And then I decided..

I still haven't finished my readings...looks like I'll have to sleep late again tonight...however, I just cannot resist the urge to blog (due to not having blog for such a long time...there's just too much to tell..)

1) I relaxed yesterday ^__^

Went to Brentwood Mall afterschool to meet sis/dad for a family dinner...I did some shopping (meaningly: 2 pairs of shoes --> addidas runners + le chateau high heel...I'm pretty happy w/ these since I've been wanting to buy and budgeting for both of these for sometimes ..so pat on the back for me)

We went to family dinner w/ one of my dad's business friends who was super kind to bring me and my sis cell phones from China as presents lol~(thu I already have one and like mine more than that ...but still I'm so amazed by how much ppl are willing to give up for business haha & I definitely wonder if I would do the same things in the future....)

The day ended w/ me watching (and namely sleeping my way thru) Dracula 1992 and Dracula 2000 on Space Channel. Not that they're not interesting...just I'm way too tired..

In fact Dracula 1992 was actually quite interesting, due to beautiful KEANU REEVES & Winona Ryder, beautiful dresses, acceptable Dracula and romantic plot...I never knew Dracula is a romanian duke and knight in the fourteenth century, fighting for the church. He only became a vampire to see his love* again (*his love (played by Winona Ryder) thought he died in battle and thus commited suicide). And so as the plot goes...Dracula finds his love 4 centuries later and attempt to take her w/ him, despite her present fiance (Keanu Reeves). Anyhow, a tragedy...and Dracula was slained, but wow...I actually appreciated the film...it reminded me so much of Lit12 where we studied (beginning?) Romantic Era novels (Frankenstein & Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde which I read and Dracula which I never read)...it really is a romantic but gothic novel ...not just the love elements ....but also the great contrast between science and unexplainables..the battles to be fought w/ nature..the fantasy which explores human imagination....altogether making the piece such a beauty!!

So...when it came to Dracula 2000...gosh..what an awful movie by contrast T____T...first..I just can't believe Dracula = Juda Iscariot Q___Q (that fact just makes me scream...the way the plot/script is altered entirely makes this beautiful romantic era literature loses meaning)...And then...Dracula wants to be w/ his own daughter (I was really swearing by this point......it's just too grouse to imagine ack~)

So by the end of the two movies...althu tired, I was so pist..I just cant sleep anymore lol~ And so I spent some hours dwidling here and there...I even changed my self-pic on my facebook lol~ And finally (realizing it's 3AM...I literally forced myself to bed in order to get up in the morning for BMP orientation lol)

2) And then...watching Dracula reminds me of my dream :)
In the movie ..Dracula is the girl's lover from past life.....and the girl will continuously dream about her past life and Dracula...until she finally meets Dracula....this makes me think about past life in general...in fact, I do believe in past life b/c how else can anyone explain why and how some dreams are just so clear, so repetitious and so touching...but at the same time so unexplanable...
I used to have this dream (well actually more than one dream....but they all connect together) all the time...medieval ....europe...queen....dukes...prince....chosen bride...escape...nights...full moon...(sounds almost like a fairy tale)....thu they all connect together..I never seems to wake up and remember the full details.....

But what catches me the most is that....there will always be this scene (I call it scene now..since it's almost like a play to me) where it's a full moon night....I'm sitting on an open grass field and staring at the moon....I look really young....possibly 15 or 16....on me...there's colorful medieval clothing w/ precious gems and beads....Far away walks near someone of power (possibly a prince/duke?) w/ black cloak ...he speaks to his followers..giving instructions....they leave...he takes a few more steps toward me....stops and watches me..... his eyes sparkling in the moon light....I turn my head ....see him and smile joyfully...

Then I would wake up....I would never remember his face....but only his figure and his eyes...but I would always feel like crying upon waking up....Sometimes I really wanto know what happened afterward....(if I'm so happy in the dream...why would I be so sad after I wake up??) When ever I have this dream...I would always be depressed for a few days....but now althu I'm so anxious to know what happened...I'm actually pretty glad I haven't had the dream for sometime (mainly b/c I'm too tired to have dreams lol~~)

3) At BMP orientation today....we did a team-building what not game...where we had to find about 12 items around campus....(i.e. U-Pass, license ...not super hard...) But what surprised me was...we had to find a family photo....and amazingly no one NO ONE (out of like 30 ppl ) actually keep family photo in their wallet or even w/ them....not even me....

This just came by me by surprise...and makes me think Sociology...what's happening to our society really?? Is family relations starting to degrade so much that even university students (most likely from less problematic families) don't even value family relations anymore....? Thu this is a hard question to dissect...but this idea made me realize the importance of family....and the meaning of having a family photo w/ me always.....So I decided ..from now on..I shall put a family photo in my wallet lol~

4) Talking about family photo also made me realize....man..I miss my mom >.< and she won't be back till like 2 weeks later ( so after my finals).... Tears****

Anyhow...I am rily gonna go study..or else...I would die...I really do wonder if I'll be able to sleep at all tonite....trying to finish the gigantic amount of readings.....(tears*)
Stupid readings....if it's not b/c of them...I could have gone to 1) fireworks w/ my family 2) concert w/ highschool friends ....:P

FIFA ITALIA ^____^

WHEE~ ITALY WON!!!

What an awesome and intense game ^.^ too bad I wasn't able to go to Commercial Drive and chill w/ my friends to celebrate the win~~ (stupid essay >.<)

But at least I got to cheer on it w/ mom ...sitting on the cozy couch of my house and eating chips lol~

By the end of the game, I felt ecstatic for Italy...but a little sorry for the crying French thu...

However, I was definitely 100% shocked (w/ facial expression like this ----> (O > O) ) when Zidane headbutted Materazzi in the chest: yes suresure....you were offended ..but dude..nice job for throwing your career down the toilet...

