I've decided that I'm going to make the Dragon from The Tale of Earthsea over again.
Since the page I got it from scanned the template from the book, I wasn't sure of the sizes, and if they are all in the correct proportion, because my first one I ran into that problem, the scale won't fit over the tale, so if they don't fit the tail, then the rest won't make any different, so I'm making it over again, and this time I'll fit it first before I glue it in.
So, tonight I'm gonna do the menu, as much as I could and then I'll start with the r/c illu of my friend's, but I'll have to get a hold of her first, cause I'm not sure of the size. Otherwise I would've started it awhile back.
Then after that, I'll go back to the dragon.
Quote I really liked today :
'Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that the dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.' G.K. Chesterton

Wedding was yesterday.
My friend's wedding was yesterday, and well, I was the driver. Man, it's like going to the middle of nowhere. The drive was long and none of us really knows the way, so that just made it worse. Other than the really, really, really long drive.
We got lost, and also the wrong turns, we missed one turn, and then we turned at the wrong left, before we got to the place.
It was not my fault!!
I was just a driver.
The backseat drivers should be smacked for those turn, I was trying to watch the road, they were suppose to tell me which turn. And more often than not they told me too late.
Once we got there, the foods were slow in coming and then we left at the end, and then I was till the driver, but this time we went through town, they should've just letting me go that way in the first place, since it was nothing but straight drive (not that I am). We got home about 11:30pm.
My right leg was killing me afterwards, I hate driving long distances. It's not fun. Especially when you don't know where the hell you were going.
On a more uplifting note, Women's Murder Club...
Lindsay said to Cindy, if we are going to be in a relationship then there are ground rules. (relationship!??) Man, more and more subtext slipping through those lips of hers every episode. Grrrrrrrrr..
Makes me happy though.

Done with Cryptex.
I found a site (through another site) it's a papercraft site with a Cryptex!
It was awesome, I mean, to design that and it actually make sense and work (with a set password and stuff) Took me about a week, because I started with the key (that's what the guy called it, it's the piece that has the top and the core) one night and then the next night I did the second key (a piece with the bottom which has the 'lock') then I had to make 5 dials. So, I did that one per night. Because my neck was killing me and I think I can cut a relatively round circle with an X-acto knife and freehand now.
And well, here is my piece. I'm quite proud of it. Now if only I could finish that damn dragon!
Speaking of dragon, I'm still looking for a suitable one so I can cut onto a vinyl sticker and put on my laptop as a decor. :) I think that picture from the book Dragonhenge will make a good starting point, but well, I still have other things to do before that.
And a menu too.
Today I bought a new journal, it is pretty good with leather cover and very nice and thick handmade paper. I'm happy with it, finally, I rarely find a good one that I like, so this is good.
I mean I can draw on this, pencil, pen and ink, watercolor. Not that I would do watercolor, I'm just too lazy to clean up afterward, so it's either pen and ink or most likely pencil. I think the reason I never pick up watercolor or oil or acrylic painting because of that, the fact that I will have to clean up. Just not very appealing to me. That and I never get a proper introduction to them. Oh well, someday, when I have more time, I guess, as of now I'll stick to what I know, mostly.
Cin!! Well, I have to see if there's anything going on in Dec, what's the date of the competition?
Maybe I can take a drive out, but I won't know for sure.

My friend's wedding is on Saturday.
We went for seafood on Tuesday, my friend's dad was driving, and her mother went too, his truck was a half-cap, so there were her parents, 2, my friend and her sister, 2, me, a kid from the office and her sister's friend, there were 7 in total, at first my friend sat in the back, and then well, it rain!
So, she moved inside and the poor kid had to sit by himself in the back, good thing it didn't rain for long, or hard. So, we got there, the four of use stuffed into the back like a tuna in a can. LOL.
When we got there, we ate, and ate... and well.. ate.
Shrimp, mostly, shrimp 3kg. of it.
Soft-shell crabs, clams, squids. So fresh they were still swimming when we picked them out.
It was great!! With our hands, no spoon, or fork!
So, on the way back, all 5 of us were sitting in the truck bed. LOL... It was an hour ride (more or less) by the time we got back, my face was numb from the wide and hair. It was fun, though. She said we'll do it again in, maybe, two months. :)
I hope another friend could join us, actually, if she came with us, we would've brought another car. Which would be mine.
Well, I'll be driving on Saturday, anyhow, hopefully we won't get lost.
They are mostly all married now, what am I gonna do?!?!
Well, good for them, and good for me!
LOL.
I do not wanna get married, the thought of having to share everything with someone irks me. I cannot, as I've found, be reasonable with my space. I can't even imagine sharing a computer. LOL..
I'm just that bad.

