Bring on 2007, baby.

It's hard to believe that the year 2006 will be over in just than an hour. Time really passes by us so quickly sometimes that we don't even realize it.
Jeez. WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING ALL YEAR???

Anyway. I have some new year's resolutions that I actually PLAN on doing.


So. There they are. If I do not achieve any of them by the end of 2007, I will officially be the biggest loser around. Especially since SPM is next year.

TT_________TT

_________________________________________________

Anyway. On to the recap of 2006.

2006 has been an extremely eventful year for me.
I transferred to a new school, got new friends and left every bad experience I ever had at ASS EM KAY BUTT FOUR behind me.
I have to say, I'm SO glad I left that place.
GOODBYE SUPERFICIAL AND EVEN MORE SUPERFICIAL IDIOTS.
Good riddance.

I really wouldn't have gotten through this year if it weren't for the people I met. Honestly. I'm so glad to have met everyone that I have.
WANT A PARAGRAPH DEDICATED TO YOU?? OKAYYYY.


I honestly think that we could be twins. Honestly. Seriously. I'm dead serious.
Anyhoo, I don't think I can imagine my life without you around now. You're just waaaaaaay too fun to be around *imagines your head swelling like a balloon*.
Sometimes I feel that you're the exact opposite of me, yet at the same time, I feel like you're exactly like me.
How weird, eh?
I love all our late night chats about DBSK and SuJu and your sudden love for the Danhobak Sungminnie. And I definitely can't leave out all those spazz sessions over cute things they'd do and all that jazz.
Other than that, we can talk about pretty weird things, I think. I just don't remember anything about them *they're probably all erased from my memory bank by now due to certain reasons*.
All I wanna say is, I LOVE YOU WOMAN. Here's some Sungminnie for you.



We've been through a lot haven't we? Eversince BU4. We've known each other for 4 years now and going on 5.
We've had our ups and downs. We had our fights. We made up along the way. We shared secrets. We shared tears. We shared laughter. We shared practically everything.
We're so different. You don't like the things that I do and I don't like the things that you do. Yet, we still manage to click somehow. It's strange the way life works.
I wouldn't trade what we have for the world.
Even if you don't feel the same way.


There are absolutely no words to describe what we have. I sometimes feel that it goes beyond friendship.
I've known you practically half of my life. You were my only friend back then although I can't say the same now lol. But I am thankful. I'm thankful for all the times we've had, for all the stuff we shared, and for all the times you've had to put up with my crazy and spazzy antics.
I still think our friendship is as strong as ever. Probably stronger. Although we hang out with a different crowd now, I'll always know you as my first ever best friend and you'll stay my best friend till' the day I die.
Just so you know, I'll love you forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever....*rambles on*


Shorty doesn't read my blog. OH WELL.
It's nice to know that you're always a phone call or SMS away. It's comforting in a way. Although you do tend to PURPOSELY annoy me *which I totally hate*, you're still awesome in some ways.
I mean, you were one of the only people to comfort me when I went through rough times.
And it makes me feel really accomplished to know that I'm taller than you by nearly a head. HA.
Sorry. Anyway, thank you for being there for me, for putting up with my annoying-ness with all the poking and the hitting and the scolding and the whole "DON'T SWEAR" thing.
And I still want my soft toy. Bring me my soft toy.


To everyone I've ever met throughout the year.
Thank you. Thank you for even contemplating the idea of being my friend. I know I'm not the warmest or friendliest person ever, but I'm trying. I'm trying really hard to open up. But for now, it's still difficult for me. I'm not used to people. Heck, I'm not even used to me!
I'm sorry if I ever did anything that made you question my sincerity or my words. But I mean it when I say, thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
_________________________________________________
I'm such a mush-face but whatever. I'm a mush-face, always have been and always will.
Better get used to it guys. You're gonna have to deal with it for another year. And hopefully for many more years to come.


Happy New Year, guys. May the year 2007 be an awesome one for you.

Curse Of The Golden Flower

Okay. Movie review time.

I just saw Curse Of The Golden Flower yesterday! The trailer really impressed me when I saw it before, so I HAD to see it.

Here's the synopsis, copied and pasted from who-knows-where.

China, Later Tang Dynasty, 10th Century.

On the eve of the Chong Yang Festival, golden flowers fill the Imperial Palace. The Emperor (Chow Yun Fat) returns unexpectedly with his second son, Prince Jai (Jay Chou). His pretext is to celebrate the holiday with his family, but given the chilled relations between the Emperor and the ailing Empress (Gong Li), this seems disingenuous.

For many years, the Empress and Crown Prince Wan (Liu Ye), her stepson, have had an illicit liaison. Feeling trapped, Prince Wan dreams of escaping the palace with his secret love Chan (Li Man), the Imperial Doctor's daughter.

Meanwhile, Prince Jai, the faithful son, grows worried over the Empress's health and her obsession with golden chrysanthemums. Could she be headed down an ominous path?

The Emperor harbors equally clandestine plans; the Imperial doctor (Ni Dahong) is the only one privy to his machinations. When the Emperor senses a looming threat, he relocates the doctor's family from the Palace to a remote area. While they are en route, mysterious assassins attack them. Chan and her mother, Jiang Shi (Chen Jin) are forced back to the palace.

Their return sets off a tumultuous sequence of dark surprises. Amid the glamour and grandeur of the festival, ugly secrets are revealed.

Sounds interesting already.
Anyhoo. This movie really didn't disappoint me. HOWEVER. Them idiots at who-knows-where HAD to DUB it in CANTONESE.

WTF man. Lu dub mandarin show into Cantonese for what leh? Bo si zou ah? Siao lang. So free. Go do something constructive like....bake a cake or something. Yeesh.

So yeah. The dubbing sucked.
THEIR MOUTHS WEREN'T MOVING TO THEIR WORDS. So weird and awkward.
Gong Li didn't sound hot anymore. But she sure as hell looked it.

See. Even she agrees.

And her boobs were pushed up SO high that I think you could support something with them. Like a pencil.
The servants boobs were pushed up really high too.

Wah liao. Can still breathe some more.

Oh yeah. Back to the movie.

For one, the cinematography was sooooo good. There was one scene at the end, where Gong Li goes all "AHHHHHH" and breaks a cup.
The cup was falling and breaking in S....L....O....W....M....O....T....I....O....N.
And you could see all the liquid falling in S....L....O....W....M....O....T....I....O....N.
It was pretty.

:)

And surprisingly, after his HORRIBLE acting debut in Initial D, Jay Chou was really, actually, quite good.
Well. At least to me!
He quite yeng also weh.



Oh yeah. There was a LOT of blood too. Me no likey.
SEE! THE MAN'S PRACTICALLY DRENCHED IN THE STUFF.

Yuck. So gross.

Before I forget.
SPOILER ALERT. DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU WISH TO HAVE THE STORY RUINED.
Not that anyone cares anyway, but like I said, who cares!

I really think that the Emperor is SUPER EVIL.
I mean, HOW CAN A SON POISON HIS OWN MOMMY? Sot lah you.
Ending so sad. Prince Jie (that's Jay Chou's character) would rather kill himself than give his mommy poison.

ALL THE PRINCES DIED!!!!!!!!
But the siao king didn't. Aihh.
Some more, after that big battle with the golden armor gang, just call the servants to go clean up then gao dim.
SO MEAN. Ten thousand soldiers just died and you're still capable of cleaning up and playing with fireworks??? All your sons also mati, you don't care ah? Tak de heir to the throne. Your dynasty can rot for all I care.

Another shocking thing that happened was when the third prince killed the Crown Prince!
WAH. SO EASY FA PI QI ONE. Small boy also like that. Tsk tsk.

Anyway. I'm done. That probably didn't really tell you much about the movie. haha. I suck at reviews.

Tis' the season to be jolly.

say hello to my half naked Christmas tree. I didn't put that up btw.

Ah. Christmas.
The time of year where everyone starts blowing valuable cash on presents for brats like you and me.

Can't you just SMELL the faint traces of money that's going to linger on your lovely, beautifully wrapped-with-a-bow-on-top present?

Guess what? I can't.

Mainly because WE don't celebrate Christmas and because WE don't believe in spending unnecessary money.
Sure, I have a Christmas wish list. Sure, I want things. I'm human too, ya know.
But that's all I can do. WANT & WISH. I don't believe in spending all that money on presents for people who can easily afford it. I'd much rather give it to someone who deserves it.

I'm a really simple person to begin with. All I ever want for Christmas or whenever, is for the world to stop being so messed up and for people to stop being so messed up. I wouldn't want to celebrate Christmas in a world where everything has gone wrong.
Other than that, all I want is for my family and friends to be healthy and for me to be able to find friends who will never leave me even in the most dire situations.
That and a boyfriend. Hehe.

So, just to make my day night a little more brighter and duller, here's some things I'd really like if I actually cared about getting them.
Fine, so maybe I want one of the items on the list. Or two. Or three. Maybe all of them.
Just so you know, I'm an EXTREMELY easy person to please.

Thank GOD for my Deviantart account and my constant need to show off my graphics in forums.

here's a thought. [PART II]

Get the picture?

Someone should buy me alcohol for my birthday.

Here's a thought.

I wish I were skinnier.
I wish I were prettier.
I wish I were smarter.
I wish I were wittier.
I wish I were more creative.
I wish I were more sophisticated.
I wish I were more sensitive.
I wish I were more caring.
I wish I were more loving.
I wish I was less clumsy.
I wish I was less uncertain.
I wish I was less intimidating.
I wish I wasn't so much of an introvert.
I wish I was more of an extrovert.
I wish that I will be able to put my faith in people.
I wish that I didn't do the things I did.

