Mata Maketa!!!

Okay, okay. So, everyone is going on and on (and on and on and on) about how lame Dragon Ball Z: Evolution is. Well, I went to see it today. And you know what? I liked it. That's right.

Now, it's true, before today I knew NOTHING about Dragon Ball Z. Why? It never appealed to me to watch it, it seemed stupid (and I'm talking about the series here) and poorly drawn. So I didn't want to watch it. But I liked the movie.

And I don't think it's fair to say that I only liked the movie because I never watched the series. Because I think, even if I had watched the series, I still would have liked the movie.

That's the way movies are. Death Note the series was amazing, but the live action movie was really different. But it was still AMAZING and I loved it even though I had seen the series. I had no problem with it. Battle Royale the book is one of my favorites, and the movie is completely different, and I still love the movie! Etc, etc I could go on. My point is, I usually like both, changing things for the movie doesn't bother me, a lot of the time it's for time reasons. I don't want to sit through a 52 hour movie.

Another thing. I hate critics. Hate hate hate. I can't help it. Everytime (well, usually) when they say something about a movie, I think the opposite. They never help me and I never believe them because they're always wrong. They suck. :(

So anyways. I liked it. That's all that matters to me. ^_^ Goku's my favorite of course. :)

I'm done now...I lost my train of thought...go figure.

"No matter how far...run, for all you're worth." - Nanahara Shuya (Battle Royale)

Battle Royale...sheer genius. If you haven't seen it, you need to.

Haha. I just figured out my Korean age. Don't ask, I was bored, and watching SHINee's Yunhanam and wondering...hmmm how old am I in Korean calculations anyway?

So I figured it out. I'm 20 by Korean age, and only 18 by western calculations.

At least, I THINK that's right. I've read on a lot of different websites, and from what I understand, the Korean age is counted by years you have been living, not full years you've been through. At birth, you are considered one year old. Then, at the start of the new year (I assume the lunar new year, in either January or February of every year) you turn another year old. You still have your birthday though, which is the only part I don't understand. I guess you don't technically say you turn whatever age on that day, it's just a celebration of the day you were born.

So it's pretty easy to figure out.

For example, I was born on December 17th, 1990, making me currently 18 years old by western age because I have not had my birthday this year. The lunar new year has passed however, so that adds another year to my age, as well as the "being one year old" at birth. That makes me 20.

Going with that, take SHINee's lead singer Jong Hyun. I believe he was born April 4th, 1990. ( I don't remember the exact date but I know it's April). Now that that date has passed for this year, he is 19 by western age, but the new year has passed as well making him 20. The reason my western age is 18 and my Korean age is 20 and his is 19 and 20 is because he has already had his birthday this year and I haven't.

So when December rolls around I will be 19 by western standards and almost 21 by Korean age.

I thought it was pretty cool.

I was in my first car wreck a week ago (well a week ago if it was yesterday).

I was leaving a Vietnamese event at the college I am attending next fall. I pulled out of the parking lot, on to one of the many little streets around the college, and out onto the main road, getting in the left hand lane at the intersection where Thompson meets Main Street.

Well I swear I saw a green arrow or whatever, and I saw the car but it looked like it was far enough up on the road and they looked like they were slowing down. So I went. Well I knew I probably shouldn't have. I got t-boned in the back passenger door. Then rolled and hit a pole. Didn't hit the pole hard though.

I can still drive my car. But the other car was totaled and she couldn't even drive it home. Well...later on the insurance guy told us that their car was totaled even before it hit mine.

So...police arrived and I was still in shock and upset so I just said it was my fault, which after I got home I didn't believe. I still don't believe it and I don't think I will. They didn't ask any questions and just gave me the ticket, which I would fight but I'm too lazy. I don't even really care. All I care about is that the insurance decided to total my car since it already had wreck on the title before we bought it. So now I feel bad because my parents have to get me another car. Well, we already took care of that. We got one from the same guy I got my first one from, he just has to repair it, but it has a clear title.

