Hello Everyone! <3
Another irregular post, but since i've nothing better to do right now ANYWAYS (okay actually, i do, but nonetheless!) i thought it'd be nice to post an entry right before the holidays, so here it is!
Nope, not Christmas cheer, though, sadly. Since lately cheer has been few and far between. Still, i AM grateful, and i AM happy, but the amount of happiness, i do think, doesn't quite add up to the amount of frustration.
I cannot wait for break, since that's some time away from everything (everyone?) that annoys me. And yeah, it's true, i'm not really a people-person.
Anyway, it's true that sometimes life is hard, but ya gotta make the best of what you've got. Sometimes we experience regret, but, i think that nothing is ever a coincidence, and that everything is by fate.
Sometimes, i feel as though i am lost in darkness, and i have no idea where to go, where to run, i cannot see, hear, touch, or feel, and it's a terrifying feeling.
but even in this darkness, there is this overbearing will, this will that screams, "I WANT TO LIVE. I DON'T WANT TO DIE. I WANT REDEMPTION."
and therefore, i will always try my best. even if i cannot fly, i will run. if i cannot run, i will walk. if i cannot walk, i will crawl. but no matter what it takes, i will most definitely pull myself out of the hell that i am living in right now.
So, I apologize if i am sounding darker than usual, and without further ado, here are some tips for living, whether you're going through a hard time or just living in general.
Enjoy!
---
1) Appreciate. It's so easy to to blame others, to self-victimize, to think, "why is this happening to me?" and trust me, i've had those moments, many, many times before. but open your eyes. see the skies, and breath the air. the world is beautiful today. there are many things in your life that you can appreciate. yes, i am going through hell, but at the same time, there are so many things that i am grateful for in my life. things that haven't abandoned me, things that have been there for me. whether it be an inanimate object or a person, appreciate them. it's far better to appreciate than to curse.
2) Be kind. people may not always remember the things you've said, or the things you've done. but they will always remember how you made them feel. If you are kind, people will remember you favourably. I also think it's important to ask yourself, "what can i do for the world?" instead of "what can the world do for me?" Not all the time, of course, since balance is also important, but sometimes, considering others before oneself will bring good things.
3) Stay in good company. Of course, this cannot always be possible for everyone. sometimes you're stuck in bad company, and you just need to deal with it. but even so, always do your best to surround yourself with people that make you happy, and not those that make you miserable. if there's nothing you can do about it, then work towards it, as will I. I may not always be happy with where i am at the moment, but i will always do my best to bring myself to a place where i can smile happily.
4) Dream dreams. I am a high school student. Most high school students dream of going to a good, prestigious university. But it's good to have dreams aside from that. If you don't know where your heart is, then follow where your mind goes when it wanders. Dreaming dreams is the same as having hopes - it keeps us going, and determined to live, no matter what the circumstances are. Even the most impossible of dreams is worth a try. It's much better to live a life of "oh wells" then a life of "what ifs"
5) Don't let others bother you. You do your thing, they'll do theirs. they are not on this world to meet your expectations, nor are you on this world to meet theirs. you are you, and they are they. What they think of you is not important. At the end of the day, the only opinion that matters is your own. And think of it; is this a person that you would want in your life after ten years? if not, then don't give a crap about what they think or what they say. concentrate on yourself. easier said than done, but that's the truth.
6) Recognize the angel in your life. Everyone meets an angel sometime in their life. This angel might be their parents, their siblings, their friends, or even a lover. The angel is the one that makes everything feel right again, and will always comfort you and be there for you. The faster you realize who this angel is, the better. Treat him or her nice, since this one will go a long way in influencing you. But always remember, angels cry too. Don't let your angel cry.
7) Don't interfere. If it's none of your business then don't give it any thought. If it's going to rain, then there is really nothing you can do to stop is, right? So when comes time to things that don't involve you, don't dramaticize it, don't dwell on it. it's someone else's problem or issue, and let them fix it. don't wind yourself up in a tizzy for other people's problems.
8) Write a story. you'd be surprised at how your emotions and mental landscape portrays itself when you are writing, as when you write, it is from the heart. it's a good outlet for pent up emotions, and also a good way to give yourself a little bit of therapy if you're going through a hard time. words can express things that even music and art cannot.
9) Be strong. Yes, it's sometimes incredibly hard to be strong, and sometimes you'd much rather leap off a cliff than continue on. But you're here for a reason. there is always purpose in your life. so even in a dark time, do your best to be strong, ganbatte ne~!
10) Eat good food. To eat is to live after all. If you ever get hungry, then remember that is your body showing you that it is still determined to live.
11) Move on. It always seems easier to stay in "that place." that place that seems to be mediocre, that place that is safe. But always strive for something better. listen for the destination in your heart. I am not happy with where i am right now, and so naturally, i will do my best to change that. I won't let myself fall into the endless rut of something that i don't want. I will dig myself out, even if i have to force the skies to fall and the world to collapse. I absolutely will not stay here.
Soooo... it's been a bit lengthy, my apologies to you all. but this is your holiday gift! the key to a happier life.
Personally, i am indeed going through a hard time right now, and these are the skills i have applied to my life in hopes that it will turn out better.
So, i apologize for a dark and sad post on my part, but, i hope you can all take this to heart and lead a happier life! best of luck to all! <3
This is Re-Re, signing out~ sayonara~! <3 ^_^

5 Things that Make or Break a Friendship \(^o^)/
Alas, i have failed to write for yet another week! How terrible of me, going back on such promises...
Anyway i am back, i'm sorry i haven't done any gymnastics updates so here's a quick one! Two weeks have passed since my last post, i have learned to do back handsprings on the floor now, and stopped wearing leotards to class as it is much too cold for that now. No big progressions as i have been beyond exhausted.
Yesterday i went skating with a few family members of mine, it was fabulous!
And now, to the main post, of which i hope will make up for my lost posts!
And of course, given that this is a positive blog (although i'm hoping for a negative one too!) let's begin with negative so we can end positively~! <3
Without further ado, let's start <3

5 Things that Break a Friendship (in no particular order)
1) Selfishness.
there is no room for selfishness in a friendship. Yes, everyone is entitled to feel selfish once in awhile, friendship is a selfish thing, in reality. both parties take and take and take, yet what makes it so is the mutuality. one takes and one gives, and then again, oppositely. yet, when it comes time that one side is giving more than she is receiving, then surely, this friendship is fated to hell. and if there is ever any confusion - the definition of selfishness is to think only of oneself without regards to anybody else.
2) Ignorance
is closely tied in to selfishness. as long as one is able to admit their flaws or selfishness, then surely it is fixable. self-awareness is the catalyst of which better things come. but should one contain an ignorant disposition, such flaws cannot be fixed; surely the downfall of a friendship. to deny or to believe in, both of which especially to selfishness, would certainly destroy any friendship. if you cannot admit that you are flawed and attempt to fix them as i do my best to, then we are not meant to be friends. i will not stand for blind ignorance.
3) Morals
majority of the world has morals, have they not? yet what if morals conflict? should one friend be tenderhearted and easily moved, and the other cruel and coldhearted? then surely it's not meant to be - should we ever hast a clash in morals, then let it be, let us not be friends. i say it's fine to have a friendly conversation, or to stay by them when one has nowhere else to go, but a long time thing? no way, nohow.
4) Control
Ought anyone ever be overly controlling in a friendship? I say, if you try to control me, then sure, i suppose i will play along for awhile, a few months, maybe a year or two, but have no doubt: friends are definitely not truly friends if either attempts to be too controlling - i say to anyone who tries to control me - good riddance for you, and i look forward to the way we part ways. nothing makes you better than me, and therefore, you have no right to control me in any shape, way, or form.
5) Limitlessness
everyone has limits. this is a given fact in life. even saints have limits. friends ought to know these limits and stay clear of them. if anyone was to push my limits, day after day, "poking the dog" per say, attempting to break that fine line between love and hate? well, i say go ahead. but when i leave and never return, don't go around wondering why. you know it well, wouldn't you? no one likes to be nudged closer and closer to their breaking point. it's unpleasant.
5 Things that Make a Friendship (in no particular order)
1) Safety
safety is a key issue among friends. yes, thrill is good, but thrill is more boyfriend material. a friendship ought to feel safe. it should be a warm word in your mouth that stays there like cotton candy - sweet and everlasting, soft and downy.
