My sister sent me a song last night, that she had downloaded by mistake.
The second the song finished playing I realised it's the most beautiful song I have ever heard. I'm not just talking about the background music, but also and mostly about the so beautiful meaning of the lyrics.

I don't think a song has ever moved me the way this one has.
It speaks of elegant beauty. Of passion and freedom. Memories and longing. It's just such a masterpiece. I would like to share it with you for these reasons ;_;

Just when I thought I'd heard the most beautiful song ever, this one comes along and takes me to another world. Another time. And leaves me breathless with not enough words to express how wonderful it makes me feel.
I'm very familiar with Linda Eder. She's one of the best voices out there, in my opinion. This song being so painfully beautiful and sung by Linda Eder, was no news to me. I've always loved her songs.

Anyway, enough talk. I'll just go get some napkins ;_;
Enjoy the song~

Linda Eder - Vienna

Watching the rain fall in Vienna
Pictures of another time
From the corner of a small cafe
We watched the world go by

Now we sit here the best of strangers
We played the game for all it's worth
Endless nights in Vienna's eyes
Take me back again

'Cause in Vienna, we were poetry
Yes, in Vienna, love was alive
Watching you watching me
All that our eyes could see
All of the nights
We chased into the dawn
It was the best time of my life

We can't surrender to a feeling
That dance belongs to yesterday
Yet, I still hear Vienna's song
Take me back again

'Cause in Vienna, we were poetry
Yes, in Vienna, love was alive
Watching you watching me
All that our eyes could see
All of the nights
We chased into the dawn
It was the best time of my life

'Cause in Vienna, we were poetry
Yes, in Vienna, love was alive
Watching you watching me
All that our eyes could see
All of the nights
We chased into the dawn
It was the best time of my life~

Finally able to breathe ;_; when I say "uni kills", I mean uni kills, damnit. I'm going to sleep through the entire weekend.

So tired.

So exhausted.

2006-11-15T20:29:00.000+01:00

Mei! I came home from uni today (Wednesday) and I had a dispatch note waiting for me =D =D I had a hunch it was your package but I was unsure whether it was from you since you said it would take 12 days; you did send it on the 10th, was it?

Anyway, long story short; I picked it up and walked home all excited!

<333 *showers Mei with love and hugs*

Thank you babe~

Sidenote: Apparently (to a classmate), I look like Rachel Bilson (you know from The OC ?) B)

2006-11-11T18:59:00.000+01:00

My S.D. Perry books arrived <333 Can't wait to start reading them~~

2006-11-08T16:33:00.000+01:00

Let's see what Sarah has been spending her money on lately:

A) Moby Dick =D (the book, duh); the Oxford University Press version *love* <3

B) Four out of six of the Resident Evil (paperback) novels by S.D. Perry *MAJOR LOVE* <333 Resident Evil = pure love, love, looove~~

C) The amazing and awesome greatness on screen that is teh one and only Eddie Murphy <33; the Beverly Hills Cop complete line up (3 discs; all three movies) He's just awesome.

D) I finally found "Jingle all the way" on DVD here =D *so happy*; I've been looking everywhere for that family movie here, and it's all sold out; but Ginza.se had it and for a very good bargain ^-^

E) Resident Evil 4: Limited Edition (PS2) <33

... can't remember if there was anything else I had purchased xD But that'll do for mentioning now. Pretty much yeah I know, but my my; i'm in a book-buying craze xD *high fives Mei*

Oh yeah, I still want to buy a Go board with the stones and holders and all that =( But it's really expensive (the one I have my eyes on). Maybe someone can it for me for my birthday... (will have to link you to it next time so you can see photos of the pretty =) It's a shop in Stockholm that sells all kinds of pretty and elegant Japansese merchandise. Very pretty).
-- I always wanted one of those nice, traditional Go boards <33 *loves* Now there's one board game I can say, for a fact, I love.

Anyway, I found out I passed my anatomy exam I had last Friday! *bounce* <33 I was quite nervous for the results to be honest. I was sick today so my sister phoned me and asked me my personal code to retrieve my results from the board at the univ =)
Reason I was nervous was cause first of all, I had not answered three questions on the paper, I had mistaken sacrum for sternum (xD like wth, cause there's a big difference; I marked the ass instead of the torso xDDD).
I also was unsure of a two muscles; them latin names confused me =(

However, I hope I passed my computer science exam =| *knocks on wood and crosses fingers and hopes* Pray that I do! Love you <3

Naddie, not many days left till the Darin album arrives and I can send it =D Hopefully it's be signed as they promised.

Mei, I just want to say I'm really happy you liked the earrings and that the package (Jeeves) arrived undamaged. Also, I hope the b-day card was legible xD Cause, I was in a hurry when I wrote it down~~ x)

Shu, new blog url? Let me know? <3

...

I'm quite certain there was more I wanted to blog about... ah well, will fill you in on whatever, later if I do =)

Sidenote: Fearless featuring Jet Li is one of his better movies <33 (Jet Li = pure, pure <33); I recommend the movie~~
Go watch!

2006-10-23T18:19:00.000+02:00

Package posted and on it's way Mei =D
I really, really hope it'll arrive on Friday =/

*crosses fingers and hopes* <3

I've been in so much denial! >< I still have so much to do; cram, cram, cram! The exam is on Wednesday and I have a load to understand and memorize. Where are all the hackers when I need them? ;_; I need lots of help... I need some more inspiration =( PEP TALK PEOPLE! ;_;

Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds arrived in the mail a few days ago =). Am reading The Mosquito Coast presently. Weird intro...

Naddie: have you read or started reading Atlantis yet? I'll be reading it when I'm done with The Mosquito Coast =) oh and, not much left for celebration yeah? =D

Anyway, anyway! I can't remember what the initial point with this post was, so I'll have to get back to you =S

Gotta hit the books!

... computer science... yeah right... -_-

*Sidenotes* -- I still want the pink PSP =|

2006-10-19T15:07:00.000+02:00

If I had time I'd make perhaps a wallpaper featuring Hiro but I don't have the time; I have to cram for the annoying exam I'm having next week >=|

2006-10-17T13:37:00.000+02:00

I ACED my medical assignment! xDD

Remember the medical assignment I told you about before? The one I spent on studying for, for 12 hours non-stop for more than a week? Remember this post?

