Real World/Road Rules Challenge: THE RUINS - Recap. Episode 1

The challenge "The Ruins" started and the 1st episode was INTENSE. It felt like the older, more better challenges with the rules and older castmates.

Castmates like

Veronica (1999 road rules)
Tonya (2001 real world)
Syrus (1997 real world)
Susie (1998 road rules)
Darrell (2002 road rules)
Katie (2001 road rules)
Adam (2003 real world)
Brad (2004 real world)
Derrick (2004 road rules)
Ibis (2004 road rules)

are all back thank god.

Some still look great and others...like Tonya...

(2003 Battle Of The Sexes 1)


(2009, The Ruins)


Well..yeah.....

So the rules are announced by the annoying T.J. Lavin who's been hosting 9389483 challenges..




The Champions team.

So everybody parties and gets to know each other.

There's this whole love..pentagon between Kelly Anne, Johanna, Kenny, Wes, Cohutta...dangg..
Out of this whole thing Johanna's a huge bitch who really wants Kenny. Wes is really cocky and flips out every second about the game.

Wes and Darrell fight...it seems that Darrell has changed..he was so different in previous challenges..




Then Darrell gets Kelly Anne involved who's with Wes and it becomes this huge mess.

Tonya gets wasted and makes a fool of herself. I feel so bad for this girl, her life has been so hard. She was so normal on the older challenges like "Battle of the sexes 1" and "the gauntlet 1"..how odd...




Derrick and Ev helping Tonya.

So after the first challenge the Champion team wins even after Wes tried to throw it since they were all planning on sending him to the "ruins". Wes's planned backfired and it was really funny.


Katie and Susie (old school girls)

Wes and Chet are going to the ruins and Tonya and Diem are.

Chet who's a newbie loses and gets sent home but it was a pretty close match. I liked how he helped tonya out when she was plastered..he's a good kid..

Tonya beat Diem and Diem went home but apparently she had previous engagements to attend so she lost on "purpose". I'm glad she's gone cause Diem is so annoying. She thinks she's such a great competitor and an amazing person but she's not....

The episode ends and they show you the "this seasons on the ruins"...

I can't wait to see Tonya slapping Veronica. That looked intense and they showed Katie screaming at Veronica saying she'll choke her. Love the drama between the old school castmates. More Wes drama and Darrell fighting with Brad surprisingly.

Part 2. Yelp! June!

Too long to write everything. Esther went cuh-razy that night. bathtub and vomit explains everything hoorah. I am very thankful that i remember everything but wow someone needed to calm down! Thank god everything turned out okay but wow everybody was freaking out.

It was sharon's party but she was so emo hahaha. She was always by herself sitting somewhere random.

Me, Eurie and Sharon took a nice walk outside at like 1AM around boston but they wanted to go back inside cause it was cold, but it didn't feel cold to me. Probably cause i was randomly dancing while walking. I notice I always dance at random times. During a conversation I'll randomly start dancing and my friends will be like wtf...haha. ESPECIALLY when a good upbeat song is playing.

YELP!

Yelp is this review website where everyday people write their own reviews of places (restaurants, bars, clubs, stores). I've become so addicted to it! I love writing my own reviews haha i don't know why. You can give 1-5 stars to the place.

http://www.yelp.com/user_details_reviews_self?userid=53nVNYxlDD0_WinE1dA_7A

my reviews so far =)

I always say I'm going to update frequently but it seems as though I update once a month..haha.

JUNE is tomorrow yet it's so cold! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!?!
I want 80-90 degree weather but the forecast is saying its only going to be in the 60-70's this whole week =( =( =( What happened to global warming??

I got a job at fudruckers in North Andover. It's pretty fun, there's a lot of work actually..and we do not accept tips...WE SHOULD THOUGH. I don't understand why we don't. The managers probably don't want us to make extra money or something cause many customers offer to give tips to us but we can't accept them ugh. 2 of the managers are chill but one of them is a lil bitch. WOW she's so fake and bitchy. I can't stand her. I may try and find another job because of her.

FINALS! FINALS! FINALS! and Part 1 of Eurie/Sharon's Birthday Party.

I'm done with 2 of my finals thank god..BUT i still have 3 more to go!!! =(

AHHHHH god i hate finals..I'm coming home for summer break May 14th (thursday)! I seriously cant wait.

I'm gonna die from this research proposal for Psychology which is extremely hard and time consuming. I have a good grade in that class too so i cant eff it up.

As soon as I get home I'm gonna try and find a job quickly! I need an income. There's lots that I wanna do this summer. Being a waiter would be cool since you get a lot of money from tips but I probably would be horrible at that job though.

The last time I was home was actually 2 weeks ago. I came home for my friends birthday party (Eurie and Sharon). It was also sealgi's birthday party but she couldn't make it last minute!! But anyways it was a lot of fun.

We all ate at "Privus" in Allston, MA. Damn I love this place!! We went at like sunset and sat by the open windows. We had a party of 11. This random fob was there and was pretty obnoxious the whole time. Most of us wanted him to leave QUICKLY.














So about our time at "Privus". It's my 2nd time eating there, but this experience was better because it was at night. There were a lot more people and we had to wait for more seats cause some dumbass took our reserved table..It was one guy sitting at table of 10, eating alone. WTF. The staff finally told him to leave and he left very bitter but it was clear that that table was reserved for us!

While we waited for the table though Me and Eurie waited at the bar since the host told us too. As soon as we sat down the bartender came up to us and asked us what drinks we would like. Me and Eurie looked at eachother and laughed, then he was like "Oh...Would you like some menus instead?" LOL! Too bad..we probably could've gotten drinks!! I assume he thought we were both 21+ hahaha.


(Not my picture)

We finally got the table and ordered our meals. Me and Eurie shared the bon chicken which was AMAZING. It was so good and lived up to my expectations. I payed for that whole meal since it was Eurie's birthday. Everyone else got sushi. I love the decor of Privus! It's so modern and classy! I felt so mature eating there, as funny as it sounds. I definitely wanna eat there again sometime soon....at night. Our bill came up to be $111, which of course took us a long time to pay because as usual, we were short -_-. We finally realized that they included tip. We sadly couldnt reach $111 but got to $109...ehh close enough!

We left at around 9:30PM. We then headed to Jen's apartment which she let us use to party overnight! Ellen and Joanne invited some annoying fobs who weren't supposed to come -___- everybody was upset and uncomfortable but whatever. Me and Eurie referred to them as objects, things, "that", and "it".

We got to the apartment and.....

PART II will come soon. That night was crazy/fun. Thankfully I remember everything!! Unfortunately there were a few people who did not remember most of the night.

I gotta go to the library and work on my dumbass research proposal....

4AM

It is 4AM and I am at the library miserably writing my term paper for my History of Middle East/U.S. class.

I've only written 1 page so far and I have 5 more to go unfortunately. I'm extremely frustrated and A.D.D. at this point. I just want to get it done and sleeeeeeeeeeeep!!

I am excited for breakfast since i rarely eat breakfast at school. I will probably go to breakfast right when it opens which is around 7AM. My 9:40AM class was canceled today so I am very happy about that.

So today I am taking the "Fung-Wah" Bus home! I hate carrying my luggage to Chinatown. Chinatown is so dirty, smelly, and just plain nasty! I'm being completely honest. I've been there many many times and I still do not like it other than the fact that they have a really good "Boba (Bubble Tea)" place there.

It takes a long time to get there because

1. Take shuttle to the ferry
2. Ferry ride 25 minutes
3. Subway to Canal st.
4. Walk to the bus station.

All of that WHILE carrying my luggage. =( I used to take a taxi from the ferry terminal but hmmm $10 taxi or $2 subway...i'll go with the subway ride!

SPRING is lovelyyyyy.
The leaves are coming in and the flowers are blooming, and best of all...it's getting warmer!!

This campus (Wagner College) is georgous, especially in the Spring time.

I am excited to go home this weekend! I am throwing a birthday party for 3 of my friends who have April B-Days and we're all sleeping over. I think about 10 people are coming. It'll be fun and hopefully there'll be no drama! I also have an orthodontist appointment Friday morning...yes i still have braces......-_____-

I cannot wait till summer and I am dreading my upcoming finals....*sigh*..

I hope to move to Manhattan soon...Save up some money, get a cheap apartment and get a roommate. Get a job and take acting classes and go to auditions. I can't get enough of Manhattan, I love it so much. I love the city!

I am so stressed out right now, I just want to breakdown..aghh..I hate college, yet I love it!

I don't really update my blog but hopefully I will, seriously. I want to look back in say 5 years and read about what I was going through back then. I started this blog because I wanted to read about how I was back then like when I did Xanga. I would read my old entries from like 2005 and the entries would refresh my memory of the events that occured. I loved that I wrote so much in each entry and in such intricate details.

There's so much that I want to say now but I'll save it for later entries. I'll hopefully update again REAL soon like Friday =).

MARCH!!

Listening to: "Cause A Scene" - Teairra Mari (Ft. Flo-Rida)
^ new song, love ittttttttttttt.

I needa update more lol.

It's MARCH!! I can't wait till the weather gets warmer, i'm so excited!! I can't stand the cold at all.
But it's snowing now WTF, i'm so mad..it was like 56 on friday.


FRIDAY - I went to "Club Deco" in Manhattan, for this mardi gras party even though mardi gras was on wednesday lol. I went with two of my friends and my friend brought his girl. I went to that club the week before and had a fun time but this experience was a lil different. It's 18+ yet my friend who's 18 still used her fake 21 ID wtf..and she got caught by the bouncer HAAHHAH but she eventually got in for free still cause she like argued with him lol.













