All that Crap

Watch, watch, watch~!!

2009-08-19T21:48:00.000+08:00

Don't let this issue die~! xD

2009-08-18T16:52:00.000+08:00

This noon..

2009-08-10T16:41:00.000+08:00

I passed the most trash of all papers I have done in my entire academic life. And, it is a term paper. For Socio 11. Which I would report on tomorrow. That is, if my professor thinks it is worth reporting. I highly, sincerely, doubt its worth. Also, if I don't get the chance to report on it, I lose 10% of the final grade I'd be getting for the WHOLE subject.
But the depression I have gotten since encountering Socio 11 was somehow alleviated by an arrival of another document. Oh how I love Japan and its institutions being OC~! xD This time, I have been provided my address for the whole time of my stay there - meaning, I can't transfer to Jun's apartment, este, another place for the April "semester." Hehehe.
Apparently, I can drink inside my dormitory room. And no, it's not just water. =') I can smoke too, in the 5th floor's lobby; just that, I don't smoke. xD Also, no curfew~!
Problem: I don't do laundry. I am messy. I don't cook. There are lots of things I can't do. But, I don't care. Still pretty scared though. Thought about not going again on the LRT ride back home. I will go~! *just sayin' ='D*

This evening...

I laughed at Bayani Fernando. It was a good laugh. Seriously, he is the coolest presidentiable in the history of the Philippines~! We came across a news bit on Gabriela suing because of those *very stupid and dangerous AND SCARY* MMDA foot bridges as it allows peeping toms a feast on skirt-clad female students. His answer? Mas okay naman ang masilipan basta safe ang buhay (ng mga mananawid). Ung mga maninilip eh sandali lang daw un at magsasawa rin sila. xD I wasn't with my phone watching it so I wasn't able to record his exact words. But, benta talaga eh. Bentang-benta~!! LOL.
It's a pity I wouldn't be able to vote for him next year. I think I could, pero, I'm not entirely sure. If I get to, I would surely vote for him. Aliw siya eh. Our very own version of Koizumi~! xD
Though I still give props to Manny Villar's youthful CM. =')

This August, I die.

2009-08-01T10:20:00.000+08:00

But I can't die just yet.

TTT-TTT

Socio 11 is the biggest feat I would have to overcome. Or drop.

I don't want to drop it. I don't want to drop anything.

40% of the final grade for the final exam: How the heck should I make up for it if we also have a term paper to submit worth 30%?!

And then there's the conflict with the field stuff on CWTS and Anthro 172..

I need a time turner NOW.

I have my visa na. And Chancellor approved my cross-enrolling already. I am all set *well, still not packed xD* and am very much willing to escape to Japan right at this moment. But.

Current acads. Two majors exams next week. One major reporting AND term paper the next. And lots more.

Socio 11. Why?!

*cries*

I spent this morning sleeping, turning into the news, and sleeping. Cultural Night last night was very successful, but vair vair tiring. My feet are killing me.

Anyways, news.

I wasn't alive back then, but I am feeling very nostalgic. And emotional.

Something changed. Action was channeled by the Filipino people for once..

...

Maraming salamat po.

The Filipino is worth living for.

Whatever things.

2009-07-26T17:31:00.000+08:00

Last week was such a busy one for me. What's with taking care of the visa stuff and whatnot. Plus, my responsibilities in the organizations I'm in. Not that I'm complaining though. It was kind of fun, being busy for something that I have dreamt for two years.

But, my Socio 11 marked me late despite my groupmate letting her know why I was late for nine friggin' minutes (NSO anyone?). It's actually the first time I get really concerned if I come late or not for class (in any class/event/whatever in my entire UP life and this is saying something), but apparently, she doesn't care.

Nothing can thwart the happiness I'm feeling though. So I didn't really care much din. HAHA.

I'm having a crush on a classmate. Hahaha. Whatever.

Yesterday was a set-up day for UP Tomo-Kai's 19th anniversary week celebrations. And with that came the discovery that magazines often/usually/ALMOST ALWAYS tend to publish advertisements and whatnot in blue. WHY NOT BROWN?! xD

I got really famished with all the concentration it took, sorting colors out, so I ate loads with Luke somewhere near the MainLib in spite of the food that'd be available for the acquaintance party afterwards, again, for TK. I promised to pig out at the party, and so, I did.

It was a wrong decision though. LOL. But before that, I just want to say that I enjoyed the acquaintance party very much. Maybe because I'm too freaking happy these days?! ='D

Anyways, my brother bugged me through texts, saying that my dad's bugging him as to when I'd get home. So it took some phone calls to convince him to fetch me~! Good thing as I was low on cash with my part on those eggs and tomatoes our community provided.

I found out soon that my dad agreed to fetch me just because he wanted to have some midnight snack. LOL. He tagged my brothers along. I thought we'd be going for Chinese again and I figured I could skip it as I was so full from the party, and had LOADS of Chinese the past month, but when I woke up we were at The Aristocrat, the one in Roxas Boulevard.

One shouldn't order arroz caldo, or the like, there if one's ravenous as one'd just get a measly serving for Php 80. Buti na lang talaga busog ako. ='P

So anyways we got home at around 2:00 in the morning.

I found myself reading on some Waseda-related blogs today. A thing that's bothering me, among lots others: Would I get to participate in all those nomikai if I'm just 19 given that the legal age there's 20? They look fun~!! Hahaha.

The Screencap That Says It All

2009-07-23T17:44:00.000+08:00

... of the scene that made me cry on one of last month's days.

Because, I can't keep track of how often I cried in June. ='P

I'm seeing it~!!

Background info: Ohno's character here, named Ohno xD, was a study whore aiming to pursue college at Waseda University. This super short screencap is from the 9th episode of V no Arashi, a decade-old drama *of some sorts xD* starring all Arashi members - made in league with their support work for the volleyball cup cheverness that same year, 1999.

Pressure... xD

2009-07-21T16:50:00.000+08:00

Ngayong araw, nalaman kong:

Magaling ako sa Physics. Haha. Okay so Physics 10 lang un. Pero kasi hindi ko siya kinarir, ung pers exam. Well, wala naman talaga akong kinakarir masyado 'pag acads na ang usapan.. xD Hindi exceptional ung nakuha ko pero uno standing. Yay~! At kuntento na'ko rito kasi bibbong freshies ang 98% ng klase. Hahaha.
Mahal ko ung teacher namin sa Physics. Napaka-considerate niya grabe~! Tapos ung sagot kong parang ewan lang sa "Why I like Physics 10?" na question, nilagyan niya ng smiley~!! WOOOOOT.
Tapos ung first page may "Very Good!" pa. At, smiley uli~!! I *heart* smileys.
Mahal na mahal ko si Song Junho. Nagrereply siya ng mabilis when I need it the most. <3
Madrama ang pamilya ko. Tago nga lang ung sa kanila.. xD Kaya hindi na nakapagtatakang iyakin ako. Anyways, I am so touched.
I am scared. Marami akong hindi alam, at hindi kayang gawin. At, late na para matuto~! Hehehe.
Pero, I am much more freaked out sa mga ipagagawa sa'kin ng mga people. Lalo na nung isa kong prof. TT-TT
MAHAL KO ANG ARASHI. SOMEONE CONTACT AN OFFICIAL FANCLUB MEMBER FOR ME? xD

Mag-aaral na'ko. Exam tom. Kailangan ko nang mag-seryoso for once, in the name of Mother Nature. =')

Where I somewhat clear things off

2009-07-20T17:21:00.000+08:00

Posting this because I want to na.

Draft

June 10, 2009

It all started the 1st of June this year; which makes the month, for me anyways, a mix of pelting rain and warming sunshine, physically or not. But if I want to be really anal about this, it all started last February. Or January. Last December may be. The April of 2007 more so; or November/December 2007.

Whatever the case, this is all about Japan. And I warn you, this would be looooong so. Yeah. *wink*

I never yearned for something so much more like this. Well, I always think I'm feeling this sort of passion everytime I like something really.. xD I remember being so much into Harry Potter(Still do, mind you.) that I wanted to fly to Britain right there and then. Of course money *is the root of all evil* proved to be the powerful bitch that it is; so obviously, I didn't. I can't.

I applied for a one-year exchange studentship to Japan last year. And miserably failed. I felt as if my self-confidence, which was low to begin with, became non-existent just like that. I'm not entirely sure how I got through that depression. Arashi may be? Or, Arashi? Hahaha.

But I miraculously stood up again *because Arashi songs hypnotize me to, yeah? xD* and terrorized another office in school for exchange studentship applications. Come February, they finally managed to collect all the forms from the different universities in Japan available for application, making them available for ambitious students like me.

All that month, I was crying my eyes off for different, albeit related-to-all-these reasons. Because money *is still the root of all evil* still poses a major problem for this dream of mine to be fulfilled. I have bothered a friend for forever during these times, even if she's got her own problems to deal with (that are starting to be solved last June too, yeah? xD) Before March came, I managed to get a passport despite the unsureness of it all, and pass the forms to aforementioned school office in spite of not being complete *because money is evil like that;* all in the name of my love for Japan.

Summer passed and with it, the required Linguistics field school in Nueva Vizcaya. That time, I got a call from the officer-in-charge of the office I applied to, asking me to go to the office as soon as I can for some forms. The hopeful me that I am, I thought she meant about my application. I do not call using my cellphone but I've got no choice because we are far from civilization and I've got enough load to burn and I just needed to find out just what was that call all for. Thing is, it was just for me to fill a survey form given by the EU. I was chosen *along with my Lingg groupmate, yay!, and still others, I presume* to answer it.

Because I am unperturbed like that, the day after I got home from Vizcaya, I went to school and faced the survey and got internally confused. Like, for serious. Because Europe has been my first love and still remains to be and I am just. Yeah. It was just a survey. But. Well, let me tell you that I fail when it comes to Australia okayyy. Major fail. Hahaha. I barraged aforementioned friend with all these again but she still had her own problems and we kind of got our hands full that time, nosebleeding and all. LOL.

And then, June. The month when hearts unite, and when my heart bloomed and wilted, and got tired, and bloomed again (repeat to the nth power). What better off to inform me than on the 1st day of June, when else? xD It was after-lunch. I remember I was daydreaming, yet again, on things I'd do in Japan if ever I got accepted, when Arashi belted off Everything suddenly. That's my call ringtone. And I just felt the call will be all about this and I was right~!! And not, at least, not entirely, yet..

The officer-in-charge called to inform me that they've received my letter of acceptance, and other forms/papers, from the university-that-shall-not-be-named-for-now I applied to. Like, yeah. And because I'm pessimistic as always, I immediately asked if a JASSO (that would take care of the living expenses) notification came with it. She said no, and if I could go to the office immediately to get them? I controlled myself to no end and said I might come the next day.

I was thinking of still keeping it all to myself as everything still wasn't sure, but, how can you contain something big like THIS? I thought my heart would literally burst that time. I went downstairs and found my mother and announced everything to her and cried my eyes out. Of course our helper was there too; but I didn't really care. That night sure was the start of my Sleepless in June chronicles.

='P

The next day, my mum went with me to the office and I didn't care really. xD I got the papers, which includes my letter of acceptance that is a certificate in itself that I would so get framed someday, no matter what. Afterwards, we got to Chocolate Kiss where my mum bought us cake whilst I bask myself in the forms I needed to fill up by different dates.

It was a nightmare and a dream coming true, all at the same time. Holding that Homestay form was nightmare. Hahahaha. Putting it away released me from the immediate financial headache that it had caused. xD I placed all my hopes up for the dormitory application by then..

Apparently, it was a wrong decision to let my mother know all about me being accepted and all. Because faster than I can memorize the lyrics of Ashita no Kioku, everyone knew about it. Like, EVERYONE. Of course I want everyone to rejoice with me, but when everything is sure already, yeah?

I e-mailed to no end after I got the forms. To no end. I let go of all my pride. Just like that. ='D Not that I'm regretting doing it. It's already been done anyways. So, whatever.

I wouldn't bore anyone with my housing problems and how I e-mailed a bigtime dean, and still others, because of them. But. Yeah. The things one do..

For now, as I finish typing this off, not everything's sure yet. And thus, the name of the university I applied to remains undisclosed..

.. until the next installment. Complete with visuals~!! Which will come sooner than you think.

Everything's kind of sure now.

Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken

2009-07-18T14:35:00.014+08:00

Because I dare not review something I've experienced just recently, let me tell you about a spanking new restaurant that has stormed Metro Manila, with just two branches at that: Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken; located at somewhere in Greenhills' Promenade, and on the third floor of SM North's The Annex.

We ate at the latter branch last Saturday for me and some of my friends were determined to find out just exactly what this charcoal chicken would taste like. I tell you, it wasn't no charcoal. But it was so good, it burnt in three degrees: Lemon and garlic, mild, and *extremely* hot. Plus, no worries for the diet-worrying, for the chicken is charcoal-grilled~! Yay for my taste buds and my body~! xD

We had a delightful chicken feast because Peri-Peri is all about the chicken, and the peri-peri, the African birds eye chili the Portuguese had "discovered" some long time ago. xD It looks menacingly green, the peri-peri, as it oozed from the meat and onto the plate. Yum~!

The Food: You cannot go wrong with chicken. Their generous block-of-rice on combo servings win at life~!! Also, the Lychee Fruit Salad is <3<3<3.>Chicken Rappa though. Next time I surely will~!

The People: Friendly staff. Very amicable, them. =') Plus, food is quickly served, with a smile.

The Look: A very captivating interior design~! The bricks-as-walls were awesome. I especially loved the bunch of real firewood the place had going. It doesn't help either that I love nature's colors. ='D

All in all, five stars: For free food is always Peri good~!

Nag-online sandali..

2009-04-07T18:09:00.000+08:00

.. para i-fangirl ang:

SELECTA FRUIT SALAD~!! XD

Okay so background info: Pinaka-ayaw kong ice cream flavor ang fruit salad kasi napaka-uncreative niya. Hahaha.

So ayun, my brother kept on bugging my mum to make handa tonight kasi it's my lola's death anniversary. 4th, I think. But it's too late. May ulam na.

So she opted to make pasama sa 7-Eleven and buy ice cream na lang.

So siyempre medyo bitter ako kasi ayaw ko nga ng Fruit Salad. But nooo.. Ansarap niya~!!

XDXDXD

Absence makes the tongue grow fonder? LOL.

Ready, steady...

2009-04-06T14:50:00.000+08:00

SHET I WANT FMA SEASON 2 NOW.

TTT-TTT

"I think in 100 points of perfection..

2009-04-05T05:10:00.000+08:00

.. my sex appeal is 105 points."

~ Jun

SHET. If I was drinking something when I read this quote..

Hahaha.

Yes Jun. Whatever you say... XD

*pikchur from yuckie@lj*

Si Nanba-senpai...

2009-04-03T05:16:00.000+08:00

.. ay kasal na.

Hahaha.

Si Mizushima Hiro ay kasal na kay Ayaka.

Si Ayaka ay magaling at batang-bata na singer. Kinanta niya ung theme song ng Zettai Kareshi, ung "Okaeri."

Si Hiro ay 24 taong gulang; 21 naman si Ayaka.

Bakit andaming nagpapakasal? TT-TT

Buntis daw ung babae.

Rihito-sama.. Soshi.. Tsk.

I'd gladly marry too ya know. Pero I don't have anyone to marry as of the moment. XD

Jun, please wait for me. LOL.

*Galing ang balita sa mga morning news show sa Japan. Ang iba ay nandito. Walang subs pero kekkon = marriage*

Why have I become so weak?

2009-03-31T16:43:00.000+08:00

Why, do you really need to be strong?

... and so goes the dialogue between Onuki-san and a doctor.

So apparently, Japan makes animated films in sync with real humans too. And if they do it, they really do it to the best of their abilities; and cash, of course. XD Paco and the Magical Picture Book sure defies surrealism.

Watched it because of Tsumabuki Satoshi. Yes I generally watch stuff because of cute guys. XD He wasn't "cute" in this film though; but I am not complaining.

You know it serves to teach a lesson. In a grand, weird, way.

I sent a snail mail this morning; a first after five years or so. I sure felt I was so untrusting of the postal service. Like, now, I fear it wouldn't reach where it's supposed to reach.

