Cruel intentions

Another Sunday night! Hella God I didn't fall asleep before mid-night! Because ....
I was watching Cruel Intentions ( 1999). I watched it when I was in the early of middle school, about 12 or 13 i believe. And then I was SO into PLACEBO, in an age. And then last month I brushed up on my music, I realized I've forgotten them in such a long time. You know, the video Every me every you, the biggest hit is also a hit soundtrack of Cruel Intentions, I was looking for this song but I could not find them, as I didn't have internet at home, and I did not even know the tittle of that film. Ok, let's go to the point ...
The film is ace! It's genuinely considered as one of the teen movies, in 90s. But it's not really teenage, i think. It's about 2 step brother sister playing a game among their relationships, or exact is their partner-ships. Until the brother, Sebastian (Ryan Phillippe), realizes he has fallen for Annette (Reese Witherspoon), who sworn to stay a virgin throughout her teenage years. He has such an angel, charming face, even though he's not really tall! I love how he was infatuated by Annette, and was like a wreck when she denied ( hey, don't listen to my words, you'd better check it yourself). Ryan and Reese was a couple after this film, they married and now already divorced.

Annete is just only a supported character...

I wonder how old they are in the film ...

This girl, Kathryn, always want to company by a man, always horny

Isn't it a platonic love?

Banh Duc

Howdy doo, people!

Today is so~~~~ busy !!! I went to a fabric shop in Ben Thanh market and paid more than 500,000 VND ( ~ 25$ ) for 22 meters of velvet voiles with the width is just only 1m2! Then I had it delivered to my house, because they didn’t store that amounts in the shop, so they offered to deliver it right to my place. I came back home and wait… wait… wait. They said it might be 30 minutes late, so I kept on waiting … Until I lost my patience, I spent more than 3 calls to that shop to remind them that I didn’t have time to wait for their late. So I asked my sister to take care of the delivery for being off to another material shop. I went to a big supplier market in District 5, which called Dai Quang Minh to buy some tutu. For gosh sake, it’s almost increased one-third of the price I last bought in November. You might find it strange to complain about the price a tenner for per meter of tutu, but in Vietnam, It only costs you about 22,000 VND/meter. I have to buy 10m tutu, and it’s out of my plan.

I’ve spent almost 100$ on material shopping. No fun!

Then I had a meet with Ms Janet in the library. To finish the writing research she has been doing. We moved to another place called Things coffee as the library closed. Suddenly I thought of Banh Duc while writing about the Northern history, one kind of traditional flour cake in Viet Nam, which make us both starving. It’s slippery, full round bowl and often be accompanied with soy sauce. There are various types of Banh Duc, and the one I’ve just mentioned is the Northern style.

Boo! It's Sunday!

I came back home after a big shooting day. I’m now feeling nothing but exhausted. Never thought I would have a big talent of shooting picture, and it was a few years ago… Actually I utilize my knowledge of DSLR camera, studio lighting and sort of instinct. And here I go.

Last 2 days were definitely incredible, I mean me and the models. One of them is my best friend, Khanh, and I really am grateful for her effort (She’s not a professional one). We worked our ass off until the sun came down, and tried to keep the mood straight even we’d already sore. My lecturer was so nice to support us all the shooting time. He helped on styling and arranging time table. Will I send him a lot of love tomorrow no?

I didn’t mean to write today, I was thinking about hangin’ out. But what should I do with my sore back and wrists after all? I cannot ride my bike at this time, it might cause an actual serious accident… Oh gross! I can’t even imagine now ( I’m too tired!). I tried to phone one of my friend, and he didn’t pick up the phone. So, staying home. Go to sleep early would be done next, after this one. Sleeping is incredibly sacred now!
