Nurarihyon no Mago - Review

2011-12-20T23:52:00.003+08:00

Nurarihyon no Mago. It had been a long time since I've last watched something as epic as this anime. I remember when it first came out, I had been trying countless times to watch the first episode. But the situation at that time was tough. Real tough. So I had not been able to watch it when it first came out until last month. And somehow, I kinda understand the reason why I had been holding it for so long. Never giving up until I've finally watched it. Because it's awesome. It's awesome the way it is. Nurarihyon no Mago somehow gives me hope that the shounen series today are still worth the watch. Watching Nurarihyon no Mago had been an amazing journey. And when the final episode ended, I felt lonely. The longing for the next episode. And more of Rikuo's awesomeness (in fact, the awesomeness of all the three heirs of the Nura clan). I've been waiting. Day by day. But the feeling I get when I see the episodes becoming lesser and lesser each time I finished watching one episode was indescribably depressing. It's so hard to accept the fact that there's no more Nura. No more new episodes. It's like saying goodbye to a really good friend. A really tough goodbye, indeed.

Plot (9.5/10)

I especially like the flow of the whole plot development. No annoying fillers in between (although I wouldn't mind some) and everything is focused. Awesomely focused. Everything flows together nicely. And there's always more surprises. I never read the manga. So I often wait to be surprised. Especially the 2nd season. I'm really much impressed :) It's amazing. Great.

Characters (10/10)

Characters development is real awesome. I love the three heirs to bits. Every single one of them. Each of them having their very own personalities; and also their very own back stories, which never fail to impress me. The character designs are magnificent as well. Similar yet different. Unique in their very own ways. A total stand-alone character design for every single one of them. Impress. Am very much impress :)

Music (9/10)

I personally think that the 1st season's OSTs is better than the 2nd season's. Although I prefer the OP/ED of the 2nd season more than the 1st. But overall, it was not bad. It was an average. But it doesn't spoil the mood of the entire season. I would say that they did the best job in the final episode of season 2. Awesome one :)

Animation (9/10)

Great. Need me to say more? Epic battle fields. Awesome graphic. And I even saw 3D graphics in certain scenes. No complaints about the graphics. Especially season 2 :)

Overall: 9.8/10

I can't wait for a season 3. Please let it be a season 3 :( I still cannot get over the fact that it's over. I want more. To end this long review. Let's have some fan service moment of.... the proud heirs of the Nura Clan :)

The first Supreme Commander of the Nura Clan - Nurarihyon

The second Supreme Commander of the Nura Clan - Nura Rihan

The Young Master/3rd Supreme Commander of the Nura Clan - Nura Rikuo

They are the ones who make the series such a perfect/awesome/fantastic/magnificent one. Hope to see you again in Season 3 of Nurarihyon no Mago! :D

Role Models

2011-12-16T01:15:00.002+08:00

There's so many perfect characters in anime who I really adore. In short, they are the role models. The perfect ones, actually. Listing some down, there's Nura Rikuo from Nurarihyon no Mago who I adore the leadership skill very much; there's Takano from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, who I admire the courage & perfectionist attitude making him to be such a person who can dream big & realize those dreams perfectly; there's also Hikaru from Special A, smart, intelligent, perfect attitude - need me to say more?

I've got a lot to learn. But these role models had been supporting me throughout my growing stage. I'm deeply inspired. I need to grow up. I need to be better. I need to be near perfect. No one can win in everything. But I'm going to create my own miracle.

Define winning. It's not winning others. But winning yourself.

Fate/Zero Review

2011-12-05T02:20:00.001+08:00

(I'm such a failed blogger. But I'm back! For moooooooooore reviews! :D)

Another Fate series. Finished Fate/Stay Night and it was an average one for me. But ever since Fate/Zero was aired, I will say that I'm having more faith in this new franchise compared to the previous one.

First & foremost, the graphic is completely awesome, no doubt about that. Next, the character development is fascinating. Undoubtedly. But what's keeping me interested is not the battles (although I'm also looking forward to it) nor the plot development, but the characters, especially the Servants for this time. The characters this time are clearly a lot more awesome than the previous franchise, and yes, cooler (with a few exceptions). I have to note this -- I do not play the Visual Novel, and I will find my time to actually play one. To be honest, the story does not really capture my attention, and that's the main reason pulling me away from playing/reading the Visual Novels and the light novels. But I would watch the anime. For the great characters & graphics.

I'm currently in my 4th episode when I'm writing this & I would say that there's lots more to expect from this series. Am looking forward to any twist coming up ahead, and yes, more characters development :)

Bakuman S1 Review

2011-12-05T02:06:00.001+08:00

Bakuman is a really inspiring & motivating series. I've started off the series with concrete belief that this series will definitely be an awesome one because of the faith I have with the original creator, and it did not disappoint me. I watched this series in an on-and-off basis, but it always manages to impress me, making me to stick myself in front of the screen for a full 20 minutes. The most awesome(?) part is when the series tends to end one episode with cliffhangers (especially when some results are going to be announced) and you will go like "aww man, don't stop there! Now where's the next episode?". Somehow, it's perfect in building up tension and then holding you at the edge of the mountain preventing you to continue moving. I find the tension and psychological headaches worked well on me.

I've mentioned that the series is really inspiring & motivating. And I mean it. You follow the dream of two teenagers; you see how determined they are in realizing & moving towards their dreams; you see how they got up again & again even after one & another failures. Somehow, the spirit just blends in to you. It affected me in a good way. Sometimes it makes me guilty - "what am I doing here slacking my time off when I can actually work as hard as them?" - despite being a really egoistic person & a person with extreme high self-esteem myself, I have to admit that I'm beaten - be it fictional or not.

I'm really impressed. Watch it to get inspired & motivated. And I'm moving on to the next season.

(Not going to comment about the overall character/plot developments until I've finished the 2nd season.)

Till then! :)

Call Me Later - Ao no Exorcist Insert 19

2011-11-20T15:21:00.001+08:00

In the middle of night
I was far from the flight
They freely pass me by

Then I'm totally out of space and seeking my friends
Is there anyone who needs me?
I hear what you say
There's the tiniest hope
You can change yourself
If you want to
Then you find the door
We can walk from the past
I was a frog in a well

Smile like you've never done
I'm so fine
Then you hold me tight under bad weather
If you understand why
I was crying on the river
So dwell on my self
All the time

And you follow the light
I was far from the flight
They freely pass me by

Then I'm totally out of space and seeking my friends
Is there anyone who needs me?

I hear what you say
There's the tiniest hope
You can change yourself
If you want to
Then you find the door
We can walk from the past
I was a frog in a well

Smile like you've never done
I'm so fine
Then you hold me tight under bad weather
If you understand why
I was crying on the river so
Dwell on my self
All the time

Junjou Egoist - Same-Sex Relationship Perception

2011-10-30T20:00:00.000+08:00

This is my favorite couple from Junjou Romantica. I really admire the way Japanese perceive love. From what I understand, they look at love as the genuine feeling between two persons, no matter what the gender is, hence, explaining the openness of the society in accepting same-sex relationship. Personally, I've got nothing against homosexuals. For me, if you truly love a person, the gender and the age is nothing.

I'm hoping more of Junjou Egoist. Such a sweet couple :) Sweet voice actors as well, both of them. And I do realized that Ito Kentarou as the CV for similar uke characters like Hiroki really catches me all the time. (eg: Ranmaru from Ikoku Irokoi Romantan).

Perfect Love?

2011-10-20T23:48:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I do wonder if the "perfect love" only exist in anime? Been hooked up with Sekaiichi Hatsukoi recently and this time, it was Takano who took all my attention in the whole series. Previously in Junjou Romantica (from the same author), it was Hiroki. This makes me wonder. I am a media student and I study media text & content. So when I try to combine these two aspects together, I find myself really contradicting. Media content - Reflection or Expectation? (Hey! This might be a great research topic!). And now I wonder. Both Takano and Hiroki are egoistic persons, hard on themselves, hard on others. I don't think I want someone like this as my boyfriend in real life. But, the fact that both contributes unconditioned love towards the persons they love, it really touches me.

I got no idea why but when I watch yaoi, I feel the romantic relationships between the characters more real. Am currently doing a research on the impact of yaoi exposure towards the audience's perceptions towards homosexuals in the society. I got no idea how far can a person go for love. But if there is really a person like Takano, I'm pretty sure the girl/boyfriend will be the happiest person on Earth :)

Started Kobato!

2010-11-16T21:19:00.003+08:00

Kobato on the way! :D Currently in episode 4.

The reason why I started this anime was because of the story plot. I sensed that there will be a lot of emotional and sensational stories in it and thus, I decided to watch. Yes, I am a big fan of emotional and sensational stories :)

So far so good I would say. But more reviews and comments will be up! Stay tune :P

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Finale Review

2010-07-09T22:55:00.004+08:00

Finally the second series comes to an end. It was surely a long journey and I would say it was worth it in following the series all the way long :) Fullmetal Alchemist had been changing my life in a pretty interesting way since I got in touch with this meaningful series. The way the plot is scripted and presented is indeed an awesome and unique one and that's what makes this series one of my all-time-favorite anime :) However, if I am to compare between the finale of the first series and the second one, I would still say that I prefer the finale of the first series. Maybe to me it is more emotional appealing and more, how to say, relevant to me. But the new series's one is not as bad, though. At least everything fall in the right place and just basing on that, it is definitely a pleasant one :D

It was a long journey with FMA. A meaningful one, indeed. Overall, I would still prefer the first series. Maybe because I was more influenced by the first series rather than the second one; and the first series was my first contact in giving me a huge impact towards the series.

Now some screenshots on the final episode of this amazing series. Hopefully more similar series will be produced in the future. We definitely need more excitement in life :D

What's with the mustache? But I am glad Roy got out of the whole chaos being uninjured :)

It's so sweet :P

...and Pride is definitely cute :)

Okay. Off with this. Emotionally disturbing now :(

The date 9th June 2010. Really can't wait for it :D :D

Clannad : Ep.1 - Ep. 9

2010-05-16T15:25:00.004+08:00

Alright. So I started off with Clannad, another KeyAni Production which I am pretty sure it will contain lots of emotional appealing moments. Maybe that's practically what I need now. But anyway, I am interested in emotional appealing series but due to the hectic schedule of life, I don't seem to be able to find a suitable time to sit down and watch this series properly.

As usual, the series started off with the introduction of characters and a little bit background explanation of them. I find the characters interesting, well, although it's still with the usual different personalities and the usual you-will-never-find-this-type-of-person in life characters lol. But anyway, most of them are really cute ( I am a girl ) and yeah, it's really an eye-candy to look at such cute characters in anime :D

The first arc was Fuuko's arc. I find her voice awesomely cute, like, seriously. But her story is kinda sad. Well, I absolutely understand the feeling of gaining nothing in the end when you had put in so much effort. And the worst thing is yourself being forgotten. How worse more can it be? But Fuuko's arc made me have an insight to the cuteness of a starfish. Haha yeah I've seen one before but before this, the only starfish I can relate to is Patrick from Spongebob Squarepants XD

Overall, it was an awesome story. I totally appreciate others effort in making something done. It's just touching ( to me ). And as usual, the ending was enough to make people get emotionally depressed for few hours. Sometimes, life is just unfair. No matter how much you put in, you might just end up in the worst situation. But believe me, like what is shown in Fuuko's arc, the effort you put in, although it might not guarantee 100% success, but in the end, it will still bear something good. So, never try, never know, right? :P

Oh, and this series also made me realized how cute the Dango family can be. It's like, so soft and so bouncy haha~! Never will find it in Malaysia, though. But maybe I can try making my own ones? Woah it sure will be fun :D Maybe I should make one box of it for my boyfriend haha!

To end the post, here's some screenshots from the Fuuko's arc :

Getting married in school.. Urgh no thanks for me. I think I still prefer some place like the church or somewhere else more romantic. Maybe a place with lots of memories with it should be fine as well :D

Kino's Journey Ep. 10 & 11

2010-05-14T01:18:00.003+08:00

Kino's Journey: Ep. 10 & 11. I think this two episodes had started to capture my attention back on Kino's Journey. To be frank, I was attracted to start watching this kinda extraordinary anime because of the deepness of the story. In the sense of, there's a lot of life stories in it and that's exactly what caught my attention. However, my attention wavered halfway through when the story plot started to become a bit too unrealistic ( despite me having the perception that this anime is on realistic one ). But these two episodes were awesome.

Episode 10 was talking about mechanical dolls. Well, I would like to have a mechanical/robot doll to help me do my house chores but in the same time I am afraid as well, especially when I develop deep feelings towards this doll. For example ( and a mild one too ), assume I get a really good-looking, talented, perfect guy doll and I fall in love with him. It would be so sad that the fact that he is a doll, not a real human, right? Well, I guess that's the pro and the con.

