It seems like things have gone by so fast, and already today's the 24th, Christmas Eve. My mom's working today, and my dad wants to go out to shop a bit, not for presents or anything, but just for the sake of getting out of the house. And, my sister's still asleep. (or at least she was when I started writing this...XD)

It's been an interesting two weeks, just being back in Edmonton. And of course with it being so cold as of late, I got extremely sick for a good week. I'm still a little sniffly, but a lot better nonetheless. At least I have my voice back. ^^" I am extremely envious, that Guelph is 2 degree Celcius weather with snow, and it's -21 with nothing here.

Yesterday was my last day of work at Save-On, though people don't exactly realize it yet, and seem to expect me coming back to work for them in April. >.<" Well, we'll see. I might just work for April, then hopefully find a better job, preferably related to my future profession, that I can take up again in winter semester of 2010.

It's so weird thinking of things that are so far away, yet seem so close. At least, these are the types of things I've been thinking lately. Being that I'm still thinking of going to Japan next Christmas vacation, which I admit, will definitely be exciting. But, I'm still broke....and I still don't think there's enough money to go there for even a week. >.<" If I pretend that my dad's going to pay for the flights (because both me and my mom would be going), then I only need to worry about hotel, transportation, shopping, and food. But even that, is a bit much...and ARGH~! >.<" I suck at planning...

Oh yeah! Merry White X'mas & A Happy NewS Year~! XD Had to get that out there before I forgot. >.<"

Can I just say right now, how extremely happy I am?! XD

1) 70.4
That's my current GPA, which means if I keep going up, I'll definitely be able to go on my internship next year.
2) 57
Surely a 57 is a bad grade, but seeing that I have a bad prof for Site Engineering, and the fact that almost everyone in the class thought they were failing...and that I passed, I'm extremely happy, because I don't have to retake the course, nor stay back a year just to take it.
3) 63
This one, I'm actually pretty sad about because I felt like I worked pretty hard in the class and got nothing! All my crazy projects were just for this class, and still, a 63. *sigh* But, I won't complain. It's still acceptable, for now anyways. Like they say, you can only go up from here...

Yeah, I got home maybe...an hour or so ago (that is, from when I started writing this...)? I don't know, I can't quite remember. Cuz, I left the house around 10:30 to get to Heritage and meet up with Linh so we could hang out at her place. I honestly wasn't expecting much from Iron Man, though I did want to see it. But OMG! It was awesome~

AND OMG! Ryuusei no Kizuna finale! >.<" I'm glad it ended on 10, just because it's an even number. haha. But, yeah, I just found it amazingly good, with no other explanation really. Right now, I'm just in the midst of trying to crazily download all the episodes of Hanadan, and the second half of the episodes for Hanadan Returns. I have them as rmvb files on data discs, but my dad bought me the dvd version, and apparently, they don't work. ><" So, not wanting him to know about paying the amount, probably $15 for it, I'm trying to cover up the mistake by burning the missing episodes myself.

It feels like it's been so long ago since I've posted, yet...maybe it's only been like 3 days tops? XD

Yesterday, I spent most of my day doing nothing, and watching Code Blue...and playing with my Wii and Wii fit..it was my day of after all. I believe I mentioned it before, that I feel like I hate hanging out with friends, only because of the thought of having to plan things. I hate how things are never planned, and everything's always so last minute. >.<"

A few days ago, I was asked if I wanted to hang out on Tuesday night to play dutch blitz at someone's house, and of course, I was like, "sure." But, once it actually got to Tuesday night, past 5, no one still called me as to what time we were meeting up. Finally at 6, someone calls me and tells me we'll meet later, because one person is at someone else's house, and doesn't want to walk over. So...she told me probably around 7. So, carrying my cell and watching TV, I didn't get a call till maybe 7:45-ish. And, seeing as I have to work today, I didn't want to stay too late either, so I left promptly before 10:30.

Sure enough, the company was fun to have, and watching Take the Lead and a few episodes of Friends was definitely fun over snacks, but why are they such bad planners!?! XD

I remember someone once asking me why I've never held a party back in Guelph. And, perhaps that's why? I don't mind planning, but the everything else that comes with it....the keeping people company, the people that just can't hang out together...that tends to happen to me all the time. Having friends that can't really connect together...has always been my problem I think, and it's a waste to have like two separate parties, right? But, whilst trying your best to make the ones that seem awkward in the crowd from normal...you'd be ignoring the ones that can be together? Something like that, if it makes sense. It's such a hassle.

Saturday....what to say, well, it was freezing!!! Okay, so it wasn't horrible, but it was cold still with the coat I was wearing. We ended up going to Shopper's Drug Mart and buying a whole buncha cookies, because they were Manager's specials, and only 79 cents each. XD Yes, I'm cheap that way. >.<"

Mmmm...the rest of the day was spent watching and finishing 'Miss No Good', a Taiwanese drama with Rainie Yang. Just because I love her dramas, especially after watching 'Devil Beside You' and 'Why Why Love' a while back. All I can say about it, is that I found it awesome, because Mike He wasn't the main lead like the other two. But oh man...so innocent, and so awesome. XD

I had fun making egg tarts and chocolates yesterday night. Though, I suppose doing both at the same time, something's bound to go wrong, right? >.<" So, apparently my egg tarts didn't come out all that good because I didn't mix the eggs well enough. And when my sister tried the first one, she pretty much lied to me and told me that they were salty and sucked, so I was extremely sad. So, I tried one, ad it was okay, besides for the fact that they were a little funny with the eggs. XD

The chocolates on the other hand came out quite good. I tried making a star, and out came a house. >.<" So, I ended up breaking the house and those are on the side for now. My chocolates on the other hand are a present. But, from the broken star, at least I'm sure you won't die when you eat them! XD Like, actually, they just taste like chocolate! Though, it was fun making them nonetheless...and OMG! It's supposedly -25 outside right now?!?! I guess yesterday was colder...haha

'Ryuusei no Kizuna' is coming to its last episode, and I'm extremely excited! And then in January I've got 'Rescue' to look forward to..after I saw the CM, I just know, it's got to be awesome. haha. But why doesn't it start till the 24th of January!!?! >.<" Anywho, that's it for now, I think. Laterz~

So yeah, my computer randomly froze not once, but twice, while trying to write this, so sorry about my...undetailed-ness? I don't know. I just don't like writing things twice, let alone thrice.

Anyways, so I got woken up at 9:50-ish by the phone, and I was still half asleep so I didn't go running to the phone. And, once it got to the answering machine, I heard that it was my GM manager (Jen). Might I add, that my answering machine actually sucks, so literally, the only part that can be heard is "Hi, this is Jen calling from Save-On..." And so, around 10:30-ish, I get another call, it was her again, and she told me I didn't have to work today because another girl who works in GM is going to work, and if I was there, there would be no need.

So, I called up my dad right after expressing my happiness of not having to go to work, and he tells me about how he talked to my boss this morning about it. Pretty much, he told me that in cases like this protocol is actually to find a manager to do something. *shrugz* whatever..Again around 2-ish, Jen calls and tells me I need to come in because the other girl who was going to come in, wasn't going to anymore. So, I told her it was fine and went to work at 5.

And so, when I got to work, and up to the office, I saw Jen and Jill kinda just sitting around waiting for me. They told me about how what happened was pretty creepy, and that they watched the videos from last night to make sure. And so, they gave me one of the phones that the managers carry around, since supposedly "someone needs to carry it around" anyways.

Once I got back to the floor and started working, the new assistant manager (maybe for one or two months?) came over to me, and told me that "if that ever happens again, call me right away and I'll come and beat the shit out of that guy for you!" And, yes, he said that word for word, and so I laughed. But he reasoned it with the fact that he has his own kids and he couldn't imagine that happening to his own kids. So, yeah, it was a pretty slow night of facing, and dusting, and facing...and backstock...and facing. XD So, nothing happened! ^^" That's a good thing after all, ne? Anywho, that's all for today~

Wahhh~ You know it's bad when...you work in a grocery store and facing pharmacy when some random customer decides to hit on you. >.<" Yeah, that's what happened to me today, I was doing just that, and then some random maybe 30-year old Indian guy comes over, and accidentally touches my butt three times. At first I thought it was accidental, but after a few times, I realized it wasn't, because he kept looking back at me. For cases like this, I haven't learned protocol, so I kinda just ignored it and let it go. But, as I type right now, my dad's writing a letter to my boss about what happened for me, because it's kinda embarrassing to say it again for me. XD It's been another day of facing grocery...yeah, that's pretty much it. As exciting as working at a grocery store gets I guess. Later~

December 9, 2008
Yesterday was already my first day of work, and yeah, boring, as per usual. I mean, it doesn't take long to put stuff away and clean a little, and then face...But, I tried my best to prolong the tasks, I guess. Near the end of the shift, I think I was starting to get sick, and a sore throat. So, I kinda felt a little fever-ish, and dizzy, and like hit shelving twice. XD But luckily, it was done, and I got home. But..I'm still doubting the fact that it was sickness then. I blame it on the fact that I'm probably still stuck in Guelph time, and 10 = 12 in my brain still.

Today's been total relaxation. My sister woke up pretty late, but I think she has an exam today, which would explain why she's still not back yet.

Someone from Save-on did call me today, and asked me if I wanted to work in Grocery for the day. Yeah, I was like...don't want to work. XD I've been pretty lazy today, and my schedule's not horrible or anything, but, man, I wish still that I didn't have to work. I'd rather laze around doing nothing.

And so unfortunately, because I'm back for the holidays only doing work...I don't think there'll really be any interesting posts till at least I get back to Guelph, perhaps. Oh~ But I am happy my parents helped me buy Code Blue and Hanadan. haha, Yeah, being gone for a good 3 months, seems to be reason for them to make my room like a warehouse.

Honestly, I was happy to come, until today after church. I spent a nice long conversation with Mr.CNS about churches yesterday whilst people were over our house for some Christmas party. Yeah, so after church, somehow it's turned into some kind of fight within the family, and I'm somehow caught in between.

I brought home the card my dad sent me for my birthday, and put it onto the piano, because that's tend to do with cards...and somehow, my mom only just found it last night, and decided to make this big deal out of it, and then my sister got extremely jealous that she didn't get a card for her birthday, and has been pretty mad at my dad since then.

After church today though, it's ben a fight with my dad and sisterbecause apparently they've 'drifted apart' and don't talk, yet they do..a lot, and if they don't the reason I'd see, is because she's never home anyways. Though, perhaps my dad go a little far when saying it's all because of her fellowship that she's never home, and so insecure all the time. *sigh*...yeah, I forgot why I was glad to be away from home, I suppose.

And so somehow, I got pulled into this fight, because my mom decided to butt into the fight and supposedly try to fix things, and of course, she always makes things worse, by saying the wrong things. So, my dad mentions that I decided to go to Ontario because I wanted to be away from her, which is of course, partially true, but it's the fighting within the family that I'm always trying to get away from. I love my family very much, it's the fighting I could do without. So, once my dad finally parked the car in the garage, and everyone got out of the car, I went back to my room, and my mom came in and started to question me. So, it's not a surprise I'd randomly break out crying...>.<" So, yeah, a good 30 minutes or so locking myself in a bathroom. XD

Anywho, I think I'm getting another cold. That's really all I feel like talking about. As far as I know though, my sister's always been jealous of me...like the fact I get to go to Ontario, away from my parents, and the fact that I live on my own....etc. I'm sure she wants to do it, but she's stuck cause she's going to UofA, and any reasoning about living away from home, is considered a waste of money. SO, of course, I can feel extremely sorry about that...but what am I supposed to do? >.<" It's not like I purposely chose to go to Ontario, I could've stayed in Edmonton, if there was an undergraduate Architecture program, right? >.<" Anywho, I'm feeling guilty, even though I know I probably shouldn't be, cause I haven't done anything wrongat least not that I know of...

*sigh* So the nervousness I had after my Analysis exam has been lifted once I woke up this morning, at 5:50am. Yes, I woke up just cuz I wanted to watch Music Station. Why? Because the day before was Utaban, and I totally missed it, and couldn't find it. I officially found it today though, around 7-ish, and I still haven't downloaded it yet because I think I've downloaded a lot already this month, and it's not even been more than a week yet. haha. I'll just download it once I get back to Edmonton or something. I should arrive back around 9pm or so...

6:45 (Ontario time) to 8:45 (Edmonton) ...that's like 4 hours on a plane. *sigh* Did I mention that I absolutely hate planes? >.<" Of course, unfortunately, they're the only means of transportation to anywhere good. XD

I'm still thinking of my trip to Japan next X'mas break , but I have a feeling it might end up turning into a Korean tour with a side trip to Japan for a few days or something. I'd be sad, I think...but I don't know...it's interesting too, I suppose! But I'd still rather go to Japan...but my dad was trying to convince me to go to Korea, just because flight tickets are cheaper, like...way way cheaper. >.<" Though, with a good bit of searching I did manage to find flights in December for about $900CAD round trip for JAL, which is pretty good. So, I'd average about $3500 for flights. Now I just need to see how much it'll cost for hotels...Watch me go broke just trying to get there. XD No wonder my parents wanted me to go with my school, so much cheaper~ But you can't visit random places like JE shops or concerts if you're going with your schoool...

ARGH~ So tired, no one else in the house seems to be awake yet, even though I know that one has an exam in the afternoon. I'm not sure about the other though. Though I know that if he doesn't have an exam, he's probably going to go to school to study or something. I kinda want to leave the house with neither of them really making a fuss to help me or what not. It's just easier that way. ^^" Plus, I do feel a little bit bad about how they need to find two more people to live in the house again next year, because I think it's Mike's last year, and I only need a place for first semester, because I'm probably back in Edmonton for internship for second semester. But, yeah, that's still debatable. Anywho, I'm tired, and I might go back to sleep so later~

Have you ever thought that maybe, the idea of having a boyfriend is just so much better than actually having one? XD Sure enough, I really like the idea of saying yes, I have a boyfriend, and that he'll always be there for me. But in turn, I'm one of those people who probably won't make the time for him, because my school work is more important than he'd be. People say that once they get into a relationship, they change, and they easily make time just so they can spend time with the other. I just find it to be something I can't seem to do myself.

After seeing people in relationships, sure you envy what they have and how they act around one another. Yet, if you know the person before and after their relationship...I'm not too sure anymore. Yes, I'm talking about Angela again. I don't know, I just got pissed off this morning, when she texts me at like 11:20-ish asking "What's going to be on the exam tonight?" Like, dude, if you don't know now, you're screwed. So, I got annoyed, and just went to take a shower, and once I came back out there was another text saying, "Just everything in the green book, right?" Okay, so I didn't answer. But what am I supposed to say, calmly say yes? I don't know, right now I'd rather see her screwed over. XD We're supposed to be best friends...and I feel as though something's just blocking everything ever since maybe...one or two months ago.

Honestly, I blame her boyfriend, who doesn't realize what he's dealing with, and being extremely clingy...and the fact that hey both live in the East Townhouses, and to walk to each others' place takes less than a minute. And the fact that they both come from Vancouver...honestly, they're perfect for each other. It just pisses me off that Angela's changed more than anything. I'm not mad at her boyfriend. If anything, I think I talk to her boyfriend more calmly than I do her now, compared to before which was vice-versa...

*sigh* Well, overall, the whole point was that I'm mad at Angela, and I can't really figure out why. I'm guessing it's because she hasn't actually realized that I'm mad at her...and apparently, people don't really see how I'm feeling, unless I really like go grr at them or something. I think, only Vanessa and Anitha have notice if I'm really mad about something...but it's all weird. Like, when I see her in person, I try to go back to normal, like on Tuesday, after our plants exam, when we ended up going to the UC to see what people were selling, and we looked at jewelry together, that was fun. But at times when I get random texts and her annoying phone calls all about school, I get mad...that's all I suppose. Yes, so my thoughts when I got out of the shower. haha. I need to go back to studying. >.<" Oh yeah, it's snowing here again...

December 4, 2008
Wahhh, weather in Edmonton is cold! >.<" Yesterday night I spent most of the time just trying to figure out if my suitcase was too heavy or not. haha. And, I thought it was so, I was like sorting stuff and getting rid of stuff...etc. I still need to put in my external harddrive...so hopefully, I don't go over...

FNS was somewhat disappointing. Seems like everything's disappointing me lately. Though, it was nice to end up liking SMAP's Kono Toki, Kitto Yume Jyanai, and YUZU's Story. I used to absolutely hate Kimura Takuya...besides for the fact that he was in JE. Then, I saw posters of him, and then I watched the HERO drama, and it wasn't half bad actually. haha, yeah, he's quite an interesting guy, ne? ^^" And that song...is mad catchy...OH yeah! And since when does Koki have a tongue ring? I saw that the other day and I'm like..oh, that explains a lot. haha.



Yup, so today's me last exam...ARGH!!! So not ready for it. >.<" But at least it's pretty much all long answers, so I just need to explain myself well, and it should be fine...I think. And..I'm probably gonna keep complaining about my mouse till I get a new one. >.<" At least when I get home, I can use my tablet haha, a temporary relief of using a crappy mouse, I suppose. Oh yeah! And my dual screens~ ^^" Okay, anywho, I should get back to finishing the stuff I need to do before I leave for school, later~

December 3, 2008
My mouse is actually dying, and I'm sad...it sucks to have to use my laptop built-in mouse to do things..>.<" Anywho, yesterday, I ended up watching Kindaichi Shounen Jikenbo 2005, which apparently, is like a special to the series or something. But oh man, what's with me lately, and watching all these dramas, ne? >.<" First Tegoshi, now Kame...but this one's mad scary. >.<" Or, maybe just for me, since I don't like horror. But it was quite interesting to watch, and Kame's natural acting is always superb.

Whilst watching, my dad called, and I had one of those nice serious conversations again. Then, Ian knocked on my door, and told me he was going to eat dinner. So, I told him to eat first, and then finished my call with my dad. Ian is fun to talk to, Jon's the only one I think I feel more awkward around, especially since I liked him at one point. XD

kyaaaa~ 2 more days. XD I can't wait just to go home and sleep in my own bed. My back's been killing me the last few weeks or so. >.<" Blame the fact that I have a crappy bed here, that I think my friends said they might've found at the dump or something. XD Sounds bad, but it's actually not that bad...you can just feel some of the springs sometimes or something...>.<" 2 days still feels like such a long time! Sure enough though, that also means it's only one more day to eat dinner with my housemates before I leave~ which also means...it's about 3 days away from me having to go see my boss at work, and then also 3 days away from having tons of people at my house, because my parents wanted to have a "small" X'mas party for my mom's Sunday School students...and, yes, she has quite a few kids in her class, small ones, that is.

I don't know if I really want to go to see my boss though on Saturday, I had like the most wackiest dream last night about me somehow coming home earlier on Friday, and then going to see him that night. And then next thing you know somehow, I got talked into doing like physical labor of helping expand the store! >.<" And then somehow, GM overtook the pharmacy, and it was all like manga everywhere. It was...quite a random dream actually~ Maybe, I'm missing my manga at home, and I shall bring some of it back in January. haha.

Lately, I've been listening to quite a bit of Crystal Kay, that is, if two songs can be considered a bit. It's Koi ni Ochitara, and Boyfriend -Part II-...can someone tell me why there's no part 1? XD And, so yeah, I only found out about her from that cartoon KAT-TUN episode where they di the collab with her, and they sang these two songs. So, yup, I think that's the most I'll say today, I need to go do some massive studying since my last exam's tomorrow. XD Ja ne~

December 2, 2008
So, somehow, even though NaBloPoMo is over, I still feel like posting and talking about everything. XD I think, maybe it's because I'm so used to it now, that I feel like I have to do it? Though I know once I get back to Edmonton, this will most likely be a lie...XD Oh yeah, when I woke up this morning, I decided that I had lots of time, and so I ended up flipping my mattress, and remaking my bed and then doing all my usual stuff. But of course, I still ended up having the same amount of time I usually do to get out the door...

Yup, so I've finished another exam, and just one more to go! 3 more days to go~ It's like, you know it's bad when...on an exam you know what the plant is, and the botanical name as pinus mugo var. mugo, and when you try to remember what the common name is, you think dwarf ____ pine, when all this time, the word is right in front of you. *sigh*

In the mean time, with all this free time, I'm just trying to get through two loads of laundry. >.<" Somehow, it's come to having so much laundry in my room, ne? haha, Usually I only have one, but I'm doing like the massive bedding and stuff too just because I'm going to be away for a month.

Anyone watch Room of King? I just know I've downloaded all the eps and watched up to maybe..episode 4...but it's not a horrible drama, it just seems like not much of a plot. XD And now I'm watching Holiday in Handcuffs...yeah...haha, I randomly saw a trailer of it, and was like, I want to watch it! So, I found it and am watching it now...well, let's just say, there's a reason why it's on ABCFamily. ^^"

I think I've said it before, but have you ever felt bad or maybe just guilty, when your parents let you have everything that you want? Sure enough, some things are stupid, and obviously, you don't have to have them. But in the midst of exams, and end of semester projects, one day, I talked to my dad and told him about how I made a trip to the mall and saw these really cute ear muffs. So he keeps telling me stuff like, "it's okay, if you want to buy it, buy it. Once in a while you need to treat yourself." Honestly, I think I've been treating myself a lot this year. XD And, I do feel guilty, maybe just a little bit...but I have a feeling, he thinks his is the only way for me to have some temporary happiness, or have some stress relieved or something...since as he's not there, and I'm stuck at home either studying or doing projects every weekend. *shrugz* No idea. We all know Kat thinks too much. XD

I spent the last few hours just trying to get stupid jpgs into one single pdf file, because apparently, that's what my prof wanted, instead of 6 single pdf files. Yeah, it's not as easy as it'd seem to be, ne? >.<" I only finally got it to work, only to get a watermark at the bottom, and that pisses me off...

Anywho, yeah, so I studied a bit for plants...and then I need to study tomorrow and Wednesday..and probably Thursday too for Analysis...That's still quite a bit of time, so that's good. My friend actually asked me if I wanted to go see a movie with them tomorrow night, the movie being Twilight. I mean, I want to hang with them, but I need to study, and I've already seen Twilight. >.<"

Whenever I'm bored, or trying to procrastinate, I realize that I end up writing Japanese letters...like, literally, letters in Japanese. But to who? (�¿�K�Í�M�¿) Last year was when my fandom started, and of course I might've written maybe two letters, but I doubt they actually reach the recipient. But just the hope that they might read it is good enough for me, really. ^^" I don't really mind paying the postage...not really anyways...okay, maybe a little. haha

November 30, 2008
*sigh* Well, I ended up studying most of my Saturday away...though like I said, I did end up going to school for a good 2 or 3 hours though...4 days left~!

Might I add, that watching Shissou ~Dead Run~ was mad depressing? Sure enough, I didn't have enough time to sit down and watch it straight, but ended up skimming through it. It's so dark. I've seriously come to love Tesshi's acting, and this confirms it...that he's a natural of course. Cuz, I only officially found the movie last night, after about 3 or 4 months of hoping to find it. I didn't realize it'd been subbed. I don't know, I don't think Tesshi = emo or anything, but seriously...he has a lot of those roles, at least when he started out, like there's this, than....Gachibaka, oh yeah, and those short Gekidan Engimono episodes...was he emo in My Boss, My Hero? ...not really I don't think. XD But, yeah, you get what i mean...

Wahh~ It's getting colder and colder here. Luckily, by the time it gets extremely cold, I'll already be back in Edmonton. The bad news, it's already colder there or at least so it may seem? XD I spent today going to church, and then afterwards, just having a good lunch with just me and Ian. Sure enough, eating with my housemates isn't always awkward. Sometimes it's fun, if we can really have serious conversations. Though, I must say, it's rare for me to find someone I know well who uses his middle name for everything rather than his own first name. Maybe he doesn't like his first name? I don't know. But looking at his ID card one day confirmed it. haha. And so, today's November 30th:

With it being the last day of November, I think this might be the last time for me posting so much! XD I'll post lots when I'm back in Edmonton, but until then, maybe just less frequently from here on out~

November 29, 2008
I ended up actually getting an email from my prof telling us to look at these comments while workig on our final project. Yeah, so I ended up leaving the house around 2, and getting to school at 2:30-ish to get my project from my locker to add scale bars and page numbers...but yeah, it was snowing..a lot! I hadn't had lunch yet, so after getting my project, and talking to Pojing and Aisha for a little bit, I ended up going to the UC and buying popcorn chicken, just because, it was simple and fast to eat. XD Anywho, for some reason, it's the best I've had for a while now, nice and fresh...that is, fresh as it can be I guess...

I studied plants for quite a bit...for some reason I can't quite remember what I usually do for studying, like, when I start, but somehow, it seems like I'm done so soon today? Maybe, I don't know. I memorized all the names, and half the 'what they look like' parts already...and then tomorrow's devoted to the two list pages, and then sunday's the finish studying plants 'what they look like', and then studying some more on monday...and then the exam's tuesday morning. Er...should have enough time, I think..

Well, anyways, I've just realized that I just do so much better with things if I organize my time and just plan things out. If I'm last minute, of course I stress, and when I'm stressed, apparently, I stress other people out too. XD

Lately, as in the past two days, I've actually just been having my overall weird feelings. They're rare for me, but everytime I have one, they're right about something. THe onl two I can remember the most are me moving up from CT to Edmonton, and us stopping in Winnipeg. Well, I had a bad feeling, and something bad did happen. Then, I think maybe last year I was at the airport and then I had a bad feeling, and then once I got to the scanning place, I got body searched. I don't know, I've just been having this uneasy feeling, and I always seem to be right about them, even if they're small things...And when I told my dad, somehow he thought, maybe it's possibility that Angela's trying to do something evil to me or something...or will at least...but, it's too early to know for sure, right?

Anywho, today I'm going to school so I can go to the library and scan a textbook that I need to study that's on reserve, and then print a bit more of my project that I finished today. So, I'll be completely done with projects and everything on Monday. Since I'm planning to stay for our open house for our projects, I'm just gonna place my project onto a table, and make my way back home so I can study or something. Honestly, I think I just need to go back home, or this uneasiness isn't going to go away...

November 28, 2008
I feel like lately, all I've been doing is complaining about friends, so sorry about that. >.<" But I'm going to talk a little bit more about it. XD Well, today, I ended up having a pretty fun time with Angela after our Site eng final, and all we did was get some brunch and just talk. So then, once I got home, she told me that apparently, we didn't do very good on our group project together, and that it was probably lowest of the bunch. I told her calmly that it was fine, and to just accept it, yet she thinks the grading is unfair and that we should ask for a re-marking of it...well, I don't know...I found it pretty fair honestly. Sure enough, we put a lot of time and effort into it, and we got the harder teacher to grade ours. But, in general, I'd agree, with the fact that we had so much trouble with printing, and still it wasn't correct...

So, I ended up playing Sailor Moon games for the good part of the afternoon, and then taking a nap. Whilst napping, I wake up from getting a text. Guess who? Yes, Angela. >.<" So, apparently she must've texted me while she was in studio just to ask me "What did you use to color your Palestine project?" Yeah...I got somewhat annoyed seeing it, and just went back to sleep. I mean, seriously, why does she even need to know what I used to color? The point is to be original, is it not? I don't know, I'm done with mine, I'm not looking at it again. I'm just waiting for Monday to hand it in, and then after that, I'm not staying for the open house, I'm just going straight home to study for plants...

I found an old clip of Cartoon KAT-TUN, but unfortunately, I can't remember which episode it is. It's the one where Taguchi creates a illustration psychological test. So, I thought I'd try it along with them. XD Seems to be episode 46 I think...

Anywho, what they did was look at different shapes, and they had to draw what they thought they could make from the shapes, and then what they felt from the drawings.


And so, my answers:


and what each shape is supposed to mean...


Though, I suppose it somewhat defeats the purpose that I watched the episode once through first and decided to do it, but I tried just looking at the shapes and just drawing stuff for the sake of drawing what I thought I could make with them, rather than for the reasonings.

Oh yeah, and I woke up at like 6 this morning just so I could catch Music Station on Keyhole. XD And of course my computer decided to be retarded and decides to do windows updates during mini-ste, and luckily, I got restarted and everything just before KAT-TUN's performance. ^^" Awww, but this version's shorter than the usual version...still pretty though, of course. At least, the whole waking up earl was worth it for being able to actually se a good show finally on Keyhole and then..KAT-TUN. XD mhmm...anywho, after Music Station, I'm going back to sleep! So, laterz~

November 27, 2008
Honestly, I'm in love with KAT-TUN's new song White X'mas. Sure enough, I don't quite understand why they had to make a sad ballad about lost love, but it just seemed perfect~ The first time I heard it I was like...pfft. XD And the third and fourth time, I was addicted. And then comes...the Music Station performance, anybody watch it? The first time I watched it unsubbed right when it was released and I don't know why, but some how, I started crying. So, I can't wait to see the PV, after seeing the edit version.

Like, I know Jin's voice isn't great, but his vibrato makes me chill. XD I just found it weird to tear, when I wasn't even listening that closely to the lyrics. And perhaps I was the only one who realized that Maru does a weird thing when he sings (like, every phrase he sings he moves the mike away from his mouth...) ARGH! I would debate whether to buy it or not also...but I know I shouldn't. haha. In general, the song is just beautiful and seemingly powerful~

And, yeah, so I was procrastinating, and I decided to watch Twilight yesterday. The ending was T_T"...But Edward's actor..Robert Pattinson I believe. Woah~. His acting was quite good. haha. Anywho, it was actually quite a good movie I'd say, based on the book, I found it...really good, cheesy, but good nonetheless. ^^"

Apparently, I was very tired yesterday after studying for a good few hours of Site Eng before ACF, and after we finished singing, I ended up making a fool of myself, and falling on the floor. Apparently, I wasn't looking at the distance, and missed the chair. >.<" That's rare to happen to me, but it seems I'm getting more and more clutzier the more I'm away from my parents. haha.

Today, I've officially finished with classes~ And so, yes, there's also officially, 8 days left! I spent a few nights ago whilst doing the finishing touches on my site eng project working on a new layout for my real blog...sure enough, not that this one isn't the real thing, but I have my own subdomain too. XD It's just not that many people know about it. ^^" Anywho, that's when I was thinking, I should probably change my LJ layout soon too, but to what, I'm not sure yet. haha.
Posted at 12:19PM

November 26, 2008
So yeah...it's time for a new layout. I don't know when I put up the old purple one, but it's just been way too long. >.<" The purple was sooo purple! Hopefully, this layout will work out? I'm not too sure how long this'll hold up for, but it's quite nice. Obviously, I didn't make it, and I'm trying my best to change everything the way I want it to be. But anywho, I don't think I'll be changing it again for a while, because of time.

Yesterday, right after my worthless site eng class, I went home and started studying like crazy for site eng. Sure enough, I still hate that prof, I mean, he decided to only clarify things today, when some of it is on the project that's due on Friday. >.<" Soo....I'm gonna study as much as I can for site eng. And so, once this week is over, I'll study crazily for plants over the weekend, and then study for Landscape Analysis during the week, and I'll be good to go back home. haha.

Honestly, lately, I've been feeling really awkward around my house mates. One being that only the two living upstairs are around all the time, and the one that's living next to me is kinda MIA for the time being. Perhaps it's the fact I'm a girl, but I don't know. It seems like we don't make very much interaction, and I'm still sitting in my room either doing projects, studying, or computering pretty much all the time. And of course, when it comes to dinner, it's rare if I cook. And so, they call me for dinner when they finish cooking.

So, 10 days left officially, till I get to go back home. ^^" Apparently, I found out today on facebook from a friend I work with at the supermarket, that I'm on the schedule already. I didn't realize I told them when I'd start or anything like that...but apparently, my name's already on the list. *shrugz* Perhaps I'll need to clarify or something, so I don't work like crazy hours like I did in the summer. I just want to work during the day. >.<" Night shifts actually suck...

I don't know, all I've been thinking about lately, is just going home, X'mas, and making egg tarts. Yes, that's right, egg tarts. Weird thing to be thinking about I suppose, but I've been wanting to eat them for the longest time, and we'd planned to go make them back in October, but we never found the time in between all the parties and events they all had. But yes, I do have to admit, that somehow, I had more fun with Vanessa in the 30 or so minutes we had together after class yesterday, than I do on the phone for 5 minutes with Angela. >.<"

Somehow, everything she does right now annoys me, and I'm not completely sure why. It's like...because I know she's using me, because she doesn't pay attention herself...perhaps that's the main reason I don't like a lot of people...because they assume I'll know everything, cuz I'm always there for classes, and am writing notes for everything. It's like...perhaps, I only want people say good things, and just not gossip...And that's kind of my situation right now...

Yesterday night, I also finished off my site eng assignment. I realized that my prof is retarded like I said. But, after my plants class, I decided to hurry and finish off the assignment, and then bring it to school tomorrow to plot it, and finish so I can hand it in on Thursday morning, and won't have to go back to school Friday night just to give it to him. Well, that's just plain retarded, I'd say.

I think for about an hour, I've been trying to figure out how to make jpgs into pdf files, that is for my final design project on Palestine. So whilst everyone is still going crazy in studio trying to do all-nighters, and what not, I've completed my assignment. ^^" YAY~!


