Code-R

The tests are finally over! Physics was much more difficult than I thought it would be. Oh well, whatever happens, happens. The tests are over, so it’s not like I can do anything about it anymore.

Anyways, nothing helps relieves me more than a weekly dose of Shonen Jump. It came out later than usual this week but I’m surprised it came out at all. I thought last week’s issue was a double issue so technically, there isn’t suppose to be an issue released this week but hey, no one’s complaining. =)

:Sigh: Tomorrow’s already new year, which means that there’s only one day left before school re-opens. Darn, and I thought I could immerse myself in reading fanfiction, sig-making and manga colouring and enjoy myself after the tests are over. Well, better enjoy what time I have left before school starts.

Tests, what a way to end the year…

Oh, and the title for this post is related to baseball. A Strikeout or strike out occurs when the batter receives three strikes during his time at bat. I don’t read any manga regarding baseball but I have enough general knowledge to know a bit about the sport. Well, I kept my word when I said the posts about the tests will have a title related to sports (Refer to ‘First Down!!’ post). =P

Looks like the second game of Code Geass will be out March next year and it will be for PSP and PS2. The first one was for Nintendo DS. Also, it looks like this game will be a LOVE SIMULATION game!! Haha, of all things they could make a game out of. Anyways, I don’t know much about this yet so I can’t give further details. Maybe you can go here to learn more about it, it’s only a brief description though but still more detailed than what I’ve mentioned. I guess I won’t be able to buy it because I don’t own a PSP, even if I did, I don’t think I’ll buy it. I will, however, buy the first game made for DS though, if the US version comes out.

Hmm…don’t really have a specific topic to post about. I’m just doing this because I’m trying to have an entry for each day. The chain hasn’t been broken yet, so why break it now.

Anyways, I had a haircut today, had to wait for about an hour and a half for my turn (yeah, I timed using a stopwatch). Most, if not all, the customers were having their hair “un-dyed” (at least that’s what it looked like they were doing) most likely because school is re-opening soon. I would’ve scrammed if I didn’t have to go to school on Monday.

Haiz, I can’t believe my years in secondary school is almost up. It’s kinda sad yet kinda happy (Note to self, need to build up on vocabulary). In any case, I’ll leave my ramblings about secondary school for another time.

My Bio paper is done! I had to wait a whole hour before doing it though….haiz…teachers and meetings….they could just let us sit for it after school re-opens.

Anyways, good thing tomorrow’s Saturday. I can rest today since the Physics paper is on Monday. I don’t know if I’m able to cover everything in two days though. Well, in any case, I sure hope the paper is going to be easier than Bio, I had a few troubles here and there. Okay, maybe quite a lot of troubles. I seemed to have forgotten about most of what I had learnt, quite a common occurrence, I’ll say. Which means that I won’t be able to get that good a grade, I guess. Hmm….no matter, I don’t think it was entirely my fault, today still being a holiday and all. Oh, and the test was also conducted at noon due to the “delay” and I hate afternoons the most, my concentration is at it’s worst. Haha, I bet that’s just me giving excuses. =P

Oh, and regarding the title, it’s from tennis this time. Influenced by the anime/manga Prince of Tennis. “30″ is the score when a person scores for the second time in a game of a set of a match (lol, just wanted to put the “in a game of a set….” thing for fun, wanna make the post look longer).

The Chemistry test is finally done and over with. It was not as difficult as how I imagined it to be. I could answer most of the questions despite how last-minute my revision was and I only cover a little bit of the second-half of what was going to be tested. Hehe, luck must be on my side, again. The voodoo charm attached to my pencil case must have something to do with it. =P

Then again, I won’t be too surprised if I didn’t do well. My mind was not exactly in the perfect condition to do a test. It was still in “holiday mood”. Oh, and also, my eye was bugging me. It was SO red. Why? Because I used EXPIRED medicine. I was so angry at myself that I almost lost my focus. Meh, whatever. I should just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens.

Well, time to sudy for Biology. Sigh……

(PS: “First Down” is a term used in American Football. I’m thinking of using other terms from other sports as a title for the other two updates regarding this holiday tests. For fun, of course. Why do I know a term used in American Football? It’s because of Eyeshield 21, no duh!! A great manga, one of my favourites, I might add. )

I was scanning through the list of new releases on MangaUpdates when I found this. The manga version of The Saga of Darren Shan. I was searching for it for quite a while some time ago but couldn’t find anything sp I gave up. I guess the manga was not popular. But it’s a good thing I managed to stumble upon it. As of now, only two chapters are scanlated and I’m not too sure whether the scanlation will continue.

Anyways, I’ve already scanned through the chapters and it’s pretty different from the novel and the drawing isn’t really that great (no offense). The characters are different than what I pictured them to be. (Mr Tall looked like a thinner version of the Millenium Earl from D.Gray-Man) I’ve only read two chapters but I guess I can say that the novel is way better than the manga but thats normal because it is the original afterall.

I was browsing around the MangaHelpers forum and stumbled upon this. It has a really great collection of Naruto Fan Fiction.

At first, I thought that Fan Fiction was just some boring stories fans made up (no offense) but I was greatly mistaken. The stories are quite intriguing actually. I’m in the middle of reading this fanfic right now. It’s titled Beyond Hearts & Mind by Xyousha. Summary: Demons of yore are springing up for unknown reasons. Recruited by a child ghost, Hinata falls into the messy job of sealing things up. Naruto and Sasuke are unwittingly dragged in… and what is Sakura doing behind the scenes? It’s actually a sequel to another story; Dimensional Exchanges but you can still understand the story even if you hadn’t read the prequel. In fact, I find it more mysterious. I will probably read the prequel at a later time.

There’s a lot of fanfics with interesting summaries that I have my eyes on but they will have to wait. Who knew fanfics could be so interesting? =P Makes me feel like writing my own. XD Haha, maybe if I do think of a storyline, I might as well go for it. It will improve my writing skills as well.

As the title says, the Gallery section has been updated.
The Signatures section have been changed slightly and a new Tutorial Signatures section has been added to the page.
The Drawings page has finally been updated with my works.
Also, a new Manga Colourings page has been added to the Gallery.

Well, here it is. The final chapter of the series scanlated by Franky House, the quality is pretty good. Get it here or if want a higher quality version, then maybe you can wait for when TMI-Scans releases their version.

I have yet to study today…..maybe at night….if I’m not watching anime…
Argh, I’m just too lazy to bother with these tests. On one hand, I really want to get good grades so I have to study but on the other hand, it’s the holidays so I want to enjoy it while I still can. Sigh, it’s a tough choice…I guess I’ll just have to go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens.

I did these in the past two days. Refer to the previous two post for the tutorial.

I had fun making these and would have did some more if not for the fact that I have to revise. =_= Who knows when I will have the time to make this again. Hopefully, it won’t be too long so that I won’t forget how to colour them again. I will add these and my previous works in the Gallery section some other time.
