Changes and Updates

     So as I have mentioned in my opinion page, I'm going to do some changes to my blog. Cuz I feel like my blog isn't very personal, or anything that makes it different from other blogs that says "hey. here's this drama. go watch it" uknow? I want to add more of my opinions and interests, so that this blog isn't so boring. I don't really care about haters, or people that just drop by once saying "love your blog" when in reality they've only read 3 posts or something.
     The content of this page won't change since I still like to talk about movies, dramas and all that good stuff. Which I still haven't mentioned the ones that I'm watching and reading at the moment. xD I've been so busy with my finals lately, that I can't afford to procrastinate that much, or avoid doing my work just because I don't want to do it.

     As said, I hope that those who visit my blog after these changes will be more interested in keeping in touch with me, and seeing what I will post next.

~*~

     I've also added an art page, on the tabs on top of this blog, to connect my readers to my artwork. Just as a brief introduction: I have an account on www.deviantart.com where I post all of my artwork, even the shitty ones. And I'm just too lazy to repost all of that artwork in my blog, so I'm just creating a link so it's easier to go to. You can see my work under the gallery tab.

~*~

     Then...let's see....

     I'll also be adding my personal touch to my blog by making my own banners and background so I don't get yelled at by "waa you don't have copyright!!". So just to be safe, I'll make my own.

     Otherwise, just be prepared for a bit of a change. I think it's time to add some freshness.

In The Process of Making My Decision A Fact!

As of now, I'm not sure what I'm going to watch next

since the time before spring break [in college] tends to

be very busy, and I really need to get my math grade up.

Otherwise, I'll be forced to leave the class....not good!

And, from this thursday [mokuyoubi] I will start taking

Japanese classes in Chicago city. So much for that extra time. :P

But oh well, it's worth it.

I was thinking about watching something like:

Kami no Shizuku with one of my so-so favorite actors,

but I'm still not sure. I'm on the last episode of Pasta so 

I don't know if i want to watch another one about food.

But who knows right? Oh, and btw. For all the girls out 

there who like Pasta, you'll definitely like episode 13. :P

The guys take their shirts off!

In other news, I had watched Nobuta wo Produce. 

 It's actually really exciting,

since I found myself in a similar position. [Just found out

that one of my friends likes me.]

 It's such a sweet

story, and I fell into a crush with one of the actors again. ;)

My story? Right now I'm going out with someone, but 

recently got really pissed and many things that he did. I told

him about it too, but he doesn't seem to understand my

viewpoint of it. But let me take you waaayyyy back!

Before I even asked him out the first time, I was hesitant 

about it because I was kinda crushing on someone else at

the same time [though I got the vibe that this person just

wanted me as a friend], so that's how I made my decision

to go out with the one I am currently with. But now, that

situation has changed. This is the second time that I am going

out with this person. I don't know why I asked him out again,

because since the beginning I just wanted to be friends.

But anyways, so the person I had mentioned earlier just

happens to be my friend now who I just found out likes me?

Maybe I heard wrong....but it would have been nice if he

told me that LONG before all this crap happened.

But don't get me wrong. :P

He asked me if he was just a nice guy like in the video,

and I told him that there is potential for him to jump to

the other latter. 

Want to know what video he was talking about?

Here it is! Blam! [lol, i know. I'm a nerd]

These guys are really talented, so please give them

a try. :)

Great Concert

An update on my life:


went to Utada Hikaru concert and,
IT WAS GREAT!
it was at The House of Blues in Chicago City.
the room was a bit small too, but it was sold out!
it was all standing,
so now i deal with back pain. ><


nonetheless, it was great and she sounds great
live.


now, with first 2 weeks of 2nd semester,
I have 2 tests coming up, so I really have to study. ><
I hope I don't fail math class.

Webjong.com

Isn't this so cute?

I thought it adorable when I saw her artwork,

so I thought to share it with 'you guys'.

Thoughts of the New Year

For a while now,
I was thinking of writing another blog
that is a bit different from this one.
But I didn't know what to write about...


One night after my mom and me went
home from shopping, I was rambling how
parents in America piss me off.


And it hit me!
I should write about the things that piss
me off, or at least things that irritate me.
What do you think?


I thought,
it may be too opinionated and people
may not like it, or the opposite.
I'm still waiting to hear what others say
about this.


Instead of rambling about things many
times, I could write about it!
Who knows? Maybe it can turn into a
book (hon).
What Really Ticks Me Off
by: Llesi

Normal Day

For some weird reason,
I don't feel very happy after --- came over.
First because he was about 2 hours late
(not really his fault).
Second, my mom was in the same room so
not much privacy for talking.
Third, he was picked up earlier than I
expected. Which means,
I had no time to give him the part of the
present that I had finished for him.
Overall, I received something I didn't
want (not literally).


