Sorry for taking so long to update.  I went through a huge Inu Yasha craze around the time I was planning on switching to another hosting company and so I sorta got lazy.  LOL  Anyway, I've finally found the time to get back into business.  I'm just adding some of the finishing touches to my SM site after revamping some major sections so that kept me busy for a least a month and now I've finally found time to get back to this site.  Anyway, I'm officially switched to the new address.  It was suppose to be /ff8realm but somehow it's taken.  It could have been the time I screwed up signing back in November, when I was experimenting and deleted another account, or the name is genuinely taken.  Anyway, I will not explain anymore since it's too complicated.  In the end, I cannot have that name and have to settle with /realmff8.  Anyway, 1asphost is a good company to sign up with for a free account.  You get 100 MB free and a single file size can be more than 1 MB unlike another site I know, where the amount of web space is the same.  The only catches are that FTP is not available and you're not allowed to upload hugs files that are going to be used for ppl to download.  This site is not to be used as a storage place.  Anyway, it's perfect for me.  Even Sailormoon.com is another kool place to host a site, where I host my SM site, since it's also for free except Sailormoon.com only provides 30 MB of space unlike 100 here.  But another kool feature that both have is than none have banners, unlike other free hosting sites, which annoy me to no end.  Anyway, I'll stop rambling now.  I think I've said enough.  I'll quickly rap this by saying that banners to link this site and gifs are what's up so far.  I hope you have more soon.

Yay!  A new year has begun.  My News Year's resolution is to try to be nicer to my family.  I find the year ended with a lot of tension amoung my family and myself.  Anyway, FF8 gifs are coming soon.  I sorta forgot to organize them with a lot going on in my life recently.  LOL  But for a serious note on New Year's Eve, my cat Snuggles became very ill.  Not with the typical cold however.  He did have one a month before and had been way over it by then.  What happened to my dear little boy remains a mystery and may remain that way.  He's perfectly fine now and I have no idea what happened to him.  Besides him, it happened to another cat in my family.  Vantaille started to fall over slightly, run around in circles, and stare into space like he was hallucinating.  That was around 6:30 at night.  But after 5 to 10 minutes, he recovers 100% like nothing was wrong with him nothing has happened to him since.  Anyway, 2 hours later around 8:30, Snuggles is asking to go outside by our patio door.  He just sits there and starts to fall over the exact same way Vantaille did.  Excepts he doesn't recover a few minutes later.  It took him days.  He slept non stop till Sat. Jan. 3/04 when he finally came around at 5:30.  Over the days, all Snuggles would do when he was awake was eat and do his business in the kitty litter but he wouldn't drink but he would eat lots.  At least he drank the juices from the cans which helped cuz he wouldn't drink any water or milk at all which I find rather odd that he would want to eat but not want to drink.  Also when brought outside, he would shiver.  He couldn't even retain his own body heat, which happened when I brought to the vet 2 days after New Year's Eve.  Even though it takes the car a long time to warm up, he kept shivering for a while which is something he never did being out in the cold before.  At the vet, they did all the tests and couldn't find anything wrong with him.  Also while we were there, my mom noticed he had a tremor in his head as well.  Even as a week went by, he finally started to drink water by Sunday and him falling over decreased.  He hasn't had any symptoms since the weekend but I still worry.  He's finally back to normal but I still like to know what happened to him.  If anyone has any ideas, please lemme know if you recognize any of those weird symptoms I've described.  My mom guesses that he couldn't ate a poinsettia plant which was in the bathroom since someone accidentally left the door open and the plant was chewed but the vet said it would only cause stomach upset.  Not a seizure like symptoms that Snuggles has.  The other thing that my mom speculates is that he had a mild stroke but how do you account that something similar happened to another cat the same night.  The last thing to guess if any of the cat food was poisoned deliberately and Snuggles had a bigger amount than Vantaille.  I just don't know but I'm glad Snuggles is finally back to normal.  And because of the constant care I gave him, I did work on the image gallery and gifs but I just had less time to do them.  Snuggles is more important than those so I don't regret the time I devoted to him which I'm still doing cuz I enjoy it and just in case he has a relapse any time soon which I hope he doesn't.  Anyway, that's not why I forgot to work on them.  I forgot them long before that.  I just wanted to tell everyone that.  I also want to tell everyone who's reading this that I have a new music video out today.  It's about ReBoot and not FF8 but I'll have one about FF8 in the future.  Just be patient.  Click here if ya want to download it.  The song is called "Sweet Ones" which is sung by Sarah Slean.  I hope everyone enjoys my new mus vid.  I plan the next one to be Sailor Moon and another which fill be a crossover of Sailor Moon, ReBoot, and FF8 so I may be a semi-FF8 one coming out.  That will have to do for now.  That's all I have to say for today.  Chow!

This is going to be the last update for the year for this site.  I'm gonna be gone for 2 weeks during the holidays so I won't be updating till the new year.  I hope everyone reading this will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  And I'll have new upcoming stuff too in the new year starting with banners and animated gifs.  Look for those coming in the new year.  Happy Holidays everyone!

Yeah!  The moment I've been waiting for and anyone else too for that matter.  Today is the day that I finally release my FF8 site called the Final Fantasy 8 Realm.  It's not big yet but I plan to add more shortly over time.  Also note that current address is just temporary.  I found a hosting site but I screwed up when I was signing up so I have to wait 2 months for the account to remain inactive and delete from their system.  So look for the address switch to happen in the beginning of February.  Some features that are presently available are the guestbook, message board, submissions, and contact info.  Anything else I am presently working on and hopefully will come soon or over time.  I'm not gonna say how long cuz I actually don't know but some sections such as music videos may take a while, weeks or months in fact so please be patient with me.  I'm also running 2 other sites so I got to balance out the work equally.  Anyway, that's all I have to say so please enjoy my new FF8 site and have fun.
