“Meet Me on the Equinox” is a song by indie rock band Death Cab for Cutie, and was released as the first single from the soundtrack to the film New Moon.^[1] The song debuted on September 13 during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. The music video, directed by the Walter Robot team, premiered in October.

Alexandra Patsavas, music supervisor on New Moon, provided scenes from the film to some of the artists featured on the soundtrack as a guide. Death Cab for Cutie guitarist Chris Walla said he had read two of the books in the Twilight series at the time of the song’s recording, and noted that the lyrics are more suggestive than literal.

Singer Ben Gibbard admitted that he hadn’t read all of the books in the Twilight series, and said that the song is more about his personal life than Stephenie Meyer’s fictional world. Gibbard said of the song’s meaning: “The song at its core is just about meeting another halfway, because life is very short, because there’s only a brief period of time to really connect with people, and that it’s important to recognize that.”Gibbard added, “I just wanted something that kind of tonally matched the story and the scenes within the film, so they could kind of be put alongside but not be telling a narrative you’re watching on the screen.”

New Moon biten me up with the scenes especially on fight lines and transforming creature like the wolves. 4 stars for the film

Today I watch the box-office hit sequel of Twilight starring Stewart, Pattinson and Lautner. I wasn’t saw the first part (the beginning of all with the title and actors rolling on screen) but have the chance to watch beginning with Romeo & Juliet part.

Well the movie seem quiet fantastic and well modified than the first. The scene are well connected, guiding some passages from the novel. The good thing is, is that they create more actions and more technical matter on film. With morphing to animating mammals… well in short a good subject matter to talk about. Even my papo (my dad) was suprise and amaze with the production.

Many where heart-tickled by Jacob who seems so protective with the protagonist and with that reaction, scenes were also mermirizing to those shouting girls (shall I say TEAM JACOB). Every scene that Jacob was in “half-naked,” they almost fell to their seats and keep on screaming (my my my goodness).

The end part was still hanging the same with the first one. Edward proposed to Bella in a solemn persuading attitude… for that reason I was still craving with ECLIPSE! XD

Recently some male adults were playing of a one-of-a-kind homemade firework which was developed by an unknown source, which begun to hit in our town. The materials can be easily found at home some can be bought at the hardware stores. Every now and then, a bang sound can be heard over the town, some are strong others are not. Because of my curiousity of the said home-made firework, I begun to research about it.

Lantaka were the bronze cannon mounted on merchant vessels travelling the waterways of Malaysia and Indonesia. The guns were used to defend against pirates demanding tribute for the local chief, or potentate.

As you can see, lantaka in the first place – seen to be dangerous and was used for defending firearms against pirates by the merchants. But here in our town, the term was used for a homemade and safe-to-use firework best fitted with todays holidays! It may sound terrible because of its cannon-like look but it was guaranteed safe.

The material used to build with the said homemade firework were the ff:

1. Body (desired material can be use)
   • Bamboo trunk
   • Aluminum cans
   • PVC pipe
2. Lighter (Cricket-styled)
3. Denatured Alcohol (used product: Flying Tiger [Manufactured & Repacked by: Treasure Island Industrial Corporation, Mandaue, City, Cebu, Phils.]) CLICK HERE FOR MORE PRODUCT DETAILS
   CAUTION ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:  Poison, Flammable, Keep container closed when not in use
4. Masking Tape / Rubber (used for enclosing the body [suggest for using cans)
5. Plastic Bottle with cap (must be durable enough to keep in pressure)
6. Glue sticks (used for making holes)

New Moon Soundtrack RD: October 16, 2009

New Moon’s soundtrack comprises songs that are all original and exclusive to the soundtrack and are performed by various indie rock and alternative rock artists. New Moon director Chris Weitz stated that the soundtrack would feature songs from Radiohead, Muse, and Band of Skulls.^[15] Death Cab for Cutie contributed the soundtrack’s lead single, a song written specifically for the film called “Meet Me on the Equinox”, which debuted September 13 during the MTV Video Music Awards. Bassist Nick Harmer says, “We wrote ‘Meet Me On the Equinox’ to reflect the celestial themes and motifs that run throughout the Twilight series and we wanted to capture that desperate feeling of endings and beginnings that so strongly affect the main characters.” The music video for “Meet Me on the Equinox” premiered on October 7, 2009 and includes clips from the movie. The English rock band Muse contributed a remix of their song “I Belong to You”, which appears in its original form on their 2009 album The Resistance. St. Vincent collaborated with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon to create a song called “Rosyln”. When describing the song, she said, “[Justin] sings in his beautiful falsetto and I’m actually singing very, very low… I think there’s something vampirey and creepy about the two of us singing together. It’s a simple, stripped-down kind of song.” The soundtrack originally had a release date of October 20, 2009, but the date was moved up four days to October 16 due to “overwhelming and unprecedented demand”.

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe’en) is an annual festival celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints, but is today largely a secular celebration.

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, carving jack-o’-lanterns, ghost tours, bonfires, visiting haunted attractions, pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

Almost four months of waiting and finally my computer is back to normal and my life too. Well my computer is fixed and so am I, this is the start of another post and the continuos post here in my wordpress account. How do I start, making a post for the Halloween. Starting with the low-bugeted horror movie Paranormal Activity, obviously I can’t watch this over the net because of my low performance connection. The [plot revolves on a young couple, Katie and Micah, who are haunted by a supernatural presence in their home. The movie is presented in a documentary style, using footage from the camera set up by the couple to capture what is haunting them, in a similar manner to The Blair Witch Project, and The Last Broadcast.]-wiki

Maybe later I can post more…
