Day 53 - Gokusen All Day

I just finished watching the Gokusen series. I gotta say that it was pretty damn entertaining to watch. The comedy fell a bit short, but I did catch myself laughing hard a few times. It was more story-driven anyways. The characters progressed very well and the protagonist, Yankumi, didn't get annoying. Next one on the list is probably Hana Yori Dango. I'll give it another shot now that I have more respect for the actors that star in it.

My eyes hurt from all the Gokusen... I'll watch the specials at a later date, so I don't get bored and finished with a series so quick. It's nice to go back and remember it all again.

Damn, the song Sorafune by Tokio is stuck in my head... I can't stop singing it!!!

Anyways, off to bed. It's either shows all day or going to Chris' house tomorrow. We'll see what's going down.

G'night.

Day 52 - ITS OVER!!! + Acceptance

I got accepted to all three of my university applications! I plan on making my decision soon... We'll see what happens. I'm very happy and excited!

Yesterday, I finished My Boss My Hero. AWESOME SERIES. If you have the chance, go watch all the episodes. You won't regret it.

I'm actually really pissed off that it's over. I'm almost certain that I'm going to re-watch it all soon. The characters develop very well, and it feels like a show is missing some soul when they're not there. I'm hoping to find a series as satisfying as the one I just watched. The midget in my body is hurting me from the inside... why did you have to end so suddenly?!

I started a new series called "Gokusen" which is pretty good so far. Very similar premise as MBMH, but has less comedy. Still pretty entertaining, so I can't really complain.

Today, I headed Downtown with some of my friends. I was originally searching for the Ransom varsity, but when I got there, they didn't have my colour preference or size. I tried it on regardless, and in my opinion, the quality could have been WAY better. The wool was really thin and the leather didn't feel that great. Oh well... looks like I'll be saving my money. I guess it worked out for the better.

Dinner was Korean BBQ today with the peeps.

Top's facial hair = win





LOL ADRIAN



Oh, and I got my wallet today. Thanks James! It's awesome!



That about ends my post for today. One more episode of Gokusen and then bed. Probably heading to Chris' tomorrow.

G'night.

Day 51 - DONE

Semester one is finally finished!!! The exam today was not bad at all. I had some trouble with a few questions, but I think I made it out fine. Now it's time to relax... until next week of course.

It is so late right now. I stayed up and watched three 45 minute episodes of My Boss My Hero. It's definitely one of my favourite shows at the moment! More MBMH marathon tomorrow. I need to catch some sleep.

I hope my wallet comes in soon. I'm pretty anxious for it's arrival. Impatience is taking it's toll. ARRIVE ALREADY!!!

Alright, off to bed. Tomorrow = SF4 online and possibly a B-Day dinner for a friend.

G'night.

Day 50 - Exams almost done.

One more to go... Studied almost all day for this next one. I hope I do well.

Gotta wake up early tomorrow, so I'm gonna keep this one short. Had hockey at 9:30. Almost didn't go because of the exam, but I studied for quite some time beforehand. Anyways, netted one in, extending my point streak to 3 games. 2 goals and 2 assists in the three games of the streak. Not bad... I gotta try hard to keep it going!

Started watching a Japanese drama called "My Boss, My Hero". Extremely funny comedy! I finished one episode yesterday and it cracked me up. I'm going to try and finish the whole series on the exam break.

Alright I'm off to bed...

G'night.

Day 49 - Notes on Notes!

Man, am I tired of studying... Biology exam is at 12:45 tomorrow. Probably going to study in the cafeteria early in the morning tomorrow just to freshen my mind.

Enough with the biology...


Anyways, I want to hit up Ransom soon to pick up a varsity. I saw pictures of them online and they look AMAZING. Quality looks impeccable and the materials look really clean. If I can't get my hands on one, I might just get a WrongWroks one. Still pretty nice, but I would still prefer the Ransom. On the other hand, the WrongWroks one is a bit cheaper...

I'll make my decision when I make my way downtown.

WRONGWROKS

RANSOM



Alright, better sleep well before the exam.

G'night.

Day 48 - Study

Studying for exams is hard work!!!

Biology on Tuesday

Earth and Space Science on Thursday




After that... finito! I can't wait to get it all over with. Sucks that I have to say farewell to my great teachers. It's been a fun semester! Met some great people and enjoyed some good times. Let's hope that Semester 2 will be just as good!

Alright time to sleep. Gotta wake up early and study all day...

G'night books.

Day 47 - Billy Talent

Listening to Billy Talent music brings me back to the good days... I remember listening to Try Honesty on Much Music and was instantly hooked. Picked up their CD right after and couldn't put it down. I listened to them from Grade 6 and have followed their music ever since.

I can safely say that Billy Talent 3 didn't do it for me. It felt so mainstream and more poppy. Some songs were great, but the CD as a whole didn't do it for me. I need the old, edgy Billy Talent back. The Billy Talent that used weird ass chords, cool lyrics, and awesome effects.

I just put 1 and 2 on my iPod and I'm glad I did. Nothing beats the warm feeling of nostalgia on a cold and dark winter night.

I'm out. Better sleep early today.

G'night.

Day 46 - ABEL

Been practicing so much Abel lately... and I still got my ass handed to me online. I guess it's a bit early to go test my skills against competitive players. I need to practice a ton more before I get anywhere with this game.

Pretty frustrating when your fighting stick is crap. There are so many dropped inputs and the stick and buttons are so stiff. Unfortunately, it's all I have right now. If only I can get my hands on a fight stick with Sanwa parts for a decent price... Damn you FREE1UP for having one of the greatest custom sticks of all time!!!


If only I could get an arcade cabinet in my house!




Anyways, still waiting for my wallet to arrive. I'm very excited to see it in person. Business with James from Obbigood has been great. Awesome service and communication. I'm glad I picked his goods. It should be here in a week or so.

Exams are coming up... I better start studying for those over the weekend. It's almost over though. I just have to work hard and get it all over with next week. With the exam break, I hope to work on the short film Josh, Chris and I are starting. Hopefully we'll get some good ideas going and work on production by the end of January.

That's about it for this one. Time to sleep. Don't want to stay up too late, yet those Japanese talk shows are really tempting right now...

G'night.

Day 45 - Weekend Shenanigans

This week was pretty eventful on its own. I had a bunch of stuff due and have a whole lot of projects to finish, but I'll deal with it all this week and whatnot. This semester is almost done... I just gotta hold on and finish up properly!

Anyways, I was meaning to do this yesterday, but I fell asleep. It worked out for the better though, because now I can merge today's and yesterday's events in one whole post.

I saw Book of Eli yesterday with a few friends. Great movie IMO. The good thing about it is, the twist was not the fact that it was a religious film. It was very symbolic, entertaining, and the twist got me thinking. Definitely a solid movie. Go see it if you can and tell me how you like it. 7.5/10



Today, I saw Daybreakers. Holy crap... it was horrible. The CGI was laughable and some scenes were unintentionally funny... and you wouldn't believe what the cure to vampirism is. It was entertaining, but it dragged on at the end and left everyone to assume what happens after the events of the film. The fact that one of the charaters looked like Abel from Street Fighter gave it an extra 0.5. 5.5/10



I'm starting to play more and more Street Fighter 4. I'm really getting to know this game's mechanics and characters. I feel that I'm liking it more and more as each playthrough goes by. I'm actually kinda excited for Super Street Fighter 4 now!


Started listening to L'Arc en Ciel; as requested by a friend. They are amazing!!!


Gotta go study for biology test now. I will probably leave a bit of studying for spare tomorrow.

G'night.

I'm just going to show some photos of past weeks. Hanging with good friends, food, entertainment = win.

Good times. Went to Sushi Mountain as well, but didn't take pics. I think I'm headed there again this weekend, but plans aren't finalized yet. I have updates of my jeans to post tomorrow, so stay tuned!!

Day 43 - SLEEP

I'm so tired. Been getting barely any sleep due to schoolwork and Youtube late-nights.

I think I might be picking up an Obbigood wallet soon. I have to get my university application in first though...

Anyways, I'm thinking about a Studio D'artisan Style with a regular braided reign.



Alright, it's off to sleep.

G'night.
