Kina Grannis

The Goldfish Song? Boo. F1rst.

lol.. i’ll try playing it now

Happy thanksgiving!

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving to you!

… and all those in Kinaland have a Happy Thanksgiving, vacation or a great day, whichever applies ;-)

Happy Stuffing Day!

Have fun at the Turkey Trot!

its a bit hard.. :(.. i’ll keep trying.. love the handturkey drawing.. :D ive forgotten how we were taught to draw the turkey that way in elementary.. awesome. :)

Thanksgiving is not a tradition here in Finland, but I love the idea. Happy thanksgiving to you too, Kina! And to your family and everybody else here!

Btw… I don´t play guitar, but watching these tutorials is always great fun :)

i think i’m gonna take the guitar out again and start playing.

well, happy thanksgiving to you, Kina & your family!
hope your day is awesome.
& yes, have fun at the turkey trot.

i think i speak for everyone here when i say we’re thankful for you too kina (& company)!!

happy thanksgiving kina!

Happy Thanksgiving to you Kina And the whole Grannis family.
also all you Bla(h)gers out there

yay! thanks for the bday shoutout =).
and happy birthday meeks!

happy gobbles everyone! and yea,
shoutout to the turkeys. poor poor delicious turkeys..

@Ray LaMontagne: Ray LaMontagne!? For reals?? I never pegged you for a ‘first’ commenter…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! And thank you Grannis family for providing such a welcoming community here.

Ah right hand technique…why must you be so elusive?

Interesting video. Sad about teeny bear. Has he been missing since the last time you showed us that drawing in his absence? That can’t be good. I suspect it was…Mama G, in the laundry room, with the crowbar. You know how mothers are about old dirty things…

I’d like to wish a happy thanksgiving to all bloggers (us and non-us alike).

Thank you Kina for sharing your music with us, I have only tried using 2 fingers on my pick hand so far, but I will make an attempt at the goldfish song someday soon.

Thank you also for including me in your shoutouts, waiting a whole year for a bday shoutout just seemed an eternity, so thank you and yes you did make my day :))

I’m thinking of getting a cam this weekend so I may make some postings of my own on youtube.

Would you at all be interested in seeing me struggle at one of your songs or covers? I remember you saying in 1 video “if you could only see all the people you were playing for”, it’s not the same but close enough perhaps.

Anyway, if I ever make one I’ll be sure to post it here.

Thank you bloggers for blogging into my life.
Thank you Kina for sharing yours with us.
Thank the turkey for jumping on our plates.
But never, no never thank bill gates.

(not sure where that came from, but its 8am here, cut me some slack :P)

aww I think everyone would agree that we are most definitely thankful for YOU, Miss Kina Grannis! =) thank you for brightening up our weeks, you’re simply marvellous :P

ps. love that tutorial, I’ll probably make a cover for you and post it as a response! hehe hope you’re having a wonderful thanksgiving.. We don’t celebrate it here in Australia BUT we do like.. thanking people.. haha

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

^^V

HAPPY THANKSGIVIG KINA!!!(screams in a womans voice)haha!

Happy Thanksgiving Kina! I am very thankful for you too. Thanks for sharing your music with us and thanks for being such an amazing person.

<3

@ kina do what is your favorite food for thanksgiving?
@ at the granni clan what do you guys like to look forward to at thanksgiving andat the dinner table? peace,love,and all a good night i am out until friday.

Your tutorials are some of my favorite videos. Every time I watch them, I feel like playing right away…although, I don’t have a guitar and I don’t know how to play. lol I can foresee me learning to only play your songs and being happy about it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Kina and the whole Grannis family…and my fellow Street Teamers and everyone else.

And Happy Birthday to Arch and Meeks!

@mojojojo78:
LOL. I had a good laugh at that one, here I am thinking you play guitar… cute.

I have to say watching the videos does the same for me, I am typing with the guitar on my lap and I have had it there since I woke up this morning (I’ve actually played a bit already too, just found out I’m not a morning-guitar-person)

@Alexpham:
We don’t do thanksgiving here (holland), but my absolute fav-meal is the xmas dinner. I am part english and spent most of my xmasss’s in england, and their xmas dinner is probably closest to a thanksgiving dinner we have here.

Big ole turkey, gravy, roast potatoes, stuffing, veggies, trifle.

God life can be good.

@avweije: Dang that is so good so i will be eating for you my friend as an honor for Europeans that dont celebrate thanksgiving though i have ppl from france and germany i wish i had some in Holland though there are many vietnamese people there cause i know some and can you tell me how to say Vietnamese people in Dutch thankyou. And i agree with you life is good haha! And i want Dutch chocalate they are the best!

Seriously i am out now! byebye…

Hey, I just found you on youtube (and since then have found out that I am a year behind anyone else). Will your album make its way to Australia? Will you? Your pretty amazing by the way, I’ll spread the word down under lol.

<3 keep playing :)
Corinne.xx.

oh snap kina. i’m actually playing it. yesssssss this guitar thing ain’t so hard. if i put up a tutorial for one of my songs, will you sing it? haha

cool room. you have nice hands. enjoy your churkeys, everyone.

@Aeglos:

I don’t know, but ‘IN’ the lake seems like a plausible enough site backed up with an unconscious slip of possible spoken fact, swiftly corrected so sheepishly and thus remains highly suspicious! dum dum daaaaaaa

@ all

Yay, Ray LaMontagne’s back, wonders whether he has begun another comment record breaking blahg for us:)

@ kina

I’m thankful that you’ve associated all of us, because placed out of context, that means we’re all your partners now and no longer just lovers of <u3

Bk @ u;) et H bd

@Harold Bareng:

Somehow, I don’t think he can always manage be the 600th one:))

@CLS_LURCH:
Pulls door bell, notes floor shaking, looks up, and up, no up some more and says:-

“Ditto and also 2u:)”

& legs it!

@dro or ryan:

Editing tutorials could be cool posts!
&
I’m adding ‘Seriously’ to your ‘cool bedroom’ statement, minus the bunk beds, of course, but then again, tis good training for advancing to a four poster for whoever gets the bottom and they’re gr8;)

Hey kina. :D
Thanks for the tutorial.
I was wondering if you could view and critique some of my music and videos.
I need some one who will be brutally honest.
I can’t get better if i don’t know what i’m doing wrong. ^_^
Anyways; youtube.com/user/theliamtyler
Thanks if you can help.
It will mean a lot.

@ emi
&
@ misa

Did you get a chance to learn how to play cello from double Tut?
+
Did you get to do any singing/anything on this album?

@ kina
&
@ Dr G

Is the ‘Trots’ something that happens because of having so much Turkey at thankgiving, kind of like a purging? j/k

Anyway, I’d best go mix up/eat some drummoch before I get a migraine as it’s gone 1400hours and I’ve not yet ate and titches latest lot of food was starting to look good to eat:))

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I am thankful for YOU Kina. Thanks for the tutorial. It was a lot easier than I expected. That and you’re just a good teacher. Loved the tree sculpture emi created. soo pretty.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Hey Kina!

Thank you for being being a sweet and caring person, and an awesome artists! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.

I was invited to run the Turkey Trot in Long Beach. I passed on it. Have fun in Dana Point! :D

yay!! happy thanksgiving

kina we are all thankful for you and your super fantastic music
u brought us all together and we have awesome friends all over the world now
so thank you ;)

@sabafa: But is he this Ray LaMontagne??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddX1FOD1Yx4

@Alexpham:

“Vietnamese people” in dutch is “Vietnamese mensen”.

people=mensen, Vietnamese is the same, just pronounced differently, it would be something like this:

The “vietnam” part is similar, then “ese” is “ace-uh”, so “vietnam-ace-uh”

Hope all your thanksgivings are good.

Happy Thanksgiving from your friends up north(you know, the people you blame for the cold weather haha juust kidding!)! Thanksgiving was a while ago for us but I’m still grateful to ALL of you(the granni, fellow bloggers, everyone!). So thanks for being awesome and I hope you have/are having a great thanksgiving. Take care <3

That was a good tutorial for the goldfish song! I knew you had a capo on the 1st fret and I knew the A was tuned to something different, but I didn’t know what exact note it was. Yay, now I can play it the way it’s suppose to be played.

have a good thanksgiving

happy thanksgiving to you kina and your family from your fan down here in texas jess! =] haha i hope you have a great day!
happy thanksgiving to all the other kina fans, =] i hope you guys have a wonderful day =]
<3
Jess

hey kina would you post what notes you play on the piano for the goldfish song?

Happy Gobble Gobble Day!!! =)

I am at my cousins for thanksgiving and we r doing kareoke and I wish the grannis daughters were here :) they would tear it up LOL does the grannis household do kareoke together??? LOL I bet kina scores really high. Our kareoke scores us btw LOL

@sabafa:

@arch really!

Ha-Ha, somehow the @arch bit didn’t happen for the link that this is linked to:/

@Kina/family

I’ve just been watching Kina’s Realize cover, and after all this time, it has only just occurred to me to ask what caused the camera to fall, was it a camera attacking snail like had happened to mine?

I think that might have happened because that notoriously over amarous snail fancied his chances with the one he’d spotted in the lens, ie his own reflection!

Oh, if one first finds/plays Kina’s latest video within the blahg, does that then stop the subscription one from being sent, as I still haven’t received it, although I’ve now got one in a new playlist anyway, but something’s amiss, somewhere along the line!

@sabafa been having the same thing happen here most recent vids not showing up in subscription

Yey Teacher Kina! Thank you for showing us your room, I love all the artwork by the talented Misses (is that plural for Miss? I hope so) Grannis. I hope you are enjoying your time at home with the family. :)

@CLS_LURCH:

Thanks for sharing that with me CLS_LURCH, sickening though it is to hear of others also having computer/You Tube problems! I’ve been having that much trouble within my site again that I (and I am being serious) almost deleted my account again a few times since this video was posted and I would have done without hesitation if I only held subscriptions, but I have have lost friends through deleting previous accounts and have been blessed to have kept some over and over again, some have done that until this account had been opened and either haven’t got around to pal up again or have now had enough – if the latter is the case, I don’t blame them, I’ve long ago had more than enough of all the computer strife! A smidgen of the woes being faced can be viewed on my channel, which can be got to by clicking upon the blue link above this text, to be honest though, I think many of the problems are Windows Internet Explorer/Microsoft based!

May computer peace settle upon us before we settle in the ground and get the Heaven issue perfect one for gratis!

Anyway, after reading this, I bet you’d rather I’d only played the good old Thunder and Lighting game at your door earlier on, so don’t bother getting up, I’ll close the door on my way out of here;))

B A N G

thankful for:

- toilet paper in a public toilet

Hi kination ppl!!!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and some time to rest and visit with family and friends. I have a special thanks to all of you for the warmth and friendship you all give to me and to each other.

Also, I am deeply touched by the good wishes from those of you from other countries. You won’t ever know how much it means to us! Holland, France, the UK, Canada . . . we are thankful for your friendship and a chance to learn about you and your traditions.

Well, I am back after an “unplugged” thanksgiving and of course, the first place for me to visit was right here. So happy happy happy one and all.

welcome back everyone who celebrated! I hope all is well and you’re not too bloated from all the food ;).

@thuff7 – you’re welcome. After all, we ARE like one big family here :D

@thuff7:

welcome back big guy!

YEAH the week-end gang is here!!!!lol

@maryanne:

Thanks, maryanne. Indeed. How are things up there? Anything special for the weekend?

@newbster:

Hiya, Newbie!! How was your Thanksgiving?? Have fun with family?

@thuff7

yo dudee your back!!! yay now we can get the blog/forum hoppin again!!! kination FTW

@Harold Bareng:

I seriously don’t know, I’d like it to be though, but with no link to prove otherwise, I guess we’ll just have to hope that that commenter would like to prove it to us someday, we’re friendly enough, so maybe it will happen, especially if it is him as it might reap more album sales, etc for him and hopefully some colabs with Kina too8D It might turn out to be an elabaroute hoax by thuff7 to get me back through getting me first and savouring a lengthy stalk/kill because I got him imbetween times:/ay\: does that even dare to compute:? Could even be the Kina/MamaG partnership working away at some mischieveousness level of cookieness, afterall, they’ve both been missing in action a lot and the image has been missing too at times, but it’s all good:) and no TROUBLE:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpD97p7qGzs

@Anonymous: Y not look at the octave and use ears and fingers to guess it till answered, as I’m not so sure that Kina has ever undergone working towards any grades prior and I doubt she has the time nowadays!

@confused newbie: wow i am touched im first on the list haha!!!! =)

@thuff7: how was the trip o i got myself a new camera! yay!!!

@evann: hey wat abot me i want to be apart o wait i think i am haha!:D

@avweije: thx for the lesson awesome just give a tidbit here and there i will visit holland nxt summer k?

To all my thanksgiving was awesome food family and all it needed was a cool KINA CONCERT! down in the OC so yea in Fullerton chilling and today went shopping at three malls South Coast Plaza, Westminster, and the Irvine Spectrum. =) HAPPY NERDY,Geeky blackFriday! =) seriously i totally nerded out today waking up at 5am and getting great deals now i will be back soon shall eat and say adieu to my grandparents cause they are going to Vietnam and won’t come back after Christmas. =(

@Alexpham:

yessir you are deffinatly a kination member–we all are!!
how was ur thanksgiving?

@thuff7:

Oh and of course, last but not least, FinnFan from the great Nordic Republic of Finland! Thanks for your good wishes. I hope all is well on your side of the Atlantic!!

We clearly have some “House” episodes to discuss!!

@confused newbie:

Aw shucks, thank you nubs, 2u2:)

Goldfish Song transcribed for iPhone Ocarina! I couldn’t get it perfect, don’t beat me up!

@Windscale:

Oo that so better hadn’t be a sneaky silent bid for Kina’s black Tak that might not even be up for grabs yet:P but in the interest of camaraderie for a selfish cause, I’m not adverse to you doing a run with her and bringing it back over for me;))

Thanks Kina for the tutorial!

@Alexpham:
yes luv u too! :)

I luv reading everyone’s comments… very entertaining

@thuff7:
Yay, there doesn’t seem to have been any deaths through food poisoning reported here yet, so you all must be good enough cooks to not dwindle the Kina fan listing unexpectedly!

Did the meal get the open waistband up salute or maybe even the full monty zip down award?

@confused newbie: aww gee lol thank YOU n00bs!

@thuff7: naw, nothing much happening over here. Well, my dad lives and works in NY so he came home for the long weekend!! Oh and I can’t forget about the snow ;p…. did someone say House? lol

@Alexpham:

you’re my business partner right??!! of course you’re first!

@thuff7:

great! how was your little vacation?

@sabafa:

aww shucks? you mean shucketh…heh heh.

@maryanne:

Hopefully distant enough family members for legal hook ups to occur as such unfolding events are so sweet to witness!

@confused newbie:

;))

This time I’ll say shuck, so that I can clam up whilst you bring out some more pearls from your oyster like shell for I’m off to You Tube land as I hear the call of Kina beckoning and stirring within my very soul, so tis away home for me to the dulcet tones of our aeolus, yet classy lassie! Good night and God bless.

@sabafa:

ha! No need for the full monty, thank goodness! We had a ton of food, but the conversation was satisfying and kept our mouths busy, so the tradition of eating ourselves into a vegetative state was for once foregone.

@maryanne:

Snow??!! How much? What kind?

I can’t get enough snow. Mostly because I love the smell and the way it muffles sound. But I also love it because my fellow Northern Virginians are wholly incapable of handling the smallest of flakes. I love to watch them flounder about so helplessly. The entire metropolitan Washington DC area is hopelessly crippled my a mere 2″ dusting. So even the hint of snow means a paid day off!

“House” is on as I type. But it is not lupus!!!! =D

@Alexpham:

@ConNewbie:

Trip was great. It was 60 in North Carolina after a week of being in the 20’s and 30’s at home. We were totally unprepared and were roasting long sleeve shirts and sweaters while we sat in patio furniture outside. My aunt brought some albums she made of our family genealogy going back to the 1790’s.

AP. What kind of camera?

@confused newbie: aww gee.. thanks!! i’m thankful for you too.

@thuff7: how was your trip?? did you get to try the pumpkin turnover recipe??

@Alexpham: wow… you did the whole 5AM wake up?! haha… i got to Fry’s at about 9AM & it was so super crowded, but thankfully, the lines moved quickly.

so it’s back to the daily grind… how are you all?????

@confused newbie: Yup your right buddy well eventhough i have no experience whatsoever haha!

@evann: super duper chill man my family is fun haha! =)

@thuff7: the red Kodax MX10something it was 89 dollars and in red (stupid target colors)so we bought two one for me and one for a person in vietnam. I have guests over and spent 3 grand just on watches today man they are loaded and also from vietnam visiting for the first time. =) I bought it for trips and concerts “kina’s” haha! Oh at least you guys where cold any snow cause cali just has rain winter season only all we do is go up to the mountains for snow.

@sabafa: nite!!!! in England

@anyone the attacks in india? huhhuh??? well i think it is stupid!

@g3mini: yup i am tired though am jacked on caffeine and sugar yay! well it was sooooo crowded and like a mob over here went to frys and bestbuy and target and malls =)

@g3mini: o yea i am hungry and will eat leftovers.

@evann: oh the blueberry pie was a success it was great with whip cream and vanilla ice cream yum.

@g3mini:

Hi g3mini!! Thanks, our trip was awesome. Lots of driving (12 hours out of the past 48) but we had a great visit with family.

How was your holiday?? I hope is was great!

I did get the recipe for the turnovers. Now we are home, so we will shop for some seasonal favorites and maybe even a small turkey for our house. The downside to visiting family is not have the leftovers for turkey sandwiches. So I will be making the pumpkin turnovers. We’d be happy to share one with you, but will do so in spirit at least.

@thuff7: TURNOVERS? are those like empanadas? and i got gumbo receipe from family in Loiusiana.

@Alexpham:

Hey AP. Yes we lived in CA (Rancho Cordova near Sacramento) We would go up into the Sierras every year around now to toboggan and cut our own Christmas tree. Lots of fun. Then back down to the mild weather.

How long did the guest from Vietnam stay? Where are they from in Vietnam? I don’t think I ever asked you that either. My wife was born in Tra Vinh which is a province in the Mekong Delta. She still has family there. Her aunt built a hospital there, but she is in Philadelphia now and someone else in the family is running the hospital.

@Alexpham:

g3mini passed along the recipe. They are more like individual pies. But I’ve seen Mexican ones that have pumpkin, chilies and chorizo.

I heard there is a large Vietnamese population near New Orleans. Probably the climate and the fishing is an attraction.

Well, I’m signing out from the east coast. It’s been a long travel day. Good to be home in my own bed!! Night all!

@thuff7: theyare still here but in vegas just to see i guess they got lucky asking the government to come over they were accepted here on their first plea. I am guessing they are up north like Ha Noi. Well hopefully i can cme over there after my college years and help the hospital twice a year well the kids anyway and maybe the old, but how was your kids during your journey? were they asleep or a handful? well usually i am in the car with my little cousins they don’t mess around i just listen and play with them heehee i wish i can meet your kids they seem like angels.=)

@confused newbie: oh… side note… just so you know, i’d be paperclip “girl/lady” lol… NOT guy! hahaha

@Alexpham: ANGRY mob, like in NY. too sad an incident (the walmart associate). & the attacks in india, a little scary & a lot sad. oh AP, you should try the turnovers, & yeah, i guess they are like empanadas.
http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1813,158173-253204,00.html

@thuff7: my holiday was good… it was another small gathering since family is just too far away. only the 5 of us this time. it was still great. lotsa left overs too… but seriously, i’m all turkey’d out. i’ll do ham sandwiches. christmas is coming around the corner – any plans??

@g3mini: i will get some tomorrow or buy them and make ‘em. o i wish we can have a blog party.

@confused newbie wat do we say tour guides for the LA and OC lol! we can eat in LA like little tokyo and have breaks at tastea lol!

@g3mini thx for the recipe and hopefully i can make it tomorrow and i want akool blog party i will b a guide in LA and newb can be it for the OC we can all eat in malibu for dinner it would be awesome! :D

@thuff7:

Now that sounds good until one remembers reasons for being taught that it is more polite to not talk whilst eating include that it is such a waste of food spraying it all over the guests which thus stops the inducement of a delightful food gorge nap through the dizzying mix of almost getting starved whilst also partaking exercise levels of dodging food spray and thus I conclude an alternative vision of your clan gathering from that which was first gained:P LOL

@Alexpham:

Many other countries too ap/shrlck hms:P

@sabafa: haha!

@g3mini: wish we have a blog party i will be a tour guide once you guys come take you to disneyland and such and confused newbie want to help?

@Alexpham:

You’re welcome and I’ll see you next year! Maybe talk to Kina and plan it when she does a concert here :P

@thuff7:

Personally I think it’s time you learned about the age old dutch tradition of the “vogeltjesdans”.

I will try to find a video or something online for you.

there we go:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQL2Cb6_utc

@avweije: awesome

@sabafa: haha!

@g3mini: lets have a blog party i cll tour guide and would newb help? LA whoohoo o and guess wat i just saved money on my car insurence lol geico is whack lol!

come to think of it, this might be a nice song for Kina to play, while her sisters are doing the birddance behind her :))

@ Misa/Emi & Boyfriend/any1interested

Here’s something that might tickle your fancy, but I’ll give a word of caution, my computer would not allow the design kit to be opened, so be careful if your thinking of saving or opening the zip file – its details are shown so you can give it a look over Misa, obviously it’s not shown in their click for it:)

“DESIGN SP ARTWORK

To celebrate the release of Crack the Shutters, SP.com are running a competition to design the artwork for the website only remix version of the single.

The best one will be chosen by the band and will be the official digital single sleeve. The only rule we’re setting for this one is that you need to have Snow Patrol and Crack the Shutters somewhere on the artwork, but otherwise get those creative juices flowing.

We’ve also uploaded a design kit which includes the 7″ and CD covers for inspiration and the required text in our SP font. You can get this by clicking

Entries need to be emailed to us at remixcomp@snowpatrol.com by Wednesday 10th December, with the artwork sent to us as a Square JPEG, 72 dpi to fit 350px x 350px.

N.B. Please try and keep the files underneath 2MB’s.

Good Luck

@sabafa:

You’re killing me!!!! Now I can’t get that image out of my head which is hysterical!

Fortunately (in this case, anyway), the Huff clan is quite long-winded, thus allowing ample time for the others to clear their plates whilst one of us waxes philosophic, yada, yada, yada.

@avweije:

Wow, what is most amazing is that apparently, some people in the audience actually brought their own vogeltjes just in case the dans broke out. =D

so where is ‘hater’ this week? his/her comments are so terrific :)

@Alexpham:
yumm you just made me wicked hungry!! argg

Why thank you, glad you like it, hopefully, if I get used to hearing such responses, I wont feel so bad when I hear it being used along with the rejection of a proposal! ;))

I like to think that death by laughter sounds such a nice way to start ones permanent life:)) So I see that you have an apt family name for one that uses some of its members to distract the main body of it whilst the remainder then doggy bag up those distracted, and, most unfortunate kinsfolk’s food! 8))

Good morning lovely people!

@sabafa: mhmm, definitely. btw i like your comments. they are really fun to read.

@thuff7: yea there isn’t not much snow but it was very windy last night so it felt like there were little dust particles hitting your face :D. haha oh man, people still complain about the snow here even after living here for soo long lol it’s funny. haha good thing it’s not lupus ;p. who is your favorite character?

@Alexpham: yes! empanadas are great.

@thuff: you play that song in holland and people go crazy, mad folk

@all:
I need some advice, who out there records videos to put on youtube? I got a webcam with mic built in today and just recorded my 1st youtube vid, but the sound is very soft.

What’s a good tool for making webcam vids..?

@maryanne:

So the fear of the sight of white seems almost universal. =P
So far, we only had flurries for about 5 minutes which evaporated before they hit the ground, but it was still the lead story on the local news. 8/

Favorite character: hmmmmmm. This could take weeks lol ;-D

That would have to be OTH (other than House). I love them all except Vogler which is a given thx to Chi McBride’s brilliance as an actor.

I loved Amber from the start b/c it was clear that the screenwriters wanted you to hate her as CTB. In hindsight through reruns, she was even more incredible. But she won me over on the speech she gave to House about watching the football game and noticing that the winning team was the happiest one.

That is from my all-time favorite ep. “Games” with the incredible character Jimmy Quidd (Jeremy Renner). He’d be my alter ego if it wasn’t for the need to have a job and raise a family hahaha “Maybe purposelessness is my purpose.” (Although David Shore didn’t write that one, so it would be rude to exclude him–so there are many more fav eps.)

The way Amber’s character ended in such a non-traditional (for lack of a better term) love triangle with House and Wilson was genius.

So, see what I mean. I could talk about this show all day if I had the chance and a slight hope that anyone would hang in there for more than a few minutes. (Huff’s the name, right Sabafa??)

Your fav characters?

So to keep this minimally OT, music fans can see the link for a rundown of all the sound track choices by ep which are some pretty great tunes.

way…. too much… leftovers… mmmm

@avweije:yea hopefully i can come!

@ anyone i made hungry i will mail you sum! =)

@thuff7 how wer the kids during the ride?

@g3mini i want a blog party so bad want to meet everyone seriously i mean it everyone is awesome on here.Hey i will be a guide for the LA district lol!

@newb tour guide for the OC? haha!

@sabafa: Haha – I hadn’t thought of that. No, I just wondered really. I think the other two guitars are Taylors so maybe they are much better than the black one and its fallen out of favour but I think the black guitar looks cool :-).

If I was racing with Kina it’d probably have to be a marathon – an 11000 mile round trip is a bit far for a 10k! I wasn’t planning to do my first marathon till 2010 but the guys at the running club this morning were talking about doing Berlin next year and I was feeling tempted. Too late to do London in April – you have to apply a year in advance, or get a charity place and they are quite expensive (about £1500).

Anyway, it’d be silly to run a marathon whilst carrying a guitar – Kina might beat me!

(Actually, IIRC her best mile time is around 5m30s which is around a predicted 3hr finish time equivalent for a marathon on a flat course in good conditions. My best race time to date is 1hr40 for a half-marathon which is around 3hr30 for a full. Though she does have the advantage of about 14 less years and quite a few stones less weight advantage. Though even when I was younger I doubt I ran a 5:30 mile.)

Welcome back to thanksgiving holidaying folks.

@maryanne:

Y thank u maryanne:)

Imagine if this site had the speech tool that You Tube have, we would all start falling out through getting the wrong idea most of the time because it tends to stop part way through the reading out of a comment! The same might actually happen through a possible misunderstanding of thuff7’s comment below yours, but hey, ho, friends should be tolerant, so let’s see how the wind was/might be blowing below!

@thuff7:

Yar, Huffs are even named after their blustery ways, amogst other things that might transpire if this is taken the wrong way, so friend, don’t go there, take it in good humour, as I have decided to accept that you must surely have meant yours to be, so :)) is a good way to go, so here’s mine :))

“@sabafa:

“Don’t leave in a huff, leave in a minute and a huff.” – Groucho

My reference to my own name in the post to maryanne above was a self-deprecating allusion to the verbosity of my response. I struggle to find a way to take it as anything other than a good-humored pun upon my inherited surname for it is one particularly well suited for such. All in good fun and spirit. But I can be dim, so if I give offense, kindly reproach me and enlighten me to the errors of my ways!! ;-D

Good to hear and yes I think it looks cool too! If it didn’t usually cost less than a couple of hundred for shipping costs, etc, I’d be banking on Kina having enough sway after winning the SF bash next year to have them Taylor the route the following year to being from the airport to her house and back, so that she could leave the Tak with the baggage handlers to (ahrm) take good care of it so as not to damage/loose it, whilst you two trotted off to her house for a nice measure of alcoholic apple, chinn wagg fan festival before racing off back to the airport totally not worrying about the fact that you haven’t been able to better the view all the way because you were blessed with being slower than Kina at that as well as any other time and the drink/flight can be blamed for enjoyably poor performance – sounds a good race all in;) but then again, you might be left with a lousy view because Kina’s skedaddled off out of view8.¬.(

Thanks for thinking on it so much now Windscale, you obviously hadn’t beforehand<3bless you for that:P Been fun, byes:)

Cool, have Marxed it well, and will likely do so, should something clearly happen, have dealt with many a bully, which your name is also well documented as being known for, but I figured that you of all people would not have put the ‘??’ rather than ‘!!’ by mistake, and thus took it in fun but as ‘nout as queer as folk’ can easily set in where there are no other visual signals to ease a message across, a light clasping of a possible nettle was applied and thankfully, uncalled for = good on ya m8 and I’m sorry if it caused you the very slightest of distress! <3u all the more 4 u meanig it the way you did~[(8D

If slight distress at all, it is only my embarrassment for a flaw in my diction, being wholly unfamiliar with this context of my own name.

“Bully?!” How very odd. Well there, never to old to learn and certainly no better place for an education than an entertaining venue that mixes beautiful music and beautiful people.

A thousand pardons for my awkward punctuation and any misunderstanding it may have caused.

@thuff7:

No problemo:)

hi all

my account is marked as spam MISA HELP?

I cant add comments it just wont show weird @_@

@ people of kination haha! kination… well it is settled we should have a gathering of sorts in LA this summer and the OC/Malibu eh..beaches k well as i was typing we should have one and a little bonfire type thing over here in LA i will be a tour guide and maybe newb? idk but kool idea rite! =)

@thuff7: haha at flurries being the headliner. At least it’s kind of a good thing, not a lot of bad news:).

I totally agree, I like all the characters and hated Vogler lol. And Amber was really well written haha I hated her at first but had a feeling she wasn’t really all that bad. Hmm I really don’t have A fav character, they all have cool qualities. Cameron and Wilson are the nicest so I guess I’ve fallen for them :P. Whoa I just watched the latest episode and 13 got a beating :(.

oh nice, thanks for the music site. I knew Iron and Wine’s music was in one of the eps but i didn’t know what song. And when I heard House’s ring tone(mmmbop!) I laughed. !t reminded me of the grannis girls’ jam session!

@dro or ryan: haha any lumpia?! ;)
@sabafa: :) you’re welcome!
@AlexPham: That’s an awesome idea! I better start saving up for the trip haha.

wait, that’s me ^^^^ I’m anonymous :s

@maryanne:

We knew it was you all along! You’ll never be anonymous with us.

