Yang Yang <3

Ok. That picture didn't really do him justice. Have some more yang yang.

yes. he is the shorter guy in the last pic. (the other guy's like 193 cm though!) but adorable eh?

Dal Ja's Spring. My Queen. Ohitorisama. What do these dramas have in common? One korean drama 2007, one taiwanese drama 2008, and one japanese drama 2009. All of them have the same exact concept. One 33-year old successful but lonely woman, meets and falls into the 'forbidden love' with a younger man who takes up many part-time jobs. Just with different titles and different languages. So is the oh dal ja story is becoming asia's new generation wave? Same with the story of Boys Over Flowers? We'll find out... :)

Btw, I'm replaying Zuo Bian for the 10th time already...

So It Was Rainie Who Sang That?

怎么突然发现又回到了原点。。。

Wow, can I just say It's a small world after all guys. I'm in love with this song called 左边 after listening to Mi Lai (wang luo dan) sing it in the drama Stuggle last year. And just re-listening to this song on YT with another singer sing it makes me love this song more...but when I try sogou-ing this (for download), the name "Rainie Yang" appears on my multiple searches. It is then, I realise that 左边 is actually one of her songs. Ironic, sort-of, since I'm also currently addicted to her song 雨爱 but never thought that 左边 was possible to be one of her songs. But I probably have seen the mv for it a while back without thinking too much of the song...

This is the first one I saw, Wang Luo Dan singing this in Fen Dou (Struggle)...



This is one sung by a contestant in mainland's SuperGirl's contest..


And THIS, is the original mv with rainie yang

MERRY CHRISTMAS! <3

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

I had a really strange dream last night. I was in something like a nature obstacle course, everyone was on the way to an icy island someplace far away. Tigers, monsters, badass people were chasing after me and my mom shows me how to kill them/temporarily stun them with something that looked like Vaseline's Total Moisture Lotion. She told me to squirt a little bit in my palms and roll the gooey stuff into a small ball, and then throw it into the monster's eyes to blind/kill it off. It actually worked. But it was still a weird dream.

We had an okay Christmas Eve yesterday, with the bigger part of the day spent going shopping for gift wrap and food. We rented 2 videos from Safeway - after much debate - Click and Definitely, Maybe. My bro and I went upstairs and watched the latter movie amongst popcorn and chips dipped in salsa. YUM. And then we ate the coffee cake roll (special sale at 99 ranch!!) and took pictures of course!
All the presents were set up ready to go ~> for todayyyyy....
My bro and I actually planned to watch Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs on Christmas, only to see a poster of it in Wal-Mart, saying that it was out on January 5th (second day back to school). Great.
So everyone stayed up until 2am watching a couple episodes of 我的青春谁做主, because yes, we still love this drama despite the fact that we have finished the drama already (or rather, I have), but I love how the dialogue and characters still make me rofl and gotta love this show's all-around wittiness! But the episodes we ended up watching were the parts where Mai Dong finally gets out of jail and decides to sneak into Zhou Jing's company as a night guard (to take revenge)...oohh still gives me the shudders thinking that.. XD I'm such a scaredy cat.
Hey, now I'm thinking of posting a list of a couple movies that I consider "classics" or ones that I've seen too much of in my childhood in America (so basically these a my pasttime movies)

Speed, While You Were Sleeping, Some Like It Hot, Legally Blonde, Rush Hour (1, 2), Home Alone (1-3), Finding Nemo, A Little Princess 1986, She's The Man, Freaky Friday, Rat Race, The Day After Tomorrow, Super Size Me, Titanic, Whats the Worst That Can Happen, Heavenly Forest, 200lbs of Beauty, The Sound of Music, The Mask of Zorro, Set it Off
*in Bold, are the ones I really really like

Boooring. Lips Sore, Teeth Hurts.

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

mom: Dentist appointment, bumbleberri!! Get ready.
me: OKK
after appointment...
me: arghhh mom, let's NOT get any more of my teeth repaired PLEASE.
The dentist nearly ripped both sides of my lips!! My lips were so numb by the time they fixed 3 of my teeth that I couldn't even say anything when they asked me if it hurt... :(
mom: See? That's why you should not keep on damaging them by eating sweets!
me: -.- Good thing I put on Vaseline.

Another boring day of at home time.
I'm finally getting some internet time now, but no JIN finale to watch... :(
I'm watching this movie with Ethan Ruan instead, called L.O.V.E. - what an original name.
But the premise is good...

And I also watched the trailer for Bodyguards and Assassins today too... Looks awesome, but a little more bloody than I would've liked... though Nic Tse and Fan Bing Bing are enough to make it up for me :)

Hey guys, I've actually jsut noticed how I prefer sadder, ballad songs over upbeat/cheerful songs - but at the same time, I prefer romantic-comedies to melodramas. Irony?

Sorry, I'm low on time, so I'll blog quick here :)
So yesterday, REALLY surprising day, but very very fun too...
At noon, my parents announce that we were going to visit a family friend's house - I'm like... asdfjklajfdkj@!#$!% WHAT. REALLY NOW. How did I get to be the last one to find out and why didn't they tell me earlier?? So I spent the next hour flipping out because I haven't exactly been to any family friend's house in ovser a year. And because I'm just paranoid person. So I took a long needed shower and straightened me hair...and everything else blahblahblah. By 4pm, we've arrived at gary's house. And it's completely dark outside, but I can still see the amazing neighborhood and omg HUGE garages whoa. Anyways, my dad gave them a call, and we finally find their house. Me and davis goes in, and we see gary, the beijing girl (clover), and the 5th grader from the summer picnic (claire). Watching "Big Mama" or "Big Momma's House", something like that. Some American comedy with cross-dressing and involves Martin Lawerence. I get relieved temporarily from my paranoid because these were two other girls I actually knew, not some random strangers. Awesome! Then, the parents all usher us over to the chinese dishes. Which were ok. But I liked the ribs and the steamed shrimp (you can dip them in this cocktail sauce/ketchup..gary insisted it was cocktail, but ya never know hehe)
After 'dinner', if you could call it one, more like a potluck with a couple of dishes I was hesitant to try out... gary pulled a couple of his trademark no-one-finds-them-funny-except-himself jokes on us, then we all went upstairs and played table hockey. After table hockey, gary pulled out a board game called "Mouse Trap", and we took turns rolling the dice, until gary decided to get pissed off at claire, and didn't let her have her turn. But guess who won the game?? MEE :D First time haha!
Clover and I went down for a short fruit snack, and clover hops over to her mom, cheekily claiming to hear her say bad things behind her back. Then, we went back upstairs to go play on gary's xbox. He showed us a bunch of his gory games he liked, but we ended up choosing his Sonic game because it seemed less intimidating. So we took turns playing different characters, with me choosing the character 'Amy', who I got 7th place for :) We had a fun time with this, but went downstairs again, and gary and clover begin setting up a Xiang Qi board while claire, davis, and I watched unenthusiastically. Davis began pointing out a few moves quietly (since our grandma had previously taught him the game), and gary accidentally overheared, prompting him to frustratedly scold him. Davis started crying because of that, and hid behind my back - so I started cracking jokes to make him feel better and for the tension between gary and him to settle. Which worked - thankfully. Claire suggested that we play chess while gary and clover played Xiang Qi, and we did. Claire won. But it was exciting once we started playing Wu Zi Qi aka Wei Qi. I think I almost beat gary, who claimed to be pro at this game, except Clover brought out her laptop, and I went over to look at it - prompting gary to clean out my black pieces. So I just hung out with Clover and Claire, whom were pondering what to watch...(and it you scroll up to my quotes above this passage), We ended up watching the korean drama "You're Beautiful". <3
The girls definitely got hooked onto drama, but kind of mixed reactions from gary and davis. Gary was laughing along with us in all the funny parts, but I guess he's too stubborn to admit liking a 'chick flick' haha, or maybe he was jsut pissed that we were later using his computer to watch the episodes after Clover's laptop was out of battery power. Well I'm sorry about that, but admit it gary, you enjoyed the drama too. XD Just remember...YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!! nahh.. you're a jerk lol

First Day of Winter Break! And Some Drama-Watch Talk...

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...
***let's not talk about school since winter break is already here!!

---
So I'm just watching the japanese police drama Tokyo DOGS with Shu Oguri and Mizushima Hiro & of course the lovely Yoshitaka Yuriko (although i can never remember her name bc it's so long, i had to google this up)! :) Because of some LJ-er blogged about one of the episodes with screencaps and it looked pretty exciting even though I'm not a big fan of the police genre (see? I even skipped out on the Black & White craze with Vic Zhou even though it was recommended to me oh so many times). Also because my friend is watching it, so I'm curious. Shun is actually...pretty decent looking in here. I'm...usually not very open towards this guy (*hana-kimi* ick acting), but from the few episodes I've seen so far in this, I'm warming up to him (and I'm also pretty shocked how much hairstyles change people o.o seriously)..
Hiro *hugs* He is so adorably hilarious when he was trying to describe what he thought yakusas were supposed to look like, compared to the 'handsome' portrait of Jinno. XD And yes, I went ahead and skipped to the 9th episode (new one that came out on Mysoju today)...I promise I'll go back and watch the rest!! I promise!! But let me finish episode 9 first :P I have to see if this is interesting before I know I'll actually follow this!
16 minutes into episode 9...
I'm laughing my butt off at Sou (Oguri)...who's just made a totally serious police catch like eating a piece of delicious strawberry cake. Ok, weird connotation, but whatever. The dude is surprisingly half-likeable in this drama.
NOBODY TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMEDY-POLICE DRAMA?? Or else, I would have more of a reason to watch it earlier XD Omg, this is freaking hilarious. Teh only thing I would complain about their comedic style is how everyone else give so much time to the person who's acting exaggerated/silly, like the instances with Marou acting out - they gave a little too much time - enough that it's sometimes hard for the viewer to watch those scenes because it looks so embarrasing. If you've watched episode 9 (or other episodes, but I'm not sure about them), then you would know what I'm referring to.
YEEPS. I've almost forgotten about watching JIN. XD I will, as promised - to an awesome LJer who screencapped the drama and who lured me into putting JIN on my dramas-to-watch list.

