Watching the news.

It's Anna Nicole Smith again.

They should let the poor woman rest in peace, I mean come on people. Leave her alone. They hound her in life and even after death. They should know when to stop already.

Ok, on a better note.

Mai Otome Zwei ep 2 is being subbed!!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Haruka and Yukino here a lot, but I wish there was more Natsuki and a bit of update on status of Garderobe, I wanna know what the hack happened over there now. But we did get to see Sara Gallagher. I'm thinking her batman mask is there because she's wearing glasses. And she can camouflage! That is pretty cool and useful. Galactic Aquamarine, the first colum. I don't think the number has anything to do with rank, more like who fitted the ability that the GEM has better, and the GEM was assigned each Colum.

So.... Shizuru was 3rd Colum and Natsuki's senpai
Is it safe to assumed that Sara was Natsuki's kohai, since she called Haruka Onee-sama and Haruka didn't know she was the first colum. ('cause if she was the same year as Natsuki, Haruka would've known that she was a colum, wouldn't she?) Now I wanna know her history, especially with Haruka.

Interesting ability Chie has as well. That magician thing fitted her somehow, must be the personality. LOL.

And I can't believe they let Tomoe go! I thought we were gonna see the end of her, apparently not! Although it probably be interesting that way.

I'm happy to see ep 2, and can't wait to see ep 3.

Now I think I'll wait till all 4 came out and order them all at the same time. :)

Still watching Mai HiME.

I'm also writing Mai HiME fanfiction as well. It's ShizNat, of course what else could it be. I should be writing other things as well, but well, right now I just don't have any idea for other stuff, so I have to do what I can.

Gizmo is being.... well, a dog that he is.

He's eating less and gotten a tad pickier than usual, I'm not really sure why. Maybe we have to change his diet.

At least he can't talk back. LOL

So, the wireless keyboard and mouse is working fine, so it's good. And I find typing out easier when the keyboard isn't high up on the counter top. Means, I can write faster. LOL. (why does that make me happy)

Anyhow, I might have to buy a new set for home use at this rate, but not that I mind very much. After all, I don't do the whole nightclub and well, anything really, I only spend my money on movies, musics, anime, and manga, so a bit of new toys here and there doesn't really hurt. Or rather I hope not.

Besides it's on sale right now!

Ok, done babbling.

I'm watching Mai HiME again, but hey, I want to!!

So, got me a set of wireless keyboard and mouse set by Kensington (tm) Man, I must read instruction carefully next time. What a pain. Since I had my harddrive reformatted (don't ask) I didn't get the chance to actually install it at home, so I dragged it over to the store and tried it on my laptop, it didn't work at first, don't know why so I had my cousin took it back to the store and well, lo and behold, the damn thing worked!!

like I said, what a pain.

Now it works fine, could've done that in the first place, and saved me a lot of grief.

Hey Cin!!

How are you doing? I tried leaving you comment and well, it didn't let me. I have to log in???

Watching Mai HiME again, *sigh* I loved the series, much more than I do the manga. LOL. Why did I get the manga??? Oh yeah, just so I have it, not that I'd really read it. Although Shizuru with that fan, it was so cool!!! If I remember correctly Shizuru in Mai Otome manga also used it from time to time. A good accessery, they shoulda include that in the anime. Remind me a bit of Mendou from Urusei yatsura.

I ran virus scan on my laptop last night and damn!!! That was a lot, LOL.

Anyhow, it's working fine now, I should've done that a while ago, this just goes to show ya that you need to pay better attention to your anti virus protection!!

Today I went and paid for my cellphone bill (and my dad's, he never pay his own, ever, I'm surprised he actually can go 2-3 months w/o paying and still able to use the phone!!) And so I bought a set of wireless keyboard and mouse, I was getting really really annoyed with the wire for a long while now, so there it is, and also it was on sale. :)

My mother lost the power bill, so now we're digging up the old one so we could go pay for it at the power company office. Before they shut us down {O_o}

Tonight I should get my cpu back and I should get my ass over to the gym!

Well, my cpu needed a HD reformating, so that's where it went, and now I'm on my laptop.

Today, I also get a new anti virus as well, since I didn't really use my laptop for getting online till recently I hadn't been paying attention to the virus definition and all that, now it's time and I found that there's a lot on it. LOL.

Tonight I purchase :

Onikirimaru vol. 9
Mai HiME vol. 3
Angel Sanctuary vol. 1

I'm not too thrill with Mai HiME manga, really, it's pretty much a Tate HiME, I mean come on. I don't like him, I really don't. He's too self-rightous and self important for my liking. Also pretty stupid and they oversold his ability, especially in manga. To top that off, Shizuru that happened to be the most popular character (according to the poll on sunrise) was barely even in the manga.

At least Mai Otome manga was better in the respect, although Shizuru still wasn't all that prominent, but we got our ShizNat!!

I better get to that box I've been trying to make, I'm starting to put some lining on the inside. And I guess I'll pull a couple sheets of paper to use as a surface, I'm not worry about the smoothness since I can sand it down a bit. Good thing I have a lot of paper to recycle and make some handmade paper. :)

I'm watching Ghost Whisperer.

So, my laptop is infected, I think, I'll have to update the virus definition. Yeah, FUN!!!

Yesterday, I begged my dad for a day off, so we closed the store, and while my mother bitched about closing extra days (as if I get the day off on my day off, it never stops, take mom to the doc, buying stuff etc.) But she came in wake me up and had me drop her off at Sunday meet (think going to yardsale) so she could buy plants!! Then when I said I was hungry, she said, again? I was like, what again, I didn't eat anything yet today!

God, I hate my life, I'm hungry and they bitched at me for being hungried. I mean, what the hell.

Anyhow, I spent the late afternoon going through papermaking method with a friend of mine, she wanted to put in her blog, and I like making paper, when there's no one looking over my shoulder and having to get stuff for class. I mean, I did take papermaking class but I didn't like the class much, maybe because there's too many people and it just wasn't much fun with you have to wait on everything.

but to do as I wanted, hey, it's fun. I pulled about 8 sheets and well, already ruined 2, the rest is drying.

Today, we'll be writing everything down.

I'm watching Criminal Mind


Man, DSL provider is annoying, right now I can load some pages and some I can't, and I don't --for the life of me-- know why. I'm thinking it has something to do with script error on certain pages. But hey, the one at home works fine, so, I guess it's all right since I could read all those stuff at home (probably better too, since I don't get interrupted there) But still I want to know everything works when I want to.

I have every intention of writing and drawing today, let's see how well that goes.

Suddenly I miss Jamie last night when I thought about it. I mean, I used to talk to him everyday, or almost everyday and now I hardly even e-mail him, but I also know that he had been busy with his school work and such, cause I was the same too, and the distant makes it harder. *sigh* oh well, if you're reading, man. Miss you, lots and you're the best.

I went out with some friends last night


Yesterday, Saturday, after getting maybe 5 hours of sleep, my mother woke me up to take her to see dematologist, and by the time we're done and ready to come home it was already 1 in the afternoon, on our way back I wanted to stop at the restaurant, but they were out of stuff, so it's driving all the way back without any food in my system, and not even water, and I got my first meal of the day at 4:30 PM.

Got home, I wanna sleep, but then a friend called me up and so I went out with some friends again and came back around 11pm.

Not that it was a bad thing, it's good to see some of them again, since I hadn't gotten a chance to, and probably won't for a long while. Some of them I saw for the first time in about 10 years!

It was a good night, although I was exhausted by the time I get to bed, but hey...

Oh yeah, I lost my Sony Vault 2GB thumbdrive, and damnit!! It's not the fact that I lost the thing that pissed me off, it's the things inside!! I have half written fanfics, drawing I was working on, and those will be a bitch to replace. GRRRRRRRR.. So, now I'm trying to write what I've lost.

For the lack of better things to do and more capacity to do it...

So I blogged.

I still hadn't watch Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora, or Venus vs. Virus. LOL, I didn't even get the chance to see Jigoku Shoujo, I did try to watch Mai Otome again last night, I fell asleep then I woke up to turn it off. (It was on my Screenplay, I couldn't just let it run all night, and it didn't have timer feature) This is when I regretted not checking before I bought the 42" widescreen plasma tv, it didn't have the second set of AV in, so I had to take out one of my component to put in the extra, which usually mean I would have to take the one for cable out. Before I moved back I did have several extra ones. Like the back and front of my vcr, and then the back of the tv as well as the front. Now I only have dvd player and cable in my room, so anything else will have to use the same ones as the cable one... but then I rarely play game or anything.

It seems that my shiznat fanfic is going to be longer than I thought, cause it's already 13 pages (at 10pt.) and it's not even half done yet, probably over 20 pages before it was over. Ha ha ha. I'm such a slave to the details. I better cut it down a little, my tendencies to describe everything that is.

I'm gonna go watch Biker Build Off now. :) I wish I got the NCIS last night, but well, it didn't work out there. So... it's off to what I have on Screenplay at the moment, which is quite a bit to watch, if I have the time without any interruption to spend on it.

Blogger layout finished!!

Yes, It's finished, as you can already see. Shizuru Viola, I don't know who did the illu, but there's no name or sign or anything, so if anyone knows, please let me know, so I can give proper credit.

I went and check out a few laptop, cause I want a new one, and I think I'll get the HP one. I actually wanted a Vaio, but man, the price tag... besides I could get the same performance for less with HP. The only reason I would cough up that much money for Vaio would be the look. It's not a good enough reason to justify that much extra dough.

New ep of Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora, and I don't know if I wanna watch it now, I already hate the boy and his attitude since ep 3, not a good sign, I only watch it for Kaon and Himiko.

New ep of Jigoku Shoujo, this I'll watch, as well as Venus vs Virus.

Nothing much going on except we got another extra member of the spirit in the house, a boy, approximately about 6-8 years old, only reason he showed himself to someone in the house was because he was hungry. So, now we'll set something out for him.

And my mom wants a fountain, we'll go look for it I guess. Maybe in a day or two.

Finally, the DSL at the store is working!!

Man, I've been calling them about it since last week, and the one answering the phone said that she was just an intern and she couldn't answer me anything. ARGGGGGGGG!!! Finally, after the store close yesterday (we close every Saturday) I came in and decided to turn on my laptop and then the modem and while it still nothing (just the light for power and ethernet on) I called them up and suddenly the damn thing work!!!

*sigh* I'm not even gonna ask.

I got Shingetsutan Tsukihime and I decided to watch it today if I can manage, I never seem to be able to these days. Although the next ep of Kekkaishi will go over well enough in midst of the distractions that we got here in the store. I also got 2 ep of Supernatural to watch too.

I started to work on the new blog layout last night, it'll be pretty simple, since I needed to get back on the saddle (so to speak) my last layout had something wrong with it, for whatever reason. So I have to start from scratch all over again.

My bathroom project is going slowly. It's not the cutting, it's the putting the damn contact paper on the shower stall that kills me. I tried a lot of things and still the airbubble is the most troublesome thing in this. I'm getting better at getting rid of them though. Too bad that some of them even left marks on the clear contact paper, but it's nothing I can really do about it now. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid them later on.

I want Mai HiME ps2 game!

Well, I'm not an avid gamer by any mean, but occasionally there are some that I wanna play. And I think I'll get up the nerve to order the game through amazon japan. Maybe.

I finished reading Kekkaishi a while ago and now just start watching the anime. For some reason I find it quite entertaining. :) I liked it. Guess I'll keep watching.

I actually took a trip over to the flee market (sorta) there was a guy that sell used manga and I ordered quite a few series off of him already, I didn't go for a while so I figured today is a good day.. and lo and behold, he wasn't there! I'll have to call my uncle up and ask if he changed the lot or he just wasn't there today. I'm all disappointed now. *sigh*

I think I'll have to get Shin Kotaro Makaritoru series all over again, 'cause all I have from my old collection was Block D one. Man, that'll be some spending again. But I do enjoy the manga, so it's all good. Since I don't do anything else, I don't go clubbing, I don't drink, nor do I smoke, and most of the time I spend my money on toys, manga, anime, movies, and books. Nothing's wrong with that, is there.

I'm gonna go and write some, maybe a bit drawing.

I'm watching (sorta) Mai Otome (again)

Just feeling like watching something with no angst. :)

I got Vidocq (French movie) which Hope pt.2 by Apocalyptica (feat. Matthias Sayer) was the ending credit. I read somewhere that it was rather creepy, but I don't really have the time to watch it right this moment, 'cause I get interrupted every five minutes. I don't watch any movie that require my full attention at the store anymore, really. It's sad. So, I watch anime. LOL.

I still have Madlax to watch, as well as Ikkitousen. I kept trying to watch them before bed, but well, I never get to really watch, cause I was trying to sleep at the same time. LOL.

I'm writing, god I'm writing again, just this time it's Mai HiME Shizuru/Natsuki that's all. I'm trying to get back on the horse, so to speak. 'Cause if I don't start with something I won't.

Trying to fix the damn blogger coding on my html too... not going very well at the moment. Well, I'll try again.

New Anime

I got my shipment of Utena the other day (yeah, I finished the series a long time ago, I just never really bought the thing, now I'm getting the complete set)

Also I got Kannazuki no Miko.

What can I say, I'm on a bit of a yuri binge right now. As usual I suspended my disbelief. LOL. I do enjoy the series, although I would've liked it more if not because of the whole mecha, I mean, man, I'd rather see them duke it out with swords and other weapon, but robot?

Himeko is just typical, I mean, oblivion much? Going back and forth between the boy, what was the point of having him there anyway, he's the usual, I am so capable and I'll protect you, self center type. Thus I love when Chikane shot his ass and show him who's boss! And his oh-so-powerful robot is really nothing, not even his to control anymore. Poor Chikane...

At least it's a happy ending of sort.

Also I got Kaleido Star, didn't start watching yet, but it'll be a light change to my usual all died at the end of the series type.

And Ikki Tousen...

Let's just say I'll have anime to occupy me through another depressing birthday.

And I'm still big ShizNat fan.

Well, on Dec 19th was Fujino Shizuru b-day.

And since I'm a fan, so I guess I can wish an anime character a happy birthday. LOL

I actually wrote something for it, and well, only got half of it done, so I'll post that whenever I get it done. I'm not all that concern about it.

Saturday is reunion. I wasn't gonna go, but then my friends are going so I guess I can make it, it'll be good to see some of the old faces again, even though I was only with them till 10th grade. Hopefully it won't get boring, cause the simple fact that I spent my formative year somewhere completely different than they were would make a huge diff in our thought process, and also taste in things. Besides, how many gonna have the same interest as I do. I mean come on, who's gonna be watching anime I like do. Well, the one that does won't be able to make it. Kinda sad.

I wanna go see Eragon, but still couldn't make it there yet. I'll try next week, maybe my friend will go with me.

Got new toy today.

I got a Seagate external hard drive today. It was 160gb, a pretty good size, I actually went looking for another model, but they didn't have it and this one was on sale so I got it. It'll still plenty enough for all my crap, so I didn't fret over it. While I was there I was looking at some laptop too. I want a Vaio, but they are kinda expensive comparing to other brand, so I might end up with an HP, or Accer.. I guess between those, I'll get HP. I don't know, I just feel like it.

I'm getting DSL for the store too, cause I spend all my day there, so I'd like something to kill time while I religuish the TV to my aunt or my mom. Otherwise I'll monopolize the damn thing till sundown. LOL. Can you imagine two old people watching anime with me all day cause they didn't have a choice. I don't think my mother mind too much, except she couldn't understand what they were saying.

Anyhow, I moved most of the crap that had been clogging up my hard drive over to the portable one, and now it's all good, more space for other junk!

Bed, now.

Store's finally open.

So we were renovating the store and we closed down on the 17th of November and we opened back up again on the 5th of December and let me tell you, the first few days were hell! I mean people were calling to make sure that we are open and such and all those that just came in to see that we were actually open on the date. I mean, hello! if the door is open and the stuff are out and arranged then we are open people!

Lately I've been reading Shiznat fanfic a lot, and I'm a bit away from B/F, I still read it, but I didn't check it regularly like I used to. :) Just some new obsession, ya know. I also watch Mai HiME and Mai Otome a lot too. And I am undeniably Shizuru fan now. LOL.

I've recently started on Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru, it's really not the type of anime I would watch I mean, cutsie little character... I think I watch it because the whole gender bender thing and also the yuri. Not sure if it'll really be a bit of shoujo ai, but I'll watch it for a couple more episodes, just because.

Kiddy Grade... well, I finished the entire series now. 24 episodes of it. I love Lumiere!! She's so cute. Also that little kiss in Ep 20 and stuff kept me going. LOL. I like shoujo ai and yuri in my anime although I could do with more blood, guts and gore, really. Blood splash makes me happy. Like in Hellsing. Man, I can't wait for more of Hellsing OVA.

Now I got some writing for Shiznat (otome) that I had rattling around in my head and I think I should type it down before I get too lazy to. Not that it'll come out as a finish fiction, but hey, it might.

Last few days of freetime!

Last night I went to pick up a set of second hand manga with a friend of mine. At first I wasn't gonna go anymore, cause no one was going with me, but well, it turned out that Sai would so, we went and I got my mom a t-shirt and I got Orange Road the entire set (I used to have the complete set but someone borrowed and didn't return them to me) The reprint weren't very well done so I was considering if I want to get it or not. Now I got better one, so I'm quite happy.

Also I got my R/C Illu of Shizuru/Natsuki done, and the Hellsing one also almost complete. Just a bit of touch up and cleaning and they will be fit for posting. The ShizNat one needed a bit of a trim on the side and some wiping down, since the glue left some residue, same goes for Hellsing one. Now they both are done I got something else in mind, I enjoy making them even though they are not very intellectually challenge. (only your sense of aethetic property) Sometimes I have the hell of a time trying to figure out if I wanna leave certain shape uncut or not, and if it'll help the overall picture. Oh well, you will only see it when it's complete. And once it's done, there's no more fixing it.

It's raining again. I like rain, up to a point. :)

I have another 20 min or so to get ready before picking up my friend for working out. Hopefully we'll make it there this time.

New R/C Illustration and 2 cuts on the fingers.

I'm not done with Hellsing, Sir Integra yet, but the damn details were killing me, so I'm putting it on hold. While I was reading Mai Otome (Mai Z-HiME) I saw a good illustration to do it so I did. It's of the Gakuenchou Natsuki Kruger and Meister Shizuru Viola.. LOL.

I went through the Hellsing one without any cuts or nicks, but this one, much smaller and shorter amout of time that I'm working on it, I already got 2 cuts. Nice. Bled all over the damn thing too.

Saw first ep of Mai Otome Zwei and I can't wait for fansub, cause I can't understant Japanese!! It looked totally awesome though. And when Natsuki came around asking if they could contact Shizuru (I assumed) and one of the Aswald said something about pretty girl she was scolding at her. It was funny. In the manga it was made pretty clear that they were together. I also can't wait for vol 5 of the manga.

Very interesting beginning all the Meister Otome get together to either destroy or deviate the meteorite, Haruka was as usual, loud and up front. (I didn't see Shizuru 'Kyouen no Marasakizoushou' there though, maybe she was since she wasn't with Natsuki) And while the weapons they use destroyed part of the meteorite Arika went after the big chuck that got away and destroyed it.

Well, that, of course, the beginning of trouble.

We get to see Natsuki and Shizuru in swimsuits again. :) Got to see Miss Maria in her young form and get her butt kicked. Good to see that they tried to prevent the same thing happened before by created the surrogate system for the Pillar.

I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the OVA.

Just got the entire series of Fullmetal Alchemist on dvd in a leather case. I actually contemplating ordering it from Amazon.com, but well, just too many so when I saw this and it was on sale it was perfect. :) I'm happy about it.

Kannazuki no Miko was also licenced here, but not release yet, I can't wait, but if it's too long I might just order it, least waiting for the slow ass release here. Mai Otome is also going to get release, of course I'll get that as well.

I'm listening to Bitemarks and Bloodstain by Finch

Too bad they broke up, oh well.

My friend lend me Meitantei Hokenshitsu No Obasan by Akiko Miyawaki. I love this manga, at one time I did have it, but well, away for 8 years meant that my stuffs got dispersed all over the place and as a result, I lost a lot of the manga, this one was no exception. At least someone has the entire thing and I get to read it again. :)

I finished Mai HiME (Hightly Advance Materializing Equipment) and poor Shizuru. Her psychotic episode was understandable, really. I mean, being exposed and rejected like that would've driven anyone into madness. And when they disappeared together...

As for Natsuki for her to realize that Shizuru was her important person and have Duran just as big as Kiyohime, a testament to how strongly she felt for Shizuru and even though I'm pretty much a ShizNat fan, still if I wasn't it would've given me a not so small pause and think about it. And so, I'd like to think that Shizuru get the girl at the end, seeing how when Mai said that love is good and get an agreement from Natsuki whom sitting beside Shizuru (and the way it was shown in the scene too) So, I think we are safe to assume that they are together. Or at least on their way.

I'm writing ShizNat fanfic, it was meant to be dabble at first, but well, now that it is over 8 pages long, I guess it isn't a dabble anymore. LOL.

We went on a little shopping trip today.

The store is close for renovation, thus I had to go and take a look at some material, I f**king hate car ride, especially with seat like the one I had to sit in today. Man, my neck was killing me, and my back just wanna divorce from my body.

As for the material, I didnt get it, we just got some sample so mom could take a look before we order. Other stuff, however... So, I got 1/6 scale Saber in a dress with sandle from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, Jack Skeleton latern head, 1 pinky street. And I got the entire series of Kiddy Grade. After that it's shopping mall, not really a place I spend my time really, I prefer to be in some bookstore than a mall, but I did get a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Enough spending for a day, I did, for just a moment, wanting to get Tenjou Tenge, but I decided not to, the main character annoyed the hell out of me, thus I don't really wanna see it.

I'm watching Animal Precinct at the moment, and I'm yet again, amazed at how cruel and careless people can be. Animal aren't property, they are living things, I mean, dude if you wanna get a pet, take care of it! If you don't want it, give it to someone that does. Hard concept? I think not.

I'm watching Mai Otome, again, well, I pick and choose which ep I'm watching. I enjoy the show, quite a lot, even though my usual favorite tend to run towards blood guts and gore, but this one got lots of violence without the above :) And now my mom wants Shizuru Viola in Graceful Amethys robe. ha ha ha

I'm still crazy about Shizuru.

Yup, ShizNat.

I'm waiting for the dvd to come out, and well, I get kinda annoyed now. *sigh* in the mean time I'm suppose to be finishing up a website for a friend. It's pretty simple and clean, just the way my friend's mom wanted. Not that I get pay for that thing, but what the hell. I kinda volunteered becaues I felt bad for her, thus me in this position, although I pretty much got it done and she said ok, except the color, which I've changed and I'll drop it for her to take a look before I slice and dice.

So, I'm writing a little ShizNat, a piece of fluff really, just felt like they deserve it. Although my usual line of thought would go toward the angst path, but hey I can work it all out before I decide if I wanna post it and where.

I'm back to working out, yeah I needed it and also I have to get my money worth. Last night I was on the machine for about 20 min before we do the whole weight lift thing and then it's badminton for 3 games, not that I'm all psych about it, I'd rather we go play squash, but whatever. I think if I get the time I'll go play squash for maybe an hour. If I have the time. Nothing is certain about my schedule these days, it's kinda sad.

Arggggggggggggg I want my Mai HiME now!!!!

I got some manga today.

Volume 33 of Ushio and Tora, the final volume!!

I've been reading this for well, a long while and (say 10 years) and I'm quite sad that it's over now. On one hand I wanted it to go one, but on the other, it's about time it's finish. Ended just how I thought it would, which is a good thing, 'cause being a sadist that I am I would've make them all die!! LOL. But that's just me and it's a good thing that the author wasn't me.

Got all 40 volumes of 3x3 eyes. All I can say is it's about time! The damn thing was so long and well, just so many up and down and up and down some more. It's like die already. But then I do enjoy it once I get to read them all in one sitting and not having to wait for months.

Got volume 3 of Soryunden (the legend of dragon kings) I'd love it more with Clamp's illustration, but then you can't have everything.

I just rewatched vol 4 and 5 of Mai HiME dvd. Man I want the rest already. Too bad Shizuru didn't get her Natsuki in this one... At least she got her in Mai Otome. The girl gotta get her girl after all that heartbreak, come on. I like Shizuru, she's awesome. I think I'm in love!! Such tragic love.

I still didn't get to watch all Bakuretsu Tenchi, despite the fact that I have the entire series sitting on my shelves for a while now. And I still didn't watch Fate/Stay Night, well, I got to ep 14 and didn't get the see the rest yet. I saw Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori though. The first ep was... well, that just rang true. People will do one of the two things when seeing other people get bullied. Join in, or ignore. very few would step in and try to stop it. I'm looking forward to the rest. We see more of Emma Ai on this one than the first time around. I wish they pay more attention to her than they did. Good music too.

who are those little girls in pain
just trapped in caste of dark side of the moon
twelve of them shining bright in vain
like flowers that blossom just once in years
they're dancing in the shadow like whispers of love
just dreaming of place where they're free as dove
they've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage
it's only the fairytale they believe

[Alyssa S. Mai HiME]

current obsession : Shizuru/Natsuki

I've just finished watching Mai Otome (Mai Z-HiME) And I would've liked to see the pair kiss just once. I mean, it's pretty obvious and I'm happy that the Shizuru/Natsuki relationship was realized here.

Shizuru was awesome. LOL

To love that much and get nothing in return would've make anyone crazy.

Nagi was nothing more than a little worm, someone should cut him in half and see if he could grow back. Or maybe not, 2 Nagi would've been more annoying.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for the rest of Mai HiME, cause I only got to volume 5 on dvd which is episode 20. I can't wait to see the rest. Although I know it won't be much of a happy ending. But then nothing I watch seems to have happy ending and I quite like it that way.

My friend is back from 2 months hiatus. I wish I could go on one, but not possible. But then I couldn't do what she did anyhow. I prefer staying home with my internet connection and my books, movies and anime. So, give me a week of not having to take anyone anywhere and not going to the store would make me a very happy camper. (happy as a clam I tell you)

So, I'm waiting for Marimite OVA to come out, in the mean time I think I'm gonna put in that order for new Merry Gentry series as well as some Clair McNab books. I'm still reading A Matter of Degree, only because I stopped reading last week to do something else, which is why I didn't finish it in 2 days like I normally would. At least I got things waiting to be read, much better than having nothing to read at all.

I am reading A Matter of Degree by Alex Marcoux.

It is a sequal to Back to Salem and I had been waiting for this book for a while now so I'm quite happy that it got here yesterday afternoon. I have about 100 pages to go still, but then I started reading this last night. :)

I can wait to get my Fate/Stay Night dvd and my Utena and Jigoku Shoujo. Once they all got here I'll be very very happy. LOL

I still have another 2 books by Claire McNab waiting for me, which I will probably start after this one finish.

I wanna see The Grudge 2, still hadn't got the time, so I'm contenting myself with Mai Otome (Mai Z-Hime) Entertaining :) I enjoy them a lot. :) I love Shizuru, in both Hime and Otome. She's... I can't explain it. I guess I will atempt this again later, my stomach is screaming for food now.

Watching today : Fate / Stay Night

I got the first volume of the dvd the other day and finally got to see it today, I liked it, or rather I liked Saber. :)

See, my motivation to watch something is just easy like that. I was watching Strawberry panic too.. and also Mai HiME. I got Karas a while ago and still didn't get to actually sit down and watch it properly.

So, I ordered Fate/Stay Night, Rozen Maiden today, and I can't wait for them to get here!!

We are renovating the store, so it's all dusty and noisy there, I don't really like it, but it has to be done, so I can't really complain. While that was going on I was cutting my way through my new r/c (reductive conversion illustration, my teacher called it) It's of Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing. :) (I just like putting her whole name in) And another half will be Alucard, which will be on seperate piece of board. I usually use smaller boards and make them into a sort of puzzle but I guess I'm just trying to figure out what I can and can't do with new material (I couldn't get contact paper here, so I use sticker instead and on plastic board and cutting that to size is a bitch!) It's about 65% finished (I have to go through the entire scene which has buildings and dead bodies everywhere) But when I'm done I shall be very satisfy. Not that I know what to do with it afterward.

Bed time... *sigh*

It's 3:42 am. And I just got in.

Last night I spent the entire evening at my friend's till about 4 am. I was telling her about one of the most educational period of my life. The longest sort-of relationship I had. Wow, thought about ancient history. I never really thought about it before, and even though I knew that the entire thing was foolish and rather irrational of me, but at the time I didn't see it like that. Weird, huh.

Now, looking back I knew that I learned a lot from then and well, something I could do with out. And that one person that shall remain nameless, and how many times she popped in and out of my life.

My friend was rather astonished, to say the least. She said she never thought that I could be like that. Cause I was always the reasonable one, rational and emotionally close off. *ha ha* Calm, cool and collected all the time. Well, not a lot of people saw me during that period of my life and those that did never knew me from before. The only one that saw from the beginning to end was Jamie. Bless the boy, he's the best. Now I'm just glad that the saga was all over and maybe someday I'll write whatever I could remember down, just to remind me to never do it again.

On other note.

I'm doing another r/c illustration. It's Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, standing in midst of bodies and blood. New material that I've never work with in regard of this technique... a plastic (they called future board, I don't know) and black sticker. I used to use black matt board and contact paper, we'll see if it'll work out. :)

My friend is going back to retreat on Sunday again and she'll be gone till the end of the month. I've been skipping work out, but I'll go back on Monday. Man, I should get some sleep now. Tomorrow is another charity thing I said I'll go.

It's raining again.

My aunt is going down south so on Sunday I'll have to fend for myself and mind the store pretty much by myself. My dad might open it for me, and 'might' is the key here.

I didn't get to do anything while in store today, didn't write, I didn't even turn my laptop on. I was trying to watch FMA the movie and I didn't even get to do that, I fell asleep. So, it's nap time. I guess I can do that tonight while watching Jigoku Shoujo too. I actually like JS, onlything that it would make the series much better was the back story of Emma Ai.

I'm waiting for 8pm to roll around and see if the rain stops. I can go workout.. wooohooo... *sigh* Maybe I can get my PT to play badminton with me instead.

I got Hellsing vol.5 today. I didn't realize that they release it here, so I'm gonna have to go get the other 4 vol. *sigh*

It rains here everyday now, or rather every night. Kinda nice, except the whole wet dog thing, my dogs will go outside and run around in the wet grass every morning, can't really stop them from doing that, unless you want them to pee in the house, which is a no-no.

I just saw that I got Tsubasa Chronicle vol 3 twice, maybe I could bring one to change. Maybe. I'm doing a new layout for the blog, we'll see how that works. :) I could get the blogger code wrong, if they kept it the same I wouldn't have the problem, now I just don't have time to figure things out like I use to, I guess I better pay more attention.

Cin, have you gone to the lillicious link I gave you? You can read a little about Marimite there (maria sama ga miteru) I can't really explain it, it's about all girl school, which has soeur system (sisters) and the relationship between them. All the trial and tribulation.

Ok, I should go back to watch Jigoku shoujo now (hell girl)

Drabble : Ogasawara/Shigeyoshi

Sachiko rushed as much as her propriety would allow, this was her first movie date with Minako and she wasn't going to be late, even though the traffic didn't help her one little bit. She had spent the entire day on edge and worrying about the little things that she had never paid any mind to them before.

But Minako was unlike anyone she had ever known.

The front of movie theater came into sight and Sachiko felt her heart leaped up to her throat, there leaning against one of the pillar was Shigeyoshi Minako, dressing, surprisingly, very casual in her loose fitting jeans and hooded sweatshirt. Her long pale hair loose around her shoulder. Rosa Chinensis en Bouton stopped for a moment to look at her.

Then the crownless queen of Judo turned and looked at her, as if she could feel her approaching. Minako smiled and Sachiko broke out into a run toward her.

that's it, I think. :)

Got new volume of Air Gear today, as well as K2 and Double Souls.

My car is in the garage for some fixing today. No, I didn't crash it or side swipe anything really. More like someone else did it to mine while I was in the movie months before and since my insurance was about to be up for the year I just took it in to claim so, they gonna have to repaint most of it.

Now I'm without car for the next 8-10 days. Kinda suck really, cause I had to take my motorcyle to the gym today. I booked the squash for 9pm and I got there 30 min early and there was no one there, so I guess someone only played for 30 min. I went in and proceeded to beat the crap out of the rubber ball for almost an hour before my friend came in and told me it was raining!

Long story short, I left and well got wet on my way home. At least it didn't pour, just a little drizzle.

I'm writing Marimite/Sobakkasu xover, why, because I wanted to. LOL.

I loved Ogasawara Sachiko and Shigeyoshi Minako and being the freak that I am, I wrote them up as a pair. Not finish but well, I'll keep going till I feel like stopping.

Hey Cin!!

How ya doing?

How's everything?

I'm back to listening to some Taking Back Sunday now.

Watching : nothing really... more like listening

I'm just eatching, I'm starving that I actually get an egg over easy ( don't really like sunny side up) and some white rice. Yeah... desperate.

I'm writing, well, not my usual stuff at the moment. I've just finished reading Sobukkasu by Kikuchi Shouta again, and I love Shigeyoshi Minago. It was awesome. So, I'm writing Sachiko/Minago just because they are so different. LOL.. Hopefully I can pull that one off.

Why this pair??

Cause I'm a freak, and I just like taking 2 characters that had nothing to do with each other and put them together.

My DSL at home still not very usable... thus dial up at the store.. it sucks!!! So I'm thinking getting DSL at the store now. So I can read all day!!!!

Watching : nothing really, just left the tv droning in the background

On Sat I went and dragged my friend to the next town to get some books, manga really, and she said ok. We both figured that I would be the one that spent the most money on this little trip, but as it turned out, she spent more than I did, due to the fact that she bought 2 sets of some Chinese series. Why would she wanna buy them is beyond me, seeing how she's going on the retreat right the next day.

I got a bunch of Manga, even got 1st Volume of Strawberry Panic. Not that I'm all that fawn of shoujo, but it's Shoujo-ai so it's all good, even if it's a little on the silly side. :)

Man, I would love to get Marimite manga, except I can't read Japanese. Although I did say to my friend that if they get here, I still wouldn't have known, cause I never look at that section anyway. Normall, I like action and blood guts and gore in my manga.. (look up Berserk, Hellsing) Some extreme emotional situation also good too, a bit of psychological thriller. :)

But then I'm also happy with Yuri...

Read another one 'Line' by Yua Kotegawa.

It's a oneshot. With Yuri subtext, the story was pretty good.

I think I'm getting too many at one time and what happen is that I would read the one I wanted to get in the first place and the rest will get put aside till a lot later. :) Actually, the best thing I should do is getting one set at the time and so I wouldn't put anything on hold for a long time. I already had at least 3 sets of manga unread, so I should really get to it.

Watching : Missing

I've been sick like a dog for the past couple of weeks. Last week I went to the gym and decided that I wanna play squash, and so, while my friends were in the pool treading water (they weren't really swimming, just made good impression of it. LOL) I went and played for about 30 min, and well, right the next day I was running fever again. Really, I'm tired of this. *sigh*

I've been watching Marimite over again, and well, I really really like Sachiko. LOL.

I'm at that state where one character is just so cute to me and I'll read and and I'll watch and I'll read and I'll watch again. FUN!

I'm hoping for 3rd season of the series, I'm not really looking forward to the show with just Yumi but whatever happens. Seems like later issue of novel has less of Sachiko... *sniff*

Watching : American Chopper

I just got back from my friend's place, we went out and then hung out till 2am. LOL. Yesterday I got me an Iomega Screen Play (portable harddrive) It can play media file right out of the thing, so I got it. I asked my dad and he said ok. :) (big plus, cause I don't have the money) I spent nearly an hour just to figure out how exactly I can get it to work. The damn start guide was of no help at all. It didn't say what it should've said in the first place that the drive has to be in FAT32 or it won't work on the tv... and it didn't mention it one bit, so I had to go on the website and read through a bunch of stuff to figure that one out. Prior to that I was renaming files and check the file type and all that crap. It was pissing me off. The actual solution took me less than 5 minutes. They should've state it in the first place.

Stupid quick start guide. I wanna know who write these things?

I wanna strangle them.

But now I get the thing and I was watching a bunch of stuff on it so it's ok... I'm happy for now. Next I'm making a box to carry it with (the drive, remote, cables) :)

so, it's been a while. I've been busy, but then what else is new, same shit different day. My lcd screen broke down about a week ago, so I had to get a new one, this one is 19" wide screen, it's cool, but still I didn't have the money to spend on this, at least not right now anyway, but well, neccessity and all that.

Got a new printer cause the old one just doesn't work anymore, it's a good thing they are cheaper than they used to be. ALso got a new Wacom Graphite4, it's silver. I've been wanting to get a new one for a while, cause I only have one that it suck getting it back and fort between home and store, good to get a new one so I get one for both machine.

So, now I'm broke.

My friend let me borrow some books, forgot to bring them from her place. LOL. I let her borrow some of my manga, Dragon Voice, Kurogo, Cardcaptor Sakura, Q detective school and I got some Fullmetal Alchemist back from her. Now I wanna get Pigmario by Wada Shinji maybe I can get them used, it'd be cheaper. And maybe Glass Mask too.

So, I know I said that my cellphone was dead, but well, today, it is well and truely not coming back. And after I realized that in the morning, my dad managed to broke the damn 2 numbers in the store.. we couldn't use the phone the entire day and probably tomorrow as well.

My mother said that tomorrow she'll drop in so I could go see to a new phone. Well, news flash I don't have enough money for it. I told her so, and I asked if she gonna get me one, she said no. So, what's the damn point of her dropping in so I can go look for a new phone, 'cause I can't buy a new phone now anyway. Wouldn't make a different if I go see it tomorrow or on Saturday, I still can't get a new cellphone.

I wanted O2 and I was saving up money for it, now I don't have enough money yet, I was hoping my nokia would last another month or two. Man, when it rains it pours.

What's been happening.... oh, several things I guess.

My phone is dead.. yeah, well and truely and I couldn't even get a new one. I've been saving up money, wanting a new printer first, I'm sick of the one I have, it just won't cooperate with me, seemed to be something wrong everytime I turned it on, so I gave up. Fixing it just didn't seem to worth the time and money, so a new one, besides printers are not really expensives these days. Of course, things just had to go wrong.

My damn cellphone started to act up several weeks before, at first I thought that the battery ran out when it shut itself down for no reason, then 'start-up failed' message showed up when I tried to use it. Now, it doesn't even have the courtesy to start at all. So, I'll be incommunicado which is bad, not that it would bother my parents, since they never call me anyhow.

I asked my mother if she could get me a new one, the answer was : NO. So, my other alternative was save up money to buy a new one and I have every intention to do that, except the damn phone broke before I have enough.

I thought coming home would mean less stress over this crap, when my things break down I can get a new one without worrying that I won't have enough money to last me a semester, now I know it's worse. So, next month, I'll probably have to forget about books that I wanna get and movies I wanna see. I fucking hate my life.

Watching : Nothing really

Well, I haven't been in the gym at all for 4 days straight, a friend of mine that has been going with me had some kinda seminar for 2 days and Saturday night I was just way too tired. I got Jack in Santa suit and Sally with Sawing Machine on Wed when I went to see X-Men 3 and then Saturday we went to do some shopping (mostly grocery) and I picked up Victor and Emily figures.

I went to the gym and we played Badminton, and then afterward it's squash, I booked the court again for tomorrow night at 9 cause I can't go any earlier. Kinda suck really, but what can ya do. I'm getting the hang of it now, so I can actually hit for a while without chasing the ball around too much.

Hopefully I'll get better. LOL.

Working on the new layout for crypticrain. Almost there, just a few more things and it's up.

I've been writing too, so that's a good thing. There are 5 stories altogether that I'm currently writing, I might get one finish in a day or two to post. :) Maybe I'll post it when I update the layout. :)

Watching : CSI: New York

I went and saw The DaVinvi code on the 24th and I got Micah by Laurell K. Hamilton the same night. The movie was good, although it was almost 3 hours, I'd love to see the uncut version though (I mean the one with all the deleted scenes and such) They had some protesting here for it not to be shown, but then religion and business.. I never like people that thinks they should tell other people what to do, what to see, what to read and what to listen to. I think people like that are arrogant to think that they know better than anyone. You can't presumed to know what's best for everyone.

When they couldn't get the theater to stop showing they wanted to cut out the last 10 minutes, of course that didn't happen, the fact which I'm happy about. Just people you don't wanna watch it, doesn't mean you can tell other people not to see it. They should just up and die.

The movie was great, I can't wait to see it again.

Next I'll be waiting for X-Men 3 : The Last Stand.

I finished Micah the next day. I'm starting to get real sick of the whole the more men the merrier of Anita. It gets tedious just reading about her indecision and I was happier reading when it was just her and JC and Richard, and the rest are just annoying.

watching : nothing

I tried to get in last night and well, it just won't load for me so i gave up. I finally got in!!

I got The OC season 3 and The L Word season 2 today, and finally picked up that copy of HP:tGoF today. Afterwards, my aunt asked me to take her to pick up some shampoo and conditioner that we use in the apartment and so we stopped at the home products center thing, I got a small rug for my comp desk (my hardwood floor can't take the wheels of the chair), got a desk lamp too, cause only one of the desk has lamp, and I intended to use the other one drawing and cutting stuff, I just can't do it here, the keyboard was in the way.

I found a site for flatpack toy.. www.readymech.fwis.com good stuff

Watching : CSI

I'm getting a set of Winsor&Newton color ink and some new nibs. I lost a whole box of them when I used them as a still life piece. Kinda suck.

I'm looking to get a dvd recorder, not sure if I'll be able to, I kinda want to record some show and stuff.. I'm looking forward to SuperNatural and Hex. :) But I can also load those, so we'll see how it goes.

I'm working on a new layout for crypticrain getting closer all the time, I just need to arrange some stuff and type in some details and such. It'll look good once it's done, I hope. :) I need to do some collaging as well as drawing, I want to, otherwise I won't do anything at all. I'm still reading DaVinci Code, I was reading the ebook till I sent my ipaq in for some repair, now I guess I'll have to reread from the top. should be fun.

watching : Psychic Witness

I went to the vid rental store today to returned what I rented yesterday, which were Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Doom. I intented to go earlier in the day, like in the afternoon instead of at night, but well, my mom decided to play hooky today so I got stuck at the store all day. It was quiet. Water Festival started on the 13th, however in northern part they play as early as the 11th. They usually play on the 18th and 19th here but well, they seem to be starting early this year cause they started playing now!

I found Dennis the Manace and Death to Smoochie!!! I loved those movies! I couldn't believe it, so I rented them both, I guess I'll figure a way to dub them and keep 'em since they don't have 'em for sell.

I'm figuring out some javascript so I can use it on my new layout, yeah figuring out cause I was too dumb to take the class while I was in school. I'm just not good with the stuff, the best I can do is trial and error as I try using them. Can't write them to save my life. LOL

I saw a spot for 'Supernatural' and it looks pretty good. I can't wait to see it. I'm watching Ghostwhisperer and Medium and CSI currently. Got Airgear ep 1 and 2 too... should be fun.

Watching : First Wives Club

Saw Ultraviolet today, it was fun!!! I loved it! Of couse the story was a little weak, action sequence makes up for it though. So they end up being vampire... interesting. I wanna see it again, probably the dvd, not in theater, don't have time as it is.

My dad asked if my laptop was good, and if it has other language, I said nope, it's pretty old now, he said he might buy me a new one (asked the price and everything) or something to that effect. Well, right now I can't get one for myself anyhow... BROKE... that's me.

After that 42" plasma tv, I'm still coughing up money to pay him back. Money don't grow on tree, ya know... which is too bad. LOL.

Bed time.. man I'm exhausted.

listening : Goodbye My Lover [James Blunt]

I went and see Inside Man last night, it was 10:10pm show, and I was gonna go by myself, since none of my friends could make it, but then I came home and well, the girl that works at the front here just finished her shift, so I dragged her instead. She's cool about these kind of crap, she didn't even know which movie I was going. LOL

I can't wait to see Ultraviolet though.. man, it's gonna be so good. And also Ice Age 2 : The Melt Down and Basic Instinct 2 good movies!!

So I guess maybe this weekend or if I can get my mom to let me go, tomorrow afternoon. LOL.

Otherwise I'll be going to see Ultraviolet next week. I don't like going to the movie during the weekend, the thought of me having to fight for a seat just isn't so appealing, been there done that, although I rarely see a movie that is completely fill to the brim with people, I just don't like people, they are inconsidered and on a few occasions I sat near those people that think they are the only one in the theater, talking loud, eating loud, giving blow by blow comment to each other, I wanna kill those people.

Anyhow, I'm working on a new layout for Crypticrain.com and I think I'm gonna centralized it, my fanfic sites, my blog my other miscellaneous stuff gonna be all there, so it'll be easy to find, or rather easier for me to keep track of.

It's almost done, just getting the html files ready and so, tomorrow at the store I'll try to do that, while I write the fics too... yeah I've been writing, not a lot in one sitting but it's pretty good, better than what I've been managed when I wait to get home to write anyway. I have enough to post now I think, just a bit of fine tuning and we got a post!

Hey Cin, how ya doing???

Listening : X-Mas [Sevendust]

so I'm updating my IPod nano, I got the lanyard in-ear headphone the day before. I should've gotten it from commart thinggie, but I was too busy looking for a silicone case that I forgot about it till I get home, which mean I had to get it later, which meant that I had to pay more for it than if I bought it at the convention.

My dad sold a building (um...I believe it called block building... just 1 room) and so the money got tranferred into my account the week before I went to the convention and thus I had enough money to get me a new laptop if I wanted. They got lots of them too, but I like buying these stuff from people that can answer my question, so I didn't get any, and I told my mother that I would've use some money for the new laptop she asked why didn't I, I said I don't wanna listen to her bitching at me, and also I didn't have much confident in those people to be paying that much money on something that expensive to find that it didn't work out so well. So I'll get it somewhere else I can get them to take responsibility if something went wrong. LOL

I better get my ass to bed, life still suck and I can only ignore everyone else around me.

Listening : Send the Pain Below [chevelle]

I went to ComMart thinggie in Bangkok today, I kinda expected it to be bigger, with more stuff, but it wasn't, so it was kinda disappointing, but I got me an Ipod Nano 2GB ( I wanted 4GB, but well, honestly, I don't think I'd be using all those space, I mean, I don't even fill up the 2gb with what I wanna listen to, sure I could fill it up, but will I listen to all of them? nope)

I got IPod Nano and Sony 1gb flash drive, a silicone sleeve for the ipod, that's it. so little for such a big effort. But at least I get to see my friends, so it was all right.

I better get my ass in bed, I'm tired.

Watching : Judging Amy

well, I don't know what to watch right now, thus Judging Amy.

I got my 42" Plasma screen tv on Saturday so it's a big happy, and no, my parents weren't gonna pay it for me, they just gonna front me the money. So, I'll be pinching pennies for the next say.... year?

My mother said, why don't I put it out in the living room so everybody else can watch it too.. I was like, if I was to be the one to cough up the money for it, then it's gonna be in my room, cause the next thing I know they'll be bitching at me for monopolizing it out there too... can't win, can I?

I brought out my 29" tv out to the livingroom though, the one that was in there before was smaller. Anyhow, I like my new toy, make me happy for a while. I can watch movie without feeling like it's so tight on the screen anymore.

Watching : Judging Amy

Today I dropped Gizmo off for a bath, he has to have one at least once a week, and I have to drop him off at the petshop to do it, cause well, he got so much fur now it takes hours to dry him off, thus paying someone else to do it. Then the girl at the store noticed that his eye's hurt.

Well, so it's to the vet next, got some eyedrop and he's been playing to his sick role ever since.

What a butthead.

He's been sleeping all day though.

I got all Blue Sonnet loaded this morning. I'm waiting for Cat's Eye, I use to read that manga and I had all 10 vol of it, but then well, I wasn't here, things got moved and disappeared. So now I'll have to buy them all over again, if they still have it in print or reprint.

I guess watching the anime will have to do for a while, I found that most of the time anime is pretty close to the manga, well, pretty close isn't exactly the same, but you get the gist and they are just as enjoyable. :)

Actually, I should be going to bed right about now... so I'm gonna do that while I let my ppc charge. Forgot to do it last night and the night before so now it's completely dead. lol... so much for keeping all my appointment current.

March 1st, Gizmo's appointment.

Watching : Medium

I bought a new PPC yesterday afternoon, it's an IPaq Hx2490 I wanted the other one which is a 6300 series, but they were discontinued and they don't have them in stock either. Too bad, it would've been perfect. Anyhow, this one is good for what I want it for. I was gonna go with the other one, hx2790, it looks exactly the same as 2490 with the exception of having more bell and whistle ( ie biometic fingerprint reader, now what am I gonna do with that??)

Well, I got my doctor's appointment all loaded up and some reading. A few notes to remind myself (like electric bill, water bill, cheque I need to write, that sorta crap) Now I'm saving up for a new laptop, cause I want one!

