Listening to: "Somebody Like You" - Keith Urban

This is one of the reasons why I don't like taking naps, because when I wake up, I feel all groggy. I just ate some ice cream to try and wake me up, but I'm still a little spacey.

Earlier this moring (when I was at school) I had already decided a topic to talk about, but then the feeling passed, and once I got home, the topic didn't seem to have much importance. So now I have nothing really to talk about.

I guess I could mention that I have to do a presentation on Monday with Ana Paula, Cristina, Lucas, and Samuel about drugs. (Wow, long sentence...) The thing is, is that Cristina is traveling for the weekend and she hasn't even finished her part of the job. And she was the leader of the group, too. So becuase of that, we can't meet up to finish together. Anyway, what worries me more is that I have to study the content of my subject (Moconha) and memorize it so I can talk about it on Monday. I just ain't looking foward to the weekend if all I'm gonna be doing is that. *sigh*

Have you ever heard of Keith Urban? He's a singer with a sweet country voice. I linked to his website on his name up there, so go check out some of his songs. Unless you don't like country, you don't hafta.

Bummer FF: AC is only coming out in English in November. Well, it's only a month away. But still, despite it all, it seems like 50% still gets to see the movie. Wish I knew Japanese...

That is all I can think of. *shrugs* Pretty boring, right?

Ramblings

You know how a lot kids want to be grown up, or adults, per say? Well, I'm just glad I'm not, because it's just plain scary what responsibilities adults have to deal with. I mean, that's a lot of pressure! You're probably thinking what's the big deal, right? Well, sometimes stuff makes you think and realize. That's what happened today. But moving on... It wasn't actually my plan to talk about this. Actually, I didn't have much a plan in the first place. Because, to be blunt, I'm kind of lonely.

Anyway, I just wanted to get that out of my system. I was kind of freaked out before...

So, what shall I talk about? It's 7 o'clock in the evening and I still have one little piece of homework to do. It's a drawing that supposed to be something about this poem our teacher made us copy today. But I have no idea what to draw,. It's annoying to say the least.

You know, it may be kind of a weird thing to say, but I'm kind of glad I get to go to school everyday. I know what you're thinking! You've got to be insane, right? But I'm serious! It's such a relief when I get there, becuase I can hang out with my friends and forget the complicated trivias of life! (Though I wouldn't mind not seeing Assunção there.) OK, maybe I'm sounding a bit too dramatic, but you kind of know what I mean, right? Right.

Tomorrow's the Physics test, and surprisingly enough I'm not worried about it. Weird, right? At least I can relax. Anyway, the teacher's cool and it's not complicated physics. It's just stuff about weight and gravity and force and that kind of stuff. Cool, right? Right...

I guess I'll go now. Gotta do the offering before it gets too late. I really don't want to go downstairs, though. Wish me luck!

Almost Friday...

Listening to: What She Likes - Evan & Jaron
Plug: Anime Visions (credit for avatar)

Hi, people. Sorry about the recent posts once again. Lack of interest in things to say. Remember vaguely about a "domain thingie"? Well, it's here, online, only I've finally decided to just make it a coming soon project. This doesn't mean I've given up. It just means I'm putting it on hold for a little while longer. I don't want to go on the with it if I don't really want to, otherwise it takes away the fun and it eventually feels like work. So yeah... that's that.

I called Sabrina today (my tutor) and she helped me with my exercises my math/physics teacher gave me (which he gave to everybody else, mind you.) Then she helped me organize a list of the different formulas I should try and memorize for the upcoming test, which for sure isn't tomorrow, thank god. I don't like physics. It's complicated and mathematics are in every corner. I don't like anything with math, period. Science is similar, only it's even more complicated. I guess. I just don't like either!

My dad got his car back yesterday, and I was able to stop at the magazine store today. I looked for edition 19 of X/1999 but they still had the 18th there! What's with that?! Maybe they only get new ones during the weekend. That didn't stop me from buying something, though. I found another series from CLAMP, called "Tokyo Babylon." I haven't heard much about it. I just grabbed it because it was from CLAMP, and the stuff from CLAMP is normally good.

I also bought vol. 2 of Neon Genesis Evangelion -- The Iron Maiden 2nd, which is a different version from the original Neon Genesis Evangelion, done by a different artist, and is total shojo material (romance-ish). Some of the characters change a bit as well. The biggest change would be Rei Ayanami. I definetely prefer the original, but since I have already boughten the 1st volume, I might as well continue it if I have the chance. Besides, it's cute.

Our music teacher at school gave us a new music to practice. Before we were practicing La Cucarracha but the new one's called "Tristesse". Maybe it's Italian? Dunno. Anyway, it says on the paper that it's written by Chopin, so that's cool. In comparison to La Cucarracha, this one's a much sadder melody. It's pretty too. I've only been able to get a hang of the beginning, though. It's a pain.

My mom arrived in Germany today. Or last night. Could be either one. I haven't been able to talk to her, though. That's a bummer.

Oh, I also stopped at the movie rental place, DistriVídeo, and asked them about Final Fantasy: Advent Children. They said that it'll be a while. Why did they put the movie on their site if it's gonna be a while!? No fair. I guess I'm gonna have to wait for the "official" version like everybody else afterall... There's always the pirated version on the net to look foward to, though!

Wow. I think this is one of my biggest entries in a while. Cool!

It's a dream come true~


At school this morning one of the first things Cristina told me was that she saw FF: AC available for rent at DistriVídeo. My first reaction was: Are you serious??? She was. It turned out she had only seen it at their website, but even that was hard to believe.

So I went to the website to get my own proof. Behold... it's true. O___O I get to see it before all thos people in US...♥ *does a little dance*

Oh, and sorry about the lack of interesting posts. Haven't had that much to say lately.

GRRRR! Uh... I mean -- ♥ <3



My STUPID tablet is not working properly!!! I blame my new computer. T____T

[EDITED at 3:54 P.M.]
Whoot!! It turns out I just had to download a new version! Now it's working. This doodle was done to celebrate! ♥
[/EDITED]


....Psst! Look at my profile picture! XD

Yum!

Listening to: "Don't Lie" - Black Eyed Peas (I can't believe it myself, folks.)

Hot milk has got to be one of the best things to warm you up. Besides hot chocolate, I mean. I think hot milk is better, though. You're wondering why I'm drinking such a thing in such a warm and tropical place, right? Well, it just so happens to be freezing. I'm serious! It's sooo windy.

My dad's car is in the shop, so for the past 3 or 4 days (weekend not included) I've had to take a taxi to get to school and back. With a taxi driver I trust, of course, but it has its unconviences. Like, I can't go anywhere after school. v__v And that especially doesn't help since I'm paranoid that I won't be able to buy this week's edition of X/1999. So far I have been able to collect them, starting from edition 15, so I don't want to miss any!

Talking with my mom over iChat has been weird. It's cool in some ways, but sometimes it feels plain awkward. I only got to talk to her for about a minute when I got back from school today, and I wanted to ask her permission about something, but then she had to go! It sucks... -__-

I'm trying to make a "CG" of this picture to the right. It's a screenshot from FF: Advent Children, featuring the gorgeous Aeris and the cool Zack.


I've never made a CG from stratch before. I've never really made a CG, for that matter. When I see other people showing their CGs on their websites, I want to make it too. But I've been so lazy and even though it looks easy, it's a pain, so I've always avoided it. But today I thought, hey, why not try? So I'm trying. Here's how it looks like so far. This time, it can be seen on the left side.

As you can see, I've only done the base colors, so it doesn't look like much. I haven't even finished the basic shapes yet.

Ugh, I have a headache. I shall eat something now. Tootles!

They shoud put a stupid warning, those little...

Lately I can't read manga scans online without being extra-cautious. I know I should expect that, especially of the internet, but it's really starting to get on my nerves! My dads having a massage, so I'm all alone with nobody to talk to (my mom left today, btw.) I normally search for a manga to read to keep me company and get rid of my boredom, so that's what I have been doing for the past hour or so. But I've already came across 2 mangas with steamy situations. Shojo mangas, of course. But creepy ones nonetheless.

OK, OK! So the first was already kind of obvious by the title, which was Royal Seventeen (not to mention the summary) but I think "Hey, it's can't be that bad." Stupid me... Anyway, so I read the first couple pages and I go "whoa." But I continue anyway, thinking like before, it's can't be that bad... But it just continued, and I just had to stop.

That's when I come across the second one, which is called Yoru Made Matenai. The title or course tells you nothing, but luckily I had already read the summary somewhere else before. But the covers were already a bit obvious as well. So therefore, I sort of knew what I was getting into. But like before, I thought since it seems to be popular, it can't be... you know. I didn't read for long. It gave me more of the creeps than the other one.

...Guess that's the reality of life and internet likewise. It's so sad. And I'm so stupidly guilable!!! T__T

And now I've lost my appetite.

Dear Mine

Listening to: "You Are My Number One" - Smash Mouth
Watching: Hunter X Hunter Epidose 1

Dear Mine is a manga I discovered recently online.

It's the story of Satoko, a young girl still in high-school. A domestic girl with a kind heart, she lost her father when she was little, and therefore her family has become very poor ever since her father's company went down. However, because of Satoko's optimistic personality, she lives through life happily. Then one day, while walking home after grabbing some groceries for her mother, she is attacked by a mad dog. She is then rescued by Fuuma, an extremely mature boy at the tender age of ten. Little did Sotako know that this mysterious boy is not only in fact the head of one of the most respected companies to exist, Wakudera Corporation, but is going to be her future husband!


I know what you're thinking! That sounds so weird! But in reality, this story is so cute~! Currently it can only be found here. All the chapters are there (meaning it's complete), but unfortunately, at the moment, only chapter 1 to 4 are available to download. You must check it out, though!

I'm surprised I even dare...

Monday. Those aren't usually very good. Especially since today, Cristina didn't come to school. Maybe she's sick. Dunno. I might call her later. Anyway, today at school wasn't that bad. I survived the three first classes. P.E. is the one I can't stand, though.

