Link Light Rail: a Love-Hate story.

Link Rail frustrates me a lot.

There’s just something about it that makes me think that it only wants to appeal itself to the white knowledgable recycling middle class of Seattle.

Okay, the majority of Seattle.

Recently, the bus route 42 was changed into route 107. Route 42 went from my neighborhood directly to downtown Seattle, a 45 minute – 1 hour ride. It went along Rainier, turned to Renton Avenue, and then on to Martin Luther King where it would continuously run to join up with Rainier and turn onto Dearborn as it paralleled with Chinatown and ended up in Downtown Seattle. The bus was always busy, filled mainly with minorities considering the path it ran on. It went right by Phuoc Loc Tho (PLT), the Vietnamese-orientated shopping area too.

This is where my criticism of Seattle’s Sound Transit system comes in. Many people I meet o nthe 42 bus are elderly Asians. First generation immigrants, I would assume. They have went  on the 42 bus, like my mom, for years and years and years. It’s routine.

Now that’s changed to the 107 bus which runs from somewhere down in Renton to Rainier and ends there. The idea of this route is to encourage people to use the Link Rail system. I’m fine with walking a block and taking the Light Rail. But I’m more worried about it’ll impact that old lady sitting next to me that keeps asking how to get to PLT and Asian Counseling Referral Service and Chinatown. Their routines are screwed up. If they were me, they’d easily learn to adapt and know that the Link Rail goes directly to the Othello Station and the ID Station.

Did you know the Metro paper transfers work on Link Rail as well? Because I doubt many people know that. The first day my mom and I rode it, there was a security check [surprise!] and we all had to show our tickets. I had the Husky Pass and my mom had a paper transfer. It was all fine and dandy. Using the paper transfers is very convenient because you can bypass the machines.

But that’s all going to end at the end of this year. So after that, my mom will have to navigate the machines and get a “Link Rail Upgrade”. I’ve used those machines and trust me, it’s VERY TEDIOUS. It’s also all in English so what happens to the minorities that now have to switch buses take 3 buses to get to Chinatown. Or walk 2 or 3 blocks so they could get to their bus stop. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WINTER COMES. I’ve complained to Metro bus drivers and they agree and hope that somehow, there will be an interpreter service on those machines that will help the Asian population, especially those who have English as their Second Language or non-English speaking at all.

Link Rail is very convenient indeed. But I just wish that they would do something to coax more people on it because Rainier/MLK is one of the most diverse populations in the WHOLE CITY. Plus, a lot of commuters are those who are older and unable to drive and that’s why they use the bus in the first place. I know that all this is due to budget cutbacks but this sudden [or so it seems] switch-up of bus routes is just too much, too fast.

phase II: college.

COLLEGE IS HERE.

AND I’M GOING TO BE A NICER PERSON.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS HERE I COME!

———————

Move in day is Thursday and I’ll be in the area because I’m going to be buying books off craigslist. Yea! I’m so jealous of everything. Move in day. Dorming. Late night Dawg Daze Events that I WON’T be able to attend [LATE NIGHT SHOPPING AT FRED MEYER? DODGEBALL?] But that’s fine fine fine because I’m anxious to start NOW. Okay, maybe it’s just so I can be in a lecture hall with 400 kids and feel what it would feel like to be 1 out of 1000. BUT NO! I WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO BEING LOST IN THE MASSES. I WILL BREAKOUT [HOPEFULLY NOT ON MY FACE ...] OF THE MOLD!

That is, if I’m able to. Definitely trying. Badminton club. VSA. Swimming. Peanut Butter and Jelly Club? [With Anna]. Har har har.

Cute asian guys at UW. I’ve seen them around. They’re DEFINITELY there. And no, Ally. They’re not all FOBs. Only 50% of them. But I have a feeling that I won’t have that much time to be diddlydallying around. [I shouldn't be either considering I'M TAKEN]. I should get my ass on that chemistry book RIGHT NOW if I had the brains too. For some reason, I have this weird idea that somehow I will find a friend in Communications class that will end up having either Physics/Chemistry with me and we’ll be all buddy-buddy and skip into the glorious sunset together. Or huddle under a small umbrella in treacherous rain depending what what month I ACTUALLY make a friend. I’m giving putting my bets on November 5th, give or take a few days. That will be the day I make a good friend. Take it or leave it, yo.

