2011

welcome to 2011!!!

a bit late on doing major changes..
i was chasing some things that i left behind during my trip to my home town
(connection sucks!)
and a few work out on my new room
and a whole lot of draft to expand
all well is well

so like the other years
i changed the themes!
of course i googled it
what do you think?

found some nice one here
its called silverlining
and we're back on business

guess why i choose this one?
my 2011 wish list!!!

1. Gyroscope

this one from wiki

2. Newton's Cradle

this is also from wiki

3. Snow Globe

i grab these from chocolatychocolatelover.blogspot.com

already found the snow globe somewhere here
yet its not exactly my type
(its a lover snow globe!!)
the merchant say it imported
so the price is still in dollars
say.. 30 dollar
back then it was a hefty kick for me
i didn't know where to find the other two
if any of you be so kind.. you know where to find me *evil grin*

i write down my goals but never my achievement

Black Rock Shooter!!!


picture credit

awesome piece of art
and the anime OVA is stunning
not much talk, not much story
but you somehow understand
simple yet chaos
a bit of drama to counter the battle scene
and you get 50 minutes of jaw dropping movie

would you like a sequel?
if it bring another cool scythe, yes!
if it lame, bury them!

lynx unix lucid

there are times back then
when i say "I was born on windows era, so will i use windows"
recently, windows disappoint me more than it benefit me
with all those blue screen and virus and all the like
i then give it a try to the almighty linux
ubuntu to be precise

of course it was never easy to begin with
not to mention with all the new commands and shortcut
but something really help me down on understanding this piece of art
unlimited connection
yep, the internet connection is the answer

due to the piracy mind set
we always think that "if you can get it free, why spent some money?"
and thats where everything goes wrong

the linux that i used is ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx (cool name eh?)
and i dont even break a sweat from searching my software masters
they're all on internet
i just need to take it
no pay
no piracy
sweet!
and no virus as well..
love this goodies..

but what about that amazing windows softwares?
all those graphical awesomeness?
worry not, nothing this baby cant handle
choose, windows emulator or virtual operating system
they just have everything you need

there's just a little disaster
no crack will work
you'll just have to pay for that
its either free to grab or dig deep from your pocket

BONE!!!!

picture credit

what a bone you ask?
its a new being!
that white creature with big round nose and annoying attitude
that is bone!

its a comic created by jeff smith and its totally awesome
six thumbs up! --whats up with six? dunno..
this comic is about this bone creature from boneville
unfortunately we are unable to see this boneville
but, the story itself still amaze me
truly an outstanding piece of work

a world of beauty valley filled with amazing creatures
dragons, talking bugs, talking possums, (almost everything talks around here)
they all feared of rat creatures controlled by the hooded one and the lord of the locust
thats where our hero bones come into the fray
fierce battle, endless chase, and mist!
but don't be too tense, the bones certainly can loosen up a few nerves and you'll be laughing all the way till morning (i did..)

you know those quotes
"don't ask what the country give you,
ask what you gave to the country"

well after i acquire this amazing power of connecting to the universe by internet
i managed to learn something new

whenever you open something from the internet
you request it, then it pop out of your window
so you ask for anything that others put on internet
for quite sometime, i only ask for all this things
ask, request, download

the question is, if i didn't put up something on the internet, will anyone request from me?
well of course!
are you sure you never put anything on internet?
each one of us who used internet always put something on it
it doesn't has to be picture, writing, or anything
its all data anyway

so I've been thinking
this is my time to give something back to the internet
its time to upload!
so i did..
slap on some torrent files
and give to people when they ask
oh giving to others is so much fun
you get a happy feeling that you have done a good deed

but wait a minute..
file size: 4 gigabytes
downloading : 2 gigabytes
uploading : 1,8 gigabytes
ratio : 0,9

hey, thats not right!
kill the upload!!!
only upload after finished downloading!!!
you will not get anything from me!!!

ab(normal)

picture credit

oh dear..
thinking that this world is unfair to you?
that the world is not treating you "normal?"
think again honey..
I'd better be altering my concept of the so called "normal"

there are times when i think I'm abnormal
special in my case
just out of ordinary
I usually grab the "be different" quotes
as an excuse to myself that I'm particularly not like those around me

it's good, yet some other times I do really think I'm abnormal (in a real normal way)
cause I'm around those real normal people

then I suddenly enlightened
when I was among normal people (according to my normal standard)
I'm perfectly normal!
and I also got another wise word
"normal is relative"
just like beauty, intelligent, rich, etc

so, you wanna pretend normal or return to original?
I proudly say..
I prefer my old self!

