アリッサ’s Neighborhood

So I got sick. On Sunday night I felt my throat was scratching out of no where and then the next thing you know, my body was aching on Monday morning when I went to work. Good thing I had no work because the ride was down.

From then, Monday night was fever night, and Tuesday too. I kept having a fever. I'm so tired right now from the medicine. It does this weird shit to me because I have not been taking any medicine for years.

I'm behind in my class because I was so sick, I lost two days of work, which is like a good pay right there. SIGH. I HATE BEING SICK.

And I'm back with the korean music again. 2pm's album is just on repeat and Taeyang's Wedding Dress is so addicting. SIGHH

Rough rough, it's a rough around the loop.

I'm unmotivated, anxious, impatient, and just taking the little things for granted.

I'm disappointed in myself because I let my happy side down. I've been pretty cold lately towards a lot of people and hm..maybe I just need time away.

Besides that, I miss having my motorcycle around. It was my happy ride from the stress and the worries. I gotta pull myself together and work harder for my next one.

I swear, samsung is the most incompetent fucking company EVER.

It takes a WHOLE FUCKING 2 MONTHS JUST FOR A FUCKING NETBOOK TO BE SENT HOME AND THIS ISN'T THE SAME FUCKING NETBOOK I SEND IT, IT'S ANOTHER UNIT BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO INCOMPETENT TO FUCKING FIX THE LCD PROBLEM.

I'm seriously not in the mood to do my photography project. I need a day out for myself.

I've been having this decorating obsession with my room over the past 7-8 years. I constantly change the furniture in my room and all my close friends obviously realizes this every time they come over to visit. Over the years, I've collected way too many random things and well, it's time I really change my room around and clean it up.

Event though my furniture doesn't coordinate with each other, I think I can possibly pull of the CLEANEST re-design for my room.
List of things to clean:

1. The closet: I have a lot of laundry, a lot of old clothes that others can use, and just a lot of jeans in general. I need a new way to organize my closet, like really bad.

2. My half massive shelf: This shelf was made by my dad and it is great for storing junk which I have to throw away. I need an organizer for my documents and clean everything.

3. My computer desk: Even though it's not as bad as before, but it can use a minimalist design of just the basic tools. Also, I need to get an iPod dock!

4. Clean those wires! I really hate wires and there are just tons of the wires all over the place. There are lots of solutions out there, but I'm still searching for that "right" one.

5. I just have way too many pair of shoes, but I don't want to shove them in my closet. I'm proud of all the Vans that I have. I work hard for them.

And with this list, all it takes is the power of motivation. I'm a big organizer and even my computer shows how organized I am. I really dislike all the cluttered things in my room, but why have I never done anything about it? I stop finding time and I don't put enough effort. But I thought about it, I just can't function correctly if my room is always in a mess.

With the plans of buying an iMac, I think it'll be a great addition to a clean and revamp room.

Oh and maybe in the future, I would live in a studio like this, just for myself
Houston Hi-Tech in a Small Space

I've been eyeing the iMac for a while now. Ever since they lowered their prices, it doesn't look so bad for an all-in-one computer and well it would benefit me greatly with the all-in-one form factor and considering how my computer at the moment is 2 years old. Usually computers that are 2 years tend to be far outdated with the current technology and is considered slow. I swear, people gotta buy computers every year or 1.5 years in order to stay updated with the fastest goodies.

Well, the new generation of iMac is coming out soon and if it is at a good price, I will purchase it.

I'm not a fan of Apple because I think you can get more with your money else where. And a lot of those apple-fan boys/gals are fucking idiots which annoys the hell out of me when I'm looking for information on the forums. There are just too many of them trolling around the forums with their stupid remarks. But I'm sure there are the few rare geniuses out there.

But why an iMac? Well, I'm trying to uncluttered my desk and giving Snow Leopard a try. I don't intend to buy the iMac for the aesthetic, but I want to see how "simple" it is.

I already had a hard time understanding the way how some of my friend's mac books work. They're just very weird. But anyway, can't wait for the new iMac that will come out.

On a funny note, I stumble upon this site searching for a intermediate PC user's opinions about Macs. I really don't like those biased reviews how godly Macs are, they're flawed too, but I've never lived with one to experienced it's "holy-ness"

I think sometimes when you're nice, and you're just genuinely nice, people take it the wrong way. It makes me wonder, do I have to be an asshole? But there are plenty of assholes around and yet people still like them. It just doesn't make any damn sense to me.

