Hey ya'll. ^^" Happy New Year! XD I was so surprised when one of my friends actually called me just to say Happy New Year. XD But, it's all good. Who that person is...isn't important. ^^" But, it made me somewhat happy.

These few days have been crazy, with Saturday being this whole feast with friends at lunch, and then Silu's house for dinner. ^^" Swithing from Cantonese to Mandarin drove my mom nutso. XD But, they enjoyed it. ^^"

I've been thinking a lot this year, about what my new year's resolutions would be. I really couldn't think of anything at all while I was sitting in the foyer at church today.
Then I thought. God...help me find out who I want to be, and let me be that person. I wanna know what I'm supposed to do. What if what I think I want to do, isn't what I really do?...if that makes any sense...XD

And then there's the whole me fantasizing about meeting a famous person...but, let's not talk about that. haha. I just watched "The Biggest Fan"...and right now, I just got hooked back on Dream Street music...yeah, don't ask. BTW, Chris Trousdale...these days, his music annoys me. >.<" That's all I think.

MERRY CHRISTMAS! I've been...pretty much away all weekend...let's also include the cold I'm getting. Just got some Cold FX. XD

So, as you all know, my yearly ritual/tradition. The Christmas Card! XD

Well. Since I had a bit of time this morning, I finished off recreating the "Writing" part of my site. ^^" I'm very glad. Plus, no banners, since it's hosted on this host. YAY! XD Writing

So yeah, check it out! I'll get working on my actual workings of my site..since it's still a bit screwed up ne? ja ne

December 22, 2006

Right now, I can't believe how great the day has been, not only is it Friday...(which is one of Kat's favorite days)...but it's the last day before vacation officially starts...and really, it started today. XD

First was a spare for me. All I did (even though I should've studied for my chem test I had..) I was playing around with Ben, Maddie, and Ali. XD Looking at my photobucket, and everything inside. haha

Second period was even better - Japanese!!
Let's just say it all in one word. SUSHI!!! XD First it was like a cooking show, with Ito-sensei in an apron, teaching us how to make sushi...and then people making sushi..OMG, and Sandy wanting to make sushi was a scary picture...I wonder who ate them still...or who would for that matter...And..making it was so much fun! My mom never asks me to help at home...so, it was fun. haha...oh and yummy!!

Third was boring, chem test..BLAH

Lunch..was somewhat annoying...I mean...Emily was following me...>.>" I was looking for people so I could give them their cards....but I couldn't find them [two people - Emily (another Emily) and Doan] Watched improv for a while..so as to not listen to her laugh...or her talking to me. XD

After lunch...it was like..WAHHH..Roles was being...well...Roles. XD So, we did math, and since no one was really there..I sat next to Lily. ^^"

History was...odd. They were watching bollywood...and I go. >.<" ...pretty much, I'd say it's a family thing. My dad doesn't usually let me watch that sorta thing...and when I do see it ...AIYAHZ!!!

Wandered for a while...then the bell rang. Waited and waited for Martin and Tori to come back to the lockers, along with Linh-Linh. And pretty much...we waited to force Martin to open his presents. XD There were three (Mine, Chris's and Emily's)

XD First was Chris's awesome-ness of the mp3 player..woahz. Then, mine with the keroppopi girl person....and then Emily's. XD 

With me not having to go to piano tonight, we're going to TnT Supermarket...so I hope there's not that many people... XD Anywho..laterz!
And to all I haven't had a chance to say to yet..."MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!"...I should go make a card soon. XD

Christmas Celebration (December 17, 2006)

TOUCH OF CLASS! WOOT! XD ...I don't know what else to say, so yeah.

December 19, 2006

Today, I really have nothing to say...
Though I should tell you about what happened on Sunday, and of course Monday.
But as of yet, my speech is stuck in rhyme...
I hope it'll end before bed time...

Kat's newest poem  
So Far From True
 
There's just so many ups and downs these days.
I can't believe nothing at all is going my way.

To many things that I still have to do.
That is why I'm already so blue.

If only I could be somewhere far away.
Maybe even come back some day.

My best is not the best anymore.
Wishes and dreams galore,

Silently wishing I could be another,
Really, seriously, what a bother.

Sure enough, no one understands,
The way I feel, the way I am.

A no one, that nobody cares to know,
A person there, wallowing in sorrow.

Of course I'll be perhaps one of those.
What can I do except suppose.

Many marvel at what they have and what they will in turn do.
But what can I do to not feel so blue?

Walk away. Block them out.
Forget what it's all about.

Sadly enough, that's how it is.
Everyone looking down on who you are, and what you do,
Even Miss...eh? Who are you?

These days it has brought me to this fate.
I've been like this ever since late.

Never thought I'd get this far.
Next time I'll just drive away in the car.

A little angsty, that's for sure,
Being someone I once wished they were.

Believing anything I could do,
A dream now lost,
So far from true.

---------------------
I haven't written in a while,
And it's times like these, that I can't stop and smile.
So, don't read it if you think it's too long..
You'll probably think I'm...really wrong.
But, seriously, this is how I feel,
and...to me, all too real.

7 Reasons why I can't/won't date Han
1) Some one suggested it
2) I'd rather have someone I can speak Canto to...
3) My dad would be sitting at the door ...with a gun...in his hands. Like I said last time.
4) I don't...like him that way
5) He's somewhat perverted...
6) I don't know him well enough (though, that's hardly a reason)
Note: Kat is running out of ideas
7) Kat doesn't want a boyfriend

Lately...along with Kat's strangeness...has been listening to Jesse McCartney...a lot. XD I thought his voice was so freaking annoying when I listened to him the first few times...but the more and more I listen to him...I'm going...squeeeeee!!

December 12, 2006

As of right now...Kat kat is making a data disc thing-y for Death Note Live Actino. (FYI) This is for me, XD not...the festival.

Someone remind me to bring my camera next Thursday. Last year...I forgot. ^^" ...ano..I got two tests moved...one was supposed to be on Touch of Class...and got moved to Friday instead (which, I think is even worse)...and then my Physics test was made a quiz, and moved to Tuesday. ...Then, I find out we actually have a Calculus test on Friday.

NOTE: Kat may be gone for a really long time.
Reason: Unknown.

Mwuahhhhhahahahahaha...

...I'm kidding..I think. XD

December 8, 2006

I've been stressed all week. Leaving me almost near to none time to write here about my life. XD

First was the whole me stressing about the recital on Sunday...and, that's over with now...For all who wanted to know...I did really good on the song she told me I sucked at, and the one she told me I was really good at...XD I sucked. lol

There was a chem test on Tuesday...then there was the whole "Let's double-test Kat!" ...I had back-to-back tests today.

Sure you can say...It's just Calculus, it's just history. But, I seriously need these grades...to pull up my mark...or I'll be stuck..in Edmonton forever. >.<" And, I would probably kill myself.

Then...last night was Kat going crazy. I was so lucky to get home at around 2:45 yesterday..(with my usual 3 on Thursdays) And...I should be doing chem...where Mr.Riss decided to "blast" us with chem homework...that's all due on Monday. Hopefully, I'll get everything I need to do done and over with.

I've been talking to lots and lots of people lately...but, I don't really know if they realize..that to me, it kinda seems like a facade...

I think I'm having more trouble distinguishing...who exactly really is "Kat"...I'm not the 'me' I was, nor the 'me' I thought I was...or was going to be...anywho. Enough of Kat's weirdness ne? XD Laterz!

