Kokeshi Doll: Seen Through Wide Screen

Mood damper...

2011-10-30T21:39:00.001-05:00

It really sucks when you're having a good time and then you become worried and then WHAM someone just stomps on your mood...

Sorry I couldn't understand your English on the get-go.

Ah well, I can't complain. Everyone has their miscommunication issues. Now I know how it feels from the other side. Ah...yappari Americajin to tsukiatta hou ga iina. Sono fuuni, amari wakaranai koto ga naikara. Ma, daremo tsukiatteruto relationship no koto wa muzukashii~!

I never learn!!!

Analysis: Love

2011-10-27T07:37:00.002-05:00

I don't think this concept of "Love" really is for me. I've written stuff like this in the past, like "ahhh I don't believe in Love" etc etc emo angst emo angst...but this was when my relationship with my first love had come to an end. Hm...that was probably like...two years ago. Since then it's been rebound after rebound. But the thing is I didn't feel like they were "rebounds" at the time. Well...even now. But everyone keeps pointing out that they were. Maybe they're right? I have been jumping into relationships after another...Loneliness scares me.

Well no, being alone isn't quite so bad...but I get bored really fast.

Actually...in this point...I feel like someone has caught my eye. But...maybe I'm just psyching myself out for another so called "rebound." Except with this one...I feel like I can find myself get bored really easily. Chasing after someone isn't a bad thing, but when they don't chase you back and you just keep running...it becomes meaningless. Boring.

Maybe I am just DOUBTING or overthinking this concept of "love"...I guess the way I see it, I want to be seen as someone "special" just like anyone else. Being able to check my phone and be in a state of bliss when that person leaves me a message (either through voicemail or text), replaying that voicemail, re-reading that text...finding out that that person is doing the same, that person finding ways to make me happy...to cheer me up even though I'm not sad but just to say that there is someone that cares. あ．．．それは元彼のCharm Pointだったな．．．I feel like I do have someone like that in my life...actually, I do. It's just not the amount I was looking forward to. This isn't something to complain about, because the little things add up...

I don't know...the whole "the right one for you" and that whole "fate" deal just ends up sounding like a fairy tale to me...just like religion (no offense, personal opinion). I truly do hope that it ends up not being a fairy tale. Either that, or I truly hope someone has better luck than me and isn't afraid. Re-reading this...maybe I'm just scared of commitment and have trust issues?

My self esteem has really gone down...how pathetic.

Miscommunication

2011-10-24T02:47:00.001-05:00

...I didn't have a plastic cup for a telephone line...so...I used a different kind of plastic cup. Meh. Improvise!

To Do...

2011-10-23T10:10:00.000-05:00

I can tell you one thing...AT LEAST 3 of these things will be checked off...and that's not going to be the last one. ( ^^;;)

Went to sleep early last night and I kept having the most surrealist dreams (well, it's a dream. duh.) and last nights...I felt like I was spinning. Most of these dreams have been very much like a carnival. Kind of a fun pun on life. Now...I kind of wish to go back to sleep...Zzz...It's more fun to dream...you can fly!

Well...gotta saddle up. Lots to do today. Have to keep my mind busy. Stop thinking. Stop being needy towards people. Especially to him. I'm feeling pretty explosive today...like I want to get punched. But of course I'm too much of a pussy to get in an actual fight :P

I wonder...what will the following days bring?

I know I'm not so strong and I have been bitching too much, but...I can't help but hope for the best. Especially since I will be moving out. Strike that. I think it will go up and down. But when I move out...
たぶんもっともっと寂しいくなる。私にだれもいない。それ考える時．．．“違うよ!”と思う。“ほら、いい家族と友達がいるからそれでいいじゃない？” 。何か自身がなくなった。．．．今だけどね。まった元気になる。I'll be fine!!!

But until then...I need to go to work! ( >< ;;)

Best thing to do...

2011-10-23T01:12:00.001-05:00

When you're depressed, distressed, or just plain stressed...

grab your favorite book, play some music, get cozy, and just sleep it off!

Funke's Vist to UTSA...and stuff!

2011-10-22T06:35:00.000-05:00

My exam day...lo and behold, who comes and cheers me up and cheers me on?

...Why, that would be my dear friend Funke! ♫

At first, truth be told, I wasn't really looking forward to his visit because I would be really busy studying...and I felt bad for him...but...I'm actually really thankful he came! ^^~! I had someone to eat lunch with ♥! //forever alone.

See maw, I DO study!

Before he left...I lent him my camera, just so he can explore a bit and go crazy on taking pictures...and probably pictures of pretty girls...etc....well, I was right on the girls part...=_=;;;
Needless to say...I passed the test with all my cramming~! Hurrah hurrah! Well...a B will suffice, but...I don't want to know how I did for my Physical Anthropology class...gah...well...I HOPE I at least passed...

Now...

Onto Funke's adventures!

*(oooh~ I like her shirt/blouse! ~miss kokeshi)

*(uhm...Funke...you weren't in trouble...were you...?)

*~~~*~~~*~~~*
Well...That was Thursday...today is Friday...er....Saturday Morning! Meaning tonight...
I will be doing homework...Yeah, not going out. (=_=)
Well...maybe?
*~~~*~~~*~~~*

Friday nights = Bubblehead nights!
*(since they stay open til 2 am, and somtimes they even have open mic/art/poetry slam sessions)

"I like taking pictures of my feet. They show me where I've gone."
-A card from Post Secret

YAY...Judy DIDN'T stand me up this time...good thing too. Jerk!

closer...

TOO CLOSE!!!

End of the night...ended up watching Sweeney Todd...ah...now those songs wont get out of my head...

Try Perelli's Miracle Elixir, it will do the trick sir! True sir, true~♫

See? That song will be in my head...for months...Or well...maybe this time it wont be that severe? I don't know...but ah...these days I feel like I've been truly simple minded. Hah, actually I think I HAVE become more and more of an airhead. Granted, that I was one in the beginning...just got a bit more...stupid? Yes.

Enough of this babble. Sleep is in due order. But...I feel I can't sleep. Because there isn't a person to greet me "Good Morning" or "Good Night" like there used to...haaaaaaaaah stupid excuse. But those days were nice...I didn't realize how important texts were until I met this new person in my life. The old days with that past person, are disappearing. The old days full of texts and picture mail...are gone.

Alas...it can't be helped. The past is the past. The present may not be as glamorous as it once was in the past, but the future has many hopes! So...I guess I have to be optimistic on this one? Don't be so spoiled!

Waking up from the dead...!

2011-10-18T21:40:00.000-05:00

Sooo...wow I haven't done this in a while! Yay~~~ A blog filled with pictures~~~! ...again, but this time Blogspot made it easier. FINALLY. So...I guess expect more updates? Hah...not likely....but I dunno...I'll try? Blogger recently caught my eye again...ohhh dear...now I have 3 blogs....Tumblr, LJ (angsty blog), and now Blogger...

Hm...well Tumblr is more for humor and LJ is well...as said above...this blog will be more of a process blog.

Now...Lets begin, shall we?

3D design was tedious today...as always...I hope these plastic models come out alright @_____@

Shit...I was so tired today that I just rode the shuttle instead of walking...besides, it was a bit too windy anyways. Lil'Ol' me would've flown awaaaaaaaaaaaay~! Heh.

It's kind of funny seeing all the people waiting for the shuttle...and me with my huge ass art bag walking in between the aisles...and hitting people....my bad!

BOOK SALE @ UTSA!!!

I really liked how they used colorful book cases...I want some bright bookcases now...♥

Hm...every Uni that I've been to (yes, yes...I transferred again...) has always had a Chic-Fil-A...well...except for St. Edwards. Damn hippies!

Gah...Drawing II...I kind of dislike this class, but this time...I actually like it. Color wasn't THAT bad for me compared to scale and proportions...and the color pencil bit was fun~~~♫!

Just chillin' before Physical Anthro....which was a HORRIBLE idea...I didn't realize we had HW
FUCK! (\( O____O ;;;;(\ )
But...thankfully I ran with all my might...printed the work sheets...and...well...had help from my peers.

Psh...look at that tool (my friend Nao...the one in the white hoodie)

Gah...so after panicking a bit during Phys.Anthropology...I panicked again in Survey of Modern Art. I normally don't bitch so much about teachers...I mean they are doing their jobs ~~tormenting~~ teaching their students...well, usually they are reasonable. The last teacher I disliked at UIW...I guess she was trying to get me to suit up and work harder...but of course I grew more and more apathetic towards Graphic Design...It just...really lost it's flame with me...Sad, but true. Although she was a bitch, she got me to design a bit cleaner...and some advice on my career path...so...I can't be too harsh with her...not like the one I am about to rant on now..........seriously WTF?!

1.) Art History teacher...still working on her degree. Well her masters, good luck to her.
2.) From Mexico, has a thick accent...her lectures go REALLY fast...and her vocabulary isn't THAT broad...she tends to ask questions about using a word correctly from time to time...well gotta give her credit for trying. A 2nd language is hard to learn, and teaching in it...? Daaaamn. Go her!
3.) Her Test: 1st one was easy, good study guide.
4.) Her Test: 2nd one...Thursday....no study guide. WTF?
5.) 2nd Test: Identify 10 artworks. She will not give a list for ANYTHING. She wont give us a list to study within...she wont give us multiple choices on them...WTF?!
6.) All my past Art History teachers have given me a 30-50 slide list, and would test us on at least 10 of them...sure that was hard...but at least they GAVE us an idea and was trying to AIDE us...WTF is UP with this woman?! We can't understand her, her lectures suck (they always get side tracked), and well...WTF?!

LADY GIVE US A BREAK HERE!!!

Bah...fuck that woman. She's nice...but she is retarded. There was a girl who was close to tears when the teacher was explaining how she wouldn't help us on the test...Well that girl seemed like an overachiever...but a really hard working student...so...I don't blame her for panicking so much to the point of tears. At the moment...I'm just pissed. Utterly shocked really. But fuck it...here comes another all nighter...gotta study rather than blogging and ranting on this nonsense....hm...too late :P!

By the time my school day ends, the sun begins to set...

Wow...

2011-04-27T03:58:00.002-05:00

I have too many blogs...but...I am sad that this one is pretty neglected. But I realize...I really am all over the internet...mostly Facebook.

Facebook...Twitter...Myspace (haven't deleted it, same with Gaia)
There's this blog...
http://kokeshi-doll.tumblr.com/

http://monochrome-koi.livejournal.com/ <---for all my angst angst angst!!! lol

and now...

...I just need to fix that one up. This Summer. Hopefully. Yes? I hope so.

Party (jeremy)

2009-12-18T18:08:00.002-06:00

Went to a graduation party last night...going to go to another one tonight...maybe. Oh....so David was wrong......Leah doesn't have a thing for me....in fact she only talked to me because I work at the art store....she wanted discounts.........bitch. I have to avoid her tonight....or else she will try again........stupid David....I always knew. Oh but he did mention something about Sarah....Sarah is cute...she always smiled at me during cal...her smile is really cute...but I never thought there may be something in between us...maybe something will happen tonight....maybe she will be the one...? ........maybe....I hope so.....someday....?

