    Hi I'm candice, you contacted me on twitter but I don't have your email adress so I'm replying here :p
    Your fanfic is absolutely amasing! I'm hooked!and the fact that it's set in Japan makes it even better :p
    I'would love to draw scenes from your story!!
    let me know if there's one in particular you absolutely want, you can contact me on my deviant page ;)

    Happy New Year and Advance feast of the three kings!

    I just saw your reply to my rather incoherent message from way back. So now I'm no longer an applicant but a full pledged stalker. haha.

    Wicked cookie? you want one? my friends hated it after i gave them some. Haha, not for everybody i guess.

    Regarding the ramen, can't say i loved it. Sorry. To be fair, I ate in some random 'Japanese' chain restaurant. I'm reserving my judgment for ramen until I taste some authentic ones from Japan.

    Oh and yeah, I think stalking you would be hard. I mean the only information I know about you are those from here: (I'm bored sorry. Just yell stop if you're totally creeped out.
    -that you're real name ain't Sam. (cause duh or is it?)
    -that you're in Japan(and now China) but not exactly Japanese. (basing it from you're story)
    -that you're a polyglot. (term right? google please don't fail me)

    see where I'm going here? my research skills are basically failing me, so can you help me? Since it's nearly impossible for me to know you personally personally. I'll just ask you questions :D

    Cat or Dog? easy right.

  12. @Anonymous, talussah, K.17, Baaramewe, liv, MonMonroy, carey: Hahaha! I know. I'm sorry for my insanity. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas celebration! Cheers!

    @candichou: Hey, Candice! Wow. Thanks a lot. You know I'm a fan of yours too. I'll DM you my e-mail address. Again, thank you for reading my story and thanks for the lovely words. I'm blushing right now. LOL. Cheerio!

    @ApplicantStalker: Have a non-dorky 2011 too! Haha! I'm not saying you're a dork. I just love dorks and I think the word 'dorky' is such an awesome adjective . . . and "Dork!" is a term of endearment for me. Anyway . . . I love ramen and I would usually lash out on people who disses ramen, but I understand that nothing's quite as good as the authentic Japanese ramen. They have different types: Miso, Shoyu, Kotteri . . . I could go on and on but Tonkotsu ramen with pork siaryu is the best one around. Am I boring you? LOL. Okay. There I go with the chow babble again. I love talking about food, you know. My name's not Sam and I just got back to Japan. My flight was rescheduled (Okay. Too much info.). And a polyglot? Wow. I don't know. LOL You're making me sound like a dork there.

    Answer: Dog (Not that I have one). I'm allergic to cat's fur.

    Extra info: I was born on the Feast of the Three Kings. :) And I have a snakefish as a pet . . . if that should be called a pet, yea? Because pets are meant to be cuddled or something but it's impossible to even put your finger a metre away from my "pet". LOL

  13. Applicant Stalker5.1.11

    Wow! A reply again, me getting spoiled rotten here. (I'm totally not complaining.)

    Sorry again about the ramen. Tonkutsu? ah dang, I chose not to eat meat for a few months now, so I guess I say goodbye to trying one of the best. Talking about food is one of my favorite subject as well, so you babbling away about it is perfectly acceptable. Ironically, I love talking and looking and grilling steak. I just don't eat them.(and now I'm talking about myself, do stalkers do that? tsk.)

    Yey to Dogs! (not that I have anything against cats.)

    Woah! Info! So you're birthday is just round the corner. I would bake a cake if I could and fill it with special weed [(not that I do drugs, unless you do drugs then I do drugs all the time.) sorry, just watched Scott Pilgrim v. the world, I randomly babble lines.] Geez! That just made me sound like a dork, didn't it? But yeah, as you may have observed, I totally love movies...

    So basically, Happy Birthday to you (totally confirmed) Not Sam!

    next question: what do you want for your birthday dessert? Cake or Ice cream?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Applicant Stalker5.1.11

    Oh I forgot to comment about your snakefish.

    I guess you and your pet have this totally romantic relationship. You see unconsummated love for me is tragic and still the most romantic kind. (ugh, did i sound sappy there?) Just see movies 'In the mood for love' and 'Brief Encounter' for proof.

    In those movies, instances and current home situations kept them apart. In your pet's case though, It's his/her glass cage or uhm nature to keep you at a distance? (I am totally presenting myself as a nutcase, am I?)

    ReplyDelete
  15. @Applicant Stalker: I was supposed to go online on IM and have a conference with my two friends 'cause we're going to discuss our upcoming THREESOME birthday bash (Again, too much info) BUT I love spoiling you ROTTEN. Haha! LOL Transforms into a figjam in 3 . . . 2 . . . Aren't I the best? LOL

    So am I allowed to ask you too? I'm just wondering why you've turned your back on meat . . . I mean SPAM is heavenly!!! Okay. I was just joking.

    Thank you for being such a thoughtful movie geek. A friend of mine actually volunteered to bake me SPECIAL butterscotch but what made it special is that it's fake weed. Like what in the world does 'fake weed' even mean? LOL Thanks for the birthday greetings. I'm planning to sleep through tomoz because I have a phobia on turning a year older. So in my brain, I'm only 9 years old. Maybe I'm the nutter case, yea? Haha!

    Anyway, I love Michael Cera and I love Scott Pilgrim . . .

    Answer: Wow. I'm a little torn. But I'd go for ICE CREAM. I love Ben & Jerry's and Dairy Queen Choco Almond. And I do have a ritual in eating Rocky Road. :)

    Erratum: Snakehead fish. Sorry, you might be wondering what that creature was. LOL But, yea, I agree with my romantic relationship with my pet. It could be long-distance (according to you) or - uh - the worst kind which is UNREQUITED LOVE. Ouch.

    Oh gosh, you asked me a question. i guess this would be my end of the bargain... So do you want the real or the fake answer? (since you couldn't reply asap, Imma give you both).

    So answer one is, You see I live this super unhealthy lifestyle of frequent drinking, smoking, and something SPECIAL. I wanted to do myself a favor and be healthy for once. It's like cancelling out, you see?

    Answer two is, that for a moment, nothing new is happening with my life. I get bored easily, as in. And while surfing the net, BAM! I stumbled upon the concept of vegetarianism. So I thought of 'oooh, Imma try that!' and I've been leading that food life ever since.

    Typing it now, both answers sounded rather lame. Guess which one is real and fake. :)

    Fake Weed?!? baffling really. Haha! I guess that's how 9 year old rebels do it huh? And does 9 year old you eat rocky road by eating the nuts first, then the mallows, then the ice cream or is it the other way around? Cause that's how I do it. (If I got it all wrong, feel free to shout eh! totally wrong loser!)

    So question: favorite fast food chain?

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Applicant Stalker: God, it feels great to be 9 years old! Last night's threesome bash was epic, I should say. Turns out "fake weed" is just something imaginary. You tell people there's weed when there isn't. It's a little mean but, you know, you just have to find out who are the biggest losers. My friend brought butterscotch biscuits and after five minutes everyone's acting all dead high. Like that's the nuttiest thing I've ever experienced! My friend and I were in a corner just laughing our arses off at the scenario!

    So I slept through my birthday last week and got a musical birthday card from my grandmother with an annoying pink hippo that pops up and says "When will you wake up, Stupid?" (Duh. As if hippos aren't the dumbest ones in all Kingdom Animalia! They have the tiniest brain. TINIEST!)

    But it was sweet, you know. It brought tears to my eyes.

    Not-So-Wild Guess: I'm the kind of person who would always see the good in people (not that I'm saying that binging/puffing/snorting is effed up or anything. You do your own thing; My eyes are closed and my mouth shut. LOL) . . . and I don't judge so I'm gonna have to pick ANSWER 2 as the REAL one for 200 please. I'm totally mixing up game shows, aren't I?

    Answer: In-N-Out back in Cali . . . and Tenkaippin here in Japan. I love my food oily and unhealthy. Yea!

    And you're totally right about the ritual. Good one!

    Did you just made a reference to Jeopardy the game show? I HATE THAT SHOW. I used to love it but I had this professor once that ruined it for me. Our finals for him was a game of jeopardy, he even played the theme song before each question. The winning team would get the highest mark while the losing team fails the class. Each team represented by one member. Teammate of mine didn't know any of the answers(not saying she's dumb but it was mostly a game of memory from ridiculous readings we never got to discuss)so we lost. Poor gal, cried the whole night thinking she'll lose her honors.. (oh and we had to stay til late night for this)(oh and this happened during MY BIRTHDAY) SORRY FOR THE RANT.

    Anyway, you got 200 points! Totally correct, wish I had a better story to tell but that's it. The perfectly boring story of my vegetarian life.

    Hey, what's with the hippo hate? Gloria from Madagascar won't be too happy with that.

    Fake weed story totally gave me an idea for upcoming parties. Thank you very much. So Why is your bash called THREESOME? sounds wild. Gah the images. haha

    In-N-Out. There's this music video by Best Coast where Ronald Mcdonald have take outs from in-N-Out. Just remembered. Am I boring you already? I'm just in shambles am I?

    Reading back, I see we have different opinion s on what is the most tragic kind of love. So which one is it, unrequited of unconsummated?
    I really have a knack for couples that reciprocate each other's feelings but can never or did not get that chance to be together. Like parallel lines you see? On the other hand, I also feel for one-way chickens. Hay. I will now stop myself before this gets too depressingly boring. Sorry.

    After all these words, I honestly would understand if you don't give me a reply(but I secretly wish you would)

    Beach bum? or would you rather be in the mountains?

    ReplyDelete
  19. @Applicant Stalker: Okay. I'm about to spoil you again. LOL

    That must have been a ball . . . or a laugh rather! Using Jeopardy in class?!? Sounds fun! But poor classmate. You just can't eliminate the loony dorks in a class, eh? There's got to be one. ALWAYS. And to think she spoiled your birthday. Maybe your wish was like: "POOR GAL.must.die." LOL Just kidding!

    YAY! for my 200 points! Could you change that to dollars, though? Please! Haha!

    I'm not hating on hippos. Neither am I hating on Stitch. Why do you think I hate hippos? Why? Haha!

