Weekend
My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak, are you smart
But don't change you hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentine's
Each day is valentine's day
Everyone who has never seen the Talented Mr. Ripley should go out and get the DVD NOW! Anyways this sorta explains the song I have posted up. Mr. Ripley played by Matt Damon sings My Funny Valentine in the movie, and I think he does a great job, it sounds great. He sounds amateurish, but in a good way. K enough about the song. More about the movie.
So being that I worked for the most part of my Spring Break, I decided to just crash at home last weekend. The weekend before school officially started for me. I just moved so I have no cable and worst yet not internet connection, so what was there for me to do? It was definitely too cold to go out, so I stayed in bed and watched Talented Mr. Ripley for like the hundredth time. It is one of my all time favorite movies, everything about the movie is just amazing in my opinion. From the story itself, to the cast, to the beautiful italian scenes.
"If I could just go back, I'd rub everything out, beginning with myself."
On first hearing this voice-over at the beginning of Anthony Minghella's The Talented Mr. Ripley, you might think you're going to see a film about regret or guilt, or perhaps a refined kind of melancholy. But it's not long before you realize that for the speaker, Tom Ripley, such emotion — any emotion — is a performance. An ambitious sociopath, Ripley improvises his perpetual alienation against a stunning series of Italian backdrops, looking like the '50s, all splashed out and sun-blasted, in big-hearted technicolor (courtesy John Seale's ravishing cinematography): Venice, Rome, San Remo, Sicily. Unable to nail down a self, Tom instead plies his various talents, which he describes as "forging signatures, telling lies, imitating people."
The film makes clear at every possible point that the boy lacks any experience and comprehension of emotion, and yet, at the same time, it wants you to like him. It doesn't ask you to identify with Tom, he's too monstrous and, really, too frosty and removed for that. But the movie does want you to feel some vague empathy for him, because he's such a damaged and fascinating fellow.
And really, the project itself is intriguing, to enlist your feelings for the feeling-less Tom in the interest of narrative, to make you want to follow him even though he lacks — outright — all that conventional stuff that allows you to feel easy about your investment, allegiance or desire. It's not a novel project (perhaps you've struggled with your sympathies for Alec in Clockwork Orange or, with Clarice running interference, Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs), but it's not one that comes up very often. The problem is that The Talented Mr. Ripley hedges its bet, not quite trusting you to deal with the dilemma yourself.
Part child, part psycho, complete chameleon, Damon's Tom is at times rather ordinary in his Clark Kent glasses and mousy-brown hair, at others devastatingly beautiful, as when he takes a smoky jazz club stage to sing "My Funny Valentine" in a dead-on imitation of Chet Baker at his prettiest, and at still others, too damn creepy for words.
Mr. Ripley is a richly textured and enticingly nasty work about a man who takes matters into his own hands when he feels passed over by fortune, and it’s the best Alfred Hitchcock movie made since Alfred Hitchcock died.
A washroom attendant and a tickler of piano keys at other people’s social affairs, Tom Ripley (Damon) is locked out of the American Dream when we meet him. He’s smart enough, God knows (give him a second and he can think his way out of anything), but he lacks polish and any real standing. He can see and smell what he’s missing – he’s surrounded by it, he’s steeped in it – but he can’t quite get his hands on it. That is, not until he’s hired by a wealthy sailboat manufacturer to retrieve the man’s dropout son from Europe. When he catches up to Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law) in a seaside Italian village, he’s dazzled to find a satyr-like golden boy whom God has blessed with good looks, money, and an obscene sense of self-assurance. Dickie is Tom’s dream version of himself, a playboy in exile who spends his days carrying on with his American girlfriend, Marge (Paltrow), and his nights drinking in the jazz clubs of Naples and Rome.
Tom wheedles his way into Dickie’s trust – the insidious impression he performs of the elder Greenleaf subtly poisons the son against his father – and he soon moves into Dickie’s house, thinking that he’s found a friend, a home, and a life. But to Dickie he’s only a stopgap amusement, almost a pet. Dickie’s loyalties are much more aligned with Freddie Miles (Philip Seymour Hoffman), another expatriate whose droll sense of privilege causes him to treat Tom as a punching bag. (Hoffman, who’s been on a roll lately, brings a perceptible delight to playing this caustic shit.) Worse, Dickie is sick of Tom’s poverty and his weak-kneed attempts to lure Dickie into something more than friendship – he wants Tom to disappear back down the rat-hole he climbed out of.
His mission a failure, and spurned as a brother, a lover, and even as a friend, Tom murders Dickie in a spasm of humiliation, unrequited love, and greed. A grim farce ensues as he tries to convince Dickie’s acquaintances that Dickie has moved away even as he tries to take Dickie’s place in life by cashing his checks and occupying his hotel suites and wardrobe. Marge, Freddie, the Italian police, a textile heiress (Cate Blanchett), and a private detective all have to be dealt with, juggled, and manipulated. And Tom’s natural instincts lead him to a growing involvement with Peter Kingsley-Smith (Jack Davenport), another member of the ex-pat set. The effort involved in keeping his legal, sexual, and ethical identities in focus pushes Tom to the breaking point.
Mr. Ripley loses a little steam after Tom dispatches Dickie because Law is so well cast as the bronzed and fickle Dickie, and because the men’s relationship is so alive and true. But writer-director Anthony Minghella’s conception of Ripley keeps folding back layer after layer of the character, and Damon works wonders in the part. The story calls for him to be constantly mutating in appearance and demeanor, and these changes are seamlessly wrought – they all emanate from a single source and build on top of one another. Like Norman Bates, Tom Ripley is a serial killer for whom identity is a subterfuge, and Damon puts a different face on every one of his demons.
Nearly every decision Minghella made pays off – the creation of an important character who isn’t in Patricia Highsmith’s novel, the accent on the important role that sex plays in class envy, the straightforward handling of the gay-themed material. (The atmosphere has a heavy sexual charge although the movie has a minimum of sex, either hetero or homo.) The impish xylophone riff that plays when Tom tells his lies, the extras whose clothes and postures make them look like escapees from La Dolce Vita, the million little verbal stratagems by which Tom manipulates everyone around him – all work together to create a cunning little machine of a movie.
Minghella’s Tom Ripley is more morally convulsive than Highsmith’s sleek killer. The movie’s Tom – variously described as "a quick study," "a dark horse," and "a double agent" – starts out by killing his enemies but winds up killing his friends, and our rue-laden final view of him gives the picture its delectable sting. By the end of the movie the cost of his freedom is skyrocketing, and while he’d do things differently if he could, he just can’t resist paying the price. The Talented Mr. Ripley is a seductive hall of mirrors in which voluptuous desires have consequences that can only be guessed at.
Hmmm what else...oh yeah besides watching dvds, I also made Lasagne. Cooking seem theraputic for me. Only because I don't cook often, see when you tend to cook everyday it seems more like a chore, but if you cook one in awhile, it can be very theraputic. Two easy ways to calm myself is having a nice cup of coffee and cooking.

