To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question ^^;
I'm confused whether I should continue my sleep for another 3 hours, or just stay alert until tonight. I went to bed at 11 pm last night, had intended to wake up around 7-8 am, but was awaken at 3 am because Arlene was talking on the phone and the wall isn't soundproofed enough. I couldn't sleep thereafter, so I run some errands. Browsing, scanning, trying to design a layout, doing homework, etc. My first class is at 1 pm so I have to wake up as late as 12.30 pm. Hmm... I still have 3 hours.. shall I sleep? ^_^v

I have been working for my Kyoko Hikawa site today. The title would be Pastel Mood. I've been thinking of what I shall put on the site. I might offer manga translations on some of her works. I'm working on the layout now. I have to begin writing the content soon.
I'm going to try to sleep.... if I can't, I'll just go back to the computer. Sore ja..

6:11:00 PM
The essay was finally *FINALLY* done at 8.30 am -_-;; I went to bed at 9 am, but I couldn't sleep right away. It took me about an hour to fall asleep, because I was so anxious to sleep right away. If I had slept right away, I would have had 5 hours of sleep, which was not that bad. But since I literally forced myself to sleep, I felt under pressure and couldn't sleep at all ._. It must've been around 10.15 am when I finally fell asleep. I went to the first class, where the essay was due, and skipped the next 2 classes *naughty me* =P Well it was raining quite hard and I just didn't feel like going to class, especially since I was still very sleepy. I'm very hungry now.. haven't eaten all day. I've ordered Domino's Pizza. Don't feel like cooking today.

When I was doing the essay last night, I was out of ideas and got bored a couple of times that I ended up browsing for Hana Yori Dango *again* ^^; I took a couple of breaks by reading the manga translations (which isn't finished yet until now) on random volumes. HYD Project has all the manga translations from vol.1 to 26. Emi's HYD page is a good source for the anime (it has episode guide) and other informations. I must admit that the manga is much better than the anime. It has always been the case though... No matter which one I read/see first (be it the manga first or the anime first), I always end up loving the storyline in the manga rather than the anime. I don't know why. I think the space & time is limited in the anime, so one can't actually put everything there. Therefore, anime lacks a lot of important plots that are covered in the manga. Another example is Marmalade Boy. Although I saw the anime episodes first, then read the manga (not completely done though), I love the storyline in the manga above the anime. It's simple, yet rich in expressions and thoughts of the characters. It's what important, I think, to be able to understand the characters feelings. Uh well.... I've always loved reading & interested in storymaking (usually fictions: novels, comics, movies, etc), I sometimes analyze too deeply =P I can't write very well though... I can make a fictional story, but I'm not that good with writing. I have to take English writing classes before I can write, I guess ^^; However, I have no intentions to write my own story. I prefer reading other people's fictional stories, especially the good ones.

Oops, I'm rambling there. *is getting impatient* God, I'm so hungry *_* WHERE is that damn pizza?! The store is only 2 minutes walking distance, why haven't the delivery guy come yet O_O *stomps her feet* My stomach has been growling loudly for the past 45 minutes -_-

*hears knocks on the door* Ah, it's finally arrived :D *suddenly switches to happy mood* Bon appetite =9

2:56:00 AM
Happy 1st birthday to Leon :D

I probably won't be able to sleep at all >_<
I'm working on a take-home essay that's due on 2.30 pm today, a 4-page very-difficult essay O_O And I'm sleepy already...
Anyhow, Shampoo has a nice *blue* layout at catcafe.net and a rainbow brite layout at her blog. Welcome back, Shampoo ^_~ I was wondering where you disappeared.. but I'm glad you're back now ^^ If you read this, Flipper, I'm sorry I don't have time to reply to your email yet. I'm extremely busy from this week until final exams week that end on Dec 15. I'll try to find some time this weekend. This message is also for Meimi, Luno, Heck, and other people whose emails haven't been replied yet. I'm so sorry..

Mary, that's a pretty layout on your blog *_* You know, Mary, if you had waited, I could've sent you a new Phantom novel! I have two (different covers) and since I love my first one (which is worn out due to too much reading >_<), I could've sent you the second one. It's as good as new. So do you like it now? I love it more than the Gaston Leroux one. Susan Kay's story is so romantic... I love & pity Erik so much in her novel.

Alexa has updated cc.net with Clover layout that was supposed to be version 24, but sisterhood circumstances required urgent layout change so she had to postpone this one. I personally love this layout, it's simple beautiful *_* I usually don't like green, but this Clover one is irresistable. It looks perfect in all resolutions, especially in 1024 res. Beautiful, Alexa ^_~ Anyhow, I missed you :_: I haven't gotten a chance to talk to you due to holiday and this stupid assignments. Hopefully I'll be able to talk to you this weekend...

Fel, have you been able to get ahold of a computer yet? =P How are Jakarta & Semarang? I miss Indonesia so much *_* Well, I'll see you in 3 weeks!
Serena, I like your drawings! They're so cute XD

Now, I have to restart my computer since it's giving me glitches everytime I want to open a new window -_- And back to working on the essay *gack* Sore ja ~

6:44:00 AM
*phew*
Finally done with homeworks that are due Monday & Tuesday *_*
I'm still jet-lagged, btw. It sucks, especially since school has started. Yesterday I went to bed at 10 am and woke up at 6 pm ^^; That sleeping cycle would be wonderful if I were in Indonesia >_< Thanksgiving holiday is over *sighs* From today forward, life won't be easy for me. I have a lot (I repeat: a LOT) of assignments to do. I won't be able to enjoy my winter break in Indonesia. I have to do 8 business writing papers (and I hate business papers.. it's so damn hard -_-) within 12 weeks, minus the 4-week holiday (1 paper every week, I suppose -_-). I have a 4-page very-difficult essay due this Wednesday, an important group project presentation this Friday, homeworks, quizzes,... *is extremely worried & stressed* The first final exam will be next week, along with Japanese oral exam. Then on the following week, I will face 3 final exams and the group project paper will be due on Monday that week *takes a deep breath* No, it won't be an easy task at all *shakes head* I'm doomed O_O

That's why I hate senior year ¬_¬ I only have 1 more regular semester and 1 summer semester, but I almost can't stand it anymore... Given that I don't like business in general makes me feel like in hell. I keep telling myself that I'll be free in 8 months... but.. but... :_: :_: :_: I hope I can survive....