    I still go for unrequited. It's also sort of parallel, if you really look at it. Parallel lines but like dashes (like this -> --) Call me crazy but that's my interpretation. I understand yours is like this -> ||

    Oh, my God. What am I talking about?!?!? LOL

    Answer: Mountains. I had this secret fantasy of staying seven and a half years in Tibet. Why the "and a half"? I want to outdo Brad Pitt. YAY!

    No, but seriously. I love mountains, snowboarding, rock climbing, skiing on Mt. Crumpit with The Grinch, hibernating, looking for the Three Claws, maybe I could meet all the Ourea . . . and oh, I was able to conquer Mount Fuji and watch the sunrise from the summit.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Applicant Stalker21.1.11

    I could convert your points to dollar but you'd have to meet me in person to get it right? Or through wire transfer/bank but where's the fun in that?

    Well you said hippos have the "tiniest brain. TINIEST!" Don't you think that's kind of an insult? But you could totally apologize by saying the have the best smile!

    Oh no you did not just use symbols. haha. That is not unrequited love (--). It's more of a dot and a line (.|) See? The dot's looking at the point where he/she fell in love with the line. But in a parallel line (||), they keep on following each other... Hey, not picking a fight here eh? That'd be kinda stupid of me. I might suddenly be mulled on the street by your stalkers here in blogger. (Oh wait! I'm one of them! Shite! Conflict of interest.)

    Mountain's huh? So what is it like at top of Mt. Fuji? I've never seen the sun rise while on top of a mountain but I was hoping it's something where you just can't help but smile. sigh, I know I'd be able to experience that soon.

    Now you really caught my interest (this is a failed attempt to downplay my excitement at your replies)Can I also meet the Grinch? Please Pretty Please?

    So can I still ask you a question? let's take it up a notch if I'm still allowed to: Favorite movie/s?

    ReplyDelete
  21. @AS: Wow. You have a new nickname now, eh? LOL. And ASIANS. Haha! Good one!

    My insults aren't really for hating, you know. I just usually talk about things in a very pissy manner. I'm sorry it came out as a diss. LOL And OK, because I love spoiling I'm going to declare that they have the best smile. I hope Gloria would be happy about that.

    RE: Interpretations - The line and the point look like a footballer to me. LOL I dunno. Sorry, maybe, you're the love expert between us two. But really it looks like a juggling bloke. LOL I actually don't know how I came up with the (--). Perhaps, it was the fake weed's fault. But at that moment i was pretty sure unrequited love is like that.

    The sunrise from Fuji-zan's POV was just breathtaking. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever laid my eyes on. I could show you an eerie video if you want. :) Haha! I think the Grinch is hiding somewhere in Gibraltar right now. Mt. Crumpit's too boring for him, you know.

    Answer: I love film noir. But if you want titles I'd go for Bollywood's "Dil Kya Kare", the classic "Somewhere in Time", the warm film "Napola", and the heartbreaking Korean film "Ditto". Share me yours.

    ReplyDelete
  22. A reply! Seriously, is there a feed that would alert me whenever there's a reply??? This checking whenever online thing is kinda crazy.

    Oscars noms done, time to make my bets. Me and a friend have this game where we guess the winners. Whoever gets the most, Wins! I lost 3 consecutive years already. (and no, not a geek. excuse me, don't judge! haha)

    So I went to google(I know now you prefer yahoo!) and looked at those film titles... I've seen "Sky of Love", apparently its a remake of "Ditto". I better see the original then. And with regards to my favorites? hay, hmm, dunno. a LOT i guess, but here's what I recommend:

    for its music: Hedwig and the Angry Inch
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRol4ByOh6g
    and titles that come to mind:
    American Beauty, Donnie Darko, Chungking Express and The Simpsons(Spiderpig!)

    Sorry, I'm no expert when it comes to love. I messed up every relationship that I've ever been in. So perhaps (--) could work. leveled.

    If the Grinch is in Gibraltar? What would his color be since its all sunny there, right? And the video of Mt. Fuji, please?

    Question: so which is cuddlier, cuter, fluffier? a teddy bear or a panda bear?

  24. Just got back from work. But here I am spoiling you again. Haha! And, yep, the OSCARS. Which one's your bet for Best Picture? I haven't seen True Grit and Winter's Bone though. Have you?

    You should watch "Ditto". It's really such a beautiful film. It shows that love transcends all barriers - time or place. It's wonderful. I remember watching it in Hong Kong and it was so tough because there were no English subtitles (just Chinese) so I had to figure out what's going on through some Chinese characters (which, thank God, I could interpret a bit) and through reading the actors' emotions. But I got the essence and that's what matters in the end, yea? You just know how effective a film is by just watching how it flows (in spite of the language barrier). OK. I am babbling again.

    The Grinch is alright at the Rock of Gibraltar. Luckily, he's still green as goo. It's repulsive, really.

    So I tried looking for the video that a friend of mine took while we were on Mt. Fuji but it seems like YouTube took it down because of music rights violation or whatever. Anyway, I found another one that's also just as beautiful. Just put it to mute because the Japanese guys are annoying. They're like "Amazing! This is just wonderful! Amazing!" - they just say it over and over. So here it is (You're free to use that "Origin of Love" music - cute, btw - for the bg song):
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPHmk5WwUns&feature=related

    It's just like a ball that goes up very slowly. It's simply amazing.

    Answer: PANDA BEARS! I've seen real Panda bears and they're so huggable. But had you included Polar bears, I'd go for Polar bears.

    Can I ask you? Natalie Portman or Mila Kunis?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Haven't seen those two films as well. But I have a copy of True Grit so will watch it right about now. haha. So far, bar True Grit and Winter's Bone, my bets on Social Network. We have to give it to David Fincher, he surely made an interesting talkie movie. Almost 2 hours of talking and all I could do was watch, listen and laugh. How bout you?

    Anybody's game really, that last quarter of 2010 was amazingly filled with lovely films! And since we're in the mood for sharing wonderful videos. Here's a short film by Iñárritu(Babel, Amores Perros) for BMW called Powder Keg.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgOOU0z_Pik

    Currently downloading "Ditto" :) And I agree, a film should also be able to relay the story visually(Mise-en-scène and all) and not just through its dialogue...

    The Grinch might be green as goo, but he can be sweet too! I don't think I fancy meeting him at the Rock of Gibraltar. Unlike in Mt. Crumpit where its all cool, he might be too sweaty and smelly now that he's in a very sunny place.

    Thanks for that video! I still listened to the Japanese peeps and boy were they excited ha? you're right, kinda annoying.

    My choices didn't make sense really, one is an inanimate object while the other is a wildlife creature. haha. True, huggable Panda Bears and their cute spots. But I always equate them to neglected children since when born a twin, Momma Panda only cares for one cub and neglects the other.

    Polar Bears? But why?

    Haha, really? You just had to ask that ha? I've been a Natalie Portman fan ever since Leon the Professional, so I'm going to say Natalie by a super slight margin. Plus I always see Meg(Family Guy) whenever I hear Mila Kunis. But in Black Swan?!? She almost did a spontaneous human combustion, didn't she?

    So I'm throwing that question right back at you. Natalie or Mila? additional: Mickey Mouse or Bug Bunny?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Strewth. Actually I'm betting on The Social Network (as much as I love Inception) as well. You gotta love Jesse Eisenberg and his skill to memorise such lengthy lines. I mean, I'm incredibly loquacious too but I would gladly raise a white flag in front of Mark Zuckerberg.

    And I love his line "Niagara Falls has nothing to do with the Carribean." High five!

    And Max Minghella. . . God bless that boy. I adore him not because of his last name (his dad's (RIP) "Cold Mountain" and "The English Patient" were brill) but because he's a dorko. And I love dorks.

    So I checked out the short film you've shared and I have to say I'm impressed. Such a powerful and moving movie for 10 minutes and 41 seconds. Great directing.

    Your story about the twin pandas sort of bothered me. Haha! I didn't know about the 'abandoning one' part. Odd look here. And polar bears because I fell in love with one when I saw one in Kobe. They stink but they're very adorable creatures. Again, not hatin'.

    Answer 1: I'D GIVE AWAY MY EMPIRE FOR MILA KUNIS! Fell in love with her in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall".

    Answer 2: BUGS BUNNY. I know it's a little naive but my grudge for Mickey Mouse is justified, you know. Especially Anaheim's Mickey. Tokyo and Florida's Mickey not so much. BUT Anaheim's Mickey was a massive pain in the arse. I remember wanting to take a photo with him but he snubbed me. I was very upset. I just wanted a pose where he had to give me a butt spank but I don't know if he's just being a prick or if he's too wholesome or if he's just simply deaf. But I hated him. I never got the picture.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I was actually hoping you'd bet on another movie so we could you know, "see who's right" and place a wager. Maybe for a piece of chocolate? (I'm a sucker for little gambling. haha)

    In the event that you find yourself in a word duel with Mr. Zuckerberg, you could just say "you're such a FIGJAM!" then make a run for it.

    The Panda thing bothered me too but I think I got over it. We sort of adapted it in day to day use. My friends and I, we're a bunch of little Panda Cubs. But replace Pandamom with girl/boyfriends or sometimes each other that is.

    You're being defensive about the "not hating thing". Haha!

    Prude little Mickey of Anaheim. Well think about it, he might be a really old man who sees you as his granddaughter or he could also be a she that would totally not want to grab another woman's ass.

    Are you a coffee or hot choco or tea drinker?

  28. notSam! notSam! notSam! notSam! notSam!

  29. Okay. You asked for it, eh? Just for the sake of competition, I'd place a box of Godiva chocs on "True Grit". But what if we both lose?

    Haha. That'd be a clever move, wouldn't it? He'd be all like "Figjam? WTF does that even mean? Figjam???" LOL

    Okay. Now the Panda Cubs bothers me. What's that? You play Twister and eat brownies?

    Yea, probably. Or he might be just this mysophobic freak. He doesn't like butt-slapping people (esp. weird strangers) or contact with anyone for that matter. Duh, as if he wasn't wearing rat or mouse gloves. I still think of Mickey as a rat, don't you? Anyway he still looks like a freaking rodent. Not hatin' (Please be reminded that when I say this in my mind, I say it much like Barney Stinson's way of saying "Suit up!").

