You know what? I feel like Twitter is my own like lil mini blog now. That's probably why I don't blog anymore. Right now I'm listening to a crappy Tegan & Sara song and forcing myself to eat a large box of Halloween Smarties from last year. its actually pretty gross. and then thirst ruins the moment. I just took a sip of water that tasted like MONEY - what is that about??? And no, I'm not implying that the water tastes like I'm gonna be rich or anything, of course not. What I mean is that it literally tastes like a bunch of dirty pennies. Yummeehh, isn't it? Oh! And now I'm listening to a fairly good Tegan & Sara song - nope, the song ended. What's this playing now? Not just a country song, but a BANJO SONG?!?! Asian disgrace!! *SLAP.*
Apparently, Im cool. Don't get arrogant, Estella. *slap.*
Last night was my school's halloween dance!!! wooooooo! (Why am I still listening to the banjo song?? **slap on both cheeks-face cheeks of course, perv. or am i the only one who thought of butt cheeks? blehhh**) ANYWAY. Back to the dance; it was pretty sweet. It was a (omg, now it's a super mario song - WTF?) video dance and there were 2 screens playing music videos, impressivve. The songs could have been better, and it could have been darker, and less monitored by all the teachers and yes: policemen (real police - not halloween costumes here people). All in all, it was a fun night and according to the principal "one of the best dances she's ever seen/been to since she came to our school". Nice job, kids. My costume was pretty sick-and emo-but thats okay. But it could of been alot better since I only had half an hour to glue zippers to my face and make myself look scary. Yup, you heard right; there were zippers on my face. To get into details, the zippers were under my eyes, and it was supposed to look like you could unzip my skin to expose the flesh underneath.
Are You Ready To Accept Chris Brown again? Or are you still hating on him 'cause he hurt Rihanna?

yo. i miss blogger. let's get a music video to post, shall we?? nahhh, i kid i kid..... let's talk abouttt... fash week(s)! nahhh, let's review a movie... or create some hype about a new one! OR HOW ABOUT WE DO ALL OF THAT!
I know I promised to blog a lot more and i havent posted since. But please, JUST BLAME IT ON THE TV!!!! Anyway, here's a little sorry present... but i can't promise to blog, I'm sorry :(
Every year, the day before school starts, I suffer from insomnia. Every year I tell myself, "Okay. If I try to go to bed early this week (week before school starts) I'll be able to sleep on the last night." It doesn't work. After what, 8 years or so, I've finally figured that out?! Gosh I am sooo slow.
This year I've devised a plan.... let's hope it works! :D
So 3 nights before school starts, I will sleep very very late. 2 nights before school starts, I won't sleep at all. On the last night, I'll be so tired, that I have to sleep! Isn't that like the smartest plan ever?! :D LOL, I can't wait to see it fail so badly....*sigh*.
Anyway, to my rare Zoot Pod readers, I'm sorry I haven't written practically all summer. I was busy with my k-pop addiction and BBF. But no more worries now! Since school is just around the bend, that means I'll have schoolwork. And with schoolwork comes procrastination, my friend. And I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this, don't you? MORE POSTS! :D So sit back, relax and enjoy all the zootiness the ZootPod has to offer. This year will be extra fun because you're probably going to see my highschool life go down in flames and: well yea that's it :)
Anyway, I want to make the most out of the summer I have left ㅠ_ㅠ so please excuse me, while I go learn Korean, and learn Brown Eyed Girls' Abracadabra Dance :)
agaagagagagaaaahh!!! SO today (Aug 12), I've successfully finished Japanese drama, Hana Yori Dango (HYD), and also Korean drama, Boys Before Flowers (BBF) last week! Yayyyy! I've decided to make a post comparing all the little things that are different within the two shows just because I felt like everyone was siding with HYD... heh heh heh...... :S And uhh, Meteor Garden isnt in this cuzzz I havent watched it, anddd apparently its not loyal to the original manga, soo yah. Okay here we go!.... BIG ASE SPOILER(S) ALERT!!!
CAST!!!