Given this situation, I don't think I'll be able to update ikkoku.net anymore. Perhaps a little bit, but nothing major will happen.. at least for the following 3 months. I don't know *sighs* I have a lot of ideas for my projects but I don't think I could make it a realization anymore. I might cut down my internet time, too ._. I have to discipline myself. This is what I have to pay for slacking off too much & procrastinating all the time.

So, all of you who are still in high school: learn from my lesson. Think thoroughly before choosing a major, unless you want to end up in the wrong major & suffer from having to finish it. Yes, you can always change major, but it will waste time, money, energy, etc... And one more thing: don't let your parents choose a major for you! Never ever do that -_- Try to break free from them if they force you. It's your life and you're the one who go to college and take courses, not them. I don't understand why parents still force their children to "be" a successful person by choosing a seemingly good major that has good prospects for the future. They probably say they don't mean any harm with the intentions, but what if the children don't like it and it's too late to change majors? -_-
Uh, I'm babbling >_< Better sleep.. school is coming *gah*

8:18:00 AM
Well, I'm back... -_-
I don't know whether I should be happy or sad. Neither, I guess. I'm not happy to be back (of course, with all these assignments waiting to be done -_-), but I'm kind of relieved to be back & feel at home, if you know what I mean ^^; Uh, perhaps you don't, stupid me >_< Anyhow.. ^^; I arrived 8 hours ago. My friend picked me up at the airport (thanks to Edgar & Ica). It's freezinggggg *is shivering* I hate this weather *sobs* I want to move to California asap :_:

Let's do some flashback...

Thanksgiving evening: Thursday, Nov 23rd
After I had lunch, I went to Kinokuniya *again* with Bayu to check out some books that I didn't have time to see the day before =P I ended up buying Japanese conversation guides and some stationery. Then we went back home, had some snacks (I sure ate a lot today =P), and went out again to Edwards Cinema at Irvine Spectrum Center (or simply Spectrum). We watched 2 movies consecutively. I watched the Bounce for the first one with Bayu, his younger brother Adit & a girl (Adit's friend). Bayu's older brother, Eka, watched Meet The Parents with his girlfriend and her brother. Bounce wasn't as romantic as I had thought before, from seeing the preview. But it wasn't that bad... especially since I like Ben Affleck ^_~
Sidenote: I love The Internet Movie Database *_* You can find everything movie-related there! Oh, I also love big cinemas like Edwards Cinema. The screen is wonderfully big, the chair is big and comfortable, and everything is clean, including the toilet.

The second movie I watched was Unbreakable. It wasn't as good as what I had expected from the preview -_- The movie was slow & not very impressively done. I had been expecting a deeper & more complicated storyline & conclusion, but it came out as being centered around comic books, which wasn't as deep as I had thought. I was jumpy all the time, especially since the music was thrilling. But it wasn't exactly a thriller movie, nor a suspense one. It was just... surprising. That's all the impression I got after I went out of the theater. By the way, the theater in which I saw Unbreakable is enormous. The screen is huge and the inside is wide & spacious. Just like an IMAX theater. I think it's the biggest theater in the cinema.

We went home after that.. then watched Friends, Just Shoot Me and Will & Grace that had been recorded when we went to the cinema :D After all, I didn't want to miss those sitcoms ^_~

Black Friday, Nov 24th
Nothing much... I went back home today. Almost late for the flight to Pittsburgh. Despite not having celebrated Thanksgiving, I however ended up having turkey for late lunch on the plane =9 It was pretty good, considering it being flight meal. I had to borrow a small travelling bag for my books =P Yes, I shopped quite a lot. After all, I got such a nice bargain, so I couldn't have missed it ^^ I bought 4 different scents of purely silk body splash from Bath & Body Works at Pittsburgh International Airport. It's the best body splash for all seasons, because it's not as heavily moisturized as body lotion, but still leaves the skin smooth & not dry at all. When I arrived at my apartment, the room temperature was 58 F (14 C) *_* I turned on the heater right away and left it on all night. Gah, I hate this weather. That's one thing that I always miss from California... the nice weather *sighs*

And now.... I have to sleep ~_~ I'm a bit jet-lagged though. Oyasumi nasai...

6:14:00 PM
LA time: 3.14 PM
Happy Thanksgiving! ^^
I don't celebrate Thanksgiving though... so we won't eat turkey.
Anyhow, I went everywhere yesterday... I'm still tired *yawns* I dropped my Samsonite bag to have it fixed, had a haircut at Jose Eber, shopped at Kinokuniya for almost 2 hours XD Then waited for my friend & his brother shopping at Container Store... and going home afterwards. Later that night, I met my junior high friend, Shirley, whom I hadn't met for 3 years (although we're both in USA ^^;), who came with her boyfriend. We had late dinner at The Boat restaurant (Thai). I also met another friend, Sandra, who came with her husband and daughter. Obviously, she's older than me. Five years older, to be exact. She's my "travel agent" (she works at a travel agency), I usually buy plane tickets from her. The most important reason for meeting her is to get my SQ ticket (for this December to Indonesia) from her. They didn't eat cause it was around 11 pm and past the time for their daughter to sleep (she's only 19 months). As always, I ate like a pig =P The food is great, but Boston's Siam Cuisine is still better ^_~

It was around 1am when we got out of the restaurant and went inside Life Plaza, a big Japanese store in the area. They have cute stationery like Tarepanda & Sanrio, CDs, cafe, comic library (Chinese-translated), and many more. I drooled over the comics with Shirley and talked about all the comics we recognized from the time we were in junior high =P I bet the guys were bored waiting for us *laughs* I didn't know until yesterday: Chinese-translated comics are very good in quality *_* They make the cover & color & everything exactly the same as the original Japanese comics. The only exceptions are the title (they change it to Chinese --> equal Japanese kanji), and of course the translations ^^;; All in all, it's very good, unlike Indonesian-translated comics -_- I wish I could read Chinese *_* Oh well, I'll just study Japanese since it's a lot easier :D

The store closed at 2 am, so we went home parting with Shirley. I forgot what time I crashed bed... perhaps around 6 or 7 am. I woke up at 2 pm. The people outside are having BBQ! I'm going to eat *stomach growls* There are big sausages, steak, chicken wings, and some deserts =9 We're going to the cinema tonight.. Spend Thanksgiving day watching movies ^^ Until then *waves*

1:08:00 AM
LA time: 10.08 PM
I'm going to sleep... surprised? :D Yeah, I'm still sleepy... >_< I'll sleep now & wake up early tomorrow. Mary and Feli, I hope you both will still be around when I wake up. Oh yes, Mary's novacaine.net has worked again ^^

