Today was the 15th Annual Heart Walk and this was my very first kc event last year.  I woke up at 4:30am, and my bro took Lena and I to William Land Park.  (This was also my first time being project captain =D)  It was still dark when we got there and we just helped people set up tables and reload boxes.  Melody, Liz, and Maricela came to walk help haha.  Julianne, Lena, and I were assigned to help at the ice cream table right next to the stage.  I gotta give props to the ice cream men.  You seriously need muscle for this job haha.  The guy just dropped off four different flavors of Vic’s ice cream and a mini fridge and left haha.  At first, not a lot of people came by for ice cream since it was still early in the morning (8-9ish).  After people came back from the walk, there was a long ass line at the ice cream table haha. It was so hectic we called for backups.  There was at least eight of us who worked on the ice cream.  People went crazy for the mocha and chocolate mint.  I seriously never tried chocolate mint before; I wish i did then.  The popular ice creams were harder to scoop because they were still very frozen, so that made our job very exhausting.  We also did a lot of walking around, spinning the wheels, and collecting free items.  Everyone got 10+ Jamba Juice gift cards, sun protection wipes, foods, drinks, etc.  Around 12, we began clearing the VIP section and putting down the tables and chairs.  Melody took all four ice cream boxes! lmao.  We were planning to walk to HK Wok to eat, but we decided to cross the street and eat at a burger joint.  Ford Burger - highly recommended.  Then my bro picked us up and we came back to my house. 

Sorry, no pictures.

Lena and I will likely start our club soon or some day.  If not, our own business. Haha I seriously don’t know how this going to work, but we’re pretty zealous about it. 

Last Saturday we went to the Walk for Diabetes at the Capitol for key club.  We had to be there by 6am, so Julianne picked me up around 5:30 -_-.  We were the first ones there and it was still dark outside & quite windy.  We carried tents, tables A LOT of tables, chairs, boxes, etc.  It was tedious but after all that we had nothing to do haha.  The kitchen provided bagels with cream cheese but they were hard as rocks haha.  Yet, they were still tasty.  Julianne and I spent some time folding/handing out shirts for the volunteers.

The Light of Eyelids

The begining of ep. 2 was pretty slow with the character introduction.  A little girl, Sui, developed an illnesss that caused her eyes to ache in the presence of light.  Her parents "abandoned" her to another family where she stayed in a dark shed.  Biki, the son of that family, befriended Sui and visited her often in the shed.  Sui explained to Biki people have two eyelids and in order to see complete darkness they must close both of them.  Biki soon began to develop the same illness right when Ginko-san arrived (I love the -san part xD).  Ginko gave him some medicine and then tried to cure Sui.  At night, Ginko told Sui to open the outer eyelids while keeping the other ones closed.

Ugghh, it was sooo sick. haha The mushi came right out of her eyes >.<  Ginko destroyed the mushi and ended up giving her his left artificial eye.  I’m really curious about Ginko’s past now and how he lost his eye.  (Possibly the same reason as Sui)  The mushi just consume your whole eyeball.  Ohhh, good stuff.

Tender Horns

I don’t have caps for this ep but it was rather interesting.  Deep in the snowy mountain, some villagers developed hearing problems from to the Un Mushi.  The Un Mushi goes inside a person’s ear and stays in the organ while consuming all the sounds.  After Ginko cured them, the head of the village secretly asked him to cure her grandson, Maho.  Maho developed four horns on his forehand, and he claimed that he could hear loud strange noises.  His mother also had the same condition and died from it.  The reason for his condition was a rare A Mushi.  The other part was a little confusing to me, so I’m not going to try to explain it. 

Overall, I love how the story picks up on the little things and gives you this other perspective on human senses.  The simple things like when people cover both their ears with their hands, they don’t hear complete silence.  Instead, there’s this little rumbling noise; in this case, Maho’s mother heard lava flowing out of the mountain.  I know everyone heard of it before, but I never really think much of it.

Gah, this part sucks.  Just let Inoue die already. -_- I got all excited about the Arrancar arc and now Inoue ruins it for me.

They are neither plants nor animals. They differ from other forms of life such as the micro-organisms and the fungi. Instead they resemble the primeval body of life and are generally known as "Mushi". Their existence and appearance are unknown to many and only a limited number of humans are aware of them. Ginko is a "Mushi-shi" who travels around to investigate and find out more about the "Mushi". In the process, he also lends a helping hand to people who face problems with supernatural occurances which may be related to the "Mushi".

Ellegarden sounds a lot like Blink 182 especially in their English songs.  They’re actually not that bad to listen to. ^_^

Gah, I really want that CD, but I can’t find any store that sells them.  I also want the Honey & Clover OST, but it’s around 30 bucks -_-;; I should get a job soon.  Someone should open a store here that carries the latest Japanese CD’s, DVD’s, etc.  I’d go there every weekend.

My brother’s idea of fun is to have a nature hike.

At 10am, my brother and I picked up his gf and headed to Vallejo.  I’d prefer going to San Francisco instead by they’re closing this weekend for reconstruction (I think).  The drive to San Rafael was long and dull; nothing to be excited about.  When we reached Point Reyes, we stopped by the Lil’ Shorty Food place.  We bought bread, tuna salad dressing, and duck pate.  Point Reyes or Marin or __ (this place seems to have multiple names, I’m not quite sure which is which) is a little tourist town where all the little stores are next to each other with a mini market.  (more…)

Yes, my first post for Death Note. I’ll be doing little summaries, but not so much scanlation unfortunately.  Here we go…
