it's journal posting time
It seems our family Christmas dealio wasn't as eventful this year as it has been before. It was best described as alot of Guitar Hero 3 and too many failed attempts at getting a chance to watch Superbad.
I realize that I don't communicate w/ family very well. Specifically, aunts, uncles, and all them. It really is mostly a language barrier. I know I could just have a slightly normal english conversation with them, but I feel more comfortable/less awkward speaking to them in Vietnamese, but the thing is... I hardly know any Vietnamese. In the past like 5 years, my vietnamese is dying out fast. Hell, at home, 99% of the time I'm speaking English. I mean, I guess it's nothing really to worry about except for the traditional mindset that I should be able to know much more of my language than I do now.
Ok, one of my uncles is a priest, and whenever any one of our cousins marries, of course he would be that priest to perform the ceremony. Would it be wrong for me to not want him to be the priest for my wedding? Like, he's seriously an amazing priest and person, but there's just some personal values that I, as well as most of my cousins, don't agree with. Or well, for better wording, my uncle is under that closeminded-traditionalistic mindset that seriously really puts us off.
Speaking of family... I hate it when my aunts and uncles can talk bad about all us cousins but no one can talk bad about their kids. Or how they don't like us b/c of our bad influence or whatever bull they wanna say. I also don't like how they're calling me lazy for not having a job when they won't even let their own kids work because they gotta go to school. Um. hellooo. I go to school, too. I also don't like being accused of acting like a rich kid. Like, how do I even act like a rich kid? I mean, holy crap, I complain about gas prices all the time.
I seriously can't wait for Spring semester to start. No writing class to kill my mood. I'm helping out w/ some video trailer promotions for FSA's Sayaw event. Fresh Off the Beat will have a new performance for Sayaw, Asia Beauty Pageant, and possibly Phil-fest
It feels good to know I have enough extra money from fall semester financial aid for food and gas money for spring semester.
Whoever said editing actions videos is a lot harder than editing drama or romance videos needs to get his ass kicked so freakin bad. I can do action videos, but lately, the past few stuff I've been trying to work on were basically like drama/romance/non-action videos and all I gotta say is... holy shit, these amvs are so hard for me to do. Maybe it's because I've never done a nonaction AMV before, but still. deng this video I'm trying to work on is gonna take so much longer to finish than I hoped for, and I didn't really plan on making it big(as if I ever really do) or anything. I hope this doesn't happen to me when I do my Acen video.
