100th Post brought to you by Smirnoff Ice and Hpnotic
Dear all,
This is my 100th post and I will like to thank Blogger for hosting my funny news and commentary stuff that I post. Heck, I write some little personal stuff too once in a while. I like to also thank the readers for reading this and not posting any comments because 1) you are too busy to write 2) you are too scared to be found out that you are reading my awesome, blinged out, most incredible blogger 3) you cannot write for your life 4) you are a previous xanga stalker.
I am still wondering where my life is going. You think we will be all pondering out life's purpose or our pursuits and goals at age 30? I think we still don't know what we want to do at age 40.
I was watching Lost in Translation last night, and Bill Murray said:
"The more we know about ourselves and the more we know what we want, the less upset we get."
I think that holds some truth in it. If we really know our faults, weaknesses, and strengths, we can see our obstacles more clearly. Also, when we realize what we want to do, the passion and ambition that drives us also doesn't allow us to be subjected to minor setbacks.

On the side note, Lost in Translation, I thought, wasn't a great movie as it was hyped up to be. I thought the ending was ambigious, and it didn't clear up Bill Murray's relationship with his wife and with Scarlett's character. The camera shots of Tokyo and Buddhist temples were delightful. Japan seems to be so modernized beyond America. Everything there seems to overwhelm your eyes, ears, and mouths. I don't I can survive living in Tokyo, but I can definitely live in the countryside there.
Teach English in Japan? It could be a great idea, but I heard they don't like the Chinese there. We are essentially the Jews of Asia.