A Sea of Green
So today's St. Patty's Day, everyone is out in GREEN and having a jolly ol' time. I guess everyone wants a piece of the famous "luck of the Irish!", I know I could use some luck in my life right about now.
Anyways I see little girls outside with red hair flying and wearing cute little shamrock headbands and in green from head to toe. They look so cute.
T'was a day of solemn gladness
As the air lay soft as cream,
And the emerald grasses shimmered
In the springtime sun of dreams.
I stood amongst the flowers,
Stroked my hands along their stems,
As I looked deep into your eyes,
That sparkled like rare gems.
Your hair it billowed gently,
Red as fire amongst the green.
In a field of gorgeous flowers,
You're the greatest beauty I had seen.
I reach out just to hold you,
But you're gone before we touch.
Mirage of the green desert,
And insubstantial as such.
Only shamrocks,
The other beauty gone.
The Emerald Isle weeps without you,
As I have, since you've gone.
As my tears well up inside me,
And I fall to my knees,
I call your name out to the sun,
It lingers on the breeze.
And may St.Patrick save me
From my sorrows and my tears,
'Cos Lord knows how I'm going to cope
Without you all these years.
So now I drown my sorrows,
Back at O'Brien's Bar.
I reek of draught and ashtray,
And stumbled out 'neath the stars.
For they shall guide my way now,
For I fear I can't go on.
I take my seat on rivers bank,
And start to sing my song,
T'was a day of solemn gladness
As the air lay soft as cream,
And the emerald grasses shimmered
In the springtime sun of dreams.
I stood amongst the flowers,
Stroked my hands along their stems,
As I looked deep into your eyes,
That sparkled like rare gems.
Your hair it billowed gently,
Red as fire amongst the green.
In a field of gorgeous flowers,
You're the greatest beauty I had seen.
I reach out just to hold you,
But you're gone before we touch.
Mirage of the green desert,
And insubstantial as such.
"Only shamrocks,
The other beauty gone.
The Emerald Isle weeps without you,
As I have, since you've gone."

