Let's play catch up
Soooo.. it's a week before prom and i'm semi-ready.. it's all very stressful.. I really don't want to do things like they're planned but.. kinda don't have a choice.
So my prom date.. his name is Brian.. and he goes to the college my aunt works at. She knows his father and now Brian does our yard work. He's not someone i'd regularly fall for in looks, but he is cute :) handsome and charming, lol. Who knew those still existed? The problem with him though is, he's like.. a genius.. literally. Okay.. so why is that a problem right? Well.. Brian's 19 and already a pilot.. he's working in school to get a certain licence but he has legal right to fly.. kind of like a permit, lol. He has his own lawn business, buying his own tools, has his own car, knows about plumbing, electric wiring and all about problem solving. Great with like all core school subjects, stays on top of the news and he's VERY logical. Only a year older than I. That puts me and him in two whole different levels. I can't help but feel lowly when talking to him. lol. Maybe that's stupid.. but, I feel out of place. Now I feel like everything I do has to be good enough for his standards.. because they're way above mine :/ But the good thing through all this is, he's sweet to me, and takes making me determined serious.. even though he doesn't know how I feel about him.. i'm glad he's like that because it does push me to work harder.. so looking at this positively.. maybe it's a great thing to have him around. I think I finally understand what people mean when they say surround yourself around winners, not losers. Winners can only push you forward, but losers hold you back and make you like them. I know, when I get to college, I will surround myself around more great people, even if they end up stuck up and snobbish, because it will only boost my self esteem and will power to do better than them :) I wish I'd learned this sooner, maybe then my scores would be better. x/
Anyway, moving on, me and Brian are going together to pick out his stuff for prom sometime this week. I hope that doesn't turn out awkward.. because we still are getting to know each other so.. you know how that goes, lol.
Um, the rest my life. So, for about 3 weeks, i've been talking to my father. I haven't talked to him in like 4 years. He decided to come back in my life, and recently i've put him on hold. Maybe that's not good, especially since he's not well and been SO pathetic and loving.. but.. he can't just expect me to talk to him when I have things to do. I'm busy getting ready to graduate.. and prom is coming.. the two most busiest times of high school! So oh well.. I don't feel like adding another burden right now.
Into the lovely things! I think starting during spring break, I started watching two new animes, Ouran High School Host Club and Soul Eater (finally after being bothered into watching it by Jordan x3). I'm nearly done with both now, and started re-watching Blue Gender, because I always wanted to finish that show. Anyway, back to the new shows. Both of these touched me! I've heard there will be a season 2 of Soul Eater, so I can't wait. But I know these are ones I can re-watch and I love animes like that :'D
As for things I love, I love learning about new artists and hearing new music too! I think i'm getting more into Big Bang and other male groups.. hopefully, because it's seldom I listen to male artists. But anyway, I'm liking TOP and G-dragon from Big Bang, lol. Okay, TOP more, I just think G-d's a cutie x3. But I always thought TOP was cool, his voice is hot and not all feminine like, but that was when I wasn't so familiar with big bang. But there's this new song by them with this new girl group called 2NE1 and TOP is just the sex in it xD *fangirls* and G-d is just a cutie pie who gets even cuter when he tries to be hard and sexy but fails because he's so adorable... :'D
Lastly, just this morning I discovered another k-pop group!! Well, they're so new they haven't really debuted and you can't find too much into anywhere yet, but they're called T-Ara.
