Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Also known as the day when you can eat a bunch of assorted pastries of various exotic flavors called MOONCAKES!

Looks delicious, doesn't it.

So, being the slightly-disconnected-from-my-heritage-one, I didn't even know that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. But obviously I now do, since I'm writing about it, right? Anyhow, my family and I were invited to one of "those" parties where all the parents gather to drink and talk and laugh and karaoke their hearts out, their mouths molded in a perpetual "O" as if wanting to devour the microphone, which in turn blasts their contrasting high and piercing (women) and booming and low (men) oh-so WORLD-CLASS voices through speakers that are turned just a little too high for my taste (yeah, I know I should have edited that last sentence to be less of a run-on, but some people wanted an update, and at midnight I'm making this as quick as possible). On a related note having perfect pitch is a hard life, really.

The worst part is that I didn't even eat a whole mooncake! Oh, the horror! But the truth of the matter is...



They're not very tasty, in my not-so-humble opinion.
Oh well.

So in lieu of mooncakes, we ate random other oriental foodstuffs such as pork, sticky rice cake, rice, duck, ice cream, rice, and RICE! Nah, I actually didn't eat that much rice. Some other highlights include watching "Scary Movie" (if there's one movie I never want to see again, it's this one), being owned at SSBM, being owned at manhunt, being owned at life-- wait no, that's not right...

Overall, I'd say I had a pretty good time. To sum it all up, here's a brief non-artistic poem from the depths of an insomniac mind, about the gloriously scintillating full moon tonight:

"Untitled"

I rest; I can not sleep

I look; I can not see
anything but

a sky, painted black
clouds, haphazard and grey
but there is also
a luminous sphere
'tis quite blinding, I fear.
Shining light
that it does not own
but nonetheless, bright.
The single ray of radiance
in my world of night.

Please, no comments about my rather melancholy writing style; I'll write something more cheery only when the mood strikes. kkthxbai.

PS: As a side note, I thought I'd mention that starting tomorrow, apparently I'm obliged to update my blog every day of the week. The length of the post is not specified, so no complaining if I write a 2-sentence entry. :D
