Holidays

It's funny how I'm always looking forward to the holidays but once they're here, I don't really have anything to do. I guess I just really like the feeling of having so much time - even if that time is wasted on doing basically nothing.

Maybe a reason why I don't have anything to do is because my room is empty. Like literally the only things I have in here are my computer, my bed, my desk and some boxes. I'm getting new carpet on Friday so I've had to move EVERYTHING from my room to the garage. By the end of the holidays, I'm gonna be so fit :D

I just finished reading the book Othilia lent me. It's called Towelhead and its by Alicia Erian. It was seriously disturbing and graphic. The book's been adapted into a movie and I watched the trailer on IMDB. The trailer doesn't look too bad but that's probably because they couldn't show the the truly bad stuff on TV. Um, what else can I say about it? It was interesting I guess? One crtic has said:

"How can a book about such horrific things be so laugh-out-loud funny? How can a
book that seems so lightly done go so far into the dark? Towelhead is totally
engrossing, very witty and sharp"


I kind of agree with this guy. But what really pissed me off was that the protagonist struck me as deluded and naive to the point of extreme stupidity. Far out, how stupid can a person get? You would think that you would REALISE it if you were getting raped.

Oh well, onto lighter things. I watched The Karate Kid (2010 version) last night with my sister and I actually quite liked it :L Haha. Maybe I have a thing for shallow, Hollywood movies that are an insult to my intelligence. Or maybe I am just so movie starved that I could probably watch Twilight again.... and like it.



Haha, constipated much?

But seriously, I couldn't see what was so wrong about the movie. The whole thing was so pretty to look at :D Maybe the whole Chinese culture thing was a bit overdone LOL but it is a movie. The "We're in China, everyone knows Kung Fu here," quote made me laugh. btw, I think my sister has a crush on Jaden Smith :L

:)

This is a bit late but,

THANK YOU to Belinda, Brenda, Jun (girl) and um whoever else who got me the Shinee CD and poster. (><' Sorry if I forgot anyone.) I LOVE IT!! ^^ You guys are too awesome. (L)(L)(L)

I used to have a crush on Peter Pan.


afafjalsdfjasdfjasv. HAHAHA, forget the tall, dark broody types; give me a boy covered in leaves and wearing green tights anyday :P

Wow, I have just sunk to a new level of dork-dom.

Leaf


I was looking through some old photos and look what I found:

LEAF! (Yes I actually called him Leaf... because he was like, y'know, green...)

I cried so much when he flew away. I spent a whole morning looking for him. Then someone mean told me that a car might have run him over. Which made me cry even more.

But I guess I was lucky. My friend's budgie's fate was even worse. It got squashed by a speaker and she came to school bawling her eyes out.

Thanks + stuff about Friday

THANKS EVERYONE! ^^


I love the card... especially the arrow labelled Cynthia that points to the fat man :L

BTW, for people going next Friday(?), this was the restaurant I was talking about:

COMPUTER SCREENS FTW!

Finally decided to decorate my wall...

An hour, 16 zen mode songs, and half a roll of sticky tape later...


They're all desktop calender quotes that I've kept (cause I can't bear to chuck them away).

The one on the bottom is 21st September. ^^ I ripped it out early just so I could shove it on the bottom there. Oh and apparently, my birthday is the UN's International Day of Peace. See:



I also share the same birthday as Stephen King... so go figure.

Anyway now that I've stuck all those quotes on, I can't take them off, EVER. Cause otherwise my wall will have all these random sticky tape marks and blank paint stops left. Heh... maybe I should've thought this through properly first... -.-'

Things to inspire...


I remember watching bits and pieces of the Vancouver Olympics back at the beginning of this year and one of the performances that stood out the most to me was Yuna Kim's performance. She won gold at the olympics for women's figure skating and I remember thinking that her performance was so awesome. Anyway, for the past few days, I've been youtubing more of her performances and they've reminded me of how awesome she is :D In Korea, they call her Queen Yuna cause of her ice skating ability and if you watch some of her videos, it's obvious she deserves the title.

For those interested, here's the short program that she did for the 2010 Olympics. It's a James Bond Medley and this performance was a World Record Breaker:

When she ice skates, you can tell that it's something she really loves and is passionate about. It's really inspiring really.

Also, she's a singer as well and on youtube, there are videos of her ice skating to Brown Eyed Girls "Abacadabra" and SNSD's Run Devil Run.

Anyways, just wanted to liven up your lazy Friday afternoons/nights with something I found interesting :)

Here are some more Kim Yuna links for those interested:
