The Wolverine Japan Story Review :No spoilers:

ok i'm going to make this fairly quick. rating it 7/10 stars.

Gripes about movie:
-instances where japanese shouldve been used and subtitled. but for the most part they did pretty good at trying to make sure it was constant.
-a love square. seriously? i shoulda seen that coming...
-i LOVE how it was rated PG and yet he goes like "FUCK YOU PRETTY BOY"

-man maybe it's just me being asian, or me being too critical, but whenever i watch something that is mostly asian inspired, i critique it harder than most. that was the most overdone cheesiest asian thing ever to be done by hollywood. ever. plot was fine but ... my god...
-samurai-chiquita... whats up with you? why do you have red hair? man i wanted red hair before it was cool D: and now EVERY ASIAN CHICK IS SPORTING RED HAIR wtf. i cant be special or unique anymore :(

pluses
-1500 jobs were created because of this movie!!
-that LOVE hotel. with themed rooms. i was laughing so hard when they added that in. my god.
-separate plot lines that leads up to the main plot, and some double-crossing. oh man.
-there are some seriously funny things in that movie... since yknow.. it's in japan. just.. go see it.

ok that's enough. you guys are lucky i didn't give anything away this time except for that LOVE hotel. and like ONE LINE from the movie.

RUSSIA, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Putin passed a bill not too long ago that basically goes a little something like this:

"HEY ALL YOU GAY PEOPLE AND GAY SUPPORTERS, FROM NOW ON, NO MORE PRIDE PARADES, NO GAY TOURISTS, NO GAY COUPLES ALLOWED TO ADOPT RUSSIAN CHILDREN, AND OH BTW NEONAZI'S CAN BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU."

there are a lot of things wrong with this.

1- theyre living backwards
2- allowing violence and death to happen to their own people when they're already "underpopulated"
3- this goes against the human rights code
4- HELLO, NAZIS?? WHAT IS THIS, THE 1930's?? are you hitler?? now that you're done targeting jews and having jewish being your punching bags, you target the LGBT community who only spread love and unity and equality? YALL ARE BIG FUCKING BULLIES.
5- theyre hosting the olympics 2014.. and gay people are banned from coming in.. UH.. WHAT ABOUT THE ATHLETES WHO ARE GAY? YALL ARE GONNA KILL THEM? :Automatic boycott:
6- their people allow their own children to go through torture from these fucking nazis... UHH...
7- they're punishing their own people by fining and sentancing them for loving someone of their own gender
8- "Foreigners — possibly including athletes — who violate the law, including possibly by speaking about their sexual orientation in public, run the risk of being fined, arrested for up to 15 days, and deported from Russia." - Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2013/07/22/olympic-committee-pushes-back-on-putins-anti-gay-law/#ixzz2aGNR14eW ... UH ok thats fine because we dont wanna visit your stupid country anyway
9- He claims he wants to increase population and only straight married couples can have children.. uh well lessee here
a) no one is gonna wanna live in russia if yall act like nazis. if u wanna increase population stop acting like assholes.
b) so are u saying single umarried people cant get pregnant and have children? are you THAT fucking stupid to be using that "only married people can have kids" argument? what about the infertile couple who cant HAVE children and theyre married? you fucking twit...
c) if you keep promoting hate and allowing your people to commit murder, there AINT GONNA BE A HIGH POPULATION BECAUSE U KEEP MURDERING PEOPLE. logic much???

RAGE. GOD. JUST SO ANGRY TODAY =_=

When i grow up...

I had a lot of carreers in mind when i was a child. all of them were due to certain events that happened in my time. so here they are, for your enjoyment, in chronological order...

Grade 1 Detective/ Police officer/ CSI/ Forensics specialist
One morning during recess, my mom came to visit me and gave me my snacks. i held her hand and led her around the school yard when all of a sudden, a tennis ball hit my mother's face! i turn to face the three stooges who threw the ball and i yell at them like the little bitch that i am... "WHO THREW THE BALL IN MY MOMMY'S FACE??" and they all run off... =_= and so i made up my mind that day to become a detective/ forensics investigator/ police officer to find out who threw the ball and lock them away!! oh boy i was an innocent child...