Oh...David is calling now...hes probably picking up his girlfriend...how does a guy like that have someone? Even J found someone...he said she was perfect...soulmate? Lucky J...

graduation (jeremy)

2009-12-17T17:38:00.003-06:00

I graduated. Weird. Now I can work full time at Art'z....there goes my summer...but then again...J isnt going to be in town anyways...hes going to summer school...damn...well...graduation was fun atleast? ...Cindy took no notice of me. Before graduation I finally fessed up...and then she ignored me. :( ....well...that just means we weren't meant to be.... That just means I'll meet someone better...yeah...someday..............................................................someday soon I hope...yeah?
Actually...David said that Leah may have a thing for me...Leah is cute...maybe there'll be something in between us...?

Chapter 1: Roommate...great... (jon)

2009-12-17T16:17:00.005-06:00

So Jere graduated yesterday. Goddamn I feel so old, even though we're just a year apart. After graduation we went to the spot ate some kid meals for old time's sake. They had those Avatar toys, I got the damn horse-thing while he got the main guy. Lucky bastard.

Anyways, that's not the real reason why I'm writing. I'm just killing time. Right now...I'm in my dorm waiting for my anonymous new roommate to arrive. He's already 10 minutes late...probably another fucking slacker who's going to ask me for help in his classes and gets wasted at parties without even inviting me. Ugh...I hate those kind of types...but hey, it's my choice in living in the dorms.

I moved in early, about 2 weeks early I believe? I wanted to get out of the house asap (no offense to ma and dad). That's probably the REAL reason why I joined the honor's program here. Not for the "educational pride and joy" but the advantages it has. Don't get the wrong idea, I mean I love my parents dearly...it's just I wanted to get OUT. The smell of incense was just getting nauseating. Ma means well, and is practicing her spiritual beliefs but DAMN at least let us get an air purifier! But noooooooo, Dad is too cheap to buy one.

Ah well, I think the "roomie" is here.

So.....please check it out!!!

btw...I had an AWESOME 21st Birthday! Thanks to Michael, my friends, and my family.

Thank you everyone! So much! I did not expect such great presents ♥♥♥!

Trekkie pounces!

2009-07-16T23:28:00.001-05:00

I forgot about this little wonder :D

Basically...Trekkie pounced on Judy when he was taking a nap.

Hilarity ensues!

....sorry about my retarded laughter in the background.

Wow

2009-07-16T23:03:00.003-05:00

Wow....I've been slacking and neglecting this poor bloggy...my bad!

Well, nothing has happened really...except:

(not in order)

1.) I got accepted to UIW's CG program

2.) I went to the coast w/ Trekkie and Judy to meet up with Jenny

3.) I dropped chemistry and is not taking a summer program

4.) Fr. Gus past away...R.I.P.

5.) Judy moved into Yu-chan's place

6.) Usual apathy...I need a muse. I'm such a disenchanted princess :\

7.) My biting finger tip habit has gotten worse so it seems...

8.) I had an allergic reaction from an Ant bite....omg, I freaked out.

9.) I saw Wicked w/ the b/f figure person ♥ :P

10.) I consider myself as an official Graphic Design student now that I've cut my fingers with an X-acto....I was rushing for my portfolio...at least it got accepted right? :D!

11.) I'm starting on comics of lyrics :D

12.) Still working.

I'll continue to update and what not. I'm still tweaking this blog's template. How do you like?

The BGM is Blonde Redhead. They have a lot of soothing and emotional beats...

while the bg image is something I did for my DADA poster.

Lack of updates~...

2009-06-06T14:20:00.004-05:00

Hmm....yah. Busy. Kind of. Or well, I just don't feel like being jolly atm :P

But there IS a new song in my head:

I love the video, and the song...just reminds me of a "certain" someone ♥ and the issues he's had to face with me...sorry :\

Lyric exert:

♫ Instead of carving up the wall,

Why don't you open up, we talk?
I am ready, I am ready for a fall.

Instead of carving up the wall,
Why don you open up, we talk?
We are ready, we are ready for a fall.

I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
I'm hoping with chance, you might take this dance.

I can't hear your voice, do I have a choice?
(You're sinking below, I'm using my force)
I'm hoping with chance, you might take this dance.
You're my #1 guy" ♪

Lack in updates

2009-05-16T12:37:00.002-05:00

Yah...sorry, I lied. I didn't update the next day...or the day after that...or the day after that....etc.
Well, I'm updating now! :D?

I haven't been working on my projects of this summer...but I'm am still committed on jogging every Monday (so far...which was once! XD) Right now...I just need to START on the projects. START throwing things away, START writing/drawing on the story, etc.

Starting things is easy...but maintaining them sucks ass XD

My mind needs to stop straying with made-up scenarios and "what if"s. Instead of focusing on the things I need to do and start on, I've been going out. Clubbing. Shopping. Movies. Yay! Well...it is summer afterall, right?
I'm going through a new chapter in my life...too bad it's the same badly written book. My grammar is bad. A lot of Engrish :P
I'll upload more pictures soon...ish!

But at the moment:

This song has been playing in my head over and over and over and over agaiiiiiin. Ahhhh~!
But....I like it :)

Up to date...ish?

2009-05-13T02:39:00.007-05:00

Nothing REAL big...or mentionable going on in my life. If you know me and you're close to me...chances are that you know what's going on in my life.

This blog...I just show off a HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY SUNSHINE part of my life...nothing real big and angsty (that's what my LJ is for) lol.

But anyways....about my last post...
Basically: spent the whole day w/ Leslie, Sam, and Kathleen. Well...Sam joined later for din din.
Kathleen, Leslie, and I FINALLY went swimming at the pool in my apt!

synchronized swimming!lol, cute.
Ew.
Hah.
ROTFLMAO :P

Then enters....THE SAMMUEL!!!!!....@ EZ's...Mmm...Pizza ♥

Eat it!

Oh.....true bliss(love)

Fuckin' Leslie.... :\ but then again the earlier picture was....
well, it was kind of dirty...so this one is good.

The Saturday afterwards....ICE SKATING WITH KICCHAN!!!
I ♥ Ice Skating...it's a nostalgic factor.
so....there were these group crazy tweens...I'm guessing it was a birthday party? Well...they were obsessing themselves with random ppl....one was Kiwi....coughcoughlolcoughcough
Funny thing was he was trying to get one of their glasses, or have at least one of them give him theirs.

plan backfired...they started squabbling and was like "WEAR MINE! WEAR MINE!" and well...afterwards, they didn't really leave him alone....
Yes...I didn't do anything. I was very well entertained :)

It was funny...there was this one guy...who gave ONE of the girls (the older one) his #...and well, she gave them out to all her friends...and they started mass texting him. Scary.

Jebuz, I look disgusting here...でも　キッちゃんは　かわいいね？

SUNDAY of that week...

I visited Kiwi @ his work place with Vanessa, since there was a mysterious that he had wanted to give me... ♥

One month...? Already? Really? Wow. To be honest...I never would've seen us be like this.
In the beginning...I had thought he was gay...(SORRY!!!)
But...I'm thankful.
He came up to Austin

...we saw the L movie....Oh Jesus Christo, no! Keichi M. is HOT....but...the movie...sucked! I mean, yah it was funny to make fun of...but...the engrish~ lol. Oh! And don't forget the otakus and fangirls that were there. That was hilarious. Every time L did something nice, they would be all "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~"

I forgot when...but....during the week...we had our last coffee run for the semester...I'm going to miss St. Eds cause of them...along with a couple of people.
But...yah :(
Then again...it's not like I'm never going to visit!!! :D
I'll post more tomorrow...I is tired....I is going to write about the final week of St. Eds...which I only had ONE final...and it was Japanese. XD! Easy for me...mostly. Not all of it though. In the end, I just slacked off. Yes, yes...that's bad. To be frank, I was already tired of it all.

For tomorrow: Introducing pics of Edgar, Kyle, Amanda P, and BA BA BLACK SHEEP!

Incoming...

2009-04-28T12:53:00.003-05:00

Yes...I haven't updated in a while. Sorry. Projects are killing me. Procrastination. Yaaaaaaaah~ :D?

Here's a preview of my life so far :)!

時間をもっとください

2009-03-25T19:02:00.003-05:00

この　きもちわからない．．．まっ．．．わかるけど．．．本当の事からやだ。
あの人のＦＢページを見た。　彼は元気にしてるね～。それは　いいでしょ？　何か．．．羨ましい。
ん～羨ましいじゃなくって、何か　悲しい。　彼は私がいない時は　もっと　嬉しい見たいを感じる。
本当に私の事を．．．何にも　思わないのかしら？　何にも　思ってないのね？

まっ．．．その　関係は　もう　終わったから。　時間がなくなった。　きえちゃった。

たぶん、彼はもっと　嬉しいと思う。　私も　幸せにならないと。　Move on up from here. Stop looking back, and move on. でも　それは　難しいよね？いたい。　でも　そうやらないと。　がんばらないと！

最近．．．新の男と話してる。　　彼はとても優しい、　でも　ちょっと　子供っぽい。　弟見たいの感じ。　でも．．．彼といる時は　おもしろい。　今主の金曜日に会う。　会うの楽しみにしてる。　なぜかしら？　好きになっているかもしらない。　はねかえりだっけかな？　知らない。　でも　その人に　会いたい。　彼といる時は　おもしろくって　楽しいです。　何か　ふわ　ふわ　の　感じ。　：）

My life up to date-ish...in short

2009-03-24T01:44:00.013-05:00

So St. Eds has three new dorms and two brand spankin' new cafeteria underneath them.

Freshman 15 anyone?

The kids who live here are gunna gain a lot~~~~but hey, they're frikkin lucky!!! When I lived in East it took like 5 mins (depending on how slow you walk up the hill) to get to Rags! >(! And the food wasn't really that great either....saaad face. I actually do like the new cafeteria better.

Chillin' before Japanese class...wow...I really like how the table is reflective...and dusty (I drew :D!)

It's been frikkin' windy these days...Lillian's freakishly long hair was attacking everything! First it was me...then her friend Natalie :(!Tee hee...I went to their class for and drew before the teacher came :D

Recently I've been joining Kathleen and Leslie out for nights at the cafe. Either that or just roam around St. Eds campus...raping people and vandalizing.
I mean... >_>!
WE WEREN'T VANDALIZING!!! :OSwing swing...

WEEE~!!!

Right before Spring Break was let out...They played Labyrinth (feat. David Bowie) on the lawn.
OMG I forgot how great and cheezy that movie was. David Bowie was pretty sexy with his eye stabbing CROTCH of doom. Ahhhhh watching it on the big screen made it worrrrrse!!!!
(>_<)!!!

Just before Spring Break...I met up with Kelsey again!
I took her to Yogurt Planet and we also walked around at the Triangle...
Damn...those fuckin' lofts are niiiiice.....$1200 & up a month though?
Ouch.

I also saw Watchmen at the Metropolitan.
That theatre is like Austin's version of the Palladium
Both nice and fancy...$$$$$$$ :(!

