LOLWTF

This mail was sent to my mailbox:

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.

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

Quick Update

Some of you might wanna know how was my FIRST Japanese class *eyes-shining-brightly*

First of all, I was late. Sort of. Luckily that time sensei (teacher) was taking down the attendance.

She introduced herself as Tanaka-sensei and started the class by teaching us numerals. No problem there.

There's about 18 students in my class, which means that all the seats were taken (yes the class's kinda small but actually the largest class compared to other classes there, if you get what I mean). Most of them are already working, including one or two housewives, 5 or 6 studying youngsters like me, and one uncle who looks very rock (long-haired, pierced ears and all).

It's a strange mixture but somehow I know we can get along just fine since everyone's quite enthusiastic to learn Japanese.

Tanaka-sensei was a very kind and patient lady, she never show any I'm-in-a-bad-mood faces and in that 2-hour class she managed to get us laughing quite a number of times. She's quite cute actually, not the hot-girl-cute kind but the personality-cute kind. I think she's married. She looks like she's in her 30s.

Although I already knew 95% of the stuff taught in class, but learning it again from a real Japanese teacher is really nice. Sort of gave me the confidence you know.

ANYWAY, I should be studying for my final exam which is JUST A WEEK AWAY.

So, when you hear from me again, I will be released from the grasps of exam-stress and free to talk and do whatever I want. Heehee. Sayonara!!

Yvonne..

Announcing......

Well, it's nothing big.......

It's just that......

I SIGNED UP

FOR

JAPANESE

CLASSES!!!

:D:D:D

Yes that big-ass font size is an indication of how HAPPY I am :):)

Mwahahahahahahaaa~~

After so many years since I've started watching anime, being utterly interested in the Japanese culture, after so many years of listening to Japanese music, my DREAM (relatively small as it is), for so long, is granted. Dear God, I love you.

Cho ureshiiiii yo~~~

*^_^*

Yvonne..

Venting, for the last time.

You know what kind of people I really look down upon?

People who fools around, thinking that they know what they're doing, creating oh-so-exciting dramas in their life, tagging along people who, really, have MUCH BETTER things to do than to act a part in their bloody dramas, AND THEN, chuck the people who got along in their dramas like some rubbish, after which they whistle and walk off as if they never did anything wrong to the victims.

Does this reminds you of someone you know of?

Seriously, what the heck is wrong with these people? Now that I know your modus operandi, you can be damn sure that I will be out of your life in no time. Thank you, but I'm fed up with your SELFISHNESS.

Yvonne..

After Nearly 5 Months...

I came back to my personal space to blog.

Although I've done this before but now all of a sudden it feels weird. Like, familiar but weird.

And I kinda like the fact that I don't think anyone follows this blog anymore MWAHAHAA. Which is good because I don't think you guys are going to like it when I reveal what I've been doing for the past 5 months ignoring my blog totally and completely.

Actually there's no reason. Yes, you've read me right. There's not a valid reason for not writing in my blog. It's not because someone I do not like to be reading my blog is reading my blog, it's not because I've had such a traumatic impact that I don't wanna blog anymore, it's not because I've got myself involved in something very attention-consuming that I stopped blogging anymore. No, it's not all that.

It's just that, one fine day, I just decided that I don't feel like blogging for a long time. You can called that "lazy" I guess (hehehehehe) but I bet 75% of the people whom I know will not believe that I am a very lazy person. They all think that I'm hardworking and I seriously don't know why.

Or, you can blame it on my facebook game. To be exact, TWO facebook games. And ACCA. And my college's constant ongoing stream of tests (3 tests in 4 months!!). And now, after the third test, I have a week of short break (supposed to be study leave) and then a month later I will HAVE MY FINALS. YET AGAIN. It's depressing, already.

Anyway, I want to announce something (as if anyone still read the blog anymore) --- I am going to change my blog's website.

So do take note. Why? Because my current blog website name is boring. Lol. Yes, I know "how can my name be boring?" But yes I think it's too boring, for a blog, I want a nice fancy name for my blog now, and I will cook up that website in a few days. And let you all know. But later.

You know, these few months, it's not that I don't have anything that I want to blog, but I have TOO MANY to blog. Especially about Christmas last year, and New Year and Chinese New Year, and the books that I've read, the movies I've watched, the lessons I've learned, the feelings, the TV shows that I've covered, and a lot more. There's just too many things!! If I blogged it all off I won't be living a life. Kidding. Therefore, I don't want to blog ALL the things that I want to blog, just blog when I feel like it and up for a lot of typing, that way I think it is more productive, in a way.

If I can find the time, I will try to complete all the drafts waiting on my blogroll now.

