I'm not MIA!

*drumsrolls*.....Tadaaa! Welcome back. I've been idle for the past few days, well several days, well almost a week or so! Why? Because my lovely PC was infected with the latest Trojan.Peacomm! This sucks. I don't know why would anyone wants to hack...me?! I've been uploading and downloading equally. I even upload as much as 500kbps/s! So what the heck, I'm so generous. And so, I have to back up all my 450GB of anime, manga, musics, OSTs, concerts, PVs, J-drama, and K-drama! A hectic week indeed. I've used up almost 50DVDs, yet it's still not enough! 500GB sound yummy, but when it comes down to virus, heh! A massive headache.

Surprisingly, only Norton is able to detect that particular trojan. I've used AVG, Spybot, HJT, Spyware Doctor, Kaspersky Online Scan, MircoTrend online scan, and none of them found anything! So is Norton is trying to get it at me? False alarm so I'll renew their product? I don't know. I'm just pissed enough to know other software not able to locate when Norton did!

That aside, I was out with Li Yen(yes, after 5 mths!) yesterday. It was fun. We went for Death Note: The Last Name. Ohhhh, I must say, this second part of Death Note is sooo much better than the first part. Lighto-kun is cool(and evil). However, my hero is of course L-kun(Ryuzaki). Though the story line is abit different from the manga ending, but it's still good. L sacrificed himself just to prove that Light is Kira! The hole plot is darn interesting, 2 1/2 hours is indeed long. Lolx. I was restless sitting in the chair in only one position. I shifted my body here and there, there and here, and I think I've disturbed the fello behind me. Lolx.

So that's all for now, I'm out! Don't know when will I be back, as I have yet to backup all of my stuffs. Hahaha. Wish me luck. =p

One more thing, I did not forget. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK! Love you much! Hehehe.

I'm so tired yet I'm still here blogging!

These week is hell tiring. Remember last Tuesday I went out with BS? On Wednesday I stayed home for anime marathon. WHy home? Cuz I woke up feeling sick. The diziness haunting me, the cram is killing me, and have absolutely no appetite, even for sushi! Was supposed to go movie with Burn, but I wasn't in any condition to go out. Then, the next day, went to college to collect some stuff from a friend, and we had lunch with Klaus and Sa ( the anime flock) lolx. Glad to have some anime friends around, but they're all guys! I needa some girl anime friend, but it's okay.

I've finally fixed my Samsung cellphone. Last time I was told it's the display problem that I will needa change it, cost approx RM200. Then I went again yesterday, I was told otherwise. It's the ribbon problem (the wire connecting to the LCD). So I decided to fix it, without asking first how much! FInally they gave me back, and I forked out RM150...just to fix the wire. There goes...my empty pocket. Of ocurse, I didn't went home empty handed. I have got tons of anime to watch. Muahaha, this is really good.

On friday, I was home alone. The weather was bad. There was a downpour in the late noon. Li Yuen message-d me around 3.30pm for a meet up, and I agreed. I got prepared, ready to leave, my mom called asking me to fetch my sister back from her piano lessonat 5pm. Dang! I felt sooo bad cancelling the plan with dear Li Yuen. I'm sorry! Since I've got an hour to kill, I watched Nodame Cantabile! WooHooo, this is reeealy nice. Seriously I love this much better than the live-action. Chiaki, was supposed to go America and become a great conductor, but he stayed back in Japan because he's got height phobia. He's scared of plane, and scared of ship. So he can't go. So pitiful. Then, he met Noda Megumi(Nodame) and he was really into her piano playing. According to him, she has a unique way of playing it thus nice. Then he got a new appointed piano teacher(forgot his name!). Okay, and so this new teacher appointed him to play a pice with Nodame. Chiaki didn't want to in the first place but since the teacher said it's for junior(Nodame), he finally agreed on it. So they began practising everyday. HOwever Nodame always get her notes wrongly. At the end of the day, Once he was at the balcony taking his sip of drink, and saw some brown liquid flowing to his balcony. Immediately he went to the neighbour to complain. It was Nodame behind the door! He was shocked, especially upon entering her house! Without second thought, he cleaned her whole house for her, and even washed her clothes. While cleaning...again he get to listen to Nodame playing. However, to his surprised, within a week, her house is again as messy as ever. And he finally realized that Nodame play through listening to the song, not by looking at notes. And he felt cheated when the teacher told him that the lesson was for him! The pro in piano. Lolx. I'm looking forward for the next episode.

....And today, MY TORRENTS AINT MOVING!!! They're not moving! I'm scared, I really am because I have tons tons of anime and j-drama to download. Urghz, I'm reaaaaly pissed. What the hell these TMNET peeps are doing? Can't they do betta? That aside, I woke at 9am! Get ready, went to pick Burn up and we went to Yaw's place for some short film shooting, and my mom and sis starred in it. Ahahaha. My sis played the role of a kid who's paralyze yet optimistic, while my mom played the Nanny. It was hard getting her to do the actions cuz most of the time she was stiffed, plus the numbers of eyes eyeing her. Oh well, but she get to eat free sushi(me too) and she's got chocolates(i don't). The day was long, as everyone was ready to pack home, I'm already restless sitting down. Of course, the lazy me did not help pack up. *blush* Then...downpour! A heavy one! I wasn't that all soaked, but Burn was. Pitiful him. My mom and sis were soaked to. Weird that I'm not. Hahaha. End of my day....

A day out with BS

Today was tiring. I was wake by BS at 10a.m.! Yeshh, that also also is after the thrid time she called! Kena marah wei! Yeh, so I woke up get ready, get my keys and hop in the car, and there I go to Mid-V. Got a parking as I reached the parking lot! Lucky. So we met in front of MPH. Why MPH? Uhm...cuz that's the only place I'm familiar with. We walked around, took tons of pics(posers) *hey BS...I want the pics!* We then went for movie, The Return, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. It's uhm...a dissapointing movie. Later, went to Starbucks to get some hot drink cuz we're so cold as I wore short sleeve T-shirt! I was wondering how Starbucks got their name? They rip off every penny from me! That's how the name comes I guess.

I then dropped her at Pudu, and flew home then. The moment I stepped on my door, I come checking my downloads*such a freak* WoooHooo, all complete except for Rurouni Kenshin. I was told it has a very dissapointing ending. I only watch the first half...yet to watch the other half. I'm affraid cuz I'm a sucker for bad/hanging ending.

I was cleaning my room the other day. Oh gosh, some of my comics turned yellow!! Immediately I came online to check ways to prevent this from getting too serious. None can be found. Too fras, I ripped off all the wrapper and re-wrap it again. This time I kept it wrap in a big plastic bad and stored in back in my box. Now I realized, after cleaning, I have tons TONS of comics! I could even open a bookstore to rent it! Lol. Yehh, then I found back my long lost comic, Love Get You by Rie Takada. Wosh, it's hidden with the Eiji Psychometer comics. I then clean the top of my boxes, it's too dusty. I opened it to have alook, hey my Hot Gimmick manga there. So I slacked off and read my manga. Time flies. It's 3p.m. then. Gosh, and my room is sooo messy. I kept the manga, and jump to another, Kare First Love. Again read read sampai terlupa masa. Sheesh. Finally I'm resolute(is that even such word) enough to clean my room.

I chatted with Chee Hui and he gave me some guidelines how to keep comics from turning yellow. Seems like it's some kind of bacteria. So below are the tips:
  • No wrapping it(as in the plastic you used to wrap book)
  • Don't touch it with wet hands
  • Don't eat and read
  • Keep it away from dust
  • Store it in a box, with uhm those little white balls where you put in wardrobe.
  • Check it regularly.
Tips courtesy of Chee Hui.

So yesterday I gallivant in 1U, walk around, look around, and at last gotten myself something to take home! Lolx. Went to Sri Melaka for dinner, And it was niceee I tell you. A must try place. Every penny is worth cuz it's cheap that comes with big portion and delicious. I tried Nyonya Fried Rice...woh! A bomb, spicy! But I luuurve it. I wanan try more, Like their Nyonya fried mee hon, nyonya asam laksa and etc. I've booked to go with Burn. Hehehe.

Recently, I'v elearn how to create a GIF images, thanks to Kiang. I have now create soo many of avatars, SlamDunk, Ouran Koukou Host Club, Yamato Nadeshiko, And also Larcy! WeeeHeee. Also I'm still editing Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden chaptier 15. Someone help me! My photoshop go bonkers. And I'm desperate to read it! Arghz, of all time....

Now add up the total number of points.

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but efficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy.They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

I find this interesting cuz I like personality quizzes. I got a 42. Uhm, I can't judge myself, depend on how my friends see me right?

Ginette's back alright!

On Tuesday, I went out to watch Sinking of Japan. Some say lame, some say nice. To me it's okay, nice~~ It somehow reminds me of Armageddon, like how Bruce Willis sacrifice himself. Okay, I must say the CG is reaaaly nicely done. I was really amazed, more than The Day After Tomorrow. When I came back, I swith on the monitor, and start looking for the song. Yes, the theme song, Keep Holding U by Sunmin. There's 2 different version, but I like the Jap version, Sunmin ft Kubota.


Okay, so while watching, they have this love scene. I was watching atentively, while other were talking something and laughed. I didn't get why were they laughing as they were talking in Chinese. It was weird, that scene was supposed to be sad. When the movie end, my friend told me that they were talking some perv stuff. That explains why.

I've always wanted a hair cut-to cut off the brownish hair. Thought of going to ACutAbove(the only that I trust) but I was tight on budget. So as I was flipping through the CLEO mag, there's this small section of Salon Spy. So that month they introduced Hair Curlers Salon in Subang. Price cut from RM20 onwards. I happily went on Wed with Jo and Jason. After the hair cut, it was still okay. Once I'm home and bathe, I started to dislike the style. One layer hair like Kintaro, and the fringe, doesn't look good on me. Oh well, what has been done can't be UNDONE. But when I woke up today, I see, it's not so bad after all. When it grows, it would look good, hopefully.

Ohh I did said I am gonna watch Afro-Ken, did I? Right...So I happily downloaded the first episode and watch it. ...Silence. Who said its a hip-hop samurai anime? It's a bloody anime about a doggie, though it's cute...uhm, maybe it's just an intro. I'll watch episode 2 and see if it's the same when it's out.

I was chatting with Chee Hui. Both of us were complaining about the stuuupid internet connection. Somehow these days my torrents were running fine. Yes, I use both Bittornado and uTorrent. I've finally finish downloading a few torrents:
Nodame Cantabile episode 11 (final)
Hana Yori Dango 2 episode 1 (raw)
The Third episode 18
Busou Renkin episode 14
Bokura Ga Ita episode 26(final) - such a big blow to me!
OP/ED for a few anime
etc

Today, I edit a few pages of Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden. Gosh, this is the hardest among all I've done. But I'm enjoying it because I get to read it first! Lolx. Yehh story is getting interesting. I better not give spoilers else Miyoko will haunt me down. =p And I'm still waiting for Tokyo Juliet's translation. Chinew...where'd you go? I wanna read already! Yess, somehow the group that was scanlating Tokyo Juliet went missing, and luckily, Miyoko decided to pick up this project. I'm so thankful and grateful. That aside, recently there's tons of updates for manga. I fret on this. My connection as it is now, suck. Whatmore to directdownload the manga, when it's running at 1.3-2kbps. It'll take forever. This is what M'sia so-called Broadband! So govt said that they'll fix the line by the 20th this month, how true can it be? But I'm putting some hope in cuz I have so damn many stuff to downloads. Hurry and fix it already!!

Speaking of anime, lately I've seen OtakuZone improving alot. Before I didn't like it at all because all their anime & manga reviews are sooo outdated. Recently, I remember reading a review on Trinity Blood and Otogi Zoushi from them. Hey! This time they did a great job in impressing me. Lolx. They got the storyline, plot, and all the characters review. However, they should've included the OST as well. As for Otogi Zoushi, I'm amazed. Not many people out there actually know about this anime. I always ask my friend, Hey do you know Otogi Zoushi? And the replies I always get is, what's that? Yare yare...In fact it's a bit old, nothing new except for the newly released two-volume manga, which is the prequel to the anime. And I of course bought the copy. Always support the mangaka!

Anime 2007

Yehh, Happy New 2007 to all! I have so much to say, but don't know where to start off with. Let me see, last night I went to the Curve for countdown, without bringing along my cellphone because it's expired. And I didn't expect so many of missed calls from so many people! Lolx. Sorry guys, no next time. Yehh seriously no next time because I won't be here for next year year! Hahaha.

Leaving that aside, I'm pretty much prepared for more and more upcoming anime. Lately I was worried that I would not have much time for it, and another worries would be my connection itself. I haven't been able to get my torrent moving for the past few days nor could I visit any of the forums I joined. This sucks. So as I was saying more and more anime to come. Let's go through the list. I'll only mention anime that I'm long awaiting for.

Title: Devil May Cry
Airing: 1/1/2007
Episode: 12
This series is adapted from Devil May Cry 3 game. I'm not much of a game person and I never play this game, so I don't know how good it is. Judging by the responds in forums, I guess this is a must watch anime.






Title: Seto no Hanayome
Airing: 1/1/2007 till 31/12/2007
Sumarry:A young boy gets saved from drowning by a mermaid but, according to mermaid law, if a human sees a mermaid's true form, both have to be killed. The only solution to the problem is for him to marry her. But can they keep her secret from being found out. (Taken from ANN).




Title: RomeoxJuliet
Airing: 01/01/2007
Yeah so this is the William Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet and GONZO is adapting Shakespeare work, but I tell you, this is so much different from his original work. To have a actual idea of it, watch the trailer under gallery section. The official site state that this anime is to be aired end of April, but the anime calender shows otherwise. So I don't know which is more accurate. Guess we follow the official site date.



Title: Afro Samurai
Airing: 04/04/2007
I know nothing about this anime. HOwever, very much in love with kamikaze stuff, I shall not miss this anime. Well uhm, they say, don't judge a book by its cover. Se it's the same with anime. Don't judge the anime by its picture. I hope this will be a good one.






Title: Angelique
Airing: 06/01/2007
Episode: 12
I haven't watch the first part of this anime, Koi suru Tenshi Angelique ~ Kokoro no Mezameru Toki ~ I don't know anything about this as well, but there's so many bishounen there, so I might just watch this (for the sake of satisfying myself) LolX.





Title: Nodame Cantabile
Airing: 11/01/2007
Episodes: 23
As much as I love this manga and live-action, I've been awaiting for this anime. This is the story of a guy who aspires to be a conductor and the free-spirited, piano-playing girl who attaches herself to him. This anime version is going to have Seki Tomokazu voicing Chiaki and Kawasumi Ayako voicing Nodame. It's being directed by Kasai Kenichi. (director of Honey and Clover) I'm having high expectation from this anime.
