movies, then episodes, then more movies.

yo i hate it when people make a second movie to a series and they don't even make the characters look the same. they're doing it all the time now like kung fu panda 2. i guess this one would be funny sequel (it has jack black!!) but the one movie i'm really pissed about is hoodwinked 2.

it's probably really obvious if this is true, but hoodwinked 2 probably had different animators than the original movie. and i hear this one is about fat kids who got kidnapped by somebody or something like that. i never really cared, but it was just the fact that the animation sucks that got me kinda pissed.

but it's not just the sequels that piss me off, it's the nickelodeon episodes that come after the movies. dude i bet i can name at least 5 movies that had episodes made afterwards:

1) lilo and stitch
2) madagascar
3) ...and
4) many
5) more!!

im sorry it's just that i cant think of any at the moment. -_____-

the episodes are okay even though the animations can be somewhat different. im just glad they provide more entertainment after the movie like the penguins of madagascar. they're pretty funny. and movies that come after or during the episodes like spongebob (what i bet is a classic favorite of people of all ages) are cool too.

and we all know that movies that are made based on books suck all the time in comparison because they take away too much info cuz they have a cut time. i wish they didn't, cuz then we would be able to see the book cover to cover in real time animation and REAL PEOPLE! but the movies do kind of "mess up" the information a little.

remember the percy jackson and the olympians "lightning thief" movie? yep i heard clarisse isn't even in it and the cabins are all messed up. one of the major reasons i never went to the theatre to watch the movie. i just stayed at home like some loser who never gets out of the house and i'm just watching trailers of the movie on youtube.

by the way i was wondering if people can sue you for blogging about their trademarked stuff. O_O

FREE PC SCAN FOR YO-- /shot

YES! i got adobe flash player and now i can go watch youtube and play games!! well actually normally i dont play games at all on my computer but just to celebrate i played games almost all day yesterday (not counting school).

and this week is special because it's SPRING BREAK!! :D

but u know what sucks? that's right; spring break ended up in the same week as Passover Week. which means i, being a pastor's kid, might not be able to go hang out with my friends and will instead stay at home doing nothing for passover. i honestly dont understand why people think Passover should be a really important week for children. it's mainly for circumcised adults.

so now im just totally bummed out and not excited about spring break anymore :( there was no problem like this in southern VA since over there, we didn't have spring break on the same week as Passover.

my friend had the same crisis. she emailed me and asked what she should do. go to her bffls house and hang out or stay at home being the good Christian her parents want her to be? my logic: theres no point in forcing kids to celebrate passover if they dont feel like celebrating. its like forcing people to be Christian. i think people should celebrate holidays if they truly think it's special. if they dont think it's special to them, why celebrate it u know?

and thats exactly what i told my friend. i havent gotten a reply yet which i think means she hasn't read it yet, and for Internet security purposes, i will not copy and paste my reply to my friend.

that's right; i care about Internet security now.

u know those fake antivirus scans that hijack innocent websites? yeah those things that appear for no reason in the pop up box and say Warning! your computer is hacked and we will do a free scan and blah blah blah. im telling u, it's SUCH a pain (and i admit it, a mild shock) to see those spoofs of My Computer templates. apparently it's becoming such a common problem for innocent people who just wanna read manga every once in a while. >:P

http://www.tdaxp.com/archive/2009/02/06/malware-on-reuters-website.html  has a more accurate description of this problem than i do.

i am seriously annoyed with these "free pc virus scans." blech.

adobe flash player...

now i have just totally rebooted my computer to get rid of a really stupid virus that kept getting worse as time passed. i had to use a operating system disk to do it and all my files were copied onto a different hard drive labeled, "to be downloaded later." my dad thinks that this virus came because some really smart person hacked our computer randomly.

but i know the real reason why.

every day i would read manga on a manga scanlation website and every once in a while a small virus would pop in. I, being a mild computer geek, was perfectly capable of deleting those viruses as soon as they invaded but the virus that invaded this time was a really powerful virus that multiplied every hour.

reason why it got so bad? i was at school and my brother caused the virus while he was sick at home reading manga. (he doesnt know how to get rid of viruses)

so now on my new computer, i cant do anything except go online to websites that do not require adobe flash player to operate. i cant play games on the websites though since they need adobe flash player to load. i cannot go on youtube since it needs adobe flash player to play the videos. and the best thing i can do on this computer is read manga online, which i have decided i will never do again since it started this mess.