Grade 2-5 Artist (Painter, illustrator)
i moved to a new school in grade two and the only thing that kept me happy was my art. i was the special kid in class who was constantly bullied and whos food got stolen from.. and the girl with the "retard sister" and was deemed "retarded" because the sister was "retarded." i was really unhappy during that period. so whenever i drew, to my surprise everyone who bullied me would stop, even just for a little bit, to admire my art. and during art class everyone would want to be my partner. so i wanted to be an artist because it made me happy (especially designing my own characters)

End of Grade 5 Archeologist Historian specializing in The Lost City of Atlantis.
I watched the movie Atlantis- the lost empire.. and then one day i found out atlantis was real... i went searching through my dad's highschool books and i find a book about mysteries of atlantis. and then my mind was made that i'd find atlantis. xD

Grade 6 Marine Biologist
I become in love with the sea. i was at my peak in my childhood where i would study behaviours of dolphins, anatomy of dolphins, study about different sea creatures, where they live... etcetc... i really wanted to be a marine biologist

Grade 7 Fashion Designer
.... hey i got girlier :| and i wanted more anime style clothes... hm.. come to think about it i have made my own clothes so that wasnt entirely bad...

Grade 8 Interior Designer/ Architect
My room has been pretty empty ever since i moved to vaughan in grade 6.. and i really wanted to design my own room... so i'd come up with different designs and concepts and then i expanded that to a house.. its kinda strange how that worked out cuz now i'm having a house, so my dream of designing my own home will come true!

Grade 9 Performing Mermaid/ Disney worker
I went through this hippie phase of just wanting to be happy. and then i discovered performing mermaids (yeah thats right i'm a fucking hipster! i knew about mermaid performers before it was current) and i wanted to have my own tail. ...hm.. oh hey wait a sec i have a tail now!!

Grade 10 Disney Animator
I hit my anime/manga peak and wanted to be an animator to work for disney, combining my art skills in illustration and interior design... i just grew to have so much appreciation for disney and what they do.

Grade 11 Theatre person/ costume designer/ actress/ set design person
I started taking drama and thats where i was thrown into a world of magic, and where i started to grow appreciation for performers, script writers, everyone behind the scenes... i wanted to contrudbute to the community!

Grade 12 Wife
 ok guys wait hear me out, here's my logic.. why should i have to work and make money when i can sit at home and have the guy work hard FOR me? and all i gotta do is cook our meals and clean, otherwise i'm good for whatever like shopping and stuff xD... yeah no. i'm not that evil. i immediately scrapped that idea. although i KNOW now i'm becoming a wife, but i'll be working and not like a housewife or anything...

Repeated Grade 12 Singer/ Model / Librarian
man, that year i was all over the place... i wanted to sing, i wanted to dance, i wanted to model... what happened?? i became girlier thats what happened... but were those realistic enough goals for me? not really... so i decided to become a librarian.

Currently...
I have a Library Tech diploma, i have a mermaid tail, i'm almost married... well! some of my dreams and goals have been fulfilled... right now i'm only just realizing my other dream to become a marine biologist and go around the world saving dolphins. i wonder if i'm going through midlife crisis.
 

I shall not will not have a child here or there, i will not have one anywhere!

so a lot of people (i wont name who) always tell me to at least prepare for a child if i accidentally have one. now you all know my gripe about having children, taking care of children etcetc.. but ya guys gotta understand me on this. i've done extensive research. i've taken family education classes. i've taken care of children! and of course the thought has crossed my mind about having a child. but after much though and discussion.. we're not having children of our own.

1) too much money
taking care of a child is hard enough. you have to spend money on their food, clothes, bedding, diapers, toys, education... "of course it's all short term though" WRONG. this carries into their teen years. prom? tutors? afterschool classes? extracurricular activites? dental plan? doctors? more clothes? their tuition? sorry guys i'm much too selfish to take care of someone else before me. i still have to take care of my parents when theyre old and grey. and what happens when they bite you after all that you've done for them? no. just. no.

2) loss of time
supposedly you'll cherish the time you have with your child.. but what about personal time? i've taken family studies and took care of a fake baby .. but that was already hard enough when you have another kid in the house. my niece of 8 years, i've taken care of my niece ever since she was a newborn. i've already lost a lot of my personal time. i missed out on a real childhood. i'm not about to sacrifice more of my time.

3) blood sweat and tears
think of all the physical and emotional pain you'll go through once you have a child! pre birth you constantly have constipation, and you'll feel fat and miserable. during birth youll go through 9 hours of pain in the abdomen that gradually increases and finally your tiny little vagina rips open and youll have to push a huge head out of it!! after birth you wont be able to get the rest you deserve, and when they get older they'll bite the hand that feeds them like little vipers!

