kool-aid

Clubbing with three clubbing virgins yayyyyy =]
Somewhat picture heavy because I don't want to write a lot.

Someone decided to go to Sugar Daddy's, which is a club in Mississauga. Yeah, I definitely cannot take that name seriously. It was originally planned to go to Body English, which was only a few mins away, but apparently there was a shooting there a few weeks before. Sooo... yeah.

The Krispy Kreme fatties =]

Denika and Chantal were the only ones brave enough to start dancing to Soca when there was barely anyone there yet.

This guy that looked like, dressed like, and danced like Napoleon Dynamite. Lololol.

not that short skirt! D:


Almost everyone.

Overall, I had a good time. It wasn't as much fun as my last time clubbing, mostly because they played rap songs that can't really dance to. It's more fun for me when they play Top 40 or House! =] But that night was only dedicated to Hip Hop, R&B, and a bit of Soca. Oh, and they played Aleesia's song Bubblegum, which was that only song I actually knew that night and it was pretty random because I don't think it fits into any of those song categories. Also, I didn't really enjoy the atmosphere too much there for some reason. I think its's because the majority of the people there seemed to be a lot older. Oh wells. That's what you getting for going to a club in Sauga that no one knows about on a Thursday night. Lulz.

not that kool-aid!

not that dancing on Dundas Sqaure! D:

Probably the best part of my week.

Organized random events on the streets that make people go "wtf mate" yayyyyy =]

Btw, I stole this vid from facebook after my friend Crystal saw that someone posted it on Aleesia's fan page and told me that I'm in there very clearly. Oh myyy. I hope I get to see the official video with the whole dance some time soon.

Funny story from a classmate...
Touwanna: Hey, do you know what's going on?
Random guy on the street: I have no idea.
Touwanna: Yeah, it's so weird.
Random guy: I think you're a part of this.
Touwanna: I think so too! *starts dancing*

I'm your fool

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I love the covers of this song by Lee Ryan and Vitamin String Quartet.

I'm your biggest fan

Surprisingly, this is the one and only Lady Gaga song that I have on my ipod. Why? Because I usually end up hearing all her songs on the radio anyway and I don't normally download very popular songs you hear on the radio every day unless they're THAT good. Buuuut after hearing this song again at Christian's Birthday, I had to download it for myself.

I actually really love the chorus XD

I'm your biggest fan
I'll follow you until you love me
Papa, paparazzi
Baby there's no other superstar
You know that I'll be
Your papa, paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby you'll be famous
Chase you down until you love me
Papa, paparazzi

for reasons I don't know.

Oh, sad young man, I think I need you
For reasons I don't know.
I pledge myself to winter season
So it's perfectly on course,
But in the end it has to snow.

If I can make you stay
Convince you you'd be lost
if we were torn apart,
If it remained unclear
Between the two of us
Which one would be the one
To break the other's heart.

Hold on, this will floor me.
Differently than any drug that's washed me into sleep.
It's true, the only fault I'll take from you
Is how to run from what you wish to keep.

The Only Fault - Rachael Yamagata

You're Beautiful.

I've heard about this drama a couple of times so I decided to finally start watching it.
No, I'm not done Autumn's Concerto yet because the episodes are currently airing. (Episode 16 comes out tomorrow yayyyy :D) And because I'm so hooked on that drama, I need another drama to distract me so I don't get so impatient waiting for the next episode as ridiculous as it sounds. Ahah.

Tae Kyung and On Yu are in search of a new member for their idol group, A.N.JELL. However, Mi Nam suffers an injury at the last moment. So Mi Nyu, his twin sister, is asked to step in for her brother. The rest of the drama follows the behind-the-scenes life of an idol group.

It's like another Hana Kimi in a way!
I've watched the first episode so far and I really like it =]
First thoughts?

• All the male leads are cute >.>
  
• Go Mi Nam pulled out a fujifilm instax camera out of her suitcase! D: jealoussssss!!!
  

Yeah... those were pretty random and had nothing to do with the story XD lulz.

Dear very comfy chairs in the lounge area at school,

You are my lifesaver when I desperately need a nap during a long ass break. You are the perfect shape and conveniently placed in front of a long bench for some reason where I can put my feet up too yayyyyy. And I don't feel awkward because I'm not the only one who does it =]

The library doesn't cut it at all. Not because it's less comfortable, but because we're actually not allowed to sleep there in case of fire alarms. As if I'd be able to sleep through one...

Clubbing... with the familyyyy

Warning: This post is picture heavy

So I went clubbing for the second time with my cousins(again lol). It was my first time going to a club in Toronto though! I wasn't too sure what to expect. Like, I went clubbing in LA, and I didn't think it was that great. I was more excited this time around because I guess I knew a lot more people going. It was for Christian's 19th party and I swear he knows everyone! ... which is why I was often known as "Christian's cousin" for a while in high school x_X.

