Mood: Depressed.
Listening to: Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship (ft. Leighton Meester).
Reading: -hopefully,maybe- High School Debut.
Watching: SHOWS: The O.C, Full House.

Hey! D: Sorry for not posting in like ages! Not too much has been going on lately. Just a couple of topics to cover...(and re-cover from my last blog!)

1) My "Samsung" Voyager: So, to cover that up quickly from my last blog...the guy told me it was a Samsung Voyager and I was pretty blonde not to notice the 'LG' right on my phone and on the screen the pm says, 'LG Voyager.' So excuse my blonde mistakes. My phone really looks like this...



2) The Yearly Fair: So the yearly fair/amusement park that comes to town - Buffalo Days/the Ex'hibition' came. It's still going on actually. It was on Wednesday, yesterday, today, tomorrow and Sunday. I went yesterday, was supposed to go today and was also supposedly supposed to go tomorrow also but it's so damn expensive for ride passes - $40. I went yesterday anyways and it was kind of a big turn off. I realized there wasn't that many rides and I didn't get to go on the ones I wanted to go on. The crazy mouse, roller coaster fireball, polar express, mega drop, merry-go-round, starship, orbiter, Niagara Falls and the infamous slingshot (you have to pay $50 to go on it). I only went on a couple actually and my friend still has my money. -.- I didn't even make it til' night when they turn on the vibrant lights...FAIL.



3) Big Bang Fanfictions: So everybody knows who the band Big Bang is right? They're a K-POP (Korean pop) band who is now making their Japanese debut in Japan. :) I've liked them for awhile but I don't think I've really talked about them. Everyone knows I don't really like mainstream pop music but this is based in Asia so I don't mind because Big Bang somehow reels me in. :D They used to look so amazingly G...



...but they somehow decided to tone it down a bit. According to Wikipedia:

"Big Bang adopted the "hip hop" image concept, with some of the members slanting their caps in many promotional photos, live performances, music videos, and even having cornrows (most notably Taeyang) during the early days of their career. The group continued this image concept for the rest of 2006 and into 2007 until the release of their mini-album Always, which showcased the group in a more preppy-ish punk style, sporting modern day fashion (such as the skinny jeans with Converse or high-top sneakers as seen within the music video of their song "Lies"). Moving further away from the "gangster" look, Taeyang also cut off his cornrows into a faux hawk. Additionally, Big Bang has been noted for being a fashionable group,[3] inspiring teenagers with street-originated flamboyant style."

Well, at least they don't try to look baggy a lot so really I have no comment to it. They're new look, looks good too - it's just I focus more on their music then the way they look.



Man - I just got way off topic there! D: Anyways, back to what I was trying to say before I was discussing Big Bang's style. Everybody knows I write fanfictions right? Those of you who don't...I'll quote the definition again. x] Defintion one:

"A piece of fiction within a fandom utilizing characters and situations from a pre-existing work including (but not limited to) books, television programs, films, and comic strips."

:) Or for a bitter description of which I write is definition two:

"Fiction written by fans for other fans about the fandoms that they like. Usually the author takes the characters and/or the setting of the fandom and writes a new or continuing plot. Sometimes they write crossovers."

Get the topic? Hopefully you do! So anyways, people request which bands (I don't do movies/books/tv shows) or sometimes manga/anime series they'd like me to do a fanfiction of on buzznet. Usually I end up doing American powerpop/rock/alternative bands in the Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen labels but this really surprised me when someone was like, "Hey Maddi/Cinney, what up?! I noticed on your profile's 'what you're listen to now' had Big Bang's Foolish Love - it's sweet that some people in buzznet like Big Bang! Then I noticed you let people request fanfictions. You should do Big Bang!" It kind of just shook my and I thought yes, yes I should! :) So immediately I decided I would. I'll make casting calls on my journal with the characters everyone could apply for plus which band mate they'd get (Taeyang, Seungri etc.) and relapse to it. I was going to do one-shots (just a single chapter for each character/their bandmate) but this definitely sounded better! I'm even going to post chapters on my blog! Excited?! I am! I'm still preparing and deciding if the characters should have Korean names or English names..hm. Anywho, you shall be expecting that soon!

