I just read something from USA Today this morning. Do you know what city in America has the highest percentage of educated people? Well…it’s Seattle. They said our city has the highest percentage of adults age 25 and older with a bachelor’s degree or more. I have no doubt why the city contains lots of geniuses. Let see…We got Microsoft and also many dot com companies here. I think folks from those companies are probably half of the population. And if you can’t guess, the second and third places belong to San Francisco and Raleigh.
Be aware! We are living in the brainiest city in the world!

I'm just human
- I put on make up using a car window from the outside and didn’t realize that there was somebody in the car and he was looking at me all the time.
- I tried to open somebody else’s room thinking it was my room.
- I licked my finger thinking it was sauce but it was liquid soup.
- I found myself on the roof of my apartment and no idea how did I get there.
- I wore a t-shirt inside out, went out with my family, and didn’t know until somebody told me when we were in a department store.
- I told my friend “I don’t like this name, I think it’s dull” and she said that’s her dad’s name.
- I used detergent brushed my teeth thinking it was powder toothpaste.
- I fell asleep on the bus and missed my bus stop.
- I spill sauce all over my top whenever I eat spaghetti.
- I suddenly forgot how to write “Thirty” when pressured by a long line of people.
- I walked into a house all the way through the kitchen, opened a refrigerator, sipped water, and just realized that it wasn’t my house!
I’m just human...and human makes mistakes.

“Kill Bill” almost Killed Me
Yesterday I was really sick because of a horrible cold. So I decided to stay home rather than go out and spread the virus all over the city. I took this chance to have a nice little rest. So I forced myself to make me some pancakes to go with the movie I just got, Kill Bill.
Ah…I now had a stack of yummy pancake. I inserted the DVD and started watching Kill Bill with pancake in my mouth. I had no idea what the movie is about before but I saw the cover and I thought it’s going to be fun.
As I watched it, I started to get a weird feeling about it. In fact, I’m not a critical person. I could take almost anything. But…this movie seemed a little too much for me to handle especially while I was eating.
The whole movie shows all kind of violent actions. Everything you want to see is here, cutting off heads, pulling out an eye, biting a tongue till death, blood shed (this movie loves blood shed scenes!).It’s extremely nasty. I didn’t finish both movie and the pancakes. I got even sicker after that.
There’s nothing wrong if you like this kind of movie but my suggestion would be “Don’t watch it while you are eating” because Kill Bill will definitely kill your appetite.

A hundred times with the Matrix
“What the heck was that about?!?” That was my first reaction when I set my foot out of the theater about two or three years ago. I admit that I was blown away by all those fancy effects. I love it but hey, at least I should be able to know who that guy was, Neo. Ok, he’s got a move but what was he doing? It’s one of those things that you like but you can’t really talk about it.
I loved this movie too much to give up finding out what is a message the directors are trying to tell us. I watched it again and again and again. I guess more than 30 times up till now. Every time I watched it, I picked up some new ideas they tried to present in the movie. It’s flat but I felt like every time I watched it from different perspectives.
I just watched The Matrix Revolution (III) a couple days ago. It didn’t disappoint me but it did confuse me. I felt like I know you’re trying to say something but I just can’t get it. Ahgggg…
I talked to my cousin about this yesterday. I told her I don’t get it. She told me “You see, the statement the movie wants to make is that there’s no pure good or pure bad. There’s always good and bad in this world. Good cannot exist without bad and bad cannot exist without good. Things always have two different sides. We have to learn and live with it.”
Oh, I see. This is very true and the movie really does present that idea. And this is not only thing the movie says. I and my cousin found many Buddhism philosophies hidden everywhere in the movie. I still don’t fully understand the movie but I’d like to find out. Even though it really is confusing but like a guy from the production team of the movie said when he first got the script.
“I don’t know what is it about but I know I got something really cool here.”

I'm just curious
Whoa…Perhaps I don’t have to say this but the interface of our blogger has been changed. I think it’s pretty cute, cuter at least (smells like Google). This new look made me forgot my password. I think I have too many passwords. Usually I don’t forget them. I can remember almost all of them but sometimes I got them mix up. I wonder why shouldn’t I have only a few passwords? Well…I think it’s dangerous to use the same password with everything. That’s why I’m suffering with all the passwords I have.
I wonder when people create a password, what they usually use? Dog’s name, teacher’s name, boyfriend, girlfriend, favorite place? I believe birthday is very out of date. I’m sorry if you’re using it.

Happy Birthday to me
People have fun, people go out, and people do things on birthday. I’m totally opposite this year. I intended to do NOTHING. This year I allowed myself not to think, not to worry, not to…everything. Just me, movies, pizza, Sprite, light beer, and Dannon La Crème strawberry mousse.
It’s pathetic but it’s the best I could do for myself. Now that I had satisfied my physical needs, I still needed something to fulfill my birthday, a wish from someone.
There was no sign of any living things since 8.00 in the morning when I got a call from my cousin. Fifteen hours later, I got a little freaky because my birthday was going to end soon. So I called my family in Thailand. I talked to my dad. First, he said “Happy Birthday” and he told me that he had a good dream about me. I’m happy with the fact that it has never changed, May 7, 1981 until today May 7, 2004. It’s still important to him as it always is.
I just hanged up the phone with him. I think I can go to bed now.

Love Actually & me
I always wanted to see this movie since I had seen a preview on TV. Today, I finally watched it and I like it. Not only because Hugh Grant is in the movie but also I like that they picked the airport as a place to represent the main idea of the movie, “Love is actually all around.”
It reminded me the moment I left Thailand. Even though it was the second time, I still didn’t get used to it. In fact, it was a lot sadder than the first time. It is because I had a feeling that this time’s going to be a lot longer and I didn’t know when I’m coming back.
I had never cried in public like that before. The moment I walked through that door, I couldn’t see my family anymore. As I was waiting in the line, I asked myself “Why I have to do this?” “Why can’t I just stay home and feel safe?” “Am I torturing myself?”
All those questions popped in my head which led to a big crying. It was pretty embarrassing especially when I couldn’t stop. I was next and still crying. Finally, I stood in front of the immigration, the officer asked me a question. The same question I had been asking myself since I released my hands from my dad and mom. “What is the purpose of going to the U.S.?”
Besides studying, I couldn’t find any reason to persuade myself to believe that I’m actually leaving the place that I love, the place that I belong. I did leave anyway. I couldn’t wait to find out the reason. I just hoped that I might find it on my way or someday soon.
However, this has nothing to do with the movie. It just reminded me something and it just felt great.

Don't try to do something when you're sleepy
3am in the morning, I was messing around with my computer. I couldn’t actually get anything done. I was sleepy but I knew if I go to bed now, I won’t be able to sleep. Something will suddenly wake me up which I don’t understand why it always happens.
I had a good intention to finish up my homework but my eyes kept telling me that they want to take a rest. No! I didn’t listen to my eyes. I stood up and decided to go to visit my friend a little bit, a refrigerator. I opened it. My hand was reaching for a bottle of coke but my brain was thinking about milk. I grasped something. I saw it and I knew that it was a bottle of coke.
I don’t know what was going on in my brain. I shook it real hard as if I was holding a bottle of milk. I still didn’t know what am I doing. I opened it and Boom! My brain just woke up again. I found coke all over my body….
I went to bed. My eyes laughed at me. “I told you…to go to bed.”
