SNOW BOUND LAND

PRETTY ART

AND I LIKE IVAN'S DESIGN.

I actually like long-haired guys. Straight hair a waterfall

But character design aside, I'm more interested in the OST. OP is done by Shikata Akiko. *wibbles*

I like crack. I like parodies. They amuse me. It is a sure way to lighten up serious moods

I like Free! and I don't think it's mere fanservice despite what was shown in the anime. I don't care what others think, but I don't have any shipping preference here. Well, I like HaruXRinXMakoto, mostly in a purely platonic manner. I tend to prefer OT3s and above if I can help it. It broadens perspective, plus it books far lesser arguments than OTPs, namely because some people can be annoying when they insist "their OTP is perfect while everyone else's suck."

Still, I've long decided to give up on fixated 2D shipping because the fujoushis grate on my nerves when they dismiss the girls. Like, give the girls some respect won't you? Not all are irritating or useless. I can say the same for irritating and useless guys.

Maybe it's just me. I'm not gender prejudiced. I can't care less if the character is male or female - if they grate on my nerves, that's it. End of story.

Give me toku shipping. It's more fun.

PUDDING PHOTOBOOK

PUDDING'S PHOTOBOOK IS RELEASED TODAY

Release Your Spirit High

I.love.this.song

I really do. It's my favourite Maple soundtrack.



Something to listen to when you're bored XD

And...

*drumroll*

MAPLE OSTS~~~

=====

I am in a good mood. Today, Pudding's photobook is released.

=====

Watched Free! episode 4, and couldn't stop laughing at the swimsuit modelling XDDDD

And yes, I created a Xenon called NHaruka (because someone stole NanaseHaruka already. What is this). He'll be my storage character - I don't have the patience to retrain the same character class, seriously. Not after I took almost a month to get DJ up to level 100. Well, I need storage characters to store my mastery books, weapons, potions which I don't use (clear all the untradeables first!).

Hahahaha now I'm quite fired up to cosplay Xenon, as long as people don't mistake him for Haruka. I will kill things, I swear. Like dude, does Haruka have Lutie? Huh?

*snickers*

Maple character levels so far

151 RRyotarou (main)
128 Lleiddiad (second)
105 Rhithllafn (fourth)
100 DiemwntJ (third)
98 Tywyllwch
91 AsurDdraig (fifth)
84 Zekkenshi
81 Sibrwd
76 NosCerddwrII
47 Dialydd
27 FflamMeistr
23 AwelCyflym

These are my Maple characters' levels up to date. Blue ones are more active, though currently I am trying to level DJ up to 4th job. My long term goals are for RRyotarou to hit 170, Lleiddiad, Rhithllafn and DJ to hit 140, AD to hit 130, and the rest at my own pace....which is kinda slow, but well, I'm not a hardcore gamer. To make it this far is in fact a miracle, knowing how I don't complete games.

Edit: HOLY SHIET XENON'S 4TH JOB IS BLOODY INSANE. I am gawking at the sheer numbers. I swear, I am going to bring him to higher levels for sure.

I am taking my time with my main. If you ask why I'm so slow training him, please note that he is a mere normal explorer with weaker attacks than the other classes. Training him is tedious and preferably through PQs and MPs. But because he is my first character, he will always be my baby. As of now I am waiting for the Red update so that we normal explorers are equipped with skills to beat the Black Mage.

Brothers Conflict (not the best site, but I only need to know the seiyuu haha)

I KNEW IT. TSUBAKI'S SEIYUU IS SUZUKEN. AND AZUSA IS TORIUMI. DUDE, SUZUKEN WAS USING HIS RYUUTA VOICE, HOW CAN I NOT RECOGNISE??!! I'm not going to talk about Suwabe (he voices Kaname).

Hmm....I don't see a favourite so far....not yet. Ok, the twins, Iori and Louis. I guess. XD

Why am I watching anime? Because, there is a Maple server check.

Once I finish my book, I will dump anime into my touchpad and bring it as entertainment on my way to work. It's how I used to catch up on toku and anime when I went to school (yes, I had no time to watch at home. And I wasn't even mapling okay. Schoolwork + night classes + FYP + VAS).

Well, I know, when I formally start work, I won't have a lot of time to maple either.

PUDDING

LIFE-RUINER

DAMN I WANTED TO CATCH THIS LIVE.

PUDDING YOU LIFE-RUINER

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tns-ch1

DAMN

8PM JAPAN TIME

DAMN

I WON'T BE ABLE TO CATCH IT ON TIME

PUDDING PROMOTING HIS PHOTOBOOK, TO BE RELEASED ON 25 JULY.

TWO DAYS FROM NOW

Devil Survivor 2! Okay, gotta reiterate. My favourite characters are Yamato and Alcor. My OT3 is Yamato, Hibiki and Alcor. But I'm not possessive over Yamato; slightly more over Alcor. Because there are very few characters I am possessive over.

Joe Gibken
Hiwatari Satoshi
Hyuuga Neji
Kuchiki Byakuya
Tao Ren

To name a few. But especially Joe. He's ranked top among all my favourite characters so far.

Out of the Shin Megami Tensei demons, I really like Lucifer, Byakko, Suzaku, Cerberus. And where is Seiryuu~ Well, coz I've been reading a bit too many urban fantasy stories, and my headcanon for Lucifer is pretty much influenced by the Fallen series, by Thomas E Sniegovski. He is not an evil person. He is very, very beautiful, Lucifer the Morningstar. A sad being, because he cannot seek redemption. I see Satan and Lucifer as different beings, haha.

Out of the Seven archangels, I like Uriel, Raphael and Gabriel. Ok, anyone with the title of Angel of Death simply gains my immediate attention. So even in Makai Ouji, I really like Uriel. Hmm, I like Makai Ouji's Zacheriel too.

Fall anime 2013

I don't see many I want to watch. I guess it's a good thing - I've been Mapling everyday, so much that I'm not updated with Kyoryuger, I haven't started Brothers Conflict, Makai Ouji, Gin no Saji.

Well, at least I'm not back at the period of time where I completely didn't watch any anime because I was reading lots of manga and fanfics.

=====

I can handle loneliness.

I can handle boredom.

I can handle ignorance.

I can handle irritation.

I can handle anger.

I am a warrior, a survivor, and once I set my mind on things, nothing will stop me.

Starman Kono Hoshi no Koi

http://weavesilk.com/

THIS SITE IS SO THERAPEUTIC. THE MUSIC, THE RANDOM DESIGNS.

OTL

Speaking of which, I need to start working on Phantom's card designs....

http://www.basilmarket.com/show/guide/431/0/Phantom_Guide.html

=====

Watching Starman Kono Hoshi no Koi now. I should watch ItaKiss soon....soon...er....right. Just to see Pudding. And more Pudding. How can you resist a Pudding in a towel unless you're not his fan?

SOTA IS SO HANDSOME DAMMIT. It's hard to remember that he's 3 years younger than me.

BUT BUT SO CUTE HOW SAWA (THE LEAD HEROINE)'S YOUNGEST CHILD SHUN RAN TOWARDS SOTA YELLING "PAPA!" AND HUGGED HIS LEGS. SO CUTEEEEEE.

As always, I am bedazzled by Sota's smile. DAMMIT. I REALLY LOVE HIS SMILE. HIM AND PUDDING BOTH.

AND HOLY SHIT PUDDING YOU HAVE A DRIVING LICENSE??!! Aiyo so cute, trying to hide your relationship ahahaha. Aiyo Pudding and his love for baseball hahahaha. And holy shiet Sota that was really cool. That move was really cool. But he's so clumsy and blur it's cute >///< Even his speech is very halting and all OTL

I still think Pudding should act something less derpy to expand his acting skills. Joe was cool, which I like a lot. His subsequent characters are more derpy. I want to see a psycho Pudding, if it were possible.

Now I feel like writing some crossover drabble crossing this series and Fourze.

You know, I think it's time for me to start writing MapleStory and toku fanfics again....

I added Matsuzaka Tori and Chiba Yudai on LINE.

OTL

Someday, I will summon the courage to create a twitter account, and follow all my Japanese idols who have them. ><

Someday.

I never really bothered with Twitter. I don't even write that many FB statuses unless I really want to shout out to the world. Like "NO MORE EXAMS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE" or "I'VE GRADUATEDDDDDDDDDDD"

But meh. My thoughts are my own.

My confirmed cosplans

I've decided. The following list will be my confirmed, I-must-do-before-I-quit-for-good cosplays.

This later half of the year, my cosplans are:
DN Angel Dark (STGCC)
KamiAso Hades (STGCC)
TWEWY Neku
Karneval Yogi (Christmas shoot?)

No more than that. I need a cap to all plans.

