I love Daniel Henney. Period. I really should stop watching dramas when I could be studying for a midterm.

about blogging

The other day, I was browsing around facebook, and I realized how many of my friends use blogs. I know, tons of people have them, so statistically, at least one of friends would have one. Well, it just so happened, some of them have xangas, and I realized I had an inactive account, not accessed since... say 2004. It's been a long time. In any case, I logged in and I just started to read some of the old entries. It surprised me how I thought about things, or the way I thought about things. Some things stay the same, I mean, I talked a lot about movies I saw (well not really in this blog), the everyday occurances of my life, etc. It was like a blast from the past. I also thought it was hilarious how I thought the world would stop turning if I didn't blog for one day, even if my entry for that day was me fangirling or just a picture I liked. I wonder if I will ever look back 3 years from now and just read these entries, and see how much I've changed. Or not changed. It's really interesting to see how petty some thing really were, looking back, and how some things never really changed at all.

>>>>> On another note, I think my classes are okaayyy. I mean, chem is a pain to begin with, but I already know I will need to put a lot more effort into doing things. I can't slack off as much as I used to. I need to get on top of things. No more distractions. Bio is a really good class. I just love listening to my professor talk. Then again, he's British. Nonetheless, I love my group in Bio labs, and I hang on to everything my professor says. Tuesdays and Thursdays are definitely my favorite days.

I'm in for a rough ride....

Ouch. The first day can always be pretty tough. I guess I'm just irritated that it didn't turn out as I had thought. I figured getting to school relatively early would get me a decent parking spot. Ehhh. Apparently the freshies don't understand how we do it here. Nonetheless, I discover my lab class is cancelled for the day! Excellent. I'm sleep deprived and I have nothing to do for the next 3 hours. Lovely. Still, it was really good to see the people I wanted to see, and catch up on things and what not. I should make note of this: never wear flats on a warm day. My feet were killing me. Not to mention the air conditioning in the bio class was well... not performing as I wanted. Le sigh. I don't even have chem yet and I feel like bio alone is intense.

old school vs new school

I can't really say that I've been watching anime very much since I was obsessed with Rurouni Kenshin in the 8th grade. Nonetheless, I still take some time out of my day to watch anime sometimes. And like I've previously said, I do feel a tad nostalgic and I've been watching old anime, the good old ones I like , for example: Akazukin Chacha, Gensomaden Saiyuki (season 1), Hunter X Hunter, Slam Dunk, Sailor Moon S, Trigun, Fushigi Yuugi. To be honest, the only "recent" anime I've seen is Death Note, Samurai Champloo and Powerpuff Girls Z (well, half of it). I don't really have much of an interest in Bleach, Naruto or Full Metal Alchemist or that Haruhi thing. A bit blah for me. In any case, I wonder if it's because those older animes are simply better, or maybe it's because I liked them when I was younger, therefore, I'm emotionally attached to them? hmm. Because I'm thinking, if its because I'm just attached to them, then maybe the experience would be different when I watched it the second time around. Not necessarily. I admit, my perception of the characters and the story is a tad different. For example, I really like Akazukin Chacha and every episode seems to follow a very distinct pattern. At the beginning, there's comedy in the school, and then eventually there's some monster who attacks, Chacha transforms in the Princess Holy-Up and defeats the monster. As a kid, that pattern was totally awesome. Now's it's a bit redundant after the 10th episode, and I normally skip the part when she defeats the monster. When I watched Slam Dunk for the first time, I admit, Sakuragi was annnoying. Seriously. I suppose it had to do with the fact I was a Rukawa fangirl. Watching it again, Sakuragi is more likeable, and Rukawa's not the only character I like. You know, maybe I like the older shows more also because those shows aren't so bloody commercialized. I am so bloody sick of seeing some Narutard, or seeing a Haruhi cosplayer, or someone who knows the dance from the show.

*sigh* I suppose I'm just biased. School starts tomorrow, so I can't help but feel some type of helplessness. Geez.
