Wish list 2013

What's going on? Hope your Friday is treating you well. Last night I was thinking of my wish list that I made way back in 2007. In the list I had wrote places to travel to & things to buy. Never in my life I would have imagined to have actually accomplished some of those things. I'll post it up next week because I wrote like 50 items *bahaha*

So, for 2013, here is the brand new & improved wish list:

  1. Learn to surf 
  2. Act in a short film. Try 5 different types of characters. 
  3. Start swimming again. 
  4. Learn to play the guitar. 
  5. Start playing the piano again 
  6. Trip to Africa, to see some actual wild life. 
  7. Learn to cook (finish cooking 1 book of Jamie Oliver) 
  8. Meet Chad Michael Murray 
  9. Meet Shay Mitchell 
  10. Play Nerf with Michelle Rodriguez
I think 1, 3-7 should be pretty easy. The acting one would take some time but it could work. 8,9,10 must happen :P be it in Malaysia or in the US. 

So what is the 10 things on your wish list?

You may say I'm dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

After watching an episode of Sesame Street back in 1993, I decided that I wanted to be a Vet. I wanted to help animals as much as I could. Years went by and the only time I didn't want to be a vet was when I could not get into Form 6 to do my studies locally.

The last I checked, to study veterinary science overseas was really expensive. I don't know how much it is now, but then again, it would not make a difference.

When I did not resit my SPM (i wanted to do it a year later, trying to study for it la), my brother said "Go & give Mass communications a shot." I did, I liked it, it's interesting & it is not for stupid people. LOL.

However, with my diploma in Mass communications and my passion for animals, the new dream job became a wild life film maker. I love making videos & animals, so BOOM = kick ass job. I may not be able to do it just yet, but I can film the wild animal I own, who goes by the name of Pepsi. haha, she's my dog by the way.

Back to the title, I love to dream big, because hey, it's my dream to do these things. It's my expectation for myself & I must find a way to meet my own expectations, because it would make me happy, saying I can do something and actually achieving it. *thumbs up*

Dream big, dream wild because it's your dream. Don't give up when the whole world is against you. Dust off the sand & stand strong, you know you can do it ;)

Emotions

Welcome to another Friday Filler, written on a Saturday posted on Friday because I'm awesome like that. The reason I couldn't post this on Friday, was simply because I was cleaning my room & got too tired to write. It's about time I start scheduling my post, prepare them way before hand.

So, let's jump into today's post : Emotions.

My buddy Juria is conducting a study on emotions & it got me thinking about the range of emotions I go through. There is the obvious Anger, the occasional Sad, the almost around Happy, the rare Fear and the everyday Neutral.

The everyday Neutral - Wake up in the morning, switch on the PC, watch a whole load of Pretty Little Liars, Charmed, One Tree Hill episodes, have food, eat, sleep, shower.

The rare Fear - When my dad had his 3rd heart attack. You don't know if he's gonna make it or not. If he doesn't, how does the dynamics of the family change? I sure as hell need to get job. :/ He survived the attack & is doing well, but whenever I get nervous about anything, I always remember the scariest day of my life, which was the day my dad his 3rd heart attack.

The almost around Happy - When I eat something awesome, when I laugh till I can't breathe, when I get something done. I want to be happy more often & I'm looking forward to make it happen.

The occasional Sad - Days that I would cry myself to sleep. Losing people, wondering why am I so messed up. Why am I not good enough. This usually hits me before I go to bed & it's so annoying trying to cry it out and/or sleep. I thank God I haven't felt this way in a long time. Progress! *thumbs up*

The obvious Anger - Is it odd that I'm tired of being angry?  If I'm angry when I'm on the road, I end up driving a tad bit reckless. I know its a danger to me & others especially but I flip out, like the hulk. It's bad & I don't like it. Worst thing is, what calms me down is usually a root beer float and it's not around when I need it. Seems like I should invest in a chiller, a big mug and crates of Root Beer. Swing by a McDonalds & get some ice cream lol. It drains my energy, being angry at times. I also end up losing my appetite when I'm mad. Not sure if that is a good thing.

What are your range of emotions & how do you deal with it? Let me know in the comments!
I find writing about it makes me feel calm. Talking to people helps, but if there is no one to listen to, smash your keyboard! x)

Suits


I noticed that none of my TV show blog post give you any information about the show, just the fact that I like  it and I'm gonna show you some pictures. I'm going to change that today.

Suits, a show about lawyers on USA Network (a sub of NBC Universal) is about 1 lawyer, Harvey Spector (on the left) who has a Harvard  Law Degree and 1 genius dude with photographic memory, Mike Ross who didn't even go to law school. The series revolves around how Harvey got away with hiring Mike, even though the firm Pearson & Hardman only takes people who have gone to Harvard.

Assuming that you've watched season 1 already, you'd know that Trevor (Mike's ex best friend) told the managing partner of Pearson & Hardman, Jessica Pearson that Mike does not have a degree

They just wrapped season 2 & are going to start filming for season 3 in April. Suits comes back on TV in June. The last episode of season 2 was crazy! I won't spoil it for anyone, but you should catch up on it! Malaysian television is slow. LOL

I was lucky enough to meet Patrick J. Adams when he was down here. No, I didn't win the tickets for that silly Suits party. Why am I calling it silly? Well, a lot of local well known people were there. I don't like calling them celebrities, well to me because they are not. They are just really lucky people who are on TV, who are models and the list can go on. Also, I got an invite, then the invite was revoked because it was an error on their half. 


One of the most amazing, down to earth actor I've ever met. Thanks for making my day and for taking at least like 3 pictures with me, since my friends ended up taking bad ones LOL. 

I would love to go to Toronto, to catch them filming & hey, if the studio has studio tours, why not? It sucked that we weren't allowed to take pictures on the One Tree Hill set. *le sigh* but I've got mental images. Too bad I can't extract them lol. 

So, do you watch Suits? If you do, what do you think of the season 2 finale? and if you don't, what are you waiting for? :D

Pretty Little Liars


I'm so horrible. I only started watching Pretty Little Liars after meeting Troian Bellisario. But I kinda told her I was a fan. You don't lie to a celeb! But none the less, I have fallen in love with the show after watching it. So problem solved! I am at season 1 at the moment. Yes, a lot of catching up. Spare me the spoilers, even though I did some reading & screwed my self. 

I think at the moment, I really adore Spencer. Not being biased (since I met Troian and all), but honestly, I admire how smart she is. It's because I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed and I admire people who are smart and don't show off unlike most of the kids I used to know in Primary & Secondary school. Plus she's got a wicked style of dressing


Troian Bellisario as Spencer Hastings

I would like to finish watching all 3 seasons by the end of March. I'm currently at episode 18 of Season 1. The TV rip was low quality, so I'm gonna have to download it. Kudos to Juria for handing me season 1 & 3! I actually downloaded season 2, but it was bundled with only 10 episodes. D: 


Oh yeah, so since the world works like "pictures or it didn't happen" , here's a picture of Troian & I at Chinoz KLCC.


This is the first time I did this whole stalking thing. Most of the time I get lucky & win passes to meet and greets. How I did this? 3 smart phones, 1 of them must have instagram & 1 with twitter. Another one as a spare. Get this & you're good to go. 

So, here's how it happened :  I was on the train heading to Pavilion to look for them. 
I was on Instagram & Patrick J. Adams had just posted a picture of the Petronas Twin Towers. 
My friend Sha-Lyn was going to join me on this adventure.  I called her & told her to meet me at KLCC instead. Then, we walked around, walked all the way to Traders Hotel, no sight of them. Then we did a twitter search to see if anyone had spotted them & someone tweeted "@halfadams come out of Chinoz now!" 

We ran to Chinoz, my friend Alexia took the plunge and went in, then we joined her. I had the chance to chat with Troian, since everyone else was ogling over Patrick. :P I told Troian I had a bad start to the day because I didn't get through the auditions for the 8tv Quickie Search & my friend did, the friend who i told about auditions & he got to stage 2. Troian was so nice and she said "Oh no, but if he gets it, he owes you big time".

Troian & Patrick were the most down to earth people I've ever met. Imagine, you put your hand out for a handshake & introduce yourself, you say "Hi my name is Suemitraa", and they go "Hi, I'm Troian/Patrick". 
Instantly in my mind I'm like : 


I know who you are! :P 

So, if you haven't started watching Pretty Little Liars, you should! It's good & I've got season 1's TV Rips. Haha, if you expected me to watch on Malaysian TV, I'd be cursing about the amount of scenes these idiots remove for the sake of censorship. 

That wraps up this post. Woohoo, blogged before the end of the day! *Achievement unlocked!*

Have a great week ahead & thanks for reading! Cheers.

All new programming schedule

Greetings fellow readers (if there are any) . I hope the 1st day of March is treating you well.

I've got some updates, as I would like to take blogging more seriously, here is the new programming schedule.

Wednesday - VOW (vlog on Wednesday) First video is next week! I'm so excited and I cannot wait to show you. Even though I haven't filmed it yet. teehee! At least I'm being honest right? ;) It will be posted on my youtube channel : http://www.youtube.com/iamsuemitraa

Friday - Friday Fillers / Feasts. I'm hoping to take more pictures this year. Project 365 didn't go as planned. Bummed, but the show must go on. Not sure where I will post the pictures (flickr, photobucket, etc) but I will post some of them here for you to see & drool over :D

Sunday - Blog. The regular writing/rants/thoughts every Sunday. If I can prepare the post before hand, I could have is schedule to be out on Sunday by 6pm. :)

If this all goes according to plan, I will have 4 videos for my VOW series, Friday Fillers (today is the new announcement day, so cut some slack okay? hehe) & 5 Sunday Blog post.

I do hope you support me on this mini journey, because if I can keep going at this, I think I wouldn't mind looking into jobs that require me to write! That is because I consider writing my Achilles heel.

Until my next post on Sunday, you have a good day, kicking off the month of March. Cheers! ;)