I’ve been SO stressed out these last two days because my first pick of Work Study jobs DIDN’T WORK OUT. On a slightly but still connected to the topic tangent, I was watching teh season premiere of Heroes [HIRO'S!] and Claire’s, the cheerleader’s, roommate made me laugh SO hard. I mean, she had the next 10 years of her life planned out on a pink cardboard sheet of paper with glittery stars and arrows and PICTURES. Then she ended up being thrown out the dorm window and bleeding her guts out on the floor below. Sadness. ANYWAYS. THAT WAS MY POINT.

….In case you missed it. I was trying to point out that you shouldn’t PLAN things so far ahead because they will not go according to plan. I was NOT trying to say that planning your life ahead for the next ten years is bad because you could potentially die tomorrow…kind of.

Anyways, relative to my Work Study. I was kind of placing all my chips on this one job and I didn’t realize that they were looking for someone with big chunks of hours in their school schedule for the job. Which I don’t. Because when I was planning my schedule, I wanted enough time to be lazy between classes and grab food, but not have huge gaps where I would have classes until 8pm or whatnot. AND NOW I HAVE TO LOOK FOR A JOB WITH A WEEK UNTIL SCHOOL.

gah.

The only big opening for me is working in the gift shop of the UWMC which I would have PLENTY of experience in CONSIDERING I FREAKING WORK IN A STORE NOW. I DON’T WANT TO WORK IN ANOTHER PLACE LIKE THAT. ]: But I don’t have data-entry experience and the other positions have been filled. *sigh. There was another position working with Occupation Therapy in Pediatrics WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH DREAMY…but I screwed that up because I sent my resume in with the objective line UNEDITTED so it says “Seeking a Student Assistant position in the Biology Department” because I had just applied for the Bio department earlier. So now, the person is probably thinking “god this girl is so unorganized and doesn’t look over her papers”.

Fail.

Yes, Izzy. We are failures together. BUT NO WORRIES. WE WILL BOUNCE BACK AND BE BRIGHT AND SHINY LIKE ANNA FUN! ^^

Shawn’s at UCLA and he’s basically having the time of his life. Frat parties with ASIANS. Being invited to Badminton club. He’s totally going to forget about me oogling all the blondes which move in packs. Which I commented and said “Like Harry Potter?” which I don’t really think he got. BUT OTHER HP FANS WOULD. GOD. JOKE FAIL. But there was a very tender moment where he said my panda was getting lint-y. Which really made me wistful because HE STILL HAS THE PANDA I GAVE HIM FROM LAST YEAR AND HE BROUGHT IT TO UCLA AND I WAS MAKING SUCH A BIG DEAL THAT HE DID AND HE NONCHALANTLY SAID “YEA. I DID BRING IT”. I wanted to cry. ><”

Speaking of repeating the word FAIL, SYDNEY IS MOVING IN! AND WE’RE EXCITED! AND COLLEGE! YAY! MASSES OF HOMEWORK! YAY!

The Dean of Undergraduate Academic Affairs lives right by the store so he stops by occasionally. And he’s a really nice guy that looked into my record before I even got my acceptance later, and then a few days after I got it, he came in and inquired whether I got in or not. And when I said “yes”, he said good job and that he knew I would because have a good application. =O STOP LOOKING AT MY STUFF ><” Creepy to know more about me than my parents [who have no idea what I wrote as my college essay!] But all in all, he stopped by yesterday and asked me if I chose my advisor yet.

AM I SUPPOSE TO KNOW HOW TO DO ALL THIS STUFF ALREADY? I DON’T KNOW. WHERE ARE THE ADVISORS?!?!?!

I ended up dumbly/lamely saying “I have yet to because I wanted to see how my classes turn out”. He told me stop by Mary Gates Hall [at least I know where THAT is] and say Hi and that the advisors are on the first floor. YAY FOR FREE KNOWLEDGE. Can I use my connections to get ahead in school? Maybe? xD I’ll be needing all I can get.

