Death Note in a nutshell, for now.

Feeling: good-spirited
Listening to: "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" - John Mayer

Death Note is no doubt a complex story. It's the type of story that challenges you to continue, teasing you. With every episode, it gives you another reason to be curious about what could happen next. And with every episode, it bets even higher. Basically, the story gets even more interesting and exciting as the story unravels. I don't think I've ever watched or read such a... serious story. Angel Sanctuary, although claiming to be dark, is much more humor-filled, and is no comparison to Death Note. Death Note has more of an effect simply by the fact that its setting is set in what we would call our daily life. In other words, it has... more of a effect. Gah, here I am repeating myself!

Despite those facts... I can't help but like the story. The characters are realistic and human-like, in some cases, as freaky as that may sound... Especially if you get to know one of the main characters, Light Yagami, a twisted, extremely clever, manipulating high school teenager. I don't think I'd be still following the story if it wasn't for the fact that it is so intriguing and... intriguing? Captivating?

What I think I am trying to say is.. wow. This is some story! Creepy, freaky, but awesome nonetheless.

Changing the subject a little, I don't think I have made so many screenshots to fill half of my desktop in a while. Seriously! Death Note has some really nice artwork. <3

Death Note? A new obsession, perhaps?

Death Note is a story, in manga or in anime, that I have always been curious about, but never had the courage to actually read or watch it. Coincidentally I came across some screenshots of the anime today, which made me even more curious, so I searched for it on You Tube. And I found it... Still not convinced if I should watch it or not, I read a review of the manga, which gave me the gist of the story. The review reassured me, so I watched the 1st episode.

And I liked it. It totally creeped me out.

The first thing that I noticed was the subtle background music that made a slight creepy atmosphere. The animations is also very nicely done. Besides that, the voice actor who does Raito Yagami, one of the main characters in the beginning, sounds like Tamaki from Ouran Host Club. I know, it's strange, but it does! And after seeing the whole episode, I am sure of it! That's awesome! <3

Not to mention that there are some creepy and complex characters taking place here. Despite that, they don't cease to be charming, like Ryuk, a shinigami, or a demon of death. He's actually funny!

The ending of the 1st episode kind of creeped me out the most, though. Light is waaay twisted, and for once I am not swooning over such a character at first sight. He's cool, but morbid. Good-looking, but not as cool as someone like Kadaj. <3 XD But who knows. Maybe there's chance I'll like him more later...

P.S. I only didn't explain the story since I expect you guys to take a look at the review, har har.

[EDITED: Just saw the 2nd episode. It is comfirmed. I am hooked. <3 ]

New layout once again

At first, when I switched my main blog to the new Blogger system, I was almost regretting it when I realized that I wouldn't be able to find other templates besides the ones that Blogger offers with the same coding that the Blogger beta. uses. But AHA! I realized that I still have my skill of editing templates and making them my own, so that is what I have done! New layout, totally candy colorful, 'sorry. I wanted something colorful and uplifting, and still silly enough to be me. Makes me think of a amusement park. The suttle pictures of manga characters are from an awesome manga called Yakitate! Japan.

The horror...

Feeling: GAH

My neck hurts. Why didn't I realize earlier it would have been so much easier and less painless to go through the big needle that's holding the whole knitted shoulder with a smaller needle, instead of straining my back, neck, and nerves by taking out the whole line of hoops and going through it with the needle, risking the tremendous possibility that one little hoop would fall apart (which did, and it really freaked me out for a sec). Why?! Why didn't I have the brains to only realize that on the other shoulder piece?! Sometimes I can be so slow to the obvious.

YEAH.

That must have just really confused you, right? Well, let me explain better. What I struggled through was this:

Yes, I have that much nerve to draw that! And yes, you have to click on it! >:D BWAHAHAHA.

Just to say I'm alive.

Feeling: sick

I got back yesterday from my trip very tired. On those 4 to 5 days traveling, I got very little sleep, which must have made me get sick on the last day. Now I have a slight cough, sniffles, and all that other stuff that comes with a cold.

I'd love to show you the huge amount of pictures I have to show, videos, and the things I have to tell about the island and the ship, etcetra, but I am extrememly tired right now to really use my head. *cough*using the computer doesn't require for my brain to be used*cough* Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better and then I'll post about my trip. All I can say right now was that it was worth it, despite its ups and downs (I did not get sea-sick once!), but I'm also very glad to be back home.

Aar. Aye... uh, yeah.

Just so you know, I won't be able to post till... next Tuesday. I am off to a land of the deep blue sea, boats, and maybe an island or two. Seriously. Anyway, I'm leaving today and only coming back on Tuesday afternoon. I shall bring many pictures. <3

Till then, wish me a luck, good ol' sailor!

Bold as Love - John Mayer (written by Jimmy Hendrix)

I LOVE this song for some reason...


This is what happens when you've just packed a lot and are really tired afterwards and then start posting about songs you have fallen in love with. :p *drools*

Just so you know

If I am not paying attention to anything specific or aren't concentrated, the next possibility is that I'm spacing out. And when I'm spacing out, it results into me traveling to a world full of people who have no relation to me, other than the fact that they came from my mind. It goes like this:

not concentrated + spacing out = to day dreaming, which is = to random scenes played out in my head for no reason at all
And with that explained, I end my entry with this goof ball:

“What do you want?”

