New Project

I want a major revamp on my room. Period. 

I've been following a "Pictures of your room" (which is sometimes mistakenly read as "Pictures of your mom" and set people off laughing) thread and man, some of these kids really have got their room (or should I say life) together so so so nicely. Not to say extravagant, but yeah nicely. Even small rooms, some managed to make things SO organized and still have rooms for display, it almost makes me cry and sob and feel very ashamed. You know, I'm THIS close to driving myself over to Ikea and start buying a whole room of new furnitures. 

I'm not saying that I hate everything in my room... but it's so... mismatched. Every piece of furniture in my room comes from a different place and a different time, to some people maybe it's very chic or something but nooooo it's super not. And I know I probably sound like a major spoiled brat for saying all those things up there, but I think I deserve some furniture changes after oh I don't know, living with them for nearly 20 years? 

Hey, I think I just found a perfect killer-line to convince my parents to see things my way :) I shall start flipping my Ikea catalogues.

Beautiful Opening

I dare say, this is one of the best anime openings I've seen throughout my entire anime history. 

The timing and the animation is so matching that I want to announce it husband and wife. 

Yes, one of the best. No doubt.

P.S. If you can wait, wait for the HD to load before you watch =D

100th

According to MyAnimeList, a useful online list tool specially for otakus like me to list down which animes I've watched and at the same time provide useful information on animes and run statistics on our animes, I've completed

100 animes
(click me if you wanna know which ones)

Medetashi medetashi!!

And okay, I know that's not such a big number, after all my target is 300, but reaching one third of it makes me just as happy. I did stop watching for some time due to the utter long-ness of Rurouni Kenshin. 

Anime otaku forever. Peace.

New Sem, New Subs, New Gangs

It's almost the same to me every sem.

Except that this sem, I think I'm kinda getting the gist of it. Hey, at least I don't hide at some deserted open-air stairwell whenever I get a break and sleep or eat or get some sunshine there. 

And okay, at least I have nice friends to chat with and get to know of this sem for nearly every subject but still, I miss my best best best best best best friends in the world. 

Now I know why I cried during my high school graduation (and btw I'm NOT a cheerleader). 

Anyway, this is just a post to let my dear friends know I'm not dead yet :)

But I AM busier than last sem, taking 3 papers with one being of one of the ultimate P papers so yeah, I'm super busy, and also super sleepy at most times whenever I'm at home, not studying or watching anime. Therefore I often find the bed more appealing than the power button on my computer and so, this is why I'm not online most of the time. And on Saturday I have Japanese class and on Sunday I have either a life or family-forced-functions or an exam to study for. 

Omg, I'm gonna miss the net. No wait, let me do it again. Omg, the net's gonna miss me. Bwahahahh.

P.S. SMS works faster with me than MSN these days...just so you guys know ;)

In The Rain

So this is what it's like to walk with someone under an umbrella in the rain, making lame but somehow funny jokes while me complaining my wet velvet shoes which I love so much. The shoes I mean.

Koi ga setsunai..

Charice

What I see, is a kid trying to act like an adult.

Sure, she sings good. And able to mimic big singers' voices.

But singing the songs as perfect as how it is performed by the predecessors is relatively easy rather than CREATING the perfect conveyance yourself.

Part of the reason why big songs are so touching is because the emotions are real.

In a few years, we shall see her "transformation" into a skinny, fully make-upped 24/7, perfect model, and as I like to put it, a regular entertainment's-next-new-money-tree.

Sigh. Young generations these days grow up so fast. The kids don't play paper dolls anymore, instead they watch Glee and admire people from High School Musicals.

Omg I sound so old already. Wth I am old already.

Uneasy

I hate it when things are not in my control.

That's when I start to lose it. Or give up. Or walk away.

Which is why I usually follow up on everything I do, to the extent that it's annoying EVEN to myself, just so I won't end up in a shitty situation, at the bottom of the pit or something.

Even if I know that the car is going to crash into a wall, as long as my hands are on the steering wheel, and my pedals are working, I know that it's going to be fine.

But I know not all things are perfect.

That's when I feel uneasy. And nothing I do can ever calm my uneasiness. It has to be an outside influence to calm this feeling.

And I am not, a people's person.

Wrong

Something is VERY wrong with blogger.

Can you guys my fellow bloggers tell me which are you using: Updated Editor or Old Editor?

(You can choose this option in the "Basic" tab under your Settings for the blog)

I'm still using the Old Editor, as I prefer it better, but I find that the image placeholding function is kinda f-ed up.

Before the UPDATED editor comes in, I can move the image wherever I want to in the post and when it's published, you can still click on it to get a larger image.

Now, I can't. If I want that function, I need to get all the pictures on top of the posts. Or deal with the troublesome html.

Gah I don't know if you guys even get what I'm talking about.

I'm probably going mad.

And I'm tired. And today's the LAST DAY of my holiday before hell starts. Sigh.

Anime, at times like this, you keep me going.

Choked

That's what I nearly did, on the green tea that I'm sipping, when I saw someone named usui102 is following me.

On my twitter.

Did he not realize, that he has the same name as that hot guy featuring in Kaichou wa Maid-sama!???

I think he followed me after I updated twitter with "♥♥♥ USUI ♥♥♥". Um, tough luck pal, but you may notice that people have been saying Usui a lot lately due to a certain popular anime?

Anyway, his twitter is FILLED with Japanese, which I'm only in a beginner class learning it, so I don't really have any idea who he is at all. I tried reading some updates, but I can't get the whole picture.

Lol. Sorry Usui, the one I'm in love with is, I'm sad to say, a fictional character.

Yvonne..

P.S. And he actually REPLIED my green tea tweet! And then he updated his twitter with something about working hard writing in English!! LOL!!

P.P.S. Why is it that I'm so PATHETIC when it comes to conversation in Japanese?? orz

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!!
