papa-papa-razzi (:

To be frank,

I actually like lady gaga (: . It may sound late to say this but truth is, I’ve always carried this opinion since she became popular xD.

Anyways its been ages since I wrote an entry. As always.

Junior year is basically a year where we are truly burdened with tests, homework, and etc. This year is SAT year and I still have a lot to go to reach my goal grade: anything about 1850. The goal is low, I know but I can’t set something not reasonable as a goal. Anyways, this year I’m taking AP Chem, which pretty much consumes all my valuable time. Its pretty challenging so its definitely not a bullshit course. Def. not. However, because its a monster nom nomming all my time, the times I’d want to dedicate for SAT studying and any other studying are pretty much dead. I honestly need to start managing my time which means waking up super early on weekends, give up heaven-like sleeps, and commit to not having a life.

On top of that, I don’t have any time to practice piano which saddens me because I love the piano. To not practice it makes me feel all upset and not caring. Not caring because it poses as an impression that I’m not interested in playing it anymore ): .

Anyways I’m less than 2 years away from college life. I still haven’t decided on where I’m headed to in terms of college, career, & post-college life. But that’s okay. I have a year decide on two of them: college & career. At first (not sure if i mentioned it) I was thinking about pharmacy a lot. However, I have a hunch that I might end up liking physics and precalc a lot this year and even do well in them. Its not like I already started to have a huge bond with those subjects, especially physics. xD. But something inside me tells me that that will change. If I do end up liking those subjects, I might bend on the idea of becoming a (computer) engineer. Right now, I’m pretty ambiguous on all this future career stuff.

I do have a pretty cloudy sense of what colleges I might want to look at. One of the is SUNY Buffalo University. It’s great for undergrad school due to its cheap cost and decent education. If I do plan on doing pharmD them, I’m definitely trying to get into there. Im’ also look at Rutgers University. One of  its advantage is that its minutes away from cousins place so if I can, I can stay there. If I plan on engineering, I might consider Rutgers once again.

I haven’t researched much on engineering schools so yeah.Honestly, I’m in no rush to get into those really top universities for undergrad. However for graduate school, hopefully I can get into schools like UCC, CALtech or maybe even an ivy league :0. All those plans are ambiguous (and maybe even unrealistic) once again so yeah xD.

So anyways enough of school related stuff talk thing. I’ve been thinking about the places I want to go sometime near in the future.

One of them has to be Goa, India. It looks similar to kerala but its distinctive look compels me to go there.

Next I want to go to Nepal. I dunno what about it excites me. Maybe its oriental asian and indian cultural fusion. It kinda looks like that to me. So anyone who disagrees xD yeah I have no problem with that. I never been there or have been exposed to the culture.

Then I also want to Venice, Italy. That place is super pretty. period.

Anyways Imma call it off for today.

until then (:

Last Post from this topic?

To be frank,

this hopefully will be the last post on Siddharth for a while (at least ’til the release of Oye! or my vector which is slightly at idle mode).

I have watch pretty much all of Siddharth’s movies that have been released on DvD except for Aata.

All together, I can say his acting is pretty awesome mainly due to the way he portrays his character’s personality. Despite of the crappiness of the movie’s storyboard or the crappiness of the his co-actors’ acting, Siddharth has his way of making those movies watchable.

My favorite of them all would have to be Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana and Rang  de Basanti.

Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana is directed by the “Michael Jackson of India”, Prabhu Deva. The story itself is Cliche. It tells a tale of an NRI, who’s the son of a millionaire, that attends a wedding in India. Basically everyone in this wedding is a millionaire except for this one girl,who happens to be the bride’s closest friend, that lives the life of a farmer.  As the movie progresses, the NRI and the farmer girl fall in love however their love is rejected by both of their families due to background differences (money difference).

Siddharth plays as the NRI and he pretty much is portrays the characters as a bubbly,energetic, happy-go-lucky kind. I guess that’s probably the main aspect of why I love this much so much. The movie is watchable for the most part due to its endless humorous moments hidden all over. Aside from its comedy aspect, it’s also pretty cute (: .Even my dad thought it was a good movie. However, he fails to accept this as one of his favorites, or at least as an “awesome” movie.

