Surviving Bombs and Anniversaries  
Up until last Friday I've been busy. It was fun, in a way, I've had worse homework to focus on, those I don't know shit what to do a day before the delivering date, this time it wasn't the case. Still, I almost didn't live to tell the tale. Hell, I even had a bomb threat by the end of the week!

Yes, I'm doing a very bad joke about something that happens seriously in other countries, but really, I can't help it! When I called my mom to tell her, because, shit, we had a freaking bomb threat in my school and the TV got to us before the bomb squad! The first thing she said to me was "who had a test coming?". NOBODY took it seriously, not even the cops. I kinda wish it had happen on monday because I had a test, not that I didn't want to do the test (I did fine, btw), but it woulda been kinda cool to have cops showing up in the middle of it telling us to please get out and have my teacher complain that until the people taking care of finding the bomb were there, better to keep doing the test, and throw the cops out. Seriously, with that teacher, that's what would have happened!

But it was Thursday and classes started late and we saw the cops coming in. We had presentations to do so we ignored them and went to class, but those who didn't do the presentation stayed out and came only after they found out the true: There was a call with a bomb threat. My reaction: Eyes rolling. We started asking those who didn't do the presentation who had called, because if that wasn't the reason, someone in Design had a project to deliver or maybe one of the Architecture students had an exam coming up. More than that, it just isn't possible, not even being cunning enough to have a building to themselves and take upcoming tests or a monitor from the computer room or take money from somewhere... and no, a real bomb wasn't really in any form a possibility.

It's kinda nice to find out your country, or city, or simply your school, in this case, is safe enough to not take a bomb threat not even remotely seriously. I kept thinking, twenty years ago it wasn't as safe, not at all, but now it is. And now I think there's a facebook group called "I survive the school's bomb". And every now and then, that event is gonna be used as a celebratory excuse to drink (a lot!).

After that, things calmed down. I had a birthday party on Saturday, that lasted all the way through Sunday and I didn't went to sleep until seven in the morning (and I only did for two hours before going home), and it wasn't until that time I came to realize it was the anniversary of Claudia's death. A grim thought, maybe, but I mostly forget the date until it is most of the time, is not like her birthday when I think about the years she doesn't have, I just block this date away. I remembered because my friend, the birthday girl, was a little too drunk and talking to me about her dad, that's been dead for two years now, and she still has issues with him after he's gone because she just put too much pressure on herself.

I seem to be very good at listening, as a friend. We talked until the sun was out again, and I talked with her boyfriend, also my friend, about some of *his* issues, and because I didn't sleep properly that night, it wasn't until Monday morning I got my hangover, gah. Pretty fitting, all in all, with both my friend's endless party and Claudia's anniversary, cus if I did know something about her was that she was of the philosophy of getting wasted to solve everything.

In cheerier subjects, I got a package today! Took a picture of the content and all (with my cell, that's why is not that good!).



Lupe, I love you!! Thank you for this, is lovely! I have it now on my dest next to the pc. It will keep me company!

"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."  
Now I'm three days away of going back to classes. And I've been true to my word. I spend less time around here during vacation time that when I'm busy with school.

In any case, on monday I went to see the Batman movie with Nataly. It was pretty cool. I'm gonna miss Heath Ledger. I managed to enjoy the movie even with a HUGE headache bothering me. I've been having some of those in the past few months, and that bugs me, but is never bad enough to cause problems.

I went to cut my hair after that. I don't know if I like the end result yet, but still, I needed the change. I get bored easily with my hair, and I won't dye it until summer, so the cut was a good idea.

on tuesday I went to visit Misa and her baby. She seems to be a lucky mom, cus her kid is usually quiet and sleeps most of the night. Isn't that awesome for a one month old? She showed me a video of her wedding, and really, I don't like traditional catholic weddings cus I'm not a believer, but she did look beautiful with the white dress and stuff. I'm kind of glad I was in the States back then, though, cus going to that wedding meant wearing a formal dress and hills. No thank you.