I was watching the new ep of Women's Murder Club.
Man, I smell fanfiction potential. LOL.
I had to listen twice, the scene when Cindy told Lindsay that she would miss her if she (Cindy) wasn't around (and I thought there was a little pout too!) And then Lindsay replied, give me a chance to find out.
Also another one was when Cindy said that she's a report and a cop has to answer to the public, before Lindsay gave her a little info, then she said that if she sees the info she gave her in the papers then she (Cindy) gonna have to answer to her, which is so much worst than the public. (ummmmmm.... I can see some kinky story for this one)
Man, her voice!
LOL.
I found a site (Glue2 Chronicle) that has Cryptex papermodel last night. I was making it, well, not done yet, since I have to be more careful about it, I did the first and second key and I have to do the dial (there're 5 of them)
Maybe it'll come out ok, I don't know.
I've been doing a lot of papermodel lately, I just feel like doing something with my hands. I'm gonna have to do R/C illustration for a friend of mine, probably start tonight, I think it'll be 24"x24" it's probably gonna take about 9 pieces, (or maybe I'll make 'em in smaller square, then it'll double the amount and so, it'll be fun (for me to watch) for them to figure it out. :) Because some of them won't have more than a few black lines.
I'm gonna do a new layout for the blog too, I have AJ Cook, and it's half way done already. I'm thinking about background, I think I'm gonna keep it simple.
Well, so far my Olympus FE-280 works great! I took picture in the dark (the only light in the room was a lamp on my desk) and I could barely see my dog and the pic came out really good. No blur, and I can see the details clearly.
After I bought the camera, I went to Amazon.com and look up the review. I actually didn't mean to, really, since I bought it already and it doesn't really help anything since I can't return it. But the first review was pretty bad, the guy said that it doesn't work the way it was advertised, that the point and shoot doesn't shoot and he took the photo at the party, nothing came out clear. Took forever for it to take the photo even though the flash went off several seconds before. He said he's gonna return it and get a new Sony instead.
Make me feel bad, damn it.
I've always liked Olympus, my previous cameras were Olympus, so, this made me regret getting it, a little. But then I compared that to my own experience, and found that it wasn't like the guy's review, the cam took less than 2 seconds to turn on completely. (I cound 1-2 and the LCD came on and the cam was ready) All the photo I took came out good, no blur at all, even though I was taking a photo of my little nephew.
And you know how babies are, they never stay still for a second.
I took pictures of my dogs and they came out good. Just point'n shoot.
Then I found a second review that agreed with me, afterward. :)
So far I liked it, a lot. So, in the end, I guess that is all that matters.
I got some pictures of my newly arrived order.
1. Season 1&2 of Supernatural
2. Season 2 of Criminal Minds
3. Music of the Heart
4. ... First Do No Harm
5. Fist Wives Club
I'll get them here later.

New show to follow.
I sorta stumbled upon a new drama 'Women's Murder Club' it's really an accident, because I wouldn't have watch it otherwise. And surprise, surprise! Angie Harmon. I was kind of glad that I watched, :) and she played a cop!! I liked her in Law and Order, but I think I'll like her as a cop more. So far so good. (well, it's been only 1 ep) And it has serial killer, so it's even better, I like on going story line as well as the end in 1 ep ones. :) Something to look forward to.
Like I don't have enough to watch already. I finally finished with the Nodame Cantabile Live Action, my friend should be picking it up soon, and as for watching, I'm not sure if I will have the chance.
Lately, my mother's been monopolizing my Iomega Screenplay during the night, she's been watching A Haunting on it. I did want to order it for her, but apparently the DVD was not well made at all, the narration wasn't there. In my opinion the narration makes all the different. Without it, it wouldn't be as good.
I've been reading a lot of The Devil Wears Prada fanfiction a lot. And well, I think I have Mirandy on the brain!
I'm trying to write more though, I'm thinking that if I at least keep a notebook near me I will probably be more productive. Well, the D.I.Y Planner is a good place for looking for DIY planner, found a few templates that would work well, but I also have lots of notebooks around anyway, so, I probably will try both ways and see how it goes.

My new toy tonight...
I needed a new camera, well, I lost mine for years now and I've been using my mother's little Nikon, which for some reason doesn't work anymore. I don't think I dropped it (or I would've remembered) but I can't really be sure since my backpack wasn't in my possession several times last week. (my mother was holding it for me, and well, if she tossed it on the floor, I wouldn't have known that)
So I finally decided that I'd get one for me... I saw a commercial for Panasonic Lumix on TV several times and I thought, cool! It looked nice on TV, but when I saw the actually camera I didn't feel that 'thing' that make me wanna buy it. I don't know. It just didn't do it for me. Then I saw the Olympus one. I liked Olympus and it looked pretty good and pretty small, enough to tug into smaller pocket of my backpack and not being a bother. And so I decided to get it.. it cost me about $233. I figure, whether I buy it now or a week after, it'll still cost me, so despite the fact that I just ordered several things from amazon.com I just put it on the card.
I didn't get the pic of the actual camera because of the obvious reason. :)
I ordered several things this month (I hadn't ordered anything in several months now, to minimize the shipping, I would keep a list and put them in one order) This time I got...
1. Supernatural season 1&2
2. Criminal Minds season 2
3. Music of the Heart (because it's Meryl Streep and I'm on Meryl Streep kick right now)
4. ... First Do No Harm (and Meryl Streep)
5. The Fist Wives Club (because I wanna see Bette Midler)
6. The Harlequin Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series #15
The package should get here by next week (the estimate was between the Oct 25 and Nov 5) Well, I don't know, I hope it gets here soon. I can't wait to see the package and stuff for the series, and the new Anita Blake book (although it reads more and more like soft porn these days) I don't know, I'm just one of those that if I get them in series then I'll keep buying, even when I lost interest sometimes.
I'm also dabbing into some Papercraft lately. I'm making the Dragon from The Tale of Earthsea right now.. I got it from .. Tehanu's Flight and I'm taking my time with it, slow build seems to be the best way to go about this, since I tend to hurry things up for now reason other than I want it to be done. But if I do that then it won't work. I really wanna finish this.

Desperation
I just got a hold of Stephen King's Desperation, still watching it at the store... I'm not sure that's gonna fly. Seeing how I get interrupted every 2 minutes. Well, we'll see if I can watch it I guess. A good thing is it has Annabeth Gish, I liked her a lot from The X-Files. Don't know why, I just do. :)
Also watched Criminal Minds season 3 episode 2.
I do hope that Hotchner stayed, because I could just see how it would suffer (the team) if he's gone too, since Gideon is gone now. (hopefully he'll be back) and I like Prentiss, better than Elle, I think Elle was too cocky, and a bit self-centered for my liking. Just one of those things. The episode was good, see how the team would work (or really, wouldn't) when it got separated, and the section chief wasn't so great now that she got to see everything first hand. (big shock there... really)
Is there trouble in paradise for Hotch, who's that calling and hanging up when he answered the phone... um.. Well, I do like the show a lot, so this is fun for me.
I got all ep of Nanoha strikerS and I still don't get the chance to see them yet. I'm looking forward to seeing Stardust though. Tomorrow, I'm going with a friend. Well, it's not set in stone yet, but we'll see.
I have an idea for a little laptop decor. A little dragon. We'll see if it'll materialize. (huh!) Right now I'm once again looking at home Wireless Networking.

My friends and I are planning on making some brownies today.
Well, not really from scratch, because, you know, we can't possibly pull that one off!!
Went to see Resident Evil : Extinction.
I liked it, and the fact that there are hundreds of Alice clones!
Harem!! *cough*
I enjoyed the fighting sequence too, although this had the feel of a filling before another part, but still, not a bad bridge. I can't wait to see the army of Alice's storming the HQ of Umbrella Corps. Sounds like fun!! And lots of explosion too!
Before I went and saw the movie, I came across a toy store... yeah, I know.. it's like a dead trap for me. So, I spent most of my money on a 1/6 model of Shimuca (or rather Simca like on the side of the box) from Airgear. It was beautiful, I just couldn't help myself.
I also wanted to get Saber, but they didn't have the one in goth loli with sword, instead they have the Saber from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia holding a bag of hamburger. Cute, but not yet. :)
Next I'm getting Ringo!!

