So sorry I haven't posted in ages. I've lost interested, gotten lazy, been busy, and I was thinking about quitting both myO and TheO. I would but knowing me I would keep coming back. I'll probably just be in the shadows though, updating Japan Music blog on theO whenever I get the energy. Watching 4 friends leave this place in a 2 week span gets pretty sad. ]:

Anyways, guess I can tell you what's been up. We have midterms this week, but that's no biggy, just means we have Spring Break next week. Think I got straight A's. Lately, I've been studying my Korean books, actually just one. I'm trying to learn Hangul and its pronunciation before I dive into grammar, structure, etc.

Karate is still going. Made orange belt last week. The most exciting thing ever is coming up. We're hosting an international HaMunDo tournament at the end of the month. 50 bucks to participate in at least 3 events. There's a falling competition, kicking competition, self-defense competition, form competitions, weapons competition, and sparring competition. I have no clue what I want to do yet, but I do know I want to participate really badly. I know myself well enough that if I do forms, that requires memorization, I'll freeze and forget in the middle of my demonstration. I want to do sparring, just out of curiosity and fun, but I do alot bad habits like catching kicks and hitting in the head (which are both illegal). I don't know yet. . . yesterday we were sparring for fun and I got hurt twice. Think I jammed my pinky. Then I had a cut on my foot, and now my foot is swollen cause my brother stepped on it like 5 times while we were sparring. Maybe the cut is infected. . . stupid stick. -__-

I made chili last night. I've been wanting chili for so long. Thing is, I put beans in it now, then eat it with fritos. Dad complained about how that's not chili, and he kept going. Whatever. Then I asked my brother to clean the kitchen for me, he fed my chili to the dogs. Oh my word that made me soooooooooooo angry. I was planning on eating that for lunch the next day! I shut my game off and went to bed. ]:< Still not talking to him either. . .

Speaking of food, I finally decided to try yogurt after hearing the benefits from it. It's got an odd aftertaste, but I think I may start liking it after awhile. Acquired taste, I hope.

I got Final Fantasy XIII yesterday! It's more of a movie than a game actually. =| The battle gameplay and story line is quite confusing at first, but after about 4 hours of gaming, you'll catch on. It's a unique game that requires quick thinking and reflexes. *nods* Lot of fun. :D What's better is my Dad likes to watch {cause of the girls}, so that means I don't have to listen to his complaining while I play.

Anywho, think I'll be off. I got so many deadlines this week. Have to turn in applications for Sigma Kappa Delta, HaMunDo tournament, and a scholarship contest. Then I have to figure out what to do over the Spring Break holiday. I want to go somewhere. Either my half-brother's place, depending on him and his work, or New Orleans with my aunt. :D

Bye bye you guys. Don't know when I'll update next time. . .

"As long as you live, there will always be bad days, but also wonderful days."

Like always, my days has its ups and downs.

Lately, everyone around my house has been seriously agitated from each other. I'm trying my best to smile though it and not let it affect me, but it's starting to take its toll. Instead, I'm getting really irritated at the people at work. I think we all need to get out, ya know. My brothers have been exploding at the games, my Dad at them, it's all so trivial. My word. My brother came home pissed cause he had to take out 10 trash cans, it's part of his damn job! I can't come home furious if I get 100 pizza orders, can I?! No, it's my job. I told him that but he just rudely brushed me off. Plus, I was planning on playing the 360 for the first time in weeks, but they both stole the console from me. They play the shit everyday, I only get to play it once a week. Gah.

That's pretty much the bad news though.

In good news, I got a PSP the other day!~ I wasn't able to get any games til yesterday. I bought Crisis Core and Tales of World: Radiant Mythology. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I discovered yesterday, that you have to have a stupid memory stick to save, something that's not included in the PSP package. B/S! Now I have to make a third 30 min trip for the PSP.

Today I finally took the liberty to do some ACTUAL cleaning. I swept, scrubbed, annnd mopped the floors in the dining room and kitchen. Then I cleaned the stove top and the microwave. A 3 hour job. Plus, I cleaned some of my room, enough to make it look nicer. Tomorrow I plan on vacuuming the house. My room is like walking in sand. <__< It's nasty. >__>

THE GREATEST PART OF MY WEEK! I started watching this drama called 'Nobuta wo Produce' starring Kame from KAT-TUN and Yamapi from NewS. Omfg, it was so damn adorable!

