newest obsession

VALKYRIE HELMETS <3
soooooooooo pwetttty.

semi-related rant: Valkyrie profile won't work on Donna's DS T_T" why oh why.

so here's my attempt:
copied straight from a page in the early chapters of the manga adaption of the game
(oh, remember how in the previous previous post I said I would go sleep early? Guess what I ended up doing till 11:40):


The above is from Lenneth valkyrie, Hrist's looks pretty cool too.
Best lessons learned from art class: fill up the whole page, and line weight, when done properly, is awesome.

and to put mine to shame, here's an much much better one found on dA:

Valkyrie Profile PSX by ~diegofcp179
Much better details and circlier circles. Yeah, almost 10 years of art lessons and I still can't draw straight lines/perfect circles "orz

T>eternal gratitude for one of these kickass helmets.

"moderate hatred" serve

Nick's birthday party todaaay.

Beach volleyball:
sand = scorching hot. Had to dig to the wet sand to keep our feet cool. I broke my I-only-sit-around-and-can't-play-any-sports stereotype and have battlescars to prove it harhar. Cummer>Bayview.

Water fight:
"I call the hose!" Everyone was so lame and stayed in the no water zone D: I had fun sneaking up behind people and hitting them with the paddle. The squirt-y thingy was also fun, psssssh who needs water guns. Water balloon=fail grenades, they bounce off the person then explode D:

BBQ+food:
Food was gooooooood. I've never liked crackers+cheese (marble) so much. The dip for the veggies were good too; cucumbers were gone in the first 2mins haha. Homemade patties ftw, it's at least 3 times thicker than a ripoff McD's one, had a hard time taking a bit. Later we had fruits and cake. I ate SIX slices of watermelon, which was too much. Although I was bloated, I still had a slice of tiramisu. I can't wait to try the authentic ones in gritaly *u*

lol @ car ride home. Haven't seen a sunset for a looooooong time.

tired.
oh so very tired.

been going to bed a little later than usual, overanalyzes things while trying to sleep and so falling alseep a little later than usual, in the morning the light is waaaaay too bright so waking up a little earlier than usual...all these add up.

so tired and so much still left to do XD
I'm sure if I stop complaining/getting distracted and actually concentrate on working I can get everything done easily. But alas, it's not possible. I shall hope for a miraculous surge of motivation and energy so I can get everything done. I'm looking at a history summative, sap summative (darn you social sciences!), and exam prep.

I'm sure I'll be fine. Believe in yoself, ya.
...I believe that I will go to sleep early today "orz

Nephilim John

Summary from MangaUpdates

Battle angels, Lucifer, demons, and holy wars: a nephilim by the name of John is abruptly thrown into this world one day when Michael, a battle angel, comes crashing into the room he is in.

Same author as Ares, aka, it's gooooooooooood. In fact, doesn't Michael (the angel) look exactly like Baroona? Yes, yes. For those who think Ares' art is hideous (which is completely false, the art suits the genre well), Nephilim John's better while retaining the same rough, fluid style :]
Big bonus that all the chapters are scanlated.

My thoughts about the ending below, aka spoooooilers
The ending is sooooooooooo open ended, it's about as open ended as anything can get. Am I upset over this? Ehhh, a little. The manga starts in the middle of John's life (his parentage was never explained) and so I'm not that upset. Plus this means there's a chance of a sequel ;D Sure hope so, love Ryu Geum Chel's works. I'm also surprised that John didn't end up with Isabel. This is another situation that I would usually be upset in (cough Legend of Nereid cough), but I'm quite okay with it in Nephilim. Loki's pretty cool, I approve hahahaha.

See, things that I usually can't stand in other mangas I'm completely fine with in this XD Another sign that it's worth the read.
This totally extended my patience for the release of Ares 177 :]
haaaaaaappy day.

frizzles!

Today in history, while supposing to be prepping for summative, a bunch of us was talking about shows that we watched in our childhood.

Presenting...

Best. Thing. Ever.

Although I don't quite remember watching it on TV, I do vividly remember reading all the books during library time in elementary school.
Those were the daaaaays...
I think the blonde kid in the front was the really wimpy one. The girl in the first window was...athletic? Haha I dunno, but I'm certain that Ms. Frizzles always wore different outfits and earrings that matched the adventure that they're gonna go on. I would LOVE to have her as a teacher *u*

I wish my school had magical flying buses D:

heat "orz

Why is it already 30?
That should come 2 month later "orz

ABC is a painful game.
Though I can't complain since I hit hard too XD

Exams are just around the corner...
I shall prepare my hideout with the dust bunnies.

later addition: I dont wannnnnaaaa make history notes -whine whine whine-
I spent a good 10 mins flipping through my history textbook trying to find my review sheet. Page by page, page by page. It generated a nice breeze though. Didn't find it, was about to panic, stood up, notebook fell from lap, review sheet fell out! A good mix of frustration and happiness occurred. I'm just writing this to procrastinate, terrible me.
tmrw's history summative, sigh. I can't do in class writing. Need time to rest and review work -whine whine whine- I think I'm just talking alot since my throat was hurting the entire day. Don't think I'll go to JA if throat is still acting up.

(dont bother reading the above chunk of text) I think next year can be better.

brunch: green fried rice + belated last week's

Fried rice with broccoli, green pepper, eggs and minced meat.

Broccoli = good addition to fried rice. Pepper, not so much, it gets mushy too fast. Wanted to make something veggie filled in attempt to balance the fast food yesterday @_@" Turned it pretty good, would be better if my sinus wasn't blocked so I could actually taste the food ._."

Last week's:

Penne with zucchini and button mushroom stir fry.
Tasted a it bland, not a huge fan of zucchinis either.