I'm a little confused and not sure what
to do or what to think of today.


What I ate today?
edamame and tiramisu cheesecake


2 days before x-mas.
Hopefully my spirit will come back. >_>


---, missing you.

Happy Birthday

Yesterday (19 December)
was my birthday. It was ironic since I turned
19 years old on the 19th day.
It's been snowing outside for a while, and it won't
stop.
In other news,
the day before Ted and me got to see each
other. He wants to hang out again, but he makes
it impossible for me to make his present in time. xD
It's going to be something small for this year,
but in the end I hope he likes it.


And about the car accident,
the car ended up being totalled. Meaning they
cannot fix it since the cost of fixing it is more that
how much the car is worth. It is ok though.
We managed to use only 1 car for the last week
of school.
Next semester, school for me will end a bit
later so I will not have to wait that long for
my mom to pick me up.


Mini Ninjas:
An awesome Wii game that I am totally addicted
to right now! It is taking me a while since I need
time to make the presents for both ted and my
mom. But I somehow still find time to play it.
And now that I don't have homework to worry
about, I can call him just to talk and not worry
about staying up to late talking.


Although,
last time it did worry me. I heard him and his mom
arguing about something.....and it was a pretty
long arguement. He told me he was mad, but
i hope he's ok.


Happy Holidays to everyone out there!

More Jessy Drama-ness

CRASH:

So.....I got into a car accident. ><

Both air bags came out, and smoke

was coming out too.

It was scary....

It was the first accident I have as the

driver, and it was snowing and cold....

I hope they won't total the car. ><

That would mean buying another car.

JAPAN PROGRAM 2010:

In my teacher's blog, he mentioned

'' there are many enthusiastic for ---

this year", so,

I am hoping that 'these' people are

not otakus and actually have a 'normal

gene' in them. Other than that,

I also wonder if I have to stay with

a host family with another student too.

FINALS:

The tests no one likes, and the week

that we most fear.

And it's here! ADM!

What is cool about college? Not every

class makes a final. O.O!!!

This semester, I have finals for

Sociology class and Philosophy class.

I am a little worried about Sociology

because it's hard for me to remember

hard words. xD

But we (where i go to college), will

have a break after it. So, it will give

time to rest and enjoy x-mas.

After that, a new semester starts.

Woot woot!

On this note,

this will keep me a little busy since

I need to study.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE:

OMG!

They are featuring Wondergirls.

So ExCiTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updates On My Life

Meeting GTS
It was really interesting...
I think it was the first time I ever saw a teacher
wearing an abercrombie-looking-red sweater,
with jeans and slim gym shoes.
All of this while teaching in the morning,
and doing my interview.
Nonetheless,
he gave me the packet at the end of interview.
This is the part where I fill out MORE papers for
Japan trip (including physical to check if I am
healthy, social security, とかとか。。。).
He asked somewhat-personal questions too, like:
~have you ever traveled outside the country?
  which i said: well, it would be imposible if i did not,
  because i was not born here...
~do you speak other languages? do you speak them
at home?
  i said: yes -->spanish. mostly at home 99%, and when
  family visits. then i explained how my おばあさん ,
  (私 の おばあさん) does not know a lot of english, so
  i have to translate everything for her.
Overall, I was happy. Still am.
Hopefully, I can finally finish those papers before my
birthday and xmas.


Register For New Classes
Next semester's schedule will be a little longer than
this semester.
MONDAY:                       WEDNESDAY:            FRIDAY:
9 - 9:50: English 1102          English 1102            same

11 - 11:50: Intro to             Intro to R.               same
                Religion
12 - 12:50: Math                 Math                       same
1 - 3:45: Art/Drawing         Art/Drawing             -----

TUESDAY:                                     THURSDAY:
7 - 9:30 pm: Japanese 1101                     no classes


I looked at the schedule, figures...there is no
Japanese 1101 during morning (for credits). TT_TT
This semester I end MONDAY, WEDNESDAY,FRIDAY at
1 pm, and 12 afternoon on TUESDAY, and THURSDAY.
So next, I will leave later, but i will have no classes on
thursday, and tuesday i only have the japanese class at
night time.
So i guess is ok. ^^
As long as I take the japanese class, I am satisfied.


Thanksgiving.
This week many people I know are talking about it.
Personally,
I have never celebrated it. In puerto rico, this is not
a holiday, so there is no reason for me to start anyway.
Although, I enjoy the time off from school.
That means---> *drum roll* ----> more sleep time!!!!!!

 Japanese
 I finally finished human japanese(trial).
It really wasn't that hard.....it just took me time to
memorize vocabulary to use around the house.
To help me, I wrote the word in kana, color with
highlighter, and put them around the house. I used
romaji (under the kana) because my mother was
interested too, and she doesn't know how to read kana.