Spring Break
So yeah I'm on my Spring Break and well no there isn't any plans of going down to Cancun or anything of that sort. In fact...I'm working. I know I know work is so boring and I should be enjoying life especially knowing the fact that I'm 24 and recently single, but well I'm broke! See JPA onlye gives me cash every three months and it's nearing the end of the 3 month period so of course...I'm broke and of all the times to be broke...it's NOW during Spring Break! It's so unfair! Hahaha, anyways since my colleague whom I've never met mind you...coz we both work different shifts isn't available to work this week, coz she's off having fun in the sun I presume, my boss offered me her hours! So like duh...since I have nothing else better to do, why not. It's not majorly stressful anyways, and I like having at least something to do over the break, it beats hanging out in front of the tv! So yeah...everyone is out having fun and well I'm still stuck in NYU.
Well on to other things. I'm currently trying my best to vexel my own potrait in illustrator using the mesh tool for my drawing class, and it's turning out pretty good...THANK GOD! Hopefully I'll have something to show to Billy when school starts.
Oh and I'm currently reading The Bitch Posse by Martha O'Connor. I've only like read the first few chapters while on the Path train to NYU but so far I have to say it's been a very very very interesting read. I PROMISE to write a review on it after I've finished it. I still owe this blog a Prep review (which was awesome) and I'll try to get it done over the break and post something soon. Anyways I'll leave this entry with the CONSUMER PRODUCT INFORMATION from the book I'm reading! Hahaha cool is all I have to say.

Stuff
So it was my birthday last Friday...I've existed for 24 years now. I guess you can say that I'm liking my life so far. I mean I am in the school I've wanted to get into since before I turned 17, New York University, living in the city I've wanted to live in since I was a tiny little kid watching the Cosby Show, and well I have my family and friends. It's not much, but it's enough for right now.
I know I wrote that my Birthday Sucked on MSN and YM and all that, but in away I sorta felt like it did suck...mostly coz I was turning 24...and I'm beginning to think that hitting the mid-twenties mark is OLD! I don't really feel old...mostly coz everyone seems to say I don't look more than 15 here (no I'm serious! I think it's coz I'm just a little shorter than the average towering Americans, hehehe), but knowing the fact that I'm actually 24, that I was born in the early 80s and that my cousins (who are so much younger that I am) and I have started to have this huge between us when it comes to like pop culture and stuff is just scary!
So basically I was sort of not liking the fact it was my birthday and I was getting older...and well my birthday was pretty boring consdering I had to be at work. I do want to thank my friend Emylia for buying me a cake and having a sort of get together right before my actual birthday.

3. What do you believe is the meaning of life?
Seriously, I’m still trying to figure that one out. I do believe we should all live each moment to its’ fullest and collect precious lessons and memories along the way.

17. Who is your favorite artist?
Artist? It would help if you could be more specific, since there’s so many types of artists these days from painters, to performing arts people to anyone who’s even remotely creative are called artists these days. But since this isn’t specific to anything…I would have to say John Lennon.

I totally loved what Nutty Nadia wrote for this survey, that I’ll use it as my answer as well.

23. Hershey or nestle?
Hersheys!!
24. Night out or night in?
I’m a night in sort of person.
25. Single forever with a great family or no family and your soul mate?

