This is going to be my ONLY football entry because I am not a big fan of the sport neither am I following the sport seriously for whatever reason.

But I just had to write about the fact that Shebby's MyTeam lost by only 1 goal!!

Consider the fact that MyTeam has only been practising as a team for 3 months and went up against a national team. They also scored the first goal within 34 minutes of the game. Then the Malaysian team suddenly realised what was going on and decided to score another one before the end of the first half. And it looked like it went in as a fluke.

When the Malaysian team scored the second goal, it was only in the second half of the game. I was watching it and the second goal was the only good one. It went up high enough to be out of reach of the goalie and just inside the goal itself. That was a good goal.

I'm just really (pleasantly) surprised that MyTeam had such a good defense that it gave the Malaysian team a run for the money. I just personally find it funny that a team that took only 3 months of practise could make a national team really, really run around the field so much.
Don't you agree that in this world we live in, being a two-faced in normal?

To survive, you need you hide some of yourself and show some other?

Me? I'm multi-faceted.

I may not spell too well and my vocabulary may be shot to hell but at least I have a life and I know when to move on. Most of all, I've accepted myself and I'm happy. I always have a back-up plan and I've chosen not to whine (unless you're Shook. In which case, I just enjoy whining because it's acceptable. And even then, I don't push my luck). Also, I watch what I say and how I act because someone, somewhere might just be laughing at me if I don't.

Most of all, I keep my complaints to a minimum and I'm allowed to bitch because scientific studies say women have about a 20,000 word quota a day. Also, women de-stress by talking while men should be out with the boys to de-stress.

Women also multi-task better because we're biologically programmed to cook, wash the dishes, do the laundry, take care of the baby and still be able to listen to what our husbands are saying or not saying.

Women are weaker? I'm not a women's lib person because I believe that a woman is in her father's care until she gets married in which time her husband is supposed to care for her. At the same time, you try and go through hours of excruciating pain while trying to expel a human from your womb and see if you can be considerd weaker.

And if you are a guy who is acting like a girl, my advice is...dude! Come out of the closet already! I'm sure we can introduce you to someone who can help...

Age

Have you noticed how the younger a person is the more jiwang they are?

I mean, I deal with teenagers all day. I listen to them a lot. So when I say something about teenagers, trust me, I'm not blowing hot air. I know what I'm saying.

A few of my students have me on their IM list and I see the nicknames they use as well as the display names they've typed in. And the things they say are so hilarious. Things like 'I love him but he doesn't notice', 'My heart is breaking because you don't know how much I love you', 'Fuck off, bitch. He's mine!', 'I like her but she likes someone else' and best yet 'I like this girl but someone else likes me. What do I do?'

And then when you ask them about it, they won't tell. What the hell did you think when you advertise it all over the internet? That nobody would ask? Then you're a big fool. Or maybe...they want you to ask so that they'll know someone is reading or so that they will feel 'cherished'. I wonder if it has ever occured to them that someone might also be laughing at them?

But these are kids. And they behave as kids do.

They will learn as kids do too.

Now, if you show me a 'matured' adult who does this...then I'll start to worry about what our world is coming to.
I finally decided to pluck up the courage to watch Supernatural tonight after my dance class and was pleasantly surprised to see Amy Acker. The last time I saw her was as Illyria on Angel. Illyria was an impressive character but I felt that she didn't get much character development. But then again, the show was in its last season so I couldn't expect too much to happen.

And AXN just censored the remote chance to see Amy's nakedness. Haha! Not that I want to see her naked. She looks emancipated and reminds me of an equally skinny, flat but uglier ex-friend I know. And she's bow-legged. I told Shook and he said "Maybe her underwear is too tight!". Which reminds me of Danny from CSI:NY. Haha!

Wow! I just realise that Amy Acker was in Alias and was the voice of Huntress in Justice League. Fascinating. Too bad I can't stand Alias and barely have time or energy for any TV show other than the CSIs.

Supernatural is pretty good. It's filmed in such a stark look that you can see almost every single pore on Jensen Eckles's face. I'm waiting for Hex as well. I might as well watch it since I'm out here and too hyped up to sleep just yet. Eck! Hex is very English and is said to be an adult version of Buffy. I love the music though. And the fact that there are no distracting hotties. Although there is a lesbian crush going on. Yep, definitely an English Buffy.

One more class and I'm done with dancing. But Serina says I could come in once in awhile to practise.

I've not been writing very much the past few weeks, I think. I can only blame it on the fact that I managed to reach a point I never knew I could ever reach and yet still walk back in one piece.

