Unpopular Opinion Challenge

 

Snagged from Tumblr:

“To be answered and completed with grace and understanding on both sides of opinions expressed: Let your opinions pour out, but you don’t have to be a dick about do you? And you may severely disagree with someone but are you going to unfollow or bug them about it? That said, answer and read at your discretion.”

1. A selection of television programs you do not care for.

I am not really a TV person but there are still a handful of shows I like/love to watch, although I can let a week pass without seeing their latest episodes. But even though I don’t watch TV  a lot, there are still a handful of shows I just don’t care for anymore. Here are some:

  • Afternoon soap operas our maid love to watch – I mean seriously, why are these shows even existing? They are a total waste of atoms, molecules, earth, wind and fire. Like, hello? They have the dumbest plots and the dumbest lines. EVER.

Glee

  • Glee – sorry Puck, my love, but I just have to include it here. Okay so, why Glee? I used to care for this show a lot, like I would even fight with my brother just so I could own the television for at least an hour. And I did enjoy season 1 a lot. But season 2 generally sucked. And season 3? I don’t even give a damn about what’s happening there. Take this for instance: everyone in Glee club are supposed to be a group of talented yet bullied and “different” kids. But what do they do inside Glee club? They create too much drama around each other. One second, they love each other very much, the next second they’re all willing to rip each others’ faces off. I hate it that there is no synchronization in the show, like the writers aren’t really decided about what to do with the life of the characters there. And what about Tina (played by Jenna Ushkowitz) who has been a part of the Glee Club since day one? When did they ever focus on her story? What else? Hmm… The issues they are all trying to make its viewers aware of? I don’t think they’re doing any service to those issues anymore. They just end up preachy. And you know, I could actually create a separate blog post regarding this one!

2. A selection of musical artists you do not care for.

  • I don’t like 50 cent. And any other rappers who only rap/write about their blings, cars, and the numbers of girls with big, fat, fake boobs that they sleep with every night. I believe that’s just total bull.
  • I also don’t like a handful of K-pop groups. A lot of them sing and dance stupidly, as if they were forced by their mothers to do that in exchange of a happy meal afterwards. And please, why do they have to include English phrases/sentences in their songs of they cannot even pronounce the words properly? I know their fans can live with their songs sans the English.

3. A selection of celebrities you couldn’t care less about.

  • Those reality “stars”. What are their names again?

4. A hobby you “don’t get”.

  • Telling people things you are not supposed to tell. Because you know, if your friend told you her secret, it’s supposed to be kept a secret until the both of you dies UNLESS it’s a matter of life and death (i.e. she’s 16 and pregnant, or her doctor found out she was really a he.)

5. A habit you find disgusting.

  • Giving people nicknames because you don’t like them or the things they do. ‘Nuff said.

6. Something in school you really liked doing that everyone else bitched over.

  • I like it when the teachers just ask us to copy the lessons written on the board. I just like (okay, scratch that — I LOVE this thing) writing a lot of things in my notebook. And, isn’t it better than any other activity in the world? :)

7. Your favorite household chore.

I love chopping garlic!

  • Do I have any? Hmmm… Oh yeah, there’s one! I like chopping/slicing the ingredients my sister is going to need for cooking. It’s not really a chore since I’m not supposed to do that daily. But I still like doing it :D

8. Popular video games that make you go “meh”.

Can you guess from what game this picture is from?

  • Those games that include bombing, killing and getting all bloody and dirty. I hate it when I have to kill somebody just to win a freaking game! (well except if I’m supposed to kill zombies or pests)

9. PC or MAC?

hee hee XD

  • PC, I guess. I have never owned a Mac my entire life, but I have used one several times. It was hard to operate at first, unlike PC which is very user-friendly. But Mac seems to be really pretty, you know? So I might go for it once I get a chance.

10. A sport you don’t like for whatever reason.

  • Sumo wrestling? I don’t know. I don’t know a lot about this “sport” but I just don’t like the idea of getting all sweaty, and big and heavy, and holding your opponent on all the weird places just to get him out of the round mattress.

11. A sport you really like for whatever reason.

  • I am not really the sporty kind. So there.

12. Television programs you love but have gotten shit for liking.

Believe me, I never knew they even had a soundtrack!

  • Jersey Shore. Um okay. I know what I said about number 3 but there is always an exemption to the rule right? So yeah, Jersey Shore is ridiculous, disgusting at times, they showcase a lot of very questionable behaviors, with girls trashing themselves for guys and guys being disrespectful to girls but you know what? SO DOES EVERYTHING ELSE IN THIS CRAZY SOCIETY AND IT’S NOT NEARLY AS ENTERTAININGLY ABSURD. But these people are really entertaining though sometimes they make me want to punch their faces.

13. Musical artists you love but have gotten shit for liking.

  • Luckily, none! I have a freaking awesome taste in music. :D

14. A hobby you have/find interesting that other people bug you over/make fun of.

  • Reading. YOU PEOPLE! Reading doesn’t make me a nerd and even if it does, at least it makes me smarter that you, dimwits.

15. A habit you have that other people bug you over.

  • It’s a secret.

16. Something in school you hated doing and it felt like everyone else loved.

  • Physical Education. I hate sports. I hate getting all sweaty and sticky. I hate it because everyone else would rather have P.E. classes rather than actual lessons because they can run around and throw balls at each other and get dirty. Then we’d all go back to the classroom after that, right? The classroom is air-conditioned. That means everyone and everything inside will end up smelling awfully bad. Disgusting.

17. The household chore that makes you want to shoot your face off.

  • Laundry. I’ve never really washed a week’s worth of clothes yet but if I have a choice, I would never do it. I have standards when it comes to cleanliness, thanks to my OCD-ish sister, so even a good washing machine would not suffice.

18. A selection of video games that that you enjoy that perhaps you shouldn’t.

  • Sims. It’s stupid as f*** yet I enjoyed it a lot. I even came to the point where I would waste my four hours playing Sims online.

19. A celebrity crush that that maybe you even don’t understand.

You should have guessed... :D

  • I seriously do not get this one. I don’t understand how? But anyway, I have a lot of crushes and I sometimes go to bed with all of them… Hee hee ;)

20. Free rant on whatever grinds your gears at the moment.

  • Stupidity. Oh god. I am very fortunate to live with a wonderful family but I am also not so fortunate for having to deal with a lot of their stupidity. As much as I want to elaborate, I can’t. They will eventually find this blog of mine and read my entries then kill me if I talk bad about them.

So okay, that’s all of it. I guess the point of this challenge is just to pour your heart out and speak about the things you don’t really talk about probably because your opinions are against the mainstream. And my friends, liking things that aren’t mainstream doesn’t make you a stupid hipster. It’s normal. Some people will like what you like, some will not. Deal with it. It’s called individualism.

And please, don’t ask about my NaNoWriMo. I have finally given up on it.
I have given up on NaNoWriMo itself, because I just don’t feel the fun if it at all. The excitement, yes, at first. But the fun? I don’t know. Call me weird but no, it made me feel that writing my novel was a chore and that I had to keep up with it every single night.
Writing may not be my thread just yet, but I am sure I am getting there.
I will finish my novel, with or without Nano. :D

Leave a comment! I’d love to catch up with you guys once again :)

Supernatural is…

I have not checked out my blog for days, trying to catch up with my word count + hanging out with my friend online + dealing with my “problems.”

I have no intentions of boring you with anything.

Just wanted to share my latest wallpaper.

Why hello there Mr Jensen Ackles

Anyone there a Supernatural fan?

Anyone?

Anyone?

I have not really a lot to tell and share but I got my OTP! :D

Um, do I even have to elaborate?

See you all in the flipside! :D

*starts pinging back everything related to SPN*

Hello! Here’s another update from me.

First off, I want to apologize for not doing my duties as a responsible blogger. I was not able to catch up with your blogs recently and I was not able to update my own blog for a couple of days as well. But I promise to reach out again to you guys once I get back on track.

So what’s up with me?

Lately, my system has been quite sensitive. I know I mentioned in one of my posts that I had a very bad cold which lasted for over a week. Then I had my period just recently which was confusingly off. Also, I’ve been having problems with my stomach days ago and a week or so before. My internal system is being sabotaged by currently unknown entities. LOL.

Now, let’s go to my NaNoWriMo.
I’ve caught up with my word count a little bit, but I still have to write at least 3, 801 more words to beat today’s target, which is 15, 003. I’m actually going to start writing in a little while :)

You're still mean to me, nano

 

Anyways, I have already finished writing 8 out of 45 chapters, leaving me 37 more left, two of which were already started. I have sent out copies of what I have written so far to two of my friends, Samanca and Anne. I’m pretty sure Sam skimmed over piece yet again so she did not have a lot of things to say about it, although she did share some good insights. Anne is currently reading my work and I’m excited about what she’s going to say!

You might be thinking, what’s the relevance of this blog’s title to whatever I have mentioned already?

  1. I added one more sentence to my Author’s Bio: Wanderlust.
  2. The number is actually the “one possible value based on the estimated world population” on my date birth. Data is courtesy of the United Nations Population Division.

Two Thousand

Hey guys! How’s everything going?

Things over here are coming along well, except my novel-writing. Today marks the end of NaNoWrimo‘s first week, and every participant must have written at least 11, 669 words already. I’m 2, 568 words behind and it sucks. I was not able to write a lot yesterday and today because of two things:

First, it was my sister’s 28th birthday yesterday and we went to the cemetery to visit our dad’s, uncle’s and grandfathers’ graves since we were not able to do so last All Souls Day. Then after that we cooked several dishes since she was expecting some visitors to come. And by we, I meant them. :D We all stayed up pretty late and I woke up struggling with both diarrhea and dysmenorrhea. Oh what fun it is being a girl. That’s my second excuse, by the way. Right now, anyway, I am already feeling alright. I just hate how menstruation can make me look like I murdered someone in the restroom.

So yeah, now my friend and I are trying to check each other’s stories, sharing ideas and all. She’s not joining NaNo though; she’s too busy for that. Anyway, the story that she wrote was a fan fiction and it was beautiful. It just needs a little more polishing but it was compelling. And I mean it. She’s going to enter her piece in a certain competition and I hope that she wins. She’s a great writer with a cool personality and I believe she deserves the recognition! Her name is Samanca. You can find her here or here or here. :)

Back to my Nano, I am still determined to finish my story so I will finish it. YAY! :D I will work on it, and work on it some more! (K. I’m starting to get nonsense. I mean what I said, anyhow. Good bye friends!)

Fighting~!

So tonight, I’ve been trying to compile all my NaNo documents in one but these different programs kept on giving me different word counts. So I decided to use both word counts just so I won’t get problems by the time I need to verify my novel.

Total Word Count (minus Chap12) :

Total Word Count (with Chap12 from PocketPC) :
  • 9, 052 [Microsoft Word]
  • 9, 101 [yarny.me]
Target by Day 7: 11, 667
  • 2, 615 to go [Microsoft Word]
  • 2, 566 to go [yarny.me]
Target by Day 9: 15, 500 (500 = personal goal)
  • 6, 448 to go [Microsoft Word]
  • 6, 399 to go [yarny.me]
Target by Day 30: 50, 500 (500 = personal goal)
  • 41, 448 to go [Microsoft Word]
  • 41, 399 to go [yarny.me]
** 26 days left to complete the 50, 500 word count
As much as I can tell, I am not behind my word count but I am definitely behind my story. I have at least 45 chapters to write yet I have only started writing 8 of them. =_____=
I need to work harder!! AJA!!!
