She stumbled out of her room and to the sink. Splashing cold water on to her face, she looked up, big dull eyes looking into the hazy mirror. Fuck. She thought. I look as miserable as I feel. She giggled a little at that. Couldn't help it. At that moment, her phone buzzed. A message from her friends. Dinner outside or at the canteen? Eventually, she decided to go out. She had to get a drink anyway.
Luckily, her friends too wanted some alcohol. The three of them made their way to the shop at the end of the end of the road. Three quarts of some cheap old rum, some smokes and a mixer and they were set. Making their way back to the college slowly, they decided to sit at their local smoking spot (right outside college) and drink there. It was good. Felt calm.
Later on phone calls would come. Explanations would be asked for. Some would be given, some would be avoided and some would be ignored. But, for now, everything was cool. And all they had to do was not worry...and be happy...
Alcoholic? We're not alcoholic!

That's 9 episodes done.
Two girls end up sitting together on a train to Tokyo and find out they have loads in common, including their name - Nana...
They run into each other again when they're hunting for a place to live and decide to share a flat. The anime is stunning because of many reasons, especially the graphics and more importantly, the sound track. Wow. Whoever is Nana-the-singer's voice actor is stunning.
As for the "Nanas". They're both 20 years old. And they're both shifting to Tokyo. But that's pretty much where the similarity ends.
Nana 1 has strawberry blond hair and big hazel/brown/golden eyes. She's always excited and completely dependent on someone or the other. She's naive and child-like and falls in love with any one who is older and more "dependable" (whatever that means!). She's also been described as spoilt and selfish, but it really is in a harmless sorta way. As Nana 2 says, Nana 1 is like a puppy. "Friendly and obedient but always wanting atention". She's "run away" (sort of) from home and come to Tokyo so that she can be with her best friend and the guy she's in love with.
Nana 2 on the other hand, is... well... For starters, she has short dark hair. As for her eyes, they can be gray, blue, brown... Its really quite strange, but also somehow endearing. When she's upset, her eyes seem to go all wide and a light shade of gray. When she's angry or depressed, they're almost black. I dunno. She seems to be the more responsible of the two, but I've only begun the series and I think she's just as spaz in her own way. She always has a cigarette dangling from her lips and wears a leather jacket almost everywhere. Oh yes, and she is a vocalist for the recently disbanded "Blast".
What I love about the series is that there are so many little moments and scenes and words that just hit you, and you know exactly what it would feel like to be there, you know? Nana 1 has been narrating most of the episodes till now, and she sounds so ... grown up, and slightly sad... It draws you deeper into the show coz you keep wondering what happened to them.
Another reason to watch this anime. Ren. Hot. *grins* (For the guys, the two Nana's running around should be enough!)
As for the series itself, the amount of detail is refreshing. There's always something to make you grin. For example, episode 9, when Yasu is listening to Nana sing over the cell phone, he lights up right before a sign that reads "No Smoking". And he's a lawyer. *laughs*
I can not wait to find out what happens to everyone on the show.
More updates as I get the time.
Cya!
^_^
P.S. T_T. I know I totally can't write a review! Gomen Nasai. *bows* *teary eyed* I aim to improve!!! Anyhow, now I'm off to watch the first episode of Vampire Knight! Later!
I just saw "What happens in Vegas"...
No, this isn't goin to be a review... nor is this goin to be an account of what I did today... Simply because it would be impossible. The first, coz of holes in my memory and trips in and out of the whole. The second, because it would all be a series of un-relatable giggling moments...
[chuckling for the boys if they prefer ;)]
Anyhow, today was... simply so much FUN!!! I had more fun today than I have had this whole trimester! And I mean that totally!!! There have been moments when I think every thing's perfect... but then the world crashes down on me... However, today, I got away for long enough... The world crashed, but I wasn't there anymore...
*smiles*
Room solidarity...
Must remember that...
There's going to be a raid tonight...
FUCK!
Not tonight... I'm just glad we got intel...

