You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

I actually also got The Devil, The Magician, and The Star when I changed answers -- but all still valid and truthful. I guess I'm fickle that way? I chose this because I felt that this was the closest to who I really am. (Also The Magician, but then that result would make me look like a trap hahaha.) Anyway, I learned from a certain Sorting Hat that its your choice that makes you who you are. So I chose this.

---

Anyway, I won't make this a long post but I'll take the time to say this before the day ends:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, himitsu_no_hime! Thank you for today. Stay happy~ ;D Ilu!

---

Got an exam tomorrow then on Friday then on Monday then on Tuesday. AND OH A PROJECT DUE TOMORROW -- which I haven't even started. Wew, talk about epic cramming.

Oh well, I'll manage.

Wow, its been ages.

It's not a question, its a statement. I haven't typed the url to this journal in months. Realizing this, I asked myself: where has my life gone? I didn't even notice that I was in an unannounced hiatus for so long. Still, despite my on-off periods of absence, I have no intention of deleting this journal. My updates might be sporadic and random, but I'm not leaving my LJ alone. I have no intention of leaving you guys alone. I don't even know if any of you are still interested in getting updates from this journal. If you are, I love you. If you aren't, I still love you -- and please forgive me for the spam.

Really. How I wish I could visit the internet like I used to.


But anyway, on to life-updates. ( well most of the time I just sleep in the car )

---

As for what happened during the Ketsana Saturday of Doom, well, I was at school at the time. Luckily I had Vivi-kun (that's my dad's Honda CRV, which I drive 90% of the time nowadays) or else me and wuzu would probably have been drenched. We were stuck in UP for 5 hours or so because of the floods. Driving around, we saw everything in our area -- and I have to say it was like THE END OF THE WORLD. Like a scene straight out of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" -- or was that "The Happening"?). Everything was gray, and at a standstill. It was like we were all just waiting for something to swallow us whole.

Another thing I could compare it to would be Suzumiya Haruhi's closed space. But yeah, that would be too dorky of me. (Seriously though, it was one of the first things that came into my mind).

Anyway.

I'm happy to say that none of my relatives or friends got severely hurt. Flooded, yes; but really people are more important than things and I'm just grateful that everyone's fine.

---

I spent the week after Ketsana volunteering here at Camp Aguinaldo. My choirmates, neighbors and friends came to help out too. We packed relief goods, arranged clothes, delivered plastics... there were tons of stuff to do, and I'm proud to say we did all we could! My body hurt after since we carried all sorts of heavy loads, but I don't regret anything. Knowing that the volunteering we did could help hundreds of families out there made any kind of hurt worth it.

I'm just bitter tongs08 and jae_esca got to ride the chopper to deliver relief goods. How cool is that, huh? I wanted to ride too but besides the fact that my dad said no, there were no other chopper rides to go on since Super Typhoon Parma came soon after. Bad weather = no chopper take-off, dude.


Now I just kick Nono when he shows me his cellphone vid of the view of Manila from the sky. Talk about rubbing it in, man! Hmph, I'll get my chance too, just you wait!

---

Today is my dad's birthday.

Got him a caricature as a gift! I had it made in Greenhills. I'm not completely satisfied with it, but its pretty much alright and worth the money. Concept: he's playing golf in his camouflage uniform. He's also got a big medal around his neck. Haha, at least its pretty amusing to look at. I hope he likes it!

---

I'm excited for the semester to end. Just two more weeks and it'll be all over, and things will get better. I can feel it.

(Not to mention that me, seikochan, nemurae, sm16 and kyoybb are going to Hong Kong on the 24th! Its probably my most anticipated event of the year! *o* Who wouldn't feel better after that, right?)


C'mon Aya, its the last stretch! Freedom awaits!

---

PS Is that thunder I hear D:

I'd love to be permanently revived but I also want to be honest, so I'll honestly say that I'm not completely back. I will update from time to time, though, as I have been doing the past... er, months.

Still, it would be great to hear from you guys. You have no ideas how I miss you all! School has chained me to one of its teeth, you see; if I move an inch I'll get crushed and eaten, sliding helplessly down that slimy throat. With all the saliva. And other pitiful students who got eaten. And gastric juice. Wew.

So sad, so sad. I want my peaceful, hermit-like internet life back. Thankfully I'm not too socially-deprived on the rl sphere, but that's only probably thanks to UP AME and the fact that sm16 and kyoy are in the same school as I am. But really. I want the rl/il balance to be the same, like before. I just don't spend too much time on the internet as I used to. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but who cares? I miss cyberspace, period.

