I just had to drive Daniel to the emergency room because his heart rate was over 200 beats per minute. 

I'm hoping he'll be fine, the doctors are having difficulty bringing his heart rate down despite having injected him with a bunch of medications. 

They informed me that they'll need to put him to sleep in order to shock his heart with some electricity in order to bring back his heart rate stable since the drugs aren't doing anything at all. 

We were immediately admitted at 11:30PM and have been here for two hours and counting. 

Awww~ How cute :3

We had a slight tremor of an earthquake here in Montréal just a few minutes ago. I was in doubt at first, but a whole bunch of people on Twitter quickly confirmed it as well. When in doubt, check Twitter to see if anyone else felt it.

I think I sensed it before we had the earthquake though, then everything shook for a few milliseconds and all was back to normal again.

I'm curious to know how strong that was since it was just a rumble.

I love one of my professors at McGill dearly and adore her so 

One of my East Asian professors and I were discussing about how I did subtitling for another East Asian professor of mine and she thought that it was so cool that I could do fansubbing. When I told her that I fansubbed Arashi variety shows, she answered with "Arashi? I know them! Even in my old age, I know of them! You fansub one of their variety shows? Awesome!"

I think I mentioned that I still loved doing it despite it being illegal to do so and she replied "legal smegal". She mentioned it was a really good way to build up my Japanese vocabulary and mentioned that I should go to Japan if I ever get the chance.

To which I informed her that I really wanted to go there but my grades where nowhere high enough to be allowed to go as an exchange student and now I would no longer be eligible since this is my last year at the university.

She enthusiastically said there were many opportunities that I could go to Japan and it didn't have to be solely based on grades. She explained that she would do everything in her power to get me to go to Japan if I truly wished to go there 

My jaw dropped and for the first time ever, I felt completely happy and euphoric at the prospect of being able to go to Japan. We'll be discussing details and to what kind of programs I could join, but the dream of going to Japan is so much closer with the aide of this magnificient professor of mine 

I've been trying to catch a photo of the cardinal on camera for a really long time...

AND I FINALLY CAUGHT HIM (males are always brighter in color) ON CAMERA~



He's got a red honeysuckle berry in his mouth 

I stumbled upon this video today and have been playing it for the past few hours because it amuses me to no end.



I've always loved the Cookie Monster 

For those who are, on the off chance, want the video, I've ripped the HD mp4 version: COOKIE!

Yaaaaaaaaaay~!

Congratulations to us Slytherins who won the Inaugural House Cup on Pottermore!!

Awesome day! First I read on that Sailor Moon was slated to get an anime remake directed to the original fans next summer, and now this!!



Even better was this:



*cackles happily*

I had both of these pokemon plushies commissioned by first_mate_kate from pkmncollectors back in the month of February and got them today 



Here's another adorable picture of Linoone 



And here's one of Oshawott 

I was ecstatic to receive an e-mail from Pottermore saying that it was available to everyone now~

My username is: ScarletStone30118 [please leave me a comment if you plan to add me!!]

My wand is beech with dragon core, twelve and a half inches, reasonably supple 



The Sorting Hat placed me in the house of Slytherin and I burst out laughing~



I swear I wasn't even trying to get into that particular house and answered the questions honestly, so I burst out laughing when I landed in this house since my close friend said I would be in the house of Slytherin. Looks like she was right :3

The first Saturday in the month of May is considered as "Free Comic Book Day"~

It's an event where you get to go to your comic book store and pick up some free comics! Not only that, but many of the things inside the store is on sale at a discounted price 

I was amused that there were cosplayers at the event as well, they provided endless entertainment for the people who were waiting in line to get their comics. Thankfully, it wasn't a very hot day and it was quite breezy~


There was an incident where someone accidentally dropped their bags of French fries and then chaos ensued. Seagulls were circling around the food and some brave cosplayers tried to take them down... Unfortunately, there was no ammo in it... 


Dad was so cute and adorable when he wanted me to take a picture of him with the Stormtroopers from Star Wars 


My free comics that I got, there were some others that I had really wanted to get, but they were either out of stock and we were only limited to four comics each 

The Black ducks have left our makeshift pond that we had in our backyard for three weeks now because the water has evaporated from the seasonally high temperatures we had 

However, last week we had heavy rainfall which created another pond! Instead of our usual Black ducks, we got Mallard ducks 


Here's a random photo of a Robin that I was able to take a picture of when I was outside photographing the ducks 


I love the diversity of the birds we have in our backyard. One of these days, I'll be able to take a photo of that elusive Cardinal pair that we have flying around in our yard. I see them both everyday, but they fly too quickly to be caught on camera 

Please be aware that it's most likely that I will be spamming your F-list with the pictures of ducks until they leave by late April to early May.

It won't be a daily post since I'll be heading into the month of doom, but it's likely I will post more frequently than I usually would 





I feel I should name these pair of ducks since they've been visiting every year for the past few years. The male can be identified by the blue patch on his wing, the female does not have this 

My darling little Black ducks arrived early

It was only yesterday that I was pining for them to fly over to be in the backyard... Then QUACK! They're both here

That duck saw me approaching them, so it raised its head as it saw me going closer 



Apparently, I wasn't much of a threat when they realized I was the yearly crazy photographer chick and then ignored me

In regards to the title of this entry to the photo that I've uploaded here in this journal entry, yes

It really is worth a thousand words. For starters, the use of Franglais (a combination of French and English). The allusion that it uses to make it look similar to the propaganda/advertising that our public transport (STM) uses are just some of the messages this photo conveys to the public



Right now, university students across the province are against the proposed tuition hikes where the tuition fees in Quebec will increase by $325 more every year for the next five years, starting in the Fall semester of 2012 going until 2016-2017. The total tuition bill, including mandatory institutional fees, will go from $2,890 to $4,700 per year

Therefore with the increase in tuition fees, students will either need to work more or dig themselves deeper into debt. This translates to an additional 162 hours of work per year on average in order to pay off of this increase. Which will result in making university less accessible and out of reach

Several universities have

I had way too much time on my hands and had to idle seven hours away on campus in order to attend an additional screening for my professor...

So I walked around the fifth floor in the McLennan library at McGill University to take some pictures because I was texting Hope and she wanted to see the snow (since she doesn't get snow) 







This is the image you're greeted with upon entering the main entrance of McGill University

I got my iPhone 4S yesterday (February 23rd) and I was ecstatic about it because of it's awesomeness

So I really happy and was using Siri because of the TV show "The Big Bang Theory" 

But then I saw the potential bill I would be getting if I kept it which is estimated to be 72.40$ BEFORE TAXES, so it would amount to approximately 83.26$

So I went to ask a person online via the Live Chat on Bell to see if I could get a much cheaper plan for my phone...

She directed me to the webpage and that's when I saw the "Pricing details" with the "minimum value of 50$/month", and she then explained it's not possible to get a cheaper plan



I'm devastated that I have to return my iPhone because I won't be able to keep this phone due to the ridiculous billing. What saddens me even more is that I'll also need to return this gorgeous case that I had bought for the iPhone 4S as well



There was also apparently "Beauty and the Beast" playing in theaters in 3D last month! WHY WASN'T I INFORMED OF THIS 

*goes to sublimate my anger by subtitling videos for my professor as his research assistant*

I'm currently on one of the McGill library computers to idle the time away before my additional movie screening that I have with one of my professors

Guess who's keeping me company



Yup, my adorable and lovable Oshawott shimeji~!

I'm happy that I can run the program on McGill's computers, usually I'm barred from running applications or programs that aren't already installed on the computer

I found this adorable Oshawott shimeji on deviantART by mewgal 

I'm currently procrastinating from my reading and not doing anything productive in terms of school

So what am I doing to continue this procrastination? MAKING POKÉMON TRAINER CARDS

I'm so very happy that the site is working again~! It was down for quite a long time and I was sad that I couldn't make them. All the Pokémon that I have listed on my trainer cards are ones that I actually have in my party and the friend codes listed are actually mine (with the exception of the GBA ones)

My very first Pokémon game that I played was Pokémon Ruby for the GBA which was the third generation of Pokémon in the Hoenn region. I'm particularly attached to these set of Pokémon and always will be as they're my first



Second game I played was Pokémon FireRed that was also for the GBA. I love Dragonair~



Third game that I played was Pokémon Diamond that was for the NDS. There's nothing that memorable about this game for me and I wasn't really all that attached to any of them



Fourth game that I played was Pokémon SoulSilver for the NDS. I definitely love how the first pokémon in your party comes out of the pokéball and follows you~! I l've grown very attached to Typhlosion and Scizor 



The fifth and current game that I'm playing right now is Pokémon Black. Those who follow my livejournal will know that I absolutely love and adore Oshawott~



On a random note, I'm also currently playing Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky with Vulpix and Riolu. I have a Psyduck on my team, but I'm trying to recruit others as well~

I'm in complete and utter bliss and euphoria at the moment

I found an Oshawott shimeji to walk about on my computer screen and keep me company

My mom and I are still laughing over our heads over this

I came home at around 6:30PM today from university, and as always, I wash my hands upon arriving home. I noticed in the sink there were strands of hair strewn all about the bathroom sink, but thought nothing of it.

I went to my room and turned on my computer and two of my brothers came into my room. Ethan, the youngest of the two, was beaming with pride over his spelling test. The other, Daniel, had his hood up and went to greet me like he always did.

I inquired why he had his hood up and told him to pull his hood down since it's not cold in the house. That's when I saw it...

Daniel had cut his own hair in front of the bathroom mirror over the bathroom sink and epicly failed

There were parts were he had cut way too short, so it looks like he has bald spots all over his head. I think he realized this after he went to check out his handiwork and realized his mistake, hence why he had his hoodie up

Rather than asking mom to cut his hair or go to a barber to cut his hair, he did it to himself and failed horrendously. Too bad he's not like Harry Potter and have his hair magically grow back overnight

Mom did the best that she could to try to salvage his hair by cutting it shorter all around, but you will still notice the patches of baldness when you glance at it

Again, both mom and I are still keeling over with laughter about this and probably will for a long time
