SEX and ZEN. The Crazy Stuff People Do.

SHE’S SWEATY …..

HE’S LICKY …..

HE’S HOT …..

“Let’s DOUSE the HEAT by DANCING in the SHOWER.”

(SOME like it HOT. Surely.)

NO, I am not a prude, but a penny for your thoughts, chum.

Seriously.

There should be a list of things that fire your imagination, stir your creative juices or add value to your life.

Nobody’s gonna blame you for getting distracted on this one.

Not when the radio is nosily blasting right behind, and this singer is in the throes of hysteria when he laments, “Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me.”

As if anybody care.

Life’s real, so beat it. Everybody has his own latent issues to deal with.

We know that each and every of us are prone to having our unwarranted share of grey days.

Staying alive can be dense, spiced with irksome moments of intensity – emotional, sensual, the list goes on.

Yeah, go scream your lungs out. But don’t ever do drugs.

Take a cue from a recent celebrity’s sudden demise.

‘Tis a matter that may grab you by the horn … or balls.

Any fool is aware that sex arrives in spurts and trouble looms in gushes.

Confronted with isolated sexual or philosophical matters?

No problem.  You are never alone for this one.

These days, you can have your cake and eat it too.

Sex sells: in books, on DVDs, in cinemas or you dive discreetly undercover through blogs, whichever.

 Let’s begin with a paradoxical topic.

The December month in ASIA is mostly wet.

 APRIL is ever-so-humid.

Conjugating in the shower with your loved one is only a temporary measure to douse body heat.

While the world world waits, there are other glaring issues that will forever remain unresolved.

You witness:

Gloom and doom.

Mankind at war.

Mother earth’s rocking with quakes.

Impoverished people are dying in swarms.

Some governments are not seeing eye to eye.

Economies are plunging.

What’s worse …..

The days are scorching hot,

the nights are unbearably warm.

Blame it on this global warming – or warning.

Someone needs to extinguish the fire.

Let’s unite to render whatever effort we can raise to ease the load.

The earth’s crust is thinning -

And before long ,

mankind is going up in a smoke.

HILDA DOOLITTLE expounds:

“O wind, rend open the heat,
cut apart the heat,
rend it to tatters.

Fruit cannot drop
through this thick air–
fruit cannot fall into heat
that presses up and blunts
the points of pears
and rounds the grapes.

Cut the heat–
plough through it,
turning it on either side
of your path.”

It’s a case of unbecoming jargons.

Corny, stupid, we may call this.

But remember, there’s always a little truth behind “just kidding”.

And a little curiosity behind “just wondering”.

That is, if we care to cut through the clutter and check this out.

Will you?

“THIS MEANS WAR” Movie Review. Harmless Entertainment where ALL’s FAIR in LOVE and WAR.

“THIS MEANS WAR” PRESS PREVIEW

In addressing this film, let’s take note that there are two definitive schools of thought.

What’s sauce for the goose ain’t going to be sauce for the gander.

It’s a case of “never the twain shall meet”.

In the West, “THIS MEANS WAR” received more than a critical mauling.

Irate reviewers are only too happy to laud it with a critical backlash.

It’s a “perfectly dreadful” flick, they rated.

Is it really?

The Asian audiences share a different mindset.

You can hear squeals and guffaws of infectious laughter throughout the preview, indicating that the press members must have enjoyed the movie.

Shouldn’t they be?

“THIS MEANS WAR” might cram in a lot:

All at once its’ a romantic comedy, sex farce, buddy-and-action flick, spy spoof all rolled into one.

Two chums are platonic sworn brothers.

They are highly-skilled CIA agents who will unhesitatingly go out on a limb to hold the fort for each other.

Yes, everything for the sake of the divine brotherhood.

That is, until they discover they are both in love with the same woman.

Now this is unforgivable.

You cannot control the green-eyed monster of jealousy when it rears its ugly head.

Now they are turning their backs on each other to bag the woman they both love.

All’s fair in love and war, and the best man wins.

So they head for war, a different kind.

Here’s where the fun to start.

Lead actress REESE WITHERSPOON is utterly charming.

Her leading men CHRIS PINE and TOM HARDY are sexy and swell.

Good acting, a fun-fun script, though not without flaws.

An entertaining popcorn bromance with a feel-good timing helmed by director McG.

I wouldn’t mind spending two hours of escapism and leave the cinema feeling good.

Go watch it, for all it is worth.

But please, first decide if you’d wear an Asian or Western mind.

“I’LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU.” Here’s a Vintage Goodie. It’s Love Actually.

YOU MAY FIGHT …..

BUT IN THE END, LOVE CONQUERS ALL.

Take a deep breath.

Do you FEEL that LOVE is all AROUND?

Listen to this vintage goodie by JUDITH DURHAM and THE SEEKERS.

The lyrics speak for themselves.

Treasure “little moments” with the one you love but had always taken for granted.

Savour romance once more.

Time and Tide wait for no man

and you may not have a second chance …

There’s no life without love.

Really.

“There’s a new world somewhere
They call The Promised Land
And I’ll be there some day
If you will hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I’ll never find another you.

There is always someone
For each of us they say
And you’ll be my someone
For ever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I’ll never find another you.

It’s a long, long journey
So stay by my side
When I walk through the storm
You’ll be my guide, be my guide.

If they gave me a fortune
My treasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don’t know what I’ll do
For I know I’ll never find another you.

[Instrumental Interlude]

But if I should lose your love, dear
I don’t know what I’ll do
For I know I’ll never find another you.

Another you, another you …”

“BEAUTY and the BEAST” (3D) Movie Review. A CINEMATIC TREASURE that still retains all of its OLD SCHOOL CHARM.

“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” Press Preview in 3D

It’s great to be in love, right?

Love stories should always have blissful fairy tale endings.

We miff, sniff and smile whenever we cheer the hero and his lady as they are locked in a heart-wrenching embrace at the closure of a feature film.

Yeah, the whole world would always welcome lovers.

Notwithstanding happily-ever-after endings.

“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” was a commercial and critical 1991 hit nominated then for a Best Picture Oscar, and remains one of the most memorable love animation film ever produced.

It is now re-set to grace the giant screen again, in the splendor of the magnificent 3D realm, without losing any of the original magic.

For the baby boomer, it is a must-trudge down memory lane.

For the family and the young lovers, this is wholesome entertainment showcasing on how love, in the right dosage, can melt hearts and change anybody’s perspective about life.

The film focuses on an arrogant prince who has been transformed into a Beast.

He imprisons a young beautiful woman named Belle in his castle.

To restore himself as a prince again, the Beast must fall in love with Belle and win her affection in return.

Or he will remain a Beast forever.

Sharing all the brilliance is a heart-stomping soundtrack with showstopping musical production numbers.

The simple story, the cutesy characters and the lovely songs will blow you all the way to the moon.

You will relish in the timeless pleasures of traditional Disney storytelling.

Step right in this second time around, in 3D and be mesmerized by the characters “floating” towards you whilst you are transported into the magical world of Disney’s.

BEHOLD, vintage wine mellows well.

The COMPLEXITY of LIFE in one MERRY GO-ROUND.

LIFT your HANDS and EMBRACE this TROUBLED WORLD.

Staying alive can be one merry-go-round. You bet.

Mankind’s struggle for the greater power and supreme religion will never cease.

We’ll journey through this life’s eternal regime over and over again.

MONEY is never ENOUGH?

It seems so.

Money brings harmony and that is latent security in the right dosage.

We’ll unhesitatingly sacrifice health in order to make more money.

But WHY fight a brutal WAR?

Mass destruction just for Power and Pomp?

Is this sheer Madness?

Just look at the ravages and you tell me.