ON a final note... Jeremy whoops! Apparently I'm still suffering from You're Beautiful withdraw haha. I mean Lee Hong Ki... After watching him in a couple of his FT Island group's messages regarding their japanese albums - he sends out a strange dejavu aura to me - he reminds me a LOT of akira (Yamapi's character from the ever-famous Nobuta wo Produce). Does anyone else feel that way? He's almost like Yamapi when he did his trademark adorableness, except Yamapi does it sexier, imo LOL. Please, no haters here, of course I adore Hong Ki too - all thanks to You're Beautiful, for letting me know about him :)
---
Oh how time-travel stories never fail me xDD Especially of the comedy genre ahaha..
Yup! I'm definitely talking about JIN right now. I'm watching it and I can tell you from half of the first episode in, it's getting really good. And unexpectedly also very funny. Similar to Louis Koo's A Step Into The Past - except more 'realistic' as realism gets (in a time-travel story, which is already a fictionous genre in itself, if that made sense) abeit a little creepy with his flashbacks of the embryo in the little glass bottle(you'll see what I mean from the first episode). Ayase Haruka's pitch-perfect acting as a smart Edo period lady made me reconsider my bias against her before. The last drama I've seen of her was in Tatta Hitotsu no Koi with Kame, but after that, she became more annoying in her acting - as I've seen bits and parts of her newer dramas after that one... But I'm starting to get into like her in dramas again ^^

Health update!
I'm sleeping more now ~ like 6-7 hours a night!! I think that is a huge accomplishment because as you know, bad habits are verrry hard to break ;) 6 hours hmm...compared to 2 hours I used to get. Yeah, I would say that's an improvement. And I will continue with this every single day during this winter break. Hopefully.

***

Dramas I've been watching on & off these past few weeks...post-You're Beautiful (of course I have to mention this drama again! lol)

Autumn's Concerto, Hi! My Sweetheart, Invincible Lee Pyung Kang, Will It Snow on Christmas?, and most recent - Wife's Temptation.

So why on & off, you ask?

First off, let's start with Autumn's Concerto, a taiwanese romance drama I've been continuing to watch simultaneously with the latter half of You're Beautiful. But as much as I've grown to really love this drama, it only comes out an episode a week! And I'm impatient, thus, I find other dramas to watch during the other 6 days of the week (not every day of course because I have hw & a life outside of dramas haha)...

As for Hi! My Sweetheart, another taiwanese drama I'm beginning to take an interest on...let's just say that I love the Show Lo & Rainie Yang & Lee Wei triangle (and even the almost-pointless *ouch* storyline), but it ALSO only comes out once a week because it is currently broadcasting... plus, mysoju with its viiki videos fail on me a lot :(

Alright, so finally back on track with some highly anticipated kdrama Lee Pyung Kang, right? With its hong gil dong-like feel, it should be keeping me busy right? no. Of course the couple of episodes I've seen are great - except for some boring golf scenes (sorry I don't like golf!) and the fact that the female lead is only awesome in ancient clothing, AND the fact that the leads are constantly screaming into each other's ears...kind of turn me off a little. Another reason why I'm not completely hooked? High-quality updates. New episodes. Non-existent. And no, Tudou videos don't count. (I can barely make out the chinese subtitles on each video, granted I can at least read them)

So on the new broadcasted melo-romance (I heard?), starring the always-sophisticated Han Ye Seul (from Fantasy Couple and Ms. Golddigger)...here's what I think. The first 2 episodes were am-azing. Yes, the childhood parts. These parts definitely caught my attention and the interactions between the child leads were very enjoyable. Now, when the storyline changes to 8 years later, I became a little apprehensive of how the plot was going to develop. Another thing, call me shallow, but first thing I noticed regarding the male lead. JACKIE CHAN. Yes, he's gorgeous, a complete eye-candy, but when he smiles - JACKIE - his nose and mouth resem - CHAN. As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of dear ol' Jackie; unlike the millions of them in this world :P On the other hand, I have absolutely no complaints so far for Ye Seul's performance, natural and she looks stunning as always. But seriously, the plot from episode 3 on does. not. catch. my. attention. Sadly, the viiki video clips not working here and there did not help the situation. So I'm considering dropping this series, what do you guys think? I just don't think this was too exciting for a romance drama, a little draggy - need some more substance and drama here!

Sorry, long post already, but I'm going to finish up with my rants on the most recent drama I've just seen (an hour ago) - Wife's Temptation. I love the ost of this drama if anything! And this drama does have a good potential as an edge-of-your-seat drama. Though drama it is; from reviews on the internet, this is supposed to be very makjang-like - with full-on twisted revenge schemes, adultery, and other dark themes. Also, this drama is verrry long with 129 episodes. O.O The longest drama I've seen to date is a mere 50 episodes compared to this. And it was a mainland wuxia drama, LOCH 2008. Why are most kdramas and jdramas so short (like 7-16 episodes) while some are 100+ episodes? So I have a question then - does the number of episodes increase indicate a decrease in the quality of the episodes/ the plot? I mean, it's hard for some drama directors and screenwriters to even produce a solid 10 episode drama, so how is it possible for the 100+ ones to get into the higher ratings??

I would like to end this post with a *prays for snow day tomorrow*! Haha that'd be awesome - no school!! Good night folks!

Weekend!! A week before winter break...

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

me: "heyyy alice!" "I haven't seen you in so long!"
alice: "heeyy cady. You didn't go to the assembly?"

me: "^^ idk"
alice: "oh haha"
me: "so what are you guys talking about? :)"
yifan: "oh, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL."
me: "asdfladkdfjkl I LOVE THAT DRAMA!!"
alice: "hahaha so you know we're talking about the drama? lol most people would probably wonder why the heck she's calling you 'You're Beautiful' :DD"
me: "Lol YEAH, I love that drama!!"
yifan: "So who's you're favorite guy?"

O yes. I love my decision not to go to the tolo assembly after all. If I went to the assembly instead, I wouldn't have had the chance to  all over my most favoritest kdrama obsession ever...with two girls that are totally in sync with dramas, PLUS getting to meet a new buddy :))) Who knew?

Chinese Class Humor.