    Answer: HOT CHOCO or just CHOCO. I love Van Houten. How about you?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well we could bet on 5 movies each, so someone would surely win. I get "Social Network", you get "True Grit". For my second choice, "Kids are all right" please, your turn? Oh and I bet a box of Lindt (intense) Dark Chocolate.

    Haha. No we just play card games and eat lots of cookies. I do bounce though. Once upon a time, I got so pissed I bounced on my friend's airbed 'til it blew up. Good thing, I have some duct tape in my bag or else she wouldn't have a bed to sleep in. I had to pay her though, proper person that I am.

    I hate rats, I don't like Mickey nor Minnie and I don't find bugs bunny funny. I think I only like with Tweety. And I love to drink coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Since Oscar is an Anglophile, I think "The King's Speech" has a great/real chance of winning as well.

    "The Kids Are All Right"? Are you serious? Not being a prick here. And I gotta say Annette Bening is a great contender for Best Actress. And who knows, really.

    Oh, right, the wicked cookies. Yum. LOL That must have been a laugh. You blowing up your friend's airbag. Priceless. And I'm not going to ask why you bring a duct tape with you in your bag. Odd look here.

    I like Marvin the Martian. I love freaks. And dorks. And one time I got tempted to have Road Runner tattooed on my arm to pull off a biker girl look during Halloween. Never mind Wile E. Coyote.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I was about to pick "The King's Speech' but I didn't want to hug all the frontrunners. That'd be unfair of me, right? Besides I enjoyed "the Kids are all right". My heart clenched the moment Julianne Moore kissed Mark Ruffalo. And that couch scene. ouch!

    For my 3rd choice, I pick "Black Swan".

    I feel the need to explain myself here. haha. Duct tape, uhm, I think I used it to make this futuristic "derelicte" gadget for a friend. I could show you a picture, if you don't believe me on this one. There properly explained. or not.

    A biker girl with a Road Runner tattoo? explain why!?! Though I know someone with Road Runner tattooed on his chest.

    Seriously, do you have any tattoos?

  33. Okay. My next pick is "The Fighter". Christian Bale and Melissa Leo were amazing! Predictable story, but all hail Bale. He was a great Dickey.

    "The Kids Are All Right" is ALL RIGHT however I just think that with the very stiff competition, it might not be good enough to keep up with the others.

    Okay. I would convince myself that you bringing a duct tape in your bag was justifiably SANE. Haha! Also, I wrote there airbag. LOL That should've been airbed.

    道走り or Roadrunner in Japanese implies deeper, nuttier things. It would definitely fit a badass biker chick, if you know what I mean. So why not include a real Road Runner with the Kanji (fake) tattoo, yea? I do have to clear something though: I DO NOT HAVE ANY TATTOO ON MY BODY.

  34. fourth choice: :"Winter's Bone"

    Question: How would the wager get to the winner's doorstep/s? I mean, clearing up the terms, is it purely imaginary or will there be a real box of Godiva on my lap by the end of February?

    Well, along with the duct tape, I remember having a can of spray paint. So I colored the tape to match her bed. great right? totally, totally normal.

    You don't have any plans of getting a tattoo? I really want to put the ink on myself, but that would be limiting my choice of body area to parts accessible to my right hand and sight. Sad, I really want something on my back.

    Oh and on with more questions, not poking on your personal life but Is Misaki based on a real person you know? or even Zoe? or Sugiyama Sensei?

    ReplyDelete
  35. My next choice is - TADA! - "Toy Story 3"!

    Haha! Although this might seem like a total pisstake, I actually believe that the animated movie has a real chance. And you never know, yea? I just think that it's a wonderful, beautifully-created film. A visual feast. It never disappoints.

    Actually that would be a problem 'cos I'm just not the settler sort of person. Like I'd be in Manila in a few days then off to God-knows-where (maybe chasing after headhunters in the Pacific islands). But we'll see how it goes. You never know, perhaps we'll be on the same island then. And how sure are you that you're gonna win? I feel confident with my choices, you know. Haha! Smug smirk here.

    I'm going to give you the total benefit of the doubt. LOL Okay. You're completely normal.

    No. No tattoos for me. No.

    ANSWERs: Misaki? NO. No one similar that I know of. I wish there was though. I mean I have sweet Japanese girl friends but no one quite like her. Zoe...is like me actually-her love for challenge and the effed-up way she goes after everything deemed unattainable. There was a Karen. There was a Cook. He's my BFF actually but he's Italian. There was a Freddie. Halo is partially like me-school club whore, little Energizer bunny (not into nail art and NO TO Lady Gaga impersonation though). There was a Naomi. Yes, I patterned Naomi to one of my Aussie friends. And some stuff there happened but not in a serious romantic way. Let's just say it was unrequited. My fault. Sugiyama? No. My professors so far were good, amiable people. There was a Yoshida-san. He was bloody awful! So those parts where they get always caught doing crazy things- those were real. Haha!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Final pick: "Inception"

    Haha, did you cry while watching "Toy Story 3"? I swear, I had to force my tears out. My friends were all tearing up and they were looking at me like I'm some freak of nature for not crying. I really didn't get it. The opening of "UP" however, made me a sobbing mess.

    I'm 50percent sure that I would win. I too am pretty confident with my choices so i really look forward to some chocolates. Oh the Philippines, where it's all sunny everyday except for the monsoons. haha. And how sure are you that we're not in the same island? Raises one eyebrow and smirks.

    So you're no Emily, huh? and that Halo wearing a Panda costume while snowboarding happened in real life? Haha. I reckon that would be quite a sight!

    If marshmallows and honey were the last kinds of food available on the planet, and you're asked to choose just one, which would you prefer to eat for the remainder of your life?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Last pick: "127 Hours" Do I have a choice? LOL Let's give it to James Franco though.

    Nope. I didn't cry. I don't usually cry by just watching movies. "Hachiko", "Grave of the Fireflies" and "Bridge to Terabithia" did it for me though. I was also near tears during those reminiscing parts of "Up". It was so touching.

    I'm 75% sure I would win. LOL Yes, the Philippines. Probably the best paradise on earth. Lifts a brow and smirks back. "Are we? You're in Japan?" LOL

    I'm NO Emily. Very far from that girl. LOL Sometimes it makes me cringe to write such a touchy, sensitive, and dramatic person because I am nowhere like her. Not at all. Re: Snowboarding in a panda costume - Haha! No comment.

    Answer: Honey. I'd just imagine that there are buttered pancakes with it. Not so much a fan of marshmallows (only in Rocky Road). You?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Two remaining civilizations, one eats marshmallows and the other, honey. You chose honey? You want to be like Winnie the Pooh? Hmm, I think I'd go with Marshmallows. I could shape it into little steaks and pretend I'm eating Steak!

    Fucking "Grave of the Fireflies"! It somehow got into my Studio Ghibli collection and I watched it right after "My Neighbor Totoro". Imagine that, I was jumping n' singing Totoro! To-toro! then crying after an hour because that movie was super moving.

    Haha. I think that proves that you're an effective writer then, cause I also cringed while reading some of those mushy scenes.

    Oh and my location. Hmmm... (rubs chin). Nope not in Japan. That narrows it down, that is, if you're interested to know. With that, personal delivery of prize is out of the question. How should we go about this huh? any suggestions?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Just got back from work. However let me first say: BUT YOU'RE VEGETARIAN! How can you fantasize about steak? That's just not right. Haha.

    I never really fancied Totoro. I had this friend who was so addicted to the creature. He's a big bellied bloke and was a little annoying (especially his Totoro impressions with American accent). But he was the first lad who gifted me with a cute Hello Kitty pen so he occupies a tiny special place in my heart.

    Did you, really? Yea, it was excruciating for me to backread some of the chapters. Like there were quite a few moments when I'd be like, "WTF did I just write there?" or "OMG. I did NOT just write that." Haha! Fun times. Quite a laugh. But all is good. Fluff is part of the romamce. Yech.

    Let's see how it goes, really. Time can only tell, you know. LOL If all else fails, there's always UPS. Haha!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Well, you don't expect me to fantasize about carrots and cabbages?! Give me a break, I'll be eating the same thing over and over, might as well think of steak. Mallows did not come from a creature with a face anyways. But yeah, something's not right bout that.

    Did you spot Totoro in Toy Story3? Haha, you're friend fits the part well then, with the big belly and all. Question though, do you collect Hello Kitty stuff? I admit she's cute but sometimes people go overboard with collecting HK items.

    Come on, how can you not love Totoro? He's big, he's round and he love droplet sounds.

    Honestly, I did. But I also cringe when I think about the things I've done when I was in a relationship. Guess, you're just truthful. Oh love and what it makes people do, really embarrassing sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  41. That's what I was saying. I was exactly expecting you to fantasize about carrots and cabbages. Haha.

    Yea, I did. He was adorable but my attention was captured entirely by the triceratops. LOL Before, yes. When I was like eight. Haha. I went nuts with it. Mum spoiled me with HK. Like my room used to be like Little Sanrio Puroland. BUT now there's a STRICT NO-HELLO KITTY thingo policy in my room or I'll send it straight to the garbage bin. Not hatin'.

    Wow. So you must be like mushy Naomi, huh? No? Yes? Maybe? I lack mush in my blood, you know. But I'm good with sweet talking like Emily. Haha!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I don't do matching jewelry, so that separates me from Naomi. But yeah, the past... thinking about it makes me hide my head under a pillow and die of embarrassment! Come on, I'm doubting you on the "no mush in blood" statement, you wrote mush! That had to come from somewhere?

    You're a dangerous lady then. Sweet talking can be a powerful weapon, use it wisely. Haha. Remember Hitler got us into war using his sweet talking.

    So aside from a Hello Kitty collection, do you collect anything at the moment?

    ReplyDelete
  43. You don't? Haha. Me neither. LOL Wow. I can only imagine AS's mushiness. How far would you go, really? There's just myriad of romamtic ideas going on in here *points to brain*, yea? Haha. But, I'm serious about me having no sense of romance AT ALL. I was never the giver, you know. And the most horrible thing is: I don't feel guilty about being such a complete tit. I don't know. *shrugs self-consciously* Haha!

    Anyway (I love how JJ awkwardly said "Anyway" during the JJ ep in Series 4 LOL), so anyway, yes, I'm actually proud of my sweet-talking prowess. It's really very hazardous; I could shift the earth's axis with my words (so that's probably better than Hitler's, eh?). OK. Enough with the figjam-ing. Haha.

