Uh...

Sorry, peeps. It's just that, that picture of that model was just screaming I want to be annoying!!, and it accomplished its goal quite quickly. So I decided it's a good time to change the layout. But don't worry, Chai, my friend, your edition of that layout has been put in a safe place in my files. It won't be wasting away! Seriously. Anyway, I guess the fact of the matter is that I can't like a layout for very long. It just isn't possible.

I've started to play Final Fantasy X again. I stopped at the point long time ago where I had to try and win a blitzball tournament. Last time I tried I lost like a complete loooser. This time --after I had started a new game a long time ago and gotten to that point-- I read the rules again with more attention and finally I understand how to play. I didn't win, but I scored the first goal. And I never did that before. So that was cool. o__o

But now I'm stuck at this stupid "Highroad" place. I've been there before, like, before I had started a new game again, and I ended up getting stuck there too as well. Only in a worser situation... But even though there is more hope for me to get pass that area now, I keep on dying!! It's like, I loaded myself with about 10 to 15 potions, right? But they run out like hotcakes. Really hot hotcakes. It's insanity! It's ludricrous! It sucks... And the monsters aren't even that strong yet-- they're just little pests that have a tiny life span and could be easily killed-- if it weren't for their stupid oh-so-useful-and-handy-good-for-nothing attacks that take pretty much half of my team's HP. Only Auron has 1,000-something HP. And even he is hard to keep alive, what with all my potions going bye-bye! It's least to say ANNOYING.

Wow, I sound like... Chai. Normally she's the one venting out her frustration on stuff on her blog, not me. Oh well. There's a first for everything, I guess. So yeah. I gotta go now...

shopping and stuff

Posting on the same day yet again. That's just plain weird. But whatever. I have the right, don't I? Yeah.

Around 12 or 12:30 my dad and me went to the mall to have lunch. My dad ended up making me go shopping first, though. Trust me, I normally am not that into shopping as like most girls, but my dad just started showing me shirts in C&A and, I dunno. I just couldn't really say no. At first my dad was almost convinced that the section that was obviously for toddlers was where I'd find clothes in my size, and that really made me irritated. I started getting all snappy with him and went downstairs to just prove that there was a section for teenagers, that actually worked for my small frame.

I bought quite a lot of shirts and only two pairs of pants. Ironically, most of the clothes in general were a mix of pink and orange. Only one shirt was green, and one of the pants were white. But seriously, everthing else was orange and pink. Or just plain orange. I blame my dad, 'cause he was the one who picked out most of the shirts. I was the who picked the green one. Oh well, they're pretty clothes.

When we waited in the line, though, it took a while for us to get assisted, becuase half of the people at the register were new and pretty much only one guy knew what he was doing and had to help them. So while we waited, I grabbed some pretty hoop earings.

After that, we finally went to the food court and ate. My dad then grabbed some shirts from his favorite brand... at that point I was shopped-out. But my dad wanted me to get some decent shoes (since my sneakers aren't the best quality) so we went to the nearest shoe store and I ended up picking up some black old fashion-like tennis shoes. I like them lots.

Once that was done we made one more stop: at McDonald's to get some vanilla ice-cream on a cone. It was so good! <3 Then we went back home. =D

La, la, la~

Listening to: "Why" - DJ Sammy

Okay, okay. So you proved me wrong. That blogskins.com does have some decent layouts, but it's really hard to find them. You gotta just have a real keen eye, that's what. Anyway, isn't this layout gorgeous? I admit, the style or rather "the atmosphere" is a bit creepier than I'd normally go liking, but it's cool. The model's pretty, the colors earthy, the phrases luring, and the overall style very...stylish. I just really like it lots.

Have any of you ever listened to DJ Sammy? His kind of music goes along the lines of the "dance" genre and does lots of nice remixes. His newest creation is a remix of "Why", sung by a person called Annie Lenox. Sounds familiar. Anyway, the lyrics are awesome. So if you happen to have a chance to listen to it, don't say no. If you're a fan of the "dance" genre, then I recommend this song whole-heartily.