And from the book that I learn from, I finally finish 
memorizing family / かぞく, and major family members.
The patern is really easy too. Now i just want to learn the
word for cousin; just for fun, and because I like to study.
I feel very proud of myself that I have taught myself
this, with no help from teacher. ^^
Maybe I will take more time to study during Thanksgiving.


Huge Paper On Freedom.
After my english teacher said "she doesn't like to give
work during break, because the whole point of a break
is to have a ..break." Well well well, now I have to
work on a huge paper about freedom, and how
freedom is a great thing with the proper usage of power.
I will focus more on international issues, since only US
freedom is kind of boring...for me at least.


Don't Ask Me
Some people I know, recently, have asked me: which one is
better, Japan or USA?
Please, I hate answering these kinds of things,
because then I have to explain there is no right or wrong.
This type of question is only based on opinion.
And what makes a person think they are right?
This is like asking me: which one is right and which
one is wrong.
There is many aspects of both countries that are good,
and there are bad ones too. But I do not believe US is
better, or Japan is better.
Example: I don't agree with the fact that Japan has a
constitution, though it is more like "guidelines" than law.
And US still does not have equal pay between women
and men. It's proven that for every dollar (1.00) a man earns,
a woman earns 3/4 of it (.75 cents).


I comes down to the question of: where would you
rather live, Japan or USA?
This I can actually answer --> USA, but I would travel to
Japan often. Everyone has their own things they like,
and dislike. Not everyone is the same, so this answer
does not need much explaining.


Ending On A Good Note
In maybe,.....3-4 days, we will receive the Training
Pacekt for Wii. This will be fun. muahahahahaha.

Rakuten

A person told me about this site.
And, actually, i saw it as an add too.


After looking around, it seems interesting
and reliable,
although I will probably be spending time
with the money exchange rates.
I found the page with the cute characters,
which is really not that hard...
But anyways,
I figured it was a good site and thought
maybe 'you' would like it.


Go here

Utada Hikaru

ADM (a.k.a  OMG in spanish)


I haven't been to a 'concert' in a while,
and the last time I had an opportunity,
was when the Wondergirls were
performing as opening act for the Jonas
Brothers....not cool.
Hopefully, it will be a nice event. ^^

I think this is the meeting/interview part.
I am nervous because i dont know what to say. ><

This morning,
I even woke up early than usual, because
I was so excited!!!!!!! And still am. ^^
Un otro paso para 2010 Japón.

Otras noticias:
now that my mom drives the new Hyundai car,
I am not stressed about thinking about the train,
or bus! NO LONGER! It is so nice to leave whenever I want.
Yesterday, I even stopped at [Noodles & Company] <--a restaurant,
and I had my usual [Pesto Cavappati Noodles] with
[Orange/Mango Juice].
Another huge step for JESSY! Un otro paso jigante para JESSY!

Still learning katakana. > .> there is alot of
homework these days, i barely have time to
study during free time. TT_TT

Just received my passport picture.....
it looks ok. I had to get in person, because there is a law
that if you get a passport under 16 years of age,
when renew-ing it, you have to come in person.
My first passport, i got it when i was 12 and in spanish.
In my older
picture, I look younger, but still the same. xD
Now, just have to send it to office and they are suppose
to make a new passport and mail it to our home.

Stalking Cat

I was watching this before my 9am class,
and I could not stop laughing. xD
Plus, I was in the library, so I felt weird
for laughing, because it was really quiet.

I hope you like it as much as I did.

Consumer Economics

Here is the new Ne-yo music video [Never Knew I Needed],
featuring in the new Disney movie [The Princess and The Frog].
WOW! They finally have a princess that's black, and not white with
blonde and blue eyes. xD
Personally, I have met ne-yo in person (parent works at mcdonalds
corporation so you get to meet people. kinda cool), and he's kinda boring.
But this is only my opinion.



But, back to the point of this post.
When i took the Consumer Economics class, I was bored a lot. xD It was
easy<-----that was the problem. So now that I look at my notes, there is
something I wrote. It's really funny too. xD xD
Here goes:::

To my dearest Sugarplums,

The 1st time i met you, i fell in love. It was love at first sight.

Everytime you were not around me, there was an empty

feeling inside me, yearning for you. When I do see you,

I don't know what to say.

My heart starts beating for the 1st time.

Your eyes are like the meatballs in my spaghetti, your hair is

like the noodles in my ramen soup; curly and hard like stone,

then smooth and silky.

Your face is like the picasso painting in my memory (which is

extremely fuzzy right now. In fact, I don't think i like picasso

that much anyway, to tell you the truth. I mean, come on!

