this is it.

I watched Michael Jackson's movie This Is It yesterday with my mom. The theatre wasn't packed or anything so if you're going to watch it you probably don't have to worry about not getting any seats. We got pretty good seats =]

I actually know one of his backup dancers, Daniel Celebre, which is another reason why I went to go see the movie. He used to dance at one of the studios I've danced at in the past. He's actually really lucky to have made it because in the movie they showed bits of the audition for Michael Jackson's dancers and there were soooo many of them who auditioned! And they all were amazing! In the end, only 11 guys and 2 girls made it? I think. Ahah.

I really enjoyed the movie and I do recommend anyone to go and watch it! It would have been an amazing concert and so much work was put into it! You also see a lot of Michael's personality through the extra rehearsal bits that they show. He is really a funny person and it's just a shame he got such a bad reputation when he was alive.

wear your superhero costume

So, Michelle created a billion different Halloween looks that sorta pwned a lot of the Halloween tutorials other gurus made before.. in my opinion at least. All her looks (even normal ones) are so unique and are one of a kind. This Halloween tutorial had to be my favourite! She also includes a special message at the end so watch the whole thing! She's truly amazing.

The video makes me wanna be Sailor Moon again for Halloween XD. I was her when I was like 6? Sailor Moon was technically my first anime and was also my first hero... along with Xena!

I definitely knew all her poses >=]

...Or maybe I just wanna be Sailor Moon as an excuse to try doing the anime eyes Michelle Phan does because it'll only be appropriate for Halloween and anime conventions.

Yeah, I wanna dress up for Halloween, but I have no idea what I should be XD

so unnecessary but awesome =]

I got another huge ass phone charm XD Me and Bryan were at a bubble tea place downtown and they were selling them for like $2 in those gumball machine things that you see at pmall. They also have them at Maki Maki.So, he got me one and it just happened to be the one I wanted out of the three in the machine. There's a white bunny, a pink bunny, and a monkey. I was hoping I wouldn't get the monkey because I didn't like it as much. Ahah.

I really like big phone charms.

Yeah, it's bigger than my phone.

Birthday... last month. lulz.

I got the idea from Rheena for writing my blog posts on Word when I don’t have internet. I’m on the bus right now by the way. I don’t have to wait to get internet at home to write my blog posts!

Caaaaaaake!

So over a month later, I finally get to this post. Procrastination on social life yayyyy... Anyways from what I can remember (lawl), my birthday was pretty awesome! I had a separate party with my family and a separate one with a few high school friends. I didn’t wanna do anything too big this year for my birthday this year although I did turn 19 and am legal now yayyy. I didn’t want to do anything crazy like clubbing or just getting drunk for the heck of it? I’m not really a fan of clubbing after my first experience over the summer. Ahah. With drinking, I don’t even like the taste of alcoholic drinks so why bother. But then again maybe I haven’t tried an alcoholic drink that I really like? It's not like I’m not gonna go searching for it though. lulz.

Anyways... with my family I just did whatever we usually do, have “eating time,” “cake time” and “present time” at my house. Don’t know what else to say about it. Ahah.

I have a lot of cousins. More on the other side of the table.


We also celebrated my aunt's birthday. We didn't have another cake for her so we made one out of her cupcakes and candles that spell Happy Birthday =]

With my friends, I decided to eat out with them for lunch at my favourite type of restaurant... ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHIIII! MUAHAHAHA! XD Surprisingly, almost everyone I invited came except for people who had work or didn’t reply? It was like a reunion because I hadn’t seen most of them for a while. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the money to treat all 7 of them who made it to the lunch so I didn’t care if they didn’t get me anything since they already paid money to celebrate with me. Oh yeah, and I came a bit early to get the big table and felt like an idiot waiting for like half an hour on my own, because people decided to come in like 20mins late, which I should have saw coming. I’m never coming on time to a hang out ever again! XD jks. The sushi was veryyy good and the service wasn’t bad because there weren’t that many people at Umi at the time. The service is soooo horrible when they are busy!

People who didn't come AS late. yayyyyy...

Bryan posing with Kris's glasses


Had to cut Lizzeh out because she wasn't looking and her eyes were like half way open LOL


It's all good. I got another pic with her =] ... and yes, I wore the same thing I did for Christmas. My $4 top. Muahaha.

Afterwards I invited everyone over to my house for ice cream cake yummm. I was planning to just get everyone to bus there, but instead we all walked! It wasn’t that bad actually. I forgot how long it took, but it didn’t feel that long because I had friends with me.

I secretly got a pic of everyone walking behind me... except Katherine was looking XD. I like how her and Kris are popping out behind Johnruss... They're also the same height as him LOL


Muahaha

Bryan and Andrew. lawl.

Abby and Kevin met us at my house. They couldn’t make it to sushi because Abby had work. So for the rest of the night we played Rock Band, played Brawl (duh), had a laptop party, ate ice cream cake, and a bunch of other things =]

Laptop partyyyy


Rock Band

Only one where our faces looked somewhat normal.


LOL Andrew

Not too much partying. School the next morning for most of us. Ahhh...
I just realized everyone was wearing black except for me and Katherine, who dressed up nicely for me yayyyy ^^

Best people everrrr!

There's this thing with ladybugs...

I was going up the elevator in the library today. There was this bug that looked like a black fly or a bee that wouldn't keep still and got everyone's attention. It finally stopped and just rested at the top of the ceiling. "Awww... It's a ladybug," this girl said.

I just saw my uncle message my brother saying how he saw a ladybug walk across his car windshield on Oct 5.

How often do you see lady bugs in the Fall? or in any season?

On the friday after the funeral...i went to the pound to see the car and gather any other belongings that was left there. As soon as i saw the car i started breathing heavily, and placed myself in a dark corner...reliving the nightmare, from sec.to sec...and hour to hour. Finally my mother had picked me up and we were on our way home. To cheer myself i played "waiting in vain"- bob marley...and it actually worked a little. Shortly after, a Lady Bug flew onto my window and i felt you. And it was strong. Weird... lady bug? right?..don't ask why, i just did. I was a little relieved too.

A couple of days later...i was at home, looking at your beautiful pictures..feeling as sad as always. I dropped one on the floor...boom! A Lady bug at the edge of the carpet. "Huh"...kinda confused at the time, but again i was somehow relieved. At this moment i was scratching my head..whispering "Dorothy?."

Days later, I went to visit your gravesite at the cemetary. You looked beautiful as always. I bent down on my knees/closed my eyes to pray and talk to you. Mentioned how much i love you, miss you, feel you...and... to take care of us. I open my eyes, there you were again....a Lady bug, in between the "V" and the "O" of your last name. "Ok..Ok..i get it, babe, you're here," i said with a ear to ear smile.

Coincidence...i guess??
Beautiful...always.
Symbolic...yeah.
Dorothy...what do you think?

- Darrell

She is still watching over us.