Funny thing is that even he enjoyed Siddharth’s acting in this one.  His first movie of Siddharth was Rang de Basanti but he never heard of him at that time.  Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana was his second and I remember my dad asking me what was the actor’s (siddharth’s) name twice during the movie. I didn’t think watching this movie with him would mean recruiting a fan =D. xD. I’m not sure if I can call him a fan of Siddarth, especially since he’s extremely picky about what to consider as his favorites. However, I remember the following morning I saw my computer on with the internet browser open with history. On of the recent pages visited were youtube searches of “Siddharth Telugu Movies”. It was no other than my dad searching them since he was the last to use the computer. I mean I guess that moment was kinda epic since my dad is a huge critic and virtually nothing seems to suit his taste xD.

Rang de basanti was probably my most favorite Indian movie of all times now that I think about it. It had every aspect a good movie should have (which I’m to lazy to list) and at the same time wasn’t a cliche romance Indian movie. Since I’m pretty pretty lazy at the moment, I’m going cut and paste the part of the summary from Wikipedia(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rang_De_Basanti). (the rest of the summary basically spoils the film)

Struggling British filmmaker Sue McKinley (Alice Patten) comes across the diary of her grandfather, Mr. McKinley (Steven Mackintosh), who served as a jailer in the British Army during the Indian independence movement. Through the diary, she learns about the story of five freedom fighters who were active in the movement: Chandrasekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru, Ashfaqulla Khan, and Ram Prasad Bismil. Having decided to make a film about them, Sue travels to India. With the help of her friend, Sonia (Soha Ali Khan), Sue initially casts four young men, Daljit “DJ” (Aamir Khan), Karan Singhania (Siddharth Narayan), Aslam (Kunal Kapoor) and Sukhi (Sharman Joshi), to portray as the revolutionaries.

Though they are not enthusiastic at the idea of acting in a film about the independence movement, Sue eventually manages to convince them. Laxman Pandey (Atul Kulkarni), a political party activist, joins the cast later, despite initially being unpopular due to his anti – Muslim beliefs and contempt for Aslam, a Muslim. In the process of filming, the idealism of India’s revolutionary heroes seeps into the protagonists. They gradually begin to realize that their own lives are quite similar to the characters they portray in Sue’s film and that the state of affairs that once plagued the revolutionaries continues to torment their generation.

Everyone in the film acting amazingly well. My favorite characters would have to be Karan, due to his somewhat reserved and confused attitude, and Sukhi due to his “bubblyness”. (:. Honestly if you haven’t watched the film, it’s definitely worth a watch, even if you aren’t Indian xD. The music, the direction, the storyboard are all awesome.

Honestly, all of Siddharth’s films that I’ve watched are wonderful. As biased as this may sound, some of them are awesome only because of Siddharth himself. His acting is watchable. Even Chukkallo Chandrudu which had “meh” storyboard was watchable and satisfied my likings. Of course it wasn’t my favorite but I definately wouldn’t mind watching it again (: .

The last movie I watch from him was his second movie, Aayutha Ezhuthu. It was pretty good, especially since it had my favorite actors (which I don’t have a lot of), Surya, Madhavan, Meera Jasmine and of course Siddharth. Plus it was a Mani Ratnam film; his direction is always excellent. However this wasn’t the most epic film. I’m not sure if it’s due to my lack of understanding of Indian Politics (since that’s what this movie revolved around) but I felt something was either missing or overdone.

His first movie, Boys, is another one that reaches my standards. I don’t highly recommend it but it’s worth watching. Story wise, it isn’t cliched (:. Basically it’s about 5 typical teenage boys who become a successful band after getting kick out from their homes. It’s a pretty cute movie and its fun to watch (:.

Then we have super cute Bommarillu. I don’t feel like elaborating on this one since I have already posted a huge entry on this one.

Lastly there is Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam. Siddharth, compared to his appearance in his earlier films, looks extremely different with his lengthy straightened  hair. This also is another well made film. I think this would land in the category of a “family film”. Once again, Siddharth plays as the bubbly, happy-go-lucky kid. In this movie however his parents are divorced and he and his girlfriend tries to get them back together.

In my opinion, one of the exciting parts of watching his films was his change of looks xD. I think Imma post a series of photos below in chronological order. xD

To be frank,

I don’t know what made me want to start off my entries lyke that (:.

Okay so I’m starting (ONCE AGAIN) to study for my drivers permit. xD oh god, now how many times was this a fail?

