yuletide


question: what the heck is "yule"?


Christmas is coming quickquickquick!!! ^_^ hoorah! accept NOT because i haven't even STARTED my christmas shopping yet! baaahhhhh... yesyes i know that's not the meaning of Christmas but i *still* wanna get the shopping done. come friday 'twill be MAD shopping. there is no better word to describe what i'll be like on friday. =P ... i am constantly brain storming for gift ideas... people must think i'm going crazy as i walk down the halls of the school making a mental note of interesting things people have on their backpacks or the clothes people are wearing... hoping and praying for inspiration... for some spark that will set off in my mind and produce a *perfect* list of all the presents to get people for christmas. *sigh* so stressful... not to mention my tight budget this year. ahhhh... =P


aside from stress from shopping... Christmas is always a huge time of reflection for me ... especially about the things that i'm grateful for. recently i've noticed i have magnitude of complaints and little emmissions of gratitude. so i decided that i need to think of one thing to be grateful for everyday. today... i am grateful for..... DA BEEN LOW!!! ^_^ muahahahahaha... we had "da been low" for dinner tonight. i have absolutely no idea what that is in english... perhaps hot pot... but i'm not sure if that's something entirely differnt. =P anyways... for people who don't know what that is it's... this amazing invention where there's this like electric pot in the middle filled with boiling water and all these raw meats and stuff ... and everyone has this metal scoopy thingy where you stick the food in and then dip into the boiling water to cook. and then you dump it in your bowl which is filled with a mixture of sauces like... soy sauce and sesame something... and yeah... oh my goodness SO GOOD LA!!! i love being chinese. *^_^*


was talking about diana krall to gen today and... okay seriously, don't u ppl think she sounds just like a man?? ... seriously i heard her song and i didn't know it was by her i thought it was by a GUY. so when i saw her in matt's "in rotation" stuff and downloaded "The Look of Love" and heard it ... i was like "WHAT??!??!?!?!" ... cuz i didn't know it was the same song since she really does *appear* to be female... lol that was so mean... sorry to diana krall fans =P
