Week Ending September 04, 2009

Dear Hotohori,

You're hard to pick on, you know that? You're so good at not letting me get under your skin! Oh well, the challenge is fun.

I've been thinking, when you went into battle against the Kutou army, I know you did it to protect your country.

But was there some subconscious desire to be among normal, ordinary men that also made you so willing to go into battle while any other ruler would've hid away in their palaces?

You've mentioned I think that you've wanted to be viewed for who you were and not what you were. So maybe going into battle made you feel like an ordinary man instead of a person with a title?

Dear Nuriko,

*walks in with tears of laughter* Hotohori-sama says he sounds beautiful when he snores...*leans against a wall and laughs*

He's so hard to pick on though. He just keeps deflecting. Oh well. We both love him anyway for that don't we?

So it turns out that I managed to get a seat for a fiction writing class at De Anza Collge. Which means more prompts and writing and a chance to improve my writing skills. I'm sure I'll enjoy it, even if there will be a lot of analytical parts. Ugh. I function more on emotion when it comes to writing, not analyzing everything and every character I see.

I have been doing a little analysis though. I know, I know, you and Hotohori are completely against the possible pairing of you both. But hey, I like to think.

Here's a little entry on my DA page: http://doubleedgesword.deviantart.com/journal/26753959/

Okay, so maybe I do enjoy some characterization analysis after all.

Dear Chichiri,

It's all very exciting, but I need to practice some more and be careful not to breathe into the microphone. .3.; And I need much better dialogue than what I come up with. XD My girlfriend won't help me, though. ;-;~ I'll figure something out, eventually. XD

My newest musical addiction (Although Chopin forever dominates my heart and soul.) is Zektbach. Music combined with their artistic skills, and I'm in absolute heaven. Plus the Bleach Beat Collections and the Gundam 00 soundtracks... ;-;~ (I've fallen to the Gundam fandom.)

I'm sad, though. Chiller channel started showing Descendants of Darkness (All time favorite "horror" anime, but I mostly watch it for the shounen-ai.) is ending the week after next. ;-; I need to finish Kuroshitsuji though. >n>; And... Sengoku Basara.

Dear Tamahome,

Hey! ^_^ Guess what? I got 97% in both Algebra and Biology. Procrastination seems to suit me well, ne?

SuzakuAngel

Dear Chiriko,

OMG!! You are so cute! You are the cutest next to Nuriko. Seriously. I like to read and study as much as you do, so I guess we have something in common. Right now I started a book called Dragon Rider by Cornella Funke. She's a rocking German writer who was included in "100 Most Influential Men and Woman" in Times Magazine. I love fantasy, so I read her, J.K. Rowling and a great deal of R.L. Stine. So what books do you enjoy reading?! Thanks for reading the letter. *gives big hug and big kiss on cheek*

Diamond

Dear Nuriko,

I absolutely love, love, love your personality and sense of style. You seem so rockingly confident, and it leaves me in awe. I'm the baby in the group and I look 14 or 15, when I really am seventeen! I don't dress or act my age, and I pretty darn shy, so that helps in people thinking that I'm a baby. So, like, how do you maintain such wicked awesome, especially if some doesn't return your love? *blushes and gives a quick peck on the cheek and runs in behind a tree* Did I also mention I thought who you were cute. *blushes more*

Diamond

Dear Tasuki,

Nothing touched down in Winona but aaahhhhhyiiii yaaaa... School costs tooooo muuuccchhhhh. I honestly think for all the money I'm paying to go to school, they should suppply like stethescopes and blood pressure cuffs and what not to us. But first day of school went pretty good. Boring, but it was good. And I'm callin you a big butt. *snicker*

Ila

Dear Nuriko,

Hiya Nuriko! ^_^ *hugs* It's been so long since I've written to you... but see, I return with a present! I'd like to call it "You Don't Know How Much", and it was a song written for you with Kourin in mind (eternal repose to her! T^T). Of course, after a year of trying to work on it, it's gotten a bit personal. Teenage angst, you see. Hope you enjoy anyway!

SuzakuAngel

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

A supercalifragilisticexpialidociously superfluous update on SuzakuAngel's life! ^_^

I had the weirdest dream I've had in a long time. It was a sunny day, and I was walking along a cobbled street of cafes and fortune tellers with a heartbroken friend. For some reason, we had to look for Stephen King, and we did find him in a cafe, although he didn't look like who he was supposed to be. When we went out of the cafe, a psychotic and nearly-bald Scary Spice walked past.

Enter Aya, Tooya, Tamahome and Nuriko. At first, Tooya seems to fancy me, but one year later he and Aya are PDA-ing. For some reason, I tell Tamahome and Nuriko that they've only been in the real world for a year, so they're about sixteen or seventeen years old. I start falling for Tamahome, but Tooya starts to like me again. Aya rushes to the mall and inexplicably turns into my mom.

When we get back, Aya causes a diversion, and Tooya goes over to talk to her, because he knows that it was what the diversion was for. You'd think that she turned into Ceres, but no, she turned into the Wonder Woman-esque Filipino superheroine Darna. She asks him to stay with her, 'cause it's at that point that she notices that his attention's going to me.

Enter one of my male classmates, wearing a familiar-looking silver watch. He's leaning against a kitchen sink, and then I go to wash my hands in said sink, inadvertently brushing against his hand. He says my name in what was a cross between a complaint and beration, then takes his hand away.

Finally, there's a race of half-guinea pigs, half-chicks. They have to eat raw eggs along the track. ^^;

And that ends my dream.

But then I dreamt of something like "The Invasion" (ever watched it?) at school, and everyone says they're Epifanio de los Santos (a famous Filipino for whom a really major road is named). I wake up thanking God I've gotten out of that.

Minerva-sensei, our Grammar teacher, has resigned. It wouldn't have been half as bad if we had Charo-sensei, Minerva-sensei's initial substitute, as our new Grammar teacher, but nooooo. We got a Grammar teacher whose teaching made us question why he graduated. It's nasty, but he's been teaching us wrong stuff.

-o- I'm done ranting for now, I'm tiiiiired. xD Ciao, guys!

SuzakuAngel

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

oh i'm fine too.,. though i found out that i can't play outdoor sports anymore because of an illness. But that aside., i'm glad that i'm a junior this year though my classmates keeps on bullying me (haha.. i'll just send tasuki to fry them..!!)

anyway i missed writing here., there is so many news i have to tell (though we're not that close as friends).,

I love you all muah....

Dear Chiriko,

ahh, greetings, Chiriko, my name is Luva, I am Shinchou no Uchuu no Chi no Shugosei. It is a pleasure to meet you. Would you like a cup of tea?

I had heard about your group from the Hachiyo the last time we met up with each other, and I must admit I became curious. I heard from Takamichi that you may be the best person for me to talk with.

If I may, I would ask some questions about the Suzaku Shichiseishi, and in return, I shall teach you about the Shugosei.

Ahh, I have the questions written down so I am certain not to forget anything. Um, let's see now... ah!

Here are my answers for those four questions...

Answer number one: Ahh, the shugosei govern the main elemental energy called sacrea, we help keep the energies of the cosmos in balance. We also protect Jouou Heika until our power is used up, then we are sent back home, and someone else takes our place.

Answer number two: Nobody is aware they are a shugosei until someone from the seichi comes to tell us we're to be assigned that role. You see, everybody is born with sacrea in their bodies, but there are some males who are born with a higher amount of one type. I was born with a higher amount of Chi no Sacrea, and so when I was fifteen, somebody from the seichi found me and told me that I was to be the next Chi no Shugosei.

Answer number three: We don't particularly gain abilities that are unique to others, however, we do gain certain traits. Chi no Sacrea provides wisdom, while Hikari no Sacrea provides pride. In a way, we all embody that in our own ways. Julious, Hikari no Shugosei, is a very proud individual, while Lumiale, Mizu no Shugosei is a very gentle and delicate young man. Zephel is often coming up with new inventions, he's the Hagane no Shugosei which provides ingenuity.

Answer number four: A few years ago, I would not have been able to answer positively. You see, I was taken from my home and loved ones, and since time flows slower in the seichi, they will have long passed by the time I am asked to leave. However, because I understand my duty is very important to everyone in the cosmos, I can say I do enjoy it now. Besides, I have made many new friends ever since becoming a shugosei.

Ahh, I do apologise, I sometimes tend to go on. Please do excuse me, Chiriko. Um... I am rather looking forward to your answers. Thank you very much for taking the time.

Luva, Shinchou no Uchuu no Ch no Shugosei

Dear Nuriko,

hi-hi, Nuri-chan~! How are you? Good? I hope so...

I received a package in the mail this morning, it was some Weiss concert merchandise. I got three glow sticks, a bag from the Das Ewige Dasein concert and from that same concert, a lanyard with a pass attached... the pass has a really awesome photo of the seiyuu cosplaying as their respective characters, and they look great doing that!!

Aside from the concert gear, I also received three chibi mascot fasteners of Aya, Omi and Ken. I'm going to scout around for Youji, and I'm also planning on buying some chibi pins of Weiss Kreuz and Saiyuki.

I'm still making AMVs, I finally finished my first shounen-ai vid this morning, it took me a few days because the maker was being stubborn and I sometimes found myself running out of ideas. It's of my fave shounen-ai pairings from Angelique and Haruka: Clavis x Lumiale, Randy x Timka (that's actually my second-fave for Randy, I like him with Sei-Lan, but they lack scenes together in the anime), Charlie x Olivie (all three of those pairings are from Angelique), Yasuaki x Eisen and Tomomasa x Takamichi. For the AMV, I used the song Perfect World.

To explain a bit about Angelique, it's the first Neoromance series ever, created back in the mid-90s (dubbed Haruka's big sister). The cosmoses are watched over by a queen whose power helps cultivate them, but she can't do it alone, so she has nine male guardians who govern the main elemental energies called sacrea: Light, Dark, Wind, Water, Fire, Green (plants and fruits), Steel, Dream and Earth. After time, the queen loses her power and another has to take her place.

In the Neoromance Festas, there have been live dramas that involve the guardians and Hachiyo meeting each other and comparing their groups, or having fun at festivals or what-not.

It's understandable that aside from my letters you wouldn't have heard of Angelique, it still has yet to be licensed outside of Japan (anime and manga), while Haruka (anime and manga) and Corda (manga especially) have been licensed outside of Japan.

...um, I've just gone on again, haven't I? Hehehe, sorry about that...

I'll catch you next time, Nuri-chan! Ja ne~!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Hotohori,

*eyes bug out* Pshhhhahahahahaha!!!

*wipes tears away from laughing* ahahaha..ohh...! Since when is SNORING beautiful?!

I've heard from a source that you do snore, fortunately not too loud. But let's just say that if we ever do something like camping or anything that includes being in the same room, I might as well either record it, or shove you off the bed for waking me up.

*hugs you* Sorry, I love playing with you and giving you a hard time! I do that with all my friends.

Dear Chichiri,

Things have gotten a little better with one coworker, and yesterday it was just all three girls working and it was nicer... The boys are always a lot more hostile, but I could do with not having to go back into the smoking area and telling them to get their butts back to work. I keep having good days and bad days. Everything will calm down, someday...

By the by~ <3 I am going to hopefully do a voice acting project this winter. =3

Kaguya-Hime

Dear Chiriko,

Hi! How are you faring? I am currently deciding on what route to take for a major (only for in advance--I still got a few years!), and it's been proving a problem as ever since I was a little girl, my taste in what I wanted to be when I grew up would fluctuate drastically depending on the day. But I've been trying to settle down with my fickleness and, so far, the only thing that has truly captured my long-term interest is Psychology. The only problem is, knowing my state of mind, I don't think I'd be able to handle conversing with patients too much.

I was wondering if there were any other areas in the Psychology field that did not have to do with directly being/interacting with patients? (And besides research because I find that to be tediously boring.) And help would be of the greatest! Thanks!

Dear Tamahome,

My sister is going to a school which is teaching her how to eat right. Thank you for your concern about her ^_^. Also thanks for the diet tips. I'll try doing that. As for the medication,I am taking a medication called zyprexa that is making me gain weight. ;_;. It's also causing me to have pre-diabetes. But I think I'm overcoming it. I'm glad Miaka and the baby are fine.

Dear Tasuki,

answer these questions:

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

hi guys, its been a while, how's everybody??

jam2

Dear Nuriko,

hi-hi, Nuri-chan~! How are you? Good? I hope so...

I was able to sleep well without anymore unfortunate flashbacks, thank goodness. The other day wasn't the first time that happened, but the first time it happened, I can't even remember what caused it, but I woke up crying...

Yeah, I have so many anime DVDs here, and I am still coming across new series every year. One of my friends in Western Australia sends me some disks of fansubs so I can see if I like the series or not, so when it does get licensed I'll know if I want to buy it. I'll be getting the Loveless anime next time, that has finally been released over here!

I have so many manga volumes I have used up at least four or five boxes to keep them all together. I'm using my biggest box for Saiyuki manga, I still need to get the newest volumes of Reload, and then there's the final Saiyuki series soon to be released.

I'm still working on crossover fanfiction. I'm waiting for my friend to send me that other one I was working on (the one with you, Shun and Kyousuke) so I can finish it (I'd sent her all of my old stories in case I had trouble with my laptop). This time, I'm writing one in which you, Lumiale (he's from Angelique), Tsuchiura (he's from La Corda D'Oro), Eisen and Yasuaki have gone camping, the story mainly focuses on scary stories being told around the campfire. It's a bit of a contest, last to get scared wins, of course Yasuaki is doing very well with not getting scared. Each time someone has told a story, he mentions either he or his master dealt with situations like those in the past. I'm writing my own scary stories for it too, so it's a challenge. I'm up to Eisen's story now, just need to think of a good one...

Not much else going on, so I'll end the letter there. See ya, Nuri-chan~!

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

*breathes deeply* I can't believe this is the first time I got away from "pressure times" again. Miss you guys... ^__^

August... well, quite eventful for us Filipinos. First, there was the (unfortunate) passing of "Tita" Cory last first of the month. 'Twas raining that time, and the mood was depressing and all. I don't know if SuzakuAngel-san already told you about it, but I'm telling you anyway. It was such a waste, though, that we didn't get to go to the public viewing at the Manila Cathedral last time. So close, yet so far! We're actually Manila residents, but from the Binondo area. (Chinatown!! ^__^) Besides, our mom wouldn't allow us because of the sheer number of people there, safety reasons and all. And 'twas our exam week that time. And somehow in the dark corners of my mind, I think I spent more time watching the latest updates on the wake via TV, radio, and internet than studying. There were so many posts on Facebook as well! I knew I just had to pay my respects, even though it's just a comment or a bulletin...

I actually found out about Tita Cory's passing from my dad. Outside the Metro Rail Transit station. Under the rain. And here's the greatest bummer: right before my UPCAT exam. Yup, 'tis THE University of the Philippines College Admission Test, held at UP Diliman, Quezon City last August 1 and 2. (My test schedule was on the first.) Now that I think of it, I don't know how I was still able to concentrate on the test with Cory-san in mind. Fact is, I didn't finish Language Proficiency and Mathematics. Double bummer. I just drowned myself with lots of food after to cure my depression. Lucky I didn't gain weight - well, maybe a little, but I do jog around to keep fit, so no prob at all! Now I just have to do better in the UST Entrance Test to redeem myself.

Now, we're actually mourning another death - not really national, but school-wide. Our former Practical Arts teacher passed away because of illness the other day. We, the students, as well as the alumni, were shocked. I mean, like, she was our teacher in Prac-Arts last year, and now she's... gone. Just like that. Although I didn't particularly like her 'cause of her strictness, I still owe her gratitude, so I kinda feel sad right now. Later, my classmates are planning to go to the wake together, but I have a yearbook to proofread so I can't go with them.

These sad events remind me of what happened to 4/7 of you guys in God-knows-how-many Konan years ago. I felt really sad then, especially during episode 48. (Hotohori-sama! T^T) Reminded me of Tita Cory, since they're both respected leaders in their respective countries, but they differ in cause of death. Sad, but true.

... Enough with the sadness, and on to the normal talk! This year, we're going to join an inter-class interpretative dance contest for National Language Week. (Juniors versus Seniors again, with us being the seniors this time. ^^) That, and my teacher forced me to join the inter-class speech contest. This year's theme is about Tita Cory, so I just got some ideas from Time Magazine and went wild. Thing is, I think I kinda messed up with the writing style, since I'm not used to Filipino and all. (English IS my forte, after all.) Even my teacher agreed with me. (See? This is why I hate joining these kinds of contests. Why, oh why ME, Amado-sensei?!)

