Add on last entry

See? That only lasted 15 minutes (and a bath). 15 minutes after I posted the last entry, we have review submissions again e.e;; I just knew it.....

No matter what, I'm still going to be off and I won't start reviewing until the week of July 6. By that time I probably have 10 sites to do..... see how good my prediction is � �.

Now I go pack!

Going Away

All the hard working I've been doing to get everything done before I go away this long weekend have been finally done. LAR reviews are all done. You don't know how much reliefing it is. It is like all the pressure is lifted. The best thing is all the reviews and queues are cleared at the same time, not just website review. When was the last time that happened? � � Let's see how long that would last...

I've finally done translating the language file for xmb1.8 into Chinese. Apparently there is no official to download, so I decided to translate it myself. That way the Chinese grammar and vocabulary would be better too. It was so long and so hard. I think it has 880 lines to translate. @_@ A lot of the terms I don't even know how to say it in Chinese. My culture the language is very dynamic. We uses a lot of English word. Things like "backup", "pixel", "avatar", "posts", I have no clue how people call them in Chinese. Very often trying to just translate a single word instead of the whole sentence is even harder. The Chinese sentence structure just doesn't work that way. So when you try to plug a Chinese word into some numbers or some other words, it just doesn't make sense. And then I had to translates the name of all the towns and cities all over the world on their time zone into Chinese. @_@. Anyway, it is done now. When I come back, I'll look at a tiny problem and post a standard file on the official xmb forum.

Oh yeah, I'm going away. I'm going to the annual church summer retreat. I don't think I've actually told xq-sama ^^;; Very often I forgot to notify him things...I kinda just assume he knows. I'll be going to St. Catherine tomorrow after work, and come back on Monday evening. No internet until then. This is one of the very few chances that I actually have statutory holiday off. The are always on Monday, which I'm off anyway. So this is the first time I actually have a long weekend. It is good to be off. When I come back, I really should do some pharmacy online learning... I have been procracinating. e.e;;

Yup.... my harddrive was dying. I finished doing backup, and then it doesn't die anymore. I have no idea. Maybe it will die again later on. I hope it will start dying a bit again, so when I get a new upgraded replacement drive next week, they won't say there is nothing wrong with my harddrive! e.e;; Hey, I didn't lie, it failed to write on c: drive and e: drive and it won't boot the other day.

Now I must go pack. Experience tells me it usually takes me hours to pack and I still need to sleep tonight! Or, maybe I change my mind, I'll go wash my hair then pack....

� � @ the sexual thing....

Diana's blog remined me I need to talk about "blog". I like to read people's blogs mainly because I can get to know the person more. For whatever reason, I'm never a target when somebody wants someone to talk to. I don't know why, but I don't get to chit chat with people to know things about them except talking to them for "business". Seems like every time I talk to people is because I (or we) need to get things done, or I need to help somebody to get their things done. I'm such a technical/practical solution person that people will only talk to me if they need a solution for a problem. I have no idea why. I'm actually a very good and patient listener and I keep secrets very well. I'm also very loyal and generous too. But it has always seem to be like that. I have to admit I'm not very social, especially when I have deadlines to get my things done. Responsibility comes first. When I don't talk to my friends much, that doesn't mean I don't care about them. I still love them, very much. Since they don't tell me things directly, the only way for me to find out what is happening to them is to read their blogs X.x;; This sounds miserable, and I know people only blog what they want others to know, but it is better than not knowing anything about them at all. So guys (and girls) keep blogging! Either that, or tell me things directly!!

And about blogging myself... It is the same reason. A lot of my friends think I'm secretive and not so willing to tell them things. That's not true at all. I like to tell people about myself, but the question is whether people are actully interested to hear. I don't say things if people don't ask. I see no point of focusing my friends to hear me brag. I don't like to beg people to hear me talk. I only say things after I'm sure that people want to hear. If people are interested to know about me, they will ask. If they ask, I will tell them anything and I don't lie. There are things that I'd like to tell people but I'm not sure if they want to hear, or there are times I want them to know but I don't get to speak to them, or I just can't put myself together to tell them things directly, I'll just blog e.e;; Hopefully people will read my blog and know what I want to say. Hopefully the one whom I want to read this blog will actually read it x.x;; It sounds kinda pathetic, but well...that's how it goes. I just can't see myself grab a friend and go "me", "me", "me".

