STILL ALIVE

As said in my previous, (and supposedly last) post, I am still very much alive, though not kicking, and still blogging.

Except, I became a traitor to xanga and shifted to blogspot. =P 

It's two different blogs, I have not moved or transfered whatever I wrote here to there, but the other blog which has the better of my attention is centralised on my infatuation.

I still do make my checks on xanga and drop by to leave comments in some of my favourite blogs (if im not too lazy that is), so if you're feeling bored or say, miss me..(hehe)..drop by mine and make sure you dog ear the page aight?

Lots love.

I foresee my daily staple for the next few days.

I have tons to update. But none that I can remember or have the mood to do so.

So, here is wishing everyone a PROSPEROUS, HAPPY, LUCKY year of the rat, from the rat himself, Ratzo (with Darly by his side).

While I count the hours so I can go home and do this:

p/s: Yes, I do name my softies. +_+

Another great loss.

When I first gotten the news of Heath Ledger's death from the news, I stood there for a good 3 seconds trying to process what the new caster had said. I just couldn't.

I was in shock; I still am in shock that he is dead.

It is such a sad news to hear as I am a big fan of his work, from the moment I watched him in 10 Things I Hate About You, to A Knight's Tale to Brokeback Mountain, and soon in the most anticipated movie of 08, Batman - Dark Knight where he played Joker. Many reviews have been made about his performance, and movie critics were predicting that he would probably be receiving a nomination for his very believable portrayal of Joker. Not a suprise as seriously, I don't even remember who will be Batman this time, but I could remember him as the famed villain.

Once I received news, I began texting Lipas and J sharing with them my grieve. Both too, like many of us who have heard his news by now are sadden by this loss. The way he departed this world was a typical Hollywood death - accidental overdosage or a possible suicide, which of course the latter is quickly dismissed by his family.

His life and sad ending reminds me of the deaths of many young and brilliant actors in Hollywood - River Phoenix, James Dean, which J pointed out to me in Sms. It's so true; names like Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole, the famed factory girl, Andy Warhol's superstar Edie Sedgwick, though not all as young as Heath's 28 years of life, but lives all still ended in tragedy.

Maybe this is a price to pay for fame? That the perfect and glamorous lives of celebrities are not as perfect as we see it. That a pact has been made between them and the green light of stardom, is a life of chaos in return for riches and star power.

Heath's death has not been classified yet, although a possible overdose would be the best cause. I might think in my own analysis, that depression caused by his own life's dramas - failed relationship with Michelle, pressures of new movie roles etc etc. I do think that because of his brilliantness and the intense seriousness in portraying his roles, that it may also have caused his depression. It's a common problem with serious actors who just could not separate their real lives from the characters they play, and maybe just maybe, that Heath was drawn into the dark character that still haunts him to his death. Angelina Jolie too had that problem when she played the character of a pyschotic patient in 'Girl Interrupted', which caused her broke down.

Anyhow, Heath will be missed dearly, and the whole world mourns for another great life loss.

R.I.P Heath Ledger.