Series premiere
In the past couple of days, I had the pleasure of watching 3 spanking new episodes of my favorite shows. Bones, Shark, and Criminal Minds. Of course I've been rather preoccupied that I didn't really have the attention required to watch them. But so far they were all good.
Also I finally got the rest of the episodes of Close to Home (starring Jennifer Finnigan) So, I have plenty to watch for the next day or two, but at the same time, I'm suppose to be translating something as a favor to my PT.
And I have a book I wanna finish.
FUN!
Well, I'm reading The Devil Wears Prada and so far I think that Andrea in the book was rather disgusting and Miranda was well, not as likable as in the movie, but I don't think she was any more of a bitch than in the movie (kudos to Meryl Streep, she was excellent!) Good thing they cleaned up Andy in the movie, or I would hate her soon as I saw her open her mouth.
In the book she was not very sympathetic in her behavior. I couldn't feel bad for her, not even once.
Well, I still have a little over 100 pages to go, it might get better. Or rather her personality might get better.
Or not.

Surprise, surprise!!
Yesterday I got a couple of calls that I never thought I would ever going to get, and no, it was not a good thing.
One of them was my cousin, which I grew up with but didn't see for over ten years already. And he called me to borrow some money. All I can say is HELL NO!
I don't have the money to be throwing around, especially with someone I know I won't get any of it back, so no way in hell. I'm not that much of a masochist. I have my limit.
And then another call, from LCF, man, my gut is wicked nervous right then, and not in a good way. I didn't think of her for so long and I didn't expect to ever hear from her ever again. (and I thought that if I ever did it would be too soon, apparently, I shouldn't have thought that) It's been over 2 years, though I did have a feeling that I would be hearing from her.
Anyhow, moving on.
I went to see 1408 last night, it was good, I enjoyed it a lot. Very character driven, and it was like watching someone that's about to lose their mind and entering into the realm of insanity. Like watching people going slowly insane, it was good. :) There were a few moments here and there that gave me a scare, and that's saying a lot! I don't usually jump from seeing something popped up in a movie. But this movie made me jump a couple of times.
I did question my own sanity for going to a horror movie at 0:40am. And now I'm suffering for it, since I went to bed at 4:30am and then woke up at 7am went back to bed 8am and woke up again at 9:30am. I so hate my life right now.
Speaking of movie, I'm very much looking forward to Resident Evil : Extinction. I think Sat night will be a good night for it, :)
On the other note, I dropped by the bookstore and bought me a copy of The Devil Wears Prada last night, it's a good thing that the place close at 11pm, since I got out of the gym around 10:45pm. So far I enjoy the book.

over my bed
Last night I finally put up the piece of SMG that I did a while ago, which I kept on the shelve above my desk, wrapped in a piece of newsprint. I really had no intention of doing anything with it, since I only did it for my figure drawing class. But well, I have this blank wall above my headboard that had nothing on it. I originally gonna put small piece of Shiznat did with the same technique, but then a pig center piece wouldn't hurt, and a variety was a good thing too, so it's Shiznat from Mai Otome and SMG, I think I'm gonna have to dig up the Eliza Dushku one out and also the Hellsing one.. somehow I don't think I have enough space for that now.
I guess it's the smaller ones from now on.. (or medium size, nothing too big)
I'm watching The Devil Wears Prada. I really like Meryl Streep from this movie, so I'm thinking I might get a book. :)

Watching : ST : Voyager
I finally got the rubber cover grill thing (the kind they use to hang stuff in stores) And I had to cut it up to size (I thought they would have more sizes, but apparently they did not) My hands hurt from it, but it got it cut and I put the bricks and cords from both the HDD external on it and tied it up with zipties, just so I can get them off of the floor (easier to clean up) and I really don't want a nest of wire to clutter up around the HDD external (the drives were hot enough without anything around) it improves the air circulation immensely, which is what I wanted.
And after that I still got a piece big enough, so I brought it to the store. Originally, I had the DSL modem and the excess wires and cords in the drawer, which of course, doesn't have any air circulation at all. I couldn't leave the drawer open or someone will definitely trip on it. Not a very good thing, seeing how it'll probably be my mother.
So, I tied up the cords and modem onto the grill and then the power strip, and the LAN line, as well as the excess phoneline. All of them quite long, but it's better now and the modem won't get too hot anymore. I put up a 3M hook to hold the grill upright, it was a small hook, but since it doesn't have to hold up any weight, but simply hold it in place, I'm not really worry. The mess looks much, much better now, I think.
Now I'm thinking I should get one of those twist tie thing. Tomorrow I think.

