Arafes DVD

Ok, I haven't seen all the Arashi Concert DVD's. But the most recent one, Arafes DVD, has got to be the best one (or at least my favorite) so far. It is just amazing. With some of my favorite songs along with some that I don't even recognize, it's quite wonderful. I wish they put in Hip Hop Boogie (Sho's solo-instead of TABOO-don't hate on me, but TABOO in my opinion is just Ok) and my sister wanted to see Niji (Nino's solo-I agree, although Gimmick game was good too). I also wanted to see Believe because I haven't seen it in a while.

It was wonderful.

Go watch it if you can!!!!

No more HnA. *sobs* T.T

Man, I'm really sad. I just found out that HnA is going to end soon. For those who don't know what that is, it's Himitsu no Arashi chan. An awesome show. I was doubly sad when AnS (Arashi no Shukudai kun) ended and was replaced with Arashi no Shiyagare kun. Which is ok, but not as interesting and lovable as Shukudai kun. I could always rewatch those episodes, but I find Shiyagare episodes a little boring at times (I did like when Kanjani 8 came on, now that was Hilarious).

Anyhoo, I really miss when Arashi was all together, they are at their best. But since their schedules are super busy it's hard to film together. And I also miss location shootings where they went to various places and did things.

I know Arashi is getting a bit more distant from each other because they all have their own individual projects and it just hurts my heart to see them like this. I know they are uber busy and exhausted, but I miss them so much.

I've never been the fan girl who envision marriage or what not. My love for them is not like that at all. I'm realistic in this way. The age difference is wayyyy too much, they are all near 30 or over it. I'm just a college student, a freshman as well. I love them because they are my light. When bad things happen or sad things happen they are just that light. An old episode of theirs will make me forget about my troubles and just make me smile or laugh. They are a fantastic distraction and strength.

Aiba's best advice, "I don't smile because I'm happy, I smile so that good things will come to me." And that is just so deep, you know. BTW, that wasn't verbatim.

Oh course I think they are adorable (adorkable), handsome, squeal-worthy, not to mention swoon-worthy. But I think they are just pure happiness on a stick. Anyone who is depressed or anything of that sort should look into Arashi- goodness. Happy songs and cheerful smiles are just uber welcoming and not just for girls, guys I'm sure can enjoy their awesomenss. I know that there are fanboys out there!!

Someone (an ex-friend) said that their songs are too happy and I was like Wah? And that's a bad thing? I know sometimes people who are overly happy can be annoying, but I don't care what others say. I need that extra shot of happiness in my life.

Just proclaiming my love for Arashi, which I tend to do a lot. I hate that I scare off people with my over zealousness. I try to convert them I guess, but it's a bit off putting I know. I can't help it, once I get going it's hard to stop. I want to show everyone why I love them. But I understand being forced into liking something does the opposite, it makes them hate it. So I'll try to tone it down in the future, but I can't help it!!!!

Rainbow goodness. I can relate pretty much anything to Arashi. Just about anything in life can remind me of  a moment from one of their shows or just a color can do that too. Yup, I'm crazy obsessed, but not like super hardcore like some people. Please enjoy this wonderfully awesome picture for AU phones. Man, makes me want one just because they advertise it with Arashi. But I really love my Nokia Lumia 900. Can't believe when I got it, a few months later the 920 came out. Man, that is really irritating, but oh wells. I needed a phone for college.

Ahh, my childhood!

So, it's the infamous finals week. I only have 2 finals, but I need to do really well if I want to get like an A- because I'm in B territory right now. I screwed up on my Nutrition Test on Friday, so that means I'm going to get like a B for that class. Sad face.

So I should be studying for World Civilizations, but it's a drag and really boring. I was up late last night until 3 am watching The Ring (double shudder-not that I was really watching, more like I was hiding under a blanket and occasionally peeking at the movie) and Men in Black 3 (although I haven't seen the first or second one, which I should go watch soon).

Also, sidenote. Why is it that a lot of scary movies have a Japanese version? Like those are really scary! Meh, I hate scary movies, but my friends love them and I want to hang out with my friends, so I stupidly go and "watch." I'm still scarred severely even when I'm not watching.

SO anyway, I suggested we should watch Mulan and of course my guy friends shoot me down like as soon as I said it, so even though I just watched it, I feel like watching it right now. Even though I have a final tomorrow and I've barely studied. I'll skim watch it, but still I know I'm being a bad student here.

