Hope you liked them ^_^. I'm not in any of these pics if you're wondering, but I was photographed XD. Rony-san (the brother I borrowed the pics from), had alot of pics, I just picked a few of them. Jose-san (another good brother) took a group pic where I am in, and I know he has taken much more, so maybe I'll ask him if I can download them to my PC :3.

   Goodness

So where to begin? so many things to do, so little time. I haven't been this busy since I started school again. Well, I didn't work before so now that I work and study, it's even more busy. Last time I updated was september 16 or so ._. Wow it just flew by... Well I'll start babbling then XD. Let's begin with the reconstruction of my Kindom Hall :). It's going great so far! it has been 4 weeks since we started, and only 2 more weeks left. That's the estimated time, but we'll probably be done earlier! Yeah that's how fast it's going ^_^. I'll put up pics of how far we've done, I just have to ask for a brother that took pics with his camera to let me save some to my computer. I would have taken my camera, but I kept forgetting to pack it in my backpack >_<; But anywhoo it is great helping out in construction and stuff, even though I don't know about it. The brothers that have experience and knew helped the others that didn't ^^ (like me XD). Most of the time we helped maintain the workplace and paths clean of tools, rocks, poles, wood, carrying supplies over, etc. At noon, we have lunch made by sisters from the local congregation and give us food :). After 1:30 PM or so we start working again, and some brothers stays late until nightime and others leave (not everyone stays since some have busy schedules and comes to help out for a while but then they gotta go; it's allright though since it's voluntary :)). We also have to guard the place at night everyday (well mostly during the week; weekends are the heavier work) since everything is outside and obviously there's no locks or keychains. The brother in charge of vigilance ask brothers who can help and they all take turns to guard at certain times of the day/night. At night is tough X_x specially for the brothers that have to guard from 12:00 am to 3:00 am and then from 3:00 am to 6:00 am. It's a lot of work and effort, but it's getting done :). I went to vigilance once, a wednesday, from 6:00 pm to 12:00 am. It was nice ^_^ it isn't too bad. I work so I have no time in the day. So all in all, that's what's been happening lately that's in the works. I can't wait to see how it will look when it's finished! ^_^ Everything is brand new! :D We needed a remodeling. Hopefully I'll be putting pics soon for you to see. School is okay so far, I have a 50 question mid-term to take next week. GOODIE! >_< XD. I have to start working on that now. Okay, that is all for now, thank you all if you stop by and read this entry :). ~Lys

   Be happy~

Wow, it has been a while ._.; Time just go fast in MyO than in theO XD ^^; lol. and so, I'll start babbling on about what happened in the month that passed :) Hmm well I can't remember all XD. Okay, okay, in all seriousness, I have been doing okay, you know the usual. Thanks to God, all the important things are doing fine ^^. This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, everyone in our congregation is invited to help in our Kingdom Hall's reconstruction :] (that's the place where we have our meetings). It's getting renovated, so we'll need all the help we can get ^^. What a honor! even if I don't know squat about construction, I'll still help :D. Besides, there are many other things we can help out with, like with the food for the workers 'n stuff :). It's going to be a wonderful experience ^^. There are other roads in stored though. I'll be going to school! yeah can you believe that? after a year...heh, but is not college, is an institute. I don't exactly see the difference, but then again, I can't say much since I have never been to either one. So far, in both places you gotta pay lol. That much will be the only thing that all higher educational places have in common. Gah~ Why do I feel nervous? is it because I have been away from tests, the stupidity of the class clowns? or because I will be taking a Dental X-ray liscence course where I have no experience at all? Hmm...yep, the second one sounds about right XD. Yeah, I'm just nervous. I'm going to try this and maybe I'll like it. I was persuaded by a friend to take the training class. She did took it and she says it's easy, and she works at a dental office. I was considering something in the medical field since a lot of jobs are mainly in this category...but I am not sure. I'm not sure if I'm the "medical" type of person. My friend helped me to get in and she said that I could do it :) also that she would help me with the material since she knows. Well....I want to study something, and this door opened up to me. I closed it once, and now it has opened to me again. This time, I'm going to enter it, and hope that it will turn out okay. After all, is only one day for 3 months ne?. God is always first though :) I already talked to my boss and he said that I could work whenever I can, so that's a +. So watashi wa will be working for only 4 days a week :). Oh boy, I'll be more busy now. Will there be room for computer time? Stay tunned :)...just kiddin' XD I dunno...maybe, maybe not. Dear minna-san, hope you all understand if I don't comment on any of your post or graphics at all...I still have that knack to make graphics, and I'll still submit my new stuff (or old stuff XD) that I might make/find. I'll be sticking more to comments though, like I have been doing lately, but as far as updating my blog, that won't happen for a while. Let's see how things work out ne? ^^ Take care, ja ne! ~Lys "My help is from Jehovah, The Maker of heaven and earth. He cannot possibly allow your foot to totter." -Psalm 121:2, 3.

   Good thing titles aren't required here

It's August now...almost half the month left and it'll be September...my goodness, autumn will be here in no time and soon we are going to see the first white little snowflake coming down. That's how time flies so fast :O. Doesn't it make you think, 'wow where did yesterday went?' As fast as time goes, yesterday I saw a little bit of the Perseid Meteor Shower starting at 9:00 Pm, northeast. Thanks to Shishou for the info on that *^^* I had no idea. I tried going to the highest place in the house, which is the emergency fire stairs exit. It goes up to the attic, and down to the 2nd floor. Anyways I went as high as I could and looked for the shooting meteors. I didn't see much, but mostly saw fast yellow/orange lighting appear. It was kind of cloudy though, so I couldn't enjoy it that much T_T but it was surprisingly cool outside though :3. Well at least I can say I saw something XD. What about you guys? Did you catch it? Gaming report! I bought a DS lite, the red and black one :]. Finally, I have a nintendo system of my own X3 (brother is always the one buying new nintendo stuff, he's the gamer :P) I started playing it, with the New Super Mario Bros game (my bro let me borrow it) and it's cool! new and refined from the old pixilated mario XD lol. Anyone has play it? I like how you can get big with the giant mushroom :3 lol. Since I'm not used to having a nintendo, my own anyways XD, I forget to play it so I haven't play it for too long. Guess who has play it more? If you guessed my brother, you are wrong XP LOl. It's my mom, yeah you read right, my mom is addicted to the game LOL. Didn't see that one coming '__'; XD She likes playing the mini-games :] Awww it's funny seeing her play, but so cute ^^. She can't beat my scores though XD 8D lol. So que mas...oh yeah! something that finally made my summer a bit exciting was that I went to Dorney Park on saturday =]. I remember I went there once 2 years ago, and it was with a friend of my mom's...I mentioned this one too. It kinda sucked beacuse she had a little kid who is hyper all the time and I was helping her taking care of him so I hardly went to any slides at all. I felt that she needed me so I couldn't leave her. Anyways, I didn't explore the entire waterpark then, but now I had a chance to go again and I did went to many rides ^_^. It was fun! We went with mostly the little group that played volleyball so we didn't play that saturday. This saturday (the 16th I believe) is going to be the congregation's picnic, so we will be taking the v-ball court too! and hamburgers :3 lol. Well that's all for now folks, please excuse me for my lack of commenting, you all should know by now how I'm bad with the visiting/commenting >_<. Here, this is for all of you that came by: and if you're the sweet-tooth kind of person, you have a choice too ^^ *munches the happy hamburger* btw, I didn't make these, credit to the original graphix makers. Take care all ^_^, ~Lys

   Random ramblings

Hey all, what is everyone up to? Just wanted to post something as, yet again, I haven't done so in a while. I did gave a heads-up anyways so it's not like you guys didn't know ^^;. Um well here I am again...umm...I'm not sure what to type about... ..... Erm, well maybe I can tell you what have I've done today. Today, supposely, I went to the beach...yeah I said "supposely" because we didn't -_-; Mom and I were invited to come along with some old friends that we knew from my country Ecuador. They are nice people, they had space in their car to takes us ^^. Uh, We went to the beach, but we didn't exactly went in it. We went to a waterpark that was in front of the beach first because of their two little kids they have. Well that was allright, we agreed we would go later to the beach. So yeah, it was a nice waterpark, you know like your average waterparks you see with the slides and everything. Now, after we went in, probably about 20 minutes later, it started dizzling and we looked up and it was a black cloud coming ._. It was cold! can you believe it? at the beach! okay well, near it ^^; but a cool breeze was blowing, and it wasn't a very delicate one >_>; Somebody said it was just going to be a sunshower, and it was true, it only lasted for about 10 minutes or so but it rained hard O.o. Oh yeah, we were still in our clothes too since we JUST got there! >_< *sighs* we got somewhat wet and found somewhere to cover (under a wooden roof but it wasn't entirely a complete roof, I'm not sure how to explain it ^^; they also had like 3 little tents but they were filled with people that were also with clothes on; btw the park was full with people) and it was awful -_-; After it stopped, YAY THE SUM CAME OUT AND EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL...after another 10 minutes again we saw another cloud coming >_____< this time it was a bigger one. @__@ *sighs* Well I don't want to keep on going on I must be boring you by now. In summary of this whole trip, it rained 3 times on and off, and on top of that it wasn't even that hot. Back at home (which was a 2-hour drive from the beach) it was HOT and HUMID! why we didn't have that weather over here?! >_< it was just plain crazy. A complete dissapointment...I didn't even got the chance to be at the beach because we went to the waterpark first T_T. Yeah we left kind of early. So you know, our friends also felt bummed about how the weather turned out, and they appologized, but you know that was uncalled for, it wasn't their fault the weather went bersek on us ._. But it wasn't so bad I guess. Maybe next time...=] So yep, that was my Sunday, and tomorrow back to work again. O.o Oh wow, very sorry for the long ramble there, I hope I didn't bore you or scared you or something ^^;; Also my eyes are doing better, I can wear my contacts now ^_^ (head over to my theOtaku world for more info on that, I posted a while ago on there. Sorry I feel kind of tired at the moment, I don't want to explain again...I'm about to go to sleep now). Okay minna I think I'll stop here, thank you for coming by and also for your nice comments you all give me ^^. It's always fun to read them. Take care! ~Lys

