Today, I was really quiet this whole day, but more importantly I was in a good mood. This isn't like me all the time, but since this is my blog I get to say anything private about myself. It doesn't bother me when I reveal some of my real-life issues, but this blog is almost like a friend to me. Also, counting those who plugged me, u guys rock, I wuv all of u. ^___^ It sounds weird, but I honestly speak the truth.(heh heh ^^) The other 2 days felt like nyeh to me, in the words of senpai. I don't understand whether to feel down or happy, its all just the same everytime. On several occassions things tend to get better though.::sighs::I need a hug.......

Anywho, on wednesday I watched this funny ass show on channel 2 called "30 Seconds to Fame." I was bored so sew me. - -;; It's about these people performing in front of a crowd to show off their talents in a minimum 30 seconds and the winner gets a prize money of 25.000 mola. Dats kinda a quarter of million. Not bad if u ask me, but I wouldn't do it to make a complete ass of myself. Plus, I do lack the ablility to step out in front of an audience on stage.::gets butterflies in the stomach feeling::I found a few performances alright, but overall the rest were pretty stoopid.

Oh yah, this afternoon me, sis and my dad watched Austin Powers in the theatres. I haven't seen the first movie, but I did catch a glimpse of the second. Gosh dat movie is so funny! My tummy hurted as heck, and that's when all the fun started to cheer me up. Da best part was when, Austin kept beating the snot outta Mini-Me in some apartmment room with a kendo stick!! Whoops I didn't mean to spoil it. LOL!! I don't think alot of my budz will get the jokes, but I watched British comedies in my premies, so its sorta common. Not a genepool thing its just what I did. In evidence of that, I found British comedy quite entertaining and for that, I actually got this habit of lifting my right pinky when I drink something. Than I suddenly, get the term "tea" in my head. XD I'm turning into a geezer, blagh!!!! Of course, ur welcometo call me a weirdo anytime. ;-

When we got out, daddy wanted to go to Media Play, to hunt down those Clint Eastwood videos he kept mentioning to me about, even though 100% at the time I don't listen to him. Heh heh, I'm so mean..Its pretty strange, dat my other friends' don't get along well with their fathers as well, yet I respect their reasons after all. Strangly, its the other way around for me. Daddy is the best one I get along with than, mom. I just wish she stops babying me. She even gets suspicious about my freinds when I mention about them, which irritates me. When I don't feel like telling her anything, she gets so upset as if she's gonna spank me w/ a belt. I know its sounds harsh, but I all I do is ignore her. Heck, I even get into arguements with her more than dad, she always claims dat she's right about everything and than takes advantage that she's always first in line. It's annoying. Of course, I'm smart enough to know whats right or wrong, but yelling at me isn't how I negotiate. Sheesh. Maybe dats where I got my bad temper from. ^^;; Oh mother why did u do this to me? =(

Dad, on the other hand is among the most intellegent member in my family, next to my sis. He also remains calm on bad situations. Which is why, I feel more attach to him than to the mistress authority. For instance, if I was at a Fanime convention, and I ask him if sis and I can get picked up at 12.am, he would definately reply with an "okay" answer. Which earns him a respectable title, "meeellllooow". If I put it in a mommy perspective, things would surely be different.

Anyway, continuing my Media Play excavation, I managed to pick up the first volume for Senkaiden Hoshin Engi on DVD, which I've been dying to see.=D Hope to get somemore in the future he he. I suggest u read thefirst 6, to help u understand the story in detail. The only bad news is its much slower than the anime. It takes like 3 friggin chapters to kill one enemy. Aiie! XD There were a few changes made to the anime big time I haven't mentioned, and a buncha shit was shorten due to the jacked-up schedule the poor producers had to endure during the project. Meanwhile, searching the shelves for somemore interesting titles, there were a few I was curious about. List: Pilot Commande, Princess Nine(Ni-ne?), High School Real Bout, and this other one called Nadia. Not an impressive obbsession list I might say. ^^;;

::Sighs::not in the mood to continue this post, the laziness disease is starting to kick in, Gah! XD Since, I'm this bored I think I'll play Lunar 2 again, just for fun. ^^ Whee! ::Awaits for the 3rd installment::Wait there's more......

No drawings yet, sorry ^^;.

Panuru: Oi. Thankies for the comments. ^^ new layout!! U come up with the most interesting styles Pu-chan. ^^ Whew, everyone check it out!!

Tsubasa: Whoo. If u keep up weight lifting, ur sure to attract many women. ^^;; Oh yah, hope things gets better with the daddy debate. Don't let him run ur life!! =D::pat::pat::

Blah, I hated my weekend. Auntie and sis got to have their amusement of being outta the house, but sadly, I never laid one foot outside at all. See how sorry I was? Why can't they be more upworthy than staying home?? The more I remain indoors, the more antisocial and closeminded I feel. I hate that other side of me. I would go somewhere outside of the house but sometimes I get this feeling dat holds me back. I won't say it though, cuz it'll make me more screwed up. Oh...why am I even writing this.::think happy thoughts::think happy thought::....

