Now,

I'm relaxing with my green tea, doing my things online, while chatting with one or two friends enjoyably.

While suffering severe muscle pain ALL OVER my body.

Due to the fact that yesterday, I had another de-clutter my room session again. Last time was about 6 months ago, this one.

Except that this time, I didn't find dust rolled into a cylindrical shape, instead of those cute little dust rolls, I found something even more exciting (yes I'm being sarcastic), which are

INSECT EGGS

hidden behind some of my stuffs (which had been there for about 10 years or so I guess, I couldn't really remember).

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT ask me WHAT insect eggs are those, because I SHUDDER to even think about the eggs. All I did, the moment I saw those bloodygoddamned eggs, is to SUCK THE HELL UP with my lovely, trusty, god-bless-them vacuum cleaner. Without thinking much about it. So yeah that's how I cleared the bloody things.

My operation was pretty simple actually. I set out, at 3pm, to clear and chuck two three-boxed colour boxes which is situated above my TINY closet. At the same time I dig out all my paperbacks and relocate them into my glass cabinet which is a new furniture I have.

Apparently I kept USELESS things from 13 years ago. Things like unmarked homeworks. From my FIRST GRADE.

It seems like I'm a very sentimental person after all eh? Sadly I can't find any love notes since 13 years ago. I wonder where I hid them instead.

Just kidding, ugly people like me don't have love notes from cute boys when I was 7.

Anyway, I finished clearing up my stuff, and the insect eggs, at 2am.

Yes, that's 11 hours of hard work and labour for me. I went to bed, shit tired, after watching the Portugal-Spain game on live (Ha! Now where's the advertisement star Ronaldo's going to hide his face??), at 4 something am.

Then, today morning, I woke up in a dead person's body. Totally petrified, like how people got "petrificus totalus!" (yes I still remember that damn spell from Harry Potter), but instead of the regular Petrification spell, this is something even nicer, which came with severe MUSCLE PAIN and inability to even get out of my bed.

But in the end of course I struggled out of my bed and moved my body in great pain.

And when I grumbled about it to my dad, he replied cheerfully with a "this is what you get for clearing your stuff every 10 years".

If he finishes that with a wink, I swear I might strangle him with both my hands.

And now, I'm happily drinking my green tea, recounting my fascinating yesterday, which involves lovely insect eggs and muscle pains *shudders*

Korean Heat Wave

I'm sorry to say that I feel utterly indifferent about it.

Maybe it's because it's within my nature to dislike overrated, or mainstreamed, or popular things. And unfortunately at this time of the year, it's about the Koreans. Korean boys, korean dramas, korean language, heck, even the korean team for FIFA world cup. EVERY-FREAKING-WHERE I go, there MUST be someone posting or fantasizing or display-photoing the koreans.

And don't you dare mention "Wonder Girls" or "Super Junior" in my face, and also "Nobody" or "SNSD" as well, cuz I might puke. Really, I will.

And it even adds to my negative perception about it even more when I discover the fact that,

To the Koreans, it's a norm to have PLASTIC SURGERY.

Yes. It's a norm.

So, if you have the free time to make the connection, joining-the-d0ts as we call it, the mainstream loves the Korean because they're pretty/handsome, and SOME (I said some not all so don't start counter-attacking me) of them have the desired effect all thanks to plastic surgery, so... in the end, who, or shall we say, WHAT, exactly are we actually liking?

That's right: The mainstream loves the beautiful face of PLASTIC SURGERY.

Also, it tells us that the society these days are into appearances in more vain ways than it ever could. Forget about morality, forget about warmth that makes relationships sparkle, forget about intelligence and talent, let us all place APPEARANCE in the center of the stage, and all us sinners shall support it with all our heart and soul.

Oh, except me. You all can go on ahead.

I'm done letting out my thoughts.

And, please don't dislike me due to this post, dislike the fact that what I'm saying could be very true, as they say, "don't blame the messenger".

A Resolution

I'm going to QUIT facebook games.

Just don't think it's gonna work, with a P level paper next sem AND audit paper (you know how I will die over audit paper) AND Japanese lessons.

Not to mention, I'm kinda (I said KINDA) fed up with them already, with GOOD reasons: all the collecting cute things in PS every single week BUT not having enough rooms to place them AND the things end up accumulating in the inventory and I got so mad at the inventory sorting system and--- And that RC, every week new dishes will be out AND a new ingredient every other fortnight AND this whole --- ARGH. BESIDES, my browsers are so friggin slow and Firefox always crashes (but I use Chrome now, the thing is just so faneffingtastic) and this adds on to my anxiety level which I am personally measuring everyday to see if I really am an OCD (and yes I am!! Whoppee! NOT).

Also, I'm beginning to pick up pace in anime (Alter Ego of Yvonne: AHA!! So THAT'S the real reason!!!).

So, I'm making a resolution: Starting today, I'm not gonna play facebook games.

And I mean it. Because I don't feel love for it anymore. Really. T_T.

