"i don't think we're in kansas anymore..."

Wizard Of OZ - Clazziquai Project

you're right. we're not in kansas anymore. we are in south korea, now. i've always enjoyed clazziquai's simple melodies, with a cheerful undertone, but the 4th album really blew me away. this song inspires me. i don't even really know what this song inspires me to do. possibly draw? paint? dance around like a crazy person? well, i dance around like a crazy person all the time, but this song gives me the urge to just do something random. i will post up what this song has inspired me to do soon.

change

i felt that i needed to change the title of this my blog. "memoirs of a crazy asian" was starting to sicken me. of course, i don't really like "awesome sauce" as a title either, but i can't think of any other title, so i'll just stick with that.

today's inspiration is chalk. i was sitting in my room, being bored like usual and i saw a bag of chalk. i have no idea why i had it. it's probably from a long time ago and i never bothered to throw it away. anyways, i saw the chalk and decided that i would go outside and draw on the sidewalk. of course i looked crazy. i'm a 17 year old asian girl, with big glasses and messy hair drawing on the sidewalk with chalk. and of course, today had to be the day where everyone in the neighborhood would walk passed me and briefly stare at me. i continued to draw and i really enjoyed it.
here's the end product:


the drawing is obviously terrible, but it was like walking into my childhood. i'm really tempted to put a bunch of math equations all over the driveway or an impressive essay on the street so that my neighbors would think that i am an actual nutcase. i actually may have to do it now that i thought about it.

today's other inspiration is ice cream. i love ice cream. it's a problem. all i ever want to do is go out and buy myself a scoop of ice cream. it's so unhealthy, but so delicious. i don't even really know what to say about ice cream, except that ice cream is love.

epic fail

I have failed as an Asian!
So, I looked at my college admissions and AP scores have been sent. I read the little statement above and it said that scores with a 2 or lower aren't displayed. I looked at my scores and I passed AP Lit and AP Gov. Too bad I didn't see any score for AP Calc. FAIL! Why is that a fail you ask? Because, AP Calc was the ONLY AP I got an A in. I aced all of the tests, but I failed the AP exam?? That is an epic fail. The good thing is that my major has nothing to do with math. Also, Lit and Gov have everything to do with my major. The bad thing, I have lost all confidence. Not even "The Avatar: The Last Airbender" trailer will make me feel better. There is only one thing I can say:


FUCK CALCULUS!

purpose

I know I keep saying that I've found meaning in my life, but this time, I really found it. Watching this makes me feel (almost) as giddy as when I watched the Harry Potter Musical.

sweet

yes...
Behold. The official teaser trailer of "Avatar: The Last Airbender The Movie"
Life is good.

Houses and Pajamas

Good news. The landlord decided to be reasonable and is allowing me, my mom, and my dad to stay in our current house until September.

Now, my parents have been searching frantically for a new house, which I guess is a good thing...but that requires me to show my parents available houses online. I really want to help my parents out, but if they come into my room one more time asking me to stop doing whatever I was doing in my pathetic idea of summer, I will explode. My parents believe that I can do anything on the internet. I mean anything. Once a picture wasn't coming up because of the whole hotlinking thing and my dad told me to find the picture. I tried to tell him I couldn't find it and he flipped out. Ha, yeah. My parents are kind of driving me up the wall, but I guess it's good for me. At least I'm being somewhat productive. Lately, I really feel the need to not leave my home...at all. If I can, I try to stay home as often as possible. It's kind of hardcore sometimes. There will be days where I will not change out of my pajamas at all. It is fantastic. I never really realized how great being a hermit is. My parents don't constantly nag me for going out and I don't have to put on sunblock to protect my pasty skin. =] Score for me. I will admit that towards the afternoon, I am bored like crazy because I can't really think of anything to do. I don't want to watch T.V. because I'm sick of it and I don't want to read because I don't want to think. So, I just sit on the couch staring off into space wondering what I could do. Sooner or later it is 9 pm and I suddenly have the urge to watch dramas. I stay up late in order to watch dramas, even though I could have watched those dramas earlier in the day. I'm just not in the mood for dramas in the afternoon. Kind of strange, huh?

This concludes the most random blog ever. Peace.

clothes malfuntions

In this past week, I have had TWO major clothes malfunctions. One in Manhattan, New York and one in Sacramento, California. You know you have bad luck, when your clothes disobey you in two different states.


1) New York
I was in New York in order to go to my middle sister's graduation and a few friends of mine asked me to get them " I <3 NY" shirts. I needed to purchase two colored shirts and four white shirts. My oldest sister and I were walking around the city looking for the best bargain on shirts. We have so far only seen 3 white shirts for $10. That was still too expensive, until we came across this little tourist shop that sold 4 white shirts for $10.99 and 2 colored shirts for $10. My sister and I were super excited because those shirts were the cheapest so far. We clearly purchased the shirts and walked on are way. My mom wanted us to get tank tops with the same logo so we walked into another shop to get the tank tops. During our search, we saw the most horrendous thing. There were shirts with the signs "5 white shirts for $10 and 3 colored shirts for $10". My sister and I were devastated. we had lost a whole dollar and two shirts. We decided that what was done was done and that we would just forget about the whole situation. Then we saw a different shop selling 6 white shirts for $10! AHHHH! What the hell? We were angry about it until we got back to the apartment. My friends better love those shirts.

2) California
Today, I decided to wear a pleated mini skirt. The outfit was cute and I was off to school. On my walk, I felt my skirt fall a bit, but I had just assumed that the skirt was just to big for me. The more I walked the more the skirt would slip. I felt the back of my skirt and I felt, not a zipper, but fabric. I felt the fabric to my underwear! The zipper had come undone and my skirt was essentially falling off of me. I was so humiliated! Why don't the people behind me say anything?! I rushed quickly to my first period class and asked one of the Korean girls to help me zip my skirt back up (of course I spoke to her in Korean). T.T Bad things happen to good people.

vampires and pretty korean boys

Nation:
something amazing has happened to me.

Twilight and Boys Over Flowers happened to me.

No joke, I really love Twilight and I really love the korean version of Boys Over Flowers. Let's take a look at why those two things give me a reason to live my life.

1) Twilight
When I first saw this movie in the cinema, I was thoroughly . . . aggravated! Freaking, I paid a bunch a good $10 plus online fees to see this movie, and it was total crap. Kristen Stewart can only do the whole "i'm-an-angsty-moody-and-awkward-teenager" bit and she doesn't even do it well. The way she acts is like a classmate with a booger in his nose. You want to tell him that he needs to blow his nose, but you don't want to be rude; and yet you can't stop staring at that humungo booger. Yeah, that is Kristen Stewart to me. And then there is Robert Pattinson. He's lucky that he's hot! Robert Pattinson was so weird! Edward is supposed to be all suave and seductive, but Robert was all awkward and trying not to talk in a British accent. Freaking, half his lines were so forced. It made me feel uncomfortable watching him. He just tried way too hard and it did not come through. Also, the movie didn't even go into detail! Directors always say how the movie would have been too long and what not. Twilight was straight up, two hours and nothing. Does Catherine Hardwicke not know how crazy Twilight fans are? When you're a fan-pire you would be more than willing to sit through a six and a half hour movie that is exactly like the book. But no. Instead Hardwicke created that garbage she calls Twilight. The weird thing is that I bought the DVD the moment it came out. Not only did I buy the DVD the first day it came out, but I watched TWICE in that one day. I then watched the day after, and the day after that. I seriously watched that movie about ten times since the day I got it. I don't know why. It's like I'm waiting for the movie to get better, but each time I watch, the movie sucks, like always. I think I watch the movie for that hottie Robert Pattinson. Because he is so good-looking and makes me swoon (his face also makes me want to have his babies) I forgive Twilight for sucking ultimate balls.

2) Boys Over Flowers

There are actually four reasons why I loved this korean drama so much.
1.
2.
3.
4.
These boys are incredibly cute, it almost hurts. They are just so pretty. On Monday and Tuesday nights, I would plan my day out accordingly. First I would do homework and at 6:00 I would watch that hour of pure entertainment. I can only really say good things about Boys Over Flowers. The boys were cute and the drama was good. Of course there were a few scenes that made my face go 0.0, but other than that the drama was all sorts of awesome. There was such a hype about it too. F4 would be in the newspapers all the time and my dad told me that when he was in Korea, Monday and Tuesday nights at 9:20 pm there would be no cars on the streets and no people walking on the sidewalk. Everyone was too busy watching Boys Over Flowers. The only problem with that show is that it makes me raise my standards with a guy. I want a guy like Yoon Ji Hoo (#2). He's quiet, incredibly good looking, sweet, caring, wonderful, smart, musical, beautiful, generous, beautiful, good personality, did I mention BEAUTIFUL? I am never going to get married because I want that perfect Korean fantasy! I want the guy to love me so much that he would be okay with the friend zone just so that he could stay close. I want a guy to love me so much that he would come find me whenever I call him or when he just wants to see me. I want a guy to be smart, witty, and charming. I want a guy to be able to play guitar and piano for me. I want a guy to be athletic. I want the guy to be tall. I basically want Kim Hyun Joong (the guy who plays Yoon Ji Hoo). What? Jandi doesn't love you? Eff her! I'll love you!!! But now that Boys Over Flowers is over, my tuesday nights are super sad. Monday is still awesome because of Heroes. Yeahhhh