    I don't collect anything at the present time. How about tequila shots? Could those be counted? LOL What about you?

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'll just let you imagine those "romamtic" instances. I promised myself-- no one else would know! EVER!

    You might be a (secretly)romantic individual, maybe you just haven't found the right person to be mushy to? He/She is YET to come! I would love to hear the tales of your future sweet-thoughtful-sappy self. Matching shirts? or perhaps twin necklaces?

    Has anyone died or been injured from that sweet talking of yours? Should I be scared? Or you could put it to good use and do advocacy like stop global warming, etc...

    Tequila shots? I don't think so, though it could be if you took a picture of every shot you've taken and posted it on your wall. Haha! DVDs, that's what I collect. Those count, right?

    ooh Valentine's day coming up. Best Valentine's gift ever received?

    ReplyDelete
  45. OK. Fair enough. But my imagination is very wild, just to let you know. Your bad. LOL And DVDs . . . oh yea I almost forgot I was talking to the movie geek here.

    Haha. I loved how you wrote there "he/she". Hahaha! You really never know, right? Maybe you should've included "it" as well. I might marry my bathroom mirror.

    No. No matching shirts or necklaces defo. But, yes, I might be waiting for the right *chokes on tequila* yeeech! Ew. Mush. Haha. But, really, I'd probably drive that incredibly unlucky someone/thing mad as Sweeney Todd. Not to mention well injured and very exhausted. We'd be trekking and sandsurfing and skydiving and treasure-hunting and roasting corn cobs and we'd end up starting our own civilisation in the jungles of Borneo. *shrugs* You never know. *shrugs again*

    I'm sorry but I don't give a heck about global warming. Haha! But, yea, I have this bizarre power of persuasion thru sweet-talking. It's very potent and there had been countless victims. I remember this sports car dealer guy that I made so nervous and dazed despite his being an Alpha-male. He awkwardly ended our convo by ordering a bottle of champagne for me. Yes, I'm so mean; I call them "the car dealer guy", "the army guy", "the Goldman Sachs guy", "the Yakuza guy" (kidding!), etc.

    Answer: Hm. Um. Hmm. Not really a material one but someone took me to an abandoned yacht. Like I said, I like a challenge and I love breaking rules. So we sort of sneaked/trespassed a private property and just lay on the floor and gazed up at the stars. It was nice, but we just chilled and nothing romamtic really happened. Usually during Valentine's I would go into hibernation and hide from everyone because I don't like receiving gifts and in/decent proposals and date invites and the like. And I always make myself available (but not really available) during that time of the year because romance, for the nth time, makes me cringe to death. What about you, mushy AS?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Hello, I will reply now before i disappear into the weekend.

    So now I'm "MUSHY" AS? I refuse to accept that label. I believe I was driven to madness during that period of time, hence the actions I've done are to be called null and void. Haha. defensive much?

    Marrying your bathroom mirror is a little narcissistic, don't you think? You'd be kissing your own reflection!

    I wrote he/she because as my friend would say "whoever comes first in a MONUMENTAL way." Regardless of gender really. I could come with you on the corn cob roasting, so you just have to find someone else for the rest! Oh goodness, i bid goodluck and goodhealth for that person.

    Care about global warming! or at least care about the drowning Polar bear in the "Inconvenient truth".

    My answer, kind of the same as yours, but in a rotten garage and an old rocking chair. There was a meteor shower that night, so we sat there and watched the stars. We spotted about 30(shooting stars). While doing this, all we did was discuss Thomas More, Socialism, Evolution, The social implications of Disney Films, etc... That or an original Stanley Kubrick dvd boxset. Haha

    So there was never a memorable guy? just "_____ guy"s? I refuse to believe that, there has to be someone you at least admired? (too personal?)

    ReplyDelete
  47. And so it seems like I'm not the only one gone MIA this weekend.

    How was yours NotSam? mine was literally wasted. tsk.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Whatever makes you sleep at night, Mushy AS. Haha.

    "MONUMENTAL way" . . . what's that, you see sparks shooting to all directions and there's a swarm of bees in your tummy sort of way? I'm sorry I'm not very familiar with these things. Like I said, you're the love expert here. And, oh, no need to worry. Someone had already signed up for skydiving and settling down in the wild. LOL

    I was a bit of an escapist at a young age. I used to live in an imagined ME, ME, ME world. When I was fourteen I was pretty certain (and I'd tell everyone) I would end up marrying myself. I HAD an ego the size of six Texases! It was appalling.

    I don't believe in Al Gore's bollocks, seriously.

    Wow. Must've been a real nice date. An intellectual sort. I like that. And with the magical addition of shooting stars. Sweet.

    No. No one memorable as of this time. I mean, I'm just waiting for that Kaboom Kablam moment, you know. The people I've dated—we just didn't have enough emotional and mental connection. I went out with all sorts - even the great thinkers, political savvys, "Gran Cerebro" ones — and somehow they just seem so . . . bland. For lack of a better adjective. Attraction is there, given. But we just don't connect on all levels (perhaps 'cos of the cultural differences/age gap/varying philosophies factors) and I think it's very important if you're in sync as I find the awkward pauses and the "huh?" moments awfully irritating. It's not like I'm perfectly academic or incredibly witty but, you know, you just know if it clicks, if it feels right, or if it's worth the try or, err, risk. Am I getting all dramatic here? Sorry. Feel free to ignore this paragraph. I just came back from a very enlightening hibernation. LOL How was your Feb 14?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Feb 14 was spent inside a donut shop with a box of donut and cup of coffee. Nothing special. But I found it amusing to look at couples having their dates inside the donut shop, complete with a bouquet and all. I thought of how cheap the guys are, but whatever makes them happy. How was yours?

    Haha. I never believe in those sparks flying, music playing in the background sort of things but the bees in your tummy, maybe. I knew I had one of those before, but eventually they flew and what was left was drama. I never liked that part very much. Hay. You made me remember nasty stuff there. Boo. I guess I'm yet to meet that MONUMENTAL person as well.

    HMM. let's change subject shall we? I find this too melodramatic.

    So anyways, You have someone to settle down in the wild with? Wow, I almost forgot about your sweet talking skills. Nicely done. I just hope you'd still have internet connection up on your tree house or whatever architectural marvel you settle on building in the middle of the forest. I don't want to miss out on the stories, ok? Wild boar hunting or Crocodile wresting, those kinds would be lovely to hear about.

    Do you like Hey Arnold?

  50. "My Very Enlightening Hibernation" Bow.

    My Feb 14 was crappy achy sweaty!
    To a crazy hot south of Manila from Kyoto where it's chilly
    An ankle sprain from Sat's football game got me limping
    Couldn't go out so not a momentous thing was happening
    Planning to check out some nearby clubs and pubs later on
    They have massive malls here but I'm not into shopathon
    So I spent my Valentine's just observing from our terrace
    Eating a heart-shaped choco cake (from Mum) and some Frito Lay's
    There's a bunch of pink roses on the bar countertop
    But they're exclusively for Mum. Crap.
    The internet here is relatively slower. It takes ages.
    Got a couple of creepy PMs and some sweet messages
    Re-watching "127 Hours" and "Cast Away" whilst ankle-massaging
    After it, I felt very nauseous and swore off crustaceans (?)
    But I learned a sweet lesson from the ending of that Fed Ex film:
    There's a "Bettina" for everyone, it seems.

    "My Very Enlightening Hibernation" Bow.

    Pretty boring, innit? Don't mind the syllable count and rhyme. I suck at poetry.

    Hey, I LOVE "Hey Arnold!". That brave, little football-headed dork was my childhood hero! Apart from the bratty Little Lulu, that is. My fave ep was with the Pigeon Man (he looked like a proper exhibitionist, ey?) 14 years ago. Haha! Gosh, I miss the porches and the baseball games. I wanted to strangle Helga G. Pataki with a shoelace back then. She reminded me way too much of my monster of a babysitter.

    And, oh, you'll defo be posted. I'm thinking about crocodile-wrestling now. And swinging from trees, definitely. I should probably warn her about this now. Haha.

    I am very nosey and, ahem, sensitive but will try to ignore the "nasty stuff" if you're not willing to share. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  51. WHAT?!? Strangle Helga G. Pataki? I say no. no. no. That's just awful. She was my favorite character. My favorite unibrow and IT girl. I do question her love for Arnold though. How can she "like-like" that softy football head? Haha. Seems like we're against each other on this one?

    Goodness, I miss those Nick Shows. Wild Thornberrys, Ren and Stimpy, As Told by Ginger, Rugrats. Childhood!

    With regards to your Valentine's Day poem. I honestly was "rapping" in my head while reading it. Kudos! Haha.

    but I have to point this out:
    Re-watching "127 Hours" and "Cast Away" whilst ankle-massaging
    After it, I felt very nauseous and swore off crustaceans

    In the words of Scott Pilgrim the Great: "That doesn't even rhyme!".

    I wonder how many "I love you"s were there? in those creepy PMS that you got. Tsk tsk. So ego size now up to seven Texases?

    Haha. On the nasty stuff: We'll see how it goes, those are meant to be discussed over cups of Joes.

    ReplyDelete
  52. "We'll see how it goes, those are meant to be discussed over cups of Joes." <- Well, well, well . . . Someone knows how to rhyme, eh?

    I told you I suck at it but do you have to rub it in? Haha.

    Got a few "How dare you"s as well so it wasn't so ego-inflating. LOL Kidding.

    And, oh, can you blame me though? My babysitter was a mare! My Pataki-hating was warranted at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hey NotSam! Looks like you're into writing once more.

    Since you're a killer combination of sweet-talking and fluff writing, can you suggest things that I should do in this situation:

    I met a girl tonight!!! that gave me butterflies and made me climb a wall in record time. Haha. Met her in a rock climbing place. Must be a member or an instructor or something of that sort. Gah. Maybe this would turn out as one of those unrequited love things (oh God no!). Haha.

    Anyways, enough of that gushing. You compared you're babysitter to a horse? haha. I wonder what she did to you as a child. Must have been harsh for you to hold that kind of grudge.

