Adam Lambert!

So we all know that I'm not exactly an active blogger and twitterer, but today I tweeted like crazy to get Adam Lambert to the top of trending topics, and my efforts paid off!



But sadly it only stayed as the top trending topic for maybe about half an hour or so =\ At least Adam remained in the trending topics for quite some time :D My friends were dumbfounded when they opened their twitter homepage and realised that it's flooded with all my twats XP (twats : Adam's term for lame, boring tweets)

And I gained about 11 followers in a day just by twating non-stop hahaha XD Found some fellow Glamberts as well :) Okay I think I'm going to stop here (Yes pathetically short post but I've been twating for the whole day and it's almost as good as blogging).

If you're interested follow me on Twitter @hisora :D Be warned that I have a steady stream of Adam posts though >3

Note : Adam made it to the trending topics because of his dope performance in Tampa, and apparently someone stalked him. Mainly because of his performance I suppose ♥

Finally an update.

Good grief I realised that I haven't been blogging for more than a week. I'm going back to those "dark ol' days" rofl. But the fact remains that my life has been so helplessly mundane that I have nothing to blog about. So here I am, posting about my KL trip 2 weeks ago which I held off for so long.

I took the 10.30am bus to KL with my mom, and this Indian woman was talking non-stop behind us! Imagine! From Butterworth to KL! On the phone, to her partner, yak yak yak non-stop. Thank goodness for MP3 players! (well, actually in my case it was my PSP but it's practically the same thing <3) My mom complained to me regularly though haha. We reached KL at about 4.00pm because the buses aren't allowed to go fast any more... Once there we took a LRT from Pudu to KLCC while waiting for my aunt to pick us up at Kerinchi station in the evening. KLCC, my FAVOURITE mall in Malaysia just because of KINOKUNIYA~! I swear all my moolah flows straight there =_= Mom told me to not dawdle and just choose the books that I want...hrm...ah well I'm not complaining, my dad actually told me NOT to go there (cause he knows I spend a bomb there =\)

I bought the July issue of Fool's Mate and Arena 37C, both featuring Gackt-sama XDDD He is the most beautiful man on earth...to me! Hey hey I know you have your own opinions! I was also contemplating whether or not I should buy Kuroshitsuji's TV animation 'Black Record' which costs RM104.40 (ouch). But then I remembered that I have my Daruma card, offering 28% off any book, which means I'll be able to buy it for RM75.20! So off the shelf it goes straight into my paper bag :D My purchases totaled to almost RM200 though... told you I spend a bomb there x_x Next, we went to grab a bite, and what better timing that to try out them sandwiches at Subway (no I have never eaten there prior) I enjoyed my meal, and also the soft chocolate-chip cookies :D After that, we went to Cold Storage (my favourite groceries store) where I FINALLY bought Pop Tarts (Geez I've been reading about them for the past ten years and I only get to try them NOW D:) and a bag of Cookie Monster cookies XD I'm now in love with Pop Tarts *__* Gotta get my supply when I head down to KL again next month haha.

The next day, I went to DaiCon (11th of July, held in MMU Cyberjaya) with Yumimi and Emily. I was pretty excited to go there, as the itinerary looked promising. However, I must say, I was slightly disappointed when I got there. The venue itself wasn't exactly strategic and rather hard to reach for non-KL-ites. The Doujin booths weren't exactly big in numbers, and you had to line up like mad to even view the KKnM stall (which I didn't do, seeing as how a mere cushion cover costs RM99.90...brr...) There weren't many cosplayers on the first day, I heard that more of them went on the second day. I didn't snap pictures of the cosplayers except for the Mario brothers (they were the most interesting ones to me of the day XD) and 3 Espadas. I forgot to snap a shot of Sebastian T_T Why oh why did I forget Sebastian T_T Apparently a group of people cosplaying Kuroshitsuji characters went on the second day... Sad :(

And the karaoke competition was... well, to put it nicely, like a failed audition of American Idol. There were some notable voices, don't get me wrong, but overall, yeah. (Why do I have the feeling that I'm gonna get bombarded by this statement? =_=) The solo cosplay competition was ruled by Mario and Dante (in my opinion, anyway. I still do NOT know who the winners are ._.) There was also a Maid Cafe to get food and drinks (duh), but as with the KKnM stall, you had to line up for a seat, so I didn't dine there (cause I wasn't feeling particularly hungry). At the end of the day I bought a Grell and Sebastian badge, and a few printings of Heise. I FRIGGIN REGRET NOT BUYING HER ARTBOOK DARN IT D: Oh please set up a booth in CF T_T Speaking of CF, the CF booth members announced that they were giving out free T-shirts in their booth, so I rushed there and managed to get one XD It's nice :D (Okay pics the next time. I haven't uploaded anything from my cam to my comp in ages o_O There. Sue me. *a ton of bills come crashing down on me* .__.)

Yumimi left rather early as she had to go to Church in the evening. Emily and I left after the cosplay competition, as Chihara Minori's Q&A session was up next. Since we didn't have tickets, there was not much point in us lingering around longer. We were... dreading the long walk down (It's a looooooooong way down from DaiCon's building to the main campus exit). We were sort of clueless as to the right way to the exit, so I asked a security guard for directions. I am forever pleased with my intuition (and lucky stars XP) because that nice pakcik (Malay term for 'uncle') offered to drive us to the exit, saving us a crapload of time and energy *__* Terima kasih banyak-banyak! (thank you very much) We then took a bus down to Putrajaya Central, and from there took another bus to Kelana jaya LRT station. Gosh on the way to Kelana Jaya the bus we were on had a minor accident where a car bumped into it ._. Freaky ._. But thank kami-sama we are safe ._.

We parted ways in Kelana Jaya - she boarded to LRT back to UM and I waited there for my uncle to pick me up. This is actually my first time taking public transportation (apart from a school bus, that doesn't count) alone with a friend, without my parents. Yes, yes, pathetic. But my dad is super over-protective -_- So yes I'm happy that I finally got a bit of freedom haha XD I kinda feel sorry for Yumimi who had to walk all the way down to the campus exit (but then again, why didn't she ask a security guard for directions? XP), take a cab to Putrajaya Central cause she couldn't wait for the bus, and then take an ERL to KL Central where she took an LRT back to UM. Ouch, think of how much that must've costed her =_=

And the next day, it was time to head back to Butterworth. My aunt brought us to 101 Mall before dropping us in Pudu though. I swear, I've been to 101 Mall for more times than I've been to Gurney Plaza or Queensbay Mall even though I'm supposed to be a Penang-ite =o= The new wing there has opened, but there still weren't that many shops haha. Ended up strolling in the old wing. All in all this trip was rather... bleak save for that wonderful time in KLCC lol. I didn't even make it to Times Square or Sungei Wang to check out the shops selling Harajuku-ish outfits T_T

Phew. Friggin long post. Will update with pics later on (hopefully >P)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movie

...turned out to be a TOTAL disaster. I went to the movies with my mom to catch the 11.45 a.m movie and regretted it. Please. To all ardent fans of the books, brace yourselves for a total nightmare. And this is obviously going to be a post full of spoilers so kindly do not read if you despise spoilers.




You have been warned.



Still want to read on? Please, by all means, be my guest.




START OF SPOILER-FILLED RANT.

Honestly. Barely ONE second into the movie and it has already deviated from the books. Now, if you've read the books, you'll realise that the first chapter consists of a meeting between two ministers - the Minister of Magic and the Prime Minister of the muggle world. Sadly, the movie didn't have that scene at all. In fact, we were not even introduced to Rufus Scrimgeour, the new Minister of Magic. Yes, Fudge was sacked in case you didn't know. We were instead treated to the scene where Harry was sitting in a muggle cafe reading 'The Daily Prophet' while a muggle girl starts chatting up to him. The he sees Dumbledore across the subway. Now, as you readers should know, Dumbledore went to Privet Drive where Harry was staying with the Dursleys to escort Harry to the Burrow. But noooo, the producers decided that the discussion of Sirius' will was too trifle. (Alright, alright, I admit. Compared to the rest of the story it IS pretty trifle but STILL! D:)

Anyway I shall skip over most of the main movie, or I'll take forever to upload this post. I shall just state the differences and my dissatisfaction with the main plot.

To be frank, I was rather looking forward to the scene in Madam Malkin's where Draco and the threesome were engaged in an argument. That scene was also not included. Alright, I thought to myself. Fair enough, seeing as how it wasn't really significant with the main story, (I can't believe I just typed that sentence out!) but when the threesome tailed Draco to Borgins and Burkes, Draco was ALONE, not with his mother. He tried so hard to shake free of her so that he could attend to his business ALONE. And we were not shown what he intended to purchase or repair in the book, but we were immediately notified that he was interested in the vanishing cabinet. That is probably one of the biggest deviations from the original storyline.

Yet another disappointment was the exclusion of the House of Gaunt. As you readers should know, this was one of the main plots of the whole story. For those who rely solely on the movie, I shall shed some light on this intriguing, yet sadly left out, chapter. This chapter focused on the memory of Bob Ogden who worked in the Ministry of Magic. He paid a visit to the House of Gaunt because Morfin Gaunt was believed to have attacked a muggle. Upon reaching, he was shocked to be held at knife and wand point by Morfin, and spoken to in Parseltongue. Morfin's father then appeared and conversed to Ogden in English. The two Gaunts showed signs of deepest loathing towards muggles and had some sort of violent streak in them. The father was an extremely proud character and relishes the fact that the Gaunts are the direct descendants of Salazar Slytherin. Merope, Morfin's sister, however, was assumed to be a squib as she couldn't perform decent magic, and was mistreated by both her father and brother. She was also infatuated with a handsome muggle, which drove her father really mad. It is later revealed that Merope is the Dark Lord's mother, and the handsome muggle, his father. The Dark Lord was named Tom, after his father, Marvolo after his grandfather, and his surname, Riddle. So there you have it. Who says this isn't an important plot?

The movie included a scene which was not found in the book, however. It was Christmas, and everyone were having fun in The Burrow (home of the Weasleys) when Death Eaters decided to appear and lure Harry out and set fire to The Burrow. Frankly, I don't see the point of this scene at all. They could've done away with these 5 minutes and put on the House of Gaunt instead! Honestly! *starts firing up again*

And I saw a scene that was TOTALLY wrong. So wrong, I don't even know how such a mistake could've occured. Alright, perhaps it's just me, perhaps it's because of the fact that I'm a highly meticulous person who pays attention to the tiniest details towards things that I like (I doubt anyone even noticed this error), but really, I never thought that a day would come where Slytherins and Gryffindors were on talking terms, let alone joke around with each other, sharing food. It was a scene in the Great Hall where Harry was chatting with Hermione (at least, I think it was Hermione, can't really recall) during breakfast. Those two students were in the background, and I suppose they forgot what house robes they were wearing, but they were chatting with each other cosily. I didn't know whether to laugh at the mere thought of a Slytherin and a Gryffindor being friendly with each other, or bury my head in my hands in shame and disappointment.

Right. Those were the main things that I just had to get out of my system. Of course, there were tons of things I'd like to rant and critic about, but I'm seriously getting rather tired (as I'm sure you are as well). I'll just type down an extra few deviations in brief. Here goes :

#1 : Felix Felicis, the luck potion, is supposed to be molten gold in colour, not clear/transparent. That's supposed to be veritaserum, the truth potion.

#2 : Harry and Ron did NOT fight for their copies of Advanced Potion Making, it was Professor Slughorn who assigned the books to them. Though I must say, it added some sort of comic relief to the movie so I wouldn't bear too much of a grudge on this one.

#3 : Speaking of Professor Slughorn, he is supposed to have a huge belly and an enormous walrus-like mustache.

#4 : Ron and Hermione squabbled A LOT. This was portrayed rather pathetically in the movie, sad to say, although Emma Watson and Rupert Grint did great jobs acting out their parts.

#5 : Tonks was supposed to be miserable looking, and was supposed to be the one who found Harry in the train compartment after Draco immobilized him and covered him with the Invisibility Cloak, not Luna.

#6 : WHERE THE HELL DID FLEUR AND BILL DISAPPEAR TO, EH?!

And on that scandalized note, I end this terribly long rant. Blimey, I haven't even rated the movie! Okay, here goes. To be fair, it IS a rather interesting watch, what with loads of Draco screen-time young Tom Riddle cool graphics and some comical moments, so if you're aboard the Harry Potter fandom train just based on the movies, I reckon you won't be sorely disappointed. I'd even go so far as to say it rates about an 8/10 BASED ON THE MOVIE ALONE. However, as we should all be clear by now, I am an obsessed devotee to the books, and so I'd have to say, it rates only a 2.5/10 (and that's just for Draco Malfoy and young Tom Riddle).

So there you have it. Thank you for bearing with me for so long and taking the time to read through this whole thing.

In Loving Memory

I was rudely awakened by a stranger at 6a.m. Brainless idiot didn't even make a sound when I said 'Hello?' twice. Anyway, I tried going back to sleep but later at around 8a.m I heard my mom saying something about "Michael Jackson is dead!" in the living room. I thought perhaps it was just a figure of speech, because he hasn't really been active lately apart from scheduling the concert in London. And I was still rather groggy myself. A few minutes later the rational part of my brain told me that my previous assumptions just couldn't be right. I mulled the thought over in my head when my mom came into my room, breaking the devastating news to me.

Now, I'm not going to go into the details of his career and details of how he passed away (the cause was said to be due to cardiac arrest), as I'm sure people have already read all about it and I don't want to be redundant. I'm just going to blog about my feelings on this matter.

I am a fan of MJ, well, truthfully, not an ardent one, but I really appreciate and love listening to his songs. I do recall being crazy over his songs when I was a young, young kid though. Sadly, almost none of my friends in primary school are his fans, so I suppose the fandom started to die down a little. I continued listening to his songs and watching his MVs, however. I just had no-one to discuss about him with. Needless to say, I was really distraught with the news and couldn't seem to believe it. Even now, it feels like a hoax. I'm somewhat expecting someone to announce over the media, "Hey! April's Fools was just delayed for 2 and a half months! June's Fools everyone! MJ is not really well but is definitely alive!" or something like that. It's just so... sudden and shocking.

A local radio station, Mix.fm is playing MJ's songs for the whole day today as a tribute to him, and some of it were the American Idol contestants' versions. I nearly cried with agony when Kris' rendition of 'Remember the Time' was on air. What a terrible, terrible disgrace. I'm sorry, but a phenomenal song (one of my favourites, in fact) was instantly turned into a miserably boring one. Flame me all you want, Kris lovers, but I stand by my statement. The point is, MJ is - pardon me, was, a "One and only" type of artist. He was a true performer. To date, I don't think any other artist has managed to create the kind of atmosphere and fandom only MJ is able to. He is truly deserving of the title "The King of Pop" - nobody will be able to take that title away from him.

I saw people posting nasty comments like "Great. One less pervert to worry about." and "Child molesters should burn in hell!" Honestly speaking, those people are rather shallow. You respect and admire an artist/singer for their musical talents, and their personal life is up to them. Kind of like how people started bad talking Adam Lambert when pictures of him kissing another guy was circulated around the internet. Ah well... they are entitled to their thoughts, but I just find it rather disturbing and.... childish.

I wrote some sort of eulogy for him. Sounds kinda cheesy and weird but, oh well.

Michael, it doesn't matter if you are black or white, it is thriller enough to rock with you. I remember the time, the way you make me feel like a smooth criminal listening to you sing the song “Bad”. I cry when I found out that you are gone too soon. I just can't stop loving you and I hope you know that you are not alone.
Sheesh I'm still feeling depressed after a good 10 hours! Although I do not personally know him (DUH!) it's really sad and distressing when a legend passes on, especially when you grew up listening to his songs. I regret that I've never been able to attend his concert at least once. My final words are, "Though he may be physically gone, he will continue to live on as a legend in the hearts of millions. Thank you, Michael, for years and years of solid entertainment. May your soul find eternal peace."

Farrah Fawcett, famous for her debut in the hit TV series, "Charlie's Angels" also passed away due to cancer yesterday. May her soul also find eternal peace. It's actually kind of sad how everyone is buzzing over MJ's death and not paying much heed to Farrah's death... (yes sadly I'm one of them T_T)

Arashi fan message

Emily came over again last night just for fun (since she's leaving for KL this coming Saturday... and so I'm left all alone. Here. Aaaanywayyy...) and we finally got down to writing our messages for the Arashi 10 years anniversary project. She was really tired and wasn't really in the mood to think up of long messages while I was fretting all over it hahaha. She kept staring at me and asked me to get it over and done with ._. Anyway here's the end result :D



The top box was obviously done by me while the bottom one was filled on by Emily haha. We hope Arashi will actually read our messages and not swt over it ._.
By the way I used those 5 colours in the word "Colorful!!" to represent each of them XD Since each Arashi member represents a colour ;D I hope they catch the intended meaning haha ^^

Okay this ends this very short post. Yea I'm kinda uninspired to blog lately but I must say I'm making a huge progress compared to last time. At least I blog a few times a week now as opposed to once every few weeks in the past =.=

Never Again

I've had a good night's rest (well, good, considering yet another weird dream I had. This time it involved lightning and something about Armageddon. Perhaps the world will end because lightning struck everyone =\ I don't know. I hope not o_O) and today I'm feeling pretty much better compared to yesterday. Just one thing left to do. I'm dedicating this song, 'Never Again' by Kelly Clarkson to a certain someone because I feel that the lyrics of the song are SO appropriate. Except that we aren't lovers. It's more like I'll never be able to trust that person ever again. And even though we may remain as friends I doubt it'll ever be the same again. Enjoy.



(This is the only video I was able to find that didn't restrict embedding @_@)

Lyrics:
I hope the ring you gave to her
Turns her finger green
I hope when you're in bed with her
You think of me

I would never wish bad things
But I don't wish you well
Could you tell
By the flames that burned your words?

I never read your letter
'Cause I knew what you'd say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try and make it all okay

Does it hurt
To know I'll never be there?
Bet it sucks
To see my face everywhere
It was you
Who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know

You knew
Exactly what you would do
Don't say
You simply lost your way
She may believe you
But I never will
Never again

If she really knows the truth
She deserves you
A trophy wife, oh how cute

Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes
And he's through with you
And he'll be through with you
You'll die together but alone

You wrote me in a letter
You couldn't say it right to my face
Well give me that Sunday school answer
Repent yourself away

Never again will I hear you
Never again will I miss you
Never again will I fall to you
Never

Never again will I kiss you
Never again will I want to
Never again will I love you
Never

Life also has its bitter moments

Sure, life is generally sweet, but it's hard to keep up a cheery front when everything just starts going downhill. And people lord it all over you right in front of your face. That just ain't cool. And sometimes when it becomes too much to handle, it's a relief to be able to rest against the calming darkness that envelops you in its cool embrace.

Okay I'm starting to sound too gothic here (which, incidentally, I am. I love goth. Heaven knows why I set up a hyperactively bouncy bright pink blog which I charmingly named 'Sweet Slices of Life' when I should have named it 'Bitter Flecks of Hell' instead.) No, seriously, I'm should stop sounding so gloomy. After all, what's life if everything's just too sweet? Diabetic, that's what. Ehem. I'm still sounding sarcastic. Pardon me.

Anyway I've been having weird but interesting dreams lately. On Tuesday night I dreamt of Adam Lambert. We were sort of in a telematch game where all players were blindfolded and had to try 'pushing' other players out of the circle. Yeeeeaaahhh... total wth-ness I know. I woke up feeling totally weird.

Wednesday night had me dreaming about 'Heroes'. The main characters in my dream were Sylar, Hiro Nakamura and I. The main plot of the dream was that Sylar and I were trying to escape from a facility, and Hiro joined us later on (I suppose he's trying to escape as well lol). In th dream I could freeze time, but my power had a time limit (something like Piper from 'Charmed'). Anyway we managed to escape from the facility, but when we were outside a car came speeding towards us. Noah Bennett was in the driver's seat while Claire was in the passenger seat, both of them poking their heads out of the window yelling something rather intimidating at the both of us. Later other cars started surrounding us as well, and those people were all wielding guns o_O For some reason Sylar tried to shield me (Awww... XP) but I got shot all the same. (dang D:) It was a pretty nasty wound, so he carried me and I'm not quite sure how but we managed to escape those maniacs lol. Whatever happened next was a blur, you know how dreams are, it's a wonder you actually get to remember it the next day.

Last night's was probably the weirdest dream I had in ages. For some unexplainable reason, I dreamt of Leonardo DiCaprio. I say it's weird because I'm not even a fan of him. I've only watched two movies of his - Blood Diamond and Titanic. And while I think that Blood Diamond is a brilliant movie, I haven't given much thought to the actors after watching it 2 years ago. So why on earth did I even dream of Leonardo? I can't really recall the dream in detail, but apparently I was chatting with him about something in a limo. I even took a picture with him =_= Yeah... sounds dumb, I know. I also dreamt about my primary school music teacher, Puan Ding. (To non-Malay speaking people, Puan is the Malay term for 'Madam', or 'Mrs.') Apparently she was going to conduct some sort of orchestra, and I was to play the piano. This really brought back memories of my primary school days =D

Anyway, yeah. The most vivid dream I recalled was obviously the 'Heroes' dream lol. I was just summarizing it all up in this post haha. Gyeh, I suppose I feel slightly better now. As long as I don't bump into any more offensive people today ;D

Holy smokes I drove a car illegally!

Emily came over tonight (as she does almost every Wednesday and Friday nights) and we had fun shooting the crotches of zombies in Resident Evil on Wii. Time passed by real quick, and before we knew it, it was time for her to say buh-bye. I accompanied her downstairs (I live in a flat) as she needed help carrying the box of 'Hajime Kindaichi' manga I borrowed from her. Once we were downstairs, I asked her casually,

Me : Let's go for a spin.

Emily : Sure. Let's go.

Me : Wth you serious? How 'bout you let me go for a test drive in your car and you be my 'driving instructor'?

Emily : Sure. If you're fine with it I'm fine with it.

Me : O_O XDDD Hokayyyy let's do this XD

Emily : Okay now just let me find an empty stretch of road where there aren't any cars then we can switch places.

*finally finds a place where it's literally deserted*

*changes seats*


And yay! My first time in the driver's seat! (Excluding those times when I was a kid posing in a stationary car with no keys XP) Yes, sadly, even though I'm of legal age to drive, for some reason my dad is still reluctant to let me take up a driving license -_- Emily drives an auto, so it was slightly easier to maneuver? Hahaha my first time stepping on the accelerator was total wth-ness, I didn't quite know how much pressure to apply so the car moved very jerkily XD;;; but Emily had her hands on the steering wheel as well and told me how much pressure to apply so all went well :D I even made a turn! No, make it TWO turns!! XDD

Thank goodness the ride went smoothly (well, it WAS really jerky, actually, but the point is I didn't bang into anyone/thing LOL. There was once where her car came real close to brushing the side of a stationary car but we managed to pull through that XP;; And also another time where I managed to brake in time at a corner where there was an oncoming car so... yeah ^^

All in all I'd say I did pretty good for someone who doesn't even know the basics of driving XP Heck, I haven't even sat for the "Undang-undang" paper (Which literally translates to driving law, or something like that. Correct me please if I'm wrong.) To say the least, this was definitely a night to remember ;P

Bleach 'haikus'

I was flipping through my old notebook and realised that I haven't written haikus in ages, and the sudden urge to make up random haikus surged through me. Since I'm currently (re)obsessed with Bleach, one random word led to another and before I knew it, I came up with a bunch of (totally senseless and stupid) Bleach haikus! XP

[In case you do not know, a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that is typically written in a 5-7-5 syllable format]

Here goes!

Abarai Renji
A fiercely loyal warrior
With really cool shades
(This was the first one I did that got me started on this craziness XD)

Kuchiki-taichou
A charismatic captain
Whose glance freezes all
(>w<;;;)
Yamamoto-jii
Elderly yet deadly man
His bankai pwns all
(Yes I know pwn technically isn't a word but oh well *shrugs*)

Ichi A Gogo
A substitute soul reaper
Name means strawberry
(I've ALWAYS loved calling Ichigo that way >D Besides, it fits the 5 syllable criteria 8D)

Hitsugaya-kun
Young captain of the tenth squad
Tiny yet deadly
(I love that last sentence XD)

Sousuke Aizen
Sneaky captain of squad five
Do not mess with him
(This one got me LOL-ing XD)

Ichimaru Gin
Has a really freaky grin
Makes everyone cringe
(Possibly my favourite of the lot XD)

Hiisagi Shuuhei
Guy with the kinky tattoo
God knows what it means
(Hahaha I didn't quite know how to end it =\)

Grimmjow Jaegerjaques
Once lost his arm to Tousen
He has bright blue hair
(I swear his long name is only 5 syllables long! O_O)

Yumichika-san
Loves nothing more than beauty
Extreme narcissist
(You know what, I really like Yumichika! He's ghey XD)

