The Reality and Reflection towards a certain argument...+Project B-day done!

Once again, I am back blogging. This week, 10/6-14/6, had been an interesting and fun week. First, I could met with my friends again after our last meet which was during last year christmas. Next, Project B-Day that I was busy doing, had finally completed. (You can see it at the end of the post!^^) Lastly, I went out with my family today! In a way, my week had been fun and all! However, that will have to stop... As much as I love the fun and enjoyment, the reality is still there; my progress of studies is not going well... That's why I intend to smug tonight till next morning- Well, that was my intention at first until... I found myself barely able to open my eyes, let alone think... Sigh... I think my family outing worn me out a lot... Even so, I don't feel regret much since I managed to get what I planned to be done and that is Project B-Day! My sibling scolded me for putting so much effort for this project despite it being for someone else and not myself... To me, maybe it is quite an effort I put in but whether that effort paid off, is another thing... That's why even though I studied very hard, if I could not get the results...Then what is the point in putting so much effort in the first place? Just hope my friend likes the gift I am going to give her in a few months... With that, I think I will end off soon, keeping this post short and all... I think after this week, I need to get serious and smug like crazy; I am really behind my study plan... 

Oh yeah, something to add on. (just remembered...) It would seem that a little argument occurred between my sibling and I... It all started due to the fact that I was saying I did not want to have dinner since I was full (I was saying the truth, not lying at all), and wanted to get home fast too to study...(Played too much...) Then, my sibling kind of got angry that I was being a weirdo, always saying I am full when in reality I am really... She went on, ranting how my behaviour is also similar to my daily life, always not eating and don't seem to be losing weight at all, blah, blah... Well, if there's no output nor input, then of course I would not lose any weight. Btw, I don't eat because I am really full and not on diet... Seriously, I got so annoyed and I became quiet throughout dinner and the ride home... I know my reaction towards this incident was childish but I can't help it; it is like being accused of something that you did not do, the injustice I felt... Sigh, before this turns into a complaining session, I better end here... Somehow, I think I still can't stand up for myself yet and just accept it when in truth, I really feel like proving my point out...  

A showcase of my Project B-Day as promised:







Here's the artwork I used to printed on the shirt:

Sorry to all if the artwork sucks... And also, sorry to the two characters I drawn, Fate and Nanoha for my bad drawing and colouring skills... I will be posting this and the non-coloured piece on deviantart. My deviantart account is shade1995

Before I end off, I like to introduce a nice OST from Devil Survivior 2 The Animation that was played in episode 10! It was a nice piece! Enjoy! (Spoiler for those who have not watched which include me... If you don't want to get spoiled, just listen to the song and don't watch the video...)

Till then, ciao~

Dinner with Sec Sch Friends, new experiences and...Project B-Day!

It's been a while since I blogged. Today, I had dinner together with my Secondary School friends. (Yes, friends...I finally came to terms that they are true friends who I could rely on; I was too negative that my definition or rather expectations for friends are too extreme and unreasonable...) The dinner may be a bit expensive but it is worth it since it's been some time since I met up with them. I am still awkward with them and have my reservations in talking to them since I have to watch my words as compared to another friend of mine whom I could talk with more ease and she would listen.-It's like having a listening ear by your side whenever you need help or just need to voice out something...Even so, I am still a shy person so I still bottled up my feelings and all...Most of the time, those feelings are either voiced out in my blog or in my stories which are still on hold due to my examinations...(Reassure! Once I am free from the clutches of exams, I will start writing and get busy with it!-Can't wait for it!^^) Okay, I think I am rambling too much now; let's get back on track.

Today was quite an eye opener for me since I experienced 2 scary incidents which to many, they would just plainly stated 'it happened b'cos I was dumb...' First incident... On my way to the meeting place, a 'friendly' guy came up to me and talked to me so quickly that I could not make up much what he was saying but one thing was for sure... He's there to ask me to buy some pens for donation purposes... Being a kind soul, I always felt bad rejecting people and went ahead to buy the pens to support whatever donation organisation it was... Later, after the dinner, I went to buy what my siblings requested and got separted from my friends... Before I knew it, I was dragged to a beauty store that at first, was gving out free samples...I was in a daze as my friend called me and I did not pick up... Then this lady just passed me the sample and before knew it, she 'invited' me to the beauty store to 'teach' me how to use when in actual fact, she was just trying to sell off her products... Again, being the kind soul, I felt hard to reject but still held on too my decision of not buying... After much declining the lady's offer, she finally let go and boy was I relieved! This just showed how naive I was of the outside world... In a way, it was a gd experience but scary at first...It was like I just stepped into a lion den and barely came out alive...(Okay, maybe I am exaggerating too much but it really felt that way to me...I think I will think twice in accepting any offers to me from now on...) And now, you will just say I must be a dumb person now...Sigh...

Enough of the gloomy stuff, I had started a new project; Project B-Day. It is actually a self-made present for my friend which is... DRUMROLL, please! A T-shirt! (Hey! Don't give that face!) You may be thinking a T-shirt is nothing special but... It will be a shirt with my artwork on! The problem is whether she will like it.-A very big problem whenever I was doing a DIY present... Nonetheless, with the support of my family, I pushed on and YES! The artwork is finally done though it is still in the midst of being coloured... Here's a small peek at it!



Before colouring...

After colouring a bit here and there...(Not done though...)

If you do watch MGLN, you would know the two girls! To be frank...I actually liked Fate with her hair down and not tied up while Nanoha should tie her hair up instead...But, to be fair, I decided to have both their hairs down... As you can see the colouring wasn't good since I screwed up in choosing the colouring for the characters and the clothing, especially Nanoha's hair...(Sorry Nanoha...) As an artist, sometimes, I felt bad when drawing a character badly that is not mine...It is like doing injustice to both the creator and the character him or herself... Even so, I pressed on and tried to do what I can to finish it before Friday... (Once done, I will post it to my deviantart account!^^)

Well then, that's about it I guessed... I think today could be said to be both a gd experience and that maybe it was meant for me to experience the true nature of the world! Also, I met my classmate on the way and I think maybe it wasn't such a bad day after all with my classmate's encouraging towards SA2! And with that, I end here! Till next time, signing off! Ciao~

Part 3: MGLN innocent chapter 7 review

After a 5 hours sleep, I am (kinda) recharged! Well then, as said, part 3 of the 3-parts special! Enjoy!

This is a quick summary of the story so far! Looks like the competition is in the form of a ball game... So then previously, from the last chapter 6(Spoilers if you've not read...), apparently, Nanoha, Arisa and Suzuka faced off with the National champion who is none other than...

Stern from the dark material team who is based on Nanoha in the PSP game! (P.S. This is not part of the chapter; it's here to show some background...) If you've read the first chapter, you'll know that Fate is ranked second...Which makes me curious as to who is the first and there you have it! Well, no surprise since in MGLN, Nanoha could be said to be the strongest but since she is not in the game yet... The dark material who techically has the same barrier jacket, device and even magic as Nanoha would be the first! Enough rambling, let's start!

The battle continues with a wonderful combination of pass between Suzuka to Arisa before trying to attack the enemy but sadly...

The plan did not work that well...(What did you expect?- That girl is the National Champion!)

Worried faces as the ball is with the opposing team while Hayate is smiling...(Don't know why is she in her barrier jacket...) If you did not read the last chapter, Fate and her cute sister, Alicia acted as Nanoha, Arisa and Suzuka cheering team!

Counter attack by Stern...

Ganbatte Nanoha!

Hayate requesting a time-out...

Meeting for some tactics...

Seems like the team is still strong in spirits!

Hayate the good advisor!

O.o seems like Vita has the face of 'I want to help too...' and...

Off she goes, giving a card to Arisa which will support the team! (Am I sensing a possible pairing; ArisaXVita? Read on to find out cos there are more hints later on!)

Stern getting serious!-Scary...

Those perverts... I guess that long barrier jacket has its cons... At this point, you wonder what is Stern doing, pulling her dress up, showing her bare legs, soaring high and get shock at what she does next!

Using her leg to kick the ball with an addition of some magic added! (That ball sure is something!- It did not break after being engulfed with the flames!)

What's the plan, N-A-S(Nanoha-Arisa-Suzuka) Team?

To reflect the ball to...Arisa and then...

Hit the ball as if it is baseball to...

Nanoha who at this point, has picked up a skill Fate used and preparing her attack! (A short NanoFate scene!)

With that, (I think it is divine buster and not SLB) Nanoha going full power to shoot the ball to Stern who...

Just broke out a sweat or two and in her mind, thinking: 'are you for real?'  

Kaboom! Did we get her? Well, Stern really is something, surviving that beam without much a scratch! (Then again, Stern is based on Nanoha so naturally she has Nanoha's strong defensive magic! I must say this again, that ball is something! Not breaking or even a dent... I guessed in a game, physics don't apply much since humans can fly...) Even so...

N-A-S team still wins! Wow, in a short amount of time, they just gained so much fame!

The majestry is trying hard not to show her happiness...

Vita joined the team in a highfive for the victory while Nanoha and Stern talked and...

Becomes friends! (Maybe just now, it was SLB since it was said that, that was Nanoha's way of befriending someone but I may be wrong...Looking closely, if Nanoha does not have the twintails, I bet Stern and her can be twins...)

NanoFate time; Fate thinking about Nanoha and Alicia noticing it... Seems like Alicia is quite accepting since at the beginning:

When Fate and Nanoha were sharing their moments, she gets...Jealous? Oh well...(P.S. This is from earlier chapter; it is just for references!)

Another VitaXArisa moment there...