Well guess who got surprised when her sister came with the mail this morning and told her that both her sister and she got the highest mark and aced it? =D =D =D *excited here*

Why is Sarah this excited/surprised?

1) I wasn't sure I'd pass cause I wanted to write so much more (I esp wanted to expand the discussion part).
2) My sister and I are two of very few in our class that actually got the highest mark.
3) The teacher told me that "the assignment was absolutely brilliant" and that "I analyzed the litterature in a very bright and interesting way; presented in my work" <3 She loved it~

*Banzais and throws coloured glitter everywhere*

2006-10-16T22:22:00.000+02:00

So we talked about this and sorted stuff out; seems like when I butt in, from his point of view, I say it in a way that makes me very hostile and predator-like; allying with someone against him. And I told him how I loathe him being so immature all the time when things like that happen. Threats and bad language; not my style. I prefer discussions. I prefer to talk and sort things out. I told him that.

We talked about alot of other things and he gave me a hug in the end.

We'll see where this will lead us.

I have to talk to dad though... about stuff I said at the spur-of-the-moment when the anger was fresh. I might've hurt his feelings...

2006-10-16T19:48:00.000+02:00

Bitch fit; and the right to have one.

Guess who Sarah finally has come to terms with, hating almost the most out of all things and all living creatures on this planet and in her life?

Her elder, most-of-the-time-ass of a brother.

I remember being lethally angry with my brother before, hence posting about it. This being a long time ago. So this is only the second time I post about it. Why trouble myself with posting about it? I'm guessing 'cause I have to talk to someone about it and let it out; so yeah I'll talk to myself here. I've already talked to God and I blurted out a few things to my other two siblings. But other than that I need this to be posted so I'll feel a bit better.

Do you know he's actually still trying to (probably) scare me by saying he'll hurt me physically and mentally if I butt in when he's having a conversation with one of my siblings? He says he's tired of me saying anything at all when he's talking to, say my sister, when all I ever did say was correcting him when he said something wrong or that he insulted someone?

I just cannot believe he's still so immature and childish for the love of God. He never uses his brains. It's always about hurting someone physically. It's been like this ever since he was very young. Always coming with threats when it pleased him and hating the fact that others were right in a serious conversation and he wasn't. Point is, he'll be 25 years old in three months and he's still this immature. I'm so sick of his actions.

I've really had it with him being this way. We had another argument a month ago when he was telling my sister she should be ashamed of not having her driver's license yet (she's 19), and should have got it when she turned 18. I then said "it doesn't matter how old she is, she can take it whenever she feels ready to; would you like me to, for instance, tell you that you should be ashamed of not applying and attending uni right after high school instead of wasting two years wandering around doing nothing and just hanging out with friends (who did the same)?"

He went right ahead and said (in front of parents and sister mind you): "Shut the f*** up and eat crap". Believe that? *amused here*
When my parents got really angry with him and told him not to talk like that he just went right ahead and answered my mom "I don't care, she has no right butting in on someone elses conversation so she can just eat crap and shut the f*** up" (this being said in Arabic and let me tell you that this sentence/expression in Arabic has a stronger, more fierce meaning).

This was a month ago and we didn't 'speak' for three weeks almost. I'm still waiting for an apology from him which I know he'll never give me. So after three weeks I decided not to be as childish as him and talk to him normally if I needed to. So I did and he started talking to me 'normally' as well. I haven't forgiven him though. I will never do that unless he apologises. But God knows how many apologies he owes me for everything he's done for all these years. I've lost count.

So yeah, feel and think what you want about this, but I've come to a conclusion. And this conclusion says that I hate him more than I could ever hate anyone in this world right now.

I will not speak with him unless he apologises.

He's going down. Hard.

Happy Birthday Oshitari Yushi! <33 I forgot... no I was lazy to blog the day Tezuka had a birtdhay, because I had had so much to deal with at the university (I did wish him a happy one though in spite of my not posting about it); but Belated Happy Birthday Kunimitsu! <33 *love*

------------------

Anyway; how I adore the avatar I have up; of Oshitari and Gakuto (Tennis no Oujisama) <3 *adores to bits*
Isn't it the cutest?

Did you know, there will be a new TnO dating game out early in dec? I don't think them fangirls have finished obsessing over Gakuensai no Ohjisama yet to start squealing over this one as of yet.

*ponders*

I don't think I'd bring myself to play the game (if I had set my mind to it in the first place it would've been for the mere reason to watch the pictures and events xD), but I guess there's no harm in checking it out though.
I really can't wait to see the Rikkaidai musical cast in action =) Also, I wonder what the rest of the cast look like; I've only been able to see those who had a personal website (see previous post).

Furthermore; I'm looking forward to start sulking over the fact that they just love replacing the actor that does Kaidoh all the time. This Kaidoh (for the Rikkai musical) will not be the same as the one we saw last. I personally liked the very first Kaidoh on stage; he was so cute-ishly Kaidoh, as we know him in the anime.
I've heard Kachiro (or was it Katsuo? o_o) is being replaced as well...

Anyway, no sign of the books I ordered =/: "Jurassic Park" by Michael Crichton and "War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells. I have so many books now I could drown in them >D Banzai for novels! *winning pose*

Sidenote: has anyone dared to switch to the new blogger beta version? Encountered disadvantages?

Mei, I understand nothing of how to manage an LJ =( And so I don't feel like owning an account for that sake alone; I don't have time to learn how to do so either (by reading an entire FAQ) *sulks* I guess I need alot of time to think about the benefits of having one...
Your opinions?

2006-10-14T14:17:00.000+02:00

Finally there will be a Rikkaidai musical! It will be split into two parts (I think) and the cast has been announced!

Yukimura Seiichi: 八神蓮 (Yagami Ren)
Sanada Genichiroh: 兼崎健太郎 (Kanesaki Kentarou) (Site)
Yanagi Renji: 小野健斗 (Ono Kento) (Junon Boy)
Yagyu Hiroshi: 馬場徹 (Baba Tooru) (Site)
Niou Masaharu: 中河内雅貴 (Nakagauchi Masataka) (Junon Boy | Site)
Kuwahara Jackal: 夕輝壽太 (Yuuki Jutta)
Marui Bunta: 桐山漣 (Kiriyama Ren) (Site | Blog)
Kirihara Akaya: 大河元気 (Ookawa Kenki)

I can't wait! \^O^/

2006-10-06T14:57:00.000+02:00

Is it okay with you...