But I was quite amazed with how loyal dolls can actually be, towards human, and their owner. "We are designed to be useful to humans. If humans do not need us, then what's the purpose of our existence?" It's quite sad actually. I wonder if dolls have emotions too, like the three dolls in episode 10? If yes they do, it would be really sad, right? Born just to serve the humans. If I am the doll, I would rather deactivate myself.

Episode 11 talked about self-consciousness. People are said to possess desires because of their self-consciousness. So, if we erase the self-consciousness in ourselves, that means that we won't have any desires? Woah, then I bet the world will be so boring to even consider living in :S I mean, like seriously. Humans are interesting and wonderful because of our desires. That's what makes the world so meaningful and so not dull. If we erase our consciousness, then what are we living for? Weird, right? And to call a person who does not possess any desires as a 'Wise Men', I would rather call the person lifeless.

Kino's Journey Ep. 9

2010-05-13T15:41:00.003+08:00

Kino's Journey Epi. 9 talks about censorship of books, where in this particular country, books are collected from all over the world but are categorized under harmless and harmful books. Apparently, to this country, harmless books are basically those how-to books and children books; whereas the harmful books are mostly fictions and those considered to be containing fantasies contents in it.

If I am to live in that country, I would imagine how boring and how lifeless my life will be. I do wonder whether the citizens in the country actually grows or not, with only those so-called harmless books to read on. Well, maybe they can be mature, but still, I bet their world will be so gorgeously small, learning the fact that they never even get to know the outside world.

Kaicho wa Maid-sama Ep. 6

2010-05-13T01:55:00.005+08:00

Erm well I guess it had been a long time since I last updated on the blog right? Haha! Sorry readers I am having some personal problems lately but I will still try to update the blog as much as I can so as the blog doesn't die :)

Anyhow, this post will be on Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Episode 6. In any case, I think Misaki really portrays Hikaru from Special A more and more, don't you think so? Both are such perfectionist and are so scared of losing to a guy, which apparently, in Kaichou's case, Usui. But I do think that Usui is a sweety. He is really the type of guy that any girl will fall for, isn't he? :P But I also think that both Misaki and Usui make a sweet pair, don't you think so? :D

Anyhow, the new episode is kinda sweet. I don't expect the kiss to come so soon. And, seriously, if any person can just jump off the roof for me I will definitely smack the person to death before he can even crawl up and say "I'm okay". Oh gosh. Think of what will Misaki feel when you jump off the roof, Usui. It might results in lifelong regrets of others! But anyhow, anything can happen in anime and to be honest, I personally thinks that the act of Usui is kinda touching. At least he has the preparation and determination to sacrifice for the person he likes. This is what we call true love haha! :D

Next day is the bunny day? Sometimes I wonder how does it feel like working in a maid cafe. But obviously I won't even try working there. I might have Misaki's personalities but I still cannot get myself to serve others :S Maybe my pride is just too high urgh. But the job it's kinda fun, right? Nah, of course the people working in there must be presentable as well so as to protect the image of the place :D

Personally, I think this picture is kinda cool. Got the assassin feeling right? Haha! Adios! :D

Kaicho wa Maid-sama First Impression

2010-04-04T11:59:00.003+08:00

First impression review of Kaichou wa Maid-sama. Well basically, I love the graphics. Yup characters are well-drawn. Misaki is so pretty and Usui is so kakoii. Story development wise, talking about the pace, well, common to most of the 1st episode in anime, the pace is actually quite fast but overall, it is still an okay :)

I do not really fancy the opening song. It is too common but well I guess this is what it usually be so it should be okay. But the ending song is nice. Graphic wise, the effects used in the MV is really awesome. Eye candy I would say :)

Yeah the plot is kinda cliche but it gets me because it is emotionally appeal. And anyhow, Misaki got my personality :P Looking forward to the next episode :)

Rated : 3.5 / 5.0

Persona 3 Fes : The Journey

2009-09-25T02:21:00.003+08:00

Persona 3 Fes : The Journey

I finally finished 'The Journey' after 58 hours of gameplay. Fuuu~~ Contented. But I kinda dislike the ending. It's definitely not the ending I want and it nearly made me cried. Okay. Seriously. It's not like I got the bad ending or what, it's the true ending and yet it is so sad. *SPOILERS* I don't understand just why he has to go. I can't understand. He is like just, so innocent . Just only he was possesed by Death but that is not what he wants. Although from what Igor said, he had found 'the answer of life', but does that mean that, when you found the answer, then you will have no other choice but to die? I still don't know the answer yet but I had started 'The Answer' and I believe my questions will be answered there. I mean, come on, I had played as him for the whole entire game! What happens to all the Social Link? All the people who trust him and those bonds which are not breakeable anymore? Will people still remember him? Why? Just why? I thought it would be a happy ending. Okay, yeah, instead of forgetting eveyrthing, all the memories when they were together, the group mates gained back their memories, but just why does he have to go? It's just... unpredictable. He is always tired when he came back from the final battle, I actually thought he died in the last battle but apparently he came back and made me believed that he is actually alive and he can leads a life together with the others happily . But I can't believe that his tiredness is actually signalling the end of his life. This is just... so sad... I am still under depression now. This is the first ever time, that I ever played a RPG game where the protagonist died. I am so sad kay. *sobs* R.I.P. I am definitely gonna finish 'The Answer', cause I really want to know the ANSWER.

Atashinchi no Danshi アタシんちの男子

Description:

These days, the term "homeless" has taken on new meaning. There are youths referred to as "net cafe refugees," who have neither a job nor a place to live, but who find themselves hopping around internet cafes. One such refugee is a 20-year-old girl named Chisato, who lost her mother at a young age due to sickness. She spent her youth trying to escape from the huge debt her father left her, and her battle with the repossessors unfolded every night. However, her life changed after meeting one man named Shinzo, changing her views on the meaning of "family." Shinzo comes from a rich family tracing back to the Edo period, and he adopted six good-looking sons with the hope of one becoming his successor, but all of them have strange personalities. Shinzo promises to free Chisato from her debt if she marries him and becomes the mother of his sons. However, a life with these six guys under one roof will not go smoothly.

WHYs in AMG

2009-09-12T20:55:00.004+08:00

I was thinking of something and the thought of blogging just came into mind. Well, now I will be talking about the WHYs in anime/manga/game. Let's start ^.^

Q1 : Why are animes/mangas/games so unrealistic?

Well, personally, I think unrealistic in animes/games/manga makes us more interested to watch. It's not that these unrealistic stuffs always happen in AMG. Take some example from the movies or TV series we have in market now. Twilight vs Vampire Knight. Do vampires really exist? Or maybe, do vampires sparkles? It seems that the movie is more unrealistic than the anime, right? Besides that, despite ourselves as AMG fans, we are more interested in things that does not or will never happen in our world we are living in.

Q2 : Why do most characters always live alone?

I guess to answer this question, we have to trace back to Japan's culture. Japanese's teens are more likely to live independently and they want to be independent without depending on their parents. Examples of characters who does not live with their siblings are : Yuki Eiri from Gravitation, Usami from Junjou Romantica. Of course there are also characters who live with their parents ( Shibuya Yuuri from Kyo Kara Maoh! , Niwa Daisuke from D.N. Angel ) and what I can conclude here is, most characters who do not stay with their parents may be facing certain problems.

Usami from Junjou Romantica is one of the examples of the characters who does not live with their parents

That's all for today. I know's it's short but I am just too busy and I know I HAVE to update =3

Okay, from what I know, this anime is adapted from an award-winning manga by Fumi Yoshinaga. But this was not why I decided to watch it. Well, as you can see from the genres I started above, it was supposed to be shounen-ai. Yup. I wanted to watch it cause I am always obsessed with yaoi/shounen-ai, haha, as you should be well-informed of (>///<). But after I finished ( believe me, I finished it in one day ), I can't see where is the shounen-ai at all.

Okay, to make this more clear, yeah there is a gay guy in there. Ono is a devilish gay. Devilish as in, whoever he is interested in, they will fall in love with him no matter the opponent is a straight or a gay. Haha. Yeah there is a gay in there, but there is no story revolving around the love stories between two men, which can only be categorised under shounen-ai. And plus, Tachibana, who was the only man who had rejected Ono's love proposal, is a total straight guy and is only interested in women. So where is the love story? Haha.

Okay to make you guyz understand more, this story revolves around a cake cafe named 'Antique', where there is only 4 male workers working in there. The 2 waiters(?), Tachibana the master and his house-keeper, Chikage and 2 chiefs, Ono the devilish gay and Eiji the ex-world champion boxer. More reviews below.

Characters :

Tachibana : Well, he is the owner of the cake cafe 'Antique' and also my favorite character in the series. 23 years ago, he was kidnapped but rescued 2 years later. He forgotten everything that had happened when he was kidnapped except that he remembered that the kidnapper fed him nothing but cake. ( It was not stated clearly in the anime but ... ) in order to find the kidnapper, he opened this 'Antique' cake cafe. He is also the only men who rejected Ono's confession and is also a total straight guy.

Ono : Well, as mentioned above, he is the devilish gay. Tachibana was the only man who rejected his love and in the same time, was seriously hurt hearing Tachibana's screaming of 'it made me wanna puke. Die, homo! ' He met Tachibana once again when he was looking for a job in the cake cafe, however he does not remember Tachibana ( well he did after that XD ). He is a genius in making cakes and he had experience in making cakes in France as well.

Chikage : Tachibana's housekeeper. He is very close to Tachibana. However, he is slow in mind and needs more time than the others to remember things. That's why Tachibana always says that he takes care of Chikage more than Chikage takes care of him. However, he is very loyal. He fell in love with Ono but is not daring enough to continue the relationship with him. His innocent thinking and cute personality attract me though (>///<) Eiji : Perhaps the youngest of them all ( I think ). An ex-world champion boxer who gave up on boxing after he realised that his retina is having problems. A boy who loves to eat cake and is also willing to work extra hard to make himself useful.

Voices

Tachibana voiced by Fujiwara Keiji: I think he really did a good job voicing Tachibana, although I always got an image of Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist lol!

Ono voiced by Miki Shinichiro : Oh well, I think it's quite suitable haha! Hmm... But it will be much better when he did the voicing for the devilish-form of Ono rather than the chief form. You know what I mean *evil laugh*

Eji voiced by Miyano Mamoru : I was kinda surprised. To be honest, I did not check the seiyuu list before I watched this anime. But I was able to distinguish Miyano's voice once I heard Eiji speaks. Why I said I was surprised? Cause Miyano seldom voices for this type of character lol. But I think it was really good. I am impressed. Miyano is actually capable of voicing different types of characters. I am so glad =) Nice one!

Arts & Graphics

Nice! Really. The drawings are nice, although the colour can be a bit more darker but maybe it is like that to show the uniqueness of the setting so I don't mind =) The chibis are cute. Seriously cute. You know, the feeling of pinching the characters on the cheek? haha! Yup, that's it. I would give 10/10 for it XD

Story/Plot

The story.... hmmm... if I have to say, it is not as interesting as any other nice animes I had seen. But it doesn't mean it is not worth watching (>.<) You can watch it for a laugh. And of course, if you take a liking on any characters in it, you will be longing to watch more of it ( like me haha! ) Oh, yeah! You can watch it to know more cakes' names as well haha! Really, the cakes in it made me hungry. They are all so pretty and so cute! Awwww~~~~

Overall Rating :
Story / Plot : 7
Characters : 9
Music : 6.5
Arts & Graphics : 9.5
Voices : 8.5

Overall : 8

So that's it. I am going to read the manga for more woohoo~! I really love this XD Hope you enjoyed the review =)

Saariya Best Ending Getto Omedeto Gozaimasu~!! XD XD

At last~ At long last. Saariya was the first character I tried to get but it was also the last character I finally managed to get the best ending. Oh gosh why?! Because Saariya is the main character in the game ( kinda obvious lol ) and in order to get his best ending, I need to get the other characters' best ending first before I can get his. And Saariya is also the ONLY character who got 2 endings -- the BAD one and the BEST one =) And of course, only Saariya's best ending got credit and song, the best part is, the song is sang by Saariya himself! Gosh Moe~~!! XD XD Okay, so I will save my saliva first and go on with the walkthrough haha. Here it is :

Saariya Root CG Story No.1

「な。。。なに。。。？」
夢だ、と。
ここはどこなのだろう。
この人は一体誰なのだろう。
こんなにも綺麗な瞳を持つ人がいるのだろう、と。
「お前が、言い伝えの姫巫女になるのか」
「ちょ。。。ちょと待って！ここは何処ですか？！貴方は。。。誰？！」
「何を言ってる？。。。お前は私が探し求める乙女でわないのか？ならば。。。賊か？」
「俺の聞きたい答えは一つだけだ。だから「はい」か「いいえ」だけで答えろう」
「俺が求める女は一人。。。－－－」
「もしお前が私が探している女でなければ、この場で斬る」