   Arigato gozaimasu

Wow, it's great to hear from you all again ^^. I didn't expect that many comments, I actually thought not many were going to see my previous post for my lack of commenting. I appreciate them very much, so domo-arigato minna! ^_^ And Shishou-chan! thank you for stoppin by, it has been a great while since I heard from ya ^^. And everyone else also! so again, thanks for visiting me :D. Well, almost a month has past since I wrote something, I can't believe time has gone so fast! we are already in june! before we know it, it'll be 2009 O_O. Time sure is valuable, after each minute is gone, there's no way in getting it back...ever. Hmm...everything's been allright so far, aside from family problems that everyone has. Please bare with me after this, I'm about to just write my thoughts and ramble alot. I feel like typing, which is something I don't do often. Things are going a tad rusty with my older brother...parents are not liking it and myself included...*sighs* hopefully he knows what he is doing, and is aware of how much change he...um...But nevertheless, we are all trying to go foward and I try to keep a positive attitude all the time =]. I thank God that he blessed us by knowing about him and learning more about the Bible =]. Pray. If you have a problem that's bothering you, let God know about it, and he'll help you. Pray for others too. Whatever it is, sickness, a death, deppression, economic problems, natural disasters, anything. He will never let the humble stumble...Psalms 37: 39-40 gives me a lot of encouragement...it says -"And the salvation of the righteous ones is from Jehovah; He is their fortress in the time of distress. "And Jehovah will help them and provide them with escape. He will provide them with escape from wicked people and save them, Because they have taken refuge in him. " Doesn't it give you faith and hope when you know there is someone higher, someone that created us, and that truly knows what's best for you? That's what always keeps me positive and happy, even when we are facing obstacles in this troubled world. *sighs of happyness* ^_^ thank you, minna for hearing me out this far if you read the whole thing ^^. I just...I've had this feeling of letting you all know about Jehovah God for a while now, and how he has blessed everyone who truly wants to know him ^^. I got quite deep in this didn't I? ^^; well, thanks for always visiting me ^^. Everytime you visit me, I always want something to take with you in memory, something positive to think about =]. Okay, I think I wrote enough, so I'll be leaving for now. Take care and until next time ^_^* ~Lys PS: As promised Drifter-chan, I uploaded the photo I took of some flowers that were near the bus stop I was waiting to go to work =]. Took it with my cellphone :3. I'm no proffesional, but I do enjoy taking pictures =]

   Not dead yet

Yes I'm still alive and kickin' =]...I wonder who will read this? I have only visited two people, so I guess only two...well, today let's see how many people do I visit, hopefully I'll get everyone that has updated and has been active of course. Hmm, I need to clean up my friend list some now...but no worries, if you do come back and you're not on my list just let me know and I will add you again. I just clean my friend list once in a while. So what's new from me? in one word, fine =]. Nothing new, nothing big. Oh, wait, there is something: now we have a car =]. It's in okay conditions considering that it was used. There are some minor paper-related issues though, but hey at least is something. Mom and I still take the bus to go and come back from work, it has become a routine and it's easier since my dad it's not an early bird XD and there are things that need to be fixed with the car so it's allright I guess. Volleyball games are going pretty good ^_^ last saturday was fun! we found a new spot since it rained the day before and where we used to play was really muddy so we decided to find a new spot =]. I like the new spot ^_^ there's a cool tree close by that one of it's branches hangs low and it's about 10 inches above me ^^. The branch is pretty steady, so sometimes I hanged there like a monkey XDD. There are little kids as well so they want to hang there badly XD. They were like -"please pick me up!! I want to!" and "yeah me too!!" and another kid "me me meeee!" ^_^; so you could picture that XD. As a matter of fact, let me do it for you: Something like that XD quick doodle on paint XD; Well that's all for now everyone, thank you very much if you haven't forgotten about me ^^; I certainly did not forget about myO, but it'll take a while for myO to be like it was. Probably that is the reason why I haven't been around much... I heard that someone (Sesshy?) is going to make the new MyO comment box layout thing, so I am looking foward to that ^^. I think that's something that'll make my Otaku have a little push foward ^^. Let's see how everything goes okay? Take care all and see you soon, hopefully! thanks minna, ~Lys

   Oh boy...

