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!

it’s time to go.

미치겠어 . ♥

life rushes by and yet i’m still standing here wondering what happened the best of the past and what i should expect of the future. graduation is tomorrow and night, and really, i don’t want to go. it’s true. 2 years away from the people i love and my second home has truly made me an outsider. throw in my parents and my home-life and i could easily live my life out as a aestetic in the forest or something. 4 years ago, i can still remember standing at a certain corner in the hallway of school in the morning and exactly where my french classroom was. heck, i still remember mcbennet’s highly ironic stories of running into past bf and realizing how small the world is. 4 years later, i am estranged from my friends, hiding in the corner as messages of “let’s hang out” are turned down and phone calls ignored. i really shouldn’t. i know i don’t want to live my life as a loner. i don’t. but lately it’s been more of a passiveness about me. i like solitude. i am wholehearted (literally) clinging onto the one person who is currently my life and world because soon, he will leave me too.

selfish right? the fact that i wrote he will leave “me” too. as if the world revolves around me. hm, how does the story go. the boy meets girl one? boy meets girl. girl meets boy. they fall in love. blah blah. the end? as i sat tending to my sick boyfriend this morning, i realize that things do end. the words “the end” are true. what isn’t true is the happily ever after. all stories may have open endings where anything happens but it will always have a “the end”.

this is the video i watched as i sat in his quiet apartment, headphones plugged in, silently letting my tears fall.

school has been particularly stressful. wanna see my zits?

EW.

yes. ew. it should go onto one of those acne forums where people discuss what latests zit products to use. hahaha.  btw, my skin wasn’t all that bad. i just stopped taking my pills…so..they started popping up. but it’s true. school has been crazy. we’re doing handstands in yoga (that’s how crazy it is!). communications is a bit off schedule but i did my speech and basically nailed it. anatomy is going to kill me since all cells look alike to me. and it’s not like i even go to astronomy. but it’s the last quarter and i must say goodbye to my temporary home of seattle central once again. i truly love central. it’s just, so… i don’t know. you meet so many different people and it’s funny to see how often you run into a person you know even after 2 years. though the people i know always seem to be guys…ohdarn.

life has been pretty steady lately though. only because i haven’t done anything out of the ordinary. i think i’ve settled down into my whole not-being-able-to-go-out thing. but it’s def. been spotaneous with my nephews and brother and sister-in-law over for vacation. here are some pics! (:

oh yes, we’re so cool. hey! you can see my dark tooth! lol.

btw, i got this new hp tablet with a webcam and microphone so maaaaaaaaybes i can do a video. that is most likely after i get everything done as in school and whatnot. so. yea..

we’ll my time in the library is up. i’m going home.

wishes for this week

-graduation will go well

-i start recognizing the difference between serous, mucous, and mast cells.

-my boyfriend gets way much much better….and chooses UW. (the latter being very far-fetched)

-getting won’s email!

-a new phone maybes? (:

-less zit outbreaks

-chilling more with the lil ones. it’s their last week here!

youtube flood.

it’s been a while since I’ve posted something youtubey on here. so let’s go!

first is of course is suju’s new MV for “It’s You” off their [new?] repackaged album. My mate already posted it but I think she posted the leaked version, but I’m not so sure. 

SUPER JUNIOR — IT’S YOU.

Yes, Ki Bum is back. But with what? A few smiley/teary face shots? C`’MON. We need some love here and his lovely voice (albeit there is no rapping parts in that song, but ohwell). And yes I drooled during Choi Siwon. That jacket he’s wearing is a sexy piece of fabric. And Kyu~!  The song is way better than Sorry Sorry (though I still like Monster) and it’s been on repeat for…2 days and is about to invade my Top 25 list. The chest thump thumping (yes, I know it’s call ‘popping’ but y’know. it’s cuter to say thump thumping [: ) ! ! ! WOOT WOOT. xD 

2NE1 -- FIRE. [2 versions: Street & Space]

Of course since I’m such a Big Bang, who wouldn’t be eager to see what the so-named “female counterpart of Big Bang” had to offer. And as addicting Lollipop was, it was way to bubblegum tastelike. WG and SNSD could do that genre better. I must admit, that although their new song is great, I am skeptical of what they have to offer. Their voices are synthesized so much and their dance moves haven’t quite been developed. Minji really amazed me for being 14 (I think?) though. She’s got spunk, that one. I think it’s different because it went the reggae way and had a different beat. Definitely something G-Dragon would do (considering he played a huge part in making the song). Lots of people said they liked Space vers. better but I liked Street. I don’t know. Just my preference. But yes, a good song that has also certainly racked up plays on iTunes.

LEARN KOREAN W/ YUNHO

Ah.hahahahah. I only found this after searching for how ot say “you are cute” in korean. Well I know now, kinda. But I don’t know how the whole spelling thing goes. But this is just SO FUNNY. It will go well with my plan to buy some chocolate milk and show off to Comm. guy that I can say “yummy milk” in Korean. Mwahahaha. Only too bad he thinks im so high-matinence bitch after I asked Yoon to toss away my milk for me. *sigh. I can never keep my mouth shut.

 

on the other hand. —-

 

grey’s anatomy teasers for season finale 

just 2 teasers that (1) made me angry and (2) made me laugh. I’m sure you know which one is which.

MAN ALEX YELLING AT IZZY? GR. But I understand it’s all because he loves and her and whatnot. It’s so bittersweet the way Alex has grown up. But once in a while, we are able to glimpse the old Alex and see how his personality is affected by the way he was raised. But Izzie and Alex. I love them to death. I do. The scene of when Alex lifted Izzie in her prom dress still makes me cry. But Mark and Lexie (Mexie?) are just. so sweet. 

I’m so effing excited for the SEASON FINALE tomorrow. I mean, SEASON FINALE AHH  OMG WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ON THURSDAY NIGHTS NOW. GAWDDD.

I might as well start burning Season 4 discs and watching re-runs. ):

WONG FU PRODUCTIONS — WHEN FIVE FELL.

I love Wong Fu because they do videos that are relate-able, visually stimulating, and just artistic. The trailer proves everything about them. The music always plays a huge part of their videos. I’m excited to watch this new one considering I never saw their full-feature film. I’m anxious for the day that Wong Fu can break it into the mainstream because they really do rock. They went to Cannes after all!

 

 

———

I must go home now so I will attempt to post a new one tomorrow if not tonight. There’s been a bit on my mind regarding my love and what my future holds. Maybe I’ll write poetry? It’s been a while since I’ve written something. I’m being coaxed to write once again by a close friend. I’m inspired by his spoken word writings too. GO RYAN! But anyways. Laters dude.

Epik High & F*EM in Seattle !

 

so in anatomy class today, ken comes in and the first thing he says is “are you goin’ to the epik high show?” 

me: WHAT?! 

———————

Epik High is coming to Seattle to preform on May 23rd at the Kingcat Theatre, located on 6th Avenue.

Like. Oh Em Gee. God this would be one event that I absolutely must ask my parents to go to. I mean, it’s one in a lifetime. And actually, I wanna go to this more than prom (which I have neglected to ask my parents about too). I mean, prom or Epik High in Seattle? EPIK HIGH FOR SURE. 

and and and

Ken told me that apparently they’re doing autographed copies for the first 25 people (not sure?) and selling their merchandise (of course!) at the show so no shipping and handling payments. I kind of zoned out afterwards because all I could think about were ways to convince my parents. I mean, it’s a one in a million shot of letting me go but mygod. I wish wish wish (this is way more bomb than Wong Fu because Wong Fu is located within the US so if i ever went to California, I could potentially catch one of their shows but Epik High is sadly, an ocean away). 

Speaking of Wong Fu, Far East Movement (of whom WF has made a music video for) is also part of the concert and dude, they rock too! So it’s like a double packaged deal !

Tickets are 25 dollars which is TOTALLY affordable and apparently seating is first come first get in and shove your way to the front and stake a claim. =O

……GAH I WANNA GO SO BAD. KEN’S BUYING TICKETS AND MONA IS GOING TOO! *FOAMS AT MOUTH*

 

THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN SE7EN COMING TO SEATTLE.

xD

 

[VIDEOS]

GIRLS ON THE DANCE FLOOR — FM [NOT OFFICIAL MV]

This video is great. The timing and everything is so exact and right on that I thought it was their official video. FM actually did a contest for MV submissions and I’m not sure if this one won or not, BUT IT DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE. Man, geeks and hot girls? “FM” body spray? Hahaha. JUST LIKE AXE!

 

SLOWMOTION EPIK HIGH — MAPTHESOUL.COM

EFFING HILARIOUS. This is so typical Epik High. Their expressions are priceless. And omg playing with that sneaker/shoe ? DID YOU SEE HIS EXPRESSION? And Tablo with the water running down his face. HAHA.

 

 

 

 

 

you know we’re cute.

yes, well done kevin. iiteeee. (:

 

 

i will write a bit tonight.

“care for some penis? i mean, peanuts?”

i’m feeling better. i must admit, this weather does put me in a better mood (:

it’s bluuuuuuuuuue skieeeeeees. i wish i could take pictures like in that sad depressing korean music video about the girl who was terminally ill so her boyfriend (guy friend?) would take pictures of the skie for her and she would piece it together on the ceiling of her hospital bed and see the sky all day (wow, way to turn something nice into something sad, Hao ><)

i’ll find out the song and post the video here on an edit later.

———————EDIT (FOUND IT!)

 

note: i just read the story thru the pictures. i dont understand a bit of japanese.. hai? and omg she dies in the end! SADNESS.

————————————–

anyways. i just thought i’d post a ridiculously funny video clip i watched from YouTube. i think it’s pretty much self-explanatory what it’s about. but it’s just so funny because i can easily say peanuts and not get it one bit mixed up with penis. i mean, they do NOT sound alike. unless you say “nuts” like “nis”, in which case, that’s just weird** man, i wonder what SHE has on her mind. rofl.

 

 

i swear the bank hates me. only 8 more months until i can do all mny banking on my own. man, 18 years old must be the shizzz. they added me to my brother’s (acctually mine.) saving account yet i still can’t access it from the ATM? gah. i am now going to go to nap. though i should go take a walk. maybe ill bring my camera tomorrow to take gorgeous sky pictures (:

 

 

**sidenote: does anyone say bagel, BAH-GULL? because i had a friend who called it like that and it was crazy odd. i mean, people tend to say bay-gull. o__o

random tidbits!

okay, let’s start off with a hott video? aren’t i always filled with an impeccable lust fo male korean stars that have heavy bass beats and smart dance moves. bwahah.

 

Call Me — Tae Goon [english subbed]

He’s pretty okay. I’m listening to his album right now and what I find nice is that his music has that European feel to it. The steady trance//technoish background and it’s easy (or as i’d imagine) to sing along. His voice doesn’t sound that special. Nothing really unique to it..unlike sexysexysexy TOP!  But Tae Goon does follow that kind of cliche niche of Korean male pop stars. A bit hip hop, a bit pop, catchy beats, dance moves, the ‘it’ body, the hair! xD But that’s okay. I’ll probably listen to it and forget it in a few weeks. But I’m happy for now (:

“kay. moving on——————-SCHOOL.

This is the third week of classes. Winter quarter. Computor Science. History of Asian Art. and Chemistry. Fun. Boring. Okay. I guess you you were to put them all on a scale, my quarter would be flatlining. Just because if you take a high and a low and average it out, you get a neutral. I’m pretty much attaching myself to Ken in Computor Science class because there’s only 2 (3?) girls in that class and all the other guys are creepy and intimidating. And they’re all either extremely nerdy (not a bad thing!) or extremely….not..my type. At least Ken watches Korean Dramas so we pass notes (just like girls!) about which are the best websites (laaame) and which ones to watch. Lol. Apprently the best romantic comedy is My Lovely Samsoon or something. Will do during break Ken! But yea, at least I can oogly bigbangkorean.wordpress.com in that class and Ken would totally get why I laaaahve them. Even though he always makes fun of me. History of Asian Art is really a trivial class because I like the subject. The art we look at is interesting but it seems like we haven’t really…LEARNED anything. The teacher has a crazy accent that I love/hate. There are some hilarious students in that class (including a girl I’d much to duck tape her mouth) but besides that, it’s hard for me not to fall asleep. Instead, I write….yea..stuff. I write stuff. (: Chemistry is awesome so far! I get everything we learn (except whatever that was on wavelengths and stuff..) and i acutlaly got an 85 on my exam! I beat other people! Hahaha. ><” I was actually very very surprised because I got the stuff that I thought I was good at, wrong, and the stuff I sucked at, right. Huh. 

 

regarding college: i applied to SU, WSU, UW, Stanford (AHAHAH!), and WWU. YAY!

 

‘kay. moving on———-MUSIC

I haven’t had much time lately to do anything regarding music but some of my recent downloads have been:

• Tae Goon’s 1st Mini Album 
• Wonder Girls Single — Tears
• Okay, this one I hate to admit but Gee by SNSD.  I know I know! DON”T KILL ME. THAT SONG I HATE BUT I JUST CAN’T STOP HAVING IT SCROLL ACROSS MY HEAD.. 
• Big Bang — Until Whenever (ahh love!)
• Tell Me Baby – Red Hot Chili Peppers (interestingly enough, this song is very very addicting. Esp. the chorus..)
• Over the Radio — Regina Spektor (her voice is particularly fantastic in this song. though Fidelity will always hold the most memories for me..)

 

kay. moving on———-YOUTUBE

Gosh I have these two awesome Confessions of Ally and Hao videos that I so want to put up. But my computor has been on the fritz for the past few days and so everytime I load Movie Maker, the comp freezes and then Movie Maker “has encountered and error and must close”. WHAT THE FUDGE. It’s really really really annoying. But I am hoping to get that fixed ASAP so my birthday video has company. 

Also, I have also subscribed to a few people’s videos that I have found interesting. Someone I haven’t mentioned, but I totally should, is Nat’s Videos! www.youtube.com/communitychannel. she’s ABSOLUTELY FREAKING FUNNY and half the things she says makes me say “WHOA I AGREE”. and her porno/comment time is particularly genius! and i ALWAYS pause so I can read them. 

Besides that, I subscribed to the usual. Kevjumba. WongFuProductions. Whatthebuck. Check check check.

 

‘kay. moving on——–FAMILY&&FRIENDS

I’ve met new people in classes! Thao today for chemistry help. Matt, mister smartass in chem. Tracey with the lovely infectious smile. though actually it’s sad because I prefer to remain in my personal bubble rather. I like to live in my own little world. What else re: friends… not much really. Though the subject of prom has oddly been poppping up a lot within my petit friend circle. (and my family too!) eh, who know’s if i’ll go (sikes, you KNOW i’m hella going to go). sydney maggie cezanne sign me up!

family? what family. god.  (note: sorry to people who have crazy family problems that are WAY bigger than my measly ones. but i mean, i can still complain). my mom and my dad are being annoying again. so ever since we got back from our CaliVegas trip, my mom has beeing sleeping in the same bed with me. In my room. And I don’t like it one bit, but my dad is being a total douche by making it worse and further pushing my mom and i’s buttons. so i put up with it cuz it’s my mom right? whatever. i’d rather be living an illusion than reality. that’s me.

‘kay. moving on——–RANDOM OUTBURSTS.

• yes, i’m a settle-er. i settle for happy enough rather than being fully happy. i mean, why chase something that is so hard to get. be happy with what you’ve got right? right? yea, bitch i’m a optimistic realist or whatever. deal.
• marry me juliet you’ll never have to be alone. i love you and that’s all i really know! (okay, true true whatthebuck about how her voice isn’t really fantastic and i do believe i sing her song sin the shower amazingly!)
• why is so DAMN FOGGY THESE DAYS. AND SO COLD. it’s slightly unnerving to me. this fog i mean. for some reason i have these visions of a random werewolf-man coming at me out the fog and totally decapitating me….yes….weird..
• I’M GOING TO GET A NISSAN VERSA BECAUSE IT’S CHEAP AND I’M CHEAP.
• So much for me making plans to do all my chemistry homework this quarter. Ahaha. Plans. Go. Down. The. Drain.

 

LAST BIT BEFORE I END..

 

BAMABAMAOBAMABARACKARAMA.

teehee. okay izzy i’m done. at least i didn’t say it out loud. and who cares if my parents are super conservatives and say a lot of sh*t that i will not list here because i am highly annoyed everytime i think of it.

 

THANKS!

OH BTW. WATCH THIS!

My birthday video. My FIRST video. It’s probably the worst video in the history of video making but blame my webcame for having bad graphics and blame me for trading in my TabletPC with a built in MICROPHONE for this Dell without any microphone. So the video has no sound. So….I added music. And orangepebl is my besty friend Alymar so go watch her videos too!

Sydney gave me massage oil/soap/bar thing.

Maggie gave me a Monster Mash dancing nunchuk-luvin’ hamster.

Enjoy~
