Living my ways of what's best in a matter of fantasy and reality. Hoping to be free from all troubles and live the fullest without regrets. Keeping pace of every move I did. A mistake to not repeat, a luck to earn and receive; ways through life whether it's grave or not. Searching through answers to unattended questions, receiving ideas and comments to help improve and earn wisdom to pass to others. Anything else is just a matter of time. whether I have it or not depends the mood. Being lazy is one matter. Being tired is another. But at most, I like to take my time.

Look Out! - Upcoming Updates

I have decided... For this coming month there won't be any updates or whatsoeveer...
Because of what I'm going to do is trying to create a new theme for this page in the coming new year so watch out~ since making it is done manually.

There'll be some practice runs from time to time, but don't worry I'll still be here... and soon my blog will be up and running again~

The reason for me doing this is to learn and expand what I can do... which is part of the fun... So ya until my next big implementation...~

EDIT 1: Well, So far so good~ :D. I removed some widgets I don't need. Soon I'll be adding new links and pics, etc. once everything is adjusted.

Dieting Info #1 - The one thing you do before going on a diet

Although I am planning to go on a diet, one thing I should do before is to at least dine-in some of my favourite dishes before I do. *smiles*

So let me introduce you the first dish~ TAPSILOG



[Obtained from Wikipedia]
Tapsilog is the term used when tapa, fried rice ("sinangag"), and fried egg ("itlog") are combined into one meal, which is served primarily during breakfast. In Tagalog, a restaurant that primarily serves tapa is called a tapahan, tapsihan or tapsilugan. According to some sources, "tapsilog"[1] and "tapsihan"[2] are slang words. However, these terms are used by those restaurants and many Filipinos of all social strata. Tapsilog and tapsihan, therefore, may be considered standard words in the Filipino language and not slang.

The word tapsilog has spawned many other dishes, all having fried rice (or garlic fried rice) and fried egg in it and suffixed with silog. Examples are:

* Daingsilog - Daing, fried rice and fried egg
* Adosilog - adobo, fried rice and fried egg
* Bacsilog - bacon, fried rice and fried egg
* Bangsilog - bangus (milkfish), fried rice and fried egg
* Bisteksilog - beefsteak, fried rice and fried egg
* Dangsilog - danggit (rabbitfish) , fried rice and fried egg
* Vicsilog - Vic (chinless hogfish), fried rice and hard cooked egg yolks
* Chosilog - chorizo, fried rice and fried egg
* Chiksilog - chicken, fried rice and fried egg
* Cornsilog - corned beef, fried rice and fried egg
* Hotsilog - hotdog, fried rice and fried egg
* Longsilog - longganisa, fried rice and fried egg
* Litsilog - lechon, fried rice and fried egg
* Masilog - Ma Ling brand Chinese luncheon meat, fried rice and fried egg
* SPAMsilog - SPAM brand luncheon meat, fried rice and fried egg
* Tosilog - tocino, fried rice and fried egg
* Pakaplog - Pan de sal (bread), kape (coffee) and fried egg

Place where you can taste good Tapsilog in Brunei ~Exellent Taste (E.T) Restaurant

And the second dish~ TAKOYAKI



[Obtained from Wikipedia]
Takoyaki (たこ焼き or 蛸焼, Takoyaki?) (literally fried or baked octopus) is a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, konnyaku, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (aonori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings), originating from Osaka. There is a similarly named dish called ikayaki but it is a broiled whole squid and bears no resemblance. "Yaki" is derived from "yaku" (焼く, "yaku"?) which simply means "to bake or grill" in Japanese, and can be found in the names of other Japanese cuisine items such as teriyaki or sukiyaki.

Place where you can taste Takoyaki in Brunei ~ Gadong Mall, Hua Ho Mall

Are your mouth watering yet? *slurp* :D~~~~~~~~

Nobody knows where they came from or what their ultimate agenda is, but the fact remains that their attacks drove people out of their towns and cities. In order to take arms against them, humanity develops a new anti-Neuroi weapon called the "Striker Unit." Using the power of magic to fight against the monsters, this new device enhances and amplifies the power of female magic-wielders.

