The strangest things can happen...

The weirdest thing happened a couple minutes ago. I was about to do the offering at that time, so I went downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed the plate from the kitchen and set it down on one of the counters. That's when an urge to go to the bathroom came over me, so I quickly went up stairs. After, I washed my hands, then I started seriously spacing out (I've been like this the whole day) while staring at the mirror. Here's the weird part: At that moment I took my toothbrush and did the whole thing: I wet the brush, put the the toothpaste on, and I brushed my teeth. After I finished, that's when I finally realized that I was supposed to be doing the offering! And before that I didn't even pay attention to what I was doing. I literally didn't know I was brushing my teeth, as if I was half-asleep. It's so weird. O___O

T__T

Jeez, I think this is the longest my dad and me have talked this week. It was like 2 hours, literally. And I only copied two sentences from the text for Geography and now it's too late to continue.

I mean, I did my homework that's due tomorrow. Sabrina (my tutor) helped me with my math and then left. I then took a little break and decided to start copying. A couple minutes later I decided it would be best to take a shower, so I did, and when I came out that's when this 2 hour long discussion came into session. Now it's almost 8 o'clock.

But what really bothers me is that I can't talk about it here!! I cannot talk about what it was about, I cannot do anything of the sort! I cannot even talk to a friend about it. I mean, it's not like anybody told me directly "Do not talk about it." No. It's just that I know I can't. The only person I can talk about it with is my dad, and my mom... I can't, because it's about her, so, duh, that won't work. It's just VERY frustrating.

I'm sorry for the confusion, after all, why am I bothering to mention it I can't talk about it in detail? Well, I have to express my frustration somewhere.

...Anyway, I need to go. See you, whoever you are. Wish me luck. Please.

It needed a change.

Yeah, I know, that was quick. But that way-too-bright turquoise was getting on my nerves. This is much better. Better on the eyes, plus it's featuring one of my favorite characters from Final Fantasy X, Yuna & Tidus. It's supposed to give out a sad/bittersweet feeling, but when I showed it to my mom, her only reaction was "Aaaaw... That is so cute!" I guess it's hard for people to get the feeling if they don't know what's happening. But what really bugs me is that I can't figure out how to change the small text in the sidebar. T_T

Anyway, pushing that aside, let's talk about something more fun (not school please)! Look at this. You're seeing it? It's a screenshot from the newest trailer from Final Fantasy XII, one of the newest games to come from Square Enix. And me being crazy about anything with "Final Fantasy" in it, I know about this one.

You probably already noticed that two are with only one person. He's the hero of the game, Vaan, and uh... he's cute. Period. I know, I'm shallow. XD Oh, and the third is just an extra, because that scenery is just too cool to ignore. It's a city in the sky! How cool is that?

Anyway, I guess I'll just mention what's up in school, even though I'd prefer not to. My amount of stuff to copy has shortented greatly, thankfully because of the teachers' kindness. I only have one thing to finish. As copying subjects go, anyway. I need to finish the Geography Album of America, though. I haven't finished all the drawings and I have to copy another text today. The last one. But the big bummer is that I must finish today because tomorrow there'll be a test, so I have to study on top of that. I also have Geometry homework to finish, but that'll be quick and easy.

I have to do this all today. ToT (Thankfully I'll have some help from my mom, I hope.)

...A little comment.

I just came back from the theaters a couple minutes ago. I saw Star Wars 3! It was GOOD. =) I recommend it to anyone.

It sucks so bad that there's nobody online... ;___; Everybody's at Badger.

I got a chance to grow-up a bit faster.

Okay, so I was really freaked out yesterday. But now I'm much better. You have no idea how much.

I'll tell you what happened in the shortest way I can, if that is even possible. After school I had the girls from my class come over to my house to study together, or just simply get some subjects up-to-date.The day passed by (I might go into details of that day later) and it was close to 7 o'clock, which was the time my mom set for people to be picked up. That's when Ana Paula's mother came. Well, she didn't really come inside our property; she was in her car, on the street, waiting, because she said she was in a hurry.

