Darkschunt 
Monday, June 28, 2004
Welcome to Darkschunt once again. Yes, I know it's been a long time since we were last open. I am so sorry. I've been away on business trips. But how many I help you? It's been such a long time since I've seen you. How have things been with you?
Burning: Red Dragon Candle, Dusk Mulberry Candle
Shop Music: Mantra of Avalokiteshvara
Weather Outside: Gray, cloudy, windy dusk.
It's really been so long, Lupa. How goes the worlds with you? Spreading your influence everywhere like usual, I see. Well, take a rest sometime. And how is Oizys? Still accompanying you on your travels?
Well, enough chit-chat. How can I help you?
Ah, you're having a dinner party tonight? Why, how nice. Who's on the guest list? Anyone I know? Oh yes, Hades, that rouge, I haven't seen him in quite a while. Momos and Moros, your brothers? Ah, Eris, yes, and Apate and Lyssa. A regular family gathering, I see. And what about Nyx? Won't she be joining you all? I see, well perhaps another time. Well, what would you like? How about a new set of dishes, created specially by Ananke? They won't last long, as none of Ananke's beautiful decorations do, so you can guess how valuable they are. Hades has had his eye upon them for a long time, but I can always sell them to you first. No? Well...Oh, I see. You want a recipe to impress! Hmmm. A recipe...one that would suit your honorable dinner guests. Let's see, let me check the recipe books which I have on stock. Ah, this is a good recipe for a dinner party. Without a doubt, it would impress your guests. What do you think?
You like it? That's good. Well, the price for that will be a hundred and eleven gold pieces. Oh, that's already a discount. Thank you so much. Here is your change, nine silver pieces. Would you like me to bind that in leather for you? Yes, we have human leather, this one is particuarly ancient, I think it was left from one of Ares's battles. Haha, yes, I know, every battle is his.
Oh, this will be free. After all, a special recipe for such a special dinner party deserves a nice wrapping.
You know what, Lupa? I knew you were planning to come by today. Look here, see my finger? I cut it today. You wouldn't believe the blood that came gushing out. After that, I figured you or Oizys might drop by. Oh, don't worry about me, it's all right.
Well, here you go. Enjoy your dinner party tonight. Thank you and come again some time.

The Story of Today
So if the other day was a good day, then what makes today?
First of all, I lost something in my room, and it's incredibly tiny which will make it all the more harder to find.
Then as i was going out to do laundry, i brushed against the incredibly rough wall outside my flat (what is it with the walls here? they're incredibly dangerous) and my finger hurt so bad i had to put down my laundry basket and take a look at it and it was bleeding sooo bad that i nearly fainted. I have never seen so much blood pouring out of me in this life, all scarlet and ripe and pouring profusely out of just one finger cut! That was a really good gash. It's a good thing Marcus isn't around otherwise the sight of all that blood would have probably made him forget that we were friends. Ran back into my flat and poured water all over the cut but it just wouldn't stop bleeding. I have a zillion tissues dyed with blood now. At last I got a plaster off my flatmate, ran some cold water over the gash and slapped the plaster on before it could start bleeding again but you could still see scarlet thickness oozing out under the plaster. Started getting nightmares about my finger being infected and my whole arm getting gangrene or something so i ran down to the pharmacy where this super nice woman helped me pick out disinfection (i have never EVER had a need for disinfection or plasters in my life!!!) and some really cool steri-strips which are like kinda transparent-ish and just 3mmx75mm in size, really thin. When I opened the pack, i was like "huh, how do i go about putting this over my gash?" So i just kinda wound it diagonally over my finger in order to cover the gash. But all that blood was just so cool...
That's not it. As I was walking back from the pharmacy, I suddenly realize that I forgot my keys AGAIN and had to go all the way down to the office to borrow the extra keys. Aaargh - I hate it when that happens!!!
