sexy. sensual. smooth.

You're listening to Lush 99.5 FM.

So right now I'm eating a kinda late lunch - instant mushroom pizza that I toasted, and some leftover pulpy fruit juice. Enjoyable even though it sounds pathetic ^^;

So Tuesday I watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice with Daphne, Lynn, and Claris; it was surprisingly good for a Disney film. Enjoyable at least (; And I also collected and wore out my contacts for that day. Gosh it was just overwhelmingly spectacular and beautiful to be able to see so clearly everything that's around me without glasses. I just couldn't believe that I wasn't wearing glasses. So I thank God for giving me contacts. It was just magical, like a once in a life time opportunity. Absorbing all those sights around me without feeling like I was wearing glasses. Its just a little sad that I can't read well with the contacts, after all it isn't to my degree, it was the highest they could go with contacts. And I was also in luck when I went to contact it because I got serviced by this pretty cute glasses-wearing guy <3 Even though he was a bit..unfriendly of sorts. Like a teacher-attitude. :\

And wednesday I met up Kay and started on our report. Nothing much to say~ Just that I spent like an hour just LOOKING at nail polish, because I couldn't find/decide which color I should get for french manicure. So I exited the shop without buying ANYTHING ): Butttttt, I made a short trip to SASA and got two colors I thought was suitable (; So I'm gonna try them out soon enough.

So the itinery:

1. French Manicure
2. Watch my anime/jap-drama(that Heng Min gave me)
3. Continue with the journal review and report -.-;
4. Anything else I wanna do but can't remember right now HAHA

^^

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!

hmm..

sorry guys but I really wanna get this off my mind.

I just had a little chat with Dan this morn' and till now I CAN'T FREAKING THINK STRAIGHT. Someone please please PLEASE pull me back down to earth, like, using the ET method, or "Earth calling to Wanwan" method.

My Second Thoughts are screaming, "STOP thinking Shi Wan, it does no good to your health, your mood, OR your REALITY. There's no absolute credibility to what that person is saying. For all we know, he might be a fraud who just enjoys telling you things to make you dance in the palm of his hand like some idiot who can't think for herself about how he's lying to you about EVERYTHING. You're so naive!"

And my Third Thoughts are telling me, "She's right, you know, your Second Thoughts. You should just take everything he says with 100% salt in it. You know your reality is better than this. And you ALSO know that you *don't* want to go back to THOSE days again. Both of us, your Second and Third Thoughts, understand how much your First Thoughts are preventing you from falling back to Earth. When can we kiss the-online-life completely goodbye you girl? How many years has it been?! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER."

And my second thoughts continued with "You DO know that ONE day, your special someone will turn up. Its just a matter of time, and you already know that you aren't ready now, so what's the point? IT MAKES YOU MALFUNCTION! You're lucky she and I - your Third Thoughts and myself the Second - are here to REMIND you of your REALITY! NOW ARE YOU GOING TO FREAKING SAVE US FROM BEING DROWNED IN YOUR IMAGINATION OR LEAVE US TO DIE HUH?!"

"Alright alright! Give me a day to sleep it off, alright?" that's what I'm saying to my thoughts right now. And they warily agreed to my request.

I just hope it works.

picture blog post ii

so this is the second post, and its only about the artbooks I own, among other things. its picture heavy, the pictures are of higher quality definitely, but uh taken by -camera-, so don't expect it to be flat. credits given too, for disclaimer purposes. so sit back, relax, and enjoy the eye candy!

note: ALL pictures are LINKED to said better quality images, unless otherwise stated.



So I proudly present some of the manga I own. The titles here are those I enjoyed the most <33 Now that I can read Japanese (well, aside from alot of kanji - but heck, the manga always has hiragana readings for the kanji), I've been buying my manga in jap instead. Original langauge FTW! Its just that they're hella lot more expensive. I haven't been buying any manga for some time now so yeah.. Oh and the Post Secret - my sis got that for my birthday this year ^^

This is my collection of Sainkoku Monogatari Art Books~~ The one on the extreme left is FULL if wonderful and lovely illustrations drawn by Kairi Yura, who also draws the illustrations in the light novels of said title.

quick update

just a quick one for all of you who're still following my blog. the picture blog post is underway; I'm still working on it. Trying to figure out the best way to post it. I think I might split the post up into two or three parts, with about two or three days in between for you guys to read through each post? Either that or I'll make a few slide shows I guess? So yup.

