My Corner

i just watched 3 scary movies in a roll! *applaud*

those who know me well know that i DON'T watch scary movies. i had to hide behind someone for the entire 4 hours (ok.. the movies were kinda short, they were korean too). one of them got a twist at the end that none of us knew what was going on. and no, i still don't enjoy watching scary movies so don't ask me to watch "Exorcism of Emily Rose" even though i know it was filmed in UBC MacMillan. (of course i know it's scary! i spent 4 freaking years in that building! that place is hell.)

this is probably the warmest christmas ever! this is so not christmas-sy. i was actually hoping that we can have a white christmas this year. i had never seen one! and it was so cold last week. not just we won't get a white christmas, it's gonna be rain rain rain. but still, hope you guys all to have a happy holiday and i hope you all get as spoiled rotten as you all deserved. i know i will =).

I got this from an email:


They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere but that they are as confused as you. You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward. You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One-night-stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender! What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out...


To all my twenty-something friends... maybe it will help you feel like you aren't alone in your state of confusion...

sometimes i wonder what my life would be like if that didn't happen. i think i would either become a complete loser, or be a much more successful person than i am today.


that was 10 years ago. i almost never put a thought to it for so many years. really. i almost even forgot the date that totally changed everything. but it suddenly crossed my mind today.


but there's no what if.


what's done cannot be un-done, what's not done cannot be done, words cannot be taken back nor can they be said after the opportunity passes u by.


once again, i am reminded how lucky i am and i should focus on what i have rather than what i don't have.

i was talking to a friend in hk and she told me her most anticipated upcoming movies are Harry Potter 4 and Perhaps Love. i'd say HP4 was quite entertaining as a movie although it was nothing compared to the book. but honestly, i have no complain. it was better than i thought and wayyy better than Prisoner Of Azkaban. if you are interested in knowing what's missing in the movie at all (as if anyone cares), go visit his page. geez... so detailed! as for Perhaps love... i wonder if we will get to watch it here? i don't know too much about it. i heard it's a musical (correct me if i'm wrong). but the site took forever to load. i had to give up.

temperature is kinda low for this time of the year. people... keep yourself warm and please use extra caution when you drive. there are black ice everywhere!! baby 4x4 slid 10 meters today. tis the season i don't like to drive.

for the last couple of months, i realized i had been sneezing quite a lot during work. i figured that i must have developed some kind of allergic reaction to i-don't-know-what since i'm always exposed to a lot of weird materials. frank asked me if i know what i was allergic to and i told him "i don't know".


today, i gave him a new answer.


"Rhema... and YOU."

resulted in some serious beating. >_<
