Music and Lyrics

Watched the movie Music and Lyrics, starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore.

Nice movie! It has a simple premise and a standard plot. As the story moves along, you can almost half predicted the next move. The ending was a bit different than what I expected. Lots of music and songs in the show, which surprising sounds very good despite the 80's feeling and sound.

Had a good time watching show with A. Actually this is a movie that I may not exactly watch but turned out to be a gem. Good reviews from colleagues makes things easier to say yes to A's request to watch it.

Nonetheless, it is worth watching it and thanks dear. Hee, else I would not have watch ti also

Region Code change for DVD Recorder BENQ De325

First is to power up your recorder and press "INPUT" to switch the display to "Cam1" and press "OK".

Next press "3 2 5 0" and press "OK", finally you would see the display to "000" and your player is now a multi-region player

Think by pressing the 325 is the model number, pressing 0 is multi-region, pressing 1 is code 1, 3 is code 3 and so on....

[translation]

I don’t know when it all started
When my head became dizzy with thoughts of you
These thoughts would often pop up in my mind
I feel anxious as my heart expands towards you

It’s nothing.. it’s just a little thing
Your words are awkward to me

Is it love? If you feel the same way, is it a beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you
It screams out for the whole world to hear
Why has it taken so long for me to hear it~?
We’ve finally met.. finally found love

If I wanted to show you how I feel
The only way would be for you to become me

I’m already inside of you
Just like you’re inside of me

To each other [to each other]
We may already be too accustomed

Is it love? If you feel the same way, is it a beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you
It screams out for the whole world to hear
Why has it taken so long for me to hear it~?
We’ve finally met.. finally found love

When I think about it [when I think about it]
I realize how many moments there were when my heart trembled
I’ll try as harder as I was late in realizing my feelings
I’ll be with you, I’ll only give you fond memories
Please don’t ever leave me again
Even the shortest moments without you make me uneasy
Please stay by me~

I already love you so much (you’re the only one)
