Oh, almost forgot. Anita Mui [the actor, not my mother who has almost the same name] died of Overian [?] Cancer yesterday around midnight. It's the thrid celebrity that died this yr [close enough], and one of the LAST cantonese-speaking stars that can actually SING. First there was Roman, then that bishie [that was homosexual, but that doesn't really matter], now Anita. She got first place in the First annual singing contest-thingie in HK. So she can actually sing, unlike the newer celebrities in HK: can't sing, can't act, and not even very pretty.

This is a reply to a friend on email that I wish to post. Dated 20031214 12.33 :

sorta busy at the moment, so i'll just ans your Q regarding the YnM thing. I did some research on Matsushita Youko [the mangaka/artist] and found out that YnM has been suspended for over a year now. Apprently Matsushita-sensei got obesessed over video games, even made fan webbies of them, but because she used her real name, she was flooded w/ Qs like 'how's the series [meaning YnM] doing', so she closed them down. She did expressed in her webbies that she doesn't want to be a mangaka anymore, so there might be a chance that YnM will end w/o an ending and vol 12 will never come out.

btw, i don't know her webbies [wish i did], i got these info by searching 'matsushita youko' on google.

it's really sad and i was sad to hear this news. i honesty hope that she would continue YnM. She's amazing because YnM is her first series [i heard she did 2 other short stories, but i have not read them], and it got into a two-digit volume. that is amazing because usually artists, when they first draw as pros, they start w/ two/three volume stories. this shows her skills and potential to become sucessful. it's dissapointing to hear that she lost interest.

Uhh...last week of winter break =oO;;= and i haven't accomplished much. At all. amari nai. And the cat right now is sleeping on my left arm. He's getting heavy =oO;;= Silly kitty, I love him. Did I mention that we went to see Monarch butterflies on Sunday the 28th and I took pictures of them using a monocular?

I currently have all the Hikaru no Go anime [all 75!!], and am trying to burn them onto CDs. I've already messed up 3. I don't know what happened, but after burning the CD would have reduced total memory with no contents. =~"~;;= Last night and today so far I've been organizing my hard drives. renaming them and putting them in the right places, etc.

I got presents for 5 or so people. I wish I can get more allowance. I need it. OH by the way, it seems like I'm getting through to my mother to buy me a PS2.

AHHHH I still need to make a new layout!! and still trying to find what is wrong with Blogger & Prohosting. Maybe I'll try using Greymatter instead.

I'm getting fat and my drawing skills are not getting better. Which reminds me, the Third Rising Stars of Manga [RSOM] begins accepting entries on January 1, 2k4! Must start storyboarding, Kit-chan! And there's always the homework...

I really like the lyrics of Hikaru no Go openings & endings. +sniff+

Went to see monarch butterflies. They're so pretty. My Digital Camara doesn't zoom enough so we 'attached' a mono-cular in front of the lense. It sounds stupid but it works well. Must go load the pics in now. I'll upload them later.

Again, I abandoned my blog for almost a month, and since I'm on winter vacation now, I'll try to fix everything and get back on blogging. Who am I talking to anyways? =oO;=

Went to a Graphics Novel sneak preview yesterday in the San Mateo City Library; it was fun. Made a ton of suggestions, LoL. Uh, got a new computer during thanksgiving weekend, so I've also been sorting out my files and such. I can watch .avi formats now!! Nonetheless, I lost my addressbook in outlook express, and outlook express have been behaving strangely lately [i.e. stuff inside local folders dissappearing, bulk mail dissappearing when I try to move them to the local box, etc], so maybe I should stop using outlook express.

Ah. on Tuesday we had a field trip to the cartoon art museum in San Francisco. We were wave 2: eat, museum, city cruising. Ate in the Metreon [I played DDR instead; found a free pad inside a store]; this sandwich place inside the foodcourt is GREAT, except they use way too much oil. The museum had a Political Cartoon event-thing, and I found a My Neighbor Totoro cel +heart+. Too bad we didn't have enough time for a full-route city crusing lead by the 3D-art teacher...lanburg? I'd've loved to walk around a bit more.

