30 Day Challenge: Day 02

day 02 → your favourite movie

Well, I can't really decide on that....(I barely watch movies :P) But if you're asking about movies in general, then....I guess....Mulan? I haven't watched too many movies, but I remember loving that movie when I was a child...(I like Asian dramas, but all those are shows, so...:P)
Alright then....favourite movie: Mulan!
Well, day 02 is done....

Side Note: I remember reading the short version of this as a Chinese story (Poem-like)....*~^-^~* The picture is so Asian :P Also, I'm still listening to my Top 25 Most Played on iTunes :P...I'm currently listening to it for the 3rd time, on number 13 XD

*New Beginnings*

Note: if you're wondering what the picture is...it's a rose made of music sheets! So cool! I love this...hee hee...anyways, onto the actual post...(Such a long post....^^; )

I've been thinking...(Yes, another post...:P I'm feeling talkative....blame the white sugar rose I ate from Miss Havisham's bridal cake (If you don't know what this is....it's a Great Expectations thing....:P...you know, that book by Charles Dickens? Yeah...just read that for English :P Google doesn't accept 'Havisham' as a word :P)...this year hasn't been the greatest...(I should add that this is a pretty, ehh....'light' way to put it, eh heh...anyways, I decided to change a few things around here! When I say 'here', I mean the blog :P

A lot has happened this year....(I know how little of the year has actually passed, though it has passed quickly...), some which are good, others...not so much. (I'm sure you all know what I mean. If you don't....well, then...)

Anyways, I'm going to type in a bunch of songs lyrics and stuff like that! (Food for Thought...) I wonder if you recognize any of the lyrics? (I'll put the song name after the song lyrics, no worries...:P...it's not going to be a total guessing game...unless you want it to be?) Alright, here we go!

"Everyone wants to be happy, no wants pain, but you can't have a rainbow without any rain." (Not a song lyrics, by the way, but I love this quote!) (Not all these songs are on my iTunes, and you may not like all the songs, but I like certain parts of the lyrics, so...) (This is going to be long....sorry about that!)

"Every one can tell you how
When it's all said and done
(Oh woah oh)
And harder times will change your mind
And make you want to run
But you want it
And you need it
Like you need to breath the air
If they doubt you
Just believe it
That's enough to get you there" (Make It Shine-Victoria Justice)

"Memories are always beautiful
In the eyes of everyone...
We can look back on the past
Because we passed there
We stopped and stepped forward again...
We got hurt
Even lost sight of light
And gave up more than once
But still we are here
Now, let's stand up without fear
For the sake of no one else" (Translated from Japanese to English: Marionette-Ayumi Hamasaki)

"You and I. Neither speaking or seeing eachother...
I'll keep these feelings in my heart
Because you're gone now...
Still memories flash back!...
I can no longer say 'You and I'" (Translated from japanese to English: Sands Of Time-BACK-ON)

"Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place...
As I look the other way" (The Diary Of Jane-Breaking Benjamin)

"Did you forget everything we ever had?...
But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong...
So now I guess this is where we have to stand...
And all the past is just a lesson that we've learned." (Don't Forget-Demi Lovato)

"In the season, the month of April, the song written on the sand vanishes.
At the bottom it is a dark and endless tomorrow.
To meet, to say goodbye under the blue sky...
What is love if it just drifts away and it's gone?...
The weight of sadness more than the weight of the pain.
The spring when I looked for you the sand of the sea disappears."(Translated from Japanese to English: Saiyo/Sajou no Uta-Dir en Grey)

"The people ask me how,
How I've lived 'till now.
I tell them I don't know.
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been.
But life began again...
And yes, I know how lonely life can be.
The shadows follow me, and the night won't set me free...
You set my spirit free.
I'm happy that you do...
The book of life is brief
And once a page is read,
All but love is dead.
That is my belief." (And I Love You So-Don McLean)

