Final battle time!

At last, Shaoran and the group have met Fei Wong Reed face-to-face. Oh, I'm so excited. Please don't screw up the ending, CLAMP!

I can't do this...

At least not 5 times in a row. Sora is seriously giving me a headache from lack of oxygen.

Well, I'm not giving up. I know I can sing this if I work hard enough. I might not enter the competition with this after all, but I at least want to be able to sing it.

Alright, let's do this one more time before bed!

Sora - Hearts Grow (Birdy the Mighty Decode)

I've recently taken an interest in this song. If this appears on Ichibanzai 2009's karaoke list, this is gonna be my opening.

itsu ka miorosu koto ni tsukareta sora wa aoi iro o nakusu darou ka
tobikau musuu no kanjou no ue aoi sora wa hitotsu dake

doko ka de kikoeru arasoi mo sugu soba ni aru waraigoe mo

hirogaru sekai no chigau basho ni onaji shunkan ochita
kanashimi egao mo douji ni miru no wa kono sora dake

itsu ka miorosu koto ni tsukareta sora wa aoi iro o nakusu darou ka
kazoekirenai DORAMA o nagame, naze kawarazu ni irareru no?

It might take some time to learn though, since it's faster than most other Japanese songs I know how to sing without reading the lyrics.

Oh, I just tried, and I realised memorising the lyrics ain't gonna be my only problem. To sound nice, I have to heighten my tone. That wouldn't be too hard IF ONLY almost every sentence wasn't so long and consisted of so many syllables!

P.S. Happy Chinese New Year. Hopefully, a cow will finally jump over the moon this year.

My line's goin' topsy turvy again!

Just when I thought my line was picking up, the trouble comes back. For the past couple of days, I've had above average line. That is, I don't disconnect every 5 minutes or so. In fact, the fastest I would disconnect is every 30 minutes.

I was so happy. I thought my line would be happy too since I wouldn't have to call some guy with tools to rip it (modem and cables) open. But, what do you know? I'm at level 50 now and am desperately trying to get to level 51, but what does my blasted line give me? Disconnect every 3 minutes!

Great! What a smart thing to do, my Internet line. You just earned yourself a free trip to the surgeon's office without anesthetic! I hope to hear you scream your soundless screams and yell with your inaudible voice! Haahahahaha! Oh great, I'm sounding like Laharl. (DO you know how much we've missed you?! No one to do the cleaning, the cooking and the laundry!)

Oh well, I guess I can get like 0.5% every time i log in. I'm only a little ways to level 51, then I can kiss Monster Carnival goodbye, and say hello to mass poaching!

Reunion Dinner Tonight

But don't expect any pics since none of you are part of my family! And we have no intention of adopting another living organism into our family.

Otaku anxiety!

1. Tsubasa Chronicles manga production has come to a complete halt for nearly a month now! I know they stated at the end of chapter 171 that they were gonna take a break, but the waiting is driving me nuts!

2. Clannad ~After Story~ has once again proven to be one of the greatest anime I've ever watched. Why does it feel so appealing to me? I dunno. It kinda gives me this weird feeling that heaven can exist on earth. One of Clannad ~After Story~'s best qualities is that it makes full use of completely cliched characters. The characters are no rare sight in anime history, yet they've managed to present us with a cast of lovable and memorable characters. And damn do I love their jokes. Too bad I'm gonna have to wait another week more before the next episode is released.

3. It's hard to pick which anime to discard. Now that I have so much storage space in my computer, I can take about 6-8 series in one go, but I really really feel bad about wasting so much space. Besides, the anime this season seems to be lousy yet they hold some potential to be interesting... Sigh... What am I supposed to do? To delete or not to delete?

4. I still can't find a pair of identical guns as a base to make my haseo cosplay! Heck, I haven't found a tailor that can make my outfit either! And the convention is only 5 months away!

5. I want my Lucky Star disc back, Youngblood! Although I do have a second copy of the anime, I still feel better if I had the discs I bought with my own money.

I beat Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4!

At last, I've completed P4, WITH the true ending too! Whoever that missed the main character summoning Izanagi-no-Okami should cry. It's the coolest Persona-summoning since the Evokers from P3. And how MC unleashed Myriad Truth and blasted Izanami-no-Okami was just plain badass.

Of course, the final battle was insanely tough. If it weren't for Yosuke's insanely high attacking power (both physical and magic) and my arsenal of Null Element Personas, I doubt I could've won, especially since that...thing had two forms and the first form is already strong enough to deplete all my party members' SP, not to mention being invincible for the last 2 turns.

Then, there's the final form and it's even madder skills that can instant kill your whole party if it connects, and its whole arsenal of Almighty element attacks. Finally, the battle will end once it starts using that sure-kill attack. It killed everyone in my party, including MC. Good thing it's actually supposed to be like there, or there goes 2 hours down the drain.