Oh yes, I finally opened my cds. XD That is all three that I had yet to open. My friend had gone to Japan over the summer and bought me the LE Summer Time single also, but it had been sitting in my room like a picture until now. XD

*sigh* I find Keyhole actually amazing, yet a little depressing at the same time, only because whenever I want to watch, it's always news. haha. Though...I suppose, I did randomly catch a few CMS with Johnny's in them, which was kinda cool. haha. Oh yeah, and it's snowing again. T_T" Apparently, at least till I leave...I really like snow...flurries...not wet ones that make me all wet...and...not able to see...

Okay, so it wasn't an amazing gift that I got this year...I wanted to get this game called Phase 10, and some lady took it. XD So I somehow ended up with Christmas decorations. Yes, I'm referring to the random gift exchange at church yesterday. To be honest, it wasn't as fun as last year's...but whatever. So, yeah, now, my Christmas lights are hanging on the stairs inside my house here in Guelph...and I still have some other red hang-y decoration stuff, I'm not too sure what to do with. Maybe I'll decorate my window with them? *shrugz* who knows? I'll probably take them back home and hang them there. XD There's bound to be use for them, I think..It just felt like this year, a lot of people ran out of time and didn't really think about presents, and then just bought Tim Horton's gift certificate cards...Though...thinking back to what I got last year, was a really cute polar bear plush and a santa hat..haha, yeah, I guess this was somewhat not as special to me.

Now, there's only 11 days left till I go back home...and like how I am, I ended up starting to pack way back in September. haha. No, not really...it's just the stuff I though I don't need and stuff like that, I put them into the suitcase ahead of time, and now I actually am going around my room looking for stuff that I don't need to use...

So, yes, the checklist of what's left to do:
-Site Eng Final on Thursday
-Plants Exam next Tuesday
-Landscape Analysis Final next Thursday

And, my room is mad hot! >.<" Maybe the heat's on to high or something. Lately, I've been listening to Perfume a lot. I'm not saying that they sng extremely well, but they are quite pretty and their music is extremely danceable! haha. Their new song Dream Fighter is actually awesome. Sure enough, I haven't listened to it enough to figure out wat it's actually about yet, but...it's pretty. haha.

Yes...it's only yesterday I found the awesome-ness that KeyHoleTV is. XD I knew about it before, I just didn't know how to get it, and somehow, I finally have i. And, luckily I can usually understand a good 70% of everything said. But...if 30% I don't know, it definitely means I need to study some more, ne? Though it sems when I started watching it was only 11:30-ish at night, so it was still all news. haha.

I honestly can't wait to go home and play my piano...it's been so longsince I've last played..or touched a piano or keyboard for that matter...

And might I add, that I'm sad because my fridge doesn't seem to work anymore? Yes, a mini fridge that I bought only a year ago is broken. How's this possible?! >.<" Anywho, I'm mad...because I'm not sure now how next year'll turn out. Hopefully I get a townhouse then, and then at least I'll have the regular fridge and not have to worry about my small one anymore. I should've been smart and sold it at the end of last year. >.<"

Yesterday was spent..mm...going to sleep at 2, and waking up at 7:30. I took the bus to school at around 8:30, and got to school around 9-ish. So, I was like, the first one to studio that day I think. Anywho, I took the papers that I drew, plotted them through, then cut them to size...did a bit of white-outing, and then photo copied them. By that time I was done, it was already 10:30. I decided to go eat breakfast, and I did that, and in the process, missed my bus. So, I stood outside waiting for the bus for a good 20 minutes or so. When I got home, I got back to working, and coloring, and surprisingly, one of my house mates were already up. Anywho, so yeah, that's pretty much what I did all day. At least I finished ne of my projects, now I just need to go and bind them.

So, today~ I'm going to church till maybe 2 to 3-ish. It's toonie lunch, and then it's gift exchange. So, I wonder how things'll turn out, ne? ^^" I almost thought I forgot to post yesterday, but I'd forgotten that I'd posted so late last night....or, early morning? Whatever. Somehow, my cold is getting worse or something. Hopefully, I'll get better before beginning of next week...

I was watching Music Station the other day, the one with KAT-TUN in it. And so, yeah...somehow I'm starting to like UVERworld...their not scary, and their music's quite nice. They're exactly the kind of music and image I had in mind, when thinking about regular rock...haha. Sure enough, I'm not a big fan of rock, but it's not half-bad at least. And, while talking about things I like, I shall say again, Skip Beat! = awesome-ness~. haha. I really should finishing buying the manga volumes, but I've pretty much read up to the newest scans, and I own random english and Japanese volumes of it. Ah~ I still have Dan's present. Maybe I'll use it for that...

I still haven't opened my cds! >.<" I'm just wondering if I have enough self control to keep them closed till I get back to Edmonton in less than 2 weeks. ARGH~ I can't wait! I get o go home so much more earlier this year, and later also...It's like...actually a whole month being able to be back in Edmonton. It's awesome. haha. Last year, I got 3 weeks, which wasn't bad I suppose. But it felt so short. Anywho, that's all for now, laterz~

In general, my dad finally realized that I'm done with exams on the December 4th, and that being the case, would be sitting around for 5 days or so doing nothing waiting for a plane. So, he said he'd check out the West Jet, and see if we can change my flight to te 5th. I'm already extremely happy actually, besides for my NEWS album and single to finally come...but because I don't leave Edmonton till January 6th. I believe, that's the Tuesday, meaning I technically miss two days of school. XD Sure enough, it's just something I'm happy about, because it's something I don't do if I have a choice. Apparently, only that day and after is my flight back to Guelph cheaper. So, instead of making it back in time for classes, I'm making it back just a little bit later so that I can get a cheaper flight. haha.

Whilst doing my final projects, I've been watching "Fated to Love You". It's a 24 episoded Taiwanese drama, which is quite a cute romance. But after you think about it fully, it's so unrealistic. haha. I'm currently on episode like...16 I think? So hopefully, I'll finish it within the next two days.

Honestly, I'm just extremely happy also, that I'm almost done with one of my projects. Just the Site Eng left really to do. I need to go to school some time tomorrow morning so I can photocopy or plot my papers, and come back home and color. Then, maybe Monday, I'll bring them in to can them into pdf files, and then print them in color. Sunday's the gift exchange, and so, I'm not to sure as to how much time I'll have after church, before buses stop running. >.<"

But then I just ed to do a little bit left for my site eng project, which is put in a swale and find a few more spot elevations...and then study like crazy for my site eng final...mmhmm. That'll be fun. But at least I have time to study, right?

And, oh yes...my NEWS album and single. haha. They're still sitting neatly, and unopened on my shelf, because I still haven't opened them yet. I really want to, but just looking at the covers put me in awe, and me in a mind set like...they're too pretty to open. >.<" But, of course, eventually, I'll open them...I opened Pacific after a few days. haha. Oh yeah, did I mention I have another headache. >.>"

Oh yeah, and I'm just gonna repeat myself again, Ryo = awesome-ness. Somehow, I think with all the Ryo dramas I've been watching, I'm starting to like his acting way more than Yamapi's~...is that even possible? Perhaps just for Ryusei no Kizuna then. Especially in episode 4 when he's acting like some hip hop dancer. haha. Man, there's so many things that happen in the background of these episodes, you realy have to pay attention to find them, and then laugh your way through them. haha ^^"

November 21, 2008

kyaaaaaaa~ Yes, I've actually been working since maybe 12-ish, and then just now Jon came home and told me I got a package! Of course...haha, it was my package, my birthday present that I picked for myself from my parents.


So, what it was: NEWS - color [album], NEWS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY [single], and the free cute little Tare Panda keychain that came with it. ^^"


Anywho, I just wanted to spazz a little, since it came, I might edit this post later if I have time tonight and talk some more. But, I've got to get back to work so I can get the bulk of my work done tonight. So, in the midst of my working, I got a little bit of kyaaaa~ing in. haha. Laterz.

November 20, 2008

I think I've officially found J-rockers a little creepy. XD I mean, just take a look at T.M.Revolution. Maybe he's not all rock, but whatever. An Cafe, Gackt, Miyavi, Pierrot, X-Japan...well, in general. XD Perhaps it's because they're more like VK? Is that what they call them? Well, either way, VK's and j-rock scares me. XD I was watching a Music Station special from 2008.06.27 and saw T.M. Revolution, that's really only the real reason why I mentioned it. haha.

Anywho, I've got a mad migraine...my head feels stuffed...drinking NeoCitran's not helping...my Tylenol's not working...and I still have three projects due and almost no time left to do them. I'm so screwed for time. Oh yeah~ Did I mention it was snowing?...and that it's supposed to snow till like, when I leave in December? T_T Sure enough, I suppose NeoCitran isn't supposed to really be instantaneous or anything. But usually it does a better job than it actually is doing now. So, yes, in the midst of all the working and studying...this happens, and therefore, it's taking so much more out of me it seems...and I won't be able to do very many more all-nighters any time soon...

Lately, I've been a little obsessed with trying to find earrings. That is, earrings like that of Shizuna's in Ryusei no Kizuna, because I think they're amazing! Sure enough, I might end up just trying to make them, but I know they won't turn out all that good, at least I doubt myself, highly. haha.


I don't know, I just find them extremely sweet. ^^" And, even if TBS shop has them, they're way too over-priced for me, I think. They're selling her earrings for 18,900 yen. That's like, $250 CAD! >.<" Well, thye are extremely pretty just, over priced...and what was that someone told me that the Japanese yen is strong now? The exchange rate's like...1 to 76. Crazy. Last I remembered, it was like 1 to 100.

And, lately, yes, I'm back on the topic of friends. Because, the friend I have that's supposed to be my best friend, just doesn't feel like one. The more that I think about it, I feel as thoug she's just using me, and relying on me. She's barely ther or classes, and when that's the case, she'll borrow my notes. When she half-heartily does homework, she'll copy mine. And in general, I think she's lazing her way through things. When she tries to blame me for a bad mark, that 48 from last time, of course I'd be mad. I did most of the work, and she did nothing! Sure that means I did something wrong, and I wasn't understanding anything. But what's the point of being in a group, if she doesn't try to help anyways? *sigh* Anywho, I'm just mad at her right now...and I'm not answering her texts.

That is, also added to that, we have our final analysis project due tomorrow, and me and Heidi were going to make Angela do the perspective/axo sketch because she left early the other day. Instead, she criticizes the part that I wrote, and tells me to she won't do the drawing. I have reason to be mad, don't I? *sigh* I seriously...just want to get out of Guelph...

Well, yesterday, I talked about how I got sick. Well, I'm definitely sick. XD There's time when I think, oh, I'm sick, and I'm fine the next day. But, argh it's horrible! I mean I drank so much neocitran and it doesn't even seem to be working this time, except to make me tired. >.<"

I'll also add in, that its snowing quite hard right now? And, yeah, it's sticking to the ground. It's not that I mind the whiteness of it all, it's just cold outside. And, I can't really stay out too long like that, especially when I'm sick.

I ended up skipping my afternoon class, and going to the computer lab to try to print off part of a project, but total fail. So, I thought I'd go to the library to print it off, and it kept coming out the wrong size. >.<" I ended up walking back to my building and printing it off, and it finally working for me, which was nice, and catching the next bus home. Anywho, probably the rest of the night'll be working on my projects. That is, there's three of them I have to finish, one by tonight at least. Hopefully, for my site eng, I'll be finished fairly soon. And like for my Palestine one, I need to be done, at least by Saturday or Sunday...at least on paper, so that I can go photocopy them and color them on Monday-Tuesday-ish...

But yes, besides for the fact my head doesn't really feel like it's here, I'm good~ haha. Plus, hopefully, my NEWS album should be coming in a few days, or at least I hope so...probably mid-week next week or something...

November 18, 2008

Sometimes I wonder, what exactly are friends for? I had a friend I talked to the longest time for in the summer...practically all summer, and once school hits, he's different, and when he wants something from me, he'll ask. But, he won't even say thanks after or anything. I mean, seriously, are friends just things to get to where you want?

I've actually thinking about that a lot lately, especially since I've been feeling like I have a lot less friends than normal people do. But, of course that's true, with my anti-social-ness and all. And, I know there's always that saying that one best friend is better than 5 regular friends. But in general these days, I feel like I don't really have any real friends, besides for maybe a select few. I easily lose contact with people, or vice-versa, and it does get quite saddening after thinking about it for too long.

And when I start thinking this way, I think something either wrong with me, or there's just something I'm missing. Sure enough, I'm really faith-based most of the time, and the other half the time, I believe that things happen for a reason. But, it's obviously not leading me on a good path, if I want to do a missions trip. I have actually thought about it...a missions trip to Japan, which I've actually been thinking about for the last year or so. I doubt many people have really known that I thought about it though, since I probably don't voice it enough. But, I just feel as though everything that's happened up till now is leading to that.

I woke up this morning sick. All flemmy and everything. Got up anyways, and then caught the bus at 7:40. I realized that at my class, only 10 or so people showed up. During the class, I was like dying because he was talking about stuff again that he hought were clearly obvious, but obviously aren't. I think I was going through a fever then or something...because I was seriously, like dying. Then, finally class ended and we got our marks back from the last project. Yeah, I failed it it seems. 48. I'm quite mad right now. Cuz obviously, if I can get a good enough mark on a midterm, and then fail all of my assignments, something's wrong here, right?

Today was pretty much going to school early to get ready for my presentation, and then eating lunch on campus. Today for me, was Mac and cheese...which I hadn't had in a really long time. And I randomly decided to get a booster juice just because my throat was acting up, and I wanted something to drink, worth my money. And honestly, if you think about it, booster juice actually is..XD Anywho, it's all using my money on my student card anyways...which doesn't seem like I'll be finishing this year still.

Last night, I was thinking....I don't know, now that I think about it, I don't think I should really be trusting drama wiki to figure out how many episodes of Ryusei no Kizuna there are. I feel like there's so much more that's going to happen. XD Plus, wouldn't there be more PR or something if episode 6 was the last episode? >.<" It might end up being 11 episodes or so, maybe? Because it is supposed to end in December after all...

I've got to get back to studying for my plants...and starting for research or what not on my Palestine project, but the pace I'm going just doesn't seem to be going good. I just want everything to be done. But, it's just taking a lot longer than I'd expected. >.<" I believe, it's 22 days till I get to go back home. XD Yesterday actually, my dad decided to make a random home video, and I could see the Christmas tree go up, with all the ornaments, my sister playing mario cart on the wii, my mom randomly walking around, and the lights that they put out outside. It was quite random, but it's making me a little homesick. Anywho, I need get to my craziness~

Yesterday, I ended up helping Ian make pasta for about 20 people, and that took about an hour to finish cooking because we had such a small pot. So, Ian went over to Quach's place early for worship team practice, and then I finished cooking it. So, I called Quach when I finished, and he came to pick me up and I went with him back to his place. I studied for a bit while I was there, and then stopped because people started coming.

Did I mention it was pouring? Well, it was raining all day, and by 5 to 6-ish it was pouring like crazy. So, I ended up seeing a lot of people entering with broken umbrellas. Was quite interesting. I'm just glad I use mine, or mine would've broken too.

So, we ended up just waiting around for a bit, and then eating dinner. After dinner, was dessert, and then a game of Cranium. When the Cranium was over though, Quach decided to leave because he had to drive to Toronto, and that was my turn to say I'd go too, especially since Quach'd give me a ride back, even though our houses are like a few blocks away from each other. So, we got out of the house and realized that it was snowing! Well, technically, I'd say that it's sleet-ing, but, nonetheless, he was like screaming that it was snowing into the house.

So, he had to drop of me, and another girl, and decided to drop the other girl first since she's farther away. My story in a nutshell...oh, besides for the whole this morning the cleaning lady was around for a good few hours, and I found out she only gets $50. XD

Am I running out of things to say? It seems so actually. Is it bad to have two faces? After a while, it just seems to happen to me. There's some people where I can just act naturally around...and then there's the people where I act either sometimes nice to, and other times, not very nice to...It's just a matter of having a well, not very large tolerance for people in general. A lot of people either annoy me easily, or something after a while. Why? >.<"

If you aren't watching Ryusei no Kizuna, you should go watch it! XD Sure enough, it's a mystery, and who can't like a drama with Ryo-chan, Toda Erika, and Nino? ^^" I don't know, I just found each episode filled with love...more and more love! Plus, Ryo's acting to me is superb, because his expressions are awesome-ness. Sadly, there's only 6 episodes, I seriously can't believe it...but, I'm kind of curious now, what the novel is like. So, I did stumble upon a Ryusei no Kizuna community and found out someone was actually translating it. Sure enough, I wouldn't mind having a hard copy, but I'm not even sure where to look.

This morning when I woke up, I found out that NEWS' new album color has leaked. Yes, it's just LOTS of love. ^^" I can't wait to write a review. XD

Today I'm going to be like...mass studying again, and tonight, I'm still debating whether or not to go to dinner at Quach's, since I'd have to pay, but I think I'm gonna skip out and stay at home, and just study some more. I mean, my exam's on Tuesday, and time's running out for the things I need to do...

It's funny actually, that my friend wanted me to do the NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), and at the end, she still gave up before I did, especially after being so excited about it, and convincing me to do it too. *sigh* But I suppose she's busy, so I won't hold it against you. ^^"

This morning I woke up at 6:40am, went back to sleep and woke up at 7. I quickly got out of bed, made breakfast, and realized, I was still 5 minutes early. So, I ended up at school at around 8:10 went to class for about 30 minutes, and decided I'd skip out. I grabbed the Site Eng assignment that as in studio, and left to go home, and I've pretty much been home ever since then, cuz I got home around...9:45? May I just say, I hate parking lots, and drainage systems. ^^" If only there was an easier way of drawing them.

I've been watching Innocent Love, that is the drama with Horikita Maki and Kitagawa Yujin - the guy I hadn't realized was actually the guy from YUZU. It's quite interesting actually, if you watch it one episode after the other, instead of individually every week. When I first tried watching the first two episodes, I got so bored with it, but the second time watching them through (having four episodes) it has slightly perked my interest a bit more. Plus, Yujin's smile..is way too hard to resist. ^^"

So, somehow, I feel the want to watch Byakkotai again, even though I know there's no time. Also, for some reason, I've been into skulls lately. >.< It's like, obviously, it's a bad influence from Tego-nyan ne? XD And somehow, I do want to buy a cap...not that I don't like my Yankees cap, I just want another one. haha. And, I shall take a picture of my site Eng project, once I finish it..and the rest of them too, if I can remember. Anywho, my little note to self of things left to do:
1) Site Eng Final Project (Nov.28)
2) Palestine Garden Design Final Project (Nov.26)
a) Site Inventory & Analysis
b) Concept diagrams/Goals & Objectives
c) Final plan
3) Landscape Analysis Final project (Nov.21)

and in the midst of that...
1) Plants Exam (Nov.18)
2) Site Eng Final Exam (Nov.25)
3) Plants Exam (Dec.2)
4) Landscape Analysis Final Exam (Dec.4)

And, I don't get to go back to Edmonton till the 9th, and technically, it'll feel like the 10th, because I don't leave till night anyways. And unfortunately, with weird weather, my knees are deciding to act up again. >.>"

Are you supposed to feel older on your birthday? I think I mentioned it before, about how I never feel any different after my birthday from the year before. Though perhaps I might feel a little more confident, that's really it. Jen asked me today if I felt any older after turning 19, and I told her I felt the same, and she agreed that it was the same with her. haha. In general, I want to say something like, I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I feel like, even if I'm a year older now, I still feel less mature than other people my age, yet I'm still more serious when I do things...that is, if that makes sense. Like, I know I've lived a pretty sheltered life...but I feel like I'm so much more innocent than a lot of other people I know.

A nice song I listened to recently is Arigatou by ABC-Z & Kis-my-ft2 on the November 9th episode of Shounen Club. The song is mad catchy! ^^"

I've just been pushed into a world of craziness where there's like...projects due every week, or there's an exam...or ARGH! Craziness! >.<" I mean, I've got like three final projects due on the 27, two exams more before finals, and still a few more projects along side those that that have yet to be due. *sigh* I'm so screwed. I don't think I'm getting sleep the last week of November. haha. At least, my last final, is Landscape Analysis, and I can...be calm kinda. haha. And then I have to look forward to Karen's last plant exam that got pushed into the first week of finals too...

November 12, 2008

Yesterday was actually quite fun. I went to the LA building around 8, and met up with Angela. We had to replot our project so that we could hand it in. Therefore, we went up to Rick and Willy's to replot it. The problem was that she'd folded the paper, and for some reason, the plotter would not scan the paper. We were having major problems...>.<" But smehow, about 5 minutes before class, we tried on more time while holding both ends and finally it scanned all the way in! And yes, we were two minutes early! ^^"

After the really really boring class, it was stil only like 9:50-ish, so we walked around the LA building for a bit, and then my aunt, and we walked over to Prairie, and there she was standing right by her car. We went back to my place first to drop of the 10lbs of apples. And afterwards, we were on our way to Toronto.

We got to Wasabi around 11:30, and around 1pm finished eating. We went grocery shopping so I could buy a bit more groceries to last us for a little longer. Though, I'm sure we have enough, but just in case, I decided to buy a bit more.I mean....bak choy and gai lan shouldn't take that long to eat, right? And then, I bought green onion cakes and dumplings, and so, at least those we can take longer to eat since they're in the freezer anyways.

We ended up going to Pmall, and then getting a bit of bubble tea, and then going to Oriental Centre? I'm not sure where that is, but I think I went there with Danny too last time. XD Anywho, I wanted to buy a drama...I really did, but somehow, I couldn't find one that I actually wanted. I think, perhaps it's because I already bought a lot last time I went, which was like, half a year ago...and my dad texted me on Monday, telling me that he found Code Blue. And so...there's wasn't much I really wanted to find left, I suppose. I mean, I really really want to get Ryusei no Kizuna, but it's not even all out yet. XP We'll just have to wait.

Anywho, we drove back to Guelph, and got back around 5, I dropped off my groceries and stuff at my house, and then we drove back to East so that we could drop Angela off at her place, and technically me too, since I stayed there till class at 7. We didn't actually end up eating dinner, which I find highly surprising, but whatever. Then we ended up going to the plants class, getting our exams back...and, that was yesterday in a nutshell...

OH yeah! I totally forgot about mentioning Tego-nyan's birthday yesterday. ><" But, I think I was more excited when Ryo's came around. haha.

November 11, 2008

Certainly, there were countless amounts of people that wished me a 'Happy Birthday', and many that even told me twice, or maybe three, or even four times. Can I say, I feel blessed?

I woke up this morning, that is after the whole surprise birthday cake at 12am thing, at around 10:30-ish. Then, I thought, wouldn't it be cool if it snowed today? And, guess what?


I got up, decided to call my parents, who by the way are still in Calgary, well, the were at the time anyways, and I talked to them for a little bit. I decided to make breakfast, do my usual computer stuff, and get ready for class. Before I left though, Jon came back home, and then came downstairs, told me a Happy Birthday, gave me mail, which happened to be from my dad. So, of course, they didn't forget after all..oh yeah~ and it sings! XD


And so, I went catch the bus at around 12:35, got to school around 1pm, and walked over to to the LA building, and on the way in, found Pojing, who immediately told me Happy Birthday. We went inside, and up to studio, and she gave me her present. XD I was like...wow, I get presents this year! XD Then, we went back to the room we have class in, in the same building, and Angela comes in with my present. XD


What ended up happeneing for class was a Concept Charette, and therefore, we had to come up with a concept for anything, and we ended up sitting in studio for a good 2.5 hours trying to think of something. This is my outcome, simple...


So, after the charette was over, and I handed mine in, I went back to the bus loop and caught the bus back home. The rest of ACF-ers wanted to take me out for dinner, and so I ended up waiting around till 5:45 at home, and Quach came to pick me up, and so somehow I knew that Jon and Ian wouldn't come, especially since one's got a midterm tomorrow, and the other an essay due. But it's okay, I see them more than I think I do. So, what ended up happening, was 8 of us went to Fuji, a Japanese buffet restaurant downtown. 8 = Me, Grace, Jermane, Jen, Matt, Quach, Stephen, and Ryan. And yes by the way, the guy I like just happened to be here for some reason. XD Quach called me when I was still in studio, asking if there was anyone in particular that I wanted to invite, and I said no. And somehow, he still shows up. So yeah, if you can guess who I like...haha.

Honestly though, I just find it funny because I saw him early Sunday morning, because of church, sat next to him, he told me Happy Birthday, just in case I wouldn't see him till Wednesday, he asked me to go to the youth worship thing Sunday night, which I ended up going to with Quach and Stephen, and seeing him there playing piano. And then...somehow yesterday on my actual birthday, I see him again, just a few hours later. XD So, I find it surprising, at least. And so, after dinner, Quach dropped me off back at home, and that was that day. XD


Perhaps I'll post later about my aunt coming later...I feel like I'm a day behind when I update now. >.>"

November 10, 2008

Does anyone else realize how precise he seems to dance? Like, everything's in sync with the music, and it just amazed me yet again...haha. And of course, his hair is love! ^^"


Today's my birthday, and so, I should be happy, and doing something special. Instead, I'm probably gonna spending it mostly at school, and trying to be secluded. Since I didn't want anyone to really know it was my birthday...and therefore didn't tell anybody, though there were some people who randomly found out, or just knew beforehand. Somehow, this year, I feel as though...it loses all meaning to have to tell someone it's your birthday. If they don't know in the first place, doesn't that just mean, they didn't care all that much in the first place to find out? I don't know, that's just what I thought. And so, in reality, only like 5 people knew.

Yesterday, I went to church, and was actually able to sit next to that guy that I talked about last time. We had to catch the school bus that came to the school, and not long after me and Ian got on the bus, I saw him running towards the bus. It was a quiet bus ride to church, but either way he sat next to me during the service. And afterwards, talked to me for a bit. Though, I know it's not really going anywhere, there's always hope, right? ^^" Oh yeah, and he wished me a early Happy Birthday...

Afterwards, we ended up cramming in Quach's car, all 6 of us, and then going to Ultra to buy some groceries. Now that we bought a bit of groceries though, I'm not sure what else we might need to buy when I go with my aunt on Tuesday...but whatever, maybe we won't need anything after all...*shrugz* And then we went back to their place to eat lunch, because our fridge is pretty empty..still, even with the new groceries.

Oh yeah, and did I mention tha Angela called me like 10 times in an hour just because she didn't get what I did for the Site Eng project, or what she had to do, or how to do it? >.<" I got kinda annoyed actually.

He, as in the music major dude, kept trying to invite me to this worship thing last night also, which actually was only a few hours ago at 6:30-ish. But, I was working on my laptop at home till about 6:15, when I got a call from Quach, and he told me he'd pick me up and we'd go after all. So, I quickly got ready, and we went. We went back to his place to get Stephen, and then got to church around 6:35 for some awesome worship time.

And so, he dropped me back off at home, and it was quite funny though. Quach told me to stay up till 12:30 just so he could be the first to tell me a Happy Birthday over MSN. And then Dan decides he should try to beat him to it. ^^" And actually, talking to him did make me feel better, especially since I got off the phone with my parents who by the way are in Calgary right now for the sake of "taking a break", and I kinda got mad at them. Why...I can't remember. But I felt they'd be more fun to talk to, but I suppose I'm just being a bother to them. So, overall, it was a bad afternoon with me thinking, obviously people don't care it's my birthday if they want me to work, if they want me to not talk to them...

Anywho, I guess, tomorrow, I'll talk more about what happened today, since in general, most of it hasn't happened yet.

EDIT: What can I say, I was definitely surprised, for sure, I thought nothing fun would happen today, but instead I got so much more than I bargained for. Right after Dan told me Happy Birthday on MSN, I started hearing noises from the front door. Next thing you know, I hear a knock on the door, and the whole ACF bunch (that's...Tiff, Grace, Jermane, Quach, Stephen, Ian and Jon) were actually standing there with a lit cake and sang Happy Birthday. It's the first surprise birthday I've ever had...and so, it was hard not to cry. But luckily, I didn't. I'll have to get the pictures from Stephen later. haha. I suppose that meant that Quach told the rest of his house, and after dropping me off at home, went to buy a cake and that's why he told me to stay up till 12:30. XD

So, even if I don't make plans, it seems people will try to make plans for me. So at 6pm tonight, the 8 of us are going to Fuji for my actual birthday dinner. And so, I'll tell more later...Ja ne~

November 9, 2008

Yesterday, I ended up waking up at around 10:50 because Angela texted me. So, I ate my left over rice from a day or two ago, and then ate chicken and potatoes with it. At around 12:30, I left to catch the bus, got to school at 1 to drop off my project for Angela to finish. I ended up waiting for the bus for a good a good 15-20 minutes or so, and it was raining. And then, I went to Future Shop and I went to Zellars yesterday, and it was just so cute...and I would've bought the ear muffs, but they went around my head weird, and weren't very comfy...and because I always wear my headphones outside, I tried them on with my headphones at the same time, and I couldn't hear my music playing. >.<" Therefore, I didn't buy it, though they were still quite cute.


I don't know if it's just me, but I find it weird that the bags that I like, are going into fashion. This was a Tinkerbell one from Zellars, but seriously...I'm amazed that this is the case. I mean, my favorite bag is this one, which I happen to use like all the time. When did this start happeneing anyways?


My new memory card reader, which I can't get over the fact that it works so well, even if I've never heard of the brand.


Last time, I mentioned my kinder surprises...So, just ignore my post-its, and look at my cute little toys. haha.


I kinda wish they all went back to Toronto for a weekend, rather than just one stays, or something like that. It makes things a lot easier for me. XD But, I guess you have to make do with what you have...or something like that. But either way, I can't deny the fact that being around them is somewhat fun at the same time. Though of course, it's a lot easier to get to know people one on one than in a group.

I only just listened to David Archuleta's new song Crush today, and OMG! I think I've fallen in love with pop again. ^^"

November 8, 2008

I had my whole weekend planned out yesterday morning, where I'd work on my half of the Site Engineering project all yesterday night. Instead, I did about half of what I planned to do, because I realized, I got lost in the calculations. *sigh* School is hard, ne? I was planning to work on my Palestine research part today, and because of all the setbacks...everything got pushed back, it seems. Did I mention, I'm getting easily side-tracked?

I did actually end up finishing my part though, at least, to how I think the calculations should be done. Hopefully, they're right...is all I can say. So, I guess I'll make that extra little trip to go to drop that drawing off at school tomorrow, and then maybe go to Future Shop so I can see how useful a Memory Card reader can be. ^^" Because, it does feel a little weird, taking loads of pictures, and not being able to get them off my camera. >.>"

This weekend, it's just me and Ian at home...and apparently, he still has a midterm, and therefore, I think he's going to be gone for the better part of tomorrow too. I guess it gives me more time to work on my research...ARGH! There's pros and cons to having the school year end so quickly. Pro being..I have so much reading to catch up on, I hope I'll be ready enough for my Site Eng "final exam".

Kinder surprises are actually lots of fun, even the crappy toys. I think I've collected...6 of them just in the past two months. XD I'd show a picture...but I can't get my pictures off my camera! >.<" Hopefully, soon. ^^"

November 7, 2008

So tired! I actually have been working on my Site Engineering assignment for a good...hm..I don't know how long actually. I came home around 4:30-ish, and decided to call my mom before doing anything else. I mean, it's normal for me to call my parents every day, especially living so far away from home, right? And then, when I finished talking to her, I started my assignment, and I might've scrapped it a good 5-10 times because I thought I was doing it wrong, then doing it wrong, etc. I ended up making a tasteless dinner...which was like rice and scrambled eggs, just because we've got nothing in our fridge. And then I crazily went back to work and apparently have been working straight since then...I would usually never think to continue working this late...but since I finished this part of the assignment, my stress level did go down a bit! ^^" Though, then again, perhaps it's because I'm tired.

I'm going to sleep soon, but later today I have class, and then I have to do the same sort of calculations from my assignment onto my Site Engineering project along with Angela. So, hopefully, I can get her to work as much as we can to finish, because I don't think I want to go all the way to studio just to do calculations on a Saturday.

I'm also meeting Jun for lunch, and that will definitely be interesting, seeing as I actually hadn't talked to him for a good two or three weeks because he kept spazzing to me about how much supposed 'stress' he was having. And, of course, being me, I got annoyed, because I'm in the same boat, or perhaps even worse off.

Let's see..Today's the 7th, which means 3 more days till my birthday! ^^" Hm. Though of course there's so much due next week, I'm sure just the fact that my aunt's coming up no matter rain or shine (though not snow) makes me somewhat happy. Somehow, for birthdays I'd rather spend it wth family, than with friends...especially for my 19th, where as Ontarions are like "let's go drink!"...>.<" I don't want to. Plus, if I really wanted to, isn't the drinking age in Alberta 18?

November 6, 2008

Obviously, being me, I only realize now that I talked about my Wii Fit and punching bag twice in a week, consecutively. Did I mention I hate Guelph weather? What's with this seriously...3 degrees in the morning, 18 in the afternoon. Then there's the whole...it snows in Toronto and general GTA, but not in Guelph. (�„�Í�ƒ) Sure enough, I don't want snow any time soon, but we all know it's coming. This week's gone by pretty fast by itself I think, It's already Wednesday. Actually, I think in general, November is still going just as slow as October! (�„�Í�ƒ) But, for me, I think it's due to all the non-stop projects.