December 1, 2006

Sorry for my misunderstanding ya'll. What I was saying two updates ago, was that when you turn 18, you have to get a humungo needle. Never said, I was getting that humungo needle. ^^"

Been busy, and I've been "grrr" at everything. I'm glad...Sometimes...no, not sometimes, I used to be this all the time. I hated talking to people. And, was always secluded...I've been re-writing my testimony, as well as trying to write an autobiography. But, with Kat's brain and her trying to remember something.... = 0. XD

Anywho...Wish me luck for recital on Sunday! ^^" ...Probably won't update till after that.

November 28, 2006

I never realized how close December 3 was...Now, I have to practice like crazy for my piano recital. >.<" And then...hopefully, I'll be able to play my two songs by memory perfectly..*Here's hoping...*

Here's some old pics...
 

The last three Saturdays...At least I think it's the last three...XD My mommy went to flower arranging classes.

November 24, 2006

Tomorrow, I have to go to the doctor for my "annual check-up". What I don't understand, is how come in Connecticut, when you start high school, you have to do a finger prick, but in Edmonton, you don't have to at all, and when you turn 18 you get this nice humongo needle. XD

Currently, I'm doing my harmony homework...>.>" She thinks I'm doing really good. BUT, I'm so annoyed at it. XD Hopefully I'll get it all done soon.

OMG, Math Portfolio's over!! YAY! ^^" ...that's all. XD Yeah, short update, gomen.
Posted by Kat at 8:43PM

November 21, 2006

What can I say today...OMG, embarrassing moments. XD I was running to catch the 44 school special when my foot got stuck in the snow because it was so deep. XD My shoe got stuck and I kept running...and then me going to grab it, running on to the bus, still without my shoe. XD I can't believe that happened to me...weird things tend to happen to me..>.>"

And...I haven't updated in a while..but that's because I've been updating (as in uploading files but posting in lj...) my music files. And, I have a really big play list right now. And they're all disney songs. XD okay, majority are. I'm right now, trying to steer away from all the j-pop I listen to..and because I don't really like j-rock, I don't have to worry about it. XD

I've been watching a lot of Peach Girl lately. That is, the Taiwanese drama. Dong Shi and Ah Li are just so cute!! >.<" ...did  I mention that my Math Portfolio is being mean to me? haha
Posted by Kat at 5:30PM

November 16, 2006

I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated, though...you guys reading are obviously aware it's normal...I hope. XD

This week's been hectic. My first week as a 17 year-old, and I really feel the same. I never feel any older, any taller...haha. BUT...I can say for sure, I'm definitely a lot more stressed out. >.>" Of course, this is the year, I'll never forget. My parents actually forgot that Friday was my birthday, and had done the same they'd do any day...till I told them I was mad at them at around 8 after my piano lesson. They wanted to know why, and I said, "cuz no one told me Happy Birthday". 

There's just so much I'm expected of, and then there's the whole "FESTIVAL" idea Martin and Ozair came up with. And right now, I want it to DIE! XD Really, what can I say? I'm stressing for no reason. I really am...and right now, I think I should back out. I can make the freakin' site any time I want to...it's not a big deal, and it'd only really take me two hours or so. 

But, right now I'm having problems with stress level, and my parents can see it (literally). It's not even because of my lack of sleep anymore. I sleep at 10:30 everyday. It's normal...Sometimes, I just think I'm starting to crack...and go crazy. OMG! That'd be so bad. XD In the mean time, Calculus is driving me insane...and the only thing keeping me sane is Japanese class. ^^" 

So, maybe I am going insane, and no one can really take notice of it because it's me, "Kit-kat" ..I can really relate...to Kai now. XD Sure, I put up a facade, even my parents don't see till I do start crying. >.>" I can't help it. You would too...if you had to worry about the things I did.

Things like...my piano recital on Dec.3. I've got two pieces I've got to play, that have got to be memorized. Which...I haven't even finished learning yet. It really is crunch time for me. AND I HATE IT!
Posted by Kat at 3:21PM

November 9, 2006

Tomorrow's my birthday!...I'm going to a doctor's appointment...on my birthday. XD That's such crap. Anywho..I feel so special today. ^^"

Though, it all started with paranoia..I guess. IB Orals, can really do that to a person...I'd say. haha. I was so nervous, especially seeing as Hui was in my group, who ended up being..not all that bad after all...THANK GOD! XD ...we had to pick sticks...and it seems we have very very very bad luck. Unfortunately, we chose "6" ...which means, we go last. So, we were like randomly bouncing around the classroom...well, that was me XD till we had to go. And, when we finally did enter that extremely white conference room, the three of us sat down, I asked Gordon to grab me one of the Sweet Tarts on the table - which I don't think we were actually allowed to take. haha. But, Ito-sensei didn't say anything...*shrugz* Anywho, we did the oral, and that's that. ^^"

Actually, before the oral, I had opened Martin's present...which wasn't really wrapped anyways. And, I just couldn't help but to laugh. XD There were two Sailor Moon cards...and of course "the necklace!" ^^" Sankyuu Martin & Lily. And...to make me feel even more extra special...at the end of the day, Tori and Linh gave me that card..XD OMG. Anywho. like I said, you guys are awesome!

Sometimes, I can just get so angry at the fact that my dad literally thinks that I never use my head. Just because I'm not as smart as him, doesn't mean I don't use my head. Those are his exact words...well, in cantonese of course. >.<" I HATE! MY LIFE! I really do. And one of these days...no ones gonna care...still...

It's been like this ever since summer. I ask him for help, he goes...What are you stupid? Use your head! Don't you know how to do it?

...well, of course I don't...otherwise, why would I be askin' ya. >.<"...again, I FREAKING HATE MY LIFE!...I'm studying for physics right now. And because of this little upstart, I don't think I'll even be getting anything done. Not only that...I mean, I know he won't be there when I'm taking the test and all..but does he have to kill me like that? like I said...one of these days...

I'm supposed to make the SOBA Anime Club Festival Website...>.<" I need to go make a layout. I'm not in the mood either...I don't even feel like doing anything...anywho...
Posted by Kat at 6:46PM

November 3, 2006

It's November! ...and it snowed like crazy this morning. XD Though...end result was like a centimeter. ^^" A few more days till my birthday! Probably another let down...especially since my parents are extremely busy...and I'm extremely busy...which pretty much means...we're probably not even going to go out for dinner. XD But, we'll see I guess.

Notice the change? New layout's up. It's from the Prince of Tennis Live-action movie that was released on dvd September 28, 2006. Very recent..and it moves so fast, but I absolutely love it. XD

Waited a little after school...walked over to the Jap rooms to see Ozair, Martin, and Chris. Went to the office, talked to Principal Ligouri...about the proposal. He said he'd read it, and talk to us on Monday afternoon. ^^" Hopefully, that's a good thing? I can be such a pessimist...and I really can see a lot of problems that he might see. 

I've realized...that there really is no reason to like someone you know won't like you back. Like I've said before, it'd just never work....we're just so different, yet so alike at the same time. And my dad would tell me, that he would be sitting by the front door with a gun in his hands. Note: inside joke. Anywho..that's all. laterz!

October 28, 2006

Well, I just can't believe it. It's snowing...>.<" First snow..sorta, except that it's actually sticking this time. I really hate snow. XD

Our anime club's cosplay contest...kinda seemed to turn out into a bust...>.<" Plus, with the snow...ARGHH! XD

My IA is annoying me, especially since I can read half of what Clink wrote on it. haha..though, it's not much I guess anyways...so, it's okay...