Then anyway I finally got my laundry done and was ready to put everything in the dryer when i discovered that all the dryers were being used! Well, one of them had stopped tumbling and the clothes were just sitting there waiting to be taken away. I felt like dumping everything out on one of the washing machines and using that dryer, like some people do in the laundry room, but I felt that would be kinda bad for whoever who owns the dryer so I just sat in the laundry room and waited and waited and waited and kept reconsidering if I should just dump his clothes out or not. Finally, just as i was about to give up and head back to my flat when the door opens and this guy comes in and, hooray, those were his clothes! and as he was taking them out, he hit his head on the dryer door and it looks like it really hurt. Poor thing...but I couldn't help thinking, "hah, retribution!"
And as I made my way back out the laundry room door, I discovered it was drizzling outside so I had to wrap my un-tumble-dry-able clothes under my jacket and race back to my flat while hoping that the rain doesn't touch my newly washed clothes or my poor finger.
Anyway, I have made it back safe and sound and with any further mishaps.*whew*
With all that's been happening, I didn't even get to go running today, but that's a probably a good thing. I might have gotten hit by a car or something.
But you know what? In spite of weighing everything that's happening today and coming to the conclusion that all these events probably make today a bad day, it still doesn't feel like a bad day today. I'm still too happy to count today as a bad day. It was just...a day with, erm, a lot of events.
Hmmm, the antiseptic that i bought says it should be stored below 25 degrees. Well, my room's pretty cold with that stupid draft that I still can't figure out is coming from where. But I'm guessing it wouldn't be a good idea to store it here what with all my candles and stuff. The fridge? That's kind of disgusting if you consider the fact that I'm sharing the fridge with six other people, well, four, now that the americans have split. Who wants antiseptic next to their fresh vegetables?
Yesterday I went to this competition at the Budokan Academy and we watched the kata kendo and kendo competitions, which were pretty cool. One of us, Nathan, took part and won, which was cool because it was like his first competition and he was up against a more qualified guy! Everything was just like so "wow". I noticed that while in class, most of the people at Curtin who joined kendo were girls while here it was like an all-guy thing except this one girl. And it was a little freaky because everyone seems pretty strong and fast at the same time. Hmmm, wonder if I'll ever be as good as any of them?
It's that whole Mount Del`A`Kurk thing again...maybe, someday I'll reach the top? Or even just the plateau?

Burning: Red Dragon Candle and Dusk Mulberry Candle
Shop Music: Milla Jovovich "Breathing In Your Sleep"
Sky Lantern: Moon has reached first quarter, which means it's a perfect half moon tonight.
Today was an amazing, beautiful, good day. Ever had one of those days where good things just kept happening to you? This was my good day. :)
I've been eating salmon and strawberries. Sounds healthy, but when you count in the fact that I've also been stuffing my face with sour cream and onion potato chips...
Let's face it. This has been a good week. *Kisses God on the face* "Thank you."

Since i am in no mood to sleep and i think that drinking too much cranberry juice has turned me into an even more vicious bitch than usual, i shall now proceed to give my thoughts on COWS.
Cows are good. Cows are useful. Cows are sweet. As long as they don't eat up the cinema in your town.
Do you know just how interesting cows are? More interesting than you, trust me.
Cows are so useful. They give us milk, lots of milk, with calsium that prevents us from getting OSTEOPOROSIS. and milk gives us BUTTER and CREAM and CHOCOLATES, which prevents a lot of girls (and bitchy guys and even bitchier gay guys)from suffering during PMS and MENOPAUSE. (Oh, don't even get me started on guys with PMS, trust me, some guys - and a ton of gay guys for that matter - are sooo bitchy, you'd think they were menopausing twenty four seven).
And they (cows, not guys or gay guys) give us meat, LOTS of MEAT, and lots of GOOD STEAK. And cows are so useful for butchering in sacrifices. Look at all that blood! And you can just randomly stab your sacrificial knife all over the place without looking - trust me, with a target that big on the altar, you won't miss it!
And for all those horny sluts who can't get enuff sheep and horses, you can try screwing a cow instead! look! it's so big! look at all the tits! They're better than Pamela Anderson!
Cows are also FUN. When you go on long car trips and being stuck for five hours in a cramped little car with ur annoying bitchy family n frens what else can divert u from turning homicidal but COWS on the roadside? "wow, look a brown cow! now a black one! look, fat cows! anorexic cows!" and look at all the fun cows give us when we tip them over on one side!
No wonder the hindhus and buddhists worship cows.
And cows don't care if they're fat! they've got a positive body image! the fatter, the better! look at all those tits! whooaa!
And cows are so famous n popular. just look at Cow n Chicken, the Cow that Jumped over the Moon, and Justine Timberlake.
Cows also provide us with many FUN activities, like Jumping Over Cows, Milking Cows, and Hitting Bull's Eyes on Cows. And don't forget that cows give us LEATHER and nice fur rugs.
And remember, you're much more likely to get attacked by a cow than a shark. At least that's what libra tampon companies want you to believe.
Also:
Cows are VEGETARIANS. They're PEACEFUL. They don't Kill. And cows are yellow, black, brown, and white, so they're even MULTI-RACIAL. Which means they'll get along well with troubled people like EMINEM or MICHAEL JACKSON. And don't you just FEEL that cows emanate such a sense of GREAT PEACE? Look at their big brown COW EYES and don't tell me you don't feel like slipping into a coma.
And when cows poop all over big green fields, their dung turns the land green and lush, which gives us a GREAT BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT, plus their dung also gives us pretty little yellow flowers (those cowdung watchamacallit flowers thatlook like daisies). Now, what animal poop gives us flowers? Even humans can't do that.
This is just one of the few reasons why cows are just so fucking UNBELIEVABLE. They're much more interesting than skinny whores like gwyneth palthrow (sorry, kelvin.)
So get with the program! cows are beautiful, desirable, wonderful creatures! everyone should love cows! So long as they don't eat up the cinema in the dead town you are currently living in! Go cows! Go adopt a cow! Go to your local RSPCA and tell them you want one right now! Quickly, before a cow bangs you!

The Arrival.
Burning: Red Dragon Candle, Dusk Mulberry Candle
Shop Music: Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah
Thinking about: Standing on the beach at night, under the moon, feeling the warm waves crash on the shore and wash over my feet.
The first episode of the OC was screened on TV tonight. That's one cool show with a major soundtrack. Seeing the warm beaches makes me wistful here in this cold winter.
Ah, well. Winter is always cold and lonely. And life is always lonely, whether you're surrounded by so many people or just alone.
I was right when I thought someone was coming. Only it wasn't who I expected it to be. We got a new girl moving into the flat today. She's from Shanghai, China. She's all right but I'm not sure if she's the friendly type. Oh, well, I shouldn't be judging so soon.
Still, I keep having this feeling that someone else is coming...

Winter/Summer Solstice tonight!!!
Shop Music: Josh Groban's Closer Album.
Burning: Red Dragon Candle, Dusk Mulberry Candle
Sky Lantern: The moon is currently a waxing crescent, it will reach first quarter (and become half a moon) on June 26th.
It will be the Winter Solstice tonight (summer solstice for those who live in the northern hemisphere). Tonight will be the longest night of the year here and fairies will be coming out tonight to celebrate all over the world. Tonight is also the night when you can see the Milky Way directly overhead the sky at midnight. Stay in and watch from your window unless you want to be spirited away by the faeries. ;)
Didn't get my ass kicked on Saturday after all. Slightly disappointing.
Someone is coming soon. I can feel it.

Margaret Cho Rules!
i've just been watching margaret cho's stand-up comedy show and it's sooo funny! and so sweet! hahaha - i just love her stories about her mother! if i ever need a psychiatrist she would be my first choice. Her show, I'm the One I Want, just makes me laugh so hard.
