Truth be said I AM feeling rusty. Not just feeling, I slowly rusting away. I had
the feeling that its beginning to deteriorate early this year but naaaaaah, I'm
not going to use that as an excuse for this time's review.
Yes, I realised that there are lots of errors. I edited some parts of the review
now and hopeful its not too obvious.
Thank you for the feedback, shoujoboy! I
will try to improve on my writing skills, and yeah, like they say "Watch
out for shoujoboy or jakulito!"
Why do you have to watch out for me? Sure, I might come in and say something
negative about a review, but so what? I'm like a dog with no teeth. Sure I can
bark a lot but it isn't as if I can bite you. I'm just a lowly member who can
come in a shake my cane at you, but not like I can do anything about it.

Happy Graduating! Am I
too early and too late? So how was your grade? Argghh, I'm still struggling to
submit assignments. Just the day before, a friend and I drove around the city
just to search for ONE DOG'S MAGAZINE and that alone just took us 2 hours and 30
minutes! After that we stopped by the waterfront to take some shots for our
urban detail assignments. Argh, my legs are killing me right now. Argh, the
pain~
Well... you're kinda early. My graduation's May 9th and my grades are all good.
No fails, *evil laughs*! Errr... what are you going to do on that magazine? Poor
Sofie... want me to massage your legs?

So that means it wouldn't be a problem if I wanna wanna Philippines to develop
anime industry for southeast Asia right? I think I see the light is shining
brightly in Southeast Asia now!
o_0 wanna what? well...
I guess it wouldn't be a problem.

Not a fan of the Gundams in Gundam Wing. Except Heavyarms and Wings Zero.
Deathscythe is nice too! I wanna redo the layout for my userpage, but have no
idea from where should I start from. *hangs head* Is beginning to hate that
tomato that is sticking annoyingly at the upper left side of the screen, lol.
Better change that tomato or I'll eat it like CRAZY! I guess
you better start from which character you like... or what theme would you want
your page to be like.
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHi
there, shoujoboy! It's me, in case you've forgotten my existence.
Anyway, I was just browsing about MT after being away for so long (and also
being abducted by college) and yeah, your name flashed through my mind. (most
probably because of your reviews that I love to read )
Putting that aside, how are you doing? Any interesting anime that you're going
to review? I hope there is!
Argh, before I forgot. *press 'stalk' button* I hope you don't mind. I'm really
looking forward to your reviews!
Wow, call this message unexpected. Just so you know, flattery will get you
EVERYWHERE! Your name isn't one I've forgotten per se, just haven't seen much
of. There are only a few names I see around this site that actually ring a bell
and yours is one of them. I really appreciate your support and I had no idea
there was someone out there that truly enjoyed my ramblings.
I hear you about the college thing. I got out of the military in December and am
looking at going back to finish my last two years of college here in August. I
know, I'm 24 and working on a degree... I'm behind. Cut me some slack. Hopefully
I'll still be able to dedicate myself to the things I love, but we'll see how
good I am at balancing.
As for reviews, I'm always looking for that next thing. I'm finishing up a
review on Sola and I've just gotten underway on Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru. It
never stops with me...
As for adding me as a friend, I certainly don't mind. Hopefully you won't mind
if I reciprocate that sentiment. Well, see you around.

That makes us equal then! Owh,
that will be very soon, it's coming ina few weeks time! Argh, envies! Anyway, I
wouldn't be able to rest, not until mid June. Sad, really. Studying is tiring.
Guess what? I'm excelling in Procrastination, lol!
Greece?! Did you just say Greece? OMG, thats awesome! Imagine what can you enjoy
over there! Hopefully you'll enjoy your trip to Greece. Send
in some pictures if you could, by the way. I'd love to see Greece.
Yeah, I'm from Malaysia. Eastern Malaysia to be precise. You're right, Malaysia
is in South East Asia. Nah,
it's okay. I don't do well in geography either.
hey...sorry for not replying for a while...I was very busy with school..like I
usually am
yeah,Greece is really cool,especially for a history freak like me...I love going
to places that have a famous historical meanings and stuff
how have you been lately?anything new happened...are you currently watching some
anime?
are you going to watch some anime coming out in the spring season?
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHeya
Akai! Sorry for not being able to chat longer the other day.
By the way, you had your hair cut? If I'm not mistaken you had long hair in your
friendster's pictures. And... you're up pretty early that day.. *touches chin*
By the way, what time is your lecture? I never get to ask you this question
before, right?
Nah... it's okay. I guess your class is going to start then and our variety
show, too. Yeah, I had my hair cut last January, hehehe! Dun have any pictures
on that time til on our oral defense. I don't have any lecture that day and
besides, we're already just waiting for our grades this sem and working out for
the graduation, hehehe!
Quote:
^_^' I cannot help but have cold sweat. Yeah, money matters. Darn. Yeap, I
remember you told me about Toei Studio in your country. But the Dragonball Z
wasn't in my memory though. SERIOUSLY?! That's soo COOL! So is there any other
anime that has been drawn in your country and finalised in Japan? Your country
seems like a really interesting place to visit, now that you've mention it.
Hehe.
Well... that's the only anime I remember but as far as I know, there are other
animes that have been drawn here and finalized in Japan. Philippines animation
industry is already in for 20 years+ now. And also, there are other studios that
make western cartoons for America. Filipinos are talented guys... :p