5 of the reasons why I hate snow:
1) It's cold
2) I get sick easily
3) It's annoying
4) I have to shovel it
5) I don't get a chance to play in it
And that's that, I need to get back to work now. XD
Posted by Kat at 8:44AM

October 27, 2006

We FINALLY! finished the proposal. ^^" We got our full budget too - $400. Though..I'm not sure if it's enough to carry out the whole Martin's idea to have a festival ne? XD The courtesy bus alone would cost us at least $190. And, food. >.<" I don't even wanna know. BUT, we can't even ask SU to help us with more money, if we don't get our proposal through to the admin. GRAARRLLLL...XD

School's busy. I've got a history M.C. exam during lunch on Monday, as well as a calculus exam right after that. Also, I've got to redo my IA by Friday so that I can print three copies of it first thing Friday morning to hand it on Friday. XD What can I say? I'm extremely busy.

AND, the fact that it's getting colder....I saw snow...a few hours ago. XD Anywho...ja ne. ^^"
Posted by Kat at 6:25PM

October 22, 2006

The proposal's still not done, and I'm having serious doubts about even having a festival here.

On a better note...I decided I'll try and think of something for Halloween If I'm lucky, my dad and I can go to Value Village or something...and see if I can find a red mini-skirt. I need 4 bells too. >.<" But...I'd probably just go through our x'mas decorations for that. XD I really hope it's not freezing on Halloween, or I'm be cold. haha

Too bad my hair's not really long enough to do it anymore...but what I have is what'll I have to use. Who makes a wig for Halloween? Oh wait. XD No offence. Anywho...we'll see how it turns out. I probably be doing someone no one can recognize...besides for the whole bell thing. XD But, who cares, at least her hair's cool. ^^"
Posted by Kat at 4:25PM

October 21, 2006

All of a sudden, while Kat watches Halloween Town High..XD ...Martin calls around 9 and says "go make a proposal for the festival" XD Well, it's gonna take me a while. >.<" I'm just glad I finished my harmony yesterday while watching the movie..or I'd have to worry about that too...especially since i have like three tests on Mon/Tues. And, they're somewhat driving me insane. haha

Kim's at work again...She said she was gonna quit....wonder what happened to that ne? XD On another note, my mom's going back to work...which means she goes to the hospital in the afternoon when she's done with work. Hopefully, that doesn't drive her insane ne? I think the reason why "the fire" happened last time, was because she was too overwhelmed with work. And you know what...surprisingly, she loves the job...even if it is working at Save On foods. XD

Chem 30...well, what to say about it? Mr.Riss sux! XD He can't teach, and when he does teach, no one really understands him because he makes everything 10x harder than it actually is.

Oh yeah, the proposal. Since the intercom idea is a bad idea...what can we do...As far as food's concerned...OMG! See, Martin drives me insane. >.<" Anywho, I gave up on the proposal. What I have, is what Martin and Ozair can fix later. And...our budget! We finally get it on Wednesday...which means, meeting on Wednesday...which means..Kat is now officially drained. ^^"

Sometimes, I surprise myself. I'm not in full IB, yet I feel as though, I'm so much more exhausted - emotionally drained - than people who actually are in full IB. Is that even possible? Or..maybe it's just the fact that I'm uber-lazy...*shrugz* who knows...but, yeah.

Recently, I found "The Prince of Tennis Live Action Movie" which came out in May 2006. ^^" Kat is very very very happy! XD It moves so fast though...unfortunately, it's on YouTube, which means, I can't download it, and I can't burn it on dvd...even if it's raw and I don't understand half of it anyways..haha OK! I should stop ranting now...>.>" WAIT! Echizen Ryoma in the live action is so cute. XD er...he's Kanata Hongo. He plays Shin in Nana 2! ^^" Me 'tis happy. Plus, he's uber cute. XD

October 16, 2006

What can I say..well, reason for my site being down...for the past..few days? I'm not sure how long actually. XD But, I have an actual, good excuse this time. Medli's fault. XD No, just kidding. Anywho, updates updates updates!

Generally, all I can say is that I've been really busy. But, anime club is a blast. XD I got my physics test back. >.<" Got a 74. It's not horrible...not great either. My dad...wasn't very happy with it at least, especially since he actually helped me study. I blame the fact that I do questions way too long...and my last 5 questions were the ones I bombed. XD

Cosplay contest is coming up...rather...Halloween is coming up soon. >.<" AND, I still have no idea what I should dress up as...or whatevers...Maybe, what I should do, is see what anime character I could be..that I can just wear normal clothes for. XD That way, I'm still...somewhat normal. Who can I be...hm...what I realized..while looking through my manga collection, trying to find something for me to be, ends up...almost all of them, involve school in someway. haha..anywho...anbody got any ideas for who I can be?

and...OMG! It snowed today...actually, I think that's it's still snowing...but i don't know...it's still dark outside. XD It's not sticking...not that cold yet. >.<" At least, I'm hoping, that it'll be a while till it actually sticks, cuz once that happens, my dad's gonna be like "Take the bus to school with Silu". XD 
Posted by Kat at 7:16PM

October 9, 2006

I still say Thanksgiving here is way way too early. XD I'm still not used to it, even though this is my third year in Edmonton. Bellerose was AWESOME!! XD But, Martin's choice of music annoyed me, especially since I hadn't realized I'd been sitting under the speaker on the bus. >.<" WTF! XD 

I promised I'd show pictures, so here they are: Bellerose Anime Festival
Martin called me today, telling me about everything I missed at the fest since I left at around 12 >.<" Which I seriously regret. But...he was so impressed by the 404 improv...we're deciding to try and see if Ainlay can have our own Anime Festival as well. This is a secret. XD We'll have to see how our planning goes as of yet, plus, we need our school's permission too. >.<"

Martin goes, "Let's do a cherry blossom theme". XD That's hard to do, I'd say. >.<" It's actually not a bad idea, since as we want to do it at the end of March before spring break. 

Anywho, me not gonna say anymore, for fear of...dissapointment. Especially since as we still don't have our budget - Which I am really really really really!! annoyed about. So, I might have to go directly to Alyssa tomorrow, pull Martin along, and yell at her. XD 

Lately, I've been hooked on this movie - Taiyou no Uta. It's a japanese movie with Yui in it. And, her songs are awesome by the way. haha. And...I should stop eating my pack of Mike and Ike's...there's gonna be none soon. >.<"

October 4, 2006

What can I say? really, I'm just really busy. Today, I thought my mp3 player died. But, instead, it was just my headphones. I'm glad. XD I'd hate having to go back to the Sony Store and ask to get another. I've done it once, and I ended up with my old one. XD haha

I got the yearbook. (2005-2006) on Monday. Lots of people signed it, yet I've still got to get a lot of people to sign it. ^^" What I recently learned, me being co-president of the anime club at my school can at times be a good thing. Why? Well, seeing as most of the people are scared of Martin, or think he's mean...well, they need to talk to someone ne? XD

This Saturday, it's Bellerose Anime Festival! XD Um, yeah, let's see if I can go. If I can, I'll post lots and lots of pictures...I hope. ^^"

I think I've come to know Ben, Martin, Linh, Silu, and Tori, a lot better than I have since I met them. ^^" I'm glad. Yet..there are still things I want to do. I hope the year doesn't end on a sour note. ^^"

September 24, 2006

I think I've seen enough of my PGSM layout. XD it's just annoying me. Then again, this one is as well...when I first made it, I didn't realized how many pictures, and how cluttered I had made it look. >.<" I might change it...sooner than I think. XD

Sorry for the late update. Seems everyone at school is getting sick. And, unfortunately, I'm getting sick as well. But, that's not really the reason as to why I didn't update. I was just bombarded with quizzes all week.