Watchmen was a great movie. The visuals were stunning...but Dr. Manhattan's....uhm...blue glowing...naked body was just EVERYWHERE. And WOW! The sex scene in Archie (ship)...softcore, much??? :O! Wowweee!
But I have to admit...it was pretty funny seeing families leave because of all the violence. It's rated R, stooge. Leave your children at home. This is NOT a movie they should be seeing...says the one who saw "Shakespeare in Love" and "Titanic" in 4th or 5th grade. XD!!

Okay okay...talking about being in San Antonio now! ...I've been...clubbing at the Bonham. It's soooo flamboyant, but the music is awesome :D! The first time I went was for Kicchan's Birthday.

(hehehe~ he had a staulker...
when we went again the 2nd time
...he was there! XD)

Happy (belated) Birthday!!! Hurrah!!!

Latest club adventure Trekkie and Judy came! We met up with Juliette and Jezz...Vanessa was SUPPOSED to come...but her mother took her phone. So she says....(j/k). >_>

VANESSA WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER MY CALLS?!?!?!
I'm breaking up with you!!!!
Alas...I didn't left my camera and glasses in Austin during Spring Break...so no pictures for the recent club adventure...or for the week....ahhhhhhhhhh I heard my camera crying for me all week!
I'm sorry! ;A;!!!!

Well...during Spring Break
I've been cheating on it though...
with
MANDY'S CAMERA!
o_o
Hey...I had to, how could I have missed the opportunity in taking pictures in NYC and Philly?
I would've died.
btw, here are the albums :)
Philly, PA
NYC I
NYC II
NYC III
NYC IV
I must say, my favorite part of the trip was going to Chinatown...haggling is fun! Or atleast playing the "cute" card and being all "Mmm~I dunno~I DO liiiike it~" causing them to lower the price.
Tee hee!
Hitting up the Japanese restaurants was awesome. I truly found heaven when I went to Kinokuniya.
OMG....so expensive, but what isn't? It's in NYC for chrissake!

Avenue Q was also a spectacle to see. Hahah Puppet sex.

San Antonio...my last bit of Spring Break...was great :)
The weather was beautiful. In the 70's not that cold, warm, and sunny.
Friday: I hung out with Vanessa and Judy at Kate's Frosting before I went to work.
Afterwards, I met up with Kicchan. Introduced him to Vanessa and my favorite thing to do...
HAPPY MEAL RUN
Ohhh McDonalds, how you makes those little meals happy with a toy and sprinkle of nostalgia~!

Saturday: I saw "I Love You, Man" with Judy, Jenny, and Trekkie. OMG that movie was soooo awkward and hilarious! Some parts were even hard to watch due to how TRUE and Awkward it was.
Lol I especially liked Doug the gay guy. "It was a taste of betrayal, you fucking whore!"

This genre of Bro-mance is great.

Sunday: JapaNoodle....oh w/e, I'm going to keep calling it Japan Nite. Just because I'm "old school" like that. Birthday Suits, quaff, The Emeralds, and Peelander-Z were playing. Sorry guys, there weren't any chick bands playing. Those are the ones that make the night all cutesy.
As usual, soooo many otakus and weeaboos. All mostly from SAC or are customers of the store.
OMG omg omg seriously though, there was even a guy that had tried to pick me up at the store!
He was there! Eeeee~! I was like "oh dear, uhm....invisiblilty cloak!" I mean c'mon, I was a total jerk to him.

(Me registering him up)
Him:
Uhm....are these good? (referring to the an pan)
Me:
(stares at him dully....looks at Mari)
Mari:
Uhm, yah! They're really good actually :)
Him:
Oh....are they sweet? (looking at me)
Me:
(stares at him dully...looks at Mari)
Mari:
Ah-Uhm, yeah! They're sweet with the sweet red bean paste in the middle.
Him:
Oh.....ok.
Me:
Your total is ______, thank you very much and have a nice day.

...wha? I was tired! And Mari and I were going to change shifts soon! Ahhh but I'm going to kill Mari and Lori. After the guy left, Mari and Lori were laughing.

Lori:
"Are these sweet?....like you????

Anywaaaaays, quaff was awesome! Makito (the guitarist with crazy red hair) remembered me from the last time they came (during the fall)!!! *0*!!!! Ohhhhh happy face! He was the one who remembered me from MySpace first when I asked him for an autograph. The other bandmates didn't remember me...sad face, but hey? I don't blame them. They ARE a band that tours a lot.
I'm just glad that my sisters, their friends, and Kicchan liked them.
Personally, I like them because of their clash of Japanese folk music with rock. the Fue sounds so pretty~~~~!

All in all....my Spring Break was pretty damn good. My life is starting to brighten up again :)
Soon Summer will be here. I can't wait to move out of here! Hope it's all for the best.

ECAASU 2009

2009-03-04T16:27:00.003-06:00

Man, that was a break that I needed indeed!

ECAASU 2009 was fun :)
Although it was a bit unorganized...and there were some issues on registration (I better get my $75 back!), the whole feeling of it was fun. This year it was at Rutgers, and it seemed like they were on a bit of a tight budget...seeing as how the shirts were rather plain and there were a lot of repeats...oh well....the atmosphere was at least better than the one at Cornell.

All aboard~! Ah...but MAN, I was so scared cause Connie made it like at the VERY LAST SECOND on the flight...that girl is going to give me a heart attack!

I love airports...the structures are always somewhat unique.
Here's the windows of the Newark airport

We WERE going to take the taxi to New Brunswick...but holy hell it was $60...so we took the Air Transit....which was $12

yeah.....we were a bit tired

After the Air Transit...went on the train~!

When we got to the Train Station...we had to look for our hotel.
Good thing it was like down the street.

Rutgers in New Brunswick!....a place where there is basically NOTHING to do... -_-

We had issues with our hotel and registration....they claimed that Jarrett's card was declined and that he didn't pay for Connie. We had to call Erica....and as for registration...I paid for Connie....Rutger's ECAASU staff STILL hasn't sent me back the reciept to get reimbursed...
FUCKING SHIT! I want my $75!

After our hotel and registration was situated...we walked around thinking that there'll be some cool shops...well....no. There were none.

lol, but they had Chinese Laundry!

ECAASU begins...

Opening ceremony...+ entertainment

Danny Cho was the speaker/host...he was pretty hilarious XD!

Entertainment consisted of student dance groups...
a lot of frats and sororities did some step dancing
The South Asian troupes were awesome...I'm sorry but they were far more interesting :P
Johnny Phlo was also there, his Korean rap was intense! o_O

Afterwards....we basically chilled in the room...I even got bold as to wanting to curl my hair!
I asked Connie...and well....lets just say since my hair was in a ponytail throughout the whole day it was deformed...so she tried working with it....needless to say:
it didn't work. :(!!!!

ECAASU 2008 was organized and seemed like it had a lot more....but it seemed pretty up

-tight. Not to mention I was with two people who were in a fight between each other... X_X
Being the gopher sucks~~~~!
But this year I went with Jason and Connie, and we at least stuck together. They were awesome :)!

We even went to NYC before the Saturday workshops and mixers. Ah~~ I can't wait to go back to NYC for spring break!!! ♥♥♥

...hudson?

Empire state building!!!

OMG! Just like in the movies~~~!!!

lol...it was funny, I overheard some other tourists talking about the taxis...and what made me smile the most about their conversation was that:
They were talking about the Cash Cab XD!
I was so thinking the same~ tourists. Psh. :P

My God, this MAC model scared the bejezuz out of me! But damn he was awesome
...and gay in a sexy matter. I mean, what?

Yeah!

Although riding the trains and such are fun...the conductors can be such assholes. Everyone there is so fast paced that they get impatient so easily. We tried asking this one conductor where our train was and he just pushed us away saying go check the monitors. We checked....didn't understand...so we ask the info ppl...they told the same thing. Frustrating as hell, considering our train that we needed was departing in 3 minutes...
FINALLY, Jason asked someone USEFUL and she told us what track we needed to be on.
Now...was that so FUCKING HARD?!?
We barely (hardly) made it to our mixers...I know they didn't make it, but the mixer group I belonged was still going at it...I saw Melissa, Denise, and Kell again though :)!

I stayed in the same room for the workshop....omg, good choice on my behalf.
See the 2nd guy to the right? THAT'S PARRY SHEN!!! From Better Luck Tomorrow! Holy Shit!
They were talking about their project Secret Identities which is an anthology of comics with Asian Americans as the hero/protagonist. I got it preordered...and autographs...teehee :D

After the workshops...we went to the dinner banquet
It was organized to meet people...we were sitting with people from NYU and Syracruse College.
Then comes the closing ceremony + entertainment...couldn't take pictures but the poetry slam for the entertainment was pretty awesome in an inspirational way.

After ECAASU, I went to a Frat Party with Connie.
(btw, Jose if you're reading this: I went to the Villanova room first then to the Frat Party
That's how I met some of the ASA members! :D!)

Frat parties......are random, indeed! The location was in the Lamda frat's basement. The ratio was 4 girls 1 guy, but towards the end it was whatever. There were even times when we all had to be quiet because the cops were patrolling the neighborhood. Hahha....weird.

I had some drinks, but man am I thankful for Connie and this guy I met at the party.
Although a lot of guys were hounding for her, this guy protected me throughout the whole night :)
Tee hee~ ♥

I hope I see him again some day. If not, then well...c'est la vie.
Thank you for the great memory!

Seriously...I needed some feeling of support rather than from my family. I have friends, but they're busy and have their own drama. I don't want to talk their ears off and such. I want to help them as they have always helped me. Thank you guys! ♥♥♥♥♥

But this feeling of happiness and enjoyment didn't last so long...I mean, greatful that Leslie picked me up...but reality was waiting for me at my apt :\
But of course I did screw up and let the highschool version of me get out and write stuff out of anger (it felt good at the time!)

Luckily...support from my family and friends are in reach :)
Thank you Leslie! And special thanks to my sisters + Mandy, lol

Right now...I'm just going to go through this last week before Spring Break...I'll update more for the recent days. Hey, there's atleast pictures in this entry. BE HAPPY!

Pathetic

2009-02-18T05:27:00.002-06:00

I really can use a hug, or a shoulder to cry on.

I really can. I want it now.
I'm so selfish & spoiled.

