Final Notes

Alas, the year of 2010 has gone by and despite being slack and not checking blog posts of everyone else, nor doing my own, I am definitely sure there are an abundance of posts in regards to the closing of this year. Usually, I would like to be different, however, constant gaming has killed and utterly destroyed my creativity (explaining the lack of posts) and also added disgusting acne on my face.

Firstly, I would like to assure those who actually do read and enjoy my previous posts, that I will continue blogging next year and this is not a concluding post. I apologize as I have been extremely lazy the past month or so, and have been spending my time gaming rather than replying important emails, catching up with individual good friends, replying blog posts and writing new blog posts.

Having that gotten out of the way, I am now sitting in 40 degree Celsius weather, reflecting on my year. There are a tonne of things worth mentioning, and this humble post cannot contain the wondrous events of a college student; hence, I shall only focus on a few.



1. Christmas

 Christmas had passed by...and I have yet to make a Christmas post, I shall have to reserve this section for the New Year post after today.


2. Choice of Fashion

Last year, I decided that my choice of fashion would be Smart Casual. Having received many criticisms, I went over seas puzzled and unable to settle down on a particular fashion and decided to roam around different styles. The year has gone past and it appears that I have made such an impression to my fellow youth that despite wearing "normal casual wear", they still regard it as "dressed up". Pity.

Perhaps it's just the vibe I give to the general public when I associate with them more closely. Anyhow, as the year progressed, despite having a variety of different styles. it started to lean in one direction.

A Jacket I got from my dear beloved.
It's starting to make some resemblance to some smarter looking clothes. I guess it can't be helped, we're not exactly in high school now are we?

Smart Casual? More casual than smart.
Eventually, it ends up looking like this. Although still more casual than smart, it is evident that I cannot escape the fact that I like wearing collared shirts.

Yep, smart casual wear definitely suits me the best.
<On this note, I would like to mention that I had a haircut a couple of weeks ago...not one I particularly liked. Also a couple of close friends are also bugging me to change my hair style, any suggestions?>


3. Resolutions

Generally speaking, I do not indulge myself in anything in regards to commitment...save for relationships. However, I believe it's time to get off my lazy ass and  get fit. I have decided to make this my resolution for next year. Because I have failed this mission this year. I would post a picture of half-naked me up, but I'll save my favourite readers from experiencing nightmares.

My other and less significant resolution would be to achieve straight HD's throughout the entire of next year in college. But that's not significant.


I would like to let everyone know that I will be going away for the New Year period for a little get away trip with my family and close family friends, thus, there will definitely be new posts. For now, Happy New Years Eve everybody!

Average Celebrities

I figured that this post would not be the best of ideas as a post after emerging after disappearing from the internet life for a couple of weeks. On the side note, my disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with a lack of internet or a lack of computer, it has just merely been a lack of communication for the last 2 weeks with majority of people save for family and partner.

Having gotten that out of the way, I would now like to apologize for this post as it deviates from normal content but is something I currently feel strongly about that I would like to raise a discussion about: Visual Appearance.

As shallow as this seems, please do not dive into the safety ideal answer of "looks-are-not-important-what-matters-is-personality". False statement. Deep inside every one of us, looks always plays an aspect, big or small. So where should you draw the line? This part is tricky, by now, we should all know that relationships belonging to the 2 individuals is a big lie. That is the core of the relationship. The rest of the relationship includes family from respective individuals. Good first impressions, flawless manners, looking good the first time you meet, are all impressions everyone attempts to make in an attempt to appeal to their partner's family.

What if you're not attractive? If you're just average, or worse, below average? How will that turn out?

Readers, if you bothered to read this, please voice out an honest opinion. How important should the ratio between good looks and personality be before considering future or current occupation?

Shut your trap

Events in the holidays for a majority of us college kids? I figured that Movie Marathon or similar events would be one of the most hit activities held indoors in the time of holidays. After all, how many would you would find it a delight to head out in the hazardous Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) weather where it would hail, become extremely sunny reaching a top of 24 degrees Celsius before bucket down rain again in the matter of 1 and a half hours. This was also a repetitive cycle on that particular day...weather, it's actually a viable ice breaking conversation here in Melbourne.

As a responsible representative of your average population, I did the honours in attending a movie-afternoon-to-whenever-you-people-decide-to-leave event at a friend's house. Having experienced that I have a few things I like to discuss and a few tips to deal with events that are similar.


Body Pains
Although the name of the event does not suggest it, body pains is certainly in the terms and conditions with movie marathons or what ever marathon you are holding. Long hours of sitting still without moving around and staring at one direction whilst straining one's neck and eyes is the main culprit and a prerequisite for these events.


Don't be fooled by this seemingly relaxing posture.


In hope to find a solution for this treacherous inconvenience, our hero (or representative), attempted to do star jumps in front of the screen to loosen up tense muscles. This was accompanied by food appraisal from the rest of the audience, chips, biscuits, and assorted dry food would come flying in said person's direction. Grunts, boos and irritated voices would most likely be heard from the audience.

 

So uh...the tip here is to avoid doing any stupid movements, especially if they're large notable movements which interfere with the audiences viewing pleasure. If you still intend to, bring a large bag or container to salvage the dry food projectiles, it is a great way to loot snacks.


Comments
This one here is a tricky one. When you're in a group of good friends, one would feel comfortable with voicing his or her opinion with a particular topic (fatal mistake). However, in the cinema, one must shut the fuck up or comment on the topic in a subtle whisper...so then, what happens when this movie or show is watched with that group of good friends at one's home?



I have gathered from my experience that there are acceptable comments and unacceptable comments. For ease of assess, I have provided examples:


It is cute indeed.

Correct comment!

The puppy was shown to die 3 times.

WRONG COMMENT!


Tip? I don't have one, I live in constant fear of making the wrong comment at the wrong time.




My conclusion? Movie marathons are a life threatening and stressful experience, movies should be watched separately and not bunched up in one. Why it is such a hot event is beyond my comprehension; nevertheless, I will continue to put my life at risk and attend these events.





Fellow readers what do you enjoy doing indoors with friends during holidays? Do you have any tips you would like to add to my list of what not to do during movie/series marathon?
