GONG HEI FAT CHOY!:



so another new year.. and if 2008 wasnt starting off well enough for some people (like the sister- ann).. then hopefully the new year of the rat will bring more luck!

things im looking fwd to this year:

1.  going to HK to visit phillip.. cant wait!  to buy more movies to add to my collection and eat!!!  i cannot wait!!  gonna go back to china too.. yaaay!!  and i have a digicam now!  cant believe i didnt have one last time.. i guess it was before everyone had a digicam. 

2.  things at work.. i got into a semi-funk few days/weeks ago.. like.. ugh.. im bored w/whats going on.. im over it.. but i think im back in the groove now.  (im sure its all due to me being me: i get bored pretty easily and theres sooo much to do in life and i feel like theres not enough time!  i wanna work in another country for awhile.. i still have a lot to see!.. and i love my job.. but to sit still and commit a couple of years to it.. that takes a lot.. from me, at least.  i could never get a tatoo.. to much committment!)

3.  turning 3 - 0.  ive been dreading it for the last few years.. since i turned 25, actually.  but im over it now.. i think it'll be okay!  =) 

4.  battle of red-cliff coming out!  after much anticipation.. i finally saw the warlords the other night.  should watch it if you like old school chinese/asian back-in-the-day war epic type movies.  has andy, jet li and takeshi in it.. good for the guys.. great cast of men for the ladies.. old school chinese movie to take you back to another time (i love stuff like that!)  i was feeling takeshi's character the most.. probably due to his innocence, his loyalty to his brothers and his goal to do what was right or at least thought of as 'right'.  andy and jet li did their thing as well.. but i felt more for takeshi's character and the way he played the character.. i just felt it was a more complex character than the other two who definitely already had their sides and opinions.  plus.. cmon'.. its takeshi!  overall.. as the reviews mention.. this was a major thing for the asian film industry.. for a movie of this calibre.  battle of red cliff.. goes further back in time.. bigger list of awesome actors (takeshi and tony again.. and i love vicky zhao!).. cant wait!! 




5.  spring.  my favorite season.. just makes me happy to walk outside-- w/a goofy smile on my face 24/7  like i just left the mental institution.  love spring!! 

6.  i will be better in cantonese than i was because instead of knowing the stuff that ive just picked up from here and there for the past 29 years.. i would of finished the first level of formal education. 

i think it shall be a good year!!  and i wish its a good year for everyone else too!!!  while reading an article on the train today.. its said that 50% of your emotions/how u deal w/things are genetics, 10% is just life or the situation (something u cant control) and the other 40%.. well thats up to you and your outlook.. not too bad!  =)  .. i hope i didnt butcher that info and am misleading anyone! 

.. i had a dream the other night.. woke up terrified.. no.. its not from watching the scary asian movies ive been watching.. but something else.. maybe explain in another entry. 

oh.. if u havent.. watch 'death note, part 1 and 2': its this jpns movie w/deathgods and all.. ive seen it several times awhile ago and finally purchased it.. really like it!.. but thats me.
