Student Worries: Am I Cut Out For This?

This movie always reminds me of summer ;_;. Artist: meron

Here we go... Again? It happens every year and we anticipate it, countdown; ripping out the pages of our past, present, only to see the futu... Stop me before I start sounding too stupid :c. But in the end when we get there we're stuck, "How did I deal with this before?" "Am I supposed to say goodbye to the seniors?" As the years past the end of the school year seems to be of more significance to my than the last, maybe because I know highschool's gonna end before I REALIZE IT (OMG) and I'll be left looking back thinking "those were the good days" (FUCK NO). Speaking normally, school ended yesterday and it felt weird.. I guess like usual. Like we go there complaining but still attending like we're obliged to for 10 months of the year and suddenly we don't have to attend..? But although school's ended nothing seems to have slowed down for me and I'll be just as busy for this week and I guess the rest of the month. 
I actually just wanted to post so I didn't have to for the rest of this month. I don't think it makes a difference if I just didn't post this month though ;_;.
Here's a photo of the locker I used this year.

I like to collect all the newspapers that I completed the crossword/sudoku of. I threw the keyboard away after this.

I have dragon boat regattas this weekend so maybe I'll post pics or something. WEEEEE CANNNNNN DO THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Until then I will be marathoning anime yeahhhh studying for provincials.

Deadlines Contain the Word "Dead" For a Reason

Hi it's still January. Artist: Salad heads

Hi everyone..~! I'm doing that weird thing where I post often now :>. I felt like putting this up here because.. I do these things and it's FUNNY. Actually the real funny thing is that I was busy doing my homeworkstuffs until late yesterday when I read our newspaper club's facebook page saying "Where are the articles?" Good thing it was there to help me remember to start :). The theme is Chinese New Year even though that was *cough* a bunch'a days ago. This one is about the story of the zodiac animals. Basically this Chinese *God*(-dude) tells 12 animals to swim across the river as a race.
Also the reason why there is no cat in the zodiac is because it betrayed the rat when they both USED the ox to travel across and fell in the river, THUS DROWNING. Damn history is cruel ;_;. The dragon makes it 5th and the *God* asks why, since he can fly-- DAMN ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WHEN YOU CAN FLY, NO EXCUSES FOR YOU, DRAGON. But he says that instead he was busy bringing rain to the people in a village nearby. This is my depiction of what happened :). Enjoy.

(Click for original size yeah.)

I thought this one was a lot funnier than the last (even older) even though it was extremely detailed and took my a DAMN LONG TIME DAMN THOSE BACKGROUNDS WHY DID I TRY?! Yeah, 4 hour comic was success. I think it's funny, I just hope the article about the history of Chinese New Years is published so my comic makes sense and doesn't look like some stupid idea I drew on a whim (but it's true).

I have a feeling this week will be very busy.. And probably the next, I guess that's why I must post nowwwwwwwwBYE.

Conflicts, War Tactics, and Losing

Does it feel like 2012 yet? Artist: Aoi

Writing this post makes me feel like I've forfeited my match. I guess if I were in a protagonist in a story, the conflict right now would be "CHRISTA VS SCHOOL". I guess? In a way, this will be my conclusion to December's POST MADNESS (OMG 4 POSTS IN ONE MONTH!? INCONCEIVABLE!!). This is that phase where you know that it's the end, but you don't want to admit so. Like when you know you're going to lose your argument but don't want to admit it. Admitting you're wrong is an important part of life though, DON'T FORGET THAT. In the end, I will go back to my everyday school life and the "school" tag will show up again. Agh, not that one again :c.
At the end of everything, it is our duty to kind of look back and say that we did a bad job. In my case, I should be reflecting on the fact that all I did was pick up lots of anime shows and read viking manga........... Oh no, looks like I've reached my word limit of today! :) BYE.

HURRY UP, SPRING!!!!!!! WE NEED MORE RIDER. Artist: Nicole

CYU.. IN THE FAR FUTURE.

Goodbye 2011, 2012 Here We Come!

How fitting.. An alpaca new years :)

*DEEP INHALE* 
Oh 2011, where do I begin? You were a year of joy and fun, but also tragedy and loss, however, your time has ended, and for the future we will place our new hopes and dreams into 2012.

/JK THE WORLD IS ENDING LOL.

No, no, never mind that. In the past years, I have been doing something more traditional where I talk about the year's world events and MY WORLD EVENTS (because I'm the most important being in the world), but you know how my care and love for this blog is deteriorating like an old man's brain so there will be less thoughtfulness harhar.

>>>ANYWAYS,

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

2012 HERE WE GOOOOO~~

Because I'm boring and lame I'll put some pictures here of worldly events that I especially remember. (Click for article)

Music and movies come out too fast for me to remember...

Here now, I will reflect on myself: What did I do this year exactly? Hm... It's all blurry now that I think about it. In the midst of stupid things I spent a large fraction of my year doing ex. sleeping in class, trying to play DS in class, being a horrible person, etc.etc. there are a bunch of things that strike me more clearly.

No full size :(

Aww, looking at this collage makes me feel kind of sentimental now. Lots of good ol' quality posts in the year, 'specially in the summer with all that random writing. (LIE) Anyways, now that I think about it, I don't have a lot of pictures of the interesting outings and things that happened in my year.. But the world's not going to END.. right? :) I'm sure the future will hold even more interesting and fun experiences for me.. AND YOU! :D

Now the most important part of the year review... Here are my 2011 resolutions:

- Work hard in school 

- MAKE MONEY THROUGH TUTORING!

- Get better at bass & sax

-BE A GOOD BLOGGER.

MY LORD, SO MANY GOALS. I kinda feel like I didn't succeed at any of them. Hee.. The thing about year resolutions is that they must be easy enough to accomplish in a year, but at least ambitious enough to seem.. worthy? Hm.. I guess my goal this year is to.. Get a job. Yeah, work part-time and be boring. Sometimes I feel it's a bit unwise to waste my youth on stuff like that, but something during summer would be nice. I get the whole year to pick a better goal anyways :). Happy 2012 ..y'all.

*Ahem*

I'll try my best to be a good blogger this year, so

HAPPY NEW YEARS & CYU

Christmas Leftovers

I wish it snowed like that here :( It's been raining all day. Artist: Cola

MERRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY CHRISTAMAS!

(with a hat on top~!)

Here's to an extremely delayed post. Actually 2 days isn't the latest I've ever been... Really, this super early based on my regular standards. But holidays have their own charm and stats and TIME LIMIT. CURSE THESE LIMITS! Since this is n't.. entirely? Dedicated to the fact that it's Christmas COMPLETELY DEDICATED TO CHRISTMAS, but late and therefore irrelevant :c, I don't feel like doing a Christmas intro, bg, whatever that shit is I did last year. Also to mention that Daphne's blog has a lot of bits of my Christmas holiday I didn't have pictorial evidence to prove.. (wtfamisayinglol).

*COUGH*STRETCH* That put aside, I will try my best to explain my Christmas.

Actually Christmas didn't really happen.. Basically I was taking a long bath from school and all that technical stuff when Christmas suddenly jumped in and tried to DROWN ME. DROWN ME IN DAMN GLITTER, GOLD, AND CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. But I said "NO!, YOU SHAN'T DO SO!" And I came back to the present century with satanism. LOLOL NO, I'M JOKING. Sometimes I'm not sure what I'm trying to do ok? Yeah, but for the most part that's how I um.. felt. Winter holidays already feel fine as some time to roll around and laze about.
This year, Christmas was sorta like any other holiday day. Everyone sits at home in their pajamas watching tv and eating. I did a Lord of the Rings marathon with my sister too.

Something like this??? :cc I tried my best.

Now I shall go into a frenzy of picture posting because I have no more intelligible comments so ok, yeah, here:

I said I would make more cookies and little did I know, in my pathetic holiday-sudden-deathly-influenza, my sister would tell me to bake cookies for her to give away to friends :c. Taking advantage of sick children... Well I had lots of time so it doesn't matter lol :>.

I made my sister um.. USEFUL last minute gifts. Can you tell that it's a pug? :) I'm not sure what the puffball is but it's cute and useful so it's a good present.

Same thing right? Christmas is always full of delayed presents and it doesn't really matter because it's the thought that counts yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~~~~~~~~~~~ Yeah, something like that.

I got this day planner from my mom along with some recycled paper pens/highlighters that you can just imagine in your head. I made a bookmark-thing for my planner and wrote important things in it.. haha.. CATS&ALPACAS<34EVER

Mini-present(?) from my brother, where does he find this stuff?!? I'm not sure what it does, but it's cute and that's what matters. The box says "Am I a dog?" PROBABLY NOT.

This concludes most of my Christmas day. It was fun and although a lot of Christmas from my friends came earlier in the month, it seemed like a nice tie-up for everything yeah. Thanks, everyone :).

MOVING ON>>>>>>>>>>> Learning from last years blunders, I DID NOT GO TO METROTOWN ON BOXING DAY. Hell that place is crazily busy on regular days, add in some fake sale that isn't even that great and the people swarm like ants in a puddle of ice cream.

I had a better idea this year: GET THEM TO SHOP FOR YOU!

My brother left the house at 6AM to do crazy shopping so I got him to buy me strings *O*

Only regular slinky :C. After 3 painstaking hours of trying to put on new strings, here they are, looking exactly the same as before from this picture but with a special sheen. CAN'T YOU SEE THEM SPARKLE?! *Q* SO PRETTY!

Yeah I don't have much to say next. No sparkly webcam-tastical picture of me this year I don't want to show my face because I'm a criminal on the loose. HARDCORE.

Have a nice rest of week, but I'll probably post for New Years and morrrrrrrrre..?

Even melty snow would be fine ._. Artist: Yatsude

CYU!
AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Reunions, Untold Feelings, and Holiday Spirit- Director's Cut

I ASK AGAIN, WHERE THE SNOW AT? :( Artist: Fo~do

There's a limit to putting off anything. And maybe somewhere deep inside my frozen solid heart, I know that I should blog, and that I have all these pictures lying about ready to be used for better purposes. Today is one of those days when I get this feeling.
Actually I've wanted to write this since I got off school which was just last week, but I'm a lazy asshole like always and I never feel like doing this stuff because it takes too much effort I'm a lazy asshole.
You know when you meet up with someone you haven't talked to in so long, and both of you want to say so much that nothing comes right so you end up hugging and saying jumbles of word-mess? THAT'S ME 'N MY BLOG RIGHT THERE.
Here we are, face-to-face, kind of nervous, shy, not knowing what will come-- ok fuck this shit I'm going to get to the point now.
I just realized that I have nothing but pictures of cookies.................................................. Ok, let's say, <TIME TRAVEL> on the day I got off school, the morning was nice, the pancakes were blue and  the skies were fluffy. WAIT A MINUTE.. Actually the skies were rainy and the pancakes tasted like IDON'TEVENKNOW. Normally one could say it was unique: harder on the outside and cooked, while the insides flow out and give a nice balance of textures. I don't even know, man, those pancakes were WHACK.

Picture via hidden source. I was too busy wondering why they added blue food colouring to take pictures of the.. smurf pancakes???

Then all was well, we performed ok when we were up there. Looked back on video and got sad. Some things are left to be seen from one perspective, well yes, well no, well.... I'm not sure :c. We talked to our old band friend and took some weird photos but the picture is not in my possession so I'll draw it with my best abilities:

Good enough, right? Even better :) Speaking of friendship and ALPACAS! I got this HEEHEE

This is why handmade gifts are amazing.(thank you daphne) Lots of little things here on, I saw lots of cookies, too many cookies in my time..

Unicorn cookie.

Mysterious white stuff cookies.

More mysterious white stuff cookies.

Remind me to take more pictures of interesting cookies I find this season. But the holiday rush is almost over anyways :c.

Made weird crafts. Cat: MY BODY IS READY <3. The cat just wants your loving :).

Here's me bragging that I got cards and gifts(sortofs) today. I got a gift certificate that I used within the 2 hours I got it and a card saying that I will be punched in the face.. I don't even know.

~THE HOLY GRAIL OF CARDS~

Legit the best thing I have seen in a while. 100 POINTS TO.. GRI..FFI... What?! In the picture I'm herding alpacas during the alpacalypse. WARN YOUR FRIENDS EVERYONE, KIM JONG IL DIED AND THAT'S THE FIRST SIGN. 

In the end, I have too many pictures that I can't connect the right dots and everything has been a jumbled mess. This is what reuniting with an old friend feels like ;_;. Idk because I'll never have friends though :c. I'll probably blog again with some pictures of cookies or something silly or Christmas gifts so I can brag and brag and brag and brag....................................................... Orsomething.

I saved this for last because I'm not sure where it goes.
 My brother's friend gave it to me and it was MIGHTY TASTY.

GOOD NIGHT, AND TO ALL..

A HAPPY BLOG TRIP!

Epiphanies, Childhood, and Comics

Hi I'm here again.. 'u' Artist: Ariver Kao

STOP!... Before you accuse me of having bad reasons for this 2.. week-or-so-something hiatus. Not really a hiatus, that sounds too long. Just a break; a little one. Went for lunch and got lost. Now here I am 2 weeks later with lots of funny stories to tell! Yayayay!
No, not really. I say this every time so I don't think anyone will believe me anymore, I'm like the boy who cried wolf except that I'm not a boy and there are no wolves in my life. Maybe I just say that nothing special happens because I'm use to living my exciting life. HAH! HAH! HAH! So funny ;o;

Now please recall the events of 2 weeks ago, or should I say, in my last post.

"In more hilarity I fell asleep earlier today and rolled over my headphones, thus making them break into two."

Picture above shows what I meant. It was a funny moment but at the same time shocking and confusing. I drew a diagram in blue on my $500 editing equipment:

More or less, this is what happened. As you can see in the picture though, they're still usable. They snapped at a weird spot, but it's main purpose still holds. And if it ever bugs me too much I can duct tape it. Next after this was lots of just a few other things.

I MADE FLAN. FLAN IS MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!

I should just write a whole post about this. But last Halloween it was a Monday and I was tired and had to do my homework.. Sort.. Of... _*ahem* Yeah! This was taken when I just got home since then the pile has reduced to about 1/4 of the size by now. I didn't count them this year but I didn't eat all of the good ones in the first day either. This must be the maturity of being in grade 10. Heh! HEH! Actually in one of the first houses we went to, there was this guy that looked at us young adult children with shame in his eyes. He said "Aren't you guys a little too old to be doing this?" SHUT UP..*cough* SIR. WE ARE STILL CHILDREN AND I LOOK LIKE I'M IN GRADE 6 SO STOP BEING A DICK AND GIVE US OUR CANDY. Yes, if only I could say that. Hah... hah.. I'd never say that in my lifetime probably. Halloween is the only holiday where you can go to someone's house saying a measly phrase that no one understands anymore and expect to receive food (as long as you look like a child). It's ridiculous but no one complains! And if they don't like it, they can just shut all their lights off and peek at us from behind the blinds (WHILE WE EGG THEIR HOUSES). Anyways, I think I'll keep doing this until I have more important things to do on an October the 31st (so basically my whole life). I didn't take pictures of my costume this year because I didn't painstakingly create a mask. That was still poorly constructed ;_;. (And the more exciting(?) post.)

I don't know where else to put this, so here's the Halloween comic I drew for the newspaper club:

Strangely flipped and coloured in on photoshop (but still badly aligned) because I realized that the order of the children was backwards. I made this a full size page comic because I wanted the newspaper to use it as a filler page. BUT NO! This issue was just a sad sheet of folded paper with my tiny re-sized comic hahaha. I haven't actually found any copies to pick up and read yet. Even as a member of the club I can't find it anywhere lol. This comic shows the hard side of Halloween. Something we have all experienced in our lifetimes :').

As for events in the last weeks or so I don't have much more to say besides these other than that I JUST MAGICALLY TIME TRAVELED BY AN HOUR! WHOOSH! GOING TO SLEEP NOW I'M SO TIRED.

In smaller less unimportant news that I would write a whole post on if I blogged more often, I had this dream and woke up to find myself sleeping on my face with a strange pressure on my eyes. Turns out that I had slept with my glasses on! It was unusual so I tried to take them off when... I WOKE UP FOR REAL AND REALIZED I JUST WOKE UP IN MY DREAM WHAT THE FUCK. It was weird so I went back to sleep. THE END.

And in extremely urgent super important news, I got a cushion for my $4 swivel chair!!!!!!!! Seriously though, this chair sucks, it's horrible.

CYU..

Next week probably :c

Mooncake Fever

YOU SAY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL ENDED 2 WEEKS AGO?! NO. IT'S THE THIRD COMING THIS TIME. MORE MOONCAKES.

MOONCAKES FOREVER.

Holidays are Just Excuses for More Cool Food, Right?

Did you know that I PS'd the moon? ;_;

Happy Mooncake Festival!

I feel less left out despite not knowing anyone in guitar class because when the teacher asked us how many of us didn't know why we were there basically 3/4 of the class raised their hands. PHEW. The real school work starts from now so expect shorter and shorter posts in the next... 10 months. HAHAHAahahaha... I still want to take ICT. ;_;

The yolk is never as moist as the tv commercials.

