An annoucement... Of some kind...Wow,

http://kaychase00.livejournal.com

Wow, I didn't post here for... eight months. Well, I updated this thing due to a tokuAsia purpose regarding Blogger. Sorry for those who came here, only to find out that this blog has been moved eight months ago, and needs to click on the link above.

I guess I'm moving...

The new Blogger just annoyed me by not uploading images. Instead, it tells me to sign in order to access the features. So I did. Then it leads back to the uploading images menu. So, chose the same pic. Upload Image. Google. Sign In. Menu. Upload. Google. Whatever how it went. Yes, it's quite sad that I'm moving this but at least I'll still link this blog from LiveJournal so... the blog still lives. Therefore...

GARO TV Special

GARO - Beast of the White Night (www.garo2006.com). My comment: AWESOME. I really enjoy the story. Judging by the picture, you may think that it's a Power Rangers-like show. But the truth is: IT'S NOT. GARO is not aimed for kids so... just because there's transforming involved doesn't mean it's gonna be kiddish. Same goes for Ultraman. Ultraman and other Toku shows have swearing and violence in it (and it's still a kids show), where you don't see that in Power Rangers.

Regarding the TV Special, I loved the story. Part 1 mostly involves saving Jabi as most of the time you see Kouga and Rin traveling to the Makai Forest (which doesn't take very long. They basically walked). The washroom part was scary. It was like a Horror movie. Imagine some creepy looking woman with messy hair climbing down the door to you. Yes, scary (one example it's not for kids). Rei makes a nice entrance returning with... nice music. Tsubasa, introduced as some guy with no emotions. GARO surfing into the main part of Miki, the Makai Beast, feels like a movie.

Part 2. Kouga sees his mother after 20 years. If you didn't watch the TV series, in Part 1, Kouga said that she died from an illness when he was two. In the TV series, his father (the previous GARO) got killed. Sad, isn't it? At least his butler's still around. There's one conversation I really enjoy in this part, where (mostly) Kouga talk Tsubasa "out of things":

Tsubasa: What've you come for? Don't get in my way!
Rei: There's still time. Tsubasa, be with Rin-chan.
Tsubasa: I don't take orders from you!
...
Kouga: Why are you cold to Rin?
Tsubasa: None of your business.
Kouga: So this is your Makai Knight's idea of right and wrong? What you think it means to be a knight?
Tsubasa: Shut up!
*scene shows Jabi attempting to save Rin from Legules poison, which is painful to see*
Tsubasa: When I became a Makai Knight, I made a decision to discard emotions. Unless I discard my emotions, I can't protect people. Rin is the same way. We're siblings. We must become stronger. How can you understand?!
Rei: We understand. Tsubasa, as you are now, is how Kouga used to be until just recently.
Kouga: Makai Knights fight for those who must be protected. Tsubasa... Who is the one must protect?
Tsubasa: ... Who?
Kouga: ...must you protect? It's the person you feel more for than anyone else. Remembering that face... Someone you'd give your life in battle to protect. Rin loves you. That's why she wanted to protect you. That's why she faced Legules. Isn't Rin the one you should be protecting?!

I like this conversation not because of Kouga being mean to Tsubasa. It just has this feeling and the music is just... fits there. It's like a special scene to me.

Regarding the pic posted above, credits to Rosanne for helping me on it months ago. I just made some edits yesterday like the GARO, ZERO, and DAN pics and changing "Tubasa" into Tsubasa with my MS Paint skills, not with Photoshop (I'm terrible at using that).

At least 20 people think I have a facial resemblance to him. Although before I got obsessed with this "resemblance" thing, I changed my hair to make it Kouga-ish (so it's not that somewhat mirrored, somewhat lame-ish hair anymore). Before I got my haircut in December, the hair resemblance lacked a bit so now I'm trying to make it resemble more (and no, my hair is not dyed). I'd like to make a resemblance pic of me now and months ago but that'll might as well be another time.

Credits to Rosanne for adding the text on this. Credits to me for "cutting" the picture into that.

So that's it for this post. You can download BitTorrent and watch it subbed on TV Nihon (http://tvnihon.dragoneye.ca), or watch it subbed through YouTube:

Should I "move" this blog...?

[mood: Busy & Distracted]
[music: Random doa songs]

Well, Happy... Very Late New Year to you all. As the title says, should I "move" this blog to LiveJournal (www.livejournal.com)? Judging by other people's LiveJournal blog sites, I thought of:

1. Post there as some news of certain things like what did I do, blah, blah, blah.
2. "Moving" this blog to LiveJournal.

As for #2, I end up feeling that I'll miss posting here as this account started in November 2005 and last up to now. I'm not so sure but I'll might as well stay here unless otherwise.

Well, I'll have to get back to homework (it can be a pain to me... ARGH!). A "Goodbye 2006, Hello 2007" (whatever title) coming soon and... I really gotta post about Spring Break Day Camp 2006 (it's almost a year since it happened). ARGH! Must resist distraction. My goal for this year is to stay away from the computer sometimes. This thing can be... a "curse" sometimes. And I just earned a nagging by mother (and I deserve it).

Merry Christmas II

[music: The Final Countdown - Europe]

















I like to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! =)
