猫 Superstar

I went out tonight with my Mom, Dad, Tita, and Baby Betchay… where to? Ah, it was is my baby sister’s first Trick or Treat experience! LOL! I was gonna bail but my parents insisted that I go to bear witness in this monumental occasion and so I went… We drove to Larchmont and just looted candies… Hahaha… I was the official photographer and being the bad shot that I am, well, you know every picture I took was awkward and the good ones, if any are products of pure luck or some divine intervention.

I saw this cute boy wearing the Santa Claus outfit plus an Afro and a boom box to match. He is freakin cute and tall. But then again I think he’s only 15… or younger… so instead of groping him amidst the sea of toddlers in fairy and superhero costumes, I contented myself by having a picture of us taken. Plus, being a cradle snatcher is not one of my life goals.

My backache is getting better… and I had an hour of extra sleep because of the wonderful idea called Daylight Savings Time… lol…

I got my sister a gift from Amazon and it should be here by her birthday. Ahh… the power in the Internet, sixteen numbers, and an expiration date.

Guess I should end this as I have to wash the dishes, clean baby bottles, boil water (for the baby), sweep the kitchen floor, take a shower, and read a chapter of ‘Spiritual Combat.’ Till next time Amigos.

P.S. I am currently totally nuts about Faye Wong… and some Korean or Jap videos at Youtube… these two are my favorites… Kiss  *  FullHouse … they are understandable as I am notoriously known to be a sucker for these kinds of things. See ya!

I’ve been having this killer backache for days… I couldn’t even bend to pick something up… it started about 3 days ago when the lower part of my back was aching (probably from too much sitting in front of the PC) and my tita suggested that she step on my back for a "massage" (think Lucy Liu in Charlie’s Angels, minus the sexy voice and the ‘Banzai!’)… My tita is very, very, very thin so I figured that she would be very, very, very light–that’s the problem with deduction… Well, I was "cured" for a day as the aches went away (whoa! rhyme!) but the next day, it proved to be one of the worst ideas ever to appear in the face of this planet… Not only did my lower back ached but the whole of my back–but it doesn’t stop there, my thighs and hips are also aching… I still have the aches and I think it’s getting worse! Agh! I resorted to Salon Pas (that stick on menthol thing) and it does relieve my backache for a couple of hours, the only drawback is that it sticks too much on my skin so everytime I need to replace it, it’s like getting a wax job. It hurts and it stings like shit! And I’m losing very important body hair! LOL…

I watched about 6 episodes of the Anime ‘Peach Girl’ this afternoon and well, I didn’t make it. It was all too much for me… The story was okay, the whole love triangle and shit, but what bothered me alot was the other character Sae who is the back-stabbing, manipulating, lying, every bad adjective bitch. She is horrible and I really pray that I don’t meet anyone like her. I told you I get too attached to things like that… I just sort of consider those characters as "real." I promise I am still sane… this is just a product of my lack of endorphins…

What else is there to say? I can’t think of anything else… but I’ll post again soon.

P.S. A question… If you are to watch the same full length movie 10 times every day for the rest of your life, what movie would you choose? The answer to the question "And why?" is optional.

Katherine is in love! Yes, I am in love… once again with fictional characters… Hehehe… Yesterday, I finished watching the entire story of Honey and Clover and I am very satisfied with the story. As you all know that I am a sucker for love stories due to my idealistic nature and lack of some love action in my life, I  happen to devote my too many free time in the fantasy world… Honey and Clover was definitely not a waste of time. Being the person with a difficulty of moving on, I am still hung over the story and well, I very much understood what the story was saying… I love Takemoto’s character very much… The story’s main theme is love, but for me, the theme of "real" life" (except for Morita) and heartbreak also took the platform. Yet, it was a good, balanced, and beautiful story. Not to mention the wonderful music. You guys should DEFINITELY check it out (have I emphasized this enough?). There’s a couple of free fansubs for the series but to make sure you see all of the episodes, subscribe to Narutofan or you can burn some serious cash and buy the DVD… I am planning to get the Soundtrack but I’ll get them some other time…

I got my Kare Kano manga series today.. I ordered 6 volumes just to be on the safe side–or so I thought. It is my first manga so I thought that in case I don’t like it, I only bought 6 of them (I don’t like returning stuff, plus, I am pack rat so I don’t like disposing of things that passed through my hands, whatever it was). To my big surprise, I enjoyed them so much that I breezed through all 6 volumes in a day… it would have been more if I had the rest of them. Anyways, I ordered the last 11 volumes so I am looking forward to getting them by Monday… Hoarder you say? Hehe…

Here’s a couple of other title’s I am looking into… In case you want to get me something for Christmas, I am giving you this list… LOL… Nope, hints longer serve a purpose in this world… Say what you want to get what you want…

1. Love Hina

2. Honey and Clover (yeah, I still want the manga…)

3. Full Metal Alchemist

4. Hunter X Hunter

5. Fruits Basket

6. Road Song

If you want to sample some yourself, go to Tokyopop.

If you want to watch Kare Kano for free (at least the first couple of episodes), download it from Limewire or Bearshare. I am not sure if Bearshare has it but there are definitely some in Limewire.

So that should do it… I’ll be posting some more stuff tomorrow or some other day… which reminds me… I am out of bandwidth in Narutofan and Episode 157 is already out. Shit.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

P.S. Series of Unfortunate Events book 12 (Penultimate Peril) is already out too… Too many cool things, too little money! Dang!

Been a long time since I posted… Anyhoo, time for updates… And to make sure I don’t leave anything out, I will do it by the number…

1. I tried doing that whole CSS thing and it almost killed me. I was doing pretty well with HTML (not to mention stealing and modifying codes) when this CSS (and Flash, etc.) thing ruined it! Just why would they want to develop anything else?

2. I applied to all the colleges that qualified my meager GPA (don’t ask what it is) and I am awaiting the final judgment… Pray, pray, pray for me… If I don’t get in any of the colleges, I have a fall back plan which is…

**Join the Army**

3. If I get in a good college and if I end up not being able to pay for my loans, I have a good source of money for repayment… which is…

**The Army**

LOL!

4. I have a case of Anime mania at the moment…

a. I finally caught up with Hunter X Hunter after three long years…

b. I also caught up with my Naruto… I am having a major crush with Neji… Teehee! I didn’t know I had a thing for guys with white eyes… Hehe…

c. Did I hear KARE KANO??? My goodness! I downloaded episodes 1 to 7 from LW and I am going gaga for Yukino and Akima! Love! Love! Love!

– I ordered the Manga last night so I should be getting it from Barnes & Noble by Wednesday…

– I also ordered the DVD Box Set from Amazon… Makes me wonder how my non-existent money keeps me getting all these things…

d. I read some Full Metal Alchemist manga online and I am hooked (thanks to Ambo Sensei, I know how to properly read manga. Your guidance have served me well. Hihihi)… I want to get my hands on some of those manga too… I think I read them on Tokyopop or some other manga site…

5. I received the CD from Under the Radar and I got Marianne Faithful. I hated it. Personally, I think I her music was too ‘mature’ and poetic for my taste.

6. Speaking of Under the Radar, I got my first issue last week… Ah, the feeling of immersing yourself into the Indie music culture felt refreshing and well, actually weird. I am enjoying myself since Pop can never give me anything that can compare to Saint Simon, Mary Jo, and Scar. Don’t get me wrong though, I love Pop…

7. My sister is turning one on November second… Anyone up for some wholesome, kiddy party on All Soul’s Day is welcome. RSVP is required (so we’ll know how much puto and palabok to order).

8. I will be off to San Francisco on November for some much needed vay-cay! Woot. I was supposed to go to Texas first but since my two idiot brother didn’t want to go, my parents asked me to stay with those two as a look out. Geez. But that’s fine, I guess my parents need some time for themselves too…

9. I want some Vanilla or Chocolate pudding, will you get me some?

10. It’s almost the end of October and the weather is getting colder and colder. Well, it’s really cold already… I’m loving it!

11. I am going loco for The Beach Boys! Hahaha! Well, ‘Kokomo’ and ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ are way cool songs…

Wow, I posted alot of crap… There is much more but I will be posting them some other time. I will be downloading some new animes to watch… I am currently a subscriber at Narutofan.com… they have great anime (other than Naruto and Hunter X Hunter) archives for about $3/month. You might want to check it out.

See you around.

Heya

Dominant Personality: Calm — I’m not so sure because you should see me talk to my brother when I am a drop pissed…

Good Traits: You prefer to be exclusive, limiting yourself to only a few good friends that you’ve probably known for a long time. You don’t date around either; you settle down with one guy, and you never get used to heartbreak. — Can this be any more true? Ah… yes… I am not fond of meeting new people (I told you I have enough friends!) and as for men, I do stick to one man.

Bad Traits: You’re someone who doesn’t want to be bothered with everyone else’s problems. You’d rather kick back and enjoy life at a slow pace. You tend to fall behind and procrastinate from being too laid back. — Yup, I am not a busy body. As long as you are sure you cannot handle your problems anymore and I consider you a really, really good friend, don’t bother talking to me coz I’ll just shrug you off. I have problems of my own so piss off. Yup, I am bad that way.

People see you as: Shy, slow to catch on, and a daydreamer. People think you’re in your own little world and are tentative to approach you. — Well, another exact description, to add, people tend to lose their guard around me because they think I am harmless but when I do pull a prank, heck, they get the biggest shock of their lives…

You’re Most Like: Fear. You distance yourself from the people who aren’t in your circle. The difference is that you aren’t paranoid about this. — Why bother with other people? I have my family and my friends and my family and my family. Do I need to explain this further?

You Need More: Understanding. There are other people out there worth knowing. It’s okay to broaden your variety. — When I need advise I’ll ask for it dummy.

So true!!! I took this test from somewhere and this made so much sense that I posted it here in my super bloggy! LOL… I watched ‘The Notebook’ 5 times since yesterday and I still cried after the last one… geez… I much of a "softy" and I sometimes seriously consider a major revamp like killing someone so I will be numb… Kidding. No, actually I wasn’t. Well yeah, I was. Hehe.

Anyhoo, that’s all I have to say… take care, ya?

Love people! Love!

Tonight, I was overwhelmed by fear… The thought of leaving my family and not seeing them for weeks or months is unbearable… If I get in any good university (If I do get in, I’ll be leaving in January for Spring Sem) and go live there, that would basically mean that I will be away from my family… no funny dad, no nagging mom, no pesky brothers, no precious Betchay, no washing baby bottles, no cooking rice, no washing dishes, etc… I am so afraid… I was never away from my home, NEVER. A night away from my family is driving me crazy already, so what more for weeks or months? Gaaaaahh!

I am so scared. I just find myself so selfish and self-centered and self-preserving and anything that has to do with selfishness, that’s me. The idea of being independent and free is ecstatic–for a while, until it dawns to you what you have to give up in order to get that much coveted independence. Ugh. "I’m scared…" yup, that’s all I said when I had my realization. I am so freakin’ scared. I prayed and asked anyone available in heaven to stay with me and keep me company… they listened and I feel so much better now…

I think that I have become too attached to my family, and there is nothing wrong about that… they are the only ones I love in this world and I treasure them more than anything, but there will come a time when we all have to grow, and part of that growth means feeling the pain and making sacrifices in order to experience the fire on the road to maturity… so I guess in a way my fear makes sense, but the "I don’t wanna go anymore because I’m scared and I’ll miss my family" part does not make any sense at all.

I have to do this, you know? I think I should. And I want to… When I go, I plan to go home at least once a month just to see how everyone is doing and how much my precious baby Betchay has grown… When I go home, I want to show my parents someone changed–someone independent, responsible, mature, and with clean feet. Heehaw…

I love you Papa, Mama, Timmy, Toby, Betcha… Always and Forever and Eternally…