My parents are away for the weekend, so it's just me and Kim...We went to West Ed yesterday, other from that, me not going to church because my church is on the west side...but, *shrugz*

I should go and sleep some more, I think I've got a fever. XD *That's...not good ne?*

September 16, 2006

Well, it's been a week, and I'm already overwhelmed in homework. I have to finish my "Historical Investigation" at least by next week. Otherwise, I'll go insane. XD Even though, it's not due for another month or so...October 17th. ^^" I went to the university library just to get a whole buncha books to write my "historical invesitgation."

My first chem test has been done! ^^" Even, though it's just review, I am proud to say, I think I did well, even though I don't at all want to jinx it. >.<" My sister's turning 20 in a matter of days...though, it's more like 2 weeks. XD She should do something big...and she told me, she wanted to go to dinner with friends, that would cost her about $200! XD I was like...woah! lol. My dad got kinda mad at her...but, anywho...

October shall be when I put up the new layout. Which, I've already explained. And, I really should update more, because, I don't want Medli to be mad at me. XD

I watched RENT yesterday, and who ever actually thought it was good...I feel is extremely wrong. Perhaps it's my own religious beliefs and all that, that is spouting out bad things about it. But, that "la Vie Bohemme" or whatever that was called, song took like half an hour to finish, and it was just...really annoying. The only thing I actually liked about the movie was the opening song, "Seasons of Love"...even though it was a funny message, it's a fun song, that I just love to sing. XD

Wowz, it's been an extremely long week. XD With the start of school, the changing of my entire schedule...to what I am now. Anywho, let's start with changing my schedule. I'm taking chem 30, and to fit that into my schedule, I had to go to school...after school in the office to talk to one of the secretaries to change it. I went twice. Once, they told me, "I can't do anything, till Thursday". The next time I went, I told my dad to come along, and thank God I did.

Me and Martin were standing in a line for at least half an hour, though it definately seemed like at least an hour. My dad came and talked to the secretary, pulled me in, and changed it, while my friend was still standing in a line that didn't seem to be moving for 30 mins. ^^" Anywho, now that my schedule's changed...no point in talking more about it.

Calculus so far...we're talking about limits. And I can totally picture myself smiling everytime I see lim on the board. I've got Theory of Knowledge, which is like...psychology...in my first class, we talked about, "If you see something, is it really there? Or do you just think it's there." XD Japanese class is fun as always, and especially fun, since I switched into the class with all my friends in it. (Note: I had been in another - there's two.)

I had to drop my architecture class so I could fit chem into my schedule, which means, bye-bye Ben and Madi. XD But, I'm still taking it next semester...so...Chem class..I met a girl from Cali. History was alright. I'm not so happy about taking it, especially since I'll have to write a lot, which is what I was trying to avoid that. They told me to go into History IB just so that I could take chem. And, with history came theory of knowledge. >.<" 

Gomen. Wasn't trying to ramble...though that seems to be what I did. lol.

I don't have firefox, but, I guess my layout's usually aren't viewable on it. XD As I've been told many times by various friends...whether it's wording or color. But, that's okay. I think.

Tomorrow's the first day of school...officially. ^^" And, that means two days of two classes that I'll probably change. Two days of classes of torture that I know one class will be gone. What's the point. lol. But, *shrugz* I'll be fine...I hope. lol

I've been working on my "new layout" And, it's pretty much done. Perhaps I just like black a lot more than pink is the reason I like it more. XD Or, don't like this one. Anyways, I'll probably put it on mid-September/October. Just because, I made this layout, and I might as well keep for more than a few weeks like I usually do. The "new layout" is High School Musical. XD My current obsession. And...that's pretty much it. And, I do see another problem with firefox, but I'm not gonna say anything. ^^"

August 28, 2006

Came back yesterday. I slept till about 9:40 this morning. VBS was very tiring. Kids...make me very tired. And right now, I can't walk up stairs. >.<" Went to West Ed after lunch and I went to Chapters...bought two manga and a japanese dictionary. I was gonna buy one a while back, just thought it was too expensive. lol. So, I finally bought one.

When we got home, I was so afraid of getting the paper in the mail...with my grade..what a relief is all I can really say. XD
OMG. How can I say this...I'm just so freaking happy! XD I found out I got a 81 on my diploma exam...though, that means my grade is like a 78 right now..>.>" All I need to do now is redo chem 30 the course, not the exam, and I'll be good. ^^"

This is all I've got to worry about now...:
Physics 30 + Diploma Exam
English 30-1 + Diploma Exam
Social 30 + Diploma Exam
Chem 30
Math 31 + Final

Oh yeah, new layout up. But, it's...not much to look at...just because I did it in a hurry at 10 yesterday night. XD PGSM Live Action - Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon...I liked it a lot a while back...You'll probably see a new layout up...that is, if I'm not too busy, seeing as I'm not that satisfied with this one. I don't really like it...>.<"

What can I say? Really, it's just been boring ever since I finished my diploma exam. >.>" I'm not really doing anything, except for the computer, watching movies, playing piano, and reading this stupid book to get my learners. XD

I've been perhaps thinking a little bit too ahead. As in, what to get people for their birthdays, and x'mas already. XD Even though, I've got plenty of time for it. 

I found out I got this random bruise...don't you just hate it when you like go to sleep or something, and then when you wake up, you have a bruise, but you don't know why? Or, maybe that's just me. My dad says I hit the wall...or, I used to...I don't sleep next to a wall anymore. lol. Anwho, that's all for now. Hope to get a new layout sometime this week or next, before I go to "church camp" next weekend. ^^"

I never talked about Heritage Festival, on Saturday, which was a blast! First stop was Japan, and I kinda which I did actually do the "take the picture thing, wearing the japanese clothes" ...but, that's okay. I'm...I'll easily get over it. We bought a few things from there.

Some pictures:


Today, 9 AM was my chem 30 diploma exam. It's OVER!! ^^" Luke and Krish, and Lee, and the dude that I can't spell his name, and I don't really know him, yet he knows my name. XD I think Shuang-Yi? 

I got a brand new cell phone today! ^^" I was kinda mad at my dad because he wanted to do Bell...since my sister wanted that 'special' phone from there...that you can't get at Telus. So, there we were at South Commons for around two hours, waiting for our phones to get set-up. Surprise Surprise!!! It's not a free phone. XD I got a $30 phone. >.<" But, that's because I'm stuck with it for 3 years, and I might as well like it. ^^"

August 5, 2006

I've just been extremely busy lately. Mainly because of summer school. And, now, since it's over, all last week was study non-stop. My exam is on Wednesday...>.<" Wish me luck! ^^"

Yesterday, I saw the first episode of Hannah Montana. (Note: Kat is an extremely big Disney freak. XD) I wanna watch the rest. lol.

In a few hours, we're going to Heritage Festival...which comes every year. And, I think this is our third year. ^^" It's not that exciting...But, I really need to get outta the house...and not at the mall.

My parents decided they should bring me to the mall so that I can buy new clothes for school. They think...I need new clothes because I usually don't buy new clothes, unless I see something I really really really like. XD Which, is very rare. Anywho I kinda felt bad though, cuz I think I spent like over $100 dollars. >.<"

July 26, 2006

I got my package today, the one my host family in Japan sent to me. ^^" I was very surprised. XD And...then I felt really guilty. Especially, since books are heavy. Supposedly, my package weighs 3800g. And from Japan to here - Canada, that just means...lots of money for postage. XD (6800 yen) Guessing that each manga was around 273 yen...and 23 volumes of manga...Which, means...in total....they probably spent around 13079 yen. which...is about $130.79 CAD. >.>" My..I hope that wasn't how much it cost.

