What luck! (yes, that was sarcasm).
My computer threw a tantrum and broke down the other day, and thankfully i got to be back online within 24 hours, or i would've died! (yes, exaggeration. kids these days!)
Well, as for what happened i'm not entirely sure, it could be a combination of things. I know i've dropped it on multiple occasions, spilt water on it, and so on so forth, but finally, one day, i was informed that the battery was on "service battery" mode and i had to take it to the Apple Store to get it fixed.
So that's what i did, straight after school.
Got an appointment, and it turned out far worse than i originally assumed.
My battery was broken, my charger was broken, and even the SCREEN was broken. I don't remember breaking my screen!
They suggested me bringing it in on the weekend as to not interfere with school but i need to study during the weekend (besides, the weekend's always the perfect time to procrastinate and watch movies!) so i refused and gave it in that day.
The kind "Genius" promised it would be finished by the following morning, so we were on our way after that.
The following day i was lucky enough to have two tests and an assembly, as well as a kindergarten buddy meeting during the blocks that i had, so i had no time to sulk and feel bored as due to the lack of a useable computer. (I did borrow a Chromebook from the school, though, so it isn't as though i'd actually DIE)
During the time i was parted from my baby, i thought about all the times that i've had it; we've been together for 2.5 years! I first got it upon my entry into a new school, and just as well, too.
Everybody had one, notes were emailed to us during class for viewing, presentations were done via Prezi or Powerpoint, and so on so forth.
Anyway, i got my computer back last night, and it's all shiny and sleek and the lid, which was dented before, is now good as new! I miss the cute stickers i put on it but it is what it is. :D
Can't wait for August, for the back to school electronics sale~ Will be getting a new laptop for university. i will definitely take more care of it, as i am more mature now and i don't think i'll be dropping it on the ground or spilling water on it anymore!
I'm not a kid anymore, so i definitely won't hurt my electronics in kiddish ways anymore :D

I Still Want To Be British… Also, Procrastination
I'm really cutting it close this time with my assignment that is due tomorrow and if i don't finish i most likely won't be able to graduate.
So what am i still doing up at this hour, trying to cram everything down? Not to mention the Biology test tomorrow… (except as it is not part of my average when applying to universities, i don't particularily give a damn about it)
the thing about procrastination, i find, is that often you decide that you can do things last minute, but even when it IS late minute, you somehow wind up finding a reason not to do it at all.
For me, it was originally, "I'll do my Biology today after school because tomorrow is the test."
This evolved from, "I'll do this during the weekend because Tuesday is the test."
And is now, "I'll borrow someone else's notes tomorrow before the test."
Which no doubt will somehow turn into, "I don't care about this test."
WHICH IS NOT GOOD AT ALL.
Same goes for my Literature homework which was due a long time ago. I promised myself i'd do it, again and again, yet i have failed to do so each time.
I hope i can hand it in before Good Friday though.
Otherwise, i think i might be in a bit of a rut.
Aside from my obvious procrastination (why else would i write a blog entry that is seemingly about nothing? the only reason is because i don't want to work yet!) , i am still dreaming of the British accent, the Union Jack, of tea, of the Queen.
I guess the grass is always greener, huh !
My Mum says that if i crave a taste of Great Britain so bad, then i ought to just move there and do my master's degree, four years from now.
I say, "no."
I'm not interested in education.
I can do that on my own, without tests and pressure and homework.
I've done enough homework to last a lifetime, to be honest!
(deep sigh)
if only here were Britain. then i'd be soooooo happy.
If only here were anything even remotely like Britain. I'd still be soooooooo happy.
But it's 'murica here, man… so no tea, Queens, or cute flags. :/
I mean, i'm happy with what i've got.
but i can't help but to think, "wouldn't that be fabulous?"
I do often wonder, though, between here and there, what's the biggest difference, aside from the slang and the accent?
Just how different is the culture, the government, the people?
