It's was so fun. I couldn't stop doing it last night. Hahaha. I was up til 1am :P Anyway, I'm moving back to Southern California. The reason is, my Uncle who we're living with right now. His company is doing layoffs. And he was one of them. And he was in contract with them. So now he has to go back to the philippines :( It's really sad. I hate our economy. It's Bush's fault. I bet you anything he planned this shit way from the start. Wait, I take that back, he's an idiot. I blame the treasury department. Lying greedy shitface bastards. So that's the story. We gotta pack this week. Moving with my dad. Actually, he's renting us a room until we can find a job down there :( So hopefully my blog will kick it off so I can make money from it T.T Anyway, here are the things I did last night :)

Harry Potter dolls.

This ones from makeovers. They're so cute!

This Friendship Offering was given to me by my new friend, MsRay

...and lovely are the blossoms
that are tended with great care
by those who work unselfishly
to make the place more fair.
And, like the garden of blossoms,
Friendship's flower grows more sweet
when watched and tended carefully
by those we know and meet.
And, if the seed of friendship
is planted deep and true
and watched with understanding,
Friendship's flower will bloom for you.

How I got a .com domain for $1.99

2008-11-13T00:01:00.000-08:00

Have you wanted a .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, or .us domain name? Well I'll tell you how I got mine for $1.99.

Believe it or not. Yahoo is hosting my .com domain. http://harajukuqueen.com/
It's still undergoing construction. And I wish to transfer my blog on there. But first I gotta learn quite a few more website necessities. Anyway. Back to the topic.

First. If you're signed in in your yahoo mail. Sign out.
Then go here.
Sign up for a new account.
Choose your domain name. Carefully! :)

http://i37.tinypic.com/359fot5.jpg

Get the first year ONLY!

http://i35.tinypic.com/34j7k9x.jpg

On the next page it's gonna ask you to sign into your yahoo account. I suggest you make a new account so that you'll have it separate from everything else. It won't be so confusing. In the check out. Make sure you go for paypal! So whatever happens you won't have any reoccuring charges on your account. Of course this won't happen if you transfer/renew your domain @ sites like godaddy.com which is alot cheaper as they go around $10, rather than yahoo. Their renewal charges is $30+. But for the first year your absolutely safe!

And there you go! Enjoy. And don't forget to renew before your exp. date! <333>

Updated. New theme and everything else :P

2008-11-10T21:14:00.000-08:00

Ah! I know so late!

I know I know. I've been doing my website. I'm sure you've noticed. But I'm still updating it. I wanna change the color scheme. So I'm starting the banner from scratch then work from there. But other than that. I like the look and feel of the site. What do you think? Well anyway. I've been reading lately :P As always. Last night actually, me and bf watched this movie called Premonition. It was alright. But the whole thing was ridiculous. I mean have you ever heard a person going through a glass wall? You know sliders near the kitchen. Insane right? Anyway, we finished that. And then started watching Fruits Basket. And he doesn't agree with me that Yuki is totally hot. He said he looks like a girl. Whatever, he's just jealous. Haha x3 I like the anime. But I think he got bored because there's not action. And then he complains that I don't watch anime with him. The reason I don't is `cuz the animes I like are different from his. You know? Mine are the mushy type like His and Her Circumstances. Oohh that anime is so cute. I gotta watch it again. Oh and Chobits! I totally love Sumomo! She's so adorable! <3 Anyway, after we watched Fruits Basket, I got tired and fell asleep. Bf is still sick from the flu. So sad =/ But I guess he's getting better. Anyway, today. Me and my daughter were playing. So I started taking videos of her. Haha. It's funny. But I'll only show to people that I like :P Private and all that. Ha. Anyway, I think that's it. Nothing too exciting. I'm tired right now. I'm so bored. My eyes are droopy. But it's only 9pm! WTF!? Damn daylights saving thing. Messed up my internal clock. Night everyone! I promise to reply to all link exchange request and update the list tomorrow <3333

A Certain Slant of Light Review.

2008-11-10T20:58:00.000-08:00

A Certain Slant of Light.
by Laura Whitcomb

Summary.

In the class of the high school English teacher she has been haunting, Helen feels them: for the first time in 130 years, human eyes are looking at her. They belong to a boy, a boy who has not seemed remarkable until now. And Helen-terrified, but intrigued-is drawn to him. The fact that he is in a body and she is not presents this unlikely couple with their first challenge. But as the lovers struggle to find a way to be together, they begin to discover the secrets of their former lives and of the young people they come to possess.

Review.

Whitcomb writes a different kind of ghost story. A compelling mix of love, death, heaven and hell. Whitcomb juggles numerous narrative and thematic devices with astonishing skill, all the more remarkable in a first-time novelist: first love and grown-up grief; the stirrings of sexual passion after an incalculable loss; blame, betrayal and forgiveness; the power of art to redeem even those who seem irrevocably damaged. A Certain Slant of light is a young adult fiction with astonishing grown-up themes and language. It won't disappoint.

The Host Review.

2008-11-07T09:23:00.000-08:00

"Science Fiction for people who don't like Science Fiction."

Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away.

Our world has been invaded by an unseen enemy. Humans become hosts for these invaders, their minds taken over while their bodies remain intact and continue their lives apparently unchanged. Most of humanity has succumbed.

When Melanie, one of the few remaining "wild" humans is captured, she is certain it is her end. Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, was warned about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming emotions, the glut of senses, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish possession of her mind.

Wanderer probes Melanie's thoughts, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the remaining human resistance. Instead, Melanie fills Wanderer's mind with visions of the man Melanie loves—Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself from her body's desires, Wanderer begins to yearn for a man she has been tasked with exposing. When outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off on a dangerous and uncertain search for the man they both love.
My Review.

I stayed up all night reading her book. I couldn't put it down. Still with 5 hours of sleep I'm here writing about it.

Stephenie Meyer, loved for her YA Vampire series the Twilight Saga, even said to have followed in J.K. Rowling's foot steps by Wall Street Journal, inspires us with her first Adult Novel, The Host. Compelling work full of love, hate, betrayal blending it with science fiction and awkward romance that work so well together. Earth invaded by parasites. Latching their silvery selves to our brains. They are called Souls, they invade our bodies and erase our personalities making it their own. But one refuses to give up, even after being caught and turning into them. A Soul called Wanderer has been implanted to Melanie Stryder, one of the last humans to remain themselves on earth. Wanderer is a kind of celebrity in her own species, having inhabited many hosts and planets. But inhabiting a human body is unlike anything she has experienced. She soons finds out that Melanie isn't about to give up just yet. Soon she is overwhelmed by Melanie's memories and forced to reconnect with her old life.

As a fan, I simply don't read books about aliens. But I guess she just changed my mind, along with her vampire novels which I also didn't have a taste for. Thank you Stephenie Meyer, for changing my mind :]

Review enveeto.com Contest

2008-11-06T10:48:00.000-08:00

Enveeto.com is managed by Teo En Vee. It's a personal and part-professional blog. He mostly talks about his life, his work and above all cars. So what do I have to say about this site? Will it be good or bad? Well a good review wouldn't be good if it didn't have any criticism around it wouldn't it? So let's get on with it.

The Positive Side.
The quirks of the site is that it is highly informative. If you're like me, a bimbo at cars then this is a place go go. Learning is always a good thing right? It's like a online site for Dumbies for Cars :] On the lighter note, you won't just be fumbling in the dark if you have questions. Unlike books, there's a person to ask questions to. Did I convince you enough? It's a good blog to follow and you should.

The Negative Side.
As there are positives, there are also negatives. Equal balance and all that. The layout of the site is pretty...well, boring. White on white isn't the best layout out there. The text is too big. And it takes to long to scroll down to the bottom. My first impression on the site is that, the ads are overwhelming. For every post is just a little too much. I'd suggest to put the ads at the bottom or on the side. It could also use a little more organizing.

But for a new blog, it's pretty good. Enough talk and just take a look for yourself :]

I just joined the SOTM December contest @ sweetposh[dot]com. I think the site's really cute. Miss Yesha has a really nice attitude and she's pretty :33 Anyway, I love everything japanese. And the site is the cuteness <3

The Cat Returns

2008-11-05T20:17:00.001-08:00

The Cat Returns is a movie by Studio Ghibli. I simply love their movies. Especially the ones by Hayao Miyazaki. They're so different and refreshing from all the crap that the human population come up with. Anyway, this is about a fantasy world of cats. Haru finds herself trapped in the Cat Kingdom and is saved by the Baron. This is one of my favorites next to Howl's moving castle. If you love cats this is the movie to watch :333

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Harry Potter Series by the talented J.K.Rowling.

- I know it's kind of cliche but it's just so darn cool! God bless Rowling for going on that train and Harry Potter falling on her head. Not only will this series last out generation. But I'm quite sure it'll still be a hit for the future.
For those who have been under a rock and don't know who Harry Potter is. Let me tell you a brief introduction. At the age of 11 Harry Potter a boy from the suburbs in Britain learns he's a wizard. He goes on different adventures, the battle between good and evil, friendship and love all throughout Rowling's 7 books. And might I put it, she did a very nice job for the ending. So if you want to get hooked on a series. Harry Potter is the way to go.

Twilight Saga by the talented Stephenie Meyer.

- At first I was just curious. It's so likely for people to make movies out of books lately, that I thought all of them just sucked :P But there was a big buzz about the movie that I bought the first of the series. Twilight. The very first of the series got me hooked. And soon I read all four. If you're looking for a good thrill of vampires, love and much much more. This is the series for you. It was love at first paragraph. I never thought vampire novels could be so interesting. They're not my kind of genre you know? But this goes to say that Meyer did a superb job at her first series.

Hypocrite reader -- my fellow -- my brother!