Ana Paula and Cristina got their things together and went to the door that leads to the street (my house is gaurded by a rock wall too) where my mom was waiting. I just came along too to say good-bye to them. They were just about to get in the car when my mom noticed two strange guy aprouching the car, and that's when she shouted to Ana Paula's mother to GO. Then she screamed to us to RUN. Run inside the property, that is. So I ran, terrifierd, with Cristina on my back and Ana Paula... I honestly had no clue where she was, because the only thought in my mind at that second was to run as fast as I could to the house. (I forgot to mention Bianca and Eduarda were still in the house. Oh, and my dad was having a massage in his room.)

What was my mom doing, you ask? Trying to shut the door and on the four guys that were trying to get in, while screaming at the top of her lungs. Jeez, just the memory of it gives me chills.

I ran up the stairs with Cristina still behind me to my dad's room, where I banged on the door. (This time I wasn't scared about disturbing him). Manuela opened the door, my dad being behind her with a towel still wrapped around him. I tried to explain what was going on, but I guess I was talking a bit too fast for my dad to understand exactly. He ended up closing the door again so he could change. I mean, HELLO?!

By the time my dad got to the scene, it was over. My mom scared them off some how. I swear, I was trembling the whole way. Even after it was over. I had to force my self to not cry. Anyway, my mom must have been a bit shaken up, and also a bit upset with my dad, but she was the first one to ask everybody "Where's Ana Paula?" Ana Paula came in the house a couple seconds later crying. I felt so bad, so I huged her. She told us that she hid in the garden, by the drive way, with her backpack. After that, my mom told everyone to call their mothers, and to stop everyone from coming, that it was better. Less dangerous, I guess.

My mom argued with my dad a little bit, asking why in hell it took him so long. But anyway... they later decided for my dad to drop off the kids. I really didn't want him to go, but he went, and thankfully, came back safe and sound. But while he was gone, I went to my mom's room and started crying. I was so scared for my mom then. I was more worried about her then my own safety. It goes to show how much I love her.

So we talked, I cried and talked in between, and she expressed her feelings about dad. She said later that night that it gave her wake-up-call. This makes me feel very sad.

Anyway... you probably want the juicy details about what happened between my mom and the guys, right? Well, I'll tell you. She was pointed with two guns, one at her head, and another at her neck, and when she still continued to scream, they told her to shut up or they'll shoot. She continued screaming, but they did not shoot. They eventually went away. She also mentioned that one guy tried to hush her with his hand, but she bit his finger! Another guy tried pulling her hair. This all happend while she was trying to shut the door on them.

Even when I later came to say good-night to my mom, I started crying again. It was ridicioulus. I don't think I've ever cried so much in one day.

Also later that night Cristina and Ana Paula called me to chat.

Deep breath...

I MUST CALM DOWN. I MUST CALM DOWN. I JUST MUST!

I can't talk about this right now. I'm too freaked out. I'll talk about this tomorrow.

OH-MY-GOSHNESS!

I was searching for Princess Diaries 2's official website on Google after chatting with Chai. I clicked on one of the results which led me to Walt Disney Pictures's a official website. I ignored what was being advertised at that time, since I had some other things to do, and put the computer to sleep. Several hours later I'm back on the computer and still find the website open in one of my browser windows. So, being too curious and kind of bored, I look. And what do I find? An advertisement, right smack in the middle, advertising a new movie in the theaters called "Howl's Moving Castle" by Hayao Miyazaki, one of my favorite directors ever since Totoro! This just makes me squirm with joy. It was pretty short lived after I realized it's only in the U.S. and Japan at the momenr, but hey, at least I got to see the trailer! It's looks soo cool...

The trailer can be found here, and the official website can be found here.

Random outburst, I suppose.