4) too much abandoned children in the world
why am i gonna give birth when theres children who need parents? some say "to pass on your lineage and blood and name." i call bull on that. i'm not an animal, i dont need to breed. plus the world is way too overpopulated...

5) Is adoption an option?
maybe. if i ever decide to have a child i'm going to adopt one, give them a home, clothes, food, love.. hey they deserve love too. no abandoned child should ever feel unloved and unwanted. and if they need help finding their true parents then by golly i will help them find where they came from.

6) too young
guys face it.. i'm too young to have one. i still have my whole life to live. i still have goals to accomplish. i still have dreams to fulfil. i'm not ready to be tied down with a baby. i probably wont be ready. ever.

i've thought a lot about this. my parents fully support me on this. we've discussed this. decision is final.

No kids.

Once upon a time... a dolphin story.

there was a boy. his home was run by communists, and a war broke out between the opposition party and the communists. his father did not want him to join the army, so at the age of 18 he left his home with a fisherman in the dead of night- just before morning- and sailed away with the others who had run away from the war.

for days they were out on the ocean. they were well stocked with food and water but that quickly disappeared. soon the fishermen who piloted the boat were beginning to get irritated. the sun beat down on them, there was no food, children were crying, the boat was packed like a can of sardines, and they had run out of drugs. the boy thought "how are we supposed to find refuge if the fishermen dont steer the boat? just because they ran out of drugs and dont have 'a reason to live' doesnt mean they have an excuse to abandon everyone else's lives on this tiny boat..' so the boy took it upon himself to pilot the boat. he asked the fishermen to quickly teach him how to steer, how to tell what direction he's headed, how to use a compass.. things like that. in no time the boy was piloting the boat with no problems. except one; where was land?

one day when he was steering the boat, a pod of dolphins were by the boat. they circled the boat a few times before finally swimming off. the boy thought logically that wherever the dolphins lead the boat to, there would be food... because dolphins are animals and they hunt for food. "ok lets follow these dolphins" he thought. so he followed them. little did he know that these dolphins would lead him and the boat people back to land, safe and sound.

by evening he had reached the beaches of malaysia, and the dolphins -who had lead him and the people to safety- swam back to their home in the ocean. the boy eventually grew older, moved to canada, had children of his own, and continued to live a life free of worries, but he would never forget the day his life was saved by dolphins.

who was this boy? this boy was my dad. that day when he left his home in vietnam, he started a new life; he became a sailor, saved his people... and then when the time came to start a family, he had me. "his daughter who came to be because the dolphins saved him."

Thats why my mom calls me her little mermaid. or "sea maiden."

this is one of the stories i will tell my theoretical children and grandchildren, and i will teach them to have respect for the dolphins and the ocean  :)

A story of how steven and i met, and how we came to be.

So we're almost married and have been dating for an extremely long time.. why not write a sappy long overdue story about how we met, hm?

Pre steven&andrea.. May 20th 2006

It was "prom season" for the 12th graders. here i am alone in the library doing community service hours... when all of a sudden a group of BIG SUPER SCARY 12TH GRADERS COME UP TO ME "oh no" says i "they're gonna beat me up!! i'm too young to die!" i claim... and they ask me to go to prom with their friend. "bwaaaa??" i thought.

A line of communication was open for steven.. turns out he was the one who suggested they all come up to me because i was wearing light blue everything. (light blue shoes, light blue shirt, light blue jacket, light blue capris... even my frickin socks were light blue).. they did not know my name, and so they dubbed me... L.B. for light blue. steven, were you really that simple minded?

ANYWAY, i turned down the offer to go to prom with them. (because i was but a mere 9th grader. who am i to just suddenly show up at a prom strictly meant for soon to be graduates?)

a day or two after the incident, i get a friend request on msn from... steven! "how did he get my email?" i asked. "the guy is hella creepy" i says. "ok i add him" BAHAHA.

years later i found out he got my email from a mutual friend who was friends with my friend. anyway...

we found out that we had a lot in common.. we loved listening to Gackt, listening to jrock, we were in music class, we lived in jane and finch and moved up to vaughan the exact same time... and then we started talking and hung around school a lot...
 and i instantly became known as the 9th grader who hung around the cool 12th graders. (not really but hey, i was untouchable after that. no more bullying! and i still hang out with the guys to this day :3 )


