So in LOVE!

Gunther, Gunther, you're so cute and amazing!

From Wikipedia :

Lord Gunter von Christ

A teacher and swordsman who adores Yuuri. (It's actually a very mild term, obsessed is what I'll use in his case) Günter is a skilled swordsman and magician, but has retired to teach Yuuri about Shin Makoku and his future duties as the Maoh. He is a very whimsical person and poetic in his thoughts. *SWOONS* He is Yuuri's advisor and mentor, teaching Yuuri various aspects of Shin Makoku. Günter's personality is usually bubbly and emphatic, but when he puts on his serious face he can be awe-inspiring. (TOTALLY!) He has an extremely strong attachment to Yuuri and tends to pine (spaz) when Yuri has been gone from the Shin Makoku for any considerable amount of time. He is very popular among females and males because of his good looks!!!!! ( So true...)

A Fruitful Day

Cupcakes, Before And After!

EZ's Cupcakes With Faces. >.<

I tried out a cupcake recipe I acquired from my swap-bot CUPCAKES!!! group today with my bestie, See Pui. Two girls totally new at baking tried their hand at making cupcakes today and it's a miracle the kitchen survived. We made chocolate chip cupcakes and decorated them with icing. It's not exactly PERFECT but it's presentable! And I'm bringing some over for my ex-colleagues to have a taste of MadBunny poison tomorrow. If any of them contracts diarrhoea or shows any kind of food poisoning symptom, it’s totally unrelated to me! *looks all innocent*

There are different drawings on the cupcakes to represent us. The snail, (I hope you can make it out cause I drew it!) is of course See Pui nicknamed Siput. The bunnies are, of course, ME! Next, there’s a surprise drawing among the cupcakes related to a certain ex-bi partner of mine. (I wonder if she’ll be able to make it out)

I had a lot of fun making those cupcakes and a lot more in photographing them than eating. Not that it tastes bad, no, on the contrary. It’s moist and sweet. I just prefer looking at cute food than consuming them. And for my day’s work, I am presented with a sojourn to a certain cyber cafe for RO-ing. It’s a great day indeed! Both my thief and acolyte levelled up quite fast! This is of course due to great teamwork between friends.

However, a great day ends in misery. My cough went bad all of a sudden and I am coughing until my chest hurts and I get dizzy from the lack of oxygen. I have a long day tomorrow and I hope I get better come morning. Before I pen out, OMG! Gwendal is absolutely a hottie in his younger days... *drools*

Personality Test

Got the site from Ivy... http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Your view on yourself : You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don't like conflict. Because you're so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for : You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship : You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love : You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education : Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you : You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success : You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of : You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self : You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Kyou Kara Maou!

I'm watching Kyou Kara Maou now! Reached about episode 49 I guess... Second season. Gosh I’m so in love with the characters... There's the naive and idiotic Maou, Yuri, who's deep sense of justice prevails above all else. His "fiancé", Wolfram, is hot tempered and always gets jealous no matter who Yuri talks to. (Seems like a guy and guy relationship in Shin Makoku is a norm.) Gwendal is funny when you think of his obsession with CUTE THINGS! A warrior like him who looks so formidable, that actually loves to knit and is afraid of the so called "scary" feminist, Anissina. Now, among them, Conrad is the most gentle, and understands Yuri the most. Perhaps it’s because Yuri was born from the soul of Julia. (Who I suspect is someone Conrad is in love with) And, Conrad is the one who always dote on Yuri and pampers him. Not to say that the others does not but they have their own ideas of how things are done and prefers their way of executing them. Wolfram loves to call Yuri an idiot and Gwendal is just plain cold. But they really do "sayang" Yuri a lot. My favourite character would have to be Gunter. Although he's slightly obsessed (Ok. VERY obsessed) with Yuri, I kinda liked his character best. Silly most of the time and is only RARELY serious, he is so hilarious to look at but at the same time, I have to admire his sword skills and he just looks so awesomely cool when he's not going gaga over Yuri. Gyaa! His short experience of having his soul transferred to a kokeshi doll is extremely funny. Got me rofl... XD Another funny episode is when a certain Princess Elizabeth is introduced to Yuri only to make herself known as Wolfram's fiancée! Wolfram of course chose Yuri but Elizabeth knocked all the utensils onto the floor and poor Yuri accidentally picked up the fork again to all's dismay. You can even see Conrad holding his face in his hands behind Yuri. Romeo and Paris! They fight, one fall. But who is the one who fell? Yuri wanted to lose because he thinks Elizabeth is better suited for Wolfram but everyone made comments about it and so he resigned himself to the fight. When all seems lost, Wolfram steps in and defended Yuri. Elizabeth was so mad she started on Wolfram and even used magic but Dark Yuri stepped in this time because he does not want to see someone he cares for hurt. And so, he saves the day again! Yuri still has to endure having Wolfram in his bed but "Oh well..." *shrugs* Nothing is ever perfect. Not even in the Great Demon Kingdom. =)

Living In The Past, Present or Future?

A lot of things defines us. And above all are our actions and words. Everyone erred. No particular person is perfect on Earth. I myself have done a lot of things that I am ashamed of. Be it with friends, relatives and especially with my parents. I am not proud of all those things and I am definitely not proud of my own achievements. From my own stubbornness a shoot that nearly destroys my life was born. But I was saved. I can still salvage what's left of my life. And build a better one for myself. This time, on firm foundation. I was given a chance. A chance I seized with every strenght left in my body. No longer will I dwell on mistakes of the past. I will live in the present and dream of a better future that I will work hard to achieve for myself. I was hurt before by doing a lot for those I love only to find out how important I really am in their heart. A half an hour or even 5 minutes, a sumptous meal... I am not even worth that much for them to sacrifice those slight things for when I gave them hours of my life... But should I give up my own self, that which defines me, to wall up my emotions, to be as cold as ice? I still do not have the answer. Mybe time and experience will give me the answer I needed. So for now, the past, stays behind. I will not bring it into my future. Maybe the answers I need will be found one day and I can look back into my past experiences and instead of bitterness, finds peace.

Hope, The Story of Pandora's Box

Hope. I heard once a story related to hope. It was said that long time ago, in a time of peace and prosperity, there was a woman so beautiful that there were no others who could be compared to her. Her name is Pandora. The gods held a celebration for her beauty one day and all of them bestowed upon her gifts of all sorts that would complement her and make her even more beautiful than ever. Some gave her stunning jewellery and others, cloths made from simple dawn and glorious sunset. One particular god gave her a box, a handsome box decorated with mother of pearl and jewels of all kind but she is not supposed to open it no matter what. Another goddess who is jealous of Pandora’s beauty blessed upon her the gift of curiosity. And as Pandora is curious as to what the box contained, she finds herself drawn to it, wondering what it could be inside. One day, she could not bear it anymore, she opened the box and unleashed upon our world all the evils that mankind now know. Hate, death, spite, malevolence and all the evils unimaginable. She was terrified and bowed her head down, tears streaming down her face repeating the words “What have I done?” However, there was another thing inside the box that crept out slowly that she had missed. It was hope. This story tells us that no matter what happens in our life. No matter how swift evil falls upon us, everything can be overcome if we have hope. No matter how slim the chance may be for happiness, as long as we have hope, the light will shines through us once again. When we believe in it. Hope works slowly. It does not work as fast as evil but it is stronger. And where it touches, it gives us back the will to live. And when we regain our will, our free will, there is nothing on earth that can stop us from having the life that we want to have. I was drowning in misery for so long and I have yearned for a glimpse of hope for years. I hope for release and freedom but it does not come easy. All my life I have felt imprisoned. Though I am not bound by physical chains, emotionally, I am not in such a good condition. However, now I know that these things come slow and that when it finally arrives, I will have it in abundance. So now, all I have to do is wait, be patient (something I need to learn) and never stop believing that my heavenly Father will one day bring me out of this situation. There are always brighter days ahead in Him right? =) I’ve found my little piece of hope in this vast world of ours, have you found yours?
