valentines day?

Everyone kind of celebrates Valentine’s Day. They say it’s the day of “love” or something. For me, that day is the same as any other day. For me, it’s Single Awareness Day. (SAD). On that day, everyone who is single is completely aware that they are single because of all the PDA on Valentine’s Day… I mean, is it really such a special day? Who in the world said, “Hmm… February 14^th is going to be the day where all the single people are going to be singled out! What I really mean is, if you really love someone, shouldn’t everyday be Valentine’s Day? Why does it have to be this day? Kbai.

Happy Chinese Newyear!

Happy Chinese Newyear!!! It's the year of the snake, hope you guys have a great day for the beginning of this chinese newyear.

that was supposed to say 2013, but to me it kind of looks like love?


so basically for the newyears  what i did was watch some asian CCTV and saw the random performances. it was really because i saw an old lady stick her hand up a puppet's butt and act like a ventriloquist. also there were a bunch of futuristic holograms...

hope you guys have a great newyears!

seat changes

do you guys like seat changes?
i'm always really excited about them because i get a little tired of my seat partners, but it really sucks when you have those teachers that always pair you up with complete strangers, idiots, creepy people, or a whole combination of them all.
i don't know how there are always those kids that are lucky every time and get to sit with their best friends or cool person.
we are going to have a seat change in chinese sometime this week and i hope that i get some nice people...
i guess i would be okay with anyone in that class because we all have bonded by enduring the craziness of that teacher.

found another one of these awkward penguins and this is so true, it happens every time to me

Strange allergies

at lunch today, we got into a discussion on allergies; people were talking about chocolate, cheese, and all those other things.
my allergy is that i am allergic to hypoallergenic lotions...this cause some people (ahem sena and kevin) to laugh. but i swear this is true! once i tried this so called "hypoallergenic" lotion and my skin turned red.

this made me think of other strange allergies:
here's a thought for today:
what would happen if a person was allergic to water?
 i feel like this would mean they were/are aliens who have come to eat us alive!
here now look at some cat pictures

i actually did some research (:
and i found that there are some people who are allergic to cold air and water. does this mean they can never go swimming or have a glass of ice?
this guy in the picture is too dramatic: going in the water with clothes on?

there are also people who are allergic to shoes, or at least leather shoes. i find this kind of sad, not being able to wear a certain type of shoe):

MORE YOUTUBE MUSIC.

hi guys! long time no post from me. im still trying to come up with some new original material, so hopefully there will be more posts coming soon. my new year's hopes for the blog is to hit at least 1000 views by our 1 year anniversary of this blog, and for more posts (diys possibly?) and hopefully a blogging schedule. but until then, you'll have to put up with my mediocre posts for now. 

so for christmas i got a ukulele! which i really wanted and i was insanely happy when i recieved one. i found it was really easy to learn (i basically learned it in a day.) and so once i got the hang of some basic chords i started to go find songs to play. and so i watched a ton of different covers of ukulele people on youtube and found some new musicians i like. 

so this kid named JD (jdviolinboy) is pretty much the most insanely talented and adorable 9 year old on youtube. i found him when i was learning ho hey by the lumineers (heres his cover.), and then i started to look at his other videos and wow. this kid is awesome. he plays violin, ukulele, piano, and can sing, rap, and beatbox. and harmonize and use loops. not to mention he has great music taste for a 9 year old. (his favorite band is IMAGINE DRAGONS. :) and he has even sang with them! ) i hope he goes really far in music and keeps making videos.

anyways here's some of his videos! go check his stuff out. 

another person that is probably now by favorite british youtube singer is Dodie Clark or doddleoddle.  she is just an amazing beautiful person with a beautiful voice, not to mention a super cute little sister who she sometimes sings with. she also plays ukulele of course. her covers and original songs are all so amazing and her song a permanent hug from you is just cuteness overload in the lyrics (im learning it right now.) so go check her out too because she's so sweet. 

anyways i hope enjoyed these people too and if you have more people you would like me to feature, as always  COMMENT. 