dragon tatto

finally get a hand on this master piece!
its a Sweden novel written by Stieg Larsson
first time seeing it at the local book store while i was wandering around..
just by reading the reviews, i knew this would be awesome novel to be had
and it doesn't disappoint me till the end

the story was about a journalist (love this guy!) Mikael 'Kalle' Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander (she's my favorite heroine now, kick a**!). the Kalle nickname was given by the press (in the novel) from a detective story in Sweden. good linking..
they both running a investigation of 40 years cold case of Harriet Vanger disappearance. Harriet was the heir of one of the most powerful enterprise in Sweden. while Blomkvist was a sharp journalist, Salander is a hacker with photographic memory, how amazing is that!

this novel had won a whole bunch of awards and made it as one of the best novel in Sweden (also in the world)
among its awards are best crime novel of the year 2006 in Glass Key Award. It also won the 2008 Boeke Prize, and in 2009 the Galaxy British Book Awards for Books Direct Crime Thriller of the Year, and the prestigious Anthony Award for Best First Novel. Larsson was also awarded the ITV3 Crime Thriller Award for International Author of the Year in 2008.
He was the second best-selling author in the world in 2008, behind Khaled Hosseini. By March 2010, his Millennium trilogy had sold 27 million copies in more than 40 countries. O_o

like wow!
this baby is big!
they also already made the movie version (which i already have in hand - thanks to my blazing speed Internet, har har)
and you better believe it, Hollywood already set their eyes on it, and planning on making its American version by 2011
wooho!

by the way this novel is the first part on the trilogy
the sequel is The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest
I'm currently reading the second part
due to some annoying reason, i bought translated version of the first book, while the other books was English version
gotta give credit to the book store who didn't have another copy of translated ones..
oh don't worry tough..
their both stunningly awesome
and when i had the chance i will buy the translated version *sigh*

the only downfall (or should i say the most shocking part) is Larsson died from heart attack not long after he sent the manuscript of his novel. WHAT!?!?!?!
yes he did, he's not disappeared somewhere and we need to hire Salander (if she does exist..) to track him down..
the third sequel was written based on his data on his notebook, can you believe that?!
or should we wait for another 40 years to solve his death?

1/100

I stand up time after time again
A fighter in the lone battle
I’ll have a chance until this body perishes
Even if there’s 1/100 of a possibility,
Don’t give up until the end! Until the end
Yes, you can cross over (that bridge to tomorrow)

…Yes, today
You can cross over (that bridge to tomorrow)
Let’s go

definitely if there's even only 1/100 chance
never give up!
the result?


DELL VOSTRO 1088

no OS, dedicated VGA, and a lot of memory, as much as 4Gigs!!!

another thing to note is..
1 short goal accomplished!!!

Hi,

I want you to take a look at: BoA – WOO WEEKEND [2010.07.21]  

BoA(보아)_GAME_뮤직비디오(MusicVideo)

long for long

do you know how long has i been longing for a good long movie?
just recently all the movies I've been watching are less than 90 minutes
so after all those effects, you were left with "it's already over?" feeling
and they all cured with
INSEMINATION!!!



err..
i mean..
INCEPTION!!!



this movie is so cool!!!
be prepared with some high level animation and action that will blow you away
just a little bit jokes and romance
but full of thrills and awesomeness
do you know there's only one kissing all along this movie?!?!?!
that's rare for American movie..
go ellen page!
love her in that suit



i just love the spinning non-gravity room effects
go arthur!



and his ultimate paradox!
exceptionally kick ass!
imagine shooting someone down stair and suddenly they're on top of you
with you at the end of the stair
awesome paradox!!!



i had one of those multiple layer dreams
so i was like being chased by peoples (definitely not some subconscious projected army)
and when i open my eyes
i was lying on the floor
with my mother next to me
but i cant speak, move, or anything
just like i goes numb all over
then i tried everything, screaming, moving (and even gathering chakra..)
and bam!
i open my eyes.. again..
with thumping heart and sweating all over
"what's wrong?" my mother ask
...
and then i went out for my cat and spin it
so i can be sure this is my reality
it keeps spinning around..
then out of no where..
morpheus came and offer me red or blue pills

okay..
enough blabbering..
the story only true until my mom's question..

so..
do you remember how you get here?

moon

the continuity from the rainbow troops!!!
it definitely took a while
tough I'm not sure just how long the gap between each book
i do know how long he made the book
not more than 2 months
it is said so in his website..
wow..

this novel also one of the creative way of publishing
he made it sideways back to back
i once thought it would be two books
(i even thought there will be maryamah karpov 2)
its awesome, just like dee's rectoverso
"read the music, listen to the novel"

just like the review
its all about coffee and chess
its everything about maryamah karpov
the way he explain those chess moves really good
like them alot
just like hikaru no go (haha)

this conversation is run trough jose rizal, a post pigeon
"how true is that?"
"as true as seven by nine is fifty four"
"sixty three, boi"
"what did you say?!?!?!"
"its not fifty four, its sixty three.."
"think you're better than me?? huh??"
...
"nges! nges!"
and jose rizal left but not to his master..
and i ROFM

starry night sky

the other day my cousin had her birth day
as a good brother (as she was younger..)
I'm trying to bought her birthday present
she was kinda has extra energy (haha..)
so choosing presents was difficult
something that didn't get destroyed easily (a vampire maybe?)
so i went to a few malls and shops
hoping to find vampires or the like

and so i found one!
a nice (and rich) spot where goodies are sold
so i choose (after considering the durability of my wallet.. ups.. the durability of the present)
a starry night sky projection!!!
and add the bonus of free wrapping by the nice lady
she even give a nice flower on top of the wrapper.. sweet!
the only problem is no other color aside from black.. fine..

and it ended good
we assembled the kit
turn off the room lights
and the room was filled with stars
just like my backyard..

assemble the minions!

its so fluffy I'm gonna die!!!
no..
the fluffy ones not the minions..
those yellow capsules with eyes(if i might say so..)
its the unicorn agnes wanted



it seems so nice to be a little girl eh?
just hold your breath and you get minions disguising in supermarket buying you toys
haha..

i like the story telling part
three little kittens and the unicorn by gru
especially the "i'll kiss all the minions"
mwahaha

i think this movie's nice and hilarious
you only need evil plans and three little devil (girls..) to change a villain into a hero

watch out for piranha launcher!

O Alquimista

this book first published by 1988 (boy that was long time ago)
and continue as one of the best selling book of history, translated to 56 languages, and winning a world Guinness record for it.

people said its a must read
well after reading it, i said its a must read as well
there are so many good advice in it
basically visualization of human life and their achievement
definitely like the alchemist part and the laughable ending
never thought you can make such a twist at the end of such a novel

i wonder where can i get those urim and thummim stones?

Twist of Time

Cloud of Sparrows



Autumn Bridge



Takashi Matsuoka did a really great job on this novel. its his first one, many said it was a very bold move, cause the story was very fast paced, unlike other novelist which started it very slow (or at least slowly). not to mention he started as zen buddhist before becomming a full time writer.

cloud of sparrows told about a clan, okumichi clan, in the time of shogun in japan. about how this clan has ability to see the future, because of the curse put by lady sorcerer. the first sign came by flock of sparrows fly and covering the sky as cloud. some believe that ability, and others dont. creating a plot where the current heir of okumichi clan being trusted to save japan from modernism and facing betrayal from his trusted men who believe he went crazy rather than foreseeing the future.
all this began more interesting as more foreign characters entering the story. a master swordsman slaughtering his family from fear of curse, a missionary women who run away from america, a fugitive cowboy seeking vengeance in japan, a geisha that fell in love with the one she should kill, and the sneaky eyes which would do anything for one man's death.
this piece of work is amazing. fast paced, but very rich and entertaining. cant stop reading!



autumn bridge is the sequel of the first book. continuing the curse (ha ha). this novel time line is chaos.. trust me. mostly story about the past, in which how evrything happen in the first novel began. reminds me of star wars, they started at episode 4 then end it with episode 3. the story goes back and forth in time, even i had to keep check in which time i was reading.
the story also including many places, from japan itself, america, to mongols, just like tower of babel movie? truly amazing how such curses from nurjhen (na-lu-chi-ya) end up saving a country. or should i say making it more like other?
this novel truly awesome. two thumbs up!
