I hope everyone had a good xmas/holidays and after holidays shopping (I have yet to do mines) anyway i finally go around to taking pics of what i got for xmas (the 2nd half of my yesasia order just shipped today lol) anyway i took some pics of what i got this month with the exception of the eyes lips face order i made for my self and my xmas gifts. it doesn’t look like i got much but they were expensive which is why. some items i got i didn’t take pics of like my Wii Pj set, and my Avon odyssey perfume set which i got from my godmother. The games are shared with my brothers. Yeah that includes cooking mama. LMFAO!!

and my new cell phone. I had the old Razor v3 for a while. My mom upgraded my phone to the new Pantech matrix. I got the black and green one. Its not as bad as people came it to be. I have had NO problems with it despite its recall not too long ago. The only thing that annoys me is the lack of custom key pad (directional key pad), the lack of a damn phone charm hole and the fact that every button takes me to the internet… even the games are internet based. annoying. but alls cool. I just need a Micro card to put in some ringtones and wallpapers and i’m good to go.

Can’t seem to sleep so i pretty much spent a hour or two messing with my Flickr account which i made a week or two back. I also made a twitter account which is a pretty weird site. Anyway Its Christmas eve and hopefully everyone is not spending this day doing some late Christmas shopping… the time for that has passed… You’ll be lucky if you find what your looking for. Speaking for christmas, hopefully people got the gifts they asked for? i know i did with some still on the way via ups or usps… its actually still processing after ordering it December 3rd and then changing a item 2 weeks in… the first half of it did come though.

I pretty much made it extremely easy on my mom when it came to my Christmas gifts. One site. Yesasia.com. Majority of it of magazines from Japan on some of my favorite Jrock bands like Gackt, The Gazette and An Café. Along with those magazines came two CDs and a huge poster calendar (Gackt). I also purchased a 2009 Gazette Calendar as well which won’t be coming in till way after X-mas.

Heres what’s coming to me.

1. 2009 Gackt poster calendar.
2. Gazette Stacked Rubbish album.
3. Gazette LEECH Optical Impression (+DVD) single.
4. 3 Arena 37 C Specials (Gackt, Uruha and Reita).
5. Neo genesis Vol.23
6. Rock and Read Vol.21
7. FOOL’S MATE No.326 2008 December
8. FOOL’S MATE No.324 2008 October < the item i added in.
9. SHOCK WAVE No.15

All Items in bold are now under my xmas tree =)

Doesn’t seem like much but since there are imported they are a pretty penny. Anyway with those items I also got two free “mascot” toys and free shipping. So that wasn’t so bad. Outside of that this whole holidays has been as bland as ever. Nothing super on my end… as usual.

With a bland holidays hopefully today when i have to go and give my Godmother and her children their gifts along with my friend and her family would make it up. Christmas too, Planned to go to Valkyrie with my mom and brothers. Can’t wait!

Oh yeah!! have yah guys noticed??? new layout??? its what i spent all night doing =)

Another boring day… annoying. So annoying that I pretty much slept most of it away and the remanding hours I had left pretty much went to homework.
Well I pretty much got all morning (of the next day) to kill before I get tired and repeat the process all over again. I really need to find something to do, Fanfiction is great and I can pretty much never see myself getting tired of it, but the updating from the stories I read are so far apart that I’m left waiting for a new update to hurry the hell up. I’ve been even trying manga, which I mentioned before, and like fanfiction the updating is just as slow *Cries* but when the updates do come, you best believe I’m checking it out first thing. They are often exciting especially if the manga or Story I’m currently into is very good.
Talking about stories boy I can be picky. I’m sure it annoys other people or some people don’t even bother to notice the smaller things. But outside of grammar (which I hardly notice for unless is really bad) little things like details and some sayings (dialogue) just urk me. I hate when a author spends more time telling their audience every little detail, like the brand of clothes they are wearing or the brand coffee they happen to be drinking at that exact moment. Sure details are what makes a story more real to audience but often times being vague works better.
I don’t need to know that Jack wears red Tripp pants, a slipknot t-shirt and some black steel toe Dr. Martian’s boots. A simple explanation that his style was punk would give the audience some sort of idea of what he’s wearing. Perhaps something like he wore red skinny jeans, a black band shirt and some combat boots will give your audience something to fill in. They may perhaps have a different band in mind for his t-shirt and any style combat boots of their choice. Let your audience think, and don’t do that part for them. Items like foods and stores, another problem. A simple he was drinking black coffee or a even something as far as a brownie frappuccino is a lot better than saying that he was drinking a Starbucks brownie frappuccino. Sure Starbucks is everywhere, but we don’t need to know that.
I’m pretty sure the people who actually do that are like well you don’t write so you can’t complain. As a reader, yes I can. You want to keep your readers even the more picky ones. Why? They are the ones who provide the most help when it comes time to review the story or the latest chapter. They point out what seems wrong, what’s missing and what you can improve on.
Well enough on that. I guess that’s it for this random entry/rant. I seem to do a lot of those.

