The Will of Fire

Not sure if people noticed but I'm phasing in a new way of formatting my blogs. I think this way readers can make skim reading and navigation even more easier. Enjoy!


Pokemon X and Y

Holy crap I haven't been impressed/excited by a Pokemon game in a long time. What stands out is the fact that there pretty much isn't any 2D sprites both in battles or free roaming. Perhaps the only thing that could kill it for me is if the new Pokemon designs were crap like the ones in Black and White. That was pretty much the reason why I never opted for it. The starters look decent but not awesome. I actually have no idea who to start with, since they all look like viable choices (including grass muahaha). I'll probably cheat and see what they look like when they're fully evolved. However what caught my eye was the legendary Pokemon Yveltal (ee-vel-tall) which looks totally awesome. I like it much better than the other one Xerneas which looks like a deer. I'll definitely get Y version assuming that's where I can catch it. Here's the original artwork of the two.

Now that I think about it, it looks like a cross between Lugia and Groudon, my favourite legendaries in their respective versions.

Are those swords for feet?

Also here's my favourite fan artwork so far.

if the starters actually looked like this, I'd go for the water type.

Wednesday happenings

We were supposed to take class but we ended up discussing what songs we should do for the upcoming shows which is also good, hopefully we have time to make it look good by then. Song choices were set, I like them and I hope others like them too. Also tried watermelon Gatorade today. It didn't really taste like watermelon nor Gatorade. I swear it's like Mizone. Afterwards was dinner at Eating World. I don't think I/we have eaten there in a long time. It also feels like a long time since everyone (well everyone as it can get) were all together to have said dinner. It was nice having a dinner like that again.

Three people are heading to Melbourne for a week starting tomorrow/Thursday. I wish them safe journey and an enjoyable week. The purpose of trips like this is to have fun together, hopefully by the end they'd be a little sad that their trip is over haha.

The Crossover 2, and other things

I remember distinctly, when it was almost IJGK's time to perform on stage at Wesley, there were some of the kids who did kpop were telling each other that we were about to perform and that they really wanted to see it. Our performance wasn't the best, but by then I had realised that we had become something out of the ordinary.

Looking at it, we have something others don't, and I know some who would like to have something like we do. Kinda like how I would like to have peeps to mess around with videomaking with me. Not really that big of an epiphany but it does however give me new found motivation to work hard and not waste the time we have, and to do the best we can.

Recently heard about hate/criticism about us and what we do. I guess it's only fair since some of us (me included) are guilty of criticising other cover peoples who aren't great. But hopefully that's been happening less over time. If there are criticisms then good, we'll take it, and make ourselves better because of it. As for the second thing, I don't know why people would make a big deal out of it. It's not like this so called scene is going to grow bigger than theirs. People have their preferences and there should be a mutual respect for all. Real dancing or not, what happened to the freedom of doing what we love? 

Anyways rants aside, 2011 and 2012 were filled with a lot of shows, from awesome to downright random cough-chineserestaurant-cough. Regardless I've had a great time doing all of them. And I'm not afraid of what the future holds.


A quote from Naruto Shippuden

To those who posess the Will of Fire, everyone is family. It is the desire to protect which strengthens our bonds. If this will is embraced by everyone, the village will be alright, no matter what happens.

New Years Resolution time

Now that the new year is upon us, it is time for some resolutions to be made.

Resolutions:

Get more organised for study

The common resolution usually involves study or organisation, or both. It's always beneficial to be organised which makes things easier by the time exams hit. Hopefully this semester I'll have no trouble with it. Keep notes in check and take the time to sort them out. Maybe buy a folder or something. Spend at least an hour everyday after class at uni to go over the day's work. I mustn't be lazy and go straight home/city. It's hard to do work at home anyway.

Get more involved with other people and things

In other words get out there and try something new, with other people. There's opportunities to be found and they are best when you are not at home doing nothing.

More dance!

Dance is good for the soul. I also intend to help build on the dance scene here in Sydney, apparently we need it. Still working on popping, but I feel like I've made some progress, by that I mean leg hits, I can totally do them now haha. But I still need to work on them foundations. My aim is to do other muscles such as the stomach and chest because they're totally muscles, that can pop.

Learn new skills

It's always good to learn something new which can open doors for you. Maybe I'll look into HTML or something. Also skateboards are cool, just saying.

Make the bed every day

I don't normally take the time and effort to making my bed, usually I just make it look neat. But today I spent the effort doing it well, we're talking hospital folds up in this ****. It made me feel good every time I look at my bed. I guess it's a good discipline thing to do, and yeah there's always room for more discipline. Perfect for resolutions.

Bonds

Finally it's important not to forget those around you, the people who you've met and share bonds with. Even if they won't always be there for you, do your best to always be there for them. I also need to keep and strengthen a certain bond. My strongest one, the person I care about the most.
