I am finally going to continue my studies. It's just for a year of vocational training in Nursing. My first day is tomorrow and I'm kinda nervous and anxious, it's been two years since I graduated from high school with no continuing education within those years. This school that I enrolled to actually has started their classes a week ago, so now I have to do double study to make up for the stuff I missed. Which means I have less time for being online doing fandomy stuff. ಥ_ಥ No matter, I will manage. Procrastinators have their ways.

So. My mom and I got back here in California a few days ago. I feel tired and sleepy and just plain lazy right now. So many things happened during our one month stay in the Philippines and I'm not sure I could recount and put them all into writing.

Now that I've had my vacation, it's time to work on school matters and get my enrollment started. Hopefully the school I've got my eye on still accepts students.

Uh, a random meme ganked from kye_kestrel:

I've been catching up on a few manga that I've previously left off for a while. Beware the spoilers.

( Naruto chapter 411 )

EDIT: Oh, oh, I forgot to mention--Konoha Gakuen HS special: More, please?

Insurance Guy,

Where are you in the last few days when I'm trying to call you?

Meme stolen from _leareth:

The Big Read thinks that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

( Here be my list )

I saw something amusing and baffling in the news today. Apparently, John Lennon has a statue in Cuba. And they have guards rotating shifts to protect it. Because its glasses have been stolen twice now.

I feel good today, had a good breakfast for a change. Lately I've been scrounging in the fridge for breakfast, but today I cooked an omelet with mushrooms, onions, and cheese. After that, I have a lot of time to re-read Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora and watch anime episodes of 12k. And the weather's nice too, not too hot like it's been last week. Celine, have you been very busy lately? If not, there's a very good novel I'd like you to read.

Am making a late night post. Celine, this is for you since I told you you should post more in your journal, this is just me setting an example.

I just finished watching Sweet Home Alabama starring Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas. I caught a snippet of this movie years ago while I was surfing through channels but I wasn't able to watch the rest. The movie had enough romance in it that would make you smile, but not too much that would choke a horse. Celine, I'm not too sure if my memory serves me right, but wasn't it you who told me about this movie?

There, see, I did my job, now it's your turn Celine.

Wee! I now have a new series to lose sleep over!

Discovered Clover by CLAMP a few days ago. Been hearing about it quite a while actually, but it hasn't been until recently that I decided to give it a go. I fell in love right up from Volume 1.

And so, I also have a new shiny pairing to support and possibly worship to OTPness---Gingetsu/Ran. Seishirou/Subaru still comes in number one of course, but Gingetsu/Ran is coming second. Unfortunately, Clover fandom is quite obscure with little fics and icons here and there. BUT I will continue to hold out for CLAMP to pick up on where they left off with Clover Gohou Drug X/1999 and hopefully when that time comes, the fandom will revive.

Was surfing through the net yesterday when I came across a screenshot of Seishirou from the anime adaptation of TRC. I looked through more screenshots and decided that I'll most probably swear off the anime version forever. Anime Seishirou didn't do enough justice to the Manga Seishirou. The ears were too big, his right eye seem to be working, and his voice is BLAH.

I don't think I'll even consider waiting for their version of Subaru should the anime go so far as Chapter 124. ::shakes head::

Anyway, I'll just hope for more Seishirou appearances in later chapters. CLAMP's still holding out on Seishirou and Subaru's history...
