Dramas...

-Some dramas I've recently finished watching are "Zhe Li Fa Xian Ai" or Wish to See You Again, "Lan Qiu Huo" or Hot Shot, and "Bu Liang Xiao Hua" or Miss no Good. Man... I'm seriously a crybaby. I wanted to say how surprised I was at crying for 3 dramas in a row. But looking back and reading my list of finished Taiwan dramas, I've actually shed tears for the last 4 dramas that I've watched.
-Skip the 5th most recent one because I actually didn't finish watching it. This one was the last one I watched in 2007.
-Continuing backwards on my list, the 6th recent, although I also didn't finish watching Bull Fighting, what I've seen was quite sad. Some of the later episodes, which I've seen in Taiwan in the summer, was totally tear jerking. For Bull Fighting, I can't remember what episode I stopped at, but I didn't get to watch the rest without missing anything in Taiwan and I'm too lazy to go download it. I actually can't remember the ending... Or maybe I didn't even watch the ending... hmm... Something to ponder upon. xP
-7th recent, Sweet Relationship, had its snooze moments, but I did end up tearing up in a scene or two.
-Okay, back to the more recent ones, the 1st one I watched in 2008 is Fated to Love You. I can't specifically remember the exact scene I cried in, but I can guaratee that I cried watching this drama. I watched around 3 episiodes of it in Canada on computer and continiued watching it in Taiwan in the summer. Its viewing percent was pretty high. I think they got up to 13% = 13% of people in Taiwan was watching this drama at the same time at some point when this drama was airing. That's pretty good. Only 2nd to a drama in Taiwanese dialect. The reason why so many people watch the drama in Taiwanese dialect is because most people in taiwan speak it even though people of Taipei don't really like it. Also, elders, generally, have the time around noon to afternoon to watch T.V. Not sure if I really make sense, but it's hard for me to explain it in writing. I think my english got worse what with speaking to Johnny in Mandarin everyday and all... *sigh*
-With a drama that I mentioned in the 1st paragraph, Wish to See You Again, I cried 11 times. And yes, I do keep track for the purpose of comparing dramas.
-I don't think I cried as much as 11 times watching Hot Shot, but I do remember full out sobbing while watching episode 12. To explain why, one has to understand that this drama is about basketball. There's a really evil guy who plays b-ball and fouls in a way that judges can't find proof. His fouls are lethal. He hits vital points and is unmerciful. Playing with him, players on the opposite team start to collapse and the judges can't do anything with no proof. He really wants to do what he does to a person called "Dong Fang Xiang". The main character, "Yuan Da Yi", for the girl he likes, puts himself in the way of the evil player's attacks while "Dong Fang Xiang" scores because the girl likes DongFangXiang. Because DaYi is a special type of human with super athletic cells, abilities, and body, he was able to keep receiving hits. But at one point, he collapsed. Throughout the whole episode I was basically sobbing my eyes out. Crazy.
-Miss no Good is a drama that I just started on, yesterday, and finished, today. Its not in its proper episode sequence. It was supposed to be only 14 episodes. But for some reason, the version that I downloaded had 21 episodes. When I refer to the episodes, it would be wrong for the way other people count it using the 14 episode way. Using my way, on the 20th episode, when the guy who liked the leading female tried to let go of his feelings saying that he likes her because he's still stuck in the past, in elementary when he was the fat kid, "Jia Fei". Fei=fat. "Jia" is his family name. His real name is "Jia Si Le". I swear to god, it was so sad. This whole drama basically made me cry a shitload of times. Whether or not it made me cry over 11 times, I don't. I didn't keep track for Hot Shot and Miss no Good. I totally should have. It was stupid of me not to because all 3 are tear jerkers. The way "Si Le" thinks, acts, and pursues his love all make me cry. I think I wouldn' t mind if he was the one with the leading female instead of the leading male. The whole "Goodbye, my past. Goodbye, old me. Goodbye, 'Xiao Hua'" scene was VERY dramatic. I was effing BAWLING! Like, holy SHIT bawling. And like I said, It's not just episode 12. "Si Le" was a character that really effected me. "Xiao Hua" is the leading female. At some point in the drama, I thought that the leading male, "Tang Men" couldn't even be compared to SiLe's feelings for XiaoHua ran so much deeper and longer than TangMen. *sigh* I think I would've liked XiaoHua to be with SiLe instead of TangMen. The girl that SiLe ended up with, in the end, totally pissed me off. I don't think it was a good match. It sort of felt like he ditched XiaoHua for "Jiang Mi" or because JiangMi was all over him and he couldn't get XiaoHua, he decided to give JiangMi a chance or something like that. In the end, I just don't like the pairing of SiLe and JiangMi. I would rather have SiLe like XiaoHua forever and silently look after even when she chooses TangMen than have that horrible pairing. *sigh*
-I skipped a lot of dramas in 2008 because I of work since February. Since I'm not working anymore, I'm trying really hard to catch up and go back to my habit of downloading dramas airing in Taiwan every week. There are two dramas that aired during the time of my pause that I decided not to pursue. One didn't look very interesting. The other didn't sound interesting. Oh wells.
-I should finish watching "Wu Di San Bao Mei" but I think because of a preview, I sort of lost interest in it. I'll probably finish it though since I have all the episodes downloaded in my computer. I think the reason it got a bit boring was because the plot was set to be dragged on for 17 episodes.
-I'm going to San Jose again on the 24th. It's Ricky's birthday. He invited me, but I can't go... *sigh*.

Remembrance Day

-I haven't been back to Norquay for sooo effin long... Always going to shopping with Nicole on Friday's now... Speaking of Fridays, on Friday, November 7th, Nicole, Joey, and I baked brownies. the way we prepared the butter was so disgusting. Man... It was like, we smushed it in our hands and pushed it into the teaspoon to make sure the measurements were correct. xD I think it would've turned out fine if we didn't double the ingredients. I thought someone was going to eat it. But it turns out, Nicole doesn't like chocolate and Joey doesn't eat much at all. Plus, the brownie really was pretty bad. We had to go out in the harsh rain to get the cocoa and baking soda, too. Ahh... such a nostalgic memory even though it was only a couple of days ago. We played MJ while waiting for the brownies to bake.
-I actually won once or twice. Amazing. >< I really should be doing my hw right now, but I just don't want to...
-Today's Remembrance Day. Well, yesterday, if you want to get technical about it. But I haven't slept yet, so I'm calling it today. So sad. I listened and watched "A Pittance of Time" again. I cried SO effin hard, man.
-First, I was reading a really sad fanfiction. When I cooled down, it was 11:09 am. I watched "A Pittance of Time" and started to cry again. As the music video progressed, I cried even harder. *sigh* When it was done, around 11:13am, I had my own little moment of silence.
-Yesterday's assmebly was ridiculous. The computer which contained the video the staff wanted to show us screwed up and we waited for so long. Like, 10 minutes? Then people started talking because, well, what do you expect? People to sit arond and be quiet while there's nothing to do? No way. Of course people would talk. Then this random girl who I don't know suddenly yelled out, "Shut up!" or was it "Be quiet!"? I can't remember. I think she said that three times. It pissed me off. Then someone from the other corner of the auditorium yelled back something else like, "We are quiet!" or something. Don't know. My hearing's pretty screwed.
-They couldn't get the comp up and working in time so they started the moment of silence. Then the dude who was playing thye trumpet screwed up so many times that the sound of it was sort of funny and I couldn't get into the mood and almost bursted out laughing.
-Oh wells. At least I had my own moment of silence today.
-Okay, starting on hw now. baibai~~

Halloween

-Holy crap. I can never find the "New Post" button. Although I realize it's a bit late to talk about Halloween, I just want to say that it was sooo fun. Got to dress up and everything.Blehh... This pic is so ugly but it's how my "costume" looked like. It's more of an outfit than costume. See the skirt? Yeah. The story is behind that skirt is mentioned in the post previous to my privious post. ><
-Got so many candy. Went with Nicole, Joey, and Tanya. Tanya came to my place first, then Joey got here, then Nicole. We got prepped and everything and cam-whored for a while. We did the timer taking thing on Nicole's camera and it was so funny! The camera clicked once. Then, while nicole was trying to look at the pics, it clicked again, and again. Nicole totally wasn't expecting that. Lol. Then we were all like, lets wait and see if it's going to click again. Man...
-After trick or treating, we all went over to Nicole's to play MJ. Tanya's a really fast learner and Joey's a really good teacher. I'm sooo slow at MJ. I swear, I suck like hell. Nicole was so mad at me. xP I kept asking her what chicken was. Teehee
-Nicole's outfit was soooo cute. She kept talking in a nerdy voice and saying stuff like, the air that I cough out is flowing at about blank km/hr or what not. xD I drew freckles on her face just to look even nerdier. She had this really retarded laughter. Man... I was thinking of all her nerd phrases, too. Haha.

-I went to play piano. While doing so, I suddenly thought of something. Every year, I spend X-Mas alone and I feel crappy about since it's suppose to be a family thing filled with warmth. This year, I don't know if it's going to be filled with warmth, but I know for sure I'm not spending it alone. What if, instead of a crappy X-Mas, I'm getting a crappy Halloween? What if, It's meant to be that I should spend my Halloween alone and feeling crappy?
-Hmm... something to ponder upon. >< Totally random huh? The thought just appeared in my head while I was in front of my piano and I just wanted to put my theory out there. xP

Halloween Problems

-Halloween's coming up!!! w00t! I'm so excited to dress up and go TTing. Johnny's been telling me about thsi game recently and he has yet to send it to me. He's making it sound so good that I just want to play it. I finished my resume. Now all I have to do is think of where to apply.. hmm...
-I couldn't get the skirt I wanted for Halloween... BUT, thankfully, i have a back up that I bought from Taiwan. Man... Looked all over Crystal for another skirt but i guess that's just my luck. You might wonder why it took so long to get that skirt... well, at first, i had to tell my mom, first. then when i checked, the price went down so i thought that my memory was failing me and it has always been that low. Later on, i found out that it went UP. That's when i realized that it actually goes up and down. Then i tried to go on the Bodyline site to get it but it asked for paypal and creditcard so i got suspicious. Then Nancy told me it was TOTALLY safe. But by then, it was too late. SOOO unlucky, right?
This is what i wanted to get, originally.
Is it not beautiful??? T_____T



After not being able to get the one above, I decided use this one. This is the front. Note: I will be wearing another layer underneath so it will, hopefully, look puffed up. ^^




This is the back of the skirt. I know there's a big difference between the styles, but this is my last resort. >< I've been pushed to a corner.



-I originally wanted to go with Nancy to TT but I really wanted to hang with my windy friends. I, then, found out that TanTan couldn't find her costume. Guess what she was going to be? Little Red! Coincidental much? Crazy. Nicole was also asking me what I was going to do for Halloween. Joey and Nicole wants to play MJ, but for some reason, I don't really want to go with them. TanTan is having scary movie marathon at her place and i'm hoping to go later on after trick or treating. But Nancy, if you're reading this... TAKE ME WITH YOOUUU!! TT________TT

friday outs

Holy shit! I watched the movie, Quarantine, today. It was so effin scary. Nicole 's physical reaction is very weird when she gets scared. She has very large movements. For me, when i get scared, i just bring my arm up to shield myself with my jacket. I hated that movie. To me, there was no statement to be made in that movie. It seemed like a movie with "no nutritional value". >< style="font-style: italic;">Eagle Eye and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. *sigh* so want to watch it. and so want to get a job. I feel so poor these days, I can't even chill with nicole. Johnny's been pissing me off these days. He puts up arguements that are not even so. I'd call them quarrels. Oh yeah, before movie, went to the Korean Barbeque playce to eat. It't not likei haven't been there before but i never seem to get tired of it
tired, sleeping
night~~

w00t!!!

- Crazy! I got in the musical!!! So happy~~ I tried out with two of my friends, but one didn't get in... Still, I wish her all the luck with her secret beloved. xP She told me I was slow a few counts at the dance auditions. I thought I totally screwed up! It's like, PHEW..! Even though my role is only a nun, I'm pretty thrilled just to be in the musical.
- I tried to organize my pics in aiwan to post on fb. It's sooo tiring and time consuming. =T I'm still not done yet so it's still not ready to go on fb...
- I found the sheet music for "Wo De Kuai Le" or "My Happiness" from "Fated to Love You". Took me quite a while to find it. Just my luck, my printer's out of ink! Man... what luck... Hope I can find someone to print it for me tmr...

problems

Today/yesterday, I tried talking all my problems out. I don't know if it worked, but... yeah... It has been bugging for a LOOONG while now. Problems with my friend. I keep thinking, "maybe it's just me". Over the years, there are things I haven't said that i just keep inside. Should I use this chance and clear everything or as long as this most recent problem solves, we have the chance of restarting things? People tell me to let go, but I can't. I can't let go of my friend and as long as my friend is willing to solve this problem and move on with me while remaining friends, i will fight to hold on.
