My crazy plan!

Yeah, totally crazy. Just watch your eyes so they won’t popped out of the place. XD

Copied from my post on MangaHelpers:

Hello, everyone.

I’m here because I need help with my newly formed scanlation project. I named it Raindrops Group, simply because I love rains. It had just been formed few days ago, so it’s still fresh new. Therefore, I need your help to be part of the team. So far, we’re currently planning to work on two projects: Ouke no Monshou or Daughter of the Nile (Hosokawa Chieko) and Gate 7 (CLAMP).

1. Ouke no Monshou

Information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouke_no_Monshou

Ouke no Monshou is a very old manga made by Hosokawa Chieko. It’s a story about a modern girl who somehow arrived in the past Egypt, where a pharaoh still ruled. It is a love story between the girl and the pharaoh, but it’s not the only one. Read the link above for more details.

12,000 hits!

Woot, woot!

At least my plan of trying to revive and rebuild this site works somehow well. XD We reached 12,000 hits today! Yesterday, actually, but I have only made the post about it now. XD

So as always, thank you very much to my dearest visitors and friends who still visited this place regularly and drop some comments on my posts. It feels so great to know that at least some people do watch what you write. I’m actually afraid that I won’t be able to continue posting a lot too long anymore since school works are getting on me, but I’ll do my best from time to time. I’ve been encouraged to keep writing by my friends, so yeah, I’ll try.

I hope you won’t bored with me. XD

Wishing you a great day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Wow, it’s so fast! It’s Valentine’s Day already. Happy Valentine’s Day 2011 to everyone!

What happened today? Simply nothing. As if today is no different from any other regular college days. I woke up in the morning, saying congratulations to my parents for their anniversary — yeah, they got married on February 14th, 1987, I think –, then preparing myself to go to campus. This morning I forgot that I had a laboratory activity, so I had to look for books and coloring tools ans ran like crazy on rainy mornings at campus. The laboratory activity went well; we finished earlier than planned. Then a discussion class, which was so boring, and last a lecture. At least it ended well.

Then, tonight, I found out that the rest of my scores are out. Well, I’m not expecting something awesome, but still, it hurts when you see the real scores there. ^^” It wasn’t that good, but yeah, it has passed, so what’s the  point of complaining? Gotta move forward.

I did receive chocolates… But from girls, no worries. XD

Such a sad Valentine’s Day for me. I hope it’s beautiful for you, though.

The worst teacher I ever had.

The worst teacher I ever had? It reminds me of a story from the first year of senior high school. *grins*

Describes the worst teacher you ever had.

So this lady tricked us all. At the first time I saw her, I thought she could be a great person, a great class advisor. Yes. she was my advisor on the first year of senior high school. She was a counselor at school. Perfect, huh? I got an amazing advisor on my first year of junior high though she was only a biology teacher. So getting a counselor should have meant something good, right?

But I was wrong. Completely, wrong.

I couldn’t remember the tiny details; or more like, I do not want to remember it. It was annoying. But I could remember few things. During an event at school, we quarreled. Some of my friends and I versus another friends. There were like two groups at our class and we were debating over a problem we had during that event. I remembered we quarreled for so long that we both were angry and started to cry. And I remember looking at my advisor’s angry, scary face. I was shocked. After that, homeroom classes did not feel as enjoyable as before.

We started to hear rumors about her. People said that she failed as a counselor. When she came to our class, she explained about a topic, and it was surprising to see how she simply talked about what some students had gone to her to consult about. She couldn’t keep secrets. I couldn’t remember if she mentioned the names or not, but at that time I thought that spilling out any personal, confidential information like that shouldn’t be allowed. Especially since she was a counselor! We were disappointed even more.

Last, what made me despise her even more, was that when she compared the skills of the students in her class to those of the class in front of us. So when I was on my first year of senior high school, there were two special classes which had students with better academic abilities. Those were my class and a class in front of us. She compared ourselves to them, saying that we were not good enough. The shocking point was that she said exactly the opposite thing to the students of that class in front of us, stating that they were not good enough compared to us. No, it was not in a joking atmosphere or in a tone or situation which indicated that she only tried to motivate us or something. No.

Added with her previous bad reputation, that made us sure of our final vote.

She no longer teaches at my senior high school. She got married with one of the teachers there, and as decided by the school before that no couple is allowed on the same school, she resigned. I don’t know where she is now. I do NOT want to know.

To forgive someone you hate the most is probably the hardest thing to do in the world.

No internet?

Another topic for Post-A-Week 2011 Challenge I received on my inbox few days ago.

Could you live without the internet for a week? For a month?

