Speaking as a Lovesick Teen...

I'm in love with Raymond Lam. It makes sense because he looks like Louis Koo, my original crush of many years, but Raymond is just younger. Oh my goodness. I sound like a cougar. Hahaha!! Well, anyway, Raymond, my love, has a fantastic voice and when his hair is nice and clean cut, uuuggghhhh, he just looks sooooo hot. So yummy.

Here's my ex. Hahaha...


And here's my new love...


This is a video of him singing. His voice is pretty good. :)



And here he is in the awesome soap I'm watching now speaking English. It's funny. :)

Moonlight Resonance

I've always been a huge fan of Chinese soaps. Moonlight Resonance is my latest addiction. This 40 chapter masterpiece at 40 minutes a chapter offers hours and hours and hours of mouth-dropping drama, humor, suspense... everything!!! I'm already dreading the final chapter. Once it's over, I will be suffering from major withdrawal. In the meantime though, this is the best thing ever!

Weird Dreams Again

I've been having a lot of dreams about animals lately. They're pretty strange.

1. I dreamed that I was at the foot of some mountains, probably in Costa Rica somewhere, getting ready to give a horseback ride... yeah, g-i-v-e a horseback ride... to a horse. This horse was strange. Its body parts could disassemble. I remember taking off the head and gingerly placed it on the ground, afraid of hurting it. When it was time to embark on our little trek with the rest of the group, the horse got onto my back. Boy was it heavy! But I didn't complain. My only concern was its comfort. I rubbed and patted its leg and asked, "Are you okay? Are you comfy?"



2. The very next night, I had a dream that I was given a really cute puppy. The cutest little puppy I've ever seen. I loved it so much and wanted to protect it so stuck it in the back of my pants, like inside my pants, almost in my butt crack. Haha... Every once in a while, I'd take it out to pet it and admire it. The last time I retrieved it from inside of my pants, I noticed it was sort of hard and no longer moving. I placed it on the ground. Took a few steps back, and realized that this puppy I loved so much was dead. In the attempt of protecting it, I killed it. As I stared in grief and horror, he turned into an orchid petal. Before I had any time to react, it turned into a pile of mush. I had to clean up the mess. As I wiped up with a towel, I felt some bones amid the puddle of my liquified puppy. :(



3. Just a couple of nights ago, I dreamed that I was trying to get home via the subway. I walked up a long flight of winding stairs to find overcast skies and an unkept beach. Looked kinda like Ocean Beach, actually! This was obviously not home, so I started to go back down the stairs. Since the opening was made of sand, it started to crack a little. Afraid that it would collapse, I went back up. All of a sudden, my friend, Mae, and a bunch of other strangers appeared and started down the stairs. I called to Mae, "Mae! Be careful! I heard it cracking earlier. I think it's gonna collapse!! Be careful!!" She waved to me in acknowledgement but continued anyway. Right afterwards, I heard a huge craaaacckkkk and the whole thing fell into the ground. Everybody was gone. Everything was lifeless.

Cut. Next scene. I was held captive by Amazonian warriors. My brother was beside me. I saw Mae and the rest of the people who perished in front of me close by. I was relieved they weren't dead. Instead of bounding us with ropes or twine, we were to pair up and hold a piece of rope. Each person holds one end. We were not to let go. My brother suddenly had an urge to take a bath. I rolled my eyes. "Are you serious?! You wanna take a bath NOW?!" He insisted on it, so I followed him holding my end of the rope. As I turned the other way while he was bathing, I shook my head in disbelief. We were prisoners with no idea of what our future held and there he was taking a bath... A hand stuck out in front of me holding a platter of meat. It was raw meat. The man (who was the owner of this hand) gestured to me to eat this. I picked up a piece of flesh and flipped it over. There were blue and red and green feathers on the other side. Oh god. It looked awfully like a macaw, a beautiful bird of the Amazon. I managed to tear away chunks of flesh with my teeth. It was really nasty. The man then confirmed that I was eating a macaw.

