So ya'll know I love Kpop! Or do you??? Well, I'm just gonna go over my fav songs so far this year :)
Even though it was relatively just released, I REALLY LIKED Exo's "Lucky One". Like, I've listened to that song soooooo much! I don't know what it is, exactly, but I just really like that one and I think its my fav so far. Like, right when I heard it, I was just like "YESSSSSSSS". "Monster" took a little more getting used to, though. I like it, but not as much as "Lucky One".
Going back to the beginning of the year, I'm looking at the Wikipedia page for 2016 releases and I didn't see anything that I actually remember liking until Teen Top with "Warning Sign". I'm listening to it now... and... its ok. Then I remember CROSS GENE with "Noona, You" and now I'm listening to it.. and I like it much better, but its not as good as my fav song of their, their debut song, "La Di Da Di." I really like that song XD I remember GFriend and Zico back in January, but I didn't like them that much. And looking at the rest of January, there was Yezi and Ryeowook, and I liked "The Little Prince" but neither was amazing. So over all, January didn't stand out to me and I think I mostly was still listening to 2015 stuff. Probably f(x), Super Junior, and Oh My Girl's albums.
Going into February, Winner and 4Minute came back, didn't much care for Winner and I liked "Hate" but I wish it was two different songs. I see Taeyeon, but I didn't like "Rain". I liked AOA Cream's song "Baby I'm Jelly" cause it was cute XD I also like Rainbow's "Whoo", but it wasn't amazing. I like Nuest's "Overcome", but I forget I like it until I hear it. B.A.P's "Feel so Good" was... I didn't like it at first but then I watched a lot of dance covers and grew to like it. Oooh! Then we had Taemin and I really like all his choreography, but I liked "Drip Drop" as a song better than "Press Your Number". Astro's "Hide and Seek" was cute, but eh. Omg! Ladies' Code came back with "Galaxy"... but I didn't love it... It was ok to me. But I loved that they came back :) RIP EunBi and RiSe, though :( Cosmic Girl's debuted and... honestly it was ok. I like the cute concept, but it wasn't amazing. Wrapping up February, I actually really like CLC's "High Heels". I like CLC, just not their latest song.
Looking at March, I really only loved a few things. The main thing being Oh My Girls' "Liar Liar"!!! before EXO, that was easily my fav song of the year! I still really, really, really, like that song XD And actually, I like that whole Pink Ocean album! :D I also really liked DAY6! I love the ballady- rock stuff they do. There were other releases like Hyosung, Got 7, Boys Republic, etc... but honestly, I didn't like them. BR was ok, but I can't even remember the tune off the top of my head, so :/
Lots of stuff in April, but I liked Mamamoo, NCT U ("Without You", again, the ballady-pop-rock stuff), History ("Queen" was ok), Block B (really liked them), M&D (Heechul!!!!), Up10tion (I think I liked "Attention"), VIXX ( I really like "Dynamite" probably my 3rd or 4th fav actually), Seventeen (I liked "Pretty U"). I think it was April, or maybe May, I really like Lee Hi's ... what was it? The upbeat one XD and AKMU! I really like "Re Bye" and "How people move".
Time for May! BTS! Duh!!!!! Everyone loves them XD Although I don't like their lyrics... Also, going back to April, I just don't like Twice... Am I the only one? Their songs are weird, and I also always have a problem with their lyrics. I'll try to explain in another post. Amber and Luna's song was pretty cool. But I wasn't in love with it. I didn't like Tiffany's "I just wanna dance" but I did like Jessica's "Fly" :) And the whole album, really. AOA's "Good luck" is catchy... but the lyrics and stuff are... ugh. Monsta X was fine. I like Jonghyun's stuff. I actually don't like Oh My Girls' "Windy Day". I don't know what it is about the song, but it just bothers me. I like the song for Fiestar's "Apple Pie" but.. I don't like how Fiestar now relys on sexy concepts.
