Welcome Back: Determination, Tenacity, and the Hardships of a Student

The colours EHEHEHE. Artist: 9210
Ah... Where do I start?
Of course there's a limit to putting off things even when there's no deadline, but if you stop it you can also turn the hiatus into discontinuation forever. Lol I'm joking! :D
Thanks to all your heartfelt emails and comments, I've decided to blog right here, now, 2012, today!!!!!!! Whatta load of bullshit ;_; I'm still surprised that I've been busy since January 30. Actually my break started a while ago and I had time on other days to blog too but never enough time to do anything that requires sitting down and pouring out my FEELINGS.

Strangely since the end of January/the start of science fair I've been busy with that uh.. science-y stuff. Which was 2 weeks or so of stress and confusion. First and last year doing science fair, I'm amazed at how many people continue taking incentive science knowing that they HAVE TO DO SCIENCE FAIR HOLY SHIT IT IS A WASTE OF TI-- Back to the uh.. topic, just when I thought I'd be done, I had more projects. And before I could breathe out that thought, I had more projects, and then we had more projects and teacher protests/tests/PE dance project practice/disappointment and I passed out. (No, not really.)
Our 5-day-teacher-protesting-first-taste-of-spring-break.. break cut into the week leaving us with just Thursday and Friday left before spring break.. WHY AM I NARRATING LIKE THIS?! Ahhhhh, no more of this boring re-cap shit. Actually it's not only this kinda stuff that was eating up my time bringing a' change to my life (sorta. Everything in my life is a sorta, stop complaining >:C!) 


I got a new phone. I also switched plans and stuff and I feel like I've taken a big step from leaving my phone at home all day to keeping it in my pocket all the time. Smartphones do this to people right? Even though it's not a really fancy phone I feel special-ish. Btw I bought a drink just to get that cat keychain freebie (now that i look it it, it doesn't even look like a cat. It's a persian btw). This was taken really recently so you can't see my old cool LASERRAYGUN keychain :c. I liked that one a lot too.
Getting a new phone is very refreshing and I feel like I've uh.. Opened up to the world a lot more :). 
I took a lot of pictures on it so I guess I'll just um.. Post them here. They're sorted by order that I took them so it's funny. Only to me though. SNIPPETS OF LIFE GO!!!!!!!

Omg look at those camera effectssssssss I'm so cool~

This was taken on February 26th. It snowed that day.

Snow in February. Yay... :C It was more like shards of KNIVES.

Omg it's sunny but I used that effect again I'm so cool~~~~~~~~

If you rolled in it you would've died.

Brighouse station.

The peak of my messiness. Why am I showing you this? because I love you <3. I think this picture is hilarious. So funny oh my GOD I'M ROLLING ON THE FLOOR. No one thinks this is funny, they just think it's disgusting. (WHY IS THIS SO GRAINY?!?!)

Did I tell you that I joined Dragon Boat? Yeah. This is the locker area we get ready in before we head out.
This is FAIRLY IMPORTANT so I'll say it now. *SPOILER ALERT* Lol I'm joking. Like the picture says above, I joined my school's dragon boat team that practices every Friday. So far we've had 3 practices. Some with full attendance, some with abysmal numbers. ALL WERE RAINY. I come back around 7 with wet hair but no one realizes how weird it is because the skytrain is full of weirdos so I'm good (jk). Also that the water is so salty oh my god so salty why did I lick my lip uhhhhhhhh it was so SALTY.
False creek. Where we practice. It's so nice and pretty here <3. The boats are at the left but we didn't use those that day. Btw I still don't get why it's called False Creek. SO IT'S FAKE?!

The effects just make it look gloomier than it is.

My grandma on the couch playing with a tablet. Lol grandma why you so weird?

Coffee shop condensation is crazy. (The window says #EZKey. I'm glad you asked.)
Btw it snowed today.
Yeah. After the pictures I never really have anything left to say. I wrote a lot up there anyways. Nothing much going on right now so I'll just quietly finish my homework assignments while I play around next week. 

Till then, CYU.

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.

CYU.