More fail is that I failed to sign the letter. XD

I don't get..

2009-03-30T15:32:00.000+08:00

Why someone I don't know sends an e-mail to himself, and it ends up on my e-mail.

Like seriously, is this Yahoo!fail?

Pero medyo natuwa ako rito kaya I shall post. XD Apparently these lines were sent to Washington Post. Competition of making the sweetest first lines, to be followed by their total opposites...

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you because I was pissed.

I thought that I could love no other --
that is until I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes .......
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe "Go to hell."

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life.

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.

Alex asks...

2009-03-29T09:47:00.000+08:00

Alex: Kuya Tony, mahal mo ba si Mama Gina?

Kuya Tony laughs.

Alex: Mama Gina, ikaw, mahal mo ba si Kuya Tony?

XDXDXD

The Buzz, home edition, ensued.

...

Alex: Kuya Tony, mahal mo nga si Mama Gina?

Kuya Tony: Gusto mo nang totoong sagot?!

And there I was, and my brothers and Alex's mum, secretly hoping to eternity that he'd say 'yes...'

Kuya Tony: Hindi~!!

My father's leaving for America later.

We made punta sa Mall of Asia yesternight.

And participated in the Earth Hour unconsciously~!! Yatta. XD

Astig ung Razon's. Candlelit cheverness nung 8:30.

But my brother wanted to eat at Ongpin. Again.

I said I'm sick of it. For the first time. Growth~!! Haha.

And so we went North Park hunting.

Walangya. We made punta pa sa Makati.

And filled ourselves with, yes, Chinese food.

What's with Chinese food ba?

We then went to The Fort. And I slept sa sasakyan. Hahaha.

You gotta love obnoxious kids like Alex sometimes.

So, ayun.

Chever.

Isa lang naman...

2009-03-25T16:31:00.000+08:00

.. ang pangarap ko sa buhay.

Ang maging masaya.

Pero sadyang hadlang ang pera. O kawalan ko ng pera.

Natatawa ako pero gusto kong umiyak.

I'm serious.

TTTTT-TTTTT

Sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mga pag-a-upload ng mga tao, nadedepress ako. I have never desired for a calendar this much in my life.

Hahahahahaha.

Dumagdag pa ang pesteng DVD na 'yan na hindi ko naman mapapanood eh iniyakan ko na ung unang teaser pikchur na nakita ko. Sad.

Pero kasi napakalaking achievement un eh. 70,000 people. 70,000 humans who share the same passion as mine. In a big, special, open space. With fireworks and waters and boys who perform wholeheartedly.

Hai naku. Next time, don't make me like anything. Ever.

Uso ang 'pag reminisce ng MaSci days~!!

Potek. Dalawang linggo na lang, ano ba.. Grr.

Naalala ko lang ung napanood ko kanina. Tungkol sa isang medical student at sa kanyang amang manggagamot. Tungkol sa isang manunulat at sa kanyang kabiyak.

Talagang ang hindi pagsasalita ay pagsasalita rin.

TTT-TTT

Sa pagkakaibigan na matatapos na bukas ng gabi..

Mukhang may pangatlo na sa listahan ng mga dramang kinaiibigan ko.

Pag-ibig. Paghihiganti. Kamatayan.

Pa'no na kaya sa pang-apat? XDXDXD

Hahaha. May common factor pala 'tong tatlo. Hahahahaha.

Whaddyaknow, Oguri Shun...

2009-03-22T16:43:00.000+08:00

... would smile with Jun once more.

My display image in YM was foreshadowing~!! Hahahahaha.

April 17 can't get any nearer. And so we wait.

(Why do I get all Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with that last sentence? LOL.)

The pains...

2009-03-21T12:37:00.000+08:00

.. of being born a female take toll.

I am sick.

Mum's still in Mindanao; but apparently would be back this coming Wednesday. The house is literally a mess. We fear.

Dad's leaving for America on the 29th.

Lastly, the rest of the world still suffers from recession whilst a stupid boyband, and their lovely staff, build boats out of gigantic Lego pieces to ride on for kilometers on end, to be shown on Japanese primetime television.

But really, why do I love those stupid people?

Yet, why am I not concentrating on acads? I still have requirements: PaperSSSSS, examSS, reports, make-up cheverness to accomplish for ALL of my subjects~!!

Two weeks more. Just two weeks more~!!

TTT-TTT

Paper(s) Break

2009-03-19T15:52:00.000+08:00

Here I am struggling for ideas to put on all four papers for MuL 13 due tomorrow..

..and Wikipedia-ing Jerry Yan again, after so many years.

Ah, so old. XD

But I really was in love with him. Haha.

I even wished that my dad still worked in Taiwan.

*Me and my obsessing self. Tsk.*

I wonder when I'd get tired of it all?

What is the difference between 'wind' and 'air?'

The former blows on its own accord.

The latter exists to be breathed by you and me.

Shet.

Is their a difference between 'fate' and 'destiny?'

The latter is self-determined.

The former is imposed by external factors and or beings.

I do not have a fate. I have a destiny.

Japan, just you wait.

Words are powerful.

Why Paulo Coelho rocks my socks.

2009-03-16T14:16:00.000+08:00

In my attempt to cram The Alchemist in my brain for tomorrow's quiz in Eng 12, I fought my being against e-books and went on a search.

Thank God I had. I've just read the most helpful introduction to a book ever.

Coelho says there are four factors that hinder us humans from reaching our goal:

We are told from childhood that having such and such dreams are impossible.
Love - fear of giving up everything, and everyone, to follow that dream.
Defeats - that when we get over our giving up people's expectations in us, we concern ourselves with committing mistakes. That everything we gave up for was useless.
Upon a couple more steps onto reaching that goal, we hesitate. We feel guilt, looking around to those who failed in their journeys, and thinking that what we've done so far doesn't make us deserving of what we want (even though we worked our asses off for it).

And for his final paragraph, I shall type it here as a whole:

This (referring to the fourth) is the most dangerous of the obstacles because it has a kind of saintly aura about it: renouncing joy and conquest. But if you believe yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, then you become an instrument of God, you help the Soul of the World, and you understand why you are here.

~ Coelho, as translated by Costa, M.J.

I deserve every failure, and every accomplishment I've gotten until now.

My final words?

WALANGYA KA KUNG SINO KA MANG PINAHIRAM KO NG LIBRO KONG 'THE ALCHEMIST.' IBALIK MO NA SIYA PLEASE.

I'm serious. TT-TT

What enables the mud...

2009-03-15T16:08:00.000+08:00

... to make lotus flowers bloom?

Hahaha. So naaawa naman ako sa character ni Korean Akira sa Korean HYD. XD Grabe, sisingitan na nga lang siya ng emo moment, hindi pa tinuluy-tuloy. What was that, a mear five minutes?! So sad..

At feeling ko tuloy my hidden desire siya kay Kim Bum. Haha.

Well, who doesn't? LOL. In my case though, hindi siya hidden. <3

Sunken Garden~!! Hahaha. Reminds me of the long paper we have to write on it, relating to the Tragedy of the Commons. Anthro 132. Nakow.

Sometimes, positive views hurt, 'ya know. XDXDXD Lalo na 'pag medyo wala na talagang pag-asa.

Anyhoos, ansaya mag-karaoke without a karaoke machine sa Sunken. Shet talaga. Hahaha. Tapos SM Marikina after~!! Circle-themed siya, mahusay~!!

Grabe, perstaym kong maging pulubi ng tuluyan. 'pag uwi ko, tumataginting na sampumpiso na lang laman ng wallet ko. Kundi pa kami biniyayaan ng quasi-free foodz, 'di ko na alam kung saan ako pupulutin. Doumo salamat very much!

Things fail when you need them the most. Sandals, LRT-2, ano ba? Hehehe.

What are overpasses for? TT-TT

I decided to be a lotus. I swear I'm over with feeling disheartened on people who don't appreciate my cuteness. Or those pretending to. It is their loss.

What I can do, I would. What I can't, I won't. This has always been the case anyhows.

I shall rant. But I shall never be fazed, ever.

Then again, I'm known to eat my words like how I'm doing with star apples nowadays.

Star apples, I you~!!

So then, Sho too has a drama. And I have field school this summer. *cries*
