Pseudoblack friday

Only in sleep and death may you find peace

Blemished: (partial) chap 2

Footsteps. Everywhere. Echoing off the ground, bouncing off the seemingly confined yet boundless space.

Voices. Murmuring. Whispering of the evils, of the good, of the devils, of the deeds people do for the sake of greater evil, or greater good. Whispering of the rise of the next Urquil.

"Where am I?" Cerulean eyes open to see the sea of crimson in front of her. Esma Schresweski was confused. One minute, she was comfortably snuggled in her bed; the next minute, she found herself in a totally foreign place, a world with nothing but redness.

Panic strikes almost immediately, like an iron claw ripping through her heart.

Blemished: Chapter 1

" Esma....ESMA!!"
"Oh, there you go again, wondering around on your own in the Mistic Forest. Don't you know the Dark Renaissance loves children like you?" Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Geondore sighed, putting a hand on the cute little girl who was in front him.

"But gramps, the forest is such a beauty, and something is calling out to me out there today. cant you be more lenient to me? it's killing me to just stay inside the logdge with a bunch of oldies. Geesh."

The  girl with shining cerulean eyes pout, hoping to get her wish granted .
But her wish was obviously not heard, as the lean, slander man in front of her suddenly grabbed her shoulder with such force that it pained her. '

"Something called out to you today? From the Deeper Forest?"
There was some seriousness in his tone. Astounded, Esma
 looked up and saw...panic? fear? or some kind of unknown emotion swirling in the eyes of the man who's been her guardian for 12 years. Her Geondore had never spoken with her in such a serious and distressed manner before, and it was scaring the hell out of her.

"Yes, it  feels familiar, and friendly, and it calls out to me to get to the depths of the Shrivelling Cliffs. Gramps, is something bad going to happen to me? But it doesn't feel like the thing summoning me means me any harm."

Is it inevitable? Is it finally going to happen? Is it time, for this pure, innocent girl I know to begin her own path of destiny?' Silently, he thought to himself.

Only silence answered her question. An owl hooted in the far end of the mountain, awakening Geondore from his thinking trance. Looking deep into the eyes of the bubbly girl he had watched over so long, and he said in a solemn voice,

"Esma, listen to me. You must never enter the Deeper Forest, ever. Forget about the calling. There is great evils residing at the Shrivelling Cliffs and greater evil roams the depths of this forest. It will  not do you any good going there, do you understand me?"

"Yes, gramps, I do. I give you my word that i would not go into the Deeper Forest. Promise."

Relieved, the tall man noded.
"let's get you back, shall we?"

Carrying the girl piggie-back style, he headed back to their lodge.

 The setting sun silhouetted his back, drawing a long shadow on the forest floor. with his footsteps echoing away, it seemed like his age finally caught up with him. the man suddenly looked old and withered, and the wind seemed to catch a soft sigh from the distance.

"It had just begun..."
A voice from the depths of the forest whispered.

鱼与水（抄来的）

如果我是鱼，而你是水，我可以游入你的心里吗? 

每个城市都会下雨，就像我走到哪里都会想你，思念是一种果实，酸中带甜，盛开在夜里，而我带着不确定的心情想你想你……

your questioning eyes are sad. by Tagore

Your questioning eyes are sad.
they seek to know my meaning as the moon would fathom the sea.
I have bared my life before your eyes from end to end, with nothing hidden or held back. That is why you know me not.
If it were only a gem, I could break it into hundred pieces and string them into a chain to put on your neck.
If it were only a flower, round and small and sweet, I could pluck it from its stem to set it in your hair.
But it is a heart, my beloved. Where are its shores and its bottoms?
You know not the limits of this kingdom, still you are its queen.
If it were only a moment of pleasure, it would flower in an easy smile, and you could see it and read it in a moment.
If it were merely a pain, it would melt in limpid tears, reflecting its innermost secret without a word.
But it is love, my beloved.
Its pleasure and pain are boundless, and endless its wants and wealth.
It is as near to you as your life, but you can never wholly know it.

Ao no Exorcist I

Ao no Exorcist. also nicknamed, the exorcist in blue, is actually an interesting story about devils,exorcist and life as exorcist trainee.