I've been binge watching Disney Movies like Tarzan, the Lion King, Mulan, etc. I just felt like in a Disney mood recently.

 So Aiba Bye Bye!!!!! It's almost his birthday!! Dec 24th. Also, Happy belated 32nd Birthday Ohno Satoshi!!!! 

Fall Shows that I watch (that suck up my time)

I haven't posted anything in a while because I've been quite busy-college does that to you. So I have so many shows that I watch, which is bad because I watch them instead of doing my HW. Anyhoo, check out these shows.

1. How I met Your Mother (new season)
This season has been pretty decent, since it might be the last or second to last season, we are getting to see a lot more details. My friend recently got into HIMYM, so YAY.
2. The Big Bang Theory (new season)
Pretty good so far, Love Sheldon and Amy.
3. Hart of Dixie (NS)
It's not as good as the 1st season, but it's ok so far.
4. The Mindy Project
Decently interesting, enough to keep me watching it anyways, though I'm easily amused I guess.
5. New Girl (NS)
Love Schmit, not as funny as the 1st season, but it's still got great moments too. Hoping for Nick and Jess to just get together already.
6. The Voice (NS)
I liked the Battle rounds and auditions, but knockouts and live rounds are pretty boring. I dunno, maybe it's the song choices, but it gets pretty boring to watch. Same thing happened last season for me as well. I liked it up to the battle rounds and then....
7. The X Factor (NS)
I actually like some of the performances better here, overdone with all the extra things like too loud music and flashy BG's though. Rooting for either Emblem 3, that girl group, or Carly Rose Soneclair (??)
8. Go On
Hmm... It's amusing enough I guess.
9. Arrow
It's really good, it caught my attention and it's just really addicting. Watch it.
10. Beauty and the Beast
OMG, CW is doing an awesome job with these two shows. They are both really interesting and addicting. Can't wait for the next episode to come out. Watch it. I like the more action mixed with romance shows.
11. Guys with Kids
It's eh.
12. The Next Iron Chef
I love it, 'nuff said.
13. Last Man Standing (NS)
Eh, don't like the actress switch up. Not as interesting. Eve and Mandy are still funny though.
14. Suburgatory (NS)
More boring than last season. (seeing a trend here?)
15. Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23 (NS)
Decently interesting.
16. The New Normal
Hmm, it's ok. Love Justin Bartha (National Treasure-Riley was my fav. character). The little girl, Shenia (??) she's very strange. hmm....
17. Glee (NS)
I actually like this season. I like some of the new characters and the song selections have been relatively good. Love Rachel's new love interest-so cute.
18. Revolution
Really interesting concept.

As you can see I watch a lot of shows.

College is stressful. Need to do better. This is definitely one of the reasons my grades have been less than stellar.

College isn't that Bad

College isn't that bad when you make friends. Though I still haven't mastered the art of friendmaking, since I have sort of been leaching off my old friends by making friends with their friends.I find it hard to meet people by myself. I dunno why.

Haven't gone to a party and will most likely never go to one. Maybe one, just to see the pure senseless of it. Though seeing people in a drunken stupor doesn't exactly scream my ideal Saturday night, I've never actually seen a drunken person before. Though I'm sure the sight isn't exactly pretty.

I've sort of learned how to play pool, but I'm so bad at it. I'm really bad at math (angles) and never took physics, so that could be partly why I suck so bad.

So much HW to do. I have so much reading just piling up, literally sometimes.

Plus it's hard to be healthy here. There is way too much starch on carbs on carbs. Pizza, potatoes, pasta, etc. The only seemingly healthy thing is salads, but I hate eating them. Their vegetarian options are for ex: deep fried eggplant bites..... for real? That is not exactly my idea of healthy.

Also people at this school really don't dress up. A lot of people wear sweats or a shirt with the school's name o it. Esp. on the weekend. I feel like a sore thumb or a freakshow because when I put together a nice outfit, which really doesn't take that long, it seems like I tried super hard, but I just put on some clothes. Since I don't wear makeup, it's pretty much the same as if I put on a school t-shirt and some sweats. I would never roll out of bed with just my PJ's. That is just ....

Well it's only been the second week of school, so yup...

Lesson learned, friends make college better.

At College

Yup... Here I am (somewhere, use your imagination of a typical American University). I'm pretty unsociable and not very good at making friends. So epic fail on my part. I'm just horrible at connecting with people and after some very awkward small talk (like what is your major or where are you from) I don't know what to do after that.

I have some old friends here, but I really want to make new ones. (sad face). I'm going to watch some Arashi videos tomorrow to pump myself up. I haven't laughed in like a week, maybe that's why I'm a bit unapproachable now. People can sense my "dark" aura. I guess I seem bored a lot of the time, which I can be.

College textbooks are so dang expensive. The prices are insane. Yup. That's all.

Off to College in a Week (fine 9 days)

I'm not sure if I'm excited or not. I sort of just want to get away from my house because my parents constantly nag me (don't all parents do?). But I'm nervous of what is to come. I think the biggest thing is besides academics and making friends is living at school. Plus eww communal showers, I really don't want to wear flip flops in the shower, but don't want any nasty diseases or what not. I have had 3 roommate changes and you'd think I get over the shock of a new email saying, "Hey, I'm your new roomie."

Got a Toshiba Satellite... The sound is good which was very important to me because I like listening to music on my PC and my laptop will double as a TV/entertainment system for me. I just dislike the keyboard, it feels very flimsy and I like keyboards that are very crisp. Sometimes when I type fast some letters won't show up because I guess it didn't register, I dunno. I just don't really like the feel of it.

Glarg.

Also my sister is getting her wisdom teeth pulled out today, not all 4 just 2. That sucks for her. I already felt the pain and it SUCKS. I could only eat oatmeal and ice-cream. The painkillers that they give you don't work. And the needle they stick into your gums hurts the most. Now I have to go hold her hand while they rip them out of her. It's going to be bloody as my mom told me mines was. Sigh.

Got a Haircut

I got a haircut. Trying out side bangs and now its shoulder length. I have really fine hair, so the hairdresser gave me really choppy layers which I believe will grow out really weird and I wanted the side bangs to be chin length, so I could tuck it behind my ears but she cut it above my ears which is really annoying. Oh well. It's a decent haircut and I was in dire need of one.

Scratch that: I hate this haircut. I asked the lady to make sure the layers weren't choppy and guess what: they are really choppy. My sister says my hair looks like its from an anime. Arg.

New Phone Finally and Happy Fourth of July!!!!

Yay!! I got a new phone today, finally after having the same one for 5 years. I had a flip phone by Nokia and since I'm going off to college in like 2 months (less than that actually), I need a new phone so I can keep in touch with my family and friends. So yay, my first smartphone. People (like my mom) were like just get an iphone, but I have an itouch, so I don't see the point in getting an iphone because they are very similar. Plus, the interface gets boring. So I was researching and stumbled across the Nokia Lumia 900, and after that I was hooked. I think the clincher for me was that it came in this brilliant color: cyan (it's a really bright blue). I hate just black and white phones or gray and I know that you can get a case, but I dunno it's just not the same to me.

So it's pretty awesome so far, the sucky thing is that I got the $20 data plan which is like 300 mb which equates to nothing pretty much which is such a ripoff, it should be like $5. So really worried anything I may download like apps will use data and cost extra. Glarg, this sucks. Oh well, love the new phone.

So my sister got a black HTC One X and it seems pretty cool as well, but so complicated. I am technological clumsy and inept, so I like how the windows phone is relatively simple to use. So if you are thinking of getting a smartphone give the Nokia Lumia 900 a whirl it's pretty cool.

Wuthering Heights

So I had to pick a book for my independent reading research paper/ oral presentation and I picked Wuthering Heights because I've never read it before and it's a classic and I thought I should read it before graduating high school. I heard from my sister that the characters are super unlikable and the book can get a bit depressing, so I was going in with the mindset that I would totally hate the book.

Well I wasn't very fond of the first volume which is the more well known and often portrayed in films because I kind of hate Heathcliff and Catherine (the 1st one). They are so evil, selfish, and snotty. Even as grown adults they are still selfish and child like, so I just can't like them. People say that their love is so tragic and romantic and what not. But I mean Catherine was picking money over love. She literally said that she cared about the short term consequences of her marriage to Linton even when Nelly warned her. Like, seriously? And she died from I guess a fit of some short? Like the ultimate temper tantrum killed her?