[ Wh...What? ]
This is a dream.
What is this place.
Who is this.
I never thought that there will be a person with such beautiful eyes.
[ Are you the one who they call Miko-hime? ]
[ Wa...Wait! What is this place?! Who are you?! ]
[ What are you saying? .... You are not the girl I am looking for? Then... A thief? ]
[ The answer that I want to hear is only one. Just say 'Yes' or 'No'. ]
[ The girl that I am looking for... ]
[ If you are not the girl I am looking for, I will kill you right now. ]

Saariya Root CG Story No.2

「サ一リヤ。。。」
「この瞳は何も映さない。。。。どんな黒い影も」
「姫。この「世界」の誰よりも強くあれ。お前ならそれが出来る。」
「出来ないよ。止めてよ。。。そんなこと言わないで」
こんな弱い自分をサ一リヤに見せたくなかった。
けれど、サ一リヤの優しい声が、腕が、私をどんどん弱くしていく。
「どうして？どうして私がこんな所にいるの？」
「｛選ばれた｝だから。お前が」
「誰に？まさかこの「世界」の神様にとでも言うの？」
サ一リヤの身体からは、甘い香りがしていた。
「私は、ただの女の子でしかないよ」
「そうかもしれない」
「でも、そうではないかもしれない」
「だが、俺はお前を信じよう」
「もし、お前が俺を王を選ぶなくとも。。。俺はお前の決断を信じよう」
いつもとは違う、優しくあやすような声。
あんなにむかつくサ一リヤなのに、一番大嫌いなサ一リヤなのに今は側にいてって欲しいと思う私は、ずるくて卑怯な女の子だ。

[ Saariya... ]
[ These eyes won't reflect anything.... No matter what dark shadows... ]
[ Hime. Stronger than anyone on this 'world'. You can definitely do that. ]
[ I can't do it. Stop... Don't say those kind of words ]
I don't want Saariya to see such a weak me.
But, Saariya's kind voice, kind hands, are making me weaker.
[ Why? Why am I in such place? ]
[ Because you are 'chosen' ]
[ By who? Is it the God in this world? ]
I can feel the nice fragrance coming from Saariya's body.
[ I am only a normal girl ]
[ Maybe ]
[ But, maybe not ]
[ However, I believe you ]
[ Even if you does not chose me as the next king... I will still believe in your decision ]
Not the usual kind voice of Saariya.
Even though he is the hateful Saariya, the Saariya which I hate most, but now I hope he will stay by my side. I only think of this me as a coward, and as a cunning girl.

Small Remark : I LOVE SAARIYA IN THIS ROBE~~!!!! XD XD XD

Saariya's Root CG Story No.3

「。。。笑ってる？」
それは、とてもとても楽しいそうな笑い声だった。
そして、とてもとても楽しいそうな笑顔だった。
「ははは、飲んでって！」

[ ... Laughing? ]
That is a very very hapy laughter.
And also a very very happy face.
[ Hahaha, drink! ]

Saariya Root CG Story No.4

「。。。！？」
「ご、ごごごご、ごめなさい！」
見てはいけないものを見てしまった気がして、私は慌てて背を向けた。
「なんだお前か。いきなりどうした」
（な。。。なに？私ばかり照れてまるで馬鹿みたい。。。）
（べ。。。別にサ一リヤの着替えなんか恥かしいくないし！）
「どうした？早く言え！」
サ一リヤの表情は本当にいつもと変わらなかった。
「サ一リヤ王子。純粋で可愛らし姫様を相手にそのようなきついお言葉はいけませんわ」
「もっと優しいお言葉でないと。。。怯えてしまいますわ」
「。。。」
「別に。。。俺があいつに優しい言葉を。。。」
「。。。！！」
「まあサ一リヤ様ったら冷たいお方」
「サ一リヤの馬鹿！！！馬鹿馬鹿馬鹿！！！！」

[ ...?! ]
[ So..Sosososo..Sorry!!! ]
When I realised I am looking at something I am not supposed to look, I turned my back fast.
[ Oh it's you. What it is so sudden ]
( Wh.. What? Getting so embarrassed so much like this, like a dummy )
( Th... That's nothing to be embarrassed about Saariya's changing! )
[ What it is? Say faster! ]
Saariya's emotion really is the usual one.
[ Saariya-ouji, you can't use those type of attitude when you are talking to such pure and cute hime-sama ]
[ If you don't use a kinder attitude, hime-sama will be scared ]
[ ... ]
[ That's.... I don't have the need to be kind to this fellow... ]
[ ...!! ]
[ Maa Saariya-sama is such a cold person ]
[ Saariya no baka! Bakabakabaka!!! ]

Saariya's Root CG Story No.5

（。。。サ一リヤが。。。歌ってる。。。）
「この曲は。。。。母が俺に創ってくれた歌だ」
「俺には。。。母の記憶など無かったから」

( ... Saariya... is singing... )
[ This song... is a song my mom made for me ]
[ I ... don't have memories of my mom ]

Saariya Root CG Story No.6

「口を開けろ」
「。。。え？！」
「美味いか？」
私はそうして柘榴を食べさせてくれるサ一リヤを見つめながら、また泣きたくなる。
こんなふうに優しいくれてくれなくれいいのに、と。
「。。。お前でなければ良かったのに」
「え。。。？」
「あの泉から出てきたのがお前でなければ良かったのに」
「。。。お前と、会わなければ良かった」

[ Open your mouth ]
[ ... Eh? ]
[ Delicious? ]
I look at the Saariya who is giving me the zakuro, suddenly feel like crying.
It is okay not to be so kind to me.
[ ... It would be good if it's not you ]
[ Eh...? ]
[ It would be good if you are not the one who came out from the pool ]
[ ... It would be good if I did not meet you ]

Saariya Root CG Story No.7

「そんなこと言わないで。私を遠ざけないで。。。！！」
「。。。それは。。。サ一リヤともう逢えなくなちあうてことでしょう？！」
「そんなの。。。やだ」
「サ一リヤと離れるんなんて。。。嫌だ。。。」
「一緒に、来られないの？」
「サ一リヤが現実に来る方法はないの？」
「なぜ俺が。。。ここを離れなければならない」
「俺に。。。何を言わせたいのだ」
「嫌いだっと言って」
「もう顔も見たくないって」
「もう俺の前から消えろって。。。そう言って」
「そうすれば。。。きっと私は諦められる」
「だから。。。傷つけ」
「貴方のことを嫌いになるから」
「。。。はは。。。」
「お前をあの現実に戻す」
「この世界に蒼い空はない」
「眩しい光もない」
「お前が好きな。。。あの花は咲かない」

[ Don't say those kind of words! Don't leave me! ]
[ That only means... I will never be able to see Saariya again right! ]
[ I ... don't want that...]
[ I don't want... to leave Saariya... ]
[ Can you come with me? ]
[ Is there no other way that can make Saariya to come over to the real world? ]
[ Why... do I have to leave here? ]
[ What do you... want me to say?]
[ Say you hate me ]
[ Say you don't want to see me anymore ]
[ Just disappear now ... say that... ]
[ If you do that, then definitely I will give up]
[ That's why... Hurt me... ]
[ Then I will definitely hate you ]

[ ...Haha... ]

[ You are to go back to the real world ]

[ This world don't have blue sky ]

[ Don't have shining light ]

[ The flower that you like... It won't bloom here ]

「夢は終わりだ」

「お前にとってこれは夢だ。目覚めれば忘れてしまう夢なのだ」

「お前はこの世界を忘れるーーそして俺をわすれる」

「あの花が咲くところを。。。見てみたかった」

「お別れだ。俺が愛したたった一人の姫君よ」

[ The dream ends now ]

[ For you this is just a dream. When you wake up you will forget about this dream ]

[ You will forget about this world -- And you will forget about me ]

[ The time when the flower blooms... I really want to see it ]

[ Goodbye. The only one princess that I love ]

「サーリヤ。眠ってるんだよね？」

[ Saariya?! ]

[ Saariya. Are you sleeping? ]

About Otome Game

2009-08-20T19:02:00.003+08:00

Hey guyz! Since I had started to write about Otome Games, do you guyz know what is an Otome Game? Well, here's some brief description of it :

- Game targeted towards female market.
- One of the main goals, beside the plot goals, is to develop a romantic relationship between the player character ( female ) with one of several male characters.
- Common elements : Importance of voice acting, CG skills, small epilogue/set scenes at the end of the game when a character is successfully finished.
- Goal : To have your desired partner fall in love with you ( with a confession of love / proposal at the end ) and have a relationship with them
- Usually a single female main character and several good-looking males of varying 'types'.
- Types : Visual novel and Simulation
- Visual novel : Player proceeds in the story by selecting dialougue or action choices which affect their relationship.
- Simulation : Mini games, Raising stats. Player has several parameters ( look, style, intelligence, talent etc ) that can be raised through various activities in gameplay.The potential partners usually require a certain parameter or parameters to be at a certain level for them to fall in love with you.
- Involves asking or being asked on dates by the love interest, doing an activity with them, and responding to their questions or comments. The player has a choice of responses, and a correct answer will raise your standing with that character.
- Love interests are usually voiced by well-known voice actors.
- At certain points, or when the player passes certain requirements, special events can occur, often with a 'CG' (computer graphic) as a reward. This CG is a set picture featuring the love interest and sometimes the main character in a pose, and some dialogue.

Garnet Cradle Walkthrough -- Teshigawara Touya

2009-08-19T16:50:00.004+08:00

Yoho~! people! So I finished Teshigawara Touya's root in Garnet Cradle. すごく満足した！Oh I was supposed to finish up Saariya's root ( he is still my favorite character in the game =p ) but when I finished with the first ending ( which was a sad one, unfortunately T.T ), I only realised that I need to finish up the other characters' roots first before I can get the best ending for Saariya's root *sighs* So I started up with Touya's. Oh gosh he is such a cutie~! (>///<) I mean his appearance is very kakoii but he got this super duper cute personality that made me wanna pinch him so much when I played his root. Okay so here goes, the walkthrough =)

Okay, so for now, I won't go through the story as how I did for Kichiku Megane R cause the story of every root is really too long. I think I will use up the whole page of this blog for just one post lol. So what I am going to do now is, I will post the CGs of Touya's root and also some brief overview of the overall story in the root. Trust me, it's a really sweet and cute one. Awww~ I want a boyfriend like Touya~ So cute~ (>///<)

So let's start off shall we? Starting with the hero of the story of this root -- TESHIGAWARA TOUYA!!! XD

「はは、相変わらずだなあ勅使河原。あの、俺には絶対話掛けるなと言わんばかりな空気。」
「でもきっと来期の生徒会長はあいつだろうね。」
勅使河原透矢、と云う名の彼を知らない生徒は多分この学園にはいないと思う。

[ Haha, the usual Teshigawara. That 'don't ever come and talk to me' feeling. ]
[ But definitely he will be the next President of the Student Council. ]
Teshigawara Touya. The name that is known by everyone in the academy.

（。。。凄い）
（。。。あんな真剣な顔。。。初めてみた。。。）
私は、そう思った自分の心に驚いた。
そして同時に、もしかして私は全然勅使河原君のことを分かっていなかったのかもしれない、と思った。
( 。。。格好いいなあ）
一気に顔が熱くなる。
（。。。え？）

[ ....Sugoi ]
[ ... That serious face.... First time seeing it....]
I was shocked by my own thinking.
And in the same time, the thought of myself not knowing anything about Teshigawara-kun at all strkied me.
[ ...Kakkoii naaa ]
A sudden warm feeling on my face.
[ ...Eh? ]

「そのまま動くな！」
「消え去れ。。。－－－－！！」
「この馬鹿！！」
「ご。。。ごめなさい。。。」
「。。。－－－済まない。少しきつく言い過ぎた」
「宮殿まで抱かえていってやる」
「結構です！」
「強情はるな！」
「だ。。。大丈夫です！」
「本当に強情だな！」
「大丈夫たら大丈夫なんです！」
「黙れ！心配してやってるのが分からないのか？！」
「。。。え」
「。。。あ！！！」
「。。。－－－有難う。。。ございます。」

[ Just like that don't move! ]
[ Disappear---!!! ]
[ Kono baka! ] ( You dummy! )
[ So...Sorry... ]
[ ...I'm sorry... I was a bit over... ]
[ I will carry you to the castle. ]
[ It's okay! ]
[ So stubborn. ]
[ It's... It's really okay! ]
[ You are REALLY stubborn! ]
[ I said it's okay means it's okay! ]
[ Shut up! Can't you tell that I want to do this cause I am worried of you?! ]
[ ... Eh ]
[ ...Ah!!! ]
[ ...--- Thank...you... ]