2) Laughter
i like people who can make me laugh. i think everyone does. if someone can make you laugh so hard you forget all about your troubles, even momentarily, then i say that's a friend worth keeping. laughter is the best medicine, after all!
3) Genuineness
it's rare to come across truly genuine people in the world. if you ever meet someone earnest and pure, then they would definitely make the best of friends. the opposite of a bad friend, who is underhanded, conniveing, and constantly scheming, the earnest friend would provide so much more. they are a team player - the best of the best.
4) Common Interests
it's true that you can build a friendship out of nothing - situation often does that. but if you can so help it, a friend that can laugh and share the same things one cares about, is truly one of the best types of friends. much to talk about, much to achieve together. what more could we want?
5) Understanding
everyone has nuances. those that can understand these nuances and navigate them properly are good friends. since that way, they never push your limits and you would never push theirs.
---
On a final word, i do have to admit, i do not have a lot of friends in my life right now.
Aquaintinces i do have, as do i have pen-pals, but in all reality, my friends are few and far between.
And then again, to be truthful, some of these friends i think are simply not fated to be. our situation has put us together and held us there, and this aside, there really would be nothing to bind our friendship, nor to solidify it.
a final word of wisdom for all -
know the limits. and respect them.
^_^
well, i was also late in posting this entry , i started it but didn't finish up till now . .. .
again, take these with a grain of salt, they are simply my opinions, and i also think i might start a new blog soon! It will be friendship based, and focuses on the metamorphysis of my own person.
And i will apologize for updates that are not routine, i'm going through a difficult time right now and i'm trying to sort things out.
Stay positive, all~! <3

Cutedorable Business / Business Casual Look!
Seems I've been straying from both Thursdays and Mondays lately, haven't I...
Here's a mid-week post, just for giggles!
I was away at a MUN conference last weekend, and naturally, we all gotta wear business casuals!
So, allow me to tell you (this is my own opinion) the most cutedorable way of wearing a business casual outfit!
---
I like the minimalistic theme.
So, all i had was...
--> Black tube skirt from Forever 21
--> White button up shirt (quarter sleeves and fits snugly)
--> Skin coloured pantyhose
--> Black heels
--> Gray cotton blazer from Arizia
Compared to other business suits i've seen girls wear, this is definitely cheaper! (yes, yes, i'm a cheap person. But we ain't all got money to spare!)
Anyway.
The premise of the entire outfit is that it fits snugly. It's not loosey goosey or anything. The blazer is tight, the shirt is tight, the skirt is tight. Not so much that it becomes obscene, but enough to show off those, yanno, bodily curves.
I mean, we girls are gifted with naturally soft looks, so why not show it off? It's like art, after all, since each one of us is artistically crafted ^^
Anyway,
I found that despite the fact i rather dislike wearing suits, this fitted me rather nicely.
and for once it didn't make me look like i have fat thighs! ^^
AND it made my tummy look flat!!
:DD
Wish i had a photo to show ya'll, but, i dunno how to do that :P
Anyhow, that's the way a cutedorable Business look is, in my opinion! :D
Try it out ;)
you'd be surprised how much nicer it looks compared to the normal business look with all those stiff blazers and stiff skirts ^^
Oh, and the length of your skirt depends on you, but since i think i have short legs, i wear it just above my fingertips so that it looks like i have long legs.
But i do pull the back down more than the front so i'm not like, walking around with my panties showing ^^;;;
Although i am absentminded enough that it wouldn't surprise me if that happened.
Actually, today, at a school assembly, i forgot to wear shoes.
Yeah.
I think that explains a lot about me XD
Anyhow, try out this cutedorable business casual look!
it's precious!
(Although i still like the kawaii schoolgirl look more, heehee <3 )

Why Only One Bed??? Ya Try'na Ship Us Or Somethin'?????
OMG Guiz!
I missed Thursday's post...
I'm sorry... Gomen, gomen <3 ><;;
It's been quite a hectic week, i was preparing for a Model United Nations conference that was coming up, and so i didn't quite have the time to write... (that, and, i was procrastinating. I am the Queen of Procrastination! I'd rather just be Princess though)
So this Monday, i have TWO posts for ya'll!
This one details my uuber fun experience at the Model UN, and the one after will depict this day's gymnastics class!
So... let's get started!! <3
To begin with, me and Mango got into the same committee, IBC (International Bioethics Committee) which had two fun topics, Euthanasia and Human-Animal Embyros!
Also we chose a quad room with a third friend for the expense.
And let me say...
It did NOT turn out to be a quad room. It was a double. Meaning, two beds!
And we're like, weeeeeell, the choice seems pretty obvious here... our other friend is tall and slender and might as well get her own bed,
and since Mango and i both kick and poke when we sleep, we might as well bunk together and have a boxing match in the middle of the night instead of beating some poor girl up XD
So, that was what happened.
And yeah, the beds were quite small.
So we pushed it against a wall so that she could cuddle with a wall and not kick me off the edge.
Anyway, committee sessions were fun, i didn't talk a lot but sometimes i had to, and i would get so nervous that i would start shaking (i REALLY don't like public speaking!!)
And on the first time, i remember that it was pretty calm after lights out. The room one over was having a blast, and we were sleeping.
Mango came nowhere near me, just as well, so no fighting that night. We both slept peacefully, although she whined a couple of times when i pulled the blanket 'cuz i was cold.
The second night was a bit different.
We had a nice dinner with a couple of other delegates and retreated to our room after a disappointing social and also collected bears from Happy Meals...
And we decided to watch a horror movie!
Since i cannot really watch a horror movie and go take a shower (Or heck, even enter the washroom!) We both took showers first and then started watching...
WITH NO LIGHTS.
Our friend was already sleeping.
And we watched...
oh, maybe 5 minutes.
Anytime she said a word that i considered creepy, like "corner" , or if she even smiled at me, i would flip out and start crying XDD
and so we finally gave up after i screamed a first time,
and then the second time she startled, and i screamed, and then we abandoned the entire idea.
She went to sleep, and when i did too, she rolled over and flopped her arm across my neck!
And i was thinking, "Oh dammmmmmmmmn, guuuuuurl ! Ya wanna strangle me ? ya wanna? ya wanna? come at me , bro!"
Anyway she didn't strangle me.
Thank Goodness XDD
And to my dear readers...
if you're hoping for some yuri or whatever, uhm, no, not happening XD
but ya wanna think random things?
I will leave it up to your own little mind la~
I'll entertain any notion.
I'm asexual after all.
I have no interest in girls, but currently, none in boys either! So, I suppose that makes me neither and both! Since i still want someone to cuddle with! XD
Also, i want a rainbow bear from Happy Meals!!
Get me a rainbow bear! ><;;

Switching Gyms???
Awwww,
I was tardy posting again!! I am sooooo sorry to anyone who actually reads my blogs or follows them, i beg your forgiveness!! ><
Anyway, things have been not very motivating (for a lack of better words) in gymnastics lately. my body's ill and tired, and i'm often sluggish, which is a result of school...
Honestly, how DID i manage to keep up with 6hr/wk before? Must've been the youth. and the happiness. Oh, the innocent joys of childhood... (although that was a mere two years ago!)
Anyways, i opted to simply wear a tshirt this time to save myself the trouble of changing. So i wore a white tshirt that had a cute rabbit on it, and some light gray legging capri's.
we warmed up on floor first, as per usual, lines, all that stuff. no drills though, so lots of running back and forth, bear walking, pike walking (what's the difference, anyways?) hops, tuck jumps, stuff like that. it'd be nice to do skills but i suppose it was more of a conditioning class?
soon we moved onto the tumble trak, or as they call it, the "fast track" to do all our usual warm ups.
there was strong emphasis on dive rolls this time, since there was one girl who couldn't land her front tuck properly, and even after getting the boys to show her, she couldn't, so we did dive rolls instead.
and man, those boys demonstrating? Mmmmmm~ XD
we're talking HEIGHT man, and actually a roll, not a flop, like the rest of us :P
the advice was this -
"jump as high as you can, touch the mat, and then roll."
weeeeeel, let's say i got the "jump as high as i can" part, missed the "touch the mat" part, but got the "roll" part. so... 2/3 of the way there? ^^;;
we went to stretch afterwards and did this strange thing,
bridges on a beam! once with our hands on the beam and feet on the floor (it's a bit disturbing to just glance up and be able to see the backs of your legs, imo, but that's just my opinion) even more disturbing that i was basically standing. bu backwards. as in, no weight on my hands. which were on the beam. (low beam of course) it was CREEPY
and then legs on the beam and rock in bridges, which was nice and dandy and all
but i got a massive headache afterwards.
then to bars!
for...
