Enough, I’m tired of the western media nitpicking.
Rant ahead~~~~~

It doesn’t mean Chinese (or Asians in general) should look older than they are.
Yes, I’m looking at you, CNN commentators~~~
Just because an American 16-year-old can look like a 21-year-old, doesn’t mean that a 19-year-old Chinese girl can’t look like a 14-year-old…. to you. *rolls eyes* Yes, I am talking from personal experience.
Like my mom said… “suena a piconeria” xD meaning something like “sounds like sore losers to me” – LOL’ which would be even worse, if the Chinese team is younger~~~ imagine, a so-called 11-year-old team beating the 20-something-year-old teams. Whatever.
Have you got Beijing Olympic fever yet? I’ve noticed many are searching for “Wo he Ni” (aka, You and Me) Lyrics, so I decided to do another Olympic music post because I didn’t see many blogging about this.
Besides from You and Me, there’s the album, The Official Album for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, which is a double-disc album that includes “Beijing Huan Ying Ni” (aka. Beijing Welcomes You), We Are Ready, and One World One Dream, Beijing Beijing Wo Ai Beijing… among other songs, performed by a broad variety of Chinese (and some other Asian) singers like… Jay Chou, Wei Wei, Joey Yung, Lee Hom Wang *dokidoki*, Jackie Chan, Coco Lee, Nicholas Tse and Andy Lau just to name a few~~~
Of course, the double-disc is filled with ‘patriotic’ and very Chinese-feeling songs, which is great because the Beijing Olympics are being held in China, damn it! LOL’ So what’s the need to create a mediocre ‘western’ version?? Yes, on my search for the Beijing Olympic songs, I came upon The Olympics Album – One World One Dream, which features singers like…. Avril Lavigne singing Keep Holding On (from the average, if not mediocre soundtrack of Eragon), the 2002 (yes, I said 2002) hit Get the Party Started by Pink, Backstreet Boys singing Helpless When She Smiles (what does this have to do with the Olympics??), Westlife singing Us Against the World, Waiting for the World to Change by John Mayer… and other artists.
You can see for yourself in YesAsia.com

Fans… that tend to have their fan-colored glasses on should stay away from rumors. Yeah, sure… we can love reading Lainey’s celeb reporting, and opinions about Nicole Kidman… or codename Granny Freeze. LOL’ I mean, I like Kidman’s acting in films like Margot at the Wedding, which came out not long ago~~ But things like that make me snort.
But when one has their fan-colored glasses on… *cough* we should stay cleared. xD And I refuse, I REFUSE to believe the rumors I just read. You see, this is what happens when you actively search for rumors. Haha, you get punched and your fan-colored glasses suffer.
I know sometimes, most the times, we should take our glasses off and take our idols off the pedestal we’ve put them on. But it’s so hard! LOL’ I swear, it will take me 6 months… at least, hahaha. Please, let the rumors just be rumors. xD
Yup~ Felices fiestas! xD Que viva el Peru, and the whole shebang~
Brace yourselves for some marching tomorrow, and prepare your illegally bought movies ‘coz many won’t be too fond of national TV xD
My jaw hurts, so I won’t be eating anything hard to chew. I’m beginning to hate doctors… my jaw hurts worse that it used to. It blows. Clean ears, my ass.
Also, YesAsia blows. I need to bent! Keep your fingers crossed for the next five days so they can at least find Dandelion… because Dandelion is oh-so-pretty-a-book. And I need to have it.
Not really a rant, but weird stuff that don’t happen often have been happening. Well, a couple of weeks ago, maybe two weeks….? I was preparing to eat my Banana Nut Crunch cereal, so I was getting my milk ready on the bowl when *LE GASP* There was a worm in my milk O_O Tiny white worm, I’m such a girl sometimes, I totally freak out. LOL’ More like I get icky, you know…. My mom and I thought it might be the milk, so we threw it all…
Last night, i was watching a Natgeo special on bugs that live in our house and we don’t even notice. Even watching that make me go all itchy, to which my mom replied “Why do you watch then?” x’D Where else can I see a red-eye humongous fly without trying to chase it with the flyswap?
Anyway, later… like at 1am, I went to the kitchen to finish with the rest of the mandarin juice, and when I was pouring that into a glass, I saw another freaky white worm climbing up the wall. I totally mute-freaked xD, my mom was asleep already so I couldn’t wake her up, so I got rid of it… totally made the back of my neck all funny.
