Game rants :D

I finally understand a bit of how my prof feels when another group beats him to and publishes a paper that he too, has been working on.

Only in my case it's referring to cosplay. A few days ago I was looking at photos of Kamigami no Asobi on facebook and telling myself that I should take on this series. Today I realised that the costumes and props my NTU friend has been preparing for STGCC this weekend was for her Kamigami no asobi group T__________T just feeling like I've not been invited to a party LOL no lah, I'm not close to them and am always too shy to join in when they talk about seiyuu so they probably don't know I'm a fellow fan.

At least I have my Diabolik Lovers which I'm so happy with :') it may not be a very good cosplay but every thing feels really different when you're doing a series you fangirl over and love. I can imagine how delighted I'll be when I finally get to cosplay Aoba. Speaking of which........... my Aoba's not going to come to life unless I do something about it. All I have is the wig right now -pats back- I promise I'll get him out next year.

Also playing DRAMAtical Murder: Reconnect which is the fandisc after the initial game... I find it hard to finish the routes.. The H scenes are too much for me to handle X_X I mean I loved the game and the characters but urgh it was tough clicking through the H parts. Just give me my happy ending and a little bit more story and I'll be satisfied. I've finished Clear and moved onto Mink because curiosity got better of me. Will definitely finish everything lah, because of the voice actors as well :)) The mini game is really cute though!! XD Lovely game on the whole   

My wallpaper has changed from Noiz to the Ken ga Kimi guys. Each guy has his own wallpaper but I chose the group one. They look so lovely:

Even my mum thought it looks pretty and agreed to change her laptop wallpaper to that sweet guy on the extreme left. Wow she actually picked one of them XD 

More on my PSP, previously mentioned that I finished Hakuouki. Started on Last Escort while I was almost done with Hakuouki and seriouslyyyyyy Last Escort is impossible to complete without consulting a walkthrough. I thought I was going well with Rei (voiced by youkyan and so I went after him first) but one day in game I received a call from him saying that he had quit his job at the club and will be going overseas. Game over O_o motivation hit a new low and even when I followed the walkthrough I had to replay a few more times before I finally got his good end. 

I picked my next host using a number generator and got the Shota.. With the help of the walkthrough I managed to get all his CGs except for one but that's enough thankyou hahaha.

Then I went after Hiragi aka the sexy voice club manager who's also a host and a huge pervert LOL it was a very entertaining route and suwabe's voice ^/////^ Left with 3.5 more characters but decided to take a break lol it's really tiring

DC girls Symphony was another game I got my hands on and in contrast it's a breeze to get through I'm relieved :)) Went after Kujou sensei because he's voiced by Hirarin. Too bad he's the brother (though not related by blood) so that felt strange. Unspectacular route anyways and the ending was mehhhh. Next up was the gentle twin Kohei and I enjoyed the front part of his route very much, it's the sweet school romance I would have liked to experience myself LOL but the later half was ridiculous O_o The rest of the routes were nothing special. I'm just starting Ryohei's route, since he's the main guy I'm raising my expectations -skeptical look- Saving the strange cat boy route for last haha heard that it's going to be a tear jerker -skeptical look again-

I also managed to get HxH Wonder Adventures to work on my PSP and OMG it's so hard T____T I really tried but i'm stuck at the first stage of the hunter exam with the half beast mystical people. It took me a couple of hours of on off playing to find the swamp master thingy and defeat it to get out of whale island. This is really not easy. Will save this game for when I have lots of time and brain juice to spare lol!

End of wordy post. Journal club presentation this friday and I'm excited + nervous! My mutations are working better now :))b will start on cell work soon

I'm fuming mad right now.

Mum just deleted my whole folder of game bookmarks, accumulated from 2 years ago. 2 whole years of game links, walkthroughs, interesting game sites.

She's just taking my old laptop to use once in a while so it doesn't go rusty and because it's old of course it'll be slow. Of all things to clear to free up the memory, she chooses to meddle with my bookmarks on google chrome. It's signed in to my gmail account and that saved me lots of trouble in transferring my whole chunk of bookmarks to my new computer.