♥, sena

How to be Socially Awkward

here is a guide to one of the most never asked question: how do you be socially awkward?

step 1:
EYE CONTACT,  be creepy and use some aggressive eye contact. whenever talking to someone, stare them down! Remember, try not to blink and just keep staring. If that is not what you want to do, never look people in the eye, just stare at the ground and avert your eyes at all costs. basically you just have to try to communicate while staring at the ground, making weird faces at the same time will also add to the awkwardness. IF you are up for the biggest challenge, do both: stare at them for a while, then begin looking at the ground and at the same time remember to smile really hard, so hard that you will look like a crazy clown.

step 2:
CLOTHES, make sure you wear long pants that are too short and show your socks when you sit down. Also fold them at different lengths that are not extremely noticeable that it looks intentional, but to the point where others think you were trying to fold your cuffs evenly, but failed in doing so. To take it up to another level, grease up your hair into a style i like to call "the eugene" a diagram of that is down below:
 Girls on the other hand, pull your hair out with your hands, twist it and then start madly spraying with hairspray until you get the above look.

step 3:
PRIVACY, who needs personal privacy? absolutely no one! invade people's personal space as often as possible: poke people with your pencils and juice boxes! also, never stand less than 2 inches away from someone. also whisper in their ear questions like:" how's my smell?" this will give you the extreme awkwardness you have been dreaming about your whole life!

step 4:
RANDOM, in the middle of a conversation say something totally out of the blue and say something like " i can fly!" and start bobbing your head like a chicken. remember, this does not work with close friends, only do this to complete strangers so that the awkwardness is complete.

step 5:
INTERRUPT, in a conversation, instantaneously start coughing every moment you have. clear your voice as if you have something to say, but don't say a thing at all. if you do want to talk, remember to never let anyone finish their sentence. id you do not want to be too over the top, just start mumbling something and when they ask you what you just said, say it doesn't really matter anymore...

step 6:
LOOK UNCOMFORTABLE, always look uncomfortable like you are about to barf or sneeze so that people are always horridly anticipating what you might soon do.

trust me, if you follow this guide, you will become the most socially awkward person society has ever known.

do you wake up or open your eyes first?

Dat Apocalypse.

{note from sena and angela: sorry about the lack of content recently... we're kind of in a       brain freeze on stuff to write about. but today we have a post from our guest blogger, mark! happy new year's guys!} 

So I was wondering… with all this bath salts and zombie stuff happening, what would happen in a real apocalypse? I would have to bring many things on my EPIC JOURNEY OF AWESOMETACULAR but there are three that really step out. Without further notice, here are my top three things I would bring in an apocalypse :D.

1) I would probably bring toilet paper. I mean, if you’re out in the wild, you would probably want some toilet paper, especially with no toilets what so ever. I wouldn’t wipe it on my hand O_-. What would you use if you were taking a dump and had no toilet paper?

2) I would bring a bunch of hot pockets. They are the best food in survival!!! If you’re hungry, just pop in some hot pockets and eat. No need for cooking and adding all that spice and flavor. MSG will be your friend in the apocalypse.

3) A backpack. I mean, how are you gonna store all that toilet paper and all those hot pockets. Why carry them around with your hands when you can use your backpack to carry everything?

Even though these are my top three useless things I would bring during an apocalypse, there are still many things to worry about like water, resources, survival, and much much moar. But you better bring your toilet paper or else your hand might turn brown. Happy Late New Years everyone!!!

Christmas Eve!!!

this is a clog:
now lets get to the story (:
its original ;0
twas the night before Christmas and all through the blog,
there were two people blogging about Christmas and a clog.
the stockings were posted, as a picture after this
because this rhymer wanted readers to feel bliss

the readers were comfty snug in their chairs
as visions of thisismebeingclever danced in their heads.
and angela who was typing this poem ran out of rhymes
she soon gave up and with a fright,
wrote"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"


hope you guys enjoyed that little, cheesy, and totally improvised poem (:

anyways, its christmas eve and hope you people reading this out there are having fun.

chirstmas eve is the time where those people like myself, go and buy presents for people at last minutes notice. it is a pretty sad sight when you see a bunch of other people doing the same as well.
but really, the extreme last minute people are those who come to the party, leave to go to the bathroom for a bit, but are actually running to the store to get some gifts...
i'm not even sure if any of that made sense... Have a great xmas eve everyone!!!

An Asian New Year

so if you even remember, we had a guest blogger, rohit. well, that was...sucessful....(no...) so we've temporarily brought in a new guest blogger, which is our friend mark! so here's his post! 

Hello! My name is Mark and I shall be a guest blogger on This Is Me Being Clever. Since this blog consists of mostly girls I shall bring my own guy perspective :). Anyways, let’s get started!

Every year, New Year’s means a lot of preparation for us Asians. The worst part of New Year’s preparations is the relative dinner. It’s basically an Asian tradition that all relatives go to one dim sum place. It’s basically like a game. Since there are like thirty people there, no one wants to pay the bill. You want to avoid the bill at all costs. I’m here to teach you how to shield yourself from you piggy bank turning into a skinny little pork chop.

When it is time to pay the bill, ask to go to the bathroom. Say you’re taking a gigantic steaming dump. If you do that, people aren’t going to argue with you, since you’ve gained like… 30 pounds of food in your stomach. To make sure people won’t ask you to pay the bill, you have to act as if it’s urgent. The bad part is that they’ll probably just wait for you… since they are Asians of course.

Another tactic is to blame the person next to you for not paying for the last five thousand dim sum dinners. If that happens, your relatives will strike into an argument and you can sneak away when nobody notices. :)

If all else fails, there is only one strategy left for you to use. Just pay the bill. After all, you only see your relatives on New Year’s. Just have a good time and happy holidays. :D

HOME ALONE.

fact:home alone is the best holiday movie ever. it is classic, funny, filled with christmas-y happiness (but you can enjoy it even if you celebrate a different holiday) . it's a movie that is worthy of watching over and over again with family or friends, basically anyone. 

here are 10 reasons why it is so good and some fun facts about home alone. 

1. it inspires kids to be brave like kevin, and to be able to save themselves if the bad guys attack. you can learn how to use everyday toys and objects to make the most simple yet complex rube goldberg-style trap so that robbers can't attack them. well, it at least made kids think they would be able to  be prepared for a invasion-type situation and that they can outsmart all the burglars of the world. seriously why do i not have firecrackers in my kitchen?!

2. john hughes (!!!!!!!!!!!!) wrote the movie, and the music is done by john williams. (!!!) 

3. macaulay culkin was a really good convincing child actor until he became weird. I MEAN WEIRD. 

4. the picture of the girl that kevin finds in buzz's room is actually a boy made to look like a girl. they didnt want to offend anyone so they did some editing magic. "buzz, your girlfriend! woof!" 

5. it's got ton of production quality stuff! did you know that the movie in the movie (movieception) "angels with filthy souls" and "angels with filthier souls" from the second home alone are both FAKE, made for the movie, films. somebody give them an oscar now! also the talkboy device kevin uses, was a prop, but due to high demand it was an actual product for a little while. 

6. it is QUOTABLE. "keep the change ya filthy animal", "i don't know how to pack a suit case, i've never done this in my entire life!" "how am i supposed to shave in france?! GROW A GOATEE." and of course the very long   :" I took a shower washing every body part with actual soap; including all my major crevices; including inbetween my toes and in my belly button, which I never did before but sort of enjoyed. I washed my hair with adult formula shampoo and used cream rinse for that just-washed shine. I can't seem to find my toothbrush, so I'll pick one up when I go out today. Other than that, I'm in good shape."

7. you must get all the essentials. milk, eggs, and fabric softener. and an american dental association approved toothbrush. 

8. fuller is kevin mcallisters real life brother. just thought you should know. 

8. never let a teen girl count heads for a large family gathering. you will lose a person and it will not make you feel better if someone else forgot their reading glasses. 

9. no calling cards. wet bandits? NO. sticky bandits. NO. just don't become a burglar, okay?

10. it teaches you that it is a good idea to keep string, cardboard cutouts, and music around your house. those jonas brother cutouts you've been concealing in your closet might come in handy if you need to throw a fake holiday party.. and don't keep your christmas lights on a timer. 

well that's all for now. don't let tarantulas loose, keep away from creeps that our burglars, and the creepy old guy down the street just might be your friend. 

love, sena. 

comment any other movies you would like us to do this for! what are your favorite holiday movies to watch?  

holiday cookies ;)

its that time of year where you take out the cookie dough and start turning the oven on.
you're probably thinking of making cookies, however from personal experience, it isn't always a good thing....
one time i was making some cookies, and they they started burning...and then the whole house was up in flames...ok that was a little exaggeration, but they always end up looking a little something like this:
sena tells me to include her sad experience of walking with a bag of flour and spilling it all over the floor/kitchen thus creating indoor snow!!!
but if you are deciding to make some cookies and have a bunch of failed attempts, DO NOT GIVE UP!
after falling a bunch of times, do you give up walking? NO! you get up and start walking again, maybe even start dancing and doing double dreamhands :)
that was kindof off topic, but in the end holiday cookies usually turn out really good.but if you're really lazy you could always buy some from the store??

get christmas-y.

