Quite Twittering [Part I]

    Do you feel that sometimes, people only talk to you because they want something from you (sneakily); or they just want to see what is your mood then report it back to someone else, because that someone else doesn't have enough courage to confront you? 

    Well, I just felt that right now.

    [Edit]: I hate sneaky people.

And the Story Went Like This...

We arrived at JFK airport when dawn came. I opened my sleepy eyes and readied myself to carry the heavy baggages that I've brought. Quite heavy. But I didn't mind; my heart was going to burst with joy as I kept reminding myself silently, "Damn, I really am in New York." It was an amazing experience:

The bed head from a six-hour flight.

The fast-paced feel from both New Yorkers and the subway train. I must admit, I got scared of those underground carts sometimes.

The luxurious hotel of Hilton, where I laid my thought of "What will happen if I fall down?"

The ancient University of Columbia, where my eyes sparkled up when I saw those brick walls, and where Stephanie told me the truth about college food.

Times Square. That place can be smelly and dirty, and it may trigger your thought of "What a waste of energy!" but I must tell you, it was beautiful.

"Do you want to buy a ticket to the comedy show tonight?"

Small, small, tiny hot dog for $3. I know, it's New York.

Soho, oh that place filled with independent shopping stores.

Noho, so ironic (if you get the joke).

The first Pinkberry in my life. It was good actually.

Rockefeller Building. I actually felt safe for once on top of a high building.

Moma, where I met "Man in Yellow Pants." I miss that time, so much.

The whole scenery of New York from the tour bus. That was when I discovered my real hate for the cold weather.

Last but not least, beautiful people (!!!) and being surrounded by people whom I love.

This is a nice little come-back video. I'll be posting stories about NYC later. For now, enjoy the short film. Remember that happiness can be found anywhere, as long as you keep looking for it. Peace & Love.

The Crown is Waiting...

    ...And I'm off to New York City. 

Do I Really Want to Follow Trends?

    No one is always original and no one is always a follower. I know that. But I always wonder do I need to follow a certain trend to be cool? All the rage about new websites, new style for blogs, new hit song, etc. Sometimes, I do think that they are cool but are they cool anymore when everyone start to do the same thing (like that outdated scarf. Man, that bothers me so much)?

    Though, once in a while I do feel left one when I don't do certain things that people do and I feel that I stand out in a bad way. However, is it good?

    What's so cool about this issue is that it glows in the dark. Yes, literally. Look at the neon V!

    The words. Clever. The face expression. Brilliant. The colour. Marvelous.

Such Thing as a Happy Death?

    Sometimes, I say things like "It makes me wanna die happily." Really, cool things keep popping up in the worst situations and they make me want to have a happy death. It's kinda like a smile that makes you want to die for. The inside jokes in yearbook, the pictures of Sisley Menswear SS09, the Museum of Modern Art, Oren Lavie, Yearbook, friends, New York, shopping, pretty people and many other things. The nostalgic feel is kinda annoying but good. Those things make me wanna die happily.

Wired

    I know I talk about the past a lot, but I can't help it.

    So today, I decided to take out Wired, just for the fun of it. After skimming through all the main pages, I got to the part where people left their messages. Reading them, I was like, what great people they were and why did they have to leave. Also, I also thought about myself and how I don't really greet those people at school anymore, because of the making of the current book. I thought I really needed to get back to them and start my connections with those people again. Seriously, I miss them.