I actually liked Cathy Linton and Hareton Earshaw's story better. I hated kid Linton. What a brat. Hareton is definitely my favorite character. He tried his best to teach himself how to read and write to impress Cathy and he tried to be a gentleman in her presence though he grew up a boor though it wasn't really his fault. But Cathy can be quite cruel and mean to him which I didn't like at all. But I'm happy they got together in the end.

Another thing that was really annoying to me besides WAY TOO MUCH DRAMA. Is that the kid's names are Linton and Catherine (aka Cathy). Really? It gets even more confusing this way. Also that's kind of gross because they are all like 1st cousins. Yeesh. Some real wicked mutations going to be swimming in that gene pool.

Well the book wasn't that bad it was actually quite good. Now I have a research paper due in like a day and I just finished the book. Now I got to get articles and write a research paper with Noodlebib and think of some kind of presentation. Super stressed though totally still procrastinating.

Banged my leg twice now have bruise. In purple stage.

Also I don't have summer clothes, I'm more of a winter prepared person. Even though I hate the cold (at least you can warm yourself up). I literally melt in the heat. I'm one of those people who get super red in the face really fast as soon as it gets a bit warm. It looks like I am severely dehydrated or something like that. So I only have like these super tight jean knee length pants that hurt when wearing. I believe if I wear them to often I may never have children. Jk. But seriously they hurt when wearing. Might just wear long pants and suffer the heat wave. Though it is becoming relatively cooler over the past few days to high 70's rather than 80's.

Also bought this pak from a dorm thing my college sent to me. The quality for some of this stuff really sucks. My mom thinks its fine while I am seriously disappointed because I begged her to get them and I hate them. Oh well if I get them dirty I don't care.

I want the Nokia Lumia 900 in Cyan. So cool. I have an itouch and ipod classic, so I don't need an iphone because its pretty much the same thing. BORING. I just want a simple, pretty phone that works well. And that's what the Lumia 900 is. Love love love love it. I want to get it.

Watching scary movies during classes. Like I am Legend and Blood Diamond. I hate guns and violence. I like happy cartoons or sappy romcons or funny films or action films that aren't scary. Easily scared person. Spiderman is scary because of the Green Goblin. Yup.

Staying Home

I am skipping school (with the permission of my mom) tomorrow for the 1st time. Good reasons though, not arbitrary at all. 1. It is AP week and we are literally not doing anything in any of my classes, so being there feels like a total waste of my time. 2. I have an AP Tuesday that I really haven't studied for, so I need to go study for that. 3. My academic adviser is calling tomorrow to help me create my schedule, so I want to be totally focused for that.

But this is my 1st time not going to school and I feel a bit nervous!! I mean I'm a senior, but I've never cut school or class ever. Not going back to class after an AP is legitimate and not cutting. But still worried on the off chance I might miss something!!

Also there is a fly somewhere in my room and I can not find it (it just disappeared!) Going to have trouble going to sleep knowing its in here with me. EWW!

Also a lot of my shows are getting canceled which sucks. Ex: Are you there, Chelsea?, GCB (it is just starting to get good), Best Friends Forever (eh, it's okay), etc. Sad face. I think I hate my Teenage Daughter is getting canceled as well after they finish showing the rest of the episodes in the summer. I know they aren't the best shows, but they aren't that bad. Sigh. Also so many season finales, now there is nothing to watch.

Oh well, swamped with final quarter projects and presentations (which I hate!!).

Sigh.

Legend of Korra. Yippee!!

One more thing (uncle from Jackie Chan Adventures anyone?) I love Legend of Korra. The backgrounds are so gorgeous. I am simply in love with it. I loved Avatar the last Airbender, but this stuff is pretty good too. I am totally for Makorra. Asami is nice and pretty, but Mako totally belongs to Korra, he just doesn't know it yet!! Can't wait for more episodes. Amon, totally freaks me out. I love probending. And I can't wait to see more development and I want to see some real Avatar action soon and maybe some airbending. You know what I'm talking about, Avatar state and what not. All the spirtual things that Korra just can't seem to pull off the way Aang could, well he was a monk though. 

I am unexpectedly good at shuffleboard and a spew of all my troubles and thoughts (sorry I warned you beforehand)

Maybe this was just a one time thing, but I am unexpectedly good at shuffleboard. Not OMG prodigy or anything, but pretty decent. I have to say I attribute my success to watching VS Arashi, where they have this shuffleboard game and also to Spongebob. They used to have this game on Nick, not sure if it's still there or not, but it was like a shuffleboard game. Yup.

When I was playing this in gym, I felt like I was an old person on a cruise ship (stereotype). Sorry if I offended anyone on that, I mean do they even have shuffleboard on cruise ships? Ironically whilst on this topic, my grandparents just came back from a cruise to the Caribbean.

Going off to college soon. Freaking out, yet excited. I want to get out of high school like right now. I kind of finally understand what everyone else has been feeling. You know how people say junior year is your hardest? Well, that is sort of true due to all the AP's and SAT's and starting to research college and stuff and keeping your grades up. But I think Senior year is your hardest because you have to write your college essays, get all the paperwork done, fill out financial aid (which is so long), get your recommendations, visit colleges, research them some more, wait for the acceptances and rejections (cry!!), and then when you finally get in somewhere you're just kind of just stuck in high school.

I am not going to prom. I kind of want to go just for the experience, but tickets are so expensive and also I'm not a dance kind of person. So I would just go and eat and awkwardly be on the sidelines. No thanks. I am planning to do something much productive and fun.

                                                                  Such a funny commercial

Sad news: I am "fighting" with my friend. Apparently she heard from someone that I was badmouthing her, but I wasn't ! Actually we were all sitting at the same lunch table and I happened to say her name a few times while I was talking to my other friend. And I was only using her as an example and this other person there just told her I badmouthed her when I didn't. So I emailed her to explain myself, not apologize, just to explain and guess what: no reply. Nada! Rude much?

So we haven't spoken for like a month, but we still sit next to each other at lunch, but we just ignore each other and it is horrible! I am told that she is not mad at me, but doesn't want to talk to me. Aren't those the words of unreasonable people? And doesn't that mean she is mad at me? Well now I am mad at her for being so unreasonable. Everyone keeps telling me to be the bigger person and apologize. But I did nothing wrong. I just can't be this mythical bigger person because I feel like I would be doing an injustice to myself and not to mention said friend because she can't just keep doing this to people throughout her whole life, right?

If I had truly wronged her, I would have no qualms about apologizing because then there would be a legit  reason, but I seriously did nothing. And it makes no sense to give into, not going to mince words here, -------- (all the things that I want to say, but won't). I mean she does this to her mom all the time (ice her out to get her way) But, she can't always get everything that she wants, and if we can't be friends anymore, so be it, but I would like to give her a lesson that maybe she could learn from, but I seriously doubt she will. This "fight" probably hurts me way more than her. I have been forced to go to the library pretty much everyday as soon as I scarf my lunch down because I can't stand sitting there next to her or across from her. I mean she was one of my closest friends, but she does this way too often, and I am hurting pretty bad now. Though blogging about it and just writing down all the feelings that I have held inside kind of lightens the load.

And I think I have finally come to terms with it. Before I was super uber sad about it, and it would just literally haunt me before I went to sleep, but I believe I have come to terms with it. I can't change someone for who they are and I can't give up my principles on this one, she just doesn't deserve an apology.

I recently read this article on Yahoo where Michelle Obama said something about friendships. "Friendships shouldn't hurt, right? And when they do, you move on from them. You don't stay in relationships or friendships that don't make you feel good." And I think that was the clincher for me. I don't feel good about this friendship anymore, and I really question is it worth saving?

Random, I know

I have had very unsuccessful friendships in the past, and even now I consider myself to not be the best friend ever because I'm not really friendly nor do I really have dynamic conversations anymore. I just seem to have run out of things to talk about. I can literally only talk about school and make awkward small talk. I used to make fun of people who would have those conversations with me, but I turned into one of them. My Goddess, when did I become such a bore? I don't know. I just did. Sigh. I seriously need hobbies, I don't have any. Very sad.

 I wish I was more interesting and a better friend, but sadly I'm not. I am totally going to work on that in college though. Actually a lot of my friends are going to the same college which actually kind of sucks, though it's still nice to not be totally alone, but I kind of wanted to radically change, but if they are there I feel like I can't because they would be like, "Hey who are you?" Instead I vow to be a better person in general and more outgoing and work on public speaking and such. Learn to be a leader and what not.

I've always been afraid to change because I am literally so invisible that I thought I would just be forgotten if I changed, but I already am pretty invisible. Once my teacher kept marking me absent because she didn't notice me until like the 3rd day of school and asked me if I was in the wrong class. Embarrassing!! But I'm ready to live for real now. I'm scared of so much and I'm afraid to put myself out there. I've never done anything or go anywhere by myself. But aren't we all? Well, I have to be more independent and get over my fears. Sorry for the really long post, but I've held in a lot, and I just wanted to get it out. There are those days you cry yourself  to sleep because you can't say a word of it to anyone because your afraid you will break down and cry. But I just watch my Arashi videos and laugh and smile.

Aiba said something that really struck a chord for me. He said he doesn't smile because things are enjoyable, he always smiles so that something enjoyable will come his way. That is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard. It was just so touching, and I will definitely take his advice.

It's been really cold lately and it's almost May. AP's in a week and I haven't started studying. Face palm. FYI, I added random things just to break up all the writing. Sorry about that.

Hunger Games

Just watched the Hunger Games. It was hmmm. Okay. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't super awesome either. The whole time I felt like something was missing, besides some of the plot, which is inevitable. I had to bring my brother and his friend along with my sisters, and the movie is PG-13 for a reason, they were giggling and talking the whole entire time whilst munching popcorn really loudly! So annoying.

The movie had a few really good moments, but it was very rushed. The characters didn't have enough time to develop, and Gale literally had maybe 10 min. screen time. Josh Hutcherson was actually a pretty good Peeta and Jennifer Lawerence was a pretty good Katniss, but the movie felt a bit empty. It was missing the small details that gave it life, life Katniss' love for the lamb stew, the girl without the tongue, the mutated dogs with the dead tributes, the bread from District 11, etc. That I believe would have made it a bit better. Also I didn't hear many songs in the movie, like the Taylor Swift one. I really liked the training scenes though, the girl who threw the knives was pretty awesome, and Peeta's camoflauge was so realistic-freaky!

Rejection Hurts

Just found out I got rejected from 3 schools today, I really wanted to go to them. But my SAT scores were eh and my GPA is eh in comparisons to their averages. So sad. I know I am definitely getting rejected from my last 2 schools because they are super selective. So depressed right now. Gosh, I wish I hadn't applied to 5 safetys, and had more targets. Too late for that now.

Legend of Korra

I am so totally stoked for it to come out, April 14th. I loved Avatar: The last Airbender. It was amazing. Not anime, but better than other cartoons. At times it was a bit oriented towards kids, but it had such a powerful, dark, and serious theme behind it, it needed the lightheartedness. My favorite things have to be the bending, it was so beautiful animated, so great it was based off real martial arts moves. I even went to see the live action movie. It sucked. The only good thing was the CGI bending, that was cool. The cast didn't fit at all, and the acting was eh.

I actually saw the 1st episode, something about it being leaked or what not. It was pretty good, a lot of action. Very excited for what is to come. I like that she (Korra) already knows 3 elements. Katara looks just like Gran Gran, and Tenzen's kids are so funny. They all dress like Aang did. Can't imagine Aang as an old dude. Love the polar bear dog, so cute. Can't wait to see pro tournament bending.

Celine Dion=My childhood!!

Man, just listening to some Celine Dion songs on YouTube. I grew up on her (along with Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears). I miss this kind of music. The easy listening kind of music. No frills and techno or synthesizer or auto tune. Just pure talent and a great song. Such a powerful voice. Some people say she doesn't have a warmth to her voice (and maybe that can be true sometimes), but her voice is amazing (you've got to admit that). I mean for all those talent shows everyone does "My heart will go on" or "I will always love you." I miss these beautiful love song ballads.

Not the bubblegum pop songs that are repetitive or shallow as a kiddy pool. No offense, she's an awesome person, but Taylor Swift songs get really tiring sometimes. Can't she write about anything else besides love and boys? Those songs are fine, but she says it's songs that girls can relate to, but girls go through more that that. I mean seriously, songs like "Baby" (Hullo, the name?) I admit it's catchy (in a horrible way), and Justin Bieber does have a good voice, but can't he sing better songs? All those talent/singing shows have judges who say that the contestants have to understand the meanings behind the songs and convey the feelings behind the songs, but if it's a super shallow song, what is there to convey?

Also just wanted to update: addicted to this show, Make it or Break it. It's so awesome (a total emotional roller coaster because of all the drama). It's a little too dramatic, and I hate Lauren (such a conniving girl), and they all have their flaws as well that can really irritate me, but it's addicting nether less. Watched the 1st season in like 3-4 days. Yes, I should be doing my HW, but I can't help it. People keep asking me it must be great being a second semester senior, but there really isn't much a difference to me. I don't party, cut class, or any of that stuff. I just procrastinate a bit more, but still get things done. And I try not to stress out as much, but I'm still working hard!! I mean if you slack now, what are you going to do in college? It's going to be 10x harder and different, so it's like running uphill, if you stop halfway you'll slip down. You have to keep running to reach the top. It's the law of physics, gravity will win in the end. I'm just going to keep steam rolling forward. Aiming for straight A+'s this quarter (fingers crossed, it will be a first for me because I suck at math, but If I can just maintain my grades now I'm set). Can't wait until spring break.

College Decisions (for Regular) are coming out soon!!!! Nervous. Sorry this jumped from the Awesomeness of Celine Dion to well, me. :) ^^

Also I hate skim milk. It is basically watery milk (gross). Anyone else agree? Sure it's healthier, but Yuck! I dislike the taste of milk in general, but skim milk is grosser.

Wild at Heart

Arashi's new pv came out for Wild at Heart, Arashi's newest single! It's for Matsujun's drama Lucky Seven, which I love. This music video is really good, the best one in a while. I love when they do this happy music because it suits them and lets them show their personality and their adorkableness! Sad or ballady songs are nice, but it doesn't really fit them and the videos tend to be boring (ex: Hatenai Sora). This one is catchy and makes you grin. I still wish they would make a video with a plot instead of just dancing ones, but this one it really good. I can't wait to watch the making of. Please enjoy!!

They are so cute. I love the suits and the Disco outfits. So cute!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEAL! Fangirling. Sorry, please ignore the fangirl and watch this awesome video.

All Fixed

Yay. The fight is over. It only lasted less than 24 hours plus without my interference. That's all.

New Fight

Does anyone remember my posts about the fight between my sister and BFF? Well, it's happening again. I believe the cause this time is that my BFF had skipped out on volunteering for no reason (we have to volunteer a certain amt. of hours for NHS) and still got her paper signed. Well we did our 15 hours whilst she did not, and even though we both believed this to be very unfair, we didn't say anything. But later at another event (today), my sister sort of let it slip in front of the lady who runs it (though she may or may not have heard) so my BFF is angry at her now. Well, my sister apologized, but she was ignored. So now she is mad at her, so that means neither of them is going to back down. My sister had to say sorry last time, so she definitely refuses to do so now.

I mean I'm angry about this thing too, but I know not to say it in front of the lady because it makes us all look bad. Because I did skip out once because I had just been out the whole day and I was uber tired and I saw that she had enough help, so I thought it would be fine. I lost some of her trust that day.I still regret my irresponsible actions today. So learn from my mistakes people!

Anyhoo, I think they are both at fault, but since my sister did apologize multiple times, I think my BFF should have forgiven her.  Plus she did something similar as well, she got someone to vouch for her that she helped tutor them even though she didn't, so she can get her in school volunteer hours as well without doing anything. I volunteer for this club and do so many things so that I can get my hours, so I think that is really unfair.

So if anyone remembers, I was freaking out last time about their big fight. Well, this time I kind of don't care too much. It's because well I'm sick and tired of being the mediator between them for when things like this happen. I mean there are only a few more months until I graduate and go off to most likely a different college from her, so I don't believe I will see any of my old friends, including said friend, unless I initiate a reunion party or something.

Plus I don't buy into things like Facebook or Twitter. I'm not really a social networking kind of person. I'm pretty isolated. People can only reach me thru email, which is fine with me. I mean I believe Facebook will end up like Myspace eventually, and something else will come along the way.

Yeah, sometimes I'm embarrassed when people are really shocked when they learn I don't have a Facebook (I don't know why everyone should have one). Once this girl even asked me, "What do you do in your free time without Facebook?" Now that is just really sad, that people can't fathom doing anything else in their free time besides going on Facebook. I mean I don't really have hobbies (going to get some in college).  I'm like a bit of an otaku (not as intense). Just like anime, manga,and dramas, and I really like watching TV shows, as you guys can see from my previous posts. Into Cougar Town right now. Very funny. Also started watching this show called Smash. Katherine Mcphee, has a really good voice.

