My new year's resolutions. I'm going to try to keep them this year. I don't even remember the ones I had last year. They also weren't specific enough so I didn't know if I completed them or not.

1.Greet teachers and other people even if I don't have class with them anymore.
And if I can't do that, just smile and wave. (I'm kinda shy)

2.Do my homework

3.Exercise more

4.Stop limiting myself by saying "I can't"

I can't think of much right now, I'll write more later.

Let's sing of our love to the sky.

I think I like these two guys and they are both named Michael. I'm not sure if I like them but i think they are cute and sweet guys. They are into the same things I am. But I barely talk to them. I don't think that they'll even remember who I am. They'll just think of me as someone they've seen around or as my brother's sister. I messaged one of them randomly and anonymously on facebook about a show that both of us like. I feel like a stalker.

I got a cellphone! (Finally) It's a Nokia 3500 Classic. It has a good camera. I finally got a phone. All my friends already have one. It'll come in handy once the school year starts. There were so many things that would have been better if i had a cellphone before (like meeting friends). It's black with a bit of blue highlights (for the navigation key and the keys backlight). I really like my phone!
But the stupid thing is that when I got my phone, the brother I don't really like got a cellphone too! He bought it right after i bought mine (He came with me with my other brothers to help me choose a phone). He is such a follower. If I didn't buy a phone, he wouldn't have!

I finished my first day of work last week, but I'm writing about it now. It's my first job ever. It's only a summer job, though. I'm still waiting for them to call me; they said they would. I had to call them.. I left a message but they still haven't replied. They are so unorganized and unreliable. Anyways, I was so tired and my feet and legs hurt after almost 8 hours of standing. It wasn't fun because I was by myself, too. I also had some trouble calculating the money (I sell food at a cart). I got sunburned a bit because i forgot to apply sunscreeen on neck--it hurt. When my shift was almost over, in the evening, I became a little chilly because of the cold wind near the lake. I'm making minimum wage. I'm not really looking forward to my next day of work.

This morning I got my first bicycle ever! Before, my parents wouldn't buy bikes for us but ever since my brother borrowed a bike from his friend, my parents decided that we need our own bikes. My bike is blue (my favourite colour), 21-speed, and a hybrid bike. It's also pretty light because of the thin tires. It's not as light as a racing bike, though. But I could carry it up the stairs without help. I really like my bike.

No more classes for the year! Classes ended yesterday. I finished all my ISUs! My first exam is tomorrow. My other 2 exams are on Tuesday. It doesn't feel like summer... It didn't seem like the last days of school. I want to watch more Zettai Kareshi, I'm on ep.7. I'm going to miss some people, hope they're in my classes next year.

*sigh*...I have so much things i have to get done, since exams and the end of the school year is coming. I have to finish my ISUs for English and Media studies. I have to practise my speech. I have to study a little. I need to finish my homework. I have to help people with things...
Busy..

Why does it seem like i copy everyone? I don't do it on purpose though, it just happens. Ideas, objects (while drawing), gestures...I have no originality!
But...we all learned from imitating and copying others when we were little. Is it a bad thing?

I watched the 1 litre of tears special episode on the internet. One part actually made me cry a bit even though i watched the same scene before without crying, maybe it's cuz all the scenes with Asou and Aya were showed all in a row. The part that made me cry was when he goes see her a year after she told him that they shouldn't see each other anymore cuz he reminded her of the things she can't do anymore (walk, talk normally,etc.). He told her, "No matter how long it takes for you to talk, I'll still listen. If you can't call anymore, I'll come here like I am now. I like you..maybe. I think I like you...probably."

I joined Jpopasia because i wanted to edit some lyrics. I really like Japanese songs. My Mp3 player is almost all Japanese songs (except for 2 chinese, 2 korean songs and 1 english). It is because of Japanese songs and TV shows that I want to learn how to speak, understand and write Japanese. I want to visit Japan some day. I want to see a Kobukuro concert in real life. Kobukuro's awesome, especially Kobuchi. He sings, writes and composes songs, and plays some instruments (mostly guitar). All very well. The other guy ("Kobukuro's tall one" ) only sings (well, he does compose songs sometimes, maybe 1 or 2 in an album).
Ok, I went from talking about why i joined to raving about Kobukuro, my favourite band of all time. They're so awesome!

Yesterday, I watched a bunch of videos on the internet. Mostly Kobukuro, I've been trying to find more videos of them singing with other artists. I really like them singing with ayaka. They sing so great together.
Listening and singing Kobukuro songs makes me feel better when i need it.
