Listening to: Moi Dix Mois

Feeling:

I had an AWSOME day today, and it's still not over yet!  Today Emi and I went to Uajimaya to hang out and buy the emptiness out of our wallets.  I bought a bunch of stuff for the anime club party at my school, I got some candies, Korean Pocky-like things, and some rice crackers.  Anyways... her and I sat for some informal dinner, but it was fun, we got to have a nice intellectual conversation like we always to, but I enjoy them very much ^.~  But it ends up that during the last 30mins of that informal dinner my mom was looking for us because she forgot to specify where we were supposed to be and when, and she forgot to ask where we were going.  But it was also partially my fault because I should have been responsible beforehand and told her where we were gonna go.  She was going to make us leave right then and there, but I was determined to get some new music, so I kissed her feet and appologized, luckly she cooled down later

I bought Utada Hikaru's "COLORS" single and Moi Dix Mois' first album "Dixinfernal" it ROCKS soooooo much, Mana-sama is such a genius; and "COLORS" is such a creative and pretty song, I love the traditional Japanese-like background music.  The sucky thing about this purchase, though, was that I wasn't able to pay for it the first time around.  I activated my bank card today and on the paper that it came with it said that I could activate it today, but it was being dumb and it didn't work...  so I had to borrow money from my sister, and surprizingly she let me!  But lately she's been getting out of her bad-mood-jr-high-I'm-better-than-you stage.  It was kinda funny what Emi said about my mom being mad at me, but I can relate with her, she said something like "yeah, my mom has had her share of that too, but it's never as frightening as someone else's mom doing it because you never know what to expect".

After that we went to a party at my friend Sarah's house to celebrate Dave's (a guy that attends Emi's church) offered misssion to Korea.  We watched a movie and pigged out and now my tummy hurts a bit, but oh well, the real punishment will come in my weight training class on Monday, I gotta lift heavy weights, and then on Tuesday I gotta run a mile T_____T I haven't done that in 1 1/2 years.

Now, I'm helping Emi move her online manga page onto my domain so she doesn't have to deal with the stupid pop-ups, unavailable pages, and low space availablity of Geocities *punches creator*  But seariouls Geocities is really helpful to her and I, but Emi's work deserves better!  So, I'm helping her get used to the Homestead scene, she uses HTML so she isn't used to this lower-class-I-don't-know-how-to-do-HTML-because-I-am-a-blonde scene (hehe I have a lot of those long descriptive words huh?)  So I'll probably be up for a few hours, but I'm proud to!  Bye for now!  *grumbles* I gotta do the 8 hour shift at my work tomorrow -__-;;; but oh well *looks forward to the wonderful world of expensive college life*...

Listening to: Utada Hikaru

Feeling:

Hello all!!  *Stretches* aaaaaaah I've just had two days off from work and it's been sweeeeet!  I also had early release at my school today too, so that was nice.  Lets see... last weekend I went to my dad's house and I had last Monday off because last Friday was the last day of my school's first semester *cheers* I can tell I did really well ^o^V  I just hung out at my dad's designing layouts and listening to music.  We also went to go see "Along came Pauly" it was O.K. I've seen better comedies... there were a few scene's that left me breathless though.  The sucky thing about the movie is that I was expecting the guy to be more of a riskless guy, he took some risks in the movie, but I thought he'd be wearing plastic gloves 24/7 wearing 10 layers of clothes in the cold, etc.

The weekend before that I had a sleepover with Val and Emi, we had a blast and we organized out our costumes for Sakura Con 2004.  Val's playing Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha, Emi's playing Sai from Hikaru no Go, and I'm playing Kenshin from Rouruni Kenshin.  We are gonna be the "Long-haired-kimono-wearing-bishounen" XDD.  That weekend I saw the movie "Big Fish" with them, it made my cry at the end.  I'm such a softy... the movie was very artistic, creative, colorful, beautiful, a true work of Tim Burton.

