Angst love

"Use those hands of yours to stain me
Repeatedly, destroy me
If this body will eventually fall apart
I would rather be eroded by your love

If this feeling will disappear one day
I would rather be torn apart by your love now"

If there is one thing you need to know about me, it's that I'm an absolute sucker for ballads. Basically, I will listen to anyone who sings a decent ballad, even if they're carbon-copied boy bands or pop princesses (though, a couple of ballads won't make me like any of the boy band/pop princess enough to run out and buy their CDs).

I'm even a bigger sucker for sad/depressed/angst love ballads, so after hearing the new song from Hirai Ken (and reading the lyrics translation), it's my new favorite song. Heck, it's already been played 37 times according to my iTunes :D "Darker" love tunes just gets to me because they actually do make me feel all emotional inside ~_^

(This is really a post to play with the Insert Video function and make my vox space less empty ^_^)

The sky pirate and the princess

After finishing FFXII, I'm strangely engrossed by the idea of AsheXBalthier :D (spoiler-ish info in next line) And after seeing the Japanese ending on YouTube, hearing Ashe trails off in the line ("I...") and screams his name at the end (which was so much more haunting than the English version ^_^), I'm more convinced that SE is hinting that there is something between them :D I think the princess needs her sky pirate to whisk her away once in a while ;)

Anyway, as for the game itself, I could say a lot of things about it. It is...good and bad at the same time? Haha. I liked it a lot better than FFX though. Post more about it later, since I should head off to cook dinner XD

Other things I've been watching:

Kanon - I began watching it just to see what's all the fuss about, and the first few episodes are actually too slow to capture my interest. But later on...wow, it is sure captivating in a strange way.

Death note - L rules XD Light rules XD Two of them animated = totally rules XD

24 - Poor, poor ol' Jack. I wanna give him a big hug XD

Whether or not this will be utilized will be the question

The interface of Vox is certainly more fresh than the ol' LJ, but do I blog enough to warrant the need for two blogs is the big question :)

I am thinking of making this a personal blog and keeping the LJ for my internet related life. *thinks*
