When We Say (Juicebox) - AJ Rafael (Original)

Milk - Kings of Leon

Salty leave , salty leave

tell me the one about the friend you knew
and the last good night that we toasted too.

Salty leave,
stay for me, stay for me

We drank wine in the matinee
and the spotlight showed what I chased away

Stay for me

She saw my comb over, her hourglass body
she has problems with drinking milk
and being school tardy
She'll loan you her toothbrush
she'll bartend your party

Kill me, kill me

I called and called, but I can't get through,
said he's on his own, but his own is you

Kill me

ahhh this song, i adore. Caleb's voice is haunting.

as of late:

p.s. i just got a hair cutt :D

Just In: Revlon Matte Lipsticks

So about a month ago, a bought a MAC Freckletone lipstick and after only a week later, i'd lost it. >:\ not very happy... so i did some research and when i found that Revlon's matte collection lipsticks worked just as well, i had to try them out.

Needless to say, i was quite impressed, and thanks to priceline's buy 2 revlon products, get one free, i managed to score these 3 babies for only 42 bucks :)

What i brought home: (l -> r) Just Enough Buff (Super Lustrous) Lipstick, Pink Pout (Matte), and Nude Attitude (Matte).

ahhh its love. The first lipstick kinda reminds me of Mac's Freckletone so i was pretty impressed by that (a little dry but you know...its a nice peachy-pink colour for my NC35 skintone). Also, i've always wanted a barbie pink colour so... probably when i find something to wear it with, i'll test it out. Finally, 'Nude Attitude' comes off quite similar to Mac's 'Myth' so yeahhhh :) i'm quite happy w/ my purchases. love nudey lips xx

Dearest B,

Love, S. xx

i pineeeee...

Adore.

Revolutionary Road

"If my work has a theme, I suspect it is a simple one: that most human beings are
inescapably alone, and therein lies their tragedy"
- Yates

I loved everything about this novel-turned-movie (and no, i didn't just watch this for the first time). Kate Winslet & Leonardo Dicaprio make such a powerful duo. In 'Titanic', while they managed to pull off the 'you jump, i jump' relationship, 'Revolutionary Road' was more intense than anything romantic. I can actually kind of see myself relating to April's character (not in the present sense) but i guess, there's just something out of her tragic life that i empathise with - The desperation, feeling stuck-in a rut, and with nowhere to escape to. Frank's character was also just as moving. Whilst he did show a deep love for April, his own capacities and unheroicness failed to let him realise or rather, acknowledge how troubled she was, and how indeed trapped they both were in their own mundane, little lives. Some people can live with it, others prefer to move.

And this, when pieced together with the piano & violin in the background... It left me with a feeling just as it did when i walked out of the movie 'Capote.' Empty, and a little sad.

So the moral? "Be kind to everyone you meet, they're fighting a battle you know nothing about."