(Club Deco) It's pretty small.

The DJ sucks!! he only played a few good songs. The drinks were okay..pretty expensive like $10 for a mixed drink. Me and my friend left at around 1AM cause the music friggin stopped cause something happened to the speakers WTF!! we finished our last drink, got some mardi gras beads and left..my other friends just stayed.

We ended up going on to TimeSquare to hang and go to eat a diner "out of it". We left the club at 1 and there were still a lot of people in line. WOW...

The diner was nice, the food was really good. I got home at around 5AM cause i wanted to walk around more hahaha and the ferry in the morning comes every HOUR instead of every 30 minutes =(.

I want boba and red mango SO BADLY! ahhh..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So 2 of my friends are going to the JYP auditions in NYC (korean entertainment) for singing. They've been practicing A LOT, i hope they become trainees! That'll be sick. After talking to them for a long time about it, I've decided that I'm going to audition for fun hahahhaa. I'm going to do a dancing audition. I think it'll be a interesting and fun experience.

After the audition, if they like you, they'll privately inform you to stay after to see you do more stuff. Then after like 2 weeks, they'll notify you with the answer. If you get in you'll have the option of accepting and moving to Korea to become a trainee..usually with like 2-3 years of training then you'll Debut..crazy stufffff.

I'm hungry, I'm gonna go and eat. seeyaa

America's Best Dance Crew: Episode 4 Recap

So season 3 started and I'm a little disappointed with the crews. This seasons not as good as the previous 2. The challenges are wack, wtf was up with this weeks?

Can someone remove Lil' Mama please!! wut tha hell wuz she wearing?!?! looked like a banana dressed up as a flight attendent. She can't speak and says weird things..ughh..

Quest Crew - They'll probably/hopefully win. Awesome moves and choreography. This week they provided a sick illusion that confused me until "Hok" revealed himself..i was like WTF?!?!!

Beat Freaks - I like them but this week was just okay.....the challenge just sucked.

Strikers All-Stars - Great energy but it didn't amaze me or excite me, but i still like them.

Dynamic Edition - I sorta liked them at first but they're very repetitive! Every dance is the same and it's getting boring. I hope they go home soon..and the guy needs to fix his atrocious teeth.

BOTTOM 2:

Fly Khicks - I'm glad they stayed because i hated Ringmasters!!! Although I hope they go home next week. They're very clean and i liked the whole running on their backs thing.

Ringmasters - SO HAPPY THEY LEFT!! Their dance did have one cool moment but they're so sloppy and i aint feeling the whole bone breaking thing...When they got eliminated one of the members seemed so pissed! i was laughing at the screen in enjoyment HAHAHHAHA. After he did that random-ass back flip he like made this pissed off look at everybody..OH well ya'll r gone now =)



This seasons pretty disappointing. I watched the auditions on youtube and there are so many other crews that should've made the show like: FR3SH and Rhythm City..ugh so pissed...

and BoxCuttuhz had an amazing audition performance in the audition room..but mtv totally F*CKED up and did not use their audition song..apparently they couldnt "clear" the song since they didn't have the rights to it..the song is one of my favorites "I Got A Bottle" Trina (Ft. Missy Elliott). The dance was sick but had to change it last minute because of the song and had to dance to a song that they were very uncomfortable with =(.

Team Millenia leaving pissed me off. Their first dance was wack but they definitely made it up in their next 2 dances and did not deserve to go home over Ringmasters. I was especially pissed off since i was tipsy at the time too ugh. I know they could've came harder though, i've seen their youtube videos they're SICK.

Hopefully next weeks episode will be better.. I'm more into choreography rather than "tricks" and all the choreography crews are gone ugh...maybe thats why i'm not really feeling this season? the other crews i loved were choreography based groups (Jabbawockeez, Kaba Modern, A.S.I.I.D, SoReal..etc)

It's snowing and I'm TIRED.

It is snowing outside right now and im hoping classes are cancelled but they're probably not...
okay i have class at 1PM-6PM! UGHH!! I did choose these times but still. 3 classes back to back is not fun at all.

I really just want to sleep right now, i got no sleep because my roommate snores SO LOUD. I'm pretty sure he has a problem because i did a lil' research on the internet about snoring hehe.

I'll hopefully update frequently as i did when i used "Xanga" a while ago.

I cannot wait until summer!! i can't stand the cold at all. I hate being cold, I like being warm. I love going to the beach and being in sunny weather =)

I was going to go to the gym today but because of the crumby weather, i probably will stay-in. BOOOO i actually wanted to work-out. Okay i want to go to the gym 4 times a week starting NOW! I want to continue this until summer.

I've been eating "calcium chews" lately. Hopefully it'll help me since I don't eat/drink many things with calcium. Hopefully I'll grow taller!!! Even though I'm 18 but I still have some time........aghh...

Okay it's like 12:49PM i have to go to class now...and walk in the snow =(