「さっきも言ったけど、私このお花作り大好きなんだ！」
「。。。そうか」
「あああ。。。？！」
「。。。」
「これは紙がちょっと薄過ぎたんだ。俺のせいじゃないからな」
「うん、そうだね！　」
勅使河原君がまた紙を折始める。
「。。。えっと」
「勅使河原君はあんまりこういうの。。。好きじゃ。。。なかった？」
「別にそうは言ってない」
けれど、ずっとこそり見つめていると、勅使河原君なりに頑張って作ってるのが分かる。
「うわ！！？？」
「あ。。。！」
「広げる時には、もう少し力を抜いたほうがいいと思うよ。きっと、男の子だから力が強いんだね」
「。。。」
「ね、やってみる」
「。。。そ、それくらい分かってた！」
「。。。出来た！！！」
「わあ！綺麗なのが出来たね！」
「そうだろう！俺だってちゃんとやれば出来る！」

[ Like what I said just now, I love to create this kind of flower! ]
[ ... I see ]
[ Ah...!? ]
[ ... ]
[ This is because the paper is too thin, it's not my fault okay! ]
[ En, I see! ]
Teshigawaru-kun started to flip the flowers again.
[ ...Etto ]
[ This kind of thing... Teshigawara-kun... don't like it much? ]
[ I didn't say that]
However, from the way Teshigawara-kun focuses on the paper, I can tell that Teshigawara-kun is actually trying very hard to do it.
[ Waa..?! ]
[ Ah...! ]
[ When you open it, try to use less power. Because you are a guy, so I think that you might a bit too strong. ]
[ ... ]
[ Nee, try it. ]
[ ... Of course I know! ]
[ ... I did it!!! ]
[ Ah!!! Amazing doing! ]
[ Right?! I can do it when I am serious! ]

「逃げるな！」
「あ。。。！？」
「一体何が言いたいんだ、お前は！」
「え。。。？！」
「は。。。離して、勅使河原君！」
「離したらまた逃げるだろう！」
もう、全然意味が分からなかった。
消えろうと言ったり逃げるなと言ったり、一体勅使河原君は何を私に言いたいんだろう。
「は。。。早く帰れって言ったのは勅使河原君じゃない！」
「少しは俺の心を読め！」
「読めるわけないでしょう！大体読んだら読んだてきっとまた怒るくせに！」
「。。。！お前は俺のことが嫌いなんだな！？」
「。。。え？」
「。。。あ！」
私達は何も喋れなかった。
私と勅使河原君は、そのまま長い間見つめあっていた。
「。。。－－－今のはきっと聞き違いだ。何か聞こえていたなら総て忘れろ、消し去れ、頭の中に一欠片も残すな」
「。。。嫌」
「忘れろ！」
「忘れない！」
「忘れろ！消しされ！命令だ！」
「。。。もう、やだ」
私は泣いていた。
「どうして普通に話してくれないの？」
「他の人とは普通に話すのに」
「どうして私にばかりそんなふうに怒るの？」
「嫌いなんて思ってない！！全然！！ただ俺は。。。俺は。。。」
「俺は。。。ただ。。。」
「ただ。。。」
「。。。勅使河原君？」
「俺は。。。た、ただ、俺はお前のこ、ことが。。。」
「何でもない！きっと俺の気の迷いだ！！！でも俺は絶対にお前のことは嫌いじゃない！それだけは覚えておけ！いいな？！」

[ Don't run away! ]
[ Ah...?! ]
[ What exactly are you trying to say?! ]
[ Eh...? ]
[ Let... Let go of me, Teshigawara-kun! ]
[ If I let go of you you will run away again! ]
I don't understand him at all.
The one who asked me to disappear is him, the one who asked me not to run away is also him, what exactly is Teshigawara-kun trying to say to me?
[ Te...Teshigawara-kun is the one who asked me go back! ]
[ Why can't you just read my mind?! ]
[ How can I read your mind?! Even if I do, you will also get angry again! ]
[ ...! Do you really hate me?! ]
[ ...Eh? ]
[ ...Ah! ]
We did not say anything.
Teshigawara-kun and I just keep on looking at each other.
[ ...--- What you heard just now must be all wrong! Forget whatever you heard, destroy everything, don't even leave one piece of it in your head! ]
[ ....No ]
[ Forget about it! ]
[ I don't want to forget! ]
[ Forget about it! Destroy it! This is an order! ]
[ ...I don't want...anymore... ]
I cried.
[ Why can't we just talk to each other normally? ]
[ You can talk to others so normally. ]
[ Why are you always mad at me? ]
[ I don't hate you! None at all! I just... I... ]
[ I... just... ]
[ Just... ]
[ ... Teshigawara-kun? ]
[ I... ju..just, I.... you.... ]
[ It's nothing! I must be drowsy!!! But I definitely does not hate you! Just remember that! Okay!!!]

「本当に凄い星！零れ落ちて来そうな星ってきっとこういう星空なのかも」
「。。。落ちてくるはずないだろう」

That's all for the CGs. There is a total of 30 CGs for Touya's root so those who want it, as usual kay? Send me a message and I will send to you =)

Some comments from me. I enjoyed a lot when I played Touya's root. I laughed the whole time. I find him so adorable and cute. LOL! Definitely there is no such guy in the real world so better off ease my thirst in the game hehe~ Both of them are so sweet, and the egoness of Touya actually made me feel like bullying him more. Okay, so who's next? Hmmm.. Okay, I will play Sou-chan's root XD Awwww~~~ I want Saariya's best ending!!!!! =(

Intro of Garnet Cradle

2009-08-18T17:07:00.005+08:00

GARNET CRADLE

You will play as the heroine of the story, who is a 2nd year high-school student who just ended her spring holiday. Before she started school, she had a strange dream about herself being invited by a black cat, which possess double-colored eyes, blue on the right and green at the left, to a world called Mifutafu, which is having the same name as her academy/school. One night, she dreamed about being in the country called Mifutafu and to her astonishment, she became the holy princess of the country, who is responsible in chosing the next king of the country between the 5 princes of the country. She will have to fall in love with the one she is going to chose as a king. When she thought that what she was was merely a dream and it won't exist again, surprisingly, she went back to the palace yet again when she sleeps at night. That means, she exists in the reality during daylight and in Mifutafu during night time. Is Mifutafu really a dream? Why does the holy princess appear in both world? This is up to you to play to find out.

Since I am playing this game, I would like to do a short intro of this game to you guyz first before I get my 1st ending teehee. Yeah and sure, I will post the walkthrough as well so stay tune. Well, another PC game of Spica, but this is no BL Game lol. This is an Otome Game. That means the heroine and lots of pretty boys a.k.a bishounens (>///<) In this post, I will do the intro on the bishounens first okay. Just a small intro hehe

Prince No.1 -- Saariya

A mysterious young man who the protagonist ( that's you ) meets in the dream. He is one of the prince in Mifutafu, while the other princes actually exist in the real world as real humans, Saariya is the only prince which is nowhere to be seen in the world of the heroine. He is the 1st ever character I am trying to get now teehee. The colors of his skin and his eyes is a great mystery which leads to great secrets.

Prince No.2 -- Teshigawara Touya

He is the clever one and also the one who is chosen as the 'prince' of the academy alongside with the heroine, who is the 'princess' of the academy. Not only that, he is also engaged to the heroine by his family but he is strongly against it. He acts coldly towards the heroine and also to Saariya, who he believes that should be kicked out of Mifutafu.

Prince No.3 -- Shirato Sou

A character whom he believes himself to be the follower of the heroine. He is somehow the big-brother type who will always be there when the heroine needs someone. Sou is supposed to be in the university but in order to protect the heroine, he remains in the academy.

Prince No.4 -- Sairenji Rihito

He is the president of the student council, and also the only person who is truly aware that he exists in both worlds as well. His gentle personality makes him famous with the girls and guys in the academy. However, he also has a cold personality sometimes. Not my type though. I kinda avoid this type of person lol.

Prince No.5 -- Sakurazawa Kiichiro

He is voiced by Hirakawa Daisuke!!!!... jia nakute! He is a member of the soccer club, who is trusted not only by his member but also the students of the academy. He is often found at the small market where he is good in cooking. A hyper and happy guy who doesn't seem to have any worries.

Opening Movie of Garnet Cradle

Okay then, that's all for my small intro. I will talk more about it once I finished Saariya's ending teehee! Mata!

Continued Walkthrough ( KMR )

2009-08-18T14:57:00.001+08:00

Okay, guyz. Since I am free during my semester break, I will continue on with Kichiku Megane R's walkthrough on Honda X Katsuya teehee~ Stay tune XD

Tsubasa Chronicles : Shunraiki

2009-08-15T16:44:00.005+08:00

Tsubasa Chronicles : Shunraiki

From the above picture, you should be able to guess what am I going to talk about in this post right? Yup. I finally found time to download the newest OVA of Tsubasa Chronicles. It had been a while since I started to rewatch this anime. But oh well. Move on to the OVA, or else I will start off with more crappings lol.

This OVA is a continuous of the previous OVA : Tokyo Revolution. And there was where my all-time favaorite character Shirou Kamui made his appearance, that's why I was very excited when I watched Tokyo Revolution lol. Well, Kamui was not present in this OVA... zannen~ =( But he was mentioned , along with Subaru lol. )

Kamui ( left ) and Subaru ( right )

Haha~! Kamui's appearance in Tsubasa'a OVA is really really kakoiii~~~!!! Everything about him is soooo nice! (>///<) Well, it would be nicer if the seiyuu is Suzumura Kenichi though, the seiyuu of the original Kamui in X. ( FYI, the seiyuu for the Kamui in Tsubasa's OVA was Miyano Mamoru). And the fact that Kamui and Subaru are both vampire twins just made his appearance MORE KAKOIII ! (>///<)

Well, as I said before, this new OVA Shunraiki ( 春雷記 ) is the continuous of the previous OVA. So you will have to watch the whole Tsubasa Chronicles series ( Seasons 1 & 2 ) and the OVA Tokyo Revolution first before you can understand the story in Shunraiki. But one obvious change in the plot is, the story is becoming more and more serious and there are more cut-ins from XXX Holic as well.

Look, there's Watanuki from XXX Holic behind Sakura

Well, cut-ins between CLAMP's characters in Tsubasa Chronicles is famous between those who watch it. Not forgetting the cut-in of charaters from X. ( I just started to rewatch this awesome series today lol )

The left guy is Fuuma from X. He looks so much kakoii than the Fuuma in X. Haha~ A nicer guy as well. Talking about the Fuuma in X made me angry =.=

From Left : Tomoyo ( original from Cardcaptor Sakura ), Fuuma again, Tomoyo's sister ( I forgot the name =S )

Double Syaoran, remember that? The replica one and the original one. But this time, it seems that the Sakura is also a fake one. Oh gosh. CLAMP just like to make a normal story complicated. But oh well, this is where the excitement is =)

Replica Syaoran. His right eye is sapphire-blue, you realised? It's Fay's eye. Gosh.. Poor Fay =(

This is the original Syaoran, with cute Mokona on his back. Is it only me but I realised the size of Mokona just get smaller and smaller if you compare it's size between the series and the OVA XD

This is a shocking scene, yes I know. Just watch to find out what happen. Not going to spoil it for you guyz =p

Okay, so the Sakura is a fake one. Now where's the real one? I'm hoping for more OVAs to come out, at least give us fans a proper conclusion haha.

That's all. Overall, this is yet another nice OVA. Although, as usual, lots of cliff hangings, it is still a nice one. I love the idea of characters cut-ins from different series hehe.

Rating :

Story : 7.5
Music : 10 ( the music is a masterpiece =D )
Characters : 9.5
Excitement : 7
Graphic : 7
Overall : 8

Tuning in to : Callin' by Sakai Mikio ( Code Geass Insert Song )

Review : Hayate no Gotoku

2009-08-01T23:00:00.004+08:00

Thanks for all the fun!

I finished 52 episodes of Hayate no Gotoku ( a.k.a. Hayate the Combat Butler ). It took me around 2 months lol. So here's some small review.

I decided to watch this anime when I can't find any better PC game after Kichiku Megane. The reason that urged me to watch was Animax. Yeah. Since Animax was promoting it like mad so I decided to have a try. Plus, I remembered whenever I on Animax I will definitely saw this anime. So, off for the download =D Surprisingly, the download was amazingly fast. I think it just took me around 3 days to download all 52 episodes =3 Yup. But I didn't watch it straightaway. Not that I don't want to, but I just don't have the time. College starting all... Anyway, I started watching after I really sense tension in me when I am coping with all the college work. Well, I always watch anime when I feel tension to relax hehe.

Move on move on. The overall of this anime. Hmmm... At first I don't really have too big of passion to watch it. But due to the word 'butler' ( p.s. : My last anime was Kuroshitsuji a.k.a the Black Butler before I started on Hayate ), I decided to give it a try. And surprisingly, it was so good I can't abandon nor drop it XD The best thing about this anime is, it uses lots and lots of cut-in a.k.a. special appearances from different other animes. However, to enjoy the anime to thye max, you must have watch lots of animes before that hehe. To name a few, Death Note, Code Geass, XXX Holic, Tsubasa Chronicles, Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core, Yakitate Japan etc etc. Theses special appearances came out in every single episode. Imagine that. I really salute the producer XD

I want to cut this short cause my brain is malfunctioning now haha. Eventually, it was really really good. Rated 10/10 for me. Masterpiece haha. A great anime to release stress ( that was how I gone through all the college tension =p ). And they provide special service as well. What service? Haha. Service like this :

Nice one, Hayate XD I am so looking forward to the season 2 now. Not yet finished it's airing but once it's finish, I will download it straightaway =D

Spamming

Post credit to myanimelist.net

In the post Things You Wonder About

"I wonder if there is anyone "annoying/useless" as that certain character in real life" by Lolita Complex.

