Have been aimlessly surfing the website again, spotted BOA's new video, "Eat you Up".
Which I may say, has a catchy tune that makes people groove along with it. Quite amazing I may say, the whole video and her.

Just came back from the hospital today, the grandpa who was staying beside my dad just left for "Renci" to attend more therapy seesions. The good thing is that his condition is improving for the better, rather than sitting at there feeling depressed early few weeks, he is smiling much more and begin to eat his meals.
He was really depressed the past week, didn't move from the bed, and neither did he ate his meal, but well, at least he's taking his meals promptly right now :)
There are many different patients, from different family background, but most important is to maintain and keep a strong positive and cheerful mindset.
Hope miracles and light may shine upon them, no matter where they are, so they may take flight for life right now :) , my strong wishes and prayers to all.

Utada's my favourite singer as always, the sole singer I really like in person too :)
Her song Final Distance has a history behind it, taken from newspaper articles and wikipedia, quite a really sad one, as of below:-
"Distance" originally appeared in the Distance album, and was planned to be released as a single. However, Utada heard of a school stabbing rampage in which 6 year old schoolgirl Rena Yamashita (山下玲奈) had died. Rena had previously won an essay competition; writing about how she wanted to become a singer just like Utada. Utada decided to rearrange the song into ballad form, creating the song "Final Distance". The Japanese Ministry of Education decided to incorporate Hikaru Utada's ballad "Final Distance" in the high school music textbook starting spring semester 2001, which was announced on 8th of April. In order to pass the proposal, they needed 313 points. The proposal was passed with 319 points. They will be targeting high school students in their second year to test the new curriculum. According to the publisher of arts in education, the song was chosen because it is closely familiar with high school students.
More information about the massacre:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osaka_school_massacre
I teared up when i heard this, Utada is really a great person, a person that I can hear life and passion in her music :)
If you've heard all her songs, you will know what I mean, her songs still held innocence that singers now lost, yet there's life.
her video in remix version as of below, the sadder version you can search in youtube:-,

I know. LOL. But animes are a great source of gaining experience and knowing morals and etc of the outside world/ something you wouldn't be able to learn in school or maybe understand in life.
You will understand more of life through anime.
I know.
It's unbelievable, or you may think it's ridiculous, but it's true. Some animes are really touching, some full of comedy stuffs, some on life lessons. Once you've watched animes, you will find yourself understanding more of life. :)

Mom just bought Red Alert 3 (RA3) yesterday, and I've started playing/demostrating for her to see how it's played.
After meddling with the functions and so, it's quite easy to navigate. At the beginning, there was so many functions that needed to be remember =.= quite complicated, but I've managed it .
The graphics for RA3, are amazing, high graphics quality and also many new features and new artillery.

Bought "Really Raw honey" imported from the USA, from Guardian today at $46.90.
It's so yummy! and definitely worth the money. Bought it for dad and i.
Why I choose to get this honey is because it has propolis that most types of honey doesn't have. So, if you're intending on getting honey do note to carry out your research first before getting one.

Just finished our demo lessons today at "Beyond Language School". The teacher who is a Japanese, went through vocabulary and grammer using videos and songs.
He's kind of playful though, LOL, kept playing with the toys(to show how to communicate), but overall how they teach students using videos/movies and songs was quite interesting.

Socrates is a famous "Classical Greek Philosopher", his student Plato. Socrates is renowned for his concepts Socratic irony and the Socratic method.
To me, his philosophies and view points are worth admiring to and learning from. Only when you have read about his stories or quotes, will you, then understand and learn what he is trying to impart to people.
Below, are two so called short-stories relating to Socrates.
Taken from the book "Socrates In Love" by Christopher Philips
Socrates, alarmed that his peers increasingly pursued a life that promised only "the semblance of success", was determined to inspire them to pursue a life that no amount of money or material goods could but.
So it is, he said, that "I spend my time going about trying to persuade all of you, young and old, that your first and chief concern should not be for your bodies or possessions, but for the highest welfare of your soul."
Yet, some forms of excess can elevate the human experience, can make it possible for us to be more loving and caring. Socates believed there were certain types of wealth of which one could never have too much - a wealth of empathy, of goodness.
Xenophon, the Greek historian and contemporary of Socrates, notes that Socrates praised those who choose "rather to hoard up a treasure of learning and knowledge than of money."
Socrates called these the "true riches" because they "enrich with virtue the minds of those that possess them."
Eros ~ pg 44-45
Taken from "Ancient Greece" by Matthew Dillon and Lynda Garland
Antiphon approached Socrates with the intention of taking his companions away from him, and in their presence spoke as follows: 'Socrates, I always thought that philosphers ought to become happier people; but you seem to me to have derived the opposite from philosophy. At all events, you live in such a way that not even a slave under a master would be able to endure; your food and drink are of the poorest kind, and you not only wear a poor cloak but wear the same one sumer and winter, and always go barefoot and without a tunic. Besides, you won't take money, which gladdens its receivers and makes those who possess it live more freely and pleasantly. The teachers of other occupations try to make their students imitate themselves, but, if you are disposed to make your companions do that you must think yourself a teacher of misery.'... '
You seem to think, Antiphon, that happiness comprises luxury and extravagance; but my view is that wanting nothing is divine, and to want as little as possible comes closet to the divine, and as that which is divine is supreme, that which approaches neares to the divine is nearest to the supreme.'

I'm officially going to quit school today!
Submitted my application forms to University of Leicester just yesterday and they are helping me process it right now. hahs. After that, will officially be a University student. lols.
To begin on my other journey, getting a "Certificate in Archaeology" and "Diploma in Archaeology"
There are like 6 modules I have to complete, they are separated into 3/4months focusing on 2 modules before going to the next modules.
Kind of excited about starting this, although I've did self-studies about my history on ancient Greece and ancient Egypt. But really am rubbing my fist/hands in anticipation right now.

Well, regarding the previous post, I'm sorry I'll be posting it probably by this week the lastest? Feeling a bit tad lazy.
Regarding to this post, it's about bishounen in Japanese which means "handsome guys" with a cool personality. The few I can name it out would be from "FF13 versus":- Nero, Doc and Speedy. Don't have many information about them because the game itself is not out yet in the markets.
(First in the picture is Speedy, middle is Nero and last is Doc)
Another few I admired so are from "Resident Evil Degeneration":- Leon S.Kennedy. He has a cool personality with some neat tricks up on his sleeves with his guns. He's also a gentleman and really is a suave young man.
There are still a lot of bishies that I have in mind.
I'm not that fond of admiring real-life men because they're are arrogant and ignorant, most guys I presume. If there's a guy that's different from any ordinary guy, well he's a guy that will be able to make me admire his personality. Honestly, even I don't think my brother is any better than ordinary guys you see on the streets today.
I'm a person who believes that self-preparation in any form is needed to protect your family or your ownself, when something occurs. Therefore, I have deep faith in everything I do. Most importantly, I trust that anything out of either the ordinary or not may or may not happen so being prepared for the worst is best.
Sometimes its important to face one's deep fears and past so to face your own future, nevertheless whether it's minor or not.