Wednesday was Berni's day. I went to her place and we drank too much coffee and she gave me anime to watch. I think I'll try one tomorrow, as part of my "stuff to do on vacation" list. I'm glad she called me and we got together. I'm awful at keeping in touch sometimes, but is so easy to spend the time with her, and with Eduardo, whom I expect to see soon because I've still his b-day present around here somewhere.

Today I went downtown to pay my mom's bills and buy my grandma's really expensive pills. And then I got my room half-clean. I'm still working on it. I've also started writing again, thankfully. I haven't finish my book, though, and I want to do that by tomorrow.

I also want to go have lunch with my dad. Maybe visit Alejandra. Manage to get my mom out of the house when her work is finished would be awesome!

And then classes again. Sigh. Well, until september anyway.

Keeping busy  
Three days into my week vacation and I've already accomplished several things I had wanted to do for a while now.

We went out to eat as a family to a Swedish restaurant because my mom wanted to try fondue. Then everything else in the menu reminded her of something her mom used to cook when she was little and everything she eat at home was in German. I actually asked for something I didn't know what it was and tried some of the stuff that were around in the table. Yummy.

Before that I went with my dad and one of my brothers to the stadium to watch a soccer game. It's been years since I had gone, so I decided to go with them after I actually convinced them to go. Our team won, so we left the place really happy and nobody destroyed anything (that I know of). We had no mayor issues with the police except for the fact they kept not paying attention to me when we went in and I keep thinking it would be really easy for me to kill someone inside because they would never, ever, consider me a suspect.

I'm also half way through my first vacation book. I'm reading Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams. I'm guessing I'll be giving this book to my mom after I finish it, cus it's just her style to want to go visit lost islands with endangered species and take pictures of them. Just the kind of thing I will never do because as much as I love the stuff I watch in the Discovery Channel, I'm much of a paranoiac to go to a place where the list of ways I can die doubles just by trying to get there.

Alejandra and her boyfriend came by just a little while ago to pick up my mom's laptop, cus I asked him to fix it so it'll have all the programs my mom wants in it. Yes, I am that good of a daughter. And I shouldn't be, cus I've just found out my mom watched my Saint Patrick's Day's pictures that I stupidly left in the laptop for her to find. Fuck it. I didn't want my mom seeing me in that state. I know there's a video in there when I'm trying to bust a friend's confidence by telling her her boobs are great and then the two of us (Milagros and I), plus Jessica, danced too close to each other for the camera and it was more ridiculous than sexy and I was (kind of) drunk. Argh.

Tomorrow I'm going to the movies with Nataly and then I'm cutting my hair. I've had enough of it already. On tuesday I'm visiting Misa and her baby and sometime on friday I have to check on Alejandra to let her complain about work because she wasn't able to do much of it tonight.

I have to call Berni and Vesna and Josemar one of this days. To have coffee at least. I miss them, and I know it will be Cesar's birthday soon, and I want to see him, so hopefully everything between him and Vesna is going fine.

Katia's birthday is the week after this one, and I have to send her at least a postcard. I haven't talk to her since last year, and she hasn't post anything in her LJ. I know she was planning on traveling outside of Mexico for some time, but she would have say something, right? I'm worried. I could call her home, but I'm always an idiot on the phone. I know I should try writing her an e-mail, and I will. When did I became such a lousy mail-writer? That's how we first communicated, before blogs and LJs. Then things became easier and I became lazy.

I have manage to make a decent order of my PC, though. I have all my music in one place again, which is a lot to say, considering it's over 30 GB of files and mp3s. I'm also coping every drama and tv show I have in dvds and in order. Which means I also started downloading the stuff I was missing to have complete sets. Buffy, Farscape and the season I didn't have from Scrubs are now downloading.