I'm so bad with these stuffs, I swear, sometimes I don't know what I want them for anyway. But I definitely can use a PPC even if just to remind me to do stuff like actually get my rabie shots on time. I almost miss one just last week.

Oh yeah, I got bit by a strayed the Saturday before last and well, spent my evening in the ER, getting a couple of shots and my wounds dressed ( 5 fangs ) Had little use of my right arm till the last couple of days, it's better now though, still hurting a bit, and my arm would ache from shoulder down, but it'll go away eventually. Well, I hope.

Ok, back to Medium.

Listening : Burn [ Alkaline Trio ]

I got bitten by a stray dog yesterday evening, 5 fang marks and some bleeding. I was heading out to bookstore anyway, so I just went out, my mother didn't even know I was bitten. I got to the hospital, waiting for a while cause they were swamped. Would you believe that? Anyway, I got shots and they dressed my wounds, recommended a serum I should get cause I got bitten on my right elbow but they were out of that one, so I had to go to the other hospital, I didn't go right then cause well, I was having a hard time bending my elbow and my should ached.

When I got home I found that I've lost my keys as well.

Beautiful day, really.. I mean.. I coulda kill for a day like that. (yeah, right!!)

So, today I went and get that damn serum, cost me pretty penny too. But I can claim with the insurance so it's ok.

Now, shower time, oh joy...

Watching : Outbreak

Yeah, I'm watching Outbreak, I never get to buy that dvd but everytime I saw it on any channel I watch it. I should really buy it the next time I see it on the shelve.

I've noticed something about these kids in my family... well, my brother my sister my cousins.. blah blah blah.. they have no repect for anyone or anyone's time. I told my brother to shut the hell up last night, he has to go over to my aunt's and he was watching cartoon till 10pm and when he got into the livingroom he kept saying let's go now. I told him shut up and until he can get his ass places by himself then he has no right to be rushing anyone, especially when he draged his ass in the first place. Fucking spoiled I'd say.

If I have my way he'd be in boarding school till he finish highschool, so he knows to do shit for himself.

This just annoys the hell out of me, I don't like people like that. You don't do anything and generally being a useless piece of flesh and still demand they get their way. Fuck that shit.

Watching : Animal Police

I'm planning on going to see Underworld : Evolution tomorrow evening, that if my mother isn't incapacitated by the dentist, she has an appoinment at 1 PM tomorrow, new set of teeth.. LOL she had an artificial roots implanted about 3 months ago, so now they are trying on some teeth.

Today is Chinese New Year, yeah... usually I got money in red envelop (well about 10 years ago) Now I get zip... Oh well. I was hoping maybe my dad's gonna give me some so I can get a new PPC, since my mother took mine, she plays solitair on it.

I'm guessing I'll get nothing.

Life suck man...

I got my car for a little over three months now, so it's time for the first service. I've been debating for ever, whether I wanna get it to Honda dealer for it, they offered the first service for free, it's either first 3 months or 1,000 miles.. and well, I don't have the time to be sitting on my ass for hours on end to wait for a free service. So I called up my uncle and ask about the garage he usually goes to. And I went with my aunt today. Pretty quick, I'd say, even with the time it took to drive there, which was not that far considering I use to drove farther than that for when I was in Methuen.

I got Rozen Maiden, the entire first season loaded, and still didn't watch it yet. I guess I will later. Also got the second too, and didn't watch it. MAR ep 27, hell, I hadn't watched the thing since ep 10. I'll get time to see it eventually.

I'm waiting for Underworld : Evolution. :) It'd be great.

Ok, time for shower and I'll be all set to watch Medium.

Watching : Monk

It's my birthday today, and it's just as shitty as any other day. Big surprise! We closed the store today around 6:30PM well, actually I would've to stay till maybe 8PM except we lost power for almost an hour, so we packed up and get ready to leave, but once we're finished and were closing the door, the power came back on!

What did I get for my birthday?

Well, some shirts... exactly 2, flowers, what the hell am I gonna do with flowers?

What did I get for Christmas?

Nothing

New year?

Nothing

Great year so far ain't it?

Watching : CSI : Miami

My dad is out of town, AGAIN. It gets annoying, I mean I do understand that he wants to stop working and all that shit, but then he's the one that created all that problem so he's gotta stay and fix the goddamn thing! I'm so sick with my family. I told him I should've come back, he said I shouldn't say that.

Why not??

Ever since I got back it's problem and I didn't cause it, everyone else did. I wanna be left by myself. I just want everyone to leave me alone, just drop dead and I'll be happy.

I don't need them, I really don't.

And they ask what do I have to be stressed about!!

What don't I have to be stressed about??!!

Fucking hate them.

Watching : Monk

My friends left this morning, which is kinda sad, I mean, I don't usually have anyone to complain to. Let's face it, nobody would've understand my ranting anyway. We all ended up sleeping and let the movie watched us everynight. Just couldn't keep our eyes open. LOL

I got them to play "Paint Doctor" with me, it was fun, I hadn't played it for so long I forgot all the rules and I had to figure it out all over again. I mean the damn directions they gave me wasn't all that clear. Where do you take the life point after you take it away, d'you keep it? Put it in the pile?? I ended up just putting it in the pile cause then it'd be too easy to get to the pre-op.

It was fun.

Changed my sheets, I have to get a new comforter.

I want a dvd recorder, my mom's gonna let me get one.

Gizmo's sick, he's got runny nose, a bit of fever, but still... he just couln't leave the mob alone!! I couldn't mob the floor, he kept running after it. He's asleep now though, good thing.

New year resolution... um... lose weight?? (after all that indulgent I definitely need to get them all off)

More drawing, more writing.

Definitely, more of the last two.

Watching : Charlie and Chocolate Factory

So, I hadn't update my blog in a long while due to...

1. I somehow screwed up the layout I made, it was the blog's code that I didn't get right so nothing get posted.

2. my comp was dead for a few days and I didn't get the time to figure out what I did wrong so...

3. I was, am, and will be BUSY AS HELL!!

Also I use the template provided by Blogger cause I don't have time for a new layout right now. clean and simple, it's ok though I'll figure it out what went wrong.

Didn't see The Chronicles of Nania : The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe cause I was too busy doing the damn work, I couldn't even get satureday free!!

well, I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I liked it.

I reread the book again just for the hack of it. At the same time I bought a used book Intensity by Dean Koontz, I saw the miniseries on Fox a few years back and I'm wondering if they got that on DVD since I found a lot of the miniseries ended up on dvd, which is good.

Hey Cin, are you moving yet?

Ok, I wish I was anywhere but here right now. Things just never seem to slow down. I'd like to just live alone, really, I would, it would've been so much better. My idiot of a sister just get into trouble, again. She should know better but nooooo... she just has to and my parents went nuts with her. Man, I wish I was by myself. I told my father I never did want a sister or brother, they are just more trouble than they are worth. My parents never really take care of us themselves, they have someone else do it. I was like an orphan with bank account, I do what I want, buy what I want, I just never really go crazy with it. Thank god for them I guess. I blew up in their faces every now and then, just because I can't stand what they do, especially about my sister. I mean, let;s we all be blind, that's how they want. And well, I blew up and tell them fuck no, I'm not that stupid and I won't pretend to me.

Ok... enough ranting..

God damn phone company.. took them forever and more to get back to me. I should just cancel the damn phone and get a different company, really, this one just fill with incompetend idoit, they can't even answer my question. I just get my ADSL back today, after a week, I do understand that sometimes nature make it hard, or just interrupted the service but get it back up jackass! Anyhow, if it happens again I'll be sure to tear them a new one.

New layout, yeah... almost done.. actually it was done once and I didn't like it so I make another one.. big fun!! Tonight I'll slice and dice and put it up.

Well, it's been a while... been busy, very very busy.

I wish it would slow down and I get to relax...

if wishes were horses... blah blah blah...

I got a car.. yeah I know.. I didn't think I was gonna get one.. didn't think I really care if I get one or not. Except the whole having to wait for other people, I was fine with the bike cause I can get pretty much all over town that way.

It's Honda Jazz:Cool.. black, with all available options on it. Pretty cool, pretty compact too. Just got it like a week ago. I'm gonna have to get all the windows tinted but that can wait. So, list of things to do for the car...

tinted windows (40% I think)
central lock
new cd player (possibly, maybe not.. I can live with the one came with the car, really, I'm not that bad...)
cd holders (I got one from before.. I guess that will do for now)

Ok, I got CSI season 5
CSI Miami season 3
ST:VOY season 1

I'm gonna go watch those now.

Watching : Chobits

Ok, I got my PSP on Wed, my cousin went to Hongkong on Friday and came back on Monday. I asked her to get me a PSP if the price was lower than the stores we've been asking. She knew what she was suppose to get, a Sony PSP region 2 with 1.5 firmware, of couse for some reason she didn't ask for much details I guess she saw that it was region 2 and version 1.5 she got it and not realize that it was 1.51, but since I already got it and opened the packaged and everything I'll have to make due with what I have. So now I'm thinking of just update it to v. 2.0

I like it though, it's a pretty shinny new toy.. My mom didn't know yet, well, I'm not sure if she knew, I mean I said it but I'm not sure she gets what I was telling her. However I'm gonna be completely broke from this. Been spending a lot of money on models too.. I mean.. I got a set of Hellsing and then I got a bunch of anime dvd. Now my mother wanted models.. so I basically been getting some for her.. (not my money, but well.. ya know ) She got a set of 4 girls small ones.. like 2" model.. and I got her a set of Cardcaptor Sakura with 5 of them and I got a 1/18 scale of Fumiko for her. I'm looking at another set of 3 from Gundam, and a set of 2 from Tenjou Tenge. Will cost quite a bit of money but when you get to the store and you just have to have them. I mean, WOW. They got everything from Magic the Gathering card, every set every booster set... so anyone want let me know. And she got tons of models.

Anyway, now I just want PSP games.. I like technologies, if you didn't notice it already. Been spending lots of money lately though I don't know.. oh well, after getting a game I think I'll just not buy anything else and watch all the dvd I got and finish a game or something.

'this is me with the words on the tip of my tongue and my eyes through the scope down a barrel of a gun.'

Playing : Need for Speed on Nintendo DS

Ok, I went and asked the price for PSP and well, we found that there's this store selling for less than the other stores I was asking by quite a bit of money and we didn't even start bargaining yet. My cousin is going to Hongkong so I'm waiting for her to check out the price of it there for me. If she can get it cheaper there I'm gonna have her get it for me, if not well, I know where I'm gonna get it now.

I got more anime today, I got Kujaku, 3x3 Eyes Sasan, Ghost in the Shell the series, Tenjou Tenge the movie. And on Monday I got Argentosoma, Tenjou Tenge the series, Chobits, and the week before that I got Bakuretsu Tenchi. I'll start watching Kujaku first, Argentosoma got left at the store so I can watch it during the day. Well, all in all I'm a happy camper. I got my mom a set of model ( the 2" ones ) there're 4 in the set, and also I got a 1/18 scale model one for her. The girl that is selling the stuff gave me pretty good price for it, so she said. But then I do understand, I usually don't bargain too hard for things, we all live on profits, if you get nothing out of a sale, what would you live on.

She showed me a Berserk model which cost like 13,000 and I WANT ONE!!! Man, I just don't have the money, although the next time I go there ( which will not be next week ) I'm gonna ask her about that NBC Jack in Santa costume with the Reindeer. She also got the set of Kingdom Heart, but she missed Jack, she said some girl bought that one with a pretty high price (said she was crying and stuff, she lost someone else's model so she had to get a replacement ) Too bad I would love to get that set.

Anyhow.. I post the first part of my new Fuffy, it's an Uber inspired by Sleeping Beauty and I got like 1 comment on it. I'm guessing no one likes it, I guess I'll just write and post it on my site only.

Well, I'm gonna go watch movie now... all the sleeping in the car with my neck getting all stiffy make me tired.

Watching : Bakuretsu Tenchi

So, today was the second day that I went in for class, yeah yeah yeah, class... It wasn't my idea but it wasn't a bad one, seeing how they won't be sending me to German for it. It's a class at School of Gemological Science (I think that was it SGS) So, I almost poke my eyrs out while looking for all the blemishes in the diamond.. man, talk about headache, my head hurts afterwards. And they told us that we'll get use to it and later we'll be looking at it with the loope, so it'll be worse. Anyhow...

We went to the market where they sell all kinds of model and games and stuff.. half of the shops were close, but well, I got a set of Hellsing model.. Arucard, Seras Victoria, Integra Wingates Hellsing, Walter C. Dolness, Anderson, Yan there were so many that I wanted.. also there were a set of Kingdom Heart one, but the ones they showed weren't for sale and the one they got was missing 1 figure, so it was out. I should've gotten Star Wars ones too.. and also Batman, and Berserk.. I just didn't wanna blow all my money. There'll be next time. I hope. I also got a set of DVD Bakuretsu Tenchi, I got all 24 ep loaded before, and the quality was good with English sub.. this one didn't have it, but I just want a set that will be nice to look at I guess.. I tend to lose the cd I burned cause they all look the same.

Now I want my Book binding book, Witch Hunter Robin dvd set. Oh well...

Watching : The Gathering

I've been carrying this spiral notebook ( the cover was hard so it was ok to be tossed around ) the cover was purple which I don't like but since it's gonna be taking some abuse I didn't care. I might feel like I shouldn't be doing that if it was other color, say blue for example. I've also tucked a fountain pen into the spine so I can find something to write with.

So... I got this idea when I thought of a novel that is base on 'Beauty and the Beast' story (not disney) and then I thought of Sleeping Beauty and I got an idea of a new Uber for Fuffy... yeah.. Sleeping Beauty. I wrote a page or so of it and then I stopped to write down some guildline for me.. a plot so I won't get all frustrated at the end. I think I got it now, a bare bone guildline for the story.. :) So next.. I'll be writing and posting it in parts.. I guess I'll do chapter thing this time. :)

It feels kinda good to be doing something creative after not having the time or the energy to do them for so long. I got Neverwinter Nights and well, slowly playing it, I'm not familiar with D&D and not really proficient with RPG games... as long as I don't get headache playing, I'll move on to the next game.. :) Just building up some tolerance here.

Well, bed now, cause I should watch the movie when I left it on.

Watching : Man of the House

I finished with Post Mortem the day before and well, I'm looking to get the next book, I think I spend more money on Manga, books, movies than I do anything else. I recently got the entire series of Chobits in a boxset (manga not the anime) and I got Pitaten from 1-4, and I'm gonna have to go back to get the rest, in the interest of getting a complete series. God Child is finished and I still don't know where am I gonna get the entire thing. I kept asking and they kept saying that they don't know if they can find it for me. And there's also the confusion of different title to each part while they all are the same series.

I'm gonna use the 'Brand' bottle ( chicken essence ) for glass etching, the bottle is about 2" high and the area I can etch is about 1.5" I already got the sticker on and cut out a 'B' for Buffy now I'm working the mechanic of etching a glass bottle out in my head. Do I wanna cover the rest of the area up and then dip the bottle into the acid or do I wanna just set the bottle over some clay and then make a wall surround the area and pour the acid into it. I guess I'll do the later cause it'll be less work that way. Now if I only can find the damn clay!

Well, off to see the rest to the movie and get the dogs in...

Reading : Post Mortem [ Patricia Cornwell ]

I finsihed HP: tHBP the death of the character surprised me.. although I can see how it would set up the last book, from here on it'll be even more difficult for Harry, I can't wait to see the last installment of the series. And it'll be another year.. HA!

I got the book through a bookstore here there are a few chain store that would sell them in English, what I didn't like was that I got the British one, they got 2 covers for the book, they didn't even ask which one I wanted.. I opted for the child's cover cause my other ones were. But I would really like American's version of it. Apparently my aunt got me a copy too.. so it's cool, if not I can always cough up another 750 and get another copy.. which I'm incline to do just for collection purposes.

So, now, back to a new layout, I ought to upload it tonight..

I haven't blog anything lately because I'm doing a new layout for the blog and this one feature Gizmo just when he was clear, which is a rare thing seeing how he likes to go stomping in the fish pond. I'm sure some Koi fishes of ours died of heartattack at this furry dog suddenly landed near them.. poor fishies.

anyhow it's almost done and so, you'll see.

Hey Cin, ya playing Guild War with G too?? I'm looking into it, I'm not sure if it's gonna release here anytime soon.. if not I might have my aunt send me a copy... it'll really suck if I can't get one.. maybe I should ask my cousin about it. ummm... My brother is into that Raknarok game... I never was all taken with games, but there are some I would play just to see how it is. Maybe I'll enjoy this one.

I went to see War of the World today and well, got the seat that was a little too close to the screen for my liking. I usually don't go to the movie on weekend as a rule, due to the fact that I don't like dealing with a lot of people and the price is always higher than weekday. I like spending less and deal with less people, better seat and just generally less things to be annoyed about.. call me antisocial.

Got new book, A Scarpetta Novel : Trace on Sat and I read some of it already. I should've started from the beginning, except I don't know which is the beginning. I read Cruel and Unusually before this and Trace is the latest and I found that even though the books can be read separately the events in the story are continuation and not in a small way. Thus I missed a lot of background info that I need to understand a lot of things.. I guess going back and start from the beginning will be a good idea. But I am lack of fund right now I have to watch what I spend, since I spent a little too much last month. I don't wanna be asking for more money even though I certainly can.

I'm slacking off at the store, but I do feel kinda burn out which is suck majory. It's like I don't have time for anything else anymore. Man, I miss the good old day.

Now I'm looking forward to see Fantastic Four although I don't like Jessica Alba. I don't think she's particularly good in a role of tough girl, she just doesn't look that way to me. I never bother with Dark Angel while it was on air. Anyhow, I can't wait for the next HP, only 12 days away.

Next movie of SMG Southern Tale oh yeah, I really can't wait to see her on big screen. Me think she's adorable and she's great in her role..

the more that we take
the paler we get
I can't remember what it is
we try to forget
the tile on the floor
so cold it could sting
in your eyes there's a place
warm with remembering

for you to go and take this and smash it apart
I've gone all this fucking way
to wind up back at - back at the start

the closer we think we are
well it only got us so far
have you got anything left to show
no I don't think so
the sooner we realize
we cover ourselves with lies
but underneath we are not so tough
love is not enough

well, it hides in the dark
like the withered vein
we didn't give it a mouth
so it cannot complain
we never really had a chance
we'd never really make it through
I never think I'd believe
I believed I could get better with you

ummmmmm.... what's to bitch and moan about...

oh yeah...

My aunt..

My mother's younger sister.

Well, my mom got 2 sisters, both younger, and one of them help babysit the toddler right now, and the other one... well, the other is basically being nothing but an old, over weight, sour grape. She bitches about everything, she even bitch about a puppy that was sitting quietly on a table top (due to the fact that the reception didn't want him to run into the street or someone took him) She told the receptionist to call the store at 7:30 PM and tell me to come pick up the dog, I mean, I'll be home at 8PM! What the fuck was her problem?

I don't like people that thinks just because they are sick or obese they have the right to bitch out about everyone else. I told her to fuck off a couple of times. She thinks everyone has to sit and listen to her, well, she got another thing coming. I don't care if my mom thinks she should be given that allowence cause I don't. She doesn't fucking do anything I don't see the reason to keep paying her. She just keep talking shit and generally being useless. Funny thing is, she seems to think that everyone owe her something.

She's a joke.

On another note, what is up with Gizmo today. He's been barking up the storm even when I put him in the bathroom, which is his usual sleeping place ( den ) he kept trying to come out, which I can't let him, cause he would take that as a permission to do it again. Well, now he's quiet, but man...

Patience is a virtue.

...

I'm not very patient then.

