little worn book where we both would keep in posession in turn to channel these endless creative little pieces of our mind into. Poems, short stories, anything. I had fun writing in it, really. It help me voicing what I was really feeling since I have trouble saying what I really feel. The book is nearly half full but unfortunately, we could not continue writing in it. This is already our last semester in college. I live here in Muar, Johor whereas prongs is at Guar, Kedah. Well, what do you expect? Us posting the book back and forth from Johor to Kedah and the other way round? Not possible, folks. Besides, the posting rate is a little bit over the top. Definitely not something I'd like to pay continuously for. Then the idea of a blog came and there you go.

Nevertheless, this blog that we share is going to be a little bit different than the book I told you earlier. We're going to be more flexible, the writings will cover more fields, not just poems and short stories. It could range from movie review, as I had done earlier, book review, as prongs just did, our day to day encounter, any news, breakthrough records, our good 'ol poems and short stories and et cetera. Anything. Anything at all. And all of this will be told in our own point of view. Meaning you'll get two type of opinions.

By the way prongsie, please stop this powerangers-writes-better-than-me crap. Might I remind you that we both have different styles in writing. Mine might be a little 'bombastic' as you put it, but yours, I presume, prefer simpler choice of words. It's nice, easier, and kind of like firm-whilst-gentle style. Er... that's what I thought la... Huhu. Oh, and I love your writings too. xD

And about the books prongs mentioned earlier, those written by J.R. Ward, I absolutely agree to everything she said. Ward is amazing. Though I would like to correct something prongs write about the main characters in the book and their mates. Rhage's mate is not Beth, actually. It's Mary. Tsk tsk tsk, prongsie... You want Wrath and Rhage to have the cohntehst like those in the Old Country? Poor Mary...
Ekeke... xD

Well, that's that I guess.

All of you might notice that there are two of us. That is why the blog is called Crayzee Writers. Emphasis on the 's'. Our writing styles are not the same. I really favour powerangers's writing more than my own as i consider my writing is basically simple and not really as bombastic and powerful as hers. I'm just blabbering here. Nothing fancy to talk about.

I might say something about JR Ward. For those who did not know her, I believe that you are missing a big chance to be entralled by her books. For those who knows, you can tell how much her book series glue us for hours. She is a fabulous author. I respected her writing a lot. To be honest, I am captivated and mesmerized by her books. Her books are really sensual. I never read that kind of books before this, but thanks to powerangers, I fall into JR's beautiful writing and I am spellbounded by it. The Black Dagger Brotherhood (BDB) series is a phenomenon in the vampire fans' world. They are intense, filled with sensual quality and wonderful to be read. Though, if age restriction is being carried out, I might say that this book falls into the 18SG/SX category.

The sad thing is that when I went to any bookstores (I haven't tried Kino yet), the workers never really know about this great author. Yes, her book may not rival Stephanie Meyer to even a close shave, but with respect, please don't show that blank face to the fans of the books. It makes me feels sad, angry and confused about why there are so many people who did not know this book. The least that the workers can say is that 'Can you please leave your phone number and we will contact you once we have located the book' or etc. Don't dissappoint us; the BDB fans by saying that 'we never heard about the writer'.

I have a confession to make. I have sinned the BDB fans and JR. I have illegally downloaded the series of BDB due to the inability to find the books. Thus, I hope that I may be forgiven. It is really hard to avoid the temptation to download it after accidentally finding the books in the Net. For that, I am sorry.

JR Ward's books are unique. The series is about a group of vampires who protected their race against the lesser; a clan designed to kill the vampire over a fued that happened between the Scribe Virgin (vampire creator) and Omega(lesser creator). The group members are (not in sequence):

1. Wrath (the King) + Beth
2. Darius (deceased)
3. Thorment (MIA) + Welsie
4. Rhage + Beth
5. Phury + Cormia
6. Zadist + Bella
7. Vishous + Jane
8. Butch (newly appointed member) + Marissa

To experience the love in this book, buy it now. I hope that all of you have a better luck in finding the book because I have failed to do so too many times.

Until then. See you when I see you.
(^-^)

Book-based Movies Review

By powerangers_08@yahoo.com.my

these are based on my favourite films so far..

Twilight

The novel is great, honestly! I couldn't stop reading, I couldn't put down the book. I read it for 6 hours straight and I love the storyline. Its not so heavy, but not that light either. However, I found that most of the Twilight avid readers are girls, naturally, which is a pity. guys would find a thing or two to learn from Edward (how to treat their other half, etc..). Lol.
There are critics, mostly, disappointingly, are negative. But these critics are hardly fair, if you ask me. I mean they hardly ever read the book, and they have the guts to say that it's rubbish. It's infuriating! Why don't you measure your own clothes before you are measuring others', folks. You're embarrassing yourself, you know.
And these are the Twilight Saga; the complete journey of Edward and Bella.

Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn

All right! back to the movie! Hm.. I'll take my hat off for Catherine. She knows just what to put and what to not put into the movie, which scene is the most important and which is not. But I can't say the same for her leading characters and how she made them act. Robert and Kristen are fine actor and actress. Robert as Edward... I mean, i nearly jump when I first found out. I really favor him. But what about those chemistry that you suppose to have when you are acting? Edward and Bella are supposed to be a couple, with such intensity that you even have to look away when they are kissing; because of the love they radiated. But I couldn't feel that when I watched Robert and Kristen on screen. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerated a little bit but just look back through the movie. They both don't act like a couple, but like any normal FRIENDS. Couldn't they at least have some chaste kiss on the forehead or something? Maybe they have a kiss scene (at Bella's room, remember?) but that's just it.
I am, to this day, still disappointed. Its not that hard to put those on screen, right? Other than Bella and Edward, then there's Jacob. Isn't he supposed to be TALL? Like, very tall? Then why's he shorter than Edward? Okay, I may be a little bias here. They couldn't have all the perfection as the book, could they? But there ARE people out there TALL enough to be Jacob. Though I have nothing against Taylor Lautner, honest. I just feel that they should have done something about this matter...
BUT! However disappointed I am, I simply CANNOT wait the second installment: NEW MOON. I hope it's gonna be great! XD


Harry Potter

Ahh... My favourite book of all times... Harry Potter. Of all the 7 books, I never got tired of any of it. Each one of the book, I've read at least 7 times. And still, I want to read more. Like Stephen King used to say, Jo Rowling is a terrific writer. Her writings are fun. She knows exactly when to be funny, when to be serious, and her writings are all true. Not the story, of course! But how each one of the characters dealt themselves. How they are feeling, how they would act under the circumstances. Jo Rowling really deserve all the praising she got.
And these are all her famous Harry Potter franchise. The start of Harry's journey until the end.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The movies were all established under different directors, we all know that. And I have praise for each of them. They all have brought something new and meaningful to the story and that what makes Harry Potter such an successful franchise. But maybe those new elements what makes me a little disappointed. The location of the castle, Hagrid's hut, The forbidden forest... I love all of them during movie 1 and 2 but in movie 3... Gosh, what have they done? Couldn't they at least retain those settings? I couldn't remember any hills when I watched movie 1 and 2! And any eagle statue, really. This is Hogwarts we're talking about. I know movie 3 is one of the best franchise so far, but still...
Oh, yeah. by the way, I have absolutely NOTHING against ALL of the characters. They are all perfect! They fit the characters in the books perfectly. Though Ron and Hermione didn't seem that worry about Sirius hunting Harry. You didn't see Emma fuss over Daniel's safety or Rupert's freckles paled when they heard the news, do you? (in movie 3)
Oh, gosh... The 6th movie will be coming this July. I can barely contain myself! XD


P/S I Love You

This book is magical, have you noticed? Ahern makes it possible for us to believe that there are true love out there and we can hope for it to occur. It's so fun and sad in the same time. she's amazing.
and have you read her other books? If You Could See Me Now, Thanks For The Memories, etc... Those books are absolutely enthralling and like the other books that I've read, I could not stop reading them.

So naturally, I squealed with delight when I found that they made the P/S I Love You into a movie. I remembered watching it with my friends at the hostel. We could all hardly believe that we can see it on screen since we all adore the book.
But honestly, when the first time I watched it, it was quite boring. I couldn't quite point at where it's supposed to be boring but it is. However, when I watched it again, it was quite great, actually. I cried when I watched the second time, but not on the first. Maybe you need to REALLY watch it to really feel what the characters are all feeling. Like all book-adapted films, there are some alterations of course and this movie have been through A LOT of alterations. But still, it's good.


Eragon

I favor the book, I really do. Though during when Brom and Eragon are on a journey to hunt the killers of Eragon's uncle, I found it quite dreary. The journey covers most of the pages in the book. But IT has its cause and advantages. It helps Eragon to practice and maybe 'grow up' a little bit. I haven't have the second book, by the way. The one entitled Elders. I'm planning on buying it next week! Hehe..
These are Eragon's installment, though it hasn't finished yet. I'll keep my eyes open... xD

Eragon
Elders
Brisingr

The movie have cut most of the part in the book. Though it all falls into place quite satisfyingly. However, because of the cut scenes, Eragon in the movie seems like someone who is... er... Not ready into anything, if you get what i mean. He doesn't seem to grow up as much as the Eragon in the book and there are insecurities; the way he brings himself. Maybe that's what the director wants, but still...
And Brom in the movie seems young enough though in the book he's supposed to be the one supporting white beard. Kind of like Dumbledor, I suppose.
Do you think they'd make Elders into a movie? Because if they do, I'll watch it. Absolutely.


Well, these are the movies that I could find flaws in them because I absolutely love them. And it's also because these movies are adapted from books, which makes it easier to compare. I'll write more reviews soon..

Well, that's that, I guess.
xD
