Well, It isn't New Year's Yet, and I still have to make New Years gifts...XD Must've slipped my mind...Anyways, I made one now.

Anyways, like I said before ...well, a few days ago, Happy New Year! And Best of luck in 2005 ^_^" That's all of us. lol. Yeah, so I really need ideas on next layout, like what anime....so someone, please help? lol.

School's about to begin again, which means for me, midterms are right around the corner. Though, I do have a day at Southgate one of those afternoons, so, maybe that'll be fun. Though. lol. They told me they wanted to study then. Maybe a little late for that. They have a Coles there. ^_^" 

Right now, I need to get Imadoki volumes 3 and 4, Fushigi Yugi volumes 12 and 13, Though I'm telling this to people who don't really care...XD Anyways, I'll update soon I hope.

Well, first off, I'd like to thank all of you that said Merry Christmas. ^_^" Just hearing someone say that to me, makes life a little more worth while. XD "If only my friends from CT were here" I guess that's true. It would've made the day a little more special. -_-" Plus, I wouldn't feel like I didn't do anything on X'mas since my parents had pretty much already bought me something before and I opened it. lol. 

Whoever knew that Boxing Day in Edmonton was so hectic XD I mean, I knew in Toronto was crazy, but...@_@...seriously...especially since it was snowing. >.< Oh wells. I got this really really really lol cute snoopy doll at Hallmark today. It's dressed up as a reindeer ^_^" What else did I get today..hm..oh i got a sweater XD I love that sweater. I have the same one, in a totally different color I got a few weeks ago. And, now, I got it half price. >.<

I was watching Freaky Friday, the new one with Lindsay Lohan. Anyways, have you ever seen the beginning where they get the fortune cookies, and the old lady is like yapping away? lol. I finally figured out what they were saying. I had to rewind it a few times to figure it out. XD I taped it off the tv. My parents got special movie channels, since cable is cheaper here. lol.

I'm surprised how much stuff my parents got! >.< And, that's before we went to church. lol. Oh yeaz! I finished the two layouts, Jenny, and Tomoyo-chan. ^_^" Though, for you Jenny, I still have to do the html. I'll just put up a buncha linky thingys that you can fill in, since I can't see your site right now. lol. I've finished your layout Tomoyo, so just tell me when to send it to you, and I will. 

I went to see Ocean's 12. ^_^" It was awesome. Not as good as the first, but, like someone said, "That's how sequels are like." ^_^" I'm thinking about making 'the old RPG' into a fic, or a manga..though with a lot of twists. >.< Hope you don't mind Dan. lol. Though, I don't have any idea what Seimoeru looks like. hehe, I guess I have to re-check that. Anyways, I don't know if I'll be updating anymore until after new years, though, I probably will...XD So, Happy New Year! Best of luck in 2005 ^_^"
Oh yea, and for all who haven't gotten the X'mas gift yet, Here it is

What's new? Well, I burned a PGSM CD ^_^" I got so hooked on Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Live. lol. The music is awesome! 

I got so mad today, my sister got to see Ocean's 12 without me and went with her friends from church. >.< But, my dad promised he'd take me to see it, so, that cheers me up a bit, though she used my free ticket. *cries* lol

Anybody up for layout requests? lol. >.< I'm worn out. And, I have to make two. lol. One - FMA layout for Jenny, Two - Gundam Seed layout for Tomoyo-chan. Though, they've never really asked me before, so I don't mind. But, having it pile up on me, I hope they both still turn out good. XD Plus, I still have to read 'The Odyssey' >.< The whole 365 pages of it. Though, *some* people would say that's nothing for two weeks. 

Oh wellz, if anyone's got an idea for the next layout, tell me. Merry Christmas! Kat-chan over and out. lol

Well, I forgot to give a warning on my new fanfic...which I'm trying to finish quickly. It's a beyblade fic. yaoi/non-yaoi. It's about a girl who tries to change Kai and Tala's mind that homosexuality is wrong. If you know who I am, and what I'm like, you'd realize why I'm writing this fic. Right Dan? ^_^" lol. 

Oh yea, I need an idea for the next layout, whenever that happens to be that is that I change the layout..T_T...I'm thinking FMA, though that's the anime I'm making for Jenny's layout XD Hm, here are my choices that I want to do: Imadoki, Prince of Tennis, or Sailor Moon. I've looked back at all the past layouts I've used and realized that I've never done these anime, surprisingly. ^_^" So, help me decide.. please? lol. 

And, if there are any video-gamers out that like Sailor Moon, what you should do is go to http://kazeninaru.net/sailorstarfire/ and download the ZSNES emulator and some of the games. ^_^" They're quite fun, and promise of no virus.

Yes, I know, I haven't updated...in a while. Sorries. >.< It's just that, I've been so busy with a lot of things. Plus, getting the flu. Which I'm all better now !! Yippees. lol. I was gonna make a blog archive thing, rather than making this page longer and longer...but, I just need to find the time ^_^"

Lately, I've been having a lot of layout requests. And, I don't even have my request page up anymore. XD That's alright. As long as I have time to do it, it's fine for me. lol. Jenny, if you're reading this, I'll send it to you as soon as I'm done with it ...XD I haven't started it yet...^_^" 

I finally got back into the habit of writing fics. ^_^" I guess that's a good thing, especially for my reviewers. *huggles* If anyone wants to see it, go to fanfiction.net and look for the author MeiKimari. And, the most recent fic updated, "To Be Forever"

Anyways, to all I haven't said this to yet, Merry X'mas!

Sorries. >.< I haven't updated in a while. But, here's the good part! I've got this new layout! ^_^" It's Beyblade, Version Hong Kong...just had this pic from beyblade....scenes from HK, so I though, heh, why not?

The reason I didn't update was because I was sick over the weekend. Had a fever for two days, and I think it was the flu. >.< Anyways, here's the new layout!

12.06.04
Lately, I've been doing a lot of random outbursts...I mean, come on, that's pretty random itself. ^_^" But, on Sunday, I played a piano recital! ^^" There wasn't as many people as I thought there'd be. Though, the weather was pretty rough. It started snowing here on Saturday, and all I can say is...we've got quite a bit of snow. T_T....oh well....no need to shovel...not yet at least. ^^"

Hm...I feel as though I need to talk to my friends in the states more. I feel as though....I don't talk to them anymore....is that even a possibility? Of course that is, for a group of friends that call once a week....or e-mail....and I don't go on AIM, and....T_T...it's just so sad and depressing. And, that just adds to the fact that my teachers are overworking me! ^_^" I mean, I have about 4 projects from my history teacher, 3 tests tomorrow, an essay on Friday, nothing on 1 quiz on wed..and nothing on thurs....yet at least..and that's probably a good thing..though I do have a test on Monday. T_T Teachers have to realize. "School isn't based only on tests and achievements. It's how well you know how to do something. And, tests aren't the only way to figure that out!"

Well...I'm reading this book called "The Merchant of Venice" Very boring book, though, I would recommend it to anyone that likes reading Shakespeare. ^_^" Anyways, post laterz...no updates...I'll do a major update on site sections laterz...like...on vacation. lol.

Today, at Ainlay, there was Touch of Class, or Evening in Paris..whatever lol. ^_^" It was so much fun. I was wearing my 8th grade grad dress along with blue jeans. ^_^" I told everyone I was trying to clash. But, I was doing it cuz I was cold. lol... A lot of other people were wearing their 9th grade grad dresses and suits. XD It was hilarious too. At the door when I walked in, there where people with platters of mints and girls holding carnations to give to us. ^_^" I got one and, it's still pretty. lol

Hm...let's see what else happened...in english class first period, people with food came in and gave us food. that was pretty cool. Then I went to my bio class and there were people in the hallways holding platters of food again. XD After that, I went to design and became hyper after eating a krispy kreme donut. ^_^" hehe, that was fun. I was...jumping and hugging a lot. XD ...er...>.< okay, don't want to really remember that. lol

Then, At lunch time, they were giving out free food, yet again. There was ice cream cake and sparkling apple cider or juice..>.< whatever that drink is called. lol. Then me and Martin rushed to anime club and watched Scryed. We left not long after....I'm not much for that anime I guess...T_T....what next. Oh yeah! Tori wanted to walk around school and see what was happening, so me and Martin tagged along...a few times having to run away from Linh XD hehe, Sandii bowing to Tori, and Martin taking a picture with Jenny for the yearbook. XD All of those, not supposed to happen. Sandii likes Tori, though, Tori doesn't like Sandii, so we find that hilarious. Martin taking a picture with Jenny, well, we say he likes Jenny, though...haha, the pic looked 'picture perfect'...

