The cold worm is in control now...

Okay, so I'm still more or less alive and after 3 days I came to the shocking realization that I was sick. Actually my dad had to tell me that after I thoroughly denied it.

My back, as read in the last post, has seen better days and thus at the moment I am not sitting, rather I am kneeling so I can make this update.

So what did I do this past week aside from nursing myself in this torrential cold weather?

Not much more than movie day after movie day upon movie day. Except for one day where I took a far part of the $100 I won last week for shopping and spent a grand total of $3 on a chocolate milkshake. Mmm.. money well spent I can tell you that ^_~

But since you're here, and since I haven't been I'll give you guys a treat and whilst I type randomly about any particular thoughts I happen to have I'll see if you can pay attention properly.

I found it interesting to note that a Ganguro is actually a very popular fashion trend in Japan, no doubt we would find it disturbing to see such creatures wandering down the street.

But when you think about it, what might they think of our fashion trends? They might actually find it shocking that people walk around in beach attire to attend school (at least that's how it is in NZ).

To us, dressing half naked in any weather is a testimate to the absurdity of the local culture. White people want to be tanned and what do they do? Lie in sun-beds and hang around in the ozoneless sun thus causing the rate of skin cancer to sky-rocket. Seriously, I'm not actually exaggerating as I normally do.

Then there's people like myself, as I am not a white person and could more be aptly described as yellow in the same fashion. Basically I'm Chinese and being Chinese I actually want to look white >_> Honestly, I really dislike tanned skin and despite growing up in a society of white people craving sun toasted skin it hasn't really rubbed off onto me.

But of course, when it all comes down to it, we want to be attractive/popular/wanted/desire etc. etc because that little dude in our head wants a good reason to stick around. I would apply that same theory to the Japanese Ganguro or any fashionable Japanese fella since afterall, they're doing it to be cool and part of their clique.

You walk down the street and judge people on how they look and usually it does have a large bearing on whether or not you trust them or not. I guess it's just the really really really really really really "nice" people that will readily trust anyone but what am I talking about?

Ah well.. I guess most importantly you should be happy with who you are, since no amount of face cake is going to change your brain functions.

Of course it's always funny to think about yourself.

Personally, there are a few things that go through my head a lot and two of those things are:
One-What kind of person would I have been like had I been born a guy?
I surely would've turned out to be a real 8-ball because apparently egoism, pride and womanizer are all bad qualities in a guy.

Two-What if my parents had chosen back in 1988 (not too long after my birth) to move to Canada, Toronto rather than New Zealand, Auckland?

Hmm...

I'd probably be richer and definitely a lot colder.

Changing schools, joining/unjoining clubs can be such life altering decisions. Strange how it never occurred to me what a big difference it would make to my life by being at MyO. Because here, it doesn't matter how old any of us are, the generation gap pretty much disappears.

What do you think? :P