Ass Kicker
I should go to bed now because i have to get up early for kendo tomorrow but i don't really feel like going. I feel like staying in bed and sleeping! I didn't engage in any kind of activity this whole week except for walking down to the stores to buy food. I'm having a lazy week. And last week some guy send me flying on my back and for some reason i got really exhausted and, trust me, that is not an experience i enjoy repeating. The flying on my back thing wasn't so fun, it was actually kind of cool, but for some reason i got so exhausted at the end of practice and hot and it was way so suffocating under the men (the face mask) and it just got me depressed, like, "am i that weak that i collaspe so easily? am i like the worst in class? i think i am..." and i'm like urrrrgh. Plus I bit the inside of my mouth and am now in total constant pain. I have this plate of salt that i medicate myself with every night and day and it hurts so bad when i do it that tears actually come to my eyes. But it looks cool when i do it in front of the mirror in the hallway - my eyes get all bloodshot and i look way pale under the hallway light that if any of my flatmates come out and see me with all that white salt they'll think, "God, there she is putting cocaine on her gums again" lol. So all that couple with the fact that I've probably lost all my stamina after this week of partying...well...i'm not up to much activity this weekend. But I absolutely will not not go tomorrow. Not after i ended up on the floor! No one's going to get the chance to think, "oh, she's not here today, she probably couldn't take it after last week". oh, no! i am so going tomorrow even if it means i'll get my ass wiped!
So i will drag myself out of the bed and struggle through the cold, cold wind and go get my ass kicked.
Haha, it's not as bad as it sounds, actually. I mean, I actually enjoy it. It has to be enjoyable to get me out of bed at an inhumane 8:30 every SATURDAY morning. I enjoy getting my ass kicked! And maybe one day...I will kick ass back.
Let's Go Shopping In the Underground.
I love underground shops. Any place where u go through an unobtrusive door, down the stairs and enter some totally cool place. My friend took me to some underground shop called Empire Toys that sells all those cool toys and comics and stuff where star wars fans and buffy fans and all those science fiction geek guys go to and i discovered a whole rack full of manga and, best of all, ayashi no ceres!!!!!!! i've been waiting a long time to get my hands on those! there goes my money!!! Ayashi no Ceres is just so funny and sweet and sad and beautiful. I love Aya's personality, and she gets to be surrounded by three hot guys ;)Yu Watase so rules.
Everything But My Liver.
There's this advertisement on TV where a couple is on a date and the guy flags down a cab and they get in and tell the cab driver where to go and he's like "good night out, eh? Oh by the way, if anything happens, I'm an organ donor." and the couple looks at each other and puts on their seatbelts. Anyway, it's an ad about how most organ donors don't tell their families they're organ donors so when they pop nobody donates their organs. And I was like thinking, hmmm, yeah I should go tell people I want to be an organ donor too. And if something happens I'll do good in the world by donating my organs. Of course they probably wouldn't want my liver, not in the condition it's probably in by now. Haha, i wonder if any organ donor's organs got rejected because they were just way too gone to be used.

I love underground shops. Any place where u go through an unobtrusive door, down the stairs and enter some totally cool place. My friend took me to some underground shop called Empire Toys that sells all those cool toys and comics and stuff where star wars fans and buffy fans and all those science fiction geek guys go to and i discovered a whole rack full of manga and, best of all, ayashi no ceres!!!!!!! i've been waiting a long time to get my hands on those! there goes my money!!! Ayashi no Ceres is just so funny and sweet and sad and beautiful. I love Aya's personality, and she gets to be surrounded by three hot guys ;)Yu Watase so rules.
Everything But My Liver.
There's this advertisement on TV where a couple is on a date and the guy flags down a cab and they get in and tell the cab driver where to go and he's like "good night out, eh? Oh by the way, if anything happens, I'm an organ donor." and the couple looks at each other and puts on their seatbelts. Anyway, it's an ad about how most organ donors don't tell their families they're organ donors so when they pop nobody donates their organs. And I was like thinking, hmmm, yeah I should go tell people I want to be an organ donor too. And if something happens I'll do good in the world by donating my organs. Of course they probably wouldn't want my liver, not in the condition it's probably in by now. Haha, i wonder if any organ donor's organs got rejected because they were just way too gone to be used.

I've just been reading the White Paper issued by the Chinese government on May 23 2004 and, you know, it just makes me so furious.
For a while I thought it really was getting better. I thought maybe Tibet might really have a chance to get its freedom back from China and then you read in the newspapers about the threats they make against Taiwan and then something like the White Paper comes out.
