Warnings: Bad Luck Ramble, Fangirling and HOMESTAY

Warning: Bad luck ramble.

Yes, I'm gonna be rambling about my bad luck recently, and of course, just some random rambles... So I guess if you're not up for that you can skip this entry ^^;;

Karaoke: Okay... Err first start of it all was when I went karaoke with Skye and this other girl- Twas quite fun, and there was a sudden time when I suddenly found a lot of songs that I actually knew, so I took the remote up and started keying them in one by one.

Loads of them.

Then after that, I suddenly realised that my songs weren't going in. It was really weird cause it was only I who was having that problem, and I wasn't pressing anything wrongly. It would go through for a moment, and then suddenly disappear. In the end, I just got so frustrated I just asked my friends to key my songs in for me -___-"

Testi: Someone whose testi I'd been waiting for and wanted for a really long time (like what, almost a year?) came in a week or two ago... And stupid friendster did not show most of the testi cause '<'s and '>'s were used at some point in it.

And as stupid things do, like Blogger and Friendster, they delete everything in between the two characters.

Was really quite upset and disappointed, cause that person forgot what he wrote for the most of it... So I guess I most probably won't be getting it now.

There goes another star for Friendster.

'Surprise': Made something for someone a while back as a surprise... Had to do a bit of brainstorming and planning for it due to time constraints and my lack of creative juices- Ended up, it turned out all wrong cause of my miscalculation (is that even a right word to use?) and ended up upsetting that person during the meet-up.

And my 'present' triggered another round of unhappiness as well. No happy smiles, no nothing. Guess this was a first time my planned surprise failed.

Wouldn't say it didn't ended up being a surprise. Just in another way, I suppose-

Chocolates: Made chocolates on Sunday- Turned out the quality of the dark chocolate I used wasn't that good... So I didn't quite like it -_-" And I semi-broke my 2 new chocolate moulds. Argh. Terrible.

Good thing, though, is that my chocolates actually looked decent =D Heh. _That_ was one thing I loved.

--------------------------------------------
End back luck ramble, start random ramble
--------------------------------------------

Heroes: OMG I am SO in love!!! ANDO AND HIRO ARE JUST SO... SO... so... CUTE TOGETHER!! Of course, it could be just me, but that doesn't stop me from fangirling them anyway. They're really so darn sweet! Even as friends~ *sighs dreamily*

Soukyuu no Fafner: Okay, so there's another pair in there I'm fangirling but I shall spare you the agony and get to the main point.

Today, I was reminded of something Skye warned me about the show... About the fact that there was quite some angst and tragedy and stuff... I was on episode 6 and I saw someone die already @.@ She died stupidly, but that doesn't stop the fact that she died anyway. And then, some comments Skye made from last time flowed back to me and now I'm dreading watching to the end of the show... I so foresee buckets of tears or something. @.@ Gah.

But I'm already relatively addicted to the show, so... @.@ Oh no...

Homestay: Oh, yes! This time, I have been 'approved' (from those around me) to volunteer to host a student from Hiroshima =D In my own home! OMG I'M SO EXCITED!!! This is seriously one of my like dreams or something... Something I've always always ALWAYS wanted to do like for such a long time...

Manda knew how upset I was when I couldn't participate in the hosting events the past few times, and how seriously sad I felt this time around when I almost couldn't... And how despondent and resigned I was. Thankfully I can, now. Thankfully. *heaves a huge sigh of relief*

I'm really so happy.

Now I just have to wait for the interview from the school - the last barrier I have to pass before I'm confirmed.. =D

Arrogance: Ok, so that kinda gets on my nerves nowadays... I get quite irritated inside when I hear someone talking like they know the answers to everything, like the person they're talking to is more ignorant than them, or when they they cut in other people's conversations to answer something or answer some question with this air of 'omg are you seriously that dumb?' or 'i can't believe u dont know that' tone.

It just makes the other person feel inferior, annoyed, mocked at, and whatever else. And well. Gives people the impression that you're arrogant, and annoying. But I guess when these stuff happen, they probably don't realise it.

Of course, I realise annoyance, anger, and arrogance are totally different things, though that really is hardly the point ^^;; in case anyone else has that thought passing through their mind. I guess I should start watching myself too, and be careful.

And, of course, curb my annoyance level so that it doesn't accidentally come across as arrogance.

Emotions: I so have to learn to curb and take control of my emotions. I laid my emotions flat on a board, and I want to take control of it again... A passing storm across the said board is enough to kill me.


Alright, I think I've rambled enough. Shall end here now. =^^=

Back from Japan: Cosplay coming up

Okay... This is going to be a long rambling update- ^^;; Pardon me.

Can you feel the love tonight: Whee I saw this multi-language video for Lion King's "Can you feel the love tonight" on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpmug6ODaWc ^_^ Love it~~ The changes in language are rather smooth, save for two or three transitions... Be-au-tiful. =) Darn, I've fallen in love with Lion King (1 and 2) again.. >_<

Japan trip: IM BACK!! (Okay, I've been 'back' for some time... but... *shrugs*) TWAS REALLY FUN!! >__< Miss them- =(

Waterfall/River: We went to this waterfall thing... Then we had to walk this long way up to get there... Twas really cool~ =D=D But err... I kinda fell into the stream/river along the way, along with my camera. So my photo-taking had to stop for a couple of days... ^^;; Nice water, though.

Host family: Gosh, I miss my host family... Loads. Yuki-chan, Mayu-chan and Yuri-chan (the 3 daughters) and my 'okaasan' and 'otousan' >_< I like fell sick there with a fever and stuff (and didn’t tell them) but I recovered in like 1 or 2 days cause their kotatsu, room (my ‘otousan’ actually brought a heated mat in for me to place under my futon to keep me warm) and well, everything was nice and warm. Them, too. =)

They like brought me to really nice places, made really nice food... got me really nice stuff too... And they actually got a me a _yukata_!! Wah. It's really gorgeous. Love it. I am so going to the next summer festival and do it proud! =D Feeling a little Kitago-sick now, though >_<

Rebonding: Oh ya, and I rebonded my hair so it’s err… straight now. ^^; Somewhat.

Tarzan: Borrowed Tarzan from my GEMs teach yesterday and watched it ^_^ Love the songs- =)

Flash: Yes, finished my Flash assignment (a whole lot more others to go)- It's not the best that I could have done, but it'll do =) Thanks a MILLION to Clar and Christine-- =D Couldn't have done it without them- Had to have them teaching me stuff and all- ^^;;

EOY: YES EOY is this Saturday!! Got my Hakama!! AND IT LOOKS LOVELY!! =D=D YESH! But err… bad thing is that we can’t find our grass slippers so well. We may have to walk around in just socks ^^;; If you’re going, see ya there! ;) To know more about EOY this year… Click here!

Beta Blogger: Okay, warning. Please do NOT change to the google beta version... dumb stupid thing keeps deleting my words halfway through (you have no idea how many times I had to re-type certain parts of my post. *growls* It like deleted everything once too!! *kills* I never thought I’d ever say this… but I hate the Google Blogger. @$@#@#$%)
