Found in Translation - World Embryo

Just a quick drabble to the World Embryo fans. If you're wondering on what the title in chapter 14 says, I recently downloaded mIRC and then spoke to one of the mods asking for the translation and this is what 'he' says:

"From Hand to Hand"

So there you go. Big thanks to -Asakura- from the M7 mIRC channel for answering the question. Now, if you excuse me, I'm 'going to bishie-hunt down' Riku and meddle with his 'ears'. *Turns an evil grin*

Quote of the moment - "We suggest you use an A4 hardbook sketchbook for this project." - That Introductory Studies Course Leader (who will be nameless) from Staffordshire University (Huzzah! They accepted me! ^_^)

Must Be Seeing Double

Yes, you read that right. I was going to the alternative called the 'Internet', where I find something surprising similar to the characters from World Embryo.

Takao (World Embryo) and K' (King of Fighters series)

Whoa! Takao does ressemble K', in terms of hair style, except K' uses fists and Takao uses a katana...and there's something not human about him. You want proof, go and check below for these screenshots and decide for yourself.




Riku Amami - Kanshu form (World Embryo) and Allen Walker (D. Gray Man or Something)

Someone mentioned that Kanshu Riku looks like that bloke, Allen Walker and I dismissed at first. Until I went to the D. Gray Man fansite and found I was wrong. My God, he DOES look similar to Allen! Except, I don't think Riku would be a good Exorcist, lol.



Youhei Takabe (World Embryo) and Kaede (Last Blade series)

Choose the blonde haired version of Kaede and you'll see why he looks similar to Youhei.



Nagase (World Embryo) and Reno (Final Fantasy VII and Advent Children)

Oh come on! Don't look at me like that! Someone at the Deviantart.com website thought that not only Nagase looks like the fangirl's favourite Turk, he also act like him, except...Reno didn't die, unlike Nagase, but I'm not going to tell you, since you have to read it for yourself.




Riku Amami - Human Form (World Embryo) and Harry Potter (Harry Potter series)

Last, but not least (well for the male part. Dammit! I can't find the female lookalike), is that before Riku became Kanshu, his human form really looks like the Wizard-in-training boy, as told by my sister. At first, I thought she was joking, but boy was I wrong...



And there you have it, a shortlist of the World Embryo lookalikes that I've found out. Okay, I would have add Kanzaki and Rude to the list, but somehow Rude's not some head of the Turks (it's Tseng!). If you've got any more lookalikes, including the female characters of course, just let me know. Well, ciao for now!

Quote of the moment - "My wife awoke me with grim news: Russell Crowe was on TV, in handcuffs." - Jack Marx quoting about Russell 'Gladiator-cum-Master-and-Commander' Crowe from the Sunday Time s Magazine.

Cannot Stop Reading

Damn you Daisuke Moriyama (in a good way ^_^)! Because of reading too much World Embryo, I am now somehow attracted to the main protagonist, Riku Amami, because not only his characterisation, but his looks. By the time I got into chapter 6, where...

*SPOILER! Highlight it, either at your own risk or you already read* Riku was killed by a Kanshu after he was free and barely managed to keep his memory from losing by the enemy, but then got resurrected from Neene's mysterious powers, to which he becomes a Kanshu himself. Only except, unlike the unlucky ones that become Kanshu, Riku (now in Kanshu mode) killed the bloody lot and after regaining his senses, in particular thanks to his childhood friend and Jinki User, Youhei; he was captured...and yet after that, he was still in his Kanshu form, but now he can control himself. Man, I never he would turn out to be so hot and goodlooking! *Drools at Kanshu Riku. A lot.* *END SPOILER*

And now, becuase of the bloody tension he's left at 13, I can't wait for a bloody month to download the scanlation and read. And then re-read. And then re-re-read. And then, etc. Only a couple of days to go. Dammit. >_< Quote of the moment - "What is it...?(Mesh?)" - Riku Amami from Daisuke Morimaya's excellent latest manga, World Embryo.

Nearly Got Out of Exam Hell

Dammit! Only 6 days to go, before I can really say sayonara to exams, school and chemistry teachers (well, there is one exception, but I'll it at that)! Yay! But wait, bad news! *Gasp* Unfortunately, three days after my A2 chemistry exam, I've got that Book Return Day *BOO!*, where I have to return the bloody textbooks I've used, but I lost two technology textbooks! O_O;

Hehe, but at least I've saved the GCSE version, so that my graphic design will not haunt me for the rest of my life! Well, only 6 days to go, before I can finally post the two special chapters of Nimbus Exploration! Btw, the special chapters were written, before revision start, so be grateful the wait is well worth it.

And oh yes, I forgot to say thanks to mihoyonagi for making the great AeriSeph icon; I gave the original source for her to photoshop it, as you can see on the top-right hand corner. Thanks mate, keep writing the latest chapters for Unspoken! ^_^

My Lovely Ball Photos

Yes, this was the last time my friends and I are going to see each other at school, but hey, here are some photos with comments by moi!

My friend Graham wanted to do some poses while I took some photos with him, so here you go Graham! Love that James Bond pose!

"The name's Wade. Graham Wade." lol

Laura and Yoo Jin - The two lovely girls dressing up for such an occasion. You look so fabulous!

And here is my favourite friend Michael, who loves Final Fantasy VII as much as I do too.

Oh look! It's the party bus! Just arrived here in time for the ball!

And here's the rest of them, since I can't be bothered to post them all of my ball photos.

Btw, if you're not in the ball on Saturday night and been wondering who's that short girl in a white Vietnamese national dress, that's me. Yes, that's Sho-saka, ak.a. Sho Lover herself. Now, you can comment about the ball or something. They're very welcome indeed. ^_^

Wow! I never knew his voice was sexy...

Let's see, I've bought (well my younger sis paid the other half) for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children DVD last week with a FREE poster, I've decided to watch the whole film IN ENGLISH and this is how I thought about the character voices:

• Cloud: I've already heard Steve Burton's voice in Kingdom Hearts, so it's no surprise he still reprising his role in Advent Children and it still really fits his voice.
• Tifa: Well, it did fit her voice, but on the mobile phone, she sounded like a robot!
• Barret: Fits well, nuff said.
• Cid: Haven't heard him for a long time, but it did fits his rough attitude.
• Yuffie: Well, at least her voice wasn't a hyper version of Rikku from FFX.
• Red XIII: For some reason, even though his accent's a bit British, he does sound and fit well.
• Vincent: He sounded like Snake from Metal Gear Solid having a bad day with his throat, but it still fits.
• Cait Sith: Scottish accent?! Don't usually see this in many video game movies. More surprisingly, the Japanese version had him in Scottish accent too!
• Rufus: Cool and intelligent. That's all I could say.
• Reno: His voice did fit well, but no 'yo' slang in it. Drat!
• Rude: His voice did fit well too and I'm surprised Crispin Freeman did that, even though he did the voice of Albel from Star Ocean: Till the End of Time!
• Elena: Short role, but fits.
• Tseng: The same goes for him, having his voice done by a Chinese bloke or something.
• Reeve: And for him.
• Kadaj: Young and violent. That's very fitting for his voice.
• Yazoo: His voice fits well too, but sounds a slightly fruity, though with a hint of Riku's English voice from Kingdom Hearts.
• Loz: I'm really worried about this when he was actually a big softie at heart, but thankfully at least the voice actor actually cried.
• Marlene: She sounded like an eight year old girl, but it fits well.
• Denzel: The same goes for him.
• Zack: Short role too, but at least his voice did fit well.
• Aerith: She really sounded a lot like Yuna from the English version of FFX (btw, Mena 'American Pie' Suvari provided the voice of Aerith), but it really fits her well.
• Sephiroth: And finally, I've come to the last person that I have been dreading to hear his voice in English, but...[highlight, if you don't want to know]....MY GOD, GIVE GEORGE NEWBERN A TREAT, because his voice is way too sexy to describe this! And thank the Lord, Lance Bass isn't going to reprise his role.

And that's my summary. Feel free to commment on the voices, whether you like it or not.

Quote of the moment - 'Reno: (speaking in high pitch) Hel-lo!

Rude: Hell no! (The two Turks ran away like scared chocobos.)' - English version of FFVII: Advent Children

I Found An AeriSeph Doujinshi...

