I just did something dangerous…

I just did something bad to my time management progress… I signed up for egg cave after years of abandonment because:

a) it got repetitive and boring

b) too time consuming

c) all the obligations (taking care of pets, getting rare ones, feeding other people’s pets back)

Tough. But now I’ve signed up again because, well, I don’t know what to do on the internet so yeah… At least it’s better than going on amazon.com and spending money! I will try to keep a small cove now so it’s easier to manage.

Anyway, if you guys are interested in seeing my cute little fellas…

Inspired new blog

Just watched 17 Again for the 3rd time. :) It’s such an awesome movie, and I’m such a sucker for romance… so it’s inspired me to create a new blog (yet again) with a more open and flexible topic and yet still impersonal, unlike this one. So I’m sorry, I may have to stop updating this blog for a really long time, since I really can’t juggle three blogs and do well on the other two. I don’t want this one to get any traffic, because it’s MY blog, it’s very personal and I’ve basically written all about my friends and my daily life and such. I want my other two, Shojo MangAnime and my new one to get traffic, though. :P

Phew that was a lot of work

All I can say is: Picky, picky! Naturally, of course. Today, I helped create a Chinese blog for my mom. ^_^ You can check it out here, it’s called Amyu999. I think it’s cool. For a Chinese blog. -_-

Kidding :P It’s very interesting, and when Mom has a good amount of posts she will notify her fellow relatives (namely her siblings and in-laws) about it so they will read it! :D

Sadly they can’t read mine, since it’s all in English. Oh well. :)

 

That’s all for now. If you wanna see some real Chinese, be sure to check her site! :D

Mind that they only refuse pet’s piss. I’m going to collect my own liquid waste products for a week and pour them over that sign.

This reminds me of those old signs they use to sell at pool supply stores.

“Welcome to our ool. You will notice there is no P in it, please keep it that way”

You will not believe this

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen in my whole life!!!

My brother sent me this link from engrish.com

As I said before in the previous post, this is “ridiculously funny chinese city culture in the best sense”

look at the bottom right corner!!!!! Taste: Kim Possible!!!! LOL

of course, I can explain why that happened. You see, in Chinese, Kim Possible is called “麻辣女孩”

So I guess that’s why the Beijing people thought it was okay to translate 麻辣 (which means mildly spicy btw) to Kim Possible.

 

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH

HA HA HAAH A HAH AH AH A AHAH (constipation by this time)

 

Ok. I’m done laughing now.

 

But wasn’t that the funniest thing ever??

This has inspired me to create a new blog……… maybe about the funniest things I have ever seen!!!!!!

but then i don’t want ppl to get numb to funny things. :(

Confused

I don’t know what to do…

 

See, I created a new blog called Shojo MangAnime but what’s driving me nuts is that I don’t know how to juggle two blogs. I mean, the new one is turning out great I guess, since it’s a complete 100% Manga & Anime blog. So this one is a lot more personal. I don’t know if I should quit this one or not. I feel better here, like I can write whatever I want.

 

Still, I love my new one and I feel that the point of that blog is a lot clearer than this one…

 

My brother sent me something extremely funny, but it has nothing to do with anime or manga, just ridiculously funny chinese city culture in the best sense… so I’ll just put it in here.

Oh my God, this blog is turning into a wastebasket, or a leftover rack or whatever. Anything nothing to do with anime or manga goes here. Like daily life and such.

That works.

The bad part about this arrangement is that this blog will be completely personal and have little to no posts on anime or manga…

Aww….

Oh well, that’s that then. I’ll be working on my new blog more lately, so this blog will go to sleep a lot…. Hope you guys don’t mind! :)
