Mawaru Penguindrum

2011-08-30T04:07:00.000-07:00

This is a really nice and unique anime in my opinion. Its about a girl Himari who is really sick and has only a few more days left to live. One of thse last days she was in her "tip top" condition and requests her brothers (I think their parents are gone) to bring her to the aquarium. Then there her condition suddenly got worse and she ends up dying.

But strangely she is resurrected and the story of comic and tragedy begins! Its so random and funny I just like it. Though its pretty much a moe moe anime so probly not very many people will get hooked to it.
Just to give a taste of the randomness(This section is in every episode of the anime and has totally nothing to do with the main anime XD):

Survival strategy!!!

Imagine!!!!!

You low lifes who will never amount to anything.

Obtain the Penguindrum.

~The rest is different from episode to episode depending on what happened and what they are asked to do~

Lets start the survival strategy.

Mayo Chiki!!

2011-08-10T15:17:00.000-07:00

Whew, back after what felt like a year of not blogging XD.

This summer anime line up is really nice for me. Lots of lolis and some really nice mahou and toushi style animes(magic and fighters). My favourite so far are Mayo Chiki, A Dark Rabbit has Nine Lives and Sacred Seven.

But the one that meets my tastes the most, is Mayo Chiki ^_^. Crossdressing. Tsundere Loli. Weak male protagonist who aspires to be strong. A love triangle. And alot of cute girls!

Its about Jirou who is Gynophonic(Fear of opposite gender) whose reaction to contact with girls is a nosebleed. On a fateful day in the male toilet he accidentally stumbles upon Konoe Subaru who is a butler to the school's director's daughter. But Konoe isn't just your ordinary butler, he is actually a girl <3. Comedy follows suit and the story progresses along the themes; Must hide Konoe's secret, as well as a developing love between Konoe and Jirou.

Heart touching and a really good laugh, I hope I get to watch the next episode before I fly back home ^_^. Cheerio.

Queen's Blade

2011-04-30T02:00:00.000-07:00

This series is heavily eroge based I think. Its originally an eroge game of sorts which explains why... Not very interesting or impressive, but I was watching it cause I was bored.

This series has a total of 2 seasons, 1 OVA and 1 Blueray Bonus OVA:

Season 1 is called Queen's Blade ~Rurou no Senshi~(Queen's Blade ~Wandering Warrior~ or ~Exiled Virgin~ for the US box releases.)

Season 2 is called Queen's Blade ~Gyokuzoku o Tsugumono~ (Queen's Blade ~Successor to the Throne~)

The OVA is called Queen's Blade ~Utsukushiki Toushi-tachi~ (Queen's Blade ~Beautiful Fighters~)

The Bonus OVAs are actually just a "Spin off" of the main anime series they came from. 6 episodes come from the first season and another 6 came from the other season.

A synopsis is kinda boring... well, difficult... well... uninteresting... well, you get the idea:

Basically, this anime revolves around Reina Vance, the future Countess to the house of Vanse which is an exiled nobility on the continent in this anime's universe. This continent is controlled by a Queen, a warrior who has won the competition Queen's Blade which is held once every 4 years. Only the most beautiful and strong women may be permitted to enter this competition. Anyways, Reina started out only wanting to escape the life of Aristrocracy and was seen fleeing from the Vanse Mansion on the first episode where she met a thief named Listy.

From here on, Reina starts on a journey to become a warrior, and alongs the way decides to participate in Queen's Blade.

My favourite character is ofcourse the adorable loli maid, Airi:

who is a ghost and has regenerating clothes (nuuuuu) but also becomes stark naked when weakened(yay).

I'd love to compile a still alive list of d/l links... but it takes too much effort so meh, sorry :P

Cheerio!

Hidan no Aria

2011-04-22T02:45:00.001-07:00

Hidan no Aria(Aria of the Scarlet Ammo) really reminds me of Shakugan no Shana. I like the characters, but again like most of the anime lately, the settings are quite messy... but that's probly just from my viewpoint though cause I think my thinking pattern has changed slightly nowadays. That asides, it seems to be about a boy (Kinji) who is a Butei(soldier) who inherits the gene to enter Hysteria Mode, a mode that allows superhuman manoeuvres and stuff. He meets a loli, errr, girl named Aria who is an S-Rank Butei while trying to escape from Butei bombing, a frequent "terror" activity which targets Butei for reasons like revenge and stuff. This is because Butei is an organisation like the police but is more special in a sense that it is an elite squad composition. So far, the anime only had minimal action in episode 1 and none in episode 2. But something about it(most likely Aria <3) is keeping me hooked up to this series, so I am definitely following it ^_^.

Cheerio!

Steins;Gate

2011-04-19T22:44:00.001-07:00

This is quite an interesting anime. You know the world conspiracy theory where everybody in the world is subconsciously controlled by an "Organisation" and made to do what they do without even realizing it? This anime seems to have that theme + some time travelling. Its pretty complicated to explain, so watch it yourself ^^.

Favourite character so far is Makise Kurisu, the Tensai [line]Hentai[/line] Shoujo:

Yumekui Merry

2011-04-14T09:32:00.000-07:00

Okey, next is about the anime/manga Yumekui Merry.

Its a really nice anime, but the ending was brought too quickly. The manga has a better storyline and is still ongoing.

Its about a boy who can see colours on a person when he does a special pose and determine what dream they will be having. He then has a chance encounter with Merry Nightmare(the character who hooked me up to the series at first) and so the jouney of life begins :p (reference from Star Driver Kagayaki no Takuto) .

Favourite Characters are Chaser John Doe and Merry ^^, in the anime, I also like Mysteltein.

Also, the anime has a nice OP, although its the type that sticks to you after repeated hearings:

Cheerio!

Physics Lab

2011-03-06T14:20:00.000-08:00

Okay,

I made a HUGE mistake 2 weeks ago, and made us lose our data for a week for experiment 79 - Thermal thingie of poor conductors... and i missed last week cause my toilet was leaking and the plumber came in then ^^.

Now I gotta catch up on last weeks progress, and I might volunteer to solo the last week (week 5) since it was my fault the data is lost, to redo the experiment.

May I get the courage to say that.

Troubles

2011-03-06T14:16:00.000-08:00

I don't know why, but lately, I've been hating the people around me more and more. I dont' think its selfish of me too, they've been being quite annoying lately. And have started to ignore me. I feel like I've been used :( considering the amount of money a certain somebody has been borrowing, you'd think he'd atleast not treat you like trash. But no, as soon my role is over, I'm discarded and ignored.

You guys might think its just like that cause I'm seeing it from my point of view, and that nothing that serious is actually happening if you observe it from a third's person perspective, but a third person doesn't go throught the emotional stress of the person in question... so I don't think they deserve the right to critisize...

Argh, why the hell am I even typing this.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika

2011-03-06T14:07:00.000-08:00

It is a nice little anime, the story is nice, the drawing is quite good, at the very least unique.

I have a feeling it is going to be a 24/26 episode anime, despite how it seems to be nearing its end at episode 9 ^^.

Its basically about a normal girl who is approached by some cute little creature who can turn her into a Mahou Shoujo(Magical Girl), in return for having one of her wish granted. At first glance you would think this is not a bad trade off, but as the story progresses, the dark secrets of being a Maho Shoujo is unfold. The protagonist is Madoka and another girl, whom is my favourite character in the anime Homura, as well as a few other main characters who die early on... Tbh, if Mami didn't die so early, she'd be my favourite ^^. That asides, the protagonist seems to have a latent talent that will make her the strongest Maho Shoujo ever. Homura is a time esper; well, closest thing I can compare her to; and came from another time when Kyuube( the cute little creature)'s true intentions are found out and seemed to have destroyed the world ( no spoiler, this is in the opening of episode 1 ^^).

A rather slow, but at the same time upbeat anime ^^.

Anime anime!

2011-01-08T07:14:00.000-08:00

So many new animes, so little time to watch them all in.

I dunno if I'll manage to watch them all considering my time is so divided between study/Runes of Magic/ and anime/ sleep XD.

I'm definitely watching Princess Resurrection.

I'm watching Rio so might as well keep up to date with it.

I just downloaded Infinite Stratos so I'm gonna keep up to date with that too...

I hope I get to watch em all and still pass my deegree ^^.

Cheerio!

Runes of Magic - Macros

2010-12-28T06:39:00.000-08:00

Okay, I've recently been dragged into playing Runes of Magic (I'm now playing in Siochain server with main character SaberArthas) and have been experimenting with the macros.

Well, I now know how to use the typical macros such as

/s - which says your message

/g -which says your message in the guild channel

/p - says it in the party channel

/z - says it in the zone channel

/w - whispers to

and the simple

/cast

/use

but I can't seem to get macros to link up to each other which make the macro length limit 255... and if you want to continue into another macro, you'll have to manually activate the continuation part... which is kinda a pain.

Also, you can make a macro to swap equipment without having to open the equipment window and manually pressing the button which can be handy in mid battle or if you are dying and don't wan't to spend so much money repairing your armor:

/script SwapEquipmentItem()

I use this script alot when using knight cause that way I can equip a 2-H Sword and still use shield skills easily. Example:

Macro Name: Quick Shield of Atonement

/script SwapEquipmentItem()

/wait 1

/cast Shield of Atonement

/wait 1

/script SwapEquipmentItem()

As you might have noticed, I put in /wait 1. This is because there is a general cool down when using spells and such so making the queue wait for 1 second is always a good thing. Longer if you usually lag while playing. Oh, and beware when swapping equipment cause if your secondary equipment has a lower max hp than your primary, then you will only get back the max hp of the secondary when you swap back to Primary equipment... hmmm, its too hard to explain, well, you'll see what I mean.

Also, since you would want to save up on characters, /script seems to be able to be replaced by /run which saves 3 characters. Not sure what the difference is though but all my macros work so far replacing script with run ^^

Cheerio!

University of Bath

2010-10-30T07:36:00.000-07:00

Alhamdullillah, I finally have a place at the uni of Bath but still some problems remain administratively. That asides, all is good. I really like the uni... its quite relaxing and stuff although I don't like the amount of walking I need to do.
That asides, I now have a new life as a first year Maths Physics student. Yoroshiku.

Party Game - Vampire

2010-10-16T16:43:00.000-07:00

Want to know what? I really hate this game. It requires you to lie or lose which is not a very good morale of living. It's like recreating the inquisition age... and might actually slowly start making people relive it... What if some random psycopath like H_______ played this game and found it interesting? It wouldn't be the concentration camps that would have happened...

New house next year

2010-09-20T12:12:00.000-07:00

Assuming that I passed my re-sits and will be attending the Uni of Warwick again next year, my house will be at:
169 Fletchamstead Highway
Coventry
West Midlands
United Kingdom
CV4 7BA

I do hope that I pass cause I've already invested a sum of money for the house >.>

New school year motivation:
-The usual lose weight
-To actually punctually attend lectures throughout the year.
-Ace this year.

On another note, looks like Denyuuden will be a 24 episode or more anime after all ^^. I do hope Ryner learns more magic to make the anime more cool.

