+ 10:42 PM: Friday, October 3, 2003 + 2months addiction free and going! +
Heya gang!Wow I haven't written in this for such a long time...i feel sorta bad...tee hee...anywho yesh according to the text above, I've gotten off my addiction of RO...summer fad...anywho it's more or less like i don't really have time to play..my life consists of eat sleep and study..-_- thought it is though, I do understand what needs to be done and that i must get it accomplished in order to get into UT Austin...-_- it just really sucks that's all...so yeah...
I feel horrible about promising my hs anime club that I was going to show up to one of their meetings and didn't follow thru...I just was a bit too busy with writing my Japanese speech that I fell asleep and didn't wake up in time to get my butt in gear to go to the meet...T.T I feel bad...but i can't do soo much anymore...so tired these days..The reason why i don't update, would probably be because of my manga addiction however (i have so many addictions it's not funny...) I don't think that I can break this habit as quickly like RO...it gets my attention much better than RO and is everywhere around me...^^;;;;
Speaking of manga, my favorite manga, HanaKimi, for about 2 years now has been licensed by...Viz...XP I don't particularly like them that much because of iffy translation work and horrible looking covers for their books....I really hope that they will treat this series with respect since it must have taken a good sum to get the rights for it..as I have heard, Hakunsha (or something other) the publishing company for HanaKimi is very strict on selling rights for their comics...so they probably paid a good sum of cash to obtain it....I hope they keep the same layout of covers and color of book since I think you really can't go wrong on covers if u stick with the original...that and i think it's just way better that way...(Viz stuck with the original cover of Hana Yori Dango, but gave it a tacky yellow/pink spine color...*shudder*)
Also because HanaKimi pretty darn close to the climax of the story and they just cut us off....soooo all the scanlation groups are hurrying up to finished the rest of the chapters that are lying around. I think that I have almost all of them...*phew* at least it'll keep me over til the actually thing comes out. I think my bro is right by saying that ppl in the channels work for companies and wait for the plot to get good and license them to make ppl angry....^^** Anywho that's about it...i'm going to enjoy the rest of my friday since i have work on sat. and a paper to finish on sun...-_- byby all!
+ 9:42 PM: Wednesday, July 9, 2003 + And You Thought I Didn't Do Anything... +
Okies the rough draft of what happened at A-kon is up...I'll add more detail laters..but yeah....fin fin...and now I go off for din din. =P
+ 6:38 PM: Wednesday, July 9, 2003 + ROA (Ragnarok Online Anonymous ^^;;;) +
Ah yesh...You and I both now I need a help center named that....Currently, I have not been on AIM or MSN for eons because of this game....I've loosely been named "recluse" by some ppl...and I do feel very bad...truthfully there is not too much going on in the game other than killing mosters...but it's somehow addictive...probably hidden messages in the cute sprite details...(you MUST PLAY!!) Anywho, I have recently looked over my site and now am determined to finish up some if not all of what I planned to do when I began the new layout. I will have up more of my HanaKimi site, I will put up my thoughts and reviews over various things and I will try to rant more often and just let people know about my day more...I think the main problem I don't update is because I don't really think anyone is looking at this site and lack to update it accordingly. I really love my site but I just sometimes think that it's not worth all the trouble because it just seems like I am the only person that pays attention to my site....probably because of lack of advertisment...but I don't really think that people look. Anywho, I will give a summary of what happened at A-kon and what was my view of the whole con later in the week...or maybe tonight..depends how detailed I would like it to be...also I am working on a con site...so please be sure to look at it when it is fin fin...okie that is all for right now...must plaaaaaaaay.....@.@ jk jk...I'm gonna start on that summary...i swear!
+ 11:10 AM: Sunday, May 11, 2003 + Cracked Up and Loose +
Ahhhhhhhhh...well, it's mother's day, I already got something for my mom and I hugged her and said I <3 U (but it's not like I don't say that to her 10x a day already, soooo)
Finals are done, I should go to the site and check out my grades and see if I'm still a 3.00 avg, but I'm still a bit too tired of thinking about school and the college concept of "paper".....lol apperantly, including the english 30 pager and the group 2 pager, I also had to write a group log so we could evaluate our group's management (see who did what). I think she was just trying to make up for her not asking us all the time, and so she could have those to deal with our final grades (fine by me since all my group members are cool and liked me ^_^) SO I think I'll check my grades after typing this up...might as well...^^;;;;;
Now about the title for todays entry "Loose" would refer to me being out for the summer, "cracked up" would refer to Ragnarok Online that I have been playing ever since I "studied" for my finals. RO is a massive multiplayer online RPG (MMORPG) like .hack's concept. This game is basically the closest u can come to a real like .hack then u ever could. It was made in Korea and had a Korean and Japanese version out already, it has been popular in Asia for some time, and now it has come out with a test version for English. More or less the concept of the game right now is to kill monsters and make friends with others. U can make up to three characters for yourself, and be one out of six job classes in the game (swordsman, archer, mage, merchant, theif, and acolyte (preist))It's actually really fun and all my friends should try it out, but it is a heavy d/l (570 mb)well worth it though...at least I think so...unless u have a slow connection...then u better not...
NOW, also in this game comes with....romance....yesh....giving flowers and rare items to a beau u meet....unfortuately...I think there are some desparate guys online, so be careful and stay away if u can....I"m currently having trouble in that all the friends that I make in the game are guys.....o.O No girl characters are willing to have a conversation with me...I feel shunned from my gender...I think from the two weeks that I have played now, I have made about 10 guy friends, three I know in real life the rest I do not....they are very intresting, I met a guy from Spain, Singapore, Australia, and South Carolina. I thought the game was just for certain places, but I'm amazed at how many are not from the US...^_^ Ahhhhh...so anywho, if ur on RO and a girl, please be my friend....I'll give u 100 zeny...^____^;;;;;

How nice, you're the gentle kirin. Originally from
China, you made your way to japan and brought
your nobility and purity with you. You are very
sentimental and care about other beings, you
are the familiar of the goddess Kannon, also
known as Kwan Yin or Tara. The goddess of
mercy. You represent everything just and pure.
You should be proud! Kirin is the oriental
species of unicorn.
What Japanese Creature are you?

Konbanwa....Watashi ga issogasskata deshita kara mada sito wo kakeimasen deshita. demo watashi ga gambaru kara. desukara chotto matte kudasai minna-san. (Translation: something like: "I'm sorta dead but don't kill me off yet....give me a week to finish my papers.") Haha...yeah that would be cool if i said it that was wouldn't it? but that wasn't the real translation...anywho it wasn't that important. Since it's Friday and now i have appromitely one week to finish my paper, I figured I'd write this as a testamony that no one should take Prof. Wood's class for Eng at UTSA....she'll drive you up the wall with her projects...@.@ (so tiring really!)
Right now I'm gonna do my final Japanese hw for the semester....woo hoo! and my last lab is this upcoming Wed...so I'm happy bout that too...except that on Thurs is my Oral Exam....I don't like those anymore...I think all the stuff we learn isn't sinking in as fast as it did like first semester and now I'm just...stressed and tired......eh....Since it's almost midnight and I haven't started...I think I should since I'm also getting a bit sleepy.....and that's not good....so I'll upload one or two of my quick sketches this weekend and call it my fanart/doodle zone. Won't that be fun? Can't you feel the creativeness???? Yeah, thought not.....
For the music corner of today, we have and ENGLISH song for ya! Amazing huh? English....Anywho it's called "Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence. I d/led it from a regular anime music supplier and she recommended it...so I was like what the hey....The melody is dark and reminds me a bit of "Witch Hunter Robin", and when I think about how the music video would look it would have a gothic feel to it....but I actually did check out their video on their site...and after hearing the song and envisioning the layout of a video for a week...I didn't like the concept to much....I think MINE would have looked much cooler. *smug* Song is really great though...but also since I'm used to the 4-5 mins of JPN songs...the 3 min (closed to 4min) sorta left me a little hanging....heehe...I haven't heard the rest of the tracks of their other songs...but if I heard soundbytes and they are good enough, This will quite possible be the first eng album I have bought in about..what...2-3 years? pretty closed to it...anywho...off to do hw...see ya!
+ 11:10 PM: Tuesday, April 8, 2003 + Test Time! +
Hi Hi ^_^ Just like to let you guys know for the people who are actually reading this lil site, NO I'm not dead....yet....I have tons of work to do and probably won't do any more REAL updates on this site til summer cause I have a 30pg essay for english due on Apri 25 and I have yet to write a slinge page of it...hahaha ^^;;;;;; Anywho, I also have one more test this week and a t-shirt design to try and make...and I have an idea but no rough sketch to show....anywho, I also have a quiz in Japanese...so...slack is appreciated...not that anyone really looks here...but if anyone actually did flame me for not doing anything...slack ppl...slack.
On other things, since i haven't really seen my sight in the longest time, I still like the layout and how pretty it is with the bishi to the left...(yeah it's a guy for all of u that thought it was a gal. -_-;;;) So I think I might keep this layout for the year seeing as...well I have no time..hahahaha...anywho nothing much is happening in my life....or nothing that I can really shout out right now cuase I'd have too much to say...so I'll just say that life is hectic. ^_^ => -_- Hopefully once this paper burned has been lifted, I'll be happier in making something of this site....maybe....*ponder ponder*
Also, there is just something that I would like to point out...."Gravity" by Maaya Sakamoto is one of the best songs that I have heard the composition is wonderful and If you can, try and find it on the net or get your single of it. It's the ending theme to a anime series called "Wolf's Rain". The series is by the ppl who brought you Cowboy Bepop and Witch Hunter Robin, and so far it's looking like a good anime to watch. ^_^ K that's all...just like to put some input about an anime series for now.

Just to point this out that noooooo I'm NOT this...but since it was one of those quizzes that answers were just sooooo OBVIOUS! I wondered what would happen...hehehe...anywho this is how it turned out....*pfft* hehehe Akira.....*pfft* I'll take this down in a say or two or put a new entry in...cause...it's disturbing to see this on the front headline of my site....-_-;;; (but....i AM glad that the HnG cast IS mostly males...XD)
+ 10:39 AM: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 + Minor Changes +
Since classes at my uni were called off til 11am... and I didn't want to go to one class for 50 mins and come back...I decided to stay home and fix the scroll bar to personalize it since I thought the regular Windows one looked funny with the blue theme. Also linked the "Gossiptools". Hopefully I can work hard today on the rest of the site since I don't have anything to do....but I should really study for my exams next week too...tee hee....^^*
+ 10:03 PM: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 + Layout Change +
This is my current layout? Like it? I spent some time trying to figure out how to use a frame set on this thing so I'm pretty happy with the results that I finally got except for blue usage....there are too many shades of blue to pick from!!!!! I believe that I still need to redo pages to go with the rest of the site and other things... but the hard part is finished. *jumps for joy* yeah so now I have to do that...let's all hope....anywho this will be the layout for some time...cause...dang it! I'm LAZY!
Hi Hi all! sorry that I haven't kept up this this site all too much...things have been really hectice and now i just might make this like a blog site or some junk like that since this update part is starting to turn into an online journal....so I think the lil Hana to Yume pages will be put as subchapters in this lil bit.....
Anywho I don't have any real time to change the site right now but I just might do it today since I have a paper due and I don't really wanna do it all that much. I hope that anyone who really reads this thing will be patient in waiting for me to be done with the renovations and for now the other parts of this site will be shut down due to the fact that I really hate it being just...there with not much content and stuff....so until I get some fanart and all the character profiles up I think I'll just closed it off for now. ^_^
Sorry that I didn't say anything for a month...I was gone on a trip which I will tell of laterz and I was really swamped with essays due for my freshman composition class.....anywho...I hope to get a new layout that looks more bloggie...then this one.....I'm starting to come up with more layouts then actually content...but then again i think it's easier to make them then create content...doens't everyone?...anywho....I think I'll finish this up before I work on the anime club site...cause....i'm just so tired of the site and no one is giving me much to do anywho.....^_^
