Also, the Xbox 360 celebrated its 5th birthday two days ago... so happy b'day :D

Wow, can you believe it? This is a cake!

It has sold better than the Wii, and Play Station 3 for the past 5 months. That's rite bitches. I knew it was way better than both of them (cos they both suck); that's why I got it, and that's why I'm smart, and I'm just so cool like that.

Just joking, they're all awesome.

:)

In fact, I think that they should be brothers. I makes me cry when gamers use them against each other :'(

Awwww.... <3

My thoughts on life

This is Austin (aka Mr Bond or Huong Bau Fau Tau) and I'm next to talk about my views on life. I don't believe in religion, but I respect the morals taught and the premise of having someone who's always there for you. Nor do I believe that we are all inside the mind of a six year old girl inside a mental institute on the Planet Roboa in the Sttttal Nebula. I have a scientific mind, and believe in evolution and other life in the universe. Of course, I doubt any major breakthroughs will be made in my lifetime, but I still am fascinated by the universe and it's endless endlessness. Please don't judge me by my religious views.

When I die, I (hope) I'm buried underground or shoved into a vase, and I don't believe in multi-layered dreams or any of that gobbledygook. Death shouldn't be sugar-coated and if people actually accept it, maybe people will make the most of the (hopefully) 70 or so years we're given.

I don't get racism. I don't get war. Why can't everyone just be at peace? Imagine all the people... sharing all the world. Well at least you can imagine, because there are a lot of corrupt politicians out there. I'm straight, but I'm not homophobic. Many ancient civilisations involved homosexuality (You know that movie 300? The real King Leonidas committed pederasty. Google that term if you dare...) and some of the greatest writers and performers were gay, so why all the hate? People should be allowed to express their true feelings...

My life's ambition is not to make lots of money, as I am not materialistic like that. I wish to be a writer, but wishes are wishes, right? I LOVE video games, preferably Nintendo, and spend hours upon hours making my mark... on the couch. Music also makes me happy and learning an instrument is good for the soul.

I find I tend to be very self-centred and overtly dramatic, but I also am very self-conscious. I always try to be a good person and be kind to everyone, but it seems I'm not doing very well. I say lots of random shit and I rarely think before I speak. Relaxation is something I thrive on, as listening to jazz while I lie on the couch removes any stress polluting my mind.

Thanks for reading!

Theories on Life

Our Theories on Life

Hey there... it's Vick, and I haven't written a post up in quite a while. Anywayz...
In school (French), I realised that we frequently discuss our views on life. Ian thinks he is God. David thought he was God. Michael thinks he is better than everyone. Austin... not sure, Rohit has no life and I used to think that nobody but me existed (I'll explain later).

Vick... ME!!!
As I said, when I was in fifth grade, I used to think that nobody actually existed, and that everybody was a figment of my imagination. Everything was programmed by some almighty being (Ganesh) and that I was the only one who could voice my opinions.

I have long since gotten over this strange theory and now, I think that this is all a dream. When I die, I am actually waking up from this dream and am in another. Using this theory, I have managed to explain to myself how Deja Vu works. You see... sometimes, in this life, when we wake up, we usually forget the dreams we have at night. However, a small part of it lingers on in our mind. (E.G. I forgot my dream last night but the small bits I remembered could be pieced together to say.... I am going off topic).

As I was saying... those small bits that we remember are actually from the past dream or life in this instance, and those small bits that we remember makes us feel like we have actually done that before...

And you know what else I remember from my past life?
... The comment question of the day which is: What are your theories of life?

(I know this has been a confusing blog... it makes no sense and I have only done this to relieve boredom. Please do not bag me in the comments...)

Kami Nomi zo Shiro Sekai (The World God Only Knows) Review

This is a review I did for this website (Yes, this is the one I go to for anime info) and thought I'd post it here since people on the website don't know me.

Katsuragi Keima, a high school boy known to everyone as 'otamegane' (Otaku which means a die-hard anime fan, in his case a die-hard gal-ge fan, and Megane which means glasses) lives in the 2D world of gal-ge. One day, he suddenly receives an email on his PFP (parody of PSP) stating that he must choose whether or not to accept a challenge. Thinking that this was just another gamer giving him a gal-ge to play, he instantly accepts the challenge. To his surprise, a demon appeared before him and told him to make girls from the real world fall in love with him. (Sorry, couldn't resist writing a synopsis)

Story (8/10)

The story was very unique and interesting. Unlike regular romances, the protagonist started having no interest in girls from the 3D world. Along his line of flags, he occasionally blushes upon more intense events showing that he has taken a slight interest to a few of the girls. However, in the later chapters, he seems to take less interest in the girls, which I find less entertaining. Also, for a harem, this one probably makes the most sense. By that, I don't mean bumping into demons would be normal. The protagonist of this Manga actually goes through many different events with every girl he has captured, unlike a lot of other Mangas in which the protagonist just sits there and have girls surrounding him for no apparent reason.

Art (9/10)

The art in this Manga is very well done. While it often alternates between simple and detailed art structures, it was used at appropriate times. For the more comedic and humorous scenes, the more simple form of art was used, and for the romantic or serious scenes, the detailed form of art was used. The art used in some cases can amplify the mood the author/artist is trying to express.

Characters (8/10)

The characters in this Manga were all very different. Some were very unique while others were a bit cliched. Characters such as Sumire (ramen girl) don't appear much in Anime or Manga; she eats so much ramen, yet she's conscious about her weight. Other characters such as Mio (daughter of company president) was a typical Ojou-sama/tsundere character, however it is later revealed that she was completely different from what others perceived of her. The simplest character in my opinion would be Elsea. Demon, lived for 300 years but looks like a high-school student, quite clueless, yet there's just something about her that makes you love her. The only character that I disliked in the Manga was Chihiro because she annoyed me with her attitude of liking too many guys, but later on I found her to be an interesting character. All the characters in this Manga were all very different and amusing to read about.

