New Layout (Again ^^;)

2006-05-21T20:35:00.000-04:00

Hey! This is the new layout I've been talking about! ^^ I'm really pleased with it. It's a wonderful colour, plus my eyes don't hurt everytime I try to read something! It does have problems with embedded things, though, but I'll just have to work that out. By the way, I've switched to another layout designer. Gomen nasai, Syrianwind-san! I just had to switch, and it's a pleasant change, ne? I love this layout! Feeback is requested.

I'm not so worried that much about my health problem. I've been consoled (courtesy of CapturedWings Forums), and I feel much better about it. If someone at school makes fun of me because of it, well, I'll just ignore them and move on. I have a life to live, and I can't just sweat the small stuff, ne? On the other hand, I feel really worried about it. Still. It's embarassing because I could have done something to prevent it. The specialist that I'll go to (once the specialist coming to my school has seen it and diagnosed it), will probably think poorly of me (for example, "she has no disipline! She's lazy!"). It's extrememly embarassing, but I don't know what'll happen if it gets worse. I hope I'll be okay.

Sorry, sorry! I know I promised some reality show stuff, but I've got other things on my mind. I promise I'll write something sometime this week. Next week I might be unable to, since I'll be headed out of town.

I'll organize the navigation soon and add some more goodies. Possibly some pics, anime info, lyrics? Whatever, I'll try to get some good stuff for you.

So Many Worries, Writer's Block, and Layout Contemplations.

2006-05-18T19:12:00.000-04:00

I'm rather worried about my health. I've been doing everything I could to maintain it, but it seems like my attempts have not been working. It's embarassing having everyone know I have this health problem, too (especially at school). Hopefully everything will be alright. I'm rather scared what everyone will think. But I suppose being positive about the whole thing will make things much pleasanter and make me feel less stressed about the whole thing.

I've lately been having a lot of failed attempts to make time in order to write my fanfics. I feel awfully bad, because I've received so many reviews and are unable to reply at this moment. I honestly hope I can find time to write over the long weekend, perhaps amid all the fireworkers going off (for Victoria Day?). But I may go to the States that weekend, so I might be unable to write! But most likely it's not going to happen. I'm looking forward to lightweight homework, and a couple of days of rest, relaxation (which of course has to include CapturedWings Forum, YouTube shows and AMVs, writing, reading, and listening to music. Yes, I have no life. Haven't we gone over that many times? XD).

I'm also thinking of changing the layout. For some reason, I think the pink fonts and colouring are turning me off, causing me to feel more lazy and unenthusiastic about writing on this blog (gomen nasai Syrianwind-san!). I already have another layout in mind, a green one with another one of my fav anime couples (You'll see!)It's really beautiful, and plus it's really kawaii. I hope you'll like it ^^;

Anyway, thanks for tuning in. I may make more posts later, regarding American Idol, The Amazing Race, and America's Next Top Model (mmm... reality show goodness! :D)

Recent Anime(MV)

2006-05-17T18:55:00.000-04:00

Tsubasa Chronicle, as you most likely already know, has already put out Episodes 27 and 28 of the Arc II. But Episode 29 has been released in Japan already and so far no subs have been released (not on bittorent, nor YouTube). Let's hope they get some out soon!

I've lately been obsessed with AMVs on YouTube (check profile link on the left for what I've been watching). I watch everything from the hilarious to the dramatic (sometimes the dramatic is hilarious! XD). But they're all good. I sometimes watch anime of there too. They are Pita-Ten (Misha-san is kawaii!), Marmalade Boy, Tsubasa Chronicle, Cardcaptor Sakura, and some Naruto.

P.S. Anime North is coming up. I probably won't go. My dad was saying something about going to the states during the con anyway, so yeah. I just don't feel like it. (SHOCKER!) I can't believe I just said that. But yeah. I don't know if I'm really in the mood. Perhaps next year I could attend, and even cosplay (Suu!)

Bummed.

2006-05-13T14:22:00.000-04:00

Feel free to disregard this post completely.

I feel like crying. I should stop pretending to act like I know that someone. Because I don't. I feel so stupid... what was I thinking? I know it's not going to go anywhere. "Calm down, Sakura. It's not like it was going to get anywhere, anyway," Sakura mumbled to herself, eyes filling with tears. "What was I thinking?" That's a (future)line in one of my (upcoming)fics/chapters, and that's what I was thinking right now. I'm just a hopeless girl. Reality bites. It really does. But I'm not sure that was even reality. I should just give up hope right now. Or else I'm going to really feel hurt. Those kind words, even though they were supposed to be nice, friendly and polite, make me feel sorry for myself and sad. Who was I kidding?He's just saying those words to be polite. He probably thinks I'm some weirdo now. I wish this hadn't even started. I wouldn't be a mess right now... and NO, I'm not blaming him. This is completely my fault. He's being so kind, and it's my fault for thinking that something was going to happen. It's my fault for persisting. It's my fault. My fault. My Fault.

I better get back to work. I'm like a robot. Working is the only thing that distracts me from my problems right now.

Little Posts

2006-05-12T20:03:00.000-04:00

Gah! Must. Do. HUGE. Project. Due. Monday!!!! For this week, I'll probably be making little posts like this one (gomen ne for not posting in a looong time), because I really have a lot of homework. So I'm going to shut up now and start getting down to business. Wish me luck!

Lovely AMV.

2006-04-28T22:58:00.000-04:00

Hehe, I just couldn't help myself, but I have a kawaii Tsubasa AMV here for you! I think the creator did an awesome job, thumbs up! Check it out for yourself.

American Idol

2006-04-28T21:52:00.000-04:00

I really like American Idol. I don't exactly love it, but I do have favourite contestants. I really hope that one of them wins.

One of the contestants from a long time ago, Sway, he was Filipino so my mom wanted him to win :D Hehe. Ah, well, we're not in America, so we can't exactly help our favourite contestants out.

Anyway, I was surprised but not the least bit sad that Kellie Pickler was voted out. Her song the last time (For the "Greatest Love Songs of All Time") wasn't exactly the greatest song to pick. I love the song, don't get me wrong, but it was rather monotone with that oldies movie feel. I had to agree with Simon 100% about her performance, it was bland, and I felt extremely bored. However, I was surprised that she got out because her fanbase was HUGE (they even have a site dedicated to her already!). I would expect they'd do everything they could to keep her in, but not everyone could afford to vote a lot ^^;

My favourite two contestants are Katharine McPhee (hehe like Nanny McPhee) and Chris Daughtry. They have really wonderful voices. I'm leaning towards Katharine more, but if Chris won that would be great, too. Katharine is also really pretty, and has great stage presence, and captivates her audience well. I always look forward to her performances. I just hope America will crown her American Idol :D Chris has that edgy, rock, oomph voice that I really like. I'm more of a rocker-punk listener (some pop, too), so his voice is like most of the bands' voices that I listen to, so I'm familiar with it. But if he sang country, I would be a little (okay, more than a little) miffed. I don't like country music at all. I actually dislike it more than Rap and Hip Hop. At least I won't be part to blame if he gets crowned American Idol and sings country songs since I can't vote, anyway. I'm in Canada here!

I can't wait to see Canada's Next Top Model. It's supposed to be really good, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm not really looking forward to Canadian Idol, but when it comes, I'll watch it. I kind of despise Ben Mulroney, though, so he acts like a deflector for the show -_- No offence! I also want to see who wins for The Amazing Race and America's Next Top Model. I'll talk about that in a different post, though! Maybe tomorrow. I'll place my bets then, 'kay?

Sentimental.

2006-04-27T20:22:00.000-04:00

Happy Birthday, Tonya! You always be one of my best friends. Another year wiser, hehe. Hey, we can't get any older, ne? I hope you enjoyed your last year of childhood, do you feel any different? Ack... anyway, email me. We'll find time to get together :D

Pure boredom. It's like I've become a zombie, doing homework and studying all the time. I hope it's paying off! I want my average to go higher :D Anyway, I'm happy how much more self-disciplined I've become.

I think I've come up with an idea for a fluffy Cardcaptor Sakura fanfiction drabble. I'll write it soon, but right now, as I said, I'm much more concentrated on my schoolwork. Wow, I can change so much :D

I'll post later. Right now, I'm going to check out some other stuff. I'll post the really good stuff later.

My Fanfictions/What's Going On With Me

2006-04-23T22:07:00.000-04:00

For all those who read this, maybe it's time I should post my fanfics here, eh? I haven't really completed any fanfics, so you'll probably have to hang in there for updates, but I'd love it if you'd read them :D They're all Cardcaptor Sakura, so for all you CCS fans reading this, you'll most likely enjoy reading them. Please email me regarding whether or not you'd like to read my fanfics on here. In case you want to "spare me the posting", you can go over the the links down there and check out my FF.net profile, where all my CCS fanfics are posted. Send me a review while you're there, eh? It'll be nice to know that someone who actually reads the blog reads my fics, too. Or if you don't want to review, send me a comment. Arigatou!

Oh yeah, regarding my Last.fm chart, I haven't tweaked the code yet, so you'll just have to bear with me and squint at the little chart, or check out my Last.fm profile (click the chart!), if you really really really want to see what I listen to. But the comments went well, I have to say. Please drop me a line!

I'll post some more later, alright? I'm still waiting for updates from my favourite blogger, so I know how it feels (not that anyone actually reads this...)! I have school tomorrow, so eh, I'll just have to grin and bear it. My concert's coming up on May 3rd, so some of you guys better come! I'm be with one with the chunky black shoes :D Eh, I better sign off and drag my lazy butt off to study and do homework... gah.

Funny!

2006-04-21T19:50:00.000-04:00

This is the FUNNIEST blond joke ever! It's so hilarious! Check it out: http://www.w-a-s-a-b-i.com/archives/2005/12/22/best-blond-joke-ever/ Special thanks to Little Wolf-sama for posting it in his blog :D

New Layout!

2006-04-21T18:21:00.000-04:00

New Layout! This is Version 2... Kira and Lacus. I love this couple <3. I'm a girl who likes different things and change quite frequently. But I'm not really sure how I feel about this layout... it's kind of hard to work with, unlike Version 1. I loved Version 1! Who knows, maybe I'll just revert back to Version 1...

Anyway, I don't like this layout for a number of reasons. But in comparison with the other layout, I'd have to say the most flaws are

1) I can't see my Last.fm weekly tracks chart. If I put it so you could read it clearly, it would cut into my blog and you would be unable to read an entry. But if I put it small you can't see the text! So that's a problem I'll try to fix up.

2) Notice I didn't put in the comments. I didn't put it in because it screwed the layout up. I'll try to work with it and clear everything out! It'll be nice to have everyone comment again. In the meantime, feel free to email me about whatever you were going to say if I had comments enabled. Arigatou gozaimasu!

This two factors will determine whether or not I can keep this layout up. If this layout fails, I'll revert back to Version 1 while searching for a new layout to take it's place. Nothing to cutesy or girl-ish, though. This layout is an overdose of pink! Big change from Version 1, eh? Hey, maybe I can make it through the whole rainbow! XD

And, as always, many thanks to Syrianwind for this layout and Version 1. Your layouts kick butt!

Happy Easter minna-san!

2006-04-16T15:34:00.000-04:00

Happy Easter, everyone!

Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I just didn't have the urge to write (*SHOCKER!*). It's not that I don't care about you guys! *huggles* Don't worry, I'm still here. I may block more often this week, that is if homework doesn't completely devour me.

Hooeee, I've been having a Tsubasa Chronicle marathon! I just love it! It's wonderful to watch it, you know, especially since I don't really like Bittorrent. I haven't saved the episodes on my hardrive or anything, I just get them off direct-link XD Anyway, I'm worried for the website since it's illegal to show the episodes now that FUNimation has licensed the series. I just can't get enough of Syaoran! *swoons*

Well, I hope you enjoy your Easter! Try to eat as much chocolate as you can without getting a stomachache! Hehe! It's a good time to celebrate Cherry Blossoms, too (they're blooming!)! Or maybe just sit and watch the fireworks.... *dazzle*...

