Let's just say, I haven't found the time nor the passion to really sit down on my baby blue armchair and type this thing out. But finally, somehow, today I have. Well, not so much on my baby blue chair.. I started out lounging on my sister's bed till my battery nearly went flat.

November 4th. Does the youth of America realize how important it is to vote? The future -- YOUR future in America is dependent on your vote. I get so peeved when those people are so apathetic about the presidential campaign. One of them told me, "I don't care, either way we'll go into war." I rest my case.

I think Americans need to be grateful for their freedom of speech. Imagine if we had that here in Singapore; it would be catastrophic and prisons would be FILLED. Personally, I feel like Singapore has this hold on me (I'm probably not alone in this, but eh) and there are so many things here which I absolutely detest. They definitely aren't helping me change my mind about wanting to move out (of the country). I've been wondering and pondering over my decision, of course, it's not like I have the monetary privileges to even MAKE a decision, but I'm starting to feel like there isn't anything here to hold me back. Is it because I'm only 19 years old? And I'm at that age where the 'give me freedom or give me death!' stage starts acting up? Now I'm wondering if there will be anything colossally important enough in 2 years' time to change my mind? How long will it be before I actually do get out of here?

In other matters, I don't know what's the status of the who-what-when-where-why-how situation of ours. To be honest, everytime I say I'm sick of it all, you turn around and make me fall all over again. Why? I feel like we're playing a game of tennis; match point, but we're just hitting the tennis ball back and forth. We're not going anywhere and I'm bored, I want to play another sport, I want to win. I'm saying "Shit, I can't deal with this." Seriously, please just give me an answer, straight up. Yes or No.

So what's been on my mind? Not much I guess. I'm glad my Sox are now 1-0 against the Rays. Will we make it to the Finals? Wow, I really hope so.

In other matters, I'm sick, again. My throat is feeling seriously hoarse and sore; my nose keeps leaking mucus.

As I have stated in my previous post, I have been avoiding blogging. It's not just the fact that the Patriots are looking pretty *gag* right now, but I've been swamped with so much random stuff. Let's see, I have been pretty busy with the US Presidential campaign (I love watching CNN just for the sake of it), been busy with school.. and been busy with being alone.



Ouch. I'm sorry Buffalo Bills, I wanted to see you guys got 5-0 too. But then Losman had to pop up behind the bushes and voila! Cardinals' win.



66 Yard touchdown and still looking hot as ever.

Ugh, I know, I haven't updated, I know.
I feel like I've been avoiding blogging; ever since our Fashion Journalism project on Fashion blogs. I've been carefully avoiding this space; it makes me dread next week (read : another Fashion blog post)

I feel so swamped with all these things.
This and that..
On a side note, DO YOU KNOW THAT THEY CUT DANNY AMENDOLA????!!!!
I can't believe this, seriously. That is just earth-shaking, ground-breaking, mind-blowing news. To me, that is. Where is he going to go now? :( I feel so bad for him. At least the Colts still have Silva.
I'll get on to Week 1, but before that.. I just want to say that I have lost probably all respect for Michael Phelps because, what can I say? He's a regular douche. You heard me right.


Oh yayyyy, the million dollars given to him by Speedo are being spent on strip clubs.

Now, let's get down to business.
----------------------------------

I can't say that my whole heart was into Week 1, because if it was, I would've followed the off-season with an eagle eye. Plus, there were so many surprises in Week 1 alone, even long-time football fans were shocked.
Huge surprise of course, is that Brady is out for the season. Yes, I nearly cried during the game. Him, limping off, sorta burned into my brain. WHY??? Damn that Pollard. I was seriously looking forward to an AMAZING season; especially now that Sammy Morris was back in the line-up. I was looking forward to more 40++ - 0 wins. I was looking forward to jaw-dropping touchdowns by Randy Moss. AAAAAAnd, I completely agree with Moss : it looked like dirty play to me.
Horrible, absolutely horrible.



