No need to worry about the cancer thing anymore. All in the past and I'm doing great.
Absolutely nothing interesting has happened to me while I was away. Which was why I haven't been posting here. :/ I've been going out a lot more now and I've been putting off LJ for a while now.
So a reminder for myself;
Update Wii # so people can access your new Wii system and play SSBB or what not.
Do your homework D:
Buy presents.
...Go over Dan's house and beat that damn game already.
I absolutely love this AMV. BTW I want to clarify something. I'm not into the RECENT anime that's been coming out. Grant it that SOME recent shows were absolutely fantastic, like Gurren Lagann, Lucky Star, Naruto Shippuuden etc; most of the animes just don't seem to interest me. So occassionally I'll find one recent anime and start rambling on about it but for now... I'll stick with whatever.
I just realized that there's a lot of people reading my LJ that I don't like. Which is why I'm again going to put this in a Friends only blog now. So this will be my last post to the public.
J00 wanna be my friend? For those with LJ's then comment, and you shall enter my LIST! For those who don't, I suggest you make an LJ and comment. Jah.
Anyways, that's it for now. Laaater.

A lot has happened to me recently but seeing how there's a couple of people laughing at my LJ, I'm going to keep it concise.
I moved out of my Mom's house.
I'm heading to University soon and eventually will live in an apartment.
Trying to get with this girl but it's hard at the moment; especially since she may have a gf.
The internets is distracting. D:
Not only that but I'm in desperate need for that new Ipod Touch! :D
For all you TPF'ers: PISS OFF!
P.S. A big happy birthday to my friend that I haven't chatted with in a while. :] Happy birthday Jessers.
P.S.S. I'm not Emo.

| I'm not like I used to be |
[23 Aug 2007|08:05pm] |
I’m not how I used to be.
During the time I was away from the computer, I began to speculate on why I felt so withdrawn from all my recent interests, and continued to contemplate on the reason why I have felt so disoriented on the subject.
Was it depression? Could I have shamed my own social integration by descending into the reservoirs of being labeled as, what people call an emo? An individual who deprives himself of his own complacency only to reap diligence to those around him/her? It may be an obscure yet an influential theory but I have yet to perceive any other rationalization that would lead me to become that said emo. I seem perfectly imbedded with my feelings and content with myself, and I have no animosity with the people that I converse with, which is why I claim this conjecture to be false.
Can it be that I am impatient? A very likely possibility!
Ah, but what would be the source of my impetuosity towards anime?
Well my friends, I merely say that Anime is not like it used to be. Antecedently when I was scarcely converting to “otaku-hood”, the state of reminisce of constantly indulging my life into the bowels of anime kept me in a trance full of serenity. I recall staring on my computer/T.V. Screen to see the latest animes such as; Fullmetal Alchemist, Azumanga Daioh, Eureka Seven, and a broader variety of anime and manga that I have obsessed over.
But as time progressed, the ever so captivating vogue started to befall into a jaded state full of tediousness and fatigue. Maybe it was the lack of conceptions, the ever so blatant storylines that constantly casts me away from watching anime. Or maybe it IS my impatience. Nevertheless, I would rather watch Fullmetal Alchemist over Gurren Lagann, Devil May Cry and other dull shows. Sigh.
I just find the synopsis of said anime deficient compared to previous animes. It’s strenuous to see these animes progress, so I contemplate and begin fast-forwarding the animes only for the interesting parts (which I rarely find).
It may be that I have no time for Anime anymore but whether that is the case, it seems that Anime will always have time for me. Oh well. I may not be into anime as I used to be but I am still into it. :3
Whew, that felt good.
Anybody willing to share any thoughts?

| Coming home |
[23 Aug 2007|05:35pm] |
For starters, one of my teachers told me that most journalists like keeping blogs, and at least constantly posting to advance their vocabulary. So, I'm back. Yep, I decided to become a Journalist major. I think I'm sticking to this now.
The job I took up was not really a job but more like an internship. I have something to show you guys but it's not ready yet. :3
The blog thing was Myspace T_T and I'm not a myspace guy so blah.
The thing about New York has been post-poned and it was actually one of those "Study-a-broad programs". I decided to instead take the Paris, France trip around 2010 which I will save up money for.
Ok so I'll be posting differently from now on.
If you still want to stay on my friends list then comment, if not then I'll completely erase my friends list and starting all over. :3

