Ja mata, ashita o watashiwa update blog desu ~!

Mediocre day =/

So today...was pretty normal.

--

I'll just end this post with an embedded video :



OP of Yozakura Quartet. Added to my PSP music list.

Signing off, Gene.

New Anime...

Kinda early to update the blog but here goes..

--

Nothing much happened today. All pretty normal. So I'll just go straight to the point.

--

Today I started on a new Anime, Yozakura Quartet.

Genres : Action, comedy, supernatural

Normally I'll just go for the " supernatural " part, but thinking of it, this anime is more like a combination of Bleach (fighting scenes), Shakugan No Shana (see it and you can really relate to this) and the graphics looks something like Minami-Ke.

And the plot is something like...Crimebusters, where a group of police officers patrol around the city resolving troubles and all.


What really dragged me into this anime is how...alluring the characters in the show are, and the Opening and Ending theme are excellent, fits the entire show perfectly, although I have only watched 3 episodes up to now, I can tell that the show is a little rushed.

Theres VERY little information about the show in Wikipedia and ANN, so I guess this is another anime that goes easily unnoticed...then again, this anime has only 12 episodes ( from ANN ), so I guess it's going to be a short anime.

--

Signing off, Gene.

Happy birthday, sister?!

Cant believe I'm posting this, but I think it deserves at least, something.

So yeah, happy (belated) birthday, imoto-san.

Today, something interesting happened. Something that will change my life forever; something that will correct a mistake I made so long that I did'nt realize until today.

My horoscope...IS NOT A PISCES !!

Alright, it's...half a Pisces.

Yup. Took me THIS long, 16 years, to realize that all along I was never a Pisces but a Aquarius/Pisces cusp.

This will change my life forever. That would mean checking horoscopes are never the same again !

What's worst is that....

while checking something else related to horoscopes, I found out that my Pisces is VERY compatible with SOMEONE and my AQUARIUS is NOT ( Very ) COMPATIBLE at all ! That's something to worry about.

No wonder, at times, I've been acting...not like a usual Piscine. No wonder I've been acting, at times, so cold.


" ...They are devoted to their goals, but they can be disorganized or procrastinate when faced with difficulties. Their intellect makes them logical and self-confident, but it may also makes them aloof from people around them. They are original, offbeat and even eccentric, but they are also rather bored by detail. Reformist and experimental, Aquarius/Pisces may seem cold toward people who don't share their intellectual orientation to life. Those born on the Aquarius/Pisces cusp may become timid if their emotions are abused too often... "

Anyway I'll just take that as a pinch of salt. Afterall, it's better to be a Piscine.

I'll just imagine a... Irie Naoki + Ulquiorra Schiffer combo. So...to sum it up...maybe an end result like ... LIGHT YAGAMI.

--

Before I sign out, I have a piece of news for myself (and you readers);

Aqua Timez new song, Velonica (full) is coming out on 5th November ! That's the newest Bleach opening if you did'nt know.

And that's just 10 more days !

--

Signing off, Gene.

Last day of my secondary 4...

I'LL BE BACK FOR SECONDARY 5, SO JUST WATCH ME.
...if not I've already made plans for myself.

--

Anyway I had a cosplay photoshoot today, and due to some time constrains, we only managed to take 2 measly shots...not very good backgrounds, but still it's a photoshoot.

Today in school was AWESOME. Not because it's the last day of school, but WTF I DID'NT KNOW THAT SUCH A COOL TEACHER REALLY EXISTS.

Guess what? He screened episode 191 of Bleach IN CLASSROOM during LESSON TIME today...he was a relief teacher anyway, but still, watching bleach episode 191 in the classroom with all your classmate watching the same show and you knowing that the teacher is an Otaku makes you just go WOW.

Sadly, it's his last day, so guess this would be what I call a " once in a lifetime " experience...besides, I doubt anymore of this will happen once I enter Secondary 5...it'll all just be grinding, grinding and more grinding...and imma take up 5 days of tuition every week...including Japanese, of course.

I'm going to graduate from my Japanese Intermediate course next week...so yeah, that pretty much leaves Advance Japanese and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.

So it's all pretty planned out.

--

Anyway today I also downloaded a NEW PSP GAME. It's fresh on the internet, just released today.

It's Bleach - Soul Carnival.

REVIEWS FOR BLEACH - SOUL CARNIVAL.

--

If you like Anime, Chibi, flashy actions and adventure, then this is the game for you. It's one of those mindless button mashing games that REALLY requires you to spam your skills, cause it gets real hard during the beginning of the game...

Here's the drawback ( and why is it so hard ) ; It's in JAPANESE. Without knowing HOW TO READ the rules of the game, of course it'll be difficult to perform unique attacks and where to go..and of couse what are the characters talking.

Other than that, the game is pretty much good, so it deserves a 7/10 for people who is'nt into anime and 9/10 for Anime/Bleach fans.

Not surprisingly, characters such as Don Kanoji and Kon are in the game, but you CANNOT play them, they can only assist you. However, you can control Ichigo, Rukia, Ishida, Renji, Kenpachi and many more...( I missed out on Sado cuz I could'nt find him )

It's very frustrating when you get thrown into a situation when you meet a fork and HAVE to decide a path...and the road back to the fork is VERY long, and since I'm kinda lazy, I decided not to retrace my steps to unlock characters I did'nt even know I missed. Other than that, I find the boss battles ridiculously hard (excluding the first few bosses, up to Shiba or Renji) unless you really know how to SPAM.

(I was killing Kenpachi with having my Ikkaku and Renji doing all the work for me while I just run around and activate them to hit Kenpachi for me )

However, this game goes MUCH more deep into button-mashing adventure games. You can buy items...FUSE two equipments together...mix the character colour codes so that it fits one another for some kinda bonus special (I dunno what's it do anyway).

2 Hours into the game and I'm still at Soul Society, which means that this game is going to take quite long to complete, nevertheless, it's worth the memory space( the game is about 550MB+).

--

Alright it's getting late so...signing off, Gene.

Little to update...

Nothing much is going on in the past few days...so it'll be kinda of a (VERY) short post.

--


It's weird...I know the end of something great is coming, but I want to hold on, just for one more second...just so it can hurt a little more.

--

Think about it.

Signing off, Gene.

A split path.

Alright, today's title HAS something that has to do with what I'm writing.

Anyway everything starts out normal until somebody pisses me off which makes me draw the line as he breaks the last straw. I blocked him on MSN and hopefully he won't harass me again. There's a good chance he'll be reading my blog, but I would'nt bother too much about that. Hopefully the problem's settled.

Anyway to sum it up, I lost a friend today. I don't know why I even put up with him for the past 4~5 years. Well sure, he has helped me with plenty of stuffs, but then again we're down to pretty much neutral, so it's kinda like...neither hostile nor friendly, I suppose. I don't wish to hate him, but I don't wish to befriend him and get myself hurt again.

Anyway the anguish lingered around for quite some time...until I played two rounds of DotA with a new friend, Quan. So now I have Quan and Chrome as new DotA buddies...boy the games were awesome.

In the first game I played a whole new hero I never even touched before - Vengeful Spirit and Quan played Keeper of the Light. It was the MOST HILARIOUS MATCH EVER.

So the thing was this : Quan bought a Kelen dagger of escape, some wards and blinks up to a unpassable ledge where you can only reach by blinking. Next he RECALLS me to his spot and blinks down to lure a couple of dumbasses. When they came past me I used Nether Swap and they're stucked on the ledge. Even teleport scrolls cant helped as I used Magic Missle to stun them before they could teleport away. It was HILARIOUS.

While they were trying to unstuck themselves, we damaged them as much as we could ans usually they would just stone there for us to kill, as the unstuck command freezes your movement. While stuck, we pushed their lanes and won the game.

--

Anyway; after the match I went back to check on maple. To my surprise, I remembered that, I STILL HAVE MY BLOODSOUL GUILD FRIENDS ! Hopefully they'll host another Christmas dinner and it'll be my one year anniversary with the guild. Now I recall everything - what motivates me, what supports me and what really treats me like I belong to them - my guild.

Oh yeah and before I forgot - Happy birthday to Liang kor ! 20/10/08...time for u to go serve NS lo~ I'll miss you while you're in NS, fellow guildmate.


Anyway I'm running out of time now, gotta go sleep already.
Signing off - Gene.

Adrenaline surging through my body

Again, the title was totally random. I just took the first phrase I saw, that's all. No hidden message or somethin'.

--

What started out to be a dull and boring day suddenly changed into a dramatic ending.

--

After losing in DotA for 10 streaks in a row, I decided to figure out what's wrong.

Wrong heros? No. My scores were pretty mediocre.

Always being targeted? Partly, maybe because they could'nt wait to break my spree.

Unsightly In Game Nick which causes everybody to hate you pretty much equivalent to a jinx In Game Nick? Highly possible.

So here's what I did to rectify the problem; I changed a new In Game Nick. I'd prefer to keep it a secret, so yeah. Or else this tiny bit of information may cause my ultimate plan to burn into ashes...and possibly ruin everything.

What's most surprising is that, after I change my In Game Nick, I won the next 3 games in a row ! Now that's either luck or my In Game Nick is no more jinx.

--

Alright there's really nothing much to update about today. I'm still eagerly waiting for the next episode of Clannad Afterstory to be subbed..along with Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae and Casshern Sins, which I am currently hibernating on.

