Colorful Keys XD

So this will be quite an old entry *_* I did this a few days after we moved to our current home, so that was sometime during the end of April or the beginning of May. I’ve just been so busy, and then it took me forever to upload the photos, and then my computer got sick (and I miss it because it’s still in the computer hospital) and then for some reason i.ph doesn’t work with Safari, and many other things. Anyway, I’m here now *Elle tone* XD

I put stickers on my keyboard XD

Loving the Heat (^^,)

I was listening to some music while working and I realize that listening to Arabic music in this kind of weather is Almost funny XD I I love it, though, it’s like the music magnifies my enjoyment of the heat (^^,) 

I love the sun, the heat, the color of my walls in this heat, the brightness of my room in the afternoons - I love everything about my summer afternoons (^^,) 

Green Wall

My catmare buddies, with the Summerside green of my wall. 

Summerside

Last Sunday, my dad and I went to buy some paint for the new house, and I got mine in Summerside green (^^,)

Initially, I wanted it in Asparagus but the base color for it was not available. Oddly, though, at that time, I have never even seen my room yet XD Anyway I was able to see it yesterday for the first time (^^,) Cozy (^^,) Have yet to figure out where to place things and how to arrange them.   

My Green Cactus

Yesterday my dad and I went to choose and buy paint for some rooms in the new house. Initially, I wanted to have my room just plain white, but after some recommendations from my dad’s friend, I decided to pick green (^^,) 

I realize that my cactus will go well with it (^^,)

Atarashikute Pinku Diijikam (^^,)

My new digicam has arrived. I finally decided to get the pink one. I originally wanted the gold or the black one, but they ran out, and only the pink ones are left. I’m just charging the battery and will be getting a memory stick and then say bye bye to my blue digicam. (^^,)

Pink like Yachiru and Amu-chan’s hair (^^,)

Love in Lemon and Lime

I keep forgetting to write this. 

Right before I woke up this morning, there was a part of the dream that jumped out at me and was amazingly clear. 

In the dream, I logged in to Facebook. The interface was clear. Then, briefly, the screen was just all white, then a message with huge letters appeared: I LOVE YOU. In all caps, and in thick letters, each stroke in bright yellow or green. I leaned forward to look more closely at the letters, seeing that each yellow and green stroke has ornate designs. I was starting to wonder what the I Love You message was all about when I suddenly woke up. 

Shift

So, apart from being the Queen of Delaying Tactics, I am also becoming the Queen of Flakiness. 

To my (pleasant) surprise, he broke the ice that has been tormenting me as if it were Rukia-chan’s Zanpakutou. Okay, well not “tormenting,” I just remembered it was some of my selves doing that :p But, anyway, I’ve kind of built a fortress around me while muttering my regrets, recalling certain things, and listening to Why Can’t I. So…

Somehow, and I don’t know exactly in what manner, I have shifted from being agitated and achey to being mildly sedated and… well still achey, but I feel more grown up all of a sudden (especially since I just put up my new superlight Japanese corkboard by myself and I used a ribbon with silver lines to hang it) and oddly inspired (not in a SPARKLY manner, but I probably mean I am more eager to move forward) and somewhat glad and somewhat relieved. And yes, all those at the same time. 

By the way I am so full right now because I just had some cheese, and coffee, and then I ate my words for dessert (back in the list). I feel somewhat lighter though that I was able to explain why, even if it was just a fraction of the whole reason and I am not sure if anything I said made sense to him. Anyway I guess things are much clearer now, even if it’s never gonna be the same as before, ever, and somehow it’s nice to find happiness in these little moments, and to be able to give happiness too. Actually I think that’s the nice part of it, that I am able to GIVE it too. 

Hitler Dream

I was listening to Radio Iodine and when I heard “this Hitler list that runs my life.” I suddenly remembered the dream I had last night (or this morning, since I slept at 3 AM).

I was in a classroom and i was panicking. It was the first week of classes; I think I was in some law school. I then found out that my classmates did an advanced reading of the book the week before, so they had a good grasp of the first topic already. Then I got even more terrified when I realized that our teacher was HITLER. I was trying so hard not to be seen, and didn’t want to look him in the face. 

Oddly, the entire dream was in black and white, even though I normally dream in color. 

What do you think it means?

New Pens

So as I mentioned last Sunday, I went out to buy some stuff, and will post some photos of the pens I bought

I bought five.

 

I love milk

 

Laundry

 

I love their colors!

How about you? What did you do on the last Sunday of January?

Party Weekend

My last weekend before the first work week of the year starts is full of fun get togethers (^^,)

(By the way, I spent most of my weekend computer-less because I had problems with my video card and monitor. I actually experienced withdrawal symptoms and anxiety! So anyway I’m here now *elle tone* Wide awake!)

Saturday noon I met up with my friend Cecille and her sister Cynch, to have lunch at Som’s (love the green curry) then shop and have coffee in Rockwell. I wasn’t in shopping mode but I enjoyed the walk and being with them. I only bought some makeup stuff and saline for my eyes (which have not been away from their lenses since New Year’s Eve hehehe). We then had coffee in Figaro, went around a bit more, then left to go home around 5:30 PM. 

Back home, I was getting a little stressed out about the computer problem, so I decided to clean up the portion of my room where I work, and I dusted the corners and the back of the desks and the cables and everything. I didn’t want to turn the computer on and find it still problematic, so I decided to clean up the keyboard too (yes I took out each character and cleaned the whole thing up, except for the space bar and the enter key, because I did that with an old keyboard and was never able to put it back properly). Had dinner with my dad in the kitchen (I wasn’t hungry yet because of my anxiety but he cooked and called me over so I told him about my computer problem and ate a bit.) Then, as I continued to clean the keyboard, I suddenly felt agitated and wanted to go out, so, at the last minute, I decided to go to the mini reunion of my college psychmates. I finished preparing around midnight, at which time Peter and Emyr picked me up using Peter’s car. When we got to Rea’s, there were only 7 of us in total, the other four people being Lora, Anthere, John, and Rea. We went home around 3 am, but it was still fun and I was somewhat hyper because I was around real, living people whom I’ve known for a long time, plus everyone was in a nice mood and everyone was really pleasant, so I really liked it and was so glad that I went. Very briefly though, there was just a non-serious question which briefly made me wish I could disappear, though I don’t think they noticed I was totally uncomfortable for a very brief moment, except perhaps 1 or 2 of them, but I guess I managed quite well, though I still prefer that the non-serious question didn’t catch me off guard But anyway when I get the pics I’ll post them here because it was a nice night and I really enjoyed being around them

Today, Sunday, I wanted to just stay home but my computer problem was starting to tick me off, so in the afternoon I took a nap with NHK on as some old Japanese guy sang, then when I woke up, I made myself fresh strawberries with milk and ice, took it out in backyard, and enjoyed it with the book I’m reading now (I finished “The Amber Spyglass” - I liked “The Sublte Knife” most), “The Thief” who sometimes sounds like me. I didn’t want to think of what I was going to do later in the day, because I was really experiencing withdrawal symptoms from being computer-less. Just then, my mom came out and told me I should just join her and my dad to this dinner party to celebrate the 88th or 89th birthday of a grand-uncle, and celebrate his 61st wedding anniversary with his wife. It was the father’s side of my dad, and I feel somewhat more comfortable with our relatives there even if I barely know them and usually, gatherings with my dad’s father’s side are more… relaxed, elegant, and simple yet fun. I guess it’s also because the people are more interesting since they come from all over the globe (which also explains why a lot of us do not know each other) and they all look more fulfilled and happier with their lives. So, in the end, I decided to go, and wore a new purple dress with the black tights I bought from Japan (and it’s the first time I’m wearing them because I am more often in slippers or sneakers if my feet are not in seiza or on the bed). As I stepped out of the room, I found my mom wearing black pants and a purple lacy blouse, so she laughed and said we ARE mom and daughter. We went out to the garage and found my dad wearing black pants and nice black shoes and a purple collared shirt, so he was annoyed that we all looked like eggplants. (lmao)

So anyway we went to the dinner party (where 95% of the people are my parents’ age and the age of their parents) and I was just quiet and smiled at everyone who said hi to me because we are all related in one way or another even if we didn’t know each other. The food was great and there was LOTS of coffee and I felt comfortable in my clothes so it was all nice and fun. People who talked to my parents thought I was around 21 years old and some asked if I have already graduated from college and if I have started working already I told my mom that if I happened to bring a date who is around the same age as theirs then he would just blend in with everyone else and I would be assumed to be his daughter or something So anyway, there were slideshows shown of old (and I mean really old) photos, way back from my dad’s grandparents until more recent years, and I was totally amazed at how beautiful everyone seemed to be during the 20s to 40s, and how much more elegant families appeared in photos that time. A photo of my great grandmother was shown, and my mom told me that it was the same great grandmother who foretold that I was going to be a girl, years before I was born That time, my sister was a newly born, so I wasn’t going to be born in another 6 years, but that time my great grandmother told my dad that his next child will be another girl.

So towards the end of the dinner party, more pictures were taken, and I regret not having taken a photo of the my grand-uncle’s side of the family, where my parents are included, and it would have been great to share their photo here showing how HUGE the family is (hindi pa kasama lahat ng wala dito sa Pilipinas), though I managed to take a photo of my grand-uncle and my grand-aunt with my parents and their cousin. Will post it next time

After the dinner party (it was held in a hotel in Quezon City), we stepped out and realized it had rained while we were inside, and it all felt beautiful (^^,) The weather was so lovely and I felt so light and inspired by all the good and happy energies around me. (^^,) 

Back home, my dad helped me fix the computer and I can only guess how EAGER he is to use his fast-drying contact cleaner on my computer parts After a while, ta-dah, it’s okay now (^^,) Have to catch up on stuff!

By the way, I brought Puuru, Broody, and Husky to the party, and a mini-Christmas cake for them Took photos and I will post some here next time too

This weekend has been really nice and fun; I guess it was also good that I was kept away from my computer (^^,) And now it’s back to normal and I can work tomorrow and do normal stuff again. (^^,)

P.S. I loved the eye makeup I used tonight I blended very light beige, matte lavender (to go with my purple dress), and earthy brown which mixed well with the lavender shade. The photographer of the venue took my photo (as she did with everyone else) and I bought it because I liked my happy look even my face looked like a huge plate (camera was too close and my face looked too white in the flash). 

Blue Nails 2 (Hands) :D

With reference to the previous entry (I know, my hands are not beautiful :p Hehe.)

Blue Nails

Went to Lotus Spa earlier today with my sister to get a Healing Treatment for our hands (^^,) First there was the super nice peppermint scrub, then our nails were trimmed, filed, and cleaned, then soaked in lavender-scented paraffin (super great), then a 45-minute hand massage, then we had our nails painted. Hers is silvery blue and mine is BLUE There won’t be kendo today and for the next Saturday, so I guess now is the perfect time to super pamper our hands While my hands were being taken care of, I dozed off because it was so relaxing and my mind was also much calmer and quieter than it was for the past several days. 

Prior to our hand spa, we had hearty lunch at Yaku (^^,) Love love love Japanese food (^^,)

We went around a bit then had coffee at Segafredo before going home early. Now, I just woke up from a nice dreamless nap

だいすきです
