So... Kine in Aqua will officially become the full out website mode in March 8th... hopefully.
In case you haven't visited the website some time ago... the current "empty looking" website
is sorta... what you would call a dormant version... It's basically what you put up that functions before
getting the full blown out designs ready.

Kine's birthday is on the 8th... <-notices that the calendar on the wall says February... (I should go change it)
I'm not sure what to send her. I haven't really sent her anything on her bday till now... mostly because I forget until
day of... and then it's sorta too late to order her anything since I'm in the US and she's in Korea... and sending
takes a long time unless I have lots of money to burn... which I don't.

My fall back option is delicious rice cakes...(I can order it online and have a Korean company ship it to her)
although... everytime I do order rice cakes online for someone... I want to cry cause I can't have them...
(they won't ship overseas... for obvious reasons and rice cake in the US don't taste quite right unless you get
 it from a store in an asian town or something... anyhow if anyone has a better suggestion for a last minute bday gift,
feel free to comment.  

I'm going to be translating a ninja turtles comic <bodycount>
from English to Korean... I haven't received the book yet, but I did get
to skim through it at the APPLE COMIC company (Korean art book/comic company)

Casey: "No one calls me mister and gets away with it"

Normally, I won't have any issue with the line.

But since I have to translate it... I can't help but wonder...

.... exactly why is it (calling a guy, mister) an insult?

hmm....

ps. Kine in Aqua international orders will start Feb. 10th.

I don't want to post the images right here on livejournal since it has no protection against
wrongful stealing... so check out the new "Spades" suit of Reborn!

* It may take a long time load. Korea has really fast internet... so the blog doesn't accomodate
us with slow internet very well....*

The last image of Ciel (Joker) of Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) is a present if you buy all 13 cards.
 
This will be available for international orders mind January - end of January.

In case you are not familiar with the drill, we take orders for 2 weeks and then close till next time.

Random Revelation:

Eating pickles on an empty stomach will make you sick...
*groans* <-but keeps eating it

Kine in Aqua schedule:
We'll probably start taking the international orders again in either December or January.
But probably mid to end of January since that's when I will be back from Korea. 

Possible new items include:
Playing cards (aka poker cards) - probably one suit (so one of hearts, spades, clovers or diamonds
2009 Calendar? <-this might get pushed to february or March... but Kine's calendars start in March
so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.


 

Okay... maybe the title sounds bigger than it is...

I'll be voting tomorrow at the UT campus as early voting... as I realized if I miss this
time and go for the regular one... I have to take the bus to this unknown place...
(I'm sure it's a known place... it's just that... I don't know... *cough*

I picked up the "voter's guide" provided by the <League of Women voters> for Texas.
I started deligently reading it... but kinda gave up after the Texas Supreme Court Justice.
(What~ it's long dang it... ;_;)

So I'll be voting for... prez, Texas representing US Senator, railroad commisioner, and
Texas Supreme Court Justice. I'm in good shape if I manage to remember which one's which... 
*cough*

I'm just a tad bit debating about prez though I'm pretty sure who I'm voting for...

 

Yo people;

If anyone is wondering, I did get everyone's shipping details from Kine. So if you ordered the
first week we started taking international orders (so NOT this past week) you should receive
an email from me in the next two days about your shipping costs.

Thanks!

So... before I start...

WARNING! MAY CONTAIN DEPRESSION CONTENTS!


Now... with that out of the way...

I'm a senior in college... and I know this is late... but I've decided I FREAKIN HATE MY MAJOR
AND I WANT TO KILL IT!

When I graduated high school, I didn't know what to do really with my life. So I was like,
fine, I'll go into science and become a doctor just like every asian is expected to do!
It was more of a decision I made because I had to make a decision and didn't know what
to do.

I've figured out what I want to do now... I want to be a diplomat. I want to connect people and nations.
I'm better at talking to people and connecting people... and it took me a lot of years to figure it out...
but I do not care for science. Sure it's interesting... but not enough that I want to become a professional
at it. So... I talked to my parents.

Their response...

"That's impossible!"

.....

Thanks parents for the great support!
Well they did have a point, it's not like they were putting me down for no apparent reason.
But my parents are very practical people, a lot of times... they are too practical.
They told me they pick like 20 diplomats... OUT OF THE WHOLE FREAKIN NATION!
So.. since I spent 4 years in college, I'll have to throw that away and start anew if I wanted
to become a diplomat. And then even if I try hard and half-die, I wouldn't get picked.

And then my dad was like "if you don't become a diplomat, will you be happy being
a housewife?"

.... HELL NO.... I wanna career...

Damn! Why the hell can't we be happy doing nothing? Why do we need a goal in life?
Why do we want to become something? WHY!!!!!

.... So after becoming depressed I wanted a depression/drinking session with my friend
but it was almost 1am saturday-sunday. (Texas forbids sales of liquor after 1am saturday-sunday.
and then you can't buy liquor for the whole sunday.) So I couldn't even have that.

I expected an answer in my dream... but dreamt I was in some college(?) dorm and there
was this big Athen inspired building. I went in... and it was one of those big resturant...
(those laid back tables in tent type places) and I was just going around looking at the place.
I heard the word "Hipaa" somewhere... I know my bro was waiting for me at that dorm place.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?
However, I can't and must suffer having to decide on a freakin career.

Conclusion: life is depressing. We are doomed.

So I get home from school... and I was expecting like 5-6 international orders, right?
It's not like I told a lot of people we were reopening the international orders...

30.... that was the number of emails waiting for me for international orders...
Geez... I guess people wanted the international orders a lot... now I feel bad....
Most of them had just the order info... I kinda like a small note or letter when people
are ordering... like a little, hey how are you... <- hint hint

Ahahaha... I finished recording about 15.... and I'm calling quits... gotta go to sleep so I don't miss school...
like today. I totally didn't wake up for class. I woke up at 1:30 pm clutching my phone... whose alarm I have
obviously turned off during sleep. I even had a backup alarm clock but I apparently turned that off during
sleep too. 

Let's see... other than that... went to electric guitar practice... discovered I was practicing this
one song really slow... and then had a hard time speeding it up... (I only learned for like 2 months so
I am not good by any means) after that, I went to Tukong (martial arts) practice and learned how to handle
a long staff... except it was heavy and I had a confused look on my face for the longest time.
 
Of course before that, there was school... I only went to one class cause I missed the morning one
Ahahah... *sigh*

Conclusion for today: Plumcots are awesome
(Plumcots are like genetically engineered Plum + apricots... they are delicious....)

EDIT: Um... sorry for the confusion... my entry in no way meant I was annoyed by the amount of orders.
lol; it's like that tiring feeling you get... but you're still happy you helped a lot of people feeling?
That was what I was going for. hahahaha. Didn't mean to sound mean...

*dies*

After hours of wrestling with javascript, html, designing websites etc....

It is 5 AM... and the site is up... it might not be as pretty lookin as Kine makes it most of the time...
But it works...

I tried incorporating Kine's pic as a background..and whatever I would write was hard to read...
So I ended up coming up with a very simplistic design. I liked the maroon + purple box and
the simplistic design.... but yeah... Kine was NOT impressed at all...

Oh well... if I were good at designing... I guess I would be doing something else as a living...

The mailing list thing does not work. Probably something wrong with the programming language.
I think it has a problem calling up javascript in html. Have contacted the help desk... but it might be
a problem with Internet Explorer.

So ladies and gents, the international orders page is up... along with my random blogs no one
really cares to read. Just a head's up, Kine's blog takes a long time to load sometimes...

EDIT: The mailing list works now! Thanks to Kate of Bravenet for helping me! Whee!~