Anyway, it's a beginning of a new day and hopefully I'll get something done today. Unlike yesterday...


"This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?"

- Lyrics from the song "Why".

Sighsers

I am bored out of my skull. So far, I've been playing just videogames today. And I'd probably continue playing 'cause I'd love to play Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life or Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker, but I my stupid GameCube isn't accepting it. The only game that has worked fine on my GC lately is Animal Crossing, and I'm sick of that game right now. And I don't feel much like playing any of the games on my PS2, either. But if those two games were working, then I for sure wouldn't be on the computer.


I'm in desperate need of a new layout. But it's a trip to find anything I like in blogskins.com-- I really can't find anything I like there. But I'm just picky when it comes to layouts... or pretty much anything else. Do you guys know any other places I could find some...? T_T Blah. This post is mostly just for boredom, so whatever.

HP4 and silly stuff.

So, today me and Cristina went to the movies to see HP4. We planned on Aldeota mall-- and for the first time, I was the one who arrived late. But it wasn't my fault. It was the stupid traffic! Anyway, so I ran and ran all the way up to the 3rd floor, which luckily ain't that high and eventually found Cristina-- buying candy, where else?! It turned out that they only had HP4 in "dublado," meaning in Portuguese-- and of course, we don't want that. So Cris concludes that we go and walk over to Del Passeo, which is just a block away, because it has a better chance of having "legendado" (english with subtitles). When we get there, we're forced to see a huge, simply blindlingly glistening Christmas tree in the entrance, and oh, what is that..? Do I hear christmas charols?! My, my, and it's only the beginning of December!

Anyway, so we go up to the cinema area and: yay, there's HP4 in english with subtitles! But then we noticed that the next time would be at 5 o'clock, and the current time was past 3:30. At first we thought that was the end of it, it was just too late. Cristina said her parents would probably let her watch it even though it'd be late, but I called my dad while we sat down, and surprise, surprise-- my dad let me! So we walked around the mall, strolling past the various shops, magazine booths, and who-knows-where-else-- all the while cracking jokes and making sarcastic marks. We even stalked a guy or two to see if he'd just turn around for us to see if he really were as handsome as he seemed from afar. We mostly ended dissapointed... but laughing nonetheless.

We ended up going into the theatre 20 minutes earlier than when the movie started, so we just chatted for the time being until the trailers started. We chatted here and there through the whole movie, sometimes making sarcastic marks, or simply giggling for silly reasons. Exemple: Daniel Radcliffe.

There was this one part, though, where some kids on the lower section started saying "shhhh! shhhhhh!" in a loud voice on purpose. Cristina said "anbody have a hard object to throw?", then eventually somebody close by got fed up and told the "shhhushers" to shut up. Me being the person who couldn't resist, started clapping. Then Cris started clapping, and then everybody started clapping! It was so cool! Heh, and to think I was the one who started it.

But on to the details of the movie. First thing I noticed was that they took a lot of stuff out. Like as in fast-foward, fastforward, and omg! -- fast-foward again! It was least to say annoying, but understandable, since the book does have quite a lot of stuff happening, and it's hard to put all that in a 2 hour movie. So yeah, I'm making that as an exception.

But the general "feel" of the movie was sort of portrayed pretty well. As far as dark-ish atmosphere goes. There was quite a few cool effects, too. But my favorite parts were the parts where me and Cris laughed the most. For exemple, the scene where Cho waves at Harry across the great hall and Harry, in an attempt to grin while drinking his juice, splatters it on himself. The whole room cracked up!

Another would be in Snape's class, where Hermione, Harry, Ron, and the twins are chatting, and Snape hits them over the heads with his book or pushes there heads down with his hands. We were overcome by a fit of giggles.

Oh, and one more! The bath scene with Murtle was quite amusing. Neville's quote: "Oh no! I killed Harry Potter!" was even better, though. XD

Man, what a awesome way to start the vacation.
