Manga Fox: Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa Manga Series

 

Manga Fox: Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa Manga Series

I just finished this manga. It's a long one, but it doesn't have any dead spots in it. I really like it. The last 9 or so chapters weren't scanned all that great, but it didn't really start to take away from the story until the last 6 pages, but by then you don't care and just enjoy how it ends.

Well it's been decided that I'm going to really start college this year after all.

Other than that, I'm going to see if I can find a little job to help out, but if not then I do something. I'll see.

Other than not, nothing much. I've been released more or less, and home in pain. I'm fine.. in about 6 more days I'll be right as rain can be.

Well see ya. I'm off to read another story.

One of these days I'll make a little list of the mangas I've read. Most of them will be the good ones, but I may talk about one or two that I came across that weren't that good for me at all.

In case anyone out there has "1000 Years, I Love". Can you send me the zip of the manga? Please??? :)

Past Snow Days for the Year.

I thought that I had another pictures of that day's snow fall. At the end of my day it was much higher in some places. I guess I was too cold and just took a mental picture instead.

The last time it snowed nothing stayed on the ground. It melted as it hit the ground. Check the pics out for your self.

But on that day mom made soup. Cow foot soup. I got pics of that too. Put I'll just put one up. Oh, for those of you who have had cow foot soup, I will admit that this is isn't how it's found at home. But it's not bad this way either.

There are dumplings in there some where. You see some cassava I think. Some other root vegetables and you can't miss the corn on the cob. And there is the bone from attached to some part of foot of the cow. This stuff is great for thickening soups.

Just realized that it's 4am. I'm going to bed.

See ya.

V-day and White Day... ?

Valentine's didn't meet me on a good note.

I'm running away from my new real estate job. I don't know what is wrong. I've been talking myself in ad out of staying since Tuesday night. I took a few days off to think everything over. But every time I think that I've come up with a good reason for staying, I get this unexplainable panic attack. On Tuesday morning I was so sick that I thought that I was going to throw up when I went inside to start my day.

So I've come to the conclusion that I can't go back. At least not yet. I'm going to tell them that I'm one medical leave. They can choose whether or not to terminate me, and they have my address so they send my bill to that address.

Normally when I leave a job, I always wonder and worry about people and things that I'm leaving behind. I don't for this one. I think it might have to do with the fact that I wasn't there that long. It felt like I've been there a bit longer with all the "training" time I put in and the week of classes some to want to fall into that also.

Other than that.

I picked up Nika from school because she was late in coming home from school. It seems that they decided to hold some of them back in school today. Someone had to come and pick her up. It would be nice if we were told about this before hand. She went to see the stage show "Sesame Street". She had fun.When we got home we watched "A Bee Movie". I liked half the movie.

A few hours before the end of v-day I made two wallpapers for the occasion from a manga I'm reading right now called W-Juliet.

A "little girl" told me about this place and I picked this story about 3 days ago or so to read. They have tons of mangas there to read.

Well I'll go post those pics that I took on Tuesday. It really snowed that day, and I got something of progress pics for the day. 

See ya.

PS... the manga they are talking about at the end of that pic is W-Juliet. If you have or when you read a good translated manga, and it spans though Feb 14th and March 14th you will hear or be told about White Day.

Just A Note Before Bed...

I'll try to make this short.

I'm back to work tomorrow. I need to remember what my last posts are about for when I start a new one.

Either which way. This is mostly due to Joel. No, he did not buy me a metro card, (my mom did that) but he does seem to like me enough that he wants me to work mainly with him and he got the owner/Broker to go go along with it. So I'll be in "special training" starting more or less tomorrow for two weeks.

I get to talk to land lords and help in the listing of apartments. I then get to show and rent out those apartments. I get a little extra training and Joel will be the one training me. It seems I did a really good job on that call list that he gave me, so now he wants to own me.

How can a girl say no to being wanted? :)

Well I got the other guy to sign the paper for me, so I'll be doing that around the middle of the day. Then I'm back to the office until who knows when.

Thanks to Joel and going in today, makes me want to do it again. I saw everyone and saw people I was starting to like running by and saying hi was nice.

This is why I say that I'm no good at change.