Even without internet for two days is not tolerable for me. ^^”

I would never thought that I would be this dependent to internet. I mean, when I was still on junior high school, I was obsessed with PlayStation games. I only used internet as a tool to search for guides and walkthroughs. XD But then, ever since I used internet to search for information and things like images and music during high school, I became more and more addicted to it. Obviously, I wouldn’t be able to stand living without internet, even a month! Well, I will survive, but life would be so boring. ^^” I met tons of people on the internet each day, keep in touch with my old friends or friends abroad or write here or do another interesting activities. It make me busy, but it also makes my day everyday.

I think I can be called an ‘internet-addicted’ officially from now on. XD

First day back at campus…

Yeah, first day at campus on a brand new semester. The second part of my first year as a university student, as a medical student. *sigh* I’m scared how time goes off so quickly.

New class today, about cells and genetics. We’re going to have this module for around 7 weeks starting from now. Almost two months, yeah. I hope I can enjoy this class. Well, the topic is not so bad for me. I just haven’t seen the real materials we’re going to talk on this module. Today we only had lectures from morning till afternoon. Not to say that they were somehow boring because practically they only covered things we had already known from high school. I suppose that they served as a way to revive our memories of what we had studied before… But obviously, that wouldn’t work very well considering that we had just returned from holidays and our mindset might not be changed yet. XD I was also sad to see that one teacher was teaching for two hours straight and I bet only people who sat in front who listened to him. The room was so noisy and, well.. it wasn’t a classroom, it wasn’t a lecture.

Tomorrow we are going to have another set of lectures. We are divided into groups and my groups don’t have a chance to go for a practice on laboratory tomorrow, so we can arrive late. At least I can get up not as early as this morning. But tomorrow I also have a choir practice at school from afternoon till evening… Gonna be very tired.

I’m also planning to continue learning languages. So far, I have learned three foreign languages which stopped in the middle (I don’t count English, of course. XD), which are Chinese, Japanese, and German. The most probable one to continue is German, but I’m still thinking where to take the course. I want to continue Japanese as well… But we’ll see.

So many plans, so little time. *sigh*

“Show me how you Burlesque!”

The latest movie I watched last night with my cousin, a box of sweet pop-corn, and a cup of cold milo. Plus a cozy chair and a very cold air conditioner, nothing seemed better than enjoying a great film, eh?

“Burlesque” is a film about a night club with the same name. A girl named Ali, starred by Christina Aguilera, was seeking a job as a singer and dancer in that night club. She saw how the dancers did their job and was amazed by them. So she started to bug Tess, the owner of the club starred by Cher, to get her into the team. Thus begun her journey to be a singer and dancer there, with all the problems involved inside, from romance with someone who had already had a fiance until how to save the club from being destroyed.

Though when I visited Burlesque’s information page on Wikipedia I saw quite many not-so-good reviews, I think this movie is pretty good. I love the soundtracks; from half part until the end, the songs are totally awesome. The dances were just so-so, I mean, hey, it’s a night club; what do you expect? ^^” I was also troubled by the actor of Jack… until I read the actor’s name on Wikipedia. Cam Gigandet. Bingo, that was why I felt like I know his face! James in short hair is kinda hot, you know. LOL~ Anyway, Cher and Christina Aguilera’s voices are not to doubt, so I think I can’t complain much about the music part.

I downloaded the album soundtrack after watching the film and fell in love with some songs right away. They are Cher’s Welcome to Burlesque, Express, You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me, Bound to You, and Show Me How You Burlesque (composed by the dear Jack, ohoho~). On the second place are The Beautiful People, Guy What Makes His Time, and Tough Lover. Basically I really love Cher and Christina Aguilera’s voice there. Especially You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me has a strong feeling in it, even more when you watched the movie and saw her singing.

It’s a great refreshing to me. I tend to watch action or adventure or fiction stories, so  movie like this is actually a good one to watch once in a while.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Gong Xi Fa Chai!

Welcome to the year of rabbit! I matched it well, you know, my phone’s keychain is a rabbit. :3 It looks so cute and adorable, with pink crystal on the middle! …Okay, I’m going off-topic here.

Anyway, to be honest, every year I don’t feel there’s any difference celebrating the Chinese New Year. It’s just a form of family gathering with more foods. I don’t feel certain intimate, like in Lunar New Year, the one we celebrate usually. Not even red pockets (ang bao) this year! So practically, it’s kinda boring. Last night I stayed up until midnight just doing my works, editing and listening to music. It really doesn’t have any meaning.

I think it’s because ever since I was little, this event was never celebrated any different from other ordinary days. Years before I would still go to school, doing my home works as usual. Maybe I would only have a free day today, but tomorrow school would start just like how it has always been.

Well, no matter how bad my new year is, I wish you guys have a wonderful Chinese New Year if you celebrate it.