I'm sorry minna-san....I don't update anymore :/ I'm not even up to making a site club and keeping it active -_-; hardly anyone visits anyways... Where is everyone?... I don't like this, VV just crushed poor MyO. No one is around here anymore, probably only the ones who are truly faithful to MyO and wants to stick no matter what. *sighs* *coughs* *coughs* yes, I am with the dreaded spring allergies right now >_< runny nose, itchy eyes, and some minor headaches that I get are making the spring season the most disliked season of all. Despite that, I just love the feeling spring gives...how all the flowers bloom and how all the petals fall beautifully and gracefully from the trees...I just want to stop and look at them ^^. Unfortunately, allergies usually last for at least 2 weeks or so -___-; *sighs* goodie. *coughs* *blows nose* my poor nose is so red and warm =[ ouch. But! sorry for the allergy rant there, I don't want to bore you with that. We started playing volleyball now, and boy does that feel good! ^_^ only the first saturday that we started playing I was feeling fine, then the following one (which was yesterday) I started feeling the itchy nose and eyes >_<. It wasn't much so I still went, but when we came back, bam! sneezing non-stop. Mom is also with the allergies and she has it more stronger than I. Surprisingly, my bro and dad don't have it so bad though...hooray for them >>; XD ANYWAY, work has been okay...still wanting to changing it. I gave my resume to my friend and she said she'll give to the people there to see if when a spot is avaliable they would hire me. She already asked but they say they aren't hiring anyone for now. No worries, I'll be on the look-out :). My Bible study is also going pretty good, remember that I told you that I gave two little kids studies? well now I only give it to one of them, the boy, since it was hard and it wasn't working out much with the little girl...I didn't had much time and she didn't exactly payed attention >> I know she's just a little girl, but later on I found out that she was a "special" girl. Her mom told me she has some kind of learning disability. I told her honestly that it wasn't working for me anymore and that it would be better if someone else more capacitated would teach her and maybe progress more than with me. I really want her to learn, and I wasn't feeling that she was going to progress if I did it. So yeah, now Ashley has a new teacher =]. She still sticks to me like gum though XD. The boy has made progress, he remembers alot and ask interesting questions =]. Youkata ^_^. He's very shy though XD. I also invited them to play volleyball on saturdays and they have been coming. It's great, that way they can make new friends in the congregation ^^. In other news, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the new club I started (the nature's club)I try to update, but no one really visits it...should I transform it to something else? 'cause I do have an idea...but I'm not telling you until I put it up ;) just a hint: It'll be inspirational and good for the soul :). Well that's all I have for the time being, I'm very sorry I don't comment much anymore, even though I do give occasional comments when you put up new art or something, I get aware and try to see it and comment it. Please forgive me *bows* Take care minna and I hope I come back around soon ~Lys

   Lys, where have you been?
Yes I know, here I am again posting after a long time that has passed ._. Gomen again, I really didn't mean to leave my poor otaku lonely without updates :[. Well, how are you all? hopefully everything is okay at your end =].

So yeah, what have I been up to? well, I've been working obviously, which it has been going okay so far. Though, my mom wants me to find another job since this one is not that good for me. Remember that I work with boxes, packing some old electronic parts and whatnot, so it's not very good for me. I am allergic to dust and there is a LOT of dust in that place. Not to mention, spring is here, which means...yeah you guessed it, allergies >_<. *Sighs* I can't get near flowers at this time of the year, and I love flowers T__T. So yeah, I already talked with a friend to see if she can help me find a job at her workplace.

The good thing is that our volleyball games are gonna come back soon! As soon as the temperature starts to rise and the weather is nice, we'll be playing v-ball again ^_^. I need to practice now! haven't touched the ball since autumn. Can't wait to get everyone together and spent a happy time with them ^_^.

What else...oh, my dad and brother are going to a trip to Maryland this sunday to do some business, so hope everything goes okay with that. Tomorrow after work, Mom and me are going to the mall.

Graphic wise, I finally uploaded something XD. I made a new e-card so check it out if you can. Thanks to those who did already and commented =].

That's all for now, I will talk to you guys later and take care =].
