Love is a dangerous disadvantage

Holmes: Oh enjoying the thrill of the chase is fine. Craving the distraction of the game, I sympathize entirely. But sentiment, sentiment is a chemical defect found in the losing side.
Irene Adler: Sentiment. What are you talking about?
Holmes: You.
Irene Adler: Oh dear god, look at the poor man. You don't actually think I was interested in you? Why? Because you're the great Sherlock Holmes? The clever detective in the funny hat?
Holmes: No. Because I took your pulse.

Holmes: When we first met you told me that disguise is always a self portrait—how true of you. The combination to your safe, your measurements. But this, this is far more intimate. This is your heart. And you should never let it rule your head. You could have chosen any random number and walked out of here today with everything you worked for. But you just couldn't resist it, could you? I've always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof.
Irene Adler: Everything I said, it's not real. I was just playing the game.
Holmes: I know. And this is just losing. 

Simply Laytonesque

"My dear Anton,

Are you well? I received your letter. Though I'd like nothing more than to see you again, I'm afraid I no longer have the strength to do so. You don't know how many times I've thought about you over the years. I often wonder if you hate me for what I did. Do you?

When I decided to leave, I was carrying our child. I couldn't bear exposing that tiny life to such danger. I knew your father's position, and understood you didn't have the option to leave with me. Even though I did the only thing I could, I'll always regret leaving you that way.

But there's one bright spot in this sad story, and that is our lovely granddaughter Katia. My departure all those years ago has given you the chance to meet. Katia's mother died shortly after she was born, but Katia grew up strong and sweet just the same. She reminds me of you every time she smiles. With her around, I could never forget about you, even if I wanted to.

You've been in my thoughts since the day we parted. And now, though my time here is drawing to a close, I like to think we'll meet again on the other side. The thought of seeing your face warms my heart. Be well and be happy, my dear Anton.

Goodbye, but just for now.

Your Sophia."

What it feels like...

The only thing you see in a crowd, illuminated perfectly by sunlight. Your heart stops and its all you can think about. This moment stretches into eternity, but eternity is fleeting.

Y.O.U by SHINee

[Onew] I meet you in a chaotic time
Even though I couldn't understand anything
[Jonghyun] I become angry at everyone
Telling me to quit because it's hard
No girl, I only show you my foolish side all the time

[Minho] Even if my body breaks
Even if my heart is torn
[Key] The promise to protect you
That promise will eternally be the same thing

[Taemin] Nothing can stop me from loving you, you, you
[Onew] The reason why I breathe is you, you
[Jonghyun] The reason why I sing is you, you
[Key] The reason why I live on is you, you
[Jonghyun] Nothing can stop me from loving

[Key] Why is it that the people beside you when it's good
Leave one by one without looking back when it's bad? Yeah
[Taemin] Like glass, a human's heart is so weak
A heart hurts so much from the little things

[Jonghyun] Let's not be like that
Even if we hate it, even if it hurts
[Onew] The promise to be by your side
That promise will eternally be the same thing

[Jonghyun] Nothing can stop me from loving you, you, you
[Minho] The reason why I run is you, you
[Key] The reason why I dance is you, you
[Jonghyun] The reason why I live on is you, you

[Onew] Years will come and years will go
The good days and even the bad days
I'm yours([Minho] When I'm happy)
I'm yours ([Minho] When I'm sad)
I'm yours ([Key] I'm not just saying that)
I'm yours ([Key] I'm trying to show you)

[Onew] Years will come and years will go
Even when we grow older some day
I'm yours ([Taemin] When I'm happy)
I'm yours ([Taemin] When I'm sad)
I'm yours ([Jonghyun]I'm not just saying at)
I'm yours ([Jonghyun] I'm trying to show you, baby)

[Onew] Something like that might not happen
But even if your heart changes and you leave me
Do you know that I won't be able to forget you?

[Jonghyun] Cause I love you you you
[Onew] The reason why I sing
[Jonghyun] It's you you you
[Key] My every reason is you you you you you

i have decided to do a comparison between new boybands released in korea......and i wondered where to put this..when i remembered i had a blog! :) ...a little warning though,this post is definitely biased towards my shinee cause im so mad about them

i feel under the weather..i think this post is a side effect

it should be called why other new boybands are not as good as shinee..

1)A'ST1

who are they: the juniors of korean band SS501, and self proclaimed 'rivals' of Super Junior

debut song: 1234 back

date of debut:28th april 2008

number of members: 6 includes one chinese member and one member that is japanese

ages: ranging from 19-21

plus: some of them (i think 2 or 3 members) can sing really well live

minus: two members have similar hair and outfits(longish side fringe)..i thought they were the same person.. -...- and how do you pronounce their band name??!!

2) 2pm and 2am

who are they: they are the juniors of wondergirls. 2pm is the dancing group, while 2am is the singng group.they will merge to form a bigger group called one day...their name is really...original..

date of debut: 11th july for 2am; 4th sep 2008 for 2pm. one day has yet to arrive

debut song: This Song for 2am and 10 points out of 10 points for 2pm

number of members: 2am-4members ; 2pm-7members

age range: 2am->17-22(the oldest and the youngets are born on the same day!but with 5 years between them);2pm-> 18-21

plus: some members of the 2pm and 2am already received much popularity even before they debuted.

minus: This Song does not show off 2am's good vocals well enough. 2pm's video is just too perverted already..Also there is excessive use of Wondergirls to help promote their band. I see them in almost all of their official videos.(including both mvs,promotional clips and many message videos)

3)SMASH

who are they: this group of six people that are said to be very very talented

date of debut: 15th August 2008

debut song: Emergency

number of members: 6

age range: 28-17 (11 year gap!! 28 is really old for a leader* of a new boyband..other leaders are all at their early twenties or younger..)

plus: erm.....i dont really like this group that much....so no pluses..

minus:i have never seen them not lipsync before..maybe its to spare our ears?

4)dragon n tiger

who are they: this band with four members, dragon (2members here),who takes care of dancing,and tiger(2members here also),who does the singing.

date of debut: 12th August 2008 (they have yet to have a live performance that i can find..)

debut song: Two People and Thereafter

number of members: 4members.

age range:i cant find their ages.. may be due to low popularity?

plus: they are creative in their methods of shooting the video and fusing two different sounds together(hip-hop and ballad). its a relatively new concept.

minus:There was much confusion on whether there was 2 or 4 members due to the focus on 2 people in their debut song,snd the similar styles of the members. up to today i still cannot differentiate between the backup dancers in the video and the members in the boyband..

5) u-kiss

who are they: a new band with 3 members imported from another band called Xing. 

date of debut: 15th august 2008

debut song: Not Young

number of members:6

age range: 20 to 14

plus: they look fresh and young, vocals of some members are quite good

minus: i didnt know they existed..and theres ANOTHER kim kibum**...and if they say Shinee is like Big Bang then this is just cut and paste! their style is really similar to that of Big Bang's.

lastly my love

6) Shinee (!!!)

who are they: a contemporary band that focuses on singing dance and fashion. they are bling bling jonghyun, taemin, leader onew, almighty key and flaming charisma minho. aka freshboys

date of debut: 25th may 2008

debut song: noona is very pretty (replay)

number of members:5

age range:15 to 18 (all of them are very young!! X) )

plus: they can sing and can dance! at the same time somemore!! Plus they now have quite a number of their own shows due to their overwhelming popularity since their debut.they released their first album just 3 months after their debut.

minus: a major distraction due to their addictive songs and dance.
