plushies, fishies & paintings

Just finished reading Shige's wagahai.. they really are interesting..

I tried making a bunny plushie.. ended with a disaster.. maybe due to the fact that i have no experience whatsoever in sewing/stitching.. i have no artistic abilities.. and i wasn't even making a normal roundish bunny but instead a square abstract one.. Bash, you should thank god it didn't work coz i was going to give it to you if it had worked XD LOL

Hen na usagi ne.. XD

For some reason, i only listened to NewS's beautiful eyes once when fefe-chan told me about it.. then i kinda forgot that it existed.. and only remembered earlier today.. and i really like it, its been playing in a loop since 11 AM.. I'm sure you all know it by now, if its a NewS song then im going to rave about no matter how awful it is.. but this really is a nice song..

I just realized that almost every pic i post has a blue/turquoise background.. thats coz thats the colour of my room.. so today i went a bit green instead..

Hey did i ever mention that we have a fish? I think i did.. Bob -the little fishy- was a present to my sis.. here he is.. *the reason for white net thing?! Piper the cat keeps getting caught with his paw in the fish bowel* Maybe i mentioned this before.. lol anyways..



Two days ago as i drove to uni in the morning, the weather was weird. Although its late-spring here, that actually means summer started more than a month ago. So to see the weather all cloudy and stormy, then halfway to uni it started raining, first it was just spitting (thats little rain for anyone who doesn't get it) then it started raining normally. Everyone was so surprised. When i read the newspaper today it said that that was artificial rain! It was the first successful result of "cloud seeding" as they call it, where they drop salt into the clouds to produce rain. They say they will continue with their tests in the next three months so i guess we should expect a couple of cool days this summer. Thats really good news for such a hot & dry country. I'm excited! LOL


I got my sis this cap from Japan, i really like it so im posting a pic.. no other reason lol..



This post is so random lol.. my mum draws sometimes.. shes quite good for someone whose never taken classes and knows nothing about art.. here are two of her paintings..




BTW what do you guys think of the layout? Its very plain but i like it.. was going to put NewS as a banner but then decided against it..
anyways, thats it..

Whacky dreams & Tokyo Disneyland



My youngest sis came to sleep over in my room yesterday since her roommate (my other sis) decided she wanted to study in the middle of the night.. i couldn't be bothered to go look for a bedside lamp since mine is broken so i decided to use our Christmas-like lights (i don't know who bought them or where from but they somehow ended up in my room).. my sis said they bothered her and she couldn't sleep.. i cant imagine why =P LOL we had a good laugh.. the lights don't stop changing and flickering, they're not even still.. ofcourse i ended up not using them but it was amusing nonetheless..

The layout is going through a growing up period at the moment. I need my sister's help. I don't even have Photoshop to make a banner or anything coz i never use it.. Anyways, it might be a few days till it finished "growing up" and i end up with something presentable.

Our sensei is giving us an exam in verbs next class since none of us seem to know all the verbs he mentions XD not our fault, he never mentions the verbs i know, always verbs i wouldn't even think of studying.. oh well, i better study.. I'm looking at the list he gave us and theres verbs like, つく (be lighted), やくに たつ (be useful), たりる (be enough), おりかえる (transfer) among others, that i dont think i would use.. at least not at this point in time when im struggling to make simple sentences.. but anyways i'll be a good student and study them..

KinKi Kids' garasu no shounen is such a good song, no matter how much i listen to it i still like it..

Marie-san is going to Japan in two weeks. Urayamashii desu yo! nihon ni ikita~i! I will definitely try to go back by the winter..

Fefe-chan, remember in Tokyo Disneyland when we were on that space roller-coaster-in-the-dark thingy and the guy behind was like yada yada yada.. dont know why i just thought of it but the ride wasn't scary lol such an uncool guy ne... i love scary rides, i want to go to a theme park right now!

Aaah ano hi wa totemo samukatta desu yo ne.. mada oboete imasu.. how cold it was..