4) My Manga/Story: So remember when I posted that one vector picture a long time ago on my deviant? If you don't here's what it was:




I said if people liked it I would write a follow-up story to it. People liked it. I'm working on it! I have the intro so far and working on the first strip for the first chapter. Here's a preview (the intro) click the picture to see the full version. :) You'll love it!




It's basically Japanese-based love story between two girls (long story to that) with a really stupid plot. xD It had to be two girls, by the way because when I was doing the original vector image - I lost my pen for my wacom/bamboo tablet and it's way too hard to draw boys freestyle without my pen tablet! >.< So whatever two girls. The introduction might seem a little off (the girl with the brown hair is the purple-haired girl above - just so you're not confused). I'm still working on it...but hopefully it'll be up soon! :D

5) Full House: I've been getting a lot of e-mails on how come I'm not updating everyday with at least Full House news. So I've been through a couple episodes already without you guys...basically here's how it is now:

//Note:// if you have mozilla firefox it might look a bit off.

How it happened? The two break up because Young Jae feels guilty towards Hye Won because she now loves him and has known her too long to hurt her so he becomes too sympathetic and Ji Eun becomes saddened. Hye Won finally gave up an episode after and Young Jae was happy to finally be able to go to Ji Eun and confess his feelings and everything...but of course when he walks in he accidentally witnesses Min Hyuk and Ji Eun together and when Min Hyuk is caressing her face in sympathy (she's crying because she wants Young Jae to love her) it looks like Min Hyuk's kissing her so Young Jae becomes mad. Then the next day Ji Eun is surprised to see Young Jae sleeping in his bed (he was getting a new apartment when they broke up) - then meanwhile, Young Jae's father becomes overwhelmed with reporters appearing at his office talking about Ji Eun and Young Jae's marriage being a fake set-up and then Young Jae's father discovers the truth about their relationship (except for the fact that they really do like each other)...hm, then he goes over to Young Jae's and Ji Eun's house "full house" and slaps Young Jae - Ji Eun keeps apologizing/feels bad yadayadayada... she then goes over to Young Jae's parents house to apologize and Young Jae's father (calmly) tells her she must have had her reasons but don't ever bother them again or call them father, grandmother and mom. D: So then she feels really guilty and breaks up with Young Jae. I know...and now there are only 2 episodes left. I'm really scared because I might just finish it off today. If I do I'll probably right a huge blog about the last of Full House and then a review or if I don't finish it tonight it'll probably be pushed off until the Sunday. I hope it isn't though. I wonder...what shall I watch when I'm finished? Hm...

Well, that's it for today. I just remembered I still have to post July 15th - PART II. I'll do that sometime later. x] Check yeah guys later.

Any suggestions on new dramas?
I'm really into Korean but Japanese/Taiwanese are cool too.

july 24th

Mood: Content.
Listening to: Lisztomania by Phoenix.
Reading: Blogs.
Watching: SHOWS: The After Show. MOVIES: Sex Drive, The Hangover.

Sorry I haven't blogged for awhile! D: I've been caught up in some stuff. Basically here's how the past days have been...

I went swimming yesterday. Problem was I went on complete obligation and I didn't check the weather - so me and Alyssa were freezing in the water and not to mention when we came out! I was anxiously awaiting when I'd get my new cell phone and I finally got it! It's so amazing! It has a touch screen and it pulls out a keyboard. Plus it has like a built in media player/music player. I also bought a 1gb memory card for it so I put a lot of music on it. :) I DON'T NEED TO BUY AN IPOD ANYMORE! Yay!

It's a Samsung Voyager! c:

I finally watched The Hangover! Thank gosh! It is so hilarious! I seen a preview for it like a couple months before it came out and I was so psyched! c: I finally seen it though so it's all good! It was so funny!



I watched a lot of Full House! :D I'll edit this blog later with the updates because I want to watch this movie again and have a nap! It's been a long day...

Did you like The Hangover?
Isn't my cell phone awesome?!
:D

July 20th

Mood: Relinquished.
Listening to: PHOENIX! x] & Coconut Records.
Reading: Blogs.
Watching: SHOWS: Full House. MOVIES: Zack and Miri - Make a Porno.

