Next chapter, please!
Right after dinner tonight I excitedly parked myself on our couch and got ready for yet another Once Upon A Time catch-up marathon. Guys, I seriously have so much love for this series. I first gushed about it here, and it was definitely love at first sight. Can I marry this series? I want to marry it and have tons of magical babies with it!
Anyway, so there I was with my mug of cinnamon-laced coffee, hoping I’d have at least three or so episodes left to watch, only to be beyond crushed when the episode I was watching turned out to be the finale. NOOOOOOO!!! But I want to know what will happen neeeeeext!!! Season 2 won’t start until October?! THAT IS TOO FAR AWAAAAAAAY!!!
If you haven’t seen this series, then please watch it! It’s really adorable, and I love how they do these interesting twists in re-telling the fairy tales we’ve known. Even if you’re not a huge fan of fairy tales (if so, then I’m mighty curious to know what kind of childhood you’ve had. And here’s a virtual hug from me *hugs*), you’ll find something you’ll like about it. Are you into fashion? The Evil Queen’s gowns are to-die-for. How about a good action sequence? Snow White here kicks ass. Got a penchant for villains with a cause? Cue in Rumplestiltskin and Regina (aka Evil Queen). Cute boys? Keep an eye out for the Huntsman. Or watch The Vampire Diaries, haha!
They showed a good pool of fairy tale characters in this season, and these are the secondary characters whose back stories I loved best:
Belle, Jiminy Cricket, Red Riding Hood, Mad Hatter, and He-Whose-Identity-I Shall-Keep-A-Secret-For-Now, because he’s an integral part of the story. I don’t want to spoil it, in case you’re planning to watch the show. He is bad-ass though, I love him!
The producers said they will definitely be introducing more familiar characters in the second season – Aladdin, Rapunzel, and – OH TO THE EM TO THE GEE OH DEE – THE LITTLE MERMAID.
GAAJFOIHASOGFHOGIAHSGIUH..!!! October, hurry up already!
Wish in life

Hello, sunshine!
One of the reasons why I love watching American Idol this season is because they show this commercial a lot:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! OMG I swear, never fails to crack me up! Intensity Level 10 ang emote ni ate!
Guesswhatguesswhat? We’ve been coasting along on over 20-degree temperatures lately, which is fanFREAKINGtastic! I used to think that the theory of the weather having a direct effect on people’s mood or well-being is just a whole lot of hooey made up by a group of people who want to make an excuse for their grumpiness during Winter months. But you know what? Turns out it IS true. And I’m feeling it too. Scientifically speaking, sunshine is a natural source for Vitamin D, and Vitamin D increases serotonin (a.k.a. the mood neurotransmitter). Also, after experiencing a 6-month cold stretch, it’s just impossible to get all Debbie Downer when the weather is so gorgeous and perfect and sunny. Honestly it feels like a whole new world out there! Ohmyod ohmygod ohmygoood this is making me so happy! Where are my maracas?! I’m gonna start a samba dance to express my joy! Lemme throw a pocketful of glitters in the air! Holla Mr. Sushine!! LET’S HUG IT OUT BROTHAAAA!!
Sweating the small stuff
I know they say that you shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. But c’mon let’s be honest here — there are some things, no matter how petty or small they are, that irks us. A word, a smell, or a sound that sends the muscles at the back of our neck to tighten, our teeth to clench, and our foot to involuntarily twitch. I’m guilty of experiencing all such symptoms, and off the top of my head, here are some of the culprits:
1. People wearing non-prescription “nerd glasses”.
First of all the term “nerd glasses” is irritating all by its lonesome already. Second, I don’t understand why people with 20/20 vision would don something that would compromise the perfect way they see things. So they could look cool? Is it because Zooey Deschanel makes it look so cute? So they can look “smart”? Geezuz, go get a book, learn something and GET SMART FOR REAL.
I’ve been wearing glasses since high school, and I know that wearing them can be a pain (the alternative, contact lenses, aren’t much fun either). I’d gladly do without them, but I can’t, unfortunately. It really vexes me when people ask me if my glasses are real. “Oh, nice glasses! That’s the “in” thing right now, isn’t it?” NYAAAAAAARGHHH!!! My glasses are real as real can be!! I am not wearing these to be “in”! There is NOTHING cool about not being able to see 6 feet in front of you clearly!
Damn you poser people!!
2. The term “wifey”.
Eeeek I’m getting an anxiety attack just typing that word. Second place goes to “boi”.
3. Excessive dropping or adding of unnecessary letters to words.
We all shorten some words (“That is frickin’ good!”, “C’mon”), and I think that’s perfectly acceptable. I mean, even KFC does it (“Finger lickin’ good!”). But there are some who overdo it to the point of nosebleed. “Hangin’ out wit mah peepz an’ jus chillin’” Look, if it’s a one-time, joke-time thing, that’s fine, I’ll let it slide and ha-ha-haaa there’s an obligatory polite laugh for you. But if ALL your sentences sound like that and you mix it in with other migraine-inducing phrases and wrong spellings like “How’s you and Jane’s trip, you and me have been loosing touch tell meeeee!!”
….*starts pulling at hair* Here’s a Grammar book. Learn it. Live it. Love it. PLEASE.
4. When my nails start growing past the fleshy tips of my fingers.
Aaah this is all me haha. Sometimes I forget that my nails grow so fast and when they start creeping a smidge beyond the fleshy tips, that’s already too long for comfort for me. I get very restless and I need to get access to a nail cutter stat.
5. People who always talk to themselves out loud.
Have you ever been around these kind of people? I have. It really bugs me, because I never know quite what to do around them. Are you talking to me or not? Because if you are and I don’t answer, I’m being rude. And if you’re not and I answer, I’m still being rude. I CAN’T WIN WITH THESE PEOPLE!
There isn’t even any solid reason behind some of my petty pet peeves…and you know what? I think that’s okay. As long as it’s not taking over my life, I think pet peeves are okay to have. We all need a little something to ruffle our feathers a bit, otherwise our life would be boring. :p Hey they even make for funny rant sessions when you come across certain people who share the same peeves! So nope, I’m not going to dig deep, deep, deeeeep down in myself to justify my irritation. It’s human nature, and does not in any way make me seem crazy. I think. (It doesn’t, right? RIGHT??) And if I know you personally and do one of the things I just mentioned, don’t worry I will most definitely not unfriend you over it. Just don’t wear your non-prescription “nerd glasses” around me. Ha! :p
