   [LIFE // ...onegai...??!]

hmm, it seems everyone has left the house beside me. i don't feel like fixing an elaborate lunch for myself, so i'm having a simple ham & cheese sandwich and a mug of nice, hot milk tea in front of my compy. *satisfied* ^-^ well, i went to the mall today to get something for my friend. after that mission was accomplished, i headed straight to Waldenbooks, my fave store in the mall. unforunately, i didn't get to spend a lot of time to browse in there. since it's a weekend, there were many people sitting on the carpet in the narrow manga aisle chatting & reading manga. needless to say, it was difficult to get close to the shelves w/o stepping on someone or having to continually say "excuse me!" & "oops sorry!!" ^_^; actually, i also like to study & read in large bookstores like Borders or Barnes & Noble. in small stores like Waldenbooks (or FYI & Suncoast etc.), however, i'd like to keep my shopping time to an absolute minimum to avoid getting evil looks from the store personnel. (notice how the manga & animation departments are always situated so close to the cash register?) i couldn't blame them tho, i'd also get annoyed if some lousy shoppers come into my store, browse for hours, and then leave w/o buying anything. but *in defense*...i DO intend to make a purchase! i'm just indecisive and need more time to make up my mind!! `_` and so, all i bought are Saiyuki vol.6, RuroKen vol.10 (YAY! we finally made it into double digits!!) & a FMA figurine that comes in a sealed box. i was hoping to pick out Edward or Alphonse, but as it usually happens, i got stuck instead with a secondary chara (Winry Rockwell). it's OK, i do like winry. however, i AM disappointed that although it says a small bag of candy comes with the toy, it was nowhere to be seen. ~_~; did the Japanese manufacturers take it out when they shipped the toys over to the U.S.? i know it isn't a big deal and it's probably just some sugar candy very similar to "smarties" and i shouldn't get worked up over it...it WAS still a misleading label! sheesh. i was really looking forward to the candy too. >_<; hmm, my brother just called and told me he's currently attending an anime convention near his campus. since i couldn't be there *sighs*, i'm making out a request list & some directions for him that i hope he'd take heed of. namely, i'd really like a kenshin statue, in addition to ones of kikyou & sesshoumaru-sama. so, dear ototo, with what meager funds you've, get something for me! *waves fist threateningly* ...we can talk about a tradeoff later, lol. ^_^; REPLY: thanks guys! it's somewhat a comfort to know that there're sleepless people like me out there. but i'd rather hear that everyone can sleep well, unlike me. yes, we can really start an insomnia club! and Naide, i didn't fall asleep until past 6am this morning...it's a bad sign, right? ahhh, caffeine does sound good right now. lol, i wish i live in japan...i could have gotten these cool mini gundam figurines w/ every bottle of Pepsi (Coca Cola is still better, btw ^_^;) at the friendly, local 7/11!
