Am I A Hoarder?

I was recently watching a special on TV about hoarding. This issue hasn’t really been brought to my attention before and I’ve never really known about it so I was very fascinated with the entire special. Hoarding is basically when people have problems with accumulating an excess of something.

It’s when you continue collecting and find it hard to toss even one item out, even until the items pile up. It’s definitely a disorder that can handicap your life. Some people, like Lindsay Lohan, like to shop so frequently that their entire house looks like a swap meet, and not in a good way! 

The show focuses on an elderly lady who has so much junk piled up in her house, she actually bought the house next door to fill up with more crap! Her house became too overwhelming that she couldn’t invite people over anymore and she could barely walk inside her own house. Her daughters are aware of the situation but they accept it as if it’s just a minor quirk. 

The ladies all go out together every weekend and as a bonding experience, they shop. Shop for clothes, jewelry, makeup, perfume, etc. They all love shopping with one another and it started to become an expected hobby.

One of the daughters pointed out that instead of having a hobby where they are bringing stuff in, why not have a hobby where you can bring stuff out?

It really made me think about my own personal quirks and whether I too, am a hoarder. I do love shopping and seem to like collecting a lot of things. My rooms do tend to be on the messier side not because I’m a person that is used to clutter, but more because I don’t have room to put all my stuff and excessive clothing. 

So the answer is no, I don’t think I’m a hoarder. I give all my unneeded clothes to my cousins and to people who can’t afford more clothing. I try to have garage sales online and in person, so I can get rid of as much stuff as I can. I definitely want to start a yard sale in the near future and just sell everything for like 25 cents to a dollar each item. I just want to get rid of all my clothes as fast as possible!

So I went shopping today with my roommate and I saw a little boutique that I love going to with my sisters! I tried on a few outfits and I literally wanted to buy all of them! (I’m a spontaneous shopper sometimes) But after thinking it through in the dressing room, I realized, I don’t need the clothes and as much as I love them, I don’t need them. We left the mall and I was empty-handed. I was very proud of myself and so was my roommate, knowing how much of a crazy shopper I am.

Then I started thinking about my closet and all my clothes. There are a few essential tops like the basic spaghetti strap and tank tops that you can layer or wear under any outfit. Then you have the few sweaters and jackets that go with any outfits or for any occasions. And of course,there are the outfits you can only wear once, that you will never wear again, and that you will probably have sitting in your closet ’til the end of time and before you know it, you forget all about it. Well, I’m trying to shop only for clothes that are versatile and that I can wear over and over again without worrying a button popping off or the lace ripping.

So basically, I’m going to be a smarter shopper from now on and not just a spur-of-the-moment shopper. It’s good to have only a few good clothes and just mix and match. Sometimes it’s fun with certain accessories and shoes. A hoarder is far from the kind of person I want to be. I don’t want to be an extreme consumer because in the end, your items will consume you. You need to have a moderate outlook on shopping because shopping in excess can really drive you crazy in the long run. I definitely don’t want to buy the house next door just to store my personal belongings. That’s nuts!

My favorite rides at Disneyland and California Adventure

Some people are scared of spiders. Some people are scared of snakes. There are even people who are scared of balloons. What’s my phobia? Heights. Well specifically…heights plus motion, which equals ROLLERCOASTERS! Yes, I have a fear of rollercoasters, as ridiculous as that sounds! I’ve been to Disneyland before when I was younger and maybe once in high school but the only rides I remember are Peter Pan and Dumbo.

Until Yesterday. I went to Disneyland and California Adventure with my sister, her boyfriend, and one of our friends and although I chickened out on Maliboomer, I was very impressed with myself because I actually rode most of the rollercoasters.Yes I know, everybody reading this blog has probably ridden every Disneyland ride and even every Six Flags ride. But for someone who has never really gone on a rollercoaster before, I think I did pretty good.

I felt like a chicken my whole life for being nervous and anxious about riding a rollercoaster. I would get more than butterflies in my stomach, it would be to the point where I was feeling sick and nauseous. I even threw up after riding a silly carnival ride. That’s how bad I was. Going to Disneyland (which is known for having kiddish rides) had me anxious the entire time.

But I actually can’t wait to go back soon! Below are my top fave rides in Disneyland and a list of rides that weren’t as magical. Some were just ehhh…and sadly a lot of my favorite childhood rides are actually my least favorite now. But luckily, I gained a bunch of new favorites! 

BEST DISNEYLAND RIDES

6.  River Run – This was in California Adventure. Water rides are always so fun but it’s best to go on a really hot day when you’re begging to get wet. Otherwise, if you hate the water, this isn’t for you.

5. Toy Story – This was in California Adventure too. This is such a fun one where you put on some 3D glasses and take a jerky ride through a maze filled with targets to shoot. There’s a small screen during the ride that updates your score and at the very end, you see who did the best. A must ride!

4. Thunder Mountain – This is such a fast, crazy train ride! I loved this one because of the speed. Definitely a popular one!

3. Matterhorn – This reminds me of Thunder Mountain except it’s on a snowy mountain and you’re sitting in a bobsled-like cart. You can ride in your own seat or you can have someone sit in between your legs while you hold them (like a motorcycle ride). It’s fast and quick and the only reason I like this one better than Thunder Mountain are the seats. You get to stretch out your legs and because you’re sitting alone, it feels like you’re navigating the mountain on your own. Pretty exciting.

2. Space Mountain – This is pretty close to being my favorite ride. The line was 1 1/2 hours long. I was wondering what the fuss was all about. I’ve asked many of my friends and 50% love it and 50% hate it. I was so curious about the ride because everyone seemed to have a crazy description that I couldn’t imagine. It’s definitely something you have to see for yourself! I love how fast and crazy this one is. Just try to avoid the bright light in the end when the camera takes your picture. It’s annoyingly bright. And warning, you WILL get very dizzy after this ride.

1. Mulholland Madness – This was in California Adventure too and it’s by far the most fun I had on a ride. A lot of people exiting the ride were talking about how much they hate it and I totally understand why. You’re sitting in a car and not only are you going at a face pace but there are a lot of crazy corners to turn and every time you turn a corner, the car inches off the track and it really feels like you’re about to fall off. I have no idea how they created that ride but they do a good job of making you feel unsecured. This one is sooo fun!

MY LEAST FAVE RIDES

I’m sorry if you don’t agree but well, everybody’s different. (This is in opposite order. The top is the worst and as you go down, the rides are better)

1. ToonTown Rollercoaster – We rode it for laughs but our laughs turned to grimaces and we were definitely not amused. The 40 minute line lead us to a 5 second ride. It was fun for a second until it ended. I understand it’s a kid’s ride so I’ll let that slide, but it’s still the worst ride.

2. Storybook Land – I don’t know if the people who made Small World made this one too because it’s a similar concept. But I just didn’t see the fun in this boring ride.

3. Haunted Mansion – Wow, I can’t believe I was so excited to ride this. I think I hyped this up because the only good part about this is the beginning when you’re stuck in the room.

4. Pirates of the Caribbean – Sorry but this ride didn’t do it for me. It was a beautiful place, but it moved way too slow.

5. Soaring – This probably shouldn’t even be on this list because I really liked it except the image was a little blurry and after we left, we all got kind of dizzy. And it was dizzy in a bad way like my eyes were fuzzy for a while. Otherwise, I love simulated rides and I really appreciated the idea. This is a favorite of a lot of people though and I think it’s worth trying. I wouldn’t knock this one.

There you have it! My top favorite rides! I feel like a whole new person and that I can do anything I want if I put my mind to it.

I really want to go again soon because 11 hours just wasn’t enough time! I still didn’t get to ride the ferris wheel and of course, Dumbo! =(

One of our friends brought her camera and snapped a bunch of pictures so once she emails me, I will put them up!

Judging a book by its cover

Okay so we all know the saying, “Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover.” Well, we’re all only human and it’s natural to judge and stereotype. I don’t live under a rock; I know it’s human nature. It’s a little different when it’s happening to you constantly. 

So if I had a dollar for every time someone has misjudged me, I would be a millionaire. 

No joke. I would say over 90% of my friends (females only) have said that my image is bitchy without it being intentional. Not my facial expression or my gestures, but literally just by my physical appearance alone.  I‘ve even had people who I’ve never met before come up to me and tell me that too. Why is it that people are so quick to judge? And how can a person’s image appear bitchy? I had a discussion with my roommate the other day about this. We were trying to figure it out…

Could it be the way I put on my makeup? The fact that I’m Asian and have blondish highlights in my hair? The fact that I’m not afraid to show some skin? Or maybe it’s because I just don’t have a friendly face when I’m not smiling? 

Well who the hell goes around with a forced grin on their face anyways? That’s a little creepy if you ask me. 

I have experienced girl drama like you wouldn’t believe and what’s even worse is I know girls who have rarely experienced drama. But then a guy friend tells me:  Some girls just have that image that people associate with snobs. It could be a certain style they’re sporting or a certain overall image they possess. Well whatever…I dress the way I want to dress and I put however much makeup I want to put and you know something? I am in no way a snobby bitch whatsoever…my roommates can back me up on that one. In fact, I think I’m a little too nice.

A true bitch would embrace the fact that she looks like a bitch. But a shy person would be offended and shocked. I admit, I used to be hurt when people would tell me I look like a shallow bitch. I was hurt and ashamed of my face. I don’t want a horrible stereotype written all over me. I want people to give me a chance and give me the benefit of the doubt, like I do with other people.

Is it possible that I’m one of the rare species left in the world that doesn’t judge people and write them out?

Nowadays, I do embrace my image. Not because I’m proud of looking like a bitch but because, for every single friend who has told me I have a “bitchy look,” the statement is immediately followed by,

“But surprisingly, you’re one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.”

And this tells me two things.

1) I may have an unfriendly appearance but once people meet me, their expectations are reversed. This means people have learned not to judge others who look a certain way. Just because a girl is wearing glasses and braces, doesn’t mean she’s a nerd. You have to look deeper and give people a chance. A lot of my friends feel they’ve learned valuable lessons after realizing this.

2) I am a genuinely nice person and if people can look past the image and take the moment to get to know me, then they are worth being friends with. Why would I waste my time on people who just take one look at me and assume? Maybe I’m glad I was blessed with this armed weapon since I don’t have to waste my time with such close-minded people.

I’ve known a few people who have said that if they followed their instincts and completely dismissed someone, they would’ve missed out on knowing a great person. You only know a few great people in your life and the more chances you take, the more great friends you make. It’s not guaranteed that you’ll find friends each time you take a shot.

But the more you shut people out, the less chances you have of finding truly amazing people that might impact your life.