Magazines
So I was walking around Borders the other day and decided I wanted to get a magazine. Hahaha yeah a magazine not a book. I get my books from Bobst Library now. Anyways there were about a dozen magazines that caught my eye. My usual Computer Arts and WebDesigner magazine (which are just overly price I think) and the normal weekly entertainment magazines like People and Star and all the other useless but very entertaining reads, oh and last but not least were my favorite fashion/lifestyle magazines like Vogue (which had the Audrey Hepburn like Natalie Portman, who looked absolutely gorgeous) InStyle, GQ, Jane, etc. But two magazines stood out among all the rest...the new Vanity Fair Special Edition with Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley in their birthday suits (I find it odd that Tom Ford is fully clothed when the other two girls are fully naked...but then again...it's Tom Ford) and DETAILS magazine with Patrick Dempsey on the cover. I was so torn between these two magazine it's embarrasing! LOL. Anyways I decided to get the Vanity Fair magazine after I decided that I can always read the Patrcik Dempsey article online on DETAILS Magazine's website. Which I have...Patrick Dempsey tu kan gile punye hot lah! Kire memang jejaka idaman. Dah lah handsome, dressing pun gile punye cun. Mane lah nak cari lelaki macam die hahahaha! Saje je nak tulis dalam bahasa melayu sbb nanti budak2 kat college paham susah! Hahaha

Tired
I'm so tired...I'm exhausted! Classes, assignments, relationships, life, feels so draining. I literally feel like fainting. Anyways a few updates. I got a job. So that's another thing to add to my already hectic life, but hey, the extra income will come in handy. Oh and we had a male model come by to pose for us in drawing class. I have to say, it is definitely something new to me, an experiance. Something I would never had a chance to experiance in Malaysia! LOL anyways I'm having alot of fun in that class. It's one of the classes I can just relax and not get all stressed out about assignments which I have to complete within a week or think of midterms and all that. I can just let go, and draw.
I am also currently reading Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, it's one of my ways to try to not just focus on school. Plus I haven't read a good book in awhile, at least a book that's not ITP related. I got it from the NYU Bobst Library. It's a pretty interesting read and in a way I sort of relate to the character Lee, the feeling of being an outsider, especially during my highschool years.
I will give the book a proper review once I've finished reading it, but since I'm only halfway through I'ld just like to share with you guys what the book is about:
Curtis Sittenfeld’s debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse of adolescent angst and ambition.
Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel
As Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of–and, ultimately, a participant in–their rituals and mores. As a scholarship student, she constantly feels like an outsider and is both drawn to and repelled by other loners. By the time she’s a senior, Lee has created a hard-won place for herself at Ault. But when her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her carefully crafted identity within the community is shattered.
Ultimately, Lee’s experiences–complicated relationships with teachers; intense friendships with other girls; an all-consuming preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush; conflicts with her parents, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant, coalesce into a singular portrait of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.

Superbowl Sunday
So today is the much anticipated Superbowl Sunday. So like many here I am in my room with the TV tuned in to ABC, watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks game. Currently the score is Steelers 14 and Seahawks 3. Anyways, I'm not feeling too good...I sort of have the flu, bad cough, stuffy nose, headache...I'm in pain. So basically watching grown men bash each other just to get one ball to the end of the field is theraputic. Gets my mind of my own pain. It beats trying to stare at coding and getting a worst headache (which I have been trying to do for the past 3 days, with this flu).
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about. This is what Superbowl Sunday is:
What: Super Bowl XL
When: Sunday, February 5, 2006; kickoff at 6:22 p.m. EST
Where: Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. The stadium, a first-time Super Bowl host, is home to the Detroit Lions and has a capacity of 65,000+; its playing surface is FieldTurf made of recalled Firestone tires
Who: The Seattle Seahawks (NFC) versus the Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC)
Who else: The Rolling Stones at halftime; Stevie Wonder, John Legend and Joss Stone at the pregame show (performing Wonder's hits); and New Orleans natives Aaron Neville and Dr. John with the national anthem
The second biggest eating day of the year (Thanksgiving is No. 1) but first in snack food consumption, Super Bowl Sunday is about more than football. It's a framework upon which to stitch together a tapestry of friends, food and fun that, with a bit of party planning, can appeal even to confirmed non-sports fans. And while it's not true that cities' sewage systems are at risk during halftime due to increased flushing or that Disneyland is all but deserted — both enduring myths — the location of choice for many Americans on Super Bowl Sunday is in front of the TV screen. In fact, Super Bowls dominate the list of all-time highest-rated telecasts, and sales of big-screen TVs increased 500% the week before the big day. Amazing eh? Part of the attraction is also the halftime and pre-game entertainment.
It's also one glorious day of the year when the entire world sits in front of their television sets and can’t wait to watch their television commercials!
Every other day we hate advertising. We grumble when the ads interrupt our favorite Desperate Housewives episode; or we quickly reach for the remote to zip pass the ads and get back to cutie Patrick Dempsey on Grey's Anatomy; or we use the time to rush to the bathroom or get a snack.
Super Bowl Sunday is the most magnificent day in all of advertising (as well as in all of sports.) It’s the day when every ad agency executive and brand manager pats themselves on the back and dreams of all the people being mesmerized by their brilliant creativity.Thus far, I have seen alot of really cool ads today. Interesting and entertaining, totally worth it, I'm actually more interested in the ads being shown than the game!
So yeah...here I am waiting for the game to end so I can watch Grey's Anatomy. The real reason my TV's tuned to ABC. But since I am following the game...I do hope the Steelers get the big ass throphy.