Fucking deleted my entire 'games and walkthroughs' folder as well as my 'cosplay' folder where I keep links of sales items and reference photos of my past and future characters. Only realised the error when I saw on my current laptop browser the updated bookmarks bar with her stupid google finance link. Nice arh, delete my stuff, claiming it's slowing down the comp, and add your own.

That's not the main reason why I'm angry though. I gave her the permission to delete even though I complained a lot about why she wanted to delete, of all things, my internet bookmarks -___- so in a way I can't blame her. What made me so furious and ready to burst into tears on top of my agitation was that she insisted that I was in the wrong and should have created a separate account for my new laptop.

like what the heck. I access your already logged in email account on your old computer and delete all your emails because they take up soooooooo much space. When you access your email in your new computer and see all the mails gone, will you punch yourself and lament that you should have created another email account, one for every computer you use?? She keeps insisting that I should have kept a set of bookmarks on my current laptop GOD DAMMIT too angry to argue. Should have logged out of everything when I moved on to my current laptop but darn it I wasn't expecting her to delete things. She already has her own laptop where she can personalize all she wants for all I care. Don't meddle with my old stuff!!!

I did a search to see if I could retrieve the links. The solution said to keep the browser open and not to open a new one if it was already closed. Too bad, she had closed it and I had opened it again to show her my point about my gmail being linked to the chrome browser. Goodbye my links, goodbye forever.

URGH.............................. at least she didn't start her meaningless clean up with my mp3s or game files or photos. Still, I feel like punching something so badly

Operation no contact lens

Many many people have been telling me in person that I look stressed/ tired/ have eyebags. Most of them then ask me to take better care of myself and sleep more :) I truly appreciate the concern -touched- There was just this one guy who told me rather rudely that I look as if I haven't slept for days and later took my laptop claiming that I looked like I was going to pass out. I'm like.... _l_ no thanks I didn't ask you to take my laptop bag i'm sorry my normal face looks so dead and snatched it back. Rude TTM sia :(

That aside, to these comments mostly I just play along and blame it all on FYP.

The truth is, I've been sleeping much earlier ever since I joined the lab and corrected my sleeping hours to a very healthy pattern. Sure FYP is stressful and I don't get my afternoon naps no more but I have been sleep early and I don't know why my eyes look so terrible okay :( I can't help it that I have to wake early, sleeping earlier should solve the waking early problem right??

Then I thought about it long and hard... cos the number of similar comments are really alarming and scaring me T__T it occurred to me that I've been wearing my contact lenses for more than 12 hours a day for almost every single day after starting lab in mid June. Since weekdays are all taken up by lab, my weekends are packed with activities and I have to wear contacts as well -_- so frustrating.

My eyes are very tolerant towards contact lens and I feel no discomfort wearing my normal lenses so I always keep them on the entire day even after returning home T___T I mean after years of wearing contacts without any issues I kinda ignore all the safety stuff like not wearing for more than a certain hours and so on. 

Getting to the point.. I'm going on a 'no contacts, spectacles only' phase for a least a month, started yesterday. I will have to bear with my over dramatic thick framed specs, having my specs slip down my nose, having them fogged up when I feel hot, unsightly red marks on my nose bridge, messy hair when I put on or remove them and many more problems which I'm sure to discover soon. Will also try to take some eye supplements.. 

Wordy post ahahaha ps for the lack of photos recently.. I'll just end off with a collection of my various coses since last year February!

