Great Balls of Fire!

I’ve just rewatched Gone With the Wind and I caught Scarlett O’Hara’s phrase, GREAT BALLS OF FIRE once again! haha Such a lovely quote/expression if you ask me.

So only 3 days left until the reckoning and I’m thinking of holding a giveaway of some sorts. There’s so many things that are happening this month (graduation, employment issues – i wouldn’t like to call it employment, I guess searching for yourself is better, a crossing of the threshold, temporary freedom, projects, 6 month anniversary with the Order of the Lions, etc) so I was thinking, to celebrate this grandiose month of culmination and beginnings, LET’S HAVE A BALL! A GIVEAWAY! I just have no idea what to give away yet or how it will happen. I must gather up some things… to give away first! XD Will keep you guys posted via twitter or I’ll make another post as to how I’ll make this happen. Do you guys want a giveaway though?? XD And maybe I’ll have another one in May to celebrate 4 years of bloggingness on this site. Or maybe combine it… HMM HMMM HMM

Thank you to everyone who has shared their ideas of the cyber bullying issue on my last post *pls scroll down to read it, I appreciate comments!* It is interesting that most of my readers didn’t care for the methods of hacking, (aren’t you guys afraid that one person can potentially infect you with a keylogger and get your info?? :O) and how it doesn’t equate to the damage that cyberbullying inflicted. I guess it’s “revenge is sweet” right? I would like to think that hacking is still wrong, same as cyberbullying and how 2 wrongs do not make a right. BUT IT FEELS GOOD TO FEEL SOME SORT OF “JUSTICE” at its most flexible sense.

I want to talk about now the issue of “LINSANITY”. No, you haven’t heard of Lin yet? Jeremy Lin?? Well don’t worry, I’m sure non-fans of basketball wouldn’t know about him but for Asian-Americans who do, and for anybody else who do love basketball, they’d know that he is the latest rising star of the NBA. Also probably just the 4th Ivy League student who played for NBA (HARVARD, HE WENT TO HARVARD O_O ECONOMICS DEGREE. O_O *STARES* Oh and also the FIRST ASIAN-AMERICAN TO PLAY IN THE NBA (not from mainland China or Taiwan, though he has Fujian ROOTS! My ancestors came from there 8D we may be related in a soo soo soo distant past! LOL KIDDING). So yeah, that’s why they’re making a big deal out of him. At first though I just kept on reading A LOT OF tweets about this Jeremy Lin. My first though was, oh is he the one who replaced Yao Ming? From China? And then more tweets about his great plays came in and Facebook started to be flooded with a lot of Jeremy Lins (hey we’re Asians so… Chinese-Filipinos who love basketball so… there… XD) and I couldn’t take it and decided to check on who the heck is this guy. My brother isn’t here so I’m not updated with the NBA anymore.

And this is what I found.

A Youtube tutorial on “How To Get Into Harvard”. Heck he even collaborated with Nigahiga and Kevjumba BEFORE he became a star and no wonder who looked familiar coz I did see him in a vlog of Nigahiga a year ago when he was still in the Golden State Warriors and I was all, “WHO IS THIS TALL GUY?” and now he’s on the cover of TIME magazine and my dad is obsessed with him now. And my dad is obsessed only with Michael Jordan or Manny Pacquiao so this is a HUGE THING for him. It’s amazing how he’s taking everything with humility as he is a devout Christian and he just thanks the Lord for this amazing opportunity. I don’t know… maybe it’s a fluke or he’s going to choke midseason but I admire how down-to-earth he can be. This video proves that he has a great sense of humor (“if you already have glasses, GET BIGGER GLASSES”) and this hulabaloo isn’t inflating his ego (cough Kobe COUGH) YET… I hope he doesn’t change anyway. It’s also amusing to see how he struggles with speaking Mandarin but knows how to understand it and it parallels to any second generation Chinese immigrants in ANYWHERE.

So the world (NBA world) now has its eyes on Jeremy Lin… he better keep his game up!

And now I just want to end this with BRAVE. Coz I’m going to need a lot of courage this year. Definitely A LOT.

And come on, IT’S AMAZING. THIS 2 MINUTE SNEAK PEEK TRAILER IS FRIGGING AMAZING. I’ve already watched this 1000 times and I can’t get enough of it. Of Merida’s red hair. Of Scottish accents <3. Of how EPIC THE ENDING WAS. No spoilers guys. Just plain PIXAR AWESOMENESS.

I so want to get into Pixar... ANY JOB WOULD DO.

  1. Giveaways tend to get favourable responses so I’m sure your readers will love it. :) I am thinking of having a giveaway in June to commemorate dayna.me 1 year birthday – was thinking of gift box with all sorts of goodies like accessories, product samples of my favourite skincare/cosmetics and some cutesy stuff. :P

  2. 1. What do you think of the phrase, “Two wrongs do not make a right”. Agree or disagree?
    I super agree with that phrase.
    2. Do you know who Jeremy Lin is?
    I’ve been hearing his name a lot because my classmates keep talking about him. I don’t really know why he’s so famous. So is he the new Lebron? Gosh i have been missing a lot about NBA. Haven’t watched a single game since it started this year :( and btw the video is so hilarious, especially with the glasses part. I’m starting to love Lin…
    3. WHAT DID U THINK OF PIXAR’S BRAVE?

  3. YAYAYAYAYAY! You’re graduating :) That’s gotta be exciting :D
    AND YOU’RE GIVING STUFF AWAY! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

    You’re like Oprah now hahaha.

    Omg I’m over Linsanity as if i never caught it… which I guess I never did lol. I don’t care about basketball but He.Is.Talked. About.Everywhere lol. I mean I’m happy for the guy and all, but I’m totally over it. At least he seems like a good guy getting recognition for working hard (like you brought up, a Harvard economics degree isn’t a joke lol!) and not because he beat his girlfriend or got shot at a strip club like football and basketball players normally get press coverage for. So I’m glad it’s because of this at least :)

    Well, reading the rest of your blog about the video and Kobe, it seems like we totally agree hahaha. Yes, I’m so glad he’s getting recognition for good things but staying down to earth. So while I’m over Linsanity, I want it to continue :)
    Oh, and I’m totally going to see that movie, no doubt. Finally a female lead that’s awesome in a movie thats not being rescued by a prince!

    1.) I mostly agree. But sometimes it’s gotta happen… and then you can repent later lol!
    2.) -.-
    3.) OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMGOGMGOMGOGMOGMOGO! I wanna see ^-^

  5. Ah, I heard about Jeremy Lin! Also… I hear about many famous people – sports people and actors and musicians – who have degrees or have a tertiary study qualification, and on top of what they do, it’s pretty impressive. :)
    A giveaway sounds like a great idea! Depending on what you offer, I might or might not enter. Haha. I don’t want to ruin the opportunity for anyone else who really wants it.

    I love Scottish accents – you should watch Doctor Who; one of the companions is Scottish and has red hair ;) Admirable!

  6. 1. What do you think of the phrase, “Two wrongs do not make a right”. Agree or disagree?: I agree with that phrase, but I understand that many people, even me sometimes, don’t follow it in certain cases. :P

    2. Do you know who Jeremy Lin is?: Yes, I learned of Jeremy Lin when my dad was watching a basketball game between his team and another. He was being interviewed and I asked my dad who he was (because you just rarely see Asians playing in the NBA and I knew Yao Ming has long been retired). My dad didn’t know at the time (now he def. do, haha) and he assumed he was drafted from China or something, but I was like, “Uh, he speaks PERFECT English.” xD And not only that, he had a way of talking that only meant he was born in the U.S. and I was right! He’s from Palo Alto – a city somewhat close to where I live right here in Northern California. I am proud of where he’s gotten in his life and it’s great he has all these fans. :)
    3. WHAT DID U THINK OF PIXAR’S BRAVE?: At first, I was like “eh” about it. But it looks good and funny. I’m always like “eh” for some Pixar films, though, haha. Like for Wall-E, I thought it would be sort of ridiculous, but I ended up really liking it.

    - Super AGREE.

    2. Do you know who Jeremy Lin is?
    -Yes. but just a little. All I know is, he is a Harvard Student/Graduate (not sure) and a Basketball Superstar. :)
    3. WHAT DID U THINK OF PIXAR’S BRAVE?
    - I’ve always been a fan in Pixar. So I’ll be bias. :P I think Brave is a good movie! :) Can’t wait to watch it! :)
