Just realized I haven’t done a “Things I Am Loving” post for awhile, here goes. Those having exams please wait till after to explore these.
1. Best. Show. On. Television. (but strictly for those above 18, and I mean it.) : FX’s Sons Of Anarchy
Definitey not everyone will appreciate this one, but once you get past the graphic violence, leather cuts, occasional nudity, sex and coarse language, there is solid, solid acting and direction and wonderful writing with a very real emotional core. It helps to watch the show from the beginning (Season 1). It intrigued me that this is positioned as Hamlet-on-wheels, and is written as a homage to Hamlet (I’ve always had a soft spot for the lad). The fact that when I first watched this show I assumed the characters were acted by real bikers and not actors, speaks for itself. I really like how it seems more like a documentary than a drama.
Hal Holbrook (guest star) brought me to tears in 30 seconds in a single shot in Season 3. Easily one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen. Katey Sagal is completely authentic and multi-layered.
In the interests of full disclosure, I have the biggest crush on Charlie Hunnam (Jax), but beyond the way he looks, the guy has some serious acting chops. It’s beyond me why he isn’t on the big screen yet. Scorcese should look beyond his DiCaprio blinders, Hunnam is perfect for him.
2. Sara Bareilles Kaleidoscope Heart and 2ne1 To Anyone
Kaleidoscope Heart : simply beautiful. Fav track : “Breathe Again”
And yes, I have to admit that I am a 2ne1 and G Dragon fangirl. Love “Clap Your Hands” and “Go Away”.
There are a couple others, but I’ll save them for the next post.
Until then, study hard and always be taking baby steps towards the truth.

Was a little worried for your safety when I heard from Min that a bunch of you guys were coming, especially after seeing how ulu the road to the location was, should have told Min to tell you guys not to come. Really hope everyone got back safe and sound? I guess we can add another life skill that being in RBKD inculcates : navigation and street smarts. BTW, hopefully we can do a group photo at the next one, she saw the sms too late.
Filming starts next next Monday.
Hi, my name is Rui En and I am an addict. AA. Addicted to acting.
I loved all the reactions of shock, surprise AND pure dumbfoundedness that the imaging photos induced. Believe me, no one is more shellshocked by this role than me

Leg was injured during today’s spinning kick. Everything after that was done with white face and clenched teeth. Was trying so hard not to limp.
Chase scene also done in compromised state.
Even now, when it rains, the ankle aches.
Still. Worth. It.

“The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday” – US Navy Seals motto
I came across this phrase in my preparation for the role and thought it very appropriate for Xiao Man to use it to egg herself on to express her feelings to Yu Ze.
The Navy Seals and their highly punishing training was something that I thought Xiao Man would completely identify with.

“Let us consider that we are all partially insane.
It will explain us to each other; it will unriddle many riddles; it will make clear and simple many things which are involved in haunting and harassing difficulties and obscurities now.” Mark Twain
I love this and think it is so apt for the show also.

Are the people who received the promised lozenges called “Lozengees”?
Anyway I really hope that all of you know that I love you too, even if there might not have been enough lozenges to go around.
Just wanted to drop a note to tell you how much I appreciated your voting for the Fav female character thingie, I know you guys worked very hard, and if it’s any consolation, I was informed that the results were very close. To me, it was enough to see u guys there and hear your screams.
I really have to apologize for not being able to spend more time with you after the show, and also to those who come and wait for me at radio gate on other days, but I always have to rush off cos the next morning is early. Unfortunately, Monday is also early! When I film, I try to focus and concentrate on the work as much as I can, sometimes to the point of being oblivious to all else.
The ghost show was emotionally-draining(much much more than I expected initially), and the current one is physically and mentally taxing, so my dears do forgive me if I always have to rush off – nowadays even that extra half hour of sleep is incredibly preciousÂ
Anyway, I really hope you have a good time on Sunday, enjoy yourselves screaming, just take it as stress-relief lah. God knows I need that myself, but I shall live vicariously through your screams.
Lotsa Luff,
Me.

Dearest Assorted Rebels, Rockstars and Rabble-rousers,
Wow. Phew. Hold up, need a breather here.
It’s been helluva year, hasn’t it? Personally, this year has been one of blood, growth, sweat, learning, tears and acceptance.
Amazing how much can change and how much clarity you can attain within the space of one year.
Thank you. For all the love I’ve felt this year.
Thank you. To the people who spent their hard-earned money on the voting.
Thank you. To the strangers who come up to me on the street to give me words of encouragement even though when I don’t smile, I know I look hella unapproachable :)
Thank you. To the people who turned up at Star Awards and yelled their lungs, bladders and hearts out. (I promise next year I’ll buy you guys lozenges)
Thank you. To the people who bother to try to understand me, instead of taking the most popular and easiest method of writing me off as an ice statue.
Thank you.
You guys have a great Chrismas and New Years’ ok? Be safe always.
Here’s to moving onwards, always.
Luff,
MarionCotillardFan
