Look~! The moon is smiling :)

I thought it was a joke at first <Whaaaaat?! You think I'll believe you when I'm busy making something in Photoshop and an IM window will pop-up saying th moon is smiling?!>. Ah, well... if it didn't come from someone I know who wouldn't lie, I won't check it out. Although I would have probably missed something spectacular <and that would be really sad>.

I took a crappy picture. I wish I had my camera with a better zoom.



It's an astronomical phenomenon called conjunction. This time, it's with Venus, Jupiter and the crescent moon.

[Pfft] Really cool~ ^^. I'm quite happy now~!

On ツバサ-RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- Chapitre 206

 

ILU, CLAMP

I really do. :3

-------------------------------

ツバサ-RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- Chapitre 206
The Current Future

Opening lines:

Kurogane: Shut your freakin' trap already. Enough of the boasting... just get out here.


He's talking to Fei Wang Reed here. Ohoho... I can now see the awesomeness of this week's chapter. EPIC WIN NUMBER 1! Until Fai says that his efforts are useless because Fugly!FWR's always inside the 'tear' even when he spoke to him... Kuro just doesn't want to lose:

Kurogane: Oh, I see. He's a nasty little coward.
Fai: Well... I suppose that's difficult to deny.


ROFLMAO~. Oh, you guys don't know how much I missed your nasty comments :3 I'm loving this chapter now~! \o/ It feels like we have the old, not emo Fai and Kuro. :3 EPIC WIN NUMBER 2!

Now, let's skip the next two pages... Syao's just fixing himself, anyway.

Fai: Now, then... Shall we ask the coward to take the stage?


Pffft... CLAMP's giving us a heavy dose of FWR-bashing. I, hereby, declare this line, EPIC WIN NUMBER 3!

Skipping three pages of pure awesomness 'coz they're just pwning every FWR minion. The next page, however...

Fai: ...You could at least announce your technique's name, Kuro-sama!
Kurogane: Screw that...


Weee~!  Now, I'm completely happy :3. My old Kuro and Fai are back~! EPIC WIN NUMBER 4!

Page 16: I'm now officially a Vampire!Fai fan!  ~~/o/

Page 19: FWR speaks, behold!

FeiWong: They are mere failures... created from the souls I have collected. Feel free to play with them... to your hearts' content.
Kurogane: ...Why, you... That's enough talking. I'll slice you and that damn mouth of yours to pieces.
Fai: ...Quite.

I'm... speechless. XDDDD ROFL... You guys should realize by now that in Tsubasa, we don't have the 'slice them up' tactic.... all we have here is 'shut them up'... but that only makes it cooler.

----------------------------

6 more days until we get our next drop on Kobato... :3... and the new announcement. Meh is excited.

Kobato. TV ANIME announced!

KYAAAAAAAAAA~!


FUCK YES, people! You read that right!





I know I said in my previous blog post that as of now, it's impossible to make an anime series out of Kobato (WTH? Three volumes?) but still... THIS IS THE BEST EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT I received! :3 *dances around* Is it obvious that I'm really excited about this one? I LOVE YOU, CLAMP~! I LOVE YOU~! I hope they won't mess it up like what they did with that CLAMP series *coughTsubasacough*. Kyaaaaaa~! I want to know who their seiyuu will be~! Especially for Kobato and Fujimoto (Fujibato OTP, y/y?).

I can't seem to calm my nerves down upon reading the news. I'll stop here. I'll give full commentary once I calm down. Toodles~!

*INSERT FANGIRL SQUEALING && RUNNING AMOK!*

P.S. Thanks to Chibiyuuto for the news.

On Kobato ANIME~! Again~

I AM SOOO~ HAPPY NOW~!

Madhouse will animate Kobato and Nanase Ohkawa will supervise the scripts! It's like

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

Now the series will have a decent future albeit having only three volumes as reference material. Why? It's because the MadhousexCLAMP tandem is OTP (lol). Haha! Cardcaptor Sakura was animated under this animation company with CLAMP supervising it. And what? It turned out REALLY well unlike that series *coughTsubasacough*. I am now confident about this series. Especially, when I read the part of the news on ANN about Madhouse animating it, I was like: Madhouse... Madhouse... erm? Isn't that CCS and Clamp in Wonderland? goes to check... silence... silence... KYAAAAAAAAAAAA~!*dies*

AND OBVIOUSLY, I'M EXCITED!


Here's a teaser.

Got the news from chibiyuuto and AnimeNewsNetwork.

