Sunny Side Up

NaNoWriMo!

iheartbadtz:mymelody.com — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 06:02:22 +0000

I won! Hurray! Last count: 51,442 words.^_^

Actually, I haven’t finished the novel yet. I have about two chapters yet before the story ends (but that’s fine, as long as you reach 50,000, you’re already a winner. You don’t have to finish it.:P) and even then, my novel-writing doesn’t stop. I have to edit it, tweak and hack at the entire thing before it becomes even the least bit presentable (I can already think of parts that make me cringe, and I’m definitely developing the personality of the characters. Some of them seem too flat for me).:P Still, am proud of myself *pats back* I never thought I’d become obsessed with the calculator on all the PCs I use like I did.:P Great fun, and I can’t wait for next year.^_^ I have 12 months to think about a decent plot.XD

Lessons learned during NaNoWriMo:

1. Dialogues are lurv. I loved making my characters banter, even if it’s about the dumbest things.

2. Flashbacks can’t be used at all times. Alas, my favorite tool in my past writings wasn’t used.:( Still, I love using this, so I might use flashbacks next year.

3. Chocolates and coffee make a badtzy happy.XD Well, that actually works all year round, so it’s not just a NaNoWriMo thing.:P

Oh, and I watched “Twilight” over the weekend (not really by choice, but I had some friends who were obsessed with Edward, so…XD) Will let you know what I think of it tomorrow.XD

Last Three Days Before NaNoWriMo Ends…

And I still have three thousands words left to write. Gah.

I really wanna finish this. I don’t want to end up being only a few words short.

Write, I will! *nod, nod* After November ends, I will definitely get much-needed sleep.x_x

Oh, and lookie at the cool virtual kaleidoscope maker a friend gave me! I love this!

All you have to do is drag and drop stuff on to the circle on the left. I put in everything in what I made for the heck of it.XD

It’s so pretty!^_^

Horatio Caine One-Liners

iheartbadtz:mymelody.com — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 05:54:47 +0000

I think most of the people who’ve read my previous entries and my HKO guildmates know that I really, really don’t like Horatio Caine.x_x His character annoys me to death that at times, I wanna grab his Ray-Bans and stomp on them until they turn to powder. That’s why I laughed myself silly when I saw these videos:

Endless Caruso One Liners

Jim Carrey’s Horatio Caine Impression

CSI Miami Cast Copies Horatio

Rex Linn’s and Jonathan Togo’s are my favorites.XD Ragweed.

Now I *puts on sunglasses* have to leave.

*exit scene*

Random Pictures

Best concert I went to this year: Lifehouse. Jason Wade makes me melt. For me, he’s the guy with the best voice. Ever. Sorry for the blurry pictures, I only used my mobile phones to take these.

Fresh yoghurt.

Blueberry yoghurt, and…

Frozen strawberry yoghurt.

To be honest, I didn’t really like the taste.x_x Their fruit didn’t taste like it was ripe. It was sour and cloying at the same time. The frozen yoghurt itself tasted good though. Maybe if I buy from there again, I’ll just order it plain, without any toppings.

Had coffee with my friends. Can you guess which of the three is my order?

It’s the kiwi-strawberry one!

Updates

It’s finally come. This is the last week of NaNoWriMo, and I only need a little less than 7,000 to meet the 50,000 minimum. I think I’ll be able to make the deadline (unless something earthshaking happens), so yay. My only problem with the story is that a new character suddenly appeared out of thin air, and she’s demanding that she be given more airtime.x_x Bleh.

Oh, and I attended my first (and probably only :P) write-in, and I won a box of chocolates for writing the most number of words. Yay! I thought I wouldn’t be able to get anything since I was 30 minutes late (it started at 2 pm, I got there at 230), but I still won! Here’s what I got:

I’m not a fan of mint chocolate, but it tastes better than the black and white one, because the latter tasted like plain milk chocolate (both the black AND white).

Oh, one other thing: one of my best friends migrated to Canada yesterday.:( We accompanied her and her family to the airport. It’s sad, because we’ve known each other since I was four, and it’s weird knowing that we won’t be meeting again, at least, not anytime soon.:(

What Sense are You?

iheartbadtz:mymelody.com — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:48:10 +0000

And no, don’t say nonsense.x_x I’m talking about this quiz I took!

You are the Sense of Sight

You are a very observant, detail oriented person.
You are able to take in a lot of information at once.
You often see things that other people never notice.

You have a good eye for design and aesthetics.
You love to be surrounded by beauty - natural or not.
When you imagine how something should look, you see it clearly in your mind.

Which of the Five Senses Are You?

I kinda expected my result because of the answers I gave to the questions.:P

NaNoWriMo update: I just broke 30,000+ last night! Woohoo! 20,000 more words to go!

Boyzone’s Back

iheartbadtz:mymelody.com — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 06:04:52 +0000

Can’t help but giggle my head off when I saw this video.

Yep, it’s new.

Yep, they’re back.

Yep, it’s a new single.

Yep, they’re dancing.XD

I actually like it. The beat’s pretty catchy, too!^_^ Kinda reminds me of their “When the Going Gets Tough” song before the group split.

Teal Green

iheartbadtz:mymelody.com — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:13:31 +0000

You Are Teal Green

You are a one of a kind, original person. There’s no one even close to being like you.
Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible.
While you are a bit offbeat, you don’t scare people away with your quirks.
Your warm personality nicely counteracts and strange habits you may have.

What Color Green Are You?

Perfect result because of my font color, don’t you think?;)