You see, the irony thing is, Okumura Rin, one who aspires to be a great exorcist, is actually the son of Satan himself. Yet he is not the evil persona a devil should be.

Quite on the contrary, Rin is naive and loyal to his friends. He also loves his 'father', the pastor very much, thought he has quite a weird way of showing love.

In the first episode, we are introduced to the cocky yet hilarious father of Rin, and his spectacled brother who is always reading the book. It has a playful atmosphere and a feeling of there's more to things than meets the eyes. i guess that's what propels me to keep watching

Rating: 8/10

Stay tuned ;D

Code Geass R2-the reason I've started watching anime

“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts…” - Shakespeare


THIS is the main reason I started watching anime xD
C-O-D-E.......GEASS!!!
the anime of year 2008!


Let's talk about ep 1.
Undeniably, code geass R2 has nice animation,compared to others of its kind.
the screen is clear,the complexion colouring very suitable,and nice style of drawing(don't mind the super thin Clamp limbs ;P)
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you,
Code Geass R2: Lelouch of the Rebellion!!
note: Lelouch's a French name

恶魔觉醒之日

one year had passed since the Black Rebellion

The Britannia flag

Our main character =DD

Viletta Nu,undercover spy posing as teacher

Lelouch's playing truant,running away from PE class again,

but his poor stamina is against him xP

Shirley(Lelouch's would-be-girlfriend?) and classmates

 Miley,the student council president

eating Miley's bread,heading towards the casino

Rolo,Lelouch's fake brother. He proves to be a force to be reckon later on.

knightmare frame, Vincent

Stuck-up Britannian commander

The oppressed elevens, formerly known as Japanese

the captured Black Knights, Tohdoh the miraculous

Rolo and Lelouch in the elevator, pondering 

Britannians

Tohdoh, ever so calm even though he's waiting his doom

Checkmate!!!way to go Lelouch~

Oh? New character? 

Li proves to be a strategist on par with Lelouch, plus

posessing an extraordinary swordsmanship.

Interesting and loyal character, I would say

Kallen,pilot of the knightmare frame Guren Nishikki

ugh,fanservice @@

Guren Nishikki

Just a bit more....and Rolo lost Lelouch to the darkness below

C.C. the immortal witch

shot from behind by Britannian soldiers, such dirty tactics

shocked and desperate, such is the state of the lost prince

Awaken!

Finally he understand his restlessness. Those are planted,fake memories!!

Finally the black prince regained his memories and powers.
 the Britannian soldiears are so dead.

Geass, activate!

I am Zero

wow...==

Ah, the evil emperor

Kururugi Susaku.knight of seven.the most irritating and

hated character in this series.(my personal opinion, of course)

As we can see, Lelouch's all brains and no muscle. And in R2, he is first featured as an innocent student with a bit of prank. However, beneath the calm surface, he is feeling restless and lost and powerless against the discrimination of the pure blood Britannian barons.

The story unfolds as C.C. lead the remnants of Black Knights into an operation of saving Lelouch and helping him to regain his memory. Only few know that the great commander of the Black Knights is indeed a student, one with brain power high enough to be called a prodigy. In fact, the great Zero has a dark secret of his own; he, himself, is the seventh prince of Britannia.

The story has many twists and turns, and unexpected ones, it is. We are often amazed by the  unexpexted but brilliant strategy employed by Lelouch when facing the army of Britannia. Though some aided by luck, it is undeniably one of the highlights of this anime. Not to mention Lelouch always maintains a grand pose when he makes his appearance as Zero.

rating: 9/10

one word: Awesome!!!

老师的眼泪

上高中时，我们班只是个普通班，比起由尖子生组成的六个实验班来说，考上大学的机会不多，因此除了几个学习好的同学很努力外，大多数人都等着混个文凭，然后找个工作。

  我们的班主任兼任英文老师是个刚从师范学院毕业的学生，他非常敬业，每日催着我们学习学习再学习，作业作业再作业。但是说归说，由于抱着破罐破摔的想法，我们的成绩依然上不去，在全校各科考试中屡屡落败。