I didn't exactly miss my bus today, but I guess you could say that. >.< You know, it's really cold and tiring to walk for 30 minutes from your school to home. -_-" Oh well..oh!!! And, Martin finally figuring out I speak Cantonese today. >.< What took him so long? lol..Laterz

11.30.04
Yayz, I've finally got it ^_^" *squeals*I've got Fruits Basket volumes 1 and 2...T_T fourteen volumes..that might be a while after all. lol. I think I've only actually seen 1 to 5 out so far. -_-" Oh well...

School. >.< no more school! lol. I've gotten into reading Forbidden Dance as well..anybody read it? It's about this girl Aya who loses a ballet competition and kinda loses the will to dance again. But, once she sees this group called COOL - a dance troupe made up of guys, she wants to join them. But they won't let her join unless she wins a national ballet competition. ^_^" I find it really interesting, though..it's probably not very. My school has so much manga...I guess I just realized that. 

Anyone heard of Ultra Maniac? The characters are Ayu, Nina, Kaji, and his friend...that I can't remember the name of >.< Well, there's actually a lot of characters. It's about Nina, who transfers to their school. She's a witch. And Ayu is the only one in town that knows, except for this annoying kid...T_T...some very long last name. lol. I'm getting so hooked on it. ^_^" My friend let me borrow his dvd's...eps 1-18 lol

Though it's not thanskgiving today here, I'm still thankful. One reason being that I've found a hostess so quickly. And, two, because I'm still here. ^_^" Though that sounds pretty cheesy, finding a hostess does mean a bit to me. 

We've been watching Fruits Basket during anime club lately, and...well, what can I say. ^_^" I'm hooked! lol. So, I want to get the manga now. And, I was looking on tokyopop.com, and found out there's at least 14 volumes. o.O too many? gonna cost me a bit. lol. anyways, happy thanksgiving! and...er...yeah, if u haven't gotten my Thanksgiving card, u can get it here. It's for all you people's, though...some of you I may forgotten...srries. T_T

Oh yes, no direct linking please. If you want to put this on your site, please save it to your computer and then upload it to your own server. Otherwise. Kathy will go grr....lol.
Posted by Kat at 3:00 PM

11.24.04
Okay T_T...so, I might be losing a hostess....but, here I am again, on the search for another...hopefully, I can be accepted be...somebody...
Posted by Kat at 3:55 PM

11.15.04
Wow...I should've updated more. srries..anyways, I just want to thank all those people out there who said Happy Birthday! ^_^" It's so awesome that you care. lol No updates yet. Been extremely busy over the weekend. I feel kinda worried right now...as though I should be somewhere else. My friend France has a 'heart murmur'. And, I feel as though, I have to physically be there for her. And, it's kinda hard to do that...with being about 50 hours away. T_T. So, keep her in your prayers...

My friend, Tori is starting an anime 'newspaper' ^_^" I get to write in it too. It's so awesome. Of course, it's based pretty much on her work, and her friend's work. Though, Me and Linh are going to write a bit. ^_^" lol. That's exciting. 
Posted by Kat at 3:38 PM

11.10.04
Today's my birthday!!! ^_^" 15. half way to 30. lol. So much happened today. Not only did I have a presentation, and two tests. I celebrated my birthday! ^_^" My friend filled my locker with blown-up balloons. My other friend bought me pocky. ^_^" And, the other brought cupcakes, and we brought candles and everything. lol. We sang 'Happy Birthday!' too. It was so much fun!!

Along with that, I also went to West Ed today, going to two anime stores, though not seeing anything I really wanted, and going to two book stores. Finally, very pleased with their bookstores. ^_^" They have Imadoki!!! Of course, I'm still ahead of them...if you've never heard of it, I say, "GO GET IT!" And, while I was there, bought Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle Volume 2. I need 3 too. lol. ^_^" hehe, i'll get it sooner or later...er...

My friends' birthdays are tomorrow. Happy Birthday to Maggie and Tori!!! ^_^"

11.04.04
Okay, well, I've updated ^^" yeah..well, with fast updates, comes short entries. lol. So, I've added a section called, 'Avatars & Sigs that I've used'...it's kinda selfish, I think. lol. It's pretty much just a section of my site where I now show off all my avs and sigs that I use for the forums I go to, especially in particular, Chibi Forum  

Now, I'll go on with blog...since as, you have to realize that my blog and updates, are pretty much one and the same. lol. Anyways, I'm totally hooked on two songs right now. One is called, "C'est la vie" sung by Komatsu Ayaka...the person who plays Minako in Sailor Moon Live Action. The other is called, "Friends" sung by all of the 'Sailor Scouts', Sawii Miyuu - the person who plays Usagi, Kitagawa Keiko - the one who plays Rei, Hama Chisaki - the one who plays Ami, and Azama Miyuu - who plays Makoto. lol. that was long, anyways, if you want to listen to them, you can go here...a soldier's effigy ... pretty guardian sailor moon

Oh yea, I am also taking requests for avatars and banners. But, it's only open from Nov. 11-24 for now. Since as I don't have that much time, I'll have a limit to it. lol, but I doubt there will be anyone asking anyways. lol. ^_^" So, yeah, laterz.
Posted by Kat at 7:20 PM

11.03.04
I'm finally updating...quicker...anyways, like last update, I've updated the graphics section of the site....putting avatars up...that's it.
Posted by Kat at 7:13 PM

10.31.04
Now, I'm posting updates.....I've updated the awards section and past layouts section. Some awards are now not available, or new versions of it are there now. And also, my past layouts section now has all my past layouts that had ....pretty much, now up to date, so....I know I need some time to do some major revamping, but, we'll see when that time is. 
Posted by Kat at 8:13 PM

10.29.04
Hey there. ^_^" Finally, another update, and yeah, it's gonna be Halloween on Sunday. T_T...another 'day' that people just get candy for no real reason. lol. My new friends were like willing to pay me, if I actually went trick-or-treating with them. And, obviously, I denied. But, yeah..

Today, was quite interesting, being two days before Halloween, people dressed up here at Ainlay. ^_^" The most weirdest....-_-" and, when I say, weirdest I mean it. lol. costume of today....(The weirdest costume of today) was from this guy my friend knew. Hehe, what was he wearing? Not much. ^_^" He pretty much only wore boxers and a small box around his *cough cough* and nothing else. T_T...Kinda disturbing,  and funny. lol. But, it's especially disturbing, if you've just entered school, and that's the first thing you see. lol. Especially, if you're still half asleep too.

It's so cool. I found out, that one of the speakers at my church Evangel Baptist Chinese Church that's speaking on Sunday.....I know his son. ^_^" I can't believe it took me that long to find out that was him..But, yeah, that's pretty cool. lol 

I've been so busy with school lately...hopefully, I won't pass out or anything. ^_^" hehe, j/k anyways, school just seems to be getting more stressful...When I was down in the states....I don't remember it being this bad. I mean, I don't remember ever having a week where every single day, I have at least one test. T_T....except for finals and midterms..that's kinda obvious...oh well....I need sleep..lol. So, laterz.
Posted by Kat at 8:08 PM

10.23.04
Hm...well, there's not much to say, since as it's only been two days...yippee, first update, that's not in a while. lol. Anyways, I got two new affies! Yayz! Lost Reality and Absent Soul, so go check 'em out! ^_^" Just go to my affies page! 