| Anime Expo 07!!!!!!!! ...Oh no. |
[01 Jul 2007|10:05pm] |
It is astonishing how in the commencement of a day can guide me toward to an unanticipated downfall of one truly cherished fandom, a fandom that I fundamentally pursued for the last 5 years of my life. That’s right; I’m talking about the glorious fandom called Anime. I believe I comprehended the whole ideal on anime and my lack of interest toward the fandom when I embarked on the journey to Anime Expo which took place earlier today.
Like mentioned on my previous post, I did not get any sleep at all. Around 5-ish I made the decisive action to get dressed and look my best. Around 6, I drove to my father’s house to pick up a few supplies we needed. Around 7-ish, I packed my things and we ventured toward Anime Expo.
It begins. We waited in line for a couple hours, until finally being able to purchase the registration tickets and once again waited in another line just to enter the exhibit hall. I must say that I think I spent most of the time waiting in lines rather than examining all the booths and cosplayers. The heat was not that much of a bother though.
We were finally admitted to the exhibit halls, and I departed from my company and prowled after my own desires. There was no Viz or Tokyopop booth so I was more frustrated than I was before.
After a monotonous peregrination to the numerous booths situated inside the hall, I soon found myself getting rather jaded by the banausic shows that the anime distributors were screening.
The only thing I purchased in the hall was the Welcome to NHK Vol. 4 manga which I could just download via the internet. I found myself questioning my own motives, and why I would purchase something I could just get for free of charge. This right here will direct me to another topic that will be focused on in the next post.
Then it came time for the panels. Today both the FUNimation and Bandai panels inaugurated and I sat on the second row. Animes were licensed, DVD’s were announced and I have yet to gain any interest in the whole matter. Hell, even animes such as Love Hina should have glistened and should have encouraged me to actually smile but it was not able to succeed. Probably the reason for that is because I already have the whole series on DVD thanks to Bandai, the last thing I want to do is spend money on the same anime that I already obtain in my collection. The panels failed to impress me.
Cosplayers did not astound me, booths did not satisfy my needs, thus concluding this year’s whole expo experiences a complete dull and utter failure.
I’m not done yet. Expect another post.

| Problem |
[01 Jul 2007|05:32am] |
I decided to sleep very early at 12 am, doing this will enable me to wake up very early so I can over prepare myself for Anime Expo.
Problem? Well, seeing how I AM a night owl and usually I sleep around 5 am; my plan for waking up early has failed because...
I CANT FUCKING SLEEP.
I spent nearly 5 hours trying to get some rest, but was unable to. Was it because of the heat? Well I tried to keep myself cool by nearly stripping myself from every clothe in my body, which is now leaving me almost naked. Was it because of the excitement? Well usually it would go away after 5 fucking hours.
Which leaves me in this harsh predicament. I will have to journey to Anime Expo WITHOUT sleeping at all.
PREPARE FOR BATTLE ANIME EXPO!

| WTF!? Haruhi Suzumiya is coming WHERE!? |
[30 Jun 2007|11:44pm] |
That's right, Haruhi Suzumiya fans and SOS brigaders everywhere can now expect a new upcoming Nintendo Wii game based on the popular anime; The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
There currently is NO release date, nor what the genre of this game would be but I'm guessing it'll be one of those Romantic Sims RPG game but only time will tell.

Expect the unexpected :3
That and I just found out I'll be going to Anime Expo TOMORROW! Yosh! Getting my ass ready baby!

| Anime Expo and Ratatouille |
[30 Jun 2007|04:26am] |
Looks like I will be able to go to Anime Expo. It will either be on Sunday or Monday depending on when my brother gets his glorious well-payed money. Many thanks to him. I'd be obliged to go whenever he wants. I just pray that I don't sleep in on the day he plans on going.
Today was just a serene yet slightly boring day. I just checked out a whole bunch of comics, advanced in my pokemon levels, and decided to check out the new film by Pixar and Disney; Ratatouille.
Known by their CGI Animated films that led to a pedigree of classic children's movies such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo; Pixar and Disney have teamed up once again to create a new film about a rat with a dream to cook that I review as a beautifully mastered motion picture called Ratatouille. I highly recommend this film to everyone! To all my acquaintances who love comics, to all my fellow otakus, and to all my hardcore gamers, and everyone else I missed, I give you a mirthful and compelling film to enjoy! If you treasured Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and the Incredibles then you should DEFINITELY see this movie. I'm being as serious as I can when I tell you that this film may even turn out to be better than Transformers and Live Free and Die Hard! And this is coming from a colossal Die Hard fan who dreamt of one day becoming like Hans Gruber (the first villain in Die Hard portrayed by the infamous Alan Rickman) and played with tons of Transformers toys. Yes it's THAT good. A remarkable 9/10!
...Now go see it! Now!
ATTENTION ALL PEOPLE ON MY F-LIST
Yes I am addressing you guys when I say go see Ratatouille now. I will not curse but I am tremendously serious when I say that I want you all to go see Ratatouille. Do not be so naive and start saying how it's a stupid child's movie, it's actually a good film for adults to go see it as well. So go waaaatch :D