Of course, now that Brady is out, that just means a TOTAL and COMPLETE shift in the whole NFL and AFC East. Now, teams aren't afraid of the Patriots. Instead, they'd be afraid of the Falcons, Bears, Panthers and Jets. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS??????
If I told you this last season, you would laugh till tears rolled down your cheeks.
I'm really crossing my fingers in hope that the D will be more pumped up in alieu to Brady's injury : that they can win the Superbowl without Brady. Since, of course, there will be more rushing involved instead of passing. Teams read their passing plays last season. Besides, Cassel's passing is not Brady's passing. Which means, more interceptions and definitely more incompletions. Do you think I'm not giving Cassel enough credit despite winning the game against the Chiefs?
Hmmm, well, I know I definitely expected worse from him during the game, given how he looked like a total and utter fool out there last season. I was surprised to see that he managed to make touchdown passes. Impressive. Still, it's only been Week 1, and Week 2 is already knocking on the door. I can't believe Cassel's starting for Week 2 against the Jets... FAVRE. Oh my goodness, it will be such an amazing game. We have like 75% chance of losing. My gosh, I miss Brady so much. What good will Sammy Morris be?


Ugh, I LOVE THIS GUY.


Still, Moss has my complete heart.

Well, okay, maybe not complete COMPLETE. Chris Paul wants a chunk of it.

----------------------

I miss Hananananna.
TXXXX who?
School is getting crazy, I'm going out of my mind. So yes, in case you're wondering, I'm perfectly sane. :)

WHY WHY WHY WHY is it that when I need something, I can't find it? When I need someone, that person's not around? When I need to go somewhere, but I can't find the place?
This is making me seriously frustrated.
That, and lethargic.

Okay, this is the cue for the birthday song.

....
...
..
.

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes!
Even though I expected some people to wish me.. but they didn't, it's all good.
I'm feeling great! Even the Keeper of hot guys decided to let me into a taste of her version of heaven.
Something unexpected happened to me a couple of days before and I'm really glad. :)

I was reminded of my dislike for the Yankees on a particular Sunday. A baseball cap was all it took. One look at 'it' and the rivalry popped into my head like an alarm : 'OKAY! Yankees fan! Back off!' echoed in my head.
I like being a Boston fan, or a Red Sox fan for that matter. However, I do believe that some Boston fans can get pretty cocky and spineless when it comes to sports discussions. Okay, it's not like I don't believe that my teams are the best, I am just being a sports fan instead of just a Boston fan. Got that? Okay, let me explain.
Being a sports fan means that you like the sports in general. While you may have a specific favorite team, you watch other teams play too, because you LOVE the sport, not the team. Whereas if you're a Boston fan, it just means that you watch Boston teams and Boston games only. No other games. But you think you'll have the right to criticize other teams and make just arguments. :)
Perhaps people (who are not sports fans) would think that sports rivalries are unnecessary and uncouth. As a matter of fact, I believe sports rivalries actually bond people together. Fans stand by one another and even stick up for one another during sports arguments. While one may say that they lead to fights and that they are disruptive, I think fights leading from sports rivalries are a blast! I've yet to witness REAL fights. Verbal fights, yes, but not 'I'm-punching-the-crap-outta-you-cos-you-insulted-my-team' fights. In fact, I'd like to participate in a fight too! Verbal fights please, I doubt I can withstand a single punch.

I know I haven't exactly been pro-active when it comes to blogging recently, and I feel tremendously guilty for that.

I've been down with the common cold for the past few days and my nose is constantly stuffed with a tissue. Fun huh? I had a fever scare after my afternoon nap today too. The fever has gone down, but the tissues remain.

My birthday's coming up in a couple of days, and I was suddenly reminded of my unfinished annual post. I guess turning 19 doesn't really faze me. I think I'm at that stage where birthdays are turning 'meh' to me.

All in all, to sum up my annual post, I think everyone should just give me cash!
Makes things so much easier! :D

I'm very sure this is way overdue. This post, I mean.
I was caught up in the excitement of the ASG and the NBA Championship.
That, and.. I don't know.. I'm not sure anymore.
Oh right, the excitement of THE CALL.
While some people I know might refute that I have been way in over my head about this, I beg to differ. The only thing that I'm way in over my head about is.... HELLBOY!
I'm unable to explain my sudden addiction to Mike Mignola and his creation, Hellboy. Perhaps it was because I watched the first Hellboy movie again recently. I'll have to say, I am extremely fascinated by the comic.
It's different, it's educational (in a world history sense) and Hellboy is one heck of a stud.
I'm looking forward to the sequel for the first movie.. here are some of the posters :





Can I just say that the artist for the third poster is phenomenal?!

However, is it just me or does Hellboy seem.. useless sometimes? I mean, his only saving grace is that 'Right Hand of Doom' of his.

