Wondering

-Tawaw-

 

 

Lyin’ in my bed,

staring at the ceiling.

thinkin nothing’s in my head..

But What’s this I’m feelin?..

 

Wanted to close my eyes,

But all I see you..

it was very silent..

But I’ve heard somethin’..

 

Can’t stop the tears fallin’,

And the loud of my heart’s beating..

My body was not moving..

But my mind and my heart was still crying..

 

Looking back the past behind,

to where my soul was stucked and I need to find..

I realized, my whole life was wondering..

“where are you now my friend!?”.. Pls hear me.. Shouting!..

 

******************************************************************************************************

 

Keeping

-Tawaw-

 

 

Waiting for the dark to come,

alone with fields of pain in my heart..

I hope you understand,

that I have love you from the start..

 

You’re the reason of this,

I just can’t let you go..

I feel I’m gonna freeze,

that’s why I wanted you to know..

 

Everytime I close my eyes,

My mind just filled of you..

Just waking up with all the lies,

I thought that I’d always knew..

 

Loving you was my life,

wish I could let it show..

but my days go black and white..

feels like it will blow..

 

How can I tell you?..

I’m afraid of losing you..

just like cutting my wrist..

and taking my life to risk…

 

I love you!..

that’s all I ever knew..

but you love him..

and I think pain’s get me drowning..

 

Whenever you get feel sadness and pains..

I’ll be there for you till the end..

with the clouds in the sky dancing..

painting your love for me, as if it was like dreaming..

 

 

***The Poem “keeping” is dedicated to my UTOL! for her very special girl in her dreams..

Transformers

                   Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an upcoming 2009 science fiction film due for release on June 26, 2009. It is the sequel to 2007’s Transformers, which was the first live action Transformers film. Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg return respectively as director and executive producer, while Shia LaBeouf reprises the role of Sam Witwicky, the human caught in the war between Autobots and Decepticons. Shooting began in May 2008.

Bay desired to give the sequel a bigger budget for a global scale and better characterization for a larger cast of robots. The main hurdle in getting the film produced was overcoming the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, as well as possible strikes by the Directors Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild. Bay met his shooting date with the help of previsualization and a scriptment by his writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and series newcomer Ehren Kruger.

Maxpayne

                                The 2001 video game Max Payne was optioned by the production company Collision Entertainment to produce a live-action film adaptation. By April 2002, distributors Dimension Films and Abandon Entertainment were attached to the project. Shawn Ryan, the creator of the television series The Shield, was hired to write a script for the planned film.By June 2005, without production starting, Collision Entertainment had taken the project to 20th Century Fox.In November 2007, with a script written by Beau Thorne, Fox announced John Moore as the director and Mark Wahlberg as the star in the titular role.

Filming began in Toronto on March 2, 2008 and wrapped by May 9, 2008.The film will be rated PG-13 in the United States, a departure from the M-rated video game series. Mila Kunis said of the tone-down, “It’s incredibly dark. You still get the gist of it. The only difference between R-rated and PG-13 is you might not see as much blood. You might not see blood squirting everywhere, but as far as the sadness and the darkness of it and the distraught [nature] of these human beings is very much captured in the film”.

Though filmed with the intention of receiving a PG-13 rating, Max Payne received an unofficial rating of R by the MPAA on September 5th 2008, which has resulted in a backlash from Moore.

As of September 22, 2008, a recent trailer has confirmed a PG-13 rating, for the following: “intense sequences of violence, some language, brief drug content, and brief sexual content including nudity.”[citation needed] Director John Moore has also confirmed in an interview with GameDaily’s John Gaudiosi that the film was awarded the PG-13 rating without any major changes being made to the film. Describing the re-editing process Moore stated, “We trimmed some frames more for the sake of trimming frames than anything, but we got the rating without any major changes at all.”

LYRICS:

I’ve always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I’ve got to say
But I have this dream
Bright inside of me
I’m gonna let it show, it’s time
To let you know
To let you know

This is real, this is me
I’m exactly where I’m suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I’ve found, who I am
There’s no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Do you know what it’s like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you’re the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it’s too far away
I have to believe in myself
It’s the only way

This is real, This is me
I’m exactly where I’m suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I’ve found, who I am
There’s no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You’re the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I’m singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You’re the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I’m exactly where I’m suppose to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I’ve found, who I am
There’s no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You’re the missing piece I need
The song inside of me (this is me)
You’re the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I’m singing
Now I’ve found, who I am
There’s no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me. ..

GoTTa FiNd YoU by Joe JoNaS

 

LyRics:

 

Everytime I think I’m closer to the heart
Of what it means to know just who I am
I think I’ve finally found a better place to start
But no one ever seems to understand
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, your not that far..

You’re the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I’m singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You’re the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

You’re the remedy I’m searching hard to find
To fix the puzzle that I see inside
Painting all my dreams the color of your smile
When I find you it will be alright
I need to try to get to where you are
Could it be, your not that far

You’re the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I’m singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You’re the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

Been feeling lost, can’t find the words to say
Spending all my time stuck in yesterday
Where you are is where I want to be
Oh next to you… and you next to me
Oh I need to find you… yeah!..

You’re the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I’m singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you (yeah)
You’re the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you…

You’re the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I’m singing
I need to find you (I need to find you)
I gotta find you (I gotta find you)
You’re the missing piece I need, the song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you….Yeah, yeah… I gotta find you..

Avril Lavigne

                Avril Lavigne Whibley (born September 27, 1984), better known by her birth name of Avril Lavigne (pronounced /ˈævrɨl ləˈviːn/), is a Canadian Grammy Award-nominated rock singer, songwriter, fashion designer, and actress. In 2006, Canadian Business Magazine ranked her the seventh most powerful Canadian in Hollywood.

               Lavigne’s debut album, Let Go, was released in 2002. Over 16 million copies were sold worldwide and it was certified six times platinum in the United States. Her second and third albums sold less well, Under My Skin (2004) at over 9 million copies and The Best Damn Thing (2007) currently over 5.3 million copies; the latter reached number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. Lavigne has scored six number one songs worldwide and a total of eleven top ten hits, including “Complicated”, “Sk8er Boi”, “I’m With You”, “My Happy Ending” and “Girlfriend,” which became #1 hits in the ARC Top 40.In December 2007, Lavigne was ranked at #7 in the Forbes “Top 20 Earners Under 25″, with annual earnings of $12 million.Currently, Avril Lavigne has sold about 30 million albums worldwide.

Let Go (2002–2003)
Main article: Let Go (Avril Lavigne album)
Let Go was released on June 4, 2002 in the United States, it has reached number two there and number one in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This made Lavigne, at seventeen, the youngest female soloist to have a number-one album in the UK up until that time. The album shows definite pop rock roots; however, alternative and post-grunge influences can be heard in some of the songs.

Just over one month after its release, Let Go reached multi-platinum status in late-August,and was certified triple platinum two weeks after.Four singles from the album were released. The first single, “Complicated” went to number one in Australia, while reaching number two on the U.S. Hot 100, and it was one of the best-selling Canadian singles of 2002. Lavigne tied a record set by Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” when “Complicated” held the number one spot on the contemporary hit radio chart (which tracks air play on the radio) for eleven weeks in a row.”Sk8er Boi” reached the top ten in the U.S. and Australia, “I’m With You” reached the top ten in the U.S and the UK, and “Losing Grip” reached the top ten in Taiwan and the top twenty in Chile.

Lavigne was named “Best New Artist” at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, won four Juno Awards in 2003 (out of six nominations), received a World Music Award for “World’s Best-Selling Canadian Singer”, and was nominated for eight Grammy Awards, including “Song of the Year” for “Complicated” and “Best New Artist”.

Under My Skin (2004–2006)
Main article: Under My Skin
Lavigne’s second album, Under My Skin, was released on May 25, 2004, in the U.S. It debuted at number one in the U.S., the UK, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Ireland, Thailand, Korea and Hong Kong and sold more than 380,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week.Lavigne wrote most of the album with Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, though some tracks were co-written by Ben Moody (formerly of Evanescence), Butch Walker of Marvellous 3, her former lead guitarist Evan Taubenfeld, and her former drummer Matt Brann. Kreviazuk’s husband, Our Lady Peace front man Raine Maida, co-produced the album with Butch Walker and Don Gilmore.

This album has a stronger alternative feel, along with songs showing punk-pop edges (such as He Wasn’t and I Always Get what I Want), or soft post-grunge sounds (Freak Out and Who Knows).

Lead single “Don’t Tell Me” went to number one in Argentina and Mexico, the top five in the UK and Canada, and the top ten in Australia and Brazil. “My Happy Ending” went to number one in Mexico and it reached the top ten in the U.S. making it her third-biggest hit there, but third single “Nobody’s Home” did not make the top forty in the U.S., and it only went to number one in Mexico and Argentina. The fourth single from the album, “He Wasn’t”, reached top forty positions in the UK and Australia, and was not released in the U.S.[32] “Fall to Pieces” was released as the final single from the album, but did not do as well as previous singles.

The Best Damn Thing (2007–present)
Main article: The Best Damn Thing
 
Lavigne in Hong Kong, 2007.Lavigne’s third album, The Best Damn Thing, was released on April 17, 2007 and debuted at number one in the U.S. The album was produced by Dr. Luke, Lavigne’s husband Deryck Whibley, Rob Cavallo, Butch Walker and Lavigne.

On Ryan Seacrest’s radio show Lavigne said that “When You’re Gone” would be the second single. Lavigne’s third single from the album is “Hot”. The fourth and final single of the album is “The Best Damn Thing”.

“Girlfriend” has been used as the theme song for the Japanese idol hosted talk show Cartoon KAT-TUN. On May 2, 2007, she made a guest appearance during the show. She played a game of darts with the KAT-TUN group.

Lavigne has been doing a small tour to promote The Best Damn Thing, with tickets available only to members of her fan club.

Lavigne has a star tattooed on the inside of her left wrist that matches the style of the one used for her first album artwork. It was created at the same time as friend and musical associate Ben Moody’s identical tattoo. In late 2004, she had a small pink heart-shaped tattoo featuring the letter ‘D’ applied to her right wrist, which represents her now husband Deryck Whibley.

In February 2004, she began dating fellow Canadian singer Deryck Whibley, the lead singer/guitarist of punk band Sum 41. On June 27, 2005, Lavigne and Whibley became engaged.[69] Whibley proposed to Lavigne by surprising her with a trip to Venice, a gondola ride, and then a romantic picnic.

The couple married in a Catholic ceremony attended by about 110 guests on July 15, 2006 at a private estate in Montecito, California. When asked if they were ready for kids the couple said “not right now but somewhere down the road.”

Avril once said in an interview that her favorite party song is “Hey Ya”, by Outkast. She likes listening to Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Marilyn Manson, System of a Down and Blink-182, and loves especially the track “I Miss You”. Asked what she would put on a mix tape to a boy she liked, Avril answered: “Iris”, by Goo Goo Dolls. I’d put a few Coldplay and Oasis songs. Radiohead — The Bends is one of my favorite albums.”.

The majority of Paramore’s recordings come from collaborations between lead vocalist Hayley Williams and lead guitarist Josh Farro — Farro first writes the music, afterwards taking it to Williams for a melody and lyrics, and from that point the song worked out between the two. Once the foundation is laid out, the remaining band members help to work on sound and arrangement. The duo’s songwriting has had its critics, being called “contrastly cliched and weak at points”. while others have said the songs are “ridiculously catchy” and “sing-a-long worthy”.

 

Riot! (2007–present)

In January 2006 they were a part of the Winter Go West Tour where they played alongside Seattle bands Amber Pacific and The Lashes, and in February, Williams’ vocals were featured on “Keep Dreaming Upside Down” by October Fall. In the spring 2006, Paramore was an opening act on headlining tours for both Bayside and soon afterwards, The Rocket Summer. They toured the United Kingdom from October 5 to October 15, 2006, where they ended in London at The Mean Fiddler. The band then covered Foo Fighters’ “My Hero” for the Sound of Superman soundtrack which was released on June 26, 2006. During the summer of 2006, Paramore played a portion of Warped Tour, primarily on the Volcom and Hurley Stages, and their first night on the Main Stage was at a date in their hometown of Nashville. Paramore’s first United States headlining tour began on August 2, 2006 to a sold-out audience with support from This Providence, Cute Is What We Aim For, and Hit the Lights with the final show in Nashville. That year they were voted “Best New Band”, and Williams as #2 “Sexiest Female”, by readers of the British magazine Kerrang!.

In 2007, Paramore was named by British magazine NME as one of ten bands to watch out for in their “New Noise 2007″ feature. In January, the band played an acoustic set for the grand opening of a Warped Tour exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the dress Williams wore in the video for “Emergency” was also put onto display in the exhibit. Paramore was featured in Kerrang! magazine once more, however, Williams believed the article was an untrue portrayal of the band, particularly because it focused on her as the main component. Afterwards, Williams addressed the issue in the band’s LiveJournal, with a post saying, “we could’ve done without a cover piece. sorry, if it offends anyone at Kerrang! but i don’t think there was one bit of truth in that article.” In April, Williams’ vocals were featured in “Then Came To Kill” by The Chariot. They headlined a tour in early 2007 with This Providence, The Almost and Love Arcade.