Considering I haven't have a real vacation since the last winter vacation last year, cus the vacation in september it was kinda messy and I didn't have any summer vacation, I'm doing pretty good organizing my time!

GAH  
I'm not officially on vacation yet. I still need to know my grade in the last Geobiography test to know if I need to give an exam to past the class or not. So far I haven't done so well. I just found out the test from last friday where I thought I did good, I didn't, and I'm kind of piss about it, because it's not the same to do bad when you don't know shit and do bad when you think you did good and didn't. I had good grades in that class and now my final grade dropped and I don't really know why. Not fair. I HAVE to do better next semester. I don't care much for classes were the teachers are crappy, but I liked Geoeconomy and I liked the teacher, just like I like Territorial Organization and its teacher, and I did crappy in his test too, though that's for a valid reason (I was feeling like shit). I don't care about Geobiography or the teacher, though, but I don't want to give an exam and suffer through that.

What did made me feel better after the last long, long week, was spending the weekend with Daniela. We went to see the X Files movie (She liked it, I didn't, but it was still fun), and watched JE concerts and Shokura episodes and a musical with D-boys in it until six in the morning. It was really nice to ramble with her about nothing important and enjoy the winter vacation even though I'm still not free from school.

Now I have the week ahead of me, hopefully I'll know my grade soon and get out of that mess to be able to enjoy the nothing to do days and watch dramas and such. And I have to buy my mom a present for her up coming birthday. That's about it. Writing? Hopefully.

Oh, Lupe had this and I asked for it so I guess I should put it here too. Meme where, if you comment, I will:

a) tell you why I friend-ed you,
b) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc.,
c) tell you something I like about you,
d) tell you a memory I have of you,
e) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,
f) tell you my favorite user pic of yours,
g) and in return, you must post this in your journal.

Birthday and extra  
Yesterday was a great day.

NOT because it was Massu's birthday. Or Jin's. Or my own twisted birthday (july 4th was the day my parents had sex without protection and conceived me. I know, very romantic).

Yesterday was great cus it was Isidora's birthday!! Literally! Misa's baby girl was born! She's big an healthy and it only took like an hour or less to take her out. Misa kept smiling all day long afterward. I don't know if I'm going to visit them again today, but if not, definitely tomorrow. I finally was able to give them all the stuff I bought for the baby in the States.


In completely unrelated news, just now I watched the first episode of a Korean drama. Usually I avoid kdrama like the plague cus their soap operas are as bad as latin-american ones, but this one even made fun a little of that kind of plots, and it had two women bitch slapping each other with words about their professions, not a stupid love triangle or something like that, and it was really cool. Wish I could see more of that on tv.

I also watched a drama with Sho from Arashi playing a pre-school teacher, so it was basically him and a huge amount of five years old running around playing with mud. Cute. And some random Arashi scenes with the rest of the band showing up as extras here and there.

My first week back to classes was OK. I have a big presentation next week, a small report and two tests, but if I don't get stuck here doing nothing productive, I'm gonna be fine with it. Is not overly complicated.

DENJAA!  
I'm back in classes. Which means, I'm back to having not much to do Thursday's morning cus my GIS class is never fully on cus the programs take forever to work.

So far so good with all of this. I'd two papers to deliver already and tomorrow I have test on a text I haven't read yet. Is all good.

Thankfully, I had a good send of. Last weekend I went to Valparaiso to visit my little brother cus his birthday was last Wednesday. We ate like the world was about to end. Then my parents dropped me off at the cinema and went on to a big party of a friend of the family. I got together with Daniela then.

We went to watch The Happening. We laughed so hard the rest of the people there in the theater heard us. Good thing, then, that they were laughing too. That movie is BAD. Like, in the list of worst movies I've watched, EVER. So bad it was hilarious! Gods, what happened to that director?? (no pun intended!)

We decided, then, that it was a good idea to watch another movie to make up for it. We watched W.A.L.L.@. And it was worth it. BEAUTIFUL movie. The kind I have no problem watching again, so cute and sweet and the kind of movies kids should be watching. VERY well done.