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

A white lady subbed for chinese class today.

me: wait, lin lao shi isn't here today?? Oh! we have a sub today!!
paul: oh..you didn't know that? Haha.
me: No haha.

Later in chinese class...
many seniors and juniors decided to skip class for a bit; some just went to the mall/macdonalds for a bit...

(someone random comes into classroom and goes onto the computer)
wl: *holds the bathroom pass in hands* Hey... I've been seeing at least 4 different people coming and going out of this classroom, and no one signed themselves out of this classroom on the pass.
someone: oh, nobody uses the bathroom pass anymore in this class...
wl: Well, it doesn't matter what you normally do. When the sub is here, you respect the sub! Now who used this.. does anyone know who went out and didn't sign out?

Just then... anton comes in through the door. Everyone's heads turn in his direction. Our sub did too.

wl: ... who're you? What's your name?
anton: *don't know whether to answer*
class: He's anton. (everyone laughts)
wl: I'm asking you a question!
anton: My name is anton. Is there a problem? (he says all of this in a dry sarcastic way)
wl: Yes, did you sign this bathroom pass before you left? I dont' see an anton on here... Are you the heart? (note: someone drew a heart in place of the name slot on the pass)
anton: (peers over) Uhh. No.. (walks away)
wl: So who did that? Okay, fine, I'll let you go this time, but write your names next time you leave this classroom!
class: ...

My parents took me to Walmart, and we bought a couple of plastic organizer drawers (my love! haha) and new floorlamps and stuff like that!! Cool! We haven't really updated our lamps, computer, hairdryer, toaster oven, alarm clocks, sofas and chairs until recently (these items were at least 8 years old o.o)
AND...DaDaDUNN..
I got myself 2 pairs of skinny jeans for my clothing staples, and pretty great investment if you ask me, they were on sale for $12 each and they looked SMOKIN!! I got one gray skinny & the other, a black skinny (better quality than the one I had in beijing).
Also, I got some gum (for school, so that my breath wouldn't smell), 2 boxes of Revlon hair dyes
1 soft black + 1 dark mahogany brown
and :) BABY OIL!! From Walmart's sample counter :))) I really gotta dedicate a whole blog entry to rave about this stuff, I really should :D So basically, most of you guys know that makeup removers on the market today, especially the GOOD ones, cost you a bunch of bucks. So I did some research on that problem, and turns out, there are actually a couple of really good natural alternatives. And among the top ones were vaseline, olive oil, baby oil, and egyptian magic cream. So I've tried vaseline and egyptian magic for quite a time, but they seemed a little too hard to come off (the greasy feeling), but otherwise I was fine with them. I've tried olive oil, but with icky results; the oil DOES help with makeup removal, but it also leaves a lot of yellow oil/grease on your hands that you can't wash with jsut soap & water alone. BUT...baby oil, IS AMAZING. I just squeeze a drop of it on my fingertip and just gently give my eye makeup a nudge - and the whole makeup just slides off your eyes. o.o and then, all you have to do is take a facial tissue and wipe the residue off. And the extra oil? It doesn't leave my eyes or hands greasy at all...it actually even moisturizes your hands like a cream, so you don't even feel like you have to wash your hands off of the oil...so that part is amazing too!! I'm just loving it right now...THANK YOU BABY OIL :)

So Miraculous Days Do Happen...

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

venecia (at lunch): Hi!
a few min later...
venecia: I was going to do a chinese article on school closing early for winter break in shanghai because of swine flu - *COUGH* *COUGH* sorry..
me: O.O I CAN SEE WHY... haha just kidding :)
---
saren (before math class): Hi bumbleberri! Ughh I forgot my contacts today...
me: Oh me too! I woke up reallyy late this morning..
Oh my god, today was AMAZING. This morning, I got up at 7:20 - and usually it takes about 15 minutes for me to get to school, but we passed mostly green lights and reached the small door by 7:30 still o.o
saren: :D
me: and there were these 2 really buff guys and they were pounding hard on the door, and this girl from inside the building actually came over and opened the door for us!! And then I dashed to my class and sneaked in right when the teacher looked down at the attendance sheet!! hahaha
saren: haha WOW like 10 minutes including the time you got dressed and brushed your teeth and packed your backpack xDD
me: yeah! ...Oh yeah, I heard from rixing that today is really boring in math (saren: REALLY? argh) yup..all we're doing is that linear combination thingg the whole class
saren: and for an hour and 30 minutes...

---
in math class...
math teacher (mt): ,,,kevin? are you ok?
kevin: yep... I didn't have on my contacts is all *SQUINTS*
saren & me: US TOO! XD (quietly)
kevin: *does the asian eyesight-correcting trick* (where take your fingers and stretch your eyes slightly to temporarily correct your eyesight, this trick DOES work, but keep in mind this will also give you wrinkles if you do it regularly)
mt: AHAHA
class: HAHAHAHA

---
I'M GONNA MAKE THIS THING INTO A LONG RUN-ON (so grammar freaks, here's a warning to you guys beforehand...be prepared for very disorganized writing ahead)
So yeah, basically (yup, spend too much time writing the part above this) got up verrrry late 7:15-ish...got dressed, brushed teeth, 7:20, grab backpack, dove into mom's car, did my hair super fast in the car & took a swig of cool water, mom and me blamed on each other, 7:26, not in time for this longgg red light that took forever, arrived at small door all depressed (waiting to get tardy pass in main office [main entrance] and then go all the way back to small door AGAIN) BUT... 2 tall & buff guys were at the door (luckily) and morgan actually walked over from the hallway and opened the door for us *HALLELUYAHHH*
haha, no, not that dramatic...7:30 (but the time in the car was 30 seconds ahead of school clocks)...so when I sneaked into my English class, the bell had just rung like 10 seconds ago...but teacher was looking down and didn't see me sneak into my seat...
Just when I sighed in relief...I remembered that we had to do some debate thing in english class today :( But then WOOT! my teacher said only one group had to go up (aka not mandatory) so I gave a sigh of relief bc I know everything was ok now...but THEN some guy from my group just HAD to open his fat mouth and volunteered us T.T i know he's from the debate class and everything, but the teacher obviously didn't even let us have time to review our notes/practice so nobody knew what to say so we all blamed him for volunteering us w/o permission...so anyways, we got up, and I shakily stood at the edge of the group and furiously reviewed my notes from 2 days before (the last time we had even looked at them)...but I learned from experience that if you just add in a comment/question early on, then you are less at risk for the teacher personally picking you out and putting attention on you to contribute (or worse, asking you to debate on something you have no idea how to respond..it's hard for me to flub)...so anyways, I added little tid-bits of persuasion + evidence to us 3 girls side, and the two other girls in my group did the main arguing (though nobody really had a clear idea of what to say)...and everything went rather smoothly (since half the class didn't care, and half the class was asleep anyways bc hw overload probably)
AP World was spent listening to our teacher doing storytelling (well, not really) & laughing over Henry VII's lovelife xD Cuz she makes it sound so funny when a kid asked, "Was Henry always like this?" ~noticing his chubbyness haha and Ms. H goes "Well, apparently, Henry had a big appetite for food and WOMEN" lol
AP Chinese was ahemm pretty darn inappopriate o_o with michael saying most of those things...he's having a great time hanging out with my tablepartner alex now...asking about...and laughing over...
And when I asked them about 'dildo' (ap chem friends taught me this not too long ago) all the guys bawled over laughing...anton: you don't know what it means?...michael: HAHA all the guys know, it's...you know. So I had alex explain it to me since michael was being an ass today and laughing in my face...and he did, and I was just like 'oh' cuz I pretty much guessed it out when alex started sputtering 'it's a toy women use'...
So what's the big deal with it anyways?? Who invented this dumb word and what's the big deal? geez grow up dudes (that goes to certain individuals in my ap chem too -.-)
So nvm... all I now learned is, more ppl are getting strangely backwards and immature. Yeah, so whatever...apparently there are things ppl do in my school that I just wasn't aware of until now -.- and to think everyone was so polite and innocent xD But maybe some are, but I guess it's pretty common in high school to encounter things like this??  So whatever, not going to go into this...
So in math class..pretty much all of the above quote parts sum it up...I actually get a lot of what we are learning in thsi new unit!! yahhh matrices ahoy! :)
And I finally finally retook my two ap chem quizzes!!
And I've improved my overall grade up a whole grade! yessss

SUCCESS TODAYYY..USUALLY THURSDAYS AREN'T MY BEST DAYS...

Hentai, New Dramas, and Anime Past-times?

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

manning, serena, kevin (msk): WHO?
me: oh, this guy named j.j. I HATE WORKING WITH HIM. He doesn't do anything, and he says so many perverted insults every time I'm trying to get us back on track and actually get some ideas for our group presentation! -_-
10 MINUTES LATER...
serena: hey, what cup size are you?

SNSD always look so flawless in pictures!! :D

I'm more of a wondergirls fan, but I think Jessica is really cool...and I only recently heard that she habitually sleeps for 12 hours per night o.o no wonder she has such good skin lol...that's craazzy long time of sleep (esp compared to my average sleep of 4 hours XD and I sort of procrastinated last night on my mental health paper, so I only got 2 hours of sleep T-T

After Thanksgiving break, my chinese teacher assigned the class a short essay of 150 characters minimum, writing about a person we were thankful of.... I first thought about writing about Yamapi, but then I thought it might be too silly haha, so I just ended up writing about my brother xD the least likely contender of this honor LOL

我感谢的人
我其实很感谢我的弟弟，虽然他平常很爱烦人。我以前是一个独生女，所以父母很专心地照顾我。他们也常给我报各种各样的体育班。我七岁的那年，我弟弟就出生了。我认为我的人生改变了好多因为我弟弟的出生。我弟弟带给我了幸福和快乐。虽然我不喜欢听他老爱讲给我们无聊的笑话，也不喜欢他总是闹腾的样子,可是最起码我弟弟是一个我寂寞的时候可以跟我说话的人。最重要的就是我的弟弟让我懂得要照顾和体谅我周围的人。

Thanksgiving Break!!

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

"Su You Peng's song Part-Time Actor is really good..even though I'm not his fan anymore, that song is still really realllly meaningful!"

---
Thanksgiving Break = FREE TIME! Relaxing times galore! And maybe producing some more Music Videos?
So far, I've been on a roll with my new collection of 'family music videos' with our Beijing vacation scenes...from the past few years, it's fun stuff, trying to get the perfect asian song (usually my favorite ones) to fit in with the video/theme I'm doing. I got inspired making these mvs mostly from Jenny Productions (youtube), Jazky Productions, and many other drama mv-making people, etc.

Also, did I mention that Cheng-Tsui gave me a second chance to enter their karaoke contest?? I'm like soo grateful to them for understanding my video situation and letting me submit my video the mornign after deadline (because I had tried to submit my video before the due time BUT the website wouldn't accept it for some strange reason...so I had to comment on their page about that problem and thankfully, they did not ignore my problem and we were able to solve it! yah~)

Even if I don't win and not even in the finalist list, I would be satisfied knowing that I had tried, and also, I really do want to improve my singing ...and I'm really looking forward to the judges critiqing me, so that I would have a better idea of how to do better. I mean it's not everyday that you get critiqued personally by professionals (well, semi-pros I guess lol), so I think that having Cheng-Tsui judges critique me is already awesome in itself. :)
For thanksgiving, I'm thankful of the Cheng-Tsui karaoke contest for giving me a chance to participate and enter my video! Big thanks to you guys! <3
Here's my video:

birthday party a success??

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...
SWEET SIXTEEN!!
<3
***
The party was all in all pretty awesome, not without a couple of -.- moments though...
I did this really cool retro 80's look; a strapless dress paired with my mom's black 80s jacket paired with some black tights... :)
Then we picked up Kevin and later, Cissy from the library...raining raining raining....
^
^
^
We finally arrived at the restaurant... trudging up the doorsteps...inside finally! We waited for my dad to park the car somewhere, and we looked around the elegant-looking place...
Then a lady came over and said that we entered from the wrong door o.o
She told us to wait over by the benches next to the cashier place, and my dad came in, and asked about the regristration..turns out I can't even have a birthday party NOT on the same exact day as my birthday or else we don't get their 'free birthday meal' offer - WHAT. They said it was ok when I called their restaurant a couple days ago to get reservations. O.O
But anyways, the sushi selections were amazing, though I didn't get to try their hot entrees (chinese dishes) but I loved those little samples of different cakes! i only tried a couple though - like their strawberry delight WHICH WAS YUMMY.

Birthday problems, issues about distance, finally resolved??

update time!! haha

***
WOW what a big turn of events... most of the people I've invited are STILL COMING and unexpected ppl too!! Except I'm supposed to pick up some of them lol...
So originally, I invited

• rixing, rino, kevin, serena, tiffany, venecia, manning, michael, mark, and richard (to which tiffany and venecia immediately responded, and said they couldn't come)

then gave them all a reminder yesterday on fb... and turns out...

• serena, tiifany, venecia, yina, manning, michael, mark, and richard

couldn't come!! so I was depressed for the whole of today (partly cuz I woke up at 2pm -.-) and sad, and cried for until 8pm... so I decided to tell everyone all their prices are on the house, meaning that everyone is going to eat at the restaurant for free...Then I just decided to invite 2 more ppl hoping that at least they could come even though it was short notice and probably almost impossible...BUT THEY ACTUALLY AGREED REALLY FAST! whoa. ppl who I've actually invited 2 weeks ago don't come but ppl who I JUST invite on short notice do come?? Does this make sense? lol

• cissy and stephanie

then, some OTHER issues occur...and we had a fb & msn discussion about ppl wanting rides from my parents...(in chronical order)

• Cissy, Kevin, Manning, and Yina

and we resolved it with Yina going with Manning..me taking Kevin and Cissy...
Then, just now, Rixing has a problem with getting rides, but we resolved it, with her getting a ride with rino..yes! ilu rino, you are a savior :D
So in the end, who's coming?

• Rixing, Rino, Kevin, Serena (is going to drop by), Manning, Yina, Cissy, Stephanie

WAIT. OH SNAP! uh oh........ problems galore!

Things To Live By...

While we are on the subject of quotes, here are my favorite little quotes and sayings~*~*~*~

"People are never 100% satisfied"
"People forget what you said.People forget what you did.But people never forget how you made them feel."
"People never say, "It's only a game", when they're winning."
People who think they're out of this world always make you wish they were.
People would enjoy life more if, once they got what they wanted, they could remember how much they wanted it.
Teenagers express their burning desires to be different by dressing exactly alike.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny!!!  
We come to love not by finding a perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
Don't be a BEN brother, should have been, would have been, could have been, or might have been.
When it seems that someone has shattered your dreams....pick up even the smallest of pieces and use them to build bigger and better dreams.
Love is like water; We can fall in it. We can drown in it. And we can't live with out it.

Fools look to tomorrow, wise men use tonight.
Friends are like puzzle pieces. If one goes away, that special piece can never be replaced and that puzzle will never be whole again.

2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root.1000 A.D. - That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic. 2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.

A celebrity is someone who works hard all his life to become known and then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognised.

An English professor announced to the class; "There are two words I don't allow in my class. One is gross and the other is cool."From the back of the room a voice called out, "....... so, what are the words?".
Be careful of the words you say.And keep them soft and sweet. For you never know from day to day.Which ones you'll have to eat.
Be of use, but don't be used.
BIRTHDAY BELIEF SYSTEMS Idealism: Happy Birthday. Capitalism: I shopped all day for your birthday. Atheism: I can't believe it's your birthday. Hinduism: Holy Cow! Is it your birthday? Taoism: It's everybody's birthday. Buddhism: If your birthday party was held in the forest and nobody came... would it make a sound? Existentialism: Your birthday means nothing to me. Sarcasm: You don't look half bad for someone twice your age.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

Never fear shadows... they simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby.

Birthday Invitation Woes, Binder Frenzy and Crinkly Tests

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

Neil, what did we get??

...

OMG WE GOT A FUUUULLL SCORE...A 100!! WHOA. WE. SO. AWESOME.

