English final today and no more until next week! x)

Christmas time is here, so you know what that means: present shopping and gift giving. So what do I want for Christmas? Well after spending over $1000 last year on Christmas gifts, I’ve come to realize that material goods don’t mean anything, whether I’m giving or receiving them. I don’t care at all. Nobody can really give me a perfect gift because they can’t relate 100% to my interests. It’s like finding a needle in a haystack, you more than likely won’t find it. Instead of a material good, all I would want from ANYBODY is a Christmas card. Yes, that’s right. A Christmas card. I would like Christmas card, whether it’s bought or made, with a unique and personal message about anything. How you’ve been, how Christmas has been for you, holiday blessings, your secret feelings about me (just kidding), anything. Only something that unique and special can really make me happy. Not a gift, like an accessory or fancy electronic. For me, I don’t want Christmas to end up being a contest about who can give the best gift or who received the most presents. A time like this comes only once a year. I just want Christmas to feel like the way it’s supposed to be. (continue reading…)

Watch this isht in HD if you can. We all know about the Heene family and the hoax they pulled off for media attention and fame. Looks like they finally got it. The family was signed to a major record label and are finally making their music video debut with their hit song “I’m in a Box.” Unlike the actual stunt they pulled, this video seems pretty legit and convincing. Who knows, it just might be better than that one other music video… And is it me, or does the Asian kid look a lot like @iggipop? ;)

Hello. It’s Saturday morning and I’m coming to you all empty-handed. No new photos, videos, or anything. But I did want to let you all know that I am doing fine. Hell, since my initiative to boycott unnecessary things, I’ve been doing great. It feels good coming home or waking up in the morning just to know that I can’t play games or waste time staying online. A lot more time has been dedicated to studying, and I know the payoff will be more than generously worth it. But here’s a quick rundown of what’s been going on this past week:

• If you don’t know already, I deactivated my Facebook account and boycotted all of my Xbox 360 games and controllers. Spending 500+ hours on a game and even more time browsing a social networking community just isn’t the thing to do anymore. Talking about it is a waste of time too.
• I’m becoming a studyholic. There’s good and bad things to this. The good is obvious, but the bad is that I’m always being invited to hang out or go out with friends. I’ve declined them all, with the exception of one.
• I’ve been showing a greater appreciation for music. I’m doing as much as possible to explore and expand my music interests. While Kpop will always be my number one (don’t judge me), finding new Hip-Hop, Trance, Electronica, Lounge, and Rock tunes is always a treat.I have a friend who’s into A Day to Remember. I tried to get into it, but all I learned from it is that screaming-type music is something I can’t study to. It usually results in me making a sarcastic remark such as “Could you please stop yelling? I can’t understand you..” I think I need to try harder hahaha.
• I’m working out again now. I’m done with being lazy. Just because I don’t have a P.E. class or an inspiring coach this semester doesn’t mean I should put off what I’ve been doing for a while. I swear, I’m convinced that I will have a body like 비(Rain) (No homo on this picture, I didn’t put those chocolate bars there) by the end of the year. That V-shaped torso is SICK and getting something like that is going to be a chore, but I’m sure gonna try. It’s alright, I all need is something to hype me up (like A Day to Remember, lol) and I’m ready to DO IT!!
• I saw this video. I like this video. This video is nice.

So I bought a tripod today. Since I’m getting into this whole YouTube/Video Maker trend, I figured what the heck, might as well buy one for my dinky little camera. For some reason my phone kept crashing whenever I browsed through my messaging inbox. I don’t think it’s auto-erasing messages properly. I thought I’d use this oppurtunity to try out my tripod and see how well it holds up. It does a good job, much better than using shaky hands or stacking a bunch of boxes to put the camera on, lol. I don’t have any professional editing software or anything (yet), this was all done in Windows Movie maker. And I’m sorry about the voice static, my mouth must’ve been too close to the mic when I was recording. I swear it sounded okay before I uploaded it!
