History Repeats Itself.

A couple of years ago, my sister took Math 11 in UP.

She got a 4.

 

Fast-forward today.

I took Math 11 in UP.

I got a 4 too.

 

 

Yes, people. I suck in Math. Big time. I know that. My brain knows that pero shit. KAILANGAN KO ITONG MA-TRES. :|

 

So.. tell me. Mahirap ba ang removals? :

Fixations.
written by kaktus on April 12, 2009 at 10:38 AM



1. AVATAR. Move over Ippo, I have a new fixation. :D
2. A Dangerous Fortune by Ken Follett.
3. The computer's busted (not that I'm devastated. Kaasar lang na ngayon pa nangyari.)

 

 

NAKAKAADIK ANG AVATAR OK?


:D

 

In case you're concerned, my parents are not hellishly mad about my kwatro. They're not even... that mad. O_o Only now my father calls me a cockroach/kwatro in the same affectionate way he calls my brother a slumdog. (nope, we're not bothered. my father is just crazy in a cool way like that.)

AVATAR
written by kaktus on April 13, 2009 at 07:41 PM

I don't ask a lot when it comes to what I watch

It just need to have a lot of action, character development, tons of adventure and a bit of romance.

OH, AND ALSO.. COMPLETE! (Patience was never my best suit remember?)

(So.. no harem anime, pure violence kind of shit, lukewarm romantic shenanigans for me, and animations that goes on forever and ever that I think the animator will never ever even bother to finish it and just keel over. Which is like, 95% of the anime/cartoons lately.)

 

Fine, I have a stringent set of criteria.

 

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LONG I'VE IGNORED AVATAR ON TV!!!!

My brother asked me to buy a dvd and I've ignored it for like 2 weeks because I'm not the least bit interested in a little kid flying in a kite-like contraption but then I got bored and finally gave it a shot.


And what a shot it was.

 

I AM HOOKED.

 

I finished the 2 seasons in like, a day and half and now, I have the eyebags the size of Africa. Hoot hoot.

 

Baka curious ka e.

I'm more in favor of the Zuko x Mai pairing.

Iroh is the badass grandpa/uncle!

Aang is cute. And in the Avatar state, he's made of pure awesome.

Katara is the wo(man)!

Suki and Sokka are cute together. :D

And to Toph, where do I even begin?

Lastly, I think Zuko is hot.  (At hindi ako nagiisa dito. *nudges a blockmate wahahahahaha*)

Grades at iba pang kalandian

At least I'm consistent when I tell people that I am horrible in math.

Ang daming Zuko-Katara fans. But I'm good with the Aang-Katara ship. I just wished Aang is kinda older. Hahahahaha ok whatever. It's still 11/10 on my scale.

I guess I'm ok with the Z-K too, it's just that it's never gonna happen so why hope on the impossible right? Lawlz. But yeah, they'd make an awesome pair under different circumstances. Fire-Water, Sun-Moon. The works! Yeah? PERO WALA E. Avatar Aang is the man! Besides, he has Mai anyway. So there. I have nothing against the official pairings. (Unfortunately, that's not always the case with the hardcore fans. haha)


There will be a movie adaptation of this sheer awesome BUT THE CASTING IS MADE OF EPIC FAIL. An Indian Zuko? ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME? Caucasian Katara and Sokka? BITCH, PLEASE. O_O;; I hope this is not official. I will have an Azula-like tantrum sige kayo.

 

GRABE ANG INIT.

I made an entry about Avatar (what else?) in my Multiply account that I failed to copy here (blame laziness haha)


Anyway, here's a little something to make your heart melt.

 

Jin for the win! :3

Rain
written by kaktus on April 22, 2009 at 05:58 PM

The weather is so depressing and it is depressing for a reason.

You know what?

I LOVE IT.

I'm not a gloomy person, it's just that.. the idea of sleep, warm blankets,  hot chocolate and a good book sounds so alluring on days like these.

I have this habit of reading my past entries when the mood strikes me.

I noticed that for the past 4 months, most of my entries are really brief... and majority are some kind of a rave or a rant to what I have watched that specific moment.

So that means, the novelty of my Avatar fixation will wear off sooner or later huh? ;_;

 

p.s.

Can you imagine Dev Patel as a hot bald teenager? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Giving In.
written by kaktus on April 24, 2009 at 06:13 PM

I know I've been full of rants about the questionable cast of the movie adaptation of Avatar lately. You know what? I don't care anymore, I realized that it is called magic in movies for a reason and even though I've never watched any of M. Night Shyamalan movies, many people are saying he's a brilliant director.

Who knows, maybe he'll be able to pull it off. Awesomely.

 

And because I saw the manipulated photos of the cast in Avatar and it was actually good. The Caucasian boy who'll play Sokka actually fits the bill pretty damn well. (fine I'll say it. He is hot.)

 

There you go. You'll hear my rants no moarz.

 

Went to Trinoma today. I HAS NEW UMBRELLAZ. ♥

And would you look at that!

1. My cooking philosophy is summarized in 3 words. Just Add Water. I can just imagine myself living off Nissin Cup noodles in the future while wasting my life away in front of the boob tube. Pathetic, ain't it? Of course I'm kidding! -_- But really, my cooking skeelz is almost non-existent. I would be seriously bummed if I can't bake either but I can so I'm still happy with my life. I think. Haha.

Since we got a bag of pecans, among other things, as pasalubong from some relatives who got back from the States, I decided to give Turtle Bars a go.

And would you look at that! It's not quite the failure occasional bakers like myself envisioned it would be. It was actually... delicious.

 

2. I have finished each and every episode of Avatar. I've liked, watched, the Final Battle twice before I realized that I have skipped an episode from book 3. Then I decided to watch random episodes again, first from our DVD but it only had books 2 and 3 so I decided to watch the book 1 episodes on the internet.

And would you look at that! I've also skipped an episode from book 1. Just when I thought that I've watched every episode (at least twice, 5 times for the Final Battle), there will be that one (or two) episode that managed to stay under the radar. Funny. Annoyingly funny.

P.S. The episode was pure gold. I was really baffled before as to who Jeong Jeong was and what he did, I assumed I've encountered him before but I was too tired to remember. (I tend to hold my dvd marathons at the most ungodly of hours) Well, I'm damn sure this is the first time I've watched that episode.

 

The avatar has taken over my life. I must study my ass off soon for my exam. Meh.