My harddrive is making that funny noise again � � The last time it did that, it was dying and I needed to get a replacement. Stupid Quantum Fireball... I should go do a backup of my files e.e;;

Wedding

A very brief blog before I crash on my bed. @_@;; I haven't slept since 8am Saturday, and I'm starting to lose track of days...e.e;; I didn't have enough sleep Friday night in the first place, and I helped out making flower decorations at my good friend's house Saturday night..... It is her wedding today. I stated up late last night and didn't get home till about 2am... then I prepared my stuff for the wedding. By the time I got to bed, it was already 3:30pm and I had to be back to her house by 8:30am, which is a 30mins drive.... With the anxiety and worries and trying to make sure I rememeber to do everything in the morning and would wake up at the right time, I couldn't actually get any sleep. I was lying in bed but my brain didn't stop working. It was an awful night without sleep and actually aware of it. It was like I closed my eyes for 15 minutes and then completely awake again. So when the alarm clock went off, I was like I never slept. I was so exhausted and was like a zombie, but I had to get up and get things ready and go. I was so dizzy and could hardly get on my feet x.x;; But it is not a matter of whether my body wanted to get up or not, it was no choice. I had to be there at 8:30am, after driving highway for 30 mintues, and after first gasing up my car. I'm surprise I actually managed to function the whole day. I actually function well enough to drive back and forth on highway the whole day and drive to downtown Toronto. I don't like the drive to downtown. But there was a bit of problem with car arrangement so I either let a girl (who is willing to drive but her car has a problem) to drive my other good friend's car (who would absolutely refuse to drive on highway or to downtown, and have bad sense of direction) to take us 3 down or me driving my own car to take us 3 down. I would rather drive myself, so I did. I don't have much faith siting in people's car, especially when I don't know the person. Young female drivers make me worry. I'm confident that I can be a better and safer driver.

The wedding itself was pretty good. Oh, btw, I'm in the wedding, if you haven't noticed (why else would I have to be there so early in the morning?). It is more fun than other weddings that I had been in. Friends' weddings are different from family members' weddings. They are definitely more interesting.

Thank goodness I don't have to work or go anywhere tomorrow. I'm going to bed and I'll care about other things tomorrow. x.x;;

Money Survey

Survey taken from Cinco, a friend's site.

Topic: Money

1. Where does your money come from? (eg. job, allowance, etc.) Hard working, of course � �. Money doesn't come down from the sky.

2. Describe the banknote of your currency that looks the coolest. (eg. $20, $50, $1) I don't remember what the $500 bill looks like... Our banknotes come in $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $500. I heard they don't make $1000 anymore. For those who don't know, Canada's $1 and $2 are in coins. Currently $5 and $10 are the new bills with new styles, the rest are still in the old style. I would say I like $50 bill the most because of its colour. It is red. When the bill is new, the bright red colour looks the most attractive. For Hong Kong banknote, I like $100 bill the most as well, it is also red. Banknotes get really dull and dirty when they get old, especially when they are not in red o.o;;

3. What is the first thing you do when you get money? What is the first thing I do? There is no first thing. It goes directly to my bank account from payroll. I don't have to do anything, and how I spend money doesn't depend on when I get money. It would be a very miserable life if I have to wait till I get my pay cheque to paid my bills, buy grocery, gas up my car, feed my dog (no, I don't have a dog but you know what I mean), buy clothes for my kids (don't have kids either), pay rent so I don't have to live on the street, etc...etc.... I'm not interested in having such miserable life. Financial planning! Saving! You gotta learn them, man.....

4. Are you saving up for anything special? If so, what is it?
Not saving up for anything special at the moment. Saving should be done all the time, not just when you want to buy something. Who needs to save up to buy something when you already have the money in your bank from regular saving habbit?? Save for rainy days. Save for when you cannot predicted. Who said you are always going to be healthy? Who said you will always have your job? Who said your present condition will last forever?

5. Do you ever think about money when it comes to gifts? Yes I do. I budget. I manage my money well and I keep budgets all the time. Although I can be generous in gifts, I do have budgets. I just keep a relatively higher budget for gifts.

Miscellenous

Ummm.....long time no blog. Lemme see what I've done o.o;; Ah, reviewing. Reviewing is good. Somebody was getting impatience about the delay in reviewing. Poor Rushita has always tried to work hard reviewing and sometimes something interfering with the reviewing sechedule is unavoidable. Reviewing is already the top priority on my to-do-list (since years ago x.x;;) after work, what more do you expect me to do? It would be nice if the person whining about the delay actually spend all that waiting time to upgrade the site so I actually have some content to review on. @_@;; Anyways, reviewing is going on. I need to finish them all before my summer retreat at the end of the month. Reviewing and work are the last things I want to think of during my retreat!

Because of reviewing...I upgraded my browser. It is now NS7.02, with the new feature that I can select pop-ups or no pop-ups and which pop-ups. Cool. I thought upgrading would fix a known "problem" but it didn't. Well, it is because the "problem" wasn't a problem to start off with. I learned a new lecture about html. "Alt=" text does not show up in NS7 (or other newer browsers as a matter or fact, except IE). By the HTML 4.01 standard, it is not supposed to show up when the image works. It would only show up as an alternative when the image doesn't show up. We webmasters have long used to use the "Alt=" attribute for texttips, which is not the real purpose for "Alt=". For texttips, the attribute is really supposed to be "title=", which would show up on NS7. Apparently nobody knows about this attribute. I hope somebody will push this text and get people to know how to do it right.

I've got a LCD monitor as my friend's wedding gift. I hate to give useless things to people so I perfer when people say what they like. Wedding gift is hard to buy especially when they don't have bridal registry and they are your close friend (so the $$$ amount is too significant to be wasted). She said she wants LCD monitor. Fine. I'm more familar buying computer stuff than fine china anyway... Although LCD monitors are not what I would consider to buy myself at the moment, they are not too expensive actually. After watching a basic intro about monitors, I decided to buy the most expensive one for an 17" and of course the best quality one. Sony the brand and the numbers in the features convinced me it would be a very good product. As long as it worths the money...

I need to get ready for her wedding too. I'm not buying new clothes. Too much of a waste to buy a set of clothes to be worn once. I'm going to wear the one I used for a previous wedding once. I should try on my clothes tomorrow..... I hope the whether would be nice and hot, 'cause the material is very thin. o.o

A Story and the Analysis

I'm reposting the story I wrote the other night about MoonWings, then I'll write a little analysis of it. I don't know why, the storyline just hit me.

Fly Me To the Moon

"Jo, this way!", Father points to the exhibition room for historical items. Jovine follows his father unwillingly. Jovine hates museum trips. He can't understand why in the 30th century people still want to go to museum. There are better things to do at home, like chatting with his friends, listening to music and connecting to the national info base network, all at the same time with his multi-purpose desk. "Is there anything I can't see from the net?", Jovine mutters.

"These are the pioneers of MoonWings", an old museum tour guide points to a series of old-fashioned photos on the wall. Some of them are hard copy photograph prints of the retired technology of the past and some are in electronic formats. Apparently the image quality at that time was not as good as it is right now. "This is the first tea shop in MoonWings, ran by the Black Tea Group. Thanks to the Black Tea Group for their refined taste, we now have the high quality tea, chocolate and cookies we have today.", the old man introduces.

"Who are these people?", Jo points to a picture of people wearing funny wolf-like hats. "Are they from the Silent Coyote Tribe?", Jo asks. "Nope, this one is the Silent Coyote Tribe", the old man points to another picture, "The other one is the Red Light Den, used to called themselves 'foxes'. You can see over here they were getting their butts kicked by the Black Tea Group in the war for monopolizing the 'wrong' product. Black Tea Group had the patent for all the tea, chocolate and bars afterall." "This must be the wealthy elitist mercenaries clan, the Eden Company", Jo's father adds.

Jo follows his father and the old man as they go pass the picture of the soldiers, ninjas and shadow riders. The end of the hallway leads to a large open area, the centre of the museum under the round dome. A bright object in the middle emits a holy light that shines through all the hallways that lead to the centre area. A large oil painting of the moon is hung on the wall behinds the bright object. Jo runs closer to the bright object to see what it really is. It is so bright that nobody can really take a good look of the object without closing their eyes to avoid the strong lights. Jo can only vaguely see a feathered wings-like object surrounding with something like aurora, the northern light. "Stand back, son, the bright light can damage your eyes", the old man warns him. "Now this is something you can't see on the net, Jo", Jo's father says, "Even the latest 30th century technology cannot capture the full glory of the Wings."

"The 'Wings'?", Jo awes in amazement. "Yes, this is THE 'Wings' of MoonWings", the old man explains, "the wings from the moon." "You mean the name of our city came from this pair of magical Wings?", Jo is never so interested in history or the museum before. "Yes", the old man smiles, "let me tell you the story about the Wings."

