Okay so yes takiotakav is moving soon. It's pretty much almost confirmed however, I'm still deciding when to disclose the new website location. I'm fixing things up and I want the new place to be refreshed and up to date when you guys get there. So just wait another little while. I modified the look of this place a bit if you haven't noticed or if you didn't read my last blog here. It's a little dark but I like it and the header is really nice. It's drawn by my friend, Sabrina, who drew it using the graffiti application on Facebook.

So I know it's been nearly A YEAR since I've posted up a story and like months and months since I've posted any sort of "writing" I've done. The last time I've posted up something was like July and they were my poems, if you didn't read them, check them out here and for all the stories, click here. I apologize but once the school year started, I just had SO much on my plates and I couldn't even squeeze another story out of me during the Christmas Break. I did post up an old story that I wrote, it's actually my "first finished story" I wrote back in 2007, I think so if you haven't read it, click here to read. It's a interesting good one. A little emotional.

I also apologize for the many links I have on this post. I never used to use links but I discovered how useful they can be. And how fun they can be too! Okay so I know I've been talking too much about what I've written before and yadayada. So I know you guys are all anxious about my new story. So YES, I do have a new story that will be coming soon. I hope it's a good one, and I'm sure you guys will understand why it's been so long since I've posted up a story. I wrote two teasers for the story sort of like when people release movies or short films, they have trailers or teasers, so I tried something like that and hopefully, you guys will like the teaser and come back to read the story. There's two teasers for a reason, it's sort of like two different points of views in a way. So check it out below and enjoy! Please please SPREAD the word of this new story, new readers are ALWAYS welcomed. And SUBSCRIBE if you want to be kept up to date. THANKS!


The Two-Sided Journal

Teaser # 1:
I started to count the number of pages I had left whenever I missed her. Sometimes, I would hope that I could write like mad so I could finish it faster then maybe I coud have a chance of seeing her sooner. She promised me she would give me a new one as soon as I finished with my old one. But what I really needed or wanted wasn't a new journal from her but just to see her after all these long months. The one thing I was most afraid was losing her but maybe I never lost her because she wasn't mine to begin with.

Teaser # 2:
The day was creeping closer and sooner or later, I had to make the decision. Long and thick or short and thin? I had no idea what it should be. But whatever it may be though I hope it will last him a lifetime, though I don't know how many more journals I would be able to provide him nor do I know how long it will be until we meet again... But I hope that I can give him something where he can always share his secrets to. Where he'll be able to share his other side with.

P.S The story will be out soon. The earliest being the week of valentine's day. And the site will probably be moving to its new location sometime in March. Thanks! SPREAD THE WORD! :]

MOVING!

Okay. So I been messing around with the features on blogger, never really looked into this when I first used it, I mean I was just more concerned about posting up stories and everything. So I messed around it and changed the layout, I like it more now, my header is quite random, the title doesn't show up very well. Blogger has a limited amount of templates but credits to Sabbie for the header (well, it's really a facebook graffiti hohoho).

Anyways, yepp the title says it, Takio^Takav is MOVING! So I actually am re-editing this post I had up yesterday, cause I was very close into deciding NOT to move away from blogger after I fixed up my site a bit. But I think the formatting can't be fixed so I've been irritated with it so I'm going to be on a hunt for a new place. For now, it'll still be blogger but I'm pretty sure soon, this site will literally be "dead", really, I've tried to publish the last post I had here like 209348203948 times, and words were cut off because of the weird formatting.

Anyways, after a little messing around with blogger, I'm still alright with this place. So even if I don't use blogger anymore in the future, I'll try to post up the stories on here if I can, maybe a few days late though. I've been pretty inactive with my storyblog lately but I do get random inspirations from all these online people who posts videos and have this "huge" fanbase. Nope, I don't have a fanbase since 99% of my readers are all people I know but anywho, maybe one day, I'll have someone visit my storyblog and it'll be some random person I don't know. Who knows what's in store for me in the future.

So I think I've been saying "anyways" a little too much in this post. But yeah, be on the look out for new updates about the moving process. I've finally got these posts labelled so it's a little easier to navigate. Additionally, I added the "subscribe" button, SO be sure to SUBSCRIBE to keep up with what's going on. Just click on the "subscribe to posts" below my profile! THANK YOU.

Lastly, if you still HAVEN'T read my last entry of my "first story", check it out! It's amazing to see the way I wrote two years ago. Weird. And you might be surprised by the story. Anyways, hope you're all doing well. Ciao.

Not Dead Just Hibernating

I guess I'm really good at procrastinating, I was going to post this last weekend, but a lot of things came up and I never got the chance to so it's up -now-:

"My first blog of the "new year". It's been -awhile- I've updated my story blog. Sorry about that, after the break, I've just been SOO busy. Things chilled down a bit since my midterms are over but I'm back at school tomorow, so I'll try my best to update. So if you've been wondering, no, takiotakav is not dead. It just takes awhile for ideas to come, and it's not like I can just come up and finish a story in like a blink of an eye. And because I'm obviously a full-time student that has "extra-curriculars" to attend as well, time is so limited. But

I do promise that I'll try my *very* best to prepare an update in about 2 weeks or so with a new story.

6 midterms sure did crush me over but I'm fine, I think. At least I'm done now, and I got a break today. It was also really nice to visit the school to see Maestro Colin Clarke work with the Junior Band. He's so awesome and it sure brought back memories of my junior band camp in grade 9. Other things to mention is that I've watched all of Wongfu's Video Blogs they have so far and even though it's just updates, they are really cool. Haha, chinese minute maid ;] And also, I can't wait until Break Up Back Up (by WongFuProductions) come out on Friday not to mention Spencer Junior.

Lastly, TVXQ's new Japanese album, Trick seems pretty interesting. The photos are quite nice except I don't think I really like Yunho's hairstyle, can't remember. But the 5 solo singles are an amazing idea and really awesome, especially since each title stands for one letter of Trick. The covers for the first 2 singles (Max's and Micky's) are really nice, I like the whole different style of it. Really modern furnitury like. Another thing to mention is Jae has turned 22 (23 in Korea) a couple days ago and he's on his 23rd year of his life. I hope he had an awesome birthday. Also, my lovely Yunho is turning 22 soon <3."

So, looks like my Yunho is 22 now <3! Aiya, blogger completely KILLED my post. I'm going to go "crazy", anyways, I totally forgot what I said before, but some things about being really busy in the past week. I watched Break up Back up and it was awesome! I also got all my midterms back but -sigh- i still have so much to do. I'll aiming for an update in the coming week near "Valentine's Day", hopefully. Thanks for all who's been still checking out this site and reading my "2nd" story. Much is appreciated, I truly apologize for the deadness for the past month, more will be coming. Being a "full-time" high school student with extra curriculars just really keeps me busy and limits my time to write stories. Anyways, before I go, I wish everyone a happy chinese new year. Kung Hei Fat Choy!

Welcome: Getting Started*

Well, I've been known to small fonts. So this is the smallest of Georgia that turns out "readible" and doesn't keep going smaller and smaller >.<. From comparing all the fonts, Times was generally smaller than all the other ones but it was a little too small and I quite like this Georgia font more. So, I'm back to my orginal blogspot here and well this blog is for stories. This is where my imagination goes wild, this is intended for fictional things, but from time to time, there may be a chance where I will "blog" here about personal stuff, who knows? Well, my other site takavtakio.blogspot.com is currently making me all bleh because the title works there but not on the one I'm working on right now >.> now it reads takio^tak av. And yes, it bugs me, a bit of a perfectionist, maybe? Well weren't music nerds considered perfectionists (this is a total inside thing at my school, so i don't mean to stereotype anyone, don't take any of this into offence, please & thank you)

So a little introducing? Umm, well i'm a student that attends high school. And well, I'm just going to go on a little bit on why the sudden urge to fix up my blogs again. Firstly, I write -as much as i can- when the time is available. I'm finding it harder to juggle with school, extra-curriculars, volunteer, work etc. So, I'm getting less time to write and sometimes, my ideas take forever to come & especially flow. I'll try working harder to finish more stories. I will, I can only do so much though, right? But so yeah, I was thinking, I mean these stories are random thoughts, so short sometimes, why not have an appropriate place to just post it even if it's two lines long- that is how it came back to me: BLOGSPOT! Then it came to me, I was reading Wesley's and Phil's xanga blogs, the ones from Wongfu (I'll introduce later, I'm only a fan, and it's only been awhile since I've been a fan, but let me tell you this, THEY ARE AWESOME =]) so yeah, it's the holidays, so I was reading, and I see a lot of really nice posts from Wesley and so many posts of photos and their videos because well WongFu Productions are those videos and Wesley loves photography. & I love his photos <3>