Geum Jan Di (Goo Hye Sun)/Makino Tsukushi (Onoue Mao) Okay, in these two pictures (their average-girl look) I think Onoue (Makino) looks alot prettier. The haircut they gave Hye-sun (Jan Di) totally makes her look BLEH which I think adds to BBF's awesomeness! :D Because isn't the main character supposed to be like ugly not pretty? Soo yah! Don't be hatin haters [of Jan Di] Ahhaaha, now that I show you these, you're probably thinking Woah, Goo Hye-Sun (Jan Di) is really pretty! and so is Onoue (Makino)! YAH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! So for all you peeps who think "the girl who plays Jan Di" is ugly, think again. Anyway, I just wanted to prove my point that both ladies are awesome, and suited for their roles. Well actually, I think Onoue is without question an extremely excellent Makino. She looks the part, she acts the part, she's got that chemistry with the people she should have chemistry with, and she's certainly loveable! Geum Jan Di is more tomboy-ish than Makino, in my opinion, just because of the way she acts and also her voice. I think Jan Di is more hard working, so that's probably why she's my IDOL. Makino is more like an actual ordinary girl (and her laugh is so cute!), so I dunno, take your pick. I like Jan Di more just cause I think she's more inspiring and her character's unique. Also, Makino does this hopping up & down, raise the sleeves and punch move; whereareas, Jan Di does a kick-ase spin kick when beating up Jun Pyo or anyone else--all the more reason to love Jan Di :D!!!! The only thing that bothers me a little bit (this kills me to say, because I love Jan Di!) but I didn't exactly feel a strong connection between her and Jun Pyo. AND I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST ME (LIE! I don't know that). When I think about it, I can't find a reason why... it's just not there... sadly. I really don't think it's Jun Pyo's fault, he was brilliant, but maybe it was because I actually wanted her to be with Ji Hoo so much that it killed Jan Di & Jun Pyo's bond together.
Domyoji Tsukasa (Matsumoto Jun)/Gu Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho) Okay, so I'll just come out with it, I started watching BBF because of Lee Min Ho (I watched BBF before HYD) so yea, ofcourse, you're gonna know who I like better :)
I first heard of Lee Min Ho by accidentally clicking on the wrong video when I was going to listen to 2NE1's mini album. The video I clicked on was a commercial for Cass Beer 2X ft. Jessica Gomes. I looked him up, and saw that he was part of a show called Boys Before Flowers which was a Korean Version of Hana Yori Dango, which at the time my sister kept recommending me to watch (HYD, that is). I decided to first watch BBF first (I personally believe I was right to do so) and uhh yea, I fell in love with it! :) Anyway, I think Matsumoto Jun as Domyoji is more mean-faced, a little bit more aggressive, violent, hilarious when giddy, and a very fast runner, haha (if you have or are planning to watch HYD, when I say he runs fast, I'm talking about the Ken chase scene). There's not much to criticise, he's pretty much perfect for the role, except for the really good looks, which Matsumoto's sort of aight. Lee Min Ho (Gu Jun Pyo) is very good looking (!!!), less aggressive, and more well-built (that don't make sense...) soo he looks stronger and more intimidating. I like how he doesn't have to beat people up for you to know that he's angry, you just know!... maybe it's his eyes? His clenched fists? ... not really sure. He may not be as goofy as Domyouji over Makino, but he sure is brainless about stuff like Jan Di liking him. I like him for this role better than Matsumoto cuzzzzz.... he looks better?? andd idk, he got me into these two shows sooo yah.
Hanazawa Rui (Oguri Shun)/Yoon Ji Hoo (Kim Hyun Joong) Okay so, now down to a very critical character, Hanazawa Rui (Oguri Shun) a.k.a. Yoon Ji Hoo (Kim Hyun Joong). Huh, I dont really know how to word this... I guess you could say that this is one of the characters that I have been looking forward to comparing. Why? Well just cuz idk, some people say that that they like Oguri better, and others say they like Hyun Joong better (I'm one of them). Hanazawa Rui is more of the cool but quiet guy, who's sort of a reserved playboy(he makes out with two random girls, soo yea.. I would call him a playaaa!) type guy; while Ji Hoo is an actual quiet guy who-is just as cool-but not that I know I'm cool but I dont show off about it cause I'm supposed to be nice too thing that Hanazawa Rui has goin on. You still following me? But anyway, they're basically the same, except.... In the looks department, Ji Hoo is so much cuter in my opinion, just cause his smile (:D) warms my heart to death, and I dunno, I guess I like his character more since he's shyer than Rui. But for those girls who don't like the really sheepish type dude, I'm sure you probably like Rui better, yea?? And I know if you've watched till ep 14 of BBF, and seen HYD first, you're all TEAM RUI, but please give him a chance, he gets better I swear!!!!!!!!! I'm telling you girls, if you don't love Ji Hoo by the end of the season, I'm gonna come to your house and kill you becasue OBVIOUSLY there's something seriously wrong with your brain. In reality, it's all HYD's writers' faults for making Rui suckkkkk. He's too cool! Rui should be more sad and lonely, am I right? REDO PLEASE! One more thing: Kim Hyun Joong (Ji Hoo) also looks better in reality, and is very talented. He plays bass, guitar, violin (or so I've seen?), and the piano (i think??). He is also the leader of a successful Korean boy band SS501, can dance, sing and act. How much more perfect can it get??
Well anyway, I guess both guys are pretty awesome! Points for both shows! :)
Nishikado Sojiro (Matsuda Shota)/So Yi Jeong (Kim Bum) Another great casting job for BBF! Between the two guys, I most definetely like Kim Bum better, because he looks sooo good! :) Plus, I think Kim Bum is a better actor since he seems smoother with the ladies. My first thoughts on seeing Sojiro was No, no, no. What's with the walrus bangs?! But after watching. Matsuda Shota is pretty good, I won't take anything away from him; the only thing is that I don't see him as a player as much as Yi Jeong. I mean really... A playboy who practices TEA CEREMONY? WTF?!? Makes no sense to meee. Okay, so maybe it's not really HYD's fault for making him a seducer in the the whole tea thing, since they were just following the manga, so I won't use that as an excuse for liking Yi Jeong better. I will however, use the fact that Sojiro didn't get much camera time with the ladies he was with, as an excuse, because that totally didn't help portray his womanizer character. Yi Jeong did get the camera time he needed for that, so yay BBF! I liked how the BBF writers gave Yi Jeong more of a story. With the father also being a ladies man, and Yi Jeong's mom dying (I actually didn't understand that part, the story they gave him was kind of sloppy, really) and making him fall in love with Jan Di's bff, Ga Eul (this was very very good on BBF's part, cause they made such a great couple); it definitely helped BBF become more entertaining.
Mimasaka Akira (Abe Tsuyoshi)/Song Woo Bin (Kim Joon) Akira is this couger player guy who likes older women and Woo Bin is uhh.... well... uhmmm.... the only F4 guy who considers himself to be embarrassing (WTF, mann?). The only real similarity between the two is that they're in the mafia because of their fathers! I'm gonna start with Woo Bin first, kay? kay. When I started watching BBF, my first thoughts about Woo Bin were that he was just there to fill in the space of the 4th member of the F4. But then he said this wonderful sentence: WOO! Yo yo yo, wass-up man? -And instantly turned into a vital BBF character who was almost as important as the rest of the F4. And you know what that means, right? 5/5 casting for BBF! Helllllll yea! PERFECT SCORE!!!! YAYA!! And even though, he didn't have as much attenion on him on the show, and was only given a small I embarrass you guys! (you guys meaing F4) plot, which was totally random, the F4 would not be the amazing BBF F4 we all have come to love. Plus, he and his band, T-Max sing the opening theme song, Paradise, which is effing addicting and perfect and all you can ask for. Akira is boring, and I hate his hair. Sorry HYD. Other than the part where you see him break up with a woman who wants to marry him after he graduates, and how he charms the weird dango shop owner (where Makino, and Yuki work) the writers could have killed him off, and I wouldn't give a sh*t. Just being honest.
SO what should I tell you today? I have good news and bad (kind of) news. I'll start with the good.
Yesterday, I'm logging onto to one of my favourite websites, Stardoll.com, and yea just doing my regular stuff, when I remembered that I should check some Stardoll-based blogs to see if there are any new cheats or free stuff, or whatever. I go onto a site called http://www.gossip-stardoll.blogspot.com/ and the latest post stated,
"The writers for Gossips Next Star have been chosen! 30 writers have been added to the blog, and now it's getting started. Next weekend, 10 of the writers will be eliminated. You, the readers, will get to vote to see who should stay and who should go. The person who is voted the best writer of the week will also get a small prize. All the writers who were chosen have been sent an e-mail by Blogger inviting them to join the blog. You can start writing as soon as you get the e-mail." -Fiona
and then I remembered. I applied for the writing job thingy! So I go check my email, searching for an email from blogger, and let me tell you, the moment I laid my eyes on that email marked, Fiona-You have been invited to join Fiona's blog, I think my heart stopped. BUT it was 4 in the morning, so I couldn't exactly go around the house running and screaming in joy. Oh my goodness, though, I was REALLY happy. Haha, and I bet you can guess what I did next..... I TWEETED IT! LOL! Ya so anyway, I'm all excited and and I wrote two posts (one was from my application)!
Okay, now the bad (kind of) news.
I'm giving up. No! Don't try to encourage me to keep going! CUZ I CAN'T. How am I supposed to keep coming up with new material, it's truly impossible. Anyway, I guess I'll try to keep in the competition (I'll probably be voted off soon), cuz it's pretty fun, and I can say that I tried. If I don't get chosen, I really don't care, so it's all good. I mean, just making it into the comp is good enough fo me, shawty! Plus, this blog is hard enough to manage anyway. Yea, that was actually hardly even bad (kind of) news.... heh heh..... alright, SEE YAH!
