Happy Halloween~!!

Although I'm not doing anything for it XD
I've only ever been trick or treating once but I don't think we got many sweets |D
And I've never carved a pumpkin before....it'd be nice to try once...(maybe I'll try carving pikachu into it? XD)

Today's also the first day back to school, and I was absolutely knackered (still am (>_<))
But that means 7 weeks  (?) left until christmas holidays start and then after that will be my first A2 level exam (I think Psychology is first)
It feels like it's been going through really quickly (well really quickly through half term anways....)
And I'll soon be going to University....*starts freaking out*
I haven't even perfected (can you make it perfect?) my personal statement yet...which is what's holding me from sending my application....
Although I really do want to get it all done as soon as possible....

And then there's my stupid extended project that I have to worry about....
Although I first started out really pumping with enthusiasm for doing it...now...not so much....
I feel like I've gotten really lazy...I just want to get to University but I can't exactly go until I've gotten everything sorted (like exams and application etc.) it's like that saying, "don't run before you can walk" or something like that XD
I just feel so impatient to get everything done and over with and I just want to get out of this household...
Then I'll be 'free' to do what I want without worrying about asking for permission for buying for this or that or staying out late or whatever

Going right off topic.....(as usual XD)

It's Halloween!
Although I don't usually do anything for it XD
But it means that I'll need to start thinking about christmas presents....(>_<)
So many worries............
(ーー;)

Paradise Kiss

Was able to remember that Paradise Kiss DVD was out on 26/10/11 and forgot to go look for the subs until yesterday XD
I was going to post about it yesterday but just as I clicked on blogger, I found out that the internet was turned off so I stormed downstairs to ask who turned it off to find a massive TV in the way of the doorway _A_
So I guess....my family finally decided to buy a new TV (after the old one decided to die on us about 2 weeks ago)
So then they were all fiddling around with the TV and the router was unplugged so I couldn't go on the internet...(>_<)
And then just when they've plugged everything back in, I had to go to work....-_-

But anways...!
Before all that happened I was able to watch Paradise Kiss (whilst squealing a lot XD)
First things first.....
OSAMU MUKAI CAN NOT ACT!
I don't bloody care about what other people say, he is like a brick, he has no emotions and is way too stiff (>_<)
I think he can even go against Robert Pattison for who's the stiffest actor XD
Seriously, I've seen him in 3 dramas and in all three dramas his acting has been absolutely terrible!
I don't see why people like him so much! Yes the guy has a baby face and whatever but that doesn't mean he gets away with atrocious acting...!!!!
*calms self down*
I first saw him act in Nodame Cantabile, sure he had a relatively small role, but even thne he couldn't play an emotionless role, cheesus christ.....
And then I think next I saw him in Mei-chan no Shitsuji where he had a bigger role where he was in most of the episodes and seriously he was like a brick! Even a statue could do better than him for pete's sake!
And lastly, to my disappointment, he was also is Honey and Clover, sure that drama was way before Nodame Cantabil and Mei-chan no Shitsuji, but it shows how his acting has not even improved the slightest!

And then I had to go through the torture of watching him kill one of my favourite characters in Parakiss....(>_<)
And it wasn't pretty....he made George seem so boring and not at all hot as George should be...!! (>_<)
But other than stupid Osamu Mukai ruining George, Keiko Kitagawa I thought did a pretty decent job as Caroline/Yukai, although I only seen her in LADY~Saigo no Hanzai Profile, but I think she showed Yukari's personality pretty well.
And then there's Aya Oomasa as Miwako, which I thought was pretty weird at first when she tried to act cute and all,  (maybe because I recognise her from Mei-chan no Shitsuji and she's also in Kaitou Royale) but I soon got used to her acting and thought it suited her well.
Yamamoto Yusuke is just perfect as usual (or it's just because I'm just really biased XD) but everytime he came onto the screen I would squeal his name XD But his acting was really good (mochiron XD)
Shunji Igarashi as Isabella.....I thought was absolutely brillitant although if I am ever to rewatch Hana Kimi again (which I most probably would) I will never be able to see Noe in the same way again...XD
Last but not least Kento Kaku as Arashi, I've never seen him in any other drama so I didn't know what to expect from him, but I actually thought he suited the role very well and I really liked him. =)

Well that's all about the actors, onto the storyline, which I thought was pretty good, but I'm also pretty sure that there were some parts which weren't in the manga (especially the ending) unless I've forgotten the storyline XD
But even still they still stuck to some parts of the original storyline (like the bit when Miwako and Arashi were making out on the pool table which made me lol XD) and I thought the whole storyline was pretty sweet, although at some points were a bit too cheesy, but I guess most romance films will be cheesy in one way or another.
But all in all I liked the storyline and it did bring out the characters, even Yamamoto Yusuke's Tokumori which I didn't think would have such a big part in the film.

And of course there's the amazing soundtrack (XD) consisting of YUI's songs 'Hello~Paradise Kiss' (which was played twice) and 'YOU' (played at the end). And of course the other songs XP

Will try and find some screen shots of this film to make this post more attractive somehow...XD

Geeks Night!

Just attended Geeks Night!
I feel like such a geek XD
Well before that I decided to watch the first new episode of Kaitou Royale, which I have been looking forward to since they announced it =)
It has nothing to do with YUI's song being used as the theme song XD well maybe a bit...
But it's mostly because Kaitou Royale is replacing the time slot that OHSHC used to be in, and it's logical to watch Kaitou Royale and it's also something to look forward to after school on friday =D
Anyways back on subject.....
So I decided to watch Kaitou Royale and I ended up only watching snippets of it as I was trying to figure out what to wear to the Geeks Night (to cosplay, or not to cosplay, that was the question XD)
But from the snippets that I saw, I already know that I'm going to love the guy with the blonde streaked hair, and I already hate the cool-looking guy with the whole muscly built body =/

But anyways I got ready and decided to cosplay in the end (although I was only wearing a school sailor uniform XD)
And I decided to catch the bus into town (since mother is too lazy to drive me there...(>_<))
And I got so many weird looks, despite the fact that I tried very hard (ok not really...) to hide my cosplay (by wearing a raincoat XD)
And when I was walking to 'Waterstones' (which is where the Geek Night is based at) I caught a woman staring at me up and down and then going 'Oh my god....' which really annoyed me and made me even more self-conscious thinking 'Do I really look that bad?! D='
But then when I arrived to the front of Waterstones I saw others of my kind (well not dressed up in school sailor uniform but just cosplaying in general XD)
Whilst waiting in line, I saw lots of passer-bys looking at us like 'WTF?!' on their faces, and one even asked us what was going on, where one cosplayer replied 'Geeks Night' which made the passer-by stare at us even more XD

We were soon let in though, and I found my manga buddy friend and we mostly chatted whilst her guy friends messed around
They were all really nice, and then just as I was starting to get bored, my school friends arrived so I tagged along with them, until I was bored and returned to my manga buddy XD
The whole night was mostly like that, and it was actually quite fun because once I got bored all I needed to do was find the others XD
And although there weren't very many people this time around (I think I've been to three before XD)
I found that I enjoyed it more because I didn't get bored so easily and I made new friends =)
Although one of them started freaking me out (inside - I didn't show it on my face and just carried on smiling) because it sounded like he was trying to chat me up....D=
But I pretended to be ignorant and tried to ignore him when I got the chance XD
This is why I can never make male friends.....|D I freak out too much......_A_

I didn't win anything and the stuff they were giving out were mostly last year's stuff, and there tombola prizes were also last year's freebies which I thought was quite harsh and didn't bother trying...

But all in all I found it very enjoyable although I felt so self-conscious at the beginning XD

Last day at Edinburgh

The last day at Edinburgh was pretty laid back
We decided to go to South Queensferry (under the bridges) and we took a lot of pictures there, even though we used to go there when I was little (I think we still have those pictures somewhere...)

But apparently nothing's changed much...and we decided to walk around a bit taking lots of photo's of the two bridges and my mother was reminiscing about the past when we used go there a lot with my aunt (from my mother's side)

The day was also really nice, a bit chilly, but it didn't rain at least XD
And then we got hungry and decided to go to 'Nando's' to eat (the same Nando's we went to last year)
But then afterwards we had no idea what to do...since we got a few hours to spare before we met up with my aunt (from my father's side) again that night
So it was decided that we'd go to Musselburgh because my mother was deciding to move back up to Edinburgh and wanted to maybe buy a house in Musselburgh, so we decided to go over there
It was really nice next to the sea

The houses there were really nice, and we 'accidentally' ended up in someone's private house part XD

But the elderly lady there seemed pretty nice though and didn't mind much

After looking around we went to the restaurant that we were meeting with my Aunt and her family and had dinner with them

Not the best food but at least edible XD

And then! And then! We played fireworks in my aunt's (my mother's side) back garden and I got to light all the fireworks! And I guess, I'm pretty happy I could light them XD

I couldn't take any pictures because I left my phone upstairs...=(

But I still remember it in my head so it's fine XD

Pretty sad it was the last day, but holiday's can't last forever and I needed to get back (in time for Geek's Night! XD)

Visiting my new baby cousin ♥

Visited my Aunt and her newborn baby the next day
We took the train which was about an hour's journey before arriving at their town
My new baby cousin is just sooooooo adorable~!!!! (>w<)
And he's so tiny~~~!!!!