There's some antis all over them already because they've made a music video that's JUST like another group, and they don't have their own style. :/ Their style looks just like SNSD or somebody, then it's 5 of them, geez, we already have millions of k-pop girl groups popping up everywhere. Knowing that, I can understand why people aren't giving them a chance, plus since their company isn't original enough to come up with a different unique look for them, they look like plain-jane posers, and who wants a group that looks just like another one? I admit learning all this turned me off and makde me want to just ignore them, until..... I listened to their song. O_O Omfg, those chicks can blow. They have seriously beautiful voices. Every single one, different, awesome. And the funny thing is, people are complaing about them stealing looks from popular groups, those we know most in the group struggle with singing, can't sing, or all just WAY better than the rest. In other words, T-Ara, if SNSD never existed, Wonder Girls and other artists would have big competition, seriously. No offense because I love my JYP babies, but we all know their voices aren't all perfect and have been a couple of problems.. despite them always looking stylish. I think I prefer a group of plain-jane power houses, than some stylish pretty good, just getting by group. Plus, it's something about them that seems more genuine. Another thing.. I just mentioned a new group that did that song with Big Bang, 2NE1? They're new too. A lot of people complained about T-Ara debuting with a ballad, saying new people should come out with upbeat fast songs or else no one will care for them. The debut song by 2NE1 coming out soon is called Fire and it's such nothing compared to T-Ara's.. it's a dance song, with a sorta reggae feel.. kinda.. which is cool, because It's "okay". It's one of those typical songs that you only like after hearing it so much... *yawn*. I say whatever, the ballad is beautiful and frankly chosing to do that instead is about the only right thing they've done debuting, not completely following the crowd starting off with some cheap song. I'm tired of upbeat songs.. they're so many new ones out, so why not have something to chill everything down? So.. in saying that, I look forward to T-Ara. Thief's, posers, plain-jane's or not. They have potential and I'd like to see more of it :)

Escape from reality....
I've said it before and I'll say it again.. anime is my escape from reality. Not just a good story, not just amazing characters, but more than that. Yes it's cool, I'm into it, it's fun, it's like no other.. but I've only realized today all of those other times I've said it was like an escape from hardships, I've only realized today it really is. Not music, not a movie, not family, not close friends, not a good book, but anime.
Today there was a HUGE controversy between two friends of mine that got really bad and really dangerous. It's so hard dealing with all that and still doing school work.. so I decided to unattached myself from them for a little bit. But the thing is.. when I came home, all I wanted to do was forget about it and watch this new anime I love called Red Garden.
I just knew when I did, I'd feel a lot better and get my head back on my shoulders. I guess I can say it lets me know that there are other problems in the world or that I have other problems of my own, and I should be allowed to sit down and relax some times. I'm so glad I ever discovered it. It teaches me and informs me of things I never knew sometimes, and without it, I most likely would have taken different steps in situations. Probably wrong ones. It opens my eyes to some things, and helps me have self control and learn more about myself. I know that all sounds stupid or corny or whatever, but it's so true.Then as an upside.. blogging also helps me relieve a lot of tension. So I'll blog a bit about the anime I've mentioned. The opening theme is below.
"Watching the opening... you would think that the show was something like "Paradise kiss" or something... never would have expected a horror anime." - says a member of youtube.com x3
And I totally agree with it. And not only does the opening remind you of ParaKiss, but the stylish clothes and attitude on some characters really do. But then that's where the twist occurs. It's nothing about fashion. I also like the reality of the anime. Not so much the plot, since it IS psychological, but the actions of the people. Often in any other anime, the characters are either very fake or tend to over exaggerate a lot, or don't do enough of something. Also, situations are so cliche'. Like a main character in danger, and then right before tragedy, they get saved just in time? That crap doesn't happen in real life! And you don't get many animes like that. So this change is one that I'd like to follow. Even though any other time i'm not really into psychological/ horror animes, but it seems nice so far. Kind of reminds me of Blood+. But I never finished Blood+ so.... I don't know. Hopefully this doesn't happen the same way and lose interest.

