Utada!

WHOOT! I'ma big fan of Utada Hikaru...

I'm ubberly excited for her album and i just checked some news from her:

- her new song "Come Back To me" has been released in the radio but it doesnt actually mean its playing on some stations...we just gotta request it (>.<)

- And some of her tracks have been renamed like "FYI" to "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence - FYI" which i like better (^0^)

anyway, I've had her song stuck in my head for a while now... :)

Hmmmm

Hmmm....When I was small and Beanie Babies were really famous (I was around 10 yrs old); I use to think those little stuff animals were annoying! But during 5th grade I got good grades so my mom bought me a Happy Meal and i got a penguin teenie beanie baby...and I loved it! HAHHAHA I'm a huge fan of animals so thus my collection of Beanie Babies started.....

But throughtout the years, I slowly stopped liking them and just stopped my collection...I still have all of them and one will sell them (I guess I'm just waiting for the right time lol)

But today, after school, (3rd day of 2nd semester!!!) I went with my mom to a store and they have really REALLy old beanie babies from 1993, '95, '96.....and they are cheap $4...beanie babies usually cost from $6 to $7...so I was like "you know....even though I don't collect them anymore, I have to get one of these OLD ones" so i did (i got 2):

In total (to this day) I have 157 Beanie Babies...and I don't plan on it growing anymore~

Family...

Ah family....My father has 2 brothers and 3 sisters which equals 6 children...they all have kids so that equals LOTS OF COUSINS!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahhahaha 15 cousins (including myself and my brother)

Some of us live in different states in either Florida, Pennsylvannia or NJ....even though some of my cousins live close enough for me to visit them everyday, we still don't spend that much time together.....One of my cousins named Kriscia (the second oldest out of all of us) lives in Vegas but came over to Pennsylvania and Jersey to visit our family...So, i got a call from her today asking me if we could meet up and stuff and so we decided that we would meet up at my brothers house....

And to our surprise, she came with my other cousin Abigail (who i last saw like in the summer [shes in one of the previous posts]), my other cousin Helen with her father; my uncle (i havent seen them in like 4 to 5 years) and she also came with her husband Justin who we havnt met but hes really kool and FUNNY

We all talked about what we've been doing all these years and even though it was for a little while, i had fun and it was really nice seeing them ^0^

Nutcracker Face

My face is like this because its for a project Abraham and I have been doing for like 2 years now (project: we write lyrics by "remaking" songs and record the songs and release them digitally for fun ^^) and i did the designs on my face like that to represent a sort of nutcracker/elf thing lol its for my song "Little Red Knight" hahahaha i like how the cover of the song came out

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

XMAS!

This year we werent able to get an xmas tree like we always do becuase there isnt a lot of money this year (due to the economical status) and we simply didnt have time..but on Christmas eve (while getting ready tog o to Cynthia's house for Christmas) my mom hands me a christmas tree!! For xmas trees are important in christmas so the whole week i was complaining how we didnt get a tree but my mom bought me my own KAWAII tree...

it matches with Crimson (the nutcracker)

So, this is what i got for xmas:

- $30 gift card for H&M whoot!
- $20 from my stepfather
- $25 gift card for itunes...the problem is that i dont download things for itunes so idk wat im going to do (>.<)

- $60 from my mother which she gave me to buy cds/dvds which i already did!!

and today I went and bought Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories!!!!!!!!!!! whoot i cant wait to start this game and my mom also bought me the new IPod!!! (w/ a clear case) I have NEVER owned an ipod so today was really exciting!!!!