And on a related note: several times I've wished that I want to experience highschool again. And to think I spent a time of those four years wishing I was out of it. As they say, regret comes last!


Anyway, enough of the mindless ranting and on to the memes! I do this for kyoy, whom I love and want to make happy. ;D She requested me to do some memes, and so here they are!



MEME 01

List 10 of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

This is not in order of preference, or anything. Just a random order.

1 ☆ Hirasawa Yui - K-on
2 ☆ Furukawa Nagisa - CLANNAD
3 ☆ Kimihiro Watanuki - xxxHolic
4 ☆ Takizawa Akira - Eden of the East
5 ☆ Narumi Ayumu - Spiral ~Suiri no Kizuna~
6 ☆ Rise Kujikawa - Persona 4
7 ☆ Virginia Maxwell - Wild ARMs 3
8 ☆ Ron Weasley - Harry Potter
9 ☆ Aya Brea - Parasite Eve
10 ☆ Death - Sandman


MEME 02

List the first ten series that come to mind. Your friends will comment with the character from each series that they think you are most like.

1 ☆ K-on!
2 ☆ CLANNAD
3 ☆ Spiral ~Suiri no Kizuna~
4 ☆ Final Fantasy (any)
5 ☆ Wild ARMs (any)
6 ☆ Persona 4
7 ☆ Harry Potter
8 ☆ Haruhi Suzumiya
9 ☆ Detective Conan
10 ☆ Red Garden


MEME 03

Give me a character from any fandom (or from real life lol) you know I am into and I will tell you—
❶ My favorite thing about that character.
❷ My least favorite thing about that character.
❸ One person I would ship them with in their own 'verse.
❹ One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.

And finally,

MEME 04

Give me an imaginary fic title along with a character or pairing and I will write anything from one sentence to a whole fic working back from that title.

I'm afraid I'll only do the first four for meme 04, though, I'm sorry. ;A; I just want to write again, but I don't have enough time to do much. Nyuuur~ I'm sorry.

---

In any case, please do the memes, guys! I miss you guys a lot. I apologize if the post is kind of long, but hey I'll make it up by not posting for a week or two again. ;D Just kidding.

Take care y'all.



I'm off to do read Harry Potter fanfics or something uh, work -- I mean -- now. Seriously!

I want to post about sooo many things -- but I just don't know where to begin.

Or where to even end, if you know, I do decide to begin.



Gah, this is what happens when you take a break and come home to enrollment chaos. Well, not really. But I bet that's part of the reason.

---

It's a strange feeling;

to feel so lost even though there's a path laid out for you;

to feel like you hit the brick wall you (thought you) just demolished.



I think my head is playing tricks with me again.


Maybe I should go hermit for a few days. Stay at home, clean my room, fix my internet life, play video games -- you know, slack off from everything in general, do relaxing things -- sort of -- like I used to when I was in high school. I think... it'll do me some good.

It feels like it'll be a breath of fresh air.

Somehow.

---

Maybe its not even me.

I'm so... worried.

---

On the brighter side, I had a dream and it went like this:

I was in St. Paul, in my highschool uniform, and guess what. I had Influenza A(H1N1)! So it was really retarded, everyone else was running around me as if the fire drill alarm had been sounded, and I had to rush to the clinic in the midst of the rampaging students and teachers shouting "H1N1 OUTBREAK!" (And how could it be an outbreak if it was just me?)

Anyway, there were even strange ugly marks around my body -- like the ones when you have the pox. So Sacla said,

"Are you sure that's H1N1 and not Chicken Pox?"

And I replied, "Hey, you're right! I've never gotten Chicken Pox before."

And Sacla* smiled, and I smiled, and Kyoy* thought we were retarded.

And I woke up.

*Literally, sacla and kyoy, as themselves in my dream


Well, its not so much the bright side, I guess, but its kind of funny, eh?

Just finished watching the Oscar's today!

( so I take off my top hat )


This is probably my first time watching the Academy Awards from start to finish (except well--see the edits below), and I must say it was kinda fun! :3 Only I'd rather do without all those commercials. (Then again, wouldn't we all?)


The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was only shown for like, a split second -- in the short presentation of Action Movies of 2008. Is Narnia even supposed to be in that category? ;o; Oh well, I got my William Moseley swinging a sword fix during that split second, so...


Congratulations to all the winners~ ;D

---

Since I spent most -- or all -- of my morning watching the Oscar's, I vowed that my afternoon would be dedicated to the one thing I'd rather not dedicate an afternoon to:

School Work for the Week.

Things to do:
1) Tuesday [FA] FAGEtc layouting
2) Tuesday [Bio] Lab Exam #3
3) Wednesday [Socio] Reporting: Adolescent Reproductive Health (RH Bill, etc)
4) Friday [Socio] Debate
5) Saturday [Math] Exam #3


Hell week, much?

Thank goodness that today was declared a holiday, though; else my Math Exam of Doom, Third Edition would have been held today. Phew~

---

* On what Oscar hosts said: this is not verbatim, of course; despite the lag being only a few hours my brain does not remember the exact words said anymore. And I'm too lazy to Google. orz


[EDIT 01] The Best Animated Film still exists! I think there was something wrong with the channel I was watching on or maybe I just missed it--probably on the time I went to take a bath? But that was during the Best Original Score... oh anyway. alabapoy has kindly corrected me that Wall-E did win an award! :3 Thanks, Pyorfaggot!

[EDIT 02] alabapoy confirmed that the Best Animated Film award DID happen right after the Best Original Score award--WHICH IS WHEN I TOOK THE LIBERTY TO BATHE. But I was so quick--I ONLY TOOK SECONDS!!! (Well, no. Give or take a few minutes?) ;o; I didn't want to miss anything, yet it seems I missed what I was looking forward to the most. WHY.

I'm not going to last a week with this going on, admittedly.

Every night is almost just like every other night ever since (first in a gap of months, then every few weeks, then every other day; but not everyday, I like to think I'm a little stronger than that). My head is fine but everything else is not; its kind of frustrating. My eyes are suffering the most expense. I need my glasses again to concentrate in class, but unfortunately they're a tad bit lost and I don't know if I should spend the rest of my early morning looking for them.


It just makes me sad that in the entirety of it all---

--nevermind.

What do I say now?

---

Anyway, I'm sure my flist is tired of hearing me emo ;____; sorry guys, but ILU all just so you know, and thank you very much. It means a lot, even just the small comment of "hug!" and things like that. :3 Thank you! I'll do my best not to make these kinds of posts, er, in the very near future.

Just, thank you.

:3

---

Uho!

I know I've asked so much from you guys, but if you all wouldn't mind, I need srs cosplay help. I'm going to cosplay Shirley Fenette from Code Geass with a group (composing of the usual people I <3).

( the shades of brown and orange make my head ache )

If you have other wig suggestions than the ones I found I'd love to see them, too.

Uhuhu I'm really sorry for taking up your time, but thank you, everyone!

---

Due to the lack of a Shirley wig I had to cosplay Milly Ashford instead during our org's con last November 8, 2008: AME 8TH AVENUE: Taking the Streets of Harajuku. I must mention that this "Plan B" could not have been accomplished without avishi's assistance, as it was she who lent me the wig. THANK YOU SO MUCH, dear~

( she wasn't naturally blonde )


In any case, I'll post more pictures soon! (I always seem to say that D: so far I lack Mangaholixxx Pictures, OtakonEK pictures, and now this.) I'll try to do them all at one post.

---

Really,

thanks so much.

I know I have been gone for since... forever, but forever is never enough to be gone and so I'm back! (Retarded sense, but just play along, okay?) So indeed, welcome back, psychedelic_aya, ho ho ho! In order to celebrate my return to the only blog I've ever loved, I shall share an epic project! *o*

Alright! A Cake Production/Hapon 11 project is just too silly to pass up, right?

---

Both Cake♥Mountain and Cake♫Melody make my heart flutter. I'll definitely miss Hapon class, Ian-sensei, and all my classmates. There's no sem like a Hapon-filled one.

Speaking of semesters, a new one is coming up. Enrollment is beginning, and what. I'm still stuck with my measly FOUR UNITS after FOUR BATCH RUNS. So, okay. I didn't get to enlist properly the first time, never got to enlist the second time, and the third and fourth one were just failures.

I really need subjects. Badly. My only hope seems to be prerog/e-prerog, but I can only get to that on Wednesday.

;___;



And you know, I need subjects but I don't really know where I'm going to shift to anyway.

Mid-life course slash career crisis, much? Yeah.

Here we go again.

Sum up the moon cycle + rotation of the earth, leave some post-its on the stars:


1) Some lies are worth living. Most aren't.