Anyway, it's July, and everyone knows what month it is. The hottest month of the year and the month of my birthday. Not that turning 19 is a huge thing, but I do love birthdays. Why? Presents, of course.
This is the perfect opportunity to make an annual post of the things that I would love to get on my birthday!

AH HAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Believe it or not, most of them are (kinda) cheap!
Anyway, part two tomorrow..

Watching Hancock with my mom tomorrow. And after that.. RED SOX VS YANKEES!!!!!!!!

While this might be --- okay, yes, this is very overdue --- the Boston Celtics are the 2008 NBA Champions!
Yay!!!



The parade was yesterday.. man! It must've been fun.
17th Championship won by the Boston Celtics, on the 17th of June!
Aaaand, #34, Paul Pierce, wins MVP of the finals!



17 + 17 = 34
Anyone superstitious? It's funny how Jeff Van Gundy brushed it off as 'nothing' when Mike Breen asked him about it. 'It means nothing' were his exact words. I'm not sure why that stuck with me.. maybe I believed something else was in store.
While I am extremely happy the Celts won, I'm upset that basketball season is over.
It was my first NBA Playoffs actually, and I feel grateful and glad in a way. If not for Mr Giant, I wouldn't have watched it. To be completely honest, I was really indifferent to basketball before the Playoffs, before March Madness. I thought it was boring, that anyone could do it.. I just didn't get the hype of basketball. Bunch of guys watching basketball.. what's there to see? 4 12-minute quarters, easy fouls, easy shots.. no big deal.. right?
I was wrong.
I think.. if not for Mr Giant, I wouldn't have fallen in love with basketball.
March Madness blew me away (KANSAS!!!!!).
NBA Finals made me nearly hoarse.

What was so cool about the Celtics win was that the Big Three showed up, and not just the starters, the whole bench contributed to that trophy.
Eddie House, POSEY! Man.. Posey was awesome. Glen Davis, PJ Brown, Cassell, Powe, T. Allen..
We did it guys, we did it!!!!

By the third quarter, everyone knew they'd win it. What a way to end the season!

KG, Allen and Pierce have waited too long and played too hard to get it.
YEARS.
You know, I kinda hope they don't get too greedy and start making 'I'm-gonna-get-10-more-championships!' kinda goals.

Doc Rivers. What can I say about that man? His technical fouls make me laugh, and I absolutely love his pep talks, which he uses reverse psychology on them.

Whew. Yeah, I'm excited they won.. it's just.. it feels different. It's not the same as being in the same COUNTRY as the Celts and watching with a bunch of people. I watched the game in the morning, at home, on my laptop. Nothing exciting.

Anyway, in other matters, I passed my second year.. which was expected from my parents.
So I guess I'm looking forward to the start of my third year.. yay.
WAIT.
WAIT.
WAIT.
Oh my gosh.
School starts on August 4th. First pre-season game for the Patriots starts on the 7th.
OH MY GOSH! First kick-off pre-season game starts on the 3rd!!!!!!!!!! At 8pm!!!!!!!!!!
Thankfully though, the real kick-off is on Sept 4th.. grr Giants.

Oh yeahhhh, I'll be watching YOU, mister. NOT the Cowboys.


I'm looking forward towards the next Superbowl at Brewerkz. YEAH BABY! Good times. Albeit Giants.
Beer, guys. What more could you ask for?

In non-sports issues, I think I can't love a man who doesn't love sports. Okay, firstly, which red-blooded male doesn't love sports? It's so .. weird.
I want sports to run through my future kid(s)' blood!
I never had sports when I was younger, and I want my kids to enjoy AMERICAN sports, in the country itself. Not in a place where soccer is almost a religion and ESPN is not a given.
It's not like I don't know how it feels like.. I have another two seasons for NCAA, NBA, NFL and MLB.
That's 4 times 2.
8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is inhumane torture. Get me outta here!!



Isn't this so cute?
I totally loved their Sportscenter 'Three Amigos' commercial. In case you missed it, here it is :




Ray looks like he can't act.. but he was Jesus Shuttleworth!!
Eh.. I'm not sure if you'll be able to watch it. The player looks weird sometimes.
But anyway,

BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!

It's Friday the 13th!! I'm hardly -- okay, slightly, superstitious, but it was a good day. A really, really good day. Celts made a historic comeback from a 24-point deficit to win with 6 points ahead, 97-91.
This is, by far, my favorite video. Let's watch it again.



The Three Amigos strike again! Well, perhaps two, offensively.
Should I do the dance?

I had this really weird dream before I got up for my game, and then another during my nap.
Why am I remembering all this?
Hmm.. maybe God is trying to tell me something..

In other news, there aren't any other news.
Except maybe..
Well, I'm upset about this situation between you guys.. I mean, I've known you both for years, and this happens? I wish things were different, but they are what they are, and I can't change things.

I was watching this Everybody Loves Raymond episode where Ray TORE UP his SUPERBOWL ticket to show Debra how much he cared for her. As you should know, I couldn't bare to watch it to the end. My heart twisted when he tore it up.
Okay, given, I may be different from other girls.. but tearing up the ticket to a LIFETIME event? No way man, no way.
I know guys find it hard to grasp the concept that a girl might be better (knowledge-wise) at sports than him.. that probably explains why I'm still single! Darn!
Just kidding. I'd rather watch Ray Allen in action for 3 hours than go on a date.
I get excited about sports, I love sports. I just wish there was someone I could discuss it with 24/7. And I really mean 24/7.
I'll be the one knocking on your door at 3am, yelling, "DID YOU SEE THE LOOK ON VUJACIC'S FACE????"

I don't sleep anyway. I'm an owl. I'm a Vampire.
You know, I can SMELL football season. Ah. Smell that (fake) grass. Smell that sweat. Sniff it all in.
A new season's coming and the Giants won't even be in it.

Fine. Laugh. Go ahead and laugh at my Celtics.
I'll have to say; I'm incredibly disappointed in them. The Lakers obviously looked like the better team out there, offensively. They were playing 30-69 as compared to the Celts, who were playing 29-83. You'd expect Paul Pierce to play an excellent game, considering how LA was his hometown and everything, but he only managed to score 6 points, playing 2-14 ONLY and doing a 0-4 on the paint. It seemed as if only Ray Allen managed to turn up for the game.

One word : Ouch. Watching how Ellsbury sprained his right wrist made me cringe.
Also, what were Manny, Youki and Coco thinking?
I thought it was pretty cool how Coco dodged that blow from Gomes though. I laughed at that. He's an amateur boxer! I hate Crawford and Navarro's cheapshots though. That was LOW.

School is coming soon, work is starting soon.

Btw, Kung Fu Panda made me laugh.

I can't tell you the number of times I have been on this page, my fingers hovering over the keyboard, a cup of coffee by my side, wanting to type down something, jot whatever significant thing which had happened to me during the week down. But I stay like that for a number of minutes, staring at this big, blank box. Doesn't help that its a ditto for my brain too. Sometimes I get a rush of adrenaline pushing me, enabling me, rather, to type on and on. Unfortunately, that 'sometimes' probably only happens once in a blue moon. So, instead of typing anything, I just head on over to another tab and just like that -- snap -- my attention's on something else. Not that I'm not good at multi-tasking, I'm EXCELLENT at multi-tasking. I don't know anyone else who can watch a basketball game and a baseball game at the same time while IM-ing someone.

As I was on the bus today, on my way to meet my sister, I caught my facial expression in the window reflection and I remembered how people kept telling me that on first impression, they presumed I was this "fierce" person. I thought to myself; I know that I give off that 'I'm not interested, don't come on to me' vibe, but fierce? Okay, maybe it's a given, seeing badly dressed Singaporeans doesn't exactly make me grin like a cheshire cat. Also, I get easily annoyed with people I don't know. I especially hate it when people invade my private space or bump into me. You know what? I should bring a hula hoop with me next time I go out. Would I dare say that I look arrogant when I'm out? Dismissive, probably.. but I'm not so sure about arrogant.