かなしよ。　　私はかなし。　昨日、ずうと　ないていた。うるさくに　ないていた、ははは．．．でも　ねむれたよ。　　なぜ　ないていたの？
あの人が　いるから。
なぜ　ここに　いるの？　なぜかしら？　その人たちに　会いに来たから？　くそ。
この　きもち　きらい。　きらいよ。　やきもっちしって、　馬鹿でしょう？　馬鹿だよ。
ありえないよ。　なぜ　私は　こんなに　よわいなの？　馬鹿見たい。

本当に　もう　おわっているなのに。　　自分で　言っていたじゃん。　　だから　なぜ　まだ　ないているのよ？　なぜ　あの人を　まだ　つかまっているの？本当に　じゆがないし、一人ぼっちだけでしょ？
いいえ。　　まっ．．．一人ぼっちけど　何か　思うの事があるんだけ。　　まだ　かれ、　私に　まった　帰って来ると　思っているから。　本当に　馬鹿ですね。

でもね．．．私の問題何だって知てる。 I have too many expectations.

~~~
On a lighter note....

Thank you Ki-chan for the V-day present!!!
it caught me by surprise...even though it was 2 days late ^^;;

The kitty's name is 白♥
＊(shiro = white)
THANK YOU キッちゃん!!!!

for brightening my day when it was all shitty
& everything else.
:)

Valentines~

2009-02-14T15:26:00.005-06:00

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY~!

a.k.a
Hallmark's Money Making Baby Day,
or
A Consumer Whore's LOVE Day~!

or to be a bit more bitter about it:
HAPPY ANTI-VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
SINGLE'S AWARENESS DAY~!
Hurray!

:(
Today is going to suck...so many reservations at the restaurant...
And no Valentine for me....Psh, oh woe is me!
Oh wait, no no I DO have a Valentine~

Vanessa!

& Temporary Valentines
♥♥♥If you can get 5 temporary Valentine = 1 actual Valentine ♥♥♥
Maybe? :P

So far... I has
Trekkie ♥
Joselelele ♥
V-sa/Judy ♥
Ceruti ♥
Ramos ♥

Well....I don't really need 5, but at least I have them ♥♥♥

My Valentine's day was fun :)
♥♥♥

***Through-out the night V-sa and Judy were being switched around on the Valentine count...
SHE LEFT ME FIRST!!! :(
and then Judy....well, Judy is stupid. :P

I finally met up with Jessika, but no Jul :(
...drama drama drama...(and I missed it! Thanks a lot Vanessa!)
drama over a shady person from the past...
Eeee...well, can't put much on here seeing as how ANYONE can see this.
Meh, there's the Pro's & Con's of Blogger.

Sure, freedom of speech etc. I shouldn't be afraid of putting my 2 cents on here, but y'know...?
That's all b.s.

Information is a scary thing. But if you're close to me, you'll probably hear all this from me anyways. Ah~ but doesn't it suck?

I've also been having dreams. Dreams from the past warping with the present to the point where it seemed like it would happen in the future. I know it may all be known-sense. But heh, dreams are dreams y'know? It can't be helped to start wishing for some of them to come true.

What to do, what to do indeed.

Zilker Park

2009-01-22T00:26:00.016-06:00

If one day I had a wish,

I wish to see all of my friends again.
To see them smile,
to see them laugh,
to see them dance,
to see them prance!
One by one they disappear,
but never fear it's not forever!
But here's my wish,
I hope you hear...
I wish to have a picnic here!

-Miss Kokeshi

I indeed hope we have a chance to have a picnic or tea party here at Zilker Park or at the gardens...oh and especially a photo shoot! That would be awesome!
Last Saturday, I felt a bit depressed...so I cheered myself up by venturing around and taking pics :D

Location: Zilker Botanical Garden

First here is the historical part of the botanical gardens...

"Macho Fern" <--- as seen on the lower left corner! It's so "Macho" that I couldn't fit it all! :X

Originally...

Flushed out!

Now enters the Asian part...ooh! Koi Pond!!!

C'mere koi koi koi koi koi~~~~!

"Wait no! Come back!"

"Who the fuck is this girl? Leave us alone!"

There were some blind ppl there too...to enjoy the gardens...or well, at least have a good stroll?

Here comes the bamboo!

"I'mma bear!"

"Panda bear!"....although those are WHITE and black.... >_>;;

"I knew you'd understand! You always listen and keep my secrets!"

I HAS A NEW FRIEND!

We played!

We chilled!

We laughed!

Heart to Heart conversations!

.....Slept together :P

but alas...it was time to go....

Until next time, my dear friend!!!!!

Yah...thus my park adventure conclude...I will be back very soon! I'm gunna!
And this time, I'll bring someone to come with me...lol...that just sounded pretty pathetic, huh?
But anyways...
I'm sure many ppl are thinking about how I got those pics of me when I was by myself...
Or not...well, I can tell u this...I didn't ask ANYONE to take a pic for me.
Yeah, I'm pretty bad-ass with the self timer :P!
I try, I try.

But seriously, I want to do a Alice in Wonderland theme sooo bad! especially in this park!!!

~~~

Ohhhhh btw....Inaugaration day was on Tuesday...I didn't see Obama's speech live, but I just watched it now on Youtube...
I felt so "American"....especially including the fact that I was eating rice w/ shredded pork XD!
But really, I'm so glad Obama is our president....we need a change. I just hope he doesn't screw up too badly.

I especially love the fact that he mentions "non-believers" :)
It's a new age. Let's hope that we can improve!

On the other hand....I need to stop procrastinating...

My New Years Resolution:
During apathetic/procrastination times do something productive to fight it (it doesn't have to be school related...such as writing postcards, blogging, and cleaning manga raws... well....if I have your address...you'll be seeing a lot of postcards from me! :P

Another resolution I need to work on..... : Better eating habits.
MEH! I'll work on that one later!!!! XD!!

Anyways~ until next time!

hmm...

2009-01-20T02:36:00.003-06:00

I'm sure by now this blog has already been forgotten :\

I'm sorry~ I'll try and update more w/ pics and such! I have a extra space now!

~~~

Projects going on right now:
Tonality Proj.
Hands & Feet Proj.
Activity Book Design Proj.
Metonymy Poster Proj.

Side Proj:

Honey Hunt Chapt 10 (cleaning the raws and then replacing the txt)

~~~

いそがしいな～　でも　どうでもいい。
もう　ここに　あまり　友達がいない。　　だから　どうでもいいよ。　　一人ではたらきます。
はい．．．、けっこ　さびしけど．．．何にも　やれないから　いいよ。
私かれしがいない、友達がいない、かぞくは　いそがし．．．でも　だいじょうぶよ。
できるよ。　　何となく。

so sleeeepy

2009-01-03T21:23:00.005-06:00

I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but I don't think people really read this blog so it's cool.

People like pictures, I don't have any pictures atm = no readers

I really need to get myself that ext. hard drive...a terabyte!!!! :P I wish
I'd probably just settle for a 500 gb one....though a terabyte would be ridiculously awesome!

so.....2009 eh?
Well hmm....to sum up my New Years eve:

work, work, more work....fuck I missed the countdown! work...
Change --> Party!
Drink : I finished A drink! (Vodka splash cranberry juice)....yes, I'm weak, but shaddap! I at least FINISHED a drink! Though I got pink... lol
Saw Shrek a bit buzzed XD!
Hung out w/ Kiwi (that's his nickname, real name is Michael)(I don't like the pic Shrek took....cause u can actually see me and I look retarded XD!)
Crazy night

Ahhh....January was a bit boring though....although I met up with Vanessa and we had our Kid's Meal night! Judy came along the way... :P
As usual, we hung out at Landa <3
My holiday break was good... I at least saw Jenny, Trekkie, Jose, and Abraham. Of course I saw Judy...and Shrek....well I see him practically everyday >P!!!
ah...but I have still haven't seen Ramos...that jerk :(
Work is work...I'm not banking atm due to shopping and shit....bleh....well...whatevs

Here's to leave a note:

I don't have a New Years resolution yet...but...for sure, I want to change (for the better of course).
Either of looks, health, lifestyle, and such...change is needed...
But hey, isn't that everyone?

Christmas hectic ness

2008-12-25T09:04:00.000-06:00

wow...I have been up since 12 pm....til now (9am)

Crazy! Stupid Christmas....sneaking up right behind me :O

Snow!

2008-12-10T08:48:00.006-06:00

Comfy slipper- boots

Gee Willickers! Last night was pretty amazing :)

I had myself quite a suprise

all thanks to Kathleen, Shrek, and Vinnie!

I had a bit of a Christmas surprise, it was really nice of them :) T'was pretty funny though...they wanted to scare me but, well it half succeeded? Lol...Kathleen scared me the most...considering she was outside and I was walking home to my apt talking to Judy...it was like some goblin jumped at me! :O!
I got a kickass berret from Vinnie, a greatly-wanted red and black striped hat + scarf combo (no...I don't have one already!) from Shrek
-I knew one of them were going to point it out since I went all crazy over it...but then decided not to buy it...but I'm still amazed at how Shrek snuck it away throughout the whole night
aaaaaand Kathleen got me some nice slippers. She murdered Elmo for me, and gave me his feetsies! :) They're warm & perfect for this time!

Another event that happened lastnight....(as if you can't tell by the title of the entry)
is that...it snowed! Or well...flurried? Is that the term...?
anyways....

IT SNOWED!!!!
(click on the picture to see actual snowflakes)
***hooded figure = Vinnie

It was greaaaat and unusual! I called my family and just to be a nuisance:
called Jose and woke him up!
"JOSE!!!!! IT'S SNOWING HERE IN AUSTIN!!!!"
lol luckily he wasn't in a deep sleep so he was being a good sport about it :D

eerie though...it was such a warm and sunny day earlier too...(ranged around the 70s)
Ohhh....well...2 more exams for today and I am DONE!!!!
WOOO!!!! then I'm going to just crash and sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Since Kat is getting weak....and like Kat always says:
"Sleep is for the Weak....and then you get weak...and THEN you need sleep!"

After my last Final...I'm gunna meet up w/ Kelsey to have a good ol' nutella + Bread day!
Yum.

...later later, I might head to the temple to meditate so I can relieve myself from further stress.

OH!
Before I forget...
Today is the last day for David Mack's exhibit "The Alchemy"!
Don't miss it! It's a great experience :)
David Mack = Awesomeness

Just out of fun, and because I failed to post this a day earlier due to exams + project:

Web chattin' w/ Jose!
Web chat is always fun :)
Too bad the quality is shit though... :\

The bastard went to Paris! Right in front of my face!
Jerk!!!!
*(again, sorry for the quality!)

Procrastination~

My Birthday~delayed

2008-11-19T01:01:00.008-06:00

For my PRE-Birthday weekend....I went to San Antonio :D!
Everyone gathered, except for the Hollister Bros...though I should've gotten Judy to txt Brandon or something...I don't have his #....but Jose is allll the way up in yankee land

( ;-; )!

***One of the only pretty places in San Antonio

My family celebrated my Pre - birthday weekend with a Dinner....

SHABU SHABU STYLE!!! + tonkatsu :)

...stupid Mari...aw but look at her...awwww look at the widdle beibi >:P
Anyways...Vinnie baked me a cake!! Hello Kitty short CakeThen there's Ice Cream Cake...Cookies n' Cream :)

For my Birthday din din...I wore a kimono :) In celebrations of my 20th year, seeing as how becoming 20 is the age of becoming an adult in Japanese culture...I'm an adult now... ( ;-; )!

Mari & Me

Later on, An came over due to the amount of food...and we needed some entertainment.... :P
U can't see it too well here...but An's hair is in pigtails XD! His hair has grown pretty long...he looks really girly :O
It seems to me that as I become girly...he also becomes girly as well...hmm...STOP COPYING ME!