Listening to: Only Hope - Mandy Moore

Has anybody noticed that I put a new icon in the "A/M Otaku" bar? Well, let me just clarify that this is not a new series for me. I've loved this series for a long time. (I've already finished it.) I just forgot to make an icon for it, which is pretty hard to believe. ToT

Wanna see my favorite part of the whole series? THIS. I remember being overjoyed when I saw that. This happens in Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz. Yeah, yeah... It's silly. But you'd feel the same if you know how darn hard it's to see these two together in good terms. It kinda sucks that Heero (the guy) is unconscious, though.



The song that I'm listening to is so pretty! It has a very positive feeling to it. It's a mixture of piano and violin. Plus poetic lyrics and a good voice. It starts out slow, then the singers voice gets more confident, then it slows down again. It continues in that pattern, but it's so pretty! T---T

Here are the lyrics.

There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold.
But you sing to me over and over and over again.

So, I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope.

Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again.
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I know now, you're my only hope.

I give you my destiny.
I'm giving you all of me.
I want your symphony, singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs, I'm giving it back.

So I lay my head back down.
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours, I pray, to be only yours
I pray, to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Pretty, no?

Am I talking to fast for you?

I just saw a movie called The Forgotten yesterday with my dad. There was a part in the movie, though, where I got totally spooked and had to stop watching. It was only just this morning that I finished it. It was good. Freaky-ish, but good.

In the "Special Features" they had the trailer of Secret Window which my mom rented, and it looks cool! It looks more like a thriller than a spooker, though. But if it's Johnny Depp, who can resist? Anyway, just maybe I'll see it. It would be better if I saw it in the daylight, though.

....

ToT

OW. Now I just scraped my leg because I was getting up to fast from my chair when my dad called me and almost tripped, which led to me scraping my leg on my bed. Now it burns and there's a little cut.

Anyway! I need to get in the shower... Yes, that's right! I'm still in my PJs and it's almost 9 o'clock. See ya!

Stuff! (I'm running out of funny titles...)

Listening to: Wherever You Are - Laava

I drew this on Photoshop using my tablet. Oh, wait. Let me refrase that. I mean-- I scribbled this on Photoshop. Even though it's obviously not finished, and very messy (plus there's obvious mistakes), I'm strangely proud of it. I never thought I could draw something like that... And I had NO reference! XD
...Yeah, I don't have my own signature yet.


(The original is bigger.)


Even though I already put it in the "Links" bar, I gotta put it here, or else nobody'll see it! I discovered this webcomic, uh... a couple months ago. It's so cool! I know a certain someone is probably way too busy to start reading it, since she's already quite behind MegaTokyo and suc... But she must read this, at least. Besides, if she can't read it online, buy it at the bookstore, girl!

Akira Himegawa in one.

Akira Himegawa, if you don't know, is the current artist of the Legend of Zelda series for the mangas. Another good note I should make is that Akira Himegawa is not one person, but rather a group of artists, like CLAMP.

This one's from the latest manga to be realesed, which is based on the LoZ: Four Swords. I'm showing two pictures.






This one's based on A Link to the Past.



This one's based on The Oracle of Seasons.



This one's based on The Oracle of Ages. (That's not Link, by the way.)



And this one's based on the Ocarina of Time.

Uh... just stuff.

Congratulations on making Hufflepuff!
You're one hard-working, loyal, compassionate little thing, aren't you?! Well, there are some good things, and some bad things about that. Bad things first, so after you're let down and crying your eyes out, plunging into a state of depression, I can cheer you up with the better facts. Bad thing, your house has a horrible rep for being a bunch of wimps. Sorry. Good thing, it's not quite true. You're tough! It's hard to be loyal! And remember, Hufflepuff is you! Don't be ashamed of yourself.

Gah... This sucks. ToT I have to do a project on my own, without my partner, because she's sick. A fever, bleh. I hope she's better before this weekend!
