Anxiously waiting...

I feel strangely anxious and excited, as I wait for Cristina's call. Plans changed and I'm going to see her today, not tomorrow. Paula won't be able to come for now, but hopefully next week. My dad's out to get a massage at the beach, and I'm waiting, anxiously. I guess I'm just really excited and for whatever silly reason, a tad nervous. Or maybe I'm just excited. Yeah, that's all!

I packed my things in a rush, so maybe that's why I'm a bit nervous, being worried I may have not brought enough or that I might have forgotten something on the way-- or that something may go wrong. I'm just nervous.

Darn it, why do I have to be so nervous?~ I'm such a worry-wort. (Is that even how you say it?)
Anyway, I guess I'm going to watch an Indian movie I saw available on YouTube that's with Sharukh Kahn (like almost any Indian movie, lol)-- that'll probably cheer me up!

Btw, I'll most likely be gone for a couple days or so. So if I haven't appeared much, you know why.

Merry late Christmas!

Yay for Christmas, right? I did something a little different this Christmas. I had christmas dinner with a friend of mine, Paula, with her family, and since they had this funky custom that they actually stay up till midnight on Christmas eve, and then they say Merry Christmas, I ended up sleeping over-- even though I hadn't brought a thing in preparation. Among dinner and a icky lookin' turkey/chicken thing on the table (I was afraid some of it was going to fall in my plate!), there was also Secret Santa.

 I gave Paula and her brother some gifts-- Paula got a cool picture frame, where you use the magnets to stick the picture on the frame, only the magnets are speech bubbles, and it comes with an erasable marker, so you can write stuff on it. Arthur got a pillow case, only a funny one-- where one side was white with an angel ring on it, and the other side was red with little white horns sticking out, lol. He laughed and liked it, thankfully. 

I only went to bed at 5 AM. Or so Paula claims.. Crazy, I know! But for some reason I can't help but feel more awake at someone else's home-- especially if I'm excited, I guess.

My dad sadly had to work this holiday. So he stayed home. I kind of felt bad, but my dad claims he likes to be alone sometimes anyway.

P.S. The trip to Salvador was a success, as far as our main focus was concerned. I got enrolled to the school that I wanted-- the only thing I that'll be really different is that I won't be going to school in the morning, but in the afternoon, since the morning hours were all taken already. I think it'll be interesting. What's ironic is that I'll be going to school in the afternoon just when Paula and my other friends change to the morning shift! 

I didn't get any presents... yet. Or whatever. And that's totally fine with me. I use to really make it seem important to me, to get a Christmas present, or rather, I really liked it a lot. Who doesn't, obviously. But now it's not that important that I get a presentnow. I already got so many things this year, so I don't necessarily need anything more at this very moment. Not that I don't stop wanting things, but I can wait.

What I actually consider my Christmas present to be is something I got before it. I got it at a bookstore in Salvador, at one of the malls. It's Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. I love it, although there are times where there's some witty argument that expands to 2 pages and I end up not understanding the point of the argument anymore. But that's only happened once so far. Despite that, I love it, and it makes me realize how the 1995 movie version of the story sticked so terribly much to the original. not recommend is the newest version of it, that features Keira Knightley. As much as I like her as an actress, I do not like this movie. The way the characters are put is too theatrical and awkward. So yeah-- you get what I mean.

Anyway, my plans for New Years, I think-- is to visit Cristina in Paracuru with Paula. My dad said okay, but I'm not sure about Paula's mom, especially if she founds out we most likely will be going with Cris & Co. by travel bus back to her place. I think it'll be fun, hoping it'll all work out. If it does-- the date planned is the 28th, or in other words this Friday. I must make a list on what I'm promising to bring so I don't forget!

Anyway, I'm going to ... catch up on my current manga, Hana Yori Dango! *manga addict*

'Been a while...

And I missed you. You know... I missed blogging with you, blog.

What's new, right? Well, I can say the following:

• I've been working on cielo-sereno.ORG! It's coming along, but I haven't finished it yet. Btw, take a look at the cute "coming soon" sign, hehe. ;p

• My addiction to reading manga has become stronger as I have no anime to watch anymore.

• I'm going to be flying on Thursday to Salvador to get myself enrolled into a school and stuff. Will be back home on Saturday night and online on Sunday.
• Here's a tiny peak at what'll be at the C-S.ORG.