Now some pictures of our adorable yet sadistic angel:(just one puny picture actually)

How to fix :Microsoft Vista connects to wireless network then says unidentified network

2010-08-27T20:09:00.000-07:00

Have you ever got the problem with Vista when a few days ago you managed to connect to a wireless network(or Wi-Fi) properly but recently if you try to connect again it says to you "Connected to Unidentified Network(wireless name)" ?
I got this problem a few days ago and tried a google search for a solution... but nothing came up. Then I did the following steps out of frustration, and everything worked out perfectly and I'm back to wireless internet again:
STEP 1: Well, I think since you are gonna restart the computer, close and save all work.
STEP 2: Open the Network Connections (I usually open this page by first accessing Network and Sharing Center, then clicking of the link Manage Network Connections).
STEP 3: Rights click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "Properties".
STEP 4: Click on the button "Configure".
STEP 5: Click on the tab "Driver" and click on "Uninstall".
STEP 6: This is an important step. MAKE SURE THE CHECKBOX "Delete to driver software for this device" IS UNCHECKED!
STEP 7: Press on "OKay" and follow any further instructions. When prompt to restart the computer, just do so and when your computer starts back up, voila, you should now have working wireless internet again.

Cheerio!

Spider Riders

2010-08-26T03:38:00.000-07:00

This is quite a nice anime, a little cheezy if you don't have the patience, but nice. Its also one of the very, very few anime that I've watched that includes transformation scenes for girls that aren't... arousing.
Cheerio!

Cooking

2010-08-07T06:41:00.000-07:00

Well, while I'm back home chilling, I decided to get around to collecting some recipes to try out when I get back to the UK. I'm too lazy to cook here since the condition of the kitchen in my house if far from perfect.

Recipe: Nasi Lemak

Ingredients:

Coconut Milk Steamed Rice

2 cups of rice
3 screwpine leaves (tie them into a knot as shown above)
Salt to taste
1 small can of coconut milk (5.6 oz size)
Some water

Tamarind Juice

1 cup of water
Tamarind pulp (size of a small ping pong ball)

Sambal Ikan Bilis (Dried anchovies sambal)

1/2 red onion
1 cup ikan bilis (dried anchovies)
1 clove garlic

Just like making steamed rice, rinse your rice and drain. Add the coconut milk, a pinch of salt, and some water. Add the pandan leaves into the rice and cook your rice.
Rinse the dried anchovies and drain the water. Fry the anchovies until they turn light brown and put aside.
Pound the prawn paste together with shallots, garlic, and deseeded dried chilies with a mortar and pestle. You can also grind them with a food processor.
Slice the red onion into rings.
Soak the tamarind pulp in water for 15 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind constantly to extract the flavor into the water. Drain the pulp and save the tamarind juice.
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the spice paste until fragrant.

Add in the ikan bilis and stir well.
Add tamarind juice, salt, and sugar.
Simmer on low heat until the gravy thickens. Set aside.
Clean the small fish, cut them into half and season with salt. Deep fry.
Cut the cucumber into slices and then quartered into four small pieces.
Dish up the steamed coconut milk rice and pour some sambal ikan bilis on top of the rice.
Serve with fried fish, cucumber slices, and hard-boiled eggs.

A revolution

2010-08-03T03:54:00.001-07:00

Okay, I've pretty much improved my standard of living back home by tons. For one, I've finally persuaded my parents to give permission to get internet connection to my house. Then now I'm setting up the computer lab for my siblings. But I'm kinda worried now cause I'm not doing as much revision as I hoped I will... I hope I pass this re-sit.

Anime Summer Lineup 2010

2010-07-09T01:29:00.000-07:00

Well this is basically so that it'll be easier for me to find it ^^:
(Also while making this, I came to realize that there is actually quite a bit of animes being released this summer... but I suppose its the same for all summers. Just that this summer is the first time I've actually cared looking at what's realeased.)

Well, the must watch are... I can't decide T.T
Definitely watching Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu... but the others also look quite nice... there goes revision. Kya!

Resits

2010-07-08T05:58:00.000-07:00

It has been confirmed... now I need to revise for 4 resits... somehow I feel myself getting stupid by the second...

Either ways:
-Differential Equations
-Analysis(Most likely II not really sure)
-Linear Algebra
and finally - Geometry and Motion(which happens to be my worse enemy...)

are the modules that I need to revise for...
I hope I get to cram everything for exam ready before september. Wish me luck... although I need effort more to be honest.

Current Situation

2010-07-05T01:34:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm currently trying to get myself to reduce entertainment intake and increase studying. Its working okay for the entertainment bit but is a long long way to get me into pace to revising for the exams for the fullest achievement I can get... which is kinda frustrating really.
Currently I'm staying at a friend's house, and am hijacking his internet... Still waiting for RBA to get my ticket times changed. Hopefully I'll be bsck home real soon ^^.

Now for the anime bits:
This season seems to have a really good arrangement of animes, and I can't help but notice that most of the new releases are horror genre ^^. I'm definitely gonna watch Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (Legend of Legendary Heroes seems to be its official title although it can also mean Legendary Heroes of Legend), and a few others which I can't remember the names of yet. Hopefully the horror titles have vampires in them ^^. For my love of vampires!

Well, thats all for now.
Cheerio!

Exam Results...

2010-07-01T22:35:00.001-07:00

Shit, results are out, and I failed everything!!!! I'm even advised to withdraw... Well, that's it for happy go lucky I suppose. Time to actually study and make worth the money spent to the University.
Have to resit 4 modules this summer, so yeah, I'll be MIA for a LONG LONG time.
Cheerio!

P.s. I am also mentally devestated... this is actually the first time I've failed... let alone failed this badly... well, I did fail once before only cause I was sick then ^^.

Angel Beats!

2010-06-19T20:50:00.000-07:00

Nope, I was wrong. Today wasn't the final episode. Knowing Key it would be a 13 episode anime + extra episodes and an OVA but I can't be sure ^^. Either way its a nice fast paced anime, which is quite rare coming from Key... unless its actually a 26 episode anime.

Back from inactivity

2010-06-18T17:13:00.000-07:00

Okay, I'm back ^^. Had exams and stuff happening which deprived me from leisure time, but all is now over. Today I'm gonna introduce a new series that has made it into my favourite list:
Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou.
Its basically about a guy who is destined to be a Demon Lord (Maou) and his daily life in the magic academy. Its full of comedy, some actions and fanservice. Its a nice short 12 episode (seems complete as of today) anime and is really recommended for unwinding and stuff.

Okay, there is another series I'd like to introduce:
Angel Beats!
Its about a "school" in the afterlife where souls of people who died without living a satisfactory life go to. Basically, the world has "NPCs" who are soulless characters and normal human souls. There exists an "Angel" who supposively makes normal human souls disappear from that world. The normal souls band up to form a battlefront to combat against the angel to prevent themselves from getting erased. This story is around a character (can't remember name T.T) who just got to this world, and his activities while here. Next episode comes out tomorrow. I think its the final one.

Senjou no Valkyria

2010-04-01T10:27:00.000-07:00

This anime is quite nice and doesn't follow the story line of the game entirely. I also really like the OP Asu e no Kizuna, its so nice ^^. I don't understand why the people at my Uni's animesoc don't give it positive responses at all... so picky.
Here's the OP I was talking about:

And finally

2010-03-31T10:46:00.000-07:00

Man, I've been having a really bad time with people lately... This is why I hate chinese people most of the time. They are just plain right down impolite and insensitive... But that is not all chinese people mind ya. I'm not being racist, its just my luck seems to turn sour whenever they are around. So sad really. And here I was thinking of trying to be the ultra positive guy.

DotA Skills

2010-03-31T10:44:00.000-07:00

I dunno if its either my skills have improved or my friends' skills have decreased. But those once beyond godlike players are now just strong players, but not imba. But they are still stronger than the guys at compsoc that is for sure.

Series this term

2010-03-31T10:42:00.000-07:00

Right, most series have finally ended. I don't really have a particular favourite, but I'd say that Katanagatari has kept me entertained. Same for Hanamaru Kindergarten and So Ra No Wo To and Baka Test and and Vampire Bund!!! But most of the endings are very unsatisfying... Then again, who am I to complain right? Cheerio!

Holiday coming soon.

2010-03-16T23:13:00.000-07:00

And with it a new resolve. This time I'm going to pat down all my newly acquired powers and master them!!!! ie. Maths, DotA and some other stuff.

I don't have plans but this time I have the willpower.

Sensou!! Kaishin!!!

Phantasy Star Portable

2010-03-12T21:38:00.000-08:00

Kay, lately I've been playing this game on the PSP instead of MHFU. Its an awesome game, with the lots and lots of video clip. This factor has made this game one of my new favourites. Also, customizing the characters can go into so much depth! I heard in the 2nd version, you get even customised panties... but I won't go into any more detail ^^. Now I have a fairy, a suigintou looking character and a neko ^^. I can also make a miko(shrine maiden), but I'm not really into Miko moe. Ah, also made a Miku, but watching Hatsune Miku fighting breaks my heart. Cheerio!

Katanagatari

2010-03-12T02:16:00.000-08:00

My first impressions of this anime was that it would be boring due to its non-standard drawing. But I was obviously wrong! Its a nice mix of comedy, light romance and a little bit of action. Its also got really funky names and a nice contemplating sense to the names. If you know how to read your Kanji, then you will notice something awesome about the names... they make sense! Rather, there is a sublime pun in them. For now, cheerio!

Incidentally, Katanagatari, as the story narrator states it, is a story of a month. So episodes come out once a month. As of today, we have a total of 3 episodes. And all 3 of them have been subbed by Mazui(I recomend this group cause 1]Their subs make sense and 2] Episode 1 is really difficult to find subbed in English. So far I've only seen Mazui do them. Also be sure to watch version 2 subs of episode 1 as the original one is not entirely correct.)

Sleeping Pattern has finally been restrored.

Well, not quite yet. I'm still a few hours later of a normal average human. But that should be fixed by this Sunday, i.e. Tomorrow desu ^^. Janne!

Monday: Sunny, I was sleeping the whole of today and missed supervision accidentally~~

Motivational Failure

2010-02-24T19:35:00.001-08:00

Recently, I've been extra lazy and fail to attend lectures and stuff... I also miss deadlines for assignments. Do not follow this okay? I will kill you guys if you do.

Dance in the Vampire Bund

2010-01-12T05:13:00.000-08:00

On a brighter note, this anime is so cool!! Nothing beats loli vampires who are epic cute besides loli vampires who are epic cute and likes to give fanservice!!! Call me a perverted lolicon, I don't care anymore. I like! ^^.

Exam

2010-01-12T05:12:00.001-08:00

I have a really bad feeling that I am about to fail this exam... I hope it just remains a bad feeling. Non the less, it will still be very difficult for me to get higher than 50% unfortunately... I should have followed my revision scheme... Owh, how I have failed!

I am back

2010-01-10T04:29:00.001-08:00

I am now in my room trying to work and failing big time. Exam is tomorrow and I don't even know the basics that I should have known... Help me...

Maybe some moe stuff?

Room Cleaning

Pictures of my room. Messy version.

2009-12-03T10:28:00.001-08:00

Hehe, sorry for the awkward angles. Haven't got my proper camera, so using a shitty Digicam instead. So bad. Yeah, this is my room, in a fairly messy state. Wanted to show toilet, but then again, it is too small to take picture of the whole toilet.

The Revival of the Math Blog... Is not actually a lie

2009-12-02T02:15:00.000-08:00

You guys may*doubting* have noticed that I haven't actually posted anything onto my Maths Blog. This is because :

a)I'm too lazy~

b)I'm too lazy to type in equations~

c)I'm still learning to use LaTeX. Thats right. LaTeX. It is a language which enables mathematicians to write mathematical symbols easily and can be rendered by the LaTeX engine to become very beautiful, undeniable scripts of formulas. It is very easy to learn, but since there are alot of symbols denotions to learn, I am taking my time.

d) I haven't gotten around reformatting the Math blogs CSS to match my taste. Should I do something like my IAM project and make the wall paper Kokoa-s?Shuzen Kokoa FTW! Yukari? Who's that?

