*sigh I know that I haven't been a good blogger and post anything for the last err... hmm... actually I have no idea... and you know what? My current preoccupation is with MANGAS!! I know that I really shouldn't desire upon it coz it will surely bring me down with the weight of my projects slightly weighing me down... and I again shamelessly disregard my commitment as a design student and pursue my desire to walk around the city and window shop or more likely... shop for mangas... and today bought two *oh yeah... ^--^
Anyways... the reason I am here is a complaint that I want to make... I never knew that those safety officers stationed at train stations are so unthoughtful... my gosh... me and my uni friend went home one day... (we live in the same suburb) but due to err... carelessness she put her ticket down on the seat and forgotten to pick it up so basically she forgotten her ticket... the only ordeal that she needs to go through was convincing the guard at the door that she lost her ticket... and noticably enough she was being interrogated... I mean it surprisingly sounds like an interrogation to me... then suddenly his colleague turned up beside me... come to think of he surprisingly was surprisingly silent when coming near me so basically I noticed him when he was near me which is quite strange since he is huge! Anyways... he talked to me "is that your friend?" "yeah" "she lost her ticket?" *nod "hmm... that's a bit strange isn't it? Losing a ticket like that?" Right at that point I knew that he really didn't believe her and nor me... he thought I was a culprit too... hmphf... I wish I have the authority to say "who the hell do you think you are provoking a civilian like that?!?" But seriously it was a very intimidating situation that is not supposed to happen... I mean FOR GOODNESS SAKE HE SUSPECTED ME TOO!!! And seriously though I am not over exaggerating if you are in my situation you would certainly think that way too... *sigh
OK that is enough whining for today... nonetheless today was fun and hope to do it again soon ^--^
See ya

"I don't see the point in living if I can't be beautiful!"
This time it was Christian Bale saying it and me and Sue are just laughing our asses off HAHAHAHA particularly Sue she laughed the hardest and the most disturbing thing is that the whole cinema was almost empty except for a couple of seats and we were in the small theatre too... alright... I'm kinda jumping a whole length just then so let me start from the beginning...
It was Thursday (that is today) and we have a lect at 9 and Sue's and my tutorials start right after the lecture... We went up to tutorials but we both got different tutes but the thing is Sue didn't want to go see her tutor because apparently she hasn't done any work :P I know... insane...
Alright this was her dilemma... she wanted to see the dubbed version of Howl's Moving Castle but it starts at 11.30 and our tute starts at 10.00... but she feels that maybe she shouldn't go because she has Tae Kwon Do obligations which I thought was very funny since her extra activities are much more important than the tutorials (I'm not trying to be mean I am just stating the obvious :P) so it was about 11.00 when my tute saw my work and review it etc... am not going to talk about that because I sure can nag about his comments a lot and tell you in a very sarcastic mode about what happened during the pin-up... anyways... to tell it straight to the point I decided to go when there is clearly only about 20 minutes to go until the movie starts... and am having conflicting opinion whether I should go to the movies or not... and in the end... I decided to go since I really want to see the dubbed version and my tute already seen me anyway and am just going to continue with what he has said... we'll talk about that later on when I am heated up for an argument about that meeting... right now I am tired but for some reason my ego wants me to write this on the blog... so no use... my ego is much stronger than my brain =_=... anyways... you see right now I don't even think that my brain is working really that properly since I'm kinda sure that the above story doesn't really make sense... alright moving on...
We went anyways... with me not saying anything to my tutor and just walked off outside... hehehe... *sigh now I feel soo guilty... *sigh *sigh *sigh... I hope he won't notice (*inside my head* YEAH RIGHT!) but we went anyways... really hurriedly by the way... because Hoyts George St is pretty far away by walking from my campus... so I was kinda screwed...
But we made it on time with my legs hurting like hell... We bought the tickets and then I bought a Coke too... Sue went to the toilet but the problem is that I think I might have too many things on my hands and when I was trying to grab my Coke which was placed rather far away from me... I was sliding it to my direction when suddenly... IT FELL!! on the counter!! and tiny droplets also fell on a girl's dress!! o.O AARRGGGHHH!! now I'm really screwed!! ~_~ *sigh I was having a bad day... but the guy at the counter was nice even though I saw a bit of irritation on his face he actually refilled my cup and gave it to me... omg... that was so nice... TT_TT I really wished I could have been more careful... *sigh... so Sue and I quickly went leaving the crime scene and quickly took our seats at Cinema 18... *sigh... and then we saw the movie... I don't think I'm actually going to talk about the movie again... because the previous post was err... although vague was a bit of a summary... :P
We laughed at some of the funny bits and they were witty and I thought that Christian Bale was fitting as the voice of Howl and I also liked Jean Simmons as Grandma Sophie... oh... she's so fitting for the part... the thing that I hate is the voice of young Sophie... there is no constancy compared to the subbed version... because the voice changed so dramatically in the dubbed version... which was a bit disappointing but I guess in the end it was good that Grandma Sophie got most of the dialogue... but Christian Bale was good though *sigh...
Alright... enough of that... the movie ended and we were comparing notes on the movie (not literally of course) and Sue said she wanted to go to the toilet... well... we went... but ont he wrong direction... see the thing with toilet at that Hoyts (if you have been there you would understand) is that the male and female toilets are on completely different directions... so basically instead of the normal small alley the toilets are really separated quite far from each other... where the male toilet is on the left the female one is on the right... of course for someone who is dilligent enough would certainly realise that we were going on the wrong direction and so we went to the left because the first sign that we encountered (that is without knowing the details) says the toilet was on the left... I know you know where I am going with this but not quite... we were still talking about the movie when we turned left and then I checked where the female toilet was but there is only one open door and I stopped to check whereas Sue still talking just went in and then I noticed the male sign and was about to call Sue back when she realised that it was the male toilet! I don't know what she saw but an old man was just coming out when she realised it... hehehe... that was funny... I can't stop laughing!! HAHAHA *sigh... funny...
