I changed the blog setup
Mood: ![]() Now Playing: no music, but I would like to listen to Superchic[k] actually... the song "TV Land" specifically. Topic: blog/site work and I don't know if I like it exactly- I'm not sure of how everything works... Actually, I do understand how [most of] the options work, and I do like some of the new features, but I now have changed this blog to be a community blog and things are different when I try to post... I don't think I like this, and I'm pretty much just a solitary blogger so I am going to try changing the settings again- maybe that will help me. ... Actually, I don't know if it would be a good idea for me to remain a solitary blogger or not- would you the reader be so kind as to give me your opinion (and possibly, prayers) on this matter? I would truly appreciate it- and I would really like the help in making this decision. Of course, I could also just make another blog similar to this one for community purposes... wow, that also sounds like a good idea! ack! I want to make the best decision! ...help, please? -Daiko~ (yeah, not too much now I should be studying I'll do more editing later.) Pray for me!~

lovely school days
Mood: ![]() Now Playing: silence (no music- just sounds in the background) I've just started my fall semester of school today- I'm heading off to my microbio lecture class, and I'll be back to do more blogging later. **** Okay, I returned from my class some time ago- it was nice [for a standard first day- the teacher introduced himself and went over the rules and the syllabus] and things look really promising. I am so happy that I'll be able to borrow the Microbio books from my lovely friend Ashley- she is so wonderful :heart emote here: -I think I will really enjoy this class... (I like the microscopic world- it's invisible!!) [and I'm having a hard time getting all the words out on this at the moment... ah well] I guess that should be obvious... Anyway, I'll be writing more about this and other stuff in this blog- but later. **** I just love this blog now!! I will stay here~ *goes off to edit the entry on her brother's birthday* -Daiko~ (pray for me)

Kabigon's Birthday!!
Mood: ![]() Now Playing: the sounds of a house getting ready for bed today is my lovely little brother's birthday!! ...and I will fill this entry with more information later- good night for now. -Daiko~ (must sleep! pray for me...)
Jaded? (somewhat) [Olympics & Art]
Mood: ![]() Now Playing: Olympics on tv in the background. Topic: wondering where I stand yes, I feel this way somewhat with regard to the two things I mentioned above in the title I posted about my "jaded-ness" in art over in the CAA's forums a bit earlier this night. -of course, I'm probably wrong in regards to the way that I am evaluating things- actually, I'm rambling... **** Anyway, what I originally wished to post about in my blog for this entry is this: I'm getting tired of the Olympics. ... I know that these are beautiful events, and that they are great to watch- but I'm the kind of person who can identify when things are set up in a formula-like way, and after a while when I see these things, I don't like them as much as I did intially. -I'm beginning to see during the broadcasts of the Olympic games (as I watch in America): excited commentators who were former athletes judges making many weird decisions with regards to rules and scoring dramatic/melodramatic use of music throughout the footage of the athletes' performances and... overplaying of the National Anthem -Don't get me wrong, I DO appreicate everyone's efforts with regards to this, and I am fully aware of how beautiful and wonderful the Olympics really are- but I'm tired. ... meh, I don't think that I stated this too well tonight- I'll return to this subject in the future (if I can). -Daiko~ (wow, I see all these wonderful new features that the Angelfire blogs have recieved- yay for new upgrades!! :heart: )

(you can tell that I've been watching the Olympics...)
for a few days now and I've really been enjoying it~ wow. so amazing... just a few minutes ago, I saw the my home country win the swimming relay (yay!! U.S.A.!!) and... what Micheal Phelps said was amazing. I am so happy~ -Daiko~ *goes off to watch more of the Olympics tonight* (please pray for me...)

so that hurricane ended up changing direction
-which is also odd since my cousin who lives in Pinellas had evacuated, but after she left her home the evacuation status was lowered to voluntary leaving only- interesting. Anyways, hurricane Charley did arrive today- and you can find futher details on its/his(?) effects on many sites- I will not be discussing that in too much depth though. -for me, it was an odd day I didn't get to go out today, except for when I went outside the house to move several of my Mom's potted plants (I put some inside the house while I placed some in the garage and in other safe places where the wind wouldn't get to them and cause them to do dramatic damage) and to bring in some groceries. ugh, I spent most of the day watching the tv though- that wasn't fun (I don't like what's on broadcast television usually, I prefer DVD's and entertaining myself- but that's another topic altogether.) so that I would keep up to date on Charley's direction ...that made me so sleepy- I feel like I slept most of the day away (*slept for more than an hour*). -over here, I'm a bit north of Tampa so I and my community was quite fortunate that we did not recieve the full blast of the storm (unlike the poor people who live further to the east from us- like those in Fort Myers) -the eye of the hurricane ended up heading west. Yeah, I was safe and this hurricane was a big deal after all- I'll try to not take things like this so lightly in the future (I saw footage of a post office having the winds rip off the metal roof like it was some sort of heavy blanket o.0!! ...) Thank You Lord for Your kindness and for making sure that not too many people were harmed- Father, I am so thankful. -Daiko~ (pray for me) **** addendum: I seem to be having a problem reading the comments in this blog- I'll put up my e-mail temporarily, but keep in mind that I HATE all SPAM. ... mokonapu[remove this: NO SPAM!!]@hot mail.com thank you in advance.

I'm not worried about the hurricane
but it would be good if I was prepared for it- even just mentally since on the news it was said that Hurricane Charley is coming to my state (maybe even to my town). Yet, I've heard that it's going to hit Pinellas county (probably) the hardest- so I'm not worried at all, and I believe that I and my family has the capability (as well as the physical supplies) to literally weather the storm. -and that's good. ... Actually, I find this "hurricane hullabaloo" (as I termed it) to be interesting and fascinating in a few ways- to me, it almost seems as if people are excited about this, and I find that strange since Florida is familiar with hurricanes and tropical storms also, it's quite odd that this seems to be the only hurricane that Florida has had to worry about all this summer- as I've seen it, usually we get more than one to worry about, and it tends not to do too much damage in it's wake still, this situation is important, so I won't make light of it even though it seems odd. ... Wow, I devoted a whole bit of a blog entry to a hurricane- who would have thought? -Daiko (pray for me) **** off topic: ... my chatterbox has died- I'll see about ressurrecting it later or doing something else with it -sigh-

God is so GOOD.
-Dave and I are now ready to take our classes together for the upcoming Fall semester- I just paid for and found the classes we needed. -I will go to sleep soon after I post this, but I'll be back later (I want to type about all the things that have taken place... and write about more things as well~) Praise the Lord! for He is Good. -Daiko~ (let's all pray for each other...)

I'll return home after I travel through the rain
what I said in the title of the entry is true on so many levels... literally, it was a very dark night that I drove home through a little while ago- it was raining and lightning as well. It was really beautiful though... it looks like there's a full moon out and I loved seeing it peek through the thick grey clouds on the way out of the college. ...I found it a bit strange that it rained this night because usually, it hasn't rained around nine in the evening over here. -ah well. **** I have been doing what I can to return home despite the rain and the other things that stand in the way with regards to attending Mass more often and getting up early in the morning. I've had help -it was really nice being able to get up just before eight today- that's hard for me since people in my house tend to go to sleep late ^_^;; I shouldn't let that affect me too adversely though. -sigh- **** ah blog, why is it- no, I shouldn't talk to my blog- it can't answer me ah... I haven't been able to post- no, I just haven't posted not due to a lack of inspiration but because I find it hard to write down what it is that I've felt and experienced the longer one takes to record an event the harder it is to capture that sense of immediacy and freshness. I think that you, my reader can probably understand what I've said on this matter. I've mentioned this before (though in words that differ from these) so I'll just do what I can and not linger more on this topic. ... I have things to say, but a lack of willingness to type them now- well, there is later and my brother I'll go look in on him since he may be ill -that is important. I'll talk about how much I enjoyed going to the beach with my friends later (that happened yesterday :) **** pray for me please, and have fun (you may visit my [oekaki board] or [my store] if you wish :) -Daiko~