2) Don't think you're worthless. They might never realize what you're worth, but don't wait for them to.

3) Step back, and you'll know.

4) Make promises because you want to keep them. Not because you know you'll break them, anyway.

5) Say "I love you", and relish in the feeling that you'll always, always, always mean it.

6) Don't ever tell your boyfriend you're reading Cosmopolitan.

7) Mother's best advice: live your life with a condition--have no regrets.

8) Procrastination is the one thing you're allowed to procrastinate.

9) They think they know best. They probably do. Probably.

10) Smile like a rainbow in an inverted sky; heavenly, grandeur, and colorful.

---

You have to move. Don't dwell.


--raw, churning, and without mercy;

the makings of an unforgivable reality.

---

Regret for something you had no control over: is of the worst kind. Don't assume, don't fill your head. All of this is nonsense, was, will be.

The person who knows you best is not yourself. It's never yourself.
It's never someone else, either.

You could be wrong. They could be right. Or it could be the other way around.




In the end, you have to keep on smiling.

Someone could be smiling right behind you.

REAL POST

/ a skirmish of real life with handhelds:

The World Ends With You is awesome and cute. o/ I ship NekuxShiki already, and I'm only on Day Four. Ugh, Square Enix, you make me fall in love with your plots over and over again. Plus the battle system is really innovative for something on a Nintendo DS.

Wild ARMs XF DECEIVED me, I thought Clarissa and Felius were siblings but no. LIES. D: Ugh my chances for incest, a failure.

I want FF Dissidia. D: KUJA AND ZIDANE BABY! o/



/ a skirmish of real life with real life:

How complicated this title is! D:

School, ah school. Everything's been on hold because of procrastination and school. Ugh, I need to get back to work now.

(read: I'll be reading Amrita and doing the sigsheet. Which is in no way related to school. Or anything.

Maybe a little.)

Banzai!

I'm supposed to be resting, but the intarwebs tempted me, and kyoy had to put a meme, and so!

☆ Pick 10 of your favorite movies
☆ Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie
☆ Post them here for everyone to guess
☆ Fill in the film title once it's guessed
☆ No Googling or anything to that extent

( You sort of... glitter now. Is that normal? )


Obviously, #11 is there for the lulz. But seriously. I want to watch it now, wah.

Anyway, if anyone wants to know the correct answers, leave me a comment or Y!M me and I'll give them to you~ :3

Okay, I should go and rest now, before the stupid bacterias/viruses/whichever in my body decide they want to have a party. :|


Mangaholixxx Clannad cosplay pics soon, when I feel better~ o/

Okay, because I'm a dork, I SPAM YOUR FRIENDS PAGE WITH THIS!

...Its really an amazing video. Simple, but brilliant. I cried so much! ;___; At first I thought wuzu was lulzing around again with monkeys when he sent this to me, b-but no. He was right, and I thank him for linking me to the vid. It's seriously sad and beautiful, a-and I love every bit of it ufuuu~

Kiwi!
by Doni Permedi


Okay, so maybe I am a total crybaby (as kyoy doesn't hesitate to point out). But, wah, I can't even begin to describe what I feel for the Kiwi. I-I really felt sorry for it; and not to mention it was so cute and so hardworking a-and so hopeful...

;_____;



MORE VIDEOS THAT MADE ME CRY
1) Thai Life Insurance - Father and Son
I watched this right after I watched Kiwi! and being the weakling I am, it was not a good idea. I couldn't stop bawling. ;____; For people who love their parents but always remember the little moments you don't get along. Ufuuu~

2) Thai Life Insurance - Marry Me
If you're looking for something sweet and sappy and just a little reminiscent (but possibly more dramatic) than A Walk to Remember, then watch this.

---

On the happy side of things, I went out with kyoy, sacla and anriz88 today!

We bonded (yaaaay!), watched 21 (which was awesome, btw!) and I got to buy a new article of clothing (I-I know I wasn't supposed to spend, but it was too cute to resist). I also finally got to sit in the Narnia: Prince Caspian display advertisement chair thingamajig.


FOR NARNIAAAA~ o/ Fuwa I'm so excited, its showing next week!

---

Another thing I'm excited for: Mangaholixxx (and the Pyro Olympics that come with it *O*)!

I went to the seamstress today to fix the details for our patch thingies. I hope everything goes well by Friday, hee~

---

Wah the vids still make me cry ;___;~ *dork*
