The White Lie

So for my bedtime story, I decided to reread my posts for 2011. As I enter the month of May 2011, I realised that my posts were mostly about guys and my feelings.
I guess I just have to clear things up.

Like my introduction page says "Guys are not my current interest" which, is part truth, part lie.

I'm telling the truth about not feeling anything serious for the opposite gender. It's just not my time to be going through that much of emotion. Just living my life like it is, carefree and the freedom to fantasize about certain guys like Tom Daley or Sean Berdy (Emmett from Switched at Birth).

The lying part is that I will never lack interest in guys. I would always feel a little giddy when you update your life on the social network sites. It's like I'm stalking you, but from a distance. Well, that didn't really make any sense. Hmmph.

Yeah. I guess I've made myself clear here.

Training later at 4 pm.
Should I go for the French class?

Not your only child..

It annoys me when my parents ask me to do something when I'm in the middle of doing something else, and just expects me to drop everything on my hand and do it for them. It's not that I'm being disrespectful, but if you have 3 other siblings, who are obviously not doing anything, and you end up being called for, you couldn't help but wonder, "why me? They are not doing anything, why not them?"

"I'm busy." Is a line I've learned not to use when being in this situation.
They would always use this classic comeback line:
"When I ask you to do something, then you're busy. But when there's nothing I want you to do, you're not busy." 

That always leaves me speechless, because I don't want to continue with "Well, you always choose the times when I'm doing something" 
That would only end up with all my request for something being ignored.

In the end, I always do as I'm told and avoid all the drama.

But I couldn't help but wonder, why always me? You guys have 3 more children who would happily do those things for you, when they have nothing else better to do though, but yet you chose the busy one.
I JUST DON'T GET IT. 

Another mystery about a parent.

Day Eight: A picture that makes you laugh.



I actually have a few photos that makes me laugh, but I'd rather not put them online for the good of everybody. Especially myself. Ha. 

The photo above makes me laugh because everybody was trying to do the "high-waisted nerd look". I think most of us were "half-way there". The moment when we all just agreed to pose like this, silently I laugh.
Trinity (the cute little girl in front) just made this photo that more adorable and funny!!

This was taken after a long night of caroling a year ago, and some of us just decided to let loose and act wild. Good times, good times...

Merry December :)

Yeah, the second day of one of my favourite months of the year, next to January.

Here's 5 things I look forward to this Christmas:

1) Caroling- favourite Christmas event. Get to go to houses and venues to sing wonderful carols!
2) Shopping! Mostly for all my darlings. Presents!
3) Christmas-themed Movies! They only play it once a year, so HOME ALONE MARATHON!
4) Family Reunions! Aunt Mimi and Aunt Ani coming back for the hols this year! Oh the comedic drama that will happen!
5) Christmas Day!! The day I've been looking forward to every year! The presents, the laughter, the food! Can't dislike the food on Christmas!

Thinking about all these things just makes me really happy and giddy inside. I feel like a little kid again :)

Hope you guys are preparing well for the holidays too! Don't forget to write your letters to Santa!

Day Seven: A picture of your most treasured item.

This is my baby over here.


Lucky. My Allstar BF 2008 epee.
It's my fencing weapon and my confidence booster. Dad gave it to me as a "well done and all the best" gift late 2010, I think. Can't remember the exact date I got it.
Fencing fact: The heaviest weapon is the epee, and it's bell guard is also the largest among the others. 
So whenever I hold Lucky up, it immediately makes me feel a lot bigger (and stronger) because I'm only 156cm which is actually considered "small-size" in the sport.
I named it Lucky because all through the 2 years together, I've managed to improve my accuracy and it made me feel like it brings me luck, so yeah, LUCKY :)

If anyone tries to mess with my weapon, oh, you'll probably end up polishing it until it really shines!

Day Six: A picture of a person you’d love to trade places with for a day.

Lisa Ling (her Wiki page)

I would like to trade places with her because of her career. She's a journalist, the Oprah Show Investigative Reporter and she has covered many stories and investigation. She's not like Giuliana Rancic or Cat Deely covering entertainment news, but she does the hardcore stuffs like child trafficking to the 9/11 to the bride burning in India.

I got inspired by her on the Oprah Show one day. She was interviewing this man who shot his family members and who was going to be executed the next day. The one thing I really admire about her is that she is able to stare these people in the eye without the slightest sight of fear.

What amazes me still is that she got in and out of North Korea safely! I mean, her documentary about the country shows us how hard it is to go to places without being followed by the Army General. To make it out alive without being locked up, is really awesome.

She is truly my inspiration and an amazing person. I would be scared but honoured to be able to step foot in her shoes for a day.

Must Watch!

So, ever since Star World introduced us to their new shows, I am now currently hooked to this one:

It's a story about two babies who were switched at birth and both grew up in totally opposite backgrounds.
I love everything from the plot to the actors.
Incredibly talented actors from Lucas Grabeel to Katie Leclerc. I am slowly falling into obsession with this show.
What amazes me is that Katie is hard at hearing but is still able to speak and Sean Berdy (the very cute guy below) is really deaf. They are doing such an amazing job and I'm more interested in the Sign Language now.

Won't you just die for this pair of eyes?