From the place that she hit my car, it's obvious that I was at least 3/4 of the way through the intersection already. There is no way she couldn't have seen me. And I know she could have stopped. The entire issue here is not whether or not the right away was yielded, but that she didn't stop to avoid a crash, which normal people do. The same EXACT thing has happened to me twice where I have been on the other end of that, saw the car coming in the turn, and stopped to avoid hitting it. And I stopped both times and never hit a car. The girl that hit me looked younger so I assumed she was some inexperienced 16yr old driver or something. I know I'm only 18, but I've got at least two years of experience, and I'm a really good driver, or so everyone says, and I'm careful and non-aggressive. I've never even been pulled over and given a ticket before. But no; that girl was 20yrs old. 20yrs old and still apparantly can't drive.

My guess is she wasn't looking or didn't care. She couldn't; or shouldn't have been anyway; going more than 35mph so she could have stopped.

So yeah I'm mad about that, and I'm not just trying to bash the other driver. I still think she was at fault too, but accidents happen even if you are paying attention.

But after the crash, I'm just mentally tormented everytime I drive. It hasn't gotten any better, and now it's been over two weeks since the crash (I edited this entry a week after I started it). I want to get back to normal, but I want to make sure I'm aways careful and that I don't get into any more wrecks, period. I don't want to hurt my current car anymore than it is, since it's worth credit on my new one, and I really don't want to mess up the new one either. I don't want anyone to get hurt and I can't afford another car.

I'm so paranoid now, even worse than before. I don't want to drive, period. I can't stand the mental scars that won't go away. I'm always second guessing myself now, even on stuff I know is right. I can't stand driving like that and I don't know what to do to get over it.

There goes my spleen. Not really. But you get the point.

So...BoA's USA debut album finally came out. And I've got to say, overall, I'm disappointed with it.

It's not that I don't like BoA, because I do. I've never really been a hardcore fan, but I've liked her Japanese/Korean etc stuff. I was a little iffy about her debut in america. It's not that I didn't want it to happen, because I think this is a good opportunity for her. It's a chance to gain more fans, and keep her old ones that live in the US. But I was fearful that she would get sucked into the american corruption of music and music artists. I didn't want her to change, because foreign artists are SO different that american ones, and it's usually in a good way.

I like the old BoA. And I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think her new album is very representative of that. I saw it coming from when her music video for Eat You Up was first released. In the Korean version on the MV, we saw the old BoA, with a song that was starting to push the limits of the soft, sweet songs you usually hear. But I didn't think Eat You Up was very "suggestive" as compared to other songs you hear in america. It's like, G rated. But you can see the changes starting. And the american version of the video for Eat You Up pretty much sucked. And it was OBVIOUSLY an american made video. It was horrible to watch it.

So then I listened to the full US album. And the songs on there did exactly what I was afraid they would do. I think the album went way overboard trying to americanize the songs and catch the audience here. I'm not so sure it will work either...but I don't like many of the songs...Mainly because they are just so freakin' cliche! I miss the old songs :( All of the songs pretty much repeat without really saying anything or speaking to any part of me...and I don't really like the english version of Girls on Top. The Korean was definitely better, but I do like her cover of the Korean AnyBand song 'Daydream' which is 'Scream' on this album, and a cover of German group Monrose's song by the same title. (It's kind of like the whole DBSK MIROTIC thing where it's sold to two different labels in two different countries.)

While the songs are too cliche for me, and too repetitive, they are also just too much like american music. It's like they changed BoA so she would 'fit in' to the american market. Well, I don't appreciate that. People would love her for who she is.

