Reading and Incoming Holidays

Lately, I've been strangely obsessed with reading and Yu Wo, which is not that strange, since I'd just finished [what it has so far of] No Hero.

I went through the publishing company of No Hero and the Legend of Sun Knight and listed all the other works by Yu Wo... and I am planning on asking my father to buy them for me and sending them over!! XD

And it's going to be school holidays really soon, too!
[Err, but before that maybe I should focused on my assignments... =.="]

...I just reminded myself of a bad thing. :/
I now have mixed feelings towards this particular school holiday. One part I'm glad that I don't have to do assignments or schoolwork anymore (I've turned into a bad kid... T^T), and that I'll have lots of free time, and I'll also be able to sleep lots!
Yet at the same time it marks the "middle of the year", which means that the end of the year is coming soon. ...everything I see and hear, I seem to be able to make it negative. ==" School holidays also means that the restaurant will get busier, and I'll start working 7 days a week again.
And I hope I'll be able to cram in extra studying, but I doubt it from the bottom of my heart. Oh, wait, but if it's Japanese, I think I can do it!! XD But if it's another subject, then I don't think so... :/

A Good Author... Will Always Be A Good Author, I Guess

So… good!

What I said before was a lie! No Hero is so, so good!!! ><

[Even if all the action is making my head spin a little…]

The introduction part was just ultra long, and the action only picked up near the end of the book… it seriously did take a long time. But since I have the whole series so far with me, and since it’s by Yu Wo, I decided to just keep reading, in case it hopefully gets better.

It finally does… and it just happened to be not long from where I’d stopped reading last time. [But that’s almost two third into the book!!] Which sort of annoyed me, but meh.

I’ve read up to Volume 6, and that’s all that is published at the moment… and I’m dying, just like when I had to wait almost 6 months for the last volume of The Legend of Sun Knight to be translated into Thai. T^T

Now maybe I should collect Half Prince, but it’s quite old, so it’s probably not in the bookstore anymore… haahhhh.

Ah, I’m so glad Thailand is so rich in his department. :3

Good thing it’s my only interest… [which I should not have… as in, I shouldn't have any sort of interest... ==]

Blah Blah Blaaaaahh - Written Yesterday, Posted Today...

Goodness, this is so weird.

I never knew crying (?) uses up so much energy. I cried after school today, and at work I felt like I could drop dead!

Well, I think it was because I was crying but I’m not quite sure whether that’s the cause.

Hah! Do you want to know why I’d cried!? >.>

I finally finished a Taiwanese Light Novel series called The Legend of Sun Knight, and the pre-climax of the last volume was so, so sad!! Well, okay, it wasn’t “so, so” sad, but it was sad enough to make me cry!! (And my eyes are so tired!)

This series so just ultimately awesome. I’m really attached to the characters, especially the main character, so the fact that I’ve finished the series saddens me a little as well. But, I guess I’ll just continue to read Yu Wo’s other works! Because so far all the ones I’ve read by her are awesome!

They all contain some form of comedy – The Legend of Sun Knight makes me cracks up laughing! (But it also makes me cry, because Grisia is… how he is). Half Prince was also hilarious, and No Hero... I'm blaming the translator!!


Yes, I'm going to blame the translator with the fact that No Hero somehow isn't as interesting as Yu Wo's other works - it's the translator's fault!
Because the content is clearly interesting, yet I keep finding myself putting the book down! And also because Yu Wo's writing style is slightly different than to what I'm used to, especially if I compare it to The Legend of Sun Knight, or the English version of Half Prince. (but then again, the main characters have totally different personalities...)
Damn you, translator!

A Coin Standing on its Edge, Teetering

It's so strange, yesterday I was in the worst mood possible, since I made a [somewhat] drastic mistake at work. :3
The mistake was still in my mind when I woke up, and it is still in my mind right now, but I didn't feel as depressed about it as I did last night, going so far as to write a will/dying note. :P (which I didn't get to finish yet)

My attention was pulled away from it by a certain book that is just so awesome. It's a Taiwanese Light Novel by Yu Wo - two of her works has already been published as manhuas as well, and those two are my favourites!; 1/2 Prince and The Legend of Sun Knight!! :D

They are so hilarious; you can read [some of] the light novel translations here or here. (do beware the name differences)
Currently, both 1/2 Prince and The Legend of Sun Knight hasn't been fully translated online yet. But I have the whole The Legend of Sun Knight Light Novels in my possession, ahahaha! (If readers who are desperate wants to see what happen, I may be convinced enough to write up a detailed summary. :3)
Translating them won't work, because they come out sounding not as smooth > although I think I should practice my translating skills, lol...