My verdict on the Sex & The City movie? In all honesty, I thought it was OKAY. Just okay. It was fabulous or anything; it was alright. I actually expected more from Smith and Samantha.. (spoiler!) I was pretty disappointed when their relationship ended. Because whether Samantha knows it or not, her life is dependent on Smith. Well, not totally dependent, but, without him, she wouldn't be where she would be today. And when Smith said 'big deal' about the sushi thing, I was thinking 'wait a minute.. Smith doesn't say stuff like that! Where is that Smith I remember who helped Samantha through chemo?
While first-timers to SATC may find the sex scenes unnecessary, I felt that it was rather apt, actually. What would New York women be without sex? This reminds me. First-timers to SATC really, really, really, REALLY piss me off. Sure, I may not be a huge SATC fan, I don't even proclaim to be one, however, I think that if you (first-timers, listen) have no friggin' idea what the heck is going on, and can't even tell Charlotte and Samantha apart, you should just not watch the movie at all. Sure, there's the novelty of boasting ("I watched SEX and the City, dah-ling") about watching the movie, especially with such a taboo word in the movie in such a self-proclaimed righteous and conservative country.
Watching the movie in the cinema felt like I was attending a class on Rocket Science with a bunch of 3rd graders. I'm serious! Let me show you case #1..
There was this girl sitting beside my sister. She's the typical, rotund Chinese girl with clothes which, unfortunately, makes her more rotund than her normal.. err.. rotund size. She obviously lives her life through the chinese language. So, this one's funny. When the sex scenes came on the screen, she disgustedly went, "Eeeeeeee!", so loud, I could hear it from two seats away. I'm not kidding. I wish I was, but I'm not. Another thing : when Big was talking about getting married at Cityhall instead, that girl giggled and said, mockingly, "Cityhall!" She obviously thought Big was talking about the Cityhall MRT Station in friggin' SINGAPORE.
Are Singaporeans really this uneducated? I'm not saying that all women shouldn't enjoy the movie, just that.. you should at least KNOW what you're watching before you watch it. You don't see me getting a ticket for a movie called "Kill her, Kill me" just like that.

What is it about Michigan men that make them so attractive?
I wonder.. is it just me?
Or is it because they just have some sorta hypnosis ability to make me BELIEVE they're hot?
If I had a dollar for every hot, Michigan guy I see, I'd be a millionaire by now.

I so solemnly swear : this book is keeping me on my toes. Nail biting, the works.
In a way, I do feel sort of like Rachel (sans Darcy, of course). Being that average-looking girl, believing that she'll never find true love.
True love is overrated anyway.
But then again, love is subjective, so you never know. Personally, I smirk at the thought of true love and a happy ending. Prince Charming doesn't just fall out of the sky and onto your lap. I may have a rather "mean" outlook on this, but I'll take my chances on this.
Besides, there's no rush, we're just loving where we are right now. Time is on my side, it can wait......... Although.. I'm not so sure about him, but okay.

In other matters, in case you haven't heard, my LOVELY Celtics have beaten the Piss-tons and made it into the finals! I actually injured my hand while watching the game. SEE! I have passion. I was actually kinda surprised they won.. and on the road too! That's a huge achievement for them! However, I'm none too pleased with the homecourt advantage for the finals.
2-3-2
What the heck is that?! That's a DIS-advantage.
I'm really looking forward to watching KG against Kobe and possibly, Pierce against Odom and Allen against Fisher? But then there's Gasol too... Hmm. Rondo? Perkins? No, no, I'm sure Gasol will make it easy for Perkins to foul.
I'm extremely hyped about the game.. hyped to the point where I might be freaking out anytime soon.
Sure, even my Basketball for Dummies book tells me that the best way to learn about basketball is to PLAY it. I'm thinking, uhh. I've tried, and I can't. Even he laughs at my height disadvantage.. SHUTTUP YOU 6'2" GIANT!!
By the way, I bought a friggin' FOOTBALL the other day. A FOOTBALL. 'Nuff said. I sleep with it tucked to my chest every night.

You know when people say 'curiosity kills the cat', your natural instinct is to remain curious and get killed, like the cat right?
See, there is a reason why I don't watch slasher/gore/horror films. They give me nightmares and make me scream. But, alas, after today, curiosity is one place I will never EVER venture into EVER again. Early this afternoon, while I was waiting for Ice Age 2 to load, I saw the link for Hostel and I'm thinking 'Why is everyone so worked up about this?' I gave in to CURIOSITY (slap me please) and clicked on it. The movie started with three college students who were on a journey to satisfy their surging male hormones. I remember rolling my eyes, thinking 'Okay, boys will be boys'. So they --- okay I don't really want to go on, anyway, it's not like I remember some parts of the movie, considering how I fast forwarded most parts. Ugh, the blood, the gore and oh my gosh.. the screams. AHHHHHHH! While watching this Japanese girl being tortured, half of my brain was going 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? SWITCH IT OFF!!!' and the other half going 'WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO HER?? AHHH!!'. So yes, actually, I was pretty glad I watched it in the afternoon. Watching those kinda films at night make me so paranoid in the dark. I can't believe I watched it.. I feel so stupid. Shows like Ghost Whisperer and Supernatural may be a tad scary. Sure, I jump a little, hold the pillow in front of my face, the works, but the humor between Sam and Dean (Supernatural) and the undying (no pun) love between Melinda and her husband (Ghost Whisperer) lighten the mood. Not to mention, Sam is way cute so that sorta makes up for it.
I will never give in to curiosity ever again.
You know.. I feel like those typical characters in those sorta films where they get killed first. You know them; they hear some weird noise, see a shadow and get curious. 'Hello? Is anyone there?' And before you know it, the camera focuses on the character's face, which, by the way, is contorted with horror and shock. One second later, on cue, a ear-piercing scream fills your head.

