Time After Time

Last nite I watched Kristin Kreuk clips that I downloaded using my office internet facility (Big Grin). Damn, she’s gorgeous. My mind went back to year 2001. I remembered the first time I saw her on Smallville. It was at Saturday afternoon. I was watching television, forgot what channel when I absent mindedly switched the channel to SCTV and there it was, Smallville with all it’s glory. At first I didn’t know that it was Smallville, I thought that it was just another teen drama serial, but when I looked at the title, Smallville, I was instantly intrigued coz I like DC Comics and also Marvel. And then I saw Kristin Kreuk for the very first time.
My first impression of her was quite normal, but the more I watched Smallville (and Kristin Kreuk), the more I got attracted by her exotic beauty. At that time I didn’t know who’s playing Lana Lang. I got to know her name the next week when I watched Smallville season1 episode 2 (Actually in the US the 1st and 2nd episode was aired continuously). I didn’t know all of the main cast of Smallville, never heard of them before. But I must say that the cast fits the character. That night I went online, searching for Smallville and Kristin Kreuk on the internet. The first website that I got was www.kristinkreuk.net. Got so many pictures of her from that site. I must salute SCTV coz Smallville was a brand new serial at that time. Time went by, I became a big fan of Smallville, and Kristin Kreuk. I love that serial because at that moment I also had this crush on a girl and I saw myself in Clark Kent’s position, well, except about the superpower thing.
There are two episodes that I like the most in Smallville season 1. They are Shimmer (Episode 10) and Crush (Episode 19). In Crush, there was this song that I like so much, it was Time After Time. Then I tried to get it, I got time after time that was sang by Inoj, not the slow version like in Crush, but it’s okay. N then after that my sister got Remy Zero – Save Me from kazaa. Save Me is Smallville’s theme song. And Smallville went on and when the first season was finished, I felt this emptiness. I didn’t want it to end, but like Matrix Revolution’s slogan,” Everything that has a beginning, has an end“. The first season ended at June (in US), but in Indonesian it ended at around November 2002, while in the US the 2nd season already started at October 2002.
The show itself was a big hit. It was very successful, maybe that’s why SCTV didn’t air it again, maybe it was becoming very expensive. Well anyway, me and my friend Jefry, who’s also a big fan of Smallville longing to watch the 2nd season. And when we visited Glodok, we often asked for Smallvilles season1 dvds. It was very difficult to get those dvds. It took months to get them. When we got them, it felt like we won jackpot. I watched season 1 again, the least I could do since SCTV didn’t air the 2nd season.
Time went by and finally Smallville season 2 dvds were available at Glodok, heaven for pirated dvds. I bought them, anxiously watched them. During the absence of Smallville at SCTV, I browsed through the internet and found this great French website. I downloaded lots of Smallville season 2 clips from there, especially the ones that got Kristin Kreuk in them. I also downloaded Kristin Kreuk ad clips, she’s the Neutrogena girl. And in December 2004, I finally got Smallville season 3 dvds. Got some of the episodes earlier from a friend of mine in April 2004 or so, but finally I could watched the whole season 3. At December 2004, Smallville season 4 was being aired in the US. At that time I thought “well, another year before I can watch Smallville season 4”. But in February 2005 I already could watch Smallville season 4 till episodes 11. Thanks a lot Liv!
Well, I have tons of Kristin Kreuk pictures and clips, but I think I don’t really fancy her again now. I mean not as intense as I was. It started to fade away. But still I like the songs Save Me and Time After Time..n still I consider Kristin Laura Kreuk as a gorgeous girl. And of course, I love Smallville..

Save Me by Remy Zero (Smallville Theme)
...somebody save me
let your warm hands break right through
somebody save me
i don't care how you do it
just stay, stay
come on
i've been waiting for you
i've made this whole world shine for you
just stay, stay
come on
i'm still waiting for you...

Time After Time performed by Eva Ca
ssidy (Smallville season 1 episode 19 ->Crush)

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Turning in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,Time after...
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you have said
And you say go slow
I've fallen behind
The second hand unwinds

Chorus :
If you're lost you can look and you will find me,
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting, Time after time
Time after time

After your picture fades and darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows I’m wonderingIf you’re OK
And you say go slow
I've fallen behind
The drum beats out of time

Chorus

mmm…time after time
Oooh…time after time
Time after time

Man, Kristin was so gorgoeus in the scene with the rain pouring down and Clark Kent looking at her from a distance with this wistful look..Excellent scene..

(There’s gotta be) More To Life


My first post. Here I am, sitting on my chair, facing my computer. Just another Monday at the office. Today I went to work early at 5.40 AM, an hour early from my usual schedule. While I was driving to Auto 2000 Sudirman, watching sunrise I couldn’t help thinking about this life. With Stacie Orrico’s song, “More to Life“, playing on my mind, I thought about all the things that have been happening to me. At Santa Maria I saw Patas AC 49…It brought all the flashback memories from my college time. I miss that time. Reallly miss it. If I really had to choose, I would choose college time as the best time in my life. Dave’s n Robert’s place, Anggrek campus, Syahdan Plaza, Anggrek ATM, Kijang campus, all the other places and moments that I can’t mention one by one. “…Why can’t we be ourselves like we were yesterday..” , Yeah, but life goes on. People come and go. Man….time goes by so slowly, I practically don’t have anything to do right now.

There’s something missing, I don’t know that it is, I just feel it. Last nite I called this girl let just say L that I’m currently close with. Though I had told her that we should better be friends (after taking very careful and thorough consideration) and that I should not call her so often, but still everytime I talk to her on the phone, it feels so….I just can’t ever get enough…What is the purpose of life? I have read Purpose Drive Life, but haven’t completed it yet..but still sometimes this question come and everytime it comes I can never find the answer…Well, it almost lunch time now, I gonna finish here…and I think the most appropriate song for my feelings right now is :


More To Life by Stacie Orrico

I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go

CHORUS:

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Trippin' out thinkin' there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure...There's gotta be more
(Than wanting more)


I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half-way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing

CHORUS

I'm wanting more

I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed....
Always... Always...

CHORUS - repeat twice

More to life
There's gotta be more to life (more to life)
There's gotta be more to life (more)
More to my life