Nuoohh! It's RX-93 Nu Gundam! ARGGHH! The coolness of Nu Gundam! *ephie at the
verge of going insane* That's my favourite Gundam of all time! I'm going to love
you for loving Nu Gundam, lol!
Hahaha... yeah, I asked jakulito to make it for me for a long time. Nu
Gundam's the greatest, hehehe! Oh yeah... Nataku's my fave so it's only second
to the greatest, hehehe!
Quote by christabel92hey
Ephemeral-Garden-san....remember me?
how are you?anything new?
Hi there. Just call me Ephie. Sure
I remember you, it's been just for how many weeks since I last contacted you.
Wait, don't tell me I didn't reply your last message? Argh,
college is getting on me!
Well, I'm okay. How about you? Not much updates around here, except me rushing
my assignments. Anything new around your area?
well...not really...I was busy with school as well,and I will be until the end
of April when we have around 2 weeks of holiday can't
wait for it...I'm going to Greece with my sis then...
anyway...you're from Malaysia...that's in Asia,right...I'm not so good with
geography,sorry
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHohoho,
will do that right after this post.
Lol... right answer!
Quote:
You've got big ambition there. Envies you. But then, studying for further level
means that you're going to have your face stucked in huge piles of books, so I
think I wouldn't want that.
But big cash is good~
Nah... not really big, hehehe! Yup, more books and more term papers (that I
kinda don't like to do) but it'll help me improve more. I really feel like I
didn't learn much, ! That's my first target... big cash! *evil laughs*
Quote:
I'd love to visit Fillipines if I have the chance. Sense of humour is a good
thing, and Akai you'd better have that. They
slay me to death, seriously.
Lol, it's Philippines! Well... if you have a chance, I might be able to tour you
here a bit, hehehe! And I might search for Toei Philippines, which you wanna
see, hehehe! I have a sense of humour but not that strong.
Quote:
That's definitely great news for you. Not
much assignments to do now, and plus I think this semester's assignment's due
date is extended since my class procrastinated throughout the last semester so
hoho, more time to procrastinate even more!
I think I should consider taking Masters in Procrastination.
Hahaha... I think you better do, hehehe! You know, you better finish your
assignments now before it's too late. I tell you... that really sucks!
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenBeautiful
illustration. I'm doing Illustration this year too but I doubt it's going to be
as interesting and exciting as your course does it.
But putting that aside, I love this work. This picture is just too... sad. And
I'm already feeling sad inside so I think this is my best friend.
Love the colour scheme, and also the wise use of texture. *thumbs*
hehe I don't take any art courses xD This is just work on my own time :3 But I
hope you have fun in your illustration class! And thanks for the feedback!
The whole composition is fine, but I think the female character's hands are
kinda quirky and funny. The hair is nicely shaded, I must say, and the the curls
are really well done. *thumbs*
Seems like I still got a lot of work to do hehe... hands are always a pain to me
^^
thanks for your comment.
Quote by Ephemeral-Garden
Nope. Ephie still remember who is she. ^__^ Hohohoh. Uh, what was your question
again? *scratches*
LOL! And you just said you don't know who's "she"! If you STILL
remember who's "she", send me a pm with her name as the subject. and my
question... just forget about it.
Quote:
That's really good for you! Whoa,
you're going Masters?
Seriously?! It'll be tough for sure but I'm sure you'll be able to handle it. By
the way, why head for Masters? Don't you wanna at least rest for some years,
working and saving up some money?
Thanks! Yeah... I'm serious about that. It'll gonna be really tough but I think
I can manage it, hehehe! Why head for Masters? Well... it's better to study if
you're still young so after that, just gonna concentrate on making some cash,
*evil laughs*! But like I said... I'm still not sure about it, though.
Quote:
Nah, cause I saw a team from Philippines. And they're amazing! They go by the
name Marc and Rovilson. X3 Rovilson's sense of humour is killing me.
I may not be able to watch it but I know that there's a team from my country. Of
course, Filipinos are fun-loving people, hehehe! Most peepz have some sense of
humour.
Quote: By the way, sorry for taking
such a long time to reply. College has started and I can only use the e-library

