I'm not sure of how this happened, but I think maybe I have a boyfriend.
To be continued... when things are clearer.

So there's this boy, right...
While my original company deserted me last night, I made a new acquaintance. We all know about my love of (read Obsession with) Jay Chou - now picture my amazement at running into a boy looking just like him! I was rushing through the crowded bar to get to a friend outside when suddenly there's a hand on mine and whoosh, Cecilia's heart out the window. I don't think I've ever seen Jay in a leather jacket, but apart from that, it was spot on - and admittedly, vaguely frightening. And he wasn't just good-looking, he was charming and sober, too (as was I, in the end), and his accent was perfection.
The best part was of course when he sang a song and I said, oh, I know that one. He asked, Chinese music, do you like it and I said yes. He beamed at me.
"Do you know who Jay Chou is?"
It's hardly necessary to go into detail about how the world came to a sudden stop and the birds started singing in the distance - I could have married him right there. We proceeded to speak about Jay Chou for hours and I am quite convinced that I have found my soulmate. I cannot be sure whether he will call me or not, but I did get a pretty good goodbye kiss, one that actually caught me off guard with its sweetness.
That's right - I KISSED JAY CHOU! Hell yeah, I did.
And on a completely different note, I have finished all of my midterms and will proceed to do absolutely shit-all over the weekend - in translation this reads Books Books Books.
It's a good day today.

Could someone please tell me...
... why Americans misspell things on purpose and think they are cool/funny for doing it?
... if (and why!) there is Anyone that actually likes to be called "hot mami"?
... why white boys turn me off (with the exception of Daniel Johns as he used to be)?
... why some people spend their entire lives doing absolutely shit all and pretending to be content just because they are lazy and scared?
... why no Beijing restaurant can make a decent 宫爆鸡丁?
... if my eyes are always going to be tiny (is there nothing that can be done!)?
... why I didn't take RK's phone number?
... how to get a permanent visa without getting married?
... why some pretend to be Nice when they're not?
... WHY KOREANS DONT LIKE UGLY FAT GIRLS THAT CANT COOK?
... how to be Generous when others are not?
... why some just sit on their arses and complain when nothing gets done?
There. I'm all ears.

Optimism
This is probably the first and last time I ever take something from the bible to put in a positive context. Chapter 4, verse 8, St Paul to the Philipinians:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and be there any praise, think on these things.
Think on Goodness, think on Love. Try not to be cynical, but rational. Eat sweet things and smile when you can, feel the sun and the rain all the same, make sure that if you die tomorrow, that you are happy with today.

Bounce Back
Today I have cleaned up my entire room, thrown out what I don't need, erased phone numbers and studied for the upcoming exams. I have lost weight, I have started to buy beauty magazines (though admittedly I feel shallow and cannot read through a single page without cringing but I'm getting there) and I have started to take my reading seriously again. You just watch me go.
Bounce, bitch, bounce.
Bounce, bitch, bounce.

Not really, no
First when it breaks can you know who will lend a hand. Sad to say, it’s a short list to be counted.
I am not naïve to the point that I didn’t expect this, though I admit that I had hoped for a different outcome. 太敏感了, I know, but I get so tired. I don’t know where love, respect and friendship went off to– is there a flight plan that I have yet to be informed of? To be disappointed by three people in less than five hours is a little much, at least for a starving girl like me. I will live, of course. I’ll have to rearrange my thoughts and habits, I will need a new playground and a little less faith in humanity but we have done this before.
然后连话都不说继续沉默
连朋友都没得作为了什么
然后跟别人说你其实还是爱我
就算了吧坏人我来做
Let's keep that phone turned off.

Play Dead - now also a motion picture featuring Girl Rejected
Halloween was a blast but then reality came back and hit me right in the face. I wish I hadn't said anything, but everyone kept pushing, "it's always good to be honest". Why, that was the last time I tried to be honest about anything at all! From now on, I'll be a lying, deceiving arsehole and I'll never believe in love or anything like it again.
There.
Now I am going to stand on the balcony for a while to see if inspiration hits me. If it does, I might just write a book about it.
Chinese of the day:
想你死了
(it's not a grammar mistake, ladies and gentlemen - I mean exactly that. May death take the mean boy when he least expects it.)
