I ♥ Origa

[sherryillk]

Am I the only one who feels as if this woman has one of the most beautiful voices ever? I listen to her songs and I'm just awed by how beautiful and good it sounds.

And since I'm into Origa at the moment, here are some of her songs:

From the Fantastic Children ED:
Japanese Version: Origa - Mizu no Madoromi
Russian Version: Origa - Mizu no Madoromi

Origa - Ai no Kakera
Origa - Inner Universe

I totally recommend the Japanese version of Mizu no Madoromi and the Ai no Kakera song. So beautiful, so enchanting... Both Ai no Kakera and Inner Universe are in Russian and they're so good. I love songs in Russian but Ai no Kakera was especially wonderful. The Japanese version of Mizu no Madoromi is incredible. Her voice in Japanese is such a balm on the senses. I love her voice, I love the instruments used, I love this song.

Now, on things not Origa related. I got rejected from ASB 2006. :( That means I won't have any where to go for Spring Break... I could go home... :\ Or I can take a trip up to Canada, visit Toronto, Niagra Falls and some relatives that I've only met once in my life (back when I was like six years old). It seems wrong that I have an uncle, an aunt and four cousins that I DON'T KNOW AT ALL. I've never ever spoke to them. I'm pretty sure I met my uncle and one of my cousins once but that was a long time ago and I never actually talked to them... The girl cousin fell asleep in my bed and I just avoided the uncle. :\

They are my only distant relatives since they never visit and they're all the way in Eastern Canada. The rest of my family is either in Oregon, or in China and the ones in China come to visit often and we go and visit them. At least more than the ones in Canada. So it'll be nice to visit them and take in the sites. ^^

I found out some rather sad news... The two bus lines in Queens really went on strike at 12:01 AM today. :( That does not make me feel very assured that nothing will happen on Tuesday 12:01 AM -- the threatened time for the transit worker's strike... I have TWO exams on that date -- one after another. Thank god they're not at 8 AM though, but the first is at 10 AM. How early should I get up and go to them to get to it on time? I have no idea! :(

I thought they wouldn't go on strike but now 700 people are on strike... I just hope this forces the MTA to make a deal with the union... Otherwise, we're all screwed. Yay.

Oh, happy birthday the_pangolin!

*hugs* Yay thank you! ='( you're the second person I know to be super effected by the MTA strikes >.< I hope they work it out. Here in CA it's like, just drive yourself, but I really wish there was a bus system. It's so expensive to have a car, but you can't go ANYWHERE without one ='( ... I hope MTA understands how important and wonderful bus lines are.

Well, everyone who works or lives in NYC will be affected by the MTA strike if it happens. I don't don't even use the subway or the city buses (NYU provides transportation from my dorm since it's a huge dorm) but if it happens, there will be so many more cars around that traffic is going to suck. That's where I think most of the delays will be.

In Portland there is a wondeful public transportation system but everyone has cars anyway. *shrugs* I miss the West Coast and the ability to drive yourself everywhere... Here, you actually have to brave the elements and WALK. Talk about blasphemy!

XD Portland is such a nice city. I want to go back someday. Hehehe, sounds like LA... all the latinos (and the occasional college students) use the bus and everyone else drives. =O
