identities

I am bad at algebra.
Therefore, I am bad at trig identities.
^deductive reasoning e_e"

So this long weekend will be dedicated to proving the above statements false.

But when does the time invested becomes not worth it?
Case study: spent at least 12 hours last weekend making IRP notes. While that increased the enjoyment that I got from the book (paradice -> pair of dice *mind blown*), it didn't significantly improve my mark (an assumption, since I believe that I'll be lucky to get an 80 on that in class test).
Though trig is probably more useful than narrative analysis.

Blah less talking, more proving.

(Shall end with two sunset pictures taken from walk home from school. Darn daylight savings time T_T)

Sleepover fun at Patricia's ;D

First is dinner at Matsuda, which is actually good all-you-can-eat japaneses food.


Bottom is Spicy Salmon Roll, it's so delicious omg *u*








Black Dragon Roll at the back and Manga Roll in the middle. Manga is amaaaazing, we ordered at least 4 more plates of that.




Desserts ;D So yummy! And cute too, the puddings come in shot glasses LOL.


Like an engineer ;D


Ate waaay too much "orz Took a stroll in T&T afterwards and saw these adorable panda bao:


Back at her house, even more food e_e"

(First time trying Pocari Sweat @ the back. It's what Gatorade should taste like if it tasted good.)
That chocolate cake is heart attack in disguise, eating it at midnight didn't help either. The sugar rush did keep us all awake until the wee hours of the morning. Sugar rush and Mahjong, finally learned how to play that haha.

And now all 5 of us are at home cramming for homework, wahoo ;D

UN-GO

95% chance I'll enjoy whatever airs in noitaminA's timeslot ;D




The series is based off the works of Sakaguchi Ango (info ripped from Kenn), with quite an interesting premise. By premise I mean the first minute of the first episode, it flashes a mysterious scene which is slowly explained in the subsequent episodes. This forms a nice overarching plot tying together each episode's individual detective case.
The main character is quite cynical haha, which is a refreshing change from most protagonists. It'll be quite interesting to see how his character develops throughout the series. It'll either be excellently done or a huge let down. So many ways to ruin a good mystery e_e"

ANYWAYS. The ED song is awesome ;D 



Watch it ;D

permeating wind

This weekend will be dedicated to IRP notes, next weekend will be Trig identities, joy.




真昼の光そよぐ風に乗って
君を迎えに行く
車走らせて
それは二人で観た映画の様に
影の中にずっと消えた幻

君はまだそこで泣いてるの
遠い日々を想って
なぜにそんなに悲しい顔するの
射し込んだ日射しに髪が光を揺らしてる

ああ  明日になればきっと届く今は聞こえないけど
そう  ずっと今よりそれ以前より上手に笑えるはず
ああ  明日になればきっと届く今は聞こえないけど
そう  ずっと今よりそれ以前より上手に笑えるはず

君はまだそこで泣いてるの
遠い雨に濡れて
なぜにそんなに悲しい顔するの
さめた日射しを光が突き抜けて

ああ  明日になればきっと届く今は聞こえないけど
そう  ずっと今よりそれ以前より上手に笑えるはず
ああ  明日になればきっと届く今は聞こえないけど
そう  ずっと今よりそれ以前より上手に笑えるはず

alert

Photoshop is a great way to procrastinate.



This place has ridiculously delicious orange iced tea.

there will be time

^oh Prufrock e_e"

The extra hour from Day Light Saving time was spent savoring the wonderful world of fiction before the inevitable return to face my UT National essay "orz

These two novels are great:

Awesome cover art to boost ;D

Super Sad True Love Story

The son of a Russian immigrant, protagonist Leonard (Lenny) Abramov, a middle-aged, middle class, and otherwise unremarkable man whose mentality is still in the past century, falls madly in love with Eunice Park, a young Korean-American struggling with materialism and the pressures of her traditional Korean family. The chapters alternate between profuse diary entries from the old fashioned Lenny and Eunice's biting e-mail correspondence on her "GlobalTeens" account. In the background of what appears to be a love story that oscillates between superficiality and despair, a grim political situation unravels. America is on the brink of economic collapse, threatened by their Chinese creditors. In the meantime, the totalitarian Bipartisan government's main mission is to encourage and promote consumerism while eliminating political dissidents. In the midst of all this, in a world where anyone's sexuality can be rated at the touch of the screen, where the privileged can live forever but the unfortunate die too soon, there is still value to being a real human being

This Is Where I Leave You

The death of Judd Foxman's father marks the first time that the entire Foxman family—including Judd’s mother, brothers, and sister—have been together in years. Conspicuously absent: Judd’s wife, Jen, whose fourteen-month affair with Judd’s radio-shock-jock boss has recently become painfully public. Simultaneously mourning the death of his father and the demise of his marriage, Judd joins the rest of the Foxmans as they reluctantly submit to their patriarch's dying request: to spend the seven days following the funeral together. In the same house. Like a family. As the week quickly spins out of control, longstanding grudges resurface, secrets are revealed, and old passions reawakened. For Judd, it's a weeklong attempt to make sense of the mess his life has become while trying in vain not to get sucked into the regressive battles of his madly dysfunctional family. All of which would be hard enough without the bomb Jen dropped the day Judd's father died: She's pregnant. This Is Where I Leave You is Jonathan Tropper's most accomplished work to date, a riotously funny, emotionally raw novel about love, marriage, divorce, family, and the ties that bind—whether we like it or not. 

Both books feature a rather chaotic setting which supplements the humor quite well. What I really enjoyed, more so was impressed by, in Super Sad True Love Story is the difference in perspective between Lenny and Eunice. Their account of the same event is painfully different, even the font changes haha. The author also managed to create sympathy, or at least pity, for both characters.

This Is Where I Leave You is also about falling apart and not quite coming back together. The Foxman siblings' constant exchange of sharp words is quite entertaining and offsets the severity of the events each of them went through. It was hard to put this novel down, evident in my early wake up this morning in attempt to finish it. It uses cool words too ;D "calamitous"

on a side note:
Wish my SimCity looked like this

Fuzion Autumn Experience prix-fix coincides perfectly. The service there is really good and well worth the price during this annual event.