Arashi's Beautiful PV is quite addictive to watch...and somehow, I do find this PV to be a lot better than Happy Birthday, especially since it's not artificial. Plus, with the mood I've been in lately, this song is just perfect.

I was listening to this NEWS Winter Diamond Concert FanAudio from November 2, 2008. It had an extremely long intro and I almost thought something was wrong with the file. 0(>_<)0 And so, the first song was Happy Birthday! (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! "–¾“ú‚Í—º‚¿‚á‚ñ‚Ì‹L”O“ú�B�B�B"�@(Tomorrow's Ryo-chan's special day...) I don't know, I just found that extremely cute that Massu ad-libbed that in. �i�O�Í�O�j I've seriously leared to like Tesshi just so much the more through this. (O_O�G)Shock�I�I He's just so good live, not that I didn't know before..! Though I do love the fact that in WHY, Tesshi and Ryo sang so much english, and, they have a thick accent when they speak english, and it's just fun to listen to over and over and over again. haha.

Is it just me, or do you guys find it really amusing to listen to each and everyone of the their voices, and see how unique they are? Like, Yamapi's voice in Colorful is extremely unique, and so I can't get enough of listening to it. ARGH! I should totally not listen to anymore fancams, or I am gonna be like waiting on my computer til fancams come out. �™�Ü(�„�B�á)ƒCƒ^ƒC

I found out that, for the guy I like, who's in 5th year, and is a music major...yeah, I forgot his birthday. Though I knew it was at the beginning of November, I totally forgot to wish him a Happy Birthday. Though I did see him yesterday during ACF, and tell him. Two days late though. �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E Well, he poked me back from Sunday, so I suppose, that's a good step to something...maybe? That's wishful thinking...and really, I like it better when I don't have to worry about stuff like that.

November 5, 2008

I think, people get the wrong impression, when I try to explain things. They thing I'm being mean, blunt, etc. But in reality, I'm telling the truth, and I just want people to change. Lately actually, Angela's been annoying the hell out of me because of her irresponsibility and laziness. Sure she seems like she's working so much, but I feel as though she could put so much more effort into things, and instead she does so little. Aside from that, of course, there's times when she's studies way less that me, and still she does way better on exams than I do. At times I even help her study, and still, that is the kind of result it seems.

I don't want to say something like I feel stupid, but the more I think about it, and the more frustrated I get with stuff like this...wouldn't you feel stupid? *sigh* Currently, I'm downloading Ikebukuro West Gate Park, at least the first episode. Hopefully, it'll be worth watching. Actually, I can't wait to work full on for my new design project. Of course I'm mad because I have only 3 weeks to do it, but it's an awesome project to do, and it's really interesting, and for once finally this year, it's an individual project. In otherwords, I can bring it home! And I don't have to keep going to Angela's...and stuff like that.

You know how people say, that if you see someone everyday, there's a certain tolerance level you can keep at...or something like that? Anyways, that's how I feel. I mean, seriously, I've seen Angela like every single day since September, and I'm somewhat annoyed at her.

Lately, I haven't been able to get pictures off my camera transferred into my computer, and it seriously sucks. just because, as everyone knows, i'm a camera maniac, and usually, after I take pictures, I post them. Sure enough, my facebook almost has 100 albums. But I'm thinking, I might just buy an SD card reader, because apparently they most they cost are like $30? And to buy a new USB cord just for my camera might be hard to do and it might not work, or it might happen again.

I feel like lately, all I've been doing is spazzing about school. I need a life. XD Or just a new topic. Well, it's November 5th, which means, 5 days to my birthday, and perhaps 16 days till I get the new NEWS album Color in my hands. hahaha. ^^"

Generally speaking, I'm just overly stressed still...and it won't lessen til the school year's over. Sure enough I want people to feel bad for me because I know I have it worse off than most people. But, these days, I just don't tell anyone about my stress because especially if I'm talking to non-Landscape Architecture students, they end up trying to like fight me or spazz at me or something about how bad off they are. And, that's just as annoying to listen to as I suppose hearing me spazz.

Oh yeah, did I mention that I got a punching bag? I think it was maybe last weekend, my dad went to Superstore at around 7:30am and thought he'd have to stand in some long line because they were selling only 3 Wii-Fits. Ends up my dad went in and was the first to buy it that day, and my parents ended up shopping for groceries at the same time, getting a discount on the Wii-Fit. And so, overall, the Wii-Fit cost like...$65 or so? And then, the punching bag! I actually already have a very nice pair of punching gloves, and the wrap-py stuff that you wrap your hands with before you put the punching gloves on...I think I had them since maybe grade 7 or 8. And so a weekend or two ago, my dad found a punching bag at Winner's for like $30..and so, I really want to use both right now...Both are good destressers you know...

*sigh* Lately, I've been either studying, working, or watching a little bit of "The Best Years" at a time. Sure enoug, it's a weird show...but, it's fun for me to watch...still with so many different shots of school, and the fact that I saw two of the main actresses on campus filming last week. Though, I do laugh every time I see the UT shots.

Turning 19...is it really all that special? I mean turning 18 felt like nothing...even though I was lucky to have some sorta gathering, without trying to make some sorta party...just because it's just something I don't do. But this year...do I really want to do something? Somehow, I don't. With all the stuff I need to finish still, and all the stuff that I still need to do...*sigh* It's just overwhelming.

And if Auntie Judy still comes over though I doubt it because it's apparently, supposed to rain and snow. I'm just hoping the weather changes...because if Toronto's weather sucks, that means most likely Brantford weather sucks, which means most likely Cambridge weather sucks, which means Guelph'll probably be fine weather, and then she won't come up. Yeah, the weird way weather seems to work.

November 3, 2008

What can I say....I feel useless to my housemates. Lately...being this week and last, I've been doing literally nothing in this house when it comes to chores. I haven't cooked nor washed the dishes...and it's not really a matter of time, or not about being busy, but the fact of just not feeling like doing it. I haven't even cooked for myself in a while.

I think finally today, they finally realized how stressed and tired I've been lately. The fact that I don't want to do anything, and I keep sighing...I'm over-stressed, and for me the only way to destress, is to actually finish the things I need to do on my list. Therefore...I don't know. XD

Somehow, lately, I've just been wanting to get away from Guelph for a weekend, maybe not even a weekend..a day is enough. Honestly, it's not because I hate it, it's because I've been working straight since September when I got here, and I haven't taken a break at all..at least, not that I can remember. It's been exam after exam, and project after project. And I just want to get away from everything...that is people as well as my uni..as well as work. But of course, I'm stuck in this situation till at least December 4th. And then...I have about 5 days to just randomly chill around...since I'm leaving on a plane on the 9th. Then, I'll be home for like..a day or two...and "yay!" I get to work at Save On for a good three weeks. Yes, note the sarcasm. Cuz, apparently, I'm gonna be working from the 11th till the 22nd. And, if you think about it, it sucks...a lot.

I'm just glad I've got a new punching bag...and that new Wii Fit we got last weekend. Hopefully, I'll have time to play...I honestly just want a freakin' break from everything. I just wish I had my punching bag here, my punching gloves here....so I could actually punch something before I really have another breakdown. That is, since I technically already had a small one today, without people knowing.

I can tell people generally care that I'm in this weird state, but seriously, I don't really want people to pity me or something, I just want a hug, or a place to hide away, even more so than I do normally. If I can get maybe even a day without havingto talk to someone, without having to do anything...I think I'll be happy for a good few weeks more. XD

And so...this is a day where I should be celebrating Ryo-chan's birthday, not wallowing in sorrow and being depressed, and all emo. Lately, I've been listening to maybe...way too many Kanjani8 songs than I'm used to listening to. XD Therefore, I'm spam with a few more links to music...

This one, over all is just a really pretty song, though I admit, Subaru's voice puts me off once in a while...>.<" But the tune is extremely pretty...
Kanjani8 - Osaka Romanesque

I think overall, I just really like this song, because Uchi's still there for this song. And, he blends extremely well with Ryo's voice.
Kanjani8 - Heavenly Psycho

It's just a slow ballad...and it's rare to see one from Kanjani8...unless you seriously go searching...XD Plus, because it's really only been the first few times I've heard this song, it's quite good to me. XD
Kanjani8 - Mirai no Mukou e

Being that the first voice I heard was Ryo's was definitely a plus. The bad side to the song...was that the beat defintely made me think of a hoedown...or whatever those are called. XD But it was quite fun to listen to I suppose...
Kanjani8 - Propeller

Totally a rock song, or at least what sounds to be one. It's another song with the first voice heard being Ryo's. Yes, a definite plus. ^^"
Kanjani8 - YORIMICHI

Oh yeah, and I only found out last night, that my favorite my manga of all time - well, the one I've been reading lately, Skip Beat, is an anime! How did I not know about it before hand? It started just in October, so I've only got 4 episodes to catch up on... ^^" And then, slowly, I'm downloading Vampire Knight, because I liked te few episodes I watched, and there's a new second season - Vampire Knight Guilty.

November 2, 2008

I actually woke up today like an hour early because I always do on Sundays. Anyways, I woke up early and so I'm sitting here at my laptop. After church, I have to get to schooland help Angela make the pdfs of our projects and then put the pictures into photoshop so we can make black and white copies. I'm a little mad at her right now, because I told her to do it, and she didn't do it. Cuz, I mean seriously, it's supposed to be an easy task. *sigh* I know she's unreliable, but she always seems to do this to me.

I still have quite a bit to study. And I'm feeling overwhelmed again this week. I haven't actually really left the house or left my room for that matter all weekend. It's kinda sad, but the stuf I need to do in order to get a good enough grade. >.>" It seems these days, even if I try really hard to study, I can only do "good enough". SOmetimes I feel my eforts are useless because people that study for an hour even get better grades than me. *sigh* But, that's life I suppose.

A few days ago, I found out that currently, I'm sitting on a 68% average. That's not good. XD Though I know that if I get a 50% I'm screwed over and I'd have to go back home, and if I don't get a 70% by the end of the next semester, I'm totally screwed over for my third year plans - being that I want to stay in Edmonton after my Christmas vacation and find an internship. Actually, being that my average is a 68%, it's actually not as bad as I thought it'd be to get there I suppose. I just need to do fairly well on this semester and next, and hopefully, I can keep at this pace? Apparently, it's either 70% for all semesters leading up to the internship, or a 75% for the two semesters before the internship. That's why I've been feeling like I'm so screwed lately. XD

Oh yeah, and Monday's filled with going to this Turf Grass Institute and analyzing the site, and then working on our project like crazy! Luckily, we have Virginie in our group, and apparently, she knows what she's doing with CAD and it shouldn't take her too long to create if she's with us. But, I still feel like we still have so much to do...only because we can't work on it today.

October 27, 2008

It's getting closer and closer to my birthday...but I've learned to stop caring...Of course I'm happy when people give me gifts, because it's rare that that happens to me in the first place. The other day, when I was at the mall with Angela, she actually asked me what I wanted - either jeans or a bag. Well, for me that's a hard decision. And either way, I don't want her to spend that much money on me. I mean...I don't even spend that much money on her. I was expecting her to maybe spend $10 tops on maybe a set of earrings. XD

Auntie Judy's coming up the 11th to take me out to lunch. Apparently we're going to Cambridge so she can bring me to some sushi place. And, she said it was fine if I brought Angela along, so at least I won't be completely alone with her. XD And, at least Angela didn't get creeped out. Though, I suppose she shouldn't be?

Anywho, lately, I've been working like crazy on projects again...I'll probably end up sleeping over at Angela's tomorrow because we're so screwed for time. And then the morning after, we have to walk to some place so we can get to the site we're supposed to meet at for my class. And so...*sigh* everything's just feeling a little rotten. XD But hopefully, it'll all be fine once my birthday comes around? Well, in terms of things settling down a bit. I just want a break.

Oh yeah, did I mention? I have a Site Engineering midterm tomorrow? Won't that be fun? >.<" I'm not even done studying yet, and I really need to hurry or I won't get enough sleep and I'll miss my bus again. XD Laterz!

October 23, 2008

So yeah...yesterday was a fun-filled day...of lugging my laptop around, and being in studio pretty much the whole day. First was the Landscape Analysis midterm which wasn't actually as bad as I thought it'd be, but then again, I might not have answered the questions efficiently enough. And then afterwords, me and Angela went to studio and worked till about 12-ish on the Peace Ranch project. After our two profs gave us desk crits during class, we worked hard on redoing the writing for our goals and objectives. Afterwards, 4:30, Quach calls, and I go to the UC to meet him, and then we go to the library where his friend helps me fix my computer! Yeah, apparently, uninstalling Norton Antivirus was all that was necessary, instead of doing all this random stuff people were telling me to do...which is weird.

Today, was spent going to school early, and then going to Site Eng class. We got our grades back for our models and individual assignments, and wa-lah! >.<" Somehow, the group that copied our idea did better than us. And so, me and Angela were trying to talk to our prof about how he graded us unfairly. And ultimately the result was me crying, Angela trying to comfort me, and him saying, "I don't know what I should do." *sigh* Obviously, if he stayed any longer, I might've actually hurt him. He's lucky, I don't hit people very often. >.>"

After that, we worked for a bit fixing our old drawing for our model because he said later there'd be a resubmission for one of the projects. So...we're going to resubmit this one. Then, I kinda went crazy and started the Site Inventory and Analysis, about 6 pages long of maps. Angela still needs to finish them, and further refine them, but overall, we're pretty much done with the whole fixing up of Site Inventory and Analysis and Concept Development. And now, we just need to finish the Final Submission, and hopefully get it done soon.

Sadly enough, we still have a Site Eng mid-term quiz coming up this Tuesday, and I'm still so not ready for it. *sigh* Apparently, someone in our house downloaded too much, and no, it's not me. I mean, come on, I was internet-less for a good week. >.<" Plus, Mike told me that he got the 75% usage thing before he left, which was a week before I lost internet. Therefore, it's not my fault. XD But, it's sad. So, most likely, I'll bring my laptop to school tomorrow...and I can use the internet for a bit while I'm there and perhaps stay there for a bit? At least, download the stuff I need and then be like...whatever, and study. haha.

Oh yeah! I went to the mall with Angela and Vanessa after our plant walk today. It was quite fun, I admit. I bought like tights that were striped. XD And then...I didn't realize how much I liked Bath and Body Works. They just opened them across Canada maybe last week? But, yeah, they were having a sale, and so me and Angela split the price. ^^" It's all good. But, anywho, I need to get back to studying, so later!

October 18, 2008

Yeah, it's late, or should I say early? I should be finishing off my studying for my plants and analysis exams, but it's soo late to get anything else maintained into my skull. >.<" So, I've been watching random episodes of new j-dramas, yes, the ones I downloaded only just a few hours ago, and reading random fanfics.

I took a shower around 9, and then that's when I realized I had a bump on my knee. I'd forgotten, that on the walk yesterday, we had to jump a fence. No, really, her - my prof's exact words were "let's hop the fence over there." I banged my knee a little, and my friend like fell in a scary manner, but she was fine, apparently.

Oh yeah, and then after that, was a bit more studying, and then, I actually ended up brushing my teeth in the bathroom and found a spider crawling on the wall. So, I quickly grabbed something to squish it with. That's when I realized, the basement's kind of dusty. >.<" No wonder there's spiders crawling about. Anywho...I decided to pull out my trusty duster, and hopefully, the few spiderwebs around my room and dust would be disposed of. Instead, I knocked a spider unconscious, and actually could hear the squishing of the spider when I got a tissue to do it. It was...kinda freaky to be honest. XD And so, now I've got a really weird chilly kind of feeling. >.<"

October 17, 2008

I find that the weirdest thing...I have MSN, my Windows sidebar shows me the weather. But when I try to access internet explorer at home (or even firefox for that matter), it gives me an error page.

I think it started yesterday morning, and I'm still not exactly sure why. At first I thought i had a virus, and then it was me thinking perhaps it was just internet explorer, so I made the IT person at the library to install Firefox for me. Next thing you know, I thought, maybe it was just internet, and let's just click diagnose, and it should resolve it...

Yeah, that didn't work. I ended up malling with Vanessa, finding some schweet high tops for $10, and then going back to my house to make lunch, and then go to Vanessa's to study and watch a movie, eat dinner, and then study a teensy bit more. I got home around 8:30-ish, studied till 11:30....without knowing it was so late!

Today, was having fun being woken up by Jon's alarm clock, and then leaving the house at 7:35. It was kind of a rush, because his alarm went off at 7:15. >.<" Anywho, I wore my high tops, and went to school, bought breakfast. Went for a walk in swampy wetlands this morning till about 10:30-ish, and then going to studio to work on the concept project with Angela for a good 2 hours till we were hungry. Vince came, and then we went to the UC to eat...

I bumped into Ian...well, more like Ian stood behind me and started talking to me, and I totally freaked out. XD But, he tends to do that to me, it seems. ^^" He's the only one in our house, that I think I see more at school than I do at home. Scary. haha. Then, I went to eat with Angela and Vince, and me and Angela went back to studio to finish are project...which we technically still aren't done with, but whatever. And then...we went to the library and she was watching a canto-drama, and I was randomly downloading dramas. So many new dramas started this week/last week. And, it's a pain that I can't freakin' download them because of my stupid internet. *sigh* I won't even be able to read comments to this till I get back to school and check it, perhaps tomorrow? XD

So, yeah, right now, after studying a bit more for plants, and remembering all the plants for week 5&6 - their botanical names and common names, I've officially given up for the "afternoon"...which means I'll probably study later tonight when i get back home. haha. But, I'm waiting for a good quality of Ryusei no Kizuna..because I've been looking forward to watching the first ep for a good....few weeks. >.<" Though...I have a feeling, I'll probably keep the LQ I already downloaded, and end up coming back to school tomorrow to download it XD, that is, since I'll probably be at school again, since I'm still internet-less...

October 12, 2008

Because I was bored today, this is the outcome: Kis-My-Ft2 - Smile

Anywho, I talked to my dad today, and told him about how I wanted to buy a CD online again, and he seemed really okay with it..which I find kinda strange. I feel spoiled. (-�l-)‚²‚ß‚ñ‚您‚§ My dad's like, I know how hard you're working with school, so as long as you keep that up, I don't really mind what you buy. And, that's when I felt guilty and told him that even if I try really hard, sometimes it doesn't show. And, he still understood what I meant.

Since a few days ago, my dad went to Costco and bought Mario Kart for Kim, I think, for her birthday present, so then dad told me that I could buy the CD for my birthday also. (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! Therefore, November 19th is the release date for color and at the same time, I'm buying the LE for Happy Birthday. And so, 'Happy Birthday to me.' Though, I did find it weird, that an older single cost more than the newer one. �i0„t0�j�@‚¦‚Á�I�I

Oh yeah, and Ian and Jon came back today. I was somewhat surprised, because I wasn't expecting them to come back till like....Tuesday. XD But it's nice to have someone in the house while I'm around again, at night...otherwise, it does get a little creepy...(�†„t�…)É

Apparently, I was being accused of flirting with Angela's boyfriend...that is, Mr.CNS said that. I don't know, if I was, I wasn't doing it on purpose, cuz I've got no interest in him whatsoever...and never really put thought to it. Though, I do envy what both of them have, their relationship and what not. That should be all for now. Thanksgiving dinner was pretty much what we had tonight...Ian's family's leftovers. �i�P〜�P;�jƒE�[ƒ“�E�E�Ebut it was good nonetheless. I'm getting sleepy..(�Q �Q)�D�Bo�› ƒlƒ€ƒlƒ€...so, later!

When one tells me that they're not Christian anymore, I tell, them it's fine, just act normally around me then. And then he's happy that I've said it's fine. But he wants me to lie for him too because he doesn't want the other ACF people to know that, since he was a bible study leader for two years, or something. Next thing you know, he keeps thinking I'm acting differently, and meaner.

Sure enough, I think the only reason for that is because I've become busier, and I've no real time for that is because I've become busier, and I've no real time to talk that is because I've become busier, and I've no real time to talk to him. And when I do have time, it's when I'm half working, and so I just want it's when I'm half working, and so I just want to finish my work instead of talking to him. So, he catches me at a bad time.�@

Today, he told me about how his friend from jr.high - gr.8 to be exact contacted him after so long ago, and they're hanging out together on Saturday. So, I'm like, I wish I had friends like that back then, that would act like that. And, he tells me, that no one likes you, and no one really is your friend. Or something along those lines, and I'm starting to get really mad at him...Even if you're joking, that's really not something to joke about. Especially since gr.9, was when all I spazzed about was the fact that I didn't have any friends at the beginning of the year...and then the whole Michele problem.

So, yes, right now, I'm quite mad at him, whether he knows it or not. Cuz, if he knew me well enough, where as, he should, he would realize, that friends are important to me...and it's just not something to joke about...especially not with me.


We took this on our plant walk today, plus it was extremely nice today. So, I just had to get us to take a picture! ^^"

October 9, 2008

OMG! Yes, another rant, at 8:30 in the morning. (�„�Í�ƒ) I just found out today, that NEWS is coming out with a new album. And, it's coming out right around my birthday. er...Happy Birthday to me? �_(�Ü�¤�Ü)�^

Anywho...like always I'm debating which one to buy, the LE or the RE. *sigh* And with that, it means...if I buy one, I'll need to buy something else just to get my free shipping (since it's use $39+ and get free shipping). The cd itself should be around $28. 0(>_<)0 I'm going broke again, ne? Maybe, I'll get their Happy Birthday single then. �i�O��O�j

I would've said, let's buy Never Ending Wonderful Story DVD...�E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E But it's mad expensive. And I still haven't found a version that'd be able to play in my own dvd player. Though I wish someone would sell one of those. haha.

So, as per usual, the LE has the 32-page booklet! (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! and the RE has 16-pages. But, the RE has one of my favorite songs from them, Towairo no Koi which is a song from way back when...�¿(�L�Í�M)�¿ And of course, SNOW EXPRESS is finally on a CD! But...ƒÃ=(�P¡�P;)Ì©...perhaps, I'll actually make a decision closer to the date, when I can see the album covers. haha. Ah~ And I just realized, the album release is just a bit before their winter tour. I want to go!

The Tracklisting:
M1�Fweeeek
M2�FSTARDUST
M3�FSUMMER TIME
M4�FSNOW EXPRESS
M5�FForever
M6�FSexy Lady
M7�FKESENAI
M8�Fordinary
M9�FMinna ga iru sekai wo hitotsu ni ai wo motto GIVE & TAKE shimasho
M10�FMURARISUTO
M11�FTaiyou no Namida
M12�FSmile Maker
M13�FHappy Birthday
M14�FFLY AGAIN
M15�FTowairo no Koi �ƒBonus Track�„

I find it somewhat weird, that this album's called color, since only a few months ago, I was thinking only about the word color and writing it in a poem took forever. haha, OK, that was random.

October 8, 2008

Apparently, I ended up talking to a friend about my personality now being pretty blunt and truthful all the time, and him telling me it's a bad thing? Is being blunt a bad thing? I find it...that it gives me a confidence boost.

Today, I got to school around 8:05, and then got to studio to find Angela and get the AutoCAD drawings that we made. We handed our project in on time. After class, we went to the UC waited till 11-ish to eat lunch, and then finished eating lunch and went back to studio thinking it was 1pm. Instead, it was actually only 12. I ended up printing out my music final, and working on that until class came around.

1:30 reached, and then, we had to sit there for a good 3 hours for the presentations until it was our turn. We had a pretty interesting topic: Animal Therapy. Okay, so maybe not so interesting, but by the time it was our turn, most of the class was already gone. I'm just glad our profs liked it and said we did a good job at the end...and then when we went back to our seats, people were telling us we did good. So, I was pretty amazed, because that's never happened to me before. So, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the grade I got for that. �S(�O�Þ�O)

So, that's a definite confidence boost, after the plants exam I had yesterday, whih I think I failed. haha.

Anywho, the new to do list:
- Design Inventory due Wednesday (finishing the poster)
- Site Eng Project due Thursday (making a drawing, and model)
- Design Concept due Oct.20 (rough ideas of designs for Peace Ranch)
- Plants exam on Oct.21
- Landscape Analysis midterm on Oct.22
- Site Eng midterm quiz on Oct.23
- Final Design Presentation due Oct.29 (actual color drawing of the design)

So, yes, the rest of October for me in a nutshell. I feel like half of October is over, though I know it's just begun. Then again, it's not helping, when my friend keeps spazzing at me, telling me he has so much to do, and just wants to hear me tell him that yes, he has a lot of stuff he needs to finish too...and then him randomly wanting to listen in on my presentations? Okay, I don't find it weird or anything. It's just something a normal person wouldn't do - randomly go to a friend's presentation just to see how hard-working a person is...

In general, one should be able to tell those sort of things, just from talking to a person, or knowing how busy that person is. Obviously, a person who doesn't go out, because she says she's busy studying, or doing projects means she's hard-working, does it not? I spend most of my time with Angela and Vanessa these days, but that's because our group projects make it that way. I don't really have time to see other people out of LA these days because of these strict deadlines.

Anywho, Thanksgiving is going to be a lonely Thanksgiving...seeing as I'm going to be staying in Guelph and not going to Danny's like what I did last year. And apparently people are like, surprised because I'm not going back or forcing myself to go back? I don't like being a burden on people. And so, if I don't need to be, and I can be home, why not, right?

Anyways, I reallly need some sleep, since I slept so late last night from staying up to finish writing our AutoCAD report up. So, sorry for my ranting again. haha. Eh...it seems you can tell when I'm trying to be serious, and when I'm just BSing an update...my lack of emoticons.

October 6, 2008

�S(*�†�Þ�…) I'm still debating whether I'm going to skip my lab tomorrow to study some more, or what...I mean, generally speaking, I don't need to study anymore, and I'm beyond ready for the exam. Thursday though, for the other lab time...is my other option, and it's supposed to rain that day. 0(>_<)0 So, I'm not sure whether I really want to skip out tomorrow. ƒÃ=(�P¡�P;)Ì©

Last night, I decided to see what was up with the filming going on campus in September. Turns out, they were filming for a Canadian show - The Best Years for the campus shots of a fictional university- "Charles University". It's quite exciting to see so many shots of University of Guelph in this series. (O_O�G)Shock�I�I Anywho, I've been trying to download all the episodes, and since I'm downloading off of sendspace, it's being nice and slow, and I'm only on episode 4. ¡�Fß(¡ÉƒÖ�_¡)ߥ¡

Today, I got to school around 11, and I went to studio and pretty much played around on my computer, then got lunch around 12, then went to the library with Angela and Vanessa, skipping out on class which was presentations today. We ended up working on the rest of our research powerpoint, and so hopefully, it'll be finished by tonight. And then, me and Vanessa went back to the LA building and worked on our Analysis project and spazzed for a few minutes because we couldn't figure things out. We went back up to look at the printed papers, and found out that we did do it right, and colored them. And, now I'm thinking we might've did it wrong, and have to redo it, but...at least it's mostly done.

And, that's all for today's NEWS. ~~~�S(�O�Þ�O) Sorry for making things so short.

October 4, 2008

AH...0(>_<)0 The fun-filled week is just about to begin. Sure, I'm spazzing, but what kind of Asian keener wouldn't? Honestly, Angela seems to be putting effort into things in our group projects, only when I'm with her. While, when I'm with her, it seems I put no effort in. (�„�Í�ƒ) I guess it equals out but, it's just not looking good.

Yesterday, after Landscape Analysis class, we started working on the AutoCad project, and got all the drawings and stuff done. Unfortunately, we still have a bit left for the project to be considered complete, which is the extensive writing portion. And, believe it or not, this project's due Wednesday! Should I not be spazzing?

For the Animal Therapy presentation, I still know nothing. Two words: I'm screwed! ƒÃ=(�P¡�P;)Ì© I guess that'll be what today is for...me trying my best to finish studying, and then trying to research a bit. o(>ƒÖ<)o Why can't life give me a break...

Apparently, right now, the cleaning lady's here to clean the house...and she likes to make lots of noise. haha. So, in the midst of studying there's like doors closing and sweeping, and vacuuming...¡�Fß(¡ÉƒÖ�_¡)ߥ¡ Also, someone told me that I'm getting meaner lately. But, to be honest, I think I've always been like that, and people just don't realize it at first when they get to know me. Anywho, that's really it, for now at least. I just needed to update..haha.

Over-thinking things is generally a bad quality of mine. As of today officially, waiting for J to do something, or whatever we should call it, is in a "whatever" state. I don't particularly care if he thinks I'm cute, though I'm happy someone voiced it? XD That's honestly all I can say.

Yup, we were on our plant walk today. And, yes...Angela seems to always be by my side...like all the time. XD There doesn't seem to be anything she doesn't know..that happens in my life. haha. Anywho, I was telling her about how he friended me on facebook, and...that's probably what he did wrong. If he hadn't done that, I wouldn't have seen all those random pictures of him drinking last year, and the fact that he posted a video from a kegger that he told me he didn't want to go to.

So, yes, I've officially made myself go back to normalcy in terms of boyfriends. No guys till everything is done . That's quite vague, ne?

Yup, a fun-filled week coming ahead it seems.
I'm going to write a little note myself, checklist, ne?:
-study for plants exam (Tues)
-Research for Animal Therapy preparations and presentation (Wed)
-Analysis - Problem #1 AutoCAD drawings (Wed)
-Peace Ranch Site Inventory (Fri)

I ended up getting home around 11, cooking lunch, calling my dad, and then at around 1:40 took the bus back to school for my 2:30 lab. Exciting. XD Then, right after, I was starving! So, me and Angela went to eat, and then I sat in the library for a good two hours or so working on our Peace Ranch Site Inventory & Analysis.

Mmmhm....well, it's just overall been a long day. Luckily, tomorrow, I'm skipping out on ACF since they're doing a prayer walk. So, I'll be done around...4:30! Most likely, Ian and Jon'll go to ACF, and so I get to cook early again...and yeah, I suppose that's really all I have to say. haha. Laterz!

Well, I feel like I can do things when I try... This weekend, Jon and Ian ended up going to ACF retreat, and came back this morning..or afternoon. Mike went to Toronto sometime Friday morning, and so I was left by myself for the weekend. No, it wasn't a bad thing. There's always good things to an empty house.

Though it may seem lonely, it was actually quite a bit of fun...that is besides for the whole blasting of my music, and singing rather loudly. XD Friday night was leftover curry. Saturday was toast day, and more left over curry, and I made broccoli..haha. I ended up randomly going to Zehr's to buy some milk and butter, and chips because, we had none. And night time was spent trying to finish chapter 3 of my Site Eng text, and hopefully tonight is finishing chapter 4.

Today, I woke up around 8, and decided to make a bento. So, I made some egg while I made the rice. Microwaved the leftover broccoli, and made toast and put out cereal at the same time. ^^" I had so much time, even after finishing making my bento, and eating breakfast. 9:25, I waited at the bus stop, and ended up skiping out on church, and catching the first bus from my house (9:35), and getting to school at around 10.

I got to the LA building and went to our studio, called Angela, who told me she wouldn't come till 11. So, I started working on redrawing stuff first. At 11 she came, and brought me hot chocolate. ^^" A little after, Anitha came, and she finished what I was doing. I ended up eating lunch around 12 - the one that I made. While Anitha finished what I was doing, Angela and I ended up getting vellum, and drawing in a title block. Around 3-ish, Pojing and Aisha came...well, let's just put it this way, I left at like 4:45, and let them finish the rest. So, apparently they finished, so I'm happy. Like, seriously, that was like 7 hours in studio! >.<" I'm never doing that again. haha.

Mmm..I suppose that's it? OH! Yesterday, I realized why I used to like Ayumi Hamasaki so much. XD Her old stuff is way better than her new stuff though..like, To Be, A Song for XX, and End Roll are the only ones I like so far, from what I remember. And, still those are the only songs I like, beacuse they sound good even in piano/intstrumental form. Anywho, I have a busy week ahead of me. Later!

September 22, 2008

It's only the beginning of the new school year, and already I've bought something online. haha. So...I was randomly looking through the NEWS LJ comm again, and someone subbed a Shounen Club episode. Somehow, I found my way to someone selling JE stuff (which always seems to happen to me), and I though I'd just take a look...probably won't buy anything. It was all like magazine clippings, and posters.

Anywho, I keep scrolling down the page, and something caught my eye. China version of Live of KAT-TUN "Real Face"...which is pretty much the concert tour DVD version of "Real Face", KAT-TUN's concert after their debut? ...maybe? I'm not sure. haha, and they were only selling it for $10 US! I thought, maybe it was because it's a China version...but, in reality, concert DVDs are so freakin' expensive...that a China version doesn't really make a difference, since it's only missing a booklet. I looked on ebay, yesasia...all those places I usually look to find it, and the only thing that popped up was the Japanese version, for like $60?...and it wouldn't even be able to play in my DVD player since it's region-2. The China version, is all regions. ^^"

And so, here's the pictures:


Today, I ended up going to Peace Ranch, this like therapeutic farm for schizos and people with mental disorders. Mmhmm...we pretty much have to not redesign it, but evaluate the site, and figure out what we can do to make the area more functional for its uses. And, it was hilarious, because we were near some horses, and Angela wanted to pet one. There was like, a half-eaten apple in her bag (on the outside of it, so it's visible), and next thing you know, the horse won't leave her, and starts to want to chew her bag. XD We've got pictures of that too. haha.

