Fangirls

Right. I was gonna write an entry yesterday but my brain was too tired to function. #shemur. YESS I LOVE IISUPERWOMANII. 

Urban Dictionary Definition
Fangirl: a female fan, obsessed with something (or someone) to a frightening or sickening degree. Often considered ditzy, annoying and shallow.

Last week I was asked if I was interested to watch the Korean band - Big Bang's concert movie. I like the band itself, like I listen to their music and occasionally watch their mv, but by no means I am a fangirl. I don't spend money on their albums, products or concerts. Yeah, I am an extremely lousy fan. The ticket was not expensive so I decided to go. 

After dinner, we all met up at the cinema and waited for a little while. They were all thrilled to watch the movie but I was rather indifferent, honestly I was a lot more excited for monster university or now you see me. We were all seated, and one friend told me that some loyal fans will turn on the Big Bang signature crown torch to show their support. I am sorry but why? I literally do not see a point. I know it is their favorite band and all that shit but come on they are inside the SCREEN. It's exactly like watching a DVD version of the concert but on a bigger screen with a bunch of strangers who happens to like the band as well. Coming to see the movie is already being very supportive. 

Besides watching the movie, I was also observing fangirls. Here we go:

Some teenagers were dressing up as if they were going to the real concert. What I mean by that is they were wearing a Big Bang fan hoodie, a Big Bang concert wristband, and some other gadgets that proved their loyalty. I obviously wore none because I have none. 

Whenever there's a close up shot of a member winking, smirking, or flirting to the camera, fangirls would scream gibberish, yell out members' name, have "OH MY GOD" faces, and almost attack people with their torch due to their overjoy. I was fortunate that I wasn't a victim. PIPE DOWN WILL Y'ALL. 

I was quite lucky that I recognize most of the songs so I thought it was quite an enjoyable 2-hour, but what I found most bizarre is that fangirls already know it by listening to the first beat of the song. I was given so many heads up by my friends yelling into my ears "OMG IT'S HIGH HIGH" "IT'S HARU HARU" "IT'S FANTASTIC BABY" How the heck do they manage to do that. Do they effing listen to the songs everyday for them to know the song back-to-front? I was impressed. They even start with the hand gestures, and I felt quite left out because of my lack of knowledge. Honestly, I would fail epically on any fan test. 

anywayyy SPOILER ALERT. The movie was mediocre. I thought it was actually slightly worse than watching the DVD because it was a combination of a few concerts. GD was having red hair for 2 seconds and for the next second he was sweeping his pink hair. I CAN'T COMPREHEND, MY BRAIN CAN'T MULTITASK. But I did enjoy the extra episodes in between the concert fragments. (Not the ones where they were having funny conversations because there's no subtitles..... and apparently all fangirls had already watched the bloopers on YouTube so they weren't too happy about that. Meh, it was my first time watching them so I thought they were cute)

That was my first experience of meeting a bunch of fangirls in an enclosed area, and this is my rant <3

Pet Peeves #1

Speaking of pet peeves. I reckon I should share this one.

I absolutely cannot stand long hair, barely can accept my own before I cut it. I don't know why and I don't believe there is an exact reason to it honestly. I didn't realize the severity until recently I start commuting to work by subway. I still remember how it happened, a middle-age woman with extremely long hair, definitely over her waist-line, was sitting on my left. While the train was moving foward, her hair was sweeping at a very high velocity that the hair was constantly tickling my arm. Obviously, I would prefer sitting over standing, especially when I still have 10+ remaining stops. But guess what, I could not even bare it for more two seconds. All of my cells shivered, my fingers and toes cringed, and my scalp was mentally detached if that make sense. I instantly stood up and walked to the next carriage. I was almost having a mental breakdown I was devastated. HAIR, WHY ARE YOU SO CREEPY. 

hmm maybe it has something to do with that Japanese horror movie. :O

I can't even stand hair balls holy crap they bother me so much I can't even look at them. I would literally grab them, squealed until I discard them into my toilet and flush them away. Imagine how pathetic I would look. 

Ha. And there's hair extension, which I will NEVER EVER get one even if i was paid to do so. Who even came up with such a crappy idea anyway. Yeah yeah for those who regret their haircut or who want to have more volume, but no I still do not appreciate it. Who the phuck want to clip on other people's chopped-off hair onto their own scalps? Besides possible irritation, this beauty gadget is simply disgusting. A couple of my friends have done it before and I would ALWAYS freak them out by guiding them to think that the extensions would start growing rapidly at night when they sleep and they will strangle your neck till you can't breathe and you'll be dead. Opps. What's even more creepy is that the hairdresser would inform you that each strand of extension will NATURALLY fall out from your scalp, eventually all will  fall out in due course, so there's no need to come back to undo the clip. WHAAT. Bet you didn't think there's a problem. NATURALLY FALL OUT IN DUE COURSE. Read again. So basically the strand will fall out anytime, any moment, anywhere. Guess how awkward it would be if you were talking to a guy you fancy a lot, and you were playing with your hair showing your feminine side, and all of the sudden the strand was pulled out. The guy would be: kthxbye.

With all the hate to long hair, I still have to admit natural long hair is very angel-like!

I think I am done with talking about hair today. <3

Annoying People in Outdoor Concert

Yay, exciting, my second entry on the same day. I have no life / I like to write / I rant. whatever.

The title is pretty self-explanatory.

So last Saturday my cousin and I went to an outdoor concert which consisted of 5 singers and each get to sing for an hour or so. We weren't interested for the first two, so we decided we will go there two hours later. We held two standing tickets because we are too poor for seating tickets mehh.

Annoying people type #1
You know how standing tickets runs a first come first serve / wherever you can squeeze in basis. It doesn't reserve you a spot so there's no guarantee. Let's put it out there that the majority of Hong Kong people don't mind having physical contact with random strangers in a restricted area. Unfortunately, I am not use to touching people, yeah yeah then why did I even go to a concert. I am a living contradiction shush. I have already prepared myself beforehand that there will be a lot of accidental elbow attacking and boob touching.  BUT IT DOES NOT PHUCKING MEAN THAT PEOPLE GET TO CONSTANTLY SQUEEZE IN AND OUT. Do you understand the area was already so packed that we all felt like stuffing inside a thanksgiving turkey's butthole, sardines in a can, or just to be straightforward I felt like one of a million sperms. There are just more than a few sperms who apparently enjoy squeezing through sperm walls. I know they can have legit excuses like bathroom breaks, to go grab a beer or snack or simply being a dick. BUT bitch why do you think you have the right to RESERVE your spot by leaving your raincoat and your glow sticks behind. Ain't nobody will give you back your spot.

Annoying people type #2
The standing ticket was HKD $280 dollars (more or less 32 dollars CAD). You really can't expect much can you. It started pouring in the middle of the concert and we had no choice but to pull out your raincoat or hold up your umbrella to avoid getting dripping wet. Obviously, holding up your umbrella can block the back audiences' view. Some started yelling and shouting that we should take down our umbrella. WHAT. HOW OBNOXIOUS CAN YOU BE. oh so you expect us to soak ourselves in this horrible weather and to let you enjoy the concert at a better view. Hell no that's gonna happen. If you want to enjoy the concert with no one in your sight then why don't you buy the front row seat, dick.

Annoying people type #3
Given that we were standing for 4 hours+, the poor weather condition, and the fact that we could barely see the monitors. The singers were about a size of a matchstick so I had a very hard time identifying who was the actual singer and who were the choir people. I was hearing the concert ok. Honestly, one cannot be extremely hyper under this situation. Basic groove and clapping are understandable. NONETHELESS, some sperms (second sexual reference opps) can manage to scream and shriek with absolutely no purpose, but to scare the shit out of me and make themselves look like idiots. I was literally anticipating for the howls and tried to give them death stares so they might just stop it. I failed miserably.

After 4+ hours of standing, I was exhausted. We got back home and all we did was lied on my ahhmazingly cozy sofa and watched harry potterrrr. I could not felt my legs the next day and they were hella swollen.

I am done ranting <3

FUCK Facebook

Way to start my first entry. yeah.

DISCLAIMER:  genuinely I am a very happy contented person, but occasionally I whine I rant I get all emotional when I feel like crap.

Yes. I feel like an absolute crap.

Nowadays, pretty much everyone has a facebook account, to basically show off your life and to stalk people  who you secretly hold a grudge to. "Reconnect" is some bullshit.

Yesterday, I "randomly" tsk tsk stumbled on my high school's use-to-be friend's fb account, and realize I can practically see NOTHING except her profile picture and cover picture. I wondered for a moment if she decided to stop using fb and had simply deleted everything. Then I notice she has been liking pictures, commenting, for which proves she is still fb active. Then I started to think if she purposely block me.

The only  way to check is to investigate - ask one of my besties to see what she can see on your fb account. This doesn't get anymore cliche but yes she can see everything.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF BLOCKING SOMEONE WHEN ONE CAN EASILY FIND OUT YOU DID. I seriously don't understand why fb has a blocking function because the only function it has is to make one upset, and second, why can't she delete me from her friend list instead. If you don't want me to see any of your shit, then bitch why the hell can you see mine. WE ARE NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL, when tiny microscopic things can be transformed into news headline. If I fucking bother you so much, then have the balls to delete me. That's only fair and we will be out of each other's life. Don't be an immature gossip whore who sit by your computer all day and contemplate about who to drag in your restricted list. That is simply pathetic.

Now that I know I am on your restricted list it created excess thinking that I do not appreciate. (On a daily basis, I think at least 50% less than normal people - queen of spacing out.)
Bitch, should I block you as well? If I don't, then I feel like you have the advantage because I can't see any of your shit while you are perfectly updated with my life. If I do, then I will be one of you no thank you.
Bitch, why have you decided to block me? What have I fucking done that pissed you off? Oh don't think I care about her as a friend anymore. It's personal. This action has made me wonder if I am a bad person in life. I would start reflecting myself thus the excess thinking. I really don't need this shit on a Wednesday afternoon. Instead of thinking about it endlessly, I rather do something productive such as job hunting or read a book. (Due to over-thinking and writing this first entry, I have exceeded my brain capacity of the day and wound up taking a nap for three hours yay just brilliant) 

Facebook intended to be a social platform where people get to reconnect, share their opinions and upload others' with their current life. Is fb doing its job, you can be the judge. 

I am done ranting. <3