How's everyone doing since 1/2AM? I've been doing okay. My friend Alyssa got sick and she couldn't go to Scarth Place so I took a cab and went alone. I budgeted carefully and only spent $50. :D BETTER THEN USUAL! I got mostly little numerous things. I was in HMV for awhile because they had The O.C - SEASON 4, the only O.C there and it's the last one I need to buy. But I decided not to get it. :/ I got the Phoenix's new CD Wolfgang Amadeus! I also got sweet marble nail polish (I couldn't take a picture of it because of the bad lightening wouldn't catch the colors) it has black/purple/turquoise and it's really pretty! C: I also got new make-up brushes and two new key chains to put on my cell phone but since mine is disconnected right now I put it on my wallet, haha.






I still have my eye infection. :'( But I'm still reppin' in style.



Have you guys ever liked a band so much but then not too long after decided that there songs were annoying and weren't that great anymore? Like listening to it for the fourth time was sickening already? I can name a lot of bands that I've only listened to their songs once and never liked them again after. A couple of examples:


The Devil Wears Prada


Metro Station

/playradoplay!, bane etc.

I might just be tripping on Playradioplay! but the other bands I can't seem to stand anymore. Maybe I just don't like The Devil Wears Prada and Bane because I'm not really into the whole metal scene anymore. I still like some bands that can be classified in the main genre of metal like - The Holly Spring Disaster(<3 love this guys a lot), Comeback Kid, Misery Signals etc. - I still like most of those bands. Metro Station - SCREW THAT! I thought it was good when I first heard Kelsey. Now I'm just really annoyed. :/ Well, you can't change what your brain generates. /editing/ wait, this is embarrassing saying I even liked metro station... /editing/

FULL HOUSE ELEVATION TIME! So I watched episode 9 yesterday! :) A lot has changed! >.< Through last nights episode it was insane. It was seriously crazy and I really can't cover all of it. You can watch the show at mysoju.com but I've been watching them on YouTube for some reason. Okay here's how it is... *and if your too lazy skip the next paragraph and look at the shorter time line picture.*

Han Ji Eun comes home from Yoo Min Hyuk's birthday supper and she tells Lee Young Jae that he wants her to like her. He flips out. She explains just as friendship. He's awkward. After all that Ji Eun asks Young Jae to invite Min Hyuk over. He disagrees but the next day says he already invited him over. On the way to Ji Eun/Young Jae's house Min Hyuk finds one of Ji Eun's best friends -*insert [her] name here*- and she accidentally spills the secret about Ji Eun and Young Jae not really being married as it's a fake engagement on a settlement they did. Min Hyuk is confused for awhile. Young Jae attempts to make Min Hyuk jealous when he visits their house and makes a plan up for Ji Eun to pretend she has to throw up (I thought before it was to make it look like Min Hyuk disgusts her) and then he says he has to go and Ji Eun does it only to Young Jae yells in happiness she's pregnant (a lie). After he leaves Young Jae asks Ji Eun to go to dinner with her. She becomes excited (because we realized she already fell for him) and is supposed to meet him at the diner. Meantime, Young Jae really goes with Hye Won (Hye Won meets with Min Hyuk beforehand to tell him that she's not going to mop around anymore and she's going to forget about him) for drinks. Then we realize Hye Won doesn't want to be alone so is definitely manipulating Young Jae. Ji Eun waits until the diner closes but Young Jae still doesn't come. She finally goes home and waits up for him but he doesn't return until morning. They fight and both yell out, "They don't mean anything to each other anyway." Then during a thunderstorm Ji Eun leaves and she becomes stranded at a phone booth. Young Jae becomes very worried but Ji Eun doesn't want to call him. She calls Min Hyuk, who comes almost immediately. He takes her to his house and she ends up falling asleep. Min Hyuk phones Young Jae and tells him she's at his house. Young Jae worriedly and desperately says he's coming right away to pick her up but Min Hyuk says no she fell asleep and he'll return her later but Young Jae persists. Then Min Hyuk finally says, "He's going to do everything to take her away from him." Beforehand, while Young Jae was doing a photoshoot Min Hyuk stopped by and told him "not to underestimate me" - meaning he definitely wants Ji Eun. EPISODE ENDS! It was pretty crazy and I hope I can do a good recap whenever I blog next. It might be longer depending on when I blog. Hopefully, tomorrow - I'm thinking so. If you were too lazy to read all that here's the love triangle/time line of the moment:



In another news. You guys know the model/(glad to hear [ex] scene queen), Audrey Kitching? Well, lately I've been following her on twitter and reading a lot of her blogs on buzznet. It isn't lately actually it's been awhile I just keep forgetting about the topic for awhile. She joined buzznet around the time I did so I saw her stuff beforehand (didn't like her then) and I'm so surprised how much she's grown as a person. I looked through all of her photos and I'm pretty impressed in the 4 year time line. I think it's amazing. I really enjoy reading her blogs and such. :) Just thought I'd mention this some time.



I'm still wrapped around these cousy barbie blankets but I didn't get to watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona yesterday! It's not on the free movie channels anymore and I didn't want to buy it today...so I started to watch "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" and it's pretty hilarious so far. I'm going to finish it tonight and maybe finish Romeo and Juliet (Japanese version).

Any new Asian movies out I should know of?
Was [I Love You, Beth Cooper] any good - or too much of a teen flick?
Any links thats work for G@me - tell me!

P.S THE USED'S NEW SONG "BLOOD" IS OUT...but how come my computer won't let me listen to it? The Used is my all time favorite band (FACT) after The Beatles (just to be safe). Please can anyone give me links or maybe I can just YouTube it...


-Cinney.

July 19th

Mood: Getting there.
Listening to: A lot of Nirvana/MGMT/Passion Pit.
Reading: Blogs.
Watching: SHOWS: Full House.

/editing/ so it's technically the 20th but let's just say it's the 19th because it's like 45029385AM. /editing/

Hi! :) How is everyone doing? I went to my dad's today - man it's already 1 AM and I told myself I'd be going to bed at 9 when I was tired but I somehow passed that point. Guess what? I found my glasses!



Oh Gee my laptop/glasses are getting so worn out. I'm going to the eye doctor's soon so I can get a stronger prescription and new glasses. I can't seem to give up my laptop though...maybe I'll buy a new hard drive because I can't fit anything on it anymore. You know how hard it is to maintain 45Gs? All my music are splattered on random CDs and I usually just buy CDs/vinyls now. My mom's husband has a sweet record player. I've used it a couple times and it's beyond cool. :)

I'm getting pretty tired now. I think I'm going to watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona or Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 before I go to bed. It seems like a good deal! :) I'm wrapped in the sweetest blankets ever. They're really comfy and warm!



Today I'm meeting up with Alyssa and we're going to go down the Scarth and do some "window shopping" maybe get a cute outfit from dots. :D I've already planned to get some hair dye. OH MY GOSH - FORGOT TO TELL YOU GUYS! I finally settled on a hair color. I'm probably going to regret this but I'm going to a darker brown. I've had that platinum blonde for a good 6 months and if I wouldn't have dyed it a dark caramel color I probably would've kept it like that. But I've settled on this. Anyways, I'll have to find out when I'm getting that done. - Moving on...I was planning on buying some hair dye (a highlighter color) so I can dye some parts of my left-over platinum extensions. I'm feeling content with the color and I can take it out any time so it's a win-win. :) I also need to buy Coconut Records new "Davy" CD. Anyone who has it, you're extremely lucky and I'm extremely jealous!



I've been pretty M.I.A lately with everything and everyone. I got an eye infection from when I was in Waterton...a bug came in it (disgusting and it really hurt) and I didn't notice for awhile and I kept putting on eyeliner. Horrible mistake! I forgot my eye drops at my moms so I have to get some tomorrow + I'm still figuring out how to cover my eye. The infection isn't in my eye - underneath it. D= So it's going to be impossible to see out of it tomorrow haha.

My deviantART has recently been updated with the Waterton photos. I will make a July 16th PART II really soon so you can see them. If you don't want to wait go to my deviantART page. Or if your too lazy - settle on this:

It's really nothing, I can't show my face in photos until my eye clears up so this is the only thing you'll get from me.