Goooodnight!

Mid-Autumn Blues

It's not even spring here~~ Artist: Yonasawa

I feel bad for important days that overlap. Like that one year where Valentines' day and Chinese New Year overlapped and one of them was forgotten (the latter probs). This time it's 911 tomorrow and mid-autumn festival on the following day. My condolences to those related to the incident. It'll be one of those things that no one will forget (or forgive) and changed the face of world security and thoughts on terrorism. Let's look on the brighter side now.. :)?

Mid-autumn festival has to be the best part of Fall. Going back to school is interesting and fun but nothing is done for the first month or so, so it's actually a boring month of the year. In school related news: I couldn't make it into my Japanese class because it conflicted with math; which conflicted with English and socials. Why is my luck so bad this year ;c? I bet next year I'll get a call from the counselor saying that my English conflicts with my socials, math and science and that it'll be impossible to get into a required course. Ahahahaha.. :(. I had a choice between Foods level 2 or Guitar Beginner/Advanced. I chose guitar because I'm already in jazz and since it's a music course so it'll be easy/slack off/catch up other work class. Despite my ungratefulness with this stuff, the counselor called me at 5PM on a weekend. Last time at 10AM on a Sunday. Shit, that lady is hard working. I hope she gets paid double for having to deal with kids like me lol XD.
Ate lotsa moon cake today. I remember being too sick to eat moon cake last year and that it was depressing because moon cake is legit the best food IN THIS WORLD.

Traditional or non-traditional, it's still moon cake and it's still GOOD.

CYU TOM.

Summer's Tears

Sunset scenery goodness from 108!. Artist: 108

"I don't think it's been going that well for the past while." Oh no, here it comes. "You know, um.. About us dating and all. I'm really sorry, really." If you can make the effort to say sorry why are you breaking up with me? "Sorry. Uh, I..." "It's alright. You don't have to come over and pick up your stuff, I'll drop it off at your house tomorrow." I turned around before I could completely see his face in response to how calmly I took it all. 4 months was the limit for this one.
 At this point, the tears should have started coming down... If I hadn't been through this nine times. If being dumped nine times has taught me anything, it is to just give up by now. But there's nothing wrong about a little hope for the future, right?

9 DAYS UNTIL SCHOOL

Hmm.. Almost at 7 days, aren't we.. Every time I write one of these they get longer and harder to cut off (excuse my awkward writing with minimal planning lol). I want to continue with it but it'll end up being an even higher wall that I won't be able to climb.. I was never a good rock climber anyways ;(.

I think I'll keep writing first person narrations in these story-bit-things because it's more interesting writing from the view of a different person each time. Here's one from a hopeful that falls in love.. very hard. You can make up/guess the rest :9.

What else now.. It is 3:22AM at this moment, I have run dry of live streams to watch, and my brother is next door talking on skype while he has brought a friend over. Why would you bring someone home at 2AM? D;; At least I'm not trying to sleep and it's not in my way.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<PEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEWPEW>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My last week of summer will be spent silently mourning the death of freedom and youth (youth-freedom) by gaming and doing other unimportant things. I just checked my summer to-do list (this is a physical copy I wrote in my free-time) I wrote back in July here:

-Karaoke [SUMMER ACTIVITIES YAH? LOL]

-Beach [SUCCESSFUL!]

-Fireworks [nothing special about these really ;_;]

-Clean room [will never happen]

-Seriously play music [almost happens]

-Band meet-up [I don't know where the hell half of these guys went]

-Picnic [too much organizing]
-A lot more! [nothing else ;_;]
Pretty hopeful as it was written on July 24th. So far only the beach has been checked off. I don't know about seriously playing music but this whole month has been a joke and even if I did seriously play I don't remember it well enough. Time hasn't really passed in these 3 months as my room still looks like it did when I just got out of school. I'm a magic time traveller. Have I really been this busy? ^o^ hahhahahahahahahahahaha I must be popular then hahahahahahhahaha.

Whatta weak son'ovva bitch.

"Hey Christa! Where'd you go this summer? You didn't go on msn or post on facebook." "Huh? Um.. I... Didn't do anything." "......" "....Yep."

The conclusion to my back to school summer conversation with my honest classmates. WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY??!??! Recently, I've been getting too good/strong in this game, even the hard bosses like naked merman up there are really weak and get killed in like 10 hits. Kinda sad ;<.

More nonsense for tomorrow,

CYU.
