I would’ve made another video for my first post in 2008. I would’ve recorded you an original song and serenaded you with my oh-so-mad-awesome-singing-voice-that-would-make-even-Mariah-Carey-cry. I would’ve taken naked photos of myself, perhaps posing next to a Chinese vase to jumpstart this year. But no, I didn’t. Instead, I brought you lists of my random top 5’s with the thought that it’s about time you guys get to know me beyond my usual crap.

If until now, you’re still reading this blog, then I congratulate you and offer you my famous yema. Half the time, I know I don’t make sense and to tolerate that much torture, you must be an awesome person. No, really. I’d make out with you if you were sitting beside me now. ^_~;;

The following are my top picks for whatever category they may be under. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone, actually: they are recommendations and at the same time a reflection of my fucked up mind that I so much enjoy flaunting to the world.

… Expressions
Which I’ve used in the past year or two.

5. “Yatta!”
4. “Shiet.”
3. “Nani?!”

No explantion needed. I’m sure by now it has dawned on you that I’m Asian like no other.

5. Lechon
4. Sushi
3. Spiced Prawns
2. Chocolates
1. Steamy white rice

… Asian Celebs
I’m not particularly a fan of Caucasian entertainers, as you probably have noticed, though I’d kill to see the Spice Girls’ reunion concert!

2. Jay Chou Jie Lun – Whattajinyus!
1. Ninomiya Kazunari – Future husband kthnxbi

… Films of all time
I’m not gonna sound like an elitist dweeb who claims to know the history of world cinema. I love films. I wanna be a filmmaker someday. Boohoo big deal.

5. Fernando Meirelles’ City of God – Dayum! That editing was a bitch!
4. David Fincher’s Se7en – Wai hallo tharr, head in a box.
3. Shunji Iwai’s All About Lily Chou Chou – Underrated, overwhelming, interesting, outstanding.
2. PJ Hogan’s My Bestfriend’s Wedding – Shuddup. I’m a sucker for romantic-comedies about unrequited love with a not-so-happy ending. This is the epitome of, IMO.
1. Gwak Jae Young’s The Classic – The film that made me want to do movies.

… GLBTQ Films
Because they deserve a different category, mmkay? I’m a huge fan of the genre and I have a collection. In fact, I’d do a seperate entry just for them. And no, they’re not pr0ns!

5. Funeral Parade of Roses – Dude, you gotta see this to believe it. And to think it was made in ‘69.
4. No Regret – Contrary to popular belief, THERE ARE homosexual Koreans.
3. Eternal Summer – Very somber and real. Like Dawson’s Creek- only gay and Chinese.
2. King and the Clown – It’s Lee jun-ki as a tranny.
1. Happy Together – Wong Kar Wai. Tony Leung. Leslie Cheung. What more do you want?

… TV programs
Reasons why I’m such a couch potato.

4. Heroes – I will definitely marry the creator of this show, Tim Kring if only so I’d be named… Kring Kring! WIN.
3. CSI – Forensic buff desu.
2. Dawson’s Creek – I grew up watching this series and cried in almost every single episode.
1. Stand Up! – A Japanese dorama starring Nino, Pi and Suzuki Ann, which pwned my ovaries and shitted on everything I liked.

… Books
I actually spend time reading books. Stop looking so surprised, demmet!

5. Beijing Story – I just read it over the internet but seriously, my eyes were swollen for days after I finished it.
4. Bridges of Madison County – Meryll Streep did an amazing job as Francesca, btw
3. ABNKKBSNPLAKo – Catapulted Bob Ong to stardom.
2. Little Women – Blame it on Jo, please.
1. The Alchemist – I know, I’m mainstream. But hey, I don’t read Rowling…

… Childhood-related memory
I was 5 when Ted Ito’s song “Ikaw pa rin ang iniiibig ko” became a hit, 9 1/2 when JPII visited here and 12 when Princess Di died. Do the Math.

5. Our school yard at 5pm
4. Miss Universe 2004

1. “Talking to you was like watching a romantic-comedy movie.”

… Youtube videos
Which never really made it to TV.

5. Bratz vs. Slutz – So politically incorrect.
4. How to Be a Gangster – Ryan Higa is such a cute kid. In a very jailbait kinda way.
3. Terry’s Mega Hitz – If anyone here knows Jaymar Cabebe in real life, please tell him a girl named Kring is crushing on him big time. I rarely use the adjective “sexy” on men but holy mother of god, that dude’s SEXXXXAAAAYYY!!! I hope he doesn’t have a girlfriend yet… or something. LOL.
2. Mother’s Day – Priceless.
1. This video is the shit!!!