On a side note, I had a pretty good week today. Monday and wednesday with Daphne - thanks love~ Tuesday with someone else. Thursday at school, Friday with Jehanne at JE Library. Looking forward to next week's badminton with Lynn, hopefully she's free. Monday/Tuesday school seminar thingy. Seems pretty interesting, I might actually stay longer? Hmm. Gonna think up of ways to get out of the house more often... So here's a shout out: ANYONE OF YOU WHO WANTS TO GO OUT AND DO STUFF LEMME KNOW! That is, if you don't mind my coming with you =3

I guess I'm really incompetent sometimes ~

Hey there you guys,

Sorry for the lack of posts. I don't really have much to blog about really, nothing interesting's happening in my life so much as for me to blog about it. Just normal day to day activities, friends, and whatnot. Though for this post its to rant about my incompetency and of course to blabber about what's been going on lately~

When I get pretty immersed in watching anime or playing games, I tend to loose track of time and my mood to do "the more important things" gets kinda ..ruined? Not ruined in a bad way, its just that I don't feel like doing it just yet, you know? I like doing things when I see fit, so its bad when I don't feel like doing things that are more important, just yet.

OH! But its not like I watch anime alot during school semesters. I'm in holidays right now so I do whatever I want to. Its just that summer research has started so..

Well the schedule isn't tight or anything, its a "do it at your own pace" thing. I just have to go see the professor with my other group mate (Kay :3) whenever we're ready to proceed to each next stage. So its bad when I don't do my part. And well I wasted two days watching anime just because I was hooked onto re-watching them. I honestly couldn't stop watching because each story and episode connects everything together. So I've been sleeping late these days... And its also because I finally tried out this english otome game(made by fans for fans!), and got a lil hooked, though not as badly. I know when to stop the game when its time for me to.

(On a side note, man its a little hard to type what with my scalded hand still healing. The hardened brown patches make it difficult to stretch my hand. But ah well..)

Anyways, continuing, this otome game is great. I recommended it to Maybo, but I don't know if she's gotten it yet. (If you haven't, you're welcome to stop by my house ad try it out on my comp or something ;P). Anyone else who wants to try it(its a dating simulation game for females), here's a link to the resources you need:

sakevisual - RE:Alistair++

Its really rare to find ENGLISH otome games, and that this is FREE too! And the art is juicy. Its a really simple game, but aside from that, its very, very enjoyable. So if you're like me - a sucker for reverse harems, or have a spot for bishounen(handsome guys), and don't mind playing dating simulation(DS) games - TRY THIS OUT! Serious! I can't wait for their next DS game to be released, its called Hanamix2. Can't wait! Now I know otome games are pretty fun ;) I've always wanted to try one out, and now that I have, I pray I don't get too hooked and start buying a Nintendo DS or a PS 2/3 just to play the games =\! HENG MIN BETTER DON'T GET ME TOO HYPED UP! >_<

Anyways, the picture post. Well I told May Bo it'd be up soon, but alas, I've been occupied with the above mentioned activities that I haven't finished the editing, at all. So it'll take a while. And uh...its going to be a show off picture post sadly >_>

Okay okay, back to summer research. So the schedule is relaxed! So just keep me posted about any activities you guys wanna do with me, or if you wanna go out with me to walk and talk, or come over, etc. Just let me know, alright? I won't bite! ^_^

Daphne:
Hey dear, I've really been wanting to contact you these days to talk about the suggested meet ups. But its kinda hard for us to talk/sms over the phone >< You're having lessons at night, and me being lazy on the other hand... Hey, really, just make a few decisions on your own, and at your convenience, and tell me instead >_< Though I'll try my best to make arrangements too, with Lynn. AHHH!!! I really want to go over!!! But I don't like going over when I have school stuff going on ): AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! >< Dad tells me to relax and take these things as what I wanna do, as things that I enjoy. But its kinda hard, because afterall its SCHOOL stuff, you know? School = cannot relax. Its sad, but this is how I'm like x_x

Anyway, continuing, I'm honestly an incompetent ass! Goshhhhh, I really need to learn to discipline myself better!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! *Goes crazy*
