It's so cheap during the summer season.
I remember back during summers when I was still a little kid, one corn cob would be a simple lunch. mum would microwave it, put a little butter on it and it would be delicious.
I can still remember the feeling of sitting on a corner of the kitchen counter, nibbling at it. By the way, I always ate it very neatly, row by row. I remember my mum standing in the kitchen, surrounded by the bright blue cupboard doors and I remember how bright our entire house seemed.
Today, for lunch I microwaved a corn cob for lunch and i suddenly got hit by this feeling of nostalgia. It was like his image, this moment, this memory, this feeling was suddenly suffocating me. So much so, that I took one bite and burst into tears.
How comical.
YAY sopntaneous crying.
I've started to realise how much of a cliche I've slowly and steadily become.

I'm so sick of it
I'm seriously so so so sick of people just.. being so god damn fake everyday.
Just.... sigh.
Like, I don't know why but lately, I've just become more and more aware of it.
and it's really starting to piss me off.
I think that's why I've really enjoyed being alone lately. I'm the best company. Lol jokes, I'm really not. But I'd rather be alone than to have to put on that voice and that smile and make that effort to not just turn around and walk away when some people open their mouths. But that hardly applies to me. When I say something, I mean it. When I don't like someone, I will either just ignore them or try not to talk to them. People can sense when I don't like them lol. Maybe I'm just too hostile..
Lol I'm being all "OMGZ I H8 FAKERZZZ" 14 year old angsty "I AM ME 4 LYF" aren't I?
I'm sorry. I'm not trying to be.
I realise that as we grow up, we have begin to act in a way which allows us to function well in everyday society. I realise that you can't just ignore everyone you hate and you can't just go round telling people what you really think of them... but...
There's a difference between being polite/civil (maybe even pleasant) and grovelling at the feet of someone whom you have no desire to associate with.
Okay, so maybe that's a bit harsh.
But my theory is, if you hate someone, or highly dislike someone to an extent that you will bitch about them behind their back constantly then maybe, just maybe, you don't act delighted to see them?
Just a suggestion.
Maybe you smile at them politely, maybe you exchange a few words but don't be like "zomg how have you been babe??"
I don't get it.
Like, there are those people that everyone discusses. "oh she's a slut" "oh she's a bitch" "I hate her" "she's not even pretty" "she's so annoying" blah blah blah but then, when they see her they're like "HEYYYYYYYY" etc etc
I'm not talking about any one person in particular, don't misunderstand.
Maybe I'm just a bitch? When I really dislike someone, I just don't go and talk to them! I don't initiate conversations with them! Why would I?
I just don't say hi to them unless I have to.
But people (and lots of people) do this!
I just don't understand it.
Yea, yea, you don't have to make enemies.
Yea, yea it's good to build social ties. But I just think that maybe, just maybe, people should stand up more for what they believe in.
If you don't like someone, consider why. Did they offend your morals? Hurt your friend? If they're people who have done things you dislike or constantly act in a way that annoys you, surely you have nothing to gain from continuing to associate with them? Surely missing someone like that from your life is no big deal? Surely people won't judge you for disliking someone?
Everyone's different. Not everyone gets along. I thought that was an established thing.
Apparently not.
People nowadays are so afraid of being disliked or judged that they swallow their pride, their conscience, their sense of righteousness, their morals. People want to be liked by everyone, they want to please everyone.
But...
So what if you have one or two people who dislike you? Seriously, does it really matter that much?
wtf is wrong with my line spacing :S

As Churchill said"you have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life" (although everyone seems to think that it belongs to Eminem. The quote, that is.)
But whoever said it, I admire them and agree with them.
But then again, is it just me? Am I just too hateful? Am I just too fixated on things? Should I just make things easier for myself?
It really freaking makes me feel sick. I can't stand it. But... majority rules?
wtf is wrong with my line spacing :S