I also really hate cursing in songs. I know hers is minor, and the album overall is not NEAR as suggestive as some american stuff, but I'm just hoping that it doesn't start out like this, and then lead to that. :(

It's also hard for me to understand her. It's like the music is too overpowering, and she has too much of an accent to understand. And I usually do REALLY well with people who have an accented english. I'm not bashing her at all for this, but maybe they shouldn't have rushed her album so much, and she could have had more time. I'm not sure if they were teaching her english completely or what, but she has made a HUGE improvement with english speaking. I just don't think it's good enough yet to release to a native english speaking country. But she's not BAD at english and she doesn't have a HORRIBLE accent, but it's still in the process. I know it's got to be really hard to learn english and not have an accent.

I'm sick of people complaining about Obama winning the presidency. I'm also sick of the slander.

Just stop it already, he won and there's nothing you can do about it. You're making the rest of us sick with your immature comments that a fifth grader could come up with. I'm so fed up with it. Honestly, you're not that important, so get over yourself already.

Oh, and by the way, for the record. OBAMA WON. So suck it.

Okay, so basically these are probably only worth the watch if you're in to Asian music/movies and know some of the people. Yet some of the others I think are worth the watch even if you aren't. Even the ones about specific people would be funny to me even if I didn't know who they were. But hey, that's just me, and I'm a freak ^_^

So this is my little collection of funny videos I like to watch on youtube. And yes, I am biased as in all of these videos, or most of them, are asian-related. haha ^^

So wait...yeah they aren't going to make sense unless you know the groups or the shows. But some are still funny.

Kevin "attacked" by a bird. xD


This is def. one of those you wouldn't understand. This is Tohoshinki on their T tour. They are doing sensual counting. HAHA. No, they aren't gay, they're just being silly. And it's pretty much a fan service because all the fans go crazy. But it's hilarious.


Warning, this one will only be funny to those who like the group SHINee!

Omo, I haven't posted on here in forever...

Mainly because I forgot I have it...and never use it.

Anyways, I don't guess much has changed, I still hate school, want to move out, and I don't want to work...well I already quit my job...I need the money but I don't want to work anymore, at least not during school. It's too much to take and I never get my homework done. I'd rather not sacrifice my 4.0 if I can avoid it.

My ears hurt...

I just got the second hole in the lobe pierced today. I got the first holes done in December when I got the helix cartilage done...now the only piercing left I want is my right conch piercing.

Well...I don't really feel like writing right now. I'm hungry and sleepy...I need to go take care of both.

Okay, so anyway. I'm a little bit pissed. I had to work Saturday and Sunday, the next day I'm SUPPOSED to work is Thursday, then Saturday...(then Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday ETC) gosh. haha.

But I got a text message today...or call...I don't remember...asking me if I could work a few hours tonight and not close. And I wouldn't have minded to, but I REALLY had to stay home to work on my research paper that is due Thursday. I have SO MUCH work to do on it and I need all the time I can get for it. So I feel bad for not being able to help, but I wasn't scheduled and I needed to do this. I usually don't mind to come in when I'm not scheduled.

Then I got another text message asking me to come in tomorrow for a few hours if they needed me to. That, I also would not mind, but it's my birthday. I know that probably sounds vain, but I don't mean it to, seriously. I put in for that day off in the system and it was approved. I still would not have minded to come in, but I've already got the evening planned. I'm going to the bank after school to get some money out of my savings, then Best Buy (where I work) to set up my new phone under MY NAME cause I'm turning 18 (whoo), then dinner with my boyfriend, then my party at my grandma's house like I have every year. I'd love to go see my grandfather's grave as well, since we shared a birthday :(

So...I don't want to work tomorrow, but like I said, usually I wouldn't mind. So I sent a text back asking what times, because my family had a party planned for me, and I was going to Best Buy after school to get my phone set up then going straight there so I wouldn't be able to come until 7:30, which is true but I hope I don't have to and I hope they don't get mad at me for going there after school to get my phone but not being able to work til later. But I've had this planned since Saturday, the party is an every year thing, and the dinner since last week.

