E.R. No, not E.R. the tv show.

Feeling: nostalgic
Listening to: kiddos playin' in ze pool

Of all the things I could possibly talk about right now, I choose to talk about… a story that has ended. You know when you read a book, fall in love with the characters, creating a slight connection with each and every one—you then follow their story, watch as the it unfolds and then folds once again—folding to an end.

When that happens, I feel sad. Sad that it ended. Sad that the end of the end that I so was waiting for hopefully—the one that came out all good after all, where the man finally got his hat back and everybody could come back home. A happy ending.

But why? Why… why must stories end when they only got soooo very very very good as it did, at the end? It’s so sad.

I know I sound really serious right now. Really broody, actually. And you’ll be even more shocked that I am so serious sounding when I am actually talking about a silly, touching sci-fi anime. Anime, yes. Anime. Goofy, uplifting anime. That stuff that's almost as addictive as candy. You know that stuff, right?

It went by the name of Eureka Seven…

But I guess it being cartoon, book, or just plain fiction… doesn’t really change the fact that it’s just as effective and heartfelt as any other story.

Now… a change of mood.

I HAVE A NEW OBSESSION ON MY OH-SO-WONDERFUL LIST, MWAHAHAHA. <3 XD

My mind goes against me at night.

Feeling: laughable
Listening to: "Sunrise" - BENNIE K

You know when you have those dreams? Those dreams that not only trick you to believe that they were real for a moment, but also go totally against your own groundings. Yeah, which = bizzare for sure!

In my case, I dreamt of going on a big touristy school trip with my now ex-classmates to what seemed like the Amazon, where there I met a very talkative guy who I ended up being stuck sitting next to, alone, while he chattered away like... someone who talks a lot. But the real strange thing was that I was also talking animatedly and I was feeling completely comfortable sitting next to a complete stranger, striking a conversation which, if in real life, I wouldn't even dare do-- 'cause me too much of a woos.

Even stranger than that, though, was after the guy left, I was... totally interested in him. I kept on asking my classmates if they had seen him, if they knew his whole name, if they had something for which I could contact the darn guy, regretting we never exchanged MSNs.

Let's just say those are things that have yet to happen and for now are very un-likely. But last night, I suppose my mind felt like going against me. It was an amusing dream, despite its odd-ness. Why am I even talking about such a dream? Because I am bored this morning and... yeah, I'm bored! So me hopes you were amused. ;D

Oh, and btw! I have changed the layout again, eh, sorry. I have finally realized that abstract images shall be the theme of my layouts from now on. They just don't clash that way. Hope you likes...

Music is food for thought.


Listening to: "Warning" - Angela Aki

I’ll take love from the bottle and I won’t choke on the throttle

I’ll lay pads on the ground before I jump off a building

So does this mean I’m going to live?


This song is like a soothing melody to my ears. Angela Aki has a wonderful voice, strong, harminious voice, which mixes together perfectly with the piano she plays. Her voice manages not only to be nice to the ears, but also capable to express the strong emotions her songs express.

Listening to this song makes me feel... how should I put it? It makes me feel nostalgic, even though I have nothing to be nostalgic about. It makes me smile thoughtfully. It makes me sad. It makes me feel bitter-sweet. I love songs that do that. It's a song that has a mysterious grip on your heart, that makes you wonder: Am I to cry or laugh?

Sometimes music suddenly makes me become very thoughtful. Don't you just love it?

Something that started out...

...as one thing, but ended up becoming something different. I didn't use any reference on this, so there are definetely many mistakes. But it's late, and I don't really care. I also got really lazy with the background, as you can see.

The last one... bwah.

Listening to: "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" - Queen

Yesterday was one of my last days at my school. (Yeah, like this whole week!) We had a a small party celebrating our "mini graduation" where it was mostly our class, their family, and teachers. My dad took pictures, as you can see...

At the party, after much eating and socializing, plus watching home made videos, close to the end, we presented different things, like songs on the flute, poems, and at the end, a Merry Christmas song, har har. Very cheesy, I know, but it was all good and fun.

It started at 7 PM and I only ended up leaving around 10:30 PM. Getting home around 11 PM, I went to bed at 12 PM, hehe. <3

Upon reading the different comments at home from the teachers about my year at school, I immediately felt nostalgic. I even cried... Afterwards I listened to this song, the one I continue listening to now -- "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" sung by Queen. If that doesn't totally cheer you up, I don't know what will! It's a great, awesome-y song. Very up-beat and charming song in that classic rock-ish way that Queen only seems to have. <3 Yes... I never knew I could like Queen so much.




















This picture is from a square in the more fancier part of the city. They put up this thing every end of the year. Ain't it puurdy?


Lights are also put up around this area. This is by a open mini-mall.
