I decide to be more positive and get out of this laziness hole. It is time to be more productive and give this blog something worth reading! With that said, there is no better story in my life except my trip to Japan. Another reason is because I also need to record that awesome experience somewhere else outside my head, so that in case I forget it like stupid hero(ine)s in TV drama get their amnesia because of some not-so-important things, the story will not be gone just like that.

This post is dedicated to the first day of our very quick trip, July 16th 2014. I went with two friends to Osaka, Kansai. We planned this trip since around a year ago. We bought the tickets on September 2013, I still had the copy on my laptop.

Now this is supposed to be my comeback post instead of the previous one, but whatever. Spreading the love for an amazing group like 4MEN is more important!

Anyway, yeah, I returned. For now. Not sure if I will disappear soon again, but let's just enjoy the time and company we have at the moment. Nothing too stressful.

As for updates with life, well, I have recently finished the eighth semester of my medicine major. Well, technically, I just had the last exam today, but the results are not out yet. I think I did just fine to be able to pass without problem... Can't help getting nervous, but I can only wait, so I may as well enjoy my time. And with the end of semester coming, it means holiday! The best part is going to come. Because...

I AM FINALLY GOING TO JAPAN!

My parents gave me the permission and support for this upcoming trip. It is like, totally awesome sauce! Japan has always been the country I want to visit after getting addicted to its otaku culture. Although we are not able to visit Tokyo due to high cost, I am still dead sure it is going to be an amazing, unforgetable trip. I am going there with two other friends, for ten days, starting July 15th.

Lately I try not to think about the future too much. I am so close to the end of the preparation and the start of, what, a very rocky road ahead. Last year, graduation preparation, various national tests to pass before that, life decisions, internship, work, possibly more study, and so on, and so on. Too much. I will try to digest things one by one as they come closer. That will work, right? I am worried if I am too laid back, but worrying too much will not help either, I believe. And I know I can do it! I have to! Yeah! Raise the hope high!

...Or I am just that ignorant. I probably am.

Now allow me to return to my gaming world of Persona 3 Portable. That shall be discussed in another post, someday!

I spent last weekend on a retreat: a religious activity to enjoy the silence and to review how we have lived so far in relation to God. It was a nice break once in a while, letting me go with a lighter heart and more power to get through the days. I bet I'll need it to face upcoming months, haha~

Anyway! New anime season has finally started. I welcome Spring's anime with open hands! From all titles I've checked out, Shingeki no Kyojin gave the strongest first impression. Followed by Aku no Hana, Suisei no Gargantia, Devil Survivor 2, RDG, and Karneval. Well, I'll still check the last names for a while before dropping them if I really have to. Anime lately are so short; only 12-13 episodes for most of these new titles.

Aside from anime craze, Seung Gi-oppa's new drama premiered today! I watched it through online live streaming. It was only an intro to the world, though I understood nothing because there was no subtitle, it looked like an interesting opening. Looking forward for this 20-episode drama! <3

And so, I need to go back and continue my notes. v_v

I always like it when rain poured down hard when I'm at home. Makes you feel alone but refreshed.

My Japanese is stalled. After finishing the first book a while ago, I haven't had the chance to continue the second book. Well, I think I did have, but I spent it to watch anime or drama and read manga. The rest was taken by assignments and sleeping. I really need to get some time out, especially if I want to be ready to go to Japan whenever there is a chance to! <3

And recently I'm back to the scanlation world. Guess I'm a bit bored so I joined one small group with relaxed deadline, and now attempting to revive my old, dead scanlation group as well. Things are moving very slowly but as long as there's some work going on behind, I'm happy. Let's see how far we can go to.

Other than that I'm waiting for results of previous exams and some kind of screening exam for a group competition. I have no high hope but we'll see, haha~

Now let's think about how to survive tomorrow's exam. \o/

Yes, behold my latest addiction!

Here is the history a bit. I was interested in Psycho-Pass' ED, titled "Namae no Nai Kaibutsu". A great up-beat song, and I liked the voice of the singer as well. I found out it was by "EGOIST". I definitely noticed the name from the memorable Guilty Crown there, and turned out it was actually "supercell" under another name.

I was invited at first with the musical arrangement. Very dynamic. With a rather calm opening, but it gets stronger in certain parts with emphasizes there. Although Koeda's voice is a bit annoying at those parts, that makes her special, and I'm starting to get used to that kind of voice. I checked the lyrics translation a while ago, and my, so beautiful. Hats off for ryo, the person behind the arrangement and music, the life of supercell. Well done.

Without further ado, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! <3