Anyways, I need to go back to cramming like crazy for my plants exam tomorrow. And, probably to get some dinner sometime soon. haha.

September 21, 2008

Ever have weird thoughts...and then you can't sleep? Okay, maybe weird thoughts, was the wrong phrase. More like...you think about things too hard, and then you can't fall asleep. ^^" That's what happened to me last night.

I got a call from Angela around 4-ish, and she told me they were having hotpot and they invited me over. So, I decided I would go, because I thought Ian was having a family moment, and would probably have dinner with them, and so I didn't really want to intrude. So, I left the house around 5:55 in hopes of catching the 6:05 bus. But instead, I stood at the bus stop until 6:35, and get to school around 7. I called Angela to tell her I'd be a little late, because I wanted to go to the library to print something out first.

So, I did all that, walked to the townhouses, and knocked on Vince's door. Maybe I knocked too softly? I don't know, but nobody picked up. So, I called Angela again, and she told m Vince would open the door for me in a few minutes. So, I came in, and we started getting ready for hotpot. There was four of us - me, Vince, Angela, Jeff - Vince's housemate, who's also in his program. Anyways, Vince asks Angela to go with him to throw the trash out, and me and Jeff are left alone. He asks, if I was in the same program as Angela, and said he thought I was in first year.

Anywho, than it was kinda silent for a bit, because I had nothing to say to him, upon talking to him for the first time, though not meeting him for the first time. So then, they make the base for the broth of the hotpot, and ask how spicy I can eat. Which...in reality, I can't really eat any...Then, we officially start eating and the clutz I am, I get soya sauce on me, just a bit, which, when that happened I kinda went 'wah'....haha. And they're like, 'what's wrong?' I'm like...'it's okay, i just need to go cleaning later.' (^.^)b ‚Å‚µ‚傤�I�H



Half way through me eating, Jeff's like, "I saw the mild version of the base today, we should've bought that one instead." And then...when I started getting full, and the rest of them were still eating, I went upstairs to the bathroom to get to washing a bit. I came back down, and watched them eat for a bit longer, and then like 30 minutes later, they finish eating. It was already like, 10-ish or so. So, they're like, 'do you want to watch a movie?' That's what ended up happening, and I ended up staying over at Angela's townhouse which was like, two steps away from Vince's. haha.

So, once we got back to Angela's, and got ready for bed and in bed, Angela's like, 'tell me a story about Jon'. I'm like...'I don't have a story about him'. 0(>_<)0 And so, she tells me that when I went to the bathroom, Jeff was talking about me at the table. Yes, he's like, 'Katherine doesn't eat very much, does she...' And, apparently, he told Vince I was cute, and asked whether or not I was single. haha. And Angela's like, 'I was telling him how you like someone already'. Though, then not soon after, she's says 'but, Jeff's 22, and Vince is like, they'd be a good couple because their heights are perfect for each other.

I only realized the other day, when someone pointed it out to me, that I speak in two voices. haha, reminds me of Mrs.Doubtfire, just a little. Anywho, Jun tells me he noticed that whenever I say to someone 'hi', I say it in a girly voice. There's that voice, and then the normal one, and he somehow told me he liked my girly one more. *shrugz* I was pointing it out to Angela last night, and she's like 'yeah, I noticed that. That might be one of the reasons he likes you'. �H�HƒGƒG´´ƒFƒFªªª�R(ß„Dß;)ÉÞªªƒFƒF´´ƒGƒG�H�H

Anywho, I'm sorry for being boring...I've got nothing to say lately. XD All I've been doing is doing group projects, and studying....and pretty much the repetitive cycle.

September 18, 2008

It's been a while since I've updated. Unfortunately, I've just been extremely busy with the start of school and moving in and stuff like that, and I believe this'll continue on throughout the year - the sparse updates...like once a week. Last week was stressful, I believe I mentioned, because of the group project for the LA design class. At first, it was fun, because we were in a group with friends. Somehow, now, I feel like I can't relate to them, or I keep seeing this bad side of them, that I can't stop looking at.

Pojing - tall, from mainland China. speaks broken english, needs everything explained to her, asks random questions, says things that don't make sense, assumes people will understand her.

Aisha - from mainland china, speaks better english, yet still broken

Actually, I'm not as mad at Aisha as I am at Pojing. For our group project, she led us off course, telling everyone that emergency access meant emergency poles. Though, of course, I was trying to convince everyone that in reality, it's supposed to be the way people get in and out. *sigh* Anywho, we wasted like two days because of that, until people finally started listening to me. Than, we worked on a rainy Saturday to start the write-up, and Angela wrote most of the Site Inventory, me the comparison and then we decided to call it a day.

Sunday, I realized we seriously wern't getting anywhere. So, I decided to get everybody to do something. I finished the building standards paragraph, and Aisha wrote the conclusion. Tuesday was spent taking pictures, mostly me...and me complaining to Angela that Pojing did nothing, and her equally saying the same thing.

Monday night was spent editing and all that with me and Angela. Angela ended up printing the thing out on Tuesday, and ta-dah, a complete project...not really. Then, comes the presentation part. In general, we're equally pissed that she's all, should we draw a map of campus? We're like, "you can do it." assuming that it'd take longer than a day, and then she's like "oh, nevermind." *sigh*

So, we ended up taking our written project into powerpoint, and using it for our presentation. I purposely gave everyone something to say, Angela - the site inventory, Aisha - the introduction and conclusion, Pojing - comparison/analysis, and me - building standards. In general, I think it was extremely bad...Aisha was fine at the beginning, and Angela was fine too. But, once it came to Pojing's part, I was like, "what the hell is she talking about?" Nobody could evn hear her over her thick english accent. *sigh* And so, once it came to my part, because she talked for like...5 minutes, the prof looked at me and said, 2 minutes. *sigh* So...I said my part, short and sweet, and we concluded. But gawd, I told her not to say too much, and I told her not to say everything, and she did exactly that. I knew this was gonna happen...

Anywho, me and Angela have pretty much decided, that anymore group projects, especially ones that have to be dealt with presentations will not include us with them anymore. Our next project, which is going to Peace Ranch and doing research and redesigning for the specific uses, we totally cut them out to work alone. We can't keep spending or time trying to explain to them what things mean. After a while, even if not purposely, it does get extremely annoying.

Anywho, now, I'm studying like crazy for my Woody Plants exam on Tuesday. I mean...looking at a leaf, and knowing what the tree name is, and the latin name for it? and the conditions needed for it to grow...and if it can be grown in certain areas...*sigh* Let's hope I make it.

My only hope this week, is actually watching NEWS - Pacific concert, again. haha. I think it's keeping me sane, and not so like...grrrrr...though then again, most of the week is over. I'm still debating whether I'll be going to church on Sunday or not if I can't get my terms done. And OMG! I have a surveying project for my site engineering class. >.<" Guess who's group I'm in? You know, you'd think that, if you pick your own groups...well, things wouldn't turn out this way. But, indeed, I'm with them two, Angela, Vanessa, and Anitah. And, we're working tomorrow morning, as well as Monday morning. Today's class was spent making the grid on the area we're supposed to survey. A total waste of my time to be there.

Anywho, we left early, and went to book the equipment for tomorrow and Monday. Once that was done, I went home, and then got a call from Aisha saying she was with Pojing in the LA office right now. I told her I already booked the equipment and she didn't have to worry about it. The problem was, that the equipment check-out time is at 9:30 to 12:15 or 1:15 to 4:15. Tomorrow, we have a class at 8:30 till 10:30, and so, they were spazzing saying, we can't get the equipment cause we'll be in the Arboretum for class. Angela, Vanessa, and Anitah were planning to skip the class and just do the surveying because all we'd do is go to the Arboretum to see the "Native trees of Canada" section which is what we saw on Wednesday, with tags. And, so, I could hear Pojing spazzing on the phone, though Aisha was the one talking to me. So, they tell me, they changed the time of pick-up to 10:30, because I told them the afternoon timeslot is bad because Vanessa has to be in London at 2. And then they're like, then 10:30 is fine. But, no it isn't, because Anitah is new, and therefore we can't contact to tell her to come at a different time or what not. And, finally they understood me, with my somewhat mad tone, and changed it back to 9:30.

I'm...getting less tolerant, I suppose. And, because of it, and my lack of updates, my updates are getting so freakin' long! I'll stop now. haha. laterz!

September 13, 2008

You know it's bad when...you've just started school a week ago, and you're already stressed.

I've pretty much figured out my stress problems from last post. I decided on me continuously looking for an internship. It'll be the easiest thing to do, cuz I can always go to Japan for 4 months once I get into UBC for my masters. Though, today starts all the new stress.

I read my UofG email this morning, and my Introduction to Musicianship DE prof tells us to go to her site, register, and then download this recording program. I do all the steps, yet for me, the program just won't open. *sigh* I'm screwed. So, the whole day, I've been pretty much spazzing about how I can't get it to work, which, I still can't. So, I have to wait till Monday at least, to bring in my laptop to school to ask the CSS people to see if they know what's wrong, since my prof decided not to reply to emails after she emailed out herself. And then, when asking my dad to try it on his end, and his works...things just get so much more stressful when talking to my dad.

Lately, I've been translating a lot. My record is this week's: 7 pages in two days. Usually, it takes me a week or so to finish. When I'm not thinking about school, I'm not stressed. I even did a bit of cooking today, which was pretty impressive, to myself at least.

Jon called me when I was on the bus, and so I couldn't answer my phone. Luckily, I was getting homne at that time, and he wanted to ask me if I was gonna be eating dinner or not. He started doing a bit of stuff in the kitchen, and I asked him if he needed help, and he said he needed lots of help. XD So, I ended up boiling the shrimp and spaghetti. So, the result...I can actually boil water now. XD *sigh* Now, back to the stress. haha.
Posted at 11:49PM

September 10, 2008

Lately, I've just been kinda lost as to where I am. Not as in location-wise, but as in...what I want to do with my life. I'm sure it's a point where everyone spends quite a time thinking about. Do I really want to be in LA? What do I in general, wand to do with the rest of my life...

Stress is overtaking me a lot these days. And, the past week, since I got back to Guelph, the stress of trying to find an internship for 3rd year, 2nd semester is getting to me. People are telling me stuff like, there's still plenty of time. There isn't. So, what I started to do was research universities in Japan that had my program, exchanges, etc. Chiba University was the only one that replied with a nice response. XD And, so, now I'm debating whether I'll continue on with trying to find an internship, or maybe go study abroad? The only problem with the study abroad is that that exchange is for students interested in the Japanese culture, even though there are two design courses throughout the year. As well, it's a year long, which means the program lasts from October 2009- August 2010. It definitely has its perks...and I can get the experience I need....and perhaps more ideas? I don't know. But I feel like half of me wants me to go, and the other half thinks I should really just continue trying to find something to work at in the general western Canada area. *sigh*

I'm not one that can deal with stress very easily. And, so, if one thing is plaguing me, everyone can tell, and it effects everything I do. I can't help it. And so, I'm trying my best to just solve this problem. I didn't even have lunch today...not really anyways...that is, if a banana counts as a lunch? I wasn't all that hungry...though I doubt its because of the stress. It's all the food I've been eating lately. Apparently, I'd spent about $60-70 on the first week using my meal plan. Generally, it's not a good sign...that I used that much so quickly. *sigh*...that's pretty much it, I think.

I'm also debating whether or not I want to go to this first year LA party on Friday...because people keep asking me. But the whole thing will probably be centered around another round of initiation, other from dying their thumbs green, and then drinking games to fill the night. *sigh* Do I really want to go? I don't know. >.<" We'll see how things work out I suppose. Laterz

September 7, 2008

Not much to say today...I did end up waking up at 8:30 to take the 9:35 bus to school, and then waiting for the Crestwicke bus to come at 10:10. We went to church, and then came back just now. It's kinda late today, it seems. There's a new bus driver, and so we were late to church, and pretty late coming back. *sigh*

Lately, I've been reading Twilight...yes, that vampire romance story everyone seems to be hyped about, especially since news of the release of a movie coming this December. To be honest...at least the first one, is really good. I'm honestly extremely impressed with how well written it is, because it's almost like the same way Meg Cabot writes her books, well, at least for All-American Girl. And, finally, I'm back to reading again. ^^"

I think Tiff's mad at Ian or something...because she's avoiding us on the bus, at church, and even on the way back. And, so...awkward bus ride there. haha. But, that's alright. Things between them will probably be fixed in the next few days, because they always seem to.

And so, the short update, because I didn't really do much...haha.
Posted at 1:20PM

September 5, 2008

This morning, I woke up at 6:45 and took the bus with Ian to get to class at 8:30. The prof was pretty cool, even though he talked mostly about himself also. He was a lot more interesting than my Site Engineering prof...though both courses seem equally tough.

After class, me and Pojing went to get our student ID cards activated for the LA building. They changed the building key to a swipe card system, and so, we got money back. We had to go to the UC 4th level to get our money back, and then went to the 3rd floor to drop off her work study form. Afterwards, we went to the basement to get the bus sticker...and it was a real improvement compared to yesterday. There was no line! XD

Then, we went to the library so Pojing could print off her class schedule. We bumped into Danielle there, and she told us about how someone in our class bought the Landscape Analysis required text for like $90 at the bookstore. And, I was telling her about how the Co-op bookstore had them for only $70. So, after we got the schedules printed, we went to the Co-op bookstore to buy some books. Me and Pojing were "fighting" over who'd pay with their credit card. Cuz, I wanted to use mine so that I'd have money to pay my rent...long story. Anywho, I ended up buying all the books and she'd pay me back. We bought them together because we bought the bookstore card together, and that'd be the only way we get the discount.

I got back home around 12:30-ish, and then realized, I'm screwed if I don't get a copy of AutoCAD soon. Somehow, my friend told me to bittorrent it and I was getting nothing. Then I went searching and searching and searching, and I finally found it. Now, officially, at 10:45, I have the official AutoCAD 2009 program. I'm pleased with myself. haha...even if it was a pain to find and download. At least I won't have to go through the process of doing that again. I mean...seriously...it was like 23 files, which became 1 = about 1.5GB. And it was an iso file, so I had to burn it to even get the files.

*sigh* SO, I try finding a DVD so that I can burn it, and I find two, which apparently I've already used so it wouldn't work. I walk up to Ian's room, and ask him and "ta-dah!!!!" he had one. XD So, I took it, burned it...and now I've got a copy. Then installing was a pain, because there was an error when installing from the disc. Apparently, I had to copy and paste all the files into a folder into the C drive to make it install without error. And, it worked fine. Then, once you open the program, it asks you for an activation code, which is why a keygen is given with the copy. So...I kept pressing the button over and over, because it kept giving me a code that it wouldn't let me use. And, finally, it worked. I think that's it. That was extremely technical I think...so if I lost some of you guys, I'm sorry. >.<" 'Night!

Weird things that happen with telemarketers. What can I say, really, that's all. Especially weird ones...one guy called at like 6-ish, and kept repeatingly calling. SO, I answered and told him to call back. It sounds stupid, but I didn't know if the guys was a telemarketer. I couldn't differentiate whether the guy was a telemarketer or my landlord...or the cleaning lady or what...

Anywho, the guy calls back around 8:30 and I tell him we don't need a cleaning service. And the guy asks me if there's any friends I could refer, and I told him I don't have any. And, apparently, he took it the wrong way, or was decidedly trying to be weird...but he told me to tell him my email so that he could be my friend? WTH! And so...I freaked out, didn't tell him my email, hung up, called my dad, and made the phone busy for a good 30 minutes. haha. He didn't call back. Luckily, I didn't tell the guy any information...

*sigh* Like I said, the weird things that happen to me. Today was mostly spent...at school. I woke up around 9 and went searching for light bulbs in my house. But, it was hard, and I finally found one. But, I tried removing the cover from the ceiling light and gave up half-way because of the weight. I ended up leaving a note for Ian and Jon to do it for me, and then left for the bus stop.

I got to school around 10:45 and went to our new studio! It's awesome that we got the old MLA studio! XD It was the "Meet LASS (Landscape Architecture Student Society)" which is a bunch of 2nd years running this group to make socials and parties...and the supply room etc...Anywho, I spent the better part of the morning over there.

At 1, I went to find Jun, and apparently, he was sitting there for an hour? Which I still don't know if it's a lie or not, cuz he told me to find him at 1 XD. Anywho, he ate lunch in the UC and then...we went to the library to download some wireless thing, and then we went to his place to make it work, and it did. And then...we walked to the Ultra, and after he bought his stuff, I left for the bus stop and went home. ^^"

Yeah, it was a pretty interesting day. It's weird I must admit, being around ACF people like 24/7! But, it's...it feels like I belong somewhere, I suppose.

Why can't relationships be tireless? Somehow, for me no matter what kind of relationship I try to keep, it's somewhat tiring...And, to honestly say that to some people, I'm sure they'd be offended.

My mom was fixing the clock this morning...yup, that cookoo clock. It's broken now. So, we've got an empty space on the wall, as well as a a clock that means a lot to my mom, but no longer works, and would probably cost somewhere between $100-600 or so to fix. ƒÃ=(�P¡�P;)Ì©

I'm glad when people call me and say stuff like, "let's go hang out". Isn't everyone like...happy when people want to hang out with you and stuff like that? It makes me happy, but in the end, if you do it too much, after a while, doesn't it kind of feel like a facade? Like...you're trying to act to happy, but in the end, you really just want to go home. I've been feeling that a bit lately...

I went to the movies with May and Janetta today...which I admit was kind of fun because Imax was actually pretty awesome. And the dragon scared the crap outta me twice. And, man! The fire coming out was surprisingly hot! I didn't think it'd actually be real! So, yeah, we went to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. And, again, surprisingly good! XD I actually didn't really like the 1st one...I got so annoyed at Carmen. haha.

It's...3 more days, technically, two more days till I leave to go back to Guelph. I don't know, it just feels so much more real this time around, compared to the last two times...The first time I went with my dad, which felt fine...but the second time, I just wanted to go back to Guelph. And, this time, I just don't want to go...(*�LƒÍ`*)=3 I guess that's all I really wanted to say before I go back. I probably won't post again till then...So, laterz!

August 26, 2008

Hey! ^^" Let's see, what's new? I camp back from Camp around Sunday at 2pm-ish. Ended up going straight towards my laptop and getting the updates on everything and downloading the new stuff. That is, 3 days worth of missing out on internet.

Yesterday was spent mostly lazing around, and then going, "WHEEEE!! We got the Wii!!!!" haha. It came early in the morning, and my sister spent the better part of the morning setting it up. Around 1:30, we decided to walk to Save-On to find my mom and tell her we were around so we could help her bring groceries home. We ended up going to the Blockbuster to see the games they had, and stuff like that and not getting anything. We went back to the Save-On and helped my mom with buying the stuff. Apparently, my manager's still angry with me that I'm going back to school. XD

Today, I woke up at like 8 in the morning, because my sister was walking around the house, and nextthing you know, she's telling me she's going leaving at 8:40 to get to school to talk to her co-op coordinator?...or something?

I left the house around 9:50 and took the bus at 10 and got to Heritage around 10:10. Then, I met Linh, and we went to Starbucks. XD By the time I got home, my sister was already back, and scared the crap outta me because I didn't know she was back. haha. Anywho, then I ended up watching that new Cheetah Girls movie....yeah, crap, like I expected it to be. In all honesty, I guess they all kinda sucked, but this one hit an all low for me. haha. Whoever thought of Cheetah Girls in Bollywood? Kinda....retarded. haha.

Lately, I think I've gotten a little obsessed with Kanjani8. haha, it's weird to say, since at one point, I really didn't like them because they're more enka than j-pop. But, they are extremely funny in their PVs, and Ryo is fun to watch. haha. I guess that's it. lol Laterz. I'll spazz about school again later, I suppose.

I think the only eventful thing that happened yesterday, was the fact that I got to train the new girl that's supposed to replace me at work. haha. This girl - Patricia, she's going into grade 10! I find that pretty amazing. haha. And, I thought we'd have more to do, but we ended up facing twice, and walking down the aisles a few times, and probably walkng around the store like 3 or 4 times after finishing freight and backstock. It was definitely interesting, that's for sure. And so, apparently Jill trusts me enough to train somebody. haha.

The guy I talked about last time, was at work today, again. And, for some reason, he wore glasses today, as if they're something new. Did he have contacts before? Did he not wear glasses before? etc...Weird questions that kept popping in my head. And, if it's an achievement, we did talk about 3 or four times today, compared to our usual 1 or 2. XD Though I think the first one was him asking me how long I'd be working till, the second was about my haircut, and the third was him talking about his gloves, and me laughing at him because they said Tropicana on them. haha. Anywho...I'm giving up on him, only because I won't see him for a year, and it's pointless. I don't believe in long-distance relationships, cuz they just don't work. I can't believe I actually believed in them back then. *sigh* Anywho, ther's a short rant. haha.

August 19, 2008

This update is my random ramblings. Gomen, ne? ^^" I've been thinking lately...a lot of things, I guess. We all know Kat watches way too many romance dramas. haha. It's just the things that happens to me, ne? Anywho, there's this guy at work, he's Chinese. Unfortunatey, I think he's younger than me, either by a year or two years, evenif he tries acting older than me. hah.

Lately, I've been thinking that I won't get married. And on the opposite side, my sister keeps saying how she wants this and this to happen at her wedding, etc. It's hard. Especially when I technically don't even have a guy that I like. Certainly all I can think right now is, boys are dumb. haha.

I think mid-last year, Angela started thinking I liked one of my house mates for this coming fall. But, I don't, and it somehow turned into a thing that even her boyfriend knows about. haha. mmm...what else? Even my sister has someone she likes...why is it that I feel like I'm totally lost? It's seriously no wonder I keep telling my parents to not think about havng a wedding for me. *sigh*

I feel like I didn't have a point writing this. XD Anywho, and now I need to find a way to get Jun to want to go to ACF...or it could be a pretty boring year. And then I have to met up with him before school starts so then I can get the omiyage he got for me while he was in Japan. haha

The good news is that Ian told me he'd be home the 30th, so then I'd be able to get into the house on the 31st. Then, Jon gets back on the 1st. It's still a wonder when I'm going to move my stuff from one room to the other though. haha. It should only take an hour or two, I think...since I don't have much stuff anyways. But, I wonder if I still need to get Jun to help me or not, ne?

Lately, I've been re-watching PGSM. haha, I forgot how long it was. I mean, seriously, for a j-drama, and it having what...like 50 episodes!? haha. I don't know, I found it really good though, compared to what people said, still. haha.

Now, it's almost the countdown...about 2 weeks left. I did want to go back to school. But why can't there be a choice of staying here and not working instead. haha. I should probably stop randomly spouting random thoughts...anywho, laterz.

August 18, 2008

Today was filled with highs and lows, I suppose you can say.
Lows: I found out I have to work on Thursday. Someone called me a time theft. I still have to finish my Yaletown poster.
Highs: My NEWS bag is finally finished! I finally caught massive lightning on camera last night.

So, yes, I have to work, my final day is now Thursday instead of Friday. Which means, I get only one half of a day as a free day now instead of a day and a half before I go to Camp Nakaman and get to play with little kids. Oh the joy!

I wonder if I can spazz about work again? It's all I've been doing all summer, really. On Saturday, I went to work and I was putting stuff on a shelf. This girl who I knew worked at the tills came over to me and was like, "This lady needs help getting something off the shelf, because it's too high." At least I'm nice enough to help her, mostly because it was a customer. Anywho, I walk over to what she wants, and it's the freezer. So, I open the door, step into it, and grab the stupid popsicles and give it to the lady, who happily takes them and leaves. In reality, I can understand if the lady asks for someone to get them. But for the stupid cashier who couldn't get it herself, that's just retarded. Another reason why I freakin' hate this job.

Oh right, a short spurt on time theft. J.D. was saying how he wanted to leave early tomorrow morning, and Jordie wouldn't let him...and then when I came out the back door to go back home from work today, J.D. and Jordie were sitting at the back smoking. And then I decided to leave early because I took a 30min.less of a break. Then they saw me and like shouted time theft. XD

*sigh* Apparently, I'm not allowed to do that tomorrow, since I only work 6 hours, and I have to help train someone for my department because I'm going to stop working on Thursday. Dominique's still on Vacation in Virginia...I believe at least till next week so they need someone to fill in. And I guess that's what they call idealitic for a time to train someone. I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon trying to figure out how to use the Brother printer my dad bought at Costco about a month ago. I really wanted to make a NEWS bag, and I'd bought the iron-on stuff about a month or two ago. Anywho, I finally got them printed yesterday, and today while I was at work, my dad ironed them onto my bag for me.


I guess that's all for now, Laterz! ^^"

August 14, 2008

Yo! ^^" I officially got my license in the mail yesterday before going to work. XD At least that picture looks better than the one on my UofG ID card. haha.

Yesterday, when I took my break at work, I was hoping to leave early. And, then I decided to go find Roland and ask him about this "leave of absence form" that I was supposedly supposed to fill out. And, he ends up calling Darren, and then I had to write a letter to him requesting the form. And apparently, he couldn't read my handwriting when I gave the paper to him, and he just laughed at me. Roland then let me use the computer to write my letter, and "the end"?

I still got home around 9:15pm. I have a feeling today's freight. And I'm not gonna be all too happy about it, I don't think. haha. I'll probably end up going home late if anything.

I wanted to rant some more about the NEWS pacific DVD, but perhaps I'll do that when I've got more time. I'm about 10 minutes away from having to get to work. So, later!

August 12, 2008

I find it weird, that only in a few weeks I'm going back home. Ah~ not home, back to Guelph and to my house which I'll have to call home for the next year. I leave August 31st. And so since I found out my exam schedule for December already, it seems I'm done officially at 10:30am on December 9th. Therefore, I'm coming home around 10pm on the 9th. ^^" I was happy because I realized I only have two finals again. haha. Though I'm still not sure what to do about my Soil Science course, whether I should stick with it or what not. Most likely, I'll continue with it, and not take Anthro. I'm sure Anthro can't be that bad. But, perhaps I should save it for next semester or something.



And aside from that, am I allowed to totally spaz? Okay, perhaps spaz is the wrong word. The release date for the NEWS Concert Tour Pacific 2007-2008 - The First Tokyo Dome Concert DVD is supposed to be released August 13, 2008. And, I think starting, the 10th or so all parts of the DVD started being uploaded. And, I think I have officially all the parts. >.<" It's not my fault that I'm broke. Cuz, I was really wanting to buy it, but a DVD that won't even play in my DVD player, and costs like $60-70, doesn't seem very logical to buy. But yes, now I'll have fun during this new term working while watching NEWS. lol, so, my little rant about me bootlegging. That's bad. XD

Yesterday, I left work about 2 hours early. I finished everything I was supposed to do in a matter of 3 hours. And I was supposed to be there for an 8 hour shift. I just felt something to be wrong with that picture. Anywho, today's freight so I'll probably be there the rest of the night it seems.

I'm extremely happy that I finally found the time to finish my translations for the magazine article, but I still have yet to finish my Yaletown poster, and time is drawing nearer and nearer! ARGH! What am I gonna do, ne? Hopefully, I can get a bit more do on Friday...and then the next Thursday and Friday...and maybe some while I'm at Camp? I hope to be done before I get back to Guelph at least, even though I still have a month after returning till it's due.

I think I've ranted enough. Laterz!

Apparently, today, I'm extremely clumsy. At work, I was putting out some distro, which at the time were these black mesh trashcans. I put them on the shelf, and next thing you know I hear this clash. Apparently, on the other side of the cube were picture frames, and one fell, and broke. Great. haha. Luckily, it's not like my pay gets lower if I brake something. haha.

After putting out distro and filling the cubes, I finished freight, and then faced. When I started facing, I started at the beginning - the baby food aisle. Yes, clumsy me. I broke one of the jars. *sigh*

To be honest, I don't have much to say today, nor will I probably have anything to say tomorrow. Though, I am glad that my pay went from $9.40 to $10.20. XD

I need to stop downloading Shounen Club episodes, and try to finish my Yaletown Poster...and then maybe finish translating that article that I keep putting off. haha

And yes, I'm very unhappy that I keep missing Olympic events that I want to see. i.e. The full opening ceremonies, gymnastics...Anywho, that's it for now, laterz!

August 4, 2008

Summer is going by way too fast. I'm glad I had such a long summer vacation, but in reality, it felt so much shorter than it actually was. Why? Because almost everyday was filled with late-night shifts, and long hours. And...then having to pay for rent even though I'm not living in my new house yet back in Guelph. I'm going back the 31st! It's so soon! And to think school starts September 4th~!

I ended up splurging on lots of stuff. XD I bought a 1TB external hard drive and then two sets of headphones because there was a sale. I was happy, only becaue, I think I used up like 5 sets of head phones this year alone. >.<" So, if you guys want to buy me a present, there's what you can buy. haha. Though, I think it's because it has something to do with the go-through at the airport. Cuz everytime after I go on an airplane with my headphones, they die soon after. Plus, I use my headphones like 24/7, especially at school.

Yesterday, I went to Heritage Days and bought this carp balloon at the Japan booth. XD It was too cute, so I had to buy it, even if it was expensive for its size. Mmm...what else...

I watched Cardcaptor Sakura: The Sealed Card, which is the second movie again. haha. I've been looking for it forever...I'd burned it onto a disc when I was still in Connecticut, as far as I remembered, and then I thought I lost it. But I found it this morning, and so had to watch it. I think, I've fallen in love in Cardcaptor Sakura again. XD Sakura, Sailor Moon, and Beyblade are so mainstream, and have been dubbed. But in reality, they're really the only anime that I loved all aspects of.

I wanted to buy the NEWS - Concert Tour pacific 2007-2008 DVD which comes out August 18th, I think. But, unfortunately, the DVD wouldn't be able to be played into my DVD player, and I found it somewhat of a waste, especially seeing as it's like, $60-70? *sigh* I guess I'll just have to wait a few months till someone decides to upload it and sub it maybe. haha.

Work does not help me as far as weight. It seems, for the last month in Edmonton, I'm gonna have to go running in the mornings. People tell me stuff like...I don't have to worry about weight, because I'm so small already. But, I think I am, and it's not like food is gonna stop me. XD I like my meat way too much. haha. Anywho, that's all for now!

(*�Ü°�Ü)o�Ú�š:ß*PAN! ƒCƒGƒC�`�IThat's right, I passed my learner�fs! Anywho, I'm just happy right now...and I guess that means I should really get to working on my Vancouver poster...and finish it before I get back to Guelph. There's only a few weeks left! �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E

I'm going to Camp Nakaman with my church at the end of August, so I'm going to stop working at Save-On on August 21st. And, that weekend, I believe I'll be gone. So, I hope, worse come to worst, I'll work hard on my project also when I have free time. Of course, I'll be teaching at the same time...I guess that's what happens, when you get to go somewhere for free. XD



Ahh~! I bought this at Daiso in Vancouver. XD And then, when I came back I re-watched the Kanjani8 - Wahhahaa PV and it had the same one! What are they called? (�„�Í�ƒ)

Code Blue is getting so serious! I'm amazed with Yamapi's acting...again. (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! Anywho, that's all I've got to say for now. Laterz!

July 31, 2008

I'm actually waiting patiently for someone to upload the 5th episode of Code Blue, which aired in Japan last night. XD And to keep myself occupied, I went to go watch TV, only to find there was nothing on! I watched a weird cartoon version of Heidi, and a movie from 2006 called Deck the Halls. But seriously, there's only so much I can take.

My dad bought a wireless printer at Costco the other day, which seems really good. I can't wait to use it. I need to...well, really really want to make iron-ons, to put onto a bag I have. It's more of a...'so I have it' sort a thing, rather than a 'I'm gonna use it!' thing. XD
Anywho, what it looks like (Well, the reversal's of them at least...):


Today was interesting...I woke up around 9:30, folded laundry, drew a bath, made breakfast all at the same time. And by the time it was 11, I still hadn't taken my bath. So I quickly did that, and my water was still hot. XD YAY! Mmm...what else...I did more but somehow, I just can't remember.

I found out that NEWS made a new LAWSON'S CM. And so, I think I watched it, perhaps 5 or 6 times in a row, till I decided to cap it. It's not my fault, Ryo's expressions are always priceless.


I guess that's it for now...I just felt like pic-spamming. XD Maybe I'll pic-spam more with Code Blue screencaps or something...

July 30, 2008

It's been a week...since I last updated. It's pretty bad actually, that I haven't really written anything in the past week. Okay, I lie at that, cause I did write a poem. XD

The week has been busy with work...and massive studying. Yes, I'm gonna have a try at my learner's one more time. That's this Friday.

It's hard to believe that summer's almost over. In about a month, I'm already leaving and gonna be in Guelph. August 31st, to be exact. My mom started complaining to me the other day, that if I left, there'd be no one to talk to her, because my sister's gonna be at school all the time, and my dad doesn't come home till later from work. There's nothing I can do about it.

Anywho, my "To Do" List, so I can remember, I suppose:
The review/spotlight list:
Aragaki Yui - Make My Day [single]
Code Blue j-drama
Mr.Children - GIFT [single]
MICA 3 CHU - I DON'T KNOW [single]

And...I'm planning on buying an external hard drive, because it realy does seem useful...especially since I'm going to need the extra space later when I get AutoCad, and stuff like that.

