So many expenses...

Well... I was planning on updating the closet earlier, but for some stupid reason blogger wouldn't accept my password, even though I already reset it

Anyways, I cracked a tooth last week. The same tooth I had a root canal on about a year ago. The dentist said that if I cracked it again, I'd have to have a crown on it. IT'S EXPENSIVE! The new 'tooth' is better than the last one, no sharp edge that my tongue gets stuck on.

Another expense(to be) is for new glasses. The lens on my old ones don't work any more. It's getting harder to read all my lovely manga!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand... my pc is acting up for some reason... It hangs when I burn DVDs and I keep getting cyclic redundancy errors on my torrents :(

I AM happy with the yaoi releases this week. Still miffed about the Tyrant vol 3 not being released here... Hopefully it will be next week.

The rains have started... It's getting harder to wake up in the mornings o.o

Japan quake

As everyone might have heard by now, an 8.9 quake hit Japan yesterday, March 11, 2011.

I've been watching a few videos on BBC, the ones on CNN came later and didn't want to play. They gave me goosebumps!

Watching that gigantic wave wash away Sendai, taking with it houses and cars, and most probably lives. No one knows how many lives were lost, no one will probably know the exact number of people that  have died. And will die.
There was one video where a car was stopped on a bridge on a river, who's water was slowly rising, with the rest of the tsunami water approaching. I wonder if the people in the car made it. The wave was already slowing down at that point, that's the way it appeared to me because it was taken from high above, I know I could be wrong.

I just watched another video showing the fires. And looked at some of the pictures.

It really scares me. The number of earthquakes lately have increased and have gotten stronger. 
The Philippines, where I am, has also been hit with much smaller quakes lately, and we were included in the tsunami warning. The highest one was about 2 feet high.

It makes me remember the quake the Philippines had 20 years ago. I was in college (yes, I know I'm dating myself :p), but I didn't have classes on that day so it happened while I was watching TV. Watching the footage of the supermarket reminded me of how I felt that day... After all the shaking, we all laughed and joked around... Until we saw the footage of the damage done to Baguio city....
I had to thank my lucky stars, and my mom, for not allowing me to study in Baguio as I wanted. The school was a total wreck, and is now known to be haunted. 

I pray that whatever diety exists pay special attention to Japan tonight and the next few days. 

Oh, I heard on the radio yesterday that we had a 5.2 quake in Mindoro, a province here, the day before yesterday. I've been looking for an article of it in 2 of the bigger local network's websites. Apparently, it's not that big of  a deal for them, since I could find no mention of it... I hope no one got hurt there.

Sick!

Day three of being home, sick again. Damned hormones.... once a month.... no fail... I get sick!

At least the package finally arrived. The fecking thing took only 2 months...
And here I am, actually planning on buying more books, and using their services again.... *sigh*
There is another service, but it's more expensive. Meh... We'll see...

Another day older and deeper in debt

Yes, it's Thursday and thus tis new manga day.
7 manga... Um... 6 manga and 1 novel. All listed in the bishie closet.

I started reading Love Syndrome while I my order for dinner was being prepared (Oyakudon and Shake Sashimi from Teriyaki Boy). I was liking what I was reading! Though I didn't really have time to even finish the second chapter. I stopped at the exciting part where the kohai was leaving because he was afraid he wasn't going to be able to stop himself from jumping (and humping) his sempai.

....

I just went to read what finally happend! And of course smexing happened!

And now for the other stuff that happened... I got my Orange card from Teriyaki Boy. It's a card to claim points for purchases made in Teriyaki Boy and their other partner establishments. I got 7 points with my dinner ^_^
Need to earn 500 so that next year's renewal would be free. I get certain food items for specific points...

Oh... about the title.... I'm now P4,500 deeper in debt to my credit card company *twitch*

Edit:
I'm  not really sure if this belongs here or in the closet.... So I'm going to post it in both!

It looks like my entry didn't make it to the collection contest...
I looked at the pics posted in their FB (and yes, I HAD to register to view the damned thing) and there was probably only 1 with more stuff than me... If I had a week more to take pics of my manga, I'd really take a pic of ALL of them and really show them what my collection was made of...
