the post from Andy's Blog was a few days back after #304 was aired, i didn't get to read it until just now

it was an interview with Keith regarding his ousting from the show...it must be harsh for Keith to have to bring that up after the actual thing happening quite some time back...

just so u know, i never hated him, not even after the so called "cheating" drama, or his "cockiness" along the way, i've loved him from the beginning ( cocky equals confident in my book most of the time, yeh Santino rocks!!!)

yes, what Keith did was stupid ( the violating rules part) but just as he himself explained, those books were for menswear which obviously had nothing to do with the show!! argh!!!Jeffrey was such a BACKSTABBER!!!! i thought he was cool, now i'm wrong...i'm just gonna start hating him right now!!

besides, he did not read those books at all, except for a fairy tale book...if he had been using those books to get his ideas from the begining of the show his roommates woulda known...so he did not use those books and were not intending to take advantage of them...so again, Jeffrey, the BACKSTABBER!!! i hope him get kicked out soon!!!!

it was such a heartbreaking moment watching Tim Gunn ask him to leave...he was so innocent u could actually see from his face his innocence...it was so sad, it almost made me cry...

haven't been updating, it's been very hectic cuz it's near the end of semester, and i've got to toil on essays...

i've been preparing for my presentation on SURREALISM and Salvador Dali for 2 days now...i really need some organizing skills...it feels after all that i read i know pretty well about surrealism and Dali already, but i find it very difficult to organize my ideas into a PPT and make it include everything at the same time...i seem to dwell on the details too much, but my teacher said since i'm "detail-orientated" this Linguistics major should be the right thing to pursue...

the Spectre of Sex Appeal by Salvador Dali

i certainly admire Dali's works, especially the one whose title is probably the longest in history, uh i can't remember exactly but i saw it on a book once, something like "when i was 6 years old i imagined myself to be a girl and i alertly lifted the surface of the sea and found a sleeping dog"...the title's pretty much like this...i tried to find a copy online but couldn't find one...

oh and i just got 2 fashion illustration books from PAGE ONE, i'm so so so thrilled i can't wait to start exploring them but before that i'll have to deal with my essay on Picasso first...our teacher made us refer to at least 2 books for quotes, just why in the world 2? i could only find 1 that fits in the library...sigh...

and i haven't had time for French Open and just now the World Cup started with Germany playing Costa Rico, i certainly don't want to miss any one single match of the World Cup but i'm gonna be busy and it's gonna be hard to keep up with that...i hope England or Holland wins...

okay, second half of that first match begins now...

yesterday i didn't go to any classes and i also skipped reading class this morning and got caught...damn i never thought that Mr. Lee would count attendance...so busted!! but on account of the fact that i haven't been going to reading class for more than a month now, maybe i deserve this...

i watched ABOUT ADAM, i don't like it, it reminds me of ALFIE, only Jude Law is more good-looking than Stuart Townsend, in my opinion...plus i had a hard time getting used to the British accent, i guess i only understood 80% of the dialogues, at most...

i decided from now on i write very short entries, becuz i tend to talk so much crap...

so i finally got THE FAMILY STONE on dvd, i love this movie so much!!! it's great how such an ordinary theme can be translated into so much more, sth that touches ur soul so much...i think every inch of this movie speaks sth, it makes u think...

i'm going to see THE DA VINCI CODE this Friday, really really excited!!!

p.s. can anyone give some advice on choosing a fashion illustration book?

screencaps of the season finale: (it's a bit dark, and the muscles on michale's face r a bit "twisted"...lol)

i don't like the ending to Season 1, i was so frustrated to see that plane take off...

is Sara Tancredi dead?!!! it won't be as good without her in season 2...besides Nick already died...but i'm pretty sure the ppl that will live to the end of this show will be Michael, Lincoln and Veronica...

i also wonder why isn't the vice president dead? did she change the bottle of water or were the cups of water supposed to be poisonous instead of the bottle? arggghhh i hate her i hope she die soon...

lol i'm glad my xanga is working for me again, it's true u just have to wait out ...lol thx for the advice guys

my May break is over...today back on campus again, i had "jet lag" adjusting to a normal sleeping hours here so i only slept for approximately 3 hours last night, and the weather today is so hot, there's so little air pressure so it's kinda hard to breathe...i just felt like fainting...hopefully tomorrow will be cooler...

i got a book from the campus library today, [Consumer Behavior] by Harold W. Berkman, (i don't really know who he is...), i intend to read at least 50 pages a day, hopefully if i keep doing this my reading speed will improve...i also ordered this British design book, it should arrive soon...lol right now i'm really psyched about reading alot with midterms being over and all...

oh and there is this very strange and awkward thing that happened tonite when i was in this art class, so i was supposed to be in class 2 but i went to class 1 instead cuz i needed to get back to my dorm and do some stuff...and while in class 1 i ran into my frd Tod and his gf so i was like "hi", and they "hi" back and Tod insisted i sit with them so i went over...afterwards everything went pretty well until that idiot took out his cellphone trying to shoot me dozing off, and he did, and showed me the shot...i looked horrible in there so i tried to grab his celly and delete it which i finally did...and then his gf got kinda angry (her face showed...) and said they won't go to the next class or sth...on our way back to the dorms it was even weirder cuz no one spoke and then at some point Tod dragged his gf aside and told me to go without them and his gf was even more angry...i really don't know what that was...

okay i should start reading my book now, i notice i haven't been screencapturing the last couple episodes of PB and i will capture this week's as soon as i got it

p.s. i watched [the Girl in the Cafe], it's such a good movie!

TEM4 exam is finally over...i'm glad they let us use bluetooth headsets but still the listening part got pretty messy, i just didn't have enough time to read the questions before the passages were read...and there was so little time and so many sections, i think for the reading part i really sucked!!!! does anyone know how to improve reading speed? this has been a huge problem for me, my mom says that's becuz i read to little...but i guess it's a habit i unknowingly developed: i read every passage word by word, (character by character as in Chinese), isn't it tragic? that i don't read any faster when i'm reading Chinese my native language?...i wonder if there's any courses or mysterious methods to improve reading speed...ppl say u should spot the content words and then sorta sweep through, i tried, it doesn't work for me...

as i have come to understand what crucial skills a successful individual should have are:

they should be fast readers, so in a fixed amount of time they read more than slower readers and thus they know more and usually have more insights into things

they should be able to write well (no matter what they are trying to express, they should organize well and be expressive or persuasive)

they should be able to draw well also (i can't explain this one)

okay, enough crap, gotta start writing my essay on art, i think i'm going to analyze my favorite oil painting, the Arnolfini Portrait:

if u look really close u can see 2 other figures reflected in the mirror

PB screencaps 4 u, lol :

"Are you the guy who stole my toothpaste?" "Yes..."

much as i hate those 2 guys, this is the first moment we saw Went doing this number...

"I made you something."

here u r, lol they look so cute

ppl say that Scofield is going to use Sarah for his breaking out plan, and they will soon kiss...lol can't wait to see them kiss, but i don't like the idea of Scofiled using her...

and i can't believe it that Nick guy turned out to be in fact spying on Veronica...he had seemed so nice for so long...hmm we'll see who he really works for...

okay gotta study, there is this important exam coming up this Sunday, rite now i just wish to get over with it...only a week or so to go, then May break comes...yay!!!
