Paranoias & more thoughts

Well, well. It seems that today loads have happened.
Where to start, where to start?

Lets go from the morning.
Yesterday I was eating tons of chocolates so, here I am with Colgate smeared practically all over my face - yes, I do believe in the whole toothpaste-a.k.a.-zit zapper thing. We all have a unique belief.
& okay, the fact that I stayed up till midnight wasn't helping much either.

Anywayz, guess what happened? My mother dragged me for the annual 5-months haircut!!! & her friend, A. Tina, tagged along (uninvited, I might like to add) to see me suffer.

You're probably going all, "Pfft. Just a haircut. What's up with her?" but do not laugh when you read the next sentence.
I have a fear of haircuts.

Well, okay, not a fear. More of... Self-conscious?
Childhood problems, okay?
I had this big fit when this guy came over & snipped off my hair. I was five, you can't blame me of being afraid of a guy who suddenly comes up behind you & cut off your hair.

So, it wasn't that bad. I dread when the woman washed my hair, though.
I don't like it when they wash my hair. They always just scrub your ear for you, & you'd get neck cramps.

Then, this guy just came over & told me on how this haircut would "suit me".
Right. I look like a DANG oversized KID.

Well... a younger oversized kid.
With layered hair.
Shaped like an umbrella.

Gr-reat.

So let's see the total?
Evil breakouts + umbrella haircut = ...?
Happiness?
Ha Ha.

But after my haircut, my mom & A. Tina decided to do a little shopping at BV - shoe-shopping.
So, I finished the book I last mentioned.
You know, The Earth, My Butt & other BIG round things?
I finished it.

It was quite interesting & got me thinking... Again.
That there's more to life than your "soulmate".

If I had to pick a vacation destination to represent that book, I'd say Africa.
It shows about how there are people out there going through peer pressure, & showing you how to control your life, instead of letting the others telling you what's right & what's not.
Seriously. That book just gave me a knock on the head, yelling "WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"
Definite A+ book =)

After that, went to an open house. Can't elaborate on the details there in fear of fraternal wrath (yea, I quote from Meg Cabot).
Oh, & just wanna quickly add. After that party, I totally gave up on Guy ABC.
No, for real now.
If I've liked that guy once & the feelings aren't mutual, what hope is there for me anymore?

& don't tell me stuff about faith, hope & pixie dust.
Because I have just drank 2 glasses of Iced Coffee, Colgate on my face & a stinkin' umbrella-shaped hair permanently placed on my head.

That's all for now. Ta!

Pffft,
GadgetG;o)

The better trip to Hawaii

Well, okay, not literally. Remember my previous post on how fiction is a ticket outta reality?
Yea, well I've just gotten a better ride.

The day after I had finished reading the 8th book of the Princess Diaries series, I passed by MPH & my jaw dropped when I saw the last book of another of Meg Cabot's series, Missing a.k.a. 1-800-WHERE-R-U?
At first, my mother refused to open her purse but in the end, she shelled out 30 bucks & half an hour later, I was in my room, practically devouring the book, Missing.

It perked me up, after reading the latest Meg Cabot book - meaning the After 8, I mean.
Seriously. The book was so good!!
I can't believe Jess brok-
& that she got bac-
& ROB'S SO HOT!!!!!

Haha, okay, I bet that outburst took you off course.
Sorry.

Anywayz, yea. I'm so excited!!
The only stinker here is that I can't say anything bcoz it might just ruin it for you people who enjoys reading Meg Cabot's books too (who doesn't?).
So out of the goodness of my heart, I'm going to shut up about it.

The good thing? I've gotten a little inspired so, do check any of the 3 blogs of mine - The Opposite Twins, The Teen Dillemma Story or the Egypt Affair - soon. Because you can bet that there's goin to be a new chapter there.

Somewhere.

Okay, so maybe I don't have that many inspirations - but I'm sure I can think of a few ideas pretty soon!

The Malay-translated Manga helps =)

That's all I've got to squeal for now.

Oh, & I'm currently reading a book called The Earth, My butt & other big, round things.
Very interesting book - kinda opens up about the Fat Girl Code Of Conduct.


Off&out,
GadgetG;o)

Fictional guys vs. the real world

Another thing that I know isn't the most... Relative thing to discuss, here on the Net. But, you know, it's not like alot of people know about this blog so, what the hey?

I've been thinking alot - I do this when I've got no books to read or no new TV shows to view... & also after reading a romantic book or seeing a romantic show/movie.
& this is the question that first pops up after viewing the show or reading the book :

WHY CAN'T GUYS IN LIFE BE LIKE THAT???

Or at least why can't guys my age be like that?
Seriously. Just a nice, sweet guy who does not laugh at the word 'cornfight'.

Okay... I've made a list of fictional guys who would effect the romance world by 150% - & in no particular order.