There's also that drama presentation for English, the National Career Assessment Examination next week (right on my brother's birthday!), and I also have articles to correct and collect from my schoolmates for The Crusader... Uh oh, I think I'm drowning in my problems again. Some moral support, puh-lease! \T^T;

Now Tasuki won't dare call me "Sode" again. I'll do this if you still call me that name. Ice power!

Gotta go now! (Before Tasuki burns me.) I'll write soon! *rushes away*

Sode no Shirayuki

Dear Tasuki,

*chuckles* Ah y'know I'm only messing with ya :) And it was spooky but it passed and what not so that was nice. Was looking through some old photographs today though that my grandma let us bring home for the time being, and they're of my grandpa from the war :) They're SOOO cool ^^ I hope she has more so I can look at 'em the next time I go up!! And who're you callin' lil Mr. Big butt? *smirks*

Dear Mitsukake,

I've been fine. I'm kind of laying low for now, as I just got back from my trip to Hollis, NH.

But now my mother is bothering me this week about either registering for some kind of plan for my college classes, or getting back to working part-time. Luckily, this is once a day, but honestly it's a little irritating.

Legally, it's my decision in what classes I want to take, or when I want to start working. But I've been working almost all summer. I deserve a break. The next quarter doesn't start until the 21st of September anyway. But I know, I know, procrastinating is the death of my success. Perhaps I'll arrange something this weekend.

I need to start my walking routine again. For over a month, I had an hour of exercise per day (and several more) from biking to work and the six hours of physical labor in the college library. I really need to keep up with exercising to get my legs back into shape. I could also try swimming again, but my pool doesn't get warm enough until nighttime hours. Or I could try biking in general.

And... I need to start eating a bit more healthier than I have been. Whenever I go on vacation, so do my eating habits. I'm not overweight (I'm only 102 lbs) but I don't want to end up like most college students who gain pounds by the month because of poor eating habits.

Dear Nuriko,

*reads reply* NICE. I asked him if he snores and he's in complete denial. Don't worry, I didn't tell him that you told me. But no one is exactly "beautiful" or "dignified" when they sleep, ne?

Man, he's probably gonna have a fit. *grins* Thanks for telling me!

Linds

Dear Hotohori,

*blinks* Dude, seriously, what's beautiful about sleeping? You just... sleep.

I know you snore, so go on and deny it, maybe even point your sword at me to get me to shut up, but denial ain't just a river in Egypt you know. *smirks*

Dear Tasuki,

I am sooo glad it's going to be a lazy day. We've (myself and Nachoknot) has been out working at the barn the past couple of days and I'm exhausted lol. Then last night at work. I got there right before 5. I wasn't there TWO minutes and there's a tornado warning lol. So that was interesting. But other than that... Yeaaaaaaahhhh I don't know... *lets ya go* I'm tired haha

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

This is pretty much for THTC, actually... but I've just finished the song I told Tamahome about! :D It's an RnB song, and I also thought up this awesome drum loop that goes with it... too bad I don't know how to play. T^T It's a bit on the romantic side, but it still works. Tamahome gets the first two verses, Hotohori sings the ones after the chorus, Chichiri's solo is the bridge, while Tasuki does all the rap parts in between the verses. Here you go! ^^

This is a song I'd like to call "Right Now". Hope you guys liked it regardless of the hints of cheese and OOC-ness in between. :3 And, to Nuriko, I just finished the one I meant to give you for your birthday last year. ^^ Watch out for it!

SuzakuAngel

Dear Mitsukake,

Hiya! :-) This is gonna be short and sweet. I got that shot called Gardisil. Its suppose to protect girls with cervical (not sure if its spelled right) cancer. Can you explain what it mainly does and what's the side effects? Also, my grandma said some teenager died from taking it. Is that true?! I don't believe her, but I like to have a second POV. My doc said it was fine for me, and my mom agreed. I didn't care, but ppl say it was good that I come a respectable family that would care for me. I believe them. Can u please come my little mind down? ;)

Brit-Brit

P.S.-Blisters are healing perfectly! I used the stuff that has the antibiotical stuff on the bandages. It works wonders. :)

Dear Tamahome,

Alrighty, here's the DL:

I have had the best day ever! Well, I got out of school b/c of physical. I guess that's nice... ^o^ Secondly, I passed my chemistry quiz with flying colors!!! Geeze, and I thought it was gonna be hard! :) Thirdly-if that's a word-, I had a golf match today, nine holes, and I got a 57!! 0_0 Yep! I was in shock and I had to recheck my score again! That's the best I have done ever!!! And this is my 2nd year!! OMG!!! T-T I am so proud of myself!! But, I'm not as good as my friend Ali. She got a 39-yeah, she's the hulk!-and I wasn't really surprised. She gets scores like that everytime. She's a good friend. :) I've actually had a wonderful week. Its been stressful b/c school started last week on thursday, but its been... okay I guess... Well, hope everything is fine and have a wonderful day! :) Wow... I am in TOO GOOD of a good mood... ^_^.

Dear Nuriko,

hi-hi, Nuri-chan~! How are you? Good? I hope so...

Wai wai~! My voice is back to full strength! Of course, I don't want to push it just after recovering its strength, so I am going to ease up on the singing for a while... by that I mean I'll still sing, just much softer than I tend to.

I cried myself awake this morning, I started recalling when I was always excluded from group activities when I was in school. I don't even know what triggered it...

I decided to get up and listened to a new Angelique drama I had come across. I'm glad I listened to that one, there was a very hilarious scene, and I needed the laugh. What happened was a very effeminate-looking young man appeared in front of two others who were quarreling. One of them, the playboy of the group, started to flirt with the newcomer, while the newcomer just played along, and when addressed as "Lady", he calmly replied, "I'm not a lady". The other man with them was just as shocked as the playboy when the newcomer made that calm declaration. I could not stop giggling over that for ages!

Today, I made more anime related purchases. First, I bought the two latest volumes of the La Corda D'Oro manga. It's one of the Neoromance series like Haruka, Angelique and Neo Angelique, only it takes place in the modern Japanese world.

I also bought the second half of The Wallflower series, I got part one last year at the anime con I attended with Tash. I am really looking forward to watching the last few episodes especially. Tobita Nobuo appears as one of the main character's father, and oh gosh, I love him in that role!

Still listening to Angelique dramas as I type this, I have a lot to catch up on in regards to them. Dad agreed to buy me some for my birthday and Christmas this year: two years ago he bought me the Sukisho and Gravitation boxsets and the Gravitation OVA. Last year, numerous boxsets were on sale at the local videostore, and I got more of a discount because I'm a member of their anime club; I got Get Backers, Kyou Kara Maoh! and Full Metal Panic? FUMOFFU.

Well, that's it for now, not much else going on. See ya~!

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

I am very pleased to hear that you like music. Very well, I shall begin.

Dear Nuriko,

Thanks for the help. I'll be sure to give you the link once it's finished. (and Hotohori too as well)

So, can you tell me any secrets about our dear emperor? I won't blab! You must've seen him do SOMETHING worth hearing about, right? *pinky swear!*

Linds

Dear Hotohori,

You pretend to fall asleep? *smirks and turns her head to keep from laughing* I bet you snore when you sleep, don't you? Admit it!

Linds

Dear Tamahome,

*blinks and glares at you* Th-that certainly doesn't mean I don't respect him! *walks right up to you and punches you lightly on the arm* I oughta get Nuriko to hang you from the ceiling by your tightie-whities!

Okay then. Why not use this. *hands you a Supersoaker* I'm not askin' you to soak him, but just spray a couple feet away from him to give your emperor a good scare. And if you won't do that, just soak one of his advisors or somethin'. I dunno! *trys handing you the several Benjamins once more*

Dear Tamahome,

I'm writing a song. I know, big surprise, seeing as I've had songwriter's block for quite a while and failed to fork over your gifts... but this one's for THTC! And it might just be my first R and B song that makes sense. xD

Okay, I gotta quit procrastinating. Math killed me today. :P

SuzakuAngel

P.S. Yeahhhh, sorry to you and the other guys for the delay with the songs... but I'm getting over my songwriter's block! ^_^ And you know what? It started to vanish not long after June 25... o_o

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Hi guys. xD So much has happened in the first half of August, and it's not to say that it has all been good. Like, say, on August 1--you've probably heard of the passing of former Philippine president Cory Aquino. She was such a hero and such a leader... Mom and I ended up crying in the middle of the news bulletin. We didn't go anywhere that day, the mood was too depressing.

Which leads us to August 5, a week before my birthday. Mom and I attended the public wake. When we left our house, I knew what I was in for, and we hadn't had dinner yet, but I seem to have underestimated it. We went to Intramuros, where Manila Cathedral was, because the wake was there, and so we stood in line. For one hour. And a couple more. Then add four. Yeah, we stayed in Intramurosn for SEVEN HOURS STRAIGHT! No dinner, no toilet, just some dumplings and two chip bags plus a cracker... it wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't raining hard. Everyone had huddled together to form a gigantic roof of umbrellas, but we still got soaked from head to foot--the streets were wet too, and even jacket-clad people fell victim to the rains. The worst part? I didn't get sick. But my phone was in a bag that I didn't know was NOT waterproof. I miss my Supernova very much. T^T Waiting in line was worth it, though; not only did we get to see the coffin, we also saw Aquino-san's son Senator Noynoy Aquino and got to shake hands with him. But Aquino-san looked so different, Mom didn't get to cry due to shock.

A week after was my birthday. Quite ironic, the way things are going along. I'm quite enjoying my fourteenth year, and I had the most number of people greeting me in the longest time. I served doughnuts at school (and we've got leftovers! ^_^ *hands them out to everyone*), and they were all really good. I had dinner with Mom and my siblings at Yellow Cab, and G-chan and J-chan came over for cake and ice cream and chips--and our Biology project. We would have had a slumber party if their parents had allowed them. We still had fun, though.

We skated last Saturday, and we did pretty d*mn well considering we were absent from the rink for about two months. It's exam week, by the way, and we're already done with the first six subjects. After tomorrow, I'll just be lounging around at home, in which Mom has finally allowed me to be alone.

And that's a wrap! Ganbatte kudasai in advance with grad school! ^_~

Dear Chichiri,

All that's nice in theory, but my sister (Who is the manager of the store) said that was just how they acted. As for local groups, we're such a small town, we don't have anything like that. Although, I have gotten closer with one coworker. He's very nice, and he's fun to talk to. Work with, however... Eh..

-sighs-

But, aside from all that, I'm running with my idea for a book, and~ I have taken a venture outside my comfort zone. All these voices are done by me. .3.; It was a weak practice attempt to see how I would fair doing the voices of these characters. (All of which belong to me.) The doll bases are all from Pixelbee, Yasmin's bases. o3o;

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Hey all! Yeah I've put in a lot of research for being a jockey (I even have some jockey friends) and there is actually no height limit and the tallest pro riding jockey right now is a half of an inch shorter than me and as for weight there again is no set limit but they would like you to be from 116 to 120 depending. And I'm pretty dang close to those now lol. Well a year ago today was my first day at knitcraft... I miss that place soo much :( but oh well. Hm anything else new? uhhhhhhhh well my 2 old friends move back to town today!!! I haven't seen them in YEARS (well I saw them on their spring break for a day) but I'm soo happy they're going to be back here!! :D :D :D :D But yeah today we are going to be cleaning the barn some more and playing with the horseys!!! Amigo is being such a sweetie pie!! He was giving me smooches the other day and then yesterday he was being a BRAT and when I would ignore him he would give the MOST cutest looks like "come back mommmmmyyyy" lol then there is Hershey. He's a Exmoor pony and my god he's a lil bundle of love! all he did yesterday was smooch me and groom me lol it was SOOO cute!! He likes unbuttoning pants too I've learned! LOL but yeah I'm just glad we're there for the horses and ponies because no one is ever out there other wise!!! I mean Skip he is in the sheriff's posy and Lauri is NEVER out there really and his hooves are cracked sooo bad and the sheriff came by last week and I told him that and he goes "oh really?" and I guess its hard to get a horse in the posy because that can't get spooked easily. Skip has been getting sooo spooky that he almost kicked me once and has nearly ran me and a few others over a few time and pushed my friend into the electric fence. I mean I like Skip a lot don't get me wrong but to me he looks like the normal everyday horse y'know, like the stereotypical horse. Amigo kind of does but he is just BEAUTIFUL!!!!! He has such a rich chestnut color and EEE I love him lol well I'm going to get going ttyal!

the Nachoknot

Dear Hotohori,

*reads your answers and laughs a little* Oh! hahaha! Ohhh... I never thought you'd actually fall asleep during those meetings! Well, I don't blame you at all. I've been placed on guard-duty at my college library when I was working there part-time. And since they're aren't that many people walking in there with cellphones on, there was really nothing to do but sit and wait for an hour to pass by. I've almost fallen asleep several times doing that.

As for escaping to the gardens, I'm sure it's a nice place to get away from it all. My "getaway" has to be just about anywhere quiet and outdoors. Even climbing the walnut tree in my front yard to the very tip-top of the branches is a perfect place to gaze at the hills and mountains up ahead.

*reads your answer on the "Nightingale"* Well, I'll give you a quick summary. The emperor of China hears about the nightingale that lives in his empire, and requests someone bring her to him to sing in court. After hearing the nightingale's song, the emperor "imprisons" her until the emperor of Japan sends him a mechanical replica of the real bird. The nightingale leaves after everyone is so infatuated with the mechanincal bird, and after many years (or months I believe...) the replica breaks. The emperor sends for the royal clockmaker who repairs it, but only enough that it could be wound up once a year. So broken-hearted at the loss of the nightingale's song, the emperor falls ill, and Death arrives at his bedside until the nightingale unexpectedly returns and persuades Death to leave with her songs, saving the emperor's life. The emperor asks that the nightingale remain by his side, but she politely declines and promises that she will return and sing by his window every night and tell him about the good and bad things that happen within his empire.

((okay, that was a pretty long summary, but that's kinda the story in a nutshell. One of my favorites actually.))

Dear Chichiri,

'Ello! It's been a while Chichiri san! I've been meaning to tell you this but I've found out the guy's name who played in Ringu. His name is Hiroyuki Sanada. He was also in "The Last Samurai" could you believe that?! My hunky stuff of beef cake is in my favorite movie!!! Well; three of my favorite movies. I have both ringu 1 and 2. Is there a third one? Please let me know if there is. Oh and here Taitsukun gave me this to give to you. It's some magic potion. ^_^.

Dear Tamahome,

Humph, so I learned something new. I'm glad I asked those questions. I do enjoy writing, but my brain is on a block. I have like two pages written out so far. How's miaka and the baby doing? I hope they're well? Do you have any tips on losing weight? Or maybe I should ask Mitsukake about this question? In fact I think I will. heehee. Anyway, my little sister has an eating disorder. I found this out last week. It's really sad. She also has depression. ;_;. I hope she doesn't end up having what I have. Ya know? It sorta runs in the family. The schizo part I'm not sure but the chemical embalance to the brain does. My dad has it, I have it, and I believe my mother has it as well. Well; I'm off, ja!

Shukumei

Dear Mitsukake,

Hello older brother... (gomen ne I forgot how to say older brother in nihongo), I do have a question for you though. How would you go about losing weight? I've tried everything, sit ups, the gym, skipping out on junk food, and nothing. Should I try those over the counter weight loss pills? Or what do think? Are they dangerous? Oh btw, Tama-neko wandered over to my house and I cat sitted for you. No I didn't sit on him, I just let him curl up on my lap. ^_^.

Shukumei

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Just landed back in good ol' California and boy did I miss the dry, mosquito-free, weather here! I had a lot of fun in Hollis though, and managed to survive in a house with no AC except for a few high-velocity fans in our rooms.

The place is absolutely beautiful and I wish I could show you some pictures once I ask my mother to send them to me via email. And we have a nice pond on our property with many fish who are always biting. I managed to reel in six fish and let them go, as well as a big bullfrog tadpole. I was able to visit with family and friends and we are all excited for the big move next July.

Surprisingly enough, I've been on Pacific time biologically for the entire week I was gone so I shouldn't have any trouble getting to sleep tonight hopefully, and I've got a Green Day concert to go to with my Dad and younger sister at the HP Pavillion tomorrow night.

I've still got to sign up for classes at De Anza College, but I've got the feeling that the few classes I want to take this coming Quarter have already been full up with students. But I also want to help out a friend of mine (a former literature teacher from my highschool days) before the school year starts for him.

Sheesh! Even when I just get home I'm already planning stuff. Oh well, such is the life of an adult I guess.

Hope you guys have been fine!

Dear Tasuki,

Man, both you and Obake-chan wouldn't moon your emperor for all the okane or sake in the world huh? (*cough* Chicken! buk buk buk! *cough*)

Dear Nuriko,

hi-hi, Nuri-chan, how are you? Good? I hope so...