After that Daniela invited me to her place, and without intending it so, I stayed the night and we didn't sleep, AT ALL. We ended up watching JE concerts and interviews and she laughed really hard with the ass buzzer episode of NEWS on Utaban, and I almost fell off my chair when I saw Aiba's falling into a hole. Really, is something you HAVE to watch if you haven't already.



I stayed there until nine in the morning, but then I decided to leave cus we were really sleepy by then and if I slept, I would have stayed until way later, and I had to return as early as possible back home to help out Alejandra with a translation. I didn't do much of that, actually, but I was good moral support? I hope so.

Still, Daniela, hope we do that again. I'm glad I was able to give you stuff you haven't watched cus it's always you who brings me shiny new things. Next time is my house! You still haven't seen my new room and new PC and you have winter vacations and I don't, so come!!

OK, I should go back to the class now.

Life? Life has been OK, I guess.

Had my big test on tuesday. It went better than expected, but that doesn't mean good, exactly.

I helped Alejandra with another translation on thursday. It was FUN. Pretty awesome of us to be able to correct a text about genes and *fungus* without having a damned CLUE about what the hell the author was talking about!

For those who didn't know. We had a volcano eruption in the south the other day. It was BEAUTIFUL. Of course, I feel bad for the people that lived close by and had to leave and leave behind all of their personal belongings and their pets and livestock, but it's a natural disaster, one that's completely common and out of the ordinary in this country (you know how many volcanoes we have here? And that even if they're not suppose to be working any more any day any one of them can go BOOM like this one now? I knew, that's why I'm not surprise), so I can only see it from my career choice's point of view. And from there, it's a beautiful act of nature!

I've find out a lot of stuff about KAT-TUN this past week. I still like Nakamaru a lot, and I'm liking the music (though really, if I want to hear what they want to sell, I choose real j-rock bands instead), but I don't really like them as a band yet. Not as a boyband anyway, where they should be a lot more appealing than just as "musicians".

...

It just finished downloading the season finale of Numb3rs. Last year's season finale was... well, it wasn't pretty. I agonized for MONTHS with the cliffhanger. Now I know for a fact that something will go wrong because Diane Farr is leaving the show, but you never really know beforehand HOW wrong it will actually be. Sigh. I guess I'll have to go and find out before I stumble with a spoiler, right?

Argh.

If I scream in my next post then you'll know what it is about.

...

EDIT: OK, so not the season finale. Thank the gods! 'cus it was really not-an-ending kinda episode. Plus, no Megan, so we couln't say goodbye to her. Next week then!

Back into the virtual world!

Actually, yesterday was pretty much virtual world day too, but I spend the day watching movies and going back on memory lane (I read Gundam Wing fics!), so today is when I'm catching up and stuff.

The day before I had my test about the name of plants in Latin. As I thought, the easiest part for me was to remember the names, and the hardest was to remember where is it that the plants show up, and that's it's what's suppose to matter! Sadly, my teacher's an ass who thinks complicated terms we'll never use are more important, so I think I did OK.

I have a huge test next week on geomorphology. I don't want to study. Sigh. I also don't want to do this class twice, so I better study anyway, right?

I have to go help Alejandra with a translation in a few hours. I don't know if I'll be able to help any, but probably a new set of eyes can help her feel better. I don't know when was it she started thinking I was better than her at this. Or probably not "better", but that I had it "easier". She's the one that actually *finished* the career! I dropped out half way through!

Of course, my dropping out had nothing to do with my English. I like English. I read in English, I obviously *write* in English, I listen to a LOT of English between music and movies and TV shows. I lived four months in a English speaking country to improve my speaking skills. I even think in English more often than not. That's way it seems my English is better, because I'm kinda obsess.

I've told her, a bunch of times, that if she thinks she needs to improve her English she only has to listen to more of it, and read more of it, and deal with more of it. And I think she will. And if you add that she in fact *learned* the translating skills we are suppose to *use* when translating, then she's way better than me at that.

Anyway. I have to get going now. Next time I'll upload some Japanese music I been trying to hook up with some people. You're gonna like it, I promise!

Tadaima!  
So, I've been home for a few days already, since Sunday. Sorry for not writing here sooner, I've been busy and my dear computer at home has been acting crappy, it manage to get a bug in it and now I can't go into the net without it going crazy!

But after a week of goodbye presents (food!), a lot of hugs, two train stations, FOUR airports and an extremely long weekend with two or three time changes, oh, and a change of room, I'm finally home.

I missed you ALL!

Lupe! I got your letter, thank you so much! You were completely right, it did make me feel a lot better read your message when I got home. *HUGS*

I had fun, I got bored sometimes, I manage to buy presents for a lot of people AND give some money back to my dad, I can honestly say I can work without feeling I'm completely useless and I left a good friend behind. Mission complete successfully.

Now I'm back and I have to get myself together for classes, find enough time to go visit everybody I know (I'm gonna go bother Daniela this friday, for example), and then I'll have my computer back and running to find out what everyone here in the net has been up to this past few months.

My mind has to go back to the class now.

Who shot Nice Guy Eddie?  
Today is snowing. Not more than usual, but it's the seconds time it is snowing when I have to walk around half the town. I came to the library right after that, after catching my check and buying a bunch of books in the bookstore. By the way, Nataly, Alejandra, and Paula, if you're reading this, you can tell if there's a book you'd love to have and I can probably buy it here. Is a lot cheaper than back in Chile, I can try it without problem! Just let me know.

So, there's a bunch of stuff I wanted to at least mention. For example, the LOST premiere was last week, and for the first time since the show has first been on the air, I watched an episode, more so, a season premiere, at the same time than the first group of people that watch it! I love it! Of course, it was sad and I still feel like crap because of Charlie's death and the show won't be the same without Dom, but, lets just say the writers manage to acknowledge that in this season premiere.

Another subject, much more important, is that Misa is getting married this week. And because you have not been easy to communicate with, Ale!, Paula asked me to try and remind you that MISA IS GETTING FREAKING MARRIED THIS WEEK, DON'T FORGET!!! Well, that's done.

I finally watched Reservoir Dogs the other day. Gruesome, yes, but a great movie, of course. Hence the title of this post. I also got to watch the first two seasons (and I already rented the third) of OZ, so I have a new fandom. For those who don't know, OZ is a prison show, a lot more realistic and twisted than Prison Break, a show that I never liked because it was too... pretty. The main character is too pretty, the prison itself is too pretty, and for all the freaky characters on it, they're not half as psychotic as the inmates in OZ. Plus, a lot of more frontal nudity. And it has Christopher Meloni, J.K. Simmons and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as this truly awful devious characters, like you have never seen them before (seriously, I can't watch L&O SVU anymore without seeing Meloni naked and doing it hard against a wall with his pseudo inmate boyfriend). Then we have Harold Perrineau as the narrator of the comings and goings of the crazy population of Emerald City, and my favorite, Dean Winters as Irish Ryan O'Reilly, "Lord of the Fucking Dance". I have a thing for master manipulators.

What else? Ah, the other day one of the girls that lives with me had an emotional breakdown. It was kinda freaky. I mean, it's completely natural to have your emotions take control of yourself and take the worst out of you and make you feel like crap and alone when you're so far away from home and you miss your family and your friends and your pseudo boyfriend that it's not really your boyfriend because the idiot is giving you mixed signals from across the globe. I just wish I could make Beatriz understand that and make her stop bottling things up to explode in a couple of weeks from now again. And taking it out on me. This time it didn't happen, but a couple of days before she had an outburst about me always blaming others when something didn't go my way. I'm not saying that's not true, it is, sometimes. She clearly doesn't know me well enough to realize that I'm very good at blaming myself as much as I love to blame others. But the thing is, she told me that totally out of context because she did bottle it up inside for a while, I could tell. I was nice enough to not tell her to screw herself and to look at the mirror because she's not exactly perfect either, I did tell her to let me know at the moment if something I say is annoying her to, well, stop speaking to her.

