Glee!

Posted: June 20, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Hollywood! | Tags: | 4 Comments »

I can’t believe it. For months, I have told myself that Glee is just some stupid American TV show and it’s a total waste of time.

But now I am totally hooked.

Father, forgive me, for I am weak.

Now that I have “confessed”, NOBODY is going to come up to me and spoil the rest of the series for me, you hear? I’ve only watched till the 8th episode and I’m aiming to finish the first season as soon as possible so I can get on with the rest of my life.

So if you read this, and you’re one of those people who convinced me to watch it, I hope you’re happy for what you’ve done to me. *sniffle*

You know how there are sometimes these little kids on the LRT…

and they keep crying and crying even though their parents are with them?

I sometimes wonder if the “parents” are actually kidnappers and I would be seeing a news report on TV at night about it.

Does that make me a bad person? :(

Back to school

Work is finished at last!!! I mean it was fun and all, but I wasn’t getting paid anything so it totally defeats the purpose of working. I’m just kidding. The experience was great and I learned so much, so even if I’m not getting paid it’s okay because I gained much more. (This is where you all go “Awwwwww…”)

But anyway. Work is over. And now it’s back to school! I’m super excited! (This is where you go “OMG Charmaine is totally losing it.”)

Uh. NO. I’m excited because I haven’t had a regular sem in like SOOOOO long. I’m just realizing that I have already mentioned this in my previous blog post. Yes, I’m an idiot.

Anyway. I am here to advertise some NEW blogs!!! YES! My friends in college have finally joined me in the world of blogging.

First of all, we have Bea (http://topofthehead.wordpress.com) who’s a bank in Hong Kong.

Second, we have Angela (http://angelagoesbananas.tumblr.com) who’s a Super Junior song.

And then! We have this: the official Team China blog (http://yayteamchina.wordpress.com)!!! Well, right now, I’m the only one who’s posted anything. But I’m sure the other members of Team China (Bea, Angela, Jes and Rachelle) will be up and blogging in no time!

SO if you know Bea and Angela and Team China, then GO AND SUPPORT THEM! What are you doing still sitting there reading my lame blog? Go read their super cool and much better blog!!!!

(I’m just kidding!!! Don’t leave me!! T_T)

ANOTHER 25 things about me :P

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
*Since I’m not using FB to do this, I’m not gonna tag anybody anymore. Besides! I’ve done this a million times before and I’ve run out of friends to tag. Well, actually, I ran out of friends to tag the very first time I did it. :(
**I’m only joking about having less than 25 friends, mind you.
So, 25 things. Here we go:
  1. I’ve never gone around telling people to call me a certain name other than my actual given name. In my mind, nicknames are more sincere when it comes from the person. That being said, I (not always) dislike it when people copy the nickname that others give me when we’re not even that close. (Oh wait, I think I have already mentioned this before. Oh well.)
  2. My favorite color is officially blue, but my tastes vary depending on the mood. Sometimes I’m into purple, sometimes pink, sometimes black.
  3. I don’t have many guy friends. Why? *shrugs*
  4. I go through a lot of phases, which is when I am so into something that I don’t stop until I am completely sick of it. Then I move on to something else. Examples: anime, Jpop, fanfiction, Japanese dramas, Pet Society, etc. Not that I hate them now, but I sure don’t love them as much as I used to.
  5. I love melons. Especially honeydew melon. SO SWEET :3
  6. On my mother side, I only have 3 1st cousins. And 2 of them are in Taiwan. And all of them are younger than me! So I’m sort of like a big sister  to everyone. It’s nice. :)
  7. My favorite dessert next to ice cream would have to be cheesecake. Any sort of cheesecake! Even plain cheesecake. Except maybe the no-bake cheesecake. Which is good, but is no match for real cheesecake! Drooool~
  8. It feels weird for me to make friends with people who are my senior. It must be a culture thing. You know, power distance, and all that stuff.
  9. My favorite number is 3 and 13. Because my birthday is March 13. I know. So lame, right? But anyway, this is sort of a good thing because although in general I am rather superstitious, I’ve always considered 13 to be lucky (for me) rather than unlucky.
  10. I’m looking forward to having classes again this coming Tuesday because it’s my first time in a long while to be back in a regular class, since I’ve been in JTA classes since last April, and I didn’t even get to have summer classes because I have OJT.
  11. Some company just emailed me about an interview for OJT. Hello? You’re kind of late by 6 weeks. :( It looks like a nice company too. T_T
  12. I love the drums. Even back in high school, I loved watching the drummers strut their stuff. It’s not the choreography that gets me, but the way they can make MUSIC out of hitting a few cans. It’s amazing. Even when I listen to songs, I always pay particular attention to the drums, sometimes so much that I don’t even remember the song itself.
  13. I can’t wait to have a real job! Not because I’m a workaholic or whatever, but mainly because I will have a stable source of income. I mean, my allowance from my parents is tiny and I can’t buy a lot. But when I get a salary, I’m totally going to splurge. (Not everything of course. Just my first paycheck, or something)
  14. I have a tendency to spend a lot!!! And since (as I mentioned) I don’t usually have a lot of allowance from my parents, I tend to run out easily and then I have to beg my parents for more. It’s a little sad. For me, at least.
  15. I’ve always loved to sing. Unfortunately, although my voice is quite nice (in my opinion at least XD), I have difficulty with range. Meaning, I can’t reach high notes or low notes. So I’m stuck in the middle. Hey! Did you know that the song Moon River from the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s was written specifically for Audrey Hepburn? Because she, like me, (YES, I TOTALLY HAVE THE NERVE TO COMPARE MYSELF TO AUDREY HEPBURN) has difficulty reaching high and low notes. So if you have heard the song, then you might notice that it doesn’t hit a lot of highs or lows. Maybe I should sing that song too. XD
  16. I am vain.
  17. I’ve been blogging for almost 5 years. Like seriously. My first blog post was on June 24, 2005, on Friendster. You can even see it here: http://charmaineyv.blog.friendster.com/2005/06/
  18. I look down on people who still use Friendster. (YES, I AM MEAN)
  19. I’ve never had a boyfriend/male more-than-a-friend (except FAMILY). Whoop. Big surprise.
  20. I don’t have a single best friend who is with me 24/7 and with whom I can confide EVERY SINGLE THING like those protagonists in chick lit. That is why I am jealous of said protagonists. In other words, I need a life.
  21. I want to be famous. But not too famous. Maybe just up to a certain extent where people know me, but not what I look like so they can’t stalk me. Or something.
  22. I have this whole folder on my computer filled with scraps of stories that I started writing but never bothered to continue. Before I got a laptop, I had a box of paper and notebooks with all that stuff.
  23. I need a writing coach. Preferably Meg Cabot. If you have her phone number, can I have it? I’ll give you chocolate. (Or if Ms. Cabot is unavailable, I can settle for Sophie Kinsella.)
  24. Whew. That’s quite a bit of soul searching right there, man. You are totally learning a lot of deep dark secrets about me here on this post. That is, if you’ve read this far. Have you? If you have, comment/message me saying “I like Peter Pan Peanut Butter” or something. Just so I know I’m not wasting my time writing all this. XD
  25. I like cheese.

Well. Just because I haven’t fangirled much on my blog doesn’t mean I haven’t been fangirling at all. Here you go, my most played song for the past few days. I don’t know why I’m so addicted to it, but anyway I’m pretty sure I’ll get sick of it in a few days, so I’m uploading it now. XD

CNBlue – Love

E-book!

That’s right!!!!! I’m a published writer!!! XD

No, I’m kidding. Duh.

But I DID illustrate a children’s book that I co-wrote with my classmates in Psychology (two years ago, in fact!). And I am here to provide you the link!! Isn’t that great?

No?

Oh. Okay.

But anyway, it’s called Sammy the Starfish, and it talks about asexuality. Here’s the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?incmgzmni2g

Oh, and it was inspired by And Tango Makes Three, which is a book about homosexual penguins. And our book is about asexual starfish, get it? Hahaha. Ha. Yeah…