I think Wilson is gr8. He takes a lot from House, but dishes it right back up. I like the new blond Cameron who has gotten so much stronger as a person and quite funny. Yes, 13 had quite a beating, but it was a real turning point for her. It was her best ep yet. Now she can face down her Huntingtons. Foreman is the most fascinating. He is so torn up inside–total love/hate with House. The eps when he nearly died had some of the best acting ever on TV–Omar Epps was awesome.

There were lots of singers that Kina has covered on the House play list. I thought of the exact same thing with mmmBop!! =D So funny.

@AlexPham:

AlexPham – come in out of the cold, dude. I betcha Misa is still on holiday. But it looks like ur getting through. Your posts will probably all turn up at once like Mama G’s did that time.

@Anonymous: haha! hollywood is awesome and if we have a chance we might see other superstars lol!

@thuff7: oh kool thx for the heads up.

anyone wanna help me out? i have a lot of photoshopping to do but i need to go to bed b.c i have work at 6:30 am est?! lol is this really random?

@evann:

what is the photoshopping for? holiday pix? 6:30 is early to work. Hope you have a nice hot coffee waiting for you there!! lol. hehehehe. one of the perks, isn’t it!!

?@evann: wats the prob sir?( in a cop’s voice) and yes it’s ehhh… in random i am really random most times lol

but seriously give me a list evann.

@AlexPham:

I think evann may be snoozing on his keyboard.

(embed loud buzzing sound)
(embed deep voice from the heavens: eeeeevvvvannnnnn!!!!)

@g3mini:

Our Christmas plans are simple. We’ll spend the time with our sons. We don’t go overboard, just a few simple gifts, but mostly spending time together. We have a Vietnamese Christmas dinner.

I think I’ll need to get my oldest (6 years old) a real guitar. We got him a junior one last year, but it won’t hold a tune at all. He came in the room before to show me he could play along with Kina on “Disturbia.” That’s his fav song. He says he dreams about the bum bum be dum bum bums!! But he was a bit sad that his guitar is so much smaller. We’ll make it right.

What about you? Vegas must be a trip at Christmas!! What is a typical Christmas for you?? You do have some family here, right?

@thuff7: lol well christmas for me will be with my family up in mammoth near san fran idk where slept the last time i went over so yea and opening presents i just got some early ones for friends yesterday thank god for black friday! :D

Ok, this is extremely late..ok maybe not so late, but still, Happy Turkey-Day!

Dude, if I could play guitar I would totally learn that song, but alas, wind instruments seem to be the only ones I can muster the patients to learn. That is one of my favorite songs of yours though.

first it was Together!

now it’s Delicate!

stuck in my head…

dang woman!

@thuff7: a vietnamese christmas… mmm… the food will be yummy! this christmas, unlike last year, will be a bit better. last year, it was a boring grown up christmas – all the kids were gone. but they’ll be here this christmas & i’m way excited! believe or not, we’ll be having a barbecue. no cold weather ever stops us. then we’ll probably head up to the mountains to let the kids play in the snow.

@AlexPham: a meet up in LA would be awesome. someone just has to make sure evann can get there. any volunteers to be his chaperone?? (just looking out for you, evann!)

@confused newbie: DELICATE!! seriously, that’s stuck in my head too. something about this music… can’t get enough ;)

looking back…

how did we ever reach 600 on the anni blog? wow! that was truly amazing now that i think about it.

@g3mini:

oh hey mini. sorry for calling you a ‘guy’. at least i know now.

@g3mini:

like seriously, some of kina’s songs are truly addictive. i need it every day! i’m a KINAHOLIC!!!!!!

@g3mini: me i will be the chaperone lol!

@evann age please? lol

@confused newbie: yea i got ours to keep, stars falling down,and cambridge stuck in my head for hours now crazy! =) so how was turkey day im in corona yay! so i got boba at tastetea the other day a lychee slush it was quite cold in the cold too hahaha!

same here newb

@kina most of your songs brighten up my day =)

@AlexPham:

yo ap! so i hear you’re setting up some big kina fan get together?

@confused newbie: haha… no worries. you’re not the first. i don’t know why…
for days and days, i couldn’t get “why can’t i?” outta my head. i even blogged it in myspace… lol.

@AlexPham: you doing an age check?? [takes out ID, i swear i'm not a minor!] lol!

@avweije:

Start, Control Panel, Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices, Sounds and Audio Devices, Sounds and Audio Devices Properties, Audio, Sound Recording, Volume, adjust it, Options, Advanced, Advanced, adjust it & 4gt I hlpd if you end up cracking your/others speakers if you push things up too high:P

Kina’s proved to be a good tool for Vids so far;))

oovret: Week 31

What is your dream car?
Are you allergic to any foods?
If you could own either C-3PO or R2-D2, which would you choose?
What is your hot beverage of choice, for a Tim Tam Slam?
Do you enjoy shopping?

@g3mini:

Wow! BBQ for Christmas!! That sounds gr8. I used to BBQ year round. I even did it during a blizzard on my porch. I love the flavors and it’s worth the effort. What will you be Q-ing? =P’

I miss the California mountains. I’ve hiked in all the major ranges–Appalachian, Rockies and Sierra Nevadas. The Sierras have a special smell and feel that I recognize immediately. It must be from spending so much time there. I went to Tahoe a couple years ago, and I got the most incredible deja vu/flashback or whatever it was. I just feel at home there. I hope you and the kids have a blast there!!

@confused newbie:

Aha!!! See??!!!! Together is my drug of choice, as you well know.

Seriously, before I heard this song, I used to tell my son a bedtime story about how a volcanic island formed far away in the ocean and grew into a paradise with volcanic sand and jungles filled with fruits and flowers. So it helped keep his mind off “things like monsters and the like” which really did live in his closet. Well, the song works for us–up to a point, of course.

@newbster:

It was an awesome feat, inspired by Mama G’s call for action and helped by the fact that we were all blogging at the same time regardless of the time zone. Plus some great emcee action by TimR, AlexPham, Sabafa, yourself and many others who took turns keeping the conversation alive and real. :-)

I converted the whole blog into a PDF file that turned out to be 138 pages long!!! I had to save that one in the mementos folder!! :P

But just wait untl the CD is out. We’ll all be looking in the rearview mirror at that 600 post blog!! =D

@ravencolours:

Wind instruments huh, ever play on a didgeridoo? I have one here and sometimes play on it, again, I’m not good, but can do the circular breathing thing and a couple of cute sounds.

@sabafa:

Yup, tried that already, it was still quite soft. Played around a bit more and found an overal sound volume that I increased (which increased everything, so I had to lower my speakers again). That upped the volume a bit, but I haven’t done a test yet making a new vid.

I’d like to ask Kina what tool she uses, since she does some nice editing as well. I’d like to have something where I can merge a video and a sound file. If I can record the sound seperately I can get the volume up.

Ah well, I’ll look around a bit, might be a good thing you can’t hear my youtube vids at the moment :P ghehe

Thanks for the help.

PS

Okay, so I finally got the @thing working, is there an easy way to do it? I copy paste the link and add the tag

@AlexPham:

Sounds like a good plan. Where is Mammoth by San Fran?? I know of Mammoth Mtn. I can’t believe you have some of your Christmas shopping done already. Hat’s off to ya!!

We are getting ready for a field trip to the Shenandoah River for part of my research project. The family is tagging along cuz the boys love the river and my wife keeps us clean and organized for the 6-hour round trip sampling loop. It’s a chilly 40 deg and raining, so it will be an ordeal. But it’s an important piece of the puzzle, so off we go.

Okay, I think I found a good video editing tool. Feel kinda stupid right now though :-|

I searched the net, found a review website of free video editors, downloaded 4, tried them, wasn’t too pleased with any of them.

Had another think, did another search, checked my Start Menu and found Windows Movie Maker, beats all 4 that I downloaded.

So basically, I had the tool on my pc all along.

*ahem*

Yes, I was impressed by the Windows Movie Maker–very easy to use. Not that I am in anyway qualified to compare.

I connected some clips from my sons’ birth–uh, not the biological parts, of course. 8P I put it to Beethoven which was excellent. =D Of course, the files were pretty big, tho, so I couldn’t really e-mail them-but CDs to the fam were nice.

@confused newbie: Yup, Kinaddiction is real folks. There is no known cure. The only known treatment option is to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride! And BTW newbie, at what point do you stop being confused and become the no longer confused newbie?

@thuff7: I am glad we got to 600 when we did. I was close to doing my best old man impression – “Back in my day, we didn’t have a working forum. All we had was a bla(h)g and some can-do spirit. And we liked it! Now get off my lawn!!!”

@avweije: All you have to do is click the arrow by the date in the post you want to refer to, and it adds the @ stuff automatically to the reply box.

@ALL:
Hope everyone (those who celebrate it anyway) had a great thanksgiving!

@TimR: excellent! thanks :)
@thuff7: glad not the biological parts ;)

@thuff7: bbq’ing just the same ol’ stuff – chicken, ribs. not really sure what else. you’re all invited if you wanna come to vegas! lol…

@TimR: i was wondering the same about “confused newbie” >> maybe “enlightened newbie” “enlightened veteran”, or maybe “enlightened oldbie”?? lol… because i’m sure the confused part is no more.

@ all – top o’ the morning to ya!!!!

@g3mini:
@TimR:

good morning (or afternoon or night) everyone!

hmm…name change? well, i am always a little confused. aren’t we all? i just don’t ask about every little thing. i could! for example…what does ’shack to castle’ mean? sounds so deep!

as for the newbie part, technically you could say that i’m not a newbie anymore. however, it’s really only been a month since joining this wonderful place so i still consider myself a newb. i was going to officially change my name after i see and meet kina in person at a concert of her’s. i want to walk up to her, hold out my hand and say ‘hi, i’m confused newbie’ and give her a hug and thank her for her music. in the meantime, i would love to hear some name change suggestions. try me…anything, just throw it out here…i love to laugh so don’t hold back. ‘enlightened veteran’…haha…

one more thing mini, i saw your pic on youtube…that’s you, right?

@thuff7:

hey big guy! re: guitar for your son, can’t wait to see him on youtube posting songs! kina covers!!!

@confused newbie: trying to with limited time and money to do so

@g3mini: haha you can pass madame lol

@thuff7: well i meant the mountain buddy wel it is 5 hours from LA i think 6 from the OC and yea i have no job so i find great deals for my shopping so basically i am a bargain buying person lol just like my mom

idk how about summer for a blogtogether? cause fall and winter i still have high school to finish ugh!…

@TimR: thx for the warm regards :P

@g3mini: well i am going to vegas soon though not at christmas probably spend my time watching shows any good ones coming other than magic like circus de cilie(cant spell it lol)?

@confused newbie: well it is all about the noob life lol

@confused newbie: oh how about the adorable kitten lol or ninja noobs?

@AlexPham: The magic show by Hans Klok you mean? He’s dutch too.. his hair always blows and stuff

@avweije: no i looking for something other than comedy and magic shows i have seen him before very funny though.

so anyone want to party in malibu???? =P

@maryanne:

I see someone knows how to not waste words, good save! These are economical with their words too:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He6xMw-ABt8

but I can’t seem to leave it alone at the moment, must be something subliminal in it like when a female is simply in view of an inexperienced male and he thinks he’s in like Flynn no matter what signifiers are displayed to him and despite the obvious fact that he knows his own track record shows no action has been taken up to that point and so it is largely just in his head:/ perhaps rembering kev and perry’s comedy film would give a fair indication of such train of ‘dare I call it this, mmm, ok’ thought! Well, if this video doesn’t have any, and I note that there are some scenes on it that don’t seem to be noticed until a fluke pause has been actioned, I reckon that my triggers are being buzzed by all the quick shots of Rickenbacker’s, which made me wonder if, besides the obvious Kina connection, that the simple fact that her Tak’s black with white edging like on some Ricks has been enough signification to bring about the desire for it = hmm!+might have to book a 1way ticket to a padded cell for myself, going so gaga 4m:P

Anyways :db: best be quick and withdraw the welcome and be happy gossiping with the others, for I’m just as happy to glide by than drop in and put my feet under the table for one or more if offerred, so don’t get upset if I don’t always respond, besides I might actually just miss spotting a bazillion comments or two as I’ve never been one for bothering with this sort of thing, as oasis know full well, prior to Kina and I don’t like being away from viewing music =

the grannis family should have a meet and bowl night with kina and her fans!

@confused newbie:

Nooo, help me I’ve been running renegade over this:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He6xMw-ABt8 and very nearly this:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH9PhvAIemI

even though it looks pretty enough, it’s like a totally boring ride, not a bend in sight, so sad:.( bikes weren’t made for such torture!

Just letting you all know you might not hear much from me anymore. I recorded a vid for youtube and put it on, activated my own channel and am now awaiting the record deals.

It being sunday, I imagine I’ve got a good couple of hours of relative anonimity left, so I’ll be around for a bit longer just in case anyone needs me.

I am sure I will remember the little people though :P

(I hope nobody just took a sip of their drinks before they read that)

for those that want to see my poor attempts:
Holland’s Got Talent

@maryanne

haha actually this Thanksgiving has been the first where Filipino food didn’t outweigh the American/Hispanic food (I have a bunch of different ethnicities in my family).

So we really only had Pancit, Lumpia (Fressshh), Buko Pie, and…. (drumroll)… Balut! I had two!

Even more interesting, it’s the first Thanksgiving we’ve had with mashed potatoes. odd, huh?

@dro or ryan: balut is great with salt and pepper i want some now dang you ryan!!!!

@thuff7 and @AlexPham:

*shakes awake* “huh? what?”

yeh sorry i decided to bring my computer to work and finish there.. i was sadly without the internet all day =(

thanks for answering my call for aid but ive finished them already.. they were just backgrounds for school that i just didn’t want to do haha

and @AlexPham again:
uhm my age? im only 15.. ill be 16 in december! haha score!!!

@avweije: why not =(

p.s. am i the youngest here?

@avweije:

Sometimes a mute can be put on by (?) I guess an update, so watch out for those areas to be the cure for that and within the one for surround system if you have one, which if you have, is another area to check out that recording/mute setting too.

You could ask Kina at kina@kinagrannis.com too, but I’m pretty sure she uses imovie and garageband, so as you’ve found moviemaker, have a shufftie for garageband, but you’d be lucky to find that that was bundled, so perhaps go check out the beta at microsoft’s technet or windows live even as I’m pretty sure their (Cruise Ship/Space Craft/whatever it was called!/?) provided me with one many full system restores ago – yipes no, leave them and go and buy Garageband or similar if you can:) Oh, I know, Kina talked about what she uses in one of her videos, erm I think it was around about ‘Disturbia’ onwards, so that’s a pleasent way of finding your information out without disturbing Kina, but she loves us, so you could totally go there without the likes of this happening, no matter what size you are;)-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pf1rMtEqo0

@thuff7:

Many people moan about Windohs Movie Maker, but I must admit that I have no need to, as I don’t edit anyway anyway for my jubbly system dislikes letting it/pretty much everything else work = I chose a pear and Kina chose an apple, guess which one is always pear shaped, yup the pc!

Look, no OYVEZ at the end of that, so I clearly didn’t post this comment:P

@TimR:

My guess is that he’ll definitely stop being confused once he’s married and found matrimonial direction, which may be a good thing for either/both, but could turn out to be something like this, I’ll leave it up to you to choose which class type might = which partner in such a marriage as I wouldn’t like to scare an unexpecting neubie out of his confused state and leave some poor domineering woman mourning the loss of an easy vanquishMAWAHAHAHAHA or would/have I just? Only nubby would know;P hehehe

@sabafa:

wow, can’t believe you said that

@AlexPham: No slight intended AlexPham, if that’s what you’re hinting at. I certainly wouldn’t want to upset a Black Friday shopper. I know how rowdy you folks get ;)

@sabafa: Marriage is a fine institution. I just prefer not to be institutionalized (at least not yet). ;)

@avweije: so you say you’re only a beginner… i think not! lol….

@dro or ryan: oh no! balut! it’s not so much the smell or *taste?*, but i can’t stand the sight of the baby. it makes me sad!! but i’ll take some lumpia & pancit! haven’t had that in awhile.

@AlexPham: hmmm… being a resident here, i don’t really go down to the strip unless someone is visiting… you’re talking about cirque du soleil.. yeah, haven’t seen it. i think the last time i played tourist down on the strip, i went to see the bodies exhibit. if you’re fascinated by stuff like that, you should see it! the human body is so amazing. i’d see it again. in fact, my family will be going there over this winter break. my sister and her family will be in town and my brother-in-law has never strolled down the strip. so we’re taking him!

@evann: you’re definitely younger than i am… wow, i feel a bit old! lol… i kid!

@g3mini:

oh no! ur probably not even that old! how old are you? if u dun mind my asking…

@g3mini:

The early morning birds say that there is no more top o’ the morn’ to ya since milk containers switched from glass to plastic and that mornings has been a screwed up one for them ever since and hence the greeting term became just a miserably said ‘mourn’! Or is that just around the Mountains of Mourne http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO2SRwG-GF4 (colin rudd – mountains of mourne) or as both are pretty versions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48-_zQLljYI (Celtic Thunder – The Mountains of Mourne) oh and possibly over the Irish Sea in England’s Somerset area too;)) mmm b: cider b: drools reverently<3

@sabafa: I’ve been across the country, so no singing for me on the album thus far, and no cello yet, sadly.

@StephenW: You are my hero!

@sabafa: Ooh cool thank you! I love their new album.

@confused newbie:

Oh gr8ly confused 1, ’shack to castle’ means a rather large change in standards, dwelling for example a shack(duh) to a castel(dbl duh) omg that’s 2cute 4sm1 wntn 2go 2uni, bst gt htchd now b4 ne1 ntcs-AW!

Just in case, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRDkY7Ka_7U (Fyvie Castle Extra Part 1, episode 13) and look out for shacks in this almost ancient but goldenish film, (ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES (1 OF 15)) they’re the ones not made of stone lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgzjzJoy5rQ

@confused newbie:

How ’bout ProB??!! Not quite newbie, not old hand, still on probation. ;;-D

@avweije: You should just be able to click the gray arrow to the right of the date and time the comment was posted and it’ll automatically populate the link in the comment box.

@sabafa: I’m not sure i follow what you mean about the MVP

@thuff7–

Been meaning to ask, where in NoVa do you reside? I travel to Alexandria about once a month, about 10 minutes outside of Old Town. My ulterior motive is that I want to know if you have any recommendations for good Vietnamese restaurants in the area. So far our go-to for Pho is Viet House up the street from his apartment, which is surprisingly good for a relatively clean, well-lit, spacious place in a strip mall (I’m used to dingy little holes-in-the-wall in Chinatown, NYC).

@avweije: Hey, that’s not bad at all! Better than I could do in any case.

@confused newbie: @confused newbie:

Now look nubs, I’m the confused 1 = you didn’t allude clear enough bro:/ Please sort soonish, we’ve got films to watch & I’m not only missing the music, but more importantly KINA in this kind of office temp roll of blahgging, now that’s got 2b an OYVEZ;)

@TimR:

Haha, saving up for the split then or just the prenup fees is it, oh ye doubting thomas away to the nunnery and choose thy bride for time is fleeting and moneys faster still make hast and let thines bounty spill!!

@TimR:

“And we liked it.” lol. barefoot in the snow.
Uphill. There and back. ;-)
You kids just don’t know. heheheh

Hey, welcome back!!! Hope you had a gr8 one.

@thuff7: haha. I actually had the snow part typed in but edited it out. Yep – despite the random drivel that I type sometimes, I actually do have a filter.

@thuff7: Haha thanks! My bad.

Wow, I agree again! Wilson is awesome and such a good friend. Cameron HAS gotten stronger which is nice to see. Yea, I’m glad 13 is facing her fear! Foreman is a great character too but I do get confused as to what he really thinks about House. Which team do you like better? House’s old team or new one??

@AlexPham: yay! Other superstars other than Kina right?? ;)

@g3mini: Yea Christmas is rarely fun without the young ones. Bbq in the winter?! Haha that’s great. “the human body is so amazing” I very much agree :) but gosh, it’s so complicated :s. I guess that’s the beauty of it.

@confused newbie: I’m up for bowling! :p

@dro or ryan: It’s always good to have lots of different foods! What other ethnicities do you have in your family? Hehe Pancit and Lumia always go hand in hand for some reason. Yes, freshhh not frieddd! Oh wow, I’ve never had balut. It’s kind of.. creepy lol… and I’m surprised you’ve only had mashed potatoes only now! It’s like turkey’s best friend! Haha I don’t know..

@evann: Oh I wish I were young again ;p.

@sabafa: haha thanks, that was a close one huh? Hmm interesting notion… hahaha don’t go gaga over it, relax!

@all: Phew! That all took forever to read. I feel bad for Kina.. having to read almost everything:(.

@avweije:
if you go to a post of the person to whom you wish to replay to, there is a very faded grey arrow next to the date and time of post submission. the arrow sortof points up and back? i guess so. clicking the arrow creates a code in your comment box and you’re all set to go! hope that helped!

@maryanne:
okay i doubt your old aswell!! ;)

now i feel this is needed:
so everyone? how old are we?

@Misa:

Hi Misa, hope you enjoyed your trip and Thanksgiving. =D

I lived in Fairfax, then Manassas and now much further out in Fauquier county–away from the traffic. I was on the Fairfax campus of GMU, but now at the smaller Manassas campus which is for biomedical research, mostly. My wife lived in Falls Church which is a little bit north and west of Alexandria. Her mom still lives there and ferries out some goodies whenever she comes out this way.

I think Viet House is a small chain. If so, we go to the one in Fairfax all the time. It is *the* best. =D Very busy, but very friendly and everything is very fresh. My wife also recommends Pho 75’s of which there are many around. Her family goes to the one in Falls Church (just outside of Alexandria) on Rte 50.

If you have a way to get around, try Eden Center at 7 Corners in Virginia.

http://edencenter.com/

Even if you need to take a metro bus, it’s worth the trip at least once. It is like a Little Saigon with a dozen or so restaurants, bakeries and shops. It can get pretty intense and a bit chintzy–you know the word if you live in Queens!! ;-D

But there are a lot of treasures around. Even the markets have great Viet delis. Let me know what you think, if you do go!!

@confused newbie: on youtube?? no… mine is g3mini521 not g3mini. whoever that is, they beat me to it!

@maryanne: it is definitely complicated!! amazingly put together…

yes, bbq in the winter. lol. when you’re from the islands, you find any excuse to barbecue. lol. seriously… so bbq here at my place… !!!

@Misa: OH HEY! YOU’RE BACK! WELL, WELCOME BACK. how was your thanksgiving??

@sabafa:

I didn’t think that was you. Oy.

I’ve done pears and apples. Now a pear, but mostly for special software that I can run at home and telecommute on days when I stay up too late to make the ride worth it. But not that the Gates of Delirium is any hero to me.

i feel like we really fell short this week on the comments… 500 one week and a mere 210? a travesty, an outrage, a scandal! c’mon everyone!! rally-cap time ;)

@Misa:
RE CD
No0O! Tis vilianous keeping yourself away from our being able to always hear you enwrapped in something we can kid ourselves is going to last:.(
Please try to change the situation 4 all our benefits<3
RE SP
& I + I can even play it thanks to managing to sort out the laptop’s CD/DVD player so that I could use the system restore discs last time
(}}:- [ caused many worry lines that problem, still, might get another couple2three months out of it again before the next blowup!
RE MVP
The music video player you up at the top of the blahg, the flash player – it would be more cool to have it immediately beneath the Submit Comment button as it is killing me not being able to keep an eyes and ears on Kina as I’m blahgging for I touch type, so twould be more enjoyable to be here if we had one here too, best always be a full music one, topped up, but permanant feature to allow for those posts that have none or only talk8D Mind you, if you could pull off a floating one that travelled around the blahg with the reader, you could probably get a new career or Sainted/dom in here<3
RE BOYFRIEND
Quick delete all records and Emi’s too, plus all images and the like of Kina standing next to any male, as mystery over such = gr8r lvl of fns hoping to bridge that availability factor gap = more fans = old school kidology darhling, dhont yhou knowh, like with rings – HAH, what a palaver some pull, hey!
RE YOU DIDN’T MENTION EMI
Has she been missing in doing some recording/etc, or perhaps off busied by Uni/Art School? Make no attempt to answer anything preferred kept private Misa, blahgs have memories and blahgers seem to hit the page running and kitted out with extra brain ram here thank God:))

@g3mini, @Misa, @evann:
thanks for your help and kind words :)

@sabafa: I’ll have a look around for Garageband and maybe send Kina an email soon. For now I’m quite happy with the moviemaker, but having a tool with which I can strip existing songs of voice so I can play to it would be a cool option too.

@TimR:

Filter?? Where can I get one?? My submit button is much to fast for my brain–and I usually pay the price!!

@all – hey it’s good to have everyone together again!!! What a happy crowd 2nite!

Special shout out our host at Bla(h)g:

@Kina – Don’t forget, each and every one of us has told you that your Monday posts aren’t expected during your studio time. We are all committed to supporting you and can wait until ur done, since we know the time will be well spent!! <3 <3 <3

@evann:

ABOUT A YEAR+ according 2 Kina:PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

if i may, i’d really like to digg thuff’s comment to kina ha

@avweije:

No, not for the faint of heart. Plus I’d get the frying pan on the side of my head if I dared.

Wow this blog is going fast and I need to head off to bed, @thuff7, @evann: I totally agree, although I very much enjoyed seeing Kina’s pouty face when she apologized for not having a monday video, so if we can get that plus let her know that we can wait, I’d be happy :P

@thuff7:
Argh! Blew my cover again;)

Oh & BTW thanks 4 honouring my 600 efforts, dividing my personalities so got in the way of winning the mama g top comment count, which I think was easily won by the food:))

@g3mini:

Oh, that sounds so good. Definitely “want to” – “would love to” but . . .
We can however, have the virtual BBQ Christmas gathering and will definitely check in on the day!!

@avweije:

& how cute was that forced high pitched hmph she gave with the dipped head gesture<3

It is so not fair there not being a Kina everywhere!

@avweije:

G’night in to all in Holland!! And oh yes, the pouty face was just so worth missing the post for!! I think she could have had us sign away our souls with that one!! ;-D

@Misa: hi misa how was your trip and was it cold?

@maryanne:

hmmmmmm. I think it would be easier to pick if the old crew wasn’t still around enough to pop in when need. But they were the best. I do like Kutner who is the adorable geek, but still comes in FTW now and again. Taub has his moments when he can be very human underneath his gruff shell.

UR right about Foreman. He is torn between loathing, fearing and admiring House all at the same time. I like the complexity.

You know, I really liked the private eye House hired to spy on Wilson. He was funny and could keep House a little humble. How devious, tho, right!!??

@sabafa: there should be a Kina at every McDrive ;) (sorry Kina, we mean well)

@thuff7: mmhmm, nighty night

@Argh!:

Food FTW!! Yuppers. And all of your persona should be counted together, providing they all agree, that is. ;;-D

@evann:

Not old, just older.

@AlexPham:

Your visage seems to be fading . . . you’re not feeling ill, by chance?

Hah! j/k. How are you, man? Post someting new from your new camera!!

Well . . . I’m taking a short break as my absence is notable downstairs . . . TTYS!!

random question: take two!!

does anyone remember at the LLS show, which i sadly was unable to attend (stupid united states, being so wide and what not), Kina and Emi preformed
a song called “Make Me” and i was wondering, is it an original? i feel like it is just because the song sounds so Kina-ish.. if anyone knows please lemme know.. as it were, curiosity killed the cat ;)

ps. linkage:

@thuff7: love HOUSE its so awesome! :P

@thuff7: sure why not i shall take pics of me soon but yea i just came home from a shooting range.

@evann: well yes i remember the LLS show lie 30 minutes from USC and UCLA in the valley heehee wasnt a fan though wish i was then and could have met her.

Holy cow…. I can’t believe I read the whole thing. Now I need to go take a nap…

@evann: I’m 20 years young :D. But still, when I was 16 I could play a game of basketball and not get tired *sigh*. Now?.. now it’s just sad. About “Make Me”, I’ve been wondering the same thing too. Someone help!

@g3mini: Absolutely amazing! I can”t get enough of muscles and bones. Man, we have so many. Bbq ftw! b^_^d.

@thuff7: Ah, that’s true. Kutner is funny and Taub DOES have his moments.. they both do. The spy was funny, and I didn’t notice it but he did keep House a little humble lol. Oh and Cuddy is funny too hehe.

Welcome back Misa! Hope you enjoyed your thanksgiving!

@maryanne:

im almost positive it is hers bc i saw another video in which she belted it out

and i just saw the most incredibly video of kina singing Message from Your Heart..
the crowd got soo into it !! its terrific!!

@Misa:

Local hole in the wall for Chinese is Mark’s Duck House in Arlington off Rte 50. Great duck plus non-Americanized menu.

For Dim Sum, try one of the Fortune’s. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at the one on Rte 50 (a pattern emerges). I think they are all owned together, but I’ve heard different stories. They only serve at specific times, the rest of the time is regular Chinese menu.

@maryanne:

Yup, the whole hostage thing started with House tampering with Cuddy’s desk, turning her top drawer upside down, and shoving everything back in. I forgot about what he was doing until the last scene when it all dropped on her lap!! Those 2 are destined, but it will take a long time . . .

@AlexPham:

Who’s your fav character, ep, scene, etc.???

@evann: ah ok, good job! I can see clearly now..the rain is gone! Aww I wish I could have been there, it looked like so much fun.

@thuff7: haha yes, I forgot about the desk thingy too. Interesting prank, I never would have thought of that. Not that I pull any pranks or anything :P.

@maryanne:

Yup, tis best to stick to what can be seen, heard, smealt, touched and loved and tis nearly always best abided by, in fact a Scottish lassie has been known to blurt out the same obvious stuff to guide her fans too, so pick up thy game and play thy field at hame if thee must trust to love and be loved in life’s reality and decieve not lest ye be a clot for such a gain will brook disdain!
VERITAS
wise words de sabafa;)

@thuff7:

arlington… as in arlington ma?!

@g3mini and AlexPham: Thanksgiving was good, relaxing, CT was quite nice despite the brief scare regarding Penn Station on Thanksgiving Day (“The FBI reports that Al-Qaeda considered attacking New York City’s public transportation system during the Thanksgiving holiday blah blah blah”). Got to go Christmas tree shopping with my cousins, which was fun, and had a surprisingly easy time eating Thanksgiving linner (eaten at around 4pm) despite the stitches in my lip and fillings in my teeth.

