flowers for my friend....(who loves these)
|
|
Hey - they say that white rose signifies innonence, purity and youthfulness - and Mag, one out of three..umm...better than none right... 
It is also signifies spiritual love and anticipation of happiness hence that is why to display so much of this flower (I exaggerate) is appropriate, as two of my closest mates (they and a couple more friends are the closest thing that (un)fortunately I can call my own clique and it is unfortunate because I do not like cliques, so...typical, girl) anyways, as I said two of my closest friends are coming to London.
I can't wait to meet up with them as I have not seen them for the longest time and it is hard to keep up with the communication as all of us are bloody hell busy, it is outrageous how busy one can get. So we have kept a spiritual bonding (heh) and I can, still, safely say that these girls properly understand me the best even when they do not understand me and that happens quite often.
Well, they are some of the best people I have ever meet and hopefully when we look at each with new eyes, we are still recognise the quirky, outrageous, lazy, silly and nice girls that we probably have outgrown but still innate to our personality.
A inane point to state, I am so excited that they are coming that I dreamt of our high school English teacher, livng in London last night (heh), I must stop having late nights. Well, Mrs. Menon if you ever cross this page, how are you?
I have published some of my other white rose pictures in previous entries, please scroll down.
Arigato, Thank you~

Gomen nasai ~ freaked
|

Acute dissapointment. Acute dissapointment. The feeling of a complete let down. The crash after being high.
That's the story of my day....
It is so bad that I am actually going to go and finish my immediate work, my mountainous pile of work that I have done well in avoiding and procastinating (what can I say, I am a student). I am going to sit down and write the most freakingly brilliant essay, although I find the usage of essay as a method of assessing a student's ability is, in some sense, bullshit (it is a matter of principle) especially when the marks that I received would be given a minuscule weigthing in the whole grand scheme of getting a bloody degree. I am so pissed off today...hahaha...it is so ridiculous. I am so ridiculous.
If you find that I am talking nonsense, it is because I have been quite nonsensical for...forever some people might assert but I do have my relapses into the world of rationality (heh), it is just I live, breath, feel, torture other people, torture myself and be insane in my mind. In fact I just be...in my mind....heh
Gomen~

BECK - out July 12
|
|
|
hehehe...I have a few friends who have set up a blog, some recently, others have had for ages. It was because of my friends' blogs that I wanted to have a blog...although I found it weird that people would want to open up and publish their thoughts esp intimate thoughts online...it is like a virtual stalker (okay, that's extreme), umm...virtual peeping tom/jane incident waiting to happen. But still I am not much of a talker nor a literary illustrator - I have a hard time expressing myself with writing - the whole physical properties of writing just baffles me.
But I love pictures, taking pictures (ahh~) and I like to think that I express myself better with that medium of visual presentation than this medium.
However, I have to say that my friends are brilliant at expressing themselves, how i envy them~~
My closest mate's blog - http://mayteng.blogspot.com
another one (although this one has been inactive for a bit) http://www.geocities.com/cherryjunkie
Here are some of the recent ones (so don't expect too much yet, they are still building their skills)
http://nurul83.blogdrive.com and http://yukimura.blogdrive.com and finally http://viruschka.blog-city.com <--- this is one is not so active either.
A word of caution, not all the writing would be in English.
Addiction - do you know what addiction is?
Sorry totally sidetracked there...hehe....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
At university - just finished slogging through stats, thank God there was not a lot of data to analyse. I bloody hell hope that my analysis is right, if not i'm totally screwed, like 'I don't know what else to do' screwed. I can not afford to have that...ummm afford , am I being indulging in some sunk cost depression?
Anyways - I decided to put up, BECK's first cover up - my silver line - so faraway...

Valentine's Day....
Do you really need to just show your appreciation for your significant other(s) only on this day?
I'm sure there is a logic there.............somewhere.......
Show your appreciation more than once a year... because they are there, with you, for every single day of your relationship.
~Happy Valentine's Day~