I went to an Aikido class today. Actually, it was on a trial basis at the gym that I am a member (Sports Club) The membership of which I am about to run out. LOL. I'll continue, I'm pretty sure now, and the other one I'll just give it to my sister. The transfer wasn't complicated so, it should be fine.
I liked the class, a lot, I mean I've always wanted to try Aikido, and this was pretty cool. And I miss the physicality of it, after not practicing Karate for 3 years, I miss it a lot. This will be good, I'm not sure how it's gonna go, because the trail period end in Oct, so, hopefully they continue, I'll even pay extra for it, it'll be really good too... Any self-defense classes are good, I think, for just about everything, it helps with the stress, a lot, as I've learned that first hand. :)
I'm watching Close to Home season 1, I kinda like it and I think Jennifer Finnigan is cute as a button (well, she got that, blonde blue eyed, so...)
I got a new HDD external drive which is 250 GB. So, I'll keep some of my anime on it, those that I keep till the dvd's out. (if they ever gonna be released here.) Just stuffs that are pretty much filled up my hard drive.
They have 3 colors, and I picked the blue one, pretty color and I really like the blue light too! I got it a week or so ago, and I simply didn't have the energy to get to the back of my cpu to plug it in, and I finally get to tonight.
One of the receptionists was in the accident this morning, apparently she did not show up (which I had no idea since I was dragged out of bed to drive my mother to see the doctor) And they had been trying to get a hold of her and couldn't. I was saying that something must've happened, because she doesn't just miss work, not without a good reason. And Voila! we got a call from her sister that she's in the hospital. I guess tomorrow I'll be driving my aunt and my mom to see her.
Mom picked up a bunch of orchids and plants today, my aunt got fishes, me... I get to drive all day! Not fun, let me tell you, not fun at all.

September 09, 2007
We had a house warming of sort yesterday.
It was more of a religious thing anyway, took so much time and energy to prepare and it was all over by 1pm. My mother and my aunt spent all last week preparing for it, cooking, cleaning (mostly it's dessert they were making, but you know how much time those take!?) So, it's me being chained to the store (technically speaking) for the entire day. Most of the relatives were there yesterday and some of my parents acquaintances and family friends. I spent the entire time sitting outside with my cousins, chatting.
Afterwards we ran over to the computer store with one of my cousins, she wanted Nintendo DS. But at the moment she's saving up for it, so in the mean time she wanted to check out the price and also get a game. She borrowed mine for now. I haven't been playing with it for a long while now so, I have no idea what's going on with DS these days.
I better looking around, I guess.
We also went to the shooting range, well, with my other cousin that is. we shot about
2 boxes of ammo (that's 100 bullets), we got .22 and .38 the .22 was a bit heavy, surprisingly. It was fun though. We'll do it again soon, or so I hope. They also have horse back riding and base jumping and clay shooting too. Maybe we'll try one of those next time. Though I still want my archery set.

dressing up my accer stage 2
So, the next stage, I added another piece to it last night, and since I got them cut at a different time, I ran into a little trouble of the pieces ran into each other, which really wasn't that hard to rectify, I just had to cut whatever piece that overlapped out. It looks ok, I think. There'll be another piece to add at the bottom, and after that I might leave it alone for maybe a month or two, cause I kinda wanna put Integra Hellsing on this. :)
My friend asked if I can do one for her, well, I could. When she show up that is. LOL.
Then another one of my friend would've argue that I could get it cut by machine and it'll look better. I guess I could, but what's the fun in that?!
Tonight, another piece.

dressing up my accer, stage 1
I was looking at a bunch of MacBook that got some laser etching, and they looked good! I really liked it, unfortunately I don't have Mac and even if I did, I still won't be able to get it laser etched (not that I would, I like the option of changing the look if I want, and laser etching will take that option away)
What I have is Accer Aspire 4710G, which has textured finished, The top has that polished reflective strip of black, so I figure I could do something. I bought several sheets of vinyl stickers in black, as well as clear contact paper in rolls! My first thought was using the clear contact paper, however, it doesn't work very well, when the surface is already textured, (if it's the glossy finished then the clear contact paper would've worked very well.) So, I moved on and tried the black stickers instead. Before I did all this, I took a small piece of each ones and stuck it on the laptop then pulled out to see if it'll leave the glue residue on it, which none of them did. (if there's residue I might not do it at all)
Then I picked the glossy back vinyl and cut out the image by hand (with my trusty x-acto.) Then I transfered it with masking tape, almost lose small pieces several times, but well, I tried to slow down and not just ripping the tape out (or I might have to start over)
This is only the first stage, I'm adding a few more things and I might try the textured sticker one, to see if it'll give me the impression dimension. And I think I might add 'cogito ergo sum' (I think therefore I am), or maybe something else, I'm thinking... but everything can be changed so it's not a big deal, only a bit of time that will be lost.
I did this at about 1:30 in the morning, cut and clean and stuck on the laptop itself, well, I ended up going to bed around 4am.
If I just go ahead and cut without stopping to read this and that and watch 'How Clean Is Your House?' I probably finished it quicker, but who's checking? LOL.