Moving into June, which is almost done! I like EXID's "Lie" but again, with the sexy stuff, ugh. I like U-kiss's "Stalker", I haven't been liking U-kiss as much for the past couple years. Again, I don't want t stalker nor do i encourage that behaviour, but the melody and stuff is good. I like JinWoon's solo song. I'm torn on Sistar though... I think I like the song... but Sistar is another one of the groups that does all the sexy concepts. And, I know there is still some I'm forgetting, but I'll just get them later XD
What have you thought of Kpop this year? I'd say my overall favs are Lucky One, Liar Liar, Dynamite, Monster, and maybe Re-Bye? Not entirely sure... Anyway, Toodles for now! :D

Movies I'm Looking Forward To
Well, this post should be pretty straight forward XD But we'll see. I just watched the 2nd trailer for Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and was reminded that I wanted to see that. I think that it looks really interesting. I tried reading the book XD But I didn't get very far. I talked about this in my last post, I usually just end up watching the movie and not really caring about the books. But yeah, I want to see that one.
I haven't seen Warcraft yet, I want to see that. It looks kinda cheesy, not gonna lie, but I still want to see it.
I also wouldn't mind seeing Central Intelligence, cause I like comedies. And as for other movies the Rock is in, I want to see Moana later this year! :D
(Is it weird that I'm not really excited to see Finding Dory though? I dunno. I remember that EVERYONE loved Nemo, but its not my fav Pixar movie and Dory was... funny, but I don't know if I'll see it while it has its run in theaters.)
I really want to see Suicide Squad! That looks fascinating! And there are so many characters in it! I really wonder how it will all be handled. And I'm curious to see who the "villain" is, who are they fighting exactly?
I'm excited for Dr. Strange, not only because its' a Marvel movie, but because BC is in it XD It was around this time three years ago that I became fascinated by him, actually. I was watching all the Sherlock I could before I went to the Philippines last time too XD And, contrary to what my friends still think, yeah you know who you are, I'm not as obsessed anymore XD By a whole lot. Like, once someone is in a committed relationship and is married, and especially when they have kids, that person is totally off the table and its just weird. Plus, three years ago (look, going off topic again) I was... definitely still different. No joke, I used to think that it was God's plan for me to marry a celebrity because, well, someone had to x"D And I was all, why not him? I like his acting and stuff. Trust me, I know it sounds absurd, I used to get very easily obsessed with people I didn't even know. However, I think a lot of people can relate. A lot of people are MAJOR fans of certain celebs, whether they be American, British, or Korean, and that's what I was. Cause seriously, you ain't a major fan, if you hadn't dreamt of like marrying them and stuff, lets be honest. But now, I'm in a different place in my life, and I guess, I just don't need to play pretend like that anymore. But, heck! If I meet a celebrity and just happen to fall in love and have it be mutual, I probably ain't gonna complain XD
Oh!!! Rogue One!!!! I'm excited for that! :D Coming off of The Force Awakens, Rogue One just looks really cool and despite all the bashing of the reshoots, I'm not worried.
FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM! That looks like its gonna be sooooo good! I loved the Harry Potter music in the trailer, and how the theme was just slightly different. And I love that its an all original story, like, not linked to the movies and the other books. And I love that it seems to be for an older audience, like all of us that grew up watching HP.
Other movies I would like to see are: The Secret Life of Pets, Ghostbusters (yes, I said it), Star Trek Beyond (RIP Anton Yelchin), Jason Bourne (duuuuuuuude!!! I gotta rewatch the Bourne movies XD), Ben Hur (loved the For King and Country song they used in the most recent trailer), Underworld 5 (is that really happening?), Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (that such a cheesy title XD, sounds more like a cheesy album than a movie. However, the 1st one had great martial arts!), and Assassin's Creed (never played the game, but looks really intriguing).
I think... that's about it... So yeah! Talk to ya later! :D

Packing For Trips
I'm no stranger to packing my stuff. Whether it be for a trip or just going back and forth for school and stuff (one of these days Imma write about driving and commuting, cause man, that's-- it can be very annoying). I'm packing for a big trip, did I mention this? I can't remember, but I'm going to the Philippines for like a month and I'm one of those people that packs extra of like EVERYTHING cause I'm paranoid I'll loose something or something will get ruined or I wont be able to wash things and all that. But then I stop and remember, the Philippines is not the arctic circle or the middle of Amazon Jungle or something. Its a civilized place with a Starbucks, Burger King, and a Mc Donalds on every corner and things like CVS (though they have their own drugstores, Watsons? was it? and stuff) and supermarkets like SM. There are also like 5 malls in the area I'm going and just overall a bountiful amount of things I could buy if I needed something. (Not to mention a bountious [did I just make that word up?] supply of BOBA/Bubble Tea! <3 Love!) And so right now I've got all my luggage almost packed, I basically just need socks and toiletries but I feel like I don't have enough. Ahhhh! I know I do, and I can buy more if I need to, but I always feel like I don't have enough. Even though I'm sure there will be a few pieces that I don't even use -_- Although, it is my goal to justify everything I'm bringing and wear everything at least once! That's my goal!
And anyone who is Filipino, or do all Asians do this, knows that you gotta bring the Balikbayan boxes XD You always gotta bring stuff home for all the relatives and cousins XD We already got those good to go and at their 50 pound limit. But I kinda wish, cause those boxes then take up some of our check in luggage, that we didn't have them so that I could bring more XD But I just gotta deal and use what I got.
Oh! I'll just tell you, as well, some tips for packing so that you, hopefully, forget less stuff. What I do, is for clothes, I either start from the toes up or the head down and I think about what I wear and if I've packed them. So I go: shoes (OMG I STILL NEED TO PACK EXTRA SHOES), flip flops, socks, pants, leggings, sweats, shorts, skirts, dresses, underwear, tank tops, shirts, long sleeves, sports bras, regular bras, sweaters, jackets. Like that. I just go through everything I might wear and write them down or just mentally do it, and pack it and check it off. I don't wear any hats or scarves if you're wondering XD But if you do, feel free to add that to the list. Then for other things, I start by thinking of what I do throughout the day. Wake up, contacts, shower, soap, shampoo, conditioner, razors, towel, lotion, facial care routine stuff, sunscreen etc. Then do the same for bed and basically, just think about everything I use so that I can pack it and not forget it. So far I'm doing pretty well, but I figure that if I forget something, I can buy it, or maybe I didn't need it that bad in the first place. Or if its dire someone can send it to me XD though that's expensive. But, hey, money does a lot.
Anyway, for all of those who are traveling this summer, God Bless and be safe and have fun! :D And don't get into trouble and don't do things that you think you can do just because you're on vacation. Think before you act and hold yourselves accountable for your actions. I am not one of those people that says "do you", because I don't full agree. I say "follow God and do what you do to glorify Him" :)
And with that, see ya later! ^_^

Prince Caspian! (Some times I think Capsacin XD that pepper stuff-- Also, some Dawn Treader in here too)
So I just wanted to talk about the things I like about Prince Caspian, the movie, that is, the movie. The thing that I like the most in the movie is all the action. There is actually proper action for everyone, except Lucy XD but she does get more in the next one when she's older, and its pretty good. Its not amazing, but its pretty decent for actors that are young and have never done that kind of stuff before. I like all the action, too, because the Pevensies are supposed to have been war kings and queens and stuff when the ruled Narnia and they actually seem like it when they return too. So I liked all the action, and that Susan got to actually DO STUFF! Although Caspian still had to save her at the one point -_- That was annoying. I think they just did that because they wanted them to have "a moment". Like Ugh, I could have done without the Susan-Caspian stuff. Or at least, the way they did it. It was just... too obvious. But I'm glad it didn't like, last. Or maybe the fact that it didn't last is what's more annoying. I can't decide. But, overall, the action was good. Oh! I really liked the part where they took out the pillars for the ground and made it all come crashing and stuff, that was really cool :)
Another great part of the movie was Peter Dinklage! I really liked him, and just the overall extended cast. There were a lot of really good actors in this movie.