I mean, the Queen's still the head of state here, right now, but i sure can't have tea with her. (shame, really. what a dream it would be to have tea with the Queen!)
(whoopsy daisy ! seems i've procrastinated a bit too much. quickly ! back to the homework! i'll see ya later~ )

First Time Doing…?
Normally i wouldn't double post but it came to mind that i experienced quite a few "firsts" this spring, and i would be inclined to share them all with you!
Naturally, experiencing "firsts" are an exciting privilege and in ways it is like a rite of passage into being a young adult, as i am normally very childish normally.
I still am, but maybe, just maybe, i am a tiny bit more refined now than i was prior to spring break.
Let's get started!
------------------------------------------------
First Time Travelling Without Parents
------------------------------------------------
Well, technically it wasn't my FIRST time travelling without my mum or dad. i did go to France by myself before. (uhm… well, technically not solo, but without family).
but this was the first time going to ASIA without my parents, and that makes all the difference!
------------------------
First Earrings
------------------------
Getting one's ears pierced is a rite of passage for many young girls, as it is me. I don't think that it makes me look any more mature to decorate my ears with sparkly earrings, but it's the very act of being able to do so, that makes this first so important.
yes, there was a lot of unrefined screaming involved, but at the same time, they're done, they're a first, and it's also my rite of passage.
unfortunately now i have holes in my ears and i'm not sure what to think of that, and my mum looks critically upon any earrings that i would like to have.
"no, don't use plastic. no, don't use that. no, that's not good."
"what about medical steel then? these are medical titanium. they are convinient."
"no, i think you should use gold."
"…but i want sparkly earrings."
"…then why don't we get some diamonds."
"mom, we're not talking about the stones, we're talking about the posts!"
"oh. right."
"i think i'll just keep these in and figure everything else later."
"alright. you do that."
so, yeah.
I was hoping to change them in time for graduation, thus, another first, but… i guess some things can wait. I think i'm too terrified of taking them off anyway, so i might be stuck with blue sparkly earrings for the rest of my life, ahah~
---------------------------------
First Touch Screen Phone
--------------------------------
Okay, technically not my "first" touch-screen phone. I did have an iPhone knock-off before, which is touch screen, and a Blackberry with a touch screen. I've been wanting to get a new phone for a long time now, but it was constantly being put off because phones are expensive, i'm a kid, i don't need a phone, et al, et al, et al.
So finally i got a new phone - a Samsung Galaxy Note III.
It's gorgeous! It's the white one with the dark gold lining. I wanted a pink one originally because it's so cute and girly but i like mine more now, because it's sophisticated, easy to match with any shells, and it's insanely adorable while being utterly refined.
Although this first was a reward for getting into a good university, it wasn't all smiles and joys.
i HATE spending money.
I nearly threw up when my grandma took out a wad of cash to pay for my baby. (yes, my phone is my baby. as is all my other electronics. deal with it).
i have never felt so guilty in my life before.
this was a first i tried to back out of originally, but even though the guilt still lingers today, i am so very happy that i got the chance to get my cutedorable phone.
though i think using a credit card would have made me feel better. because then you don't physically see the money. and i wouldn't feel so pained for imposing my wishes upon my family.
i mean, we're hard pressed for money nowadays anyway.
the economy here is terrible.
(but i promise once i make my first gazillion dollars, and yes, it will happen, i will pay back my family for all the hardships i put them through!)
---------------------------------------
First Travel BY MYSELF
---------------------------------------
I travelled by bullet train by myself this spring. I also went back to Canada by myself this spring.
BY MY FLIPPING SELF.
my dependant, idiotic, overly reliant, naive, silly little self.
now THAT, is a rite of passage. :)

10 Things i Learned About Taiwan :D
I love Taiwan.
Really, i do. Absolutely.
sure, being that i admitted to being a 'weeaboo', you'd think that my favourite country is Japan and that everywhere else sucks, but while yes, i love Japan and i put him on a pedestal, i also love Taiwan very, very much.