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMALS!  PSYCH, YOU'RE ALL DYING ON DECEMBER 21st SO ENJOY THE APOCALYPSE! 

just kidding, like anyone is going to die.. what happens to the people who actually think the world is ending? are they going to stay underground thinking their the sole survivors of the earth? and then eventually form the district 13 of the hunger games in the future.... yeah that won't happen right?!  

so anyways it is a WEEK until christmas, snow actually fell from the sky for like 2 seconds, and it's time to get into that holiday spirit, so we've changed our background to some holly, and you'll be getting posts on holiday movies, HOME ALONE, diy gift ideas, etc. 

angela kind of kickstarted it off yesterday so i'm just going to share some free computer wallpapers. 


here is a bunch of cute holiday wallpapers from west elm that anyone can use for their facebook,phone, ipad, or computer.

xmas

 WARNING THIS BLOG POST HAS RIDICULOUSLY LAME JOKES AND IS MEISLEADING SINCE THERE IS A RANDOM PIC OF MUPPETS WHEN THERE WILL BE NOTHING INVOLVING MUPPETS TODAY.
before getting to the holiday songs, i just wanted to share some cheesy jokes.this holiday season, i will be giving you the gift to give people a smile on their face :D
What hats do snowmen wear? Ice caps.
Why was Santa's little helper feeling depressed? He had low elf-esteem.
What do you have in December that you don't have in any other month? The letter D.
What kind of paper likes music?(W)rapping paper.

How do snowmen get around?They ride an icicle.

we all know the traditional songs of christmas:
jingle bells
deck the halls

when you actually pay attention to the words of the songs, they sometimes don't even make sense:
deck the halls: 
Deck the halls with bells of holly
when they say bells, do they mean bells as in " ding dong!" ?
falalalalalalalala Tis the season to be jolly,
this i understand
falalalalalalalala Don we now our gay apparel,

wearing clothes that are gay?falalalalalalalala Toll the ancient Yuletide carol,i nevey even heard of this part... what is a yuletide? falalalalalalalala See the blazing Yule before us,

i do not know what the meaning of yule isfalalalalalalalala Strike the harp and join the chorus.what if i don't have a harp?falalalalalalalala.sigh... oh so many falalalas (:

this christmas season, instead of just singing those well known christmas songs, learn these new creatively amazing christmas songs and impress your family. impress your friends. impress a neighbor. impress a dog. impress a stranger. but most importantly, impress the people who wrote these songs  and random people all over the world (:

thought of the day:

are you naughty or nice?

the word nice used to mean stupid or senseless

 the word naughty used to mean needy

YOUTUBE MUSIC DAY 6

today's sharing is pretty self explanatory and quick because it is way too late, and i nearly forgot this post. so we chose THE MIDNIGHT BEAST for today. which is a british group consisting of its three members, Stefan Abingdon, Andrew Wakely and Ashley Horne.they do comedy songs and parodies. you might have heard of them from their youtube famous parody of tik tok by kesha. ANYWAYS, they are really funny lyrical geniuses and i quite enjoy their songs and videos

here is their latest parody of keshas die young which they have named LIVE FAST DIE OLD. 

im very obsessed and ive memorized basically the first half along with rhett and links christmas sweatz song. 

love sena

youtube music day...5?

as you may have noticed, we are having a music post week on youtube singers.
i don't have much knowledge on youtube singers, ubt one of my favoritesis david choi <3
coincidentally he has the same name of a person i know...ish

i think that this was a really good video for a youtube music video

this song was stuck in my head all summer, and i only knew like 5 words of the lyrics. i guess the tune was catchy... kind of like in a comercial jingle. for example sleep country USA (:
