Sukii, Daisukii... eh..nandemonai (^^;)

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good day (^ ^) ~!

First of all, last Monday my english teacher told my whole class and I that we were to type and double space our Beowolf essays and have them ready to be turned in by Wednesday (today). Today, when it came time for us to turn them in only three people had done the assignment and the rest convinced our teacher that she told them it was due Friday. So, now they are due Friday. I still turned mine in, but....all that work...(>.<)

Also, today in Spanish II, my teacher told me to switch seats because apparently the seat that I was sitting in was positioned in a way that made my back face her and it made her think I wasn't listening. So, now she thinks I don't listen even though I have gotten an A on every test she has given so far (I also got A's and B's in spanish I)...maybe she thinks i'm cheating D: ? Yeah, so, because of that I felt really sad most of that class and stumbled on a bunch of my spanish words/phrases. And we're going to be having a speaking test on Friday.

In Anime Club, our president announced that today was our last day of watching Kyo Kara Mao because it's a really long anime and if we watch al of it we won't have time for other animes (also, he didn't really wanna watch it in the first place lol X3). So, next week we will be having a game day. My job is to bring in my [small] tv which I have decorated with anime and puppy stickers :D .

Oh, and next week in Anime Club we will be voting on and announcing the winner of the drawing contest. ....I still need to do mine (^.^;) .

Tomorrow, i'm going to go to Spanish Club after school (The spanish club teacher is not the same as my Spanish II teacher this trimester). We are going to continue making Marigolds out of yellow tissue paper for El Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) which is basically the halloween in Mexico.

Info about the holiday:

People go to cemeteries to be with the souls of the departed and build private altars containing the favorite foods and beverages as well as photos and memorabilia of the departed. The intent is to encourage visits by the souls, so that the souls will hear the prayers and the comments of the living directed to them. Celebrations can take a humorous tone, as celebrants remember funny events and anecdotes about the departed.

Flowers, symbolizing the brevity of life, are massed and fashioned into garlands, wreaths and crosses to decorate the altar and the grave. The marigold is the most traditional flower of the season. In Aztec times it was called the cempasuchil, the flower of 400 lives.
The fragrance of the cempasuchil leads the spirits home. Sometimes paths of the petals lead out of the cemetery and to the house to guide the spirits. A cross of marigold petals is formed on the floor so that as the spirit approaches the alter, he will step on the cross and expel his guilt.

p.s. Lately, I have been listening to this song alot. It's soooo cute (^///^)





My poor little laptop (:^:) it never hurt anyone....

Thank you for clicking on my blog (^v^)

For the past few months, the battery to my charger has been acting weird. Whenever I unplugged my laptop from my charger I only had about 2 minutes before my laptop shut down and died (it seemed like I needed a new battery). Then, when I tried to restart it, the screen would just stay black and the caps lock and num lock key lights would blink. So I wouldn't be able to get my laptop to finally turn on again till about 30 tries later (>.<) .

And to make matters worse, about a week ago, my laptop started to tell me at random times that my charger was not plugged in and would shut off. So I had to change outlets multiple times while using my laptop. And yesterday, the charger just wouldn't work no matter which outlet I plugged it into (I checked all the outlets, they work fine). Later that day, my dad and I found out that my battery was never really the problem. It was the adapter to my charger. So basically my charger has been killing my battery this whole time and I don't wanna go intpo detail so..... (x.x) yeah, Akamaru (my laptop's name) was betrayed by his charger D:

On Another note, we never did go to the zoo on Saturday because my sister's friend never showed up. She didn't call. Didn't e-mail her. Didn't explain what happened at school. Nothing. Yeah, so we waited around for over 3 hours only to come to the conclusion that she wasn't coming. And that's what went down. (^.^;)

Tomorrow's Wednesday which means ANIME CLUB~! I'm gonna save a seat for Ouji-sama--! (^ ^) Oh, and we're gonna watch Kyo Kara Maoh (Save our King) which is about a boy who gets flushed down a toilet and ends up in a different world and people think he's "The Demon King" because he has black hair and black eyes (Japanese).

Kay, that's all I have to share....sorry it was short! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day....bye! :D

p.s. There is a really good chance that I am not going to be volunteering at Aki con this year because of transportation and maps and.....yeah. So just thought i'd share that. OK, Byeeee~!





Evil Kitties....Giant Cookies :O ~!

OMG, SORRY FOR THE WAIT...!

First of all, you remember that cat that randomly has been wandering around our yard? Well, we just found out it's a boy since my mom and dad saw it spraying on stuff outside...it's also very territorial and chases our female cats (who are fixed) up trees...Also, a few days ago, my mom had been telling me about how it had let her pet him for the past few days..So, I gave it some meat in order to win it's trust then, washed my hands to get the scent off of me. And when I went to pet it the cat scratched me a bunch of times really fast and then ran away. It didn't sink it's claws in though so it wasn't so bad although now i'm afraid to go near it.... D:

Last Wednesday, the 21st, my sister, Minami's, birthday passed. I didn't have time to get her anything :< so I asked her what her favorite cookie was (Peanut Butter) and made her a HUUUUUUUUUGE cookie. She still has not finished eating it (^_^).

We also had Anime Club on Wednesday and I passed out a bunch of flyers for Aki Con. Our President and Vice President also announced that we will be starting our very first drawing competition of the year~! :D The theme is "[any] Random Video Game" . I think i'm gonna make mine Catherine themed :) Oh, and the winner gets a pikachu backpack :O  !!!

That's all for now~! Bye byes~! Have an amazing day and weekend. Tomorrow i'm gonna go with my mom, dad, sister, and sister's friend to the zoo to celebrate her birthday [weekend]~! I hope to see the red wolves :D

Aki Con, Cleaning Sheds, Birthdays, Cute Doggy, and Kitty :D

YAYS, AKI CON IS COMING UP AND WHAT-NOT (= w =)

Oh, and WELCOME~! :D

Hehehe...it's been awhile since my last post so I have decided from now on i'm going to do daily posts only they're going to much much shorter than usual :P .

So far this year I have made over ten new friends :D they are ALL so wonderfully awesome!~~~ :D

Also, It took sometime but, I finally bought mine and Bujoku's (Bujoku is one of my super great friends from West Sound Tech school) Aki Con tickets. My final chore to earn the last of what I needed to raise the money was to clean my dad's messy shed. I don't have a picture of what it looked like before but, here is the result:

( I turned the camera sides-ways when I took the picture[s] )

This took quite a bit of time but, I couldn't get it organized that much though since my dad has so much stuff and we have such a tiny shed to put it all in (^.^) .

Oh, and while I was cleaning the shed, my little sister, Jenny/Minami, and my dad worked on making a new bunny home for Clover (our brown n white bun bun :D)

I also thought i'd post some pictures of our pretty puppy Bella~! :D

After cleaning the shed, I spotted Thomas/Delilah hiding beneath it (0.0)

Lastly, two of my sibling's birthdays have been celebrated this month, and another one will be celebrated tomorrow.

September 17th - My brother, Shawn's, birthday

September 19th - My sister, Sakura's, birthday

September 21st - My sister, Minami's, birthday

HAPPY [late and early] BIRTHDAY ~!

Told you it'd be short (^_^). Well, I hope you enjoyed reading my blog. Thank you so very much for trying some pancake lemonade :D
Oh, and have a super amazing, fantastic day!~ ( OMG, Tomorrow is Anime Club :O )
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~~~~!

 P.S. I took some pics with my little sister, Jenny/Minami, you can check 'em out if you like :D

I love taking pics in our EPIC mobile home  \(^w^)/

First day of the year as a 3rd year (senior)~!

Gakko wa subarashii desu~!

*School is awesome~!

Today was my first day at South Kitsap as a 3rd year~! And even though school didn't begin till 11:15 AM for 2nd and 3rd year students, I and a few other 2nd and 3rd years showed up with the 1st years so that we could socialize for about 4 hours XD 

And during that time I; decorated my locker with super awesome anime pics, talked to the anime club cabinet about future events (our first meeting will be next Wednesday/ the 14th); I talked to AJ about asking Anthony-chan...lol, just kidding :3 Anthony about arranging a cosplay trip to china town, Seattle :D

I also read Soul Eater vol.2, and listened to the "Nyan Cat" while talking to friends :D

After it turned 11:15 AM, I went to my pack (advisory/tutorial) where I found out that my friend, Megan, whom transferred out last year because a schedule change, is now going to be in my pack class once again this year~! :D YAYS~~!

Info about school schedule:

Each day we have 3 classes out of our 6 classes so, our school days are split up like this:

"A" Day- classes 1-3

"B"-Day- classes 4-6

As for my other classes, I mostly just received some syllabuses and introduction about the class since we only had 20 min. for each class today. Yet, in my Spanish II class, (2nd Block) I found out that my teacher is the chaperon for Anime Club! So, when I walked in I was so excited because I hadn't been in the anime club room for 3 months! And when I saw Señora I was so happy and couldn't wait to talk to her~! Though, when I walked up to her while trying to figure out where my seat was on the seating chart, Señora began to speak to me in español. I mean, I was kinda expecting it but, I haven't taken español since I was a 1st year so........yeah, I had no idea what she was saying...Yeah, I need to make some español flash cards. (^.^;).

OMG, I understand a little bit of this-! :O

Oh, and something really cool about my schedule this trimester is that the last class of the day on an "A" Day for me is English (my favorite subject) and the last class of the day on a "B" Day for me is Current World Problems (one of my favorite teachers will be teaching my class)~!

Well, i'm gonna go watch Sailor Moon~! Bye bye for now everybody and have an amazing day~! *waves*
