EVERYTHING electronic hates me...

Okay, I'm sure I've said this wayy too many times to the people who know me but, there is one thing I'm certain in this world, and that would be that EVERYTHING electronic hates me!

Now, you probably don't believe me at this point in time but it's true!
In my (short) lifetime to date I have experienced many "tragedies" with technology, so many that it is now virtually impossible for me to list them all! (...maybe that was a tiny, T-I-N-Y bit exaggerated, but only a bit! But that is purely caused by my lacking memory x]) Anyway the point is, it resents me!! x]

For example: Someone my ageas young as me should not have gone through 5 music players (currently do not have one..;_; It's very sad...My parents refuse to get me anymore, but I guess I understand...3 of them did break on me in less than a year...O.O! (I seriously didn't break them, I swear!It just didn't like me and died on purpose!...;_;)), 6 phones (I don't even know what happened there...My mum said if I break my current phone I'm going to have to buy it myself /_\)....have put a virus on every computer in the house (which we have 6 and we had another one but...it couldn't be saved O.O!)...more than 3 times each....(so...about 20-ish times?) *sigh... and it doesn't even end there, I even managed to break the dish washer...the first time I used it...(Now, have to wash up..;_;)

Haha! Funny, once I went to the cinemas and went to watch a movie with a friend and the movie went through "some technical difficulties"!!! O.O! I was like...wtf!?! Yes...it's sad, even the movie theaters dislike me. Not just that, the computer acts in abnormal patterns! (I was amazed this occurrence happened with my friend as well!) So I was talking to Jenn the other day in the car and we were talking about how horrible our computers treat us (the younger siblings in the family) and how it works fine (even going at an abnormally fast rate) but when they sign out and we go on...it LAGS!GAH! hate it...it goes at the rate of a snail! Okay, I know everyone lags once in a while (and it's annoying) but...why only when we go on the computer?...It was working fine a couple of minutes ago! (In the scenario above with our older siblings)
Well, there are many, many other things that have happened but as I said...there's just too many to list x] I could write a thesis on it, or a series of novels O.O! lol

Any guesses what happened today? Yes, that's right. Yet another display of treachery against me was shown by technology (GAH!) I have lost 1000 photos today!1000! (okay, sorry, it was actually 990 photos) But I was devastated! and so V.upset! I had uploaded them and it automatically deletes the photos that it had copied from the camera to the computer. But when I checked the photos that I had uploaded...I witnessed...*shudders

OH! It was TERRIBLE!!My computer had uploaded 990 files of nothingness... (below is a screen shot of the files with nothing in them...(this is only halfway through the page)I think if you click on it you can enlarge it)





Well I'm not as torn as I was when I first saw it, but it's still very sad! If anyone knows how to fix this I would be indebted to you foreverrr!!! x]
Actually I was so depressed about the loss of them that I was fully repulsed by just the thought of photos because I didn't want it to happen again..;_; (This is coming from me, the girl who is absolutely IN LOVE with photography...although not great at it...;_; But I still love taking photos of surroundings and people) Okay, well although I'm still not too keen at the moment I know that I will yearn to pick up the devil camera again and take photos once again later in the week x]


Lol! Well thanks for joining me again Thanks for reading~ : ) Hopefully you'll come back and visit~

Once again, please feel free to comment : ), constructive criticism is appreciated so I know where I'm going wrong and how to improve. I generally love all feedback (good and bad! I would like to know if you don't agree with anything (and of course if you do). It lets me know, I guess, who I'm talking to, what you are like (in a 'non-stalker-ish" way : )) and that there ACTUALLY is someone there! x])

Bye bye~!

Random #1

Hello again~ : )
So to fill in time between now an March I thought I should continue to post here : ) So this is my "Random series" (aka rambling and spontaneous things that jump into my mind x])
Okay, well I think I'll continue with the whole color thing while I'm still not feeling too lazy because it takes uberly long for me to choose colors because I'm soo really fussy on them(actually I lie, I'm taking a shortcut today (because it is currently...3.39am, although I realise by the time I post this it will be a lot later because I am wayy too slow x])(I'm just using the colors from last time x]))

Adding on "the things I like" from last time, I cannot believe I left this out, but Korean things are like O.O! so V.cool! x] Okay, what am I kidding, I'm like ♥ for anything asian at the moment...It's baddd! I mean I love it...but it's baddd x]
Sorry guys! I really will try to restrain from becoming as fobby as possible (for me x]) Haha! I'll come back from Japan speaking "Jaglish" (aka Japanese-English) haha! Hopefully not...I don't want to be a "Chinese girl born in Australia with a Japanese accent when speaking English"O.O!

Oh! I went out today and I was just passing "Morning Glory" (gah! I hate that shop! It's plotting to make me broke!) and (as usual) I cannot resist but to walk in...(and again, as usual) thinking, " Okay, this time I REALLY will not buy anything" and "This is STRICTLY just a "window" shopping trip (although I go inside the store) but (as usual) I walk out with something from the shop and less money (when I'm already poor/_\ and I'm saving for my exchange!...or at least trying to ) But today they were having a EVERYTHING HALF PRICE SALE! I was like O.O!! Like...everything....O.O x] I bought this V.cute plush toy thing (which is the photo below) x] and various other things, but I didn't take photos of them so they will be referred to as "other things".

So my latest J drama was Room of King! That was soo cute! Unfortunately the subs died halfway(I know why they do...but the think I don't understand is why it's ALWAYS halfway through the series when the subs go all weird) so I had to listen to it..;_; lol (I know...it's sad that I can't do both yet..I can either listen and understand(but not get to watch) or watch and not understand../_\ EPIC FAIL! gahhh..wish I could do both ;_;) But I loveddd it! x] Okay, I'm probably bias because I love ALL the dramas that Mizushima Hiro is in! (There are "several" other actors/actresses that I are ♥ but that will be for another time x]) Even though he's in it, I have seen better. But still good~
Cannot wait till his next drama (Mei-chan no Shitsuji (aka Mei's Butler). This drama is based on a manga, and Shinonome Mei ( a first year junior high student) is played by Eikura Nana ♥ : ) (21), Mizushima HIro(23) as Shibata Rihito (21 year old Butler) and Sato Takeru(19) is Shibata Kento (Mei's classmate and younger brother of Rihito).


1. Eikura Nana
2. Mizushima Hiro
3. Sato Takeru
Jenn!! Oh! I just thought, are we watching "Bride Wars" (oh please say I got the name of the movie right x]) on the day it comes out? Or will it be just too annoying to get tickets on that day? 5 days~! : ) Have you seen Brownie's bag?! I was like...O.O! (hmm..I just noticed...it appears that I have that expression A LOT!) It's..woah! I want to see it! It's like..EPIC! I wonder how long it took...
One more thing, you NEVER seem to go on msn! x] I'm like, jenjen~ where is jenjen~! x] lol or maybe you prefer a more "Dwyer" approach to it, Jenny. lol! you know you like it : )

Oh! I went to...uh...where is that place? ...well the place name isn't important because I can't remember it, but moving on, I went like..3 days ago? and I took some prettiiffulll photoss (in my opinion..I'm not sure if other people would agree.../_\)~ (because the place was very prettiiifuullll~) x] lol (But I haven't uploaded them yet ><)

Well I think I really should sleep...the time is now 5.25am-ish and this post is gradually becoming longer than it should really need to be.

ωєℓcσмє!

First and foremost, hello and welcome to my blog : )
I'm Mandy, a 2009 Exchange Student going to Japan(I know, how exciting aye~ x] lol), and this is my...currently not so interesting blog x]
That will change very soon!...hopefully.
I am infatuated with...many, MANY things at the moment, some of which include languages (I even made a list of the order in which I'm (planning on) learning them (there's about..9-ish?...Somehow I don't see this happening, but I can always dream : )), art- although I epically fail at it, photos (because seriously, I cannot live without them ><) and of course JAPAN! This brings me to why I had originally created this blog.

Although I do plan to continue blogging after my exciting adventure in Japan, basically I had made this blog to keep note of the various activities and happenings in Japan (as a kind of "personal online journal" as I have terrible, terrible memory, as well as to (attempt to) share my experiences in Japan with you!(But you will rapidly become aware of the fact that I cannot explain things and/or speak in a clear, orderly manner that makes sense to the rest of the world (Sorry! Don't worry, I will try to speak as normally as possible (for me))..which is (partly) also the reason for why it is a "personal" online journal x])) Oh, on the note of journals, thank you "Playboy Santa" (aka Ked) for the lovely and very prettiiiifullll journal that you bought me! That was so thoughtful! (Now I don't have to go out and become increasingly frustrated with myself because I couldn't choose one..or find one to buy myself =] ) Everyone's message was so sweet! : ) Loved it ♥

So for the next 10 months starting from March 25th (?) I hope to be blogging about my life in Japan as well as several other things. If you ever have any questions I will to try to help...I really do emphasis the try to x]. I would love to help (if possible)...But I'm sorry if I'm not that great x]
Ahh, but really still cannot believe that I will be even going to Japan! Its been about...2 months since I had found out and since then I had not heard much from AIIU (which is the company I will be going with)...which is (partly) why it feels like it was just a dream that I actually got accepted, until yesterday when I found out where my school is (as well as which school I will be attending in Japan!). I haven't got a clue who my host family is yet but that's alright (for now, hopefully I will find out soon though). In about 2 months, I will be sitting on the plane on my way to Narita Airport =D Well, I don't want to start to ramble as I have a really bad habit of doing if I don't refrain myself so I guess I will wrap it up here! : )


Ah! One more thing, please feel free to comment : ), constructive criticism is appreciated so I know where I'm going wrong and how to improve. I generally love all feedback (good and bad!

Thanks for your time~! : )
