Advent Children FTW!

Just done watching Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete. Note that it's a newer and better version of Advent Children...

Basically, it's just some more new scenes, more action and more story told...most importantly, the final battle between Sephiroth and Cloud has intensified. There's rarely any blood spilled except on Sephiroth's Masamune after he stabbed Cloud in the shoulder in the previous version.

But in the current version...ho ho, oh brother.

Impalement after impalement...cuts after cuts...each swing of the Masamune draws blood from Cloud's fair, delicate skin...blood oozing out of the wounds and splatters all around him as Cloud hits the ground.

Boy, am I enjoying this...

Sephy's definitely gotten more bad ass from the previous installment. He even took on his "winged-angel form" for more elegant moves. The fight's an epic win...

However, despite this being a newer version of the movie, the traditional rule of "Good will triumph over Evil" has not been abolished. Apparently, people still prefer happy ending eh? Not me, that's for sure...

It has always been like this...the villains are definitely stronger than the protagonists...but to portray that goody-goodies always wins, the villains are FORCED to lose because the protagonists will receive a sudden burst of strength out of something as minute as a piece of PowerPoint slide show of the protagonists' friends and family pictures at the end despite being mortally wounded or even dead...

Ah no matter...I'm glad Sephy's attained new heights with his new arsenal of swordsmanship...

Oh and I gotta give Reno and Rude credit too...they've gotten more screen time...I think...and needless to say, more comedy. Although it's a shame that they took away the scene when Reno climbed the building to help out Rufus, but the new scenes sure made up for the removed ones...

Unfortunately, no videos up here yet since there ain't no decent piece of video uploaded yet, but I'll keep an eye out for em...

W00t~~~

Yamazaki's Piano Recital

A batsu game (punishment "game") featuring Yamazaki Hosei.

This poor guy is supposed to play piano in the dead of the night at a school...abandoned or not...I dunno. Haunted or not, I'm not too sure either. However, a school's definitely one of the worst place you can ever visit at the deepest of nights.

So Yamazaki's gotta walk all the way from his 1st floor "suite", up till level 4 to where the music room is, which held nothing but a lone piano in the center of the room...

Of course, traps are installed along the way...

The problem is...he's gotta walk through the same corridors 4 separate times due to the fact that he had to play 4 different pieces of melodies at an hour interval. And not to mention different traps are utilized every single time...though 1 or 2 might still remain. So yeah...very unfortunate, but it's fun to watch...

Just in case there's some enigmatic surprises...I'll try my best to describe what are the traps laid down for poor ole' Yamazaki...

1st attempt:

1. There's this sign that says: "Meeting in process, please keep quiet." (A meeting in the middle of the night...what else could that mean...)

2. Random sounds just pops out of the wall...

3. The elevator shall move...


2nd attempt:

1. An old soul shall be on patrol...

2. Sound of glass shatter...

3. Lotion applied onto the door handle of the music room...

4. Piano keys had trouble producing sounds...


3rd attempt:

1. Cries of a woman coming from within the toilet...

2. A pair of twins in kimono will be stalking Yamazaki. (This part is the best in my opinion...it gave the most kick to anyone who ventured beyond the point in person...and see of you can notice that one of the lil girl jumped at Yamazaki's screams...)

3. Farting cushion...

4. Secret #1...


4th attempt:

1. Blood on piano keys...

2. Secret #2...

Well, those are based on what I know about Japanese characters. As for the 2 secrets, I merely noted them down as the video stated...so you shall be kept from the secret until you've watched it...and on a side note, this is the video which allowed me to discover Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence...

Ok without further ado, lemme present Yamazaki Hosei's Piano Recital...

The longest 1 hour...

It took me 1 freaking hour to render a 30 seconds video...just because I had an extra bubbly scene which lasts for about 3 seconds in the clip.

What the hell's gonna happen if it's a 3 minutes project...

I'm soothed once again...

I can't help it but admire this piece of music playing as my current blog song now.

It consisted of no vocals...at least for this version, but it's THE melody that even evil souls find peace within...magically delicious. It's a super-duper-old-ancient piece since it's like out during the 1980s. Not all that far off, but it's like 10 years before my birth...thus I shall categorize it under "OLD". But this vintage melody didn't give me that impression upon first listening, and I'd say that I'm lucky enough to have bumped into this music.

I mean it has even surpassed my previous lullaby, which I believed to be one of the best all time classic. The theme of this melody, in my opinion is like...so "crystal" and "glacier" . I can't really describe em, but those 2 words are how I felt when I listened to the music...

Another piece of music added to my cerebral archive of favorable audio files, I guess...tru-ly bea-u-ti-ful...

Song: Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence
Artist: Sakamoto Ryuichi

Risen yet again...

Finally...after such a long period of time, my foot has recovered. Well, almost actually, for it is still kinda stiff...

This lil sprain took me the longest amount of time I've ever needed to recover...compared to my long history of other issues of sprained ankles, busted elbows and over-twisted abdomen. But no matter no matter, I shall be in fighting shape soon enough.

Other than being not able to flex and land heavily on my foot, I think I'm pretty much ready to carry on with my 18 years odyssey, since there's gonna be one less issue to preoccupy me...

Once in a long while...

Nothing much...just thought that it's been a while since I last sprained my ankle and had it swelled like a pig's trotter...

But then again...this pain is not what a masochist would normally enjoy for it greatly...and I mean GREATLY hinders your movements...I've been walking around as if something's up my ass and though I can't see it, I strongly believe that I look awfully queer when I walk and strut and limp and hop...

No matter, try ta spot the difference!


Well...it's not that difficult to spot it, right? However, if you really can't see what the hell is wrong, the following image shall be your answer of the lifetime...

Happy Birthday, Addeh!

A belated happy 18th birthday to lil Addy-belle...

Hope that you've enjoyed the lil celebration and the anytime-anywhere-choir whose members just keep abruptly bursting out the birthday song in high to low pitch and of fairly high magnitude...

And sorry, I could have been more into it if my ankle had not been sprained on the way.

Anyways, really hope that you'd like the lil cushion a.k.a pillow a.k.a anything that comes into your mind. Oh, by the way, should you suddenly have the urge for gores...like Friday The 13th, I don't mind watching it again with ya and your peers, that is if you don't mind my presence that is...

Again, tanjobi omedeto gozaimasu!

And to Shan...don't worry too much. These ordeals will eventually boost man's physical resistance and immunities. So just look forward to his recovery, and enjoy having a stronger soul standing by ya.

Lastly, thank you to everybody for inviting me over, also thank you guys for your concern and help to ease my swell just hours ago...and Angeline's dad for footing the bill, though it's kinda pai seh for ya to pay for us when you're a "special" guest.

Well, that's how I see it, for he made a surprise appearance.

That's all for now, I guess. Everybody, cares and cheers!

Aww damn shiat...

Well...first of all, it's a fine day with fluffy white clouds in the vast blue piece of dunno-what called the sky...

A 18 years old shonen headed on to school...

With his black Nike bag...

Black Nike shoes...

Black Giordano shirt...

Some random 3/4 pants...

And a big, budget, "slightly more than A2" folder...

He went in to his drawing class, and all went pretty smoothly, for the lecturer's a nice guy, and the shonen didn't really screw many things up...at least he hopes so...

Next, he went to do Maya...

Soon, he was alone again...

He then dragged he's carcass all the way down to MacDonald...finished his food in solitude...and next, headed for the library. He stayed in the library from 1500+ to 1825...killing time by drawing another character...

Evening came, and he went for some kendo orientation, for he strongly believed that he found himself a place where he belongs...

Hell is he wrong...

The sparring part did excite him a LOT...and it shall be the most fun thing that will ever occur to him should he take part in it. But the rest of the orientation is what he didn't expect, though they are necessary.

No battojutsu...

No hirazuki...

No gatotsu......DUH?! It'll be impressive if one would be able to perform, let alone landing it on anybody. But the shonen would LOVE to learn how to utilize it, probably other sword techniques as well...

Unfortunately, those are beyond the kendo club's arsenal...

At the same time, the family of the shonen is having another old school uproar once again, making it almost impossible......make that LITERALLY impossible to raise the matter to his family...

So yeah...it kinda suck...

I guess it's for the better, so the shonen can go back and focus on his MMA obsessions...be it professional or freestyle...

He'd love em all...

Restaurant "He yo"

People pay for what they eat in restaurants...

But these bunch of Japanese are different...for they fart for what they eat. Sounds gross? Well...it's just a game, so it's not such a BIG deal after all...

For those not seeing any subtitles appearing, simply move your mouse cursor over to the button at the bottom-right hand corner, and check the button with "CC" on it...