Ughhhhhhh

Today was awful. In more than one sense. The biggest reason was because of the debates in German class. They were random, political debates. And it just bothers me how blind some people are. They confuse fact with opinion and won't listen to anything anyone else has to say. We had the whole "Obama vs. McCain" deal. And I was on the verge of just walking out of the room. (Travis tried, but then Strecker stopped our arguments). He planned on having a debate in class on Friday but then cancelled it after all that went on. I'm glad he did because I definitely would not have shown up for that, and it would be for the better. You don't want to get me involved when it comes to things like that, but I pretty much had to get involved today. And there are two people in that class I SERIOUSLY can't stand. Never really could, and now it's even worse. So I guess I will pretty much hate that class from now on. xD

Anyways, I hate it when people talk about things they know nothing about. That was evident today. There are so many things going on that you don't even know, I mean, unless you seriously keep up with everything that has been reported. Strecker was telling us a lot of stuff that happened, about the stock market plummets and the government bailing out huge companies. I don't think anyone should bail them out. America is wasting money they don't have on bailing out these good for nothing companies and on the war in Iraq. America is on the verge of bankruptcy- or would be, if China stopped lending it millions. America doesn't even appreciate it. America has always looked down on, criticized China and its ways, and slandered the country. Yet when America needed money, China helped bail them out. America is the most ungrateful country. I think China should stop lending money to America, why should they? America will fall if it stops giving it money, but who cares? The blame is on the shoulders of the leaders of America, or so they are called. I know this country is going to go down further. It's impossible for it not to, with all this money being wasted on Iraq and other unnecessary things.

I don't even care. America can go down, but it's not taking me with it.

Maybe if it did, some of the ignorance would be resolved, and the people would stop acting as if they were better than everyone else and appreciate what they have when they have it. And maybe one day the rich would stock sticking their noses up in the air and understand what it feels like to be middle class or lower -- if America would fail, then this would finally happen.

And I think they deserve it.

Keita

So the school year starts tomorrow, and I don't want it to. I know, I know, who does right?

But it's just worse than it normally is. I don't want to go. I could care less about it this year. So it's probably going to be goodbye 4.0, but you know what? I don't care anymore. I'm going to Western next year and it's not going to be hard to get in. I don't want to go to Western. I don't want to go anywhere. But I have to. I wanted to go straight to Washington and Lee but they make 1st and 2nd year students live in dorms. And I'm not doing that. At all. I refuse - I hate dorm rooms and I can't live that close to someone else I don't know. So I'm stuck going to Western and then Washington and Lee. It won't be hard to get in to W&L after going to Western so I'm not really worried about my high school grades. I never was worried, but I managed to at least halfway try and keep my 4.0.

But I'm past caring now. I didn't read either one of my summer reading books. There's a short paper on one, a quotation test on the other, and a discussion, and an in class essay on each. But I don't care. That's not many grades and I can pull it up before the end of the nine weeks. I never talk in discussions or try on in class essays anyway.

I just want to move out and finish college. Heck. I don't even want to do that. I want to hurry up and move to Japan already.

I want dinner...

Love
Keita

Urggghhhh it took me forever to finally get this stuff on here! haha. I was supposed to go to work yesterday, but I didn't want to go...so I tried to call in but no one answered. Oh well. Not my problem. So I got to go to the Vietnamese Concert in this Chinese place called Fiji Island. I'm not even gonna try to say/type the name of the concert or whatever that was on the ticket, cause I would mess it up T_T But I know Cat Tien -- can't mess that name up ^_^

So I have some pictures and a short video from the concert. Some of the pictures are blurry and some are bad quality...but hey...it was hard to get a good one with the flash off. With the flash on it completely messed it up. haha.

Also, the other day, I had to go to graduation as a junior marshall. I was one of the head marshalls, so I had to wear the getup...

I made it so all the pictures in this post are thumbnails. You can click on them for a larger version.