Still most of all..Buffon remains to be my hero for the FIFA 2006 (along w/ Beckham ^.^)
hehe~ Buffon is the best goalie ~~ w/ losing only 2 goals thruout all 7 games (and even those 2 goals were somewhat understandable!)....and last but not least: HE'S HOT ~yuttiyuttiyatta :D

Sudden Realization: What Movies Mean To Me...

So it's been somedays and I am still not over "The Lake House"...so I finally decided to talk more about it so I can get over it...even if this means spoiling the movie for some ppl (sorry lol~)

So I was chatting w/ Shashi last night as he asked me what I've done for my long weekend...and I told him about going to the movie alone...b/c most of my friends and in fact most ppl don't find such type of movie (romantic comedy) worth-while to see in theatre.

Afterward, I carefully thought about why this movie was a theatre must-see for me...it obviously wasn't simply b/c I like seeing romantic comedies...(Here, I should give a little backgound about me and movies: I love seeing movies, but I rarely see them in theatres...Those who know me well and have invited me to watch movies definitely know about this. I don't often go to theatres, only 5-6 times in a year. I only watch movies in theatre when I believe they are worth-while. The last movie I saw in theatre willingly before "The Lake House" was "The Phantom of the Opera" because it's such a classic musical in which I could only totally submerge myself in through the awesome sound system of the theatre. Also "The Phantom of the Opera" also had something in its plot that entices me, but I won't talk about that now.)

So "The Lake House" definitelly don't need awesome sound system necessarily....then why did it seducted me so much that I decided to go to theater for it?

After looking at some interviews from the movie...I realized...the movie isn't just about two lovers...The movie is about the ability to strip away reason and simply believe with an innocent heart...
To believe in yourself...
To believe in something magical...something impossible...
The two lovers, though separated by time, were able to communicate with each other b/c they believed in the magic mailbox that sends letters across time ...in something impossible...in each other...and in fact in themselves and in their own ability to change the future.

No wonder this movie catches me... b/c it's really a reflection of my own struggle at this time of my life:
As I watched the movie...I struggled....I kept on telling and resoning with myself this time obstacle between the two characters is ridiculous. They can never be together with such an obstacle... But as the end of the movie portrays - nothing is impossible if you simply believe and take a chance........
And I can totally relate this to my struggle in real life...right at this moment... This semester had been harsh <-- I never seem to be able to be on top of things like I used to...to the point that I'm losing faith in myself......Those goals in which I should attain seems impossible...and yes..I'm worn out. As I keep telling myself I should focus and attain my goals, the opposite happens because deep inside me I feel hard to believe that I can do this and that I should risk to take a chance...
The movie moved me not only b/c of the comedy ending...but b/c it told me I should open my heart....believe in something impossible...believe in myself and my own ability to change the future.....and just take a chance...

And then I realize what my "criteria" is for rating a movie as "worthwhile" and a theatre-must-see: Movies I think are worthwhile are the ones that moves me by giving me the motivation and encouragements through every step of my life.....
In fact, the movies I like aren't necessarily good movies...but simply those that reflect my thoughs, my dreams, my life and basically me!

Some Laughters & Some Frustrations

So as I do some masking to save my face from past 3 days of sleeping late, just got back from Career Days OC meeting...and before I actually start hw doing (feeling very guilty right now...haha),....let's blog about how the "wonderful" long weekend went~~

So I "finally" watched THE LAKE HOUSE......wahwah~ it was so awesome (almost burst into tears first out of grief b/c I thought it was a tragic ending...then out of happiness b/c of the twist from tragedy to comedy :D:D) But I think I'll spare the details of the plot of the movie to just not spoil the movie for those of my friends who will be watching or want to watch it~
However...one thing bad I got from the movie....hehe...so over the entire weekend after seeing the movie ....I can only think of the movie..Keanu Reeves...the movie ...Keanu Reeves haha~ <--- so this somewhat spared me from working haha~ And yesterday lunch w/ Sepi & Kat + nite market w/ Kat & Yan were awesome!!!! (wah...I should rily stop using this word). Althu we never went to Guu for lunch (like we planned)..we went to Shabusen(?not sure how to spell) and had all you can eat.... It was hilarious ...we ordered so much...by the time we were full...I think there were still like 8 california rolls...some sashimi ..teriyaki and stuff left...So we had to pay the $1/person (I think) fee for wasting food (oops*)...When I told my sis about this...she was like, "Well, you guys should have wrapped those up and dump into the toilet, lol~"...Yesyes..why didn't we do that~~ But hey at least...we gave the left over to homeless ppl~~ But it was awesome lunch thu...(althu later I realize there was probably lots of MSG..b/c both me & Kat were thirsty like crazy in the nite market..dunno about Sepi).... However....very very huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SEPI (Cheers**)

Nite Market: althu we didn't really spent a lot of time there...I was pretty happy w/ the stuff I bought :):) which are a hat, a hairband, and cute folders~~ This is actually pretty lots compared to last time where I only bought folders hehe~ (but I'm glad I went shopping w/ my friends instead of my family....I feel bad bitching about this but I swear I never feel comfortable buying stuff when my family is around simply cuz they are always so critical in me "wasting money"....in a way, I guess I am wasting the money I get from working....but the thing is...1) the stuff I buy are the stuff I want...and just because they are diff ages as me...of course they won't want necessarily the same stuff as me....so I become "money wasting" :P:P... 2) I make my own income statement and budget every month to regulate myself on how much I spend....it's not all like they think...plus I'm the one paying for my tuition and everything else..I know better to save up money for tuition.....---> whatever, I'll just avoid shopping w/ them lol~)

Anyway...now to homework and lunch:):)...