Yvonne..

Merry Christmas!

If there's still any of you left anyway, after I've abandoned my blog for a considerably long period of time XD I'm just gonna drop a short little wish and off to bed soon.

So now, I want to convey my wish for everyone's happiness and well-being for this special and meaningful day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU!!!

Not just today, but for everyday onwards!! After all, happiness (even the slightest bit) is all we need to get on with all the challenges life presents to us. Isn't that right??

You know before my holiday starts I kept wishing that I wanna go out everyday everyday everyday. And I really went out most of the days. It's uber tiring (although fun and eye-opening) and now I just wanna have one week to myself. But before I know it the next semester of college is here already.

Why in the world time always passes so darn fast? For the good bits I mean?

Sometimes I get the feeling that life's going so fast. There's no time to observe and appreciate what's good and right in front of us. We're always trying to pursue something but the blessings are already here, with us. People say, teenage is a phase where you learn a lot of things. But for me, teenage is, yes, a phase where I learn a lot of things. However, only these 2 or 3 years are the years that I've really learn. About life. About how we treat people and how the world works. About how to accept defeat and learn to climb back up again. About how short life really is and how seemingly important things right now will all be a tiny little past in the future.

From end of 2007 till now, I dare say that I've learned a lot, mentally and philosophically. I've found some answers to some of my own questions, those kind of questions where no one can really answer you but only you yourself will know the answer to it through personal experiences. I've learned to let go and put down certain things in my heart that I'll never forgive myself for. After all, it's the past, why dwell on it? Why not look forward to the future with an open heart and the readiness to accept whatever life will give to us, no matter good or bad, with a smile?

Here I'll quote something from a friend:

"Don't take life so seriously... no one comes out of it alive anyway."

Why, so true indeed. Although yes it's coated heavily with sarcasm but yes it's the truth nonetheless. I agree with it all-heartedly :D Although that's not to tell you all to commit suicide. Please don't get me wrong that way lol. But I can always see people (myself included) making such a big deal out of a simple little things sometimes. Yet when we're in the heat of the moment it's the only thing we focus on and worry soooo much about it. Funny ain't it? Oh well oh well. I should probably stop babbling about that now.

I've just finished watching Code Geass and migod it's WOW. Seriously. WOW. ESPECIALLY Season 2. It's wow-inducing. No take that back. It's a WOW itself. Okay I don't know what I'm talking about now but the point is that it's fantabuloso. In fact now I've listed it into my Top 5 faves. It's worthy of Top 5 but No. 1 is still Honey and Clover for me :D Anyway I'll not say more about it as I plan to do a full post only about Code Geass later (I keep saying that a lot lately huh? I'll post that, I'll post this...when oh when will I post xD).

And now I'm watching Natsume Yuujincho. It's been on my To Watch list for about one (or was it two?) years already and finally now I get to watch it. All because of Rurouni Kenshin *ahem* nothing. It's a very relaxing anime and I NEED more animes like this to calm my soul (LOL as if I've been in the war or something for the past 20 years XD).

OH DAMN I JUST ANN-ED* UP NATSUME'S SEIYUU TO FIND OUT IF MY SUSPICION IS CORRECT AND I'M RIGHT!!!!! NO WONDER I KNEW THERE'S SOMETHING FAMILIAR ABOUT THAT VOICE!! HE'S ALSO THE SEIYUU FOR TAKEMOTO IN HONEY AND CLOVER!!! I CAN ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE THAT VOICE WHILE WATCHING THE ANIME!! OMG I LOVE THAT VOICE.

*ANN-ED - Anime News Network-ed (also see: Googled)

Ahem. Sorry for the sudden outburst. Where was I just now? Oh. Yeah. Natsume and seiyuu. MAN I CAN'T BELIEVE I ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE THAT VOICE. Okay, Hiroshi Kamiya is so on my favourite seiyuu list now.

Okay, done with my otaku talk. I'm pretty sure every reader skip that part anyway :D

ANYWAY, so much for my "short little wish". I ended up talking about nearly everything =.= So, have a BLASTING MERI KURISMASU!!! Oyasuminasai!

ありがとう 心から...

Been listening to this song non-stop recently. Yes I know it's mellow and not something I usually would listen to but hey it's nice and I like how ORANGE RANGE sing it - with a very kind, grateful, and soft voice. I heard of the indie band ORANGE RANGE since few years back, due to their extensive works covering dramas (Hanazakarino Kimitachi e - Ikenai Taiyou), movies (the record-breaking song "Hana"), and animes (Code Geass). Majoring in alternative rock, in my honest opinion, they produce surprising good songs occassionally. And the unique part of it is that sometimes they're not in the rock genre. And this song is one of those.