What's with all these spiders? >_< Sure, LA has nice weather and all, but how come there are a lot of spiders inside the house? Ever since I came here last Saturday, I've found 4 spiders: 2 big ones (with long legs) and 2 small/medium ones. Gah, I HATE spiders >_< But wait... they might not be spiders though.. cause they're much thinner than usual spiders. Ah well *shrugs* it's just the same to me... I still loathe insects -_-

Let's see... During the rest of my stay, I still need to go to Hard Rock Cafe, South Coast Plaza, Little Tokyo (Japanese town in LA) or Kinokuniya bookstore elsewhere (can be either one, as long as I can find a Japanese bookstore =P).... ummm, what else? I'm going to have a haircut tomorrow at Jose Eber Salon at South Coast Plaza. Hopefully it'll turn out good. It's currently a bit too long for my face shape. I could never look good with long hair -_-

7:19:00 PM
LA time: 4.19 PM
I don't know whether you're reading this or nor, but... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, David :D

*yawns*
I'm still sleepy ~_~ I only slept for less than 4 hours, since I ended up going to bed at almost 12 noon. Yes yes, it's my own fault, I know.... I had been checking the new layout over & over again before I went to bed, to make sure everything works well without any error. Speaking about error, I have to make the 404 error page soon. I've been procrastinating on that one too long. I'm also thinking of making a favorite fonts page.... but it might be too unoriginal & not very necessary. Hmmm.. *thinks* we'll see ^^

Alrighty, need to take a bath now... I have to go in 30 minutes... ja ne!

12:16:00 PM
LA time: 9.16 AM
*stretches*
God, I'm totally worn out >_<;;
Just spent around 12 hours (on & off - perhaps more ^^;) working on the new layout for ikkoku.net... and guess what, it's finally done -_- Yes, finally.... gah, I'm so tired >_< I've been talking to Alexa for the last 6 hours while finishing the site's updates. She has been patient enough to bear with me until I've uploaded everything, so naturally she's the first one to see the new layout ^_~
I've been diligent though... I made a new music page with around 23 MP3s, a layout archive page, and some more minor sub-sections updates. And now... I badly need to sleep -_- Good morning everyone =P

9:52:00 AM
LA time: 6.52 AM
*is currently abusing her new temporary cable connection* XD
Yes, I've been downloading tons of MP3s in the last 3 hours.. mrehehe =P

I'm so tired right now..... *stretches for a while*
I couldn't sleep right away yesterday, until around 7 am -_- I managed to wake up at 11 am, talked to Alexa for an hour, then got ready to go to Cabazon. I, Bayu (my bestfriend), and Rony (Bayu's older brother's highschool friend -- he has lived in this house (along with Bayu's younger brother and his mom - the elder brother moves all the time due to his job) for a couple of years already... so he's like a family member to them) didn't leave until 3 pm though. I was extremely hungry by the time we finally left the house. So we ordered drive-in food from Jack in the Box on the way to Cabazon and ate on the car. Since the drive time is 1 hour each way, we only had 4 hours to shop.. which was actually not enough ^^; Of course, there are about 100 stores and I could only visit 4 stores in total -_- I spent 1.5 hours in A|X alone, another 1.5 hours in Space (Prada & Miu Miu), and the last 1 hour in BCBG and Max Studio. I wanted to go to other places, but the outlet is so big I was too tired to walk to the other end of the outlets. Besides, there wasn't enough time. Oh well, I can always go back ^^

Afterwards, we went to Los Angeles (almost 2 hour drive time from Cabazon) to have dinner at Ramayani (one of the best Indonesian restaurants in LA =9). As always, I ate like a pig *hides in a corner* =P The fried rice (nasi goreng, Alexa? ^_~) with buttered squid is the best! *_* It's spicy, too! Oh, my heaven on earth.... :D When we finally got back home, it was around 1 am... gah, so tired.

While abusing the cable connection, I do find a lot of great mp3s, mostly from the aniramp homepages. One of the complete mp3 sites is this one. It has a lot of Karekano mp3s! I just love Karekano's music *_* Also I found the whole CD tracks of Rurouni Kenshin OST vol.2 and Gundam Wing Operations 1 at Anime MP3 World. It also has Final Fantasy 8 Piano Collection!

I suppose I should sleep now... It's already sunny outside >_< I might have a haircut today... Ja ne ~

7:18:00 AM
LA time: 4.18 AM
*waves to everyone*
Genki desu ka?
I'm in Los Angeles right nowww :D I'm so happy... I'm going to spend a week worth of holiday far from my old little town, with a nice weather and so many things to do & see. I can meet a lot of people, especially some friends whom I rarely see. I can go shopping.. or at least do window-shopping since I'm broke anyway ^_~ I can go to Las Vegas and enter the casinos *proudly shows her ID* Yes, I'm 21 :D Last time I went to LA was March 2000 (during spring break holiday) and I haven't turned 21 yet, not until July 2000. I was about to go to Las Vegas, but I thought I couldn't get in the casinos anyway.. so I saved the plan for future trips. This time I'll finally be able to enjoy Las Vegas to its fullest ^^ There are still a lot of great things to do, but the nicest thing is: I can connect through cable network and the speed is enormous XD *dances in happiness*

*points up*
To make it easier, I've posted the current time at Los Angeles. It's on Pacific (PST) time, which is 3 hours behind Eastern (EST) time, my usual blog time at where I live (Pennsylvania). That way, one can easily tell what time I post the entry without having to substract 3 hours each time I post from LA. Do I make any sense? ^^;

Fel, you mean trifocus didn't give you permission to upload .htaccess? I'm not allowed either, but I can customize my error page, which is nice ^^ My host has set it up for me, I just emailed them and they did it right away. The customer service is good... that's why I don't really regret my choice of hosting. Ah, if only your host would reply to your email ~_~ You should pick a decent host so you don't have to constantly move ^^; But of course, finding a good host with the best features at the cheapest price is very hard *_* Such is the problem I'm facing right now... (and perhaps everyone else, too).
Of all the 7 new domains, .name is the most okay one. The others are just... weird O_O I wonder why they didn't issue .web and .site. Both of them are the best, in my opinion.