I wanted to keep poking his squidgy cheek all day XD
When his little glove things fell off, I tried to put it back on but then he grabbed onto my finger!!!
Soooooo cuuuuuuute~!!!!! (>////////////////////<) *dies*

So yeah....the day mostly involved me and my mother quealing over the baby XD
And then afterwards we left around about 5pm and returned to my aunt (from my mother's side) house and I made lasagna whilst my mother made bread

So that day was pretty laid back XD
But I was still pretty tired from all the travelling by train....
Oh yeah, and the return train tickets lasted to up to a month! =O Which was really surprising!

Livingston!

The day after the Uni Open Day, we went to Livingston to go shopping~♪

And we invited my other aunt (from my father's side - my third aunt)

And we didn't really buy anything at first, but then we entered 'Next' and my aunt (from my mother's side XD) found this top which she thought I'd look cute in

The problem with this top is that it was both lace and floral - two things I absolutely hate D|

But I knew that I had to stop thinking like that, I mean I've never tried wearing anything lace or floral so how would I know if it didn't suit me?

So I took the gamble and bought it XD

Then we were looking around shops (my mother wanted to buy some baby stuff for my aunt (from my dad's side - this time the youngest aunt XD) since she only just recently gave birth to an adorable baby boy (more about that in the next post =P)

We finally entered 'GAP' which we took ages in because we had to some how convince my mother from buying the knitted top because it looked good on her (and my mum being a fussy person) wasn't really sure whether to buy it or not _A_

Well in the end she bought it, and I bought a pair of skinny's and my aunt (from my mother's side) bought me a grey hoodie as well ★

And then we went to the other side to another mall (livingston is like heaven for shopaholics XD) and looked at a couple of shops there before deciding that we were really hungry....XD

We ended up eating at 'Wagamama' and I had no idea that it was actually supposed to be a Japanese style restaurant because it looked nothing like it XD

But (of course) I ended up ordering Miso Ramen for myself

And god was it delicious, however the more I ate the spicier it got XD

Until near the end I was nearly dying XD

But I managed to finish it because it was so nice~ I hadn't had Ramen in ages~~~~

The gyoza however wasn't as good....

So after that we went to 'Matalan' and spend the rest of the time there before leaving and going to my aunt's place (from my father's side)

And she gave me some of her daughter (as in my cousin's) clothes that she never wore and she though it'd be a waste to give them to charity, so I ended up with free clothes XD

In the evening we all met up again at the restaurant my uncle (my aunt from my father's side's husband) and had dinner there (which was absolutely mouth-watering all the food ♥)

And at the end I played the ipad with my little cousin (who's just adorable especially when his two front tooth are missing (>w<))

And that is the end of that day XD

Uni Open Day

The third day was the open day
We had our tour and a little intro to the Uni
The Uni is such a massive campus and it's so peaceful and quiet with lots of greenery too!
There were also swans in a little pond (and one of them decided to show of and go upside down which made me lol XD)
Afterwards we were absolutely hungry so we decided to eat at a Korean Restaurant (which I've been to before   last year when I went up to Edinburgh) and it was still just as delicious~~~~~
Then what happened.......
I kinda forgot....|D
It's been a long time and I don't remember (I'm also still absolutely knackered....XD)

Dress Shopping

The second day in Edinburgh consisted of me looking for a prom dress XD
Actually that wasn't what we were intending to do in the first place, but it suddenly randomly became like that XD
We just started out just thinking of going window shopping and looking at sales, and then my aunt decided to take us to the shope 'White Stuff' which has really nice clothes but so expensive! (>_<)
Even in the sales, it was too expensive for me....(>_<)
But! But! But! My aunt had a surprise for us!
She told us to all choose some clothes to try on, even if we weren't thinking of buying anything, so that we could go to the fitting rooms
At first I was a bit confused, but when we got to the dressing rooms, I was even more confused because all I saw were wardrobes XD

And I found out that the wardrobes were actually the fitting rooms! Which is such an ingenious idea!