On the outside you just see me doing one thing, but in my head I've already jumped off a few roofs over a few issues.

The only things left that are bugging me, as small as they are, is the getting of a new chair for the computer desk. We more or less broke the one that was here and now we keep moving the last good chair in the apt back and forth between the kitchen and the bedroom. The next one being my bit torrent down loader. I don't know what gives. It seemed to have decided to not want to work as good as I've seen it work before.

In other news, got around to posting my wallpapers a few days late. I didn't remember until Tuesday night, and I didn't post them until this morning around 6am. I don't know why I was up that early other than I felt like reading on line and couldn't stop. I need to find a good book so I can fall asleep in bed.

I also made a few wallpapers between the start and the end of my search for wallpaper for my club. I posted them over at deviantart. The link is over there on that side of the blog.

Well take care.

*** just thinking as I get ready to publish this... I'm glad I still have this job as a solid option. I still get to take the time off I want to go see my friends. :)

Entries for an art contest at the Hirshorn Modern Art Gallery in DC. The rule was that the artist could use only one sheet of paper.

This one is also brought to you by my friend Misty. She sent me a bunch of pictures, and today I decided to see if there was a proper site for them. I was first just going to make my own gallery for them, then I thought about seeing if anyone had already done it for me. *grin*

Today I'm not going into the office for a number of reasons. One of them being that this is going to be my last weekend being free.

I got the results of my state exam. I passed. I sent out text messages when I found out, and the next day I stayed for the whole day up until 8pm. Went out with a agent who I helped to get ready for the appointment by looking for apartments and calling out for keys, and we were out for about 4 hours showing 2 places. Then when I got back I helped a listing agent call land lords about new listings for an hour and half. I then got the pictures that I took on the appointment with the first agent to someone who could post them along with the listing that didn't have any pictures in the data base.

It's amazing how you can be so happy about something then have someone bring you down. This is another reason why I didn't go in today. Yesterday I was upstairs at work helping the first agent by calling some land lords to find out about getting a key to see an apartment and I was paged to come down stairs. Ok. I dropped everything and went. I was then pulled into a room to go over something that I had already done. And it wasn't like I was doing it with the same people over again to just say it was a bush up of something. No. I was with new people. I'm thinking that I had already done this. Why was I here? But fine, he wants me to go though this again. I'll just sit here and go though this again. It's not like I could say that I remembered everything he said that day. Then he was pulled out for something. They get pulled every where, every time. I was there less then 2 mins when he was pulled out, so I was still feeling like I shouldn't be here upstairs, but thinking of going along with it non the less. One of the girls in there was a new friend of mine, and she asked why I looked so "thrilled" to be there. I told her that I already did this.

Then he came back in as another girl said that I should tell him since they are so busy and might have forgotten. I wasn't planning on saying anything, but he asked the girl what she was talking about, then asked me what I should tell him. I told him, and he got upset with me.

He said that this is the second time that this has happened. At first I hadn't a clue what he was talking about, but I started to feel bad. He said that he doesn't know what it was, if our personalities weren't matching or something else. Mostly I heard, you don't act like you want to be here. You don't do anything and I'm trying to include you in stuff and get you ready for when you get your licence. I told him that I was upstairs calling land lords for an agent when I was paged to come down there. I dropped everything to come. He then said to leave and go back to that, and even opened the door for me.

The before thing that he was talking about, was back on Wednesday when I was talking to that first girl about what the new cheer was that he came up with. It was in a morning group meeting and he asked everyone if they knew about the cheer. She didn't know and I was telling her, and I said that it would have been nicer if they took off this one piece. Then he once again asked me what was said. It's like he's picking on me. Then to my dismay, it mutated in front of my eyes. Before I knew it I was being asked if I was a lump on a log when everyone else was jumping around cheering? I had to clearly state that I wasn't opposed to the cheer, I would not have come up with, but I'm not against it. I would just have liked it if one word was taken out. I was still left as the girl who was against team work, because that is what the cheer was mostly for. To help promote teamwork.

I think I depressed myself again, but I'm still very proud of myself for passing the state exam.

Would going back on a personal promise be considered as giving up when you were disillusioned about what you getting into in the first place?