Continue from last night :
Ok, so I found this store iStudio, they sell Mac accessories and other things, so I got Solar Charger there (and I already knew the moment I saw it that this's going to be my favorite store!)
They also have that laptop stand and such, a bunch of comp accessories and so... I'm in love with it
I did buy a bugweed pillow as well, expensive, but well, it was rather worth it. Only a night and I felt the difference, I didn't wake up with a kink in my neck this morning and I slept through the night. (except when Gizmo barked to get some water). I'd get one for mom, but she's just the type to not use it. She's just that stubborn about things. And if she won't use it, then well, as expensive as it is if she doesn't use it then it is really expensive, if she uses it, then it is worth the money.
I'm still contemplating the wireless networking, even if just so I can play psp online... or maybe not, so far I don't see the point just yet.
I watched The Bridge to Terabethia today. I liked it. With the cover you might expect another Nania, but this isn't. It's about 2 kids, outcast, one because she was a new girl and have rather strange look at things, and the other was poor, they paired up and created a world of their own. I think my niece liked it. But she fell asleep. LOL.
September 01, 2007
Today was my day off, actually I should say that it's the day that the store closes, however, I don't actually get it off, the only difference is, I get to sleep late, but that's about it. So, I had to take my aunt shopping (getting things for my house, and such, still I'm a driver) And it usually before I get my breakfast/lunch.
Anyhow, I decided to go to the movie, 'cause I want to. Went to see 'Invasion' stared Nicole Kidman. It was good, I was kinda surprise, well, a little. It started like typical Alien invasion movie, (something like Puppetmaster came to mind) There's a sense of urgency throughout the movie, which I liked, a lot. Kept me on the edge of my seat and I didn't get bored, although there were times that the movie was a bit confusing, but I do think that it fitted the state of mind that the main character was in.
Nicole Kidman looked pretty good in it, too. So, it's a plus. I like her in these kind of role, her desperation and exhaustion was palpable (well, makeup does help, with those red rimmed eyes, tousled hair) The way her face barely contain the feeling when the character had to be out among the Alien.
The transformation from human to alien during REM sleep was not overdone. I've seen a lot of movies that just pushed the gore just a bit too much. This one was on the minimal side. Though there was this one scene when the Press conference was going on and the waiters at the back were basically barfing into the water, YUCK!! And I was eating, too.
The movie was shorter than I'd expected it. A little under 2 hours (maybe I watched those movies too much, the ones that were just won't work under 2 hours, always 2 and a half or more) And with a happy ending. LOL. I half expected to see her turned and all hope lost at the end, even though I knew it wasn't going to be that way. And it wasn't, everything got saved in the nick of time.
When the movie was over it was before 11pm. So it was pretty good, since it wasn't too late and meant that I will get to bed before 3am. I've learned that the later I get home is the even later I'd go to bed. I once got home at 4:30am. from my friend's house, we were talking and just completely forgot the time, anyhow, I got home and still I got cleaned up and other things, I ended up really going to be after 5am. Me and my bad habit, I guess.
I also found a store which, I think I'd become a regular. LOL. I do love toys. I was thinking of getting something to raise up the bottom of my laptop and I found these little things they sold there, perfect, really perfect. Well, that's a story for tomorrow. :)
I'm gonna go watch Mai Otome (again) now.

