Internet connection FTW~

Hi hi~

It has been 5 days since I’ve departed from home. Now, I have finally found an internet connection in a cyber cafe. I was going to watch several anime but I don’t feel comfortable watching in public for some reason and the connection isn’t that great as we;;. So, I’m going to watch them at home and hope that they do not get licensed by the time I’ve reached home. Here are some several episodes that I would like to remind myself of watching when I get home.

  • Koihime Musou ep 5

There’s also going to be a second season of Kodomo no Jikan around this summer. I can’t guarantee that I’ll blog all of them probably because it’s too late and no one would probably read them. I might post some screen shots.

A view from my room window. It's not the best view since it's a room for bachelor. When I went to the same hotel with my parents a few years back, the view was so much better since it's a room for a family and much more expensive.

Malaysia is great. For the past 5 days, I’ve been spending my time touring around Kuala Lumpur. Trust me, 5 days isn’t enough. The city is huge. I went to the famous KLCC, the museum etc. I bought some anime merchandise that I couldn’t get back home. I’ll write about it when I get home and the post is going to be hella long. Now, I’m at my grandparents’ house in a small town where most old people retire. The place is really quiet.

Bye~

Lesson #2-Situational Awareness

Shi just drank two cups of coffee from Starbucks. The cups were big. After that, Shi went home. As Shi entered the house, Shi had a funny feeling in the tummy. It turned out Shi needed to go. Shi ran to the toilet and realised that someone’s in there. Shi waited for a long time and hope that Shi won’t end up leaving piss on the carpet. Just as Shi’s bladder about to burst, the person went out from toilet. Shi was glad. Finally, after Shi was finished, Shi realised that there was no toilet paper. Shi was extremely disappointed and did not know what to do.

It was torture I tell you. It’s a good thing that it wasn’t a public toilet or else I’ll end up people getting themselves as far away from me. I got my sister to bring me some toilet paper. I was saved.

So, remember, SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. Even Sun Tzu said so in his “The Art Of War”. It’s very common in the military but it also works in the smallest things such as when you’re in the toilet. Your goal is to shat safely and cleanly(there’s no such word).

Lesson #1-Getting into arguments

TODAY IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY, NOW WATCH SOMEONE FUCK IT UP.

Everyone gets into an argument once in a while. It happens to everyone including those very very very nice people. There’s always a conflict and disagreement. I don’t mind that kind arguments. As long as people use appropriate language with clear subject, I’m ok with it. Those are called professional arguments and debates.

But have you ever experience when suddenly a random person who don’t even know you started to blurb out shit and both of you ended up in a meaningless argument. Seriously, it happens. Even, me. Now I’m going to focus on meaningless arguments.

YOU ARE NOT A BEAUTIFUL UNIQUE SNOWFLAKE, YOU ARE THE SAME DECAYING MATTER AS EVERYONE ELSE

Sometimes the opponent started to say something good about themselves. Oh and also the “have you look yourself in the mirror?” phrase doesn’t work anymore. Don’t use it. It’ll make the opponent feel a lot better about themselves.

  1. Always remember the part (sentence, words, actions etc) which triggered an upcoming argument. You can use that as an alibi who started first.
  2. Lets hope that there’s a witness on your side.
  3. If you’re in an online chatting, copy the whole conversation as an evidence to MS Word or any type of writing program.
  4. If people assume that you’ve edited the conversation, I guess screen shot is the next option.
  5. Is the person smart? How old is the person? Because age also affects everything.

    IF YOU CAN’T DAZZLE THE WORLD WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE, BAFFLE THE WORLD WITH YOUR BULLSHIT

    Let’s say your opponent is an uneducated person or a 9 nine year-old child. No matter how logic your statement is, you’ll never get a good answer . Instead, they’ll just shout out some shits irrelevant to the subject and also does not make sense. So it’s best to fight bullshit with bullshit.

  6. Never end the argument like this “SHUT UP”, “FINE”, “WHATEVER”. It’ll never end well, seriously and personally those words tick me off.
  7. Appear calm, seriously, when you show your emotions, things won’t go well.
  8. If you’re in a forum war, if the argument isn’t worth your time (e.g. if someone just said to you that your picture sucks), it’s best to get out of the thread.

Because:-

After a long meaningless argument, you started to run out of spit and you’re tired. You realised that WHAT’S HIS PROBLEM?

  1. they’re jealous of something
  2. they wanna be fukin high and mighty
  3. and the most common one is because they’re bored

These reasons have no solution. It is endless. So it’s best to step away from the argument and ignore the person.

PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON PEOPLE LIKE ME NEED MEDICATION

In the end, no one will admit their lost. When you make the other person angry, that doesn’t mean you have won. That’s the worst thing about meaningless and childish argument. It is also not wise to make an argument with your best friend over the silliest things because it affects your school life. Would you be comfortable when you ex-best friend stare at you when you get to class? There’s more than that and it’s a lot worse.

And so, my solution is to always think that the other person isn’t worth your time and they’re the same as me (a tiny speck of dust living in a huge universe) because most people has a hard time letting down their emotion and they take it seriously.

NOTE: These are based on my experience and you’ll learn nothing from it.

Reborn Cosplays

I’m currently addicted to the anime Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn. If you’re familiar with the show, you’ll notice that Reborn always wear some kind of weird outfits that fits the situation. I find him so cute and so I’ve wasted a few days of my summer vacation to screen shot them. Here are my top 3 favourites:-

Choco Reborn

I had a hard time choosing my favourites. They are all so cute. If you want to see the whole gallery, please visit my Reborn Gallery page. And also if I’ve missed anything, do tell me. Feel free to comment.

P.S I have a friend who has this Tsuna’s boxers fetish. She loves making screen shots of Tsuna’s boxers when he was shot by the Dying Will bullet. Of course I went, o.O.

On hiatus, [Summer vacation 2008]

Due to the extreme heat in this country, most of the people wanted to escape the heat and went out overseas for their summer vacation including me. I’ll be going to Malaysia for this summer holiday. I’m looking forward to it but I’m not looking forward for the journey. I HATE traveling. It’s going to be so boring in the airplane. The only thing I’m looking forward there is the food. I guess I’m going to spend the whole journey eating.

New Code Geass episode is coming out tomorrow. Nuuuuu~ why can’t they have internet everywhere. Many people recommended me the anime “Fate/Stay Night”. I guess I’ll watch it for fun.

I’ll be heading to the airport in several hours. It takes 30 minutes from my house to the airport. Blah~ another small journey not to be looking forward to. Since I’ll be very busy during those 6 weeks, I might update once or twice a week. Anime posts will be put up late. I’ll be on vacation for 6 weeks.

So see ya.

Koihime Musou ep. 1 [The Brotherhood of Kanu, Chouhi and the Sisters]

NOTE: Please click for full preview and tell me if there’s a broken link.

The Brotherhood of Kanu, Chouhi and the Sisters

A young woman with long black hair was been approached by a group of bandits. She introduced herself as Kanu, and declared that she will eliminate every bandits who bring harm to the residents.

After that, she ran into an old lady who told her that the flowers are for the dead spirits that were killed by the bandits after their land were taken away. Kanu gave respect to the dead before she continued her journey. As she had arrived to a village, she saw a group of children who called themselves as the Rin Rin bandits chasing away the chickens around the village. Kanu asked the owner of a restaurant about the children. She told Kanu that they love to mess around with animals. She’s also said that they drew a face of a village chief on the walls of his own residence a few days ago. Kanu assumed that her parents were away which is why Rin Rin could do whatever she wants. But, it turned out that her parents were deceased because of the bandits.

Meanwhile, Rin Rin and her friends were eating in her house. One of them sighed that the drawing on the chief’s walls were cleaned. Rin Rin cheered her up by telling them that nex time they’ll draw something bigger. All the children went home during the sunset. Rin Rin was quite upset but waved them goodbye. At night, Kanu had a dream when she was young and her village was in the middle of the war which caused her loss of her family.

The next morning, Kanu helped the owner of the restaurant to do some chores since she gave her a place to sleep. The chief and his assistant was in front of the gate and ordered the guards to arrest Rin Rin for what she had done. Kanu stepped out from the crowd and introduced herself. She’s trying to negotiate to leave Rin Rin to her care. Since she’s the legendary black-haired bandit hunter, they’ve agreed to it.

On her journey to Rin Rin’s place, she was attacked by Rin Rin’s friends. They set her a trap which she fell for it and to her it was a major disgraced. They kept making fun of her as being old, ugly and stupid. That made her so mad that the children ran away.

