Allen_Kanda's Journal #19 - The Legendary Schoolend...










It's tomorrow.
One more day~
I already got the rose for my teacher, and now for unknown reasons I want to listen to Kagamine Rin's Bloody Rose... Oh well once I'll be bringing this rose to school, I'll know it's all over for two months. Rest assured...
The teacher said we'll be at school for one hour only~! How cool is that? I hope that's right though... Once I'm done I'll take a shower (even if I were to shower today) and maybe go for a stroll outside the yard with my bike (which is pretty broken though...) and hopefully I can visit the aquapark the next day. The weather forecast on my mobile phone said it'll be hot this morning (though not nearly as hot as it said it is in South-East US rofl...rip those temperatures. I hope my friend there has air-con or atleast a fridge to hide into.)

Now to make some jobs for Vocamania and get ready for next day...and maybe watch some anime. and maybe play some games...
maybe even new articles...

Allen_Kanda's Journal #18 - The maddness-driven last nights










I don't know what to say. Just that I can't control what I do anymore. I tend to do ridicullously random things and have ridicullously random thoughts lately, forexample wishing for dozens of earthworms to cover the floor and tickle my feet. Maybe it's common that I want something wild on the last days of school.

One thing that's really bothering me is that someone disappeared without the littlest trace or word nearly a month ago. He didn't even pulse on whatpulse ever since slightly before we last talked and I'm getting worried. If this descriptions fits to you as you're reading this, please write me on skype or atleast pulse on whatpulse, even if it's a hillariously small pulse.

 Aside from all, today I had a pretty good day. Though it got really tiring in the middle. I just slowly advanced back to school, then dragged a heavy bag all the way home. I was thinking I'd ask some strong boy to help me, but it would look ridiculous, beside that I could be bothering. I mean, I rarely talk to the boys in my class except for one. I wish I was more sociable IRL, really... But the first half was nice, I found 1€ randomly in a swing and built a nice sclupture with my friend. We were two in the team, but I think we were considered the best among the judges... But meh, I don't really care that much.

Anyway the past weekend struck me in illness. On Friday I couldn't even sleep because I felt so sick I needed to barf every two hours - disrupted sleep is not too helpful. I was lucky to be able to go on Mangafest atleast on Sunday, but whenever I imagine the horrible results that could've came out if I were to want to go to Prague with my class, it gives me shivers. I still have no idea what the source of my illness was. Possibilities are overheat, period, bad food, but most likely some of them combined.

And I hope to go to Prague anyway this summer...I hope.

After further thinking I don't really want to waste my precious free summer time working. It'll come later... but as I still need money, I want to find my old Barbie and MyScene dolls, with which I played when I was a child, and sell them into new hands. Of course, cheaper than they formerly were and nicely re-styled. I'm thinking about a 50% discount on everything, as they're indeed really old, but I wouldn't call them ancient. I hope they're still quite wanted.

So yeah, this should conclude my report on latest events. My articles get rarer and rarer...

Anime Review - Maria Holic

Another anime that didn't appeal to me too well, sadly. This review has one honorable aspect though, it's the first review that isn't either a rewrite or a repost from MAL. I will write it smoother and not too held on the grid this time, while trying to mention all the important aspects, and list individual ratings seperately.

When I started with Maria Holic (excuse my inability to write a fxcking cross lol), I wanted to see some funny story with GL moments all over and a shocking surprise at the end. I got none of it, even though they intended it as a comedy. Many of the used jokes seemed quite cliché or unamusing to me, I grinned or laughed maybe like a few times, and nothing was excessive. Where we go now - There's no story to follow at all, it's just these jokes all over. I couldn't enjoy this anime too well. Not even the expected GL romance, aside from some of Kanako's fantasies. As for the characters, their personalities were unique enough, but predictable and sometimes annoying. Art was fine though, and the opening was pretty amazingly done, while the ending was quite catchy.

Rating sheet:
---------------
Story: 2/10
Art: 7/10
Sound: 8/10
Character: 5/10
Enjoyment: 3/10
-----------------
Overall>> 4/10

Not too enjoyable for my expectations, but well if you like pretty cliché humor, or simply this kind of humor, go for it.

Allen_Kanda's Journal #17 - How to handle tears and summer










Crying is not a sign of weakness or immaturity at all times. But my way of crying at times was weak, even though I don't cry that much. I was holding in tearjerker moments in animes, in songs, just to not seem stupid, yet I was crying in front of my mother when she made me feel sorry for everything. I was pitying myself and that's weak. It's a terribly selfish thing to do, crying over myself but not crying over other's unfortunate fates, even if it's just anime or fictional characters. I was still immature at the core, and I still think I am in some aspects, because one thing that my friend said is verifying its existence.  I will try to not cry anymore at these moments and cry rather at sad anime or sad songs, since that's a nicer thing to do.
And where I got to this? No, no one told me anything.
Remember why small children cry? They forexample hit their knee so it bleeds. If you look at it from the blunt point of view, it hurts. From a broader aspect, actually, they pity themselves because they have to endure such pain. "Why me?" They sure ask themselves. When their friend hurts his knee they never cry, even though they're sure the friend is in pain, as much as they might have experienced in the past. Well children are children, and it's okay for them since they're young.
At my age, though, it's a good choice to mature from that. Or you'll turn out like the people that are all selfish and desire money and nice stuff for themselves and themselves only, which means they never matured. Adolescence is the best age to start thinking more like an adult. It is never too late, but if you don't do it now, you could deal with a bad name later on. After all, adolescents still aren't adults, but it's the phase right before that.
On the other hand, be sure to enjoy your childhood! If you didn't reach the age of 15 yet, I personally even would say 16, it's fine to be a little more selfish and immature to the point it's not annoying. And you can't return to physically be a child, atleast not yet. (reincarnation or scientific progress might change these in the future...)

This day was killing me. At first I felt useless for the event held today, I thought there's nothing I could do and even the little I'd do I'd screw up majorly, but I was glad my class invited me to help out more and in the end I was glad I was able to help atleast a bit to ease my class' work. And I figured I am able to help more, with some graphics job maybe? Though the thing that let the final blow for me was the heat. Hot air is really hard to inhale. Took a nap for 30 minutes straight when I went home, not because I helped (as I said, that actually made me happy) but because the heat got to me.

I still like summer more than winter. Though when it's summer, you'd like a fast cold winter in the midst to cool down, and vice versa. That might probably be the reason why people want the opposite season during the most cold/hot season - it makes perfect sense.

Allen_Kanda's Journal #16 - Panic Attack










Take this lesson of mine and don't write emails at 6AM. Just don't, or you may just end up writing something terribly awkward from which you want to lock yourself in a locker for eternity... The whole Friday and most of Saturday I was like thunderstruck. Still haven't gotten a reply from the person though. Just... *poker face* ...let's hope all goes well....

...when did my domain get converted to .sk? I want to use .com :( Time to fiddle with the settings soon, hopefully it'll get solved. Atleast .com still redirects to my blog.

So I went to check until when can I use my pre-paid ticket. I realised I can still use it fine until 10th June, but then I just casually ran into a ticket control (one that did not ignore me). If I weren't to check my ticket, I would've surely had a panic attack so I'd jump out the window probably.

There is one video of my simfile I think I didn't share. A preview, originally meant for VCP 11 but with some sorcery, which is more unfortunate than fortunate because it involved disqualifying files, it managed to get into VCP 10. It had minor edits during alpha judging, so it may not exactly be as the preview says.

Then again, let me see what tomorrow gives me.
