CarolKenn Gory

Who is CarolKenn Gory?

He is none other than Pepper II, the human connection loving but most disobedient, naughty, hyperactive and playful dog we have ever owned! He mauled every other shoe within his grasp(3 pairs of mine and counting). He even managed to get himself sick and puking from eating all those sequins and beaded flowers from my slipper! If he is not mauling shoes, he’ll be pooh poohing anywhere he likes especially on carpets. That is how naughty he is. A bouncing monster on four legs running rampant in the house!

His latest trick is to jump onto anything that he can. He may very well be a circus dog! Or he may be a mad dog, depending. So unlike his predecessor, Stormy Seas Anisette aka Pepper who has fine manners(well any dog compared with Pepper II has fine manners!) and tamed as a deer. Too tamed until he is afraid of lightnings and thunders and basically rain! If it rains he’ll go mad. He will shoot around and outside the house and hide himself under some bushes which basically means sitting under the rain. Some false sense of security that he gets. We’d always speculated that maybe aliens(x-files music playing in the background) were trying to keep in contact with him when it rains! Maybe the madness does run in the family after all, only in different ways.

I said family because Pepper is coincidentally Pepper II’s uncle! Which we only came to know about a few days earlier upon receiving his birth certificate. What a small world even in a dog’s world! Pepper’s father, Takeshi’s Dangerous Mind(no this is not made up by me even if I think Takeshi Kaneshiro is drop dead dashing) is in fact Pepper II’s maternal grandfather! Though Pepper’s mother(HuaHua Star Jingle Bell) is not Pepper II’s grandmother(Kenlac Little Girl). I guess promiscuity doesn’t stop at humans!

Since Pepper turned out to be quite sane, we are thinking the bad genes might be from his father(Alpha Centaurus Gradient) side. I mean considering his paternal grandfather and grandmother have names like Menghengken Tickle Me Silly and Menghengken Artificial Intelligence! Alternatively, it may again be the result of incestuous breeding we detected from the family tree.

Whatever it is, this story serves to remind those who are thinking of getting a dog. Please do have a glance at the birth certificate if it is available at point in time. Less you end up with a little terror on your hands. Unfortunately, a terror you cannot stay angry with!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Posted in Lifestyle on July 24, 2008 by willowonwalls

When you were younger, birthday cards came by the bundles and mostly they were from trusted friends and beloved family members and their extensions. As you aged, surprisingly, the cards still roll in but from people you could hardly considered as such!

Birthday cards from merchants which serves as a timely reminder for you to patronize their coveted stores.

Sending greeting cards(and I mean physical card where you need to put a stamp on and a mailman), no matter birthdays, weddings or festivities is but a dying culture in this day and age where the internet rules. Everybody blogs but hardly anyone(me included) takes the time to choose a beautiful card with meaningful or comedic phrases anymore. So if and ever I received one such card, you’ll find me jumping up and down in excitement and joy. It goes to show that someone has really taken the effort to find me a card and actually put it in the mailbox. Like the adorable moo-moo card among my beautifully wrapped presents which was from my lovely cousin sister.

A box of chocolates? A treasure box?

OMG it’s ipod shuffle in a wooden box! I am proud owner of a smashing silver ipod shuffle! With tickets to awesome Dark Knight to boot.

My brand new white Western Digital HDD which matches perfectly with my white MacBook.

Possibly the best gift to people like me who constantly deletes stuff accidentally! Silly me has not so long ago deleted her entire photo library of nine months plus of photograhic expeditions.

BFF having the misconception that I am 18 going on 20! Hence the SMARTIE-colored necklace. The very addictive Koh-Kae peanuts which will definitely force my adult acne to erupt on my beautiful aged face again! Running for glory in my favourite sports brand. Which is probably why I should just stop blogging already and just do it!

And this must be the best. Adam Sandler disguised as a sheep with a beautiful red bow singing Happy Birthday song to me, the funny version that is.

“la la la……..you didn’t accomplished much but you didn’t die this year, I guess that’s good enough!…..”

So, Happy Birthday to Me Me Meeee!

War of the Dragons

Posted in Lifestyle on July 13, 2008 by willowonwalls

I don’t normally do movie reviews. But I guessed there’s always a first. More so when you realised you have just blown your money on something called War of the Dragons(which should aptly be renamed War of the Serpents!). Because there are no majestic, mystical dragons(well, probably only in the last five minutes) but ugly, slithering giant snakes!

Even though I am dubbed Korean Kraze and the movie was directed by a South Korean, it is simply awful. Full stop. And yet it can still be considered a success and spawning a sequel! You have to be kidding me, right?

At times it gets so ridiculously bad, it became funny even when it was not trying to be (the last time I checked it is not rated a comedy). The cast has one dimensional acting capabilities. Probably I could act better than them if I was an actor! No wonder the leads were running about most of the time rather than talking(and luckily so because the dailogue was totally flat).

Did I mention it was Star Wars in LA 2008! Having Darth Vader and Jabba Hutt like creatures in the streets of LA and copters weaving in and out ala Star Wars somehow just doesn’t make the cut here. And the way the entire enemy army met their end was so anti-climax. That was it, that easy! You would have thought there was at least going to be some huge battle sequences considering the LOTR scale it was presented in.

By the way, I was asked this question. Why are the Koreans being reincarnated as Americans? Globalisation, dear, haven’t you heard! Souls do not get culture shock as mortals do!

Okay, I yawned, only three times(can you imagine I even counted how many times) but I was awake. I was awake so that I could keep the two person sitting next to me awake! NO one here is allowed to fall asleep as one of them said the preview was quite good(probably the best 5 minutes of the whole show put together) and the other didn’t insisted on watching Brendan Fraser enough! So yes sisters, we shall all suffer for the mistake we made!

Sadly, the posters may be their only saving grace!

A Day In The Life Of A Bored Worker

Posted in Rants on July 10, 2008 by willowonwalls

Anyone heard of Magicworld Test? It’s a character test and pretty accurate I should say. Well, about grass sniffing me(no, I am not born in the year of the cow) anyway.

Grass-Fragrance Type

“You have very strong will, not dependent on others and gives an impression of being a lone-ranger. You are extremely curious and sensual, living a clear-headed, modern life. At first glance you place yourself on a pedestal, and are difficult to get along. But once others talk to you, they know you are easygoing. And when the relationship develops they realise you are affable. You have and androgynous charm, which makes you popular with all genders. But you don’t like your weak side to be seen. You might look cool on the surface, but beneath it all, you are really PASSIONATE. Only people who know your true self can maintain a long-lasting relationship with you.”

Very well said. So, if you have the time or wanting to kill some time(like me), do give it a try. And decide whether your fragrance type best describe you. Happy Whiffing!

We shall now move on to the Apple Shooter Game which is interesting enough to keep you awake when you most needed it(like me). Also funny enough to make you laugh when you realised you have just managed to kill the poor man with the apple on his bald head(who is referred to as your friend) rather grotesquely! Now, who wants to be my friend next? Am I glad I never took up archery for real. I swear that little man in the screen was jumping about madly, shouting profanities at me when I accidentally took one of his eyeballs out!  Unlike the time where he died instantly when I beheaded him. I definitely do not want to be haunted by headless, brainless, throatless, one-legged, gutless, balless(is there such a word) wandering souls in my dreams!

Reasons

Posted in Reflections on July 9, 2008 by willowonwalls

There are many reasons why we make the decisions that we made. They may seemed plausible at the time of making but turned out to be otherwise. Or is this merely us giving ourselves justifications for making those bad decisions. Reasons for us to live with ourselves for the decisions that we made at a certain point in time. The lucky ones may get by unscathed. But for those few who are unlucky they try to pick up the pieces and deal with it as best as they could. As painless as they could…
