おはいようごさあいます皆さん！
Morning everybody!

Yes, its morning at the time I'm typing this. Thanks to the nice old lady who rang my doorbell half an hour ago, I am now fully awake and ready to start my day! (: Noooo, I'm not being sarcastic ^^;

Tiffy's happiness percentage for the past three days: at 80-100% ! (;

So! After doing all my first essentials to starting any day, today's basic itinery is:

1. Remove my nail polish and trim my nails to get them ready for french manicure. I still have to buy the natural nail color polish, which I'll probably get on tuesday or wednesday (;

2. DO MY JOURNAL REVIEWS!!! I'm SO out of time >< Because I gotta meet Kay on wednesday for report writing, and I've only done one out of four reviews x.x I've been sooo occupied with stuff for the past few days ever since I got my __(1)__!

3. Remember to get lunch! And probably milk and cereal too!

4. Prepare for Heng Min's arrival at around 3-4 pm. (;

5. Definitely MUST watch Angel Beats! 12 today!

So yup, that should be about it. So what's (1)? MY NEW GLASSES! Yes, I broke them on monday, the lenses shattered on the floor, so I had to live out a whole week literally without proper glasses. I was really, really, lucky that Daphne was gonna come later and I went down to the optics shop I always frequented to order new glasses and decided also, to invest in contacts, THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU SAVED MY LIFE! ;_;!! But at least I could find one of my super ancient pairs HAHA. So my vision was at half its best but I could still read off the comp, that's why I could do journal reviews LOL.

So, living a whole week like this, I kinda felt like I slowed my life down for a good time. I felt in touch with my being, and I did things everyday that I enjoyed, although it was kind of frustrating by the third day, because I couldn't watch anything nor play any games properly. I told myself, "NO WAY. I will -not- watch ANYTHING until I get my new glasses. I want to enjoy it FULLY!" So yup. Not having good glasses also made me work/play on my laptop in the living room, which made me rest my eyes more often since I just have to turn left and look out into the window. So yes, I'm still on my laptop right now because I really do prefer using it in the living room. I don't feel cropped up unlike in my room, its windy and all here, its just perfect basically. Well, almost HAHA. AND THERE'S ALSO A RADIO TOO! So I've been tuning in to LUSH 99.5FM everyday HAHA.

What've I been up to the past 3-4 days? DOWNLOADING OTOME GAMES LIKE CRAZY! =DD!! Well, *ahem* not like crazy, but you get the idea ;D And of course spending proper time with my family and stuff. That's the (probably inexcusable) reason for me not having worked on my journals >_>;; So right now I have the full version of Riddle Garden(the first otome game ever that got me into the genre, and the first one that I wanted but didn't get, well, legally anyway). Along with the Vampire Knight DS (which I have been actively playing, first route only though, and I'm aiming for Kaname! =DD!! There are sooo many bachelors to choose from >< I had a hard time choosing; whether Zero, or Kaname. But since I've always preferred Kaname from the beginning (manga- and anime-wise), I decided on Kaname. My experience with it coming later.) Edel Blume, and Will o' Wisp too. Those two are PS2 games, so I'm going to need a PS2 emulator (to play it on the PC) which I haven't looked up yet. There are quite a few other games that I'm gonna download too ;D Like Hakuouki, Death Connection, Hakushaku to Yousei, yup! They're all otome games, basically, maiden games for a direct translation, and games-aimed-at-female-audiences for another literal translation, and the ones I have now are the reverse harems type. I don't think I'm gonna get BL(boys-love) ones, it feels like I'm manipulating the boys ><

Okay, so on to my experience with the Vampire Knight game. So yes, obviously, I used a DS emulator to play the game on my comp. Its original platform is the, yes, Gameboy DS or whatever. So far, the game is really enjoyable, but hard at times because of the japanese-english translation I have to do myself. And there's alot of kanji that I can't read, but it makes me learn so its all good. Its not hard work at all when there're walkthroughs. Although! Walkthroughs = playing a proper route; not being able to really explore the game myself; confirm get the guy you want for that route. Aside from that, its doki doki and giggle indusive HAHA. I'm going for Kaname right now for my first play, gosh it was hard to choose between him and Zero, but I stated my reasons for choosing the former previously. There're mini games as usual, so this is my first real encounter with an otome game. What's it like? Its fun. Really, really fun. There's a mini game where you HAVE, I repeat, HAVE, to WINDOW STALK, yes I REPEAT AGAIN, WINDOW STALK , your guy using BINOCULARS you found. You're all living on school grounds, separated by Day Class and Night class dorms. Long story, not going into it. So you have to stalk your guy, EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Yes, its true. And its not really easy, but kinda fun with the different endings you get if you fail to get the full stalk-meter, or he spots you three times, or you get the full stalk-meter PLUS NO HIM SPOTTING YOU! Haha, there are a few more combinations but you figure it out for yourself. He says such "bad" stuff at the end of the mini-game xD!!!! Melts my heart xD! So the rest of the game, well, it'll take a long time for me to type everything I've done so far with the game, so next time maybe. This is just a short review of my first hour with VK DS. I swear I'm going for Zero next, then Shiki! MUHAHAHAHA! And of course Kain, Ichijou, and then Aidou.

Oh and I realized, playing otome games doesn't mean you're lonely in your heart. Well, for me its not. I used to think people would think that way, but I figured out during the past few days that that's their business. They don't understand my fetish for otome games. You make the guy you fancy fall for you, you play around with the game, explore, FANGIRL, get all KYAAA!!! and doki-doki whenever he says sweet/romantic/sarcastic/playful/naughty/semi-bad-but-you-still-love-it-and-can-forgive-him phrases to you etc etc etc HAHAHAHA. Its not an art, its a hobby. I might still continue with it even if I had a boyfriend. And yes, that does happen to alot of girls (; Am I ever going to buy the games legally? Depends. Which translates to, probably not. HAHA. Its a hobby, and I really enjoy it, because its me. But of course I can control myself (;

Oh yes, the other picture blog posts. Probably won't be up in a few days. It'll take time. I haven't been working on it, but its not like anyone really looks at it anyway. I think. >.>; But I will do it, I don't have the slightest intention of giving up on this lol. just only two more posts anyway.

So anyway, that's all for now, I need to do my daily-essentials lol! CIAO MINNA-SAN!
