*aims at style.css file*

…so yay, after God knows how long, finally did something to the layout of the blog! …well a little xD

As you can tell, I added an image as the website banner (thou nothing is put into the image yet orz) and put the media icons to the top of the page. What do you think? I really don’t like the location of the media icons right now but I don’t really like them above or below the website image either, so I decided to put it on top of the title. I don’t really want to remove them as they are basically one of the best things about this theme. Might makes more changes later, but it’s staying like that for now (really want a new theme but nothing good as of now). The image used for the banner is actually from the EP6 ED of Idolmaster and it’s called “The Idolm@ster”. If you happened to watch the episode, you would find that the description of my site (the words under the title) is actually lyrics from the same ED (which is the reason why I used that image):

That’s correct, another song cheering you on to realize your dreams. I can never have enough of those…more like I need as many of those as possible. It’s a really good song actually, so let’s do some more digging into the lyrics (these are my own translations so they may be slightly different than what’s in the clip above because as you know, I make my own subs xD):

「もう伏目がちな昨日なんていらない 今日これから始まる私の伝説」
“The yesterday where I have to be looked down on is over. My legend starts today, right now.”

「自惚れとが強かさも必要 そう恥じらいなんて時には邪魔なだけ」
“You must be be proud and determined. Being shy will only hinder you at times.”

「一歩を大きく 進もう毎日 夢に向かって 漠然とじゃない意図的に」
“Take a big step, advance towards your dreams everyday, not just aimlessly, but with a purpose!”

Seriously, how can anyone not LIKE LOVE lyrics like this (well, I guess people who have no goals and are content working low-end jobs their whole life)? Even I am encouraged myself despite listening to the song while typing this post at 6:00 am. That’s how much I love this song.

Anyway, a minor life update, I finally finished the rest of my courses and am qualified to receive my business admin degree (though the convo is not until Spring/Summer 2012 orz). So now only 2 more courses (taking one currently) and ~8 more months (assuming everything goes smoothly *knocks on wood*) before I receive my accounting designation. Everything that I have been longing to do over all these years will start then. WWJD?

Wow, Nichijou and Hanasaku Iroha both ended this week. Incredible, and incredibly…sad. Both series started around April (Spring season), and I have been watching them every Saturday and Sunday since then. Nichijou is basically my 「癒し」 anime to make myself feel better for the crap that I face every week, and Iroha is “just” my favourite series of the Spring and Summer season as well as one of my favourites all time. That’s right, the moment that I heard Ohana thought (and almost yelled) 「悔しくって、悔しかった」 at the end of ep 1…

The last episode was SUPER (well the whole series is super actually). And now it’s over. Every Sunday morning waking up at 10 am is no more~ And to replace that, I will be watching Gundam AGE *pukes*, Kami no Puzzle and Mirai Nikki on Sundays for the next few months. Not exactly stuff that can even be half as good as Iroha (Although I do have some high hopes for Mirai Nikki). At least there’s Bakuman S2 on Saturday now I guess. Can’t wait for that to air for sure~

The Fall season looks exciting as you can see on my Anime section of this website~ Tamayura, Bakuman, Working and Ika Musume aired before, and they are def. good enough to watch again. I have also heard alot of good stuff regarding Boku wa Tomodachi wa sukunai (OH MEATTTTTTTTTTT), so that’s another must watch. And the others we’ll see. I hope there is something good enough to replace Iroha but I highly doubt that I will get it this season.

Anyway that’s all from me for now, hopefully I can write another post “very soon”, and by “very soon” I mean “I really don’t know when” xD

Later! ^.^

“YES I PASSED THIS DAMN PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!”

OMG A POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…anyway moving on.

Seriously, that essay last time took my hair out. Mark just came out today, got a 75%. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Well one bad thing, since the essay is worth 25% of the course mark, the instructor gave me a 18.5/25 which is 74% (75% is 18.75/25). There goes my B+. Well guess I will still survive, hopefully.