Dumbest Reason to be Stuck in Traffic

I was stuck in sluggish traffic on my way up to San Ramon for about half an hour today. I just assumed there was a stalled vehicle, minor accident, you know, the norm. Didn't really spend any time thinking about it. As I was approaching the Sheridan exit, I noticed three people standing at the overpass waving to all the commuters below. My initial thought was that they were pretty amusing, a good break from the frustration that's built up in the past half hour, until things started speeding up right after I drove under the overpass. I couldn't believe they were the reason for the traffic jam! Three stupid adults waving to drivers below could cause such a hectic drive. I saw two motorcycle cops whiz by as I approached them. I hope those people got a beat down! Just kidding. I do not condone violence... for the most part. :)

Dodgeball

A few friends and I are gathering tomorrow to play a good ol' game of dodgeball. The dodgeball I played in elementary school is very different from what was shown in "Dodgeball", the movie. In school, what we did was split into two teams. One team who is armed with red rubber balls forms a circle while the other team groups up in the middle. The game starts when the team on the outside (Team A) starts throwing balls at the people inside (Team B). Whoever gets hit is out. If a member of Team B catches a ball and throws and strikes a Team A member, that person in Team A is out. I guess the "real" version of dodgeball is sort of similar except that both teams are behind lines. Well, our dodgeball game tomorrow will be quite interesting. We'll be playing with rollerblades on. Since I'm horribly uncoordinated in inline skates, I will need lots of luck, so send some good energy this way please.

If any of you are interested, here are the rules I got from dodgeballusa.com.

THE TEAM
Teams will be made up of 6-10 players. Six(6) players will compete on a side; others will be available as substitutes. Substitutes may enter the game only during timeouts or in the case of injury.

THE FIELD
The game may be played indoors or outdoors. The playing field shall be a rectangle at least 50 ft long and at least 30 ft wide, divided into two (2) equal sections by a center-line and attack-lines 3m from, and parallel to the centerline.

IDEAL MEASUREMENTS: 60’ x 30’ – Identical to a volleyball court.

THE EQUIPMENT
The official ball used in tournament and league play will be an 8.25" rubber-coated foam ball.

THE GAME
The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "OUT". This may be done by:

1. Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the shoulders.

2. Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.

Definition: LIVE: A ball that has been thrown and has not touched anything, including the floor/ground, another ball, another player, official or other item outside of the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc)

BOUNDARIES
During play, all players must remain within the boundary lines. Players may leave the boundaries through their end-line only to retrieve stray balls. They must also return through their end-line.

THE OPENING RUSH
Game begins by placing the dodgeballs along the center line – three (3) on one side of the center hash and three (3) on the other. Players then take a position behind their end line. Following a signal by the official, teams may approach the centerline to retrieve the balls. This signal officially starts the contest. Teams may only retrieve the three (3) balls to their right of the center hash. Once a ball is retrieved it must be taken behind the attack-line before it can be legally thrown.

TIMING AND WINNING A GAME
The first team to legally eliminate all opposing players will be declared the winner. A 3-minute time limit has been established for each contest. If neither team has been eliminated at the end of the 3 minutes, the team with the greater number of players remaining will be declared the winner. Details on overtime can be found in the NADA Rule Book.

TIME-OUTS & SUBSTITUTIONS
Each team will be allowed one (1) 30 second timeout per game. At this time a team may substitute players into the game.

5-SECOND VIOLATION
In order to reduce stalling, a violation will be called if a team in the lead controls all six (6) balls on their side of the court for more than 5 seconds. This also applies to tied teams. More details can be found in the NADA Rule Book

Whew!

So the 2008 Summer Olympics are over and was a great success. What I'm relieved about is that Juselino Nóbrega da Luz was wrong about the Olympics being a failure! (I wrote a little about him in a July post.) I just hope he is wrong about everything else!!

Tree Sitters

Man! Those tree sitters in Berkeley are far more annoying than some of my relatives. If it was up to me, I'd just chop down those trees whether they're in there or not. That'll teach them a lesson. They probably already lost sight of what they're fighting for anyway. It's been so freakin' long. I can't imagine how much of the taxpayers' money was used because of these protesters... Stupid people.