Paramore began recording their second album Riot! in January 2007, ending production in March, without the guitar of Hunter Lamb (who left the band early in 2007 to get married); without Lamb, lead guitarist Farro was required to play both guitar parts on the album.Lamb has since been replaced by guitarist Taylor York, who had been in a band with the Farro brothers before the two met Williams, as temporary member for the duration of touring. After being courted by producers Neal Avron and Howard Benson, Paramore opted to record Riot! with New Jersey producer David Bendeth (Your Vegas, Breaking Benjamin), releasing the album on June 12, 2007. Riot! entered the Billboard 200 at number 20, the UK charts at number 24, and sold 44,000 its first week in the United States. The name Riot! had been chosen because it meant “a sudden outburst of uncontrolled emotion”, and it was a word that “summed it all up”. The first single from the album, released June 21, 2007, “Misery Business”, is, according to Williams, “more honest than anything I’ve ever written, and the guys matched that emotion musically”. Paramore was featured on the cover of February 2008 issue of Alternative Press magazine and voted “Best Band Of 2007″ by the readers. The band was nominated for “Best New Artist” at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards presented on February 10, 2008 but lost to Amy Winehouse. Early 2008 saw Paramore touring the United Kingdom, supporting their album Riot!, along with New Found Glory, Kids in Glass Houses and Conditions. In early February 2008, the band began a tour in Europe, however on February 21, 2008, the band announced that they had cancelled 6 shows due to personal issues. Williams wrote on the band’s web site that “the break will give that band ‘a chance to get away and work out our personal issues’”. Mtv.com reported that fans of Paramore were speculating about the future of the band and reported rumours of trouble had been began earlier in the month when Josh Farro expressed his anger against the media’s focus on Williams. The band, however, returned to their hometown to record the music video for the fourth single “That’s What You Get”, which was then released on March 24, 2008.

The band toured with Jimmy Eat World in the United States in April and May 2008. The band headlined the Give It A Name festival in the United Kingdom on May 10 and May 11, 2008. Also the band performed on the In New Music We Trust Stage at Radio 1’s One Big Weekend in Mote Park, Kent on May 10, 2008. Paramore will have their debut Irish performance at the RDS in Dublin, Ireland on June 2, 2008. Also, Paramore will perform at the 2008 Vans Warped Tour from July 1- July 6, 2008.

On MTV’S TRL, May 7, 2008, lead singer, Hayley Williams said that the band was working on a new album, and that it would hopefully be released by next summer. Hayley says she and the band have been practising the new songs during the sound checks on tour.[citation needed] In an Alternative Press cover story, Zac Farro speculated on a forthcoming album, saying that it would sound like bands Mew, Thrice, and Arcade Fire.

On May 19, Paramore announced on their website that they will be going on tour again, the tour being named “The Final RIOT! Tour” and starting July 25 and ending September 1. On this tour, the band performed part of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”.

On September 2 Paramore released a collaboration hoodie along with Hurley Clothing based on the album Riot!. All proceeds will go to the Love146 Foundation.

Paramore will be touring in Mexico and Brazil in October. Paramore’s new song “Decode” will be the lead single for the novel-based Twilight film. Another song, currently unnamed, will also be featured on the film’s soundtrack.
Alternative Press and various other reviewers have noted that the band’s stage performances have helped boost them to larger fame. Alternative Press states that Williams “has more charisma than singers twice her age, and her band aren’t far behind in their chops, either.” Singer-songwriter John Mayer had praised William’s voice in a blog in October 2007, calling her “The great orange hope”; “orange” in reference to her hair color.Because of the female fronted aspect of the band, Paramore has gained comparisons to Kelly Clarkson and the afore mentioned Avril Lavigne, to which one reviewer said was “sorely unfounded.”Reviewer Jonathan Bradley noted that “Paramore attacks its music with infectious enthusiasm,” however, he also explained that “there isn’t a whole lot of difference between Riot! and the better songs from Kelly Clarkson or Avril Lavigne.” A reviewer at NME had likened Paramore’s sound to that of “No Doubt (stripped of all the ska bollocks)” and “Kelly Clarkson’s wildest dreams”. Williams has gone on to comment about the female aspect of the band saying that Paramore is not “this girl-fronted band” and it makes “music for people to enjoy music, not so people can talk about my sexuality”.

Paramore has expressed their influence for creating the band and their music had come from appreciation for Jimmy Eat World, Chicago, Sunny Day Real Estate, Death Cab for Cutie and Failure; Williams citing her personal influences as Robert Smith of The Cure and Etta James. Williams explained that bands such as U2, “who are massive, and do whatever they want, write whatever they want and they stand for something”, Jimmy Eat World, “who I don’t think ever disappoint their fans,” and No Doubt, who “have done amazing things,” act as a pattern for the path in which Paramore would like to take their career.

In an interview with the BBC, Josh Farro stated “Our faith is very important to us. It’s obviously going to come out in our music because if someone believes something then their worldview is going to come out in anything they do. But we’re not out here to preach to kids, we’re out here because we love music.”
