ばか

I can't believe I just spent almost two hours doing nonsensical things when I could've continue finishing those 50 journal entries. *dying*

I shouldn't even be on this blog. The temptation is killing me....

I actually just finished dinner at almost 11 and its now 12.30. It seems that only 1 and a half hour had past.

At first, all I did was took this pictures

It was supposed to be inspirational to me, to keep doing those journal. There's about 41 to go. So, I wanted to post it on this blog. However, I stumbled upon Nina's entry. *drumrole please...*
She talked about how she have better things to do, yada yada, and one of it is to install an Arabic keyboard to her lappy. I just couldn't resist. I googled and learned how to properly use the keyboard for both Arabic and Japanese. I didn't really pay much attention to the Arabic since they use a completely different set on the keyboard. I have to relabel my keyboard if I want to properly type in Arabic or Jawi.

For the Japanese, I learn how to write for katakana and hiragana. I learned about the toggle keys to switch between the two, and also to switch between languages. Like so..。にほんご　I actually just wrote Nihon-go. ~^O^~

I'm quite happy even though I may have to pull an all nighter tonight. This is all just a late night musing. Sorry for all of you who have to put up with my crap all the time. I wanna post more reviews for books, but i just either keep jumping from one unfinished book to another or I don't have any idea (yet) to tell you how I feel about a particular book.

This week might not be possible with the amount of exam and workload that I have. Urgghh, new year or not, the show must go on. Typical.

Well, おやすみ　みな　さん

#14 Wild Ones

I have just finished this series. I'm waiting for dawn so let's just do a recap.

This story is about a girl who had just lost her mother. Since her father had passed away a long time ago, there was noone who can take care of her. Then, out of nowhere,a man suddenly came claiming to be her grandfather. He was also a yakuza. Since her grandfather realized that she would be uncomfortable with the new environment he appointed a caretaker who's near her age to be with her.

The story revolves around Sachie and the caretaker, Rakuto. It turns out that they have known each other since they were young. This is because, her grandfather loves to check up on her (but, from afar), so he always brings Rakuto along.

This puppy love began to bloom and flourish even after ten years.... Of course, there were rivals, hardships and other things to make them waver but they didn't. Oh, and they hook up at the 9 or 10th book because achie is kinda slow. Besides, Rakuto also have this inner demons and fear of his past.

Nevertheless, it is a sweet and sometimes funny story. It was worth wasting hours reading this ten books. I don't feel like ranting because I'm happy enough with the way the story goes. There wasn't even any character worth hating because everything turns out okay.

Moral of the stories are everywhere but I'm too lazy to think of it. I know that this book is unavailable in our country, so here's the link if you're interested. Click Me

This book has taken me approximately seven hour and 40 minutes to finish. The author has written the story beautifully making me love and hate the characters at the same time.

However, there's a little too much x-rated seen so it kind off annoying because I wasn't aiming for a smutty novel.

This book deals about the imperfection in all of us. To err is human. During the course of the book, I see the main character Grace, grow up and take charge of her life. Although, it's kind of an exact replica of Shopaholic, I was still amused.

The downside is, the guy is quite old. There's an 18 years difference. He's very rich but he's to wallowed up in self hate that he didn't realize that she loved him because of him, not his money. Sometimes I feel like strangling him and shake him out of his senses.

The best friend character wasn't really important here. I don't see the function of her. I much rather read a bout her boss. She's like the boss in The Devil Wears Prada.

This book talks a lot about arts, fashion and loads of other stuff that I don't know. At times, I feel like an idiot not knowing this stuff. Oh, and he offered him to be his mistress for lack of proper words. In my not so humble opinion, I think he has  fear of commitment.

In the end, it just shows that everyone deserve love and we're all fucked up in some way. Not forgetting that this book make me shed a tear or two. there's always the situation or sentence that might hit rather close to home.

Oh, and I realised that reading is my coping mechanism and it's not a very good thing for me. I'm not saying no to the knowledge and benefits. It's just that I tend to read when I'm stressed out or I have an important exam or class tomorrow.

To the readers, FYI, I'm gonna have my first OSPE tomorrow.
It's an exam than I sure will screw up. Now, I'm hoping for the best and start studying. I'm not going to end up like the main character who dropped out of her university 2 weeks before final because she can't cope with reality.