Anyway..O.o back to the concert stuff. I scanned my ticket ^_^



And here is me and Tien ^_^



And me and Tien with Cat Tien.



And then a few during the concert...bad quality though =[



Ooh!~ Look I got a rose, haha =]



And finally, the video.

On May 19th, 2008 SM Entertainment began to show us its next project, a boy band consisting of five teens ranging from 14-18 which would be known as SHINee. The name, ( 샤이니 in Hangeul), is the fusion of the word "shine" and the suffix "ee." This roughly translates to "people receiving light" and sets the stage for the bright future for these young stars. A teaser video was first released on the 19th which showed clips from an upcoming music video and song from the group.

The group's five members are On Yoo who is the leader (18 years old), Tae Min (14 years old), said to be the best dancer as well as the youngest, Jong Hyun (18 years old) and lead vocals, Key (16 years old), and Min Ho (17 years old).

On May 22nd, SHINee's First Mini Album was released along with their first music video. The album consists of the songs "Nuna is So Pretty (Replay)," "In My Room," "Real," and "Love Should Go On." The musical style of SHINee is established through this preview of what is to come. The listener can tell right off that this is not a typical bubblegum pop group of copy cats like the Backstreet Boys or N'Sync. SHINee's music is diverse and has a lot of R&B qualities. It is expected that they will become a somewhat version of Dong Bang Shin Ki, SM Entertainment's most popular boy band.

SHINee made two appearances on television to date. The first was their debut on Mnet M!Countdown and then SBS Inkigayo. At both performances they sang the first track off their mini-album, "Nuna is So Pretty." It has become a big hit, with smooth vocals and great dance steps. These boys are seriously showing potential for a promising future in the music business. Below are both performances, the music video, and the romaji lyrics for "Nuna is So Pretty."

Their website is located at here.

I HIGHLY recommend them! I bought their mini-album today, so should you! Go to http://www.yesasia.com to purchase!

Ugh there is so much going on lately. I've been working quite a bit lately and haven't had much time for anything. I'm doing decent in school...but I guess I could do better. I'm just too tired of trying and I just think it is pointless anyways.

I watched Death Note: The Last Name a few weeks ago. I cried. For half an hour.

I think I will watch Sabu tomorrow or Moonlight Jellyfish....hmm. But I also have to watch Flags of Our Fathers for a history project which SUCKS because it is probably more america oriented and I don't want a freakin american movie. I WANT A JAPANESE MOVIE. gosh.

We're supposed to have a chemistry test tomorrow. I'm not studying...cause I'm not going to take the test. She hasn't prepared us for the material and we have no idea what's going on. She wasn't even at school today so we couldn't ask her questions. Me and two others went to the principal's office after our class today to talk to him about it. He told us to come in the morning and get that teacher to come down with us and we could talk about it. So even if she won't give us an extension, I'm still not taking it. Heck, I'll just walk out. I don't really care anymore. I'm smart. And I don't need to keep my 4.0 in high school to tell me that.

By the way, I am now an official representative for the US on Rising Dragon (a Tatsuya Fujiwara fansite). http://tatsuya.phkp.co.uk/

Anyway...I don't think I did any of my homework but hopefully I can do it when I get to school or something cause I have to get there early anyways. Oh yeah...anddddddd

I MADE BASS DRUM, I MADE BASS DRUM!!! I MADE BASS DRUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I will be playing bass 2 in marching band this year. It was funny cause when he was announcing the placements...we were just in class and I'm the only percussionist in that class, and he was just talking and then said something that got my attention and then he went right on to say I would be playing bass 2 next year and I was just kinda like...huh? Then he said something like not bad for a colorguard and choir girl. LOL

Anyways I'm REALLY tired...but overall today was a good day...I got a lot of hugs so that's always good ^_^ Makes me happy. haha.

Jya, mata ne!