Only got 2.5 hours of sleep. Why did I have so much homework/project/tests on the last day ANYWAYS?!

gotta work on blog now.

Whoa. Haven't posted in, like, forever. And the previous statement I haven't been updating mainly because of the blogger-FTP problems. Then there is the homework [lie]. Some of the highlights in the previous 2/3 weeks include a friend almost walking into the boy's locker room in Self-Guilded and...my kitty just jumped onto my sofa bed and started cleaning itself. Okay, that's not it, but today is a good day.

Today! [notice the date and time] The power went out in school. Not only it's late start, the power went out. tw00t. How fun, an extended thanksgiving holiday! [That makes it a 5-day weekend!!] hehee. Now I'll spent my holiday trying to figure out what is wrong w/ my blog itself. By the way, my old address, http://kakeru.blogspot.com, has been taken over by some unknown Chinese person. I'm guessing that person's a girl. My kitty just fell asleep. So now really have to learn how to move my blog to my prohosting site correctly.

Alright. It's uploaded and stuff, but WHY WOULDN'T BLOGGER ACCEPT THE CODES AND JUST APPEAR ON THE THING ALREADY?! maybe I just need to publish it...here we go...


quote/music later =D

whoo. the new layout is 'done' and just needed to be uploaded. Now only the step to figure out what that blotchy thing on the right of the blog is and to upload using FTP. Ok, so maybe that's two steps, but it doesn't matter, it's probably not going to be touched until Saturday afternoon when I'm done with the PSAT stuff anyways.

The kitten, in 5 days, learned to drink from a dish, learned to eat solid food, learned to play with toilet paper, learned to play with imaginary target, learned to play with us, learned to jump up to our living room couch, learned to jump down to our living room couch, claimed our living room couch, discovered that the place between our neck and collar bone is the best place to take a two-hour nap, and to run/hop around the house quickly like a rabbit [a cabbit, it is!]. I think that's quite a lot, don't you?

AHH! I forgot to put a TagBoard in my blog! AHH! must go do that now....

I knew this would happen. Stopping in the middle of a project of some sorts and I'll never start on it again. I didn't work on the layout all day. First went to half-moon bay to buy a 20lb king salmon, then got a phone, then went to the library.

An ugly spider just dropped down from the ceiling on to a piece of paper about 20cm from my arm with a sharp plop. Traumatized.

Everything extra needs money. Darn it. Including those bloody format-converting programs. GDI. Anyone, by this point, can pretty much tell that either I am really mad, I need sleep, or I need money. The answer is the last two.

OK. Tomorrow I plan to finish my blog, do my homework, and post the bloody 'self-intro' for the SRI thing. I will add a wishlist to my blog, not that anyone would buy me those things, but that's my way of telling people that I need money. The two newest things would be a USB cable for my cell, and some cash so I can buy that bloody converting program.

Whew! Finally done with the coding! But I still have to put the contents in, upload, perhaps make it a blogger blog, etc etc. The layout is actually a relatively simple one...but it too one so long because it's the first time I've used DIV tags, along with some new stuff, and this is only my 2nd layout that I sucessfully coded and will be put online. Yup, lacking exprience. [conisidering i can't even remember the link tags...it's sad] I'm tired, gotta wake up early to buy fish tomorrow, and I really wanna sleep. My abs & one of the chest muscles are sore from weight training yesterday...my arms will probably be sore tomrrow...=oO;;=

Whew, finally round 1 of USAMTS is finished! Though I finally didn't answer one of the questions...can't blame me, considering I only had 2 weeks instead of 4. Yesterday was no-work for the whole day. Mailed the answers, then it's web and manga and games. FUN. No, i didn't work on the layout at all finish the layout, but I did get myself hooked on some fan-made RPG games. The searching-and-downloading of the programs needed to play the games took me half a day alone, considering many sites that had the downloads were shutted down. Next were the problematic installation...yes, that's the reason I slept @ 2am.

I got the games from Cursed Moons, a doujin and original site with webmistresses who draws & colors beautifully and...support shounen-ai. XD Yami no Romance was easy, because 3 of the 5 endings had guides written on their site, and one of the remainding endings was just plain obvious [the Muraki one!]. BUT I CAN'T GET TO THE HIJIRI ENDING!!

Then Wan Wan 1-ko is...extremely difficult. But you're hearing this from a games-defficient girl, so maybe it's not that hard. Maybe it's the problematic controls. Last, Love Impact, is the one that I'm tempted to play right now but I should do homework instead. It's really precise and I haven't been able to get to any endings except 'GAME OVER'...There's a guide for one of the endings, but it's not complete to the end, and even though it allows you to save, it's really time consuming. It's so cute though. Hail Akane's & Inma's drawing skills! [BTW, they're trilingual in Spanish, Japanese, and English]

I forgot if I have English homework or not. oh well.

OOOH, I'm beginning to like L'arc en Ciel music =)

Well, it's Friday, so I though that I should talk about my case also, though it has ended for a few days now. 2nd week into school this guy in my physics class [I KNOW I KNOW I SHOULD'VE BEEN IN AP BIO! STOP RUBBING IT IN!] told me he liked me through IM. At first I'm ok w/ it, but sooon it started getting out of hand. He started calling me every single night 'for physics and Japanese homework'. Even tried calling at 12am. Outrageous. i didn't know him until this year, and he said he started liking me during the 2nd day of school, AND i didn't give him my number. BRRRRR. so on Tuesday , when he IMed me, asking 'what's the matter with you these days' [i've been cold toward him], i said, in third person, 'dude, stop bothering her'. it was meant to be to scare him with my split-personality-ness, but he took it all the same. end of story. the first week he asked me to go to the movies, and i made the mistake of saying 'yes'. then the next two or three weeks he asked too, but i said no.

the problem really is that i don't like his personality. There's just something annoying about how he tried to show his good face to me and how he wouldn't make the decisions and how small his voice sound in the phone. i never liked phones anyways.

yeah, so now you know. actually there's something in here that i haven't even told my friends...not even to whom i asked advice to [thank you, even though i acted before you wrote the mail, LoL].

and that's why i didn't thought it was 'cute' and 'exciting' when Arte got the note. my past case left an annoying impression. But Arte's a lot much more nice than me so maybe Lars won't end up like that guy. But sometimes Arte's too nice. hehe.

i just finished Princess in Love by Meg Cabot. it's so cute. the interesting thing is that i can actually relate to her a bit. haha, the bit of the 'Secret Snowflake Revelation' was funny.

OKAY. here's the part that i got permission from a friend of mine to 'publish', since my friend says i can put it on my public blog as long as her name is not mentioned. so...let's call my friend...Artemis...or Arte. [just because i am/was/going to read Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer...he has such a cool name...]

It seems very unreal and unbelievable, like something people'd see in a shoujo manga, or movies, or teen romance novels [picked that up from Tina from The Princess Diaries]. After Archery, when we were finishing up on carrying the stuff back to the store room, the ta poked me and handed me a folded note, taped with clear tape with 'For Arte' neatly written neatly on the small, thick piece of paper in all caps. for a background note, the ta wasn't there until 2 days ago and none of us know who he is. not me, not Arte. i was returning the bow, quiver, arrows, and our score board, and when i was about to leave, he poked me. didn't even say a thing. i looked at it and said, 'oh. okay.' Arte was carrying the target up w/ another friend then. I carried the big, straw-stuffed thing up the rest of the way and i gave her the note. she opened, then gasp and started and...well...suprised. the note said:
Arte�
Meet me at center court
at lunch if you're interested
[I'm interested]

�ars
By the way, i changed the ta's name too...Lars from Princess Diaries...should've used Michael, LoL. Nonetheless, the twins were very excited. me? i was suprised, certainly, but was also telling Arte that it's ok, that he'd know her name by how the twins screamed 'Go Arte' every time she shoots, on target or not. Arte was trying to convince herself that whoever Lars is mistook her for me [ha! as if!]. Although we weren't sure if the ta's name is Lars, we're pretty sure. our freshmen P.E. teacher helped us ask for our teacher's ta's name and found out it IS him.

