What the fook did I just type? .0. It's already the 18th of July?!~ Eh? Can't believe it. This month is passing by so quickly. ;.; 4 more days to my birthday~~scary. >~< I hate getting older.

Saw Aishiteruze Baby last night. As always, it was so cute! More Shouta in the next episode which is even better. xD

Will write in lj later, if I have time.

Monday ~ July 5, 2004

I've been meaning to change my lj layout and make it all nice and spiffy but this comp only has PSP which I've pretty much forgotten how to use. So, it's either I sit here and retrain myself on PSP all day or just wait til September before I make any major changes. The latter option seems the most appealing, seeing as how my attention span right now is about the size of a pea and my patience is much lower than that. ^^;;;

Perhaps you are noticing how much I miss my comp at home. Ahhhh...you never know what you have until it's gone. Except in this case, I did know that I would be tabletless and CG Programless. There's no place like home. lalalala

Oh, I wanted to talk about the meal I had last week. The first time my sister took me to a katsudon place, the place was really cheap and tiny and the katsudon sucked. Therefore, I concluded that I hate ~~cheap, fatty~~ katsudon. But my sister kept insisting how great it was so I decided I'd try it again but there was no rush. I like to spend my money on things I know for sure that I'll enjoy eating afterall. ^^

Anyhow, last week I took my sister to this restaurant at the Ito Yokado where they served us yummy, delicious katsudon. It was also good to eat rice for a change. Despite being in Japan, I rarely eat rice as much as I do at home. 'Tis a puzzlement I'm sure. Besides katsudon, the meal came with miso soup and udon. I normally dont like udon that much but this udon was really delicious. Apparently, it's the local version of udon. Yay. 秋田 udon is good.

I have no concept of time. Still need to by myself a watch and had to look at the calendar just to remember what day it was. Wow, my birthday's in a month. That seems so close. How quickly a year passes by! *~*

The typhoon or tropical storm passed here yesterday and I think this morning. We were shopping in Ito Yokado but decided to take a taxi back home since the rain and wind were so strong. Plus, would've been extremely soaked otherwise.

Just finished eating a crepe with vanilla ice cream and strawberries topped with hot fudge. It was very tasty. Wish they had crepe shops back at home.

On a Mission
That's right, I'm on a mission. One of these days I must find my way to a dept store and buy me some new shoes. The ones I have now are not going to cut it for walking in Japan. >.<

Also, today is Kimeru's birthday. Happy Birthday Kimeru!!!! <3

Sunday ~May 30, 2004

Sorry for taking so long to update this blog. I've just been a bit occupied lately. Plus, been feeling really sleepy and drowsy the past week which tended to make me pretty lazy. Too lazy to update anything.

I just ordered some pizza from Domino's. Why is pizza so expensive these days? ;_____;

Monday ~ May 17, 2004

It's morning and I'm for the most part wide awake. So, I thought I'd just write a little bit in here. Sorry, I have absolutely nothing substantial to say.

Am currently catching up on my manga reading. And boy do I ever have a lot to catch up to. Hopefully, I'll get to do an oekaki this week. Looking forward to playing in oekaki soon. ^---^

Tuesday ~ May 11, 2004

Oww, my whole left arm (from my shoulder to my hand) for some reason feels so stiff. This usually doesnt happen to me unless Im feeling stressed. And that usually happens when I have stuff like an exam or paper due, etc. >.< Weird! I asked my mom to massage it for me but, that didnt do much. Even, now it's kind of hard to type with my left hand.

OH yeah, heard the news about FMA being licensed. It could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. I tend to think bad thing since they're saying Funimation is doing it. :( Oh well, at least we won't have to wait too incredibly long for it to come out. I think they said it was coming out on CN in October.

Forgot what time FuriKuri comes on. But I mainly missed it Saturday due to RO. hehe Couldnt take myself away from keyboard. ^^; So, that's like two episodes I missed. Oh well maybe I can catch it on repeat.