Okay. Well. This post was hugely about college and it’s really lengthy and not real fun. But it’s really the biggest thing in my life. Besides the kitchen being DONE. [:

Pictures soon~!

open ended questions.

so it’s my last staying up til 3am night of the summer because why the hell would i stay up til 3am in Seattle. the only reason i stay up late here is because of the blazzzzzin’ wifi so i am able to watch my porn in peace when everyone is sleeping. jk. more like, i talk to shawn.

— speaking of shawn. im a tad bit ticked because he said he would be online to talk to me tonight since it IS my last night of fast webcamming and whatnot which i won’t be able to do in Seattle. but he didn’t show. so i called him via Skype — more on that later — to see what’s up and he’s at a friends house? wtf? i mean, okay. i try not to be the clingy type but maybe i am! did i NOT tell him that i get DIALUP in seattle? gah. i know i’m being pesky but i just really would like to see him for the last time for a while. IM NEEDY. rawh. —-

and then i indulge in my allkpop.com [which i do realize gets news way faster than popseoul. but popseoul gets more cynical and funny and totally biased] and my online shopping and my youtube. bytheway, i stumbled upon this guy on youtube because of the “top watched” videos of the day.

peter chao? http://www.youtube.com/user/pyrobooby

he’s…i don’t know! i mean, he’s clearly faking that accent and he’s just…irritating as “fahk”. but i don’t know why i just had to watch most of his videos! i mean, its like profanity x10. and when i watch it, it’s just like “………o…my…god…what the hell am i watching…” and its just…so…i don’t know! people say you have to be able to laugh at yourself, but he takes that FOB stereotype to the fullest extreme. i cringe watching it but i can’t stop. it’s like that car crash on the freeway that you HAVE to slow down to see everytime and say “wow, i wonder if anyone died” to. okay i don’t know what kind of analogy that was but, all i’m trying to say is that he’s so crude but so freaking ridiculous.

but yes, it’s my last evening, night, whatever in Iowa. im going to miss it but i need to go back to my room im Seattle as well. my vacation here has ending with a in a spray painting daze. i got these rainboots at a garage sale and they fit amazingly but they’re just pink. really really really barbie pink. so i decided to do what any person would do to shoes they don’t like the color of [besides not buy them] — i spray painted them black. though it was more like my brother who spray painted them for me. i just stuck on dots and the paint tape on places that i didn’t want to get black. now they look like some random army boots i got from at trash can. haha, jk. they’re drying so i actually don’t know. we’ll see how they turn out. they were only five dollars so that’s okay if they don’t turn out so great.

i also watched harry potter tonight. overall, i would say it’s an okay movie. i understood what alysonman meant when she said it was boring, then good, then boring, then good. my brother [who has never read any of the books] said he liked it because there was more action. and i must admit, there was more action. the romance was quite stifling though. and what the heck was with the whole ron weasley’s house being burnt down part. err, was that in the book? i mean, what the heck? just adding in random scenes for the hell of it? it felt more like running around for no point. and i was looking forward to all the dueling that was suppose to happen in the castle and the fighting back against the death eaters thing. students against bad guys! i mean, where was all that?!? just harry running around chasing snape down?

on a very lighter note, hermione granger is looking absolutely gorgeous in that movie. [: im absolutely intrigued where she got that SO SO cute peacoat. the checked one she wore a lot paired with the scarves.if anyone knows, please drop a line please?! 

for the skyping topic, i just did my very first phone call via skype and it was crystal clear! it was quite funny because shawn absolutely did not know who the hell i was at first so he talked to me in chinese [wei? wei? ni wei?] and im like “its hao you dodo.”. but yes, i am thinking about geting DSL for my house because i figured i’ll be needing to get faster internet for school. it’s an easy argument for me to give to my parents too. they’d rather have me study at home then at the library at UW. haha. but yes, maybeeeee sometime soon i won’t have to wait half an hour to load a MV from Big Bang.