Therefore, after spending 2 weeks in Taiwan this spring, these are the 10 things i learned about Taiwan.
1) The Weather is REALLY humid. Which, on a hot day can be excrutiating, but when it's warm or cold out, it's REALLY good for the skin. soft and supple skin, all day, every day, without lotion <3
2) 7-11 (and other convinience stores) are everywhere and has everything. Like, EVERYTHING.
3) most stores seem to have a threshold (one level higher than ground level). so if you're like me, you'll faceplant a few times. … in front of everybody.
4) Night markets are the best for bright lights, good food, and cheap, adorable goods.
5) Department stores (generally, SOGO and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, respectively) are TALL instead of WIDE like in the Western world. and everything grouped neatly so you don't wander in circles. Also, the food courts are UH-MAZING.
6) You see mopeds everywhere. EVERYWHERE. but they're superfun to ride. :)
7) officers will squish you into the metro and if you have a stop coming up, you had best head over to the door RIGHT NOW, or you won't be getting out on time.
8) Old people use Japanese words to refer to family members. (at least from what i observed)
9) School uniforms seem to either be brightly coloured tracksuits, or a sailor-esque shirt and skirt, which is awesome. either comfy or adorable, neither of which mine is. 0.0
10) It's a friendly, welcoming nation with freedom of speech and expression. I definitely want to go back one day. It's one of the most beautiful places i've ever been in my life. <3
well, that's about it then! :D
hope that was … informitive… and that you enjoyed it ^_^
i'll be updating regularily from now on, on Mondays and Thursdays. :)
(I quit gymnastics by the way) :/

Finally Got My Ears Pierced!
So, finally after years of wishing i could pierce my ears, i finally did it while i was abroad.
What's the story?
Well, ever since i was a kid i knew i wanted pretty earrings like all my aunties had. My Mom never told me no, she said it was my body and as long as i wanted them, i could get them, so the issue lay with me - i was terrified of needles, even the idea of needles.
I was that kid who ran around screaming during school immunizations and flustered the nurses so badly that they gave me the wrong shot. (they finally coerced me into taking it not with candy, not with ice cream, but by saying that it costs 50$ if i went to a clinic to get it done!)
I was that kid who would get their cavaties fixed without the numbing injection thing, because there's no way i would let a needle go near my mouth. (i strangely had canine teeth that had roots as a kid, and i didn't let them stick a needle in my gum for that either - they yanked it out without, at my request)
I was that kid who wore magnetic earrings for ears, even though they made my ears ache like no tomorrow.
I was the kid who asked my parents, "Can't you hire someone to pierce my ears when i am asleep?"
So what convinced me to change my mind?
Well, prior to the trip i already knew that i wanted to pierce my ears while abroad, and my good friend from the UK told me the piercing doesn't hurt, the after care doesn't hurt, and i believed her, and thought, 'might as well give it a try.'
(although to counter this, my good friend from school had her ears pierced and the aftercare looked just SO painful. She would use cotton balls soaked in the solution and SQUEEEZE it around her earlobes tightly and rotate the piercing and her ear would turn all red and her eyes teary and i was TERRIFIED just watching her)
But somehow i had made up my mind - i was gonna get them done! I most certainly would! Although i did not think beyond "I am gonna get them done!"
So me and some relatives and a cute baby was walking around just chillin' in Shilin Night Market (Taiwan), buying cute clothes and trying yummy foods and what not (and searching for presents), and we came across some ear piercing stalls.
Since i had told them that i wanted to pierce my ears (and in secret! it's a surprise!) they dragged me in and told me to choose my starter earrings. I could choose either white gold or stainless medical steel.
At which point i was so senselessly terrified that they just put one palette in front of me and asked, "which colour?" At which i chose blue - i knew from the beginning i wanted navy blue, but it was not an option, there was only sky blue, so i went with that.
And at which point, i began to freak out.
The piercer didn't use guns on the size that i chose, only on the super tiny (and not as cute) studs. She was going to do it by hand.
So i began flipping my sh*t, trying to back out, crying, "But it will hurt! It will hurt! It will huuuuuuurt!" but i was told to sit down and i did, but i was still cringing away, terrified.
They applied something that felt cold and minty to my ears and dotted the location and i was shying away, terrified, and i have no idea what went on behind my back (the preparement of the studs) … (but i hope it was safe and okay) and i was still cringing and crying and suddenly, POP!
the first stud was in.
Truth to be told, it didn't hurt that much. it was just a pinch. but it was the sound of something sharp being forced through my flesh that really put me off.
It was probably the scariest part, too.
At which point, i began screaming, "Ow ow ow ow ow ow owwwww!!! hurts!!!!!" Even though it actually didnt, and the lady moved to the other side, and POP! the second one was through and i was done.
I was making such a big fuss that my aunt decided to start filming my reaction - and did i mention, i scared the baby really badly because i was yelling so much?
The strange minty thing eased whatever pain there might have been so i begged them to put more on, which they complied.
I twas handed a tiny dropper of aftercare liquid along with instructions (that i can't read), sealed in a plastic bag, and off we went.
By the way, the aftercare solution burns / feels cold. I can't decide which. I guess i can say it's a wintery feeling and doesn't really hurt, although there is a feeling that i am not used to.
At random afterwards, my ears would feel pinched or achy, but it is not constant and sometimes it is not there at all, for which i am grateful.
Also, despite everyone saying that they need to apply the solution to behind and in front of the ears and twist the stud, i was told to only put a drop in front and to not ever, ever, ever even THINK about rotating the earrings.
And i guess birds of a feather really do flock together.
The aunt that took me to get my piercings done had hers done at Claire's, on the other side of the globe. Appearntly everyone said it wouldn't hurt so she believed them, and when they used the gun, she screamed loudly, and before she could protest and run away, the other ear was pierced too.
(I was begging her to get hers done with me because i knew that we were similar in reactions to pain)
It was rather hilarious, actually.
So… That's my story.
By the way, this was yesterday.
I hope all goes well. :)
I would love to wear a gorgeous pair of dangly earrings to graduation and commencement. ^_^
Well, that's about it! Can't wait to brag about it when i get home! (although i might just stay silent and see how long it takes for everyone to notice!)
Ciao then!

I WISH I WAS BRITISH
WAIT, IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? TO BE A WEEABOO AND A BRITABOO AT THE SAME TIME????
well, apparantly so!
Because i wish i was British!
(Oh wow, i can already tell that this is gonna be a totally pointless post)
Really, my reasons for wishing that i was British (specifically, English) isn't really that different from everybody else's.
It's the accent, mostly. the poshness. the boys. the tea. the cooler English/slang. mostly the accent. and the slang. it would be SO cool to be able to say "bloody hell!" in a normal conversation without getting weird looks from everybody present.
Anyway, here's the surprising thing: I don't actually watch Sherlock or whatever British shows that Tumblr goes on and on about in the tag "I wish i was British."
I just actually wish that I was, for no reason in particular. ( * whispers * "it's the accent! )
So…
Yeah.
I don't know what to say anymore.
:/
I don't think this even counts as a post.
Just wanted ya'll to know that, i suppose.

Confessions of a Weeaboo - THE WEEABOO QUIZ!!!
So… Before i start this new post, let me apologize for inactivity for the last few weeks. First, i was playing Bravely Default and it all but consumed me. Next, i got sick, so i went to the doctor's and they gave me medicine that made me EVEN MORE SICK. then, that sickness (allergies) got better, but then i got sick AGAIN (a cold) which leads me to where i am today, which is… painful, plugged ears and a flight that leaves in a day and half.
Since i can't really do anything about it, i figured i'd post my first entry in quite awhile, which leads me to right now!
Confessions of a Weeaboo!
