Transformers: Robots in Disguise
Lol. I went to watch the second Transformers movie with Jerry and my brother yesterday. We had to give Jerry a ride, but when we got to his house I couldn’t contact him. I called his cell phone but no one picked up, and then I rang the doorbell (his actual house is waaaaaaaay inside a wall of gate). I had to resort to calling his brother and asking for their home phone number (turns out the door bell was broken… been for 2 years too).
We went and bought our ticket (actually, I paid for my ticket and my brother’s). He had a premium pass or something, and he said he had two free tickets so I didn’t have to buy my ticket, but it didn’t turn out that way…. =_______= Lol whatever.
We went to the food court first because it was still kind of early, but we weren’t hungry so we decided to go to Starbucks. I don’t really know my way around the mall, so we ended up walking the long way to Starbucks (“Geez Jerry you could’ve told us.”) and didn’t have time to finish our drinks if we bought them, so we just walked back to the theater. We bought the largest kettle corn (our lunch) and went to find a seat. When we entered the auditorium, some of the good seats were already taken, but we still got a pretty good one. Then more people came in and the place got filled up pretty fast.
The movie was pretty good seeing how it was a sequel (most of them suck; they’re only produced for the money of anticipating people who will just get disappointed). I read a Yahoo! article about how twin robots in there were racist, and after seeing the movie, it is kind of evident. Not only that, a lot of characters in there displayed racism…. Such a patriotic movie that puts the U.S. in absolutely a glorified light. Lol. Still a good movie thought. Except Megan Fox can’t act. (She had, what, 20 lines throughout the entire 2 hour movie? She’s more of like a scenery or background image, you know? Just there, for you to look at.)
And today was Relay For Life, which I hosted with Yang (it’s still going on, but I didn’t stay). It was hot. How the heck did it get so hot all of a sudden? And on this day too! This is an event to raise cancer awareness and celebrate, remember, and support cancer patients/survivors. Well, after staying in the sun, I’m not surprised if all of us end up with skin cancer. =_______=
We started the event a little late, so we had to rush through introducing the teams. It was very, very unorganized. A lot of the teams weren’t even in order (if they even showed up). We would have team 65 followed by team 28 or something. Yang and I had to flip through our pages to try and properly introduce the team name and bio. And the slight wind today just had to blow all of our script to the ground, so we were flipping, picking, and reading papers, and at the same time trying to figure out what the next team was. I had to read all the teams with Chinese bios, and when I practiced, I read them slowly just in case I mess up. BUT during the real event, people walked by so fast I had to speed through bios (I was already getting tongue-tied with the English part), so whenever I saw a bio in COMPLETE Chinese, I panicked. >.<
Through all that mess, though, I think I did pretty well. I dunno, hosting with Yang makes everything less scary on stage. I guess it’s because he’s been acting and performing on stage for so long and so many times that he’s used to it and doesn’t seem scared, so I kind of just follow his lead. Haha. It was fun (I had an urge to run up on stage and sing later on).
We went to buy some cold drinks at the super market nearby and at Tapioca Express. I had Thai tea with pearls. =)
Oh yeah, got my SAT II scores. Haha, I did horrible on history. Got a 610. LOL. Got a 730 for Math II. When I saw my scores, I was sad for about 10 seconds, and then I went “What the heck lemme go look at something else” and forgot all about them.
Night @ the Museum
I went to watch “Night at the Museum” (I can’t even spell museum) with Jessica and her sister Joanna Tuesday. I know the movie came out for a long time already, so there was only, like, 3 showings that day and the early bird was at 12:05 PM. When we went into the room, no one was there. We thought we could have the whole auditorium to ourselves, but then another family came in (and some other teenagers after the movie started for a while).
I thought the movie was okay, but I liked the first one better (it was way funnier). My mom drove us to the mall an hour before the movie was to start, so we ended up walking around the whole Great Mall. It was pretty empty, so that was cool. After the movie, we walked another lap around the mall. Joanna and I ended up buying clothes on sale at “5, 7, 9.” Then my mom drove us home.
My inner obsessive self has been reawakened (is that a word?). I finished the taiwanese idol drama “Miss No Good” a couple days ago (14 long episodes in 3 days!!!). “Miss No Good” is definately good.
I sobbed like a complete maniac (or like mothers watching some sappy korean drama with their favorite male lead in it), which I usually never do while watching dramas. But this–! This touched my very soul and I fell in love with it. Go watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/user/SUBlimesFansubs
Wilber aka Will Pan is so damn cute in there. I’m absolutely obsessed with him after watching this series. He is absolutely adorable. I love it when he fashions his spikiness (aka THE HAIR). xD
Look look–>
He’s cuter than the little boy next to him whom he is torturing. =]
Gahhh… he’s gushing with boyish charms.
I’m having so much fun posting his pictures. xD He’s such a hyper, overactive kid. God I wanna meet him in real life and just have him as my best best best best best male friend (cause I’ve already got female best friends <3)
It’s kind of funny how I keep saying I don’t wanna get myself Asian boyfriends, but I keep getting obsessed over cute Asian male artists. Thing is, all the good-looking ones are already on screen, so all that is left are the…. (people are going to kill me for this)
Change of topic: my Kakashi wallet BROKE & I LOST my 183 Club CD.
