Well I improved a little.... Managed to get up at 10 and then found out everyone was going shopping. And I don't mean the interesting kind (ie. grocery) nope they went clothes shopping and asked if I wanted to come along. BORING. So I got to crash at home doing nothing but playing games on the couch hell yes :) It was nice, peace and quiet until about 5:30 when everyone came home ^^ Oh and I think I've played a little too much as every time I get up I get a slight dizzy spell and that funny thing happens where you can't see for a bit and then your vision returns. Weird.

So now let's add some pictures! Can't wait for this in January:

OMG honestly I'm really excited right now because I found a way to play some routes in the JP version of KOR for free. It will be a good way for me to practice my japanese before they release it in the english version since that takes a while because naturally, translating takes a while (and they also have many other games to translate). I honestly wish I could read japanese more fluently since they always get the updates months beforehand!

Anyway look it's so pretty:
 It's definitely my favourite app of theirs (though MFW holds a special place in my heart) since I love the plot and the layout. Except they changed the app icon to the character's face x_x I don't know why'd they'd do that but they changed it to this:


 Luckily the JP version's icon is still this which is much prettier in my opinion ^^:


My account is now down to a measly $8 OTL  ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇ﹏இﾟ)ﾟ｡

The only other game I wish I could play right now is LLFTX since that crew is pretty sassy and hilarious

Oh dear it's already Christmas Eve. And tomorrow we are supposedly going to parents' friend's house for Christmas which I'm not looking forward to since there's a lot of people and I don't know any of those kids so I'm going to be extremely bored.

Anyway, I always feel a bit iffy when it comes to this time of year (Christmas and New Year), maybe because it makes me feel that another year has gone by? So it's a little sad. Oh and I have to say that I really dislike two things about christmas time. One, they start playing all these christmas-y shows on TV and simpsons goes completely AWOL so I have nothing to watch. The other thing is that the constant christmas carols playing in shopping centres from early November really annoys me because it's too repetitive? I don't know. And now you guys will call me anti-christmas x_x

I guess another thing that makes me feel a little down on Christmas is because our family doesn't really do anything. And I'm honestly not complaining because I don't even have any idea of what I DO want to do. What makes me feel guilty is every year dad is like "what do you want for christmas?" but there's nothing I want so he always gives me money despite my protests @_@ So this year christmas is just another day again but I hope you guys enjoy yours!

This is about as much as I will get into the christmas vibe lol:

Oh dear last night went to bed at 2 and got up at 8 and now I'm dead tired at 11 which means I'll fall asleep soon without being able to play until 2 :(

Also getting a little sad because I'm getting random patches of rashes again. Not just a couple, but MULTIPLE. And I haven't even eaten anything wrong so I don't know why I have them. Please go away T_T

I'm so mad, I don't know why I even bothered. I already knew they were going to be utterly useless. So today I brought my phone to the genius bar and told the guy that my battery must be dying since when I go to sleep on 100%, I wake up and it is only 28% which is NOT NORMAL.

What do they do? They run their pathetic "diagnostic" tool, tell me my battery is running at 95% of its original capacity which is still "quite good" and then tell me it's normal for people with iphones to have to charge everyday. Oh excuse me, I didn't realise that when previously, I only charged every 2-3 days and now I have to charge twice a day is something NORMAL. I told him over and over that this is ridiculous and that there has to be something wrong, especially when my phone shows that from 100% to 1%, the usage was only 18 hours on standby and 2 on actual usage, giving a total of 20 hours which is LESS than a day.

How the hell is that normal. I'm so pissed, how can you tell me that my phone is "normal" when it clearly isn't. I don't care what your tool says, why don't you look at the facts. The fact IS I now have to charge both in the morning and night - twice a day. RIDICULOUS. Why? I have to charge in the morning since it spends all night draining, and I have to charge at night otherwise it will drain a few hours into my sleep and then no battery to keep my phone alive as my alarm for the morning.

Ugh. Useless. Why does this always happen. All I want to know is what happened to my phone. It was fine all week and then suddenly one day POOF it just drains like crazy. Why does this always happen to me, I've had my phone for less than a year and it's already like this. Makes me wonder how people still have iphone 4's or even 3G's since those are a few years old.