2008-11-05T20:14:00.001-08:00

A futuristic story about a girl named Tally Youngblood. She learns about the hidden agendas of their society. Since she was a littlie all she wanted to be was a pretty. But she soon learns that not everything is about being pretty. Not everything is what it seems to be. As she learns the truth, she learns that everything is not what it seems to be. The "Trilogy" of Scott Westerfeld, this is one of the most compelling, indulging series I've read in a while. It's like being sucked in to the future, it seems so real. I just hope Tally Youngblood's future isn't ours. The next book is a guide to the series called "Bogus to Bubbly". If you're looking for something new. I suggest reading this.

House of Night (Novel) Series by PC Cast + Kristin Cast. I know there's more than enough vampire novels out there. All the more popular since the Twilight book has been made to a movie. Actually, I thank the Twilight Saga for leading me into the vampire phenomenon. Without it I wouldn't have found a soft side for it. And for say, there's not a lot of series that's worth reading. But this one is. Completely unique. Another world beyond ours. Where vampires and humans live together, acknowledge each other. But still fear each others presence. Zoey Redbird is the heroine of this series. She's an ordinary 16 year old trying to get through high school. But once she got marked her life changed forever. "Vampire finishing school" what more could you want from that? The books are phenomenal. And I'm not just saying that. From Marked til Untamed I kept reading till there was nothing left to read! And the very last one chilled my bones. If you're wondering if it's like other books were everything is about silver, and stakes and what not. It's not. This books are nothing like that. But I don't want to reveal too much. Read for yourself! I guarantee you'll love it :3

Change has come to America

2008-11-04T22:40:00.000-08:00

"Yes we can." is Barack Obama's slogan. On November 4, 2008 America has made history. First time in more than 200 years an African American has been elected as the president of the United States. Today he swept the votes 338 to 141 electoral votes.

Perhaps change is good for America. Down to the issues American is more worried about our Economy rather than the war in Iraq which is was McCain's main focus. But for Obama who focused on the middle class. People like me and many others across the united states, goes to prove that America is ready for a change. I didn't think they were. Meaning republicans. But I guess even republicans realize that this nonsense can't keep going on. Thank god he won though. I don't think I can stand living in the U.S. if McCain won. I mean don't get me wrong the man's intelligent and all. But going for an idiot for VP isn't exactly the right way to go. It also doesn't hurt if you kept agreeing with everything that Bush said. Admit it he's the worst president America has ever had. Because of him and that idiot treasurer of his that our economy is on downfall. But hopefully for our new president, hopefully he'll do what's right. Sometimes, change is good.

Here's another issue. If you live in California, you know that Proposition 8 is about banning Gay Marriage. I think that's the most unfair thing I've ever heard. What about the freedom? Just because church doesn't agree on it doesn't mean it should be banned. Faith is not taught in school. Marriage is not taught in school. And this campaign is the most ridiculous social issue ever. Love should not be discriminated.
And freedom should not be a choice.

This guy is a fucking douche bag. His name is Shepard Smith. All night tonight all he did was talk shit. He was talking shit on all the new voters. College students. A guy that needs to shave. And then he was talking shit to Ralph Nader. Honestly, he can't even understand the metaphor on Uncle Tom. It's not about being black. It's about being a puppy dog to the big companies. He was asking Obama if he's gonna step up or stay in midtown where the companies run the crowd. I hope someone shoots this guy in the head. He fucking needs it.

I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander.

Ah, just woke up. Isn't it great to wake up to a fresh cup of coffee? I loveee french vanilla cream. Anyway I have all these brillian ideas in my mind on what to write about. But I can't seem to know where to start. I know I want to fill up my Books page :3 That page is going to be full of tons and tons of ideas I have on books. I've also added a movies page. Since I tend to watch alot of movies I decided to add one. Anyway, today is election day. Republican or Democratic? Who will win? Isn't it sad that the economy is going downhill because of the idiocracy of our ex-president? I'm sorry but he's a total redneck idiot. He's a disgrace on the whole American population. I think, whoever will win won't make any difference if the stock goes out of control. Unless they find a way to get good investors on our end then I think it's safe to say that we'll be soon going into a Depression.
Funny huh? Last time it happened Roosevelt saved America. But we haven't had an intelligent president like him since Clinton. But no, American said no to him because he cheated. So fucking what? People make mistakes all the time. If he stayed president we wouldn't be in this stupid mess. And our friends and family in Iraq wouldn't be suffering. WE wouldn't be suffering.
Whatever. America, wake up. You need to stop discriminating, being selfish and think. THINK.

People die, but books never die.

A bit dramatic. Yes, but hey. It gets to the point. So, you're probably wondering who's worthless blog this is. Well, I'm actually not that worthless :P I'm pretty interesting in my opinion. I mean, I do read alot. I'll probably be reviewing and recomending books through my blog now. I'm one of those people that actually research the books before reading. And not just looking at the bestsellers. I mean ACTUALLY researching. And you're probably saying, god this chick talks alot. I don't even know her name! Sorry, I get sidetracked alot. Okay, for privacy purposes I'll use my nickname instead. I'm Luna, 19 years young and a mom. I have a fiancee. My daughter and him are the most important thing in my life. So now you know. Click on the links on my navigation bar for details and what not :3