ramble ramble ramble
I hate free iphone games
zzz... they're always tryna make you spend money....
I'm SUPER addicted to this freaking adorable game atm... but.. BOOOO I keep running out of moves! And I have to wait until the bar replenishes. Alternatively, I could BUY the moves. =___="
no thanks.
zzz
sigh.
I bit the inside of my mouth and now I have a huge open wound... yummy. lol.
and now I can't eat. Or smile.
Well I can, but I have to hold back whimpers of pain at the same time.
cool story aye?
I thought so.
Mannnn I love how around chinese new year, all the tv programs that come under the category of 'talk show' start talking about fortune telling and horoscopes and blah blah and then everyone sitting in front of the tv's tryna calulate some mystical number to see if they'll suddenly become rich this year, or if they'll have good health or if they'll fall in love or if they'll get a promotion.
But actually, this stuff is fun.
If it's bad, you ignore it... if it's good then it'll boost your spirits.
That's how I look at it anyway. lol.
so, like, lantern fest soon. I've never been! But tbh.. not THAT keen. I see all my asians in ic0 anyway. rofl.
Haven't done any baking in ages. I miss it. gonna bake one of those epic multilayered cakes before summer holidays are over. I swear to god.
Hey is this year a leap year? It is, isn't it?
Yea, I think it is.
Allan gave me skyrim.OH GOD.
Being kinda antisocial lately. It's nice. I like the peace and quiet.
lol jk I actually just have no friends.
LOL creepy/sleazy guy I met at clubbing last year in taiwan suddenly talked to me on fb chat the other day. That was fun.
God, his english is so bad. I don't know why he insists on comunicating in this way.
jeez.
I hate facebook chat.
Oh rofl I was reading my diary from 3rd form. IT'S THE FUNNIEST SHIT EVER. omg. I just sat there reading it and laughing hysterically for about an hour. Think I need to burn it. But the diary itself was a gift! and it's so pretty. and it's filled with all these nice quotes from famous women to "guide my fragile teenage girl" self. Ah those were the days.
I think I'm pretty much still the same. Which is probably a bad thing.. excpet i'm less.... aggressive. outwardly, anyway. bahahhahahaha.
I want to move to England so I can stalk british comedians.
):
I wish I could be as witty as they!
I'm having so much fun in this FTVMS paper... it's like the best paper ever.
So this is me blogging for the sake of it.
that was fun.

remember those mass convos in intermediate?
where there'd be like 20 people and everyone would be typing so goddamn fast that it'd be hard to keep up with what was going on? I had to go on msn secretly cause my mum wouldn't let me use it cause she thought it was a chatroom lol
And then high school when I had to log onto msn every night at around 8 to chat to people. hah. I had to log off by 10 or 11 back then.... haha i had all those random emoticons and animations...
I had a 'LOL' that would crush a little dancing/jumping creature!!
and then came the staying up till 12...
and then... the 4, 5, 6am appearing offline on msn thing...
and now... well sigh.
the era of msn has passed?
do intermediate kids still sign up for hotmail? download msn?
bet they all just use facebook chat..
ew.
lol.
Sigh i'm really getting old aren't I?

gonna take up flute again
BUT IT'S BEEN SO LONG! TT"
My sight reading is super rusty and so is my fingering. I think I've even forgotten how to play some of the notes.
TT sigh. To think I was once actually pretty good at this.
On another note (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) picking up my flute for the first time in years felt really great. It's so pretty and shiny. Ehehehhhehhehhehhe^^

