HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHIL

mmm, went to Chinatown with my parents 'cause it's mother's day. I gave my Mum a cute ceramic lucky cat and said it was from my brother and I ^_^ Since David isn't here, he asked me to buy something on his behalf. Went down to the Hi-fi shop while I was there and bought myself a few CDs: MAX Precious collection 1995-2002, Do as Infinity's "Do the best" and M.net Music Video Fest (which is like MTV awards in Korea and I bought almost purely so that I could watch Shinhwa and Kangta perform live XD;; ). The store has quite a few korean CDs now, but not Baby VOX's new album. I want it =[ It contains 4 CDs, but only cost as much as a regular CD. And I haven't got any of their albums so it's worth it for me to get this one (being a "best" album, covering their whole singing career).

Mary: My hair is black again!
Mary: (withbluestreaksinthefront)
Mary: Black again =D
Phil: o_o
Phil: ...blue...streaks...
Mary: black......
Phil: black and blue...
Mary: with 2 blue streaks where the fringe arts
Mary: parts
Phil: ...kowaii-nya...
Phil: kekeke
Mary: kowakunai

it's also been cut like Hyesung's All your dreams hair ^^; Actually, 3 years ago, when I started uni I wanted to have blue streaks, but wasn't brave enough *_* Now I'm nearing completion of University and will be thrust out into the world to find a job. This year is my last chance to dye my hair strangely ^^; I don't figure interviewers will be particularly impressed when a candidate shows up with blue hair. It's not horribly bright or anything. If you're like 10 meters away you can't see it. i was tired of being blonde anyway. There are some pictures here. It was REALLY hard to make my crappy digicam show the blue parts. i had to shine a really stong light on myself O_<;

by the way, there are a couple of kids down on kengsinton road now who want their hair blue. They came chasing after me when i was walking the dog.

Gametraders began a big sale today. But no GBA games. Booooooo~ They had PS, PS2, N64, Dreamcast, blah. But nothing GBA. So sad ;_; After I heard about the sale last night I dreamt Tekken dreams.

A certain someone I know keeps telling me to grow my hair out and turn it black again. she said I should be feminine and quit cutting my hair in a boyish style or "people will think you're a lesbian". That's not true right? ^^; Being significantly older than me (10 years), she has a rather old fashioned view on many things. And for that reason I feel the need to do exactly the opposite to what she tells me. On Monday she said nailpolish should be pink. My nails are now metallic purple. The day she told me girls should only have one ear piercing I had the terrible urge to run out and pierce the top of one ear XD;;;; It's not that I don't like this person. I like her very much. She's fun to talk to. It's just that the more she tells me girls should act one way the more I want to do something else. I suppose I'm being spiteful. But that sounds meaner than it is. Hmmmmm, it's kind of like how I dislike pink almost purely because my father brough me up saying "pink is for girls and blue is for boys". If I asked him to buy me something like a pencil, he would buy a pink colored one.

That said...... I have a haircut this Saturday. It's time to cut my hair a lot shorter again.

They wanted me to read a book about venom this morning and I was so scared ._. It had many many big colored pictures of spiders and I'm really scared of them. I ended up flinging the book to the other side of the bench and waiting 10 minutes before I was brave enough to take another book and go near enough to cover it up @________@ I hate spiders so much!

And, and, and. now that I'm working downstairs there's no reason to walk past the front desk guy (stairs are right next to him) multiple times a day ;____; Boooo~

Bored, I'm bored, I'm bored @_@; There was nothing to do while I was waiting for workpile this morning, so I went downstairs to see if there was anything to do. When I got there...... they told me I wasn't going back to microbiology O_o; They just said "from now on you're down here". WTF?! Someone could have told me a little earlier. And when I went up to Micro to get my stuff, no one up there knew I had moved until I told them o_o; Downstairs is horribly horribly boring too T___T I want out. i am currently suffering from residual boredom built up throughout the workday. $&##($&# It's awful down there O_<; But maybe I'm talking too soon, seeing as I've only been there a day.

I forgot my lunch today too *tummy rumble* Haven't eaten anything, but one small apple all day. But now I'm past the point where I feel like eating. I reached about 3pm and suddenly didn't feel hungry anymore. I figure I'll just wait for dinner now.

Gah, gah, I can't get rid of this bored feeling.......

Hnnnn, ya. I finally got around to watching Anna and the King last night because it was on tellie. Hence the debate this afternoon in the lab reguarding whether Chow Yun Fat is any good for non-action roles. Pah, I thought he was wonderful as the king ^_^ No wonder Anna fell in love with hiiiiiiiiiiiiiim ^0^ But Nhu says he's seemed soft to be king of Siam in that movie T_T; She was telling me how the king must be fierce.

Anyway, i thought the movie was good, but not nearly as good as the original (the King and I [1956]). I can't count the number of times I've seen that one. It's one of my favourites and the music always remains with me for a long time. Yul Brynner was so wonderful as the king. "Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera and so forth."

Have managed to get my mits on Blackbeat's album and 5tion's first album. I had quite high expectations of Blackbeat, since I've read here and there that they're being toted at SM's replacement for H.O.T. But I'm disappointed. Their title song "In the Sky" is very pretty, except for the terrible English section ("Baby, I'm here to testify"?! i get images of TV evangelists in my head and it's not agreeable with me). That little bit pretty much ruins a very nice song for me, and I didn't think the rest of their album was particularly special =\ So sad.

5tion on the other hand have captured my attention very nicely. I adore their album ^_^ "More than Words" is an especially lovely song to listen to. So far, I love all the songs on their CD.

Hmmm, have been watching Alien 9 over the past few days. I'm only halfway through the series (it's a mere 4 episodes). I like the show, and the
character designs are cute. The music is very good too. Especially the end song. I want a borg too ^^; But I have to leave a large space of time between watching episodes because I HATE HATE HATE the main character (Otani Yuri). She is cute, but spends 90% of her airtime crying and saying "kowai" ("I'm scared") over and over and OVER. I want to throttle her every time I see her. I love the blond girl though (her name eludes me at the moment). She's so cute and energetic. And I end up saying "nya" all the time after watching because of her.

Have also begun watching Groove Adventure Rave. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah, it's cool, it's cool XDDD I want more *drools over the various bishies* I want a big-ass sword like Haru's! =D Rave stuff. I suddenly have an urge to gather Rave stuff. Is there an artbook about? *_* I've seen a goods book, but that's not really what I'm after =\

I saw the cutest MashiMaro slingbag at Morning Glory last night XD I want I want I want. But it's $60, and although adorable, not worth paying nearly that much for T_T I will be strong. I will pine, but not buy...... I will. Or I will wait at least a week and see if I still pine as fervently =_=;;

And why is my Dad suddenly waving articles at me about studying in Japan? make him stop, make him stooooooooop o_o; How come he's suddenly keen on sending me overseas to do a *squints* research degree