...well at least I found one as an online doujinshi. Even though it's in Japanese I found this VERY rare AeriSeph online doujinshi called 'Secret Innocence' and it's set how would Aeris/Aerith and her mother Ilfana (Effulunar in the Japanese FFVII for some reason) escaped the Shinra Building with a help from a certain silver-haired teenager (i.e. Sephiroth), before the 'real' storyling in FFVII kicks in.

Now, before you can go to the link in a moment, here's a warning: If you ARE not an Aeris/Aerith x Sephiroth fan like me, then I suggest you would not click it right now as it would contain some AeriSeph moments. However, if you are an AeriSeph fan, then this is a great read for all AeriSeph fans, even if it's in Japanese.

Click here for the RARE AeriSeph online doujinshi, if you like the pairing.

And if you like artwork, then you click to the FFVII fanart site here.

Now, if only could someone please translate 'Secret Innocence into English (and yes, that involves asking the permission to the original fanartist that created this doujinshi)? I'll pay you with lots of 'money'!

Coffee + Good Mood = Argh!

Stupid caffinated coffee! Yesterday and today, coffee has just ruined my life. Argh! I'm so hyperactive, I can't even think on where to put the correct number into a sudoku puzzle! Argh!

Well, anyway, this morning, my frined Jenny discussed about men in the virtural world and my video game plan in the future. And for some apparent reason she gave me a good indication on what fantasy men I fancied. Well, I have some good favourite male characters, but the others I am going to mention are just downright bizarre. So, here's the list sample on the 'normal' male charaters that I like:

• Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII
• Rufus Shinra (blonde) from FFVII
• Reno from FFVII

And here are the somewhat downright bizarre that I am strangely attracted to:

• Doctor Octopus from Spiderman 2 (The movie version, duh!): don't really ask me, but his looks is better than the animated series.
• Killy from BLAME!: I have no idea why he is good-looking, not to mention if there was ever any female fans of Killy. Or maybe I must be the only girl in the world to have a liking to him, due to his pale looks and Japanese-type hairdo and other stuff.
• Loz from FFVII: Advent Children: I'm really not sure, if he ever had some female fans, but I like him, because let's just say, he's a big softie at heart and if he was off-camera from Advent Children, he would have bought moogle and chocobo plushies for Marlene (note in during the film, that Marlene is actually behind Loz, making that he's pretty gentle with her, despite kidnapping her for the 'doom' reason or something).
• 'Hero' from Dragon Quest (VIII, if you live outside Europe): The Journey of the Cursed King: Okay, so he doesn't talk, but he dresses good for a person going out to explore and he has a cute pet called Munchie.
• V from V for Vendetta: Why he looks good in a Guy Fawkes suit complete with a Guy Fawkes mask is beyond my understanding, but his personality is strangely attracted to me, if I could side-stepped the explosions.

And that's all could think of. Comment me, if you think the attraction of the characters above mentioned are ridiculously bizzare to any girl's taste.

Quote of the moment - 'Throw in Matrix veteran James McTeigue's flat direction and you have a woeful, depressing failure.' - Jonathan Ross's review on V for Vendetta film over at Film 2006. Great comic, shame its creator, Alan Moore, disown it now that the film came out.

I'm a Depressed Teenager, Now Get Me in Uni ASAP!

I don't know what's been bothering today as I am writing in the School Library ICT Suite today, but lately, I've been depressed over the daunting coming few months that is known as the AS/A2 Levels exams. I know those are important for the future of going to uni, but it seems it's taking its toll now. It's just like the GCSE I did two years ago, where I felt I am going into overkill and felt that I can't take this anymore. But then, in the wise words of my now ex-physics teacher Mr. Martin, this is just only a game. And what's been depressing is the fact that school life is actually very stressful than being in uni.

Well, at least I've got my graphics teacher to cheer me up, when I'm not in such a good mood.

Quote of the moment - 'However, as long as it inherits the Kingdom Hearts title, it needs to have some connection in terms of storyline, so it won't be too distant from the other titles.' - Testuya Nomura-san talking about a possible 'not-really-a-direct-sequel-but-still-a-sequel-regardless-of-the-number' next Kingdom Hearts game after II.