Because we were making fun of An so much...Mari decides to make a girlie Jose as well...so pretty XD
But...not as girly as An, even with the hair pin...Jose looks like a GUY
But in other good news... Happy is gaining his health back :D!
...that's him...spooning with Lambchops, thanks to Yu-chan...
Uncle Pat & Me
Well my Pre-B-day weekend was fun, I got to see jenny <3>

We didn't have space...and since the cookies needed to cool and harden due to the frosting...we left them in our fridge:

JUST FOR MY BIRTHDAY....well not really, but...David Mack was speaking for my class!
Yes...THE David Mack! The creator of Kabuki!
There is a gallery on display here @ St. Eds from Nov. 14 - Dec. 10 : Its pretty awesome, I hope everyone gets to see it!

My Birthday outfit:

I felt like dressing a bit Vk-ish
I'm 20 years old now....nothing different, still the same.
Well...nothing yet?

1.) I've become a bit more girlier...into fashion, accessories...but still a bit..."dark"ish?
lol...Vinnie came to the conclusion that I'm a nerdy goth....is that possible? I think that's just VK
Maybe...w/e pretty funny though.
2.) Became a bit frugal...well I am living away
3.) I have a 2nd set of piercings on my ear lobes :O...I was such a baby when I got them that I grabbed onto Shrek's sleeve XD and called Jenny for support (patheeetic lol)
4.) I realize...I'm more Buddhist than Agnostic/Athiest! Which makes me feel happy that I can relate to a philosophy now.

"It's okay if you're Agnostic, and you don't know what to do"
-Well...now I know! Thank you World Religions Class!

5.) My music taste has changed, it's become broader. That's always a good sign :)
But I will always remember all the old songs I loved...Lit, Incubus, Deftones, Gabry Ponte, Jack off Jill, Papa Roach, Sum 41, Linkin Park.....man, great times. I still do love my 90s music.

Nothing has really changed yet, but it just proves that I survived another year.

Oh dear, oh my!

I wonder what this world will come to?

I know I wont grow any taller XD....sad face.

But, it's always fun to imagine what to come.

Next semester's schedule came out better than I thought, I'm going to be partaking in photography,
I'm excited!! It's been a year since I've been in a dark room...I really do miss it, but I'll be missing Jose (note: not Mari's b/f) and An during the process...since all three of us took Photo @ UIW
So much fun~

Oh well...
Tis the season!

It's already upon us!
...skipping Thanksgiving :O

Rant

2008-11-12T19:15:00.002-06:00

I am so annoyed with myself....I could've registered for classes YESTERDAY @ 7!
Wtf was I thinking??? God damnit, today was going too good to be true....I may have been able to get into Biology w/ Kathleen, Advanced Typography Issues with Lillian, Water Colors....fuck....

Well... so far I'm going to take a lot of Photo classes (2) and 2 graphic design classes....
I pray to God I don't get GDES 2331 01.....I want 02! Daniel is an awesome teacher, and Lillian would be in that class! Someone I KNOW!

Ohhh...please, God. I hate this glitch that they are having....and I hate my idiot self! STUPID!!!
Ah well, fuck it. Lesson learned. Always double check.
I'll be taking a Photography class...that's what I'm happy and scared about. I love Photo, but I'm afraid I would be lost in Photo II

ahhh wish me luck!

Birthday countdown among other things....

2008-11-11T22:25:00.006-06:00

My teen years are dwindling down by every minute!!!!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!

(That's not my cake...I stole it off of Flickr bye the user glassmenagerie)

I'll probably buy a new ext. hard drive, just so I wont feel to conscious of the space on my laptop...then I'll update more often :D!

when I do, I'll put up more pics: Jenny's weekend, Jose day(well...I already posted it on facebook...so just a sneak on it :P) 1st Thurs, Sneak of Halloween (Maybe), My B-day dinner and B-day weekend....yay!

Ohhhh.....I met up with my ex last Friday w/ Vanessa....awkward :O
But nonetheless, interesting and pretty fun. Esp. since Vanessa was there...our Kids Meal run FAILED!!!!! Stupid Nathan.... >O

Nostalgic!

2008-11-10T18:53:00.002-06:00

Ohhhh man, Japanese Class had to remind me of SMAP!
ダーフィー先生 played it through youtube, as a listening comprehension (if we were able to catch the words for the blank spots)

Smap...Kinki Kids...Morning Musume....so nostalgic!
I remember the days when Makoto was still living in my house, and how mama and Mari would absolutely LOVE KimuTaku!

This song was in my head all day...it still is!
Good thing I have it on my iPod...stupid Kyle! Was accusing me of being a hypocrite cause I was complaining how the song was in my head...well...it's catchy! :P

Plastic Tree

2008-11-06T14:05:00.006-06:00

Ahhhh I've been falling more and more in love with Plastic Tree
<3

This is from their latest album "Utsusemi"
I've been listening to it nonstop along with their other stuff... :O

oooh another band that I stumbled upon last month is: heidi.

Ahhhh two good bands, and listening to them while I walk in this weather is so nice <3

Last year it was Uverworld (their song 51% is so cute) and LM.C
ohhh can't forget about Antic Cafe...but they've changed and became a bit too sweet and colorful for me. It's like...I can get another cavity just by looking at them or listening to their stuff!
I missed them when they had Bou ;-;
Oh well, time has passed and a band has to do what is needed.

but I must admit.... heidi. the guys aren't that cute, but damn are they talented to my ears. Yoshikiko's vocals are great :)
But...I like Ryuutarou's(Plastic Tree) is probably a bit better.

okay...enough babbling and procrastinating...I guess I'll continue on my Typography.
Crap. :P

.....OH!
I got a new phone! It's actually a DIFFERENT model!
Well...I had to get a different one, I don't think they make mine anymore...lol the worker was surprised in seeing mine still active...hahah, I'm just old school, huh? Or no...I'm just thinking of myself in that light :P
Well, I've upgraded. Hopefully this phone wont blank out like my previous one. Shit, what horrid luck. It was Halloween night for God's sake! I went to 6th street, I could've gotten lost and wouldn't have been able to call anyone! Well...thank God that didn't happen...

surprise surprise!
I don't have all my #'s in it so...when I txt back "who is this?" don't be offended... lol

*(p.s. how does everyone like the new layout + bgm?)

Mari is bored...

2008-11-06T02:57:00.000-06:00

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been pretty stressed these days @_@!

clubbing

2008-10-18T02:52:00.001-05:00

Yes, I know. I haven't been updating this much. It's kind of hard to update when you've been feeling apathetic and tired.
Also...it seems that my blog does not get much love in the first place. Saaaad face!

New things:
1.) I dropped my Sculpture class
2.) I went clubbing two weeks in a row....Benny Bennassi & ATB! <3
3.) I worked at the Asian American Film Fest...had many movie marathons....ohhh so tired now! lol
4.) I'm getting broke due to shows....omg Weezer is coming! G2 go! Maybe w/ Judy and Brandon?
5.) AHHHHHHHH my mother's birthday is on the 20th as well!

Will be updating w/ pics soon...atm I'm at Yuu-chan's house, as her and Mari play halo.

2morrow...if plans go well, I'll be kidnapped to go to BubbleHead! Woo :D!

Birthdays....

2008-10-06T21:51:00.000-05:00

Wow, so many Birthdays in October and November!

Well....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHREK!!!! (Oct.1)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHLEEN!!! (Oct.6)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE ELSE~~~!

***Tonight I went to Ming's For Kathleen's B-day! Yay Ming's <3!***
Lookie! I made Shrek a Lion....he hasn't given it a name though >_>

It took a bit, but I'm glad it came out well! Kind of looks like Kon (An's nerdy perspective). Ah well...first time I made a lion! Ooooh at least it was a good refresher. Sewing by hand can get a bit difficult...especially when u haven't done it in a while XD!
"....that's what she said!"

Since we didn't do anything on Shrek's B-day...we went to 1st thurs. for his b-day!...well not only JUST for him....hahahah~! Haha...the art students were...bored?

Outline of a cyclist, actually...that's pretty kool!

We all went to 1st Thurs in Shrek's Truck:
Shrek, Tori, Vinnie, and An were in the truck
Me and Judy were.............................in the bed?
XD
Oh my!

....Judy slept in Shrek's bed? Ohhhhh dear! How scandalous!Judy: Want me to take the picture in...uhm...what's it called...Picasso style?
Me: What?
Judy: Picasso style?
Me: Picasso Style?
Judy: Here, like this
Me: You mean SLANTED??
Judy: IT'S ALSO PICASSO STYLE! Distorted because it's slanted and not straight on!
Me: Uh-huuuuuuuuuuuuuh

Aw~ Doesn't Tori and Vinnie look like they're from a hallmark card about being friends and whatnot?

I like taking pics on SoCo :D!
Look at all the grafitti and posters? Esp. this one!
Psh...An think's he's all kool....but he's NOT!
:P

1st Thurs: always interesting or at least has SOMETHING going on....I mean...what the hell is this?They were playing some old B&W film outside of this salon...I wonder if anyone actually just stood and watched besides the workers who stayed in costume and manned their event?
...well...I think they had a popcorn machine? Yay?
Every 1st Thurs...of course, we HAVE to go to Kid Genius!! HAVE TO!!! ABSOLUTE MUST!

Man! I want one of these!

lol, An can barely drive them :P
....Kind makes me want to see Judy, Shrek, or Jose ride these things. Hahahah ohhhh man that'd be hilarious!!!
Ahahahah imagine them riding the pink one? :P

"Wheeeee~!"

Look guys! The Primary Colors in bicycles!

There was a bear walking around, An saw him earlier...but no one believed him...I mean...who does? XD!
Well....I GUESS we believe him NOW(kind of).
I took a pic with the Bear Bear! :D
Apparently he was handing out invites to a party? o_O?

We ended our 1st Thurs adventure by going to Big Top and getting some sodas and malts <3>

I know this is a bit overdue but....just for Leslie and Kathleen (since i haven't shown them yet)
My flipbook proj:

Over duuuuue

2008-09-30T16:01:00.000-05:00

Sooo sorry for being late on this, I haven't been updating weekly as I wish I did. But beeeeen sooo busy @_@ either that or just apathetic....my bad :\
But...at least I found a great place to sit and read on campus. Well it's not really "finding" but...I do like it. Here's the view <3

Downtown~~~!

Can you spy my Strawberry Fruitkula? .....well...sorry that these pics are so small :\

After classes, I went to hang out at the Hide Out w/ Leslie and An....after a

"Sup?"

The Cinnamon Rolls at the Hide Out <3 <3 <3 Divine!!!

After the week ended, it was my first time ACTUALLY staying the weekend in Austin rather than going back to San Antonio to work......yayyyyy!

Kind of partied a bit....smokers!

Not really a party...but...did drink a bit. Aaaaaand the results were not good. I wasn't drunk though! Just....buzzed??? Regardless, I was VERY pink. Like my sister! But hey, it's the Asian genes, mind u. I am a lighter-than-light-light weight.

