a TRAVESTY! o_o

Friday, 25 November, 2005 at 9:53 pm

My brother is listening to KOST 103.5’s holiday songs as he usually does. I usually think most of the songs are good, with some bad ones thrown in, some that are ehh.

But just now I heard the WORST cover of a Christmas song, EVER! It was “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” recorded by I don’t know who, in a pop, teeny-bopper style. I have nothing against teen pop. But seriously. HAVE YOU HEARD THE ORIGINAL SONG?! It’s … not meant to be sad, even though its origins were >.> … but still, it’s not a jump up on the trolley dance around kind of song.

(Don’t know if I wrote about it on this blog before, but the original lyrics were really depressing, because of World War II. To read the depressing lyrics, along with humorous commentary, go read this Velcrometer blog, December 26 entry.)

(I just had a memory stirred. Did Coldplay record a song using the original lyrics last year?)

gift wrapping

Tuesday, 21 December, 2004 at 1:54 pm

I forgot all about wrapping gifts. >.> Man … I don’t wanna do any of that. I feel sick at the moment. x.x Maybe I’ll do it later … but Mum is wrapping gifts soon, so there’s this feeling of gift wrapping … which is just annoying me because I feel like I have to do it. hah! Anyway … I feel sick … I don’t wanna wrap … or maybe that’s just because I keep thinking I have to be perfect with it … egh. Don’t have to be perfect … just don’t be sloppy. haha. Except for Daddy’s present. XP Wrap it in tons of paper and tape it up all over and knot ribbon everywhere … muahahaha …

voila

Christmas layout. :) The image is from this Christmas picture book I have. ^^ My aunt got it for me when I was a kid. And back then I didn’t understand the words because they’re scriptures. :b This is … uhh, something in Luke 2. I forget.

Hm. I’m trying to upload my graphics webpage to inangeling-dot-net but in IE I keep getting asked for a login after a minute, and LeechFTP and WS_FTP both tell me there are too many connections from my IP (3). *shrugs* I restarted, but it still says the same thing. ._.

And now I’m on break for almost a month! XD The geology final wasn’t thaaat bad … but I wouldn’t be surprised if I got a B on it. :( (But I think I still have an A in the class. ^^)

It was windy on campus and in the whole valley today! o_o Mum and Auntie and Noelle and I were sitting in the car in the parking lot and we could feel the car rock. That was fun. Haha. But then I drove home on the 118 (instead of the 101) and there were these trucks that were weaving in the lanes. Since they’re a lot less wind resistant than other cars, I was over to one side of my lane as far as I could go. ^^;;; ‘Cause there are three lanes and they were in the slow lane and I didn’t want to go in the fast lane with those winds.

Now I’m kinda thinking, ‘I don’t want to spend a whole month on the computer. That’s kind of boring. And a waste.’ But what else can I do? [reeeead] But that’s only good for a couple hours or so. I don’t want to watch tv either. [tv’s more wasteful] Just another option. I dunno. Maybe I’ll clean out my closet and desk and dresser. ^^;;; Wooo, isn’t that ever so exciting?

My most favorite Christmas present ever was my guinea pig, Buba. :) I loooooove my Bubbums!

My most memorable Christmas present ever was a red four-square ball my mom got me. ^_^ It’s ’cause I wasn’t expecting it at all (ours is a family of wishlists) and yet it was such a great present. I got lots of playtime out of it. XD

Gran Turismo

I listened to Gran Turismo (I forgot I had the whole album on Portibale) and I got that feeling from that Christmas. I guess it was two years ago. I can never remember the gifts from Christmas. Isn’t that horrible?

Well, last year Noelle got me that Audrey Hepburn layout. So prettyful and elegant … hehe. I forget the year before. ._.

I forget when I got my Lisa Loeb CD. I know it was the time we had Christmas at my cousin’s house. I guess I got it the same time I got Gran Turismo.

Anyway. That Christmas was the first time we went to the Del Amo mall. I got Mickey to play Gran Turismo as we were almost there, and Daddy said, “Boy, this sure is great Christmas music!” o_o;; *coughs*

PUURE vanilla extract

Friday, 3 January, 2003 at 8:40 pm

^___^ I remember what I wanted to post before now! :D Vanilla extract smells like Chriiiiistmas! ^-^

Mommy let me have the vanilla extract bottle she used up on the Christmas cookies. It still smells like vanilla. eeee! XD

Well anyway. When I open it up and take a whiff I smell Christmas Eve. The PBS Christmas special. It’s a Wonderful Life. Cookies baking. Christmas decorations. Flour coating the table. Powdered sugar coating cookies. Etc. etc.

^_^