also, night market for seattle is coming up. i’m considering asking my parents if i can volunteer with VSA there since i am now joined as a member. it should be fun and a good way for me to be introduced in with the people. i’m serious about joining too and maybe hopefully becoming an official in the future? VSA is Vietnamese Students Association. Night market is this thing held in the summer in the International District which is basically a mini fair with lots of food vendors and a night movie showing on a big projector set outside. it’s just simple fun.

well, it’s 3:30 am so i will head to sleep now. just packing up tomorrow so nothing so busy. i will definitely miss my late night eating out at taco bell or steak n shake and watching movies. and playing scrabble and upwords [amazingly competitive.] but i’m ready to head home. i can’t wait for school to start!

…even though you’ll be hearing about how much i can’t wait for break to start 5 days into the school year. [:

ttfn!

if i were a boy…

i see what beyonce is saying now. boys > girls.

…only not in the heartbreak sense. i just mean they get to do all the fun stuff!

huge break since the last post and i’ll start with what’s recent. i’m currently in iowa. for 19 days i’ll be hanging with my brother’s family including my two darling-when-they’re-behaving nephews. and i’ll also be practicing my not-so-great driving skills soon.

it’s great so far. in fact, absolutely fantastic…considering i don’t do much in seattle anyways.

yesterday, i chopped wood. i enhanced my biceps brachii and brachialis muscles. my brother didn’t let me use that huge ax though because knowing me, i’d probably chop my leg off before i even hit anything with the blade. so i got the hammer and the ________. i really don’t know what it’s called but it’s the triangular thing that you pound into the middle of the log and then repeatedly hit it with the hammer until it splits the log? yea. fun stuff. it’s AMAZING anger management.

and then after that, we went fishing! it was horrible though because the fish were BITING LIKE CRAZY. and i didn’t catch many. only about 3. but on both sides of me, my brother and his wife were catching them by the seconds. as soon as they casted their line, a fish would bite right away. and sometimes it was only seconds apart and i would stand there and say “oh my god” and become a bit more insane. yepp. i think i must have killed over 10 “nightcrawlers” and i started feeling their screams everytime i dug my nails into their body to cut them into halves and then slide it onto the hook. (i’m so going to hell for killing worms.) but i guess i was hooking it wrong or something because the fish had a good dinner… i lost so many .. =/

and so my brother says he’ll take my catfish fishing at night [because they come out at night or something] and i asked how it was different from regular fishing. he says the catfish weight more. well, obviously. five-ten pounds. my arms are going to DIE if i have to reel one in.

and then today, we went kite flying. i haven’t been kite flying since i was seven or so with my kite made of paper and chopsticks and gift wrapper ribbon [hella asian.] my dad made them for me so it always flew amazingly. so yea, today was pretty great too. i had no idea what i was doing so my brother had to show me how to pull on the strings and what to do when it nosedives [which it kept on doing for the first three times or so i was able to get it up] and when there’s no wind. it was pretty sweeeeeet. there wasn’t much wind so we couldn’t fly huge kites so i got to fly my nephew’s mickey mouse kite. haha. and it went heckaaaaa high too because i had extra long string =D

and now, i just finished a nightly scrabble game [i pwn at scrabble] in which i won by a large margin and am now settling in to bed and finishing up watching coraline. coraline is an okay movie so far. im not watching it in 3D and i know that the original movie had many parts in 3D so i keep on thinking i’m missing out on 3D parts. which makes the movie unenjoyable for ]: but the colors are preeeeeeeeettty. so yes. that’s iowa so far.