While everyone was chillin', Shrek made us some brownie-reeses-cupcakes!
They were mostly for his class, but he made us a batch too :D!
They were scrumptious <3

Poor Vinnie....she so wished :P!

SATURDAY! We went to Austin Books & Comics (my first time!)
....needless to say I exploded. Where to start, where to start indeed!

Hulk Ass?
Afterwards, we went to Chili's like a big family...Vinnie being the mother XD
She threatened to turn around because of Kathleen, An, and me :(!!!
It's not our fault that An is insanely ticklish and easy to pick on!....wait....

From Dinner onwards, Vinnie had to seperate and pick up the family she house watches for...but in the mean time, we went to the new arcade here in Austin (Arcade UFO).
My response: otaku overload, otaku overload! So help me God! Einsteins come back!
WE MISSES YOU!!!
Well, I'm sure it'll die out? Well hopefully not, we need the arcade to stay up here.
It's just....Video Game junkies scaaaare me :\

Saturday: An had to leave, it was pretty kool to have him come by....and do the dishes :P

But....I IS STILL SLEEPY!!!

After he left, I went to the mall w/ Shrek....that's where we saw EARS!!!! XD!
It was an eventful Saturday for Shrek, but for me...it was pretty lazy.....I dunnnnno why.
Ah I know....cause I had homework....damn.

18 hours sure does take up your time, not only that but I AM going back and forth from Austin to San Antonio to work. I don't mind work...I getz money :D
But I don't see much of my friends, or rather we've all seemed to have drifted due to working hours....le sigh, oh well. My main focus now is to graduate as early as I can (at least one semester).
I'm already in between Sophmore and Junior, I'm also going to take more summer classes as well...ohhhh busy day. But hey, saving money?
In a way...
Although I am busy, I still am doing art :D! Especially for sculpture.... -_-
See? My balcony is my studio <3

I'll update again soon!

Le Sighhhhh

2008-09-22T16:30:00.000-05:00

Haven't been able to update much cause my comp is losing a lot of space (due to pics and music)
and my external hard drive isn't working....which SUCKS cause a lot of my OLD pics are in there
like from Japan, etc.....
DAMN

Anyways, atm I am waiting to go into this meeting for A^3...THEN....I have to try and call the tech support for my Ext.Hard Drive.......either that or read a shit tons more.

Ahhhh, but man....it sucks :(
I feel so rejected and apathetic. Rejected cause of what I got on my paper. Yeah, a 78 is passing but....I felt good about this paper. More or less.

Ohhhh well, and time goes on and on and on!

I'll try updating again....Fall Japan was awesome! All because of Quaff <3
Makito (guitarist) remembered me from Myspace....crazy~ but so flattering :P

Tired....

2008-09-10T19:12:00.000-05:00

Aiiya, had 3 hours of sleep again...so fucking tired.
My sleeping schedule and eating habits have burnt down. Well, lack of sleep due to homework and extracurricular events. Messed up eating habits...cause I got bored of the food I usually eat and am apathethic about eating new things. Stupid contradictions.
BUT I made kitsune udon on my own! It was delicious <3
And man oh man, I am loving my sequential arts class...the projects are pure awesomeness <3
Typography is okay, Sculpture is alright.
My worst class is probably World Lit. Aghhhh, I suck at writing. This class makes it a bit more apparent. Maybe I'm just out of shape on it? World Religions, so far is pretty easy so I'm not THAT concerned. Japanese as well, but I need to re-learn all my kanji....fuck!

Things to do:
1.) Read for World Lit. - Paper 1, and catch up on reading
2.) Read for World Religions - Reflective paper
3.) Read for Typography - Project is practically done....:P
4.) Read for Sequential Arts - flip book proj :D!
5.) Read for Japanese - study kanji!
6.) Re-do the min torsos~

Ohhhh thank god I'm taking this weekend off <3 Time to read and sleep!

Ahhh....I know this entry isn't much of a picture blog...sorry. Haha, afterall no one wants to READ a blog!
But man...I'm exhausted and not in the best mood.
First A^3 meeting.......I knew there weren't going to be that many people, but....still kind of hurts :\
Sec and Treasurer couldn't be there, only for a little bit. VP was a bit scatter minded...and not all that sober... I got tongue-tied. DAMNIT. Should've planned this a bit more. Need to be more organized.
I feel as if our first impression...really did suck ass. ah well....next week, I'll be a bit more prepared.
Next week...I'll bake something <3
Next week....g2 collect dues, and plan on a t-shirt.

Man, I sound really busy, but really...I'm not that busy to the point of death. I'm just being a bit emo atm. hahahahah~!

Until next time~ OH! I forgot to share atleast ONE pic on this entry!

Just for you, Judy! In courtesy of Vanessa :P
Don't know why I was sent this pic....so random~!

Week 2!

2008-09-08T19:44:00.000-05:00

Whoa! This is becoming a weekly thing, sad face! Well my life hasn't been really THAT eventful, just busy :\ Leslie and Kathleen can vouch for that. I haven't really been hanging out with them due to art projects and such. Sorry :(! Ahhhh and Kathleen had this "Asian Sensation" night or something, where she made food and LeSam (Leslie & Sam...should it be Samlie? Leslam? hmm...) brought Ichi the Killer. While they did that...I had to do typography, world lit., seq. art, and prepare for the A^3 booth for involvement fair! YAY!!! Thank God Shrek was there to keep me company ;-;!

I bought this "secret writing" kit from the coin machines....it's CRAWSOMELY CRAWSOME!!! Invisible ink and then a blue light, INGENIOUS!!! And it ONLY cost me 75 cents! :D
I'm a happy camper!

...they didn't have poster boards...so I used a card board box and basically made it a quad-fold. It was awesome, I was proud of it myself :)! But...in the end, they cut it up to lay it down on the table so they can see too....ahhhhh well!

WAKE UP SHREK!!! KEEP ME COMPANY!!!!!!
XD....ahhh but Shrek was a jerk to his mother dearest! Poor Mrs. Cortinas!
"Eric dad put your allowance on your card"
"I'm sorry this isn't Eric, Eric is in a ditch right now dying"

Involvement Fair!

Our booth came out nicely, and we got a great list of names :)
Connie and Phillip did an awesome job, of course
Hopefully we get new members and can resume again!

After the Fair, the only things left were the blue chairs.

Freshman Festival....? Whatevs, I got free cotton candy from that place :D

Last class of the day! Hellz ya!

I went to the first - first Thursday of the school year w/ Kathleen, Shrek, and An.

Community drumming? Hellz ya!

Awwww doesn't she look prettiful?

There was a KID at 1st Thursday! Last time, I saw a pig too.....wow, wth?

They were going around, performing as they were being driven around. Crazy.

Friday: Going back to SA
After I went to my classes and to the A^3 officer meeting it was time to go....BUT, when I got back to my apt.....Vinnie's friends: Ollie and Tori were playing indoor tennis.

.....Actually, they were pretty good. They didn't break anything :O!

I'll post about Mari's b-day in the next one, this one is long enough XD!
Until then...I'm gunna make some ramen for myself. I am hungry...and did not get a sufficient hours of sleep >(!
Even when I tried to nap, I kept getting waken up. I are sleepy, damnit!

Well after my ramen I'll post again, soon!
Happy Vanessa??? :P

First week of School

2008-08-28T19:28:00.000-05:00

Okkkk, I has internetz now! Yay! It is my time to start updating :D Don't worry, I didn't forget my dear staulker friends ;P

Sunday Night: I arrived in Austin after getting a bit....lost...sorry Mari & Jose! But man, that night we got things going. We first set up the futon, then the chair, and last the desk. I want to kick myself in the ass, the desk had so many fucking things to assemble! I am NOT going to disassemble them whenever I move back...ahh but I'm worried about the end, I need someone to move in for my place during the summers and then someone to move in WITH me. Ohhhh what to do, what to do. Anyways...for those of u interested here's my room:It's pretty small, but cozy :) It's RIGHT next to the restroom, and I have a balcony! It's great :D
I'm still SOME WHAT unpacking....heh...I'm a bit lazy, and besides....I think I'm good....maybe.

The view from my room.

MONDAY: I.....got lost getting to school......and I live like 2.2 miles away from St. Eds, takes 5 mins or so to get there depending on traffic....SHADDAP! You don't know me, don't judge!!!
.....Pathetic! XD
I had Japanese, World Lit, Typography, and Sequential Art. I know Sequential Art is going to be my favorite class...EVER! I mean, our field trip is to go to the Austin Comics! Also, DAVID MACK is going to come and lecture! Fucking Awesome!

After my classes, I dropped by Kathleen's apt. :D!

She lives on campus in an efficiency...lucky bastard!

Those counters were freakishly tall :\

After a while, Leslie came by!

The hell is Kathleen doing? It's chill....it's her place, after all :P

TUESDAY: I had sculpture and World Religions....Sculpture is FUN, but time consuming....but look! here's my first sculpture! Our project is to make 3 mini torsos (4"-5")...due...Thursday, I think? After classes I went back to my apt waiting for Shrek, so we can go and eat at the lovely Mings w/ slushies....GOD, how I MISS that! OH, but speaking about missing things.....I saw someone who I missed! KELSEY!! Ohhhhh Joy! T'was funny, we were in the cafe and kept staring at each other until one of us was like:
Me: "...Kelsey?"
Kelsey: "...Kat?"
Both: OH MY GOD!!My Futon-Bed! I have set as a couch....I don't like sleeping in wide areas, I'm not used to it... :\

"God Damnit Shrek, where the hell are u?" :P
Wow...with that red streak, it almost looked like I was bleeding from my temple.....WHO SHOT ME??

....Don't I have anything better to do? No...cause I'm a loser :( Or well...I SHOULD be doing hw! XD
Well, when Shrek came we went to eat, then he helped me go to some book stores to find the reading material for Typography....we got lost. I had to txt Vinnie quite a bit XD but of course, we found it at least?...but they didn't have it. Sucks. We then went to target to get a laundry bag, and then to wal-mart for a trashcan (Target was closing and didn't have a lot of selection). Ahhh but it was a funny night, I kept missing with his GPS. It can have an Irish or British accent!!! HILARITY ENSUES!

WEDNESDAY: Didn't do much really, just watched TDI, Proj Runway, and Shear Genius with Vinnie and Shrek. Yes! We have cable tv now! :D
After t.v., Shrek and I went to Denny's....damn, those Hot Fudge Brownie A La Mode are delicious....like heaven! Damn Jose and Jenny...introducing it to me!
Look how widdle Vinnie is compared to Shrek! XD! Ohhhh man....even I'M taller than her! She's like Mari :P ...I LOVE YOU MARI!!!

TODAY:
In sculpture, there was a model. Yes, we had to sculpt him. While he was nude. Well....I am NOW used to it due to Drawing (last year). Thankfully, it wasn't an old smelly guy. This time he was young, like in his 20s. Just to answer Trekkie's q of "was he cute?" ....meh, he's decent XD
Before going to World Religion after Sculpture I discovered the weirdest thing...a Gay Feminist. Not a lesbian, a GAY as in a fag (not in a hateful sense, those type of gay guys who are flamboyant sense). He was talking about how much of a feminist he is, but not in a political way. Instead, he was a feminist in a spiritual/emotional sense.....interesting.