Argh! I've got nothing to say. haha.

July 23, 2008

I got home about 15 minutes ago. Perhaps I'm too tired I can't sleep? No, that's not possible. I was extremely bored at work. Though, a lot of interesting things did happen today.

It started off with me finding Jill and she and me going to the back (=warehouse) and on the way seeing Jesse. Jesse = probably late 30s to early 40s bald man that wears glasses and is has a thing for girls, and is a service clerk. Pretty much, he sees me and says "Hi Katherine." I kinda smile and say a quiet "hi". I think Jill started laughing. XD And once he was out of view, she tells me about how he talked to my mom once and said "You know, Katherine is a beautiful girl." And my mom says "Why?" And he says "No reason." It's weird, creepy...yet funny at the same time.

After that, I did a bit of freight which was pretty much all Covergirl and Revlon cosmetics...and that didn't take as long as I thought it would. Next, I did the clipstrips in each of the aisles. And randomly some guy probably in his 30s in this bright orange shirt comes up to me. So, I thought, oh, he's gonna ask me where something is. Instead, he says "Excuse me, but has anyone ever told you that you look good in those pants?"
K: Uh, what?
Guy: What's your name? K: Katherine... (which, I couldn't really lie about seeing as...I have a name tag...)
Guy: Your boyfriend probably says that all the time doesn't he?
K: I don't have one. (Though I probably should've said I did, ne?)
Guy: You single? No way...for how long?
K: uh..for a while...
Guy: How old are you?
K:...18...
And, I forgot how it ended but he finally left...and I was left thinking WTF! 0(>_<)0

Mmmm...I haven't updated really in a while..so I never mentioned me buying my Kanji study guide at Indigo the other day. It's "A Guide to Remembering Japanese Characters". I'm having fun with it, even if I'm trying to remember lots and lots. Keeps my brain working in the summer? I don't know...

I guess that's enough for today. OH! The best song ever! �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E Actually, I only can listen to like 2 minutes of it, since it's only TV size, and the actual single doesn't come out till September...but yeah. I never realized I'd like Mr.Children, because they all seemed so old. BUt their voices are actually amazing! So, yes, Mr.Children - HANABI.

Gomen gomen! It's been so long since I've updated. But, that of course is because I keep forgetting. So, again, sorry!

I recently found an free mp4 converter...and it's making me happy. Actually, it was onlythis morning I found it...haha but yeah. Linh's coming over now...yay! ^^"

Mmm...work has been interesting. I found out I'm one of the people who got their names on the board for like "members of the month" sorta thing, yet not really. Yesterday, I was playing around with excel to figure out how much money I'm supposed to earn and how much I'm earning, and for some strange reason I got paid for 5.6 hours during the week I was gone in Vancouver.

I really need to go and do tha driver's test again, but I can't bring myself to re-study the book. Nor can I even bring myself to make my Vancouver poster. Things are getting hectic. School's almost starting! Anywho, my short update. haha
Posted at 12:00PM

July 11, 2008

I guess I haven't been updating much since I got back. Yesterday, I went to campus to hang out with Linh for a while...and then today was mostly spent doing stuff around the house, biking, and then trying to finsh up watching Tatta Hitotsu no Koi again. I've actually been really worried about my FTP program, because I couldn't find a free one that could last for a long time. My old one was Smart FTP, and somehow had an expiration date. And finally today, I found one that works that seems like it'll last awhile.

Mmm..oh yeah! I was gonna talk about one weird thing. Did I talk about it before? Mmmm...I realized something when I got to Richmond, where I met my cousin - Karen. She told us about how grandma was thinking that something must be wrong with her grandkids because none of them have gotten married yet. Most are like 30+ and the oldest one, being the cousin I met, who's 37. Anywho, it got me thinking, is it some kinda curse in our family? Like, no one has boyfriend or girlfriend...and only one of us is getting married, and that's Kelly who I think is 33? I'm not sure but he's older than me. haha. He's getting married in Septmber...and I don't get to go. �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E oh well...

Then there was that random freak thunderstorm at around 5:30pm, and my mom panicking like crazy thinking it was a tornado. Weird. Every time she sees like a thunderstorm with really big winds, she always thinks it's a tornado. Like the time she told me to go to work early because she was afraid there'd be a tornado on the way to work. (�„�Í�ƒ) Paranoid much, ne?

My sister, apparently, I totally didn't remember till I asked my dad where she was, went to Calgary Stampede with her friends from ASK this weekend. ƒÃ=(�P¡�P;)Ì© And my mom keeps being extremely worried about my sister and her random mood swings. She doesn't want to admit it, just like my sister doesn't want to admit it, but the two of them are actually extremely alike.

I was waiting for my mom to get home...I think around 1-ish. So, then I ended up going through my magazines and finding three more posters to hang on my wall. (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! Oh! and then I'm going to hang up my picture frame of my "Japan Trip 2006" pictures I made a while ago. Mmm...I guess that's it for now. �™�B.:*:�E'�K�R( �L�[`)ƒm�@‚Ü‚Á‚½‚Ë〜�ô

July 8, 2008

Time passes pretty quickly, doesn't it? One moment you're one place, and the next moment, you're already in another. What I'm talking about is my trip to Vancouver last week. It's hard to believe that I was still on vacation less than 72 hours ago.

So, I guess I'll talk a little about it, so as to not bore everybody. Plus, I can't quite remember all the little nitty-gritty details. We landed in Vancouver around 8 or 9 in the morning, rented a car and drove to Aberdeen Centre which was about 5 minutes away from the rental place? We had dim sum there, because nothing was open...that day being a Sunday. And by the time we came out, stores started opening. The Daiso ($2 store) made us happy. Though, I think on first run, we bought like about $50. That wasn't the last we saw of that place. haha. Afterwards, we got to the hotel, realized we couldn't check in yet, and parked our car, and walking randomly around downtown for a bit.

Monday was retarded. haha. We were waiting to meet up with one my parent's friend's...and he's a pastor, so he ended up being late by like..two or three hours because he was doing a consultation. Anyways, when he finally arrived, we went to China Town to eat lunch, and then he drove us around the city for a bit showing us the sites by drive-by. And then he dropped us off at Granville Island. We walked around for a bit, and took the Aquabus back to our hotel.

Tuesday was Canada Day, and was spent at Canada Place, where they had a free event (minus the food) and lots of random free stuff. Apparently my dad stole golf balls though by accident and no one knew. haha. Then, we went back to the hotel around 2 or 3 since my mom was kinda throwing a tantrum. On the way back, we found the Book Off, which is a used Japanese book store. So, I bought two magazines, and then left because my dad wanted us to go back to the hotel soon to at least get my mom back there. After dropping her off there, we went back to the Book Off, and I think I walked around there for a good hour and a half, bought a lot of books and then we left and went back to the hotel. Oh yeah, I think that was the day that I watched both Star Wars II and III. It wasn't all that bad actually, me not being one really to watch those sorta movies. But nothing else was on. Oh and after that, me and my dad went back to Canada Place to go watch fireworks. It wasn't anything all that amazing, but it wasn't horrible.

Wednesday, we went back to Aberdeen, because I told Angela I'd meet her there at 12. We ended up meeting at 12:30...but not much of a different anyways. So, while waiting for her, we ate lunch and saw Bella and her family. It was interesting, that's for sure. And, then finally, we met up with Angela, who brought along Vince. I'm sure that's because she needed a ride, more than anything. haha. Anywho, they hadn't had lunch yet, so I told them they should eat. We went to a Shanghainese food restaurant, and afterwards to the aquarium. It was actually really fun. I guess that's what happens to me a lot...like, you kinda don't want to do things, and only when you start to do them and enjoy it, do you not want it to end.

Thursday was spent in Richmond with my uncle, aunt, and two cousins - both way older than me. We went to some fisherman village. Well, really it was the harbor, I think. And then, we went to Metrotown...but nothing all that exciting. Though, it is cool to know that I have a cousin that's a lawyer, that's making movies, writing screen plays, and producing.

Friday, we woke up really early to catch the 7am ferry to Victoria. We were in downtown and then we walked around a little bit. Around 11:30 we drove to Butchart Gardens, which is a garden that was created in a quarry. It was interesting to see...but it wasn't all too amazing. I gues it might be because of the season...They had a Japanese garden too. But it was a disappointment. Our ferry back wasn't till 6, so we had to wait around till then.

Saturday...was spent walking around downtown. haha. It was raining! At least for a little bit. We ended up going back to the Book Off early in the morning, buying a bit of stuff, and then dropping them off at the hotel because they were too heavy. We ate lunch, and then walked down Robson St. I bought shoes. haha. OH, that was when it started to rain. After walking Robson, we went back to the hotel again and pretty much waited out the rain. Around 7-ish, we went to Chinatown's Night Market, which wasn't all that impressive. But I did end up buying 3 pairs of earrings. haha...I think I'm going a little earring crazy. But, I will wear them eventually. Just, probably not in the next few days. Apparently, I'd been wearing the same pair of earrings for about a week and a half...and the one on my right ear was too tight. So, I think right now, my ear's either bruised, or infected. But it should clear up in a few days..I think.

That was actually a lot longer than I expected it to be. >.<" Sorry!

AH! I want to say I'm bored, but I"m not. haha. I want to see Hana Yori Dango Final! After watching Arashi's performance of One Love on Music Station, and their PV, I got hyped up for the movie. haha. But, I probably won't be able to see it till like...September or October. ¡ß(ß�L„D�Mß)ß¡

Lately, pimples are ruining my life. haha. I remember reading something that said, if you get pimples, it's a sign of being young. But, seriously, they annoy the hell outta me. And what I found out, is that I must be having like something like an allergic reaction. So, yesterday, I tried to figure out what it was, and now I know. I can't eat chocolate anymore. �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E

Yesterday I was at work from 4-10pm, it's actually a short shift. But, it was horrible. I had about a hour of freight, an hour of dusting, about two hours of facing, my break, and then two more hours of facing for grocery. For me to face grovery is hard because I can't reach the top shelf, and have to carry a small step ladder when I work. (*�LƒÍ`*)=3 Jill asked me if I wanted the day off tomorrow (which meant today), because she didn't have anything for me to do, so I said it was fine. So, another day off today. (�„�Í�ƒ)

I'm not getting overworked. I'm just...really tired lately. I really need this vacation it seems. My knees are clicking and sore again. I hate summer. It's like, it only happens when I'm in Edmonton. It's weird. I have a feeling, it's because it's too dry here, and it has something to do with that. Cuz, when I'm in Guelph, I'm perfectly fine.

Mmm...what else. oh! Code Blue is starting soon! And I'll be sad, because I'll be in Vancouver when it starts. July 3rd! I'm excited! haha, plus, I get to see Yamapi in a drama again. (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!!

Yeah, I've got nothing much to say, and this'll probably be my last update until I get back? I'm not sure. I'm planning to bring my laptop with me, it's more a matter of, if I have internet access, and I'm not sure if we do have it or not. We'll see, ne? �i�O�Í�O�j ‚Ü‚Á‚½‚Ë〜�ô

It's been a while. I wanted to update a few days ago, but things got so busy I just kept forgetting I guess you could say. Currently, I just want to finish reading the stupid driver's book, which I can't even bring myself to study again yet.

Yesterday at work was long! I had a 2-10 shift. I did freight, and then I accidentally didn't take my break, and ended up taking my break at 6 and one at 7. Roland wanted me to help as a service clerk too..And so I ended up pushing carts in, almost hit a moving car with carts. I did the returns, and the baskets, faced my own department, and did more distro. And, so when Roland kept telling how I did such a god job, I just kept asking him if he was gonna give me a raise. haha

Because this song is seriously stuck in my head...because Music Fair 21 makes me smile!~ It's quite a good cover, seeing as it's Tegomasu. It's Natsu Iro by YUZU? I'm impressed to say the least. Their vocals are probably the best out of all of NEWS, and Tesshi's range is amazing! XD Even though, I guess he does sound like he's like screaming at parts. haha.
This is the Tegomasu singing part for Music Fair 21...the Clip
And so, I had to show the original.

I watched Kung Fu panda sometime last week...did I mention that? I can't remember. It was alright I guess. The opening was pretty eck though. I kinda wish they had cuter characters, but I guess it wasn't a horrible movie. I wan to watch Get Smart, it looks good. (�„�Í�ƒ) Plus I like Anne Hathaway.

Mmmhmm..I guess that's really all. I need to do take 2 of taking the learner's on Saturday, so wish me luck! And, next week I'm in Vancouver. So, yeah. I'll probably update again before then though, but whatever.

Ever feel like you're extremely busy all the time, but you're really not at all? Perhaps it's just being lazy and not wanting to do anything, and next thing you know, a whole day has passed? That's happened to me quite a bit. To say the least, that happens to me a lot.

Yesterday was my day off. I woke up at around 8:50, which is normal for me. Used my computer like I usually do. Watched Gachi Baka...all 10 episodes. I guess I'm back in my Tegomasu craze because of their new single. (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! But seriously, I recommend you people listening to it, just because it's that good! haha

Anywho, the weird thing is that Mr.CNS is in HK right now, and he's really like...I don't know, gangsta? kinda at least. He dresses that way. So anywho, apparently there's this store downtown called Haven or something? Is that near Grant McEwan? Yeah, so he's like, can you go to that store and check out if they have this shirt in this size and if it's $35 or cheaper? I just want to check in HK if they have it first. So, I answer back...do you want me to buy it or not? 0(>_<)0 I honestly don't feel safe going to downtown at all...even China Town is a bit sketchy. And if I go there with my parents, my parents'll be like, "why 're you going there for a guy to see if the shirt's there, and then not buying it? And then, if he does want it, we'll have to make another trip there."

Lately, I've been really tired lately. And for some reason, I had some random dream last night about being in high school...with all the people from Ainlay and two people from NHS, and Mrs.Pombert. I hated her...because she didn't like me all that much...¡¥ßߥ(>„t<;)¥ßߥ¡ Anywho...it was a weird dream, because the whole time I was talking to two people I rarely talk to.and somehow, Mrs.Pombert was asking us to play piano at some event with Third Day? It was weird!

So, around 1:50-ish, I went to the garage trying to fix my bike, because the last few days when I went biking, there were always these weird sounds! So, I greased it with that WD40 or whatever it's called. And rode around once and I could still hear the sound. �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E So, I went back to my garage and was like, I can't go pick up my mom with this racket. So, I took the screwdriver and randomly screwed in a few screws and...it was silent! I was seriously amazed I fixed it somehow. I was gonna go pick up my mom today, But somehow, I'm way too lazy...okay, I'm not lazy. My legs are beyond stiff and I can't really move them today. Which means, my knees are gonna hurt like hell tonight. I hate summer. �™�B.:*:�E'�K�R( �L�[`)ƒm�@‚Ü‚Á‚½‚Ë〜�ô

June 14, 2008

A lot of things happened today. First, I woke up around 9:30-ish, left the house and went to McDonald's with my dad for breakfast, so I could go to the Ellerslie Registry and take my learner's exam. Anywho, I think anyone would've seen it coming, that I failed it. Especially after the damn chinese dude's like, don't worry, she'll pass it. He freakin' jinxed it. �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E

Anywho, I was totally upset, and wouldn't talk for a good...well, till I had to go to work. Around 11:30-ish, my mom gave me lunch. It was spicy udon, and I hadn't known it was spicy. So, I was like choking after my first bite. Then, around 11:50, I walk over to the front door, and call for my dad so he can drive to work. That's when my mom came over to me and told me that he went to tutor and he wouldn't e driving me to work. I'm like, CRAP! So, I left the house at 11:52, walked like crazy over to Save-On, and arived there at 12:05.

Half way there, I was feeling sick because of spicy udon. I can't handle spicy, and when I do eat a lot of it, I do get sick. So, not feeling well, and having a headache, I quickly got ready for work. I ended up taking a 25 minute break instead of a 30 to compensate. It's surprising how I walked so fast...

Randomly, I saw David Phan at work! That's right. He decided to apply to 3 jobs at the same time, and they all decided to hire him. And so, he was told to come into work for today, and after today he's quitting. haha. So, I talked to him during my break, and I felt a little better. I never realized, he has a kinda accent when he talks.

Anywho, that brings me to around 7:30 when I was cutting open a box of distro, and apparently, it wasn't cutting, and I was getting a little annoyed. Next thing you know, I cut my self a little with my blade by accident. �™�Ü(�„�B�á)ƒCƒ^ƒC Alyssa kinda panicked and called J.D., and then called Roland, and then I was in the First Aid room, rubbing alcohol over my cut, and then put a bandaid on, and having to fill out a form. It was definitely a weird 15-minute experience. Moral of the story? Don't use a blade, when you're depressed, you accidently do stuff.

I got home, and...ta-dah! that's really the end of my day. Weird things happen to me. But, usually bad things always happen one after the other only on one day. So...I don't know. Guess that's it then...ƒÃ=(�P¡�P;)Ì©

Time goes by really fast, when all you do is work. 0(>_<)0 And so, today was me going to Southgate to meet Linh, and while waiting, seeing Tori and talking to her for a little bit. And the pasta salad she brought was amazing!

Slowly, I'm getting more and more worried for my learner's exam on Saturday. And randomly, I'm having flashbacks, mostly about car accidents, because of the stupid driving book I've been studying. It's weird how things happen, I suppose.

Because it was just so awesome to me...and I went kyaaaa~ for a really long time yesterday because of them, I'm posting these pics.

It's Yamapi's Toshiba PC ad. (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! And so, it made me laugh when I realized Jun took a picture of it for me. Haha, so he's on the lookout for NEWS for me, apparently. (�P°�P)v

His okonimiyaki, with way way too much furikake. But nonetheless looks yummy to me...

It's funny, that he takes a picture of Lawson for me. Yup, it's another NEWS reference, because they made like three CMs for Lawson.

Oh! It's Ryo from the end of the 10th episode of Last Friends. Apparently, Jun was flipping through the channels and randomly saw him and decided to take a picture for me. (�„�Í�ƒ) Though, I suppose that's weird timing to take the pic, since that was when Sousuke was about to rape Michiru...„¢(�P�[�P)„¡�@

It's Tokyo and then we can see Shibuya 109 from there. haha. Doesn't seem all that crowded to me, so I'm not sure what keeps meaning by t being so congested...

Anywho, as you can see, I've got nothing to say. (-�l-)‚²‚ß‚ñ‚您‚§

As much as I want to get a new job, I also just as much don't want one. Because, it takes time to fit in in a new work place, and get used to what you have to do. In reality, I'm just glad to be where I am today.

Yesterday, I paid my June rent, and found out that my friend moved my stuff into Stephen's old room, which means, I need to move my stuff back when I get back to Guelph at the end of August. My landlord told me that I'll stay in the other room no matter what, with the closet, and that's nice to know, so now I don't have to buy a closet or something along those lines. I'm glad. Now, I have to figure out buses...timetables, etc. But, that shouldn't be all that bad, I don't think.

On Thursday, I saw Ben at Ainlay, and got my tube back from Mr.Bloomfield. Afterwards, went to Southgate, watched Ben eat, and stole some of his fries. And then...missed my bus to West Ed twice, and arrived at West Ed around 2:15. Then, I met my friend, and watched them eat. Apparently they were waiting for me to eat lunch, so I kinda feel bad about that. It was nice to see her again, but it kinda seemed like we were randomly dragging it out because they didn't have to be anywhere till 5:30, and were trying to stayat West Ed from 11:30 till then! That's just crazy, don't you think?

Anyways, I decided I'm probably going to take my learner's driver's exam thing-y....on Saturday. So, wish me luck, ne? Jun's already in Japan...and I kinda miss having someone to randomly talk about Japanese stuff with.

Though my dad knows I've been worrying a lot about money lately, and knows about me trying to save up money for my trip to Japan. But...he told me that he wouldn't let me pay, even if my mom was coming with me. ƒÃ=(�P¡�P;)Ì© Sometimes, I just can't figure it out....I feel like my parents are spoiling me, even though I know it's supposed to be a good thing, but I just feel so guilty about it. My sister's going to New York at the end of August with a friend and she's paying for the whole thing for myself. And, never once has my dad said he'd pay for it for her. I find it odd. Firstly he pays for my university tuition, which is about two or three times that of Kim's, and then a Japan trip for two people...for three weeks? Mmm...I just don't get it. And, I know I should be happy, but for some reason, I can't help but think...I just either need to find a better job, or find a few more hours or something.

Honestly, my dad isn't saying anything about worrying about money...yet he says stuff like, why don't you ask for a few more hours? Does he want me to earn more spending money or something...and then not let me use it? I'm so confused. 0(>_<)0

June 4, 2008

Lately, I've been thinking a lot. What is the reasoning behind friendships? Is it common interests? The time spent together? Or is ther more to everything? I was talking Jun the other day about how even hanging out with friends can seem like a chore. And, in reality, I find that extremely true. I mean...when a person can't say 'no' and they still have things they want to do, but they leave it for later so that they can go hang out wth friends...easily, when that happens to me, I get anxious to leave. „¦„¨„¦„¨„§(¥_„¥„¦„¨„¦„¨ haha.

In the past...week, I've been asked...four or five times to go hang out, and I've either been too busy with work, or just not been wanting to go. I mean, one of my friends asks me to go hang out with him once I get home from work to go randomly walking in a park. Uh, it was after 10? And, I had work the next morning, so I was like..no.

And what's this? After I freakin' yelled at him to stop bothering me when I was studying, he assumes it's safe to ask me to hang out again? Sometimes, I just can't figure out what's wrong with Martin. Then, Aisha's coming to visit Edmonton for two days, and wanted to hang out while she was here. so I'm meeting her on Thursday after I go to Ainlay. I'm meeting Ben at Ainlay on Thursday, before I make my way over to West Ed. It's gonna be a long day, that's for sure. I'm not saying that it's not nice to see people want to see me and stuff like that..I just wish it'd be more spread out or something. Anywho, that should be enough ranting on that, ne? ^^"

Lately, it's also been more, more, and more work..but in the mist of that, getting a new bookshelf, and rearranging my room. I've been riding my bike a lot around MacEwan a lot. I bought a curling iron...


I guess that's it ne? Just a little rant, I suppose. ‚Ü‚Á‚½‚Ë〜�ô

Since yesterday, I started biking. It's fun, especially on a day when it's not rainng. And, so...what can I say, except that I'm glad that on a day I have off from work, I finally get a sunny day. (*�Ü°�Ü)o�Ú�š:ß*PAN! After biking, I went to get my mom from work, on my bike, carried some of her stuff back for her, and biked back home first. And then, I did a bit more biking arond MacEwan...I decided I should stop, and next thing you know, outside, it started raining! Okay, just a for a little bit. But, seriously, it was awesome timing. (�P°�P)É

Today was spent mostly watching a bit of Hana Yori Dango Returns and redownloading it, because the old version I had on one of my burned discs became faulty. �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E Also, I watched all of Girlicious. It was interesting. That's all I can say.

I emailed my hostess yesterday, and she said she'd give me hosting once again once she helped me set up the subdomain again, so I'm glad for that piece of news. I mentioned going back to Japan, and for sure, it's probably fact now. I'm just not certain how long it'll be for. Probably three weeks. ‚n(�†�¤�…)‚n I emailed my host family in Tokyo about it, and so hopefully, I can find a place to stay? I don't know, but there's still time.

Lately, I haven't talked to my sister. She's always with her "best friend". And, seriously...I hate him now. It's not a matter of him taking up my sister's time all the time, so that I never have time to talk to her. But, the fact that she only talks about him, or the things that he'd want to talk about. What the heck? Anywho, I'm fed up. And, everytime I see her, I just think him. And it annoys the hell outta me.

May 18, 2008

It's been a while since I've updated, and it seems that I've either got to officially find another hostess, or give up on using my FTP all together. I don't really want to do that, but...it's a hassle to find a new hostess. *sigh* Anywho, for now, I'll just continue with posting here, I suppose...or perhaps I'll go back to free hosting with ads...¡¥ßߥ(>„t<;)¥ßߥ¡

I got called in Saturday afternoon by Jill and thought, "Oh! Freight must've come in." But instead I get there a few minutes early, sit around doing nothing for a few minutes, walk into the office, and no one's there. A walked around the whole store, walked back up to the break room, found Sara, and then found out I was going to be a Service Clerk for the night. Which means....pretty much, I helped push carts back in, did sweeping between the tills, put returns back on the shelves...and helped bag stuff. (�œ�L�Í�M)É

I can't remember if I'd mentioned me liking the guy I'm living with this coming fall? In the words of Angela, "there's just no more love for him." And, I expected that to happen. Because of the fact that I don't seem him for a few months...the attraction disappeared. I think I just thought, he was cute, and that was it. �S(*�†�Þ�…) Now, it's just kinda like, "oh yeah, you're living with me next year. v(�P°�P)v"

After church today, we went to Southgate. We ate lunch first, and then to Dollarama so I could buy hair ties, but we bought so much more. haha. My parents both bought stuff too at different places....my mom went into the Devonshire warehouse sale, and I saw La Senza Girl next door with jeans for $12.50, and...so, I bought two pairs. haha. I didn't expect them to fit me! But, they totally did.

My sister's away this weekend for ASK Camp, and next weekend for YC. It's been a weird feeling when she's not around. But, in reality, I'm somewhat glad. I don't have to worry about her. I'm the worrier in the family, I suppose....where people don't, I do. Anywho, apparently, my sister's planning a trip to NY by herself, and because of that, my dad told her to find someone to go with her. And of course, she brings Zhen, our supposed "neighbor" that lives in Rutherford. He's been hanging around her like everyday and if that doesn't happen, they text each other. So, they have some kind of means of contact everyday. And...what else? She doesn't like him, and is convinced she's just his best friend and nothing else. I mean..come on! The guy came over to help her make cup cakes for two hours, and then ate like half of them. What the heck?! She's got to get herself thinking straight or weird things are gonna happen when she's in NY. Oh yeah, and she likes another guy, with the same first name as my dad. And, the Zhen knows this apparently, which is why she's in denial. Anywho, Of course, since my sister's a big Wicked fan, she wants to get tickets to go see it at the Gershwin Theater.

I totally finally got an email back from Jun. I thought he was mad at me because I gave him like a big list of stuff to buy me when he goes to Japan in June. (haha, get it? Jun in June? (�„�Í�ƒ)) Anywho...yeah. instead of him being mad at me, he told me his dog died last week, and that's why I hadn't been able to reach him. And then...re-asked me, if I really wanted the stuff I asked by September. haha. And then...he asked me to think of j-dramas for him to watch. Yeah...apparently, I'm his only connection to Japanese culture in Guelph. �i�O�Í�O�j That seems a little weird to me, but whatever. I guess that's enough ranting. haha. Ja ne! o(*�EƒÖ�E*)�›„ª„ª„ª�™ ƒoƒCƒoƒ@〜ƒC~

Apparently, my dad thinks I shouldn't try to find another job, and continue with this one for the rest of summer. He's giving me the money he gets from tutoring so that I don't go to Second Cup. I think the reason behind all this is because he thinks I want to use all this money I'm earning to pay him back and stuff like that for rent next year. Well, I guess that's part of it too, because I feel guilty. (�†„t�…)É

He offered to pay for my own Japan trip way back...a while ago, as a graduation gift he'd said. But, if I go, I'm planning it to be a two to three month thing at the least. Therefore I feel guilty that he wants to pay for my Japan trip, that I want to pay for it myself? I guess that's just how I am. If people offer it, I'm happy, and it's not like I feel like a charity case or anything. My parents aren't rich, if anything, way from it compared to the rest of my family. My uncle in Hong Kong's a doctor, and he keeps asking my dad to contact him so that he can help pay for our years at uni. I mean...my dad took up the tutoring job just for extra money for these purposes, even though it's not much.

We moved into this house only about three years ago. And, back then, we were gettingal these compliments, like about how big it was! I didn't take anything of it, till I realized that our house is pretty big compared to the other houses on the block. Or, perhaps it looks that way because we're the corner lot. But, either way, people think we have lots of money, especially at church. For special occasions, when we still used to help out with the North side missions church, we helped buy the special gifts that we give to the attendees. And, because we did that, people thought that we must be rich or something. But in reality, we just have impeccable taste in finding cheap stuff. o(�†�¤�…)o I mean, come on, we bought all the stuff at Dollarama!

mmm...What else. So, as far as work, it's not that I hate work, nor that I particularly hate my job. It's just hard because it's such a physical job, with long hours, that is, if I'm allowed to consider 8 hours, long hours. �E�K�E(‚„D�M)�E�K�E Plus, because it's getting close to summer, you'd think the high schoolers in my department would work more, but it seems more and more, I'm being left to work on my own. Especially yesterday, when I had to work freight on my own...that was just...(O_O�G)Shock�I�I There was so much, and I still had so much trouble finding where stuff should be put, so it took me longer than it normally should. (*�LƒÍ`*)=3

And, yup, I need a new banner soon. o(�†�¤�…)o Tomorrow's my day off, so I shall be going to Ainlay around...11:30-ish till probably around 12, and then going back home to eat lunch, and then deposit my first pay check, and then...help my mom bring a watermelon home. haha

May 12, 2008

It's taken me 3 weeks to figure out I'm being jipped at my job at Save-On, and need to find second job. Yep, I'm probably over-working myself, but for the stuff I do, I feel like I'm not getting paid enough. This job is both physically and emotionally draining...And, so...tomorrow, I'm gonna head over to the Blockbuster, and see if they're hiring.

People like me don't usually need money. It's only special cases. I've lived my life...being a cheapo, and using my dad's money if need be. And to know, I'm still gon be broke when I go back to Guelph in the summer...doesn't make me all that happy. All the money I'm trying to make this summer is either supposed to go to my Japan fund, or to my dad. My goal this summer is at least $3500. Next summer is another $4000 or so, and I might have to work during the school term....if I can too. *sigh* I don't think I'm going to make it. Because last time when I went to Japan, I paid about $3500 to go for two weeks. I'm planning to go for three or four months in 3rd year...and I'm running out of time. *sigh*

Anywho, we'll see how things go. I'll just have to try my best and stop spending my money.

What I've come to hate. People that say one thing and do another. The name for that is a hypocrite. I remember someone telling me something like..we'd be best friends forever? Every says that line when you grow up. More than 10 times I've heard that line, and each time it's said, it's almost like a jinx. All of those friendships have ended...and I don't even talk to those people any more.

That's when I think, is there something wrong with me? Or am I just not meant to have friends? XD Whatever the answer may be, it seems I can really only keep what I call "now" friends. Perhaps, that's the reason I can't trust anyone, really...Because lots of people I come in contact with say one thing, and than do another. I can lists tons of people I knew like that..but that would just bring...lots of trouble.

I can't remember if I've talked about it, but in my third year at Guelph, under the BLA (Bachelor of Landscape Program) in my second semester, I can either study abroad, do an internship, or continue studying at University of Guelph. At first, I was wanting to study broad. And then, I though, maybe it'd be fun to intern in Edmonton. That's when I talked to Jun and he has a job in Japan starting in June. That's when I thought...what if I could find a job in Japan? Maybe I could intern? If it's possible, and I study lots more of my kanji in the following year and try my best to be more fluent, I'm sure I'll be able to survive. It'll make my dreams come true at least, because I was planning to go to Japan in the summer of my 3rd year anyways. ^^" Anywho, I'll stop ranting, cuz I've really got nothing else to say. If I keep talking about work, I'm sure people will be bored...So, laterz!

What I've come to realize: I actually like my job, if only I could sit for a little, instead of walking and standing for the entire time I have to work. My shifts are insane, like I said so many times before. But, I asked for it, I suppose.

Today is boring-ness. I'm sorry for being boring. (�B�Q �Q)�B Yesterday....no wait, Sunday after church, we went to Costco, and I saw The Chronicles of Narnia...which is like...all the series books put into one book, and I had to buy it, and so I did, for like $13. (�„¡�ƒ) And, so, waking up around 9, I read a bit of it, did my computer stuff, and ate lunch...made a few banners for The New Frontier...got the mail...ate dinner. And, so, we know how boring my day has been. (*�Ü°�Ü)o

Yesterday, I watched another Shounen Club episode, and so, I've been hooked on this song called "Arigatou no Uta" by V6. It has a nice tune to it, and it's nice and simple. �™�B.:*:�E'�K�R( �L�[`)ƒm�ô Though, I only went searching for the original because some of the members of NEWS sang it. (�†„t�…)


Yup, I think that's enough to bore you guys. (-�l-)‚²‚ß‚ñ‚您‚§

It has been a mad long time since I've updated. XD Let's just say, I've been busy with work. What do I do? Pretty much stock shelves, and facing - which is bringing products forward. It's an extremely easy job so far...and For working for a week, I've earned a little over $200. And by the end of next week, it's gonna be on the way to $500. I'm happy. ^^" The first time I get a job, it's through an informal interview with my mom's boss, and I think I answered things weird, and still got the job. haha

Though it's a somewhat tireless job, the fact that I get long hours of standing does make me tired still...and therefore, I did like barely anything yesterday.

