NUMANUMAIEI !!!!!!

hahaha....
yeah... I know I'm kinda' behind, but who cares??? I'm afraid I am one of those who enjoyed the wonderful lip-synching performance by the 16-year old kid (still don't have a clue what his real name is: WAY TO GO KID!!! YOU'RE HILARIOUS!!!!! O-Zone should give you a commission!!).

Yeah... the past few weeks have been kinda slow that the video was really close to being the highlight of my week (Pathetic, huh?.. I KNOOOW!!!). What I found most funny was the fact that this kid reminds me so much of one of my good friends (GO, GIRBO! GO, GIRBO! :D).

Quoted confession of a Twixter

"You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone..............it just sort of happens one day. One day and it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this right of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place."

Found this explanation about the title of the film A la folie, pas du tout (He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not....) :

il m'aime ...
... un peu
... beaucoup
... passionnément
... à la folie
... pas du tout

Quite an interesting movie by the way....

New Year's resolution v2.0

Had Chinese New Year Dinner with my closest friends in Chi-town (minus spikey bro). Though it's nothing crazy like the reunion dinner my family used to have at home, I'm really glad we made it. They're basically my family here, far far away from home. (I luv ya guys!!)

My New Year's resolution v2.0 aka Chinese New Year resolution:
  • Maximize my level of utility from consumption of netflix's service, i.e. must reduce dvd turnaround time.
  • Maximize my level of utility from my SUPER BASIC french class, e.g. by improving my 'chicken-a**" pouting skills and maximizing the coverage of the "local, man-made rain" from trying to produce a convincing "r" sound.
  • Maximize my level of utility from consumption of good fortune that's supposed to come this rooster year for all of us "snake" people.
  • Maximize my level of utility from consumption of the remaining time that I have here in chi-town. Just as what I've been telling myself: This could very well be your last ..... here(fill in the blanks) , .... so enjoy it as much as you can! Who knows where you're gonna be tomorrow?

When...

The end of the fellowship?

I hate it when a good story ends. I hate those last pages of the novel when I really want the characters to stay with me. Or maybe it's me who really want to stay with them. I wonder how I'd feel when JK Rowling stops hatching those money-making golden-eggs Harry Potters of hers. I've always been a sucker for series, almost any series... I think simply because of this one reason: I don't like any ending to any good story. I don't want it to end. Period.

However, I do need to point out that the Edge of Reason sequel to Bridget Jones' Diary was a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE idea. The book was not even remotely as fun and enjoyable as the original. There you go... so I guess I'm a selective sucker for series and sequels.

When I brought up the subject of my leaving Uncle Sam for good, this one good friend of mine basically said: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
(Hahahhaa.... you're so funny, Miss M!)

Anyway, yeah.. I wonder if it is really the time for the fellowship to end this time. Though there's no ring to be destroyed, no raw-fish-eating-weird-looking- Gollum-like creatures around, no awesomely-cool-elf-archer to drool at and no throne to be reclaim from a crazy steward, it sure won't be easy for me when the time comes.

Wonder how I'll manage it. I really have no idea. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...