Goodbye, Marky



Marky Cielo died today at age 20.

I'm not that much of a Marky fan but I did support him during his Starstruck days (I think I supported him more than my other Startstruck bets... even from the previous batches). Well... maybe up to now since he's one of the reasons why I watch SOP. It's sad to know that he died at such a young age (yes, I'm still in denial). Life is so cruel but we know that he's in good hands now.

You will always be remembered.

Usapan sa Plurk

Ang weird ko talaga. Haha. Nagsimula kasi 'to dun sa post ko sa plurk na:

Sya ang tagapagtanggol ng pag-ibig at katarungan! Onion mask! LOL

Tapos tumuloy yun sa post ni batteredchicken na:

oh, key that conceals the power of darkness, reveal your true nature to me! I command you, by the power given to me, RELEASE!


Tapos tinanong nya yung Tagalog version. Ako naman hinalungkat ko yung utak ko:

"Susi, ipakita sa'kin ang tunay na anyo. Susi ng kapangyarihan, narito ang batang babaeng na tutupad sa napagkasunduan. Sakura ang pangalan. Ibigay ang kapangyarihan!"


Yan yung sa Sealing wand (yung mukhang ibon?)

"Susi, ipakita sa'kin ang tunay na anyo. Susi ng kapangyarihan, narito ang nilalang na lumikha sa'yo. Tuparin ang utos ko. Ang pangalan ko'y Sakura. Ibigay ang kapangyarihan!"


Tapos yan yung sa Star wand. Na-miss ko tuloy yung Tagalog dub ng ABS sa Cardcaptor Sakura. Ganda nun. Pero Kapuso ako. :3

[Meme] Roleplay Meme

First of all, name all the characters you play/ed.

Oh, dear... I had to quit all the RPs I joined because of my busy schedule... but I came back... so I guess it's okay.

Currently, I play...

Hanato Kobato, from Kobato ::: Journal
Presea, from Magic Knight Rayearth ::: Journal

... I play both at Kiseki RPG.

I dropped... (I played the all in a forum roleplay)

Enma Ai, from Jigoku Shoujo
Shidou Hikaru, from Magic Knight Rayearth
Alphonse Elric, from Hagane no Renkinjutsushi
Roy Mustang, from Hagane no Renkinjutsushi
Silence, an OC
Kinomoto Sakura, from Cardcaptor Sakura
Haruko Haruhara, from FLCL
Son Goku, from Gensomaden Saiyuki
Syaoran, from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
Oruha, from Clover
Sohma Kyo, from Furuba

Years roleplaying: 5 years for forum roleplays and 2 months for journal roleplays

Least favorite character: Enma Ai... She's doesn't talk that much, only actions, and most of the time, I end up checking the dictionary for additional adjectives. Oh, the roleplay she's in is a forum roleplay? And one of the rules is you have to post like this:

A child sighed out loud as she pushed the doors of the lounge with both her hands to accommodate her small frame. A few looked over their shoulders to see who the young lady is. Many wondered what a lady as young as her would be doing in an inn. Slowly she entered the lounge, a man held the door for her as the light hit her black dress with white butterfly patterns. Her long raven-black hair fluttered freely with each step that she takes. It was odd for a young one like her to have an old creature's color. She then cuddled her arms which held an odd looking doll, closer to her body as her shoes made some tippy-top sounds onto the floor.

"And what would a young lady like?" The man asked behind the counters as she took a seat onto one of the high chairs. He hen looked down at the odd doll as it was being settled on the counter.

"The usual..." The child answered monotonously as she sat herself properly.

"It had been a while... since you've been here..'' The man answered back.

''It's because I've been sleeping..." she stared at the man coldly, placing her head over he chin.

"Then by any chance, please enjoy...''
He smiled back as he placed her order in front of her before leaving to tend the other customers.

Left behind with only her doll to accompany her, she slowly lifted the spoon up and started digging onto her treat. ''Do you think we'll meet someone interesting today, huh? Kurenai-chan?'' She asked back at her doll, as it stared back at her lifelessly as a doll would. She then started swinging her legs back and forth with the rhythm of her own humming, as she continued eating.

I missed NaNoWriMo

[=3=]


I can't believe that fact slipped my head. [pfffft] I said that this year, I'll join the contest again... and dammitall... I FORGOT~!

Sparkly-chan (that's her IM name =3=) was keen to remind me that I unknowingly missed the contest itself. That was embarassing.