Pictures done in art workshop.

2009-11-16T07:57:00.000-08:00

These two are drawn by Angela. Our society librarian. The first one is quite good. I helped out a bit too^^. The second one reminds me of Emiya Shirou from the Atraxia arc.

This one is drawn by our other Librarian, Anees. Aka. Dangerman. Cute ^^.

My Room.

2009-11-04T15:29:00.000-08:00

As per request, I will be uploading pictures of my room. Info about my room:

It is ensuite, and has a rent of 3570 a year. Apparently its for 30 weeks. Not the 39 that I thought. The room has got a radiator, a few cupboard and a comfortable study table. The room has a network socket, where you can connect your laptop, computer etc. to the net for free.

Revival of the Math Blog.

2009-11-02T16:14:00.000-08:00

Starting somewhere this week, I will be posting up some stuff on my maths blog to keep up to date with what I've been learning. Criticise my results as much as you like in the comments, or suggest new contents that should be added. Although I won't always be updating it. You guys who know me should know how lazy I am right?

Assignments and tests

2009-11-01T12:23:00.000-08:00

Chiwassu.

Uni life is actually quite carefree, which makes doing assignments and tests a pain in the ass. Its quite annoying really, like one week you have it and the other you don't. Me, being lax, will tend to forget stuff and blah blah. So I end up doing really bad or worse not attending at all. But uni life as a whole is cool.

Scrapped Princess

2009-10-17T09:45:00.000-07:00

Chiwassu!

This is an anime that revolves around Pacifica and her brother and sister. Pacifica is the scrapped princess, the supposed poison which will destroy the world. But the reality is that she is the key to unlocking humankind's freedom from some intelligent alien lifeform which made humans stay in a continent called dust bin. Also, humans are controlled by peacemakers, and the only exception is Pacifica.

Favourite characters are Pacifica and Zephiris. Sure I like Natalie, but I like Zephiris' ribbon more. Guess which one I like more?

Janne,

Tears to Tiara

2009-10-16T10:59:00.000-07:00

This is a good anime. A balance of mixture and swordsplay. Favourite character is, not obviously cause of the lolicon label you guys have been placing on me, Octavia. Apparently, she is named after somebody in the Julius Ceaser story or something i.e. Oktavius.

So yeah. Reasons why I like her? Do I need a reason to like something? Lolz. Here's a pic.The uber big picture is on purpose ^^.

To Aru Kagaku No Railgun

2009-10-15T11:47:00.000-07:00

This is the "sequel" of To Aru Majutsu no Index. More Misaka action! I just love how railgun operates ^^.

Yugioh GX!

2009-10-12T09:33:00.000-07:00

This series is so cool. I liked it. I wonder if I would have liked it more if I watched it in the japanese version from the very start? But it doesn't matter now.

Amongs the things that I liked about this series is the cheezy but sometimes true statements made. Also not to forget the cute duel monsters and characters in it.

So yeah. Just for today, I'll be using a new catch phrase. Well maybe for the rest of this month depending.

Gotcha!

Getting the most out of your life.

2009-10-11T08:58:00.000-07:00

Haha. Me telling people to make the most of their time? Even I myself am not utilizing my time properly. Take today for example, I got up at 6am and got ready for a planned expedition day. But then I felt a bit lazy and decided to watch a few episode of anime. Then guess what? Those "few" episodes robbed me of about 7 hours! Man my life sucks.

Chissu! Janne.

My new room.

2009-10-04T07:14:00.001-07:00

Chiwassu.

Its a sunday and I got my laptop to connect to the internet at my accommodation. I am now a warwick student living in jack martin, an en suite room.

My room:

Its a tad bigger than my previous room. Its on the second floor which makes me feel quite secure. Its en suite, a little colder than expected and has poor lighting. So next time I go shopping in london or the City center, I am so getting a table lamp. Its kinda in a mess right now with about a tenth of my stuff here. So I wont upload any pictures. Thats all.

Janne ^^.

Currently travelling^^

2009-09-10T11:00:00.000-07:00

Chiwassu!!
Right, I am currently at KLIA on the way to Thailand to meet my grandmother who is very sickly and might even be dead by the time we reach her place... Okay, that was a bit mean... But given the current situations, I think it is only being fair to be mean to her. So yeah, for some strange reason, I can't upload any pictures right now, so I will upload the pictures in later posts. So have a nice day(atleast better than mine). Doki!!

University Life

2009-09-06T21:04:00.000-07:00

Hell yeah! I'm now a uni student at Warwick University. My epic anime life begins now. First action is to lose about 10-20kg of weight in a time frame of 1 month. Why? I am currently trying to make myself into anime characters, like for this month it's from Zero no Tsukaima... ummm... Saito. Later when my hair gets longer, I'll try other characters^^. I just hope the study won't hinder this activity. So yeah. Chiwassu!!!!!!

At times like this, it's best to relax and take things at your own pace^^.

How to fix HP TX1000 no boot problem?

2009-07-28T10:04:00.000-07:00

Is your laptop screen turning white then dies? Restarting leads you to find that it wont boot?
Mine got these symptoms a few months ago. A battery change solved it. But it came back just recently. Heres a few tricks to help it get running again.

The temporary solution(like works for only once or twice):

Turn the laptop on using battery power. Put in a bag and wrap in a blanket. Leave it for about half an hour. Take it out and turn off by 'pressing' power switch for a few seconds or pulling out the battery. Then leave to cool.
This really worked for me and gave me the valuable opportunity of being able to backup my data and some programs I've downloaded. But it unfortunately does not last so long. I'd say she gets about 5 hours before going back into a coma ^^.