well, i wasn't 'happy, because i sort of felt for her. especially later when i see Lars following Arte everywhere. it was scary like a stalker, in a way. b't 5th period and 6th period i went to find Arte because she left her spanish book in the japanese room, and there he is, following Arte. she knows, but it's freaky to see, since he already followed her from where we eat lunch to japanese class..[gasp. to go club, but the meeting's ending XD] After school Arte told me she got another note from him of his phone number and AIM screen name.

i'm not sure if he's a junior or senior, but pretty sure he's not a sophmore and definately not a freshmen. It'd be funny, in a way [gasp, like Holden in Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger], if he's a senior. that'd be the 2nd case in 1 month. first would be me. i'll say something about that later. i'd wonder if the seniors are getting desprate for a prom date. LoL.

thanks to Arte for letting me post this on my blog!

Waaaai! Yes, another entry about robotics. That's pretty much all that has been exciting other than endless homework. I still have hw, consider i only got home @ 6:30 and am eating. The teachers are all heartless...sorta. Anyways, very interesting robotics today. We first checked 'homework'�0 questions regarding chemistry, physic, history, technology, etc. It's hard...I only got 9/50 right without cheating and 38/50 cheating. bwaaa. Then we did the safety test...there were trick questions =T T;;;= Then lecture, then the design and build project [yay]!

we had to make something that would transport a ping-pong ball to a cup in the center of a 6ft diameter circle. We can't go in the circle[any part of out bodies either], cannot touch the ppball directly, all members [3 people] have to physically participate at all times, and can only use a certain amount of tape[5cm], paper clip[1], string[20cm?], paper[A4], and 4 rubber bands. No scissors. We have to design and build within 35minutes, and gets 2 rounds at trying. Whoever that fails gets a smiley face sticker that says 'I failed today'. I want that sticker...i mean, our group did fail once...

Most people just punctured 3 holes on the cup, got strings through it, and dropped the cup and ppb in the bigger cup. we tried using paper to build a 'bridge' to the cup and slide the ppb in the cup, but failed once. [NOTE: WE HAD A STRING ATTACHED TO THE PPB JUST IN CASE IT FALLS!!] then we tried again, it fell out, but Liz caught it by the string and saved it. we finally had to use the 'bridge' as a stick to guilde the string which the ball is attached to into the cup. we got lots of applause =) i still want the sticker.

FUN FUN FUN.

Lately I've been paying more attention to the debate whether fansubs are illegal. A few weeks ago there were posts in ANN showing evidence that Fansubs, though claimed to be OK if weren't licensed in North America, are completely illegal. However, today, according to Lelola.net, Anime Nation, and the link to the debate, shows both sides of the argument, and it is very interesting. Which side will you take?

personally, I agree with the fansubber's point of view, especially the fact that most companies do not make a quality dub/sub, and assuming the reason is because they are not fans themselves, only working for the money. Therefore, if they don't make a quality sub/dub that that are better than the fan-made ones, then why spent money on something that is worse than something you can get for free?
Also, one side note: the fansubbers/fandubbers do not make money, they do all the work [timing, subbing, translating, etc], because they want to, and they are pretty professional, if not better. Like manga scanlation, they put up good, accurate translations, while making side notes to readers if the translation is not as accurate as it can be.

Ah, just so everyone knows, Fanime Con uses fansubs =)

[D E F I N I T I O N S]

Anime: Japanese Animation
Manga: Japanese for 'Comics', widely used between western fans referring to japanese-styled comics.
Subs: short for subtitles.
Dubs: the translation from one language to another, re-doing the voices in the show.
Fansubs: Fan-made[ususally non-profit and volunteer work] subtitles; distribution method is share, not sell.
Fandubs: rare, but basically fans dubbing a show =)
Scanlation: the scanning and translating of a manga to another language onto the computer by fans, distributing online among fans.

um...more scattered random ideas.
† discovery of being puppets instead of having 'will' [seeing wires connected to ppl's arms, legs, etc]
† that fate is in control, but one thinks they are. like chess pieces in a chessboard. sacrifices are needed in order to accomplish a goal, a goal that the chess pieces are oblivious to.