Our convo: December 3

Sparkly-chan: You didn't join NaNoWriMo this year?
Azie: Wha-?
Sparkly-chan: NANOWRIMO~
Azie: It hasn't even started, yet.
Sparkly-chan: You idiot... It ended two-days ago.
Azie: HuUuUuUuUuUuUuUuUuUuUuUuUh?!
Azie: щ(゚Д゚щ)
Azie: SERIOUSLY?!
Sparkly-chan: D8
Sparkly-chan: November, dear, November. NaNoWriMo = November.
Azie: skdfnadskjgdaskjfdn~!
Sparkly-chan: Yeah... I know you forgot.
Azie: Dammit.
Sparkly-chan: It's sad, isn't it.
Azie: That's not comforting me.
Sparkly-chan: Yah, I know. I'm adding a bit of sarcasm to your light-headedness. Poor you.
Azie: ...
Sparkly-chan: That's just epic fail.
Azie: BAAAAAAAW~! m(_ _)m

[Roleplay script] Training teh Noob-lets

I found this roleplay script (saved from a YM convo) earlier this morning while I was trying to clean up our PC's hard disk (deleting files, new folders, removing programs, etc.). This roleplay was done about 3 years ago, I think? *Saved to be posted later since the roleplay we're in is a play-by-post one... in a forum.* Haha... I missed those days. Unfortunately, when I returned to their website two months ago, the roleplay bacame... uh... dead.

Oh, the title is indeed, "Training teh Noob-lets". Yes. "Teh" = "The"? "Like" =  "Liek"? It's internet terminology, kiddo. XD

Celebrating 5 years in the blog-o-sphere

 

~5 years in the Blog-o-sphere~


...and almost 8 years lurking in internet [pfffft] and more than 9 years as a gamer (first-person shooting, RPG, online games etc.)

Stats:
First blog: Blogger (abandoned after two days)
Blog posts: 367+ (half of them were all deleted along with my previous blogs)
First HTML layout: Shaman King (for my Tabulas)
First comment: from some anonymous person in Tabulas
Number of blogs created: 3 Tabulas, 2 blogger, 1 xanga, 1 Friendster, 2 Wordpress, 2 Livejournal
Current blog/s: Multiply, Blogspot, Tabulas, Livejournal, Insanejournal (mainly for roleplays)
Additional: Shamelessly posted two fics on my LJ. (Removed after two hours. I got no less than 30 reviews for both of them, though. XD)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

To celebrate this, Sparkly-chan asked me to do this meme (while breaking two of the rules):

# Leave me a comment saying “interview me.”  (I didn't ask her to interview me. She's the one who asked me... using IM >.>)

# I will respond by asking you five questions. (She's enjoying this. she went overboard.)

# You will update your journals with the answers to the questions. (Yeah... I did)

(All the Q&A were copied directly from our convo)


1. How many years have you been blogging? Erm... surfing the internet?
- Five years blogging, eight years surfing the net... Hey~! That's 2 years before Friendster was launched~ haha... cool~!

2. Sites you first visited?
- Fanfiction.net
- Rayearth & Seresu's MKR Dimension... lol.

Sparkly-chan: Fanfiction.net.. LMAO

3. List of the jobs you got over the net... with or without salary.
- Proofreader: for Sims 2 stories... it's free... always :3
- CG artist: I get a minimum of $300 for a full body cg in comissions.
- Story writer: Sims 2 again (their exchange is a members-only board)
- Cleaner: If you don't know what scanlations are, you don't know what a cleaner is. period.
- Critic: it's always free... I do it for Sims 2 stories and sometimes, if my mood permits it, fanfictions.

Sparkly-chan: In the end... there's only one job there where you actually got a profit.
Azie: (´ー`)y-~~

4.  Bashing?
- If there's a decent number of people bashing it, too, I'll do it. But, definitely, I will NOT hold back when it comes to Mary Sues, Gary Stus and overly-dramatic fanfiction OCs. If I'm not in the mood, I'll be leaving a lengthy critique.

Sparkly-chan: That's my girl!
Azie:
キタ━━━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━━━!!!!! 
Azie: Hey, didn't you say that bashing and reviewing are two different things?
Sparkly-chan: yep... why?
Azie: See post in LJ
Sparkly-chan: Your LJ's friend-locked
Azie: Oh... haha... go make one then!
Sparkly-chan: NEVERMIND


5. What are your opinions about flammers and the like?
- Who cares about them, anyway?

6. I know you don't like Twilight. Why?
-
asdsnkvcasnjcasjbsj~! YOU'RE ASKING ME WHY?! READ THIS > Click me~!


Sparkly-chan: Oh~! You read her article! Goodie~!
Azie: T'was shared by a good friend. She's been enlightened, too~!
Sparkly-chan: 8D
Azie: Good news, isn't it?


7. Lots of people started flamming you. What will you do?
-
Who cares?  I'll speak frankly and openly about what I think. I don't care what other people think about me, I don't care what they say and I don't give a damn about them. I say what I want, I do what I want.

Azie: Hey... isn't this the 7th question?! You said it's only 5!!
Sparkly-chan: Last one~! Pleaaaaaaaseeeee~!
Azie: =3=

 
8. What's the thing you hate most about writing reviews in FFN?
- Writers who couldn't accept the opinions of others. Why did you even display your work in public if you don't want it to be criticized. That's just dumb. And then, when I leave something like, "Your character were a bit off..." they will answer with: "No, they're not!" or "You flammer!"

- Oh, sometimes, I hate leaving reviews for Filipino-written fics. Specifically those with... ugh... the grammar, OOC-ness, Mary Sue. Some of them will bite you when you leave them a 'decent' (dencent = lengthy) opinion about their mistakes. I don't remember who said this to me:

Her: I speak what my mind says. I speak frankly.
Me: Yup~! I can see that.
Her: The problem is when you say one thing, they will snap back. They take everything as an offense. Really... I've read lots of flammed articles in LJ. I don't get the point why people keep on flamming him just because he gave his opinion. He just said what he really think about that topic. Really, if you don't like what one person says about it, don't mind them. Write your own article instead.

Oh, last night, someone posted this:

"I hope some people will understand my sentiment. WE don't bash you when you're having your fangirl moments.So don't bash us when we're having our dissing moments.The harshness of our sarcasm is, of course, a different story. Sari-sariling trip lang." ~ quote belongs to RP :3

9. Any last words?
Thank you, you asked 4 questions more than what you said. (ΘεΘ;)

Sparkly-chan: ahaha. Sorry for that.
Azie: You enjoyed this, didn't you?!
Sparkly-chan: Yeah, I did... so much fun~!
Azie: I'll get you for this.
Sparkly-chan: ~/o/ I'll be waiting~

Drop 11 came out...

Kobato came out today. 8Db So happy~ At least it's something that will compensate for my writer's block. Ahh~!

Oh, guess what:

Usyagi-chan appeared and saved Ioryogi~ :3

If in case you don't know who Usyagi-chan is the messenger between God and angels in the Wish universe, just like angels between God and human. To deliver God's message, Usyagi-chan carries a flower to the angel which will then turn into energy and directs into the angel's mind. In return, the angel may reply to god through Usaygi-chan by giving it a flower produced with his houhan (magic power).

Usually, when Usyagi-chan delivers a message, the flower speaks for its content. She delivered the message to Ioryogi using a Sunflower (and there's a P.S., btw). I wonder what it is about. Oh, Sunflowers symbolizes:

Homage and Devotion 
"My eyes see only you!" 
Hauntiness
To win love.


The leaf, btw means that there's a P.S. in the message. Lol.

Kobato's so cute in page 12. And the last page with Okiura and Fujimoto gives me vibes. Damn... it's a cliffhanger~

We're 60, married to Edward Cullen and laughing our asses off...

Erm... Let me start with Plurk:

Plurk
is a social networking and micro-blogging serice which allows users to send updates (otherwise known as plurks) through short messages or links. Similar to how Friendster works, Plurk also allows you to friend people and add fans (otherwise known as followers).

Setting the "add friend" function aside, let's focus on the "become fan" feature where all hell went loose when a mysterious (not to mention straight forward guy) became the fan of a friend... and was made fun of:

1st: Lolwut?

cj: ei
rp: ?
cj12: san ka nag aaral??
cj12: \ ;-)

He's pretty stright forward... dear me. kids these days.

rp: UPM po.

cj: 1st yr college pa lng grandma na
ona: yes. back in the old times we did not have the privileges of college or DSL internet. kids these days...
rp: [cj] well, technically, with today's views on premarital sex and pedophilia and uncontrollable hormones, that's a possible scenario.
rp: [ona] *sigh*, too true. and to think the young ones are taking these privileges for granted.
cj: cge ok lng wag nyo na sabihin... :-(

ona: [cj12] how inconsiderate of you, my dear ): no one likes to be reminded that she's turning sixty-two next year.
Azie: it offends us especially those who are over 40, dear.
ona: when you have reached a goodly age like us, numbers will depress you just as much as they depress us. ):