Even if it seems petty, I'm really upset. It's because to me, my phone isn't a phone. It's my "gaming platform" for my apps so if the battery completely drains on standby in 18 hours, then I bet playing for one hour will drain it completely. Pathetic.

Stupid apple, you've now been added to my list of places to utterly destroy. Oh and guess what? They pulled the classic line of: "Oh if you update to the newest iOS, I'm sure it will be solved." PISS OFF I don't want to update to your shoddy iOS it's not going to fix my problem since it was fine until a few days ago and I've heard your new iOS is even worse.

Want to work at apple? I swear the requirement to do so is just to learn the line: "install the new iOS and your problem will be solved!"

Freaking apple.

Whew, 10 days went by so quickly but at the same time it feels like it's been quite some time since I was home. Arrived back in Sydney at 7:30am but didn't get home until about 9:30 since mum first had to stop by at work. Didn't sleep too well on the plane but I never do and I can't sleep during the day. Tried to stay awake since there was so much I wanted to do like catch up on internet stuff in general, maybe play some games but I was dead tired by 2pm and then I fell asleep until 6 :/

I think for a few days at least I will be sleeping early due to my body crashing. This usually happens after any trip that I go on. It's also probably because while I was in Japan I slept at like 2 everyday and got up at 7:30 which is something I could never pull off during holidays here.

Anyway night and hopefully I'll put up something interesting tomorrow!

Ugh waking up and realising it's another day is just a pure nightmare. And to that family out there who tried to  ruin my trip two days before it, and even on the day before it, how DARE YOU complain to me about it being a headache because YOU'RE THE ONE who said it was okay then you expect to screw it up at the last minute and for it to be okay.

If anyone has the right to complain it's ME because I spent HOURS figuring everything, booking everything and for my work to just be undone like that? And you're the one who did nothing, I actually did everything so I don't see why you're allowed to complain about this bloody "headache." The fact that you have to fix it now on your end, you know what? I'm not even sorry in the least. You screwed up, it's your problem. I don't see why you don't realise YOU brought this problem up. Even so, I still have to redo my own rearrangements so screw you.

Yesterday I may have been upset and annoyed, but that's because I'm stupid and weak. But today, all I feel is pure anger. I can't help it. And to my mum who says "don't be stupid, there's no point being angry, just fix it" oh I didn't realise it was that simple. Just wait there while I switch off this "emotions button." Oh and while we're at it? How about the next time annoying guests come to our house and you guys practically have a conversation at decibel levels equivalent to screaming even though you're in the same room, how about I just shove them out of the house? You'll be angry with me right? Well to that I say "don't be stupid, there's no point being angry." Yeah exactly.

You all better hope that when I get there I'm struck with utter awe and wonder because あなたのこと絶対許せない。I'm never forgiving you all for this absolute screw up.

And to all these people (relatives and parents' friends - they're certainly not my friends) who give me slack about learning Japanese instead of chinese, what the hell is your problem? I've tried learning chinese countless times but in the end I always end up quitting because it's not my interest. If I can communicate with you, I think that's enough, I don't want to be writing bloody essays. And who are you to stick your nose into my business? What the hell is so wrong about wanting to do something I like?

And if you oppose this trip too, well screw you. Literally every two years I go back to China, and I have to stay there for more than a month every time. And it's never for sightseeing, it's to see all our relatives. I would be lying if I said I wasn't bored out of my mind. The last time I went (summer of 2011) I spent everyday wanting to go home. So how dare you say I shouldn't be going to Japan when I haven't even been there, and for once this is an actual holiday for me and not a relatives visiting trip. And just you know, I'm funding this trip on my own, out of my savings I made from 4 years of working. So shut the freaking hell up.

All was going well today and then something freaking happened (not JLPT related) and now sorry for lack of better words but freaking s*** happened.

Going to be another night of restless sleep and I bet I'm going to wake up with the ugliest puffiest freaking face and eyes ever, that's going to make taking out my contacts super fun.

Sometimes deep down I wonder why I was ever allowed to be alive.

(Super sorry I couldn't post something more bright today, it just really hasn't been a good day)
