Video games please...^_^

So, I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging for a while, but school is distracting me and I have a lot on my plate to worry about! But I decided to blog today because recently I found out that Final Fantasy 13 just came out and I was like, "Really! I want to get it!" But I was joking to my friends because I don't have a PS3 or an X-Box for Final Fantasy:(

I realized that all these years, I've missed on some awesome video games, like Final Fantasy and I never had the chance to actually play them or even own one.
So now, I want to own a video game system! I want to know what it's like to actually own one instead of an Nintendo DS (not that there's anything wrong with it).
I mean, I'm 18 years old now and I'm learning to do things on my own (like driving for example), so my parents find me more responsible that way. But my mom still thinks I need help on my homework, even though I really don't, because she thinks I don't do my homework.

Anyway, I'm thinking of making a deal with my parents. You see, I promised them that I would work hard on my studies and I would get a B average in all my classes. I am more determined to do it because I know I'll recieve a gift of my choice if I do well in school. And you see, the gift I want is a video game system.

I know for a fact that my dad'll probably freak out because he said "NO" to any video game system because he said it would turn our brains into cheese. But he has always accepted Nintendo DS's for some strange reason. But I really want a video game system of my choice really bad!!
I also want a TV in my bedroom (I just realized that I have a little bit of room for a small 19" screen TV in my bedroom) so that way, I won't be hogging up the family room TV when I get a video game system.

I know that's all selfish and spoiled, but I really want to get it no matter what!

So I'm thinking the video game system I want would have to be PS2 and PS3. Why you ask?
Well, because Kingdom Hearts is a PS2 game and I love that game to the core!!! That's why I want a PS2.
And a PS3 because of Final Fantasy of course. But that would mean that I would have to get an X-box for all the other Final Fantasy games T_T

Bummer!

So I think I'll stick to PS2 because I adore Kingdom Hearts the most. Final Fantasy will come later in the future.

I mostly love Kingdom Hearts because it involves Disney characters in it and me and my sister love Disney!!! I also love it because it has a good plot to it and the game looks awesome to play!

This is the first game of Kingdom Hearts. It came out in 2002 and I still remember that.


This is the second Kingdom Hearts game. I heard it was better and more fun to play.


This is Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. It's supposed to be a prequel of some sort that came out in Gameboy Advanced for the first time.


This is Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days. This is also another prequeal and it came out in September last year. And I was there to hear about it!!!


This is Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Another prequel and it just came out in Japan and it's coming this summer in America!!! I can't wait!!



So yeah, I have a whole lot of games that I really want when I get a PS2 from Amazon (they still them there). But I'm not postive that my parents would be more than willing to spend all that money for all the things that I really want.

Oh well, at least I can still get Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 days on Nintendo DS. But I must have a PS2, I must have a PS2!!!!

Argh! I'm so spoiled!!!

Homework time now. Bye ^_^

I watched Kiki's Delivery Service...FINALLY!!!!

It's been so many long years, but I finally managed to get my hands on it! Yup, that's right ;) I finally got Kiki's Delivery Service the Studio Ghibli film. And why has it been so many long years you ask?

Well when I was kid, I was into Sabrina: The Teenage Witch (this was long before I got into Harry Potter) and I loved all the fantasy and magic that was in the show. But my parents disapproved me watching the show because it was not "chirstian" appropiate for me and my siblings. Meaning, they thought it would influence us to fly on broomsticks and pretend to boil potions into a black pot!
Like I would do anything like that!!!

Anyway, they made us stop watching it by giving us a movie (we were huge movie lovers back in the day). In the movie, there was an trailer for Kiki's Delivery Service and I was astounded by the art work and the style of the characters and the storyline looked interesting. I was like,"Mom, can we buy this film."
But of course my mom said "no" because she and my dad were trying to pull me away from watching anything that involved witches. Yet, they let me watch The Wizard of Oz and The Sword in the Stone!!! Good grief!!!
I still don't understand parents today.

So for years, I have never bought the film I have always wanted. But now since I'm much older and my parents trust me, I bought the film on my own with my own money!!! It was a good thing too because with the new movie, Ponyo out on DVD, they're selling ALL of the Studio Guibli films!!! Yay ^___^
I'm gonna try to collect them all while they're still in stores like Best Buy. But they're so expensive T_T. Almost $25.99 per each movie!!!!!! No fair!!!

