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.