I've added a new page to the site, probably one that you won't go to anyways, but since as my links page was getting a bit cluttered...I have separated my affies with exchanges. -_-" finally. lol.

YTV...er...kinda mad at them right now. I missed one episode!! And it was a good one too...-_-" oh well...hopefully they'll show it once again....we all hope, right-e-o beyblade fanatics. ^_^"

Anyways, so that's that, I'll update more hopefully, though with my five tests next week, I'm not sure when. ^_^" 
Posted by Kat at 2:22 PM

10.21.04
My longest hiatus ever....two days. ^_^" Congrats to myself though, I made a layout...^_^" Yayz! Oh yeah, someone said they wanted to use my old layouts or something....I might recreate them, and have a free layouts section with those, including some new ones I created. Anyways, this new layout is of Pita Ten....er....not sure what her name is, anyways, just scroll right, and all the linkage is there. 

I'm happy, I've got an A in both English and Japanese...hopefully, that'll keep my grade up...T_T...I'll need them. lol. Suddenly, it feels to me, like everyone knows what they want to do in life. And people here seem to make their choices very quickly. My sister's thinking about it, my friend wants to be a manga-ka...manga artist...anime artist..whatever. lol. Another a doctor, a pediatrician, Me? Well, I haven't decided. Of course, my dad suggests I be something like a lawyer..since as it doesn't have to do with science. ^_^" Which, I'm just really bad at...T_T...and my mom, wants me to....well, is forcing on me, to be an eye doctor. T_T...I already said I don't want to do anything in science....oh well...
Posted by Kat at 7:14 PM

10.19.04
I havent update in a long time....oh well...anyways, since then, my dad's coming home on friday....er...I found out I have an A- in design class...and a B+ in Chem...and..that's it so far. ^_^"lol.

Today, was interesting, I guess you could say. My friends started fighting...the two girls did something to the guy and $!#* lol. It was kinda hectic, ending up with a guy, mad at the two girls, saying that he wouldn't talk to them for four weeks. Precise or what. ^_^"

Everyone would know I wasn't involved. T_T Kathy always has to do homework during lunch. Reason only being that I have to finish most of my homework before I get home...I have too much to do ....that includes piano. which...I won't tell again, since I have oh so many times. ^_^ lol. laterz....
Posted by Kat at 3:58 PM

10.11.04
Hm...what should I say, well, today's my last day of my four-day weekend..T_T..hen tomorrow, I have two tests, the day after one. -_-" Chem, is not fun. lol. I need sleep. My mom's been on the phone all morning. uh, meaning from 7:00 to 8:00..T_T..how am I supposed to actually sleep in? lol.Anyways, laterz
Posted by Kat at 7:50 AM

10.07.04
Wow, it's always a while till I update. ^_^" Well, dan, yes, a four day weekend is cool. lol. I need the break by the way. Besides, it's Thanksgiving here...of course, it just seems too early to me. Hoping my mom won't be wanting to celebrate till November...I guess I'm still not used to Canada, got to live here for a year to finally get into...i guess...

Anyways, I'm so bored..I took this history test yesterday, that I just know I did so poorly on...-_-" It was mad hard, plus, I do have a disadvantage, since as most of the students should know some of the material already. I have to catch up on that...hopefully, I'll get somewhere near an 80. ^_^"

and yeah, I got bored yesterday, so I made a new banner for one of the forums I'd joined - Chibi Forum...I've been there for so long, I can't believe it' still running and active, show's how good that forum is I guess. lol.


oh yea...I'll probably start making avatars now...I'm bored this weekend. lol. it's more like a three day weekend though, cuz I still have to go to piano. T_T...oh well.
Posted by Kat at 6:32 AM

10.01.04
Anyways, today is Friday..and sadly, have nothing at all to do...I probably should be making a new layout or something....but, I just don't feel like it, plus I have time for it next week, since as I do have a four day weekend.!! Yippee! lol. hm...I'm kinda sad I guess, I went to piano, totally exhausted, coming home, finding that my VCR didn't tape....@_@ oh well...it's not that important anyway...lol

I think my dad's like obsessed with gummy cola bottles now...I mean, my dad bought so much. lol. and jujubes. I can't think of anything....T_T....oh, ^_^" I know...if you haven't been to Christy's site yet, you should and go read her manga ^_^" They're absolutely awesome! Christy's Comics 

Yeah, uh...Japanese is going underway...I'm learning a lot really fast too....I'm surprised how fast an hour can go by..I mean regularly, my classes would probably be about 45 minutes in length..I think, it's pretty good to go that fast, I guess. and, that'll be my update for today, cuz I can't think of anything else to say. lol.
Posted by Kat at 7:22 PM

09.28.04
Okay....so, I'm getting a little lazy on updates...sorries. ^_^" Anyways, it seems as though I have no time at the moment...I've just been so busy, especially since my dad's here for the week. I'm very happy, got three new manga!! ^_^" lol. Imadoki, Prince of Tennis, and Mink...yeah I don't think they sell those here...but that's alright. 

Recently, I've picked up sewing as a hobby....I've been making a Rei Kon doll....maybe I'm just obsessing...or maybe, I'm thinking about making dolls for my friends, if it turns out alright. lol. ^_^" But, They don't make Rei Kon dolls yet....especially since he's from beyblade...all those fan girls like the characters for the show, not the beyblades. ^_^" oh well....My next little project will be for making Kai Hiwatari. ^_^" *squeals* I really want a Kai doll. ^_^" lol. So, I'm gonna make one...I'm having problems with making eyes for the doll though...my mom suggested using buttons...but, then it wouldn't really look very anime-ish...would it? Anyways, if you've got suggestions, help me. lol.
Posted by Kat at 7:13 PM

09.23.04
23rd....23rd...yay! tomorrow, my dad's coming back for a visit!! ^_^" uh, took my bio test today....it was actually easier than I thought it'd be....and that really scared me...I mean, it's not that I studied a lot, last night, but, then again, I studied a lot this morning... I got to school early and sat in the library just to study. Then my friend Martin scares me and asks me what our japanese quiz is on...-_-" seriously scared me. lol But that's alright...lol hm...then what happened....oh, Gravitation, it's a manga that I've recently borrowed to read....the animation I believe is awesome, the story, a little scary...oh well...

Hm..I can't think of anything else, oh well...I'll update soon then...later.

09.21.04
I know this probably sounds cheesy...but, Tim Hortons donuts are awesome!! Especially the Canadian maple kind. ^_^" I've loved them for a while...actually..surprising...really.. i mean at home, all we have are dunkin donuts...and they're not known for their donuts, but their coffee....which isn't all that great. ^_^" I guess that's kinda sad...

hm...anyways, I think my cold's clearing up a bit...*hooray for me. ^_^"* That's really good, since i just realized that i actually have to do two presentations on friday....one right after the other...T_T..that sux, one's reading a current event, the other, presenting a comic strip that i drew and wrote....actually, i like how it came out...I'll try to scan it when i can...I actually used the same title as my manga that I'm working on...of course though *gomen* I haven't had a chance to work on it....I most likely won't be able to work on it for a while...I've found japanese quite useful now...anyways, i won't waste my time with that...so, ja ne.

Okay, I found more to say...it's like almost nine now...but that's alright, i was looking for information on Beyblade G-Rev, and found out some awesome things...
look, robert and johnny actually are in season 3...even though they lost getting into the finals.
wow...boris too...T_T well, just wanted to show you all...

if the pics don't show...just go to destination: beyblade, that's where I found them.

As most of you know...I've changed my old Rei/ray beyblade layout to Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles....I actually was gonna put up a Witch Hunter Robin layout...but it didn't work out, and gave me so many technical problems...so, here's the new layout! ^_^"
Posted by Kat at 7:39 PM

 

09.19.04
Okay, today was a total bore...started out with me being...well, feeling so sick...now, I'm so hot, even with an open window...but, my cold seems to be not as severe has this morning. ^_^" I guess that's a good thing...

Sometimes, I feel as though...surrounding friends aren't needed..just yourself, is all you need to survive...
But then I think of all the things that have happened last year in french class with France, and Dan, and all the things that happened in my science class last year with Luis, Kristan, Dan, and Brendan. I can admit, it was a total blast!! ^_^" Without them, I probably couldn't have survived last year...without that fun at school...-_-" even though Luis kinda got a little annoying at times...he made it all the more fun..*plus, I got to hit him ^_^"*

What do I do now...I can admit that my new friends are so much fun. But I feel as though something's missing...something...that's lacking compared to last year...maybe it's just another one of those days that I'm homesick..I guess I just want to see them again...and France hasn't even talked to me in quite a bit, so I'm a little worried..

I can admit, that I'm so happy that I'm not taking French this year...T_T...I hated it...it was just so boring last year...but this year, taking Japanese...it's just so much fun! ^_^" I'm very proud of myself, since as on Saturday, I finished my bio lab...''Cheer for me!!!" lol. I'm so glad that's done and over with...anyways, I'll update soon...hopefully..pray that I get better soon...at least before friday, since as I have to read my current event to the class...T_T

Today, is like so bad....T_T...not only do I get sick...My eyes hurt extremely, my nose is all stuffy, and I can barely talk...well, I can, but, it feels 'sah' ...uh, not exactly sure how to say that in english. ^_^" I don't like getting sick....-_-" My friend was telling me all this about how scientists think that each person gets sick at least once in September... of course, I had no idea what she was talking about. ^_^" lol. but, oh well.

Well, I found out that there was is a manga club...i guess it sounds pretty cool. What really amazed me is how one of the girls could draw just so well...one of her pictures was my fav... Mink..of course, I know not a lot of people know about that series, unless you know how to read japanese or chinese or something...I only have volumes 1 2 and 3...so, yeah..i don't know much bout it. But, what I don't get is how come Mandarin people know how to speak mandarin, but not cantonese..they're variations of the same thing...I mean, I can understand a word here and there, but I can understand where they're coming from...

I should probably be resting..Since I feel so sick, I probably shouldn't have even gone to school today, but, that's alright, since I didn't have a fever...at least, I don't think I do...

It's kinda funny how people just bring new manga to school that others haven't seen, and those people are the ones that talk badly of the company that makes it...yet, they want to read it themselves...^_^" Of course, I don't mind, since as they are my friends, and would love to show them the manga, since the art is just fantastic...*I'm talking about Fushigi Yugi* But, isn't that kinda being...a hypocrite...sorta? 

Ack, it's so mean, today, in design class, we have to use masking tape to tape our paper's to the drafting table...it was so mean...lol When I was ripping the tape of, my palm got hurt...on the metal ripping part...T_T...and it started bleeding...I wonder how many modules I have to do for Design class....-_-" too many. lol. Well, i feel as though I have too much to do now...i have a bio lab due the 22nd, i have a current event due for the 24th, I have a module for design class due the 22nd, A comic, that I have to start writing a script to...due sometime next week..a myth report for english due..sometime next week too..and i think that's it...*I guess that's a good thing*....but, it's still kinda depressing, i just have so much more to do now...oh well, I guess I should start it then...

So, what's new? lolz, I dunno. ^_^" I feel as though I'm ahead in my design class, if that's a good thing...we had to make a logo for our 'design/drafting' company. At first I thought we were supposed to make a logo of our name. -_-" ...so, I drew a cat...then, found out exactly what we had to do...and kinda merged what I wanted to do with what I have to do. ^_^" My company's called Drafting Meow Corp. lol..at least my teacher liked it..I didn't exactly. lol. It was embarrassing. ^_^"

The manga I created..well started, is probably going to be on hold...T_T...because that I have to make a comic for school ...and, actually, maybe I'll do a reversion of my started manga for my homework..:P But, it kinda hard, since it has to be limited to 8 panels...T_T...and my first page is at least ten. lol. I'll see though...maybe it'll work out. ^_^"

Each summer, I start going crazy and read all of my manga that I own at least once...or twice. ^_^" lol. And, sadly this year, since as not having much time because of moving, I'm still reading my manga...T_T...it's kinda getting in the way of my home work, but then again, not much of a big deal, usually read it before i go to sleep, before i leave the house to go to the bus...and any other time I have time...but, it's kinda like my time's wasting away. lol. ^_^" 

Anyways, Dan...where are ya? Like I said in my last update, wanted to know if I could use Seimoeru...his name. lol. Otherwise, if you're not replying here, I'm gonna IM ya. ^_^" lol. 

I've actually started on next month's layout...I guess I've been changing it less and less sorry, but if I have a lot of time, I might change it mid month. ^_^" Oh, sorry Miroku-chan, I know I was supposed to do chobits....but, I kinda wanted to do Witch Hunter Robin, so, yeah...I have that one ready...

I also might create an anime free layout section...I think I mentioned that before, I just never had the time to put it up..as soon as I get the chance for that, I'll put that up too...So, I guess till next update...

 

09.12.04
Well...do you know what's the best song? lol. Blessed Be the Name of Your Lord I don't know whether it's just that I've been listening to this song all week, or that it's just so touching. ^_^" Plus, it's stuck in my head, and the melodies amazing. lol. If i can, I'll put it up as my new song...

Well, from what I heard and read in other people's blogs, September 11th, has been another remembrance day...just like last year. ^_^" I'm surprised people up here in Canada don't mention it...maybe because they don't care all much..since it's not their country...or maybe it's just that it slipped their minds, or didn't want to say it...I haven't seen it on the news either...What I find really annoying to me, living here in Canada is that the Canadian News channels don't say anything at all about other countries news...they say nothing of U.S...nothing at all....I mean, at least U.S. channels talk about other countries...but then again, it's probably because they have U.S. channels too. 

I'm so psyched!! on Saturday, I started drawing a manga...my cover page kinda sux....I probably need to fix it up a bit. The manga's called Crystal Shadows, I was trying to be original...hopefully that is...and also trying to get a title that fit my character-My RPG character that I've used on many forums. I can give the background story now...but I might not upload the pages of my manga...till I finish the whole thing of chapter one, which probably will be a while, since as I've only done an introductory panel page for my story. And a cover page for chapter one...so, it'll probably be a while...

So, here it is: Here in Tokyo, Japan, resides a girl. Her name is Meilin Hinote. An outcast that feels she doesn't belong. Living on her own is not her only trouble, but also striving to find out who she truly is. Her parents; dead, her brother; someone dear to her, yet knows nothing about. He was said to be killed as well. All that's left is Meilin. See how she deals with the rest of her magical and mysterious life in Crystal Shadows.

So, what do you think? I kinda find it a little lame, but, I'm kinda curious myself to find what'll happen to Meilin. lol. ^^" Oh yeah, Dan, wondering if you mind if use Seimoeru? I might use him as a character...I mean his name at least. ^^" lol. I need a reply from you for that. lol. Anyways, I'll try to update more often during the week, hopefully that'll be a possibillity.

 

09.11.04
Today, the 11th...that means, I've gone to school for 7 days. ^_^" And, today's September 11th...I wonder how it's going wth ppl in the U.S... I mean, since as September 11th, is just so meaningful nowadays...I didn't even realize it was today, till ...just now. lol. ^_^" school work seems to be not as crazy as I thought it would...people here seem to be...more free...

What I mean is that they can do whatever they want...because they have so much time on their hands...while in Connecticut, my friend France has Honors English and she has to read a lot of books, or so she told me, at least. ^_^" lol. 

Yesterday, was Clubs Day at Harry Ainlay Highschool. My friend wanted to find the kung-fu club...we couldn't find it...then another one of my friends wanted to join the Dead Poet's Society...and it wasn't there either...but when I went with him, I got hit. lol. -_-" accidentally of course...some people there just are really wacky...they'll do much anything and not care..but oh well...But, Linh, me, Tori, and Martin all joined the Anime Club. And, I think that's pretty cool. We all have something in common. I've been borrowing manga from Tori also...Gravitation. It's actually alright...but it's shonen-ai...which I have to admit, is kinda scary. ^_^" But, I did tell her that I've seen worse. lol.

Anyways, it seems like I'm talking less and less to my friends in Connecticut, I used to talk so much to them...I guess it's hard to keep contact if you're just so far away...T__T...I still talk to France...here and there...but, somehow, whenever we get on AIM ...we go on at different times...plus it sux that school here starts at 8:14 rather 7:30...and ends at 3:14 rather than 2:15...so, I don't know ...if I go on at 3:30...it's her dinner time.....ugh...this is kinda annoying now...but, hopefully it'll be fine for me...I wish I could go back to Connecticut...I'm kinda homesick right now...How can I be homesick..if my home is now here...I'm still thinking. lol. ^_^" I miss the small-town life...the walking home from the bus stop, the three level school, the stews...the barnes & noble, waldenbooks, my old house, cartoon network, abc family, eating hotdogs and hamburgers, crossaintwiches at burger king...all in all, i miss a whole lot. Anyways, laterz.

 

09.06.04
Well...what can I say...as Miroku says.."Update more!" lol. just kidding. As of right now, I'm studying for japanese. ^_^" Yea, you heard me right, japanese. That's a first for Kat...then again, it's a first for probably everyone in my class. Most anime fans would think that japanese is common knowledge...but...that's technically not true. T_T...I don't know any...lol. So, I'm still learning the sounds....and starting to write the characters...Ack...it's so hard....now I know why I never did Chinese. lol. If I actually did Chinese when I was younger...I bet this would probably be much easier. One of my mom's friends said that Japanese is really easy. And, that a lot of Chinese take it. But, the thing is that yes, there are a lot of Chinese, but, the reason being it's so easy for them is because most of them had to go through Chinese school...I didn't have to...lol. What else....I feel so busy..even without getting a lot of homework..lol...uh...yeah..hm...I can't think...lol. sorries...All i can think about right now is japanese...since it's right in front of me. lol.

Oh!!! Today in Canada! They're starting to show Beyblade G-Revolution! If someone can...please tell me when ABCFamily is showing it. I'm just interested at knowing when it airs...that's all...I'm pretty sure actually that it had already started..but oh well. lol. laterz.

 

09.04.04
Okay...I know what you're all thinking...what's the deal, why aren't ya updating...well, i've just been so busy...T_T... already told ya'll bout my piano...my new problem is just school work in general...i feel as though I've got not time...T_T hm...what else...oh yeah, it was the funniest thing. my friend was telling me about how he had to draw a book cover for math class. lol. ^_^" It made me laugh. lol. Of course, being him, drew anime characters, and one a prize. lol.

Now what....I'm watching Space Jam...i'm so tired too...but, that's like stating the obvious, since as some one would say, "You're always tired!" ^_^" I felt like so stupid in history class. we had to answer trivia or something...and I didn't get any of them at all. All about canadian history. T_T...why should I know any of these anyways....but I still feel stupid. lol.

Lately, I've been reading so many fanfics...found out my school has a lot of anime fans...most of them are a bit...*crazy in the head* ...don't know if that's understandable..lol. i mean, these people like anime, but, they are so ....@_@ crazy...i can't find another word to use for it...I used to think anime fans were all...kinda...reserved..lol...I guess that's just me than. lol. oh well...anyways, hopefully, I'll update more. laterz.

08.29.04
Yesterday, I forgot to tell you all about my new layout, when I put it up...Don't you think i should know the dates of when I put it up? I could put that in the past layout section...but, hey...oh well. ^_^" Anywho...this layout is of Rei Kon from Beyblade. ^_^" Because I'm hyped up about G Revolution...of course, this pic's from V-Force...or Beyblade 2002. Totally looking forward to that. Ack, haven't played piano today...too tired. T_T..I think i need someone to like slap me or something just to keep me awake. ^_^"

Sometimes, I feel like my friends in Connecticut are my only hope.

From Finding Nemo:
When life puts you down,
What do you do?
Just keep swimming,
Just keep swimming,
Swimming swimming,
What do we do?
We swim.

At least in the words of Dory, Life makes sense. ^_^" But, my meaning of my friends being my only hope is that when i told one of them that i had to practice piano for two hours...and felt like I was over working myself, all he did was reply sayin'," Still, in a couple of years when you're playin sold out shows in some fancy opera house in europe you'll be glad you took the extra time." In some ways, it cracked my up...but, I'm still glad he's there for me. ^_^" Hope you don't mind I posted it Dan. lol.

I was trying to make icons the other day...100x100s...and I found out...that my icons weren't see-through...T_T...so, if i used them on colored backgrounds, they're still white..i'm still figuring how to fix that... but, now, i think I won't make Icons for my graphics section, maybe just templates...^_^" I'm pretty good that. lol.

Ack, everybody's favorite time of year. September 1st, is the day I start school. ^_^" In someways, I'm glad...part of my new adventure: taking on a new school, new locker, new hallways, new teachers, new friends, new enemies. T_T..I'll get lost!! that's alright..Hopefully, I'll figure it out, and still have time for homework, and piano...like I said, hope. Anyways, I'll update some more...laterz. bye ^_^"

 

08.28.04
Yesterday, I went to orientation to Harry Ainlay high school. ^_^" I had to pay my fees and all that...surprising NHS doesn't have too..hmm...what's cool is that I met two people in my link crew that both like anime. ^_^" Plus, we got lockers together too..i guess that sounds kinda cheesy eh? lol.

Today's a gloomy looking...rainy day...and all I can keep thinking about it yesterday. Yesterday, I had to go meet my new piano teacher. T_T... i feel like i'm kinda over working myself. Not only am I going into IB at Ainlay, but now working at a 9 level in piano, and have to practice for 2 hours!! Who can actually pay attention for 2 hours. lol. I think I have ADHD or something. -_-" ...can't sit still. lol. I'm so suprised on the load for the 9 level..i have to work on about 5 songs...no wonder these people in Canada practice for 2 hours. T_T oh well. pray for me. thanx. laterz.

 

08.25.04
Well, I haven't been updating much lately...T_T sorry. But, I hae been adding more poems to the Writing section of my site. So, you can always check that out. There's usually an update at least every 2 days. And, we even found another person to contribute some of their work. If anybody's interested in contributing their work, then, I would be glad to put it up on my writing site and put all credit up belonging to you. So, if you're interested, please sign the tagboard (or comment) or just e-mail me.

I've got orientation on friday...it seems this year. that summer has gone by too quickly. Maybe it's just because I didn't leave Connecticut till mid July...T_T Somehow, I kinda wish we left earlier, that way, my summer vacation would seem a bit longer, don't you think? lol. Anyways, school starts September 1st. And surprisingly, found out that down at my old school, they're starting the 2nd. ^_^" I don't know whether I should be glad or not that I'm starting school first, but, in some ways I guess I am. lol. 

I've been wanting to change the layout, but I haven't had much ideas for a new layout yet. I've actually made a new Rei-Beyblade one...but, it just seems so simple...so, I might wait a bit longer so I can find brushes or something to add onto the layout. anyways, laterz.

 

08.21.04
Yay! I've finally updated my site! ^_^" My friend Shorty...and I have created a new part of my site, the Writing section. It contains both my poem/songs, and hers as well. Writing Go check it out! ^_^"

Did I say that my stuff has arrived? I'm so glad. I have all my anime stuff now, and I don't have to read the same three manga over and over again. ^_^" lol. Now, I'm watching Knights of the Zodiac. It's actually not that bad. ^_^" Anyways, laterz.

 

08.14.04
Ack...I'm so sorry, as I have pretty much settled in, I was supposed to update more often. ^_^" Didn't slip my mind...just kinda forgot...I guess that's the same thing isn't it...lol Well, the only thing new with me, is that my dad is planning to move back to U.S. and continue the job that he got fired from..kinda stupid I think that people would fire him, then hire him again for the same job...^_^"

Oh well...I kinda miss my things, since they haven't arrived yet...but that's okay...I've been really depressed lately, since I've been thinking that maybe my friends in Connecticut have pretty much forgotten me.... but, yesterday, I was just so happy, since as I got a call from France, and totally finally got to talk to her...but, the only reason she was gone was because she was on vacation, and I just didn't know it.

My dad thinks that I've changed....I'm not exactly sure bout that one...I think in someways, I have...the only thing I think that all the feelings I had bottled in in Connecticut, that I didn't want to let out, finally did...I'm not sure, is that a good thing, or a bad thing...to me, it just seems as though, I've burst a bubble, and finally can't take a lot of stress....but, I'll try to deal, my dad made me find a new way to transfer all my frustration. lol.

Also, watching Fox today, saw that they've got some new anime shows ahead. ^_^" Showing sneak peeks of One Piece, Tokyo Mew Mew (changed the name to Mew Mew Power), and F-Zero GP Legend. Vote Here for your favorite They also show the previews for you. ^_^" Can you guess what I'm choosing? lol. Of course, the lovely Tokyo Mew Mew. ^_^" Loved it a long time ago. Maybe it'll be a little too shoujo for everybody, but I really like it. ^_^" lol. Anyways, laterz.

 

08.05.04
What can I say...hm...oh, the Piano people...the people who are moving our piano, are coming today. Yay! I get a new piano. ^_^" Well, I'm kinda bored around here, nothing to do much...tomorrow's Water Fight. But, I really don't want to go. Bad experience at Hawrelak Park. Nothing bad happened, just that I got a bug bite there during Heritage Festival and it was itchy for about 5 days...now, it's a bump...T_T..lol. Oh well..

Hm.what else, um..I've already talked about manga here...I don't think I talked about anime shows...They don't really have that many...Down in the U.S., they have Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Rave Master, and so many others I just can't remember right now. The good thing is that they've got Cardcaptor Sakura up here. ^_^" Which, I'm very happy for. But, I can admit it myself that they don't have much here...and still wondering how they can have so little resources, but still have an anime club...

I was thinking about buying manga online, since as they don't have many at the bookstores here...but, Canada taxes people on packages coming into the country...so, that's probably a bad idea. My parents are deciding that my dad should go back to the states and work. So, maybe he can buy me manga while he's down there...^_^" And, then he can bring it back up here on the holidays when he comes to visit or something...I don't know what I'll do without him...

Well, aren't you people pyched (sp?) about the new Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie? lol.

And, actually, the movie seems so awesome. ^^" I can't wait, comes out August 13th. ^_^" And the trailer just seems awesome as well... I guess they have to find some way to get people to see it. Surprisingly, it's in theaters. Would be my first time watching an anime movie in theaters. lol Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie Trailer

As much as I want to update, meaning changing my layout...I can't, at least not at the moment...but I made a great new layout....very simple, very plain, but I like it. ^_^"Can't tell you what kinda anime it'll be...it's a surprise...even though most of you probably won't like it. lol.

Well, on Saturday, we went to Heritage Festival, which was pretty fun. It was worth it for the book I got...which was more like a magazine...that was free ^_^" lol. It's all on Anime!!! lol. Then, on Sunday, we went to West Edmonton mall...and saw the Giovanni Yamaha Music Store...and found out that they really didn't sell that much music. lol. But, we pretty much went just to see pianos...since we needed to buy one for me.. but, we found one at a good price. it was about 3000 I think...but definately worth it...even though not a yamaha..T_T..lol. we didn't buy it till monday.

On Monday, we went back to the store, and found out that my level is somewhere in between 8, 9 or 10. ^_^" yay! *jumps for joy* Very proud of that...even though I still suck at theory and history..lol. and then the boss person...gave us t-shirts...and hot chocolate. ^_^" yeah..dont ask. lol. anyways, "france, where've ya been?"

Oh, and I got a new cell ^_^" Great plan...too, I think...besides the fact that the phone doesn't look all that great...I get unlimited incoming calls, 100 minutes to anywhere in U.S. and Canada...plus 100 minutes in Edmonton. ^_^" lol, too much for me to use...T_T laterz.

07.26.04
something happened in winnipeg...tell others later what really happened...if interested..

Anyways, we're moving into our apartment tomorrow. It's a small place, but good enough. Only problem is that me and Kim have to share a room. Kim can't live at dorm anymore...she wasn't accepted into U of A.. so, she has to take what we call 'upgrading classes' and 'Open studies'. Don't ask me. lol. Anyways, went to church yesterday..speaker talked about 'The Power of Word'. It was pretty cool. lol. And, I met a few people too. They were really really friendly. I'm seriously surprised. If you compare my old church, to this one here...the youth is ten times bigger...plus all Chinese...and, just really friendly. ^_^" lol.

Miss my friends...was in contact with France...if you're reading this.."YOU TAKE TOO LONG TO REPLY!" lol. anyways, what else...um, oh!! School. Got registered at Harry Ainlay Composite High School. And, the size is like woah!! comparing it to Norwalk High at least. Didn't even realize there were like no windows till someone in the church told me. lol. But, I find it kinda funny. my dad said, it might be because Harry Ainlay might've used to have been a prison or something...but that's definately not true...since Norwalk High seriously was one, and has so many windows. lol. Also, I found out that their book stores here, aren't much. T_T sadly for me at least. I'm probably going to have to buy online or something. Which sux...kinda. The best thing I could find outta anime and manga sorta thing, was that their 'how to draw' books are awesome compared to CT. I bought one for about 30 Canadian dollars... about 20 US. And, that's pretty good. lol. But, the manga on the other hand, they seem so behind...they don't even have the ones I have...T_T

Piano...what can I say. I wish I were still in Connecticut. Would seem I was ahead. here, seems I'm behind. Here, they learn history, theory, and playing piano...just on top of that, seems so much. T_T I don't see how people here can take that much...but hey, they're used to it. I'll have to do that too I guess if I want to major in music, but of course, being Kat here, having second thoughts bought that. Thinking about going into design...like interior design, or architecture...or soemthing. lol. being a lawyer too!! love to argue. lol. ^_^" But, hey, who knows...anyways, I'll talk laterz when I have more time. Oh, to all in Connecticut. Remember, I'm two hours behind, you're two hours ahead.

Okay, Just wanted to tell all that actually come to my site that I'm leaving tomorrow at 3 in the morning to Canada. Stopping by Toronto to see some relatives... then continuing on our almost one week drive. ^_^" Anyways, I won't be able to update because of me having no internet access yet. So, as soon as do get internet, I'll update. ^_^" lolz. laterz.
Posted by Kat at 8:15 PM

 

07.11.04
Well, what can I say, it's been a while for updates. The only reasons being that I've been in the process of moving, as most of you should already know, if you're reading my blog. ^_^" lol. And, me, being on vacation. Also, my dad got me a labtop, and I'm trying to transfer all my information on my desktop computer to the new labtop. And the labtop doesn't have Microsoft Frontpage. T_T....but, I'll manage to update more as soon as it is loaded. And, having to be in the process of moving, no internet access. T_T. lol.

But, anyways, next about the layout. lol. Well, I've made a new one. Just, that I'm still thinking if it's good enough. And, also deciding to put in a 'Free Layout' section of my site...dunno yet, I am having fun with making them though...but for making the pop-up ones, I need my internet. T_T. lol.