Yeah.. if I'm stuck in a haunted house with a bunch of people, I am SO sticking to the group.
Okay wait.. in the first place, why would I go to such a place like that?
I prefer places with nice lights, sunlight, clouds, rainbows, sparrows and a 24/7 sports channel.

Talking about sports -- yes, the Celts lost, will you knock it off?!
I hated the way the Celts were playing. So many mistakes.. their fouls made me want to line them up and punch every single one of them. They were giving away so many points. WHY? When you already know that the Pistons have extremely great shooting behind the line. DUDE, like 99%. Bad defense? Hmm, there were a couple of great blocks though, I'll have to say. But the reach-in and personals were just too much. Actually, if the Celts played better defense, they could've won and they know that. GRRRR. I hate the Pistons' double-teaming.
On the bright side, Ray Allen smiled today. :) I would too, if I were him. Tonight was a huge night for him. Getting over his slump wasn't easy but he did it. I hate how the Boston crowd was being sarcastic about him. When he made that 3-point shot, the crowd started cheering and I'm thinking, UMM? At the last game, the crowd was practically boo-ing at him.
Yeah, they're bandwagoners. I hate those fans.
Anyway, I'm glad Allen is back, I couldn't be happier. I could've shed tears of joy if I had autopilot tear ducts. I've been waiting a long time for this, baby.



I expected Pierce to do better though. As for the next game, I hope they buck up. Now that the Pistons have gotten a taste of how they play the game, the Celts really need to bring their A-game to Detroit on Saturday.



CUTE!! My favorite Hollywood couple.. besides Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson.. HAHAHAHHAH!!

As for the Lakers game yesterday, bravo man, THIS is the reason why Kobe is the MVP : Winning after coming back from a 20-point deficit. 'Nuff said. The guy rocks jump shots and 3-pointers. And did I mention, AMAZING defense?

Watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night. It was pretty decent. Definitely 3 and a half stars. I think they could've done a better ending though.. maybe it was a hint towards the finality of the series?

Okay, I can hear your laugh all the way from MI. You can shut up now.

Besides being caught up in the NBA Western/Eastern Conference Finals, nothing much is really going on.
I can't believe I -- 'we' predicted this. Even though I hated how the Celtics struggled against an arrogant team (Hawks) and a one-man team (Cavs). Thought we'd have the Hawks in 4 and Cavs in 6.
I'm really puzzled by two teams for this season's playoffs : The Hornets and the Celts.
I honestly had this flicker of hope that Chris Paul and the Hornets would take down the Spurs. However, during the game, there were SO many missed opportunities. I remember yelling in frustration and throwing my hands up in the air. The focus wasn't there.. the Spurs played great defense though, I'll give you that. Just.. the number of rebounds the Hornets were able to get, anyone would think they'd win that game.
And Mr Ray Allen, what the heck is wrong with you? His shooting has been WAY WAY WAY off. You'd expect one of the best shooters (during the regular season) to remain consistent during the playoffs, and at such a pivotal point in his career too! He looks so distracted. Is it cos he misses Cassell? C'MON ALLEN!!! PICK IT UP!! You're up against the Pistons darn it. I can't afford to let a particular Pistons fan rub it in my face.
Thank goodness for Brown, Perkins, Rondo and House though. Rondo looks like Bow Wow's long lost twin brother. Eddie House is such a badass, I give a manly 'YEAH!' everytime he scores.
I won't say the Celts played their best game in the Playoffs last night (their best game was game 7 against the Hawks), so I'm really hoping they'll up their game on Thursday.
Guys just need to work on their shots.


Picture of the day.