... ifIsighacoupleofahundredtimesbeforeIsayanything?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

*breathes*

Uni is draining all my energy ;_; *weeps* And I'm so tired of coming home by 7-8 pm everyday *weeps some more* And the professor isn't being very reasonable; he babbles through a hundred pages in only 15 minutes and I don't understand half of it! ;_; And for the love of God... Computer Science... curse computer science! CURSE!

>=

Sick of it! I need to stay focused on my studies but hardly find time to breathe; suggestions? ;_;

Sidenote: learning the Japanese phonetic alphabets now; hiragana, katakana ^-^ It's very interesting I must add~ Eventually I'll have time to learn Kanji, but It's along way there, in terms of time and knowledge, as of yet~ <3

PS! Belated Happy Birthday Atobe Keigo~ Also, Atobe Keigo's new album up for dl (released on his birthday, 4th of Oct) =D It's a great album; dl and enjoy~ *pokes Mei, grabs Chocolate and runs for her life*

2006-09-27T11:24:00.000+02:00

'Ello again everyone~

Have been too busy to blog lately as uni takes up all my time =( and God knows how much time I spent on just one assignment. I spent the entire last week studying for 12 hours non-stop each day; finished and went to bed at 3 a.m. on Friday (after studying for about 13 hours) and woke up three hours later to get ready for another day at the university till 4 p.m. (God, the lack of sleep really nagged at me *cries*); handed in my assignment on the same day and had an oral presentation, of a few questions my group and I worked with for an hour that day, to the entire class. Two of the groupmembers totally screwed up >.> won't mention names here *coughs* and practically embarassed the entire group xD Tche. Well at least I got my part right.

Bottom line; I never got any sleep that week ;_; and curse Linda if my assignment doesn't get the mark it deserves; I'm having the highest grade and that's that! >=| *hmph* Besides, I was pretty proud of my work when I finished the last page; although I wish I had more time to expand the "Discussion" part, but my assignment summed up to a total of 12 pages whereas she asked us not to exceed 8 pages of text =/ ah well.

Furthermore, on Saturday I had to wake up early to drive to Norrkoping and buy my precious PSP <3 I also bought TDR which I have been longing to play; Naddie: I still don't like Christie and I love kicking her butt xD
Played alot of bowling (in TDR) to gain lots of G's in order to buy different accessories for my players; some of them had quite the 'extreme makeover' xDD Like Chaolan and Julia; my sister had a total makeover with Panda and the funniest thing about that makeover was that you could buy the panda a tongue! It points upward during the entire battle; the whole time xDD It looks so dorky. I'll take a photo sometime and post it here *chuckles*

Also, next games to buy are "Loco Roco", "Mercury", "Tomb Raider: Legend", "Bubble Bobble" and "Talkman with mic". The latter is a voice-activated translation software application designed to test a player's fluency of a language. The "Talkman Euro" supports the languages: French, German, Spanish, Italian, Traditional Chinese and English. The version we have here "Talkman with mic" is just the same except instead of having the chance to learn Traditional Chinese you get to learn Japanese.
I do want to learn Japanese but Traditional Chinese is so tempting =| I wonder why we don't have that version. Oh well, either way I could just import the other version since, as I've heard, the PSP system is region-free when it comes to games =)

Naddie since one can play online against other players, maybe, just maybe, we can do some sparring or bowling or just fight against eachother? =D But I need more data to confirm. Will get back to you on that when I know some more. It would be hilariously fun though, don't you think? \^O^/

Anyway, I'm still waiting for my 2GB Sony Memory Stick though; I can't really use the PSP fully without some decent space to store things. Hopefully tomorrow or on Friday.
Aside that, ordered some 'How to learn some basics in Japanese' volumes. Some basics in hiragana, katakana and kanji. I'm contemplating on whether I have time to take up a few classes in Japanese at the university... I've got pretty much to do as it is =/ But I really, really want to learn. Ah well, I'll see about that. Also ordered vol 3 and 4 of the Kingdom Hearts manga =D I love that manga as much as I love the game. Very pretty and very saga-like, as many of you know. Pretty pictures. Pretty characters. Pretty story.

Got "The Mosquito Coast" by Paul Theroux in the mail yesterday =D So many books to read! So little time to do so!

Before I proceed with other ramblings; The Prince of Tennis OVA is getting more and more exciting! =D In Vol 4, ep 7 the Seishun boys go to the beach (yes including Tezuka xD you know he's fully healed now) to play some beach volleyball and they encounter Rokkaku there (no big surprise there) and Rokkaku's coach manages to choose and steal Ryoma's drink from the vending machine, as per usual xD Anyway, Ryoma's so cute in that episode <3 he's so hopeless at first whilst Tezuka gets all the points *cackles* It's so cute. And the episode is so hilarious. It's very seriously hilarious. You have no idea what Sumire does in this episode. You will be speechless if not fall over, rolling on the floor, laughing your arse off. So go dl and watch it xD Although keep in mind it's a RAW and hasn't been subbed yet. Here are a few caps xD:

Oh dear, I really feel for Ryoma and Tezuka xDD

Fasting is getting easier. It won't be easy next week though; lectures end at approximately 6 pm and I'll be home by 8 pm and then they've all eaten without me and my sister =( and I won't have time to do anything except eat and go to sleep in order to face another day at SU (Stockholm University; we'll be studying there for three weeks now and then go back to Karolinska).

We take classes at three different universities! ;_; "It's because you'll expand your knowledge more and be more sought after at the labour market after you graduate" is what some of them say -__- Tche. I realise all students all over Sweden (as far as I know it's within Sweden) do that; travel between different unis to gain diff kinds of knowledge and understanding. But it sucks; it takes up half my time just to get to the dang place =| On a long shot, it wears you out, so to speak.

All in all, I've rambled so much now I can't remember if there was anything else I wanted to mention x) So good day and take care! B)

PS: The new avatar (above my profile) is meant for Mei xDD

2006-09-20T14:03:00.000+02:00

Pictures of my lovely books~~ =D

See how thick "The Harsh Cry of the Heron" is? ;_; It's ebil!

