Finally I saw The Legend Reborn movie today on my granny's teevee. It was fun. Except these little boxes kept popping up from the side of the screen with little facts and tidbits. Most weren't very useful, but some were nice to know.
But I have been inspired for ART by this 8D I just need to get done with my internship that I start next week, which goes through the entire month. If the art works out, I'll bring a copy with me to show off at Brickfair.
I'm going home today as well~
I also
So yesterday I was waiting at the train station to hop on the railroad and head to granny's house, and I'm waiting with her bags while she buys tickets. Suddenly, a businessman dashes past me at an incredible speed and almost runs me over, ignoring me all the while.
Seriously, I wanted to get a Pokeball and capture him and then chuck him away.
But after that I bought a smoothie so everything was cool.
So now I'm at my grandmother's, and she really enjoys stuffing me with food. You have
I'm enjoying my sleep, and I'm having this strange dream about a gun. There's just some floating hand with a gun in an empty space, and it pulls the trigger.
I wake up as the trigger sound is heard, but I also hear something similar to it in real life. And then, right past my window, a firework is ascending into the sky.
Turns out some kids decided to go out at like one in the morning and set off fireworks on the road right in front of my apartment building (I'm on the second floor). And I
So this morning, my dad and I went for a run and then did yoga. Pretty good wake-up call, especially in the heat. >__>
Now then! When we got home, we decided to make something yummy. We just finished making these dumpling-like things, only they're full of cherries. The result was excellent.
The result.
If you want a recipe of sorts (it won't be very professional, though), feel free to PM me or IM me.
...The Blog Staff's word, that is. Comment approval ahoy!
Now then! If you're really bored while waiting for someone to approve your comment in their blog, check out of the art I uploaded today. They're all from my art class at school - which was a watercolor class for this semester. I will update the art content block when I'm less lazy. =P
My friend colored in freakish rainbow (900x874 px)
Remember this entry? Here's the painting I was talking about (593x718)
Fuzzy, fuzzy hat (496x554)
I drew the guy I have a mini-obsession on. Fai D. Flourite from Tsubasa. (Colored pencil on printing paper)
It's a bit tilted cuz that's how the sketch came out in my sketchbook, and then I traced it onto paper and forgot to turn it slightly. Oh well.
Tsubasa may be confusing towards the end (srsly), but Fai is still awesome.
Oh and happy birthday, Spink. You're awesome as well. <3
Now that I've calmed down a bit from the weekend and studying for exams, let me tell you what I did Saturday night.
I was at my friend's place for her birthday and a sleepover with a few people, and her parents got us tickets to show called Fuerza Bruta. It's not a show you sit down and watch - you're standing, looking all around you, walking around, and dancing. It's just amazing.
The first part mainly had to do with a business man of sorts on a conveyor belt. He would walk normally, push
Today was a day off from school, so I took advantage of it to shop for a gift for my friend, whose birthday is this Saturday. Yesterday and today, I drew a card with Roy Mustang (FMA) on it.
Then today, I went to an anime-dedicated store downtown. When I got there, I was the only customer, but the store was full of so many beautiful figurines and kits and merchandise that I didn't care. Despite the loneliness, the guy at the register was easy to talk to, and we discussed FMA a little bit. He
At least, those stand things you open and pull the newspaper out of are.
This morning, I was trying to get the free morning paper to read on the train ride to school. The thing I mentioned above was made of metal here, and I was also carrying a heavy textbook that I had to return today. I open the thing, but because of my textbook it kind of slips and injures me right under the nail of my middle finger and on the joint just beneath it.
Luckily, I had a bandaid with me and covered it up, bu
How many people here will freak out at my profile picture? Or at least think it's weird?
So far I have one person. =D
If you know who it is too, you're awesome.
Today was Japan Day, and I attended to huge festival. So many people... Dx Can't forget the cosplayers, too.
First of all, the food was impossible to reach. They gave away free tea, and that had no line to it, so I got tea 8D But the food (which was free too) was harder: lines extended far, and I managed to hop onto the shortest line: for dumplings. And oh my goodness, those dumplings were good.
The line for sushi was the longest. Sorta figured that would be so. ._.
Anywho, other stuff. P
Yesterday was the ceremony that announced the winners of the children's book scholarship content I entered with my friend (too lazy to dig up the entry on it). We didn't win, but one entry from my school won second place.
The winning entry was a cute story, but the art wasn't very good. Still cute. I own the book, signed by the authors, cuz they gave them away free at the ceremony.
The New York Stock Exchange, where this took place, is the fanciest place in the world inside. Seriously. And,
As usual, I'm not writing long reviews of the movie. But it was pretty cool. The beginning had me in, then towards the middle it got slightly confusing, and near the end there was so much gunfire I was like "aaaah enough of this!". And I could not make out any of the Russian in the movie, so it's either that the actors have terrible dialects or I'm just terrible at picking the stuff out.
But it was still nice.
So today I chilling at the riverside park, and it was rather fun, but I won't bore you with details. I found a broken fishing pole that I used for various adventures in the park, though.
On the way home, however, I'm passing by an apartment building when half a loaf of bread falls from above and onto my head. I look up, no one's visible. I'm just like "Whoa. Bread."
Earlier today, the metal legend Ronnie James Dio passed away.
He was one of the guys that got me into metal not too long ago, and I loved what few songs of his I had back then. To this day he is still awesome, and always will be. <3 I dressed up as him once, old readers of this blog might recall.
Rest in peace, Ronnie.
I now present the lyrics (as close as I can get them) to one of my favorite songs of his, and one of the first ones I heard from him. : Holy Diver.

Today at school, the Foreign Language department held the annual International Food Fair. Being a freshman, twas my first time there, and it's pretty cool. Students bring in food from various nations, the main focus being on foods from the countries that the school teaches languages of - Japan, Italy, France, and Spain (or anything Spanish in general). They were open during lunch periods, and the last two periods of the day, the French and Italian classes 'cleaned' up the leftovers by eating the
So did you know that with four chords you can play many of everyone's favorite pop songs on the keyboard? =O
The Axis of Awesome did so at some show (look up the video), and I was like "whoa." The four chords, credit to Dudebot here, are E Major, B Major, C# Minor, and A Major. Of course, I don't understand much about music in such a manner, but it's still pretty awesome.
Speaking of music, I've been getting into Vocaloid lately. I want to make fanart for some of the songs, like Len and Ri
I went to that used bookstore again, and checked out what they had. I got two volumes of Gon (volumes 2 and 6) and a volume of something I don't know. I don't know it because it's in Japanese, so I can't read the title. If anyone knows Japanese and would like to read the title for me, just ask and I can scan in the cover.
Aaanyways I feel artistically mehh. I have a project in art where I have to illustrate a thing from a combination of sentence starters and nouns from the chalkboard. I chose
Today I went to the Sakura Matsuri at a botanical garden in my area. Sadly, the cherry blossoms were not in bloom - in fact they had withered, in a way. But that didn't spoil the fun. =D
At the main stage where the not-in-bloom trees were, when I arrived at the beginning, there was a rehearsal of a martial arts dance going on. The drums were very loud, and the person with the flute played next to a microphone, so the sound was sometime deafening. Some pics - 1 2 3
Elsewhere in the botanical
Today after school was fun. I went with some friends to the Apple Store near my school, but it was closed until 5:00 PM for a little tidying up. The reason was because there was a long line outside the store of people waiting to buy the iPad. But the staff outside said that if you're not buying an iPad, you'll be let into the store at 5 anyways.
So we chill until 5, which wasn't for less than an hour. We got there just as it opened. Funny thing is, for like the first twenty people on that lin
My Italian teacher got into an accident and broke his leg, now he's not coming in for at most two weeks. Apparently, now my class is going to have a substitute (who is very awesome) who will mostly give us assignments from the textbook that my Italian teacher told him to assign. While it's cool, I miss my Italian teacher.
Got my report card, and I have three 99's. Kinda scary.
And starting today until around May 12, I can sign up for next year's classes. Math class with probably be Algebr
I feel like Sisen with these crazy dreams. (=P)
But yeah, two nights ago I had an interesting dream. It was set in the real world, and everything looked like it does here, but the people were changed. There were three main groups of people: Zombie people, people totally under a trance, and people whose personalities have been flipped.
The zombie people just moped around, although one guy who looked like a farmer chased me and tried to kill me. I lost him the first time, and the second time