There's a lot of people who I want to thank though, inspiration for my stories comes from a lot of the people I meet throughout my life. Many of which are my friends, I think writing is just another form of art and another way someone can express themselves. Words mean so much but then again so do pictures. That's also why i love photography (like Wesley said) it captures the beauty around us through the most simple things. Words kind of do the same, the most simple word of "sorry" or "thank you" captures so much meaning to it.

I really like to take this time to now to give some shoutouts to two different groups. First is my lovely TVXQ or DBSK boys. They are an awesome bunch of 5, even though they're korean, and they have no sense of idea who the heck I am. It's ohkay, their songs keep me going, their random interviews and funny videos of them being on talk shows etc. just makes my day full of laughter. I hope you guys will check out their songs and stuff sometime and support them by purchasing their DVDs, CDs & accessories! Second on the list is WongFu Productions, I've been newly introduced to these 3 awesome people that are the WongFu 3, i shall say. I've watched several of their videos, and they are ABSOLUTELY awesome. Wes's photos are amazing, Phil's original ideas are awesome and Ted's randomness just melts your heart. Props to them and please do check out their videos on youtube. =]

Ohkay, to conclude this long blog, I'd like to thank a bunch of people. Everyone can inspire someone, but the people you meet influence you the most, i guess?

Thanks to (these people have kept me going since this start of school year)
Trumpets, Music Council Friends, C wingers, C winger locker afterschool group, Caf group, Grand Leaf group, Oriental Express Group & to all those I've been to hangouts with since Sept 2007~

And I also might as well do something else:
Since JP ended, I have not been feeling too good, but i want to thank some people who was there for me, supporting me and being a good listener.

Thanks to
*Napier: Thanks for always saying I will do ohkay at the concert, at my test and stuff since camp ended. Remember I said we started talking for 12 days since Dec 12th, on msn. LOL haha, i must have bugged you much. And yeah thanks for providing all those pillows for me, I think you need to restock though >.>
*Stephen & Sab: I put you guys together, because you are my awesome heroes. LOL thanks for helping me shop on that Friday, really. Least expected to shop with you guys, but hey, it was heck fun, esp when we saw the 99% dark chocolate. Oh and always still being there with me during those afterschool times. LOL
*Jeff: Thanks for insisting on being there for me. For those warm compliments of me sounding good when I probably GG'ed a million times. It means a lot to me to know you're still here LOL.. does that make sense?
*Bernard: For not breaking away from me, if you know what i mean >.<. Haha, i won't forget that awesome rant of ours during accounting. Oh and for the support you give me in music, even though sometimes, you're just a meanie to me.
*Melyn: my awesome badminton buddy (who's ditchin me in Jan), well i have to thank you for all those comments on my xanga, & I'll have to find a chance to call you one day, don't i? I guess we were both going through similar things. But we're going to get through this together, right?
*Stefan: Haha, for being there when I was feeling bad and worrying about my test and for giving me that good luck. It paid off, thanks steffie =]
*Ryan: haha, well you're like the first one to know about the re-existance of this blog. Even though your swearing pisses me off at many times, I have to say thanks to you. Don't know why, but I just do. so here ya go lah LOL (*starts balloons dance*)
*Trumpets: You guys make me so happy during band and stuff. And especially to see all the younger ones, you guys are soo silly and random, you make my day =]
*BMC Liason Group: I never had so much fun working on the council stuff then I did with you guys. Sure, it came slowly and tough but in the end, we were awesome. Grade 8 day went so well too~ thanks for making my first grade 8 day as a high school student so awesome.

Well, I think I'm ready to kick it all off. LOL There will be a new update very soon, if I can, probably by tonight or Sunday night.