It actually felt like I was entering narnia as I opened the doors of the 'wardrobes' XD

And the insides were also pretty cool!

And each 'wardrobe' was entirely different from each other! (we also had a sneak peek at an empty males 'wardrobe' and it was all football fanatic stuff XD)
So even though we ended up not buying anything at 'White Stuff' we still had a lot of fun <3

I think it was after that, that we started going prom dressing, and at one point my aunt even took me to Jenners and to the 'Bare Essential's part and told them to let me try out some make-up XD
And the person who helped me put on foundation etc. was a gay Scottish man called Andrew XD
He actually made my day, as he kept saying 'oh I wish I had such nice skin like yours' in a gay scottish accent which was absolutely brilliant! <3

As we were walking aorund, we spotted a sign at the entrance to HMV which said that Matt Cardle was going to be there that evening
We decided that we'd come back to see if we could see him, and when we did come back, he was there! And there was a massive long queue of fangirls waiting for him _A_
There were some who was shaking after taking pictures with Matt Cardle, and I even spotted one crying as she came out......D|
So whilst all this was going on we decided to go into stalker mode and take pictures of Matt Cardle so we could say that we met him XD
And since he was situated near the escalator, we decided to go up to the second floor and then come down so then we would get a perfect shot of him! |D
As we were coming down, he was taking a picture with a fangirl but he was actually staring at the three asians coming down the escalator (where one of them *cough*me*cough* was trying to take a picture of him)

I couldn't take the one when we were coming down the escalator and it was waaaaay too blurry to even recognise who it was (>_<)

But after our stalking experience we decided to call my brother (since he really likes Matt Cardle's new song) and he was really jelly XD and asked us why we didn't go take his autograph _A_

That's kinda the whole day summed up XD

It was pretty fun with a great ending (^3~)b

Edinburgh~!!

Arrived in Edinburgh yesterday!
And was meant to update yesterday but was just way too tired....(>_<)
So I shall update today =P

It took us more than 10 hours to reach Edinburgh, although we did have a 2 hour break when we arrived at London
But thank god we did because we got lost when we were going from Paddington to Kings Cross XD
Apparently to my lovely mother, St Pancras and Kings Cross were the same thing, so we followed the signs to St Pancras despite the fact that I pointed out that the signs for Kings Cross was pointing to a different direction |D
As we were heading our way to the platforms we found a little display where everything was made of cakes! =O

They were really awesome! (and I love the names like 'Puddington' XD)

But anways.....
We were getting lost and we had to ask a policeman where the platform for Edinburgh usually is (why we asked a policeman, I have no idea.....OTL) and he told us it was next door opposite us...XD
And so I was like 'told you, you were wrong' to my mother (yes, I know, very childish of me XD)
And so she said that I was now in charge of showing us the direction to the station =P
So I took her around and we finally found the platforms although it was really hard because it was all under construction and it was so messy....
But then!
I discovered something!

I was actually thinking of trying to look for the pillar between platfor 9 and 10 and trying to find platform nine and three-quarters, but instead I found that sign XD
It really did make my day, although I felt sad that it had been moved.....XD

So after taking pictures of the sign and quickly uploading it to facebook and squealing at it, we waited by the massive screen for our train to finish being prepared
It took quite a while...despite getting lost we still had half an hour to spare, but it was soon ready and we could finally get onto the train
Once on the train we took out the YO! Sushi that we bought when we were at Paddington Station

It was actually quite nice! And they gave us soya sauce and wasabi and pickled radish as well which was pretty cool! =D
I ended up watching SIDNAD vol 7 on the train (which was 3 hours long to my surprisement =O)
But I enjoyed watching it (especially Mao's and Shinji's epic failness XD)

When we finally reached Edinburgh I forgot how bloody freezing it was up there....!!! (>_<)
And it was already night....

And I guess that's all for now =P
Will have to upload about yesterday and today as well XD

Edinburgh Tomorrow!