seattle? i’m so glad to be away from the weather there. it’s like freaking 90s -100 when i left.the last day i was there, it had the highest temperature EVER for seattle. EVER. talk about global warming. it makes me even THINK of recycling. =P

advising and orientation was the shizzzzzzz. kinda. at first it was the shit. and then it was the shizzzz. haha. i think i made three new friends there. all girls [omg!]. notice i said “i think?”. i’m quite horrible with people. and awkward. and just plain mean and sarcastic. hence my not-so-many-friends.  but anyways. i stayed the night and my roomate was this girl named roxanna from socal. she’s from china [seriously! she has a green card] but she’s been here like, all her life. i wonder why doesn’t go for citizenship but i didn’t probe her because i’ve only known her for a day anyways. she was pretty awesome. gorgeeeeeeeous and she was all applying makeup and straightening and curling and hair and whatnot while i sat there and looked at my zitty complexion in the mirror. T______T” and then the other two [kimberly and maricza] i met thru sydney, my good friend from middle school, during lunchtime. they’re all dorming [syd's apartmenting] which makes me so jealous. and it was really weird because i wanted some asian guys to scope out y’know? but i swear, about 84% of my A&O that day were white. and like, jocks and cool cliques people white too. it was horrrrrrible. but ohwell, i had fun anyways.

and then that weekend i went to portland for baby Tam’s one month. SHE IS SO ADORABLEEEE. and she grew SO MUCH in TWO WEEKS. ohmygosh! that little girl is heading on the american path of obesity at age 1month already! [JUST KIDDING PEOPLE.] it was so crowded though and i thoroughly got sick of my sister barking orders at me. I HAD TO WORK THE GRILL OUTSIDE IN 90 DEGREE TEMPERATURE. i mean, ITS CHILD LABOR. so i ended up escaping to her friends’ house and napping.

speaking of that, her gay couple friends got married in hawaii! i watched their home video of the ceremony and the proposal and whatnot [it was a surprise] and it made me crrrrrrrry. it was just soooo sweeet and sooo endearing because the proposee did not know it was coming and was just freaking out and unprepared.  and the background of hawaii…it was truly a very emotional and magical ceremony. and since it was a surprise one, there wasn’t a lot of people. just the main family of both sides and close friends [my sister couldn't go. she was really really sad about it but they married when Tam was just born]. but yes, we [me and her friends] talked about what kind of setting is good for a wedding too. oh, btw. these are the friends that got me drinks at my sister’s wedding and know about my lovelife and tell me to crash at their place if i ever get kicked out and have the theory that learning to drink alcohol in a safe encironment [that is, under THEIR supervision] is better than me going to a random party and getting drunk and whatever trouble there is [which is probably true]. =)

and then, on the wednesday after that weekend. i flew to iowa. so here i am now. and i will go to sleep because it’s actually 1:42am. and i’m a bit tired after scrabble. mentally tired.

kthxbyeeee.

summer cut.

i got my hair cut today after being prodded much by my boyfriend. it’s a bit long isn’t it. actually, not really but i like short hair anyways so i got it cut.

it’s not the worst hair ever and it’s not the best hair ever. it’s weird when you’re sitting in the haircut seat and whatnot and being talked to by the stylist and when it’s all over and done, you think it looks great and stuff. well, that happiness lasted me about 4 hours.

after much fussing and looking in reflective tinted car windows, i have come to the conclusion that i need bangs. not the heavy set across the eye bangs but more of the side swept or at least some layering in the front of my face. the back of my head looks fine but i dont think the angle from the front of my face looks nice ): 

my haircut DOES look fine with a headband though ^^ but sadly, i would prefer to keep my zit infested forehead under wraps so that idea is unpreferable. waaaaaaaaah if i wanted to get it fixed, i would have to do another haircut. *sigh.

at least hair grows in though right? not like it really matters. i’ll just get use to it and not give a damn after a while. heh.

 

it was mother’s day. we went out for dimsum and foodstuff at Venus Restaurant in Phuoc Loc Tho. Woot woot. my brother paid which is a huge surprise.  man it was crowded… the food was okay. we ended up getting two large to-go boxes and then FORGOT them at the restaurant ><” what a waste of money..

now im hungry. dinner time (:

 

(btw. no pictures of my hair. i am ASHAMED.)

because you know you wanna go deaf.

so today is asaturday and this saturday i woke up at 11 and bussed to the store with mom because apparently, we’re doing that switch of schedules where we go to the asian market for home groceries on friday evening and then sam’s and walmart on saturday evening for store groceries and everyone can stay home in and be lazy on sunday. anyways. it’s different. but i guess it’s okay. whatever.