oh, btw, i'm sorry if some of your comp does not support japanese display. please see translation below. [mainly because i'm bored from studying for Chem & Health & Jap => >;;=]

‡ The day before and friday was FANIME.CON. Me & Kitsune-Chan went to FANIME.CON. The day before, [I] spent $160 in one and a half hours. 'Used a lot of money', heh.(laugh) [I] bought CLAMP's Works, Yami no Matsuei in Japanese, etc. Therefore, [I] did not only buy mangas. FANIME.CON is cool. [I] will also go next year!! ‡

oh how primitive my japanese are! LoL. Ah, i should've also used {demo,..} (But,...), oh well. that only means i have to write more. oh. forgot to mention. on Friday i saw a very good Vash, from now on would be known as Vash #1. Tall, long spiky hair, perfect red coat, boots, everything. All except the coat color and the fact that he has braces. But that can't be helped, can it? (laugh) There was also another Vash, from now on would be known as Vash #2, present @ the Fanime Con. he is about 5'8" [not a good Vash height], coat color too dull, hair not long enough,and has a suitcase [VASH DOES NOT CARRY A SUITCASE AROUND]. But he was present on both Fri and Sat, and has Millie & Wolfwood w/ him, so he gets some points back from that. =D [BTW, a lot of people were Wolfwood]

It's OK if you didn't understand what that last paragraph is about...since i don't think the population watches Trigun and passed/in Jap 3-4 =^^;;=.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!! I WILL CHANGE THE LAYOUT SOON!! JUST WAITING FOR FATEBACK TO GIVE ME MY ACCOUNT!! THEY HAVEN'T IN AGES! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM?! >(

ugh. i'll figure out something´need to improve/learn CG skills, scanner quality, and my drawings => >;;=

well.. -that- took me forever. (see above). yes, i've been saying it in english too much, so i thought i'd give it a shot in Japanese. LoL. Anyways, got 5 needles poked into me arms today; on the left are the TB skin test & Hep A shots, and on the right are blood test, Td [i think they are the ones that prevent -spasms- in muscles if you got cut and that kind of disease got in. something like that. anyone know?], and Rubella [more commonly known as German Measles]. so. got holes all over my arms. => >;;= and i think it gave me this headache too. ugh. i feel like fainting.

yay! got a VREY vague idea for our manga! something about thinking you're in control but actually controlled, like chessboard & chess pieces. <--vague, isn't it? so we still need a strory plot/line. hopefully i can get that out by mid-july.

more later. perhaps. i still have to read Unit A for chem, do the evauation for lab 4, read the health chapters, and write about my day in japanese. probably all by tomorrow, weds, thurs, and friday respectively. JOY.

� In the Moonlight : Gravitation OVA �

Fwee�d'l-ed Chobits Artbook, .hack booklet thingy from newtype, finished Yami no Matsuei ep 9 on kazaa [FINALLY], a few new AMV of Gravitation [the Somewhere out there one made me cry], and some new chap/vol of manga. i'm so easily satisfied. Now i want to see the whole gravition anime & OVA, the whole YnM anime, OWN all YnM manga [still continuing tho], own all D.N.Angel, own all X/1999[maaaybe?], read all Gravitation, see all Trigun, and....i still want Animatrix. haven't gone to costco yet so haven't bought it.

from ANN, fansubs are actually illeagal, but so are many other stuff, y'know. +shrugs+ who knows, i might get arrested one day for doing all these illeagal activities. ME WANT GRAVITATION AND YAMI NO MATSUEI! [yesh, they both are BL/shounen-ai]

+looks around+whispers+ i should've never read Gravitation Remix ch1 =oO;= now one is tainted. [this is what hardcore yaoi does to fangirl XD] +a dialogue flashes through her memory+ =OO;= i better go...really.

yet i'm not.

so which am i? =oO;= hahaha. i'm so weeeird.

