So today, I was at the bus stop waiting for the 22 to go down El Camino to my dad’s office.

Some Filipino woman was there, and she asked me if I could spare her a dollar for some bus fare. Except not very articulately of course. See, she asked for a dollar at first, and then a dollar seventy-five.

No, wait, the day pass is five dollars. Could I spare five dollars?

I’m a bad liar, and I did have more than five dollars on me in fact, so I gave her the five in the hopes that it would just shut her up.

But no, she had to go on AFTER thanking me so much, and you know it’s her birthday today? Oh, like that justifies you taking my money, because it’s your birthday, right? I don’t even know you. Birthdays are celebrated amongst people who, um, know each other. Normally. Just saying. And I bet it’s not even your birthday today. But that doesn’t even matter ANYWAY.

Then she was like, Are you Chinese? No. Vietnamese? No. What are you then? Korean. OOOOHHH YOU KNOW KOREANS ARE SO NICE AND I KNOW SOME REALLY NICE KOREAN PEOPLE. Uhh, okay. In my head I’m going WELL I KNOW SOME REALLY MEAN KOREAN PEOPLE TOO. OH AND I KNOW SOME NICE CHINESE PEOPLE AND SOME NICE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE. You’re not flattering me like you’re so obviously trying to. You’re just getting really annoying right now.

Did she stop there? No. She had to go on about her personal life, ask me about mine, do I go to school? Which school? Oh don’t get married before you finish school. Oh, so now you’re just giving me unsolicited advice. Obviously if YOU were the one who asked me for the money I should be the one giving you advice. Maybe.

Oh and she loves Korean chicken. Not the spicy kind, but some people like the spicy kind. Oh and the Korean bread at Honeyberry. What’s it called? Roti buns. What? ROA-TEE BUNS. Ooooh. How do you spell that? R-O-T-I? Yes.

Wow. SO ANNOYING. Seriously.

And then the bus finally came (she was trying to talk to me the whole time, believe it or not), and I got on, but she didn’t, so I asked her isn’t she getting on the bus?

No, she was waiting for a friend.

HOLD UP.

Did you say you’re waiting for a FRIEND? Well then that friend better be broke.

Because NORMAL PEOPLE ASK THEIR FRIENDS FOR MONEY BEFORE THEY ASK COMPLETE STRANGERS. And if you’re going to scam me of my money then AT LEAST DON’T BE SO OBVIOUS ABOUT IT.

It’s just five dollars so I know it shouldn’t really mean anything BUT I AM JUST REALLY REALLY ANNOYED RIGHT NOW. And that’s worth five dollars PLUS whatever the annoyed fee is.

Sorry this post was so long, guys. I hope, if you read it all the way through, I didn’t end up annoying you more than that woman annoyed me.

Me: (looking at janehw’s necklace) Who’s that from?

janehw: Kate Spade.

Me: No, I mean, who gave it to you?

janehw: Oh. Me.

Dad: Where’s the… where’s the snow globe?! …Oh, here it is. (moves it to a more visible spot)

Me: (thinking) Oh yeah, because the snow globe is SO integral to the operations of our business.

You. <3

Sorry I forgot to reply until now HEHHHHH…

I was pretty excited to be at Huntington Beach.

But then my sister asked if I could be a little more serious.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
If you haven’t seen this one yet, you probably should. It’s rated R for good reason, but I think this is one of the few films this year that probably genuinely lives up to its hype. Then again, I haven’t seen the original Swedish version. (Luckily, a customer at the restaurant was kind enough to lend me the original Swedish DVD trilogy :) )
Also: is anyone else surprised that Rooney Mara was also in The Social Network, as Mark Zuckerberg’s ex???

A Dangerous Method (2011)
I honestly don’t know what to make of this film. The musical directing is awesome, I can say for sure, but the story itself was too bland. Or maybe it wasn’t bland, but there was something missing and it ended up making the movie boring. Some great acting range from Keira Knightley, and I always love me some Fassy (That would be Michael Fassbender). :)
6/10

Paris, je t’aime (2006)
A good compilation movie, I think this would be great to watch over a span of several days should you find yourself short on time, since each story is only a couple of minutes long. I love love LOVED the story with the mimes, that was my favorite.
8/10

Never Let Me Go (2010)
If you know me well, you should know by now that a majority of the time I will watch a movie for a certain actor or actress. Well, in this case I had THREE reasons to watch this movie, them being: 1) Keira Knightley, of whom I will always be a fond fan; 2) Andrew Garfield, a cutie I picked up from The Social Network; and 3) Carey Mulligan, who is a really lucky girl in my opinion, but also very talented and beautiful in the not-conventional way (she reminds me of kind of a mix between Michelle Williams and Stockard Channing from her Grease days). And that dimple!
Anyways, onto the movie. Eye candy aside, the story was soooooo interesting. Sad, but really thought-provoking and twisted all at the same time. If you haven’t, you really should see this one.