シアワセネイロ (Shiawase Neiro)
by ORANGE RANGE

胸の中いつか拾った　幸せのかけら　集めてみよう
I'll try gathering up the pieces of happiness
that I picked up some other time in my chest
忘れかけていた　メロディー　色あせず僕の真ん中に
A melody that I started to forget about is
right in the middle of me, unfading


借りたままの漫画捜索中　たまたま見つけた色あせた文集
While I was searching through borrowed comic books,
from time to time I found faded anthologies
「天下を掴む」なんて我ながらアホらしくて笑いが出た
It was me who laughed out loud like an idiot
at stuff like "seize the world"
天下じゃなくて電車の吊革を掴む日々
During the days when I seized not the world
but the hanging strap on the train
あの頃のボクに「ごめんなさいね」と微笑みながら頭を下げた
While smiling and saying, "I'm sorry,"
to me back then, you lowered your head


ありがとう　心から
Thank you, from my heart
僕に今があるのは皆のおかげさ
I owe it to everyone for now to exist in me
ありがとう　心から
Thank you, from my heart
次は僕が皆にHAPPY贈るよoh oh oh
Next it'll be me who delivers happiness to everyone oh oh oh


何もかも忘れないよ　あの日のボクモボクだから
I won't forget just about everything since me back then was also me
大好きだよっていつも言ってあげなきゃダメだね
It was useless that I didn't always say 'I love you'
辛ければ逃げてもいいよ　またここに帰ってくるのなら
When it's tough, it's okay even if you run away,
if you return here again
いろいろ寄り道もして行こうオリジナルな日々を
Let's go make various stops on the way in the original days


止まらない町の真ん中で　いつかからか君はうつむき加減
Right in the middle of an unstopping city,
since when have you been looking down?
抱える「気持ち」が多すぎて　一人きりでパンクしちゃってる
You hold too many "feelings" and blow out like a tire all alone
だから僕の言葉を聞いて　幸せをくれた君のため
So listen to my words, for you who gave me happiness
力を送るよday by day
I'll give you strength day by day


胸の中あふれそうな　幸せのかけら　つなげてみよう
I'll try connecting the pieces of happiness
that seem to overflow in my chest
力強くなる　メロディー　繰り返されてくメッセージ
A message makes the strengthening melody repeat
涙がこぼれそうな　長い夜は　ふっとふり返って
On a long night when my tears seem to spill, I suddenly turn back
足跡をたどるんだ　あの日を忘れないように
And follow my footprints, so that I won't forget about that day

ORANGE RANGE, with this song, I change my perspective and thoughts about you guys. Good work :)

Yvonne..

Okay

Long time no post, don't worry, I'm not dead (yet). As usual finals slaughtered me and dragged me across a bed of sharp long nails. Well, that's clearly no surprise.

But anyway, I'M DONE WITH FINALS NOW!!! (And another 6 months I'll be dragged across that bed of nails again anyway =.=)

I have so many things to do, I feel like listing them down:

• Go to Comic Fiesta 2009.
  
• Watch at least 5 animes before the next semester (I'm watching Code Geass now :D).
  
• UPDATE THIS BLOG (I have like, 30 posts to update and I'm lazy but I have so many things to write!! A lot of anime reviews, food reviews, shits and stuff :D).
  
• Scour through all the malls for Christmas decorations. God I love Christmas decorations.
• Restaurant City unlock 3 dishes for each course, reach 800000 GP before semester starts (I really hate the game now yet I'm still playing it wtf).
  
• Update photos on FB.
  
• Find new recipes to bake :D
• Go out, go out, go out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, there're more on my list, but those are personal stuffs :D

So this is a post to tell you guys that I'm still alive, and be prepared to see major spamming of blog posts within this month (I hope I won't drag this till next year :D).

By the way, please note that my latest obsession is:

♥KURURUGI SUZAKU♥
(Omg, I wanna marry him.)

from Code Geass (Jeez I really hope one day I can stop loving fictional or anime characters, did you guys know that in Japan a guy married a game character in a virtual dating game?? Like wtfffffff, I wish I could do that to Shinichi *cough ahem* Kidding. :) )

And yes Does that mean I'm *FINALLY* done with Rurouni Kenshin? Why yes that's RIGHT, after 95 excruciating-but-in-the-end-it's-nice episodes, I'M FREED FROM RK. Actually, I finished watching that like before the finals :X Himura Kenshin is so hot ♥ XD.

Alright I really gotta gather my thoughts now and erm post some more later, now I'm busy. LOL.

Yvonne..
