All my websites are going offline from sometime this week, until I can find a new host. I am moving everything.
Just a notice. Don't miss me, and find me at http://arwym.diaryland.com and my Vox account, by the name of Arwym, too.
Until then, see you.

Not that many care, but today I turned 19 years old. Yeah. I just wanted to mention it. By the way, I feel like an indigestion is coming up. And I feel like... nervous? I wonder why. Must be nothing.
By the way, that trip to Vieques wasn't meant to be, it seems. I wish I could have just stayed home today, reading, sleeping, listening to music, and eating birthday cake. But none of that was possible. Oh well.
Well, bye-bye.
EDIT: What... the heck. So here I was thinking, "God, what a gloomy birthday I had..." when someone softly knocks on my door. I was getting ready to say good night, but yet I open the door and go to the kitchen, assuming mom's calling me for something. And there are they, the three of them, and my brother says "Hey!" So I look at him, then at the others, and guess what's on the table? A dreamy birthday cake. This super good-looking, chocolate cake with real strawberies on top, and one tiny candle. They sing to me happy birthday, and then ask me to make a wish, like in the typical birthday cake ceremony. I made my wish, one which I am not telling. And the rest is easy to guess. We ate cake, blah le blah. The thing is, that now I feel bad. My feelings of indigestion and uneasiness are gone, which makes sense now. But I don't feel like I deserved that cake. I mean, wasn't I complaining minutes before, wishing I had a more normal day? Because all day, I felt out of place among those three (mom, Fernando and my brother). I should be less gloomy and more hopeful. I'll remind myself of that.
God, I can be so ungrateful... Sorry.

I just felt like reporting what I've been doing lately:
- Working
- Going to Borders (the bookstore)
- Reading Manga (both retail volumes and scans)
- Listening to Beethoven's 9 Symphonies
- Sleeping (as always...?)
And the manga I've been reading...
- Koukou (High School) Debut
- Nodame Cantabile
- Kaze Hikaru
- Monkey High! (Saruyama!)
- Five
- Skip Beat
And today, my first issue of Shojo Beat arrived! I am very happy about that. Bad thing is that I missed March's and April's issues, waiting for this one. I ordered in February, and look when it came: April! I got the May issue. But it's okay, because it brought an exclusive gift along: Shojo Beat's Exclusive How to Draw Manga, by Norimi Morisaki. It's about 35 pages long, but covers a lot of useful things. This is essential for me, because I want to draw my web manga like the professionals do, or at least very close.
I have been buying lots of books recently. So I feel bad for spending so much money... I got some new manga, a book about philosophy, and a pocket-sized reference book from the How to Draw manga line. I am such a freak, but it's okay.
I am happy about buying these. But from now on, I'll try to avoid buying manga volumes as long as I can get the scans online. Because it's too much money I don't currently have. And my job is in danger. I can't take risks at this moment.
On other news, this month I have to fill that Federal Student Aid Application. I have to see how it's done, because it's complicated, and I forget every year. But this is a must! If I can't get the help, I can't study. So instead of buying so many books, I should save. I should save for this. I was planning on opening a savings account for a trip to Europe that I want to go to when I graduate. But maybe I should forget about that... at least for now.
By the way! My
birthday is on the 5th! So we are only a few days away from that. I'll turn 19. Sadly, I won't be around for that. I am going with my mother, brother and 'stepfather' on a short weekend trip to
Vieques. If you don't know what Vieques is, check the Wikipedia. There's enough info about it.
I've never been to Vieques, so this is really exciting. I'll be taking my camera with me, with many batteries and two memory cards. And my laptop, to transfer the images from the device. And if I can connect to the internet to say hello, I'll do that too.
I leave this Friday in the evening. We're going on a boat! So the sea's gonna look dark... very dark. But I am going to enjoy every moment of this trip, and visit every special spot! Those are my goals!
Okay, now I must leave... to read more manga!
