Chasing After Rainbows

As summer approaches around the beginning of June, the weather has become so unpredictable that I brought my umbrella whenever I go. I have not forgotten what Haruna told me a few weeks ago. After what happened last month, I have somewhat gotten used to this routine that was originally hers. There are sill things that I'm not familiar with though. After school ended on a Saturday, Kyousuke approached me. He looked somewhat nervous. Kyousuke: "Um, Haruna. Would you like to join me to go to Harajuku and Shibuya? I'm looking for something to buy there. Just the two of us." Well, I don't see anything wrong with going out with him like we are buddies, but then I remembered that I am now in a girl's body. Haruna (the original owner of the body i'm in now) had earlier told me that either Minoru or Kyousuke has liking for her. What should I do? I started to think a lot of things. Haruna seems to be thinking about the exact same thing. Me: "S-s-sur...

(YouTube video is unrelated to this post, but it is for another ) I can't help but notice that this blog is rendered differently on the same PC & OS, but different internet browsers. Here's a screenshot of the area below the blog title and just above the content of the previous post that I made to compare: The one that seems to render the page the best is Safari while the worst is ironically IE7, though Firefox would have the fonts displayed similar to the operating system. You can tell by just looking at the text, smoothness of the edges of the avatar, and the position of the search box. On top of that, you would also notice that "by 高橋はるか" (me) is positioned differently. IE7: at the right-hand-side of the post Firefox 3: just next to the date Safari 3.1: on the right at the line below the date I honestly don't know which is the "correct" one, but Safari seems to do better in the Acid3 Test . The Opera browser is the closest to get...

When traveling in a vehicle that is moving faster than 60 km/h, I would start to feel dizzy and/or have an unexplained feeling of fear. I would feel even more so if speeds exceed 125 km/h, especially when on a high-speed train or an airplane. Speaking of airplanes, on my first flight ride some time ago as a reward for doing well at the end of middle school, I was excited. Despite being at that airport before, I never entered the transit area before. I didn't take any pictures then as we didn't have a decent working (digital) camera and we checked-in less than hour before it was due to depart. The security checks before entering the plane are not like what I have been through before. Mobile phones had to be switched off during the entire flight. The time between entering the plane and it taking off seemed to take forever. Maybe it's because it a whole new experience, or maybe it's this fear of something going during flight. After all, I have read reports involving airpla...

Sometimes, I don't know anything about myself. I hardly even know my own relatives. I don't even know how my parents met each other, but I do know that they went to different schools. I only see my cousins about once or twice a year and therefore know nothing or close. My grandparents on father's side (retired) are having financial issues like paying debts and wants my parents (not sure of my aunt/uncles) to provide them large sums of money. For my mother's side, they seemed to have passed away several years before I was born and know nothing about them, not even how they look like. Every morning, my parents turned on the radio to a station that I hate the most: not only is it on a religion that I don't practice, I don't even understand a word they are saying. On top of that, since I am sleepy, I would find it a headache to even hear it (it could be heard from the bathroom).

I have signed up to help to clean up the computer room that was largely unused for about half a year now as it was earlier partitioned from a larger area for something else. Looking at the number of people who signed up, it looks like I could be there about 4 times. I think that it could be the same as the room downstairs where it was converted from an unused computer room (with yellowish-white keyboard and those bulky monitors) to a music/dance room. I should also get started on my revision for my major exams, so I would probably won't be blogging as much for the next few days: for maths, I don't understand if acronyms are used , but if the full name is used instead I would. Examples are the names of molecules in the periodic table . As my parents keep giving me the same old boring food (not counting stuff like potato chips) with little change in years, I should be eating out more often, especially for the whole of September during the day. I should find an excuse with my ...

LOL! (^o^)丿 My other blog looks as though it's actually hosted at Wordpress , and this blog at a japanese blogging site but it's not! Anyways, you might have notice a search box that is fixed and floating at the bottom right. That feature came with the layout. For your info, I wont bother checking if my blogs look right in IE7 or earlier as those browsers are outdated and/or is well known for not following web standards since it overtook Netscape ages ago. Anyways, don't be surprised if you see posts earlier than May 2007 (especially 2001 and earlier), which is when this blog was created. These came from older posts from other blogs that are currently inactive and stuff that had been sitting in my mind for quite some time. (I was born on August 1989 by the way) Lately, the anime I have been watching has been reduce to just 4 out of the so many listed here . and the >14 episode series from the Spring season. 2 from Spring season (Code Geass R2: Leouch of the Rebelli...

As promised , I managed to catch the entire closing ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. First, there was an award ceremony of the 40KM (or so) men's marathon held earlier in the morning through the streets of Beijing. (Speaking of which, I notice that the gap during the race between each participant got larger around 20KM or an hour into the competition.), followed by the national anthem of the nation of the gold medalist (Kenya). Then there were great (but forgetful) performances by the Chinese. After that, the President of (People's Republic of) China made a speech, followed by the the IOC president. I have no idea what the Chinese president was saying or if the French part of the IOC president speech was different. Anyways, the English section talked about how successful the event was. Some time later, the athletes that took part (well, not all) came came streaming in. Then, they raise the flag of (People's Republic of) China. The IOC flag was alread...
