THIS SUMMER IS GOING TO KICKASS.

Filed Under: Personal by Tiff — 10 Comments
June 14, 2009

If I’m not updating this blog as usual starting today, then it probably means I’m having a kickass time doing kickass stuff.

Now what might be some of those kickass things I will be doing that’s so kickass for the summer you ask?

Well, I’m decorating my new bedroom (hey I consider that to be kickass thanks). I want my bedroom to scream…ohhh I don’t know…five-year-old girl with a sick and twisted fucked-up mind? Mebbe. I bought a bedroom set that’s actually meant for younger girls (lol);  it’s really adorable, has a pure cottage-vintagey taste to it, however, I’m planning to add certain things that will add a touch of creepiness to it, just a touch (An understatement? Mebbe).

I’ve already purchased two adorable plush taxidermy from T&A Friendly for my wall:

Next week, I will be going to Las Vegas for the first time for my brother’s fiance’s bachelorette party.  Part of the trip includes seeing Thunder Down Under, which I am a little nervous by, just ’cause I’m not so much turned on by male strippers. I think they’re gross.  I rather, very much, check out female strippers as oppose to seeing a squad of male strippers completely stripped of their manliness-doing awkward stripper dance routines to which I consider is more feminine.

Then there is my brother’s wedding.  And I get to have their place in Santa Ana all to myself for a couple of days when they’re at their honeymoon. There will be lots of furniture shopping, museums to check out, and foods to eat.

Lacuna Coil show in Hollywood with my kickass friends. Three goals I have for the show is to:

1. Rock out really hard with friends.
2. Not get hurt.
3. To add more deadliness into a deadly mosh pit by performing a roundhouse kick of death (but that could conflict with goal #2 wouldn’t it?)

And the best of all, Comic-Con and Video Games Lives in San Diego!  Will be dressing up as the female counterpart of Kakashi from Naruto!!

So there you have it, my kickass plans for the summer.  And if I’m not blogging as usual, you can look at these tasteful photos that was taken recently at Cheesecake Factory restaurant.  My beauty will surely keep you occupied entranced until the next entry…

Guilty Pleasures (trying not to be so guilty about it)

Filed Under: Personal by Tiff — 15 Comments
February 21, 2009

1. My neighbor’s intense Mexican music
There’s this Mexican family that lives across the street from me and every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, the dad goes to his truck and bumps up some crazy ass Mexican type of music so the whole neighborhood can hear it.

I don’t know what the genre is called but the one I’m listening to it right now (yes, he’s playing it at this very moment) is fast, usually one-note, and every now and then you hear a man’s voice and it’s always either really high-pitched and piercing (weee beeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!) or really low and throaty.

I really don’t know what I’m listening to but I fucking love it.

2. Answering a shitload of questions on Yahoo! Answers
About once a month, for three whole years, I’ve been going on Yahoo Answers late at night to enlighten minds.

3. Asking a shitload of dumb questions on Yahoo! Answers
I’ll be honest here; some of my questions on there are really pathetic, though I do it anyway because their answers give me some weird sense of finality and certainty.

Believe it or not, I’m the person who Yahoo users think is suffering from paranoia because I’d ask completely unnecessary questions such as, “Does he rly like me?” and in the description I’d put shit like, “Well…we text each other a lot, and well…we talk on the phone until 4am and he buys me dinner. What do you think?”

When more than one person answers, “Yeah sounds like you guys have something going on” I can sleep at night.

I can’t help myself.

4. Eating at Denny’s or iHop with buddies until 3 or 4 A.M.
For some reasons breakfast just taste so fucking delicious during that time-not that breakfast food isn’t generally good, it’s just 10x better when you eat it around 3 in the morning.

5. Coughing up a gnarly looking loogie and analyzing it
Thanks to one of my gaming buddies, Dan, he recently mentioned something about examining a loogie after spitting it out, to which I bashfully replied, “I uh…I do that.”

I’m actually sick right now, and for the past few days, I’ve been hocking up the gnarliest looking shit-globs of shit snot and mucous you will ever see in your lifetime. And it fucking hurts too. It’s the kind of loogie where it feels like it’s slicing your throat with a vegetable peeler ever time you cough or clear your throat.

It’s so gnarly that after every spit, I’d say, “What the fuck is that?” and I’d end up studying it for a minute or two, you know, inspecting the coloration, the impressions that it leaves when I wiggle it with my finger, the layers, the depth, and the moisture of the loogie.

Ten Awesome Facts II: The Past

Filed Under: Personal by Tiff — 10 Comments
February 5, 2009

1. When I was little, I once drank a whole travel size bottle of mouth wash. I believe I was a little tipsy afterwards. And I believe my farts and burps smelled of minty freshness.

2. My first physical fight happened when I was six years old. My opponent, Michelle Tran, and I both wore adult sized boxing gloves. My memory of the incident is still clear as day. I remember the people who were watching and rooting for us (my older siblings and mostly our neighborhood gangbangers who made us duke it out), I remember where the punches were thrown, and unfortunately, I remember that I lost.

3. When I was four, my older sister thought it was funny to joke around by pretending to suck my brother into our vacuum. Since I thought what I had witnessed was real, it lead to my intense fear of vacuums that lasted for over ten years.

4. I had a pet African Grey Parrot named Ruby. I loved her! She would say a lot of things, even weird things, things that were never taught to her such as, “help meee!” She also liked making noises that sounded like she was coughing up a loogie (I have brothers). Ruby had a near death experience when I, accidentally, chopped her finger tip off with a nail clipper (I was cutting her nails and ended up going too far). She lost a lot of blood and her cage ended up looking like a brutal murder scene. I felt bad and her piercing bird-scream still haunts me to this day.

5. One of my earliest Internet friends was Jenalyn, whom I met on an networking website for kids called Freezone. When we were little, we both started making websites that is no different than my website today. All of the layouts were created using photoshop, and it also had an online diary, which is now called a blog. We met, literally, a decade ago, and we still keep in touch sometimes (via Myspace), and you have no idea how grateful I am for that.

6. The first zombie film I ever watched was “Night of the Living Dead” at the age of four or five, and I’ve been fascinated with zombies ever since. Prior to that, I had the proclivity to reenact the scene in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” where the chick runs to the abandon house and frantically shoves the furniture in front of the doors and windows, but only to find that it was no good when the zombies started crashing in. That has always been my favorite part. Epic.

7. In 1997 I founded The Dolphin Club, and in 1998 I co-founded The ‘N Sync Club which had a whopping total of two committed members.

8. Five years ago. Favorite haircut:

9. Five years ago. That haircut was forever destroyed by cutting it into a nasty mullet (thought it was a good idea at the time):

10. The very first time I said “fuck” was around the age of four. I was overhearing an action movie my sister was watching that had a lot of “fucks” and “fucking” in it. Funny thing is, that paricular word caught my interest, and even though I had practically no idea what it meant, it had given me the idea to yell, “Fuck my dad and fuck you!” during the film. When my sister heard it she shrieked and asked, “What did you say?!!?” And at that very moment I knew it was a word not to disclose in front of the adults, but rather to share with my classmates.

2008 REEEECAP!

Filed Under: Personal by Tiff — 8 Comments
December 31, 2008

Since 2008 has been by far the best year I’ve ever had, it’s only appropriate for me to discuss the events that has made this year the finest.

The difference between this year and all the other years before that were the people I’ve met. I have met a lot of great people in 2008 and I still keep in touch with them on a normal basis surprisingly. And with their help, I had the opportunity to finally go out and experience life for the first time like a 20-year-old person should.

Before 2008, I did go out on occasions, but it wasn’t enough, and it certainly wasn’t enough to shut my sister up when she reiterated, “You need to get out more” to me nearly every single day. Before 2008, I had about one friend, and I didn’t even like that friend very much. I’ll be honest here and admit that I was a complete douche back then. I had a bizarre fucked up phase where I had very low tolerance for people and I just didn’t care…as a result for my lack of a social life.

By the end of 2007, that only friend told me I was unreliable and heartless, and that I should start thinking about other people’s feelings. So I took her advice by adding it to my new year’s resolution (I actually do follow them) for 2008 after I had gotten rid of her for good (jk =P). Things were different since then.

Back to the point, here are some of the highlights of my 2008, in chronological order:

1. Going to The Renaissance Faire

It almost felt like I was dropped off into a historic period by a time machine when I first walked into the festival. People there are really, really into the Renaissance culture (they don’t call it Renaissance Faire for nothing right?), like, there was a huge parade for Queen Elizabeth I, and when people saw her, sitting elegantly in her extravagant throne carried by six men, everyone was cheering like hell as if she was the actual queen of England. It was sweet! When everyone else is into it and having a blast, it’s hard not to have a good time.

The food there was scrumptious, ridiculously calorific, but scrumptious. And since I’m the person that likes old-fashion looking knick knacks, it was shopping heaven for me. Every booth had something I wanted to buy, and if I could, I would buy the whole fair. What a fun experience. I’m planning to go again in 2009.

2. Meeting long lost cousins

My parents wanted me to go to a relative’s (who I barely know) wedding, and since I had nothing planned, I decided to go. When we arrived, I was seated to a table of people who were all around my age, I connected with most of them, and later found out they were all my distant cousins (my grandpa and their grandma were siblings). It was so weird! But it was so good! We all hung out after the wedding. I still talk to them from time to time.

3. Going to Comic-Con and Video Games Live

Ah, the start of something awesome. I went on a trip to San Diego with a group of people I didn’t know all too well at the time, but we eventually became good friends. There are a lot of great things to point out that happened at Con and VGL (such as meeting my favorite comic book artists, bumping into online friends on accident, buying lots of cool shit, getting lots of cool free shit, etc, etc~!!!), but for the most part, the people I came with totally made the trip worthwhile and I am awfully grateful that we are all still keeping in touch. We are also planning to go to the convention again in 2009.

4. Being in Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold” music video.

I like Katy Perry, I like her music, and to get a photo with her and make a quick appearance in her latest music video is quite a feat for me. I met two great girls there, and they’ve kept me entertained while we waiting for hours to shoot. To end the night, one of the girls convinced the group of paparazzis to snap photos of us as they waiting for Katy to come out of the chapel.

5. Karaoke, roller skating, pool, and bowling nights

I’ve actually never done any of the four until this year, and now I know why people are so hooked on them. They’re fun! Shit, they are fun. Although, roller skating in a roller rink is a little more hazardous than fun, I don’t know how many bruises I’ve received from hurtling into walls and people, but they were bruises of joy.

6. Painting the “Jawws” mural

I’ve always wanted to paint teeth over my original mural, and since most of my friends were too busy to help paint it, I called one of my former classmates from painting class, Hai, about the project and he was ecstatic to paint it with me. I was more than happy when the teeth were done since I didn’t expect it to look that good! Not only did I get awesome mural out of that experience, but also Hai and I became closer as friends.

7. Going to Six Flags Magic Mountain

It was my first time going to Six Flags and boy did I have a kickass time. The thrills of getting scared shitless as you’re soaring through the sky, then instantly plummeting towards the ground following by a woozy vertical loop is more than I can muster.

8. Scaring people (not kids! grownups) on Halloween

I scared A LOT of people when I was dressed up as a zombified Snow White, and if I didn’t get screams, I got a lot of petrifying stares and side comments such as, “Holy shit look at her.” By the end of Halloween night, I felt like I succeeded…in scaring people.

9. Going to Spike TV’s Video Game Awards

Without Brooke (who I acted with on the last project), I would have never gone and had such a marvelous time. She’s been inviting me to movie premieres, private parties, and awards show, so huge, huge thanks to Brooke; I don’t know how I can ever repay her.

10. Going to a Metallica concert

Matt wanted to invite me to a Metallica concert, only problem was, I don’t listen to Metallica! Being the good sport he is, he sent me a few Metallica songs that might be playing at the concert, so I can get a feel for their music. Their songs, overall, were ok, some good ones and some…meh. When we were there at the concert, the first song they played totally blew me away, and so did the rest of them. Their music sounds really good live.

I don’t know, maybe it’s a combination of watching Metallica fans go berserk, head banging and throwing their fists in the air; watching a plethora of super lasers discharging out of hovering coffins suspended from the ceiling; and feeling the unremitting pulsation and pounding of their awesomely raucous and intensifying music. Just the energy that I’ve felt at the Metallica concert, compared to all the other concerts I’ve been to, is beyond description, and I’m glad I got the opportunity to experience it for myself. Thank you for a good time Matt, if you’re reading this.

All in all, 2008 has been pretty good to me, and I can only hope it’ll be as good as 2009.

Happy New Years everybody.

My Christmas Wishylist

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks

I’m really bad when it comes to reading books.  98% of the books that is currently on my bookshelf has been read…halfway.  Oh I plan on finishing all of them, pages are still bookmarked and everything, but it’s probably not going to happen in this lifetime.  Actually, I really don’t know why I’m asking for another book, but this one’s about zombies man! And believe it or not, I did read the whole book of The Zombie Survival Guide (safety first!), which is also written by Max Brooks, so I think I’ll get into WWZ without a sweat.

Betseyville or Betsey Johnson bag in studded shiny (or not shiny) black leather

I’m really not into bags.  Whenever I go out, I normally take my cards, keys, and cellphone with me, so there’s not much to carry had I use bags.  But if there’s one bag out there that I’d rock regardless of my lack of shit to put in, it would most certainly be the Betsey bags.  Bags designed by Betsey Johnson/Betseyville are straight up tacky and over the top…but I like it.  And I think carrying bags of gaudiness would perfectly balance everything out whenever I have a normal plain ol’ outfit on.

Disney Pixar Ultimate Movie Collection

I’ve loved every movie Pixar has made for Disney, and I still like watching them whenever I get the chance to, so I’m pretty sure this item was made for me. And remember, this isn’t Disney Pixar Movie Collection, it’s Disney Pixar Ultimate Collection. Ultimate. That’s fucking hardcore, man.

Every gotdamn music soundtrack from movies by Quentin Tarentino

I’m not sure if Mr. Tarentino gets to select his choice of songs for every movie he’s directed, but each and every song I’ve heard from all of his movies brings a sweet feeling of orgasm to my ears.  The songs in Grindhouse Death Proof is at the top of my list of most orgasmic.

Marvel Zombies 1, 2, and 3 in hardcover

Marvel Zombies is one of the most interesting reads to come out of comic books.  The concept of Marvel Zombies is genius.  Just imagine a horde of Marvel comic book characters turned into flesh-eating zombies who are able to retain their humanity.  That’s frightening…and pretty awesome.  I’ve finished the first volume, and and the first two issues of the 2nd volume, and would love more than anything than to finish reading all of it.
