In search of my true self…

To begin is to end.

It’s usual right? Once school gets into full power, my motivation to do other things dries up. It’s just the second week and I am feeling tired from all the things I need to cram into my head again… Why did the summer break go by so soon!?

Perhaps it’s time to do it the zen way. Anyways, the good thing is that some of the anime TV series I am waiting for is going to start in a bit, yay!

Train travels to school has been tolerable so far, thanks to the book Lila (sequel to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance), which unfortunately I had finished reading earlier this Thursday.

Time to look for another distraction on the train ride.

I was back from disposing the rubbish for the day, and just happened to look next to the shoe rack. Something just looked different, I counted the number of shoes on the floor.

One, two, three… Eh? Three!?

There was supposed to be four shoes there. Worried I might have counted wrongly, I did another count…

It’s those wacky questions that makes life so interesting… or not :D

Another 4 koma on the Endless Eight saga, enjoy :D
Read part one here.

With news of the Endless Eight arc finally ending for the anime: Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2, I can’t help but to think of the fans’ reactions when the DVD release finally comes out, happiness or re-fuelled anger?

Basically, Endless Eight is a chapter in the Suzumiya Haruhi novel, where the characters are stuck repeating a loop, but the people at Kyoto Animations(Kyo-Ani) decided to make this short chapter into a series of  anime episodes with the EXACT same thing.

The change of costume does not make up for the constant reminder that you are watching the same thing over and over again, it’s no surprise this has caused a uproar among fans.

This 4koma(4 panel manga) depicts the fans reaction to the Endless Eight Arc of the Second season of Suzumiya Haruhi :D

Hahaha… It was fun making this.

But seriously, Kyo-Ani needs to stop looping the episodes.

Any avid fans of Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA will tell you, the song “Disappearance of Hatsune Miku” (初音ミクの消失), is one of the boss level songs for the game.

Especially on hard mode, this song turns the player into a button mashing maniac (one of my friends busted his button on this song XD).

Till this day, I could not clear the hard mode for this song yet. But the countless times of it repeating in my head, it started to grow on me and with learning the meaning of the lyrics has earned it a place as one of my favorite songs.

So what happens if you aren’t one of those player who can bash their PSP buttons a million times a second?

Well, you can do what this Miku fan in this clip has done:

This is really taking gaming to the next level (laughs).

It was rather interesting that I happened to chanced upon this video clip again in 2, no 3 years:

Bluebirds are commonly associated with happiness, but I’m not sure it is the case for this Visual Novel (I haven’t had the chance to read it yet). From what I heard so far, all does not end well for the Elric brothers…

Woke up at 11 due to the nice cool morning, it was raining earlier apparently. Only to realize I missed the solar eclipse!

As one of the longest total solar eclipse recorded in the 21th century, this lasted from 08:40:51 AM to 09:43:55 AM (Singapore 8+GMT).

Looking at the pictures of the eclipse, the TV series Heroes kept popping into my head. Season 4 anyone?

Deciding I have to look at the eclipse no matter what, I YouTube-ed (is there such a word?) and found a nice clip showing the eclipse, it was covered by a Japan TV station NHK.

The view was spectacular! It was dark like the evening and you can see everyone was taking pictures of the eclipse. Looks like it will be a while before we can see one of those again.
