I'm a cow hear me moo~

Even though I had two tests and a presentation today, I had one of the best school days of my life in a while. The morning started with practice for an English presentation. The presentation went smoothly, and I was able to have lunch with a friend at the nearby food court peacefully at lunch. I spent the rest of the day studying for my math and biology test but it didn't stress me out at all. By the end of the day I had vaguely recalled being at school at all. I spent my time wandering the halls with a large pair of headphones plugged in and without my handy dandy glasses. With no sights and sounds distracting me, I had one of the most carefree days of my life.

After school I played a bit of ultimate frisbee with friends. It still amazes me how this has now become a sport. One that I actually play so often. After arriving home I took a nice long nap after a nice relaxing shower completely my ultimate day of awesomeness. When I woke up I spent the remainder of my free time watching anime and talking on MSN.

No matter how childish it may seem, I always seem to revert back to watching anime. Anime just seems to open up a whole new creative thought process that spins our world on a different axis. Things just seem so wonderful in their worlds, that it's almost captivating. No matter how often I tell myself I'm over watching anime or have outgrown it, I doubt I'll ever be able to be released from it forever. Everyone needs some sort of salvation from reality.

On MSN today I was joking around with a friend and she had asked me what I was up to. I told her I was deciding who I would fall in love with next by flipping a coin. Realizing there are more than two girls in the school I quickly scrapped the idea. After attempting to roll dice to decide, I also realized it imposed the same problem. I also had the pleasure of talking to another friend of mine today that I usually do not. She told me about how her parents constantly called her a cow. Being in the very harsh worded family I am in, cow just doesn't seem that bad. I decided to grieve for her loss of self esteem by laughing in her face, hoping for her to understand how little being called a cow really is. We then went on to "moo" each other and she was off to do homework.

The one thing I do miss a lot is my best friend. Not a lot of people know were super close because we are worlds apart. Although I do believe this difference is what makes us bond so well, it also keeps us apart tremendously. Not sharing any classes or even being in the same grade means we are unable to see each other in school as much. Her being the popular super attractive role model of the school, and me being the loner random kid, also disallows us to spend more time together. Being the awesome type of person she is, she is constantly being hounded by indecent guys, leaving me in the background. I hadn't been able to speak with her for over a month due to busy schedules, and now I miss her more than ever. Even though she has so many obligations, she is still kind hearted and is able to make time to hear me out. She's extremely down to earth and that is what makes her someone I respect and admire. I guessed I learned that everyone needs somebody, lets just hope that somebody's always there for us.

Not Knowing~

So I haven't posted anything in a long while since nothing has been happening to me. Wow such a boring life. I eventually planned something with SLo. A very reliable friend I would say if you're waiting for something to happen that is. So on that faithful Friday, our school had what was known as Mr. ACI. ACI being our school and Mr insisting that it was a man. I totally disagree that any of them are men just yet, but its basically like a talent/beauty pageant. Apparently Shawn won the pageant. He drummed and I guess that was the most talented thing our school had? I heard there was break dancing, DJ scratching, and like handcuff escaping as well, but they were just done poorly... That's ok as long as I didn't pay to watch it.

SLo and I did happen to pay to watch something though. We went to watch the Knowing, with the "not knowing", which was a friend of SLo's called Diana. She just seemed so lost that day. Diana was also the name of a very annoying character in the movie, which I kept wondering when she would die, and eventually she did but it happened really late. The Diana in the movie just wouldn't shut it. After she died both SLo and I jumped for joy and the real Diana was so flustered to realize her character was a pain in the butt.

*RANTING SPOILER ALERT* So the Knowing is an ok movie, it was a cool puzzle to solve I just would've hoped it wasn't so retarded that the answer to the riddles were FREAKIN ALIENS =.=". That is just like the most cliche ways to end a movie and tick off the audience other than making the last two hours the main characters dream... It had some really cool effects and funny moments though. Funny to me would've been when something scary was supposed to happen but instead was so lame I exploded laughing at the cheer stupidity. At one point the aliens barfed light at the main character to temporarily blind him and I couldn't stop laughing at how stupid that looked. The coolest thing of all was seeing how the aliens had wings and watching what they world would look like if it were to be destroyed by super solar flares. The winds of fire and flood of flames sure was totally awesome. *SPOILER ALERT ENDED*

After the movie we took our leave and headed towards the exit to hopefully board the subway to reach SLo's fellowship church thingy. She was super scared though because of a subway accident she had seen in a certain movie >.>. Anyways, it was that faithful day that I realized that everything looks like a Gundam to SLo. A Gundam is a fictional gigantic robot from a popular anime series. It just so happened that on that day, Brandon Flowers' suit from the music video Spaceman - The Killers, a lamp from the movie theater's lounge, and several other conveniently located objects looked like Gundams. I found much fun in learning about her train of thought because it was so completely random and somewhat amusing.