Just one more assignment and one report to go, both due on the 30th. Next, need to enrol to my next accounting designation course for Sept – Dec, as well as verify my work experience so I can get my designation right after I finish my final two courses. So basically, I am sort of getting to the final stage of my plans. Just a few more mountains to climb before I get to the top. I know I can do this. Or else all those years of sweat, tears, blood and insults (by other ppl) will be gone for naught. I will not, and cannot let anything derail me. I simply cannot let myself be like those guys who worked as waiters, on shop aisles or cashiers. I simply won’t allow myself to that kind of level.

To conclude this post (and to cheer myself up), here are some songs that I have found to be very encouraging (pay attention to the lyrics!). They are:

(1)The iDOLM@STER OP – READY!

(2) The iDOLM@STER Episode 6 ED -　THE IDOLM@STER

Needless to say it’s one of my favourite series this season!

What happens when I go out = LOTS of twitting xDD

So yeah, havent been blogging this past few days because it has been busy. A little mini summary I guess?

Fri: I got informed that a subgroup wants to “hire” me to work as a TL for Yosuga no Sora (YNS). Well I can’t say no can I? It’s my fav show this season after all (althou ep 2 was kinda let down, thou still not bad). So what happened was I tl’ed the OP and INS in the span of 2 hours just to show that “I AM QUALIFY TO TL XXXYYY”…it wasn’t pleasant since I started at like 2 am and I was like 30% asleep. And i’ll rather tl the actual episode than songs…trust me, it’s NOT pleasant.

Sat: I don’t think I even did anything that day, then somehow tl yns ep 1 since I was so bored. Wow, I can’t believe I just typed that.

Sun: Darts. The usual. It was a semi good/bad day. I was able to win a number of games, yet still got crapped on by my seniors because well, they are seniors. Bring it on, fuel my fire. That’s seriously what I need.

Mon: Went to Hooters with a few friends, I only ate 20 wings compare to 35 the last time. What a shame. But it was a GREAT time. To be honest, I really don’t know how many times I will be able to go out like this. So I really want to enjoy it while it lasts. The twitting sure was fun xDDDD

Yosuga no Sora afterwards. Nuff said? Then tl’ed till like 4 am because of facebook/twitter. They are so addictive to be honest. Well doesn’t help that the pics I took was great…and even better for discussion xDD

Tues: Darts. I performed alright…well of course it have been better, did my best when I shot a 47 from 87 which means I left 40 for the next person to check in 701, got two bulls in one set during crickets, almost checked double 1 in single 501 match, would have really checked if i have more than 1 dart for it, and lastly came back when i was losing by 280 in the second 501 match…well still lost by 140, but seriously, i would have just broke down if it’s like previous weeks but this time I actually came back. If my opponent didn’t check so fucking early i probably would have won. Well no more bitching, gotta bring it again next week.

Hmmm, probably “goshujin-sama” or “onii-chan” xDDDDDDDD

Due to a leak from ANN, I was able to watch oreimo 2 before it even aired in Japan. OH YEAH. Huge thanks to my subgroup buddies who told me about this (hence the sub and not raw)~ Who said it’s not worth it to stay overnight???????????? xDD It’s even better because I just happened to finish TL’ing Yosuga no Sora ep 1…so look forward to a Monday release (hopefully before ep 2 airs)!

Not going to say too much because it’s 5 am, and tl’ing 3 songs and the entire ep 1 in the past 48 hours is plain murder. orz

..but of course, this ep rocks. MAID CAFE. Nuff said? I can’t wait to get into one. AN ACTUAL AUTHENTIC MAID CAFE. *HYPER* Hey, at least I won’t act like Kyousuke once I enter one xD Thou I’ll probably be too hyper orzzzzzz

Why can’t someone like her welcome me to their school back then?!

I should hit myself back then when I said I want to give this a try first…stupid me. This series is added to my Must Watch List. Don’t you think Erika (girl in pic) is hot????? Kinda sucks that she is a vampire though…and got ditched when trying to confess to our main character Youhei xDDD It’s also funny when she got asked “are they real” in the bath house xDD and her reply? “OF COURSE THEY ARE!!!!!!!” xDDDDDDDDDDDD

Anyway, the second the op came up, is the same second that I decide that this is a MUST WATCH this season. Yes I am evil indeed =p

So yeah, anime count for now is 8, and I am deciding if I should add soredemo as well. Index is a NO, still too much talking. And for this season I will be subbing Yosuga no Sora with a new group called W**N**. I will start subbing ep 2 and ep 1 will come later. Expect some good stuff soon!

