HAPPY *BELATED* CHRISTMAS!

woah.. im really in due time for an update!

in the midst of a 12-day break and been doing utterly nothing but being online, eating (lots of eating!) and watching movies-- that is the life!  .. i miss that life. 

i feel like ive fallen off from my connection to the online world.. *yikes!*  ive fallen from doing a lot of my hobbies, actually.  but ive been completely sucked into work last few months.. event after event.. its been crazy!  but now that i have a second to breath.. i think its due time to catch up on a few life-rewarding things again.. that shall be my new year's resolution!

- update more often: i like to look back on past entries and remember what was happening at that time in life.. and recently.. i look back.. and theres not much because i didnt update.  =/  .. if i have time.. maybe once a day!??  and must not be lazy and post more pictures because i love looking back on pictures! 

- knitting: got a good amt of knitting supplies for christmas.. im gonna knit!  ive been pretty good w/the sewing thing.. been sewing things for gifts every once in awhile but i havent tried knitting. 

- watch more movies!  i havent had time lately because of work and getting home to walk/feed noki.. but must watch more movies!!  this includes chinese movies.  some movies i saw so far over break:

I AM LEGEND: snuck in to watch this w/phillip (didnt sneak in entirely!.. we saw NATIONAL TREASURE first and then it was right there on the way out.. timing was perfect.. never snuck into a movie before.. it was like 12 midnight.. so why the hell not!?)  we were both like 'ahh.. so-so' w/wanting to watch it.. were curious about it but didnt have heavy feelings either way about watching it.  overall.. it was definitely entertaining!.. and playing w/the thought of being the only person left on earth (or even a city) is pretty cool.. and mygod.. i love zombie movies.. so this did it for me!  quite a few times i was left jumping out of my seat and covering my eyes and minor screaming.  i'm not a will smith fan.. he's been annoying me last few years but that didnt get in the way-- im not that big of a hater!  .. well sometimes.  ;)

NATIONAL TREASURE: if youre looking for a treasure hunty type of movie.. it was good and lived up to that.  id seen the first 2 and phil was in the mood for a treasure hunt so there went that. 

MR BROOKS: if you love murder movies or dark humor.. watch it!!  mr brooks and his sidekick definitely had me laughing.. they'd murder someone w/as much thought as someone turning on their computer.  the thought of murder is definitely fucked up but if you dont think about it like that.. good movie!

STARDUST: if you want an enchanting story.. watch it!!  i think the fact that claire dane's character was a star and she'd glow depending on her mood was really magical!  i thought clair danes did a fabulous job being a star.

CHINESE ODYSSEY (w/tony and faye wong): i own this one and think it's soo cute and hilariously funny so decided to watch it again.. as usual.. still cracks me up!  watch it if you havent.. its sooooo funny!! 

INFERNAL AFFAIRS III: only seen these like 10million times but love it!  so decided to bring them back w/me to philly to watch during break.  INFERNAL AFFAIRS I didnt work in our dvd player here cus its a vcd and didnt want to watch something so great on my computer.. and was in the mood for some tony.. so popped in INFERNAL AFFAIRS III and thankgoodness.. it worked!  yay to that! 

CONFESSION OF PAIN (w/tony and takeshi): ordered it, arrived perfectly during my long break.. some reviews werent that great for it.. but it entertained me.  having tony and takeshi in it didnt hurt either!  they're supposidly gonna do a U.S. remake of this one.. w/leonardo.. wonder why its always leonardo re-doing these HK movies-- infernal affairs/departed.. i like leonardo anyway.. so its cool. 

saw some other lame-o movies which i dont think i paid enough attention to completely title as bad or horrible.  (HARRY POTTER was one of them and i never was a Potter fan but now im certain im not.. Lan was sooo excited about it-- usually a person's excitment would feed onto me a bit.. but didnt happen this time)

now waiting for my next batch of HK/Japanese movies to arrive.. if it arrives today.. thatd be awesome!!  if not.. that completely blows because ill have to watch them back in NY while im working and not being a complete bumb where i can blow away my time in front of the computer and the tv. 

k.. pictures soon!
