i’m blood type…

A.

Yes, I’m under blood group A. Officially. Do I need to repeat that?

For the fun of it, I went digging some personality info about it (yeah, I know. People say it’s rubbish and all, but like I said, it’s for the fun of it). Interestingly:

While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists) that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type A’s are the most artistic of the blood groups. They can be shy, are conscientious, trustworthy, and sensitive (BellaOnline, 2008).

People with blood type A have a deep-rooted strength that helps them stay calm in a crisis when everyone else is panicking. However, they tend to avoid confrontation, and feel very uncomfortable around people. A types are shy and sometimes withdrawn. They seek harmony and are very polite, but all the same feel that they never really fit in with others. A types are very responsible. If there is a job to be done, they prefer to take care of it themselves. These people crave success and are perfectionists. They are also very creative, and the most artistic of all the blood types, most likely because of their sensitivity (Issendai’s Lair).

In short:

calm

patient

sensitive

responsible

overcautious

stubborn

unable to relax (Japan Visitor, 2000)

 

Reading all these, I see some similarities within me. Not all, but some. Heh.

People with blood type A (as far as I know):

Angela Aki (how coincidental can this get?); Kuwashima Houko; Hayamizu Risa; Seki Toshihiko

hallelujah ima~!!!

oh frustration…

why do I have to feel like this today?!

Now everyone gets frustrated (duh! who doesn’t?). And frustration comes from different sources. In my case:

• It’s frustrating when things don’t go as planned – It’s normal, so these days I’m so used to it, my frustration level goes all the way to zero. Reminder to self and everyone: Don’t expect too much unless you’re sure the plan will work.
• It’s frustrating when people are not paying attention to you – Sometimes or should I say often, in conversations, I ended up not finishing my sentence because the person wasn’t listening anymore. These days, I’m considering of talking only when I want to or when people really want me to explain something (for I’m more of a listener).
• It’s frustrating when people are not making a move – i.e. take the initiative. Although it’s alright making the first move, I don’t like it when it’s always me who end up doing it. Unless it’s something I’m willing to do, I always thought of screaming to others to “move your arses this instance!!”, especially when it comes to Q&A sessions or planning for meetings (as in nonwork ones).
• It’s frustrating when people express ’cheesily’ – Despite the sentence, this is actually quite difficult to explain. It depends on how people see cheesy as cheesy, get it? Let’s take Michael Phelps, for example (if you happen to come across this post, Mr. Phelps, forgive me). In my opinion, a cheesy description of him will be, “Oh wow, he’s so hot! He has a very nice body and all!”. It sounds so typical, I want to puke. Why not say something like, “He has great swimming techniques,” or “He has such strong determination,” or even “He deserves salutations if he ever achieve more golds in the next Olympics”? *prepares for fangirls attack (if they ever read this)*
• It’s frustrating when the mood affect others – Like today. I was moody (sort of) over something (you’ll know it when I write the next post the next day) that I ended up throwing bits of tantrum at my sisters. This, I must blame myself. I should keep my own issues to me and only me. I’m now getting this over through m-flo’s music *sings the line, ‘DJ, play that music louder, onegai~!’*

These are common ones. Most of the time, I tolerate things but frustration will always say ‘hi’ to me and make the rest of my day miserable lest I do something about it.

Hmmm… I feel so fine after writing this *resumes reading Murakami Haruki*

workin’…

Since yesterday, I’ve started doing what I missed out during my studies…

That would be cleaning my room; clearing up my school stuffs; reading my novels (currently reading Murakami Haruki’s 世界の終りとハードボイルド・ワンダーランド); writing stories; storing data from ‘New’ (yes, that frikkin’ Malaysian-made computer that my big sis managed to save when I was in KL in May) to memory sticks, CDs and DVDs; etc, etc…

Yeah, I’m kinda working there, but it doesn’t matter. With more freedom gained after my studies, I told myself to make good use of it before my internship starts (but for sure I won’t get everything done by then. Will take it slow and steady, hehe XP).

BTW, I’ve just updated About and Schedule pages. Feel free to refer to the link at the top.

yatta~!!!!

After more than three years, my time in college is all over….

Yaaaaayyyyy~!!!!

But it isn’t ALL over. I still have my internship next month, and graduation at the end of this year. Hoping that my result will be just fine. Yesterday’s paper was scary *faints*

To commemorate this post:

Angela Aki – Tegami ~Haikei Jyugo no Kimi e~

This song reminds me of myself… truth is, I can relate myself to some of her songs (though I’m younger than her XP). I love Tegami soooo much *almost in tears*

two down, two to go…

It all goes down to international marketing, and training and development… wish myself the best *faints*

I just got this e-mail from Japanese Online, which I haven’t visited for a very very long time (too occupied with my studies). Never mind, never mind. After my finals, I’ll go there more often. I have more time by then *yay~!*

Lastly, to commemorate this post…

Five down, three to go for Michael Phelps. Phelp’stan! (say CNN sports dudes)

Since when all performances at the Beijing Olympics’s opening ceremony were real? (honestly, I’m not surprised)

one down, three to go…

This week’s my finals of all finals… I call this the Academic Olympics (hey, the Olympics’s in progress right now!… It so happens that swimming – one of the events I usually watch – falls on this week. Ah, the timing…).

Anyway, yes, three more papers to go. Olympics~!!!

To commemorate this post…

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away… (come to think of it, it works to a certain extent)

But I say a dose of Angela Aki keeps me from going nuts! XD

Preview of her latest single

Keep On Believing~!!!

this is very bad…

really bad…

For the past few days, I’ve been preparing for my exams.

Then today, I went out with my sisters, driving in the rain with a rather messy mind which I wasn’t aware of until I almost got myself knocked by another car (luckily we were in slow mo) and my big sis told me, “You must be thinking too much.”

This was followed by a series of a few more (scary) mistakes on the road – making wrong turns, not reacting as quickly as I usually do when it wasn’t raining, etc. It felt as if I’m looking for trouble… wait, I WAS looking for trouble.

Gila saya nak cari nahas! (trans: Crazy me wanting trouble!)

Trouble trouble trouble~!!!

This is an issue to me now because I realised I wasn’t able to maintain focus. I thought I can but nope, it ain’t so true. I need to better myself. Lies need to be gone; reality need no denial…

Somehow, I’m imagining myself in one of those Japanese slice-of-life shows… Hachimitsu to Clover, anyone?

No Bleach next week, by the way (as in 8/13, will be back on 8/20). Good; I can focus XD. No, watch that freakin’ Chemistry video first XP

e-mail cleaning…

Success XDDDDDDDDDDD !!!!!!!!! Otsukaresama deshita~!!! *pats self on the head*

Now focus on finals… preparing for the final war… hehehehehehehe…

And I won’t be surprise if I have lots of e-mails again. Nuh-uh!

Before I leave, here’s this season’s fave anime theme of mine. It’s weird but I like the song XP

Chemistry – Life Goes On (Antique Bakery OP theme)