@avweije:

Luckily, Kina seems 2b@ almost every star$ known to mankind, so there is always a chance meeting to look forward to:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

@sabafa: Thank you for the warnings, though I don’t think Emi’s ever mentioned any sort of fellow in any public arena. I may not go around shouting it from the rooftops, but I won’t be one to deny my current situation. However, I’ll always respect my sisters’ privacy (a.k.a. not discuss their private lives in a public setting).

@thuff7:

I’m so gonna have to talk to the head man on that score, the only problem I foresee with that is, do I talk to myself about it or a shrink and I fear that if I talk to myself, I will still have to talk to a shrink, and I’m pretty sure the Kina’s not fully qualified as a shrink, so talking to a shrink doesn’t sound so pretty a thing to do, so best leave all scoring to laters – uhoh, I don’t know how many of me are laughing, so I don’t know how many to typeARGH!

@Misa:

so misa, was there any snow in CT?

@evann: Nope, no snow, in fact they kept complaining it was about 20 degrees too warm! (~45F) Was still a bit chilly for me with my thin Californian skin. :) About the same as NY at the moment, though.

@sabafa: wise indeed fellow sir wise indeed heehee…

@Misa: that is awesome i wish i can go over there sometime and dang stitches owww that must hurt eating.

@Mama G: haha! have a nice nap hahaha!

@thuff7: my favorite is wilson and house cause of there friendship.

@thuff7 my favorite ep would be house’s dad dieing it was quite funny yet sad i felt sorry for house and started thinking “so that is why he is such a jerk” lol

@Misa: so what was your favorite food on the turkey day menu??? mine was the pie =)

to everyone what about bones? you guys/girls enjoy that as much as house?

Hi peoples! looks like I have some reading to do.

@AlexPham: That’s a toss-up. I think I have several favorites. Usually my favorites are my aunt’s mushroom casserole, my mom’s brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes with my aunt’s gravy, my cousins’ grandmother’s cranberry sauce, stuffing and of course, pumpkin pie from costco smothered in whipped cream. This year I was at a different house, though, so the offerings were different. I think my favorite this year would have to be the perfectly cooked turkey or the baked sweet potatoes and apples. I wasn’t able to slather the pie in whipped cream this year, so better for my waistline, worse for my tastebuds. Still, pumpkin pie, mmmm.

Also, I had no idea stitches caused so much pain on their own. I only had three in my lower lip (inside), but the whole time they were in my entire jaw ached (my teeth hurt, my jaw hurt, my lip hurt) to the point of needing a constant flow of acetaminophen (or god forbid vicodin–which, by the way, made me feel horribly sick on both an empty and a full stomach, so I’ve decided I don’t much like the stuff) into my body. As soon as they took the stitches out (yesterday), even though the procedure itself hurt like heck, the pain in my mouth and lip was gone! My lip was no longer sore to the touch, my teeth stopped hurting, and the only pain in my jaw was from my fillings. I had thought the persistent pain was from my lip still healing, but I’m pretty sure it was just from the presence of the stitches. Now the inside of my lip feels really funky and is still a little discolored even though the swelling went down. I just hope the scarring in there heals quickly and that the purple splotch on my lip goes away soon! It looks like I have a really large birthmark.

@Misa: stitches in your lip?? who punched you?? lol… let’s send the angry mob! hahaha

@Mama G: yes, it is a lot to read. if i had to read the whole thing over again, i’d probably need a nap, too. how was your thanksgiving, Mama G? hope it was awesome! turkey coma, yeah?? lol…

@thuff7: a virtual bbq christmas? hmm… maybe one before or after, ’cause i think our families will be a bit upset if we spend our christmas in front of the computer all day! lol… but if we have one, i’ll bring the bbq & rice… hahaha.

@avweije: you’re welcome! so you are going to post more, right?!

@evann: 24 here!

@Misa: kool kool and does your family have some sort of tradition during this time of year cause i just go hangout at the park with my little cousins. :D

@g3mini: hello wat up?

well brb have to go home its an hour trip so yea… im in corona so an hour 30 to the valley so check you guys up lates-peace and love-me Alexnader Pham =)

@g3mini: I had a weird bump (a mucus seal, to be exact–word to the wise, do not chew on canker sores excessively) that they removed. Wasn’t an essential procedure but it was driving me insane and getting in the way of everything so they cut it out.

@AlexPham: Usually the entire extended family (my paternal grandfather’s branch of the family tree) meets up at one of my dad’s siblings’ houses and each family brings a dish or two they’re famous for, then everyone hangs out all afternoon, eats far too late (everyone else I know eats between noon and 4pm to allow plenty of digestion time, one family even ate at noon and then had a scheduled naptime), hangs out a bit more, and then some families camp out while others go home. Historically, the next day my dad used to rally his siblings to go buy new computers, but I think that trend has probably died in recent years :P I haven’t been home for many thanksgivings in the past few years, so I haven’t been around for any changes in tradition.

@Misa:

lol yeh 45 is really hot for thanksgiving weather.. it was probably mad humid too
yuck i hate when its humid out bc it makes the refrigerated glass cases at work build up a thick condensation that i hafto wipe of like every 27 seconds.. then it drips on the floor — its just-it makes a mess lol

@Screwy:

HI Screwy, lots to read, indeed. and don’t dare blink or there’ll be a dozen more!! Good holiday??

@g3mini:

Oh, yeah. I guess that’s true!! Doh. Well, Maybe then the day before or after. I guess that’s what I meant!! hahaha ;-D

@Misa:

Perhaps some of us were asleep when the subject scrolled by in this hyperblog, but I didn’t catch the part about needing stitches??!! I recall back a bit with you mentioning dental work, but wow!! I hope you’re okay!! Much concern here, of course. :O

wow… so much to read.
i feel like i have to post something just so i know where i left off.

[bookmark]

@Misa:

I see, already answered as I typed. I always fear the worst. Glad it’s minor. Still, hope you feel better. :)

@thuff7: Thanks for your concern :) I’ve been taking pictures of the progression, but I’ll spare everyone the gruesome photo gallery :P

@nimur:
agreed. (not that im doing that here or anything;))

@Misa: hope it heals nicely & quickly. only time i ever had stitches was when my wisdom tooth was pulled. darn tooth was aching, but it refused to break through the gums. so they had to cut. it hurt so bad i cried – well, more like teared up, not bawled. but the stitches were the kind that dissolves over time & that’s good ’cause i didn’t want to be in a doctor’s office after that.

@Screwy & nimur: you both definitely have a lot of catching up to do. lol. there’s your reading for the week. hahaha…

@evann: I’m not answering you, I’m too agrieved from my computer crashing!sobs @ loss of 98 songs, 1 film, 1 show, 3 playlists waiting and Kina’s that I’d just started up whilst following natural insticts from your errand and 1 click later from video auto change and presto, lost my part way through answer 2u too:..( BAHAA so wouldn’t have lost everything within chrome, so, no, I’m in a sulk – so there! Besides, the family ought to be able to tell you about it and then spank me over this, so take this :P and I might get spanked some more;) no not enough ;PPP

@evann:

Nope, Arlington, Virginia as in cemetery, as in DC suburb, as in 24/7 rush hour traffic.

@anonymous sabafa argh & suchlike:

Skip the quack, go right to the head man. If that doesn’t work, go with the flow. Heard the whole hoard, not a rotten apple in the bunch. No danger foreseen, let them laugh.

@evann:

I’m so not pressing that link and you can tell maryanne how you’ve forced my jimmy lip back out of retirement! Now wheres that pacifier? Cool, still dangling from dungarees, now where me blankee? I bet it is still under the table from last time, no wait, that’s the dogs – ewe!

@sabafa: “wise indeed fellow sir, wise indeed heehee…” (AlexPham, 2008)… what he said ;). I don’t know why but I find ‘lassie’ to be such a cute word.

@AlexPham: That was a sad one :(. Oh and my forensics prof told me that Bones was her favourite tv show. I’ve always wondered why and I’ve never had the time actually watch it. Is it good?

@Misa: No way. Ok people, I don’t mean to disgust anyone but I have to ask this. Umm, the bump you used to have, did it feel like excess skin and it would get in the way and it would be very annoying and you with you could just bite it off?? Because I think I have one the inside of my bottom lip(which is kind of weird and scary) and I guess the next time I go to the dentist I’ll ask them to remove it:(.. Now I’m scared.

@Misa:

How on earth did you end up with stitches at a dentists? I’ve heard of them breaking jaws but never cutting someone up = intrigued!

@sabafa: hahah omgosh I’m so sorry. I meant nothing of it, I promise!!!!

@Misa:

Sweet, cool and wise<3

Yawn, stretch. Off to bed. Tomorrow, reality returns. Work. bah!!
Nite all!!

@AlexPham:
i would have suggested “spamalot” but it ended earlier this year.

@sabafa:
arggg… windows movie maker. i ended up reformatting because of it. never again…

@g3mini:
pshhh… you feel old..

@avweije:
hmm.. taking the vocals out of a song..? i dont even know if that’s possible.

@AlexPham:
what did you shoot?

well i’m done with turkey for a while. now i’m looking forward to all the christmas parties and prime rib. why are we always talking about food? haha

@AlexPham, g3mini, & maryanne:

It’s a little weird, but I used to have balut a ton when I was young. Up until I was maybe 6. I do feel bad for the chick, but I’ll just throw it out there that I do eat with the most respect and thanks that he/she provides me with nourishment and delight. There’s almost something really primal about it. I feel like a… oh I dunno… Velociraptor. No one else in my family can eat the chick though.

@Misa: All this talk makes me wanna finally get rid of my wisdom (it’s really bothering me).

Oh geez, I think I’ve said way more than necessary in this comment. Ha!

@nimur: when there’s someone as young as evann in here, i’ll always feel old. lol…

@dro or ryan: my dad love’s that stuff – go figure, he’s half filipino! hahaha.

@Misa: well that tradition is the same except for the computers i usually buy early presents so that i wont forget for christmas.And pics crazy! jk

@maryanne: it is all kool with fbi forensics cases.

@nimur: i shot a 1911 springfield 45 cal and a gloc 22 or 23 idk that my uncle has and it is 40 cal plus it never jammed after 350 bullets.

@thuff7:

I can’t as they all got up and left along with my spirit when I caught the wrong button :0 and got lost in the depths of blahg land :( about an aeon ago – I think I even spotted mama g napping in another dimension;)

@maryanne:

meet, greet and DISCO bowl!!!…to kina songs!!! that would be cool!

which grannis sister would you want on your team? misa – the water polo player, who in her prime, would dunk your head underwater if she had the chance, kina – the long distance runner who can out last you for 10 frames with her mental toughness or emi – the silent assassin?

@g3mini:

can’t find ya – thought you were ‘auddie’

whoa…@dro or ryan:

had flip food once:

lumpia, garlic rice, crispy pata, tadyang ng baka, sisig, bicol express, some eggplant salad (with some salty fish paste…um wasn’t very good), halo halo and some jello with shaved coconut.

i really enjoyed the lumpia, crispy pata and bicol express.

@confused newbie: “auddie”?? on youtube?? i think i’m the “confused” one now. :P

@g3mini:

did someone say bbq? i’ll bring the bacon wrapped beef tenderloins!

@confused newbie: OMG… now i want some halo halo!

@g3mini:

if you look up g3mini under channel, you’ll find ‘auddie’. i thought that was you!

@g3mini:

haha..i didn’t like the halo halo that much. i prefer the red bean drink that you find at chinese restaurants and at the boba places.

@confused newbie: ok… so who’s got the menu going for this virtual bbq?? :D

maybe thuff7??

@g3mini:

virtual bbq? flights to vegas are cheap right now! let’s have a kina fan gathering/bbq in sin city!!!

@confused newbie: i love halo halo, but i gotta make my own. i take out some & add others. geez, seriously, stop with the good stuff… haha… now i don’t know if i want halo halo or a boba tea.

@confused newbie: i’m all for it… and if you all come, i get to play tourist again down on the strip!!!! my home is open to you all! wouldn’t that just be something else, yeah?

@g3mini:

maybe i just had a bad experience with my halo halo. i’ll have to give it another go.

wow.. so many comments.. :D from snow flakes to balut.. lol.. hope everyone had a great holiday and the weekend. wish i could spend more time on the boards.. busy busy busy.. :(

@maryanne:

Then marry a Scot and become an even cuter lassie than noo by glowing through hearing it cast aboot thee broad aen lang especially when in competition agains the likes of these:-

@confused newbie: yeah, try making your own. that way you get it just the way you like.

@Code2mind: i was beginning to think confused newbie and i were the only ones still awake here! lol… though i don’t think we’ll get 600 comments before the next vid, i think that’s what we were aiming for… half is still good!

@g3mini:

yeah it would be. if i was as rich as the donald, i would fly this whole group to mission viejo, book a conference room at a 5* hotel, have a kina concert just for all her fans here and then take the group to six flags and ride the coasters the next day!!!

@confused newbie: ahhh… if only. wishful thinking, yeah?

@g3mini:

it is wishful thinking but you can never say never…in my opinion

@confused newbie: yeah, i guess… okay, maybe then, someday!

@g3mini:

well maybe everyone just pays their own way and we’ll watch her perform at a park…

@thuff7:

you think the record can be shattered? we need more n00bs!!!!!!

that’s cool that you pdf’d that mother of all blogs. perhaps kina could give out autograph copies of it with her new cd.

@CONFUSED sabafa:

let me get this right…you got confused by the confused one? hahaha…so that makes you the confusee and i the confuser???

305 & counting….

@maryanne:

dang! i was watching kina’s apology vid again (the video thumbnail for that one is just too cute!) and read some of the recent comments – WOW! talk about MEAN!!! someone hold me back…aaronmonto is going to get an earful from me!!!!!!!!!!

@ Newbs: I like the way you think!

wow… Mama G, you’re up pretty late. then again, don’t think you have a bed time. lol… must’ve been that nap you had earlier that’s keeping you awake at this hour.

all right… it’s off to bed for me.

catch you all later.

Well, I was referring to your wanting to fly everyone out for a concert, not the defending Kina’s honor… but come to think of it, I like that sentiment as well :)

@Mama G:

thanks! kina never gave up on her dream so i’ll keep dreaming my dream.

@g3mini:

halo halo….haha, not even that can keep you up uh??

yeah, it’s late…two more kina vids and then it’s off to dreamland for me too.

@Mama G:

that comment was beyond ‘constructive criticism’…like seriously!!!

i’d like to find that aaron and give him a few good slaps to the back of the head (like benny hill used to do to that old guy…hahahaha)

@nimur:

So now tis you who is newly wizened to microISsoft, so sad and little wonder that William Tell did shoot his first apple to a tree lest its supporter did try to shaft he! But, no 1 is perfect, watch this guff:-

and then and only then, look to my name in the comments and the reply to it for proof:)

@confused newbie: ok… so, i had to see those comments. some people… *shakes head*. another reason to send the angry mob… lol. maybe a real reason this time >> since i thought someone punched Misa in the mouth (the stitches)! lol….

Too Soon- Original *Available on iTunes*

‘We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.’ HMMM:/

@evann:

It’s strange, but I don’t have any record deals in yet, so for now I will keep posting to this blog :P

@nimur:

Yes, removing vocals is possible, I did a search and found some software, but I was mistaken, I would actually like to keep the voice and remove the guitar bit, so I can play to somebody singing (I can’t sing at the same time I play). For now I can make some vids, add effects and text so I’m happy.

@everyone:

good morning from holland! (now for some coffee)

@evann: btw, thx for that Kina (live performance) link, nice to see :)

@all:
just something so cute I had to share, I’ve got the tiniest of ponds in my garden, its about 1.5m by 0.5m or about 4 by 2 foot (not accurate, but gives an idea) and I just had to shoo off a couple of ducks!

It started last week, when at 1 point there were 4 ducks sitting in the pond, dipping their heads down for drinks, lol

They hardly even fitted in there! And now today it was return of the ducks, but I got there first and shoo’d them off :P so at least my fish (2 of them, sponge and bob) will be safe!

I might have to put some fencing around it, hmm

@confused newbie:

Unless mama g has some sort of double negative type trick up her sleeve to save me or mahaybe thee

SWING US OUT OF THE BALL PARK MAMA G
Its’ nearly 8am for me, I’ve gone straight through again, so itz’ looking good for the record, as it’s only just getting to be about the food this, so between that subject and you’re having a go about grammers, spellings and; punctiation, this blahg cud easiest beast the last rekord, but I should bow out b4 I am no mawr, quote the heaven ever mure:/

So, that should be enough to get the blood boiling should you wish to turn a little rosy Mama G;)

Cute Lemon/Rose reason not been mentioned as far as I know, but check out the mix of complex and simple forms combined with the closely loose complementary colours that give each other a little extra zing and add on the similarish hues also being present to emesh the plausibility of the object as something which could be imagined as being truly generic and Kina might have then have the answer!

PS Don’t say you’ve not had enough time to step forward with a reason blahgers, I’ve bitten my lip since the post, but essentially, you now have something else to also continue the blahg ever forward to a new record and lets face it as I’m a little more than half asleep, and not seen the video for a couple of days, I could easily have put something down to disagree with or make jest about, whatever, I’ll probably let you get away with murder over it and not be bothered, subjectivity and all that jazz:P

@avweije:

You meant shoe horned them out, right?

Finally, why not have a competition about say, pinning down the times and total amount of times you can view a likeness of Kina/Kina’s mannerisms within the following video:-

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bGfl4FSPwVc

Pausing is not only totally allowed, but possibly even necessary for some to be truly noticed:)

Oh! and did I mention that some images are of the uncloathed variety, so neck up only viewing of Kina likenesses is of course a prerequisite behaviour for the kina nation;)

0900HRS CLOCKING OFF TEMPS

@sabafa: I wouldn’t dare do that! They are so cute, I just want to save the fish, I might have to repopulate our oceans from my pond one day.

And saba, is it me or was that a vid of Gaugin?

PS:

Still no record deals :( must be the timezone difference, I’ll give the US a few more hours to wake up.

@ Mama G / Dr G:
I´d like to hear your point of view concerning Kina´s career. We´ve seen the videos of your daughters as children, performing and singing… and every parent believes his/her child is the talented one… but when did you realize that Kina might actually be good enough to do this professionally? What were your feelings when she started pursuing her career after college? I know you were very supportive, but when Kina started on such an unpredictable path, you must have had some worries?

okay so im probably a little lat on this topic but im going to make a comment anyway:

i just read the comments on the apology video and GEEESH! craziness.. i hope kina never hasto see them because these people are just hating for the sake of hating!! why i oughtta!!- rawr its really obnoxious how rude people can be when kina sincerely apologized to everyone

but major props to those on the front lines who argued against them!!! YAYA for you guys =D

@maryanne: It was less of a skin flap and more of a hardened sphere stuck under about 5 layers of skin. What you’ve got sounds odd, though, so yes, good idea to get it checked out.

@g3mini: what in the world is halo halo?

@avweije: Aww, you should have taken a picture!

@evann: Yeah, people will say some pretty terrible things when safe behind a shroud of anonymity. Thanks, internets.

:rubs his eyes:
:puts on glasses:
:sees a kina-zillion overnight posts:

Wow, you guys rock!! Sabafa, hope ur are getting some sleep now.

@evann:
@g3mini:
@confused newbie:

Of course I had to read the “Apology” comments myself.

:bursts into YouTube post with saber drawn:

Well, not as bad as I thought. First, be sure to view the comments by hitting the “View all 216 Comments” link because that lists the responses in order and nests the responses to the comment they are replying to.

So most of the expletive-containing comments are arguments between ):people:( and not directed at Kina. Only two or three are offensive to her. But those posters are sociopaths and their choice of language shows how trivial they are. So in that context, there is no need to get worked up.

:sheaths his weapon:

Since Kina has a degree in Social Sciences/Psych, she will know quite well that given the chance to comment, one or two very rude people out of 216 is a very low number–statistically–given the fundamental nature of YouTube posters (complete anonymity, cowardly cowering behind the shelter of their ISP firewall, spewing out hatred to compensate for their own miserable lives haunted by their own social shortcomings).

So Kination, given that Kina has stepped into the fray herself replying to comments with good humor, sincerity and a peaceful demeanor, I think she is quite capable of separating the wheat from the chaff. I suggest we maintain our dignity and don’t dignify those ignoramuses by taking the time out of our good conversations to respond.

Love conquers hate and the best response I can think of is to repeat what we have said again and again, that we totally love Kina, she had absolutely nothing to apologize for and we are devoted to supporting her in whatever manner we can!

<3 <3 <3

@Misa: I actually did take some pictures, I have them on my hyves page, let me check.

Here, this should get you there: Duckling Photos

Just read the comments, they are not too bad considering the amount of replies.

@avweije:

Relax over the shoe horning, it was a j/k(:joke;) but I’m so hoping that your fish are not of the golden type, like I seem to remember that they are, as if you do plan on repopulating the oceans it is preferable that this type make it no further than the fresh water of a river and no matter what fish they are, watch out for King, gull and Heron types of attack too which can also include having to net the sides of railings as well as the top, plus don’t forget the likes of cats, over sexed frogs causing injury/death or even others expiring in there like a dozy mouse thinking he a vole/rat, etc or even poachers as has also happened to moi more than once – oh koi can they be troublesome to keep = good luck!

Regarding Kina images, WHoA:/ how did she manage that then?

Talk about connections and being able to outlive a fan base through change of career!

Joking aside, maybe spelling the artists name could also be a part of the bit of fu/andom that could help reach a new record comment count a titch if entertained upon, but loosely speaking, yes you’re right = you pick up the first glass of wine and if you spot a red dot, sorry tis sold;)

Oh and don’t forget, group show rights apply in the blahgs, so all may guide, especially as I still can’t open one of my eyes after being awoken to a barking titches call of duty, yar, Long John Silver type closing this comment off.)

@Misa:

That sounds like what is termed a church mouse!

@sabafa: they are very funny looking lil black fish with eyes that pop out, and they have nice fins.

I will take some close up pics sometime, I might even have them on my hyves page (mentioned in a post above), although I don’t know if those pics are visible to guests at the moment.

@Misa:
That’s why I tend to not read them, or write to them!

@Misa: “halo” is the tagalog word for mix. halo halo is a mix of many things; shaved ice, ice cream, fruits, red beans, other good stuff.
This is halo halo!
of course, i take out some stuff & add some stuff (like, jackfruit! i’m not a fan.)
so here’s a more “westernized” version of the dessert:
Halo Halo Recipe
& if you like and can find it, i usually substitute the strawberry gelatin with what they call “nata de coco” (coconut gel) and vanilla ice cream with ube ice cream. & instead of any ol’ shredded coconut that you might find in the baking section of your store, i prefer “macapuno” strings or shreds. it’s preserved sweetened coconut. that means you would have to find an asian specialty store.

@thuff7: trying to reach 600?? maybe?? lol. just a couple hundred more posts to go… lol. “I suggest we maintain our dignity and don’t dignify those ignoramuses by taking the time out of our good conversations to respond.” << *i totally agree*

wow… didn’t mean to post long!

@avweije: awwwwwww :)

@avweije: i counted 7 ducks. did they all try to fit in the pond?? *cute* but poor fishies!!!

@avweije:

very cool!! what a nice back yard!!

I suspect they are just looking for a bath and a drink of water. Most ducks are herbivores, and they could do damage to submerged plants. That could effect the oxygen level in your pond and indirectly impact your fish. If you notice the plants disappearing and/or your fish being sedentary and spending most of their time near the surface, try a small aquarium aerator pump to oxygenate the water. (if you haven’t already)

Wow, enjoy the company! Resist the urge to give them people food, they can’t digest it!!!

@thuff7:

I wish, but getting to view/listen to Kina did ease me off to sleep as per usual, I so love going to bed with her, lullabied to sleep by her, and, when the dogs allow it, awoken by her<3 plus, excepting certain obvious perks that could be had with the physical presence of Kina, I reckon that I couldn’t be better served by the real Kina in such ways, (*************** ) I’ve censored the obvious ending that lay withing the brackets, as it held too obvious a double meaning to have allowed it to be alluded to!

@thuff7:

how about bread?

@g3mini:

thanks for the halo halo recipe

@avweije:

Sound cute and non sea worthy by description and somehow or other, my computer seemed to think hyves, or your site at least, to be ok to allow the viewing of8O = so shocking to be able to view another area of the internet world other than here and You Tube, especially from a link! Anyway, the ducks (:officially cute:) looked quite shocked that they were not being directed to the larder, especially that stumped looking one of the seven;)

Oh &

@ Misa

Twould also be cool if the videos would remain playing and not reset/refresh each time a comment is made, as otherwise it becomes redundant whilst blahgging sorry to say so, but meant well of course, hopefully good will come of it for us all<3the idea please Misa8x

@Misa: cute huh!

I felt bad sending them off, but I figured I had to otherwise they would consider this their new home or something :P

We have a big pond close by where the ducks live, some chickens too, kids often go there to feed them bread.

Awhile back, they were cleaning out the pond or something, and the ducks must’ve gotten confused and ended up in my humongous pond.

@g3mini: gladly not all 7, when 4 had entered the pond I felt it was time to end their little bath.

@thuff7: I don’t have a pump in there yet, and would like to try without, so far it’s going okay, just have to see how the plants go during winter. As for the nice backyard, thanks :) I do enjoy working out there, I enjoy cooking a lot also and am growing my own herbs (11 or 12 different kinds), some fruits and have tried potatoes, lettuces, chilli’s and peppers this summer (not all successful, but still fun).

think I might have a pentatonic scale of cheese tonight

PS

You were able to access other photo albums too I think right? There is another called Garden Pics, containing some.. dun dun dun.. garden pics (who’da guessed) for those interested

@confused newbie:

Well, thanks, but I just had a ciabatta and it was yummy.

Ooohhhhh, you meant for the ducks!! ;-D

Well, it’s fun to feed them and it gets them excited and keeps them quacking for more, but they are probably better off eating their natural diet as it is balanced for their nutritional needs. Also, the herbivores may lack the digestive enzymes needed for some people food and that can cause all kinds of problems, blockages, infections, etc.

Feeding wildlife frequently creates a dependence that can be disastrous for them if that source of food suddenly stops and they have no alternative.

@confused newbie: no worries… try making the halo halo your own. take out the tastes you don’t like & add more of what you do. it’s the way to go.

@avweije: that last picture is way cute. looks like they’re a little bummed… “aww… shucks! okay okay, we’ll leave!” lol… *too cute*

lol, yes it was very cute, I opened the door and they froze immediately, stared at me, I took some steps, they took some steps back, then I took the picture where they made the faces :P

@g3mini:

For dear Kina’s sake, I don’t propose we reach that 600 mark anytime soon!! We all know her dedication to her fans and that she will feel obligated to read them all when her time is better spent on creating her songs and adorable kina-isms.

OTOH, it is so great to spend time with all the kination posters, so if conversation sends us into the high digits, and it appears a little self-indulgent, it’s only cuz it’s so much fun, and you and the others here are just so awesome.

Don’t Forget “deep breath, dips head, exhales ‘Hmph, I don’t know’” = everyone wants Kina more for sure and ladies without, arm thyselves with such artful ways, they will serve ye well when not abused<3-

333 ?
E333 ?
ES333 ?

PUZZLED STILL ?
WE SHOULDN’T BE !
KINA SAID ‘DON’T ASK’ ?
ARGH DEATH BY TEASING !

I’m away to comfort myself with some ‘FOOD’, y’all do some taking over – good, strong and truely done sounds just fine:)

@thuff7: i know. i know. not really shooting to hit 600, but if we do, i agree with you. it’s awesome getting to ‘talk’ with you all. fun fun fun!

@avweije:

Wow, the herb garden sound terrif!! What a great way to cook!! We’re counting on your contribution to g3mini’s virtual barbecue!!

@g3mini:

Have you tried the bbq grill wok?? We use it all the time and great grilled stir fry (shouldn’t it be called a stir-grill???) Or fav is zucchini slices, sweet onion rings, mushrooms, garlic (natch) all slapped together with olive oil a touch of 5 spice seasoning. Fresh rosemary or thyme is also good. It helps to put it all in a ziplock to meld the flavors. A shot of Pam on the wok helps a lot and a little caution against flare ups when the oil drips on the coals.

@thuff7:

A good job I’ve come back, there were quite a few more in the pipeline:)) I’m glad I did, as

YO DUDE THIS IS KINA’S HISTORY AND SHE CAN READ IT WHEN SHE HAS THE TIME WHICH SENSIBLY WOULD BE AT ANY TIME THAT SUITS HER, RIGHT ENOUGH?

Whatever’s put can be read, what isn’t, plainly can not!

Oh, so well meaning dude I pray and beseech thee do not block her/our history ({8O

@g3mini:

Well said! A spokesperson readying to lead, well, hopefully/:x

Kina…are you still reading this far?

Thanks for the tutorial…you make it look so easy! I loved the sped up version you were doing toward the end of the session…sounded cool! Maybe you could release a sped up version of The Goldfish Song as a B side some day!

Happy recording. Can’t wait to hear it.

@sabafa:

Indeed, which is why your contribution is so clearly needed, and provided when a fresh (if not overly sleep-deprived) perspective is supplied from your good house.

Angles we miss are caught as we foolishly try to square the circle.

Well then. On for posterity and history shall be written.

@thuff7:

YAY A NICELY BLOWN BLUSTER OF PUFFS OF WIND TO SWELL THE SAIL OF THE GOOD SHIP KINA FORWARD TO WHATEVER DESTINY BEFALLS IT -your not only a good knight for mama’s courtly ladies but helmsman too, safe journey to thee, be guided by thy one true star and steer well to her:)

Although previous topic provisions have been little met thus far, and still sleep deprived only more so, I offer you/all a couple of videos to make what you will of them too:-

POSSIBLE NEW SINGING POST FOR MISA IF SHE APES THIS GAL’S CAMERAPERSON TO AVOID THE LIMELIGHTS A LITTLE SHE CAN STILL BE A MASSIVE PRESENCE FOR US ALL & PERHAPS FEEL A LITTLE EASIER FOR IT http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yOyIKAJvHS4

SOMETIMES GOOD IDEAS ARE NOT ONLY GREAT BECAUSE THEY COME FROM KINA http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=IQdcRpwg0eg BUT HERE’S ONE I BLANKED EARLIER

@dro or ryan: haha Velociraptor. Btw, where were you born?

@AlexPham: Oh cool, thanks. I’ll check it out.. one of these days.

@confused newbie: YES!! That would be soo awesome. Hmm, that’s not fair! I can’t choose just one of them. Though ’silent assassin’ does sounds pretty interesting. But no, I can’t choose. It’s like Kina trying to choose what here favourite original song is.

@g3mini: I love halo halo too!! It definitely tastes best when you make your own. Wow you know a lot about halo halo, what’s your nationality/heritage?

@sabafa: ahaha funny. Find me a lad sabafa haha jk! I find the Scottish and Irish accents so cool and hard to imitate. Their music is so nice too. Which reminds me of the Celtic Woman! Loverly music:). Oops, moved from Scottish to Irish :S. Sorry :(.

@Misa: haha yes, very odd. How goes the job front btw?

@FinnFan: Good question.

@JoePike: Yea, I really feel sorry for Kina right now. There’s too much to read :s. I’ll try not to have any long posts anymore.

hey guys! totally m.i.a for a while! how’s everyone??? hope everyone had an awesome turkey day! =] don’t be strangers guys!

whats going on with my pic is it just me or the site is looking kind of different? why isn’t my pic showing up? someone let me know whats up!

@Jess1225:

Hey Jess, welcome back, the gang’s all here depending on the time of day and their time zones. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was awesome, but back to reality. Lucky I have a ton of computer work and will be checking the blog every so often.

@sabafa: Sadly, I don’t control the Youtube aspect of Kina’s digital existence, and as those videos exist as embedded items from Youtube.com, that’s where it’d be controlled from. I don’t even know if auto-loop is an option from YT. :\

@maryanne:

Good rallying cries maryanne, even better posted as 8 individual comments with an eye for the Count de Numero, nudge, n…., wink, w…, say no more! Not being able to imitate is something I can also do, for I also contain viking genes amongst my mutt pool, but have only been known to possess the look of a viking and never the language, other than the name that some thought it apt to use, which was quite spooky really considering geneology was never brought up, but hey ho maybe that’s played a part in still being from these isles and not shunted off/gone in desperation/false promise/etc to lands a new! I’ll let this loose talk remain, but will point out that privacy lies strong within me still, do not hanker/give chase for more or I may decide to dally here no more.

Here’s a good rally cry for ye http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GtvaTK8elHg As fer looking aboot me fer a broad laddie fer ye, jest tho we may, to save being arrested for virtual soliciting, j/k, let this false’n do in his stead: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WLrrBs8JBQo and nae werry aboot dialect slippage, a kilt’s a kilt, a scot’s a scotch irish, many of either were cleared to yon lands through mal blunder/plunder, and nae settled but wandered, just like the following former proof that the irish discovered america, which through ownership dispute have now discovered africa:) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9P6AiICm-jM nae less than a return to their/our roots;))

I’m that tuckered now, that this has taken an age to yield and is now finally paying dividend in bringing on drowsiness at only 2040hours, I can stand my place here this night no more, hopefully I will visit in dreams those of mine whose stone marks their right to fight for independence from tyranny, if not, I shall be more rested or still awake but taking no part my friends – adieu!

@sabafa:

My money (what there is of it) says Misa can outshine this example quite capably, though I would miss her smile if she must shun the spotlight, even if it’s a little black and blue right now!! =D

@sabafa:
i would like a mac, but my pc is fine for now. i am having much better luck with it than you seem to be.
@avweije:
have you not learned anything from kina..? hahaha
@sabafa:
my mother’s uncle had a fairly large koi pond, 1.5m x 5m, with about 20 koi. he had it as long as i can remember. then a few years ago some raccoons found the pond and that was the end of that.
@sabafa:
you can try opening the bla(h)g in 2 widows/tabs. play the video in one and comment in the other. but dont blame me if all you get is a blue screen…
@thuff7:
grill wok? interesting. do you get the same flavor as grilling?

any golfers or hikers here?

fore!

@nimur:

*covers head*

you big dawg needs to stay in the bag!

@maryanne: Job search is paused while I try to work on applications to school, but so far I’ve been swamped with various other types of drudgery. Oy!

@Jess1225: I don’t see your pic, which is odd because you’re logged in. Was it showing up on the blog before or just the forum?

@nimur:

yes, it’s actually shaped like a wok but has the bottom covered with holes about the size of dimes. Mostly, it keeps the veggies from sliding between the grates. You can also cut the veggies smaller so they cook better and get more flavor from the smoke.

I’m stunned.

@Windscale:

Aren’t these ppl amazing??!!!!

@avweije: i wish i had a backyard like that.

@Jess1225: all good

@confused newbie: i hike went to yosemite to hike and a lot of places is offering it here in the valley.

@sabafa: well m’dear lassie(that was said with a scottish accent =))….. that’s quite some extensive research done there hehe. What is your heritage my I ask?

yay account works!

@confused newbie: I used to golf a bit. I still need to see how far each of my irons go though :/.

@nimur: :o, will you look at that. Hole in one ;).

@Misa: Oh cool! What are you going back to school for? Like what are you taking?

@Alexpham:

Cool, glad your gravatar is back so I don’t look so conspicuous with all my posts heheheh =D

What’s up tonight?? Did you say Yosemite!? Love it there, back country FTW!!

nothing much i was just answering newb’s question of hiking i love going to yosemite to hike and gaze at the magnificent landscape.

@thuff7:
i usually cut long strips of zucchini/eggplant with garlic salt, pepper, olive oil; so there isn’t any casualties and i get a good color on them. but i can already see it working well with onions. is it hard to clean?

@maryanne:
unfortunately i was aiming over there…

@confused newbie:

Yes, hiker here! =D

I was told to “go take a hike” and took it literally!! ;D

My Merrell boots have been in the Sierras, Rockies and Appalachians and in a heck of a lot of rivers. Seriously, the Blue Ridge Mountains are the toughest because all the loop trails start at the top and go down. It’s easy to forget that climbing back up is like 3 times the effort, so we always overdo it from the start.

Where do you get to hike?

@nimur:

Ours is a good grade stainless steel. With a little non-stick spray, all I need is to pop it in the dishwasher. The steel also acts as a woks and sizzles things nicely. The juice drips through so the cooking surface stays hotter and they sear better.

Okay, dinner time on the right-hand coast here!!! My mouth is watering!! :P’

@thuff7: dang! thats great hiking haha! =D

@Alexpham:

AP, how are the college applications going?? Getting them out?? Did you go for any early admissions or do they have them in UC schools??

@thuff7: well applied now i just need to wait for an answer and now a days it is done online and a pain to do.

@Misa:

Oo does titch have a good yelp when sleep is much needed, still I did go blank for about an hour’s worth since my last post, so a little good must have come from it (just doesn’t feel it this time aroun (argh despite having just been let out and recieved a bone for reward, she’s just yelped again – will have to go investigate soonish) d as quite often 1 or 2 hours is sufficient through the week and 4 a blessing, the latter hasn’t been present enough of late though!

So sad to hear that, as YT seem to be a flexible law unto themselves, or is it Google/its sort of hiddenish source/thank God there even exists a source to be filtered stuff down to us, so ok I suppose that makes it all cool again and no worries after all:/ as they talk of alterring embeds and show how to, but I’ve continually found that the mouse pointer is not allowed to enter any of it to alter even so much as the size the video is to be played at:.( Plus, where screen click choices are available on, let’s say Kina’s videos, which previously worked in the same fashion upon my channel, they now are stripped of such helpful stuff prior to it making it to my channel and in some portions of the channel are automatically reduced in size too = Kina’s good work brought back to nought in like nano seconds, but with regard to auto looping, I found that if you put the same video at the end of a playlist that you started it with, auto looping would occur:) Right, back to twinkle yap:) Doesn’t Kina look jubbly with the frame behind her in Flume, well a little nearer to cute during the shoulder stretches:))

Finally got my invisible shield and applied it, didn’t come out so great but at least I have some type of cover on my iPhone now. Feels so much less slippery than before I guess thats good and bad.

@nimur: oh…. that’s sad :(.

Oh and for the House and Dexter watchers out there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqiqcKTV5Og <–House
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugxYZhudXDk <–Dexter

Cool huh?

@thuff7:

Heck yes and with nobs on to boot;) To save me stopping my heart with the extra stresses that would occur in looking stuff up, has anyone bothered with the likes of the Kina like video images of a certain shinned artist and other such like inducements?

…in need of CliffsNotes…

@maryanne:

Wow!! That is incredible. Thanks!!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

@Misa: Going for an MBA?

Heard there’s going to be a Uglydoll convention in NY; are you going Misa? I didn’t even know they had conventions for the Uglydoll…

hmmmmm, last post crashed.
okay, that’s two posts that sunk.
:starting to worry:

@nimur:

Thanks 4 info:) I don’t think avweije is likely to get the grim version of the John Candy bin raders, but perhaps there’s a chance of a bear if the poles have taught them to cycle and not locked them and the bikes up like usual, so perhaps no worries there then:/ Besides being gutted, your uncle lost a small fortune that night through not selling them the day before, double heartbreaking. I’ve even had crested newts pop in/out, don’t know how you can protect them when they don’t even stay though! Oo just thought, avweije would probably have to forget about the fish if he also gets hawks/etc before he nets up – that came from picturing John Candy almost being brave with the bat problem, man he could be funny sometimes, shame we lost him – omg flashback of his devlishly flash driving scene in the ‘Your going the wrong way’ film clip:)))))4evamore)

@nimur: Is that how 4 is spealt where you are or maybe just what happens after hearing it?

@thuff7:
yeh my wireless internet seems incredibly slowed ere because of the flurries of KGLOVE.. it took 6 minuets for the homepage to load.. and of course, i sat here as patiently as i ever have because its definitely more than worth the wait

also.. this has only happend on the forum but ive seen my post double sometimes or sometimes my message is blank, which has only happened once so its all good ;) im not really that worried

@AlexPham: Then go squat, become a moving gnome feature and keep the ducks away:D

@evann:

Going for the reply again . . .
Yes, bandwidth blues here tonight.
So sooner or l8r, reply to Johan may appear, may appear twice, may appear in 2 forms, may not ever appear.
But if this one comes in FTW . . .

Yesh!! FTW.
Okie dokie.
Back in the <3 of Kination.

@thuff7:

dang! ap is right. that is some serious hiking.

i just hike locally, nothing as extravagant as you big guy!

if you have any pics, post them here. would love to see them!

@sabafa: haha thx you brightened up my evening lol.

@thuff7: do u no if kina plays on blogtv cause i am watching david choi rite now lol he is funny.

@confused newbie: hey noobs

whoohoo! physics hw brb ugh…=(

@confused newbie:

Naw. Just spent lots of time out in the wild!! Hiking is hiking. Local, far off, whatever. I’d love to stroll down the path with you and AP!!!

I’ll have to dig into the archives. Mostly used my trusty Canon A1 SLR for many years, so boxes of prints, but not as much digital. Someday, I’ll scan ‘em.

Haven’t gone in a while esp. since having the little ones come along. Next summer, they’ll be old enough for day hikes and maybe overnight camps in Shenandoah NP.

@maryanne:

All your research nearly pays a dividend too, I’m a laddie and therefore tis all the more easy to declare that don’t worry about any version of heritage that you might have meant, you’ll not being sharing any be it birthed, acquired, granted, gained, dispersed, or even lost/whatever = oyvez – I soOO gave warning about privacy, try not to loose friends through such overstepping maryanne, tsch! I’ll throw you a bone of friendship, be content to know that the family seat will not become mine, so please don’t do the likes again!

@Alexpham:

AlexPham, do my eyes deceive me or did you go and commit fatherhood??!!

@Alexpham: Dang that’s a great pic:)

no its my little cousin i am not a troubled 18 year old…

@sabafa:
those aren’t pillows…
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fore_(golf)

@Alexpham:
hahaha we all assumed he is yours.. oh geeze!

@confused newbie:

Okay, here’s a new gravatar, that old heron wasn’t about to catch that fish anyways and it’s a new month. This is from top of Skyline Drive in the middle of the Shenandoah Nat’l Park. This is why they’re called the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is near or maybe even on the Appalachian Trail that runs from Georgia to Maine.

This is looking back east towards DC. When the park was built in hte 1900’s, you could see the Washington Monument 150 miles away. Now, it’s a tad hazy. :-(

If ur running Firefox, be sure to get the Zoom plugin!!!

@thuff7: Don’t worry about it, it happened to myself earlier, mind you (Aw, Kina’s just done that ‘I don’t know’ bit in Don’t Forget = separate window up like nimur mentioned;) am almost in heaven watching/typing, and if titch is trying to get me there ready for her, I’ll slap on a walk ban for a bit;)) it helps to remind one to get a drink every now and then!

@Alexpham:

tehehehe

@thuff7: No problemo. I wish I could draw like that hehe. His other drawings are great too :).

@sabafa: I knew you were a laddie, I was just testing you…. (wow, thats embarrassing). My apologies good sir if I crossed any line. It wont happen again :S.

Uh-oh, tis a good job Kina’s doing vocals in the studio, as You Tubes displaying that old spoiler for kina’s uploads of:-

‘YouTube will be undergoing scheduled maintenance, starting around 7:00 pm PDT.’

yeayea laugh hahaha! it is sooooo contagous haha!

@Alexpham: haha!…what?!?

@maryanne: everyone thought the baby in my pic was mine lol so yea…

@Alexpham: oh haha I’m slow. Awwww.

@Alexpham:

Thanks!

Have you seen that video where David’s sitting on a table at, erm, I think it was the You Tube Live gathering, as over in a distant corner, sat alone, was a young lady that was just a little too far away to tell if it was Kina or not, but was similarish = just wondering if you/anyone knows if it was her or not?

@sabafa: wat was the title i might have seen it i shall check.

*rubs his eyes* what baby on what pic?

@Alexpham:

hey ap, what’s up with you? how about them lakers?

@thuff7:

i still see the heron.

@avweije: mine on the leftside

@Alexpham: okay that’s odd, I see a small pic on your right, but no baby in it

@avweije: hahaha!

@avweije: … that’s kind of creepy :s. The baby is the little thing with the little yellow sweater!

@maryanne: hahaha! =D

me too… i don’t see any change in your pics!

sorry… MIA for a little.
i was preparing dinner and i cut my finger.
OUCH!!!!!

but i’m back… geez, lotsa reading!

ah now I see it! I had to hold ctrl and press refresh to get it.

so who is holding Alex in that pic? (hehe, joke)

@thuff7:

Oh aye, does your Mrs know about this! Haha only joking, but while talking that way, do you remember that there used to be a commenter named loller? I’m pretty sure that I’ve heard that funny/peculiar comedian from the old Carry on Films, Kenneth Williams, say that that name was used for a male that undertook, erm, lets say, that most particularly pleasurable, although threateningly toothsome activity more popularly undertook by, erm, lets say, you know what a size 8 and upwards wearer is, well, talk about making a statement – sheesh!

Oyvez, getting sleepy again!

@avweije:

thanks, it worked!

is that ap? i can see thuff7’s new pic too.

@avweije: ahh yes, thanks! i see it too!

cute little one there, AP!

y’know what, we may very well reach 600 hundred tonight. i’m just saying…

@avweije: hehehe

@confused newbie: yup thats me in grey

@Alexpham: figured that was you in the gray & not the yellow shirt & bib. lol

@g3mini: hahaha!

i wish i can chill here all night until kina comes on

@Alexpham: the reality is that she may not come in as sleep may overcome her since she’s in the studio. but yes, it’d be nice.

@maryanne:

Accepted.

Please try and remember the following whilst thinking about applying a test:-

Tests are very often testy things!