My Review
I like the opening song. The anime is unique but got a kind of dark side. One of the anime that has wierd mixed genres put in altogether. And sadly, there's only 12 episodes. Haven't watched the OVA yet. And yet the story is so-so that it has a school-life feeling. If anyone's interested in a group of girls that transformed when mounted on magical mechas and interested in pantsu. This anime might be just for you.

Bento Anyone?


Kawaii Bentos


If receiving a home-made cooking from the person you love really moves you, then a home-made bento from the person I love can really get me moved. Another dream that I hope could get realized...

Bentō (弁当 or べんとう, Bentō?) is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine. A traditional bento consists of rice, fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables as a side dish. Containers range from disposable mass produced to hand crafted lacquerware. Although bento is readily available in many places throughout Japan, including convenience stores, bento shops (弁当屋, bentō-ya?), train stations, and department stores, it is still common for Japanese homemakers to spend considerable time and energy producing an appealing boxed lunch.

Bento can be very elaborately arranged. Contests are often held where homemakers can compete for the most aesthetically pleasing arrangements. The food is often decorated to look like people, animals, or characters and items such as flowers and plants. This style of elaborate bento is called kyaraben.

~Obtained from Wikipedia.org - Bento

Info~ Not really

Just so you know, I feel like remaking the layout over n over again...
I'm going to remove the music player this time. Because it's kinda annoying hearing the same music over again.

I'm gonna add in a few things but I'm still keeping the three columns layout...maybe i'll add another column...It's still in progress though... maybe I'll also add in a new title name... XD

Hanging Out! OR~

I'm not yet down and out just yet... So don't think you can skip out on me.
*Grr* *Grr*

People of all ages, today I present to you a few news. (Though I could've posted those a few days earlier but my mood to post wasn't there.

Hanging Out! Moety's Day!

Yupz. Yesterday at November 5, around the time I was going home to work. My phone rang one of the wierdest ringtone I've ever heard, which always startled me every time. lol.
I looked at my phone~ '1 unread message recieved'
*doki* *doki*

I read the message.

*doki* *doki*

Inside... It's says:

*doki!*


From Moety: Salam. Want to hang out later @ the Mall?

I replied: Whatever~ I was bored anyway at home. :) Anything special today?

Moety: Nope. Just the usual cuz I'm also bored. I'll pick you up later, okay?


And I just go with the flow.~*

Note: Coincidence could happen. Because since the morning that day I was browsing through my e-mail and I got a certain reminder for that certain individual. Curiousity and uncertainty makes me go with the flow.

We picked up Husni along the way and that's when it started:

Husni: Moety! Happy Birthday!

Moety in laugh embarrassed by what he said.

Moety: Thank you! Thank you!


LoL! Now the pieces are connected!

And so we hang out at the Mall Gadong. We talked about what we wanted to talk and hang out while eating pizza. Time flew by as it's nearly late ~ not really ~ just tired.

Busy + Lazy + Accident News

Lately, I've been busy here and there and also I've been lazy or not in a mood to do anything.

I'll be posting more news from my work later on but for now I wanted to report some news regarding yesterday's accidents that had happened.

The first accident occured around in the morning, on my way to work. The accident took place close to the old Tiong Hin Electrical Store, Jalan Muara.

The second accident occured in the same morning, also on my way to work. The accident took place at the Hassanal Bolkiah Highway close to the airport.

The third and last accident of the day happened when I was returning home from work. The accident took place was also at the Hassanal Bolkiah Highway. This accident was more a sight than the first two.

Anime Review # 6 - Lucky Star + More Cute Miku Video

Opening of the Anime Lucky Star starring Miku Hatsume.

Lucky Star



From ANN:~

Portrays the lives of several school girls attending a Japanese high school with a very loose humor tone. The main heroine is Konata Izumi, an athletic and intelligent girl who, despite these attributes, is not in a sports club, and her grades remain low. Her laziness at school is due to her love for anime and video games, and she is not interested in much else.

Genres: School Life, Comedy
Total Episodes: 24 + OVA

My comments:~
This anime is ~ cute. I watched this anime because it is related to another anime - The Melanchony of Suzumiya Haruhi. It is converted in Anime based from just the 4-panel manga which is quite amazing from its differences.

And also because of the increases of viewers towards this anime is due to its good openings. (Play the video. It's a bit different but the dancing moves are similar.)

My ratings for this anime, I would give an 8.5/10.

Miku Clock + Vocaloid2


Miku Hatsume and another Vocaloid2 character cosplayer

As some of you already notice, I added a cute Miku clock on the left sidebar.
She tells time in Japanese when you click on her and she sings too if you click onto the music note.
I happened t stumble upon it while browsing some of my favourite sites.

If any of you who don't know who Miku is~ let me tell you about her then.

Miku, as in Miku Hatsume or Hatsume Miku, is a virtual singer. A part in the music and another part as an anime character.
She's a virtual singer for the a certain software called Vocaloid2.

Vocaloid2 is a musics + lyrics software where you can adjust vocals voices of Miku to make her sing any lyrics you made for her.

I don't know how this software works yet as I just started trying to use it.

The downside about Vocaloid2 is that it's in Japanese so it'll be kinda hard. LoL
There's also Vocaloid1 which is in English but Vocaloid2 has Miku. Hehehe.

I'll tell more if I've adjusted on it. ^^
If you're more curious how it works, just google it.

Anime Review #5 - Shugo Chara

*Ahem*

From AniDB ~

Shugo Chara! (Season 1)



Based on a shoujo manga by PEACH-PIT, serialised in Nakayoshi.

Everybody at Seiyo Elementary thinks that stylish and super cool Hinamori Amu has it all: But nobody knows the real Amu, a shy girl who wishes she had the courage to truly be herself. Changing Amu’s life is going to take more than wishes and dreams–it’s going to take a little magic! One morning, Amu finds a surprise in her bed: three strange little eggs. Each egg contains a Guardian Character, an angel-like being who can give her the power to be someone new. With the help of her Guardian Characters, Amu is about to discover that her true self is even more amazing than she ever dreamed.

Shugo Chara!! Doki (Season 2)



Also continues to go on as just Shugo Chara 52, 53, and etc. This is a direct sequel to the first series. Amu and everyone continue to find the embryo, the egg of wishes.
This is a continuation of the first season of Shugo Chara where Amu and everyone else of the Guardians are still trying to acquire the Embryo Egg.

My Review~

Genres: Magical Girl, Comedy, Shoujo, School Life, Transformation
Total Episodes: Season 1 - 51 episodes, Season 2 - 6 episodes released

Comment: Unlike any other magical girl anime series I've seen, this anime really puts itself as part of my favourites animes. The story has some unique storylines that makes the viewers wanted to watch more. This anime is quite new as it's still ongoing and one of the anime that have more than 50 episodes. My rank for this anime is 9.8/10.

This anime is recommended to those who like either cuteness, magician girl, comedy, good storylines or unique characteristics.

I'm gonna see if there's any manga about it. ^^

Anime Review - Today In Class 5-2

Today In Class 5-2

Genre: School Life, Comedy, Teen Viewers
Total episodes: 4 + 1 Special

The story's about the school life of a few individual students where the stories always connected to the main character named Ryouta. A few perverted-comedy scenes but nothing too extreme (That's why I list the genre as for teen-viewers). There's also a few romantic scenes as well. If this anime is shown longer then I would've added romance and drama as part of the genre. But comedy wins hands-down. In the end, I had fun watching ^^.Recommended to those who are interested in a few laughs.

Here's a few screenies :~



A few pictures:~


Btw, the banner that's on the top-right of my blog is part of the anime too. ^^
Later, untl next time.