February 16th 2007

a year later i dreamt that we'd gotten married. which was really wierd because a day or so after, he "confessed" his love to me online... to which i automatically log offline, shut of my computer, ran into my sisters room and started laughing like a complete loonie. (i also find out my mom did the same thing when she was my age.. some guy said he liked her and she ran home, locked herself upstairs and laughed like a hyena.. and my grandpa thought she was crazy LOL..) anyway, logged back on an hour later and we decided to completely forget about the incident because i still had issues with guys.. i broke up with this one idiot who thought playing wargames would get him into the military, this one guy i liked was so full of himself and liked someone else, and another was freakin racist and wouldnt date me because i wasnt korean. moving on...

he liked a lot of girls and i would just be like 'oh yeah go for her why not yknow?' but then when he suddenly came out to me it was like "but why me?"... and i still dont have a reason why but anyway... i agreed to meet with him after valentines day.. and i was super nervous because it was our first time seeing each other in a while.. and we always chatted online..
there, in the school cafeteria he officially asked me to be his girlfriend. so i decided to give him a chance because... well why not? (it was afterschool and i lied to my parents that i was staying late to finish up projects xD pfft!) we exchanged our gifts (i got him a magnetic half-heart... that connected to his other half he got me).

and then he stole a kiss :| (different story here, my first kiss wasnt actually with him, it was with a girl, but moving on...)

Our first date we went to swiss chalet to eat... and we still go there to eat because it brings back good memories :) in fact we go there so often that all the servers and hostesses recognize us!


Within a time span of 5 years..

there were a lot of.. complications with family and health and money... and he was always there to provide support.. i actually didnt think he'd stay because of all the shit i go through but he's very understanding and he'll try to help out when he can. there was lots of yelling, lots of tears, lots of emotional things going on.. friends came and died, family was torn apart, i was physically unwell... and he stayed through it all with me. we grew to love each other's dorkiness.. him with his penguin obsession, mine with my ocean mermaid obsession.. and when i was feeling like i was the ugliest girl on the face of the planet he'd always tell me how beautiful i am (and he still does that).

at school i'd always write notes to him, and he'd do the same because there was no way to actually be together a lot in person since he was a college student and i was still a minor. (god i make him sound like such a pedobear eh?) when it came time to meet each other we'd exchange notes and read them.    sometimes i think "how the hell did a bitch like me end up with such a loving and caring person?" well.. i still dont know. but here we are, fully graduated highschool and both college students.. then i realized... he'd always stick around and stand by me no matter what. (like during that time my mom kicked him out of the house and when i had my widsom tooth removed and he took care of me on his work day). i decided that on his birthday, i'd ask him to marry me. just like Topanga did on boy meets world.

August 30th 2011.

i called his friends and secretly got a hold of their numbers in advance to tell them i was gonna propose to him. to my surprise they were all like "OH SHIT NO WAY!! OH MY GOD SO EXCITED! MAD RESPECT"... except one who was all like "youre castrating him!"... pft bitch i hate gender roles, stfu. and one of his friends actually have always wanted a girl to propose to them in the future!
so it was settled. i bought a ring for him, planned his birthday dinner with his friends there... had him open a fairly large box without him suspecting anything... and there it was, his ring. and i asked him to marry me in front of his friends... and of COURSE he said yes.

both his parents and my parents think that it was HIM who proposed to me.. oh if ONLY they knew and would stop gender stereotyping.. (thats a seperate rant i wont get into.)

 but then of course silly me, i didnt get Myself an engagement ring.. HAHAHA... so we bought one.. i'm not a jewelery person and i dont really like mined rocks.. i like the lab made ones.. so he bought me a simple cut tiny green amethyst ring that looks like seaglass!!! why amethyst you say? because amethyst represents february and february is when we started dating :)

and now here we are, both about to be married, newly bought a house, both working together, and about to start a new chapter of our life in exactly one year. one more year. oh my god it's finally happening. my dream from grade 10 (one with him marrying me even before we started dating) is literally going to come true.

a Splendiferous Saturday

Saturday morning was different compared to all my other saturdays... because this past particular saturday, i went bridal dress shopping with my bridesmaid, my man of honour, my mom, and my mother in law!.. and went to a concert.

Saying 'yes' to my dress

it was a quiet morning of dress shopping so it was just us inside the shop. quickly found out they did not have the dress that i wanted (alfred angelo ariel style 201) because it was "outdated" ... well i wasnt about to leave the shop empty handed, so off i went picking out all the alfred angelo mermaid style gowns i liked. tried on a tiana style dress, a cinderella dress, a second ariel dress, and some other dress that was not aldred angelo. and in the end i picked out cinderella because it looked good on me.