Blah.. update~ x]
April 28th, I went to see Disturbia.. it was good.. more stalking and romance than disturbing things, but.. oh well.. way better than When A Stranger Calls. :D We were gonna see The Invisible or some other movie afterwards, but a fair was outside the mall and we walked over there. By the time we got back, if we saw another movie, when it ended it would have been like 1 a.m and I swore I would tape the last episode of Eureka Seven for Areku, so we walked around a bit before going home. Speaking of that.. it ended so GAY. x/ Eureka was very pretty... but it was still Gay -__- And the Nirvash is a girl?!?! Not just a girl, but the voice the speaks at that end of every episode?! How disappointing.. how very very disappointing. Less disappointing than Dewi killing himself..... No, worse. Another anime that's a better wait with a boring ending. It needed more explanation.. And like two episodes before I think, I DO NOT like how they killed all those people.. when those things fell and blew everything up? It was too sad. ;__;When I got home my mom fixed me this AWESOME Panini sandwich.. it's an Italian grilled cheese sandwich that has sort of a waffle design in the bread from how you cook it. But actually it's a brand of grill made specifically for making these sandwiches. My aunt just bought my mom one for a pre-mothers day gift, so she's been making them ever since. xD A usual one has squash, cheese of course, onions, tomatoes and bell peppers.. for it's like a vegetable grilled cheese.. but my mom left out the bell peppers and squash and added honey turkey and lettuce because my aunt and her ate it up. >> But it was still delicious! :3 Speaking of nice dishes....
DEWI!! Never sent me the foods from your Home Econs. Class.. =S That's alright, princess. I found the ones I wanted :)
o.<... Anyway, as you see, I added a label list. This is for some entries I might put up in particular. Like magazine scans, music, lyrics, videos, cosplay, etc. :) That would be all..

March 8th in ADVANCE =))
[Mood: Wore out :((][Listening To: Chocolate Disco by PERFUME]
I stayed home from school today because I was really wore out this morning. It would be around this time I would start having back pain and female problems..around the time where the play is starting to get serious.. u__u
My mom's birthday is tomorrow too..I just hope by this weekend, i'll be doing better. I feel like crap.. But even if I don't feel any better by tomorrow or Saturday..I so glad my mom's birthday is up..because I can wait for all the excitement we're all gonna have celebrating. :3 Knowing that is just about keeping me on my toes. ^^
All thanks to Lyla, i'm love the little all girl techno group Perfume. I've heard of them before, but I never listened to them. Their bubblegum high pitch voices remind me of Morning Musume a bit, but they're not as annoying as them, xD Don't get me wrong, I love Morning Musume, but they can get confusing and annoying. It's much easier with perfume, there only being three girls, haha.
Speaking of Morning Musume, I just started watching another H!P series called HPS Dokyu..like a diary for all the members going about their day. It's really funny and a good time breaker, much like Ayaka's Surprise English Lessons, lol.
And, i've been listening to a lot of other artists I haven't in a while, like BoA, Hitomi, An Cafe, The Brilliant Green, Arashi, High and Mighty Color and Mika Nakashima. Mika's been coming out with a lot of ballads and PV's since her whole NANA adventures stopped.
Umm, i've been tunning into more animes, like currently, Air Gear, Shingetsutan Tsukihime, Paradise Kiss and a lot of Marmalade Boy. lol. ^^
So yep, that's what i've been doing besides rehearsal after school...and being sick. :P
Things still aren't as great since Ni left, and since BB has been really busy. But...I guess I can do nothing but look forward to other good things and be glad that I got the chance to meet them. :]
I'm addicted to this song :]

End Of The First Month~
Nyah~I didn't go to school today..been way busy allll weekend, actually starting from Thursday.
I've had micros in my head for the last two months..GAH! I'm never ever getting them again unless not with my real hair, and three people promise to help me take it down! T_T
It took 7 hours for it to get done and four days for it to be taken down..after that, my head is sooo jacked up, I had to skip school today because I still have to wash it, cut it, groom it, etc, etc.. *sigh*
I know my Mandarin Orange missed me..T.T I forgot to call her and tell her I wouldn't be at school..xP She's gonna beat me up tomorrow..so is the rest of them. I hope I didn't miss anything, things always happen when i'm not there -//-
This Saturday, i'm suppose to (as to my wishes) be going to Nyna's converting party..it's so so sad though, her parents are making her change her religion to Catholic..>> I really don't care too much, a week ago we were still enemies, but she said she absolutely wanted me to come, so she can redeem herself and our new friendship......can't wait to see how that's gonna turn out..afterwards, we're meeting at this place where the real party will begin. I still don't really like Nyna, but I never really had a problem with her..it was always more I hated her with a passion, lol. I just hope we don't end up going at it again. I don't wanna waste my time...
I haven't been able to get on the computer much..my Biology Teacher Mrs. Barkley called my mom and told her a stupid story..just because I didn't feel up to completing my work. She always takes her anger out on people instead of those who really piss her off. I gave my book to Alex because he needed it..normally I wouldn't but it's not like I was using it. So when she asked me where my book was, I told her Alex had it and she totally flipped and started yelling at how stupid that was..she didn't even ask why I did it, and directly contacted my mom..i'm not sure if I will be able to go to Nyna's party..
Umm, all that's been happening..and finding more Nana stuff.
BB gave me her mobile phone #, and told me to text her whenever I was in trouble. Haha. Just because I was whining Kai was stressing me out, lol. She's so worrysome..she spoils me. She said it seems I get treated like a princess and that she can't but find how I act adorable, so she kept called me 'Kawaii Princess Poine' xD Yah, she needs to stop, i've already gotten use to it, I thought i'd only sound true to Dewi and Momo, lol.
Speaking of Soyoung(Momo)..she's making fansigns and i've decided to also..so if anyone is interested and wants a fansign, say so on me C-box and i'll prolly have it in by next week or later.. :] I won't be like her and say, "If you want one, you have to make one for me too! If you don't, I won't make one for you!! >:(" xD She's so stubborn..that's okay, no one has to if they don't want to. And I do customize, so if you want a design i'll try my best. ^.^
The picture up there..Soyoung made that one for Jungie! :D (in case anyone is lost on what a fansign is) Jungie's is nice, lol, and so true.
I can't wait for mine to be finished, heh. I wanted purple Vivienne Westwood Orbs on mine..I wonder if she'll so it..>> Even so, i'll post all the fansigns up when they all get done.
CIAO~

2 days After The Harvest Moon~
It's been 37 days since i've posted anything here. Why do I post here at all? It's not like I use journals to re-read; it's not like my memory isn't already indifferently stable; It's not like i'm anti-social; it's not like someone actually reads them...so why am I technically talking to myself? It makes me feel better? I like to type out what's been happening in my life or what i'm thinking, but I don't know why..I just do..so I never told what happened with the AWA convention..I never found a Yoruichi costume..Bleach, I finally watched..it's pretty good..I like it..but instead for the con, I went to China town and bought a Chinese mini dress which is black with gold flowers, and a pink and gold kimono..I got complements on the kimono. The pictures were really crappy. Uh..I really don't feel like typing but, also I went driving with one of my old friends I haven't seen in four years and her mom Saturday before last..uh, my grades raised in school, so glad..probably why I haven't posted in 37 days..was too busy getting work done..anyway, my current problem of the year is how the guys of my school..mainly 12th graders are leaving and i'm so sad. Friday, I was thinking all day of how this guy I have a strange liking to is leaving in the Spring..I don't think I have feelings for him, because every time I see him, I don't get carried, or even pay too much attention to it..but for some reason, every time someone mentions him, or I see him in a picture, I can't focus. I can never get him off my mind, it's so strange. =/ What does that mean?? lol. It just sounds like I like him, but I act so casual when he's around, so it seems like I don't. Maybe i'm just a emotional girl, and i'm sad because I think i'll never see him again. You see me..I don't like people. Now I know how that sounds, but it's so true. They come into your life, even if they have no relation, and then leave you forever..I can just cry right now thinking about it. Like..I get sad not seeing a stranger I see a lot. lol, it's not really weird, because everyone misses people they've been seeing a lot, even if they don't know them right? Like people you see on the hall way at school, or someone you see at stores? When you don't see them anymore, everything is different. But that makes me sad, because I don't want these people to leave. Haha, sure i'll get over it, but...sometimes I don't. It's really stupid but, even people i've only had one conversation with on the phone or on the internet and never met in person. Unless I just don't really care about them, i'll cry and be sad, and it pains me. So I hate people. I hate high school. I'm a Sophomore (10th year) and all the seniors of last year have all gone to college. Split apart, and that still makes me sad. Monday, one of them came up to the school..I kinda had a crush on him last year, but I got over it. Anyway, I was totally thinking about the senior of this year I like, that's leaving, when I saw him walking towards me. I almost froze in my foot steps and hugged him because I thought I'd never see him again, but he was pre-occupied with someone I didn't like, so I snapped back to reality and went home. It was the end of the day. I thought i'd never see him again but I did, and who knows if he won't come back and visit, or i'll see him somewhere else? So it'll most likely be that way with others..but it still makes me sad. Probably because I regret not ever talking to them. Anyway, I just go on when i'm all emotional..lol ^^; And doing so makes me feel good, so I guess it's good that I type these. :] Uh..my birthdays coming up, that's all I can think about. Also I keep wishing my Mandarin friend didn't have to work so much, she has no free time. I wish I can go over her house or she could come over, because she's the only person at my school I connect with so greatly. I guess that's all I have to blog about..so i'll go ahead and post my crappy pictures. 