Oh yes, I almost missed my flight to LA due to roadblocks caused by people from the football game leaving Beaver Stadium >_< It took me 35 minutes to get to the airport, more than twice the usual 15 minutes driving time. I was so bored being in the plane for 5 hours, I ended up reading a book for 2 hours & sleeping for the next 2 hours. Since I sit at the 3rd row from the back, I couldn't get chicken-with-wild-rice dinner. They had gone before the stewardess reached my row :_: I had to stick with ravioli pasta... and of course, 3 raviolis weren't enough for me. Therefore, shortly after I arrived at LA, I had dinner with Bayu (I'm staying at his house while in LA) at a Chinese restaurant... and I ate 3 bowls of rice XD Deep fried squid *yum yum* My ultimate favorite food of all time! I was soooo full ^^; *people kicking her "of course, you ate like a pig!" =P*

I'd better sleep now.. I want to go to Cabazon tomorrow, there's a big outlet called Desert Hills Premium Outlets, one of the Premium Outlets (the best & most complete outlets) in USA. My heaven on earth :D
Enjoy the last day of the weekend, everyone!

6:10:00 AM
Gah.. it's finally working *_* Blogger hasn't been working well today. I wrote a long post earlier, but it was gone cause blogger wouldn't connect -_- I never learned, I guess... That has happened once before this one, and I still didn't copy. I hope I'll learn from now on since it has happened twice already *_*

I hope I still remember what I wrote... *thinks*
Felicia has finally gotten her six.nu working well (after almost 2 weeks of waiting for domain host transfer to be completed) and she has a new fresh orange layout sitting nicely, looking all pretty and wonderful :D It was a bad experience though.. having to wait such a long time for a single domain transfer.. and since she has (and had) a megabook, she lost all of her entries on her previous guestbook (installed on the previous host's server) :_: I hope it won't ever happen to me *_* I hope your new host will be much better than ezpublishing, Fel.

Mary's novacaine.net is also in trouble now. Somehow, the IP points to the wrong address, so it's in a mess right now. The current resident of novacaine appears to be tradeaway.com. Mary's blog now resides temporarily at Yoshe's domain.

I watched Charlie's Angels with Arlene (roomie), Nerrie (see Nov 12 at 4.01 am post), and 4 other friends. It was fun & interesting, although not extraordinarily good. I actually laughed a lot during the movie XD God, I ate a lot today *_* Before the movie, we had dinner at Seoul Garden, a Korean restaurant. And around 4 am, I had instant noodle. Yes I know, I eat like a pig =P But it's still nothing compared to Arlene or her boyfriend *laughs* Just kidding, Lene ^_~

Anyhow, the new layout is literally finished, but I still want to change a couple of things. Some parts still irk me, I have to elaborate more on those and fix them. I'm going to LA tomorrow so I can't do it right now nor tomorrow... Hm.. probably early next week it'll be finish *crosses her fingers*
Oh yes, it actually snowed quite a lot in the evening, and the wind was freezing cold >_< I don't really mind snow, but not with a lot of wind.

Just got an email from rename:

ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) have just released 7 new top level domains that Web users will be able to purchase in a few months time:
.biz - businesses
.name - individuals
.museum - museums
.pro - professionals
.aero - aviation
.coop - cooperatives
.info - general information

Find out more info about these new Top Levels Domains here and here.

I think I should sleep now *yawns* I'm so tired after packing and doing stuff... *stretches* I have to wake up early tomorrow. Oyasumi nasai...

3:11:00 PM
First snow of the season :D (although only for a while and a very light one ^^;). I had lunch with 2 friends in Chili's.. and I'm so damn full right now. I'm going to LA tomorrow, and I have so much stuff to do before I can go. I have to finish 2 homeworks (and give it to my roomie to drop it off on campus =P) and a presentation power point file that my friend asked me to translate to Indonesian from English. I also promise my roommate & another friend to watch a movie tonight.. so I'm gonna be busy -_- And now I have to go to school to drop off a homework & meet a friend. I'm going to skip the Japanese class today. I'm running late, so ja ne for now ~

2:30:00 AM
Today's weather is even more freezing than yesterday's *shivers* I believe it was about 2 degree C this afternoon, and getting lower in the evening. I had to wear earmuffs and gloves for the first time this semester. And of course my warmest jacket of all time ^^

I'm now wasting my time searching for images at these sites: photodisc and tonystone. I love the photography *_*
Anyhow, I'd better sleep now *yawns* Not much to say.. my life has been boring lately...

4:53:00 AM
So much effort trying to sleep at 10.30 pm... It easily failed on 10.45 pm when my ex-boyfriend called ^^;; Well, I was rather fresh again after talking to him for 45 minutes, so I tried to finish up editing the layout. It's almost done now.. *looks at the time* 4.30 am -_- See how long it took me for a single layout? o_O
I've been talking to Felicia during the last 2 hours.. poor her, the domain transfer takes 2 weeks (perhaps more) and six.nu still can't be online until now. I'd be mad if that happened to me.

The weather has dropped to 40s F -_- Within a week, it will drop continuously... and it will reach 20s next week according to weather.com.. *shivers at the thought* I went to the comic store today after class and bought Silent Mobius vol.4 (graphic novel / manga) and Newtype. I also have some new fansubs from Sachi. Yeah, a lot of new things to keep me busy (and slack off more *laughs*). Oops, I just remember I have a Japanese vocab quiz tomorrow... have to study! Ja ne ~

4:10:00 AM
Homeworks done, essay done... what's left is studying for the exam. Not bad :D I've also edited some parts of the layout... hopefully I'll be able to finish it tomorrow.
*yawns* I'd better sleep now... Still have to study for the Japanese exam o_O Oyasumi nasai!

10:04:00 PM
I'm..... doomed x_x
Let's see... 2 homeworks, 1 exam, 1 essay paper, 1 quiz for tomorrowwwww.. >_< *starts panicking*
I only did 1 homework only! Wahhhh :_:

And yes... layouts... too many layouts to do... no time at all -_-
Aaaaaaaaa *is truly panicked right now*

Alexa has issued the new layout on cc.net to celebrate the sisterhood.... that means I really have to rush. That's a pretty layout, Alexa! Done in only 1 hour, too.. I wish I could do that ^^;
Ah yes, a lot of new layouts on people's blogs: Alexa & Vern went blue :D Brian went gray, Serena went black, and Ruby went purplish-blue.

I wonder where Suz is.. I never see her on ICQ again and she never updates her blog... I hope she's alright.
I really need to start worrying now... *shakes head* No, not worrying x_X I need to start working now.. or else I won't be able to sleep tonight -_-

3:23:00 AM
I've spent a few hours looking for brushes (for Photoshop & Paint Shop Pro), pictures & images, and trying to do math homework ^^;. Found a lot of pictures & images at freefoto. Actually corbis has a lot of good ones... but it requires payment -_- For some reason, I feel like browsing Japan-related pictures. Perhaps the effect of Nerrie coming here yesterday makes me want to see Japan even more ^^; Oh I just remembered, she told me a lot of Japanese high school cultures and I compared them to the ones I've seen from anime. Very interesting...