its really hard to accept i will never read manga online ever again while i have no malware protector.

normally, i didnt HAVE a malware protector, since getting rid of viruses werent that hard, but now that i find something like this, ive decided i should get one since it wouldnt waste my time cuz it gets rid of viruses itself.

oh, and because of this virus, i had to write an email asking my science teacher if i could turn in a really important lab report 2 days late. fortunately, the mood swinging teacher didnt yell at me or anything since i told her beforehand. she was all, "the ONLY reason im letting u turn this in late is because you told me over the email and didnt tell me a sob story as soon as you entered class."

the due date was last tuesday, i turned it in last thursday. so whoopee.

*sniff* no adobe flash player...

quartet + 1 bass

so today was our last quintet practicing day for the volunteer tea party, and I AM SO EXCITED!!

we get to play like 5 pieces for parent volunteers during a tea party, and at first i was disappointed that it was only for parent VOLUNTEERS but it turns out my mom was invited via email so i guess im gonna have to perform in front of her too.

its on monday and i was so hoping that we would miss one of our core classes doing this thing for 30 minutes but turns out we're just gonna miss our orchestra period. D:<

and we're only gonna perform and we dont get any tea. :(( and tea parties usually come with cakes and tarts and if they serve them right in front of our faces i swear im gonna just get up, snatch a cake, and stuff myself.

my mom was all pumped up for this and she was all, "YES! i finally get to see you in one of these!!" i would bet five fingers that shes gonna take a video of this and send it to my grandma. which is ironic, because my grandma thought i should just quit instruments at the high school level. reason being, there are no high school orchestras in South Korea.

but its okay since there are such things as high school orchestras in America. :)

its okay sam i got over the "my finger doesnt grow when i play violin" thing. ive decided i wont care about how short my fingers are anymore...unless of course they happen to be the reason why i cant reach the next 2-4 double stop. TT_TT

...but im not gonna audition for AYPO this year cuz i feel like im gonna end up in the lowest orchestra (CO)since im a AYPO noob...

so hot. so sexy. so...incredible! /shot

yo so my cousin is a really good singer and dancer. hes only 2 years older than i am he used to live in New Jersey but he moved to Korea and got tied in first place in his school competition for breakdancing in Seoul International School.

and since a bunch of people took videos of him dancing and singing, Superstar K (which is like a talent show for Koreans who want to become a star) recruited him and asked him to sign up over the phone into the show.

I WISH I COULD SING AND DANCE!! Dx

he really loves the arts like me but he's so smart, he and his family thinks it's kind of a waste to see all that smartness go to waste so he's not really sure what kind of college he should go to at the moment. but all i know is that he's coming to America for college and every spring break since the dorms are closed over vacations he's coming over to our house!

well to tell u the truth he doesn't really have anywhere else to go since we're his only relatives in America.

since he used to live in NJ we've met his family before lots of times and his family is so AWESOME. his mom (my aunt) is like almost the complete tougher version of my mom since she takes care of two sons. she is SO funny in a Korean way and them together could make me laugh for like 30 minutes straight.

the younger son, who's a year older than my brother, is like the funniest actor i've ever seen. he and my brother are like so tight and one time when our families were walking down the streets of Korea he and my brother were pulling up their jersey shorts so it looked like they were wearing underwear. it totally cracked me up and they got stared at by high school girls who probably thought they were mentally retarded.

the older cousin used to be my favorite big guy who would always play with me since birth and let me listen to his ipod. then when he was going through puberty he was so distant and boring and watching Korean game shows all by himself in his laptop.

unfortunately, the last time he visited our house before going to Korea i was at a winter retreat. my mom says i missed out on a lot because apparently he was really really fun with the guys and my little sister that time.

i admire him so much and my aunt and my mom both say we're like brother and sister since we looked so alike when we were young and we share the same interests now. to tell u the truth, im looking forward to seeing him again in 2 years!

but poor me, if we ever move to Korea i won't be able to go to Seoul International School for people who've recently arrived from America (most of them are twinkies) cuz scholarship is expensive...
