My bass broke

I'm really pissed off because my bass suddenly breaks on me. I'm not too sure if its my bass or my amp but after researching thoroughly, my bass guitar is most likely the victim. I also borrowed an extra cable from a friend to make sure it is not my cable that has a difference. Now the problem is, whenever I on the amp with my bass plugged in, it starts to make this really loud buzzing noise and the pickups can't detect any sound.

I showed this to my dad last night and he is assuming it is the amp. My brother also agreed with him. Now I have to go to my friend's house to get my amp tested to see if that really is the problem. The good news is that, if it really is broken, my dad COULD buy me a better one. I really need this because we might gig soon so yeah. FUUUUUUUUUU....

Kannagi



Kannagi is a 13 episode series about a goddess popping out of nowhere to a normal guy that lives by himself. This plot is very common but the OP of Kannagi made me interested and gave it a shot. I'm glad that I took this up.

I just finished watching this anime a few days ago. I have to say that I really enjoyed watching Kannagi. It had drama, romance, and importantly comedy. There are so many memorable scenes that I laughed my ass off. I'm saying this like its a big thing because normally, I don't really laugh hard in most comedy-themed animes. I usually just chuckle and smile. But Kannagi was something different and I literally laughed until tears came out of my eyes.

What I love about Kannagi so much is how the animations are drawn. I'm not a big otaku and I don't know who the art director is for this series. I don't even know if its just me that really loves the fluid animations. Something about the drawings of Kannagi made me want to watch it more.
Another thing that I enjoyed is the supporting cast. The supporting characters have some of the best lines and it was really enjoyable. They gave more life to the show.

Kannagi was very fun to watch and for sure, it has a spot on my top favorites. I'm also betting that there's gonna be a Season 2 because I feel like the story is not quite done yet. Even my friend Eros thinks that but whatever. I just hope that there will be a Season 2 and it'll be funny as the first.

Parents gone

So tomorrow, my parents are going somewhere, most likely Reno, for a business trip. That means that they'll be gone Friday and the rest of the weekend. The only people in the house are going to be my brother and me. Here are my plans. (Not in order)

1.)Sleep when I come home from school
2.)Play Xbox 360
3.)Stay up all night watching anime
4.)Sleep at 5A.M. every night
5.)Vacuum the house
6.)Talk to a friend on the phone until we pass out. (?)
7.)Sleepover at friend's place

I would probably be doing more but I just wrote down some important things that I am really looking forward for.

Byebye Spring Break

Okay, so this is the last day of spring break. I'm kind of on the happy side and a little bit miserable. I'm happy because I'm so bored of staying in the house and not doing anything productive. I would rather go to school and be with my friends. Miserable because I'm going to miss talking on the phone and sleeping at 3A.M. I'm also going to miss waking up late.

So last night, me and my buddies, Eros and Chris, planned to play guitars and hang out tomorrow. Sadly, Eros lives kind of far and buses are a bitch to ride. I have to agree with him. He has to take like 2-3 buses and has to wait around 30-40 minutes. We have school the next day so I don't blame him. He would be dead tired. So, we ended up just installing Team Fortress 2 and hopefully I get to solve this HL2.exe is not responding. I've been trying to fix this for a long time but sadly, it was all fail.

This is day is going to be busy for me. I have to wash dishes, cook rice, vacuum, and do the laundry. I'm feeling lazy already just thinking about it. School tomorrow and I'm glad I finished my English essay and my French homework over the break.



Recently, Eros showed me a good anime. I'm hooked on "Kannagi." This anime has an interesting story, funny, and I also like how it is animated and drawn. It's very fluid and smooth.

The Library and Saying No

Today, I've discovered the greatest place to study, THE LIBRARY(OMG I KNOW RIGHT). I was planning to go with a friend but too bad she couldn't make it. I had to go alone. I'm actually glad that I went alone because I got a lot of homework done. Just sitting there doing homework for three hours straight also made me relax for some reason. There's also no distractions and I can just do my work while listening to my Ipod. The atmosphere in the library is so calming and just makes me feel relaxed even though there's so much paper in front of me. I'm planning to go to the library whenever I have so much to do. Hopefully with somebody next time.

Yesterday, one of my friends on AIM messaged me asking for advice. Apparently some dude likes her and she needed advice on how to say "No" nicely. I got kind of annoyed at this because you can't say "No" nicely to another person in my opinion. The unfortunate person will get hurt no matter what. It is unavoidable. Of course, saying it nicely would lessen the pain a little but the "hurt" is still there. Hearing the phrase "I see you more as a friend" is hurtful enough. So please, there's no such thing as rejecting a person nicely.

But hey, I was a good friend and told her a nice way to say no.

Fingers are starting to hurt

We didn't get to go to Guitar Center today because of Eros being sick. I just hope he feels better so that he's spring break isn't ruined. I've been practicing Hysteria by Muse lately and it is a b**** to learn. Seriously, my fingers have been getting a good workout and the pain from when I first started playing bass is coming back. Today, me and Eros went to Chris' house to play and learn some new songs. I also got to try this 1k bass and this giant amp that Chris' dad borrowed. I didn't like the bass personally, due to the fact that it is so heavy. I like the sound that it makes though.

I'm kind of stressing because the drummer that I asked to play with us this April 26 isn't responding to my messages. We need him ASAP to practice for spring break... /sigh

0% chance. Now I know how it feels like

Last night was, how should i say this, interesting? I don't even know how my conversation with her turned out to be like that. Now I know what it feels like to be turned down with no chance at all. In the past few days, even though she rejected me, I thought I at least have somewhat of a chance with her. But last night just made me feel "What the Fuck. Let's call her "M"

On Thursday, me, her , and two other friends went out to eat after school. That day was really fun and all of us laughed really hard. Now the awkward part came. Our two other friends still wanted to hang out and told us they wanted to go to school. "M" wanted to go home and I felt bad that she was going alone, so I went to the bus stop with her. Those 6 minutes were really awkward. It was so quiet and it felt like we don't know each other that well. It felt like we never had those awesome conversations on the phone. I don't get it. When on the phone, we talk for about 3 hours. Then when we meet in person, we don't get to go in conversation that much.

The phone call with "M" made me realize how dumb I am. She told me what I did wrong and how my confession was OFF-TIMING. She started to say all those things which, of course hurt me, but I needed to hear this from her. She told me that I really don't have any chance with her. She was finally being straight up with me. OK I'm really dumb. She told me how when we first met, I would joke around with her that we're boyfriend and girlfriend and that she would play along. This was going on for about a month or so. Then I started to feel something for her. I did this because I thought that she would just be a buddy, but i guessed wrong.

Knowing now the whole story, I don't have anything to look forward to when it comes to going to school. We're still best buddies but mehh, whatever.

BTW SPRING BREAKKKKK. STREET FIGHTER MODE

APRIL

This day was cold and horrible. I had the colds, i coughed a lot, and had a headache at the same time. My stomach started to hurt during lunch. Oh what fun. Bad day to start off April. Nobody had the April Fool's spirit. Well I would understand, people nowadays lost their sense of humor. But that really didn't bother me. So I'm up kind of late doing my French homework which was give last week. This is what I get for procrastinating a lot. Nothing much to look forward to except going to the swim meet with my friends tomorrow after school and spring break is next week. Finally, I just want to relax and not think about school. So yeah, i need to get back to my French homework and finish this before my Mom wakes up haha.
