Woah... It's been forever since my last post! So f-list, how are you doing? Have I missed much? Tell me about yourself. ♥

A lot has happened since I last took the time to write something here. So have a summary:

★ For the first time ever, I've passed all my January exams in one go! I feel so proud of myself since I really didn't think I would be able to do it. I'm still so happy about this. Maybe I won't have to retake any exams this year? Would that even be possible? Oh boy, I definitely hope so!! Anyway, we're kind of in the middle of the second semester now. I have a lot of new classes (well they don't exactly feel new anymore since the semester has started something like five weeks ago but w/e) and most of them are pretty cool. What's not so cool, though, is the crazy amount of homework we have: it's as if I were back in primary school! ಥ◡ಥ I barely get enough sleep because of everything I want have to do. But that might also have to do with the fact that...

★ I spent so much time playing video games in February! I've finished Catherine (got two endings: the true lover and the good cheater ones), restarted FFXIII (chapter 11 will be the death of me) and I've also begun Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom which is my latest obsession and I REGRET NOTHING. At first I thought this game would be sort of my new guilty pleasure (as in 'very very guilty') but it's just that good: I've already gotten four different endings and I plan on getting a fifth one reaaally soon (at least as soon as uni lets me). Last but not least, I've also started playing Devil Survivor 2. I'm only 20 minutes in so it's hard to say something about it but I hope it'll be as good as the first game. ◕◡◕

★ It's been five years since my boyfriend and I started dating! I'm super happy about it because we had a very lovey dovey week haha. We went to the restaurant a few days ago, to celebrate, and the food was great. ♡

★ K-pop related... I'm sooo sad! Super Junior is coming to Paris (merely 300km from my place) in less than a month now and I won't go and see them. It's just too damn expensive. The ticket is 111€ (I'm sorry what? Why? How?) and in itself it's already quite a price but whatever, it would have been worth it. But you have to add the train tickets and the night in a hotel to that already expensive price. I think in the end it would've cost me something like 300€? For a single night? As much as it breaks my heart, no thank you. (But Kyuhyun. sob.) Boyfriend told me we could watch one of their DVDs together instead. (Pretty sure he will regret this. :D)

So I guess that's it! I still have other things to talk about buuuut I have to do some things for uni so blogging will have to wait. :3 Take care everyone! ♥

Day 3 - A game that is underrated.
Easy one: Shadow Hearts Covenant. That game is possibly one of the best I've ever played and yet few people have had the chance to try it out. It's everything a good RPG has to be: the gameplay is pure gold, keeping you alert at all times, the story is absolutely perfect (loads of funny moments mixed with pure horror anyone?) and I won't even talk about the characters. ;~; TBH, I miss this game terribly, haha.

Honorable mentions: the Persona series and The World Ends With You come to mind. But basically every game that hasn't been translated in French where I live.

(The remaining questions.)

Day 2 - Your favorite character.
I don't really have a favorite character. I have tons of them. Have my favorite cast instead. ;~;


Namely, the P3 scoubi gang. ♡ Mitsuru Kirijo and Junpei Iori are my absolute favorites. But then I love Aigis and the protagonist too (whether it's a he or a she). So there.

Honorable mentions: Zidane Tribal (FFIX), Fran (FFXII), Sora (Kingdom Hearts), Silver (Pokémon).

(The remaining questions.)

(I've been back for a few days actually but nevermind.)

So, London. It was SUPER DUPER EXTRA COOL, and way too short. We only stayed there for three days. ;~; Beware the long report. ) I think it was about 11 pm when we got back to my place. :3 Three days were definitely not enough to see London but it was still super awesome. If I get Photoshop back, I might post a few pictures. ❀◕◡◕❀

And before going to bed, here's a meme to keep me posting for a month. Stole it from [personal profile] napple. I still don't know if I'll be able to post every single day but I will try, I guess?

Day 1 - Very first video game.
Theoretically that would be Richard Scarry's Best Neighborhood Disc Ever! which was sort of an educational game for little kids. I was about 5, I think? (Maybe even 4?) I'm pretty sure nobody's ever heard about it. It was on CD-i and it was super cuuute. I loved the music. SO MUCH. ;~; (Beware, the video's in French and it's old, old, ooold.)

You can't say that's the game that really got me into video games, though. That would be Crash Bandicoot 2 and Final Fantasy IX. ♥ Pretty sure I'll have the opportunity to talk about them later with this meme, though. Here are the questions btw:

So yeah. I've taken two of my exams on Friday and now I have only one left next Wednesday! I think I did really well in Oral business communication strategies in French. Economic and Social History, on the other hand... I don't think I failed but it sure isn't going to be brilliant. ヽ(・∇・)ノ So now I'm really exhausted. Mainly because I've been reading book two of The Farseer Trilogy (I've just started book three) when I was supposed to sleep. Oh and because I've been studying too, obviously. Erm. ◕◡◕

I've finally watched Vampire Diaries' last episode and I'm sooo disappointed. I love the show and all but I really don't like the direction it's going. So far, season 3 has been a real let-down. Spoilers and drama. )

Anyway. Musicwise, I'm in love with T-ara's concept for Lovey Dovey. It's just so fashionable. o///o I'm still not a big fan of the song (tbh, I've never been fond of T-ara, mainly because Jiyeon always looks so BORED when performing) but the dance is fun and their outfits are really cool. Especially in yesterday and today's performances.

And since I've decided to go to London, I spend a lot of time on this website. It is now crystal-clear that three days is never going to be enough because I want to do so many things! I've booked a hotel that's really just next to King's Cross station so it'll be really easy to move in the city. Ahhh, there's less than two weeks left before going! I can't wait. ◕◡◕

First, a warm welcome to my new friends from the Livejournal to Dreamwidth friending meme: [personal profile] chrestomanci, [personal profile] koyuki, [personal profile] mandaffodil, [personal profile] napple, [personal profile] soundbrighter and [personal profile] zone. I hope we'll all get along even though I'm pretty sure it'll be the case. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Here are a few things you might want to know about me:
★ I'm kind of internetless 5 days a week because I don't stay at home from Mondays to Fridays. (Living in a flat near college is totally rad but it's not always super handy.) I can still go to computer rooms but I'm usually too lazy busy to do so.
★ Last September I got my Bachelor's Degree in Modern Languages (English/Spanish/Italian) and I'm now doing a Master's Degree in Multilingual Business Communication (English/French). It's awesome. \o/ (Even though I still don't really know what I'll be doing after that but let's not worry about it right now.)
★ During my free time I mostly: hang out with friends, play videogames, read and cook. \o/
★ I also have a tumblr which I spam update quite often... usually during classes. I'M A BAD GIRL OKAY.
That's about it but if you wanna know more about me, feel free to ask whatever comes to mind! :D

Anyway. I'm rereading Assassin's Apprentice and I can't believe how I had missed it. Robin Hobb is really one of my favorite writers, if only for her Farseer Trilogy. My love for some of the characters is endless (Verity ;_;) and my hate for some others (Regal) is, well. I will soon finish book one but I don't know if I can start book two just yet, with my exams being around the corner (there's less than a week now before the first ones... bleh).

I can't really complain about my exams, though. I'm only taking three of them during the session and I'll be free by January 12. :3 And a week after that, I'm going to LONDON! I'm so happy, I can't wait! We'll be going with my boyfriend, for two days. If you have any places to recommend, please do tell! ♥

Last but not least, 2011 with a meme )

With that said, I wish you all the best for the year to come! ♥ May you have a wonderful time for New Year's Eve!