Grannies~!

rp: i used to be happy with jacob, but jareth of the underground kidnapped me and forced my hand into marriage. we have beautiful granddaughters
cj: ok

Kiddo's rendered speechless. We're messing with his mind... poor him. =))

Azie: [ona] :-o I didn't know that. WHEN?!
rp: ona: oh, i'm sorry. I didn't realize we were talking about marriage ACCORDING TO BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE AND RULES.
rp: [Azie] *sigh*, azie is having another of her short-term memory bouts again.
Azie: Sorry~ I'm afraid its because i'm turning 64 next year.
ona: [Azie] will you still need me, will you still feed me, when i'm 64?

Azie: (LOL) a way to alleviate boredome
rp: [ona] back in my days, boys weren't that forward. and girls weren't this scary. *sigh* generation gap...
rp: [Azie] stupid git didn't have any idea what he got himself into,.
Azie: *boredom
Azie: [rp] poor guy... [=3=] it's his fault anyway. :3
rp: oh well. who are we to deny fun when presented willingly to us?

Ona's

ona: I will not even bother making this plurk private. MESSING WITH THE IDIOT IS FUN.
mad hatter: There was a time when *somebody* added me. Oh wait. There were two of them. Then I *accidentally* rejected the other one...
rp: hullo mad hatter! i suggest you look for my plurks:"wtf" and "Deathly Hallows Paperback release"
ona: also: if anyone asks, you're a 60-year-old grandmother.
rp: preferably 60+, and wedded to a cullen. but the latter's optional.
Azie: [mad hatter] JOIN US~
mad hatter: waaaaaait. connection's being an a$$ again. haha.
ona: you're married to renesmee cullen, just so you know.

Too bad the kid stopped replying. T'was fun, though XDD. Someone should teach this guy a lesson... we thought the the 16-years-old grannies are up for the job.

Doodle: Canta per me

Canta per me


Take me away...

Where?

Somewhere... someplace faraway...


The unspoken wish, a yearning unheard and a desire which will remain unfulfilled.

The piano waited as the gentle wind blew past its companion’s features. She stood there wordlessly while the moon, whose placid glow illuminated her docile features, and the battered walls of the sanctuary, watched her weep a silent cry. This place was her refuge. She knew was alone and yet, she will sing bearing the hope that her voice will reach him. Once more, she would like to be heard even if her intended audience is far away. She wanted him to listen.

She rested her delicate fingers unto the keys of the harpsichord, playing with it unconscientiously. One last sigh, and thus, her melody resonated. This will be the greatest of her performances, she decided. The stars twinkled to her cadence and the midnight sky watched as she played her morose staccato. One more note, and hence, her song began. A song tainted with blood, tears and melancholy echoed through the hallowed halls of the sanctuary.

The feeling of bitterness, defeat and hopelessness filled the room and hearts of her unseen audience. A story was being told - a novella. Her life was being narrated by the poignant tune. With each movement, with each raise of an octave, events in her life were slowly heard by the invisible listeners. The clandestine ensemble joined her concerto. Hidden emotions poured as she neared the climax of her lachrymose song.

And with the mark of the violin’s vibrato, it came. Along with the gust of cool wind which suddenly enveloped her form, her coloratura resounded. The unspoken wish, a yearning unheard and a desire which will remain unfulfilled reverberated along with the hidden orchestra. This was the song of her life. She wished for him to hear it. She hoped in vain. He was gone and so was his voice.

Canta per me... she heard him say. And so, she did...

A single tear was shed. The last of it. Her heart-rending nocturne ended. Stars twinkled, trees danced and the cold zephyr blew. They watched the weeping soul amidst their presence whose heart died away along with her song.

Sing for me... she heard him say. And so, she did.

DevArt to-do list:

I feel like I need to list the things that I plan upload on my DevArt. My poor page. I updated it yesterday with a doodle that I did... but still... my poor page.

1. Kobato fanart: I've been meaning to do this before. I always forget.
2. Start the first few pages of my not-so-secret project.
3. Tsubasa fanart. (About 50)
4. Another OC. Sequel to my artwork entitled, Solace
5. Make a 5-page comic on Canta per me. (tentative)
6. Write another drabble. (still not sure about the theme)
7. Make character sheets.
8. Draw Oruha from Clover. (tentative)

... I should by another mouse. Somehow the right-click button keeps evading me... and I need it for roleplay! (=.=)

No ebil Thursday for me... yet.

