finally got this up! okay, so it's really just an edited version of the previous bleach template. then again, the really pretty picture made me want a new template. and now there's snow falling too. see, if livejournal had allowed javascripts and stuff i would never have switched back to blogger. unfortunately i can't for the life of me figure out how to insert comments and stuff so i had to put in a cbox again.
anyhow, the picture at the top is from Bokura Ga Ita. i haven't actually watched the anime though; it just seemed like such a pretty picture so i had to use it as a base for the template. i might just watch it after i come back from taiwan, since i'll have so much time to. my to-watch list is ever-expanding, haha.

and while i was searching for base pictures for the template i came across this. it's from a japanese film -- Byousoku 5 Centimeters -- which basically means 5 centimeters per second and is supposed to be the speed at which sakura petals fall. i think it's worth watching if only for the art, because it really looks very very good. see for yourself if you need more proof.
...the feature film would attempt to present the real world from a different perspective. Makoto's film gives a realistic view of the struggles many face against: time, space, people, and love. The title 5 Centimeters Per Second comes from the speed at which cherry blossom petals fall, petals being a metaphorical representation of humans, reminiscent of the slowness of life and how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways.
oh, played gears of war 2 yesterday with py, chin, amos, km and ale. it's not a bad game i guess, just takes some getting used to. haha the worm level was really cool even though it was horribly squelchy and disgusting. and the cutscene after that where they chainsawed through the worm's body was really awesome in a really gross way. meh, don't think i'll get it though. i'm going to save my money for starcraft 2 and possibly mirror's edge, which i still think looks rather good despite all the less-than-rave reviews.
okay less than 2 days before i leave for taiwan the land of good food and more good food. i'm so sorry yimean, if you're waiting for the eoy pictures! i haven't gotten around to uploading the pictures from my camera yet, and i'm too lazy to do it now. haha sorry sorry, if you need them urgently sms me or something and i will go do it tonight. this year's eoy was kind of fun anyway. i think my favourite cosplayers were the counterstrike team. if i had the height and the build i would totally go as sam fisher from splinter cell, because he is just about the coolest secret spy agent i have ever ever seen.
speaking of splinter cell, i realise i've never really finished double agent because i got stuck at some level where it was so horribly difficult. eheheh okay i will go and pick up where i left off. actually, i think the only game i've ever really finished is assassin's creed. i'm still stuck somewhere halfway in games like gta4 and fable 2. hmmmm okay i should go finish them all up soon.
mmm alright shall get back to fiddling with the xbox then. hehehe i like the new template.
