I know

That the whole Mystery Girl thing may be annoying people at this point... but who really reads this blog?

Anywho, I'm just.... tired of not having a conversation with her.

Speaking of which, I had my first phone call with someone I shall call Onee-san. She's an old friend and great to hear her voice and we might see each other next week.

Anywho, I really wished that the Mystery Girl and I could talk.. I mean I don't even know if she's busy doing anything that'll ...ugh! Am I making excuses for not calling or texting her?

I mean, I might leave soon... I really want to get our relationship to what it was before... I want it to be great before I leave for college. I just want to talk to her again, like we used to.

I really miss her... -Sigh-

Well

Yeah....................................

Just Life

Ya know. It's like.... I try to help people understand to chill in life... but I can't seem to do that right now. Too much pressure. I just want to be able to go to school and have an apartment with my friends. I want to do well in those classes and have a great year.

I want to have things be great. Can I be happy for long? The only time I'm happy and it stays is when I'm with family.

Right when I come back to reality, whenever something good happens to me, something bad just comes to interrupt it. But life isn't stable and that sucks.

But there are great things sprinkled throughout my life that keep me happy. Like Scott Pilgrim. Man those books help me deal with summer...

I've been feeling kind of distant from the Mystery Girl though. I really don't want to... I want us to return to what we once were with each other. I want to be a part of her life again.

Let's hope I can make that happen somehow.

I just hope everything turns out well. Wish me luck!

Those darned texts...

...I love them.

Hah. No. I don't like texting. Yep.. I think calling a person is much faster at getting the message across. But if I'm texting the Mystery Girl, it's... great! Why? I HAVE NO IDEA. I just know that every time I hear that thing go off my heart skips a beat wondering if it's her. And when I find out that it is... then I just have the biggest smile ever. (Unless it is serious sounding...)

I like texting her. There's a closeness to it... or at least I think there is. I just like texting her... I like knowing how her day went, is going, will go, what she plans to do, what she's thinking or listening to any random thought that comes into her head.

That silly girl... heh.

Deleted from my myspace/ written right after my sister hit me in the face (she does this often and doesn't hurt, can't say the same for my feelings though) after I said it's not my problem that she doesn't go out and stuff:

//My sister says I don't have a life. Well guess what? She doesn't!

I'm not the one who sits on my bed every hour of everyday.

She says I'm on the computer all the time, you wanna know why?
- I go on Facebook to talk to all my friends that I want to check up on and talk to multiple people at the same time, something I can't do on a phone or texting.
- I blog. Yeah. Anime/manga AND movies. I do this because I love both mediums of entertainment and I want to know what's up in the industries I want to be in.
- I watch anime. I'm sorry but do we have an anime channel? No. I love anime, I'm an otaku. Get over it.
- I write. Hello, I make my own comics/stories. I need the computer.
- I draw. I need the tablet for my artwork. >:O

How do I have a life?
- I actually hang out with friends.
- I go to people's houses whenever I can.
- I go to the mall/River all the flippin' time if I can.

In Fullerton:
- I pretty much do the same but even more often. (whenever I'm not studying)
- Go on roadtrips whenever we can or have money.

So yeah. I may be a geek/nerd/otaku but I actually have (social) LIFE.

My Outstanding Love For INCEPTION


So if you've been in contact with me for the past year then you probably heard me talking about two movies; James Cameron's Avatar and Christopher Nolan's Inception. While I loved Avatar, I do hold Inception at a higher place in my heart. And there are reasons for this as well as reasons as to why I'm calling this Best Film of 2010.

First above all else... It's Chris Nolan. Really, his name on anything makes it automatically better just by association. Though I still have yet to see "Following," "Insomnia" and "The Prestige," "Memento" and "The Dark Knight" are two of my favorite movies of all time. I also am one of the few who really, really dug "Batman Begins." The man can do no wrong and usually raises the bar with every film. I mean can you imagine how amazing Batman 3 will be now? Not to mention he's godfathering Superman so I'm curious to see how that'll go as well.

