Quote of the day, and Generation

I had this in my head as I see it…. it is too much of a waste to not use it as a quote of the day kind of things.

Ginrei: Kouga’s heart was filled with hatred as I was too strict with him. So, I let Byakuya do whatever he wishes and he became so hardhearted (cold). Seriously, raising them (boys) up is too hard.

Ichigo: There are a lot of books in the real world about raising children. Maybe you can use some of them.

Byakuya: Do not put ideas into my Grandfather’s head.

Assumsions:

1. “Them” refers to boys as Ginrei seems to find no trouble with girls.
2. It is ichigo who adviced Ginrei…. if I am not wrong.

Just another day

Where I just feel like blogging. While I was waiting for my friend to visit, I started editing the photos of the alice in wonderland cosplay…. and that was stopped when she came over, and we started talking about other things. We ended up in doing a voice-recording of a fanfiction last minute created (influenced by my voice-recording of fanfiction teaser and need of more people … so one person do many voices, and … I told her, since you are here, might as well we do some recording). I think it is our voice, to tell the others that even if it is a fanfiction, there are rules in which things cannot be trespassed. Say, ranks… you can’t just make your character do all the hero things just because you want them to shine… a plot lacking development will only raise questions and doubts and disguist readers, in the long run.

So we did this thing, and I am gg to edit it, no matter how bad it is ….. Ohh yes, I think we didn’t work well, having to handle working with each other for voice-recording is the first time for both of us… you have to be shy… I tink.

But before that, I finished up my first edits of the photos, and I must say, I am pleased with the results (I am pleased with anything so long as it look good). Only… I think I may have stared at the details and everything of the photos for too long.. my eyes………

Deserved it

It came into my attention, a video of a young women in the countdown party who was being molested by 4 men simultaneously, and onlookers merely took photos of the men, and videos as well.

The girl is in bikini and drunk, and seemed unable to fend for herself, and onlookers were just removing their digital cameras and phones out of their pockets to take photos.

In this kind of suitation, what should you have done as an onlooker? I hear some of the guys (most of their) comments that she deserved it, and it kinds of irks me. Whether or not she choose to come to the party and her attire and how she got drunk does not matter! We all know that we ourselves may have a time where we need something positive to inject into our life. For some people, that seems to be a countdown party at a beach. And one thing leads to another – it is not entirely uncommon to find people in beach wearing bikini, and it is neither uncommon to find people drinking alcohol during parties. So it is a series of bad events that the girl is going thru.

Instead of saying that she deserved it, could you have been more compassionate? Even if ultimately, she is a girl that does not deserves compassionate, what is the problem is not the girl. More then the girl, the PROBLEM are the men and the onlookers.

Are we humans to become wallpapers or digital cameras themselves? Is this our new role?

Help

It don’t matter how big a mistake you make, so long as you remember them and don’t make them again, I keep telling myself. To myself who keep making mistakes ignorantly, I can only say these, and thank you, my friends who always come and say, what happened to this and that? and offering their help…

I hope there is a day where I can finally stop relying so much on my friends. I want to be that me. But yet, it is quite disheartening to keep making mistakes. But even then, I know that they cannot always be right, so I can’t blame them if something bad happens. It is very hard trying to be adult about things, but you know you just have to be reasonable. I will hope with all of my heart that nothing bad happens, because I know I love my friends too much to blame them for anything, and esp if they don’t mean it.

No longer trying to do something, because I don’t think I can muster up enough energy to face failure. But in actual fact, it is not knowing what will happen that keeps me stagnant… it is the same when I had that part time job. Nothing changed, I realised.

Treat… with Mac

I wonder what I did to deserve a treat today, though I was happy enough to receive it when my mother called. What I did was only to help her with an errand. It hardly deserves any MacDonald’s. (Yes, that is the treat.) Still, I was happy to receive it, until of course, the meaness of the day came and attacked me fully. I don’t feel enough energy to do anything, but if I do not continue on my work on TSTCTL, I would be too much jinxed. Ohh, what blabberish am I typing today?

P.S. did I mention that I hate girls like Orihime and Kagome, who always interfer in a fight? Oh hate me if you do, but I do dislike ppl who enter into a fight against other’s wishes. Arhhh! Respect those fighters, Dude! Er, I mean, ladies!

Oh, and while I am at it, I might as well nag… I just wish that Inuyasha has better graphics and animation.. I mean, I know the thing about animation is *magic!* and how the people can recover in like, a even before you manage to clap your hands, but seriously… what makes you think that a monk who is injured in venom can carry a girl and run quickly? Even if he can (Which he most probably can given the circumstances), he would be distracted with his injuries and not run like a normal person running. He would be faltering and picking himself up before he collaspes and etc. And what is this about a perfect circle. Or something that looks too much like a circle. I mean, if a demon puts his hands into another demon, the hole that is made, even if it is made, is not a circle. Shouldn’t it be a more natural shape?? AHHH! Come on! I know Inuyasha is not like top-notched, but at least give me something better! Worse is, a girl is hit by a supposedly very powerful attack by a very powerful demon, and she fainted that needed help. But suddenly, she can wake up and when she wake up, she looks and acts as good as new!!! *faints*

If these were actually what happened (as I had prefered, not what the animation shows), the entire scene who have been more touching and better… I mean, the collection of emotions was just … evaporated into thin air after you so painstakingly build it up… such a waste of emotions, isnt it?

P.S.S. I have no idea how this post accidentally becomes an anime post, but Sesshoumaru is VERY …. *nosebleed* ok, enough fangirling. I wish Inuyasha had not cut of his arms!!! Arrghh!!! His perfect body.

New skin

New year, new skin (theme)…. OH yes, I finally abandoned the old one… I have no idea why. It is just that I had wanted to make do away with it for sometime now. There are so many inconveniences with that one. And I finally updated my badges… took long enough.

But, I din change the header picture. I think I am seriously too lazy for words.

Oh ya, a new socialvibe sponsor and charity… Do help! Thanks guys, in advance!

Netizens

This place is too much peppered with fans and people are rarely sensible. Thus, when critics of true reasons came, everyone is shocked and talks. Everyone was just too busy trying to be nice, yes, they are. We do not necessary needs critics, but we do need sensible people who can and are not fearful of expressing their opinions.

Make-up Artist

For a piece of paper.

It came as a crazy idea, after I had sketched a piece of drawing for my cousin, but ended up declaring it as not proper as a birthday present. With that, I left this piece of paper alone and worked on my cousin’s portrait sketch with a fresh piece of paper. This old piece of paper is then left alone until last night (coincidentally this morning) where I was too bored and decided to use my idea of making it into a make-up artwork… It has been something in my mind for sometime, and I think, if not for the extreme boredom, I would not have done it.

So I found myself with a lot of glittery cosmetics on my hand at the end of the day…..

Still, looking at the end result, I would think it is rather worth it.

Artwork by Ultimate Dammation

Of course, I have no idea why the photo turned out this way…. Definitely something wrong with phototaking skills……. *coughs*

I was at the library today, looking for Alice in Wonderland. I ended up instead with 2 snow queens, 1 nutcracker and 1 arthur. I think it is a slight inclination now, to go to children section to look for fairy tales or myths to read. They are easy to ready and most imaginative. I think I shall go source for more when I am done with these 4 books.

Accomplishments and joyous events

We happened to talk about what that happened that we are glad of this past year… and always, when you have a friend, it is way easier to remember what you did, or something good that happened. She and her friend had complied a list of what good things that happened, and she said that it is impossible to do the list without her friend.

She asked me when I said that I did not accomplish anything, “What about the challenge?”

She continued on to ask, “how many cosplay did you do?”

I was surprised, but here you go.
My accomplishments in 2009 are as listed:
Completed a short story, in draft and re-write now.
Completed a novel challenge, in manuscript versions.
Interviewed and talked to 3 friends and wrote an essay each for them.
Cosplayed once successfully.
Did a few successful photoshoots and editing. My future as a photopgraher is not bright, but then again, I am more of a writer.

2010

I thought I might make a list of what I had done and completed to make a mark of a new chapter..

but when i think about it, there ain’t really anything for me to put on the list.

all i had were small items that weren’t even worth mentioning. Then, I realised what this means. Does this means that this year is a year of realising what you have to do and nothing more? As in there is so much more to do, and sometimes we don’t realise it, and this is a year that moved so slowly so that we know what we have to do in order to move forward – we have to find the way, and only when the time moves slowly can we truly find out. Something like that.