FYI, the White Paper, according to the Students for A Free Tibet, outlines China's "policies on Tibetan regional ethnic autonomy and attacked the Dalai Lama's vision of autonomy for Tibet".
I've been reading it just now and it just doesn't make sense! Where's the evidence to back up the facts that Tibetans enjoy freedom right now? Where's the evidence that Tibet was a feudal serfdom that tortued its people? If anything, I think all that eye-gouging and pulling out tendons began when China invaded Tibet. If Tibetan people enjoy freedom then why are there so many Tibetans seeking refuge from Tibet ever since the invasion? Why are Amnesty International so concern with what's going on there? How come there are so many political prisoners in Tibet? If there are so many of them doesn't that mean that there's something wrong with the current political system?
Furthermore, don't you think there's something wrong if the people you claim are enjoying freedom are revolting and demanding their freedom and their country's freedom? What is it about some people who just have to impose their ideas on others? Look, if they don't want you around, then leave them alone! Not everyone shares the same ideas that you do! Let these people live their lives according to the way they want already! It's their life! Not yours!
It just makes me want to cry because a lot of people are going to be reading that paper and it made just be effective in hiding the fact that there ARE people suffering and that they are very far from liberated in Tibet. And it should not be like that. It should not be like that. If you have any doubts of the truth of this, go read my paper (go through the Portal to Darkschunt on the sidebar and to my Tibetan page)! I'm sorry if this is getting a little heavy but this really cannot be allowed to happen. And it makes me sad to see the world like this. I feel disappointed. A lot of things I've seen are really awful, but just reading this brings it home to me again just how much suffering is going on in the world. And...can anything be done about this? When will it all stop? When will people stop doing this?

Tonight is a cloudy night, though earlier i spotted some stars...
We had a barbeque tonight - lots of people that I didn't know were there, also lots of marshmallows and chicken wings and wine. Lots of smoke rising to the sky - I said we must look like old primitives cooking their food around a fire and letting the smoke rise to the heavens above to carry the fragrance of burnt meat as an offering to the gods to give their food a little taste. Everyone told me to go back to burning my marshmallows. Then I told ghost stories about the girl and her room mate who were all alone in their dorm during study week and the girl goes down the hall to the bathroom and while she's in a cubicle she hears someone come in through the window and she gets scared and just hides in the stall while he goes into the hallway and then comes back in and goes back out through the window. She then goes running back to her room to tell her room mate and finds her room mate strangled to death. And I told the story about the couple who get stranded in their car on a dark lonely road and while they're waiting for help they hear that some psychopath with a hook for a right arm just escaped from a mental institute a few miles away on the radio and then someone comes along and starts rattling the doors from the outside but they're locked and the couple just sits there not moving until he leaves and finally a few hours later a road ranger comes by to help them out and says "hey, what's this?" and there's a hook hanging on the door handle - all of these old ghost stories. And everyone gets freaked out and goes like, "so are these real?" and i'm like "nooo" and they all go "chehhhhhh" and tell me to go back to burning my marshmallows again.

Whooooooooooooooo!!! Party time!!! Finals are over!!!
I feel so pleased with myself, i have accomplished my first semester abroad. New things are happening everyday.
I just can't get over how integrated i am with living a normal human life now.
The other day before i ran out to hand in my assignment (sneaking it in early morning monday so that they'll stamp it "friday" again ;)) i just turned around at the doorway to my room and looked back in my room and it was SUCH a mess, with clothes everywhere, papers strewn all over, my printer on the ground connected to my pc sitting on the desk above, and stuff everywhere, and it just looked SO like a teenage student's room, i just wanted to take a picture of it right then and there. It just looked so lived in, y'know? It wasn't anything neat and beautiful like those celebrity homes u see in In Style and on MTV Cribs but it was so much better than that. A person's things all over, a real person, bits and pieces of their life all over the place. My life.
It's really too bad I couldn't take a picture of it to show marcus and everyone else before i cleaned it all up today. Oh yeah, i stacked papers, put away all my books for the semester, vacuumed...now i'm sitting here, typing this, having a red wine vinaegrette sub and Pepsi for lunch while sitting by my window...my curtains are pulled aside and it's an incredibly beautiful day today, bright and sunny, a real difference from the past few rainy windy days...and the sun is shining in through the window where i have lined my empty glass alcohol bottles so that the sun will shine off them and create rainbow prisms for people who look at my window...
Ode to Winifred Burkle of Angel
FRED: "I am not—I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that! (softly) But I wonder... how very scared I am. (looks away)
...
FRED: My boys. I walk with heroes. Think about that.
WESLEY(crying, trying to hold himself together) :You are one.
FRED : Superhero. And this is my power: to not let them take me. Not me. (panting, crying)
WESLEY (sits beside her) That's right.
FRED: That's right.(laces her fingers through his) He's with me.
...
FRED(holding onto Wes's shoulders, looks into his eyes, quivering): I'm not scared. I'm not scared. I'm not scared.(her grip softens, she can't hold herself up) Please, Wesley, why can't I stay? (she goes still as Wes holds her in his arms)
WESLEY: (looks at her limp body in his arms):Please...
(hugs her) Please...
- ANGEL LAST SEASON EPISODE#103 A HOLE IN THE WORLD
I've just been reading the transcript for the last season of Angel, the episode "Shells", where Fred has died and Illyria has taken over her body and it is just so sad. I actually felt like crying when i read the end, it was just way so sad the way Fred's soul was consumed to resurrect Illyria. It was just so useless, y'know? You always think there's a way to bring them back...it'll all be ok, but it turns out Fred can never come back. Souls are always energy drifting about the worlds but this time, Fred really is no more because she was completely consumed by Illyria. And you really feel for Fred, the way she fought so hard, what she's been through. I thought I'd be the last person to be touched by Fred's death because I never really liked Fred all that much but it was just so...she had so much potential, she was so intelligent and beautiful and she went through so much, fighting her way in alternate dimensions, getting out alive, then learning how to live a normal life again (well as normal as u can get living with angel and gang), escaping being pushed into another alternate dimension and getting her revenge on the professor who first pushed her into the earlier dimension, all the things she went through and the way they showed her to have looked so forward to a bright life full of great things when she first left her home for LA...I felt it was so true the way she told Wesley how she had fought through so much, she just couldn't die like this. And you really feel for her the way she fought till the very end, and how she didn't want to die so much! It's not so bad if someone dying didn't mind leaving this world, but Fred didn't want that. But she did, anyway, which shows how easily life can snatch you away. It was just so heartbreaking. And frightening, because it showed how a soul can really be no more. But the one thing which I realized later was that even though Fred was consumed and really no more, the fact that there was still parts of her in Illyria made up for it...it was like, there still is Fred somewhere inside Illyria so there's still parts of her still alive. And so it wasn't really as if Fred was really no more, but she was, in a way, Illyria incarnated. FRED was ILLYRIA, the same way that I am now MYSELF and not MY FORMER PERSON but still somehow ME. And that was comforting, these parallels.
ILLYRIA: It's too small. It's too small. I can't breathe.I can't
live with these walls. I can't breathe. There's no room for anything
real.
WESLEY: It's all right.
ILLYRIA (glares at Wesley): I should gut you where you
stand. You challenged me. There's not enough space to open my jaws. My
face is not my face. I don't know what it will say.
WESLEY: Illyria... come with me.
...
ILLYRIA: All I am is what I am. I lived 7 lives at once. I was power and the ecstasy of death. I was god to a god.(looks down) Now... I-I'm trapped... on a roof. Just one roof... in this time and this place, with an unstable human who drinks too much
whiskey and called me a Smurf.
- ANGEL LAST SEASON EPISODE#105 UNDERNEATH
In the words of mah fren joy, "how cool is Illyria?" she is totally cool, Illyria is like amazing. In a way, it was kind of just so totally the right time for Fred to go and Illyria to take over. Illyria is like the evolution of Fred.
And I can feel for Illyria, the way she speaks of the way the walls are closing in...too small...how many times have i wanted to throw myself against the glass window because i just need to get out? To get out...even this world didn't feel big enough for me. It was frightening, that was frightening, to want to get out so much of this kind of claustrophobia.