White Chicks (2004)
The first time I watched this was in the theatre. Needless to say, I was way too young to get any of the raunchy jokes that were hidden between the lines. The second time I watched this was a week ago. And now I can say I get it. I appreciated it then, and I still appreciate it. I mean, I can see WHY it was critically panned, but I still appreciate the humor and how it made me laugh. I have to admit that they did try too hard sometimes.

The Descendants (2011)
I think this movie was supposed to be both funny and sad, but unfortunately a little “boring” got snuck in, too. Also: I’ve never been a George Clooney fan, and this movie was no Benjamin Button. (Meaning, I’m not normally a Brad Pitt fan but he managed to win me over in Benjamin Button because it was just that good. But ONLY for that movie.)

The Artist (2011)

Very yes. Berenice Bejo is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. And please please PLEASE don’t be intimidated by the fact that it’s a silent black&white film.
9/10

You thought I’d stopped doing these, eh?

Well, you were WRONG. hehehe.

So, here they are, in the order that I watched them (I may have missed a few because it’s been so long since I watched some of these)

————————————————————————

1. East of Eden (1955)
Honestly here, this is my first James Dean movie. I’ve always known he was a handsome man, but I had never seen him act before. Gosh, his scenes were so heartbreaking. I think he may be the master of painful smiles.
8/10

2. Like Crazy (2011)
Oh my gawd, eye candy galore. That aside, I felt a little uncomfortable throughout the whole movie—well, after the part where Anna decides to violate her student visa and stay in the States for the summer. Just knowing that that one little thing prevented her and Jacob from having (probably) the perfect relationship… but then again, young people who are in love do foolish things.
7/10

————————————————————————

3. Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)
Twisted shit. Seriously. Very scary, but not in the jump-out-at-you way. You will be psychologically mind-fucked by the end. Also—I had no idea Elizabeth Olsen was younger sister to Mary-Kate and Ashley. They look alike, yeah, but Elizabeth is much healthier and more beautiful-looking.
7/10

————————————————————————

4. New Year’s Eve (2011)
One of those harmless ensemble rom-coms, I guess. I think I prefer Valentine’s Day of the two, but they did a nice job making a big deal out of New Year’s Eve and romanticizing the whole ball drop in Times Square and midnight kiss.
5/10

————————————————————————

5. The Grudge (2004)
Okay, I am never watching a scary movie the weekend right before finals again. Stupid and scary but nonetheless scary.
3/10

————————————————————————

6. Young Adult (2011)
There’s something really sad about this movie, even though people might categorize it as a comedy. I think you’ll see what I mean if you ever watch it. Which you should, because it was really good.
8/10

————————————————————————

7. Drive (2011)
So I never really saw Ryan Gosling’s appeal until this movie. I didn’t like Crazy, Stupid, Love. and I didn’t like The Notebook. He doesn’t fit my description of “handsome,” but there’s something about him that’s just really cool. That aside, the directing and soundtrack is pretty awesome. I’m not a fan of slow motion but it’s done well in this one.
8/10

————————————————————————

8. The Skin I Live In (2011)
This one was pretty sick and twisted too, but I think Martha beats it in the scary department. Other people might beg to differ, but maybe the twistedness of Martha made watching more psychologically twisted movies easier. Or something like that.
8/10

————————————————————————

9. Blue Valentine (2010)
NEW FAVORITE MOVIE. I’m being utterly for serious here. “New Favorite Movie” is something that doesn’t happen very often, BY THE WAY. I know I’m a lenient movie critic but OH MY GOSH nothing has touched me more than this for years. Also I am officially in love with Ryan Gosling. (On a side note, I never knew he was in The Mickey Mouse Club.)
10/10

10. The Other Woman (2011)
I kind of only watched this for Natalie Portman, and it did disappoint. Boring.
