valentine's day KDU Journal 6

♫ Listening to: Karma - Kokia
Last watched: Pandora Hearts episode 3

Yo. I deeply apologize for the lack of updates. Ain’t nothing you can do with a terrible line at the dorm. This makes me miss home even more :(

But the line's surprisingly good tonight. Yay!

I’ll just post the important updates this week.

Monday

Homework of the week: watch TV. Woot. That’s for Public Speaking class. And Mr. Mark was like, “So nice hor, in Mass Comm you guys get to watch TV as homework.”

I happily concur!

The deal is that we have to pick our favourite TV host and identify his/her weaknesses and strengths when he/she is hosting.

I picked Ellen Degeneres. And for days I’ve been watching her videos on Youtube (figures cause there’s no Astro in my dorm), looking out for the slightest flaw she has during hosting and the verdict? Zero. Zilch. Nada. Well I guess she’s too awesome a host to possess any MORTAL weakness which might tarnish her fantabulous career.

I’m gonna use that sentence as an excuse if Mr Mark asks me why I can’t spot her flaws. Bahahahaha.

Oh oh, and then there’s Mr Irwan from Intro to Mass Comm class, who told us to youtube “Susan Boyle” and watch her performance on Britains Got Talent. And holy crap, her voice is just… stunning.

She’s practically the talk of my college. Even when I’m in the cafeteria showing the video to my friend, I noticed another group of students sitting in front of me, they were watching Susan Boyle as well!

Watch the video!! Seriously. Or you’ll regret it. And don’t be fooled by her looks. Even though she has those bushy thick eye-brows and looks like a man. Ahem. And that video has more than 40 million views as we speak.

Wednesday

YES! The full version for Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~’s opening song is finally released. Karma, sung by Kokia. One of the best anime opening songs ever. Even my (new) roommate, Amina who is from Morocco, likes it and asked me to send her the song.

Don't ask me why Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier is there.

I'm addicted! I'm gonna replay it on my iTunes till the play count bursts.

Thursday (today)

Went out with my gang of classmates to GSC Gurney Plaza (!!!) to watch He’s Just Not That Into You. (See? I’m back to my normal self, now that I can mingle around normally just like any other ordinary human being)

Mild spoilers.

valentine's day
The show sucks. Please don’t watch it. I nearly died slept in the cinema. Kept wondering when was the freakin’ show gonna end.

Seriously. It’s another bimbotic show. I suppose Confessions of a Shopaholic is better. (My roommate got the DVD so I’m gonna watch it on my laptop soon.)

The thing that really irks me about the show is that they portray women as poor, helpless, bimbotic creatures who are desperately desperate to be in a relationship. Like what the fuck? That’s just so ridiculous, like, puh-leeeeeez.

The main character whose name eludes me, she’s the one with short and slightly curled hair, yeah, she makes me feel like bitch slapping her.

There was actually a scene in the show which made me say “Get a life!” out loud in the cinema. It was THAT bad.

But then again, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If you like bimbotic shows with silly drama and relationship problems, by all means, go for it. I won’t stop you :)

Any Manglish in this post? Hopefully not.