For a while, because I've been so intent on integrating myself into normal life, I managed to forget those walls. But the other day, something happened which made me remember those walls and I panicked. But I forced myself to calm down, reminded myself that these "walls" can be overcome. They're just in your head, they're just in your head. Your spirit is so much more than that. It can overcome any walls. Gradually, I managed to overcome the claustrophobia, but it still rested with me the entire day, as I walked home, in the shower, while out with my friends. And I thought about it as I lay in my bed in the dark at night. It haunted me until I could not sleep. As I sat in the dark and thought about old times and my life today, I came up with a sort of analogy as to the claustrophobic walls of life and the parallels with climbing a straight completely vertical mountain side that was so high it seemed to have no beginning and no end. This claustrophobia, in a sense, wasn't so much like that of being locked in a room as in that of hanging off a mountain cliff with no where else to go but up and with the added fear of falling. And then I came up with my latest short story, the Mountain of Del`A`Kurk, which can be accessed through Darkschunt on the side bar. Just step through the portal... ;)

Now get up and try again.
Mood: Quiet, Reflective.
Sky Lantern: The moon is now a waning crescent, will start up again as a new moon on June 18.
Weather: The wind has been howling like a banshee for the past few nights and this morning but it's quiet now. It's been raining on and off, most annoying. I prefer a continuous rain.
Picture taken from WhiteLightEnterprises.
Look at you now
How you went down
You're not so proud now
Pride comes before a fall
Now see how hard you fall
You thought you were so great
Now you're down
Did you think it would be so easy?
Now see how hard it is
Are you angry or are you sad?
Are those tears of frustration or disappointment?
Did you get bruised or was it just your spirit?
Your pride?
Now get up and try it again
I dropped my cup and the handle smashed. Shards across the carpet of my room. Just like my dreams.
Now get up and try again.

Moonlight on Tombstones
Shop Music: RZA & Charles Bernstein - Crane/White Lightning, Kill Bill Vol. I OST.
Burning: Dusk Tropical Candle
Sky Lantern: Moon is in Waxing Gibbous, attaining first quarter (half-moon) on June 10th
Picture taken from Stargazing.
Just returned from the valley of tombstones...not to be mistaken with the valley of shadows or the valley of death...which is why I haven't been writing for the past week...just got back this weekend...slight turmoil in the land of the graves...
The moon was full on June 3rd, the last night in the valley of tombstones, so that was understandable...right now it is waning, in its Waxing Gibbous phase and only half of it will be left by Thursday...
Picture taken from Haunted Headstones.
Recuperating from exhaustion...moonlight and tombstones can do that to you...plus had a fully-packed weekend when i came back...my mailboxes were like totally full...dinners, shopping, meetings, clubbing...went to Metro R&B club this weekend...entry fee was $15 which was really pricey plus they don't even offer u one free drink...but it was worth it...it was the best club i've been to since i came here...
New Shopping List!
This weekend I bought:
1 lined camel-colored corduroy jacket with detachable fur collar from Rockmans(a definite winter essential what with the weather turning super cold these days)
1 black elbow-sleeved V-neck top from Target(basic essential sale)
1 black spaghetti-strap top from Valley Girl (I know i bought one last week but I just had to buy another because it is SO an essential that is gonna last me for ages and that i can wear like in comfort at home or when i go out plus it was still on sale!)
A birthday pressie for my best fren...darling!
Restrained myself from shopping any further...
News around the World - Massacres, Candles, Mothers of Princesses, and Queens.
The 15th anniversary of Tiananmen Square massacre happened on Saturday. Security in China prevented anyone from celebrating in Beijing but thousands lit candles in Hong Kong while Tibetans in exile in India voiced their support for the Chinese pro-democracy movement. Only one person lit a candle in Beijing, activist Hu Jia who is under house arrest.
Princess Diana's mother, Frances Shand Kydd, died last week at the age of 68.
The new Miss Universe 2004 is Jennifer Hawkins of Australia. First runner-up is Miss USA, Shandi Finnessey, while Miss Puerto Rico, Alba Giselle Reyes, was second runner-up.