Anyway, now I have all four books of the Otoris! <333 The most precious books I own. I love them so much \^O^/ [as you can see the previous three Tales of the Otori books are in Swedish (titles) and the last one I haven't read yet is in English xD I think I want to buy the other three in English. But I'll have to see about that. Not enough money right now >.> *hawks*

Also, the picture featuring "Atlantis" is a bit blurry [lazy to photograph it again B)] but at least you'll know what it looks like =D Isn't the cover pretty nice?

Last but not least, take a look at this beautiful picture of a rainbow which I took right outside the window of my room. This rainbow was huge. And when I say huge I mean really, really huge. And it looked like it stretched for miles and miles to infinity. It was so breathtaking and amazing. You must've been there to understand what I mean. Really. It was beautiful. I stood looking at it for at least 30 min non-stop.

Here you can see and estimate how huge it actually was [use the house as a counterpart]. This is only one fourth of what I could see of the rainbow outside of my window. God knows how huge it really was...

... and here's one photo where you can see how the second rainbow started showing just above the visible one! Look closely and you'll see it. It was so amazing. At first there was only one, but after a few minutes another one started showing. Pretty, no? *beams*

How long ago since I last saw a rainbow, let alone something as beautiful? So long I can't remember...

2006-09-19T17:12:00.000+02:00

So much to do! So little time! Other than that...

...I got Atlantis by David Gibbins today =D and Harsh cry of the heron by Lian Hearn yesterday =D *banzai* Can't wait to get started.
Will take a photo of the latter for next time; you have to see how thick it is *sulks* I don't like holding such thick books when reading. But the front cover is really beautiful~

2006-09-16T18:17:00.000+02:00

No one seems interested in the albums I have up for download =D Ah well, suit yourselves. I guess I'll take them down soon.

Before I say anything else; here's a photograph I've been wanting to share for some time now. I took it whilst sitting in the car, on my way to drop mum off at the airport in Stockholm.

Isn't the photo so beautiful? This is taken very early in the morning. Also, aside the fact that the photo turned out great; I believe the picture is extremely great in quality and sharpness for being a through-the-window photo taken in a moving vehicle. Agree? Agreed. I'm getting real good at this <3 Photography is so much fun.

Anyway, I have an assignment, to be typed up in a total of 8 pages, due Friday and I can't find the sheets online >=| According to Isma the teacher put it up online already for all MI students to download but I can't find the stupid thing =(
I want to get started early. Linda will probably talk about the assignment on Monday, but since I already know the sheets are available on the net I want to take a peek and make some estimations at present *sulks*

I want the books I ordered! And even though I want "Resurrection Men" by Ian Rankin to end already only for the cause that I'm so excited about the books I ordered, at the same time I don't want it to end because I just love John Rebus and Siobhan Clarkes' cases and adventures. Good thing Rankin decided to write a few books with the same characters featured and not just stick to one; after reading "The Falls" I really fell for them. I wanted to read more. And then I find out they're his main characters in a series of books he's written. Made my day <3

*sips tea*

Also, will watch Night 3 of The Triangle tonight =D Cause last night my sister and I managed to watch Night 1 and 2 before we fell asleep on the couch xD Or rather; my sister kind of fell asleep during the end of Night 2. As for me, I barely remember the end of Night 2 =S Twas quite late so yes, understandable.

Cbox is messing around again >=(
Oh and, just for the record; anonymous non-blogger users can comment now (to each post). I removed the protection in case anyone wonders ^-^ So if you're not a blogger user (meaning you'll have no name to input) and want to comment, do include your name in the message, please. Thank you.

Sidenote: Next book to buy; Battle Royale x) I buy far too many books. I'll be broke soon! *knocks on wood*
Somebody stop me o_o

2006-09-15T18:27:00.000+02:00

I ordered Atlantis by David Gibbins and Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux =D =D =D *banzais*

2006-09-15T16:30:00.000+02:00

A: I have lost count of how many cups of tea I've had today.
B: No sign of my POT manga in the mailbox as of yet. Have been waiting all week >=| Also, no sign of Lian Hearn's "Harsh cry of the heron" either >=| *sulks*
C: Night 1 of 'the Triangle' tonight =D Thrilling!

I bought this skin cleansing product (Vichy Normaderm) from the pharmacy to keep my skin clear from spots and stuff. My skin is pretty much spotless but I'd like to keep it that way so I thought I'd give this a try.

Anyway, there's this weird purifying toner liquid you use after cleaning your skin with a cleansing gel; now, I dont know what, on this earth, made me pour some of it in my hand and splash it on my face. I splashed it on my face. I can't believe I was so stupid. Immediately after doing so, I started coughing really bad cause the damn thing was so intense I inhaled like every chemical inside of it that my throat feels ultra dry now =( And my voice is kind of hoarse and weird after that =( I hope it goes away real soon or I'll need to go see my physician *knocks on wood three times*

HELLO! MY NAME IS SARAH! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? >D >D >D

...

I am having terrible cramps thanks to my period. I got it last night mind you and now I'm having my cramps. And this means I can't attend the lecture from 4- to 6 pm because I feel like sh**. But the lecture is mandatory =( ...

... DAAAAMN THEEEEEEM! *clenches fist whilst voice echoes and reverberates off the walls*

Hmm... I do like the VICHY lotion you put on last though. My skin feels like silk =^-^= *pretty*pretty*

Sidenote: would you take a look at the bunch of cute little grapes from our garden. Aren't they so pretty and cute? <333 and maybe you can't tell by looking at the picture, but that's alot of grapes. The tray they're on is like 40cm in diameter. And the pile was high =D And they're good too =D

2006-09-12T18:26:00.000+02:00

I overslept today! =D =D

I did hear the alarm clock cause I remember turning the damn thing off at 5.40 am. But apparently I went right back to la-la land again after that xD

And I missed a three-hour lecture! =D

And I'm semi-pissed! =D

Tomorrow the lecture is from 4 pm till 6 pm =(

And I... will be home by 8 pm.

...

Blast.

Sidenote: I already tagged you Shu, but again; I'm sorry ;_; and belated Happy Birthday sweet.

I was sooooo tired today. And now I'm even more exhausted. Had a major headache by the end of the day. Didn't want to listen to the teacher whilst I was there. Just wanted to go home. Two hours later by train, I grab something to eat at home and now I have to study to prepare for the lecture of tomorrow. I also have one long, entire chapter to read in 'health informatics'. I don't even have time to relax ;__; uni hates me *knocks on wood three times*

Maybe I'll read a book before I go to sleep. Resurrection Men by Ian Rankin (<3 *loves Rankin's work). Haven't finished that yet! ...