My Perfect Lover.
It looks like I've been tagged yet again by Am! And since I have two to do now I might as well get on with it!
The rules are as follow :-
1. The tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover.
2. Need to mention the sex of the target.
3. Tag 8 victims to join this game n leave a comment on their comments saying they've been tagged.
4. If tagged the 2nd time, there's no need to post again.
My 'perfect lover' target: Male species.
1. My perfect lover accepts me and loves me for who I am, and who I aspire to be - Anyone who can accept me and love me despite of my stubborness and all my other vices is definitely 'the one'
2. My perfect lover shares my beliefs and values – the fundamental to a strong relationship. (agrees with am on this one!)
3. My perfect lover is a bit dorky and maybe a bit of a nerd. I love the fact when a guy is a bit unsure of himself sometimes. It's adorable.
4. My perfect lover has to have the ability to make me laugh and smile when I don't feel like it. It's great to have someone there who gets me and can cheer me up even during the hardest of times.
5. My perfect lover has to have an incredible sense of humor. Someone I can just laugh with is always a turn on.
5. My perfect lover must be someone who can be my best friend – the one I can turn to, the one I can share everything with, and be myself with.
6. My perfect lover must be smart, wordly intelligent, charming, abit of a prep, a bit of a rock star, outrageous, shy,
7. My perfect lover treats me like I deserve to be treated. Of course...a girl needs to be respected.
8. My perfect lover must be someone I can watch my favorite tv show or movie with on the couch with a bowl of popcorn, or someone I can discuss the latest book I'm reading without getting bored.
Next on my list are: (Beautiful people, consider yourselves tagged!)
1. Yen
2. Yati
3. Nuri
4. Nutty
5. Zenty
6. PB

First Week of Classes
The first week of classes has definitely been fun. Yes fun. I guess being away from NYU and the forth floor for a month made me realize how much I miss ITP. It was so good to get back into classes and get my brain going again. Thinking and getting creative.
So far I'm loving all my classes...Big Games, Drawing, Flashback and Methods of Motion. All great and fun fun classes. Of course along with classes comes assignments. So yeah, it's only been a week and I've already gotten a ton of work to do.
1. A reading assignment for Big Games
2. A interactive flash animation for Flashback
3. An animation toy, e.i. flipbook
Well, I guess that's it for this week.

Crush
To someone I know...
You know everything that I'm afraid of
You do everything i wish i did
Everybody wants you, everybody loves you
I know i should tell you how i fell
I wish everyone would disappear
Every time time you call me, I'm too scared to be me
And I'm too shy to say
I got a crush on you
I hope you feel the way that i do
I get a rush
When I'm with you
I've got a crush on you
A crush on you
You know, I'm the one that you can talk to
And sometimes you tell me thing that i don't want to know
I just want to hold you
And you say exactly how you feel about her
And I wonder, could you ever think of me that way
I got a crush on you
I hope you feel the way that i do
I get a rush
When I'm with you
I've got a crush on you
A crush on you
I wish i could tell somebody
But there's no one to talk to, nobody knows
I've got a crush on you
A crush on you, I got a crush
You say everything that no one says
But i feel everything that you're afraid to feel
I will always want you, I will always love you
I've got a crush...

Writing gives one Power?
It's been three days since my last entry. I know I promised myself I'd try to write more this year, but it's sort of hard to find anything to write, when there's virtually nothing happening. Sad really. Anyways a new acquaintance (not sure if he's really a NEW acquaintance since I first met him last Nov, but never really talked to him. Well whatever.) told me yesterday that "if you write everyday of your life, you'll be the most powerful person in your time, for you have everything documented each day." I guess there is some truth to that, and because of that I will try to write everday. Probably not blog about it, but yeah probably keep a personal journal, 'cept I can never trust myself with hand written stuff. I'm in no way trying to be the "most powerful person in my time", coz I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I had so much power, I just want to have something to look at and remind me of my youth when I'm all old and grey!

