FMA ends.

the series that started it all for me.

*mourns*

it ended all too perfectly.
but i love the irony - defying the meaning of "fullmetal", then the very meaning of "alchemist" itself.


embarrassing reminiscing stuff.

this was the series that started all the craziness, that plunged me into this world, the turning point that determined how i am now (japan-crazy, as my family puts it, and knowing a lot of interesting things and people).
remember when we were a little younger, and relatively stress-free? we spent our breaks rushing through tankoubons, drawing the FMA symbol on the class board, and all over our worksheets and notebooks and any available surface, fangirling like only fangirls can, and enjoying every single minute of it.
ahh, the days. the discoveries.

i'm glad i was, and am part of the madness. i salute the people behind it (you guys know who you are).



over these 4 years (yeah, i've not quite graduated from a noob yet), i've gone from the volumes, to zomgfta's scanlations, then to the really fast but really bad scanlations on onemanga when zomgfta gave up.
though FMA wasn't the shiniest nor had the prettiest bishies, its emotions were the rawest and its fights were the most interesting. [edit: OMG i forgot - THE MOST EPIC OMAKES EVER. ever.]
and i think i'll still be able to draw that symbol 30 years down the road.

so, it's over. (i suppose it's a good thing it didn't drag for long.)
i guess i can always read it again. or finally get down to watch the anime. or stalk arakawa-sensei. or save and buy the books.

after all, it's just the beginning of many more good things to come.

*haaaahhhh*

the lab report's in, 2.4's over and i'm feeling a hell lot better than i have this whole week.

okay, some stuff to gush about.

1. i love this line from UVERworld's ハイ!問題作 (from the new album LAST).
あの曲が好き “はかないえいきゅうの…なんとか”

the shameless advertising, the acknowledgment of the countless mispronunciations of 儚くも永久のカナシ and the way takuya∞ says it is just ... cute. (the "∞" is obligatory :D)
ohmigod so cute.
it's disturbing how i am taking to the cutest song in the whole album so quickly.

full lyrics here if you want.
will review this if can!


2. FMA.
was/ is 震撼! (i'm sorry that's not grammatically correct.)
i'm not sure about the stage of progression of the plot, things still seem to be happening.

and this moved me in ways i cannot explain.




3. THE SHANGHAI EXPO INTERNATIONAL MUSIC EXTRAVAGANZA ANGMOH GUY.
okay, i went to do research: he's called Vitas and he's russian.
OMG HIS VOICE. O: his falsetto is so pure! i bid all aspiring tenors to go listen!
and his range!! i've heard guys go higher, but never while singing a chinese song about mountains and rivers. it makes your hairs stand on ends.

he just owned about everyone else invited, IMO.
(who cares about Rain? *shrugs*)


4. watch this.



apple fans, i'm really sorry. P: even i winced when he started smashing it. the iPad is truly beautiful even with all its problems with flash.
watch it in HD! it's all the more morbidly fascinating.
if it catches your fancy, you can also go watch him blend lightsticks, magnets, fake diamonds and other equally interesting stuff.


良い一週であるように。

「『ありえない』なんて事はありえない」

i loved that line.
um, new greed is good and all because i haven't heard the old one before. but he was entertaining all the same. (; haha it reminded me of last night with the g00 drama cd.

google now lets gmail users satisfy their OCD nature and set your own colours for gmail! since their themes all more or less suck, of course i ran off to find my own colours.
found this colour palette that has the sexiest greys ever. i want to slather my (real) walls with them. it was the only colour palette that i thought was pretty enough to look at everyday.

sigh my sis wants to quit jap. i think she should have the right to choose, but now it seems like i had a part to play in it.
she's arguing with my parents almost everyday about this. uzai.
plus she doesn't know the meaning of "tact".

and O.O wth i just got prohibited from going out on weekends in the school term. again. "10 weeks only mah!" =.=
and for no good reason, too.

i think the more we drift away, the more restraints we're gonna get, the both of us.

must make use of this holiday to the fullest!

What Guys Do In The Toilet.

OMFGWTH.

they raep each other wth.

okay i shall hereby recount this epic incident without mentioning any names!

what happened was, insane and i were walking past the guys toilet at the right wing when there was this abnormal amount of noise coming from the guys toilet. so obviously we turned back to look. then WTF there was this bunch of guys trying to push this guy X out of the toilet. the main point is, he, er, looked like he was going swimming (he was freaking 3/4 nekkid wts no shirt no PANTS). i was like *turns around* *sees it* *whips back again* "WTHHHHHH".
and they know we saw them.

yeah.

and insane didn't see everything because she was in the wrong place. lucky me.

i hope my parents don't see this ...

afterwards we interviewed certain people and apparently it's a common phenomenon in high school.

it's quite funny now if you think about it but walao! X! you have a freaking fanclub in hc! if i took a photo (if i could at that point of time) it would be worth 100 times more money than ct's!

which was why i was quite shocked at first.

anyway, moral of the story - never look into male toilets that are emitting an abnormal amount of noise. it never bodes well.


--

okayyyyyy shall talk about more normal stuff.

the long-awaited fma ep 1!

is pretty!

ed is done really nicely! :D and all the alchemy, i can see all the animation budget well used~

filler ep as first ep, but mustang's cool entrance is goneeeeeee!><

and omg mustang sounds weird (deeper than i imagined) and he's not that cool anymore! please spend more animation budget on mustang. and i'm not used to al's voice. but kimblee's is totally creepy and wonderful. :D

HUGHES IS SO CUTE.

HAHA what is with the angmoh guy who says "Fullmetal Alchemist!" in the middle.



watched 07-Ghost!
because i was scrolling through anime-media and it caught my attention because
OMFG the BISHIEEEEEEEEEEEEES!***.*** and the UNIFORMMMMM.
*dies from prettiness*