Serious backlog of ::manga read:: and ::anime watched:: umm...I've read Naruto V28 (246 - 247)[Shonen Jump], Bleach V unknown (155 - 157) [Shonen Jump]. Bought Bleach V5 by Kubo Tite [Shonen Jump] , Girl Got Game V7 by Shizuro Seino [TokyoPop] and Fruit Basket V7 by Takaya Natsuki [TokyoPop] (See I do read/buy manga legally, I do not just leech of mirc).
All the mangas that I read are my favourite - they are fun, poignant, miserable and reflect life in a very unrealistic drawing (seriously no one have BIG STARRY EYES except in Japanese manga) kekeke...the good news that I found out was that one of the manga that I have been waiting to come out, would be out in July...yeah, baby! It is BECK by Harold Saikushi, it would be published by TokyoPop. Now on to really, really brief reviews~~
Naruto V28 (246 - 247): It is recapturing the developments of the older cast or characters of Naruto, showing the maturity and the new strengths of the Hidden Village of Konoha's young ninjas. I love the new storyline, although one chapter does not say much but you have grown with the characters. It is like watching your nieces and nephews that you have not seen for a long time, grow up and you just love them and just love getting to know them again....
Bleach VU (155 - 157) (mirc): Ichigo (the main character) managed to save Rukia (another main character). As the arrival of Ichigo & co. (and his growing Shinigami a.k.a. "Death God" a.k.a. Soul Reaper supporters)distrupted the 'peace' of the Soul Society. So that's the current storyline.
Bleach V5 (manga): This volume is the prelude to the storyline above. This volume is actually introducing the Ichigo & co. whom are going to distrupt the Soul Society. So, in the line is Kurosaki Ichigo - the temporary Shinigami (got his powers from Kuchiki Rukia who is a Shinigami), Ishida Uryu - Ichigo's rival (in this volume), a Quincy (kinda similar to Shinigami [who are spirits] but human), Inoue Orihime - Ishida's and Ichigo's classmate, a sweet and blur gal whose spiritual powers are just awaken and Yasutora Sado - Ichigo's best friend, half Japanese and half Latino (or Spanish, not really sure), his spiritual powers are also awaken. The whole book was about killing loads of Hollows (crazy/evil human spirit eating ghosts)...kekeke... buy it, read it.
Girl Got Game V7 (manga): Hahaha...this volume has to be the funniest volume so far to come from Shizuru Seino, everytime I read, I will definetely burst out laughing. It is a story about a girl called Aizawa Kyo who, by her father's 'brilliant' idea, was registered to high school so that she could play with one of the best high school basketball team. Unfortunately, they only have a men's team, yes, she was registered as a boy by the father. Lots of crazy plots. This volume was about Kyo's attempt to make her roommate Eniwa Chiharu, whom she likes, realise that she is, in a fact, a gal (he found out about that lil fact in previous volumes). Hilarious. However, the next volume has a promising plot....hehehe
Fruit Basket V7 (manga): Umm... I love the anime, that's why bought the manga. I also bought it because the manga is more elaborate than the anime. So this is one of those volumes where I find out more about the characters that I did not know previously from the anime.
::Anime watched:: Loads...umm...I'm not going to do any write up on it, as I have loads of work to do and I'm updating my fotopages when I'm suppose to complete my work - good one Farihna - hahaha.... anyways....
:: Yakitate Japan 11 - 12 Sunrise:: Naruto 120 - 121 Studio Pierrot :: Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad 17 - 19 MADHOUSE :: Kyou Kara Maou 31 - 32 Studio Deen :: Beet 9 Toei Animation :: Tactics 15 - 16 Studio Deen :: Bleach 17 - 18 Studio Pierrot and finally :: Mai Hime 16 Sunrise ::
My God...I did not realise how much anime I have watched...and I wonder how can I complete all my work on time...hmmm
::Song(s) heard:: Mario - Let Me Love You and LL Cool J - Hush
G'nite, g'morning & g'bye - back to work

I just realise that I do not like to make decisions, although it is not because I will be overcome with information, I am just lazy. For me to make a choice, I would like to consider all options that is available to me and all the information that goes with it.
But I am an extremely lazy person - it is too time consuming for me to make a proper judgement...hahaha...that does not mean that when I actually take the time to analyse my options that I would make the best (or correct) one But at least, I am happy that I was able to exhaust all the sources and (hopefully) be making a well judged decision.
Oh well...I have a month or so (not that long) to make up mind.

source of...

It is interesting to see what makes people visibly uncomfortable or at least visibly out of character (that's how I think people behave when they are uncomfortable anyway). Do they really believe that the source of their miscomfort (if it is a person) would not realise? Although the reason for the miscomfort could be because the person(s) is a member of a certain group while that person can be considered to be from an 'opposing' group per se. That could be counted as discrimination, well... at the extreme I would call it discrimination but I find it amusing (not about the prejudicial behaviour, as that behaviour can be intepret as) but rather how a confident person and may I even add, a verbally confident and witty person to be so put out or should I say unsure of how proceed in a social environment with their source of discomfort.
As I can not exactly ask the person why s/he behave in that way, I can not say what is the reason for the person's withdrawal of personality , is it because s/he feels that their beliefs (and their source of discomfort's beliefs) are incompatible and conclude that "let's not even go there" attitude is appropriate. Or is it because, that person is not as confident nor as verbally witty as that person wants people to believe? Or it could be because that person perceive that the other person(s) have a different belief systems or different attitudes and felt that they have no common ground to step upon (it's similar to the first suggestions but with this being "more" considerate)
I don't know - but I find it fascinating. How do I act with someone that is a source of discomfort to me (not that you like or dislike the person, rather you just feel really, really uncomfortable when that person(s) is around)? I have not noticed actually, I tend to like or dislike or feel undifferentiated to a person, I tend not to hang out with uncomfortable people. Although, I think I might be very suspicious of that person, probably pick on their faults - I sound really mean.
How do you react to people who are a source of discomfort/irritation to you?

