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;;=
