Darn, I think I missed out quite a few vids here and there. Here goes!

OP3 Title: Golden Time Lover
Artist: Sukima Switch

Credits of the above titles and singers, as well as the below videos to the respective people who uploaded the songs.

Lil'B - Tsunaida Te (つないだ手) [As seen in the anime. Credits to YukiJudaiJaden.]


Surprisingly, the full version of BOTH songs seems to be out. I'm expecting it to be removed very quickly though. Will check back often ;).

Sukima Switch - Golden Time Lover [Alternative version, much louder. Credits to HakuKINkuro.]


Tsunaida Te (つないだ手)- Lil'B (PV) [Well, there's the Romanji, but it's in... Spanish translation, if I'm not wrong. Credits to JDACR.]


Tsunaida Te (つないだ手)- Lil'B [Non-PV, an alternative should the other get removed. This also has the English translation. Credits to HakuKINkuro.]


Some quick comments: I never knew つないだ手 had such a sad story behind it until both the PV and the English translation was noticed by me. It's really touching actually. Along with that, Golden Time Lover definitely fits FMA this time, in loads of ways! ;D

Day Zero

And the last day of school is over. Officially, anyway.

Yet, it definitely doesn't feel like that. Things are still shifting around, everyone's still working hard, teacher's are still doing what they can.

There wasn't a feeling of sadness, nor a feeling of happiness when the dismissal bell rang.

The feeling was one, though difficult to detect, but intense. It's that of everyone pushing everyone else on for the next challenge, to get up to the top.

Fatigue, lethargy, sleepiness, though all meaning the same thing, it's everything combined into one within many people now. To push on is like getting to the limits, or surpassing it.

Which is why health is of utmost importance now.

With the last 3 weeks ahead, things don't seem pleasant, but we still push on. Onwards to Day 1, the start of hell.

Feathery Week

Hur hur, videos already removed, eh? I'll be adding some back shortly. Let's hope the removal won't be too continuous ._. It's taxing to keep changing links!

On to today's stuff. Or maybe I should say, this WEEK'S stuff.

I feel like I'm turning into a carnivore :o Okay, not that serious per se, but it's more of my meals I've had over the past week. It's feathery, I tell you!

Sunday: Curry Chicken
Monday: Steamed Chicken + KFC
Tuesday: Roast Chicken + Chicken Burger
Wednesday: Some noodles that had hot dog (chicken meat) in it
Thursday: More hot dog stuffs, this time with rice
Friday: Curry Chicken.. again O_o

See where I'm heading towards? I'm turning into a chicken if this continues! :O!

I need to cut down... cut down... before feathers start poking out of my skin! ><

Future in the Present

With reference to one of the newest shows, Flash Forward, of course.

What happens when you know your future?

Is any vision that you see really a gift, or is it just a curse to you?

Will you try to avert that very incident from happening if you know it will happen soon?

What if what you do actually leads you to that very incident itself?

What is your ultimate choice?

Will you continue to move forward when you know what happens?

Is there really something you can do -- to change the future?

Things to ponder about, but it seems relevant enough in the present to think about this. What the future entails, no one knows... yet.

Double Up

Second consecutive post in a span of less than 10 minutes.

I'll keep it short, considering how 'long' my other entry was.

Just a song that I do recall posting, but I decided to post it again. It's a favorite song of mine, you see ;).

Title: Turn Back Time
Artist: Aqua

The original PV [Sound volume is slightly low]


or the louder version (but the sound quality is, uh, a little shaky..). Your choice.

That's How It Is

One last week, eh? Everything is slowly being pieced up, yet the worries still remain that I won't be able to complete my revision on time, which I hope I do, obviously.

Hm. It was really interesting today, though. Starting off very upbeat, then slowly moving downhill till now I don't really feel much, at all.

Worse, is that I have a pile of things in my schedule left undone.

But off from that, I'm on to something else.