Too sleepy, me out~

Bakuman (WIN!), Ika Musume (LOL win), Kami nomi zo shiru sekai (OMFG WIN) added to the must watch list…OMG this is going to be a VERY BUSY FALL. Only Index and FORTUNE ARTERIAL have yet to air, but unless something really bad happens to them, I am pretty sure I will be watching them through out the fall. Going to give “Soredemo” and “kurugahime” a try as well.

Yosuga no Sora is def’n #1 this season. It’s more than just ecchi/fanservice. I am very very certain of that. COME TRAIN WRECK! GO SORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~

Bakuman makes me realize that I still have a dream to accomplish, just like Saikou. GO GET YOUR MANGA ANIMATED AND MARRY AZUKIIIIIIIIIIIIIII *thunkbs up*

Ika Musume…just lol lol lol xDDDD ummm well, good luck conquering the Earth I guess? xDDDDDDD

Kami nomi? I WISH I CAN APPLY EROGE INTO REAL LIFEEEEEEEEEEEE SO I CAN HAVE AN EXCUSE TO HAVE A BETTER EROGE COLLECTION THAN KIRINO ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH –*

…as if oreimo is not good enough already. Now we have something even better. MUCH BETTER.

(note: I actually wrote that last night but I thought I posted it…well guess not =p)

Instead of a sister who craves her brother in 2D, now we actually have a sister who wants her brother IN REAL FRIKKIN LIFE. WIN, WIN WIN. The girls are win (shrine maiden, class rep, ojusama, sorta-osasanajimi) but the sister takes the cake (her longggggggg hair = WINNNNNNN). Don’t know if she is an otaku, but it’s very very obvious that she doesn’t like to be outside. Probably hikiomori? That and a tsundere on top. And also you get boobs and female masturbation (WTF)! Seriously I was like wtf when I saw that maid masturbate at the end. Aside from that, what really is the best about ep 1 so far is the music and the op. I can listen to the first 1:30 of music and the 1:30 of the op for hours (oh wait, i already did that xD)…okay the insert song is excellent too. No seriously, the music/songs are pure win, up to par with School Days (Innoncent Blue and those 4/5 EDs) and KGNE (Precious Memories/Hoshizora no Waltz).

What I am not liking (or actually like) about this series is, is that it reminds me ALOT of KGNE and School Days (just look at the ED xD). Can be good, can be bad. I can’t wait for the train wrecks seriously. Hopefully no cutting stomach of pregeant woman or stabbing orz (or nice boat =p) But what I am sure is this is going to be on MUST WATCH LIST now, no doubt about that. (Actually it’s already ahead of Forte in terms of my #1 anime this season…man I love train wrecks)

What’s with sis-con anime nowadays? Kissxsis, Aki Sora, oreimo and now yousuga! And I have watched all of them! And i m not even a sis-con orz

Can’t wait for FORTUNE ARTERIAL Akai Yakusoku!!!

Enjoying the view? (YOU BET!)

Wow looks like we got a winner here!

As predicted on the Fall 10 Anime List, IT’S A DAMN MUST WATCH. DAMN, it’s so good that I want to sub it NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW orz

Yes, I want a sister who is an otaku (since I cannot be counted as one), but to be honest, even if I am Kyousuke, I would be shock to discover my sister’s umm…stash. However, it will be only for a few seconds. I know my words right after are “lend me School Days, Summer Days and Cross Days, been dying to play them since they came out” xDDDDDDD I wonder if she has KGNE in the stash? I have that game also actually xD I wonder if she plays Love Plus as well?? (i also see kissxsis, Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro Na, Saishuu Heiki Kanojo…and more that are converted to younger sister related titles xDDDD and of course, Meruru takes the cake lol) Seriously, it’s amazing how her pc game boxes form a bigger tower than the one formed by my figures xD Thumbs up instead xDDDDD

Wow it looks like I am babbling in otaku speak now even though I am not one. Anyway, can’t wait to see what’s going to happen in future eps and it’s really hard to resist myself to not watch the manga~ Also, Kirino’s figure is on HS…MUST MUST MUST RESIST!!!!!

What better way to start off the fall anime season with my #1 anime? Trust me, the 1st season is WIN. WIN. AND MORE WIN. Actually I wanted to use something more win as the post pic but I don’t want to get killed for it when it shows up as the preview pic on fb xDDDD

The op, for this ep at least, it’s the same one as last season (Ring my Bell). However, it’s performed by Tomoki ant it shows him hunting for ero-hon and it’s just winnnnnnnnnn xD The ending was sorta boring, but I expect it to be different for every ep just like last season.

Nothing really happened this episode except for some dream diving and the 3-5 second appearance of Astraea. The dream diving was a little meh~ until you hit Sohara’s dream. OMG she can become any male’s ultimate gf when she is dreaming. Seriously she is even worst than Tomoki in terms of ecchi’ness lmao xDDDDDDD

Everyone please watch this series even if you haven’t watched the old one last season (unless you hate ecchi jokes). THIS SERIES IS THAT GOOD.

Seriously I can’t believe the summer season is over already! It was a SUPER season with K-On!! (ending today), SYD (ending on Sat), Mitsudomoe (ending on Sun), Strike Witches (ending on Wed) and Amagami (which is still airing = NICE!). It’s sad to see the summer season over (especially SYD), but no worries, since fall is here! Here is the preview list, click to see pic at full size:

There are LOADS of anime that I think I will like, so let’s get started with some guaranteed ones:

Sora no Otoshimono Forte – This series is ecchi, ecchi and MORE ecchi. The main character, Tomoki’s CV used to do Kira Yamato’s voice in GS/GSD. Anyway, the first season just completely BLEW me away (flying panties, robot made from panties, temp sex change machine, handcuffs, island incident, zoo incident blah blah blah blah blah, and that’s only 1/3 of the things I like…if I need to name everything it could cover this entire post). I am expecting nothing less from this second season, starting with the introduction of Astraea. I really think I will like her more thatn Souhara or Nymph xDD So yeah, this is def. the #1 series for me this season. I guess it also helps that I have been reading the manga as well!

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai – Although I know nothing about this series, one sentence is only enough to convince me: “a tsundere sister that plays eroge.” Nuff said?

Toaru Majutsu no Index II – I remember claiming it as one of my fav anime back when episode one started, but it all went down hill from there. The ending was TERRIBLE. 85% of the series is TALK, TALK, TALK, TALK, MORE TALK. It was so bad that I deleted the entire series off my computer. Hopefully the studio has learned their lesson and season II won’t be like that. I am having really high hopes as Railgun was a HUGE SUCCESS, at least in my books. Sucks that Kuruko (love her ero CV lmaooooooooo) and Misaki are back to supporting roles again.

Try a few eps and see:

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai -This series is basically an eroge turned into real life where you have to win girls base on game scenarios. WIN. Sounds very promising, will at least give it 2-3 eps before I decide whether to continue watching…

Yosuga no Sora – An eroge turned anime series? No need to say more, I am in! Just one thing though, hopefully it’s not as overkill as KissxSis. *crosses fingers* The PV looks pretty good too~

FORTUNE ARTERIAL Akai Yakusoku – Another eroge turned anime series? DEAL. Character design looks SUPER nice too.

Shinryaku! Ika Musume – A squid girl that plans to invade the earth but instead ended up working at the beach. Lots of tsukkomi. Tons of laughs to be expected. DEAL! xDD

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls – Hmmm, is it me or does that look like Queen’s Blade PS’ed? xD Queen’s Bale was actually much better than I expected (especially the second season and OF COURSE, AIRIIIIIIIIII), so at least I am going to give this series a 2-3 ep try.