    Do you give names to your belongings? i.e. computer, etc... Just curious

    ReplyDelete
  54. Hi, Mushy AS! Yes, I was inspired by our convo actually. The talk about Mount Fuji had me thinking of bygone days and some sweet ol' scenes. LOL But, yea, just hoping I don't get jaded right away. My attention span is horrendous.

    RE: Rock-climbing chick - I say, GO FOR IT! Did she give any positive, suggestive gestures or words yet? Oh, my, I'm a bit giddy now. Maybe strike a casual convo with her first. Get to know her better. See if there's a connection, then maybe you can work your way up. You'll know if she's giving off the same vibe or if she's well into you. Did you make a move already? Or did she? Don't put caveats into something you haven't gone for yet. Think positive, Mushy AS. You never know; perhaps she felt those butterflies, too. Perhaps she is your "Bettina". Haha. Gambare!

    Answer: My red vintage bicycle is named "Jude Law". I named it the same moment my BFF named his "Jennifer Aniston". Haha! True story.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Ooh, so should I expect that the next posts would contain semi-true to life events of NotSam? Come on, hopefully the amount of cheers from your readers are enough to keep you going right?

    I don't know bout the positive signs. I am so rusty, more than a year of singledom didn't do me any good. Haha. She was my belayer. Nothing's more binding than having your life on someone else's hands eh? We did struck up a conversation but I had to leave early, bummer. Thinking of going back there.

    What's "gambare"? Haha.

    Oh I would love one of those bicycles but city life won't permit me to. So crushing on Jude Law, I see. I can't blame you, he's really good at giving euphemisms.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Not really TTL. They're mushy-fied scenes of my bygone experiences. LOL Just the setting and some weird bits there. Also my sprained ankle and Cast Away were an inspiration. Haha.

    Oh, yes. The belayers. I had to cut off my relationship with my first belayer 'cos he was a complete dick. Everyone hated him. The third and still my favourite climbing buddy though is a sweet, little girl. But it's been a couple of years since my last real climb. I usually just hit the indoor sport-climbing spots. Was that your first rock climb? I must say, rock-climbing is way tougher and takes a lot of mental control.

    You should go back and test the waters. Haha!

    "Gambare!" is a Japanese expression meaning "You can do it!/Do your best!/Stay positive [in dealing with a challenge]!".

    Yea, Jude Law was my crush like TEN YEARS AGO! Haha! If I could rename my bike, I'd christen it "Katy Perry" or something.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hello there no-mush-NotSam(who writes ultra-sappy posts)!

    Yup, first outdoor climb. I do indoor sport-climbing also but not on a regular in a club basis, more of just for fun. Last time, I think, was a year and a half ago. Let's go together sometime, when you're not too busy having a sprained ankle. Haha

    So, I was supposed to go back today but wasn't able to because I had to run errands for my dear mother(lame right?). I'll find time to go and meet her, just you wait. Hopefully, I could channel some of your skills and hold a conversation longer than 10mins. I can be quite an anti-social, I tell you.

    Haha. thanks for the Jap101.

    Why? Do you have any problem 2011 Jude Law?

    Next Question:
    Why is a raven like a writing desk?
    Kidding. Just realized this convo is nearing the span of two months. I'm kinda surprised that you're not yet bored (or are you? Haha.)

  58. Hiya, Mushy AS!

    Cringe-making, innit? I'm so sorry. But nothing's better than seeing Emily and Naomi teasing each other. LOL There's just a lot to write about them, lots of ways on how you can make the two play. I'm currently writing about an ankle sprain that I would project to Emily. So expect some ankle drama.

    Yea, we could be both belayers to each other. I mean, that's how it really works, right? Unless you can handle it by yourself. Haha. So will I see you around the Nameless Tower in Pakistan very soon?

    No. I don't have a huge problem with Jude Law other than his awful receding hairline! Hahaha. Yech.

    You know the other readers that I got matey with also give that "Had to run errands for mum" excuses. And it's just so amusing. I mean, seriously? Who runs errands anymore?

    Some tips: Flattery is always good for the soul. And show your caring side. I don't know about you, but for me show me a little care and sweetness and you've successfully gotten past my entry-level. Haha. Actually I was tempted to think this certain someone was my soulmate just because that person sent me a message with tips on how to effectively treat my ankle sprain. It was sweet. My bones were melting. HAHA!

    Answer: Huh?
    Answer: Not really. You're fun so all is good. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'm not bluffing, seriously ran some errands. More of did the grocery and cooked for her visiting classmates from abroad.

    Noted on the flattery. Will surely make comments on how strong her arms are! Haha.

    Oooh, looks like you're having an interesting vacation. Someone's melting your bones. How does that feel? I mean, I know about melting hearts but melting bones? Is that like knees getting weak or something?

    I won't argue with the Jude Law receding hairline. That is just tragic.

    Okei on the Nameless Tower, all we have to do is set the date and the climb is on. (Although an indoor climb and grab snacks after would be lovely as well?) I don't really fancy a 127hour-esque scenario in the Pakistani region.

    On you answer: Haha. Really can't think of a question so just threw the first riddle that came to mind. Mad Hatter really knows how to pick the mind.

    On your second answer: ooh a wink emoticon. Glad to know that you think I'm fun. Uhm.. You're fun as well? Haha. Nah. I think you're the most interesting person I've ever had the chance to correspond with. (how's that for flattery? more practice, sensei?)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Hm. I'm so jealous now. I have a very dreadful relationship with my kitchen. Could only make tortillas de patatas, deviled eggs and a couple of Italian pasta recipes. That's all. What's your specialty?

    RE: Bones melting - Yea, pretty much. Such a good feeling. Mmm.

    I actually think the "127 Hours-esque" scenario is rather exhilarating. I would be up for that. There's the two of us so you don't have to worry about cutting your own arm. I'll do the slicing for you (with a katana). LOL Just joking. Nah, I will try to come up with less bloody ways, I promise. I wouldn't want to hurt you. ;) (<- Here goes another wink LOL)

    Good one there. Ye're learning from the master, eh?

    Don't make me start with my sweet-talking AKA killer lines or you won't be able to sleep for a whole week from blushing, melting bones, and giggling nonstop, I swear. HAHAHA!

  61. Well my specialty is.... I can grill a mean piece of Steak! Haha. There goes the steak again.

    I kinda knew you would go for that extreme limb cutting option but why would I be the one to loose an arm? I'm pretty confident about my outdoor skills, I highly doubt an accident involving me. In that case, I promise to bring a spliff or two. It can be your anesthesia. See, I really care, I'll even go illegal just to lessen your (future)pain.

    Ha. there goes the humongous ego talking.

    Come on, take your best sweet-talking shot. A few sleepless nights won't hurt. Plus you'll never know, maybe those killer lines would be useful in the future. haha.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Oh, yea, I forgot I was talking to the steak master here. Funnily enough, the Vegan Steak Queen.

    I'm sorry for my harsh assumption, really. I just assumed it was you because there's no way in hell the damsel in distress would be me either. I'm programmed for worst-case scenarios, you know. LOL But apparently you are, too, so I need not worry then. We'll do just fine. And those spliffs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    No, seriously, don't make me. I care about your well-being, Mushy AS. I don't want you to suffer from heart arrythmia and insomnia and get horrible zits from it.

  63. Hi NotSam, looks like I have to visit a UPS branch soon eh?

    Not exactly vegan, more of lacto-vegetarian. Don't be fooled though, I may be an expert on prime ribs, T-bone and fillet-mignon but I could also whip up a lovely plate of italian and asian cuisine. Oh and also some lovely spicy chicken wings.

    And on your sweet-talking: Ok, if you say so...

    What's your say on Peanut Butter and chocolates? We have a love-hate relationship, me and Reese's.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Looks like you have to, yes. Haha. But you don't really have to, seriously. I just feel bad for you that you lost again this year. You should really believe me when I say: "Oscar is an Anglophile." So next year, think thoroughly about your choices. Haha. "Figjam?" "Present!!!"

    Lacto-vegetarian? Haha. Well that makes sense if you're into chocolates. But just no eggs, eh? Isn't it tough though? I mean, doesn't it suck not being able to eat EVERYTHING?

    Now, wow. Italian and Asian cuisine are my faves. I love noodles so I'm really into Chinese and Italian and Jap ramen. Mum's Filipino and Spanish cooking are terriblemente deliciosas.

    RE: Reese's - Oh, God. I love those peanut butter cups! So you hate PB or something?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Awwww. You manage to be sweet and cocky at the same time. You're very talented indeed. Haha. I actually didn't loose against my friend since I got the other nominations right and we both chose TSN to win best pic. But my heart still aches for David Fincher, best direction should've been given to him! haha. Anyways, I won't sour grape and just give you your chocolates.

    since I doubt an exchange of addresses being made, here is your Godiva:

    http://bit.ly/frB6PH

    It's not tough for me but tough for my friends or date. Haha. It takes a long while before we could make up our minds on which restaurant to eat. But I remember cheating. Its been a year and I think I cheated twice already.

    I don't like Chinese that much but I do love some of their dimsum. Have you tried Taro Puffs? I used to love those.

    Sometimes I crave for them, other times I loathe those peanut butter cups. Never consistent.

  66. I hate that I can't edit.
    here's a better link:

  67. I don't have a permanent address. That's the thing. I swear if I could just give you one. I'd probably be sand-surfing on Mars next week. Or I'd be jumping mine after mine in Cambodia. No racism intended.

    Lady Godiva in 2D still looked scrumptious. And the fact that you placed an Oscar next to it made it more golden. LOL. That was just the sweetest thing! I'm impressed. Thank you, Mushy AS.

    I have to point out, though, that I HATE PINK. Haha. I just use a lot of pink in this blog so the colour would grow on me. But, still, thanks. It was a lovely prize. Totally deserved that. LOL Figjam-ing! So I'd probably just stare at the photo and eat my Belgian choco seashells. Different taste but could pass.

    Taro puffs? Naw. Those are different from the little paos, right?

    ReplyDelete
  68. No permanent address? Too bad, I've been meaning to hunt you down the south of Manila and watch outside your window ala Taxi Driver. Totally Kidding. Promise!

    I'd take that 'How Original' as a compliment. Its a big one, especially coming from a figjam like yourself. Haha. And you're totally welcome, sweet-talking NotSam.