Will be traveling up to Edinburgh tomorrow by train!
And I will need to get up early as well....(>_<)
Haven't had a lie-in in a while.....=(
Hopefully there'll be wi-fi on the train but even if there isn't I'll most probably be watching the second part of SIDNAD vol 7 and Hana Yori Dango movie~
But I can't wait to go up to Edinburgh!
The reason is for the Heriot-Watt Open Day as it's one of my choices, although they don't do psychology and criminology (which is what my mind is set on currently), which is a shame because I would like to go up to Edinburgh (except for the fact that my parent are also deciding to move back up there.....¬_¬)
But I really do love Edinburgh (except for it being bloody freezing.......) it's a really nice city (and has lots of nice food XD)

Come to think of it.....I haven't actually packed my bags..............
May need to start that.....XD

Caught a butterfly sneaking in yesterday

It was very pretty but I let it go back to it's home~

Formula 24!

Over the weekend I went to the finals for the Formula 24 racing!
It's been nearly a year since we first started making the car....
How time flies so fast....
But anyways!
We decided to travel the day before the final so that we won't have to travel really early in the morning to get to Goodwood
It was about 3-4 hours drive up to Portsmouth where we stayed at a hotel there
The journey was brilliant as we were just listening to music (mostly old songs) that were so nostalgic since it was mostly by the bands/singers that I used to love listening to e.g. MCR, P!NK, Blink 182, Nickelback etc.
It was brilliant just singing along to the songs, and then they decided to play Disney which were just as fun to sing along XD We were all so hyped up and singing together XD That a friend of mine even decided to record it DX
But we finally made it to Portsmouth and to our hotel...

And even though we knew we had to wake up at about 6am in the morning the next day, none of us could go to bed and stayed up messing around (until the teachers came knocking on our doors to keep the noise down since they can hear us all the way from down the hallway =X)
We were just so hyped up and excited XD

Then it was on the day of the final!
We had to make sure to be by the mini bus by 7.30am (way too early for a sunday! (>_<)) and we just made it in time XD
On the way to Goodwood it was another sing-song and then we met our fellow rivals *cough*Megazord*cough* who were just behind us on their mini bus
Our mini bus decided to turn left on a corner, but our rivals went straight ahead which really confused us, and then we thought that they've gotten themselves lost XD
.....but instead....it was us who got lost OTL and we spent about 10 minutes just going around the same round-a-bouts over and over again, until finally one of the teachers got their GPS out and directed us out of the round-a-bout mayhem
And we were finally back on track! Towards Goodwood!
As we were getting there, the theme tune of 'Pirates of the Carribean' was put on and it was such an epic entrance into Goodwood XD
We just all couldn't wait to get out of the minibuses!

There were so many teams there! And we had a bit of noseying around to eye up our competition =P
I volunteered to be a marshal along with 7 others in my school and we ended up making up half of the marshaling team XD But the staff there really appreciated our generosity to help (more like being marshals so that we can be bias towards our team XD)
As a marshall my first job was to take care of the end of the pit lane and....actually I really didn't know what I was meant to be doing XD
We just ended up standing around watching the cars go pass us (it was at the time when the cars had an hour to practice on the laps) and we were eyeing up competition again and checking out which ones were the good ones and which ones we didn't really need to worry about (since all the cars were numbered on order of ranks and how many miles they have done this year)

At the time the pit lanes were pretty empty since it wasn't the proper competition yet and cars just came one by one
But then afterwards it was the formula 24+ races first (I don't think it was their finals) and were were put on the opposite end of the pit lanes to the beginning of the pit lanes so that we can contact the time management people which cars were going into the pits.

There were a few problems where we did tell them through the walkie talkies that a car had gone in, but there was no response and then they took us off our job (maybe because we were pretty bad at it XD)
And we put in front of the gates were were given the jobs to tell cars to slow down, which was pretty boring at first...but then we got used to it

An old man then walked up to us and started talking to the staff nearby us who were taking care of us, and only after he left that I found out that he was the owner of Goodwood and everything in this area (including a horse track that was nearby =O) and he was even a Lord! If I had known sooner I would've asked for his autograph XD

Once the 24+ races finished we had a break and then the Formula 24 parade started! And I decided to join my team and got really hyped up and excited because it was nearly our race!
There were some really cool looking cars and then others....not so cool XD And then there was one called tomato salad which was from an all girls school and they just wouldn't stop singing OTL and another all girls school where they were dressed up as girl cowboys and their car was painted like a cow _A_
It seemed like my school was the only all girls school that looked quite 'normal' except for the screaming crowd and our over-competitiveness XD

But soon it was the start of the race! And all the cars started to line up! I was back in my position but I had a good view of the cars and it felt like ages for them to start waving the flags and for the race to start!

