Uninspired

Blogging is a bit of a pain for me right now. I can't think of anything to blog about. It may be the thick tension going through our (freakishly) humid room or my brain being fried from reading too many fanfictions today. Despite that, the show must go on.

I haven't been posting lately. That is a fact. My time was being occupied a little too much for me to blog about anything. I'm actually over the VOCALOID02 phase and I am currently obsessed with BLEACH. I've learned a lot about it already in my time but I've never bothered to watch it. Now, I am starting to watch it from the beginning. I admit that it's hard since there are more than one hundred episodes and I'm just at 31. Even if that's the case, I am determined to catch up (to the extreme)! I'm also loving Katekyo Hitman Reborn! at the moment.


So, I just noticed that I see people's mistakes more than I'm able to point out their good points. I'd be a good editor, right? I'm not really good at writing articles. It's has its pros and cons. Usually, when you're able to point out people's mistakes effectively, you'd make a good coach. On the other hand, you would possibly discourage your pupil if you keep pointing out the mistakes and not what they did right. That is why I'm not very good with encouraging my friends. My dad is good at twisting people's words and finding the hidden meaning in them (when there wasn't really a hidden meaning). And all the hidden meanings are, to put it mildly, negative. Perhaps I've gotten that trait from him. Although, my mom says dad is optimistic. Mom says she is pessimistic. So, either way, I am probably going to be pessimistic one way or another.

When people ask you about something, do you get the urge to tell them to "look it up"? Sometimes, I do. Seriously, would it hurt to think of keywords every once in a while? Anyway, I'm trying to rid myself of that trait because I don't enjoy people telling me to "look it up". When I demand ask for help, I expect they'll be able to help me. Besides, if I thought they couldn't, why would I ask them in the first place? In all honesty, I can tell if people just don't want to share their knowledge with me because I don't like sharing my knowledge either. (Apply the saying "takes one to know one", if you will.) I'm trying to rid of that trait as well. My knowledge wasn't given to me to bury underground for no one else to know about. Plus, it feels nice to know you actually helped someone learn something new today. Of course, that's just me. It's just that I like to put myself in other people's shoes and see how it feels when I refuse to help them.

To finish this short post off, I'd like to mention something. There's this Internet phenomenon I've learned about the other day. It's called "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" or, simply, AYBABTU. It's a line from the introduction of a poorly translated Japanese video game called Zero Wing. I'll admit that I was laughing when I first learned about this but it made me realize how translations have progressed and improved through the years. Also, it's a meme that's not being recognized as much as it was in 2001. I just wish that it could be more popular in our time now. (And, to show my appreciation for this Internet meme, I've memorized the whole dialogue of Zero Wing's introduction.)

I guess that's all. Thanks for reading. :)