Second has to be the flippin' amazing cast. Leo DiCaprio at the lead, Joseph Gordon-Levitt right behind him and of course... Ellen Paige. Oh Ellen Paige. Aside from that we have Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe. If that's not enough we also have Marion Cotillard as a mysterious character connected to Leo's past. Everyone else in the backround like, Tom Hardy and that scientist dude from "Avatar," also just make this a great cast. We can only assume that some kind of nomination is gonna go to one of these people.

Third is the story. I mean really. I'm sure people are just tired of remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels and adaptations. This is an original story created by Chris Nolan. Not only that, with Nolan's trackrecord, it'll most likely be very well written and psychological to some extent. What's great about the film, from what I heard, is that it's not too complicated. Average film goers will probably leave saying it was a good film and had great action. The rest of us, film buffs and people who love writing, will think about the movie long after the credits role.

Synopsis: Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible–inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.

So, the fourth reason the movie rocks my socks off is the concept of the whole thing. Dreams, the architecture of the mind and the extraction of thoughts. This is a contemporary sci-fi film but in essence is a heist film. A little bit of "The Matrix" with some James Bond mixed in. Cobb steals thoughts for his clients but this time his team must INPLANT a single thought. Cobb will of course not only be what the story relies on but the emotional backbone of the film. Why is he doing this? What has he lost? What does he fear? This could be Nolan's most emotional film yet.

Fifth reason isn't really a big deal but... Hans Zimmer. People who know me personally know that my mp3 player not only holds regular music but also film scores. I just love them. And I love no other composer than Hans Zimmer. His work on "The Lion King," Pirates 2 & 3, "The Last Samurai," "Sherlock Holmes" and both Nolan Batman films pretty much put him at that position. I am hoping for nothing more than one of the best scores of the year from him.

The film wasn't shot in IMAX but the cinematography looks so effin' gorgeous. The framing, the shots, lighting, scope and heck, even quality. It all looks amazing. The production design also looks incredible. I mean there's this one scene involving a zero-gravity fight. Nolan had a rotating set built for that scene. Meaning that well... Nolan tries to get as much on camera as possible. As usual, Nolan isn't an effects director. He doesn't rely on CGI most of the time. For him, story, characters and tone are what matter most. Everything else is second. But the CGI we do see looks awesome and not distracting at all.

The bottom line is that I have been obsessed with this film ever since I saw that first teaser trailer way back in August '09. This is the movie I've been waiting for as much as, if not more than, "Avatar." Christopher Nolan's Inception will be the movie of the summer and the movie we've been waiting for in this time of remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels, adaptations and generally bad writing. The dream is real. July 16th, your mind is the scene of the crime.

Seeing An Old Friend

It has been since last Halloween... That was the last time I saw the Moon. It was... wow. She hasn't lost a bit of her beauty... Sad thing... She now has a ponytail. Why is this sad you ask? Those who know me know I love girls with ponytails.

She.. man I acted like such an IDIOT around her but that's because I just wanted to make people laugh. haha I'm glad she did though. I just hope I didn't get annoying... Ugh... It's weird...

With the Moon I'm just a dork and completely insane but with Mystery Girl I just... I think about how I come off and what I'm like. Ahaha, I worry if I look cool or not!

The Moon... I wish I can spend more time with her. I hope we do get to.

I Wish

I wish that I were the person she'd first go to if she just wanted to talk to someone out of boredom... that she'd come to me to share her happiness or pain... to just talk. It really is my favorite thing in the world to do... To talk to her.

I just wish...

Surprise

Well, I went to the movies today and saw The Last Airbender, which is an atrocity by the way. Anywho, I was with my friends and then I saw her. Mystery Girl had not only gone to the midnight premiere but was in the same exact theater I was in! 13 really is my lucky number isn't it? haha

She said last night that she needed her energy for "tomorrow" (which is today). I told her it was for the midnight showing and she said she didn't want to go to it. She said it was a surprise.. Well going to the midnight showing was the surprise. A great surprise.

Seeing her again... oh, she was just so cute. Wished we could've exchanged words or sat together rather than just wave "Hi" to each other. Her smile...

What a great surprise. My only regret was to not give her a goodnight hug after the movie but I had to go with my friends. -Sigh-... My mistake.