Once the race started we were waiting ages to see the cars coming around the track (the track was more than 2 miles long =O)
And we finally caught the first glimpse of the first car which was Rotary Racer and bloody hell were they good!
They were amazingly fast and had soon overtaken the slow cars after only the second lap!
Our car was ranked 51 (so we lost our number 1 sticker and had to have a 51 instead (>_<)) but we soon climbed up to 37 in the ranks! Which was jolly well good!
Soon cars started to come into the pit lanes, it was alright at first since it started it with one car every lap coming into the pit lanes so we just told them to slow down without any problems
But then soon masses of cars started to go into the pit lanes (there were 77 cars on the track) and some just wouldn't slow down! It was so frustrating that we ended up having to yell at them to slow down
Which the Goodwood staff was pretty impressed with XD
Whilst this was going on our car started to decrease in its position (although it never reached 50) which we started worrying a bit...
I think it was half way that soon we started climbing back up the ranks again!
And what made things better was our rivals *cough*Blue Raptor*cough* broke down and couldn't be fixed so had to forfeit the competition *bwahahaha* Which was such a highlight for me and everyone on our team XD

Then we were told to switch jobs and had to do the recovery, which I was a bit upset about since I really liked my job XD
But the recovery job involves us going onto the track! Which, I guess, made up for it XD
And it was really cool actually being able to go onto the track and see the cars going around (and blocking our way so we had to slow down etc.) But I was surprised at how many cars kept breaking down (and it was usually the same cars |D)

However having to lift the cars was not so great as they were pretty heavy (for a weak person like me) and it was really hard to have a good grip of the sides of the car (>_<)
But it was still pretty fun
And soon it was nearing the end of the race and on the final lap, I swear, I had to go out and recover about half of the cars out there. It might've been because they thought they'd just drain the batteries down to nothing and just have us tow them back, but it was pretty annoying....
The good thing was that our car NEVER broke down and was always on the track without any problems!
Although we got bumped into twice....but no proper damage was done so we could still carry on with the race without having to be recovered!

It hit the end of the day and the end of the race and we came out......
35th!
Which we are all pretty chuffed about because we climbed from 51 to 35! Which is a great achievement especially since this is our first year!
Although we didn't get any awards (which we disagreed with some of them XD) but we did get a mention for providing half of the marshaling team and they really appreciated it since we always have volunteers for the marshaling team every time (for the three races we've had) we went to a race

So overall I had a great experience which I will definitely not forget about!
I had so much fun (although I am still absolutely knackered) and I am proud to be part of the mechanics team and supporting our team from the beginning!
Go team Hummingbird!

The cupcakes were made by a mother of one of the students!
They were so delicious~ and so pretty that I felt guilty if I ate it...although I gave in to temptation in the end.....XD

Lock On

The MV for YUI's new song 'Lock On' has been released!
The song 'Lock On' will also be used as the opening for the new drama 'Kaito Royale'
Which I was actually planning on watching before I knew that YUI's 'Lock On' was to be used in it, since it is replacing the Ouran High School Host Club Drama that I was watching, and I thought it'd nice to watch it as it'll be on at the same time as OHSHC drama had been on =)

So when I first heard the full version of the song, I was...I guess a bit disappointed as it really didn't stand out as much as I had hoped....
But I guess I'll slowly get used to it like I usually do

The MV I really liked though, although it was very different from her previous MVs, I actually really enjoyed watching this one.
YUI also seemed more 'energetic' in this MV where she's seen running and jumping around and she's moves more (than she usually does) when playing her guitar.
And talking about her guitar, OH MY GOD, I absolutely love her new guitar!
It's another fender and it's just so...pretty *_*
Forgetting about my obsession with Fenders, I really like her hair in this MV as well XD
I don't know what it is but I really like it XD It's not like she's done something different to it or whatever, since it actually looks pretty normal like she normally has it. But...I don't know how to explain it but I really like it _A_
And she looks way cooler and mature in this MV that makes me want to look up to her more XD

I just need to try and get used to the song....
At first I thought it'd be a proper serious rock song....but then some random trumpets started playing and I was like 'wuh? @_@' And it just sounded really weird....but I really like the bit where she sings 'lock on' because that bit does sound very catchy
But the song isn't her best IMHO however I will still look forward to her new album!
Can't wait!