Well, it's not as dramatic as it sounds, really. With the election going on, I've decided to stay out of that particular bandwagon and not say anything about it despite being involved in it indirectly. I hear stories from people who are in the field and it sometimes amuses me how deluded outsiders tend to be about something they actually know nothing about. Then again, I suppose it's nicer to be deluded than to face the painful reality. I'd do it, too....if I had the option.

On the entertainment front, I went to watch Mission Impossible 3 with the usual bunch of people. It's nice to watch movies together and then find out how much we hated or loved it. Personally, I'd recommend that only diehard fans of Tom Cruise or Alias go and watch this movie. If you were ever a fan of the original Mission Impossible, this movie will definitely make you shoot yourself in the foot....just to ease the boredom. Let me put it this way....compared to Shook, I tend to be slow figuring out movie plots/mysteries. But with MI3, I figured out there was a mole before they figured it out, I knew who the mole was before the movie revealed there was one and by the time the last half of the movie rolled by, I was not only restless and begging the movie to end but I was also starting to make comments throughout the movie. And this only happens when the movie bores me to death! Even the action sequences weren't able to help....and I usually love action sequences.

I do admit that the only part that make me sit up and grin is when the Malaysian Airlines name appeared. Twice. And tonight, Shook told me and Rin that the only reason J.J. Abrams got to be director as because he was a scientologist! And yet, some citizens of Malaysia make our country sound like the worst there ever is!

On another end, Rin and I have been talking about bandwagons. I've been hearing this word a lot the past few days. It makes me so glad that I have resisted bandwagons since I was young because I've always thought the idea was very....sad. I tried it once...with New Kids on The Block. How did I feel? Stupid and illogical and like I had no control of my own choices. I just felt like the biggest dumbass that ever existed. So I decided never to do it again. So throughout the years when skirts became short then mid-length then short then long, I stuck to my long flair skirts and jeans. Good old jeans!

Over the years, due to this stubbornness, I found that I was watching shows or reading books or anything before anyone else I knew was doing it. I was nuts over Dune and Kyle MacLachlan before anyone else I knew even realised it was such a great series. I was fangirling over Rick Hunter and Robotech while other girls in my school were still stuck on Mickey Mouse. Speaking of which, I never liked him. I always preferred Donald. Then there was Quantum Leap and X-Files before anyone else even knew there was Quantum Leap and X-Files. Then again, I cheated. I had a penpal in the US who was as nuts over those shows as I was. There was always my mob obsession. And then there was the Pretender and Millennium while I was in the US. Then my vampire obsession took me to Buffy and Angel before anyone here knew there was going to be a series, much less watched it! My only lament when I came home from the US was that I was missing Buffy and couldn't see Angel. And when Angel got his own series...oh! I was so there!

Then 5 years ago, CSI walked in and my self-control walked out. Even when my parents went to the US, they knew to get me CSI merchandise. Now, there are Miami and New York. Shook, Rin and I now have New York Tuesdays and Vegas-Miami Wednesdays. By next week, we'll have Numbers Mondays and I have Bones Fridays.

Some people may sit and judge me and say I have no life. If you consider how much TV I don't watch, it's lucky I even know what days what comes on. I only watch shows that I find have fascinating storylines. I don't watch it for the hot guys. Like my cousin 'big brother' and I always say, 'We look for brains and a sense of humour. Looks is the bonus but never the requirement'. I may say a guy is hot but I'll never even consider him if he's dull and predictable. And when I describe people, I rarely begin with their looks. My first words always tend to be 'He's a nice guy' or 'He's fun. I like him'. If you ask me what he looks like, I always need to stop and think because looks are never my yardstick.

As for blogging, if I was a bandwagon kind of person, I'd only be doing it now when everyone else is doing it and getting attention for it. But I started it because Mac talked me into and I was bored one school break and wanted to learn something new.

What has this to do with bandwagons? Read the Wiki entry for it. It explains all this better than I can.

As for everything else in my life...that's a whole different blog entry. Maybe later...

And if you don't like clowns, read Dean Koontz's Life Expectancy. It's almost like Stephen King's It but less paranormal.
Bones!!!

NTV7 will be showing Bones!! On Friday at 8.30 p.m. starting May 5th!!

Bones!!!

Actually, I'm only squeeing about it because of David Boreanaz!

So I like him. Some people use the word fangirl. And make that word sound like a bad word. Sheesh!! Get normal, why don't you?