Shino says : Yes, I wonder about that too. Gosh, if there is really such person in the real life, he/she must be leading a really really tough life (>_<)

"I sometimes wonder how far Japanese school kids have to actually walk, ride their bikes/motor scooter to get to school and how many of them live in apartments by themselves to be nearer to where they're going to school." by Terence_T.

Shino says : Yeah! This is sooooo common in animes. It looks really far though. And most of the time they are accompanied by someone lol.

In the post Humorous Pictures :

Now Light is targeting Lelouch. AWESOME XD

Alright. Here ends the spamming =D

To Zack

2009-07-13T22:57:00.003+08:00

On Zack. I particularly love these sentences of him :

"Zack was unique because he was one of very few people capable of seeing only the best in people without being naïve." -- Fair Skies

"Cloud looked up to Zack because he was everything that he was not." -- Fair Skies

"Cloud was Strife. Zack was Fair." -- Fair Skies

( So much for polar opposites attract each other huh? XD )

Of My Room

2009-07-12T13:47:00.003+08:00

Hey guyz! =D I felt so bad about this blog... Compared to my personal blog, I hardly update this blog... ごめん！悪かった！However, if I wanna compare the posts, this blog got 10 TIMES more posts than the personal blog woohoo~ So it's a sqaure kay hehe. Okay so today I am going to post some pictures of my room. An AMG Freak room, to be accurate hoho~ Why? I saw a post in myanimelist.net where people post up pictures of their room so I think I migth as well do the same hehe~Just that I don't post it there but I post it in this blog of mine. Hmm... Actually I did posted up some pictures about my room in this blog years ago. So if you want to see you will have to search it hehe. Anyway, I just changed the setting of my room so you guyz might as well see the difference IF you managed to find the old post *evil laugh* Okay, so here comes the pictures!

First, let's begin with some overall view, shall we? (>_<)

This is what you will see once you step in. ( I tell you, my room and the other corner of my house is like two different world. The other corners of my house is so normal while my room looks so abnormal XD )

Angle from my study desk.

Angle from my bed.

This is my favorite angle hehe.

Okay let's go into detail now, shall we? =p

Starting from the first thing I see every morning when I wake up. And what I called the 'mirror section a.k.a. the self-design section' lol

Here it is! I guess you guyz must be ~~amused~~ aware of the 3 'ladder posters' hehe So let's have a closer look on them.

LOL! It's actually ( from left ) Zero, Yuuki and Kaname from Vampire Knight woohoo

Poster of Final Fantasy VII : Crisis Core. The 2 posters beside it are of Kuroshitsuji - Sebastian and Ciel XD

I guess you guyz might have been wondering what it this lol Yeah as you can see, it's a CASTLE. Yes, it's a CASTLE. With my name on the main door lol.

Okay okay, move on to the study desk. My favorite place in my room XD

This is the whole view of it.

Woohoo~! Zack my love + Cloud (>_<) Imagine facing them to study every day haha

Stacks of books + My treasure laptop ( Hi Zack! ) XD

Okay move on to the bed area.

Both Kenshin and Lavi above my head hehe. ( p/s : Lavi = 2nd Suzumura's character in my room )

This time is HI LAVI XD

Move on to my so-called game section

My all-time-favorite Tales of Destiny posters

Growlanser ( another PS2 game ) posters

Say Hi again to my 3rd Suzumura character -- Xion XD

Last but not least, Lelouch XD

I know my room is messy, no need to tell me that lol. Gotta run tata!

p/s : Thanks Chern Hou for getting me the kimono for Bon Odori =D

Transformers 2 Outing

2009-07-03T14:23:00.000+08:00

Finally I got time to update the blog XD I was kinda busy this whole week. But I assure you it was fruitful =p Finally done with all the individual assignments ( except English ) and now move forward for the group assignments! I was ~~having fun~~ enjoying the time I did my assignments because I actually found them really interesting. It was stuffs I never get to do when I was in primary or even secondary. Or maybe because I am interested it what I am doing so it makes me less tension to do the assignments =D

To make this less-crappy, I will move on to the outing yesterday =p After class yesterday, me, Afiqah, Ivan, Kok Han, Zhi Huey, Chui Yen and Christy went to Sunway Pyramid for our Transformers 2 movie-outing lol. We reached there early, took our reserved tickets and strolled around Pyramid. The only place I must set foot in when I go to Pyramid is always Comic Paradise lol. Normally there is where I get my mangas but more importantly, that is also the place where I get all my anime/manga/game's side-collection =D I wanted to get more collections of the postcards but it was out of stock. So I bought posters ( hmmm... Not exactly poster, it's something like a mini-sized poster actually ) of Final Fantasy VII. Ahh.. I'm getting obessed with FFVII once again since I 'stopped' the obessesion last year (>_<) Our next stop was the Maxis outlet, where Afiqah went to get her coffee *winks* She shared one of it with us since it was a buy one free one promotion (?) OKAY GUYZ I SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW I DRANK TOO MUCH XD Kok Han was drinking it and when he passed to me and when I finished drinking it, I realised I drank too much. Everyone was so amazed . Sorry lor ... I seriously don't know (>_<) Next, we finally went for the movie. Overall, I think it was a really nice one ( despite everyone I know is like promoting it non-stop lol ). I enjoyed it, at least. The graphic was nice. I won't say it was amazing since I had seen something more amazing that this (>_<) The transformers are great. But somehow it was a bit too complicated for me. Sometimes I can't even differentiate which is which =S Laugh lar laugh, I don't mind you to laugh at me XD

Mainly that was what happened yesterday. Okay, so that's all for now. Oh wait, who's going for DaiCon and Bon Odori? I hope you guyz can go =D It will be a lot of fun there XD Tata~!

Animangaki 2nd Day Report

2009-06-28T19:53:00.003+08:00

So here's the report for the 2nd day of Animangaki!!! Actually not really report lar , just to share my experience with you guyz =D As usual, pictures come first! XD

The usual SS before heading out (>_<)

THE WINNERS OF THE DOUJINSHI ART COMPETITION

I am so so SO impressed with their drawings! If only I can draw something as good as that, I would be so proud of myself! ( Thus, Shino decided to train herself everyday lol )

WARNING! THE BELOW PICTURES MAY SPOIL YOUR EYES! ( SHINO DURING HER SINGING COMPETITION XD )

Okay, enough of the eye-spoiling pictures (>_<)

One of my friends I just know, Jolynn. She sang Glamourous Sky. I think it was good =D

GROUP COSPLAY POSES

The first group of Final Fantasy VII. I think it was really great. Impressed O.o

The second group was the pair of Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji.

The last-but-not-least group was the Ranma 1/2 group.

THE GROUP COSPLAY SKETCHES

The Final Fantasy VII group. It was a blast. AWESOME =D

The sketch of the Ranma 1/2 group.

That's all for the pictures. As for the singing competition, I was not good enough to get into the top 3 *sighs* But it was a good try =D I tried something new but it was a failure. I guess that was where all my marks got deducted T.T Anyway, I won't give up here. I will still keep on trying and trying XD This is my first time to participate in a Japanese singing competition and I managed to get in the finals, which was the top 7. It was already good enough for me. I won't expect much as a newbie but I will take everything I had went through as a challenge and also a precious experience.

This event was really a meaningful + fun one for me. Met lots of new friends as well *hugs* That's all I think. You would expect to see me in more of the anime events next time XD Mata ne~! =P

Animangaki 1st Day Report

2009-06-27T19:24:00.002+08:00

I just came back from ANIMANGAKI ( Sunway University's Anime Club's event ). Fuuu... So tired.. I joined the singing competition and I GOT INTO THE FINAL !! Woohoo~!!! I joined the solo category, along with 15 other participants. SEVEN ( 7 ) participants got into the final and I am one of it *gulps* The final will be tomorrow, 11.00 a.m. at Sunway University MPH. I was really happy, seriously. I sang bearing with my determination to sing just like what I will be expecting myself to sing in the future. It was kinda scary as well. Imagining a whole hall of people looking at you singing *gulps again* Furthermore, the music's sound is louder from my position and I can barely hear my own voice. One thing I know is -- I guess I must had shouted a lot =S Cause my song is a really high-pitch one and I was so worried I might go out of tune but that didn't happen *phew* So, I will practice again today and be ready for tomorrow. FINAL HERE I COME woohoo~! XD

Overall, the first day of Animangaki was really nice. They got lots of activities and an omatsuri as well. Cosplay is already a common thing so I guess I won't have to mention much right? As usual, the pictures will do the talking XD

Timetable Relased! XD

2009-04-29T18:32:00.005+08:00

ショウクウ！驚いた！なんてこと。。。

( Screenshot from Kuroshitsuji Episode 11 )
Just glanced through the new timetable for my real course on INTI's website. And... Just like the expressions on the header of the post... First, I went O.O, then T.T, then =.= Urgh. The time is like.. really weird ? Or I'm just not used to college's timetables lol. Okay. Maybe I should feel lucky because I no need to wake up so early in the morning lol. So, according to the timetable, classes begin at 10.00 a.m. except for Monday, which will begin on 11.00 a.m. Oh well... Okay, I rather find something to do than waking up early in the morning and go into the class with a blur mind/brain =D Just have to kill the one hour/2 hours XD An one-hour-break on Monday and Thursday ; 2-hours-break on Tuesday and Wednesday. Most probably I will be going home on these 2 days during break time unless I got something to do =p Classes end at 4.00 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday ; the latest will be on Wednesday, which is at 6.00 P.M. =.= That's not normal late kay... *sighs* But since my dad said it's only one day in a week so I think I shouldn't complain anymore XD ; And the earliest will be on Friday, 1.00 p.m. Fuu.... Must get used to the time now lol. Woohoo~ I felt excited! College life starting man! Really starting! Awwww~ Must study hard. Yes, I must make sure myself not to repeat the same mistake I did during the secondary life. En! Must work hard XD

Oh well, random talk again =p I went for a hair-cut just now ( yeah, really random huh? ) and.. I am eating spagetti for dinner (>_<) Haha~ Just some random stuffs =p

Ani-Mania

2009-04-28T23:48:00.004+08:00

Screenshot from 07-Ghost Episode 3

Hello everyone! *gulps* Seriously starting to rot already. I felt my rotness becomes more and more serious today *gulps again* Why I say so? Because... During this whole day... I did nothing but SIT IN FRONT OF THE TV AND THE LAPTOP O.o Uhoh, I'm going to turn into an otaku soon if I don't do some work =S Hmmm... So what I did in front of the TV and the lappy today? I watched animes, watched dramas, played games, downloaded stuff etc etc. Actually the usual stuffs I did lol. Just today, the rate increased (>_<) Woke up at 11.30 a.m. Actually wanted to wake up earlier but... oh well =p Ate lunch. It's a good thing when you wake up late ( I guess it's the only good thing bout it lol ), you can skip breakfast Hoho~ Why I said it's a good thing to skip breakfast? Because you can save the money for the breakfast! LOL. So dumb. Please don't learn from me, kay? Take your breakfast! It's important and it's the source of your energy for the day =p Later on, closed myself in the room cause I cannot stay in the living room. My mom was having tuition *sighs* So what I did in my room was just went online, checked on the mails, replied mails ( as usual ) and continued watching Kuroshitsuji. Proceed to the anime column if you are interested. I will quote it up. If not, just ignore the column =p

Kuroshitsuji ( a.k.a. The Black Butler ). An anime I had wanted to watch ever since I read about the synopsis last year. I started on it till episode 8 where I have to stop and go for National Service. But now, I got the DVD and I can watch it at last! XD By far, the storyline is nice. Or should I say, interesting? An akuma ( devil ) butler, serving a 12-year-old master. And what bonded them together was a keiyaku , sorta like some kind of promise. Another spotlight is the perfect butler, Sebastian. He can do like EVERYTHING and ANYTHING and plus, he is very LOYAL to his master ( part of his was because of the keiyaku , though ) Not forgetting he got this good-looking face.... *bursts* What am I talking about? XD In conclusion, this series is really nice. Currently in episode 6. Can't wait to watch more XD

Actually I watched various animes today. WARNING : From here onwards it will be more on animes so you can stop reading this post if you like =p First of all, Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood. The newest episode 4! XD Hmmm.. Can't say I left a strong impression on this episode but Paku Romi is just as awesome as ever (>_<) Next is 07-Ghost. I got a new rabu pairing now (>_<) Mikage x Teito = LOVE!!!! Urgh. They are actually very very good friends but since my brain is not functioning normally now, I tend to think the other way XD But seriously, the words between them really make them a good pair =p This series got it's funny moments too. I laughed a lot during the scene when they had their meal. Eyeballs and trees ... Urgh... =S And the next one was Hanasakeru Seishounen. It's another anime with the reverse harem genres but this one is a bit different. The female main character is such a cold person =S And the whole series revolves around a game, where the main character will meet up with 3 boys, and from the 3 boys, she will have to find a partner to stay with her for the rest of her life. Not only that she need to like the boy, she has to make the boy likes her too. Kinda interesting for me lol.