Nah, actually it's all you guys' work!! omg haha this is amazing :)

*HIGH FIVE* Vidal!! Neil, omg asdfjkl;@$_haha NEIL, we're doing HIGH FIVES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LOL..and dezso!! high five!!

oh god. I'm REALLY nervous for the test on monday now.

One of my favorite quotes is:
Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you respond to it.  - V (my health teacher)
Actaully not this exact quote. What changed myself the most was the explanation behind it. I'm thinking this quote everytime I'm feeling down or I'm bored and think that there's nothing interesting to do...
---
SO FIRST, upcoming tests to prepare for (TEST FRENZY!!):

1. AP Chem retakes!! - 11/23 or 11/24
2. Mental Health exam - 11/23
3. HIAP 4 Unit exam - 11/23
4. Ap World Era Exam (MC & CCOT Essay) - 11/24
5. Ap Chinese vocab test - 11/24

yikes, another test maniac week (upcoming...)
I'll be having my party on Sunday...IMSOEXCITED! Weee!~
Guest list: yina, rixing, rino, kevin, serena, richard, manning
I know Rix, Rino, and Kevin are coming for certain, but Manning hasn't given me a reply yet, Richard said he might come EDIT: nvm, he has sat prep so he can't come, Yina thinks it's too far so her parent's might not drive her here (but my parents can give her a ride), and Serena said she'll probably only drop by but can't stay because of her church...
aww. ok, not so excited anymore...I just had a sad moment because so many people I've invited said they couldn't come because of the time (it's on sunday). Because I actually followed the "2 week" rule for sending out invites (learning my lesson from my friend ji, on my birthday two years ago)... and it still doesn't work T.T Sorry that I can't invite to my house, you guys, but it's still only once in my life where I will be having my 16th birthday party, so please try to come if you can?

That wasn't actually going to be apart of this entry at all, but now I forget the main point I was trying to get to xDD Always, always. I think I might have a slight OCD for checking fb and my mail... Because I"m seriously checking my hotmail so compulsively right now (and in recent weeks) - like actually re-clicking on the "Inbox" tab every a couple of seconds or so - to see if my friends have rsvp-ed me on my birthday invitation reminders... omgomg ocd-ness!!
And another thing is that I finally got around the time to go to Staples with my mom and get those sheet protectors for organizing my binder (I'm really inspired by youtube makeup guru, Kalel Cullen aka QueenBeeuty) :) See that? I'm probably a secret OCD...

"Parents are so excited about the first steps and words of their children, but then they spend the next 17 years telling them to sit down and shut up."

BIG tests on monday, starting with an ap world essay, then a math exam! Oh perfect, right after my birthday hangout... Not to mention, I'm not really too happy with the prospect of a new seating change in math class...I love my table partners...they're so nice and helpful and cooperate well T.T I was so lucky to have had them at my table...and I don't want to move to another group!! :(

So so so haha now for the main point of this entry...
3 film review sites I really like so far are Rotten Tomatoes, Twitch, and Spcnet.tv (also reviews dramas). A very large asian entertainment news site I recommend is AsianFanatics. and for discussing asian dramas, music, or beauty-related topics, definitely check out Soompi forums if you haven't already. Solely for beauty-related topics, go to FromHeadToToe and Bubzbeauty. Also included in my favorite up-to-date sites are mysoju, facebook, etc.

Ting Bu Dao - Jasmine Leong, Lovely Day - Park Shin Hye, Across The Coral Sea - Milk@Coffee <3


Ting Bu Dao ~ very upbeat and catchy mandarin song, and it's sung by my new favorite singer, the famous Jasmine Leong!
Lovely Day ~ whoa. if you've heard of this heavenly pretty song from watching You're Beautiful and you haven't felt a strong addiction to it already, then you must be either insane...or INSANE. bc this song is so pretty and angelic and uplifting it's not even funny. I can still remember first hearing the beautiful soft voice of Park Shin Hye as the scene of GMN dreaming that she was in the garden (the one with all those statues of David, julian, etc) and the three GORGEOUS boys from A.N. JELL were posing beside the statues in a very sexy way...and then the girl sort-of just floats down to the ground and walks past the three guys, who all look at her in awe. . . so beautifully shot scene with this perfect matching song...
Across the Coral Sea ~ You can really feel the nostalgia with this one, it's a little hard to explain, but it's a little more that just nostalgia, it was also very meaningful and not laggy like some other songs are once they reach the middle of the song!
edit: ok, I know this is sort of cheating the meme because this is supposed to be my second day, but I just couldn't help adding one new favorite song that I JUST realised the name of (and it's from the drama Autumn's Concerto) >>> I Love Him - Ring Ding

I Love Him ~ title? can't see any creativity behind that...but the song was...asdfhjkll;!$#@_  AYE!
This might be one of those songs you might not realise that you like it until one time, the drama doesn't have it at the same time as the other times..then BANGYAH! You've discovered how much you loved that song :) I LOVE HIM was in every opening sequence of episodes in Autumn's Concerto, and I automatically replaced my previous song I was planning to sing in the ChengTsui Karaoke Contest with this one! It was just that good...And if you pair the amazing mv with the song, it'll be absolutely perfect. And the mv, I've already watched and rewatched a dozen times already because of the stunning shots in the field of flowers, so beautiful, a must see (and a 'must hear' too!)