Enjoyment (10/10)

Because this is fully based on my opinion, I thoroughly enjoyed this Manga. Every chapter kept me intrigued and wanting more. The main idea of the Manga was a bit loose in later chapters but Mangas that don't gradually change overtime would eventually get boring and the readers wouldn't enjoy them as much.

Overall (9/10)

Overall, I would say that this is one of the most unique and interesting Mangas out there and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading romances/harems.

Trains, Hogwarts, Happy Cups and Genuine Cowhide

It's been a while since we sat that fateful entrance exam. And luckily, our fates turned out to be awesome: we were all going to Melbourne High!!!!!!

"IT'S A CASTLE!!!!!!! A CASTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~"

As Dumbledore said at Hogwarts' welcoming day, we would be experiencing many new things we would eventually have to get used to, such as taking the Hogwarts express to get to school. (Translation: As Mr Luderwick said at Melbourne High's welcoming day, we would be experiencing many new things that we would eventually have to get used to, such as taking the Metro trains to get to school.) 

Hogwarts

Well, they're both castles. I think they are distant relatives. Or maybe even cousins?

Since I know that I'm a complete idiot, I decided that I really needed to be familiar with the trains, and where exactly to get on and off. What better way to familiarise myself with the train stops than to actually get on and off them?

So I called Lambert, who's in year 9 at Melbourne High, and I asked him to show me the route. The rest of my day was spent on jumping on and off trains with him. We both knew that we would need a lotta energy, so before getting on the train at Glen Waverley Station, we stopped at Happy Cup and each bought a lychee flavoured  bubble tea (cos we're so asian and all. and sexc). Lambert said that he went to the place nearly everyday after school, and so far his average of pearls in a cup was 54. I forgot to count mine. After finishing his current cup, his average dropped to 53. Tragic.

EXACT same logo and all to the ones we bought, except for the "Sydney" part. (If you can see it)

I bought a daily ticket for the day (no shit) at the station, and tucked it in behind my student ID card inside my new wallet. And guess what? It's made of genuine cowhide mo-fo's. (It even smelt like cowhide) The wallet was so epic, that it kept me entertained for the entire 45 minute train ride, while Lambert was watching anime on his PDA. THAT'S RIGHT. HIS PDA!!!!!!!! We remember that piece of crap all too clearly don't we?

Lovely!

I had some awkward moments on the train. The guy sitting beside me smelt bad (No, not Lambert). Just joking. However, after a while I did feel a bit nauseous from the constant rocking of the carriage. I also fell over when the train stopped and made a fool of myself...

Me being me, I also misplaced my ticket, and couldn't find it in my wallet, so we couldn't really take a bus back home from Glen Waverley Station. However, i didn't tell Lambert that, and we ended up taking a bus. I didn't scan my ticket (cos I didn't have it), so I had to try act really casual in front of everyone; especially the bus driver. Luckily, no one noticed. We ended up finding out we actually took the wrong bus, and the driver had to stop for us. We're such arses.

There were no buses left, so we ended up walking back home. But before that, we went to the same place to get another Happy Cup. The guy working there was the same guy as before, so he either thought we were awesome customers, or retards. From the look on his face, I think he was thinking "retards".

So that's basically it. Oh, and when I got home, my father found my daily ticket. It was in my wallet. I sometimes wonder how people find things without trying, while you are extremely desperate, while still ending up with nothing.







YIEUOAY~~~!

Animations with a low budget

So today I thought I'd do something different. I'm going to list a bunch of flaws in animations. If an animations has over a third of these, they were made on a low budget.

1. The characters are made of shapes.
2. The backgrounds are made of shapes.
3. Everything looks too simple.
4. Mouth movements are not synchronised.
5. There are no variations in mouth movements.
6. Episodes are not consistent.
7. No comedy. no story.
8. They use the same voice actors/actresses for the supporting characters.
9. They use the same voice actors/actresses for the main characters.
10. They use one voice for everything.
11. They don't incorporate words at all.
12. Lack of characters.
13. Dubs. Every dubbed animation sucks. Period.
14. Theme songs/OP & ED stolen from somewhere.
15. Inadequate CG.

Bonerific

Eh, respectable

I don't even...

That's about all I can think of for now. If this gets popular I might do another one.

Another Chinese School Related Post

That's right. Chinese school.

You know, I used to think that Chinese school was stupid, but now... it's just frigging gay. I apologise for using the word "gay", since Chinese School isn't happy or homosexual. Instead it's happily being homosexual to its students.

Last week, they got me to write an essay (see post "eating Chinese people") and so this week they decided to run an essay competition in which I had to COMPLETELY MEMORISE the essay I wrote last week, and write it on a sheet of paper in 45 minutes. Crazy right? Yes, this all happened to me today. What's more is that there was also the weekly homework to be handed in, as well as ANOTHER essay that was due today. (the 3rd part of a project)

Me feel fucked

But they still didn't think it was enough. They made the end of semester test next week. The practice test, that was given to us today as well, was normally nearly the same as the actual test, but for the first time in ten years, they decided to make it very different to the real test.

So wish me luck next week. Cos I'm gonna need it.



(Another depressing/ranting post. I am terribly sorry, but that's just how my life is. )






YIEUOAY~!!!!!!!

not.