Thursday Waltz

I guess this would've made more sense if it was posted.. 2 weeks ago or so?
Brrrrrrrrrr--PPQFKWAAAAAAAAAAAAA--------Hi everyone. It's rare, but I'm posting on a THURSDAY. OH MY GOD THURSDAY! 4-day week was surprisingly long and now I'm acting like it's over even if we have some excruciatingly difficult homework tomorrow :c. Gotta write english shit 'n all this shit for Monday soon :c.
Pictures of snow in my neighbourhood. Yes, this happened about 2 or so weeks ago but you must not force an artist to produce. Tis a crime! Or something :<. Last post was about being SERIOUS so ok, yes, I'm done talking just scroll through the pictures now.

Long exposure makes the sky look so bright. I photoshopped the glare out.
I don't even know what's going on with the left roof, is that glare? No, can't be. WHAT HAPPENED?! (I captured a ghost on camera)

In more fantastic news....
I was in the middle of studying for socials with my cup of urine when the other side of my headphones broke off. Yeah, I knew it was going to happen too. I laughed a bit hahahaha. Idk what the person who designed these was thinking.. "Let's make the top stick out so the person using them looks like a freak it breaks off easily." Probably ;_;

Of course duct tape because we love it and it is OUR SAVIOR! Go duct tape go!!!! I actually taped the broken plastic bit so it overlapped with the other connected part so it fit better. Still wondering why they made them like this.
In very less (or more) exciting news I don't even know why I posted this here I think it's interesting though. It's salty ._. ok yeah.
I don't have much else to say because I've reached my word limit for this week oh my god school why you do this to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ignorance is Bliss

Mm.. Winter is full of sexy sunsets too. Artist: algenpfleger

"Chopin Nocturne Op. 9 No. 3 in B Major (Arthur Rubinstein)"
(You should read Daphne's posts so my references etc. actually make some sense. *But they don't really do even if you read them*)
Sometimes in your life, you read something so compelling it makes you want to do something. Like crying or writing a response. I guess this is a the latter. Usually we do this because we disagree and have some enraged complaint. In my case then, YES 100% I DISAGREE. Well no... of course not. No one should be that un-supporting to a friend unless their concept is complete utter shit. Haha (Daphne you did nothing wrong.) Actually, I've heard Daphne speak of death like this so often that to the point where when she gets sad and thinks of the horrible possibility of complete unconscious numbness and starts crying, I can just stare and laugh at the idea. Being sad over the idea of nothing. Sure many people can say that death is something that they are afraid of because of several things: What will happen to my money? What about my presence on this earth? I don't want to be forgotten. It must hurt before death, hurting sucks. All my efforts will have gone to waste. My loved ones will be sad.
But like she said, the meaning of understanding life is to understand death. And even though Death is something that you can understand to the extent of life, it is nothing we will never fully be able to empathize with. Dead men don't tell tales. Certainly, that is true and exactly why Death is something so interesting. Death is what makes life interesting. The very thing that ends us brings us life. Strange, ain't it? Think about the phrase "Live like it's your last day". Pretty damn interesting. The thought that "it" will end brings some to do crazy random shit, but also compels others to achieve as much as possible. Unless you decide that there's no point in trying and just giving up (pretty reasonable idea for suicide). *ca-COUGH* Back to the topic that I actually don't have, I have to agree that the only thing that I have an extreme fear for would be the unknown. No amount of research or study can prepare you for the unknown. Guess that's why we can ask those with more experience to tell us what to do. 
You don't have to understand everything because it'd take the fun out of experiencing life itself. 
God will never truly be pleased and we won't either. You don't have only one life to live, who the fuck made that ridiculous CONJECTURE?! 1. Who are you to say there is only one life to live? 2. Stop saying that, just stop. Though I too have no basis for saying that it is incorrect. Hm.. Think about all the doors closed with the thought of "That it's not possible?!" It's good to stay open minded. Your brain needs oxygen to live too you know?
One day you'll wake up and realize that you haven't done anything else and that you have to make sure that your mark is on the planet. And one day you'll also wake up and realize that you've done well, lived well, perhaps not made your mark, but have done what you needed to do. Or maybe you'll just stay oblivious with the fact that nothing will start or end and realize that you pressed the snooze button one too many times and are late for work/school/whatever the hell you do.
Death is the lingering scent on the chair of the person you may meet, but will never remember the name of. He is the person you should stop assuming about because you will never understand him anyways. And he is perfectly content with the thought of being the ambiguous being he is.
And that is my conclusion. Have a nice day. Cyu.

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
