Quick Update - Random info

Just thought I'd share it with the world for no particular reasons

1. Gonna head to Eaton Centre soon... if I ever get out of bed. I need to go pick up the edgeworth game which was released today. I wonder if EB games got the games yet...

2. I've also given up waiting for McDonalds to call me, so I'm going to try applying at other places (like Starbucks) because I REALLY need the money. FAIL

3. It's reading week this week, so I have no school, but it seems like I'm busier than usual. Why does these things always happen to me!!!

4. I am just rambling. Really. There's not much point to this blog at all. 'Tis why it's called 'Quick Update'.

5. If you're still reading then wow, you have pretty good patient. I won't test your patient any longer though. Ending this now (unless I think of something more)

6. Yes, I just thought of something else. Anyone know where this song comes from? ため息(Tameiki) by 柴田淳(Jun Shibata). I found it in my iTunes recently; not a bad song... I just don't know where it came from. Is it the OP or ED of some movie/anime/game?? If you know, please tell me =]!!

Quick Update - The Gummi Bears that you can't eat

Recently I found the Gummi Bear theme song. At first I didn't know what it's for until I showed it for Kristie. She said that it's the opening for the show Gummi Bear(really really oldschool)

So I'd just like to share the theme song with you all ---> Here

If you want the full good quality version of the song visit here

Quick Update - NEW POKEMON?!?!

So as a daily routine, when I wake up in the morning, I ALWAYS check serebii.net for my daily Pokemon news.

Today, they said the official Pokemon site announced a new Pokemon RPG to be released this year(2010). It might be the fifth generation of pokemon, or it might not. Either way, I'm really excited for it =]. Loves RPG games!!!

Quick Upate - Person with too much time on his/her hands

So I was surfing youtube... and I found a video about Pokemon Puzzle League, one of my first N64 games. I loved this game so much, but apparently not as much as this guy...

First of all, if you have NO idea what the game is, google it. Or just click the link above... OR you can just youtube search some game play. It's not a hard game to understand.

If you know how to play this game, then just watch the video here, and you'll see how crazy this is.

Quick Update - Third encounter with a mouse.

Woah, three encounters with mice in just a week... This residence is getting worse and worse.

It happened around 10 minutes ago, a saw a flash of shadow(oxymoron?!) going towards behind my desk -- bad move from the mouse. I can now see exactly where it is going, so I watched it very carefully hoping that the mouse will run back to its hole... so that I know where the hole is(if any).

So like last time, when the mouse noticed that I'm watching it, it ran towards the direction of my door/closet. First it ran towards the closet, and I thought... oh crap there really is a mouse living in my closet, but 5 seconds after that... I saw it came out of the closet and ran out the door.

I can now safely say that the mouse hole is not in my room!! because if it were in my room/closet, the mouse wouldn't have came out. =]

Quick Update - Some game info.

There are three games I want to quickly talk about.

1. Edgeworth Game -- totally forgot the real name, but the NA release is February 16, 2010. CAPCOM is hosting a contest. I just thought if anyone is interested, they can join the contest.

2. Pokemon HeartGold & SoulSilver is coming out on March 13, 2010 -- the NA release. The JP release was a long time ago... If you pre-order a copy of either HeartGold or SoulSilver, you will get either a Ho-oh or Lugia figurine depending on which version you pre-ordered(at EB Games/GameStop). You can get both of course!

3. Nintendo said they have been working on the newest Zelda game for 5 years, and some of the game's information has been leaked. They're trying a lot of new things for the game; I hope it's a good change.

Quick Update - Rats...!?!??!?!!??!?!??!

Um... yea, this morning... right before I was about to head to class... I saw a live rat/mouse. I tried catching it, but it ran away. I think it's in my closet, so I'll go find it when I get back.

Wish me luck??

Quick Update - 花札(Hanafuda)

Ever since watching 'Summer Wars' during winter break, I always wanted to play the card game Hanafuda. In the movie 'Summer Wars', Hanafuda is the card game which Sakae, the awesome grandma, teaches/trains all her children/grandchildren. It then played a big part in the storyline. Both Cindy and Atsushi don't know how to play the game, so I don't really know who else to as. Looking at the wiki page is too confusing... If you know how to play Hanafuda, teach me!

During the great Hanafuda battle, this soundtrack called '一億五千万奇跡'(150 Million Miracles) was played, ad I find it so effective. I get the goosebumps every time I hear this track. I can't find the link to an online player, nor can I upload it, so if you want to listen to it, I'll send it to you.

Go watch 'Summer Wars!!!' ----> here's the trailers ... sorry I can't find ones with english subs.

EDIT: I found a flash game for it. Here's the link

Quick Update - Video & Music of the day.

I youtube(yes, it's totally a verb) every day, so I thought I'd post a video that I think is really awesome/artistic/meaningful every day! Since I'm doing a video of the day, I might as well do a 'music of the day', too.

Starting today.

Today's video of the day is from a Youtube Channel 'WongFuProductions'.

Today's music of the day is from an artist Sam Harts, who sang the 'Mario Kart Love Song'.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. =]

Quick Update - SLOG

For one of my course (CSC165), I am required to keep a SLOG. According to my professor, Danny, it stands for Course Log(CLOG! Joking). It's basically a blog about anything that has to do with the course. It's 8% of my grade.

Either way, it doesn't affect any of you, but here's the SLOG if you want to check it out.

Quick Update - Surprises?!

*feels bad*

Atsushi can't go to the dinner gathering today because he has a fever this morning. I kind of feel guilty because he wanted to go Friday(yesterday) instead of tonight, but I refused. He would've gotten his steak if it we went yesterday.... He doesn't get any steak in the end, and he was so excited for it, too... *sad face*

I guess I'll do something to cheer him up later.

Hope he'll be good by tomorrow!!

Quick Update - Bloody shower. (A not-so-kathleen-friendly update)

Not many people know, but I take my showers every day in the morning when I wake up. So today, doing the same thing as always, I hopped into the showering stall in my residence. If you don't know what the washroom looks like in my dorm, check out my video (link below).

As I was showering(details included in deluxe version?! What?!), I started to taste blood in my mouth. Yea, nosebleed during showers. My favourite kind of nosebleed. I didn't have any paper towel, tissue, not even tampons to stuff my nose with, and I couldn't get out of my stall because it's a public washroom. In the end, I had to shower with blood dripping out of my nose; it's not a pretty sight(excluding my body). The water were all dyed red thanks to my nosebleed.

So this is what they called a Bloodbath...

Tour of my washroom?:
