It has style, it has action, it has good choreography, it has the cheesy slow-mos and the multiple-angle shots. The scene has it all. I read that they did this without wire-fu, which makes it doubly amazing. It makes you think about just how much body control Tony Jaa has in order to pull this off, which brings up obvious comparisons with the greats like Jackie Chan. Still, I think the hailing of Jaa as the next great martial arts movie star has some merit to it, because clearly he has some sick moves.

On to Ong-Bak 2!

Dig holds a certain… significance for me. It reminds me of someone. I’ll leave it at that. :) Personal meaning aside though, it’s a damn good song. It’s signature Incubus, you could say.

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness;
We’ll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes you are my friend.

We all have something that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you’ll count on the me from yesterday

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone.

We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us,
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you’ll act as a clever medicine.

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone.

Oh each other….
When everything else is gone.

Do you memorize theatrical lines
That seem to lead them in
Play the role with the good girl heart
Hide the tangled webs within
Who was it that led you on
That makes you want to hurt me so
Who do you want to forget
Who forgot you long ago

Do you still feel him
Calling in the air tonight?
Do you still feel it
Seems like you’ve done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you’ve done this before
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
And you’ve done this, you’ve done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is the girl I adore?
You’ve got breaking up all but down
And I can’t love a thief anymore

Do you collect the souls you’ve lost
In the top of your dresser drawer
Count the number of tears displaced
On lonely bedroom floors
Now the shape where your heart once was
Slowly takes the place of you
Will they hold the memories now
Of the love I thought I knew

Do you still feel him
Calling in the air tonight?
Do you still feel it
Seems like you’ve done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you’ve done this before
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
And you’ve done this, you’ve done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is the girl I adore?
You’ve got breaking up all but down
And I can’t love a thief anymore

You make breaking hearts look so easy
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you’ve done this before
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
And you’ve done this, you’ve done this before

The best you could hope to be is,
Now just a bitter sweet memory
And you make breaking hearts look so easy

The neat thing about it is that sharing with whoever wants to listen is easy. Get the numerical values of your random creation by right click – copy – pasting it. Load values into it by the same way.

I never knew bluemechaoxide sounded so… flowy.

I’ve got my own community of insane web-warriors right here. Maybe I should raise the idea with them. Who knows to what new low we can sink. :D

On a side note, I love how punishingly difficult 9 is. Yes, I know it’s months old, but true to it’s old-school aesthetic, it’s the kind of game you can go back to again and again.

Quick update on what’s been happening to me (which you can probably glean from my Twitter posts): I’ve been really busy at work, these past two months have been a killer. I’m also going through some bit of stress lately – again, work related. Thing is though, after I make it through this phase I feel like I’ll know for real whether I can continue doing this or not, like I can do anything and everything again. So yeah, I guess I’m psyching myself up to make it through this month.

Straight to the finish line, dude. Go straight to the finish line.

Iniwan ka na ng eroplano
OK lang baby
Wag kang magbago
Dito ka lang
Humimbing
Sa aking piling
Antukin

Kukupkupin nalang kita
Sorry wala ka nang magagawa
Mahalin mo nalang ako
Ng sobra sobra
Para patas naman tayo
Diba?

Sasalubungin natin ang kinabukasan
Ng walang takot at walang pangamba
Tadhana’y merong tip na makapangyarihan
Kung ayaw may dahilan
Kung gusto palaging merong paraan

Pinaiyak ka ng manghuhula
Hindi na raw tayo magkasamang tatanda
Buti nalang
Merong langit na nagtatanggol sa
Pag ibig na pursigido’t matyaga

Long as we stand as one
Ano man ang ating makabangga
Nothing will ever break us
Wala talaga
As in wala

Hahalikan nalang natin ang kinabukasan
Ng buong loob at yayakapin pa
Tadhana’y medyo overrated kung minsan
Kung ayaw may dahilan
Kung gusto palaging merong paraan

Gumawa nalang tayo ng paraan
Gumawa nalang tayo ng…
Baby, gumawa nalang tayo ng paraan
