good news!

Problem resolved, guys! :D This morning I called UCAS's Customers Service Units and after a couple of minutes I was able to solve the problem and now my application is being processed! ♥ I was so scared/nervous of calling, but it didn't go that bad! XD The guy who picked up the phone was really nice and polite (which to me is a big pro, because sometimes when we phone to some Italian customer service the people who pick up the phone don't act professional at all). He even pronounced my name right (foreign speakers also have trouble with my name)! Ohohoh~ *thumbs up* 8Db And asdfghjkl THAT BRITISH ACCENT. ♥ I had to make an effort in order to listen to what he was saying, 'cause that accent was distracting. XD After the call, I wanted to call Customer Service Units again, just to hear that accent over the phone, hahaha~ ... wait. Am I fangirling over a phone call? XD

Anyway. Sorry to make you all worry. ♥ Everything's okay now. :D

And nowww... meme time~ (as always XD)!

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)

1. My parents.

2. Sara & Silvia. (I met them around the same time and they both mean a lot to me, so I'm going to put them together.)

3. My LJ friends.

4. My rl friends.

5. A Maths tutor I had during my third year of high school.

Okay, I kinda cheated on the meme, because I was supposed to choose five people. Seriously, though, I have a lot of people who mean a lot to me! It's impossible to choose. Just so you know, guys, you're all important to me. ♥ But I think you knew this already. XD

Oh, by the way, if any of you wanted me to give you five fandoms on the last meme, then just tell me and I'll gladly do so. :D Sometimes I'm so absent-minded when it comes to memes. XD;

*laughs* I speak with a British accent, dear~ :D ♥ So come and fangirl over me, woohoo~ 8Db

Ah, cheating in memes aren't crimes, muahaha~ x)

YOU DO?! Awww, I so want to hear you talk right now~ *_* ♥

Thank goodness they aren't, otherwise I could be arrested, haha~ XD

Normally at home, I'll just speak my broken English. x) But when I'm sitting for oral test or inquiring about something outside, I would speak in a British accent. Actually in Malaysia, we like... Know British accent and America accent, just like how I spell 'colour' or 'color' when I want to.

NOOOOOOO, I don't want you to get put in jail, don't you simple talk~ xD ♥

Awh!Ne sono davvero felice,chibi!!!♥ =D
MA CERTO!Si può fangirlare su tutto e tutti!!!*nod-nod*

Ha,ha!Come ti capisco...quando sono andata in Irlanda le persone che mi ospitavano sapevano prinunciare tutti i nomi più disparati tranne il mio!=_=
E dire che io ero partita CONVINTA che lo pronunciassero bene visto che "Ilaria" assomiglia molto a "Hilary"!Invece nisba....T_T

[identity profile] chibichan.livejournal.com 2011-01-13 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Grazie, anch'io sono molto felice!! ♥
Haha, è la prima regola di ogni fangirl! XD

Anche tu hai lo stesso problema, eh? ;_; Io quando sono andata in America ho dovuto sopportare per due settimane gente che non riusciva a pronunciare (e nemmeno scrivere!) correttamente il mio nome! Continuavano a chiamarmi "Frederica", mettendoci una R di troppo... =_=" (Pensa che il mio partner mi aveva fatto un biglietto di benvenuto, che era anche molto carino, ma aveva scritto, "Welcome, Frederica" ;_; Non gliel'ho fatto notare perché alla fine non era nulla di grave, però appena l'ho visto ci sono rimasta un po' così...) Capisco che come nome può suonare tanto come "Friedrich", ma persino i tedeschi hanno meno problemi a pronunciare il mio nome giusto! Gli unici che sembrano non riuscirci sono gli inglesi... ;_;
Così adesso, per aggirare l'ostacolo, appena un inglese mi chiede come mi chiamo, io rispondo ovviamente "Federica", ma lo pronuncio in accento inglese, in modo che loro sanno come devono pronunciarlo, così non lo sbagliano/storpiano! Come si dice, 'a mali estremi, estremi rimedi!' XD;

