Sincere Advise

Once in a while you'll bump into someone from the past. They were good friends then, somebody that was worth while. You invest a lot of time with them. You listened to them, asking their opinions. Then as life progress, you move on, with a goodbye and a sense of sadness because you know things will never be the same again.

But as you move on, you are exposed to new things, new people, new surrounding, new culture. You embrace it as it makes sense to you and it accepts you with open arms. You don't realised this but it changes you. At least, in the way you think. Somewhat built you with a new confidence. This new environment accepts you the way you are, sees you in many facets and believed in your potential.

Then, you bump into that someone from the past. Despite the time, they are still the way they were. You suddenly realised how closeminded, how narrow, shallow they are. In pretense of a good advise, they voiced their most darkest desire. Chipping the new confidence you have, which set you to think : Are these the people that you used to care about? How dissapointing...

ANIME. I bought Tactics DVD which contains 25 episodes back in June. But I can never play it on this computer. I tested it on my sister's today and it worked fine. So I had to transfer the whole thing using my flash drive back and fro from my sister's computer to mine. The whole process took about 2 hours. I' ve burned 24 of the episodes on 6 CD-Rs, epi 25 still in my computer. I'll burn it together with a bunch of things that I still keep in this computer. I can almost feel that it is considerably lighter since I've burned off a whole load of things that I left sitting there for months now.

I haven't really watched Tactics yet. But from what I have seen it is pretty repetitive. After the initial meeting between Kan-chan and Haruka things goes again and again on meeting evil and vanquishing them... again and again and again. It takes until episode 20 before things got interesting... heh. Usually things got interesting after 8 or 10 episodes but not this anime. It is also decidedly Shojo... you just can't wait for Kan-chan and Haruka getting at it but they never did... there were a little innuendo though... or maybe its just my imagination. I kept them anyway because I feel its a great waste to just leave the DVD unwatchable... anyway, I got empty CDs to burn...

I also got Buzzer Beater, oh, that from Takehiko Inoue sensei the creator of Slam Dunk! Buzzer Beater is the online manga he did on his website. Cool stuff. I got the anime which I have't watched since June. Its also about basketball but this time it is set in a world where they held is tournament intergalactically. [spoileriffic!!] One of the minor character, Lapis Lazuli, looks so much like Rukawa Kaede of Slam Dunk is actually a girl... [spoileriffic!!] Watching the initial episode when Rukawa was introduced in SD, it does sets me to think that he was perhaps a girl sometime when he was in Dr. T's mind. :P MWAHAH!!

Whatever things

Watched :

• King Kong 2005
• Prozac Nation
• The Skeleton Key
• The 40 Year Old Virgin
• The Constant Gardener
• The Incredibles

Comment : Phiewiiiee!! Movie marathon. King Kong is tragic. I cried 4 times, pretty much during the scenes between Ann Darrow and Kong :p It ends sadly too. The prehistoric world scenes were awesome. Ann was not a damsel in distress, there were loads of running scenes in there, loads of trying to get the hell out of danger which was really impossible. I think Peter Jackson did a great job on this one too! He is like the next Spielberg or something. Note that he has lost his weight. Either directing is really a tough job, or he is sick, or now that he is a multimillionaire, he feels that he need to change his image. Moving on to the Skeleton Key. Maybe I'm not much into this hoodoo thing to be so enraptured by the film. After half an hour I got bored but the ending was really good, really unexpected. What twist? Its a whole turn altogether. Prozac Nation need to be rewatched. There were a lot of fuck scene my sister said. I fell asleep halfway so I don't know. The 40 Year Old Virgin is so funny. Its like HAHAHA funny, been a while I laughed so hard on a movie. However, I think Andy, the virgin guy is really sweet despite it all. The Constant Gardener is one of those political films that makes me want to vomit after half an hour. So I would either rewatch or it will stay there in my DVD folder forgotten despite having Ralph Fiennes as the lead. The Incredible - watched for the 11th times, thanks to my niece!

Listened :

• Kylie Minogue - Fever
• Kylie Minogue - Body Language
• Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
• Norah Jones - Feels Like Home
• Suede - Singles
• Resident Evil Soundtrack - feat. Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, Rammstein, Depeche Mode...etc,etc

Comment : All above in the form of tapes. Hah! It was selling at RM3.90 each or RM10.00 for 3 tapes. So above was bought at RM20. Despite my love for music I'm not too hot at getting em fresh. Since I can listen to new tunes at Hitz.fm while they are hot, I don't see the point of getting a CD or a tape of a latest craze (except for T.A.T.U, I'm really looking out for their latest release) I also realised that Malaysia is finally shifting off from tape to complete CD... which means either I need to do something with my car's stereo or be scouring for tapes in backalley shops or through ebay. And yes, I know disc is a better media than tapes for storage... clearer and longer shelf life :P But skinflint like me just don't like spending RM40 on a single CD... and I don't want downloading because I'm still on dial up! Oh, favorite purchases are Suede and Resident Evil.

Burned :

• All manga and doujin collection
• All anime passed by Detto
• All Japanese Adverts and Clips

Comment : I finally went and bought 50 pcs CD-R and had a spree burning stuff off. I think I overworked my darling burner somewhat. I think I managed to free up a whole load of space! Yeay me!! Detto told me Black Cat is licensed so no more free download (DAMN THE WORLD!) I'm still hoping to get the rest of my Bleach.

Owed :

RM240 to detto (start paying this month!)
RM150 to TM
RMxxx to Citibank
