Let it Be
Artist:the Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

STILL (English Ver.)
Artist：いとうかなこ

Everything now ruthlessly torn apart
All the things once I had are gone
Can't you hear, the dark blades of the night
craving for that wound you'll bleed

lost of all tears
my sight blinded of faith
lost voices call in pain
(but) nothing answers

Still I remember
(and) Still I see (yeah)
Awoken in the scorched out land of grief
And yet something grows within

Stretch out, egnite the light
Can I still believe?
the Amber Sunset
the brown soil lullabys
Green leaves on your skin

Still I see (Still I believe)

white morning lights
the soothing of noon breeze
silence of the stars filled the nights

now shattered to pieces (all are but memorys)

Still I remember

(and) Still I see (yeah)
breathing the sound of life
reviving the truth someday
even through blinded eyes

Still I remember
(and) Still I see (yeah)
spawning the world with light
hear the sound come to life
even through blinded eyes

Still I see...

Amazing Grace
Lyrics: John Newton

Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught..
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear..
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far..
and Grace will lead us home

The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun

Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost
but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see

for all the truth that you made me see

There are those who don't like the Olympics, particularly because of the "nationality" element. Some believe that it's "shoving each others' nationality in each others' faces, and can possibly encourage biases or favoritism (I want to (and do) not believe that tho). I'm sure not one of them tho☆! I dunno, isn't there a sort of driving enthusiasm to root for different countries? be it your own or another? :D
Of course I will respect your opinion if you disagree☆

The ~~self-proclaiming "live" footage~~ 400m Men's swimming relay was just on. My mother likes Japan's Kitajima Kousuke so I woke her up to watch XD wooot USA gold! Japan bronze! Congratulations EVERYONE!!

Japan and America play each other in Women's soccer on Monday (China time) :D Who will I root for? mmmmmm, can't decide (・ｗ・) I'll just look forward to the match!

VIVA SPORTS!

btw, is it just me or does NBC follow athlete's mothers in the stands? XD They definitely even have a mic guy near them too.

I took my doggies to the vet yesterday for annual check-ups & shot updates. After being sore & lethargic yesterday, they being REALLY hyper and rebellious today (=ｗ=;). Like this morning, one nudged me till I woke up, then the other took over my pillow when I got up.
edit: and now dragging out their bandages from yesterday out of the trash, getting my attention to remind me that it's dinner time (-▽-;)

Somebody tutored English to this little devil XD

Akaya/Morikubo Shoutaro ~~dang it I can't make it consistent how I type his name out~~'s new character song yay~! :D

I'd like to ask you guys' opinion.

In the lyrics, the red bit (see under cut), do you think he means "Looser" or "Loser"?
I think it works both ways, but I'm undecided on which would be a better interpretation.

So something just might fill this darknes tonight

Like my Togainu entourage? XD I got Motomi and n when Kinonuniya had a couple of these figureines in stock. They needed (?) Akira so once I found the bigger Akira, voila! My fav charas all nice and cozy together❤

One thing though, how can people handle figuerines? n has an attach-case which you're supposidely able to switch with the suitcase bag in his hand, but it's so tiny. I can't keep my fingers still enough to switch. I used to be able to made gunplas, but looks like my my dexterity skills' gone down (=w=;). But how can people handle heads, hands, and other things on stuff like that?

So, Iately I've been adding onto Out of Orbit: Depot. It's a journal where I attampt to transliterate and translate Japanese lyrics. I'm all caught up on the transliterating into romaji! Translations, er, I've only been able to finish about 1/3 (=w=;). Fun tho!

I moved the journal from GJ to IJ since GJ crashed ditched out on all its users (humph) (userpics went from 2000 → 100→5). They may have their collisions, LJ is the best journal site out there IMO. Others I've seen (while searching for a place to move the GJ), they're impossoble to figure out, won't let you join, or constantly get stuck on errors. IJ has it's gliches too, but I guess not as bad as others. Hopefully they'll change the navigation layout, because it makes userpages ugly.