I'm still watching Full House! I was getting right into it. I finally got up to episode 7 and I was going insane! I kept replaying and jumping around whispering (it was like 2 AM), "JI EUN CONFESSED! JI EUN CONFESSED!" I really needed to go to bed and promised myself I would when I finished that episode but I had to continue to watch! XP IT WAS TOO GOOD! Then I went to episode 8 and I knew the confession (Han Ji Eun confessed to Young Jae that she was falling in love with him) was too good to be true. Young Jae laughs and says she is getting better at jokes and then she times out and pretends it was a joke...but I'm sort of glad too. Young Jae better be the one to give the true confession. Oh and get this - now Min Hyuk likes Ji Eun! >___< Young Jae is becoming jealous! Now he knows how Ji Eun feels about him always seeing Hye Won! --Okay...this might be really confusing to everyone who doesn't watch Asian [Korean/Taiwanese/Japanese] dramas or didn't watch Full House but you can still get into it! Basically this is how it is:

*click the images because they don't fit on my blog, lmaoo.*

Is there any new Asian movies out?
Please suggest some! xD
I'm going through Japanese ones right now.
Anyone seen G@me? It's looks really sexy hahaha =P
BUT IT DOESN'T WORK ON MYSOJU.
Give me links!

-Cinney.

July 18th

Mood: Greasy.
Listening to: Paralyzed by The Used, Empty Sighs and Wine/Hills like White Elephants by Isles & Glaciers.
Reading: My blog.
Watching: SHOWS: Ghost Whisperer, Full House. MOVIES: Romeo and Juliet (Japanese version), Sugar and Spice.

This is just going to be a quick blog! I still need to carry on with July 16th - PART II. I'm thinking of maybe doing that later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Who knows?

So it's the weekend. Saturday, to be technical. I might go to the mall today and buy some new pumps. I really want high heels. :/ Maybe I won't though because all the nice ones from Aldo/Sterling are quite expensive. I'm supposed to go to the movies around 6 today too. I Love You, Beth Cooper! Is it any good? That's the movie my friends and I intended to watch. But I don't think I'm going to go because I also did make other plans to see it on Sunday night with different friends.

Sasktel Summer Invasion is coming up. I'm going to skip it this year - looks pretty crappy. Mobile, Default, Kardinal Offishall, Our Lady Peace etc. are playing. Looks pretty boring. D:

I really have nothing else to blog with. I think I might go back blonde...or just go darker. I'm thinking darker. o___o



----
Well, going to go! :D
Peace my homeskillletz!

Love,
Cinney.

July 16th - PART I.

Mood: Crappy.
Listening to: A Love to Kill OST, Empty Sighs and Wine by Isles & Glaciers, Infinity by Girl Next Door.
Reading: http://slumberdoll.deviantart.com
Watching: SHOWS: Canada's Next Top Model, America's Next Top Model, A Love to Kill, Full House, Atashinchi no Danshi. MOVIES: He Was Cool, I Like It Hot.

This blog is going to be extremely long because;
1) I haven't posted in ages.
2) So much pictures for my DeviantART posts.
3) I went on a trip and forgot about Blogger. XD
4) I've been watching so much dramas/movies it's been hard to keep up.
I'll break it up to two parts. I have no idea when I'll post the second one.

TOPIC 1: "Insert here"'s Next Top Model - So as everyone knows, I'm completely obsessed with Canada's Next Top Model. The third season just finished yesterday (today for people who watch it on MTV). Everyone will probably wait until tomorrow to read my blog because I was so excited to see it I decided to watch it on the Fashion Channel a day early. ;/ LMAO. So the last episode - came down to three contestants. What they usually do is eliminate one after a photoshoot in the first half hour. I was scared because it came down to - MEGHAN & NIKITA. Eventually (thankfully, gratefully) Nikita was eliminated.

So long, bakka.

