Birthday

So today is my birthday, I was able to cut down on amount of presents/celebration; like the evil being I am apparently. An acquaintance that I call "Sailor Moon", because he is really girly but I can't call him princess, I somehow got him to believe it was 20 days prior today, about two weeks ago. Princess didn't get me anything, since I am normal with her, so it's hard for her to buy anything. Crazy got me some things, apparently she got them before the fire...and I tried so hard to make sure she got me nothing. We went to Medieval Times again, since we didn't go on Princess's birthday, like we said we would last year...so I decided to mess with Crazy; since Crazy said to go out with a bang. Instead of me getting knighted for my birthday, I had Princess get knighted. While Crazy was not looking Princess and I were looking at the knives, daggers, and swords, and pointed out the $18 dagger that I actually liked. I sat next to a really interesting woman, she was a nice, and funny elderly woman, and loads of fun to sit next to. Our knight this time was the red and yellow one, so we were on the opposite side of last time, and in the middle; sadly, our knight did not win, or get many flowers, but our side did win (the blue knight), and the red knight from the other side did give Princess a flower. The piece of chicken was twice the size from last time; last time it was only the thigh, this time it was half of a chicken. Crazy forgot to give the waiter the birthday cake card, so we got no cake (poor Princess was looking forward to that). Medieval Times seemed pretty empty, I would say it was only half full, I was wondering if they might be having financial issues, but then I realized that today is a Sunday, and not many people go out on Sundays. I took a picture with our knight, and he signed my flag; I'm starting to think that maybe I should start a collection of flags signed by the knights.

I liked the game a lot at first, but than it just got out of hand on the whole "pay for this", "buy this", and over all money hungry....ads would pop up randomly. Now it's a lot better, the ads don't pop up as often, less pay for and buying madness, with the more of an ability to gain free gems.
Some of the charcters seem oddly familiar...though I could have swore I saw Harry Potter at some point...

Some candies transform the customers while others cause animation....The lemon pucker not only causes a transformation, but also has a slight animation at first. The game views blueberry burst as a trasformation candy, even though it is most like an animation candy.



From left to right the candies that cause the transformations:dark chocolate devil imp, pencil pops, lemon pucker, and smarty treats

 

AP European Notes

So I have finally got some time to type up all of my notes. I decided to start with my AP European History notes, since it had the smallest notebook I could start with before moving onto binders. As I was typing up the notes, and toward the end I finally noticed another reason I failed the exam, yet passed the class. The teacher only focused on the format and not the content, and essentially only 10-15 minutes to write an FRQ, hence why content didn't matter. All the practice FRQs were all for not, since we couldn't really practice...I can't really type up that part of the notebook, since there are so many incomplete things, with a terrible format...So I move onto the binder, and hopefully the notes make more sense.

Now You See Me

Description:
An FBI agent and an Interpol detective track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money.
                                                    
The movie was great; I wanted to see this movie so badly for some time. The ending is pretty good, though it still leaves many questions. I like how they explained majority of all the illusions. The plot twist at the end was good.

Bubble Tap Tap

Description:
Most of people love soap bubbles. If you are one of them, the game is for you. Just burst bubbles as fast as you can and compete with players around the world for top score.

☛ Attractive sound effect

☛ Extra score for combo
☛ Multi-touch supported

It's just not the same as actual bubbles....Not all that fun to play, and no one to really compete against.

Goong

Description:
Monarchy ended long ago in Korea, but there are still other countries with Kings, Queens, princes and princesses. What if Korea had continued monarchism? What if all the beautiful palaces which are now only historical relics were actually filled with people?! What if the glamorous royal family still maintained the palace customs?! Welcome to a world where Korea still has the royal family living their lives! Only for this one high school girl, Che-Kyung, this is a tragedy, since she has to marry the prince who apparently is a total bastard!
                                                    
The Manhaw went through so many different translation groups; some were bad, terrible, good, and great. Sometimes the manhaw was barely translated, empty speech bubbles, a random visible chunk of Korean text still in the translated bubble, or sometimes they would place future chapters before they were supposed to. The art is not all to amazing, I never knew a chibi couldn't be adorable. The plot is really good, lots of twists and turns. Wait, there is a drama of this?!?! -adds to list of things to watch- And I still like Yul best -///-

Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted

Description:
Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple. Their journey takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, which they reinvent - Madagascar style.
                                                               
The movie was great, I loved it....maybe even more than the original, hmm...The visuals were just amazing and spectacular. I feel sad that Marty hasn't found anyone, while it seems that the rest of the group finds somebody; I mean come on even Julien found someone to love. Half of the problems solved with hair conditioner -.- .....Some references make little to no sense, unless one is to look into it ( such as when Captain DuBois sings  "Non, je ne regrette rien" to her henchmen).