    'Naw' that's a 'no' right? Anyways, Taro puffs are pork mixture wrapped in crispy-fried-net-like taro. Really Yummy. I have a favorite Chinese restaurant that serves great dimsum, maybe I'd bring you there one day after the Nameless Tower gig?

    All this talking about food made me want to eat a taro puff. so not cool.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Haha. Have you seen SNL's "The Creep"? That MV was awesome. LOL I love some action in my boring life so I wouldn't mind you planning to hunt me down. But you'll definitely have a difficult time, Mushy AS.

    Thank you. That sweet-talking one-liner was just the tip of my cajoling iceberg. Haha. If I want to be really sweet, I could make you crumble to sugary pieces and get mobbed by black ants. Haha. Totally figjam-ing here but totally FACT-serving.

    That taro puff sounds rather weird. I don't know if I would eat that.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Is this your subtle way of telling me I'm a creepster? Haha. But yeah, I've seen that one. True story, Me and my ex were dancing to it a few weeks ago and someone was looking outside the bedroom window. All we could see was a shadow. Turns out it was her creepy niece. And voila, we found our third member!

    You have a boring life? My life's so boring, I sometimes want to create my own drama. You know, runaway ala Huck Finn or something. Haha. Tragic.

    Taro puffs are not weird! Try it first then tell me if it's good or not. I dare you. I see you as someone who does not back out of a dare, Am I right?

    Ooh that gave me an idea. You say your life's boring right? Well as I've said, mine as well. So why don't we put a stir to it. You up for a dare game? nothing complex, just simple dares and proof.

    ReplyDelete
  71. No, I didn't mean it like that. Haha. That sort of creepster way just reminded me of the video. LOL But I wouldn't mind being crept out by you. Hahahaha. ;) Winky. Haha! That creepy niece is my hero! OMG, you creepy froot loops just corrupted her brain. She's supposed to be an innocent little girl! WHY?!?

    Oh, yea. The thirst for great adventures! That reminds of my next post which shall be talking about sailing off to some faraway place. So I just signed up a couple of days ago for a Canadian Rocky Adventure with a reader/mate. Can't wait for that. Should be better than just being a stow away. LOL

    Where do I get those taro puffs, though?

    Yes. Put some juice to it. Please. I'm up for anything. Bring it on.

    Anyway, are you watching Idol 10? I had an OMG Moment! Goosebumps. Stefano Langone looked like this sweet guy I dated (for a long time). Only taller. Even the speaking voice! OMG MOMENT!

    ReplyDelete
  72. That was fast. Trying to make me blush there, are you? A little bit more ans it might work. Haha.

    Innocent girl? I doubt it. She stares at me for a very long time, stays silent and just runs whenever I'm going towards her. I think she's the perfect little creep.

    Why do I feel mocked by the 'better than just being a stow away.' line? Haha. But what I meant by the running away thing is that to create something for the books. Not just some vacation, but more of drama with a mixture of uncertainty to what will happen next. Did that make any sense? I think I've seen too many films.

    Taro Puffs are kind of a dimsum staple, so I guess your local tea house would serve that. Google might willingly help.

    Nope, I don't watch idol but youtube tells me he's a real buff guy. So you go for muscle's eh?

    On the little dare game, I think rules should be laid down, Agree?
    Rule number one, each dare should have a picture as proof with initials AS or IANS written on a piece of paper in frame.(should not include anything that would give hint of location and face) I'd like to keep the anonymity. Haha. I think its kind of cool.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Oh, and what's your rule?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Oh, you don't want fast, eh?

    I'm not mocking you. LOL. But your explanation is a bit movie-like, yes. Movies. How you wish they could be real. I totally zoned out on that one. Haha

    I'm not trying to make you blush, but if you feel like it then you're free to do so. I'm only saying that you intrigue me, Mushy AS. And you make me smile. You're fun and sweet and I think you have such a tremendous positive emotion of regard and affection to give. I think you're one of those people who the more someone gets to know, the more she would want to know. If you were tangible, she would want to be around you all the time.

    Did that work? Ooooh, Mushy AS is blushing. Hahaha ;)

    Answer: I don't really go for muscles. Although most of the guys I dated fall in that Alpha-male, prince charming on a white horse category. I just like sweet. Sweet and caring, like I said. Because I'm a bit of the reckless bad-ass one. LOL

    And why are we wasting time laying down rules? Just bring on the dares! Haha

    ReplyDelete
  75. Just taking notice but not really complaining. Feel free to increase speed.

    So here's what happened while reading that 3rd paragraph:
    First sentence- ok, ok, if you say so.
    Second- Aww. sweet. Really, I tickled someone's curiosity?
    Third- Oh my! Blush on the verge of creeping out of cheeks.
    Fourth- But then my sweet-talking alarm came to life. And then all I could think of was, wow she's good but I'm totally not believing this.
    Fifth-Sixth - I thought you could be the president of the sweet-talking club!

    So there, nope, I think being aware of your 'making me blush' intentions are keeping me safe from the sweet-talking. Maybe.

    Well, rules, just so you wouldn't dare me to jump somebody or maybe dive the Mariana trench.

    But yeah, I almost forgot about your love for defying rules. So bar rules - did you eat the taro puffs already? if not, do that then give me a dare. I know its simple but I like to start small.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Hahaha! Totally LOLed at your breakdown. Hahaha! I should have known better and didn't put such disclaimers. It would've worked. Craaaaap.

    "Pres. of Sweet-talking Club"? Now, that's a compliment. Haha. But I don't sweet-talk just to have a laugh. I sort of mean them too, you know. Haha. But I really like how you don't beat around the bush. I like that you don't pussyfoot me. So that makes you really interesting. Did anyone ever tell you you're intriguing?

    Okay. Enough of that. You won't believe me, anyway. Pfft. So I don't know if I will ever find those taro puffs in these parts (I don't even know what they call it here!). I'll try tonite or tomoz so don't expect a result right away.

    Rules: There shall be no ounce of blood to be shed. I might be hemophiliac.

    And from now on I should probably tone down a little bit 'cos apparently other people are reading our exchange of messages here and I don't want to further embarrass myself. Haha!

    To LURKER/s: You know who you are . . . Hi! I'm a really nice, really lovable and really gentle person inside. Don't believe all the bollocks that come out of my fingers here. LOL And Mushy AS is really an intriguing creature. Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Two month's worth of exchange and still not being able to ask if you like "Star Wars". If that's not beating around the bush, then I don't know what is.

    And no, I don't think anyone has ever mentioned my capability to intrigue. You're the first one NotSam or I just have a real bad memory bank.

    Well goodluck on finding the dimsum. On your rule: good, I really don't fancy blood as well. On zombies, yes, but not on me.

    Really, other people bother to read this? How'd you know that? Well maybe your messages, cause you're pretty popular in this part of the world-wide-web.

    Uhm, so yeah... to anyone: Hello, you're reached the winter of our discontent.

  78. Lurker7.3.11

    I feel like I'm interrupting here.. So sorry. But hiya AS! Very nice to meet you! *shakes hand

    And shush IANS, please feel free to be yourself still. There was nothing remotely embarrassing that was said. It was purely for entertainment purposes to accompany me whilst doing laundry. LOL your fault anyway since Haven's still under construction. Haha just kidding, you know I <3 you. And as if you care anyway. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  79. @Mushy AS: Still looking for those TARO PUFFS!!! So hard in these parts. I'll try again later tonite. Haha. And I'm so sorry that was really weird. I was really embarrassed because some people now call me the President of the Sweet-talking Club, it's insane! LOL

    @Lurker: OMG. You did NOT, really. This is so embarrassing. *blushes like real badly* But I'm up for that challenge. I'll show you.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Hey NotSam, I'm still waiting for that dare. No hurries though, take your time and find that elusive Chinese dish. Just a little update, climber chick is totally totally straight. Sucks.

    And yeah that was a little weird. For a moment there I forgot that this can be read by everyone, good thing I didn't spill too much emotionally embarrassing crap. With that --

    Hello to you to Lurker, enchanté. :)

  81. Please ignore my typographical errors. I'm not dumb, promise.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I think I already know where to find it. A friend of mine gave me tips. Haha. Wait for it!

    And aww . . . I actually thought there would be some developments there. But, you know what they say: All girls are like spaghetti: Straight until wet. Haha! I didn't mean for that to be pervy, but it came out a little weird. But maybe you could up your game? Use some of my lines. LOL

    Yea, I thought so too. I got a bit surprised when I was called Prez of Sweet-talking club and I was like craaaap. They saw it. And now they knew better and wouldn't be fooled so thanks to this thread, I'm going to end up lonely. LOL Cheers, Mushy AS!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Straight until wet? Haha. Did you quote that from somewhere or did you conjure that lovely line all by yourself? It sure sounded uhm... for lack of a better term, dirrty. That mission is fully aborted. No need to pursue any further. Don't mistake that for quitting, ok? But yeah, you're lines are now safe in my sweet-talking arsenal. In time, they would be put to good use.

    Doubt it. You won't end being lonely. Haha. But I won't enumerate the reasons cause you might say that I'm trying to make you blush (that sounded really familiar.weird).

    ReplyDelete
  84. Shite, i forgot to give an answer to your long overdue query . . .

    FACTS: IANS has the complete Star Wars movie series collection in her DVD rack. She spent her idle time in an airport researching about how Baron Soontir Fel is related to Commander Wedge Antilles. And had described a day using Star Wars metaphors - Like how Osaka rainshowers felt cold like the dark soul of Darth Sidious and how it felt slimy against my skin like Jabba the Hutt's greasy, lardaceous body.

    ISSUE: Whether or not IANS is a Star Wars dork.

    RULING: YES. Absolutely, utterly, without a doubt, a Star Wars DORKster.

    LOL. Sorry, I'm just a little hung over with my brother's cases. I was digesting cases about special proceeding actions the whole day yesterday when I wasn't updating.

    Re: "Dirrty" line - I got it from somewhere, I swear. Haha.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I asked you about Star Wars, why would I? I'm not even a fan of that franchise. Kidding. Do you really want to go into a detailed discussion of these films? That would solidify our place in the geek kingdom.

    Is there a dissenting opinion for that ruling?

