There's a way to cure me of my cat allergies! Recently, I learned that I can cure it with Chinese medicine-- well, like herbs and stuff. Apparently I have these allergies because my immune system is weak, something about my liver(??), something about my blood, and something about my 氣. I don't really get it, but I was told that I should stay away from cold drinks, sleep earlier, and drink ginger tea every morning. Also, my dad should make me some nice Chinese herbal soups every so often :D! I'm looking forward to getting better; wish me luck!
I've been pretty much idle online recently, and honestly haven't been up to much. I've been spending all my time on watching the Korean reality TV show We Got Married. It's incredibly interesting and satisfying to watch. Basically, random Korean stars are paired with other Korean stars, and there are four artificial newlywed couples formed. They go through life (God knows how long this series will go on for...) as if they were really a married couple. They meet each week for filming and are given different missions which they must complete. At the very end of the show, each person privately choose whether they want to stay in the relationship or not. It's interesting because, despite how much of it is probably scripted, actual true romances might actually emerge. In fact, I already wept a few tears watching two scandalous episodes...
A!
Lastly, my dad bought me a new phone! Introducing the brother phone to my last phone, the W910i. I begged my dad into including internet on it, so in a week or so, I can start blogging when I'm elsewhere and NOT vegetating in front of the computer (: I'm trying to drain the battery right now so I can recharge it and officially mess with it, you know? But this goddamn thing has a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG battery life. I've played so many games and continuously played music for a good few hours. Well, I guess it's a good thing in the long run, but... D;
いってきま～す！
So here the happy emu was happily admiring her new gladiator sandals in front of a long mirror she had just attached to her wall. Noticing the mirror was crooked, she loosened the top part and went to the other side of her room to get some cardboard to fit underneath. As she was joyfully rolling together a small piece of a cardboard
B A M !
(((( ;°Д°))))
Her $6.50 mirror slammed into the ground, the glass shattering everywhere.
This $6.50 mirror just cost me seven years of bad luck !!
(But did I really break it? Or did it break by itself? ....... )

Emu, robbed of happiness, over and out.
I'd be the most icky, most heavy, and most rotten one. That's basically how I feel my summer (my real summer, as in, after the end of summer school) has been going. Quite frankly, I've been lazing around doing nothing but finishing full sets of corny Asian dramas in one day, warning my puppy not to eat his own poop for the 3874th time, unpacking boxes of stuff from my old house and figuring where to place them, and calling up my dad to buy some fatty junk food home for me to snack on. I mean, I'm sure I'd be having a great summer if I'd just pick up my phone or go online and talk to some people and go out for some fun, but it seems like such a tough task nowadays.
I did, however, get quite a thrill discovering only 2 hours before that I had to go take my senior portrait. It was pretty hectic. I'm not some high-maintenance little California valley girl. But I like to make sure I'm properly prepared (as in, having the whole morning to get ready) before setting off to take some lame overly-priced photographs.
Also, I've been meaning to get up pictures of my beautified new room, once I...well, beautify it. But I have come to the realization that it might never be cleaned up. Ever. So for now, here is a snippet of my favorite part of my room. My closet! Well, actually I don't have a closet in my room, so I bought a metal rack from Target, and I hang my clothes on it. It's super convenient, which means I should never have to move my clothes from back on forth from my chair to my bed depending on what I'm doing. But we'll see (:
As much of a seasoned pro I am at moving, I never fail to completely STRESS OUT over it everytime we move. But I mean, I know why I do. It's because I never really get packing till the night before... Observe my progress:
Another thing I'm stressing out about is senior portraits! I have no clue what I should wear. At first I wanted to wear a really chic black dress shirt, but...I don't have one, and I can't find the perfect one when I shop. So, since I've moved, I've been scrambling through all my clothes to find the perfect top/outfit. I narrowed it down, so I hope I can get some advice on what to wear :D I think I'm leaning towards the second one (grey) from the left. idk idk idk idkkkk
Recently, I've been obsessing over the 90s, because the 90s were just so PERFECT. Or, at least I thought it was. From what I remembered from the 90s, everything was decent and lacked profanity. BUT I WAS FOOLED. While looking back through my past, and downloading and watching old tv series and old music, I found some pretty scandalous stuff. Like in the tv series of the 90s, My So-Called Life, there's this one episode where the main character (a 15 year old girl--Claire Danes) basically talks about sex and the whole episode is about sex sex sex. And her best friend is like a slut, and like they all go partying in different episodes and stuff. It's a really good series, in that there's not a single character that has never wronged. Each character's flaws are pretty obvious. But I mean, it's just that the series is pretty SKETCH.
Also in the 100 top hits of each year in the 90s, they had songs with titles like:
Bitch by Merridith Brooks
In My Bed by Dru Hill
2 Become 1 by Spice Girls
She's So High by Tal Bachman
I watched two amazing things today; both at least a little bit depressing. First I watched the movie La Vie en Rose, a biography of Edith Piaf's life. I never heard of her, but as soon as I got home, I went on wiki and read all about her life (which made some of the events in the movie clearer). It was so sad how everyone close to her just left her, one by one. Her story briefly reminded me of Anita Mui's story. Anyway, about the movie: I think the main actress was incredible. Her ability to switch from one emotion to the next to the next to the next all in one shot was AMAZINGGG. Also, it was crazy how she was able to transform from a twenty year old to, basically, every age up until she was old and wrinkly. Please watch if you haven't.
Tonight, I also finished watching the last episode of the Japanese drama Absolute Boyfriend (絶対彼氏/Zettai Kareshi). It's one of the sweetest dramas that I've watched in awhile. I guess it's not so much depressing; it's just that the ending is a little bittersweet. The drama is about a girl who struggles with love, finding bits of it in both a robot boyfriend and her boss. Pretty scandalous, huhh. Although it's true that actors in Asian dramas are not exactly spectacular, but the main actress in Absolute Boyfriend is really charming. The casting was really good! ...Both the guys she had to choose from were pretty HOT. In a conversation with lyto, the question of who I would choose if I were the main actress of Absolute Boyfriend popped up. Actually, I'm not quite sure. Both of them are such perfect guys, haha. If you watch it, you'll know what I'm talkin' 'bout.
So Holly came up with this idea of singing Michael Buble's "Everything" to somebody for their birthday and changing the lyrics to the verses. But I had a lot of trouble rewriting the lyrics to my assigned verse, as the lyrics to the song are already so perfect!
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.
The whole song itself is the sweetest, most perfect song ever.
So here is my rewrite... I had to go to RhymeZone for help:
You're so versatile, yeah I like your style
And you light me up, when you crack a smile
You're hilarious, and also studious,
Let's hang out once a while or everyday
Can you guess who this is for?

I HATE SEEING PEOPLE GETTING EMO OVER LIFE AND CRYING LIKE A MOFO, WHEN I'M THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE GRIEVING BECAUSE OF ANALYTICAL JOURNALSSSSS.