So I guess I decided to post this rant here afterall.
So, I wanna talk about Crazy Stupid Love
the movie that is.
I know, I know, it's a movie from last year... blah blah a long time ago, why am I just writing about it now.. blah blah.
Don't blame me, I just saw it on the plane coming back from Taiwan.
well, this isn't a review of the movie.
although, it might contain spoilers so if you haven't seen it but you're planning on seeing it, don't read this.
Go find it, watch it, and then come and read this.
Oh and this is really long so... errrrmmm, yea.
If you have the urge to comment with tldr please DONT. please. I'm asking nicely. I know my mentioning this is just asking for it. But seriously. PLEASE. You can just not comment or not read it or both! I don't know why I'm so insistent about this, this time... I normally don't even care... but I'm just in this kinda mood.
So..... onegaishimasu! -bows-
What I really wanna talk about, is love, true love, 'the one', destiny, and all that stuff.
well, not really.
I think I wanna talk about faithfulness in a relationship
well I think I wanna talk about how sexist society is
actually,
I think I just wanna complain about a some of the characters, situations and themes presented and portrayed in this movie. And how the more I thought about them, the more annoyed I got.
Lol.
Don't get me wrong, I actually liked the movie. I enjoyed watching it. If it came on, on TV, I'd sit down and watch it if I had nothing else to do. It was pretty cute in some parts, it had some good humour, funny situations, good lines, reasonable character development, likeable characters(even though they were kind of like typical stock characters, ie. Ryan Gosling's character: the hot, smooth rich womanizer who is actually lonely and damaged), it was a bit predictable but let's face it, which romantic comedy isn't?
Oh and another thing I have to mention (and i apologize for this in advance)
RYAN GOSLING'S ABS. WTF. Ahem. I'm not ususally the type to be all like "OMFG LOOK AT THAT TOTALLY HOT GUY AND HIS ABS OMFG" -squeal- -giggle- but like, wtf man. it was like
I actually used a meme. oh god.
aaaaaaaanyway, not to get sidetracked, the movie is basically about a middle aged man called Cal (played by Steve Carell) who married his high school sweetheart but all the spark has gone out of their marriage (god, that was a badly constructed sentence).
So one day out of the blue, his wife (whose name is Emily) tells him she slept with someone else and that she wants a divorce. So they get divorced and Cal meets Jacob (Ryan Gosling) who teaches him how to pick up chicks.
simple. And so the plot develops from there. Oh, this is one of those movies with the seemingly seperate plotlines that are all eventually interwoven. But that's irrelevant to me (for the sake of this post)
So one thing that pissed me off about this movie was how the wife acted.
Seriously! She was the one who cheated on him in the first place!
what right does she have to get all pissed off when she finds out that he slept with other women?
they weren't even married anymore!
And okay, so she regretted her actions, was sorry, etc BUT HER EXCUSE WAS THAT SHE WAS GOING THROUGH A MID-LIFE CRISIS? Jeez.What a bitch.
Furthermore, she didn't even try to do anything to FIX their marriage! What, she felt guilty? Confused? Miserable? Unsure of how to express herself? Felt that she had no right to say or do anything? It wasn't "Oh I feel terrible, I miss my husband, maybe I should try to fix things. it was OH HE'S SLEEPING WITH OTHER WOMEN! I HAVE ALL THIS ANGER AND PRIDE (which she should totally not have considering she was the one who betrayed her husband) I'M GOING TO DATE THE GUY I CHEATED ON MY HUSBAND WITH, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T REALLY WANT TO."
has it occurred to her that maybe he was just doing all this because he's miserable without you?
She was pretty much just self righteous and self-pitying.
And SELFISH.
SO like, near the end of the film Cal was all like "I should have fought for you blah blah" or something to that effect.
WHY? Why did he have to do it while she did nothing?
because he's the male? he has to chase the girl? to win her back? to keep the romance alive in their marriage? That's so sexist!
I don't have that much experience in relationships, but I'm pretty sure it's a two way thing.
The movie characterizes Cal as this really romantic guy who believes in true love etc. So it can basically be read as him being more emotionally invested in the relationship so he has to be the one to fix it, no matter who was at fault. It's condemning people who are like him! Basically saying "weeeeellllllllllll it can't be helped that this is your disposition, you only have yourself to blame"
Last thing (i think) is the whole part after the climax and before the resolution. So basically the part leading up to the resolution when Cal is alone, isolated, sad and everyone's pissed off at him. Why????
why?? why???? He didn't deserve any of that! Why did he deserve to be punished?
They made it seem like he was just being stubborn! And that it was his own fault that things turned out the way they did! If only he hadn't agreed to the divorce that his wife wanted! Of course it's his responsibility to fight for their marriage! =="
Yes, I know it's just a movie. There's no need to be patronizing.
BUT STILL.
There are people like this! This world is huge and whatever can be imagined can and probably does exist and happen.
Also, this movie is MAKING LIGHT OF BEING UNFAITHFUL IN A MARRIAGE! It's like they're saying "Oh don't worry! If your husband loves you enough, he'll forgive you!'
WELL HE SHOULDN'T. Unless you work really really hard to rebuild your marriage (and even then, I'm not so sure but that's just my personal opinion) WHICH EMILY CERTAINLY DIDN'T DO.
And another problem with this movie is that all the girls who watch it will be like "AWWWW SO THAT'S WHAT TRUE LOVE IS LIKE! HE'LL LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND HE'LL ALWAYS FORGIVE YOU AND TRY TO WIN YOU BACK"
..........................................................................
no. just no.
Lol after writing all this, maybe i don't like the movie that much. lol.
but.
My point was my disapproval of people's attitudes I'm not just getting worked up over some silly movie.
sigh
Maybe I just think too much.
_
the movie that is.
I know, I know, it's a movie from last year... blah blah a long time ago, why am I just writing about it now.. blah blah.
Don't blame me, I just saw it on the plane coming back from Taiwan.

And another problem with this movie is that all the girls who watch it will be like "AWWWW SO THAT'S WHAT TRUE LOVE IS LIKE! HE'LL LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND HE'LL ALWAYS FORGIVE YOU AND TRY TO WIN YOU BACK"
..........................................................................
no. just no.
Lol after writing all this, maybe i don't like the movie that much. lol.
but.
My point was my disapproval of people's attitudes I'm not just getting worked up over some silly movie.
sigh
Maybe I just think too much.

I wish my attention span wasn't so short
this has nothing to do with the title of the post actually...
but
honestly having more than one blog confuses me.
I can't make up my mind which blog to post on.
I keep tryna decide where to post a rant that I've typed up..
It's long enough for a full length post so i suppose i should post it on my other blog
but then I also think it might be a little too incoherent and whatnot.
zzz
on another note, jeez auckland city library! get your shit together. The classical fiction section is abysmal.
It doesn't even seem like a real library.
I wish auckland city council would spend some money on revamping the library.
Omg i wish the library could be completely rebuilt and remodelled to be similar to the art gallery.
sigh.
i guess we just dont have a need for it.
like.. we probably don't even have that many books.
And there aren't enough seats for people to go and sit in the library to read.
auckland uni library is better than the city library!! =___="
it shouldnt be like that!
sigh.
oh btw i have a new blog that i'm going to try post proper, full length posts on.
errrrmmmm but i'll keep this blog for the sake of emo oneliners and the like.
lol.
kbai
oh wait one last thing
Chon if you're reading this: HOW DID YOU FIND MY OTHER BLOG SO QUICKLY?

So, like, I still have the urge to blog
But I still have nothing to say.
Well I do, but it's not worth sharing.
But anyway.
on account of my having nothing to say,
here's a photo of me that I really like:
Look! I'm playing with a dog!
It's a photo from our trip to Piha back in November. I forgot to upload the photos at the time and now I cbf...
But yes, I like this photo cause you can't see my face.
lol.
jokes.
kinda.
I like candid photos. But I ususally never look nice in them.
This one was convenient though, cause, like I said, you can't see my face. Therefore, the chances of my looking completely ridiculous are pretty low.
I also like my hair colour.
lol.
ahh vanity.
Aiya. I'm supposed to be working on a blog entry for my ftvms course.
So, naturally, I'm blogging here.

I think I'm losing my touch.
Or maybe it's because I never think about my posts anymore.. I never plan to write anything =/ I just jot random stuff down. I just post one liners. Damn twitter. And tumblr. They've made me lazy I think.
Maybe it's time to stop. I mean, I've been blogging long enough. Since the end of year 9.
I never feel the urge to write anything or actually have anything to write about anymore. Also, I think I might be sick of my emo posts....
Sigh. Maybe I'll take a break from this...

Happy new year (:
I hope that in 2011 you found what you were looking for. And if you didn't, hope 2011 brought you closer to it.
Maybe you'll even find it in 2012.
As for me, I'm still looking for something to look for. Hopefully I'll find it in 2012 ^^
And then I finally find it and the the world blows up and we all die =/
with my luck... It may very well happen ==
Lolz.
Love.
