Movies to watch/download

Taken from Facebook.

I am eyeing:

1. How to Train Your Dragon 2
2. Guardians of the Galaxy
3. The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies
4. The Avengers: Age of Ultron
5. Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
6. Star Trek 3
7. Captain America 3
8. X-Men Apocalypse

Yeah. Pretty much. The rest hold little interest to me. I've already watched X-Men: Days of Future Past, and will be watching Maleficent today. Anything else will depend on whether I have the time, and whether the trailers hold my interest.

Yes.

Because romance is boring.

Especially this: Platonic, non-sexual partnerships that are put on the same level as committed romantic partnerships.

I am a great fan of close platonic relationships. I don't care if it turns romantic or not, but heck, just look at them. You can call them married, but we all know they are really, really close friends. Sometimes, romance will not work out between them, hence they would rather remain as friends.

Look at this face.

Look at the face of a kitty who gives no fucks.

Look at the angry tick marks that imply many things that will irk the beholder.

Small wonder I got labelled insensitive bastard who can't say nice words to people. Too bad. Either I shut up, or you face my tongue. It's not that I'm insensitive - I'm sarcastic, and pretty much unimpressed by many.

And that includes others telling me off or talking behind my back about how shitty my attitude is.

I am aware of my attitude. But I am not going to change it just because you say so - mainly because I don't see you changing YOUR attitude.

Pot calling kettle black.

I listen.

Whether I heed your words is another matter altogether.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

I watched X-Men: Days of Future Past with friends. It was really good. And the way those Sentinels kill the surviving mutants was really brutal - tearing them apart, stuffing the face into the molten lava, burning until the body exploded etc. But what the heck, suppressing the human race and killing all the mutants because humans can produce mutants in their offspring? Seriously? That's taking things too far, and your own fault you stupid xenophobic humans.

I agree with my friend - it'll be really cool to have an X Men/Avengers crossover. Think of all the possibilities, really. Chaos, anyone? XD

Haha, once I mentioned I would like the mutant power of controlling air and water molecules, which I can squeeze the life out of anyone because of the blood in the body. But it's just a nice thought - once you see the Sentinels you'll be like, my power is no use. Unless I can control that changing element used in the development of the Sentinels as well.

I want something I can do large-scale, effectively and deadly. Fast. Destructive. To others and to myself, because every power comes a weakness.

Duh.

Dear Joe Gibken

http://bonjourentrez.tumblr.com/post/6536574708/in-which-trey-thinks-way-too-much-about-fictional

I happen to see this post (albeit 2 years later) on Tumblr and I have to say, yes, I love Joe, partly because he is a kuudere and therefore a character I would definitely like, and partly because I too identify very strongly with him (compared to most other tokusatsu characters in fact). But I kinda disagree with some of the points stated.

Joe is flawed, but he's beautifully crafted. The points stated are what I experience as well, and let's not forget we grow up in different environments, but I believe Joe is a stubborn, determined individual who is emotionally stunted because he was raised in an environment where he cannot be seen as weak. He is loyal to Marvelous because Marvelous saved him from death and gave him new purpose, a new life. You cannot blame him for wanting to protect his Captain at the expense of himself. (I am seeing some Spock/Kirk here OTL)

I don't see think he has low self-esteem. Some people cannot take praise and recognition because, they are humble, they think it's not necessary, they don't need it. In my case, I am not embarrassed - I outright deny. And I don't have low self-esteem because I am comfortable with myself.

Because of his background, he doesn't like asking for help. He'd rather solve his own problems, because he thinks it is his responsibility and no one should be dragged into it. Also, to him it is a matter of survival and I cannot blame him for not wanting to accept help from the crew. Masking pain is a problem only because most of us find it unhealthy to bottle up emotions. Sure, I do the same too, and I cannot deny that. Hiding one's pain via anger, humour and isolation is a common trait in most of the anime and manga I read, but I also interpret this as being unable to express himself openly, due to the environment he grew up with. Personally I don't see anything wrong with doing that, it doesn't make him a lesser person, and now that he has a crew and captain to care for, well, you just need a cool person on board this chaotic ship, right?

I love how complex Joe's seemingly bland personality is. People might find him boring, and I don't blame them. Yet beneath that default expression (expression? What expression?) lies a turmoil of emotions all waiting to be released at one shot. He is not an angry person. I find him admirable that he can feel so much and yet be able to control himself, releasing them only when he battles. At least he has a source to vent. Not too bad.

Happy 24th birthday, Yuyan!

SO.PINK.

Lyssa Zampa

A Lyssa Zampa, or Tropical Swallowtail Moth, appeared on my office door!

Haha, I must be lucky then. I see them quite often whenever they're in season and in my country. I remember being fascinated because they're moths but they look like huge butterflies.

=====

I don't believe this. Star Trek/Avengers fusion fic. Jim as Iron Man, Carol as Pepper, Bones as Cap (and foul mouthed and grumpy), Spock as Hulk, Nyota as Black Widow, Sulu as Hawkeye, Chekov as Thor.

I cannot fathom why this is so perfect. FYI I really don't ship McKirk (Bones/Kirk) because, I see them as platonic. Best friends. I don't mind a Spock/Kirk/McCoy threesome, but my OTP is forever Spock/Kirk. Better yet, I knew of these names and this pair way before I watched the 2009 movie (just recently).

I don't know why.

【生活情報讚】「日」字加一筆，你最先想到什麽字？(心測)

If you were to add a stroke to the word 「日」, where would you place it?

I think of 田 then 白

田:

此種類型的人喜歡思考、追求知識、渴望比人知得多，懂得快，喜歡運用自己的智慧和理論去駕馭他人，他們冷靜，機智，分析力強，好學不倦，善於理性，有邏輯地去處理問題並將情感抽離，不喜歡自己的空間受到騷擾。
性格傾向：內向，被動，自我，喜歡思考，關註探究，喜歡尋求孤零感覺，不喜歡自己的空間受到騷擾，不擅長對他人說好聽的話，喜歡獨自解決問題或獨自計劃並執行一項計劃，喜歡一個人獨自思考、觀察、並找尋生命的意義，是一個理解力強、重分析、好奇心強、有洞察力的人。感情方面相對比較保守，但是成功率反而更高，而且幾乎沒有感情方面的糾紛和外遇。

Loves to ponder over things, has a thirst for knowledge, is knowledgeable, learns fast, likes to use own's intelligence and logic to override people. They are cool, calm, witty, analytical, diligent, good rational, logical even in dealing with emotional issues and relationships, dislike people interrupting their own space. 
Disposition: introverted, passive, self-centered, like thinking, likes to explore, likes being alone, dislike people interrupting their own space, doesn't always say nice things to people, prefers to solves problems alone and execute own plans, thinks alone, observe, always want to find the meaning of life, has a strong understanding, analytic, curious, insightful. Relatively conservative in relationships, but the success rate is higher, and almost no emotional aspects of the dispute and an affair. 

白:

此種類型的人自我意識很強，在美感方面有獨特的見解，不會盲目追求流行，而自尊心也比較高，擁有與眾不同的理想，且會為實踐理想而努力不懈怠。覺得這世界充滿了刺激的事物和體驗，人生的目的在於追求快樂，而“好玩”更是其做事的動力。對於愛情他們可以馬上選擇出他們所要的，而且絕對忠貞，但這也意謂他們的占有欲極強，而且因為他們通常在心中已有一個理想的情人模型，所以想擄獲他們的心，最好的方法就是徹底的了解他。
性格特點：外向好動，活潑開朗，精力充沛，興趣廣泛，時常想辦法去滿足自己想要的，愛玩，貪新鮮而怕作承諾，渴望擁有更多，傾向逃避煩惱，痛苦和焦慮。外向、主動、樂觀、貪玩、缺乏責任感。多才多藝，興趣廣泛，不喜歡被限制，樂於探索，貪圖享樂，對有興趣的事很入迷，喜歡上餐館、娛樂、旅行或同朋友談天說地的美好享受，但不善於處理繁瑣和細節的任務，是一個快樂、熱心、思想正面的人。

Self-conscious, has a unique view on the aesthetics, no blind pursuit of fashion, relatively high self-esteem, has a distinctive vision, and will be ideal for the practice, not a slacker. Finds that this world is full of exciting things and experiences, the purpose of life is the pursuit of happiness, and "fun " is their motivation to do things. For the love that they can choose what they want right away, there is absolute loyalty and they can be possessive. Usually has an ideal lover, so to capture their hearts, best to thoroughly understand him.
Character: outgoing and active, lively, cheerful, energetic, broad interests, often to find ways to satisfy their wants, playful, greed and fear make fresh commitments, higher tendency to escape worries, pain and anxiety. Outgoing, active, optimistic, fun, lack of responsibility. Versatile, does not like to be restricted, willing to explore, pleasure-seeking, very invested in things that fascinate them, like restaurants, entertainment , travel or chatting with friends and enjoy the good things in life, but not good at handling the tedious details of the mission, is a happy, enthusiastic, positive thinking person.

Wow. The analysis for 田 describes me to the T, except I'm not in a relationship so I won't know about the last part. Though I agree I am the kind who will wait for the right person to spend the rest of my life with.

Haha.

The Explorer's storyline

Yeah. My main character meets Phantom. Black Mage is running rampant and so full of hatred. What a PMSing bitch.

My main purpose of the screenshot is the words on the...garment? Banner? It means "Phantom please come." in Maple language. Thing is I don't know which symbol represents Phantom, haha.

La Corda Blue Sky episode 7

Kisaragi Ritsu is definitely another Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Episode 7 gave me the pairings already. I ship Myoga/Kaname, so that's settled long time ago.

Ritsu is a bicycle. Main pair, ChiakiRitsu. LOOK AT HOW CONCERNED CHIAKI IS WHEN HE FOUND OUT RITSU IS INJURED. And omg Housei and Sakaki, these two amused me way too much. I enjoy seeing the rivalry between them. The UST, or in Retsuya's words, UVT (unresolved violin tension) is extremely high.

Chiaki and Yukihiro are childhood friends. Nah, I'll just throw in my buchou-harem as usual XD

Taking a break from Mnozil Brass

OMG NEKO!UKYO IS SO ADORABLE. I WANT.

ASDFGHJKLAHSDJGKLH THIS KEYBOARD SMASH IS FOR PUDDING. LOOK HOW GORGEOUS HE IS. THE ANGLE AND STARE IS PERFECT FOR HIM. Suddenly I want to see him in long hair again, WITH THAT FRINGE HE SPORTS. HE LOOKS FANTASTIC WITH LONG HAIR THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Eh, well, more than the obvious Green/Black Kyoryu pairing, duh.

Speaking of which, I have a sudden thought for my Gokaiger photoshoot - to let down my (wig) hair. I know Joe doesn't do that, because Pudding wears a wig, but heck, I really want a shot that shows off the determination in the character's eye, that determined look to see the enemy go to hell by his own hands.

I want a serious photo, from any character I do, the facial expression that says "You. will. pay. for. this." Through the eyes, that set jaw. I want to be able to convey the message. I really love serious expressions. And I want to do the eye shot for Maple (and Gokaiger).

Pretty MapleStory fanart

The Maplefest is back, because MapleSEA finally released the RED update! TIME TO CHEW YOUR MONSTER ARSES, SUCKERS.

PHANTOM'S STORY.

Ok, now I need to find pictures for Phantom's cards. I can't draw for nuts.

Gaim character books

http://silverwind.tumblr.com/tagged/for-battle

I want this book.

So pretty.

Damn. I wanted to limit my magazine expenditure but what the heck. Ok, no more than 5 books, if not my bag will break. I still want to get some doujins as well (Gaim and Hozuki. Because.). And browse Yamaha Ginza and see what gems they have inside. I'm more afraid of spending 4 hours in there, but what the heck, I have always preferred spending my money on books. ^^; Though, for sheet music, I'm uncertain what to get. No preference. Okay, maybe otoge and toku? I got Pia-no-jac already, so I want to look elsewhere.

OH RIGHT. THE PIANO GUYS. IF THEY HAVE. HAHAHAHA.

The Diary of the Mnozil Brass

I am reading the diary on the site. The Mnozil Brass members are so full of shit. These ossans, I cannot. Like, I know I will flip tables if I paid for a concert and all I get is a 5 minute solo. Roman or not, I will flip.

Seriously. What have you people been smoking? Or drinking.

I know I can't take them seriously, but what the heck, the entries they write are completely unbelievable. Off their rockers. I bet if this were turned into an anime I'd die laughing. Way too comical to be real.

The worst thing? I want to write a Gaim music AU inspired by the writing style of their diary. I've always wanted to try writing a fic in that completely bullshit way.

"There's absolutely no way Micchi will want Kouta to be happy, not when he is stuck wearing a sweater in June just because all his clothes are in the washing machine."

Sure.

Fuck me. All 6 DVDs.

DAMN

It is a nice feeling if you allow yourself to appreciate other music genres even if it's not your taste. I don't like a capella, but I will allow others to throw me good a capella songs, mainly because I recognise the songs they sing.

I still prefer instrumental music.

Because, Saitou Hajime is my favourite in Hakuouki.

Mnozil Brass shenanigans. Nah, just a backstage video. That is subbed

NO ZOLTAN. YOU DON'T SAY "I LOVE YOU" AT THE CAMERA AND EXPECT TO GET LAID, YOU ADORABLE BASTARD. AND ROMAN, LADIES WILL THROW YOURSELF AT YOUR FEET IF YOU WOULD JUST RAISE ONE SEXY EYEBROW OF YOURS. COUGHING DOES NOT WORK.

Zoltan's married with a cute daughter.

All these ossans will be the death of me and my stomach.

Mnozil Brass shenanigans

The video quality is shit, but it doesn't make what they're doing less epic. Like, wtf. Parody of the Olympics. I lost my shit at Leonhard and Roman's synchronized swimming though. It's awesome, and stupid, and wtf at the same time. THEY HAD TO USE THE BLUE DANUBE.

I shall watch the full Europarque later.



Can you stop going to Japan? I can't go there dammit. And I'd gladly pay the money to watch one of their concerts. Please come to Singapore if possible. Or I'll fly there.



GAH. I'm not even a fan of brass bands because I prefer concert bands and orchestras. I need my variety of instruments.

I....want to arrange a piano-violin duet. Perhaps for a potential, future La Corda shoot. Or for my own listening pleasure.

Subs! I need subs. ><

I want to watch the whole thing with subs. OTL

Kubota you jokeface. All of them, why so cool?! Gakkun, you are really awesome. YES IF YOU SAY THAT I'LL GLADLY AGREE. Mahhi you really are adorable.

I DON'T KNOW. I ONLY RECOGNISE ZACHARY QUINTO BECAUSE, SPOCK. (Yes, Spirk OTP thank you very much) AND THEY'RE SHOOTING THIS MOVIE IN SINGAPORE.

WELL. I MIGHT WATCH IT JUST TO SEE HOW THEY WOULD PORTRAY OUR COUNTRY. BECAUSE I BELIEVE THEY CAN PUT OUR ICONIC SITES TO GOOD USE - FOR GOOD ACTION SCENES.

Or maybe I'm just a sucker for good action scenes. Sadly I am working, so I can't be a busybody.

I'll just....wait for the movie to come out. And watch it. For Spock. Evil Spock. Pfft.

Nature is my querencia. The vastness of everything making things seem so small and insignificant.

Their MVs are getting cooler and cooler. I like watching dance MVs haha, hence I like 3JSB and Generations from Exile Tribe.

Hypnosis tests

This test is scarily accurate.

Look at my results.

This.is.me. Except that I don't motorcycle or hang glide. And yes, monogamous lifestyle bores me, hence I avoid it. Flights of fancy? Not me.

I HATE unproductive discussion, and this includes small talk. So, don't expect me to ask "How are you?" I'd rather say "What do you think of the weather nowadays? It's so hot and humid. I miss the winds in February even though that month was really dry. Nothing new, still."

2nd test

I don't get this, but heck. I hide it so well I don't even know why.

3rd test for anxiety.

I don't get this, but they are accurate in the part about a naturally strong will. I believe, if I had done this test another day, the results would differ. Because people change.

I'm more interested in the drinks than the food.

Please still be there when I head over *prays hard*

I really really want to watch Winter Soldier. It's just me and my crush on Captain America. Chris Evans' Captain America, to be precise. I, can't really get used to the comics because I dislike the art, so...fanart?

Yeah. Personal enjoyment. ^^ I need more Cap in my life.

And more Mnozil Brass bullshit. I probably watched the medley 5 times already, Wild West twice. They're really great with their playing and the sounds they make with their voices. We need more of such musicians outside, at least, the entertaining ones. We need variety - that's what music does. Create variety. Improvise. Create colour in our lives.

Random: I wonder how to buy tickets to overseas concerts. Someday I would like to attend an overseas concert, preferably Europe for classical music, and Japan for one of my favourite artists.

So many things I want to do. My main goal is to travel around the world, to leave my presence in the country (aka step foot in the country). Other goals include: attending an overseas concert, visiting a composer's grave, attending an overseas convention, visiting scenic places in Europe.