My dogs had an encounter with a skunk last night so our house reeks of .... sickening smells.... (*faints)
I called the vet this morning and was recommended hydrogen peroxide. Chemistry dunce that I am, I have no idea how this works. I just finished wrestling in the shower to wash the two dogs. So far seems to be working? Such a horrible smell though, ugh...... I set up like 7 air fresheners... (￣ー￣;)

On a totally different note, YOU TWO are just the cutest things ever!!❤

Just a step and you're away

I feel dumb every time I let myself get worked up about online forum "discussions". No offense to anyone who genuinely thinks and comments, but manymanymaaany use those forums to just kill time and SAY BULL. It's like the pinnacle of people making anonymous comments to hear themselves speak.
Of course, people have developed ways to make those into workable communities. There are people who do take those seriously. And if a person want to spend all day on those sites that is absolutely up to oneself to decide and judge. However I have not achieved the wisdom to handle that. ...i.e. I let myself get annoyed when commenters either hord over an opinion and say how "dumb", "immature" and "morally flawed" disagreers are, or endlessly bash anything and everything for the sake of..... I don't know, sounding original? (=_=;).
Repeat to self, it's just a forum... it's just a forum... why should you care about anonymous comments on a forum...

Thing is, I have a VERY sensitive nerve when it comes to people hinting "be ashamed to think that!" "be ashamed to not agree with me!". Pokes DIRECTLY into one of my biggest pet peeves (=3=;). But online comments are another matter. It's not personal, it's not serious. Just a matter of either ignoring or sorting out within oneself.
.....ehehehe ...see, how I have to dissect and digest it like this is what I feel embarassed about σ(*´ｰ｀*;)

But hey, sometimes NicoNico&YouTube can produce some amusing stuff, like this (*slight spoilers for Higurashi?) and this XD (YouTube links since NicoNico requires you to log in)

Just had to make this:

Speaking of annoying, my car got broken into last week. While it was parked in our DRIVEWAY. Public parking lot, out in the street, I guess it happens, but right in front of your garage? when there's a motion-sensor light right there? I guess my poor little Toyota Yaris was an easier target than the SUVs, BMWs, or Jaguars in the neighborhood (*pets Yaris).
I didn't have anything fancy in the car, so it was stuff like chargers for cell-phones and ipods, sweaters, $10 soda-cooler, and sketchbooks that were stolen. Great loot huh? Noone got hurt, car wasn't drastically damaged, and the total sum of the stolen stuff probably doesn't go above $200, but still, bloody annoying. And quite frankly, I feel violated more than scared. The sketchbooks and sweaters stolen included stuff my friends gave me (;_;).
I'm willing to bet the "robbers" were just some neighborhood punks. Nobody who wanted real financial gain would steal risk breaking into a car petty stuff like notebooks. Probably the same asses who egg&toilet-paper people's cars at night or yell obsceneties at you across a super-market parking lot and think that's brilliantly funny. Dear kids, FIND A BETTER HOBBY.
(*sigh)

Whose turn is it next?

What have I been doing these days? Oh aboslutely lovingly nothing (=ｗ=)
I'd registered at a job-searching agency back in early May, so I have been job searching. Oh that thing where it was maybe possible I might be able to work at the bookstore I'd previously been at? That didn't work out. The people at the bookstore wanted me, and kept pushing for the owners to hire me, but just didn't go through. Oh well.

So, Hyotei cast is indeed changing for the next Tenimyu :( I guess it can't be helped, though does seem a little disappointing. The first Hyotei cast was so perfect. I'm actually quite relieved this many of the cast remained ﾟ+.(・ｗ・)ﾟ+.ﾟ.
I don't think it's that surprising Saito Takumi leaving as people are taking it though. The story on Japanese fansites was that the whole "ZOMG HYOTEI CAST WILL CHANGE!" thing started because Saito was pissed at fans grabbing at his crotch (=_=;). Then again, this rumor spread eons ago, even escalating to fans crying that "Tenimyu might be ending" (*cue ~~slight worry you don't want to admit you once believed~~ eye roll). Exactly why I avoid forums (well, one of the reason) -avoid unfounded "rumors" (GSD fans, remember those "ending spoilers"?).
Speaking of, the new Atobe got kicked off for "indecent behavior". my my what the heck did he do?

I'm thinking about changing the name of my dingie little site. The one right now seems a bit too, romantic? idealized? Yes yes it's an embarassing abbatoir-site noone should have to endure, but since I did start it, might as well take care of it （〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
Suggestions for a name? Please? Any? ~~If you leave it up to me it'll likely become a song title or lyrics~~.

Also, anybody want me to link to their site? Wait, let me rephrase that -Will anybody let me link to their site? +｡:.ﾟ(人〃∇〃)*｡:.ﾟ*ﾟ.:｡+ﾟ(〃∇〃人)ﾟ.:｡+
