12:39 pm - /rant!
|
So my mom managed to destroy yet another pot. I don't know how she does it, but every single time she attempts to heat anything up, she burns the pot. Basically, what she does is light the fire and then IGNORE it, and hopefully someone will come along to turn the fire off. Since my dad was out of the house and I was in my room (not knowing that she was lighting fires, WHY?!!!) the pot burned. I rushed out too late when the burning smell and smoke flooded the place. We had to throw the pot away. T_T
Of course, my mom refuses to take responsibility for any of this, blaming my dad for not being in the house to take care of it. I'm so fuming mad now. I tell her she has to stop leaving pots unwatched, because its DANGEROUS to have fires unattended, but she just yells at my poor dad instead. *tears at hair*

1:55 pm - Stressed
|
Urgh day is not shaping up well. Put my umbrella out to dry yesterday and my dad had apparently kept it without giving it back to me. Since it was blazing and sunny, I didn't think of the umbrella until half way there, when the sky started clouding over into darkness. Of course because the weather hates me, it started to pour just as I got to the bus stop outside my office. Which meant I had to hail a taxi just to get from the busstop to the office - basically a 5 minute trek uphill, but impossible to do in the rain because I don't want to get drenched and go into a freezing air-conditioned office. I'd get sick that's for sure. But grrr such a waste of money.
I'm so stressed, pimples are popping up all over my chin and jawline. Its become one of those days when I don't even want to go out and have anyone look at me. And now I have to go make nice to people on one of the busiest news days of the year. $&#^@% the APEC summit. T_T

9:21 am - Like I need more distractions...
|
I'm starting to think that I need to save up to buy Dragon Age: Origins. Want the PC version because it looks like my machine can handle it. (Or alternatively beg someone to get it for me Xmas though I'm not gonna hold my breath ~_~).
I used to be such a huge fan of Baldur's Gate (though I never played Neverwinter Nights) and it looks pretty similar in terms of combat. Party of 4 and spells flashing and all. Looks absolutely amazing. Nice thing is that its also available on the PS3 and Xbox360. Yay for a proper multiplatform game! Bioware rocks.
I think I'm most amused in that you can engage in gay relationships for your characters. Rock on dudes! Gimme my hot elf smut now.
In other news, I've been massively shopping for makeup this weekend. Bought a gorgeous Chanel Joues Contraste: blush in Fresque colour that's just so beautiful it makes me feel so girly and pretty. Like that picture and review in that link shows, its peaches and cream on your cheeks. Utterly divine.
Also got a Dior lipgloss that's a beautiful shade of pink (Rouge Dior Creme de Gloss 485) and a Shu Uemura eye shadow (IR 350) that I can't wait to play with. Also a Lancome L'Extreme mascara set that's very good value because it comes with a small bottle of Bi-Facil. It's the holiday season and I thoroughly believe in decorating. XD XD
Having a bad outbreak of cystic pimples on my chin though, so I'm laying off putting too much product there at the moment. I think its hormonal. But why is it that all my acne treatments merely dry the skin out so it ends up flaking but leaves the pimple still huge and red in the middle of the flakey mess? But I moisturize!

2:32 pm - Lol, the internet hits 40
|
So I read an article today about how on October 29, 1969, apparently the internet was born. The first "internet communication" was a computer at UCLA trying to talk to another at a research institute. But when the UCLA dudes tried to type "LOG" their computer crashed at "O" so the very first word that was sent on the internet was "lo", as in "lo and behold".
What struck me as funny is how things don't change. 40 years later, computers are STILL randomly crashing. XD XD

5:21 pm - Hopeless sister
|
I really can't figure my sister out. She calls me today and literally talks my ear off for half an hour, complaining about how ill she is (she had a gastric attack) and I'm like... "why do you stress yourself out over your dog and your daughter when they don't NEED to be stressed out over?" Apparently she has to fetch her daughter everywhere even if she's ill, the girl refuses to go by herself to school, and she's 15!
I told her that there are people who actually spend an hour and a half travelling to and from work/school (this is me, all my life!) and its not going to kill her to do it once in a while. The train system in this country is fantastic, you can pretty much go anywhere and then take a bus from the nearest station (if necessary) to any destination. There's no reason why she can't travel via public transport at all.
In the end, I told her that if she keeled over, her daughter was going to have to manage for herself anyway because nobody was going to chauffeur her around so better take care of her own health first. *rolls eyes*
Anyway, my parents say my sister is a bit mental but of course she won't really get help to calm herself down, so there's little we can do. *sigh*

8:39 pm - I'm good!
|
So there was an earthquake at about 6ish today. As I sat there feeling my room shake (two times) I knew it was fairly strong. I was starting a 25man Vault of Acheron raid at the time, and I was like going "omg there's an earthquake". Going by the feel, I told them it has to be 7 to 8 magnitude, at least. Because from past experience, my room only shakes that way when its that strong.
And I totally guessed it right. It was 7.9 magnitude.
I am better than a richter scale XD XD.

11:46 am - The Last Remnant and double dipping
|
Okay, I admit to failing at finishing games but months and months ago, I bought The Last Remnant for the Xbox360 when it first came out. I enjoyed it so much but never finished, because I got distracted by Tales of Vesperia and then Star Ocean: The Last Hope. So now months later, I finally caved and bought the PC version. Now I feel a bit silly buying 2 versions of the same game but I really wanted to be able to use all 25 captains that you get instead of just 6 for the 360 version.
Some thoughts on the PC version:
Hearing everyone in their original Japanese is very nice, but I realized that the english translation was actually pretty good, in that the translation made the game so much fun. I mean Rush saying "This is Ace" doesn't really hold the same meaning as "Arigato" for me, if nothing else for the absolute hilarity of it. Plus I found it endearing that Rush calls David, "Dave" in english, while the Japanese version doesn't seem to play on that at all, either that or I can't really tell the difference in the way everyone says "Davito". And I actually like David's english VA far more than his Japanese VA who sounds terribly bland. David's english VA made the role really distinctive.
Randomly, I can't stop giggling when I come across little parts of the game that are just so incredibly slashy. Like there was one part where David promised to help Rush, and Rush goes "Thanks" and does this HIP THRUST at David. And I'm like... OTP! *squee*
So any of you guys actually find yourselves buying the same game on different platforms? (Please make me feel better about paying for the same game twice!)

3:23 pm - 07-Ghost last ep ramblings
|
So being the super fangirl, I watched the last ep of 07-Ghost raw and had no clue about what was going on. Nevertheless I was fansubbing it with wacky subs in my head.
An example: When Ayanami was on the bridge of his ship and he's talking to Hyuuga, after his unsuccessful encounter with Teito and Hyuuga's answering back to him, and I'm thinking, I bet Hyuuga's saying "I knew he wasn't going to go for a threesome, Aya-tan." *chortles*
*pokes ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) rhole* Sub this ep for me nao!

8:36 pm - Pissed off
|
Feeling very pissed off by my mom, who ascended to new levels of annoying today by opening my mail. I resent my privacy being invaded like this especially since it was a mail from my insurance carrier about my health insurance. I had bought an extra rider because I want to be covered in case I ever go to the hospital, but I didn't want my mom to know this, because she likes to nag at me about "wasting money" on buying insurance that I'm not going to collect on because I'm young and healthy and also covered by my company (its partial!). But its my decision and my money and damn her for opening my mail and I don't feel like I should need to justify how I spend my money to her. And for Christ's sake, its MY MAIL!
In fandom news, I'm sort of writing more 07-Ghost fic but its going slow. We'll see if I have anything to post in a week or two.

9:55 pm - Beauty Blogging
|
A bit more beauty blogging today.
Was having a terrible breakout of acne on my body - mostly from the jawline, down the neck, across the chest area and the shoulders + upper back. Very terrible. To the extent that I can't wear any clothes with low necklines at all. So I went in search of some more natural remedies since Benzoyl Peroxide simply wasn't working for me at all.
Ended up deciding to try two things. First was honey. Lots of people saying honey had natural anti-bacterials so I spread some on myself before my bath, sat around for 20 mins and played Devil Survivor. ^__^ It feels nice but was really messy because it started to melt and drip. Also felt like I was marinating myself for a BBQ or something, LOL. Well one pimple that was pus-y on the face kinda became not!pus-y but stayed red. The ones on the chest, back and neck are all still there, however, though it might be my imagination that they're possibly a bit smaller. Not sure. Maybe needs a few more days of application.
Then I read about the supposed wonders of sea salt. Apparently is good for clearing up body acne. Since I was desperate, I went on a hunt for some. Now it might be an easily acquired item to get in western countries, but oh lord, sea salt is HARD to get a hold of here. I went to three supermarkets before finally finding a super-over-priced box for $9 for 250g.
Anyway trying it out now, will blog in a few days about whether its effective or not.

5:31 pm - Headachey
|
Feeling a bit headachey today. Could be heat induced, or from the incredibly salty MSG-laden noodles I had for lunch, or me accidentally spurting some strong perfume on myself, or the varnish smell in my office from the renovations.
Or it could be from me reading yaoi manga for 5 hours last night. (I suspect this is the reason T_T) After spending all that time reading, I came to the conclusion that healing sex is BIG in yaoiland. There were at least 3 stories where uke falls sick, has a fever and sniffles, is collapsed on the bed, when seme comes and sexes the illness out of him. The next day, uke is magically cured! Liek whoa!

Randomly surfing around for beauty tips and found this weird youtube video about using kitty litter as your face mask. O.o
I really like her warning about not using "used" kitty litter. I guess nobody needs to have that explained, right? LOL
Been going a bit crazy on trying out nail polish lately. I bought a couple of bottles of OPI and while I like that a lot, I noticed that it had a tendency to bubble. Might have been my fault using a shaken bottle. Should have just rolled it. Love the burgandy shade that I got but it was a bit too dark, so I went out and got a bottle of the Dior Vernis Red Dahlia in a lighter fushia shade. The CD Red Dahlia spreads beautifully and is so very very pretty, but damn, it chipped after just 2 days. OPI lasts for a week if the top coat is good.
What I do have to recommend for Dior is the top coat. It really feels so silky and looks so glossy. I've been using the Sally Hansen Diamond Megashine Top Coat and that works well but its not as silky feeling as the Dior one. But at less than half the price, the Sally Hansen one is probably the better deal. Oh yes, don't buy the Double-duty Base and Top coat that Sally Hansen sells because that one simply fails big time at being a top coat. I got sheet prints even after trying to let it dry for 3 hours before going to sleep.

11:14 am - Dissidia
|
Despite my best intentions to write fic, I was eaten by Dissidia. Enough that I now have a callous on my left thumb. I love all these gravity defying stunts, running up walls/pillars, flying around in mid-air and then clashing swords at my opponent, dodging Firaga (or rather not dodging!) etc. It's like I'm starring in Advent Children, seriously.
The unfortunate thing is that I take 10 tries to complete every boss battle. Yes I suck. But despite having my ass kicked, I'm loving it. Me <== surprisingly masochist. But to quote a gamer on the neogaf forums, "A sign of a good game is after getting royally owned you still are having fun." Yep, that's me.
But man, the first time I defeated Sephiroth... I totally SQUEED.

9:14 pm - Yet another game I'm going to fail at finishing
|
So after seeing half my f-list gush over Dissidia... I rushed out and joined the crowd and bought a copy for myself! Except that I have NO CLUE what the heck I'm doing except madly mashing the O and square button and occasionally trying to pull off an "ex-mode" whatever the heck that is. But it's awfully pretty and seeing the characters make me squee. I'm also kinda pleased that the english voice acting doesn't make me cringe. Big selling point: those Chaos dudes are hot. *sizzle*
I suspect though, that this is going to join the many other Square-enix games that I have failed to finish. *hides*

3:02 pm - Pwned the itch
|
Feeling much better for the first time in 3 weeks. It's such a relief for the rashes to finally fade into scars and the itching that's been driving me insane 24-7 to dull enough that I can ignore. Yay for new cream (which supposedly contains steriods) but at least its working! 3 days of application and I feel so much better. XD XD
Haven't been writing much lately. It's all WoW's fault. I set myself the goal of getting some T9 gear and the Ulduar crafted belt, which mean lots of heroics running. T_T. Also wanted to get to exalted with the Sons of Hodir (yes yes, I've been lazy) and I'm pretty much halfway through revered so that should be done soon. But even just doing dailies takes me 2-3 hours. *gasp* Only good thing is that I'm herbing up masses of Lichbloom and Icethorn, enough that I'm vending it for some decent gold on the AH.
But my Aya muse is wanting some attention, so I should be going back to writing for 07-Ghost. I have new evil plot bunny (involving Hyuuga, but when does it not involve Hyuuga when its an evil plot bunny?) and Verloren's Quest chapter 6 is only half done and I should finish that. However, Mikage!muse is refusing to die and giving me lots of trouble with this chapter. *sigh*

3:55 pm - Status update
|
Been playing a lot of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. I'd been staying away from SRPGs for a while because of the utter fail I'd been over Disgaea and Final Fantasy Tactics (PSP) so this one catching my attention was a surprise. All I can say is that its very good. I love fighting all over the various locations of Tokyo, it makes me feel like I'm really in the city again. *misses Tokyo* The characters are all gorgeous too, so its nice eye candy.
Also watched ep 19 of 07-Ghost which was surprisingly good. Lots of Black Hawks action, but still a lot of mysterious things said that I could not understand. *grumbles* I feel stupid that I'm really not getting the weird things Fest was saying to Ayanami. *pout* On a side note, I was really amused to read in the animation book that Aya-tan's 1.78 meters tall but only 57 kilogrammes. This makes the man officially anorexic. Seriously, no dude could be 5 ft 11" tall and weigh so little. My Hyuuga muse wants to stuff him with food now. ~_~
Weird bruises are still with me. Also skin irritation is very annoying. I'm trying to avoid clawing myself to pieces but its really hard. I have scabs and bruises everywhere now. *double ~_~*
And finally, one random point. Reading this fanfic and it absolutely threw me when the writer started talking about TWEWY Joshua's "pail body", until I figured that she meant pale. Seriously dudes, pail =/= pale, and the images that brought out of Joshua in my mind almost broke it.

4:46 pm - Side effects omg
|
Having some serious issues with all the medication that I was taking recently I think. I suspect I'm one of those few chosen ones who is allergic to Tamiflu because I'm breaking out in a bad rash. Also having weird bruises appear all over my body. I just wish this wasn't the national day weekend, which means I have no access to a doctor until Tuesday. Hope my condition can hold out till then. *sigh*