Oh sowwy I worried all of u, let's go onto someting positive, shall we? ^^; Played somemore of Fatal Frame. God dat game is jebus. I'm at the part where I was supposed to be opening this gate and the only way I can get in is to find da blinding mask, dat was part of the Blinding Demon Ritual. Trust me, just what the hell I was saying is scary enough. I blame RE for my survival horror craze, but I don't feel any reaction when I play it. Silent Hill was utterly a fanatstic one, and continues to be popular among survival horror fanatics today. Can't wait for SH 3 to come out he he. However, after I found FF, things started to get more interesting. I'm gonna say this once more. FF is the most disturbing game I've ever played since, Konami's Silent Hill series. My sis already beat it yesterday, so I know what happens already, by watching her play at that time. Maybe I'll try attaching the cables to the stero in the comp. room sometime he he he..@@;;
Oh yah, mom made some banana cake on Sunday. Dat stuff is soo yummy, even if I don't have a sweet tooth for pastries much. Strange for a gurl like me. ^^;;. I digress I love torte's and jell-o. XD

Spent the 7 hours drawing a buncha random stuff dat comes into mind. Which reminds me haven't updated my gallery yet,::scratches head::Don't hurt me! XD I plan to do a major overhaul w/ the Yusuke one and the gallery layout as well. I dunno it looks ugly to me now. I was motivated the other day by navigating through other peep's gallery layouts. It's good though, I'm beginning to learn now.
Man, I wish I can go to the Acedemy of Arts, but I'm financially messed up, so its gonna take time. I was curious about how Karen and Heather is doing. Haven't communicated w/ Karen for a long time, yet I kinda miss having her around. I knew her since, middle school, cuz I remember she was affliated w/ sis. She liked looking at my doggies when she came over. ^^
I have to take senior pix's next month on the 5th, and do bench painting after I come back from my Vegas trip. It's gonna be rad. Wonder if they have a phone line over there so I can go online and communicate w/ u guys while I'm over there.He he he ^^;;::Crosses fingers.::

Just a few hours ago, my ryoshin rented us a 4Runner SUV for our trip next month. I guess we didn't wanna risk using my dad's old brown van. He he cuz da engine tends to make alot of noise during usage. So yah, parents did a smart thing and rented instead. ^^;They're the most proudest people I know.
I think I'm leaving at night on the 8th, so when we get there its morning already. ^^ I need to remind myself to bring some Starbucks Frappachino or any hyper solution I can think of(did I spell dat right?). I need em to keep my eyes open while I'm over there he he.
Maybe, I'll try winning those stuff animals in the crate game they have there. Gosh, outta the most arcade places I visit, the crane games are a bitch and still are from this day. =P I'll try to obtain some for my budz as a sovenier too. =D

Oh yah this afternoon, mom got this letter from a bastardo who's interested in buying our palm tree in the frontyard. The letter said that "he" drove by our house and wanted to notify da adults interested in selling it. Not only dat, he becomes more persuasive after the first few lines. He indicates what the hell kinda tree it was. I think he said it was a Canary Island Palm, er whatever da hell it was. He also claimed he was from the Sunset Palm Tree Service thing. Heh, never even heard of it so I didn't bother. The next paragraph, he said he was "very interested" in offering money for it that ranges from $500.00 to $1,750.00. Hey wait a minute he said "very interested" underlined, which might indicate he's pretty desperate or the other way around. He's probably just gonna put it in a rich asshole's backyard or something, no way!! I also laughed at the price he ranged how much our tree was. Mom esimated dat the tree was at least around $5,000-8,000. So yah, of course I believe her. I have no clue how to tell the age of a tree, but all I know is dat tree is more ancient than me! I've been around it, since I was just a tot. No way, is some bastardo taking it away from me now. It's kinda like a scrapbook/ Not only dat, its like a condomium to my animal friends dat inhabited in dat tree. Just the thought of not seeing it anymore makes me sad. I'm glad mom understood its importance, but no matter how much its worth its going nowhere!

Anyway, enough of my tree huggin business, I have to take a shower now. Toodles!!

Hmm..an unusual way how to pick ur subjects neh? Anyway, the next paragraph will tell u as u read.

