Me, Myself and I : I think that if you are reading think you probably know me by now, but if not, then : My friend called me X, yeah, must be the left over from my X-Philes day, I think I still am, really. So, it's X. What I do for a living is not really important, just know that most of the time it's boring. My favorite things to do... I read, a lot, and I write, some. I watch a lot of movie (certain kind of movie) and a lot of anime, yes Japanese Anime. I got a collection of them and also what I tried to watch with fansub on week to week basis (which is a lot) and go out and get the ones I like when it actually licenced and out in my neck of the wood.
Movies and Tv Show, oh yeah, those are the 'must' for me. I watch at least 10 shows each week, so that's a lot of TV right there, as for movie I tried to see them (the ones I'm interested in, which is easy to say that it doesn't include comedy or romance in anyway).
Music : NIN, Staind, Taking Back Sunday, Chevelle, Disturbed, P.Roach, Mary Elizabeth McGlyn, Evanescence, Finch, I think you kinda get the idea.
Poster Girls : Sarah Connor and Cameron Philips Series : Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles Program : The always faithful Photoshop and Dreamweaver, because I can't code everything by hand, just don't have that kind of patient.
shows
I was watching L&O SVU season 5 again last night, and saw the first ep that Casey Novak showed up as their ADA, it was... so weird!
The transformation of Novak's hair within 40+ min of the show. It's like they are trying to show her assimilation into the SVU through her hairdo.
Well, I like her, not as much as Alex Cabot, cause you know.. gorgeous, blond, smart, and god she's sexy in the court room (yes yes yes, weird, I know, but I like blonds, blue eyes.) So, I'll be watching reruns of L&O for the kick of it. I never really pay attention much during the first run, but hey.. good to watch the old thing, see if you miss anything.
Ordered some more eye, this time glass. We'll see if I'm gonna use them. But then, They are all in blue tones. :D
I put fur wig on Dillon again last night.. man, big hair!
He looks good either way.
Pick up some fabric today, and lost my Buddha not really a fair trade. But what am I gonna do. Life suck, but whatever.
head arrived
The head of CustomHouse Ange-Ai Hani arrived today, I was expecting it tomorrow, since Tanya sent it out yesterday. It was a pleasant surprise, I felt like I'm getting a gift, even though I paid for it. LOL
She looked awesome, so I'll have to e-mail Tanya to let her know that the package got here. I think I might weird her out. LOL.
So, I have plan for this girl already, for her open box that is. It'll befitting the halloween.
It's time for me to put up a new layout for the homepage too.. probably by the end of this week, or next.
it's all coming together slowly
I'm getting things back, one by one, though, one by one.
I got my Photoshop, Dreamweaver, ActiveSync, RocketDock, Spybot, Avast, Firefox, Thunderbird installed in the last 3 nights. What a pain, let me tell you.
First and foremost, I got my firefox installed, because all my bookmark were on Firefox (my browser of choice for the last couple of years), but that was a bust at first, for whatever reason, I could not, for the life of me, start up the damn thing. It kept crashing and crashing and crashing, and this was after I loaded 3.5.3 version.
But suddenly it was working, so I still don't know what was wrong before. Weird, huh. And then the menu was in Thai! I was pissed!! I can't use it, I'm not use to it. So I went and load the en-us version and install, but I installed the wrong one (they were saved on different folders) by the time I figure it out I nearly pull out my hair. I mean god I just made a trip to the dentist that was bad enough and to add the headache to it?
Un-fucking-believable.
But after a while (like hour) I got that done, all bookmark synced. Now, on to Thunderbird. That was a pain as well. I can't believe. Took forever to set up too.
But now I got most things more or less the way I wanted, I can start update DWP list. I'm looking for good images to make new layout as well.
I gotta go get Enigma install for my desktop too..
desktop upgrade : 1 more day
So, I'll be expecting my upgraded desktop tomorrow before noon.
And I have dentist appointment tomorrow noon. I never like dentist, so I usually try to put it off as much as I could. *sigh* I really don't wanna go.
I don't think I'm gonna take laptop home tonight, don't wanna carry it around. LOL
I forgot to bring the new mouse to the store, though. Can't believe I forgot. I guess I'll have to give it to my mom tonight and let her bring in the morning, since it'll be her that will need it in the morning. She plays solitaire, I told her to play with other game, she won't try. Oh well.
desktop : off to be upgraded
I'm on my laptop right now, which I had to bring back from the store, since my desktop was off to be upgraded this morning. I'm upgrading ram, processor, power supply, and a bit here and there, not eveything. I'm not getting anew monitor either, since I like my old 19" one. I wouldn't know what to do with a bigger one otherwise, and what the hell am I gonna do with a perfectly good monitor if I get a new one. Throw away seems like a lot of waste.
I'll change when it's no good anymore, but not a moment before.
So, now I can't do a few things from this, I can't do anything with the website, since I don't have proper files and program on here. Though it was more of a no files on here. Can't scan either. I have to do the sign for a friend, though. I still can't figure it out what I wanna do. So, it'll be later tonight (it's later enough already, though) I'll do a few research too.
Face-up is slowly coming along, while I read through a few tutorials, I'm also trying to figure out how I wanna do it, and what I'm comfortable with.
new collection
I bought a small set of Sylvanian Families the other day.. it was Papa Boris' Garden set. I like small things, so Re-Ment, Sylvanian Familes (Calico Critters in the US I think) are right on target. :)
The mall nearby has a sale right now. You can get 3 or 4 levels shelves for $8 and $11 respectively. The outside of it is white, but the inside is either blue or pink. I wanted the blue, but there as no blue (or maybe I didn't see it) so I picked up 4 levels one, I might get more. Maybe I'll lay in on the side on top of my other shelves. Actually, the purpose of it was so I can have a place to put my dolls in and small things, because they occupied my other desk and I needed the space, last thing I really need is to knock one of them off the desk because I was getting stuff. They are a bit too expensive for that.
