Here’s another song I found while I was browsing Taiwan’s mtv its a pretty touching song I hope you guys enjoy it (like all the others that I’ve posted so far) I know that they used this song in a Korean drama (or at least in the one where they voiced over in Chinese, but other than that I don’t know much about this artist or the song…)
Hope you enjoyed (sorry this was so short, I gota go eat lunch now =D)
Yesterday I found out that my friend Azureseele moved-ish his blog to a new site, so those of you who were tracking him regularly (a big thanks to all of you guys who were) and wondering if he maybe dropped of the face of the planet; just letting you know that he has a new site here.
The link to the site can also be found under the blogroll titled MotivatedBoredom. I took a peek at the blog yesterday and there’s some really great material there so I encourage everyone to go and check it out.
For now I’m also leaving the link to AzureSeele’s original blog under my blog roll since he hasn’t quite figured out what he wants to do with that site yet so I’ll keep everyone posted.
Cheers,
Jellayrei
WARNING: Bakuman Chapter 72 quasi-Spoiler!
Okay so let me start off by saying that Bakuman is now hands down my favorite manga that I’m tracking at this moment in time. The story is actually moving unlike some certain other series… *cough Bleach cough cough, cough NAruot COUGh!!!*
I love this double rivalry theme thats happening too between the new pairings right now.
I mean if you think about it, rival artists and rival writers going head to head in an all out battle. Niizuma Eiji + Akina Aiko v.s. Ashirogi Muto!
I know that this is going to be an exciting battle, I kind of want to see Iwase get knocked off her high horse because she’s kind of a bitch (for lack of a better term so ’scuse my language.) However at the same time I don’t what that to happen because chapter 72 has officially made Eiji my favorite character and I don’t want to see him lose.
I like Ashirogi Muto too, don’t get me wrong but I’m concerned that Miura is taking them in the wrong direction with Tanoto. I think that Trap was way cooler but I might just be biased because gag manga has never really been my thing (Personally I’d rather read something like Trap or +Natural.)
Another thing that I really enjoyed in this chapter was Eiji thinking about his fellow mangaka’s he knows that now that he has two series the other mangakas won’t want to lose to him and will work even harder. So basically… yeah Eiji is awesome (p.s. Eiji fans, there were some great shots of Eiji in this chapter, another reason why I enjoyed it so much)
Note: One quick bookkeeping thing, I don’t proof read so there’s probably a billion typo’s as well as many instances of me repeating the same thing over and over in this post. Part of it is because I don’t proof read, part of it is because I’m dazed by Eiji’s awesomeness, part of it is because I wrote this post without even the slightest hint of planing it out at all, and the last part of it is that I wanted the layout to look nice so I needed some words to fill space…
Found a nice song today while browsing Konachan (wallpaper image board of all places…) by Supercell. Their official website is here.
This is their new single which is going to be released on 2/10/10 so if you guys enjoy it I hope you all will check it out.
Supercell also sang one of the endings for Bakemonogatari I think. Hope you all like it!
Okay so this is a sort of long and frustrating process, or at least it was for me… and I mean extremely.
However after trying multiple meathods, I discovered one that works very well, or lets say at least it works compared to the other ones I tried.
First note, DO NOT use the uxtheme.dll patch. I tried it and followed their instructions to the letter, and it almost killed my computer, thank goodness I learned how to do System Restore from the boot screen.
Because my only real qualm with windows 7 was how ugly the start button looked, thats all I wanted to change. Just to something a little more sleek and dosen’t protrude. I’ll admit that it isn’t perfect (when you mouse over there’s like a millisecond where there is this annoying black flash, but then again I did not use some of the available start buttons on deviant art but instead made my own.)
This video will walk you through everything you need to know about customizing your start button, EXCEPT you need to take ownership of all of your windows files which is something that the video did NOT mention, so do that first and then follow the video and you’ll be good to go.
<
The kid’s voice is kind of annoying, another small price to pay…
My end result looks like this
Have fun guys, and good luck.
EDIT: They have some really great ones on deviant art that I found and so I chose one of those I’ll post a pic once I get back on my home computer.
EDIT: Okay, so here’s my current desktop. For any non regular readers out there the clock is done by rainmeter, the media player is Zune and the icons at the bottom are RocketDock (I changed all my icons to Bakuman icons…) and for the regulars the thing that’s a little different on this desktop compared to all my others is that the start button is custom. If you like the one I have you can download it here.
this start button also solves the problem of that black box popping up when you mouse over the start button, a problem I had earlier with that arrow start button.
I hope you all enjoy.
So I spent all morning today, reading Bakuman and making a new banner for my blog (despite the growing pile of homework at my desk which I am trying my best to ignore.)
The reason that I decided to make a new banner was because my last one was pretty much factory, and didn’t have the blog title on it either, so this time I when I made the banner I pretty much put the blog title in manually. I hope you guys enjoy it.
As some of you might be able to tell, Bakuman was my inspiration for this banner. I’ve decided that Nizuma Eiji (the guy in the pictures,) is hands down my favorite character in the series, for reasons I’m not going to spoil for you all who haven’t read it yet.
(by the way, on a almost total tangent, Bakuman is getting an anime adaptation in Fall 2010. Congradulations Obata Takeshi and Ohba Tsugumi, you guys did it!)
So anyways I hope you guys enjoy the banner, I got to get back to work. Later all.
I’ve never had to do so much miserable reading for any singular class in my life before as I have to do this semester. However today when I was taking a break from having no life I found this.
Recently they released a Vocaloid game which is basically on DDR on the PSP. And though it looks lame, it’s surprisingly fun. And what’s more is that there is a custom play mode which allows you to make your own levels. It’s a lot harder than you’d think it would be (trust me I tried…)
Here’s one that I found that was really well done in my opinion. Enjoy.
So this semester is starting of to be pretty busy so I’ll be lucky to be able to post once a month, and so I am going to try my best to come on whenever I have a little free time before the school work starts piling up. Today I’m bringing you an music video that I saw on MTV while I was in Taiwan. The main reason I stopped to watch it while I was channel surfing was because I thought their dance was kind of awesome. After a little research I found out that the band 大嘴巴 was a sort of new-ish and up and coming band. Their album containing Rock It is going to be released on 1/23/2010.
The band is a sort of mishmash of various Asian races. The lead male singer has Korean background but is from… China? I think. And then the lead female singer [Asia (yeah she's hot, not gonna lie as long as she opens her mouth somewhere within the first ten seconds of any song, I'm pretty much hooked though that pink hair is kind of unflattering on her...)] and the one guy that you don’t ever see him sing or dance in the music video are from Japan. And lastly the rapper guy is from… Taiwan or China, I forget. And the four of them come together to make Chinese urban hip-hop which is pretty cool in my opinion.
So anyways here’s the video… judge for yourself. They also have some remixes of some English and Japanese songs if you browse around on youtube you will probably find them.
Hope you enjoyed it.
I hate to steal a post from another blog for the first post of the new year, but I have no way to get the pictures off my crappy phone onto my computer (a weak excuse I know… and most of the pictures aren’t even that great though I have an awesome one for you guys when I get back in America)
But when I was browsing Kotaku, I found this and it’s just so cute that I had to put it up here.
Happy New Years guys!
Okay, I’m finally finally done with finals. And I’m finally done with the rediculous plane ride from the United States to Taiwan. And my first day, in most of which I was a sleep walking zombie, is finally coming to a close (it’s actually officially already over seeing as it’s like 1 in the morning now.) This year I resolved to take more pictures while I’m here so that I have something to show you guys who check this regularly (if you’re one of these people, you know who I’m talking about… that’s right Azureseele you’re probably the only one.)
And so taking a hint from Azureseele’s blog I decided to post some pictures of food, because I LOVE food. Today for dinner we went to some fancy Taiwanese style barbecue place and it was delicious, not to mention fancy (yes I know I just used the word fancy twice within a ten word span but I am freaking TIRED so cut me some slack.)
I actually forgot to bring my phone with me and so in the end I borrowed my cousin’s phone and took some pictures, so it’s thanks to him that I have these pictures.
Basically we had these open grills on which we could roast (in all you can eat fashion) whatever kind of meat our heart desired. It was delicious and, dare I say it again, extremely fancy!
I forgot to mention it but there’s seafood too. I’m not really a fan but hey for people who like seafood it’s a sweet deal!
And there was also kimchi, soup, salad ect. good stuff.
First off I’m going to say that this is going to be my last publication before the 20th of December. After today I absolutely MUST start studying for finals. Today, when I was at the office, my friend who runs the Azureseele press saw me reading manga on one of the computers. We talked a little about manga and he suggested another one to me, Bakuman.
I have only read the first chapter so far but I really like what I see. The story is awesomely set up, and the back story is also awesome. I won’t ruin it for you but if anyone wants to read it here’s the link to the first chapter. When I first saw it I thought “psh 60 chapters I’ll be done with this in a day.” The first chapter was almost 60 pages long and almost took me a full hour =.=;;;;;;
A few days ago I looked on sankaku complex (going to add it to blog roll) and they had a list of the top ten most popular shonen mangas. I didn’t recognize any of them except for One Piece, but Bakuman was on there and it’s definately intriguing now that I’m definately going to read more. I highly suggest people check it out.
Okay, so I hate stealing stuff from other people’s blogs but I’ve been busy lately, finals are coming up and I have like 12 pages worth of paper to write. But today, I was on the failblog (It’s under blogroll) and this fail was just too good to pass up. Just remember you saw it on failblog first.
enjoy!
