Busy again. I miss the the holidays. -sigh-
Yep!
No luck. I haven't even started searching for it since I was forced to do some school related things. :/
I don't think MEan girls is your type of movie. But it has many funny scenes.

Speaking of shows, have you watched National Treasure before?

Vacations are too short for me. And even if i did have my vacation, i still have to meet my classmates for a group assignment. I barely had time to enjoy my holidays fully. -sigh- But enough complaining from me.  Exactly. It's about this girl, who is an american who lived her childhood in africa, then got into highschool in the states. the girl is played by Lindsay Lohan. It's one of those teenage shows with girls fighting over boys and backstabbing each other. New students trying to fit in and wanting to be popular. that kind of movie Of course! I watched both national treasures! The one with Nicholas cage am i right?? It was a great movie. ^^ |

*hugs* Hopefully things are more predictable once you start working? Do you have any plans to continue in the future?
=) Hmmmm might check it out when I'm stressed later in the semester. I should stop being too serious about my work. Well serious till the point of getting nervous.
=3 Yup! Want to watch it! Especially after reading Dan Brown's Lost symbol. Darn pyramid and American dollar bills. XP
The Miyazaki Club is up! *happy* Haha what do you feel about free video streaming and/or youtube videos? *thinks it'll be fun if we can have a Miyazaki movie night* =3

COOL SIGGIE!! I still wonder how you make your siggies!!! Well, it would be cool to have things easy for awhile, but i wouldn't want it to be too predictable since that would make life boring. XD Continue what? It's natural to be anxious but too much of it could be bad. If you are stressed, you could always ask for someone's assistance. That way your work load will be lesser. I've been there too, and I find it easier if I have people around to help. LOL! Yeah! There are so many movies I want to watch. DVDs are expensive though and downloading them from the internet could be risky. :/ Sure! I'm not an expert on that sadly I could really use your help on that. What do we have to do first? |

Thanks a lot! ^^ But I didn't make this one. A member on another RPing site did. =3 I like her stuff and am hoping to be able to make some of the things she can in the future.
Continue studying. XP *agrees* Yeah. I kind of feel the same way, but I'm a bit afraid that working will definitely be predictable somehow. Haha it does take a lot of effort to find the silver lining some days. I wish it was easier to be less wrapped up in one's own problems.
*hugs* Thanks Frappe. I am actually going to do that. Just had a heart to heart with my best friend. It helps to rant at times. Lol... I think being crazy online helps too. Does thinking about your muses help you through your day? XP
*nods* Never know what is going to happen with the next download. =/ What are some movies you'd like to watch? =) *has a few unwatched ones on her list* *is sure there are more*
Well I guess we can always vote and see what movie we should watch? =3 After we decided on the movie, we can discuss how we go about accessing it (we can recommend sites, etc to one another). When we are done, we can discuss. No spoilers are to be released before the end of the actual movie day?
Not too sure what you think of the above. =P But that's the best I can come up with at the moment.

I like her style too. ^^ I really have no talent for those photo edit things or drawing them digitally. XD Hmmm, i do have plans in taking up fine arts in the future. I'll have to save some money first though, so I'll have to work as a nurse. ^^ There are many distractions out there that will make you forget your problems for awhile. But if the problem bothers you too much, better solve it as soon as you can. Someday, you'll look back at those problems and feel proud that you solved or got over them  That's a good thing that you talked to your best buddy about it. Even if they didn't really say anything, it still makes you feel lighter after telling them everything. XD Yeah, my muses helped me a lot during hard times. They act like a 'conscience'. They have different views on a problem so they kind of argue on many things but I'm used to it. I write everything down on my journal and my muses just stand there and comment. They make me laugh too. And people who see me laugh by myself would think I've gone mad. Ah, how about pirates of the Caribbean 4? Or galking? And the last harry potter movie?? XD I watched Black Swan recently and it was freaky LOL Hmm. It sounds cool. I imagine we need a separate thread for a Miyazaki movie request then another for the a thread where the links to that movie would be showed. ^^ Was that what was on your mind? I like the sound of Movie day. Maybe we could even have movie viewings every week??? |

Fine arts! Which branch do you intend to concentrate on? *pauses* Do they have different specialties for such a degree? *is thinking of NAFA (Nayang Academy of Fine Arts)*
^^ I hope I can soon. It seems a bit cyclical at times. Like hitting the same dead end. =/ Some can be solved quickly not others.
Lol hurray for muses! =P Must be interesting to hear their comments. Would Frappe be the loudest of the lot? XD I can imagine her trying to cheer you up.
Haven’t heard of Black Swan, but Pirates of the Caribbean 4 is on my list. So is Red Riding Hood and the last installment of Harry Potter. =D And Season of the Witch!
Honestly, I think Deathly Hallows Pt 1 was actually one of the Harry Potter movies I actually enjoyed. X3 I didn’t quite like a number of them. *feels bad* How about you? Have you seen the latest one yet?
=P Having a request thread sounds good. But I think we might want to check with Comma about putting up links and such. *worried* Just remembered that some websites might have things written in their terms and conditions about putting up such links. I could be wrong. ^^; But I think it’s better to be safe than sorry?
Weekly movie viewing sounds fun! xD *would love to watch some of them again*

LOL, i think you know more about fine arts than me. I had my interest set on fine arts since i was young, but since it was expensive and it doesn't show much promise for me to be successful, my parents advised against it and convinced me to take up nursing instead. :/ I agree. Life's a cycle, sometimes you're up sometimes down. So, i like to remind myself that what I'm feeling now, sadness or happiness, is temporary. Change is constant. Maybe that was way off topic but i think the two of them relate. You are absolutely correct about Frappe being the loudest. She has strange or violent ways to cheer me up. Like that one time i got depressed because i couldn't get a novel i wanted and she proposed she'd steal the book for me. Also if someone was mean to me, she'd brag her shot gun and threatens to use it on that mean person. I'm proud of her. LOL How about you and your muses? How do you deal with problems? Woah, Black Swan was shown just last year, it's probably available on dvd now. I recommend it. It might give you a little headache. After i watched the movie i started to worry that i might go crazy too. Wah?? red riding hood?? gotta look that up!! XD Nope. Have not seen harry potter 7 part 1. I heard that it was one of the best movies they made. I liked harry potter 1, 2 and 4. And I think the 7th movie will be the last one I'm going to like. XD Thank God you reminded me about that. ^^ I don't know how to ask comma though. I doubt she'll agree esp. since this involves rules. -sigh- I might take that request thread though. I like the idea =3 |

Haha I don’t think so. I only happen to hear a bit more because I have a friend (whom I lost touch with) doing a fine arts degree. And Singapore keeps advertising NAFA. Other than that, I have no idea at all what it’ll be like to study a fine arts degree. Maybe you’ll be able to tell me when you do so? XD *thinks it’ll be interesting to find out*
X3 Change is constant. I like that a lot. Comforting to know I guess. I can’t see beyond it at times. I just feel trapped. I know that I have to learn to be more positive. *wishes there was a formula* I guess it won’t help to trivialize your own experiences?
Awww she’s certainly a loyal companion. *would be proud of a muse like that too* How do your other muses try to cheer you up? =D
It depends on the muse in question. Dion will always be critical. Bartho will try to over rationalize things (think typical philosopher. No one is right, no one is wrong). Qwertel will be the type to cry with you. Rucran will try to seek a compromise that benefits everyone. Philippes believes a little flirting will help. Amelia simply kills off anyone who annoys her (so I tend to avoid her). Erin believes in making (coercing will be a better word) people follow her suggestions. Selena… she can’t be bothered most of the time. The kidlings are still too young. But they are just as different. I usually will go to Qwertel first. But lately I realized that Ruc has a point. The best will be to compromise (most of the time).
xP So yeah. I tend to rant or debate internally. I am trying to rant less. I know my friends probably have a lot to deal with as well. Trading sob stories occasionally is cathartic and mutually beneficial. Music and rping and gaming help as well. RPing and gaming give me the chance to slip into a different persona and forget my problems momentarily.
It sounds amazing. Sad but mind blowing! =D I will definitely try to watch it. Did you cry when you watch it? I bet the ending is a real tear jerker.
Haha I liked 2 too! Though I prefer 3 to 4. 7 is the best out of the latter movies. *reserving judgment till part 2 is out* Hope you’ll get to watch it soon. *gushing* I love the scene in Goderic’s Hollow. It was as sad as it was in the book. *likes watching Hermione create the wreath* It’s … I don’t know. It’s one of the more memorable scenes. *thinks it shows a side of Hermione that makes you go awwwww*
*hugs* I hope you’ll figure out how to. =/ Unless we can read the Terms and Conditions beforehand then we can clarify with her?
=D Oh well, but the request thread is good enough.
*pauses* Grave of the Fireflies is by Miyazaki too!?!?!

LOL. I'll make sure that i will be able to implement those plans. All my life i have been following what my parents tell me because i can't decide things on my own. i'm trying to be more independent now and making my own choices comes with it. Anyway, i want to pursue a career wherein i could bring out my full potential. i don't think i have passion for nursing. I prefer the arts. XD yes. We might as well take life as it is and do our best to make things good for us and everyone else. XD believe, i know, it's very difficult to maintain a positive view on things esp. when everything around seems to be falling apart. lol, you are right, i wish things were much simplier. ranting helps a little i guess. at least it can get things off your things. but we should think about how others are going to feel when we rant at them. -giggles= your muses are so adorable. Well. java is rather strict, always stating facts and all then caramel is like the older sister type, comforting and always tells me to do what is right and what is best. yume ignores me. keanne tries to make me laugh. and frappe, you already know. XP. You're right! It did make me cry during the last part. Just afew tears. It made reflect though. I was afraid i would go crazy like Nina because i've suffered some pressures too. :/ uh, i'm afraid i already forgot the contents of the seventh book. I only borrowed the book so i couldn't re read it. I do plan to watch it soon. just waiting for a good dvd copy or a free download site.  We'll work things out. |

=) Go Frappe! *likes it when people start taking their life into their own hands* I don’t know if it’s a common thing (especially) in Asia, but I feel the same way too. I follow my parents because I’m perpetually worried about making the wrong choices. >.< It’ll probably be uphill but… *hopes both of us will do it*
=P What do you foresee yourself doing once you get your arts degree?
*nods* We should. Being positive probably helps others feel less down as well? *not too sure about that* I should listen to Rucran more. Lol… *thinks all her muses have interesting things to say*
=D Yours are just as cute! *thinks Keanne is a swell guy* I’d love to see more of your other muses in the future. *interested to see how Java and Caramel interact with one another* ^^ Yume and Frappe are always welcomed of course!
*hugs* *thought Nina’s hallucinations sounded scary* D=
^.^ Let me know when you have! It’ll be interesting to talk about it…
Oh! Would you like me to email you the pdf for Howl’s Moving Castle? =) Found it on my bro’s com.
[>.< If you do, can I have your email again? Sorry! My yahoo account got deleted *sad*]

I think Asians are more traditional than those who live in the west. It's harder for us to be independent. Believe me, as long as your choice is for a good reason and that it makes you happy, too, then it's a good choice. That thought guides me. Well... I have always thought of myself as creative and imaginative, fine arts would be fun for me. Besides, it's a natural thing for me to do. I'm not going to be an artist alone, i also want to take other jobs like being an editor or writer. And then also a nurse. Muses are born interesting Hmm... it's easier for us to be positive when everything is doing right. A person may be able to figure out how to look on the bright side on his own eventually though it wouldn't hurt if someone is there to remind of the good things in life. I actually don't know Keanne that much. He's this happy go lucky guy who appears when you least expect him. He likes teasing but he's very supportive. Ah. Caramel and Java are well behaved compared to their... little sister (Frappe) Frappe: Wee!! Thanks!! They were scary. :S I had to press the forward button just to skip the scary parts. Creepy nails. The bending legs were totally freaky. And the lesbian scene was really... unusual. Nina is a sexually frustrated character. Why do you think people resort to those when they are frustrated? YEAY!!! PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! PLEEEEEEAAAASE!!!!! I want to read it!!! XDDDDD here's my email. frappegurl777@yahoo.com |

*nods* XD I think those are good criteria. I’m still thinking about what guides my decision. Lol I tend to worry too much about what others think/feel.
=) Well I guess we are lucky in the sense that we have more career options nowadays. *thinks being a writer/editor will be fun*
I agree. XP
Haha… they make an interesting pair too (Caramel and Java). The concept of twins is quite diverse. *thinks there are a lot of muse twins out there* Caramel and Java, Enz and Zen (Writer’s muse), Dante and Vergil (Shadow’s DMC muse and non muse), Aiden and Candice (Chaos and Dawn’s kidlings), Augustus Nero and Atticus (Shadow and mine – but they are part of a set of triplets), Byron and Helena (Qwertel’s children) …
I know there are more but I can’t think of them right now. I’m sure Dawn has another pair.
[side thought: twins seem popular in literature … o.O]
Have you ever tried psychoanalyzing your muses – finding their weak points and their deepest fears? ^.^’ I find that it can be a good way to differentiate one muse from another especially when they share very similar traits.
Not that I'm sadistic or anything... >.<
o.O Lesbian scene… *doesn’t want to imagine it* *shakes head* I have no idea. =/ It’s an interesting observation though. *would like to find out more*
Sure! Will send it to you tomorrow. Bro’s on his com at the moment.

the things we say may hurt or upset others, but as long as we are on the right, then our conscience should be clear. yes. i'm glad that women like us are allowed more freedom now unlike in the past. yeah. very common indeed. i did think of that and i'm thinking of writing them once i have the time. for now, i'm trying to get to know my muses more and more. everyday, i learn something new about them. Woah, i have not met most of those muses except for qwertel's twins. LOL, i don't think anyone will be confused with my java and caramel since they don't exactly look alike and their personalities are very very different from each other. they call it yuri in japanese manga terms. -sigh- i'll never understand the concept of same sex romance. :/ oh, i gotta check. Thanks, basil!! XD |