My 1st Korean Lesson: singing and understanding You're Beautiful OST

"You give awkward hugs bumbleberri"

EDIT: Actually I found that watching a youtube video of a performance is so much better for a beginner because you can see the person's lip movements...this is similar to how a toddler imitates what his/her parents say by visually looking at how their mouths open and close...hey, lol I just did a great scientific analysis! haha...or not :P

Korean Songs I'm Going to Try to Tackle This Month:
If - Tae Yeon
Lucky - Ashily
I Think I - Byul
Perhaps Love - Howl & J
I'll Be There For You - Jang Nara
What Do I Do - Ji Sun
Just One Day - Kangta
Do You Know - Someday
Nobody - Wonder Girls
Remember Me - Lee Hyori
Without A Word - Park Shin Hye
Lovely Day - Park Shin Hye

Yup! I got my ghds yesterday!! :))) It was the prettiest thing ever...I kept on admiring just the box for a century...then I finally opened it, and told my dad to film the momentuous scene... which turned out awful because my brother kept on saying really stupid and annoying things to piss me off -_-
Like, I was soo excited, but my brother kept on butting in with random conversations like "omgomg u just said 'Oh my god' you have to say oh my gosh...ooh you just said a bad wordd..." etc etc...veryyy annoying  o.o It was hard for me to stay happy with him yacking his mouth off the whole time...
Anyways, so I stayed up until 2am again...yesterday... so I was more than a little tired when I got to school this morning. English class was fine, but by the 2nd period Ap Chem and 4th period Health class (aka a lot of lectures, well we had a guest persenter in health, and she was interesting, but still...)...omg I giving people the half-eyes (SLEEPY?!?) and half listening and half not even being able to hold my eyelids open..I was hecka tired. Some people, if you're like me, and you've practically NEVER slept any earlier than 11pm ever since the age of 3... you probably can get to high school and realising that your special talent for having good grades even when you just slept 3 hours the night before...DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE.
That's what I've found out. I always thought I was some amazingly smart person who can be lazy and still get good grades AND not be tired however less sleep I get (forgive me for sounding conceited, but it's the honest truth ppls!)... and this thing lasted from 1st grade to 7th grade (specifically, from 3rd grade to 6th grade). Then, I looked in the mirror one morning...and my face showed the effects of all these years of sleep-deprivation :( well it's not as bad as I'm describing probably..but I bet I would be 10000x healthier looking and energetic if I didn't skip so many years of sleep T.T
Here are the effects for me: tired, frowny looking face all the time, low-self esteem, slouchy, brain REALLY lacking concentration (tends to drown out lectures and other things unconsicously), short-term memory, have not grown an inch since 8th grade (and I KNOW sleep has to do with this..i mean, if I get like 3 hours per night..then yeah, it's not only genetics that affect your height). Also, My face is saggy a little bit now liek an old person, some cists on sides of my face, pimples not healing, sighing a lot for no reason, low immune system (thus, I sniff a lot now), no glow in complexion, sallow-looking face... Please, everyone, save yourself, don't be like me and stay up late... Go to sleep already!

Two Major British Hunks

Bumbleberri's drama of the day...

Tomorrow's my birthday!! Weeee!~ But I have a billion homework junk to do...guh...

So as the title said, I'm going to talk about my two hugest British celebrity fandoms...and both are actually 19 years old this year and MAJOR hunks :)
Oh, and a funny thing I just realised after typign their names, their names both start with an A lol...

Okay, so first up, Alex Pettyfer!! ~say it right - nelly furtado

Born: 10 April 1990 (age 19), Hertfordshire, England

Height: 5' 11" (180 cm)

First Impression: Wild Child. His charisma was everywhere in that movie, and his voice is so dreamy!! Alex just has that boyish sexiness thing going on about him... I'm really looking forward to his upcoming romance movie Beastly! It's coming out in 2010...<3

Occupation: He's a british actor, also a model for various famous brands - most recently Burberry (I believe?)

                                                                                          

Look out for: Beastly!! I don't care if it has Vanessa Hudgens in it...-.- So many people making a big deal about her, she's just an actress geez...give her a break. And Alex is still a major hunk in his new role as the beast, even though they did makeup on him to try to mask his gorgeousness :)

Next up....Aaron Johnson !! ~ Ultraviolet - The Still Daves

Born: 13 June 1990, (age 19) High Wycombe, England

Height: 5' 11" (180 cm)

First Impression: Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging ftw! He's the main love interest Robbie in it, and absolutely perfect - fit body (there's so many blog entries on this aspect haha), sweet boyish voice, and expressive eyes...the whole package!

Actually, that movie wasn't the first movie I've seen him in...my real first impression of him was in The Thief Lord...and I secretly had a crush on him back then. A few months ago, I was addicted to the (wildly popular) korean drama Boys Before Flowers and found an interview where Lee Min Ho mentioned he looked up to the main actor of the Illusionist, so I went online and searched up the movie and found, surprisingly Aaron acting as the young illusionist, so of course I had to watch it. And it was funny because just yesterday, I noticed that the girl who played Jas from ATPS was Aaron's love interest in the Illusionist!! LOL

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Occupation: British actor also...duh! ;)

Look out for: Kick-Ass!! And also Nowhere Boy! I'm so excited for Aaron that he has had so many comebacks this year and hopefully even more for years to come..

And yes, I heard about his engagement with Sam taylor Woods...to be honest, I was more than a little shocked, especially since I haven't heard about his return to movies until a few weeks ago. And honestly, hearing about his engagement to a woman more than twice his age is a little off-putting, but hey, actors have the personal life and their own decisions, so whatever he chooses in his relationships, we'll support him...

Anyways, I love this guy, and ATPS totally made it better!!