Next... we went to JB Hi-Fi to look at the DVDs but didn't buy any anime DVDs though... thought they were a bit too expensive... so instead we take a look at the movies... AND DISCOVERED GREAT ONES AT SMALL PRICES!! hahaha I was soo happy... And funnily enough we noticed that Hollywood Homicide is marked Best Selling when we thought it was CRAP!! Honestly... I wouldn't buy that... but I discovered that they have Reservoir Dogs on sale! As well as The Schawshank Redemption and also Finding Neverland! (although I was hesitating between Finding Neverland and The Notebook but decided maybe I'll get that in the future...) OMG!! Those movies are sold so low!! And those are one of the best ones! I can't believe it!! How can that happen?!? Ah... some people just have low taste in movies...
Anyways all things decided we bought Ice Creams on the way home... so that was all the adventure of the day... hahaha that was fun... although I find that I am acting a bit rude by walking out after the reviews... *sigh... I have to make up for it next week then...
That is all for today... I am hungry and tired... See ya

This is actually just some random comments on random things that I don't particularly take notice of but right now I am bored and am just waiting for something to happen but I guess I would have to settle with something that I got at this moment... my blog...
Alright... for no apparent reason I just thought it was quite funny that the blog about the toilet actually attracts a LOT of comments from various companies hehe funny... 6 COMMENTS!! (if you haven't take a look at it go ahead... all of 'em are actually advertisings...) that is actually the most number of comments I have ever received for one particular blog so that was funny...
Moving on... I just can't keep thinking that the weeks have been passing away so fast! We're up to our 11th week now and assignments and projects are due in another 2 weeks and am officially screwed...
Another thought... you know those enviro bags that you can buy from Woolies? Well I was thinking of new ways to design them coz I figured all enviro bags are different from each other... for example if you get it from Kinokuniya you would get this potrait format about A3 size of enviro bags but when you get to Woolies you get those big bottom ones that are not that high but they fit perfectly for groceries then there's the Myer one... hmm... Myer's one actually don't have real significance they're just there and the oh-so-popular Cotton On one or the Supre one... to me that just signifies that you go a lot to that store or that you are a shop-a-holic but maybe that's just my interpretation of those bags... but honestly I was on my way home and can't stop thinking of what other 'design' should the enviro bags have... they could be a shoulder bag which makes things easier to carry... they could be 'designer' style bags with images on them... they could be those verstile backpack but that just won't do coz the people probably wouldn't wear them then there is another suggestion that maybe those bags could be made pocket size or those ones that you can fold but I think I saw that at Co-op... so the ideas are a bit limited but that was just during my last 10 minutes before arriving home...
Continuing with the design theme in my Monday class we were assign a Grumpy Design assignment where we identify a need for public transport commuters and in the end design what they need but in the end it actually doesn't apply to what I have been designing for the problem for a while... and if any of you want any of the design be my guest and do them if you want to...
At that moment I was really focusing on eliminating the problem of boredom especially in a crowded train... you know... you basically just stand there and do nothing... I thought of putting those hand grips on the ceiling so people don't need to grab the bloody poles that are so limited in number and most of the times you just left by yourself standing for dear life!
Next proposal would be and LED single display screen that shows the headlines of the day's news so people don't need to open their newspapers etc... another design that I thought of which I thought was quite possible to do is making some people (that actually is using the train at that moment) to wear this tee with perforated back and then you just stick a newspaper page onto their back and then some people can read them... but I was thinking the con would have to be that most of the times in a crowded train your back is basically squished and so if the news is stuck onto the back most probably the article won't be read...
Another idea that struck me as ingenious in the beginning was sticking articles around the wall so that you just read it... hmm... I thought it was rather clever but in the end it sucked... hehehehe... so yeah... I'm trying to come up with ideas that are irrational but still probable...
oh... and another idea that I came up with is MORE VENTILATION omg... sometimes the trains are just reek of sweat and body odours that you just wish you can freshen up the air or something geez...
Alrighty I think that's enough babling for today my hands are getting tired and I still need to design that goddamn playing cards... *sigh... so much to do so little time...

"when dialogue fails, it's time for violence"
I know that I would have to say while writing this I am officially slacking off from my duty as a uni student and if you are about to say "who cares" I most certainly know that I, myself would say that I do care... to some extent... I have something to read for tomorrow and just up to the first couple of pages... pathetic really but I guess I would have to read some parts of it now so that I don't feel like a complete idiot when asked. (Note: all of us probably have different books to read from but we have to see...)
Alright... the above title actually comes from Ghost in the Shell: Innocence or as they say it Jap Inosensu: Koukaku Kidoutai... This is the sequel to the previous post that I post onto the blog which is about Ghost in the Shell... which is the prequel to the series... hmm... come to think of it Ghost in the Shell might be the sequel to Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series... hmm... ok I'm completely confused by now...
Right... back to what I want to talk about... the title... it is a quote given by Bateau a Section 9 agent who is in charge of a murder investigation... err... I think I better tell you the story in order to prevent MORE confusions... Maybe I should start right from the beginning... here we go...