This bring me to another topic. I miss my people. My family, my friends. I have say it before, most of the gringos here are nice and friendly and couldn't be more welcoming (or hot, this place is full of readheads, full! First Brian, now I have a crush on a girl called Jessica that really loves to dance tight and calls me "hottie" every time we see each other, I love her!), but, seriously? There's no one here I could call a friend. Not the gringos, not the peruvians, not the chileans. I would have loved to come to this place with a friend, though we both would have ended pretty bored pretty quickly. This is a small town! My mom keep insisting I should try and go to Canada since I'm just kilometers away, but because of the lack of public transportation is hard to cross the border and come back in a weekend, like I would love to. To at least say "I went to Canada too!" he.

I miss you guys. A lot.

I was gonna talk about the changes in my house because, believe it or not, the only reason I have cry so far while being here is because I won't have a room when I finally go home. Not only that, I realize I also won't have a computer room, that really, that was my little sanctuary inside the house, and I won't have it. I feel like crap because of that. I keep thinking in a way to leave my house and live on my own, but it's ridiculous because I still have school and I love living with my parents... Anyway, no I don't really want to talk about it.

Oh, another thing. Daniela! I freaking LOVE NEWS! I've been listening to Pacific all week, I mostly love "Code", "Ai no Matador", of course "Sayaendo" and "Ai Nante". Thank you!

This took a lot more time that I intended. Sigh. it feels nice, in any case. Greetings to all, I love you.

Long Weekend  
I had a nostalgic friday, an awesome saturday and a pain in the ass sunday. Long weekend.

My little brother isn't so little anymore. Last friday was his graduation. He played bass in front of a LOT of people and got recognition for his interest in math. I felt proud, old, and envious. My kind of goodbye wasn't that good. Wasn't any good, if I think about it. I'm not in contact with any of my classmates from back then. I didn't leave much of an impression on anyone... And history repeated itself when I was studying Translation. I have to do better this time around.

On that note, I got together with two groups of friends on saturday. First, after, like, two years? I think it was more than that... I went and visit Misa. It was wonderful. Again I felt happy and glad to found out that she and Paula, who was there, are doing good and are now more adult-like still being a little freaky. Misa is getting married in two months. Sadly, I won't be here to celebrate with here, but I'll be back before she has her baby (yes! she's pregnant too!), so I have time to catch up and become a proper aunty.

I found out Paula seems to like the same Japanese dramas that I watch, so I'll stuff her with all of those I've watch so far, so when I come back we will squeal like little girls together (we almost did on saturday, much to the annoyance of Alejandra).

After that, I went to Jose's house to get my goodbye party from them. We didn't do much, just talk about nonsense, but it was nice that they gather to wish me luck and all. Hopefully when I come back we can go to Caleu together again. That place is a bore for me, but with friends you can have fun anywhere, right?

On sunday I had to work on my last paper. We didn't finish it like we were suppose to. It was too much trouble by the end of it. I'm kinda sad I didn't help more, but at least it's done. Now I have a test tomorrow and my semester is finished. Thankfully.

I'm watching two new Japanese dramas. I want to finish them before going away. None of those are really up-lifting and light, and both may end really, really badly, but I can't help it if I enjoy stories about chance and coincidences. Both have Yamapi in it, too.

