Hi! How have you been? I was supposed not to be here for 2 weeks and look what have I done ^^'. But it was really busy time for me. Finally I passed all of my exams. From kanji test I got 5- and literuature exam... 3. Maybe 3 isn't so great but I'm really happy to get it. It could be worse. But it could be better too ^^'. It's little disappointing that I spent so much time learning literature and my knowledge at this subject still isn't enough. But what is more disappoining is that my marks' arithmetical mean is 4,48 and scholarship is given from 4,50... yeah, no money for me ^^'. Guess that's ok. I've never been too smart and getting high marks is difficult and stressful. I'm not sure if I'm able to do better. The most important thing is that I passed. But it's still bitter-sweet feeling.

And now few things I wrote some time ago but couldn't post here due to lack of internet.

( Bokura no Yuuki )

( D'espairsRay live )

Just a quick note to let you know that I won't be here for 2 weeks. Tomorrow I'm going to Grzybowo, just like one year ago. Hope you have a great summer, guys! :)

I had no idea that Gackt performed Taiyou no uta live with Leehom. Thank you so much, rainy_labyrinth for letting me know. I liked it very much - not as much as version with Hyde, of course ;) But the end when everything is dark and there's one illuminated spot and Gackt is extending his hand to it... just wow *_*.

I changed my password at photobucket... to the one I had. Weird, I'm sure that's how my password looked like. Whatever.

Here's my current obsession. Ken Leung who plays Miles in Lost. His date of birth is 21 January 1970 what I found rather interesting and funny because I've always believed that I can get along better with people from that month, it's easier to make friends :D. Call me stupid but that's how I feel (it doesn't mean that I don't love friends who were born in different time of course ^^'), it's just I've always known and liked some people from that month... But let's go back to the topic, shall we? ^^ Earlier he played some minor roles at well known movies like Saw (I still remember how happy and shocked I was when I noticed him - I had no idea that "my" Miles would be in this movie) and A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (as Syatyoo-Sama but to be honest I don't remember him and that role... anybody?). He also played in X-men: the last stand but I haven't watch it... yet, because yes, I'm crazy enough to watch that movie for him even though I know that his character isn't important at all (am I turning into crazy fangirl? O_o). Ken got role in Lost because of his great actor's abilities that he showed it one episode of the Sopranos. "Lindelof stated that because the character of Miles was specifically created for Leung, if he had not accepted the job then the character would have been completely changed." In an article I read they said that he "specializes in playing creepy and intense characters" - you just have to love him, right? xD
Two quotes from his interview:
"My face frowns by default, so when I'm most calm is when I appear the least approachable."
"When you have a lot of down time, it becomes about the social game, and if you're acting in order to learn how to deal with people in the first place, the social game can be sort of a hard thing to navigate. So you know, I guess I've had a hard time. Everyone's been really sweet to me. I guess they've accepted that I'm not a very social animal, but no one's given me a hard time about it."
And now pics I promised you yesterday :D. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, ;_;, little Miles doesn't want to hear ghost's voices.

I like Miles and I really hope that they won't kill him... too soon - it's Lost we're talking about, everyone dies here sooner or later.

I forgot to mention that there's new Prince of Tennis \o/. I'm so happy to see Fuji again ♥. But I'm also disappointed that they didn't show his play - they just said that he won of course and move on to others matches... But it's ok, it's Fuji so I'm sure that sooner or later we'll see him in action (made of greatness of course).

And now little something about Bleach... meaning you know when you are waaaay too obsessed with someone when... ( bleach spoilers )

I'm not sure if I've done it already...? Have I told you that I'm going to go to D'espairsRay's concert (22.07, Gdynia)? I've got my ticket and it's... beautiful! ok, it's not... it's super-orange... whatever, it doesn't matter, does it? I'm going to see despa (and Karyuuuuu ♥) live! Ok, I'm not that tall so probably won't but I'll hear them and feel their music and it makes me so happy! :D *hugs for all*

I'm learning now Yiruma's River flows in you (don't worry, it doesn't have 9min but 3 ^^). It's very delicate and beautiful song. I have difficulties with ending (and of course with rhythm, tempo in whole songs but that's known without me saying ^^) - it just doesn't sound right *sigh*.

Have you heard the newest Gazette's album? It's great. I love Nakigahara - it's soooo beautiful and makes me want to cry... To be honest I'm so impressed with this song that I don't listen to other songs so often that I'd want to.

I finally watched 5th season of Lost. It's... complicated as hell. Probably I shouldn't have such a big break between seasons or I should just rewatch earlier episodes (I'm not even so sure if I've watched all episodes of 4th season...). But. I loved it. I forgot how much Lost is made of win. And... Miles ♥
I wanted to show you few pictures of him but... I can't recall my photobucket's password (that's weird I was sure that I remember it -_-"). But I'll do it next time, ok? :)
And now some quotes from 5th season. They have so much better effect when you can actually see him playing and saying them but...
( quotes )

I love Miles&Hurley friendship which is starting, I hope that it will develop nicely.

I also started to reread Eden. I was going to write down something about it but then realized that I'm too concerned about Kenji... So. I think that i few months I'll make post only about Kenji to get him out of my system (yeah, yeah, I can see it ;)) and now only few quotes for you:
"If I were god, I think I wouldn't allow the world to be like this. But if someone would ask me how I would make the world... no good new ideas come to my mind."
"You'll become a man, when you're infinitely kind to those important to you and infinitely cruel to all others."
"Where I was still just a kid, the whole world belonged to me. But now that I'm 15, I've begun to realize that I'm nothing but a single "fragment" of the world. So very tiny and powerless. But if I were to die, I have no doubt that the world would be missing that tiny "fragment" of itself."
"If you die, you'll lose everything. But if you stay alive... then someday... something good will come, for sure."

Hello! It's been a long time since I had time for LJ but now that exams are over (well, not really...) and summer break started so I'll be here more often. How have you been?

This term's exams were really difficult and recquired a lot of time to learn for them. It taught me to learn regularlier next semsester. We'll see if I'll make it. I hope so. I'm fed up with being stressed all the time. I'll have to retake two exmas in September - kanji (stupid me wasted time on learning other stuff and didn't prepare enough -_-'; but it's ok because I was thinkng about revising all kanji even before) and japanese literature. Failing at literature makes me so unhappy and angry :(. It will take a lot of time to prepare for it but I have two months so I'll make it.

Failng these exams wasn't the happiest thing in my life but I was more or less ok - I know that I have enough time to prepare for them and I wanted to review kanji anyway. But my mother made me really upset saying that I'm repeating what I've done with Economics. Can't she really see the difference? You can always count on my mother to comfort you :/. I know that she wants the best for me but sometimes what she says really hurts.

I forgot to write about it (or was too busy) but in April we went to International Japanese Studies Workshop. It lasted four days and was placed in a mountain village. At first it was really exciting to be in a new place - mountains wherever you look (I live in a low-lying location so it was new for me) but after two days it got really tiring. It felt like I was being strangled. I really missed sky. The workshop itself was really fun. I'm not social and it was stressing to live in a place with many people I saw first time but after some time I got used to it... a little ;). Apart from Poland there were students of Japanese Philology from Czech Republic and Slovakia so all lectures were held in English - gods, I'm a big failure when it comes to understanding spoken English ;_;. We had lessons from 9 o'clock to 6 (with break for dinner of course). Some of lectures were really interesting and some were way too complicated for firstgraders ^^".
In my opininon, the most interesting lectures were:
+ The Samurai? We know! -- Do We?
+ On Inter-cultural Communication Between Poles and Japanese
+ Last Guardians of Confucian Values or Pioneers of Democracy? A Brief History of Prostitution in Japan
+ Male Homosexuality in Japan Over Ages – from the Heian Period until Nowadays
We (well, some of us) watched Takarazuka play (both male and female roles are played by women) about vampires. It was really interesting and funny but unfortunately it was without English subtitles.

There were some books I read for Japanese Litereature which are really interesting so I'd like to recommend them:( japanese books )

There are also some bands which recently I started to listen to and liked:
1) the Trax
Paradox
Scorpio
2) Maximum the Hormone
Buiikikaesu
Zetsubou Billy
3) Kalafina
Kimi ga Hikari ni Kaete Iku
Lacrimosa

I finally watched Sweeney todd and... I'm a litte disappointed. I expected something better. I thought that I saw many brutal movies and read many brutal manga but all those cutting throat was way too much. But I do love colours used in that movie and Depp's role.

I also watched Tony Takitani. It was really interesting. I fell in love with narrator's voice - so deep and sad ♥. I also loved that you could almost always hear the piano in the background. It was the same melody so I wasn't surprised that some of my friends said that it was boring but I think that it really suits the movie. I also liked narrator's style - sometimes one/two sentences by charatcters were put between narrator's lines and they fit perfectly.

I know that I'm not here so often anymore but I have to say it: I go on a little hiatus because of exams. Will be back after three weeks. I won't visit LJ in that time but I check out my mails almost every day so if you'll need something or just have unstoppable urge to talk with me, just message me ;).

Another not-so-happy news is that I probably won't go to Dir en grey's concert :(. Yeah, because of exams. I don't have any on that day but after it in few days are two the worst exams so... Damn... I really hope that they will have a great time here in Poland and come back soon...

I overslept yesterday. I was supposed to get up at 6 o'clock but I turned alarm-clock off and went back to sleep to wake up at 11 O_o. The thing is I don't remember turning it off. Hell, I even can't recall it ringing. So. I put my mobilephone in the furthest place in my room (in order to move more -> wake more efficiently). And today when it was ringing I jumped off my bed, made maybe two steps and... fell down. I have no luck with waking up, do I? I had aching palm, elbow, knee and other part of my body ^^'. I had no idea that one can fall down on everything ^^'. But now I'm perfectly fine :).

So, take good care, everyone :) I'm really looking forward to summer break when I'll have free time and catch up on everything here :). Read you soon~ ;)

Happy Birthday little_blue_me! ♥

I wish you all the best, be healthy, happy and have great satisfaction and success in life! :)
(... and have more time to update your LJ *look who is saying it ;)*)

*mega-big-hug*


I hope that we will be able to talk more soon because I really miss you... Study is eating me alive. Exams-time is starting soon and I'll have last exam (if I'll be lucky enough) on 29th. And what's up with you? When is your big exam?

Hi! It's been a while, hasn't it? My, time really passed quickly. Exams were full success but we still have a lot to learn and that's why learning consumes a lot of my time. Uni is fun and interesting but I want holidays now~

And now the best news ever: Dir en grey will come to Poland! I found out about it few hours ago and I'm still all happy and hyper :D. Life is really great! :D I just hope that we won't have any exam on that day (24.06 - it's in the middle of our exams-time ^^') - I'd die if I couldn't go. And I hope that some of my friends will want to go too because it's always better to go and have fun with others. Waaaah, I'm so happy! Dir en grey, I looooove you ♥

Recently I watched KO One. It was quite good. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad (but mostly funny) and sometimes... stupid (but only when three secondary characters were on screen - gods, I hated these times -_-). I really liked one character - Xiao Yu played by Aaron Yan. He's quiet and cool and plays the piano too ♥. And Da Dong played by Jiro Wang was making really cute faces ♥.

I've also watched 3rd season of tvseries Skins. It was really great but I think that 1st&2nd seasons were better. My, I miss old crew. 1&2 seasons had more this 'team' feeling - at least that how I remember it and that's what I missed also in 3rd. Too bad that Effy was messing up Freddy-Cook-JJ's friendship. I hope that in next season we'll see more of that friendship. My favourite character of this season is JJ ♥.

And now a little talking about latest, 353rd chapter of Bleach.
( spoilers of 353ch of Bleach )

I haven't write here for so long but if I'm not mistaken I only learned two song on piano in that time. First one ( but I have been trying to learn it for some time so maybe you know about it already) is Haydn's piece which was played by Lestat in Interview with the Vampire - click. And now I'm trying to learn Utada Hikaru's Hikaru (which was used in Kingdom Hearts) - here played by kylelandry. It sounds really great on piano *_*. But it's difficult ^^'.

Hi, I know that I haven't been recently very often on LJ but I'm really busy (exams are approching and thre're still many kanjis to learn O_o). So just a quick note to tell you that it won't change soon so I decided not to 'touch' LJ till my exams are over ^^'. I'll be back in 3/4 weeks. I'm especially sorry because of new friends - I know that we haven't got to know each other yet and I'm making a break but I really hope to get to know each other when I'm back :).

♥

Happy New Year! :)

How did you celebrate that night? To be honest... I was watching tvseries Merlin :D. Maybe it's not so brilliant but it's still funny and enjoyable to watch. AND I love Arthur. And Lancelot (but he was only in one episode so far ;_;). Merlin is so sweet and funny xD. I totally adore friendship between him and Arthur ♥.

2008 was quite good year, wsn't it? For me it was stressful and the beginning because of my problems with studing Economics. Later I resigned what was also stressful because it meant that if I'd failed to get to study Japanese Philology, I'd have been doomed. I improved my English-test's result but not Polish so yeah, next reason to feel under stress. But than there was great news that they accepted me = great satisfaction. I think that it was the most important event in 2008.
In that year I also started to care more about my health. I went to see oculist and doctor and because of that now I'm wearing glasses and take medicine for my heart. Which is good. I shoud have gone there earlier but it's better later than not at all.
There was also one big event in 2008. I went for a first 'real' concert in my live and it was great Japanese band - Plastic Tree. Gods, that was fun. I also went with my parents to Biskupin's Japanese Day and had fun. Oh, and we can't forget about Euro 2008 and Poland - it consumed a lot of my time, energy and emotions. In 2008 I also became more 'internet-person' ;). Now I've got accounts on youtube, lastfm and goodreads.
Books - If I had to choose one book I read and enjoyed the most in 2008 I would pretend that I can't count and I would say: Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice and Therapy by Sebastian Fitzek.
Music - I discovered few bands which now I like very much: Bump of Chicken (or did I know them earlier? whatever ;)), Dio and Onmyouza.
Movies - The Top3 of movies I watched in 2008 are probably: Alexander, Crows Zero and Master and Commander.
TVshows - MD House (Wilson ♥) and Battlestar Galactica (Felix Gaeta ♥)
Anime - I don't watch so many anime like before but there is one anime that I really enjoyed - Death Note. Even now I get sad when I think about 25th episode...
Manga - Prince of the Tennis is finished now. It was hard to get used to not seeing Fuji every now and then. I miss him ♥. I was very impressed by Yumichika in Bleach. He's great, I want to see him more. And of course Eden - recently things don't go so easy to my beloved Kenji... poor thing ;_;.
Piano - The biggest failure is Without you (X Japan). I can't play it. Still. Hope it will change in 2009 *sigh*. The most satisfying song I learnt was Miseinen (Gazette) but the most 'feeling' one was The Will.
