Let's Talk About School

Ah, the frustration!

Earlier at our PA 151 is an ambush graded recitation. Yep, I thought Prof Ocenar was kidding or it was just spur of the moment since he was surprisingly mad at late people. I thought he just scared us, but no! It was sudden I wasn't even done with the reading for that day's class. The worst thing is, I WAS CALLED FOR THAT READING AND NOT FOR THE PREVIOUS ONE!

Obviously, I wasn't that prepared.

I guess he realized that by himself since he made me stop explaining. The annoying thing about the reading: I DID NOT REALIZE THERE WAS A SHORT SUMMARY AT THE VERY LAST PART OF THE SO MANY PARAGRAPHS!!

Lesson learned:

1. Get readings on time. Help yourself with advanced reading.

2. Make sure you scan the whole item if you want to answer recitations unprepared. There might be a BLOODY SUMMARY waiting for you.



~ Yay!

What the Hell Goes on Tsubasa: RESERvoir CHroNicLe?

I can't really say that I'm slow at some things, but this really made my mind boggle.

[Spoiler ALERT! Read at your own risk!]

I've watched the anime Tsubasa RC season 1 and skipped season 2 and watched the movie and the OVA, Tokyo Revelations.

The next thing I knew, I was so confused and intrigued that I decided I should continue downloading the manga from where the anime's OVA left off.

And so I searched for it at my two reliable forums and voila, I was hooked until the latest chapter that's scanlated. Chapter 205.

The confusion began when the two Syaorans appeared before me. Sure, they are both cute, but the clone (the first protagonist and the one who ardently searches for the feathers and the one who traded to Yuko Ichihara his relationship with the princess) became a power stealer (from Fai) and then the "Syaoran" original appeared. I didn't get much of the dialogues. I failed to analyze quickly what happened.

The next confusion came when the Sakura (the one who lost her memories and the love interest of Syaoran the clone) told original "Syaoran" that SHE IS NOT HIS SAKURA AND HIS SAKURA IS WAITING FOR HER (somewhere). What was that?! Yes, that Sakura is another CLONE!!

Should this anime be titled: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle: Attack of the Clones?

Grrr.

Anyway, the story with the confusion hooked me even more! Now I'm dying to know how this series and manga ends!!

Let's now proceed on what really happened. I love explaining this because everyone I told this story really was more confused that I am. :P

Here it goes. Here is how I understand it. If anything's wrong, please feel free to comment.

Note that Fai's story is another confusing one, but I understood it more quickly. Fai is not Fai. It was his twin's name (dead twin) and his real name is Yuui.

[SPOILER WARNING AGAIN!!]

So from the Tokyo Revelation happening, Fai is a vampire, Kurogane is his "game" (or prey if you want to). They entered a world wherein you play chess with real people as chess pieces, fighting a battle. "Syaoran" the original, Kurogane and Fai played for Sakura the clone (not yet revealed as a clone). Then there's this weird, I can't understand, conversation between Fai (Yuui) and Sakura (clone). The real thing is that Sakura (clone) wants to win the chess game in order to travel different worlds alone and find Syaoran (clone). And also, she had this premonition of Syaoran and Kurogane (was it?) dying in the last battle of the chess game upon being killed by Fai (Yuui). She tries to prevent it by trading to Yuko her right leg and her status as "favorite daughter of the gods" (her super luck). So when the time came for that, Chii (Fai [Yuui]'s creation from Celece) came and took Sakura's body away. The soul was transported to the Dream world. (I think Chii is also a transporting thingy like Mokona white) Fai (Yuui) stabbed Sakura (clone), just in time when her soul and body split (I think she wasn't hurt badly? Was she?). And the next thing was the trio of Kuro, "Syaoran" and Fai (Yuui) came to Celes, Fai's world that he avoids.

Fai (Yuui)'s story: He avoids Celes because he doesn't want to kill King Ashura, the one who raised him. He's actually a prince of another kingdom before he arrived at Celes (Ashura's kingdom). He's with a twin, and they were considered unlucky and at fault for the bad stuff in their kingdom. So they (Fai and Yuui) were set to die. Here is where Fei Wong Reed, the ultimate villain, came and planned things according to his plan. He made Yuui (the "Fai" now) escape, but he has to kill his twin Fai. So when he escaped, he was set a curse by Fei Wong, that whatever world he's in will close (is that it?). When he was set free and Fai died, Yuui wanted to revive him (that was Fei Wong's promise). He was then found by Ashura who gave him a new life but asked him to grant his wish: that he must kill anyone who does harm to Celes. The other curse on the new Fai was activated, that he must kill anyone who is more powerful than him. It was then revealed that Ashura is a killing monster and he killed everyone in Celes. Fai can't kill him, so he put him under a spell of almost eternal sleep. He then avoided Celece and time-traveled with Syaoran. It was also revealed that he had acquired 2 feathers, one which he placed at his twin Fai in order for his body not to rot, and the other was the one he "took notice" that was allegedly stuck at Syaoran (clone)'s clothes during their travel.

Anyway, they returned to Celes and Sakura (clone)'s body was there. Then the trio killed Ashura together. The second curse was activated. They cannot escape Celece. Then was it Tomoyo or Watanuki who traded something to Yuko in order for them to arrive at Nihon country? It was Tomoyo. So they rested there until Seishiro arrived. "Syaoran" the original fought for the feather and got it. Then suddenly, he was just transported to Dream world where the Sakura (clone)'s soul is. Then Syaoran (clone) arrived and they fought for the feather. Sakura clone's soul was killed by Syaoran clone. And then it was revealed before she died that she's not the Sakura original. And then Fei Wong's partner in crime Kyle (the doctor at the other world) came and took the Sakura clone's body (I wonder how it came about). Syaoran clone unbelievably disappeared again, and then Syaoran original came back to Nihon country.

Then the trio ventured to the next world, and they intended to go and find the two Sakuras. Then they went back to where it all began: Clow Country. Now here's what actually happened. Syaoran the original met Sakura the original seven days before her seventh birthday. He was sent by his father, Li Syaoran (of CCS) because someone is waiting for him. It was also revealed that his name is not Syaoran at all! It's his dad's name (up to now, I don't know his name so let's stil call him Syaoran the original). His mother, Sakura (of CCS) dreamed of something and then she traded to Yuko her star staff in order for Syaoran the original to travel. Then he landed at Clow Country's purification grounds and met Sakura the original. They become friends. And then Fei Wong's plan began. Then Sakura the original was cursed. Syaoran the original returns to Yuko's shop right after what happened to Sakura the original (he can only stay there for 7 days) and then it's up to him to decide what happens. Then he wanted to go back to Clow Country and prevent Sakura from dying. So Yuko had him transported back and the price to pay is that he's never going to meet his family ever again. And Watanuki was born to replace him. When he returned, Nadeshiko, Sakura the original's mom can't do anything but stop the time for Sakura's 14th birthday. Then Fei Wong appeared to Syaoran and offered him a deal. But he was the evil one so what he did was capture Syaoran the original and clone him. It was not stated when the Sakura the original was cloned. And therefore, the clone was sent back to time and every history changed. Syaoran clone was sent to Clow Country and adopted by Fujitaka.... and you know the rest. That's what happened. So at the past time where the trio were, which is the day before Sakura's 7th birthday, Syaoran the clone arrived. And I wonder what happens next...........................

VERY CONFUSING. I can't state the story in a readable, understandable, manner.

Yet Another Song of the Month for November

Am I Running Out of Good Luck? >_

Nooo!

Right. I was thinking about this, and it kinda freaked me out. Well, a little.