Just finished watching a pretty cute kids movie. Normally I avoid Disney movies after the very annoying fad of the Disney channel raided the minds of little kids to thinking that high school will involve singing and dancing, and all the fake things that happen in those shows. Not that Wall-E is anything like that. Disney in general just went downhill. Well the movie was pretty cool I really liked it. Very little dialogue made it very unique and enjoying to watch. Made you look more into the little details and actions the characters did thorough out the movie. :urthere?:
Also from my last journal entry I have to say I’ve been as lazy as ever :zzz: . When I started school in September I was pretty busy with working on that and staffing for createblog.com that it gave me something to do. When midterms came around or the time of midterms came my homework load has lessen making me pretty lazy and only logging when I has work do. Normally I would log-in every day because I kind of had something to do every day for school. It’s pretty bad. Especially for English. Like this journal entry for example. Teacher gave us extra time so that didn’t really worked out for me. I don’t see why. Are the other students having trouble? Hope not. :shrug:
I wish all my journal entries can be this good. Because nothing really happens to me I normally have nothing to really write about making them short and stupid. When I do they are pretty long and I’m sure a lot of readers don’t care to read large entries on someone else’s boring life. I sure don’t. And still no new readers for my site, and my visitor count has dropped for my main site as well. I got to get working on that seriously.
In other news I managed to get my hands on the PV for both Gackt’s New single Jesus and The Gazette’s LEECH. Amazing. Talk about being excited. Goosebumps and everything :yay: . I really wish they would come over to the states and do a tour here. They have so many fans here in the states along with Europe. It’s not a total waste to come here. Miyavi did, well in CA… sucks for me living in NY :surrender: . I would love for Gackt, The Gazette, Miyavi, MUCC, LM.C, and An Café to tour here (along with plastic tree, D’espairs Ray, Nightmare and L’arc~en~ciel). Dir En Grey did a while back with a bunch of American bands. That was weird. At the time I wasn’t a fan so didn’t bother to attend . Although they were with KoRn and that was enough to go, but call me picky, rather sit and or stand pretty close to the stage or it’s not really worth risking my life in a mosh pit further back. :threaten:
Well back on the singles, it amazing very good and a worth listen for JRock fans. The Gaztte’s new look for the PV is amazing. Very lovely. Ruki with curly hair is hot! Gackt’s spiked hair look looks pretty good on him. The matching outfits in the PV was also a nice touch. Black collar shirts with black pants and red ties. Simple, but looked good. Also loved how the other band members had red hair (or red stripes)pretty neat. Reminded me of Marilyn Manson back when his album Golden Age of Grotesque came out. Gazette’s PV was all black and white with some pretty neat visual effects on the model performing for the video. Very awesome.
Also I never bothered to look it up but why is it for Japanese videos the model or person playing the role of the story the song is about never happens to be Japanese or Asian? Every PV I’ve seen for whatever Jrock band I’m into all have some model of non-Asian descent. For example, those PVs for the two new singles Jesus and LEECH, Gazette’s Relia, Gackt’s Kimi no Tame ni Dekiru Koto, the list goes on. Would love to be in one of their videos. A girl can wish. :inlove:

Well i needed a new blog entry so why not talk about the stupid yet weird thing to happen to me a few hours ago.

After pretty much staying up all night, i started to get tired around 4am, so i was like what the hell, i have to at least get back up around 7am to put my brothers on the bus anyway. Hopefully at 7am I hear the alarm. Anyway I exited out of all the programs I had open on the computer shut the desk lamp off, and off to my room I went. Mind you this was all around 4am today, My eyes were pretty much giving off a zombie look with the amount of red splashes I had going on. It like that burning sensation you get when you haven’t slept too long, or you got up far earlier than you usually do. Well i get that pretty much all the time with my weird sleeping schedule. but just today it so happened that my eyes actually got all red and nasty. Talk about gross.

As I was getting ready, as of late my cat Kitty has been making him self comfortable on my bed, and pretty much always in the spots where I can easily climb back into to bed with the least amount of effort. So after nudging him to wake up i curled my self around him just to see how long it would take before he got uncomfortable and eventually left. It ended up the other way around when he bombed me (pass some deadly cat gas). After recovering, i noticed my window was open, closed it and then finally got into bed. But by then kitty was still very much in the way just further down and on the covers. Being the sap i am, i squeezed my self in where i didn’t bug him too much with my legs as I got under the covers. propping my pillow on my back rest, I decided to read the book My friend sent me from Hawaii (although now hes in Afghanistan) House of Leaves, He told me it was pretty weird so while he was cleaning out his room, he asked if I wanted it, told him yeah and he shipped it to me. I had it for about two days now, and still in the intro.

Me + Books = the book abandoned somewhere in my room.

Anyway so far its sounds pretty good for a horror book. I read for about maybe 15 -20 minutes, before i had this incredible urge to turn my upper body around and curl my hands to my chest with my face to my pillow. Weird but it really warmed up my hands when i think about it. Mind you i was on my back rest in a laying position (for those confused. ) so turning around like that didn’t sit well with my lower back and hips. Being tried to start with and reading didn’t help me stay up, in fact in that weird position i actually ended up falling asleep. Although not for long, 20 minutes in and my neck was killing me. I’m still laughing about it, I slept on my face, and here i am making fun of my brother who seems to love doing that. Its not very comfy, but its not that bad either. after turning to a more comfortable position i feel asleep till about 5am when my mom’s alarm clock rang and here i am telling you this story now at 8 in the morning.

Also lately its been taking me soo long to warm up while under the covers. My windows can be close and the room is so so (not hot nor freezing) and it takes me over 10 minutes to actually warm up. The whole time i was under the covers today and i was still freezing when i got out at 5am. I normally don’t like sleeping with socks…. but my god, now i have to or it will take even longer to warm up. its becoming annoying since i like sleeping with the fan on for some sort of noise.

oh yeah in other news… my xbox has broken down (not playing any disks) so today gonna ship it off to get it fixed. :shakefist:
