Phew.. Finally done moving my sites to my new domain^^; I haven't put up a 'moving page' yet. Too lazy ~_~ I've been working on my kenken shrine, and actually add some contents ^^; For people who're linking to me, could you kindly change your urls?^^;; I know I've moved tons of times already, and I apologize for that m(_)m The new urls are on the profile on the left. Thankee~
My friend called me the other day to tell me about the manga that I wanted to exchange at kinokuniya. If you're curious, read May 2nd entry^^ Anyway, she told me that it was actually too late for exchange because it's passed 2 weeks since I purchased the manga. But then she told the clerk that I couldn't come sooner coz I'm living 2 hours away, and he actually recognizes me and he knows my name O_O;; So yeah, she got to exchange the manga. I guess being a loyal customer pays off XD
Rei>>You don't like YouxKen? XD It never entered my mind before, but after reading tons of fanfics, and looking through Japanese fansite, I think they look cute together^^; It's kinda surprising though, coz most Japanese fansites support YouxKen or YouxAya.. I haven't seen any AyaxKen so far...

I dunno what is possessing me nowadays... I've been doing some really stupid things recently ><; What now, you ask? Well, I'm actually crazy enough to purchase a domain! Plus, I paid for some webspace too. Now I'm kinda regretting it. I mean, I don't have any heavy traffic websites, what do I need a domain for?! But I've paid for it, and I thought I'd put it to some use. I'm planning to host the indonesian artist union thingy website. I'm not gonna design it though. I suck at web design ><; Hopefully pam will have time to do the design and I'll just maintain the site. Yeah, that'd be good^^
I'm also planning to re-open my puny kenken shrine^^; I like it too much to keep it shut down. Besides, I still like kenken >:D~ Speaking of weiß, I just ordered the ova vol 1-2 ^o^ Can't wait for it to get here! And where the heck are my saint seiya vcds?? T_T I hope they won't play dirty and cheat my money, coz I'm gonna sue their @ss! *_* Pardon my language...^^;

Weiß fukkatsu!! At least that's what I read on a Japanese bbs^^; It's something about Koyasu saying that he wants to continue weiß on his official website. I hope he'll make it come true ^_^ I can never have too much kenken XD~

It's 5.30am and I'm still up ~_~; I really gotta stop this habit... So, what have I been doing? Haven't been drawing, that's for sure^^; Sometimes I even wonder why I'm still keeping an art site @_@;;
Anyway, I got another anime nostalgia attack. Yes, I'm still up surfing for... weiß kreuz sites, particularly ken shrines and yaoi fanfic sites. Yes, you heard me, I like yaoi. It's been getting into me lately. I've liked shounen-ai and yaoi for quite a while, but never to the point where I actually look for the stuff. Maybe as I grow older, my mind's also getting dirtier? XD Or maybe because 90% of weiß fanfics are yaoi... O_o; In any case, I think youjixken coupling is adorable^^;;; Btw, I wonder why some people can still mispell 'kreuz' as 'kruez' #_#;; And I can't believe some people actually use the term 'byce' or weiB or even weib... ><;;; And they call themselves 'fans'.. hmm..
While surfing, I also found a variety of yaoi sites. Gundam wing is undoubtedly the most popular target for yaoi *_*; Then comes kuramaxhiei, weiß, CLAMP stuff, samurai troopers, digimon, even dragonball and sailormoon @_@;; Basically, if there're bishounen/biseinen in the series, they're bound to be victims of perverted minds of yaoi writers/artists XD Especially when the guys don't have official female pairing/girlfriend, or fanfic writers can just kill the girls XP
As for original shounen-ai stories, I really like fake. Ryo is so cute^^ I've only seen the anime, and I like it a lot. It's funny^^ Kusatta kyoushi no houteishiki is funny too. Maybe I'll get the manga after I establish a stable life^^;; I'm still debating whether to go home or stay in the US ~_~;; I've also seen bronze, zetsuai, and ai no kusabi. While the art is pretty, the story is full of angst, not really my kind of story. I still drool over the guys though <-hentai!
Lastly, if you're interested, you can check these links to some yaoi related sites I've found. Just don't flame the people there if you don't like it, okay? Be considerate and have an open mind ^_^ Good day!

I'm the biggest idiot in the whole world! O_O;; Okay, today.. erm.. yesterday, I was supposed to send the hanakimi vol 4 to my friend in portland/beaverton so she can bring it to kino for exchange. So I went with my friends to the school's post office. I bought an envelope and all ready to put the manga in the envelope when I reached my bag only to find that the manga wasn't in it ><;;; I forgot to bring the manga itself! #_#;
I'm gonna have to go again later today... You must think that this is just a small mistake, no big deal. Sure everybody makes mistakes, but I've made too many dumb mistakes that I can't help myself but wonder how the heck I've survived until now and in the future. Let's just say that the manga is an important project that need to be presented that day. I come to my boss' office without it saying 'I forgot'. I'd be an even more pathetic unemployed person. Oh, that reminds me... I sent some cover letters to some companies, and they had the wrong date!! #_#;; Talk about making dumb mistakes...

Just got back from my friend's place in portland^^ Watched quite a lot of anime @_@; And finally got my tapes back XD Kenshin eps 1-21 is missing though... Hmm.. Lesse, I watched Wild Arms TV, Tenshikinryoku, Himikoden, and some others. I also got hana yori dango vol 8-10^^ I like it. Tsukushi is an interesting character. But I wonder why she always calls rui with his full name.. @_@ "Hanazawa Rui!" "I think I'm falling for Hanazawa Rui again"
Nagasugirun janai no ka? #_# Oh yah, I like rui better than domyouji XP
I also went to kinokuniya. Bought Kazehikaru vol 8 and hanakimi vol 4.... and realized on the highway that I already have vol 4 ><;;;; I'm gonna have to send it back and get an exchange. Mendoukusai~ I hate living so far away from the store ~_~;
rei>> Is it just me or does Rabi look like Toraoh? I've never seen either granzort nor wataru, but I've seen some pictures in animedia... And about european fanfics, I tried to use those translator thingie, but they can't translate long files ><; They only translate the first few paragraph and left the rest untranslated ~_~;;;

My dog got a summer haircut, and some vaccination. He's all quiet and feverish now ;_; I hope he's gonna be okay. I'm gonna take him to my friend's place in portland. Finally I can get my kenshin tapes back XD She's also a fansub distro, so I'm gonna have an anime feast while staying there >D
I got my first rejection letter from an employer T_T; It says "while we're impressed with your experience and background, we have concluded that other candidates are more closely matched with our job description" or something like that ><; Yeah, right, I know my resume sucks, I don't have relevant work experience or background XP Nyah, I'll have to write a thank you letter anyway...

Agh!! Somebody shoot me now! ><;; I just ordered the full set of Saint Seiya TV series VCD!! O_O;; I don't know what has gotten into me, but I think I'm in St Seiya obsession all over again!! >_<;;;;; And this has just started a few days ago. I can't believe I'm actually wasting money when I don't even have a job yet ><; Well, I just got my last paycheck yesterday, so that kinda covers it ^^;
The VCDs aren't even english subbed.. they're chinese subbed ;_; Better than cantonese dubbed though, coz I don't understand any cantonese (the irony...). Nobody in the US bothered to sub st seiya yet besides the movies (which I already have XD). Maybe because it's an old series... I think it first aired in 1986^^; And It aired in Indonesia in 1988, which didn't get finished ¬_¬ It's so weird that I have this sudden craving for st seiya stuff. D/Led a lot of doujinshi and some movie clips too^^;
I understand rei's feeling now. She's obsessed with Wataru, another old anime series^^; I'm pretty much in her position now, except that I'm obsessed with a different series^^; Ugh.. now I wish I can understand French... because a lot of st seiya fanfics are in french or other european language, coz it's VERY famous in europe O_O;
Okay, I think I babbled enough about st seiya.... gonna be drawing st seiya characters from now on XP Especially Shun~ Minus his horrid costume, of course^^; My bro still thinks he's a girl... that's even worse than me O_o;;

I've been wasting my life away by sleeping all day and surfing the net all night^^;; During all those surfing time, I notice a trend in the web designs. I surf mostly anime/game related sites, and I notice they have really beautiful, eye-catching designs that're pleasing the eye but really hard to navigate. I don't hate nice designs, but it's annoying when I actually have to squint my eyes to look for the scroll bar O_o;; Anyway, here's some web-designing stuff that I hate:
- font color vs background color. If you have dark blue for background, do not use blue for font color! It's annoying to have to block the text to read it.
- overly small text. Do not use font smaller than -1.
- small text area. This is what most sites use. 80% for image/imagemap and 20% for a long long text. Scrolling is not that much of muscle work, but it's annoying and scrolling too much hurts my eyes @_@;
- pop-up browser. The original browser is perfectly fine and easier to navigate because it has all the tool bar functions (back, forward, reload, etc, easier than right-click). Why put the new page on pop-up? *_*;
- hidden menu. I had to scan the page for clickable links with my mouse's pointer... some sites have their links so well hidden that I just stopped surfing.
I think that's it for now. Please note that I'm not trying to put these kind of web designers down. I think they're cool, and I'd kill to have their web-designing skill... just look at mine, it sucks, I have very limited web authoring knowledge. I just wish webmasters/mistresses made their sites more viewer friendly^^ Btw, I also note that a lot of webmasters/mistresses are really good with image-editing programs O_o; Hmm.. I have a lot to learn...
Off to another topic. Link of the day: Boadicea's Saint Seiya Homepage
Saint Seiya was one of my favorite anime ^^ Too bad I never saw the original, I've only seen Indonesian dubs of the TV series. And I thought Shun was a girl for the longest time! O_o;; I used to think Kurama was a girl too (his seiyuu was a girl (Ogata Megumi) ¬_¬ and I've only played the super famicom game at that time). In the original anime, Shun was voiced by a guy, but in the indo version he was voiced by a woman. That's why I kept thinking he was a girl throughout the TV series ~_~; And for some strange reason, the anime had a shower scene of Shun but they only showed his face and down to his collar. They never showed his chest, another reason why I thought he was a girl XD Ah well, he still remains my favorite saint, despite his horrid pink bronze cloth ~_~;;;;;;
Come to think of it.. I used to think Kenshin was a girl too O_o;;; And Lady Oscar was a guy.... #_#;;;;;;;;

I am so p*ssed!! O_O;; Btw, if you're easily offended by racial issues, then by all means DO NOT read any further!! I'm just venting my anger here^^;; Anyway, me and my bro and another friend were just going to costo with my bro's car. It's a modified honda prelude. And when he's trying to park, there were this couple of old people in a truck on the opposite lane. My bro's car was already in front of the parking space before the truck was there. Then the old guy started to blabber something we couldn't understand coz our windows were closed, and we couldn't hear anything. All of us thought he was trying to say that the car behind us was trying to get out of his parking space, and we needed to move a little bit forward. So we did. Then suddenly he took OUR parking space!!! O_O;; I couldn't stop cursing after that. I guess when that old fart tried to tell us something, it's more likely to be racist remarks toward us. It might not be, but I know there are white people who hate Asians. Especially Asians who drive nice cars. Heh.. I'm not fond of people who like to show off their cars either, including my bro ¬_¬; But I don't single out a race/society just because of that. I may be wrong, and that old guy might not be a racist like I thought. But he was just downright RUDE! How can an old person expect to be respected if he doesn't respect young people??
This was not the first time this happens to us though... Last time, it was an old lady who took our parking space ¬_¬; Geez.. what is wrong with these old people?? Ugh.. sorry about this pointless rant... I hope I won't be getting flames because of this ^^;;;

I kept my promise of updating!^^; I even forced myself to produce at least one CG in order to make this update.. yeah, it's that Aerith CG with cheesy background ¬_¬ I'm glad Minmei colored my mermaid picture or this update'd be totally worthless XP
Btw, I accidentally erased my counter's script from my index page O_o;; Didn't even realized that until I checked my index page for broken links. I'd be shocked if 2 weeks later I found out that nobody's coming to the site XD Hmm.. maybe not ¬_¬

Freespeech is finally back up. Dunno what's wrong, but I'm glad it's back. I'm beginning to dislike freespeech, it's really slow sometimes, but it's the only decent free host without those evil pop-ups ><; And I doubt I'll be getting paid webhost coz my page is a very low traffic page anyway. It's a waste of time and money :P
Haven't been doing anything lately.. My mom's keep pressuring me to get a job or come back home O_o;; Ugh.. The more she pressures me the more reluctant I am.. simple psychology but she doesn't seem to understand it. Uhh.. sorry.. a little depressed with the whole job hunting thing^^;
I'm gonna update soon.. uh.. yeah.. ¬_¬

I finally finished BoF4!! Mwehehehe!! XD The ending's not too good though. I wish Capcom'd extend the ending and show what happens to each of the characters.. I think they're being very lazy. They left the staff role in japanese and didn't even bother to romanize them O_O; Sure some people tend to ignore the production staff, but I always wait and look thorough the entire ending, including the staff role ><; Especially when I really like some aspects of the game and I wanted to know the person who's responsible for making them. Like the ending song.. I didn't even catch the name of the singer ><;
I think I'm gonna play wild arms 2 next. Been wanting to play this game for quite a while now^^ But stupid sony just had to scratch the opening theme song in the english version... T_T; I love the song, I even bought the ost just for the song... my $40.... T_T;