After classes and getting my net set up, I went on the bus to see Kelsey at her last day of work (she was also gunna give me a 30% discount on a pair of shoes if I found one that I liked).
Bus approximately takes 22 mins (walking and waiting at the stop included) to get to school...and an HOUR to get to the drag. So much fucking traffic and was so packed!
The only great thing about it was....I was sitting next to a hot guy from my school XD
Wha? He's so pretty, looks like a model....even has long slender legs like a model too!...hey, don't look at me like that. I'm not a perv! I at least tried talking to him and not staulking him ::coughcoughvanessacoughcough::: His name is Andrew :)
Doesn't that lady have a crazy hat? It's pretty funny and kool. Haha..I bet Andrew thought I was weird....sad face.
There was an argument between this old black woman and a black family. The little girl of the family was like "I wish you would move" to her dad (because they were crammed by the 2nd door), and the old woman thought she was talking to her and told her to be patient. The dad thought she called his daughter something, and got all protective over the girl. Needless to say the old woman and the dad got in an argument. lol I must admit, it was fun to watch.

Needless to day, I didn't make it on time to get shoes with a discount. Wasn't like there was a pair that I really wanted. Besides, I got to meet up with Kelsey nonetheless :)!
Sad face, she couldn't get on the bus due the driver telling her to throw away her drink...and she refused XD
On our way back on the bus, I saw a guy who had Judy's hairstyle. I kind of screamed, and Kelsey was like "OMG! It looks like Johnathon(her bf) and Judy combined!!!"
LE GASP!
Judy, I found ur long lost cousin/brother!!!

That about sums my first week here, I'll be back in SA for the weekend to work at the restaurant.
Sorry for the long post!

...What was Post #3 supposed to be?

2008-08-22T00:05:00.000-05:00

So...Tuesday, I went up to Austin w/ Yuuko and Judy. Packed most of my shit to my new apt. We even went to Ikea to get me a futon :)...Ikea was fucking HUGE!

Judy and I got LOST in this place (Yuuko stayed in the car, to nap....but she didn't :\)

We were here for like an hour in the exhibit area, and us with our ADD, were like "oooh that's a cool chair" or "ooooh I would LOVE this set up in my room!".....halfway throughout this marvelous misadventure, we realized there were arrows on the ground instead of following the map....wow.
Then we went into the self-serve hardware area. That's where we realized...there were doors that cut from certain areas.............they were SECRET doors I tell u! SECRET!

After that great moment, we drove back to San Antonio....and wow, were there excitement in that!
We got rear ended :\ by some ex navy guy. I felt SO bad for him, he looked so shocked and scared when he came out of the car. Good thing he's an honest good guy, he followed us to the gas station and looked at both conditions of the car. Exchanged info, etc.
THEN as we continued onto the highway, there were pieces of furniture on the road! Everyone had to break and swerve around. Ohhhh scary, poor Yuuko. She felt a bit fragile at that point. I mean, we WERE in Papa's van after all.

When we got back to SA, Yuuko, being the sleepiest one had to go work at the restaurant. Sucks :\
....well....at least I got majority of my stuff there and my tires fixed...yay?

JOSE'S DAY

.....well nothing really happened, was supposed to meet him with everyone at his house to play games...but I still had work. Instead, I picked Judy up and we met at Bubble Head. Ohhh...our last drinks at Bubble Head before departure :\ Ah, but he left early cause he was going out to eat dinner with his family. Le sigh, it was short meet but I hope you have a great time at Villanova, Jose!

(saw this on the way of picking Judy up XD)

Since Jose left, we all went our separate ways. We didn't do anything after his dinner, so Judy and I went to pick Vanessa up. We had a Mighty Kids Meal picnic at the Landa Library park :D!

I GOT A COOLER TOY THAN VANESSA :P!!!!

Wooo...go clone!...I don't even care for Star Wars...?

To end the night, we made s'mores (at the same place :P)
We couldn't make a real fire due to many reasons....oh c'mon, it's common sense!
So we used candles....it worked :).....alright.
BUT for SOME reason it kept going out. Judy and Vanessa say cause there was a ghost present or something, but I'm thinking there was a bit of a wind...well, no it wasn't windy...hm.......
W/E stupid candles were just weak, that's all!It's a Heart!.....of FIRE AND WAX! Mmm...s'mores....we used chopsticks as skewers btw :P hey...it works!

MY DAY.....sucked :\

Nothing was planned, or well it wasn't known that tonight would basically be my last night to hang out here in SA. Originally, I had planned to hang out with Vanessa but she had family over. Judy was with the trio, and I never really hear from Trekkie :(
Well, at least I got things accomplished I suppose. I woke up early and got my transcripts from SAC so I can transfer my math credits to St. Eds. I also got my hair dyed :D :D :D !!

Can you tell the diff? I bet you can't!...well, at least not from this picture :P But I assure you it's pretty nifty.WA-LAH!!! See? It's a bit subtle, but it's pretty red on the bottom. Will look awesome when I put it up in a ponytail or something. Oh Joy~!

I need to texture the black part of my hair, so the red would show more...hm...but I'm leaving to Austin on Sunday....oh well. So yeah...that was all for my day. So fun that I am officially broke. Well not really, but I'm not going to use the rest of my money. I have to put it all in the bank. Needs to pay the bills! Gahhhh, I'm so sleepy and bored now....my cue to just shut up and sleep @_@

How uneventful.

Post # 2 Monday: Jenny's day!

2008-08-20T02:23:00.000-05:00

Man, Monday was raining. We had plans to go to the zoo! It stopped for a bit, but we DID go...:D
I'm not going to post the pics on here mind u, I'll post them in facebook. There's waaay too many pics.

Zoo: I
Zoo: II
Zoo: III

After the zoo, The Hollister Bros (Jose and Brandon) had to go. Sucks :\ but we went to Demos. Delicious. But after the zoo, as Judy and I got there. I realized I lost one of the back pieces of my earring...it wasn't like any other back it had chains of stars. ALSO, one of my tires was deflating. Not. My. Day. :\ At least I had my friends who knew what they were doing...or well, at least Trekkie and Judy?

After we dropped my car off, we went to Half Price :) So many interesting things there, I even bought Aladdin! Hellz yah! I lost my copy, so had to get a new one....I wonder if i still have Lion King? I saw a copy there.... hm...

The HELL is this crazy thing??

There were kitties! But...they were human shy...and the "Whities" scared them....

To end the night, we went to TCBY

Mmm...Frozen Yogurt~!

"Say 'ahhhhm'!"

Circle of friends w/ ice cream/frozen yogurt

ALAS, the time came when we had to depart. I'm glad you got there safely Jen-Ep!!! I hope you have another great semester at Tech! Be sure to visit Austin! :D!!!
Couldn't get anyone to take a pic...so....here's something for this summer memory's sake :)!

Have fun!!!
See you again, sometime soon!!!

Post # 1 This weekend

2008-08-19T23:12:00.000-05:00

I've been working weekends now :\ Right when Jose and Jenny are going to leave. Sadnessss.

But Saturday was pretty slow. I'm complaining about the profit we made, but....I'm not complaining cause I didn't have to do so much :D I mean what?....I'm not lazy or anything.... >_>

Heh....I see Yuuko^My mama is so pretty! Uncle Pat...chattin' up the customers....he's so flirty....I mean, what?So I "invited" some friends to eat the restaurant.

More like me whining to them saying, "COME EAT AT THE RESTAURANT! It's SLOW!!! :("
I thought they were all hanging out, but apparently not. But hey, at least Shrek, Jenny, Trekkie, and Abraham came :D
My mom really spoiled them w/ tempura and sushi.....The "Whities" weren't even that hungry XD

But Hey, at least Shrek ordered something :)Ahahahah, Shrek is the minority of the group! :P

After the restaurant closed, my friends and I chilled outside of the restaurant chatting as usual. We hadn't seen Shrek in a while. 2 weeks for me, ever since I've been working more. Well, at least I'm bankin'. I need the money. No, I am not going to whore myself out. Ohhh responsibility, why must u continue to rain on all of us? Haha, it may be easier being a kid but there's a lot more things you're capable of doing as you grow older.

Sleeeeeepy~

2008-08-18T05:07:00.000-05:00

...yet, a bit accomplished?

Thanks to T E D from the help group, my side bar info is ACTUALLY on the SIDE now.
Hurrah~!
Tonight, I ACTUALLY tidied up my room...A LITTLE...not much of an improvement....yet.
But I'm going to have to start packing. Ohhh, le sigh, how I'm going to be sad about moving again. This time I'm going to move in my clothes last, and not bring so much shit. lol.

Ah. Why am I still awake? I'm meeting with Judy a bit early, and do some errands.
Possibly shopping :)

Old layout is back, and I'm off to slumber. L8z

But yah...hint hint....my blog is lonely, it can use some feedback a.k.a. COMMENTS. Yes?

Please, share the wealth :)

Apathy awaits us all

I really don't feel like studying for College Algebra anymore :\
I feel KIND of confident, but not. I'm just tired of it all. Well on lighter news, this summer of math is soon to end :)! Ahhh...but that means, I'll be moving out into the REAL world :O! New Apt., college, no family, gotta hang in there with the friends I've made from last year and make new ones. Aiiya~

Just for Jose.....

(Yes, that is my actual speedometer)

I also dyed my hair last night! Though no one noticed....but it's jet black now, no orange streak :(! But no worries...my next color style will be pretty crawsome :D MAN, I do look a bit older w/ no color...I look so posh :O and BITCHY!!! XD! Just look it! Maybe it's cause I'm not smiling, and it's at an angle to the point where it looks like an emo hair style...but gee willickers!!
I'm still changing around the layout for this blog. I liked the standard one...but it keeps overlapping with my profile and widgets X_X
G2 look that up and fix that shit. Ah le sigh, I really have nothing to post. I'm just trying to avoid my study duties. Maybe I should just go to sleep and wake up early? But NO! G2 finish now~! So then I can look through my old tests. Ohhhhh 1/3 or the Final on friday is going to kick my ass 500x!

Video Hello

2008-08-13T12:22:00.000-05:00

I had to upload it onto youtube...since Blogger took a fucking long time :\
Wow...I sound stupid! ...I AM stupid!
Sad Face!

