Today is August 8th of 2007 and it is exactly a year before the Olympic Games begin in Beijing. So I just want to mention this fact because I saw a really cool commercial on TV today about it.

I couldn’t find the exact one I saw on TV, probably because it’s so new. But during the the time that I searched on YouTube, I also found out that a lot of people are thinking about and are planning to boycott the Olympic Games. Which really sucks because I don’t think I’m old enough to remember when the last time China has hosted the Games was, so I think it’s a great chance for China to display it’s originality and awesomeness, even if it is sort of old-school sometimes. To be honest, the reasons for boycotting are reasonable and oftentimes rational. But I don’t think looking at the negatives is going to help. Beijing 2008 has been decided and it’s not going to change, especially when there’s only exactly one year left. I think that it’ll be a great event and I’m just really looking forward to it. I hope that anybody who is going to the Games in a year’s time will have fun especially if it’s your first time there, because it’s just a great place to visit and get to know.

So apparently there’s a Soundtrack and a BUNCH of stars from Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan (I’m not sure if this is true or not, it’s just my guess) recorded this song above. I can’t say I love the song, but it’s okay I guess. It’s so like China to come up with something like this. Their style never changes. I hope just try something new for a change. It’s kind of getting boring…

In other news, I’ve gone back and started to watch 1 Litre of Tears, which is based on a real story. It’s known to be one of the most well-known tear-jerker in Japanese drama. But I haven’t cried a single tear yet and I’m already at episode 5. And why have I finally began watching one of the most well-known drama? I decided that I was going to record the song Only Human, which is the ending theme for 1 Litre of Tears, again for the 2nd time. However, when I was ready, I didn’t feel sad enough to bring out the sorrow in the song, so I began watching episode three, and then recorded it. For some reason Audacity took like 30 minutes to export the mp3, so I just watched episode four, and now I’m on episode 5.

I was looking for the English translation for the song too, and somehow had stumbled upon this blog. It’s a blog of a fan of the drama series and is translating the real blog that Kitou Aya, the person that 1 Litre of Tears was based on, kept when she had the disease. I left a mental note to myself that I will read it after I finish the series. Then, I realized that she had radio.blog on her side bar… And I’m like ?!?!?!?!? So now, I just discovered I need to get radio.blog hosted on some other site first… Which is why I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 opened, with no picture yet to start with…

On the other hand, I got an idea for the Wang Leehom wallpaper I still need to make, the one that I’ve already started four times. I will hopefully begin in a couple of days.

Coming back from Crate&Barrel to look at furniture for the new house, my face swelled with the worst pimples, zits and acnes.. It is better now after some rest.
