I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack~

Back to listening to Panic! at the Disco, my ex-favorite band of all time. :D

(FYI, from left to right: Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross, Brendon Urie, Jon Walker. Now, P!ATD only consists of Brendon and Spencer)

Man, this feels so nostalgic...I still miss the old members, Ryan and Jon, and hope for the day that all of P!ATD will reunite. :(

Anyways, the new stuff looks really good! I especially love 'Let's Kill Tonight' and 'The Ballad of Mona Lisa'. And wow, just realized that I've broken away from P!ATD for about...2 years? Ever since that they broke up, that is hehe"

Haha, I first learnt of it on radio, but it was only a brief mention so I thought it was a joke lol. Then, when I found out for real, I was ready to fall of my seat. In all honesty, I was very very shocked and very very heartbroken. I was mostly upset cuz my favorite member, Ryan Ross, was leaving to form a new band or do other stuff while Brendon and Spencer continue with P!ATD. But thing is, Ryan was the one who formed the band so without him, P!ATD might not even have existed. And Ryan has such a cute face! Hahaha...okay.

Anyways, I researched as much as I could about the split but even all that explanation couldn't quench my anger/sadness. In the end, I stopped paying attention to P!ATD completely. I mean, I still like them but I'm not that into them anymore. Until....that one fanfic was brought to existence. (LOL fails at being dramatic hehe")

It was a bunch of guys forming a band and one of the songs the author used for the fic was 'Let's Kill Tonight'. So when I saw that it was by P!ATD, this wave of nostalgia washed over me and I was like, "Damn..."

The author even mentioned that the song was really good. That piqued my interest, so I went to check it out andddddd LOVED IT. I then listened to the rest of the Vices & Virtues album and fell in love with P!ATD again~

Sigh...feels so nostalgic. =w=

Ok fine, in the middle, a friend let me listen to some of the new P!ATD stuff. I thought it was great but I never thought much of it. Until now hehe. :D

That one special day

11.11.11

That one special day.

Of the century.

It's a really special day.

So I should spend it doing special things.

Like what?

Oh, I don't know...how about attending a Peer Leaders' training at school during holiday.

Yes, that's right. A goddamned Peer Leaders' training. At SCHOOL.

Which is why I'm so flippin' pissed right now! The teacher-in-charge just sent an email saying that she has changed the training to that one special day and there's no way to re-reschedule it. Well, I haven't tried asking but still, do you think 11.11.11 will be a good reason to change the date? And AFA is on that day!! Even though the event lasts until the 13th but it's not the same!

So far, out of all the Peer Leaders' trainings I've attended, only one I found fun. If this training is not up to that standard, that day will be the official WORST day of my life. I know I sound like a whiny bitch and all but come on, 11.11.11!! Who wants to spend it in school learning about compassion and understanding towards school people who give less of a shit about you for 7 FLIPPIN' HOURS??

Who the hell is that?

I love my sis. I've never loved her more. She is so awesome (yes Prussia, awesomer than you! *is attacked by angry Gilbirds*) Ahem, okay anyway, she is beyond epic. Why? Okay, I'll tell ya.

I was watching Hetalia one day in my room, with my laptop screen facing the door. At that time, the clip was showing Canada. Quite a lot of Canada.

Suddenly, my sis barges in, runs up to my screen (showing Canada) and goes,"Who the hell is that?!?"

HYAHAHAHAHAHAHA~

Another time is when I got my sis to watch Hetalia with me. Then, the clip showed America and she was like, "Who's that? Canada?"

EPIC AWESOME.

Ninth August and Patriotism

Happy birthday to the little red dot! Haha! XD

NDP is being broadcasted on TV right now and my sis is less than elated cuz that means they won't be showing her favourite drama. Sucks for her haha!

Now, regarding this special day for Singaporeans worldwide, I came across this facebook post by one my Korean friends:

"Umm do i have to celebrate some foreign country's birthday when my heart is in my homeland? Even though i am far away from you, my loyalty for you will not disappear cos i love you Korea! ♥"

I noticed in the comments that some Singaporeans felt offended by the use of the phrase "some foreign country". I don't blame them.

However, I agree with my friend too. Being in a country miles from your own and not being able to celebrate it's birthday with fellow countrymen (other than your family), it feels sad. Yes, I know there are other fellow countrymen in Singapore too, but throughout my stay in Singapore, we never really celebrate our nation's independence day at such a large scale. At least, my family doesn't. The only Vietnamese holiday we celebrate is prolly Tet (Lunar New Year) but others, not really.

And to us foreigners, Singapore IS technically a "foreign country". We may live here, study here, have friends here...and Singapore's a great place (has anyone checked out Clarke Quay at night? Awesome to the max!) but our hearts still belong to our motherlands. It's like people say, "You can take a man out of China, but you can never take China out of a man."

Wow, I feel this huge burst of patriotism in my heart right now. I love you, Vietnam!! <3 *glomps her nation-tan*

Personal rant alert. Clicking 'close' button is recommended.

Okay so today I'm going to rant about my bad experiences with fans and anti-fans. Yup, so that means ppl might be offended. I'll be using Hetalia as a base. If you happen to be a SUPER-DUPER obsessive fan of...well, any fandom or an obsessive hater of any fandom, I suggest you close this window/tab now.....

.....Oh you're still here? Well, I did warn you....Anywaaaayyy,

I don't like it when fans force their fave fandoms, charas, pairings,etc. on other ppl. I mean, I respect your enthusiasm but if ppl don't like it, they don't like it. So shut up and leave them alone. I'm basically okay with fans acting.....well, like seals on ecstasy when fangirling cuz I'm a really tolerant person but I get pissed when they go all, "OMG YOU HAVE TO LOVE USUK IT'S THE CUTEST SEXIEST AWESOMEST @#$$-EST COUPLE EVAAA!!" and repeat that for the entire time they are with you. Yeesh....

And I hate it when ppl ostracize you just because you don't like a particular pairing, character, fandom, etc. I mean, come on, THEY ARE FICTIONAL. (the characters, not the countries) The world isn't going to end just because someone doesn't find Spamano appealing.

Another thing I find slightly pissing is when fans proclaim their support for a certain pairing but give no intellectual reasons why. I've visited various forums discussing pairings and I get a bit annoyed when most of them are "GERITA FOREVAA~~!!" or "USUK ROX MY SOX!! <3" sort of posts. I love hearing others' opinions about their fave pairings but I mainly want to know WHY. Telling me how much awesome-er they are than Prussia is not considered a reason. I wanna know WHY. Why do you like USUK? The angst? The fluffiness? The 'special relationship'? The historical drama? Their personalities? Because America brings all of England's cute tsundere-ness? If so, can't France do the same? No? Then, why not? Ahhh yes, I love well-rounded discussions. =w=

I understand how some ppl become anti-fans but please, lay down on the insensitivity. ): I know you're pissed off with the fandom, chara, pairing, etc., you don't have to be mean about it. I love discussions so can't we all just sit down and talk about your reasons for not liking the fandom, chara, pairing, etc.? Calling something/someone names is just gonna everyone a headache.

All in all, fandoms are for ENTERTAINMENT. I don't get why ppl have to be so serious about them that forum wars break loose and what not. THEY ARE CREATED FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AMUSEMENT, FUN, ETC. Not for ppl to hack into others accounts because of some online argument over a fandom. Wow, so this is what my Social Studies teacher meant about 'Power of the Media'. Anyway, that concludes my rant. Good night~

FrUK

There's always been a reason why I've never liked USUK, despite it having the largest fanbase in Hetalia. There's no balance. Or little balance. Their personalities may complement each other and yes, I admit, they look so adorable and hot together! But still, my heart stays with FrUK.

It's a relationship of balance, of equals, of mutual understanding, molded from a thousand years' worth of alliances and wars. According to Wikipedia, France's and England's (or UK, but I prefer to call him England) relationship started from the days of the Roman Empire. That's really going way back. England and France also hold the record of fighting the LONGEST war to date aka the Hundred Years' War (Though I've heard of a 300+ years war but there wasn't much fighting).

Not only that, they had 2 of the largest empires during the 19th - 20th centuries colonial period. They tore at each others' skins, bones and hearts. Whatever France gave, England would return it with the same amount of force. And this just keeps going on! They became superpowers together and declined together. DOESN'T THAT JUST SPELL SOMETHING??!!

And who else can talk about beating the crap out of England and fucking him senseless all at the same time? I don't think America can deliver it same way France does.

The way I see it, USUK is like a kind of....teenage romance kinda thing. Or not. I'm sorry, but to me, America has never seemed to understand most things. Take the American Revolution strip for example. He knows that the war would hurt England greatly, but to what extent? How hurt is England? Would he be able to wrap a comforting arm around England's shoulder later and say "Hey, I can totally understand how you feel." I heard that France was on America's side during the Revolution so....France lost Jeanne, England lost America. THE EQUAL-NESS. That's the major reason why FrUK is my OTP. :)

Sorry for boring you with all this FrUK talk hehe. Okay, I'm ranting about this now because I just read a really tear-jerker, angsty FrUK fic that is like, the epitome of FrUK. It's called "A Note for Your Love", if I'm not wrong. Sorry, I can't bring myself to post the link cuz it's just too....I CAN'T BEAR TO LOOK AT IT. I'll just cry again! JUST GO READ IT. Yes, it's on ff.net. :)

On a side note, why can't schools have "Discuss your OTP" as an essay topic? Even if I fail it, it'd be my most favourite essay assignment ever!