Concert Contemplations and Writer's Block

2006-04-08T16:59:00.000-04:00

Music: Here With Me - Michelle Branch

A little stress has been pulled off my shoulders. I'm okay... for now. I wish I could be independent and free myself from all my worries, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm going to have to stay put for a couple of years. Ah, well. I'll find a way out. I just need that little light at the end of the tunnel.

I have writer's block. It's horrible! I'm filled with annoyance by it. I can't seem to get inspiration. I feel like writing a story based on something true that happened to me, but I'm afraid it may turn a little too personal and the person who I'm basing one of the chracters on will find out and be offended. I'm afraid a couple of internet people will suspect/find out who the person I have a crush on is, and I'm embarassed because it's so different and odd.

Hmm. Angels and Airwaves (Tom Delonge's new band) is having a concert here pretty soon. Their site hasn't said whether the tickets are sold out or not, and I'm still contemplating whether to get my hands on some tickets or not. My questions that are blocking me from jumping to the nearest ticket seller and reserving some are: Aren't I still sore from blink-182's breaking up? Am I ready to go see a band that I've only heard one song from? Will I have anyone to go with? Are the tickets expensive (hell ya!)?

I don't like going to concerts alone. I feel like I have no one to share the excitement with. Will I be excited to hear Angels and Airwaves after hearing only one song?

I'm probably not going to the concert. I'm not sure if my parents are going to allow me, and I don't think I'd like to hear a band when I don't even have their CD. Don't worry, I'll give Angels and Airwaves a chance. I just have to hear more of their songs :D

Depressed.

2006-04-02T14:57:00.000-04:00

Music: Crush - Jimmy Eat World & Fix You - Coldplay

I'm so sad. I'm depressed. If you don't want to read about my personal problems, you can go ahead and skip this.

I feel like a loser and a loner. I feel like I have no friends, no one I can talk to really. All my friends in real like have slipped away from me, and are distracted with their activities and new things in their lives. My internet friends, ha, like I have any. They probably don't think of me as a friend, anyway. I'm not really important to them, I think. Hey, I'm not blaming them, it's not them, it's me. My sisters are right. I am incredibly immature and annoying. Am I writing in this blog and befriending people on the internet to get away from the harsh reality around me? I'm seriously depressed. I feel like I wanna curl up and die. I'm reaching for things I can't have, and being pressured to do things I can't do or don't want to do.

I even like this guy, even though I know it's never going to happen. He'll probably be offended and think I'm some psycho stalker if I tell him I like him. He has a girlfriend, too, and I'm not about to cause conflict and earn the title of relationship ruiner. Who would like me, anyway?

More later. I can't really think right now.

My Bishie's B-Day :D

2006-04-01T16:31:00.000-05:00

Music: Gwen Stefani - Cool
Movie: Baby Boom (starring Diane Keaton) - 1987

Happy Birthday, Syaoran (TRC) and Sakura (CCS)! You shine in our anime-loving hearts, and you will continue to do so for the many years to come. Much love.

Syaoran-kun *sighs* the person we glomped, especially since you became older (from CCS) *wink* You're the hottest bishie ever, we love to kidnap you and stalk you... build shrines to you and swoon over you all day long! Your courageousness, determination, friendliness, loving, willing, and strong personality made us love you! Your gorgeousness as well is enough to make us faint! Continue to search and fight for Sakura's feathers.

Sakura-chan, the anime heroine who was beloved by all for 10 years now! You impressed and amused us with your card-capturing skills and kawaiiness! Your cunning instincts and friendly, sweet qualities dazzled us. You are, and always will be, the talk of anime cons and forums for the many years to come!

*disappears* I'll be back with another entry, hopefully, later in the day.

Minor Errors, Bugs, and Technical Problems.

2006-03-31T16:06:00.000-05:00

Sorry, guys, but you might notice a few crazy and sometimes not-working changes in my blog. Please bear with me while I clean out the bugs. I'm just saying to click the "Go back to Homepage" button before you click another archive for extra precaution. I know it's no fun, but do you really want to keep having to type in my blog address again? I didn't think so. Thanks for your cooperation!

About the Archives and Links

2006-03-31T15:44:00.000-05:00

This is an error in my blog: You cannot view another archive unless you hit the "Go back to Homepage" button. So, for example, this is what you have to do:

Click any of my Archives. After you're done viewing the archive, DO NOT CLICK ANOTHER ARCHIVE. CLICK A "GO BACK TO HOMEPAGE" button, THEN CLICK ANOTHER ARCHIVE!!! I am NOT repeating this again! If you have problems with this blog, it's your loss because you weren't paying attention to these instructions!

I do NOT want any complaints about the archive links and everything, because I have already made myself CLEAR! If you DO send me a complaint, you will earn an eyeroll and a quick delete. Don't waste your time writing me an email complaint!

High School Musical: Review

2006-03-28T21:58:00.000-05:00

Recently, I watched High School Musical, a movie teens have been raving about recently. People are especially willing to buy their Soundtrack! I open the TV, and BAM! I see "High School Musical Soundtrack" listed as 1#. Hey, since everyone seems to think that their music is good, then why don't I watch it?

Luckily enough, it showed up on TV a week later. Yes, people, it's a made-for-TV movie. Yes, I am reviewing a made-for-TV movie! So what? I haven't gotten a chance to hit the theaters lately.

This movie, I have to admit, was pretty darn entertaining. I thought I would roll my eyes at all the typical teenage "drama" and cliques and everything, but it left me interested and amused. The music was catchy and up-beat, I even downloaded a couple of the songs *guilt*. The plot is alright. I didn't expect any complex absolutely-mind-blowing type of thing. Nah, I didn't expect much from Disney for this movie. It's kind of typical, over-done, cliche, but not as bad as I've seen some movies try painstakingly hard to make it work.

It wasn't really supposed to be funny, it was supposed to be more of "awww", but I couldn't help but laugh at a couple of scenes. Some of the scenes were really corny, I almost choked on the popcorn that I was eating. Other times I felt really bored, and kind of "ho-hum" and sleepy. During the singing, I was really entertained. Some of these singers aren't half-bad, they're actually quite good. I loved how everyone was envolved in the singing, and the dancing! Well, of course, it's a musical, so could I expect any less?

Overall: If you like upbeat singing and dancing, I recommend this one. If you like typical high-school movies minus the drinking and junk, I also recommend this. And as a third recommendation, this should mainly be viewed by happy, energetic, enthusiastic people.

Total: 8/10 stars. What could I say? The singing and dancing blew me away.

Anything but Ordinary.

2006-03-20T18:13:00.000-05:00

So... today was my first day back. As usual, nothing unusual or exciting happened to stumble upon me. Only my wishful thinking.

School's a drag. It feels like it will take years to get out of this year! Exams, bleh, they're really annoying. Essays, projects, book reports, I am the enemy of them all. Cherry-chan the Procrastinator I am. For all of you who are new to this blog -cough- my friends who don't have a clue who the hell Cherry-chan is -cough- It's me, Kimberly. Yes, your fabulous, fearless, fantastic, procrastinating friend! F it all... haha! No pun intended.

Yes, I really am supposed to be doing my homework, but it's awfully boring. History and Art. Art is normally one of my fav subjects, but the subject we're studying in particular just doesn't appeal to me. We're supposed to be drawing buildings... yes, very interesting.

History is... icky. We're supposed to get notes and rough draft and everything ready this week, but I am NO WHERE near finishing that horrible stuff. That work is worth an awful lot of my History mark, and I can't do horrible on that, or there goes my honor roll. I'm already drowning in DT/FS. And... -drumroll- ENGLISH! yes, the one thing I absolutely adore and I, (not to brag) am very good at, is English. And I'm doing horribly! Well, not up to my usual standards, anyway! It's not that I don't like the subject, it's just that I don't like the teacher's teaching style and work assignments that are given to us. I don't agree with them! I feel like I haven't learned anything! And I really wanted to improve for the sake of my fics, too :S

My entertainment life...

Filipino bands are AWESOME! I guess you're wondering, "how the hell does she know about Filipino bands, she lives in Canada!" Well, it's no one you know, so why are you asking? Hehe. Sorry... it's just confidential. ANYWAY... My bands are: Sponge Cola, Hale, and Kamikazee. Hale is what I listen to most often, though. And did I mention these bands have absolutely ADORABLE guys? Sorry bout my bit of crushing, I call em when I see em :P.

Sasuke from Naruto is so... so... *sighs* HOT! SYAORAN IS THE ULTIMATE HOTTIE THOUGH! I was watching the second Inuyasha move and it was so awesome. It made me feel so happy... for some reason, I feel a connection with the voice actors (we're talking about English-dub, here!)... so odd :S

Anyway, my cousin who's only nine years old has an MSN. He is the first person ever in recorded history of my mind to have MSN at such a young age. He's the youngest person ever to my knowledge to have MSN! He's cool, though. He's very funny.

I should probably switch off now, as I am boring you with my craziness, insanity, and dull, little tasks. Boo! I should do my homework now... because I have to sleep early tomorrow for stupid Band on Wednesday... horribleness.

Horribleness.

2006-02-25T12:19:00.000-05:00

I'm horrible. I procrastinated a project worth 30% of my total mark to the extreme. I feel so guilty, and I hate myself. I'm not going to blame other things in my life because I know I should have taken responsibility and finished my project earlier *sob*. I know you guys don't really want to read about my school issues (that's all that I've been talking about) but it helps me feel better if I just let it out here. On another note...

After listening to my blink-182 Greatest Hits CD, I had the urge to do some researching as to why the group broke up (or as my cousin says, "finished"). I had a look on Wikipedia.org (man that website has info on everything) and read the article which said that many fans believed Mark (bassist/vocals) and Tom (lead guitar/vocals) had a fight or something. It also said that all three of the band members (Tom, Mark, Travis) wanted to focus on their side projects and other bands and stuff. That made me sad. I love blink-182. I also kind of felt mad because they had other bands they belonged to. I really don't think I'll listen to the bands the members belong to now. Maybe one day, but for now, I'll stay away. Erm... hmm. Maybe if I hear a song from one the bands, I'll like em. Time will tell.

Now it's time for me to go back to my project. I must work hard, I must!

This is as good as it's gonna get....

2006-02-25T12:14:00.000-05:00

Okay, okay, I know you can't really read my posts in this font, but hey, don't blame me, I didn't make this template. And pardon me, but I don't exactly know how to change the font (for the template)! (Yeah you back there stop laughing!)

Anyway.... I'm honestly very tired and very stressed out :( This week was horrible because I was sick, and I missed two days of classes. I'm very behind and it's rather embarassing. Plus I have a lot of huge assignments and projects due this month, and it's very hard to juggle all of them. Help!

I can't concentrate on my homework. It's a long weekend, so today was a day off, but I haven't gotten anything done. Except go on livejournal and look at some celebrity gossip stuff (oh, the wonder of guilty pleasures). Otherwise, I'm doomed!! Excuse me while I go wallow in my misery.

Plus, the dance was no good. Remind me never to go to another dance again. The DJ was no good, the music kept breaking up and freezing, and the songs were such crap! Plus the people were so immature. And I never got to dance with anyone :'( *sob* HA! Like I'm going to cry over that. I can have a perfectly good time without some guy fawning over me or me worrying about whether a guy is going to ask me to dance or whatever. Pssshh... silly crap. Except the dance was crappy because of the bad songs and bad sound quality! Silly drama my school is oh so capable of. I'm sick of it! I'm sick of people worrying about guys these days! I'm sick of worrying about school! Dammit. No wonder I was sick. Alll this stress and worrying must be taking a toll on my health. Excuse while I go gag at dumbness of my school and the people in it.

Hey, can you see the letters?

2006-02-22T21:14:00.000-05:00

Geez, I think something may be wrong with my template, because the colour is all screwed and I can't figure it out. It has nothing to do with the post. Argh the only way to read that post is to highlight it, sorry! I'll figure it out.

2006-02-05T15:45:00.000-05:00

Hey :)

I can never really keep updating blogs and remember them, but this blog kinda seems cool, so I hope I can keep it. You read the title, ne? That's what my blog is about. Lovely, eh? Don't really know what to talk about now... eh, I'll think of something sooner or later. Bye!