CONDITIONING!
nooooooo! XD
we started out by hanging, and we would do 20 leg lifts. and then hang and do 30 tuck ups.
and then had a relay that consisted of:
- 20 seconds hanging
- 10 tuck ups
and then
- 20 seconds hanging
- 5 leg lifts
and also a hanging competition.
well, OW much? and i got the bar with less chalk on it, so i was adjusting my grip an awful lot!
Afterwards we worked on some skills, but i'm not wearing a leo so to heck with it if anyone thought i would do actual skills (i have a chubby belly, imo, so i don't want to reveal anything...)
and then we had to do chin ups, and appearntly, no reverse grip allowed, yet we all had to do it ANYWAYS so i could swear that i was gonna die.
then, to the beams!
tiptoe walking, kicks, doncky kicks (beginner handstands) and all that jazz, i could do it before! but i guess i lost my touch. yanno, the teenage years. you know how those are :P
then handstands and cartwheels, split leaps, wolf jumps, and all that good stuff :P
afterwards we retired to the trampoline.
i was so close to getting my front layout!
my hand acidently hit the mat as i was flipping so maybe it was more like a hybrid between front handspring and front layout though.
and really, that summarized it!
nothing new really, except that pounding migrane....
Oh yeah, and i'll be switching gyms in a month! only 3 more classes i think? 4?
And then i'll be going to a different gym!
Originally i was so excited, since i really love the coach at the other gym (although i am not sure if he is still coaching - - - i'd be in my right mind to ask him, since i've got him on FB! but i'm too shy and i wonder if he even will remember me...)
but then, this gym has some really amazing boys (they all make me wonder, what is a non-creepy way of saying to a guy, "i really like the way you flip and stuff... will you marry me?") and i'm kind of sad to see the last of them!
Although, i never talked to them ANYWAYS so it's NOT as though it'd make a difference.
I DO hope that when i go to this new gym that my favourite coach will be there :P
Even though he can't do cool tricks for us anymore, since the gym's gunna have the competitive girls and boys there, so we actually have to, yenno, work on skills, instead of climbing on walls or pretending to be Tarzan or what have you's.
So anyway,
that's about it for this time!
I'll post on time on Thursday though, i promise ^^
Or at least i'll do my best to :P
It's a really busy week!!
I mean, if ya'll want it, and if it will make up for my nonconsistant postings... I'll blog about some H stuff...
~JK~
Nothing H has ever happened in my life. It's kind of pathetic at this age, but yenno, whatever. purity for the one true love. rah rah rah.
Oh, and,
don't scroll down if you're sensitive?
BONUS!!
Pairing of the Week - Kaname Kuran x Zero Kiryuu!!
Avid fan of kanazero.
That's also my snapchat.
so like, go on, friend me. i dare you.
>:D
~ReJoJoReReJoReMiJoMiSoReMiReReReReRe~
I was tardy posting again!! I am sooooo sorry to anyone who actually reads my blogs or follows them, i beg your forgiveness!! ><
Anyway, things have been not very motivating (for a lack of better words) in gymnastics lately. my body's ill and tired, and i'm often sluggish, which is a result of school...
Honestly, how DID i manage to keep up with 6hr/wk before? Must've been the youth. and the happiness. Oh, the innocent joys of childhood... (although that was a mere two years ago!)
