Metamorphosis
Live life as it is~Just an update on life
Been a while since I blogged, eh. Well, there just isn’t much happening, you could say. Just the usual studies and having fun. Guess the only new thing at the moment would be the fact that I’ve started learning the violin. Which I have to say, is a hell lot of super-fun! xD I’ll be buying my own violin later this week, so then I’ll be able to practice whenever and wherever I want as well! The point is – I always knew that I loved the music a violin would make, but I never thought playing it yourself could be so much… umm, gratifying, maybe? ;) It’s really an awesome feeling alright. ^^ My hand movements are still a bit jerky but that should get okay with practice, I guess. It’s just been four lessons till now anyway. And I’m already loving it to all the bits and pieces, hee!
Moving on, study-wise, I’m not really progressing much. It really is just so boring! ): And I, as always, just can’t make any heads and tails out of it. Oh well, I’m still doing it at a fair pace… hopefully, once I start on EEE, it’ll get easier because that’s quite my pet subject. Whew. I wonder what I’m gonna do about Maths and Mechanics though. Haven’t even touched them till now, and we don’t have any breaks for them either. All in it’s due time, I guess. -sigh- I really wanna do good this time, and hopefully, I won’t mess up at all.
On another note, I started watching Black Blood Brothers a while ago. Your usual comedy and action anime. And it’s got vampires, lol. And for the first time, I wasn’t disappointed ( a bit, maybe… but not in the usual way, definitely ) by the lead character ( who’s a vampire ). For one, he doesn’t keep whining about falling head over heels for a human woman, and the consequential implications of this fact. Also, he’s quite a funny brat, lol. And his li’l brother’s sooo cute~ The lead girl’s a nice change from the stereotypical ones, and thankfully, she doesn’t seem to be romantically involved with this guy. There are a bit emo moments shared between the two, but none gets out of hand. More importantly, there’s a totally awesome vampire in there, who’s definitely the masterpiece of the whole deal. He’s one of the oldest ones ( looks like 22 though, lol ), is known as the unearthly beauty xD, and has got the most gorgeous eyes ever. ;) And he’s the smartest and most tactful person in the whole story. Can pretty much wrap the whole deal around his li’l finger, and people won’t even notice – kinda smart. Just like Dietrich, from Trinity Blood, minus the supposed insaneness. But worth a watch, nonetheless! Still got a couple of episodes to watch… though I know how it’s all gonna end already. :D Anyway, now for the pics!
Zelman Clock - the fire-eyed prince~ It's hard to get find this guy's pics! *_* I'll get some good snapshots the next time I watch it.
Zelman Clock, Sayuka ( his secretary ), with Jirou Mochizuki in the background ( the lead character )
Rinsuke - just another cute vampire, lol. Though I really don't like his accent. >.>
Cassandra Jill Warlock - Cassa, for short. The bad-ass villain, heh. And the second brat of the story. xD ( The first's Jirou, of course~ )
Kotarou Mochizuki - the second lead character. Jirou's kid-bro, and one of the most sensible person in the anime. ^^ Real cute~
And lastly, a wallpaper :
Black Blood Brothers - Wallpaper : ( From R to L ) Mimiko, Zelman, Jirou, Cassa, Yafuri Chao
And that’s all, folks! Laterz then~ ^^
Just like that
Yup, just because I felt like writing out something. And as usual, it’s just going to be some absolute random crap I’ll make along as I write. I definitely have a flair for that sort of writing, lol. Or maybe I just love the soft feel of the keys beneath my fingers so much that I’d do anything to make sure the feeling’s there for as much time as possible. Shit, this sounds weird even to me. ;P Well, in retrospect, I do love writing out notes on my PDA too! So maybe it’s just the writing out all my random thoughts in some kinda phrase that draws to me. O.o Which is a very… um, difficult thing to understand. But it’s just the way with me for all I can figure out. And I’m very happy with it because as I’ve mentioned loads of times before, there’s nothing like getting my ideas and thoughts out of my mind for me. Absolutely nothing can be more relaxing, that’s for sure.
Well, that’s that for now… moving on to something else. Hmm, now that I think of it, I don’t really have something else to write about. Maybe I could write about the movie I was watching a while ago? It’s called Laundry– I mentioned thinking of watching it in my previous post– and it seems to be quite a promising one. Not your regular cup of tea, this one’s a very sweet and subtle romance between a twenty-year old shy kid and an older woman whose trying hard to fight her problems in life. Actually, the romantic part’s so very subtle that you’d totally miss it if you didn’t get a catch of the feelings involved. It’s more about trust and belief, and honesty above everything else. Of course, I’d just wanted to watch it because it had got Yosuke starring ( I was rather put off when I found out that he was starring opposite Koyuki– somehow, I just never really liked her ) but it just sucked me in completely, and now even though I really wanna watch how it ends, it’s just too late at my end… well, not exactly too late but my parents are gonna shout out for me any moment now… and I really got scoot. Wow, just got a call, hee. Anyway, I’ll complete up writing out a bit more of what I felt when I was watching it, and after I finished doing so in a day or two.
Okay, so my arm seems to be paining again now. Isn’t exactly paining… more like a throbbing beat somewhere on the rear-side of my wrist. Feels as if something’s being pulled. Weird feeling, honestly. -shrug-
Gotta go then! Ja ne~
Nothing doing~
So I’ve been absolutely and completely free for the past few days. Got a nerve compression ( or something like that – ain’t got a ditz what it is exactly about ) in my right arm, and it pained like hell even to move my fingers. There seemed to be a swelling on one of the motor nerves, I guess. It has got a lot okay in this while but it still does feel quite heavy if I use my arm for more than half an hour at a stretch. But it’s loads better than before; that time, it almost felt like it was a completely different entity of its own, and had simply refused to operate according to my brain waves. -shudder- Anyway, that particular period seems to have passed now. I’m still on drugs, yeah, and will be doing so for the better part of the next month if the prescriptions I’ve received are anything to go by. But at least my arm feels mine own again. And I can type, even if I still can’t seem to hold the pen properly to write for more than a few minutes.
More importantly, I’m thinking of starting to learn the violin, yay! I mean, I always was attracted to it, obviously, but before this, I’d never really made much of a conscious effort to search out a violin class. There were just two I found though – one which seems good but doesn’t teach classical at all, just the western songs, and other, which isn’t really a swanky little thing but they do teach proper classical for sure. They rather emphasize on that part. The only problem is that this second one is a bit farther than the first, and that’s almost like thirteen or fourteen kilometres from my place. While it’s more than okay with me to travel that distance on the weekends, it’ll be a mess going there directly from college. That’d make my round trip to college an affair of almost fifty kilometres. -sigh- But can’t really do anything about it as there’s no point attending the classes continuously on the weekends– no time to practice. So I’ll have to endure the journey for at least one weekday. Well, that’s kinda the setback in the first class as well, and they have only weekday batches to top it up, lol. That’s that then. I’m going tomorrow to talk out the details at the second class. Hopefully, I’ll be able to buy a violin in a couple of days after that and start on it already. ^~^
On another note, my end-terms will be held in about a month from now. Haven’t really started on anything– I prefer making notes alongwith studying, thus not being able to write was a major problem there– but I’m hoping to begin on EME right after I’m done with my current work. And eaten something, lol. I’ll be fainting with hunger if I don’t eat something in half an hour, most probably. xD So yeah, I think I’ll go for the ‘Properties of Gases’ and ‘Properties of Steam’ today… let’s see how much I’m able to do before my arm gives away to the stress. Hopefully, I’ll be able t complete these two topics at least. Then tomorrow, once I’m done with all the morning chores and duties, the very first thing I’m going to do is watch Laundry. Now I know that’s gonna be a huge problem because I can’t really find a good pair of earphones or headphones on me anywhere. >.< Maybe I’ll just dig out all that I have and check. Or if nothing works, I’ll just connect my PC cabinet to the LCD and Home Theatre, and watch it there. Also, I got some reliable good links for downloading Coraline so I’m hoping to watch that in a couple of days too. And I’m really excited about that as that’s rumoured to be one of the best stop-motion 3D films released in the past few years! How cool’s that, eh? xD
Anyway, this is it for now. My hand is starting to act up already now. And my belly too, for that matter. ;) Later then~
Cuz it’s just so cool!
Okay, so I didn’t get my PC upgraded. Yet. Papa wanted me to take care of some other tasks before he’d let me get the upgradation, so. Well, it’s gonna get delayed for another week now as I’ve got our techfest this week, and I have a feeling that I’d definitely be needing my PC during this time. So that’s it for now. -_-
On another note, I downloaded quite a few Flash / ActionScript tutorials last night – stuff which looked both, interesting and difficult to me. Gonna start with the most beginner version of them right after I finish posting this. And I got my applications decided as well. There’s one in which I have to design an animated banner for a website designing company. In another, I’ve to pull off a rolling menu ( or carousel ) which has eight menus, each on one leg of a huge spider in the centre. Mouse movements will control the rolling of the menu. And if I can make it, the spider should adorn an appearance according to the content of the menu displayed while it is rolled into the front position. The third one is a real-life thingy in which I have to compare the procedure of cotton-processing by natural and chemical methods. I’ll have to prepare the storyline for this as well. But this one is to be undertaken only if I successfully complete the first two. -phew- There’s another one too where I have to design a parking lot and guide vehicles according to a map on which there will be an animated path made out for them to follow to the slot provided for them. But again, I have to do this one only if I complete the above three. So a long way to go now.
Alright, I’ll get back to work now~ :)
A poem on friendship I stumbled by
Portrait of a Friend
I can’t give solutions to all of life’s problems, doubts,
or fears.
But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.
I can’t change your past with all it’s heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.
I can’t keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.
Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.
I can’t prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.
I can’t give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.
I can’t keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.
I can’t tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.
– Unknown

Exams on head
March 28th, 2009
Got my exams in a couple of days now. Haven’t studied even a bit for it so I’m kinda tensed up as to what’s going to happen. It’s not that I haven’t got the time to study – we’re having a mass bunk at college so I’m practically free all day. I just don’t feel like it at all. And that sucks big time. Because if this goes on, I’ll get in serious trouble when the exam days roll by. I’ve been working on maths for the past few days and I simply ain’t progressing at all. So I’m thinking of starting with EEE tonight. Hopefully, I’ll be able to be done with at DC circuits. Though I’ll have to take out about an hour or so around midnight because of Manasi and Bhabhi’s birthday tomorrow. Will be wishing sis and celebrating with sis-in-law. But I’m thinking of staying awake till late tonight… even though I’m already feeling sleepy, lol.
Now I don’t really have anything much to write about but I’m making a post after such a long time that I just feel like writing out a bit more. xD Yeah, I’m weird like that. Doing a reality check, I just realised that there are so many things I have got pending that I’m gonna get buried under the load once I’m done with this internals. -sigh- Even though I hate being idle, I don’t really enjoy working every single hour of the time I’m not asleep.

Got this saved as a draft, and forgot to post it up. So here it goes.