Ayakashi

Description:
As a ghost agent, players try to come to grips with the mysterious events occurring around them. These events are being triggered by legendary creatures with enigmatic power beyond comprehension. Players must attempt to gain control of ghosts and bring them under their power, changing them to a demon. Throughout the rich story line, players must battle against scores of ghosts as well as rival agents.
The game boasts gorgeous demons from all over the world, emanating from three distinct origins – Phantom, Divina, and Anima. Drawing the player deep into the game, they must fight through spectacular battles to collect them all and complete the Demon Scroll.
【Negotiate with ghosts to add them to your demon collection】
As a ghost agent, the player has the chance to recruit ghosts to serve them as a demon after they have been defeated. The negotiation is not guaranteed to go well, and there is a chance the ghost will reject the offer so the player may have to rely on luck.
【Enhance demons】
                                                                  
I play the game off and on, it's not too interesting; I keep thinking that maybe I should sell my account... The game is a fantasy card game, there is no trading of cards, the first card based game app that has no trading as far as I know of. There is no evolving cards; though some 'transmute', which is another form of the card, but is achieved through enhancement. Negotiations with ghost is essentially impossible after the first one, unless you basically buy the card. The realms don't make much sense...this is a ghost guild with ghost agents, why are there divine cards, I don't count gods/goddesses as dead....the anima realm is just weird, anima are supposed to be items that take on a personality idea, and then next thing I know there is an anima for shaved ice (which is the first time they used the idea of food is an item that is around long enough to create a personality), and an anima that embodies an idea 'monochrome joan', ideas are not items. It is impossible to complete the demon scroll, which is the main goal of the game as stated in the description, because a player would have to be playing from the beginning, and spending money to get all of the cards (limited edition, ranking, rare cards). Without trading the game is essentially impossible to complete.

DIY t-shirts

So I decided to finally use my print transfers on some random t-shirts, there are a total of three shirts.

The first one was placed on backwards, and got ironed on the wrong side....Why? Because we listened to the directions word for bloody word, if we didn't, the shirt would have been fine...

The second one, just didn't seem to work....

And I am still working on the third one, and so far it seems as if the third time is the charm. -fingers crossed- Instead of a picture transfer it will be a bleaching design.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa

Description:
The animals try to fly back to New York City, but crash-land on an African wildlife refuge, where Alex is reunited with his parents.
                                                           
The beginning was a bit confusing at first, and doesn't fit in completely. Granny was a bit over used, and honestly I don't think that she is a normal human....Just like the original movie, it splits up into multiple concurrent subplots. Had no idea that love would conjure the boundaries of species and living beings. This movie was not as great as the original.

Issues

Having some technical issues with the header...I blame Yoh for being lazy, and to helping solve the problem....Yes, I am blaming the new background
Update: I can't seem to fix it...so hopefully it fixes itself..... -pout-

New background

So I realized I haven't changed the background on here yet, and that it is September (the awesomist month ever.... okay so I am a little bias, since September is the month I was born). It is so hard to find a background that I like....and I can't find the one I originally wanted T^T...but I finally found something

Madagascar

Description:
Spoiled by their upbringing with no idea what wild life is really like, four animals from New York Central Zoo escape, unwittingly assisted by four absconding penguins, and find themselves in Madagascar, among a bunch of merry lemurs.
                                                              
I watched bits and pieces before; and finally got around to watching the whole movie. I liked the movie a lot; I don't have a favorite character, it's too hard to choose, since they are all funny in their own ways. Cannot wait to watch the other two movies, though very curious to see how they leave...

Funny at first, but after checking everything out it gets kind of dull. The ad that I saw, basically entailed other characters; which it does not have, sure we may get them later but it should not be advertised as being there now. It is hard to actually video it right, since the characters can't be moved/placed, layering, or change of size/volume. Contemplating getting rid of the app....