Lo immagino!;) *hugs*
La più sacra!XD

Vedo che abbiamo avuto esperienze simili!T_T Io ho passato nove giorni con gente che più cercavo di spiegargli come si pronunciava il mio nome meno ci riuscivano...da "Ilaria" sono passata a "Eleira"...>_>' Ti dirò,non suona male,a mia mamma addirittura piace,ma non è il mio nome!;^; La cosa divertente è che una signora straniera che conosco mi chiama anche così...quindi da me non sono solo gli irlandesi...*sigh* XD"

[identity profile] chibichan.livejournal.com 2011-01-13 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL, effettivamente "Eleira" è carino! XD Però capisco, il nome di una persona è sacro e non si tocca! >w<; E mi sa che un po' tutti gli stranieri hanno difficoltà a pronunciare i nomi italiani... Tutta questione di fonetica! XD;

[identity profile] kanki-yamato.livejournal.com 2011-01-14 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Già,ho sopportato la cosa solo per questo!XD
Bè dai,diciamo la verità...tutti fanno difficoltà a pronunciare nomi stranieri! Io ancora mi mordo la lingua quando tento di pronunciare il cognome "Ackles" un cognome a caso!XD!XD

^^ That is good, Chibichan! Although, I have a southwest American accent. I even sometimes say the "Ya'll" because I live so close to Texas. ;; So if I try to speak some other languages, some people look at me is if I should just stay speaking English because I try with their names, it just is hard. XD;

Anyways, gotta love the British accents (and Scottish...♥). They normally act professional whenever you call something and they answer. Sadly, here, if we have our own people answering the phones and they so far away...they cannot pronouce some names correctly (mostly Spanish and French). I was that customer service you called! ^^;

[identity profile] chibichan.livejournal.com 2011-01-13 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, you can call me just Chibi~ Haha, is that so? XD When I went to Texas, a lot of people couldn't pronounce my name right (they kept saying "Frederica" instead of "Federica"), it looks like my name is too difficult (I always think it's sort of "too Italian" for foreign speakers, haha). XD; I think it has a lot to do with phonetics. :3

Oh, yeah. ♥ I have a massive soft spot for British accents (or any UK accent, really XD), that's also one of the reasons why I want to study there and try to learn how to speak with a British accent. Right now my accent is just... half-Italian, half-American. XD; (I can speak German with a somewhat German accent, though, strangely enough.)
Aw, I see. I was just really lucky that the guy who picked up the phone could pronounce my name right! ♥ Haha. XD

[identity profile] loving-dream.livejournal.com 2011-01-14 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
;; Texans misprounce names way too much. (Sorry, New Mexico has a thing against Texas right now, so I gotta share the rivalry. :3) Luckily, my accent is not so bad even if the "Ya'll" will slip out at times. I got told by an Irish woman my "accent was clear." I felt so loved because of that! ♥ Maybe your name is difficult for foreign speakers because in English the vowels might sound a bit different? :0 Or you are right, it might have to do with phonetics.

I would LOVE to learn how to speak with a British accent. I just sound so weird if I try to speak any other langauge because of my accent. Half-Italian, half-American...:3 That sounds pretty to me. I love European accents a lot too. *Fangirls* If you go and study in the UK, I wish you luck! It is a small place land wise, but very beautiful and wonderful cultures. I chase after the Scottish culture in particular, because my family was original from there. :3

(If I try to speak German or Dutch, I sound like I'm killing the poor language. I think most European speakers respect me trying, just not the sounds that come out. I think Japanese speakers feel the same way. I laugh my Spanish accent because it sounds so strange).

I think we all can fangirl over the British accents though. ♥

Aww, thank you! ♥ I'm glad it all worked out well in the end, too~ I feel so relieved now! :D

You love British accent, too? ♥ I could listen to it all day long and never get tired of it, haha~ XD

Oh, good that everything went well in the end. ♥

The cheating is totally fine, I think. xD

/wants to be tagged
Though hey, that happens to me a lot as well. xD

[identity profile] chibichan.livejournal.com 2011-01-13 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, I'm so glad the problem was resolved quickly. ♥

Sometimes you just gotta cheat~ XD

Haha, glad I'm not the only one! XD
Okay, I'll give you... Yuugiou, Suikoden, Grandia, Detective Conan & InuYasha! I hope I chose some good fandoms. XD I'm curious to know your favourite characters~ ♥
