Celebrities

For some reason, this post totally got deleted and I'm not that happy with it either. So I'm going to rewrite a similar post about this topic.

On the day that I posted the "original" Celebrities topic, I mentioned that I thought I saw someone famous I believe. I can't believe I still didn't forget it. I think it was one of the Chinese stars. Anyways, did I mention the few rules that you're supposed to "follow" if you are stuck in one of those, "I think I just met a celebrity and I want to go up and say hi but he/she may not be a celebrity and I'll get embarrassed" situations? I think I did... I'll post some of them anyways.

1. Confirm it

I'm pretty sure this was not on the previous post. But, confirm who you're trying to talk to. Body language is your main focus here too. If the person wants to stay hidden, they will most likely adjust their cap (if they have one on) to hide their face occasionally. Otherwise, they should be rather nervous in such a public place. You know how your mom is always at one of those markets and she doesn't care if she gets seen. She holds her head high trying to look for good food? Well... my mom at least... The person will be trying to get out of the store once they got what they wanted.

2. Decide

I'm pretty sure this wasn't on the previous post either. Decide whether you want to go up and satisfy your curiosity or just let it go. If it was me, I would let it go. But there are those people who are really curious and want to at least see if they can actually meet a celebrity no matter what.



Ah.. I think I put up "do nots" instead of rules. Well, I can still do it.

1. Do not embarrass yourself

That's the number one thing. Imagine being in a very crowded place and you thought you met someone famous or something by luck. Imagine yourself actually meeting someone like Christina Aguilera for some reason. The very next day, you can see yourself on the front page with the headline, "Girl Wants To Become Famous By Kissing Up to Christina!" or something. I do not know, I'm making this up along the way.

2. Do not be paparazzi like

You see, there's a reason why a celebrity would go out at night to buy their daily needs like food. It's because of the paparazzi. Some do not like to be stalked all the time. It gets on their nerves. Don't go up to your favorite celebrity of all time and start asking for photographs and pictures. If you want to become friends, just say hi and tell them how much you like their works. Maybe you can also try a little "insight" advice to that person and see if you can capture their interest. After you finish your "little" (and I do mean little. Not many celebrities like people who talk to much. Kind of reminds them of the press) conversation, just smile, nod, and walk away. Best solution for everything.

3. Do not get overly excited

You see, after being someone famous, it's obvious to them what a fan would want. Once they start talking to a fan, they can guess what the fan is going to ask them next or so and so. It's something you pick up along the way. Pretend you meet Britney Spears and you really love her songs.

You: Hello, Britney! I really love your songs.
Britney: Thank you.
You: Ums.. can i...?
Britney: (ALREADY THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT; autograph, photograph, dinner, appointment, etc)
You: Can I have your autograph?
Britney: (She's probably thinking something like, 'Bingo'.)

Nice job. You just made a obvious and common fan impression on your favorite person ever. It's nice if you thought ahead. Of course, I have no right to decide what you want to say or do.

4. Don't be too obvious

Leave a mysterious side. This goes for everyday life but maybe you didn't know it yet. Try to leave a mysterious yet deep impression on a person. It makes them think of you, wanting to know more. Smile knowingly. Walk away quickly. Pretend you don't know them. It strikes someone's curiosity if they're popular but yet you do not know them. It's more of a 75/25. 75% Fail and 25% Success.

5. Don't force a celebrity to like you

Many meet celebrities all the time. However, if the celebrity rejects the "fan", the fan actually keeps clinging onto something that's not there! That's called bothering. It's annoying and yet they do not realize it so I'm literally pointing it out. If a celebrity doesn't like you, it's final. However, many other chances in the future. So between the time now and the future, try figuring what you did wrong and try to "shape" up.

Not every celebrity is how they are on TV or some interview. Real life is more terrifying. You may think that your favorite celebrities like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Madonna and etc. are really nice. How do you know? Not that I'm trying to put those 3 singers down, it was just an example. Just don't overdo things.

Those "rules" are what I set up for myself actually. I just wanted to share a few views on things. I'm currently addicted to Korean music actually. Have fun trying to meet a celebrity!

Love In Reality

Today, I'm going to go a little off topic and show you this video first:





--I'm sorry, there's no english subtitles for these drama episodes yet!
These are from a drama called Fairy From Wonderland. It displays the love between a fairy and a human. Of course, it is not always like this in real life. That is why I chose to watch it. It showed the things that humans in real life cannot do. It only happens in movies. However, I have faith that I will witness something like this somewhere in my life. Hopefully in college, because at that time, maybe I will understand more.

While I was watching these episodes, I cried. I thought. I talked. What if that happened to me? What if my parents were against me loving someone? What if I was just like the girl in the episode? Would my life be different?

I always thought of myself as a spirit resting in this body. I look out from these eyes but they're not my eyes. They're just there. I thought of myself living a dream... waiting to wake and find that I'm another person, remembering my past lives, reliving them. After I finish reliving them, I will then, return to reality, back to the present.

All this magic. I wish I could forget. But, I know I cannot. It's something etched into my memory, cannot be deleted. If a computer file is useless, you can just press the delete button. But I cannot do that. No normal human being is able to.

I once loved this boy. Maybe it was love or maybe it's infatuation. All I know is that it's selfless love. It's one sided love. I never knew how he felt about me. But, I loved him all the same. He graduated. He's gone. But, I don't think my heart ever left him. I do not know why..

Childish isn't it? Please vote:







































Thank you for reading.

Snobs

Ok, just like the previous post (See Naggers), I will provide a definition from www.dictionary.com because it proves to be of some... value to this post:

snob

1. a person who imitates, cultivates, or slavishly admires social superiors and is condescending or overbearing to others.
2. a person who believes himself or herself an expert or connoisseur in a given field and is condescending toward or disdainful of those who hold other opinions or have different tastes regarding this field: a musical snob.

Ah... a person with different views than the "commoners" is what these definitions mean. More than that, they think they're SUPERIOR (coughcough check Narcissist). Trust me, they're not all that superior as they think they are. If they were such superior people, then everyone would probably look up to them with the usual 1-10 out of their school/work place that don't like them. But.. for snobs.. that kinda doesn't apply. They do nothing. They are popular for no apparent reason except for the big three:

1. They are rich.
2. They are pretty.
3. They are sexy.

Yup, got that right. Those are usually the main three. Otherwise, it's also because they know the coolest person in the school/work place or because they're teacher pets or ass kissers at their company. Please excuse some of the rude language being posted here. I had no other way to describe who I was talking about.

You see.. snobs talk in this kind of way that is easily distinguished. Mostly because they watch a lot of those "American" TV shows or movies. Almost every snobby person out there has 10 million "like"'s in their sentences. There will be a pause at the end of each like to show that they know their grammar. Believe me, most of you are now thinking that this is stereotypical. Watch this:




Notice how many times they say "like" and "ya" please!






This video is to show how kids think about snobs mostly. Do you see how it goes now?
Thank you for reading my blog!
