I have hearing that computer noise again during start-up. Hehehe, don't telll me something else will be broken soon. ^^;; I had finished copying the files. I will do other things after Monday as to whether the virus can be removed or not.
I finally finished Suikoden 4. I had a bit of hard time with the tree which was the last boss. Then, defeated Troy in a one-on-one battle. In the end, after researching a bit on the net, well, they thought the hero died after using the rune. They let him float in that boat. It irked me a bit that they couldn't at least thank him for helping them out when they declared that island federation or I could have missed. Whatever.
Since I got all of the 108 stars, the hero woke up from his funeral boat and wave to a bigger boat. They say that it was Lino and I thought it was his mother. ^^;; Okay, I thought he really died but then, yeah, that woman did told him that the rune had changed so it could be a reason why he is still alive. Good thing that the boat came passing by or else, he would be just like before when he was exiled. First thing he could have said, how could you left me in the ocean, I'm still alive. Good thing you didn't bury me. Hehehe
Anyway, at least why he was able to use the rune was explained. It was because he was actually the missing son of the king of Obel and the queen was the former owner of the rune. The hero actually met her while he was unconscious after using the rune.
Well, this game did reminded me of the plot of Suikoden 2 which was about two friends that somehow became enemies. In this case, Snowe has become a friend again. Anyway, I still like the second one's plot among all the Suikoden I had played. It was the reason I had been buying this game. I haven't played the original one though. I do noticed that they usually make the villains bsho. ^^;
I had started playing Xenosaga 2. My mistake on Gaigun. He wasn't a spy but he was just trying to get info from Albedo. ^^; I'm now playing Samaritan in the game before I head of to Momo's dive.

I think I might have to re-format the system hard disk again because of that nasty worm virus that I got. I just got the zone alarm but it is too late for the computer is already infected. ^^; It cannot be removed by the anti-virus and kept on wanting to download a virus from the internet. I will know what to do by Monday when the technician will come to install the drivers.
Bro-in-law brought his external hard disk. I'm currently saving the files that I asked him to download for me. I should also save the programs that I might need later on.
I had called my isp. I can change the username of the primary account. Yes! I don't have to delete that much spam mails anymore. Hehehe I had been using that account since I first had my internet account. I had stupidly click the links in spam mails which is a no-no. I will just keep this one spam free since I can change the other email accounts myself.
Nothing much happened in the latest D. Gray-man. Allen told Rabi that they have to show that they love the flowers to stop them from attacking them. Rabi just shouted 'I love you'. Hehehe Meanwhile Eliade insults Crowley as they fight it off. I'm not quite sure but Eliade said that she wanted to do something to make her beautiful or rather make a girl feel she is beautiful - is it love or sex? ^^; Anyway, just when Eliade thought she had won, Crowley bites back.

Yesterday, while surfing, there was this pop-up which said that my computer is being hacked then there is another one on spyware. I actually thought it was windows which was saying it but then, they are recommending a different software. So, I checked that software out - reviews of it and it turned out to be not good. It is not for free and one user tried it out, instead of fixing the windows, it crashed it. ^^; I'm still not used to this os that I'm not sure if I'm doing things right.
I even stupidly had log out had needed the username. I remembered the wrong name. Good thing the tech support knows how to do it. I have to remember to make this one log in since I'm the only user. It is programmed for networks. I had almost finished installing all of the programs.
I don't think I can finish the new blog pic by Monday since I don't have my photoshop software. I might have to improvise on another picture with a different software. I will just see what I can do.
I had finished downloading the three chapters that I haven't downloaded. Then, there is a new one in the translations. The flashback has finished with Franky having made most of his body into machine and Iceberg becoming a mayor. Iceberg gave Franky the blueprints and since Franky has been using the money for something, he could have been building what was in the blueprints.
CP9 captured Franky and Kaku realized that Usopp was one of the Straw Hats. Kaku had destroyed Merry, I think. I don't have the scans yet. Back at the city, Iceberg has told Nami that Robin has turned herself in and was forced to betray them to 'protect' them. Robin had chosen them over the rest of the people in the world because her knowledge can 'kill' everyone. Nami was happy about it and tried to get Chopper up as they will try to help Robin.
Somewhere else, Sanji was gone to the train which will go to a prison as Sanji had already sensed that Robin has been lying to them about wanting to leave them. Speaking of Sanji, here is a picture of the chibi that I bought. ^_^

The new hard disk was bought yesterday and things didn't turn out well. My sound card and scanner doesn't have a driver for Win2000. I'm somewhat regretting getting that. I'm only getting that so that my computer could read bro-in-law's external hard disk. Anyway, office wasn't installed either since my cd player won't read his discs. Then, it was only when he left when I realized that there are still stuff that he didn't install. ^^;
I felt like my brain is melting or something. There is this medicine receipt which I had lost. I cannot remember where I put it and it is needed to return the medicine which I won't be drinking anymore. Argh. I'm currently busy installing everything again. This is the downside of any new hard disk. It can be quite frustrating. Also, Win2t is a bit irritating. I'm not used to this yet.
The Taiwanese movie channel is gone now. Lately, there aren't any good movies in that channel. I had missed a few episodes of Naruto while staying at sis and I realized that I just missed the fight between Kakashi and other sensei, and Sasuke's brother. Right now, it is the meeting of the two siblings with Naruto. Yesterday's episode was focused on Sasuke's past. ^^;; The only fun thing there is when his brother stopped Sasuke's attack. The last scene was the arrival of Naruto's teacher - the pervert one. Sorry, I'm lazy to look up the names and brain isn't functioning properly.

