Alright! I finally got Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian yesterday!! And I finished it yesterday too. Its the best out of all the five. The Rachel thing is a bit out of the blue but still, it was pretty great!
And I type this from my new HP DV5 1102tu laptop which I bought a few dats back. I had stored 14 GB worth of stuff on it and then, on the very first day I started giving problems. It would boot just fine but wouldn't show the desktop. I tried just about everything and I was going to try removing the RAM and putting it back in but my dad insisted we go and get it fixed at the shop. I told that guy THRICE that I don't want to lose any data but oh he went right ahead and fixed it without backup. Basically the past two havent been very great. But still, I got it back fine and it works and everything. I had Percy Jackson.
Also, my CET exam got over on 12th after that I've been drawing like craaaazy. You can check out my drawings on My DeviantArt Account.
Oh if you're having the same problem with your laptop you can do this: shut down, switch on again press 11 as it boots and Advanced Setup -> Recovery -> Backup -> Start. There are loads more solutions on many other sites just check out google.
Anyway, I really must start watching Bleach. Apart from that, I've finished Fullmetal Alchemist, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHolic, Vampire Knight so far, till whichever chapter has been released. Currently I'm reading Death Note and watching FMA Brotherhood and Tears to Tiara. I'll be watching Gurrn Laggan on Animax starting tomorrow. Now I think I'll draw something nice. I have no idea what but I always end up drawing Yuuko so this time I'll refrain from doing that XD
Next time , then.

To hell and back again
It won't be a surprise to know that both my Maharashtra and Karnataka CET sucked. My dad's a great man really. He asks me today morning when I refused to go for counseling: why did you agree to give Karnataka CET in the first place? Like hell I did, I thought. He was the one that said, oh keep your options open. Damn options. I didn't want to piss him off more and that's the only reason why I agreed. Now he goes and gets pissed anyway. You don't make sense man!
Anyway, I had to go to my hometown to give the stupid exam. I hate that place. Their bathroom is tiny and there's never any electricity and oh, by the way, most of the things in the house belongs to us, why do you give us so much attitude? Unlike my mother, who loves grumbling about it all, I didn't really care. But a girl like me needs my morning milk. A nice big mug of it. The food: disgusting. I barely ate anything. Plenty of hygiene problems too. The water tasted... wow, you don't want to know.
And the centre of the exam. Dusty, hot, and everyone looked dazed as though they were going for a movie or something. The canteen was like a road side dhaba. Worse even than that. And I had to spend two hours in a stuffy underground room while I waited for my next paper to start. They called that place an "office". Really.
And I want to strangle the idiot who decided to release Percy Jackson 5 only in the US and UK on 5th May. I almost diiiiied.
And my computer's not better. Still useless piece of junk that does not deserve to be called a computer. And the worst part is, its all I have.
Anyway, it might not be completely hopeless. Might now, if my dad will spend a bit for us for a change. Today evening, hopefully, if nothing goes wrong and we don't draw out our swords and bare our fangs, we'll be going to check out some laptops.
Next post, I'll write about my anime and manga rush. *Yawn*

K'eye'd in
My eyes are f***ed. Bad. The amount of time I spend in front of my TV screen and my monitor is really surpassing the recommended limits. Not only that, it seems that I'll be giving the CET exam completely unprepared because other than heaps of screen-time there's also tonnes of sleep-time. It's all my life is about now. Yeah, I draw a little, go out for a bit but otherwise I'm pretty much jobless. I know I should do something creative with my time, in fact, I want to but the stupid exam is standing in my way: arms crossed and wriggling its shaggy eyebrows at me. God, please.
So only after the ordeal is over can I start with something. Dance classes? Art? Film? NIIT?
I'm not the kind of person who regrets something but I'm thinking I should have given the NIFT entrance exam. Plus, I desperately need a careen counseling session. Engineering is like a mountain which I'll take upon myself and be crushed to death by the end of those four years. What a waste of a life.
Actually my main problem is my greatest sin: Sloth. I thought it was Wrath, but now I'm sure its Sloth. Brains I have. Ability I have. Patience? No. Energy? No way. Do I even care? Nope. See my problem? And I've been so addicted to Anime.
The new season of Fullmetal Alchemist is airing on Animax. Plus I watch Tears to Tiara, God Save our king, xxxHolic. I finished watching Tsubasa Chronicles and even finished reading the manga so far. I know. I'm nuts. I just want this stupid study thing to end.
Sigh. Such is life then.

TV!!
Ok! So I'm FINALLY getting the Set Top Box for the paid channels. Its a bad thing actually, but then again, there's the internet too. It doesn't change much because I'd be watching all that anime anyway.
SO I'm in my anime mode right now. It all started out with me watching Fullmetal Alchemist, then on to Inuyasha, then Cardcaptor Sakura (after which I've become half a purist because I didn't want to watch the horrid, incomplete American version of it) and now I've finished watching the first season of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, seen a couple of the second. After I finish this post I shall watch the first few episodes of xxxHolic. I know. Crazy. I'll be getting glasses anytime soon. Does anyone know how to remedy that?
Also I finished reading the Inuyasha and Fullmetal Alchemist Manga.
From 4th of April the new Fullmetal Alchemist season will be aired in Japan, which will follow the manga storyline. SIX DAYS AFTER THAT, ANIMAX WILL AIR THEIR DUBBED VERSION ON THEIR CHANNEL IN INDIA ALSO. God bless them =D
So much addiction... Sigh. And there's so much I want to watch. Bleach, Naruto are must-watch anime shows. Oh well.
Apparently tomorrow some weird virus thingy will be on the net, so I'm not going to risk watching anything tomorrow (right) and watch ANIMAX!! HAHAHAAAAAA *evil laugh*
So, basically I'm content and also totally screwed because I have to study for CET which starts next month. Doom, again. STOP, PLEASE!!!
Arigatou for reading the post =D (50% purist see?)

Breathe...
Alright. Now for a proper post. The previous ones sounded like a school kid writing an essay about what he did for his summer vacations or something.
Well, the exams are over but I haven't exactly gotten real relief. Because of CET. Parents sure act weird, especially when it comes to academics. My father wants me to go for tuition which I abandoned a hundred million years ago (last August actually) and have already put it out of my mind. I thought I'll prepare for it on my own but nooooo he wants me to go all the way to that horribly depressing place and torture myself to no end. I mean, they have sample tests online too and I can manage those. I shouldn't even have joined the stupid thing in the first place. I mean, yeah Dad spent a lot of money on it, but alright fine. I'll return it someday man! Though I haven't told him that because if I did, I wouldn't be able to post anymore. You get the picture. Blood. Lots of blood. And warheads.
And both my parents want me to give Karnataka CET so I can stay with them for four years of engineering. I want to stay here, in Mumbai. To do that, I'll have to stay in a hostel and really slog but I'm so lazy, my parents think I won't be able to manage it. First thing, people: I don't even know if I want to do engineering! Second thing, who the hell cares? Mom is worried about me staying away from them, but that is the point people! I'm tired of staying with them. After a certain point, all teenagers want their own freedom and want to become independent enough to be able to live their own lives. I suppose, even if God appeared in front of them and told them to leave me alone, they wouldn't understand. Such is life, huh?
Plus, all their friends are telling them it'll be better for me to go there. Damn them! Who asked for your opinion anyway?
Moving on to more cheerful topics. I went out with two of my tuition friends yesterday. We went to Oxford first, where they had an 80% sale (probably on an old, unheard-of book, because I sure as hell didn't see any discount more than 30%) I bought Golem's Eye because that was the only book I was lacking in the Bartimeaus trilogy. Jonathan Stroud has a new book out too, I want to read that. Then, we went to Barista and had a fat, chocolate brownie (ymmm) and a tall frappe (each, silly). We were talking and laughing real loud and cracking silly jokes. No, we didn't care what other people said. Ha.
Then I went for Abracadabra night. The magician's english rocked (right). And we basically sat and did nothing till around 10 when the DJ session started. He was playing songs from the pre-historic age eg. Hips don't lie and Temperature. Pleeeease. But everyone else seemed to be enjoying themselves, so I and my friends just helped ourselves to some food and we hauled butt.
So that's what. I'll get back to watching Carcaptor Sakura and trying to tune out my mother breathing down my neck about cleaning my room. Shoo!!

Been a while...
Yeah I know it's been a while since I posted but that's because I've been busy with my exams. They got over yesterday and they were all kinda good. I guess.
So well, I and my friends went for "dinner" yesterday to IMSC. We basically hogged on junk food. Ice cream, black and french fries. I guess you can't go wrong with that!!!
And today I had to go to college to submit my stupid CET form. And then I went to the parlour and got my hair washed. They stank and looked heavily oiled and had enough dandruff to make dandruff-fall in my country. Ok no it wasn't that disgusting but like I said, I like to exaggerate.
I finished watching Inuyasha and even finished reading the manga. I must say, it ROCKED!!! I loved the ending and the way *spoiler* Naraku was killed. Now I'm watching Cardcaptor Sakura (Japanese, English subbed). I'm done with about 10 episodes. Actually I started watching like, a few seconds of Blood+ after I gave up on getting good quality English dubbed version of Cardcaptors but too much blood. Maybe once I'm done with it, I'll watch Blood+
Tomorrow I have to go get the Set Top Box form. Finally getting cable TV! And then there's a stupid "Abracadabra" night at IMSC followed by a DJ night so we'll go for that even though IMSC parties suck. Not like we have anything better to do.
My computer's not behaving much better either but I guess I have to live with it for now.
And my mom sleeps in the computer room at night these days so no more night TV for me... =(
Oh well that's it for now.
Later!

Exam time!!
Ok, so I gave my English paper yesterday. With English, you can't really tell how it went; it all depends on how the examiner will mark your answers. I think it was alright. A little lame, a little lengthy but alright.
And I have the worst of the worst coming up this week. So, cross my fingers!!
Well, otherwise there is not much going on. I have to watch the first movie of Inuyasha. So that's it. Until next time, goodbye!!
