Wii U's Price and Release Date Announcement

Nintendo's Wii U has been fully revealed and explored during this years E3. In fact, it was the main course in their presentation! But no date of release or price was revealed at E3 with only an ambiguous "We'll announce it later on during 2012" kind of a statement. Well finally I have date for when they are going to tell us the release date and price! Let's hear for it:

September 2012

Yes, so around my 20th birthday is when we'll get to hear about the Wii U's release date and its price. Many fans and critics are speculating that the console will probably be released for the winter holidays since Nintendo is known for releasing things during that particular time. Let's all wait with bated breath and cross our fingers for the best. 

We'll see how popular the Wii U will become and how much the price cut for the PS3 and XBox 360 during the Winter Holidays will affect its sales. Me being a Nintendo fan more than the others can't help but say "Fighting!" Or in Korean:

Love Song

Hey guys, I know it has been a while. We've been occupied for a while. I wasn't in the mood for studying so now I'm writing a blog post! No no no, you guys aren't a .. rebound. It's just ... yeah whatever :D


So today I would like to discuss love songs. While I was listening to Taylor Swift's Back to December: 

I realized that almost all of songs out there are love songs or something related to love. Now I know its not the first time someone's thought this. Hell, its not the first time I thought of it and I know everyone already knows this in the back of their head, BUTT and a big BUT why?! .. Yeah, yeah I know its because love songs are probably the easiest to write about and the easiest people can relate to. And when it comes down to it, no one really cares about random songs. I mean if I was to sing about the wonders of hugging a teddy bear, no one is really going to give a shit. But I mean some songs get popular even when they aren't a love song right? Japanese people seem to be good at making some non love songs... or at least I know of one and it happens to be Japanese. 

Okay.. nevermind. I thought this song was about butts, but its a break up mourning song (Lyrics meaning here) that killed my only non love song I could think of. Well if you guys know any non love songs, feel free to send me the link. I would love to hear it.

What is Love

Hello guys, I'm on a blogging roll I know! It's cause I have a lot of things on my mind lately, and I want to share them with you guys.


Yesterday, I was talking to Sunny for a good 5 hours. Well towards the end, our conversation went from being silly and random to really meaningful stuff like about the people we know and our concerns about them and their personalities, religion and different philosophical concepts that our tiny 19 year old brains tried the best to make out of. At the end Sunny asked me what was love? She knew what love was, but she didn't quite understand the love that was being shared between man and woman. The feelings that I had for the specific person that I did. And I told her that it was mainly two things about the guy (or a girl if you are a guy): Lust, and the willingness to spend the rest of your life with that person.


I told her that I honestly believe that love is the same regardless of who you love whether it be your family, friends or your lover. I told her that in the end, love itself is that you care deeply for that person. You think about that person, you worry for them if something happens to them, and you'll do your best to help them when the situation arises.


So she asked me: "Then what's the whole point and big deal of liking someone? Like a guy?"


I told her what I will tell you guys now. When you love someone in the lover way, its nothing different, but the feeling of "Oh, I want to sleep with him, and touch him, and let him touch me." But it's also that you want to spend the rest of your life with him. See, you love your friends, your families, but you want to leave them after a certain period of time. You won't be together till the end of your days. You might still keep in contact and meet up, but not spend your almost every waking and sleeping hours with them. That's the difference. With the person you love as a lover, you want to spend the rest of your days with. You guys are compatible enough to let it be so.


So when you "fall for someone" or "fall in love" it isn't a first sight thing, though it can be. So girls, when your guy is good with kids and he's very loving to them, and you feel your heartstrings vibrate and think "he might be the one." it basically means "I might be able to spend the rest of my life with him." Or guys, when you and your girl is sitting on the couch enjoying a video game and eating pizza, it might hit you that "I can probably spend the rest of my life with this person.", that's the difference!!! Its that feeling mixed with lust that we call LOVE between lovers. In the end though, you''ll risk your life for you lover as you would with a dear friend or a family member. LOVE itself is the same. But the.. connection is different? There is no such thing as "I love more". Love is love, just as hate is hate and pain is pain.


I think the reason why "love" becomes such a big deal is because of the media that is associated with it. There are the holidays like Valentines day and than the anniversaries like your yearly or monthly or things like that. They blow it up, and make it sound like its the greatest thing in the world and the only thing that keeps some people going. Love is wonderful. But feeling happy that you found the best friend who will stick with you through thick and thin is the same feeling of finding someone you will be able to spend the rest of your life with. Its the feeling of mutual caring that is wonderful. Lust just magnifies the other. If it was normal to sleep with your friend, I'm sure we would think that friendship is better.


Here's an example why society and lust changes things. During the ancient Greek times, they believed the relationship between man and man were more important. At least a famous Greek philosopher described that. I can't remember who, I don't want to dig up my old history book. The Spartans believed that as well. Women was a necessity, but the relationship between the men were far more valuable. That might also explain why gays were much more common during that time era and area. I even told my gay friend this who had some issues about his homosexuality, but that's another issue all together that I'll address another day.


I don't know if my point went across but I'll finish with my last example. The guy I like Brian, if you logically think about isn't that great. He smokes, doesn't think about his grades too much, might do drugs, hangs out with shady people, and is mainly loud obnoxious and annoying. Then why do I like him? Simple!


That one fateful day when I sat with him and had  a normal conversation, and he kindly made sure to keep his cigarette out of my face was the answer! That fateful day, the "eek moment" showed that: 1) Even when he was normally annoying and obnoxious, when it was just the two of us, he was very normal and the conversations was very pleasant and 2) That he was considerate and had enough noon chee (sharpness, perceptiveness) to realize that I didn't smoke, and I was the type that probably didn't tolerate it, which he was dead on right.
To me that's very important in a relationship. That a guy has enough noon chee to know when to talk and when to not and such. And I also put a lot of importance in being able to hold a casual conversation about nothing. To me, that's the recipe of a successful relationship with anybody. Grades and ability to succeed in society is important as well, but its not everything because its something that I think I can take care of myself. I'm independent enough to think that I don't need the guy to do everything for us to live. I can pull my own weight! So the reason why I fell for him and not Sunny (who has mainly these qualities as well) is because I thought he was attractive when I first laid my eyes on him. I'm attracted to the male population and he had an ascetically pleasing appearance to me. Lust is an important factor as well!


So all you gals and gents out there and specifically Sunny who is very clueless about this I'll tell you this: When you like someone, you automatically think he's the ONE. The "kyaaa" moment is basically the realization. The dating process is to see for sure if he is the person you want to be with and possibly marry and live together till "death do us part".


All lovers are basically scientists when dating. They are trying to prove their statement of love and undying loyalty wrong and if they can't be proved wrong, it becomes a theory, law, or in this case, love.


Hope I helped clarify things for you guys.

Nice Guys

Single's Awareness Day, just another Tuesday... or Valentine's Day, there are a variety of names for the most romantic, and for others the most lonely, commercial holiday; it all depends on your standpoint on love.  For me, it was more than just another Tuesday, in fact, i had THREE mofukin' tests to cram for, meaning it wasn't a normal day.  Basically my February 14th was spent on campus mostly in the library until 9:30 studying like a madwoman.  I do not have a boyfriend, husband, fiance or whatever so... apart from my brain popping, it did not bother me much that my day was spent being a last minute nerd.  However, Kira expressed to me her mortification at the fact that she was spending her last teenage Valentine's Day single... so for her.. it was THE Ultimate Single's Awareness Day... poor girl

Sooooo that was my Tuesday.  Since Valentine's Day is a celebration of "love," Kira and I got thinking about what is love?? wana know? well I believe Kira will be discussing our conclusions in her next post.  If she doesn't, I'll write it, but 'neways on the side, I thought about why I don't find "nice guys" to be my cup of tea.

DISCLAIMER

**I'm not saying being nice is a bad trait so for all you nice people, stay nice!! Its an awesome thing.. but if you want a girl, do nice right.**

So to start I would like to get the fact across that I'm speaking from experience.  This particular experience with this friend will hopefully get the message across.

Back in high school, I had a friend; lets call him Fred.  Fred and I got along very well.  I spoke to him everyday as he sat behind me in class and I said, "hi" to him whenever I saw him.  I was not leading him on, I just saw him as a person, a friend, NOT a guy.  He also seemed comfortable being that way; he never had a girlfriend and didn't SEEM to be looking for one, he hangs out with an equal amount of girls and guys, and he's just a well rounded nice guy.  I can say with certainty, every girl who spoke to him felt the way I did.

So, my classmates were having this conversation about something that was popular at the time, and it just so happened that both of us had never seen it.  In the midst of the excitement, we both said, "Omg we have to see it."  So we did.  Before going, two of my close friends warned me it was like a date, but i shooed away their concerns and went saying, "He's just a friend," and boy was I wrong... it was totally a date and I freaked out.

After that, I became uncomfortable with him.  We were still friends, but it wasn't the same as before.  One moment we were buddies, next a date?  He missed a step in between.  In fact he didn't make it clear it was a date nor did he hint at his intent. (I admit.. I was a little naive... 1guy + 1girl + hangout =.. yeahhhhh)  I guess he just took me by surprise because I didn't feel that intent when we decided to go and going was just in the spur of the moment.

So around prom season, I found out, he was going to ask me, but I absolutely did not want to go with him.  It was awkward.  I mean, the "date" wasn't horrible, but it still left a bad after taste.  I suppose the question I'm supposed to answer for you readers is "why not the nice guy?" Its a weird thing, I guess he was too nice.  Too nice and unisex; I just couldn't imagine him as a guy.  It was a major turn off.  Being the "nice guy" just isn't enough.  There are A TON of nice people with something more to offer than kindness.  You want a girl.. be something more than transparent!!!  Have a presence, confidence, and be more than just nice.  By presence I mean a quality that is unique or defines you as a person.  Looking back, the only trait I can name is that he was nice.  He never spoke about his hobbies, he didn't really say much about anything; he just kept the conversation flow comfortable, and that is why he is labeled "The Nice Guy."


The guy was genuinely nice, but he was too foreign to me, so the date creeped me out.  Being too nice makes it difficult to speak heart to heart or speak your mind because lets face it, not every word that comes out of the average person's mouth is rainbows nd unicorns... so to me, the "nice guy" involves too much tip toeing that I can never feel comfortable.  ITS JUST UNNATURAL TO BE SO GENUINELY NICE... I'm too used to gossipy girls, shallow guys... just average people.  I just want a balance like... nice with a touch of black lol (someone who can relate to the real world).  Basically, the nice guy taking interest in me felt like the equivalent to hearing Michael Jackson's smooth creepy voice when he speaks.  Even if Michael isn't saying anything weird... his voice is too gentle and sends shivers down my spine. IDK I hope you understand this funky metaphor... Kira did.  That was weird... but its exactly the way I felt with Fred.

He is the cursed nice guy.  Unable to get a girl even though there is nothing wrong with him.  Only seen as a friend and nothing else.

So for all you guys who are too nice and wondering whats missing? There is a solution! Well I think you all are great friend material, but a girl looking for love wants a MAN not a awkwardly kind person without genitals.  Its alright to be nice, but if you want a girl, you better BRING OUT YA MANLY SIDE.

Dating Beautiful People Sucks

Hey guys,I have something I want to discuss/rant today. 

I don't know how many times I heard people say "No, I only want to date hot people" Or "Hell no, I won't ever date , him, he's bleeping ugly!!" In fact, I've been getting some peanuts lately because I like someone who's "below" me. So instead of just being the bigger woman and getting over it, I'm going to make all of YOU guys think like me and start going after ugly people! Well not ugly people, but people you actually get along with and hold conversations with instead of just mindless making out and camwhoring.

Reason One: You're probably not that gorgeous. At least, not as gorgeous as that person.  I'm serious! You probably aren't! The reason why you think the other person is so bleeping HOTTT is because the person is better looking than you!!! You're probably thinking "well no duh!! That's why I want to date him and hold him and bleep bleep bleeeeeeep!". But you gotta remember, YOU'RE NOT GORGEOUS!!! 


What does that mean?!? If this person is dating you cause you somehow convinced him or tricked him into liking you, but you're mainly dating him cause he's smoking hot (sorry if you’re a guy. Just change all the he's with she's) then you probably won't have the confidence and secure-ness that comes with dating someone whom you just truly love and get a long with. That means every waking hour you have when you're not with him, you'll be thinking things like: "Omg, what if he meets a smoking hot girl at work today and he goes off with her into the sunset and deflower her!" Or maybe even "He's going to that video game convention, and I just know that he's going to meet some hot gamer slut and they'll hit it off right away and I'll be history eating ice-cream all day." Yeah, you'll become a paranoid wreck, kind of like me. And as much as I love myself,  being a paranoid wreck is tiring and not everyone can do it. Just trust me, its not fun.

Reason Two: The dude's going to get ugly SOMETIME in the future. He's not going to be a suave and sexy and bleeping when you guys start hitting your 60's and 70's. Oh no, the wrinkles will settle in, the hair colors will give out, and he'll have no  more abs for you to stroke. And when all that goodness melts away with age, you'll be stuck with someone who's probably conceited and just a bleeping jerk. Then you'll become angry and divorce him and be alone with thoughts like "well, he's all alone too."

Well girls, I have bad news for you. When an old guy tries to go for a girl, he can pull off the sexy look. All he has to do is get a bathrobe, comb back his hair (You know, the Don Equis Look) and say "Hey ladies, look at how sexy I am with my grays and blacks, my red soft velvety robes and this glass of alco-hol in my hands all swishy swashy."
Example:

But a girl trying to pull the sexy and get a nice strapping young lad, after popping babies?!?! It'll go something like this:

"Hey you FINE thing, how about you and me go ride off into the sunset and we'll deflower you. " -Smoke cigarette and smack red lips-
He'll just say "Get away from me you ugly hag!"

The whole point of this entry? I spend way too much time alone and need to go out more. But. also to date people you actually can get along with and spend hours at a time with. That way, you can be with someone for-like-ever!

Buh bye now.
