On the blanket of white

30 Seconds to Mars talking about the experience of being in Greenland to shoot A Beautiful Lie, the challenges they faced while shooting atop massive bodies of ice, all for a single cause of spreading that message that the Earth is not going to live as long if we don't try to help it.

MAA Malaysia 2008

The news is out! It has been announced! 

MTV Asia Awards 2008 will be held on August 2 at Genting - City of Entertainment.

And the host will be none other than *drum ber-rolling*

JARED LETO

I am surprised, very surprised. Of all people, how did he get involved. Yes I have to go. It will be stupid if this is the closest I'll be to the frontman of my fav band, and I don't go for it. I'll be 21 by then. Daddy dearest has to let me go. Damn, they're so close they might as well come to Singapore *silently prays* ... more about MTV Asia Awards 2008

Something to end the night.

Sound escape

30 SECONDS TO MARS





























This song is perfect for a lot of moments. My second favourite after The Kill because it truly is cathartic.

Kelly went to Polly

Here's a random poll I found while a snooping around Buzznet.

BATTLE OF THE BLUE EYES

Much like the sky, the ocean and the Smurfs, the color blue can be striking on the right set of eyes. Take a look at these musicians and vote on whose pair of baby-blues hold your attention the longest. Start making music or get some colored contacts and you can be on this list too!

http://www.buzznet.com/web/music/polls/98871/

Contenders inclue: Mike Dirnt - Green Day, Joe Trohman - Fall Out Boy, Avril Lavigne, Jared - 30 Seconds To Mars, David Ryan - Every Avenue, and others (you can suggest and vote if they're not on there!).

It's 9.15 pm

Haha I'm bored now so I thought of putting up something.


Jared post-filming of Chapter 27 (FOX news)

"Mr Nobody" is coming!

I am excited. Jared's new movie is coming out in 2008-2009. Here's the skinny!

Mr Nobody

Nemo Nobody leads an ordinary existence at his wife's side, Elise, and their 3 children until the day when reality skids and he wakes up as an old man in the year 2092. At 120, Mr. Nobody is both the oldest man in the world and the last mortal of a new mankind where nobody dies anymore. 

But that doesn't seem to interest or bother him very much. The only questions that preoccupy him in the present is whether he lived the right life for himself, loved the woman whom he was supposed to love, and had the children whom he was meant to have... now his purpose is to find the right answer. 

So  it's almost like Rip Van Winkle. I think there's a few different versions but the one I know of is,

Rip Van Winkle is a man loved by all except his wife. One autumn day, he escapes his wife by wandering up the mountains. After encountering strangely dressed men and drinking some of their liquor, he settles down under a shady tree and falls asleep. He wakes up twenty years later, only to find his wife is dead and his close friends have died in a war or gone somewhere else.

So lunchtime yesterday, after a pleasant visit to Guardian (to grab me a pack of soft, winged kotex) we made our way to our food destination. That was when we passed by the GREAT MAGAZINE STORE cos it has the most variety of magazines I've seen. And its run by a great bunch of Indians.

I remembered the magazine store being there as a kid, and it's still here today! The great thing is there's always something new to see everyday.

So anyway, we were walking by when I looked to up to my left and stopped. My heart probably stopped along with it. There peeking from behind another magazine was Tomo's (extreme left) face. When I pulled the mag out, I almost fainted. Call it obsession or whatever but it's not all the time I get to see my favourite band on the cover of a magazine. Esp. here in SG.

That's why this GREAT MAGAZINE STORE run by a great bunch of Indians is simply GREATastic.

The sad thing was that it cost $10.10 cos its imported which meant I had to give up my lunch money. And for 30 Seconds To Mars I did. A friend said he still cant believe I would give up a meal just for a magazine.

I told him you won't know till you're in my shoes.

If you REALLY like a band or a person or some other thing you're passionate about, you'd want to go out and support them. My reason for buying the mag is because I like the band and I want to get to know more about them. It might be an obsession but I don't care. I just know I love this band and no one else should be bothered about it.

Hah! Finally submitted something for the 30 Seconds To Green campaign!

Modern Myth

There was a moment when I felt I was holding the biggest secret I could ever hold in my entire lifetime, that even my best friend could not know and that all hell and heaven and whatever
will break loose if they did..

but when the truth came out, it was one of the worst feelings I had.. and at that point, this song came on my mp3 player...

---

Did we create a modern myth
did we imagine half of it
would happen in a thought from now
save yourself, save yourself

The secret is out, the secret is out...

To buy the truth and sell a lie
the last mistake before you die
so don't forget to breathe tonight
tonight's the last so say good-bye

The secret is out, the secret is out...

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...

30 Seconds To Mars - From Yesterday

From Yesterday (live from MTV Latin VMAs 07).

From Yesterday

I've been a fan of 30 Seconds to Mars for close to three years even though they've been around for close to a decade. But they have helped me see the value in a lot of things I never would, and helped me escape to a different world when I really needed to. And for that I'm ready to devote to them.

When I just knew 30stm they still weren't very well-known yet, maybe in the US but not here. I bought their album online cos it wasn't available in Singapore yet (it costs more but it's probably better than the ones sold here anyway. it's a special edition version hoho).

Like any other idiots, I thought, oh another rock band. But I watched more and more of their performances and interviews, I realised there was more to just 4 guys playing music. And I'm not one who goes for bands because they're good-looking. That's like the pop 90s era. What's important now is the character behind the faces of the band, the themes that surround them, the fact that they make good, legitimate music, and good looks are just a bonus.

As much as I tried they (30stm) kept stalking me. In my dreams, my thoughts, my opinions. So I felt I needed to know more about them.

2006-2007 are probably the best years they've had so far. They are at their peak. It's great to see how far they've come.
