Kong was Beautiful

Say what you will about the King Kong movie but I loved it. Surely not an all time favorite but definitely one to commend. Other than the obvious beauty and the beast theme, the movie showed how selfish, oblivious, senseless, idiotic, obtrusive, and destructive us morons can be. Taking Kong from his natural habitat and bringing him to the city simply to satiate people's curiosity was an excellent idea at the time but completely inhumane. I truly thought that Kong wasn't going to die in THIS version of the remake but what would be the lesson then? My guess is, nobody cried at the end. Well I did because I realized more than half the world still thinks that beauty killed the beast; that we are still living in the Kong world, metaphorically speaking. I cried because we still haven't changed - we continue to live selfishly wthout conern for other inhabitants of the world.

Boobah

I hate Boobah. That stupid looking thing resembles more of a big fat squishy blob than a stuffed animal. Or, it looks like a mutated Barney. I wonder who designed it. Why would kids even like that thing anyway? My kid would certainly scream seeing those big white eyes and freaky distorted head in the middle of the night. Walmart had tons of them stacked up in a bin. I felt like using one of them to scare the kids away, scarred by Boobah forever!

Hmmm...man! What am I talking about? I am really glad that my presentation is over. I realized that I kind of enjoyed talking to people about my research. For the first time, I felt comfortable and not as nervious. One more presentation to go, two more papers, and three more final exams until I am free! I have a list of home improvement projects lined up. On May 12th, my normal life is back.

Oooo, my New Balance shoes finally came. Everyone thought they were nice. They were really comfy. New Balance never fails me. And I also bought another bag. Well, it was Earth Day and I had a booth right next to the guy selling these Thailand handmade bags. I saw it in the beginning and knew I had to get it. But I played a little fate, waiting for other people to buy it. But noooooo, it was still there at the end! So yeah, I had to get it. Hmmm, why do women find shopping so fun but men always stay 10 miles away from malls?

Let's Cheer for the Cheerios!

Love these babies :) The yogurt ones are so delicious! You can eat these as snacks or plain old cereal. When you fill an entire bowl with these in the morning, it's like a treasure hunt - picking out the yogurt ones.

2006 Auto Show in Honolulu

We went to the 2006 Auto Show in Honolulu yesterday and it was a blast! Below are some of my favorite cars. Out of all the cars, the pearl-colored convertible bug speaks my character. When I sat in it, it felt like I belong there and I can see myself going everywhere with that car. I have always loved the Mini Cooper and the Z Car. The color of the Z Car actually changes at different angle, so cool! Now, the car I find most exciting and unique is the Lexus hybrid. Dude, this thing has automatic everything!!! Push a button and things start moving in the car. Touch screen control is clear and informational. Definitly a car to consider. Finally, the car that I will definitly get if I need a car is the Nissan Maxima (My Maxi). I had a Maxima a while ago and I miss it ALOT! This car is light with 265hp. It is a semi-sports car and handles beautifully. Even though thie 2006 model is a little heavier, I don't think I will ever fall in love with another car.

New Balance

I love New Balance and I am dying to buy these athletic sandles! So, which color you think is better? Runner #1 (grey/pink) or Runner #2 (pink/white)?