Linh and I decided to create a kind of web blog together. It's going to be a reviewing type of site based on things that interest us. Like for me, it'll mostly be all asian-based (or Japanese XP) and like...dramas and music. For Linh, it'll be mostly comics and music. So, a shameless plug to --> The New Frontier

So, yes, in the mean time, as I talk about my hours, again XD:
Monday: 12pm-8pm
Tuesday: 5pm-10pm
Wednesday: 12pm-8pm
Thursday: OFF
Friday: OFF
Saturday: 2pm-10pm

I'm not saying that's it's a bad thing that I get all these hours, cause I am not gonna be broke by the end of summer at least. I'm planning to give my first $200 to my dad, because of all the money I spent this year while I was in Guelph. I have a feeling though, my dad's not gonna take it. But, yeah. I, at one point had so many bad things to say about Hey! Say! JUMP, and now...I have both good things and bad things. XD They're new song Dreams Come True, was bad at first play, when I watched Hey!x3. But, now the PV has made me come to love the song so much! >.<" I think PV's do that to me. Anywho, that's all. I need sleep!

April 28, 2008

This morning was filled of waking up at 8-ish, downloading lots and lots till around 10:45-ish when I got a call and went to Save-On-Foods to go talk to one of the store managers. Apparently, I'm helping to stock shelves in the cosmetics section or something. So, in the mean time, my hours:
Tuesday: 2pm-6pm
Wednesday: 10am-6pm
Thursday: 11am-7pm
Saturday: 6pm-10pm
Monday: 12pm-8pm
Tuesday: 5pm-10pm
(*�LƒÍ`*)=3 That's what I get for saying I want max hours, ne?

Ah, and of course I went to Ainlay today to meet up with Linh to go eat lunch. Yup, I'll post those pics up once I get the chance, ne? (�P°�P)

Yup...I've lately, been listening to KAT-TUN's new single, it's alright I guess. And...of course, continuing to listen to NEWS's SUMMER TIME single. and so...(�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!!
KAT-TUN - Don't U Ever Stop
Akanishi Jin - LoveJuice
Kamenashi Kazuya - w/out notice
Nakamaru Yuichi - SMACK
Taguchi Junnosuke - Natsu no Basho
Tanaka Koki - PARASITE
Ueda Tatsuya - Ai no Hana

And....once I get a chance, I'll upload caps of another crack video (NEWS - SUMMER TIME PV), maybe the Hey!x3 04.28.2008 parts for NEWS (which is the performance of SUMMER TIME and the talk)...is there more..hmmm...maybe the Music Station episode for KAT-TUN's Don't U Ever Stop performance? Actually I could cap a lot, it's more a matter of if I really feel like I want to, I guess. We'll see. ^^"

I watched a special drama today called - Budou no Ki (Grapevine), which is about foster parents, and foster kids. Yamapi's in it...and is one reason why I watched it. I remember him advertising it back on Domoto Kyoudai once. Anywho, it was good, and I cried. Long story short, he dies at the end. >.<"

April 27, 2008

The entire Vancouver trip...well, lots to say, and I'm not sure where to start. Honestly, I can't remember half of what happened. >.<" I hopped on a plane early Sunday morning to get to Vancouver on the 20th. Spent the day with Angela at the mall, getting my ears pierced, and watching a movie. We took the bus back to her place and randomly watched TV. Around 7-ish, Vanessa, Darwin, and Vince came arrived and Angela and her mom went to pick them up. They arrived at the house, and they watched 'Are you smarter than a 5th grader' with me while Angela and her mom went back to the airport to pick up Jen. Once Jen arrived, we went to walked to Cabin 5555 and ate dinner. I just drank bubble tea, I think...

Monday morning we were early to the meet up spot (Rosedale on Robson hotel) and ended up walking along Robson St. and going through the amazing library! XD Once it reached 10am, we went back to the hotel and joined the rest of the group. We went to Yaletown, walked along Coal Harbor, walked towards China Town, and Gastown.

Tuesday we went back to the hotel again to meet up, and walked over to some harbor where the aquabus was, and took it across the way to Granville Island. She gave us a 30 minute do whatever time, and we (Angela, me, Darwin, Vanessa, Jen) ended up going into the market place to see what was inside and then later randomly walked. After that, we walked towards Kitsilano beach. We had lunch there, and then we had to walk all the way back, more like speed-walking back, and then we took the aquabus again but to False Creek, which is considered this new area called "Olypmpic Village" built for the purpose of the 2010 Olympics. That night, we went to some place downtown to eat Japanese food and Korean BBQ. XD That was really fun, because we got to sit in a boat (erm...hard to explain. If you've got time, go look through all my pictures on facebook. XD)

On Wednesday, we met at the hotel at 8. Vanessa wanted to get her coat, so we were speed-walking to catch up with the group who were racing to get to the meet-up place where some guy was gonna speak about a bit of the downtown area. We ended up taking a school bus and sitting on it for nearly 2 hours. We got off in a place called Surrey, which is just a new developing area north of Vancouver. 5 minutes after walking around in a circle, we got back on the bus and drove for another hour or so to Port Moody to walk around. Me and Angela were pooped, so we found a 7-eleven, went to the bathroom, and then went back on the bus, and spent a bit of time there. After that, we made a trip to Simon Fraser. Apparently, Lise's (my teacher who's supposed to be guiding us) daughter got food poisoning or something, and was rushed to the hospital once we arrived. And, we were left to wander randomly around campus. Mmmm...that night we went to Cactus Club Cafe. Expensive, but it was pretty good. And then, we walked to Death by Chocolate. XD

On Thursday, we met at the hotel at 8:20 to get Darwin and Vanessa to hurry with their luggage so we could put them in Angela's mom's car. The two ended up staying in the hotel for Tuesday and Wednesday. Anywho, we got on a school bus again, sat on it for a good hour or so till we arrived at the ferry place. We took a ferry to Victoria, and it took about....an hour and a half I think. We just kinda sat around and talked the whole time. XD Thinking Lise would bring us to random places, we ended up walking on our own, finding a few cute stores and taking the ferry back to Vancouver. We arrived back around....9.

Friday, we were doing our own thing, and decided to eat breakfast..well, brunch. Vanessa got her hair done, and Angela waited with her. I went with Darwin and Vince to the mall so Darwin could buy a new charger. We ended up going to Stanley Park and renting bikes. I was on a tanon bike..or at least, that's how I think it's spelled...>.<" It's one of those two-person bikes. I can't use handle brakes, and so, that was the outcome. Apparently, there aren't really any bikes out there anymore with a pedal brake. *sigh* Yup, I ended up riding with Vince for a bit first, and then Darwin, and then with Vanessa the rest of the way. XD We went to eat dinner downtown again, at a Thai restaurant.

I ended up accidentally misreading my print-out plane ticket and missing my flight. I re-booked it for the Saturday morning 7am. I think Vince felt bad for me or something, or saw that I was about to cry or something. haha. So, him and Angela brought me to bubble tea, and then I went back to Angela's place to sleep and she slept downstairs with me. I woke up at 3:30 Saturday morning. It was still really early, so I did all my usual stuff to get ready and watched TV for a bit. Woke up Angela a few times. Vince came around 5:06, and we arrived at the airport around 5:18 or so. No traffic, I think that's why. Anywho, I got checked in, said my 'good byes', and went in. I got to Edmonton around 9:30-ish.

April 19, 2008

Just wanted to leave a note that I'm going on a plane tomorrow morning and leaving for my trip to Vancouver. I won't be back till Friday (actually, it's Saturday morning... (12am-ish) so don't expect any updates...is really all I wanted to say.

And, that business aside, I can't wait for the NEWS - Summer Time single to come out. XD Their songs to say the least on this single aren't amazing, and don't really stand out to me, but they're going KAT-TUN-like and sing jap-lish. XD It's fun to hear. And SUMMER TIME is just love! haha Though, the CD covers aren't the best I've seen of their CDs...well, no, if anything, these might be their worst covers ever.

SUMMER TIME
EASY COME, EASY GO

April 17, 2008

This morning, I woke up at around 8, got on my computer, and quickly watched the first episode of Hokaben. Sadly, Shige gets only a small part. *sigh* at least for now. Aya Ueto's likeable, but she's not my favorite actress to watch or anything. SO, I ended up skipping through most of it.

Around 10:50, I walked out to the bus stop, caught the 39 and then the 74 got to school. t was only 11:30-ish or so. I talked to Bloomfield. Apparently, he couldn't remember what year I was in, and thought I was in a architecture program in Calgary. XD I got my portfolio back, walked and walked around a little bit, and then sa in the rotunda for a little while. When the bell rung for 12, I found Doan, and helped her moeve the projector over to Mr.Ito's room.

That's where I saw Mr.Ito, and he asked me to make sure "You're graduated right?" XD haha, yeah. And so, I talked to him about me and my program, and I told him that I was in Landscape Architecture. He seemed interested when I said that only because he said he has relatives over in Japan doing that, and could help me with talking to them or something. haha.

Then, I walked next door, and talked to Mrs.Ito for a little, and mostly that was about IB exams, and her stresses about the festival. haha. Then, I talked to Ms.Lin for a bit, who was trying to figure out why I don't go to Japan sooner. XD I was planning to go after my fourth year of university, but now that I look at it, it just doesn't seem possible either. I think I might go summer of 3rd year instead. Cuz, at least, I can stay for a longer period of time. If I go fourth year, I'll only go for like two months, instead of 4, that is, even if I go for that long, right? ^^"

I was with Linh for a bit and we walked around a bit more. And then, we went to Heritage, and walked over to the Extreme Pita, ate lunch. mmmm...what else, it's hard to write when I'm watching Last Friends at the same time. Ryo-chan, the things that you make me feel. XD haha. I guess that was it. Nothing for tomorrow...nothing for Saturday...and Sunday's the morning flight to Vancouver. *sigh* Things go by so fast, ne?

And, I leave with a note saying...I can't stop listening to NEWS's new single, Summer Time. XD Listening to them sing english is amusing.

April 16, 2008

Ah! It's been exactly a week since I've last updated. >.<" Last week, last I remember was talking about my CIS exam. On Friday, I had my Philosophy exam. The next morning, I moved the rest of my stuff to Mr.CNS's place, where I'm living next year. Around, 1pm was the contract signing. And, I'm just hoping I can get the room with the closet, or I'm going to have to buy one once I get back. *sigh*

I sat around the living room on my laptop, with wireless internet, till about 5:30-ish, translating random magazine articles...till the other 3 guys were ready to go. ^^" We were going to go to Fuji for Jon's belated birthday dinner. And, that's what we did. Afterwards, all of them except for me, Ian, and Stephen went to some bar and drank or something. When we got home, I printed off my plane ticket in Steve's room, and then did a few things on my computer, and went to sleep. To be honest, I couldn't go to sleep completely. SO, technically, I was half-asleep. There's only so much sleep I can get sleeping in someone else's bed, right? *sigh*

The next morning, I woke up around 8-8:30-ish, and then we ate breakfast, got to school to wait for the bus, to realize the bus wasn't coming today! Well, the bus for Crestwicke. So, I ended up staying on campus and cleaning up the last bits of stuff in my room that needed to be completed, and just waited around till time came for me to call Mr.CNS to come and help me. I find it funny though, that Deb said she was bored, and then decided to hang out with me till Red Car showed up at the UC.

I got to Hamilton airport around...4:15? I checked my baggage, and then next thing you know I'm sitting inside, waiting for the plane to arrive. But, it was late. When they started letting people on, they said that something happened with their computer system. Anywho, I ended up sitting on the plane for a good hour till take off.

Monday, I did nothing. XD And yesterday, I did a lot. I ended up waking up around 7:30 to take the bus to get to the dentist, get fillings, and have a numbed mouth. After that, I went to BMO to order checks, and have my job interview. Tadah! Fun in a nutshell. ^^"

April 9, 2008

Yep, I came back from the CIS exam around...8. I finished a lot earlier than I thought I would've. Expected to need the full two hours. When I got there, I was stressing. and then realized that the pencils I got out to use didn't have an eraser! I took the whole exam and messed up once, so when I went to hand it in, I had to ask the guy for an eraser, and the freakin' guy didn't even have one! So...I asked if I could go to my bag to get one. And, like, the guy was secretly watching me get it and use it.

Anywho, I left and then went to call Angela...then went to Mountain to buy a drink, and went back to res and played online mahjong (tendou.net) And then, mmm....oh! I convinced Jun to make me a Japanese lunch. �_(�Ü�¤�Ü)�^ At the same time, I'm stealing his supposed extra Japanese "candy" which is actually his ‚¹‚ñ‚ׂ¢ - rice crackers.

Mmm...I think that's really it. I need to start studying for my philsophy final. Anywho...one exam done, one more to go! �_(�¤�P�_(�P�¤�P)�^�P�¤)�^Ô¯À§°!! ....and...yep...o(*�EƒÖ�E*)�›„ª„ª„ª�™ ƒoƒCƒoƒ@〜ƒC~

EDIT: I realized....I'd written something before my exam, and I'd totally forgot to post it along with what I'd just written. Random Japanese stuff, I guess...
Ai ai gasa: which literally means "Two under the same umbrella, or love-love umbrella" and symbolizes two people who like each other enough to share an umbrella. It is associated with couples in love. A simple sketch like that at right, showing the names of the pair, means "Moriyoshi and Noriko like each other."


And while searching for what that meant...I learned about Teru Teru Bozu, Japanese amulet dolls that are hung to try to cheer up the clouds to let the sun through again. ^^" They're quite cute...but can at the same time seem a teensy bit creepy since they're hung from their heads and at times may seem like it's ...well, committing suicide. XD


And...I already knew about Tsuyu, but I felt the need to talk about it? It's the rainy season in Japan, which usally starts at the beginning of June till mid July. All this talk about rain...I feel like, it's appropriate. ^^"

April 9, 2008

Thanks for not saying anything about my random spammage the past few days. XD NOTE: Yeah, I probably won't have any worthwhile posts till I get back to Edmonton...or maybe...after my exams are finally done. ^^" I tend to not talk about anything important during exams time to keep my mind off of things.

Oh yeah, and my small little rant:
How does someone like

become like this?


In no way am I sayin he's cute or anything, but...I mean, the first icon's of him in his Gackt stages, and that just reminds me of Martin when I first met him. Like, if you notice Ueda's necklace? It's the same as Martin's bracelet. And then, we get what Ueda is now...a somewhat girl-y guy? ...well, perhaps an understatement. haha, makes me laugh when I think what Martin might be in a couple of years. haha, but I guess I shouldn't be mean and say stuff like that...

OH YEAH! It's officially considered Yamapi's birthday over here. ^^" Though, it's already one day past in Japan, ne? ....anywho...lol

April 8, 2008

Mostly, a note for me, so I can find this later...if I really want to.


From the two press conferences...for the announcing of the cast, I think, Ryo says both of these:
–l‚ª‰£‚Á‚Ä‚é‚Æ‚±‚ë‚Æ‚©�—�«�w‚©‚ç�u�Å’á�`�v‚Á‚Ä�B�B�B
Something about, at the part where he's abusive, girls will think he's the worst.


�‰‚ß‚Ä�i–ð‚̘b‚ð�j•·‚¢‚½Žž‚É‚ ‚ê�HƒIƒŒƒWƒƒ“ñ�|ƒY‚¶‚á‚È‚©‚Á‚½‚Á‚¯‚Ç�B�B�B
DV�@�iDomestic Violence) ‚̃V�[ƒ“‚ðŽB‚Á‚½‚Æ‚«‚Í�[“ú’†�u‚Ç‚æ�[‚ñ�v‚Æ‚µ‚½Š´‚¶‚Å‚µ‚½
Then, he says...that at first when he heard about the role, he was like, "But...I'm a Johnny's". When they took the DV Scene during the day, it gave a "DOYOOON" kind of feeling....I've got no idea what that means. But I think it means...not DOKI DOKI, but....it's just kinda hits you...or something. I get what I'm talking about, but you probably have no idea. 0(>_<)0


I don't have the exact date this is from, but I'm guessing it's around March 6th or so...from the official site, when they chose who played what...
Nishikido Ryo�fs message:
"Till now (ever since I�fve started acting), I�fve been acting as the main lead (which I�fm thankful for) I�fve acted as quite a number [GOOD] roles which many people supported. This time, thanks to Miss Masami Nagasawa that acted as my girlfriend; I�fm able to act as the role of a destructive DV (Domestic Violence) guy. As this is the first time I will be acting as such a role, I�fm very much anticipating to how far and well I can go into it. I�fm already prepared to be thought of as a bad guy by the whole nation�fs females who will be watching this drama."

Oikawa Sosuke (Acted by Nishikido Ryo) is the boyfriend of Aida Michiru; (Acted by Nagasawa Masami.)

From his appearance, he�fs a gentle and good guy.
However, the overly strong feelings he had for his girlfriend leads to his DV (Domestic Violence) actions. He�fs a guy with split personalities.

Producer, Nakano Toshiyuki said:
"DV is currently phenomenon in the society. I think Nishikido Ryo is the only one that is able to interpret and act out such a difficult role. (Delicate yet on the verge of breaking down.) Thus, I invited him to act for this role. Though this character is completely opposite to the roles he previously acted, DV guy is not a freak, he�fs also a man, a human being. I think he will be able to interpret well for this role."

What can I say? Ryo-chan in a new role makes me happy. �_(�¤�P�_(�P�¤�P)�^�P�¤)�^ Though, his role's a pretty twisted guy. haha Somehow...it makes me look forward to it more. (�„�Í�ƒ) All his previous roles were minor roles, compared to this, I think. Plus, Utada Hikaru makes me somewhat happy...ever since Flavor of Life. I've been into Ryo-chan a lot lately...and I'm not sure what's wrong with me. XD I still love my Yamapi of course. ^^"

I had fun downloading Veoh TV today, and then streaming Waratte Iitomo Spring Special 2008, which was aired yesterday. And, after watching this video (the one below) at a NEWS comm, I had to find the video for it. haha...I still have no idea what kinda sound NURU NURU is though...


Oh yeah! And I totally haven't ranted about how much I'm liking the new Tegomass song. It's called 'ƒAƒCƒAƒCŽP', (Ai Ai Kasa) which is like...2 people sharing an umbrella. random name, ne? XD I'm trying to find the meaning behind it right now. And apparently, it's something that Japanese school kids do. They draw an umbrella and on one side write their name, and the other side, their crushes. But, what it's supposed to do, I still have no idea. But from what I heard...it's...(�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! Anywho, it's the new ending theme for the anime Neo Angelique Abyss. Maybe, I'll watch it...but highly unlikely. Their ballads always make me smile.


Anywho, back to studying for CIS! Sorry for the random spammage? XD

April 7, 2008

Because I'm a teensy bit bored, and I feel like taking time off from my studying, just a little...well, actually, I'm in the midst of studying for philosophy. �›(�†�Í�…)�› But, whatever.

I came across one of the wackiest CMs I've ever seen: Lawson Well, firstly, I only came across it because NEWS is in it. (�¿�K�Í�M�¿)·¬„ª„ª¯!! But, we already knew that. haha. And, I had to make a special post, because tomorrow's a special day. 0409. It's considered a bad luck number or something. 4 is ‚æ‚ñ�@or ‚µ, 9 is ‚«‚ã�@or�@‚­. ‚µ = death, the kanji for ‚­ is used for pain and other pain related happenings. Therefore, the Japnaese consider those numbers bad luck. But, in Yamapi's case, ‚µ is used in ‚µ‚ ‚킹, which is happiness. The ‚æ�@in the ‚æ‚ñ�@is used in ‚æ‚낱‚Ñ, which is joy. ‚­‚é�@means to come or coming, and therefore he believes that it means happiness is coming. So, yes, why am I talking so much about what 0409 stands for? It's obvious...maybe a little? April 9th is Yamapi's birthday. Which, is tomorrow in Japan. Therefore, I decided to make a small post...Maybe tomorrow...I'll post more stuff, who knows.



The CM is total crack. First is Yamapi that comes out with his face painted trying to catch some bird, then Shige and Kei-chan trying to catch fish. Massu trying to pick up a snake..and what colors are these animals? (�„�Í�ƒ) Massu after realizing it's a snake quickly, and gently puts it back down and says a quite "genki ne". �i�O�Í�O�j Afterwards, we see a somewhat stuck Tesshi in a coconut tree, and everyone going to Lawson. And, when they come back with kaarage to the tree, Tesshi's still stuck there! So much crack in 30 seconds. Oh yeah, and I'm totally sorry about the horrible caps. I blame the video clip for being bad quality in the first place.






These are just random things I felt like posting. I'm sure...if I posted more, people would hit me. �™�Ü(�„�B�á)ƒCƒ^ƒC I'd sing happy birthday, but, that'd be a teensy-bit embarrassing. So till later...

April 6, 2008

To be honest, I can't remember the past few days. XD Yesterday, was full-out studying all day. Though, I stil woke up around 8-ish, had a nice brunch at around 10:30 and didn't eat dinner till 5:30.

Friday was interesting because Angela had thought it was Saturday. (�„�Í�ƒ) I was in my room studying for the better half of the day. 1:30 was my philosophy clas and I went really early, accidentally. So, that was the last philosophy class. o(*�P�[�P)�Z Then, I called Angela to find out she'd still been asleep. I went with Pojing to the UC to lok at the book sale, and ended up buying a book. To give Angela the philosophy book, I called her out and she suggested lunch.

Today is church and then toonie lunch...and then...finishing with studying for CIS. XD Or at least, that's the plan. Though, throughout my studying, these past few days, I've already procrastinated a lot and watched Kanjani8 extras, and the Proposal Daisakusen SP. I'll probably post up stuff later about it once I get the chance.

OH! I was gonna say that was it, but I shall talk about all the nice dramas coming out next week/April. XD
1) Last Friends - mostly I'm watching this because of Ryo-chan. Well, actually, I'm watching this only because of Ryo-chan. XD
2) Zettai Kareshi - Becase it's one of my favorite manga of all time! XD I couldn't wait, and therefore bought it when I was in Japan....though, the drama I'm somewhat already a little disappointed, from the actors they chose to play the characters
3) Hokaben - It's Shige, what more can be said? haha
4) Osen - Because Uchi's in it. >.<"

There's lots more coming out in April, like...Gokusen 3, and Puzzle. But, I don't know. Gokusen and Gokusen 2 were good, Gokusen being the first one, and Gokusen 2 having Kame and Jin. I guess it's just not all that grabbing, when I don't have someone acting that I like, to look forward to. Though....it does seem two B.A.D. members are going to be in it. ^^"

Yay! It's a longer post now. XD Anywho, I'll talk about something more useful next time, perhaps. ‚�(¡�†„D�…¡)‚� Like...my ride home. Who'd thought first year would come to an end so fast ne? I mean, my exams end on Friday, and I'm already going back to Edmonton for the summer on the 13th! It's so soon! Let's just I can concentrate on studying till then. 0(>_<)0

April 2, 2008

Ever tell a secret you didn't mean to tell? Like...mmm...for me, it's my own secret - i.e., the guy I currently like. haha. Apparently, I'm really obvious/predictable or something, because Angela guessed it so easily. (�¿�K�Í�M�¿) I usually don't tell people who I know the people that I like, just because, I don't like feeling bad when I get turned down. mmhmmm...like for Shawn last November. And, letting people know that I'm depressed because I get turned down, makes me feel worse, than people not knowing that that's the case.

Vanessa, Pojing, and Angela were over to copy notes for Materials & Techniques, and so, were here till like...5:30-ish. Then, Pojing went home, and the rest of us decided to go to dinner at Prairie. And, when we came back to my room was when they talked about Vince, and when I accidentally said that I liked this guy, ne?

If anyone actually were to find out though....I'm pretty sure I'd be quickly booted out of the house I'm living in next year. o(�†�Þ�…)o I know for one thing, that Ian was the one that asked me whether or not I wanted to live with them next year. But the guy I like - we'll call him J for now, he's the one who contacted the landlord for me about housing, and stuff like that. I'm not sure if there's any meaning behind it....but, he's him after all. One thing that's true, I barely know him. All I know is that he's Christian, and he does those army or navy training things. But, that's really all there is to that, ne? (�Ü�[�Ü)É Lately, all we talk about is housing for next year though. And he laughed at me because I chose the room that has more light during the day, but has no closet. *sigh*

Mmmm..I guess that's it. (*�LƒÍ`*)=3 I should go and study for my final tomorrow. It's Materials & Techniques for my LA course. Hopefully, I'l do well. I'm not doing all that well in this class. (�†„D�…)ƒm ‚ª‚ñ‚΂è‚Ü‚·�I

April 1, 2008

It started off being a bad day, since:
1) it was raining
2) Lise's project was due today
3) today is April Fool's.

April Fool's. I've never once ever had anyone do anything to me on April Fool's. And, today, it's to the whole alcove, and everyone that uses our bathroom. Because, the condition it's in, no one can use it.
1) the bathroom stall is locked from the inside. The opening at the bottom, is way to smal for me to go under and open. Believe me, I am not crawling on the bathroom floors, that's just plain gross.
2) All the shower curtains in the bathroom went missing. That's, we have two showers, and another shower curtain that kinda divides the showering area to the rest of the area.

Anywho, I went upstairs this morning, and crazy...that it's so much cleaner than our bathroom. haha. Even the shower curtains are really nice. Anywho, he maintenance guy was vacuuming till about 11, when I went to take a shower upstairs. Oh yeah! After class, seeing everyone else's drawing look so much more colorful than mine, I went back to res with my project, and colored for about an hour. haha.

And, I just handed it in a few minutes ago, and just got back from handing it in. THat's really it. It's sunny right now, and that's nice, because it was raining not too long ago.

For lack of better words, Kat is stupid! (*´ο`*)=3 Firstly, pimples annoy me. haha. Secondly, somehow, I randomly deleted "My Documents" folder on my laptop, and I couldn't get it back. So, I spent about an hour or two, trying to remember what those things were, get them from various places, and replace them, I suppose.

This morning, I went to church. After service, there was house parties. Me and Tiffany, and Lindsay ended up going to the church librarian's house. (⌒∇⌒) They're super cool! haha Mm...mostly the beginning was us introducing ourselves to them, and them introducing themselves. They're both retired, and so they both have an agent and they act as extras in movies, shows, and CMs. Awesome-ness. haha. They even showed us two clips of them...mmm...One was The Border?...But anyways, he's in episode 10. Ev was in it, which, you can tell really well, because he's....pretty much bald, and the only one in the group that wears a grey suit.

Anywho, enough about that. Once they drove us home, I was dropped off first, since I was the only one that lived on campus. And then, I went back to res, and pretty much worked a little more on my project for just a little longer and then my dad came on, and I talked to him for a little bit, and then was when I randomly delted the freakin' folder! 。゜（＞д＜）゜。　ぅぇ〜ん Yup, that's pretty much it, don't want to say anymore, or think about that anymore....or I'll be sad.

Yup, I probably won't make another one of these...for a while...probably rest of summer will be text...and more text. ^^"

Half of what I said, was already talked about really in the last post....but I felt like I had to do this. XD

March 25, 2008

I've been working crazy all day. I'm extremely tired, and unfortunately, I can't even go to sleep because there's a tower meeting tonight at 10:15. (*´ο`*)=3 Anywho, I woke up this morning at 8:00, got out of bed, and the first thing I thought was, "Crap! I need to pack stuff". Tomorrow my aunt's coming up from brantford, and Mr.CNS is helping me move my stuff to his place, which is my place next year. Mmmm....so, I packed and packed till 8:40 rushed to class, and still got there early.

After class, I went to print stuff/photocopy stuff in studio, and then left with Angela and got breakfast. After breakfast, I did laundry, showered, and worked through projects. Yup, I'm pretty proud of how much I've accomplished in a matter of hours. Of course, while doing my project, my motivation was watching Dragon Zakura at the same time. haha.
Note to self:
1. notes that explain the exisiting/new growing conditions
2. notes that explain planting design goals
3. notes that explain the design concept expressing the needs for functional and aesthetic requirements.

At least...I'll remember that, I think. ＼（── 。 ──）DOMO♪ I was really worried about Karen's project, because I hadn't started it, and it's due next week. But, seeing how things are going, it seems I might be able to finish it Thursday at the latest, if I keep the pace I'm going at. Yesterday, after ACF, Ian asked me if I wanted to live with them, and I quickly agreed a few hours later. Stephen asked me if I could help them (which is him and two other 2nd years) to put together a slideshow for the grad night which is actually next Monday. And, I agreed. On Saturday, I'm helping Mr.CNS with the Iron Chef event, and so from 4-10pm, I'm going to be running around, it seems. ε-(´・｀) ﾌｰ I'm...exhausted just from thinking about it.

My friends thought I was crazy when they:
1. Realized I was almost done with most of my projects
2. Found out that I'm living with three guys next year
Angela was like, "OMG! Is that safe?" haha. Yes, it is, ne? And when I asked my dad about it, and he gave such a quick positive reply....工工エエｴｴェェｪｪｪヽ(ﾟДﾟ;)ﾉﾞｪｪェェｴｴエエ工工....haha. (◎-◎；) ビクッ Anywho...I still have to pay for summer...so, I'm gonna try subletting (which I said last time), hopefully, someone will want a room that's unfurished.

Though, I'm wishing my left hand would stop hurting...

March 24, 2008

Yup...it's been a while, ne? ^^" Today, I had school, unlike a lot of other schools. And, it's cold outside, even though my room is scorching hot! >.<" Anywho, lately, it's been me going ....ARGH! Projects! and...OMG! I'm gonna be homeless next year. haha. Luckily, I'm almost done with one project (one more to go)...and housing for next year is pretty much settled. I just can't feel guilty that I'm leaving Aisha out on a limb, and I think Deb and Jenn are happy that I bailed. Because, if I didn't, they wouldn't get their 12 month lease, which they want. They would've let her stay, if she wanted a 12 month lease too. *sigh*. Anywho, I ended up talking it out with Mr.CNS, and asking him what he thought, and I told him that I feel 75% more comfortable talking to Ian and Jon, compared to Deb and Jenn. All he said, "Interesting". Not my fault, I find it easier talking to guys...And so...the result is me deciding to live in a house with three guys next year, and I'm left needing to sublet for the summer.

I guess I didn't think it through when I told them. Of course, Aisha and Angela seem worried for me. XD I told them, I'm living with three guys next year. ^^" When I told my dad, he's like, why didn't you say yes already? That surprised me, of course. But, it's the fact that they're members of ACF too, and that I talk to them all the time, that my dad agreed so quickly, I think. I trust them, and he does too. But, apparently, Aisha and Angela don't. Angela even wanted to live with me there if it was possible so that it'd be safe for me! haha. I'll be fine, ne? At least, I won't have to worry about calling Jun over to kill a random spider-y fly-y thing-y, and make him walk all the way from East to South....haha, and now I get personal bug killers right in the house. ^^" Yup...*sigh* I really need to get back on track and finish all my work, cause things seem to just keep piling up, and I'm getting busier and busier for the last few weeks.

My decisions always seem so sudden...

Yes, I should learn to consistently post. XD Hai, gomen, ne. ^^" I just got a project assigned today, and I'm rushing to get it done before Friday comes. Why? Friday's special of course, it's Good Friday. Sunday's Easter. This means...long weekend, well, 3-day weekend. But, anywho, I'm going to go to Toronton for the weekend, since my aunt invited me. And, I'm excited! I haven't seen my cousin for a while. And, I guess I'll have to worry about the hyper active dog - Rocky, but, that's okay.

Anywho, I'm rushing to get projects done. I'm surprised at the fact that even though I'm rushing, I still have the time to continue watching my Shokura episodes that I have. haha. Which reminds me. I wanted to cap the Shokura eps that I've been continually watched over and over and over again. Well, because I was watching the Shokura episode for the NEWS Summer Special (08.05.2007) and Tegomass sang Kiss ~Kaerimichi no LOVE SONG~, and so, I tracked down the PV which I had in one of my CDS, and capped it, the best I could.


Nee...not much to say about the PV. XD But, we can see how kind they seem to be, ne? ^^" Of course, to me it's like, they seem pretty innocent. But, Tegoshi! XD That's when I remember the Hey!Hey!Hey! episode where Ryo mentions using Tesshi's laptop during the tour and finding a folder on there that said "lyrics I wrote" and finding...haha, amazing lyrics.

And...I should be counting down the days, for how many days are left until I get to go back home. I remember....when I left CT, and I moved to Edmonton, I kept telling people, I'm from Norwalk, CT. And now, I just keep telling people I'm from Edmonton. Well, I guess it's true after all. I don't think I'll be visiting CT any time soon in the near future. There's no point, ne? On the other hand, I am still anticipating a trip to Japan in the near future. ^^" OH yeah! And Jun's going to Japan this summer again! LUCKY! hah. I'm probably gonna make him buy me stuff again. >.<" And, he's not allowed to say I'm not allowed to pay again....

Today, after my philosophy class, I had the intention of going to the library to print and photocopy, by all the computers on all 5 floors were occupied, and there were even long lines lining up to them. *sigh*. SO, I walked over to the LA building hoping to use the lab, but the computer I sat at couldn't connect to the printer. And the computer that could print was used by a second year girl that was working on a project. So, I made my way over to the basement of the UC where the Design and Print was. This Asian guy was working...usually it's the Korean guy...."Where'd he go!? XD" Anywho, assuming this Asian guy was an ESL student, I gave him my stuff one at a time. I had to get my tree detail photocopied, and then print out my plane itinery thing so I could give it to Prairie Desk along with the filled out form for residence extension. Anywho, when I wanted to pay, the guy's like, "It's okay, don't worry about it." *sigh*

Yup,I guess that's my day in a nut shell, ne? ^^"

March 15, 2008

I totally didn't talk about what yesterday was - White Day. I'm sure I talked about what White Day was...on Valentine's.　But, White Day's supposed to be the day where the guy gives the thank you gift to the girl who gave chocolates to him on Valentine's. I don't know. I think I'm the only one who finds Japanese customs extremely　interesting. Why don't they have stuff like this in western culture?　I totally missed it without knowing it seems...It was also Pi day. haha. The...3.14 one. （＞∀＜) I laughed when I read on a NEWS comm that they'd mistaken "pi" for "Yamapi".