Is that really the sun? I can't remember seeing it that day, God it was cold!

and remember the pizza we had there in that galactic pizza place? how each piece was in an individual triangle box and it looked weird to us.. i remember it being very yummy, maybe coz i was so hungry.. I don't know why im thinking of Japan.. but its nice to remember those things.. that day was the only day i rode the train without my bro.. It was exciting lol although it was the same as usual.. hhh i tried to be a nice responsible sister and went and bought my bro dinner on my way back to the hotel.. the queue in front of McDonald's was long and it was cold but i stood patiently in line.. When i got to the hotel the room looked like a bomb hit it! my bro had gone and bought spare parts for his petrol-run toy car (heck, i don't know what they call them) and he had spread everything all over the floor..

I had weird dreams again yesterday but not nightmares thank god.. in one of my dreams i went into the kitchen to the feed the cat and suddenly i felt a hand on my back and jumped only to find its my mum and she said, i see you spending a lot of time in the kitchen these days.. lol.. it was like a horror movie.. or one of those suspense movies lol.. but what she meant was your eating too much.. lol then it finished..

another was about my internship, i went back to the company for some reason and this lady who supposedly was my supervisor there (not the actually one someone i made up) called me over and said, im glad you came because we were going to call the police so they'd make you come over, we've found records of you using the phone the whole time you were here, being on the phone the whole day.. lol .. i was shocked (in the dream) and told her that i didn't even have a phone on my desk and the only calls i made were from my mobile.. but she kept insisting and the made me look thought the record and the auditors(this time it was the real ones that i met there) came by and she was telling them about me and it was so embarrassing and i started crying.. then she felt bad and tried to stop me crying but she couldn't.. anyway, it ended up with her feeling bad.. she deserves it.. lol weird dream ne..

the third is hilarious, i was in this mall and there was a fast food having some sort of promotion, they had people dressed up as hot dogs and hamburgers walking around the mall, and they had buns in their hands or a burger without a bun or something and if the gave it to you then you could go back to their store and hand in the bun and get a whole hamburger in bun with fries and a drink.. LOOOOL i have no idea why i dreamt that but anyways, i was only given a lettuce by the man in the hamburger suit and when i went to hand it in the people there said that vegetables dont count and wouldn't give me a burger.. then i got mad coz people always say that vegetables are important.. lol.. maybe someone can interpret my dreams for me.. lol.. they're so whacky and weird i dont know what else to say..

I guess i wrote a lot whithout realizing, that should be it for now..
Ja bai bai

Matsujun, tarantulas, and languages

I finally watched the HEY HEY HEY episode with NewS. It was entertaining-to say the least. But i don't like to hear the members talking about how they're not close outside of work coz in my imagination they hang out together all the time, don't want them ruining my make-believe world. One of the hosts smacked Ryo on the back of the head >< argh! poor Ryo.. (who by the way is looking better than ever, and pi not looking so good XD)

I also watched Last Friends ep 4 which was really good.. Ryo looks cool even when hes crying.. can't wait till next week. Its a vicious cycle ne..waiting and waiting only to start waiting again lol

Yesterday night i kept having nightmares, really scary ones and couldn't sleep much so i decided to have a nap in the afternoon, i dreamt about matsumoto jun.. i guess he was in my subconscious coz i saw a pic of him by chance yesterday.. it was a good dream.. can't remember it but i know matsujun was my hero lol.. yokatte ne.. hope i get to sleep tonight..

languages are weird.. lost my train of thought, i had something interesting to say but its gone.. let me think of something else.. I was telling someone once about how in Japanese socks are called kutsushita which actually is broken down into, Kutsu=shoe, shita=under, so its like under-shoes which is not how Japanese people think of it but thats what is literally is.. and i was saying how weird that is.. then i thought, well "underwear" is almost the same, under and wear (or clothes).. i thought of something else but i forgot it.. so Japanese doesn't seem so weird, its just that we're used to English so we don't notice things like that but maybe someone whose studying it would..
Actually, i think English is the weirdest and hardest(grammar wise) to learn, its got so many irregularities and things that don't make sense when you think about them.. so if you already speak English, consider yourself lucky! im so glad i never had to learn it coz surely i would've sucked at it..