I wish that I could be everything you ever wanted me to be.


Here's another thought.
Suck it up and move on with life.

You are pathetic, Yi Ming. P - A - T - H - E - T - I - C.

WHERE THE HECK IS BUNNY BOY?

THIS BUNNY BOY aka DORKCHUN. They left the poor boy out on purpose.
TT___TT

I need my speakers back.

Did you know?

Did you people know that Friday, December 1st 2006 was World Aids Day?
You probably didn't. But then again, you probably did.

OH WELL. Here's some info on it since it's a really big issue in our modern world.

That sounded like something out of an essay......REWIND.

YO. INFOZ ON HIV/AIDS L0LZ.

And that was just annoying. Back to the subject.

Everyday, at least 6000 children (note the 6000. Not just 6, 60 or 600. But 6000), are orphaned because of AIDS. EVERYDAY. If all these children held hands, they would stretch 5 and a half times across the United States. And by 2011, this virtual chain will reach around the world.
That's really sad. To go through life without your parents. Left alone to fend for yourself at such a young age and another sad thing is that most of these kids are HIV+.

Here's another interesting tidbit for you from TIMES magazine.

After 21 years as the world's most elusive and mysterious killer, the AIDS virus has ended 24 million lives. It's likely to get worse: the United Nations predicts that as many as 70 million could die from AIDS over the next 20 years, leaving 25 million orphans behind by 2010.

Now, THAT is really sad. 24 million lives. Gone. Just like that. And another 70 million more could die if something isn't done.

But then again, people are just so goshdarn STUPID. S - T - U -P - I - D.
You can probably guess why. Damn smart lah issit? Never practice safe sex.
There's a bunch of idiots who think that having sex with a virgin can cure AIDS too.
BODOHBODOHBODOH!!!
It's all because of people like these that little children are getting orphaned.

Fine. So it's not entirely THEIR fault.
The reason why all this happens is because they don't have the proper education.
Hence the emerging of the whole sex with a virgin thing. They made it into an old wives tale.

How lame.

These people need to realize that they can get HIV from sex and from blood. Children can also get HIV from their mothers (when they grow inside pregnant mothers and when they drink breast milk.) Sex is one way to get HIV. If people use condoms when they have sex, they get HIV much less.
You can also get HIV by sharing needles. This means using a dirty (not clean) needle after someone else has used it. Some people who take illegal drugs like heroin and cocaine take these drugs by needle. Some of these people share needles. If one person has HIV and he shares his needles, he can give HIV to other people. But if people have clean needles or if they know how to clean needles, they do not get HIV as much.

Another sad thing is there's no cure for HIV/AIDS. Although there are various drugs that can be used to help slow down the progress of the disease, it does not eradicate HIV/AIDS. Some drugs also have certain toxic side effects. I have no idea what these side effects are, but if they're toxic, they're most likely bad. But it's still way better than just sitting there, waiting to die.
Although these drugs exist, only 15% of the people in the world who need HIV drugs get them. Most of the people who get them live in wealthy (not poor) countries.
Like those in Africa, for example. They certainly couldn't afford these drugs. They'd rather spend it on food and such! Even in the USA and Europe, people are having a tough time buying these drugs as they can cost more than $1000 every month.

Just so you know, this little boy takes those drugs and he's changed soooo much after he started taking them.
Click on the picture to read the article.

And here's something that's copied and pasted from TIMES magazine.

Helms and other like-minded politicians are also hostile to efforts to educate people, particularly young people, about safe-sex practices. Most teens are not likely to be exposed to the AIDS virus, but those who become sexually active at an early age, particularly in poor communities where drug use is rampant, are at risk. A Government study found that about 1% of the black teenage girls who bore children in New York City during 1988 were infected with the AIDS virus. There is a 40% to 60% chance that an infected woman will transmit the virus to her child.

It is clear that educational efforts should be generously funded and sustained indefinitely. Each new group of adolescents must be alerted afresh to the dangers of AIDS and the ways to block the disease. This is especially - critical for young gay men. While the large majority of older homosexuals have learned to practice safe sex, the younger generation does not appear to be so scrupulous. One study in San Francisco of 100 gay men, ages 18 to 25, found that within the previous month 46% had engaged at least once in anal intercourse without a condom.

Although this was a small study, and it may not be indicative of behavior in all gay communities, the findings were shocking. They show how far educational efforts still have to go. If society is unwilling to expend the energy and resources necessary to teach its young people to avoid AIDS, then the epidemic could grow ever larger and ever more tragic well into the next century.

Hear that? LARGER. MORE TRAGIC.
Not cool.

So, go do something about it.
Sign the ONE campaign or something. Go buy something RED.
I signed it. But I didn't buy it. haha. Although I did send in this piece of art.

PRETTY. No?
