SPRING/ MARCH BREAK IS OVER, I AM NOT READY FOR SCHOOL… WHAT SHOULD I DO???

Have you ever felt uneasy, and nervous after a long break to go back to school? Whether it is a test, teacher, friends bullies WHATEVER; you just don’t wanna go back. Have you felt that? Well I feel the same way all the time! The first day back is a little hard. So here are some tips to get you back on track focused on school!

DO’S AND DON’TS TO  GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!

DON’T:

-Sleep late on the night before going back to school (THAT’S WHAT WEEKENDS ARE FOR DUH!)

-Wait until the LAST DAMN minute to pack/ organize school bag (You end up forgetting all your materials like moi)

-Wait until the last minute to do your homework (This is a big NO NO!!! If your the type who does not like to write in your agenda, please take extra notice and precautions!)

-ONCE AGAIN, don’t sleep late!!! When you start the habit, you screw up your times of when u feel like sleeping! Sleeping helps you stay focused and on top of your game in school!

-Don’t skip class. First day is a tempt to skip, but just don’t. ( I did that; by the time I came to school next day, there were 3 pop tests waiting for me the next day. Just my luck.)

-DONNOT search asian dramas b4 school starts!!! (Just know that if you do, there are consequences to face like: addiction, obsession with a hawt asian actor, in depth search of the drama’s ost, going all nighter for the drama, excessive conversations with friends about how hawt the drama or actor was… JUST DON’T!)

Do:

-GO TO SCHOOL (it’s not that difficult ppl!)

-Pay attention ( Even if you don’t, DON’T make it obvious that you are not ok? THERE ARE WAYS! I’ll go through that maybe in my next post)

-Ask ppl how their break was, but for ppl who think you need to go in depth on where and when they did what they did, keep conversation simple. No one REALLY wants an in depth study of how they spent their break.)

-Keep an optimistic mood about school, it may not be no Jonas Brother’s Concert (by the way, i am not a fan), or a walk in the park, but just think maybe, juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust maybe, something unexpected will fall out of the sky and hit you.

Here is a song i LOVE SOOOO much by the taiwanese drama “P.S. Man” (you should watch it is pretty good, o yes, you may have noticed i have not added this to the list of dramas on my drama list, but i will update it SOON! If you are wondering, WHAT list?!?!?! It is at the top right corner of my blog, there should be two tabs in that corner called “My Asian Dramas!!!”. Still can’t find the tabs? Try: http://karmenz2blogz4luved7up.wordpress.com/ It should soo b there! Enjoy the song “Who Am I” by “Magic Power” <3

DEADLY PROCRASTINATIONS!!! (and how to stop them X)

Everyone looking at this post must be a victim of the deadly procrastination. You know you’ve done it, everyone does it. It is nothing to be guilty of, it is just something we do to stall the work that HAS to be done. However, once you start it is like a drug, it gets addictive and you end up doing it all the time!

So here are some tips to prevent the deadly procrastinations:

-Don’t take a nap before you do something! (Taking naps gives you energy, but it makes you lazy, TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!!!

-Don’t turn on music, you end up going on youtube finding more songs to put on mp3 or fiddle with the playlist on what song to listen to!

-Don’t close the door of your room if you have a small room, it makes your room hotter (even in winter), then you get stuffy and dizzy.

-Don’t go to work on an empty stomach, you end up unconsciously raiding your fridge. (HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY, i ended up having a feast)

-Don’t work in a cluttered environment. (I did that last week; I ended up cleaning my whole room before i started on my essay)

-Don’t have study sessions or “study parties”. (it never works; you can never make work “fun”)

-Don’t have people over. ( you end up talking about what fabric softener is better; like me)

-Don’t give yourself a stupid excuse to not do the work like “I can always do it tomorrow”. (Just imagine you’ll die next week; that might help a bit)

What TO DO to prevent the deadly procrastinations and how to stop them when you need to stop them the most:

-Do make sure you have everything you need to complete your task (One time i ran up and down the stairs at least 45 times before i was ready to start)

-Do put some light snack and refreshments on the side. Don’t overload the table; this isn’t a Thanksgiving dinner you know.

-Do have the workplace to be organized beforehand, if it is very cluttered, just throw it all on the floor and clean it later. (I do it all the time =)

-Do write down everything you need to do if it is a long task to prevent lost memories on what to do.

-Lastly, DO IT, DON’T MAKE ME HARASS YOU TO GET IT DONE!

Oh right, check for updates on this. You may never know i may add more tips because I always discover a new way to procrastinate =D

Here’s a treat, its one of  my fave songs ^_^

ASIAN DRAMA CRITQUE: THE MYTH 2010

Searching more dramas to watch,I came across a drama called “The Myth”. Now actually, I didn’t know there would be drama coming out based on the famous film with Jackie Chan in it! It just so happen that this time Jackie Chan was the producer along the director who filmed with him before, Stanley Tong!

I have to say, based on the many dramas I’ve watch like Princess Returning Pearl, Virtues of Harmony, Moonlight or Resonance, Dae Jang Geum (AKA Jewel in the Palace), The Myth is definitely something to think about watching!

In this drama, Hu Ge plays a playboy who like to take the easy way out in life, but when he comes across an ancient box, he travels back in time to the Qin Dynasty era. As he goes through obstacles to find his way back home, he becomes a legendary hero. While he is in the Qin Dynasty era, his girlfriend and family goes through obstacles  to open the box that took him back in time as well as try to avoid the robber who are going after them for the box. Piece by piece the story reveals hidden secrets which will unfold the story.
