I'll Be Brief

Don't have anything to write anyways.

ARENA 01: Shana [Nakano Azusa]
ARENA 02: [Nagato Yuki] Suzumiya Haruhi
ARENA 03: Isurugi Noe [Yuasa Hiromi]
ARENA 04: Suminoe Ako [Suminoe Riko]
ARENA 05: [Morishima Haruka] Tanamachi Kaoru
ARENA 06: Faye Valentine [Kusanagi Motoko]
ARENA 07: [Kino] Fujioka Haruhi
ARENA 08: Asahina Suzuka [Sakurai Honoka]
ARENA 09: [Maka Albarn] Yōko
ARENA 10: Belldandy [Honda Tōru]

The Rookie Goes BOOM!

My last votes for ISML DE Winners' Bracket 3 was like this....

ARENA 01: [Misaka Mikoto] Akiyama Mio
ARENA 02: [Sanzen'in Nagi] Hirasawa Yui
ARENA 03: [Saber] Sakagami Tomoyo
ARENA 04: Himeji Mizuki [Shimada Minami]
ARENA 05: Inami Mahiru [Taneshima Poplar]
ARENA 06: [Busujima Saeko] Kumashiro Maya
ARENA 07: [Isara Gunther] Skuld
ARENA 08: Index Librorum Prohibitorum [Shirai Kuroko]
ARENA 09: [Primula] Seto Sun
ARENA 10: Princess Sapphire [Abstained] Yumeno Sally

But it appears Mio survived to the final round, with 5318 votes compared to Mikoto's 4626... D:

There's still hope though, if she could pull through from Losers' Bracket 6 they'll have another rematch.. But it would mean that she'll be going against either Shana or Azunyan..

Guess I'll go with Mikoto to the end then. Sorry girls, but IMHO she had a rougher life than the two of you.

It's Not Like I Got Nothing to Write...

But I just forgotten what I wanted to, so here's my ISML DE Losers' Bracket 4 votes instead

ARENA 01: Shana [Katsura Hinagiku]
ARENA 02: Aisaka Taiga [Nakano Azusa]
ARENA 03: [Saber] Hirasawa Yui
ARENA 04: Sakagami Tomoyo [Sanzen'in Nagi]
ARENA 05: Lala Satalin Deviluke [Sairenji Haruna]
ARENA 06: Soga Keena [Umenomori Chise]
ARENA 07: [Kirishima Shōko] Kannagi Noël
ARENA 08: Nogizaka Haruka [Tsukamoto Yakumo]
ARENA 09: [Akashiya Moka] Maaka Karin
ARENA 10: Clarisse [Lum Invader]

Freelancer Alpha 1-1

I was trying to find information about being a freelance reviewer.

No, it wasn't an idea out of the blue, I've been thinking about that ever since my 3rd year in college.

It's just that... I like to write. I always said that I'm a better writer than a speaker, even though my speech skills have improved dramatically since last year. I just feel like I could say anything in written words, even the most embarrassing things.

What will I review? Well, I was thinking about stuffs like websites, articles, movies, games, animes, or whatever else. I'm quite confident with my analyzing skill.

I've been asking around as well to my friends, I hope they got the information that I need.

Because I really despise the idea of being "a professional engineer" or any other similar bullshit. I mean, can't they see that I've been suffering for 6 years just studying it?? How in the hell could they think that I would have even the slightest spark of interest on continuing it for my own living??

But of course I'll be continuing my networking job as well, that's the only way I could achieve my completely-ridiculous-for-normal-people dreams.

Curfew in Your Own House = Ridiculous

Before going to bed:

ARENA 01: [Katsura Hinagiku] Nagato Yuki
ARENA 02: [Aisaka Taiga] Suzumiya Haruhi
ARENA 03: Hiiragi Kagami [Fujibayashi Kyō]
ARENA 04: [Senjōgahara Hitagi] Sengoku Nadeko
ARENA 05: Hayase Mitsuki [Suzumiya Haruka]
ARENA 06: Yasuri Nanami [Yukimura Chizuru]
ARENA 07: Celty Sturluson [Mina Tepes]
ARENA 08: Lacus Clyne [Sakihata Rimi]
ARENA 09: [Minase Akiko] Kamio Haruko
ARENA 10: Kuronuma Sawako [Shindō Chihiro]

Kthxbye

Trigger-happy Public Speaker

This morning I found that my nose still got blood in it, and it's black colored now to add.. :(
Well, at least it doesn't annoy me like it used to.

My father asked me to talk to a Toyota car dealer from Auto 2000, something about having leather for the seats. If it was the old me, I wouldn't even know what or how do I ask it. Now I can even ask stuffs like how long the guy's been working on his profession without him feeling awkward. :D

I wanna rest for a bit, been playing TF2 on some Unlimited score 2Fort map for 4 hours++, made some friends too. Feels nice sitting on the 2nd place of the scoreboard with 400+ score - with some crazy guy on top with 1000++. God knows how long have he been playing. O_o

But before I go, I'd like to announce an outstanding news:
Mikoto defeated Shana on the DE Winners' Bracket Round 2 of ISML!!!

Azusa got eliminated by Mio, but I do believe she'll come out ok. I even have faith that she'll face Mikoto in the final round.

