US National Championships 2007 Johnny Weir VS Evan Lysacek Evan Lysacek won and took his first national title and Johnny Weir placed at third . My husband and I've been sick since we saw this men's skating free program in Jan 27. It was like a nightmare. We really got heartbroken when we saw Johnny just broke down crying and didn't stop sobbing at Kiss & Cry area. I couldn't sleep and eat much and lost some weight. Now my weight is 107lb. Because this was not normal competition. All the media supported Evan and they wanted Evan to win. Before the event, the media advertised only Evan's pictures and posters everywhere. and in their fluff, they showed Evan and Johnny's rival comments but always Evan first and Johnny second even though Johnny is the three time national champion. Why are they doing like that ? There are several other weird things out there. They were often showing beautiful ice dancing skater Tanith Belbin whi...

I'm very excited that US nationals will be just around the corner ! Also, I 'm very scared and nervous to see Johnny Weir skate because I'm really a huge fan of Johnny. I will be really really upset if Evan Lysacek beat Johnny and took the title. Evan is using old program for his FP and Johnny will skate new programs for both SP and FP. Since last season, they both were very busy joining US COI tour , especially Johnny also went to Japanese dream on ice show during the time. He didn't have much time for the training but created two brand new programs. Unlike Johnny, Evan could not create new FP and only for SP. He is good at skating his old FP " Carmen" and was always getting high scores.  Actually, I'm getting really bored to watch his Carmen since last season. Seems like many of skating experts pick Evan to win. I like Evan but I don't think he is a better skater than Johnny.  Actually, can not compared with J...

I found a funny quote from the Queen interview that made me laugh a lot yesterday. Last week, a British television show interviewed Brian May and Roger Taylor. Here is the quote, British television interviewer : What are some of the differences between Freddie Mercury and Paul Rodgers ? ROGER TAYLOR: Paul is so unlike Freddie in so many ways. He really comes from the Blues , and Freddie comes from........uhh.......... ....... uhh.....................'Neptune'. (laughter) BRIAN MAY: Actually, Freddie probably came from Mercury. ( laughter) ROGER TAYLOR: Yeah. Maybe Mercury. Yeah ( laughter ) BRIAN MAY: Some things about Freddie were always a mystery to me. We never knew what his next idea for a song would be. Because it was always so different. Actually, some of the greatest heavy guitar parts on Queen songs were composed by Freddie. For example " Ogre Battle ". And also the heavy metal part of Bohemian Rhapsody, which he compo...

When I got on a scale this morning, I was really shocked to see my weight . 51kg !!! It's about 119.5lb !!!  It's too much !  My height is 5' 3 , so this weight sounds normal but I prefer to keep my weight less than average weight. I guess I didn't measure my weight since Christmas and during the time I gain about 4.84lb ! Soon I went to the gym in our apartment subdivision and walked about 30 minutes using walking machine. I was exhausted after finished it.  My body was already spoiled from the US lazy habit. Walking about 1 hour was normal life habit when I was in Japan even though I didn't have to go to the gym because everyone use train for transportation and we needed to walk to get to the station , and also people are walking around everywhere. Beside, I was learning jazz dance twice a week. I decided to lose weight 5 lb within 2 months and always keep that weight. This is one of my New Year resolution. My husband lost ...