August 31, 2007
These are what I carry in the backpack to and from the store everyday, I took them all out the night before to inspect how dirty my backpack is. And well, it's pretty bad, all those dirt and stain. It's time I wash it, I think. But before that I need a replacement because I do need these.
There's my DCSoesCo. backpack, Staedtler triplus fineliner in sets of 10 colors, my Ipaq phone, Olfa silver exacto knife, pocket watch, ipod nano, my Oakley whisker, iomega screenplay, 3 sets of keys, a dvd case that carry one dvd or another, my notebook with black staedtler tucked in the spiral for writing fanfic and whatnot, my Nikon digital cam that really belonged to my mother, but she doesn't use it, so I do.
They don't weight very much altogether, really. And I travel to work by motorcycle, so to have these on me, weren't that much of an ordeal.
I would be carrying my laptop too, except I left that at the store, so I don't have to carry it back and fort everyday.
Oh yeah, and I also take my dog everyday, he sits in the front basket. (and no he doesn't try to jump.)
I took the pic because, um.. I don't know, too many visits to lifehacker I guess, so I wanna see what clutter do I carry around with me. (and something to blog about, in case Jamie is reading..LOL)
Well, I went and pick up a soft bag for my laptop yesterday and saw a laptop backpack that I wanted, it has lots of pocket and looking pretty good too!
On the other note, I'm about to start watching Nodame Cantabile, my friend recommended it (her friend recommended it to her) The anime is 23 ep long I believe, and the Live-action is 11 ep. I still have lots ot catch up though. I should really start with watching all my Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles first.
Claymore manga still isn't out yet, I got it up to vol 11. The characters are pretty nice looking and the story line reminded me of Berserk. Let's hope it doesn't drag out as long as Berserk though, it gets tiring now. It could've end nicely about half way back. There're a few manga that are like that. (ex. Dragonball, even St. Seiya)
I watched first ep. of Zombie Loan the other day, it's by Peach Pit, the same that gave us Rozen Maiden (and I really like that series) so I'm gonna continue watching this one too.
I'm waiting with my batted breath for Mai Otome Zwei 4, it should be out on the 24th and so since I can't understand Japanese I'm waiting for Fansub to come out. Now, my friend's friend is coming back from Japan in a couple of months, I think I'm gonna ask her to ask him to get all 4 for me. Maybe, if it's not too much trouble that is, since he's not my friend. Maybe I'll just order Amazon Japan. Man, so many things to get. And I need a set of pen nibs too. I lost the entire set a while back. (damnit!)
I'm broke.
There's my DCSoesCo. backpack, Staedtler triplus fineliner in sets of 10 colors, my Ipaq phone, Olfa silver exacto knife, pocket watch, ipod nano, my Oakley whisker, iomega screenplay, 3 sets of keys, a dvd case that carry one dvd or another, my notebook with black staedtler tucked in the spiral for writing fanfic and whatnot, my Nikon digital cam that really belonged to my mother, but she doesn't use it, so I do.
They don't weight very much altogether, really. And I travel to work by motorcycle, so to have these on me, weren't that much of an ordeal.
I would be carrying my laptop too, except I left that at the store, so I don't have to carry it back and fort everyday.
Oh yeah, and I also take my dog everyday, he sits in the front basket. (and no he doesn't try to jump.)
I took the pic because, um.. I don't know, too many visits to lifehacker I guess, so I wanna see what clutter do I carry around with me. (and something to blog about, in case Jamie is reading..LOL)
Well, I went and pick up a soft bag for my laptop yesterday and saw a laptop backpack that I wanted, it has lots of pocket and looking pretty good too!
On the other note, I'm about to start watching Nodame Cantabile, my friend recommended it (her friend recommended it to her) The anime is 23 ep long I believe, and the Live-action is 11 ep. I still have lots ot catch up though. I should really start with watching all my Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles first.
Claymore manga still isn't out yet, I got it up to vol 11. The characters are pretty nice looking and the story line reminded me of Berserk. Let's hope it doesn't drag out as long as Berserk though, it gets tiring now. It could've end nicely about half way back. There're a few manga that are like that. (ex. Dragonball, even St. Seiya)
I watched first ep. of Zombie Loan the other day, it's by Peach Pit, the same that gave us Rozen Maiden (and I really like that series) so I'm gonna continue watching this one too.
I'm waiting with my batted breath for Mai Otome Zwei 4, it should be out on the 24th and so since I can't understand Japanese I'm waiting for Fansub to come out. Now, my friend's friend is coming back from Japan in a couple of months, I think I'm gonna ask her to ask him to get all 4 for me. Maybe, if it's not too much trouble that is, since he's not my friend. Maybe I'll just order Amazon Japan. Man, so many things to get. And I need a set of pen nibs too. I lost the entire set a while back. (damnit!)
I'm broke.