People experience many things around them, and no one is an exception. While we try to do our best in many things, there are always those areas where we will definitely miss out on, or fail to get it done well.

It works the same way with people, really. You cannot get the attention of everyone, neither will you get no attention at all. There will always be that one person at least, looking/thinking about you, be it something nasty or good, from the distance...

So, you cannot aim to satisfy everyone. And neither will I do that. It's not in my will to do so, and I don't wish to force ahead, cause it's pointless. Happiness cannot be forced ;).

At the least though, I've gone through much, much more than I've expected in the past 2 years, which is about to come to a resounding end. Of course, even up till now, it's not like I manage to get to know everyone, but I at the least, knew a few who I could depend on, or speak to.

Things just seem to revolve so fast in the coming 20+ days that everything is just in a whirl. And it is in this moment that people need to learn how to relax.

How do they do that? It's really dependent on self, really. My method wouldn't fit some, yet it may be the perfect solution for others. But ultimately, the source of relaxation, and the decision to relax, how long to relax, all lies on you.

That's how it is.

And Your Name Is...

It's interesting to see the Japanese words up there now. I got a surprise myself when I actually saw it :P.

Anyway, I'll do a quick one now. I just did an anagram of my name, following a friend of mine who posted his own name anagram. It seemed interesting so I tried it but I never expected the results I got..

Here are the 3 anagrams I got, using 3 different names:

hence gang nut
hung acne
change nut

I don't know if I should laugh or scream in agony, really. I HAVE A HUNG ACNE!?

Anyway, for those who have a Facebook account, the link to the anagram is here:
http://apps.facebook.com/getanagram/?full_name=________________

Fill in your desired name in the underline above. If you have spacing between your name, add a + for each spacing.

Eg: John Doe - the link will read http://apps.facebook.com/getanagram/?full_name=John+Doe

Eg: What The Hell - the link will read http://apps.facebook.com/getanagram/?full_name=What+The+Hell

Simple!

So, what's YOUR name?

2 Weeks of Mayhem

Down to the final 2 weeks before J2s are officially gone from school and off to their study break, prepping for that one exam.

I can't rely on that weird "Number of Days Left to A's" near the school gate, it's too unreliable. First I see 33, then the next day I see 24? What the hell is that?

But anyway, it's interesting to see small things changing within school. Even better now is that everyone is in the mugging mood. That puts me in the mugging mood, too ;D.

The competitive atmosphere can be felt from lots of places, yet in the midst of it, everyone tries to keep their cool, adding on jokes, keeping spirits high. That's what everyone needs now -- laughter.

The stressful period has taken a toll on some people, from what I've seen, so it's most crucial everyone takes care of their health. Let this feeling rage on and everyone will push ahead towards the gates of hell, beginning Nov. 10th. That's when it starts, right? I can't remember.

If it does, that day is of even more significance to me. It sucks to have my sister's birthday falling right on the first day of exam. Oh well, I feel for those whose birthdays actually fall within the period of time of our A's. Should they feel stressed/anxious for the coming paper, or should they enjoy themselves on that special day? Tough decisions.

Right, off from that really awkward start of the post, I'll just head right into some other 'minor' stuffs.

First up, maybe anyone who still bothers reading my blog, which I oh so have not updated for ages, will notice that the blog name has changed..slightly.* It's just part of what I'm doing to fit my style of the blog, nothing big really, but it is sort of important to me ;).

Next is that if anything fictitious ever appears on the blog, read it as though it was really from a blog post of sorts. If I do have the time, I may just embark on something really interesting :P. It's fictitious, obviously! If I do start an introduction on this all of you will notice it ;).

Lastly is that I realized I haven't posted any of those "inspiring lines" I mentioned some time back. Eheh, I forgot about it :P Sorry! I'll get to it when I can, though. When I mean inspiring, it not necessarily is a boost of morale for A's, oh no. It's just some things in common life that would be useful, I suppose :).

Been a long post, I'll end off here.