Been too bored, methinks. Taking too many online quizzes such as ones from Emode.com and Quizilla.com. i'll put some results in here:

What Flavor Are You?Mmm ... mocha! Strong and rich �but not too sweet �you're the flavor of late nights and early mornings. A coffeehouse regular, you've cornered the market on deep thoughts and probably have a little more than your fair share of brains. In fact, those who know you may even consider you an intellectual, a label that suits you just fine. Deep and thoughtful, you love the academic life �or at least the structured pursuit of nowledge. And, since hitting the books often means all-nighters, what better flavor than mocha to keep you company? Chocolaty and intense, you're a truly tasty treat.

perhaps later i will make images to go along with it or whatever. for now though, that's all you get XD

tried gel-ing my hair today. never thought gel was so sticky and annoying and hard to use. anyways, it made my hair messed and weird =~ ~;= hehe. i should really start doing something CONSTRUCTIVE. all i've really been doing is drawing/reading manga/online/listening to songs/eat. i really should.

[current album/song on play: Earth Girl Arujuna OST; Be My Angel - Angelic Layer]

alright. so i lied about posting again the next day. i wasn't too interested to talk about that anyways. who would care?

scary thing ahead!!

Something semi-interesting event came up: a bright orange koffbirthcontrolkoff showed up near Kit & Kat's locker, [heeey, i never realized that Kitsune and Katherine makes KitKat!! anyways...], and bobo purposely showed me & Kat the bright orange thing[b'c we went to their locker after they discovered it]. well...the problem is that kat mistaken it as a deflated balloon.
Reactions:
bobo: +rofl+
Kitsu: ...
me: +suprised+
Kat: +doesn't get bobo's reactions+
me: +tells kat it's a good thing she does know, she doesn't need to know, and to ignore bobo+
...
it doesn't quite end here. when we were at the parking lot [waiting for ride], bobo brings out 'the issue out again' and starts explaining the function of it, trying to into details. glad we stopped him long enough for dad to come...[wait, he was still talking about it even after getting in the car. but then i told him not to =^^;=]so, CONCLUSION: If Kat ever have -tainted- thoughts, it's all Bobo's fault!


on an unrelated issue, it started today; that means i gotta run in the hot sun instead of swimming in PE...+mooou+
[mou is an equivelant to +whine+]

i am a clumsy, clumsy taro.

am i a little -addicted- to this? anyways, i just thought that this would be my first actual entry on the blog. it's about yesterday. i went ice skating-- it's a 6-week course, sort of funded by the community thing, so it's $50 include entry and skate rentals....anyways. yesterday was my 4th lesson. the main point is, while attempting backward swivels @ about 8:40pm [practice time], i fell on my bottom. hard. i sort of twisted to my left side, so now my left bottom hurts. i hope i didn't crack/damage the end of my spine.

another thing. that morning i scraped my hand against the side of the pool when testing for backstroke. it stings. so now my right hand is the only limb not injured. great. i'm a clumsy, clumsy taro, and that's why i get hurt easily while doing sports.

tomorrow [in 3hrs] i'm going to 'gather abalone'. more muscle-stressing work. [wow i've been excercising a lot this week!] more on that tomorrow. need to take shower, wash swimsuit [or at least dry it], and sleep.


nemasu / neru

i'm such an indecisive girl....this is my xth time comming back to edit my 1st post, but i decided against it =9 anyways, mainly just to say that i'll prob'ly change the layout once i figure out where everything is, since this layout is so...commerical. well...that'd have to come after staring and looking at other blogs =^^;=

...tesing...1...2...3..
ok, i'm throughly lost. hopefully i can delete this post later when i figure out everything. +cackles+

RINKU DESU [to manganews.net]

wow. subconsciously i went for a blog. i wasn't even tempted by all the 'xangas' floating arounf AIM profiles, LoL [which reminds me of our 'sub-profile' phrase]. yeah, perhaps a blog to ramble on is fitting since i always talk to myself anyways. hmm...maybe i should actually work on a website during summer. whee. learn the codings and tables and flash [=oO;= seems so complicated] and php and stuff. yeah. hmmm. i should start my scanlating job for DGT Tranz. i'm supposed to be a freelance translator...but...things happen and i've never read their their current 'regular project'...

nyoo--?! i rambled again.