So that's all for today. Oh before I leave, wanna say a huge big THANK YOU to Edmond for hearing my problems out. You really helped me out a lot. I'm feeling a lot better now. Thanks again!

Kichiku Megane R - Taichi x Katsuya ( Normal )

2009-04-26T20:55:00.004+08:00

So after the previous walkthrough and review of Midou Takanori x Saeki Katsuya ( Normal ), I decided to start the 2nd one same, with Katsuya-chan (>_<) This time will be this route -- X

Igarashi Taichi X Saeki Katsuya ( Normal )
五十嵐太一　Ｘ　佐伯克哉　（ノ一マル）
There is also 3 endings for this ruote -- The Best Ending and 2 Bad Endings. To be honest, this is by far the hardest ruote for me to get the Best Ending, despite the face that there is a only ONE Best Ending. I remembered trying like 7 to 8 times on this ruote before I finally turned and read at the official guideline =.= However, the Best Ending that I had trying so hard to get did not disappoint me. It was just so sweet. Although it was not as sweet as Midou x Katsuya's Best Ending, but it was just sweet (>_<) The story of this root in Kichiku Megane R continued from the Best Ending in the previous Kichiku Megane. In the last series, Katsuya resigned from his job in Kikuchi Marketing and went to US with Taichi, where they stopped in California while Taichi concentrates on his career in the music industry. At the same time, Katsuya becomes their manager. So let's start, kay?

Walkthrough :

[ Ending No.18 - 男子の本懐 ( The Real Man ) ] { Best Ending }
ー　眼鏡のない人生 ( Life Without the Glasses )
ー　五十嵐太一 ( Igarashi Taichi )
ー　そんなのは、どうでもいいか ( About that, anything will do )
ー　ごまかす ( Hide the truth )
ー　うん。。。 ( En.. )
ー　ダメだよ ( Cannot )
ー　やぱりきになる ( I care bout it )
ー　そうだ、携帯 ( Oh yeah, the handphone )
ー　かけない ( Don't wear )
ー　それは違う ( That's not right )

[ Ending No. 19 - 捕　獲 ( Captured ) ] { Bad Ending }
ー　眼鏡のない人生 ( Life Without the Glasses )
ー　五十嵐太一 ( Igarashi Taichi )
ー　そんなのは、どうでもいいか ( About that, anything will do )
ー　ごまかす ( Hide the truth )
ー　うん。。。 ( En.. )
ー　眼鏡かけてみる？ ( Should I try wearing the glasses? )
ー　眼鏡をゴミに出す ( Take out glasses from the trash bin )
ー　そうだ、眼鏡 ( Oh yeah, the glasses )
ー　かけない ( Don't wear )
ー　それは違う ( That's not right )

[ Ending No.20 - 泥濘の灯火 ( The Light in the Mud ) ] { Bad Ending }
ー　眼鏡のない人生 ( Life Without the Glasses )
ー　五十嵐太一 ( Igarashi Taichi )
ー　そんなのは、どうでもいいか ( About that, anything will do )
ー　ごまかす ( Hide the truth )
ー　うん。。。 ( En.. )
ー　眼鏡かけてみる？ ( Should I try wearing the glasses? )
ー　眼鏡をゴミに出す ( Take out glasses from the trash bin )
ー　そうだ、眼鏡 ( Oh yeah, the glasses )
ー　かける ( Wear it )

Same as the last review, I will only concentrate on the Best Ending. Chose Igarashi Taichi when the selections appeared. Mr.R will comes and gives Katsuya the glasses. And while Katsuya is arguing with Mr.R, Taichi will run and shouts excitedly towards Katsuya.

A new attire for Taichi here. I love this attire better than the old one. With guitar. All-black. So punkish~! (>_<)

It seems that MGN, the previous company Katsuya used to be in Japan had come out with a new product and they are now selecting which band to use to produce their CM songs. So, somehow, Taichi's band -- Grab Your Luggage, which is an active band in US got selected. Thus, Taichi's band along with Katsuya came back to Japan to discuss about the new CM song with MGN. Katsuya had a meeting with Midou, the person-in-charge of the new product, and Midou requested them to retake the song they submitted due to some minor flaws. Taichi was not upset by the news when Katsuya informed him. Instead, he joked on Katsuya, asking him whether is it that Midou got jealous because the song they submitted was previously a love song written by him to Katsuya. Katsuya chuckled on the 'joke' and told Taichi that it was impossible.

And later on, they went back to their temporary resident, which was provided by MGN. Katsuya requested to make some cocktail for Taichi and Taichi agreed with it. The glasses that was given to him by Mr.R still worried him but he does not plan to tell Taichi about it. Taichi hated the glasses a lot and had tried to destroy it before. About why Katsuya knows how to make cocktails, Katsuya had been working as a part-time bartender during his time in New York. Urgh. てことは... This root got lots of unexpected from Katsuya. Bartender, makes cocktail, becomes manager... =S やぱりKatsuya is talented, right? (>_<) He even created a new type of cocktail for Taichi oh gosh. That's why I think my decision to chose Katsuya as the future husband in the forum is right (>_<) There is a selection here. About cocktails... and About that, anything will do. If you chosed About cocktails, only you will get to know why Katsuya knows how to make cocktails.

Taichi [ Katsuya-san.... Don't you think you act strange? ]

Urgh. さすがTaichi. Look at his suspicious eyes looking at Katsuya. As sensitive and observant as ever. The little devil XD Katsuya was worrying about the glasses when Taichi realized there was something strange about Katsuya. He even asked him whether he's hiding anything from him. Chose Hide it from him in the selection. If you chose Tell the truth, Taichi will get mad and grab the glasses away from Katsuya. Taichi hates the glasses a lot.

「そんなの、太一の気のせいだよ」 ( Taichi is just thinking too much )
「ホント？」 ( Really? )
「な一んてね」 ( Na~nte ne )

And when Katsuya is not caareful enough, Taichi jumped on him and started to search all over him to find out what exactly is he hiding =S And... He got the glasses.

Taichi [ He ( the weird person ) told you something about you can help me more when you have this glasses with you, right? ]

Urgh. Look at the evil smile.... =S I TOLD you Taichi is super sensitive =S He was so jealous when he found out that Mr.R actually understand Katsuya as well as he do that he went berserk and Katsuya had to cool him down. Not only that, he also accused Mr.R to be a stalker. Next, Taichi was planning to throw the glasses away and, to avoid Taichi from worrying much about him, Katsuya agreed...

Sometimes not only Katsuya, even I myself also can't get what Taichi is thinking. It can look really serious in this second and telling you he's just joking in the next second. In conclusion, he is a really dangerous person.

But when you chose Tell the truth, this super funny scene will appear --

[ Seriously I can't hide anything from Taichi. ]
[ Really? You are really hiding something from me? ]
[ Erm... yeah... But promise me you won't be surprised after I tell you. ]
[ Don't tell me.... ]
And Taichi started to put his hand on Katsuya's tummy.
[ Next year on this day, I will become a daddy?! ]

These words caused Katsuya to lose all his energy, and made me laughed like there's no tomorrow... Oh gosh.... This two... (>_<) Then there will be the 1st ever H scene in this root. After they had finished with their 'stuff' , the telephone rang and when Taichi picked it up, it turned out to be a call from his father. Taichi's father warned him that his grandfather is going to get him home as Taichi was actually running away from his house, refusing to succeed the grandfather's gangster group in order to be with Katsuya. Taichi got mad after he heard what his father told him. He then asked Katsuya to run away with him. Katsuya refused, saying that the whole plan to work with MGN and to proceed further in the music industry will ruin if they escape now. Taichi was sorta down but agreed with Katsuya. He agreed to remain if Japan if only Katsuya will be more careful about himself.

Taichi [ Okay? If anything happens to Katsuya-san, I will definitely be serious in settling things with THEM ]

「（オレになにがあったら、太一が悲しむ。。。）」 ( If anything happens to me, Taichi will be sad... )

So the next day, Katsuya was preparing himself to go to work while Taichi was still asleep in the living room after working hard to correct the CM song. Katsuya woke him up, saying that he will catch a cold if he did not sleep properly. Taichi, grumbling, woke up and walked into the room to continue his sleep. At this time, Katsuya, making sure that Taichi is asleep, walked over to the rubbish bin and took out the glasses. He is still unsure of himself whether is he really willing to give up on it. At this point, you are given another selection, whether you Care about it or you can Take the Glasses out of the Rubbish Bin. Chose Care About It if you don't want really really BAD things to happen next =S

Katsuya walked out of the mansion. He was still unsure with himself while making sure no suspicious persons are around. However, even though he was careful enough, Katsuya was captured by... obviously the followers of Taichi's grandfather =S

Just feel like snapping this Katsuya. He looks SOOOO kakoiiii in this new attire. SO SMART!!! XD

Oh well, continue with the walkthrough XD Katsuya was hit from the back and lost his conciousness. When he woke up, he found himself in a traveling lorry. He was tied up and when he failed to release himself from the grip of the ropes.... here comes another selection : Oh yeah, the glasses! and Oh yeah, the cell phone! And my advise here, don't rely too much on the glasses, it won't bring you 'good luck' as it always do XD So, chose the cell phone instead! However, when Katsuya tried to call Honda, who messaged him about the promise to have a drink with him on that day, a tremendous thump hit him and the cell phone dropped out of his grip...

Katsuya was glancing around looking for the lost cell phone when he suddenly realised that Mr.R was standing right in front of him. How he get in there is a total mystery ( as usual ). Mr.R persuaded him to use the glasses and there goes another selection : To Wear It or Not to Wear It. Don't make Katsuya a useless person! Don't make him into a person who can only depend on the glasses when he's in trouble. Chose Not to Wear It. At this moment, memories buried deep within Katsuya seemed to revive and Katsuya is now starting to remember things he used to forget. It was a memory. A memory when he first met Mr.R, and it was definitely not in the park. He remembered that he met him during his primary graduation day. During the day when he was betrayed by his friend, Sawamura....

Katsuya [ The first time I met you, it's not 3 years ago, is it....? ]

When Katsuya was doubting on this matter, the trunk carrying him stopped suddenly and the door opened. He was dragged out and he found himself came face to face with Taichi's grandfather. Taichi's grandfather accused Katsuya to be the main reason why Taichi refused to succeed his 'business', he even hit Katsuya with his rod and blurted bad words on him. I'm not going to elaborate much on this part because I can't stand this ojisan hitting and cursing Katsuya all the time =.=

Ice-cold water was poured onto Katsuya and this made him lost his conciousness for a few times. It was a real torture. Not forgetting the scars and bruises he got from the kicking and hitting of the followers. When Katsuya was half awake, somehow, he saw his other self, that is, the Katsuya with the glasses in front of him. This scene is actually my favorite scene in this root. Maybe cause I'm fond of Katsuya x Katsuya =p Okay, from here, I will use Katsuya-chan as the Normal Katsuya and Katsuya-sama as the Katsuya with his glasses on XD At first, Katsuya-chan scolded Katsuya-sama for treating badly towards Taichi.

「お前。。。太一のこと、傷つけたじぁないか。オレは怒ってるんだぞ」
( You hurt Taichi, right? I was really angry )

「お前が死ぬのはどうでもいいかな、その身体を殺すことは許さない」
「お前も、オレだから？」
「いいか？こんなくだらない死に方、俺はゴメンだからな」
「フフ。。」
「なにがおかし？」
「別に。ただ、お前が死ぬのを嫌がるなんてと思って」
「。。。。」
「ごめん」

[ I don't care why you want to die, but if you kill that body I will never forgive you. ]
[ Because I am also you? ]
[ Listen here. I would not want such pathetic way of dying. ]
[ ( smiles) ]
[ What's so funny? ]
[ Nothing. I was just thinking that you are also a person who hates of dying. ]
[ ... ]
[ Sorry . ]

Then after that, Katsuya-sama scolded Katsuya-chan, saying that he purposedly allowed himself to get caught by Taichi's grandfather so that Taichi can come to rescue him. And when Taichi comes, he will come face-to-face with his grandfather, and this actually indirectly provided a chance for them to talk with each other about things that they were unable to discuss in the past. Katsuya-chan was shocked to what Katsuya-sama had told him and he realised that what he told him was actually the truth.

