Wow. Christmas is almost upon us, who would of thought that the year would pass by so fast. All I know is that hopefully next year will be better financially. This year kind of sucked money wise, it seems that every time me and my boyfriend try to save money we all ways end up paying something off with our savings. Maybe I should be like this girl I know and think of it as money going to pay for something. Instead of calling it a saving fund, call it the in case I forget to pay the electric fund, or something snazzy like that. I can't call it a tire fund, cause I don't own a car. I can't call it a fix the house fund cause I rent, and I defiantly can't call it the Las Vegas fund cause I know I won't save enough money to get there.
Finally the semester is done! I passed all of my classes! I am so stoked, most people won't even get excited over a C but I am just so happy that I passed Japanese class. At least I can say that I passed it! Art class I got a B. It's alright i guess, I know I wasn't that dedicated to it, maybe next semester I will put more effort into my art. I wonder what people see in my drawing that I don't. This teacher is the second one to tell me that if I learned a bit more and put some dedication into it that I would be an outstanding artist. Most of what I have drawn all I see is flaws, I don't see anything that special compared to everyone else. I think I was the one that least progressed at least from what I have seen. Maybe I need to draw for fun more often, and get my head out of the books. I don't think that I can get any job reading a book.
Well hopefully I will write something else before the end of the year. I think I need to write some kind of count down since everyone does. Like what I like most, or something like that. We will see I can't promise my self anything since I am the only one that really reads this. But it is true that I am writing more for my self then an actual audience. So many things have happen this year. I just have to make sure I didn't lose any memories, sometimes I by pass the good memories and dwell on the bad, hopefully I can grow and let things go. Well I will say merry Christmas and it I don't make it back for my sequel Happy New Years.

what the hellu
Why is it that when I am at work it feels like the energy is being drained out of me? It's so weird, but when I clock out for the day it seems like all of my energy comes back. What can one do to make work more enjoyable? Is it a mind set that you have to prepare yourself for or is something that you have to actually enjoy? I some days it feels like I got plenty of energy but those are usually the days there are people that I like working with. I wonder why the time drags on forever it seem, some days I wish that time would fly by faster. But later on when I think about it, it seems like time flies by to fast.
I wonder if we can go through like and enjoy every aspect of it. Like the old saying goes that one should live life to its fullest. I guess it would have to go on a persons version of comfort and stuff. I wonder if there are many people who go through life with out any regrets? But why would anyone regret it, you can't really go back and change it can we?
I know that right now it is hard economically. But really, I see a lot of people with expensive stuff such as electronics, brand name bags, clothes, shoes and etc... How can we be bad off if we can still buy such expensive extravagance. I wonder why we believe that we can't go through life without some of these stuff, is that we can't or we won't.
Its not really necessities but still we buy them, why? You know some days I see homeless people with cellphones, I have always found that weird. I know I have heard many stories where some of those beggars out there are fakes, they just do it to con honest people out of money. I know since I have heard some of those stories that I don't really give money to beggars, I konw not all of them are cons but I can't help think what if this is just a con. I have heard that some of the dudes own car and nice house, well shit I can't afford a car let alone my rent. Another thing that pisses me off about homeless poeple is that usually I am willing enough to give them food if I have any, somedays I would offer people my spam musubi or manapua and I get answers like I don't like that stuff or that isn't really healthy for me. But who the fuk are these people to say that they don't like it or it ain't healthy for them if they are hungery. I guess they really ain't hungery after all.
Somedays I don't think that working two jobs is worth it. It't hard cause I go to school part time also, I always feel so burnt out like I don't ever get enough sleep when I had just had like a full eight hours of sleep. I know somedays my head feels like its foggy or that I'm wading through muck just to think clearly. I know there are other people that probably carry more shit then I do, but I don't think that I am doing it right. I wonder how long till I really burn myself out hopefully I won't find out the hard way.

Dawn of the day
Well I have started to work during the day again... I still hate all those up tight supposed "corporate" people that walk around the so called membership store. How can it be a gad damn corporation when there is only two stores in Hawaii and you got a half a store at a mall that is barely able to pay the gad damn mall rent. This company is full of idjets. "Lets take off night stock since the system is working" we were the fuking system! Without us those fuking idiots have to take the time away from customer service to put away their shit! I tell you there are some fuking idiots in the world. I guess I might as well be an idiot also since still work at this company.
Well nothing much for real since all I have time to do is wake up and go to work, I hate standing in one spot, it makes my feet feel like they are going to explode. Hopefully this will be some kind of motivation to lose some gad damn weight. I keep saying that I'm going to lose weight but then something comes up that or I feel so damn lazy i don't go. like most of may and part of July I couldn't go swimming cause I was sick that shit didn't go away for the longest time, and just when I get back into swimming I have to return to the day shift.
I still have to figure out what I want to do in college, hopefully I will find something fun.Well I will try to write more before the end of the month. Hmmm. . . Not a guarantee.

End of night
Well I haven't up and around to write anything lately, my boyfriend would say other wise since I am always on the computer. Lately since the summer has started, I have been going to or have tried to go swimming couple times a week. Last month though I was sick three weeks out of the month, and only recently did my cough go away. Now all I have to deal with is my medicine induced coughing, its a side effect from my high blood pressure pill.
A lot has happened in this last month, before inventory the upper management was thinking about disbanding the over night stock program at our store, it was a thought that they were just kicking around. Now that the shipments are done, all their inventory has been counted, they feel that they have no need for a night stock program. I mean we do slack off some, eat what ever we want but when it comes down to it we get their shit done! I remember when we first started night stock, there was pallets in every aisle, the main aisle from the front warehouse to the back warehouse was full of shit you could barely find the products you need to. Now after two years of creating a system where they can easily find products, and put away, there is no longer pallets up the yang hole, and everything looks fairly decent. They don't need us anymore?
In the last two years we have did some fucken stupid projects, they made us move fixtures in the nonfood section around for one whole fuken month like every fuken day, saying it doesn't look good there, they need something else. We made the store space when they did their charity event it took hour to move shit, something that would have taken the day crew 3 days to move reasonably, we have been through about 4 inventories where counted most of the shit in the warehouse and freezers, not to mention all of the fuken containers that come in from japan that we have to put away so that the ware house looks nice. We have done so much shit for these bitches and when they feel that there is a "system" to work smoothly they don't need us. Those ungrateful bitches.
We worked hard to bust our ass to make the store look good, to make the store manager look good, and even have to keep the warehouse clean so that when the fucken president of the company flies down the we have to make Mr. Richard look like he's a fucken geinus for having this program that is fuken bullshit. I know that I havent worked at many other companies and this is the longest that I have worked anywhere,but this company is full of idiotic upper management, that are only qualified to kiss ass and screw there secretaries. Lets just say that I need to find a new job soon.

FAN GURL
I not sure if I would call myself a fan gurl, I'm not much of the screaming and running up to celebrities and touching them. But, my boyfriend would call me a fan gurl, just because I know that one of the celebrities that I like is on the island and I keep tabs on where they have been spotted, if that makes me a fan gurl so be it. Its not like I will hunt every hotel in Waikiki to look for them or something, I just find it cool that people are really good with their stalking skills and can keep tabs on celebrities and post it on the internet for people to read, I maybe a bit information hungry but that is all I am because for one I am very lazy, and two I don't think that celebrities like screaming stalking people following them on what little time they have to themselves. I know that it would be my loss if I don't see them but if it was meant to be then that is fate.
I stood in line for 4 hours to see John Cena and all I told that dude was "Hi, and uh nice to meet you." I'm not even sure I said nice to meet you, but I was thinking what the hell am I doing in this line, I have a problem talking to people to begin with and I want to stand in line to meet a celebrity, what the hell was I thinking. I'm not one of those people that are like OMG! I AM LIKE YOUR BIGGEST FAN! I LOVE YOU!!! I have a hard time plain and simple. I get embarrassed really easy, and I don't like when people have a really focused stare, and stare at me because then I feel really uncomfortable. Maybe one day I will fully evolve into screaming fan gurl! But until then I will be my uncomfortable self, someday I will work on that self confidence.