"Have you ever been lonely
Lost and paralyzed
Trynna find a way out
But no one hears your cries
Have you ever been stranded
No strength to carry on
This is my reality...
Things haven't been the same
I turned left when I shoulda turned right
And now I'm gone lost in the night...
So come and rescue me...
It's cold and it's empty
Just trying to exist
When I all I have is memories
Of everything I miss...
Show me a sign 'cause I'm drowning inside" (S.O.S-Elise Estrada)

"Life in the fast lane
Fake name to try to fit in
And there's no shame
You'll change for any occasion
It's a tough pill to swallow
When you swim with the shallow
You're just another pretty face...
Blinded by the lights...
But what goes up must come down...
All that glitters ain't gold
Dreams are made not sold
This place can be cold
It's time to go home." (You're So Hollywood-Elise Estrada)

"...I've gotta put my game face on...
Until all the tears are gone
I've gotta paint all the pain away
Make like - I’m ok
Pretend I don’t wanna stay
Act like this ain't killing me...
I gotta pretend that this is what I wanna do...
Gotta play the part act like it ain't killing me...
I’m sick of looking in the mirror
Cause my mirror sees right through...
I've gotta cover up my hurt
No more-getting burnt...
It’s the hardest role I’ll ever have to play
It’s the hardest lie I’ll ever have to make
To look you in the eye
And not break down and cry
When I say goodbye...
Hide what's written on my face" (Lipstick-Elise Estrada)

"Along with the painful things-Almost to the point of forgetting-
I'm thinking of you...
Anxiety grows in my chest...
Collecting different types of loneliness; please don't cry alone
No matter how far apart we are, let's go on believing in each other
I want to remain smiling like this somehow
Without hurting you
Those emotions that had faded away with time,
I don't want to feel them again...
I will walk together, the future not promised
It keeps walking together, to future in which you are..." (Translated from Japanese to English: Cassis-The GazettE)

"The little freedom which I know
All which I should keep
It may be lost someday
Anyone is the same...
Let's deliver nonfiction
A song like misfortune pride...
The only means to prove oneself...
Nothing is different from you
Look as one human being...
The little freedom which I know
The dream which I should keep
It may be lost someday...
No one can be saved with a lie...
To ascertain each other's wound...
In the middle of chaos
The only means to prove oneself" (Translated from Japanese to English: IN THE MIDDLE OF CHAOS-The GazettE) (By the way, there are no caps problems...it's just like that :P)

"Stealing never ends sadness, if you have a conscience.
Here it goes away, Along with your heart...
In any form ask that tommorrow returns.
Shake off the feeling of confusion from believing...
I have no words to fill the immensity of the distance.
I also knew it would in due time disappear.
Every day you said "I can't help but remember..."...
Even in dreams you're alone..." (Translated from Japanese to English: Shiver-The GazettE)

"The rain that began to fall dissolves into the dry asphalt,
in the chill I wrap these hands mingling with a slight heat...
The rain that began to fall put the scent of soil on the wind,
my face reflects in a tepidly gathering puddle
Is it fine this way? Although there’s only one answer,
this is the conclusion that my gave rise to my worries, so please don’t ask me anymore...
If I blame myself will my feelings become a little easier?
You see, I’m always just playing the victim
Even if we walk and smile at one another, glossing things over,
the rain washes everything away,
The day you announced our separation, in truth I was crying
Dissolve this lie of a smile
Continuing to hesitate, continuing to worry,
I think I can become stronger
Continuing to hesitate, continuing to worry,
so until the day I can smile at such days
Continuing to hesitate, continuing to worry,
I think I can become stronger
Continuing to hesitate, continuing to worry,
so until the day I can smile at such days" (Translated from Japanese to English: Crying Rain-Girugamesh) (Just realized that's almost the whole song :P)

"We started to walk calmly and determinedly
With the same scar in our hearts
With our backs to each other
Without looking back
We believed
We found out one unchanged thing
But we felt it was changing
And took a step back
Yet another step back afterwards
So as not to be hurt
I wanted to say "Thank you"
I couldn't say "Thank you"
Because it's like "Good-bye for ever"
And too sad
Maybe I shall be born again to myself some day
And start a journey to seek for you
One day
When I happened to be puzzled a little
By a new and unfamiliar view
Which I must have chosen
The gentle wind just like you
Blew by me
I wanted to say "I love you"
I couldn't say "I love you"
But I feel it was both my biggest lie
And the truth
Even if I'm born again to someone else
I'll start a journey to seek for you" (Translated from Japanese to English: Together When...-Ayumi Hamasaki) (Yeah...the whole song...XD...Opps...:P)

"In the time that we were moving on,
Didn’t we meet by fate? You and I
I keep this overflowing feeling warm,
So it won’t disappear
In the glistening future,
I want to be together with you.
Brand New Breeze~.
I never felt this feeling before...
To catch me, and to show me your smile....
Both today and tomorrow,
I can keep on going...
The tale begins now
Just for us~.
And I won’t let it end for forever…" (Translated from Japanese To English: Brand New Breeze-Kanon)

"Twelve of them shining bright in vain like flowers that blossom just once in years
They're dancing in the shadow like whispers of love just dreaming of a place where they're free as dove
They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage
It's only the fairy tale they believe..." (It's Only The Fairytale-Miyamura Yuuko Composed by: Yuki Kajiura)

"Hi Miss Alice
With your glass eyes
What kind of dream
Can you see?
Are you fascinated with?
Still
My heart tears
And drifts
Stuck in the patched crevices
Are memories...
To whom does love
Is cast away?
Is lamented?
Already
I spin my words...
The song to love
Can't be sung either" (Translated from Japanese to English: Still Doll-Kanon Wakeshima)

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in
Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine...
Come on show 'em what you're worth...
As you shoot across the sky...
Come on let your colors burst...
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know...
Even brighter than the moon
It's always been inside of you
And now it's time to let it through...
You're going to leave them all in awe." (Firework-Katy Perry)

"Knocked down unappreciated
Day is losing grip on the light
And everywhere I turn there is night
Locked out and confused I waited
I saw but never opend my eyes
Alone together blinded by lies
And I could never get through...
If I give you the world would it be enough for you
Not for you
If I tore out my heart and my mind and wrapped them nicely
I can deal with the hurt and the blame
But not for you...
And I don't wanna stay...
Imposing to be real when she's fake
And I could never reach you" (Not For You-Kylee) (A song in English, after all the Japanese songs :P)

That's not all, but there might be a bit too much (already), so...:P Maybe next time? XD Maybe you'll need time to get through these...XD

Anyways, see you next post....

*~^-^~*

My 5-Point Star

Side Note Before I Begin: Wow...that last post was longer than I expected...good thing I separated it into paragraphs! Anyways...onto the post, and the actual topic!

Anyways, about my 5-Point Star:
*Every month, for the next 5 months, I'm going to choose 3+ different topics (At random, mostly....there may be an obvious reason/connection, but there may not be...)
*Using the 3+ topics I've chosen, I'm going to create one of the following: (**Insert sigh because Blogspot won't let me 'tab'/indent it....**)
*A short story (And this time, I will try my best not to make it too long...)
*A short poem
*A random post (Basically, if I get a new/better idea, then....yeah...)

Ex: January's (Which has past...) topics might be: White demon, garnet, Capricorn, hot chocolate (This is a good example of topics which pretty much have no (obvious) relation in any way with eachother...I mean, how are white demons and hot chocolate related to eachother?) And I might, for these topics, create a story about a hot chocolate loving white demon who is on a quest to find a magical Garnet to save a Capricorn. Random (Thought of it off of the top of my head :P), but it works! Usually, though, expect birthstones or astrological signs as a topic....I might get stuck on topics :P
Ex: (This one is more obvious :P) February's topics might be: Mage, Roses, Chocolate, Valentines, Love, Amethyst, heart (This has a more obvious relation....Valentine's Day!) I might write a poem about a mage's love, involving roses, chocolate, valentines, love, amethysts, who loves someone with all his heart. (That sounds so lame and cheesy...XD....again, off the top of my head...)

Anyways, if you still don't get it, well then...read those over and over again until you do! XD
(Okay, Taylor Swift just came onto my iTunes a couple seconds ago (Back to December :P)...hmmm...I wonder if that's where the lame and cheesy poem idea came from?)

Anyways...I'll think of something for March! See you soon! :P

Note: I just realized how cool the white background for my star charm looks....hmm....XD

It's Been So Long Since I've Posted @_@

OK, well...in one word, I've been:
*Busy*
Super busy @_@
On the brighter side, I've been going super manga crazy! (Otaku!) If you don't understand why that's a good thing, you'll need to look on the Otaku side of things :P (If you don't know what an Otaku is, I have two suggestions for you: a) Go read some manga or something b) Look it up XD) Some of the manga I can't stop reading:
*Vampire Knight (Love that manga!!! Listening to 'I Have A Dream' from the Vampire Knight OST right now...^-^~)
*Ouran High School Host Club (It's starting to get really good! And it has a nice dose of comedy...hee hee...)
*La Corda D'Oro (Started watching the anime like, 2 or so months ago...I love it!)
*The Wallflower (This book is actually really good...hee hee...)
*And many others...(Basically: Too many to list XD)

Anyways, I've been super bored, lately....there's been, well...everything?
I've decided one thing, though:
I WANT TO LEARN VIOLIN!!!
Also, if you're wondering about the piano keyboard in the picture...
Piano's been a huge part of my life lately (If you count out homework...and stress....and you know, the usual...)
How? Well....
(Besides the piano exam I just had in January @_@)
I've been learning a lot of new songs and things like that! It's been nice...^-^~
Anyways, after this huge snow storm(ish) day, I realized how much I miss my old friend :( (I see some of them sometimes....kind of...)
I hope I get to see them soon...
Anyways...I'm counting down the months to summer...which will be all volunteer-hour crazy for me @_@. Hopefully, I'll find time to hang out with friends, relax, and essentially....be lazy and get to do all the stuff school makes me too busy to do! XD

To count down the days to summer, I'm making a 5-point star for myself! (Why do I mention 5-point when we all know that obviously stars are 5 points? For starters, there are such things as 6, 7, etc. point stars, they're just not the first thing to come into our minds when we think of 'star', AND because there are 4 months left until summer! And since I'm probably going to spend July doing volunteer hours, there are essentially, 5 months until I can finally relax!

I've been going through my iTunes lately...re-listening to songs I haven't heard for a while ^-^~(I finally have around 250 songs on my new iTunes, bringing my total song count to AT LEAST 550! ^-^~)

Ahh....so much to say...okay, I'm going to continue on another post! (Ahahahahahahaha...)
^-^~

And in case you ever need a quote to make yourself sound amazing: (Because who doesn't want to sound amazing? ;) ) It's also good food for thought...hee hee...enjoy! (And since we're starting to talk about Shakespeare in English....)

"Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself. -William Shakespeare"

This has been an "Always Deep Words: Happenings At Heart" quote of the day.
Brought to you by: "Honesty Quotes and Sayings from Quotes N' Sayings"
Note: if you think the 'mine honor' is a mistake. It's not. The quote is actually like that. I googled it to make sure :P...

What I've been up to...

Above: A pic from one of my favourite Alice Nine songs! RAINBOWS!

Ok, the next few posts are going to include pics and stuff from my computer! Just random stuff...for fun....just so you can see what's been up lately! I would've included pics of some other stuff, but this image posting thing won't let me post anything unless it's mine...well, most of anything, at least...Oh, also...in case you didn't notice:

I have changed a few things around...look for:
*NEW THEME!
*I've moved my Blog Archive(It didn't fit where it was before...)
*I've changed my "About Me!" (It's under the "Followers")
*I've added a few new links...^-^ (See beside my "About Me!")

Look for more changes coming soon! (I hope...^-^)

And about the Quote Of The Days I used to do before...I can't do it every time I put up a new post anymore....the website where I pick quote from glitches sometimes...-__-" I apologize to those who really liked those! I'll hope to put up a few more soon when it works!

I'm stuck...

RANDOM PICTURE! XD

So, I've been thinking of some of the stuff I want to post in the future....as a special post! You'll see what it is soon ;) Anyways, so, I'm putting up a poll(Look to your right! Top of the page...)for you guys to vote on! I'll add a few general options(Or there'd be too much...) Any specifics will have to be either through request(Comments, whatever...)or my decision...^-^ Anyways, enjoy the future posts! And look forward for the special posts coming soon! ^-^ (If you're wondering what this picture is, see the comment...I don't know why I put it up....random urge?)

POSTING! AND SUMMER! AND STUFF!

Above is the chibi of The GazettE I drew! Read more to see the details of this...ha ha...~~~

GET READY FOR A LONG POST! ^-^ (It was longer than I thought it would be...^^;

Opps...well, it looks like I haven't posted in a while.....guess it slipped my mind, ha ha...^^; Anyways, some stuff I've been up to:
*Reading manga LIKE CRAZY (Want to re-read my FAVOURITE series before school starts, and one of my manga reading sites were shut down, so I was trying to finish as much of these 3 series I was reading as possible, ha ha...)
*Watching Asian dramas LIKE CRAZY (listening to one of the drama ones..."Both Hands-Loveholic" XD) (Just finished 2, and I have another one to watch already, ha ha...)
*Downloading music and pictures (My new computer had NO pictures or music on it, so I downloaded a lot....I only have like, 30 songs, but I'm waiting to buy disks and a new monitor so I can save my pics and music from my old computer and put them on my new computer!) Most of the music I've downloaded has been from Asian dramas (The 3 or 4 I've finished this summer...)and most of the pictures I have are of my 3 favourite J-Rock bands...also, I finally got my camera phone to upload(My 2nd try on this computer, like, 5th try in total...) So, yay! (I put up and tagged some funny and wierd photos on Facebook....I can't believe some of the comments I got...)
*Hanging out with some friends (I never got the chance to hang out with some of my friends from school, but I hung out with two of my close friends, because our moms knew each other and always went to the mall together ^-^ yay!)
*Going to new/fun places and doing new things...to be more specific:
*Niagara Falls
*Marineland(In Niagara Falls) I went on a smaller roller coaster there...and some other rides...(I don't go on the big ones because I have a fear of heights and motion sickness...^^;...not a good combo for going on roller coasters...ha ha...) I took some beautiful pictures there too! My brother went on the Skyscreamer and this HUGE coaster there too! I heard the screams of the Skyscreamer from the bottom of the mountain...^^;
*Attempted to teach my cousins English (That was a lot harder than I thought it would be...both were kind of reluctant and not very willing...)
*Went to this street of shops and stuff and went into a bunch of different new stores! (I LOVED this shop full f clothes that these people designed themselves...IT WAS AWESOME!)
*Drew a chibi of The GazettE (J-Rock band) for my friend (Based on a drawing this person did....thank you awesome person for making my job drawing the chibi easer!)
*ETC.

I also did some of my usual too...
*Slept :P
*Ate
*Drew(Drawing) comic(s)
*Spent money
*Etc.

I bought a lot of new stuff for school too! Even a new backpack! (Messenger bag, that is...) I'm kind fo excited for school, but still wished that summer lasted longer...I'll post up some pics that I downloaded or something sometime! But for now, I gotta go...not only is it my brother's turn (Sorry! The post was longer than I thought...^^; ) but I'm hungry too....see you soon! ^-^
