Flying to SP

[EDIT: Feb. 3rd. 2004 - 11:11 AM//
Change of plans. We're not flying on Friday. We're goin' in two weeks.]

Listening to: "Billie Jean" - Michael Jackson

I'm going to fly to São Paolo with my mom on Friday. We'll be gone for maybe 2 weeks or more, so I probably won't be posting anything here until we get back. Oh, and today was the last day of school. Finished everything. =)

See ya.

Okay, here’s the current news.

Listening to: Nothing specific. I have a small headache…

Gee, I'm sorry I haven't been very up-to-date lately, uh, blog. (Or if anybody reads this, I'd like to apologize to you too.) It's not like I have no news to tell. I do! Some of it's private, and some of it's just regular stuff. ...I guess I just didn't want to go through the effort and try to write something.

Anyway, I'll just make it simple. Here's the news that I am allowed to report (some stuff I might not remember at the moment):

1. I’m waiting for an order of two games. Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chains of Memories! I swear I’m counting the days! It’s due some time in Febuary.

A complicated explanation: My dad wanted me to pick some games that I wanted for Christmas. I made a list (a fairly large one, I might add) and I gave him the links at Amazon. (This happened, like, 1 month and 1/2 later, from the day he asked me to make one.) He put them all in his "shopping cart," but it turned out that some of them couldn't be sent here, and the total cost was pretty expensive, so we took out some ones that weren't that necessary. So we only had 3 left, but just one other game couldn’t be sent here directly. We could have still gotten it, but I thought it was too complicated, so I just picked the last two, which are the ones I’m waiting for. Oh, and I was planning to get some more comics, but not all of them could be sent out of the U.S. so I gave up on those…

2. School is almost over! I know what you’re going to say! “WHAT?! You haven’t finished school yet?!” But it’s true. All I have left with schoolwork is a test, and two unfinished compositions for the test. Then I’ll a have a small vacation, I guess. Though I wouldn’t say school would be completely finished then, because I’d still have to wait for my test results…

3. I don’t really know if this would be considered news, since you probably already know I’m planning to go to art classes in February… but I found out a while ago that they start February 21st. I still haven’t registered, though.

4. We have a new girl in the house. Her name is Manuela. Isn’t that pretty? She’s pretty. She talks loads, though. I already know that much even though she’s only been here for 3 or 4 days.

An explanation: Just so whoever’s reading this is not confused, we have maids. (Liana has been here for a while… But Manuela is new. We had a 2nd before, but she was fired.) I never wanted to tell anybody that we had maids because I was too embarrased to admit it. We’ve had maids for a while… but just two. It’s normal here in Brazil.

5. Oh, I saw “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events” a couple days ago at the theaters with my mom. It was good and kind of funny. But I was really surprised that Jim Carrey played good as Count Olaf. Usually he’s kind of weird… The only think that bothered me was that they mixed up the 3 books. I haven’t read the 2 other books, but I know for a fact that they didn’t put it in order because the play that’s in the ending of the first book is practically at the ending of movie. So that annoyed me. Otherwise it was pretty good. The baby, Sunny, was oddly funny.

I think that’s enough, don’t you? I wrote more then I expected. Just so you know, I didn’t put this in any order. I just wrote the first things that came to mind. But whoever’s reading this; I hope that was interesting for you, and that it freed you from some of your boredom.

I’m signing off. Hmm, the headache's still there. I probably need a break from the computer. Sayonara! (That’s what they say in Japan, right?)

If it could speak....

"I've been abandoned..." would probably be what my blog would be saying if it could speak. Well, sorry do dissapoint you, blog, but I'm going to have to leave you again. Because I'm going to post later. Sometime when I have something to say other then this... >D

Chit-chat

I'm having a hard time believing that my most recent post is only 2 or 3 days old. It just doesn't seem possible. But time does goes by quickly if you don't pay attention. But still, I have been paying attention. After all, I have a test coming up (it's already Decemeber! O_O) and I want to finish this year's school in time for holidays.

Speaking of holidays, my grandmother's planning to visit for Christmas. My mom's mother, that is. I don't know what were going to do while she's here, but maybe my parents have some plans. I don't remember hearing about any of them, though. Actually, I do remember hearing one of them: Maybe we'd go to this one hotel/resort thingie out in the beach. It's really nice there. It's not that fancy, but nice. It has this minie water-park, too. Small, though. A little river to swim in, and 2 or 3 slides. And in the middle of the river there's this hill with a fence around it and there's a bunch of goats, rabbits, and other animals in there. There's even one peacock! Peacocks are so pretty, with their colorfull and flashy feathers. :)

Hey, do any of you out there have any new ideas for next year? Like a new class, sport, or something? Well, I was just asking because my mom found this one art school where they just happen to have classes on how to draw in manga/anime style. I'm planning to go there in Febuarary, when they're open again.

...That's it I guess. I wrote all that mostly out of boredom. Besides, I have to go. I have some school-work to do, unfortunetely. So, till next time.

[EDIT: Oops! I just realized that my most recent post isn't 2 or 3 days old. Most definetely not. I thought it was, though. ]

The latest

Listening To: "Pedro Blanco," - Peter White

Hey there! I haven’t posted here in a while. Oh well. I just didn’t feel like it. I’m lazy, after all.

Today I don’t have school, because it’s a holiday. Which is a relief because if I did have school, I would have to make up an excuse as to why I was unable to finish my research report draft, which I promised to do on the weekend. So now I can do it today. Normally I wouldn’t say this so enthusiastically, but it’s the only way I’ll get it done. Besides, I really have to be more responsible. That’s what I told myself yesterday.

I haven’t done anything with it yet, though. Instead, I’m currently writing my short story down on the special paper to send it with the older tests. But instead of just copying it from the scrap paper that I wrote it on, I’m re-writing it! I decided I disliked after I read it for the third time before beginning to write it on the other paper, so I ended up re-writing it. But I stopped, because I don’t know how to continue at the moment. So now I’m taking a break by going on the computer and rambling here. It’s pretty stupid, right? Yep.

Anyway, since I’ve already typed this much, I might as well mention that for a month or so I’ve been playing with my new/used PS2 that my dad ordered at Ebay. It came with 5 or 6 games, but I’ve only played 3 of them. Two of them don’t work, and another is too complicated to even try playing it. So I only have played 3 of the games, which are all actually Final Fantasy games. But one of them I don’t like: Final Fantasy 8 (don’t know the roman numerals…) The music’s a little annoying, and the way it switches to different areas is even more annoying. But maybe if I tried a little harder I might like it. But the one game I play the most is Final Fantasy X (means 10). I love that game. It’s SO cool! Then there’s Final Fantasy 9 (I don’t remember the number in roman numerals) and it’s fun. Until recently I haven’t been able to save the game, though. The graphics are definitely not that good as in FFX, but it’s good enough for me. It’s a fun game, but I haven’t gotten anywhere with it. I might just have to sit down with it and play it when I have patience to play the beginning all over again.

I’m waiting for lunch… I told myself that I’d get back to schoolwork when it’s 12 o’clock, but when I looked at the clock it was only 3 minutes to 12 o’clock, so I decided to change it to after lunch (which seems to be late, by the way.) Goes to show I’m really lazy.

ANYWAY! Besides schoolwork, I want to get back to chanting my rounds…

(P.S: I don't know why I even post in this thing. Anybody who likes privacy would probably prefer to write in a diary or something. But I try not to write anything personal/confidental here. So I don't know why I'm worrying. Besides, it's not like I'm asking someone to care. It's just fun/easy to put stuff in here. The rest I keep to myself.)