So, hopefully this will all blow over, but if it doesn't I believe I will survive. The bad thing is that her locker is in between my sister's and my locker. Awkward! I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Also R.I.P Whitney Houston. I really liked her voice and her songs. Too bad it's always drugs that ruin people's lives. Abstain people! If you don't try something in the first place you can't get addicted to it, that's my spiel! I mean personally I've never really heard or liked Michael Jackson songs. Just pointing this out because I was thinking of other singers who have passed away recently-ish.

The Internet Is a Sad, Sad Place now

With all the things that I love disappearing I feel sad. Darn you SOPA and other acts! I mean I signed all the petitions (which I hope you all did as well), but will it be enough? The Internet used to be a free place, and now its been fun sucked into oblivion. Sigh.

Watching Cougar Town (trying to without Megavideo it's hard). It's quite interesting. The thing I've learned is that if you can watch a random episode halfway into a random season of a show you've never seen and still laugh even though you have no clue what's going to, then it's a good show. Same thing happened with How I met You Mother. I watched like the 1st episode of the 5th season and I still laughed, that's when I knew... GOOD SHOW!

Taking Economics right now and I hate it (besides disliking the people in my class, although I like the teacher). It's so confusing, everything is like topsy turvy. Logic does not work. What means one thing in the real world doesn't mean that in economics world.

Only a few more months until graduation. And a few more months until I learn my fate. Man March is going to suck. No breaks at all. Can't wait until Feb. Break!!

The Wanted

They have such catchy songs, and I while I was browsing through new Ellen videos I was surprised to see that it said they made their USA debut on her show. Yay! If you don't know them go check them out. They are a boy band from the UK.

Man, getting so distracted. Have sooo much work to finish as usual. Just because I submitted all my apps it doesn't mean anything. I have tons of work left to do. Half a year to go!

Team Huntsman

I'm not legally able to vote nor would I be a Republican (not sure if I would be a Democrat either), but if I could vote I would definitely choose Jon Huntsman. I was hoping that he would stick it out some more, but from what I have seen on Yahoo and AOL it seems he's dropping out. No! I really don't like any of the other candidates. Hopefully Yahoo and AOL are wrong. Never mind, I just checked right now and it seems that he has officially dropped out of the race. There will definitely be a lot of debate in my AP Government class tomorrow.

Interview

GLARG! I knew the day would come, I sensed it was coming. Today I got a call to have an interview with ____ school. My sister has been getting some calls for interviews, and before I said I would say No if they asked me if I wanted one, but my mom said if they called I would have to say yes. Yeah, the alumni's first impression of me is totally not good, my "yes" was extremely questioning and doubtful and gave off a feeling of "I really really don't want to." As soon as my sister burst into my room with the phone saying she didn't know who it was, I just knew it was "them."

I'm not good at talking with others really esp. not about myself. This is going to to stress me out the whole week. I feel as if I screw this up the chances of me getting in are going from to go from 01% to 0% definitely.

Also for my AP Lit HW I'm supposed to talk about the role of illness in the play Hedda Gabler. I checked out various websites, but my teacher has a very unconventional way of looking at things, that is he has really interesting views that are totally opposite of Spark Notes, and etc. He even has Spark notes quizzes where he gets info. from spark notes and we have to prove what is wrong about it. Sucks for the people who only read spark notes instead of the book (I do read the books just to clarify this, but they can be confusing, so I like to look at Spark Notes to help me out a bit, but Spark notes  has the tendency to be wrong on a few things) Sigh. Oh Hedda, you psychotic woman.

Jane By Design

Tuesdays are officially the best and worst days ever. Best: Awesome shows including Glee, New Girl, Last Man Standing, and (just saw the pilot and it was awesome) Jane by Design. If you haven't seen it, watch it. It's so interesting and I can't wait until the next episode. Worst: Uh, I have school work, but I have to watch these shows=late nights. I can't help it, if I don't know what happens next I'll go insane. Can't wait until Hart of Dixie comes back on the 23rd.

I can't believe during my week off when I finally have the time to watch my shows, nothing is on. NOTHING.

Also I finally finished my college apps. Now, I can only wait.