The story turns its focus to the florian sisters who did not make much of an appearance yet...Only at the first 2 chapters...

Talking about food before Amite pouts about something...(Can't read japanese, sorry about that...)

This manga is great since old characters who are like forgotten in MGLN series are back with more roles and not excluded! This manga also shows a lot of hints that fans of yuri would like! Examples:

Arisa getting jealous at Suzuka talking with the Majestry...ArisaXSuzuka...

LindyXPrecia moment!- Precia sure is cute being dragged by Lindy for running away and leaving a doll to take over her position...

And, the favourite: NANOFATE moment! Nice seeing this obvious intereactions!

Sadly, their moment just got interrupted...After all, it is a public place...

Basically, this manga could be said to be going along with many yuri fans' wishes! I admitted that NanoFate pairing is great so yeah, I do love such scenes! Just noticed that no boys are introduced so far except for the Doctor in the Florian Girls' side... Yunno and Chrono not making appearance? I guess in MGLN, boys don't stand much ground in there...Sigh... The sad truth...

Well then, hope all enjoy! Sorry if the comments made are wrong since they are based on what I see and not from what I understand cos I can't read japanese...Until next time, ciao~

Part 2: MGLN Vivid chapter 49 Review

Chapter 49 cover with Vivio and  Miura(A possible couple: VivioXMiura?) 

Seems like Hayate and Nove sense something!- Hope they realised there's a weird girl, kidnapping the girls...(Spoiler if you've not read the last chapter: Einhart is already a victim...)

On the other hand, Seiglinde is fighing hard with that weird girl's minion which is small and hard to hit...However...Hate to say this but Seiglinde...

As much as you want to destroy that annoying fly, could you refrain from DESTROYING THE BOOKS?- Though I am asking the impossible...(This reminds of a scene in TRC in which the fighting setting is the same; in a library and Syaoran tried his best to fight while protecting the books though there was no need to...)

At here, I assumed that Seiglinde has a child form or that the annoying fly just did something cos...

That fly came back to its owner with a wide smile that said, 'mission accomplished' or something along this line... Anyway, Corona and the lightning knight are the next targets... (Hope they don't ended up as victims too, considering the number of minions of that weird girls that they have to face in the next page!)

Please be in one piece with your clothes and everything!

Next target: Vivio or Miura? (From the looks of it, Miura should be the one but that just confuses me... Isn't that girl trying to get the Belken girls?)

Here comes the attack that will put one in a jar without clothes...(Damm what kind of spell is that?) "Not if I can stop it!" Said Miura's Knight in shining armour, Vivio Takamachi!

Wow, Miura's blushing while Vivio successfully defends or rather counters the attack and that...

Pissed off the weird girl... Her minion just got toasted... Will that be enough to stop her?

Well then, think again as the weird girl unleashed her attack this time instead having her minions doing her work all the time...

And, looking at this scene, I've a bad feeling and I was...

Right... Miura got eaten, put in jar without clothes...Sigh...When is this insanty going to end? (Wonder what happen to Vivio...)

And, we come back to how Corona and the lightning knight are doing.- They're clearly holding up pretty good though with the master back... I wonder how long can they last...Ganbatte girls!  

If you can see, at the top right hand corner, seems like the other girls are also captured... Hayate is hot in the investigation...(Hayate, please quickly realised before everyone is captured in jars, naked...

Since I can't read japanese, assumption again: Hayate is either setting up her barrier jacket or using some spell like 'wide area search'? After all, this is called the INFINITE library...

The poor girls... I can't look any longer...

However... Seems like the girls trapped have counter attacks planned...

Hope it works!

Yes! Another cute scene where the threesome makes an appearance! Wonder how Jeremiah looks like without the hood...Got a feeling that the weird is related to the threesome in some ways... O.o Seems like someone to the rescue! (Nove? Hayate? Well, you wouldn't expect...)

Lutecia, Chris and Tio to the rescue!

Introduction and greetings first before...

I eat you up but...(You taste horrible...)

Sad to say, that did not work and instead...Vivio is rescued!  (Good thing that she's still small or else my eyes...) And, another win for...

Tio, the chibi tiger! Saving your master away from clutches of that weird girl! Good job, Tio!

With that, it's time for a face-off to see who gets those two naked girls...Lutecia VS The weird girl! Stay tune to the next issue that only comes out after a month or so...(This reminds of a joke in which the characters stay this way for a month before their stories can continue and the heroine just took a seat while waiting for that one month to come!)

And this is MGLN Vivid chapter 49! Hope all love it! Sorry to all if it bothers you that real name of that weird girl and the lightning knight were not used but the nicknames I gave to them...And that, the photos taken were not of a high quality... In addition, as I can't read japanese, sorry to all if my deductions based on the pictures are wrong... (Small changes...Apparently, part 3 will have to be done tomorrow since it is quite late already and I still have work to do...)

With that, I'll be signing off now! Hope you readers enjoy it!
