Joys And Sorrows

It was inevitable. I understand why, but I'm still a bit nostalgic. The excitement of rental stores is something no one will experience again. Even if they are obsolete. Oh well, that's the price of progress.

Hastings is still going strong. Granted, they also sell games, comics, music, books, have in-store coffee shops, and carry a wide variety of interesting things aside from the aforementioned, but they also still rent movies and games.

I do believe that's been the case for a while, the remaining stores were still depending on the "hey we're here and bored let's rent a movie there just for old times sake" line of thought.

Still sad though.

Joy: PE is hard, but I think that right now I'm the fittest that I've ever been in my life. Barely any fat whatsoever and I can run as far as I feel like given proper breaks.
Sorrow: I think it's taking a toll on my muscles. Today we did some running and after the end of it my legs ached and felt like they were swelling and contracting, over and over again. I couldn't stop cringing for the entirety of third period, it was a sickening feeling.

Doing too much too quickly will overwhelm you, you have to ease yourself into the fitness thing or you won't be used to it.

Sorrow: I'm too un-motivated to draw.

Sorrow: There's this super typhoon coming our way. Although usually I'm happy that classes will be suspended because of this, I actually feel a little scared. Typhoons come and go here in the Philippines, and I kind of get used to them, but this "super typhoon" has gotten everyone shaken up. They're all preparing, making precautions, and even evacuating before the storm even starts. I'm really scared right now...

A little Sorrow: I think I'm too thin. I'm probably exaggerating but still...

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Thu Nov 07, 2013 10:51 am

Joy: Motivation sudden came to me.

BIG JOY: My teacher-practicum for a foreign country has been granted!

Now I'm going to Toronto in May of 2014!

It's my first time to visit America! I'm so excited!

Sorrow: Why does everyone think I'm depressed? I already said I'm fine.

JOY: Okay ages ago I saw a picture of a really great looking Moogle fursuit. Had all sorts of armour and awesome looking stuff. *Instant love* And I promised myself that if I ever went to any sort of cos-play convention then I would have to make that costume...The time has come. A couple of friends invited me to go cos-playing with them whenever they go to any conventions. So I looked around online and found the owner of the costume. I was hoping for some little bits of info and tips on what to do. No. I got the ENTIRE material list and method used to create it. Including ideas on what areas to improve upon. And I also got their full support in any questions I may have and all sorts of advice if I run into difficulty while making it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! *cries* THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

And just now I received some information from a friend about a job coming up relatively close to me. And since his dad is chatty with the owner I think I may be able to get a good head for being employed. And to make things even greater this could really help out with my degree and vice versa. I'm going to phone them up tomorrow and have a see what happens. They are just starting up so even if I get an interview I wont start for a while BUT just actually taking the step forward like this to getting a job is incredible!
EVEN MY TERRIBLE COURSEWORK ISN'T PUTTING MY SPIRITS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOO!!

Joy: After a horrible, horrible misstep, I will be going to an orientation meeting on Tuesday and should start my actual CNA-1 training by the end of this month. After that it is CNA-2 and Phlebotomy. THEN and only the will I even start thinking about RN training and all the things that I can test out of!!!

Joy: Had another awesome Skype call today.

Joy: I thought I lost my wallet last night but luckily I was able to retrace my steps and find it.
Sorrow: I'm a moron and need to get my life together
Joy: Might finish editing my movie today.

Sorrow: My game still hasn't come. Gotta check when I get home.

Annoyance: Seems like Google is forcing me to link my Google+ account (which I accidentally created and COULDN'T remove because it's linked to my Gmail account) to my Youtube account. Pretty cheap move to force me to use yet another social media account. I wanted to stay as anonymous on the net as possible, yet they want to use my real name as my screen name. Like what? Ugh. I rarely opened my Facebook and Twitter accounts as is.

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Fri Nov 08, 2013 6:53 pm

Sorrow: At my dad's. Sitting in a garage. Just for internet.

Create another YouTube channel linked to your GMail, then use that instead. That's what I did, and I found that when the Google+ for that page is created then the name is whatever the YouTube screen name is. It's a minor annoyance if the account you're using already has the name you want, but I'd say anonymity should come first.

Sorrow: I need people to talk to...

Ok, you know it's bad when Tom&Jerry are teaching you more than your classes.

I remember my Spanish exam was also graded on our accent.

????: I have this weird craving for steak right now.

Sorrow: I got a bit of a cold recently, always drowsy...
Joy: I get to eat some ramen today, not sure if it's a good substitute for chicken soup though... XD
It has some chicken... and soup, so it's still chicken soup right? ...right? *knocked out*

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 7:26 am

Well it's more of a broth really, it uses real meat.
And you know it's awesome.

GeckoZY · Post by **GeckoZY** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 7:28 am

Yes, ramen is awesome.

I had some baby octopus on the side too. XD

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 7:28 am

Seafood broth was my least favorite really.
... Don't judge me.

GeckoZY · Post by **GeckoZY** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 7:40 am

The octopus was for sides, appetizers, not soup. XD
But I shall agree that meat based soups taste better than seafood based ones.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 11:20 am

Might sound gross, but you can try and put your hands under their respective opposite armpits and clamp them there. It might help to warm them up a bit.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Nov 09, 2013 12:04 pm

Though the loss of heat in your armpit may be uncomfortable.

Joy: These solo run videos have nice custom BGM. Wish I knew what they were from though.
