Flu! D:

A bit of a warning first, this post will probably consist of me ranting about my current state of health. Which is (in a single sentence) that I have the flu. And that's all you need to know, unless you want to read on and absorb the lovely ranting of yours truly :)

----
Oh dear, dear Blogger. How I've neglected you so~!

It's been perhaps a week since my last post, and true to my word I've been gorging out on cookies and ice-cream alike!

I was doing pretty well actually until. . . I fell victim to the flu. Yay. Two days ago I had a tickle-y throat, but yesterday all I could do was lie on the sofa and groan about every joint in my body aching and nurse a swollen throat. Also whenever I got up I would feel dizzy. So unfortunately I had to cancel work.

Hopefully I'm well enough to work today! Fingers crossed!

Well enough about me complaining, I do too much of that nowadays. I want to blog about stuff I've forgotten to blog about lately!

Me and my friends in the school Stage Band performed at the Jazz Fest - a festival of Jazz. XD

It was awesome but my saxophone squeaked in the first song, and Alpaca-kun's baritone saxophone broke before we got on stage. But we managed. :D

Oh my gosh, there was a power cut in work on Monday! Lots of fun dealing with customers when it's 8:00pm, dark outside and the power's out. :D

------
Oops, I've posted this two days after I wrote it XD

I'm sicker now, yayz - instead of a phlemy cough my throat feels like sandpaper, I'm constantly dizzy and lightheaded, my eyes have this burning sensation from time to time and. . . my nose is stuffed up yet somehow manages to run constantly through day and night. Plus I'm feeling nauseous, and I can't get to sleep. Apparently I've got the flu~!

Woke up at 2am for a drink and laid awake for four hours afterwards before giving up on sleep altogether and just watching the sun rise.

My lips are also chapped and are starting to bleed, despite the fact I'm using lip balm and I'm drinking pretty much 8 or 9 bottles of water a day.

Basically it's sucky to be me right now. THIS IS MY HOLIDAYS, DANG IT! My brief respite from tedious schoolwork.

And I haven't finished that Physics assignment that our teacher gave us to do over the holidays yet (which is wholly unfair).

Plus I've bought new anime-styled RPG PS3 games that I haven't played yet! (is that enough acronyms for you yet? XD)

Well I'm ranting so I will not be surprised if no-one actually reads up to where I'm typing now. So I'm not offended or anything if you gave up before now :P

Basically, I'm sick of being sick.

~Shining Sunlight~

Let's hope I'm feeling a little better tomorrow :)

The Holidays!

BAD NEWS! CATASTROPHIC!

I've lost like half a kilo of weight :(

Without meaning to :(

I'm trying to GAIN weight here, people?! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?! I love my food more than I love my. . . uh. . . (thinking of an appropriate metaphor but is drawing up a blank XD. . . but you get the idea!)

Unfortunately I think I know how it's happened. Being sick this week, I haven't eaten half as many things as I usually do, I've been feeling nauseous on and off everyday for the past five or six days or so.

And so I've been skipping breakfast, eating a generous sized lunch and then a large dinner. Which is good until we get to work. I usually skip dinner when I work, because I'm usually not hungry enough for it when I leave, and when I come back home I'm too tired for it anyways. That means I only eat my lunch. Shock!

So I've resolved to eat more this holidays, to become slightly more curvy and at least 56 kilos before school starts back up~! (I'm 54 and a half kilos right now)

My gosh this is terrible! All I want to do is put on weight, when people around me are trying to lose it.

I can see the irony in this XD

--
Anyway - separate note: IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!!!

I can start writing a few of my planned stories, finish a few forgotten artworks, (ignore my physics assignment), eat, sleep, daze, rest, chill, play playstation, READ~!

Ah, tis the life. Tis the life.

The past term has been kind of stressful, more exams and assignments than ever as we lead up to senior, and boys with the immaturity level of a five year old as friends. (don't think I've forgotten my wonderful girl friends out there, I'm just ranting about the guys. And CERTAIN ISSUES that have arisen this term. Ahem.) And a male cousin who stayed with us from England who had an even lower maturity level than that. Thank god he's left!

Why is it that all the males in my life seem to suffer emotional obliviousness and are prone to fits of childish immaturity?

Okay, well I am exaggerating here (Alpaca-kun and Gus-gus seem to be the noted exception to my ranting :D) but you get the point. I don't often complain about humans of the female variety.

Well, I'm in a good mood for the holidays, so I'm not going to let some little issues like that bother me. Plus my waifu comes back for the holidays! Must nag her for the exact date of return~!!!

~Shining Sunlight~

ICT and CAFFEINE!!!

HALLELUJAH!! It's 1:15am in the morning, I'm high on caffeine and I've finished my ICT assignment~!

A small preview here:

Took me wayyyyyyyy too long to make such a simple animation *sweatdrop*

And yup, my Physics assignment lies UNFINISHED next to me, despite my assurances to my parents that it was all taken care of. Which it technically is, since the physics assignment isn't actually due till next term.

Hey, I wrote the hypothesis(es) for the two experiments, and their purposes. Give me some credit. But I lost the data for the first experiment (it's in my room...somewhere...) so I'll borrow someone's book again tomorrow.

I feel so forgetful. (insert facepalm here) Sorry Mage-chan! I shall find that paper, be it a matter of life and death~!~!~! *determined face*

Ha, well now it's 1:20am and my protesting email address has finally sent my precious ICT attachments (after a bit of a fight but we talked it out :D)

So now I'm off to bed. I think. Perhaps I should read a few updated fanfiction stories first...heh heh heh! (I've already read 100+ thousand words since I got home from school. That's as well as peeling a ton of carrots, watching a movie and two tv shows. They should be paying me for this XD)

Meh night y'all. :)

~Shining Sunlight~

Awesomest week!

This week has been pretty awesome!

My auntie has come over to stay - she's brilliant, she does ballroom dancing as a hobby and has a good sense of humor. Plus, she sat patiently through half an hour of K-pop while I was busy nattering away about kpop and anime in general :)

She also agrees that Taemin is cute, said that she loves Daesung's voice and that G-Dragon's sexy ;)

The best aunt ever~! Plus she bought me Bigbang's new limited addition album :D

She's holidaying in Lady Elliot Island right now with my Mum so I'm unfortunately having to shoulder a little bit of responsibility - mainly getting us up in the mornings and helping Dad with work, my sister with her schoolwork etc. But it's actually only a small amount of extra things to do. The main problem we seem to have is that without Mum around we've run out of food. Chocolate tortilla wraps, a chocolate bar and chocolate mouse for lunch, anyone? (no joke!) XD

Also, I bought a PS3 with my savings! And let me tell you, Final Fantasy XIII is INCREDIBLE!!!

So is a Harry Potter/Hetalia crossover I just read :p

Running out of things to say. Hey, did you know that when you swap around "Noses smell and feet run," you get "Noses run and feet smell."

Heheheheheh! I find it obscenely funny for some reason~!

Oh, also want to mention that I recently realised how awesome my figure was. I have the bestest waist~! I actually don't want to grow anymore. Yup, I'm even satisfied with my breast size~!

Which sounds kind of stupid, but whatever. I'm comfortable with my looks so screw you all~!

Haha, and on that weird and probably uncomfortable for you readers note, I bid thee farewell!

~Shining Sunlight~

Actually...

You know, for all my whinging and whining, I actually don't procrastinate that bad.

I bought two new playstation games today. Played the one of them for ten minutes then went straight to music revision.

Haven't touched the second one yet - and seriously, you guys haven't learnt the meaning of temptation until you have an as-of-yet unplayed Final Fantasy XIII game for your new second-hand PS3 sitting on the dining table waiting for you. Calling you.

Beckoning you.

I couldn't resist its calls for that long, I put it next to me as I did my work - it's very good motivation~!

So yah. Oh, and I bought the cutest dress today~! It's blue and green and kinda reminds me of some vintage clothes or something, but it's brand new so yah. Totally need to organize a get-together to show it off~! ;D

Okay I'm pretty sure that I'm going to bed now. It's late. Night all! Sweet dreams <3

~Shining Sunlight~

Procrastination - good or bad?

Am I a bad procrastinator? Or a very good one?

It depends on how you look at it really.

Procrastination is, so I'm told, an apparently bad thing to practice. Therefore I am a bad procrastinator - what with me slacking off much too often in favour of reading fanfiction or playing video games.

But I must be good at procrastination with the regularity with which I practice it with, so I must be a good procrastinator, right?

I've confused myself. XD

Well today for want of something other than my music revision to do, I've just finished cutting my toenails and I'm now debating whether to watch some grass grow outside or to watch the neighbour's newly painted fence dry.

It's a tough decision.

~Shining Sunlight~

Procrastination FTW~!

Now then boys and girls. What do you do when you have an assignment due tomorrow that you don't want to work on?

We log onto Blogger! Of course, this is AFTER we've exhausted YouTube and PruCan fanfictions :)

~Shining Sunlight~

Ha TV and Kpop!

Watching Nu'est's song 'Not over you' - was stumped over whether the members were boys or girls . . . (--.--)

Apart from that, this morning's PopAsia was brilliant as always :)

School tomorrow, just as I was getting into the weekend but I'll manage. At least there's a lot less homework now~!

Oh man, I watched the first ep of the new Doctor Who season! FFUUUUUU--

Yeah it was good :)

But I got very disappointed when I learnt that Amy and Rory broke up over her not being able to have children - he spent 2000 years waiting for her and likewise she waited 40 years or so (though she doesn't remember).

You'd think that they'd realise that there was a thing called adoption. I mean, they hadn't even talked about their options. Silly TV people~!

I shouldn't look too deeply into it, I know. It's only fictional after all ^^

IU has the prettiest dress and figure! Jealous~! (not actually - I can be very self-obsessed when I want to be)

Went to a birthday party today - I'm pretty sure I have a few bruises from
an over-enthusiastic game of soccer (try playing soccer in a short dress - I deserve a friggin' award~!), but it was great fun and it's good to let loose and run around every once in a while.

What, I run around often in school anyways? Screw your logic, I have my padded insanity ward for company~! *sticks out tongue*

Aaah! G-Dragon's new song just came on~! Weeping tears of joy! (loving G-Dragon's voice and sexy bod ;D)

'That XX' is the name of the song - it has a nice acoustic line ^^

I do believe I got sunburnt today. Sorry for the sudden subject changes~~!

Pfft I'm finished for now. This kinda feels like a random diary entry!

~Shining Sunlight~

Shout out to Bellsie-chan - we'll have to Skype again, properly this time :)