That is if you're interested in watching the video...

Discretion: Occasional obscenity ahead. View it at your ow risk...







*Just a random note, the videos above were narrated by Tachiki Fumihiko-san, who's the seiyuu a.k.a voice actor for one of my favorite anime characters, Zaraki Kenpachi. =D

Fatal Frame "Fatality"

Just when I thought my body clock's readjusting back......

No matter...needless to say, I believe most of ya, if not all, should know under which genre of games Fatal Frame falls under.

Souls who have experienced playing the game, be it a veteran or just running around the map and escape whatever you encounter, regardless if it's a malice apparition or Casper's Japan counterpart...you should know how does it feel to play the game.

Tense...

Excited...

On guard...

Expected to see something but nothing's there...

Something pops up when you least expect it...

The game's perfect for all to play, I'm telling ya. I hate to admit it, but when I first played it, I kinda...

DAMN!

Courtesy of Jun who jioed me in while staying over at Daniel's house...it's more than 2 years...but I can still remember how I felt then...

It's not so bad to play it with your friends, but to play it alone in the dead of the night...you're in for a wild ride...

I suddenly had the urge to play the game despite knowing that I'll jump time and time again while playing. Unfortunately, I don't have the platform, nor the game...so I decided to satisfy myself by watching some videos to freak myself out...

Well....

I have no problems finding the videos...

But the problem is, the game cracks me up rather than scaring me. No, no...not that the game play is no longer good, it's the player who's responsible...

He seriously busted the supposedly tense and dark ambiance...but nobody's gonna blame him for it. In fact, everybody enjoyed it, including me...

It's better to see for yourself...

But I must warn you...heavy profanity ahead...and best watched in the middle of the night...all alone...in the darkness......



The next one's gonna be rather short, but sorta effective...



I liked the screams in here the best...it's as if he's turned loony...



See the reason why a horror game makes me laugh in the middle of the night now? But my thirst for some horror has yet to diminish...at least for now...

If you find me lame to laugh at those things...you have no laughing bone...

Ok, it's kinda screwing up your audio output. But damn, it sure hell is fun watching him play...you won't find players like him around often. I'd say it's a privilege to hear his hoarse screams and his comical way of playing the scariest game to date...

Done watching the videos, I wish thou souls to sleep tight...and I mean TIGHT...for you never know what might reach out it's malicious claws upon your neck...

...tonight...

No motivation lah...

Finally done drawing my 1st character in a long time...which took me weeks. And it's not all that nice...for pencil marks and slight tears are visible around it...

Com-pu-lit-to-ly no mood whatsoever...

If this keeps up, it's gonna spell my doom for the next semester...

An amazing woman indeed...

A woman, Susan Boyle attained fame almost instantly with her powerful voice...not only in Britain's Got Talent, but all around the world. On 1st look, a 40+ years old lady like her would expect people to think of a typical, simple housewife. But never would one ever expect that this typical housewife, whose dream was to be in the same league (or further) as Elaine Paige, received a standing ovation upon singing...and most importantly, stunned all in attendance, including the 3 judges...the very same bunch of souls whom I strongly believed that they're gonna see a joke of the century...

Well, I won't deny...I'm a lil skeptical about how good her singing is on first glance. Hey, I'm not a singing person, nor do I know the qualities to sing well, but I do know what is comfortable to your ears.

...and she sure busted me for that...

When Susan speaks of her dream and aspirations, camera cuts everywhere around the auditorium and showed faces saying, "What the f*ck?!". Now now, you know who you are...

But she certainly changed everybody's opinion 540 degrees. Who the hell would still jeer such a splendid voice. Well, I dunno about the guys who said she was lip-syncing, but I definitely...well, lemme quote what Amanda Holden said...

"That was the biggest wake-up call ever..."

Let's assume she's really lip-syncing, then you gotta give her credit for doing it so darn well, and hell...I would say it's flawless...so until then, I say that her singing is for REAL...

DAMN!

I mean even Simon Cowell couldn't lay a finger on that one. And you certainly see how destructive Susan's singing is when Amanda's eyes got all teary...maybe it's the quality of the video on Youtube...but until someone proves me otherwise, I'm gonna say Susan's voice moved Amanda Holden big time...

Simply unbelievable...a must watch for all even if you're not a fan of "Idol" and "Got Talent" shows like me...

If you're looking for the video here...lemme tell ya, I don't have it. Why? Because embedding has been disabled by request...and yes, all of em. But I'll be nice enough to provide you guys the link:

Oh I just "LOVE" this timetable...

Guess what?

The timetable for the next semester is finalized, and the very time slot that caught my attention is on Thursday...the day which I thought shall be an off-day since it's so damn empty from morning to afternoon.

BUT!

As I scroll down, I realized that my classes are punched in from 1800 to 2100.

Damn am I "lucky"...

I'm not saying that I should have any privileges that shall exclude me from any night classes...I don't mind staying in school until night falls or even midnight for that matter, but to have lessons at night kinda pose a problem for me...for I'm not someone who can focus well during night time...

And I hate to admit it...my body clock is slowly tuning back. Thus, I'm no longer the extreme nocturnal type anymore...for now that is...I mean I didn't really did it intentionally. Lately I just got tired at night, and before I know it...

DAMN!

Ah no matter...

Tomorrow shall be another fine day, for I shall be going back to school and meeting up with the clique. The lecture however, is not my main concern tomorrow, since...ya know...I just wanna meet my friends.

Sounds hypocritical...but hell true...

I mean...you never know...we're gonna be in different classes after all. Ya dig?

Finally back on track...

I'm SOOO~~~ darn glad that the Karakura-Riser filler has ended...now, back to topic and start kicking arrancars around, releasing zanpakuto, getting kicked in the arse, blow a knee up, bite some wind, blow Hueco Mundo into smithereens and finally throw the entire world into the bottomless chasm of desperation and hopelessness...

Fatal Beatings

Another skit performed by Rowan Atkinson...

17-0

No doubt...the streak is still intact, and Michaels is the 17th soul that shall be sleeping within the 17th grave in Undertaker's Wresltemania graveyard.

Taker's the man I always root for, but I, or should I say all wrestling fans, appreciate what both of these men did - giving one helluva show.

What's next? Come on...it's time for a long term world title reign...

Another item eyed on...

Seems impossible to get...but I like it regardless of it's rare status, and would gladly own it. However, despite there being many miracle workers in this world, I doubt I can find anybody who's THAT willing to even try working on that thing in this country...or all over the world for that matter...JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ME!

But hell. It's one of the finest cape I've ever seen. Not because Taker worn it before, but the chest plate and chains and stuff makes it so goth that I just like it as myself rather than liking it as a Taker fanatic...

Heart Of Sword "Mixes"

Got my hands on 3 different versions of remixes of Heart Of Sword. Similar for most parts...but definitely better than the original in the other parts.

I prefer the remix playing as my blog song now to the other 2 remixes...despite the fact that it kinda sounded as if the audio output is screwed...

Anyway...

Just got to know from Kiato-chan yesterday that I'll be in a different group from my clique. Well...like he said, 1 group apart, and the time table is pretty similar. But I doubt I can hang out with em as often like we used to be.

At least they won't have a spoilsport stuck with em most of the time...

Remember what I told ya yesterday, Kiato-chan...and don't try ta crawl your way outta your responsibility! I'll be watching...

A lecture which screws ya...

Another Beany video. Yes, I can't believe I'm on a Bean craze nowadays too. This is totally screwing up my image, ya know...and you bet that I don't like it one bit. But the videos are just so damn...*beep* *beep* *BEEEP*

I hate it when this happens...

Kwl kwl...everything is kwl. Just that I almost got over pissed just now, for I thought that the dental clinic's pulling an April fool joke on me...despite having reassurance from the lady herself that it's not a prank when I booked an appointment for today...

I don't mind people pulling pranks and stuff on me...so long it doesn't require me to wake up early and do stupid things at my grumpy period...

And of course, there's still a limit on what kind of joke it is...

So I waited for almost half an hour outside the clinic. Not a very long time, but since I've only just got out of bed...I'm still a lil short tempered and not having much patience for almost anything...

Waited and waited...getting frustrated by the minute...and getting hungrier at the same time. As a result, I'm getting more pissed.

Well luckily the dental clinic DID open after half an hour. That sure cleared my doubts of whether I'm screwed or not. Bo bian loh...that's why I'm always on the losing end, for I'm too trusting at times...but I didn't blow my top or anything...I'm still able to succumb my temper. =)

Not bad for a hot headed eh?