Didn't do anything special, cept stared at a couple of my artbooks and read for surprisingly another 4 hours! Yes, I needed to keep my brain functioning so I had my reasons, he he he. (<<;;) Since, I have nothing uninteresting to talk about, I'll write a game review for ur greedy pleasureness. XD
I've been spending the whole day playing the new PS2 game. Fetal Frame, which I rented on Friday. I actually heard of the game after I visited Panuru's blog. At that time her spiffy layout featured an image of the two main character from Fetal Frame(also known as "Project Zero" in Jap). So yah, after that my curiosity grew even further. What is it u ask?? Its a game made by the same producers who brought u Tecmo's Deception on the original PS console. Sadly, never got to play it, but nyeh..The genre is survival-horror, which the product cover speaks for itself already. =P However, I have to say its no Resident Evil, that's for sure. Of course many are familiar with Capcom's survivor horror style, but I can tell they got their inspirations from another classic, "Alone in the Dark." Instead u don't have coorporations, zombie dogs, hordes of flesh eating zombies, and the infamous Nemesis running around causing a havoc. Yet, Fatal Frame's level of creepiness is sure to scare the living pants off of u. Like most survivor horror games, the classic style, and disturbing atmosphere provides variety and genious originality to the traditional survival horror genre. I would provide screenshots, but too lazy. Ugh!!

One of the nicest features is that the game takes place exclussively in Japan, which ur character wanders in a haunted mansion belonging to a powerful, yet insane landowner years ago. Another kewl thing dat changes the perspective of the game is it focuses on a Japanese point of view instead of proceeding with the Western style. Your job is to obviously survive(duh..), solve puzzles, investigating the disappearences of three people on an research thing and discovering the dark terrible secrets the mansion is hiding. Even, more frightening the game is based on a true story, but I'm not about to go into the details right now. The game gets its freaky resources based on Japanese religion(shinto) and mythology, so in this case ur drawn in entering the mind of the maniac who started the madness in the beginning. The introduction comes into place in which ur in control of ur first character, Mafuyu. Reminds me of Makoto from Aucifer. ^^ He he, silly coencidence. However, this introduces to the prolouge of ur twisted adventure, so after what happens to him, the real party has just started. They leave u in control of ur real character, Miku. A cute school gurl in a skirt, whose been blessed with the "sixth sense" that's been in her family generations. Hey, I see u blushing senpai! XD After hearing about the circumstances of her brother(Mafuyu). A strange presence lures Miku towards the creepy mansion, now its ur turn to find ur brother and bring a stop to the evil behind it.
Speaking of survival, ur weapon is no other than a harmless ol' crummy camera. Yet, before u start complementing, this camera holds something very important. Instead of going hog wild on taking snaps, this is the time to see what a cute gurl like u can do w/ ur special powers as I mentioned. The camera allows u to take photos of strange sightings, and clues to help u solve those frustrating puzzles, not to mention battle the angry spectures dat come across ur path. ^^ Oh yah, discard the zombies and carbon based foes for now. He he. I went thorw hell, figuring out the control configs in the menu, but I finally got used to it afterwards. Oh yah, rest assured I'm not trying to spoil the entire thing for u peeps, but I felt like telling a good story. I digress, I'm not a very good story teller, but its somewhat more of a message to get u hook to a good game, like every video game whore likes to do. =P Okay, I admit I never thought Resident Evil and Pokemon Snap would breathe the same air, and come up with an INCREDIBLY impressive game. Aya! X) But I urge u guys try it!!

I like the idea how it uses that dark and unpleasant feel w/o being too excessive, unlike the foggy stuff u see in Silent Hill. Like SL, ur character's light is only a flashlight that barely adds enough luminance. The graphics are also a treat to remember. Every shadows seems perfectly positioned when the source of light changes in a different angle ur character faces.

The second feature, is the sound effects used certainately to disturb the players as they go. The mooning of certain spectures are a delight. Of course, if u prefer the zombie sounds than who's stopping u?? Since, I never got really far, yet I'm bound to have an update after this post. Overall, I'm one of those types that likes to be scared for fun, I truely find this game a delight, fans of survival horror might find the aspect of photography effective as they think. ^__O

Okay, enough of my boring game review, but this is one of the best topics I just like to write about. So how did u peeps find my pointless chattering? ^^ I was actually in good mood at that time. Again, play it!

Oh yah, news from Mangascreener they translated the continuation of Volume 19. for One Piece, so check it out!

No drawings, too excited about Vegas trip. =D

Tsubasa: After reading ur post, now I feel motivated to watch Inital D. Thanks alot. I'm thinkin of borrowing it from u someday. XD o yah, can I tag a ride with u when we go to Jeffy-kun's house for the party?? Putry Pweez w/ sugar on top? ^^; Wow, u read my blog daily??::happy glittery eyes:: 8S

Panuru: ::pat::pat:: Pu-chan working on 4 sites?? Whoo! I'm sure they wil look promising. Of course, u make one of the best layouts I know. ^O^ Looking forward to seeing em.
