TYGA, The Throwbacks & Rapper Steph

2009-04-25T10:24:00.001-07:00

Today I made a friend go to a concert for a guy he didn't really feel: Tyga. He's not a really well known rapper, but he does have some connections.
Tyga's Labels:
Decaydance: FOB (Founder: Pete Wentz), Gym Class Heroes, etc.
Young Money: Lil Wayne (founder), Dizzy, etc.
G.E.D Inc.: Website

The opening act was fun. But Tyga brought over his own crew from G.E.D. We watched them open & they were pretty cool too. We left soon after Tyga came out- after a long, drawn out introduction. He did one song, and we concluded he was just full of hot air and left during his second song. I'm not saying that he's arrogant or anything, but that's really the vibe he came out with.

Rapper Steph was awesome though, her songs were politically inspired and something out of the ordinary. The throwbacks were just fun people to to watch, they were dynamic and full of energy. Hey, even though we stuck around for the opening act, we still has some fun.

Rapper Steph:

The Throwbacks:

As for Tyga, well, like I said before, we didn't stick around to see what he offered. But I can say she shows some sort of promise (I think he's a funny kid), we'll see in his next album. I'm not going to post a vid on him cause, well, I dunno which one to put up. Also, he'll probably be more appealing if he rapped about more mature things. But hey, he's only 17.

---Edit.
So my friend went to the concert after I left, and she told me he was really nice and personable....damn. Guess I was wrong about him? Guess I'll never find out.

What would you do for Earth Day?

2009-04-23T10:35:00.001-07:00

Yesterday's Daily Dig asked readers to tell them what would they do to celebrate Earth Day. The winner gets 20 pounds of Books! Of course I didn't win but...my answer was mentioned in the email lololol :) Which one would Winnie Say?

But anyways, what I really did was recycle some old cargo pants into a bracelet, and other thingies as well, I would post that later.

Anime Obscureness: Saiyuki

2009-04-18T21:40:00.001-07:00

Guess that I found on the "Show" list on YouTube?
(Squeals! Top left clockwise: Sanzo: the serious priest , Hakkai: the motherly figure, Gojyo: the smoker, and ladies man, Goku: the happy, hungry kid)

This is the first anime I ever watched knowing that it was an anime-japanimation--whatever you want to call it. And even though I'm trying not to draw anime things as often, Saiyuki is one of my BIGGEST sources of inspiration I had, just because the style was so different, at least for the more older male and female characters. (Notice how in other animes, you cant tell if someone is 16~37 years of age?)

Anyways- the show got a little more cornball to me: Redhead and Monkeyboy fight, demon comes, flashback, victory, off to the west. The show is 50 episodes long, but does it need that many? 30 would be enough, really. At least it's not Inuyasha long. (shudder)

Still awesome.

And the comic relief, although it feels like there may be too much, is nice. The anime is not intended to be too serious- sometimes characters pick on each other for the way they are drawn, like Gojyo and his wierd antenna hairs. And for some reason, when the show does go down a very serious path, you cannot help but miss the show's little corny jokes.

Also, if you are a girl, there is quite a bit of eye candy, and potental yaoi moments. oolala.

Oh, and female characters are okay and fun too like the merciful goddess (too lazy to find a pic of her)...wait, damn, she don't count as a girl really--she's a hemanphrodite. Oh well, anyways, all FEMINIME characters have huge boobs. Why? I dernos. I don't seem to get it. Probably to draw more attention to them. I mean, all the guys are soo pretty.

I dont know why

2009-04-13T16:10:00.001-07:00

I think I've fostered a sense of dislike toward urbanoutfitters. I feel like they're trying to be so chic and indie but they are soooo commercializing it (with prices which seem kinda reasonable but can be ya know, a few bucks cheaper) at the same time ARGH.

Well actually, it's becuase they had these HOT headphones but they were to expensive for me to get.

Anyways, my skullcandy-Jamaica-colored buds broke. I've actually went to Newbury Comics to see if I could get another pair and decided against it. I also told a fellow shopper to don't get the brand when he started lookin at them. I think I did the right thing.

Other things to note:

Is it me or has converse shoes have gotten more expensive and more abundant than before. My friend got me a pair for 25 bucks, I see them for 40 now.

One of my friends told me how she got Uggs before they got popular and they were $60 when she got them.

I should stop buying stuff just becuase it's cheaper in a smaller size, I look bloated all the time now lol.

Made a list of bands to check out : Kenne, Kill Hannah, South, Danger Radio.

Yellow is hot, mustard yellow, nah. I see mustard yellow shoes and they just look like dirty yellow shoes to me. Sorry!

Speaking of clothes: http://lookbook.nu/

Still failing chemistry. Woot!