On a side note for the 3rd movie, and this one too, actually, but the CG that is really good is the water! They spent a lot of time and money on the water XD
They also do really well on Reep and Aslan, probably because they are main characters, but still. At least a few things are done really quite well. Oh! The dragon, when Eustace becomes a dragon in the 3rd one, that's pretty good too. So I guess, in the grand scheme of things, they did spend their CG money wisely, on the things that are most pivotal to the story.
The thing that I like the most about the movie, and all the Chronicles of Narnia movies (and the books, too, duh XD) is all the Christian-ness XD There are just so many parallels between the movies and Faith and stuff. Like, I noticed that there's a part where Peter wants to do thing his own way and attack the Telmarine Castle first and Lucy is all "You make it seem like there are only two ways to go about this, die here or die there. Did you forgot who really defeated the White Witch?" And that just reminds me of how when we get impatient for God's plan, and do out own thing, it doesn't end up working out the way we thought. We certainly learn from the experience, but it might be a lot painful that we first would have thought.
And skipping to the 3rd movie, again, I like how Aslan was all "I'm known by a different name in your world. You came here to know me better, now you must find me in yours", and its all "hello!!!! JESUS! XD" (I feel like this post is all over the place, and jumping back and forth, but that ok, XD Thats me.)
Back to the 2nd, I thought that the acting, overall, especially with the 4 kids, was really good. I like all the kids together, I think they all feed off each other and that sort of sibling-ness and it just really works. I think that's one of the parts I miss I miss in the 3rd movie, is the interaction of all the Pevensies. Its just not quite the same when it's only two of them, with the addition of their cousin. But , alas, not quite the same.
Oh! I actually really liked the Telmarines being Spanish and stuff. I think Ben Barnes' Spanish accent was fine and it made him different from the others. But, in the 3rd movie they let him use his normal British accent. So, I think that took away some of the pizzaz too.
Is that it...? It's probably not, but that's all I can remember at the moment. So... for now, just know that I really do like the Chronicles of Narnia, and I feel kinda of bad that I haven't read the books XD This is a common theme, though. For a lot of movies that were first books, I haven't read a lot of the books. I have read Harry Potter though! And... honestly, thats about it. For some things, I've read the books, but not seen the movies, but most, I've seen the movies and not read the books XD
Ok, that's all for now!!! Toodles! God Bless! ^_^

It's Intersting How You See Movies and Stuff Differently When You're Older
I'm not a "movie critic", nor do I want to be. I like watching movies and thinking about them and stuff, but I'm not one to pick them apart... Ya know, as I type that, I realize I do like to pick them apart XD but I didn't use to. Its only since I've been getting more into movies and listening to people that know more about movies than I do, that I see more and stuff. But I don't like to bash movies, I just like to find what worked for me and what didn't. However, if you've read my previous posts about a certain Japanese Drama and its Korean predecessor... then you know how... detailed I can get XD And how... passionate my... distaste can be XD So maybe I am a critic in my own way, but I didn't go to school for it or even take one class on movies really, so I'm not a professional by any means, but I think through practice and learning after others I've developed my "sense of movies".
And I certainly notice that as I get older I find that when I was younger I pretty much liked everything XD I know that complaining about the Prequels (Star Wars, that is) is like a favorite of a lot of people, but honestly... since I saw them as a younger feller, I wasn't as critical and I enjoyed them XD I haven't seen them in a a while though, so I'm not sure how I'd feel if I saw them now. Though, I do admit, that whats his name... that plays Anakin... yeah... not the best actor, back then at least XD I dunno if he's gotten better, but he's just not quite the right fit for that character, or maybe... the whole movies were just a jumbled mess, as probably most Star Wars connoisseurs would say.
