There's a lot of girly stuffs, faerie stuff you can find there, mostly about creative arts involving talents in weaving up thing which me and Zombie could never master.

Household warfare?

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 07:31:00 +0000

Now this is really cool;
Good job soldier.
What you are seeing is the wave of military technology coming right into our living room. Guess there will be no more couch potato but instead we should call them couch commando!

Lets kick balls!

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 07:20:00 +0000

Well, who would've thought that soccer is actually a violent sport...and it involves not just the players but the fans too. Awesome! follow the link below for the actions.
Let's kick balls!

Run Number 4!! Run!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Roldan Quill) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 14:15:00 +0000

They caught Number One in Malaysia...
Number Two in England...
And Number Three in Kenya...

This is the second time somebody ever includes Malaysia in their story. Although one was written by Zombie Extraordinaire himself as a setting for the first population wiped by zombie outbreak, and this time it's alien slipping through our fingers but still... there're something to be proud of (i guess...). At least there's somebody out there who still know there's a place called Malaysia on the face of earth. I wonder whether James Frey and Jobie Hughes should get Dato' title for this... What do you think Zombie E.? Lost Faerie? Should they?

Well, I'm not going to spoil this movie for you but let me break the reviews out there down for you. "I am number four" had gain 30 percent of tomatometer (applause, applause!), C- in yahoo movies, and 6.5 gold stars in IMDb, thus summing it up to an average movie to watch. But personally, I kinda like this movie. I might've hate the way those Mogadorian freaks were acting but I kinda enjoyed it. So people, zombies, vampires out there who are still hesitating to watch the movie, please knock yourself out and you won't regret it. (Nod, nod).

Director:D.J. Caruso
Writers:Alfred Gough (screenplay), Miles Millar (screenplay), and 3 more credits »
Stars:Alex Pettyfer, Timothy Olyphant and Dianna Agron

If the masked crusaders like the tv shows in Japan existed, this guy must be one of them.

Google Terrorism?

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 13:35:00 +0000

By now, Google has already starts removing torrents keywords and search recommendations as an 'act to fight piracy'. But little that we know that Google is gladly to suggest and assist you whenever you need to...kidnap a child, make bombs, threatens the president...and so on.

Jonas Brother Terminator

Just something that makes me go lol today.

If you're not a big fan of Jonas Brothers, donating to this guy is certainly worth the cause.

5 Reasons Why I Like Scott Pilgrim.

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 17:32:00 +0000

1. The movie is basically written in pop-culture language. Grungy music, comic books, video games, ex-boyfriends, awkward teens, martial arts...I just can't seem to hate any of that.

2. Unpretentious. Though the script and dialogues are very shallow (as expected) but Scott Pilgrim does not try to preach nor teach you any lesson, which is great. I hate movies who has things blowing up on the screen but try to cram lessons down your throat at the same time. Scott says what needed to be said and does what needed to be done. No extraneous, exhaustive dialogues.

3. Visually daring. It's very colorful and there's always something cool to grab your attention that pops onto the screen every couple of seconds. A stylistic approach that is so bizarre but works surprisingly well. That's the reason why we love our video game and animes...right?

4. Quirky. From mystical powers that involves evil hipster chicks to vegan with psychic powers, the movie keeps us wondering what will Scott fight next and the thing he does in order to defeat the evil exes.

5. It's frenetically fun. This is the movie where all rational thoughts are dead. It's perhaps the closest any filmmaker has come yet to translating comic book material directly to the movie screen. No logic required...because it is just comic book, when does comic book ever need logic. That's why they invented them in the first place...for the fun of it.

Those are my top 5 reasons why I like Scott Pilgrim.

Have you seen it? Do you love it or hate it? Post a comment as I love to hear what you guys think.

Xperia X10 pinch to zoom?

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 10:43:00 +0000

SE just announced that they are working really hard to bring such feature to the Xperia X10. Omg that's really lame, with all the technologies SE still lacks pinch to zoom feature which almost every top bracket smartphone posses nowadays.

My advice, stay away from the Xperia X10. It is not a good phone anyway. It just lacking in every aspects that todays market could offer you. There are loads of better android phones out there.

More info on the updates can be found here

Mobile blogging

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:02:00 +0000

If you're an apple user, and also blogs, these two apps would certainly worth a try. BlogBooster and BlogSpace are two great apps for blogging on the apple device. That is, if you don't want to jailbreak your device.

BlogBooster features a complete blogging tool with rich text and pictures support via Picasa integration. The free version does not support multiple account posting.

If you're looking for something simpler then the BlogSpace is indeed the app you'd want to check out. BlogSpace also features Picasa integration with an option to embed YouTube videos into post.

Both apps are available for free on AppStore.

PSP phone

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 05:41:00 +0000

It's been a while, I know. But no matter, I decided to make a comeback and talk to you guys about great stuff. Lets get straight to the story.

