i am 16, going on 17... tomorrow!

so today was my last day being sixteen, and tomorrow, i'll be only a year away from being legal...yikes! i'll post loads of pictures over the weekend so don't worry, but for now, enjoy one of my fav afv videos (it's the same one from the last post, but i think many people didn't see it).

and i'm SOO glad kim yu na won the gold for s. korea! i love america, but i gotta support my blood, too. ;) and my cousins and even my parents say that i look like her (i'd rather say that she looks like me). what do you think? i guess i was a little too late for the facebook doppelganger craze. :/

Kim Yu na

(not a good pic of me, but for the sake of doppelganging...)

I saw Across the Universe for the first time today at my school's monthly movie night hosted by the Art Appreciation club (which I run). :)

I felt that some scenes were actually really scary, like the Strawberry Field scene, and that one where there's naked girls dancing above the water, but I realized that the film is depicting a time of war and I guess there's nothing as scary and disturbing as death.

The only factor I didn't like about the movie was its myriad depictions of drug usage. I think it just showed too much drugs unnecessarily. I know during that time in history, many people actually used a lot of drugs, but I don't think it was necessary to depict it that much in the film... and I was slightly disappointed with the 'movie raters' of this film. You would think a movie with so much drug usage and trippy scenes would be rated R...but it's only PG-13. Anyway! I still like the film a lot!

Before watching this film, I wasn't much of a Beatles fan because I just didn't find their music as that... amazing and stunning as everyone thinks (I know, don't hurt me please!). But this film has allowed me to develop a real appreciation for Beatles music. Jim Sturgess does a great job and he is quite the cutie, although for some reason I like Max more. ;) Now I can't stop listening to Hey Jude!!

Here are some of my favorite scenes:

Hold Me Tight - The Beatles

at 1:28, when Jim Sturgess shakes his head, he is so adorable!!!!!!!!
and aren't those dresses lovely? I've always wished my school's prom or dances would be like this. :)

I Want You (She's so Heavy) - The Beatles

Max, i.e. Joe Anderson, is so cute! I prefer him without his facial hair though. :)
The choreography and performance in this scene is awesome.


I've Just Seen a Face - The Beatles

I love the clothes and the choreography!
Someday I'd like to do that in the bowling alley; maybe this weekend at my bday party.. but I'm not renting the whole bowling alley so they'd probably kick me out if I leaped over all the lanes. Haha. :D


Something (yes, that's actually the name of the song) ;) - The Beatles (sorry there's no scene in this video - I couldn't find one with the scene!)

And here's a random bonus video for ya from America's Funniest Home Videos; that show makes me laugh my sox off every time. This one is one of me fav funny videos of all time. My mom and I laugh about this video just thinking about it. ;)

Song of the moment:
Hey Jude - Across the Universe sountrack

I think that's my favorite song for now. It's so enchanting and Joe Anderson's voice is irresistible!
