New Year's Eve...

WHOOOOTTT This monday I met Sarah. She's a member in the Hello! Online forum that i befriended thanks to the Wonder Girls Festival in September (was it september?? lol). She lives in NY and she's really down to earth and friendly. Since she knows of japanese stores in NY, we planned to meet up there and go to the stores and have fun.

So, first we went to Book Off and WOW. I thought this store was going to be a small suished store but its the opposite. It has three floors and pure awesomness! I saw japanese cds I never thought I would ever see or hold hahhaha I saw the 3 UH dvds, the Bohemian Live, A lot of her singles, all of her albums..etc. LOL There was AAA, Koda Kumi, the brilliant greeen, L'arc en ciel, Yuna ito, Hirai Ken, Ayumi Hamsaki, Onitsuka Chihiro etc etc. too!! It was HEAVEN. That day there werent many Morning Musume cds so I didnt get any xcept for the 7.5 Mini-album. They also have the original j apanese games for Playstation. On the bottom floor they have magazines and books. I was hoping to buy a japanese magazine with someone i know on the cover but I didnt have luck. And they have a lot of mangas on the upper floor but about 95% of them re in japanese lol So, i started grabbing cds from everywhere on the shelfs (so much that i couldnt hold them lol). My brother gave me a $3o gift card and I was going to buy Hikkis 2 albums; First Love and Deep River with it but when i went up to the cashier, she told me it didnt except it since it the total was $32 lol But I didnt know that and we had this whole confusion situation...so i had to leave the albums...It was the last day of their sale so cds were like for $1, $3 lol I got an album for $5. Even though some of them are used, they are still in pretty good condition. I bought 8 cds there including Addicted to You by Utada Hikaru and Summer Song by Yui for Abraham. I love Book Off!! cant wait to go back....

Then, Sarah took me to Asahiya. They have magazines too but no luck again and there cds are mainly new releases and brand new so its a little expensive. I saw Koi wa Groovy x2!! and fianlly saw what ive been looking for on ebay; COVER YOU bu its like $37 so i didnt get it :( We didnt buy anything from there....
After that store we went to Kinokuniya. This store is big too and has magazines, books, mangas cds, anime figurines, booklets. A lot of Anime merchandise. I noticed this Final Fantasy Booklet thingy (in japanese) wth Cloud's face on the cover. Its a booklet of info about the new upcomign releases like the compliation of Final Fantasy XII and the 3 new Kingdom hearts! It was a nice booklet. In the corner they ahd a tv and they played the new trailer of Dissidia Final Fantasy and WOW the trailer was !!! It was like 3 mins of the heroes and villains fighting in AWESOME CG graphics! They had cds too like Yuna Ito's Pure Eyes, Tohoshinki live dvd, Mirotic and some other ones too but not many that i was xcited for except for Morning Musume's Sexy 8 Beat album or C-ute's Forever Love single...I didnt have enough moeny though cuz they were a regular price like $15 or $20 lol BUT i saw something that i just had to buy...Utada Hikaru's Prisoner Of Love..i was like WTT OMG its a must have so I bought it and used tried to use that gift card from before and it worked ^^ I am hoping to go back cuz i didnt get the chance to look at everythin they had and i really liked the store

After that we went to another cd store but its not asian or anything...I did see a Pink Domo lol We were going to go to a Korean store where there are Wodner Girls cds but time caught up with us so we didnt go. I decided to go back to Book Off and take advantage of the sale and buy as much cds as i can and use that gift card which had like $12 left. I wanted a random cd by an artist i didnt know so i bought Sakakibara Yui's album Joker for $5...i ended up buying 5 more cds so in total i got 14 cds for the day!! I have decided that until i reach 100 cds, i will slow down my purchases and continue my cd collection but in a slower rate.

Im gonna sleep over Mariam's house tonite whoohooo im excited for that ^^

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Years and hope you have enjoyed the awesome year that 2008 has been!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to miss this year

1st Semester = COMPLETED!

TODAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF MY FIRST SEMESTER IN COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!! I have had an awesome experience and survived lol I have an awesome skedule, awesome teachers (excluding 1 or 2), met awesome friends (exludin 1 or 2) lol ad basically I HAD FUN! lol hopefully its the same for next semester....

Today was HECTIC AND CHAOTIC!! Last night, i fell asleep at 1:30 am writing a 6 to 8 page paper on mythology. I woke up at around 6:30 am with a headache and stomache (cuz i didnt sleep well), dropped off my mom at her job and came home to sleep again. I had to pick up Elaine at her house around 9 but when I woke up again i ate breakfast and had to finish ANOTHER paper so i left my house around 9:25 which was not good cuz her and I had to print out all of our papers at skool to hand them in......the car didnt want to start .. its going to die soon

We got to skool and OF COURSE the computer lab had to be full!! But i was finally able to print out the reports and i handed them in on time so yayaya! lol

during our break, i pulled out my CAMERA! and asked elaine to take a pic with me but she kept refusing so i took pics of myself...she also took my camera away for a while cuz i kept on trying to convince her to take a pic lol


BUT, when elanie and I returned to the parking lot, my car wouldnt start!!! AHAHAHAHAH WHY!!!????!! lol So, i asked this girl to give me a jump or boost and shes like "idk how to use it..." It was funny cuz she had a face like 'please dont rape me...." lol i had to point my finger for her to roll down her window...but then the owner of the car next to us gave us a boost THNKS NICE MAN or guy..lol
BUT since we spent time starting the car, the parking ticket expired so I had to pull over the ticket booth and elaine had to go inside the building thingy and ask them to let us go...WOW wat a day lol

On the way to her house, i kept on insisting for her to take a pic with my camera and when she got off of my car i was able to catch a pic of her...getting off the car lol it looks kool though cuz it was raining (ALL DAY!!!) and it came out blurry but in a kool creepy way lol



Next week, are the finals and thats it!!! whoohooho

quoting Elaine's text: "so basically anything that could have went wrong today did." SO TRUE!!haahhaha
