Take a look at yourself in the mirror, who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be, or is there someone else you were meant to be, the person you should have been but fell short of?
Is someone telling you, you can't or you won't? Because you can.

Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from the good friends and family. And from the quiet nobility of leading a good life.

Believe that love is out there, believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.
So take a look at that mirror and remind yourself to be happy because you deserve to be, believe that.

The Rise of the Cubes

Something odd is happening in the movie world apparently. Back then, action/adventure movies were always about the round or spherical item of interest that becomes the centre of the entire movie. Back in those days, the little sphere of ‘immense power’ or ‘unlimited knowledge’ or ‘unspeakable value’ were extremely popular. All these special items found in the olden day movies were always in a shape of a sphere.

Let’s look at a few examples that I could recall (I know there should be more, but I just can’t seem to recall many of them).

 Okay, I admit. I’ve not watched any Tomb Raider movies. So, I’m not sure what’s Angelina Jolie/Lara Croft has in her hands here but…It’s round!

When it comes to balls, would this be forgotten? Obviously, no way Dragon Balls!

The movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", (alt.: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone), directed by Chris Columbus, based on the novel by J.K. Rowling.  Seen here from left, Daniel Radcliffe (back to camera) as Harry Potter and Sean Biggerstaff as Oliver Wood holding a Golden Snitch ball.  Initial world premiere (London) November 4, 2001.

For those who are big fans of this movie, should know what is that in this boy’s hand. It’s round, so it counts!

As you can see, movies back then were all about little circular-shaped items with special attributes. But right now, the trend has changed and apparently spheres are out. Cubes are the new black of the season. It’s just seems to be popping out in many recent movies!
Want proof? Hmmmm….

Can you guys see what Mr. Shia LaBeouf/Sam Witwicky from the Transformers’ movies have in his hands? Well for one thing, it ain’t called ‘Fcking Round Ball’.

Remember this guy? You should! If you’re reading my blog but you have no idea who this is, fuck you. No, perhaps just s* you. From the recent movie that hit the cinemas, this little glowing blue box is one very important element of the movie.

Captain America
For this one, if you don’t know who this is holding this cube-shaped thingy, I do not blame you. This movie hasn’t landed in the silver screen yet, but when it does, I am pretty sure you’ll know what the cube is capable of!


So, do you see the changes yet? Circles are out, squares are in!

So, you don’t have worry about ‘be there or be square’ anymore. Just tell them, haven’t you heard? Squares are so mainstream now. Squares rock now. So shut the hell up and leave me alone.

Haha, anyways… just a short post. Hope you enjoyed it.
