sembreak files: fun saturday (10/31/09) and THE (near)END OF SEMBREAK..

okay... today was the FIRST TIME this week that i've gone outside the house (besides the gym, of course..) since it was already boring in there... Good thing i made the right choice not to 'cause i did a lot of things unlike at home..

and sembreak is nearing its end, but i really wanted to go back since i REALLY miss my fellow blockmates although i'm not going to see some of them around. :c

OH WELL, life goes on...

see you on november 2...

sembreak files: /* BOREDOM */

since nearly all of my sembreak was contributed by BOREDOM, let's define it and see what it really is.

/* from Wikipedia */

Boredom is an emotional state experienced during periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in the opportunities surrounding them.

/* well, at least it's true that when you don't do anything, you ARE bored. haha. let me continue: */

according to the source mentioned:

- Boredom in the learning environment is due to either the student cannot understand the topic at all, or it is too easy to understand.

- Boredom can be a symptom to clinical depression. /* click link to see the definition */

- People ranked low on boredom-proneness scale have better performance in a wide variety of aspects of their lives.

THERE. so if you want to be successful in life, be LESS bored and be MORE useful..

that's all for now... later..

sembreak quickie: LAST WEEK...

woah, that was quick...

i thought sembreak would feel like a snail.. but well, here we are.

PROS:

1) after this, it's second sem. and this means seeing blockmates again! (except for those who'll shift... :(

2) go to Ayala almost everyday, including saturday! wee...

3) ALLOWANCE! (more money because i have saturday classes.. wee...)

CONS:

1) new lessons to study... ughh...

2) deal with new teachers... (well.)

looks like the odds are with the PROS. wee... good luck to me and my blockmates next semester.

(LATER...)

sembreak files: OPERATION Watch Death Note: ACCOMPLISHED

when i watched Death Note for the very first time, i couldn't understand the later parts because I had something else to do. but now that I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do, i ABSOLUTELY understand it already.

WOW. a trap within a trap, Light sure lost his mind when he lost. His death looked nothing short of spectacular.

well, gotta go. gotta find new anime.

ANIME UPDATES:

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood 28 and Fairy Tail 2 is out..

get FMA-B here and Fairy Tail here.

sembreak quickie: /* OPERATION watch Death Note: PAUSE */

you may be wondering why...

hehe. i better stop introductions like this. weee..

now about the title; yes, i'm going to pause watching it for today. two reasons:

1) watch Fairy Tail and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (two newest discoveries)

2) FACEBOOKing after i do #1. haha.

that's it... oh, and if you see an update below, that means i have a new post in tumblr. go there if you want to. haha.

sembreak files: DEATH NOTE.Ü

woah... a post about Death Note? it's been a long time since i watched this anime... i didn't really give a lot of effort in watching it before, but now that i have A LOT of time, (thanks to the VERY boring sembreak.) I'm watching it right now... hope I can understand more this time around...

WEE...

better focus on watching now..

sembreak files: 10/17/09 and the days to come..

i thought this week would end with total BOREDOM, but then today was really okay.

it was the first time i went with my mom for a LONG time because of my busy schedule. i really cherish every time we go out together. it makes me feel jumpy. hehe.

things I want to do before semestral break ends:

1) Watch Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (UNCUT!!)

2) Find new anime to watch... (the 2 new ones i mentioned weren't enough. I NEED MORE!)

3) slim down some more.. (PLEASE... haha.)

4) get the permission for the house jam (hope it WILL happen 'cause it's SO boring at home..)

that's it for now...

sembreak files: ANIME. (10/16/09)

wee... the longer this lasts, the more it gets boring... good thing there's ANIME.

What is ANIME?

Anime is an abbreviated word for "animation". It is basically known to be animation from Japan. It originated about 1917.

It owes its popularity to the Internet due to the anime distributors' new strategy, online distribution. Through that, they get VERY high earnings in internet advertising revenues.

(info from Wikipedia)

ENOUGH WITH THE FACTS...

Let's see what anime I have been watching lately thanks to the BORING sembreak: (divided into TWO since i've been watching anime since high school)

A) CURRENTLY watching anime:

NARUTO Shippuuden

Continuing the story of Naruto, Naruto Shippuuden is set two (or two and a half) years after Uzumaki Naruto left

with Jiraiya for training. Now grown up, he returns to Konoha with more skill. He now joins his former teammate, Haruno Sakura, and teacher, Hatake Kakashi, to form Team Kakashi. They fight numerous enemies, including the Akatsuki and Orochimaru.

First aired: February 15, 2007

Day it releases in Japan: Thursday

Where to find it*: Naruto.com(North America only) and Crunchyroll.com (other than North America except Japan)

Comments: It is my LONGEST running watched anime ever (including the original Naruto)... Because of this series, I am now an anime addict!

BLEACH

Bleach is centered on a character named Kurosaki Ichigo. He has a strange ability to see ghosts. Suddenly, his family gets attacked by a "Hollow", creatures who eat souls. But a shinigami named Kuchiki Rukia came and tried to stop the Hollow, but she was severely wounded. Then, she attempted to transfer half of her shinigami powers to Ichigo but he unintentionally absorbs most of her powers, causing him to defeat the Hollow with ease.

Manga author: Tite Kubo

No. of episodes: 241 (as of October 13, 2009)

First aired: October 5, 2004

Day it releases in Japan: Tuesday

Where to find it: Dattebayo Fansubs

Comments: The story is great. The fillers in the past were annoying and really distracting, but the newest filler arc, Zanpakutou Unknown Tales, is okay and makes the anime look fresh and new.

B) NEWLY watched anime:

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man, the story follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a remake of the first anime adaptation. This version upholds the original storyline in the manga.

First aired: April 5, 2009

Comments: Even though I haven't watched the first adaptation, I can say I'm thankful that I didn't because the first one diverged from the manga. I can't wait to watch the future episodes.

Fairy Tail

(first aired: October 12, 2009, day release in Japan: Monday)

(info directly from Wikipedia)

A young sorceress, Lucy Heartfilia, travels to the land of Fiore to join the magical Fairy Tail guild. Along the way, she meets Natsu Dragneel, a teenage boy looking for a dragon named Igneel.

Natsu rescues her and reveals that he is the real Salamander and has the skills of a Dragon Slayer. He offers her membership into the guild, which she accepts, and they become a team performing various missions for the Fairy Tail guild.

(couldn't make a comment to this anime because this one's just released last Monday... will put up a review once i've watched more.)

And there, that was all the anime I'm watching right now. Hope you will enjoy Japan's greatest modern legacy to the world.

first sem's OVER...

reactions? both a YES and a NO.

YES because I can finally sleep properly (huh?) and do stuff i couldn't do while classes go on.

NO because the block is separating already and it really feels SAD. ;(

i couldn't believe that all the FUN experiences we had only lasted one semester.. it seemed like yesterday when we all just got to know each other.

well, at the very least, i finished the first semester with NO regrets... (unlike someone out there, you know who you are...)

REALLY miss you guys...