A miracle happened to me about a week ago.  I think my Ayumi obsession has finally come to an end, not slowing down, but it's come to an end.  I got an urge to listen to Utada Hikaru's "Deep River" album a week ago because Emi's friend Motoko burnt her and I a copy of it a year ago XD  I had listened to it back then, but never really listened to it, because of that I only really liked 2 songs from the whole album.  Anyways... so I listened to it again and realized how much I was missing!  I absolutly love the album now!  The songs "Sakura Drops" "Traveling" "Deep River" "Letter" "Let's Play (I think that's what it's called it's track 6)" and "Final Distance" are my favorite, before that I only liked "Sakura Drops" and "Final Distance" but I fell in love with "Final Distance" even more when I downloaded the PV, it was so touching.  I find the idea of twins who are really close and deticated to each other very moving, maybe it's a Gemini thing (you know, twins).  So I kinda made a compulsive purchase and bought her latest PV DVD ^.^;;;  But I really wanna see the PVs on that DVD in high quality, it'll be nice when I get it in the mail.

But just in case, I tested myself with Ayumi one more time, and I slightly failed.  But!  Now about 95% of her stuff I can't stand, I highly agree with what Emi's been telling me about her all along, her voice is too naisle and high, she's not a very good singer.  So the songs I still do like outa the 700 that I have are her considered best remixes; because no matter what I think I will always like a good 20 of her remixes.  They are quite good and her voice is usually changed in many ways so that makes it easier on the ears, lol.  Although I think I will keep checking every once in a while to see any new stuff she has to offer everyone.

I also watched Luna Sea's "Tonight" PV for the first time, it was sooooooo cool and there was this part where Sugizo's trench coat flew everywhere and I turned into a fangirl puddle *Q*  It was a very addicting and sexy PV.

1/12/04  8:46 P.M.

Listening to: Sugizo "Soundtrack"

Feeling:

=___= I'm really tired!  Today was my first day back at work in 3 days, I would have never thought that 3 days without work could affect me in so many ways.  My feet hurt and I'm really sleepy, but I also got only 5 1/2 hours of sleep last night cuz Sundays are always hard to fall asleep on for me.  The reason for that is because you've slept in and you stayed up late the night before, so my body thinks that I'm gonna stay up again, but I don't.  I also kept getting all of these idea's in my head so that just added to the problem.  THEN when I was almost about to fall asleep nature called and said "let the waterfall come down" so I had to get up and my mom was up too and she got really sturn with me, so I had to explain in detail that I was trying to go to sleep and that I had to use the b-room, etc.  But she still told me "well if you would get your sleeping schedual more in order this wouldn't happen" (hehe yeah, then why are you up?)

Listening to the Sugizo music wasn't that cool when walking to school today, maybe it's cuz I was so tired.  But for the first time in a long time I got to do what I wanted to do on my lunch break during to school.  For the past 4 weeks I've used that time to do my homework.  So that was nice ^.^  We made magic bars in my cooking class today and those just about gave me a heart attack!

To get people back into the Anime club at my school I'm gonna set up a contest to win a DVD box set at tomorrow's meeting and announce the meeting advertising that on the intercom announcments they make every morning at my school.  I'm also gonna set up my DVD player so we can watch all kinds of different anime.  I'll bring music, games, food, you name it, I'm gonna bring people back into that club!  The reason why everyone is beginning to leave is because Bunny decided not to run the RPG at the club anymore, and people began to loose interest because that was one of the main things we would do at the club, and because I don't know how to run an RPG I have to brainstorm for new ideas for the club.  So for the past 4 weeks I have been showing random anime movies, thus the club hasn't been at it finest.  Not only that, Emi's cousin came in right when Bunny quit the RPG, so he's not seeing the finest of the club eather, and I think he's lost interest as well... T^T  Y0OOOOSH!!!!  Ganbarimasu!!

X__x O.K. Miyuki is almost dead with sleepyness... so I'm gonna go to bed, g'night!

1/11/04  10:00 P.M.

Listening to: Serial Experiments Lain "Cyberia"

Feeling:

Well... I didn't do much today, I went home early to clean my room, I came home around noon.  So I cleaned my room & organized it out while listening to Sugizo.

My mom went shopping for food, so now there are all kinds of things in the house!!  We were literally down to canned tuna fish and Top Ramen, but not because we didn't have the money for food, but because we have ether been too busy to go out and get it, or because we were just too lazy XD.

I did start typing out the new Mp3 list for "Ausic" but I'm only half way done and that took me about 2 1/2 hours O_O;;  I think I'll have about 2,000 new Mp3s available for everyone, it's insane, it's an obsession lol.  Speaking of obsessions, thank goodness my Ayumi Hamasaki one is almost gone, I've gone from obsessed, to liking her on average,  I think I'll still download her new stuff till she stops singing and maybe buy some of my favorite stuff, cuz I still love her music, but I don't think it'll be the only think I'll listen to anymore ^.^;;;;;

I also finished putting all of my Mp3s and PVs onto disks, it took 40 blank disks O_O;;  So now I have a fresh new computer to use to download more lol XD 

Well... I'm goint to bed now, but I'm excited to listen to my Sugizo CD while walking to school (I'm really weird, I get so excited to listen to new CDs in the following places: at home sitting down, walking to school, in the car, and while cleaning.  Because every place I listen to it gives the music a whole new feeling).  Walking to school is one of the best times to listen to music for me, because it wakes me up and gives me a nice uplifting outlook at the beginning of the day, and that's what everyone needs, if everyone had that the world would be a better place!

1/10/04 ??:??

Listening to: Sugizo "Soundtrack"

Feeling:

Yo ho!  I'm REALLY excited!  Yesterday I went to Uajimayah!  For those who don't know what Uajimayah is or if you don'thave em where you live... Uajimayah is a Asian shopping center that comes with a book/music/magazine/video/manga store called "Kinokunya", a food center where you can buy all kinds of Asian food ^q^, a gift center where you can buy Sanrio goods, traditional clothing, beauty supplies, dolls, stationary, kitchen stuff, etc, and there are also a few other little stores in Uajimayah too, but I haven't checked em out, they are like eye wear stores, make-up stores, and hair care stores.  The Uajimayah stores to my knowledge are only in the North Western parts of the U.S.  I believe there are about 5 of em.  So, I had a lot of fun going there, Emi taged along cuz I promissed her I'd get her a Christmas gift there, so she bought two albums and I bought one for her, she consumed like $100 in music yesterday O_O then I bought the album that I have long waited to buy the "Soundtrack" album by Sugizo.

"Soundtrack" is INSANELY beautiful, you literally have not lived life until you have heard the music on this album.  Sugizo is a brilliant musician!  Hehe like all things I love a lot, I even made a fanlisting for the album  The songs "Synchronicity" "Twisted Circle" "Trauma ~ Memory in Red" "Misa's Other Half" "Fireman" and "Rest in Peace & Fly Away" are wonderful!  I HIGHLY reccomend Sugizo's music to anyone who wants to discover the meaning of life through music!  Emi even told me that his music literally changed her life, and I now know why she said that, she adores him to death and was the one who introduced him to me.  This album is actually a soundtrack to a movie called "Soundtrack" that has Sugizo in it.  I don't know much about it but I know that Emi's been dying to see it and now I am too.  As far as I know it's a dark & romantic movie that was made a couple of years ago.

I've also gotten really into Aikawa Nanase, her song "Konnani Ai Shite mo" is really gorgeous!  So I searched at Yesasia.com for that song and found it on her album "ID" and it has some really great reviews, so I'm hoping to get it on my next paycheck.  BoA also has a new album comming out soon!!  It's called "Love & Honesty" and it has her songs "Rock with You" "Midnight Paraide" "Double" "Shine we Are!" and "Milky Way".  I have been waiting for all these songs to combine into one album because I'm cheap when it comes to buying singles, I only buy singles if they come with different versions of a song that I really like.  Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki have the best singles because they usually come with about 5-9 remix tracks.

I got to hang around at my dad's today, I'm still here and I'll be here till 6:30 P.M. Sunday.  Right now I just looked behind me and my dad and my sister are both a sleep in front of the T.V. XDDD  That's a first in a long time...  I hope to organize out my room tomorrow when I get back, it's clean, there isn't anything on the floor (that's also a first in a long time...) but now I need to organize it out better because if I've gotten all of these cool things for Christmas I don't believe a deserve to use them until I've got myself organized out so I can keep those things safe and enjoyable ^.^  Well that's all for now, not much to talk about, ciao!

1/7/04  3:55 P.M.

Listening to: Aikawa Nanase

Feeling:

Hehe, it's been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long since I've last written in here, I know I've promissed a lot of things all around my site, but I'll try my best to keep my word this time, I promiss that I'll keep updating this site so that you Miyuki obsessed fan boys can know what's going on in my life (that would be scary if I had fan boys O__O;;)  Anyways...  Since the last time I updated, I got a job!!  I work at a retirement home called "Westly Homes" I'm a waitress ^o^V  I really like working there, it was really tough at first, but now I'm totally used to it.  I get paid $7.78 an hour and I work for 4 hours a day about 2-4 times a week, then sometimes I work Sunday which is a 8 hour shift.  It's sorta a weird place to work in cuz you only serve really old people and that can be difficult at times, but they (for the most part) are REALLY nice to me, some even remember my name ^.^

My classes in school have been harder than I've ever had in school -__-;;  especially my American History class >_> I do NOT know why I signed up for that class it's nothing but detail after detail of American politics, laws, wars, supreme court, presidential elections, etc (what I should really take is a vocabulary class... if they exist...)

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!  I'm sooooooooooo happy I've got Ayumi Hamasaki's new album "Memorial Address" the CD & DVD version the songs are soooooooooo great!  I especially love "Hanabi ~Episode II~" "Forgiveness" "Because of You" and "Ourselves" I basically love all the songs to death, but I'm not too fond of "Greatful Days" it just never appealed to me.  I also got her "Daybreak" maxi single!  I love "Daybreak (H/\L's Mix 2002)" it's sooooooooooo pretty, and I really like "I Am... (Nightclubbers Mix)".  I got both of these from me dad for Christmas, he even bought me a region-free DVD player for the Ayumi DVD ^o^  it playes DVDs (duh), CDs, VCDs, Mp3 CDs, Mpg CDs, Karaoke CDs, Jpg CDs, and HDCDs.  I'm excited because my Malice Mizer PV CD collection is comming in the mail soon ^o^.

Lately I have been really into GLAY, BoA, Dir en Grey (again), Raphael, Gackt, Sugizo (I haven't stopped since I began, arigatou Emi-chan!), and Ayumi Hamasaki (was a strange obsession over the summer, but now just your average interest).  In terms of anime/manga I'm still really into Chobits and Azumanga Daioh, but I'm waiting to get some money so I can buy "Jin-Roh" which is an EXCELLENT anime movie!  I'm also really interested in Pre'tear (as you can see in the layout) I've only seen one episode, but I like what I see!  The thing is, I'm REALLY cheap, I can't stand buying domestic DVDs, so I'm gonna wait till the cheap Taiwanese version of the anime comes out.  I'm also waiting to get some money so I can buy the X TV series, I have anticipated that for tooooooo long, I downloaded all of the soundtracks and a simply love the music, especially the character files (theme songs).  I'm also interested in "The Last Exile" I haven't seen any yet, but I plan to A.S.A.P

Around here it's SNOWING and that doesn't happen often, it's snowed about 3 times here in the past 7 days and it's sooooooo cool!  It snowed a ton yesterday, then later on in the day it rained and caused the top layer of the snow to turn into ice!  So I've had school off yesterday and today ^.^  It was weird Monday was my first day back at school after having 16 days off, and now I'm getting more days off lol.  It's soooooooo pretty too *o*.  But early this morning I got really scared...  I had to wake up at my normal time to get ready for school because I didn't know if school would be canceled, and once I'm up and outa bed I can't go back to sleep again... anyways...  so it's 6:00 A.M and I decide to look out of my living room window (the power also went out by the way >__> so NO heat for Miyuki) and it's fairly dark, but a little lighter than normal because of the reflection of the snow and above the tall trees to the left of the window I see a HUGE bright flash of turquoise light, so I ran to my mom because I thought we were gonna have a earthquake (because I watched the special on earthquakes about 2 years ago and some believe that you see a bright flash of color in the sky before a huge earthquake occurs.  Some claim they have seen it...).  But she just sighed and told me that that was the power plant, so we didn't have power from then until 30mins ago.

I've had a interesting day today, and it's still not over yet, I hope I don't have to go to school tomorrow ether, I might not have to because there is still a lot of ice on the roads around my school ^.^V  O.K.... hehe I'm done...
