Life is harder for some people.

Recently, I've been sort of obsessed with documentaries about British people who are on benefit and young pregnant girls. I feel like they are stuck in their circumstances and even though they feel desperate to get out of it, they simply don't have any idea on how to do it. Even worse when their benefit being cut off from the many policy changes enforced throughout the country. It's like when you're already at the bottom of the hill and some people just decided to dig out some hole for you and place you in it, at least that's how I feel about it. I'm not blind that these things also happen in my own country. They are plenty of homeless people in Kuala Lumpur, got plenty of people who are living on the breadline over here in my area. These things happen everywhere I guess. It's just that Britain have always been seen as a big country with lots of resources, and it just didn't cross my mind that they would so many homeless people, or young homeless peop...

One of the most messed up things I've ever watched is...

Recently, I watched The Handmaid's Tale, an adaptation of a book with the same title by Margaret Atwood made by Hulu Originals. It's about Offred, a Handmaid who's job is to bore children for one of the leader of the community of Gilead, Commander Fred Waterford. Mrs. Waterford is sterile, as most of the women in this story which is set in present time. Offred is one of many Handmaids. She was caught while trying to run away from Gilead with her husband and daughter. She is stuck in the house of Commander Waterford and forced to perform sex with him so she'd get pregnant. Women in this story doesn't have lots of rights, and some women hurt other women to keep them in line to do men's biddings. It's messed up. I don't what religion is behind the creation of Gilead, and I want to know. It's not Islam for sure. For those who thinks otherwise, Islam is a religion that gives women rights. Women can have jobs, have possessions, and learn. Women are do...

Picking sides

Winter is Coming! I am a big GoT fan. If you've watched it, you'd know how intense the story could get. Here's something fun to do. Pick a side, and say why.  credit: Google Images Personally, I'm a Stark. Winter is always coming.  Stark will prevail.  Targaryen are ehh...okay. 

R.I.P. Oberyn, my sweet prince.

To all GoT fans, rejoice. For it is confirmed that the beloved series will be continued for Season 5 and 6. Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room. How in God's green earth did Oberyn Martell lose that fight? Oberyn was everything great, he's a prince from Dorn, a ladies man, a great fighter, and hates Lannisters and The Mountain. What's bad about him is he is dead now. How could you leave us, Oberyn? I hope that Twyin would see in his dead-heart that Tyrion is so much more than just an imp. He's mentally advanced far more than anybody on King's Landing except Tywin himself. He's just too valuable to be discarded now. Plus, he's a Lannister. The one who should be killed is Cersei, that disgusting brother-humping woman. I hated her with a passion. Anyway, Arya's epic laugh at the bloody gate left me and my brother smiling all along. So sorry about the death, Hound. Ha ha.. Good night loves, xx. Good night my prince, sleep tight.

Hi! I'm so excited about this. I'm confessing to you that I finished watching all 3 seasons of American Horror Stories (I do skip over inappropriate parts, okay. Don't speculate. :] ). Although I am excited to see how creative they are at recycling actors, it's nice to see the plot unravel slowly from the first episode to the final. Gory yes, but it didn't make me vomit or anything. So, still acceptable. But, I do not recommend watching this to anyone if you can't handle this kind of story. You'll hate me for it. I'm still not sure why I'm so excited about it. :D Good night everybody.