Got myself enrolled last Friday. Here's my schedule for this coming semester.


Only four subjects enrolled~! [=3=] They told me that they're going to add more subjects once the semester starts next year. I'm crossing my fingers for "free-Saturday". \o/ AND I hope that I'm not going to get an "Ebil Thursday is evil" like this one: 2nd Semester sched.

Scary. [¬º-°]¬

*headdesk*

I feel the slight urge to murder someone right now. Why am I this unfortunate? Given another reason, I will surely go ballistic.

Reason 1:
My laptop... suddenly stopped working. *dies* MY PRECIOUS FILES~ TT.TT. It's currently stuck on the loading screen.

Reason 2:
More or less, this one fueled it all. This stupid idea: Twilight TV Series (Pinoy style)

For heaven's sake. Must Twilight infiltrate local television, too?

Reason 3:
None... yet. Give me another one... just one. And I will seriously rip someone's throat.

My life is so unfair.

It's a Christmas Miracle~

021

Ah~! So happy~! My laptop is okay now (after 4 days of trying to salvage it). I had to replace the hard disk coz it's fried (it cost me P3000. orz. "Merry" Christmas =A=)... and that means it's the end for my precious files (*sniff*). Here's the damage list in case you're wondering what I lost:

  • Gift list for Kiseki. BAAAAW~! It took me hours to make that one~! Argh~!
  • Subbed episodes for Kuroshitsuji. All of them.
  • ALL 27 chapters of Kuroshitsuji. O.O
  • Other subbed anime series which I couldn't remember.
  • 2 machine problems and all of the exercises I coded during my ComSci days.
  • 300+ anime songs. TT.TT
  • Scans of every Clamp series except for Angelic Layer, CCS and Rayearth (good thing I burned them in a cd last year).
  • WIP icons. =A=;;
  • Block 12 pictures *sniff*
  • CAT graduation pictures
  • HS graduation ball pictures.
  • E-books (Artemis Fowl series, 5 People You Meet in Heaven, Time Traveller's Wife, A Walk to Remember, Jane Austen Works, Sherlock Holmes series, A Purpose Driven Life aaand many more~)
  • The new blog layout I'm working on. A-and it's almost done!
  • Adobe CS3. I'm totally crying for this one. I need this for my course~!

Meh... I couldn't remember the rest. *headdesk* Toodles~ I'm going to make another gift list for Kiseki. My life is totally unfair. Merry Christmas, people~!

Last blog post for 2008

\o\ \o/ /o/

I'm typing this exactly two hours before January 1, 2009. Since most of the end-of-the-year posts I've read rants about how unlucky/lucky/pissing/peaceful/enjoyable/boring/[insert words here]/ their 2008 is, I'm going to deviate and post about something which doesn't involve any "looking back". Oh wait... most of my last-day-of-the-year posts are like that. [pffft]

Anyway, I'm totally not the type of person who will look back on my past failures/successes 'coz I might end up criticizing myself for it. I'm not sure when exactly I stopped "looking back" but I'm quite happy with the change that happened in me. 

"Don't look back. If you got something to do, then only look forward."


Cheers to Kurogane (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles) for that wonderful quote. X3

Is it obvious that I'm looking forward to this coming new year? Actually, I think I'm more excited about it if you compare my excitement over it to the past 3 New Year's celebration. I'm not actually sure why... haha. Maybe it's because there are a lot of things to expect in 2009 (for me :3). *Oh yeah~! I'm being bouncy about it! OTL I want my 2009 already~*

Oh, I just remembered that I'm also turning 17 this year *bummer*. It's the only thing I hate about years. [=3=] I honestly hate growing up. It makes me feel like I'm losing my childish self *baaaaaaaw~!* Growing means you can't throw books at your classmate without being scolded for it. (RP's quote~) Well, that's life. [pffft]

Haha. 8D I'm posting this exactly at 11:00 p.m (+8 GMT). I did some spring cleaning in my Photobucket account. Waaah~1 So much space~!

Expect another post one hour later greeting you a "Happy New Year"~ ! Tata~

Goodbye, 2008!

あけましておめでとうございます!!!
I told you I'll post another one an hour after my last 2008 post XD~! Happy New Year, everyone!

As a side note, this day marks the anniversary of my crush-ing over Ciel me being sucked into the Kuroshitsuji fandom. *squeals* Started reading the manga January 1, 2007... Not really reading... I was just staring at the pretty pictures of the raw. No translations were available back then. lol XD