(reposted form a Facebook Note)

Almost every other day, I go to class by taking the Red Line from Quincy Adams to Park Street and then taking the Green B line to BU East.

Well last week, I had to miss my 9 AM Spanish Class (twice) becuase a B train did not arrive on the time it usually would at Park Street, only about 5 minutes later than it should have. If I took this train at its regular time, I would be at class 5 minutes early, so it shouldn't be a big deal if the train was five minutes late. But, you see, during those 5 minutes, a good number of other trains from other lines drive up to Park Street, thus causing heavy traffic on the railway.

So, in order to deal with this, I decided to go to bed earlier, get up a little earlier, and take a earlier train to Park Street. So I'm waiting at Park Street and there's no train. Peculiar. Luckily I made it to my Spanish Class only about 10 minutes late, becuase I ran there from Kenmore Station. While I was carrying my guitar. Too bad I had an exam. Oops!

"Oh, c'mon, this never happened before, having a late train 3 times in a week, maybe they'll shape up." Yeah, that's what I thought until today.

So I took an earlier train to Park Street just to make sure, again, that I won't be late for Spanish. There was a train waiting for me this time! But I couldn't get on, becuase a flurry of the people getting out of the Red Line with me pushed, and shoved, and filled the train. It really sucks, becuase you know more than half of these people in that stuffed train are going to be gone by the time that train reaches Copley Station.

Crap, so I am stuck at Park Street waiting for the B train. Well, I have about 25 minutes 'til class, I'm sure to be there early. Maybe my regular train won't screw me again, like it had three times previously. And even if it doesn't come I am not going to run to Spanish Class again.

Of course it doesn't come for the next 20 minutes. I watch the other trains go by. C, D, D, E, C, C, D, E.

And every time me and my fellow B-line commuters see the trains go by, we shake our heads and mutter to ourselves. I almost punched the wall after I saw that last E train pass by, taunting us with its empty seats. Our train finally comes, as well as the commuters fresh out of the Red Line. We pack ourselves into the car, and arrive to class, or work much later than usual.

So not only you guys have only one B train pass Park Street about every twenty minutes, while every other line comes by at least two times, you like to have that train come when people are getting out of the Red line at the same time. And of course the B train is closer to these guys, and so they just shove their rude selves, right in.

...

Well at least you guys knew you fucked up. After realizing that you didn't send a B train for a while, you send another one directly behind the one we were already on. And then you tell us we have to get off at Kenmore becuase the train was running express. Oh we shouldn't fret, becuase another train was right behind us. You guys are smart, you realize that most of us are already late, you can't piss us off any more.

I took cutie for a ride in my deathcab
She tipped me with a kiss I dropped her off at the meth lab
Before she left she made a dashboard confessional
And spilled her guts in cursive but whats worse is
I could still see her bright eyes like sunny day real estate
Oh my and in a funny way the ceiling tastes
So high but no chance
My little chemical romance left a bad taste in my mouth
But I approached her like hey mercedes why the long face
Why you cryin? theres no need
Just put on this coheed and fallout
Boy meets girl jimmy eat world
But Schlep eats pills till hes all out
Not once not twice she was thrice times a lady
Mackin on brand new, but I had to
Bounce over to the postal service to
Pick up these pills that take care of my nervousness
And all the way I saw planes and mistook 'em for stars
She played games but she took em too far
At the drive in
Watching soft porn and you can tell
By the trail of the dead, that there was somethin in the popcorn
I hop in my cab destination midtown
Just to get up with some kids that like to get down
I'd made my rounds and that was that
In between the frowns and scraps and heart attacks
And I remember I seen her ass in early november
On a Thursday taking back Sunday for a refund
She shot a wink like no hard feelings
Then she jetted to brazil man them pills had me spun

This is the story of the year right here
This is hot water music
Put ya ramen into it

I highlighted all the references I knew of. I got bored.

So, I have a ton of things that I own that I just keep thinking that I would "need in the future." I'm going to try to make something out of all the things that I just keep lying around.

A List of these things:
*Sweaters that are yuck (I hate wearing sweaters in general)
*Extra Yarn
*T shirts too small for me, but have awesome logos
*Old CDs & their cases
*Papers and Books I do not look at anymore
*Stickers that I've saved cause "I didn't want to waste them"
*Origami Paper
*Broken Jewelry and Accessories

What I've made:
Yarnbanger:
*Hat from an old sweater that didn't fit me but was an AWESOME shade of Green
*Button from a giant box of random buttons we had in a dresser
*Yarn left over after I made a scarf
*Pink Marker that had a tiny bit of ink left over
=Took 2 episodes of Arrest Development to make

More when I am not failing classes

Recycling the easy way is expensive

2009-03-23T12:39:00.000-07:00

So I go to Urban Outfitters to find this thing.

Well, I can do awesome stuff like that too. You just roll up some magazine pages and make crap for your living space. Cool, I suppose, but why have other people do this is if you can do it yourself? Are we this lazy?

Anyways I made a flower, not with zine pages, becuase the only zines I have laying around are my mom's Chinese ones, which would scream FOB if used by an Asian person but chic if you aren't. It's made up of a bunch of curled up handouts from school: cut, rolled, and glued together with simple Elmer's glue.

[Ellipsis]

I think I'm going to make a vase when I get bored sometime. Maybe I can finish it before my mom throws it in the recycling bin. Hey, least I didn't pay like 10 bucks for it.

Ever wonder how many Notifications...

2009-03-21T19:10:00.000-07:00

is the maximum on Facebook?

So yeah, I decided that I wouldn't click on notifications at all to see how many I can get. I guess this is something I should have known already, but I wanted to see it for myself.
WrittenInDork (10:09:58 PM): so now you know.

My Ears are Ringing Love

2009-03-19T21:05:00.000-07:00

Today I stood in front of Guitar Center to see if I could snag a lovely new guitar! But before I go into that.

I lost my wallet.
I didn't want to admit that I did, and insisted that someone must of stole it from under my nose. But, I new the truth. I lost it somehow, and probably when I was asleep during the commute to school. Luckily someone found it and then I knew I was the one who lost it. I fell asleep in the lobby and dropped my wallet in the process. Then I went to class. Fail. Luckily someone found it, messaged me on Facebook, and we were able to meet up. Yes, thankyouthankyouthankyou.

Now that I had my wallet I went to guitar center after work. It was reopened behind Fenway Park and looks MUCH better than the one at BU. So I decided to buy a guitar from there after seeing Jennifer--A girl I just met when it opened, bought one. It is a Yamaha F335 and It was only 100 bucks. I also saw Jerry!

I still need to work it out though. Single notes sound just fine, but chords sound gross. Hmm.

And after I bought the guitar I proceeded to walk home where I saw Prospect Hill preforming by Fenway park- in celebration for the GC opening of course. Dude, they were pretty awesome. So after meeting up with Jennifer, we went closer to the stage to listen to them play. Man they are really good. Epicness! And I have to say they are AWESOME live. What's another thing that's awesome about them? Well they're from Mass. What.

So I bought their CD.

And Adam, (Voaclist-Dude, we shook hands lol) Edgar (Bassist) and Derek (Guitarist) signed it. The other guys weren't there.

It was super loud and there were only about 20 people there (everyone else was inside GC), and that just made it so more fun to enjoy, and even though I still cant hear now-24 hours later- it was epic. Epic Day, Epic Day.

I watched the first episode of season 3 Of Higurashi No Nako Koro Ni (Rei) in English and I am now infatuated with Ciel/Sempai/Chie. Mostly becuase they made a direct Ciel Reference in this episode, also also the fact that she was one of the female characters not wearing a skimpy costume. Love!

This would be the only reason why I would not want to wear glasses.

I Don't Have the Asian Glow

2009-03-15T16:41:00.001-07:00

This is a part of a series of blog posts for my health education class.

I have never drank alcohol because I wanted to. The one time I had alcohol was by accident. I was at a wedding and during the dinner, my father forbade me and my brother from drinking the beer in the glasses placed before us. We look over to the next table and we are shocked to find another girl drinking the beer right next to her mother. A waitress comes up to her and goes, "Would you like some more?" and fills her glass all the way the top. What? Turns out it was apple cider. Yummy.

Two years later I am at my uncle's wedding. When my brother and I were seated we were delighted to see a glass of apple cider for each of us. We grabbed them, clinked our glasses, and proceeded to drink and savor its flavor. There was a weird feeling. A bad taste. But then it felt kind of good for a second, but bad all over again. We realized it was champagne. We spit what was left in our mouths and placed the glasses back onto the table before anyone else can see. Soon after, a waiter came to take them away. And that was it. That was the only time I had alcohol, and I was 12 around the time.

I'm 18 now, and I still have never really been pressured to have alcohol or anything, except for the time my grandfather tried to sneak Chinese whiskey into my drink. I never got to experience the Asian glow. I have friends who drink and everything, but because I am a loser I never get the time to hang out with them. Maybe that's why I never drink. Actually, I don't think I ever will. It tasted gross during the wedding, and it smelled gross when my grandfather poured it into my water. Nah, I won't do it. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. It'd probably taste gross. And I probably wouldn't want it in a fruity drink either. It's just not me.

So I left dear, dear Xanga.