I mean gahh.. I wish this was rather exciting but no. Traffic controls. Parallel Parking. Blah blah blah. I just can’t wait for the actual experience of driving. I know I’ll freak out on my first drive in the expressway/highway. Ha but I’m the type that will get used to things quickly so that shouldn’t be much of a problem o_o.

Gahh my entries these days seem like fruits of laziness. aklsdfjaklsdf.

But that isn’t true. I think.

The only reason why I talk insignificant things like my boring summer, my boring summer, & my borings summer is because I DO in fact have a boring summer. I mean it’s probably not the worst out there compared to some other peoples’ but, when one compares my summer to the majoritys’, mine pretty much sucks.

Anyways, if my invisible readers have been following my dA, they probably already know about my new vector idea. I know finally -___-. So yeah I did get a vector idea and it should be quite palpable. Siddharth Narayan is my victim this time. (:

I mean he is so adorable, personality and appearance wise; vectoring him should be amusing xD. Thing is, I’m the type of person who NEVER finishes my vector pieces or any sort of projects. Pretty much all my vectors on dA are unfinished. Why? Pure laziness.

Anyways here’s the picture (its from the film : Konchem Istham Konchem Kastam).

I promise I’ll stop fan girling soon (yeah admit that’s my illness at the moment).

I wont be vectoring Tamina (the girl in the picture) most probably since this is a “Siddharth Vector”.

So far I get only 3 of the bazillion layers done. xD. Once again, I’m not sure if this is going to be a success. Like all my ideas, this one could easily end up burning up in some random fireplace.

Gahh I love this actor. He’s probably the only reason I watch these typical “bubbley” Indian movies.  It’s more than just him being Siddharth. His acting seems natural o_o not annoying like alot of Indian actors who act in cliche movies.

Anyways, besides studying and vectoring, I need to start learning Malayalam. I realized finally that it sucks that I suck at my parents native tongue so much. It’d be pretty cool if I’m bilingual anyways.

Anyways hopefully something productive will result from this tedious summer. (:

-the one and only susu

oh and this has the be the funniest clip of siddharth (its from his first movie “boys”)

he pretty much yells out : “Oh my Saving Goddess , come and save please” LOL

this shall remain empty

To be frank,

August is comming to its midterm. I’m not sure if the following should spark up some excitment but, school is about to make its arrival anytime soon *gasp*. But hey, on the happier note, it (seemingly) starts later than usual. Last year it started around September 2nd where as this year, it’s starting on September 9th. Usually school starts right after Labor Day, on a tuesday. Well this year, it does start after Labor Day just not right after. Instead its starting 2 days after Labor Day, a Wednesday.

Anyways, I’m still lamenting to go somewhere awesome this summer. Thus far, it hasn’t happen -____-*.  Well hopefully that will change once KENT ends, which its last day is on August 13th :D.

On a different note, I’m still addicted to Oy Oy (love at first sight, naalo kalige, love at first sight nannu kadipe  xD). Something about it is amazingly catchy. -___-.  If you wanna know what I’m talking about exactly, just check out the last post (which isn’t so great). Speaking of Siddarth, I finally watched one of his movies, Bommarillu. It was quite a “bubbley” movie if you asked me x]. At first I wasn’t so keen on the idea of it being good from the start of the movie. I thought the overall direction wasn’t bad but just annoying. However, as the movie progressed it got better xD (thank go- thank cookies!).

I can’t be certain that Bommarillu was one of my favorites but it definately was fun to watch! xD It was pretty cutsy, especially due to the story line. Pretty the movie tells a tale of a dude name Siddarth (lol same name as the actor) who struggles to live life they way he wants to due to his father. Siddarth pretty falls in love with this girl, Hasini, who happens to be a heck lot different (its the difference that attracted him lol). If I were to sum her up in a short amount of words it’d be that she’s a child at heart. She is this happy-go-lucky kid. However, his parents fail to accept her at first. Siddarth then assures them that that will change if Hasini could stay at their place for a week to prove his reason for loving her. xD Yeah cliche Indian movie but it was adorable so why not (like it)? I guess the part I like the most was Siddarth’s and Genelia D’Souza’s acting (Hasini).

Yes it’s telugu hence my necesity for subs during the movie xD.

Uh I watched another movie before that (indian again but not superly cliche cause it’s malu xD).

So yeah that one is called Vadakkunokkiyantram and it’s directed by the one and only Sreenivasan  =D. He also has a lead role. Double cool. Okay this movie pretty much a story of a man named Thalathil Dineshan who is super insecure about himself. He has super low self esteem due to his appearance (dark complexion and etc). He marries this girl Shoba who is portrayed as super pretty and yeah. So basically Dineshan gets paranoid over whether or not his wife loves enough or not. So he goes to all these attempts of changing himself from drinking to telling joke to try to see if his wife would get impressed. It’s quite a good movie but old. So yeah, not sure if the majority here would be interested, especially when its malu (malu has a different tone when it comes to film, except the more recent movies -’07and on)

Sreenivasan is just awesome. He’s freakin hilarious. =)

Okay now to do SAT hw =D.

OH OH OH btw: I has finally started volunteering.

-the one and only susu

e.d.i.t.s

I just realized that I freakin love Bommarillu; it’s way too cute to dislike one bit xD.

¿15.08.09 or 08.15.09?

To be frank,

I like the first one better than the second. It makes much more sense in terms of order but, Americans tend to make their own twist and turns on system. Like the system of writing down the dates, I also like the upside down question mark. Once again, its more logical. I mean the point of the the questions, exclamation, marks is to  let readers know how the sentence should be expressed. The upside down mark at the beginning of the sentence actually succeeds at that. And once again, America fails at that.

Well its been a heck of a while since I’ve posted anything on my wordpress. Why not make an entry now instead of waiting for junior to come by?

SAT class is coming to an end so horray to that. Overall, I thought it was okay. I guess it was helpful overall? Not sure how to comment on this xD? The classes were lengthy and the work was exorbitant. I personally like studying things bit by bit. However, with a 6 week limit, I don’t think teaching at a snail pace is gonna help. At the same time, teaching at a fast pace isn’t going to help me. But I think that is just plain me. (:

A few days ago I ran across this Telugu song that now has become my marijuana. Its so addicting (and soothing? I guess it relieves from all this SAT stress xDDD?) that I can’t predicate when in the future I will start calling this the song that belongs in the sanitation truck. And to display what I’m talking about, I’m going to post the video right here =D.

^btw the clip is bootleg (obviously) so some places are going to sound odd and out of tune. xD so don’t think that’s part of the song lmao^

I dunno but the video is as addicting as the song is. Maybe it’s the dancing? Or is the dude that’s dancing (:? Well his (real) name is Siddarth something. Yeah I fail at remember his last name. He’s super pretty. Yes pretty. Maybe I was tempted to use pretty cause he has slightly lengthy hair? And he’s freaking adorable, no doubts. Anyways yeah this song is freakin awesome. The weird thing is that I barely listen to Indian songs except for bhangra. Well here you have it: one of my exceptions. =)

And since I’m on the note of this movie, Oy!, did you know the main actress, Shamili, is malu, lyke me =D?! Even better, she was that girl who acted in the movie Pookkalam Varavayi. That was one of the gazillion movies she acted as a child and jesus she was adorable. In fact, her first movie that she acted as “not a child” (if that made any sense) was Oy!. Haha. Yeah for the vast majority of you people reading this, this isn’t quite exciting but it is for me (:.

Hmm on the topic of Indian stuff, I went to this Indian Fest thingie in Melvile. I thought it was going to be good, especially since there were a lot of white people there however, it was meh. I mean it was quite a big event. Lots of people. Lots of food. And a fair. Yet I felt that the programme was pretty eh. It was basically a cultural programm with a fair in celebration of India’s Independence. The only thing I like about it was my sister’s act, her bharatanatyam dance (she was pretty good, not saying that cause I’m her sister) and this other bharatanatyam dancer name Drasti I think. Apparently she has done performances at prominent places like the Lincoln Center. The series of performances overall weren’t put together well so yeah.

a f t e r:h i a t u s::::::moreWORDpress?

To be frank,

Summer vacation has started a couple weeks ago and SAT prep has only a week ago. If I have to describe my summer thus far, it’d be  tedious, insipid, and sadly busy (due to SAT prep). Funnily enough, I wish I were back in high school.

SAT prep pretty much runs 4 days a week, 9am-2:15pm. Its first day was last Monday, July 6th, and will end on August 13th. Hey, at least I have some leftover days after that ’til school starts. Nothing interesting has happened in my summer. I did not get a permit (yet), I haven’t started on crocheting a pattern, haven’t even learned html yet(talk about fail), or anything else that I was planning on learning. I haven’t even read anything good but, will change that in a couple of hours once I start on The Good Earth. I wish I could have elucidated the past 4 weeks effusively but how can that be possible if all I did was stay home, go Indian grocery shopping, and attend prep class? lol. WEll I did not only do Indian shopping xD but I can’t add on to it to make it any more interesting.

I’ll admit, I did spent a significant amount of time watching Arthur rather than updating my dA (those who watch my dA account can see that) and my wordpress (haha). I can’t lie about that. One thing it does for me is act as a reminiscence of my long dead, yet still remembered, childhood. It was one of my childhood favorites. Back then, I’d look forward to an episode everyday, even if it was a rerun. Even today, I still look forward to an episode daily. I’m pretty sure its still popular around people my age who grew up with it, at least more significant than the shows targeted at the little munchkins. Its probably the only little kid show that isn’t annoying and carries a sense of humor that I can still laugh to. I feel that most little kid shows these days are super, sorry for the word choice, retarded. The greatest example of all time is Dora the Explorer. I don’t think I’ll in depth about that(;. I still remember other classics such as Wishbone(which is actually still airing but I haven’t gotten watch an episode just recent…. the last time I watched it was when I was still learning my A, B, Cs). Then there is also Lamb Chop’s Play-Along. It was only recently that mom reminded about how much I used to watch that show as a tiny kid xD. My sister searched it up on youtube yesturday (since she never saw any of it) and we watched it together… gosh that show is super cuteeeee. It even funny at the same time (:. If you like cutsie stuff, you definitely need watch at least an episode of it. ITS WAY TOO CUTE FOR MY ANYONE’S OWN GOOD. Of course there are also stuff like Barny & Sesame Street. However, I think those kinda target super munchkins and I don’t think think I can actually watch the shows with a straight face. I still think Elmo’s cool (8. And Cookies Monster.

So that’s one thing, I guess. Don’t laugh at this. I think watching Arthur is perfectly fine. (: Maybe it’s just me. I am still childish and am at the age of being able to steer the wheels of a car, legally. Then again, if I had to be candid, I think I’m much more mature than a significant amount of people my age. But, I’m still a child, at heart<3.

I need to start working on photoshop and drawing. I’m trying to work on drawing and I’m doing a better job at that than working on photoshop. I don’t feel motivated enough to photoshop at the moment which is bad because I only have less than two months of freedom ’till junior year, torture (as they say) year. I think If i got a new computer, a laptop perferably, then I’d be a bit more motivated. I mean I’m using a computer with such a bad harddrive which I don’t feel like getting into.

So here’s an entry peoples. *echoes*

Hopefully I can making this updating much more frequent.

OMG

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

NO MORE REGENTS…. (minus the ones in junior year)

-goes off celebrating-

-the one and only susuzuuzuzuzu

SPOTIFY

needs to come to the U.S.

NOW

i is willing to buys it.

if this is about U.S. being all crazy about copyright crap… imma cry now. D:

worthy entries should come about shortly since my last regents for the year are in 24 hours.

-the one and only susu

s a d i Ξ g a l i Ξ p u l Ξ k e Ξ v i

To be frank,

I freakin love this song D:

It’s only recently though that I started to get addicted to this D:.

Anyways finals came an happy ending. YAY

However, regents are only days away… so I can’t celebrate that much about the end of finals, can I?

Well recently I found crocheting very amusing… mainly because of my friend Jessica. She’s really good at it even though she only started few months ago.

What amazes me more are the amigurumis D:. They are freaking adorable.

& I has pictures of them

Aren’t they so adorable D:?

Well summer is just near by. I’m pretty much spending that vacation by studying my butt of the SAT exam :p.

I do also plan to learn how to crochet. Why not? After looking through all these amigurumis, my urge to learn shouldn’t such a surprise xD. I also plan on learning HTML/CSS.

After looking through my deviantart account, I also though I should take advantage of this summer to improve my photoshop “skills” and try to experiment into differnt fields. I might try to up my vector techniques and try out freehand vectoring.

In addition, I also plan on learning basic german xD just for the hell of it. I might as well learn hindi too, or some other Indian language D: lol.

Last but certainly not least, I also want to obtain a permit… real bad.

Aights, I shall go off and study for chemistry. Hopefully my later entries wont be as short as this.

I dunno if this will help.