My mom said, next time I should suggest myself giving money. And, probably not suggest to buy anything anymore. Just because it is so much. We're gonna send them something nice for Christmas. XD

Anywho, I need to go and do stuff...like study..XD laterz. ^^"

July 21, 2006

I hadn't realized...that I didn't update...in that long. Summer School is driving me nuts, and hopefully, hopefully...I'll have done good on today's test. I did bad on the first two, did okay on the third, with only two more tests left...I've just gotta hope and work hard. 

Have you ever tried just...working really hard at something..yet you still fail at it? And it just seems like everyone else is breezing through? That's what I feel like in my chem class..>.<" And so...since my next test isn't till Tuesday, I'm gonna just sit and chillax for a day. ^^" Laterz

July 11, 2006

It hasn't been longer than a week since my mom's been back home, yet...there still seems to be so many troubles around the house. Mostly, it's my mom making us do stuff while she sits there and watches us. Though, we know she can do all the stuff, and she just probably doesn't want to. ^^"

And...then you see my sister...who seemingly..seems like a bum. She's almost 20, and in university. But because it's summer, these past few days, (even though she does have a part-time job at Starbucks) all she seems to do is sleep. I'm just kinda going...do something. >.<" Here I am, going to school Monday to Friday, and history classes at night...no time for sleep. And when you see other people sleep like three times a day, what are you to think right? I mean, even my mom seemed to do that...well, till today, when I came home, she seemed pretty awake. lol.

My dad had to get an MRI on his shoulder yesterday...while I was at my history lessons. Someone from our church drove me there, and it was before 6, so they kept asking me if I ate dinner yet, if I wanted something to eat, and being overly polite. But, I guess that's what I get for being in a house with older people...though, I'm not really complaining, I still got to my destination. ne?

Yep...I think that's it. lol.

July 6, 2006

Yo! ^^" Another boring day of chem 30! >.<" Well, what can you say...right? I'm just Kat, being Kat. lol. I got an email from my host family from Japan, and they're sending the manga I asked them to buy for me. XD Now that I think back on it, I kinda feel bad for asking them to buy it for me. XD But, I told them I'd send money over. So, I don't feel...that guilty I guess.




YES! My mom's coming home today! ^^" Makes me very happy. I guess that means I'll still have to wash dishes for a while though, but that's alright. >.>" I think my mom'll still have to take things slow.

EDIT!: Now, I kinda feel guilty...I got an email from my host family today, and they told me I didn't have to give them back the money for it. >.<" I guess...I should've expected it though...

July 5, 2006

Hectic day...actually, to make it more correct, I'd say hectic week (2 weeks would be more exact). but, you get the point. ^^" Since Monday, it's been summer school from 8:30AM to 1:00PM and piano history classes from 6:30PM till 8:00PM...haven't gone to see mom since Monday. And, I kinda feel bad about that. So, hopefully, I'll get to go tomorrow...

Auntie Karen brought us lots of food - including soup two days ago. And, there goes our big problem. My dad tries to reheat it. We forget it's on the stove...next thing you know...we come back from my lesson, and their visit to the hospital, and we smell a burn-y smell..and haze. No fire. ^^" Not as extreme as last time. Now that I think about it. Probably, if my mom hadn't been at home, if none of us had been at home, we'd probably all be okay, except for the fact that there's oil on the floor or something. Well, we come home to a burnt pot, and a pretty hazy house. There's no smoke detector going off this time, which is good.

Anywho, that's all for now. My dad's tutoring some guy from Ainlay taking Physics 21 right now. I've got an hour, to do...who-know's-what. Laterz.

July 3, 2006

Well, what can I say. XD All I can say is...I'm stupid. XD
I ended up driving to school. *well, my dad* and no one was there, no teachers, no cars...no nothing. I kept thinking, today's July 4th. And the paper said, 'I go to school on July 4th.' Well, today isn't July 4th - Independence Day!!! >.<" it's July 3rd. lol. Oh well...

So, I went to hospital to see my mom at around 8 something this morning. I have a feeling she's gonna be in the hospital for at least another week. >.>"

After that, we went to Rona to buy some stakes and caution yellow tape to surround our 'property'. The people behind us started building the fence, and...they didn't tell us.
Reasons why my dad doesn't like our neighbors that have built that fence  
1) 'sneaky' people
2) go around building fences without consulting us. *we have to pay for part of it*
3) after our rough grating, they had cars go over top of it...*that's a bad thing...probably means we need another rough grating.*
and, that's all that's happened so far today. XD lol. Anywho. See ya guys at school tomorrow!

All week, all I've been doing is cleaning...and fixing up the house since my mom's not home. So, unfortunately, I will be breaking my promise on that new layout. Probably till August. I actually tried making a new layout. And then PSP randomly shut off on me before I could save anything. And I just got annoyed with it and haven't used it for the rest of the week.

Lately, all we've been drinking are fruit drinks, and when I say fruit drinks, I mean it literally. Since people have been visiting my mom in the hospital...well, let's just say, you know how Chinese people are, the like to bring fruit. XD My dad said, that we have almost as much fruit as the fruit section in Save On Foods. haha.

Anywho, so, we've blended oranges, watermelon, cantalope, peaches, and bananas. And, by far, the worst is definately the cantalope - no taste. And, peaches, were the most sour. How can peaches by raw on the inside, but dying on the outside. See, that just doesn't make any sense at all to me. ^^"

June 26, 2006

Right now, it's really early in the morning...but I woke up around 7:30, and I'm officially done with my "bandage" project. Which is...me making a mini square bandage that looks like the one on my "bleach bear" that I got from Japan. My mom liked the bear...with the bandage...and I think it's mainly because of the bandage. So, I made one, and maybe I'll go stuffed animal making. XD Well, we'll see. I've got a week of doing nothing.

My mom went to the hospital at around 5-ish this morning to do surgery. She'll be there for 5 days. So, I hope she'll be okay. I don't mind the fact that she's going to the hospital..but I do mind the fact that...>.<" I hate hospitals. Then again, I was there yesterday for about two hours for my mom's wound re-dressings.

And...I'm getting kinda bored with this layout too. XD So, I'm thinking perhaps sometime this week, there'll be either a Ultra Maniac, Gundam Seed Destiny, Gakuen Alice, Beyblade, or just a random layout...yeah, I haven't decided yet. I'm trying to steer away from Beyblade though...I think I did quite a few of those...>.>"

June 24, 2006

How is everyone? I'm hoping good. ^^" A few of my friends still need to take exams on Monday...but I'm officially done!! XD If it was any longer, I would die. All I can say is...I hope you guys are...having more fun then I am. 

For one, on Wednesday, around 5:30ish, my mom decides to do some frying with a pot...well, let's just say, we're never leaving my mom to do deep frying alone anymore. Next thing I know, there's fire, me and my sister on the phone, a medic, and the hospital. We were at the hospital till about 11 that day. Thank God! My last exam wasn't till Friday, and that I still had one day left to study...I was almost gonna talk to Mr. Visser, and ask him if I could...you know, take the test at a later time? But, I took it. >.<"

And..every morning till Monday, my mom needs to go to the hospital to get her burns dressed. And...I believe there's surgery on Monday for skin grating or something. I'm not sure. I'm too afraid to ask for the details too. 

Anywho...I think I'm better now...I'm not scared of going into the kitchen anymore, at least. XD And to all of you that I know are taking that Chem final on Monday..."Ganbattene!!"

