Lovely Complex Movie

Am currently finished with the Movie Lovely Complex! Great Movie with really good cast and very likeable main characters.

I would rate it ☆☆☆☆☆
This rating would actually seem a little high if I was rating it in terms of dramas but since it's a short movie with a great cast and cute characters it's hard not to love it!
Would I recommend it? Yes!
 

Teeth Whitening

Everybody always wants to whiten their teeth, I mean who doesn't want beautiful white teeth? 
I personally have experience with teeth whitening with results that aren't all that extraordinaire but more of an improvement:

B a k i n g S o d a :

This was something I used to brush my teeth and as many have heard it whitens your teeth, yes it's true! Don't expect your teeth to be extremely white but expect your teeth to be lightened. What I did was floss after every meal and then brush my teeth with whitening toothpaste then use baking soda and after doing this routine over and over again I found my teeth did lighten. I also think Whitening Mouthwash would give it a kick but beware this might be abrasive on your teeth! Chemicals can harm your teeth in the long-run and actually damage your teeth if not used right, just like soda can melt certain metals! Interesting enough I am currently trying out teeth pulling!




O i l P u l l i n g :
I am currently trying this and I will come back months later to address how well this worked!
What is it? Oil Pulling sounds weird doesn't it? Oil pulling is actually using coconut oil and swishing it in your mouth (DO NOT SWALLOW IT)as if it were a mouthwash (can actually be used instead of a mouthwash) for about 20 minutes and then spitting it out in a trash can, you don't want to spit or put oil in your sink because it's not good for your water pipes! Afterwards you can use baking soda to brush your teeth again to get rid of the taste! This has a couple positive benefits:

• Helps with bleeding gums
• It whitens teeth in the long-run
• It helps with congestion
• It helps with allergies
• It helps you breathe a little better

What it actually does? When you swish it around in your mouth for 20 minutes it's actually collecting plaque, bacteria, food, etc., etc., The oil thickens as well because of what it's collecting so it's very different after you spit it out!

Where can you buy coconut oil? It seems hard to find coconut oil in your local store but believe me you can buy it if you know where they sell it, you can find it online X or if you rather find it at a nearby store you can probably find it at Costco for a great quantity, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, possibly all the big stores that carry a variety of organic products or a variety of foods. Beware Coconut Oil comes in different forms the liquid or the solid either is fine but DO NOT buy coconut oil that is not edible or coconut oil that is meant to be for different purposes! The solid of Coconut Oil can be dissolves in heat and becomes a liquid so either the liquid or the solid is fine. 

Buzzer Beat

___________________________________

Currently: Unfinished Drama - Episode 7

 

I am currently watching eps 1-6 of Buzzer Beat and I know this show has a manga to it as well as many other Jdramas but since I have not read the manga or have any idea of what the plot or story is originally supposed to be like I will have to judge this based on no knowledge of a past creation. Overall  while I watched this drama on eps 1-3 I thought this drama could be really good and has a lot of potential to be very addicting but if there is anything that made this drama a little disappointing (judging in my personal taste for dramas) it's that I absolutely hate when the female character starts liking the main character not long after getting to know him. These are the cliche parts I usually hate in dramas because I dread and I mean I DREAD seeing the female character crying and being sad for many episodes until she get's the guy she wants. I'm hoping as the show goes on the put in more fun scenes like the beach scenes those are the little things that give this show a more addicting feeling.

 I'm afraid it's already leading towards what I honestly don't like about a lot of dramas and what I mean it's the female character crying feeling sorry for herself because she loves someone. Here she tries to kiss him while I'm still confused about how she started liking him it didn't go as smoothly to have this character like him in a snap of fingers. She says she can't control her feelings and that they crossed the line; I'm afraid so, but it's her who has crossed it not necessarily him.

                           

 She was already thinking around episode 3 if she liked him or not knowing he had someone in his life. When she heard him crying on the phone on episode 5 she ran all the way to him which I honestly didn't ever get the vibe she liked him enough to go all night long to see why he was crying. The reason he was crying was due to this:

She cheated on him.

Right now, I am hoping that Riko does not spend an episode or two feeling sorry for herself. I am also thinking she could act better. She isn't a bad actress but she doesn't come off as an important character to me; how do I explain, she needs more personality.

Meteor Garden Thoughts

           Let me start by saying I have watched Boys Over Flowers first, then watched Hana Yori Dango, then almost finished watching Hana Yori Dango the Anime, and am now in Season 2 Ep 25 of Meteor Garden. The reason I stopped watching Hana Yori Dango the Anime was because I have always loved and love the second lead Hanazawa Rui/ Ji Hoo ripping my heart out as the second lead, but I did not like how in the Anime he went with the girl whom was a model and fiancee to some French guy (I really don't remember her name). That really ruined the rest of the story for me so I definitely stopped watching it.

            I finally came around watching Meteor Garden and yes I was on board both the Daoming Si with Shan Cai or the Hazue Lei with Shan Cai story. I honestly had trouble during the first season getting into Meteor Garden because I am used to either listening to the Korean or Japanese language so I believe I was listening to the Chinese(?) language since I recall the F4 making fun of Dao Ming Si's Chinese, I am not all that positive which language it was but getting to the main point it's kinda a little harder to adapt like when I first watched my first drama, it's a different culture. That made it a little harder to adapt to the drama and also the fact that it's older, (believe it or not) the fashion, the definition, and also some parts could have been a bit more exciting during the first season. I am on episode 25 Season 2 of Meteor Garden and I look back at season 1 and can't remember the special parts which I can remember in the Korean or Japanese version (regardless of which I prefer) like when she punches Dao Ming Si, or when they first bully her, or when they dress her up nice. Those parts and the other parts could have definitely been more memorable! 

              Season 2 was definitely more memorable and I hate to say it; ok no, you'll hate to read it but I prefer Dao Ming Si with Ye Sha, Sorry! They are much more adorable and there's a point where I started getting real annoyed with Shan Cai! I believe I got annoyed with Shan Cai when she had first said something along the lines of "What if my love isn't 1/10th of your love" and that's what it started feeling like! When she supposedly actually loved Dao Ming Si she got annoying I was getting more and more annoyed with the change in Shan Cai's character as she grew more attached to Dao Ming Si! I think it was around ep 19 of Season 1 she was gradually annoying me, don't get me wrong Dao Ming Si was perfect knowing what his heart was capable of! I could care less how some people side with Shan Cai! I started feeling she didn't deserve Dao Ming Si as the story progressed and I kept seeing how perfect this guy was! I can't hate Ye Sha she has a personality that matches well with the charm of Dao Ming Si and made me biased towards her and was more fun than Shan Cai.

I didn't expect for Season 2 to be anymore different or memorable but I was completely wrong I prefer Ye Sha and Dao Ming Si's story of the Dao Ming Si who lost memory of his bad past and is saved by Ye Sha in Spain where she brought him out of his mind's limits and helped him construct a life where they live growing an innocent love for each other even with the obstacles! These two make a really good couple and as Season 2 developed I started leaning all the way towards this couple that I even forgot about Lei! Ye Sha is adorable and has a personality that did nothing to annoy me and Dao Ming Si definitely was perfect for her! It was the little things that made them really cute together specially the innocence, story, and things like the coconuts the Ye Sha star and also the drawings! This could have been another story, I have yet to read the manga but I definitely think this story drifted! I definitely thought at a point, screw the original story line put these two together! I promise if you watch the Second Season before the first you'll know why I say this!

 Brazil 1 - Germany 7:                     

 Probably the most unexpected result of the whole World Cup. The game itself was not as exiting or as dramatic as it seemed it was more like a soft goal after another soft goal while Brazilian fans cried quietly on the stands💧. I was in shock and more in shock because Germany plays really soft, if the game was fast and dramatic I would have felt more believable. As the game kept going on everyone wished this game would be just done and over with. Germany obviously played well they were very organized and clean at playing no dirty tricks which is what I respect, that they were playing clean. Brazil, well Brazil I believe was playing really unorganized and a little dirty at one point as the time slipped and since Germany was playing soft I don't know when it hit them how many goals Germany was putting in, I believe they were playing a little better at one point but all their goals were rejected by the goalkeeper or missed shots! Brazil's first and last goal was their dignity goal made in the last minutes of the game. I will be honest I wanted the game to end because it was a little hard watching Brazil go down like this. Memorable: the 7 goals and the dignity  goal, the fans crying on the stands.

Brazil 3 - Chile 2 :

Wow, this was probably one of the most exiting and nerve wrecking games! I preferred if Chile had won, they played so well. They tied 2-2 went then went to the most nerve wrecking penalties in this World Cup. If the Chilean player would have made the last penalty they would have gone to round 2 of penalties. It was a tight game. I was nervous for Chile and I think a little crushed along with the Chileans when Brazil was saved by the last penalty. Such a tight game only to be lost dramatically by the last penalty hitting the post of the goal, I will always remember this game.
Memorable: "El Palo de Pinilla" which was supposed to be Pinilla's goal and of course the last penalty ending this game dramatically.

  
Brazil 0 - Mexico 0

 Exiting game, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time nervous, extremely nervous! I believe this was the best 0-0 game in the World Cup. The whole time I would say it was even with Brazil dominating the first half and Mexico the second half, they could have easily both scored goals well not for Brazil. The fans were great and even though there were quite a lot of Brazilians on the stadium Mexico definitely was loud. The atmosphere seemed nice and made the game all that more interesting and dramatic! Beautiful game I will never forget the amazing saves Memo Ochoa made!
Memo-rable (Pun): If the Memo-rable doesn't say it I don't know what does! Memo Ochoa made 6 saves against Brazil it's not so important how many saves he made but the fact that he stopped some of the hardest rejected goals ever! He stopped Neymar's headbutt and a couple other goals that were extremely difficult due to how the ball was kicked in speed and how close it was to the goal!

World Cup 2014 Rant - Latin Americans and Their Ignorance Towards Argentinians

Argentina, today lost against Germany and I thought about how unfair it is that a lot of latin americans chose to not support Argentina and when I say not support Argentina I mean support Germany and wish the worst to Argentina. 
Is it rivarly? ignorance?
I think it's a bit of both but mainly leaning towards ignorance but I wish it was just rivalry. I don't mean to sound like a hypocrite but I don't get why Latin Americans can't just be as a family with each other and support each other instead of getting into ignorant ideas about a whole country.
The reason a lot of Mexicans, Brazilians, and latinos in general basically have a negative generalization about Argentinians is because they never met any, a lot of latin americans get the idea through the internet that Argentinians treat everyone else in latin america like garbage and see themselves as the superior nationality. 
Where do they get this idea from? I personally can say that as a Spanish- speaker there is a stereotype that Argentinians are racist, think they are of only European decent, narcissist, and think they are superior. I don't know where this stereotype started but I will say that the fact that there is stereotypes built online through countries or people who have not met or taken the time to understand certain customs of our brothers and sisters are ignorant and more than anything obviously not looking to know about them. 
I have seen people saying "Why should I support Argentinians when they laughed at Mexico, Costa Rica, Brazil, Chile, etc.,?" First of all, get out of your computer go meet real people and not just read comments that someone would say in a moment of rivalry, don't build hate and generalizations from a small community of people whom already built the hate and generalizations the same way your are building them. Yes, there is rivalry but if you knew these Latin American countries you would probably love these countries and the Latin American people like you love your people and your country- we have many things in common our language, latin america, and our passionate cultures.
When there are Argentinians who do fit this concept they are mostly always online spamming or trying to put down others you know why? because that's how upset and confused they are fighting over their identity or how badly they want to be recognized as superior that is why they go around trying to convince people when they can't even convince themselves or recognize the reality.
In real life are there people who fit this generalization? Yes, not only in Argentina but in Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, etc., etc,. I have seen my fair share of people from all Latin America claim superiority in the stupidest things and put down other Latin Americans. Honestly, it's stupid. I think it's due to the fact that we are a variety of races /ethnicities where the world is ruled by a lot of European countries in many ways I think this is were the superiority or the wanting to be better behavior or comments come from it's embarrassing.
Yes there are people who fit these stereotypes but don't build hate towards a whole country- even after personal experience I never once turned my back against the USA after seeing how true the ignorance towards football is here and neither did I hate Brazil ever or wish them the worst when they were being arrogant- There is much more ignorance to Latin America and I feel so ashamed when I see my Latin American people generalizing or being ignorant towards their own people if you think there is something wrong with a whole country go look at yourself first- your the problem not a whole country (and that goes to all the people around the world.)
Anyways this World Cup has been great except for my anger towards Robben and the Netherlands and no not speaking of a whole country but their team. 

Why I Have Trouble Rooting For the USA & European Teams

As a Mexican-American chick, shouldn't I have been rooting for both Mexico and the USA in the World Cup? I like many Mexicans and latinos in the USA end up cheering for our parents original place of birth and this is due to a lot of things! I know there are Americans who would get upset over this and probably comment "If you don't cheer for your country then get out" but the thing is a lot of Americans don't understand the reasoning behind supporting a nation that is not the USA! My main reasons along with many other people's reasons are pretty much this:

We love living here! but...... Many latin americans have bad experience with other Americans because of race, ethnicity, and nationality it's common that there is a lot of ignorance regarding cultures which is what differentiates our ways of living in this the USA from other Americans but these different customs trace back to the origin of our culture..... another nation. Loyalty........ How can it be considered wrong to cheer for another nation?
I personally find it harder........ much much harder cheering the team USA for a number of things but mainly because of how uncomfortable it is. It's not the same celebrating with a  group of people who would be considered the actual "Americans" whom (some) have certain ignorance or don't understand other cultures specifically speaking Latin American cultures, the cultures that are carried by teams from where our families come from, the Americans team rivals. Also it's uncomfortable having other people whom identify as American only' ignore or put down their own nationalities and talk down countries whom are the origins of their parents. For example, I have seen Mexican Americans who cheer for the USA and talk badly about Mexico or our team, it's extremely uncomfortable.
Hypocrisy, I find this even more uncomfortable because I experience it more than self hating American fans. More than anything I find it annoying but first, I want to point out the World Cup is not limited to only people who live elsewhere.

Poor Brazil & the Hypocrites

Well the title speaks for itself doesn't it? Poor Brazil. Unexpected loss, I honestly did think Germany had a good chance of winning but not like this.... It's funny when you have to watch the football game through spotty wifi and when it comes back on Germany scores a goal, this happened about 3 times. Literally through the first 2-5 goals I was in shock! Confused. I had no clue what was happening because it was obviously a game that I thought would be won 2-1. I mean I had to slap my self because I couldn't believe it I was more in shock because of the spotty wifi which made it much more of a surprise when I hear the Gooooooooool ! ! ! ! ! ! 

I honestly think this was due to a lot of things: the coach, the missing Neymar and Thiago Silva, mentality throughout the game, only changing two players during the break, missed goals, disorganization, etc., etc., I am still in a bit of a shock and I believe this will be memory to last forever!

World Cup Teams: Should of Stayed & Other Thoughts

I find that the teams that usually stay in this World Cup have divers or don't seem to be putting in all their effort but the ones that I believe should've stayed were Mexico, Chile, Algeria, and maybe even Costa Rica and Colombia.

People might think that I am being biased towards Mexico but I am not (I know my limits) they had everything to keep going they were beating Netherlands and dominating until the unspoken happened... I also felt that some of the best games were against Brazil and latino countries I don't know what it's due to but I feel a more passionate vibe from latino countries. I personally feel that the most amazing games so far were Chile-Brazil (I honestly wanted Chile to win and I believed they had it to go forward). I also thought the other most amazing game was Brazil-Mexico and again it's not that I am being biased but to me these were the most entertaining, I was in the edge of my seat the whole time (I believe that Brazil dominated the first half and the second half Mexico did). A lot of people don't know this but our Memo Ochoa our Goalkeeper also kept Brasil from scoring two other times:
