Procrastinating & Early Memory Loss

Lately ive been procrastinating A LOT! i should be doing research for my capstone project as well as finishing my (huge) internship report and do my case study analysis for my Strategic Management class.. i wont say i haven't done anything, i have, but not enough! I should work more.. everyday i say i'll work harder today but then i get distracted, or rather, i procrastinate.. demo ima kara zettai ganbrimasu!

I'm definitely getting old. I keep forgetting everything lately.. i forgot i had a Japanese class on Wednesday! zannen deshita ne.. I also keep forgetting to take my pills, my Dr asked me if i've been taking my vitamin D pills and i was like, no sorry i forgot.. shes like, its only once a month, how can you forget.. A really annoying things is, i forgot the password to my msn chat logs (i dont know why i put a password anyways) and now whenever i want to check on something i cant.. i tried everything but i cant remember, all i remember is, it was a smart-arsed password.. ARGHH! nandemonai.. i will keep trying till i get it!

I've got this dilemma.. the place where i did my internship.. i really liked it and would love to work there.. they said they want me to work there.. but if i do i need to apply soon.. which means no holiday this summer =( its a bummer, i really don't know what to do.. Bash keeps saying i'll take a holiday later but the thing is, that holiday will come out of my few days of annual leave.. if i take a holiday now after uni.. it doesn't count.. im really not sure what to do.. but i really like the place..

I found out my cousin has been in Japan for 9 years! 9 years! I'm so jealous.. urayamashii (putting my new vocab to work fefechan ^^) I wish i could go there.. i'd settle for 9 months!

Hopefully we're going to the beach tomorrow (your all invited ^__^).. i think its the last time till next winter.. so im going to force myself to do some uni work so i dont have much to worry about tomorrow.. we want to be there at 8 LOL.. have to wake up so early ne.. but we want to swim and it will get soo hot later on so thats why.. hopefully it will be empty then ^__^ i hope no other crazy people like us would think of being there at 8 AM! but the world is fully of crazy people.. so you never know!

My posts are really boring ne.. i dont know what to write about.. i want suggestions LOL.. e.g. weird stuff from japan or something.. let me know..

My newest fix

I'm embedding my latest addiction ^__^ MONGOL 800's Chiisana Koi no Uta and Shibasaki Kou's Ikutsuka No Sora. I actually heard the latter as the ending for the Japanese horror movie, one missed call.. such a beautiful song for such a freaky movie... umm.. It actually sounds 99% like a song i listened to about 50 times in the matter of 9 hours when we were on our way to Japan.. I think its probably it but im not sure.. anyway, it bring back memories.. of a *snoring* brother ^^ God, thats so annoying, he was snoring in my ear for almost 6 hours or so..
Kiite kudasai *please listen to them*

Couldnt find this except this vid with random pix, just listen don't need to look at it

Can you believe this was the ending of a horror movie..?!


By the way, i was just wondering, this is really random, do you guys know what a red bracelet means? If you see a girl wearing it, would it stand out or no? I'll tell you why i'm asking later but i just wondered if you knew..

I'm really hoping we'll go to the beach this Saturday since its finally open, no races or anything.. it will probably be our last time till next winter or so.. its getting hot.. I love the beach.. its really such a great place ne..

I went to the doctor today and she said my fasting sugar levels were quite high, for someone who'd been fasting before the test.. so i did a quick test there and it was fine.. but she said i really have to watch it since im at risk of Diabetes coz of my dad and his family.. and my mum kept insisting that something is wrong with my blood pressure.. coz it keeps fluctuating.. now shes banned us from having salt on the table.. she's like, you'll have your food as it is or you can starve.. LOL aggressive ne.. i don't think it will work.. I LOVE SALT! and anything salty..

Last few months at uni, and missing Japan

I finally finished my internship and im now back at uni. I'm going to miss work, it was fun! I'm dreading my Strategic Management class, everyone says its very hard, its actually a business simulation game where we have to compete with other uni students all over the world, but i think mostly americans, in raising our virtual company's worth from $90m to about $250-300m! Thats got to be hard! but our professor told us that the girls in his class always make it onto the top 10 list out of 2000 other teams, so hopefully, we've got a good chance.

I've been thinking about Japan a lot lately, its just my kind of world, if i could i would spend the rest of my life there! My dad said something about me and him going to Japan in the summer, of course i was ecstatic but Marie-sensei says i won't enjoy it coz it would be too hot,humid, and rainy.. and i have to agree, if the weather's like that, i don't think i'd enjoy my time. So instead of going and it turning out a bad trip, im going to tell my dad to postpone it till winter next year or spring. The only thing is, if im working, i don't know what my holiday will be like.. how many days i can take off, and if i can take them at anytime or what.. we'll see.. but i'm definitely going to Japan soon. As much as i want to go to Japan, i really don't want to go before im at least a little bit better in Japanese.. but will i ever improve, i seem to be stuck at the same level.. God help me..

I'm finally breaking out the stuff i got in Japan. I havn't been opening or using anything since they're so precious to me ^_^ everytime i come to open something, im like, what if i never go, no i have to keep this as a memory.. but im finally opening and using some of my stuff.. i've decided i'll enjoy them but the thing is everytime i look at them i feel like going to Japan.. i have this cute little pen i bought that i start using but it distracts me form my studies coz i keep thinking of Japan..
Since i started uni, i can now use my pens and files i got from Japan ^^
I went a bit overboard with stationary, i must have brought with me around 40-50 files, and 30 pens or so..I just love the stationary there..

I was reading Yamapi's nikki (diary) today and he said that if he put on weight it doesn't matter coz he can lose 2 kilos in 2 days.. that seems so weird for someone so thin to say.. wish he'd share his secret with me..

My life has been quite boring recently.. but this weekend, zettai umi ni ikimasu yo! (i will definitely go to the beach)..

Mata ne ^___^

HAPPY B-DAY YAMAPI

I don't have time to update, but i just had to say, its Yamapi's birthday today so

Otanjoubi Omedetou~
(Happy Birthday)

Poor Yamapi was attacked by Korean fans the other day, he says hes ok, just worried about his fans if anyone got hurt!! poor pi, thinking about his fans before himself.. Stupid %$#!&s (mind my french), they went way overboard to the point of ripping his shirt (and hair too i hear but not sure about that coz he said hes ok)..

I will update later..

Katakana Headache

I want to update but i have no idea what to write about..
Work is a pain! I don't mind working so much its that it takes the whole day, i get home at 5! theres no way i could do anything after that time esp. after working for so long. Next week is going to be heaven, im not sure about my schedule yet but i think the latest is 2! Ureshii~ demo next week i will start working on my captsone properly.. ganbarimasu yo ne!
I started reviewing Katakana again! for the 100th time! Forgetting the Katakana was getting on nerves, but i decided to use mnemonics and im pretty sure i wont forget Katakana again.. the assosiations really just stick in my head.. Of course, they are stupid and meaningless to anyone other than me.. It was funny when i tried to explain them to Bash and her sis yesterday, they looked at me like im wacko! +__+ it was quite frustrating actually when i was showing them hirgana.. let me show you..
ha- to me it looks like a face sideways.. the line to the left is the back of the head, the line to the right is the front of the head, and the line at the top going across is th eyes (or eyebrows) and the curvy bit at the bottom is a mouth. Do you see it? They didn't but in the end it turned out that they didnt hear the "sideways" bit so they couldnt see the face i was talking about..
Anyways, maybe i am crazy but if it means i'll memorize katakana then its worth it! definitely worth it!

Nothing in particular

Today the Japanese delegation i talked about, they sent a gift for me. Ureshii! ^^ Theres so nice. it turned out to be a cake.. Oh and Bash's boss asked me to choose which university (out of the ones they represented) i would choose and why, so i sent him a casual hand written note today and he sent Bash back saying that he would like me to send the same thing by email, officially ^^ i guess he will forward it to the people in charge of choosing..

Today the girl im working with (my junior supervisor) found out i could speak some Japanese and she was like, oh please say something.. so i was like, what do you want me to say? She said, how are you. i felt stupid saying 'ogenki desu ka' it seems so easy, she should've asked for something harder lol but then again, whatever i say, she wouldn't know.. i could have been saying theres a spider on your head for all she knows.. Then she told me, can you speak French? I said no, she said, you look like you can speak French! WTH! LOL

On Saturday when Bash was over we were playing a stupid but fun-in-in-stupid-way game LOL its called oodles of doodles and you have to draw 8 things related to a theme and the others have to guess.. This is my sis A's drawing LOL
Can you guess them without looking at the answers?
1. leaning tower of pisa. 2. i thought its the pyramids but apparently its the Eiffel tower 3. big ben. 4.great wall of chine WTH ur drawing sux sis 5.the pyramids. 6.taj mahal. 7.I have absloutely no idea what it is although i got it right at the time 8.Stone henge (she drew stones coz she didnt know what they were, neither did bash LOL) (the E's are what i got right, the lonely B is Bash's ;P )

Heres a pic of my japanese gift

Thats all for now, got to go work on my captsone proposal. TC
