Shucks?

If you searched the web for 'shucks', they'd probably tell it is a slang word. But why shucks? This is completely my thinking and this may not be the correct origin.

You use 'shucks' like it's something of a cry of disappointment, something like that. You use it like:

'Shucks! I dropped that bucket of bleach down the roof!' Yeah well, ya get the idea.

Now if you've noticed, 'shucks' can be replaced with 'shit' and 'f***'. It doesn't sound weird when you replace that with these two. So what I think is, 'shucks' originated from the two words. After all, 'shucks' is kind of like a mixture of 'shit' and 'f***'. But what about the S behind? I really don't know, maybe it sounds more pleasant that way?

I need a co-blogger! Ahhh!!

I'm planning to start a book blog but the problem is, I need a co-blogger or guest-reviewer, whatever. I can't blog alone, I'm not entirely free because school's starting and IT'S A NEW SCHOOL FOR PETE'S SAKE and I'll have to spend time adjusting and adapting and since next year I'm in secondary 1, school and work is gonna get tougher and I just can't blog alone. I really want to blog, but it's be coming a chore if I overdo it. Not to mention, I need to gain statistics and followers and for now, it's practically nothing! I have no idea how to do so and it's stressing me out and it'll be nice to have perhaps one or two contributing to the blog. I can't find anybody to do that, nearly everybody I know finds books boring and even if they liked reading, they can't be bothered to write reviews! Chill, Vi. Cool it down.

Blogging isn't as easy as I thought, especially the gaining statistics part. For all I know, it's posting comments on other blogs, cross your fingers and hope they visit your blog and even then, they're really busy!

I don't have much time to go visiting numerous blogs and commenting. I don't even like to use electronic devices for long and how many comments can I possibly post in an hour? And not every post is worth commenting, who knows how much time I'd waste if I did that?

Pregnant Women

This is pretty crazy and random, but whenever you see a pregnant woman you don't think twice about it. Probably the most you'll go all 'she's carrying' and 'give up your seat'. Other than that, you just go about your way doing your own things.

Just not long ago, something just switched on in me. What if I am pregnant? How does it feel like?

Now wipe that knowing smirk off your face, I don't mean that. I don't go running off with boys and making love with them.*scratches neck uncomfortably* Not that there's anyone I'd like to do that with and anyone who-- Never mind.

How does it feel to have your belly swollen with a child who would most likely be kicking your guts out? Not the greatest feeling in the world, I assume.

In books, whenever a woman is pregnant, she vomits, gets cramps etc. That made me think that I'll never want to do *gulps* that with a guy. Whatever happens is just so... Urgh. No thanks, basically.

And the process of doing so, well, *blush attack* is too intimate. I'll most likely be wishing that I'm somewhere hidden amongst garbage cans than do that. Not that I have to worry. My guess is that no one would want to do that with me since I'm like an emo loser anyway. Fine, I don't wear black shirt and eyeliner, but I can have mood swings sometimes. One moment I'm happy as a lark and the other wishing you death.

Why I Hate Chain Messages

It goes along the line of something like this:

My name is Forever. I died when I was seven years old in a car accident,

no keep reading, do not stop or you'll die the same fate as me. 

My parents did not care about me. They abused and hated me.

My body was never found. All they found were bloody imprints of hands over the floor.

Send this to 12 other people in 30 mins and something great will happen to you.

But if you don't, you'll share the same fate as me in a day.

Yeah. Something like this. And to people who started this: to hell you go.

Basically, they're just lying twats aspiring to spread lies. Seriously, if you're one of them, I hope Forever seeks you out and you can be best buds in hell.

Because disgusting scumbags like you deserve that kind of fate. 

First of all, who the bloody freak cares about somebody who died in a car accident? I mean, yeah sure, you care when somebody close to you dies but c'mon, this dead girl obviously isn't that. And what can you do if she died? Sink to the underworld and steal her back? Yeah, right. 

And you know the number of times I've stopped just because of that shitty piece of sentence? Hey, I'm still alive and healthy here, dumbasses.

Your parents did not care about you? I’m sorry. But hey, now that you’ve died, they won’t bother you anymore, will they?

Bastards, those people.

And what great damn thing will happen to me if I sent the message to 12 other people? Nothing, idiots! Do I need to slap some sense into you? The only thing that’ll happen is that I’ve lost $1.20 no thanks to people like you.

See? Not only they aspire to spread lies, they plan to fling money out of people’s pockets too.

Fortunately, my IQ which is genius compared to their IQ worth of a sweet wrapper, did not bother sending out the messages. And hey, I’m alive here!

No offense to people who actually bothered to pass on the message, but are you dumb or what? You could have spend that period of time doing something useful than sending a shit-infested crap worthy message. You don't want to waste your friend's precious time, do you? Even just reading the message, they would have missed seconds of their lives towards inevitable death. Don't be selfish and stop wasting people's time. That goes the same to you, starters of chain messages. Time is precious. Stop spamming others with this trash of yours. If you're bored, try to think of ways to catch Nessie. You'll be famous which is way better than being a mindless asswipe.

15 Asian Stereotypes

Recently, I stumbled across a video on Asian stereotypes. It's really amusing to hear what non-Asians say about Asians.
Since I live in Asia, I'm just going to 'correct' things a little. Some of them are true, I must admit, but again, what I say are based on my experience and knowledge. Got that? Not all of Asia are the same.
Before I start, I'd like to acknowledge where I got the examples from.
http://arabella-octavius.deviantart.com/journal/Ultimate-List-of-Asian-Stereotypes-218827341?offset=20#comments

1. Asians are identical; they look all the same to Western people
Understandable. Did you know that I find Western people identical too?

2. Asians have straight, black hair.
We have that, yeah, but some have wavy, slightly curly hair too. Not frizzy, though. At least not anyone that I've seen.
3. Asian eat rice everyday.
I do. It's a staple food. And pretty much everyone in my country eats rice too.

4. Asians eat strange food.
I don't know what non-asians would consider strange, but if ducks, frogs, turtles, shark fin, chicken feet and whatever-nots are considered so then yes. I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat them but they're sold here. If you want to find even stranger food, go to China. I'm amazed at the variety they can eat.

5. Asians find no shame in slurping.
I don't slurp because personally, I find it rude, but the older generation thinks it's okay because that actually shows the person who prepared the dish that it's nice.

6. Asians must get A+ grades. Or else.
There are a few classmates of mine who actually goes to intensive tuition class, some even double for all subjects. I don't know what's with the competitive spirit here and they're actually pressurized to get outstanding grades. My parents aren't like that, but I'm expected to keep my standard by being in the top class.

7. Asians are math brainiacs.
I seriously don't know where you get that idea from. Aw, screw that. Why do most of you think that Asians are good at everything? They aren't! We are humans too, and we aren't perfect. Fine, I always get As for math. But does that mean I'm a math brainiac? No.

8. Asians can't speak English.
What language am I writing in?

9. Asian parents think their kids shouldn't date until university and even then, is still too young.
I don't know about others, but I can have a partner only when I'm 23.

10. Everyday conversation includes "Have you studied yet?"
I don't get this everyday, but one of the first things they ask when I go to a family reunion is this. And "一定要读好书！"
Translation: Be sure to study well!

11. Asian parents love to compare their children against other children.
*nods* Unfortunately so.

12. Asians are terrible drivers.
What? No. Maybe you got that from China. I went there once and there were traffic chaos everywhere.

13. Tigerbalm is their secret weapon.
Tigerbalm rocks! I assure you, this has nothing to do with the tigers. It's just a brand of an ointment or something.

14. Asian women have small curves.
Generally. Curves suck anyway. Piece of unwanted extension.

15. If it's not a birthday party, there is little reason to go out when that time can be spent studying or practicing an instrument.
Hee hee. For my country, generally.

My Super Short Introduction in Simplistic French (I don't even know how to speak)

Salut!

Mon nom est Violette. J'ai 12 ans. Je suis apprentissage français. (Did I use that correctly?) Je ne sais pas parler français. Je ne sais le différence entre avoir et etre. Je pense que français est très difficile à prononcer.

Au revoir,
Violette