( actually everything looked good on me :| )

at the end the seamstress asled "are you saying yes to this dress?" (LOL), i had champagne to celebrate, and we all waltzed outta there. the entire time my mom and my mom-in-law was just talking to each other about eeeverything and how they've never quite experienced something like this. Hopefully i can white wash them good.. buawahahaha! (because asian places dont do these kinda things like bringing out champagne and stuff)

"you know canadians are too friendly when..."

in the evening i went to an amaranthe concert, opening act was a fellow canadian metal band called kobra and the lotus. they were quite friendly and down to earth and just strutted out to set up equipment and talked to the few of us who set up our own line. .. in fact before 4 oclick there WAS no line.. and we were so tame that, even when elize fom amaranthe came out to get some drinks, we were all kinda like oh hi elize!! and she was so friendly and so courteous right back and allowed us to take pics with her!
but what group of fans remain tame for the wntire night right? everyone just tore that place down! fans were crowd surfing up onto stage, and these guys allowed the crowdsurfers (i'd say there were about 15 people) to stay on stage and head bang with them. ONE guy stood on top of the audience and he looked like he was just standing literally on people's heads. afterwards amaranthe brought food and good ol' molson canadian out to drink on stage and celebrate the drummer's bday.. and we even sang 'eye of the tiger' together before they finished off the show with 'hunger'
and i really enjoyed the fact they they were crazy WITH us, photobombing girls taking selfies, fist-bumping and shaking hands with the audience (i got an air fist-bump from elize cuz i was sitting and couldnt get up cuz of my broken neck, and i shook hands with the birthday boy drummer) .. it got so crazy that i pinched a nerve in my neck and now my doctor is putting me on bedrest for a week until i heal. (thank god it wasnt meningitis)

it was so fun and so amazing. we gave them such a big welcome :) i hope they definitely come back!

A fish walks into a movie theatre, into a chinese reataurant, and into a heap of trouble.

this weekend i went to go see three movies... monster university, despicable me2, and the lone ranger.

Monster university... made me miss seneca college, but i was never really part of any sorority clubs. and it seemed like it was more for the people who's already in post secondary.. like it shows that if u dont make it through school u can always start work and work your way up... 6-10

despicable me 2 was.. too damn cute xD AND WAY TOO FUNNY... ahem. 10/10. go see it.

lone ranger...ok so the thing about the lone ranger is that there has been mixed reviews saying how good or how bad it is. i fall into the "oh it's so damn good and you're all idiots" category.
- people said the movie was too long and had uncecessary scenes.. well i say i was worth my two hours, and those so called "unnecessary scenes" were integral to the plot and made the story and characters much more complex. plots within plots? i like.
- references to the original lone ranger series? oh yeee! HI-HO SILVER!!!
- DAT HORSE. "something is wrong with that horse." xD
- WILLIAM TELLER. OMG.
- people said tonto was a lot like captain jack sparrow.. UH NO HE'S NOT. jack runs around and goofs off a lot with rum in his hand. this guy is a fucking native with a sad past, and a supposed dead crow on top of his head. 11/10.  but of course i am biased.
-very sad credits... :spoiler: tonto is an old man and wanders into the desert by himself.. with nothing but the clothes on his back... and it's just so sad because he's old and by himself..  :(

oh also all the time i played timeplay, 2/3 times i won and i was the top player :3 oh yee! queen of children's trivia!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so both of our parents met for the first time at a chinese restaurant.. i think they like each other! good for us.. but acts as a double edged sword because now..

i have to wear TWO white dresses, go to TWO ceremonies, take TWICE the amount of pictures, wake up at 6, and i have a whole lot of shit to prepare for... UGH.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a distant relative of mine passed away (who is also my friend's dad) and i am going to a memorial service to pay respect.. however i also need to make a 2nd deposit on my house. and another friend ran into some trouble and needs to move but i promised to go saturday and sunday.. but now it looks like i only have sunday to help her.. and i also found out i have dinner with my in-laws the same day. rage ;__;

times when i wish i had the ability to help, but i dont and i feel so useless.. not sucha good feeling..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

what's next...hm... next week i go wedding dress shopping holy crap finally! but then i also have to go to amaranthe concert later on in the day... how have i not memorized any of their songs?