Kenpachi-taichou
Battlefield loving maniac
Wears a cool eyepatch
(Initially thought of 'Has a weird hairstyle' but I've already used hair for Grimmjow lol)

And that's all I did (for now, anyway). Yes yes I do realise that most of them (fine, ALL of them) are weird but hey! I was having some fun there! I might actually continue making haikus for each of the main characters in Bleach (yes I know I left out Rukia T_T) when I feel like it >w<

To-Do List + Opinions on blogowar

Gyahh I've been doing nothing but procrastinate for these past few months. Every day I wake up, bathe/eat, sit in front of the comp for about 4 hours, play my NDS, read a novel, eat, sleep, same cycle all over again. And I'm terribly ashamed to say that I haven't been keeping up with my resolution of practicing my instruments more (instruments being the piano and violin, no 'hehe' thoughts people!) even though I've been given all the time in the world. Here are a couple of things I'm forcing myself to do by the end of the month.

#1 : Upload the base piano instrumental version of 'Last Song' for VapourXY on YouTube. I feel so terribly bad - I've held it off for about 2 months now =\ Bad bad me >_< I promise to get it done by this week ._.

#2 : Get started on the ARASHI 10th Anniversary fan message project by Arashi_On. The deadline's some time next week O_O

#3 : Be able to play the whole Toccata in D Minor (the...Dracula theme song) decently by the end of this month. Gosh my LTCL exam is in half a year and I still can't play the full song! Also practice Jeux Deau. My life depends on it.

#4 : Draft out the program notes for my LTCL exam. Experience has told me that program notes can either make or break you. And thank God my notes for the ATCL examination received rather high marks.

#5 : Get started on the story I had in mind but just too darned lazy to write down.

Now that my 'list' is out of the way, I'm going to give my opinion on the (amusing) 'blogowar' (I prefer calling it a catfight) between Yumimi and Ann-Hime. The gist of the war is about smoking. Yumimi was trashing smokers, while Ann-Hime was justifying them. So there. Now, I personally know Yumimi and I've never even met Ann-Hime, and I think both of them have the right to rant all they want in their own blogs, but I must say Yumimi is being a tad bit extreme when she says that she'll break up with her boyfriend if he starts smoking. Well, it's her choice and she entitled to her opinion, but yeah. I still think it's a tad bit extreme.

And perhaps she just needs to calm down a little, she says she expected some sort of reaction from Ann-Hime but she isn't used to backlash, but really, if you trashed someone, you don't quite expect them to smile at you and say, 'Gee, thanks. That was reaaaallly nice of you to diss me back there. Now why don't I add in an extra cube of sugar in your tea and we can both laugh and smile about how you totally put me down in your post." Sorry, Yumimi, but you did sort of trash talk about some stuff I love in the past and so I'm telling you why people retaliate the way they do. So just chill out.

As for my opinion on smokers, I hate them. Inconsiderate cigarette smokers, at least. Boy oh boy, I wouldn't want to relive that time when I was helping my uncle out in his handphone shop and dozens of people walked past smelling like a whole barrel of smoke. Heck, some customers even puffed straight in my face without even having the decency to turn his head sideways. Dumb selfish idiots. No matter. Retribution still exists. However, people who choose to smoke already know the risks they're taking, yet still continue to do so. Fine by me. So as long as you do not drag me along to your early grave. If you want to smoke that badly, then please, do it some place where it would not affect others, for heaven's sake.

I would, however, be interested in pipe-smoking at least once in my life. Not as an addict, but just to experience the taste of tobacco. Apparently pipe-smoking poses less threat of contracting cancer (hey, I'm not saying it's safe, I'm saying that it's not as dangerous as cigarette smoking, according to what I've been reading online anyway) as long as you do not overdo it. And I won't be doing it any time soon (ARE YOU CRAZY DO YOU WANT MY PARENTS TO BEAT ME TO A PULP??!). I'm just really taken to the idea of pipe-smoking (it looks waaay cooler than waving a cigarette stick, IMO >P) and I'd really like to use a Kiseru (an old style Japanese smoking pipe) once :D (Ok fine so sue me for watching too much anime and thinking that they look cool.)


Kiseru


This ends my post. I hope I didn't quite offend anyone :P
