Blood of Sídhe

To fight, to live
We two of three bestow this gift
To see, to feel
To stand upon the ancient seal
To know, to feed
To change, l'Sídhe
From earth she comes
From air she breathes
From water, her prison beneath the seas
Fire burn
Desire bleed
As we will, so mote it be.

♥♥♥Happy Valentine's Day♥♥♥

Hi everyone!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥Happy Valentine's Day!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Not that this day is a special day for me. It's another normal, boring day for me. I was supposed to go out with a friend but she backed out at the last minute. I understood that she had no choice but still...I can't help feeling pissed off. As my mother says, there's only a 10% chance to be able to go out without any sudden changes/cancellations with this particular friend.

Anyway, I hope that everyone else will will enjoy this special day thoroughly.

Once again,

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥Happy Valentine's Day!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

P.S That's a pretty pink isn't it?

The bizarre technologies....The search for a Laptop...Plus Iron Man&Hair Dryer

FINALLY! I had bought the Iron Man VCD,couple days ago, from TS at $12.50, a few dollars cheaper than the selling price $15.90 at CD-RAMA. Indeed, I had watched Iron Man before...however, it was good enough to re-watch tons of times. That's the reason why I am willing to fork out that couple bucks for it. That's true for TRANSFORMER as well, though the VCD seems to be out of stock at TS. Oh well, maybe next time! I re-watched it the very same day I bought it and I enjoyed thoroughly. I even managed to watched the scene after the credits which promised a sequel. I missed that part when I was in the cinemas.

That wasn't the only stuff I had bought recently. I had bought a Philips SalonDry 'n Straight HP 4867 at Harvey Norman today, 5 February 2009, Thursday. It costs me $69.90. I haven't tried it yet. I will after my shower. The salesman said that if it's spoiled, I can get a new one free of charge if I have the receipt. The picture is as below. You can find information of it here. Initially, I was thinking of getting a Braun hair dryer. However, I soon aborted the plan as a better one means an expensive one. Then, I was thinking of getting a Philips SalonDry Professional HP 4992 or Philips SalonDry Control HP 4983 or Philips SalonDry 'n Straight HP 4867. I decided to bought the last option as I decided that I don't need that high watt and I heard that a higher watt means more damage to the hair. Besides, Philips SalonDry 'n Straight HP 4867 has a floating comb which is used for straightening the hair. Thus, I have more options to choose from.



Below is an account of what happened today.

After going to a Polyclinic with my mother, we went to a shopping mall. After shopping around, my mother wanted me to look for clothes so that I could wear to Polytechnic but it's either it doesn't suit me or I don't like it. Oh well. I will try UNIQLO when it opens. I am thinking of getting a pair brown coloured low heeled boots. I had always like boots. This could be the perfect chance for me to get it!

After lunch, we were basically wandering around aimlessly in that mall. I suggested going to Challenger since I just wanted to see the laptops they are selling there. I am going to get a laptop(FINALLY!~)for my studies at Polytechnic. I saw the cute pink laptop I saw someone using at the library. However, the keyboard is white in colour which means that it will get dirty very easily. Among those laptops that I had seen, I love the cute HP Mini 1000 that cost only $799. It light and small enough and it's keyboard is superb! The keys are big and easy to press! That's the thing I loved about it most. I found later at home via internet it's disadvantages which put me off by a little. I took couple of pamphlets before leaving Challenger. We head for Harvey Norman to get that Philips SalonDry 'n Straight HP 4867 when I saw the very same HP MIni 1000selling at the very same price as Challenger. So cute!
Oh well, I got the Philips SalonDry 'n Straight HP 4867 after the very same salesman who had sold us the vacuum cleaner explained to me it's features. After his explanation, I knew clearly that Philips SalonDry 'n Straight HP 4867 is the hair dryer I wanted. Hopefully it will work well and give me shiny beautiful hair with less damage!

Now that the re-account is done, I shall list down the criteria hopefully the laptop I am going to buy will meet.

1) Small-I don't want a big one that might not fit into my bag.
2) Light-So I wouldn't have a heavy bag.
3) Decent features and stuff.
4) Wireless.
5) Great price-This is a hard one to meet.

I think that's all. I don't know much about laptops, computers and all that software and hardware anyway. I don't even know what's a Intel Core 2 Duo...looks like I need to consult my uncles again...>.<|||

I do know what to do with my laptop though. I shall see if there's any Doraemon screen stick on thing(I don't know what's that called) that prevents people for seeing what you are doing with your laptop. I want it mainly for privacy and also out of my love for Doraemon! =D

BoA is going to release her debut self-titled English album,BoA, on 17th March 2009. Following the release of her English album, BoA is going to release her second greatest hit album on 18th March 2009. There are several version of it. I had found the information of the albums from Wikipedia as quoted below. More information about the tracks and the albums can be found at the BoA discography website.

Best & USA will be the second greatest hits album by South Korean pop singer BoA. The album will be released in CD, 2CD and a limited 2CD+2DVD edition. The CD version will contain all of BoA's Japanese singles from Do the Motion to Eien/Universe/Believe in Love, and two tracks from her English debut album, BoA. The 2CD and 2CD+2DVD version contains two extra tracks on her Japan Best CD, and a separate CD containing her debut English album.[1]



The different version of her albums are break down below.

Firstly, her USA album as seen below.



Secondly, a BEST & USA 2CD album that features her USA album as well as the Japan Best album as seen below.



Thirdly, a BEST & USA 2CD+2DVD album. The 2CD are her USA album and her Japan Best respectively. The 2DVDs features her ~JAPAN BEST MUSIC VIDEO~ and also another that features ~MUSIC VIDEO&SPECIAL CONTENTS~. The cover for the 2CD+2DVD album is seen below.



The concept of the BEST & USA 2CD and BEST & USA 2CD+2DVD album cover features BoA in the red dress which represents Asia's BoA and the BoA in black dress shows BoA as USA's BoA.

I am going to get the Best & USA 2CD+2DVD version as it will be more worth it than the other versions. =D

If you like BoA, why not get the album? ^0^

Post Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users on aired at Channel 8

The Doraemon 2007 movie, Doraemon: Nobita's New Great Adventure into the Underworld - The Seven Magic Users was aired on Channel 8, 27 January 2009, Tuesday.

Although I do own the the DVD, I made it a point to climb out of my bed at 9.20am and watched the movie at 10am sharp.

After watching it, I certainly had some things to say about. No, not of the movie itself but rather, the missing of some scenes in the movie.

It's quite obvious that somebody had cut away some scenes as they might deemed it no help to continual to the storyline.

I certainly do not think so. Every scene in the movie counts and those missing scenes are actually some funny parts or parts that will lead us to know more about Doraemon.

Yes, I am pissed. Somehow they have to cut away scenes. In other shows I had watched, that happens as well.

Let me list down the scenes and changes I had noticed to the movie you had seen on the television.

1) When Doraemon had that stomachache and went back to the 22th Century, there's actually a scene which Doraemi wanted to drag Doraemon to a capsule that will give Doraemon a thorough body checkup. Doraemon's stomachache had stopped by then, refused to obey and ran back to Nobita's house. From this incident, we can actually learned that Doraemon is afraid of taking a health checkup besides his well known fear of mice.

2) After the proposing the idea of having a magical world to replace reality, Nobita and Doraemon tried to used magic but to no avail. This is a funny scene as both were shouting random curses and were going all for it.

3) On the way to the hill behind Nobita's school to check out the black meteorite, Shizuka marveled at Doraemon's use of magic that enable him to fly. She was actually referring the Take-copter. Doraemon said that the use of Take-copter was not due to his magic but science and technology. Shizuka then laughed at Doraemon for believing in science and technology as they were both superstitions. This was one of the effect of changing the reality world into the magical world.

4) The floating magic chant that was commonly used throughout the movie, differ in Japanese and Chinese. In Japanese version, it was "Jin Ka La Hoi!" but in Chinese version, it was changed to "Chan Ku La Ho!".

That's about the changes and missing scenes I had noted. Perhaps I had missed out some but..oh well, if you wished to watch the entire movie without any missing scenes or advertisements, getting the DVD is the way to go!