Well… now, today! I was totally sitting on the kitchen preparing a new bowl of Banana Nut Crunch, I poured the milk on the bowl and was about to open the box of cereal when I feel something brushing my arm really fast… u know, like the feeling of a leaf that has just fallen from a tree?? Just like that. So I went WTF O_o, I moved around to check the floor, AND THERE IT WAS! A tiny white worm wobbling on the floor… totally lost it! LOL Just thinking about it makes me icky… So WTF, mom and I haven’t found the ‘source’ of this white worm outbreak.
On other crappy news… well, the morning after I went out with my friends, I woke up with a terrible ear sore. It was not outside, nor inside… like somewhere in the middle, but it only bugged me when I opened my mouth. As the young adult that I am, I shrugged it off. LOL’ So I went about my day thinking it will clear off. I woke up on Monday having the same ear sore, and a bit more intensified, so I told my mom and she told me that if it hurt in the morning of Tuesday, that we should visit the doctor.
So we went about our day, had dinner with everyone for the restaurant’s 16th anniversary, and went back home… when I woke up, the same thing with my ear, SO today I visited the doctor. He checked my ears, my throat and nose for any sort of flu/allergy kinda thing. LOL, he told me my ears are WAY too clean… cleaner than average. LOL’ and that my sore on the left ear might be because of a jaw inflammation. He asked me if I had eaten anything hard to chew… or chewed gum. When I told him I didn’t, he thought maybe I had yawned a ‘power yawn’ LOL and it sort of moved from its place!
He gave me some pills to reduce inflamation, so let’s see how that goes. In the meantime, gotta keep those yawns in check xD
I had heard about the Nikkan awards of some sort, which are supposedly based on popularity… and well, I don’t feel up to typing the list of winners, so I’ll be linking to this lovely post that does and even lists the number of votes.
Last Friends didn’t win for Best Drama… that’s sadness. And I was sorry that Eita didn’t win~~ I mean, no offense to Ryo and his Sousuke… but *sighs* Takeru~~
I also understand Juri Ueno wining Best Supporting Actress, though she deserved a Best Actress. LOL’ xD I mean, did any of you watched LF for Michiru??? Really??? Cross your heart on that?? And poor Asami Mizukawa… she was supporting of the supporting~~ *sighs* this world is upside down, I tell you!!!!
Over a year ago, I wrote a lengthy post on downloading stuff with P2P or torrents, as well as legal downloads. In that post I mention I only had 2 legal downloaded albums from iTunes (Canada), and yes… now I probably got a few more (I got two more just a couple of weeks ago), and AM still waiting for Amazon MP3 to go international… is it offering this service already?? I must test for my next digital purchase.
**EDIT**
Amazon MP3 is still NOT international.
Anyway~ do you buy music? Do you support your favorite artist? Continue Reading…
Logged in a few minutes ago to find there’s a new WP version already. I have an issue, though~ This comes up whenever I click on the “Add Image” in the “Add media” bar.
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, ‘media_admin_css’ was given in /****/****/public_html/****/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 311
ALSO, If you click on this post WP shows me a 404 ERROR. What’s happening!! Permalinks that include index.php are not working, so Categories are not working, Pages are not working, Archives is not working. Will stop blogging, until issue is fix.
*EDIT*
De-activated Flexible Upload, and the WARNING Message in the Add Image went away. Still got the 404 Error with the permalinks, though~ Le sigh.
**EDIT**
Successfully downgraded to WordPress 2.5.1
***EDIT*** 3.36am
Successfully edited permalinks without index.php, will try WP 2.6 later. Off to bed.
****EDIT**** 3.03pm
Ok, that worked. AM now using WP 2.6, but as u can see all links don’t have the index.php thing. LOL’ Good WP move so people have to make the switch to ‘pretty’ permalinks. Hee. Ok, not so funny. It was pretty annoying… this is what you need to do to change it…
Get your .htaccess file, and add this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Then go to your WP admin, go to Settings, Permalinks and do your thing.
/year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
After that, WP 2.6 is all dandy. Otherwise, go to the WP Forums coz they’ve got another option.
The first part (of 3) of Joss Whedon’s web-thing-series will be up online today. I go there, excited as hell, only to find this.
WTH, man. If you’re in the US, go ahead… watch it! If you have an idea how to work around this issue, let me know!
**EDIT** July 16
Ok, the fangirl in me googled ‘other’ sources for this, and read an article that said that there were some issues with regions. And I was able to see it just now!!! Though my friend claims that he still doesn’t see it…
INSTANT LOVE! Neil Patrick Harris as the villain, I love it! Super geeky, super funny… Nathan Fillion is pretty funny too, but NPH is just TOO funny. xD Can’t wait for episode 2