Katsuya-sama [ Is this the time to laugh, you dummy. ]

「オレは、お前のこと、やっぱりきらいじぁないよ」
「なんだと？」
「（なんだ。こんな顔もできるんだ）」

[ I think, I do not hate you at all. ]
[ What? ]
[ (Oh. He can have such face too) ]

「すごく、悩んだんだよ」
「オレの中に、お前がいるってことに」
「お互い様だ」
「そうだな。お互い様だ」
「だけど、さ。お前はオレだから」
「。。。。」
「お前は馬鹿だからな」
「馬鹿馬鹿言うなよ。馬鹿っていう奴が馬鹿なんだよ」
「。。。ガキか？」

[ I am very frustrated. ]
[ That you are inside me. ]
[ Same here. ]
[ Yeah, same here too. ]
[ But... You are still me. ]
[ .... ]
[ That's why you are a dummy. ]
[ Dummy dummy, stop that will you. The one who call others dummy is a dummy himself. ]
[ .... Are you a small kid? ]

「オレは、お前を否定したくない」
「お前を否定することは、オレ自身を否定することになってしまうから」
「お前は、自分がきらいじぁなかったのか？」
「うん。きらいだったけどね」
「きらいだった、か」
「オレは、お前を否定したくない」
「ううん。できることなら、お前と仲直りしたいんだ」
「仲直り？」

[ I won't deny your existence. ]
[ If I don't accept you, it will mean that I don't accept myself too. ]
[ Do you hate yourself? ]
[ Yeah. I hated myself. ]
[ Hated...? ]
[ I won't deny your existence. ]
[ No.. If can, I want to be good with you. ]
[ Be good with me? ]

Katsuya-chan [ But, just things about you, I can't really understand.... ]

「オレが自分ではどうしても許せない、ずるくて卑怯で、弱いオレを、お前に許して欲しいんだ」
「どうか、オレを認めて」

I will never forgive myself. Never forgive such small-hearted and weak self. Such weak person like me, I really hope.... that you can forgive me. Please, accept my existence.

I know I might not be a good translator (>_<) and there are some parts I did not translate cause, if I do so, the post will be too long XD Well, in conclusion, what Katsuya is trying to tell us is -- To love and accept others, you must first love and accept yourself . I got a really strong feeling like I was playing the root of Katsuya x Katsuya when the above scenes were played lol And so, Taichi arrived and rushed over to Katsuya. Next scene shows the beginning of the scoldings and arguing between Taichi and his grandfather. Taichi, saying that he will chose his own path and decide his own future. He also told his grandfather that he is not a toy of him. That's why... when Taichi's grandfather asked Taichi to chose his path, he chosed to go back with Katsuya. After listening to Taichi's decision, the grandfather just glanced at Katsuya and walked out of the door without saying a word. But at that moment, Taichi took out a CD and threw it to his grandfather, shouting at him and asking him to listen to it carefully...

Katsuya [ What should I do? This is the first time I see such Taichi.... ]
The scene during the breaking dawn talks mainly about the reminiscence between the both of them. When they first met each other, when Katsuya first watch Taichi's LIVE and so on. They went back to their mansion in Tokyo and.... 2nd part of the H scene (>_<) This H scene is really sexy (>_<) , involving ROPES *evil laugh* I guess using ropes is just Taichi's style, isn't it? And seriously, it was really really sexy XD Urgh... Not posting any picture about it here so if you want it, the usual, kay? =p

*skips skip* The scene changed to the bar, where Katsuya is fully-dressed as a bartender with Taichi. It seemed that both of them had invited Midou and Honda to try out on Katsuya's skill, which was as a bartender. Apart of that, Taichi also wanted to tell Midou something, which appears to be his real identity as the grandson of a head of the gangster group. He wanted to inform Midou so that there will be no problem in the future if MGN really decided to use their CM. To his astonishment, Midou told him that he already know bout it. He informed him that the company will not employ a person without first checking on his background.

Katsuya [ It's okay. Everything will be alright. ]

At this point, I think it's a relieve for Taichi. He always thought that he will be looked down because his family actually owns a gangster group. But with Midou and Honda both accepting him as who he is, he can at last walk on his path with pride. And apart from that, it seemed that Midou and Honda had finally realised the relationship between Katsuya and Taichi...

Honda [ Bo...Both of you, are in THAT type of relationship?! ]
Then there was some grumblings and some funny moments. By the time Honda and Midou decided to leave, Honda, still bearing the I-can't-believe-it face, dragged Taichi outside and warned (?) him to take good care of Katsuya lol. While they were outside, Mr.R came. Nothing much here. He just asked Katsuya to make him something to drink and left the bar, without paying =.= Taichi came in after Mr.R left ( such good timing, huh?). He was suspicious on the weird expression of Katsuya but after Katsuya persuaded and confirmed him that no one had came in, Taichi begins to forget about it.

================ End of BEST ENDING ==================
So what happens in both the other BAD Endings? I will tell you guyz now *grins* Bad Ending of The Light in the Mud is exactly the same as the Bad Ending of root Midou x Katsuya, just this time, Midou changed to Taichi XD As for the Bad Ending for Captured, Katsuya ended up **** by the followers and the grandfather of Taichi ( urgh, at this age =.= ) and when a furious Taichi arrived, he killed his grandfather, which directly turned his true self out. The evil self of Taichi. It's a really sad ending. And to be honest, this is the hardest root to get the Best Ending. In the previous series, you will be able to get the Best Ending when you just go on Taichi's way, but this way doesn't seem to work in this series =S So, hope you have fun with this root XD

Next root will be... Hmmmm... Honda x Katsuya ( Normal ) ? Tell me what root you want to see, I can always go along with you guyz =p

A Day with 'Anata' XD

2009-04-25T23:20:00.003+08:00

HELLO WORLD!!!
So the connection is getting better at last and I am here again with my usual daily updates XD Well, the main focus on today will be the outing/movie with my anata lol, as mentioned in the previous post. Well, don't misunderstand kay? My anata and my danna-sama is not the same person XD But me and my anata is still in the rabu-rabu mood as usual and I am just so glad with it =p Yeah yeah. This person will be revealed really soon *grins* So here comes.

I woke up at around 11.30 a.m. ( oh that was the usual late lol ) and the promised time with the anata is at 1.30 p.m. O.O It should be earlier but... oh well, due to my usual transport problem, I sorta changed the time to the afternoon =p And so, after making myself was in the best condition, jumped into my dad's car and off I go XD I arrived earlier and waited for around 30 minutes lol. Yeah lar , I was that patient XD Well, I don't mind waiting. In fact, I had already get used to wait for people =p And so anata arrived at 1.50 p.m. ( see how early was that! Urgh, I got a bad feeling I will kena murdered after I post this post =S ) And we went to the cinema straightaway. Muahahaha~ I think as we are ON A DATE right, so we should watch some romance movie. Therefore, I chosed to watch 赤い糸 ( Thread of Destiny ) LOL. I SUGGESTED it. So since the anata don't have much objections thus we successfully sat in the NO.1 cinema and started to watch this romance Japanese movie (>_<) So what's so good bout this movie? Hmmm... Go for it if you want some nice sad movie lol. I think the TV series will be sadder but the movie is nice too. In fact, I had watched the TV series so I sorta know what will happen next in the movie =p The characters are good-looking and cute =p And I heard lots of sobbings and people blowing their noses or wiping their tears in the cinema whereas me and the anata didn't even have one drop of tears off our eyes O.O It's not that we were cold-blooded or what but it seemed that we had watched enough sad movies/series to make us drop our tears LOL. Overall, this is a nice movie. A sad one. Yeah. And a meaningful one, too. If I would rate it, it'd be 3.5 out of 5 =p

So after the movie, we strolled around Pyramid as usual, the usual window-shopping, the usual laughing at lame stuffs XD and the usual gulping at bishounens (>_<) And who is this anata ? Okay....

FINALLY a picture with you lar , CHONG MEI YEE !!!! What lar... 11 years of friend and only one photo together for the whole life =.= Don't you put virus in my blog kay lol. Woohoo~ Finally got to bully her lar *throw flowers around* Seriously don't be mad kay ( I got a feeling I'm gonna kena bully/S by her the next time I see her =S ) It is actually kinda nice + relieved + miracle (?) that we are still in such nice relationship even though we are currently in different colleges. Haha~ She must be really mad now for me to address her as the anata (>_<) Well, I am that passionate kay? LOL

So... Surprised? Shocked? 驚いた？You dirty-minded people sure thought that I was talking about my boyfriend or darling or dear or whatsoever but the anata I was talking about is actually my BFF. Haha~ Yeah lar I admit I was trying to play around with you guyz XD Change topic. Watch at what I got for myself today! XD

Tales of Abyss DVD + Soundtrack and Kuroshitsuji DVD + Soundtrack
Muahahahaha *strikes off names from To-Buy List* Yes, it's out and I got it! XD I bought the DVD and got the soundtrack FREE. Woohoo~ Oh, thanks my dad for Tales of the Abyss. Currently down on financial support... Well... Recession mar... What to do? (>_<) And I changed the look of my laptop! XD Went to buy those cute + nice stickers to decorate my laptop. Life can't be too boring, right? =p And my lappy is cute + nice ( to me lor ) now XD

Don't splash blood on my Katsuyas first =.= Look at the side of the screen lar... See all the mood faces? (>_<)

This is the keypad =p

And this is how the whole thing looks like XD

( I got another bad feeling that I will be the only one in this world who is daring/willing to use this laptop =S ) Oh well, at least my laptop is more alive now, with all the mood faces showing emotions on the user ( a.k.a. ME XD )

Okay, that's all for today. Urgh I got so many unwatched animes and games in my waiting list. Never mind. One-week-holiday is next week and I will have my time filled up XD Alright then! Oyasuminasai, minna! =p

Perfect Designs in Alice in Clover

Current Mood :
Current Time : 9.20 p.m.
Last Played : Alice in Clover

I AM VERY PISSED OFF + ANGRY NOW. DON'T talk to me and DON'T look for me now. If not, I will let you taste HELL. Trust me, believe NO ONE but yourself if you want to live a perfect life. Because you mark what I say, others will think of their own FIRST before they will think bout it. I just went through this case A FEW MINUTES AGO when this CERTAIN person in just pissed me off so much I felt like slapping him/her HARD in the face. Grrrr. When I was in trouble and was sadly grumbling about it, THIS PERSON just sarcastically told me off and it was SO OBVIOUS that from his/her words, my trouble was like none of her business and to him/her, I was just making a fuss out of it. EXCUSE ME? I wonder what YOU will do if you are facing the same thing as me. Maybe you don't want to even CARE bout it, but please KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT and STOP annoying people by blurting our hurtful words. I was darn PISSED OFF. NEVER. Don't you EVER ask help from me anymore. You better mark my words. Grrr. So you think you can solve everything by yourself, huh? Then just do it! Your problem is NONE OF MY BUSINESS.

It just ruin my whole good mood. URGH! To make myself feel better, I will talk a little bit bout Alice in Clover. Omigosh Ace sounds SO MUCH like Katsuya-chan (>_<) Once I heard he speaks, my heart goes : Katsuya-chan kakoiiiiii~~~!!! (>_<) Seriously. Hirakawa Daisuke used the exactly same voice to dub Ace when he did Katsuya's. Awwww~ And one thing I like about this game is the designs of the places. It was so awesome! It gave the impression as if I am playing Tales of Destiny Remake O.O Well, the pictures will tell you everything =p

Awwww~ The chibi-versions are so cute! (>_<) Look at Ace XD

They are talking bad about the people (?) in the castle =p

Okay. The end. And some random stuff I want to share with you all.

There was actually some error with the site and I DID NOT have so many inbox messages lol

Alright~! Going out with my anata tomorrow~ woohoo~ That's all. Mata~! XD

Farewell Party of Group 2

2009-04-23T21:37:00.004+08:00

FAREWELL PARTY of Group 2
This post will be mainly on PICTURES! Woohoo~ Due to the editing of those nice pictures for such a long time ( took me for a whole 3 hours kay! XD ). So today is the last day of the EPI Program. The last day all of us share the same class. The last day all of us share the same lame jokes. The last day all of us listen to the same teachers. 4 weeks. 4 weeks of bond. It was really a precious bond between us. After today, we will be separated to different courses and also, different classes. Those who take Mass Communication will progress to their Mass Communication class, Business to Business, Networking to Networking and Accounting to Accounting. Although we will still be in the same college but the chance for us to meet each other will definitely go down. I felt so lucky to have you guyz as my classmates and I had indeed, enjoyed myself a lot during the 4 weeks. The classes were interesting and I had a lot of fun =p Okay. So just let the pictures do the talkings first kay?