Okay, vacation. ^_^" lol. Well, I went to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Went to Falmouth, went to the library several times to check my e-mail and my website. Went to Woodshole...not sure if that's one word, or two. lol. Went to Martha's Vineyard...wasn't that fun...um, went to Hyannis...big mall...and then...I went to Provincetown. ^_^" I was mad tired that day, and there was an enormously large bumble bee/bug thingy that kept following me. T_T...yeah, my parents wanted to go hiking...then, we went to the city in Provincetown, where we went to see the Pilgrim's monument or something. That was kinda cool. lol. Hm..what else…um, and then pretty much it took three hours from Connecticut to Cape Cod, where I am now. ^_^”

It seems to be raining right now…but then again, it must look like this-really really foggy, a lot here in Cape Cod.

Ugh…now I’m really thinking if I really want to move to Canada. I mean, it’s not that bad, the area seems really nice from what I know from what I’ve seen last year. lol. But, I’m just so scared right now…I guess this sorta thing always happens to me. Things don’t seem so bad, till they actually occur, like the time of the Young Musicians Festival. It wasn’t scary till I had to go first. ^_^”

And, yeah, yesterday was Canada Day! Nothing special I guess for Americans, but, a nice reminder, since we were in Calgary that week, last year. ^_^” And, what can I say, it was really fun. lol. Just thinking about it, just seems like so much excitement! Oh well, I guess long updates/entries always show up on my site if I haven’t updated in a while. ^_^” Sorry. lol. Oh, and also, along with the ‘Free Layout’ section of my site that will be added, there will be an error sign section….maybe some splashes…and a section of pics just from my Farewell party and from my room…and this other Farewell party with Jennie, and Patchogue-with Kim’s Hanson concert…too bad I don’t have many of those. Anyways, till next update. ^_^”

Sorry for now updating for so long...I've been in process of moving lol..of course, most of you already know that. Anyways, I haven't moved yet, sadly, I'm still in Connecticut. moving on Monday or Tuesday because my sister's passport hasn't arrived yet, for renewal. Oh well. I don't have microsoft frontpage on my computer, and this new layout is just making me mad, since it's an 800x600. Sorry. ^_^" I myself am hating since it is. I have to change my screen now everytime I want to see it, otherwise it's gonna looked really messed up...anyways, I'll talk laterz, lol.

At least in the words of Dory, Life makes sense. ^_^" But, my meaning of my friends being my only hope is that when i told one of them that i had to practice piano for two hours...and felt like I was over working myself, all he did was reply sayin'," Still, in a couple of years when you're playin sold out shows in some fancy opera house in europe you'll be glad you took the extra time." In some ways, it cracked my up...but, I'm still glad he's there for me. ^_^" Hope you don't mind I posted it Dan. lol.

I was trying to make icons the other day...100x100s...and I found out...that my icons weren't see-through...T_T...so, if i used them on colored backgrounds, they're still white..i'm still figuring how to fix that... but, now, i think I won't make Icons for my graphics section, maybe just templates...^_^" I'm pretty good that. lol.

Ack, everybody's favorite time of year. September 1st, is the day I start school. ^_^" In someways, I'm glad...part of my new adventure: taking on a new school, new locker, new hallways, new teachers, new friends, new enemies. T_T..I'll get lost!! that's alright..Hopefully, I'll figure it out, and still have time for homework, and piano...like I said, hope. Anyways, I'll update some more...laterz. bye ^_^"

Yesterday, I went to orientation to Harry Ainlay high school. ^_^" I had to pay my fees and all that...surprising NHS doesn't have too..hmm...what's cool is that I met two people in my link crew that both like anime. ^_^" Plus, we got lockers together too..i guess that sounds kinda cheesy eh? lol.

Today's a gloomy looking...rainy day...and all I can keep thinking about it yesterday. Yesterday, I had to go meet my new piano teacher. T_T... i feel like i'm kinda over working myself. Not only am I going into IB at Ainlay, but now working at a 9 level in piano, and have to practice for 2 hours!! Who can actually pay attention for 2 hours. lol. I think I have ADHD or something. -_-" ...can't sit still. lol. I'm so suprised on the load for the 9 level..i have to work on about 5 songs...no wonder these people in Canada practice for 2 hours. T_T oh well. pray for me. thanx. laterz.

Well, I haven't been updating much lately...T_T sorry. But, I hae been adding more poems to the Writing section of my site. So, you can always check that out. There's usually an update at least every 2 days. And, we even found another person to contribute some of their work. If anybody's interested in contributing their work, then, I would be glad to put it up on my writing site and put all credit up belonging to you. So, if you're interested, please sign the tagboard (or comment) or just e-mail me.

I've got orientation on friday...it seems this year. that summer has gone by too quickly. Maybe it's just because I didn't leave Connecticut till mid July...T_T Somehow, I kinda wish we left earlier, that way, my summer vacation would seem a bit longer, don't you think? lol. Anyways, school starts September 1st. And surprisingly, found out that down at my old school, they're starting the 2nd. ^_^" I don't know whether I should be glad or not that I'm starting school first, but, in some ways I guess I am. lol. 

I've been wanting to change the layout, but I haven't had much ideas for a new layout yet. I've actually made a new Rei-Beyblade one...but, it just seems so simple...so, I might wait a bit longer so I can find brushes or something to add onto the layout. anyways, laterz.

 

08.21.04
Yay! I've finally updated my site! ^_^" My friend Shorty...and I have created a new part of my site, the Writing section. It contains both my poem/songs, and hers as well. Writing Go check it out! ^_^"

Did I say that my stuff has arrived? I'm so glad. I have all my anime stuff now, and I don't have to read the same three manga over and over again. ^_^" lol. Now, I'm watching Knights of the Zodiac. It's actually not that bad. ^_^" Anyways, laterz.

 

08.14.04
Ack...I'm so sorry, as I have pretty much settled in, I was supposed to update more often. ^_^" Didn't slip my mind...just kinda forgot...I guess that's the same thing isn't it...lol Well, the only thing new with me, is that my dad is planning to move back to U.S. and continue the job that he got fired from..kinda stupid I think that people would fire him, then hire him again for the same job...^_^"

Oh well...I kinda miss my things, since they haven't arrived yet...but that's okay...I've been really depressed lately, since I've been thinking that maybe my friends in Connecticut have pretty much forgotten me.... but, yesterday, I was just so happy, since as I got a call from France, and totally finally got to talk to her...but, the only reason she was gone was because she was on vacation, and I just didn't know it.

My dad thinks that I've changed....I'm not exactly sure bout that one...I think in someways, I have...the only thing I think that all the feelings I had bottled in in Connecticut, that I didn't want to let out, finally did...I'm not sure, is that a good thing, or a bad thing...to me, it just seems as though, I've burst a bubble, and finally can't take a lot of stress....but, I'll try to deal, my dad made me find a new way to transfer all my frustration. lol.

Also, watching Fox today, saw that they've got some new anime shows ahead. ^_^" Showing sneak peeks of One Piece, Tokyo Mew Mew (changed the name to Mew Mew Power), and F-Zero GP Legend. Vote Here for your favorite They also show the previews for you. ^_^" Can you guess what I'm choosing? lol. Of course, the lovely Tokyo Mew Mew. ^_^" Loved it a long time ago. Maybe it'll be a little too shoujo for everybody, but I really like it. ^_^" lol. Anyways, laterz.

What can I say...hm...oh, the Piano people...the people who are moving our piano, are coming today. Yay! I get a new piano. ^_^" Well, I'm kinda bored around here, nothing to do much...tomorrow's Water Fight. But, I really don't want to go. Bad experience at Hawrelak Park. Nothing bad happened, just that I got a bug bite there during Heritage Festival and it was itchy for about 5 days...now, it's a bump...T_T..lol. Oh well..