------
Do I impose my standards onto people? I'm starting to feel a little mean about it. Granted, I'm lucky to have this hot (and funny) guy by my side (not physically, emotionally), I realize that I do put people down with my judgements. I've never really realized how that affected the people around me.. so with that, I would like to humbly apologize to these people and hope they forgive me.

I'm grateful though. I'm grateful for 200000000000 hours of sleep, books, electricity, friends, family, Chris Paul, Pierce, KG, the INTERNET (what would I do without it?) and for this particular guy who leaves me laughing my ass off all the time.

Today is the 12th of May. Ah. How quickly time passes. You blink and suddenly you find yourself celebrating Christmas for 2010.
Celtics and Cavs are now 2 and 2. Look, I really think the Celts need to make an effort during games on the road. They're never good at away games but they're fan-freaking-tastic at home games. That's the weak point of the Celts. Other than that, I just think they need to be more consistent. I'm getting very frustrated with my feelings going up and down like the stock market.

I'm in that warm, fuzzy feelings mood right now. Blame those chick-lits I've been spending hours on. Honestly, what would I do without books? I wish I had an entire room full of books. OH MY GOSH.. what bliss. A nice, comfy armchair in the middle of the room.. a footstool!! Not to mention, a side table with a plate of cookies on it.

Okay, yes, excuse me, my mind was wandering for a bit.
Back to that warm, fuzzy feelings mood..
I started getting reminiscent of particular moments, moments which made me snort in laughter, moments which made me smile and especially, 'awww'-moments. I'm feeling crazily nostalgic and it's actually creeping me out.
Right. Okay. Moving on..

I do want to help him out. Of course I don't have any ulterior motive for doing so. I just understand what he's going through. I know what's it's like over at the dark side. Especially when you're alone.

Has the deprivation of proper morals led to the immoral state of this generation?
Kids getting pregnant at 14, the media telling us 'Hey! It's alright!' and drug pushers. Also, will the deprivation affect the economy of the future?

Y'know, even though I hate to admit it.. I think, and believe, I'm addicted to him.

Now I sound like a junkie.

In other matters, I am very very glad that the Celtics are sailing through to round two of the NBA Playoffs. I can't believe they were having difficulties against the Hawks. Of all teams, the friggin' HAWKS? Who cares about Pachulia and Bibby?
I hated how the Hawks would lord it over the Celts after every win. Even to the extent of TAUNTING Allen and Pierce. Jeez. Of all the people.
'Give 'em hell' was probably the motto for the Celts last night. The Big Three scored a huge lead in the first half (30 point deficit). Even when the Hawks looked like they were inching towards the gap in the second, Powe, Rondo and Perkins made it clear which team was walking away with the win. They looked like they were having a field day though, and the Hawks didn't even put up much of a fight. They knew, as the gap grew further apart, any chances of going into Round 2 were being torn into itsy bitsy pieces. C'mon, even if they made it through to Round 2, did they really think they were going to get past Lebron James?
Great defense on the Celts' part, rebound were a dime a dozen and the Hawks were playing Lousy, with a capital 'l'. I don't like how they were acting real cocky every time they won a game. It was dumb and like every other team that talks smack, you're never going to make it past the other team.

I'm extremely proud of the Red Sox. A Tampa Bay sweep. Beautiful, guys, beautiful.

Uh, I'm addicted to shopping.
I can't stop myself from spending hours and hours on eBay. Seriously, that's one good reason for not being in the states. I'd be spending my entire week on that site if I was.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. We live in a visual based society, which means that everything is being judged based on outward appearances, whether you like it or not. However, how detrimental exactly is the need to seek approval from others? People want to be known as individuals, trend-setters. However, in recent years, has this search for individuality been forsaken? What does being an individual mean to us? If seeking approval from others is a way of finding out what our true individuality means, then that is not real. At all.

It is so sad to see people "morphing" into other people in order to gain approval. Why? Is gaining approval the utmost important thing in our lives? It seems that people these days are doing whatever it takes to garner attention. Sure, personality sets people apart. But, if you are "morphing" into other people, doesn't that mean that you don't have a personality at all? I believe that if you are being what you want people to see you as, that's not called individuality. Remember the emo phase? People would starve themselves, slap on a pot of eyeliner everyday, splurge on dozens of skinny jeans and grow bangs which would obstruct their vision just to look "cool" and "stand out"? People were slitting their wrists, leaving "battle scars" to show that they battled with "depression". Depression is an illness not to be taken lightly. You got yelled at by your dad (for returning home at 4am) and suddenly your life sucks and you have depression?