Cheers to unlocking-social-games-handcuffs!!

DREAD Again

In a few days, my college will be starting soon.

The cycle will resume back to: go to college, be intimidated by the knowledge opened up to me, be freaked out at the kind of things and the amount of it that I have to cram in WITHIN 5 months and sit for the exam of it in 6 months, go home, have meals, study a bit, feel lack of happiness in life, go online, entertain myself with animes and shows, realize that my assignment is not finished after I'm done, finish assignment, go to sleep.

Then the next day I will wake up feeling totally depressed all over again.

Oh yeah, it's going to be so much fun.

Btw, what is this that I heard about Kevjumba being on AMAZING RACE SEASON 17 WITH HIS DAD?????????????????

No. No. NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Someone must've dreamt about it and spread the rumours on the web. That is so unreal.

But awesome. At the same time.

I got sort of excited. Yeah. And cannot wait to see the duo on AMAZING RACE.

Now, I have something to look forward to. Besides Japanese class every week :D

Yvonne..

P.S. I know you guys miss my Food posts. At least I miss them too. I'll try to get something up soon enough ok?

Maybe...

...it's time for me to do some self-reflection.

I thought, it's fine by just being myself but it seems like that is not important anymore.

It now certainly looks to me that, what people perceive of you is the most important.

Should I start being someone I really am not, in order to get back in there again?

I don't know.

I used to have a very strong sense of right and wrong but sometimes it gets so blurred. So very blurred.

Being 20, a quarter of the average age people lives to without any accident or sickness, I feel way worse than when I was 17 or younger, able to tell you right away what should you do in that circumstances, what should you not do, what is the best thing, and that kind of things. There are a lot of questions in my head which are not there when I was 17 and now no one can answer. Not even guidance of history or religion.

I wonder if it's just me. I do have the feeling that it's just me.

Self-reflection.

Outburst: Kaichou wa Maid-sama!

Disclaimer: This is not a review, but an outburst by a girl who is now helplessly having hots for a certain guy in a certain anime.

USUI.

USUI.

USUI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, let me settle my boiling, doki-doki feelings for him so that I can put my burning feelings into words.

Ok. Here goes:

HE IS THE HOTTEST MAN ON THE EARTH.

(for now)

AND THIS ANIME IS TO BE BLAMED. (suddenly blaming innocent anime out of the blue)

THIS ANIME---IS---*DESIGNED*---TO MAKE US---I.E. ANIME-FAN GIRLS---FALL IN LOVE WITH USUI.

Yes. Even me. The cool-headed one when it comes to anime. The unique-taste one when it comes to mainstream anime. The not-easily-fooled-by-good-looks-and-cool-demeanor girl.

Because.

He.

Is.

Just.

Simply.

SMOKIN' HOT.

Yes. There. I've said it. With no sense of covering it up or whatever. I am so in love with Usui.

Not because he's good looking, not because he's cool. I could get that from any other animes lying about in my lair.

Although yes those two points sort of counts to the big picture, you get what I mean. And that's not the point.

He's POSSESSIVE, and DOMINANT. That sort of brought the hot level to 70% now.

You know what made the level hit home? Go on, guess, go on.

GLASSES. DAMMIT.

I know, so pathetic right. Just one scene, from episode 11, at the last, when he wore that pair of glasses.

I instantly melted. Damn.

Let's hope it's not a permanent thing. I haven't seen episode 12 yet.

But I got a feeling I'm going to love him anyways ♥

And it's not just about Usui either. I like this anime a lot because FOR ONCE IN A GODDAMNNEDLIFETIME, there is no friggin whatever HAREM in it. And that's good. That's really good. Because once in a while, normal people like us deserve a normal, monogamous couple relationship that undergoes NORMAL jealousy, embarrassing times, shyness and so on.

In one good, I DARE say, this anime IS AS GOOD AS OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB.

Yeap. You read that right.

Dewa, minna-san, I've done my fangirling. Thank you for listening. You can all say "PATHETIC" to my face now and I will happily accept it. I am just too happy to say anything back now anyway =D

Yvonne..

Okay

I have officially changed my blog address.

I welcome you to Kaori's Kissaten.

Don't ask me "Who's Kaori?" - it's my Japanese name that got stuck in my head for a long time ever since I used a translator somewhere long time ago and I've been using it here and there on the net for a while now.

And kissaten is Japanese for a café. 

So, that being done, I will proceed to change my layout. I think that's going to take some time...

See ya my dear readers!! :D

Yvonne.. (Wait should I change this sign off name too? Um, no, heck it's my real name and besides it's already a tradition and besides I've done this for each and every post of my previous 600+ posts and now I'm NOT gonna change my signature too okay ------)

LOLWTF

This mail was sent to my mailbox:

Hello Dear,

My name is Jennifer I saw your profile when i was browssing, i decide to contact you for long term relationship hopeing that you will accept my request,if you accept my request ,please reply to my email address (*censoredincasesomeidiotsreply*@yahoo.com ) so that i will send you my photos and more about me,i believe we can make good friends,let distance not be a barrier but lets love connect,because love is a bridge connect far distance to be close

Jennifer

I laughed like never before at the bloody email. My first reaction was "WTF?" and in my opinion, whoever who created this mail hoping to fish some gold bachelors are a complete moron.

