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: 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...

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!!

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.

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.

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

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

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.