...yeah. that'll relax me a bit -__- *sighs*

Sidenote: new layout = new downloads and stuff. Battle Royale OSTs recommended <3

-- oh yeah the intended post about Hollywood celebrities... don't have the time or energy to write about that. Next time maybe...

NEW YORK - As pundits and policymakers scramble to explain events in Lebanon, their conclusions are virtually unanimous: Hizbullah created this crisis. Israel is defending itself. The underlying problem is Arab extremism.

Sadly, this is pure analytical nonsense. Hizbullah's capture of two Israeli soldiers on July 12 was a direct result of Israel's silent but unrelenting aggression against Lebanon, which in turn is part of a six-decades long Arab-Israeli conflict.

Since its withdrawal of occupation forces from southern Lebanon in May 2000, Israel has violated the United Nations-monitored "blue line" on an almost daily basis, according to UN reports. Hizbullah's military doctrine, articulated in the early 1990s, states that it will fire Katyusha rockets into Israel only in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanese civilians or Hizbullah's leadership; this indeed has been the pattern.

In the process of its violations, Israel has terrorized the general population, destroyed private property, and killed numerous civilians. This past February, for instance, 15-year-old shepherd Yusuf Rahil was killed by unprovoked Israeli cross-border fire as he tended his flock in southern Lebanon. Israel has assassinated its enemies in the streets of Lebanese cities and continues to occupy Lebanon's Shebaa Farms area, while refusing to hand over the maps of mine fields that continue to kill and cripple civilians in southern Lebanon more than six years after the war supposedly ended. What peace did Hizbullah shatter?

Hizbullah's capture of the soldiers took place in the context of this ongoing conflict, which in turn is fundamentally shaped by realities in the Palestinian territories. To the vexation of Israel and its allies, Hizbullah - easily the most popular political movement in the Middle East - unflinchingly stands with the Palestinians.

Since June 25, when Palestinian fighters captured one Israeli soldier and demanded a prisoner exchange, Israel has killed more than 140 Palestinians. Like the Lebanese situation, that flare-up was detached from its wider context and was said to be "manufactured" by the enemies of Israel; more nonsense proffered in order to distract from the apparently unthinkable reality that it is the manner in which Israel was created, and the ideological premises that have sustained it for almost 60 years, that are the core of the entire Arab-Israeli conflict.

Once the Arabs had rejected the UN's right to give away their land and to force them to pay the price for European pogroms and the Holocaust, the creation of Israel in 1948 was made possible only by ethnic cleansing and annexation. This is historical fact and has been documented by Israeli historians, such as Benny Morris. Yet Israel continues to contend that it had nothing to do with the Palestinian exodus, and consequently has no moral duty to offer redress.

For six decades the Palestinian refugees have been refused their right to return home because they are of the wrong race. "Israel must remain a Jewish state," is an almost sacral mantra across the Western political spectrum. It means, in practice, that Israel is accorded the right to be an ethnocracy at the expense of the refugees and their descendants, now close to 5 million.

Is it not understandable that Israel's ethnic preoccupation profoundly offends not only Palestinians, but many of their Arab brethren? Yet rather than demanding that Israel acknowledge its foundational wrongs as a first step toward equality and coexistence, the Western world blithely insists that each and all must recognize Israel's right to exist at the Palestinians' expense.

Western discourse seems unable to accommodate a serious, as opposed to cosmetic concern for Palestinians' rights and liberties: The Palestinians are the Indians who refuse to live on the reservation; the Negroes who refuse to sit in the back of the bus.

By what moral right does anyone tell them to be realistic and get over themselves? That it is too much of a hassle to right the wrongs committed against them? That the front of the bus must remain ethnically pure? When they refuse to recognize their occupier and embrace their racial inferiority, when desperation and frustration causes them to turn to violence, and when neighbors and allies come to their aid - some for reasons of power politics, others out of idealism - we are astonished that they are all such fanatics and extremists.

The fundamental obstacle to understanding the Arab-Israeli conflict is that we have given up on asking what is right and wrong, instead asking what is "practical" and "realistic." Yet reality is that Israel is a profoundly racist state, the existence of which is buttressed by a seemingly endless succession of punitive measures, assassinations, and wars against its victims and their allies.

A realistic understanding of the conflict, therefore, is one that recognizes that the crux is not in this or that incident or policy, but in Israel's foundational and per- sistent refusal to recognize the humanity of its Palestinian victims. Neither Hizbullah nor Hamas are driven by a desire to "wipe out Jews," as is so often claimed, but by a fundamental sense of injustice that they will not allow to be forgotten.

These groups will continue to enjoy popular legitimacy because they fulfill the need for someone - anyone - to stand up for Arab rights. Israel cannot destroy this need by bombing power grids or rocket ramps. If Israel, like its former political ally South Africa, has the capacity to come to terms with principles of democracy and human rights and accept egalitarian multiracial coexistence within a single state for Jews and Arabs, then the foundation for resentment and resistance will have been removed. If Israel cannot bring itself to do so, then it will continue to be the vortex of regional violence.

I needn't say anything, but nod my head in agreement and be sad over the fact that not many can 'see' what's going in this world.
I'm so sick of all of this. I'm so tired of ppl being so blind to right and wrong.
May God bless the innocent. May God condemn the guilty that take courage enough to wear the mask of innocence yet still intrude and destroy. May them all burn in hell.

Uni tomorrow! Yayness!... ... -__- yeah right; not when you have to wake up 5.30 in the morning and catch an early train at 7 o'clock and then take the bus to Karolinska.

As all should know last year I applied for a different programme (it used to be Medicinal Technology); Medical Informatics.
My goal and dream is to be able to do research (diseases and likewise) when I'm done majoring; quoting "Graduates of this programme are qualified to undertake doctoral studies".

I have alot to say about how happy I am they accepted me and my sister; Karolinska is a medical university with only a small amount of places on each study programme and if you're not close to/are a straight A-student, then tough -__-

So have been waiting for a whole year to hear from them and finally I qualified.

!!! =D

Anyway, will tell you all about that later. Have to go to sleep.

Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to form,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.

Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity
of this still life.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
Oh, you won't catch me around here.

Blood and tears,
They were here first.

What you say?
That you only meant well?
Well, of course you did.

