My Two Cute Hamsters Says Hi! :D

These are my two cute hamsters... Bought it the previous month, and they've gone fat fat fat since... (Thanks to the owner, they've never ever had a shortage of food! :P ) They love to bathe themselves, and of course, eating and sleeping all day...

I drew this out of boredom this afternoon, oh, for you information, Momoy here is a girl, Papoy is a boy... And, yes, Momoy LOVES to EAT all the time! So she got that fat, and she also loves to hide many foods inside her pocket in her mouth... You'll find her munching or sleeping all day...

Papoy, on the other half, is restless... He loves to climb the bars of the cage, maybe he's pretending he's on an expedition... He also loves to eat and sleep, yet he has a routine of playing the "spinning wheel"...

Here is a photo of the 'real' Momoy:

And here's the photo of the 'real' Papoy:

Ain't they cute and adorable? :)

Anyway, I will also share my DeviantArt page here (yay!! Finally after months and months of delaying, I decided to post my artworks at DeviantArt...) Here is the link : http://clarissae.deviantart.com/

I know I've only posted this pic, more coming soon... Yet now I'm glad I had something to share with... :D

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a great week ahead!! (Me? I've got assignments, and due dates, as usual... :) ) 

Changed my blog adress... :)

Hmm, finally I decided to change my blog address... Because I feel that the last one is too long... So here is my new address now... http://creatingwishes.blogspot.com/ :)

Anyway, Happy Sunday Everyone!

My Very First Photoshop Design

I've been thinking to use Photoshop for a while yet I don't have time, or when I have the time I usually ended up doing something else instead. So, finally I tried to use Photoshop yesterday, and here's the result. It's not my first, actually. I have used Photoshop, but only for editing photos. It is the first time I used Photoshop for something else. Using brushes and all. I know it's not that good, because technically I'm an amateur. :)

Thanks to Chris Spooner for the tutorial... ^__^

Joseph Gordon Levitt --> The Dark Knight Rises (So excited!)

Yes! Finally I got something 'right' today... After all those exhausting and tiring assignments I opened my Twitter and here is the good news! Joseph Gordon Levitt will play Alberto Falcone in the next Nolan's Batman film. (Yay! Though to be honest, I don't really know who he really is, Alberto Falcone I mean...)

So I heard there are a few people just go, 'naaahh...', and some of them are indifferent and skeptical, because they think that Falcone is a minor character... Hmm, I can't help but agree with the latter... I am certainly NOT a Batman Comic Book fan... I just love watching the movies. Good movies. And as long as Nolan's in there sweating days and nights making this film, I'm looking forward to it.

So, who is this Falcone? Alberto Falcone is the son of Tom Wilkinson's character in Batman Begins. His father's name is Carmine Falcone, and he is a serial killer of The Holiday Killer, appeared in Batman Comic series titled Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Dark Victory. And as I'm saying this, I don't have an idea of what the Holiday Killers are, or what Falcone is capable of. I just know that The Holiday Killers are the villains who kills their victims every holiday, and the killers itself are mostly anonymous. Hmm. Sounds 'dark' and twisted already.

Actually I'm a bit surprised when he chose this character instead of Batman's other villains. He can choose any villain from the Riddler, to Penguin, and instead, he chose this character... With a few appearance, little explanation of him, and not a popular Batman enemies... I mean, we all know about the Joker. He's the nemesis, he's the Man. He has no vulnerable, he's smart and slick and whatever you can say about him is, well, ambiguous and yet, he's the greatest villain ever created in DC Comics.

And then here comes... Falcone? I'm a bit skeptical, yes. Though I'd love to hear Joe G.L. will play the part, I can't help but thinking, "What is inside Nolan's mind?" (Maybe I'd have to do Inception through three layers deep and still got no answers!).

Anyway, Joe G.L. are also completing the awesome casts in The Dark Knight Rises. I'm talking about Anne Hathaway. Yes, Anne Hathaway. As CatWoman a.k.a Selina Kyle, and Tom Hardy as Bane.

YESSS YESS YESS, to be honest I'm confused with Nolan's mind. Why Bane? Why Falcone? They're a nobody (as far as I know). And anyway WHY Anne Hathaway? I cannot make the equation well enough. Anne Hathaway = Selina Kyle ??? 

Tom Hardy = Sturdy = Bane à This I can relate... After all, Tom Hardy is a guy who can really act, and I think it would be interesting to see him go in fist-to fist battle with Christian Bale.

