Ongaku… a lot

January 30, 2009

I got a lot of music recently! I checked Hello-Online yesterday, and they had °C-ute’s fourth album, Akogare My STAR and I was so excited! So I downloaded it right away~! And then half way through (it finished REALLY quickly!), I realized that I didn’t have and really wanted HANGRY&ANGRY’s mini-album on my iPod, so I downloaded it as well, and it was a good speed too!

For °C-ute, I really like their new songs! I actually don’t remember them all that much, but I really liked the song named after the album, Akogare My STAR- it’s so catchy and fun sounding! I really want to cover it someday… And I will DEFINITELY cover Seishun Song by Maimi- I love it SO much; it sounds fun and just great! *__* I can’t remember the other songs off the top of my head, but I didn’t dislike them. I thought Airi’s pronunciation of “All my family” was cute.

Now, I haven’t really listened to anything out of H!P and bubbly anime songs in a while, so I am completely gushing at HANGRY&ANGRY’s album!!! I completely LOVED all of the songs, and I hope Rika and Yossie do more songs together, either in H&A or some future unit. I really liked Angelia, but all of the songs were amazing. I am so late in posting about this, but that’s how I feel.

And I’m starting a blog with my friends! It… has an interesting title, and the 3 of us are contributing to writing in it. Except I haven’t gotten the instructions on how to do so yet… ;-; Soon, though! Then I can write random things on life that people in real life will understand! Ahaha, anyways…

I also went to Starbucks today (I helped my uncle out at his work and dropped by after I was done) and got a Grande Orange, Mango and Banana Vivanno with Matcha (matcha is green tea powder; it turns the drink green! <3). It’s really thick, but I like the taste and it’s (seemingly) healthy. They put a whole banana in it (though mine wasn’t blended entirely…) and orange juice… and healthy stuff? I don’t know… But they have their “Pick of the Week” and I picked it up for a free song on iTunes. I took a listen, and it’s not a bad song, but I don’t think it’s my cup of tea. I remembered I picked up 2 from Starbucks almost a month ago, and redeemed them too. They’re all good~

But… I haven’t been singing or mixing in a while… ;-; When I woke this morning, one of my blankets (I sleep with two, one on top of the other for warmth) was on the floor and I was barely covered with the other one, so I was really cold. And then I had a doctor’s appointment, and when I wasn’t feeling restless around 9, we had to get up and get ready. I don’t like sleeping in, but I do and feel safe when my mom/parents are at home. And I know I don’t have to record… xD;;

I really want to be healthy! And active, and fit! I really think I will join Track at school (they have really persuasive/interesting recruitment posters up at school xD)! Except, I am also in the school’s play, and we have a crazy number of rehearsals in February and March… but I want to look good on stage. I want better skin too… How do you get pores smaller? ; A; My skin is pretty acne-free, but pores are my enemy ._.”

It’s really cold where I live, and I hope the weather clears up soon. My mom said that it was warm a few days ago, enough to get the roads and cars dirty (she washed her car a couple days ago too). I want warm (or pleasantly cool) weather! ; A; But I have a nice jacket, so it’s all good~


Feeling stressed…

January 19, 2009

January is a horrible, horrible month. I know a lot of other people have tests/exams/other things going on in their lives, but i have so much packed into this one week. I should go do something about it, and I have, but… Naichau Kamo (/stolen from Nami’s blog)

Tomorrow’s not a bad day. I finished my Science homework last class, so I’m good there. But Math. Oh, Math. I am like 8 math exercises behind the class. To be honest, that is actually NOT THAT BAD, because there are so many people who are way farther behind than me. And they aren’t worth marks, but the teacher prefers that they are handed in, so she can tell if we have any idea what we’re doing? And I have a quiz in Math tomorrow in preperation for the test on Wednesday! I always fail the quizzes but do really well on the tests. WHAT?! It’s so strange… But luckily, quizzes are worth no marks either. xD;; But I have to finish the test review that IS worth marks… ;-;

Tuesday is my Japanese written exam! It would only be the first part of the exam, but on the date of the second day (to write the second part of the exam), I have my piano exam, and have to write both parts on the same day. I am doing really well in that class, so I just have to review on things, but we’re getting a whole study period tomorrow! (And I can study during my piano lesson tomorrow night 8Db. My FINAL PIANO LESSON EVER! I am so excited, you have no idea. I am no Mano Erina, or Beethoven, and I am happy that I might be able to do something I actually like soon… whatever that may be.) I think I will study during my spare too…

Wednesday is my math test! It’s EVERYTHING that I have learned from the first day of school until now, and I am completely dreading it. I know my stuff decently (the older stuff) and trig, but there are some things that I don’t fully comprehend. And last time I asked my teacher for help, I was such a dumbass, because I asked her the day of the test at lunch (I had Math last slot) and she was SO angry at me. But I did really well on the test. xD;; She probably thinks I’m one of the smartest dumbasses ever. And I have a Poetry test in English- I feel like I’m walking in an exit-less maze when it comes to poems.

Thursday is the day of my piano exam! ;_; I seem to ALWAYS get stomach aches when I am there, waiting for my time with the examiner. I almost was late because of it. This year was… really half-assed because I wanted to quit, but no one would let me. If I finish this level, I will have my last high school level, though (but that’s only if I pass…). I quit figure skating this year too, so maybe they want to spread it out more? I want to take vocal lessons, but my dad is dead-set on getting this specific vocal coach. I don’t know if vocal lessons are just vocal lessons or a specific type (I am not interested in choir…), but I just want to take lessons from someone who knows what they are doing! I took lessons in Elementary/Junior High for a half year-year at this “music school”, and all we did was do warm-ups and sing a song; I could have easily done that on my own time.

And Thursday is my Geography test! Which I should study for. It will probably be moved forward a day or two because I won’t be at school all day Thursday.

Man, I feel SO whiny with this post, but it feels good to get some of it off my chest. T_T AND there’s 2 weeks until the deadline of Anime Idol ‘08 by Desho and Keruri Aohoshi, and the duet I am doing with Aurora is… 5% started. I really should study and practive piano, and while I will (cram), I will probably waste time with my concert groupdub and reading of One Piece. That is my computer life.
