Oh my goodness. The 100th episode of Desperate Housewives is so so awesome.
There's no tornado, no guns, no special effects like other seasons. It's just a simple storytelling episode...
... about love. And that's made all the difference. This episode is so touching and beautiful.
My mom watched the part about Lynette and Susan's flashback, and she cried, even though she doesn't understand English and I had to translate on the spot for her.
It's an absolutely beautiful episode.

life is a picnic
hello! I just came across something and it made my day. It's something about my classmate in Singapore.
Ok. My friend has a blog. And it's funny.
There's a lot of things I want to say but I don't know how to start. I was placed in an amazing class, really. There were a lot of characters, and laughter. On the first day I talked to a guy in the class, thinking that he was here 3 months before me and maybe he knows about the class and such blah blah. But it turned out the class had like 5 guys if I am not wrong. None of them know one another. And the girls are mostly new too. So the chemistry was kinda weird. There were so many backgrounds.
As time goes by, I find my class highly entertaining. And most importantly, they make me feel like I exist. They make me feel like I'm part of them. And that's cool. And that means a lot. Argh, how do I convey my thoughts without being sentimental? Hmm. I hope you know what I mean.
It was really fun to hang out with my friends during recess. Although I didn't really talk, listening to you all talking made me laugh so much. Really. I remember time in the canteen, in the Cafe, the LT, the LT3, etc... It was fun.
And one of the friend who always makes the people around her laugh is the one I mentioned in the first part of this very post. She's a good friend. She's also cca friend. And even though I studied with her one whole year, I don't think I had the chance to get to know her. I am a bad friend, aren't I!
I was so indulged in my own problems that I forget about nearly everything else, my study, my friends, my roomate, my goals, my future... I was such a worthless thing in 2007. I am still mad at myself for being such a nonsense, a drippy, pessimistic, weak trainwreck back then.
I reflect a lot. I am that type. And all the things I did in 2007 were wrong. The person I was in 2007 was useless.
I just hope that I can fix 2007. And I hope I would get another chance to know my class. They are so nice to me I think. I am still very thankful for that.
I might be a different person now. I'm more sane. I think I am starting to piece my life together. I have a better outlook. I am a little more optimistic. And I hope I will be fine.
I suddenly hate anything that reminds me of my former self. The scars on my arms, my long fringe... I am not an emo anymore, I have just got rid of my fringe. My hair is short and neat now, even though I look so ugly in it. But that's fine, I have never been cute anyway. Haha! I hope the scars will be gone soon. It's still visible on my left arm. That's scary.
I write this post to tell my friends that I love them. Yes, I love you as a friend. Thank you so much for being a good friend. I also write this post to get some kind of closure. I have been reflecting about my year 2007 and I just need some closure.
And if I have caused you any problems during that year, I am so sorry. I really am.

American Idol
American Idol is back. WOOHOO. I love watching American Idol. The first episode is funny. Entertaining. The new judge is good and promising. She's kinda pretty I think.
On a different but quite related note, Vietnam Idol just crowned this guy. He has a decent voice, a decent personality and a decent look. But I am not crazy about this guy. He's quite ordinary, there's nothing so special about him.
He will represent Vietnam in Asian Idol 2009 and I hope he will do a good job. I hope he will at least sing English songs with a decent pronunciation.
:D

update
I really want to blog but there's nothing much to blog about these days.
The good thing is my life has less drama now. But the bad thing is everyday is nearly the same as another, it's kinda boring. Anyway, I'm thankful to have a more peaceful life.
I have just bought a Dell computer for my parents. It's kinda kick-ass. All I have to do now is pay back for my credit card when the bank statement come.
My goals:
1) Save money to buy a car.
2) Record more songs.
And I hope I can achieve these two goals. It sounds easy but it's hard for me because I'm such a spendthrift.
Desperate Housewives is a really well-written show. I like it. It's funny.
I hope Josh Groban, Jason Mraz and Corrinne May will release new CDs soon.
...
And I'm out.

a new year

Let's start this year with this verse. And HAPPY NEW YEAR :D
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

I want to see this, live!
This is probably one of the most awesome thing I've ever seen. By the way, I like the fountain at Raffles Shopping Center too, I think it's cute.
This is waterfall "Printer", a waterfall installation located in the Canal City Hakata shopping complex in Fukuoka, Japan. It can form intricate patters using water sprayed from hundreds of nozzles that are precisely controlled by computers. See for yourself. It's amazing.

back to blogging
Hello world!
First of all, Merry Christmas to you :D
I'm back. Ok, I've never gone anywhere but I just really don't know what to write down here. My recent blog entries are so boring and tasteless.
I feel like I'm becoming increasingly stupid. Either that or I don't care about politics, economics, the US economy crisis, finance, the 401k, the bailout, tax return, health care. Maybe both. Maybe I'm both indifferent to those issues and I'm becoming more stupid. Heh.
Anyway, I'm trying to keep myself 'smart' these days by reading Times, Details, GQ, Esquire, Wired, Entertainment Weekly, US Weekly, MacWorld, MacLife, and I've just subscribed to Vanity Fair. I used to subscribe to People magazine but I've stopped, I can get what they write in there for free, and that magazine is useless.
This year, my Christmas is weird. It doesn't suck, but it is definitely not fantastic. It's just like any other day to me. Anyway, there's something that makes me really happy, although only for a short time, but it's too personal to write down here.
I have planned for my studies. It's going to be easy, but it's going to be long. The good part is I can set my pace, and the not so good part is there are still many things to finalized. Anyway, it's quite fun to study again.
I think I used "anyway" too much. And my writing style is deteriorating. It lacks varieties and wordplay and structures.
Everyone has someone for Christmas. Not me.
And that concludes this post.
Again, merry merry christmas people :D
love, don =]

Lee Pace

I think Lee Pace is unbelievable.
I was shocked, surprised, intrigued, and totally awed by his acting. It's too good.

coughing

Hello world!
Nod here!
I'm down with coughing these few days!
And I'm going to work in a few hours, hope I can pull through that!
Please pray for me :D
I'm taking a cough syrup that's 3.5% alcoholic! Woohoo!
Anyway, I'm not an alcohol addict. But I really like the way my whole body warm up when alcohol enters me. It's like having fireworks in your spine.
Desperate Housewives Episode 10 of season 5 is so enjoyable. Good storyline, funny, touching, interesting, all the right factors of a good episode. The gay storyline is freaking funny.
However, the lesbian storyline in Grey's Anatomy is so awkward. I feel that they just anyhow squeeze in that theme in Greys to please the LGBT community without putting much thoughts to it. The whole thing is just so under-developed and annoying. Urgh.
And bad news, Pushing Daisies will be cancelled. I think whoever makes that decision is INCREDIBLY stupid. Like upside down, inside out, top to bottom, in-and-out STUPID. Pushing Daisies is a gem of a show, it's so unique and so beautiful and so so so so romantic. Why would they cancel that???
And I have nothing else to write about.
Goodness, I'm so boring.

things that happened today
Hello world, it's me!
Today is weird.
When I went to the train, P smsed me about Thai steamboat at night.
But I had to work at downtown until 6.
So she told me she will pick me up at 6.
A little later T left a message on my phone, telling me that she would pick me up.
AND then the girl who worked with me on Monday called in busy and I had to cover her shift until 9.
SO, I can't go for the outing, and I had to work alone, for 7 hours.
Today is quite a waste.
No Thai steamboat. I can't meet anyone.
The upside is, my customers were really nice today. They tipped a lot.

:D
I had a major depression attack last week, after a birthday party.
I felt like it was all meaningless and I wanted to hurt myself. I lost all purposes.
And I'm proud to say that my depression attack is OVER. I'm back to normal. I don't know really know when but it kind of just went away. Woo hoo.
Anyway, it's quite scary because I haven't been depressed in a really long time. I don't feel sad that often nowadays. So it's scary when depression comes back.
Maybe because I never had a proper birthday celebration. By the way, my birthday this year maybe the worst ever. It sucks. August the first 2008 Sucks with a capital S.
All that aside, it just feels so great to be up and running again.
:D
P.S. By the way, this year, so far, I'm medication-free. Yay!

television
Smallville is getting really good these days. The storylines are more interesting. The directing, the filming, everything is getting more innovative...
Ah, screw it. It's getting good because KRISTIN KREUK is BACK.
Only for one episode though. Boy, she looks quite different, but still gorgeous.
Anyway, still, Smallville is getting good.
On a different note, Pushing Daisies is the most romantic, beautiful, best best best best show on earth. It is SO beautiful. And the soundtracks of the series are the best ever, they are all orchestral music. It's an absolutely perfect show.
And I am such a loser to burn my life in these shows.
But who cares :D
I love television. It's a haven for creativity and a perfect hideout from the boring day-to-day life.
By the way, I like Tina Fey. She's unique.
I think my posts are getting so disconnected these days.
:D

Pushing Daisies is the best show on earth.
Desperate Housewives is getting so boring.
And Heroes is getting seriously disgusting and lengthy and pointless.
Gossip Girl is a yawn fest.
David Archuleta's album is bad.
Taylor Swift's album is cute.
Beyonce's album is fierce and really catchy. She's so pretty.
And I think I should not love anyone. I'm not good with that. Never was and never will be.
But the person is too perfect.