Hey! ^^" not much, I missed Father's Day...so, my card. lol



What else, I'm pretty much done with the two Beyblade dolls I was trying to make - Rei and Kai...>.>" Well...they kinda look okay, though you can see all the stitching. and Rei's head is...a little off his neck. or what is supposed to be his neck. XD

Yo Yo Yo! What's up?! XD Anywho...I found out that I got a 81 on my theory exam. It's alright I guess...I'm quite happy with it. So, that's a good thing I guess. ^^"

We went to early service so that I could go home and study for my diploma exam for math 30. >.>" I think I'm set. I should be okay. Not looking too good for my physics exam on Friday...but we'll see. Right? ^^"

A nice game of killing/saving cats. Depends what you like I guess. XD

YO! ^^" Can you believe I haven't updated in a really long time? I actually have, but just in livejournal, because it's more convenient doing at school. Today's 06/06/06...triple 6! XD Actually, that sounds really creepy, and I guess people planned it, for the opening night of Omen. And, no I'm not going. XD I wouldn't dare go to a movie theater and watch a horror movie. >.>" Anywho. I got a letter from my host family.

And, a few photos.

Hey! ^^" I'm being bored. Anywho. um...let's see. School's almost over! Actually, not for me, especially since I have to take summer school as well. I'm taking chem 30. And, no, I'm not retaking it. It just so happens I just don't want to take it during the school year. ^^"

Yo! ^^" I did my theory exam, I think I talked about that a little. Very depressing actually, I was stuck on this question asking about German terms. And I looked at them for a really long time, then changed the two terms...>.>" Bad decision. I should've just left them. Argh. 

It's Sunday! ^^" Long weekend. It's like Day-in-Lieu, and Victoria day..but I guess that's not that important ne? XD Well, today's Sunday, like I said before. We bought a brand new flat screen T.V. yesterday...just because, we don't have one, and we have room for three T.V.'s. ^^" 

Yesterday, we went to Superstore, and got my pictures 'printed'? is that how you say it? XD I've got no idea. Anywho...most of my pictures from the Japan trip are in holding form. XD SO, I made my collage-y picture-y frame-y thing-y. ^^" It looks a little cluttered, but anywho, once I get the chance, I'll post up the pic of it, ne? Laterz. 

[EDIT]: Oh yeah, I totally forgot. I'm going to see The Da Vinci Code at 7:30 tonight. Even though I don't know what it's about. XD My sister and dad are crazy about it, and I just happened to tag along. lol. Anywho. yeah, that's it.

Well, in a few minutes, I'll have to leave for Taylor U..where I'm gonna take my Theory exam. >.<" What, I've been killing myself over for the entire year so far. Oh well, this is where it all comes down to I guess. ^^"


Well, for those of you that still haven't done anything got anything for mother's day, for their mom's. XD That's what I'm doing. I was thinking about sending it to the two families that hosted me in Japan, but, would that be kind of awkward? ...because technically, they're not my moms. XD Anywho, Everyone, wish their parents a "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!" ^^" And, yeah. I'll try to get a new layout up soon. I'm getting bored with this one too. lol
[EDIT]: Movie
Posted by Kat at 12:50 PM

May 4, 2006

Yes! A nice update. XD Well, sort of anyways. haha. let's see. Lately, I've been reading a lot of books, plus doing old Math 30 diploma exams. Eck...not fun. But the book part is. XD I'm still thinking about the uploading idea. I might just forget the whole idea, if I don't feel like it. What could I actually upload, that multiple amounts of my online buddies would like to download? That's the main question. You know, if no one downloads it, what's the point right? 

I was gonna upload a "movie clip" ...though it really shouldn't be called one. Why? Because it's of me and my sister randomly dancing. XD but, yeah...didn't work too well. I'll see if I can post it somewhere else though. My sister...laughed at me. >.<" 
[EDIT]: Movie ....haha, it works. ^^"

May 2, 2006

I'm actually thinking, about turning my blog into a download site i.e. manga, anime, movies, etc. Perhaps, it just seems easier to maintain...*shrugz* Especially since that's what I've been doing lately. Downloading...and downloading..because the bad thing about me and blogs: If there's nothing interesting to say, I don't say anything. Lately, I feel overworked. Actually, I feel overworked all the time. Math midterm tomorrow...next Tuesday is my jap test, next Wednesday is my physics test, and jap skit...perhaps grade 11 is like that..? Not sure.

Has anybody seen NANA the live-action movie? and...supposedly, there's some new Ghibli movie coming out soon called Tales from EarthSea: Gedo Senki. ^^" It doesn't look that bad, especially seeing as it's by Hayao Miyzaki. I was just watching the trailer for it. It has nice music...and for some reason, a guy is like chained by his neck..but...other from that...XD Anywho, Just tell me what you guys think about the download site idea. Most likely, the blog will still be here, but, I'll just add in a page with downloads and all that stuff, so, at least I update. But, I'll only do it, if you guys think it's a good idea, and you guys use them. XD

April 21, 2006

There's not much to say, that hasn't been said already. I finished downloading and watching Princess Tutu...which is actually pretty depressing. XD Yeah...perhaps I should lay of the anime..>.>" Watching a bit too much, I think. haha. But, there's just so many new anime coming out, and you can't help but want to watch it. ^^" 

On Wednesday, it was course registration. And, it was just annoying. XD Pretty much, we get our "passport" though, it's not a passport, but a piece of paper with our current grades and courses we want to take. And we bring it to a table where one of the teachers will check to make sure we have prerequisite to take the course, then sit down at a computer and select the right courses. It was really annoying for me actually. Seeing as I have a 58 in physics 20I. And, annoyingly, the school system always puts IB courses regular. So, it seemed to say I was in physics 20, therefore, wouldn't let me take my physics 30. But, there goes my rant. XD You get the point. I did eventually get into my course, after arguing with a teacher. ^^"

Today, me, Kim and Carmen were just waiting for the bus. And were like "Let's go to Starbucks"...yeah, kinda a bad idea. We missed the bus, and had to take the next, but, it was still pretty fun. The feel of it being Friday...drinking...with 21 degree celcius weather...^^" so nice. lol. Anywho, that's all...I'll talk about my piano playing next time...I hope. XD

April 14, 2006

First off, everyone should be happy because of the long weekend. ^^" Last week was hard, therefore, the reason I didn't update. We found out that one of the eleventh graders at my school committed suicide, and died. He was in my history class. And, it's...just hard to think about.

Next...lately, I've been downloading a lot of anime. *sweatdrop* Well...I guess it just seems easier to get to now. XD So, yeah, ever heard of Princess Tutu? Kyou Kara Maou? What else...other random stuff like xxxholic, NANA, Air Gear, and ouran host club. ^^" They're all pretty good. XD Perhaps a little too much.

Today's Good Friday!! ^^" One of my friends are getting baptized on Sunday. 
Anywho, Happy Easter ya'll...

It's definately been a while this time. But, I did give a warning. ^^" I got back on Saturday at around 5 PM. I'm still a bit jet lagged, especially since I lost an hour because of day-light savings time. >.<" Anywho...I finally got the chance to get on the computer. ^^"

So, now I'll tell all about my trip. ^^"
Because there's so many pictures, I'm just gonna post the link...and you guys can just flip through them...
Pictures: JAPAN!!!
If you don't mind going to youtube, there's a few movie clips that I made during the trip with my camera. Though unfortunately, there's no sound. Moving Clippys

Day 1
Flights and more flights [(1) Edmonton to Vancouver, (2) Vancouver to Tokyo] Lots and lots of turbulence. >.<" When we finally got to Tokyo at around 10PM Edmonton time, I was so tired. I watched movies on the plane...when I should've slept. XD Anywho, we went to a hotel, and stayed there for a night

Day 2-Tokyo Day Tour
I kept missing photo-ops...so, I'm going to see if I can find May and Bonnie and get their pics to show you guys. XD There was the Sumida River Cruise. There were lots and lots of bridges. We passed by Tokyo Tower. ^^" Then, the Suginami Animation Museum! We watched this random clip...which, didn't make any sense at all to me. We didn't get to go to Meiji Shrine like I wanted to...but, that's okay. We met host families. Very nice. Mother *I don't remember the name* Chisa (7) and Tomoka (13) Their dad wasn't there.

