Let’s Fall In (Insert Trademark Here)

Hallo everyone, sorry I did not get this post out earlier. Last week became very busy and I won’t sacrifice job searching time to blog. It was taken up because of hanging out with friends, but also “snags” occurred that made me have to scramble for my Valentine’s Day gift. Let’s just say my gift was not up to par with my girlfriend’s gift for me (OMG YOUR GF GAVE YOU SOMETHING? I KNO RITE!). But what I would like to discuss is Valentine’s Day a little and the things around it.

One of my friend’s celebrates Valentine’s Day the day after to avoid the upped prices and the crowds and the excessively materialistic and sappy fake holiday that it is. (Guy)

Another one of my friend’s thinks that you MUST celebrate it on Valentine’s Day on the day because you need to make sure that a woman knows she is wanted and taken care of on that day because others will be doing it. (Girl)

I celebrated mine a little bit a week before and a lot a bit a week after. It was fun with lots of little crazy things going on and enjoying each other's company.

Yeah… This “holiday” is weird. I am not opposed to Valentine’s Day (it’s the holiday of LOVE!) but everything else around it can get out of hand. The opinions on the holiday are as sporadic and contradictory as…. Well people’s opinions on love. Have you ever asked someone what their opinion on love is? Anyway, here’s the rankings of the Valentine’s Day movies that came out on rotten tomatoes.

First to be released: Dear John 28%

Second to be released: Valentine’s Day 18%

Hasn’t Been released: Remember Me ____

If a Love movie doesn’t come out in February either before or ON Valentine’s Day, then it is most likely avoiding competition with other movies. I read the synopsis for Remember Me, and I could have written the plot. Dear John I read the synopsis as well and it had some twists and a plot that was worth 28%. Valentine’s Day I watched and halfway through the movie started laughing at it's stupidity (BAD romance comedy). I predict Remember Me to get an ….. 8%. If its better, hurray.

Stand Under My Better Umbrella!

Happy V-day. I don't like celebrating love on this day (what are other days for) but I thought I might include this nice video:

Kina Grannis is a really small time but great singer. She does a better Disturbia then Rihanna (well, slowing down Rihanna's songs and giving them to a better singer make them better songs, HERE listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb86KRJtnWE)

Hey Everyone here's a look at what ive been doing and what I want to be doing on a weekday:

Just to make things a little more interesting I googled a few things on my schedule and yeah... Click on it to view




Recently I've been having to deal with a multitude of things large and small. One of my aunt's just passed away from Cervical Cancer in the Philippines (she moved back there when she was told how many months she had to live). My Dad has been going through a lot of up and downs recently. Things have been very annoying and sporadic dealing with the family apartment. I finalized everything with SJSU about graduation verification. They had been withholding it as I needed to transfer a GE class over. I honestly never want to deal with SJSU again, even for grad school.

On the bright side I'll probably be putting up 2 other blog posts this week.

One will be spurred on by the stupid movie "Valentine's Day". Now, I love romantic comedies, but that movie was terrible. Watch Love Actually again.

Another one will be based on funny/weird/dumb guy rating systems for girls. "Shorty you a dime" comes to mind....

It was an interesting day to go to Costco. Not only were there tons of Asian people there for Lunar New Year, there was also a bunch of people buying plants and flowers and candy for V-day. Heh, Costco, Flowers in Bulk! I did one good deed today (made up for my bad driving...) as I put back together a toy that a little girl broke by dropping it. It was this weird cube with Dora sticking her head out from inside it. Her mom was very happy. I guess it balanced out as I forgot to get cash today to pay for my haircut and my barber said to just pay next time. Big tip next time.