~Kon Kon!~
Took me about a week to watch the 10 eps. I wish it was longer. . . too short. At first I didn't like Akira (Yamapi), but by the third episode he had me hooked. He was too adorkable. Nyahahah. Now I don't know if I like Kame more than Yamapi. . .

I do wonder how I'm going to play the PSP around dramas, games, work, and class. . . hm.

Brace Yourself. It's long.
It's been such a roller coaster ride these past days.

Saturday was a blast. I got to go to the weapons seminar for Karate. We split into two groups since we only had a limited number of bongs (Korean staff). I got to learn how to use the sword first, which I was sad about later. Our regular teacher taught use sword techniques, while a former student of his who went on to open his own school in the next town over taught bong basics. Learned how to properly draw the sword, sheath the sword, advanced cool way to sheathe the sword, the first sword form, and some sword swinging warm-up practices. He was pretty exhausting, specially how I don't have much upper body strength, so swinging the sword over my head got pretty tiring fast. After an hour and a half, we switched with the other group to bongs.
--- It's funny, but I thought the bongs would be easy. It's actually quite hard at first, with all its twirls and spins. My main problem was the teacher annnd the twirls. I guess I lost my coordination cause I couldn't twirl that staff right to save my life. T^T I ran into my problem when my cell phone's vibrating alarm clock went off inside my uniform, that meant it was 3:30. I was suppose to be at work at 4. I told my teacher that, but not the guy who was teaching bongs. Not to mention, the guy was hella intimidating. I tried so hard to wait when he was done giving instructions, then I excused myself to his wife instead, who was equally has intimidating. I got out of there and to work in time.

Work was fine Saturday. I kept myself occupied til 6 then cleaned up that horrible pizza area til about 8:30. You could tell no one had really cleaned it in ages because there was a pile of junk that I cleaned out from inside the pizza cooler. Sunday was good until 4, when my replacement is suppose to show. He didn't. I was so pissed off cause I get stuck with these replacements who usually pull a no-show. My previous co-worker, who was my best friend, no-showed me about 20 times. I refused to be no-showed by this punk. I tolerated it from the other guy cause he was my friend. Oooh. I was angry. He showed up at 5 though, saying he took a nap and no one woke him up. He should know that cell phones have alarm clocks. Next time he does it though, I'm calling my boss to fill in his shift so I can leave, cause then he gets in trouble 3 fold of what I give him.

Okay that made me angry again. *turns on HMK music to feel better*

I went shopping the other day on amazon~ I bought 5 Korean books:
-"Read & Speak Korean for Beginners (Book w/Audio CD): The Easiest Way to Communicate Right Away! (Read & Speak for Beginners)"
-"Basic Korean: A Grammar and Workbook (Grammar Workbooks)"
-"Korea - Culture Smart!: the essential guide to customs & culture"
-"Looking for a Mr. Kim in Seoul: A Guide to Korean Expressions (English and Korean Edition)"
-"Korean: Lonely Planet Phrasebook"
I made sure to range the type of books: a culture book, a phrasebook, grammar workbook, expressions, and a read/speak with the audio CD. The only thing I'm missing is a Korean/English dictionary, and I'm still thinking if I should get Hangul flashcards. I can't wait to get them and start studying~~ I plan on studying abroad on a summer program to Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea next summer. I wish it was next summer already. ;__; As for the legal documents, think I may wait for my next loan to work on my passport and VISA's.

Oh yeah, last week our cousin visited, and he's been working off on a tug boat. It's alot of money. I was saddened that he was splurging so much of it on himself. He bought himself a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, and a jacuzzi house, when he leaves by himself right now. I could understand that he helps in the future, but it seems like he's so consumed with the money. Now my brother is talking about working on the boat with him so he can make money. I'm sad yet relieved about it. He's talking alot about how he's gonna invest in a bank account so we don't have to worry about bills, get my twin a car, fix my car, buy us things. Ya know, he wants to spend the money on his family. I guess what makes me sad is about how my Dad sounded the same exact way when he was about to get his settlement. =| He ended up spending it all instead of really investing it. It just makes me worry. . .

Obsessive Thought of the Day:
I've been listening to Home Made Kazoku music all day, and it makes me want to start my own. . . movement. <_< Corny as it sounds, but feel good music is sooooo awesome. I think it would be nice to share it, ya know. Hm. Plus, if it ever became big, I could meet HMK and many many other artists. >///< Hehehe. I already decided that if I do, "Change" by HMK (the profile vid) would totally be my theme. <3

WELL. That's enough for today. Sorry I haven't been commenting on you guys lately. Blame the K/J Dramas! They consume me! Plus I've been so lazy lately. I have laundry sitting in the dryer, but I'm too hungry and lazy to fold it. ]:

Love you guuuuuuuys <3 <3

o.m.f.g.

