appreciation

so after watching glee (april 27 2010)

i'm not ashamed to admit i teared a little during the episode.

in a nutshell, love was re-introduced, heartaches were cast once more and self-esteem was put on the line.

within those 44 minutes of musical magic - was a pure message:

appreciate yourself, the things you have a passion for, and the people that make you, well.. you.

mercedes was brought into a conflict between herself and a scale.

forced to meet expectations of a superficial cheerio (<- seriously, the name is so clever.) coach and the assumed eyes of her high school audience, she was pressured into changing her appearance with extreme measures.

beauty arises both internally and externally and it's important to realize what you're worth.

as unbelievably and disgustingly cliche as it sounds, and in the words of christina aguilera(& the flawless glee cover):

"you are beautiful, no matter what they say"

following that story came the blossoming newfound love between kurt's dad and finn's mom.

as undesirable as the couple is in their children's eyes, they are the beautiful reproduction of the word comfortable.

after a mourning, moving on is the last thing anyone ever wants to do.

especially with a loved one or family member. in the case of glee - these would be both, a lost spouse.

finn's mother shared a heartfelt revelation with her son over the passing years with their husband&father's missed presence.

within the love story lay kurt's true feelings;
his father's unintentional and displaced neglect towards him. - or so that's what kurt had felt.
and i think it truly is difficult to raise a child without a spouse's other half.
the other part that completes them.
and i suppose that story was the heartache aspect of that episode.
kurt felt that he was never the son his father wanted, due to his sexuality - and that with the reunion between carole and burt gave him what perceived to be a true father son relationship with finn and burt.
they were able to talk sports and to connect conversationally and emotionally.
it's hurts to have to 'compete' or 'look' for attention from your own bloodline - and i guess that's what it was.
heartache felt between a father and a son - a foreigner in his own home.

everyone is their own best critic - and when we're up against ourselves, we remain our worst enemy.
i hope everyone does take the time in their life to appreciate those around you - and to realize your true worth (:
i know it's easier said than done, but ya gotta start somewhere - right?

shucks.

ahh it's been pretty much a week since i have last updated my blog

which sort of frustrates me;

but sometimes i just don't have any clever topics to write about,

or enough emotions behind my words to make a meaningful post haha

well - i'll do a recap of the past 6 days for now!

thursday/friday = sleeping days & depression/elation sets in from uni

saturday = work for 5 hours, and my final exam for linguistics (which by the way was fucking hard. D: )

sunday = work for 4 hours, picked up becky and was off to the states with my madre and auntie ♥

we drove down, ate buffet (oh god so good xD), went to wal-mart and then just vegged in the hotel!

monday = went to ross, lynnwood mall, kohl's, target, olive garden for dindin (my favourite restaurant ♥) mm... and then went to the hotel. becky and i watched amityville horror. i almost shit myself. but the cinematography for the movie was insane awesome i must admit! i do hate scary movies cause they really get to me (i'm one of those people that thinks for way too long ): ) [fuck i love ryan reynolds. his body in that movie is off the charts. OH MY GOD SO SEXY.]

today = went to another ross, target, cascade mall, drove home and then ate dindin, worked out @ gym and oggled 2 half naked men lifting weights.

hmm. i didn't really buy 'a lot' so to speak.

1 fancy sandal

1 pair of flipflops

1 pair of high heels

1 high waisted belt

1 ring

2 necklaces

1 pair of earrings

1 fancy-ish dress

1 clubby-ish/fancy-ish dress

2 casual high waisted pairing

1 high waisted skirt

1 cotton blazer

1 scarf

1 pink leopard sweater

1 summer tank top

but. i also tried on close to 80 things in total...

so that's why i consider it not a lot

BUT HEY i am happy with what i bought (:

i could always go down again though ; )

"when you call my name,

it's like a little prayer."

g4l

no, not gangsta for life

(even tho i am true to my roots holla)

but GLEEK for life! (:

this show is terrible underestimated of its brilliance.

the characters are superior to any show in the past decade that tried to blossom as successfully as 'FRIENDS' did

and well, i'm a sucker for dancing and singing.

so a show that is pretty much a musical wins my vote! :D

actually, the wait for the second season to start was excruciatingly painful on several levels

1) hi, it didn't start until april, that's a good enough reason. ):

2) musicals are addicting.

3) i'm in love with the actors/actresses!