"A long long time ago, in the village of darkness, there lived a girl. She was different from everyone in the village. She had the wisdom and discernment to tell between right and wrong. Everyone in the village treated her badly and made her do all the hard works without reward and appreciation. Afterall, that was how people in the village of darkness treated one another. Thought she was mistreated, she bore the suffering because she was kind enough to go help those who might use a little help. Her dream was to leave the village to go elsewhere to start a new life, but the village gate was heavily guarded by the village solders. Unless anyone would risk their lives to fight with the solders and win or bride them with an incredible amount of money, the villagers were hopeless. Many died either from the unfair society or from trying to escape.

The girl would look up into the sky every night in attempt to seek a little bit of peacefulness for her heart, through her only window of the house. One night when she was looking at the moon, she saw a firefly coming down to her. She caught the firefly and looked at it. To her surprise, it was not a firefly. It was a moon fairy, an injured one. The moon fairy told her that she wandered to the village of darkness by mistake. The village people were so mean and tried to kill her like killing a housefly. The girl kindly washed and dressed the moon fairy's wound. She pulled out her sewing tools and start fixing the fairy's dress. The villagers were so brutal that even the fairy's dress was torn. She hid the fairy in a teacup as she went out to work the next day. At late night, when all the villagers were asleep, she let the rested fairy out so she could go home. 'Thank you very much, I'll remember you', said the moon fairy.

Days had passed and the girl went on her usual routine. One late night when she was lying in bed thinking about her life and her future, the same moon fairy came back to visit her. The fairy had to wait till everyone in the village was asleep before going back to the village. They chatted all night. The girl told the fairy about her life in the village and her dream about her future, and the fairy told the girl what it was like on the moon.

From then on, the fairy visited her new friend at night frequently. Sometimes a few others fairies would accompany her when they needed help fixing their dresses. The girl had the most skillful hands all over the lands and the moon fairies loved her work. The girl was very happy and willing to help the fairies because they kept her company and gave her hope about the future. So, in the village of darkness, there was this girl who stayed up at night working hard when nobody in the village knew what she was doing.

The girl really loved to talk to the moon fairies. The more they told her about the moon and their happy lives there, the more she admired them. She started to dream about going to the moon and what a happy life it would be. She wished she could fly to the moon. To make the happy dream life even better, she decided to improve herself. She started to expand her knowledge and wisdom with studies and self-learning different skills. With her hard work, very soon the girl became a very talented person. The villagers, on the other hand, did not understand her. They thought what she did were foolish and teased her about her unpractical dream. However, the girl was not discouraged. There was really no need to show the villagers her wisdom. They would not comprehend with their narrow-minds.

The moon fairies also knew about the girl's dream. They wanted to help her too. One night when the moon fairy visited her, she brought the girl a gift. It was a pair of Moon Wings, made by the moon fairies. The Wings were made of magical feathers that emitted a very bright light, so bright that the fairy had to wrap them up in a piece of cloth. 'This is to show our gratitude to you for all your help and kindness. With the Wings, you can fly to the moon or anywhere you like', said the moon fairy. The girl was very excited. The dream she had dreamed so long will finally come true. 'Prepare yourself and I'll be back tomorrow', said the fairy. The girl was up the whole night, thinking of herself, the moon, her past and her future.

The moon fairy came the next night to take her to the moon. It was full moon, a perfect night to start a better future. The girl flipped the Moon Wings on her back and left the village of darkness. When they were up in the sky, the girl told the moon fairy that she was not going to the moon. She had realized what she really wanted was not the moon. She wanted a new life and a new village, and she now had all the knowledge and skills to be what she wanted to be. The moon fairy nodded and understood. They both knew that moon was not the best place for human. So they parted and the girl went to a new village where she built a new friendly and loving community called "MoonWings"."

"This is a very old legend about the origin of our city. Nobody knows if it is indeed true or if such girl existed.", says the old man, "Archeologists found the Wings wrapped in a piece of cloth carefully placed in a wooden box marked 'Moon Wings' in an early settlement site. The Wings are dated back to about 1000 years ago." Jo is still staring at the moon oil painting in awe, trying not to look directly at the Wings, as he listens to the old man.

As Jovine and his father leave the museum, Jo said, "Wow, it is amazing. I wish I could met that girl."


Story Analysis

It was done purposely to not mention anybody's name, though I think it would be funny to mention the clans' names. It is pretty much the only thing to make the story connect to the current status in MW. I wanted the story to be many many years in the future so I won't have to deal with current real MW members. Using somebody's character inappropriately and offensing people with situations that they don't like is the last thing I want. I'm too lazy to make that right and please the characters that I use in the story. 30th century sounds good. It reminds me of Crystal Tokyo.