What you say?
That it's all for the best?
Ah, of course it is.

What you say?
That it's just what we need?
And you decided this.

What you say?
What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.

Speak no feeling, no I dont believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.

Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.

2006-08-10T12:34:00.000+02:00

I am so proud of this man.

Finally someone speaks up on national TV to tell truth and finally someone who realises what the hell is really going on in this world and finally someone who doesn't close his/her eyes to reality.

The whole fu**ing world thinks Israel never did a damn thing. And no one wants to believe how involved Bush and Blair is in all of this.

Well in your fu**ing face.
Watch the video. It'll amaze you.

All I want to say; I love this man. Every single word he says is true to one hundred per cent. If you don't believe this or contemplate whether to believe him, then you don't know a damn thing about what's really going on in this world.

Banzai Galloway!

2006-08-06T18:33:00.000+02:00

Okay.

Aside the fact I still want that Syusuke card I mentioned a few posts back, I really, really, really really want Carnie Wilson's album (released in May this year 2006) called Mothers Gift: Lullabies From The Heart. The tracks are really nice. Search for it at amazon if you'd like to listen to some samples.

It's so pretty ;__; I want!

But I can't find it here... =|

2006-08-04T21:11:00.000+02:00

Goodbye stupid Megaupload.
Finally; uploaded the Lifescapes tracks at Savefile. I just realised I've downloaded files using Savefile before but never really payed any attention to what host is actually was >.> Anyway, it's way easier (thank you Mei <3). Just click the link and it will take you to the download page where all the tracks are.

I also added Atobe Keigo's latest single Charm Point wa Nakibokuro. The end of the song is so fun xD When they start talking and then they (Hyotei regulars) have to spell out Atobe's name *laughs*. Also, when he counts to four in German x) Listen to it.

Download and enjoy! =D

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

I love you
And I've loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

I wanted you to stay
I need to hear you say
That I love you
And I've loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you any more
Believe it

Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing,
'Cause i'm not leaving you any more
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go...

2006-07-30T14:27:00.000+02:00

Okay I had the weirdest dream last night.

Ryoma (tenipuri) was in the dream, he was sitting on the floor in a livingroom by a low-set table and drawing pictures and stuff. I went to sit beside him and then he happily (kind of) showed me some of his drawings, and something in particular caught my attention on that first sheet he handed me. I don't remember what the picture looked like (I believe it was merely a sketch?), but to the side of it he'd written something in French o_o (comments of the sketch or a message to me?)

Okay, so my first thought was "he knows French as well?" and got all excited (not openly of course). I just looked at him and smiled, and then I looked back at the sheet to read some of what was written on it. The only thing I remember was two words in the middle of a sentence; au lois.

My French is way too rusty so when I woke up I didn't really know what au lois meant and why I read just that in my dream (and I wasn't sure that that was exactly what I read). Also, I was a bit freaked I remembered what I read in the dream. So I turned on my laptop and looked it up at altavista.

My first thought was "it won't translate it, I mean why should it; I probably didn't even read it correctly in the dream" etc etc. However, when I typed it in there was a translation!

Au lois in French means "with the laws".

!!!

Can you believe that? I've had dreams before where I could read messages or numbers or names or whatever, but then haven't been able to remember the message when I woke up. And scientists say most of us (that saying more than 90 per cent) won't remember letters and numbers when we wake up and most probably won't read/be able to read them in the dream.

I don't know why this freaks me out, but the fact that I remembered the words correctly and the fact that it means something; with the laws... ><
I wonder what it's supposed to mean. Au lois...?

The whole dream was a total mix I know, I mean come on, Ryoma? *chuckles* It's weird. Come to think of it, it's not the first time Ryoma's been in of my dreams.

But oh my, I'll be freaked about this till I know why I got that message through a dream and what it's supposed to mean to me. I think it's a piece of a puzzle I need to solve.

Call me crazy, but I'm set on finding out what all of this means.

Have I mentioned I'm back to being obsessed with Suwabe Junichi's (as Keigo Atobe) songs "Believe In You" & "Cross with you"? The songs are pure LOVE <3 Makes me want to run around, dance, sing along and headbang x)

DON'T LET ME DOWN!

LET'S CHANGE THE WORLD!

BELIEVE IN YOU!

Which reminds me! Next set of musicfiles will be Suwabe only >D Will add songs mentioned above as well as "October" (Gah! I love October *melts* The classical touch to the song makes it so much more beautiful ;__; *weeps*) and also a few others I like by him. Har har har~

...

Sozan called me this morning and said we couldn't meet 'cause little Kevin was sick and he had to go on a check-up =(

Ah well, the health of Kevin goes first. We need to reschedule *ponders*

Do you know, I was up and preparing dinner and cleaning both 1st and 2nd floor of our house starting 11 am till 8 pm? I can hardly walk straight nor can I stand straight ;__; My brothers never help me, they only take and never give. My sister can help sometimes (without being asked, and that is saying she has a will to be of help), but most of the time she needs to be told what to do to actually do it. But at least she helps out.

And do you think anyone in this family listens to me when I ask them to help me? No. I just realised I do all this work day in and day out, out of respect for my parents. If not for my parents, with this kind of disrespect from my siblings, I wouldn't do squat for them. To put it clearly, I wouldn't give a rat's behind to clean up after them or anything likewise. They seem not to show any kind of appreciation.

I appreciate help and consideration. I've done this for so many years now (at my parents request), my siblings got so used to it, it's like they now subconsciously expect someone else to clean up after them.

SO.

I WANT TO SAY.

BLOODY HELL.

WHY CAN'T UNI START SOONER?!

I want to get out of here and I want to study! And I want to find an apartment close to uni but it's so idiotically impossible to do so in Stockholm. Someone buy me a mansion? Make sure to include a private agent, a private physician (so I can dump the present one), a private driver (Ferrari or likewise please, not a lousy, ugly Limousine) and the daily basis essentials.

Should I stop day-dreaming now?

Yeah...

ALAS! Time for some Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness *shivers* I love that game x) But not before I get myself a cup of hot vanilla-flavoured Lipton Sun Tea B)

Went to Åhlens today to buy my friend Sozan a gift for her 3-week-old baby, Kevin. She finally agreed to name the cutiepie (saw a photo of him and his parents in the paper this morning =D). She and her husband weren't on agreeable terms with the names, but in the end they called him Kevin.
Phoned her today, meeting up with her tomorrow, after I've watched an episode of 'Days of our lives' x) What is Dimera up to with all that will talk anyway? B)

And Naddie; If I didn't know better, I'd say my physician is trying to get me FAT! x) but seriously I'm supposed to weigh more but I never really cared for my weight that much. Guess cause I never really had problems with anything (bless).