Was the guy on drugs or something? Even a grade school

student can draw better than him!) Your body is like the pen

I am using to write this; flat, gray, and no curves at all.

Your smile is like that half watermelon I bought last weekend,

but went rooten because I forgot to eat it. Your feet

are like the steamed potatoes I ate yesterday, which were

actually not that great, but if you let the taste

linger a little bit, it actually tastes ok.

Your fingernails are like the Sun-Day chips, waiting

to get some sun (or finally have the cheese underneath

eaten). Your belly is like the ice-cream cake I saw in

a bakery last night, that when you look really

close, it actually has holes in it filled with I don't know what.

Your legs are like the kimchi my friend forced me to eat;

not much eaten but never forgotten for its weird look.

You have always been on my mind, even when I hired

someone (who's name shall not be revealed) to take

pictures of you and how i secretly wrote your name

all over my notebook,

hoping that you would not notice, but kinda notice.

My heart yearns for your lovely alfredo sauce touch

of your skin.

Please write me back when you read this. You can

write me at: desperatelover@yahoo.com!

Yours Forever (until the ketchup bottle runs out),

Señor Kole Esterol.  <3

By the way,

the email i used in this letter is not real!

None of this is real!

Obviously, i was bored and had nothing to do.xD

what do you think? is it funny?

Hyundai Elantra 2010

This week (on Friday),
we got the 2nd car.
It's a Hyundai Elantra 2010. ^^v
I am very excited, because
now I don't have to run to the
train, or wait for the bus.
My schedule is more flexible now
too. So instead of waiting 3 hours
at school for ISO club to start,
I can go home, have ramen, sleep,
then come back.
And, now that it is raining more
and the weather is colder, I can
just drive home. ^^v

This is a similar model, how it
looks in the inside.

Although,
this is the car my mom will drive.
I am driving the older one. Because
if I was primary driver of the new
car, the insurance will be A LOT
more. x_x

Other news:
Yesterday (Saturday), I went to see
[Astro Boy] and [Good Hair]. Astro
Boy was pretty good, but i thought
the cherry blossom tree in the end
was too much. Too dramatic for a kid
movie. But it did look pretty. ^^

Daylight Savings Time now changed.
Which means, more time for sleep.
Woot woot . o^^o

On Wednesday, it was raining, and I
had my hair straight. So, after a
while, my friend says, "Woah. How
did you put your hair curly? I just
say you 30 minutes ago...".
How can I explain this? >_>

Smoke

I am writting from the computer in school library. >.<
There is not a lot of privacy, so I will keep this
short.
There is a rule: "If smoke, you have to be 25feet
away from the door". Obviously no one follows this.
When I walk out of the doors, to go to bus stop,
I smell smoke.
If side door to 'lounge area outside' is opened, the
smell of smoke comes inside, to the hallway.
If someone in my class smokes, the smell stays on
their clothes and breath. Yuck!
I'm sick and tired of these people.

When I wait for the bus, there is always someone
smoking next to other people who are not smoking!!!!
Yesterday, I told a guy to smoke some other place
unless he really wants everyone else to die with him.
He looked at me like I was crazy. I didn't care. He
made a rude comment, and left. Mission acomplished. ^^v

Don't ask other people, "Do you smoke? Do you mind
that I am smoking?". wtf people?
If I smoked, I would be smoking with you. And of
course people would mind! Such a stupid question. (> .>)

Talking in poem

The rock falls
One moment the floor hurts
River still moves.

Eat fruit-loops

Still hungry.

Wait for train
[douuuushite kimi wo suki natte shimatandarou]
10 minutes late
cold wind.
No one is home.

One of my favorite songs TT_TT.

Nothing-ness xD

So, I still have homework,
I just don't want to do it. xD
Then, when I AM bored, i think,
"maybe I should do my homework".
Is it bad to procrastinate? >_>?

I really just don't feel like doing
anything, unless it has to do with
studying japanese. And that class
will not start until next semester. TT_TT
I wonder if Teacher Shingo teaches
kanji in 1101 class... Then I will
REALLY have to study. xD

Just found out I got B in philosophy
test (Friday). Woho! I only got 4
questions wrong, and 1 of the questions
was the 1 that I knew I was not going
to get. xD But, didn't fail. ^^
This Thursday? More testing. =_= For
Career Development class.
and English class? My teacher is still
mean as always. >_>

::My schedule after school end::
wait for 12:59pm bus to Naperville
Train Station ---> wait for train that comes
at 1:33pm(more or less)---> get off train
---> walk home (about 6-7 minutes or less).
When I walked home today, it was so cold!!!!

my feet. Tired?もっと Good news? Did not
have to pay for train today. xD