We will see each other in Mass Communication classes hehe~ Mata ne~! XD

From Left : Josephine, Cecilia and Shino

The Boss and the Assistant ( they said )

Good luck in your Foundation in Engineering! XD

So sarcastic kay! I know I short lar! These Jian Hong and Yumin ah... *tsk tsk*

I guess it's 8 months already LOL

Itazura na Kiss LOL ( Mischievious Kiss )

That's all! Awwww~ So funny lar my classmates. Love them SO AWFULLY MUCH!!! *sending flying kisses here and there (>_<) * Remember you know, guyz! If I ever found out any of you forget bout me... *evil laughs* * Credits to Shu Ping for the last 3 pictures XD*

So after I went home, took a quick bath and went to buy some clothes. Managed to get some! Woohoo~ I even got myself a palm lip XD Fuu... So tired... I had been facing the computer for the whole day since I came back. Gotta get myself some entertainment now hehe~ Finally gotta sleep late tonight woohoo~ cause there's no need for me to wake up early tomorrow morning XD I am definitely gonna finish Itazura na Kiss today. There's so many more animes waiting for me! Haha~ Now I got my time occupied for the next whole holiday week =p

Disturbance

2009-04-22T13:34:00.005+08:00

Takuto from Messiah ( Awwww~ I love this pic すげぇぇぇかこい！ )

Hoho~ I am sneezing so badly now. Since I woke up this morning! Grrr... I guessed I got a cold last night *sobs* Hmph! We did a 'short movie' in Miss Kalai's class today XD I like her class. It's like attending the real Mass Communication class cause what we did was all in the syllabus of Mass Communication lol. Hmmm... Since I enjoyed it so much, I guess I will enjoy more in the real course right? きゃぁぁぁ～お楽しみですぅぅぅ～！！(>_<) Then we were supposed to have this EIP test again to see our how's our progress after attending this Bridging Program for 4 weeks at 11.00 a.m. HOWEVER we can't find a class for us to take the test. So, we 'wandered' around the floors and finally got to sit for the test at 11.20 a.m. in the lecturer hall. Fuuuu... I got the same questions as the last time I sat for the test but I did different titles as the last time. The next test. Some of us were lucky as they got the exactly same questions as the last time they did. But I was not included in the lucky ones LOL. So I did a completely new set of papers and finished it in just 20 minutes. Can't wait to go home... Urgh. Seriously.

Yes. I got a cold last night. I am very confirmed that I got it last night. Yes. VERY CONFIRMED. 馬鹿だから！大馬鹿！！いきなり出できて、いきなりばけ分からないことを言って、いきなり無茶なことして。。。いった、私の気持を思ってることをあるの？！Ish. It was more painful than the time when my 'best friend' came =.= I was too immature. To have given in on whatever people says. I am too soft. To have given in on what people explained to me. And thanks to that, I only got a frigging TWO HOURS sleep last night. And I remembered telling myself to sleep earlier.... いったい何だよそれ！！！超むかつく。あんただから、私の生活は無茶グ茶になった！ねあんた、責任取っ手よ、馬鹿！And cause of this TWO HOURS of insufficient sleep, I dozed off so much when I woke up in the morning that I tend to forget bout stuffs. And I hardly concentrate much for nearly 2 hours after I woke up. And because of that, I have to wear the jacket for the whole day although I was burning hot during the 1st class =.= 責任取ってよ！！！もう。。。

Okay. Stop the grumblings. Made me more angry only =.= I guess I got the 1st ending of Messiah already. And the 1st ending I got was.... Kou x Takuto. Woohoo~ Although I don't like Kou that much but I adore Takuto. Awww... He's the type between kakoii and kawaii . Awww~ And the voice. He voices like Suzumura Kenichi, one of my all-time favorite seiyuu. A lower and deeper type of voice of Suzumura Kenichi XD One thing I like about this game is their ATTIRE. Oh gosh it's so nice man! XD So...So.... luxurious (>_<) I will post up the screenshots if I got the time =p ( See the Takuto up there? So nice right! XD )

And yeah! I am progressing fast with Itazura na Kiss. Gonna finish it soon XD This series was so nice, so sweet, so good! I wonder what will happen if I got a boyfriend like Irie Kaoki? So cool, so inconsiderate and so PERFECT. I think I will enjoy the admiration from others but suffer from heartbreak. But I wanted to be like Kotoko. I think she is really lucky. It was an one-sided-love at first. And imagine it when the unrequited love actually works in the end *admires* This is the 1st ever anime I watched which shows the life of the couple after their marriage XD

*sighs* Tomorrow last day of EIP Program already. Kinda felt a bit sad now *sobs* Pray hard I can sleep well tonight. Gotta catch lots and LOTS of pictures tomorrow! XD

Fuuuu... Finally some time to update the blog. Actually not much to update on normal life. But since blogging had become a hobby of mine, oh well, I guess it should be fine for me to write something abnormal right? XD Hmmmm... So today's class. The remaining 2 groups did their drama presentation and it was really nice =p Went to the library during the half-an-hour break and surfed the net. Wanted to update blog but don't have enough time because I am used to spend at least an hour on my blog lol Furthermore, it was not convenient for me to upload pictures or get information on things I want to update (>_<) Our usual lecturer was not in in the next class, so the temporary lecturer for the class gave us a task. We were asked to promote on a certain item. Yee Wei, Chea, Shu Ping and I were in one group and the item we were asked to promote was... urgh, the name was too long I had forgetten ^.^ Imaginations were going wild, weren't we? I felt myself not suitable to work as a promoter or else I will too, make the boss go wild haha~ As in, wild in a bad way =S

I finally cleaned up my room! Can't stand the messiness anymore =S Yeah, a girl should act as one. I also hope to have a nice, comfortable and sweet room (>_<) It took me only half an hour to tidy up everything. So now I got sufficient place to put my laptop ( which is on the table lol ) Slept for 4 hours. Actually I planned to sleep till 4.00 p.m. only but it was already 7.10 p.m. when my dad woke me up for dinner =.= Urgh, can't help it wei . I only slept at around 2.00 a.m. the previous night =S Oh yeah, I just added a mouse for my laptop yesterday on the wishlist and my dad actually bought me one today! Woohoo~! It's not that I don't have a mouse but the previous two mouses I used was dead (T.T) Laptops actually have their mouse but since my laptop mouse is going to be faulty soon so I decided to use a normal mouse instead XD The mouse my dad bought was super geng + super cool LOL. It's a wireless mouse = mouse with no tail haha and it's crimson red in color ( my dad kept on correcting me and said it is supposed to metal red =.= ) And oh well, it's the same color as my MP3! XD Those two can become good friends lol. It's wireless and it's in crimson red. Darn cool XD

My Crimson Mouse, I named it lol. My new beauty (>_<)

And in the same time, I had 2 new games downloaded. Urgh. My laptop is going to break down soon if I don't burn those documents out as soon as possible =S Alice in Clover and Lamento. Both games took me around 2 and a half days. Total 3 GB used up urgh. Well, Alice in Clover. As you can read from the name, it's something like Alice in Wonderland. LOL Just instead of 'Wonderland', it's 'Clover'. This is an Otome game actually, means something like a love AVG. Many bishounens and MANY of my favorite seiyuus (>_<) My first target will be ACE, voiced by my recent favorite seiyuu -- Hirakawa Daisuke *screams* Lamento. I wanted to play this for soooo awful LONG already. I think it's a BL game. Yeah, should be. lol. But oh well, will definitely try it out. Hehe~ By the way, I had started to watch 07 Ghost. It's a new Autumn anime. Yeah I won't deny that I was attracted to the characters at first. Omigosh I tell you they are just super super duper duper .... KAKOIIIIII~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (>_<) I am in love with Castor. Oh gosh, his smile. The ultimate kind smile of a bishop (>_<) And the glasses he wears! ( Am I fond with glasses these days? XD ) Then when I started to watch, the plot impressed me again. O.O It was a really nice one. Try it! XD

Urgh... Something's wrong with Lamento... Words become Mar's words =S Why do I always have problems with Nitro Charal's games =.=

Tomorrow another test for EIP. Don't feel like sleeping now *sighs* and I used up an hour here lol. Jya mata~! XD

FMA : Brotherhood Ep 3 + ドラマを成功しました！XD

2009-04-20T18:16:00.006+08:00

Fullmetal Alchemist : Brotherhood Episode 3

Hmmm... Just finished with the newest episode. Now I can be very sure that they are actually making a REMAKE of the whole series. Why don't they named it as Fullmetal Alchemist R then? lol. With the 'R' with the meaning of 'Remake'. *slaps* Wake up from the Kichiku Megane dream please (>_<) Well, just a doubt haha. So this episode 3 is actually the episode 1 of the previous Fullmetal Alchemist series. But one thing. I think I will like the new remake more. Why? The remake follows like 98% of the manga and as FMA fans will know, the manga contains lots of humour scenes lol. Same goes to the remake. The humour scenes had indeed increased an awful LOT and it was really nice XD Yeah although people are complaining about the colour scheme and the resolution, but I don't see any difference in the designing of the main characters. Yeah maybe the colors become lighter ( or maybe cause I'm a noob haha ). But it still looks nice so no worries =p This episode is really cute. The chibi and Q-versions of the scenes are really cute~ And I must really say something here. Paku Romi's voice as Edward Elric is just so so SO super duper chun O.O I admires her a lot. How on earth did she produce such an AWESOME voice?! (>_<) You can watch it here, though. I had posted up the video as well so, enjoy =p

やっと終わりました！Fuuuu~~~ Finally everything is over. The drama went on quite okay *grins* I can't sleep the previous night. Don't know why. Nah it was nothing to do with nervous and all. Went for practice at 8.00 a.m. and I am so really very glad that nearly everyone came on time! ( SOMEONE some more shouted out to me and said :"See? I'm ON TIME" LOL You know who you are kay lol ) But we did not practice on every single scene. A lot of things were actually out of my expectation but as long as everything is not bad, just ignore ignore XD Some really tiny little flaws were like those common errors people use to do whenever they have some presentations. Like forget the script *coughs* and the changing of the setting between scenes took too much time. But I enjoyed the whole thing very much. When I looked back on what we did, I realized that I looked so super duper FUGLY and so super duper erm... I also don't know how to say but to be short, it was NOT a nice thing =S So now I can concentrate and watch my animes and play my games now woohoo~ Currently on Messiah. The White -Hearted King is such a bishi (>_<) but is so omigosh cold-hearted that made me froze whenever he starts talking. Takuto's voice is nice ( and so do the character ). En~ Nice nice~ XD

いよいよ明日だな！

How I feel now? 20% nervous + 30% worry ( scared forget to bring stuffs ) + 30% longing ( guess it will be fun XD ) + 20% lazy ~~to pack the items needed for tomorrow~~. Yeah. Nervous. Cause I scared if there will be NGs and 'cold scenes' tomorrow in case anyone forget their scripts ( guyz please, どうか, remember your script well! ) Actually I scared I myself will forget the script also (>_<). Worry. I am currently doing a checklist on what to bring tomorrow and really hope that I won't forget anything =S Or else it will look darn ugly =.= Longing. It will be fun. It definitely will if everyone wants to have fun and wants to do it well. Really guyz, I am depending on all of you! (>.<) Lazy. I don't know why but my lazy meter will tend to rise every night, even tonight, when I got something to prepare for tomorrow. Nevermind, I will get everything done in just 15 minutes. Yes. I can do that XD Urgh. Pray hard. 神様よ、菩薩様よ、どうか、僕達を守ってくれ！！！

Stop scaring myself kay? =.= I am acting so immature. It's just a small project man! A small one! ( The devil inside me : I know it's a small one, but the thing is, the whole thing is just SO not organised and so messy. We didn't even have a full practice and we don't know exactly how long our drama is. ) Urgh. Stop scaring, my kind devil. I might be a devil but I really hope my angel-self will pop out now and say : It will be okay. Have faith in everyone and it will be fine =p *sighs* Haha.... Yes. It will be fine. I trust you, あたしの天使ちゃん (>_<) Just a frigging 30 minutes lar. Not 3 hours also! What to scare?! ( Devil : The 30 minutes might turn into a nightmare that you won't even want to see for 3 seconds ) Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fine. Just be done with it and everything is over. Tomorrow is the last day I will have to deal with this, then after that, I will go celebrate woohoo~!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Erm.. Actually you can ignore what I wrote up there haha. I am acting very cartoonish XD It's so fun kay? The truth is, I am gonna enjoy myself tomorrow no matter what will turn out. I believe that what will be will be. So, have fun! XD

So for the whole day, I did not go out for any shoppings ( surprisingly! ) Just went out for lunch and dinner. Then went online. Woohoo~ The Messiah I thought something wrong had occured to the program suddenly recover itself. Thanks Vista! *kisses laptop* I was having fun writing all the walkthroughs and reviews of Kichiku Megane R , really. Get to refresh all those sweet scenes (>.<) ( urgh, I really think I should revise the script again *glances at script* ) Okay, I will play Messiah now. Should wake up early tomorrow to pack the needed items and also to revise the script once again. Fuuuu~~~
