Bored~

3:40AM @NJ

おはようございます！（笑）
A little Ouji moment up there for me.（笑）

We went out a couple of days ago and I saw this:

Ochibi and Kin-chan would have gone crazy if they saw this.（笑）Fanta!


The sunset for the day. I'm surprised to see the colors so clearly. Will try to take another photo when I have the chance!

I'll go and sleep now. Haha!
おやすみ～

Blackout.

The rain was so bad yesterday!! (>o<)We got stuck in a school building waiting for it to let up. I had to take a photo, though I'm not sure if you can tell how bad the rain was from this.

Typhoon Basyang pretty much officially struck later that evening. I was working on some things on my laptop when I heard the wind pick up, and heard things get knocked over outside...It was a pretty scary thing to hear.

I don't like storms very much...and I dislike them even more when there are blackouts--not only is it nerve-wracking to hear the chaos, thunder, and howling winds outside, but it is also very dark and spooky. It makes me feel like a lost child. (>.<) The power came back to our neighborhood about an hour ago, so I tried to get back to work then.

Unfortunately, it might take a little while more to figure out my thesis...I don't have a theoretical framework just yet. Urgh...


On a side note, the integration seminar for seniors was actually quite entertaining--I attended it last Monday, and picked up some useful things...I guess.
They made us write "bucket lists"--things we want to accomplish by the end of our senior year. Honestly, it really serves to make me a little more pressured...Especially that bit I wrote about my thesis.

I'm determined to make my thesis based on the otaku culture here in the Philippines...and I know I will do it. I need to do this, to convince myself that I can...Research paper writing has never been one of my greatest strengths, and so I need to make this one particularly good.

No use worrying about it though...I need to actually do something about it. Ugh...The power blackout kind of halted my progress on my thesis...I need to find something.

頑張ります!

Teru Teru Bozu~

Since it's been rather hot these past few days, and even though brief rainshowers have been passing through the neighborhood recently, it's really not enough to cool most of us down. Muh~ (>_<)

In light of that, (and because of the movie Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu) I made a little Japanese weather fortune doll to hang in my window. (^o^)/

It's called a "teru teru bozu", and normally you see it hanging upright (with the head up) in order to promise sunny weather. But if you hang it upside down (like i did) it promises to bring rain. Which I think we all need. (>w<)/

Maah, try to make some of your own! Let's spread the weather fortune dolls around, maybe the more we make, the sooner rain will come down. (>w<)/

ETA [6:27pm]: IT RAINED JUST NOW! YAY!

Cloudless skies~ ♪

We've been having clear, blue skies for the past few days~ ♪

Absolutely no clouds !! (^o^)/

It's a little hot though. LOL. (^^;)

2010!

Happy New Year, everyone! (^o^)

My family and I went to Eastwood for their New Year Countdown. However, since we really just wanted to wait for the fireworks display, we waited in a nearby McDonald's Cafe. (>_<)

My last hour of 2009 was spent sipping a cup of tea, taking photos, and counting down to 2010 with a crowd.

2009's last cup of tea. It was good. (>_<)

My niece/godchild. I love her, she's so adorable. (>o<) She's growing up so beautifully, i hope she's a good kid, i rarely see her, honestly (she's my cousin's daughter and i rarely do see my cousin). I want to be a good godmother...

Of course once the countdown started we went back to the main event and watched the clock tick down the last few seconds of 2009, and then the chaos began.

Confetti showered down...

And fireworks went off.

It was fun. Fireworks at midnight, and of course konked out to sleep later that morning. Little did i expect Ochibi to invite me to a New year's party at their place. Even though i got there at around 10pm, i stayed till around 5am chatting with them, other people, and spazzing about Tenimyu. (^^;) We forgot to watch the sun rise (Though i don't think we would have seen it anyway)

I hope everyone's New Year was as good. (>o<) May 2010 be better for all of us, yeah? (^^)

Chasing after meteors

Wouldn't that be a good song title? or even an album title. I've got to try and write lyrics to match, it sounds so pretty. (^^;)

A beautiful patch of blue sky, taken this afternoon. Though it was mostly cloudy today, i couldn't help but take a picture of this one. The shade of blue makes me feel somewhat peaceful...

I present today's lulz, though.

A HELLO KITTY CAR. IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

I think the barangay chairman owns it. and drives it. O.o

If you're wondering about the meteors in today's title though, there's apparently going to be a meteor shower tonight !! (^o^)/

Meteor Shower peaks Early Tuesday morning~

I actually really want to watch~ But it's so late !! (or early, depending. LOL)

Just once in my life I want to see a real meteor shower~ !!

Maa. Someday, someday. LOL.

What would you wish for? (^^)