Marina and I saw Innocence (I'm going to shorten it to avoid writing long words) in Dendy in Circular Quay... It was Thursday and we agreed on meeting at about 4.30 or something (can't quite remember) in Circular Quay and maybe I have told her or maybe I haven't that I finish at about 12 from uni (we went because we both don't have anything on Friday so no biggie ^--^) but I maybe didn't can't quite remember... so I went home after uni because I thought I might as well take a shower before I go to the movies... I went home and got everything planned and I didn't realise that the bathroom inside the house was being renovated and the plumber is here... (I should have noticed the word PLUMBER written boldly in front of a white van) I was just mucking around until I want to take a shower and when I voiced my intention to do so my auntie told me that I can't use any of the water system coz they are fixing the plumbing system sh~... yeah... I know... crap heh?!?
Then I received a message from Marina saying that she's already at Redfern, it was about 3pm and I was thinking... hmm... I thought her uni's not in the City and being so delayed I quickly took a train to the City and met her... *sigh... hahaha luckily I didn't miss the train though... imagine if I have to take the next one which was going to arrive in another half an hour... hehehehe... anyways... we met at Kinokuniya and looked in awe at the stacks of mangas they have there and can't stop daydreaming at how many of them we should get *sigh if only I have the amount of money to splurge on these luxuries I would have gladly do so... especially when I have the amount of money Paris Hilton have I probably wouldn't buy those expensive handbags and probably sold the dog just to get my hands on those invaluable amount of mangas *drooling...
ALRIGHT back to the point... we visited Kings Comics which was cool but I thought Kino has larger amount and also better deals... but I still bought 2 coz I can't be bothered to go back to Kino... hehehe... I know... lazy ass...
After that leisurely visit we went to Circular Quay by bus and OMG! The bus driver is SO rude!! especially to this lady before me... she didn't know her way and she was asking whether this bus is going to Circular Quay (in a rather indecipherable way but I still can understand) and answer her very rudely and he talked very loudly too!! Bas~rd!! And he can't even bloody drive the goddamn car!! So I give him a score of zero personality, zero service and massive attitude problem!!
Well after that drama we finally get to go to Circular Quay... drop a bit at MacD and then went to the cinema... just in time... hehehe... now about the movie itself...
One thing for sure that you would get from this movie is the word haunting... it is very haunting to me when I saw it... I always thought that collaborating three dimensional technology to a rather 2 dimensional characters won't work but I was wrong... The cinematic experience was amazing!! I LOVE IT!! I can't really say much about the storyline because it was rather cryptic and although luckily my brain was working rather well during that time keeping up with the philosophical anecdotes and metaphors being bombarded to the viewers but nonetheless it was a cinematic experience that I didn't regret at all... some people may have a different view in the movie but I personally love it ^--^ and as they say in one of the reviews "brain is optional"
But one thing for sure is that Innocence is completely different to the prequel or the original Ghost in the Shell it is more philosophically based WHICH IS WHY I LOVE IT and if you are expecting the same action and story as the predecessor than you might as well not see it... because I thought Innocence stands up as a completely different movie altogether with its very own merits... That is all that I would say...
Nonetheless I would DEFINITELY buy the DVD when it comes out... that is after the whole excitement dies down... and discounts are available :P
And after the movie ended we ate dinner at Ichiban Boshi which took agggeeeessssss due to the line or the amount of people waiting before us... anyways... that is all... hehehe... ok then... I think I'll talk about something else later on... hmm... I'm quite sleepy but I still have to read that goddamn book... oh well... I'm screwed I just got home at about 9.30 and I already spent about 1 hour on this blog... *sigh I don't think I can live without this blog... oh my lovely blog *hug
PS. I usually have A LOT of images but I can't be bothered to actually find more because I kinda like the cover of Reel Anime brochure which consist of the image above on Innocence so if anyone wants more just get them yourselves I can't be bothered to :P Alrighty that is all for me... sayonara

"Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you."
Quote from the Puppet Master in Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell, a sci-fi anime... for the record sometimes I find it hard to go on with sci-fi movies or genres and surprisingly I actually love this movie! The cinematic experience is just amazing... I don't quite know whether this is just some sort of 3-D animation or not but am sure not complaining...
Alrighty... enough of me babbling and if you think that there's any kind of story behind the seeing of the movie then I guess you might be disappointed because I bought the DVD and have no problem in transport etc ^--^ so now back to the story...
In the future there is no line between machine and humans... many humans are partly machine or a total cyborg... That is the case for Major Motoko Kusanagi... a special op leader whose body is completely made of machine... but a human brain... But I guess the real thing about the movie is really not the whole story behind the anime... it is indeed the philosophy behind it...
I have to say that it is as complex as the Matrix but I guess the whole story really deals with life and death... as they want to say it... but I love the whole philosophy and how life and everything created behind it is sometimes deprived of its meaning... *sigh...
It was beautiful... especially with Major as the main character in the movie... it was a complex yet satisfying answer to the sometimes mundane questions in life...
All in all a great GREAT movie... it is one of the few sci-fi movies that I love ^--^ There is not much to tell I guess because I haven't really watch it when I was clear headed... but one more thing that is worth mentioning is the attention to the movement and the direction is jsut smashing!! THEY ARE!!
It's amazing that an anime could be so life-like... and it doesn't just randomly edited but it was beautifully crafted... and each scene really feels like a whole real-story...
Enough of me babbling again... rent it or buy it! Whatever you want just see it if you are into Matrix or Blade Runner type of movies...

"I don't see the point in living if I CAN'T BE BEAUTIFUL!"
hehehehe... a nice start heh? That was a quote from Howl from err... Howl's Moving Castle ^--^' or as they say it in Japanese I meant the title in Japanese Hauru no ugoko shiro
But what can you say about any movies from Hayao Miyazaki? They are all beautifully done! I was rather disappointed that this movie didn't show up on the big screen earlier... coz I know that it was already done in 2004 *sigh Oz always get the short end of the stick *sigh...
Before I go on I just want to tell the whole adventure prior to the movie... M-ina, AM (M-ina's friend) and M-ina's mum and I agreed to meet up at M-ina's house, have lunch then scram to the movies... as luck would have it the plan didn't go as smoothly as err planned... AM and I did arrive early at M-ina's house, although AM arrived HEAPS early than me and I arrived just in time for the few minutes ending to Tsubasa Chronicles... Anyways... I'm not going to talk about Tsubasa Chronicles...
We had lunch (beautiful ^--^ and practical... hehehe... I guess there's no other word to describe it... coz we had to go early anyways...) and then we went (after seeing a bit of The Lord of the Yen *chuckle that was funny)
We arrived at the station rather tired because of the very VERY hot weather (31 degrees! Can you imagine?!?) and found out that if we catch the next train we will DEFINITELY be late... so the whole pandemonium started... we were a bit reluctant in getting a cab but then there is no other choice we just HAVE to go with a taxi... it was expensive but when we divided it it didn't seem too bad... and it was near anyways... ^--^
So we arrived JUST in time... to get the seats that are quite good as well as get the choc tops... hehehehe...
So I guess I have to start on the story of Howl's Moving Castle then... Oh... just a reminder... I was seeing the subbed version... so it was err... Japanese language... hehehe... haven't seen the dubbed version though I do want to see it too because apparently Hayao Miyazaki reckons it's good too...
So more to the point... I was talking about the story... Sophie is an average girl living in a somewhat middle aged society (you know how Miyazaki is... the period is always an early period, you sorta get that from the dress etc but then there is the imaginative gadgets and flying vehicles...) One day Sophie met Howl at a small alley... but unfortunately that encounter attracts the Witch of the Waste to err... 'waste' Sophie... Sophie was turned into an old lady by the Witch of the Waste...
Due to the Witch's curse Sophie wasn't able to say that she was being turned into an old lady by the Witch she set out on a journey to find the Witch... but halfway through she found Mr. Turnip (you get it when you see it) stuck in a bush... and due to this she was invited to Howl's castle... (there's a whole lot more story behind this so you better get your ass to the cinema and watch it... that is presuming that you are in Oz) And a whole adventure lies before her after this incident...
I am going to tell you as much because I don't want to ruin the rest of the story... it was funny, sad and mysterious at the same time and with this movie, as well as with other Miyazaki's movies you can't help but smile when the mood was happy, you can't help but be demure when Sophie was sad and you can't help but be at the edge of your seats when something terrible happened... and you can't help but almost cry at the end of the movie...
It was a beautiful, witty, melancholic as well as compassionate story telling... Hayao Miyazaki is best at his game... Although I have to say that the ending is somewhat different to the previous movies it was nonetheless a satisfactory one...
All in all I was not regretting it at all! And that was actually my first ever anime screening in a cinema... which I thought was rather fabulous for a first time anime-cinematic (or shall I say Animatic) experience...
So if you like anime and you haven't seen it be sure to not miss it on the big screen if you can... though I have to say that the movie was quite long though... it's about 2 hours in total... which is the record for me... hmm... maybe not...
But that is all for Howl's Moving Castle...

Toilet...
So much for bidding adieu on the previous post =_=' OK... I've decided to do another one because I thought that it is almost 10 pm and there is nothing good on TV yet alone anything to watch either way... ok... that doesn't make sense... Right now I have nothing to do which is another understatement... the truth is that I still have my fonts, the Grumpy Design essay, an online manifesto to do and last but certainly my most hated one the design on Playing Cards... *sigh I know that it doesn't sound much but if you haven't known about this yet as almost all of you know I don't have end of term exams... If you are going to say "lucky bastard" don't even think of doing so... This means that I have a lot to do before the holiday comes... It might be good... the prospect of having the holidays early but it is CERTAINLY not to my liking...
See the thing is the faculty can actually extend the term if they want to but they didn't do you know why? Because they will receive the same wage either way... now this is a more appropriate part to say "lucky bastards" :P
Anyways... got a little sidetracked back there... more to the point is that our house is sorta been 'renovated' ok first... we got an ugly and hardly used backyard toilet that looks old and disgusting and funnily enough have a template with the word 'office' written on top of the door... hehehe... quite funny... and since most of us in the household just refuse to use it... (although my aunty still use it if she needs to) and the main problem now is that we have about 5 or 6 people in the house and the problem... we only have one bathroom... and we have 2 kids running around the house that at least one have more priority to go to the toilet more often :P and as luck would have it my aunty has decided to remove the old backyard toilet and replace it with a much more err 'luxurious' one that is compared to the old one... which is a great concept... just a bit thrown off by the fact that it is OUTSIDE...
A little later on I found out that the toilet inside would also get a make-over this is already planned by my aunty though... and I thought "about time" because it is soo small inside that tiny toilet and as tiny as it may be there is a huge bathtub that makes the whole space deficiency... There was hardly any room to move... and to make matters worse the bathroom is completely for western people to accomodate them... because the goddamn mirror is so high we have to tip toe to look at our face...
So the make-over of the backyard one is already completed and now the inside one is the particular problem... so the last 2 days (yes just this week) the whole toilet is demolished until only old debris are left... what a sight... the dust... the old bathtub reduced into pieces... the old wash basin... it's all outside now... well.. except the bathtub, I have no idea where it has gone now... the thought of the old bathroom gone is pretty satisfying but the whole difficulty is definitely coming clear...
I found myself one night needing to go to the toilet urgently and it is outside... so everything was ok except for one thing... it was raining... luckily though the rain started before I get into the toilet and so I quickly whisk an umbrella imagine if I was in the toilet and then it started raining... that certainly won't be funny... it would be horrifying... and the thing that I hate about an outside toilet is the bugs that just seem to hover around the backyard... fortunately I haven't found any creepy crawlers just yet but I suspect in the future it would definitely be there whether I like it or not... so now all I really have to do is wait until the toilet's finished... and hopefully it would be more functional than before... although the space is still small I guess now there would be more room...
Alrighty... I think I have been rambling for too long... *sigh I really need to get to my fonts but seriously this is such a tedious task and I cannot leave this till the last minute coz it just won't do... trust me... we have to make a 20 page journal about the developments etc... *sigh... shucks...
Alrighty I can't really promise that this would be the last post of the day coz as you can see I am still writing... hmm... gotta get my priorities straight I guess... ok then until next time auf wiedersehen...

Animania Sunday...
This is what I have been waiting for... After the excitement of Saturday night I was pumped up to go to the Sunday's one because I know that it will be different and bigger and BETTER!! We met yet again at Ashfield but this time with M-ina's friend B (umm... I'm not quite sure whether I should really reveal the names or not... so I guess I shall stick to B) We went to Town Hall expecting a big crowd as yesterday's was and we went early this time to avoid the 'crowd' we arrived about 30 minutes early and to our disappointment there was hardly half the people who went on the day before... but there are still some people who did do cosplay the day before... but I guess that's mostly because they purchased the 2 days pre-rego... It wasn't disappointing as such because we get to see a lot more without the place being overcrowded with people... guess that was just me and my disappointment... but honestly though... when we went the day before we cannot sustain our excitement and with the amount of people particularly on the vendors area we were profusely excited about the whole idea of buying things from these stalls... but I guess in the end we were ok... but I guess the whole over excitement has died down quite a bit...
And for your information... I did buy a cosplay hat of the pig from Peacemaker Kurogane... and he is soo cute... compared to the cosplay hat of some creature from Excel Saga... maybe I'm just being biased because I have never seen Excel Saga before... but I guess that's me ^--^ But all in all a very pleasing day... although mood was a bit down in some areas I can't help but being lifted again through this one incident that has been repeatedly told so many times by me that I think it has lost its charm...
Me, M-ina, B and B's friends are all looking at the pencilboards at one particular vendor... we were just tossing and turning every pencilboards and with that particularly tedious task (since we did see it the day before) we were just looking around (maybe that's just me...) But suddenly someone said loudly behind me (this might not be the exact words but you get the jiff...) "HEY LOOK can we get a picture with her?!?" Naturally for someone to have somebody said that out loud you automatically turn to look behind you and no sooner than turning my head I was being turned completely by these people in their cosplay costumes!!! IMAGINE MY SURPRISE!!! And then this guy or girl... hmm... can't be sure it happened so bloody fast... said "can we get a picture with you?!?" I was still half shocked half thinking "what the hell?!?" When I was surrounded by these people in their costumes (mostly form Final Fantasy though hehehe just some editor's note :P) I'm not quite sure but I think I gave the picture some uncertain look... and then we took another picture and then they were gone "thanks for the picture" "no problem" (with a slightly dazed look) OMG it was so random and so unexpected that that became the highlight of the day! Me and all the others are just starring point blank at nothing and then just... shocked... that was funny though... me and M-ina laughed so much after that... hahaha and I also point out to her that I didn't even wear the cosplay hat and they were still taking a picture... how funny... and funnilly enough Sue asked me (after I told her) what I was wearing and I said a tee and jeans! My gosh... that was funny...
Alright besides the point... we took another look at the cosplay for sunday and thought that they were as good as yesterday's one but I cannot be sure because we left halfway through the cosplay on Saturday but we were glad that we didn't miss that FF Tribute...
Alrighty that was all for Sunday I think... Oh... one more funny thing... WARNING: IF YOU PLAY FINAL FANTASY PS2 GAMES ALL THE TIME YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THIS BUT IF YOU DON'T YOU MAY READ ON AND BE COMPLETELY CONFUSED BY THE WHOLE STORY... (But I definitely will tell some parts that are relevant or worth knowing...)
The cosplay was nearing an end and we were getting rather dumbfounded by some of the efforts being put and also some of the acts that they did... but this one act is probably funny to gamers... but maybe excessively acted on stage but I can't be sure...
Cloud, Lucifer and Cid got on stage and strut their stuff ^--^ and then went upstage to get a seat and then the next one is Sephiroth... then the next thing we know (I think they were not in a group and they don't know each other...) Cloud went downstairs and "pick-a-fight" with Sephiroth... naturally because the goddamn sword is too big and heavy (maybe...) Cloud lost and Sephiroth live to see the day... and then Cid went downstairs and got these feathers and then said "Phoenix Down" THE WHOLE CROWD WAS LAUGHING and being me the rather delayed person didn't catch the humour until 5 seconds after that and I started to laugh so hard even though people are already getting over it... (but it was barely audible though Marina is still looking at me... hehehe) That was funny because in the game if one of your characters died in a battle what you can do is assign the friend to cast Phoenix Down which is something to bring them back to life... which was in this case VERY FUNNY!! You have to see it for yourselves though me talking about it really doesn't make it THAT funny...
Yes... so that was probably all the highlights of the day... although I kinda regretted not going to Ichiban Boshi with M-ina and her friends coz I have a lot of work to do for uni... *sigh...
Anyways... I'll leave with you again with pictures from the day...
(left) These are the emcees of the cosplay one dude from the 20s and a saint seiya...
(right) The crowd of day 2
(left) These two (as Lucifer, right, and his wife... I think...) are some of the few who took a photo with me... such strange people...
(right) We took a photo of err... our arms showing the stamps ^--^
(left) This is the Totoro that we saw on the day before... it was left at some part of the event that no one would enter and quite truthfully if we have known that either the place or the big costume itself is that stinky we wouldn't go near it... we took a photo and ran for our lives because the place was soo smelly...
(right) This is the photo with the whole cosplay of the day... it was fun... really... but unfortunately my d-cam is nearing its end so I quickly took a photo whilst we were seating but I guess I could have made more effort by lifting my bum from the chair and go up near the stage and take photos but... I was too lazy and we had to go elsewhere anyways...
(left) This was the vendors section... wasn't partucularly exciting when you see it in this picture but on the Saturday it was full-packed with human bodies...
(right) I thought this guy's costume and pesona is sorta like Roy from FMA (I think...) which is amazing... I could see the resemblance... and thought the costume was well done too... (I hope none of the people mind me putting their pics in this blog... no one really hits this blog anyways except for occasional ones... :P)
(left) This was one of the guy that is creepy and really get into character... I mean REALLY got into character... you should have seen it... it was funny and disturbing...
(right) This was another creepy one... The guy is supposedly the guy from FLCL whilst the girl is from the ring... and I have a knack that the guy is from yesterday's one when he dressed up as the doll... hmm... scary....
OK... I think that is all for today... whilst it maybe fun to look at and probably didn't take that long to construct... it actually does... and so until next time I have to bid adieu...

please be patient...
alright... I know that I have a lot to go through and ain't gonna do it in one day even though I know in my heart that I would be able to pull this off if I just sit in front of the screen in one full day without going to the toilet as such... back to the point... there are a lot of things to talk about either I haven't talked about it beforehand because I have forgotten... or otherwise I was hold off by creepy assignments and can't get rid of it unless I finish it off.. which is really an overstatement because it is impossible to finish any of my assignments... too many too much... also there are quite a lot of changes that I have to attain in my daily life thus kinda preventing me from this blog... which is again an overstatement but in the end I hope you would understand...
I'll just give you a list of what I need to put in this blog and thus show you what would be coming in the future blogs:
- Animania Sunday (I know that maybe I'm being mean for that particular day but let me just tell you that something hilarious happened and funny... maybe it's just me who is saying that it IS funny but I'll just let you be the judge...)
- Howl's Moving Castle (watch out for the review... am not going to say much at this stage but hopefully I get to watch the dubbed version too coz Miyazaki thought it was good... btw... I watched the subbed version if you haven't notice...)
- Renovation of the toilet... (such a big hassle)
- Ghost in the Shell (the movie)
- Ghost in the Shell: Innocence (another movie)
- and the outing associated with the Innocence movie... very funny...
Anyways... that is the list that I can think off at this moment... so I guess you might need to wait a while I know that I probably ruined the surprise element of the whole spontaneous blog thing but let me assure you you have no idea of what it is... well... some of them anyways... but I have to say that those are the summaries and full stories are coming... but to tell you the truth the list actually serves a much more of remembering service... I am terrible at memorising anything and have quite a short memory span as well as short attention span... so if you see me gazing at completely nothing just nudge me really hard... cya

You want to know what happened? Alright you got it!
Alright... the day started with me nearly missing out the train and ended up with us catching the all stops hahaha... anyways... besides all that point that I just made... I was a bit disappointed at the amount of delaying and unorganised events such as the Iron Artist event coz I was looking forward to it but in the end it was about half an hour late -__-‘ which was a bit disappointing but in the end... it wasn't worth the wait... although it was interesting I thought that there were so little happening and quite truthfully tends to be quite tedious and boring... and the emcees kept trying to cheer us up but in the end I think they were kinda ruining the artists concentrations...
In the Iron Artist event there was the challengers and the Iron Artists sides... each group contains three artists and they all compete... The competition is to make a story and intertwine two characters from different anime and that time the theme was to make a story with Cloud and Pikachu... In the beginning we didn't know what the heck we were looking at because not only because of the lousy camera work (ok... that was a bit harsh but the camera guy really did try) In the end we get to see the finished artwork and then we thought... oohh... now that makes sense... ok... that was a bit unclear... but the thing is I thought that the challengers' concepts were pretty ordinary except for one... whilst the irons artists all have different concepts and differents approaches which were amazing especially this one Iron Artist that I thought deserved the prize... this guy made a manga concept where in the first box we have a long shot of Cloud that is not viewable and then the second panel shows Cloud sort of gently holding someone and we are sorta imagining that it was Aerith, Cloud's girlfried... but then all realities were shattered... Aerith has the face of Pikachu!! Hahaha that was funny actually I wish I have taken a photo of that but I can't stop laughing... but in the end the 'other' crowd picked this EMO type one... so... a bit disappointed but in the end it was not my decision after all...
I thought the emcees were quite weird especially the guy with the glasses and funnily enough both emcees have long ponytail but one wears glasses... Anyways... I know I'm blabbing on but one thing for sure... you cannot go there with an empty pocket... it is very impossible to go there and not spend anything on... anything... whatever it may be... I can't afford to have anything anymore so I'm trying to resist the temptation of actually buying other things anymore... which was a bit disappointing coz there are a lot more things that I wish I could buy without my purse being dry and thin beyond recognition (and fyi I don't have that much money and I try to spend carefully untiL I get to Animania and now when I think of it I thought that now I need to save a hell lot more when I want to come the next time...)
OK... once again I am blabbing... Oh... just another thing the cosplays were COOL! ^--^ ESPECIALLY this special tribute to Final Fantasy where there were the main guy and girl characters from the Final Fantasy series... there was one from FF VII, FF VIII, FF IX, FF X, FF X-2 and this other one that I have no idea where it came from... but it was absolutely AMAZING!! Cos they dance to this song from FF VIII where Squall and Rinoa dance in the Academy... and the whole dance sequence was actually VERY carefully coreograph to mimick exactly the same dance sequence as the one from FF VIII ^--^KAWAII!!! It was SOOO COOL!! I am not kidding you AT ALL!! It was the best thing that I have ever seen *sigh... maybe I'm just dreaming but honestly I wished I have a video camera and taped it... oh... how I wish... But enough of that I am so just going to daydream about that a lot if I don't stop now... One thing for sure is that when you go there you better bring a lot of money and also embrace yourself for what's coming... coz when you go to the vendors site there would be a lot of people there... and am not kidding when I said you actually need to force yourself forward to get a glimpse... but there wasn't a lot of people when the cospaly started... so that was cool... *sigh... I still can't get over that Final Fantasy Tribute =_=
ok... I better stop now and go to sleep... and btw... this blog is done on Sunday after I sorta reword and redo quite a bit... since Blogger stuffed the previous attempt up =_= ok... I'll tell you all about the Sunday one or the today's one a bit later... coz I think I have a bit of work to do... and hopefully I get a chance to do my work as well as the blog coz I tend to forget about details of that day unless I quickly write it down... or try to remember really hard about what happened... alrighty I think I better go now... see ya all later!
As a last thing... these are the photos that I took and hopefully you would be able to see em...

PS. just as a last thing the whole blog has got more things coming... I haven't actually talked a lot about the Saturday one on this one and I still haven't talked about the Sunday one!! ARRGGHH!! Well... if you're thinking that's not a lot of photos you are mistaken I just can't be bothered with resizing it and then paste it onto the blog so those are just the few that I wanted to put in... there are a lot more and you should wait... err... that is if I have any time to publish anything in such a short amount of time... but whichever way you want to see it the whole day was MARVELLOUS!!!

ANIMANIA TODAY!!! o.O I'm SO EXCITED!!! ^--^ *jumping with joy And you might be wondering why I'm writing this in the early morning... As soon as I get out of bed I went to have a shower and do you know how much effort I made just trying to get out of bed so early in the morning?!?~ btw I woke up at about 6~ish... it's kinda hard to tell coz I slightly dozed back to sleep for like 5 millisecond and then all my mind could do was telling my whole body to "get off the goddamn bed!" It's really hard you know... I'm not so used with the 6 o'clock ritual anymore since highschool... (omg we're THAT old?!?) Anyways... after I went to have a shower I abused my authority over my cousin's 5-year-old daughter (nah kidding... she's a bit boneheaded as other children are -__- don't think that I'm just pointing on her) because I wanted to see the weather on Sunrise... THEN it just occured to me whilst punching the buttons on the remote and wondering to myself "what the hell..." until it occured to me that TODAY IS SATURDAY! No wonder there are a lot of cartoons everywhere I looked... and I was a bit disappointed coz I was looking forward to seeing the news although I don't normally coz I usually vary my wake-up time ^--^
Anyways... that is all for today err this morning and so I think I better pack things up and organise myself...

AARGGHH!! I cannot believe this!! I am officially has been addicted by another different genre of animes! It means that it is still related to animes just not TV series or movies... I can't believe this...OK. First. There's Ragnarok Online... I'm currently doing the 40 hours free trial and not the least bit happy... not only do I not know what to do, I'm just plain stuck... mainly I have no purpose and just walk around just killing small imbecile monsters trying to increase my level but then when I reached the appropriate Job Level to be a Mage suddenly I was confronted back by the fact that I haven't got the basic skills that I need! And now I do not know what to do and quite embarassingly stuck and for your information this is my first attempt EVER at having a go at an internet game... And I don't think I want to go back doing it again... coz truthfully I have no idea what I'm doing as well as I have to pay after the 40 hours trial... so I want to make the most out of the 40 hours trial... *sigh --_-- alright alright besides that point I really have been addicted to games...
And since my couz went back to Indo he bought my OTHER couz who is a Playstation addict an improved version of the earlier PS2 which is still a PS2 but it is much smaller and cute ^--^ I know that that might sound ridiculous and I dare say it is... but the sheer scale of the newer peewee version is HEAPS smaller than the previous release of Playstation 2... which is amazing! AND now I can play Final Fantasy X-2 on that PS2!! YAY!! ok... for your information the PS2 is at that couz's house so I went to visit on Friday and played FF X-2 and became addicted to it...Alright in terms of storyline I prefer the former which is Final Fantasy X, and you might be wondering at the moment why I said it coz I've just started on FF X-2 and yet I already voice my opinion in which is the better game... it's mainly because my bro already finished playing it and he shwoed me the err... saved storyline... so basically the chopped up movie... just giving you the rundown FF X-2 is the sequel to FF X which has a far better storyline than FF X-2...
But in terms of battle system... by golly I thought that FF X-2 has a better much more challenging battle system >..<... it is not boring and rigid but you actually have to make your fingers quick and agile... alright... I know that I'm probably the gamer in our group so just ignore me --_--' Anyways... I thought FF X-2 might have been aimed at girls in particular coz I thought that there are missions that are fun and quite easy to do really... they are definitely fun to do but right now I am stuck to in terms of where to go for the main storyline... well... I have to say that so far's so good but I have no idea of where to go and need to go back to my couz's place if I want to play some more of which evidently I am not going to be able to do because the break is now over o_O I know I know... such a shame... but alas the term one week break is really implying "you get the week off to work your butt off!" hahaha... *sigh the story of my life...
alright then... adios amigos... (note: I am not mexican... and am not American either... I'm just trying other err... 'methods' of saying see ya later alligater... ok... that's definitely American... hmmm... urgh you know what I mean... I'm not making sense --_--)

"so long and thanks for all the fish..."
Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy... ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!! This is such a good movie that you shouldn't miss AT ALL!! HAHA just thinking about the dolphins makes me want to laugh... hahaha... sorry... I know that this might sound very weird but in the movie Earth has been destroyed by the Vogons...The story begins with Arthur Dent a normal boring middle-aged British bloke ^--^ I know... that sounds funny... whose house was about to be destroyed for a highway bypass... he refuses of course but then his friend, Ford Prefect who is supposedly an alien impersonating a human tells him that Earth would be destroyed in 10 minutes... that's how the story starts...
So basically they became hitchikers... and through some unexplainable coincidence (mind you there was a story before this but I don't want to ruin it) they got hitchiked by an err... ship owned and operated by the President of the Galaxy as well as kidnapped the President himself... (it is a very complicated matter...) And so what happened is that the ship is being chased everywhere and they supposedly went in search for the ultimate question... which brings me to another subplot...
I have to say that there are so many subplots in this movie... but they are carefully intertwined and flow very well... I was rather surprised but I love this movie...
I don't really know what the main point in the movie really is because I thought in the beginning when I watch the trailer it would be about the book itself but indeed it revolved around 4 people plus an android...
Ok... that sound so random I don't know what I'm talking about anymore...
Let me just say one thing though I absolutely adore Marvin, the manically depressed android... hehehe he is soo funny... especially one of his remark when Arthur and Marvin was left alone, accidentally...
Arthur: Can you think of any idea?
Marvin: I can think of a million ideas, but they all end in a certain death.
HAHAHAHA that was marvellous... and I think he was supposedly programed to have human emotions... but I have no idea how he became manically depressed...
Great casts I thought they fit the part very well... casts include: Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent, Alan Rickman as the voice of Marvin (great work too by Warwick Davies dressed as Marvin), Mos Def as Ford Prefect, John Malkovich is in it too as Humma Kavula, there's also Sam Rockwell as Zaphod Beeblebrox... oh my... there's quite a lot of quirky characters in this movie that makes it so hilarious and quite deep actually...
Alright, alright. Before I ruin anymore... I'm not going to tell you anymore about it but you really have to watch it I thought it was HILARIOUS!! (hmm... I think I better check how many times I have used that word...) But all in all I thought it was a great movie... especially the Vogons (how politically correct are they?)
ps. you are probably seeing a number 42 and wondering what the heck it is about? Well... you will understand once you watch the movie... interesting... If you already know... What do you think about it? And is it appropriate? Coz I have no idea what it means...
"you can shine no matter what you're made of"
A promising slogan for a big coorporation... but the truth only floats on the surface...
Robots is a very promising 3D animation that I have ever watched. It is entertaining, a good way to reminisce childhood and embrace dreams. This is sort of the classic almost cliched modern adventure that is kinda hard to find with everybody trying to be the most original. It was very nice to have something this hilarious although cliched type of comedy. I mean... it has fabulous casts and I thought the storyline is a bit rags to riches but it was splendidly laid out... although... I thought the whole thing was a bit hurried... maybe that was just me but that was the impression I got when I was watching it... some of the scenes jumped to a quite certain length that they don't flow very well... but nonetheless it was fun to watch...
The title of this blog is really the slogan Bigweld used for his company in the movie. In this movie Rodney Copperbottom was the main protagonist, he basically went to Robot City in pursuit of his dream, to be an inventor. In the city he found out that old outmode robots are being disposed of and Ratchet the new boss of Bigweld Inc is trying to make everyone buy the new upgrade with the (urgh...) bad slogan: "why be you, when you can be new..." Basically robots particularly in Robot City are having a crisis and Rodney is pretty handy with the tools... so he saved the day...
I know that that sounds rather boring but the adventures that Rodney goes through is somewhat a delight to the eyes... not only the plethora of games that we used to play when we were kids but also the amount of 3D detailings that have been used is just tremendous... It just blew me away... something that you really should watch out for is the scene where Rodney just came to the City and accidently met Fender when he was travelling at the err... public transport... it was so fun to watch I can't stop laughing throughout the whole scene ^--^...
Also something that you should really watch out for is the robot that breakdance to the song Right Thurr (is that how you spell it? I don't really care...) HE WAS HILARIOUS!! And also something that you should watch out for is the innocence of the movie... especially in the matter of answering to kids about the question "where do babies come from..." It is just innocently cute and imaginative... hahaha especially the reference to "12 hours of labour" HAHAHA hilarious...
Ok... I realised that I might have said some things a bit too much but I have to assure you that you would not be disappointed with the movie... although I have to say that it is somewhat full of cliches it is definitely a fun family movie that you should watch when you want a light entertainment...
Alrighty that is all for Robots... Oh... just in case you are not interested I thought the cast and crew was famous so I thought of borrowing this movie ^--^ Ewan McGregor, Robin Williams, Greg Kinnear, Mel Brooks, Amanda Bynes (I know that she is not THAT big but I know her don't you?), Halle Berry, Drew Carey and a heck lot more people who did cameos... So just to prove that it is not boring just look at the list of actors...
