- I had a mostly shitty week. It was amazing that I didn’t rage alot as I usually do. I think age is calming me down somewhat. that, and a stupid wrist. God only knows how much I wanted to wreck my dick pillow every night when I got home.

- However, I guess looking forward to my week and abit off also brought alot of calm to me anyways HAHAHA! due to a lot of complications and confusion, I am not actually spending this off week away after all. Especially since there’s a specialist to see, an in-service to attend and a physio over 3 different days.

- I have taken myself off pain meds for the last 3-4 days now. I really don’t like the possibility of an addiction. Sure doesn’t feel like a withdrawal, although I did fear the pain would come back 10 fold like it did once. It didn’t. that is a big sign of recovery. I just need 5 conseceutive pain-free days and I am home free.

- I bought Yum-Yum Bento Box: Fresh Recipes for Adorable Lunches! It’s written by the author of one of my favourite bento site needless to say, I am quite excited about it. most importantly, unlike the terrible fail that was 501 bentos (mostly dark pictures, quite a rushed way of “recipe writing”), her partner and her were quite detailed where it needs to be, and not when it doesn’t . There are quite alot of helpful hints too, such as how to make certain things quick for such a thin book, I wasn’t expecting that much

- I indulged a little last week. I was so upset over a few things I… well, did some shopping therapy. I didn’t quite over spent, I promised. I did, however, found a nice home-made soap shop called Inner Earth Soaps! Got Berry Nice, Pomengrate, Minted Honey Herbal – French Milled Soap and non-scented body butter! Erin, the lady who owns the site, also kindly sent 2 samples: coconut Lime and spice route. I really like the coconut lime smell too!

you know, I always loved home made soaps… I don’t know why I never got around to learning how to make them. I guess it’s a little like cooking. sometimes, after whipping up a storm, I just couldn’t bring myself to eat them >.> (Lizzie!!! when you do make yours an etsy shop, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!)

- I bought the french cook book over the silver spoon. I think I mentioned it somewhere some time ago, but anyways. So I’ve gots it. It’s very inspiring. Since I have quite alot of spare time now, I am going to cook/modify some from it. particularly all those avocado related recipes ^_^v did I mentioned I am obsessed with avocados? hahahaha

- I got worried about my Enrolled Nursing course by about thursday. I heard nothing and when I logged on CIT’s stupid net enrolment shit, it said to me “this application was completed on the 19th of May.” WHAT THE!!!!! I knew the tech team was a little special, I just wasn’t quite expecting this. So I called up the coordinator who checked then told me it said the 16th of May to her (phew!) and that I am pretty much at the top of the pile (DOUBLE PHEW!!!) but the tech team hasn’t sent her all applications yet, and neither are the copies of it in hard copy form. so until that happens, she can’t send out letters for interviews yet.

which could mean this coming week or the next week. I hate this delay. it’s eating at me!!!

But at least I know where I stand with regards to nursing.

Last week, I saw one of my “wanted” slow cooker cookbooks on borders’ online store. It was about 16.95 and I was jumping all over it because it was $32.95 or something in store. Plus free delivery and etc, let’s just say, I was happy at it’s prices.

Borders have also been giving out email discounts for it’s online store, giving it another 10% off, plus a whole bunch of other things. also, they have vouchers sent to home for 40% off cookbooks and 30% other full priced books.

all in all, good for me, yes?

But I contemplated it for various reasons. most importantly, I was considering buying some other things instead for the week – such as bulk buying meat and other personal items, oh and saving up for a maid costume.

Now, it’s no longer available online. wtf. it’s just been a few days and it’s not available online?!?! /kick /scream

bitches.

Reading: Various nursing Texts and The Book Thief (still, yes, life’s busy)

Anime:

Bits and pieces of Toradora! (yes, I know it probably finished a while ago, I didn’t managed to find time to watch it when it was being slowly released. now I am paying the price of finding 0 seeders)

You have to admit though, the both of them are so cute HAHAHAHA

Kaichou wa Maid sama

I don’t know what it is about this series. It’s driving me mad with lots of love for it. Hell, I actually looked at a few maid costumes for a while no thanks to it. But it’s just such a cute show, with very cliche plots and so on and yet it grabs on tight to me. I absolutely love it.

Misa-chan is the first female student council president at her school, which used to be an all male school that just turned co-ed. To ensure that the male students respect female students and that there’s equality, she can often be quite hard on the boys and… to some extent, quite unfair. However, on the side, contrary to her “feminist” ideals, she works part time as a maid in a maid cafe to support her poor family. She tries to keep this information away from her school mates… until someone happen to see her at the maid cafe. This is the story of her life after that :p

on many levels, it reminds me of “My Sassy Girl”, because of how strong a personality Misa-chan is. at the same time, it’s unique in how dense she is when it comes to certain issues. Usui, her unexpected friend in her times of need, is of course… well.. my dream guy HAHAHAHAHAHA. If only to be 16 again… T_T

Hakuouki

and, of course, the Edo period series, Hakuouki. Not sure how this anime will turn out. currently quite promising even if it drags like a bitch at times.

Of course, I am still watching Naruto Shippuden (albeit I lapse every now and then so that I wouldn’t wait too much), Bleach and Fullmetal Alchemist.

Tv Shows: Bones; House; Lie to me

My stupid right arm: On the one hand, when I do go to the physio, it feels like it has improved. infact, that’s how it’s felt in the past 3 weeks, constantly improving. Today, my stupid degenerate of a right hand hurt like something exploded. the pain pulsed and throbbed from the wrist, to the elbows, to the back of my arm and then just right under the shoulder blades. Even after 2 Ibuprofen + Codeienes didn’t shut it up. took a third one and my night dose of endep to finally stem it of. Even then, I can feel hints of it just under the elbow nook. argh.

Been hooked on:

Pet Society will be the bane of my life. on the one hand, I hate it, Hotel City and Farmville for various reasons, ranging from how clockwork and mundane it is, to how much it is a rip off everyone. yet, at the same time, I am so drawn to how cute and pretty everything is. It reminded me a little about Gopets, something which I played once upon a time.

Back then, gopets has a PC Client component, and you can have pets crawling around your desktop and have other pets visiting yours, etc. As a way to be unique, you can “design” and “sell” clothings of your choice, on top of the variety that is already available. Sadly, Gopets has now disappeared, more or less. I started playing it less eventually myself. It required too much work and attention, then suddenly, one day, I discovered it was close.

Now, Pet Society tempts me with various ways to re-decorate the “house” my pets lives in. Similarly, I feel an urge to re-design my farm in FarmVille too. argh, MUST. RESIST!!!

Nursing: been reading up alot more about EENs and what they can do, in anticpation of the possibility of joining the EENs course. so, it seems, with further studies, quite available via distance education from the College of Nursing, I can specialise in particular aspects of nursing. I am quite intrigued by the Critical Care and Perioperative specialisation… hrmmmm

All right, need to be off to bed now. Completely forgot I am going to work just a wee bit earlier than usual tomorrow. oops.