Boring Day
I have got to say that some days my job is extremely boring. Well so far this last month has been really boring, because of the economy they cut back on how much they can spend to import items from japan, and because they cut back on importing there is less stuff for our night stock to put away. I guess you can say it one of those situations where damn if you do and damn if you don't. I say that because when there was a crapton of stuff to put away during the holiday, I was like damn them where the hell are we going to put all of this shit! Imma kill dem!!! Lol. Now its like what the hell we going to do tonight? That is only work enough for 3 hours what the hell are we going to do for the next 5 hours?
Its been a very fast year, I barely realized that half the year has gone by already. Damn, that was fast. Oh yeah, my boyfriend and I have bought a ps3. Its pretty cool some of the games on the ps3 network is different and creative. They have this game called flower, its not much game wise but its beautiful and fun. The whole point is that you start of as a petal in the wind and the whole point is to open all of the flowers as you breeze past them. Simple but the graphics are very lovely. One of the other games that I enjoyed playing was Little Big Planet. It was fun as you get your little sack guy across the level, some levels were hard but the some of the levels that other people have built was very creative.
Lets see I'm going to make a list of books that I have read in the last month or so.
Nora Roberts - Visions in White
Mary Balogh - Seducing an Angel, At last comes Love
Johanna Lindsey - No Choice But seduction
Lynn Viehl - If Angels Burn
I believe there were more books but I'm not at home to look at the books but this is all I can remember. It suck for me to buy books because I finish them in less then a day ;__; I guess that I will continue this list later I think this is enough writing for one day. hopefully I will write more later.

Just another day
This is the second day that we changed our schedule for our over night shift, its not all that big off a difference we start an hour earlier so in return we get off earlier. For me it is the same cause I went to sleep the same time this morning, but for my boss he said that he was so much fresher. I'm guessing it should be a good thing.
Didn't do much to day really just got up and went to pizza hut, ate the buffet for the first time in like five years. The pizza was pizza, but the desert pizza was good. It was bread covered in cinnamon sugar goeiness with some frosting, yummy ^_^. Since I have finished school my brain hurts less, I don't have those massive headaches from trying to cram as much information as possible in a short span. My boyfriend was right though if only I had started my paper back at the end of March I would of had a much better paper. Hopefully I can improve where I am horribly bad at.

Chicken Scratch
I'm not much of a writer, but I think this might be a way to help with my anger issues. I'm not sure if I'm just feed up with my job or the people I work with but as of late I have been getting a bit more irritated with everything and everyone. I hate the way I am always anger and irritable, it could be just one little comment and I will be mad for hours if not days. I think that I just need to find a way to make it all go away, one of my friends suggested that I should get into kick boxing/martial arts it might help me work off any excessive anger, so that I don't and make my working place a hostile working environment.
Let me just list down a few things or people that have been pissing me off:
#1 My boss - He has been complaining lately that he suffers from the lack of sleep. hello we all work the same overnight shift its not like he is the only one with that problem. We all have that problem he is the only bitch that is taking it out on everyone.
#2 The tone of voice people use with me - sometimes when they talk to me sounds like they are talking down to me like I'm stupid or something. Also they will spout out random ass rude comments like, oh if you work harder maybe it will look like you actually work or some shit like that. For one I do work and those lazy ass mother fukers all do the same god damn thing. Only thing is that it takes a lot of effort for me to sweat at all, so when we work and it isn't physically hard it wont look like I did a god damn thing. I'm not the one to tell the crew that if we work 3 hours hard we can slack off the next 5 and then fuken panic when shit doesn't get done.
#3 Listening to someones problems - I ain't got no problem listening to anyone's problems, I just don't like it when they ask for advice and then they say oh ok then continue complaining about the god damn problem. This girl I work with she is supporting her boyfriend because he can't find a job, she knows why he can't find a job she defended him perfectly on what was happening with him, then she goes on to say I'm tired of supporting him, he better find a job or I'm going to continue to treat him like shit and be a bitch to him. She fucken knows why he is having a hard time what the fuk dude!!! she answered he own fucken problem, she got the answer now shit the fuk up!!!!
I think that is enough venting for one day. Maybe this has help me keep my anger down so that I won't voice my opinion to the people I work with, maybe this is a good thing. My boyfriend often tells me that I get to worked up and need to let things go, I'm guessing he is right cause this can't be good for my high blood pressure.

