Dear Blog: The TOP 5 Reason why I hate the rain

Dear Blog,

I don't have anything against the rain.. Actually I enjoyed the rain only if I'm indoors.. especially when I am at home... Well, I can say that some things in life has their positive and negative sides..

I like to share my experiences last Friday. July 13th... (Oh Sh@t! that's why it is very unfortunate). I am at school when suddenly the rain poured down.. The location of my school is in a "Always FLOOD ZONE" so there's the tendency for a larger percentage of flood.. (Yeah)..

Actually, it's my first time to experience the moment when you're stranded in the school and there's a strong urge inside of you to go home ASAP.. And that's why I did, I try to go home ASAP... So, after the last period of classes, the adventure begins!!!

First, we are in a group of 7 people... To make the story short, we struggled all the way in order to achieve the F'ning Nirvana called home... We would like to thank our parkour skills courtesy of Assassins's Creed Games... (haha.. It's very useful..)

Luckily for me... I got home safely... So going back in the Title.. what are my Top 5 reasons why I hate the rain... Here it is:

1. Rainy seasons are dangerous to students (especially college) because you know.. we will be drenched.. Sayang ang porma sa tagalog... If you are drenched in the rain, you're appearance will be ruined.. If you know what I mean.. It means that you're fashion for the day will be useless versus the wrath of nature..

2. Flood.. Like what I said.. Rains will bring the Flood.. and if there's a flood it will be a disaster.. The difficulty of going home will raise from 70% to 90%

3. Traffic Jam... To hell with this.. This is what I hate the most... Rain will bring the Flood.. If there's a flood, it's difficult to travel... And you know what will be the result if it is difficult to travel and you're in the middle of a ride... DAMN right? If you know what I mean..

4. The cars, buses, trains and all means of transportation are jampacked... It means it is always a hard time finding seats with you common mode of transportation... Worst case scenario, stand up mode... Here in the country, it is common for some people to have a standing ride when in the bus... But for 2 hours?!!!! Come on!!!

5. There's always a class... Well, Nevermind with it... The Bottomline, I hate it when there's still a class even when it rains...

Yeah.. that's some of my observations when it's rainy seasons.. But, we must thank rain for coming because it makes our sleep at night comfortable and chill just like when you're having a airconditioner at your home. right?

HAHAHA

That's all,

An Anime Blog: Mirai Nikki (Future Diary)

Dear Blog,

I just finished watching an anime entitled Mirai Nikki (Future Diary in English)

Yeah... Let me record some of my memories on this one..

Mirai Nikki (Future Diary), as the name suggest, it is about predicting the future, diaries, time traveling etc. But, there's more to it, of course it's an anime. It's about predicting the future/battle for your life plot..

Here is a little synopsis:

There's this guy named Yuki and he's a damn loner. Then he was given a strange diary in a phone that can predict the future. There's more to it because he was involved in a battle royale with another 11 diary holders. It means that, the 12 diary holders must kill each other and the last one standing will be the God of Space and Time.. (Easy to figure out?) The reward is a WOW but the way to achieve it so bloody.. Then there's this girl named Yuno who is an another diary user. But the funny thing about it is that she is a stalker of Yuki and not just only a "stalker", she is madly in love with Yuki.. So the main characters are Yuki and Yuno and they must defy all the odds in order to survive..

The 12 Diary holders


This anime has a dark nature in it because it contains brutal scenes, dark nature of characters, betrayals, blood.. etc. Overall, it's not a children of anime. It has the same nature with Deadman Wonderland (try that too)

For me here are some of the main positive points that I found in this anime:
1) A good story... I know that some people will find it difficult to watch an anime that involves killings, brutal scenes and unlikeable virtues but it's the main thing that makes this anime intersting.. You will be curious about the nature of other characters.. You will be curious about their back stories.. Your fear of blood will fade away and you will focus more on the story.. (By the way, the version I watched is a clean version. So, there are censorship)
2) Good Plot Twist... There are parts in the anime wherein you will say that "I didn't expect this S@@t!". For me, it makes the story more interesting to watch.. It's like a spice or seasoning in the food.. There this part wherein Yuki's character changed from Good to Bad.. Just watch it, in order to grasp me..
3) Yuno's character.. Yuno is a character with an unbalance personality... She's a stalker who is madly in love with Yuki and she will do anything and everything for the guy.. But, on the other side, when she saw Yuki interacted with other girls, she has a full resolve to kill that girl... It's more of a yandere attitude (if my term is correct)... She is a killing maniac.. I mean when you saw her actions, it's definitely crazy..

You can see the unbalance in the character in the left

4) Good concept of each diaries... Wow, when I watched this anime the concept about the diaries are amazing.. It's like its not bad what you use this future diary-based powers are not bad.. They're good.. It's more of a Thinking Man's superpowers...

Sorry if it's long... Just sharing my thoughts..

An Anime Blog: Persona 4 the Animation

Dear Blog,

I would like to take this opportunity to blog about an anime...

Last week I watched and finished a series entitled "PERSONA 4"

Are you familiar with that? Aside from the anime itself, it is a game that can be played in PS2... Well, I didn't actually played the game because I don't have a PS2.. I only played PERSONA 3 using PSP.. Well, let's go back to the main subject..

I just want to share some of my thoughts regarding this anime...

I enjoyed watching it.. I mean really.. I will not blog something about this one if it doesn't interests me.. Right? If you are familiar with the games, you can noticed the calendar system or the changing of dates within the anime.. It's exactly the same as what you can see in the games... I was like, WOW... They are the same.. Make sense huh?

Here are some of the things that i can say good about Persona 4.. (Anime)
1) Good story... I didn't get bored watching it from the pilot episode to finale... 
2) Good drawing... (Am I right?) I'm not a professional critique or blogger but there's an OTAKU sense inside of me that says the drawing and animation is great..
3) Good ending... I say that the series has a good conclusion since the protagonist didn;t die in the end.. Why did I say this? It's because Persona 3's protagonist died in the end of the story...
4) Ensemble cast... hmmm... I think it's because I knew some of the seiyu,,, Well, never mind..

In general, it's a good anime... Each episode tells something, except some episodes that serves as a breather or like a filler episode or something..

Try watching it... It's great..



PERSONA!!!
