I dun had my very first ever real Mexican standoff (is this racist to say?) with Happy Vally bus #1 today. And goddamnit, i lost!! The first bus very rudely sped off without ever hitting 0 MPH. The second one, in my reality, never showed up. I waited and waited for an eternity, but that bus knew it was dealing with one of the most unpatient little asian girls ever. I wanted to win so bad. But I guess not bad enough...I finally said F it, hopped in a cab and never looked back...for fear of that #1 bus trailing immediately behind.
Anyways, as they say all things happen for a reason! I now know the origins of said Mexican standoff.
I then stopped by a fruit stand to buy some cherries (which i decided almost two years ago would be my new favorite fruit after gorging on them during my week-long quality time with moms before I deserted her for asia. only then did i really realize how meaty they are). I mindlessly accepted $80 HKD for 1lb of cherries to be an alright deal. That's $10 USD. I only had $40 on me so I said give me half a lb. After removing a few cherries to balance it out, the lady handed me a bag with 10 cherries (approximately). That's $5 USD - though I'm sure you got that. They weren't even polished and perfect. There was bruising going on for sure. So after mumbling under my breath a bit, I sheepishly said i didn't want them anymore that they were too expensive. To my surprise the lady took them back! Very unlike HK (good moment there). Though, she did so not without the matching of the mumbling under the breath.
i can't resist posting this photo. i've resigned myself to the trappings of aunt-dom long ago...
so doesn't jordan look like jason scott lee from the jungle book?? told my sis to throw that boy in a pair of red rag undies and a wrap a stuffed toy snake around his neck for halloween. yeah, it's months away but u can never plan ur costume too early! or else you end up putting on all black and going as a lame goth chick.
I just finished checking out the Missbehave Newsflash: Boys! Boys! Boys! which took me on a flashback. The roots to all my boy crushes….CHRISTIAN SLATER. Couple years ago, I blogged about the movie Gleaming the Cube (where my love for skater boys officially blossomed) here on Missbehave. Christian Slater played a HOT skater looking for justice for his step brother’s death. Girls! I’m thinking some of you weren’t even born when this movie came out. If you haven’t watched it yet, GO RENT IT STAT. After you have watched Gleaming the Cube, then you can move on to this next movie. Pump Up the Volume.
Remember how during the teen years most of us went through some awkward stage where we couldn’t relate to your parents nor your school mates? Where we were rebelling against something? Trying to break out and find our true self? Christian Slater plays a teenager, new to town, loner in school who has a radio system set up at home where expresses his teen angst on an unauthorized radio frequency at night. Nobody knows who the radio host is, but slowly starts relating to him.
I haven’t watched this movie since I was in my late teens. I remember relating to it back then. It’s just a must watch Slater movie…after Gleaming the Cube.