Keita

( You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for minors. )

So...I don't remember what I was initially gonna write about.
Oh well.

Movie review time! So I watched Death Note 1 & 2 and Battle Royale 1 &2 and I must say, these movies are at THE TOP of my list. They are AMAZING. Not to mention the acting, especially Fujiwara Tatsuya in all four movies. He's very talented and brings so much into the characters that he portrays. I highly recommend all of these movies to ANYONE. Even though Battle Royale is VERY graphic at times, stuff like that doesn't bother me, so I loved it. Don't listen to a lot of people who say that the second Battle Royale sucked because the plot and acting was bad. THIS IS NOT TRUE!!! The plot was good, and the acting great. Yes, the first one is a bit more interesting, simply because of the concept of the first one. But the second one is that much needed closure.

Two of my CDs finally came in a few days ago. Jun Su's If...!? solo CD and Tohoshinki's Purple Line single ^_^ They are amazing. The Dong Bang Shin Ki/Tohoshinki T.R.I.C.K. singles are definitely at the top of my recommendation list for music right now. I ordered/preordered Yun Ho's and Jae Joong's solos. They haven't come in yet cause Jae's was just released on the 12th. It should be soon too.

I also got Boys of Tomorrow on DVD. It came in the mail today. This is also a really good movie I recommend! Along with GO. Which I still need to buy O.o

Today I ordered Death Note 1 & 2 and the Battle Royale novel. I'm going to buy the movies soon too...

Turns out I have a job interview on Thursday, which is probably a good thing. Cause I desperately need a job...to support my ebay addiction. I still have a lot of things on there I'm watching, and I have no money left, haha X.x  xD

I think I have play rehearsal tomorrow....=[ But at least this is only a three day week at school...spring break, baby! I'm gonna watch Death Note and Battle Royale so many times...I wouldn't be surprised if I come back to school with the movies memorized....O.o

I just finished some of my homework...writing a paper on whether or not America was justified in dropping the atomic bomb. Of course, I chose the "No they weren't justified" side. That was a fun paper to write.  I still haven't done my precalc homework. And it's already 12:30. I need to go to bed so I can get up and not fall asleep at school...I have a bad habit of taking naps in the evenings...and with my drum lesson and rehearsal tomorrow I won't have time to sleep. =[

On a happier note, I made it into symphonic band. Dunno how that happened....

Jya, mata ^_^

Well. New LiveJournal. ^_^

I still have my blog on my website and my xanga though ^_^ I'm trying to decide if I should write the same thing in each one or not...

I can't really think of anything to write right now except that I'm being a procrastinator and avoiding studying for my history test, writing my history essay, writing my english assignment, and studying for my english test. I don't feel like doing them, plus I don't know where to start.

So I spent the night at Michelle's last night ^_^ We watched Into The Wild, Death at a Funeral, and Gone, Baby, Gone. They were all three really great movies. I really love Into the Wild because of the thought processor incorporated in the whole thing. Then today we went to go see The Bank Job which was better than I thought it would be, cause I don't usually like movies like that, but I liked that one.

I want to go watch more Brown Sugar Macchiato. I don't feel like doing homework. Gahh... O.o

I'm waiting on several packages to come in...I'm getting anxious. Haha. I ordered Jun Su's solo CD and Dong Bang Shin Ki's Purple Line single...then a few days later I ordered Yun Ho's solo and Jae Joong's solo which isn't out yet so I know those won't ship for a while. I also bought a percussion book...and I still need to buy some more sticks....And earlier today I bought Boys of Tomorrow DVD. It's a really good movie. OH! At least my Japan and Korea World Cup soccer bands came in haha.

I decided to post my little listy thingy I wrote a few days ago...This is a list of celebrities and such that I fell deserve my respect and those that do not. Of course, it is impossible to list all of them on either list, that would take FOREVER. Plus, I'm absent minded. So I can't think of all the people I want to list at one time.

Here we go ^_^