Who are you trying to kid?

I believe that in order to be an individual, you have to love yourself first. Who are you? Find out your points. You are a goddess. You are Aphrodite. Focus on your positive points and do not give in to peer pressure or the media.
Finding an individual is rare nowadays. People claim to be individuals yet follow the crowd. Denial is one thing, stupidity is another.

You know, reading back on my old blogs, I laugh in amusement, yet at the same time, I'm appalled. How did 'THAT' happen? I laugh at my angst-y posts and depressed days. Even though a sense of nostalgia washed over me, I felt a sense of relief gate-crashing my brain. Hello? Knock, knock. Although, looking back, I'm sure glad I do not write that way or think that way anymore. But I know that in a few years' time, I will tumble upon this blog once again and laugh in the exact same way I did last night : short, unexpectedly loud and horror-filled.

I'm just about wanting to strangle my beloved Big Three. DUDES? We are this close to winning the championship. We already KNOW that the Pistons are going down, so what's stopping us? The friggin' HAWKS??? Joe Johnson isn't supposed to be a threat to us, Lebron is!!! Jeez. I love you guys but you gotta stop being complacent here, alright? Make your girl proud and get through the first round!!

How many sacks will Tom Brady get next season? Hmmmmm.

So anyway, I'm gonna do what I do almost every year :

















OKAY. ONE MORE A&F AD AND I'LL NOSEBLEED MYSELF TO DEATH.

I am officially stuck on the NFL Draft.
I love how the song 'Believe' by The Bravery is the theme song for the draft this year. I think it's really suitable. The draft is where the professional careers start for these college football players.
I wonder how the Dolphins will be like next season.. Hmmm.. How big of an impact will Jake Long be for them?
I'm laughing my ass off at the Lions and their fans. Well, at least the Lions are drafting players on the defensive end.
However, I believe that the team to watch for next season are the Chiefs. Man.. check out all those players they're getting. That's good though, getting players you NEED, not players you want. Sure, it's not easy to ignore the Joe Flacco dangling in front of your nose, but you need to look past him and at players like Jonathan Wilhite (Welcome to the Pats team!).
Interestingly enough, offensive players aren't that sought after. Fourth round is ending and Josh Johnson's still not picked by anyone????????? WOAH.
Hmmmm... I think the Patriots could've done a better selection than Kevin O'Connell. Sure, he has the same sort of personality as Tom Brady, but I'm not too sure about his passes, they looked pretty funky to me. I mean, he could work on it, duh, under Mr Belichick. But he has an uncanny resemblance to Tom Brady in terms of QB techniques : the way he likes to stay in the pocket and doesn't run well. I'll have to give him credit for his arm though, just needs to work on his passes. They're finally getting rid of Matt Cassel???? Thank goodness. Can anyone say '28/10/07'?
Three hours have passed so far and it's just Round 5. Yawn.

So how will the Cavs do in game 4 against the Wizards? C'mon LBJ.

So I just thought I'd add these all in since the Playoffs are here.
Enjoy!

Well, as much as I thought he could've done better on the defense side for the Lions, still, the Dolphins (obviously) require a lot of help on both sides. It's a good thing they got rid of Cam Cameron, his presence just make me LOL.
Number one pick! Man, that must feel awesome. Although I bet he wasn't exactly expecting to get into the Dolphins. Still, like he said, better than nothing. Now, who will the Rams choose..? Drew Brees is good enough.. get rid of Reggie Bush! Haha, sorry, I just hate Kimmy K.

Sox did great last night with rookies Pedroia and Ellsbury, even without their star players. I am so proud of you guys.. sob sob.

Celtics-Hawks game on later.. should I watch?

I have a question for the youth of Singapore : What do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror? I laugh at how they ALL pick up a particular trend thinking that that sets them apart from the rest of the crowd. Uh, hello? You ARE the crowd. How can you call yourself individualistic if you're wearing what everyone else is wearing? Okay, and please, the emo trend has never been 'in'. So strip off your all-too-tight skinny's, wipe that gunk off your face, cut your hair and eat a hamburger.
Oh wait.. make that 3 hamburgers.

How will the new semester be like? I'm really looking forward to it. New class.. new classmates. Ahh. Time to breathe.