so we’re on the bus and all of a sudden i’m hearing music. the kind that comes out of some mp3 jerk that’s playing it too loud in headphones and everyone within  a 2 feet radius can hear it loud and clear. and i KNOW i’m not going crazy because i look around and people are wondering where it’s coming from to. or at least i can tell on their faces that they’re KINDA annoyed (including me, who is actually reading on the bus which is unusual since i am usually also plugged into my iPod but i am very fascinated with my “current” bookread *see note to the right –>) anyways. so this person HAS to be listening to their music  on max volume or something because this is the 42 bus we’re talking about. the bus that goes through MLK and Rainier Ave and picks up loudass chinese grandmas and loudspeaker cellphone toting teenagers. though none of the latter was actually on the bus, there was an old korean grandpa sitting in the back, yelling into his cell phone (i don’t think he was really meaning to yell..note to self..write blog about this later.) anyways, so over this ruckus, i could hear the music.

and i’m craning my head looking over seats and wondering who the fuck is going deaf in front of me. and i’m thinking it’s the teenage black guy sitting in the front. stereotype. yes, hate me. but who else could it be. the granny lady? i’m sitting near the FRONT afterall. and plus, it makes sense that the song i was hearing at the time was Flo Rida’s Low. so i’m like “ugh” and goes back to reading but several minutes later… i know who it is. it’s the damn asian girl sitting to the front on my left. the asian girl. the fobby one with the highlights in her hand and manicured fingers and skinny jeans and painted toenails (i know cuz she was wearing flip flops. in a rainstorm.) ohmygod. 

and you know how i know? because the song changed from Low to Eat You Up by BoA. and i don’t know any non-asians that listen to that song. mygod.

 

i’ll eat you up. so yum yum~~ la la la

nugga-win!

i just thought of something funny.

what if your name was nguyen nguyen.

okay, it’s not that funny.
but that’d be interesting
and no, it’s not the same name being repeated twice considering that vietnamese people have an actual first name of nguyen. and it’s pronounce differently than the normal last name of nguyen. spelled same, different accents.

and plus, i really really hate it when teachers STILL say the last name wrong. i mean, 85% or vietnamese people have that last name (sadness that my niece will end up with it and not something way awesome like TONG) so it shouldn’t be mispronounced anymore.

it’s not nuggawin. it’s not nuh-goo-win.  it’s not new-gin. it’s not new-gun. it’s not new-gwin. and its particularly horrible when they say nuh-goo-yun.

and it’s definately not “win!” (even though if you really can’t say the word, i wouldn’t exactly be offended by ‘win” cause it’s the closest of the bunch).

& and trust me, i’ve heard all versions said above. that’s the sad part.

 

anyways. the cloest i guess you can get for an American is…

nuh-win. 
here: http://inogolo.com/pronunciation/Nguyen

anyways.
i read an article saying how Seattle University has classes for teachers to learn more about cultural languages, especially names so that they can make their international students feel more at home (haha as if! dude, the student is in a foreign country. how the heck is SU going to be HOME. not even close. unless they’re a snobby Jesuit kid. even then, maybe.) more comfortable in a new environment. i do say bravo to these classes due to the fact that my name gets mispronounced way too often. and i mean, it’s not even that hard. following the rules of grammar, ‘ha’ = HA and add an ‘o’ and it becomes HA-OH. so. say if fast. HAO. HOW. 

duh.

though i must admit, having a viet name like ngoc is really hard for teachers =/

and i was going to name my kid that too. gah!