Jovine is the only person that has name in the story. "Jovine" sounds close enough to be the kind of name people would use in MW. I looked that up in an online Japanese dictionary. It's not a Japanese name though, it is in katakana. He is a typical kid who likes to have fun and play. I was just telling my parents last week that going to the museum was so boring. At least I find the Royal Ontario Museum over here is very boring and dark and groomy. About Jovine's multi-purpose desk, it is a flat desk with a pressure sensitive control panel (acts as the keyboard and other stuff). Depends on what he wants to do, he just has to touch the control panel and the screen will flip over. He can just chat with the other person like video conferencing. That is how he has his school and he does everything there. The desk top itself gives 3D holograpic images, btw.

The girl in the story is an imaginary person. You are free to interpret that yourself. What she experiences is how I perceive her life and her struggles. The village of darkness is not dark. What is dark is people's heart. It is like a melting pot of what I don't like in the society and humanity. People take advantage of each other. It is a sinful society and the people in there enjoy the pleasure from their sin. It is a place without love. How did people get there? They are there. There were born there. They are rasied and turn out to be just like everyone there. All except this girl. The soldiers guarding the gates are not real. Those are not physical soldiers, those are the soldiers in people's heart. There is no solder stopping people to get out of the village. What stopped people from getting out is ther own heart. They like their lifestyles so much. They like the pleasure from sins so much that they are not willing to leave. And they lied to the girl. They told her there were strong soldiers guarding the gate so she wouldn't want to go out. She was not strong enough to go out on her own anyway. She didn't have the knowledge yet, at the beginning. People died because of the unfairness of the society, and those who tried to escape died because they didn't have strong enough mind and determination to go all the way through towards their dream. They hesitated and changed mind and died from their own consequences.

The moon symbolizes hope and dream. It is a goal far away that the girl set for herself. There is only one window. There is only one way to get out of darkness, and that is the only one thing to be focused on. The moon fairy symbolizes opportunity. It is a reminder that you cannot live in darkness forever. And now that the girl has her goal, she needs to take actions to self-improve and work on how to get towards her goal. Just sitting there looking at the dream everynight won't help. We need to take actions. Although the moon itself wasn't what she really wanted at the end, it helped her to take action and to think want she really wanted. Our goals change all the time as we grow mentally. Sometimes we need to start taking actions and get closer to find out what we really want.

What were displayed in the museum were "determination" and "hardwork". They were what really shrined throught the museum and people's eyes. They were the undying light and what take you to your goal....be it the moon or another village.

The moral of the story? Well, although this is my analysis of the story, it is still up to the readers to interpret it. There is still a large part of the true meaning of the story and the purpose of the story I have not revealed. If I have to put a "moral of the story", I will make it as: "Work hard towards your goal. Your effort will be rewarded."

Jo said, "Wow, it is amazing. I wish I could met that girl."
Yes, I want to see that girl reaching her goal too. :)

Random Update

I was mangling with html again the other day. It was Drac's Eden Directory new design (done by Sin). Please don't think I'm a horrible host that I request my hostee's webpage be able to function on NS4. I'm not trying to make my hostee's life more difficult. To prove that point, I'm willing to fix the html for free, anytime, as long as it will work on NS4. That's what I was doing the other night, making the "div overthrow scrolling" thingy works in NS4 using a javascript. I still strongly believe it is possible to make a webpage functions in NS4. Really, it doesn't have to look good on NS4, as long as it functions. I wasn't asking too much. Although I've spent hours looking into the codes, I think my time is worth spent. I learn seomthing new every time and it proves that it is possible to make it work on NS4. You just have to know how. Seriously, I think a good webmaster should know all the in-and-out and tricks and how to work around problems. We should at least know 3 different ways to create any type of effect. So yeah, just as usual, the page looks no different on IE before and after I fixed, but now it also works on NS4. :p

I'm back playing Saga Frontier II. This is the game I left half-way finished a year ago. This RPG is different. It is lack of a continuous storyline and a continuous set of character team. You don't even have a single hero and his best team for you to emotionally attach to throughout the game X.x;; It just follows events chronologically and you never know what characters will be in your team at each events. Even your main character would die....then another one died again..... Just when you trained your favourite team to increase their stats, the next event you get a whole new playable characters again. I'm not really in a mood to train the characters this way and I'm not really following the storyline either @_@;; That was why I got bored a year ago and left my playstation dashed away in a box. Now that I'm playing it, I've acheived quite a bit of progress, but I'm stuck in the stupid war game, which the computer is totally unfair. Until I manage to beat the enermy troops, the game will be stalled again, for God knows how long...