Omg, am using my mom's computer (near the living room) to blog, and I just turned my head to see what was on the news and there it was; the now renowned Zidane-head-butt xD I strongly believe Zidane had very good reasons to act like that. I'm pretty positive the Italian football player threw a racial prejudice of some kind at him. But I'm not the kind to judge beforehand. I'll just wait to hear Zidane's side of the story.

Can you believe Italy won? I really wanted Brazil to win ;__; And wasn't Shakira supposed to sing "Hips don't lie" after the final? If she did, then bloody Swedish TV4 never broadcasted it ;__;

Anyway, Mei; I can't believe Chocolate attacked the birds xD Bad kitty! *chuckles* Isn't she just nasty when she wants to be? Oh, but that'd be a part of her charm m'dear B)
Oh and, haven't tried reuploading the tracks at Savefile yet. Will do at my earliest convenience. The tracks are great.

...

I miss mom so much; it's only been three days since she left for her 3-week vacation, and it's already getting to me somehow. I mean I'm doing okay, but it feels so different. I hope she's having a great time though and I hope God keeps her safe.

2006-07-06T19:23:00.000+02:00

Mmm... so what do you think?

Oh, and the text in the picture is in Arabic for the first time =D
Looks nice, the letters are really beautiful. And I'm still learning how to spell some words right in various areas x) I wish I could speak as well as I understand people's daily basis conversations.

My parents speak mostly a kind of slang (only spoken by the people in Iraq), but they urged and signed us up for after school lessons in Arabic to learn to speak and write the langauge of the books, ever since we were kids.

The 'slang' is kinda okay, but I really love the Arabic you find in books and literature. The 'original' language. The common tongue~

But as I said, I'm learning =)

I couldn't decide whether to put Yushi or Seiichi, cause both of them pictures were really nice I felt like using them both. But in the end I decided I'd put Seiichi on hold and go for Yushi this time. Besides they're both nice, so whichever is cool.

As a sidenote: I finally got the Karate Kid 3-DVD box collection x) I had to wait for so long cause I wanted the UK version. But finally, finally, finally. Classic!

Also! New musicfiles in the music section. This time a few tracks from the Lifescapes album. They're so relxing and beautiful. I'm a sucker for wind instruments, especially the Antara Pan Flutes and the Zamponia Pan Flutes. I highly recommend the tracks if you like the feel of nature and the unknown mystery of life B)

Let me know if you'd like the remaining tracks of the album.

...

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE BRAZIL LOST! ;__; Poopie.

Now I'm hungry...

We hired a professional photographer two weeks ago to take photos of my family and I. Yesterday was the day we were photographed. The location was a beautiful place near a forest and alot of grassy fields. Cows on the far end of the approx. five big grassfields xD
I visited them before the shooting and after. I think one felt threatened by my being so close to it when it was eating *giggles*

Anyway, so as the photographer decided how we were supposed to stand and where the best light was and discussing everything with us etc etc, them huge, fat, bloody mosquitoes were all around!

They bit all of us and they were especially fond of yours truly ;__; and and, and my arms icth ;__; and it's horrible *sulks*

I want to be able to blog in my own mother tongue ;__; but it's so difficult when you don't have a keyboard with the letters printed on the buttons. I know there's the sticker method. But I don't know where to find those ;__;

Also, I want to be able to blog here, in Swedish as well sometimes. I mean, the only problem is the three last letters in the alphabet that have dots on them get screwed up when I post them in blogger; I know I can only type in English; but maybe I should get myself an LJ account? But I'm not sure I can keep my tagboard then can I? LJ users you may answer~ >D

And I really like blogger alot... if only they'd allow other languages...

Suggestions~~~

Finally came around to shoot some pics of my Sephy figurine! Some are a bit blurry and/or dark but I like them that way. I couldn't do anything about some of them. But most of them are nice. Anyway, here's a link to view the pictures in a slideshow =)

Sephiroth FFVIIAC Figurine - Slideshow

2006-06-11T16:16:00.000+02:00

I forgot to announce I got my Sephiroth figurine!!! The Final Fantasy VII Advent Children one. He's so detailed and gorgeous <33

I need some good daylight to shoot some decent pictures; coming up soon! =D

Also, I forgot to mention the prank all the boys in my brother's class pulled; you see last year they had all stuck a photo of their principal's head on Superman's body and printed it in loads xD The principal found out of course and scolded them. On their graduation day yesterday, they had enlarged that merged photo and stuck it on their carriage at the back and sides. And below it, it says I (insert heart here) IT3 (which is their class code) xDDD

They frequently pulled pranks on their principal during their three years in high school. They got detentions, scoldings, punishments and God knows what for all that xDD And in the end they all cheered for him at the ceremony when he got on stage and he knows they respect him and think he pwns all xD *laughs*

Anyway, I don't know... or um... I know I shouldn't upload this picture, but this is a private blog so there shouldn't be any problems. Don't spread the picture, please. Thx.

Enough talking then! Here's the photo xD

New theme; equilibrium. I love that word. I always have. Equilibrium is just... me. Totally. I may have been born a Sagittarius, and Sagis do have a sense of justice; but I'm a pure libra when it comes to justice and order in it's pure sense (I believe in a past life I was a libra? xD)

I'm so all about right and wrong and justice overall it surprises me, sometimes, why the heck I didn't choose to become an attorney. But only sometimes =D

Equilibrium.

EQUILIBRIUM.

Equilibrium. Equilibrium. Equilibrium. Equilibrium. Equilibrium. Equilibrium. Equilibrium... o_o *pant*puff* <3 LOVE! =D

Today was my sister and brother's high school graduation day. My brother goes to a different high school, so we had to split up; I went with dad to attend my brother's graduation ceremony, and my elder brother and mum attended my sister's.

After that we assembled, as usual, down town to watch them ride the cars/carriages; the grad students all have a certain, personally decorated carriage for each class (they're in), and the driver drives them around town and other places whilst they sing their special song (each class has their own) or if they don't have any specific song (which they should have) they just (as everyone else will do inbetween lyrics anyway) simply shout and jump around like monkeys xD and scream their lungs out and shout some more and drink and throw balloons (my dad almost got hit by a balloon filled with water xD) and flowers xD

I understand their bubbly, cheery mood; my HS graduation day was a blast. This was a FUN RUCKUS!

I took a few photos of the students; I won't upload any photos of my family members. I will, however, upload of a few others that show just as much (click the photos to view them in a bigger size):

The train-like one that says "IT3" (class code) on a sign is my brother's graduating class, and the one that says "Nyskilda antligen" (which means "finally divorced" xDD wth?!) is my sister and her graduating class' xD My brother and his friends (class) had the cutest one! =D It was so cool. First graduating class to ever do something like that. But I think they had to 'put up' with that cause they couldn't afford/find a bigger one xDDD *laughs* Or simply a one-big-size carriage xD

I also have very short video clips of the students in the cars (the second one is only 5 secs long xD but do watch it; that is a part of many other things of how we celebrate high school graduations in Sweden):

-- Video Clip 01

-- Video Clip 02

... and don't complain about the filming, it's a long story -__-

It was a fun day, although this year there were less classes/students graduating than years prior to it *shrugs*

I've uploaded the new songs! From Tomb Raider: Legend. I like all of these tracks, but I personally favorise "Himalaya (Nepal)", the beginning/first song of "Ending Credits" and also "Croft Manor". Lovely tracks~

You know I'm a Tomb Raider girl =D~ [<-- omg look, my smiley got himself a beard >.>]

New music tracks up soon. I think this time the theme will be games. I was thinking some tracks from one of my favourite games, Tomb Raider Legend~
The music in this game is so great and amazing. Troels Brun Folmann is the composer and in some of the tracks, the amazing Ailein Duinn's voice reverberates. I just love her voice so much.
Much like Enya but still unique and proud.

Anyway, music up soon!

Rikku, you big slack-off; go study for your exam!

Sidenote: The Swedish Flag Day (1916) became Sweden's National Day in 1983 (my birthyear is just so cool xD). So yeah, Sweden's National Day today, on the 6th of June~

The Negotiator (1998) is one of the best movies ever made (I watched it again tonight with my sister xD talk about thrilling). There isn't one movie where Samuel L. Jackson doesn't 'kick serious butt'. He is one of my all time favourite actors ever.

Whichever movie Samuel's in turns out to be great. I'm telling you, I get like glued to the television whenever he's on the screen. It's like you're there in the scene being a part of the whole ruckus.

Amazing.

Happy birthday Cecilia! 22 years! <3

Glitter, cookies and sprinkles and stuff o_o... yeah o_o.

Erm...

Anyway!

Today I.was.very.busy.busy.busy! Mainly spending the entire day to help look for something nice my baby sister can wear on her high school graduation. And since it has to be, basically, all white it wasn't easy at all (Sweden - Girls: all white + sailor beret-like cap - Guys: pref. black or navy suit + sailor cap).
They should have shops specifically for graduation suits and outfits and stuff. Have they ever even thought of that? >=|

Anyway, that's beside the point.

I hadn't slept much, three hours at most actually. And we were to leave early in the morning since we were driving to another city about one and a half hours away from home. Brought my dig camera xD as always; mostly to practice but also to take some nice photos (never came around to actually produce the latter). I took a few during the drive home from the carseat through the window. Some were amazingly and surprisingly sharp, others (most of them) not. Even though it's diff to obtain sharper images on moving objects (and when you yourself can't really hold the cam still) I know I still need alot of practice. Photoshooting is fun, so this'll be interesting.

Anyhow.

Will post more later and perhaps upload some of them photos if my mood is in an approving state-of-mind ^__~

*yawns*

...too tired to blog now.

Going to sleep.

Night.

2006-05-21T14:53:00.000+02:00

Okay getting better now.

2006-05-20T01:13:00.000+02:00

I'm having such a terrible cold it's killing me ;__;
I can't breathe through my nose and it's difficult to get any sleep at night. And I constantly have to blow my nose. Where's the comfort? ;__;

Except for Vicks, tea and vitamin pills; what can I do or consume to get better sooner? Any ideas?

Please?

;__;

*faints*

I.really.hate.suffering.from.pollen.allergy.

It's worse for everybody this year because of the fact the amount of pollen in the air per square meter is alot more than any year prior; except for the year 2003; they say that year was hell this time around, although I don't recall it.
In fact, I haven't had any problems with pollen allergies before (except for when I was around 9-10 -_-).

Furthermore, my allergy is not that bad, but it's annoying and I just got sick. Also, I just got my period yesterday and the cramps do.not.help.at.all.

Anyway, I just woke up and I had to blog this >=

Does anyone know any good body lotion to recommend? I'm currently using Nivea Soft (face and body) but my skin has been so dry these past few days it's not really helping that much. I've been thinking about trying out Dove or maybe just stroll down to the pharmacy and ask for some advice.

Alas; recommendations?

Greetings!

Different layout. Different day. Different mood.

It's so tiring to have to do so much in such little time under such pressured circumstances. I haven't been blogging for a long time and I haven't spoken with alot of my friends. There are many reasons although nothing personal of course. I've had alot of issues to deal with and hey; don't we all have busy lives nowadays? =)

Anyway.

What was I going to say... oh yeah. The Prince of Tennis OVA is cool. I really can't wait for the second one to air. About time Seigaku kicked some serious butt.
I personally think they should have extended the amount of OVAs as seven (?) episodes doesn't seem to be enough? What do you think?

If you are one of those who go "what?" when I say "Prince of Tennis" I will slap you across the face personally. So anyway, aside the slap give it a shot. It's a nice storyline. And of course them gorgeous players ^__~

Hmm.

It's May already. Summer vacation arriving soon! I wonder what I'll come up with then. I do know I'm going to practice some photography skills; my dig. camera really owns. The pictures have such pretty colours and it's quite easy and fun to use.

SONY.

I love their stuff.

Anywaaaay~

Time for something to eat. Starving.
Another episode of 'LOST' tonight! Can't wait!

Sidenote: I had to create a whole new blogger account because of that stupid, useless "errorsafe" warning keeps popping up despite my blocking of them. And it's still popping up when I'm in my new account! Does an "errorsafe" message pop up when you enter your blogger site as well? Let me know if it does.