1. Michael from Princess Diaries - sweet, smart, cute, thoughtful. No, REALLY!!
2. Adam from All-American girl - same like Michael - only times 10
3. Landon from A Walk To Remember - same like Michael & Danny... BONUS = he cares. Actually, they all care. But he cares more.
4. George from Paradise Kiss - same like the above 3, times a gazillion... BONUS = creative & cares waaay more
5. Tamahome from Curious Play, OVA II - okay, you get the idea. All the guys in this list have the same characteristics...
6. Adam from The Opposite Twins (hehe) - same. BONUS = funny! Genuine humour which both genders can appreciate.
7. Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of The Caribbean - okay, he's not that sweet, thoughtful. But he's cunning & FUNNY!!!!

So... that's the most who I can think of at the moment.
Now let's check out the contestants from the real world, ehi?

1. Guy P - okay, sure. For an odd reason, he's kinda acting nice. I mean, he's actually making funny jokes like Adam from my story now.
2. Guy CBA - haha. Haha. Him?? Sweet? Yea, okay. Just as a friend. e.g. Asking how I am after confronting Aley & all. He is my therapist. He should know.
3. Ric - yea, okay. Keep gasping. I just got a last e-mail from him & it was... Well, deflated ego (by 5%. Doesn't mean he's not an egoistic guy). It was sweet.

That's all for now. I gotta go. Granny of mine on nag mode (only because her favourite soap got off the air!).

Ciao for now! PLS I beg you to comment on this post & agree with me!!!!

Vacation from reality DOWNERS

You know I always say that fantasy is a vacation from reality?
Like, reading your favourite book when your mom's nagging you on the condition of your sad, messy room?
Or watching an awesome spy flick on the telly to soothe your anger after receiving your results for your first major exam?
Or better yet, listening to My Chemical Romance's I don't love you song at a formal function of your dad's when you know no one at all except all those old people - the kind who pinches your cheeks & croon on how much you've grown?

A ticket from reality.
But lately it seems that now fantasy isn't letting us escape from the harsh Real World anytime soon.
Or maybe it's just me.

#1 = Paradise Kiss
See, yesterday, I was totally glued to the MacBook bcoz I was uploading the whole series of that anime show, Paradise Kiss.
& the ending was not at all SATISFYING.

Seriously. It STINKED. In the end, Yukari didn't go with George but married Hiro.

Hiro. Gakk!
They said that it's better to read the manga then watch the anime.

So, you know what that means.
I've got a new collection to start obsessing over.

Believe me, my witnesses (or is the word "victims" more suitable?) have suffered enough over my constant protests against the unfair & short ending - it was just hanging in mid-air.
It's what my mom called an open-ending.
Where you get to just assume what happened in the end.

I hate that. Really. Stories which just leave you sitting at the edge of your chair.
I prefer more straight-forward endings. Not stupid "& they all live happily ever after".
But after what I've been through - not in life, of course. I mean the fantasy - it's waay better.


#2 - Princess Diaries After Eight
Yes, I've got the book. I'm sorry to say this, you know, on the Internet & all but...

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?????????????????????
Maybe I'm not used to Meg Cabot's stories to just be hanging in mid-air. Sure.
Or maybe I'm more happy when the heroine gets with her dream guy.

Either way, I can't find it acceptable to just say that Mia BROKE UP with SOMEONE - a day before he LEFT FOR JAPAN FOR A WHOLE FREAKING YEAR... OR MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!! - & went with JP!
JP - the guy who hates corn in his chilli.

& the fact that she had her first bite of MEAT in her 10 years!!!!!!!
& also that she actually put her "PRECIOUS GIFT" up for MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can't leave me hanging here!!!!

I swear, when I get back to Kinokuniya, the bookstore, I'm gonna drive those salespeople until they'd have a strike of psycho-Meg Cabot fans terrorizing them or something.


This is withering my already-shrivelled up romantic of mine. Seriously.
Now I'm on Writer's Block for all three of my The Opposite Twins, The Teen Dillemma Story & most definitely The Egypt Affair.

Those sources of entertainment were supposed to inspire me! Like, Mia & Michael went for a walk in the park or another one of those Star Wars movie marathon $5 a movie thing.
Not a break-up & she left with her just-friend GUY friend!
GAKKKK!!!!!
Believe me, I'm having enough of THAT stuff on my plate in reality.

#3 - the last of the Harry Potter book
I know it's not fair to put the blame on JK Rowling just yet - the book hasn't even hit the shelves - but still. It's stressing me out that the dude's just gonna drop dead at the end - even if it's for "the greater good".
Future reminder : get 2 boxes of Kleenex by my side while I get my hands on this book.
Seriously.


There you have it. It's all off my chest now.
I feel better now - by 0.000001%

But don't think you'd heard the last from me. I'm still off to search for something that would not depress me or stress me, even.
Like I said, I've got enough of that in reality.

AGAIN she did this

Do u have those kind of friends where, you know, you like but you ALWAYS get in trouble with?
I'm not gonna claim names here, since this is the Internet, after all. Let's just call her Aley?

(PS : I'm not in a good mood with Aley so there may not be alot of positive points with her)

Yea, okay, so I have these 2 friends - Minah & Aley. & Minah's great - I mean, she always helps me out in sticky situations & cheer me up when I'm down. Way down.

Same with Aley - that's what I keept telling myself, course.
But it's just that, she keeps treating me as if I'm discardable or something. I mean, first she's nice & later she'd go all psycho-maniac on me.

Today for instance? We were talking on the phone & I was just being myself - always low on self-ego, if you must know. This is just general information.
& suddenly, she went all angry at me & went, "See, this is the thing Minah & Aley hate about you." (Yes, she did emphasise on HATE) "You always see the BAD sides of things. The darkest of life. Just like Cristina, from Grey's Anatomy."
As much as that was complimentary - yea, I'm a geek of Grey's Anatomy. Who isn't? - being called Cristina & all, I just couldn't stand that SHE was criticizing me.
Where did she stand on having the nerve to criticize me? Isn't that the elders who have the rights?

So i just kept quiet & she didn't stop for a breath. She just kept on going.
"& you know wat, you're a lousy, lazy, shit-head friend."

[beep beep]

& there, I just looked at my phone & realised that she had hung up on me after calling me a lousy, lazy, shit-head friend.

Man, is Friday my day or what?

Oh, & here's a little bonus : Aley & Minah thinks I like Guy P when I only like Guy CBA.
That really hurts me. Not that they, you know, were talking behind my back - yea, so much for the vow, guys.
Not bcoz they're making their own assumptions.

It's the fact that they don't believe me when I said I don't.
I. Don't. Like. Guy P.

I like Guy CBA.

This proves how much they know of me. I mean, they should know that I don't like TWO guys at the same time.
i mean, that's just stringing them along.
What have I ever done to deserve this?

& I can't believe how much happier I am whenever I admit it.
That I like Guy CBA.

The dude who gave me an orange for good luck as a belief in Chinese New Year. The guy who gives me a guy's-perspective in life. The guy who had never called me a shit-head friend.

Again.

Isn't it funny? They say that we learn from our mistakes?
But like my best friend, SAB, said, What is it that we learn from our mistakes when we're just gonna end up doing it again?

The "One"

I know this is totally out of the blue but it was just bugging me & I decided to jot it - or in this case, type it - all down.

The "one"

I have vowed to stop searching for the "one", seeing as I am at the mere age of [censored]. & anywayz, the boys our age aren't all that "the-one" material, if you know what I mean.

Thank God nobody knows about this blog yet. Or I wouldn't dare to write this down.

Anywayz, what I have always wanted in a guy...
Here it is:

1) Sweet (duh) - & I mean, thoughtful sweet. Even little gestures are good enough. Like remembering my birthday & giving me a card...
(Yea, that's how desperate I am)
2) Likes me back. I mean, genuinely likes me back. & not bcoz of my looks (haha) or anything
3) Funny - c'mon. Any guy who has no sense of humour at all is already out of the list.
4) Knows me. Like, really knows me. Such as... He knows that I like it when ppl surprise me or actually care when something happens. Been stabbed by a friend or whatever. Knows that I hate it when they put the cherry on top of the sundae instead of a classic choc syrup. Or give an orchid instead of a daisy.
That kind of things.

5) Most importantly...
He pass cute notes. Seriously. I know it's lame but I like it when someone talks to me. Bcoz when nobody's talkin, it feels lonely.
ESPECIALLY if he passes messages through songs.

I'd die if anyone did that. Like, if I'm goin through a hell of a school day, he/she'd start singing McFly's I'll Be OK or give a CD with that.


So.... that's it. That's what I had to say to the world.


Pathetic, I know. But it's not like I promised a birthday cake, right?
Tricked ya =P

Voila

Welcome to my NEW blog! Haha, here's a pic u can enjoy looking at. I call it The elegant, intellectual sloth

It seems that my blog has been misplaced so I have no choice but to make a new one & delete the old.
Harsh, isn't it? I mean, isn't that the world's motto?
Keep the new, throw the old?

I don't think so. But it seems like it.

Anywayz, all my memories of the 04, 05, 06 year has gone out the window. But I guess that's good. I'm kinda spooked out by my IT teacher's lecture on the whole you're not alone thing & my old blog was kinda too detailed.

My goal this year?
Get back my old friends & still keep the new ones.

I tried it today. Armand came online & I started talking with him.
He was nice... Until he asked me who I was.

Hey, I just realised something. I'm only to guys.
Where's all the girls?

Okay, never mind... I am waiting for my Korean drama. Heard of it?
Fireworks. It's quite good, you know, if you're into the whole fate&destiny love story thing.
Which I totally am.


So, there you have it! My neww blog =)

Great. Not only do I this blog to maintain, there is also the class one.
Whoopee! =P Haha, & the guys are all scared that Ash & I'd turn it too feminine.

Please. We are far from feminine.
Even if it is an origin from our gender.


That's all for now, I guess!

Ciao! =P