    What happened to your chat box? I just noticed the changes done in your side bar. Nice work on the music corner, I'm currently obsessed with Bon Iver. How bout you? Who's your favorite at the moment?

    ReplyDelete
  86. There's something wrong with the cbox website and it takes ages to load the chatbox. So I took it off temporarily.

    Re: Music - I love Jeremy Ashida and anything folk-pop/bluegrass. I'm into Nickel Creek since forever.
    and Adele is pure honey! Haha. I love her singles right now. What about you? Yea, I kind of dig Bon Iver too. He's awesome.

    Even if there is a dissenting opinion the original ruling that I'm a Star Wars dorkster will prevail. It's not binding. LOL

    And I would really like to tone down this geekiness. I'm losing my fans. LOL Kidding! Cheers, Mushy AS!

    Random Rant: The next special is doing my head in. Argh. So tough to write. It's soooo long! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  87. It's always hard to get into someone else's head, use their voice, and write their actions. I guess that is the reason why you have "fans", cause you're so good at it. Truth, I struggle in writing, I always end up using my own voice and not get into the character. Anyways, that ramble probably didn't help but to summarize - get yo act together, people are waiting for that update! Haha. But no pressure at all from my end. :)

    I am in awe of myself right now. I swear, I was seriously drunk from a lot of margarita when I typed that last comment. I'm just surprised that I made SOME sense.

    Yes. Adele! I love also love her and I embarrassingly belt out her songs in my bath. Moving on, I plan to type something else but I'm running late. Gotta run NotSam!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Too right. I felt like freaking zombie after writing "Rapids". It was like the craziest one I've ever written because Naomi's just a fickle, indecisive, extremely confused character. Even I got a little confused halfway. I was like WTF am I writing? Will she be hatin' or obsessin'? LOL

    Haha. I love it when people message me intoxicated. But I gotta give you a high five for that decent msg. Haha.Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  89. So I'm giving myself a break and checking for your updates! It's up! So scanning through it... there's Emily Blunt! Haha. So you've seen My Summer of Love? What's your take on Tamsin's character?

    I just realized, I've messaged you when I was MORE than intoxicated. So its really not surprising that my message was decent.

    So what happened to that dare, ha? And can I rant as well? I'm totally loosing my sense of fun (does it translate to text?), alienation at work creeping in. Haha. Grilled Geezus.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Dear NotSam, please ignore my extensive use of exclamation points in the previous comment. That was me trying to sound ecstatic. fail.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I haven't seen the whole movie. But I know Emily Blunt's character was a mind-fucker. And it has a really twisted (in a dark way) sort of ending? LOL I'm not sure if I could stomach watching that. Tamsin's Emily or is she the pale blond girl?

    Yea, I have a Flip reader here who's taking me to this place where they have those puffs (accdg to her) . . . Just hope it tastes good or you shall . . . be punished. Haha! Just kidding.

    What's that rant about? An officemate from hell? Tell me who it is and I'll beat him/her up for you. I'll send in my gas mask-wearing troop of clown soldiers and freak the fuck out of these people. LOL I hate violence, you know.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Emily Blunt is Tamsin. It is kind of a subtle mind fuck movie. Yep, the ending... not to spoil you or anything but I didn't find it too twisted (a dark twisted ending for me would be like Von Trier's "Anti-christ"). It was a bit of a shock but I mostly sad about it.

    Haha. So you have a date? I think this certain reader has to thank me for that. When would this be?

    Sorry about the rant. Came out of nowhere. NOPE, its not about an officemate from hell. I think I'm the officemate from hell. Haha. The one everyone hates because I'm super good at everything(Figjam?). But yeah, basically the rant is because of the fact that I hate offices. As in, I don't being in one but I have to for the money. Repetition, routine bores me to hell.

    Oops, that's me ranting again. But thanks anyway for that violent suggestion. If ever you send out your clown troops, please give me a heads up, ok? I'm freakin scared of clowns.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I make mistakes, I eat cakes.

    The corrections of AS:

    1. insert I'm instead of I in paragraph 1 sentence 4

    2. insert the word like in between don't and being in paragraph 3 sentence 7

    ReplyDelete
  94. Sorry for flooding, NotSam. I just scrolled up and saw Heartbeats by Ellie Goulding. It reminded me of my favorite song by the Knife. Then I listened to it, and it was a version of that song! Wah. Not stanning the Knife but I couldn't help but react to it. Have you heard of the Knife's version? I swear I could be Karin Andersson's slave. Anyways, also try Jose Gonzalez's version of the song if you're not into the electronic shiz.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Wow. That "shocker" of an ending didn't make it more watch-able for me. So no thankyouverymuch. LOL

    And I really gotta deploy those clown soldiers FOR YOU! Maybe you're a pain in the eye to work with, eh? Haha! But I don't blame you. I, too, cannot stomach desk jobs and repetition at work (that's why I prefer to be a wandering nomad). It bores me to death, too! And I didn't quite expect that you're working already. Sorry. I thought you were still in uni. Haha! Don't hate me.

    Wow. I'm incredibly surprised that you're familiar with The Knife. Yep, they are sick! Like seriously awesomely ill. Actually I did springboard from Jose Gonzales. I was gonna use his but thought that since we have heroines here, Ellie's would fit the Naomily story more. And I do love J.G's ver! The Knife's too loud for the melancholic mood of the blog so I gotta say no to that. And, oh, I enjoy electronic so there you go.

    Yes, actually we really do have you to thank there. At least we had some sort of goal for the night. We went to this Chinese resto a couple of nights ago (we went out last night too so I didn't get to upload sooner) and . . . and . . . PRESTO! =>

  96. Do I sound brash and juvenile? Haha. Yep, I'm currently working but I feel like I stopped maturing at the age of 17. Oh, you don't know how old I am, ha? You'll never know, maybe I'm a middle aged lady. Complete with a bulging muffin top and wrinkles all over.

    I think this office job is really temporary. I prefer to work on my own terms and time. I can't count how many times I cringed(inside) whenever officemates talk about how they enjoy our job. I mean, how? why? we do the same thing over and over. RANTING AGAIN.

    Anyways The Knife, oh the Knife.. I am in love with Karin and I can't express how much. Haha. Why sound so surprised? Did I ever give you the impression that I won't like such kind of music?

    Wow, a series of dates! giddy giddy, how were those dates? Does this certain reader, uhm read this thread? Nice touch on the pic and message, it really shows your creativity. Haha. How was the puffs? So now its my turn, what's it gonna be then? Bring it on, NotSam.

    ReplyDelete
  97. That's the real funny thing here, you know. We don't know the basic things about us. We've like talked about all sorts of random things ranging from gastronomic to to Oscars to geekish and yet I don't know the simplest things about you, Mushy AS. And you probably aren't aware that I'm actually a 67-year old male Krispy Kreme doughnut eating champion with moobs and tangerine-dyed treasure trail. LOL

    I assumed you don't work because you never spoke of work. I assumed you aren't familiar with The Knife because you never talked about music (except for that Bon Iver bit). So now I'm guessing you're probably around my age because we do like the same things (to the point that I was practically falling in love with you if you were actually sweet and caring and if you're a real human LOL). I'm 22, by the way. Feel free to correct me. Because I do would like to KNOW YOU.

    A certain lurker was right. I don't really kiss and tell. But I did feel the Kaboom. Not the Kablam yet. And I doubt "certain reader" knows about this thread as she haven't mentioned anything. I really hope she doesn't know about this Haha! Or I'll be dayumed.

    I dare you to eat three bananas whilst upside-down. LOL Just joking. OK. I dare you to ink a part of your body with something. Don't care if it's temporary or permanent. LOL This is fairly easy, you see

    ReplyDelete
  98. Hopefully you'll take my word for this, I've never lied in this thread. I don't plan on starting now so yes we're more or less the same age and that tangerine-dyed treasure trail gave me goose pimples.

    I'm also not lying when I say I blushed while reading your parenthetical statement. You're mean, you know that? Never say those phrases when you're not serious. Not nagging, just saying I might take it seriously. Yes, I'm a real human dear! Not sure though if I'm sweet and caring. Some say yes but most people say I'm a bitch.

    Hmm. Well I was actually pondering on the idea of getting inked, so this dare is very timely. I just don't know what, yet. In any case, will it be alright if i send you a bloody pic of my ink? Haha.

    ReplyDelete
  99. So how old are you exactly? And what type of work do you do? Fill me in.

    Like I would always say, I may have a crazy record for sweet-talking people but I never, ever tell them things I didn't mean. Haha But aww . . . that sucks. I'm already a bad, bad girl. LOL. So we'd probably have some problems with that. Shoot.

    Anyway, I forgot to tell you how much I enjoyed those taro puffs. Although, they're so freaking greasy! Haha! I felt like I had enough after three or four bites. LOL

    RE: dare - You can do whatever you want, hun. And I don't really find any problem with seeing a bloody photo. But perhaps you do? Are you sure about getting a permanent one, though? I mean, that's like for, according to Rob Fitch, "a long time". You certain about this?

    ReplyDelete
  100. I think I have to retract my previous statement, so I have lied once in this thread. Sorry. Can't say which one though.

    So on to the question and answer portion -

    Age: 22
    What I do: writer in a conveyor belt. (Don't worry, I do take my grammar seriously. Sometimes)
    What I really do: Sit in front of my computer and pretend I have an interesting life. Haha.

    Geez do you really want to know things about me? I think those are dangerous territories NotSam.

    I didn't understand the part where you said we'd have problems. With what exactly? with you being a 'bad, bad girl'? Explain please, was probably brain dead for a moment.

    What did you expect with the puffs? Its pork, and its chinese. I miss them already!

    Re: question re: dare - I don't have a problem with blood. I think. But I was traumatized when Meg Ryan cut out a man's chest and pumped his heart manually in 'City of Angels'. That scene made me queasy with blood. Honestly, it won't be my first time to make a permanent commitment. So yeah no prob with having it for 'a long time'. Funny thing, my ex told me before that she doesn't like tattoos because she doesn't like long term commitments. And I don't know why I said that statement.

    Anyways... I'm the one who's supposed to be asking questions right? Hence the name? So if you were to flavor tequila with any fruit you like? What and why? Haha.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Interesting. And weird. Haha What kind of stuff do you write? I want to read.