The semi-permanant fix:

Packing, packing, packing...

2009-07-01T05:49:00.000-07:00

Hmmm. Why did it become so dark all of the sudden? Huh?! Why am I in a box!

Haha. Chiwassu.
I am currently trying to pack my stuff, but I keep on losing focus and start taking breaks and end up stop packing.
Gambarre, gambarre, zettai makenei.
Thats right. At times like this, its best to relax and take things at your own pace.

Toushiyo, toushiyo. Pinchi dayo!

Need to finish packing by tomorrow! Nooooo!

Today's Guitar Lesson: Power Chords!

2009-06-30T06:41:00.000-07:00

Okay, I was wrong last time when I said that chords are not important. They are VERY important. Although you don't have to remember the name. Being able to play them is important. but an alternative to chords are the power chords i.e. easier versions of the chords.

Power Chords

What Are Power Chords?

Power chords can be fun and easy to play. You can hear them in all types of music, but most people associate them with hard rock styles of music.

Power chords are not really chords. Chords are 3 notes or more, whereas power chords only have 2 different notes. A more correct name would be "power intervals" because they only contain two different notes. Usually power chords are composed of the root, a perfect 5th interval, and the root note doubled at a higher pitch (called an octave). Basically they are just like playing perfect 5th intervals and doubling up a note or two.

Power chords are easy to play just about anywhere on the neck, but lend very little harmonic texture to a song. They do not have a major or minor third interval. A chord needs this interval in order to make it a major or minor chord.

If you're playing a song with a lot of distortion, strumming a full chord might create too much dissonance. Plus if you have a fast chord change, it's often easier to use power chords for the really fast part.

Shugo Shugo!

2009-06-29T08:27:00.000-07:00

Ran. The first of Himamori Amu's 3 shugo charas to hatch. Bright and energetic and always positive.

Amulet Heart. Amu's Charanari with Ran. So cute ^^.

Favourite Characters

2009-06-27T11:23:00.000-07:00

The last time I introduced Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S, I forgot to mention Mizeldorido( I don't know if this is spelt right, since her name is only mentioned once througout the whole series!). She is the Mid-class spirit who always wonders around the school. And also followed on the rescue mission to save Corti.
Update, her name is ミゼルドリット (Mizerudoridou i.e. Mizeldorido). So it was her name.
Why do I like her? She is just so fluffy and clueless^^. Adorable. If I can have a contract with a spirit, I'll definitely have a contract with her^^.

Black Diamond

2009-06-26T13:44:00.000-07:00

Wow. I knew that this song is epic, but I didn't know that there was an Indies version of it. I just love the Indies version. And Mizuki Nana's enchanting voice makes it more so.

Shugo Chara!

2009-06-24T13:47:00.000-07:00

Another anime has been added to my collection... Okay. Its not added. Its been there, but I did'nt have time(err, can't find time) to watch it. Its Shugo Chara! which lit. means Guardian Chara(short of character). Its cute. Although the uber cuteness is making me like Amu-chan. Try to think of someone to like, and lots of faces pops out. And to make it even uber fail, Nadeshiko, the character I like turned out to be a cross dressing boy! NO!!!!! Anyways, here's Hoshina Utau's song; Meikyuu Butterfly.
P.s. She is voiced by Mizuki Nana. Mizuki Nana FTW!. Okay, you might see my stereotypical liking of Pigtails and blonde hair. So what?

Anime Subbing group.

2009-06-22T09:31:00.000-07:00

Hehe. I joined one just recently. The reason? Even though it is a pain in the ass sometimes, I gain access to some anime before they are released for the fansub watching community ^^. I sometimes get raws of the anime first too ^^. And other sempai(otaku-sempais if you like) are really helpful in helping me time translate the script. Since I am still a beginner, I don't translate an entire episode by myself. It's fun, tiring, but worth it. Also, it helps me improve my typing speed even more. And I am actually starting to remember character names desu^^. Raito, deha mata, stureshimasu.

To Aru Majutsu No Index

2009-06-20T13:21:00.000-07:00

Chiwassu.
Yet another cool anime. The OP Psi Missing is sooooo cool.

Ofcourse, favourite characters are Misaka and Misaki. Also a few others, but can't remeber their names. Wait, vaguely remember one. ShirouKuro? Hehe. Janne.

Sekirei

2009-06-19T13:05:00.000-07:00

Today I will be introducing the anime Sekirei. I'm not sure if I already did this, but I am doing it anyways. Sekirei is about sekireis, which are angel like beings which are superior to human beings and such. The anime focuses around the protagonist( can't remember his name) and the sekirei #88 musubi-chan^^. Also how other sekireis join the protagonist and such. Favourite sekirei is Musubi(cause she is just cute), Kuu-chan(innocence is cute^^) and Sekirei #09 Tsukiumi(hehe. Tsundere.). Sorry Matsu-chan, not my type ^^.
Anyways, here's the OP. Surprising enough( or maybe not), the name is Sekirei^^:
Ah, I forgot, Sekirei means wagtail. A type of bird I think.
Name: Sekirei.
Anime: Sekirei.
Artist: Saori Hayami, Marina Inoue, Kana Hanazawa and Aya Endo( seiyus for Musubi, Tsukiumi, Kusano and Matsu respectively).
Type: OP.

Today's Guitar Lesson: Basic Chords desu^^.

2009-06-19T12:45:00.000-07:00

Okay. There are actually many chords that can be played with the guitar. So it's pointless to try to show each and every single one of them. So what I am going to do is show the most commonly used chords. Since I can't be bothered to draw the diagrams because my new laptop doesn't have a touch screen, I will be using the (xxxxxx) style of representing frets and string. P.s. left most is string number 6(thickest string). 0 means open string. x means don't pluck the string.

