Tonight I felt like leaving the leisures of being under the roof and trade it for the stars. Its a perfect night! I know I did this before and blogged about it, but everytime I do this, it takes my breath away. The reason I am doing this yet again is not only because its breezy and cool outside (it feels great by the way) but also because I have that undying urge to get away from being under that roof and under something more natural and undoubtedly beautiful.
I am just in love with the breeze. Usually I hate the wind, but tonight it makes me feel safe and vulnerable at the same time. I am trying to do this every night I can. Summer is whisking away, and is it me or do I feel fall creeping around the corner?
Either way the simplicity of being under the curtain of stars and the feeling of the wind brushing your hair and tickling your toes is remarkable.
This is a great time to think as well. It makes you think about whatever. Like that old thought you pushed behind your head. It's great.
Beautiful and simple. I the breeze is picking up now, and I love it! I love the sound of the trees leaves rustling around in the wind. This is probably one of my favorite pastimes in the world.

School is starting! And it feels sooo different!
Hello again! So, school is OFFICIALLY starting TOMORROW!!! I'm so uber excited! I haven't seen most of my friends in 3 months. That's pretty much a long time in my book! Anyways, there's this feeling you get when there's some kind of change occurring. You can't exactly put your finger to the exact words, but you know that there's something strange. A new vibe or feeling that you get. Kind of like when the season's change! (It feels like that right now actually. Despite the hot weather, I can feel in the air it's starting to shift into the fall matra)
Anyhow, that's what I'm feeling. Change is in the air, and I love it! The new feeling that runs through your mind and that chance to reinvent your surroundings. It's weird, but somehow it feels great. It's probably because I have had enough of summer itself. It was very fun, yet sometimes you can have too much fun. You've probably heard it, but it's quite true.
You've had your summer moments, and summer fun, now it's time for a new chapter and a new routine. That is greatly appreciated with me. It may be scary at first, but once you get used to it, you'll be happy. And usually I always look forward to that feeling deep down. Especially when Christmas is coming up! Haha, I love the whole Christmas vibe and cheer. And of course when it snows (which is totally rare here) at night (especially on Christmas Eve, which is also rare but it happens) there's that warm frilly feeling you get. It's hard to explain, but it's great. Even while you watch the snow in the dark night sky with a cup of hot chocolate and a warm bowl of soup. And with the Christmas tree of course! (Hehe I personally love the lights and ornamants)
Anyhow, before I get carried away with the Christmas cheer (ahhh) that's the point I'm trying to make. That feeling of change is all worthwhile. Even to some it's kind of a weird feeling, but they get used to it and start to really appreciate the whole idea that it's time to move on and make new memories, and always reminisce about the old ones.

What if you can change the world?
Recently I have been thinking about: what if you can change the world by simply doing small and simple stuff?
When the program 'Flipnote Hatena' came out on my Nintendo DSi shop, immediately I was brainstorming ideas for my next cartoon (and obviously got addicted to it. By the way, it's really fun!) when I came across an old thought. During the summer, a song by Nickelback inspired me to at least do something to make someone's day. In fact, maybe even change the perspective of the world a little bit and maybe do something beautiful. Although small, at least I will do something and leave a beautiful statement for the world to ponder on. Maybe even have people thinking, and to examine their own lives, relate to it, and maybe even help them through the toughest moments of their lives.
Through experiences and what I have read, I want to help somebody who maybe doesn't have a voice to speak up, but deep down inside need that desperate attention. I know I can't do that, but at least I want somebody to see something and maybe help them a little bit. Brighten their day, and have them smile through the storm, and know it's going to be okay. Even when things look bleak, at least they have the confidence to move on, or even to be happy with the situation and learn from it.
Remember from a previous blog post, how I said there was a book called 'A Lifetime of Secrets'? Well there was a secret (well it's not really a secret) that I related to. It said 'I wish I can help make the pain and hurt go away from all of those who have pain. Just know that you have a friend, and even if we never meet, just know you aren't alone'. It went something like that.
So when the flipnote program came out and that old thought burst through my brain like a trampling dinosaur, I was overshadowed with ideas. Then I came up with a simple cartoon that shows various kinds of messages that I wanted to share to the world, and maybe inspire people as well.
I posted the comic on Hatena's website (they have this website you can log onto on the DSi and comment and share with other users) and immediately I got comments from various types of people. One really touched my heart it said:
'Wow that message just got me through the worst time of my life. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart'- BlackRose<3 (there's a heart icon, but that's the best I can do right now)
I immediately felt a rush of happiness. It makes me happy to make someone else happy, especially if they are going through something diffucult. Some people usually don't have that support system, and I am happy that I can at least be part of that. Even though it's a short little flipnote, it's great to see such impact it could have. (Just goes to show that even the smallest things in life can make such a huge effect in the world)
(If you want to check out my flipnote that I was talking about, it's on this blog. It's at the top!)
Hope that you all have the awesomest of the awesomest of the days. And remember, when it's a rainy day, don't be glum. Dance through the rain and make the best of it.

Pon & Zi: The cutest emo comic characters that touch your heart
There are these two characters called Pon and Zi that seriously are the cutest little dears in the world. They are originally created by Azuphre (I am betting that's his nickname lolz) and immediately I fell in love with his little sketches. (*Note: If you want to see some, there are a few posted on my blog. Just scroll down all the way to the bottom and the first two you see are Pon and Zi)
Heres a little information of Pon and Zi...
Pon is the yellow character. He/she ('there is no specific gender' states a website, but there is one comic that makes Pon seem like the boy since it says, 'You should meet my girlfriend, I bet she can teach you how to be pretty' to a flower... But you may never know) Pon is the more sensitive and the one who is the most sweetest. You can really relate to him more than Zi.
Zi is the blue character. He/she is more of the quirky, sarcastic, funny, and random type. There's this one comic (and of course my favorite) where it says 'I may not look like much, but I am a pro at pretending to be a ninja'. Still, it's really cute :)
The comics are mainly really the cutest little comics ever. It varies from humor and randomness, to personal struggles of love. Pon is mainly the one who's in the sensitive, vulnerable, love, sadness comics, while Zi is more in the zany outgoing comics.
I think that you can really relate to many of the pictures and their meanings.
The art itself is really cute as well! I think that they're both really cute, my mom says otherwise, but I still think they're cute.
Actually my friend Dusty saw one comic and there was a 'Sasauge Kitty' in it! (It was the one that says 'No matter how much I practice, I can't make drawings of you pretty enough') and there was a fat cat on top of Pon. It was HILARIOUS! He went on about it throughout math class... :D
Well I hope you all check it out, it's really awesome :)

Looking Through the Past
Okay, just a minute ago I finished writing in my diary and out of curiousity, I read my past entries, and the tendency to find my old diaries overtook me. So I did so, and personally I am very shocked at how much memories that I hold (most of which made me laugh) and I am as shocked mainly because of the great deal of growing and the intellect that I have come to collect. Everything from the past brought me here to where I am and I am just quite intrigued by that idea.
I am aware that the past and present determines your future but seriously, after overlooking all those entries, it's really interesting how much of everything came to be.
And I just have to laugh as well at my questions I asked myself. I know the answer to most of those questions. It's so crazy!
It's funny and quite something just knowing how mch you have matured in the past 13 years, even in the past months.
And you know what? Whatever happens in the past and present, both good and bad, (hopefully good mostly) I am happy of the outcome. Even though life isn't perfect, I wouldn't change my life for another because mine rocks my flip-flops off!
There's this book actually, called 'A Lifetime of Secrets' (haha thanks DJ for telling me about it) and it's filled with postcards that has secrets and sometimes advice from people of all ages sent in anonymously, and it's really good. Some secrets I can relate to or even take to heart and it becomes part of me. The secret that suits this post has to be this one:
"The most important thingI realised lately is that painful break-ups, unrequited love, cruddy jobs, and the like to help us to BUILD CHARACTER and no matter how bad itfeels, we are much better off because of it."
I learned so much from that secret/advice :D
whoever that is, thank ya for sending that in lol!!
Well yeah, take care my fellow bloggers!
