The Final Countdown Begins!



Due to unforseen events and circumstances, i think i would need to step up the pace starting November. Things will even get harder from this point forward, but i have no other options but to do so.

This is probably my Year's Final countdown so to speak and with the remaining days that are left available to me, i wonder if i will be able to break the deadline that i had set upon myself. Well anyways, things may look difficult for now but i guess this is something that must happen.

The end of the year is just barely 2 months away and that time is far too short for the things that i wanted to do. Moving along those lines, a few obstacles has presented along the way as well. Meh~ it seems that the last quarter of this year has given me nothing but aches and worries and i hope by the end of this year, all these worrying and aches will be forever forgotten.

And yes, this is just my usual rambling for the week that has passed. I'll post a review during the weekends and i hope that you guys will look forward to it.

Till then...

1 Step Forward 2 steps back


I had completely gotten used to my sleep/wake routine and everything seems to be fine as of late. With that out of the picture, i just quietly sat back and thought about the things that i had done in the past. As you may already know, at the start of this year i shared with you some of the things that i wanted to do in the future.

The one thing that kept me motivated is the phrase "If it is worth having, it's not going to be easy". Yeah, all of us have things that we wanted to do. Some of us have it hard, and some find it easy. Although those that didn't have a hard time in getting what they want, feel sort of "anti-climactic".

It's not that hard to imagine and most people would say "Sheesh, it was easier than i thought". Oh yeah~ learning another language and doing the things that you wanted to do is not a walk in the park. In fact, if you are really interested in learning something, you need to have the attitude to make it work.

I'll be honest, sometimes my laziness gets in the way of things. The "I'll do it later", "I'll do it tomorrow" kind of thing. This is the one attitude that i would really really really really....(you get the picture right?) really...want to get rid off.

*Sighs*

Well, even so I'm fairly satisfied on what i had done so far. Another issue that i would like to share is reaching my goal, without stepping on other people. Everyone wants to live peacefully. Nobody wants to have enemies. But, life is a journey that is full of ups and downs. Danger and anxiety always lurks around the corner of our lives. Last week, i did something unthinkable.

I forgave someone (in my heart) whom i really hated for a very long time now. There were even times when i told myself that "Even if God forgives him, I won't forgive him". Meh~~ i guess i just want to move forward with my life without the ache that is constantly eating out my heart. I'll just put that episode behind and will not look back.

This year I swear to myself that i will accomplish what i had started. Hopefully, no more obstacles and heartaches will be strong enough to make me waver. A few years from now, i want to look back at all the posts that i made in this blog and put a smile in my face.

I'll be able to trace the hardships that i had been through and tell myself "You did great! I'm very proud of you!"




Well, future me...i hope you remember this post well! You were here once! and never forget everything that you have done to reach this point! Lastly, don't wipe that silly grin on your face.

Till next time...

It's the NEET thing to DO =)



In the modern world (our modern world), there are people that have a hard time in finding a job after they finish their studies. In some countries, particularly Japan...these people are called NEET's (Not in Employment Education or Training).

They are branded as the so called, rejects of society and these people often lose sight of their future and just "goes wit the flow" of things. It's sad but, it doesn't just happen in Japan but all over the world.

Now, the review that i am going to share with you is a group of NEET's, that is doing something to make their city a better place to live in.

And of course, since this week's title is "It's a NEET thing to do" then, most of you has an idea on what anime title we will be featuring this week. You're right, it is non other than "Kamisama no Memochou", which also means God's Notebook.



Narumi Fujishima is a highschool student that doesn't want to stand out in class. The reason is because, he doesn't want to be associated with anyone. He thinks that knowing people would just get in the way, if their family decides to move away once again.

His so called "peaceful days" became extinct when a girl named Shinozaki, Ayaka decided to make him a gardening club member. Well Narumi's luck really ran out when she met the girl named "Alice".

Alice which is a self proclaimed NEET Detective that solves crimes from the comforts of her own room (completely packed with stuff toys and state of the art computer softwares/hardwares). Narumi easily became her Dokupe opener (it is a drink that Alice loves) and part time assistant, when things get out of hand. Together with a group of "Elite NEETS" like the Fourth (Yakuza head), The General (Weapon, Gears Specialist), The Gambler (Mellee combat specialist) and the Playboy (Women Specialist...duh).

The story has somewhat a serious~ funny~ and hmmm....whats the word..."unpredictable" atmosphere that makes you want to crave for more. Kamisama Memochou is something that is worthwhile to watch, when you are looking for something cute, something modern and something realistic all in one package.

And yeah~ if you're still worried about my "Not sleeping habits" then, thank you for your concern. I'm doing well despite that fact and I'm sure that i'll continue to be well.

The Rain is coming really hard this month and somehow, it feels like more will come before the Christmas season.

Don't forget to bring your umbrella if you think that it will rain and don't forget...
