It's too late to be blogging at this time, so I shall tell you about what I did today tomorrow. :)

I'm just posting this so I don't lose out on the blog challenge; I'm still going strong!

Night. xx

Hiya everyone, I'm back again but this time I'm bringing a new layout with me too. I really like the colour scheme this layout has, its much more simplistic when compared with the old one and it has a warm feeling about it.

My new layout features a Sakura render. I would like to say that I do not claim ownership over any CLAMP characters and that I'm just a big fan. :)

I've deleted several pages out of my site and I no longer offer graphics, there are tons of resource sites that are custom made just to offer avatars and all that jazz. Plus I don't want my bandwidth eaten by direct linkers! If you don't know what direct linking is this article should help (external link).

At the moment I'm going through my site and picking through the pages. Some of the articles I have written are from 2006 (woah!), those are the really bad ones that haven't been spell checked or proof read so I'm working on editing them.

Bye for now

Just in case you were wondering where I have been, I have one word for you. College. College has taken up most of my time recently, from typing my UCAS personal statement to the endless amounts of homework, revision and coursework. The only thing that has kept me going is the idea that all this will pay off when I hopefully get into University.

I went to a Hallam open day with Chris and it was great. We attended a presentation about the English courses Hallam has to offer and all I can say is that I am really excited to do a BA in English Language! Afterwards we went around town and got a sandwich at subway; we were ambushed by numerous amounts of charities along the way. I gave money to a fire fighter to help the children’s hospital. All the fire fighters were doing a sponsored ladder climb or something.

I haven’t been online much at all to be honest. But now I hope to get some decent updates done to Kihugs. I really want to write another “Students Tale”. :)

On a random note, I’ve had my hair cut so I need to put a more update picture of myself in the about me section. The picture I’ve already put there is a crumby webcam one so it’s all fuzzy. Haha

Bye for now

Hiya, I'm currently updating the layout on my sites Version7:Sakura Love layout. I've completed all the blog pages and now I just need to update the content pages. Please be patient! Thank you.

I'm currently at college and sat next to my friend Flow aka Shola, you may remember her from my previous blogs. (Shola is too cool for old school!) She's happy that I'm bigging her up in my blogs. :3

Again, I apologize for the delay but I have to manually code each subpage and it gives me RSI. ^^

I've been quite busy today. I woke up at 9, which is very early for me, due to the fact that the postman was ringing the doorbell repeatedly. I finally managed to drag myself out of bed to accept a parcel from him that was way to big to fit through the door. I bashed it against the banister on the stairs and nearly fell over the stupid thing. I'm not a morning person and going back to college is defiantly going to make things worse.

I can just see it now, being bogged down with work and revision. Oh, joy. The only person that manages to keep me from going completely insane there is Shola. Seriously, if it wasn't for my friend I think I'd become even more of a hermit then I am now. Actually I should withdraw that comment, I don't want people thinking I have no life. Trust me though, college eats all your time up. Or should I say, High school for all you American readers. I'm confused. :s

I've felt a bit of empowerment with Kihugs today. I've deleted all of the dead link affiliates! God knows what happened to the rule that affiliates are supposed to keep in touch. They must think that once you have linked them then that's it, they don't have to mention you or talk to you. Why on earth then should I even be advertising their lazy asses?!

I've decided that now I'm just going to have links on the side that I like visiting (blog roll) and who comment me regulary (Top affiliates). I will also still link swap and advertise with people but I'm sorry to those affiliates who got deleted. Well actually I'm not, you got deleted because basically you were nothing to Kihugs. I get better comments from people who aren't even affiliates!

Thanks to this article about Teen-bopperitis on Ubiquitous I have now seen where I have gone wrong in even wanting to be "affiliated" with sites like these. There are loads of these sites and I can see how annoying they can be for people to have to view. They are basically filled up with page fodder (like random facts *yawn*) and there is nothing worthwhile that I want to take back from a site like that.

Honestly, I don't care what your pets look like, whether they are dead or on holiday. People don't want to know 20 random facts about you, like the fact that you don't like broccoli.

