Good Wolf vs Bad Wolf

Published by Justine

I just watched the latest 90210 yesterday (srsly, the only reason why I still watch that show is coz of Matt Lanter–who am I kidding? I love shallow shows) and it was the episode when the girls went away for a yoga retreat. There was a scene where they were all in the sauna where they poured out all their problems and fears.

When Naomi (played by AnnaLynne McCord) poured out her story about the rape incident the guru told her to choose between the two wolves inside of her. One wolf was good and full of joy and love the other one was bad and basically had all the negative qualities. So the question was, which wolf was going to win? The answer was fairly simple, but it wasn’t something I expected. The writer of this episode definitely hit a nerve with this one. The yoga guru said, “The one you feed.”

I’m going on a deep note here because I need to get this out that’s why here I am at 2 in the morning typing away from my phone under the covers. Something about that line really made me think. Have I been feeding the bad wolves that’s inside of me? Why do I seem to have many fears and negative thoughts? I get so easily worried about a lot of things and I haven’t even given them a chance to happen yet. I’ve developed a bad habit of thinking about worse case scenarios before there even is a scenario to begin with. I used to think that when they say people change, it wouldn’t happen to me. It clearly has, and I’m working on it, I really am.

Felt the need to get this out before it clogs up in my brain drafts and the difference between brain drafts and blog drafts, there’s a lesser chance of brain drafts to be published because my mind forgets them so easily.

Coz Baby You’re A Firework

Published by Justine

Fireworks began to fill the area the minute the clock struck 12am. Lunar New Year is considered a national holiday here and the best part is, work decided to make Friday a holiday as well, thus my 4-day weekend has officially started.

While I was watching the beautiful fireworks from the window it took me a while to notice how great it would look in photos and as the whole thing was about to slow down that’s when I realized that the SLR was right beside me. It was such a facepalm moment, I quickly ran out of the house and took photos of the remaining fireworks that were still sky high. I didn’t even have time to adjust camera settings and just clicked away. As usual, being my favorite nosy bitch, Sushi followed me outside watching me snap photos as a result of my fail realization. =P

New Name, Old Face & Chinese Food

You may or may not have noticed that I changed my URL once again. I love blogging, I really do. This is proof that I haven’t given up on it and probably never will. I just wish I wasn’t so mindful with my writing because I end up giving up halfway when I feel that my writings seems mundane and uninteresting. After all, this is for me to look back on.

A couple of things:

JOSH BEECH replied to me on twitter and even retweeted my previous bog post! It only means one thing, he read it. I’ve spoken to him on MSN before because like I said in the previous post, I was one of his early twitter followers and he gave out his old old MSN ID so we got to talk for a little while just as he was about to go offline. That was definitely one of my fangirl highlights.

Last night we had an early Chinese New Year dinner with workmates from China. Great food, as usual. I could have taken more photos but I was happily eating. As I was taking in all the food I just realized that the reason why I love Asian food so much (apart from being of the Asian race) is mostly due to the abundance of onions and garlic. These 2 ingredients are probably one of my many favorite primary ingredients in any food. For all those who are celebrating this festive event especially my friends with Chinese and Korean descent, Happy Lunar New Year!

Josh Beech the Music Man

Published by Justine

I have a feeling this “fangirling” posts are gonna go one after the other. This time, it’s the super hot Josh Beech. I’ve always had this soft spot for male models with tattoos. Usually the male models I see are all skinny, clean and boring. Ash Stymest, Josh Beech and Cole Mohr were probably the innovators of tattoo clad/post-modern models. Needless to say, I am a big fan of all three.

If it’s not obvious yet, my favorite is Josh Beech and this usually means hours of looking him up online (and documenting it). Finding the spreads he’s been part of, endorsements, runways he’s walked for… which lead to discovering that not only he is a model, but also a music man. His preference of music usually leans to alternative and rock of the 90s, which kind of reflects his style of music too. This is a video I found about a year ago and I couldn’t help but notice how his singing style sort of resembles Brandon Boyd of Incubus (which coincidentally, is my favorite band in the universe).

Snish was his first band, and being one of his early twitter followers I came to know that he had another band called Hildamay which boasted a deeper sound of rock, sort of underground. I guess he’s the type who’s constantly finding his own sound because it seems to me that Hildamay didn’t work for the long run despite countless amounts of gigs they did in the UK.

He’s now doing his own thing, together with two Johns and called themselves (you guessed it right) Josh Beech & The Johns. I spent what was left of my iTunes Store credits ($4) on his EP Burnt Out which THANK GOODNESS costs $3.96! I’ve been confused on what to spend it on but I finally found my answer. I’ve been looping the tracks since I bought it a few hours ago and even though it’s only 4 (technically 3 since one is an acoustic version).

David Henrie by Steven Taylor

Published by Justine

Bless my forever tween heart. I think I bloomed late because when I was in my tweens I never got into any of them boys. I did like pop music, but my fangirling was for lead singers and drummers in bands, my walls were filled with Eminem and all mid 20s actors during that time like Paul Walker, Ashton Kutcher (IKR). But now, I’m liking all these boys! From k-pop to Zac Efron (I AM OBSESSED), Joe Jonas and of course, David Henrie. You can’t deny the yummy that is THE David Henrie. I guess it doesn’t help that I have a sister who’s 12 years younger than me so I’m always exposed to them. I’ll leave you with this BTS video and a photo by photographer Steven Taylor that was done so well. He looks so mature.

He’s only a year younger than I am, but I’ve been so used to liking older guys before that I feel like a tween. Doesn’t help the fact that he’s a Disney boy.