I had some interesting idea last night and I wrote a MW story on the forum. Since it was a very symbolic story, I was going to write an analysis on this blog. But because I stayed up very late writing the story last night.....or this morning... I'm now dead tired. Staying up late using my brain always burn out my stomach. And the next day my stomach always get upset. If I do this often, I think I'll lose a few pounds @_@;; I can lose weight by just heavily using my brain. I did lost 3 pounds studing for Anatomy exam for 3 days before the exame X.x;;

I guess I'll write the analysis tomorrow when I'm more awake

An Overdue Vacation Report

I know it has be quite a while since I last blog... I'm just too lazy to write. First, vacation report. Well, I'm too lazy to write it too, so refer to xq's. He did a good job. I'm never that interested to write about my holiday. It is too much to cover. However, here is the interesting points:

- Rushita sang and danced on the Red and White Show at Anime North (Karaoke Idol contest). I didn't sing well (music too loud, couldn't hear my own voice on the stage), but it was fun. When I got on the stage, the stage was so bright but the audience was so dark. I went, "Cool, I can't see them so I don't have to care about the audience.". From my experience of performing Chinese dance on the stage, seeing the audience looking at you is very scary. During the interlude of the song I decided to dance (not Chinese dance!) because it would be boring just standing on the stage, and hey, the audience liked it, so I went a little wild like what I do at home. I kinda knew I had to do that ahead of time because they had to mark on stage performance. Well, it was fun, so I would do it again next year. I wasn't too happy that somebody "stole" my "Scarlet" song, but it wasn't a big deal. It was still fun with "Toki no ai wa".

- I took a picture with Mr. Midorikawa Hikaru, the voice actor of Tamahome!! Yay!! I got 2 autographies from him too ^^. He was a very nice and friendly guy. He walked around at the con by himself some of the time and I was really surprised he wasn't swamp by fans.

- I bought the manga "Clover" at the con. I was reading it yesterday. It was a little different and not straight forward, but it was good. I love clover in the first place, and yes, I had spent time looking for 4-leaf clover before. No, I didn't find one. I like Sue, she is a lovely girl in the manga. I like the wings. You'll probably see a "Clover" layout/wallpaper on the site later on when I have time to work on the computer ^^.

- The rest of the vacation aren't very nice..... it rained too much.... it was sunny on the days when we had serious things to do indoor (like con, interview, get the car fix, etc...) and it was raining and raining when I wanted to go out. @_@;; Either that or when it was finally sunny, my back was killing me can I had no mood to walk. My back always hurt when I go on vacation, even for a few hours of shopping. It doesn't hurt as much when I have to walk and stand for a whole day at work. It is a conspiracy @_@;; I'm starting to realize my leisure shopping walking posture was not good...... I somehow don't keep my head and body "up" and back straight when I'm in a passive leisure mood...... Nevertheless, one of the most enjoyable moments was xq driving us up north aimlessly away from the city on a sunny afternoon to see the farms, the horses, cows and sheeps! Sheeps! Come to think of it, the only time I ever see sheeps are either on TV, in the zoo, or in christian drawings e.e;; I saw fat and fluffy sheeps! A "flock" of them (well....."flock" is for chicken....but whatever the word is for sheeps.....). We almost went to Lake Simoe ^^. If it wasn't getting late and I had to pick up my car, I really didn't want to go back yet.

Now that I started to talk about my vacation..... I forgot what else I was supposed to write o.o;; Ummm...... oh yeah, the credit card. I have to call the visa card again to lower my credit limit. I did that a few years ago because I use that card particularly for internet and I want to make sure it is safe online. Over the years, so some reason they automatically increased my credit limit again, a little bit every few months! @_@;; It is annoying when they do that to this card while my other card I need to keep applying to get my limit up for other uses.....� �

I'm finally doing an account upgrade for my domain. I don't really need more space or bandwidth anything soon, but their Giga-Sale is just irresisitable XD. For a one time fee of $29.99, I get lots and lots of space and bandwidth.... I think I have $29.99 to spare and make it once and for all. Then I might actually have space maybe to host more things for other people if not having another hostee (who would actually qualify my very strict and odd hosting rules)..... Umm.....yeah, Rushita likes to give people freebies XD.