First of all, you DON'T decide to have a long-term r'ship with someone by looking their profile, unless you're a psycho goldfish. And oh by the way, while you're reading my profile, did you even bother to check the gender which says FEMALE? And secondly, "let distance not be a barrier but lets love connect"????????? AHAHAAHAAAAAAAA.

Mails like this can be so entertaining sometimes.

Yvonne..

FIREFOX PWNED!

I never thought that I'd say this, but man GOOGLE CHROME rocks like never before.

Let me tell you the feeling - It's like dumping your crappy jerk musician boyfriend (Mozilla Firefox) and marrying to a multi-millionaire who's handsome, your age, and has a sense of humour (Google Chrome).

Now, let me continue enjoying my "husband".

XD

5 Centimeters Per Second

Also known as Byousoku 5 Centimeter in Japan. It's an anime movie which went on the screens a few years ago. If you wanna know the story, please click here.

After watching, my initial response was: WHY IN THE WORLD BEAUTIFUL STORIES ALWAYS HAVE BLOODY SAD ENDINGS?

Or should I say, why in the world beautiful relationships always do not end with "and the two of them live happily together ever after"?

And how the heck can Takaki LIVE loving Akari ALL THESE YEARS without flying to Akari's side and tells her how much he loves her and asks her to marry him and have kids with him and never leave his side ever again??? I mean, come on, it's not like Takaki lives a very wonderful life, being alone, working as a computer programmer, passing day by day like some soulless corpse. He would do SO MUCH BETTER by doing what I said there.

TAKAKI YOU SUPER BAKA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell you what, if I'm Akari I'd totally stop my wedding and leaves everything had I known what Takaki is going through.

ARGH!! Watching this kind of beautiful-yet-bloody-sad movie is very suffering for me!!!

ALTHOUGH, I have to say, the anime is SO BEAUTIFUL. As in the artwork, I mean. EVERY SINGLE FRAME is a pure masterpiece in itself and I tell you, this guy (as in the creator) is darn good in nature scenes, putting it in an anime perspective, it's just the ultimate eye candy for every anime addicts.

Though you must have enough maturity to understand the storyline cuz it's not that clear, at least to me in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th episodes. The first was pretty clear though.

I knew about this anime from this Japanese film festival that I want to go so badly but in the end didn't cuz it's too damn far and I'm busy on the days the nice shows are showing.

But as always, I have ways to get what I want, when I want it ;)

僕はまたあんなふうに誰か愛せるのかな

Just changed blog song.

I think I've been listening to this song for over 100 times within these 2 months.

月とナイフ (Tsuki no Naifu)

by スガ シカオ (Suga Shikao)

僕の言葉が足りないのなら

If my words are not enough for you

胸をナイフで裂いて　えぐり出してもいい

Cut my heart with a knife and rip it out

君の迷いと　言い訳ぐらい

Your excuses and hesitations -

ほんとは僕だって　気づいてたのさ

Really, even I noticed it

いつかまた　あんなふうに誰かを憎むのかな

Will I hate someone like that again?

だとしたら　もっともっと

If so, embrace me more and more

抱きしめて　トゲのように心に刺さればいい

Like a thorn piercing your heart,

あなたに　ずっとずっと　残ればいい

Let it remain in you, forever and forever...

今更何も　言わないけれど

From now on, it would be better not to say anything

君の言葉は全部　ウソでいいんだろう

For all your words are lies

こんな事ばかり繰り返してたら

If I repeat it over and over

僕の涙はいつか　月に届くだろう

Maybe someday, my tears will reach the moon

僕はまた　あんなふうに誰か愛せるのかな

Will I be able to love someone like that again?

その時は　きっときっと

When the time comes, surely, without a doubt,

かぐわしい　風のように時が流れればいい

I can move on like the fragrant wind flowing over time

いつまでもずっとずっと　続けばいい

Forever, always, continuing......

***

It's a simple song, with his raw voice and quite acoustic guitar background, but it seeps into my heart simple as it is.

So Weird

Before you continue to read, let me INSIST that I don't mean to brag or anything like that.

Ok, here goes:

You all know I'm a total otaku right? With the net addict and stuff and all. So, one of my net activities include mingling around net forums. Big deal, I bet most of us signed up for one before. Now, the thing is, I often get comments like this (especially from strangers who're just starting to know me):

• Are you french?
• By any chance could you be from Canada? (Apparently I used some of Canadian slangs without even knowing it myself)

I'm kinda happy. Sort of. Teehee. But anyway they're probably just taking a wild guess and not like after some serious analysing.

But still.

:D