Next year, my confirmed cosplans are:
MapleStory Phantom (Cosfest + shoot)
RPG KuroBasu Murasakibara (shoot)
Gokaiger Joe with weapons (shoot)

Someday I will complete:
Psycho-Pass Makishima (shoot)
Garo Rei (shoot and/or event)
Gokaiger Dark!Joe
MapleStory Xenon
MapleStory Kaiser (only after I have sufficient space in the house)

This will serve as nice backup plans for events if I have nothing to cosplay but I find myself with sufficient time to at least get started on the props.

My final cosplay will be:
Aion Bard

No more. When I start work, I will probably only have time to cosplay for Cosfest, or not even cosplay for events at all. More like, plan for photoshoots instead. But I know for sure, my final cosplay must be Aion's Bard. Because it will equate the amount of effort and money I put into the details of the costume. Plus it serves as a nice costume at costume parties. That and Phantom and RPG Mukkun, haha.

High chance, I will devote my personal life to music and making outfits for my bears and making stuff in general.

Ok self, please note that games DO NOT RULE YOUR LIFE. Who cares how high someone's level is, or how excellent someone's equipment is, or how much time someone spends grinding away just to level up. You are playing this game, you are still playing this game, because you kinda enjoy it. When you are busy, do you play the game? No. Because you know your work is more important. This is already an indication that games don't control you.

So why are you letting things get on your nerves? Why are you getting worked up over things for? What others do is their own goddamn problem, not yours. Don't know, don't care, not my business, won't affect my life whether I know it or not. It's the attitude people try to have ("Nah, come on, it's not your problem, why are you getting so worked up for?"), and the very same attitude which pisses people off as well.

("Dude, pot calling kettle black? Don't tell me it's a different matter - the underlying issue is the same. You are getting worked up over things that do not concern you.

"Don't tell me to calm down when you aren't doing what you told me to. I will shoot you back with the very same words you once said to me.")

Yes, tell yourself you are playing because you enjoy it. Tell yourself, don't concern myself with others' issues that don't affect your being as a whole. The world revolves on its own. The world doesn't care what you do. No one owes you anything, neither do you owe people something.

At the end of the day, I believe I will become a saint.

A saint with a smile so cold, the inferno will freeze over.

=.=

Free!

I'm taking a break from Maple, and watching Free. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw Haru - where can I find the wig, because I can use it for Xenon!

*bricked*

But I actually like the show. It's so fun. I like the ending song. I like the OST. And Kyoani's animation is superb as usual.

I haven't watched Shingeki no Kyojin ever since Cosfest, because I'm busy mapling and searching for jobs. Well, once I start work, I will have a weekly and monthly timetable out for sure.

Things I want/need to do after I start work:

1. Japanese lessons
2. Violin lessons
3. Props =.= Gotta get those wings cracking. And boot covers. And start planning for Phantom's Raven Persona.
4. Make outfits for Pudding and Yuki
5. Maple during my free time

I'll probably still be teaching piano, unless my work also encompasses the weekends, then good luck to me.

Let's go let's gokaiger~

Seeing all the Gokai pictures from Cosfest, I'm more amused than anything. I mean, I don't see a need to be envious or anything because I have my own awesome team and we aim to have a last shoot WITH WEAPONS. They have Basco - WE HAVE GAI. WE CAN MOVE FORWARD TO THE LAST EPISODE AND EMERGE VICTORIOUS.

Yes, I can imagine more scenes we can do.....

I am still very proud of our photo with the Gokai Galleon - best photo ever hands down.

I definitely want to do dark!Joe someday.

Maple Red and onore Pudding

The fishcakes THIS IS AWESOME THE POWER OF THE REVAMPED EXPLORERS HELL YEAH. PLUS MY SIN IS ALREADY 4TH JOB SO WE CAN EXPERIENCE ALL THE JOB SKILLS WAHAHAHAHAHA

PUDDING AND SOTA I WANT TO WATCH THIS DRAMA Starman ~Kono Hoshi no Koi~ LIKE NOW.

http://silverwind.tumblr.com/post/55077371221/so-have-you-decided-where-youll-get-your-yamada

Damn you Pudding, damn you. 11 different covers depending on where you order. WHAT IS THIS YOU MONEY SUCKER. I CAN'T DECIDE BETWEEN ANIMATE, AMAZON OR FAMIMA. OR WONDER GOO

Damn you Watanabe Entertainment. What is this man. Probably shows how popular Pudding is (because of Gokaiger? ItaKisu?), still, 11 covers???

toku fanfics

SuzuKen, Kamiyan, wtf

But it's nice knowing that our favourite seiyuu also watch toku. Kids at heart, all of them XD

My brain shortcircuited when I read a Joe/Ucchi drabble.

HOLY SHIET I HAVE THIS YEARBOOK. Coz Sakia was debating whether to buy it, looking at the treasures she found at Shinsaibashi's Bookoff. So I decided to buy it instead just to see what's inside.

Summer anime 2013

I might be watching (in no order):

1. Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist
2. Hakkenden 2
3. Blood Lad
4. Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi
5. Brothers Conflict
6. Free
7. Gin no Saji

Honestly, I am amazed by the Kyoani commercial for Free, but I'm not following the hype. Out of these 8, the ones I really want to watch are Makai Ouji, Hakkenden 2 and Blood Lad. Brothers Conflict, I will watch to see how the story goes in the anime, and hang around for the music.

Otoge music is nice. You can't deny it.

*runs off to watch toku*

And yes, Cosfest is tomorrow and Sunday. So not looking forward to Saturday....except to meet people.

Daishi Dance x Pia-no-jaC

XENONNNNNNNNNN

I've no time to play him until I finish my props. THEN I will pack my stuff for Cosfest, debate whether to bring my laptop (damn you FYP, damn you).

I....will keep my temper in check. Those random, hot-tempered outbursts of mine are mere facades to mask the underlying coldness in me. It is merely an expression of cold irritation, not establishing who I am. Should I one day NOT say something like " I will kill you after breaking you limb by limb." when I'm irritated, how would you feel?

Get me something to do so that I can do away with useless emotions that make me seem narrow-minded and spiteful (even if the other party is at fault. Arguing with them, getting worked up over them, will simply be a waste of my energy which I can put to better use.)

Please get me off Facebook for longer periods of time. I'm not even as active poster - statuses?  Screw photos. Games? My attention span is short. I'm more surprised I'm still playing Maple - must be the new classes and PQs and events.

→Pia-no-jaC←

Suddenly got the urge to play my piano, which is collecting dust. And I dug out the →Pia-no-jaC← scores I bought in Osaka. My favourite song is 台風 and 雪月花, but I do like 残月 and 花火 ～HANABI～ too. Ok, I guess 台風 and 残月 are kinda out of my league for now (unless I sit at the piano everyday to practise as if I were learning diploma), but I can still sightread 雪月花 and Hanabi.

When I sit my butt in front of the piano that is.

I should. I am quite tired of not having songs to play. That, and my greatest wish is to cosplay a music-related character.

My next arrangement might be Kotonoha.

XENON

XENON WILL BE OUT ON WEDNESDAY.

CAN I NOT GO COSFEST THIS WEEKEND??!!

XDDDD

At least Sibrwd and AsurDdraig have reached level 70, meaning I got the 5 Heroes headpiece for Sibrwd. 8D Dammit Maple, I am torn between playing Xenon or concentrating on AsurDdraig first (until he hits 4th job)

I deleted my light Luminous. Was thinking of creating a Wild Hunter in his place, or save the spot for some other class (maybe a UE), coz it's quite troublesome to transfer items from Delphinus to Eridanus, especially when I've no help currently. Everyone's busy with Cosfest stuff; so am I. (I wanted Cannon Shooter but the class isn't available now due to the introduction of Nova race, Luminous and Demons) I'm still collecting crossbow arrows - shitty things aren't rechargeable like stars.

I think...I should play my Evan....one day....and my DA....who's still stagnating at level 46...*innocent whistle* I mean, at the very least get them to level 50 right? All the PQs >< But my main warrior is Kaiser. Main mage is Luminous. Main thief.....er.....all my thieves are at least 3rd job.Main bowman is Mercedes. No pirate, unless you count Xenon who is a hybrid.....and when Xenon comes.....I'll play him to 4th job as well.....For some reason, Angelic Buster is a pirate...But no, my warriors are male. No pink, bimbotic mahou shoujo in my arsenal thank you. I hate battling her in Faceoff too; AB and Mihile both. Asshats =.=

Pudding and Yuki

My bears, which I bought from Korea, are called Pudding and Yuki. They will be my cosplay bears, and I am thinking of making Kaiser final form armour for one of them. Well, I might as well try making armour on a smaller scale and see if I will be motivated enough to make for myself.

And yes I would want to make Kaiser armour if I am successful with the mini version. ONCE I HAVE THE SPACE IN THE HOUSE.