Anyway, I'm watching the 3rd Narnia movie now, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and... its not as good as the first two. Visually, I think its probably more beautiful, but... somehow its just not as good. I like Prince Caspian the best, and the first one is right behind, but this one is a bit farther behind. I think that thing that's bothering me the most, is the CG. Like... Its just not that good. Like I can tell that sooooo many things are CG and its so apparent that it take me out and just makes it so much less believeable. Like, the story is fine, I'm fine with the story and most everything, but the CG is just... Not the best. And I'm watching it on Blu-Ray, sort of an early ish one, and I think its making the CG more obvious. All the practical stuff looks great, but the CG is just... just not good. Well, actually let me put it this way, its good, but its not great. Its like if they just spent a week or two more it could have been a lot better. But then again, I think we're so used to picking out CG now that unless its Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Jungle Book good, we're gonna say that its' terrible XD
And the 2nd thing that sort of bothers me is some of the acting. But I can't tell if its the acting that the actors are bringing or the direction about their characters that they were given. And even though he's the most annoying, the kid that plays Eustace, who I think was also in the Maze Runner, he's really good! He's properly annoying XD But the others... I dunno, its a little off. But, this is just coming off of Prince Caspian, which I said is my fav and I think I'll write a separate thing on it now XD
Till then! Toodles! ^_^

Narnia! Dude, I'd love to find that wardrobe!
Even as a kid, I thought, at the end, when (spoiler alert, but seriously this movie is already more than 10 years old) the Pevensie's have all grown up in Narnia and ruled for like... 10-20 years (its hard to tell how much they were supposed to have aged at the end) they find the wardrobe and pop back in England and they revert back to their younger bodies. Now, I dunno about anyone else, but just imagine that you spent the last 10 to 15 years ruling a kingdom and then BOOM! You're back in your younger bodies in a place you have basically forgot about it. Considering how the kids reacted when the Professor found them, I think if I were in that situation I'd be a lot more freaked out. Like, BOOM! 25 back to 10 years old! How would you feel???? I've always thought about that, and how... easy they seemed to have just gone back to their old lives. Like, did their minds also revert back? Did they forget everything all of a sudden? I said yesterday that it was my birthday, and I ain't gonna tell you exactly how old I am, but I think I've said before that I'm in my 20's. I've learned A LOT in the past 10 years of my life, heck! Even the past 2 years I've gone through a lot, more than I thought I'd have to, and I'm different. I am. I'm older, smarter, wiser? Basically, I'm not the same. But I don't know how I'd feel if all of a sudden I was plopped back into 10 year old me or something. Like, I don't even remember what I was doing 10 years ago on my birthday. I can probably look through pics and then find those memories, but if I was suddenly in my younger body, that'd be... just wierd and slightly traumatic I'd think. Like, really think about that. And thats what happened to them! They are not old, but in their younger bodies. I'd actually really have loved to see a movie, or even read about what they were like after that, because holy crap would that take a lot of getting used to. And were any of them married? Have kids? Have relationships? They left ALL that behind with no way of getting back. And since time moves so differently they know that if they got back, even like a few mintutes or hours later who knows how much time would have passed in Narnia? And what about that happened to Narnia? Like, woah. One min they have kings and queens, and the next not. Just... I'm one of those people that really thinks about details and backstory and the things that happen when the story isn't being told. I always have questions like that, and event though its seemingly handled well in the movie, just imagine how that would really go! Like, its just mind baffling to me.
Well... I think I'll just stop here, cause I think you get what I'm saying and stuff, but man, I couldn't imagine, well I can, but it probably doesn't do it justice, as to how they all would have felt and stuff after they got back to Earth. Like... woah.

Insert Battle Cry Here
I'm almost done with the first Chronicles of Narnia movie, I decided to rewatch it since I hadn't seen it in a couple years, and I got a few things to say XD but I'm just gonna focus on one thing that I see in a lot of movies. And that is, the charging battle cry that people yell out when they are gonna attack someone. And not, like when you're in an army and you do a battle cry with other people, but when that ONE person is charging at someone else and they're like yelling the whole way. I'm always like, "really". -_- Cause you know that, by yelling, you are, in fact, alerting your adversary to your position and the fact that you are going to attack. -_- Like, didn't you want this to be a surprise of sorts?
Now, I know, I know, this isn't a huge deal, but mostly I just want to let people know, that, if you are trying to sneak attack someone, dont, please don't, do some personal battle cry thing XD Cause really -_- its just not going to work and its going to ruin everything. But! If you're in a pack of people then by all means do it XD But not if you're alone, its dumb and you'll look dumb and its just gonna be dumb.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So it was my birthday today. Please, please, stop bowing, hinder the applause XD Nah, but seriously, it was just a quiet birthday, did some errands, did some shopping, spent some time with the Lord, ate some sweets and then watched Narnia! And now I have to do the dishes... Yeah... But, I just wanted to write something short cause I've been on a little roll this week XD I have more thoughts on Narnia though, and I'll probably write something now but then post it later. So, until then! Toodles!

Why do Headlines gotta be so annoying? (What liket this one? XD )
I feel like I'm never really sure who's side "the media" is on... You know what I mean? There are a couple sections I see on the news, and some are fine but others... I feel are definitely more skewed. Everyone's got the weather, ya gotta know that XD And there is local news and news from around the country and once in a while, the world. There is also the funny bits (or maybe thats just local stations, I feel like I don't see much humour on CNN and stuff, but rarely do I watch that) and the parts that seem to redeem all the downer stories.
My main, problem, I guess with media is that it shows us what it wants to show us. I think there are some reporters that do a good job of "getting the whole story" or "being neutral" but honestly I think a lot of it is biased but its disguising itself as not. I know there are some stations that are more liberal and more conservative and stuff, but not one is perfect.
The thing that annoys me most about mass media (and if you hadn't gathered, I'm talking mostly about tv news and stuff) is the headlines. The headlines annoy me a lot because they just put all the trigger words in there that get people's attention, even if it doesn't truly reflect the situation. I'm sure everyone in America knows about the mass shooting in Orlando now, and this morning, also in Orlando, a toddler was evidently dragged into a lake by an alligator at Disney World. Both, very horrific and sad, sad, events. Death is never to be taken lightly, especially when its murder, and especially when children are involved. But the headlines for these events were so in your face and all caps that they just annoyed me. The title hypes up the incident so much that sometimes you hear the story and you're just like "really? I'm so annoyed by your headline I can't focus on the story and how sad it actually is".
I'm gonna jump around just a bit, but I saw The Jungle Book yesterday, and it got me thinking, that way back when, when we didn't have the technological luxuries that we have now, I don't think that someone being dragged (and killed, probably killed and eaten, I mean, lets be realistic ((and now everyone thinks i'm being too harsh now)) its an alligator) into a lake by an alligator would have been such a... whats the word I'm looking for? It wouldn't have been as surprising as someone just killing a whole bunch of people. Cause in the Jungle Book, its a kids story, obv, but it makes you realize, that animals are scary! Especially the big ones with giant teeth and claws! And they gotta eat something. It was probably more often that someone lost their life to an animal than another human being. (And I'm talking, like way back! Waaaaay back!) I dunno, just a thought. Not diminishing the loss of life either way, but its interesting how we get used to things like shootings but we're really surprised when animals attack humans.
Anyway, going back to where I started, the headlines for these events are always so eye catching. The one for the shooting that i first saw was "WORST MASS SHOOTING IN US HISTORY". Then the next headline had something to do with "Gay Night Club" and you know that they are just trying to trigger people by categorizing this. People are people! And People died, you don't need to be bringing all that into this right now news. And the headline for the alligator thing was "TRAGEDY AT DISNEY WORLD", and my first thought was "another shooting". But then you listen and its an alligator. -_- Like, I dunno. the headlines just bother me because all the do is alarm you and try to get you to be sad and/or angry, and it just bothers me. They also make it seem like there is literally no other news going on around the entire world. Like seriously? People, Christians are being persecuted and driven out of their homes and down right murdered in the Middle East and in other areas by (should I say it? I will) Isis militants, and do we ever hear about that? No. We hear what they want us to hear and its not even like, probably a tenth of what is really going on. Ugh.
Can you tell I'm annoyed? Cause I am. I guess what I'm trying to say in all of this is, you just gotta be careful with what people say, I guess. And you gotta get your news from people you trust. And I'd say get your news from more than one place so you can get different perspectives too.
