Writing it out
Edit : Okay, the post goes public because I just don’t care much about anybody else reading it.
Dunno what exactly do I want to write out but I’m so much confused these days that I have to pour out my thoughts, even if just to structure them a bit. Not that they have anything structure-able in them anyway. It’s all just a hazy dazed feeling I keep having these days. As if there’s something I want but I can’t seem to reach out to it. Something’s holding me back, whether it be culture, fear, pride, or just the rational side of my brain. And then there’re things I simply want to run away from and not give a look behind. But the sucking fact is that they are much faster than me – damn easy for them to catch up. -_- There’s so much out there to do, and there’s so much I want to do. But when I try catching up with some of it, I feel as if the life I’d been living for the past year or so is one I will never be able to live again. And it’s a part of my life I know I’ll never be able to forget. I discovered so many things – some amazing, some crap – but it was all so much worth it. A life free of any worries, just living as it is. Though I know it’s a wrong usage of the phrase. ._. Anyway, that wasn’t what I wanted to talk about at all!
So coming back, I think I jump into friendships quite fast and easily. Maybe I should stay back and observe the person a bit more, rather than regret later. It’s not that there’s some problem with the involved person, it’s just that I don’t get along much with those kind of people. I don’t have a problem if you’re amazingly emotional, but I do have a problem if you’re annoyingly emotional and don’t realize it either. It’s as if you can’t really behave socially if you’re troubled over something. I mean, after living for more than eighteen years in this society, how can you not realize its ways of working and deal with them yourself? What’s with all the incessant whining over every little instance of going off the track? Why bitch about every third person in your life, just for the heck of it? That’s some attitude I really can’t stand, and somehow, I have come across quite a few such people in these past few months. I understand if you aren’t being your normal self due to some upsetting reason for a while, but for this thing to drag on and on, with your problems becoming inter-mingled and more complicated – shush, seriously dude, I’m not interested. Period. Why would I be? Rather, why should I be? I’m here as a friend, I get that. Doesn’t mean I solve your troubles. Doesn’t mean all you do is whine before me, expecting me to magically erase out all your worries. Hey, I’ve got a life of my own as well. And as much as you think otherwise, everybody has their work and life on a priority. And hell, if I don’t get my work done, it’s gonna come back to me double. So it isn’t simple for anybody. But even then, have you ever heard me whining blatantly about something? And if you have, just how rare is it? Get a clue from it, maybe? I’m not you, and I don’t lead your life. You do that, so take care of it by yourself, damnit.
Now I’m really inclined to make this post public so that some of the said people might get a peek to what I truly think about them, and hopefully, that will burst their little bubble of stupid hope. The stupid hope on which they seem to spend their lives. See, this is why people dare to call lives as petty. Because you just might be living it that way and you never even realize it. Lol, in retrospection, I’m kinda bitching a whole lot as well, but again, it’s entirely my fault that I’m in such a predicament today so can’t really blame anyone else for it. That’s why I kinda miss the past year; there were never any such problems because I didn’t associate with such personas anyway. And the ones I’m still in contact with are amazing people by themselves. People who have really got something to gain my respect to such levels. *_* Don’t wanna write about them in such a foul mood right now.
So this is it for now. Got to sleep as I can feel a headache coming, and it’d be better if I’m in bed before its arrival. And to celebrate the posting of the first private post of this blog, I dedicate to it the lovely song – In Memories ~ Kotowari – from Rurouni Kenshin, Tsuiokohen OVA.
G’night!
Edit : Now that I’m making it public, the dedication goes to my first bitchy post, lol.
Untitled
Music : Glaring Dream, Gravitation OST
… can’t think of a title, really. Dunno if what I feel like writing even needs one. Anyway, had a sucking day. Wasn’t in high spirits for the better part of the day; couldn’t think of a reason why. There was no apparent reason but was feeling quite down. Got a headache by late afternoon which soon turned into a splitting one. Hell, I don’t think my mind’s functioning even 1/4th of what it normally does. I just feel sick and tired and completely worn out and I can’t even begin to fathom why. So much so that it’s starting to get on my nerves.
Guess I’ll just go to sleep now. Got to start working early tomorrow and I need to cast off this stupid mood if I want to focus on it. Oyasumi~
Music : None
Of flicks n’ fun
Currently having term-end vacs going on. Also, yesterday and today, the Makar Sakranti fest is celebrated on a large scale here, so everything’s closed down. Positive side was that there was no work. Negative was that I had to go down to 10 acres just to get some Top Ramen Curry. -_- There was a get-together at the building’s terrace yesterday, and though the food pretty much sucked, my brother and I were counting all the ‘ tukkals ‘ ( kites with lanterns hanging on their strings; pretty similar to what happens in the Japanese culture ) in the sky. I was disappointed to see that people don’t really put up ‘ tukkals ‘ much these days – was able to count only some measly 12. About seven-eight years before, the sky used to light up with them and I used to spend a decent time counting them out ( and counting how many lanterns were there on each string as well ) while my brothers used to put up some of our own. Nobody celebrates the fest at our place now… seems like I’m the only one whose even remotely interested in doing so. Well, gonna do that from the next year anyway.
A set-making contest has been going on at aarin currently, that is, there are many, but I was interested in this one as the pairings/characters listed were some of my alltime favourites. So I decided to go for it this time. Made a Maes, L, and Hitachiin brothers set each. And though they are for the contest, I am completely in love with the L set~♥ The pic itself was amazingly gorgeous, and the dark shades I put on it made it look so… good. Oh well, wasn’t for me from the start, lol.
Anyway, don’t feel like writing anymore for the moment so gonna sign off. Ja~
PS : Any DN/Bleach fans? xD I couldn’t overcome my giggles for almost five minutes when I saw it :

G’night! ^.^
A busy busy post
… well, not that busy, really. ;) Started working at Bhaiyya’s office a few days ago, and I have to say, it’s kinda loads of fun even though it does require hard work and lots of thinking. ._. ( Yeah, we even joked that I could now go for the job description of a ‘ thinker ‘ – something I always wondered about. xD ) I’d been going to the office with Bhaiyya and coming back at night with him as well, but today, I had to take a bus as his bike had got punctured yesterday which was, unfortunately, a Sunday. So Mamma accompanied me as well just for the heck of it so am back home early. ^.^
Now I had applied for the job of a cleaner to a friend’s scanlation group a while ago and she sent me the scans last night. There are four DJs, I think, and except for one of them, the others look pretty easy. The last one has got quite a bit of text and SFX written on the images, so will have to re-draw quite a bit. -_- Not that I mind doing it; I just haven’t done much of it. I’m gonna start right after I put up this post so hopefully I’ll do good! xD
On another note, I started reading Garth Nix’ Sabriel a couple of days ago. It seemed to have the binding charm of Keys to the Kingdom, even if a bit predictable, and the characters seem to well developed till now. Been reading it on cell on my bed at night so don’t really move forward enough in a day, lol. But it’s still fun so it’s cool even if I finish it in a month! xD ( Hell, I read HP 7 in a day! )
Okay, so that’s it for now. Thinking of writing a poem/updating A Bat of an Eyelid soon. I wrote out a start of a story I’d wanted to write for a while but it’s idly lying around in my cell at the moment. Will try to get it more complete whenever I feel like it. n_n
Later!
PS : Bhaiyya told me about the MicroSoft Student Partner programme yesterday and I looked it up in the morning. Seemed pretty interesting even though I didn’t get a very clear idea of it yet. Just from the skimming I did, it looks like I’ll have to work harder on improving and polishing my language and designing skills for now. And enough for them till this September 2009 as that’s when the registration for MSP selections will start. Will post more about this later!
Random thoughts

Had the first uni exam today – Communication Skills. Went pretty smoothly though I’m not really sure of what actually was expected of me considering this is the first official exam of GTU so let’s wait for the results. Gonna start with Maths tonight, and I know I’m going to hate it. >.< Oh well, just a few days more and I can get back to my usual life.
Oh, I got my hands on some good tracks recently, my favourite of which is ‘ Chou Nan Ren ‘ from ‘ Devil Beside You ‘. Now, going by the lyrics, there shouldn’t be any reason why I’d like such a song xD but I liked the guy’s voice a lot! It kinda suits the mood and attitude of the song, so. And of course, I’m completely in love with the SDK tracks! But I think that’s because I like SDK itself to quite a good extent. The manga, I mean. The anime is kinda boring me. I’ve been downloading it religiously but it’s just not as well developed or interesting as the manga. All the plots go about too rapidly and there’s a whole new idea of something known as ‘ Kenyou ‘. Hell, from what I’ve seen, even Yukimura seems to be one. The relationship between Kyo and Yuya develops in an unnaturally speeded up manner rendering it a usual kinda romance ( which it isn’t in the manga; the poor girl’s scared shit of Kyo. xD And he actually doesn’t show much concern for her till quite late. Imo, the Mahiro episode just takes place because he’s that kind, rather than being concerned. ) And they’ve mutilated the story needlessly. When stuff like Bleach can have 150+ episodes and still ongoing, SDK could definitely have had a few 50 episodes. There wasn’t any particular need to cut it short to 26. Though there might have been some budget costing, I’m sure, still it does seem popular enough to have a good fan-following. But there are still some good things about the anime. For one, I love those insert images of Kyo, Yukimura and Sasuke at the half-time of each episode. And the Mizuchi’s really well executed, too! I’m not sure whether Muramasa is actually shown in the anime or not but I’m hoping he is. And Shinrei and Hotaru as well. Other than that, the background score’s fabulous, and so are the voice actors. Not the dubbed English ones, though. Megiera sounds horrible with that weird accent!

Old post draft lying around. CS was the first test of term-ends – now I’m done with them and enjoying the vacs already. Thought I’d rather post it than delete the damn thing.
A new year and a new phone
So yay~ I finally bought this phone. Had been lobbying for it for the past two months or so – Dad eventually got it for me. Here’s a pic of it :

HTC Fun P3400i
It kinda feels heavy and big but I’ve got used to its weight now. ( And yes, that’s my WACOM Graphire tablet as the base, lol. The most comfy location to take a pic. ) There are two more pics I took using my old cell :

Close-up ( kinda weird )

The Today Screen
Got a cool Link Black and Green Theme put up. Had some probs with putting up pics as background before – they all seemed covered by a layer of grey. The solution was so damn simple – I hadn’t been setting the transparency levels to 0, heh. Also, I managed to get in a lot of applications last night! Forgot to install MobiReader so did that today. And man, my phone looks so cool now~ Actually managed to to write out a poem on it, lol. And the keyboard and transcriber options are so much fun!
Anyway, seems like I forgot to wish a very happy new year! ^.^ 2008’s rolled by and I’ve to get out of my comfy cocooned world now. >.> Oh well, everybody’s gotta grow up and learn the ways of world someday.
So that’s it for now… had a lot more to write out but can feel a terrible onset of cramps right now. Meh, I’ve got so much to study, too. Hopefully, it’ll be better tomorrow and I’ll be able to get some part of PJ Shah I done.
Later then~ n_n ( yeah, not even these cramps can damp my really good mood, hee! )