I looked at him with suspicious eyes. He had that look, that look that said: ‘I feel like making your life hell today.’

He smiled—no, he grinned. That grin made me even more suspicious. He was up to some dirt, that was for sure.

“Why do you look at me like that?” he said, making an attempt to look innocent behind his grin. “You’re lookining at me as if I make your life difficult.”

I wanted to strangle him for reading my thoughts, and also for being so dense that he didn’t notice that he did.

“Just tell me what you want,” I looked away from his face and payed attention to the book in front of me, pretending to be really interested. I examined the title. Mathematics. Great. No hope for that.

“Class, turn to page 576 and read the introduction."

For the love of trees!

I had to change the layout, 'sorry. I just didn't like it. I know Chai liked it, and for her I left it on for a while, but after a while, well, yeah. You just have to change it.

Ahem, my love for trees and greenery kind of shows here. And yes, I know-- the color pallets are all soft and pastel. But I like soft and pastely! I can't help it. 'Please forgive me. Hope you like! <:)

P.S. Please tell if the text is readable!

Sleeping disorder and The Legend

Listening to: "Waiting On The World To Change" - John Mayer (again, lol.)

For the past 2 nights I have not been able to sleep properly. I have abrupt dreams where I wake up in the middle of them, disoriented, and then it takes to what seems like ages to fall asleep again, despite myself being tired. WHAT IS WITH THAT?! I woke up this morning (now, hehe) and all I could think was... "huh, glad it's finally morning. I don't have to deal with that ridiculious episode now."

And it is ridiculious! If I have this problem for one more night, then I'm seriously going to start asking questions. This kind of hard sleep don't happen much with me. Why now?!

On another note, I watched "The Legend" with my dad yesterday. It's a beautiful movie! The scenery is gorgeously dreamy and perfect for the fairytale that it is, and the characters are great, despite some being quite silly. My favorite character of all was this impatient fairy boy called Gump, who told riddles! To think that the actor who played his character was an actual young boy just leaves me in a sort of awe. He played so terribly well!

Tom Cruise playing as Jack was great as well. But my cheers still go for David Bennent as Gump! Elfish fairy boys forever! <3

More blogging

Feeling: goofy
Listening to: "Vultures" - John Mayer <3

Sometimes I wonder: what would it be like if my blog was known? If it was full of comments, even from anoymous internet surfers I don't even know? It would be interesting. But that is all. There was a point where I strived to make one of those "popular" blogs. But I've passed that point, now I don't find any real urge to get it. My blog is basically, for me, a journal that writes for me. A place where I can ramble about any little goofy thing and not really worry about what people think. Why? Because it's the internet. It may sound pitiful, but on the internet, I can act myself, because I'm not known to be the person people know in my outside life. That's why I don't feel comfortable having a journal written in pen or in pencil stashed in my room. And typing is much easier to get thoughts and words across, faster. I'm just a computer lover.

That there is a possible new layout/design for that one site that was supposed to be honoring me old loveable Kadaj. I said a way while back I was gonna make a new design for it. HAH, remember that? If you don't, I don't blaim you! I should make my name procrastinator and lazybum.

Procrastinatorlazybum! Yeah! (...Don't worry. Just kidding with myself.) I also made a simple design for that (which I have NOT uploaded yet) "coming soon" page for my main site, CS.ORG, just to make ya wait a bit longer, heh. IF anybody is waiting at all. I just need to find that... what is it called? Dedication! :D

As you can see, I'm really bored this morning.

...I need to change this blog layout. For once, I don't I like it. =p

LOL. Rainin' noodles!

Click here!

If you want to laugh and LOL at every post, read this blog. It's hilarious and I wish I could be so terribly witty and sarcastic about my life. <3

Recap of yesterday and other stuff

Listening to: "Daughters" - John Mayer

Yesterday was my dad's birthday. November 3rd. And can you believe I forgot about it? Can you believe that I had the nerve to forget and only be reminded by the birthday e-card sent by my mom? I swear, I was aware of such an event the day before yesterday, but somehow... that morning, it all flew by and I had completely forgotten! What a wonderful daughter I am, huh...

Anyway, luckily my dad isn't a big fan of birthdays, especially when it's his. He doesn't like a big fuss being done because of it. So in result, all we did was eat some chinese food for lunch (which I haven't had in ages!), strolled around the mall, and rented a couple movies. Oh, and we bought one of those ready-made cake batters to make today. Late, I know. But I guess he doesn't mind.

We rented two movies. One I picked, a romantic-comedy, "Failure to Launch". It was funny enough to be comedy, lol. If you haven't seen it, watch it for a laugh or two.

The other one my dad picked. It's called "The Legend", an old movie where Tom Cruise is like in his early twenties. Supposedly one of my dad's favorite movies. A fairytale, but a classic? 'Haven't seen it yet. Hopefully we'll watch it today.

I'm right now listening to a song called "Daughters", by John Mayer. (Or is it just sung by him?) It's such a sweet song! I have fallen in love with it, so I must put a bit of the lyrics here. This is almost half of the song:

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart

On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world

And just for the heck of it, just to add more whipp cream on my post, I'm going to post the whole song on this little player from that radio.blog. thingie. Play it if you like, and tell me what you think!
