| Interesting "event" on December 22nd -
http://www.globalorgasm.org/
Hey, it's for a good cause ;)
| | |
| Being on the set of Battle in Seattle is indeed a great experience.
I got to stand beside Andre Benjamin
in the front line during a scene, chanting "There ain't no power like
the power of the people 'cause the power of the people don't stop!"
During this scene, I got to talk to Andre (he's super nice. He asked if
I was having fun...etc). I also got to talk to Stewart Townsend
(Charlize Theron's boyfriend; also played Dorian Gray in League of
Extraordinary Gentlement). He brought his super cute dog to set as
well. Standing infront of us as a police was Channing Tatum, who made the wait time so much fun by making witty remarks and getting into interesting poses.
There are some pictures up at movieset.com on the previous shooting
days, and they said that pictures from this weekend should be uploaded
soon. The people were generally very nice, (I've heard horrible things
about movie sets so I didn't have a very high expectation anyways) and
the actors are all very down to earth and friendly.
The film is based on one of the most important moments in the history
of democracy - the riots in Seattle in response to the meeting of the
WTO. No matter whose side one's on, this event showed that the power of
the people is not to be undermined.
Some nice people even recommended angencies to me, I'll definately
check those out in the following weeks. Can't wait to get back on set
in 2 weeks ^_^
That's about all for now - back to the world of papers and exams.

| Who would've thought that replying to a casting call ad would
actually give me the chance to be an extra in a major motion picture production?
Tomorrow morning I'll be on the set of Battle in Seattle as a wee little Protester ^_^ so excited. (check the linkie for all the wonderful celeberties that are a part of this!)
I've been on stage, in a studio, infront of a green screen - but never
on the set of a major motion picture before (walking past it doesn't
count). I just hope that the weather will cooperate with the shoot, so
that nothing would be delayed or cancelled.
I'm fully aware of the fact that 90% of the footages would probably not
be used, simply because cutting down the 30 hour long footages into a 2
hour movie is nearly impossible; I'm just very happy to get the chance
to at least be part of the making of something that has so much
potential. It'd be great if I get a frame on the final product, but
that'd be a bonus.
That's about all for now, I'll update sometime after the event with more details.
Oh, my grad pics are ready - going to go in and view the samples on
Sunday. Can't believe I'll be graduating in a couple of months ...

| Heading down to Seattle tomorrow ^_^
Shopping, and more importantly, to pick up Murray from his business trip!

Started volunteering at the Boys and Girls' Club of Greater Vancouver
(the Kivan Club near Kingsway and 14th). Lots of fun... got a paper
cut-out heart from a little girl ^_^! They're such sweeties ... and
they give out lots of hugs. (little 6 - 12 yr old kids).
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Passed my geo midterm, so happy ... I honestly thought I got everything
wrong ... I mean, who remembers every type of sedimentary rocks? But
that's all in the past now, landslides and errosion is easier because
they're processes, not just plain memorization.

Went to Mexicali with Em and Dale after English class on thursday ^_^
yummy food, nice music. Pics are on facebook (facebook name: Jasmine -
I didn't put a last name ;) ). I can't stand that english class (maybe
that's why I stopped going to the tuesday classes... :P), thanks to Em
and Dale for keeping me company ... we keep eachother alive in that
class, don't we ;)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Grad pics on Nov 11th! I'll probably post again then ^_^ Take care! Enjoy the rain ....

| I haven't updated in quite a while, so I thought I'd write something ...
On relationships ...
Relationships are consisted of compromises
- no two people can just come together and match completely, it takes
more than that to maintain a relationship. We're always learning,
always changing, always finding ways to better ourselves, and that's
what we should still do in relationships. It's easy to fall in love, but it's not easy to maintain that love unless both parties are willing to give and change.
Don't let holding hands become a habit, don't let the texting and
calling become a routine - everytime you do those, it should mean
something. People often say it's hard to find a relationship, but it's
way harder to keep a relationship alive, because time changes things if
we're not careful.
On the journey, there will be lots of distractions - other people,
different goals - sometimes it's hard to focus, sometimes we loose
sight of what is right infront of us. Sometimes people take eachother for granted, thinking that they'll always be there so it's okay to look around.
We don't know what we have until we lose it - or maybe even way after
we lose it. Maybe it's not until you've compared that you realize you
had let go of someone special, but by then it'll be too late. It's true
that there's the thrill in the chase, the process of falling in love,
and that feeling often overrides the companionship of something
long-term. When a relationship becomes a habit, when we take a
magnifying glass to our partners and only see it when they make a
mistake, we're neglecting so much. It's the person that you can sit in
silence with and feel happy that counts - true, but it's the person
that you can sit in silence and be happy with after being with them for
years and years that counts more.

On safety...
On a different note ... people, please be careful when you drive. For yourself, and for other people on the road.
My mom was in a serious car accident two weeks ago - she slowed down
with the traffic, and the car behind her hit her at full speed because
they weren't looking at the road (apparently distracted by a person on
a bicycle on the sidewalk). It was the scariest hour of my life,
rushing to the scene and hearing whispers "I think that's the daughter"
from the by-standers (geesh, if you're gonna watch an accident happen,
don't talk so loud...), hopping into the ambulance and seeing my mom on
a stretcher with a neck-brace... then the long (did I say long? I mean
long) wait in the hospital wing trying to figure out if there was a
spinal injury.
She's okay now, and we're thankful for that.

On school ...
We had a horrible geography field-trip today down to Wreck Beach ...
1.5 hours of walking up and down trials, and along very rocky roads.
There was even an old guy taking advantage of the "clothing is
optional" clause ...
okay, enough of that.
Grad pics soon! I still remember taking grad pics 4 years ago for highschool graduation ... good times....

Since discovering YouTube, I've been catching up on Taiwanese shows and
stuff like that... which leads me to many new and old songs that are
just awesome... here's a tribute to A-Mei ^_^
記得 張惠妹
誰還記得 是誰先說永遠的愛我
以前的一句話 是我們以後的傷口
過了太久 沒人記得當初那些溫柔
我和你手牽手 說要一起走到最後
我們都忘了 這條路走了多久
心中是清楚的 有一天 有一天都會停的
讓時間說真話 雖然我也害怕
在天黑了以後 我們都不知道會不會有遺憾
我們都累了 卻沒辦法往回走
兩顆心都迷惑 怎麼說 怎麼說都沒有救
親愛的為什麼 也許你也不懂
兩個相愛的人 等對方先說找分開的理由
誰還記得愛情開始變化的時候
我和你的眼中 看見了不同的天空
走的太遠 終於走到分岔路的路口
是不是你和我 要有兩個相反的夢
- - - - - -
趁早 張惠妹
到後來才發現愛你是一種習慣 我學會和你說一樣的謊
你總是要我在你身旁 說幸福該是什麼模樣
你給我的天堂 其實是一片荒涼
要是我早可以和你一刀兩斷 我們就不必在愛裡勉強
可是我真的不夠勇敢 總為你忐忑為你心軟
畢竟相愛一場 不要誰心裡帶著傷
我可以永遠笑著扮演你的配角 在你的背後自己煎熬
如果你不想要 想退出要趁早 我沒有非要一起到老
我可以不問感覺繼續為愛討好 冷眼的看著你的驕傲
若有情太難了 想別離要趁早 就算迷戀你的擁抱 忘了就好
愛已至此 怎樣的說法 都能成為理由
我在這樣的愛情裡看見的 是男人的軟弱
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
hugs and kisses for everyone, until next time, take care ...