I also agree that when people do this its just plain annoying:


The whole raping your eyes with underlining, italics and bolding is just aggravating. Saying random words to display interests is something these people love to do. I still can't really understand why.

You should head over to Crystals site and see what I mean about this.

The funny thing is, is that I used to look up to sites like these and want mine to be just like them, I soon changed my mind about that! When you get right down to it, all they offer is the same content. Stolen celebrity images seems to be their favourites. "Omgz I has liek these k0Ol blendz, no stealin!" Seriously?! X_x

Edward Cullen equals love. I can see what all the fuss was about now, that book was brilliant. I already want to start reading New Moon. :D
I literally couldn't put the book down, it was so good and it tricks the reader by making them fall in love with the character Edward. Vampires have never been so smexy! haha.

I got my hair dyed pink again and also finally got my fringe cut shorter. Its better now, it doesn't attack my eye every time I turn around now. I will put a picture up of me when I can be bothered to take one! I have to wait till the day time to take a pic off my web cam because the lighting isn't all that great. ^^"

I got my exam results, I did pretty good actually. I just had a couple of let downs but I will have to resit a couple of units probably to improve them marks. I'm really proud that I got a B in my English Language exams. :D

I bought that Lucky Star pencil case that I wanted off Ebay! It cost me over £6 which was just over 11 dollars on Ebay. Not so bad considering it was from China and it had to be air mailed!
This is a picture of it, click for a bigger version. Please note that the bunny was not included! haha

Not long till I'm getting my hair dyed! Yay. :) I should probably be thinking about more important things such as the matter of my exam results. :o I'm really hoping for good results but I guess I can only hope. This is the worst part after exams in my opinion, the massive waiting period in which your mental strength is tested. Did you do well? Or did you screw up big time!

I've finished reading, "Angus, thongs and full-frontal snogging" and "It's okay I'm wearing really big knickers" already! It didn't take me that long, so I'm going to order the next book probably pretty soon. It seems like all I do lately is read, it's too hot to go outside.

Chris is coming round tomorrow and we are going to what Lord of the rings the second film. I've already seen the first one. Chris nearly fell backwards and made this "wtf?" kind of face when I said to him that I'd never seen the Lord Of the rings. Its just one of those films that never really interested me when it came out. However, I have seen it in a different light. I kept giggling all the way through the film and making funny voices over the characters. hehe. I have a low attention span sometimes.
Apparently I make cake-faces a lot to according to Chris. They look like this: :3
It's okay, it just means I'm cute right? O_o

Oh well I'm not that bothered, but I can't seem to stop looking at my mouth now! He's made conscious of my cake face. Cake face ftw!
I've been chatting to Shola today on msn, thank God for msn it really is a saviour. I was getting quite bored and then I got a message from her. I was saved! haha

I forgot to mention that my dad has bribed me. He says, for every A I get in my exam results I get a tenner. So that means I could get maximum of £40! Woo!
He said that B's are worth £5 and C's are worth a measly £1. I then said to him wouldn't it have been better if he had bribed me before the exams, but he just said that the thought of money would have made me loose concentration. Pfft!

I still need to start reading "Twilight" apparently it is really good, but I'll be the judge of that haha. :)

I added a new affiliate today, so check out her site.

That's it for today's ramblings.

Bye xxxx

Last week was a pretty good week for me. I went out with Shola to Graves Park and we had a laugh. It was such a nice day and we took quite a few pictures which I uploaded on my Myspace of course. It was funny because we got to watch these crazy ducks gang up on this one duck. I kind of felt sorry for it. We also went out and saw the film, "Angus, thongs and perfect snogging". It was a great film and defo one that you should should take your friends to go see. I would just like to say that me and Shola are Stiff Dylans fans and proud. After the film we decided to go and get Myflurrys and I swear we had the dumbest person there serving us. It took him forever to count out 2 pence in change. Seriously, how hard can it be to pull a lever and get ice-cream. I felt like jumping over the counter and fetching them myself! Bad service.

I applied for Kihugs to be reviewed by a couple of sites today and I'm looking forward to what they think of this site! A 3 out of 5 would make me happy to be honest. I've been web-designing for quite a long time and I still get a buzz when one of my college friends mentions Kihugs! :)
I haven't done much else to Kihugs lately, other than join some more fanlistings. I think I'm like addicted to them things. I just love all the cute little buttons haha.

I've just remembered I need to do a review for my Myspace blog on Lucky Star (anime series). Meh, I just write on there when it suits me really. But the blogs on there are considerably different to the ones on Kihugs. Much more about life matters and stuff that I feel comfortable with my friends reading. You know what I mean. :)

Well I'm going now, as yet I again I am blogging in the early hours of the morning.

Bye bye. Mwah. xxxx <3

Ahh! I'm excited. Just been ordering myself a cute necklace. Check him out! He is so cute and small. :3
It seems like all I do lately is Internet shop. Since its the summer holidays I get a little bored in the day and can't resist either logging onto Ebay or Play to see what I can buy! I have to admit I'm hooked when it comes to kawaii jewellery.

I so want this pencil case I've seen on Ebay. It features the funny character Konata Izumi from the anime series Lucky Star. :) She has to be one of my favourite anime characters. In many ways she reminds me of myself, sarcastic but always joking around. Even though Chris says I look like Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket! So you could say that I've got traits of Tohru and Konata. haha :3
I Wouldn't mind being Tohru though seen as she gets to live with Shigure, Yuki and Kyo. I bet that's right fun! Oh and if you don't know what I'm talking about then I suggest you read up on it.

So today has been just a typical day really. I miss Chris abit, as I said before he's gone to Cornwall for a week with his family! Wah. :(
But I won't be bored for too long as I'm having a day out with my bessie Shola. She needs opinions on what she's going to wear to a party. Also we can get McFlurrys again. Choco mint flavour for me! Yum. :p
Last time we had them with a meal just because they were free; you get a free ice cream with your meal if your a college student and you show your student ID card. Pretty good, huh? However we were so full up from the meals that we didn't fancy the ice-cream. But we ate it anyway! Don't you just hate wasting things that you got for free? :s
This time I'm going to save a bit of room so I can eat it all. I love ice cream.
You know what else is nice and I apologise for the random blogging here, smoothies.
I love smoothies. I could just have one now! The one that I have is called Strawberry Squeeze and I swear it is the most yummy smoothie in England. :3
I'm all excited to go out now!
Bye bye!

Got to feel proud of myself today as I have finally integrated a blogging service with Kihugs. I heard about being able to upload blogs via Blogger to your ftp server and I decided to give it a go. This service is great as now I don't have to manually edit my homepage and then input haloscan onto it to try and make it look like a blog. hehe :)

In case you're wondering how come I didn't just use cutenews, its because my host doesn't provide php. It's not that bad as I don't really have to edit all my pages when uploading something. I'm so happy now as I can blog from college when I go back! :3

Just a quick shout out here to my best friend Shola. She has been my inspiration to keep going and I'd just like to say thanks Shola; I look forward to when you're in the best sellers list. ;D

Today has been a pretty average day. My boyfriend Chris has gone away for a week with his family in Cornwall so I'm gonna miss him. Looks like I'll have the gamecube all to myself.

I'm really happy that so many people have entered over at my site, Kawaii Awards. I've already created the award templates and the voting is due to start at then end of this month. Good Luck everyone!



Hehe, I just had to put this video up. I love Lucky Star. <3

I am pleased to announce that kihugs has returned!

Yep, I finished my exams in June and now have completed a year a college. I'm just waiting for exam results that will come in August. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, now that my first A level exams are finished.

I promised you that I would return and I noticed that in my absence some affiliates have not kept in touch, so I'm sorry but them ones are going to have to go. I've planned loads of updates that I'm going to do to Kihugs in these holidays now as I have 6 weeks off. So expect masses of content.

I've already created a new site called Kawaii Awards. It's an award site as you have probably already guessed. Winners will receive cute prizes to put on their sites and a permanent spot on the past winners page. So what are you waiting for? Check it out.

Bye bye!