It's okay... our Oral Defense is already finished and it turned out good but we

cares to you, too!

*random glomps from nowhere* Ah, it's been so long since I last saw you around.
You must be really busy. But ohh, I forgot to wish you a Happy Chinese New Year.
Hope you get lots of ang pows and hohoho, money money money, lols.
Ephie~! *glomps back* Gah.... did I forget to reply your last last post again?
Sob I officially announce that Enchant's brain is made out of moss
SPM is this year, so I have to work hard! Ahhh, and happy chinese new year to
you too! Oh and also, Happy Belated V-Day
Bahaha yeah I sure got a lot of angpaus, but its getting lesser and lesser every
year. Same goes for our CNY holidays! Well
anyway, once I'm outta school, I can celebrate CNY for as long as I want! I'm
sure you got lotsa angpaus too!
Quote by christabelNice to meet you
too*shakes hands*
So...what kind of anime you like except Gintama,huh?
Ooh, there's quite a list. Let me see... if you're talking about the anime then
they're uh... wait hold on.. Air Gear, Keroro Gunsou, Honey and Clover/II,
Nodame Cantabile, Yakitate! Japan, Kamisama Kazoku, Bleach, Boys Be..., Law of
Ueki and Midori no Hibi. For
manga then it wuld be different though.
*offers cookies* You want some? Talk
about cookies, I'm really hungry right now, seriously.
*grabs cookies* Yay,cookie... ^^
Half of your fav anime are the one I plan to watch...and I can't balieve I found
someone who likes Law of Ueki,I absolutely L.O.V.E that anime...I taught it was
just me,but I guess I'm not alone anymore ,haha
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenWho
Akai wants to be with this Valentine's? *grins evily* So how was your V-Day? Had
choco or did you send out roses? Me want choco! *pulls a puppy face* You can't
beat that!
Ah yes, catching up is the toughest part to deal with. Assignments are piling
up, that's a headache. But oh well, thank goodness you're not in your Finals.
I have lots of friends who flunked their subjects and they either repear the
subject or repeat the whole semester again. Scaaary. Especially when it comes to
the subject that you really hate. x_X
Ah LOL. I thought it was something more serious.
By the way Akai, do you watching Amazing Race Asia?
Geez... she already forgot. Oh well, that girl won't be revealed, ! My
Valentine's Day? Nah... just a "normal" day. No choco and no rose
sending. Hey, you didn't answered... oh well, maybe on the next Valentine's Day
will do.
Yeah... and I don't wanna experience that. If I'm lucky, I'm gonna graduate this
May *yay for me!*. If I graduate this May, I might work for a year and save some
money and then I'll pursue a Master's Degree while still working, hehehe! Gonna
be really tough.
Hehehe...
Amazing Race Asia? Nope... no local channel airing that show. I might watch that
if we have a cable tv. Why ask?
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHi
Akai! Yeap, thanks for the comment on both of the Gintama walls! <3 Yes,
gotta love them.
So how are you doing over there? Hope you're not burning your assignments or
anything. ^__^
I dun know that anime but I think it's good since I think you like it?
Nah... I'm stucked in the house for 2 weeks cuz of measles. no
burning or anything. And I screwed on my midterms on my Insurance subject. Say,
saw you're talking with Jak bout G Gundam...
I was only introduced to G Gundam while playing err... heck I forgot whats the
name of the cd. But anyway, its just a fighting game, just like KOF and Street
Fighters, except that you get to choose to use Gundams. And so I came upon
Gundams that are not familiar to me. So I kinda checked through some sites and
found out that the Gundam Domon was piloting represents
Japan.
Gundam Battle Assault, maybe. The original G Gundam game was on the SNES and
since you said CD, I reckon it wasn't that. Also, you said it was a fighting
game so Super Robot Taisen is out.
Moving on...
Quote:
"If there's Japan, surely there's one Gundam for my country, too.
*grins*"
And of course, there was one, but man does the Gundam looked crappy. *sighs* But
anyway, this IS a Japanese anime, what do you expect? But definitely, a Gundam
series not even on my list.
I believe you're talking about this guy:
The pilot looked like a criminal... so like I said in my review... mech design =
racist, stereotypical and stupid.
Quote:
Great review, once again. I really enjoy reading this.
Thank you. I'm workin' on a few more reviews for titles such as GTO, KimiNozo,
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and some others I'm currently re-watching so look
out for those.
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenYes,
Ben. I love artworks done by hm.. I'm guessing Ben's a female manga artist? I
really love her style. I've
been looking up for her works lately and my sister bought the 2nd volume of Le
Gardenie, too. Definitely one great artist who draws as well as Japanese
manga-ka.
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenThat's
an awesome review. I've
watched Midori no Hibi and I've got to say, it's pretty original of having a
girl as your right hand. ^__^ I enjoy watching this anime as well so I really
agree with all the above.
Thank you for the comment. Yeah, I gotta say I've loved Midori ever since I've
seen the commercials and it just got better everytime I watched it.
Oh, so that's around A5 or A6 isn't it? I'd love to have one since with that I
can start drawing without scanning, that'll save up a lot of mess and problems
as well. But I do have to agree that using a mouse ruins a good photoshopping
day. Is Wacom the only available brand for tablet products?
I have no idea if Wacom is the only product I
doubt it, but I asked for Wacom 'cause it was somewhat cheaper
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenOh, and
before I forget, I'm really curious about being unable to even enter MT page for
the past few days. What happened exactly? I heard they said it was hacker?
Yeah, it was a hacker
He got in again and started deleting groups and whatnot. Sheq found out how he
was getting in and patched up the hole, so that's why MT was down yesterday and
why it was lagging a few days ago.
Uh, I have a question about The One Challenge... I'm finally done with the work,
but you mentioned before a wallpaper with black white gray isn't allowed right?
But what if the wallpaper is like majority gray and only a small portion of red?
Is that allowed too? I'm not too sure about this one.
Hey Ephie,
As long as there's a tiny bit of colour (even 2x2 pixels ) then
it's counted in :3 That's because working with black and white is surprisingly
easy, so to make it harder, I included the compulsory one colour (or narrow
spectrum of the chosen colour )
Quote by Ephemeral-GardenHi
there Chloe-chan! *waves* Random
spamming~ >__<
So how are you doing? It must be busy being the moderator, but I'm sure you'll
do great.
By the way, I just wanted to ask you a question.. hmm.. you mentioned before
that you used a tablet to paint clouds right? What kind of tablet you have? Coz
I was thinking of buying one, but then I'm not sure what brand or what size is
enough especially if I want to use it to paint or drawing doujinshis. Ever since
I first saw Gintama I just kinda got hooked up, the table's full of their
fanarts.
Hi hi!
I have a Wacom tablet. Size is... 5x6? 4x5? something along those lines, I can't
find my booklet
But it's definitely worth it if you like to paint digitally; using the pen is so
much easier than a mouse D:
Quote by Ephemeral-Garden
Eat huh.. hhmm... well, not much. We didn't have turkey either this year. But
then that's a plus for me.
Drink huh? Aahahha, I did have some liquor but I couldn't last any longer.
Weirdly it has this strange taste, is that how they are supposed to taste like?
I
was especting something sweet-like.
Errr... Well, I mean, apparel wise. Not the inside. *coughscoughs* You like red
don't you? Then maybe you can try wearing all red, and I'll try wearing all
blue. Hm, hold on. I used to wear everything blue last time.
Hahaha... of course it's not sweet-like. It really tastes like that, well,
according to what you drink. What did you drank anyway?
Why do you have to watch out for me? Sure, I might come in and say something negative about a review, but so what? I'm like a dog with no teeth. Sure I can bark a lot but it isn't as if I can bite you. I'm just a lowly member who can come in a shake my cane at you, but not like I can do anything about it.