Yesterday was truly marvelous. We had planned to go to my Aunt's place to catch a late Mardi Gras parade with her, but turned out Dad misread the parade information and we missed the last parade by a couple of hours. I was sad at first cause all we did was sit at my aunt's house and catch up. After a couple of hours, we got hungry, and Dad decided on finding a Po-boy shop. Instead, we wound up eating at my cousin's. Her husband is a New Orleans chef!! I think he owns his own catering business. He made pasta Jambalaya, huuuge BBQ chicken breasts, sausage, hamburgers, cheese pizza, chicken potstickers, shrimp wutongs, eggrolls, and barbecued jumbo shrimp! I never ate so much in my life before. I ate a plate of pasta jambalaya, 6 potstickers, a wutong, slice of cheese pizza, a sausage, and about 10 BBQ shrimp. Eventually, he picked up on how much I was eating, and how everyone was making fun of me for it. He became determined to fatten me up! Luckily, I got dinner devoured before I could look at more food. Of course, he wasn't done yet. He started bragging about this high class dessert called Banana Foster, and it was sooo good. He taught me how to make it too :3 heat up butter, brown sugar, bananas, and cinnamon, then you serve it over vanilla ice cream. Amazing. I ate my plate and my Dad's. Then he and his wife started talking to me about trying their brownies. I wasn't paying attention well until he scooted the plate of brownies in arms reach. <___< Temptation got the best of me. Dude it was chocolate brownie with gooey chocolate fudge in the middle of it! I took the another one, which was last one, before leaving too. :D

I felt bad because alot of the stuff he made was frozen, so of course my arrogance thought it was store bought. I didn't realize he made all that THEN froze it to be used later. Some kind of special meat mixed with Angus beef to make his burgers; made his own pizza crust and pizza sauce. His two kids and wife eat like royalty! I feel sorry for the kids cause the cafeteria food at their school must make them puke!

If they didn't live two hours away, think I'd go over there once a week to eat. <.< He told me not to be a stranger and visit often! :D I'll have to have my half-brother meet him one day. . .

Well, I'm happy, and so is my tummy. =^o^= I'm gonna go clean up so when I get back from Sociology class I can take a nap. I wish Spring Break would be here by now. I need sleeep.

I know you're jamming to my profile video. You better be! :D

Anywho, I'll make this fast since I got to leave for Sociology class in 30 minutes.

Lately I've been pulling out my hair because of our internet connection. My brother has slowed down our net because he's always downloading some movie or anime series, PLUS he plays World of Warcraft! It's put a serious hinder on my drama watching, and I don't like people interrupting my drama watching. ]:<

Doing more hair pulling because I came home to start on my missed Computer class assignment only to realize that the stupid document is saved on the school's network, so I have to wait to go back to class to grab it. Then I have to come home, skip my nap to talk to the teacher on Pronto messenger, get step by step instructions on the assignment, and turn it in by tomorrow. I'm starting to hate this class because it seems so easy to forget an assignment. -__- I feel like I forgot to turn in 10 assignments. . . Hate that feeling sooo much. If it wasn't for my period's perfect timing, I wouldn't be stuck in this mess! Gah.

On a good note, I think. Tomorrow, we're 'supposedly' going to my Aunt's place, which is two hours away, to visit and go to a Mardi Gras parade! I'm excited, slightly. Dad hasn't been able to reach her. Plus, that we have to leave at 12 tomorrow, which means skipping Karate class. Nooo. I hate skipping Karate <3 It's too much fun! I kinda hope we don't go. . . then again I wish to see my relatives. ]: Dilemmas, dilemmas.

I tried to make an account on SKorea's Cyworld; it's their social network where all their hot hot hot celebs blog. I failed. I had two sites that gave step by step instructions for it, but they were both outdated because the site had changed it's layout. Plus, they require some form of ID and a residence number. So not fun. I wanted to get on there and make friends. I think it would've been an exciting social experiment. ~^.^~ I'm so silly. Maybe I'll try again one day. ;)

Anywho, I'm off! Toodles~ Have fun!

Uggggh. I feel downright horrible. I wish I could have that time of the month once every year. ;___; None of my pills are working. I tried filling my stomach with waffles since an empty stomach usually makes my cramps two times worse, but my stomach still hurts. I almost went to classes, but I backed out at the last minute when I thought about how there's 99% chance there was going to be a test in World Lit that I didn't even study for. It's on the first 18 cantos of Dante's Inferno. Her study guide for the 18 is over 10 pages long. -___- I'm upset that I missed computer class. That's a hassle and a half to make up. Can't even remember what I've turned in and what I haven't. Ugh.

I may have to skip Karate, even though I'd really really really hate to do that. I love Karate too much. ]:

Right now I'm waiting on a 1 o'clock announcement about whether tomorrow's classes will be canceled. It's suppose to sleet tonight and snow tomorrow.

Well, I'm off to email my World Lit teacher, then maybe pick up on 'My Girl.' I'm rewatching that til another episode of Yamato is released. Jun Ki is the smex <3 My smex <3 MINE. :D

You just wait. I'm going to be the biggest Chinese Star in the world.
-- Bruce Lee


I should write MSNBC and tell them how us Westerns see Beckii Cruel. The last thing she needs is US publicity, but knowing our generation, her fame will die out quickly. Anywho.

So Dad's back to normal again. He got pissed off on Friday and stayed like that all day and night Saturday. I didn't want to have to deal with his mood on Superbowl Sunday, so I apologized to him on myspace. He was in a better mood the next morning and talking to me again, although we never mentioned the myspace apology I sent him.

The weather has been quite trippy, no? Pretty Spring-ish weather yesterday and now it's dunked into the 30's. I'm tired of cold weather. T___T

The other day I accidentally got into the habit of watching dramas again. I'm watching my second Japanese drama! My first was Hana Kimi, which I watched about 2 years ago. Otherwise, I've been on the slew of Korean dramas. My recent drama is Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge, better known as The Wallflower manga. It's very cute and funny. :3 I'm in love with Kame (the actor who's the main character). He's from KAT-TUN, but the thing is I did love Ueda from that band but then I switched after watching Kame in a couple of eps. He makes sexy expressions. AHEM. Sadly there's only 4 epiodes out right now! ;____; I don't know what to watch after it! *cries* I can't wait for more episodes, I'll die!

But anyways. . . .

I'm done for now. I shall take my three day off work weekend (Monday-Wednesday) and catch up on sleep, which probably won't happen til tomorrow. SPeaking of weekends, I've been talking to my half-brother about traveling *googles it* 5 hours to his town and spending a weekend there. I wanted to go this weekend because it's there only Mardi Gras night, but seeing how it's very short timing, I may have to wait on the weekend of the 26th to go. I still haven't talked to Dad about any of my ideas, nor my brothers. . . -__- I don't know what they'll say. I would go by myself but Dad won't even let me travel into town at night by myself. =| What to do, what to do.

Adios amigos, I'm off to finish ep 4 of the Wallflower <3 Grrr my net has been on the fritz. ]<


WHO DAT WON THE SUPERBOWL

To hell with circumstances; I create opportunities.
-- Bruce Lee

Day 2. Still being ignored like a shunned child. Not to mention he's also gone into serious depression and drinks whiskey mixed with soda. He'll get over it eventually. Kind of bugs me though, his pride. He got pissed off because he expected us to give him money without him asking for it. But we didn't. Thinking about just giving him 500 bucks and telling him to do whatever he wants with it, not to even worry about the bills. I rather everyone be happy and me poor than everyone angry over money. -__- Where in the world does he get all the energy to stay angry like that?! My word.

Speaking of bad moods, one hit me again for the third straight weekend. I was hoping to have someone work my 4 to 7 shift tomorrow for the SuperBowl. I had three people lined up, 2 agreed with me, the third was my boss' pick. Haven't heard a peep from one them since Thursday, the other one backed out for his own Superbowl plans, and the third one has a shift at the other store. O.m.f.g. I can not have anyone help me cover my shifts when I go around helping cover other peoples' shifts. I'm come to my own terms that I won't take any more peoples' shifts unless I do it for my own purposes. ]< I have a weapons seminar for Karate class on the 20th, during my morning shift. Right now, my other pizza coworker has agreed to switch shifts with me at that time; let's hope she doesn't back at as well.

Well, it's going to be a long weekend with Mr. Grumpy Pants over there, wish me luck.

Love you guys <3

Oh yeah, btw, Bruce Lee pwns.
