waaa...As I was updating myself with the out-dated journals of my friends, I happened to pass by journal about "Top Ten Trivia about Aizu-Mari" that she got from 's journal(this will end up as a chain mail yah know...hehe). And since little...ah..i mean...Big Miss Muffet has nothing to do at hand (for the mean time), She decided to try it out. It the end, the result was very hilarious. It's really entertaining though it's a bit senseless but still...very funny!

Here are my results:

YAHOOOO!!! The Board exam is over!!


Anxiety attacks are now downgrade to 0. All we have to do know is wait and PRAY. Offer everything that we did and offer that we have to the Almighty Father.

I/We have our concerns with the board exam. Just like saying

"Did I choose the right answer?", "Did I shade all the boxes?". "Did I write the correct and complete entries in my answer sheet" and "Did I shade right?".

Such worries are inevitable but nevertheless quite normal. I would just refer to them as Post Exam Effect or PEE. We'll all pray for the best~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anywhooooo~I'm now planning for future plans while I await for the results of the board exam. They're still plans and I haven't executed one of them yet. Here are some the them:

1. Find a JOB!!! (desperately need to earn money so as not to be a leech to my parents, especially to my mom.

UPDATE: Oh YEAH!!! totally and definitely found one!! Cheap salary but hey at least I have some job to avoid me from being a retarded snail.

------

2. Hunt for fabrics and stuffs needed for my next cosplay. (Might as well find a seamstress who can sew my costume for me 'coz I totally sucked and I was such a lame snail when I tried sewing for myself.



UPDATE: T^T Sadly, I have no budget for that ....I mean for now...T^T Dratts!!!! >_<
-------

3. Plan for a cosplay photoshoot. (but I have to secure the schedule of some important people


UPDATE: WTef! happened?! Seems like my friends got a little busy... Am I one of them???Hmmmmmmmmmm~ -___-; hehe
-------

4. Continue the supaaahh pending MANGA MANGA MANGA!!! collaboration that I have with my friend Dwusky and Dichi . (hmmmm...I can also try to start and finish my personal made mangas too~

UPDATE: YATTAH!!! Done with the sketches..It's now in the hands of my co-mangaka. He's inking it at this moment but right now, I must finish my personal-made story. o>___<o

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh well, so far these are just but plans. I'm trying to have my starting point target next week. I know that I may sound like someone who just came out from Steven Covey's book about "effective habits" but at least I'm trying to start something to kill the wait . This can be healthy for me...well...most probably. Wish me luck guys~ I pray that I do get successful in my plans and goals.

and oh~ I'm so in love with vampire chronicles/sagas right now~ hahaha~ Thank you Anne Rice and Stephanie Meyers!!!
