hey guys! i had an exciting weekend, well kind of. on friday, grace, julyan, and i went to squirrel hill to rent some movies. we ended up getting “emma” and “in the bedroom”. i told julyan that “in the bedroom” was supposed to be good. i had heard good reviews about it plus on the tape cover it said “nominated for 5 academy awards”. so we get the videos and have dinner at panera. mmm. frontega chicken is the best. we go to their apartment and watch emma. it was a cute movie, but the british accents made me sleepy so i took a short nap during the movie. i woke up at the most important point of the movie. hehe. after the movie, julyan and i went to these guys’ place to watch “in the bedroom”. wow that movie truly sucked. there was a good one hour where there was absolutely nothing going on. we all knew what was going to happen, but it didn’t happen until the end. how stupid. i have no idea how it got nominated for so many awards. craziness!

on saturday, i met with my marketing group to do our hw. we got it done in like 30 minutes. haha. it was so easy. i love our easy homeworks. after the hw, julyan and i went to her place to do some production homework. we then decided to go to waterfront. i told her that we were going to see “the ring” no matter what happens! so we ended up getting to waterfront at around 6 or so. we bought tickets for the 9:05 p.m. show because our friends wouldn’t be able to make the 7:35 p.m. show. tania told us that that the movie was sooo scary. she recommended us to bring our teddy bears. we were so scared. hehe. ooh i got this really cheap gap bag for $6.99. it was soo cheap. i used the bag to hold all my other bags. julyan and i walked through the rain for like 3 hours. we are troopers! heehee. we went back to the movie theater at around 8:30 or something. we met up with our friends and went to sit down. i was already scared when the first scene started. by the middle of the movie, i was hiding behind my coat. haha. my friend next to me was like “don’t hide, it’s not that scary!” whatever. he tried to hide behind my coat at one time of the movie! i didn’t let him. haha. anyway, i really liked “the ring”. everyone should go see it! we tried to put the pieces together after the movie ended, but we still don’t understand some parts of the movie. oh well! i want to watch the japanese version of this movie now. ok so if you guys haven’t noticed, this is going to be a really long blog. so if you want to hear about what happened after the movie, click more

ok so after the movie it was like 12 am and we were super hungry. so we decided to go to joe mama’s for dinner. by the time we got there, they were like “our kitchen is closed, but we are serving drinks”. we ended up at burger king. it’s been a long time since i’ve had bk chicken tenders. they were pretty good. anyway, while we were walking to joe mama’s these african-american males were walking next to us and making those “asian noises” if you guys know what i mean. they were being so rude and obnoxious. we ignored them. after we got our food at bk, guess who came in? yep the stupid boys. they harrassed our guy friends and then left finally. at bk, there was this middle-aged caucasian man. he started to chat it up with us. he asked julyan if she’s from korea. she said yes. then he attempted to impress her with his one line of korean. she was not impressed! then he asked if i was from korea. i said no. then he said, “china?” again i said no. then he’s like “taiwan?” then i said no i’m from new york. my parents are from taiwan though. then he asked me what “gong xi fa cai” means. i told him it means happy new year. not satisfied with my answer, the man asked me if it was the literal meaning or what. then i’m like, how about you ask mac, he’s from china! haha. i was so irritated by this time. the guys asked him if he would switch tables with us because he was sitting in the only booth of bk, and he’s like, “no”. what a weirdo. he tried to talk to us some more, but we didn’t respond. i don’t understand some people today. they are so ignorant and uneducated. i kind of feel bad for them. i’m glad i was raised in a pretty diverse place. ok that’s the end of my rant. <3
