Here's My Story

Inuyasha:   Well, it’s too late now, isn’t it?! If you didn’t want the ashes stolen, why didn’t you just scatter the ashes into the river? You stayed sentimental and kept hanging on to them and see what happened? Kaede:  Inuyasha, how do you feel about a grave? A grave is not simply a place to bury a body or ashes. A grave is necessary for the hearts of ones who are left behind. Inuyasha:   Hearts of those left behind? Cut-scene of memories of KIK. She stands on a hill, overlooking the village. Kaede:  (voice-over) My sister was born a priestess. And she used her special powers for the good of the villagers. She kept demons away from the village and battle illness and famine countless times, encouraging the people around her. Even after her demise, the villagers have not weakened, they are resolved to live. Cut to image of KIK’s grave . Kaede:  (voice-over) However, man is weak. Danger and uncertainty can weaken his heart. The grave was a place of reassurance. A place where

I've finished watching Bleach anime years ago but Ban and his brother told me that its manga still continued with one more arc. After reading information on some characters on Wikia, I was sufficiently intrigued to read the last arc. I enjoyed reading all the stories within the arc, including the back stories. Yes, as with past arcs, there are some curious mumbo-jumbo i.e. puzzling information but well...you'll have to hand-wave and move on haha. There's still room to develop more stories both for future timeline as well as the past e.g. concerning the Soul King. I hope these will be materialise. One major problem I had in reading the manga was the confusion caused during the fighting scene. I couldn't visually tell whose power was being exerted. At first I thought it was just the nature of manga but then now I remember I didn't have such problem with Battle Angel Alita and Akira. It's unfortunate that due to plummeting popularity, the anime didn't sho

For Naruto fans. Enjoy the nostalgia :) I love it!

Spoiler alert for those who have not watched beyond episode 431 of Naruto Shippuden. Madara cast the spell Infinite Teppanyaki Tsukoyomi and put most of the shinobis in a dream-like state. Most of the dreams were quite simple and each lasted at most 2 episodes but the one by Tsunade, oh boy, could fill an entire anime's season. After having watched the entire dream sequence, this was what happened (each open square bracket indicates an "inception"): In reality, Tsunade was dreaming about [Her having fallen asleep at a desk and dreaming about           [Her reading Jiraya's novel that wrote about                     [The Child of Prophecy. The last one occupied most of the episodes with the first one reflected in only about half an episode where she was woken up by Dan (her lover who in reality was dead long time ago). Although a little cheesy and an obvious money-grabber/delay tactic, this particular mini-arc was quite nice because many belove

Haven't had time to do much else for past few nights after I came home, aside from catching the latest Bleach & Naruto Shippuden episodes and several blogs update. Normally I have at least an hour at night to do stuff, depending on the time and duration of the pilates/yoga evening class. However, I've been having problem sleeping past few nights (yet again!) and not too sure why. Have a vague suspicion that it's due to my mouth guard. Due to the refilling of a tooth, the mouth guard has become a bit tight. Since over adjustment would result it being too loose and thus useless, adjustment has to be done bit by bit and comfort via trial and error. Adjusted once but no good. So went without it last night. Though I slept through, I had rather vivid dream and so I knew I didn't sleep well. Woke up once again feeling really tired. So due to such restless nights, I tried sleeping earlier to catch up but not working. Since tomorrow is Saturday, I'll sleep in and h

I have so far collected 21 figurines prior to Sunday, not counting the 6 Transformers in my display cabinet. My Naruto collection can be found here while the best quality figurines I have are these . People who know me might be surprised that I do not have more since I love a number of Japanese anime. However, I only buy if they look interesting to me and it is nicely done (hmmm sounds like food). This is regardless of whether I like the character or not. I would dearly love to add more figurines of quality similar to the Inuysha collection. Now, those are expensive (and I bought them at a discount). Perhaps it's time to pay the Marina Square shop once again. I have recently bought more. However, unfortunately due to having my camphone as the only digital cam I have, close up shots of these small figurines did not turn up well. So I've taken shots with their respective boxes. Actually, I've intended to buy only Sai and Sasori figurines: But they are sold as a set together