Remember this?
The buckle part in the back broke (practically looked like it got torn off). Poor Kakashi… I love this so, so much too. I went back through my old blogs to find that I got this wallet in 2006, so it lasted for quite a while.
And a few days ago, I was going through my CDs, and I found out my 183 Club CD case was EMPTY! E-M-P-T-Y! I thought it was in my stereo, but it wasn’t any of the CDs in there. Now I cannot for the LIFE of me remember where the hell I put that thing. At first I thought I forgot it in one of the cars we sold, but it’s unlikely since my dad would’ve checked it. Then I though I probably forgot it in one of the computers we threw away, but that seems even more impossible. I thought I might’ve accidentally put it in another CD case, but I checked all the ones which I know the CD was somewhere else, and it wasn’t there. Now I’m just down to saying that somebody must’ve borrowed and never returned it, and then we both forgot about it. But I have no clue who I could’ve lent the CD to.
For the love of me, please return my CD if you have it (and if you think you have it, search for it please!!!)!!!
Terminator Salvation
I went to watch Terminator Salvation yesterday with my entire family. Even though we had free tickets for my parents, it still cost us almost $30 to get in. Talk about expensive and insanely overpriced.
The movie was decent: nothing extraordinarily remarkable (except for some *cough* small *cough* surprises) and nothing extremely way-out-there. It had its explosions, its fights, its kisses, its tears. Christian Bale is ever hot in there, but the other main character male was pretty good-looking too.
I kind of forgot about the movie when we finished watching it because it kind of just blew by. Lol. My dad decided to watch The Dark Knight again last night, so I watched it with him. HOTTEST MOVIE EVER! LOL! xD
OMG We’re Seniors!
It’s officially summer! … but it’s not hot at all. ><
In fact, it's even raining. Lolz.
I went to the Class of 2009 Graduation yesterday! Jessica's mom came to pick me up at around 4-ish and then went to pick Shirley up too. Then we drove to the place but had to get out of the car early and walk the last block because there were so many cars (crazy traffic jam).
We all stood outside for a while taking pictures and running around to look for people we knew. When it was nearing 6 o'clock, the seniors had to line up so Joanna and I went to find a good seat so we can see people we knew. There was a line to get in because there were guards checking bags and scanning tickets. One of them pulled out my gum pack and went, "What is this? Is this some kind of candy?" Clearly he's never chewed–or seen–brand 5 gum.
I only had my digital camera, so I couldn't snap close-up pictures since we sat in the seats way up there. Joanna had those crazy long lense camera so she could zoom in more. We ended up running to the side where the seniors sat to snap pictures. The security lady there kept shooing people away because it wouldn't be organized if there was a mob of parents and friends snapping pictures on the sidelines in front of people's views. To avoid her wrath, we kept on walking up and down the stairs, pretending we were going back to our seats and running back down when we saw someone we knew. Haha.
After the senior graduation, we went outside and took some more pictures with bouquets of flowers (I ended up carrying one the entire time xD). Then we wanted to celebrate by going out to a nice restaurant, so we drove around for a long time: missing turns, driving onto a Bus Only lane, running red lights. Our first pick was to eat sushis at Japantown, but we couldn't find it, so we ended up trying to look for Original Joe's. We found it, but there were no parking spaces, so we decided to go to the Cheesecake Factory. Upon arriving, we saw the whole restaurant was crowded with people (apparently it's graduation for everyone!), so then we drove to Banana Leaf. There was a line too, and Jessica's mom wanted to see if another Thai restuarant might be emptier, but I was tired by then (it was 8:30 pm!) so I just insisted on staying and wait. There were empty tables outside, so we decided to dine in the outdoors.
We had this pulled bread/asian tortilla thing, satay chicken and beef (the peanut suace was good so we ended up eating the sauce by itself…), two different kinds of fried rice, pad-thai, fried oatmeal prawns, and REALLY spicy green curry. I tried making Jessica drink the whole bowl. xD By then we were full, but there was dessert: ice cream with fried bananas. LOLS. We were stuffed when we were done! (Jillian commented by saying: "If you guys didn't join Track, you'd be hecka fat now!") So true.
Junior Year Ends
There’s only one more day of school left! Can you believe it?
I already finished all my Finals, so tomorrow is al for PARTAAAYYYING!!
Junior year was a stressful, depressing, nerve-wrecking, heart attack-inducing year. Yet, we all pulled through and lived to tell the tale. I’m happy we’re going to be seniors next year. Time is going by so fast (distortion of reality) and soon we’ll be going to college. But we still have this milestone (applications to colleges, waiting, rejection letters….)
I want to get into a college that I like, not just going for some crazy Ivy League schools I will never get in. Even if I did, it’s just a name I can shove into other people’s faces when they ask me which school I go to. So what? It’s more important to go for what you want to study than what you want others to think of you.
And now in the midst of this joy, I look forward to a busy summer and a hectic senior year. I’m already afraid of what’s to come.