No Common Sense

Stupid Hanh! Thinking that I am an idiot last night, she thinks my intelligence is as low as a monkey's bottom. However, she, herself, is an idiot too, because she always jumping to conclusion rather too quickly, without giving me some time to defend my action. The reason? The Granny Smith Apple Debate. Some years ago, I used to like them as a child, but nowadays, I just felt that sour taste of the green apple wasn't that sour anymore and before I said to my mum about how I don't want to eat them anymore, Hanh just went outburst saying to me whether I said 'yes' or 'no', before calling me an idiot.

Stupid her! She didn't think about the timing of my thoughts and forgets that old proverb: 'Think before you leap'. Or think carefully about your sense, before performing the action. I think she went action first, then thoughts. And then after that, she said that I broke that Lenten promise. HELLO! I did NOT break that Lenten promise! Oh sure, I won't get really angry at her and be nice, but that doesn't mean I can insult softly to her and that includes her actions as well. *Sigh* I just wish she realises what she did was a complete misunderstanding last night and this was al her fault for jupming to conclusions too quickly, instead of me.

Quote of the moment - "Normal is a setting on the dryer; Shadow Hearts: From the New World is not, by any stretch of the definition, normal. " - Some rpgamer.com reviewer comments about Shadow Hearts 3. Now then, how about getting a UK release, then? COME ON KOEI/SQUARE ENIX/SONY/(insert other publishers apart from EA)! RELEASE IT!

RUN...For Charity!

Yestrday was the amazing day for me...running the 5K in Heaton Park all for Charity. Man, my legs are beginning to ache now!

And even today as I'm writing this bloomin' blog, they're still aching again! >_< It's like when I did Race for Life last year.

Well, it's time to go back to reality and doing my Lita from Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana costume and writing Nimbus Exploration (FFVII/KH crossover fanfiction that is AeriSeph) and possibly doing fanart, before going on to the exams. *sigh*

UK Young and Old Teenagers and Parents - Hang Your Head in Shame

GO AND BUY 'WE LOVE KATAMARI' NOW, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD/ALLAH/(INSERT ANOTHER NAMED GOD)!!!

Why on Earth you simple-minded people choose rubbish movie and TV licenses, sport titles and Need for Speed? Those games are actually boring and really put me off for ages! I mean that YOU need to cross the new world in video games genres. Even PS2 format magazines, like PSM2 and the Official UK Playstation 2 Magazine, called 'We Love Katamari' the best game with very high reviews. Of course it may have weird visuals and a strange J-Pop soundtrack, the gameplay isn't and the King of the Cosmos s actually such a hilarious character that made me smile! Even my little sister and I have fun in the Select Meadow, where instead of rolling some objects around, we chase each other, playing 'tig' or 'tag' and have such memories that made me smile. So here are my suggestions to you Teenagers and Parents:

1. Please, please, please! Stop buying Need for Speed Underground (insert number)! I had enough of EA (UK publisher of W.L.K) 's game in the UK charts for weeks! It's getting so boring now.
2. NO MORE 50 CENT BULLETPROOF AND GANSTA GAMES! Violence is not so cool any more.
3. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING A GAME THAT HAS PHOTO-REALISTIC GRAPHICS!!! Because parents, that will drain away your children's imagination.
4. Recommend your children/friends to buy We Love Katamari, even if they say they're not into it!

And that's it. Now go and convert mainstream people into one of the fans to the King of All Cosmos. NOW!

Quote of the moment - 'Naaaaaa-na-na-na-na-na-na, Katamari Damashi-i!' - Me singing a chorus of the Katamari Damacy theme tune.

Symantec = Evil Program that likes to block art

I hate Symantec in school. They've blocked deviantart.com, just because it has excessive amount of questionable words? What rubbish! I know offensive words, like f**k are blocked to keep little youngsters out of trouble, but to block something that you would like to put your artwork to the web is just riduculous. Devianart.com doesn't contain some 'questionable words', but I ever wondered, if Symantec are just a bunch of strict geeks who hate art in all forms and once I've put in, I've wondered if this evil program is going to block the freedom of speech?

And well done to the ministers back at Parliament for rejecting the Religious Hatred Bill. That'll show Tony Blair that freedom of speech is more important than just censoring them.