Manga read: Naruto Vol 28(245) by Masashi Kishimoto, published by Shonen Jump - The start of an older 'mature' Naruto seems promising although I can truly say that I am more excited to see what Sakura can do in the next chapter than Naruto. For me, his abilities have be proven, so his skills and powers can and will improve whilst Sakura was pretty much down played through the anime and manga, so I am wondering what the creator of Naruto has in store for her. Go Sakura!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anime watched: Yakitate Japan 10 produced by Sunrise - Another good episode, I found this one really sweet, heart warming (corny as well but sweet nevertheless)would be as close as I get at describing my thoughts...hahaha...well someone might agree with me if they watched the episode. The main character (Kazuma Azuma) baked his old grand-uncle favourite bread. It was so great, that that old man died in his sleep (corny, yes) - you have to watch it to understand it or you have to watch it with me to understand it....hahaha...
Azuma was preparing for his company's (Pantasia) newcomers battle, it would promise the winner a chance to work at the main office, 1 million yen and something else, I forgot. His friend (and rival) Kawaichi (working in the same Pantasia branch as Azuma) was in training for this battle as he felt that Azuma is a better baker (or artisan, as they call them in the anime) than he is. So, the tension that was building between Kawaichi and Azuma, has burst and both decided that they are rivals and would be men about it and went on their own ways to prepare for the big battle. The episode ended with Azuma coming late to the competition, as he overslept at his grand uncle's house and left the old man without realising that the man has past away (Azuma thought he was still asleep, as he tried to wake up his grand uncle).
Yakitate Japan is about Kazuma Azuma wanting to create a japanese bread, named Ja-pan, by his mentor. It would seem weird but the storyline is great and it works. I guess it is because of the characters that are involve in the story and the way it is developed have been good so far. The anime has a tendency to be over dramatic but I guess you can attribute it to the characters' passion toward bread and breadmaking...It's good fun.
Anime watched: Beck 13 - 16 produced by MADHOUSE - Umm...I did not see Beck 11 & 12 because the regular channel that I d/l this anime from, has not yet released it yet. I d/led these four episodes from another channel (complicated issue surrounding this, I'm not going to get into it, just accept that these episodes are 'basically' from the same ppl who did the first 12 episodes of Beck).
Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, is based on a manga BECK by Harold Sakuishi, which I have yet the pleasure of reading but I will...when it will actually get published in English! It is a story about a 14 y/o kid, bored with his life, bored with his existence - to find solace in a electic, loyal and supportive set of friends, in music (rock specifically), in guitar playing and in his band's (BECK)goal of making it big.
It is a realistic look at the world of music when you are waaaay down in rank and shit pile. It is also a realistic look of being just a 14 year old boy (Tanaka Yukio @ Koyuki), in some really really 'interesting' circumstances and how one grows from being apathectic to learning to appreciate the things in life. I should say that eventhough that I might make it sound really 'rosy' like, the actual animation and storyline is much more harder, it has substance, it is not siliconed wrap. It is about life, the not good, the bad, the ugly, the sublime, the joy and the love.
Yes, I think it would be obvious by now that I love this anime. I do. I would have liked to give my reviews on the episodes but unfortunately I saw four episodes back to back and I'm sleepy now...keekeke...maybe another day.

~Umm~ Life is getting more complicated everyday, seriously I do not know why I did ever believe that even though life would involve hard work, it would be...simple, I guess. Ahak! It's all part of a process, what process I don't know. I can just imagine, someone say "of growing" but growing up, older, mature or being an adult,(whatever you call it) is pretty trite of an excuse and life revelations should not only be left to 'maturity' but maybe 'openmindedness' or 'mental dialogue'?
I am a firm believer of J.H. Holmes's | Quote: | | The universe is not hostile nor is it friendly, it is simply indifferent |
Basically, I believe that you shape your own world (and maybe disturb someone's else world a bit, as one do ), you make it worse or better (and maybe your parents and/or significant others in your life would, as they do  ).
So what I'm trying to say that thinking about Life and Life's meaning should not only be left to 'adults', it should be natural thinking process (rather than a mature one) done at any age, at any time, revelations should occur all the time, especially Life's revelations. One should be shocked out of their belief system, revel in the unknown. Dangerous isn't it? So is stagnation...
You might wonder how I leaped from Holmes's sophisticated philosophy to my own home grown philo? Personally I have no idea, that's just how I interpret his thinking and... just leap...what do you see?
I just saw (on tv) a man (a gay man, this lil fact would make so much sense at the end of this sentence) having crises after crises in trying to complete his project (house makeover) and when he was at the end of his rope, he illuminatingly said, "...if I was not standing in my comfiest, shaggiest coat, I'll be crying (sic)".
Now that is enjoying the little things in life.