Sore wa Totsuzen Arashi no You ni (that means "It was sudden, like a storm") it's a story that seems perfect for a soap opera. It's even aimed for a older audience. It's about a woman in her 30' that realizes her life didn't turn out like it was suppose to, and not because things aren't bad it means she didn't wish they were different. And then, she meets a high school kid, who points out to her exactly what is that she feels and what she wants, so she starts feeling... it's like watching a crash waiting to happen. You just know it can't end well. The plot is good enough to distract you from some points any other way you could have picked up (and if I was distracted, that's saying a lot, considering I'm always the one to find out the end of a story by watching only half of it). The relationship between the main characters is surprisingly good too. You don't expect a 35 years old woman to have that much chemistry with a teenager, but I guess Yamapi does make the job of looking attracted to him easy, right?

Long Love Letter has a plot a little different... Though it's a lot about chance too. A math teacher tries to explain to his group of students in recuperation class about the science of "now" and points in space-time telling them of the time he couldn't call a girl that he met years ago because his phone was stolen right after exchanging numbers. I know, it sounds a little silly. But I refuse to explain further, cus I woulda loved being surprised with the twist at the end of the first episode but I already knew it was gonna happen. Just... listen to me on this one. It's better to be surprised.

Today... I went shopping with my mom (I have winter clothes now!). And I have a killer headache after yesterday, I'm gonna go to bed.

Life Update 2  
University: Guhk. Horrible. The one presentation I've been waiting to finally deliver was postpone... again! The teacher assistant responsible for this is gonna burn in hell... or at least, I hope I don't see his face again next year. He can't keep not showing up when we need grades!

Health: Had my eco' today. Bad news. Still useless ovaries. Now I need to show all my tests to a doctor so they can give me some meds! Maybe my ovaries will never work, but I need my hormones in check!

Trip: Have my visa in hand. Almost have my plane ticket. Still no housing. And I need to buck a bus to go from Spokane to Sandpoint. Don't really know how to do that yet. And clothes, I still need clothes!

Friends: So... I finally talked with Carol, the friend that tried to kill herself a couple of weeks ago. I was busy and she was avoiding the subject! Anyway, I manage not to show her what I really feel about what she did (STUPID MORONIC ACTION!!), and I kinda sounded wise. I did tell her about the similarities between her stupidity and Claudia's, and I think I had my point understood. She's not close to being better or even good, but I think I helped, just a little, by not cuddling her but not been harsh either.

Fandom: Just watched Yamada Tarou's ending. It was nice. I didn't love this story like some of the others I've been watching, but I liked it, it made me cry more than once, and the ending I think was pretty good. No life-changing surprise out of nowhere (though, almost, for a second there) and a lot of sibling love. It's a feel-good kinda story.
Now I'll go watch Proposal Daisakusen, hoping this one really has a happy ending, because it has been breaking my heart all damned weekend!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, [info]sailorscorpio!!!

Hope you had a wonderful day with your family and friends, and of course, a birthday runs for the whole week, so keep on celebrating!

(now I'm going back to sleep)

"Some of them want to amuse you, some of them want to be amused..."  
It's more than eight o'clock in the morning on a holiday. I just got home an hour ago from my big halloween party. I'm dead tired but I don't wanna go to sleep. For those who still don't know, I don't have a room anymore, so my bed is the big sofa in the living room, not a seclude place where I can sleep til noon without the movement and noise the rest of my family is gonna produce in an hour or so.

The party was OK. I was hopping it woulda been better, but though luck. I didn't even dance in the J-rock dance floor. Nor the Brit-pop. That kinda suck because every time we walked around them the music sounded great. The old wave' theme dance floor, that was the bigger room in the place, was where we danced most of the night. They showed a LOT of extremely FREAKY videoclips. But I got to dance "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" of Eurythmics, so everything was OK with the world. I love dancing to that song! Oh, and then we went to the Gothic room, and that didn't went too well, cus they were having some kind of gothic-tecno night that wasn't very fun to dance with. Of course, the two tecno dance floors we avoided like the plague!

What we did agree with Berni is that before I go to Idaho, we are going to a Kitsch party. There wasn't a Kitsch dance floor last night and that sucked. I have an irrational love for "Kitsch" music. Mostly because it goes from pop to '80s and '90s rock to old wave and new wave and even some salsa! and some crack music that it's just plain funny. It's dancing with every song that you have ever listened in the past, because, really, the only thing Kitsch doesn't include is present music styles, but the moment they get old, oh, it's a lot more fun to dance to them!

Hum. Have I ever mention that I like to dance? a lot? no? Well, now you know.

Hi there,

Still here. Things went a little nuts here this few days. We've had quakes(replicas from the first big one). A classmate lost her ID and we had to go all over Lima doing paperwork. I'm starting to like the Peruvian pisco more than ours. I've meet a lot of nice people (and man, do the Colombians know how to dance!). And tomorrow I'm going to Cuzco!!

I've your mails with address' now so don't worry, you will get a postcard! And I'll send you all my address later so you can reply! I love postcards!

Postcards  
Ok, people. I want to send a LOT of postcards.

I'm having a blast here. The Peruvians are actually pretty nice to us, Is not too cold and not too hot, everything's cheap and yesterday guys went out of their way trying to get me drunk so I didn't spend a thing in beer (silly them, trying that with beer, please)

I didn't find your address' before coming here, so I need for ALL of you to write your respective address' to my mail so I can send you a postcard! Please let me do it! Go and write me right now, yeah?

Digi Digi... Mon Mon  
Por supuesto, justo tengo tiempo para hacer esto el día del cumpleaños de [info]lara_luna. Hace mucho tiempo que cualquier cosa relacionada con Digimon siempre acabo relacionándola con mi querida amiga.

Para los interesados, aquí están los tres mini dramas de Adventure. Sí, incluyendo el desquiciado drama sobre la carta de amor de Koushirou. Escuchar ese drama mientras uno lee la traducción es aún más hilarante que hacer ver las dos versiones por separado, inténtenlo, lo recomiendo!

Lamentablemente los otros dos dramas no tienen traducción. O al menos, yo no sé de una traducción. Si alguien se encuentra una, avise!

Read more... )

¿Y por qué es que estoy escribiendo esto en español? Lo consideré adecuado, porque estos mp3 son para mis amigos de habla hispana, aquellos que conocí escribiendo en ESPAÑOL. Entre ellos, sobresaliendo por ser aún once de agosto en Chile (queda una hora!), está Katia, a quien le escribí deseandole el mejor de los cumpleaños, pero por no estar totalmente segura que mi carta le llegará, lo repito aquí:

¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, AMIGA!

*Abrazo de Oso*

on the day in question... several days  
It's been a week since my birthday and I have not post anything about it. That's just wrong, because I had one of the best birthdays ever! It was three days long! The only thing I regret is not making enough time to spend on MSN to talk with my "virtual" friends.

I slept very little, I drank and ate like a pig, I watched FOUR movies with friends, I got to flirt with a cute guy (that now is annoying me by calling me every fucking day!) and I got to crash in my own bed! (I was sleeping on the couch 'cus my grandma took over my bedroom).

I went out on thursday with a classmate, her boyfriend and the cute guy (his friend). We went to a heavy metal pub in Plaza Brasil and I had a blast. The cute guy was really nine and we kinda clicked. An awful thing considering I had a busy week afterward and he-does-not-stop-calling!

On friday night Berni, Eduardo, Vesna and Cesar came to visit me and stayed 'til SIX AM. We talked about a lot of crap, just like always, I was a lot of fun.

On saturday I got enough text messages, phone calls, mails and LJ signs to make my day. I also had my family lunch (Chinese!). And then Nataly and Alejandra came to see me and we watched movies 'til we fell sleep.

On sunday Ale had to go, but Nataly went with my to watch the Ninja Turtles movie. Witch was AWESOME!! But that's something to talk about in another post.

All in all, a great weekend and a great birthday.