Try 1 ep and see:

MM! – Another ecchi anime, though I don’t really like the character designs as they really look like they were copied, pasted then PS’ed from Kanokon. Probably give it a try for a few eps and see if it’s worth watching.

Motto To-Love-Ru! (More Trouble!) – Guess what? yet another ecchi anime. The first season was only so-so, but willing to give it a chance to prove me wrong. (BTW my fav girls from this series are Mikan and Yami xDDDDDDDD)

STAR DRIVER Kagayaki no Takuto – My mecha anime for this season, man how I miss them (well more like I miss Gundams)…so hopefully it won’t disappoint me.

So yes, 11 series, and then we also have Gundam Unicorn II, Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu and Railgun OVA. I can almost guaranteed that I won’t be watching all 11 series once Dec hits thou…xDDDDD But I will watch the above movies/OVA for sure~

Those are the batteries and chargers that I bought from Dell ($18 per pack!). Well I was suppose to buy only one pack, but fucking Dell couldn’t fucking cancel my order in time so I ended up with two. Their cancel process is REALLY gay.

First I placed an order, two minutes later decided that I want to order thru GCR and found out that I used my bank account thru paypal instead of credit card. I then reorder the same thing under a new order thru GCR. Then I called Dell to cancel the previous one. The stupid rep said a cancel request has been sent and the order will be cancelled. CANCEL MY ASS! When I check the order status the next day (yesterday), it said SHIPPED. WTF????? I was really pissed and I really let the Dell rep have it. Well at the end, of course I can refund it, but lousy Dell has a 15% restocking fee so there’s no point really. So I ended up giving the other pack to my mother who can really use them for her wireless mouse since she is “too lazy to get my sister’s battery stock upstairs” *facepalm*…oh and btw, I gave her my laptop and wireless mice. It’s a LG T1 which I spent $2200 back in 2006. I doubt it’s even worth $300 now. Lesson learned. NEVER NEVER BUY A LAPTOP FOR ITS LOOKS AND NEVER PAY MORE THAN $1500. PERFORMANCE MATTERS…which is the reason I have my T400 and my LG netbook (much better resolution, 1366X768, screw 1024X600! lol). Anyway, this will be the last time I am going to shop at Dell. If they can’t even cancel an order within two minutes, I seriously can’t trust them at all.

Anyway, if you have read my tweets, I tweeted: “…money is flowing out like the floodgates are open orzzzzzzzzz”. Seriously. My recent spending: $35 for my own set of darts (which I havent even bought accessories for yet NOOOOOOO), $35 for beer night with tubs and princess, $36 for the batteries above, $10 to courier the transfer credit form to an accounting designation, $400 for admin fees to transfer credits, $10 to request my transcript sent to that accounting designation, $30 to request for graduation, seriously I am going to be broke very very soon. Anyone want to donate me some money? lmao

Lastly: K-on ended (special ep next week not really related to story), Strike Witches final ep next week, and SYD/Mitsudomoe are ending soon…how time flies by eh?

Yip, exactly my first reaction when I just got reminded that school starts next week.

Good thing they are all computer classes, so I should be fine as long as I attend umm…like 50% of the classes the whole semester? I actually will have the same prof for two subjects who taught me last semester…yes the one who gave me a B+ after the exam when I was getting an A before it arghhhhhhhhh. Good thing I didn’t raise hell since I have no other options orz (all three courses are in their final semesters, will not be offered anymore so there’s only one section orzzzzzzz) Lastly, one of the classes is even at 9 am – noon on Saturdays = ABSOLUTE MURDER. I will be lucky if I can attend more than 25% of the lectures for that subject orz…well to be honest I don’t think I will sleep at all before the mid-term and final exams for this subject on Friday night so I won’t overslept. I have not had a good record on waking up on Saturdays even with 5 alarm clocks (serious)…sorta like Nayuki but only on Saturdays:

“Alarms?! I don’t hear anything zzzz”

orz, took me a good 3-4 eps just to find that screenshot…okay fine i admit i was watching them on purpose instead of searching for a screenshot xDDDDD KANON IS JUST TOO GOOD 哦哦哦哦哦

The end of 2010 is almost here. Only one more year before I can get my designation…

This is my reaction after dealing with the damn twitter facebook app and Mandarake. Both are really really frustrating. The damn twitter facebook app for some reason won’t post links to facebook anymore, and Mandarake is just…ugh. They are even worst than amiami in terms of customer service…oh wait, I don’t think they even know what customer service is. Well the day in general is frustrating, so I am glad I am back writting here again lol.

At least I am looking forward to Strike Witches tonight, and since I am ranting, let me tell you what I feel about this series so far (warning: more ranting ahead).

This series start with TONS of promise in ep one, but for some reason it has not been as exciting during the last seven weeks. So the basis of this series is an army of aliens aka neuroi’s came down and invaded Earth. However, it seems they attack the Strike Witches base ONE NEUROI AT A TIME. Are the neuroi’s stupid? ..or are the directors stupid? xD Don’t tell me the neuroi’s want to see how powerful those witches are because it has been eight times where they send test neuroi’s to die…I mean, at least attack in groups of 3 or 4. Or send in something more powerful (like the one in the first episode) that won’t die within one or two shots orz And don’t talk to me about ep 7, the neuroi was killed by SQUISHED PANTIES (yes I am serious)…What could be next? A neuroi gets destroyed because it got stepped on? xD Ep 7 is a very funny ep but it’s just so orz~ Don’t get me wrong, I like what’s going on with Strike Witches so far (the OP and ED are GREAT~), but the lack of battles and the difficulty of them are just plain silly.

Lastly, why do humans keep sending in battleships and fighters if all they can do is get destroyed in the battlefield?! I am sure more can get accomplished if all those men and money used for those lousy crap can be directed to develop better equipment for the Strike Witches instead. Hmm, but I guess I can’t expect too much from an ecchi series? xD

SUP! Glad to be back! xD Well actually I wrote this at August 28th, since my marks for the summer semester just came up.

So I ended up with B+, B+, B which means I passed them all. While I am happy that I passed them, I expected 2 A’s, which for some reason became B+’s after exam (…yes I know that means I did bad on the exam orz). The B was for tax which I think I did terrible on the exam, so I am happy about that. I know I should not be bitching and be happy since I passed everything after all, but I really believe I need to place some expectations in order to drive myself to a higher level…well another 3 subjects next semester, all computer related subjects. So hopefully I can do well on them…

So alot of you e-mailed me and asked: “WTF happened on August 13th?” I guess it’s really time to come clean. It’s nothing more than a stupid mistake from me after my tax exam (aka I fooled around with cPanel without thinking…probably because I am tired.). I guess a clean start is for the best anyway. I have made some changes, like integrate twitter into the side bar, rewritten the About page, added an “all-time favourite anime” section in the Anime page, and lastly, a figure/model preorders page! Also put some new plugins/widgets (twitter is one of them)…wanted a new theme but couldn’t find anything I like, oh well. Also, thanks to everyone that visited the page down the downtime to see if there are updates ^^ Really really appreciate that!

What have I been doing lately? Same old, but instead of spamming here or facebook, I spam on Twitter instead xD I am actually itching to go blogging/bitching again. Darts on every Sunday, darts tournament in ~2 weeks, school in 1.5 weeks, watching anime, subbing SYD, so I guess life is busy as usual. xD Also bought my resin Airi figure again (and I better NOT break it this time), bought a new camera (30X optical zoom *Hyperrrrrrr*), as well as the Manaka nendoroid (been waiting on po for months!). Can’t wait for them to arrive! Still looking to buy the Yui/Mugi Live Stage Set Nendoroid at a reasonable price (~9k yen), no luck so far orz. Guess I should snatch the next one available at 10k yen else it will be a *LONG* wait…

And btw, the three entries below are entries from my old blog that I find worth keeping since they are so funny~ xDDD It’s a pity that they ended 超現實報道 at around ~Sept 09. Don’t really like the 超人好佬網 as much since well..not as funny. Anyway, 頭條新聞 ended on July 10th, wonder when it’s going to air again…