    Yet, I still believe you do have an interesting life. And I want to know more about you. I take my chances.

    And, uhm, ignore the brain-deadening part. I just tend to overthink things, you know. Haha Especially when I'm high (on teqs and love LOL).

    Oh, sheesh, yes, I do remember that morbid scene. But I so adore that movie. And zomg! were you engaged before??? Hahahah

    And are you trying to taunt me with that line? Your ex and I would get along so well. Just sayin'. Haha

    Answer: Cantaloupe. Because . . . because I just love cantaloupes—juicy and sweet and I think it will taste good mixed w/ Patron. Sorry, I know you're expecting some sort of a witty answer but that's the only one I can give you right now (Lemme think again tomoz). I still feel a bit groggy. Slept at 5am from an intense rollercoaster night with my secret lover. Yes. The slot machine. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  102. I write nonsensical stuff for work. Like I said, its part of a conveyor belt so there's nothing really worth showing you. All meaningless at the end of the day. Can you sense how much I loath my work? Haha.

    And what made you believe I have an interesting life? Re: things about me - Fine, its your choice, we'll see where this dangerous road lead us. Haha. Plus I think you already know pretty much a lot about me.

    This is me ignoring... ignoring... ignoring... There, I ignored the brain-deadening part for sometime. Now, what did you mean by problems again?

    Haha. City of Angels. That movie made me sob as a kid, and to think love was such a foreign concept back then. Uhm engagement, uhm no.

    Why, did I struck a nerve there NotSam? I think there's a big difference with not being able to embrace commitment and not meeting the right person/thing/whatever to commit to. Pfft. I also have the feeling that you two would get along.

    Cantaloupe flavored tequila sounds weird! Haha. I just want to ask, Do you know Paolo Nutini? If not, I think you might like him. Last Request and the whole first album. Just sayin'.

  103. Nonsensical. Tssss. I don't buy that.

    Yep, yep. I know Nutini! I love his "These Streets" and his "Pencil Full of Lead" MV was sick! It was outrageously good. It's my brother's fault why I'm so familiar with this type of artists. He's a musician, you see. And he taught me how to ACTUALLY play the guitar (Little story: I first taught him how to strum but after a few weeks, he just morphed into a guitar freak. So much better than his supposed-to-be mentor LOL). But I love him and I'm proud of him and I think he will be big someday. Haha. Talk about bro suck up. LOL Damn, I can think straight now. Just had a shot of Patron and a bottle of beer last night so I'm sane. Good job to me.

    You did hit a nerve, I'm telling you. You did. Trust me. LOL

    I know pretty much a lot about you? Well, then, it's about time I show you pretty much a lot about me.

    I gotta come clean . . . I was arrested for drug possession with a couple of my friends (TWICE) before and was sent to rehab by my family for a good five months. I was stupid and the rave was stupid. But it's all good now. How's that for sharing, eh. LOL

  104. And, oh, I don't really mind crossing borders to dangerous territories. I'm all for the crazy ride. ;)



    And, double oh, I was totally lying in my last paragraph. Happy April Fools. LOL I can't help it. I'm just bad. Hahaha.

  105. Pfft. You really thought I'd fell for that? If you didn't place a disclaimer at the end, my "Yeah right?!" would've had more impact.

    So what exactly do you want to know NotSam?

    ReplyDelete
  106. Besides being in front of your computer and pretending you have an interesting life, what else eats up your time? Like what else do you do? Do you play music or sports?

    And was there ever a day when you look up at the sky and count the different hues of blue? Or do you even bother to wonder about how many times activities go in sync in this world - i.e. people winking, thugs saying the F-word, dogs sniffing through boxer briefs, stuff like that?

    ReplyDelete
  107. Besides checking for your replies? Well since I started working, my time has been eaten up by writing and internet surfing. Before that, I drink, party, bum around, draw, paint, shoot photos and watch A LOT of movies. I do play sports - volleyball, softball, basketball, track and field. All in high school. I did play a couple of friendly football games back in Uni. A professor/friend of mine asked me If I could indulge his football fantasies. Haha.

    I do wonder about being in someone else's head. Not becoming someone else but being in his/her head. I also wonder about the contradictions in my life. I won't bother typing them all. It's a long list. I like staring at people. Sometimes I get into trouble from staring too long. I also consider it rude but I can't help being interested in mannerisms or even observing the way they move about in their daily activities. And I like walking alone and being alone, but I also get abnormally uncomfortable at the thought of solitude (as I've said, I contradict myself)

    Anything else?

  108. When you wrote there "football fantasies" I initially thought of "Football Fantasy" the online game! LOL I love that. Wow that's a lot of sports at the same time, eh? You must have athlete legs.

    Wow. That's deep. And a bit insane. LOL And staring at people? That's really interesting.I also have a friend a bit like Luna Lovegood. Sometimes she'll just stare at you and you never know what she's thinking. Perhaps pondering on how to go about clawing your eyes out. That's really frightening. LOL Very interesting self-assessment. I wish I knew myself that profoundly.

    Why do you think the past tense of "dare" is changed from "durst" to "dared"? And do you really believe that "Durst" is a surname? Like Fred Durst. LOL Kidding.

    What's your advocacy?

    ReplyDelete
  109. Regarding the past tense change: I haven't the slightest idea.

    What have you been doing lately NotSam? Did you have another date with "the reader"? Telling me if you had another date is not against your "no kiss and tell" policy, right? Haha.

    There isn't really a big issue that I feel passionate about. I do care about a lot of stuff, don't get me wrong. It's just that I think my advocacies are what other people would say, mundane and unimportant. For example, I want people to stop spitting on the curb, living to work, alienation, and dog hair color. I also want people to appreciate films more, art in all forms. What's yours?

    ReplyDelete
  110. A lot of things are happening. Parties, photo shoots, football games, etc, etc, etc. But I promise to update, though. I just need more free time. And yes, we still hang out. That's all I can share. LOL

    At least, you care. That's already a nice thing. You might also want to hate those people who click the "dislike/thumbs down" button and lambast others on YouTube. Those haters are really annoying, don't you think? I know everyone's entitled to his/her opinion but I fecking abhor those losers who just spread hate just for the sake of hating or desperate need for attention from other people only because they are bored with their pathetic life.

    Re: My advocacy - I am passionate about protecting and securing a better future for children. At a very young age I already joined UNICEF and other international organisations that aim to fight poverty and champion children's rights and welfare. I think the most heartbreaking thing to see is a child crying not because of tantrums or anything that shallow but because they are in pain—hungry, hurting, suffering. You know Leona Lewis's video of "Footprints in the Sand"? I was like crying the whole time I was watching that. Just seeing that baby in the middle of the street crying all alone, it makes me ask "WHY?", you know. It makes me want to question his parents or the government for letting this happen. I'm sorry. I was just jabbering. I just get so fervent talking about children. They're so young and innocent and pure to face life's harsh realities. They don't deserve negligence and pain. It's just not right.

    So what are the things that make you cry (apart from sad movies and a bloody toenail)?

  111. NotSam, hi! Can we meet in person? random thoughts.

    A lot of things are happening at the moment. Someone's making my head cave in and my heart a bit shaken. A bit of a mindfuck. I know this is not a proper reply to your message but I will eventually discuss my crying games.

  112. Hi, Mushy AS!

    Whoa. Are you all right? I hope whatever this is you get to sort it out right away. In the meantime, I want to help you. But fill me in with some back story if it isn't such a big deal to share. I would really love to be a friend.

    Hope you have a happy Easter! xx

  113. Hi NotSam, it has been a while. Anyways...

    Backstory - So some girl has been doing weird abracadabras with my mind. She's in a relationship, so this whole flirting thing should stop before someone gets hurt. Most likely it would be me, so more precautions needed.

    Its really awkward that I'm sharing this with you. But what the heck? How's life by the way? What are you up to these past few weeks?

    ReplyDelete
  114. Hi, Mushy AS! Wow. I envy your eventful life right now. Hahah

    A flirty girl who's not single? Wow. LOL If I were in your shoes I would've just played the game but it is wrong. I could be really stupid with this. It is so wrong. Is it possible for you to ask her what's the real deal? Is she really blatantly flirting with you? She could be actually into you or just playing but, yes, you have to really be careful with girls like this. I know it sucks but, really, just guard your heart. Keep distance if you must.

    So any updates with the mindfucking girl? If the situation's getting better or something? Let me know.

    Re: My life - Crappy things. I hate it that the Lakers lost. I hate it that some people are just arrogant little mingers. I hate it that my mum is setting me up to marry this millionaire bloke who's the son of her friend (Ironic. I know.). I hate the weather over here. I hate my throbbing ankle. And I hate it that I still can't update sooner because I will be incredibly busy from tomoz till early next week. There's a fashion show, a festival, and a beer bong party. It's crazy crazy. And I might be out for a collision crash and Hangover Hall of Fame. But I love danger so . . . LOL How about you?


    Always here,
    IANS

  115. No fair, where is that last comment of yours? Anyways, I have it in my feed reader.

    I can't help it. I just have to say this Lakers got schooled! Go Mavs!

    Updates, well it is blatant flirting. BLATANT! But I didn't know she had a girlfriend so I played along. And now, we still talk but I keep my distance. That's probably self-preservation kicking in.

    You're life sounds like one heck of a party, no need to envy mine. All I do these days is eat out and watch a movie. By the way, have you seen Adam? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185836/

    And random, coke or pepsi?

    ReplyDelete
  116. Hi, Mushy AS!

    Okay. Minus brownie points for you for loving the MAVS. Pfft. Go, Thunder!

    Oh, so she has a GF. I thought a BF. Wow, that's tricky.

    My life is chaos personified. I just get dragged into all sorts of trouble. It's ludicrous, actually.

    Adam . . . Hmm . . . I'm not a big fan of Rose Byrne although I have developed some sort of familiarity with Peter Gallagher. He's like my dream Dad. LOL I haven't seen the movie but it looks entertaining.

    Answer: I don't drink soda. :)

    ReplyDelete
  117. Don't drink soda? How come?

    So I'm guessing you watch The OC, since that's the only time I know Mr. Gallagher played a father. Oh Adam. I don't like the movie. I just like the part where he wore a space suit.

    Oh and 2-1 Mavericks! Go Dirk. :D
