Add me @ Plurk. Hehe. Plurk is this website where users can posts their current status or mood (like in Facebook), or just shoutouts (like in Friendster). It is kind of simple and there's not much left to do besides updating your status and profile but it can be better if you have more friends there who regularly update and whose plurks you can respond to so accept my invite and add me as a friend. I feel lonely, and Catherine (my friend who referred me to Plurk) is still my only friend there :(.

Gosh, I still can't download movies from the computer downstairs since that PC has no Internet and I don't want to fill the memory space of the new computer. And my movie watchlist is just increasing day by day XD.

Does anyone still have a VHS? I need one, haha. The nearby public library has a bookshelf full of great movies, and these films are unfortunately in the VHS format. Why did we have to throw our old VHS just because it isn't "trendy" anymore and we have to welcome the new? Why don't they sell the old stuff anymore even for just such a cheap price in electronics stores? By the next decade, they probably wouldn't sell DVDs anymore, or at least would sell them in limited amounts, and we would, with no other choice, have to buy Blu-Rays instead. It's so sad, it's just beyond our control. Do we really need to get rid of the old for the new, the latest and most innovative stuff? Because there really isn't much of a difference between VHS and DVD and between DVD and Blu-Ray. And pretty soon no matter what happens and no matter how new and innovative the products are, someone somewhere is still going to find a way to make pirated copies of original and costly movies and TV series. They should have figured that out by now.

My best friend and I finally went out together last Saturday since it's already our midterm break, intersession week or whatever. We just met last week but it has still been a long time since we hanged out together.

Anyway, we went to our friend's house because she invited Ana. And even though I wasn't personally invited, I still went with her XD. We ate ice cream cake and cheesecake (These kinds of stuff make me forget that I am trying so hard not to eat a lot) and watched a Russell Peters stand-up show. I must admit, Russell Peters is funny. Although I am sure most of you already know about him, for those who don't know him, Peters is a Canadian comedian of Indian heritage whose jokes are mostly racial and mostly referring to his heritage. He also makes fun of other races and cultures as he is totally capable of imitating stereotypical accents of others. I just can't believe he gets away with most of his jokes. Then again, most comedians get away with theirs no matter how offensive, discriminatory or insulting they are. But I don't think that the guy's ignorant. He is aware of the racial stereotypes and doesn't reinforce them at all. He just makes fun of the stereotypes.

But, you know what, I agree with my sister. I like comedians who talk more about random stuff and who don't always refer to their own or others' culture, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, etc. or to the things they hate in their own personal relationships for their jokes because those jokes can get old and repetitive sometimes, not to mention offensive to other people who belong to the groups that the comedians make fun of sometimes. Humor can be universal, just plainly about random stuff and rants about little things. I am not saying that all jokes should be clean but you can tell that comedians are great ones when they are capable of joking about other things besides their personal identity and their personal relationships.

Something random, there are exactly three little glow-in-the-dark stars up on the ceiling of my bedroom. I'm guessing they're from the one who used to stay in my room, definitely a kid. Haha, we also used to have glow-in-the-dark stickers in our rooms too when we were still kids. We had gotten those stickers from, I think, those cereal boxes; they're those free stuff from cereal boxes. Thinking of glow-in-the-dark stickers, for some reason I suddenly remember those slimy green stuff, each with a different toy inside, that comes in small plastic containers and that feels icky on your hands. And after thinking of those stuff, I am suddenly reminded of my childhood.

Basically, my childhood can be summed up to Happy Meal toys, chewy White Rabbit candies with edible plastic wrappers, my beloved puppet monkey, trying to learn Tagalog, stuffed toys instead of toy cars, jackstones, lying on the duyan, Disney films and cartoons, The Secret Garden, playing teks and always losing my teks to my neighbors, those butterfly accessories girls in my school used to wear which I secretly wanted to have too, cheesy fries, touch ball/dodge ball, Mulan, those creepy Barbie dolls of my sister scaring the shit out of me, playing bahay-bahayan by myself, enviously watching the girls play Chinese garter, being made fun of and teased by my other classmates, scribbling and sketching, pretending to have crushes on my female classmates, trashy melodramas and soap operas, sleepovers with my cousins, playing sungka upstairs in that little attic, feeling lonely during recess and after dismissal, Ghostfighter (Yuyu Hakusho), Akazukin Chacha and Sailormoon on TV, Candy Corner sweets, early access to Internet porn, feeling attracted to my male classmates, Sometimes, I just miss the sweet old days. Sometimes, I just miss the innocence and naivety that comes with being a child.

This post made much more sense in my head, haha, but I think you get the idea, that I suddenly reminisce and feel nostalgia after seeing those glow-in-the-dark stickers in my room.
