Sunny

Hi everyone. I'm gonna try to restart my journaling/blog writing habit.

Perhaps this can also work as a script for vlog voiceovers.

I guess there aren't any better ways to relieve my feelings compared to writing. I am really glad that I picked up the habit of journaling since I was in university. As a male, I find that the world isn't kind to me. People don't really entertain what I have to express when it comes to my feelings. And the world certainly doesn't welcome expression of anger, if that's what males are feeling. Instead, it is the tears of female that is more prized or paid attention to. Not that it matters that much because deep in my heart, I know that the world isn't a fair place anyways.






Because of how this world works, I tend to sympathize and agree with the many characters in Japanese literature, particularly from animation and manga sources. Recently, I am closely following the Sousou no Frieren animation series online and I found myself relatable to many of its characters, namely the main character Frieren, the priest Sern and "old man" Richter. I plan to elaborate more about these characters when I have the time later.


Anyways, I have happy to see that n-buna is the composer of this lovely opening song for Sousou no Frieren series! I hope you will like this song too.

Heroes and Heroines- Characters' Medley

With only 5 more weeks before my maiden orchestra concert
I cannot help but to get excited about the event
It's been a very long time since I was charmed
by the fascinating music of Kingdom Hearts franchise
where I got to know the existence of the goddess, Shimomura Yoko

Final Fiction

There are two game plots that I would be referring in the upcoming write-up, namely Bravely Default: Flying Fairy (BDFF) and its sequel, Bravely Second: End Layer (BSEL).

Fan Wars: The Rise of the "Prosumer"

Gonna try to re-commit myself to consistent write blog posts
So I will write on random topics
particularly those relate to the song
on my playlist

So, the 89th Comic Market is being held at Tokyo Big Sight
As I write this post
The 2nd day of the event has ended
Fan artists, workers, cosplayers, fans, photographers, commercial retailers
all of these people would be on their way back home
to rest up for another day
because tomorrow would be the last day of an bi-annual event

Arc-en-Ciel


After reading this article (link), I was prompted to write something in reflection of my mischievious adventure I had with the Shin Megami Tensei series, particularly the spin-off Persona series.

My random encounter with this franchise occurred when I was at an age of 16. At that time, I love good stories and I wanted to delve into stories with greater depth beyond what Harry Potter has to offer. I would never have thought that a chance purchase of the (illegal copy of) Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 would have change my life forever.

TERMINATION

I've learnt from the hard way that
problems that can be solved with money aren't problems
but not having money is a major problem itself

with that being said
it's time for me to be thrifty for the next few months
'coz I've definitely overspent
just to solve a problem at hand
using the power of money

guess my goal of getting a place of my own
is now further from my reach
because that would cost...
around half a million?

so, for the time being,
allow me to indulge in my 2D fantasy world


and this game that I am playing
reminds us that human/demon/gods are no different from one another
except for having different amount of powers
and naturally, humans would control their lusts and desires
for the sake of maintaining order and status quo

kinda true in the real human world as well, don't you think so?

p/s: with reference to this video game
Charon, the ferryman of Hades said, "Macca opens all door."

Hearts Democracy

Sorry for not posting anything in the past few weeks
Guess I failed to update this blog on a scheduled basis OTL

Anyhow, I was asked to answer to several cosplay-related questions
and I thought that posting those answers in the blog
would be more appropriate the posting them on Facebook

P/S: OMG, I realized that I became very obsessed with the Kiseki series recently!

The Great Ordeal

My friend said something that
which served as a wake-up call

"Do not make an interest into a duty.
A hobby/interest used be something voluntary.
It's about sharing what you like and doing what you love."

And so, I'm now face a roadblock
a reality roadblock
the same roadblock that I deliberately avoided conflict with
over my past 5 years being involved in my ACG hobbies

At the beginning
it's true that we hobbyist did it out of passion and interest
because everyone already have commitments
and no one in their right mind
would ask for more commitments and responsibilities
however, I believe
if we were to put a little commitment
into our hobbies and interest
we might be able to achieve more
and that dream..

But the roadblock stands
and the decision is.......

Okay, I'd realized that
I have not been blogging much in the previous 2 years

However, considering that I have shift my focus

I guess I will be blogging more frequent
I hope you guys would enjoy reading my blog posts!

Unlimited Gaming Time

I am the owner of my gaming console
Nintendo/Sony is my god and fund is my offering
I have created a thousand save files
Unaware of game overs, nor aware of game completion
Withstood long queue to collect pre-orders
waiting for the 10/10 rating game's arrival
I have no regrets
This is the only path
My whole life was unlimited gaming time

Dive Into Marchen

20120530, Thursday
the first day of the annual company trip
and being single,
I was given the responsibility to lead a group of colleagues in this event
while those married would be busy taking care of their kids and spouse
and they expect me to be the event photographer as well?
guess I would have to charge them for the photos that I have taken fufufu...
after all, I did use my new camera lens for this event :D
