I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
Talking about last New Year's resolutions, I guess I can say I did half of them. I mean I lost about 3 kilos. I kind of was hoping for 5, but I really could't lose any more no matter how much I tried. But oh well, it seems ok as it is so I sort of gave up on it.

As for this year's resolutions, it's way too early for that. I like how the Japanese do it on the 2nd of January. Makes a lot of sense. So January second it is.

Anyway, I better go finish that game now.

I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
It's been a really hard year. Basically in my mind it's split down the middle in summer. The first half is kind of blurry. There was so much pain, both physical and mental, but right now I have no desire whatsoever to dwell on it. I've actually met with three healers and I learned some important things about myself and there was the therapy - a sheer torture that made me feel completely drained mentally and physically. And I walked away at last. But I really don't want to write about that.

I lost a lot this year, first of all in terms of people people. I severed links with most of those I was close with. There was hurt and disappointment. It was painful and it still is. I burned bridges and thus many things were lost along the way. But I don't regret a thing. For me it was the only way to move forward.

But I don't want to think of this year in a negative way. Because even though it was a lot harder than many of its predecessors it also brought a lot of progress. No pains, no gains.
For one in the process I found a person who I can really call a friend. But the most important things happened on a personal level. I grew a lot as a person. I feel like I finally began to mature properly. I was able to overcome some of my strongest fears. They might seem like small things to some, but for me, I never dreamed I'd be able to do it. I still lack a lot, but now I can work on it one step at a time. It's like this giant hole that was inside me is almost gone.

Then there was the new fandom which is something I'm really happy about. It was a great timing. It was a breath of fresh air after all the lawsuit bullshit early in the year. They are truly wonderful and I grew to love them a lot. And then there's the new OTP which really means a lot to me. In a way Shou and Tora are the first Japanese that I can really relate to. And the fact that they have passed through the dark times and came into the light is something very important to me. And apart from the band itself I've met some really nice people. Even if we can't talk normally, I still treasure these relationships.

So basically thought there were some really tough times there were also some great things, like spending a great Birthday, seeing Gackt live and celebrating a Chuseok on my block. And these are the memories from this year that what I want to remember and cherish. Even though this year I don't have any special achievements I can boast I feel like I've made tremendous progress on my own terms and that now I am finally able to advance into the world.

Next year I want to build many new bridges and begin to put all those things I have learned to practice. I don't want to make any loud resolutions, I'll advance by my own pace. I know it won't be easy, it's still far from it. For the first time in my life I have this perfectly groundless feeling that somehow I'm going to be alright.

Дорогие ПЧ!

Не буду удручать вас длинным постом, хотя, как вы могли заметить, краткость на мой конек)

После я напишу пост побольше, для себя. А пока несколько слов для тех, кому не безразлично.

Для меня этот год был очень тяжелым. Как физически, так и морально. Но я не буду об этом. Очень много мостов было сожжено в этом году. Много людей также осталось позади, я бы даже сказала большинство. Мне было больно обрывать связи, да и сейчас бывает больно. Но я не жалею об этом, иначе было нельзя. В общем... Хочу поблагодарить всех, кто был со мной в этом году, даже если только мысленно. Тех, кто все еще молча меня читает и особенно тех, кто хоть изредка оставляет комментарии. Для меня это много значит. Что же касается меня... Я в порядке. Возможно даже более чем когда либо. У меня пока еще далеко не все хорошо, но впервые в жизни у меня появилось чувство, что это обязательно будет.

С Новым Годом!))

The amount of HoMin in my LJ friendlist is getting annoying. Also I kind of wonder whether Yunho became less handsome or is it just that I stopped liking him altogether. Changmin looks the same though.

I really enjoyed the show as always. Maybe I expected more and hoping that all members will be on, but it was still good. Tora looked really tired, probably a lot of work towards the end of the year. The Black Period footage was good. Looks like the tour went really well. And the digest was purely epic. I laughed like crazy all the way. Although it seems to me Saga and Nao's reactions were a little unlikely. Something I really enjoyed was seeing Tora laugh so much. You don't get to see it often. In was a good feeling reviewing all those moments once again especially the second half of it since I began watching A9 Channel live in June. And even if in reality there isn't any difference whether to watch a show live or not it still makes me feel special knowing I got to share those moments with them.

I was a tiny bit upset about Hiroto being an MVP though. I mean I really don't get it. I kind expected it to be Saga or even Nao but him? Why did he get 36%?

It's been 5 days but still haven't heard from her. It worries me a little. That town should have the internet, right?

I activated the super-speed feature so I'll be able to watch the broadcast! The sad thing is though Shou said he won't be there. ((( Saga and Nao supposed to be there which is fair but I was so hoping they will all be on. But with the show you never know, really so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This sucks big time: I guess I won't be able to watch Alice9 Channel tomorrow. My mum used up all the traffic. I was so looking forward to it and it's a NY special too. Maybe I could active a special service. Hmm... I'll have to see into that.

The good thing is though: I installed Sony Vegas and now it;s time for magic. I have the music and the footage so hopefully I'll make this video overnight! Yosh!

Damn, I can't believe it's just 2 days until the end of the year. For an OCD victim like me it;s a bit scary. I know there's no way I can finish everything I wanted to but I should at least try to do as much as possible. I also really wanted to finish the game, but I dragged it for too long so I'm not sure about that. And of course there are the end-of-the-year posts that I might as well start writing now because it sure as hell will take long. Yosh!

Ah, finally watched the last episode. As of now Season 3 is unlikely so...

I quite liked the anime. I don't really watch shounen-ai, but it was pretty good. I can't say the plot was very engaging and the main story line especially sort of pissed me off since it wasn't going anywhere but basically it's just about normal human emotions, gay or straight. The issue of finding balance in work and personal life, the insecurity about a relationship and coming to terms with one's feelings are very easy to identify with.

Initially I had the problem of telling characters apart. In fact took me some time to realize there is more than one plotline. XDD What? They all look basically the same: big seme and smaller uke. A sneaky trick, btw: the uke looks like he's barely 17 but he's actually 30. Well, the characters are kind of boring and very standard. But the anime was nice to watch. It's nicely drawn and quite touching. Plus I like to learn about something while watching and in this case it was interesting to see how mangas are put together.

I was a little worried that just like with the first season the main plotline won't be resolved and in a way it didn't but somehow I really liked the last episode. Suddenly after two seasons you finally see the other side's point of view and it all makes sense in a strange way. Somehow is was really touching. Even though there was no conclusion it's ok because in life there isn't one, really.

I won't be too hopeful, but it'd be nice if they make Season 3 sometime.