Quest for Curiosity
I am currently fascinated by this 23 inch robot by Sony called Qrio, which stands for Quest for Curiosity. There are only 4 of them in existance right now, and all of them are in Beck's new video "Hell Yes". These little adorable humanoid, can do almost anything...walk, run, hop, play, dance, sing and even talk!!
I would love to own one, although I'm sure the market price would probably be the price of a new BMW. Basically Qrio is not being sold to the public...yet. They're just being used as Sony's corporate ambasador. Being shown all over Japan and just recently Europe. They put on little shows where they dance traditional geisha dance and even groove to hip hop. It's so cute! They can do everything even karate! Oh and did I mention they can actually recognize faces???? LOL. Anyways I love these little guys. Check out the video below, to see them dance in Beck's Hell Yes video!!!
Link to the Sony Qrio site, click below to learn more about these adorable little boys!

Toothache...a sign of wisdom!
I have a bad toothache...and no...I don't have a cavity or anything or that sort. In fact I happen to take very good care of my teeth. I use to have really bad teeth when I was younger...cavities left and right, hated brushing (gross...I know but hey I was 5!!!) but luckily they were my milk teeth...so by the time I got my adult teeth, I learned my leason. So I haven't had much trouble with them...except occasionally since I was 17 a few months before my 18th birthday.
By that time...one of my wisdom tooth decided it was time to rip apart my left gum and give me a few weeks of the worst toothache ever. Of course I didn't know that was the case...not until I went to the dentist (I thought I had a cavity). I was in such excruciating pain I forced myself to go see the dentist. Plus I was leaving for Athens, Georgia and everyone knows how expensive a vist to the dentist can be in the States. So I told the dentist my problem and well she poked around abit, and sat me down...looked me in the eye and told me..."your teeth are fine, you don't have a cavity. it's just that one of your wisdom tooth is growing. so you will have to bear with the pain, for a few days as the teeth is trying to pry it's way out from under your gums." Anyways cut a long story short, she told me it usually takes awhile for a wisdom tooth to fully grow (sometimes years) and that I will feel pain occasionally as it's slowly coming out. She gave me pain killers, made me sit on the dentist chair and polished my teeth and that's it.
So for over 5 years I would occasionally feel pain on the left side of my mouth. It would usually hurt like once in a few months. I knew it wasn't a cavity, but it hurt as hell. I would always look in the mirror and check how much it had grown, hoping and praying it'll be over. I could see the tooth getting bigger and my gums giving way. Anyways my left wisdom tooth doesn't hurt anymore, although there is a bit more of it still under the gums, but it's now my right!!!
I woke up this morning with the worst pain! Looked in the mirror and saw it...a little bit of my gums on the right side of my mouth is teared. I couldn't believe it. My parents who are much older have never had their wisdom tooth come out but I have two now! It's so unfair! It hurts so bad...my mouth feels bloated. I knew very well I couldn't do anything...so I took pain killers. Not that it's working much!
I remember my dentist saying I should go check whether I will need my wisdom to be pulled out, but the thought of that just scared me. So I haven't really gone to check. Instead I did some reading today on wisdom teeth and found out that one can have up to 4 wisdom tooth and that there are many complications with getting one. Tumors, gum disease, decaying of other teeth, etc. It scared the shit out of me, but getting it pulled out scares the shit out of me as well. To pull or not to pull that is the question. Right now I just want to take some pain killers and try to go to bed!!!

A New Year A New Beginning
So yeah...here's to another year full of new experiances. Do I have any resolutions for this year? Maybe I do maybe I don't...the thing with annoucing you have a resolution is that...you'll never follow through with it. So I think it's just best to remember to live life like you want to.
Oh yes, before I forget...this will now be my official blog add. NYU's given me my own server space and I might as well put it to good use. As most of you who's ever read my useless ramblings will know...I can never stay in one place when it comes to blogs, but that will end here...hopefully! I like the idea that I can always change the look of my blog/site but still keep the url add I have now.
The blog is still not perfect yet...and I still have alot of things I need to work on, so bear with it okay. Thanks peeps...oh and YooHoo HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