Day 3
Tomoka kept saying "ƒXƒQ" (suge-) If you can picture japanese...at least. meaning wow! XD I had like regular breakfast with eggs sausage and toast. I was pretty surprised...though there was salad too. ^^" I played with Chisa for a little while, then watched Laputa: Castle in the Sky with her for a little while. We rode bikes to the library and a supermarket. Note: Very dangerous pedestrians. XD I had udon for lunch. OMG! we couldn't go into the Ghibli museum, so they brought me to the Ghibli museum where I could take snapshots of everything outside. XD I went to Tomoka's school. It's so huge! o.O" I mean, I guess it should be if it's a junior high connected to a high school. Tomoka's in the badminton club. I met her friends, though I don't really remember their names...Tomoni and Tomona, Ayame...that's all I remember. haha, Quite a few of her friends walked up to me and tried talking english to me...even though, not very well. ^^" We walked home. And then, soon it was time for HIPPO Club. >.<" I had to introduce myself quite a few times. Kevin was there. *Thank God* There was this random 7 steps game, and a hitting game...Ume is plum...it's sour. XD

Day 4
We went to Mt. Fuji! Took lots of pictures. Then, we saw a monkey play. I touched the monkey's hand...We went to a supermarket. If any of you guys have seen Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 1, you understand about the if you buy something, you "get to draw one". XD Chisa chose the right color stick, and won a prize of some kinda food or something...I think. XD We went back to their apartment and I helped with laundry and making of a birthday cake. For who? CHISA! ^^" I made this "Doll Festival" plaque, though it is not in my pictures...I'm not sure where my mom put it. XD 

Day 5
Tomoka's mom finished my plaque, like putting on the finishing touches a shopping! Went to Shibuya, along with Chisa and Satoko - their neighbor. I bought a school uniform skirt. We ate crepes, and I bought a bento box. ^^" When we got back, I went to Satoko's apartment and got presents! XD Well, she gave me a manga and some kinda of special japanese paper. In Japan, playing cards is called "Trump". Then, we went to their living room to do origami. Her mom gave me a present to >.<" (fan, letter set, origami) I needed to send my luggage to Kobe that night, so I was getting worried that they weren't coming. Satoko, Yuuko (her bigger, younger sister) and their mom came over and we had a mini-party. Cuz, it was my last night in Tokyo.

Day 6
Said goodbye to my host family in Tokyo. On our way to Hiroshima. We took a plane, train...oh! We went to Miyajima that day. Forgot. I bought a charm that's supposed to give me good luck with studying. XD Though, very doubtful. ^^" Went to Hiroshima Intelligent Hotel. XD Sounded funny.  

Day 7
Woke up really early (6:30) I ate breakfast and went to the Shichi Jyuuichi (7 Eleven, there's so many in Japan. XD) We went to the Hiroshima Museum, and the Children's Peace Memorial. Took a Shinkansen to Kyoto where we met high school students. I ate Takoyaki. They're like...*octopus balls* though, not really? Then, I met my 2nd host family. The dad likes anime! I watched a bit of Gundam Seed Destiny, tea time, and sleep

Day 8
Went to a hyaku yen store (100 yen/$1 store) Another HIPPO club thing..not fun at all compared to the one in Tokyo. >.<" 

Day 9-Last Night
So, we went to Himeji so that we could go eat some udon. XD Very big bowl. >.<" But I ate it all. ^^" Went to Himeji Zoo, and we could see the Himeji castle. We took pictures. a lot. First time at a zoo for me, therefore, I had so much fun. XD We went to a restaurant they called "cyclone sushi". Cuz, the sushi is actually on a conveyor belt..or whatever and circles around...if that makes sense. And then, we went to a used bookstore and the dad bought me sixteen manga. >.>" I thought I was gonna pay..but he paid for me. When we get home, he comes out and says present for you. Lots of Prince of Tennis stuff because I mentioned that I love Prince of Tennis. ^^" 

Day 10-The Return

Many airplanes home [(1) Osaka to Narita airport, (2) Narita to Vancouver, (3) Vancouver to Edmonton with a stop in Kelowna] So, technically, about 4 planes. 

That's pretty much it...I got home on April 1st, at 5PM, like I said before. And, now, I'm bombarded with homework, because I missed 3 days, and I have a test tomorrow and on Friday. >.<" Now, I wish I was in Japan. XD

Why do I never update? I don't even update my livejournal. ^^" Though, I do admit, the livejournal is a little more convenient to update while I'm at school. 

Anywho, well, what can i say. it's almost spring break...*yay!*
I'm going to Japan (leaving on Wed.)...and not coming back 'til April 1st. *haha, yesh!*
I still need to finish my Math Portfolio, and hand it in a day early. *>.<" wahhz*

Woahz, it's been a while. >.>" Sorry. This time, it's my fault, so yes, you can blame me. XD 

Saturday, I got my new 'glasses'. Though, it wasn't new glasses really, because I kept my frames. I LOVE my frames...plus they cost me a bit. XD So, any who, I'm adjusting to my new glasses still..

Has anybody seen the xxxholic movie and tsubasa movie yet? Quite good. Tsubasa was really short though, and that made me kinda sad..I mean, how is 30 mins a movie anyways? Oh well. Hopefully I'll have more to spout out laterz. haha. Laterz. ^^"

XD The new layout's up! Yesh! Actually, it was so annoying to put up too...especially since I lost the picture files, and had to redo them, so the layout doesn't exactly look like it's supposed to...but, nonetheless, a new layout. XD

Yesterday, I got my eyes checked. Guess what? My eyesight badness has doubled, therefore, that means I'm not allowed on the computer as much anymore. >.<" Argh....anywho, that's all for now. Ja ne ^^"

March 3, 2006

I'm sorry I couldn't give you guys a new layout. My site's been all wacky because of my hostess changing servers or something, and I haven't been able to update for a while because of that and my FTP program once again. But I promise, once I get the chance to: and I promise this time...that It'll be quick. ^^" 

Oh yeah, in a few weeks, is my Japan trip!!! o.O" Imagine, Kat going to be on her own for all of spring break. *Alone meaning not with family.* XD Oh well, it'll be fun ne? Okay, laterz. ^^"

I can admit, today was kinda strange for me. And, possibly scary, though not in the same way as getting hurt or anything...
Anywho, started out with church. Every Sunday is church day after all...but, what happened..for Sunday School, we went to McDonald's again. We played games, etc. Matt helped me with my theory...XD But the main part was when we were getting a ride back to the church. >.<" Scary! XD Well, let's see. My dad didn't have enough room in his SUV for me and my sister, so we went into Uncle Andrew's van, jamming 9 people in the car. XD I shared a seat with Matt and...well. >.<"

Convo:
Matt: I could just *pushes off the seat*
Kat: You're so mean to me. >.<"
UAndrew: There are no mean boys, just mean girls.
Kat: He's saying you're a girl. XD
Matt: *hits*
Jonathon: XD hitting on Uncle Gary's daughter eh?
*silence*
yeah, anywho, it pretty much went like that..and. >.<" I don't remember the rest. so, you guys can just make it up. lol.

Wanna have a go at Canadian Idol? haha, maybe not. But *shrugz*

Kinda funny, I admit...today, I went to West Ed around 12 because my sister started working at Ardene's again...and @.@" So many people. First was the fact of Canadian Idol! XD Me walking over to Chapters to find manga. Yeah, you could see tons *though exaggerating* of people lining up, or sitting around, just waiting to sing, also, hearing all the out of tune people. XD But, yeah. After realizing I couldn't find the manga I wanted at Chapters, me and my sister walked all the way over to Coles on the other side of the mall. >.>" and there were more people.

well, not as much people as the Canadian Idol side. XD But, there was a hockey game going on, I think...I bought my manga, ended up going back to TnT...and doing supermarket stuff...though, that's a really sucky explanation ne? There was also some biking donation thing too? I'm not really sure. BUt, there was a really big crowd pretty much at every corner today. Parking was incredibly annoying. Oh well.

OH yeah! I'm officially sick. >.>"
this sux...

Well, being lazy as I am, I haven't updated here in a while. >.<" Gomen! BUT...I do have updates. ^^"

Yesterday was my first day of Work Experience. Not as exciting as I'd pictured it being...All I did was print stuff using the damn printing thing...which took like 10 minutes to print one paper for color. >.<" So, I may be exaggerating, but it did take a while. So, after printing a whole buncha pictures, I cut them out and posted a few on his door, took down some on his door, and posted up more on his door. Yeah, that's pretty much all I did, would that even be considered as productive? ...at least Mr.B thinks so. XD ...Bryan got dusty. ^^"

Does anybody notice how everybody seems to be getting sick? Flu season? Ack, I hate the flu, I got it like twice last year. It's horrible. >.<"

Also, for all of you, this gift because...it's that's special time of year: "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!"

February 10, 2006

Today...I went to the work experience office, so that I could do whatevers...and ended up with homework. XD WTF?! lol. anyways, in my craziness yesterday, waiting for more than 4 hours, downloading Howl's Moving Castle. ^^" *I'm bad...* Anywho, I finished downloading it yesterday and watched it today. It's actually really really good. I'm amazed! o.o" lol...though, I don't think that was my point...

Oh yeah! While watching Howl's Moving Castle today, I did my green workbook-y Work experience thing. XD I finished it at around 8-ish? >.<" Don't make me do that again. haha

Now,I just have to finish my math homework...theory, and the test thingy, and TA-DAH!!!
^^" Laterz

Can't really think of what to say, even if I haven't updated in a while...I made a new icon! XD Even though, it's still crap. My printer finally got hooked up today, even though my computer still isn't. lol. School has been dull since the beginning of the new semester. Firstly, I've got a spare. And, today, I went to Bloomfield's class to use the computer, cuz the library's usually mean to me during 6th period. XD There's always a class using the comps. Anywho, I was in the drafting room researching stuff...When I was finished, he told me I should do Work Experience for him...and I go o.O" So, yeah...I might do that, but I have to talk to these people at the Work Experience office, which is something I don't really wanna do. XD

Random pictures

I think it's just me, but I've been really tired lately. Or maybe it's just the fact my sister just got over a cold, and I'm coming down with symptoms. >.<" I hope not. I always get sick because of my sister. *cries* ...oh wellz. Now, I shall finish my physics homework, read more fanfics, and manga. XD

I'm really mad right now...the fact being that I knew I failed my physics midterm, I should be more calmer. But, actually confirming it, and that you're like the worst in the class. yeah, that makes me feel pretty bad. So, I bring my physics book home cuz my dad wants to see it. And, my mom sees it. So I tell her about how mad I am. She starts going on about how I "shouldn't have taken physics in the first place. It's a guy subject." Yeah...I kinda blew a fuse.

Last night I couldn't sleep at all...pains = waking up every few minutes. Anyways...I woke up this morning with still the freaking pains, and I like fell asleep on the couch twice. XD My dad had to keep waking me up.

Anyways moral of the story... physics + lack of sleep = Kat being mean

-----

Yesterday was the 30th...what did I do? Nothing except piano, computer, make *lo bak goh*, get the mail, and watch t.v. XD the beginnings of a bum. lol. Anywho, I think I'm gonna go sleep. laterz.
Note to self: still have to do history homework due thurs.

Oh yeah, yesterday, my sister went to a Kutless concert at Shaw Conference Center...my dad was late picking me up from my piano teacher's house. So, I spent a good ten minutes talking to her about school..and the future. What else...

Oh yeah, after that, we went to TnT. Woah! Craziness. So packed. It took a good 15-30 minutes in line to buy a cart full of stuff. I found my sister something she liked in the bookstore in the back..er..what else. Oh yeah, my dad was buying chinese new year envelopes. And then I bought my bubble tea, that's not really bubble tea, because it does't have (lai-cha) milk tea in it. But, me likies my strawberry. XD
I'm kinda late...but anywho

Happy Chinese New Year!

I'm bored, so I'm doing quizzes, while I'm watching anime and downloading DNAngel. XD Awzz..I thought Tsubasa ended. But no, there's another season starting in April. XD

wahhz! Thanx Nini. ^^" I'll try to put cute news in effect as soon as I can, a long with me fixing the links. Though, I'm lazy. XD And, yes, I can admit that. Especially since I'm actually done with exams. I've just been on an anime downloading craze. ^^" Kat's Downloaded Kimi ga nozomu eien, Maria-sama ga Miteru, Pretear, Spiral, peach girl, ayashi no ceres, and I'm in the process of downloading Prince of Tennis (178 eps..>.<") and DNAngel. Sorry about having no updates. I'll try to update more, and get those damn links back to normal. though...most of them go to another site anyways...

I finished my exams on Tuesday. All done and over with. *YAY!* Physics was horrible. >.<" I just wish I had done better. It was just so hard...and. ARGH! Japanese was okay, I knew pretty much all of it. Though I can admit, I probably got a few wrong...and I've been cleaning and all that crap for a few days now. (Sunday's Chinese New Year)

Youtube.com is good for people who want to watch anime, not for people who want to upload it. XD  OH YEAH! I finally got my webcam up and running, the one my friend got me when I moved. ^^" *thanx Dan* Kat is not uber happy...what's the point ne? when the one who got you the webcam isn't even online himself. lol. Anyways, YAY! long update. I'll try to update more, and fix those links. >.<" Oh yeah, and put Cutenews into effect, unless I still can't figure it out...

So, yeah, lately, I've just been so busy because of those stupid midterms. XD Argh!! Did I mention I hate tests?! XD I'm done with my history midterm...now, it's just math, english, physics, and japanese! YESH! Almost done. lol. 

And, yeah, I'm still lazy with links. Sorry about not having big updates, I'm being...er...lazy. ^^"
Posted by Kat at 3:20 PM

January 13, 2006

Yeah...I realize that I still haven't fixed the links. >.<" Gomen, I haven't had the time to fix it yet, and I probably won't until after midterms. It bothers me, yet, I don't feel like fixing them. So, whatever. XD

The new layout featuring Komatsu Ayaka. Sorry it has taken me so long to put up a new layout. >.<" I've been trying to add php or cute news, but neither is quite that easy for me to use. >.<" SO, unfortunately, that's...as good as it gets for me and layouts. *sigh*

I realize, that the links open up in new pages, and don't look right yet. I'm looking into it.