It's a difficult world out there, we gotta navigate a lot of things! Luckily, those of us that have Christ, don't have to do it alone. And I pray every day for guidance and for grace and to keep me safe. Although, with all these headlines of death, it just makes you think that when its your time, its your time. However, there is always a bright side :) There are always survivors, I think God makes sure to not let the bad people get away with everything ya know. And in the end, the bad people will be punished if the don't repent.
Well! I think that's it for now. Bit of an abrupt ending but i gotta finish getting ready, AH!! XD
Sm hope you have a great day! God Bless and dont worry :)

Moana! :D
Did you see the teaser trailer for Moana? I did! XD It's on YT if you want to, but its a new Disney Animated movie, coming up and I'm actually pretty excited cause Moana, if you can't tell by the name is Pacific Islander! I don't know a ton except from whats on the Wikipedia page and a few other things because I like to keep up with movie news, but I just love the idea that there is another, well imma just say it, non-white main character of a movie. XD Cause I know that you know what I mean. You look at movies and tv shows, real or animated and you tell me the ratio of white people to non whites. Hmmmm. And Asians and Pacific Islanders are like, especially scarce! I know! I look! I look for asians in TV and movies and its like "Oh, I think I saw him... yeah, in the crowd of extras."
-_-
Or maybe there is a guest star or something that is Asian, like on the weekly crime/cop shows, but rarely are Asians truly a main character in American TV. Don't tell me you haven't noticed! 0_o
I wonder what its like in other countries. And I know what Korean dramas are like, and Japanese ones, but those countries are still pretty homogenous, so they don't have to put other people in their shows if they don't need to. But America is supposed to be all diverse and stuff, and yet, is it represented? No -_- Don't tell me that there aren't still racist people. There are. ANYWAY. Sorta off topic.
But I am just excited cause one, it looks super cute and bright and just visually gorgeous! I'm sure its gonna be really funny too cause its by the Directors of The Princess and the Frog, and that was funny! XD And even just the little bit in the teaser looks funny. The Rock is pretty hilarious! What else? I dunno, Disney makes pretty good movies, I haven't hated a Disney movie in... probably never... actually. I haven't seen all of them, but I think they're all done pretty well. Uh... Sorry, I just was on my phone for a bit, trying to think of what to do for my birthday! Cause its only two days away!! Woot woot! But omg, of topic, but i'm so boring. I never know what to do. I sorta miss the days when your parents planned your birthday. Now its like "who wants to hang out?" then "Ok, what are we gonna do? And where are we gonna go?" XD It doesn't help when you're on a budget too, ya know You can't just do whatever. It might not be in range... ANYWAY
Closing thoughts! Moana comes out in November I believe and I will do my best to see it opening weekend! If not opening night! :D Will you see it???
-_-

Is it just me?
Well I haven't posted in a while! XD Its odd, I'm out of school... and yet I seem to have less time to be on the computer... Huh... Anyway. I was opening up a new thing of my favorite chicken strips from Costco (I'm too lazy to actually go back to the freezer and check on what the brand is... But its like "Rocky" or something) and it has a resealable package. However, I quickly realized the the resealable part was really close to where its sealed off and you're supposed to cute below, ya know. And so now, in order to get it open, I have this Not-So-Resealable whole... Does this happen to anyone else? XD Cause I feel like this happens like every other time I'm faced with a supposed "resealable" package. Well, the frozen ones mostly. But sometimes it happens with other ones. And I know, its totally a first world problem and its easily solved with, like tape, or a rubber band, but still. Its supposed to be a resealable package... and yet because the tear away part was too close, now its not a resealable package... yeah...
So, I go on vacation soon, and I'm gonna try to write things ahead of time and then schedule the posts so that this thing stay more or less active XD But, in the mean time, have a great day! :D
PS- Costco was out of my favorite hummus that I use with the chicken Dx oh woe is me!!! Jk, but I was slightly frantic yesterday, and then I was all "gurl, its just hummus, I'm sure they'll get it back... eventually" Cause you never know with Costco. If it doesn't sell well enough in that Costco they will take it out 0_o They've done that with some of my favs. But alas! I shall go on! XD