My tonsilitis had developed into laryngitis, so I was unable to talk or sing for a week... that sucked. To convey my messages, I would write either in a book or in the dirt, considering where I was.

My voice is starting to return, but in the meantime, I'm only speaking when necessary and in a very soft voice, so as not to strain it too much. My tonsils are starting to feel better again too, I found I could swallow a sausage roll last night without it hurting. During the time I found it hard to swallow, Dad got me noodles and pasta to have if I was unable to swallow something too solid. We also had ice-cream on hand for if it hurt too much even for noodles and pasta.

I have been introduced to two new anime series through friends of mine: Pandora Hearts and Devil May Cry. I have yet to see more than snippets of Pandora Hearts, but I liked what I saw and will watch the full episodes. As for Devil May Cry, I got the first four episodes on DVD the day I saw the doctor. If I didn't like it, I would've given the DVD to Tash, she loves it.

I started rewatching Sukisho again the other night, I always seem to put-off watching episodes 10, 11 and 12 though because those are just full of angst. I always find myself in tears whenever Nanami breaks down, whether it be because he's blaming himself for what happened to his "surrogate sons" Sora and Sunao, or because his lover Shinichiro was horribly wounded and needed help immediately. Sukisho has a great vocal cast, there's Midorikawa Hikaru, Hoshi Souichirou, Ishida Akira, Miki Shinichirou, Kisaichi Atsushi, Okiayu Ryoutarou, Koyasu Takehito, Miyata Kouki and others. Yes, Sukisho is a BL series, the anime is much tamer than the games and CD dramas, but it's still a series I don't watch when Dad's in the room.

I heard summer here is going to be even more unbearable than the last... and that was just too unbelievable... consistent 40 degree celcius days and of course those horrible fires in Victoria. This time, it's supposed to be worse... I really hope the arsonists don't come out and play, I really hope that.

That's it for now, looking forward to hearing from you!

Dear Chichiri,

It's been a while, Chichiri! *gives you a hug* How have you been? I have a quick question, in ep 13 when you opted to take over for Hotohori, what happened while he was gone and you were alone at the palace? Did anyone suspect that their emperor was "not himself?"

Linds

Dear Mitsukake,

haven't talked to you in awhile. How's it going? I was watching the third OVA of FY with a family friend and we were just gushing like sappy little girls about how cute you and Shouka looked as kids. I also cried a bit when you regained your memories after healing Shouka in that episode. It was very touching! Give Tama-neko a few pets for me, okay? *hugs you tight*

Linds

Dear Nuriko,

I have a question that I'd hope you could answer to help me out with the Nuri/Hoto fanfic "His Last Hours."

If Hotohori was ill with a fatal disease and you had the opportunity to either care for him or be with him in his last hours, what would you do to comfort him and what would you tell him? If you could answer that with some detail to help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

Oh, and here's one of those UFO Catcher Dolls I bought from Ebay. *hands you a Hotohori doll and hugs you*

Linds

Dear Hotohori,

Okay, now all that serious self aside...

A couple questions:

Linds

Dear Tasuki,

Psst! You're gonna enjoy this. I just bribed Obake-chan to moon a certain pretty emperor during his next meeting if you know what I mean. Quick! Get over to His Highness' office before you miss the show!

Linds

Dear Tamahome,

*hands you a couple $100 dollar bills and glances around* You seemed pretty willing to moon Nakago back there, so here's something that will either get some laughs or a sword to the neck. See if you can try mooning His Highness during one of his meetings and tell me how he reacted.

Good luck!

Linds (have fun!)

Dear Hotohori,

Hey, you know what? Thank you. Really. I know my health needs to come first sometimes. My panic attacks are another part of my life nowadays. As much as I hate it, I know I have to deal with it. I usually do just fine as long as I start my "thought-stopping" method I used so many years ago to help me combat my OCD.

You and CnA are right about my decision. I should've done the more professional way of going off the Prozac. I won't be going back on it though, as I'm trying to move away from that crutch. It's also been a sort of crutch for my own father more than for myself, and I can't appease him anymore. I'm very tired of the battles we had involving that issue. Long story short, it's been dealt with and we made amends.

I'm still getting used to the fact that I have to make my own decisions now that I'm 18 and legally an adult. And being rather indecisive about a lot of things, it's hard to just make one that you won't regret later.

As for your perspective, I do tend to spend more time taking care of others and less on myself. I often get exhausted later and it wears me out, but it tends to manifest itself as "being condenscending" towards others, especially my family. I don't have depression or beat myself up for things, but I wish I could look after my own needs without worrying that I'll be viewed as selfish. I've had a few people call me that and it upset me a few times a couple years ago.

*hugs you* Thank you so much. Most emperors wouldn't take the time to listen to an average person's thoughts, huh? (I could be wrong though.)

Linds

Dear Chichiri,

Things just aren't getting any better. I feel worse and worse at work. I'm alone, I don't have friends in the whole freakin' state... To be quite honest, I'm sick of it. This is about the second time I've come home after a day of work /crying/. Not because of a rough day, because I'm tired of feeling alone. I'm tired of being bullied by coworkers because I'm so d*mn tiny. I don't want to be alone anymore, I hate it... It's just getting worse and worse. D*mn it, even if it's just fake, I want to have someone to talk to that lives close by, someone I can see everyday.

Kaguya-Hime

Dear Tasuki,

I'm going to have to go with the bandit standing there with the flamin' red hair there mr. bandit who does indeed have a butt. *laughs in victory*

Ila

Dear Hotohori,

Just me again. I'm a little frustrated at myself. My panic attacks keep flaring up again, usually at night. I have to deal with trembling, hot flashes and nausea... I'm quite sick of it sometimes.

Did I make the wrong decision to go off the Prozac for my anxiety and OCD? Perhaps it was a poor choice. After a decade of taking it, I finally went off it for almost a month because I felt like I could handle my anxiety without any help.

I'm having a panic attack at the moment, and I feel both frustrated and helpless. Whenever I get a flare-up, I just curl up in bed and wait for it to go away. It usually works, but it's so irritating. Being in a completely different environment really gets them going, and that's what I'm dealing with now.

I don't think therapists are helpful in my issue. All they tell me to do is analyze what causes the flare-ups. I mean, some panic attacks are completely involved with the subconscious, so I could be casually doing something and all of a sudden feel like a scared little kid without even knowing why.

Right now I'm just trembling and it's hard to stop. It sounds absolutely childish, but could you please just hold me until it stops? It won't be long. It usually lasts for a half hour...

Linds (can't quit trembling)

Dear Tamahome,

Hey it's been a while since I last wrote you and I have a couple of questions for you. First should I continue the story of the geisha falling in love with the enemy that I've told you about? Secondly what's the difference beween kun, san, chan and sama? I've been wondering about this. And thirdly what should I call the story? Any name suggestions would be nice.

Ila

Dear Hotohori,

You've gotten to know me for only a few months. I know this may sound personal or may make you uncomfortable and I completely respect if you don't want to answer it.

Out of curiosity, I'd like to know your opinion or prespective of me. I certainly will not take anything personally. I only wish to know how others see me so that I may improve. Some people see a kind person who works hard, some see someone who deals with a lot of anxiety and mental pressure, and some see a person who hides behind a barrier of a gruff or aloof demeanor just to protect the vunerable self inside.

Of course, those aren't assumptions. A few people have told me that themselves and I've accepted it. But as a friend, I would like to know what your prespective is, so that I can be more aware of how I may act around others. I don't often go around asking people such a question though.

I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a pondering zone right now.

What's my prespective of you? You used to be lonely, even if you had hundreds of loyal subjects in your empire. As much as you pined for Miaka, you were able to let her go and at the same time to set yourself free. You moved on and found a beautiful and wonderful wife as well as forming a family with her. You felt deep remorse for leaving her, and returned to give your family a proper goodbye after missing that chance when you were alive.

You're very kind and warm, though you hide it with a professional mask. You're very devoted to what you do and who you form relationships with. And even if Miaka didn't love you back, you still comforted her when she needed a shoulder to cry on. That says a lot about you and how you put everyone else's needs above your own. I admire that in you. I became a fan of yours not out of the typical fangirlism you often see. I felt connected emotionally to you as a friend because I felt the very same loneliness and caged feeling. Even if we are somewhat caged by different things.

Just thought I'd at least get the pondering off my chest. You don't have to answer my question if you don't want to. I would certainly understand if you didn't.

Dear Mitsukake,

Yay! My first question for u!! :)

Okay, I had a golf game monday, and I noticed I left my socks in my grandma's truck. Yikes... I only got to play 5 holes before it started to pour, HARD. Then, when I had to check my feet, I have two nasty blisters on each heel! ): Its so painful!!! I have a tournament on saturday, and do u have any idea how to treat this, FAST? I have been putting some antibiotic stuff on it and it helps, and I've let it air out. But, is there a faster way, or am I just going to have to grin and bear it? Any ideas?

Dear Chichiri,

Its me again... I know I should of just let him go, but for some odd reason, I can't. Is this what love is? Even though he's so freakin' crazy and says the craziest of things, I can't stop talking to him. We saw each other at school orenitation, the 4th I think, and we glanced at each other for 2 seconds, and then we looked away... I was disappointed, but talked to my old friends anyway.

We checked to see what classes we had, and THANK SUZAKU we only had chemistry together! We had every class last year! Yeesh! But, on Facebook (two hrs later...) he wants outta AP US history. Now, I'm freakin' out!!! Ugh... Later on, I asked what he thought when he saw me (I lost 18 pounds since may 25th-my bday), and he said I looked good. Okay, I will admit I was shocked!! 0-0 But, when he asked me what he looked like, I said he looked taller (the guys like 6ft tall now!) and a little handsomer (is that a word?). He thanked me, and everything was back to normal... Or so it seems...

He went to a baseball game, It was Faith Day, and he seemed to pick up a girl, and he said that he might be in love. e_e Ugh... He can never stop, can he? Besides that, about two days, or so, later, I'm hanging at Kendras house (BFF) and we was havin' fun... Until I txted him. I was bored, what could I do? Anywho, he said that he had fun laser tagging and he got his permit (a little late when his birthday was in december...). I congratulated him, and I mentioned I was bored. He said, well, what do u wanna do? I wasn't sure, I txted back, and he said, Wanna make out? 0_0; okay... I don't even know how to kiss!!! I've never had a boyfriend, I've never been kissed!! He and kendra was shocked. He wanted to "teach me". I started to laugh, and ignored it. He wanted to come over and "we'll kiss as friends.". HUH?!?! How can u kiss only as friends?! It makes no freakin' sense... I stopped txting him, and I fell asleep. But, I couldn't sleep and here I am telling u this. Sorry... )-:

-To get off a negative point-

I had golf practice, and it was the best I ever had!!! I had a par (my first) on hole 3, which was a par 5!!! I jumped up and down, mentally, as I had a grin so wide! And my friend, Ali, shot a hole in one! My coach showed me a pic, and I was shocked!! That's my girl!! T_T I gotta love her!! :). And, since our tournament was rained out, we gotta have it on the tenth, which is a monday! I'm ready to kick some sorry golf butt!!! I'm only a second year, and I've done fantastic!! :) :) :)

-Also, I have FINALLY finished my story on fanfiction.net!!! It's called Having The Chance Of A Lifetime. Its under Fushigi Yuugi, of course, and I'm working on a sequel to that and a prequel too! :) I'm also working on a Hotohori and Nuriko fic, since I'm a fan of theirs (same with u and Tasuki :) ). I hope that u or anyone else will check it out!! I would be forever thankful!!! :) Guess I better go to bed. I had to get my mind sorted through all this BS... *yawns* Gotta get my beauty sleep in. Love u all! ;)

Dear Tasuki,

*smiles and grabs your tessen for a moment and throws it back to you* That's outta my system now.

So I landed in Boston after an hour long repair delay, and as soon as I exit the plane, I trip and fall in front of the two passesngers I was seated with. I was quite embarassed but as usual got back up and muttered "first step in Boston and I trip on a flat surface! That's a good omen!"

I didn't realize that I had also earned myself a small rugburn on my elbow the size of a quarter until my mother saw it. I'm fine, but I was laughing and blushing at the same time! *hands you a bag of Dunkin' Donuts* These are like the McDonald's of New England. There's pratically a store in every mile!

Dear Nuriko,

hi-hi, Nuri-chan! How are you? I hope you're well...

I'm not. I'm sick again... I almost fainted the other night, had lower back pain and leg cramps, and now my throat is really sore, but it's not like a usual sore throat. It doesn't hurt to talk, just to swallow, laugh, and turn my head too far. I'll be seeing the doc tomorrow. I hope it's not something serious, this is the worst I'd ever experienced. It's not the feeling of someone stabbing the back of my throat, more like someone is gripping my throat muscles and squeezing them as hard as they possibly can.

I've been trying to keep my mind on more positive things instead of focusing on the pain, hard as it is. I've been making AMVs and watching live stage musicals of Harukanaru Toki no Naka de and Saiyuki. Thankfully the pain doesn't keep me up at night, I hate when that happens. I often experience that when I feel arthritic pain in my wrists.

Not much else going on besides being unwell again. I'll end my letter here. See ya!

Dear Chichiri,

I feel like sh*t. Can't find a god forsaken counsellor that I like that takes the insurance we have. All night my girlfriend's made me feel like sh*t and she doesn't realize it yet. Constantly saying I'm paranoid, and making me feel bad just because I don't f***ing want to go to a d*mn amusement park. It's hard to walk through life with a smile nowadays, and just getting harder. I constantly feel ill or depressed. I keep getting major headaches, feeling dizzy, but around others, I'll act like everything's fine.

Dear Nuriko,

Hey Ryu!

I'm doing okay, since Dad died last December. I'm hoping to be able to work on my japanese classes again this Fall. Now that I know about my cognitive disorder I'll try to work on techniques so I can remember my lessons better. I'm trying dear to keep everything together.

How have you and minna been doing?

Hi CNA! I'll try to send you Mackinac Island fudge when the Lawsuit goes through.

Docsama

Dear Nuriko,

hi-hi, Nuri-chan! How are you?

I found out what the problem is... I have tonsilitis. Since there's no infection, the doctor couldn't put me put me on antibiotics, and so I can only take panadol to help with the pain until the swelling goes down.

Just great, it was about this time last year my brother was told he had tonsilitis, but he'd be requiring a tonsilectomy which he didn't undergo until February this year, and then he gets that infection... sheesh, am I about to copy him? I certainly hope not.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know what I found out. See ya!

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

I'm very glad to hear you're all fine :) I've been pretty good over all. I've gone through a REALLY rough past weekish or so (like 2 weeks ago) because my older dog Hunter passed away right in front of me while I was home alone while the family was up on vacation, but he went quick and peacefuly so I'm glad about that.

I start school in less than 3 weeks so that's always exciting (NOT) and I've pretty much took over care of my neighbors horse. His name is Calico and he is just a sweetheart ^.^ And let's see... Going up north to see my grandmother for a few days and then I don't really know what else I'm going to do the rest of the month lol. I guess I have a reunion for the dog to go take them to see the rest of the family and see how her brothers and sisters are doing :) Lily's going to have so much fun with that. But I suppose I should head off and get some sleep! was cleaning a barn all day and I get to do it again tomorrow AND work too XD So keep well all I shall be back! *goes by Tasuki, stares while her eye twitches then pokes in the arm then skips off ^__^*

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Ashley

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Hey all its been a LONG TIME! How've you all been? I've been good but am going through a bit of a blue funk right now, don't know why but oh well. I'm still laid off and can't find a job but I'm still enjoying my time off haha. In a month I'm going to go to New York for a week to stay with Brice's cousin and girlfriend and go see some horseraces. Speaking of that guess what I have a son now, he's 10 years old! and weighs about 1200 pounds, can you guess what? He's a horse! Me and Brice bought a horse :D His name is Amigo and he is just BEAUTIFUL I love him SOOOO much. He can always cheer me up. He's part quarter horse and part Arabian so he's just AWESOME. And what I'm going to do is train to be a jockey on my own then if I like it I'm going to the school :)Hmm... Anything else new... Well I know this month I will be BUSY because I'm going to the cities a few times, going back to the Dells, going to a brewers game for free, 2 of my old best friends are moving back to winona, going to dinner with my brother which I haven't spoke to in YEARS, uhhhh yeah all that jazz, well I'm going to get going so I'll tty all sometime

Dear Tasuki,

You really don't do anything. A hamster is a pet, like a cat.

Ginta

Dear Mitsukake,

Okay, so if you found Nakago injured, you would help him? He's pretty twisted. Let him find his own help!

Emily

Dear Nuriko,

If Ashitare apologized for killing you, would you forgive him? I'm sorry if I brought up any painful memories.

Ashley

Dear Chiriko,

What do you think about this?

Kelly

Dear Hotohori,

What was it about Houki that you first noticed?

Ashley

Dear Tasuki,

*gives whoopee cushion* Okay, once this is filled with air, have someone sit on it, and when they do, it'll sound like they had gas! Maybe a certain blonde shogun needs some payback? *evil grin*

Ashley

Dear Chichiri,

Would you ever diguise yourself as Seriyuu and mess with Nakago and Tomo?

Katie

Dear Tamahome,

Here! One hundred dollars if you moon Nakago and another hundred if you moon Tomo. If you survive, tell me what happned!

Cassie

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Heeellloooooo Seishi!!! Long time no say hello! :D How've ya all been?

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Whoo, the travel bug strikes again.

But the urge to travel will be satisfied soon enough. I'm catching a plane to Hollis, New Hampshire on the 7th of August up until the 17th. Not really sure what I'm going to do over there, but I'll be checking out some colleges since I'll be moving from California to Hollis next July. There's also a good vet tech school over there in Stratford and I hope to apply after getting my AA.

So yeah, I'll bring my laptop with me and tell you what I find. The new house is beautiful and has about 15 rooms and several acres of land (typical New England stuff.) Not ot mention we've got deer, wild turkeys and snakes in our backyard. :)

So when I'm waiting at the airport and on the plane for 5 hours I'll just try to imagine you guys are sitting with me (well, it's called pulling out your mental imagination file and enjoying the vacation, go ahead and call me a weirdo XD)

Linds

Dear Tasuki,

hey tasuki do you watch hentai?? LOL! just wondering ;)

BWAHAHA

Dear Mitsukake,

hey there!

My bro is still terribly sick. He's actually considering going to the hospital to have tests, and that's how we know it's bad... after his problems with his tonsilectomy (the infection leading to him having to be hospitalised for a couple more days), and even from back in the past, he's hated hospitals with a passion...(he was only about 7 when Mum passed away, so it was imprinted in his mind that hospitals aren't good places).

I'm not sure if we can get Dengue Fever here in Australia... I hope not at least. But, we'll see when he finally gathers the courage to go to the hospital and have those tests done.

See ya!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Nuriko,

hi-hi, Nuri-chan~! How are you? I hope you're well...

I'm a bit all over the place at the moment. I'm hyper when it comes to fangirling my fave fandoms (most of it has been focusing on Hetalia this week), but I'm also a bit upset about an approaching anniversary. On August 2, it will have been 7 years since a friend of mine took her own life. My grandfather will be taking me out to the cemetary in the morning so I can visit her resting place.

It was Mum's birthday over a week ago, she would've been 51. My grandfather, brother and I went in the morning to visit her resting place and leave flowers. Dad visited her that evening on his way home from work. Tash came over to keep me company, we watched Hetalia and Angelique, just different things that would amuse me. I bought my brother a game so he'd find the day easier to cope with.

I got the fourth volume of the Haruka manga the other day. Remember a little while back I mentioned about a story in which Eisen had to crossdress? The fourth chamberlain and Akane-hime? That story was the omake in that volume! I imagine numerous people turned to stare at me when I burst into laughter whilst reading it on the train. That's not the only time that would've happened, I often buy manga when in Melbourne, most of the time they're hilarious! I am really looking forward to volume five, it has kindergarten 4komas in it! Yasuaki as a little kid, too cute~! (And it's the only way we'd ever see him as a small boy.)

In order to keep myself distracted on my friend's anniversary, I might have another Hetalia marathon, I now have 27 episodes I can watch, have to wait until the next week for episode 28.

Speaking of Hetalia, I received a message from the person in charge of the Hetalia fandub. She was finally getting the project underway and wanted me to send more of Lithuania's lines. I tweaked the lines just a little bit so they'd fit the lip-flaps, and sent the clip to her. I'm happy there's a second season of the series, it means I may have more lines. :D Plus, if we're asked to do fandub performances of the different versions of the theme song, once Lithuania's version comes out I'd be ready to sing that.

The washing machine still wins against me, I tried washing a jacket the other day...I managed to get it clean, but the machine stopped spinning after ten minutes... It frustrates me so darned much!

I found out my case-worker may be able to get me into a community radio station for work experience, I'd need that training before I could work in one of the larger ones. If not radio, they're setting me up for a primary school teacher's aide position, still work experience. I did that back in year ten at my old primary school, it was pretty good, so I'm hoping if they can't get me into a station they can get me into a local primary school. I'd be able to handle it better than something like... say... retail, I'm not that good with people misdirecting abuse at me if they've had a bad day.

Well, that's it from me for now, this letter is just getting longer and longer... Good to hear from you. See ya, Nuri-chan!

Btamamura-chan

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

w00t! ^_^ Welcome back, guys, and I'm sorry to hear about the laptop... glad you got a new one! :)

Thanks for the feedback on the student council thing. Mark-san won; October-san was a bit disappointed at first, but she also accepted the defeat and realized that there are more important things than presidency. Same thing goes for me, because I'm not the vice president. :D Of course, I'm fine with that.

Yeeeeeaaaah, HBP was awesome... ^_^ About half an hour after leaving the theatre, I still had grin that looked so stupid Mom was laughing at me--and she's used to the way I am. I had to stuff my fist in my mouth when "Spinner's End" came up... not just because of Snape, but Bellatrix as well. I don't know how, but I love that psycho. xD It took me about an hour into the movie to remember that Voldemort wasn't in this installment, but I still ended up missing him. :3 Guess I'm just like that.

As for my SAD... I know it's not a good thing, but I'm just demented like that. xD Actually, I've got the RSAD kind, but same difference... it's supposed to be rainy in my country right now, but instead we get daz-zuh-ling sunshine all the time. -o- I really, really miss the rain.

GTG now, guys... my internet's being pretty d*mn stupid. :P I wish I had ice cream... or a choco mousse... or a Toblerone...

SuzakuAngel

Dear Hotohori,

Whoops, sorry to bother you again, but I made another tribute that's ten times better than the previous one I showed you. The song matches you perfectly to a T.

*sits down next to you* You've listened to me for quite a while, so perhaps I can return the favor? Go on, tell me what's on your mind. *smiles sweetly* I'd be more than happy to listen.

By the way, do you prefer your tunic to your robes of office? I mean, the robes must be stifling, ne?

Linds

Dear Nuriko,

Hi! *gives you a hug* Thanks for reassuring me, I'm out of my funk (for now) and I appreciate you lending me your advice and a listening ear!

Nothing much is going on at the moment. I've been busy with my job and I got my second paycheck in today. I gotta deposit it tomorrow and all that jazz.

And usually while I'm working, I sneak in a minute or two to write in the tiny Moleskin book I keep in my pocket. So far, I'm writing a oneshot about you and Hotohori that would probably make you cry...

If you see the picture my friend made, you might know what I'm going to do to poor Hotohori: http://hirokada.deviantart.com/art/Nuriko-and-Hotohori-3-130957217

I'll give you a hint: A fever and death of a character.

So yeah, normally I don't write sad stuff but if you're me and been shelf-reading for a couple hours every day at work, you'd be writing depressing stories too.

I'll give you the link when it's finished (perhaps during my vacation in Hollis, New Hampshire since my laptop will be with me.) but yeah, if I make you cry/sad I'm sorry!

Linds

Dear Tasuki,

Long time no see, buddy! *gives you a man-hug even though she's a woman* How's it been? Lemme guess, did you break CnA's laptop? *dodges tessen* I'm kidding, I'm kidding!

I've been pretty much doing the same routine for almost six weeks. Wake up, go to work, eat, get back to work, get home, and laze about for the last few hours until the cycle starts again. I'm not very fond of routine, so I'm glad I'm going to be having a change of pace after I catch a plane to Hollis, New Hampshire to see my new house.

Being an adult is still pretty new to me, and now I've got to do stuff like taxes next spring, find classes so I can get my AA, and find a good veterinary program to get into for credits. It all hasn't really sunk in yet.

So yeah, I missed you guys! I don't have anyhting interesting to say at the moment, but if I do, I'll be sure to tell ya.

Linds

Dear Hotohori,

It's been awhile, Hotohori! *gives you a hug* I missed you and the other guys!

Well it seems like summer is wrapping up quickly. I'm doing very well in my job and earning some money for art supplies and the like. I've been practicing on my artwork, and starting to write some FY fanfiction.

I also used some of my paycheck money to buy the entire DVD collection of FY, as well as the manga. I'm going to be able to keep myself busy on the way to Hollis, New Hampshire in a couple weeks.

I'm starting to get used to being an adult, since I'm doing more things myself nowadays. It still feels a bit unreal, but I'm sure it'll sink in soon enough.

I really missed talking with you. Even if I don't have much to say at the moment, I still appreciate you taking the time to listen and lend a shoulder to cry on if I ever need it.

much love and friendship!

Dear Tasuki,

Dear Chichiri,

Okay, I am in a huge ditch. -My BGFFL (best guy friend for life) has been talking to me recently, asking me some questions: ie: what is ur dream date? OR who's ur idol? Stuff like that. Well, on wedsenday (22nd) he sent me this FWD message. It was really weird, it was like: how about u come over to MYSPACE and I'll YAHOO ur GOOGLE and we'll TWITTER about it. ...EWWWWWWW!!!

Okay, that was weird, but besides that, it gets worst. He said, "if I was being serious, what would u say to it?" Before, I said it was funny, and a nice little laugh. I told him, "why not? I'm not busy! :)" just like that! I am so regreting sending him that!!! Geeze... And after that, it never got normal...

-He began to say that he got a, "youknowwhat", and it was cause I said those 5 words! 0_0... Yep, and he said, 'cuse my language to everyone, it didn't expect such a "h*rny" answer like that from me! Hello?!? I've change, and he DEFINITELY hasn't!!!

-Besides that... He asked me, the next day, if he wanted a pic!! 0_0 I was in such a rage, wanted to come over to his house, and slap the cr*p outta him! He asked me if my bf (tho' I don't have one) wanted a naked pic of me, what would I say? Simple: I said that if he was a great bf, he would respect my wishes, and I wouldn't give him the picture. We should respect each others space. (Besides... Boys now-a-days are crazier and dirtier... v_v)

Nothing happened on Friday... Thank gods! Only a little talk, how was he?, and it was done. I didn't need it for a third night... Well, I was wrong.

-Last night, saturday (25th), I was txting another guy friend, and I said let me talk to my BGFFL. He didn't mind, I was txting them both at the same time... Well, he begins with the picture thing again, telling him I don't want it! No! But, he sends me a txted pic of it, and I 'bout lost it. I don't need to see it! I told my guy friend what was going on, and he was cracking up, laughing! WTH?!? Typical... I told him to shuddup, and he didn't but he went to bed not long after that.

Then, he's so "eager" to send me it, I said to him, and I quote: do u think sending a picture of ur "manhood" is going to make u a better man? If I sent u pics of my nakedness to u, would that make me a better woman? No, it won't.

-After that, he said oh we can just forget about this ever happened. I agreed, and not a minute later, he said I passed the test. WTF?! What test? He explained to me that a couple nights ago, I said that I have self respect. He said that he likes my self respect. Okay, I was furious, and so frustrated at him, that I was calm, and surprised after he said that to me! I asked him what took him so long to notice the self respect, and it was over like that. He didn't txt back, YET, but I'm probably gonna get another show like the other days... -_-u -To tell u the truth, I didn't know who to bring this up with. Not Chiriko (for sure), or Mitsukake (I'll leave the illness to him). I wasn't sure who to talk to this about... I don't mind if anyone else puts their two-sense in this, I just thought that the oldest was the wisest. That's what I have always known...

Well, that my summer, in four days: drama, craziness, and insane life... Ugh... Why do I have all the creepy guys as my friends?!

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

I've got SAD. Yay me. xD

SuzakuAngel

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Where to begin, where to begin? Well, officially I'm excited about one thing and one thing only... I got a nihongo dictionary! Yeah beat that! It's very useful, and to top that off with I got two domains for the price of one. Yeah me. I've also tried wasabi peas and ate the whole bag of 'em. They're quite the tasty ones. Though I accidentally choked on a few of them because they were hot. But nevertheless; it still didn't keep me from eating the whole bag. Of course I took it into smaller portions. But they're good. Have you tried them?

Next, When is CNA-Chan and her husband going to comic con? If you're ever going again, can you take me with you? Please let me know.

Thirdly, two weeks away from my doctor's appointment and the either yes I can drive or no I can't drive answer. So keep your fingers crossed! Well; I think I've bored you to tears with this update. So I'll be seein ya.

Shukumei

P.S.Have you heard of the song Hand In Hand by various chinese/taiwanese artists? If not you should definately look it up on youtube. It's really pretty.

Dear Suzaku Seishi,

Hey guys! ^^

We did practically nothing at school today... the meeting de avance was held, so of course as vice president (turns out that my presidency was only a rumor! Yay!) I spent most of my time on the microphone and making all these speeches about caring not only for others, but also for our own selves. I mean, how can student council officers help other people if they can't help themselves, right? I also talked about turning weaknesses into strengths... see, I've told you guys before about how embarrassingly low my self-esteem is, right? Well, I'm not going to let that get in the way of being an officer--that is, if I get elected.

By the way, my party (Outstanding Members of this Generation/O.M.G.) has Mark-san as the president. He's a down-to-earth, boy-next-door kind of guy. The other party (Academic Achievers of the New Generation/A.A.N.G.) is led by someone we'll call October-san. She goes egosurfing sometimes, you see. She's fun-loving and caring. Both of them say that they're a bit terrified of being president, but October-san's more enthusiastic about this than Mark-san is. They're both my friends as well, so I had a bit of a hard time choosing between them during the elections earlier today.

I ended up, however, voting for Mark-san. That's even though October-san's my closer friend. Why? It's because October-san prepared so many platforms for her party that, dedicated though she is, they seem a bit unattainable. I don't want anyone to be disappointed, nor do I want her to pressure herself to do all those things and feel frustrated. Besides, October-san's a Senior vying for the top spot in the honor roll. Since Mark-san (also a Senior... ^^;) is a bit overwhelmed by the responsibility, he only presented three simple platforms, which to me seem really attainable. I just wanted to lessen the load for the majority.

So, what do you guys think? Thanks a lot and take care always! :)

Dear Hotohori,

Hi! I am Juzhaina. I am a very big fan of you. I just want to ask you a question. If Miaka choose you than Tamahome, will you fight for your love? mmwahh., (super hug!!)

Juzhaina

Dear Nuriko,

Love ya! ;) Okay, that's out of my system! :)

-Its been forever since I was on here! Talk bout a nostaligic trip down memory lane... I was the one who u said that I was jealous, and u said that if my crush was still hanging out with me, then that he might have feelings for me, or somethin' like that...

-Anyway, I took ur advice, and it kinda worked... I tried to distance myself away from Jacob (heck I will say his name. He doesn't get on here anyway ;)) and I sat at a new table and made new friends, since the guys voted me out at his table. Jerks, but they was so sorry, but I didn't give a cr*p about them. I was strong, and even his girlfriend, then, had feelings for me and felt sorry! We are the best of friends now! And, everytime jacob breaks up or goes out with a girl, I become a GF for them! Very strange...

-After all this was happening, on my birthday (sweet 16), I took my other close guy friend out, Simeon (he and I play piano together!! :) ), for dinner and he enjoyed it! I did too, and he even played Bella's lullaby for me (from Twilight). I was surprised he played it for me, since he has so many girl pals, but he did it for me! I was so touched! And, if u ask me, Jacob looked j-e-a-l-o-u-s!! :) I love makin' men jealous!

-Golf season is starting for me and I am so excitied! I am ready to kick some sorry butt and go to a regional tournament be4 I get out of high school! ;) I wish... I'm not THAT good, unlike my BFF Ali who scores a 35 in a nine hole game... Me, I score a 68... ^_^() But, I am not a beginner, I am intermediate now! Ne? Oh well...

-Lifes been treatin' me well, so I hope to write to all of u almost every week or so... I have been sleepy, and lazy, but hey! School's starting next month (kill me) and I hope I didn't sign up for AP classes! They're $82 plus the registration fee and the lab and that's about $154! Dang! I know! Geeze... Why not make us wear school uniforms? Ugh...

Another school year is coming and this is gonna be a bumpy, I hope not... Well, gotta get to bed-its 5:30 and I had to talk to u! But, guess I will get off my phone (writing to u on my phone! What's the world coming to now?! ;) ) and try to catch up on some beauty sleep. *hugs goodnight and falls asleep*
