Finally, all hard work and blood-sweating is done. Harana has passed! Now I can finally rest in...well, peace. I've been bumped with yet another disease lately, and it was a grave one.

Dengue Fever Stage Two.

It might not sound as grave as it is, but I alone was confined in the hospital, and was killed by boredom for FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS. They even put me in a ward! How hellish can that be?! I mean, boredom alone can be nullifying, but being stuck with barnacle-heads? That is so...frustrating!

One: EMO: His cellphone is rigged with tons of EMO songs that I totally refuse to listen. Even in the middle of the night, it's still alive and ringing. I was so mad at him, that I'd shoot an arrow at his phone.

Two: NEAT-FREAK: It's not really annoying, but it got on my nerve. She was cleaning up EVERYWHERE, even the beds of OTHER PATIENTS! Dammit, I was so friggin' annoyed at her.

Three: MEGAMOUTH: Not only this, is the most annoying to everyone, this person happens to be a senior citizen! I mean, he's sixty plus, and I'm only fifteen, but I know discipline. He doesn't. If he did, how come he snores so loud, talks so loud and munches so loud, everybody in the room could hear it but him?

That's the problem with wards. You get to be stuck with all sorts of hopeless persons. Simply annoying and disturbing.

Anyway, after my confinement (at my own house and at the hospital for a week), I resumed classes last Monday. Oh my god, 'twas the day of the NCAE! I wasn't surprised, rather, they were. They never thought I would show up on such a short (well, rather, long) notice. My performance then was good, but I'll hope for a better result than my CSAT.

The last few days were my returning days...preparing for the previously forthcoming Harana. The preparation was heavy and not to mention, money-burning. Though it seemed impossible for me to cope up, there were so much changes that happened during the practice week...so, I've learned the dance steps, re-learned my role, and re-learned our serenading song. After all of those practices, there was only one thing we have to test it on: in front of the judges themselves.

There was a final practice in our Audio-Visual Room, so the space was bigger than our own place. Alas, we are finally ready for our presentation. Then came 1300 hours. My heart is racing. I'm sweating even though the air blows cold. I can already feel the shame of performing live in front of 2000 people. It was definitely mind-and-heart-breaking. But to my amazement, I didn't feel anything embarrassing in front, rather, I felt alive and jolly. Pretty ironic, ne?

The last few days were also my time to watch Zero no Tsukaima (The Familiar of Zero), a newly released anime. I must say, it's good...no...ABSOLUTELY GOOD! Hilarious and very romantic...simply amusing. Plus, the openings and endings are absolutely good. Gotta love all of them. Unfortunately, episodes available are only up to the 21st (8th of Season 2). So, I'll have to wait until the airing on Japan is finished; because Zero II just started airing last July. Nonetheless, all of it is cool!

I also looked for the OP/EDs on the net. And luckily, I found not one, but ALL of them, including the whole Zero soundtrack on eSnips. Thank God, you let them invent Internet.


I'll change my header ASAP; of course, with Valliére-dono in the front. Heehee. Zero Fever.