I am a nice person to everyone, I might show a bit of a different side with my friends, but I care about their well being and if something comes down, they know I am right next to them.

Then there are folks who I'm just getting to know...ahh..I'm more reserved and I'm respectful, but please, don't think it as if I'm interested in you and think you're super special.

Ahh..hm...

I've noticed guys don't really notice the little things, they don't see the details or notice the small things. Girls see the small things and they over-think the signal. Why isn't there a balance?

Hm..I wonder if I should make synapblink.com a possible. I need to talk to Alyssa...

Hm..Yamapi fan? Yes, major fan? No, but I enjoy watching him hehehehe. Anyway I just finish Buzzer Beat, one of the summer sport drama! The last episode was released today and I pretty much caught up with everyone who was watching the drama since it came out during the summer.

Alright, I'll chop, dice, and spice the details.

Naoki portrayed by Yamapi: He's a basketball player who struggles with his insecurities. He plays well, but under pressure he screws up a lot. He's a good guy and he struggles with his dream.

- I swear, I'm getting tired of Yamapi's acting. Same face, same mouth muscles that he always have, and just pretty much SAME. Nobuta wo Produce was the ONLY drama where his acting was different and well he really pulled off that "I'm a weird kid in high school that is cute." He doesn't have any different facial expression. This character he portrayed had no excitement or energy what so ever. So the acting part was mediocre. If you expect something different from Code Blue, don't expect too much.

+ Despite the bad acting, Keiko and Yamapi got some great chemistry. Nothing awkward between them and they sure got some good fan service kissing scenes for all you shippers. The two of them seems very natural on screen and I think they probably dated or is dating at the moment, but who knowwwwwws. I think the fans will hate her, but seriously this girl is not ugly looking and they look cute together. I know, I'm already a Yamapi/Keiko shipper already...

Man oh man, Yamapi got some nice boobs, yes man boobs hehehehe. He's eye candy in several episodes because he's not wearing a shirt! Even though he's smaller than some of the guys, but his body looks better! I give him props for not looking like those skinny 20-years-old prepubescent Johnny boys. *Cough kame, jun cough*

Keiko portrayed by Kitagawa Keiko: She's a violinist and she's working part time at a bookstore with her best friend Mai, who happens to be her roommate. Her dream is to be part of an orchestra playing violin. It's rough in this music industry... She's headstrong, sassy, emotional (but not too much), and cute. Pretty much, she's the only female lead character that doesn't exist in other Japanese dramas. Usually I am very ANNOYED with female characters in Japanese drama because they're so stupid to the point where they can't tell their left and right foot apart. (Remember those running scenarios where they trip, fall, breathe heavily like they're dying when they only ran a few steps? Yeaah...) I like her character and Keiko portrayed her very well. She didn't talk with an overly high pitch voice and she wasn't over-acting or acting like Yamapi with just the same face expression. She actually got a brain since she just graduated from Meiji University this year. So all you hatuurrrs out there can shush!

So how did their love sparks? Well, it's because they're both struggling with their goals and insecurities. They provide that comfort and support for each other which sparks and ignite into love. It's that mutual understanding they have for one another. Well, it's a straight-forward romance anyone can understand. And I can't say enough, their chemistry on screen is just amazing! I've never seen Japanese kiss so well! No I am not exaggerating, they're not just shoving their pressed lips, they're locking lips and the kiss looks very genuine. It's very hard to make it look real. Even though Yamapi looks like he's having a hard time trying to figure out which part of the body of the girl that he should hold when he kiss, but the dialogue between the two is not cheezy.

"I'm drawn in by this soft sense of security. It feels so comfortable as I hold her here so tightly. Even the 1mm gap just disappear."

Other characters: Well, sadly the drama didn't show much of the other characters because they mainly focus on these two. The support cast is great, and yes there is even a bitch that add in the twist.

So, should you watch this drama? Yes if you want to see Yamapi in action showing his softer side to a girl with all the kissing and the hugging. Not only that, at least the girl can act, she's pretty, and she's not overly cute.

It's almost 3am and I should be sleeping, but I just had this "random" idea. Well okay, it's not random because I've done it many times and failed, but this time, I really wanna give it a try again...

Okay, should I open a photo-blog again? And I kind of have a name for it synapblink.com

And well..don't know if I'll do it on wordpress again. And I don't know what's the layout going to be. Hm..should I have my own site again..I wonder

Oh and I just bought the domke bag :)
