More Strange Things

I feel better now after entering this blog:  Creepy + Pasta . Looks like strange things could really help with anger and dealing with emotions. Plus some dark chocolates. But I dislike this one a bit, there's a lot more stories that seem fictional than stories that seem real. Looks like this blog focuses on fictional stories rather than factual ones. Yappari, Saya  is still the BEST.

Angry and a Nervous Wreck

It is my final year in school. I have to honestly say that my results are definitely not that good. I have less than 200 days left before my final exam and I feel absolutely anxious. I'm a nervous wreck. Usually, I feel fine most of the time but my mood is really changeable and unexpected. Well, that goes without saying for being a Cancer sign. I get angry at any annoyance at school and talk it out in my brain. Being a girl, I am expected to help around the house and I do. But this year, I asked my mother to ease out all the house chores for me, just let me do simple ones because time for everything is important to me. She agreed and for some time it went on like we agreed, but nowadays she's asking me to do more chores. I do it anyway because she's my mother and she needs help since she's working, but the thing that I don't get is that I am not the only daughter. I have two other sisters that are perfectly sane and healthy to help around the house but they are not ...

Moors

English movies always show the moors. I gathered that by definition, it is a bleak landscape where there are few or no trees at all, and few vegetation. I have to say, I fell in love with moors. Yes, they are bleak but beautiful. When the heather blooms, everything is just so magnificent. I've never been to a moor before, but I made a promise to myself to go to one when I get the chance. Heck, I would LOVE to live near one. All images belong to their owners. They were taken from  here .

Laziness

Oh God. This is a problem that only the extra-terrestrial forces can handle. I think laziness can be a good thing especially when you're the speedy type, the type of person that feels the need to do everything at once. Being lazy can be nice because we need to stop and breathe and relax and do nothing for a change. In my case, however, it's becoming an epidemic. It will prove to be a fatal blow for me if I don't do something about it. I have exams coming soon, but I still dilly dally and wander away in my thoughts and do stupid stuff like watching videos, even though I acknowledge the absolute importance of studying. I want to study, I want to do my homework, but I simply refuse to. I don't know why, this laziness has dragged me into this dark hole that will surely be my deathtrap if I let it. It is going to ruin me. Therefore, I hope the divine forces would have the mercy and pity to help me, since I am unable to do this myself. Oh wish me luck.

I Found The Book!

So I went to another town just for a little day trip. I visited the bookstore and found, lo and behold, a hardcover book titled 'Watership Down'. I was prepared to buy it, prepared to abandon all the other books that I was holding in my hands to buy, if it proves to be expensive. I grabbed at it, inspected it, and felt all gloomy. It was in bad shape. The cover was a little bit dirty and some of the edges of the cover were torn. The top had a mark where somebody carelessly blemished with a permanent marker. Feeling discouraged but determined, I asked the bookstore clerk if they had another copy that I could buy. He checked for me and said it was the last copy. I thought about buying it, but I dislike books that are dirty. It's okay if it's an old book or the price is cheap, but I'm certainly not going to buy a torn book with the price of a perfectly presentable one. With a heavy heart, I had to let it go and hope for another encounter with a book with the same tit...

Horror Tales

I've been into horror/ghost stories lately. Especially ones from Japan.Things in Japan are always so bizarre and out of the ordinary. One of their attractive features. I've been reading real-life murders in Japan too, pretty weird and strange, I have to say. SAYA IN UNDERWORLD . Whenever I feel like getting a bit of thrill. I visit her blog. It's spectacular. Love the posts here. But she's been very busy that she updates less these days, if not ever. It's understandable, everyone is busy nowadays, but the contents in her blog never fail to create chills down your spine. She works hard to translate them for her viewers and I appreciate her for that. Reading all these horror stories has made me become paranoid and odd. Every glimpse of the eye or every odd sound will make my head go wild. Just now, I thought I saw a head at the corner of my eye on my bedside table, turns out that it's only one of my stuffed doll rabbits. Haha. Can you believe it? These stories...

Laruku in MSG

There are no words in my vocabulary that can be used to express the sheer awesomeness and level of pure greatness in this live. I am not being dramatic, well maybe, they've held better lives than this, I think, and they always create such amazing lives, like the 15th L'Anniversary. I think that was the best live they've held. But here at Madison Square Garden, it's definitely a different feel to it. They are the first Japanese Band to play at the arena, and I'm a PROUD fan for that. I got to watch this live in youtube in the middle of the night, so I'll express how I feel right here. The intro was amazing. Visuals were spectacular. When Hyde started to sing Ibara no Namida, my senses were awoken. It was one of the dearest songs that I've kept in my heart. I don't need to comment on the band's playing, because they were in the heavens, as usual. When Drink It Down played, my excitement was aroused. It was a marvel. Sometime after that they suddenly...

Football

I just randomly watched a Barclays Premier League today on Wolves vs Bolton and there was a tight scene where the Wolves were about to score a goal, the ball was going at the right direction, to the pole. A player, Ryo number 30, was just miraculously waiting at the pole by chance and kicked the ball away. If it hadn't been for him, Wolves could have scored a goal. I got interested and googled him. I can't help but think how impressive Miyaichi Ryo was. He's very young, just one year older than me, but he had achieved so much and got wonderful reviews from all those managers. He's incredible. He is my favourite football player now. hehe :D

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

The movie is marvelous. I love the movie. But the thing that I love more than the movie is the book, which I randomly found the other day! From what I've seen in the movie, John Le Carre did a wonderful job. Well done to Tomas Alfredson too. I have not read it yet, I haven't even opened the plastic cover, but I plan to next year. Right now I need to focus on my studies, but there are so many beautiful books to buy and read, so I'm just hoarding them at the moment. I love Gary Oldman on the cover. :)