When we arrived at the fellowship, they got straight to practicing for their bubble tea night performance. They sounded pretty good and the songs were relatively well chosen. Most of the songs were not worship songs since they wanted to appeal to a wider audience I guess. Nonetheless, I am sure they'll do well since they sound so awesome. I also met one of SLo's friends that night as well. Let us call her Tinkerbell since shes so small and reminds me of a little fairy girl. I didn't get to talk to Tinkerbell since they were busy practicing all night, but I can't deny that I think she's super cool and very cute. I do hope I get to know her better in the future. Although the future is always hard to predict.

Today however, I did not have such luck to do anything special. It was pretty plain and dull. I had a nice conversation with Salina one of SLo's friends from her fellowship, and it went something like this.

Me: *said something really deep*
Salina: Omg that is so insightful
Me: Really... I'm not too sure what I just said.
Salina: That's ok we all have those "whoa moments". When we say things so insightful and complex, that a short while after, we have no recollection or understanding of what we had just said.

LOLS. That to me is something special. A whoa moment I'm guessing is somewhat like a forgotten epiphany. This short little section of our conversation totally made my day since today was one of my very off days. I did not feel happy or sad or anything at all for the matter. I just felt like I existed and that's all that it was. But I realized that we exist to have whoa moments... LOLS xD Oh gosh that is truly wonderful how friends can come up with such awesome concepts. The lesson I learned today is that, stay away from strangers because they might be light barfing aliens.

The perfect fit~

Today I saw you with a bunch of friends down the hall~
You smiled at me while I was hiding behind the big yellow wall~
The first time I met you I had known that you were the one~
The girl I would laugh with, tell jokes and laugh at puns~
You were the icing to my cupcake the chocolate chip to my cookie~
You're so beautiful I always take a second lookie~
With a warm caring personality you make my heart melt like ice cream~
Your tears pierce through me like an ultraviolet death laser beam~
To me you'll always be this world's greatest beauty~
But you just can't help but be this school's biggest cutie~
Without you there would never be a me~
You're my other half and I hope you eventually see~
I am cookie monster and you are my drug~
Your sweetness has infected me with the love bug~
It's ok if I'm a loser you're cool enough for the both of us~
So let's leave this place and catch the next bus~
I am nothing without you and I'll never be anything more~
You should be my angel so my heart can pour~
Fix my boo boos and I'll fix yours~
I'm all mushy for you like the marsh mellows in the s'mores~

First day back~

It's been one day since March break has ended. On my first day back at school, I spent most of my free time with my friends just casually talking about things that didn't matter. My classes today seemed extra long, but with my mind wondering to a far off land, time flew by faster than expected. After going through so much in the past few weeks, I have finally realized what me real values were. I care much more about badminton than I do school, and I feel much more comfortable talking to my friends that don't attend classes with me. It may just be because they now seem to all share the same type of sympathetic glare or judgmental stare, but nevertheless I must say I am very happy that I do have my friends because they always seem to make things better.

Just this morning I was deathly afraid of going to school after so long, it didn't seem like anything could calm me down. That is until I started talking to "Ella" again. Ella told me about her TC (Teens Conference) experience over the March break. This one topic really helped me to calm down and break the ice. Her pastor Tim apparently told them that the average teenage male thinks about sex - I didn't choose to learn this, it came as a shock to me as well - every 15 seconds. After he had told his own fellowship that a teenage male went up to him and told him "I think I'm above average". With that said Tim made the quick assumption that this was the only time this male had been above average for anything. This hip and young pastor was apparently extremely cool with his stories about congee and cellphones. With that said, this was one of my favourite mornings I've had in a while because it truly made me smile. Thank you Ella.

My lunch was filled with catching up with friends and lots of laughing and randomness. What started out as a mission to show off my new phone turned out to be a dud. I ended up attending a badminton meeting and rushing to pay for my Prom deposit. I eventually did get to talk to Luna and other friends of mine but Luna ended up taking my phone and playing Bejeweled. Although I must say it was quite amusing watching her play since she lost and was so hyper about it. At one point in time she was running out of life and she didn't know what to do next. Cleverly, she decided to pause the game and stare at the screen long and hard hoping for a next move. What wasn't expected was the fact that the game outsmarted her. Once you pause the game, the gems disappear and you have no vision of the playing field whatsoever. After I had bursted out laughing we all eventually had to proceed to class. After a long lunch where I just complimented SLo's phone like crazy since we had the same model, going to class just wasn't the same. The lesson I learned today is that without friends, your day can always go from bad to worst. So thanks for all the Ella's and Luna's in the world. They really make life worthwhile.

Subliminal recollection~

My thought process has always been somewhat odd. But something led me to the thought of the circus. To be specific, the topic that led me to "circus" was badminton training. It may seem random now, but once it has been explained, it may seem twice as random. So I was fooling around with my badminton racquet in my basement when I noticed my wrist started hurting after swinging it like crazy a gagillion times. That led me thinking about how I could improve my wrist strength. A friend of mine told me once that curling weights would help. At the time I could only lift like five pounds...

Then it hit me. I recall a circus act I had witnessed quite a few years ago. Two clowns went into the middle of the circle. A buff large one attempted to lift weights that were labeled 5000 pounds. Unable to lift the weights he challenged a much smaller skinnier clown to lift the weights. Being the clever clown he was, he removed the three 0's from 5000 reducing it to 5 pounds. With ease he lifted the weights away and the buff clown was stunned with amazment.

I still remember how the circus used to come to town every year. They set up their huge tent near the highway in a large lot. That lot has now become the Superstore: Lablaws. The lesson I learned today is that as the generations pass. Many great experiences will be lost. One day all the great things I had seen and done as a child will be no more. The circus coming to town will be a myth. Sure Cirque du Soleil will still be there, but what ever happened to those $5 ones I had so enjoyed as a child coming from a middle class family. Now only super rich folks will enjoy such a circus with Cirque du Soleil ticket prices topping $100.

Day of failure~

Today was my alleged day to do my homework but that quickly went to waste as soon as I finished reading the first three acts of King Lear. I was quickly distracted by a site called FailBlog.org where individuals share pictures and videos of things that are extremely fail. I consider my day LE fail, which is fail in English if you did not understand. Here is an example of something on Fail Blog that totally made my day.


Gee that's a nice toy for children.... And this one clearly shows some lack of intelligence as does everything else on the blog.


I also follow a site called SuperUseless.blogspot.com. Which is a site devoted to exposing all the completely useless super powers to the world. Here is an example from this site.

13th Bullet Bulletproof: Eventual Kevlar Skin.

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Boink.

This one always seems to make me giggle. After my web surfing I had the pleasure of catching up with a good friend of mine that had returned from TC. We talked on the phone for around an hr exchanging thoughts and stories. Although I must say it felt like such a "slo" conversation. No pun intended. I had told my friend about how my dad's check didn't go through to a travel agency. When he called them to ask for an explanation about how his $1130 check didn't submit as fully paid, they quickly responded with "But sir the payment total is $1140 not $1130. We simply thought you did not have ten dollars." Yes that was a glorious moment.

Moving on she told me about a friend of hers and her fellowship. At he friend's fellowship their bible study is called "BS" and a child of a pastor is labeled a "PK". I just found that a bit ironic like being hit by a car with the brand Dodge. She eventually had to hang up and I went on with my everyday life. Continually not doing homework I searched the web for a move/combo list for a fighting game. In the midst of all the searching something had caught my eye. It was a formula for winning.

Basic Strategy

Rule 1: Hit them a lot.

Rule 2: Don't get hit.

It was pure brilliance that I could not possibly ahve thought of. Either way that wraps up my day, and todays lesson was that the internet is definitely for more than just homework.

Mac N' Cheese~

I decided to devote the last few days of my March break to doing my homework. And since many of my friends were at an event called TC (Teens Conference), and event where a bunch of Christians gather for a full day of activities, I was pretty much alone for a couple of days. The highlight of my day was actually when I was eating my Mac N' Cheese surprisingly. Well actually with a day filled with homework it isn't such a surprise.

I also had to go to Walmart to get poster board for my chemistry summative but failed miserably because they were sold out. Walmart really punked me there since their site said they had some. After that I went to Staples and bought poster board for $12. I thought that was quite steep for cardboard put I'm guessing this paper was made from golden trees of some sort. The entire day I tried to do homework I ended up just doing the title for my project.

Other than doing homework, I had also been doing one thing. That is watching this gaming tournament called the Star Invitational. It's on this site called GOM TV and it features matches between 16 Progamer Starcraft players. I myself do not play games and usually don't watch these types of things but I recently did because the commentator Nick "Tasteless" Plotts is actually very hilarious. He's entertaining to listen to and I actually understand what he's talking about because of peer influence of the gaming world.

For instance one quote was like "There's so much cheese in this game macaroni would be proud." Now gamers understand cheese is actually referring to a tactic that is very lame and usually wins the game because it is extremely unexpected. To refer to cheese as both the tactic and the actual food is a pun. And puns are always very amusing. Haha well it made me laugh for a while. The lesson I learned for today is that being able to make Kraft Dinner can really be rewarding one day.

Baddie at Mandarin~

Today was the first time I played badminton at a club place where membership was required. At the beginning of my day I was supposed to meet up with Kat, Jas, and Vic. Due to a lack of common sense we all had to meet up at a bus stop near Kat's house. This was exactly 20 to 30 minutes of walking for Vic, Jas and I in all 3 directions. Although we could've just all met up at the actually location we all chose to meet up for an unexplained reason. I arrived a tad bit earlier than Jas and Vic because Kat secretly didn't want to be alone with another individual in the group to prevent awkward tension.

Upon meeting up with my fellow badminton buddies we began our trek towards a shady building but taking a bus that passed by all of our houses. Why did we not all just get on the bus at the stop near our houses? I am not quite sure but I do believe it involves an absence of intelligence. After getting on the bus several familiar faces appeared. Vinny (girl that I yell at for changing in the halls) boarded our vessel with a pretty friend, which I regrettably did not get the pleasure to be introduced to. Adace for some odd magical reason also boarded the same bus. This was quite shocking since Adace was the sister of a friend of mine and I had only seen her three times my entire life. They were all of course headed towards a popular Asian mall. On this faithful day I realized that Vinny didn't even know my name and she mistakenly called me John.

Vic led us to our destination and we played for four hours. The place was called Mandarin, and we played doubles Jas and I versus Kat and Vic. The scores were all pretty close and we both won equal amounts of games. I was however extremely exhausted afterwards and fell to the floor still screaming "I'M NOT TIRED! I CAN STILL PLAY!" After having lost all ability to move I still recall myself screaming "I'M NOT TIRED!"

Afterwards we went to a nearby Hot Pot place for dinner. There was this huge cylindrical screen where the video rotated. It was the coolest public television I have ever seen and I will get one in my house in the near future. The TV there played lots of Jay Chou music videos and other Chinese music videos, which made me happy. There was tons of awesome food, my soup base was borscht, and there was lots of pop. I spent a fair bit of time looking around the area for pretty girls but had no luck. Kat spent most of her time very destructively and basically wrecked havoc on our table. I also learned she's not able to break one chopstick using two hands. I laughed at my own expense and I paid dearly with mind numbing pain. When it came time to pay Vic tried to pay with his debit card for his portion, but the worst case scenario happened. It didn't go through.

Fearing that we may have had to stay behind and wash dishes I quickly went to slap Vic in the face. But realized that may lead to is imminent death so I restrained myself. We pulled together enough money to cover his portion as well in the end but it was not a moment of glory at all. I wanted to go to a cheaper place like T&T and just purchase random items for dinner but apparently I was stupid. At least I didn't suggest a place that costed the four of us $100. Cough cough Vic. We all bussed home safely but I did learn one thing today. Always go for a test run before putting your debit or credit card into action. Or else you'll look like a complete fool in front of your friends.

Missing Footage~

A fun filled day spent with some good friends Skye, Lan, and Pwner. We all have very routine things we happen to do with friends. It may be binging on food, or playing video games, looking stupid playing Rock Band, or going to the mall checking out attractive individuals. With us, we like to shoot flesh eating axe throwing zombies. That is right, we love to "plough" right through them. Your local zombies can be found in a house filled with non-living individuals. That's right we were playing House of the Dead: Overkill for the Nintendo Wii. If you still laugh when people tell you that they play with their Wii, then maybe you should grow up a little. But gosh that sure is funny.

Nontheless, we arrived at Pwner's house with hopes of binging on stale candy. Being quickly distracted by Wii Play we engaged in air hockey and billiards. A couple fluke shots after and tons of embarrassing self inflicted injuries and "self goals" we decided to embarrass ourselves further by trying to pretend to know how to drive with GT Pro Racing, also for the Wii. I had difficulties avoiding spinning in circles, while others had similar troubles avoiding going the wrong way and making a right turn.

A bag of chips and some Oreo cookies later, we find me and Skye playing House of the Dead: Overkill. A game that took us three hours of mind numbing bullet spraying zombie ploughing to complete. Sure it was totally worth it and I would've done it again if I had to because it was very satisfying. Now I know I can defend myself against mutants if the time ever came. The story line included a swearing angry black man named Isaac Washington, which was me, and Agent G a country music loving pansy, which was Skye. The cut scenes are done with a cheesy retro disco movie vibe. The story like is diversely twisted and messed up on so many levels that nothing else should be said or this blog would be rated R. Speaking of which I would like to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, because I heard it's also rated ARR =) There were many great moments in the game however. Such as "Agent G: I love you man. Isaac: Shut up. =.=".

Another very memorable moment would have been when we were about to engage in a battle against the final boss and the screen when to "Missing Footage" in a cut scene and you just see them in a following scene saying "Isaac: Man I do not know how we did it but we are still alive. It is a good thing we found these random big guns lying on the floor." Yes it was quite amusing. But I guess the lesson of the day is that when in doubt, shoot the zombie.

It's a beautiful day in my neighbourhood ... with my new cell!~

It is indeed a beautiful day in my neighbourhood.... wwwhen I bring home a NEW CELLPHONE!!!! AHHHH I am le happy... that means happy in french =) LOLS just kidding.

Let me start over again with less pep in my vocabulary. Hopefully I'll be able to collect my thoughts better. As the sun rose on this glorious day I arrived at my local Asian mall in the morning with one goal and one dream. To obtain a new cellular phone. The phone I had in mind was the exact same model as a friend of mine. We only planned to get the same phone because matching items is totally cool and hip in this day and age. It would also help me to remember who my friends were when I graduate and I cannot bring them with me. At least I'll have my phone. Plus I heard it has great reception.

Regular people get phones from their service provider thus ending up with the same phone as a gagillion other individuals. That sure makes them seem unique... But that is just a personal choice for the matter. For those that buy non provider cellphones, the regular prices range from 300 to 400 dollars. For an individual like me that usually just uses Japanese phones, the range goes all the way up to 600 to 700 dollars. The problem with me however was the dilemma of getting several cheaper phones throughout the years or have one expensive one for a couple of years. In the end I chose a $280 phone so that I wouldn't get bored with an expensive phone and feel like I had wasted my money.

The funniest thing of all though, was the fact that my good friend had to lie to her parents to buy the phone. Coning her parents by telling them a lower price then it was worth, I was forced to secretly retrieve the money from a book like a ninja and pay the seller back later. Low and behold my very intellectual friend chose to give me a two ton book the size of Godzilla's toe instead of possibly giving me a paperback. I doubt I'll ever be able to understand how she thinks, but that's what makes her special.... I guess in a positive way.

After my strenuous journey to the mall, I had a master plan with a different friend of mine. Lets call him Boy J. So Boy J wanted to bus with me to my house but we needed to get on at different stops. So with his ninja imagination the most epic plan took place. He called me the second he got on the bus and stayed on the phone with me till the precise moment he screamed "OMG MY BUS IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU HURRY UP AND GET ON IT YOU HOMO." And with that I cunningly and inconspicuously got onto the same bus as him. We arrived at my place and Boy J invited another friend of mine Boy D. We spent a merriment filled day with playing cards, video games, classroom gossip, cheap fast food, and talk of nerdy subjects. Word to the wise, friends wont always be smart but things that are the most fun are usually extremely dumb.

March break arrives~

Once upon a time, there lived a little boy.... ok maybe he was six feet but was young at heart. On his journey to the local mall he stopped to wait for the bus. Low and behold a crazy lady was walking around on the road with a baby carriage... The little boy screamed "OH DEAR GOD THAT CAN'T BE NORMAL." But then again not much was normal in such a messed up town.

It was generally a very dull day but had many highlights. A man walked up to the saleswomen where she sat comfortably in her seat overlooking all her sunglasses. With a glimpse of hope that she may have been able to make a sale, the man shot those chances down faster than George Bush was declared an idiot. He simply asked "Where's the Starbucks here?". The lady replied with a gloomy smile "Upstairs to your left." She did however have leopard framed glasses xD haha I should've bought them to make my leopard fur coat =).

I also had a thorough discussion with a friend about a mug I had seen in the Disney store that declared Mickey Mouse Happy Since 1928. With such assumptions, Mickey must've been pretty pissed off before then... All in all the mall is a fun place to go if you have money or at least some sort of purpose. If not, you'll be drawn to buy things you probably shouldn't like $13 dollars worth of chocolate from Bulk Barn. The power of sales can convince a man to spend $20 on a shirt he'd never want anyways. Lesson of the day is never go to the mall with too much money, because the more you bring the more you will spend. *Says confidently while hugging his new $45 bag bought after a "stroll" in a mall*