Subaru taken by Lynweh cos, Bisca by Naruto4836 Fotoworks, Kyubei by Kyou, Felicita by Kyou, Bubbles selfie, Luka by Yz, Kagura by Kyou, Shizuo by Kyou, Aoba costest selfie (lol it doesn't belong here but mehh)

2 more coming up this year jiayou jiayou!! I've a few more plans and added them to the cosplans at the right side of the blog :)b

Thoughts on Hakuouki Demon of the Fleeting Blossom

Hunter X Hunter episodes make me feel so depressed nowadays. I'm still looking forward to a new episode every Sunday but I always clench my fists while watching because urghhh it's too upsetting X__X 

For this season I'm also watching Free!, Gin no saji, Watamote-- short for watashi ga motenai no dou kangaete mo omaera ga warui. That was a total mouthful hahaha! That's about it! Nope i'm not watching shingeki no kyojin because I've read the manga and totally lost interest in the anime as a result. Of course Uchuu kyoudai is still on my list, I watch a new episode every saturday without fail :)

Let me gush a little about Free! It's fan service for the ladies but seriously the guys are too adorable. Fan service done right :') I appreciate it very muchy.  

I've finished Hakuouki demon of the fleeting blossom on the PSP and :))))))bbb it's a good first game. A little heavy on the history and content side and less romance than I expected but oh man I had so much feels after finishing each route. Favourite guy goes to Harada because he was the most romantic but Hijikata and Okita both made me so emotional during and at the end of their routes ;__; 

Trying not to spoil too much but I had a serious case of goosebumps when the name Hakuouki was spoken in the game-- this happened in Hijikata's route. Darn it Hijikata, you made me so worried throughout 

your route. He's such a gruff person which made the scenes where he smiles and appreciates Chiziru all the more precious. KUDOS TO MIKI SHIN for putting in so much effort into voicing Hijikata LOL so gruff and growly, I tried to speak that way and ran out of breath just after 2 words lol??! Bittersweet ending. I mean they're together and all but description never fails to remind that death is approaching and may come suddenly so there's no way I can be 100% shiawase

Okita's route was the only one which made me cry, during the happy end. The tears just flowed out so naturally OwO I was surprised when I felt them on my cheeks. Welll.... great job because I wasn't super taken with Okita, pretty neutral throughout his route and I was paying more attention to Morikubo's voice and admiring how musical he sounded. Again, the end hinted strongly of the uncertain future and how they would treasure every moment of it and express their love for each other clearly. I thought Okita died when he only fell asleep T____T that was the exact intention of the game writers I tell you urgh don't play with my heart please...

Saitou was the first guy I went after and I felt that he was too indifferent and in his own world.. Quite unwilling to admit his love for Chizuru too and that kinda turned me off XD  

Harada was my second guy and well.. you know how I feel towards him XD majority of the romance in the entire game was put into his route and he was the only one who has a happy end with no looming consequences. Ohh he's also the only guy in the game who got to bed Chizuru. Nothing explicit but yeaaa it was very clearly implied XD This is the route to go for if you're aiming for more romance and a normal life in the game lol

Heisuke was normal... His voice kinda hurt my ears so I never really got into his story. Pity because I like his character design.

Kazama, who's also hanging off the side of my psp as an accessory, was so-so as well. His route was too short to be compared to the rest so yea. What I found really funny about the bad guys was that they have this routine of leaving at the slightest disturbance in the middle of the fight with your Shinsengumi guy, or claim that their mission here is done so they'll leave for today, leaving the Shinsengumi guy fuming and swearing to become stronger to defeat them in the future hahaha it became predictable after the first route. Main takeaway-- Kazama = sexy TsudaKen voice XD

So overall-- Hijikata, Harada, Okita, Saitou=Heisuke. The bgm at the start screen and the bgm for some of the happy ends (aka the major key version of the prev song) were my favourite. Rest of the music had some really strange instrumentation but still acceptable tune wise.

School starts tomorrow T_____________________________T bye bye life

Last week felt like forever, things have happened and I'm just so tired of anything that isn't anime or otome ok scratch that yep because I'm an otaku not.

I just want a break from all the girl talk lol it's making me feel like I'll never find anyone. Urghhhh

Cosplay props and costume progress aside, I just want to get my proteins mutated and start on the experiments. That's it for this week :) looking forward to seeing yz's doggie too