And here's my fanart piece that was supposed to submit to devianart.com, before Symantec decided that art will be restricted, though sadly Square Enix owns the characters above and this is actually the first time I used digital art, hence some improvements needed for my skills; a good first try on Corel Painter IX (demo version!).

Quote of the moment - "What? Someone just hacked my collection of the Aeriseph doujinshi (fan manga)?" - Me, if I ever had own one.

Proof that Silver-Haired People like Brunettes

Don't really ask me why, unless you're an Aeriseph (Aeris (Aerith)/Sephiroth) fan like me, but I've been making some theories as to why these two FFVII characters would be best for pairings, rather than Aeris/Cloud, Aeries/Rufus, Aeris/Reno, Aeris/Zack and other Aeris/(insert male FFVII character):

1. If you played the original PSOne game before, you would have noticed that Aeris only treated Cloud as just a brother to him, giving advice on some parts than getting romantically involved.
2. Aeris and Zack are just friends to each other, so that might be a reason why he never flirted with her: just talking to each other.
3. Tseng and Aeris are only friends to each other, not pairings, why? Back when Rufus's dad was still alive, she is still a young child and he treated her as a little sister.
4. Rufus and Reno both have little interest into Aeris: The blonde bloke is only interested in other stuff besides her and Reno is just following orders, so what more can you expect?
5. Vincent, Barret and Cid have little love interest with, other than the fact they treated her as a friend. Enough said.
6. Tifa and Sephiroth pairing? Okay, that came out of nowhere, but sadly I think Tifa never liked him, since he killed her dad in the first place. And then there's the Yuffie and Sephiroth pairing: I'm sorry, but that ninja would never be with a guy that has just 'sliced' every one of the Wutanese soldiers.
7. Watch the credits at the end of FFVII: Advent Children and when at the end of the cast section, you should the names of Aeris and Sephiroth apparently there. Perhaps some of the Square Enix staff have a keen interest of Aeriseph.

And that's about it. So, what's next? Asking the director to make another prequel of how Aeris and her mother got involved in the Shinra labs, where young Sephiroth was apparently there in the scene or something.

My New Addiction - Sudoku

ARGH! Stupid British version of The Times in school! That sudoku is just as addictive as playing many hours of Tetris and now even the UK Catholic newspaper The Universe has added in another sudoku at the back of the page (imagine Pope Benedict XVI playing sudoku in his spare time)! Has the world gone for sudoku mad? Although I'm not really sure if Muslims, Jews, Hindus and other religious groups around the globe has been bitten by the sudoku bug. And now, even the manga industry went mad for sudoku too...this is just getting insane.

Well, I've gotta go now and have an early happy Chinese/Vietnamese New Year as I would say. (Gets off typing the keyboard and starts filling numbers in the Times sudoku (mild version), before curses herself mentally.)

Quote of the moment - '...she [Zella - original character] reached up and placed the flower crown upon his head...Sephiroth had never felt sillier in his life.' - Unspoken, an Aeriseph FFVII fanfiction written by mihoyonagi in Fanfiction.net. Go read it now...unless you're an Aeriseph fan.

Cutting the ties off from my mother

I hated her. I hated her ever since I was a child. It's just that I'm actually servevely cutting off the ties from her, since she came from a Vietnamese background.

The problem is, unlike her, the current generation of Vietnamese girls and women, like myself and my older sis, are that more are giving more freedom and have the right to express themselves. Even, if they do not want to become doctors or anything useful, like teachers, it's just that for the first time, I can do whatever I want for my future. My dad seems to be okay with the situation, but never with my mother.

Why? She never experienced what true freedom is like. She doesn't know many current generation Vietnamese girls want to have the same experience as the normal British people and enjoy life. Why the hell does she think I'm going to apply a job at a worthless supermarket with low minimum wage?!

SHE DOESN'T EVEN REALISES I HAVE A SMALL TALENT IN TERMS OF BEING CREATIVE AND APPLYING THAT TO THE CANVAS!!! And doing an art and design foundation course in uni is a good choice, but she never understands! That's why I hate the past Vietnamese women who were restricted in their entire life!

Call me a black sheep, Vietnamese and British girls and women, but wake up! Break away the old society of Vietnamese life and explore the unknown, where your undiscovered talent will unlock yourself and be happy. Stand up to your Vietnamese mothers and tell them that you're not like them!

I've just discovered that the current generation ones are being oppressed, because of thier great talents, so I'm standing up and I'm telling my mother that their old ways of raising the children is too old for the society today and break the boundaries that surround and for once, reaching their favourite dream.

Quote of the moment - "That's a nice way to visualise a peeling banana!" - Some interviewer from Staffordshire University

Another Religious Rant

Yes, that's what the title above says, but I'm getting shocked that according to the Comment over at Wednesday's Guardian, Muslims today hate Jews, even they said that the Holocaust was just a hoax.

As a Catholic person, I find that very sickening and morally wrong that some Islamic countries just shut down Hitler's torture to the Jews. And I can say only one comment to them:

'HELLO! Muslims, especially living in Islamic countries, get over it and stop hating the Jews!'

The Jews suffered more damage in history than your people ages ago. I mean, if Hitler is still alive, would he torture the same people as you are (if you are a Muslim)?

World War II must be accepted to all Muslims as a history they cannot forget, because even Hitler suffered some Catholics as well, not forgetting Pope Benedict XVI (German) left the Nazi party, as he was forced to be in the army. Not just the Jews.

So, in conclusion, if Christian people forgave the Jews and thte Jews forgave the Christians, why not do the same to Muslims forgiving Jews? And I don't mean suiciding yourselves to kill people and proclaim it as 'jihad'.

History is important to everyone and we must not forget the people, especially those who suffered in the Holocaust and one day, we can find peace in the future, without resorting to violence.

Oh, and if you want to read the comment, just click here.

Quote of the moment: '... I get back from holiday and see 147 emails in my inbox...only three of them require an answer.' - Tim Dowling talking about Spam (no, not the compressed meat). From 'Is It Just Me Or Is Everything S**t?

The Vatican is going to ex-communicate me.

After reading yesterday Metro's regarding Pope Benedict XVI's 'comment' that g a y priests should be banned, I find it ridiculous and alienating the minority more than buddhists and Protestants.

Regarding that I'm actually Catholic, I just don't like the way the current Pope is commenting about them. I mean, he says that all people should communicate with each other, regardless of religion, race and relationships, why should he be abusing homos e x u a l people? Is he really a homophobic?

What's next, the Pope banning young Catholic teenage girls writing shounen-ai (Boy's Love) fanfiction or drawing shounen-ai fanart? I wish the late Pope John Paul II could sort this mess out. Sheesh, I feel like I'm being manipulated by the Church, where the freedom of expression, words and the right to crictise have been banned and turning into more communist than North Korea. I'm starting to really worry about the Church's future.

D a m n me, Ratzinger lovers and Catholic extremist people, but let me warn you that times are changing; people are more aware that we need to find the real truth and I found out that we do make mistakes as humans; that INCLUDES the Pope and not even every religion has the ultimate meaning of life.

Quote of the moment - 'Urm...' - me.

It's Official. I'm the only Jin Uzuki Fangirl

Gah! This is just like the same thing as the only Sho fangirl (and if you don't know who the heck he is, go to the below after this blog entry) in the whole universe! After playing a bit, well a lot of Xenosaga II, I love Shion's older brother as:

1. Not only his good taste of colour and fashion (well, I love blokes wearing a Japanese robe for some time)
2. But also his personality and the fact he changes job from a soldier to a doctor to a bookseller just makes me laugh and not putting off from the other characters that a) are a bit annoying b) look too young and c) really popular with the Xenosaga fangirls.

And was shocked and angry that there wasn't a Jin Uzuki fanlisting and the Uzuki siblings in sight and a shrine dedicated to him just wants to make me run rampaging the Xeno fans! So I urge any female (and male) Jin Uzuki fan to:

1. Make a Jin Uzuki fanlisting and a Uzuki siblings fanlistings ASAP so that I can support the charming swordsman of the star cluster.
2. Get me a a link of the Jin Uzuki shrine, so that I can post fanarts of him.

Thank you for your attention to bring him into the Internet!
