First of all, why are you reading this? All you can find here is my useless and pointless ranting
why I couldn't update and the bad things that happened to me in the most horrible two weeks of my
life. Anyway's I wont stop you if you wanna read on, so go ahead.


	You will not believe this but our computer has been acting up AGAIN! I thought at first
it was just a glitch that would dissapear in a day or two but now it seems that this computer is
hopelessly useless. I gotta have a new one, but I can't ask my parents for a new one. I'm not
that selfish. So I guess I goota save up, huh! Hmm... With my allowance and TGIS ("Tiis Gutom
Ipon Salipi". It means go hungry but save money. I usually skip lunch to do this!) I would
probably get a computer in 6 months or so. But what the hey, I can wait!

	Next is that my favorite channel (Animax) which is suppose to be a 24 hour japanese
subbed anime channel, has just changed into a 24 hour ENGLISH DUBBED anime channel! Yes! Subbed!
What could be worse than that (No offense to the Dubbed lovers)! If your an obsessed anime fan,
you would know that when an anime is dubbed, BIG changes happen. The voice quality is beyond
horrible, most of the good scenes are edited out, the opening ang closing japanese theme song
is replaced (waaaahhhh!!!!), and the cool background music has been replaced as well. Here's
a good example. If you know "Ghost at School" (one of my fave anime), you can relate. In the
subbed, Satsuki's voice has a LOT more character, the quality is very good, and her expressions
are just excellent. In the dubbed, her voice is like a hyena, the quality is beyond horrible,
and her expressions aren't believable. In the subbed, Keichiiro's voice is very cute (VERY CUTE)
especially when he's crying or saying "Kawayi" (I'm scared). In the dubbed, he sounds like a
very annoying crybaby where his cuteness is replaced by annoyance. In the subbed, Momoko's
voice is angelic. Her voice is mild and soft-spoken, emphasizing her kind and soft-hearted
personality. In the dubbed, her voice is just plain horrible, especially her accent. I could go
on and on but I'll stop now. I guess you get my point.

	Third, I've been so stressed out with college entrance exams. I've been doing but
studying and applying to different colleges. Most of the kids at my age (I just turned 15 by the
way) is enjoying their freshmen lives. But me, I gotta be a senior just because I skipped a
couple of grades way back when. Ugh! I just remembered, on Sunday I'll take the college entrance
test that is AT LEAST 5 HOURS LONG, WITH NO BREAKS, COVERING AT LEAST 4 SUBJECTS, ALL IN ONE DAY!

	Last, I just read a book about true ghost stories, urban legends, and followed by
watching a true horror movie (Texas chainsaws, that give you any ideas?). Now I'm so spooked that
I cannot sleep without the lights on. I'm so stressed.

	Thanks for reading, but I dtill don't understand why you bother, but thanks for listening
I feel a lot better after writing all these down.