  直到高二的一次英文联考，我们班的成绩破天荒地超过了几个实验班的学生，这仍我们接连高兴了好几天。

  发卷子的时候到了，老师平静地把卷子发给我们。我们欣喜地看着自己几乎没有得过的高分，老师说：“请同学们自己计算一下分数。”数着数着，我的分竟比实际分数高出20 分，同学们也纷纷喊起来，“老师给我们怎么多算了20 分。”课堂上乱了起来。

  老师摆了摆手，班上平静下来。他沉重地说：“是的，我给每位同学都多加了20 分，这是我为自己的脸面也是为你们的脸面多加的20 分。老师拼命地教你们，就是希望你们为老师争口气，让老师不要在别的老师面前始终低着头， 也希望你们不要再别班的同学面前总是低着头。”

  老师接着说：“我来自山村，我的父母都去世得早，上中学时我连红薯土豆都吃不起，大学放暑假，我每天到建筑工地拉砖，曾因饥饿而晕倒。但我就是凭着一股要强的精神上完师院，生活教会我在任何时候都不能服输。而你们只不过被分在普通班就丧失了信心，我很替你们难过。”

  这时候教室安静极了，同学们都低下了头。老师继续说：“我希望我的学生们也做到要强的人，任何时候都不服输，现在还只是高二，离高考还有一年多的时间，努力还来得及，愿你们不靠老师弄虚弄假就挣回足够的分数，让老师能把头抬起来，继续要强下去。”

  “同学们，拜托了！”说完，老师低下头，竟给我们深深地鞠了一躬。当他抬起头时，我们看到他的眼睛流出了泪水。

  “老师。”全班的女生们都哭了起来，男生的眼里也含满了泪水。

  那一节课，我们什么也没有学，但一年后的高考，我们以普通班的身份夺得了全校高考第一名。据校长说，这在学校的历史上是从来没有过的。

  我们每一个学生都记住了老师的眼泪。

后记：上帝把你分到了一个“人生普通班”，没有显赫门庭，没有万贯家财，没有骄 人容颜，没有过人天赋，那么你能不能考过“重点班”呢？

Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi(千与千寻) review

spirited away. ah, what a nice anime.it was the epitome of anime =D
thumbs up*

and Chihiro (also called Sen, the name given by Yubaba) is cute too! (well, that's besides the point)

I was repulsed when I was first introduced to it by my cousin.

I think it was the idea that Chihiro's parents's turned into pigs that repulsed me ;P

anyway, gave it a try, and it was indeed....... good.

following the story, we gain an insight of Sen's timid self, and her transformation into someone brave, helpful honest and has a big heart for love.

we are also introduced to the character Haku-san which is actually a white dragon (cool)

he has a particular fondness for Sen, which the latter reciprocates and calls him by the name of Haku-chan, and he was the one that saved Sen when she first clambered into the world of Immortals(=0= the knight in shinning armour!! LOL). He claimed that he'd met Sen before, as he had called out her name without the former telling him, and this feeling's also shared by Sen. (the secret is later revealed at the end of the anime, if you wanna know, you have to watch)

ok, well then , every movie and anime has to got an antagonist, and in here, it goes by the name of Yubaba...

well, this Yubaba is actually an ugly old woman who looks like a toad with oversized head and lots of wrinkles, who cares only for money and profits. she controls Haku and treats him as his slave as she is in possession of his real name. In fact, everyone who wants to find a job needs to sign a contract with her, and in exchange she hid their real names  and gave them a new one. This gave her the power over them, Sen included.

haha, sorry about my babbling.

actually the story's very simple. to sum it up,

Chihiro's parents have been turned into pigs(yeah, PIGS!) as a punishment for eating the food prepared for  the gods and goddess, In order to save them, Chihiro, with a little help from Haku, signs a contract with Yubaba and begins her work in the realms of Gods(which is actually a bathhouse where gods come to relax).

and thus her adventure begins,where she befriends a lot of people, gods and mystical beings alike, which of course, has a happy ending.

such a pity the fate of Haku remains a mystery, though he has regained his real name(thanks to Sen), the movie ends without him in the happy picture, and that gives us an inkling as to what becomes of him.

my rating : 8/10

one phrase: worth watching!! ^^


the reason it's a must watch:
1. amazing story line
2. nice music
3. it still retain the innocence which is rare among animes nowadays

28/9侧记
