I surround myself by things, because I trust them more than people. I am unable to trust acquaintances, in fact, I am too afraid that they may betray me, as it often happened.

Or maybe I am such a bad friend I am unable to keep anyone near me?

I just don't want to suffer anymore...

It's a Pon Pon World

Reports from the Patapon War Fronts...

Dodonga lev.6
Majidonga lev.5
Zaknel lv.4
Dokaknel lv.3

now trying to sneak Zigotons' catapult away, so that i can break their castles at Mt. Bachikoi.

I need more kibapons hehe ^^


Who could have imagined that such a basic 4/4 rhythm based PSP game would be THAT entertaining? :)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Traveling back and forth every morning and night makes me travel into the people's lives, or -- more accurately -- into some details I sometimes wish I wouldn't hear... a world where urban decays walks side by side with some of the nicest smiles, some of the best of every stolen moments, about a curious bird making the day of Grandma sitting next to me, or knowing about Gordon's Fantastic Adventures in the Cellar, or his rescue from Evil Garage (said Gordon being a fluffy ball of red hair and cat attitudes).. It's traveling from downtown city ("hey, so you lived far away from here? like, say, 'round Namur and the like? Cuz see, hey, that's FAR away yeah?"), to Africa or even Faraway Asia... its seeing the bag of my dreams, or getting my attention caught by an English accent... its, in the end, traveling in slow-motion, far from the IC rapid trains, full of sleepy workers and serious papers. It's feeling the tracks rattling down the engine, actually seeing landscape unraveling through the window aside, accomplishing an 8 times night/day cycle, when the 35 years old lights grow dimmer in tunnels...

It's like daydreaming reality.

modern wizardry

What amazes me most, is that it feels like magic, while it's nothing but logic...

don't lose hope :)

<*happy>


to think that one month ago, the 18 number had brought nothing but bad news...delays at the embassy, and yet another "no"... one month later, our files are being processed, and there is a new beginning :)




don't lose hope, never ...

like this little late snow this noon : it's fresh and unexpected ...







No sky
no earth - but still
snowflakes fall

now it's up to me to do the best

Idol Talk

This was the first anime song I ever fell in love with... I still can remember, it was featured on a cheap CD produced by AB prod', and it was the first time I could access Real Genuine Original Version Anime Pop Music =)

The song is composed by Kanno Yoko, one of my all-time favourite Japanese composer... her sense of music, of language invented (such as in Idol Talk), her jazzy, airy, dreamy songs, made me fall in love in that music in no time :)... sung by one of my favourite Japanese singer, Arai Akino...

enjoy !

composer: Kanno Yoko
Voice : Arai Akino

*sigh*

If only you could blog again :(

I miss your intelligence and your way of writing... Some are as good I know, but they seem copycat to me....


S., you gave me the will for blogging, and I thank you for this :)

==about the PSP==



-locoroco platinum : i got lucky finding a legit copy at a supermarket. jumped on the occasion, anyway, we could still sold it away later. locoroco 2 will be out in january here, and patapon is announced as the next big PSP hit =D (yes, your wifey is learning about gaming yay ! )

-firmware: impossible to know, since the boxes are sealed, and they need to charge the PSP, they boot it, then check the status , with the firmware options. i seen there are possibilities of updates/upgrades (legit) from the PSP official site. as far as i know, they might have released 3.80 already.

-warranty : the biggest problem : japanmanufactured consoles are not supported by Sony Europe. biggest problem then is : getting a console that would not work here... problem with chargers too, and some spare pieces that are different too. It is one year warranty, given by Sony Europe.

-value pack: there are none at the moment, and the one wih the 4G memstick is out of stock. question: do i need a memstick? or is internal memory enough for saving game progression? i forgot to ask the retailer about that :)

-memory sticks : still thinking about where to get the best for the cheapest =D

-the retailer here : owns a game shop, knows his stuff. it is a franchise store, pretty much up-to-date. sounds more reliable than mass market stores.

-available colours : piano black or silver or white. no pink (it was the PSP fat). special spiderman pack (dark red and black + game +umd movie), or simpson pack (simpson yellow + game). i'd go for the black. // i seen a lovely JApanese violet one...

-should I : buy a 4G mem card yet?

-last but not least: the PSP and locoroco is the first combo that really makes me wanna play :D this, and GBA hihihi. gosh, i need to empty my mind by rolling singing blobs !

My two cents...

I haven't been writing since forever, and receiving a little message saying "thank you for your writing" is maybe the best surprise I could dream about :)

The way I write.... I think there is no surprise, no magic trick, no secret. I write about things I know, or that touches me... In what I write, there is always me, of course. I think you have to be at least a bit narcissist to write. Behind the writing, which is a liberating act per se, there is the secret hope, or the open hope, to be read, to be acknowledged, and, to be loved.

If, by our writing, we can go as far as touching people, and bringing them a little piece of smile, then, even better :)


I wrote this little nothing for two reason : 1° I love writing about a fictional me, and her real husband. 2) I wanted to thank elder for his Christmas tale, that was maybe the biggest forum surprise I ever had. I should have said, reason 1) and reason 1), there is no hierarchy between those two reasons.

I seen that little story in my mind, I am happy to have written it the way I felt it.

Doc... I just read your PM, and I disconnected... I am sorry about that, but I feel like I owe you an explanation... I don't know how to react to such mark of gratitude and friendship, I just do not have the words myself... If I hide behind inuchan's words, then it becomes easier, maybe it's the shyness still in me, I do not know...

Take care always, Doc, my friend.... If one day you read these words, know that you are a person I highly appreciate the advice of, and the personality :) I never got the chance to meet you, but you are part of those real people that makes me want to be a better person :)


Sis, you rule :)




mahal kita, kahit magkalayo kayo ^^

happysad


from an Imessenger discussion:

ichiban:"we cannot say we are happy or sad. true happiness is hindered by our daily worries, and true sadness does not befall us : i cannot say i am sad when i have the man of my life near me, and a happy life, by world's standard"
ichiban: "i am fine, i am tired, i am less happy, or a bit sad"
ichiban: "but i am never in a state i call desperate. i leave that to real people in need, or drama queens. not for me, sorry"
ichiban: hehe
ichiban: ym:P

work-in-progress...

Maybe I better erase it all.... I cannot finish this... *siiiiiiiigh*


Hate me
(Wednesday, 1 »th march, 2007 /***’s status)


-Why don’t you just go away and hate me ?

His words had taken her aback with such violence she could feel Goosebumps slowly creeping down her spine. Even the hot coffee couldn’t completely ease the feeling of guilt she now felt. How did it all come to that situation, how had they fallen so far apart each other?

She swallowed her tears, as well as her pride. A little voice inside her was whispering she couldn’t save the whole universe, easing the misery and sorrows of each sad soul. He was special to her allright. But was she special in any way to him?

The coffee felt warm and bitter to the mouth. A bit like life at times. Not a honey-sweetened herbal tea, just a black, strong thing you had to swallow entirely. She smiled. Even now she felt the urge to make a whole story out of it. She was helpless, wasn’t she?

What was no fiction though, was the literally desperate look in his eyes. Just a flicker, buried deep down under the hatred, the loathed feelings. Was it towards her only? Or did he aimed all those feelings toward him?

She couldn’t say, she admitted. Knowing him for too little time, not even sure what she would do would help.

- OK. I’ll do that. Remember I am still around if you need me.

She then had left. Fighting against the urge of turning back, watching him go away, or maybe hoping for him watching her. She had reached the next Starbucks in what seemed like ages. When she turned away, the crowd had swallowed him up entirely.

Where had he gone, she couldn’t tell. Maybe going back home. Or walking around, maybe he was near. She poured some milk in the coffee, soothing both taste and warmth. Near the cup (caffe latte, yes just that, please), her cellphone. No call. No texts. She sighed, and took one more sip.

Maybe it was really life like. Getting bitter, and angry, but finally we all know the anger would recede. Until the next surge of course, but it wasn’t a permanent state, was it? She smiled, and finished the sweet, almost cold beverage. She frowned a bit. She definitely didn’t like sugar in her caffe, latte or not.

Marie Digby

A friend of mine sent me those young singer/songwriter's covers of "Umbrella" and "Gimme more"...


It's Bluffing !

The young lady is half Japanese/half Irish, learns her songs by heart (no tabs!), and is preparing an upcoming album :)


All the best to you Marie, you are really talented !!!
