From Uni...

So it wasn't a good idea to go walking back to uni after all. Today is a very rainy day and at first I was enjoying the rain under my umbrella but then it got out of control due to the wind.

*sigh* I have no idea what got me out of bed this morning, but one thing I know for sure, it was by force. My 9am (-____-) lecture couldn't get anymore boring then how it was today. I really wanted to walk out. My headphones had broke so music wasn't there to help =(

I figured that I wouldn't survive the day without music (discovered that I'm a super music addict) so I walked back home, in the nice rain (that time), and decided to drop by the big shopping store in front of our house to hunt for some headphones. I bought them, dropped by home and picked up my lunch, then walked back to uni.

Mama wanted to drop me off, but I insisted that I'd walk because I enjoyed it and needed it =P Though I regretted it after wards. It rained so hard that my bag got so wet. My bag has this front pocket where I keep my Phone and MP3 player and guess what!? They were BOTH soaking wet! *laughs hysterically* I took out my MP3 player and started drying it. I "ignored" my phone because it was already dying (didn't care about it much xD)...I can't loose my MP3 player too *cries*

Got to R-block and headed straight to the "rest-rooms" and started drying up my bag under that thing that dries your hands xD And here I am...sitting in the labs, wanting to start on my COMP462 assignment that's due on Wednesday, but instead I'm blogging xD

[Music] Don Omar - Virutal Diva

Ok! So I can't get enough of this song. Yes!! It's THAT good. True, not completely my type and I can't understand a single word sung because it's in Spanish - a hot language (=P ) and one that I enjoy hearing, if I may add. But the music in this song is absolutely...awesome! It's really really put together nicely. Doesn't sound all over the place. Loving the trumpets and the techno-ish piano (?) *that's what it sounds like to me* Just an excellent electropop, hip hop song!

Oh and this song is in the soundtrack of the new "Fast and Furious" movie.

<3 <3 <3

Hmmm...

- Uni starts on Monday. A big -____________- to that! Bleh...a 9am class first day back...which I'm going to force myself to go to.
Goodbye staying and waking up late. Goodbye movies...I love you! xD Goodbye anime and Waqas (acoustic guitar). The reason why I'm saying all this is because I know this part of the semester is going to be crazy. Projects + assignments + final tests will all be magically squashed into our timetable >.< *pulls hair out*

- 2 more episodes left of Dexter Season 1 and I don't know why I haven't seen them yet, since they're the finales! The last 2 episodes that I watched have shown me the other side of Dexter. The weak/fragile side. Which is awesome...just shows that even a heartless (at a certain level) person still has such a side. But for some reason I didn't like it. I liked the strong/cold and somewhat evil side of him =P This time Dexter reminded me of Light-kun, last episode, of Death Note! I want to make time just to watch this series (season 2 and 3), even though I shouldn't for I heard (from Sara) that it only get's better and more addictive. Dangerous O.o

- Somehow, and shockingly, I'm starting to enjoy listening to RnB and Hip Hop. Not all songs but just the ones that stand out to me. But still, RnB/Hip Hop for a Rocker...really-eh?! I think if electric guitars were added to those genres I'd probably be into them...but then they wouldn't be what they are, right?! xD *I feel I'm talking gibberish*

- Mocha heavenly sachets (that's what I call them now xD) are back in my life. I had finished the packet and kind of suffered for 4-5 days without drinking a cup a day. My addiction for them has increased to the point that today I wanted to have another cup. But I don't think that'd be a good idea =P

- I kinda ditched "Nothing Else Matters" even though I'm progressing in it, but "Path" and "The Unforgiven",by Apocalyptica, both kinda pulled me to learn them. I'm really really enjoying playing "Path" seriously that piece of music totally rocks! But again, today I decided to look up Stuart Chatwood (music composer of Prince of Persia games) to see if someone was kind enough to upload the tabs for "Attack at Sea" but No! -____- Instead I found "Escape the Dahaka". Damn that's one great piece as well! So I'm learning it as well just before uni starts! <3

Now if only I had an electric guitar! *dreams*

That's it from me ^__^

George Bush Impersonation xD

Hahahaha...he's too good! xD

Bathroom concert series

John Myer and Ellen

I don't know...but I just found myself laughing hard while watching this! They were so into it xD
*John Myer O.o....<3* =P

Jennifer Hudson and Ellen

This one was also funny *hint hint - 3:12 xD*...yet good!

^__^

It actually got to me...

Since when huh?! >.<

I'm talking about my tallness. It has never been a "problem" or a thing that bothered me, though yesterday - for the first time - I felt so...so bleeh!

My Mom and I were invited to our friends house where a bunch of woman, in-laws and relatives gathered (of that family). Of course I was the tallest there (172-173cm), Mom coming in second place (what! it's a race now? =P) then the other ladies and gals followed. So what happened is, we got there and started saying hello's (kisses on cheeks), bla bla, to everyone. This tallness thing hit hard when I reached one lady. It's either I was too tall or she was too short. She definitely looks larger and weighs more than me yet her height made her, in a way, look small + cute! When I came to say hello to her, I LITERALLY had to bend down at least 50 degrees just to reach her face. I seriously don't remember her being this short when we met in some occasions...was it her heels? Or was this the first time I actually greet her? Naah must be the heels!

That moment, and almost the whole time I was in that house, I just hated being THAT tall. I've always been fond of my height and I'm still thankful for being tall for many reasons, but damn it, it just got to me yesterday...to the point that I wished I was a few centimeters shorter just so that I can at least come close to the average height of all the woman in that house...lol!

Wow...I shouldn't let this get to me! -_______-
*disappointed with myself =P*

------------------

One of the hottest, yet most emotional music I've ever heard on a electric guitar.