Hm.what else, um..I've already talked about manga here...I don't think I talked about anime shows...They don't really have that many...Down in the U.S., they have Yu Yu Hakusho, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Rave Master, and so many others I just can't remember right now. The good thing is that they've got Cardcaptor Sakura up here. ^_^" Which, I'm very happy for. But, I can admit it myself that they don't have much here...and still wondering how they can have so little resources, but still have an anime club...

I was thinking about buying manga online, since as they don't have many at the bookstores here...but, Canada taxes people on packages coming into the country...so, that's probably a bad idea. My parents are deciding that my dad should go back to the states and work. So, maybe he can buy me manga while he's down there...^_^" And, then he can bring it back up here on the holidays when he comes to visit or something...I don't know what I'll do without him...

Well, aren't you people pyched (sp?) about the new Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie? lol.

And, actually, the movie seems so awesome. ^^" I can't wait, comes out August 13th. ^_^" And the trailer just seems awesome as well... I guess they have to find some way to get people to see it. Surprisingly, it's in theaters. Would be my first time watching an anime movie in theaters. lol Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie Trailer

As much as I want to update, meaning changing my layout...I can't, at least not at the moment...but I made a great new layout....very simple, very plain, but I like it. ^_^"Can't tell you what kinda anime it'll be...it's a surprise...even though most of you probably won't like it. lol.

Well, on Saturday, we went to Heritage Festival, which was pretty fun. It was worth it for the book I got...which was more like a magazine...that was free ^_^" lol. It's all on Anime!!! lol. Then, on Sunday, we went to West Edmonton mall...and saw the Giovanni Yamaha Music Store...and found out that they really didn't sell that much music. lol. But, we pretty much went just to see pianos...since we needed to buy one for me.. but, we found one at a good price. it was about 3000 I think...but definately worth it...even though not a yamaha..T_T..lol. we didn't buy it till monday.

On Monday, we went back to the store, and found out that my level is somewhere in between 8, 9 or 10. ^_^" yay! *jumps for joy* Very proud of that...even though I still suck at theory and history..lol. and then the boss person...gave us t-shirts...and hot chocolate. ^_^" yeah..dont ask. lol. anyways, "france, where've ya been?"

Oh, and I got a new cell ^_^" Great plan...too, I think...besides the fact that the phone doesn't look all that great...I get unlimited incoming calls, 100 minutes to anywhere in U.S. and Canada...plus 100 minutes in Edmonton. ^_^" lol, too much for me to use...T_T laterz.

something happened in winnipeg...tell others later what really happened...if interested..

Anyways, we're moving into our apartment tomorrow. It's a small place, but good enough. Only problem is that me and Kim have to share a room. Kim can't live at dorm anymore...she wasn't accepted into U of A.. so, she has to take what we call 'upgrading classes' and 'Open studies'. Don't ask me. lol. Anyways, went to church yesterday..speaker talked about 'The Power of Word'. It was pretty cool. lol. And, I met a few people too. They were really really friendly. I'm seriously surprised. If you compare my old church, to this one here...the youth is ten times bigger...plus all Chinese...and, just really friendly. ^_^" lol.

Miss my friends...was in contact with France...if you're reading this.."YOU TAKE TOO LONG TO REPLY!" lol. anyways, what else...um, oh!! School. Got registered at Harry Ainlay Composite High School. And, the size is like woah!! comparing it to Norwalk High at least. Didn't even realize there were like no windows till someone in the church told me. lol. But, I find it kinda funny. my dad said, it might be because Harry Ainlay might've used to have been a prison or something...but that's definately not true...since Norwalk High seriously was one, and has so many windows. lol. Also, I found out that their book stores here, aren't much. T_T sadly for me at least. I'm probably going to have to buy online or something. Which sux...kinda. The best thing I could find outta anime and manga sorta thing, was that their 'how to draw' books are awesome compared to CT. I bought one for about 30 Canadian dollars... about 20 US. And, that's pretty good. lol. But, the manga on the other hand, they seem so behind...they don't even have the ones I have...T_T

Piano...what can I say. I wish I were still in Connecticut. Would seem I was ahead. here, seems I'm behind. Here, they learn history, theory, and playing piano...just on top of that, seems so much. T_T I don't see how people here can take that much...but hey, they're used to it. I'll have to do that too I guess if I want to major in music, but of course, being Kat here, having second thoughts bought that. Thinking about going into design...like interior design, or architecture...or soemthing. lol. being a lawyer too!! love to argue. lol. ^_^" But, hey, who knows...anyways, I'll talk laterz when I have more time. Oh, to all in Connecticut. Remember, I'm two hours behind, you're two hours ahead.

Okay, Just wanted to tell all that actually come to my site that I'm leaving tomorrow at 3 in the morning to Canada. Stopping by Toronto to see some relatives... then continuing on our almost one week drive. ^_^" Anyways, I won't be able to update because of me having no internet access yet. So, as soon as do get internet, I'll update. ^_^" lolz. laterz.

Well, what can I say, it's been a while for updates. The only reasons being that I've been in the process of moving, as most of you should already know, if you're reading my blog. ^_^" lol. And, me, being on vacation. Also, my dad got me a labtop, and I'm trying to transfer all my information on my desktop computer to the new labtop. And the labtop doesn't have Microsoft Frontpage. T_T....but, I'll manage to update more as soon as it is loaded. And, having to be in the process of moving, no internet access. T_T. lol.

But, anyways, next about the layout. lol. Well, I've made a new one. Just, that I'm still thinking if it's good enough. And, also deciding to put in a 'Free Layout' section of my site...dunno yet, I am having fun with making them though...but for making the pop-up ones, I need my internet. T_T. lol.

Okay, vacation. ^_^" lol. Well, I went to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Went to Falmouth, went to the library several times to check my e-mail and my website. Went to Woodshole...not sure if that's one word, or two. lol. Went to Martha's Vineyard...wasn't that fun...um, went to Hyannis...big mall...and then...I went to Provincetown. ^_^" I was mad tired that day, and there was an enormously large bumble bee/bug thingy that kept following me. T_T...yeah, my parents wanted to go hiking...then, we went to the city in Provincetown, where we went to see the Pilgrim's monument or something. That was kinda cool. lol. Hm..what else…um, and then pretty much it took three hours from Connecticut to Cape Cod, where I am now. ^_^”

It seems to be raining right now…but then again, it must look like this-really really foggy, a lot here in Cape Cod.

Ugh…now I’m really thinking if I really want to move to Canada. I mean, it’s not that bad, the area seems really nice from what I know from what I’ve seen last year. lol. But, I’m just so scared right now…I guess this sorta thing always happens to me. Things don’t seem so bad, till they actually occur, like the time of the Young Musicians Festival. It wasn’t scary till I had to go first. ^_^”

And, yeah, yesterday was Canada Day! Nothing special I guess for Americans, but, a nice reminder, since we were in Calgary that week, last year. ^_^” And, what can I say, it was really fun. lol. Just thinking about it, just seems like so much excitement! Oh well, I guess long updates/entries always show up on my site if I haven’t updated in a while. ^_^” Sorry. lol. Oh, and also, along with the ‘Free Layout’ section of my site that will be added, there will be an error sign section….maybe some splashes…and a section of pics just from my Farewell party and from my room…and this other Farewell party with Jennie, and Patchogue-with Kim’s Hanson concert…too bad I don’t have many of those. Anyways, till next update. ^_^”

Sorry for now updating for so long...I've been in process of moving lol..of course, most of you already know that. Anyways, I haven't moved yet, sadly, I'm still in Connecticut. moving on Monday or Tuesday because my sister's passport hasn't arrived yet, for renewal. Oh well. I don't have microsoft frontpage on my computer, and this new layout is just making me mad, since it's an 800x600. Sorry. ^_^" I myself am hating since it is. I have to change my screen now everytime I want to see it, otherwise it's gonna looked really messed up...anyways, I'll talk laterz, lol.