Although I didn't have to wait as long as some people I've heard had to wait (one said they had to wait 3 months for it DX)
Thankfully mine didn't take as long =)

But I guess now I can start taking lessons....although I'm quite nervous to find out what kind of driver I'll be XD
Will I be a good driver? Bad driver? Overly careful? Ditzy and careless? Violent (most likely XD)? The list goes on....

I guess everyone's nervous on their first go, but I really would like to get it over and done with and pass as soon as I can without wasting much money or time....=/

Although if I really do want to pass, I guess, I really shouldn't rush myself...i need to take things at my own pace, right?

So I'll definitely do my best!
(^w^)b

Guess I'll need to start learning the theory....(although I really do hate theory exams especially for music....)

Two of my faves at number 1!

Checked the weekly oricon ranking today and YUI was at number 1 in the weekly singles chart with 'green a.live' and SID was also at number 1 on the DVD charts with SIDNAD VOL 7!
So proud of both of them as they really do deserve it!
And so proud if SID because it is their first DVD to get number 1!
I shall wait patiently for their singles and album to get number 1 next~
Although I don't think their next single (released 14/12/11) will get number 1 since it's also the day that a stupid idol group AKBrubbish is releasing their single...(>_<)
But I will not lose faith in SID!
I have high hopes that they'll definitely get into the top 3! (especially if they decide to release a Christmas single and dress up as santa XD *bricked*)

The picture is of my two Japanese doll statue things that are usually hiding away on the corner of my desk XD
Mother bought them back from Malaysia and they were originally hers when she went to Japan for her honeymoon
So jelly that she got to go to Japan....(>_<)

Japanese duck snack thing!

This was surprisingly really nice!
Although it seemed a bit weird at first having a duck wing as a snack kind of thing, plus it looked pretty weird...XD
But it tasted really nice and now I want more <3

Now my room smells of duck...XD

YUI's new album announced!

Information about YUI's new album has been announced!

And it'll be called 'HOW CRAZY YOUR LOVE'

It's not surprising I guess, since her tour is called that as well, but it's still very....YUI-like and her kind of Engrish XD

Above: Limited Edition album cover

Above: Regular Edition album cover

So it'll be released on the 02/11/11 which is less than a month away! =O

So that means not to long too wait! \(^o^)/

And the tracklist has also been released:

1. HELLO

2. Seperation

3. Get Back Home

4. Lock On

5. U-niform

6. Cooking

7. Rain

8. Good Night

9. YOU

10. It's My Life

11. no Reason

12. Nobody Knows

13. Green a.live

So HELLO, Rain, YOU, It's My Life, and Green a.live have already been released on the singles, but I'm so happy that they've included YOU because I absolutely adore that song~<3

And just judging by the names I will be looking forward to: Lock On, Cooking and Good Night (although I will be looking forward to all the songs on this album but these three peak my interest the most XD)

I am especially looking forward to 'Cooking' because....I don't know.....when I first read the title I was like 'eh?! Really "Cooking"?!' and laughed XD I guess it has something to do with all the women jokes....._A_

So yeah....I'll definitely be looking forward to that song ;)

I wonder whether the lyrics will be on the line of 'I'm a women and I stay in the kitchen cooking and making bacon sandwiches~♪ *bricked*

I do like the covers for this new album and I like the contrasting moods between the LE and RE covers - IMO I prefer the LE because I just really like the light in the top corner~ just makes the album very pretty~★

Hate when lunch is early....

Today the school decided to have an early lunch because the year 11's are having a 'curriculum collapsed day' i.e. sex ed day
I could hear all the screams and laughter when I was in Psychology and it reminded me of the time when I had the sex ed day and my biology teacher at that time had demonstrated gonorrhea with cottage cheese and it was absolutely disgusting....(>_<)
So yeah...I wasn't surprised with all the screaming from the geography room nearby XD
But because they had sex ed day, they decided to move lunch forward an hour (god knows why...) and because I had thought I'd go home to have my lunch at lunchtime, I didn't bring any food except my Mamee packet of noodles....so I was actually dying of hunger (so I bought some bueno which were 70p from the vending machine - bloody expensive!)
So by the time I got home I started feeling really dizzy from hunger (>_<)

Any that's all for now, cba to write anymore...
I might write about SIDNAD vol 7 and my thoughts on it, but I have to watch the second part first (I really hope they included Mao falling off the stage XD - I didn't mean it in a mean way though)

Having this for brunch

Whilst I watch the last episode of ouran high school host club drama XD

Is it too early (what is early to me anyways XP) tp have something so spicy...?