Pondering. . .
Wow, I haven't really wrote anything in a long time. Not much happening in my part of the world, same old stuff different day. I was supposed to go to a MMA event yesterday but the butt head that was getting the group together to watch didn't pre-buy tickets so the seats we wanted didn't have any available. Next time I decided to make plans with that butt head I'm going to make sure we get advance tickets, or else I'mma beat him up!
I wonder why I am always so unmotivated to do my homework? I know that getting better grades will be better then a low grade, but I can never bring my self to do it in advance. I think I need to find something that will make me interested in homework, cause I don't want to be working at the same dead beat job for the rest of my life.
My manager has been working at this grocery store for five going on six years, but he absolutely hates working there. For one he hates working night shift, and two he said he can't seem to get any rest during the day. The last month or so he has been very irritable, I also think his frustration is coming from home also. To put it simple he is the bitch at home, he takes the kids to school, picks them up, cleans the house, cooks dinner and washes dishes. Those rare occasions that he forgets to do the dishes his wife gives him attitude, I feel sorry for the dude, its like he has no anger outlet so he's been taking aggression out on one particular clerk.
I mean I know everyone hates this clerk and that he is an asshole but he goes out of his way to mess up this guys section, he's been leaving notes for the guy to put away his own shit. I know he is a manager and everything but he is like singling this guy out I'm hoping that with all of the stuff that my manager is doing that he doesn't end up getting himself fired.
Well I guess if it does come to that I'm just going to have to deal with it, there is nothing that I can do to make a difference, I have tried to talk to my manager about stuff that he is doing but he don't care. So I guess I shouldn't really care either.
Here is a quote that I saw in one of the drama's that I have watched: "Luck that comes too fast is like spoiled milk, you won't know its spoiled till you drink it."

Tips For Better Living! Volume 1
I just wanted to share some information I read recently while browsing through a few articles on MSN this morning. Interesting stuff for sure, definitely food for thought and by all appearances, sound advice.
5 Ways to Fit in a Part-Time Job:
1. Consider what you're doing. "There are lots of ways to make money that don't require physical labor or long, demanding hours," says Katie Mattson, a life coach. "If you have a talent for writing, pick up a few freelance gigs. Bottom line: Try to work a second job that doesn't demand too much from you so you don't overload your system."
2. Find jobs that mesh well. Beth Zeigler is a full-time professional organizer for her own company, Bneato, but for part-time work, she writes for a blog called Apartment Therapy. She writes about inspiring home spaces, how to make space work and organizing -- her expertise. "Not only have I become more of an authority on organizing while writing for AT, it's given my business exposure that I never would have had otherwise," she says.
3. Make time for yourself. "Make sure that you budget adequate time for yourself in the week to recharge your batteries," says Dave Crenshaw, author of "The Myth of Multitasking: How Doing It All Gets Nothing Done." "While holding multiple jobs may help cash flow in the short term, in the long term, the loss will be tremendous if you find yourself unable to hold any job due to stress or health concerns."
4. Find something that works with your schedule. Erin Shanahan worked full time at a publishing company, but needed help paying off some debt, so she found a nonprofit looking for someone to telecommute whenever possible as long as it was 15-20 hours per week. "I would put in my full day at one job, go home and work two to three hours for the other one. I also usually put in at least one full weekend day," Shanahan says. "I made sure to take a night off here or there when I needed to and to do something for fun each weekend to keep me from feeling too stressed out."
5. Be honest with both of your employers. Have an honest conversation with your boss about both of your jobs -- you never want one to start interfering with the other. When Laura Kassenbrock relocated, she took a job that she soon found out was not challenging enough. She found a better fit, but was afraid the short stint would look bad on her résumé. "I made a proposition to my current employer: Keep me on part time and I could do the amount of work I was doing in 40 hours in 20," she says. "It saved them money and allowed me to follow my passion and have extra income to pay my student loans."
"Always work on your long-term vision. You don't want to be stuck with working two jobs forever," Morrison says. "Set goals and get organized on how and when you will reach your ultimate goal and take steps each day to get you closer to that goal."
What If 120,000 People Didn't Have to Get Cancer?: 7 Ways to Slash Your Risk of Getting Cancer
1. Be physically active for at least 30 minutes a day. As well as helping prevent weight gain, research shows that activity itself helps prevent cancer by keeping hormone levels healthy, which is important because having high levels of some hormones can increase cancer risk.
2. Lower your weight to the lower end of the body-mass index for your height. Even more important, banish belly fat, which acts like a ‘hormone pump’ releasing estrogen into the bloodstream as well as raising levels of other hormones. This is strongly linked to colon cancer and probably to cancers of the pancreas and endometrium (lining of the uterus), as well as breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women.
3. Avoid sugary drinks and high-calorie foods. Cutting out foods made from white flour and sugar, such as candy, pastries, and other baked goods that aren't whole grain, is one of the fastest ways to lose weight, and is also healthier for blood sugar balance.
4. Eat more fruits and vegetables. This one's been pretty thoroughly covered in a previous post on anti-cancer foods.
5. Eat less red meat and little or no processed meat. Experts say there's no longer any doubt that eating beef, pork, and other red meats raises the risk of colorectal cancer. Red meat contains heme iron and other substances that damage the colon lining, making way for tumor growth. Processed meat is even worse. When meat is preserved by smoking, curing or salting, or by the addition of preservatives, cancer-causing substances (carcinogens) are formed that damage cells in the body, leading to cancer. While studies show we can eat up to 18 ounces a week of red meat without raising cancer risk, research shows that cancer risk starts to increase with any portion of processed meat.
6. Limit alcohol to two drinks a day for men, 1 for women—but none is best of all. Unfortunately for all those of us who like a drink now and then, there's convincing evidence that alcohol increases the risk of cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, and colon. This one got hit with a double-whammy of evidence this week; the National Cancer Institute also reported the results of a huge study detailing the risks of alcohol for women. Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, cancer blogger for the American Cancer Society, spelled it out in black and white: "there is no level of alcohol consumption that could be called safe." Scientists are still researching how alcohol causes cancer. One theory is that alcohol can directly damage DNA, increasing our risk of cancer. Research shows that alcohol is particularly harmful when combined with smoking.
7. Limit salt intake. Salt and salt-preserved foods are linked to stomach and other digestive cancers; limit salt to 2,400 milligrams to be safe.
One last thing; this report did not even address smoking, because experts consider that such a no-brainer at this point. Smokers increase their chances of getting almost all kinds of cancer every time they light up. So the only recommendation is, don't.
5 Ways to Fit in a Part-Time Job:
1. Consider what you're doing. "There are lots of ways to make money that don't require physical labor or long, demanding hours," says Katie Mattson, a life coach. "If you have a talent for writing, pick up a few freelance gigs. Bottom line: Try to work a second job that doesn't demand too much from you so you don't overload your system."
2. Find jobs that mesh well. Beth Zeigler is a full-time professional organizer for her own company, Bneato, but for part-time work, she writes for a blog called Apartment Therapy. She writes about inspiring home spaces, how to make space work and organizing -- her expertise. "Not only have I become more of an authority on organizing while writing for AT, it's given my business exposure that I never would have had otherwise," she says.
3. Make time for yourself. "Make sure that you budget adequate time for yourself in the week to recharge your batteries," says Dave Crenshaw, author of "The Myth of Multitasking: How Doing It All Gets Nothing Done." "While holding multiple jobs may help cash flow in the short term, in the long term, the loss will be tremendous if you find yourself unable to hold any job due to stress or health concerns."
4. Find something that works with your schedule. Erin Shanahan worked full time at a publishing company, but needed help paying off some debt, so she found a nonprofit looking for someone to telecommute whenever possible as long as it was 15-20 hours per week. "I would put in my full day at one job, go home and work two to three hours for the other one. I also usually put in at least one full weekend day," Shanahan says. "I made sure to take a night off here or there when I needed to and to do something for fun each weekend to keep me from feeling too stressed out."
5. Be honest with both of your employers. Have an honest conversation with your boss about both of your jobs -- you never want one to start interfering with the other. When Laura Kassenbrock relocated, she took a job that she soon found out was not challenging enough. She found a better fit, but was afraid the short stint would look bad on her résumé. "I made a proposition to my current employer: Keep me on part time and I could do the amount of work I was doing in 40 hours in 20," she says. "It saved them money and allowed me to follow my passion and have extra income to pay my student loans."

Stuff mang
I'm not to sure what to write today. Well that is nothing new, i dont know what to write most days. Lets see. My boyfriend told me that I was scary the other day. Not only because I watch Kdrama, but when I was talking with a friend that also watches Kdrama we were both talking about the actors and actress. He said that I was scary because I knew more about the actors and actress then my friend. My friend used to be a fanatic about the korean actors and stuff, she look up information and had pictures and stuff like that. I'm not saying that I am not a fanatic, I just like reading about interesting stuff.
The only reason why I know so much stuff about these actors and actresses is because of the blogs that I read. When I was watching We Got Married everyone in that show was a actor/actress or a singer. Since majority of them were singer I wanted to see what they sounded like so I looked them up on youtube and google and found a crap load of information. And since then I have found two really good blogs, they write about korean actors and singers and all of the events they are doing or promotions, sometimes even where they are traveling to. Its not like I spend hours on end looking for the info these people are pretty informative. But when the need strikes me I will sit here at the computer looking up stuff. Since I was talking about we got married I will show my favorite couples from that show. ^_^
The lettuce couple Hwang Bo and Kim Hyun Joong
The R&B couple Hwanhee and Hwayobi
Uploading Picture is something new for me ^_^ maybe I will write another blog before the month is out. who knows!

