Hi guise I am alive
Remember me? XD
You probably don't though. It's been a year and I've barely updated my LJ, despite my efforts to 'update' aka upgrading to a paid account and this year it's already debited into my account again despite my less-than 10 entries the whole year round so yes - it'd be another year of trying to maximise my paid account status. orz
(Then again I had been writing fic, and it's considered updating, yes? /dies At least I got the perks of browsing around ads-free, and I really think i's a big help - I really don't like it when the ads ruin the layouts and overall experience of browsing through one's page. :|)
So things that have happened to me recently (if you're not my twitter follower, ahahaha unluckily I am prone to having tweetspams when I feel like it):
* I've entered my first year in my new workplace, and 6 months into my new position/job. Nothing special, really - I just wanted some reminder that I've made the decision to leave my former workplace in search of greener pastures. Which I thought had been at that time. But looking back at what I've accomplised for a whole year... Well. I'm not sure if there's really any scenery to look back at. Or if there is something to look back at, if it's worth looking back to or just forgetting.
* I've injured myself. LOL. Well as of now I'm on my second week of having my left ankle bandaged haphazardly by yours truly per advice of the Orthopedics. I've sought a second opinion when I was first told that I needed to immobilise my foot for four weeks (aka four weeks of not going to work HELL YEAH) but as workload's heavy and each member is important around this season, I was sure I can't afford to take a leave for a whole month. ;o; So I've asked for a second opinion and guess what? He basically said the same thing trololol except he gave a prescription for the swelling and told me to refrain from walking around for 3-4 weeks. And like I've said, I really can't afford to take a leave. PLUS there was the responsibility of taking care of my sister (because my parents were away for a month), and that I had classes at night. I almost never really got around the whole day without complaining of my ankle hurting like hell but you know how it's better to suck it all up and do what needs to be done? I think everyone's had that experience at least once in their lives.
In the end I'm still injured as of presstime, though I can walk now, except dalampasigan and a lot of my colleagues have been pestering me to get a certified sick leave to let my foot and ankle get it's much-needed rest. Bad enough that the past few months had been hellish on my feet as I've been walking around 90% of the time. :| I'm still debating on what to do next though.
* Japanese classes have started - right now I'm typing a few hours after class and dinner with dalampasigan (who is also taking Japanese classes but is in a different class) I've conked out and it's now around 12 hours since I've started typing this lol, and I still think I could've gotten a better deal with the money I've paid for if I had enrolled to Module 3. ~___~;;; When they had first posted the class lists and requirements online they offered only 3 Modules for Japanese, and, while I'm not entirely a beginner but not an expert either I thought it best to enroll under Module 2 - after all, it is safe to assume that what comes between Beginner (Module 1) and Module 3 immediately equates to Intermediate Level, yes?
But no -- I realised that Module 2 is still Beginner Japanese Dx And that only a few days before the deadline, they've opened classes for Module 4 and Module 5 :| Granted I need the review, but really - I'm not supposed to be enrolled into a Beginner's class ;O; But again, here's goodie ol' me who doesn't want to compromise and alternate or cause trouble, so I opted to just stick it out and consider the Module as a refresher of sorts for my Japanese skills.
* And I feel like I'm gaining weight 8( All these less strenuous things I take on recently due to my injury makes me feel fat 8( I should start working on my weight again. Fuuu.
* From my last valid entry (lol in my standards) I've already gone on 4 international trips and at least 5 domestic trips (I don't really remember much now). All I can say is the only times I've enjoyed myself was when I went to Bangkok last November, and to Singapore for my birthday with my long-time friend and Arashi spazzmate, Nica - most of the time my trips were consist of being controlled by my family (durr) and being spoiled by friends who told me I'm too high-maintenance. Well then, sucks to be my friend, I guess? IDK about you guys but I hate not having wifi and a really good bathroom when I travel. ;O; It's a real pet-peeve.
* And. Fandom-wise. I've been spending too much lately on fandom goods - and yes, that's not a good thing ;O; Granted Arashi hadn't released a second single this year (possibly another though because Sho's drama is coming up, which I won't be watching despite my undying love for him lol), I just busted money for orders on Beautiful World con goods and those magazines Sho has been featured on due to Kamisama no Karutekun trololol. And another wave's about to start for Satoshi, who I have a stupid crush on oh gawd that talented manboy who doesn't look 30 at all. ;O; And then there's Maki. Oh girlcrush, looking oh-so-fine each passing day I couldn't help but buy magazines she's featured in ;O;
That's about it I guess? Pretty much same boring things. ;O; How are you guys?
And OOOH WHAT IS THIS TRAVESTY. AN LJ-LIKE? WHAT DOES IT DO? *U*
And it's Labour Day Weekend - Happy Labour Day to my friends in the US and Canada!