That's it for now, gotta go and do my afternoon prayer. Cheers, mate.

DE Winners' Bracket Round 2

It's been a while since the last ISML match that made me walk around the house for more than 10 minutes just to pick a vote.

I did say that I'm supporting Shana, Mikoto, and Azusa for the Tiara. It became really hard to pick now that it came to Shana vs Mikoto match. -___-a

In the end I decided to vote for Mikoto, since Shana had already won 4 necklaces this year. To win the Tiara as well would be an overkill, don't you agree?

Anyway, here are my votes

ARENA 01: Shana [Misaka Mikoto]
ARENA 02: Akiyama Mio [Nakano Azusa]
ARENA 03: [Fujibayashi Kyō] Senjōgahara Hitagi
ARENA 04: Sengoku Nadeko [Hiiragi Kagami]
ARENA 05: Asakura Nemu [Shirakawa Kotori]
ARENA 06: [Amano Tōko] Nino
ARENA 07: [Erza Scarlet] Lisanna
ARENA 08: [Chii] Sōseiseki
ARENA 09: [Amamiya Yūko] Himemiya Chikane
ARENA 10: [Ichijo Eika] Shinguji Sakura

Well, I guess it would have been a lot more harder should it was a Mikoto vs Azusa match.

The End is the Beginning

Ta
Dai
Ma~!!


It always feels good to be back home, no matter where you were from. This year's Idul Fitri was fun as well, thanks to my cousins who came along, I really don't know what will happen should none of them were not able to.

Here's why:
1. Those silly cats from last year were not there (damn shame indeed... :( )
2. It rained nearly every single night, which didn't really helped anything to the cold weather
3. The only entertainment I got before they arrived was my brothers NDS, which he also used to play as well. Well, at least I got my books to kill time.
4. The cookies ran out pretty fast :(
5. We hardly went anywhere, thanks to the weather and the traffic.

So, yeah, the whole vacation would fall to pieces should none of them came. It would have been perfect had Rissa and Iman were there - especially on the 'laugh-at-the-radio-shows-for-hours' part, they couldn't go because their father was ill. I really hope that he'll get well soon.

I do earned some achievements there though, lessee.... Ah yes, I beat Fire Emblem - Shadow Dragon.


I also continued Castlevania - Order of Eclesia from where I left it long ago.And finally kicked the karate-kicking-maniac-laughing Dracula's butt.


And I finished the "Magic of Thinking Big" book again.


I really recommend all those three activities for you to try them out as well. :D

But something bothered me though, when we were arrived on Padang, my head got so screwed up because of the pressure from the landing that I got 2 days straight of headache. And on the next day I got a semi-permanent nose-bleeding, which lasted for a few days. Today the blood has stopped flowing, but it's still there; I still spit in red/chocolate sometimes.

Well, that's all for now guys, my trigger-finger's itchy..

Homeward Bound Part 2

I'm going home to Bukit Tinggi tomorrow!

Gotta admit that it would feel a little bit lonely without Leno-chan around this year, but this time we won't be going home by ourselves, some of my cousins will come as well, although they'll be coming 4 days after we do. I really hope it will be more fun this way.
We'll be leaving tomorrow morning after sahur, I hope it won't be so chilly, I don't want to catch the morning cold.

Now I need to find someone who could fill my ISML votes for me while I'm away, can't miss the double elimination period, especially with a certain flame-haze dominating around.
My votes for this year's Tiara are for her, Mikoto, and Azusa, I hope one of them wins.

By the way I just watched K-ON!! episode 22, even though I already what will happen since the manga had covered this part already, the anime made it more touching, as usual.
And since I've graduated as well, that episode felt a little bit more personal to me. Nice going, girls.

Now, it might be a little bit too early, but I might not be able to say it when I got home, who knows what will happen. So, I'm going to say it now, in Indonesian (I think it's starting to become a habit, but whatever).

"Selamat hari raya Idul Fitri, minal aidin wal faidzin, mohon maaf lahir dan batin"

To you, my readers, thank you for your support by reading this blog up till now. I hope you have a good time with your family as well this year!

Let's see if those silly cats from last year are still around back home.

A "Leek"y Birthday

Leno-chan was finally down since a week ago, her LCD broke... Again...
This is the third time already, just what is wrong with it?

It's still kind of sweet to think that she was able to hold on until I finished my final project. Now she had a track record of graduating two people from ITB, one of which was my friend who had graduated around a year ago, he borrowed her for presentation since he had forgotten his laptop.

Well, I gotta tell you, even though my brother had a PC that's almost as good as Cobalt would be next month at home, it's still troublesome without Leno-chan around.

For example, I can't keep track of important birthdays since there's no NeoBirthday (a birthday reminder program) here. Hence, I forgot that yesterday was Miku's birthday.

So, without delaying it any longer..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HATSUNE MIKU!!

I'd also like to take this chance to thank you for filling my playlist with your songs, and I hope that more people will like your songs as well.

That's all for now, I'll update more before going back to Bukit Tinggi on Saturday.
Cheers.

Oh by the way, is there anyone out there who got some weird cellphone problem like being unable to contact anyone due to some memory card virus?
