Thanksgiving + Black Friday

Yay! It's Thanksgiving Day! Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating it ^.^ The funny thing is, I don't even celebrate Thanksgiving but still decided to dedicate one post of my blog just to talk about it. I hope you people don't mind :)

Actually, I've never care much about Thanksgiving or should I say I'm rather ignorant about it. I'm a late learner. I just found out today that Thanksgiving is celebrated every fourth Thursday in November. In the past, I just assume that some people celebrate Christmas while some celebrate Thanksgiving on 25th Dec annually. Okay, I admit my foolish mistake. It's still better late than never right? :D

There are many things that I'm thankful for. If I can just say one, that would be my FAMILY is still around with me. It's hard to imagine my life without them. They are the ones who will stick with me through thick and thin. Without them, I'll probably live the rest of my life without any hope. That's why family is so important to me.

The situation expected :)

The real situation today :O

People always associate Thanksgiving with turkey. Well, people also consume turkey for Christmas. Honestly, this is why I have the confusion between Christmas and Thanksgiving in the past! o_O Does turkey taste good? I heard people saying how turkey taste like chicken and roast pork. I wouldn't know because I've never tried it.

I wonder if this ever happened...

Another thing that I learned is Black Friday. I've always thought that Black Friday is the name people called it when they are sad, gloomy and emotional on Friday and they just stay at home doing nothing instead of having fun outside during the weekend. Believe it or not, that is what I really thought until yesterday! Today, I found out that Black Friday is the name given to the day after Thanksgiving. It's also the day where many people shop a lot especially for the coming Christmas.

Now that I've cleared my little confusions, I realised how ignorant I am. I should definitely try to enrich myself before I really become a laughingstock to others. Then I found this quote by Sandra Magsamen. ["Every day is an opportunity to learn something or discover something or someplace. Be curious, play, go out on a limb, walk a different way to work, try a new food at dinner and keep learning and growing"] It's so true. There must be some new things that we never knew before, unless you are a lamp!

Skyfall

The title pretty much tells you everything :) Finally my brother and I went to watch Skyfall today and I can tell you the movie is definitely not disappointing. I just couldn't understand why some people rated such low stars on Skyfall. For me, Skyfall is a great movie!

I mentioned before that I'm not a fan of action-packed movies, but 007 series is definitely an exception! I love it when the actors who played James Bond said "My name is Bond, James Bond". I also love how charismatic they look when they wear that classic tuxedos!!

To think it's already 50 years since the first 007 movie in 1962. This year in 2012, marks the 50th anniversary of James Bond franchise. This just further proves that 007 is definitely the greatest movie of all time. I really wonder if the Bond fans 50 years ago still continue to be the Bond fans today. I think they will be more sentimental since they are the ones who's been attached to 007 since 50 years ago ^_^

I remember I was still that young little girl when I first started to watch 007. It was Pierce Brosnan's 007 movie! When I first saw him, I was literally blown away. He's so hot and he got that sexy gaze, if you know what I mean. Since then, I am officially an avid fan of 007 ^.^

Then the actor changed to Daniel Craig. Yes, no problem for me. I love him too! He is gorgeous as well especially his blue eyes. Ohhh~~

Sorry guys, I hope you don't mind reading what's written above. I just get excited while expressing my feelings towards James Bond ^_^

And and!! The theme song! I'll be totally honest with you guys. When I first heard "Skyfall" by Adele on youtube, I don't really like how it sounds. I was so upset that the great movie had such bad song as the theme song. It was after I watched Skyfall, then I realised the song has powerful emotion that totally matched with the movie. Now, I'm loving the song and probably will always do.

Last Paper!

Hello my lovely readers,

Are you wondering why I've been absent from my blog? It's because currently I'm still sitting for my AS Level exam which will ends TOMORROW!! You can probably tell that I'm feeling so excited right now :P

Another reason why I feel excited is because I got a date with my girlfriends tomorrow! We did see each other sometimes during the exam but we just couldn't catch up with each other. I do miss talking to them. So, gotta cure my friendsick soon! I got a feeling that tomorrow will be an awesome day! ^.^

 And a little random fact below. Is it true? ^__^

That's all for the update today. Have a good night :) Sweet dreams!