Joseph Gordon Levitt = Alberto Falcone à no comment, cause I don’t have the slightest idea about this character. I would go watch Batman Begins again in order to understand his father more, (to enlighten me, give me more specific clues and convinced myself to whatever comes up in Nolan’s brain) Carmine Falcone.

Ah, the third and most surprising major cast... So far...

Anne Hathaway = Sexy and Dangerous Selina Kyle ??? à at first, I thought that this is only a prank. A joke. A spam, a mere rumor. You name it. And it turns out...  So TRUE! Yes, Anne Hathaway is hot (you’ll know after you’ve watched Love and Other Drugs and see her naked for the gazillionth time...), and umm... She’s just not the ‘cut’ of Selina Kyle, you know? I’ve watched the previous Batman by Tim Burton (of course), and see how Selina Kyle transformed to a vile and cruel Catwoman, a character who possessed a hint of sensuality and dangerously attractive, a femme fatale (to be honest I also happen to have seen Halle Berry’s portrait of CatWoman in which I thought was a disaster. Sorry Ms. Berry!). So, the question is, would this cast of Anne being Selina a successful interpretation of CatWoman’s character? Would she be able to deliver such a rich character? Or will she be the next Halle Berry’s CatWoman?

So, with all new casts combined, the equation would be something like... This:

Anne Hathaway + Bane + Alberto Falcone = Dark Knight Rises ?

+

+ 

=

Yes, I wrote it right. Anne Hathaway would always be Anne Hathaway. No Selina Kyle (in my opinion).

To know whether Nolan has did another great job as he did with The Dark Knight 2 years ago, we’ll just have to wait for another year, July 20th 2012... (Hope by then, this tax problem in my country would not be much of a problem anymore...).

Little Red Riding Hood... (no, it's not a movie review)

Little Red Riding Hood. What comes up to your mind when you heard this? Hmm...

A girl, young, wearing a red hoodie that looks more like a combination of a rapper's hoodie and Superman's  cape...

The reason I blogged about this girl is because I am intrigued by the story behind this legendary children story...

It is told that the story has different meanings to all people... Some people thought that the little red riding hood is a girl before she encounters the wolf in the forest, and that The Famous Big Bad Wolf itself is a symbol for a man, seducing the little girl (its like a pedophile, don't you think?). And it is a very interesting idea, because the red cape symbolizes the blood from the periodic cycles a woman has, and The Wolf, which symbolizes the man, bears a symbolic warning for women, in terms of sexual predators... In the story, Red Riding Hood encounters The Wolf inside the forest in a way to her grandmother's house. Little Red talks to The Wolf, in which she's told not to talk to strangers by her mother. The Wolf started to persuade her to pick up flowers, while he is busy finding the grandmother's house and eat the grandmother, dressed himself and take the grandmother's place. Waiting for the girl to arrive.

I personally think that this is an interesting children story, because, well... It's a Children Bedtime Story that is told by every parents in the whole world, and there is this 'other' meaning to it, rather than just the story itself. There is something more to it, the 'darker' side of it, the mature side of the story, that children in the world could never understand (as they grew up they will). In this perspective, we, as a mature person, see this story in a different angles from children, and thus, we saw a mysterious crafted timeless bedtime story that is still enjoyable for adults... The message is clear: Stay away from the forest and the Big Bad Wolf (for children), and don't talk to strangers (this also suited for the kids as well as adults), and to be careful of "predators".

P.S.: Anyway, in case you're not believing me, check Wiki for sure... :)

Back to Where I Belong

It's been months since the last time I updated my blog. I've been to LiveJournal since... Because this is my first blog and I technically had no experience in writing a blog and what I would write about, so I just thought that this blog is mainly used for movie reviews purposes...

And NOW, well, there seems to be an 'awkward' moment in which Hollywood movies are banned in my country. It's sad really. I don't watch movies anymore. Or so happens that I watched movie, but not 'good' movies... If you know what I mean.

So, I'm back to "where I belong" or "where I'm supposed to be"... Writing in my old blogger. Having two different blogs is a little... difficult, I write in this one, then write in the other too, simultaneously.

Anyway, I'm sort of lost of words right now, so I'll just go, finished my studies and back to work...

And anyway the thing is, LiveJournal is better for a blog... If you have many ideas that would turn into writing only, you can use that blog. But its lack of customization, and they also used a paid member system which is pretty annoying for me actually... Because I seldom used my blog, and this blog is only for my pasttime... :)

Oh, and the other thing is, Blogger is much better in customization, and also free of charge! It's just that it is a bit boring at times, and I still cannot maximize the usage of this blog... I don't know how actually... Haha, so sad...