First Friday

2008-08-02T02:17:00.000-05:00

Okay...seems apparent that my hyperness has faded out...after serenading & talking to Pao

.....stupid Pao!Monday (July 28) I went to the Missions for the FIRST time...I know, I know...I'm San Antonian, I should've been there a loooong time ago. Well y'know what? AT LEAST I've been to the Alamo! K?
I'll post up my pics at the Missions another time. Concepcion and San Jacinto were beautiful :)

ONTO FIRST FRIDAY!
South Town!
We all met at my house, but....Shrek, Judy, and Ex got lost. Sooo directionally challenged.
Haha, but....WE had a pretty nifty time in the beginning part? :D
But of course, we DID meet up with them. So all was well :)

It is pretty true :\
I'm totally controlled....stupid Project Runway and Misadventures of Flapjack!
Dj Hahns! Played some awesome goth industrial dance mixes....makes me want to go to a goth club.
I want to learn how to grave!
Trekkie, oh so sophisticated!
JUMP! YEAH!
That exhibit in the wooden studio....was a wooden sculpture of a uterus. Yay?The wretched MONSTER :\ But hey...we were thirsty, and it was free.Thar was a BIRDY!!!

Piles of Mannequins! Kind of freaky...but it was a demonstration to aware the public of strokes.
Nice imagery, I guess?

First Friday was fun. I had a great time, despite being a bit of an indirect bitch. I'm sure my friends know what I'm talking about...but it was hilarious when we went to Denny's. XD
Ohhhh dear, We were serenading each other!
Trekkie, Your just too good to be true. I can't take my eyes off of you <3
XD!
Then throughout the night calling Judy, "sweetie-pie" and such...ah, but he won.
He out "sweet"ed me :\
Him and Jenny went on a tie though.
Ah well...I still have Trekkie :P!!!

Today....(Pre First Friday)

2008-08-02T01:46:00.000-05:00

2008-08-02T00:38:00.000-05:00

OH LAWDY! I haven't updated in a WHILE! MY BAD!!!

So, I'll separate my entries for tonight...and because I'm pretty hyped on that stupid Monster....Bleh! only had HALF! ANYWAYS....onto the pics!!!
Saturday (July 26) went to the park with friends! We were actually being SPORTY...surprise surprise for Art Geeks!!! Man, this must be one of my fave pics out of this bunch...Jenny is SO my muse

Shrek....he's all sorts of sneaky sneaky....BOO!

Such a forbidden scene

DUCKS!!! Although later on we saw Geese...ugh, geese are fucking evil. Hate them. But afterwards, we went wading on the bridge. ...::snickers::....Shrek slipped XD!

AHAHAHAHAH....I mean, man I'm sorry Shrek :\ That sucked.

What? So my foot prints are opposing me too? Wtf? Well Fuck u too feet!!!

There's a little captain in all of us!

"WHAT JENNY, WHAT??? WERE YOU WITH SHREK ALL THIS TIME!?!? HOW DARE YOU!!!"

This tree is AWESOME...Wooo, yeah we be exercisin'! Frisbee, Soccer, Volleyball...and some football XD!!
Go Jose, Go! Use that LifeTime fitness skill!!

Omg....Murder scene at the park!...wasn't us >_>

Aw Foxy~ <3>

2nd Fave :)

Great park outing, though I was sore the next day....I was ball getter :\

My Past Week~!

2008-07-26T02:32:00.000-05:00

Ohhh man sorry for not posting a bit (particularly Jenny XD)

Oh where to start...the photo shoot!
Behind the SCENES...dum dum dum!!!
Or should I talk about batman? mayhaps....

The Dark Knight was CRAWSOME! I am so thankful Jose, Brandon, and Judy were there 2 hours beforehand to wait in line. I was a bit late due to work :\

After school, the usual routine, I came to work...trying to get a lock off my backpack that I placed in senior year. I forgot the combo...so had to destroy it.

Sooooooooooo Boreddddd, t'was slowwww at the store X_X
I had only gotten 4 hours of sleep too....reading comics and shit....don't judge, you don't know me :O!

After work, went to see the Dark Knight w/ my friends. The original plan was to see it at the IMAX, but they had bizarre hours :\ so we just went to the normal showing. Look at the fucking line!

Look! Batman and the joker are working together!

Afterwards...seeing as how the Palladium doesn't really have much to do other than seeing movies....
we went to Sonic.Welcome to the Scion club!

...Sonic was closed, only the freakin' Drive Thru was open, so....we went to the gas station next door for drinks. Probably cheaper that way...damn recession!

Before we called it a night, Jose and Brandon had an "epic" bottle-sword fight.....I think Jose won? I dunno.
I don't CARE enough to pay attention to something like that :P
NEXT DAY! SATURDAY!!!
Wooo!! Photo Shoot!!!
I started practicing at work before I went XD

Thought of a cool way to promote the store, a series of short films that is taken place in it. Get my friends and myself to write short stories. That way we all have turns being director and actors :)We all gathered first, and began to decide what we were going to do on such short notice XDShrek is DEATH!!!!

Photo Shoot Theme: Roman Wear Photo Shoot Theme: The Beat Up
Story: Nerd gets beaten up by the neighborhood Bully, the Bully gets beaten up by two school girls.
JUSTICE PREVAILS!!!!Freshman Trekkie comes back!...in style??"What? You don't know me! Don't judge!"

Psh, w/e Jose!....trying hard to look kool XD

I think this was the funnest one to shoot, in my honest opinion.

Damn, Shrek looks like his stereotype! He just needs the Virgin tattooed and his last name in old English letters....I mean what? I'm not prejudice. Not at all. Why are you looking at me like that?
Oh w/e!
We're all fucking prejudice in our own ways and besides, I'm from San Antonio. It's kool.

Special Effects Artist: Me!

Jose secretly DOES want to be like Batman XD It's his passion!!!After the success of our photo shoot (and as a reward), we went to Bubble Head :)Hookah + Uno + Bubble Tea = Great Night

After THAT, we went to my sis's house to play Rockband

We even got TREKKIE to SING!!! WOOO Go Trekkie!!! Singin' Blondie XD!! He Would!

Man, after that great Saturday I had work the next day :\ But hey, need to make the money and help out the family. Oh but look at Happy....he is such a spaz. The Reason he is in the sink is to capture the water drops....weirdo.
Well, talking about water.....there was a huge water leak behind the bar we own. Look it! It's like a mini geyser!
Shit, I don't need to go to Yellowstone!

WOOOOOO!

Alas...school starts again, and it is raining like hell due to Hurricane Dolly. God bless you, Dolly. God knows we need the fucking rain. San Antonio is becoming like a desert! :\There Mr. Aviles at the end! Hahaha....yah, I totally stalked him with the pic.Hah....SAC's convenient way of fixing a leak. Meh, whatever works, works.

Okay, I am WELL aware that these pics seem a bit staulkerish but that ISN'T my intention!!!
I'm doing it for the sake of art and demonstration on how the weather was that day!
You don't know me! Don't judge!!!! >O!!!Looking out the window~

Monday, afterschool....met up with Judy and later on with Shrek to...Kate's Frosting!!! It's not "Hey Cupcake," but nevertheless delicious <3
Judy....he's so Emo.

PATTERN!

Hah...it's a small cupcake...that's what she said!

Anyways...nothing else to say...but the weather is clearing up. I wont be able to run around in the rain anymore, but hey it was fun while it lasted. At least now I'll be able to go out with friends. Like today, we saw Mongol. GREAT MOVIE. Hell, I wanted to OWN that movie. Beautiful soundtrack (Mongolian techno is awesome XD), beautiful cinematography, good cast (Ghengis Kahn was played by a Japanese Guy! Tadanobu Asano!) , great costume designs and props....god I want those swords X_X......and did I mention.....a handful of handsome Asian guys with long hair? SWOOOOON!THAT being said, I'll leave you a picture of my mom's sunflower. I hope good weather and happy days keep on rolling. See you then :)!

16th & 17th

2008-07-18T02:08:00.000-05:00

Wednesday started out with....a shower I do believe? I really don't remember XD No No! I'm not gross!! Really!! I just take showers every couple of days to preserve water AND washing your hair everyday isn't that great for your hair. I also don't do any rigorous activities that make me sweat and get all gross...so...I feel like I'm hitting two or three birds with one stone..... I'M NOT GROSS MIND YOU!!!!!Happy was ACTUALLY being affectionate with me instead of chewing on me....~~~<3....But....being the devil in disguise.....he messed with my room.......seriously he was so nice and sweet when we found him....but let cats be cats...even if they scratch up your fucking arm!

After I came back from school I went to work, dad's store of course. See? Papa is already cutting up the boxes!

Oh YA!! So the Lead singer of Bare Naked Ladies got a drug bust! Ommmg, didn't even think that would happen!! I mean, all I'm thinking is that "one week" song and how they like Chicken and Chinese food...watching scary movies....and.....really, what the hell was that song about?

Andy Dick was also busted...or well arrested....I forgot what it was...something "sex"y....ya ......I got extremely bored....I know it's upside down, I was taking it that way....stooge.
But you gotta admit...it looks pretty kool :D

ohhhh but that reminds...when I passed by this guy in class he said "WOW!" in a weird way....
I thought he was making a gun sound like "POW!" but...Vanessa told me otherwise....
awwwwwkwarddddd

Around...5ish? Mari came to the store!

...but after the store I got a bit bored and lonely...so I called up Judy for a study outing!
Couldn't make it to Barnes & Nobles that time so we went to Denny's.....bit MISTAKE
SERIOUSLY, there was this white trash-ish family (no joke, they had all of the stereotypes) the kids kept screaming and the dad kept threatening the kid in a pretty loud voice.....aiiiya.....
and not to mention that it was busy....no studying done there

Yah....you see that pic right there?? College Algebra kicks my ass, I mean....I'm Asian, you would think I'd be great at it. I WAS....until I had shitty ass teachers and now I forgot how to do half the shit....and this one, since it's a summer course and it goes pretty fast....hurts my head!
OH LAWDY!!! I could NOT understand ANY of the questions......
but then again...the teacher hadn't explained them yet.....
I just attempted the homework early.....
Damn.

TONIGHT...or well officially LAST NIGHT...but I haven't gone to sleep for the day yet so....
SCREW THAT, IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!
...so on the 17th Vanessa and I met up @ Barnes & Nobles to do the College Algebra H.W.

Needless to say we got distracted XD "Penis Panic"
-an actual disorder where the male believes that his penis was stolen....
NON-FICTION!

"Ohhhh no.....I have it!!"

Quiz yourself....

"MY PENIS IS GONE!!!!"
(hahahhah mannnn...we were laughing like 2 school girls who just came out of Sex Ed.)

AFTERWARDS (after 3 hours...)
WE FINISHED OUR COLLEGE ALGEBRA H.W.!!!
WOOOOOOO!!!

....and I was the only left to celebrate ;-;
Vanessa you jerk!

"Oh...?"

"Why yes, yes I am <3">

"Idiot" XD

Man, I love chillin' at bookstores, always find some interesting shit...and a lot of books that you want your hands on!! X____X!!!
I'm still determined on learning how to knit!!! I just need a good book....that's all...oh and a Kanji dictionary for when I translate things...
and another crafts books...
and....and....
aw.....I'm broke.
Damn.

Oh well. In the end....I made some bad ass Ramen. Fuck Yeah!
It was scrumdiliumptious
<3>

OH!!! I almost forgot to mention....I found a really cute and random anime!
It's called Moyashimon. It's about this guy who can see microbes and bacteria...it's very cute.
I don't care more about the microbes than the actual story XD
