I'm going, going, and I'm gone!
As of tomorrow, I'll be on the plane to guess where?
Shanghai, China-to go to the World Expo! I'm so totally psyched, I'm so totally stoked, whatever! No more schedules to content w/ (unless you count the travel itinerary, then it's rush, rush, rush till you lost all meaning of 'fun'). I can hardly wait to go to the World Expo, see what they have there. Last time I went was back in 87 in Vancouver when I was a mere babe, a tween, if that's they called them nowadays. Back then, the mascot was an astronaut.
I wonder what differences there will be this time around...? I know from the web and from a friend that went there that each country has its own pavilion. That's about it.
More interesting tidbits later on....
Hope life will stop for me while I'm gone, and if not, then keep on truckin'!
Won't be back to blogging till Sept 11 (yep, that Sept. 11-sounds ominous) Well, wish me luck on my journey to China and on my return trip home. I, unfortunately, will have to close up shop till Sept. 11, but don't worry, I'll still write the old-fashioned way-pen (or pencil, whichever is available, natch!) to paper.
Don't get heartsick w/o me! ;P

Dream a Little Dream
Dream BIG-
You never know what you might achieve
Dream of fallen stars-
Make a wish
Upon the fallen stars
Is it an asteroid or a meteorite?
Hopefully it's just your wish coming true
Hold onto your faith-
without it your dreams will
perish...
Sweet Dreams, Angels

Reality Check
We need to respect our planet earth 'cause global warming is killing our precious planet. Just positively killing it! Global warming is here already, and we can't do a darn thing about it! By the time it reach us, we'll be dead 'cause global warming would have killed us all! (Sorry I'm being so doggone morbid, but that's reality.)
People won't able to stand the suffocating air of global warming, and they'll attack eack other, positively spontaneously combust. They might attack each other using weapons of mass destruction and might just end up killing each other rather than let global warming get the best (or the worse!) of them.
The world, as we know it, will turned into chaos! Pandemonium! Crazy things'll happen!
You can point fingers at human error, but it's up to you to repair the damage make by your respective kind. Do something to make a difference in the lives of someone less knowledgeable than you! Volunteer! Be an inspiration to an individual or a group in your local community! Be a positive influence! The list goes on...

Who we are anyway?
We are just borrowing the earth for a short while. Nothing is really ours for the keeping. I mean, I don't mean to sound like a cynic, but all our material goods will be worthless in the next century or the next millienum 'cause nothing is really ours. It's more like God's, who created the world, or if you wanna get all scientific about it, the Big Bang Theory created the world. The apes are our ancestors, not Adam and Eve, who brought sinto this world, but God brought temptation by creating the snake who tempted them with an apple much like the wicked stepmother in Snow White did.
When we died, we go to another world (Heaven or Hell), without our prized possessions. We actually don't take any material possessions with us although the pharoahs way back in Egypt were mummified with their treasure, but I bet when they crossed to the other side, they didn't only brought their souls with them although in their mindset they thought everything, including their most valued possessions will be brought with them in the afterlife. If we go to Heaven, we take our hearts with us. If we go to Hell, we take our souls with us. This is why we shouldn't obssess over material goods; we should just respect ourselves: our mind, body and soul. We also respect our borrowed time on this sacred earth 'cause we don't know when we might go.
As for me, I believe in reincarnation. I believe we don't turn into decompose into skeletal form or turn into ash although I thought about it immensely. However we were as humans, we become better or worse off than originally. Like a catepiller morphing into a butterfly, we can come back as a venomous butterfly (Is there such a thing?) or we can come back as a beautiful, awestuck butterfly.

Chinese Curiosity Box
I know, I know. I'm shamelessly promoting my microenterprise. But that's business! Learning the ropes of small business step-by-step, day-by-day. \
I'm gonna be selling Chinese baked goods, which include pastries buns and maybe dim sum. We'll just have Chinese buns to start/
And don't forget every Chinese meal need and I absolutely, positively need Chinese tea. We're also selling American tea-Lipton tea.
So come one, come all! Grand opening's in September (when I get back from vacation!) So come and enjoy!
Eat drink and be merry!

Joan Jett-Queen of Rock n' Roll
Joan Jett's my idol. She should be the known as the 'Queen of Rock n' Roll,' she's so good. She's a groundbreaking singer, being that she started the first girl group, Runaways w/ Cherie Curry in '75. Their hit song is Cherry Bomb. After Runaways disbanded in '79, she went solo and started her own recording label, Blackheart Records. She started her own recording label cuz her album was rejected by recording companies in the US. Her self-titled debut was released in Europe on May 17, 1980. She then started her own band, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Their most popular song is I Love Rock 'n Roll. I Love Rock 'n Roll was a hit for the first half of 1982 for 7 weeks in a row; it is Billboard #28 song of all time.
Although she started out as a teen, she didn't let fame go to her head. She kept a levelhead. She didn't let peer pressure get to her. In this day and age, that's an admirable quality because a lot of stars from Young Hollywood think they're invincible so they're willing to try anything, which include drugs, alcohol, anything. I saw her movie Runaways, she really didn't try any drugs or let peer pressure get to her. She just focus on being successful, on what she loves to do. To me, she's gold. She'll always be gold, forever n' ever, shining like the star she is.

Horror Stories vs. Horror Movies
There's really no diff except horror stories is more verbally graphic-you use your own interpretation, your own imagination to follow the story. Plus, you can read it over and over again.
In movies, it's more visually graphic-it's all guts n' gore. You can interpret any way you want with the visual effects. If you're in a theatre, (in my humble opinion, i don't ever watch slasher flicks in the theatre. i like watching it at home when the lites are on, thank you very much!), you can't playback. However, if you have a DVD, you could playback. But who would? I mean, who would want to see the same killing, the same exorcism over and over again?
Enjoy! Sweet Dreams! Beware of the Bogyeman!
