I tried to take a lot of pictures before I left, so I stood by the escalator and stopped people who were stepping off of it. Even finally took a picture of ManChii! And I finally saw Larva and Miyu!! Go Vampire Princess Miyu!! And btw, can you all believe I took all of these photos and videos all by/from my cellphone? Awesome huh? *hugs her cell phone*



























Videos:
I took a few videos when I was walkin around and when I saw my friend Hector playing his sax and I recorded that. Then I recorded parts of the closing cerimony. Hope you all enjoy~!

I was in the karaoke room from 12:50pm til 8:50pm!!!!! Didn't walk around or take as much pics as I did yesterday but I came baring HILARIOUS videos! Hope that makes up for my lack of pics. I saw a lot of people cosplaying but not as much as yesterday, and the ones I saw today were of the same characters and I already took pictures of those characers yesterday so I didn't.
Now on to the photos:















It's almost 4am and haven't slept yet. I'm drained and can't keep my eyes open. Please tell me if there are broken links. I kept checkin my vids and my comp won't show them but its the right links and they do work. Hope you all enjoy~ nighty night

So yesterday (Friday. March 28) I went to my first day of Sakura con and after a lot of miscommunication and running back and forth, I found out I did have to pay the whole amount even though I'm just gonna be a volunteer, and since I'm broke... I was about to give up and go home, but I ended up calling my sister and told her what happened to me and she told me to give her my account number and she wired me enough for my pass and for food! I LOVE MY SISTERRRRRRR! Then after FINALLY registering, I went to eat then I was assigned to the karaoke room and it was such a blast! I met a LOT of people and got to sing along with them while I do the introduction for them on the mic. There was even one time a person wasn't singing loud enough and kinda mumbled the whole way. So, I started singing along... without knowing how loud I was lol. Turns out people in the audience could hear me singing and they were watching me instead of the person on stage! Whoops! lol. The staff in the karaoke room kept telling me I should go on the stage and sing too and I kept saying no lol. If anyone is going to go to Sakura con tomorrow, check out the karaoke room from 3pm til late, I should be in there at the table! Don’t forget to say hi! *loves meeting new people*
I’m probably gonna be on the Sakura staff next year, the leader of the karaoke room asked the manager if she could have me on her full time staff and that she loved working with me, and so did the others from the staff! When I heard that from one of the managers, I was so happy!
























































I was bored when i was going up on the escalators so I turned on the camcorder on my cell lol

A cute lil girl dressed up as Sailor Chibi moon was trying to sing the sailormoon theme and kept getting stuck so i sang with her. she's sooooo cuteeeee!

Tell me what you think. lol
Don’t judge me
With your piercing glares
Trying to spot my every flaw
Fuck that
Don’t picture me in dresses
With curls in my brownish hair
Fuck that
Don’t tell me I should have makeup like a doll
With powder and colored nails
Fuck that
Don’t think I should blend in with the crowd
Chat with the clique and laugh with the masses
Fuck that
Let me be an individual
With my own style and own tales
So don’t disregard me for my distinctiveness
Can’t judge a book just by looking at its cover
Won’t know until you try
But if you try to like me
And yet you pretend I am something I am not
Fuck that
I’m gone
My Friend
You’re sweet and kind
Loving and true
When I look back
On the things we did
On the things we do
Together forever I find
The laughter the tears
The heartbreak the fears
And all I'd like to say
Is Thank god I have
You for a friend.

Fly
Fly away and be free
Thy wings, please carry me

With open arms
I'll protect you
From all harm
So wait for me

Light the dawn - lyrics
Chorus:
Left out
Alone
Down and desperate
Waiting for my time to shine
Put down
Distraught
Light the dawn of my life
Bright and cheery your world is
No small crack to let in
Joyous and ignoring all else
Close-minded your thoughts
When will you learn
Chorus:
Left out
Alone
Down and desperate
Waiting for my time to shine
Put down
Distraught
Light the dawn of my life
Yeah I’ve done this
Then done that
Are you going to disregard me
No one’s perfect
Does that not count you or me
Chorus 2:
Light the dawn on my life
Don’t put me down
You don’t need to love me
I don’t need your sympathy
Just let me be
Let me light the dawn on my life
Light the dawn on my life
You all feel joy in what you do
Why not let me do the same
Please do not try to steal any of these writings from me. I am just saving these up here so I won't lose them.

I still hate my hair, but atleast I didn't pull it all out like I said I would. And I finally got back into the artsy mood. It sucks when my art insperation runs dry when my mood is down. I wish I was the type of artist that draws best when stressing or being down, because then I'd draw NON STOP! *sighs*
My thumb drive broke right when my old comp was finally plugged in and ready to use, so I now can't scan on my old comp and save the files onto my thumb drive to put it on my new comp. So I will have to wait until I get a new scanner or a new thumb drive, or replace the one I have now. I emailed the seller of the defective thumb drive and he said I will have to send the thumb drive back to him with a copy of his email and then they are going to inspect it and if they see that it is broken, they will send me a replacement, and if they see that it isn't broken, they will send it back to me on my expense. how rude is that?! Well they better see that it is broken BECAUSE IT IS! I still owe Sarah a emo pic of her, and Usagi a pic of him... gah I really need to get my butt in gear.
Anyways first class of the day I work in is over, time to head back to the office. I'll rant somemore later. PEACE~!
I sprained my arm, and it has been hurting for a week now.
My boss forgot to approve my hours on time, so I'm wondering if I will get my paycheck on time or not.
I failed a test and on monday I will have to go back and take it AGAIN.
I thought that if I got my hair cut that it would make me feel better, but it turns out that it made me feel WORSE! I want to pull my hair out and say screw it. x.x I asked for it to be to my chin but what does she do, SHE CUTS IT SO FREAKEN SHORT. I can't even put the top part of my hair behind my ears. And I wanted it to be curled out and then she freaken blowdries it INWARD and puts styling gel on it so now I can't make it curl OUT! I just want to forever wear a hat and never take it off. It's so bad that it totally brought me to tears. (if you want a clear picture of my hair, think about Sanzo from Saiyuki but picture it a little shorter and that'll be my hair) What I really wanted was hair like Elie or Haru from Groove Adventure Rave or like how I had it the last time I cut it, it was just like the new sunflower hairstyle you see on gaiaonline.com. And what sucks even more, is that I WASTED MY OWN money on this crappy hairdo. I was so mad that I didn't even give her a tip or even a thank you, I just paid up and went.
And to top it all off, I got the Saiyuki Movie in the mail yesterday, but then I just got a email today saying that they are JUST NOW SENDING IT to me. They better not be double paying me for it.
And sad to say church life at Joong Ang sucks. I just get so nauseated everytime I have to stay there longer than I have to. I don't know, it is probably because of the fact that EVERYONE that goes there has known eachother all their lives and their so closeminded and rude to get out of their darn cliques and actually try to hang out with other people. Like come on! I have been there for 4 (VERY LONG) years and did I ever get accepted into any one of those cliques? NO! Because I am not a thing like them, so they don't even want to bother to even look at me let alone talk to me. Yeah, some of them do the occational wave hi to me or the quick 'oh hi tina, how are you' but they run off before you can even ANSWER.
I've been losing weight lately, and everyone won't leave me alone about it. My mom thinks I am starving myself, just because I don't eat at home after I get back from work, PROBABLY BECAUSE I EAT AT WORK BEFORE I HEAD HOME! It's not like I can hold my stumach for the 6 hours I am at work everyday just so that I could come home starving and eat infront of her just to show her that I am eating. Dude, I eat! I just don't eat more than I have to.
And what really pisses me off, is my darn computer and my scanner. My scanner is so old that XP can't even read it, and here I am REALLY wanting to get back into the drawing mode, but I can't even scan them into the comp. And I can't even surf the web without this evil popup blocker that keeps on screwing up explorer and making a evil warning thing pop up that ends up closing ALL OF MY EXPLORER windows that were open.
GAH WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO GO SO WRONG ALL AT ONCE?

I missed a step and tripped while twisting my left ankle and now I’m in so much pain and I can’t walk for the life of me
I’m stuck at work doing absolutely nothing while there’s a big test in a few days that i have not studied for yet so it’s haunting me like mad.
I don’t know what to do on the Friday before Halloween... my boss asked me to wear a costume on that day since she is going to x.x
It’s raining non stop this week and I’m cold and wet
So yeah, life sucks, I'm in pain. What a grand life this is

its been a while since i posted the stuff about losing sammi and all. my family is slowly coping with our loss, my mom is thinkin about getting another maltese (sorta to fill the gap in our hearts) she also wants to get a shih-tsu. we are having a hard time finding a maltese and shih-tsu where we live, because we are trying to stay away from the b&i since thats where we got toby and sammi and both of them got sick before they turned four (its just that toby recovered from what he has, even though he hasta take meds all of his life... but sammi didnt recover from what he had) so we assume that b&i has somethin wrong with their animals there or something.
i still cant draw and im slowly stressing out over that fact.
want to hear some good news?
well, i have a job... im now a t.a. for my old comp teacher, i grade projects and papers everyday for $8.31 an hour, 12 hours a week. its going pretty good so far. and i finally have a cell phone. and pretty soon i will finally have a car. and i have been working on my website and making friends websites too. so all of this keeps me busy which is a very good thing at this point in my life. just hopefully ill be able to draw again so i wont feel as empty inside as i feel now...
- Mood:
restless
dont mind me... im just wasting time.. been having a really bad week... and its almost a whole week since sammi was put to sleep... it still hurts so much and i just cant manage right now.
- Mood:
blank
My mom’s birthday was on Sunday and all she got was the bad news about Sammy, and last night, she didn’t sleep at all.
If you are asking where was I when my family found out about Sammy’s prior condition, I WAS AT SOME STUPID RETREAT WITH ANNOYING BRATS THAT NEVER LISTEN TO ANYONE~!!! *sighs* But if you think about it, its better that I wasn’t at home when they found out the bad news because I know if I was there, I would’ve killed someone. And to top it all off, we will have to put him to sleep tomorrow or Thursday because he only has a week left to live and no one wants him to die in pain. But why does it have to be Sammy? Why does this kind of thing happen to my family? Why does he have to die so early in his life? He just about turned 4 and that is not a long enough life for anyone.
And if some people haven’t seen my last two posts and are wondering who Sammy is, He is my family’s baby. He is my Maltese puppy and my mom’s pride and joy. It will not be the same without him.

Here are the steps you have to follow for it to work.
1.) Join the website by following http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?r
2.) Then, in order to get YOUR iPod, you have to do what I had to do, and that is agree to one of their offers. The safest bets there are happen to be the AOL Broadband 45 day trial since you get it for free for 45 days and you can easily cancel anytime within those 45 days after the iPod site registers that you signed up, thus costing you nothing (my friend cancelled 2 hours after signing up), or you could take the route I took, which is sign up for the "Want a chance to win $10,000? Just submit your own poem." thing and put any poem in that you have wrote (it doesnt havta be long). Once you sign up for that, you've completed the part of it that gets ME my free iPod, and start the section that gets YOU your free iPod.
3.) Now, just like I have here, you tell other people about it and get them to sign up using YOUR referral link (not mine, as some other instruction site tries to scam you into doing). Once you get five people to do it, you get your free iPod as well. Easy, no?
Now, I could understand how one might think some stinks about this, but it really is legit. Check out this link: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=82664
Oh, and if anyone is interested, the same guys seem to be offering free flatscreen tvs/monitors at http://www.freeflatscreens.com

(copied the info from thelivingrobot because im too sick to type it all myself x.x)
First off, I would like to state that Sammy is alive and he didn’t die. I’m sorry I didn’t say that in my entry from last night. I guess I was so frustrated with the face that he is extremely ill.
My mom woke me up at 9am with the phone in her hand. She handed me the phone and a card with the ER’s number on it. And since I just woke up, I couldn’t see the number clearly, but I finally managed to call them and then I found out the doctor was busy with another patient so I had to give the person my number so that the doctor can call us back. Well after 40 minutes of waiting, she finally called. She told me that Sammy was doing fine and we needed to pick him up and transfer to our regular vet. So my mom and I went off to get him. At the ER, there was such an adorable little Chihuahua there and I just wanted to pick it up and squeeze it. And when I finally got to see Sammy this morning, I was about to cry again because I was so happy to see him. He seems a lot more lively and he doesn’t have a fever anymore and he isn’t anemic anymore either. But we had to take him to the other hospital to do some more tests and to see how much longer he needs to stay over there. I know he’ll pull through this. I just have to keep on believing that god won’t take the family baby away.
I swear; everything would go down hill without Sammy. He’s the only thing to make my mom happy, even my dad loves holding him and playing with him. Like one time, we all were outside and Sammy tripped over something and my mom freaked, she thought he got her or something. I really don’t know what I would do if I lost Sammy or Toby, especially Toby. And what really pisses me off is what my mom said before the doctor called back, she was like “Don’t worry; I’ll just get another dog if Sammy dies.” Like COME ON~! I know she forced herself to think that, it would hurt her the most if we were to find out he didn’t pull through and die. No one can take Sammy’s place, he follows my mom everywhere, he barks like a little annoying baby, he prances around the house and opens everyone’s doors with his nose just to see who is home and who wants to play, he sits there for hours just licking on someone’s hands. He’s such a unique little dog and irreplaceable. He confuses everyone too, like yesterday and today for instance, everyone that saw him thought he was a girl, saying “she is so pretty!” “She will be ok!” or “I’ll take her now.” *falls over laughing* sometimes I just want to hold him up and show off that he has a wiener.
Well other than that, I also can’t draw worth crap (yeah like that’s a big surprise, I’ve never drawn anything good enough for me to like) anyways, I have like 6 commissions from Gaia that I should do but I just don’t feel like it anymore. I guess it was because of the stress from my class and Sammy, and I kind of lost interest in Gaia. I don’t know if I will ever draw them either. *sighs* what am I to do. I guess ill do them all but take my time on them, don’t want to force myself or anything.