Normally I hate P.E.. But this time it wasn't so bad. Right now we're playing "handball." It's a little like soccer mixed with basketball, using your hands. Today's game was one of the first ones that I actually enjoyed. There were less people, and half of the time the teacher wasn't there, which tends to make the game less stressful. Luan (the goalie in our team) was constantly complaining, though. "Que coisa sem graça" is what he called the game, which if translated into English, basically means how boring! I guess it's because most of the kids (if they like sports) they like it when there's more excitement and stress. But I prefer when there's less excitement, that way I can relax.

He also kept on letting the ball in! At least in the beginning. And almost every time he got a chance to hold the ball, he'd want to make a goal to the other goal, which is all the way on the other side! "I want to play!" he would insist when people complained. He ended up getting only one goal in all the times that he tried. XD

Anyway, it's not like I played especially well today. Even though I did block one ball. We ended up winning in the end.

I'm going to try, okay?!

Listening to: "Good Times" - Tommy Lee

OK, OK! So I haven't written in that journal thing yet. But I'm lazy! Especially now that I'm so tired and sleepy. It's because I went to Beach Park yesterday (water-park) and it knocked me out. Now I must pay for it...

Me mom and dad went out... My mom went back to the hospital to check on Johan (german name, so don't pronounce it like it shows) and Mo, to see if they can come back. Grandma stayin' here, though. My dad, well... he went back to uh... where he goes every night.

So basically I'm all alone in my room. I can't say I disklike it, though. Some ways it's cool, in others it can be pretty boring, like now. Earlier I was non-stop, playing Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on my GBA. (I'm finally progressing in the story!) But I got a "game over" after I died in a really hard (stupid) boss battle. At that point, I just stopped. Besides, the background music won't stop ringing in my ears...

I guess as far as major news goes, my mom's going back to Germany with my sister and her boyfriend, which is around the 19th or something. 'Course, she'll be coming back. But only in a month. I was really upset (even a bit angry) about it at first when she told me, but what can I do? She's gotta sort herself out. Between that time, my dad'll be here with me. Anyway, we'll see how it goes. That's one of the parts I don't like, though. I don't wanna see how it turns out in the last minute...

I'm blank now. Don't know what else to talk about... (Basically, I have something more interesting to do.)
In regards to the title, I was basically trying to say I'll try to make a bigger post... Dunno if it worked.

I have a thing for angels...

I got my journal. Okay, so technically it ain't a journal, because in fact it's actually an agenda. But the journals they had (which looked really babyish) were ridiculously expensive. The agendas were much more cheaper. Besides, the cover is simply adorable. It's of a little red-headed angel boy playing a gutair, with the cutest wings I've ever seen. Maybe I'll write some before I go to bed to start! =D

Shorty

Listening to: 3ª Do Plural - Engenheiros Do Hawaii

Hey there, peeps. I am currently infested with the dreaded feeling called "boredom," so be aware, I won't be here to entertain you guys. Probably not anyway...

Well, let's see! The week is over once again, and so quickly... once again. It's kind of strange, though. Normally I await the weekend eagerly, already having made plans. But this time, I feel like... "Oh, weekend? Uh... What's the big deal?" But I guess because I have no plans, it's not as exciting.

Hey, have you guys ever tried yakisoba? It's a chinese noodle dish, and it's sooo good! I'm eating it this very second--even though I'm not supposed to eat in front of my comp heehee~

You must have noticed the change. I mean.... look at all the bright pastel colors! Well, it was my doing, of course. I figured, if the HTML/CSS is simple enough, then it can't be that difficult. Bless the layout-maker's soul, it wasn't. o__o

Oh, another thing! I MUST see this movie when it comes out! I just love that line: "Please sir, I want some more."

[EDIT]
I wrote this post around 5:30, but because Blogger was in maintence at that time, I had to post it later, and it just so happened to be eleven when I did it.

❦ I like to whine once in a while...

♣ Listening to: "O Preço" - Engenheiros Do Hawaii


Man... I so wanna a digital camera. That way I could take pictures of my school, house, friends, etc. so people could get a better idea of how my life looks like. Maybe I can get one for my 15th birthday! That would be cool... *sighs dreamily* Then again, I'd have to wait for a while... What a bummer. Maybe, (just maybe) I could convince my folks to buy me one for Christmas. Maybe...

I want to buy a journal. Just a pretty, simplistic, but nice, notebook to write in. Becuase, well, I can't help but dream about those quiet moments in my room where I could write and just... open up my heart. 'Course, there's always the possibility of someone finding by accident and reading. Then, not only could I get embarrassed, but also in trouble! But I guess I'll try it out. If only I could go to the mall one of these days...

Wanna know about another thing I want? Sims 2. It looks so darn cool and... cool! But it must be really expensive here, and plus even harder to find for the Mac. And like I said before, I haven't been able to go to the mall. *pouts*

Btw: I am simply adoring Final Fantasy X-2.

Anyway, I don't have much to say really, so I guess I'll stop here. See ya~!