LOL

So, my desktop is back and well, it was the powersupply and mainboard (I think it's the powersupply that killed the mainboard) anyhow it's back.. but I'm loading stuff on here so I'm gonna use laptop for now till all the loading is done.

What's been happening... ummmm...

I'm busy, I have no creative juice.. I have ideas too many and I don't know where to start really. I wanna do too many things at the same time.. I wanna start making a book and well, I need to make some paper first which will need a day or two to get it right and more to make lots of it.. although I think I'm gonna go get some notebook (the thick, thick one they use for accounting) and get like 3 or 4 and then bind them together and make cover so I can write shit in it... I have way too many notebooks laying around already though.. LOL but I wanna do it anyway.. I wanna still have my bookbinding skill thank you very much. If I don't do it I'll forget the feel of it. I guess that's the main reason.. and also I like thick, thick books with good cover.. I binded a few books and I do like them, but they are not very thick the way I like them and they weren't for me.. like the alphabet book I made for senior studio.. they weren't for me, they were for project. I wanna do one for me..

I guess I'll need to list what I wanna do and then see which one I wanna do first.

Oh yeah, I think I'm gonna draw another B/F first before I do more writing. :)

Want : new pair of Oakley

Yeah, my old pair's getting a little roughen up... but that's usual, it's better than my last pair anyway.. LOL

My mother is mad at me, she was on and on about shit that I don't need to hear. Ya know, like the gossip. I don't need to know gossips to work. She has no information, just something people told her and guess what it annoyed the hell out of me. So I scolded at her, I just wanted her to shut the hell up and so she was mad. And I DON'T CARE. Fucking grow up already. All she does is bringing up old stuff, old stories and they are just not true. She kept saying she knows, truth is she doesn't. She doesn't know shit and I know she's my mother and I shouldn't be saying this but SHE SHOULD REALLY SHUT UP. I'm sick of this shit and I'm gonna have to throw it in her face if she doesn't stop. Maybe I'll just stay home tomorrow and fucking die in my room or something. Like I don't have enough shit to do.

I'm writing something.. cause I remember 'Back to Salem' and I like the idea, so I'm gonna take it and run with it.. see what will come out, if it's good, it'll get posted, if not well, I'll keep it to myself..

I wanna see Mr&Mrs Smith, also War of the World. Batman Begins.. I remembered seeing poster for 'Dark Water' not sure I wanna see another horror though, especially when they don't have anyone I interested in.. we'll see.

Gizmo is growing like weed and so is the new one.. man...

They are sleeping in my bathroom.. cause well, I wanna cornered them off so they don't make messes all over the house, now they seemed to know that they have to do their business outside.. but if I don't let them out, they still would go anywhere they could.. but they are puppies.. gotta be patient and all that.

watching : Bring it On

I think I broke my desktop, I mean I was on it and I heard a pop before the whole thing went dead... so it's logical to conclude that it's BROKEN!!! I'm on my laptop right now and it's no fun cause I can never really type comfortably on this thing. Anyhow, it'll get into the shop in a couple of days... maybe Sat cause I get a day off.. man, I really don't have any money right now.. and I hope I don't lose anything on that, I still got some anime I didn't get to watch yet on there and some stuff I did on photoshop as well as some writing.. this gonna suck.

Hey Cin how ya doing?

Hey Helga.. glad to have you back..

Watching : Taking Lives

New toy : Nintendo DS (silver)

I don't play games much as a rule, but I do like my toys. I actually wanted a Sony PSP but the price is just outrageous so I put that on hold and get something else that is affordable to me right now. Anyway, I'm play Super Mario (cause I missed that game) And I'm gonna order Buffy:TVS game for Gameboy Advance (because DS can play games from GBA too.. )

My head kinda hurt like the rest of me.. my uncle dragged me through an hour of bike riding (in gym what do you call those... biking?? I don't know) and it's been so long that I workout so I'm feeling it now.. anyhow I'll have to keep it up.

Well, I should get back to the movie and maybe some sleep.. My head might feel better that way. Oh yeah, maybe I'll change the movie.

Listening : Flaw

I saw SW: Episode III today and it was good, and it would've been better if I didn't feel like my bladder was about to bust half way through the movie. I actually sat through it without running out to the bathroom. I mean, it happens every bleeding time I went to the movie. I get really annoy and I shouldn't have that glass of coke when I went in, but I use to have that much water to drink and be ok for several hours, it just one of those things. I hate it. It was like Lord of the Rings : Return of the King all over again. I needed to go to the bathroom then too and I sat right through the movie holding it.... OK.. TMI I know.. LOL

Mom got a new pup, he's all black with white on his four feet and a little splash of it on his chin and chest. He's a mix Shihztu and Poodle, he has a face of a poodle and a body of a shihtzu, so... no cutting of the tail. He's pretty cute and he stuck on Gizmo like shadow.. LOL.

I want Nintendo DS and I'm getting one.. :) I wanna know if the games for it has region code like PS2 and XBox games or not.. if it does it'll be really suck. But I'm getting it anyway. I'm a spoiled brat, everyone knows that.

Listening: The Punisher OST

Well, I've been going to the store at like noon the last week or so.. cause my dad got my sister to go open the store so I didn't have to pick my ass up early in the morning after I had maybe 4-5 hours of sleep.

My mom is getting a new puppy, someone is offering it to her, so she accepted, tomorrow the pup will be here, I'm not sure how that's gonna work, cause well... Gizmo is still a pup, last thing I need is 2 puppies trying to kill each other.. and not to mention we got 2 poodles already. I don't know what's my mom was thinking.

I get Giz a bath today, cause he looked like a dirty kitchen rag, took some pics for the new layout for this too.. maybe a couple of days and I'll got it up.

Hey, Cin, how ya doing??

Wednesday my friend came over with her roommate and they stayed till Saturday, they were actually here for some seminar (cause they interned at the office at school) And so I told her to come over and stay at the house. We had fun... mostly just catching up and she told me about my other friends.. normal typical chats when you don't see each other for almost ten years.

She was so taken with Gizmo.. LOL.. well, both her and her roommate they love dogs. I gave her a bunch of mp3 and we watched movies. My idea of time off.. never ask me to go to some club cause I won't go.

Gizmo has been sleeping in my room, he doesn't like hot weather.. but well, when you got a dog with that much hair, it's to be expected.. he eats a lot and almost everything.

Hey Cin!! How ya doing?

I've been so busy with work, but I should be use to it by now.. although my father made my sister go to the store in the morning to open it so I don't really have to be hurry in the morning anymore.. now I just take my time and get up late.. no later than 10:30 though. Still, it was much better.

I got a couple pages of DL written, a little more and I'll be able to post. I should write faster than this but with my friends over I didn't really get the chance to write. But I will now and I need to make time for some workout too.. I need that or I'll go crazy.

Well, it's my day off today so last night I went to bed at around 5 AM. I was reading Claire McNab's book, Detective Inspector Carole Ashton series : Fall guy, and at the same time I was reading Laurell K. Hamilton's A Stroke of Midnight. (yeah I like Andais .. she's insane!)

I was trying to write also, and I did write about a page or so. I've been neglecting it lately and I shouldn't. I decided that from now on, I'm gonna spend an hour everyday just writing, drawing, collaging. It'll be good for me mentally. I know I needed that. Exercise my imagination, I should say.

I just got a haircut today, and every time I get my haircut they always, always tug at my earring.. and damnit, it hurts!! Well, I don't get my hair cut as often as I would like, but I got it all layered short, which is good cause it's hot here.. getting to be really really hot now, I hate heat! I guess it's a good thing I stay in air conditioned room most of the day.

Well, off to do a bit of writing.

Anyone know how to make a fishtank?

Watching : CSI:miami

Gizmo is getting big and he chews on shoes, not my shoes, my sister's and well.. it's kinda funny, the other night he chewed on her slippers, the Shingansen one.. the eyes and stuff were everywhere.. And he just laid there in the middle of it and looking all innocent, like nothing is wrong in the world..

Nothing is wrong in his world.

Watching: The OC

Well, I've been having the dizzying instances throughout the day for several days now and I don't like it. Make me think of something serious. I mean I've had little sleep for a period of time before and I never get it like this. It's not enough to knock me over or anything, but enough to annoy the hell out of me.

Work sucks, but that's the fact of life now.

I'm trying to do get me time, but it didn't seem to happen except late at night and now after I told my mom about the dizzy thing she told me not to go to bed late anymore.. yeah ok.. I need some time for myself too!!

she didn't get it though.

*sigh*

Today : Day off

So, I got the glass etching done and it came out pretty good, except where the glue residue is left because I couldn't get it all off. But for the first attempt it was pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Well, my homepage is up and guestbook is done!!!

So, what's new...

ummm...

I'm trying my hand with glass etching.. so I got the acid the other day, got a piece of mirror and I'm figuring out the picture that I'm gonna do.. and I got it..

I got Nightmare Before Christmas bag today and buttons, and well, I thought the picture would be perfect for my first project.. and voila! I'm working on it and by late tonight I can get it cut and ready for etching by tomorrow... And yes I'm pretty quick when I decide what I wanna do. It's doing it in class that I don't like. Not when people are looking over my shoulder to see what I'm doing.

I don't think it's all that different from when I was doing reductive conversion or etching for printmaking.

By tonight I have to finish the new layout for my new homepage, cause syntheticsoul is gone! And the guestbook too.. tonight.. tonight.

Gotta get it done tonight.

Watching : The Dead Zone

Ok, news... My current website is being up for renewal and I'm not going to renew it, I'm signing up for a new domain and new package entirely.. so Syntheticsoul.com will no longer be here... in its place there will be CrypticRain.com instead.. it'll take a little while to swicth things over, and this will be here for a little while longer..

My aunt is visiting Thailand and needless to say I had just about enough of her calling me on my cellphone, it's annoying. She did that guilttrip thing alittle too often. I got shit to do and not to mention I am sick at the moment and busy as hell.

Life suck.. oh well.. anyway.. new url for blog will soon be http:crypticrain.com/blog/ but how soon I will let you guys know.
