lions = apple cores

My mom got me my copy of Brisingr at last. Thank you, mom. But I know why she did it. It's because she wants me to stay away from gaming.

No, I'm not jumping to conclusions. Several days ago, she said, "Stop playing those games and get some reading done!"

If that isn't obvious, I don't know what is.

I got myself a new set of speakers that is almost identical to the previous one, except that the previous set was white and the new set is black.

Oww... head hurts.

Epitaph of Twilight

Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark,
has finally raised her army.
Apeiron, King of Light beckons.
At the base of the rainbow they meet
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.
Light's great tree doth fall.
Power- now all to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,
this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowless one,
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.


"Welle"
Riding the Wave is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of Magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave.
With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.
Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.
Macha seduces with the sweet trap.
Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.
And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik.


Fragment 0
Shunning the field broken by Wave.
The shadowed girl whispers,
"Surely, I will return."
Alas, the truth unbeknownst.
Awaiting her at journey's end;
Eternal mourning for her land.


Fragment 1
When the finger points to the
yonder moon,
The fool will not look at the fingertip.


Fragment 2
The whole cannot be changed.
We have already lost that chance.
Because the time left to us was short,
We were mistaken in our path.
But now do we realize,
We should change not the whole,
But the parts.


Fragment 3
Wave soars and shrouds the eyes.
No means to fight an omnipresent force,
The shadowless ones just grieve.
Why must it be a Wave?
Divide, if it would just...
Then retaliate, we may.


Fragment 4
Over the Keel Mountains,
Meets an ape with human speech.
The ape asks,
"What clings to you?
Bear it - you cannot.
Accept it - you cannot.
But hidden - it is from you.
Recite its name."

Got it memorised?

I'm not thinking anymore, just typing stuff that comes to mind.

Be prepared for the worst.

I'm sick. That about sums it all up. Got it memorised?

Last night, I kept waking up every 15 minutes for no reason. What's more, everytime I wake up, I see delusions. Giant building blocks (like the ones in game shows) were present all around the room. I shook my head a little and they're gone, but the process kept repeating until I had a massive headache in the morning.

Due to lack of sleep, I developed a massive headache and came down with a fever.

What's the worst? Not being able to attend tomorrow's party, that's what.

My gaming time keeps reducing!

Parents! They just keep wanting me to get out of the house, far far away from my PS2.

I just changed my mind, y'know? I'll probably bring along my PS2 if I go overseas to study. If they had just accept the way I like my life to be instead of how they'd like it, I might just stop gaming for my university years, but not anymore!

If they want to prevent me from gaming, I'll do it far away from their eyes.

Why couldn't I have gotten parents like Konata's dad?

Winger has returned!!

But who gives a damn about that?!

What's more important is... *sob*... ef - A Tale of Melodies has ended... Wahh!!!! :(

The ending was satisfactory, not epic though.

The next important thing for me is to find a working PSP emulator. So far, 0.

Preparing for next year's anime list.

It's kinda funny that Maria Holic turned out to be the first anime of next year that I just discovered. And although it has no relation to the hit yuri anime Maria-samaga Miteru, this Maria Holic is also yuri.

As far as I know, the anime is about a girl who enrols into an all-girls dorm to find a perfect yuri partner. She found someone ideal rather quickly, but her ideal partner turns out to be a sadistic, cross-dresser. In other words, she's a he. I'm gonna enjoy watching this, I think.

Akikan is another anime I've checked out, but I'll probably skip it.

Queen's Blade will also be on my list if it isn't too long. but it doesn't seem like it's gonna be released in January.

Kurokami sounds pretty cool, but these anime tend to disappoint. Well, I'll just have to wait and see.

And as a final word, DissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidia DissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidia DissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidia DissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidia DissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidia DissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidiaDissidia.

!@#$%^&* x10

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

I've been watching the trailers for Dissidia again last night and I've been cursing that all night. Why? Because I saw the cutscenes (not gameplay, just CG, which were beautiful without a doubt) where the heroes were being chased down by the villains. The best part was seeing my favourite hero facing my favourite villain.

The villain is Sephiroth, obviously, but who was the hero? Why, Squall Leonhart, of course!

Watching the both of them dueling with highspeed swordplay made me really, really, really want to play. If you thought Cloud vs Sephiroth was intense, you're gonna love Squall vs. Sephiroth. Other than that, there were also Zidane and Tidus working together while fighting Kuja and one other villain, I forgot who.

Oh, and I got a list of the characters available.

FFI: Cosmos as Warrior of Light (hero) and Garland (villain)
FFII: Firion (hero) and Emperor (villain)
FFIII: Onion Knight (hero) and Cloud of Darkness (villain)
FFIV: Cecil Harvey (hero) and Golbez (villain)
FFV: Bartz Klauser (hero) and Exdeath (villain)
FFVI: Terra Branford (hero) and Kefka Palazzo (villain)
FFVII: Cloud Strife (hero) and Sephiroth (villain)
FFVIII: Squall Leonhart (hero) and Ultimecia (villain) (I'd prefer Seifer or Edea)
FFIX: Zidane Tribal (hero) and Kuja (villain)
FFX: Tidus (hero) and Jecht (villain) (funny, Jecht was never a bad person. He just played the role of a bad guy after his Final Form was possessed by an evil spirit)
FFXI: Shantotto (hero)
FFXII: Gabranth (villain)

The last 2 came as a surprise to me too.

Anyway just watch this and if you're an FF fan with no PSP, join me in crying.

Christmas? Bah! Humbug!

I got my first present at 12.54 a.m. A big ol' lock falling onto my toe. Good thing the bone didn't fracture, but it did hurt like hell and even now, I can still feel a little pressure on it.

And I got my copy of Kingdom Hearts: Rechain of Memories. Yay! Time to game!
