Enter, the final boss

What's really important?

And what's truly genuine, in that sense?

Today just leaves me full of questions. Questions that I don't have the answer to.

I wouldn't normally be so perplexed, but this hectic project week has gotten my hands full. I can heardly breathe, and I'm sure many could say the same.

In any case, this is no time to be wasting on pointless thoughts. Pointless, at least for now.

The final battle looms ahead.

Gyakuten Meets Orchestra

The new Gyakuten Saiban orchestral album, released just 4 days ago, 16th July 2008.

Certain tracks were sort of a disappointment upon my first listen, either because it lacked the oomph or because of the recording quality itself. I like the new additions Villian Suite, Gyakuten Saiban 4 Courtroom Suite and Swingin' Zenitora though. This version of The Steel Samurai is also pretty nice.

And yeah if you noticed I finally uploaded a picture after so long. It's not much, but my current mood just beseeched me to.

I was just learning the Star Onion's version of Vana'diel March on piano. It's a very good arrangement and very fun to play.

Speaking of Vana'diel, I was just watching some Puppetmaster videos yesterday and they got me hyped up about leveling my puppetmaster(yet again). It's probably another short term kinda motivation, but I'll see how far it brings me this time.

Ah, FFXI.

Good ole AntiHero, and those before it - TheFatedOnes, Genocyde, thieveZguild.

One Week

The tissue paper argument still stands.

But that's not even valid for use for some, because it's actually turning the tables against us. That actually makes me think, a friend like this is better without.

Friday was a good example of one, though.

And speaking of Friday, Hokkaido Fair was great. I got lots of food I wanted, like those curry buns, the special croquettes, and those cheese sticks and chocolate souffles. What came as a disappointment to me though, was the horrifying 2-hour queue for that butter pancake thingy, of which the name fails me at the moment, the lack of cheese ice-cream(!), which was sold out by the time we got there, and the ramen. I guess it was just me, but the ramen wasn't really worth my 12 dollars.

My DS has been acting strange lately. No matter the game, the touch screen starts to move up and down slightly after a period of time which, to say the least, gets really frustrating. I don't know what the problem is, but I'm leaning towards the last time I dropped it. Although, it shouldn't have had much of an impact because it was in the case.

Uncertainty?

At this stage I'm pretty lost.

I read what they say and get optimistic for a bit but then it just dies down fast when I look at my position.

Yeah, pretty damn confused. No answers yet. Only thing I can do is to keep thinking.

There hasn't been any sheet music uploads for the new Final Fantasy XI Piano Collections yet. At least, I couldn't find any. I might just buy the damn book when I get my credit card, because I'm getting impatient.

There's like 3-4 more weeks of school left, then exams. And that's 3 more weeks to code our project. And hidden among these remaining weeks are 3 tests, all secretly laid out to ambush us at our weakest. Very sly, you cunning machiavellians!

I helped Xeo with Zilart mission 8 two days ago. It was the superman fight - that's what they call Eald'narche's brother. That thing died really fast, I barely got down my rotation of 4 songs. We didn't break the record though, figured we spent too much time on preperation in the battlefield.

Well here's looking forward to tomorrow's Hokkaido Fair - I've waited far too long to try out the food there.

ありがとう

Well, just gonna thank everyone who made my day today (or rather, yesterday, at this point).

Uh, be it those who wished me, who bought my present, and just all around celebrated it with me, and even the food seller who gave me an extra dish.

I appreciate it.