Anyhow, today's title is a little more poetic than usual...
A coin being a metaphor of my mind - it's not that complicated. One side of the coin is the depressed side, and the other side is the happy side, lol. :P

Anyhow, I wanted to make a blog post.

But all of my drafts contains some sort of depression, however at the moment I don't feel like purposefully making myself depressed. Because I should indulge in a good mood when it's here - I'll turn into a bad mood at work anyway, because some of the waitresses' face just somehow annoys me. :P

I was in such a bad mood yesterday, too...

I guess it sometimes ring true, this "you should speak to someone" advice.
But the last time I talked to someone about my depression, it only made me more pissed - I think it's just because the other person only said stuff like, "why are you so depressed?", "what made you so?", "you shouldn't worry/think so much/be so hard on yourself, etc.", "you have to talk to someone!" and other annoying sentences.
They don't really understand - or rather, to me, it feels like they're not trying to understand at all, and I feel like they're only thinking about the top - the front of the problem, but this is something that needs to be fixed from the very core of it - if I continue thinking so negatively, then the outcome will continue to be the same.
Hah, I shouldn't be saying all this - it's making myself look stupid.
Anyhow, the reason I brought the "you should speak to someone" advice - I talked to someone, but it wasn't exactly about depression, and it just put me in a good mood. Since my friends make me so irritated so easily, I barely have nice, happy conversations with them anymore.
Plus, this person I talked to is, umm... on the same wavelength as I? His own words. :3
Pretty much, unlike my friends who are pure optimists (hah, so of course I'd be pissed at them ><), he... umm... understands?
No, I hate using this word!! It sounds so cheesy!!!!

Yes, so let's just drop that subject! (and I was the on who brought it upon myself... ==")

But now it's time I get ready for work. T^T

Later!

Death Note: Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases

I am currently three fourth through this book.

There are some hilarious bits in there, I'm telling you.
However the third murder creeped me out; more easily so because I am alone in my house... and the sun has already moved on... no, that's not right - this part of the globe had spun away from it.
I mean, seriously. It had me visualise a certain scene that scared me a little - a corpse lying on its back in a middle of a room full of stuffed animals (plus two voodoo dolls) with its left arm and right leg completely cut off from its body - the leg was dumped into the bathroom of the house, and the arm was taken away by the murderer, namely Beyond Birthday.
It would've been totally fine if it was still daylight, however it is not. And I am alone. :) In the house, anyhow.

Most of the funny scenes involves L in some way - you know how he is!

Also, Mello does a fine job at narrating the story! Although I wonder when the heck he wrote this thing... it must've been after the Kira case, after L died, but it must also be after Mello died, but the narrator is Melllo! And Mello is saying that Kira should read this, and that he might be the second to read it after Near does... which means that Light is still alive. But what make the least sense is that Mello had talked about his own death!
...it really makes no sense. Who knows, maybe all will be revealed at the end... :3

Anyhow, it's a good book, I guess.

The humour is nice. :3 I like humour.

Reading about L bring tears to my eyes.... :P

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun: Misaka... You Are More Than a Little Cool

I just read the newest chapter of the manga. :3

It is EPIC, mind you...

Someone is picking on Misaka Mikoto, our very awesome main character.
I know most of you probably haven't read this, but I feel the need to say something about it, because the tension in the storyline if extremely high at the moment, if not into outer space. :3

There's this new antagonist that just appeared who goes to the same school as Misaka. <3
She has the ability to brainwash people!! 8D
Of course, that's not good, but....

Anyone who has yet to read To Aru Kagaku no Railgun or To Aru Majutsu no Index should try them out, just for the sake of it. :) It's got quite a few different versions...
The very original and main version of this verse or series is the To Aru Majutsu no Index Light Novels. There are also several Side Stories. There's an ongoing manga, and To Aru Majutsu no Index has two anime seasons, I think. Well, it has at least one... And a couple OVAs as well.
Then there's To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, the spin-off of the original To Aru Majutsu no Index, basing the story on a different character. And I like this other character, namely Misaka Mikoto. I happen to not really like the main characters in the original story and dropped it a while back, but am thinking of watching the anime... Anyway, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun has two anime seasons, plus two OVAs, I think.
