Saturday August 30
First week of school passed by so slowly. I'm already behind in class 'cause I keep falling asleep. It's such a shame that my parents have such a lazy daughter that doesn't bother studying. And I have declared myself the dumb one of the group. Out of my group of friends that consists of seven girls (exluding me), most of them are top 50 I think and I'm just way out of that 50. It's a shame that I don't spend my time like I should. But I have come to the conclusion that I'll die anyways so why should I spend my life doing things I don't like?
I've yet to decide what I want to major in college but I'm leaning towards either graphic design or education. Being a teacher won't be that bad since I'll get the holidays off and such. Then again...I'm kind of mean. I'm already feeling sorry for my future (maybe) students.
Since I'm not a very interesting person, I would like to know what other people think/their opinions are. So from now I'll be putting up a question or three in every blog post I make from now on (or if I remember).
First set of questions, and you can answer in the c-box or comment on haloscan (preferably in haloscan.)
1. Do you know what you want to do in the future?
2. What is death?
Monday August 25
First day of school! I was actually very excited to go back since I'll be driving this year since I have a work period and get to leave early. It was great seeing everyone again even though I see most of them every week at church.I was very happy since almost everyone is in my lunch AND my best friend is in my Chinese class.
My schedule for anyone that actually cares:
1. Pre Cal
2. English
3. Physics Pre-AP
4. DCP
LUNCH 5. US Govt
6. AP CH LAN
7. FREAKIN' FREE!
I can explain why I'm in pre-cal and instead of stats or calculus. 'Cause my counselor is GAY. Messed up my schedule freshmen year so she basically screwed me over from then on. Now I'm against counselor's and their secretaries because the one in sophmore year was a total bitch and a racist.
But moving on...work period, I have to work at least 10 hours a week which won't be that hard and my teacher will be helping me find another job, maybe at a vet's place or something. No food though, I'm definitely not going to work with food anymore. I hate wearing hairnets and hats and putting my hair up and standing for long hours without being able to sit. It's torture.
And it's already 9:30 so I should probably start on my homework and shower and sleep. Why do I have freaking homework on the first day of school?!?!

Open My Eyes
As you can see, Revelation has a new layout. No, you did not go to the wrong site and I'm sorry if it looks ugly to you, I'm really no good at drawing. The only thing I can draw is stick...not even stick figures, just sticks. Yea that's how bad I am. I tried though, I drew everything by hand except the bird. That's why the bird looks so out of place because it was drawn by someone else.
So I tried out a new style. I'm quite proud because I used everything from scratch except that bird...if only I can draw then life would be more colorful. Anyways, I'm very hungry right now...I woke up at 4:48AM and I went back to sleep and when I checked the clock again it still said 4:48! I did that three times and it did not change. Then I turned my back on the clock and fell into a light sleep, woke up and it read 5:15.
I was thinking why I woke up so early when I realized that it was my hair. I just got it permed on Monday so I'm not suppose to wash it for three days. Does anyone know how uncomfortable and gross it feels?!?! Well if you don't, let me tell you.
Not being able to wash your hair when you want to feels nasty. But yea, I won't bore you anymore with that.
So I've been spending way too much money the past few weeks. Just a few days ago I got a Coach wallet/clutch thing. I'm too lazy to look up what it's called. Whatever, then got some jackets, lots of shirts and pants. I'm a money spending whore. Damn right.
Well, I'm going out soon to do some more shopping. Leave me some messages biotches! I mean...I'll love you if you do! Oh and if you haven't noticed, I'm in a hurry so I didn't change the little banner in the Haloscan comment thing. So you can stare at Ruki a little longer.
Happy Birthday?
This icon is so cute! Props to Shini for making it for me for winning second place in the icon contest. I also got another icon, two blank buttons and a wallpaper along with a second place banner. It was awesome. I really adore the wallpaper since it has the GazettE on it and it's blue XD
Alright so yesterday was my birthday, I can watch rated-R movies in theater now! Not like I never did though...lol. But many thanks to the people that wished me Happy Birthday! I was really happy whenever they said it because it just makes me feel warm inside? I don't know...
Well I really didn't do much for my birthday though, I just went with my sister to draw her blood then to Walgreens to buy some school crap and came home for lunch. Then I took a nap because I'm a pig. Woke up and we went out to get a fishing license for my dad and brother since their going fishing today. I hope they'll catch a shark! Well, then we went to Banana Leaf for dinner then stopped by Jungle Cafe for a cake and then the three of us was dropped off at church for post-camp!
It was great seeing everyone from camp again. Even though it was only two weeks ago, it felt like forever that I haven't seen them. Anyways, got there at 7:30 and lots of people came up to tell me Happy Birthday. Then I got a bigger surprise when I saw Andre there! Andre is one of my close friend that I barely ever see. Well he was there and it was cool. After post-camp ended I was going to go to IHOP with a group of friends but then my mommy forbade me to go :(
So I had to come home and we ate the cake and now I'm here. Overall I think about 50+ people said Happy Birthday to me. It makes me happy to hear those words. Even though I didn't get the camera (yet) I'm content with the birthday wishes.
Oh but I did get a really pretty bracelet from Ben, he's such a sweet guy! And lots of hugs from people...even random people. It was kind of weird. They probably have cooties ><
Hopefully, tomorrow (actually today, it's almost 1AM) I'll get to go shopping (again) with my sister. She leaves for college on Saturday, it makes me sad to see her go again. No one will "help" me with my homework now!!
Well, I wish everyone will have a blessed and happy day! Good night.
Interested?
Look at the icon closely! This is exactly how I feel right now. Like I'm bound and tied up and all that jazz. For a while now, almost every graphic site I have visited, I see the same style that Jeni@Lemonend use. I mean, I really love Jeni's style but now everyone is using it and it makes it that less special (unless Jeni makes it then it's like awesome). Why can they not find their own style?!?!
I may be hypocritical, I'm not sure myself. But I know what my style is and hopefully, I am not contradicting myself when I say that I have my own unique style...
And I'm also not trying to say that I'm better than any of the graphic designers out there in the world, but it's just so tiring to see the same thing over and over again. I really hope to see more original art and unique styles.
Anyways, went to work today at 9 in the morning and got off at 3:30. Came home and ate lunch then showered and headed to Vicki's house. She just came back from China on Tuesday and I am so envious of her that she got to go to Taiwan for a week. I miss my homeland -tear-
But, tomorrow is my birthday and I'm crossing my fingers that my dad got me the camera. I probably sound really spoiled right now but who cares. I want that camera! -is not spoiled- And I also want to watch Sleeping Beauty, oh how I love the classic Disney Princesses. I used to pretend that I was Ariel the Little Mermaid when I went to the pool. Then I discovered that breathing underwater was a bad idea and never tried that again.
Pass The Time
I'm so bored! Yesterday I went to the doctor for a check up and then drew some blood...then went shopping. Bought a jacket and my brother got a polo and a jacket from Forever XXI. I have this weird obsession with wanting my brother to start dressing nicely and prettily so that other girls his grade will swoon when they look at him. Then, when that happens I can point to him and be all "Yea that's my brother, he's so cute!" -pinch cheeks- But that will never happen...he's too ghetto for prettiness. I will not give up though! I shall keep taking him shopping and buy him pretty things. I am such a good big sister! Now I bet most of you think I'm weird for doting on my brother. My only reason for my action is because he's the youngest in the family and I need to make up for when I was little and used to slam him fingers in the door when I steal his toys (on accident of course). I feel guilty for that. I mean, maybe that's why his fingers aren't as pretty as mine. Poor little brother, he never saw how evil his sister could be when he was born.
Yes, I do call myself evil. I'm evil! -laugsh evily-
So now I'm watching Ouran High School Host Club. It's annoyingly cute but also just plain annoying. I don't think it's funny at all but it just somehow makes my brain want to laugh. And oh my wowzers. I was wondering why it was so dark in the room and I look outside and it's raining. This is how unaware of things I am. Oh and it looks so pretty outside with the rain falling semi-lightly. I wish I could take a good picture of this but I can't since it's so hard to catch clear things with that sucky camera.
Now I seriously hope that my dad will really get me that Nikon d60 for my birthday like he said he would before. Actually, he better get it for me because he already said he would. He's always like that though, he'd say he get me this and then wouldn't afterwards. For example he said if I saved up $200 he'd get me a computer. Well didn't happen and I saved up more than that $200. So yea, he better get it for me or else...I'll end it here hehe.
The Beginning
In the beginning, there was nothing. Now, look at how the world has changed. Welcome, to the new Revelation. If you're wondering why Ariel opened another site, well...keep wondering because I really do not have a good answer. Amaranthine will soon be shut down and terminated (love that word) by Shadow after a few more weeks. Simply because I do not feel the strong desire to make graphics anymore, but who knows...maybe something good will happen and I'll get back into the whole design thing later.
At the moment though, I will be focusing on school and work. This site is made to mainly be my blog and some what of a portfolio (portfolio will come later). I'll put up some of my old layouts in there and so on.
Right now, I don't have much up to blog about so I shall talk about this layout!
Version One of Revelation :: People Error features Ruki from GazettE (my favorite band). It is titled "People Error" because I was listening to the song when making the layout, and I think the song is very beautiful and I can just fall asleep listening to it, which I did last night. Anyways, I used the bird scan from Jeni@Lemonend, notebook paper texture from Sanami276@DeviantArt, cloud brushes from JavierZhX@DeviantArt, and Ruki's picture from antiPOP.
The rest I used from scratch. At first I was just playing around and experimenting with a new style but then it slowly started to morph into another one of my dark layouts but I still am proud of it. Even though it is a little bit crowded I just like crowded spaces. Seriously, I used to surround myself with chairs when I was little and box myself up with boxes. Yea, I was a strange kid.