I wasn't planning on going initially because I wasn't even sure if my parents would be okay with it even though I'm legal and also because my first time clubbing wasn't AMAZING or anything. At my New Years party, Christian and Lylline asked me if I was going, but I said I wasn't sure and that I was actually scared to ask my mom, so they just asked her for me! LOL She couldn't possibly say no because first of all, some of my other older cousins would be there and second, she can't say no in front of the whole family and seem too strict! XD

I already had an outfit appropriate for clubbing so I didn't freak out because I didn't have anything to wear. I actually have A LOT of things that would be appropriate. How? Dance costumes. Tutus? No. Corsets =] I have some fancy ones that I pretty much haven't worn since I performed in them. But yeah, from what I remember I should have at least 6 corsets that were costumes from the past 3 years.
But no, I didn't wear a corset though. I ended up wearing this dress that I bought maybe after exams were over. I got it at the store called Katie, which actually has a lot of branches throughout Toronto. The one I went to was on Queen and I know there is another one in Chinatown and at least three more down Yonge street. Everything in the store was 35% off so I just decided to go in and check it out. The dress was on one of the mannequins in the store and what really caught my eye was the back the dress. It had an open back. I love love outfits with open backs, especially low ones. I don't know why! Ahah. I thought it was unique, well worth its price, and would be good for clubbing so I got it even though I didn't know the next time I'd go clubbing. I also wore this military style jacket that I got from Forever 21 to go over it because I knew I'd be cold getting there and I wasn't planning on taking my winter jacket with me. I love military style jackets!

Model face time.

You can barely tell the jacket apart from the dress XD

Camwhoring in the washroom with laptop webcam
in front of my colourful shower curtains yayyyy!!!

So the next night, everyone who was taking the limo with Christian met at his house, which were all the cousins who were going and some of his friends. His other friends that were going just met up with us at the club. I'm pretty sure Christian already got drunk in the limo LOL. He drank lot. I drank a bit in the limo, mainly because Lylline made me! I honestly didn't like the taste of anything she gave me though D:

We all left our winter jackets at his place or in the limo. So I pretty much was outside in my outfit and heels, when it was colder than - 20 degrees and windy too!! x_X. All the girls pretty much died outside when we had to walk to the entrance of the club and wait for a bit, all because we did not want to pay for coat check =] yayyyy. I was so happy that I brought my military jacket even though it was thin. But my legs were frozen for sure. We didn't wait too long outside because the club was just opening and we were going through the VIP entrance.

The club we went to was Guvernment. I didn't know how many rooms they had there but from reading a couple of descriptions of the rooms I pretty sure we were in The Drink.

An elegant second-level bar, lined by mirrors. Originally known as the Guvernment's VIP club, it's still a place for well-dressed, mature clientele. Patrons of this room also have access to the main room and the rooftop patio. Friday nights hold Commercial R&B and House and on Saturdays, House and Progressive.

Because it just opened, we could see the entire room, which was very fancy. I noticed that there was a wall of doors at the end of the room and I saw some people going in and out of it. I decided to check it out along with Sarah. When we went through the doors, we were on a second level balcony, and down below was the main room which was MASSIVE. I thought there was no way that the whole room could be completely filled. I wasn't really aware of the other rooms so I didn't explore more.

Bad quality picture. I know. This was not even half the floor space.

We got a sorta group photo taken by the club photographer who put all the photos up on the website. 'Sorta' because none of my cousins except Christian was in the shot. Still a nice picture though.

Lylline made me drink again! D: Actually she made everyone have a bit because the bottles were expensive so she wanted to make sure that we drank all of it. I don't remember what drink we had but I remember it tasting like crap XD To be honest, I only kept drinking the juice or soda they give you when you get a booth because it tasted good... at least I think it was juice.

The room got PACKED after a while. There was still enough room to dance of course so it didn't really bother me. It's more exciting when there's a lot of people anyway. I decided to go look back at the main room and the entire room was even more packed! I swear they were all like shoulder to shoulder. I didn't wanna be in the middle of that crowd at all. It seemed WAY too claustrophobic for me XD

There were of course creepers and random guys asking you to dance with them. Not as many as LA though! Ahah. There was this one really creepy old man who was trying to dance behind this girl who was already making out with her boyfriend. I don't even know if she or her boyfriend noticed him or not! This asian guy actually bought a drink for Sarah, but when she tried to leave him, he kept following her around! Ahhhhh.

Christian was probably the funniest in all the pictures I got throughout the night. He was soo drunk!

This one is my fav! LOL

Surprisingly, I had sooo much more fun than I did in LA! What's up with that? The main reason is because they played better music! They played all these popular pop and house songs from now and from years ago that were great songs to dance to. I ended up downloading most of the songs later on. Couple examples are Took the Night by Chelly and Paparazzi by Lady Gaga... that's actually all I can remember right now. lawl. Maybe for the last hour we were there, they just kept playing black music, which weren't as fun to dance to, to be honest. It was very ironic that at that time it got more crowded and all these black people came out of nowhere. I wasn't the only one who noticed though! Then I looked at the DJ and it was black guy. I remember the DJ before was white. I probably sound so racist right now D:
Bad Chantee! Bad!

It was okay though because we had to leave soon after and we were all just sitting down at the booth. We were all sorta dead by then.

After clubbing, the limo took us all back to Christian's. We were starving though, so just the family members except Christian went to Denny's! Yummm.

I had the ultimate omelette, which was very good. But IHOP will always be the best! XD


Until next time.

peace, love and lol.

Not those lightsabers!

Yes, well after the excitement of having almost all the cousins getting lightsabers for Christmas from our family, someone had the brilliant idea to have a lightsaber battle for New Years instead of popping bubble wrap and balloons (which we still did anyway).

We didn't actually do the lightsaber battle after the count down. We had to do it before because two of my younger cousins, Daniel and Arielle, wanted to be in it but every year right before the count down they go home and do their own thing. But it was A LOT of fun though! I took so many shaky videos x_X. Each one probably wasn't worth posting on facebook or anywhere so I put together a lil video of my own with the best clips I had for New Years.

I enjoy putting together videos =] I wanna do it more often.

Christian. lulz.

Funny thing that happened during the battle. Nicki screamed EVERYONE GET SHINGO! So then everyone attacked him. Then after that she told everyone to get Jeff and then everyone did, except for Chris who was protecting him. Then it became FIGHT THE WHITE PEOPLE! So, Julia and Noah who are half white and half asian got attacked as well.

Not these white people! D:

Oh yeah, I missed the countdown. Apparently they didn't count down on whatever channel the New Years performance was on. I wasn't looking at the television. So the few of us who weren't paying that much attention to the TV, were a bit confused and weren't sure if it was the actual countdown because some people were making fake countdowns a couple of minutes before. Ahah.

Not those glow in the dark glasses!

The majority of us were legal so we all had a shot of hpnotiq as you can see from the video. It's probably the only drink that I've tried that I don't think tastes horrible like most alcoholic drinks I've tasted before, which isn't a lot. I still have yet try something alcoholic that actually tastes good.

We played more games afterwards until 4am because that's when everyone got too tired pretty much. Because Pictionary was so much fun on Christmas, we played it again. I think there was more people this time around so pictures got really messed up by the end! Ahah.

getting ready for an intense game of pictionaryyy

We also decided to draw each other for fun for a bit.

Ion, because that's what Darrel drew on him during the Kris Kringle game XD

Earlier in December, my sister asked everyone to fill out surveys and she made a bunch of multiple choice questions based on them. We played this game last year, but instead of lining up behind the chairs with ABCD, you would just write it on the small white boards we used for Pictionary. Yes, we were lazy at the time. I think it's more fun when you line up though because you can just follow others when you don't know the answer XD

Overall, it was probably the best New Years party everrrr! XD Who else has lightsaber battles to celebrate? I love my family.

Christmas... with the familyyyy

Like always, for Christmas Eve, me and my family went to church, had dinner at home (with my mom's awesome hot chocolate! :D ), and opened gifts at midnight.

Where did our tree go?

Christmas with the cousins was at our house again because it was the most convenient with the structure of our basement and large amount of family that would be there. My sister brought the idea of having a dress up theme for Christmas. There were ideas like ugly Christmas sweaters and black & white. I wasn't there when everyone voted, but in the end the theme was TV shows... which I personally didn't like too much because it's almost like Halloween. But oh wells. It was still cute when we were taking family photos beside the Christmas tree.

Yes, Charlie Brown =] Tweety was Woodstock

I was Sally. I knew that she wore pink and sometimes blue, but my sister was Lucy so I had to wear pink. I have very little pink clothing and obviously did not have anything that resembled Sally's dress. So I went to a Value Village and found a dress top that was $4 =] It was too short to be worn alone so I wore this pale pink sorta poofy dress from Forever 21 underneath that I remember was $4 on sale last year. Forever 21 doesn't have as good sales anymore for some reason.

I'm wearing my Angel Brown circle lenses =]
I sorta look like those hime gyaru girls with the bow and pearls lol

Another fun thing we decided to do was a sorta Kris Kringle between the cousins. For 4 weeks before Christmas, we had to get a small gift not more than $5 for our person that went with the week's theme.

Week 1: Tiny and Sharp
Week 2: Ugly and Underwater
Week 3: Hard and starts with an S
Week 4: Slimy and Soft

Nicki made a chart after it was over showing all the gifts everyone got.

Our last gift to our person was to be given on Christmas and had to be around $20. So a REAL gift. ahah. But before we could receive them, we had to guess who was our Secret Santa in a game form with punishments! D: We all had small white board and wrote down our guess all together. Then my uncle who organized the whole thing would say if it was correct or incorrect. If it was wrong, then the person they guessed got to draw anything on their face with face paint. Then that process would just repeat until everyone guesses right.

Unfortunately, I don't have pictures from my camera of the event =( It was a lot of fun though. I was drawn on a couple of times because I had no idea who had me. But at the same time, almost everyone guessed that I had them so I drew everyone as a Pikachu or Harry Potter XD The funny thing was that the person I had was the only one that hadn't guessed me and he was the last one to guess right. He thought that he guessed me because everyone did already. Ahah.

After that, we used the white boards to play Pictionary, which my sister organized. We did it in a way that is similar to Broken Telephone. There were two teams lined up and my sister would show the people at the end of the lines the word and picture. They would have 15-20 seconds to draw it and then show it to the person before them. Then it would pretty much go down the line and the first person in line would write their guess down. It was actually harder than it sounded like because of the way people interpreted things. Also, having a 10 year old cousin adding a pot of gold and a leprechaun to a simple picture of a rainbow that was consistently passed down until it got to him wasn't so great.

This is probably getting more boring from the lack of pictures LOL But it was like 5am when we finished playing pictionary XD Everyone slept over and for boxing day everyone just stayed at my house again, playing Super Mario Bros, Rock Band, and Brawl on the Wii. I've never gone boxing day shopping before. It seems stressful D:

... k what now? ;___;

Um yeah so I already finished episode 11 of Autumn's Concerto this morning XD Now I reallyyyy can't wait til episode 12 comes out! I think the episodes come out on youtube weekly and for sure the series will end 2010. I still don't know how many episodes there are in total. I'm guessing like 20 because that usually the amount for most dramas, especially dramatic ones like this.

My comments on it so far?

• I think all the main characters are good looking. Ahah. I think Yi Qian (the rival) is so pretty, but I know I will probably hate her later in the drama even though she starts as a nice person.
• I think the plot is amazing and the way everything ties together works very well. Everything is pretty connected and there's nothing that seems insignificant to the story.
  
• Xiao Le is the best!!! XD I swear that kid is soooo cute and he's like the best child actor I've ever seen. He has so many lines too for a kid. I swear he's like 4 years old even though he's supposed to be 5 or 6 years old in the drama.
  
  
  

This will definitely go on my list of top favourite asian dramas! I can't wait to finish it. In the meantime I need another asian drama to watch and distract me from my impatience for episode 12! I'm not really in the mood to watch comedies because I watched one before Autumn's Concerto, but of course all the episodes were not available online so I had to stop >_>. Any recommendations? =]

Autumn's Concerto

I just started watching this drama today and I really like it so far. I just randomly looked at it on Mysoju and thought the synopsis was interesting.

Ren Guang Xi, a cocky law student, seems to lead the perfect life. He's the sole successor to a huge and famous business and a talented ice hockey player. But in reality, his lonely life lacks joy, laughter and motivation. That is until he meets Liang Mu Cheng, the new bento seller at his school canteen. Although orphaned at a young age, Mu Cheng does not let her past affect her and lives life with great passion and determination. A harmless bet brings the two together and Guang Xi slowly changes as Mu Cheng teaches him how to give and love. Tragedy strikes when Guang Xi suddenly has to go through a major brain surgery which causes him to lose his memory. His mother begs Mu Cheng to leave him and the latter has no choice but to do so. Little does she know that she already has Guang Xi's child.

Six years pass. Mu Cheng lives a quiet life with her young son in the countryside while Guang Xi is now a successful lawyer and is engaged to He Yi Qian, the kind and beautiful doctor who took care of him after his surgery. A strangely familiar piano piece stirs Guang Xi's heart as he struggles to recall his past romance with Mu Cheng. How will the couple make up for six years of lost time? Happiness, which stop do I alight at?

I got really into it after the first episode. But at the time I didn't realize that the drama came out recently like in October, so there's only 11 episodes available and the total number of episodes is TBA. x_X This really sucks because I really like the drama so far and it's gonna suck when I won't be able to finish it whenever I do get to episode 11! I'm pretty impatient with these sort of things. Ahah.