Some interesting *Japanese* websites I've found...
Japanese Art Museum: virtual museum of traditional arts.
Indonesian & Japanese Batik : reminds me of my extra curriculair activity during my junior year in high school ^^;
Flop Design : your regular design site
Ja*Font : a collection of Japanese fonts links.
Klein & Dytham : Japanese architecture & design.
Japan pictures : beautiful pictures of Japan... some files have a big size though.
And of course... the infamous Real Japan! =)

Hmmm... when I think about it, my largest area of interest has always been art & design. From web design to graphic design, on to photography, architecture & art. I also love interior design & fashion. Somehow, art relates to music (including orchestra & instruments) & theater (including musical play). And I love them dearly, too. Now you see, I'm a very abstract & "art" person (although not necessarily very creative ^^;)... but why on earth do I major in business? o_O Sure, my major is a combination between business (the "Management Science" part) and computer (the "Information System" part). But still... I hate business -_- Ah, of course... parent's pressure x_x Oh well, it's not too late. I'm still quite young. I can always do what I like from now on.. ne?

Perhaps my experience is going to be a good lesson, for me (not to decide my children's future, but to leave the choice to them.. since it's their life & their future) and for everyone else (who doesn't know yet what to do for the future & who is being forced by their parents & have them decide one's future). My advice is take your time & think thoroughly before deciding... because once you make a mistake, it might be quite a hassle (but not impossible or too late) to change directions.

*points to self* Like me.. I have to suffer my 4 precious years to finish this degree with a major I don't even have interest on. Why not change major, you ask? Because, it was too late already when I completely realized that. I don't want my parents to spend more money for me (being an international student with an expensive tuition & having to live abroad with a much higher living cost, and a lot of other factors concerning money), while Indonesian's economy is at risk & the currency has devaluated a lot since 3 years ago. I can't be selfish... my parents still have my brother to think about. He's going to college in 1.5 years from now.. and with the situation in Indonesia, he might not be able to study in the USA at all, at least not in the mean time... *sighs* I'd feel really guilty if I still asked for more money (than what is available for me) while I should've been able to support myself. So that's why I want to graduate as soon as possible and try to make my own living.
Therefore, for you who still have chance upon your life & your future... don't waste it. Not many people have the same chance as you do. Some people don't even have a chance at all due to a lot of circumstances.

And now... time to see the continuation of Yawara! :D *mutters to herself "yeah, great way to snap out of a serious train of thought, elyse ^^;"*

11:18:00 PM
Hueee? 11 pm already?? o_O Oh woww.... I actually chatted with Arlene for 2.5 hours! We talked over dinner & Haagen Dazs ice cream.. =9 The topic, as usual, is about love, men vs women, feelings, etc... =P I'm so lazyyyy >_< I think I'm going to take a bath now... hopefully I'll feel better & fresh since the weather is rather cold.

Ah, factory512 has a new look for the main page! And orangebleu is wonderful.. Hmmm... now I can browse a lot of great sites again.. yayy :D

4:19:00 AM
Maryyy, you've changed your blog's layout again? O_O;; You're too quick! ^^; But... shouldn't you be studying? *pokes pokes* How's the exam so far? Good luck for the rest of the exams, kay? ^^

4:01:00 AM
*takes a deep breath*
Ahhhh......... *stares blankly in a dreamy state of mind*
Beautifullll *sobs* Marmalade Boy is beautiful! *_*

<flashback>
I only slept for 5 hours yesterday... since my friend Nerrie called around 1 pm wanting to come to my place at 2 pm. Nerrie is Indonesian, but at the age of 4, she moved to Japan with the whole family. She literally grew up in Japan. Then she moved to USA for college... and there she is now, at Penn State ^^ She speaks Japanese and English fluently, and understands some Indonesian, but can't speak it well. Needless to say, she likes anime & manga :D I went to sleep again after she called, setting the alarm to 1.45 pm. But I was forced to be awake by this stupid gastro-intestinal reflux -_- God, I hate this disease!! O_O I was really afraid, cause I couldn't move at all. My stomach was burning and it felt as if stabbed by knives everywhere. I realized that I had to take Zantac, the medicine as soon as possible. Therefore, I forced myself to get up and go outside to take some water & the zantac. I was almost sure that I would collapsed anytime... or even went unconscious -_- It was beyond my imagination, how the pain quickly increased, as if the whole stomach would explode. I was really afraid that there might have been an inflammation of the intestines. However, I was able to consume the medicine & lay down on my back.. and prayed. The pain slowly ceased, thankfully... and I fell asleep again.. until Nerrie called asking my apartment number. So I woke up... I noticed the pain had disappearead, and got prepared to greet her.

We decided to watch anime, and she picked Marmalade Boy. Since I've watched eps. 1-8, I didn't really stay with her. I cooked, ate, took a bath, etc. Then I joined her for eps. 9-12 and MB movie (I've watched this, but I didn't mind watching it again). Around 8 pm, Arlene (my roommate) & her boyfriend asked as to go have dinner at Outbacks Steakhouse.. so we went out. I was so full I could hardly walk -_- And yes, I've been naughty again *grins* I drank another cocktail.. this time a frozen one (peach, vodka, etc.. don't really remember). It was good, but not as strong as yesterday. Arlene got her face & body all red ^^; She had blush wine (white zinfandel). When we got home, we resumed watching MB (eps. 13-16). Afterwards Nerrie went home. It was around 1.15 am. I then read the whole manga (vol.1-8) with the help of translations, of course ^^; I kind of skimmed some parts, but I have to admit... it's a good anime *_* Everything is wonderful; from the storyline, characterization, plot, etc.
</flashback>

And now I'm going to watch the next volume of Yawara! ^^

7:04:00 AM
Originally I have two classes on Friday. The 1st one was cancelled yesterday, and it was all gloomy outside, so I decided to skip the 2nd one... and go back to sleep ^^;; Arlene (my roommate) went to swim.. I was about to come but it was cold outside & I got lazy, so I skipped ^^; Conclusion: I was being totally lazy yesterday ^^;; After Arlene and the other 2 people came home from swimming, we went out to Damon's for dinner and I had a Tropical Kiss drink (strawberry, etc with rum on it.. yum =9). Then, I spent the entire night watching The Usual Suspects with Arlene, continued with Yawara! (eps.1-8) by myself. It's pretty good & interesting ^^

-_- My dear gastro-intestinal reflux has come back again -_- I really dread this stomach ache ._. It's annoyingggg >_< And the worst of all: I can't eat chili at all! *sobs*
I'm going to sleep... ja!

4:31:00 AM
Yoshe has open her new collective without telling me :_: Umm ^^; Congratulations, Yoshe! ^^ I haven't seen you online much lately *sniffs* I hope I can see you this weekend.. I want to talk to you.

As always... making a layout is very hard *_* Arghhh... when can I have a layout done quickly (i.e. very few hours) ? ._.
Let's see... I have to make a lot of layouts: for gbook (both the main page & the gbook page), for the music page, for gallery page, for the main collective, for the blog,... -_- I'm very uninspired -_-;;

Ne, Pattie, you're so quick! *_* How long did you finish your new blog's layout? That's a nice simple one, indeed ^^
Look at the FAQ of phpwebhosting. It's mentioned there. I've pasted it below...

Q. You say that diskspace and transfer are unmetered, but is there any limit to the amount I can use?

A. Though we do not have any pre-set limits, you will not be allowed to consistently use more then a couple of hundred MB of diskspace and/or over two GB of bandwidth/month. If you use more than this only occasionally, then that is fine. The main point of our "un-metered" policy is to allow us to have a friendly service where you do not need to always be worried about incurring extra fees by going over pre-set limits.

See? O_O I know it sounds like a dream come true.. I was about to register for it myself, when Mary told me (Alexa told her) :_:

*sighs* My next layout is going to be totally plain >_< I just don't have any inspiration at all *tears hair in frustration*
Anyhow, I'm sleeepy ~_~ *yawns* I'd better sleep now and do the homework tomorrow =P I'm just plain lazy...

2:48:00 AM
*has just done watching Hana Yori Dango eps. 21-28*
I'm in love with HYD =D The poll at Emi-chan's Hana Yori Dango page shows that 70% of 3647 people who voted chose Tsukasa Doumyouji as their favorite member of F4. 21% of them chose Rui Hanazawa, 4% chose Soujiro Nishikado, and only 1% chose Akira Mimasaka. 4% couldn't decide. I chose Rui Hanazawa ^^ If I were able to vote again, I would choose Tsukasa Doumyouji as my second choice. Why Rui? Because he's very gentle, and more quiet. Tsukasa stands up more than Rui, and he's more rough, even when dealing with girls. Even to the girl he loves, Tsukushi. They argue a lot >_< But being an expressive & aggresive guy, he's able to express his love openly and affectionately. That's one thing I like about him. But why am I over-analyzing fictional characters? -_-;;;

Kate :_: Are you going to eat me by covering me in apple sauce? :_: Yum, apple sauce =9 I love apple, especially apple juice. My blog's URL is not right, Kate *shakes head* I thought you've memorized my blog already? ^^;;

*is in shock* O_O;;
You slept for how long, Pattie? *blinks in disbelief* 21 hours STRAIGHT? Oh my God *_* That's almost a whole day & night! The longest I slept is only 15 hours straight, and I thought that was embarrassingly long enough >_<
You got your guestbook hacked? O_O That's so... annoyingly evil of one to have done so! I feel the same as you too.. guestbook entries mean a lot to me. I'd be really mad if that ever happened to me... (please don't -_-)
Well, to be perfectly honest, Pattie, phpwebhosting only offers you 2 gb of bandwidth per month, which is not enough at all. Yes they might say "unlimited bandwidth", but read through the FAQ and terms & condition. I would've transferred to them if Mary & Alexa didn't tell me -_-

Today's weather is very nice *hums* It's raining a bit outside, but still nice.. I hope tomorrow's going to be nice, too. Two of my professors are cancelling their classes tomorrow & Friday, I wonder why. Gah *kicks herself* I should feel happy, not asking why they did that instead =P
I've gotten the ticket to Indonesia :D Departs on Dec 15 via JFK (New York) by Singapore Airlines (SQ). People have asked me, "Aren't you afraid after what happened...?" Well, I believe it's destiny. If I had to die tomorrow (or even tonight), I would easily die, no matter how.
I also can't wait to go to LA.. I'm bored living in this little town -_- I've become more anti-social, too, day by day. Ah, no time to think about that, I'm going back to the living room to watch eps. 29-32 of HYD now *runs* Ja ne ~

5:10:00 AM
My head is pounding *_* The reason being? Umm.. *blushes* I watched Hana Yori Dango for 10 hours ^^;; Yes, 10 hours, from 6 pm until 4 am (eps. 1 - 20) O_O;; I did my Japanese homework & eat in between. All in all, I love the storyline... the art is a bit mediocre, but the plot is wonderful... almost as good as Karekano. I got hooked after seeing the 1st episode.. and wanted to know the rest of the story. The total is 51 eps, I have the video up until eps. 32, so I have to wait for the rest to come out. I'm ordering vol.9 (eps. 33-36) right now.. can't wait to see the rest.. please finish subtitling soon, Sachi *begs*

I'm going to sleep now... my head hurts so bad >_< Oh yes, for all of you who's wondering of what has happened to six.nu, Felicia is transferring host right now. So don't worry and be patient... hopefully her site is gonna be up again by tomorrow. There, it explains the confusion.

11:44:00 AM
Well, what do you know... I really went to bed at 12 am last night! Surprised? ^_~ But I woke up at 11 am *laughs* I'm so lazy ^^;;
I have a homework due at 2.30 pm and I haven't done it yet o_O Must.... do it... now

10:43:00 PM
Alexa, did you sleep well last night? ^_~ Let's do it again tomorrow! *laughs*
Sara, that's a nice layout indeed :O Just one thing, though.. my name was mispelled ^^; It's supposed to be Lisette. Ashley's name was also mispelled.
Um, Fel, what happened to your site? Did you transfer hosting?

Eternal hosting.. scroll down until you see A+ Eternal. What do you think? Too good to be true? Maybe ^_- It's better than phpwebhosting, in my opinion. And you get an SMTP server, too! Isn't that nice.. ^_^x If you have American Express, it's better to use it for the payment. If the hosting happens to close down after 1 or 2 years, you can claim your money back through Amex. That's why I love Amex, every transaction is automatically insured.

Hoeee? I had no idea Flipper blogged at Umi-chan's weblog ^^; Just found it out... waii, now I can peek Flipper's daily activity :D
Ah yes, my Ribon came today *is happy* Mmm, 3 pages of art that Alexa can abuse XD
I'm sleeping now *hears people's gasp from everywhere* Yeah, I know... I'm very early ^^;; We'll see if I really go to bed ^_~

5:54:00 AM
Ah, caviar is good =9
I ate a lot today.. and I mean a LOT :D Two plates of rice with cooked sliced turkey in chili sauce and Indonesian fried chicken (not like Kentucky FC or your regular fried chicken, this is totally different), two big bowls of enoki (Japanese mushroom) soup, and some snacks XD I'm full =P

Pattie, you blog too much XD It seems like there's one post every approximately 10 minutes *is having difficulty catching up* ^^; And your sleeping pattern is almost the same as mine, except that I'm worse than you *laughs* Yesterday, I slept at 1 pm and woke up at 8 pm ^^;;; I'm so bad *nods* Oh, sorry about being in N/A almost all the time. I seem to be picking up Vern's habit of leaving the ICQ in N/A while I'm actually in front of it ^^; Knowing that, you can message me anytime now, maybe I'm actually there.

Ne, Margot (I suppose you don't read this, but I'll just try), you can buy a single issue of ASUKA in Sasugabooks. I don't know whether they have it in stock or not, but when I last checked, they offer single issues of those phonebook magazines.

Oh yes, I'm going to LA for sure this Thanksgiving! I talked to my mom about it (we talked on the phone for 2 hours ^^ I haven't talked to her much in the last 3 weeks since she went on a pilgrimage tour to Europe with my second mother --which is my mom's bestfriend-- and her husband) and she advised me to go to LA instead of NY. My purpose of going to a big city is to fix my Samsonite travel bag (the handle is broken and I need to bring that bag to Indonesia this Christmas) and at the same time, having fun & enjoying the short holiday. Living in such a small town and far from everywhere, it's obviously hard to find a Samsonite store near here. And plus, I can't go to Pittsburgh or Washington DC because I don't have any close friends there and therefore I don't want to spend the holiday by myself -_- I also don't feel like sleeping by myself in a hotel O_O And go to the shopping malls by myself >_< And do things by myself, to sum it all up.

So I'm left with only two choices: LA or NY. My ex-boyfriend called on Saturday and he said "You'll only go with Arlene (note: Arlene is my roommate)? And for only 2 nights? Isn't that too much hassle and not worth it?" I've been thinking since then and I agree with what he said. When I told Arlene about that, she also agreed with his comment, so I began to doubt NY is a good choice. Moreover, the hotel's rates are over $200 per night on Thanksgiving, so I don't think it's worthy. Besides, I'm going to be tired since the journey takes around 7 hours one way (by bus). So we're gonna waste our time on the bus. And not having enough time in NY. Moreover, we're only 2 girls by ourselves, no guys. Not that I'm afraid, I just don't feel very comfortable with going to NY without a car in such a short time with only the two of us.

Now, the ticket to LA is around $1000 right now (cause it's only 2 weeks in advance), which is absolutely not worth it either. Then I realized that I could use my US Airways mileage, so I called US Airways to check for availability.. and yes there was a seat available using the mileage :D If there wasn't anything available, I wouldn't go anywhere, I suppose. I would just stay here for Thanksgiving. And see if my friends, who will be here, want to go somewhere (for example: King of Prussia).
I'm going to skip Monday's and Tuesday's classes (thank God I don't have that one important class on Monday O_O It's going to be hard for me to skip that MIS class on Monday, but the professor will be out of town so I'm saved). I will depart on Saturday the 18th and go back on Friday the 24th. I have a week to have fun ^^ And I basically won't spend any money on the transportation and accommodation: free airline ticket and stay at my bestfriend's house who obviously has a car :D And I'll also be able to fix this travel bag for sure, cause LA has everything ^^

Mmmh, I think I rambled too much on that thought *laughs* Alright, time to go... I need to fix my sleeping pattern really bad! And I want to talk with my bestfriend now... Ja ne ~

8:05:00 AM
Time to search for a job: monster.com is the best!

Are you really, Serena? :D I feel special now XD Anyhow, since we haven't met before, a little introduction might be best ^^; Elyse, here... nice to meet you, Serena!

Mmmm... =9
Ah yes, imako.com is very nice, I love his choice of links. It's in Spanish though, but a translator is always handy, ne? ^^

I'm looking for a decent webhosting, hopefully ispcheck will save me a lot of time & trouble.
My caviar arrived today (er, yesterday ^^;;). Yes I haven't slept yet although it's 7.30 am already >_< Anyhow, it tastes so good =9 I also ordered French blini, just wanting to try it with the caviar.

My activity today (yesterday ^^;): went to bed at 8.30 am, my ex-boyfriend called around 3 pm, talked for 1 hour then woke up for a while... But I fell asleep again ^^;; And finally woke up at 6 pm =P I'm officially a vampire now XD At 9 pm, I, my roomie, her boyfriend and his brother went to a friend's gathering party (not really a party, just to celebrate his having a new house). As always, the girls talked about things (there were only 4 of us) while the guys (there were 10) played Playstation 2 -_- And we girls had to wait for the guys until 4 am to be able to go home ~_~ I was sleepy, but I'm not sleepy anymore right now o_O I called my friend (from high school) Linge in England for 45 minutes. She's one of my high school friends who I always keep in contact until now. I have a story about Linge & I. We share the same "experience", you could say that. Linge was the first girlfriend of my first boyfriend (of 9 days >_<). So a year after he broke up with Linge (they went out for 1 month only, poor him ^^;), he went out with me. I was his second girlfriend. Yeah, what a coincidence ^^;;; I'm still good friends with Linge. I'm also good friends with my first boyfriend. I don't know about Linge & him. Probably they never contact each other anymore. I & Linge hardly talk about him, I don't know why... we just don't feel like talking about that, I suppose.

I think I'd better sleep now... getting very very late -_- Not a good cycle at all. Oyasumi!

4:56:00 AM
From mp3cities:

Napster is continuing it's legal battle in court and a decesion should be rendered in the next few months! However the RIAA has something brewing, they are developing an ecoding to encode a Tracking code into the mp3s they plan to sell online which will track the downloads and can disable the mp3 if pirated! In order for the RIAA to suceed selling music online they will have to eliminate The famous Napster! So all you napster fans out there, "Napster won't be FREE for much longer".

Napster will either get shut down or charge users a monthly fee! Kind of sucks but oh well you can always download mp3s from mp3 websites like: emp3finder and mp3board.
They are the 2 top MP3 search engines where you can search online for FREE MP3s!

I'd better download everything I want to download before napster will be unavailable.
*stretches* Uhh, my body hurts -_- This MP3 uploads take forever -_- Curse this 56k modem, I want a cable or DSL *whines*

12:49:00 AM
*stretches*
I'm so tired.. talking with Alexa for 5 and a half hours and with Yoshe for 7 hours *laughs* We're really bored and have nothing else to do XD
The Japanese culture presentation went good, I showed the class the 1st CCS movie (only for 2 minutes though ^^;) and the artbooks. There's a group who talked about sushi and he had some for us to try. I didn't try though.. cause I know where to buy it and it tastes so-so ^^;

I'm uploading MP3s now.. it'll be ready on Sunday *nods* Hopefully ^^;
It takes forever to upload -_-

*is excited*
I'm about to have a hostee (my first one ^^) and a sister site *dances* Yayyy :D My first sister, too *hugs* ^_~
I'm going to rest now.. I'm so tired and my legs ache >_<

5:53:00 AM
I decided to read Serena's blog and I found it highly addictive XD She's very funny and her little conversations are interesting. Mary, tell her I love her blog, it's really fun to read :D *continues reading*
*tilts head* Mm, shouldn't I go to sleep? Maybe I should ^^;; Oyasumi!

*nihongo no shukudai wo shimasu*
Does anyone notice that I often edit the blog? I sometimes edit a word or two, or some sentences, or some links ^^ The reason being? Well I'm a bit perfectionist, I guess *laughs*
I've been having daily conversations with Felicia on the last couple of days... that I begin to feel something is missing if I don't talk to her ^^;

Alright, I've decided... moi.nu is not for me *shakes head* I should've asked first, being in French and all that. Well, I asked Lanma yesterday and he told me that 'nu' means naked -_- Yes, how perfect.. moi.nu = me.naked -_-;;;; That makes a good porn domain, doesn't it? ^^; I was going to transfer moi.nu to phpwebhosting, but I changed my mind after he told me. I'm going to give it to Bayu... he's a guy so it suits him better *laughs* No, no, I don't mean it in a perverse way ^^;;

Hey, Kate, my blog's URL is easy to memorize, right? :D I've been here on ICQ but I didn't see you at all today nor yesterday. I hope I don't get a heart attack anytime soon.... I check your blog everyday, Kate, and each time I checked, you've posted yet another ten-page-full of entries! Gosh, how did you find the time? ^^;;

I'm going to have a Japanese culture presentation tomorrow. Guess what I'm gonna present! XD Yes, of course, the infamous anime & manga in general, with Card Captor Sakura as a detailed example. I'm bringing my CCS artbooks, manga & video ^^ Err, it's only a 10-minute presentation though ^^;; I might not have enough time, but it's better to over-prepared than under-prepared, right?

Wahhh, you changed your blog already, Mary! XD Hey, it comes out very nice =O I'm sure Serena will forgive you for using that image *laughs* I'm glad your drop box has finally worked. I'm anxiously waiting for your SD page to be completed ^^ Nya, where did you download the Inuyasha anime episode? Me wants! :D

*whines*
I don't want to sleep, but I have to wake up early :_:
Ah, I don't care.. I'm going to enjoy my time online, especially right now with my dear blog *hugs it*
I took a bath in the middle of the night, all because there was a notice from my apartment management that we won't have water from 8 am tomorrow until late afternoon -_- Can you believe that.. I need to brush my teeth, take a shower, drink, wash dishes -_-
I finally bought myself some caviar, Sevruga & Osetra =9 There's a special price if I order it by Nov 4th, so I ordered. Can't wait for it to come.. it will come on Saturday (must be sent overnight, cause it's perishable).

Alexa, gomen nasai *bows* I really have this bad habit (I'm sure you know by now already & Mary knows it, too ^^;) of leaving my ICQ or AIM online without me being in front of the computer ^^;; By now you've recognized a lot of my habits already, ne? Namely, using present tense for all past & past perfect tenses, procrastinating, misunderstanding some phrases ("mind in the gutter" *lol*), not being able to wake up early cause I sleep very late ^^;;

Mary, yes sometimes I blog like that if I have short random thoughts in mind =P It's sort of confusing, I know, but you get to see how random my mind is, ne? XD
*double-clicks her ICQ and signs on to AIM* Waiiii XD
*huggles her* Oh finally I get to talk to you in AIM :D

I'll write more later.. am talking to Mary right now ^_~

5:20:00 AM
Picking up at where I left before (yes, 5 hours later --> after having a bunch of phone calls, supper, chats)....

Happy 83rd birthday to my dear grandmother =)

Ne, Kate, do you have Love Hina fansubs? If you do, me wants me wants XD

Morinaga chocolate is yummy, especially this Koeda chocolate (vanilla & crispy twigs of chocolate) *munch munch*

I think I eat too much O_O My stomach is acting funny >_<

Despite what you said, Fel, you're not that shy... maybe because we've talked quite frequently lately. But above all, you're such a sweet girl =) I love talking to you ^^

Mary, those are silly but funny names to describe the guys in your school XD

I've just finished writing the FAQ section for my site. It's up now...

I'm going to sleep *yawns* So much effort for my goal.. I only fulfilled it once, how very undetermined of me -_-

11:42:00 PM
I'm in my random thoughts again, so here goes:

Happy birthday, Diana =)

Mary, where are you? *in sing-a-song tone* How's the drop box going? I still can't figure it out though >_< Gomen ^^;

Prada site has said "Opening Soon" for a year already (perhaps more) O_O

I worry about job hunting. I have to find a job asap, as late as next semester. But I really worry since I don't like interviews *_*

I've been downloading MP3s from napster like crazy.. I can't think of more songs to download ^^;; Any suggestions?

I'm cold *shivers*....... *walks out and turns the heater on*

This, this, this, this, this, this, and this make me afraid to fly on Singapore Airlines again -_- And I'm going home this December... Flight 6 was the plane I flew on my way back to the USA from Indonesia last summer *shivers*

To be honest, Kate, I rarely read English children (or young adults) novels. So I don't know anything about Christopher Pike ^^; The only English novels that I read most of the time was detective, romance and historical romance novels, especially during high school.

I feel so bad for Brian.... :_:

I got the infamous December's ASUKA yesterday. Mmm..... no comment.

I'm so unmotivated & lazy... I don't feel like doing anything... mmmhh -_- Looks like we're in the same situation, ne, Margot ^^;

Kate, you blogged too much XD

*reads Garasu no Kamen's translation*

be right back... Mom is calling...