@g3mini:

tehehehehe

sorry, I can’t stop giggling about AP!!
I gotta say, he does have that proud papa grin thing going!!
;-DDDDD

AP, it’s good to see you 4real!!
No kidding, cute kid!!

@Alexpham: mhmm, same. But it’d be fine if Wednesday was the Monday again :).

@sabafa: Thank you. Haha wise words friend, wise words.

@Alexpham:

yeh her tweet from an hour ago said shes still in the studio.. i don’t think she’ll be on tonight, i have a feeling the blog will be a little delayed to because of the intensity and the general merriment of the studio

well brb in two hours

@thuff7: he does, huh? i’m talking about that grin.

so how’s your evening going??

@maryanne:

Hah!! After that I just had to go watch a House on the DVR.
Gr8 ep. Guardian Angels. Cosmetician working for undertaker hallucinates dead people. Kutner digs up a body for a brain biopsy. Amber plays the CTB and owns 13. Cole punches out House and House has to pay $100 to Cameron who then owns House! =D

@g3mini:

Gr8 G3. I ended up telecommuting again today, so lots of work got done, no driving and I could keep Bla(h)g up on a #2 browser tab. Just tucked the boys into bed, now can chill here with you and the happy, happy kination clan.

How’s Vegas 2nite? Hope it’s gr8 for U2!!! :)
Sending good vibes your way!!

@thuff7: ahh… telecommuting. must be nice. vegas is vegas. as i write here, the non-stop sound of sirens wail. seems to sound off more often this time of year. but all is well, with me :)

@Alexpham: Oh, erm, rubs neck, my computer had 1 of those 500 error problems when I clicked on the live feed at exactly the right time, and so I didn’t get to see any until a flood of videos came in, but I think it was might have been the one where a fake gun was used to schock people who pulled the trigger expecting only a lighter fuel flame to emerge, if that’s of any help, maybe a nahaigi one:/

@thuff7: haha thanks for the recap ;). Aww I miss Cole.

@confused newbie:

It is the stalk you need to see if you’re after a baby m8 )

off to play some rock band.

be back in a bit!

@avweije:

OMG, does that mean he’s lost the baby whilst looking up something for me? Oh, what guilt I’ll feel if so!

J/k:P

@maryanne:

Speaking of, I get a hint of something between Foreman and 13 coming up.
Trailer has her as part of Foreman’s study on Huntington’s.

@g3mini: New record even more possible then eh?

Is your keyboard getting becoming red as you type, you might end up with some sticky keys afterwards if it is, not that I’m prompting anything, but imagine how cool that image would be for proving how dedicated Kina’s fans are?/!

@sabafa: new record?? i think i’ve officially taken the title “confused”

“confused g3mini” lol… lost!

@thuff7: Haha No. Way. Thought I’d never see the day.

@maryanne:

Yeah, but . . .
Did you ever think you’d see Amber and Wilson? Huh??!!
That came out of nowhere!!! A real sucker punch. ;-)
Stranger things have happened.
Anyway, just a guess.
Have to check out a spoiler site, maybe.

@evann:

Yeah, I think the tweets are leading that way, but know what???

@kina – It’s OK!!!

@all – anyone care to speculate on where the cello fits in? Which song, which part?? I say strings on “Message” and pizzicato on the bum bums!!

@Yohan: I agree. We need a Cliff’s Notes of this here blog :)

It’s quite possible that until this cd is complete, Wednesday may become the new Monday….

@Mama G: and wednesday’s are just fine… kina’s well-being first always!!

this may very well reach 600 (i say again)!

@Mama G:

People here are: eating, cooking, playing golf, hiking, watching “House”, worrying about Misa’s lip, wondering if AlexPham is secretly a father, looking at Dutch ducks, having fun, loving Kina, not worrying about when she posts

oh, and wondering if sabafa can ever get some sleep

@thuff7: Very true, never expected that one to happen.

@kina: Wednesday is definitely fine. Please don’t stress about the video. It’s hard enough trying to keep up with all this reading.

@thuff7: leave it to you to make sure everyone is in the know. you’re too awesome! :P

@g3mini:

Well, secretly, I was always with you on that one, hoping we’d go for the big 700, but sssshhh. don’t want to force the issue. . . ;)

@thuff7: wow… 700. ok… it’ll be our secret. LOL

@thuff7: and @g3mini: haha I’ll pretend I didn’t see that. Well I’m off to bed, good night/good morning kination!

@maryanne: good night, maryanne. sweet dreams!!!

700??????????????

whatcha talking about thuff7? *gary coleman*

@maryanne:

Yup, me two. East coast time. Big day tomorrow. See you all in the AM. Left coast friends – enjoy your evening!!

“Half a league half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Kination, Rode the six hundred: ‘Forward, the Blog Brigade!’” (sorry Alfie)

I didn’t read the thread, but Youtube is doing maintenance at the moment, so even if Kina wasn’t in the studio, she couldn’t post a video. So feel free to pretend Youtube is screwing us over!

@confused newbie: shhh… that’s supposed to be a secret. hahaha… :P

@thuff7: good night, thuff7. hope your day is awesome tomorrow. we will keep on keeping on!

@Gene Parmesan: haha… yeah, that works! let’s do that!

@blew: yeah, they’re pretty hard to apply, luckily I’d done it before (but the iphone has so many odd curves!). Some of the bubbly bits go away after a few days/week, and it does affect the grippability (better for my butterfingers).

@maryanne:

Thank you was/am feeling sluggish again, when I posted ‘New record even more possible then eh?’ to g3mini and then awoke from a doze!lol SoO not the way to go!hehe.

@J.C.: Oh no way! What on earth would someone do for several hours at an uglydoll convention other than read each of their tags one by one and chuckle? And nope, no business for me, but it is a master’s program.

@g3mini:

hey! it’s my halo halo friend!

@thuff7:

hey bro…you’ll probably read this tomorrow morning but i would LOVE to go on a hike with you and ap! just another dream that i’ll look forward to! (had one with g3mini last night)

@Anonymous: haha… new title for me?? the “halo halo friend”. lol… how are you??

@thuff7:
hey yea i had a good turkey day =]
family came to my house cuz we
had turkey dinner here ugh but
i had to work my second job
at the all the very next day
for black friday aahhh!!! so i worked
there from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m.
then rushed to my other job and
worked there from 10:30 to about 7 pm
ugh so i was sooo tired!!! haha so
how have you been???

@Misa:

hey misa no i had my pic on the blog too….. you prob don’t remember it but it was me in the trunk of a car lol, but no the forum is working i can log in and i see my pic, but i don’t have a log in for the blog, like the log in link is not showing up i just have a white blank to my right…. it’s not my comp cuz i went to my friends house and it looked the same…. =[ am i doing something wrong?

@thuff7: sorry about your posts being swallowed up by the abyss. I have to upgrade wordpress AGAIN but haven’t had the chance, and it always seems as if Akismet gets a bit overzealous once one’s wordpress install becomes out of date. no clue why those posts would have disappeared since they had zero links in them. Perhaps it was the formatting–I’ve seen a lot of spam comments that just have line after line of urls or random pill varieties or whathaveyou.

@g3mini: Lol, apologies if it wasn’t you that I’d spotted had come back from slicing up some human meat in the kitchen earlier on;)

@Alexpham:

WHAT?? You’re a DAD??? CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

oops, sorry!! the last two anonymous was me! i’m on moz!!

i meant last THREE!!! oops again!!!

i’m really not trying to get us to 700 faster!!!!

@sabafa: ahh… it was me but i was a bit confused ’cause i’d just posted about rock band. thought it might have something to do with that. my finger – well, it’s still there, but it hurts still… boohoo :( haha… and no, my keyboard is not red!!! ;)

@confused newbie: haha.. i figured since you called me the halo halo friend. how’s it going??

@Alexpham:

hey how was your turkey day =]

@confused newbie: sure you aren’t trying to get to 700! teeheehee… :P

@sabafa:

stalk??? what?? come again?

@misa

i figured it out…. feel like a total dork ^_^

@Alexpham:

hey sorry man! i was reading from bottom up!!! you and cous – still a great pic!

@g3mini:

i’m good! i didn’t come for the video (sorry kina, it’s not all about you..haha). i came to talk to you all.

@Alexpham:

@thuff7:

I’ll lay down some hazardous guesses:-

a) Cello case

r2d2) The pit
&
3) Any where large enough

@jess1225: no worries… i’ll figure it out. (i think). :)

is anyone going to watch yes man? i miss jim carrey hopefully this comedy is funny.

i’m just bugging kina! but seriously, i didn’t come for the video. kina – whenever works for me!! in the meantime, i’ll just watch miley cyrus – yeeeeewwwww!!!

@g3mini: what do you need help on???

@Alexpham:

NOT physics!!!!!! course from hell!!!!

@Alexpham: AP, come to my rescue!!! lol… i need help with that over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> my picture.

@confused newbie: Miley Cyrus? ugh i dislike her cause of hype of every little thingshe does and everyone gocks over her everyday. so did you go shopping on blackfriday?

@jess1225:

is that you in the trunk…waiting outside someone’s house…before you POUNCE to collect their money??!!!

@Alexpham:

no i didn’t go shopping – i didn’t want to DIE!

@g3mini: k it isnt showing huh? try going to gravatar and then add the pic again and wait 5-10 minutes again

@Alexpham: yes, i want to watch that. there’s so much i want to watch. i just watched eagle eye & changeling & i think i wanted to watch all the movies that were previewed. like benjamin button, gran torino, the soloist, seven pounds… i can go on forever.

@confused newbie: haha i ent to the irvine spectrum and man it was packed lol

@thuff7:

Like you, I know 1 sure thing to bring it on, and it is something along the lines of what’s in this video, which You Tubes spoiling has got in the way of being able to send it to Kina thus far, soO goes along with feeling sluggish too, so, no looking y’all now, ya hear, it even has a flower in it too, aw:-

@Kina http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GSW9kWIRCOQ

hey…any of you twitter?? or tweet? i find that kinda strrrrange….

@g3mini: the recent movie i saw was role models it was hilarious!

@confused newbie: twitter idk wat it is?

@Alexpham:

to this day, the best all time comedy is probably DUMB AND DUMBER!!

first time i watched it, i teared up soooooo bad in the theatre….laughing my arse off!

@Alexpham:

check it out on twitter.com. i believe that’s the site.

@Alexpham:

is step brothers any good?

@confused newbie: haha that was good too. haha! my favorite part was the headlights lol

@confused newbie: its funny but thought it was some wat dumb at certain parts.

i do notice one thing on here though. where are all the former n00bs?

they come in here when the video is posted, say ‘great vid kina’, and then they’re gone for the rest of the week.

will WE ever become like them? stay tune……

@confused newbie: idk haha well i guess we are bored easy lol

@Alexpham:

i loved the part when the old lady took all his stuff.

‘Hey, I guess they’re right. Senior citizens, although slow and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. I’ll be right back. Don’t you go dying on me!’

hello!!!

back to work.

bye!!

hello from studio????

@Alexpham: ok… i’ll do the gravatar thing later, if ever.

@confused newbie & @Alexpham: you both in CA?? *pardon the sudden curiosity*

@g3mini: i see a pic yay!!! =) and yes im in LA (the sanfernando valley) to be exact and newb is in the oC im guessing…

@kina: well, hello to you too, Kina!! makes me wonder if you had the time to read all 500+ comments (which i doubt, at least not yet). hope the studio time is going well!

@g3mini:

we’re in the new blog…

@g3mini:

those your kids?

@maryanne: Stamina issues then ay;)) Pleasant dreams, somebody’s got get some, my not so titchie dog took over the keep me busy duties for a couple more hours worth of trying to kill me!

@Alexpham

Quick, give the baby back before you start not sleeping day and night bro if you’re staminas the least bit questionable, some peeps say they can be worse than my dogs have been of late:O

@Alexpham: wow! i didn’t think i did it right. so i quit! lol… i guess it did work!

@confused newbie: no no no… not my kids. it’s an old photo i dug up… me, my younger sis & bro. i’ll change it soon enough.

@sabafa: hahaha! good one

@g3mini:

Haha, next mealtime then for the top dedicated Kina fan bleeding finger tips through doing so many comments;)

@sabafa: hahaha…. *too funny* see you over at the next blog…

@confused newbie: Haha, looking back at my comment it does come across that it was in the non virtual world!

Looks like you’re up for trailblazing the blahg, so you never know, I might even get to do another dozing session – hopefully asap – but then comes the problem of refinding where I was up to = argh no wonder sleep’s hard to ease into/stay long enough within;)

@confused newbie: What about when they leave a comment because the videos up but state they can’t watch it till later = WHA!!!!!!!!!!! I so don’t compute that one, I’m half expecting to come across a ‘First’ comment when the videos not even present, oh hang on that needs modifying because there are blahg’s without a video too, but I’ll not bother as I guess you’ll know what I mean:/ but a fan is a fan is a fan, so don’t knock em, 1 day we might find out why it is so by becoming 1 that does it I guessSHRUGS

@confused newbie: NO0o how does Kina manage to come and go without us knowing = KINA PRESENT ALARM NEEDED MISA – perhaps ! on repeat until she’s gone, which doesn’t mean that she gets killer amounts of attention from us, but that we can feel that bit more blessed for that little while;)

@confused newbie: THANKS! Didn’t spot it happen, maybe I’ve gone blind in this blahg;))

@Misa:

Thanks, Misa. Not a problem at all!! Certainly not important. As someone said before, it gives the site a little personality. Plus, it’s a little fun to try and figure it out on your own. I saw the 3 posts in the spam queue on the dashboard and figured they were mine, so the trick was to figure out why. As soon as I reformatted the post, it ran fine. So something triggered it. Short sentences and lots of (p)(/p) tags, maybe??

Anyway, all in all, the site works great, so no worries!! But again, thanks for being the awesome admin!!! “You’re not just an admin, you’re also a member!”

@sabafa: Oy! Sabafa! Let’s try to keep this blog rated PG, shall we? ;)

@Misa: LOL (uglydoll). Well, good luck with the master’s…still staying in the east coast?

@Misa: No fair:( I was so trying to do that, as you surely did notice, as I know Kina likes it kept clean + minors about, but, yes, sorry, will try harder, no wait, might be best to just try to avoid, so hopefully that’s a clinched deal then Misa = spat on hand and holding it out for you to reciprocate<3

@sabafa: Hee hee, it’s okay, no harm actually meant. I just thought it was funny. My only real concern was all the “related videos” thumbnails that popped up. Sorry I didn’t catch this earlier, too, as there are actually times when I’m away from my computer. ;) /shakes sabafa’s hand, if he’s still around.

@J.C.: Nah, looking at northern california :)

@Misa: Ah…Berkeley…gambate! At least you’ll be closer to home :)

@thuff7:

haha aww sounds like my usual turkey day…. only had one turkey day this year =[ blah but still it was nice to see one part of my fam =]

@confused newbie:

haha no that was someone throwing me into the truck for calling them! haha jk jk just us crazy people getting some excitment on our break haha

HI KINA ! =]

Hi, kina

I have a silent guitar for circumstances of Japanese residence.
we can not play guitar so loudly.

Let me show you my silent guitar at my Website i wrote the URL in upper box.

It was a great tutorial, was very useful for me! Currently play it in standard tuning most the time, but this vid really showed me how useful it is to change the tuning now and then. Start getting the hang of it :P Thanks!