Tagged quiz

Hey lookie~! Apparently I was tagged for this quizzie thing:

~~~~~
1. What do you want to be in the future, and why? (why is optional) Likewise, please do not skip the question. You may put several [or many] professions down if you're unable to choose, or just the general direction you may be heading in.

I want to be a game designer in the future. This job could include, but not limited to, designing art and sprites, working on game mechanics and physics, working on coding and programming behind in-game actions etc. I'm hoping to study all of them :D

Why do I want to be a game designer?

I would enjoy it. It would be hard, but seeing the finished product and watching people's smiles as they play the game you slaved so hard to accomplish - it would feel so satisfying!

2. Where in the world do you want to go to the most and why? (why is optional)

Australia. Which is where I am currently. Why would I want to go anywhere else? It peeves me off when people don't realise and value the beautiful country we live in, they're always looking for something different. Australia's amazing guise - just open your eyes XD.

On holidays, however, I'd like to visit Japan for 6 months or something, after I graduate from Uni.

3. What is your favourite [school] subject, and why?

Urgh, you're so cruel~! My favourite school subject? I like ALL my subjects, however I find some harder to cope with than others (but I still get A's and at the very worst B's).

My favourite subject would probably be English, followed by Maths, then ICT. I would enjoy Maths more if my teacher would stop burying my alive under homework :(

ICT is something I enjoy but because we're still in Year 10 it hasn't been narrowed down to coding yet, we're still doing graphic design - which is okay, but I want to get straight to the juicy stuff XD

I do enjoy Music, but I seem to find it difficult. Nevertheless, I try my hardest and I go for A every time (but I usually get A, A- or B - which I'm incredibly thankful for)

Physics is that subject that I put up with. I don't enjoy, nor do I dislike it - but I get annoyed with my teacher sometimes. I want Mr. Wilke~! I just feel that the subject could be so much more exciting, but instead it feels as though I'm walking to . . .oh, how to put it . . .a tax office, or something. You have to do it, but it doesn't mean that you like it. I just want our lessons to be a bit more personalised and a little more in-depth and challenging. I think that when I get a different teacher in Grade 11 I'll enjoy it more :P

I tend to enjoy Maths quite a lot - sometimes it's almost theraputic to work your way through equations. But then other times it drives me up the wall with its repetativeness.

4. I'll reuse glsmile's question, if that is okay with her: If time stopped, how would you take advantage of the situation?

Oh mein gott, did you actually just ask that question? How can I answer that in a simple blog post?

Firstly I want to define that if time stopped it would be done by me, voluntarily, and I would have a way to unfreeze it too. Otherwise I'd spend the whole time panicking andlooking through fantasy sci-fi novels on ways to undo a time-freeze. And I'd get a fez. Definitely get a fez.

Okay, so if the criteria of this particular time-freeze met the above (I had a way to undo it) I would do a lot of things. Firstly I would finish my homework. Next I would watch all the anime I haven't watched yet that I have stashed away somewhere in my bedroom. Then I would go to the store, steal anime, watch it, remove my fingerprints, then return it to the store and no-one would notice. I could do the same for manga, too!

Next I could read all the fanfiction I want! Yippee! Only bad thing is that the chapters would never update. Which leads me onto my next thing to do: I would write a novel or three :)

When I freeze time, can I unfreeze a few things? Like, a car for example? Or the movement of a train? Then I can hop on a mode of transport to Brisbane and input instructions for the train to return to how it originally was. When I'm in Brisbane. I'll find a store with pocky and chocolate-filled marshmellows, and I would pig out. But then I would feel guilty so I would leave money on the counter.

I'm also assuming that you grow old whilst in the time bubble, but when time resumes you return to your original age. So I could find a way to get to a undiscovered diamond mine or build an oil rig (don't ask the how's, I'm just awesome enough to manage it by myself) and I could bring it home and store some in my bedroom, so that when time resumes I'll be rich :D

Okay, I'll also do stuff like learn Korean and Japanese, research univerity courses and visit campus'. I could also . . .listen to music. Lots of music. And I'll go clothes shopping and leave the amount necessary in crystals or little steel boxes of oil. I'll also learn everything necessary for game design. AND I'LL BUY LOTS OF VIDEO GAMES. For research, of course. Ahem.

Well, basically there's too much to put down. Oh, and like Mage-chan said, I'll also learn the flute and tenor saxaphone very well~!

Hey, it just occured to me that the world could have frozen before now AND WE WOULD NEVER REALISE because we would have been the ones frozen, and to us life simply continued - we didn't realise nor even experience the effect of a freeze so yeah. Think about that ones boys and girls XD

5. What are your favourite things to do, and why? (just in general)

I luuuuuuuurve to read fanfiction, because it's limitless and without boundaries, and I think that the amount of effort, passion and dedication that goes into a fandom that I also love dearly is beautiful. But hey, I'm probably weird for finding fanfiction 'beautiful' :)

6. What type and genre of books/text do you prefer? ("type" may include fanfictions, novels, light novels, fairy tales etc., and genres is just "romance", "comedy", "mystery", etc.)

Yeah, fanfictions. I also like fantasy, mystery and plot twists, a LITTLE but of romance - likewise a little but of comedy and almost always these must be novels. (manga is in there too!)

7. What do you strive for in life? (e.g. happiness, success, love, money, freedom, honesty etc.) You may answer differently to the example if you wish.

Eh, I haven't really thought about this one before, but I'll think about it now. I strive for happiness, fulfillment, coughmoneycough, a little love, solid friendships, eternal mental youth, success . . .but mostly happiness and fulfillment. And a bit of money can't hurt ;)

8. If you could describe yourself in one word, what would it be? (Hard question, I know. If you can't manage, I'll allow you to do one sentence.)

Aw man! One word/sentence? Uh . . . "Bubbly"

Does that work for you? *sweatdrop*

9. I'm seriously running out of ideas... umm... do you believe in the afterlife/nextlife/reincarnation? If so, which kind/one?

I'm atheist (I don't believe in religion) but I think that it's nice to believe in some reward after we're gone. Personally, I like to believe in Buddhist reincarnation. (is that how you spell it? I mean no offense if I didn't get it right ><)

But something I do believe in is karma - both good and bad.

10. ...what is your preferred writing utensil? (mine is mechanical pencil btw XD)

My preferred writing utensil is the computer. Either Microsoft Word or Notepad.

11. If you could become fluent/learn any language in this world, it would be? (If you're already learning one, then say that you are learning one. If you want to learn another one, then say that you are learning one and want to learn xxxx)

I would choose English. But since I already know this (duh!) I would choose Japanese, followed by Korean.
~~~~~
Ta da~! I FINISHED! (I think I just spent a whole hour typing that up --.--) BUT IT'S OKAY! XD

Wow, too long-a time!

My gosh, look how terrible it is - I have neglected this here poor blog! My baby! Q^Q

So I will resolve to WRITE. Like, at least once a week~!

Alrighty, so today Gus-gus is coming over. We're probably going to revise a little Maths, play Sax and watch Castle :)

On Sunday I have a wonderful birthday party to attend . . .except that I keep molesting the host at school, and he threatened to revoke his right to take away my invitation! D:

I joke I joke, all I did was hug him. BUT HE'S TOO ADORABLENESS NOT TO HUG I MEAN LIKE SERIOUSLY~~~~! *insert Poland here to explain XD*

Now I've finished all my assignments and exams for the time being, and I'm extremely happy with my results - A's all the way~! Which is very good, since I've been feeling like I'm struggling a little lately with my schoolwork -  especially with my Music, but whenever haven't I struggled with that?

My birthday has come and it has past. I got (drum roll please) MY COSPLAY~! And, Hetalia season 3 arrived on disc - I sat down and watched the whole season all the way through, no breaks - which wasn't that hard since the episodes are only 7 minutes long! :)

Ah, it was so beautiful~! Prussia . . .broke the fourth wall. That's just how awesome he is!

In other news, I've resolved to buy a new camera for a few hundred dollars. That means that I can take proper photo shoots with some other cosplayers in Animania (I was serious when I said I wanted to take professional photo shoots. Or as professional I can get, anyway~!)

Nyaaah . . .what else to talk about? AH! AHAH! I changed my name on youtube? Can you guess what it is????

...."Gilbert Beilshmidt".  Isn't that awesome? :D

Gus-gus isn't here yet. I forget at which time he promised to arrive - I think he said 10am, but it's only 20 past 8 as I'm writing this. Perhaps I can rewatch the whole season of Hetalia whilst I'm waiting.

Oh my gosh, I finished my ICT assignment and I'm so proud of my logos! Here, I'll insert my fave one below -

Oh, my computer's playing up. It's refusing to attach the file to this blog :(

Ah well, I'll upload it on DA or someat~!

I'm going to have breakfast now - I'm hungry! Maybe I'll have nutella and cornflakes without anyone noticing . . .kesesesese!