Gonna eat~

Tired but can't sleep

So instead I'll update this blog~! XD

this'll be the third time updating today huh?

It's not gonna last long...but I'll try my best to update as regularly as I can without losing motivation! =3

Mah...what shall I write?

Well since I got half day at school o came home early and spent the rest of the day watching hana yori dango season 2 because I haven't finished watching it yet

And it made me laugh, cringe, and cry...

I swear the manga and dramas I watch, I always end up crying in bits of them

I swear I'm more prone to crying these days...i wonder if it's because of stress? Or I really am just a crybaby XD

But anyways I'm really enjoying hana yori dango season 2 except I don't like what oguri shun has done to his hair (>_<) I mean, I really liked his hair in season 1 and so far from the dramas I've seen with him in HYD season 1 hairstyle suits him best! X3

But yeah....i do have an obsession with hairstyles especially guy's hairstyle because I don't like them too long or too short, and if they want it long they should have it just above shoulder length and they MUST style it! Especially if they have straight hair (or they straighten it everyday like the guys in my school...>_>)

If they don't straighten their long hair then they just look lil girls and look really stupid =/

But anyway, what am I on about!?! This has necks such a weird post XD

Why did I take a photo of my from-me-to-you bear? Because it's adorable and I'm so tired that I've lost my mind X3

A bit of Oricon

Well currently YUI is at #1 on the Oricon Daily Charts and has beaten a rubbish idol group which I've never heard of but I still loathe and despise just because they're a group of young girls dancing around next to nothing to get old, perverted men to buy their CD's -_-

Well I don't hate the members of the group, I just hate the fact that they're made to do all those rubbish, or maybe they like doing all that but I still find it sickening that anyone would actually enjoy watching them dance around in bikini's or what not, because that is what you call pedophilia here in the UK

Maybe it's quite acceptable over there in Japan and maybe because I'm a bit of a feminist but I still can't stand idol groups like AKBrubbish and any group like them.

Is it not suspiscious that the founder of AKB48 and all the other 48's is an old man? Just a bit suspicious....

But I've gone way too off topic XD

I really do think YUI's current new single 'Green a. live' really does deserve being at #1 because I, myself, fell in love with the song the first time I heard it, and it's been ages that has happened to YUI's single (not since her single 'Again') and I think that the A side song 'Green a. live' really does show YUI at her best and what she can really do. And it's more 'her' and not what she's trying to be. 'It's my life' and 'Hello ~ Paradise Kiss' is just like Sony and them lot trying to hard to make YUI appeal to the 'newer' generation and trying to change her to seomthing she's clearly not. It's true that she's been smiling way more than she used to (before 'Again' and her hiatus) and I do sense that she's having lots more fun, but having to change her image like that was a shock and didn't seem like YUI was being true to herself (My personal opinion). So when I heard 'Green a. live' it was so....nostalgic like the 'old' YUI was back. I, myself, don't think there is an 'old' YUI or a 'new' YUI but it's the only way I can describe it. It's just like YUI is being herself and doing what she wants instead of getting a makeover that's totally the opposite of what she is. (Seriously, if she starts wearing miniskirts and boobtubes fans around the world would definitely have a heart attack XD)

But enough of the rant XD

SID's DVD 'SIDNAD vol 7' is at #1 on the DVD Oricon chart as well! Which is really good, since their single 'Itsuka' which was released last week got #2 (which was still really good! but I was a tad bit disappointed), so they really do deserve this #1!

I think I might start including some pictures to my posts since all this writing is pretty boring to read ne? XD
This post has become such random rants that's been building up inside me...

Setting up blogger on phone

Is so difficult and annoying...!!!

Or I'm just an idiot who has no common sense...?

But I installed the app and then it told me that I needed to sign into my Google account but no matter how much I tried it wouldn't let me in (>_<)

But in the end I manages somehow but I had to use a different gmail account which meant transferring the blog from one account to the other and urggh...so much hassle...!!! (>_<) 

Well anything's been sorted now so I probably should stop grumbling XD

Intro

This is like my third attempt to make and keep a blog running XD

Third website that I'm using as well...

I really do hope that I can keep this going because then in a few years time I can look back and feel how nostalgic it is...(I sound like I'm old XD)

But yeah, this will mostly have all my crazy obsession (SID, YUI etc.) as well as my everyday life =P
