PROJECT ONE ASIA - TOP 7 ASIAN SONGS

Hey guys! I thought I should be using this website for lots of fun!..and some good as well. So here's my way of uniting the Asians, in an Asian way! So what can unite us better than the music itself ? :)  Here are my top 7 songs that I have picked up from different countries in different languages. You probably think why should you listen to the songs if you don't even understand the language? But that is the whole point guys! Music doesn't need no language. So enjoy the songs, feel the music and to hell with the lyrics...!

1. CHINA - SANDY LAM - ZHI SHAO HAI YOU NI : this one has been my favorite for quite some time. If you are upset, this song is perfect to lift up your mood. The voice is very sweet.  






2. SOUTH KOREA - 4MINUTE - WHY : I absolutely love this Korean girl band. Okay I am not a fan of girl bands but I'd like to call this an exception.  Their music always makes me want to dance. Worth trying guys...this version is in Japanese but the credit should go to the Koreans right? 






3. INDIA - BOMBAY ROCKERS - LETS DANCE : If you are not used to Indian songs, you will definitely find this one weird. Listen to it a few times and it wont get off your lips. You'll love the energy in this song. 






4. INDONESIA - CITRA LESTARI -INGKAR : this song sounds like the way they used to play it in early 80s. It has a very traditional and yet to cool music. You'd like it even better if you listen to it while you're out on shopping with your earphones darted in your ears. 





5. ARABIA - MILK & HONEY - LAYLA : Oo la la! These girls sing as good as they look. They are best known for mixing the western music with the traditional Arab music. Its very tangy and enjoyable. 




6. PAKISTAN - THE BILZ & KASHIF - SINGLE: Pakistani music in Punjabi mixed with some rap here and there and you get this beautiful song! It is light, it is rhythmic and its good to listen to when you are sitting in your room in pretty evenings. 


7. SOUTH KOREA - 4MINUTE - HUH : ah! My friends will hate me for putting this song in top 7 but I will still go for it. I love 4minute i confess. But this song is REALLY good. Or...i don't know. Why don't you guys listen to it and help me decide?

5 MUST WATCH ACTION MOVIES



If you're the kind who'd thinks that an asteroid collision is actually "cool", then you got to watch these movies! And chances are that you have probably already watched these movies, but if not, trust me you have missed a lot of fun. So try these out...


1. ARMAGEDDON - (1998)

















It is just another day at NASA, a few astronauts were repairing a satellite until, out of nowhere, a series of asteroids came crashing into the shuttle, destroying it. These asteroids also decimated New York soon thereafter. Then, NASA discovered that there is an asteroid roughly the size of Texas heading towards the Earth, and when it does hit the Earth, the planet itself and all of its inhabitants will be obliterated, worse, the asteroid will hit the Earth in 18 days. Unfortunately, NASA's plans to destroy the asteroid are irrelevant. What then? ...Watch it to know it :)

2. PEARL HARBOR (2001)
















Pearl Harbor is a classic tale of romance set during a war that complicates everything. It all starts when childhood friends Rafe and Danny become Army Air Corps pilots and meet Evelyn, a Navy nurse. Rafe falls head over heels and next thing you know Evelyn and Rafe are hooking up. Then Rafe volunteers to go fight in Britain and Evelyn and Danny get transferred to Pearl Harbor. While Rafe is off fighting everything gets completely whack and next thing you know everybody is in the middle of an air raid we now know as "Pearl Harbor."





3. U 571 (2000)

  In the midst of World War II, the battle below the      seas rages. The Nazi's have the upper edge as the         Allies are unable to crack their war codes. That is, until a wrecked U-boat sends out an SOS signal, and the Allies realize this is their chance to seize the 'enigma coding machine'. But masquerading as Nazi's and taking over the U-boat is the smallest of their problems. The action really begins when they get stranded on the U-boat.



4. THE RED BARON (2008)


















Baron Manfred von Richthofen is the most feared and celebrated pilot of the German air force in World War I. To him and his companions, air combats are events of sporty nature, technical challenge and honorable acting, ignoring the terrible extent of war. But after falling in love with the nurse Käte, Manfred realizes he is only used for propaganda means. Caught between his disgust for the war, and the responsibility for his fighter wing, von Richthofen sets out to fly again.


5. TEKKEN BLOOD VENGEANCE (2011)


















Well this one's in Japanese. But hey! The action is all worth watching it with subtitles guys! Umm...and it is an animation. So, maybe you wont really wanna watch it but really, I loved this one. I loved the character 'Alisa'...she's cute :)

Have fun! hope yall like it!

TOP TEN QUOTES BY MEN OF WAR

Some of us think wars are cool, some think they are extremely stupid but let us just accept - the only good a war can do is nothing. But still, some of the most inspirational and thought provoking quotes have been born at the times of war. Here are my favorite top ten quotes by some of the most influential people who have contributed to changing the way we think of war.



1.“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”
     -General George S. Patton 

2. "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
 - John Stuart Mill

3. "You cannot advocate peace and end of war when somewhere in your mind you think that F 22 Raptor is so cool"
 - umm...well don't worry about the author of this quote. You wont wanna know ;) 

4. “A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.”
     -Winston Churchill

5. I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
     -John Adams

6. "Pain is weakness leaving the body."
     - US Navy SEALs

7. "The only easy day was yesterday."
      - US navy SEALs

8. "One officer who went to Sorrento tells this story: After going ashore he went looking for Darby. Approaching one member in a Ranger uniform, he asked his usual question, 'Do you know where I can find Col. Darby?'
A slow grin crossed the face of the husky soldier as he answered, "You'll never find him this far back."
- We Led the Way: Darby's Rangers

9. Sometimes I think it should be a rule of war that you have to see somebody up close and get to know him before you can shoot him. 
~M*A*S*H, Colonel Potter

10. We have failed to grasp the fact that mankind is becoming a single unit, and that for a unit to fight against itself is suicide.  ~Havelock Ellis