She’s finally arrived in front of Rin Rin’s place and Rin Rin was waiting for her. She did not allowed anyone to call her “Rin Rin” except her friends so she addressed herself as Chouhi. They had a battle which continued till night time. Kanu told her that she lost her family when she was young too and she thought that Rin Rin’s strength was a waste if she’s continues to act like a bandit. She invited her to be like her and change the world.For some reason, she started to cry and admitted that she was defeated.

Kanu took a relaxing bath and thought of what Rin Rin said after she was defeated. Rin Rin said that Kanu can do anything to her. Kanu asked her to apologize to the village and the village chief and stop all the mischievous acts. Rin Rin agreed. Rin Rin jumped into the bath tub and joined her. She stared at Kanu’s breasts and was in awe at how large the sizes are. She asked her how did they became so big. Kanu replied that if she has a big dream in her heart, her breast will grow big. Rin Rin gave Kanu her clothes. She thought that it’s too small but Kanu said it fits fine. Rin Rin told her that it’s been a long time since she slept with someone. It felt like as if she was with her mother. Kany was embarrassed since she’s not old enough to have a daughter like her. She decided to call her an older sister. At first, Kanu rejected her but she agreed because she felt sorry for her.

Rin Rin apologised to everyone in the village and both of them left for a journey to change the world. She was a bit upset that none of her group bid her farewell. But, they appeared on top of the mountain. They were all looking forward for her to come back and hope that she’ll become strong. She waved back at them with a smile.

Chocolate underground (ONA) ep. 4

NOTE: Click for full preview and tell me if there’s any broken links.

Huntly and Smudger sneaked out from their houses and met at the abandoned mine at night. They were trying to crack the code. Finally, Huntly managed to cracked the code by using his knowledge of history and geography.

As they entered the room, they’ve found out that the room were full of chocolates, cakes, brownies etc but nobody was there except a boy called Dave and an old man. Dave told the old man that it’s alright since they’re his classmates and they can be trusted. Everyone came out from their hiding place. The old man introduced himself as the owner of the shop. He told them that they’ve been observing the boys through surveillance cameras. The boys thought it was unexpected since they didn’t notice them. The base couldn’t be found on the police’s radar because of a moisture-proofing substance that blocks radar tracking signals was spread across the wall. He told them to keep the place as a secret.

A man who claimed to have invented the code approached and gave them each a bar of chocolate as rewards for breaking the code. The boys took a bite of the chocolates. This made them remember the good old days when chocolates weren’t banned and the faces were full of smiles. The boys were overjoyed.

While they were enjoying the chocolates, the owner looked at the surveillance screen and noticed the chocolate police.

Rumor: Fullmetal Alchemist and Darker than Black sequel

Bones Studio Addresses Allegedly Leaked Document

Thoughts:

I don’t think making a sequel of Fullmetal Alchemist is a good idea. If they’ve decided to follow the manga storyline, then no. They’ve changed too much in the anime and they’ve already made the movie. In the movie, Edward was already 18 years old. What else can they add? Will they make up a new plot-line?

Don’t get me wrong. I love Fullmetal Alchemist. It’s one of my top anime list after CODE GEASS. But, there’s no reason to continue the series. The story is over already. Well, we’ll see what’ll happen. I’m looking forward for the sequel but I’m also against it just a bit.

I don’t mind if they produce a sequel of Darker than Black. I would like to see a continuation of Hei’s life. Or possibly a strong relationship between Hei and Yin.

Chiko the heiress of the Phantom Thief [ep.11]

NOTE: Please click for full preview and tell me if there’s any broken link.

At the Summer Resort ( 避暑地にて)

Thoughts:

Ok, so it turned out that the white-haired demon is a “she”. It said so on the newspaper article and when the police shouted that she fell from the window. Chiko’s aunt is getting desperate of getting rid of her since her methods are getting sloppy. She also received her first kiss from Shunko. Well, it wasn’t for any romance purposes so thank God.

I don’t like this episode. I don’t care about Shunko’s past. She’s spoiled anyway. I want the Twenty Faces to appear and Ken too. Why Shunko and Tome are one of the main characters now? It’s suppose to be about Chiko and the Twenty Faces legacy.