C major: x32010
A major: x02220
...
Okay, this is actually tiring. Let me just use a picture from the internet:

Alright. Its a bit hard to read, but then again, we usually use tabs right? Chords are just for practice.

These are more tabs from the same website:

Otakus.

2009-06-18T11:32:00.000-07:00

Chiwassu^^,
Otakus. They are scary people. They are everywhere. Even higher up in the hierachy of normal society otakus trive. So I think my anime knowledge is something advantagous to have after all.

Today's Guitar Lesson: Reading Tabs desu^^

2009-06-18T10:33:00.000-07:00

Understanding the Tab Staff

A tab staff for guitar has 6 horizontal lines, each one representing a string of the instrument. The bottom line of the staff represents your lowest "E" string, the second line from the bottom represents your "A" string, etc. Easy enough to read, right?

Notice that there are numbers located smack dab in the middle of the lines (aka strings). The numbers simply represent the fret the tab is telling you to play. For example, in the illustration above, the tab is telling you to play the third string (third line) seventh fret.

Note: When the number "0" is used in tablature, this indicates that the open string should be played.

Reading Chords in Guitar Tab

Reading chords within guitar tab is a relatively simple process. When a tab displays a series of numbers, stacked vertically, it is indicating to play all these notes at the same time. The above tablature indicates that you should hold down the notes in an E major chord (second fret on fifth string, second fret on fourth string, first fret on third string) and strum all six strings at once. Often, tablature will additionally include the chord name (in this case E major) above the tablature staff, to help guitarists recognize the chord more quickly.

Reading Arpeggiated Chords in Tab

The above tablature contains the exact same notes as the first E major chord presented on the previous page, but it will be played differently. In this situation, the notes in the chord will be played one at a time, rather than all together.

Other Symbols Used in Guitar Tab

It's most common to see the letter h representing a hammer on, located within the tablature between the original fret, and the hammered on fret (e.g. 7h9)

Similarly, the letter p is generally used to represent a pull off, also found in the same location within the tablature (e.g. 9p7)

Ocassionally, you'll see the ^ symbol used for either a hammer on or pull off (eg. 9^7).

String Bends in Guitar Tab

String bends are often notated several different ways in guitar tablature. Often, a b is used, followed by the fret at which the original note should be bent to. For example, 7b9 would indicate that you should bend the seventh fret until it sounds like the ninth fret. Sometimes, this target note is included in brackets, like this: 7b(9). Occasionally, the b is omitted altogether: 7(9).

An r is generally used to indicate a return of a bent note to it's unbent state. For example, 7b9r7 indicates a note on the seventh fret being bent up to the ninth fret, then returned to the seventh fret again.

Slides in Guitar Tab

Generally, a / symbol is used to notate an ascending slide, while a \ symbol is used to notate a descending slide. So, 7/9\7 indicates sliding from the seventh fret, up to the ninth fret, and back to the seventh fret. If no number precedes the slide symbol, this indicates sliding from an indiscriminate fret.

It is also not uncommon to see the letter s used to notate a slide. This is somewhat less concise, as when sliding from an indiscriminate point (e.g. s9), it is unclear whether to slide up to the note, or down to the note.

Miscellaneous Notation

The use of vibrato can be notated several different ways in tablature. Most often, the ~ symbol is used, often strung together to appear as ~~~. Sometimes, vibrato will be simply notated with a v.

A string mute is almost always notated with an x. Several x's in a row, on adjacent strings, is used to notate a rake.*hehe. I already know how to do a mute. Just cover the string lightly with your finger while plucking/strumming. It is easy to do, but difficult to execute properly when performing a proper song. But that might just be me being stupid^^*

Right hand tapping (for right handed guitarists) is generally notated in tab via a t, in conjunction with the pull off and hammer on techniques used when executing right handed tapping. Thus, 2h5t12p5p2 represents traditional tapping technique.

When notating the tab for harmonics, the <> symbols are usually used, surrounding the fret which the harmonic is played at.

My Comments:

I already know how to do mutes and string bending. Mutes learned when Azu-nyan taught Yui. Bending when Mio showed Yui how to make to "nyu" sound ^^.
Chords I know are just C chords and A chords... Need to learn more. Ow yeah, the two chords I learnt were the major chords. More to learn^^

Hehe.

2009-06-17T14:41:00.000-07:00

Okay. I just added a secret link to this page just a while ago. It is not visible, and not easy to find. This is so that minors don't accidentally click on the link and go the, umm, nice page which I linked it to. Basically, it's a nice page which isn't blocked by the school network ^^.

Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica

2009-06-17T11:33:00.001-07:00

Hehe. I typed that title in less time than it took me to blink. So this is an anime about spirits and humans. Their relationship is in the form of a commandia( shinkyoku lit. divine song). This anime was release about 4 years ago and is the sequel of the series Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S which started airing last 3 months or so...
Favourite character... Guess.

...

Ofcourse corti. I can even remember her full name. Corticarte Apa Lagresnse... Maybe mispelt. So yeah. Anyways, no pictures. Cause you guys will say " Ah. Definitely. Lolicon after all.". So yeah.
But absolute favourite is Iari-chan^^: *Ooops. Accidentally inserted a picture.^^*

M3

2009-06-16T12:44:00.000-07:00

Owh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oops. Maybe over exclaimed abit there. So I sat the M3 exam last week. It was so damn difficult. To make things worse, I studied to whole syllubus in an entire night. This is because I thought the exam was next week. Incase ya didn't know, I self-study the FP1, M3 and S1 modules. FP1 is tomorrow. I am currently studying the last chapter which is polar bears. So wish me luck.

Toradora!

2009-06-11T12:22:00.001-07:00

This is such a cute anime. Taiga is so cute^^. Her personality... I dunno why but I like it!
This song is also so epic. Silky heart by Yui Horie.

