Report Card Day

For the sixth and eighth graders of our school, Report Card Day is tomorrow.
NOOOOO!!!
Normally, I would have been calm and said, "It's no big deal," because that was when I was an "E" student. However, in this semester, I have New Testament. That should be enough explanation! I am probably going to get an "F!" No....a super F! An F+! If there is such a grade...
But I am definitely not getting a E. I have "the feeling." The teacher has given only 2 E+'s in his 23 years of teaching!
You know why how I know? 'Cuz I did not do well on the tests! In fact, they were the worst tests in my life!
The funny thing is, I do read and take notes....well, I take notes most of the time.
But I read.
However, to help with the situation, I have a really bad memory. People who know me well will say I have a REALLY bad memory. Like...I will forget what we talked about two minutes ago. Or, I will forget I am holding my pencil. Or, I will study right before the test or else I forget completely. And guess what? New Testament is all about reading and remembering. I am pretty much doing one half, but I'm completely out on the other!
I have next quarter to do better I guess, and work on my memory. If only I could live that long.
I'll just let you know, I will die tomorrow. I will either be murdered, or I will commit suicide. Or, I will live a life of torture, something worse than death...I think. So do not be surprised if you do not see me at school two days later. For my elementary school and distant friends, do not be surprised if I never call or talk to you. To all you blog readers, do not be surprised if I do not post anything anymore. You know why? 'Cuz I'll be dead.
Dead as a doornail.

Japanese People Always Come Up With The Cool Stuff

Have you ever noticed how Japanese people come up with all the cool things. Well aside from apple (which is an American company). They came up with all the cool electronics (most well known, DS and DSI). Not only do they have cool gadgets and highly secure buildings and some of the best make-up products in the world (In my opinion) and origami and amigurumi, but now they have all the coolest candies in the world. Yes they do. Some of them come in kits and stuff. They are so much cooler than the American stuff, but watch the videos and see for yourself.

송지은(시크릿)_미친거니(Feat. 방용국) - Song Ji Eun - Going Crazy (Feat.Bang Yong Guk)

Ummmmm..What can I say...? I went around Youtube and a bunch of people that I know told me about it. When I watched it I was like .... It was really confusing at first (because I watched the video without English subtitles at first). Then I watched the one with the subtitles. Then I was like ohhhhhhh. So that's how it was. If you have not seen the video, then you should go to the link below or you can just ignore me and read the post and ruin the video for yourselves. So in the video the singer is not part of the plot. It's her song and she's singing it. The rapper is also not part of the plot, he's just there to rap. You have to read the subtitles to understand the song and the plot. The first thing that came into my mind half a second into the song was "Stalker!". I think the song is about two people who are in a relationship and one of the two start to develop an unnatural obsession for the other, like they can't stand being away from the other even for one second. They start to follow the other. The one being followed feels oppressed, so they try to run away. At first I thought that the girl was the one being oppressed since it's a female singing the part of the oppressed person. When she took out the lighter I thought she was going to commit suicide because she couldn't her boyfriend's obsession anymore. Then at the end she stops the car and opens the trunk. SHE HAS HER FREAKING BOYFRIEND IN THERE!!! The parts were actually switched. I also noticed that before there was a scene of the rapper and his hands were tied. Some might think that the female is the one being oppressed and that she TIED UP HER BOYFRIEND AND KILLED HIM because she couldn't take it anymore, but if that was the case, then why bother to kiss the stalker!!!?? Just kill him and get it over with. The boyfriend does look kind of scared though. Like when she pours the oil all over him and makes and trail. Even under the blindfolds you can tell that he's like "Crap, crap, crap." I think that the girl realizes that the boy doesn't love her anymore, so she's like "If I can't have him then no one can". You can see her initial hesitation before she throws the match and lights her boyfriend and her car on fire.
Now it's time for my video review: I loved the song. The singer's voice mixing with the rapper's was a beautiful combination. However, they have missed some very important details. She just lit her car on fire, in the middle of nowhere. I don't think she can walk back and I don't think she'll have much luck of getting a ride. I mean, she looks like a prostitute in those clothes. I really did like the song and the video. I never knew that a song about a stalker could sound so good.

喜羊羊与灰太狼- Happy Goat and Big Wolf

Hello all Chinese speakers! Many of you guys have probably heard of the cartoon 喜羊羊与灰太狼. It used to be one of my favorite cartoon when I was younger. The song was so addicting!. I spotted the DVD today and I was like "I remember that cartoon!". My favorite character was 喜羊羊. The cartoon was so cute and funny ^_^ I watched the Mandarin version, but I think this show also has a Cantonese version too. According to my friends, this cartoon is very popular in China. The cartoon is about a group of goats who are all friends. There is an elderly goat 慢羊羊 who is wise and somewhat of a mad scientist. I think he is the mayor Green Grassland where the goats live and a teacher. 喜羊羊 is the leader of the goats and is always wearing blue shoes and a blue bell. He is the most handsome goat in Green Grassland. 美羊羊 is a pretty goat in Green Grassland and she is always wearing pink bows and pink shoes. I think she is very cute.懒羊羊 is a very fat and lazy goat. He is always falling asleep. I'm surprised at how well I remember the film. 沸羊羊 is a very strong goat. He has a crush on 美羊羊 and he likes to bully 懒羊羊. Ummm and I think he likes boxing. The goats are always getting into trouble with the two wolfs. 灰太狼 and his wife 红太狼. 红太狼 wants to eat goat so she sends her husband 灰太狼 to Green Grassland to catch goat for her. 灰太狼 is not very bright and gets tricked/caught/kicked out of the village by the goats very easily. When he goes he always shouts " 我一定会回来的!" or " I'll be back for sure!". 红太狼 is very demanding, dressed in a red robe with a black and white trim, and when her husband comes back with no goats for her to eat (almost all the time). She hits him with a frying pan. 小灰灰 is 红太狼 and 灰太狼's son. The title of this cartoon literally translates to "Happy Goat and Big Wolf".

Here is the song that I am so fond of:

" It was nice getting lost with you."


On Monday March 28, my fellow blogger and I got lost on the 2 train. We were leaving our school at the regular, late time we always do. We went in to the train station and waited with a group of school mates. A miniute later the 3 train came. We all entered the train planning to get off on 135st. Well, we got off there. That is where the trouble started. We waited, loudly, until the 2 train came. All but I got on. The train was too crowded so everyone but Lisa (fellow blogger) got off. She did not want to get off. So I was told to get on with her by the others. Well, that was a mistake. The darn 2 train ran on a 3 train line and took us to 148st. We were scared. we were going nuts, bonkers, wild. That was when a man who heard my "We're gonna die. It's all your fault Lisa!" cry and helped us. He helped use to the bus stop where we saw our friend and her mother. We took the 19 bus. There was this guy in the bus that was so funny and sexist. He was screaming at the driver and guessed she was a female. Like two stops away from 149st the lady said that she is going to stop the bus because some of her clients were being difficult. We then got off and walked with the man to the train station. Lisa went to the 4 train and I went with the guy to the 2 train. He got me home. My dad did not believe me. He also said that Lisa and I were stupid because that man " could have lead" us " to hell and beyond!" My friend Shrutikona said so too.
