Ok, my last post was harsh, I know. I don't know what triggered that post; probably just a major fear of me turning into one dumb woman if I don't spend time catching up with what's going on in this world.

Saw this video on my friend's FB after another friend mentioned the song last weekend. Love the poker-faced couple :p

.: HATER! :.

I hate people. I found out about that early enough in my life. I just can't stand a lot of people. If there's a choice to hang out with dogs or human, I'll choose dogs in a heartbeat. My being born as an only child may have something to do with it. An only child with no one around but stuffed animals and books and toys. I've been very lucky to have some amazing friends with good hearts, good sense of humor and have great points of view in life. And then, there are some 'interesting' acquaintances with their quirks that irritate me to the t:

1. Shallow airheads who knows nothing. This world is so interesting and dynamic. How come you're not interested in anything?!
2. Smarty-pants-know-it-all. Come on, you don't know everything. And if you do, why do you think I care? Just save your breath.
3. Bossy spoiled brats. Yo, clean up after your own mess. Or if you can afford it, pay someone to pick them up for you. sheesh. Oh and by the way, street food is good!
4. Jerks. (who are shallow airheads in disguised, really). You have no good qualities in you so you make fun of others. classic.
5. shallow-airheads-spoiled-brats. omg. seriously. they're like, the worst. *giggle* (and yes i was being sarcastic)

I feel that hanging out with these people is really wasting my energy, but sometimes you can't avoid them. Now I can easily ignore these people but I don't want to be one grumpy lady. Solution: suck it up. It's so hard not to be cranky around them but for the sake of being a social human being I should just deal with them. Smile. And drink as much sugary beverage as possible to calm my nerves. Because I can really explode and yell at them for being dumb. But I shouldn't. Right? Right. And be grateful that I still have amazing friends.

That's how I feel about my schooling right now. Tried so hard every semester to come up with amazing design with flawless typography and strong concept. I fall flat on my face every single semester. Came close to failing a class once only to be saved by one good-natured professor that I constantly disappoint every semester. Maybe it is time to admit that it was a good ride, lesson learned, and end this misery? Because frankly, I'm miserable. My brain is fried. My creative juice has been squeezed to the last drop, and now all that's left are the dry, withering skins. I don't like doubting myself and my confidence has disappeared since my 2nd semester. Who am I kidding? I've never been one of those design prodigy. What am I trying to prove? Those who said I should feel so lucky for being able to continue my education, just shut the hell up. How do you know how I feel on those weekends I spent locked up in my room doing projects? At this point I just do not care anymore. Just trying to stay afloat so I won't get deported for falling out of status way too many times.

.: ADD part 2 :.

Researching ADD and I stumbled upon these goodies. Not cool, modcloth and anthropologie. Not cool at all. Why do you have such awesome goodies? I want them all!!! *bawl*

.: ADD? :.

While researching for ADD/ADHD for my school project, I came across this article. Funny, it sort of describes me to a T. Am I in denial to say that ADD is slightly overrated? It's such a perfect excuse for lazy people like me. Oh, I'm simply unorganized, easily overwhelmed and an impulsive shopper because I have ADD. I don't like to socialize because I have ADD. I'm irresponsible and easily distracted because ... guess what, I have ADD! Seriously though, do I have ADD?

Okay, okay ... I admit I'm a total dork. I heart Glee. Not the storyline, but the songs! And yes, the auto-tune... but these guys can really sing and dance (watch the audition tapes)! I think the Asian dude (harry shum jr) from Step Up movies is impressive! I hope he'll get more parts in the future.

I keep listening to these two while staying up late doing my homework... :D