Anyways, here's her picture:

K-ON

2009-06-11T11:58:00.000-07:00

This anime is great! It inspired me to learn to play the guitar. So I got myself one. Not a vintage guitar like Yui's but good enough.
This song is also epic.

Favourite characters are:
Mio

Azusa (Azu-nyan!!!)

And Yui (because her laid back character reminds me of myself.)

Exams.

2009-06-06T15:55:00.000-07:00

Owh it's been forever since I last posted something. Well, lately I've been studying quite abit. No. Seriously. I opened my book and played my psp. Just the act of opening my book means studying right? Anyways, I revised properly for Chemistry Unit 1. I always manage to screw up this paper before and always found it hard. But after proper revision, the paper is actually very easy. So I think I should revise for my other exams too... Such a dreary and tiring thought that is...
Well yeah. Oyasumi^^.

How to fix HP TX 1000 wireless problem.

2009-05-02T15:06:00.000-07:00

I have come across 3 different solutions while working with my laptop. They all correspond to different symptoms.
Symptom 1:
You get disconnected from the wireless network you are connected to. When you check network properties, it says the network setting does not match or something like that then after abit no wireless network can be detected.
Cause:
I think it is caused by the computer getting too hot.
Solution:
Turn off the computer and let it cool down for 5 minutes or so. Then switch back on. If in a rush, a restart would also do the trick.
Prevention:
Use a cooling pad.
Symptom 2:
Can't find any wireless networks... Actually quite similar to the one above.
Cause:
I am not sure. But it has something to do with the network adapters.
Solution:
Run windows "diagnose and repair". You should then choose reset network adapter. You will need administrative permission to do so.
Prevention:
I haven't found one yet.
Symptom 3:
This is the one that I got just recently.
You can't connect to wireless network. Infact, your computer hasn't detected your wireless adapter.
Cause:
Also something to do with the network adapter.
Solution:
HP Staff Recomendation: Download the latest driver from the website and run it. Also update your BIOS. If this works for you, then great. But if not...
My Way: Run Device Manager. Then click View--> Show hidden devices. Then under "Network Adapters", uninstall everything except for the Bluetooth stuff and the nVidia stuff. Then restart the computer. The wireless should work now. If it doesn't, then use system restore to undo the changes that you had just made. Just in case.
Prevention:
Sorry. I don't get paid for this so I can't be bothered to find out the cause.

I hope this can help you guys with the same trouble as me. I don't know if this works for everybody, but surely got me in operation again. A word of advice; next time when buying a new laptop, don't choose HP TX1000. This wireless problem is a common problem.

Man. More and more animes are becoming my favourites. At this rate, I can't actually call them favourites now can I.

White Album

But my favourite characters are Mana and Ogata Rina. Guess what? Ogata Rina's voice actor is Mizuki Nana. And Yuki's is Aya Hirano.

Akikan. I dunno why, but I just like it.
Chrome Shelled Regios. I like Felli.

Star Ocean Second Evolution Character Acquiring Guide

2009-03-16T14:02:00.000-07:00

Claude and Rena are default characters.

Celine -you can get at Krosse City after obtaining the travelling permit.

Ashton- After the kidnapping incident at the forest of symbols, head for Harley and talk to the old man at the entrance. He will mention about a dragon in salva mines. Head to Salva and enter the mines and look for the sign saying beware of dragons. Following the path, you should see Ashton. Recruiting Ashton means that you cant recruit Opera and Ernest.

Precis(My Favourite^^)- When arriving at Linga for the first time, you will see a scene involving Precis chasing Robbie(her robot). Exit Linga and re-enter in private action. Speak to Precis by Bowman's pharmacy to recruit. Recruiting her means that you can't recruit Bowman.

Bowman- After completing the quest and the Sacred Grounds of Linga(herb gathering), head back to Bowman's house. If Precis is not in your party, then Bowman will offer to join.

Leon- After reaching the settlement on Ell kingdom(after drifted ashore by after being attacked by the vampire dude), talk to the chief. You will then get the option of either recruiting Leon or leaving him there.

Opera- You need a specific P.A. for this. To trigger the P.A. you need to defeat the monster at Langus Mountain. Then do a P.A. at Marze. Now head to Krosse and do a P.A. and head to the Castle. This a 3-eyed man will appear if the event at Kurik or Marze has occured. Now head to Hilton and enter the bar. After the scene is over, head to Krosse and ask permission to go to the Mountain Palace. At the Mountain Palace, you should find Opera and later on should be able to reqruit her.

Ernest- If you have Opera, then find her ship in the Sacred Forest. You should then be able to recruit Ernest.

Noel- You can recruit after getting your Psynard. He offers to join.

Chisato- After arriving on Energy Nede and meeting Mayor Mell for the first time, head to the town center. There should be a scene where Chisato runs away. Later at North City, you should meet Chisato as you head up the path. Then later at the Crimson Cave where you will get your Psynard, you should see Chisato again and this time she drops her card. Pick this up. After getting the Psynard, head back to Centropolis. Head to first see the Mayor, then go to the second floor where you can meet Chisato and finally recruit her.

Welch(My other favourite^^)- At Lacuer City, after the Armory Contest and before you complete Bowman's request, do a P.A. and head to the castle. You can recruit Welch here.

Dias- You can recruit him at the Lacuer Front Line Base after the conference has started. Head to the general store to talk to him and recruit. You can only recruit him if you are playing as Rena.

Pheles. I don't know why, but I really like her ^^.

Mai Otome

2009-03-06T17:14:00.000-08:00

It's soooooo cool^^. It has become another one of my favourite animes^^. I especially like Souten no Seigyoku(Sapphire of the Blue Sky). And I like Rena Sayers(L.S.) not because she is the strongest meister in history, but because her attacks are not only powerful, but also fast! I like speed and power. Not to mention she is cute and cool.