Thank you Mave
I played DBZ; Tenkaichi Budokai. Spent Thursday and Friday at Kiku and Kaki's place. It was a LOT of fun. It was like livin with Tina. The coolest kinda life to live! While with Tina, it was mainly the P.C, here it's the PS2. The A/C's always on, the PS2 runs over 12 hours at a time (with breaks only when the electricity decides to cut), and there's always LOADS of Ice-cream in the refrigerator. Dreamy. We played DBZ, WWE: Raw v Smack Down and Cricket 2008. Rish also showed up on Thursday night, so there were 5 of us. Although I AM the eldest, I felt like the youngest one there. Also, now all my 'baby brothers' are all over 6 feet tall!!! -_-
I also surpassed K and Rish at DBZ. Heh. My brother's still pissed at me... and since Kiku and Kaki themselves said so, he can't even say anything. *grins* But then, the thing is, those kinda games are the only ones that I'm good at. I'm not tryin to be vain, but what to do kinda comes naturally to me. In fact, normally, I don't even know how I'm doin whatever I'm doing and if I had to teach anyone, I'd absolutely SUCK! But yesterday, I consciously tried to get better. like, I played against Kiku, and that too some 7-8 games in a row, just so that I could get better. And it did help!!!
Anyhow, I had a great time. Takin pics, makin videos, playing DBZ, watchin Devil May Cry clips, eatin 'Cookies and Cream' ice-cream, beatin up Rish... All of it... Though... it kills me to know the youngest is smoking. I mean, dude, he's only what? 15??? And he's been smoking since 8th??? *sigh* But he's growing up just the way I imagined he would... and just the way I was afraid he would... *sad smile* The others? Well, apart from growin up, they're all pretty much the same. Kids man! They're only kids! Gah, this world is too fucked up for its own good!!! I'm honestly frightened at the thought of my brother growin up here! Still, there IS nothin I CAN do...
*sigh*
Yay! My 'social life' LIVES again!!! Muhahahahaha!! ^^
Today, Lin, An.K and I had gone shopping, and for once in my life I wasn't just the bag-holder, clothes-picking helper; I actually bought a lot of stuff myself! Now THAT is news! Lol. Other than that, today was fun. We had momos for lunch (finally) along with Thupka. Both veg since An.K's veg, but it was too hot to eat meat anyway. Also, I finally smoked today. Oh my GOD, I can't even describe what a relief it was! Ooooh, separate post about that comin up! ^_^
Lin's cousin brother picked us up and dropped us. She met my parents and now I'm hoping they'll let me go out tmrw. Cafe Morisson. It'll be soooooooooo much fun!!! C.R will be dropping us back at nite. (He was supposed to show up today as well, but didn't.) E-san will be there too! ^_^
Anyhow, after spendin a lil bit of time here, Lin and I went to 'Spice mall' where we met E-san and V.V. Had lotsa coffee, after which E-san and I dropped Lin home. It's not that bad meetin Law-schoolites outside college. I honestly don't see why everyone makes so big a deal about it! Ah well, I guess its annoying if you have plans with non-law schoolites and you keep runnin into em. I dunno...
Anyhow, I shall now return to ODing on chocolates! ^_^

heh...
At least the day dosn't begin that way...
The first of the day is usually in the second break...
even on the days I decide I won't smoke today... well, someone always wants to go..
and you go along...
company's sake...
But then, you're there so may as well, ne?
After all, there's always tmrw, right?
Except...
every tmrw is an exact repetition of today...
You know...
it wasn't supposed to be this way
*laughs*
But I guess that's what you always say, no matter how things turn out...
Is it a good thing?
That I'm really here?
I dunno...
I really don't...
It doesn't really matter, does it?,,,
Does it?,..
I dunno... too tired to think now...
Too tired...
It's been a while...
I love this...
Love everything shuttin down one by one...
Yeah, so my lungs are goin to die, but well, my liver's keepin it company...
lol, and as my 'friends' say, so is my life...
Doesn't matter...
Why though?
Most of the times, I'm ok with it...
In fact, I'm glad its this way...
I wanted this, no?
A life where I was in total control...
except...
am I?
Yeah, I'm free of people...
and the only place these thoughts find existence (other than in my head) is here...
And no one I know in real life reads themmm...
Jus online 'friends'... too far away to anythin bout it...
Exactly the way I wanted it...
So much more...
I could've had it all...
but then again in a way I guess I do...
Projects? Don't really matter, right?
Marks?
Well, not bankin too much on gettin by five yeas anyhow...
Why do I care now then?
Coz... well... No matter what...
I'll fight as long as I have to.
As long as there's an option..
It may seem like I'm losing...
but right now... stayin alive takes top priority...
and well... whatever helps me make sure I do... it's ok...
Long run?
Honestly speakin, am too worked up bout short run to care...
Someday, I'll leave it all behind...
And be everything I wanted to be...
but for now...
*click*
*light*
*drag*
I'm goin to concentrate on stayin alive...
Strawberry Fields.
No, not the song. (Though I love it completely too)
Those of you who know what I’m talking about deserve to live; the others may please jump off the nearest roof or into the nearest well.
Now that that’s out of the way, and I have absolutely nothing to do but go to a class I’m already late for and I seem to have lost the last of my smokes (@##%!^@%@), I shall attempt to describe what these last three days have been like.
Heaven.
Hmm… that was easy.
But seriously…
I was there. All that stuff bout pretty little children in puffy white clouds who play harps and have beautiful wings… is utter NONSENSE.
Heaven is a rock concert. And not just any, Heaven is strawberry fields.
Why is it such a big deal?
Is it the incredible music? The good food? The free booze? The hope of running into a hot guitarist?
Nah, those things happen in all rock concerts. Normal, ordinary ones (if I dare call a concert that!).
The reason it’s such a big deal is hard to put down in words. Or maybe I jus ended up with too many dead brain cells which used to control the grammar section of my brain!
Either way, the things that make it a big deal start from the minute you step into law school… Actually, back up, they start from before that…
Strawberry Fields is why I got into NLS.
Three days of waking up and reporting to a dry, scorched field, clearing it of all sorts of substances, listenin to people play music you love, running around getting food from everyone for everyone, the occasional stray can of beer, the cigarettes someone always manages to have, the kind of people you meet, the interesting conversations you’re part of, the fence hopping, the headbanging…
These and so many more random little things make Strawberry Fields so special…
*sigh*
I would love to go on… and believe me I can! (Ask my poor room mate, I just can’t shut up about how much I miss SF)
I must go now...
Or I’ll miss the next hour as well!!! More importantly… I have to find my smokes.
Rock on.
Strawberry Fields FOREVER!!!