 

 

——

on a second note. it’s a gorgeous fuhreaking day. i just went out to the park//beach//water near my parent’s store and read. and now im going to sleep. and i will play ddr all my lonesome self this weekend. i actually want to go to the museum.. apparently we’re going to that new crawfish restaurant in ID tonight. im craving some bubble tea. i want it to be 70 plus degrees! i am shopping for baby clothes online. did okay on my chem quiz. i maybe spending my weekend on the phone. i want to wear a skirt. i need to shine my nails because they are getting dull. my skin is pissing me off. i realized that a 30GB hard drive is tiny and that this new dell laptop my dad uses has a 100GB and its super fast and i can watch YouTube WAY better. Awesome. hopefully i will be able to transfer those videos i meant to post up on youtube to this comp to edit.

hm.

okay. my mom wants to watch movies now. grawr!

a jerk with a crooked nose and extra love handles please

so i was online doing the usual stuff [that is, shopping eBay for smurfs and buying an anaconda on the black market] when i ended up in an asian teenage-girl dominated forum. asian because it was filled with  >< , >>, <<, T_T” type smileys and teenage-girl because it was also filled with OHMYGOD’s and lots and lots of hearts and …of course, half-naked guy picture posts.

 

…half naked guys because the threads were to answer a question posted. it was something along the lines [more like, exactly along the lines] of “Your ideal guy”

and i mean, it was like i was being sucked into a vortex of endless girl-talk and i could already hear the screaming and arguing and the squeals of delight file transferring of pictures of male celebrities. with this site being of the asian variety such as soompi or something, the male celebrities in this case aren’t brad pitt or josh hartnett [is he still hot?] but ones like…

 

 

i don’t know my asian hotties list because i’ve actually never given it a thought. but. i do like..shiwon from super junior. *ahem. =D and … er. i guess ally just told me about daniel henney and he’s quite lovely. and i like joo ji hoon of Goong and. uhm. i guess a new one would be wang lee hom. he WAS pretty sexy in Lust, Caution..

let’s go back the the site [as much as i hate to, *shudders*] and get some excerpts! beware: extremely girlish behavior coming up next. puke bowl advisory.

———————————-

Hmm…my ideal Asian guy look:
-Japaneses
-Honk Kong fashion
-handsome
-artsy
-smart
-the typical Asian man hair (longish)
-dress hip-hopish/classic (like the dudes Hana Yori Dango-Rui)
-the models that appear on touch or milk
-drives a sport ccar jk
..that is all i can think of for know… sweatingbullets.gif

———————————–

WTF IS HONK KONG FASHION. Lol. I know I know, just a typo…And Japaneses? Err…. way to like, exclude the other asians. okay, the artsy smart handsome things i get. And oh yea, Rui from Hana Yori Dango IS pretty sizzlin’ but not in the way that I think most girls would like (aka, looks). I think it’s his charming personality (as seen in the drama) that enhances his attractiveness. His looks are just …an accessory. Not a necessity .(as I’ve joked with my boyfriend about how he’s an accessory. jk!) . back to the thing…WHAT IS A MODEL THAT APPEARS ON TOUCH OR MILK!?

 

rui. squeeeeee~!

———————————-

im a guy but no to kangta, yes to gdragon.

yes to lee seung gi
yes to jang dong gun
yes to wonbin
yes to me.

———————————-

ROFL. THIS IS CRACCCKED ME UP.

———————————-

An ideal asian guy look.. I’ve always been super attracted to guys with..
*pale flawless skin, hahaha ’tis true!
*a lighter shade of hair colour? a honey brown imo is gorgeous ;]
*slender and tall body

 

 

 


Mmm..
rolleyes.gif

—————————–

Mmm..Pale flawless skin reminds me of Edward from Twilight.. AHHH <3333 (=

and WHAT is brown imo…?~?!!?~?~?!?!?!?

anyways. back to reality? we all have our dream people right? i don’t really though. i don’t wish for some celebrity that i’ll most likely never get. i’m simple. i’m happy with what i’ve got. and when you don’t have someone. then dream. but ladies, be realistic. Kim Jaejoong is never going to give you a second glance. And if you like korean styles and korean haircuts and stuff? Go date a korean guy. Do something about it.

미안해요 (I’m Sorry) – Gummy ft. TOP

Browsing music videos again. This one struck a chord with me. Like…the ending. His face when he saw the picture…I feel this stab of pain in my chest and I start tearing up. The storyline itself is quite sad, and I like it because you don’t have to understand korean to understand what the story says though I was confused cuz I thought it was two different guys at first. But it’s really the same guy. Omg. T.O.P is soooooooooooooo freaking hot!