It's been such a lucky, happy, splendid month for me. Several things occurred and those things were pretty much unexpected (and many to mention). But I would like to emphasized on the rebirthing and/or resurrection of my most precious beings in life: my beloved laptop and don't forget, my desktop PC of 5 years.

Having them working again and living (in my belief, they are alive) means a lot to me. They have been the reason I'm still motivated with my life, and without them my life is a little less brillant. They keep me attached to my passion, anime, and they are the only beings which can make me feel emotions.

That is why I feel that I am the luckiest person alive.

I fear that because all of the good things I know happened subsequently to me, my luck will run out anytime now. The only thing I had in my wishlist now is the TV tuner. If I don't get it by the end of the year 2008, it will be appearing in my 2009 Wishlist. It will be terrible.

Let's set aside that topic for a while. Today, I analyzed that I should have another set of wishlist for movies, series, and downloadables I want to have. I'm starting again with my lost Mp3 collection deleted from Hazel-PC (luckily, the series I just finished downloading was recovered, thanks to Mr. Ian of Acer ^^). On top of that, I want to organize everything so it won't be troublesome for me (my new activities involve lending my collection to a couple of college friends).

I really want to accomplish a lot of things before 2008 ends. I hope everything meets my needs.

I'm Too Happy, I Cannot Believe It...!

Most of my net friends have been continuously pinging me on YM. Almost all of them wondered where I have been. Why? Simply because I wasn't the always-online-person they knew. I've been missing for about 2 weeks now. Yes, it seems to be a mysterious disappearance to nowhere and I owe a lot of people some sort of explanation.

As my closest friends all know, I love staying late for PCs and chatting with them. So when I was lost and missing in the cyberspace, it was a mystery.

Not really. :) I could occassionally PM them using my mobile phone, or when I go to school and login from there. And so they kept saying "Nabuhay ka!" or something like that. I could only laugh. I miss you guys.

I was missing and lost because I ruined my prized possession, my laptop. My desktop isn't fixed as well... sad to say, it will take a long time before I get it fixed. I don't have funds fot that yet. :P

Anyway, going to the title of this text, it's quite not connected. The title must be: I am mourning, right? But since I saw this person, ano hito... this kare... member of 3M, whatever you, me or my closest buddies address him, I became ecstatic! I never thought that I'd see him again after almost a year in this wide UP Diliman campus ACCIDENTALLY! Guuzen ja nai! Hahaha...

I'm so glad I walked along that place that morning...

Ureshii!!

Japanese Song of the Month (November)

Kono Namida ga Aru Kara Tsugi no Ippo to Naru
Because There Are These Tears, They Will Become My Next Step

Original / Romaji Lyrics	English Translation
Sore ga hetakuso de Nanka kuyashii kedo Mada akiramenai ne	That's my clumsiness Its something vexing, but I can't give up yet, right?
Bonyari toshiteru yume mo sono uchi ni Kiri ga hareta you ni shite miseru	But as for the absent-mindedness within these dreams It will clear away like a lifting fog
Kono ippo susumu made Tsugi no ippo made Jikkuri yuku kara Mae ni susumu kara Jibun no peesu de	Until I take this step forward Until I take another step after I'll continue carefully Moving forward At my own pace
Chiisa na heya demo Yabou ga tsumatteru Ichiichi iwanai ga...	It was a small room, but it was full of ambition One by one, unsaid was...
Sorezore no jidai sorezore no jinsei Dakedo tsunagatteru ningenmoyou	Each area, each life But then, that's what tied everyone together
Kono namida ga aru kara Tsugi no ippo to naru Hakkiri wakaru yo Mae ni susunderutte "Kagayaki" no moto e	Because there are these tears They will become my next step I understand it perfectly I am going forward To the origin of "radiance"
Kono namida ga aru kara Tsugi no ippo to naru Hakkiri wakaru yo Mae ni susunderutte "Kagayaki" no moto e	Because there are these tears They will become my next step I understand it perfectly I am going forward To the origin of "radiance"