So after that the two remaining contestants - Linsay and Meaghan got to do their first ever runway fashion show. I'm not going to lie Linsay's walk was pretty decent. I think when they reached episode 7 where Maryam was still in it - it was already decided who Canada's Next Top Model. A huge shock came while I was setting up Sims and the judges were finally announcing who won...Congratulations:

That's right. Meaghan won. It's kind of crazy - I was hoping she'd win but now that I think of it, doesn't really suit her...it made more sense for Lindsay to win. Man. :( They did this last season.

TOPIC 2: New York Photos/Photoshop - My sister let me borrow her photographs from her trip to Manhattan, New York. Amazing, eh? So technically I wasn't the mastermind photographer in it. Just the editor/pixel worker. BAHAHAHA. I need to stop saying "pixel worker." Here are some of my favorites.







To see full views/better quality images and more of the photos go: to my DeviantART = AristocracyART.

+ / Add on: I have my photoshop back and it's running good! It somehow fixed itself on my computer. I'm so lucky! :D Bahahaha.

TOPIC 3: Asian Dramas - When I look at my last blog posting I just started watching Full House and mentioned an interest in watching A Love To Kill. So basically here is what happened... I watched A Love To Kill. Finished it actually. It was probably one of the most stressful dramas I've ever watched - right beside What Happened In Bali. Don't the two look like twins?



Probably not... there is a huge difference in both. Ha Ji Won vs. Shin Min-Ah. Ha Ji Won definitely looks like she'd win in a fight. However, BI (Rain) vs. Jo In Sung...Jo In Sung would be taken down...but we both realized Jo In Sung isn't scared - just regretful! -.- Sorry, it brings me back to those precious memories in the Memories of Bali era. :/

I FINISHED A LOVE TO KILL, anywho. Crazy? Yes. I already read the whole 'A Love to Kill' wikipedia so the ending wasn't that great for me or maybe it was because I just wanted to finish it badly. Lmfao.

I am now watching "Atashinchi no Danshi" WHICH OH MY GOSH - isn't Korean! It's Japanese! 0___0 I know. It just ended like last Friday. I seen it and stuff but I wasn't quite interested in watching it until I accidentally viewed a fan video of Horikita Maki & __insert name here__guy who plays Sho__.



So then I found out there was some romance! :) I only watch Asian dramas with romance. Kind of my thing. x] There is only 11 episodes so it's easy to keep up with.



I'm going to be watching the 10th sometime tonight. I actually really suggest watching it. I find it really similar to Hana-Kimi minus Oguri Shun. + It has Seto Koji!



I find it hard to believe how easily he can change his character from this drama to Hiro in Koizora.

Normal Koji left - Koizora Koji right.

P.S Still watching Full House!

TOPIC 4: [Korean] Movies - I've been right up their watching movies like crazy. I might even decide (I'm debating currently) to watch Hello Schoolgirl. Just maybe... I watched "He Was Cool" and I was pretty impressed...



The protagonists were excellent actors and I thought they were both really cute. Girl = Cute/pretty/beautiful. Guy = hot/sexy/gorgeous. :] Then when I was searching around on YouTube some pretty awesome dramas to watch. I found one called "My 19 Year Old Sister In Law" sounded good and the lead girl in He Was Cool = Jung Da Bin. Upon finding out she died - killer herself from suicide. I just wanted to cry. I then found out on some internet YouTube videos that the percentages of Korean girls are rising upon suicide. That's really scary... She died young, anyways.

R.I.P Jung Da Bin! I'll still be watching your dramas and movies!


Another movie I watched was: I Like It Hot/Hellcats.



Well, the movie is insane. I'm still figuring out if Kim Min Hee plays Ah-Mi or Ahn So-Hee does. Thank you hancinema.net for informing me that Ahn So-Hee plays the teenager. :D That's good. But it didn't really matter because my focus out of the whole movie was the guy with the guitar/acoustic wonder/*I won't type him as this but the movie did* - wannabe rocker - Kim Heung-soo. :)



Any more Korean movies you suggest? I've already seen 100 Days with Mr. Arrogant (trust me I own it and I've had it before I had an Asian obsession). That's pretty much the big thing oversees or Asian fans. x]



---
That's it for now. PCE.
Hope I can post PART II soon.

Love&*
Cinney.