Signing off, Gene

Note : Astronomical catalog consisting of deep sky objects such as nebulae and star clusters that came to be known as the 103 "Messier objects".

When you play with fire, you get hurt.

Alright, just so you know, the title is totally random :P

--

Anyway, nothing much happened today, with exceptions to a new chapter of Bleach manga AND THE COMPLETION OF BLADE DANCER : LINEAGE OF LIGHT. (Platform : PSP) (Genre : RPG)

--

My reviews about Blade Dancer : Lineage of Light;

Alright, if you HATE RPG games, do not have patience with games and if you like "actiony" kind of games, I suggest you skip this game. This game requires LOADS of patience and all you do is control the usual 4 characters casting spells at enemies and whatnot on a turn basis. The game is in real time motion, so there's no "pause" in the game, so turn off your PSP or else you'll find your character dead on the ground when you get back.

You're gonna spend plenty of time running about towns (which takes 10minutes if you haven't unlock a special gate) and during the later part of the games, the enemies will be a lot tougher than you think.

The game starts off with a WONDERFUL Japanese opening song which really makes you think that your 270MB game is not wasted, but I'll say it's something more like a a " make up " effect - to make up for running about here and there.

You may not catch what the characters are saying in the early part of the game - stuffs like Appraisal, Crafting and the Blade Dancer but don't worry - it's kinda of a thing that you would understand in the later part of the game. So don't think too much about it.

Sometimes, your enemies will come RUNNING at you and what's worst is the enemy MIGHT be stronger than you ( I fought a Ghost wolf when my characters are only 35 ! ) and if you are THAT unlucky ( especially the time i forgotten to save and got chased by a Pyrodragon, and still being unable to run away. I wasted my 1~2 hours running around, doing missions and levelling up my characters and my characters died.

Do note that you CANNOT save your game while venturing, only in towns or dungeons ( don't worry there's like only 2 dungeons in this game ) so that pretty much pisses me off.

The graphics of this game is pretty good, but I'll only give it a 7/10. The IN GAME MUSIC was horrible. There's no music while you're venturing and exploring the lands, only the sounds of your footsteps, and the music in towns are just like a 10seconds recording that's recurring time and time again.

However the Opening theme and the Ending theme were perfect.

Anyway, minor spoiler here : I think that there's going to be a season 2 for Blade Dancer seeing how the game ends. Sucky endings, for once, I don't mind this game having end with a "Happily Ever After"...but nooooo, they had to drag the storyline and what's worst is the credits just roll after the part was getting epic.

Oh and a minor note : Your friends are going to whine if they see you playing this game. Like I said, it's a RPG and don't expect to see many special effects, most of the time you'll be just swinging your sword.

--

I thought that it was meant to be, but was only deluding myself from the truth and the false. I could never have...her.
Until I stand corrected.
--

Anyway that's about all. Now im'mma go find more RPG games to play.

Messier Reborn.

Alright, first off apologies for the VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY late update. Lots of things has passed since the last post, like...

Spending around 3-4 months playing DotA hogging up to 95% of my lifestyle, meaning that I have to sacrifice the time taken to update my blog ( which I was always too tired to do )...

watching more Animes..( notably : Code Geass R2,Casshern Sins and the long awaited Clannad Afterstory )

Since the year is already coming to an end ( 2 months from now perhaps? ), I already decided the top 3 animes I would recommand you people to watch, if you're an otaku just like me.

1. Code Geass ( season 1 and 2 )[ Ended ]
2. Clannad ( season 1 and 2 ) [ Ongoing ]
3. NOT YET DECIDED. ( It's a close fight between Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae and Itaruza Na Kiss though. )

Of course there are others like Shigofumi, Kamen no Maid Guy, Casshern Sins, Yugioh 5D, Gundam 00 and 2 more I have not watched yet ( but planning to ) : Macross Frontier and Gurren Langann.

---

Besides anime, I don't recall if I ever posted this yet, but I'm already close to finishing my Japanese Intermediate Course (8 lessons/10 lessons)...which would get me a Japanese Intermediate certificate...but that's not what I'm aimimg for.

I plan on taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) when I'm older..lets say 2 years from now? So it's still a pretty long road to go.

--

Anyway there's little to update since my life is SO dull...you can pretty much imagine - School, Home, Dota, Eat, Sleep. It's all the same everyday...until...

I met her.

Thus leading to the revival of this blog.

--

Don't worry - I'll make sure I update this blog more often nowadays since my N lvls is over, I'll have PLENTY of free time. Maybe look for a job during the holidays ( any lobang ? ) or take up Ice Skating courses ( they always told me to do some sports instead of grinding DotA ) or just...SLACK AT HOME !

That's pretty much sums it all...
