"Mrs. Rodrigo Santoro" sounds nice

Oh My god, the hunky actor Rodrigo Santoro from the movie Love Actually will be joining the cast of LOST!!!!
I'm so happy I can die. hahahaha.
-----------------------------------------

Lost has added another bad guy to the island mix. Or, actually, he could be a good guy. Really, the odds are 50-50 either way.

Rodrigo Santoro, the South American import dubbed by press as the "Brazilian Tom Cruise"--a reference to his heartthrob status only and not to any off-screen antics--is joining the cast of the Emmy-snubbed drama next season.

Friday Random Ten

I've never done this before and I saw this on BM Rant and decided I wanted to do it. Especially because I am a proud owner of a brand new 30gb video iPod - courtesy of my dearest sister. I love my iPod, thank you, sis!!!!

The rules: Put the iPod on shuffle and list the first ten songs that come up.

1. In the City (Live) by The Eagles
2. River by Natalie Merchant
3. Everybody needs someone sometime by Jewel
4. Nothing else Matters by Metallica
5. Easy Living by Billie Holiday
6. Charm by Wild Colonies (I have never heard this song, a fried just gave this to me.
7. Big Time Sensuality [The Fluke remix] by Bjork
8. Metal Heart by Garbage
9. Adrian by Jewel (so so sad)
10. I Think about you by Bryan Adams

Just realised that there weren't any hip hop songs on this shuffle - and it's because I have not had time to convert my hip hop CDs into the iTunes. Which I HAVE to do this weekend.

Have a good weekend, y'all!

Update:

Favorite Song: Big Time Sensuality by Bjork

Least Favorite Song: Charm by Wild Colonies - um, I have never heard it before. lol

Favorite Album: That album by Jewel that has the song "Adrian" - I remember it had a lot of songs I liked on it.

Seen Live: Garbage

Everytime I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray.

I wrote the following post a long time ago, on May 4th, 2006 - 2 days before my father passed away. I never posted it and I don't remember why I never posted it. I think it's because I knew that it wasn't entirely true - that I didn't really see a full picture from this lesson Life was giving me and that the road ahead was still confusing as hell. But I wanted to have faith in the near future. I wanted to have faith in the things that are to come and I do really want to be able to separate myself - who I am from what I do to survive so that I can really let myself be free.

Steve Jobs said in a commencenment speech - that you have to trust in something, that the dots that in the future, when you look back, the dots that you leave will connect, and that you will finally have a clear picture of what you have been doing with your life, what your decisions have become.

And I am beginning to see the dots connecting. They are slowly forming a shape. I don't know how much I like the shape right now, but things are starting to make some kind of sense for me.

I was thinking today that you never realise how much you love someone, how much you really love them, until you are: either on the brink of losing them or have already lost them.

And I feel as though life/karma, what ever, keeps giving me chances on silver platters but I am usually too busy wallowing in "why me?". I am not living in the moment enough, in fact at all.
And if I want to be able to fall asleep at night and if I really want to go out and achieve the things that I want, I need to stop worrying about what might have happened and how it might have been, what will happen and how it will be and just focus on the present and actually figure it out and do what is neccessary.

Of course, as I write this, it is actually 5 AM and I have been up all night, in the process of making a film in the tunnels in Singapore.

But I managed to keep my focus today and work and work and just let other things slide off of me. Because if you can't separate yourself - who you are from what you do - in order to survive, I don't think you can make it in the long run.

Please say a prayer for my father, who is fighting for his life in the Surgical Intensive care in a hospital in Singapore.

Life

The shooting stars keep hurling by
no wishes I make will sound fine
presents given and presents forgot
storms of havoc always wrought.

regrets gained and regrets piled
you will only ever be happy if they are filed
away from the darkness of your unconscious mind
no more awasting of precious time.

Life flies by when I'm daydreamin'
you will always be in my mind in sceneries
words spoken - broken in juggernaugt
I still can't believe half the things that are happenin'
storms of havoc will always be wrought.

Life without death, there is not.

Walk away

Does it all feel like it's too much sometimes? Do you ever feel like screaming and walking out - and not looking back? I feel like that right now. Sometimes, I just want to drop everything that I'm doing and walk away. Just walk away.
