Eden of the East Movie 1: King of Eden

As usual, i'm not going to do any summary of the movie. So if you haven't watched it. I say go watch it, especially if you enjoyed the series.

From where we were left off last time, with Takizawa apparently got his memory wiped (again xD) and had his request to become King accepted.

He also had left his phone with Saki.

I found this interesting. To be a King but without the power of Juiz. Wonder what he was thinking.
Nontheless we found out he's doing pretty well and meet the other Selecao. To which i'm surprised in the choice of Selecao no.6. Wtf is with him? The previous guys i can see something interesting to 'save' japan. But.. no.6....?
I'm not sold on him. i don't like his character. I found it happily that Juiz seems to not no.6 too xD

With more action picking up in the second half, it seems like all hell breaks loose with No.1's requests. Dam that bastard for his request. It's now akin to a 1 on 1 duel. (well... more like 3 on 1?) But then there are a few other Selecao who have yet to make an apperance if they ever will. But with No.1's information gathering ability against Takizawa's amnesia, its going to be a fairly interesting duel.

Almost like Nurture Vs. Nature.
No.1 is who is he is after gathering so much information and experiance with life.
Takizawa is... who he is himself naturally. Having no memories, his almost a blank slate and his so called 'base' nature is there.

Though this time, he's got Saki with him. So wooot~

Anyways, i'm looking forward to the next upcomming movie >__

hot water tanks.

well, after another 10 years since the fixing of our hot water tank. it has decided to fail a component, thus rendering our house with no easy access to hot water.

In light due to efficiency, our house had a gravity fed system. thus requiring less power for hot water to run. However, in light of modern times, this was phased out for the more modern hot water pump or solar hot water. With the tank no longer in the roof, but either outside the house or ontop of the roof. This in affect allows easier installation and access for maintenace. at the cost of efficiency.

So now, we have decided to 'modern' up on house. By installing a hot water pump.
In the event you are asking "Why not Solar you enemy of the earth!".
Well.. accordingly to feng shui of sorts, it is not good to have solar panels on your roof because it opens it up allowing good energy to escape and bad ones to flow in. How accurate this is, i don't know. I'm not feng shui master. I'm no academic of Feng Shui. I'm no practioner of Feng Shui. I don't have the spiritual senses to consciously detect anything beyond the 4th dimension. Non the less, installing a solar panel by putting a hole in your roof is no good.

Thus, leaving us to a hot water pump system. Due to our recent 'free' installation of insulation, we had lost that extra rebate -_-
*sigh*

thus further indebt we go.

But these 2 weeks of old fashion wasing. (Boiling hot water, mixing with cold water, scrub and rinse etc....) i believe has reduced our water bill a little bit =D afterall, the amount of water i use in a shower is frigging ridiculous. But being a stupid human, i shall still have hot long showers that burn and feel great.
perhaps this might be difference if i start using the ensuite.

Non the less, hot water is now available, and in good time as the weather is slightly cooling more at night now.

Anyways, i need to go. my thesis is awaiting me. fark.

Eden of the East: One step closer to reality?

Yes.

Today in my paper i found an interesting article about AR (Augmented Reality)
It had struck me as a resemblance to the anime Eden of the East. and no, not in the chosen select few to save the country, but the actual Eden system. The recognition system which is applied on their phones to recognise people, objects, artefacts etc...

It seems that reality is one step closer to this.

Now, if i had the money, i would invest in these competitors, as people are more attached to their phones (heck, i hold two active ones now. one for calling, the other for internet) and if you could run the eden system, that would be more marvellous. No need to google search an image. you simply active the app, and run it through and see what is registered of course.
If things get taken a step further, you might as well obtain something akin to x-ray vision. Legally. xD

here's the article

The Reflection of the Weather

To have love and lost or to not have loved at all... The autumn descends upon my life, bringing back the winter landscape, To slumber back I go, like a dream the life that was...

-----------------

a clear day, blue skies, inconspicious, a day that says fine things to happen.
happiness and joy is seen by the eye to be not far.

a sudden change of wind swept across the landscape.
clouds loomed, thunder rumbled

heavy heavy clouds hover, but no tears fall from the sky
the heaviness remains

the clouds that would cry of sadness would dissappear if such an event occurred
to want to continue to exist, to not forget, they hold the tears back.

no violent storm
no screaming wind
no hammering hail
no pounding rain

just the heavy looming clouds that hang over...

Something New! =D

Yeeesss.....

i once again have been neglecting this blog.
I am still busy (despite it is not study related)

But on the GOOD news. SUPERB news. is....



i







got







a


















CAR!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *happily does guts pose*

Its might be a bit old, since the radio actually is a casette player xD
no power window
no power steering
no abs
no airbags
no alarm
no central locking
no proxomity sensor (che, decreases your driving skills these things do i say!)
no cd player
no mp3 dock
no tachometer (i'm not sure if old cars or new cars have em or not, but hey, i got one less thing to look at now :/ )


but it has WORKING AIR CON!

considering the car is from 1989. i reckon thats pretty good~

i'm happily loving my first car and my first manual ^___^
i can't wait to be able to drive it as well or even better than i do on auto~

its got a few little clean up touches here and there, but hey. if you don't put effort into it, the car will be bonded. now we don't want that now do we?

But here are two quick pics of my car i took with my phone cam ^__^
once i clean it up and everything~ woot~ more pics maybe xDD




on a side note: upcoming season looks so bland.
wtf? or has my taste changed this season due to my lesser contact with anime?

/swt

So.

it has been a very long while since i had last done anything in regards to blogging.

i believe i WAS suppose to mention i was in my exam mode, thus i would be quiet.
However, i never got around to it.
Then, when exams were over i was theoritically suppose to watch and catch up on anime.
However, that didn't really occur. my computer that was to use to watch anime had a power source problem.

However. once that was fixed, i was introduced to The Settlers: Rise of an Empire.

not to mention, we are short on staff at work. and i'm going out a bit more lately.
So. that in itself is pretty bad ^^;;

However, me posting this kind of update means something so to say.
i'm not entirely saying good bye to blogging, and it doesn't help that my anime watching has slowed. the two thigns i'm following from memory are A Certain Scientific Railgun. and NyanKoi.
i'm pretty sure i'm following other stuff. but obviously they're not leaving any type of impact. (nyankoi is a wtf-_- impact.)

On a side note. i DID watch two movies.
2012. and Paranormal Activity.

Due to my sensitivity to the world of spiritualism i'll decide to not post about Paranormal Activity.

Instead, i shall blog on, 2012.

2012. It is about how the world as we know of it will end.
Due to some natural alignment of planets in our little solar system, our planet got mutated and our crust is shifting. How plausible is this future? I do not know, i don't have enough knowledge in geoscience and particle physics.

either way, in watching this movie, i have one strong thing in my head.
Limousines are great at running away from natural destruction on man made environments. Even large scale things are built in China. Rich people are still being respected by paying for their sponsorships. (if the world is going to end, we know money is useless, so just take their money, say they'll get their tickets and just not let them on 6_6 save room for your scientists, engineers, and workers for crying out loud 6_6 so much for trying to make things efficient 6_6 )

Africa is the way to go. Its where we all (theoritically) came from, and thus it HAS to be good for our survival.

Now. i eagerly await for the next upcomming movie: Avatar.
>__________<!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spice and Wolf II End.

Spice and Wolf II has ended.

And quite abrumptly too.
I somehow felt that it was quite short, despite having the similiar amount of eps. However, it could be because it seems to have a lesser amount of arcs, but a more steady focus on the relationship of our Horo and Lawrence. This wasn't neccesarily a bad pay-off.

Non-the-less, despite having the main focus on those two, i still quite enjoyed Spice and Wolf II, i would probably have to rewatch it capture the economics and trading details of it better though.

Either way. I Happily enjoyed it, and my apologies for being so quiet. i've been quite busy with uni work and what not. And will still be more busy with the upcomming reports @_@

Till then.