Finally the PSP phone is coming to light after so many years. The phone, manufactured under the name Xperia play will pack a 4inch 854×480 LCD display, 8 megapixel camera, single-core CPU running at a maximum 1GHz, 512MB RAM and of course the slide-out PlayStation style controller.

The Xperia play is reported to run Android 2.3 operating system with some Sony Ericsson customization. Besides the tech specs, not much is known for this phone. Xperia play release date is still pending.

For more info head over to Richard Lai full review for a detail rundown for this device.

Unleash the Gunslinger!

noreply@blogger.com (Roldan Quill) — Sat, 01 May 2010 02:36:00 +0000

Damn! This is huge and the news practically made me to open up a whisky; you know, just to make sure that I’m not dreaming. Roland, a character from the "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King is under consideration to be on screen for a movie trilogy.

Recently, Imagine Entertainment and Weed Road were having a negotiation with Universal about this; which also considering a spin-off TV-series. Imagine’s own director, Ron Howard is under consideration as the director, which in my opinion is a really big burden for him. There’s a lot of fan out there Ron, almost the entire population on earth and imagine that you had to carry the hopes of these people to make the movie works. What if you fuck up and everything a mess? This entire population of fan will surely bang you for at least 22 years without miss (I guess there’ll be an hourly holiday just for the sake of mercy, LOL).

Well, The Dark Tower + Universal Picture + Roland = Magnumest Opusest!

Lost Faerie is Cupid

noreply@blogger.com (Lost Faerie) — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:23:00 +0000

Hello...I’m back! And this time I ain’t ‘Stupid’ anymore. Someone told me that the little fellas whose shooting people around are called Cupid not ‘Stupid’. Well I don’t really care though…because it still rhymes. Haha…So, are you folks ready to get started with the new project as I promised to you guys in my last post? So, let’s don’t waste more time…

Okay, for this project, you will need white glue (I can’t find where I put the bottle so I used UHU stick instead of white glue), terracotta art-clay, gold dust, metal ring, paint and lacquer (alternative: clear acrylic spray or clear nail polish as what I used).

Shape the clay into your desire shape (heart shape is a good one because we are doing this for Valentine’s day)
After you’re finished shaping the clay, make a tiny hole through the clay.
Then place the clay onto an oiled cookie sheet, and dry them in a 200 degree oven (please make sure the clay is harden enough)
Once the clay is dry and hardened, paint with any desired colour and allows the paint to dry. Don’t have to be thorough because we will dab the clay with gold dust.
Before applying the gold dust, cover the clay with white glue just to make sure that the gold dust perfectly glued to the clay.
Let the glue dry. I then coated the entire surface with clear nail polish.
You can then put a metal ring through the hole that we’ve created earlier.
If you wish, you can thread a ribbon or cord through the metal ring.
Tadaaa…the finished product.

You can give this to your love one as a pendant or as a cell phone charm. What a lovely gift isn’t it? Well then, have a great day ahead. We, all the Frosted Cigar’s authors wishing you have a very enjoyable and unforgettable Valentine’s Day! We love you! Oh, by the way I am proudly pronounced I am Cupid!

Lost Faerie is 'Stupid'?

noreply@blogger.com (Lost Faerie) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:19:00 +0000

Wow! It’s February. Valentine’s Day is coming guys…So, start planning something nice. Hmmm… Just for once, I want to be like that little fellas with the wings. I think you all called them 'Stupid'. I might need to find some arrows and bow and start aiming and shooting people around. Ahaha…That’s sound fun.

Well, right now I’m thinking some new projects for Valentine’s Day. I should start searching for needed material too. So, wait for my next post ok? I will try to make sure that I post an interesting project. Oh no, Lost Faerie will get lost again. But don’t worry I’ll be back…

Indie Zombies.

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 04:55:00 +0000

Let's get out of mainstream for a while shall we? For all of you post apocalyptic aficionados out there I would like to bring to your attention to an amazing zombie short film.

Directed by indie director Matt Simpson and co-directed and starring Joseph Luke Avery, Plague tells a story of a migrant who is a gun runner as well traveling to London in order to have a fresh start. But he comes across the walking dead and it's a whole different game then.

This film looks really good; the make-up looks good, special effects are great albeit the small budget the film producer gets. The plot is solid, as well as the storytelling which somehow reminds me of 28 days later.

Well, I won't hold you back any longer, here's Plague.

You guys have any favorite zombie film by any indie director? I really like to check up on more from the indie scene.

Love, Zombie.

Frosted Cigar Wishes You Merry Christmas.

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 11:51:00 +0000

It's Christmas and on behalf of the other writers of Frosted Cigar, I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas.

Since it's holiday, I'm going to post family friendly upcoming movies.

Alright, first, Shrek. I've covered this movie earlier this month, and apparently a teaser trailer has been released and floating around for quite some time. It's Shrek's final act (or so they say). Would you see this movie? I think it won't be much different than the other Shrek movies before this. But that does not mean it won't be funny anymore right? Kids will love Shrek and donkey return to the big screen.

Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, John Ratzenberger, Joan Cusack and Michael Keaton unite in Toy Story 3. This movie returns to the big screen brings more than just a promise of great animation (it's a Pixar), it also brings back memories. I remember watching the first Toy Story when I was eleven and now about 14 years later I finally get to blog about it. How's that...just looking at the number of years is enough to make me feel old. The trailer has been around since June but anyway here is Toy Story 3. Are you excited about it? I have mixed feeling about this one because lately sequels and remakes just don't work anymore. Just hope Toy Story 3 delivers just as I remember them to be.

Last but not least is the remake (uh-oh) of Karate Kid. I'm disappointed in Will Smith. Why do he has to rely on Karate Kid's name? I mean this movie is nothing like Karate Kid. The setting is in China, and that is already confusing because there is no Karate in China. Well, maybe there is but when you mention China, Karate probably won't even cross your mind. I've watched the trailer over and over again trying to make sense of this movie. Can't they just rename it to something else and drop it with 'karate kid remake'. There are a lot of movies out there that use the same formula as karate kid but surely they don't claim to be sequels or remakes. Will you see it? What do you think of the whole 'remake' thing?

Alright that's all I have for you guys. Hope you guys have a really great holiday.

Love, Zombie.

Math with faerie!

noreply@blogger.com (Lost Faerie) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:53:00 +0000

What?! You don’t believe I can do math? Here…I have a simple equation for you guys who do not believe that fairies also can do math. The equation:

Festive seasons + school breaks = wedding ceremonies

Simple enough? Ahaha...wedding ceremonies are one of important ceremonies that fairies need to attend. It is time to create the magical moments especially for the married couples on their big day. Yup! Time to spread those fairy dusts!

Wedding gifts are the most common way to congratulate a couple for their marriage. There's no need for it to be expensive, just simple and neat will do. So, it's not about what things that are given as a wedding gifts, but it's how you wrap for it to be neat and pretty. So here I will show how to wrap a simple wedding gift. What you need are scissors, wrapping paper, sellotape, double-sided tape, ribbon, stickers and of course your gift.

First, cut out wrapping paper according to the size of your gift. Here, I used the whole wrapping paper.
Before you start wrapping your gift, fold a few layers at one side of the wrapping paper to create the look of paper fan (please measure and determine the correct position of the layers so that it will look nice on top of your gift).
After you are finished creating the layers, you can start wrapping you gift.
For the finishing look, add a ribbon on top of your gift. The position of the ribbon is up to you. As what I did, I put it at the left top side.
This how you gift will look like…

Oh, I forgot, for the mini card, I cut a red colour paper (9cm x 15cm) and fold it into two. Next I cut another paper (blue) into 8.5cm x 7cm. Then, I put a few stickers on top of the blue paper and add on some glittering glue here and there. Later, I glued the blue paper on top of the red paper (front side).

I hope this simple tutorial is useful for you guys and for those out there who wants to share any tutorials on how to wrap a gift in simple, nice but creative ways, feel free to leave a comment and share it with us and the others.

p/s For the wedding dress and tuxedo stickers, you can have that too. Just download it from here http://dfc.c-ij.com/en/contents/3176/sticker-wedding002/index.html. After you download it, print it and start cutting and pasting your sticker.

** Thanks to Canon Creative Park for the wedding stickers set

Iron Man 2

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 04:47:00 +0000

On the 17th, Marvel just released the trailer for the new Iron man movie. As we all now RDJ will be back, reprising his role as the billionaire turned superhero. This time around, the movie packs in a lot of great actors to join RDJ on the big screen. Mickey Rourke plays the villain Whiplash which is, for me, a decent adversary for the iron clad hero. Scarlett Johansson will be playing the role as Natasha Romanoff or Black Widow, and did I mention Sam Rockwell will be in it also? After the great performance in the sci fi film Moon, I just can't wait to see his work again, although he will only play a minor role.

War Machine! Finally we get to see War Machine, but sadly there's only so much as a glimpse of him in the new trailer.

I heard that Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) will have more screen time and it's interesting to find out the extent of SHIELD intervention in this movie. Just hope that they are not being too ambitious and try to cramp up too many things in the movie.

Anyway, I won't hold you back any longer. Here's the trailer for Iron Man 2. Enjoy.

Love, Zombie.

I am Kick Ass.

noreply@blogger.com (Zombie Extraordinaire) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 04:28:00 +0000

I love Kick Ass because...well...he kicks ass. Seriously I just love Kick Ass because he is the thing that lurks inside of us wanting to be a superhero. Only he goes to the extreme and take it to the street. That's kick ass, a 'superhero' with zero power and hilarious. He will be on the big screen next year which is bummer because I thought it was supposed to be this year. I've been hearing about this movie since summer of 08 when it was still in script stage and haven't heard anything else until last month. The official website is up but with limited contents; nothing much except for links to posters and trailer. Anyway here's the trailer and a short clip of a scene with Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage) and Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz).

Wait for Kick Ass in cinema next year. It's going to be hilarious.

Love, Zombie.