Tuesday ~ May 4, 2004

Freeeeeeeee~~~~, woohoo! I AM Freeeeeee!!!! P^0^/

Free from the constraints of that crappy, restrictive computer. I can type properly now. No more worries about the comp freezing. X3 Yes! It's great to be back at home. Sometimes, I really can't believe that I used the comp for 3 years. Although, I claim it was much better back then. I fear my lil' cuz has tainted it dling his little kiddy games. ;~; *tear*

The plane ride was so shaky. Some lady said she was freaking out. She's the type that gets airsick and seasick. So, she was saying if the plane had shaked anymore during landing she would've thrown up. ahe. Glad I wasn't sitting next to her.=D=
Unfortunately, didn't get to sit next to the window on the way back either. Window seat is my favorite seat. ^~^ Oh well, maybe next time.

Oh yeah and

Happy B-day RC!

Congrats on ur 11th year! ^D^ May all ur bday wishes come true!!

Aigoo, my stomach hurts so bad. I don't know why. I'm definitely not hungry. @~@

Tuesday ~ April 27, 2004

Today oddly feels more like Monday to me than Tuesday. @.@
Ah well!~~

I'm leaving tomorrow...sometime in the afternoon. I finished cleaning my room and I'm oh so very proud of myself. It looks really tidy now. I just need to do some dusting but I'll probly do that when I get back. At least, I can walk around now without walking onto clothes or running into books. ^.^ heehee

I need to pack though! f>0< Doh! I'm such a procrastinator. Why do I always leave those things to the last minute? I have no idea.

I will miss my computer and (especially miss drawing since I wont have a tabby or graphix programs available) but hopefully I'll have internet access. We'll see. I'm gonna bring Bonds by Kawai Toko with me so that I can translate it and have something to keep me busy just in case there's nothing else to do.

Until then, this is probly my last msg in the blog before I leave ... unless I have time to write tomorrow but that's not likely. I'll write in lj later.
Hasta Luego~~

Monday ~ April 26, 2004

Well since I can't seem to get into the chatrm, think I'll go check out the new manga that arrived in the mail today. I gots Renai a Ra Karuto! by Minami Haruka and Bonds by Kawai Toko. So, I'm very happy (even though Sasuga took a few months to get it to me >[). It's all peaches and cream. Peaches and cream. ^____^

Oh and if you missed my rant on Orange Days, Narimiya Hiroki's chara, and Tsumabuki Satoshi, it's all in my LJ.

Iron Chef America
Last night, I was multitasking with my remote control. ^__^ ehehehe I really want to get one of those tvs where I can see three channels at once. Yeah, forget abt Tivo. lol Anyways, I was watching Iron Chef America on the food network. I used to watch Iron Chef all the time in college. Actually, I used to watch the Food Network almost everyday. However, lately that's just not been happening. So, I've only been watching occasionally.

So, Iron Chef America is the new show where the Iron Chefs I guess will be Mario Batali, Bobby Flay and Wolfgang Puck. The only one I really like out of the 3 (personally) is Mario Batali. I like his cooking show. Yesterday's match was Batali vs. Morimoto and the main ingredient was Spiny Lobster. All the dishes looked good and so yummy. I wish I could've been one of the judges so I'd be able to taste them. Except, I wasn't feeling the ones with the cappucino and truffles. It seems as I've gotten older I tend to dislike sweet things. hehe, kind of like Sano from HanaKimi. [Of course, not that I won't eat anything sweet but I dont really like stuff like merengue, peeps, frosting on cake...I usually take it off because I hate too much sugary, sweet taste.]

Hopefully, I'll get to watch the tag team final tonight. I wonder who will win. Oh yeah, and the new chairman for Iron Chef America seemed pretty cool, too.

Saturday ~ April 24, 2004

*clears throat*
I think I'm catching a slight cold. Dunno how I caught it, since it's been pretty warm here these past few days. Actually, yesterday I had the window open when this huge rainstorm came. The wind was pretty strong and blew the blinds all over the place so I had to close the window. It was one of the rainstorms that just suddenly happen, dump a ton of rain, and then leave within just a few minutes. But it was pretty cool, because it was kind of hot in the house and then with the wind blowing in that gave the room a nice cool draft.