Anyways, i opted to simply wear a tshirt this time to save myself the trouble of changing. So i wore a white tshirt that had a cute rabbit on it, and some light gray legging capri's.
we warmed up on floor first, as per usual, lines, all that stuff. no drills though, so lots of running back and forth, bear walking, pike walking (what's the difference, anyways?) hops, tuck jumps, stuff like that. it'd be nice to do skills but i suppose it was more of a conditioning class?
soon we moved onto the tumble trak, or as they call it, the "fast track" to do all our usual warm ups.
there was strong emphasis on dive rolls this time, since there was one girl who couldn't land her front tuck properly, and even after getting the boys to show her, she couldn't, so we did dive rolls instead.
and man, those boys demonstrating? Mmmmmm~ XD
we're talking HEIGHT man, and actually a roll, not a flop, like the rest of us :P
the advice was this -
"jump as high as you can, touch the mat, and then roll."
weeeeeel, let's say i got the "jump as high as i can" part, missed the "touch the mat" part, but got the "roll" part. so... 2/3 of the way there? ^^;;
we went to stretch afterwards and did this strange thing,
bridges on a beam! once with our hands on the beam and feet on the floor (it's a bit disturbing to just glance up and be able to see the backs of your legs, imo, but that's just my opinion) even more disturbing that i was basically standing. bu backwards. as in, no weight on my hands. which were on the beam. (low beam of course) it was CREEPY
and then legs on the beam and rock in bridges, which was nice and dandy and all
but i got a massive headache afterwards.
then to bars!
for...
CONDITIONING!
nooooooo! XD
we started out by hanging, and we would do 20 leg lifts. and then hang and do 30 tuck ups.
and then had a relay that consisted of:
- 20 seconds hanging
- 10 tuck ups
and then
- 20 seconds hanging
- 5 leg lifts
and also a hanging competition.
well, OW much? and i got the bar with less chalk on it, so i was adjusting my grip an awful lot!
Afterwards we worked on some skills, but i'm not wearing a leo so to heck with it if anyone thought i would do actual skills (i have a chubby belly, imo, so i don't want to reveal anything...)
and then we had to do chin ups, and appearntly, no reverse grip allowed, yet we all had to do it ANYWAYS so i could swear that i was gonna die.
then, to the beams!
tiptoe walking, kicks, doncky kicks (beginner handstands) and all that jazz, i could do it before! but i guess i lost my touch. yanno, the teenage years. you know how those are :P
then handstands and cartwheels, split leaps, wolf jumps, and all that good stuff :P
afterwards we retired to the trampoline.
i was so close to getting my front layout!
my hand acidently hit the mat as i was flipping so maybe it was more like a hybrid between front handspring and front layout though.
and really, that summarized it!
nothing new really, except that pounding migrane....
Oh yeah, and i'll be switching gyms in a month! only 3 more classes i think? 4?
And then i'll be going to a different gym!
Originally i was so excited, since i really love the coach at the other gym (although i am not sure if he is still coaching - - - i'd be in my right mind to ask him, since i've got him on FB! but i'm too shy and i wonder if he even will remember me...)
but then, this gym has some really amazing boys (they all make me wonder, what is a non-creepy way of saying to a guy, "i really like the way you flip and stuff... will you marry me?") and i'm kind of sad to see the last of them!
Although, i never talked to them ANYWAYS so it's NOT as though it'd make a difference.

20 Types of People!
Oh my, i am late again aren't i? ><'
Gomenasai, minna-san!
Anyway, today i am going to talk about 20 people~ 10 types of people i hate and 10 types of people i love~! I think most of these are pretty universal except a select few in the 10 types of people i love :P
As a disclaimer, since everything needs a disclaimer,
most people i know (most people in general, too) are a mixture of the 20 different types of people.
I am not perfect, nor do i claim to be, so of course i also have some hateful attributes in me... heehee ^^
Anyway, i think that what makes people interesting is not just their attributes but also their flaws - although when a person's flaws overpower their attributes, that's when i start to feel a bit sketchy with this person.
My like for a person goes like this - it remains at its maximum all the time, even when they annoy me. When they annoy me, my base line with them goes down.
I will keep liking the said person until the very end - until i hit my bottom line,
then it's BOOM! BAM! CYA LATER BETCH! GOOD RIDDANCE!
so for an advice for every person out there,
if someone is lookin' pissed with you, lay off it for a couple of days, be all sweet and stuff, and don't push their limits ;) everyone has limits afterall ^^
anyway, without further ado, ten people i love and hate!! (in no particular order)
---
HATE
---
1) Know It All's
it's okay if you want to prove how intelligent you are, i completely respect that in a person. intelligence is sexy. it's also kawaii. but when it comes to the point where you insist on being right about EVERYTHING (even when you're clearly wrong) then it's time to lay it off. it's infuriating, especially because i am prideful.
2) Whiners and Complainers
okay, i admit to being one of these. i always whine about things. but come on, people... time is golden. but duct tape is silver. shut up or put up.
3) Clingers
i love feeling needed. i think everyone loves feeling needed. there's no better feeling in the world, then knowing someone depends on you and needs you. but when it comes point where someone needs me to be with them even when i have important things to attend to, then f*ck off.
4) Tsunderes
it's kawaii in animes but not so much in real life. if you act tsundere all the time, then i'd rather be alone. i don't believe that outside you can be abusive and mean but inside you actually love me and care for me. if you love me then you won't hurt my feelings, end of story.
5) Naggers
if you said it once, i will remember. say it more than twice, then i will purposely forget to piss you off.
6) Normal People (Or those who claim to be)
i'm not normal. I don't think anyone is normal. Because it doesn't exist. But if anyone ever asks me, "can you be more *normal*?" then i think i'm gonna lose my sh*t. i am NOT normal. I never claimed to be. if you want someone normal, then i'm not for you. i'm a proud, anime-loving, game-crazy, immature little NOT normal yet shy brat. if you want "normal", go buy a washing machine.
7) Cruel People
it's very rare to meet truly cruel people, but i dislike cruelty even in theory. no one's Mother Theresa, but everyone deserves sympathy when going through a difficult time. if you cannot be sympathetic, we cannot be friends. I cannot possibly tolerate someone who has a cruel heart. i am far from innocent, but there is this saying, "be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a difficult battle."
8) Negative People
i believe we all have our downfalls, we all have our sadness. but i want mutual positivity instead of mutual negativity. i want to inspire people, and encourage them, and i want them to do the same for me. if they bring me down or insists on being a "black hole", well, bullocks for you, then. that's not for me.
9) "It's okay for me but not for you" People
i believe in mutuality in friendships and relationships. if there is a "i can do it but you cannot" moment, well, let's say that it just lowered my respect for you a little bit. it's not okay if you can poke fun at me to other people but i cannot do the same to you. equality for all! Rah rah rah!
10) Those that don't keep Promises
if you can't do something, then don't promise it. naturally, when comes time that i believe your promises are as worthless as a penny, i will never do another thing for you, you lousy louse.
---
LOVE
---
1) The Mentor
everyone needs a mentor in their life. someone that inspires good things, that encourages good things, that teaches you things that you cannot learn from anyone else. a role model, if you will. i love people who inspire me and teach me new things.
2) The "Always There"
whether this person is your friend or a far away person you have never met before, i think that the person who you can talk to on a deep, emotional level as well as have fun with, is one of the most cherished peoples ever. where would i be without my little "always there" friend?
3) Sweet People
and i'm not talking about those that can sugar-coat words like a master. I'm talking about genuinely sweet people who honestly care about you, your feelings, and your well-being. those that will help without expecting something in return, those that will spark you to life.
4) Otaku's and Gamers
honey, if you are an otaku or a gamer, that's +5000 charisma for you. i LOVE otaku's and gamer's. i don't know what it is about them, but something about these people just have a certain charm, something that makes me admire them and like them.
5) Writers
i love writing. it's my passion. i also love reading. so i also love those that are writers, as we can exchange ideas, give criticism, proofread, and if they're also an anime fan...? we can roleplay! hahahha! <3
6) The Cuddler
i'm a sucker for cuddles. and i'm not just talking hugs. whether you're my friend or my fairytale prince charming, if you lean on me, or hold my hand, or play with my hair, or sit close to me and keep me warm when we are together? i automatically like you, and the cuddler can veto almost everything that i dislike in a person. that's how strong my desire for comfort is. i'm a lonely person after all. i just want someone to make me feel loved.
7) We're From the Same Place!!
i love people who come from my place of ancestry. honestly i've only met two of them but both clicked with me and despite knowing them for such short times, we could have such meaningful and fun conversations!
8) Kindhearted People
who doesn't love a kind person? i love people that are nice. nice people are almost always purehearted people as well. even though deep, complex people have their charms, a kind, simple person is also a great friend. because these people, much like sweet people, are soft spoken and care much for others. i think that anyone who can think of others before themselves is a wonderful, wonderful person to be around.
9) Playful Types
whether it's the avid party-goer or the fun jokester, everyone needs some fun once in awhile! I'm not usually associated with these types of people due to my "shy unless you're a close friend" personality, but if you can make me laugh, i probably like you. if you can include me, then all the more. i love playful people. quirky people. fun people.
10) Meaningful People, Deep People
i love having deep and meaningful conversations. it's nice to have depth in a person.
Anyway,
So there you have it!
My top ten most hated and top ten most loved aspects of a person! There's definitely more, for example "those that don't know limits" in hate, or "those that love travelling" in love,
but,
that's the most basic, minna-san! <3
And of course i don't claim to be perfect. My bad probably outweighs my good. Should i examine myself, then?
Well,
I'm a bit snooty at times, and also insecure. I can be argumentative but at the same time i'm a bit passive aggressive. I often don't keep my promises, and sometimes i'm very negative and complain a lot. i'm overly sensitive and a bit of a worrywart. i have a tendancy to keep it all in and then explode as well, instead of talking it out when the problem is just in the bud.
but to be fair, i have good attributes too -
i'm usually quite good; i try to think the best of people and i try not to judge. i can be very sweet at times although it's not always genuine. i forgive easily and i can adapt to many different kinds of people, and i usually do look out for the best interests of others.
i can say i'm pretty balanced in terms of good and bad. ^^
What about you? ;)
'Till next time, then! <3

What Girls Look for In a Guy ^^
Uwaaa~ Who am i to start talking about what girls look for in a guy??
It's a belated post, luvs! I apologize! Yesterday was Rememberance Day so there was no class, therefore there was no post. But here's the post for today! ^^
On a topic that is not gymnastics since there was no gymnastics this week :((
What Girls Look For in a Guy!!!
jk~
I don't know what girls look for in a guy ;)
I've heard a lot of things, "charming" or "good looking" or "charismatic" or "nice" or "funny"
But is there a perfect guy out there that is all of these things?
I don't think so.
It's because everyone has flaws that make life (and relationships!) so interesting... not that i'd know, since i've never been in one ^^;
Even if there was a perfect guy out there, i don't think i'd want him.
What good is a guy who is perfect? That isn't fun at all!
To put it simple, i think girls look for everything and nothing in a guy. Since, some guys can be the embodiment of one of the girl's wants, but still have a flaw that she absolutely despise.
What do *I* look for in a guy?
Ohohoho that's simple ;)
I don't.
Jk~~~~!
I'm still a maiden at heart, looking for my knight in shining armour ;D
Ya wanna know what i look for?
It's all simple, really. ^^
In no particular order i look for....
1) Interests --> What's the use in a guy who won't cosplay with me? who doesn't love anime? who doesn't play games? who doesn't enjoy fantasy novels?
2) Horror fan --> i love horror. i'm a huge scaredy cat but i love horror. +100 charisma if said dude will watch horror movies with me, play horror games with me, tell scary stories to me, explore creepy places with me. ^^
3) Love of Travel --> i want to travel, i love to travel, i want someone who also loves to travel so we can travel together :D
4) Tenderness --> i'm a bit childish, a little immature, and very airheaded at times (although not stupid) so i want a dude that loves me enough to cherish me and take care of me so that i will always feel safe and loved. ^^
If you're here looking for advice you're in the wrong place to be, bud~
But i suspect that most girls look for the same things.
To share interests and to love them unconditionally.
Although i don't mind if someone doesn't love me the way a whale loves krill. As long as they provide me with warmth and comfort, i don't give a damn if they love me or not ^^
Though i wonder...
Does that make me heartless?
I don't intend it that way....
Aiyaaa~ feels as though when time drags on my entries get more and more like a diary ^^;
you'll have to excuse me for that, luvs.
I'll make the next one better.
Stay with me, onegai!
<3