A random thought: People seem to like plugging our toilet. *sigh* Well, I've been busy the past two days working on two LA projects. One of them, I have to come up with a design concept for a mini-park, and then the other one is drawing a detail of a tree in a concrete pathway. I'm pretty much done, and that makes me happy...Lately, I've been thinking about what exactly university is for. Like...for regular people...like...if they're in science, they have to learn all this stuff that they don't need right? Like, if you're a doctor, later on in life, you don't need all that you've learned, cuz you can obtain that information with an easily accessible book that could be on the bookshelf. So, when I talked to my dad the other day, and told him, I felt my program was easier because I don't have to take as many exams as anyone else, he told me that it was a good thing. Especially since I shouldn't have to take exams for my program. I guess, it does make sense...especially since the classes in LA program are marked harder than other normal classes, and we have a totally different grading scheme. （　´∀｀）;

I had a long talk with my dad about why Japanese people like westerners. haha. I had asked him why this was the case, because Jun asked me that, while he wanted to find his roots. haha. Why was he even asking me, ne? He's the Japanese one, not me.

I've been on another Shounen Club frenzie...watching random episodes...Yes, I should really study. （〇＞＿＜）...and read those Philosophy readings...I would've capped and talked about the X'mas episode that I keep watching over and over and over again...but it's subbed, and I'd probably only talk about it for a few seconds. haha, In other words, it'd be very short, ne? And, I'm sure I'm the only one who'll find talking about Yamapi interesting, and all the readers will get bored. lol.

But, what can I say about him, that I haven't already? His voice is extremely unique. Perhaps, he isn't the best singer in the world, but his voice is deep, that you can't seem to help yourself but to want to listen in. At least....that's what I think. So what if he can't smile in photoshoots and for pictures. ^^" Sadly he didn't get to graduate in March though. (*´ο`*)=3 Seems he's 4 or 6 credits short of graduation ne...hopefully in September he'll get to graduate then.

Luckily, yesterday, I got the good news. Yes, I'm still homeless next year. But...We got placed on the waiting list for on-campus residence, which means I was able to withdraw my residence application without having to forfeit $100. 本当に嬉しいよ！

I was talking to my dad last night...(yes, I talked for a very long time last night...) and I asked him why people always ask me for advice. I'm a person that has no experience whatsoever when it comes to love, or finding the so-called perfect match. Though, I've always believed in the "love at first sight", or at least, that's what I tell myself, when I realize that I'm still single. haha. That, and, the fact that I watch way way too many dramas which makes it harder for myself to find someone I like. I've got too many expectations, and in the end, all they'll ever be will be expectations...broken expectations? 。゜(つω｀）゜。

Yesterday, I totally spazzed and was seriously freaked out for a good hour or so....Let's put it this way, open window + spider-y/fl-y/thing-y. XD I was about to close my window when I saw it sitting on the handle. Then, it just kept crawling up my window. I totally freaked out, closed my balcony door, and kind of just watched it for a good 30 minutes or so, telling Angela and Jun how scared I was. And then, I tried hitting it with a newspaper, but that only got it stuck between my window, and my window...and then I sprayed Lysol at it...and then the thing fell...

And then, I didn't see it moving much...but it certainly was still alive. Jun was freaking me out, that by spraying Lysol at it, if it doesn't die, it would get really pissed. So, he came over from East all the way to South and helped me get rid of it. XD

Today...I went to class, got another project, and then when I walked out of the LA building, there was a LOT of people walking towards the UC. It's campus days..so, lots of families that have someone wanting to attend uni next year came to visit..because it's today and tomorrow, I believe. haha. I went back to res, took a shower..mmm...

oh! Mr.CNS was on MSN and asked me if I'd wanted to go to Walmart with him. I agreed. So, I met up with him at 1, got into his car, and then, we went to Walmart, Foodbasic, the gas station, and then Future Shop. I forgot I didn't give him anything for his birthday...which was a few days ago. >.<" I wonder if I should still..hm...Anywho, that's pretty much all for today. (⌒∇⌒)ﾉ""ﾏﾀﾈｰ!!

Pretty uneventful day. I totally freaked out last night because I thought it'd snow like a crazy amount more. But, it was only..a teensy bit more. Anywho...I woke up around 8:15, got up, went to class. We did pin-ups from the design charette, and then at 9:30, she said she wanted us to spend an hour in studio developing ideas for the design concept that we have to bring to class on Monday.

So, me, Pojing, and Aisha decided to go to the BullRing and get hot chocolate...sat there till we had to meet up again in the LA Building at 10:45 for Lise to show us a kind of slideshow of different parks and different ideas to add to our developed ideas. Yeah...it's a lot harder than it seems. *sigh*

After that, I went to studio to look at the LASS 08-09 sign-up sheets for positions, and signed up for Tech Support. XD No one signed up, and I always get mad at the people who are in charge of it because the plotter is always blinking saying that it needs toner. *sigh* and I couldn't print a base plan for the site...anywho...that's what I signed up for, and hopefully, I can do that, cuz, it sounds fun...in some ways, I guess. It sounds more like a guy's job, doesn't it? haha. Anywho, there's my boring day in a nut shell. ^^"

I can't understand why designing clothes comes more easily than landscapes...

March 11, 2008

I was sitting in my room, doing nothing! I had nothing to do today. And as bad as it sounds, I was even hoping my prof would give us some project or something. *sigh* Went back to res around 10:40ish, took a shower..talked to Jun and Mr.CNS online...and then I ate lunch. TT-TT I'd asked Mr.CNS to come with me when searching for houses...like the appointments. Apparently, my dad's not paranoid that I'll get ripped off or anything like that, he's just afraid that 6:40pm at night is too late for me to be out alone. Anywho, that appointment was cancelled, so I don't have to worry about that anymore. Hopefully, we'll be able to live in the place Aisha's living right now...which is $450 a month. It's not bad...especially since it's right across the street from campus.

（＞∀＜) Well, it seems I'm the so-called 'smart one'. Around...1:45 I think, Angela calls my res phone, which I'm just sitting next to, since I have nothing to do. （　´∀｀）; And tells me that her and Vanessa are clueless for the Sketch-up assignment which is due tomorrow. Their workshop wasn't until yesterday, so they're crunched for time. I went over to the LA building where they were and helped them till about now, helping them build their houses and roofs..and all that, winging it a little to make things work. But, I'm only good at these kind of programs because I'm used to Revit which is a lot more sophisticated. haha. But, it was fun to help, I guess. When I got there, they were asking me about this L-shaped house that needed a hip roof. And, because I'd posted my three sketch-up drawings on facebook, they were looking at the pictures as reference. haha. That made me laugh. Yup, that's pretty much for today, I don't think I'm gonna do anything eventful...maybe I'll go read my Wink Up magazine...

March 7, 2008

Well, lately, all I've been doing is translating things, and watching videos. I need a new hobby ne? XD I went to the mall this morning with Angela, so she could return something, and then later us going grocery shopping. Eh...just a little. Then, we went back to the mall to eat lunch. And,me, not wanting to each much, and being a cheapo, shared lunch with her. haha. Haven't heard from my parents yet...and I'm worried. I want my package with my Taiyou no Namida single, and my weeeek single...>.<" Anywho, that's all for now, the small post. ^^"

March 6, 2008

I went a little image-happy again...At least I'm only talking about the trailer, and not the actual movie, ne? It comes out tomorrow ne...those lucky people in Japan that get to watch it. And...I have to wait til the raw comes out....or perhaps even an illegal copy. Perhaps, I'll be a good girl, and wait till it's officially out, and then go to Calgary to buy it. （〇＞＿＜） That's...technically, just as bad, but, at least, I'm not ilegally watching, just illegally buying, since it's a bootleg.



So, yup, Yamapi in Kurosagi dorama turned movie coming out March 8, 2008. It had bad ratings from critics already. Most of the time if doramas are turned into movies, they aren't all that good, supposedly. But....who can blame Yamapi...or Maki-chan. After all, there's a lot of veteran actors in there too. If anyone's to be blamed for the possibility of it being a bad movie, then shouldn't the director/story writer be blamed? (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! Yamapi! Too be honest, I only wrote this post because I'm psyched to get my package in the mail tomorrow. And then my Taiyou no Namida LE single! ＼(▽￣＼(￣▽￣)／￣▽)／ﾔｯﾀｧｰ!! I can't wait to go back home on April 13th.

March 6, 2008

It seems my updates are becoming less and less about me. XD And sorry, because this update...is really really Image heavy...Anywho...

Tokyo Friend Park II - Kurosagi Promotion
Summary/Translation
It starts the way all the shows start, with the members coming out on a rollercoaster like thing, and giving a short summary of what they're promoting, in this case - Kurosagi.


First Event is WALL CRASH! Yamapi goes first, and cleared. Sho-san goes second, and falls. They give him a second chance, and he clears. Yes, he's very happy he got a clear. And the hosts say, they can go one more time, and we can see Sho-san nudging Yamapi. Yamapi goes again, and clears. ^^"


Second Event, DELISOBA GOLD. Sho-san starts by driving the motorcycle, and Yamapi, holding the boxes. Beforehand, taking off his sweater, and everyone in the crowd going kyaaaaaa~. So, one of the hosts tries it too, and the crowd goes kyaa~. Yes, so Sho-san, is very bad at driving the motorcycle game...and keeps crashing into things, making Yamapi and him have to pick up the boxes. And, when his time ends, and Yamapi has to make up for it, he tries his best, but wasn't able to clear. I think the hosts were making fun of the two, Sho-san for not using the brake at all, and Yamapi for using the brake too much. XD


Third Event, STOPPER CUBRIDGE. What can I say? This is the first time I've ever seen anyone so good at it. XD Then again...I've only seen four episodes of Tokyo Friend Park, and only three out of the four times, was this event in the show. The first swings Yamapi and Sho-san do are not all that good. But with Yamapi's second swing, saying "Go....Go...Go" helps. XD And for Sho-san "koko koko koko" (here here here). Yamapi does well on the next swing, but Sho-san's swing afterwards was a miss. Yamapi's like, I'm going to see when you should do it, and then Sho-san swings while Yamapi runs over to the screen. Yamapi makes the next one, and then Sho-san makes it by saying "don don don don don"...eh..we get the point. XD Yamapi ish awesome-ness. Anywho, for Sho-san's last swing, the two walk over to the screen to see when he should swing. And, they clear. They celebrate, and one of the hosts makes fun of Sho-san again, that he was asking Yamapi what he should do. Then they realize they can play the game again and at the last move, the host makes fun of them again, and asks them whether they should go over to the screen together again. They clear again.


Fourth Event, QUIZ! BODY & BRAIN. Out of the 8 questions, they have to get 4 right. Sho-san answers the question first, because thinks it'll be faster to get to clear that way. I'm not exactly sure what "zatouichi" is, but I'm guessing it's a title name. Mmm...I didn't pay much attention to Sho-san's questions. When Yamapi gets to the mike, the host says something along the lines of "Next month, you're planning to graduate from Meiji University." Then, there's cheers from the crowd. "Wait, Wait....sorry, just planning."

Question 1: Name four Japanese people who went to space. (at least, I think that's what they asked...)
He likes Hawaii, goes surfing...
Question 2: Name 4 islands in Hawaii.
Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Oahu
With this next question, he says "eh?" in quite a cute voice. XD
Question 3: Name 5 characters from Dragon Ball that win and have honorary titles? (...I think...)
Yamucha, Trunks, Vegeta, Piccolo, Toubaibai/??? (Gomen, I'm not familiar with DBZ, so, I'm not sure who that is.)



The Last Event, HYPER HOCKEY. Mmm...quite self explanatory. Yamapi takes off his sweater again, and the crowd goes kyaaa~...and the host takes off his jacket again. XD Anywho, they clear, Yamapi does a funny "Yay!" dance.


Then it goes to the darts part, BIG CHALLENGE - where they throw darts onto the wheel to try to win the prizes they've asked for. For Sho-san, it's fishing gear, and camping goods. For Yamapi, it's a bed and RUSS-K surfboard and wet suit. Yamapi mentions that he needs a new bed because his old bed that he's had since high school is not very good. And, then he tries it, and sits on the bed. XD Yamapi takes four of the darts, and Sho-san takes 3. Yamapi's first dart - fishing gear. Sho-san's first dart - bed. Yamapi's second shot - tawashi (the cleaning brush thing...I don't know how else to explain it. It's that thing in Kanjani8's new Wahhaha PV that they keep playing around with. XD) Sho-san's second dart - Surfing gear. Yamapi's third shot - fishing gear again. Sho-san's third dart - tawashi. Yamapi's fourth shot - got into between bed and tawashi, and it was called tawashi. Sho-san's last dart - tawashi. They both ended up with two tawashi.


Yeah...I'm not sure if this is helpful at all (because, most of it you can get by without knowing anything. Sorry about the image heaviness of this post. Hope it's useful to somebody. XD but It's just to give a general idea what was going on. Eck..if it's not helpful, I hope the caps are alright. I kinda went a little image happy, when I realized I could use my KMPlayer to cap videos. XD

March 5, 2008

OMG. NEWS on Utaban = crack. （＞∀＜) Tegoshi trying out his モノマネ (imitation of something) everywhere he goes ne...Last I remember was him on Hey!Hey!Hey! doing his モノマネ of Terminator 2 (I think) last scene, and then モノマネ of some Princess Mononoke song or something....on the next episode Hey!Hey!Hey!...and then Utaban, he does モノマネ of his senpai、マッチさん. Well..like I said, crack. And, NEWS on Utaban? haha. Well, this is where we see how cool Yamapi is after all. He can't do the モノマネ　that every NEWS　member had to do one by one. First Tegoshi, then Masuda, Shige, and Koyama, who's voice cracked, then Yamapi who kinda gave up, and Ryo who's voice was....just funny.

They had to say "オァイッ！ナァニやってんだョタメッ!" Pretty much, "Hey you! What the hell are you doing?!" But they say it so strange...that their voices pretty much all crack...and Yamapi...スゲーカッコイ！ Later he's asked why he didn't do it properly, and he says it's because he hates things like this　（何か　こういうの　キライ　なんズよね　チョット。。。） (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!!

Shige make me laugh. Uh, that's really all I can say. Ah, and Massu's laugh, makes me laugh, cuz he really does the Japanese フゥフゥフゥフゥフゥウ。。。

I wonder if the picture gives it away...or not. （＞∀＜） Firstly, Shige acts bored at the beginning of the game. But when they get to the part (which is the third part of the game called イケてるポース対決！ [Cool Pose Showdown!]) where a person from each team, will have to do 5 poses. And every three seconds, the sound of a shutter will sound. Anywho, Koyama tells Shige to give an example. Shige, not sure what to do, starts posing...and starts stripping in the process. And going to his belt, Koyama and Nakamaru, a few members of NEWS behind him, and some of the juniors run around him to hide him. One of them says, "This is NHK!"
Nakamaru: Showing off your top half is okay, but anything lower you can't do.
Koyama: You're in NEWS!
Shige: (taking Koyama's mike) I thought, since Yamapi was nude, I thought it'd be okay for me too.

Eh, that phrase made me laugh, Koyama laughed, and we see in the background, Yamapi a bit embarrassed. （＞∀＜） Ah, of course, that's a reference to Yamapi's An-an photoshoot.


What we've realized from this ワッハッハー　PV? 間ジャニ8 really are quite funny, and Ryo-chan can be cute with expressions when he wants to be. And, he is quite different from when he's with NEWS. A big difference. In NEWS, he's just cool, and when Ryo-chan's with 間ジャニ8, he acts cute. Eh...I wonder if that makes any sense...I was gonna take more screencaps of show the crack better than I　can with caps. ┐(￣ー￣)┌　


And, I think that's enough ranting about stuff I've been watching this week. I should re-talk about Tokyo Friend Park. Since, I finally figured out how to cap videos, I'm extremely happy. φ(￣▽￣*) I've been trying myself occupied as of late...besides for the fact that I've got a midterm on Friday, there's other stuff I've been trying to not think about, and rather forget. And...I guess that's all for now. That's enough crack for a day. That was post off....nothing-ness and ranting-ness...Yes, I am amazed at how much work I get done. (⌒∇⌒)ﾉ""ﾏﾀﾈｰ!!

*sigh* I woke up late this morning...around 7:58, and that's still considered early, since my class doesn't start till 9. XD Anywho, I got up, did the usual things, and then went over to the LA building to realize, my prof wasn't even there, and that class was cancelled because her husband had a doctor's appointment. *sigh* Anywho, I need to go back over there around 4-ish to hand in my planting design assignment.

In the mean time, around 9:30, I got back to my dorm and started the Sketch-Up Assignment that's due on Thursday. And, I'm officially done (excluding the printing) now, 11:58. XD SO, I thought, I might as well show what I did...


Yup, I guess that's it for now...besides for me obsessing over watching 間ジャニ８'s ワッハッハー PV over and over..because Ryo's expressions are priceless...even though they're all playing with たくさんたわし. (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! The side of him you don't see in NEWS.

It's definitely one of my favorite 間ジャニ８ songs now. XD YAY ^^" *Sigh*...but non-stop, I might not like it tomorrow...XD

It's been a while since I've updated..ごめんね。。。I've been busy with my planting design project, as well as for studying my philosphy second midterm which is on Friday. Sometimes...I just wish things could be pushed back some more. But if that were the case, then, wouldn't that mean, I wouldn't get to go back to Edmonton at the beginning of April? I'm already going home early because I'm lucky enough to finish all my exams in the first week.

Currently, I'm trying my best to wash away my worries, with watching Tokyo Friend Park. Actually...that's just today. XD After a morning of sitting in the LA building with my laptop on a dying battery, and sitting through a Sketch-up Workshop...for 3 hours or so...*sigh* Anywho...now we've got an assignment due on Thursday.

Two things I've been watching too much lately? Mmm...The Shounen Club, and えっと。。。anything　山ピー. (∩゜∀｀∩)ｷｬ━━ｯ!! There's always the good and bad things to that. Like, the good thing is being able to find all these videos, and watching them....enjoying it. 本当に楽しそうですから。。。そして、山ピーが本当にかこいよ！

Lately, I've been trying to study my Japanese, with online かんじ worksheets. It's hard to study with them, especially since they're all pretty much the same かんじ's over and over again, the ones that I've already learned throughout my three years of highschool...and it's just easy. 。゜（＞д＜）゜。　ぅぇ〜ん I need the hard, complicated かんじ's, that I can't read or understand. Perhaps, I should try to find Chinese learning tools instead, cuz that'll probably be easier.

EDIT:

Just because...it's the most awesome thing I've ever seen before...


NEWS 2008 School Calendar (APR-2008-MAR-2009)(Japan Version)
It's..$39.45 CAD (on Yesasia) and comes with a large poster. Too expensive for me. >.<" I'll just have to look at the pretty pictures people post up, for now. ^^" 2000 yen...about $18.19 CAD on cdjapan.co.jp. But their shipping is so expensive (an extra $47.30 CAD)!! See, that's just crazy! That's my little spurt about wanting something can't get. XD I just had my Materials & Techniques midterm this morning, and I really don't feel like really doing anything else right now...even though I've got that project to due...and it's sitting rolled out on my floor right now. XD I have to meet someone in a few minutes too...

You can't always get what you want...

To be honest, I'm really excited about getting Taiyou no Namida LE [single] in the mail. XD Though...it only shipped out today, and I don't get it till I get back to Edmonton in April...but to know that it'll arrive at my house...about next week..kyaaaaa~ ^^"

I wanted to get Hoshi wo Mezashite [single] But, because I couldn't find a Limited Edition version, I didn't bother to get it, and got Weeeek [single] instead. And then, after wanting to get it, I found the DVD someone subbed and uploaded...so, I'm good as far as that. March 7th is so close, yet so far away. So, why am I talking about NEWS? I was looking at the Oricon Chart Rankings, and of course, because today was the release of the single, they're number 1 ^^" Sadly, their sales aren't...all that great though. Weeek was hard to top, it seems.

I think that's pretty much it...besides that...my friends keep asking me out to places...and I keep saying no. In some cases, I feel bad, because I really shouldn't have excuses to not hang out with them. But, in reality, I really do have all this crap that I need to finish! >.<" I guess....I easily feel guilty. Nothing to change that. Mmmm...Let's see, first there was bowling...dinner, retreat, and now movie night. Yeah. I feel bad for saying no. Sometimes I wonder how people have so much time and money to do so many things. Unfortunately, I don't...have either.

Time is precious. Do something before you can't anymore...

Nothing much new. Coming back from the break, means laziness for me. For some reason, I've become really lazy...I mean, I knew I was doing nothing except studying, and then maybe downloading a lot...and then watching videos during the break...but, to come back and try my best to work as much as I can on my planting project is brutal! >.<" Cramming 4 weeks of work into a time period of 4 days..this'll be hard. But, I'll try my best, ne? (^.^)v

Sometimes, I wonder why I tell my parents everything...and then, I realize, it's because I have nothing to hide. There's no reason why I can't tell them everything. Everything that happens, every day....the secret workings inside my brain...even normal people I know, don't know what's going on. Even I don't know what's going on! But...they do.

Mmm...today, I was watching NEWS - Never Ending Wonderful Story (DVD) subbed...I re-downloaded it, because the first time I downloaded it, it was all raw, and just the concert, and the food parts. And, with the new downloaded version it's like the official DVD, except...subbed, with the special documentaries in between. ^^" Makes me happy...Of course, I was working on my planting project while working on it though...like how I watched the raw version when I was making my model. Music helps me work. Which...is why I like working in my room, I can blast my music wthout wearing headphones. XD

Apparently, I go through DVDs really fast. >.<" I can't remember how many I brought to Guelph with me when I came back from winter break, but...I only have one left! �i�Q�f‚`�f�jƒm~~ Well...hopefully, that one disc can last me...the rest of the month? There's only a little more than one month left...believe it or not! ^^" 48 days. I think. I must've counted wrong. XD

After watching the DVD, and, it got to Masuda's Hiroshima part, he made okonomiyaki for the other members. >.<" I really want to eat some Okonomiyaki and takoyaki now. So bad...I even wrote down the recipes for them. XD Well...for okonomiyaki at least...takoyaki is impossible to make by yourself...it's really hard to make. Anywho,

I got back to my dorm from Brass Taps around 10:00, took a shower, and then got to my desk. XD Well...let's see, after the boring-est of Opening Ceremonies ever!!! >.<" I hate to even say, that the guest speaker was from Guelph, or at least Ontario.

Afterwards, it was about 8, and Pojing and Aisha wanted to go get the free drinks...we were going to get ID'd. Pojing goes first, and the guy checks her ID, says it isn't a government issued ID, and it couldn't be used. So they ask her if she's a student at University of Guelph, and which year...she said she was in first year, and I corrected her, saying she's in 2nd year (which she kinda is, it's her 1.5 years) The guy let's her in. Next is me, I tell the guy I don't have ID, and that I won't drink. The guy let's me in, without looking at any ID.

We all get in, Pojing and Aisha get drinks...whatever they are...is it beer? ^^" Anywho...Pojing decides to walk around..and walk around...and then we found out she's watching a billiards game. We grab our stuff, follow her, meet UCONN people. XD I talk to this guy named Paul who, apparently's 22. I told him about me being born in CT. And, then he started talking to me more. haha. Mmm...and Pojing was telling him not to ...hm...what's the word, violate me? ....no, that's not it. something like convert me I think. XD Because she told him I'm only 18, and I'm not allowed to drink, and how I won't drink...well, she was drunk. haha. Anywho...Paul tries to tell me that it's okay that I don't drink, as long as it's personal issues, and not legal issues. XD

I'm like, it's definitely personal morals. And he was trying to tell me that it'd be good for me to at least try to drink at least once. haha. Yeah...I was like...yeah, probably...maybe, just once. But another day. XD I guess I lied there. Anywho...he told me about how when he drinks, it helps him open up, and he told me it didn't seem like I needed it because I seemed like a pretty social person. Eh?! I am? XD I was telling him I'm usually the loner that sits in the corner! XD

After seeing Pojing run off, and then Riley pretty drunk...and him buying her another drink...well, there's only so much I can take...because I tried to pull her away from him, and she wouldn't let me. I left...about....20 minutes after she came back...at least the UCONN guys weren't as freakin' drunk as Riley. >.<" I mean, gawd....Riley's 1st year BLA...but, probably 22. XD Anywho, that's all..for the first day of LABash. I need sleep! 'night! ^^"

Because I've got a little bit of time till I have to go again...I'll give a little summary about what's happened today. I woke up at 6:15 or so, ate breakfast, and got to the UC a little before 8. The volunteering shift is from 8 to 11. So...I got there, followed one of the execs - Veronica around till she got us signs to put at the different booths. We pretty much put up signs for...40 minutes or so, and then helped bring up extremely heavy chairs and boxes. XD

At 9, there was a volunteer meeting (that almost none of the volunteers attended) in the LA building. After that, we headed back to the UC, got the volunteer t-shirts (Yellow), and then pretty much hung around the registration area. XD We helped with arranging the name tags and putting them in order...changing wrong tags with new ones...etc. Eventful. haha.

We walked around the expo a bit, and to the different booths...more than half of them weren't even set up yet. But the art store guy's booth was, so we went to his booth, and were amazed at the prices! I mean...There was a set of really really good markers for only $8! Anywho, the guy gave us candy, and a free pencil and eraser, the Special...architecture kind ones, that are usually still expensive. �i�Q�f‚`�f�jƒm~~ And, so, we'll probably order from them again, as a group to get free shipping. (o�O�`�Oo)É

Afterwards, nearing 11, we waited and waiting till 11:15 or so, because they were having "technical difficulties"...and then registered for LABash officially, got these silkscreened bags, and another T-Shirt (which is like...brown-ish). haha.

Pojing said she was hungry, so we went to the cafeteria in the UC, she got salad, and Aisha got a cinnimon bun, and coffee. XD I just sat there being me, talking and talking. After they finished eating, it was pretty much walking to the different booths, asking stuff...getting information, getting free stuff...yup. XD I got back to my room around...1:30?...or 2:00-ish, I can't rember. Though, I know I ate lunch really late. TT-TT Anywho...I need to head out soon for the LABash Opening Ceremonies at 6. Laterz!

February 20, 2008

I was reading an article today, and it pretty much confirmed my thoughts. Best friends aren't really your 'friends', if you can't tell them everything. So, "If you have alot of things you can't say to a friend, you can't really call that relationship a friendship, right?" And again, I guess they can't really be your best friend, if they can't tell you anything, ne? ^^" I've been thinking that a lot lately...especially with my inability to communicate with a lot of people I use to know.

Firstly, there's France, who randomly stopped talking to me around November. Pretty much all my good 'friends' from Edmonton I've lost contact with. I'm assuming Linh's just extremly busy with Engg, and extremely stressed. I remember her saying before she said she'd cut herself off from internet the rest of the semester, that she didn't do too well on exams? *sigh* Well, I don't know. I just feel as though....everything's different now.

In reality, the people I tell everything to? Hmm..currently, it's Angela. XD Surprising, I'd say. Especially since I'm always ranting about how she skips class, and how she likes to shop too much...But she really is currently, one of my best friends. ^^" Perhaps, it's the factor, that I see her pretty much every day...along with Pojing and Aisha. XD We're always together, us four.

I'd hate to see what will happen to us after these four years in Guelph. TT-TT It seems, I'm one that can't hold onto friendships all too long. I remember...yesterday, or perhaps it was the day before yesterday, Angela was telling me about how she wants me at her wedding, and that she'd sneak into mine, whether I'd like it or not. haha. But, I told her she'd be invited anyways, and she wouldn't have to sneak in. �O�|�O�j�l�i�O�|�O When I was saying these things...I couldn't help but think back to..the last few days at Ainlay. I was filling out Linh's journal thing - 10 pages full of writing/drawing...and the last few pages, were a little sappy. I told her the same thing, about how I wanted her to be at my wedding. XD And, these days, I just wonder to myself, if that'll ever happen. I'm sure I'll be just like Auntie Noel (who..isn't my actual aunt) who still isn't married at 33.

I'm the kind of person, that tells my parents pretty much everything. And, when I use their money, I tell them what I buy....afterwards, I feel slightly guilty. That's partially the reason I'm getting a job in the summer. Of course my dad knows nothing of my fandom though, so I can't tell him I bought two posters, two magazines, and a drama all just when I got back to Guelph in January. XD But, For all those, I did use my own money, from my own account. Which...is another reason why I'm getting a job in the summer, to get back the money I used, and not feel so guilty about using my own money. �i�„�Í�ƒ)

"When you start something new there is always a worry and a heavy feeling. But that's only for a moment."

Apparently, I hurt my wrist doing nothing. XD How does that happen ne? ^^" It started hurting on Saturday, when my aunt and uncle came up from Brantford to take me out to dinner in Cambridge...and we went to a buffet. I pick up a plate with my left hand, and for some strange reason, my wrist was numb, and I could pick it up, but felt like it would drop, so I took it with my right hand instead. I didn't think anything of it....'cause I thought I was just tired or something.

eh?! Now that I think about it...could it have been from Thursday night badminton?! I wouldn't be surprised...I always get sore afterwards...hmm...But it's only strange 'cause I rarely use my left hand a lot when I play badminton...Because if it was nothing that was the cause, that's when I'd be scared. �i�@�L��M�j;

The last few days, I've been doing assignments, studying, reading fanfics, taking pictures, drawing, listening to music, watching videos, or reading Japanese magazines. XD This is really an opportunity for me to finish Da Vinci Code. But I have no will! XD I mean...I started it at the beginning of the year, and somewhere near the middle...I just couldn't continue. >.<"

Surprisingly, I can still type with only extremely minor pains. XD It's probably because I don't actually have to move my wrist to type, ne? mmm...what I realized...everything I write is what my dad considers "thinking out loud"...for me, that's another word for "ranting". XD


I bought these assuming I'd have time to actually read them. XD When I got the first two, all I did was look at the pictures once I got them. �i�„�Í�ƒ) So, when I bought the most recent two (with Hey! Say! JUMP on the cover) I thought, perhaps, I should actually read the magazines. I'm really slow at reading, so I don't think I'll be buying anymore magazines for a while. Though..then again, the main reason I bought the two recent ones were to get the posters inside..haha. And then..they looked so new, er, the magazine I mean, and I couldn't bring my self to use an exacto-knife to take them out. >.<" Perhaps when I get back home...I'll do it. Plus, I'm running out of room on my cork board...Anywho, yeah. I guess I should get back to studying....even though I only woke up about 45 minutes ago...

One thing I realized today, as I was watching Tatta Hitotsu no Koi out of boredom...(though its an excellent drama)....anywho, what I realized...ever since I got here to Guelph..I've been trying a lot of foods out of my normal range. >.<" I don't know if it's considered a good thing or not..but firstly was tomatoes..and then salad...and then, it was chilli, and even lasagna, and today..mayonnaise. What's wrong with me ne? I don't particularly like any of those still...but...I can swallow them down now, at least.

I guess that's all I wanted to say. XD Yup, I suppose that was random. Gomen, ne? ^^" It's been raining all day...I'm guessing that means tomorrow's gonna snow....And I've been either watching Shounen Club, Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, and reading my philosophy text all day. Yeah, that's exciting, ne? XD It seems as though my life is geting more and more boring, or perhaps it's only because of the break and no one being around...and there being nothing to do...*shrugz*

If I talk more now while watching Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, I'll regret it. �i�œ�O�|�O�œ�j SO, I'll stop ranting. XD

I didn't sleep till 2-ish this morning, but still I couldn't go back to sleep when I woke up around 9:30. I laid in bed till 10 and finally got up. But, somehow, I couldn't sleep for more. It's rare if I can sleep over...ne? ^^" Usually, if I do actually over sleep, it's because I'm sick. >.<" At least, I have a distinguisher to know if I'm sick or not, I suppose. haha

ƒXƒSƒC ‚¨‚à‚µ‚ë‚¢! Shige in Sugata Sanshiro. He's so cool! ^^" Dangerously flinging people around using Judo...haha. Or perhaps, I'm just a sucker for watching Shige act. >.<" Like, in Papa to Musume no Nanokakan...he was really cool too. haha. I usually don't like him when he's in NEWS, but lately, he's growing on me. His acting is...amazing beyond belief. �i�„�Í�ƒ)

Anywho, I guess I'm just waiting for 3:30-ish when my aunt and uncle are coming from Toronto to take me out for early dinner and go grocery shopping with me. ^^" Yay! Yeah, that'll be interesting...I found out the cafs on campus are all closed for Reading Week. >.<" Which means, I need to buy more food..to last me till at least Wednesday. �i�Q�f‚`�f�jƒm~~ Then Thursday's volunteering for LABash...and then Friday and Saturday's LABash...mmhmm...that's it, I think.

Ever realize, that crazy things happen when you least expect them to? Who knew something like a facebook post would cause so much havoc? XD Well, Mr.CNS pretty much was pretty persistent, wanting to figure out who was the person for #17 - the person I think about night and day. XD Honestly, I have no one. And, he assumed, I had one.

OH yeah! I never mentioned that I was having trouble trying to figure out how to do my CIS assignment, which was to make an website and then put it onto the school server. I finally got it to work, though, I did stuff a little sneakily, and put my writing site layout. XD Da Site

Pretty much, I went back to my dorm around 10:30, and on the way was phoning with Angela. Got back to my dorm, took a shower...and next thing you know, it was 1:30-ish. Mr.CNS messages me and tells me that he wants to hear me play piano, after I'd told him I'd go and practice piano today. *shrugz* So, he sat through listening to me play for..a good 45 minutes or so. And afterwards, I returned the piano room key, got back to my room. Apparently, he was waiting for 3:45PM when he'd hitch a ride with someone to Crestwicke and help out with Reach (the youth group, I think).

And with having nothing to do, I was randomly browsing random webpages...and sites on LJ...Anywho..he starts asking me about the facebook thing..and I keep laughing...which, seriously I can't help! I laugh at everything, ne? O(�†�¤�…)O Someone that I think about night and day...right now I'd assume it to be Yamapi. XD So, since it wasn't a real person, that I'll ever meet, I couldn't tell him who it was. I told him that the person who I thought about "night and day"...wasn't tagged. And, if he wanted to know, he should just ask Angela. I wonder if that's a good thing or not. XD Angela I know won't tell him anything. That's nice to know, at least. But, now he's assuming there's a person in either Guelph, or Edmonton that I like. �i�–�f‚`�f�–�j Anywho, that's all from my corner on Valentine's Day! (o�O�`�Oo)É

February 12, 2008

Yesterday, I pretty much spent the entire day with Angela. XD First it was studio time, where we had to do our presenation on human behavior in park design...and seriously, Lise wasn't even watching us, or listening to us. As we did our presentation, I was watching her doodling in her notebook. >.<"

After that, I went back to my room...and then about, 20 minutes before my philosophy midterm, made my way to the UC to meet up with Angela, because she wanted to study a little more beforehand. After the philosophy midterm, we went back to my dorm, had the special valentine's day hot chocolate - that takes like strawberry! ^^", on the way back, and then we pretty much hung out till 4:30-ish. Then, she had a group meeting for her 2nd year course, and I was in my room patiently waiting for 5:30 to arrive. XD At around 5:30, I made my way over to the UC, she came walking over to me, and we went to ACF together.

Afterwards, we - Angela, Jun, and me, went to the LA building, so that I could make Jun take my model back to his place. XD He said he wanted it. *shrugz* Anywho, we walked to East, because Angela wanted to stay over at my dorm, and while Angela was up in her room taking her time to get her stuff, Jun kept my company saying that he didn't want me waiting around in that area alone? XD And that there could be scary people on Thursdays or Fridays. It was a Monday! Anywho, he kept me company, with my big model in his hands, until Angela came back down.

Then, we went back to my room, dropped her stuff off, then went to Mountain to get dinner, which was like....pizza. XD I don't like waiting in line. What does this prove? Kat has no patience! haha. Anywho, it was the first time I've played piano for that long in one day...and then I think that's the first time anyone's stayed over in my room. XD

This morning was quite interesting, waking up at 8, with my cell phone in hand. XD And then, I sat up in bed, and kept starring at Angela. I couldn't tell whether she was awake or not! XD How can anyone, who has heavy eyeliner? haha. A few minutes of starring and she wakes up! haha. I get up to turn my computer on...and do all the stuff I usually do in the morning, and she's still sleeping a little. ^^" Around 8:45, we leave to go to Mountain, eat breakfast, and head off to class, just making it on time, as always for me.

Went back to my room, at around 11-ish? I took a shower, and she went back down to the piano room. I went to go look for her after my shower...and she perfected a song after only learning it last night! Hai! Extremely surprised. ^^" Then again, I suck at sight-reading. >.<" After lunch, she left to go back to her place, and I went back to my dorm where I go...

kyaaa~! Kei-chan, with black hair = love! XD I wanted to watch Lost Time Life, assuming it was an entire drama, not that each episode would be a different story. Anywho...I've been waiting and waiting and waiting, till it was finally out. And, apparently, it'd been out for a while, just nobody subbed it. So, I downloaded it this morning, and just finished watching it a few minutes ago. It was amazingly deep...especially since Kei-chan actually dies at the end. >.<" I remember watching Yukan Club, and Kurosagi...both of which Kei-chan guest stars. He needs a real drama where he gets a main role. Seriously, he's that good of an actor! XD Well, I guess he did do High School Musical in Japanese on stage, which would've been cool to see. XD Anywho, I'll stop ranting now...

February 7, 2008

Yeah, I felt obligated to write, since I'm sitting here in front of my laptop....2:15 or so...XD I'm waiting for it to be 5:15 or so that I can head over to the bus stop, where I'll meet up with Angela and Aisha so we can go downtown and eat dinner. XD

Today, I woke up around 8, turned on my laptop as per usual, and did all the stff I normally do. XD When I left for class, I lok on my door, and Meghan had written "Happy Chinese New Year" in Chinese..which I couldn't read...and wrote it romanized in both Mandarin and Cantonese. XD Kind of made me laugh, but smile all the same. ^^"

Currently, I'm procrastinating...I should be writing my paper for CIS...but, I'm almost done, so I thought...let's look at random stuff on the net. XD Fanfics perhaps? haha. Yeah, about an hour has passed. This happened yesterday too. I was supposed to work on the CIS paper, and what ended up happening was me writing another poem, and translating it. That took...a few hours. XD

Tomorrow's going to be a fun-filled day of studying for Philosophy! Yay! ^^"...*sigh* Let's put it this way, after all these years in school, I seriously feel like I've reached the limit with my brain. haha. If I try to remember something, I forget it the next day. And the only way I can remember something, is if I keep looking at the same page a few days. In other words, if I really want to study for a crazy midterm, I have to look at the same page for a week?....which means, I'd have to study...right when school starts. XD I feel as though, the more I live, the dumber I get. And that's just plain sad.

Oh yeah, I talked about that crapload of snow we got yesterday...It was a hassle to walk through this morning. Most of it wasn't shovelled till after 10, and my class was at 9. XD When I walked out, I called Angela, to ask her if we still had class (and of course we still did) but she had just woken up from my phone call! XD Anywho, that's all for now, ne? ^^"

February 6, 2008

If I could possibly post everyday, I think everyone would be bored with me. XD My life seems to just be getting more and more boring...with a crapload of stress dumped upon it. haha. Today, I skipped morning classes, which was studio time anyways, knowing we'd meet as a group in the afternoon anyways. So, I didn't end up waking up till 9. I didn't leave my room till 1, when I had to get to my class at 1:30. It was snowing...like rain would...As in, it snowed really fast, and was a little wet.

Anywho...after that, we - Angela, Aisha, Pojing, and me, made our way as fast as we could to the LA building. Why were we rushing? Because it was snowing...hard. Harder than before. XD We had to wait for Vanessa to come at 3:30...and it was only 2:30-ish, so we sat around and talked about our project...and random stuff till she came. My model got an 80. And crazy enough I'm happy! XD In LA, anything 80 and above = good work and you're at normal pace with everyone else, and anything below that means you're behind? XD and that I would have to work harder. ^^"

After the meeting, I left them, headed back to my dorm. It was only 4:30 or so, but I was extremely hungry, so I ended up eating dinner anyways. XD Checked my mailbox, and WA-LAH! My package arrived. XD That's right. My Yamapi poster and Tatta Hitotsu no Koi dorama arrived. haha. Of course, she forgot to send me one of the disks...but that should come either by the end of this week r beginning of next week. What can I say, packages make me happy. XD

Mr.CNS offered me dinner at his house for tomorrow - Chinese New Year. Unfortunately, I'm going to celebrate Aisha's birthday tomorrow downtown. I think we're eating Indian...and the cheesecake I bought. XD Happy Chinese New Year! ^^"

Everyone likes being a part of something. And being able to tell someone so easily, I want to be alone....is somewhat sad, I'd say.

After studio today, I ended up heading to Ultra to buy my groceries - that by the way were uber heavy - and then going to the mall to wait for Angela to come. I'd promised her I'd come along with her to either find a dress or shoes. She finally came around, 10:40, and we shopped? XD Yeah, pain in my arms now from holding my bags.

Me and Angela got back from the mall, and I'd said I wanted to go back to my dorm first to drop off al this stuff, so she came over, I dropped my stuff off. It's the first time I think, someone's actually told me that my room is neat, I'm surprised. XD Well, of course, the first thing she notices is the NEWS poster ^^"...

We got lunch, walked randomly a little in the UC. She got her Asian Semi-formal ticket. I watched her get it. XD And then got Booster Juice. >.<" Afterwards, we went to philosophy....mm....and then after philosophy, me and Aisha went to the bookstore and bought hoodies. XD She bought one for her boyfriend, because his birthday's tomorrow? mmm...and hers is on Chinese New Year. I forgot to buy my cheesecake! >.<" So...after buying the hoodies, we went into the UC, and random Chinese people walked up to us and were trying to convice us to go to that Asian Semi-formal. I tried my best to turn them down, and gave an excuse for the three of us (Aisha, Pojing, and me) to leave. Yep, Pojing randomly showed up when we came out of the bookstore. XD. Other from that, there's not much going on in my life since last post...besides that I'm suffering from a terribly throbbing headache, even after having aspirin about...two or three hours ago...>.<" ARGH!

O(�†�¤�…)O <---It's gotta be the cutest emoticon I've ever seen. XD

What I realized lately, I like the taste of bitterness. There are people that like tea with a raspberry flavor, or even a lemon-y flavor. I've been drinking lots of Oolong and Green tea. They're both very bitter. And, when I remembered back to when I was in Kobe, and I was staying at my host family's house, they offered me some green tea, warning me that it as very bitter. But it tasted quite normal to me. XD And, it was much better than the green tea I'm having now. But, you can only deal with what you have, ne? ^^"

Ever since last night, I've been wanting to eat sushi. That's right, sushi, the kind with octopus on top XD. I wanted to buy it while I was in Edmonton, but my mom wouldn't let me, and it was like $10 for a small pack. >.<" I guess the octopus is quite expensive. And then yesterday my sister tells me, they bought it! My mom reasons that it was on sale. But, that still made me sad. Perhaps, one day, I'll try to figure out where that Japanese restaurant is downtown, and drag Angela to come with me. ^^" ...mochi would be good too.

Like I said last post...Valentine's Day is drawing closer. The cafes are all very beautifully decorated. But some how, as it gets prettier, you feel lonelier...

I remember those days when I was building my model with so much effort, that I kept skipping meals. Today, kind of feels like that, but I'm not doing anything. XD Okay, so really today isn't like that. But, just by lookng outside, my appetite has changed. I just want soup and tea. ^^"

It seems, I really need to work a lot in the summer after all. I've recently bought so much online, expecting to earn it back in the summer. XD Why do I do this to myself? After these purchases, hope to stop, ne?

What a crazy scene. It's seriously been snowing since before I woke up this morning. I woke up at 8, thinking I need to do my laundry, cuz it just kept piling up. So, I did all of it, taking so much time outta my schedule because I had forgotten that washing only takes 30 minutes, not an hour. >.<" A surprise...classes were cancelled for today. Is it unheard of? University cancelling classes, having a snow day? Right now...it looks like there's a little less than half a foot of snow on the ground. Yesterday, there was practically nothing, and you could still see the yellow-green grass. ^^"

I'm always surprised when I see days when it's not snowing, and it's possibly -13 without windchill. And then days like today where it's blizzarding outside but it's only -1 without windchill. My mom told me usually it's warmer when it actually snows. I never wonder how weather works...just know that the fact it is very complicated. I never liked science...and it seems I'm not going to understand it any time soon. I was reading through random JE ‚Ì ‚É‚Á‚«, and stumbled upon ŽRƒs-'s. That's when I thought ah! That's right, I should listen to Snow Express, with his crazy uber good rap. XD

I remember reading somewhere that during winter time, certain people get more depressed. I think I'm one of those. Since I came back to Guelph from the winter vacation, I have gotten more tired, and less talkative. My tolerance to talk to people is getting lower. I don't really know what's wrong with me these days. But, the peace and quiet is good for me and I'm happy. And for some reason, I'm not lonely.

Angela keeps telling me about either her and Vince, and her probems almost everyone knows about...the him asking her out, she saying no...him being uber persistent, and telling her to reconsider. In the mean time, only yesterday she tells me, a guy that she likes from the Taiwanese club she's in asked her out, and she said yes. Lucky girl isn't she. ^^" She joked and told me that maybe she shouldn't wear make-up and dress like a guy from now on. That's when I thought...I kinda do that..I don't wear make-up, and I don't really dress like most girls...I guess that explains why I've never been all that popular with guys...well, I've got a lot of guy friends, just never actually boyfriends. XD

February 14th. Valentine's Day. It's only a matter of days away. 13 days. The custom in Japan, to give the guy you like chocolate, and wait for their response on March 14th. I was thinking of doing that this year. But, that's when I realized, there's no one to do that to. ^^" I don't like anyone, nor do I have anyone in mind that I'd give chocolate to...somehow, I either 1) sound desperate, or 2) sound like a loser. XD

Yesterday was the "drastic change in weather day." The previous days had been...somewhere between -1 and 7 degrees Celcius. Quite a big change when it's -11 plus wind chill -21. But, that didn't make it cold. The wind was FREEZING! We were supposed to meet our prof at the site so we'd know where our next project was located. Aisha, Angela, and me were planning to meet at the UC and then we'd take two buses to get to the site. Seeing he crazy weather, when Aisha arrived, we decided to go to the LA building to make sure our little "trip" wasn't cancelled.

We ended up making one of the other people in the office to call her home, where her husbad said that she'd be coming in to print something off first, and could drive us. SO! Luckily, we didn't end up bus-ing, and hitched a ride with her, and a few other students. After about 10 minutes of standing on the site, she tells us that it's too cold, and we should head back to the studio and she'd explain the rest there. XD So, everyone got a ride back. ^^" Well, not in he van, other people drove too.

Today..mmm...I didn't do much. XD But I have been listening to a lot of TOKIO songs lately...they're not like...‚ß‚¿‚á good...but "Ambitious Japan!" is an addictive song. XD Nagase in My Hero My Boss was fun to watch, because Tegoshi was in it. XD And then there's me watching too much Shounen Club Premium, which Taichi hosts...just had to see what kinda songs TOKIO sing. Oh yeah! And MATCHY with Question - Mezamero! Yasei. It's a good song. And, it becomes an ending theme for an anime. >.<" I think my anime fandom has pretty much faded...for some strange reason, I don't have the urge to download or even watch any newer anime that's available. I mean, there's the new OVAs for Tsubasa Chronicles, and even that I can't sit and watch. I haven't bought manga since October. I still want to finish Skip Beat. But, I"m not sure if I should buy them to complete my set anymore. XD

Lately, I've really wanted to write some songs...but I can't get my brain to function long enough to write something worthy of being on a page. *sigh* Anywho, that's all for now. Laterz! ^^"

EDIT: I finally got notepad to accept my japanese writing, so I fixed all the entries. XD OH! I wrote a new poem. XP

January 27, 2008

Officially am very happy! (‚Æ‚Ä‚à ‚¤‚ꂵ‚¢!!!) I didn't have to do much convincing. I asked my dad if he'd be mad at me, if I bought 'something' online. He said it'd be fine, and I should use my credit card. I'm like...woah...–{“– ‚Å‚·‚©?

Anywho, showing what I'm currently wanting to buy...
weeeek (Normal Edition) Taiwan Version [single]

US$9.49
kyaaa~! XD Well, it's one of my favorite songs...and it has extra songs. I was gonna get the LE one, but I clicked the wrong button when I placed my order. >.<" But, I admit, I'm glad. XD It just means I get Rainbow instead of Why. XD

Taiyou no Namida (LE) Japan Version [single]

US$11.49
The song by NEWS for the new Kurosagi movie coming out on March 8th!!!...I just liked the LE cover better than the normal version...I mean...which would be better...hmmm...Yamapi in the Kurosagi outfit, or him lookig half naked in "tears of the sun"? XD

cartoon KAT-TUN II You (Normal Edition) HK Version [album]

US$7.99
I wanted the Best of KAT-TUN cd...instead, but I'll settle for the second album because it does have some pretty decent songs...and it's mad cheap! XD

Yamashita Tomohisa - Complete Otakara Photo Book

US$16.96
XD Actually the most expensive outta the whole lot...surprised? Me? not really. I was actually more amazed at how cheap it was. haha. I mean, somebody was trying to sell it to me for $28!! For second hand! Can you believe it? Because she said Kino sold it to her for a lot. >.<" Either that means she got ripped off or she was trying to rip me off. Either way, I got the cheaper price still, and I'm happy. The cover looks like it was from his junior years...but I believe it's pretty much the history of him from his junior years till 2006 when the photo book was published.
Grand Total = US$45.93
Now, it's a matter of patiently waiting till March 7th for it to arrive at my house in Edmonton, because I sent it there for fear of me not receiving it on time. >.<" Cuz, it won't be shipped out till Feb 27th or so...because I wanted free shipping, which would mean, it'd all won't be shipped till then waiting for my Taiyou no Namida single. ^^" Anywho, that's all for now. XD

January 22, 2008

Went to class this morning, wrote notes, blah blah blah? XD Well...after class, which was actually a bit before, (because she decided to take us out on another walk in the blizzard, but I left) and went to the mall. I got the money order, waiting around 5 minutes till the bus came to go back to uni. Went into the UC to buy two US stamps, and then to the library to print off my explanation for my model. I bumped into Pojing there, and said a few words, and then went back to my dorm.

So, since 1 to 2-ish, I've been trying to put thoughts to paper for my site analysis. That's when I started thinking. No one really realizes how much work and effort landscape architects do behind the scenes in order for things to be developed, compared to people like doctors like brain surgeons. Sure it's stressful. I guess....everyone gets stressed out. XD I shouldn't have said that.

mmm....around 4:30, I seriously freaked out, because my internet stopped working, and only the UofG website worked. XD I walked over to the library to see what was up, and even their internet wasn't working. Anywho, I called Angela to see if hers was the same, and it was. I walked to the UC to mail my two letters, and then rushed back to my dorm when I realized it was the perfect time to bring my model to studio because it wasn't snowing (which it had been doing all day...including crazy blizzarding). I brought it down the stairs, two girls helped me open the door, and then upon reaching Prairie Crossroads, the cleaning people saw me holding a big box, and helped me open the door also.

From there, it was trying to get to studio as fast as I could, because I wasn't wearing gloves, and my hands were FREEZING! At the entrance of the LA building, I was about to get my keys out of my pocket with one hand, the other still gripping my model. A second year LA walks over to me and tries to open the door, when he realizes he lent his key to a friend, I gave him my key, and he opened the door for me. (Which, I assumed, he realized I was in first year because 1) I'm short and 2) I was holding my model) And, so, he asked me my name, and he gave me his, though I can't remember it, because I was listening to my mp3 in both ears. >.<" And, then he was complimenting it. And, he kept helping me open doors as we went up the stairs. *shrugz* I guess that's something a sempai should do in the first place, and not only a sempai, a normal person would do the same, ne?. XD SO, I'm not gonna read anything into that.

Oh yeah! I didn't mention last night's ACF, and how Jun lent me the burnt dvds he had of a New Years Countdown (2007-2008). He told me, "I think Kat'll want to watch this, and then I decided to tape it". XD It was...ok-lah....Though, I did go kyaaaaa~ when I saw SMAP...and TOKIO...and WaT...>.<"

But, yeah, so many people were working on their models! I was so surprised. XD Pojing was still there, so I walked over to her, and realized she'd used my table as her own (so, using two tables), and mine was covered...with her stuff. She helped me clear it so I could put my model onto the table. XD Anywho, that's pretty much it for today. Nothing else eventful, it seems. Yup that's right - SUMMARY. >.<" (I guess, if you don't get it, that's a good thing, it's a note to myself)

EDIT: In the midst of all my craziness, I didn't realize I never posted my model pictures here...[the link...]

January 21, 2008

What can I say, the weather changed really fast. I think I jinxed it. XD I was talking to my friend one day, telling her, maybe the weather will be this warm for the rest of winter. The next day, -13 degrees celcius. XD (ah, and I realized that some of this is written in Japanese, and because I no longer have frontpage on my laptop, it won't show, so sorry if it shows up as question marks...)

Today was so freakin' cold...even my window on my balcony is all iced up...>.<" Can't even see out of it. I missed two alarms on my phone, woke up at the third (8:00) and still went back to sleep. Why? Because it was too cold to get out, and I had a good dream. I mean, come on, my dreaming patterns are so random. Sometimes I actually have one, and other times, I just don't. (or, at least to the extent of my consciousness) In other words....it's not every day I get to dream about NEWS. XD (‚Í‚¸‚©‚µ‚¢ ‚Ë‚¦...) I think I should stop watching News wo abake. XD I laugh every single time I watch it. XD

Anywho, I made tea, put it in my thermos, wearing my big coat....walked to the LA building, only to realize, we weren't doing pin-ups after all, and she was giving us extra time to work on our models. So, I was like, I'm done, so I left and called Angela, told her not to come. XD I ended up walking a good distance to the art center place....taking pictures rather quickly and walking back to my dorm. That's a good....20-30 minutes in the cold.

I was still defrosting, no wait, I still kinda am. So, about an hour after making my tea...and putting it in my thermos, I sit in my room drinking it. It's still extremely hot! XD ‚Ñ‚Á‚­‚肵‚½!! Or perhaps, I shouldn't be...because a good thermos should keep it warm for that long. XD

Oh yeah! Did I mention it was snowing? XD Or, at least it was...I can't really remember what I haven't mentioned..mm...I decided that during reading week, I'd go to LABash, instead of Winter Retreat. Winter Retreat comes every year. LABash, just happens to be in Guelph this year, who knows where it'll be next year. So, it's more worth it to go to that this year. ^^"

I showed Jun the pictures of my model, and apparently he was amazed. Even though...I don't even find it all that good. My walls look like crap. I only like the courtyard I made. XD *shrugz* He was trying to compliment me on my japanes writing skills as well, cuz I wrote udon and ramen on the signs. XD Something about how his "‚ñ"'s look like "h"'s, and mine actually look like "‚ñ"'s. *shrugz* Is there any meaning behind it? dunno. Did I mention he wanted to keep my model after it was graded? Angela's telling me that he probably likes me. And unfortunately, another guy I don't like, and could never date. And apparently, she's convinced I like him, though I don't. He's just easy to talk to when it comes to Japanese-related stuff...like I can talk to him about my random fandoms and j-pop. and, I guess there was that incident on the bus last weekend after hot pot, that i mentioned too...

But like seriously, every one's acting so weird lately. Even Mr.CNS is coming over today to look at my model before ACF, around 2:30-ish, is he staying till ACF? It doesn't start till 5:30. XD

January 16, 2008

Yo! ^^" The last few days, I've either been,
1) drawing sketches
2) working on my model
3) watching dramas
or 4) trying to sleep, but not actually sleeping.

The apartment styled house I'm supposed to create model sized to Scale 1:20, is giving me a headache. And because of it, today my eating schedule went crazy. XD I don't think I ate lunch till 1:30-ish, and I didn't have dinner till 7:00-ish...or, perhaps that's when normal people eat, but that's not when I eat, ne? ^^"

Anywho, I'm not even sure how important my model is out of all my other projects in that class....but LA is giving me a headache. XD Last week, we got assigned a write-up (report) for a lecture on this...speaker...and then now I've got to do a site analysis at one of these three places...which is far away from my dorm. >.<" I've got to do that sometime...Friday, or Monday...cuz, it's due next Tuesday.

And so, I'm still crazily trying to gather materials together. Today, after happily not having to present, I started and finished my rough sketch for my final model plan to scale. I went to the Co-op bookstore, got cardboard...and went back to my dorm and worked till 1pm...(10:45-1PM) that's about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I rushed to grab lunch, and head over to my philosphy class, only to realize, I was way too early. XD My class doesn't start till 1:30, and I arrived at 1:15. >.<"

After class, I went back to my dorm and worked again. (That's 2:30-6:15) That's....about, 3 hours and 45 minutes I worked. So, my total effort today of working..mmmm...6 hours? Sadly....I'm less than half-way done still. >.<" I've still got to make the TV..the kitchen cabinets, island, the bathroom (including it's walls and the stuff inside), as well as finish the courtyard, which includes installing a rock pond. >.<" Luckily, it's not due till next Wednesday, or I'd be really really sad.

I still have to finish my CIS (computer science) course assignment...that's due next wednesday too. >.<" ....what else...I have that site analysis assignment I mentioned before...that's it I think. Thank God! XD

I was so happy when my mom phoned me the other day telling me she talked to her boss at Save-On-Foods, and told him about me, and how I needed a job in the summer. So, once I get back, I get an interview, and most likely the cashier job. XD

I didn't mention me going kyaaaaaa~ at 9:30-ish in the morning during my LA class. I was sitting there listening to presentations, I opened my sketchbook, and pretty much just started drawing. Who? Kurosagi! ^^" yeah...I can't get it outta my head...the trailer looks awesome! and the song (‘¾—z‚̃iƒ~ƒ_) by NEWS in the movie is..awesomeness. The first time I heard it, I was a litte disappointed, I must admit, but now that I think back about it, I don't know why I was disappointed. I really like it, and the lyrics are..."woah". ^^" That's my little blurb..(OH! And it comes out March 8!) ....that's it. XD Anywho, I'll stop ranting...I did that a lot...already, ne? ^^"
Posted at 8:30PM

January 13, 2008

*Sigh* XD Well, I got back to residence today around...1:50? Took a shower, and then finished watching the first episode of 1 Pound no FUkuin. ^^" It's funny watching a side of someone, you don't normally see.

Anywho, I guess...I should talk about last night. I ended up meeting Jun at the UC at 7, and we took the 52 to Mr.CNS's house together. Tiff was there too...and of course Stephen and Ian. ^^" Seriously, I think that as the first time I have ever had hotpot...with daikon and taro. XD It was lots of fun actually...

We didn't really finish eating till 10-ish, so, you can only imagine how late it was when I got back to the dorm. At 11:15 or so, Jun asked me if I wanted to go and I agreed. We both left the house, and waited at the bus stop. Little did I know, was that we were waiting for the last bus, on a Saturday night, after the first week of classes. So, we ended up standing at the bus stop for a good 5-10 minutes till a very large group joined us, drunk and smoking. Finally, a good 10-15 minutes after that, the bus came.

Let's put it this way. Jun was making sure I didn't get hit by people who were using the bar above me where I was standing. ^^" Then again...he wanted to see me drunk, and I couldn't understand why. And then, he told me he'd lend me a tape of a taped Japanese music show that was playing on New Year's. ^^" YAY! MMmmm....I guess that's it.
Posted at 2:57PM

January 11, 2008

I guess, I'll finally write a worthy post, not made up of pictures, ne? ^^" Let's start with..where I left off... Like I said before, I stared classes on Monday. And through the start of classes I've talked to a few people less, and a few people more. Odd, I'd say. Where did my Linh-Linh go!?! XD

MMmm...this morning I woke up at 8, which is unusual for a Friday because I don't have class till 1:30pm, but I ended up getting up, getting breakfast and all that, leaving residence at 10:20 to get to the UC at 10:30, just in time to meet Aisha and Angela in front of the UC when the bus for downtown just came. ^^" Awesome timing.

We ended up going downtown, meeting Pojing there and walk to the second-hand store..where I didn't buy anything...and Aisha and Pojing bought a little bit of clothes for fabric..and Angela bought coasters..mmm....then we walked next door where the art store was, cuz, I had to buy a new ruler with a different scale than the one I had before. Mmm...and there was a box of like....wood wedges, so I took a few to the counter, and asked the guy how much they cost. Free. ^^" I took a whole bunch, and now I'll have flooring. XD

Pojing had an job interview, so Aisha, Angela, and me went to the mall to check out what the dollar store had. Aisha bought the tree-looking thing, that we'll share and I bought the glue. erm....what else...XD We got back to residence...and not long after, it was 1:15, and I rushed over to Axelrod for my philosophy class. ^^"

Once I got back to residence after the class, I started gluing the wood wedges together. Erm..try to imagine rectangles that are cut diagonally..re-glued to re-make the rectangle. That's what I was doing. And, then...gluing rectangles together. XD Yeah...is it worth my time? I'm really not sure yet. BUt, it definitely is a lot cheaper to do it this way, than to buy flat wood for about $4 a piece. >.<" And then have to cut it. Then, I did the 3 concepts that are due for Monday...and I think that's it. XD So, I'll stop talking now. ^^"

I think this post....is pretty image heavy. XD I didn`t realize it when I was writing it. SO...gomen. XD I was gonna post up all the pictures I took while I was in my house...but...*shrugz* Maybe I'll post them later.

NOTE: In the background, if you look really closely at the TV, you can see Yamapi, Kei-chan, and Ryo-chan singing 'Change the World' on Shounen Club. I was watching videos that I burned onto a data disc that day. XD


I should've taken a before picture...of what my room looked like right when I got home. Literally...my parents used my room like a warehouse. XD It's...more clean than it was before. lol.

I finally got around to uploading pictures to my laptop...so, I might as well upload these (This's what Jun bought for me. XD):

The family photo, I hope we end up using. XD So many retakes....I think, this was the first year...it took us so long to get one good photo. XD But it was also a lot more fun than usual...

I guess that's it. I should get to studying that stupid philosophy textbook. XD Ja ne~

January 7, 2008

When Jun came through the doors, and walked over to me, I heard the crinkling of a plastic bag. A HMV bag was pulled out, and....I want to say my heart went "doki-doki" ...but that's the wrong words. XD Honestly...I would've went...kyaaa~...for a very long time. >.<" ACF, is not really the place to do that. XD And, so, right now siting beside me as I type, my new unopened Limited Edition NEWS - pacific [album]. ^^" When I asked him to buy it, before he left, I didn't realize, he'd say "alright" and, buy it for me. And, I didn't realize, that when he came back with it, that he wouldn't let me pay for it, and said, "It's your Christmas present." So, if the cd itself didn't make me go "kyaa~..." that fact did. XD So yeah, please tell me, someone, what's with guys, and not letting girls pay? XD

Mmm...what else is there to say...Today`s the first day of classes back at uni. I`m hoping...it`ll be fun, and not as hard as it seems.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! ^^" I spent my New Year's Eve sleeping. Why? Because I was tired. And, when I had to wake up twice, because my phone was vibrating like crazy, because I got two text messages, let's just say I was extremely crabby. XD

I finally got my new laptop..It's a pink Sony VAIO. XD I was gonna get an HP...and decided against it..only because I didn't want to get a black laptop. haha. I guess I got too used to my old Dell, where it was silver-y and blue. haha.

Last post, I mentioned people coming over to the house, and that was actually quite fun. I had Eric and Emily to talk to. They're both younger than me though...but, perhaps, that's always fun for me. Though...for some reason, when I was talking to them, just didn't feel like my usual self. Ever feel like you just need to keep talking, in order for the situation to not be awkward? Since our family was playing host, and my sister decided to hide away in her own room the entire night, I was...pretty much host to the kids. XD Though...Eric's in grade 12, and...Emily's in grade 11. Not far off. ^^" But, I know them...well, I have known them for a while now...and I don't mind talking to them either. But, for some reason, after looking back on it, it kinda seemed I as trying too hard. XD Oh yeah? Did I mention a really little kid ended up throwing up on my carpet? (in my room?) Wasn't too happy about that, but what can you do, ne?

Yesterday, at least, I think it was yesterday, I watched Johnny's 2008 Countdown, or whatever it's called...and that was most of my morning. XD I folded clothes?...I guess that doesn't make it any more exciting. haha. Then, my dad told me how he had some sort of infection inside his mouth, and it was swelling. New Year's Day....all dentist offices are closed...that is, except for the Dental Clinic at the hospital. So, right after I finished lunch, I went with my dad. Let's put it this way. We didn't get to leave till around 4. I was not very happy. haha. And, it was only the day before, that I had gone with my dad to the doctor's office, for his check up and waited for him for two hours. Why do I do this to myslf? XD

Anywho, my vacation's nearing an end. About four more days left, it seems. New Year's Resolutions...I can't remember the last time I've made one. mmmm....
1) No More downloading dramas on the new laptop. (Besides for the new J-movie that kat wants to watch that comes out in march)
2) Putting in everything I can in everything I do

So many new dramas coming out. Not downloading will be hard. XD Like...1 pound no fukuin...kyaaa~ it has Kame in it. XD What else...I don't remember if I ranted on and on about Yamapi in Kurosagi...but, there's a Kurosagi movie coming out in March!!! mmm...then there's Hachikuro (Honey & Clover Live-action) with Ikuta Toma....and then Binbou men with Oguri Shun. ^^" Should keep me occupied...if I can just find them..streaming-wise. OTherwise, I'll be uber sad. haha.

Anywho, on a last note, Happy New Year! Hope that your 2008 will be exciting~