Other than that, well, I can't say much has happened. But I have been busy helping my dad with planning the move... Ever since I started getting back to working on cielo-sereno.org, I can't seem to stop playing with Photoshop. It's so much fun, I have nearly forgotten! <3

Anyway, this post may have been hopeless in the end, but I just didn't want to leave it at the I'm the Doppler Effect,however funny it may seem for any new comer.

I'll try to talk about something more interesting and substancial next time. Now I have to go to bed.

I'm the Doppler Effect, you idiots.

- the BIG BANG Theory <3

I LOVE THIS SHOW. XD

TAKOYAKIs NANA town

Listening to: "Wait A Minute" - Pussycat Dolls

I must mention this adorable game. It is a fan made, mini-flash pixel-like game based on the popular shoujo manga called NANA. For some wonderful reason, the site that made it, who also translates scans of the manga, decided to give us net surfers some fun as well. As I am a huge NANA fan, I squealed at the greatness of it all. The game is so cute!! Unfortunately there is the one last little mini game in it that I cannot complete. Buuah. It's one of those games where you have to find all of the items he asked for in the room, and I can't find the darn last one! /;o;/

Go the heart to check it out--> <3

Makin' it brief.

Unlike the past few nights, tonight I can honestly say I want to go to sleep early. So hopefully I can make this post short but still interesting.

Today, well-- I did my 2nd Japanese test. 'Something I never ended up mentioning before -- my teacher Clarice basically gave us this extra test for us students who did not pass on the original course as a second chance to attain the certificate. At first I was annoyed about it, because the original test that I did didn't turn out so great at all, so especially since Clarice told me at short notice about my grade on it, and that I didn't pass the average, I thought... "Jeez, there's no way I'll manage to learn all of it and do good on this test." But what do you know, right? I slacked on Wednesday, the day after I was informed, and studied only on Thursday and this morning yet I still managed to actually do loads better on this test. So let's just say I'm glad she forced us to do another one! :)

In other news, I am working on my cielo-sereno.ORG site! Sure, I admit I haven't worked a whole lot, and I haven't uploaded anything yet, but I have made a design for it and this time I will not wimp out and decide I don't like it anymore after working on putting it all into HTML. I will finish it before I move to Salvador-- that's my deadline.

Let's face it. I need to make deadline's for myself! I need to be more strict with myself if I ever want to achieve anything a tad bit challenging. And sometimes the most things we want are just of that nature. They look easy, but it takes dedication. And that is something I must conquer now. If not completely, but at least a little, for my own sake.

I never did mention how that party went, did I? Sorry about the delay. I should have written about when I was all still pumped up about it-- but time flies and I ended up putting it off.

Basically, putting it in a nutshell-- it was quite fun. No doubt the party was fancy and formal (I was wearing the most simple dress there), with even a reception by yours truly-- the birthday girl herself and her parents. Think gowns, suits, wine, lots of decorations, dinner tables, waiters, even a cocktail bar, and at midnight the birthday girl did a walk across this runway, in some sort of wedding-like gown, with a band of drummers behind her. Throughout the party a professional photographer took pictures. After the runway, the club/disco area was opened. Imagine sofas, lots of candy, two huge screens displaying the music video being played, and a DJ in the middle with a bunch of people dancing like there was no tomorrow. The boys from my class were extremely amusing, as there were times where they surrounded us in a circle and started to dance provocatively, or in other words, sexually harass us-- but in a joking way -- other than that, there was the part where I was being nearly dragged off the sofa because they wanted us to dance too. I never ended up really dancing though, 'cause by the time I finally got the courage to get up from the sofa, the songs weren't as great anymore. I only got home around 2:30 and went to sleep at 3 AM. o__o

I could speak of more, but like I said... I want to go to sleep early. So forgive me for being brief and not keeping you posted lately!

Fear teh addiction, my friends. <3

For Pete's sake, I must have eaten too much chocalate or something today 'cause I'm really giggly as I read my favorite shoujo manga... What's with that?! It's like I've become more addicted recently, especially since I have had more time now that I'm on vacation.

How hopeless, though. I mean, really-- what's more silly than staying up till nearly -- oh jeez-- 1AM reading Koukou Debut, that just so happens to be a very sweet shoujo manga I can't stop reading!! It's like coffee, but sweet!!

So yeah.. I'm starting to think that my giddy-ness at amusing/romantic situations is fun but kind of sad. Makes me kind of pitiful of my situation, haha. Oh well...

I'm going to regret staying up tomorrow. XD