My mom's watching the Mula Sa Puso movie downstairs. Lately, they've been showing a few of Rico Yan's movies on the TFC cinema channel. But it seems that I always catch them when the movie's almost over. >~< I wanna see the new movies though. I should check out the movie schedule one of these days. So, I know when to watch for what.

Now, I have the Mula Sa Puso movie in my head.

UnBelievable Wednesday~ April 21, 2004

What the!? w...w...wh...what just happened here?!
America, what in the heck are you doing here!!? I am just left completely dumbfounded by tonight's AI results. It's bad enough that John Stevens aka the "red head" got away again but it's just a little bit too unbelievable that the bottom 3 were the 3 divas!!! Words can't even express my frustration right now. p(>.<);;

And, maybe it's partly my fault. Last night I had the intention of voting for Jennifer but when I called w/in the first hour the lines were busy and I could never get through to her number. Plus, IMO, she had the best performance of the night. Everyone knows that those 3 are the best singers in the competition. And since the beginning, Jennifer had improved a whole lot. Before she used to get all nervous but lately she had been coming into her own and really began showing her stregnth. She was definitely a contender for the title. So, I wasn't too worried. I figured since the lines were busy she's probly getting alot of calls already and that JS would be hitting the road today! Boy was I wrong! This is unfrackingblvble. It's moments like these when I'd think the show's fixed. ><;; In fact, this is exactly what happend to Tamyra during the first American Idol. If there is any rule that must be made in this competition, it should be that TONE DEAF voters should not be aloud to vote! Such a travesty!
Oh and I also gotta add that I blame the judges for this...since they (I think minus Randy) were the ones who let JS get into the top 12.

Oh well, I guess I shouldn't huff and puff about it so much since in the end she'll more than likely still end up with a recording contract. I've no doubt this will be all the talk in the entertainment news circuits tomorrow. If only, they had ppl vote for who should be kicked off the show rather than voting for your favorite. Just think how many votes would be saved for ppl who actually have real talent. And, if votes went through that way, I have no doubt JS would be out of there at the snap of a finger. No joke but I'd rather listen to William Hung than the red head any day.

Ohohoho...the AI messages are turning hot with fury. Apparently, the website won't even let you post the word RIGGED. Others are saying they're not gonna watch anymore. Hmm...Id love to do that myself but I'd cherish the day I see the red-headed one voted out way too much. >D
Ah, and this other person wants to start an email writing campaign to bring Jen back. I'd love if that would bring Jen Hudson back into the competition but I question if it'd work seeing as how the results are sposed to be final.

//le sigh// To think, this was sposed to be a post about how uber-cool Barry Manilow was as a guest host last night. How he's unsurprisingly hip! And, that he's like an older version of Clay Aiken //le sigh//

//edit/Just about finished with this new layout. I really love the artwork by Yamada D Yonezou. It's really cute and pretty. And, the cute brushes are from angelic-trust.net. And the theme of course, is play. :) I hope the colors look alright. Might change the font colors for the sidebar later depends if they bug me or not. You can probly notice that most of them are just recycled from the last layout just because I'm to tired to test out new colors right now. ^^;;
I don't have much to say right now because I'm really exhausted already. It's been a long day and I need to go put my blanket in the dryer so I'll have something to sleep with tonight. So until tomorrow, adeu! //edit/

Hey, this is just me testing how things look if I put a lot of content in this area. I dont really have much to say right now except I'm listening to some station in Taiwan right now via web radio on wmp. It's really cool because they play songs in English, Chinese, and Japanese. And they just played the chinese version of the KouKou Kyoushi theme. Yeah that's the drama that Fujiki was in. He was so depressing there. I didnt realize how depressing until after watching his latest. >< Anyways, that song is really cool. The one from the HST drama that is.