Slacking again
Wow, since this year started i haven't really wrote much. i could say that i spend most of my time working, going to school and homework. but that would be a lie. i spend a lot of time playing video games and looking up random stuff online. i have even slacked off on teaching myself to play the piano. its a good thing that i haven't invested in that violin that i wanted it probably be collecting dust with my keyboard and flute.i will get around to it someday.
I have been reading articles about Asian star, what i have come to notice is that there are quite a few Korean actress or actors that have committed suicide in the last year or so. i wonder what has driven these people to take their own lives? since I'm on the subject of suicides i have also noticed that there has been a spike in murder suicide cases, i know that we as nation has come dropped into hard finical times, hell I'm always broke. but killing myself has not really enter my mind. i wonder if those people ever heard of the saying things get worse before they get better.
So lets see... my latest obsession has been Boys Over Flowers the Korean version. it is pretty much the same story as the Japanese and the Taiwanese with a like difference here and there, but i have got to say they have the best looking people out of the 3 versions. they are much cuter. speaking of drama. i read some where that the filming for extravagant challenge has halted and that Wu Chun from Fahrenheit might replace the main actor Jerry Yan. i hope they can start filming again skip beat is a funny Manga it be cool to see how Ariel Lin will acted out Kyoko.
Oh well i think this will all for today! hopefully i can write another before the month is out maybe i will make some progress in playing the keyboard?

Oops...
Wow. I mean wow! I have been a slacker this month. I can't really say that I have been extremely busy because I always make time to watch the me Boys over Flowers Korean Version. Oh! I have been doing homework too! I think that I might be turning over a new leaf this year with my school work, I don't wait to the last minute to it! WHOOO! At least I making some progress in that department. Can't say for the rest of the time, but at least I'm attempting to change my slacker ways.
Lets see, hmmm.. what else has been consuming my time. Well I have gotten into playing video games a bit more. I have been playing Gears of War 2 Horde mode. I suck at it but I keep going back maybe I haven't fully accepted that I suck, by my boyfriend tells me that I should just retire from playing cause I do more damage to the walls then the horde.
I have got extremely a bit more worse (like I didn't suck before) when we got a new television ;_; I get motion sickness. So this high def makes it worse, I can see everything more clearer, and all the bullets that I put into the wall while I shoot everything but the bad guys. WHY OH VIDEO GAME GOD WHY! *weeps ;~;* Oh on another note I have gotten into playing need for speed undercover, I suck at that game too. I think that if any car lover watched me play they would weep everytime I slam the car into a wall or the guard rail, or the tree etc. I hit everything. I'm not really trying to it just works out that way!
well this should be enough for this week! I will try to write something else before the month is out!

the man of courage is never afraid.

What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a friend to myself.

Wow!
Wow this month has really flown by fast. there has been so many things that happened this month. I flew up to the big island twice this year already, usually i go once a year or once every two years. sorry to say though i went up for a one year memorial and a funeral. maybe one day i will fly to the big island just for fun so that i can play tourist.
last year was i guess pretty eventful for me tired a lot of new things and stuff. hopefully this year will even better, maybe time will tell. oh yeah I'm going back to school again, and surprising enough i am keeping up with my homework relatively well I'm not waiting till the morning of class or anything maybe i am starting to grow up a bit more, damn I'm slow it has taken me six to seven years to stop being a procrastinator kinda.
lets see... over the last year i have gotten more into asian music. not only things i hear from the Japanese anime, but from k drama and also c pop. one of the groups that i started listing to is S.H.E. they are a taiwanese music group but is labeled under chinese pop.last septmber they release a new cd, still looking for it around china town over here cause it more expensive to buy it from yes asia and stuff cause of the shipping cost. but i will get it someday!
I heard that the taiwanese are making one of my favorite manga into a drama hopefully it will be good. supposedly they are making skip beat which would be called extravagant challenge or something like. that maybe i will read up on it more. the main actress is ariel lin, i think her acting is actually really good she can go from airhead to mean girl. well maybe next month i will post more, hopefully i will have better new to write about!
