Ooo…a long one! ::Shout Out:: Even though I am a bit late…HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! And also…HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my little sister, Lilly, who turned 16 years old on January 3rd.Ah yes…this coming Chinese New Years will be the Year of the Dog after this coming January 29th. ::Celebrating the New Year:: Umm…nothing too spectacular happened. Our family went out to dinner and celebrated my mum’s 46th birthday on New Year’s Eve. The following, New Year’s Day, our family went to Mt. Hoo Doo in South Eastern Oregon to ski, snowboard, and inner tube [aka, the autobahn]. Although the entire experience led to some pain and definite physical fatigue, it totally FUN *^_^* Ah yes…I had my share of building snow forts and engaging in mildly violent snowball fights. ::Work & School:: Yep. Tuesday marked my second week of working at the hospital this winter break. From yesterday until this Friday I will be working in the Outpatient [retail] Pharmacy – oh joy ^^;; Well, it’s not as bad as I make it out to me. I think that deep down inside, I actually enjoy what I do. ^^;; As for school, well, it’ll be back to the books on January 9th – ugh! I shall be moving back to my apartment complex this weekend. And you know what? I will be moving from apartment #8 to apartment #20 *^_^*. From the 1st floor to the 3rd floor – yes, I like to be in a higher position – over others, mwuahahaha! Snooty, I know. ::Bills, Bills, Bills:: As soon as my money comes rolling in, I gotta dish it back out. Hence, no profit! My bill from my doctor, dentist, optometrist, and hospital stay have arrived. And, let’s not forget the credit card bills from Christmas spending. And student loan bills, too. *sniffle* Goodbye, my thousands of dollars! ::Anime:: Chobits. Finished the 1st DVD volume & loving it! Hehe, it’s quite a funny & sweet show. “Hidaeki! Hidaeki!” *points at random objects* Mythical Detective Loki. A bit different from the manga, but not bad. We’ve been introduced to Narugami, Heimdell, Frey & Freya. Now, I want to see Spica! Sukisho! Gimme DVD volume 2, now! Dang, math teacher is hot! Paradise Kiss. The season is almost over. Only 2 fansub episodes left. I can’t wait to see the fashion show. What will happen between Yukari and George? Prince of Tennis. Sister and I finally started watching the beginning of the end. It will be a sad goodbye, definitely. Kaiken Phrase. I must admit. The anime series is a GREAT supplement to the manga series. Must watch more. Yakitate Japan!. Honestly, I will never tire from watching this hilarious, bread-based show [note: Monkey Orange’s site theme *^_^*]. Naruto. I am almost caught up with the fansub release. And sadly, the filler stories are beginning to annoy me. Why must there be SO many? It sucks, and I heard that there will be even more fillers…and entire season with nothing but fillers? Yuck. ::Manga:: Antique Bakery. A very cute shounen-ai. Reading this series also makes me want to drive back down to the French pastry shop in Corvallis to eat their yummy baked goods. Mmm…Wild Adapter. Made by the same mangake who did Saiyuki. Therefore, a pretty neat story with delectable Bishies as well. Of course, I can only [and sadly] read the scanlations. Ouran High School Host Club. My 1st manga purchase from Shoujo Beat company [which is the same as Viz ^^;;] I gotta say, that this series is ranking pretty high up there with Hana Kimi. Also, the anime version will be released in Japan this April. Hehe, I shall keep my eye out for the series in fansub, indeed. Chobits. Ock, I am nearing the end. I just bought vol 7, but haven’t read it yet. I wonder what will happen next? Death Note. This series, by far, is the MOST interesting manga series. It’s dark, the characters are complex, and the story makes you philosophize! Usually, my brain would start to short-circuit from such things, however…I really like this series. Theme: Killing. Does the ends justify the means? Who has the right to kill? Is there even a ‘right’? Is murder the same as killing? Vice versa? Very, very, interesting. ::All in All:: Yes. This was a very long post, I know. Ordinarily, I would normally visit all of your sites right after I post. However, I do not have much time especially after working my 10-hour days, and then BEGINNING my update at 9pm to make it current. Mum came into my room and told me to go to bed so that I won’t be sleepy at work. I guess I should. Well, I shall definitely visit you guys tomorrow when I have more time. Until then, have a great day! I hope that you all had a wonderful New Years! *hugs*
