You might think this is another blog post about a daughter complaining about how annoying her mother is. Yes, you are right to some extent. But there's a thing you must know about Asian parents: THEY'RE CRAZY!

On Saturday morning, I was trying to write my Bombers story assignment for journalism. My mom yells at me from the kitchen.
"COME EAT!"
"Ma, I ate already, I'm doing my Bomber story."
"COME EAT!"
"I ate already!"

I ignore her. She comes into the living room and shoves a cup of tea in my face.
"Drink this tea!" she demanded. (Teehee, typical Asian drink)

I obediently took the cup of tea and set it down on the computer table; hoping that I wouldn't get any more interruptions. Literally, three seconds later my mom yells.
"COME EAT!"

Does she not understand that I'm trying to do homework? How could I possibly get any work done with so many distractions?
It's also impossible to get any peace and quiet in a house with Asian parents. They talk SUPER loud. I cannot get away!
For example, I am at Superstore; it's pretty loud in the store and I can hear my mom talk about tomorrow's dinner six aisles away.

The thing about my mom is that she talks to me as if I was 3000 miles away. I'm sitting right beside her and she yells in my ear. Not intentionally of course, but that's just how she talks.

But, my mom is like an audio track on repeat. She doesn't stop talking and repeats the same thing over and over again as if the people of the house didn't hear her the first time. Oh how I love her though. Life wouldn't be as funny without her.

The video below pretty much shows what I went through Saturday. ^_^

Panic Land with Seventh Appeal and Gates @ Crescent Fort Rouge United Church

September 18, 2010:

I was walking the streets on Wardlaw Avenue to the Crescent Fort Rouge United Church during the cool Saturday evening. I reached the outside doors of the church and instantly felt the vibrations coming from the amps. I heard the drums being pounded on and the crash cymbals ringing at an unknown decibel.

The first band to open was Seventh Appeal. An alternative rock, all-girl band from Winnipeg. It was actually quite refreshing to hear a female band play. The vocals needed a little work during the beginning, but after the singer got her voice warmed up. She was up to par. The music and flow was great. The band played a few covers from Three Days Grace, The Used, and Billy Talent.

The next band to play was Gates, a hardcore rock group from Winnipeg. They totally blew the audience away with their fast pace music and screaming vocals. A group of fans were really into their music and started head banging along to their songs. Although the music isn't my type, the band played well as a group.

(Sorry, I couldn't find a video for this group)

Lastly, the headlining band: Panic Land took the stage. I am really impressed by this band every time I see them live. They write their own songs and write their own music. They have surpassed my expectations for a local unsigned band. The group puts together quite an entertaining performance with their energetic pop punk power chords and melodic vocals. The stage presence is there and they really come together as a band.

Hello to all you readers. (How ever many that may be)

I have an announcement to make: I've become a Twitter user. I am still not fond of using Twitter because I find it odd. It's an oddity I say, an oddity! But I will eventually get use to using all these Twittering things.

Ever since Facebook exploded into the web scene in 2004. Other social networking sites have become abandoned, well, maybe not "abandoned" but they aren't as popular as they once were. I know myself that I haven't updated a single blog entry on Myspace. When Facebook became the new rave, I swore to myself that I wouldn't get a Facebook. I really hated social networking sites. Then ironically enough, after a load of peer pressure in high school. I got a Facebook. Dun dun dun.....

Shortly after Twitter came into the scene. I encountered more peer pressure. But I had good resistance and didn't fall into the trap in setting up an account.

Until one day...I gave in and made an account but I NEVER used it.

So with all these social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Tumblr, Nexopia, Bebo etc, etc. Which social networking site do you prefer using?

I personally use Facebook the most to keep in touch with my friends and family members, and I look to Myspace for mostly musical oriented things and the rest of the social networking world...I don't know what the heck they are.

Follow me on Twitter! @whats3rname

I'm out.