The size of each level was pretty good, even though it's not high enough for the doll to stand (it was a little under 12") But it's fine. I made a closet for it too, cause I need a place to hang up the doll clothes.
My sister just sold 1 and she's gonna go ship it out today.
She said she's gonna bring all her dolls (the one she might sell) and leave them all with me, because there seems to be problem everytime she said she gonna sell. It was weird.
I told her maybe they didn't wanna leave!!
Anyhow, I got stuff filled in on each shelves already, but things are subject to change. :)
Blogger's being a B yesterday, I couldn't get in, don't know why.
And when I finished the dolltrunk, I will start on a new layout for this and my site as well.. time to change.
Belate, Happy New Year and all that
Wow, it's been a really long while.
I've been occupied with other things. Nothing really stand out, just a bunch of stuff.
Recently (well, it's been months) We decided that a wireless internet access is a good addition to the apartment/hotel thing we have. So, yeah, we talked for a while, mainly me and my aunt, since she's overseeing day-to-day things here. Quite a few guests were asking for it, already. So, we decided, yes, we'll get it.
First, the phone company was being an ass. I don't see why we couldn't get 2Mps speed when I can get it easy for personal use. They said they couldn't, my question was why, since it's not like they send us the wireless signal, but instead we got it through phoneline like in the house. What morons.
Anyhow... we set it up normally, though I have no idea if it was the way it usually done in building like this. But it's easy for me to get it done and maintain myself, so it'll have to do.
We got N1 Vision by Belkin because it has the strongest signal. Of course, that doesn't cover 5 floors, so after N1 is set up. I picked up range extender, also Belkin (easier to get them all the same brand, compatibility is key here)
I got the extender set up this morning. Worked well, when I figured out that the security didn't match on both.
Had to be WPA and TKIP, instead in N1 it was WPA+WPA2. Now I just have to hook it up on the 3rd floor and then maybe another one on the 4th and we're homefree.
Picked up a new Nintendo DS lite as well. A black one. I had N5DS before hand and whatever people review said, it did not give me any problem. At all.
Also got NDS Lite in white for my sister too.. and Kitty's case for it. Cost me a pretty penny, so she better appreciate that.
Now I'm addicted to it. I'm playing My Sims, Harvest Moon IoH, Animal Crossin : WW. Such a dork I am.
wifi/star war tribute
Tuesday : Me and another 2 friends went to pick up a Belkin Wireless ADSL Modem+Router G+ Mimo instead of going to my violin lesson, of course I was planning on canceling the class anyway since I wasn't feeling well and my throat hurt. So, it was a perfect timing when my instructor also called to cancel.
So, we picked up the Belkin G+ Mimo. Before that my friend also picked up a Belkin G+ for her home use, this latest one was for her cousin's office. We didn't think that there would be any problem, since they set up the thing easily, except the security which she called me up for help. It took little time at all for her and 2 brothers to get it going. Of course the one that actually did the setting up was her younger brother.
Now, right the next day she called me up that she couldn't get it to work. So, I sat and look through Belkin site for her, the hard part was that, I don't know what she was looking at, I have to be there to actually be of any help.
She said she should pick up her brother for him to do it. But she didn't.
Today : I spent most of the day trying to help her out over the phone, it's like flying blind, we did several times, but I never really sure what she was looking at. I guess we'll do it again tomorrow. She was having problem with the internet itself. So, I told her to try calling the ISP to see if their line was perfectly fine. SO we could be sure that it was the modem and not the ISP. My phone nearly die but before that she said she had it for today.
Guess we'll start again tomorrow.
I never knew setting up a dame wireless modem+router could be so hard.
I saw this the other day from Youtube... and well.. Love it!!
no class today!
I have no violin class today, my instructor canceled it, not that I feel all too good anyway.
Friday night I woke up (well, Saturday morning) at around 5 AM itching all over, but what I felt was stomachache first, but after that the itch set in. Man, that was a torture. I got some anti allergy from mom and took it. Then right the next morning she woke me up, and then I found that something was wrong.
Went to the doc, nothing serious, but annoying. I mean how would you like to go around all day feel like something stuck at the back of your throat you can't swallow and then when you tried you gonna upchuck all over the floor.
Yeah, so I got some medication for allergy reaction I had, which we still don't know what it was that I was allergic too. (suck, big time) Doc said I have to pay closer attention to what I was eating.
I wasn't even eating any seafood. weird.
But now I'm feeling a little tired all day because the med. Still I have to take all of them, for 7 days, and then I have another appointment.
A friend of mine decided that she's gonna clear up everything at the place she's at right now and come home.
I said it's about time.
I mean, she said she has opportunities there, which I wasn't sure about, but it's been years now and they didn't pan out, none of them.
And now it sounded like they are trying to chain her to where she was, and give her nothing at all. So, I told her, come home. Better off here even if she get small salary, because no rent to pay.
So, we'll wait and see if there's anymore obsticles.
Sometimes people thinks they are being nice by saying she would be miss and all, and she should say, oh what would we do without you and all that, but they didn't help when she has no money. So, how nice are they being?
Anyhow, I'm chatting with her everynight (well, almost everynight) I'll let her borrow money if she needs to, but she said she won't until she's really desperate.
