These ‘holdiays’ or ‘breaks’ are supposed to be relaxing right? Well… I’m incredibly tired at the moment… I’d say it’s because I’ve been doing too many things/going out too much, but I’d imagine there are quite a few of you out there who have done a lot more than I have and probably still have a lot more energy than I do. First of all, Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2011 is just as awesome or even better than 2010 for you! I certainly hope so! Today also marks the first year gochisou-deshita.net has been online! Which, I’m rather proud of, and I look forward to continue blogging throughout 2011 and hopefully, even the next few years! A big thanks to everyone who has read and visited my blog throughout the year! Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to announce some rather surprising (to me) numbers! :: Blog Stats I originally planned on celebrating by creating some fun New Years image and a new, better looking layout, but unfortunately, I haven’t had much time to do so. Though, you should expect a change in layout within the coming days. =D Once again, Thanks for reading and I hope to see you all throughout 2011 and beyond! So, start of the Summer Holidays for me, and I’ve loaded myself with tasks and events already? :: Generally Other than that, my Christmas was pretty mediocre. (My family doesn’t really do Christmas =P) :: Technology To think it’s the end of the year already… School’s out for 6 weeks, which you’d imagine to be plenty of time to get side projects that are otherwise interrupted by school completed but… not really…
Anyway, so just a quick post about my “Operation Clean-up” for the end of 2010 in preparation for 2011. There are a few other clean-up operations I need to do, which include clearing-up my limited hard-drive space, and getting much of this website cleaned up… But that’ll be done later. =P
November was an unusually dry month… and by dry, I mean, lacking interesting content rather than unseasonal… In fact, we’ve actually had quite a bit of rain… But yeah, so this goanna water dragon payed a visit to our school earlier in November… Listening To – ♫ “Encoder” by Pendulum, and “Innocent Starter” by Nana Mizuki ♫ :: Generally :: Anime Related As some of you may know, the Nanoha Movie has just been released on DVD and Blu-ray. It reignited my mild-ish Nanoha obsession, to the point where I think things are getting a little out of hand… Although I’m restraining myself not to see it till early January so that I can watch it with my friends, I’m finding I need to get quick doses of Nanoha without having to re-watch the series. Now, I love Nanoha. And I love Fate. I also love Nanoha and Fate. In fact. The “Nanofate” ‘couple’… is my favourite Anime pairing… Which lead me to the wonderfully insightful Nanofate.us, a group dedicated to the pairing, and a fansite containing many translated doujins, as well as providing a large-ish dedicated image board, and fanfics. And recently, I became very attached to a fanfic by ‘Satashi‘ titled: “Saved by the Bell“. I love how it’s an alternative story-line. The young-adult years, in a world where they aren’t searching for Lost Logia, or “Mahou Shoujo” for that matter. Some things kind of shocked me at first, (mainly Precia) but it’s very cute and sweet. (Makes me all warm and fluffy inside. XD) I’m only up to chapter 12 right now, and I don’t like some of the decisions that Nanoha’s making, but it can’t be helped. (Then it wouldn’t be as interesting I guess) :aww: :: Technology/Gadget Related I’m still waiting for the Dell Venue Pro. After playing around with a Samsung Omnia 7, I definitely want the Venue Pro. It’s basically the same thing except the Venue Pro has a slider portrait QWERTY, which I don’t necessarily need, and if the Venue Pro doesn’t come out in December, the Omnia may be my option. In my search for a laptop, I believe I’ve narrowed it down to two: HP Envy 14, and Asus U43JC Bamboo… Not sure which one, am leaning towards the Asus for a number of reasons, but the Envy definitely still has a lot of pull for me. I find the PV for the Bamboo to be much nicer than the Envy’s… Anyway, that’s a quick-ish wrap for me… I need to get back to English…
It’s been an interesting and fun week with lots of arrivals and had some outings which have been rather interesting… I would have loved to have taken a lot more photos which were more meaningful and representative of the somewhat awesome week I/we have had.
Just a quick little post, wishing all of you a Happy Halloween! Be careful if you see some golden butterflies flying around! Good thing I have my protection from witches! ♪“Beatoriiche wa ‘i’run da yo!”♪ Kihihihihihihi~!
Unfortunately, there really hasn’t been anything eventful ever since the end of the Holidays. I have been loaded with a lot of maths homework, and it has been rather annoying. I feel incredibly envious of those who have just completed their HSC… Can’t wait for mine to be over! :: School Related The results of my other tests weren’t very good for my standards… Generally hovering around the course average for all my subjects, which is somewhat worrying if I want to get an ATAR of 96 to get into Architecture in Uni… Considering joining the Formal Committee after being nagged by the current members, (though particularly Shannon and Janice…) Am in talks with Leon about whether we want to join/plan to strike some form of deal. However, Leon and I have written ourselves down for the Yearbook Committee, which should be interesting… :: Anime Related Been watching “Bakuman” and “” as part of the Fall season of Anime. Both have been great so far and I’m loving all the references to ‘real anime and otakudom’ in “My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute”. I won’t be posting too much about them unless something incredibly notable comes up. Though my good friend Leon is keeping up with them and regularly posting his thoughts of some of the other anime that’s being shown this season on his blog. :: Technology/Gadget Related My Shure SE420 Earphones (that I got in exchange for a continually breaking pair of Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Extended Bass Earphones) have been sent in to get a frequency response check after the lack of bass in them finally led me to ask if there was a possible fault with my earphones… Will see how that goes.   |