In our Strategic Management class, in the business simulation game i wrote about, out of 5,136 teams from around the world (including students from very prestigious universities), me & Reemy-chan (plus 2 other girls with us), our team, ranked 95 out of all of those teams for the first round.. our professor was impressed.. we have 6 more rounds to go so hopefully we will be from the top 20 by the end of the game, i really hope so, that would be cool..

I want a tarantula! that would be cool.. my mum's like, you want tarantula but your afraid of turtles/tortoises?! I haven't been traumatized by a tarantula like what happened to me with turtles before so no, im not afraid of them, i want one.. tarantula ga hoshii desu yo! I actually don't like animals in general.. oh shoot, i wish i hadn't mentioned the T word, now im guaranteed to have a nightmare.. i guess i better distract myself by doing something else, listening to news for example (looking for an excuse XD)

(i actually wrote a much longer post but ive saved that in drafts for now, i dont know if im ready to talk about it yet..)

Half my post go deleted, its Koichi-kun's fault ><

KONBANWA! *someones perky today*


I gave myself a time to finish doing all my uni work before i can come online so now that im done im feeling great! I'm not actually done with EVERYTHING! (Graduation project hanging over my head) but at least everything for tomorrow is out of the way..

The other day i added a site-traffic thingy to my blog, i was just curious, wanted to see how many people actually visit my blog everyday. It turned out to be way more than i thought.. Not many people know about my blog, i don't like to give it out to anyone.. talking of which, i mentioned to Reemy-chan something about my blog in class today and one of our classmates overheard and was like cool give me the link, i told her sorry but its too personal.. coz it really is.. if i knew other people were reading i wouldn't be able to write what i want to and what i feel, which is the whole point behind a blog.. anyways, turns out there people from the neighboring city, DXB, reading my blog. Now i know my sis is there and she reads it but i cant think of anyone else.. so i thought well maybe they came here by mistake but it was over 10 visits from different IP addresses, and then today, 8 of those checked my blog again... I'm rambling sorry.. anyways i was just surprised that there are people out there checking my blog sometimes a couple of times a day.. My conclusion, they were here by mistake, if not, if your someone who reads my blog regularly don't be shy to say hi, it would be interesting to know you LOL..

OK on to something else, Koichi Domoto from Kinki Kids has this song which i listened to yesterday, its quite good ^^ hes voice is to die for.. OK scratch that out XD

Oh and fefe-chan met my sis H at a science fair thingy today.. she doesn't know how lucky she is.. my sis i mean.. ;P

I'm addicted to fruit-flavoured malt drinks ^^ they're the best!

Still no sign of LF's 4th ep. to my dismay..

My bro got my 2 sisters heart-shaped plushy pillows filled with Hershey kisses, can it get any better? XD and i got an over-sized bag with ANGEL on the front, how sweet.. going to use it next time i go to the beach..






My bro thinks im angel XD how sweeet ;P

I was listening to SUMMER TIME again today for the umpteenth time and found myself singing along, then i realized, hey i know what im singing, i actually understand the words.. well not all of them but some..

Oh and i saw a clip of Gackt with Julie Andrews when she was promoting Princess Diaries II in Japan and he was her escort and at the end she was like, "how would you like to go mattress-surfing with me sometime?" (if you've seen the movie you'll know what that is).
No offense to her fans but whys she hitting on him, i wanted to whack her, shes old enough to be his mum ><

Kids are fun!

We went to the beach today. Swimming really makes you hungry ne. We stuffed our faces, we were eating non-stop. Thats not good.. oh well.. we were hungry.. Marie-san didn't come this time, zannen desu, it would've been nice..

I spent a lot of time with my little adopted baby, my mum friend A's daughter. 18 months old is the best age, definitely, i always love kids when they're at this age. They're just engaging and fun to play with. I had so much fun playing with her. She was wearing a swimsuit with a round hole down the back, by the end of the day when they were changing her clothes she looked so funny..This bit was sooo dark compared to the rest of her body. I also played with her sisters and bro, we had fun.. kids really are fun XD they awaken the child in you.. We all got really tanned. I was in the water from 10 to 4.. 6 hours, hot sun, cold refreshing water.. the best combination!

I made myself work on uni stuff after we got back home, i decided im disconnecting the wireless and only connecting once im done.. it really motivated me and i didn't get as distracted as always.. I've been online for less than 40 minutes but now im so tired from getting up at 7 and all.. i really feel like sleeping.. nemui~~~i

Ep 4 of last friends has been out since Thursday, waiting for the subbed version.. i have no patience.. Also looking forward to Shige's Wagahai..

Was reading Ikuta Toma's nikki and he mentioned EREKASHI so i decided to check the band out.. I liked this song, except for some reason this guy keeps itching and messing up his hair and whetevr in all their PVs, i have no idea why.. can't be bothered to look around and see..maybe another time..

I'm really tired.. going to sleep now.. its still early but what the heck!
Good night, sleep tight, don't let the beddy bugs bite ;)

Yoroshiku

Its amazing how fast one's mood can change ne.

Right now, im not feeling so good. Being criticized is not so easy to accept ne. Especially when it comes from people close to you.

I would like to say that it doesn't bother me what people think of me, or im not bothered by their criticism. The truth of the matter is, because they are important people to me, its hard to be so nonchalant about it. It definitely affects me, what others think, especially if they voice their thoughts in front of me. It definitely hurts.

I never try to hurt anyone on purpose, if i do (and im sure i do sometimes), it definitely is not on purpose. My motto in life is "do onto others what you want done onto yourself". I try to take people's feelings into consideration. I put myself in their shoes and wonder what it would be like to be hurt. I definitely get mad at people! no one doesn't! but when i do i try not to say something i will regret later on.

The kind of person i am, donna hito desu ka? Stubborn, but extremely sensitive. Thats part of the person i am. Do i hate being stubborn? Definitely not! I think everyone should stand up for what they believe in, thats why im stubborn. I do give in a lot, but its only if its for someone i love or if im unsure about something, other than that.. i think people should stand up for themselves.

Absolutely the most dreadful feeling ever is being ganged up on ne. If one person says something about you to your face its bearable coz you can brush it off or change the topic or something, but when its more than one and no one is standing up for you.. its an absolutely horrible feeling ne..

To be able to say "tsuyoku naritai" and "ganbarimasu" to myself through my tears is the only thing i can do in that kind of situation.

minna gomen ne if i ever hurt you and please kore kara mo yoroshiku ne
Oyasumi

Summer is here!

The last couple of days have been so busy. Capstone + the Strategic Management class are taking over my life! Aaaah~ can't wait to finish!

Yesterday i watched Budou no ki, which is about foster kids and parents, it was interesting, but so sad. Ototoi i watched the sp for 1 liter of tears (ryo nishikido being in it doesn't have anything to do with why i watched it..honestly..) and ofcourse i cried a liter of tears if not more. Then when i watched budou no ki i cried even more LOL im so glad i have my own room to cry in without interruption ^_^

Later on i decided to go to Daiso since i was so bored, didn't find anything interesting but i got some senbei.. Oh and finally had McDonald's which i havn't had since i was in Japan.. So ofcourse i started reminiscing..

Somehow, i feel like ive read a book. LOL. but i don't remember reading one, maybe in my dreams. Lately i started having really vivid dreams where before i didn't even dream most nights..

I love listening to NewS's easy come easy go, its so fresh and upbeat!

Its summer time as NewS keep reminding us, esp yamapi in his nikki, everyday he says "summer is here".. so i guess its time for icecream again, not that i like icecream anyways, but i dont mind icecream sandwiches..


Fefe-chan, remember the うらしまたろう story we tried reading before, i guess in October or something, and we read the first 2 pages and it was too hard, we didn't understand the verbs.. I tried reading it backwards LOL started with the last page. It was so much easier, all words and verbs we know.. so yeah moral of the story, read stories starting with the end, they're easier ;P
Except, i know urashimatarou opened the box he wasn't supposed to open and turned into a white bearded old man but im not sure where the box came from, got to read the beginning i guess LOL

Thats all since i really have to finish working on my capstone and some other assignment i have. Jya ne.

PS Maybe i should stop reading yamapi's nikki. I had to rewrite this post almost 4 times coz its seemed all about food..
