First of I would love to wish my American watchers a very happy and safe Fourth of July!
I know things are different this year with what's going on and such. (I'm still bummed about not getting to do stuff for Canada Day T-T) Hope you guys try to make the best of it though. (was really planning on saying this in my previous upload for Canada Day if I had gotten done in time so no bias here..... okay maybe a little) I'd like to point out my avatar is supposed to look like a thinking emoji, not a disappointed Asian father, about to take out the wooden spoon after seeing his kid's all C report card.... Anyway enough of me rambling on. So there are many things I do and like and whatnot that I wonder if a lot of other people, or anyone else does as well.

Laughing to the tune of whatever song I'm listening to is one thing. This is something I noticed sometime back in February or March of this year. I was listening to music and sharing dank memes with my friend from Davao, while listening to music and I started laughing at a few memes she sent me. I was listening to some fast pace KPop song (Probably a song from Twice or Red Velvet) and I noticed I was laughing in tune with it. I didn't think much of it because I thought it was just me enjoying the song and such. It happened a few times a while after, with Mr Brightside, a bunch of SilvaGunner remixes, Dead by MCR and other Kpop songs. That's when I realized it. If I laugh when listening to music I somehow laugh in sync with the beat of whatever song I'm listening to. Realizing this made me laugh even more while still listening to music, and noticing it just kept me going. That was one crazy night I'll tell y'all that! I really hope I'm not the only one who does this cause it's just really fun to notice when it happens.

Road trips are pretty boring right? Being stuck in a car for several hours driving past nothing but flatland fields, or twisting through endless seas of pine tries. I am not a big fan of road trips for the most part. I'd prefer to take the 1 hour flight to Calgary than do the drive from Vancouver. But when I do end up doing the road trip I love to use the music I'm listening to to create music videos in my head, or imagining some really interesting crap going on outside the car. (I don't do this while I'm the one driving)
Sometimes it's an eagle soaring and dodging things, sometimes it's my rp self and other people and characters invovled running or whatever beside the car while battling it out with aliens, demons, etc. ( MISF0RTUNATE I'm tagging you here cause why not) I also like to imagine scenarios of ideal goals and myself living them out. That's sorta how I keep myself motivated to do things in general. Another thing I like to do while riding in the car, or on the bus or even when I'm driving is check out the license plates of the cars around me. I love to just check them out to spot out of province license plates. I live near the US border, so it's not uncommon to spot Washington state drivers in the sea of our Beautiful British Columbia played cars. I'm surprised that I often see more from Alberta red plates than Washington's mountain plates. (Even now with less people coming here to travel I still see so many) It's even more exciting to see the ones from places much further away from the neighbouring jurisdictions. It's nice to see drivers from Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Texas, Yukon, Florida, NY, California, Oregon etc around. I guess sometimes it's why I like to hang around touristy spots, and hotels since that's where I'll be able to see lots of out of province plates. I don't know what started this fascination, but I think it has something to do with how many places I've travelled to by car. I've been on a number of road trips that go through one or more states or provinces. My most recent multi state trip was a drive down to San Francisco, that crosses through Washington and Oregon before getting to California. I think the most interesting license plate I've seen show up around Vancouver was one from Mexico. I don't know where in Mexico it was from, but was mainly blue. License plates are fun to spot. If I ever have kids, I would like to make it into a fun little game with them.

Whenever I'm eating I love to watch things that involve food as well, especially if the food is the same or very similar to what I'm eating. If I'm eating ramen I'll watch something where someone/people are eating ramen. I lowkey embarassed by this, but to my it makes me enjoy my food more, when I am watching a show or video or something where others are enjoying the same or similar food. This isn't always the case though. As a kid I used to love eating whatever while watching long eating scenes in shows like Spongebob. That whole fire roasting scene in the episode Spongebob BC, or that one picnic table scene in Club Spongebob. Those scenes always made me hungry and it always made me enjoy my food better while watching those scenes while shoveling down a bowl of rice with meat and vegetables. It also kinda depends what food is being eaten as well. If the characters are eating sweets and I'm eating savory foods, then it would not sync well. (and vice versa) If I'm eating a bunch of chocolate nonstop I sometimes like to watch gameplays of the Simpsons Game level Land of Chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm characters enjoying foooooooooood

Just a heads up I do not condone any of what I did at the time!
Back in high school, if I ever got in trouble whether by a substitute teacher, or someone in the hall catches me doong whatever, I would pretend to not be able to speak english. Being form a Chinese background with knowing enough mandarin to pretend not to know English this was something that worked a fraction of the time, as long as the person catching me was also not fluent in mandarin. If there's one thing I learned from going to saturday mandarin school. The worst time I've done it and got away with it was with a a transit security officer, when I evaded the fair. I had left my wallet at home earlier in the day and so was on my way back home from summer school. I hopped the Skytrain(the above ground metro system we have in Vancouver) without paying the fair for one stop and by bad luck, the transit security were checking random people getting off the trains. I don't remember what the guy's ethnicity was, but I managed to pull off the fake name and "I don't speak english" excuse, and did it well enough for the guy to not want to try to deal with me, so he let me go. Not really proud of that moment, but I did not want to get fined for just a one stop trip so I wanted to do whatever to get out of that situation. I never did say "I don't speak english" in english. I just repeated it in mandarin nonstop. Also for some background, a few years ago the Skytrain did not have fair gates at its stations, so anyone could just walk on and not pay the fairs, which was actually a very common thing that happened until they updated the system with card tap gates.

There's still lots of stuff I haven't mentioned here but I will probably do in a follow up or part 2 upload, so for now, see yas later m8s
