I'm sick of this.

I'm coming to believe that, at least in my case (for I know a disease can be different for each individual), the whooping cough is actually a disguised and involuntary version of bulimia.

It's pretty tiresome really.

But I still had a great Christmas though. Thank you for wonderful gifts, everyone!

Critical hit!

Take that evil bacterias!

I got an Antibacterial at the Emergency Department.

It's weird though, 'cause they took the exact same tests as my doctor did yesterday, but this time they were positive. And the doctor there heard me coughing and plainly stated that "that sort of cough needs antibacterial".

I'm so happy.

I don't want a bacterial infection. not at all. But I'd rather have that than some stupid viruses. Bacteria I can kill. This kind of infection there's a solution to.

I feel better already.

So.

I was hoping the doctor would find some bacteria that I could just kill with some penicillin, laugh at, and then be done with.
But no.
bacteria-test negative.

But I've got something that'll help me cough up the nasty stuff at day and then something that'll calm my coughing at night. And then we'll just have to wait and see...

Maybe I'll be able to sleep now with the anti-coughing-mixture-thing. Sleep and BREATH.
I'm tired of waking up choking and gasping for breath because everything is closed.

You would think that after the twentieth or so time you wouldn't be that scared anymore. I always get air in the end. But no, I panic every single time. It's terrifying.

YaY

A little praise and advertising for Imogen Heap.

Since me, Gacha 1, 3 and 4 is seeing her live next week I figured I could start my fangirling now.

Imogen Heap, ladies and gentlemen, is just fantastic. And you would think, at least I used to think, when you hear her music that this kind of music must be boring live. You would think it was just some playback-music and that the artist would stand still on the stage singing. In that case you are wrong. Imogen Heap brings all her equipment with her on stage and builds up the music, sound by sound, then and there. It's just awesome. Sometimes she uses the audience too and it really makes you feel like you're part of something. And on top of it all her music is just beautiful. I'm really happy that I get to see her again.

Most people have heard her song "Hide and Seek", which is a great song, through tv-series and Jason Derülo's song "Watcha Say", but that song is really just the tip of the iceberg.

Imogen Heap live in Oslo, February this year:

Of course the sound is much better when you're actually there than this camera managed to catch.

And she's so nice! She's got this charming, British sense of humor and cute way of carrying herself. So even between the songs the whole concert got this cozy atmosphere.

The studio-version of "First Train Home" and some other favorites of mine:






Funny thing: I discovered Imogen Heap years ago when some random person used a song from her old band, Frou Frou, in a Kingdom Hearts-amv... Proves that "illegal" streaming of music can actually work for the artist's (and record-companies) benefits.

Sorry. Tons of unrelated random nerdy rambling incoming. It's ok if you don't understand it all... :

When I was in junior high I used to walk around brainstorming words beginning with the letter K.

It was just a way of passing boredom. But now I have come to understand that I just simply love the sound of that letter. Hence names like Kio (my "real name" online) or Kei (the name of my protagonist amongst my original characters).

I just love those short K-names. And Japan got lots of them! What a lovely language! My latest anime-crush got the lovely name Kida. And with the correct honorific added he's Kida-kun and it just sounds great, doesn't it? Kiiiida-kun~

Speaking of Japanese voice-actors (...?). Kida-kun's voice is the very same voice-actor playing  Kira in Death Note, haha, and Tamaki in Ouran High School Host Club. This is actually kinda funny because Kira (this supercool, smart villain) and Tamaki (this shallow and kinda pathetic "prince") couldn't be much more different from each other.

And on another note: I think I know why I like Kida-kun. He shares some similarities with my Kei. They're sneaky and irregular in the same all-over-the-place kinda way. Only thing is Kida-kun's outbursts are more planned. He does what he does purposely. Kei on the other hand does it more accidentally.

Yes. I speak of fictional characters as if they actually existed and I knew them.

But I created Kei, so I do know him. In some way. And I'm weird so you'll just have to forgive this pathetic reasoning.

Some day.... I'll make something. A comic or a story or... And then you'll all get to meet Kei and his friends more accurately.  I guess he's just some vague thing I occasionally mention. Sorry for confusing you. It's just that to me he is very important (like a imaginary best friend or pet or hobby or idol, I don't know) and sometimes he just jumps out.

I'll shut up and go to bed now.

(Kida-kun is a character in the anime "Durarara!!" btw, in case you wanted to know. So far it's a fairly fun anime.) 

Hallooooo~

It's snowing!
Me, Mom, Lynnie and Tussi decided to go for a little walk in the snow. And when we came back we decided to walk it once more. It was a teeny tiny one.
But OMG there was some mysterious tracks there, like if someone had been there before us! Whoever could it be?
Teeheehee~

Waka waka

I really do not care for football or sports at all. I mean instead of making the whole world watch some sweaty guys running after and fighting for a ball we could just buy 22 balls and give them one each? XP
I mean no offense.

But then again I am pro everything that unites the world in some way. Come World Cup, come Olympic Games, come Eurovision Song Contest.

And I must admit that I like the soundtrack of this year's world cup. Especially this one song that I absolutely LOVE. It's got this cheerful and encouraging rhythms, you can't help but feel better. And the lyrics doesn't necessarily have to be about football:

You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
Get back in the saddle

You're on the front line
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isn't over

The pressure is on
You feel it
But you got it all
Believe it
....

For me, they tell me to withstand life's difficulties and never to give up, but take up the fight. I need that sort of lyrics sometimes.
It's interesting really how important music is to me. Music is my therapy.

And as usual with Shakira; I prefer the Spanish version of her songs.



Apparently "waka waka" is an expression in Fang, a Cameroon dialect, for "Do it" or "Get the task done".