[28 Jun 2007|02:26am] |
I astonishingly hate to admit it but I have not watched the Non-Rated version of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, until now that is.
Jesus christ.
...And yet I still admire the Joker.

| Oi |
[28 Jun 2007|12:55am] |
Pokemon Battle Revolution is not as good as I hoped. Meh, I'm still going to play some more Pokemon Pearl and create my perfect team. Until then... I'll give this game a break.
Job interview tomorrow. Not like I WANT this job badly but a job is a job and I am in desperate need for money. If I DO get this job then the chances of me going to Anime Expo will increase. Wait, then again my brother owes me $100 and he might get paid around that time so I guess I WILL be able to go. Yay! Probably for one day of course. Eh, actually I don't really know. He might not even pay me this week. :/
Oh well.

I let you live in my room for a while now, but this is the last fucking straw.
You get the fuck off of my chair or I'm going to go Batman on your ass! I can't believe I'm actually typing standing up.

| Ultimate X-Men |
[27 Jun 2007|03:59am] |
Is this series worth buying? Does it capture the very essence of what the X-Men series really is? Will it in fact give our new generation readers something to beg more for?
Well, for my candid opinion, my answer would be blatant no. Forlornly, after analyzing issues 1 – 33, I have come to a conclusion that the Ultimate X-Men series is rather dissatisfying and does not do justice for the overall X-Men franchise.
Both the storyline and art are decent, but when you’re writing the first few chapters of the innovative renewal of a series such as X-Men, you would want to expect an extraordinary storyline with jaw dropping art right? Those were my full-fledged expectations yet after reading the first 6 issues; I couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
Maybe my high expectations were the reason why I feel this why, or maybe it was my disconcerting of currently happened in my life but in my honest opinion, I was not at all content with the series.
But why, WHY is it that AFTER issue 33, where the cocky writer Brian Michael Bendis steps in, does this arc actually hooks me in? I tremendously hate to admit it but Bendis is a goddamn brilliant writer.
Damn it all to hell! If I ever become a comic book writer, (and judging by my pursuit in English, I think I’m heading toward that direction), it seems that I’ll need to exceed his talent. Of course, I’ll need to think immensely but that’s a different story.
All I can say is that I will not die a failure. We all have one chance to live so we must live life to its fullest.
Look at me, I’m getting off topic. XD
Like I said before, the Ultimate X-Men series, again in my opinion, is a total let down. I’ll have to say that readers should pass on this series. Ultimate Fantastic Four is a great series to get into, that and Ultimate Spider-man, anything BUT the Ultimate X-Men series.

| Death... |
[27 Jun 2007|02:50am] |
I finally downloaded the last episode of Death Note. I smile at my complete collection of this series. I actually enjoyed the anime ending a whole lot more than the manga ending. Great job madhouse.
Speaking of death, it seems that there was more to the late Chris Benoit's death then I have once believed. It just so happens that Chris Benoit not only committed suicide but has taken his whole family instead. At first I thought he was a great wrestler, but now I question my own belief.
Death is Death, does it matter who administers it? I believe so.

| Pokemon Battle Revolution |
[26 Jun 2007|11:30pm] |
...it's alright. I was expecting... more.
The customization thing is nice though.

| 1408 was freaking brilliant! |
[26 Jun 2007|01:13am] |
1408 might have not been as scary as I hoped to be, but dammit did it give me suspense like never before! Not only that but that was as crazy as Identity! This movie closely resembled that of Konami's smash horror game, Silent Hill 4: The Room. Minus the killing of ghosts and entering of other dimensions via small holes. Again, it didn't scare me once but it was just so damn creepy that almost made me shiver.
There were a few scenes that made me laugh seeing how creepy it was but one scene unexpectedly made me both cry and shiver from the suspense at the same time. It was just so damn sad for John Cusack's character!
John Cusack's acting was superb in this film, it was nearly perfect and kept me believing that it was actually real. Sam Jackson in the other hand, didn't really have enough screen time but there was this one line that he said which made a lot of people laugh.
Fans of Identity, and bigger fans of Silent Hill 4 MUST see this movie. It'll be perfect! So go see it as soon as possible. I give it a 8 out of 10.
By the way, it's rated PG-13 so don't expect blood and guts, just expect scary images. :3
Moving onto a different direction; I forgot to mention that I now have a job interview at Target. On Thursday @ 2pm, I'll be wearing my finest attire, and heading over to target hoping to get a job at the electronics department. We'll see how that goes. Wish me luck!
One last thing, has anyone been watching Animal Planet lately? This one show called Planet Earth is phenominal! I don't know what got me interested, but for some reason, I'm hooked with the subject of zoology and all the animals living in this world today. I recommend everyone to at least watch it once to see the vast beauty this show emits! Not only that but their are a lot of cute animals too! :3
That's it for now. This week is actually going to be a busy one for me. Tomorrow, Pokemon Battle Revolution comes out and looks like I'll be playing that game non stop. On Wednesday, it's comic book / manga day when I plan on wasting nearly 40 bucks! Thursday is my job interview and Friday looks like my friend wants to take me to a "suprise" place, which is leaving me very curious. This weekend I'll be just helping my dad paint the remainder of the house and that'll be my week.
Er, one LAST thing. My brother wants to go see Ratatouille, it's very unexpected from him and he desperately wants me to go with him. :/ I'll go but, since when was he into disney movies again? Well, it DOES look promising, hopefully it won't disappoint me. Anyways that's it for now, later guys!
[edit]
This is without a shout of a doubt the most sexiest cover I have ever seen. Talk about a major turn on. 
That and I'm going to call it quits for ONE of the forums I've been addicted to. Sorry TP, but I have more important things to do, and you have won by wasting my life away. Besides it was imminent! It was bound to happen sooner or later. And I think I've said my good byes before and I don't think people take me seriously so, *bows* I might as well say it here where it matters. It's been fun.
And with that I'll call it a night. I'll be back tomorrow to review Pokemon Battle Revolution.
Reminder for me: Make the new mood set with the onion emotes. Special thanks to Kristen-san for giving me the website!

| The days just keep getting better and better |
[25 Jun 2007|10:00pm] |
Oh man. Right when I started typing the sentence under this, I found out that Chrid Benoit is dead. Now for those who don't know, Chris Benoit was a great wrestler and I thought he was just awesome. Back in my younger days, I idolized him and thought he was the best wrestler in WWE / WCW. It's sad to hear people like him die but, I guess it's life. People die and all we can do is feel sorrow. I think I would be more emotional if I was still into wrestling but still he will be missed. Now back to topic.
Today I just got back from the Long Beach Aquarium and I had a fantastic time looking at all the fish, sharks, sea otters, seals and sea lions. I was really hoping to look at some penguins (and some whales though I knew there wasn't going to be any there), but sadly they didn't have any. OMG, the sea otters were so cute!! It's like I want to buy a small aquarium and buy one baby sea otter and just have fun with it all day.
The sharks weren't as big as I hoped but I swear I saw this one fish that was nearly the fattest fish in the whole aquarium! When the scuba person who cleaned the tank went in, the fat fish nearly attacked him! It was hilarious and a bit scary but the scuba guy just shooed him away.
Overall I had a great time and now I just feel like buying Zoo Tycoon: Marina Mania 2 game.
Games
Speaking of games, I just got a call from Gamestop saying that Pokemon Battle Revolution for the Nintendo Wii is coming out tomorrow. I'm not really ready to battle just yet since I'm still leveling up my PERFECT team but I'm still going to play using the pokemon I first started with. Yes I expect to get my ass kicked but I just want to know how it will be like.
Anime
Yes! An Oh Edo Rocket torrent has finally came out! Can't wait to see it. There's that and I finally realized that I should have downloaded the MKV files for Romeo X Juliet. They work as perfectly as AVI files. Oi.
Manga
Yotsuba&! Vol. 4 came out a bit earlier than I expected! I bought that as quick as possible once I saw it displayed there! Yotsuba! You always cheer me up when I'm down. I just wonder why there isn't an anime about this cute series! I mean there was one for Azumanga Daioh, why not this one?! Oh well. I'm a bit annoyed how Welcome to Nhk Vol. 3 is still not released yet but I'll get over it.
Comics
Sorry for my late update but yes I have purchased at least 3 trade paper backs and 1 comic.
X-Men First Class Vol. 1 HC - I have yet read but after glancing at a few pages of the art and reading some of the dialogue, I have a feeling that I will not be disappointed.
Justice League of America Vol. 1 HC - The recent JLA I thought was ok. The art is great, the storyline is a bit decent compared to other storylines that took place but overall it was good. I have some complaints though.
Teen Titans Vol. 1: Kids Game SoftCover - It's like Justice League except with kids XD I haven't read this one either. Haven't read it though :/
X-Men: Endangered Species One Shot - LOL!! The conversation between Beast and Multiple Man was hilarious. It's interesting how the mutant species are going extinct! This one shot issue confused me a bit though, why was there a Storm tombstone and a Cable/Cyclops (not sure who) tombstone when clearly they were still alive. Yeh that confused me.
I'm super excited for X-Men #200 now. Gambit comes back and starts kicking ass? Hell yes!
Er g2g. I'll post some more later. Going to see 1408!! Later!