I’m back home. The creatinine test is okay but at the borderline so I guess it was either the medicine that is toxic or it was because of the lack of blood. The blood count is higher because of the injections. Other tests are okay. We went to Nii at around 930am and we were finished at around 3pm. Sis reminded herself not to go here on Mondays. We were number 18 and by the time we left, it was just 19 and there are 30+ more patients.
After that, we went out to eat more since we had a light lunch. We went to Robinson’s mall. I spent another 6 hours walking around. ^^; I did buy something at this toy shop. It is a chibi Sanji. I like his pose so I got to have it even if I forgot to ask for a discount since the hair is a bit dirty.
We ate at this new resto Fuzion which I read from the newspaper. We tasted everything they had. It is so-so. I thought that there juices are just plain shakes but they are mixed fruits. I just drank with sis. The strawberry one tasted like a strawberry candy. I can’t drink much since it is too cold and I’m having brain freeze. The food is okay but it isn’t the type that I would crave for.
I decided to start downloading Bleach at bro-in-law's house. It isn’t finished yet since it is pretty slow. When his dsl was down yesterday, I just watched GSD. I had skipped an episode since the older ones are already in the external hard disk. Let’s see. Gil of Plant met with the the pilots plus a new one. I forgot the name. They talked about the causes of war. This is also the episode where the guys looked a bit like girls. ^^; Anyway, Mia then came and went ga-ga over Anthrun. Later on, Gil tried to ask Anthrun where Lacus was and he said that he didn't know. I think that he is really looking for her in order to kill her and that everyone would just think Mia is the real one. The next episode is a recap episode from the first season to the present.
The next morning, Anthrun was pretty shocked to see Mia sleeping beside him. She had sneaked into his room. ^^; Then, Lunamaria came. Hehehe That made Lunamaria displeased with him as he tried to explain himself. They later learned that the new pilot would also be joining them and that he is also from Faith. They wondered why there are three Faith members in the ship. Anthrun managed to get away from Mia when she has other duties. Anthrun also managed to prevent her from trying to kiss him. Hehehe
Later on, Shinn wandered around and found Stellar dancing. She fell off a cliff and he saved her. She kept on fighting that she scratched his face then when Shinn reprimanded her about wanting to die. She went all crazy. In the end, he managed to calm her down when he promised to protect her. Shinn called for a distress signal so Anthrun came to pick him up. Then, they met with Stellar's friends. They tried to keep cool since Anthrun is wearing his uniform. Anthrun remembered them at Plant when the gundams were stolen. Anyway, Shinn and Stellar bid each other goodbye and hopes to see each other again.

I just learned that there is indeed a third installment of Shadow Hearts but they had changed the hero. He did somewhat looked like Sora of KH. ^^; then there is this girl who supposedly had elf powers. The story is now set in the US. SH is pretty much like a history lesson. Hehehe The trailer’s cg really looks good. ^_^ Hope it is pretty good too.
I just seen in the cable news about MGS movie. I don’t think it is a game though. Well, it was too short that it was just a preview for next week. I don’t have this channel in my cable so no change of seeing it. I would just have to check around the net about it.
It seemed that tagboard is up again so I’ll change it back. It seemed that their site has been hacked. I would put it back then. I like their format than the new one, actually. =P

I’m at sis house. I went here yesterday afternoon then we had a haircut. Today, I had my blood test. Good thing that we left early. We went to this major road (Edsa) and somewhat thought if we should have chosen a smaller roads – long cut- for there is a traffic build up. Thank God we were in a lane that is moving and it turned out that they are fixing the road. The four lanes are made into one single lane! After we passed that, there is no more traffic. I did thought that during weekend there should be lesser cars because there is no school and most offices are closed.
When we arrived there, at the cashier, there is a bit of a fuss there. This guy named Rudolfo was shouting about not knowing how much he should pay or something like that. Many people are also pretty angry. He was shouting at the billing office that it was there mistake and later, he paid. We only learned later on, that the guy had cut the line with that excuse so the other people were angry. The officer in charge later on had made 10+ people to go to another cashier so we again, managed to get ahead. We are rushing to be able to get the 10am cut-off before a particular blood test be run or else, it would be done next Tuesday.
It seemed that the cashier in the other building has broken down so there are too many people there. The officer in charge obviously was angry at the guy as she loudly announced that that guy is like that because he is from Malacanang (office of the president like the White House). She even asked the cashier the name of the guy by saying that she will report it. I highly doubt that though. Of course, after she left, the people are murmuring about it like no wonder he acted that way.
We were at the lab and the guy who always take my blood wasn’t there yet. The cut off time is fast approaching and he was taking the blood of a baby. We eventually asked this other girl to do it and only when it was finished, when he arrived. ^^; Oh well, at least, the girl is nice enough to try to go and try to have the blood tested before the cut-off. She said that we could have the result by Monday at around 10am. I will go to Nii on Monday morning.
After that, we had breakfast at this Chinese restaurant. We walked a bit around the mall. I bought a succulent to put inside my house since my mother put all my cacti outside of the house since she believes in feng shui. Prickly plants inside is a no-no for feng shui. This only happened when a feng shui master managed to somewhat predict the problems at my brother’s old house that it has actually happened to my brother.
GSDestiny has been licensed. Good thing that bro-in-law managed to download the rest the day before animesuki removed them. ^_^ I don’t know if fansubbers would still fansub it though. I couldn’t bare it that I downloaded D. Grayman to know what had happened last night. Hehehe It is a bit about Eliade who was an akuma that wasn’t interested in finding innocence but just to make herself beautiful for the woman’s body she is using was like that. It was when the millennium count asked her to check out Crowley when he fallen for her and she used him so that she can do something.
It seemed that Allen’s curse had grown stronger that it enabled Crowley and Rabi to actually see the ‘sealed soul’. Eliade then tried to kill Crowley after Rabi warned Crowley that she is an akuma. She doesn’t want him to become an exorcist and she planned on using him and makes him her ‘slave’. Rabi and Allen tried to help but the flowers of Crowley’s grandfather grabbed them again. Crowley licked a blood of Eliade and is really to fight after finally, snapping out of it – that Eliade never loved him. The fun thing here is Rabi calls Crowley, Crow-chan. Hehehe
Edit: While surfing, I saw two new anime that will be shown on wowow soon. At 1:00 [Jap time] at the end of the month , Le Portrait de Petti Cossette will be shown. From the sample video, it seemed pretty gothic and dark. They mentioned Soul Taker and Tsu-something Moon Phase which I presume it to be something like that or they are the same makers. ^^; The other one is Bloody Trinity, which I had been hearing before about vampires fighting against something. Okay, I have no idea. I just know it used to be a novel and made into a manga and unfortunately, the author had just passed away either last year or this year.
The art is pretty especially those mecha/ship designs. Pretty cool and wow, detailed. The novel covers are also pretty detailed. This one will be shown at 12:00 [Jap time] I wonder why they have to show their anime at that time. Mm..maybe it is gory and not suitable for kids. But then, I might not be able to watch this that late in the night unless of course, I record it. This will be on by end of April.

The computer technician came yesterday to install the new hard disk but it turned out that the capacity is too big that my processor couldn’t read it. ^^; So, I’m forced to downgrade it and had to re-schedule it. The other option for it is to change the processor and the motherboard but then, that is like buying a whole new computer. Of course, I would just downgrade the hard disk.
I got Unicorn’s St. Partick’s day card the other day. After thanking her in her blog, I saw a note about some thingies in there. I wondered for I didn’t seem to have noticed anything particular except for the card. It was only when I opened it again yesterday when I saw it has small green clovers and a couple of stickers in it. ^^; Hehehe..I’m slow. Anyway, it is a nice surprise. It isn’t a holiday celebrated here and I had already forgotten what it is about. ^^; Mm..the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow with an elf. Is that for this holiday? ^^;
I haven’t finished Suikoden because I had thought that I had finished collecting all the characters except for Snowe. I went forward with the story since I couldn’t trigger the scene for him at a certain island. It turned out that is a no-no so I had to re-do it. Only then, I realized that I had missed one character. Argh. On top of it all, I haven’t saved it in a separate file that I have to re-do the freeing of an island state. So now, they are all complete. Snowe combo with the hero is indeed the strongest of all. I’m not that impressed with Snowe’s supposed character development – rich to rags but then, it wasn’t focus on him so much could be the reason why I’m not quite affected by it. I’m now powering up the characters before going to the final quest.
I managed to take a peek on Girls Bravo 2 at wowow. It is as expected, a soft porn anime. One of the girls, I thought, was a girl but actually was a boy. ^^;; There was this typical rich pervert guy with sister and bodyguards wanting to play with the girls strip mahjong. If one builds a certain group of characters, the loser would have to wear or strip accordingly. It goes from maid outfit, cat outfit, magical girl outfit, bunny playboy outfit and just strip to one’s underwear. The rich kids managed to force the boy to cheat but they were caught and were forced to wear that sumo wrestler underwear as they go home.
There is also this cute girl who had a weird mascot creature who kept on ending her sentences with no da. Mmm..I kept on thinking where I heard that before...which anime was it. Was it in Gravitation? She and another girl wear carton gundam suits and tried to beat each other. Then, there is this other girl wearing a snake..yup, wearing only a snake to cover her private parts, watching them. The next episode would seem to be a play of the rich guy wanting to capture the bunny playboy outfitted girls. ^^;; It is like a dream event. The ending song is the pink haired girl walking then finally meeting with the boy.
News here is about food poisoning caused by cassava. In some province, a vendor selling fried cassava cakes of some sort could still have the ‘cyanide’ of the cassava since it wasn’t cooked/cleaned well. It had killed 30+ kids and downed 100+ people who ate it during their mid-morning school break. The vendor is also down for she also ate it. There was a burial yesterday and people especially the mothers were crying over the dead of their loved ones. The vendor who was also sick from it has sold the cakes before and nothing like this had happened. She is also a grandmother already and I guess if it is really an accident, the deaths could have haunted her.
I have already learned of the potential poison in cassava before during elementary. I had wondered why people would still want to eat it. Maybe it is like eating puffer fish. Anyway, my teacher wanted to give bonus points for making cassava cake. I can’t find a recipe for it and I’m not that confident of being able to clean/cook it properly so I just bought one. Hehehe I tasted it a bit and well, I don’t like it.

I think I can finish Suikoden 4 today or tomorrow. I need only three more people to finish the recruitment. I had freed all of the island-states from the invaders. I begin to doubt if they will ever explain why the hero didn’t die when he used the rune but then, maybe at the end, he will. ^^;; Finally...I had been itching to play Xenosaga 2 again. Hehehe
I had downloaded the ending songs of Xenosaga 1 and Sh:C since I got to like them after recording the tapes. I searched for the lyrics and geez, these songs are really sad. I almost got teary eyed over it. ^^;
I have to go visit Nii again on Monday. I might have my blood test on Saturday at that hospital for just one pricking instead of two since one of the tests is only available at that hospital. The downside is that the tests there can be a bit expensive. My mom said that it is because it is a semi-private hospital so the excess money was actually used for the less fortunate people having their treatments there.
I was flipping channel yesterday and discovered that Hxh Greed Island Final is indeed over and they had put in Naruto. It feels weird to have three channels in our cable showing Naruto. The local channel starts at the start. The tw movie channel starts at Naruto’s training to get them frogs. The local tw channel starts at Naruto vs Gaara and the death of the village head of leaf. Of course, I’m watching the last one. As usual, the story is moving so slowly that it is really like the manga animated – same pacing. I do wonder how far they are going it this time.

D. Gray-man scanlators had finally caught up with the Japanese release. I really like Rabi now. Hehehe That’s a pretty cool weapon – hammer. ^_^ The story starts with Crowley looking at his grandfather’s picture about his grandpa cursing him because he wanted to live outside the castle. It is hard to be serious here when the picture of the grandfather had him sticking out his tongue. ^^; Then, Eliade went to him, crying that the exorcists are out to get him and destroyed the flowers. She let him drink her blood so as to give him super human strength.
Meanwhile, Allen and Rabi found themselves at the cemetery and saw the stars on the graves so they decided to investigate. They realized that Crowley was just attacking akumas/demons so he could actually be their ally. Then, Crowley appeared and smash Rabi into the wall. Allen tried to talk to him but Crowley kept on attacking. He just gave Allen a haircut when he bit Allen on his neck. ^^;; Allen got tossed back into the castle. Then, Rabi came back, hitting Crowley with his huge hammer.
At the castle, Allen found a secret room and saw Eliade who tried to ‘suck’ his life as she doesn’t want them to get Crowley. Poor Allen got all beaten up. Just when she is about to chop his head off, Allen’s left arm stopped her. Allen’s left eye has healed. It is like a skull merging in..I guess his foster father is actually living inside of him when he cursed Allen. Allen then can see that Eliade is an akuma. Allen then asked if Eliade would change shape and she did.
Rabi kept on attacking while Crowley is dodging his attacks. Rabi told him about the akuma and that he can hunt as much as he want if he joined them. Rabi said that his teeth could be innocence. Rabi then said that it seemed that Crowley wasn’t holding back so he released his hammer’s seal. Around his hammer, there are encircled words in Chinese/kanji – fire, water, earth, sky, wood and four question marks. Crowley then had withdrawal symptoms as he ran out of Eliade’s blood. Rabi took this chance to fry him using his hammer’s fire seal though he lowered the fire a bit.
Both Crowley and Eliade crashed into a hall. Eliade seeing the unconscious Crowley quickly went back to her original form and rushed to him. Rabi grabbed Allen before he falls down as he asks what’s with Eliade who is now with Crowley. That’s it until next week. The author has gone on a break for research. My guess is Eliade doesn’t want to kill Crowley as ordered by somebody. She did mention that killing Allen could be an exchange for Crowley. Mmm..an akuma falling for a possible exorcist. Interesting.
In GB, Kadzuki is getting overworked as he tried to learn more about Saizou but then, Shido came to help him. Meanwhile, Ginji learned that his mother is in Babylon. Someone theorized that she could be the one with Masaki. Teshimine left saying that he has something else to do. After some talking, Ginji and Ban decided that it is time to get back things of their own – Ginji’ mother to know if she left Ginji or he was stolen from her, Himiko who was like a sister to Ban and the time which was lost from Mugenjou which was the real reason why Getbackers is formed. This could also be the last arc for this is their last retrieval mission.

I dreamt of being sick and so when I wake up, I feel pretty tired and crappy. =( So, the day started not pretty good. It was my nephew’s birthday yesterday. Sis and bro-in-law are buying a toy for him. Bro-in-law asked if I wanted a gundam. I said I wanted that is being assembled. I would ask my bro to assemble it for me. Hehehe I asked if there is any cool gundam there. He said that Savior is not there. Mm..I impact of Savior = most powerful = cool. One thing for sure, I don’t want Impulse. Hehehe He told me to just go there and pick which one I want. ^^;
I recorded some of the movies from Xenosaga 1 & 2, DMC 3 and SH:C for Asher yesterday. Repeating the movies about 2-3 times can really cause one to be a bit loony. ^^; I had to time it to fit in the tapes. SH:C is about 3 hours so I decided to use two tapes instead of one. I just had to include the funny scenes in SH:C which made the game really fun. ^_^ I had dreams of those games for two nights already. ^^;; Anyway, it is finished. ^_^
I played Suikoden 4 again. I finally found that fisherman. Yehey! I’m still doing some recruiting and well, doing a bit of the story as I go on. I tend to use either the pirate group or the ninja group in boss fights. I do wonder if I would ever use the rest at the end of the story though that I might be wasting time powering them up.
My bro-in-law had convinced me to just buy a new hard disk rather than wait for the old one to conk out. I’m not using the old one much in fear of it conking out so it is the same if I bought it now than later on, he argued. He also wanted me to change to Win 2000 so that he can just plug the portable hard disk to transfer the movies, which I asked him to download to me. Mm..since I would be using the new hard disk for the os, that would mean that I would have to re-install everything [programs] again. ^^;
Naruto is back on local tv as well as in the Taiwanese movie channel. The Taiwanese movie channel immediately started where most of the channels had left off before - Naruto training in the hot springs. Hehehe I think the Taiwanese channel stopped at Naruto just about to charge at Gaara. Anyway, that meant that I had missed HxH though I do find it weird to see Gon without a hand. Mm..wonder how he got it back. Anyway, if they animated Ryodan fighting those bugs, I might just watch that.
Karekano is also now on local tv. I guess those Taiwanese dramas aren’t making much money or well, the host has decided to go back to her studies. This is on every Saturday mornings. The one who did the lead girl’s voice is pretty good. Anyway, I had seen this already courtesy of Asher and the end pretty much ruins that anime. I had finished watching I’LL. The ending is pretty much predictable but I guess it is okay. I’m starting to re-watch Trigun but this time in Jap dub.

I had been progressing a bit in Suikoden. I still don’t get it how I could get that fisherman who was suppose to be in a certain harbor. Every time I go there, there is no one to recruit there. After defeating Snowe who had ‘sold’ his town to the enemies, he was defeated by the hero. I decided to set him adrift since he is the last recruit. Somehow, I wonder if I can complete the recruit if I couldn’t find that fisherman. Anyway, we then got a tactician and passed her test. The hero was made ‘king’ in order to protect the real king. It is now time to get the other island countries to help in fighting off the invaders.
In D. Gray-man, the one who grabbed Allen turned out to be the mayor and called him ‘black clergy man’ and that they need him. At the train, Rinali and Bookman are telling Rabi to go back to the train station to get Allen using his hammer. The cover page of him using his hammer to go back is pretty nice with a backdrop of the moon. he is like riding on a broomstick like a witch. ^_^ The mayor and others tied Allen up as they told them of the baron who had become a vampire. Rabi pops out and they all nabbed him. Lol. They told him that someone like them came before and visited the baron. If anything happens, ask the help of people who dress up like him.
Rabi and Allen learned that it was Cross who came there before so they decided to do the job even though they are pretty scared about it. I wonder why they thought that there is no vampire at that time when I think it is about that time when there are vampires..I’m assuming that this is ah..somewhat Renaissance time, I think. ^^; Anyway, Rinali told them not to get bitten as she, Bookman and Timcampi went off to search for Cross. Back to the castle, Allen and Rabi were forced to go ahead with the townsmen behind them. Then, the baron made his appearance as he bite off one of the townsmen and freaking out Rabi and Allen.
At the headquarters/church, Komui has returned to his mountains of work and someone mentioned of a vampire case which wasn’t proven before and still pending. Back at the castle, Rabi’s hammer was no match for the Baron’s teeth. Allen managed to grab him but got bitten. The Baron doesn’t like the taste of Allen that it quickly ran off. Hehehe The townspeople urge him to go as Rabi is also scared if Allen might change into a vampire since he was bitten.
At the castle, Crowley, the Baron, was shaking and couldn’t believe that he turned into a vampire again. A nurse named Eliade came who somewhat pacified him by saying she loved him and that they shouldn’t care about the other people. I think she is the reason behind all of this. As Allen and Rabi make their way inside the castle, they were caught by some man-eating plants. Rabi was knocked out by the gas as Allen tried to help him and free himself. Then, they saw Eliade who is going to dispose of the body.
Rabi saw her and boy, was he hit...he had fallen for her as she flirted with him. Allen was furious that he hit Rabi on the head. Eliade then asked what they wanted and they say that they want to see if the guy taken by the baron is still alive. Eliade then tossed the dead guy to them and was eaten by the plants. Then, there is that familiar black stars which was in the first volume on the plants then an explosion. After re-reading the first volume, the black stars are akuma poison so I guess Crowley is an akuma or maybe it is Eliade.
It is interesting that the author used a real person’s name for the baron but then, that shouldn’t be surprising for he tend to use real people as basis for the characters of this series. The scanlators might be slowing down soon as they are about to catch up with the present chapter – 5 more chapters. I really think that Rabi has become somewhat or is the comic relief in this arc.
In One Piece, they are still in the flashback of Tom and the others. Franky’s ships attack the judicial ship and Franky wanted to renounce his ships for hurting Tom. Tom told him never to forsake the ships he made for it is the people who use them that should be blamed. Tom then said that he would take the blame for everything and asked the judge to use the former crime – building Roger’s ship as the basis for his imprisonment. The train, which Tom built is carrying him to prison. Franky tried to stop it but ended up hurt...hence, I guess his cyborg body.

I played a bit of Shin Megami Tensei:Nocturne yesterday. Mm..it was good though somewhat spooky. I kept on reminding myself that this is not a horror game and no sudden appearances of ghosts will appear while walking around an abandoned hospital which was obviously used by a cult to do their stuff. I had gotten a bit far when I realized that I really should have picked a better name for the character than the temporary one I used. ^^; In Suikoden, I am trying to recruit some of the characters before going back to the storyline. This game does really seem short for I already got the castle and pretty lots of the characters – there are 108 in all including the hero.
Save the Last Dance had started to bore me that I’m no longer watching that though sometimes keep updated from mom who still watches it. There is this Japanese drama, Young Mother’s Heaven. The story is so-so about a girl who is about to get married when another girl appeared and grabbed her husband-to-be. It turned out that that her husband-to-be has a dream of becoming a boxer and chose that over the poor girl. The girl was very frustrated because she is already pregnant. Nevertheless, she decided to have the child even if her father doesn’t approve of it. She tried to find the guy after giving birth but then, after seeing him so engrossed in boxing with the other woman with him, she decided to give him up for it isn’t worth it.
Her younger brother had hinted it though to the guy who is totally clueless that he was a father already. At first, the father of the girl is trying to be firm but in the end, he couldn’t resist his grandson who seemed to be fond of fishing. The father wanted a heir to his fishing business for his son doesn’t want anything to do with it. I am thinking that this will end at 10 episodes as usual for Japanese dramas but then, this is made by NHK and I’m not quite sure if NHK follows that usual 10-episode standard.
Kanda made a brief appearance in D. gray-man. Mm..now that I think of it, what does the title mean to the story. ^^;; Anyway, Kanda and two others were attacked by akuma as they are trying to find their sensei General Theodore whom Kanda claim to despise. That is not surprising since Komui did mention that Kanda doesn’t get along with anybody. The two others said that at least they are not going after General Cross.
At the train, Allen is having nightmares about his sensei, General Cross while Rabi is having fun doodling on sleeping Allen’s face. Hehehe They would have a hard time finding Cross since he doesn’t get allowances from the Church nor does he report his whereabouts so they just have to depend on Allen who had lived with him before and Timcampi, the general’s golem. It is learned that Cross has a tendency to borrow money from friends and people to live and if they need more money, he had Allen gamble for it. Allen’s eye is whole again but still shut.
During a train stop, Allen had a talk with Rinali who is still angry at him for the stunt he tried to do before. Rinali wanted him to trust her as her friend and not just depend on himself. The train is leaving and so Allen tried to catch it as Rinali was already on it. As he was going, someone grabbed his hand and asked if that is a cross he is wearing. Allen got left behind. I guess this is where the vampire enemy comes in. Hehe..I peaked at some of the Chinese scans. =P

The Xenosaga 2 that my bro bought is indeed defective. It is like a copy, which haven’t been finished with the Jap dubs still there. Well, at least I get to hear some of the dubs. ^-^ Sis bought me a new copy. This one has two discs unlike the other one, which is only one. I will still continue to play Suikoden 4 for I do remember reading that this is a short game. Powering up the characters seems to be quite easy. The lead learned of the history of his rune – can kill the user if used too much. ^^; Then, some merchants and a certain country had started invading islands including the one, which sheltered the lead. The lead and the king escaped and teamed up with the pirates.
I also got DMC3. Hehehe even though I haven’t played the first one yet. ^^;; The opening is okay..I still found the cg somewhat off. It feels weird when Dante does that tap dance. ^^; It seemed to be a fun game. I got all As in the introduction then down to Bs. ^^; The story is a pre-sequel. He just opened his shop but he got attacked and got an invitation to a tower from his twin brother. His twin is stronger since Dante had already got beaten. ^^;; Based on the opening.
Rabi from D. Grayman is indeed very amusing. Nice weapon he got – a hammer, which can shrink and grow big. He has a knack for destroying stuff and got Allen in trouble, too. Hehehe They are in the streets and were attacked by akumas. Allen realized what the other exorcists have to be up against since they don’t have an eye like his which can determine which are humans and which are akumas. They have to assume everyone is an akuma and with their uniform, they stand out to be a target.
After defeating the akumas and having a count on who defeated the most [Rabi won], Rabi used his hammer to jump to where the hospital was. At the hospital, Bookman [Rabi’s father?], Komui and Rinali are under attacked. Rinali managed to wake up before the akuma killed her brother. Just in time, Rabi and Allen came crushing down and hit Bookman. Lol. On their way out, their next mission is to guard General Cross [Allen’s mentor] who might be one of targets of the Millennium Count who is after the heart of the innocence. One of the generals had already been tortured and badly injured – left for dead. Good thing the artist didn’t show all the gruesome stuff.

I had to suspend playing of Xenosaga 2 for it turned out that the one I bought is defective. Now, I begin to think that is the reason why they speak in Japanese during battle scenes though in special weapons, Kos-mos are speaking in English. In the Momo dive, there are only three characters that can be played. I later learned, that I was supposed to be able to use the other characters. It was only when fighting with a mutant URTV when the game kept on freezing that I had to call it quits and have to get a new one. =( I should have waited for a few more days/weeks before buying it after the release date for there will be bugs..just like in FF8.
Now, I’m playing Suikoden 4. Instead of walking from place to place, it is using ship to go from island to island. Nice. The battle doesn’t need much thinking that I can put it into auto for minor enemies and still win. As I said before, the cg of the characters is really not good especially the main character. I had noticed that the main character doesn’t talk at all. Weird. I almost thought he was mute. ^^; The story is the lead was found at this knight’s island and got to train with Snowe, the mayor’s son. The lead, whom I named Faith, got to become more superior than Snowe that Snowe framed him to have killed their commander. The commander was just consumed by the rune, which had transferred to Faith. Faith is now drifting with some of his colleagues, met with a mermaid, and a certain Troy. As of now, they are picked up by a princess.
Saiyuki Reload is filled with fillers. I watched a bit yesterday about taking care of a kitty cat, which causes allergies to Sanzou. It is obvious that Sanzou will get to appreciate that kitten later on. They returned it to its owner at the end.

I had started playing Xenosaga 2. I played it again from the start since I somewhat forgot the buttons. I’m not quite used to it yet. Now, I forgot how to do the double attack. ^^; Anyway, most of the characters had changed outfits. Shion looks quite nice in her outfit but then, it makes me wonder if her eye glasses before is just props for now, she no longer uses it. JR, well, his outfit clashes with his hair color. I like his old outfit better – much cooler. ^_^ Momo’s is as cute as ever just like a school uniform with a hat. Her weapon changed from wand to a bow. Nice. Chaos is okay. I don’t like the cg of Kos-mos, which looked really better in the first part and her voice has changed. =(
After that flashback of Jin, Chaos and Canaan, they are now in present time. The bad guys are still after Momo. Momo can sure drive. ^_^ I like the battle system for it can change characters in the battle instead of the usual, being stuck with what you got/selected. After escaping, they are going to dive into Momo to retrieve the Y-data. Shion met with her brother, Jin whom she couldn’t get along with. During the dive, it turned out that Albedo had put a trap inside Momo and causes the data to be leaked out. Momo forced herself to shut down to prevent it to happen.
Now, Shion and the others are going to dive into Momo to help revive her. It turned out that JR has known Sakura, the girl that Momo was based on so that is why he is pretty nice to her. That is where I stopped as we are going into that flashback. Interesting enough, the three – Jr [Rubedo], Albedo and Gaigun [Nubedo?] are based on Revelation as war, death and famine respectively. Gaigun seemed to be a spy of some sort for he can communicate with Albedo. Anyway, the cg is pretty nice for it is really like as if one is in this modern world though the character designs really need getting used to. The subtitles doesn’t jive and the dubbing isn’t timed with the mouth opening. ^^;
I also watched a part of this Korean comedy movie about a boy and a girl who loves playing games and computers that they are pretty good in hacking. The guy comes from a family of thieves while the girl’s family is from a family of police. During meeting of the parents, the girl’s father had the boy’s father arrested. They decided to call it quits and both wanted to be in the game industry only to find themselves forced to make a game together on the best robber/security game. Most of the movie is on how they tried to make the other quit.
The last scenario was they had a bet on stealing a treasure from this gangster-art collector, Shovel man [ I call him that since he kills with shovels. Hehehe] The guy’s group managed to trick them but the girl’s group used this fart gas which made the guy’s uncle sick. The guy is pretty angry about it for it is below the belt and decided to quit. The girl really missed him. Shovel man learned that his treasures were messed up so he tried to get even with the boy’s group. In the end, the two joined together to escape Shovel man and decided to get married after finishing the game. Unfortunately, the fathers are not too happy about that. Well, to make them agree to the marriage is another story.
I was going to watch I’LL which was lend to me by Asher. I had watched the first part but then, there is this program at the street that is so loud that I can even hear it from the other room. The first part is about this grey haired kid [I like his eyes] who wanted to go to another team while his ‘rival’ doesn’t want him to. The sceneries are nice...there are times the art is good and at times, not.
I almost didn’t recognize Allen of D. Grayman with one eye out and I think his hair grew longer. ^^; He seemed a bit different from before – grown up a bit? Well, he wanted to ask about what Rhode told him about Noah’s family but they aren’t telling him much. The funny scene here was Rabi wanting to call Allen bean sprout just like Kanda does. Hehehe Allen is somewhat confused for he wanted to ‘kill’ akumas and not humans as what Rhode is. He decided to take a walk but with his eye out, he doesn’t know which are people and which are akumas. Rabi then came to save him before he got hurt. Rabi’s weapon is a huge hammer. I somewhat like Rabi who reminds me of Tasuki of FY but then, I like Rabi better. Hehehe

I finally finished Star Ocean ^_^ after a few times of trying to beat that final boss. I did stick to the original trio whose level are the highest and changed some equipment. With some luck, that boss finally had it. Hahaha..well, the plot is really not good. After everything was supposedly being deleted by the ‘creator’. The world still exists because their mind and perception is still there..blah..blah. It is on philosophy about perception, sense and existence. Whatever. They all went back to their own lives. I’m pretty happy that Fayt didn’t ended up with Sophia. I wonder if I snubbed her in that starting private action. Next game will be Xenosaga 2. ^_^
Bro-in-law with sis was here yesterday. He brought his laptop so I can watch GSD. Actually, he is trying to put an external hard disk to mine but it won’t work. I just told him to burn the files into cds but he complains that it takes a long time to burn.
We had a marathon on GSD 3-16. His interest is not quite into it since he just wants to see the fights but then, near the middle, there are more talk than fights that he was tinkering with his cellphone. ^^;
The Commander of Plant seemed to be really eyeing on Anthrun when he suggest that they stay at the bridge for when Minerva was trapped. Anthrun couldn’t stay put and just have to say some advice on how to get out. ^^; He should be a captain of a ship! The enemy retreated again when their mother ship was damaged. Then, there is that usual Shinn bashing Cagalli who seemed to be overwhelmed by Shinn.
Their next problem was some coordinators wanted to destroy Earth by using a former colony to crash on Earth. Anthrun decided to help and even if his gundam was that ordinary one, he still managed to damage the enemy. He met up with Izak and Dearka who is also in a mission to break it up. Anthrun got saved by Shinn who somewhat look up to him. The meteor even in small pieces had made damage on Earth. The Atlantic Foundation wanted to use this opportunity to blame it on the coordinators so they wanted a war.
They landed on Earth and docked at ORB as Cagalli and Anthrun got off. Cagalli was met by the emirs and one of them is interested in Cagalli, Luna, I think that he snubbed Anthrun. Anthrun returned home and had a shower scene. ^^; He met up with Kira and Lacus. Later on, Anthrun decided to go back to Plant to discuss things and gave Cagalli a ring. After he left, the emirs ‘forced’ Cagalli to agree to fight against the coordinator.
When Anthrun was at the Plant, the naturals tried to destroy it with nuclear weapon but they have a hidden weapon and destroyed them all. Anthrun was then given a new gundam, Savior by the Commander as Anthrun decided to do something. He also met up with the fake Lacus, Mia Campbell, who also had the hots for him.
Back on Earth, the treaty was signed and before Cagalli knew it, she was being ‘forced’ to marry Luna. Minerva managed to escape but was held in ambush. Shinn managed to go ‘crazy’ and defeated all the ships that they were able to go to Carpenteria? for repairs. At the orphanage, some coordinators tried to assassinate Lacus but Kira on Freedom managed to stop them. He then got a letter from Cagalli about her marriage and she wanted to return Anthrun’s ring. On the wedding ceremony, Archangel went out as Kira went to ‘kidnap’ Cagalli. Kira told her that ORB shouldn’t have agreed to the treaty for waging war against another country isn’t right and that he has to stop her before she does more foolish things. Kira then gave her back Anthrun’s ring. Cagalli broke down and cried.
Anthrun had orders to meet up with Minerva again and he went to ORB only to be driven away. Anthrun went to Carpenteria and there he learned that ORB had signed the treaty and that Cagalli almost got married. Anthrun was pretty shock over the things that had happened while he was away. They were given orders to help out a country that is forced to sign the treaty.
Oh ya, Anthrun’s gundam is like a transformer. It can change into a jet. At the place, Neo [masked guy also known as Phantom Pain] had a base there and tried to attack Minerva with the stolen gundams. Anthrun told Shiin that he should report to him since Anthrun’s position is higher. Lunamaria and Rey are fighting against Auel underwater. Shiin kept on doing his thing and not listening to Anthrun. Even when the enemy retreated, Shinn just had to kill the military and help out the detainees. Anthrun gave him a slap because of that and another slap for answering back. Hehehe I guess Anthrun is better at disciplining than Rey. That is up to episode 16.
In D. Grayman, Rhode played with Allen psychologically by killing of an akuma. Allen tried to ‘save’ it by killing it with his innocence but he was too late. It isn’t nice to see it crying for help before dying. Allen was cursed so he can see them. The two then destroyed the last one of the akuma. Rhode is about to take her exit and told Allen that he shouldn’t cry over an akuma for no one would like him for that. She has taken a fancy on him.
It seemed that Miranda turning over time is just temporary for time has to move on and which would bring back Allen and Rinali’s present state. Allen told her it is okay since they are still alive. Komui went over to heal Allen and give him his new mission. Rinali is still out because of nerve damage. Allen was introduced to a new character, Rabi, the pirate looking one. Miranda wrote a letter of thanks to Allen as she is off to her new mission as an exorcist. Nice.

After the Valentine’s day bombing, there is talk again about the national id. Some say it is an invasion of privacy. I guess it comes down to paranoia of letting people know where one lives. For example, there is a contest in our newspaper to win a cellphone by just guessing what letter for a certain word. I asked mom if I could join. She said not since ‘they’ would know the cell number and address and would bug us. I guess it is just because there are many scams and unscrupulous people out there lately.
For now, our mayor do plan to have it though I’m not sure how tamper proof it is. Mmm..I wondered if Asher got her voter’s id already. Anyway, there are some suspects being captured already. It is pretty sad that one of the culprits was already known to be involved in the bombing of a ship and kidnapping of people before that the police still let this guy out to roam around.
The other headliner is about this ex-congressman and actor who was pinpointed out to be the mastermind of a kidnapping incident. He has a girlfriend [Chi-Fil] who provided the information. It is quite sad to know that the mother of the kid kidnapped was a best friend of the girlfriend since childhood. As of now, the kid is traumatized that the parents are already planning to move abroad. The husband and kids of the girlfriend had already gone abroad. The girlfriend tried to commit suicide. Of course, as usual, the friends [which includes showbiz people and politicians] and family of the ex-congressman believes that he was framed up.
In D. Grayman, Miranda’s power has awakened and sure enough, it is about time. It is quite a innovative way to show a ‘healing’ power. She just turned back time to make Allen’s body okay again like it was before. Allen grabbed Rinali and she was also okay now. They finished off the monsters and are about to go against Rhode. I think that each volume would be just one whole arc. Volume one is on Allen. Volume two is on Allen and Kanda. Volume three is on Allen and Rinali. I think the next volume would be on Allen and that new orange haired pirate looking exorcist.
Saiyuki reload is still in filler mode with this ‘demon’ painter. I didn’t bother with it since I’m trying to finish Star Ocean. Somehow I got lucky to be able to finish off one big boss and two minor bosses without any resurrection potions. My luck ran out against these three harpies. In the end, I could do nothing but head back out all the way again to buy some more potions and stuff. ^^; The characters are just too weak and I’m a bit too lazy to go whacking other monsters just to power up. It is pretty funny that when walkthroughs said that this is easy, I had a hard time winning that battle and if it is hard, I managed to finish the enemy without help. ^^; How ironic.

I had re-subscribed to SB! ml and realized my mistake about Ren’s past. It wasn’t Ren’s past but the character he is playing’s past. Geez, no wonder it didn’t quite jive with Ren’s personal problem. Otherwise, more or less, how I understand stuff is right. ^_^ They had translated the latest chapter already. Bou, Kyouko chicken is helping Ren but isn’t helping much since Ren is asking about love. She managed to irritate Ren since she is stumping on imaginary Shou the cockroach since she couldn’t tell him about her love life.
Ren was so angry that she isn’t listening that he had pulled out the Bou’s chef hat. Lol. Somewhere else, Oogata was trying to cover up Ren’s problem with the president who already knew that Ren is indeed having a problem because of the cover-up. He is reprimanding Ren mentally for not listening to him. His outfit is cute here..nothing less of what can be expected from the president who loves to wear different costumes. Hehehe Meanwhile Bou is pretty angry as Ren said that they had already fixed the hat. Ren kept on laughing about it that somewhat relieved stress. Ren was about to leave when Bou tried to change the approach by asking if he was attracted to someone as to a girl that she is cute. Ren thought of Kyouko and Bou was pretty happy about it for it is something. As a fan said, Kyouko is actually convincing Ren that he is in love with her. ^^;; Hehehe
I had downloaded D. Grayman again for those character profiles. The author is aiming for different nationalities here. Allen is British. Komui and Rinali are Chinese. Kanda is Japanese. River is Australian and the cook is Thai. In chapter 23, Rhode told Allen that she is human with special abilities like ‘resurrection’ and she treats people as ‘nothing’. She used his arm to kill her but she revives again. She then used this opportunity to stab Allen’s eye. =( Allen tried to fight but was outnumbered. Rhode tried to kill Miranda [unlucky woman] but Allen still tried to shield her. Miranda tried to run away at first then when back to Allen. At the end, she seemed to be able to use her innocence. Why is this series somewhat reminding me of AS? ^^;; Maybe because of the some similiarities they have in one way or another.
What a great way to end PoT series as in let the Japanese anime go further before the Chinese catches up. Everyone was worked up with the doubles and training. Everyone thought that it was the Fudomine guy who caused Kirihara’s fall. The end was Ryoma getting something from under a cabinet and says that he knows who the culprit is. The ending was played and that means, they are going to stop PoT’s run. Nice. Inu Yasha would replace this one.
Magic Mi lu Mi lu has also ended. The little sprites managed to go back to their human partners for they missed each other and found their lives somewhat lacking. The guy told the two girls that he is interested in them both and someday, he will be able to choose which of them he really liked. The rich boy is glad for he still had a chance with the lead girl. Then, the flute girl will go to Germany to further her studies and her sprite was the ‘witch’ who used to be their enemy. All ends well and the end. The replacement is MRRyuuki. I guess they are going to finish that one.

I had just finished cleaning most of the aquariums and it happened again. I was just removing the hose from one of the flowerhorns and I guess it is hungry already and thought that my finger is food. Yum. ^^; I got bitten again – though a different fish. My, it got really nice small sharp teeth already. Sure enough, it bled a bit.
I re-read D. Grayman and I realized that the ones I download from a another site doesn’t have the character profiles. Argh. Just when I want to know about Kanda, Rinali and Komui. I would have to download it again. Since as usual, my curiosity can’t be contained at times that I peek at the Chinese scans. The next arc would be about a vampire and a new exorcist – red head pirate looking guy. It is his turn to bond with Allen. I found some fanarts in this site. Mm..lots of Kanda..well, that is not entirely unbelievable. There is really something about anti-social guys with a katana. ^_^ I really beginning to like this manga.
In PoT, it is the all Jap team against an American team. The Jap team are training with three different coaches. There is that doubles match of Inui and his closed eye friend vs Fuji and his bsho friend. I think Fuji won. Then, there is Kirihara irritating one of Fudomine guys, which ended with Kirihara being pushed from the stairs. It suddenly became a detective story – who pushed Kirihara. ^^;; Sorry, I’m lazy to look up the names.
Magic Mi Lu [2x] is going to end. The flute girl just used her magic to make the bad guy disappear and it order to repair the damage. The little ‘ones’ have to return to their own world. Mm..sounds like Digimon. The end scene was they are back at the concert and forgot about the little ‘ones’. I’m looking at times at Saiyuki Reload. It is a filler episode on a bug, which can control people. It is hard to watch 3 episodes at the same time. HxH Greed Final is more on getting things to become cards ala Card Captor. ^^;

Last night, we went to my niece’s choir concert. It didn’t start on time though and they were singing some of the pieces in foreign language. I’m guessing it is European – French, Italian or German. Bro-in-law said that there was a Japanese though I highly doubt that for I would know if it is Japanese. I try to focus on the piano piece which by itself is nice. The pianist is my sister’s friend.
Since we left late, I was able to watch KnGB and OP before we left. Hehehe KnGB finishes of that episode as Shion tried to be strong and managed to dent the mirror and that gave Kiyomaru and Gash the victory. I think I missed the episode on how they got that electric dragon attack. The next episode is just a silly episode. In OP, the group managed to re-group. The next episode would be their picnic with large bonfire. ^_^ The filler arc in Yugioh is about to be finished.
It was only yesterday that I realized that I forgot to tell bro-in-law that I can play GSD that he didn’t burn any of the episodes anymore. ^^; That third episode is a good cliffhanger. He watched it with me yesterday as I re-watch it with matching sounds. He kind of like it even though I somewhat had a hard time explaining stuff since he didn’t get to watch the first episode as to who is bad guy and who is the good guy and who the heck Anthrun was and what’s the big deal about him. Hehehe
About the new layout, I got the idea from browsing wallpapers as I try to get a fastbreak blog pic since I will not be able to finish the other one in time. I saw someone use this pic for a wallpaper but I don’t quite like the way it was made or rather scanned since it is somewhat grayish and not all out black. I just got my own art book, which was mistakenly bought by ego uncle when I was asking him to buy something else though at the end, this artbook turned out to be quite helpful in many ways. ^^; The lyrics was gotten just typing key words in Anime lyrics and this one is good according to sis.