I would go to Target to get the other films for a cheaper price, but sometimes Target sells Fullscreen editions and I HATE fullscreen!!!!
Oh well, I'll get them all when I can :) But anyway, I watched the movie and I loved it!!!
It was a good family friendly movie, so I don't see the problem about not watching it with your kids. Every kid needs a little imagination in their life, so sometimes it doesn't hurt for them to watch something that involves witches.
Besides, Kiki wasn't an evil witch and she didn't have any powers except flying, so there is nothing wrong with an anime film like that!!!

Anyway, good film. I think I'm gonna watch it again so goodbye for now ^__^


P.S.
The next movie I want to get is Howl's Moving Castle. I would die without it!!!!

My male friend loves Fruits Basket ^__^

Yup! It's true. My good friend Jordin is starting to love Fruits Basket because I've been encouraging him to watch the anime and read the manga.
No!!! It does not mean he's gay or anything, it just means he has an interest for sweet stories like Fruits Basket and I'm cool with it :D

If you ask me, I think it's awesome when I guy likes anime shows that a girl likes because it gives them more things to talk about or it means that the guy has feelings for the girl>.< I don't think that Jordin has any interest in me except for being his good friend, so don't expect us to be dating in less than a month.

Highly impossible.

Anyway, I think it's sweet that Jordin is watching Fruits Basket and he's learning to like his cosplay character, Kyo, more. I claimed to say that he wants to dye his hair bright orange so we don't have to waste too much money on the wig!!! But I'm like,"No way Jordin!!! I love the way your hair is, so don't change it!!!"
He laughed and said he was kidding. So we are going to get a wig for him and color contacts too. According to the manga, Kyo's eyes are orange like his hair so it'll be interesting seeing Jordin's eyes like. lol.

In other news, my college friends have encouraged me to write fanfiction!!! Yes!!! Fanfiction!!! And I'm writing like crazy. I'm writing about Naruto and Hinata and their love relationship. You see, in the anime and manga, Hinata has a major crush on Naruto but dumb dimwitted Naruto doesn't seem to realieze it. Throughout the series, Naruto grows some feelings for Hinata and it's always so sweet when he actually thinks and cares about her.
But unfortunatly, there has been no kiss scenes between them:( The kissing only happens in fanfiction and fan drawings, which lucky for you, I am making:) I would post my fanfiction on Fanfiction.net but I'm not sure what people will think because I repeat a lot of words like "Blush" and it gets annoying after a while.
So I try to find longer words that mean the same thing and it will also prevent me from repeating small words. Also, I'm afraid what people will think of my fanfic in general.

I mean, my story is a little dirty but it's innocent at the same time. So I'm not sure if people want Naruto and Hinata to make out hard core or to just be innocent. It's kind of fustrating, but I'll make the story my way and if people don't like it, then that's fine. I have no intention of becoming famous for writing fanfic anyway.
But I think my friends will adore it because they all love me very much and they love anything that I do or anything that I write in this case.

That's all for now. Peace out ;D

I have more people cosplaying with me!!!

I'm so happy right now! You see, I sent a message to my friend Jordin about cosplaying and that I needed another person to complete my small group. Well, he answered back saying that he'd LOVE TO IT!!!! That's why I'm so happy!!!
I'm also in complete shock because Jordin seems to be one of those guys who only cares about football and little about school. I guess I was wrong ^__^ He actually wants to cosplay and have fun with me and my small group at the AnimeExpo!!!

So he is going to be Kyo from Fruits Basket and I'm letting him decide on what charcter he wants to be from Naruto Shippuden. But I think he should be either Kakashi or Neji because he's tall enough to be either one. And oh yeah, I found a Naruto!!! My friend Phil really wants to be Naruto, but he has to come up with money or he'll never get the fabric:( So he's saving up a lot right now, which is a good thing. I haven't told him about Fruits Basket yet, but I will tomorrow.

And the last person who wants to cosplay along with me, is my college friend Raquel. She wants to be Hima-Jima from Fruits Basket and Ten-Ten from Naruto Shippuden. Now I think that's great and the best part is: Her mom is really good at sewing!!! So her costume could probably be done before ours >.< But I can't wait to get all together and start sewing as soon as possible.

So here is my cosplay group (for the moment):

Me: Sakura(Naruto Shippuden), Torhu Honda(Fruits Basket)
Flavio: Sasuke(Naruto Shippuden), Yuki Sohma(Fruits Basket)
Jordin: *Unknown*(Naruto Shippuden), Kyo Sohma(Fruits Basket)
Phil: Naruto(Naruto Shippuden), *Unknown*(Fruits Basket)
Raquel: Ten-Ten(Naruto Shippuden), Hana-Jima(Fruits Basket)

I think I have enough people for this AnimeExpo because that's all my can take. And besides, she's thinking about having one of her friends be a chapprone because my mom can't handle all of us herself. Especially Phil, because the last we went somewhere, he asked my mom to take him to TOYS 'R US so he could buy all the New Moon stuff they had.
Are you kidding me?! Oh well, that was a while back. But next time, I'm gonna be more prepared to say NOOOOOOO!!!!!

Ok, well I'm gonna rap up and say good night because I have a big day tomorrow and I need my sleep. Tomorrow, I'm going to go help out serve a breakfast for Dr. Suess's birthday, then I'm gonna go with Oscar and Phil to see Alice in Wonderland in IMAX!!!!!! I'm sooo excitedXD

Goodnight:)

Cosplay progress...not really

So, last weekend my mom and I started practicing on my mom's new sewing machine!!! It's a really nice one and more advanced than her previous one. I haven't taken a picture of it, but I will soon.

Anyway, I wanted to show you guys the shirt that I bought for my Torhu Honda costume. I'm gonna cut the sleeves because their too long and I'll probably wear a sports bra underneath the shirt because when I first tried on the shirt, the buttons wouldn't close. But with my sports bra on, the shirt fitted nicely:) It's because my chest is slighty big (but not too big) and the shirt just didn't fit, unless I had a sports bra on.
So when I go to the AnimeExpo, I'll make sure to have a sports bra and undershirt with me (I need an undershirt because the shirt's almost see through).




I think it's kind of pointless that I added a similar photo of the first:)


This is a rose that my best friend, Oscar, gave to me on Valentines Day. I thought that was really sweet of him. But we're not together and we're never going to be.


Just some random photo I took of myself with my Bubbles plush doll, so you all can know what I look like. It's not a full face photo, but I want to keep my face a secret until I start having more cosplay photos.


I know, not much of cosplay progress photos, but that's all I have. And the last two pics were just random @_@ Sorry. Next time, I'll post a real cosplay progress in my next blog.

"How can I repay you brother of mine..."

A line from the song Brother from Fullmetal Alchemist. I love this song that it makes me want to cry sometimes but yet, I have no tears to shed :(

Anyway, the reason why I'm talking about this is because my brother and I have been fighting and having arguments today about him not going to Subway because I had to practice my piano and he was starving. But I kept reminding him that he could make his own subway sandwich at home for free and he wouldn't have to worry about lines and such. But that just made him yell and scream at me more mostly because he was hungry and tired.
I don't blame him, but he shouldn't get super angry that I just wanted to go home and that I was in no mood to go into Subway. Don't get me wrong, I mean, I love Subway but I just wasn't in the mood to go through Merced (we go to Merced college everyday) and into the mall to have a sandwich. Besides, my piano practice was today and I was behind on practicing.

So when we got home, my brother went directly to the kitchen and was soon gobbling down on boiled eggs and Ritz crackers because he needed to go to the store to buy milk and such.
You see, our parents are on a little vaction at Stanford because my dad is giving a speech to the students about his time in the army in Vietiam.
Yes, my dad is THAT old!!!
Anyway, we were out of milk and my brother didn't have any money what-so-ever. So I had to cough up $15 because he then told me that he wanted to buy something else from the store.
I.....CAN'T......BELIEVE.....HIM!!!!!!
He's a worthless 20 year old!
He doesn't know what is important and what's not important. And appartently, he only thinks about himself and could care less about his two younger sisters who love him very much. But no worries, when he got back home, he was as happy as clam and he was back to being the brother that me and my sister love.

Stuff like that happens in my family because my brother and sister both have autism and I'm hearing impaired, so we do and say bad things to each other once in a while. But after a while, we make up and we're back to being our normal selves. I just hope I can repay my brother next time because he's still pretty mad at me.
But I know that somewhere in his fat husky heart, he loves me for being his little sister :)