Me vs. Dexter

Funny title...it just means there's 2 parts to this entry =P

So here I am, last day of the first week of the study break and all I can say is that it's just been...weird (?). Days are going by so fast where I'm too scared to close and open my eyes to find myself back at uni! -_____-

I feel that I didn't get to do some of the many things I wanted to do, and I've started to worry about assignments already =S Yeah! Assignments, in the flippin' holidays *sigh*

Been watching a lot of movies (as usual), went out here and there...but the only thing that I've been "craving" for and missing to do is to drive to AUX. Haven't done that since Mom and I dropped Dad at the airport when he was going back to Oman (which was sometime in Jan/Feb). I really miss going to AUX. I mostly miss the driving! *crosses fingers and hopes to go to AUX sometime next week*

On a more positive note...winter is TRULY upon us right now! No kidding! I'm absolutely loving it...but it's really cold that it's difficult getting out of bed in the morning because you're nice and warm under the covers *love that feeling*. The cold has come really early this year and it's THAT cold so everyone is hoping/predicting SNOW!! YES! SNOW!! IN HAMILTON! How cool would that be?!!! I would really love it if it snowed...it should be awesome <3

Learning a new full song on my acoustic guitar, "Apocalyptica - Nothing Else Matters". When I first started playing the guitar I found this song hard. But almost 4 days ago, I gave it another shot and I can play the full (almost) song...badly, with many mistakes and at a slower pace. I can totally sense that this song will take the longest time to master compared to the other songs I've learned. Though, so far so good and damn I just love that song!

---------------------

So I've started watching this series called "Dexter". I tried to watch it back when it first came out...I think I only saw the first episode and "back then", I couldn't stand seeing blood, gory, you name it, movies/series. So I kinda ditched it. But then I watched Saw 1 and things turned around for me lol! So anyways, I decided to give this series another shot, plus Sara and NFace both were encouraging and exciting me about it...they both told me that I'd like it....They were right! I got the whole first season of Sara (thanx!) and today I watched the first 2 episodes. I like it A LOT! This series is so different than the usual typical CSI/Cops/Murders/etc series. There's this cheekiness as well or should I say Dexter is the cheeky one xD I like him...he's really cool but he's got this dark side in him that it's creepy but you can't help but like him! lol.

This series reminds me very much of Death Note...the anime. They both have the same "concept" except one casts "judgment" using a book and the other is done by...raw hands @_@ No one will understand what I mean unless you've seen both of these (Dexter and Death Note).

I'm excited to see the rest of the episodes *can't wait*...so this is a recommendation to those that like...blood (?), smart, thriller, etc, etc, series. It's really great!

That's it from me.

[Movie] Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

Plot:

A Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.

-----------------------

G's thoughts:

Yup here I go again. I know this movie has already gotten it's thunder and has been blogged about, etc etc, but again, what the hell! it's definitely, I repeat, DEFINITELY one of those movies worth blogging about =D

I think this is one of the best movies (has a list) I've ever seen...hmm...it was just, AMAZING! Powerful! Great great story...loved how the story goes back and forth in time - it's as if 2 stories been told in 1...wait, actually, that's exactly what was happening xD. Some parts of the movie were disturbing, but I guess the producers wanted to make it as true/real as possible. All the actors were great except for the presenter of the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" show...I didn't like him O.o I don't know what more to add about this movie (?) it's just great! Absolutely GREAT!

N.b. What was with the dancing at the end of the movie?!? That actually took me by surprise for some unknown reason. I just didn't expect it xD

So if you haven't watched it...O.o
Go watch it...now!

A very high recommendation from yours truly.

[Movie] Hitch (2005)

Plot:

Meet Alex 'Hitch' Hitchens (audience favorite WILL SMITH). He's the legendary - and anonymous - New York City matchmaker who, for a fee, has helped countless men woo the women of their dreams.

But while coaching Albert (KING OF QUEENS star KEVIN JAMES in a performance that will have you in stitches), a meek accountant who is smitten with gorgeous celebrity Allegra Cole (Supermodel AMBER VALLETTA), it looks like Hitch has finally met his match in the form of Sara Melas (sexy EVA MENDES) - a beautiful, whip-smart gossip columnist who's following Allegra's every move. Now, the ultimate bachelor suddenly finds himself falling deliriously in love with Sara, a reporter whose biggest scoop could very well be the unmasking of Manhattan's famous 'date doctor'.

-----------------------

G's thoughts:

I know this is an old movie and I'm late with watching it, but what the hell! it's one of those movies that's worth blogging about!

I LOVED this movie so much! One of the best from Will Smith (along with "I am Legend" and "The Pursuit of Happyness"). It was absolutely hilarious (was laughing so hard at some points...but I can't remember what they were now =S) and so...sweet/romantic! Kevin James was just as funny even though he didn't have so many parts, because the story mostly revolved around Will Smith's character, but those few parts he was in were GREAT! As for Eva Mendes...well I'm not so so SO fond of this actress, but I gotta give her some credit because she did a great job with her character! It was really good how each of them made "falling in love" look so real...ya3ni (I mean) they acted it real well that it was believable xD *hope this makes sense* That's one of the reason's why I liked it, because it was realistic-ish!

Anywho, I recommend this definitely to EVERYONE (I don't care if it's not your type...just go watch it because it's THAT good!), especially if you like comedy and especially if you're into romance as well! It was a really really nice movie and a good laugh as well!

G's Rating: 9.5/10

Will be back later to talk about another movie!

Wonho Chung

This guy is pretty fascinating! xD

loool! Enjoy!