4) they all sing ♥

5) ogod, it's just so funny

6) i wanted to know what happened between schue & emma (SO CUTE.)

7) their renditions of pop songs and old classics are creative, quirky and .. uhm.. whats another word for brilliant..

8) it's a modern sesame street plethora of a cast

(and as a side note:

i dislike cory monteith and taylor swift together.

-gag-)

hmm; my favourite renditions

'confessions & it's my life'

'defying gravity (duo)'

'sweet caroline'

'don't stand so close to me & young girl' <- for it's comical value

okay here are some quotes from today's episode!

"mercedes is black and im gay - we make the culture"

"lindsay lohan looks like something out of lord of the rings"

"you have all the sexuality as the pandas down at the zoo who refuse to mate"

"just come out so we can talk,.. or sing about it"

"mr schue is he your son?"

XO; i wish my life was a musical.

XOXO; i wish i knew people who sung as spontaneously, sporadically and as crazy good as them

"don't stop believing"

my posts lack life.

maybe this is just one of those 'coincidental moments',

on the planet earth,

i think music is a beautiful translator between all ages, races and cultures.

danielle is a super talented artist on youtube.

i've been following her since it was 'danielleatethesandwich' (i think haha, she switched channels recently)

she's got such a sincere voice and is beyond talented with the ukelele&guitar.

it's an oldie, but one of my favourite originals from her.

In a note pad in my living room
There are words there that you wrote not to long ago
And if you leave me
And we don't exchange each other's things
I will keep them and pretend they were about me

In the closet
There are your clothes hanging there
In the cupboards
The food is how you left it
In the freezer
The frozen pizzas pine along with me
And so we wait for you to come home

In a factory
In a small mid western town
There are women
Manufactured by the hour
And they are sexy
And they know more about comic books then me
And when you're gone I worry that they found you

If you don't come back to me this time
If you don't come back to me now, me now
If you don't come back to this town
If you don't come back to me

Well there are over six billion people on the planet earth
I am one, you are an other
Every second that we spend together brings us closer to where we will end up

In the toy aisle of some department store
I will wait there
Excepting you to show
And if you don't come
I will start a conversation with myself
And even when your gone you are well spoken

If you don't come back to me this time
If you don't come back to me now
If you don't come back to me this time
If you don't come back to me now, me now

i'm in a slump.

and it's over trivial things that i just keep relating back to.

really? today?

i hate running into people.

it's such an awful inconvenience.

i mean.

i'm all for sporatic and random reunions but - sometimes there are those days where you really just don't want to be seen.

.. or perhaps see specific people.

and of course, whenever you have a day like that - you run into everyone and anyone.

conversations begin to get awkward and there are only so many things to bring up with an acquaintance without sounding like you're in an uncomfortable interview

"hows school, what program are you in, what do you want to be, oh yeah the economy is pretty unstable ):, etcetc"

or it's the worst when each of you thinks it will be a short "hello/goodbye" thing and they end up walking the same way as you, or take the same bus as you.

AUGH, LOL.

and then aside from conversations, its appearance.

the day you look like death will be the day you see a girl you hated from school, a bitch at a party, a crush, an ex-boyfriend, and just about anyone else you can name that shouldn't be in your presence. X_X

the thing with acquaintances too is that there's a slight elation in seeing them.

like. are we supposed to hug? am i supposed to say 'i miss you, we should hang out!' do i give them my number? I DONT UNDERSTAND.

._.;

"you treat me just like, another stranger"

5 facts, GO

!; i am officially finished 1 out of my 4 classes for this spring semester!

@; i like to eat chicken bowls from Kojo @ lougheed mall (:

#; i hate when people cough without covering their mouths

$; i was born in china

%; the future me will be a crazy cat lady ♥

"i just need you now"

past, present and what may be.

do you ever have those moments that may not define your life, but question every decision and action made?

i'm not at all trying to be attention-whoring, depressed or trying to come off as super emotional (and no, i'm not pmsing thank you.) ..

i just, often come across these times or moments of insecurity.

moments where i'm surrounded by my self-pity :\

and from there on, thoughts just go downhill-

picking up every emotionally traumatic memory in my past 18 years.

i guess i've been re-evaluating decisions i've made in the recent years.

there are always going to be things i wish i never did,

words i never said,

and, regrettably.. people i wish i never met.

and i guess these 3 sum up life.

sum up who you are, where you are in your life and how it all came to be.

there's a thousand and one things i wish i could redo in my adolescent life.

but thinking about these trivial things

or dwelling over the past makes me wonder.

do you think of me the same way i think of you?

but i guess if i have to question it, the feelings probably weren't mutual.

i know i should give my past up, but i can't help but hold on.

i'm in love with the idea of things, the presence of people.

i hold on to memories and recycle them in fear i may not come across someone like you;

or a moment like this,

or an opportunity so appealing.

"i wanna believe in someone,

i wanna believe in something.

i want to believe that i can love again."

pencil biting

ahh ):

finals this week and next week.

i am definitely feeling the pressure sink in; why?

because i, my friend, procrastinate.

D:

it's a terrible, terrible thing

and no matter what happens i just can't learn my lesson.

BUT.

i am trying.

so, for this week and next week i will be studying my butt off until early in the morning!

i wish everyone good luck with their finals and i will update with a real post either later today or early this week (:

crazy obsessed fan (pt. 1)

this'll be a continuing series if you will,
of all the people i could potentially stalk.
or have stalked.

.. anyways!

the three words i'm dying to hear:
neil patrick harris
OH BABY.

i can't even fathom how much i admire and love him.
he is ridiculously funny on himym (if you don't know what that acronym means, you aren't watching it - so get on that!)
and he's so dreamy -faints-
OH GOD. AND HIS VOICE.
he can serenade me any day :3

this is more of a spastic post because my thoughts about him (HELLO) aren't so organized
i just overall really want him.

his character on himym is brilliant!
barneystinson (L)
suits (L)
womanizer (L)
his blog, and bro code book are absolute genius.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4CuHcrwXmk <- musical scene in himym
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT1DZVn5h2Y <- opening act for grammies!

i have spent way too many nights on youtube looking up practically every clip he's been in beside himym
and waaaaaaay too much time reading up on his blogs and going to sites mentioned about him on himym

XO; this is also an extension of my love for himym

doogie howser can perform a physical on me anyday
. ...(except that doesn't apply to the child actor....)





"i'm gonna give all my secrets away"

nap time

picture this:
you wake up in the morning (feeling like p-diddy) [okay no. but bare with me]
rubbing your eyes you glance at your clock
finally! a day to yourself
nothing else remains for you to do, so you sort of lounge around
watching general hospital and making your favourite brown sugar oatmeal you hear a whine
a cold wet nose nudges your elbow
you look down only to see a furball staring at you

the dog wants out for a brisk walk
wagging his tail he looks at you with his puppy dog eyes
you finish your bowl reluctantly and remove yourself from the couch stretching
alright buster, let's go
you grab your keys and a light jacket - out you both go for your morning adventure!
but wait!
you're still in your pajama pants!
oh thats alright. it'll only be for 10 minutes around the neighbourhood. no one will even see me!

AU CONTRAIRE, MADAM.
i personally think there is no reason for any individual to wear their sleepwear outside.
unless you're in middle school/high school and it's pajama bottoms day :3
BUT STILL. that's pushing it!
no matter what small errand you have to do, why should that stop you from wearing pants!!!

i know - they come in adorable colours and have insanely cute images on them but really?
let's keep our negligee and sleepwear strictly indoors

COME ON, PEOPLE.
it's not hard to change into sweat pants!! (:

hello!

5 facts, GO.

!; i wish i had unlimited texting ):

@; i really admire Filipino culture !

#; i'm going to do an 'asian country hopping' tour with my mom after i get my graduate degree

$; i wish i could redo my academic life.

%; i wish i knew html better T__T;

"i'm sailing the sky"

toiletries.

XO; this is a total rant post

when nature calls, you gotta answer.

.. but do you need to.. speak all over the seat?

i understand no one really likes to go to the washroom in public places because

"it's so dirty" "yuck! i can catch STI's from the seat!" "noone -really- cleans the restrooms..."

but it's only that dirty because you are all inconsiderate and nasty yourselves D:!!!!

i hear from like my friends (or i see it from randoms =_=) that people crouch over the seat rather than sit on the seat to pee.

yo, i'm so cool with that cause i mean - safety first right?

but is it really necessary for you to pee on the seat?

you can at least wipe the seat clean for the next person to use it. D:

the longer you keep it on the seat, the more bacteria can spread and cultivate which makes it even worse to the next users ):

(BY THE WAY. same goes to you ladies with your period. let's try to keep the stall blood free, thanks)

speaking of nasty, flushing the toilet with your foot ain't so sanitary either.

1) it's rude. you have hands, use them. you're already going to be washing them anyways - so why not flush with them too!

2) it's super germy conducting bacteria from the floor onto the toilet handle D:

also to clear up some urban myths

you can't catch STI's from a toilet seat, unless you plan on rubbing the inside of your vagina on an uncleaned seat.

BUT. if you keep the seat clean there is even a less chance (if there is) of you contracting any disease, (:

sorry for the super rant post );

i just am really disgusted with the multiple generations and races that use public washrooms.

no one likes it - but you're not making it any cleaner by doing what you're doing ):

i hope you all stay clean & never contract a disease from the surface of a public washroom. (:

"you and me baby ain't nothing but mammals, so let's do it like they do on the discover channel"

housekeeping pt. 1

ahhh.

it's been a while since i've posted but i haven't had any 'alone' time so to speak

this'll just be an update post as a filler

i came back from my eater weekend shopping trip, went to my friends for a birthday sleepover and then went to the aritzia warehouse sale + metrotown and after that i went to my aunts for easter dinner.

i got home late & all i wanted to really do was clean my room. so i did that until 1AM ._.;

this long weekend was really fun;

i love going to the states with my mom & aunt, my sister didn't wanna come this trip ):

unfortunately by going on the trip i missed out on some shindigs that happened this weekend ):

i also really wanted to watch clash of the titans D:

poo.

the artizia warehouse was super bunk.

there was a mass production of olympic items that clearly didn't produce as much hype as they thought;

aaaaand. with that being said there were only maybe.. 10 different articles of clothing : O

i was pretty unimpressed D: last years was much better!

i'm not a super big fan of aritzia because i think they are overpriced for the items they make and overrated as well X_X;

so, why do i go to the aritzia warehouse sale?

- because i'm cheap and things are discounted >:)

easter dinner was yummy and full of family cheer!
i got to meet a distant uncle which was pretty cool!

(i love turkey. :3)

okay.

housekeeping posts are super boring,

on to the next one!

"1, 2, 3, 4 - tell me that you love me more"

south of canada

so currently i am in the states for this easter weekend on a shopping bus trip!
i go to the states maybe like three times a year;
either to las vegas, a location where dance (when i was in it) competitions used to be or just over the border for some casual shopping.
lately the money, as obviously noted, exchange has been very good - almost par! :D

i really enjoy doing my shopping in the states because there are more bargains, i find, and there is a better selection of clothes.
also, there's a less chance of other people having the same articles of clothing as i do.
i know, i know - it's stingy and a stupid reason
"why do you care if that girl has the same outfit as you, etc,etc"
but i mean if i am looking for something for awhile, or spend maybe $30 - $50 on it - i really don't want someone else to have a carbon copy of it ):
makeup in the states is also cheaper than in walmart in canada!! (:

it's a 2 night trip to oregon (YUM. no tax)
aaaand there is one night left ):
i haven't bought too much - i hope to buy a lot today!

i want vancouver to be tax-free ):

just a quick update so no picture, i might edit this post later.

XO;

hmm. so after unpacking i realized i didn't quite buy as much as i thought i did

which is really depressing because i love shopping in the states and i really wanted to take advantage of no tax!

but oh well, i should save my american money for my trip in june with the famjam!

i bought mostly shirts

some summer ones, and others more dressy tank tops that can go under cardigans

i picked up a pair of chucks, strappy sandals x2 and heels.

i really wanted to find knee highs, but i guess that is out of season ):

and i also wanted to get a pair of dance/fashion sneakers (NIKE's or ADIDAS) - i always get one every trip X_X

but i must have economic willpower.

i can always ask for those sneakers for a birthday present or get them later on in the year since i'm not doing any dance right now ):

i wanted to buy pants, but i hate going jean shopping T_T

i always feel like i'm having a fat day - and no one likes to spend $30 - $50 on jeans that leave you feeling uncertain about your appearance.

we didn't get a chance to eat at the olive garden because:

a) we thought there wasn't one there even when my aunt kept saying there was

b) i wanted to do as much shopping as possible

c) i also wanted to save my money for eating towards shopping xD

- my favourite place to eat in the states is olive garden and tony roma's.

the service they give you at olive garden is superb!!

they are very nice and enthusiastic

smart - because it increases their tip by a buttload

(: but aside from the service the food is delectable!

OBOI just thinking about it makes my mouth water :3
