Chasing After Rainbows

At the end of school the following day, Hirano-san approached me and Saeko, looking uncomfortable. Hirano-san: "Kobayashi- san, Saeko" Sakeko: "What is it Aiko?" Hirano-san: "I know it might sound strange to you, but the director of your workplace my father would like you to visit..." (there was a deafening silence) Hirano-san: Visit yourself at the hospital today. And Kobayashi-san, he has something to tell you too. Me: Me? What does he want with me? Hirano-san: He didn't tell me, but you would find out soon. Oh, I would like to tag along with the both of you, but I have a tennis tournament match with another school today. So, if it doesn't drag on for too long, I might be able to drop by later on. Saeko: Erm, yeah. See you then. Saeko looked even more nervous. To get to the hospital, we took a bus from a bus stop just outside the school and traveled for quite some time before reaching it. I'm not familiar with this

Today is June 6, 2 days after the night when I suddenly found myself in the bathtub of my house. I could have sworn I was in class of February 4 just before that. I was wondering where my parents had went to until I saw a note in their bedroom saying something about a large amount of cash under their bed for me. I looked at the luggage bag counting it: it seems that someone had grabbed a small amount of it. I looked at my blog: there were no new entries since that date, but there was an unpublished draft dated 22 May. ......... Huh? I typed that? It says that I am unable to move and my childhood friend who is residing inside me is doing so? But I can do so normally with no difficulties.... I don't understand. I then viewed the blog of that friend of mine mentioned. ......... It says that I fell into a coma and has taken control of my body since 14 May, the day after he got into an accident. Strange part is that the post is dated 2 weeks after the incident and he even h

I opened up the original Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file of one of my drawings and saw what was in the following screenshot: (Background) Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 : Instead of the image, I see a very long list of codes. (Left) Google Chrome 0.3 : The black outline is very obvious. Bluring don't seem to work. (Center) Mozilla Firefox 3.0 : There is a rectungular box at a corner of it for some reason. (Right) Apple Safari 3.1 : The best among all the rest. Bluring don't seem to work too. All : My signature is missing (for IE7, it appeared as mojibake near the bottom) To fix the unwanted lines that appeared in the Chrome browser, I just need to select everything in the vector editor, except the outlines that are supposed to be there, and remove the colour used for the outline (labled as "stroke"). The problem is that vectors before v0015 , outlines are not seperated from the colour, so I used v0035  instead to remove stroke lines of non-outline parts that are

Since young, I had been exposed to a lot of language and pick up some of the things learned after seeing/hearing it repeatedly in certain situations. Frequency and interest plays a part in it too. Apart from the languages you would see me using , my parents, for reasons not mentioned, made me learn two other languages that I don't understand at all, rendering them useless to me. If you were to ask me in those languages now, I might have completely forgotten about it as it has been several years since I actually use them. But even back then, it might have been weak too. (I also find people asking me in another most of the time.) As mentioned back in June , the words I would use to write/type and speak are completely different. For example, I would write: With all their might, those exhausted children tried to prevent the incident from happening, but had failed to do so in the end. However, if I were to say the same thing out (unless saying the written text out), it would turn o

Wondering why one of my post has many views and how they got there, I searched for myself using "とらドラ OP 歌詞" (Toradora opening lyrics; words related to that post), and the results appear as below: (click on the image to go to the actual page I saw this in.) I checked the links before mine: some were recently removed videos (Niconico Douga) , some was just the reviews of the album it appeared it (wayohoo.com, but has links to 歌詞ばっかし.jp [no, seriously.the URL does not use Latin characters] that caused my Firefox browser to crash), while some actually have the audio with hidden lyrics, but appeared several days after mine (YouTube). So it seems that mine has more visible lyrics, with parts of it in a different colour to indicate the part used in the anime. I have also embedded a video from elsewhere alongside that of YouTube as the former is of better quality.

The best blog layout I have ever made! XD If you had been browsing through my blogs (especially this post ), you would notice that, despite having a lot of them, each one of them would have a different layout. Unlike most of my friends I know, I would pick a XML layout (difficult for beginners) and heavily modify it to the point that if you were to check where I got it from, it would look completely different. For example, the above screenshot is one of my first few attempts back in March/April this year to edit one of the default blogger XML layout of what you see on the left: Harbor. What I did then was to replace the image URL to figure out what each image is for and where and how it would appear. There are several reasons why I change. Some was because of the things that I had added/modified (espically the navigation menu), others are by the seasons, while the rest was because the previous was just a test, looked awful, or one of the default layouts. I have made changes to so many

Almost two weeks has passed since then. Kyousuke, one of my classmates, entered the class with a big smile on his face. He seems to be talking about something happy with his friends. When Haruna entered the the class, however, his happiness turned into depression when she said that she doesn't remember what happened two days earlier. She also seem to be unfamiliar with most of the classmates. When she saw me, she suddenly had a smile on the face and sat at an empty seat nearest to me (which is actually hers, but she thinks it's someone else's) and talked to me. What does she want? She normally doesn't even talk to me since she was released from hospital. Haruna talked to me about how she was in February 4 and now it's suddenly June 6. She also added that she had also seem to have suddenly gain knowledge that only her overseas childhood friend would know. I don't know if I should tell her the truth, but there things about myself in this dimension that I mysel