I think that guy really looks like Vash..(from left to right) Meryll and Vash from Trigun cosplayers and my friend Areku..the weird tall guy in the back is not in it. ^^I hate that Areku! She totally kept taking pictures when I wasn't ready!! =_=; Me and a girl cosplaying as Chun-Li from Street Fighters.
There's the little hefer there! The one threatning to cut off Kagome's head that sucks at taking pictures! lol. Me and Areku totally hate Kagome, but Areku hates her more..so we got this girl cosplayed as Kagome to agree on doing this picture..actually, the idea was for her to be begging for her life, or looking scarded, but she stated she'd only do it if she could flip us off for hating Kagome. And boy did we argue..So all haters, Kagome says f**k you, and to all fans of that home wrecker, Kikyo is better, and she doesn't need a man to come to her rescue like that sorry excuse for a reincarnated preistess, wandering soul or not! So go screw yourself. :] (only toward haters of Kikyo because they think Kagome is better xP)
Very simple..the FMA stars and me. ^^ Oh boy, if that cosplayer as Ed was a guy and hott, my Kimono would totally be ripped apart if you know what I mean. Lmao! I'm such a whore sometimes. ^^ Moving on!
My favortie one with me in it..I guess..I mean, it's the one I show off a lot, so yeah, I guess it is my favorite. lol. Anyway, the texture is bad and so is the lighting, but I love how it came out..probably like it because it's the best of the bunch. ^^ Hinata from Naruto cosplayer.And the last one i'll be showing with myself alone and someone else, as me and the charecter I was suppose to go as. Lol! I'm just now thinking of why I didn't ask her how or where she got her outfit! She's cosplaying as Yoruichi from Bleach..not the outfit I was gonna wear, but it'd be cool if I did go as her, then we'd be Yoruichi from the past and Yoruichi now..weird cause i'm taller. ^^Areku with the Pucca fan girls ^^ Sooo cute..the one in the yellow is 18..they make Areku look big and tall, when actually i'm four inches taller than her and i'm 5'9" ^^

Viernes! :0
Oh-so-classy- ;D
El hoy es Viernes. So happy it is...this school week when by fast..probably because I didn't go to school Thursday. >_> Oh yea. I'm like using Spanish now..lol. I finally got taken out of ROTC..(Yay!!)..they moved me to Graphic Arts..I hope that means my CSS skills will develop. (What?! What CSS skills, I just jerk around with it until I'm satisfied or not over-irritated by the fact that I don't know CSS at all =\) Today..I found out my Chinese friend doesn't know what Spaghettii is...ramen or noodles yeah, but not that Italian goodness..it was adorable..she said she'd consider starting to eat it more..lol. I bet her if she ate more American foods, I would eat more Asian food..we gave each other homework over the weekend to come up with a dish by Monday..lol. Anyway, i'm in a 50's classy girl mood. Especially because I just got finished looking at a 'Newport News' fashion magazine. =] So classy friday it is..until I see that last episode of IGPX on Cartoon Newtork..aww, I wish it didn't end. ;-;
Updates of that and Saturday line up on Wednesday. x]
