Proper Goodbye to Neopets =/

Okay, I somehow need to get this off my chest.

Like, seriously.

As you all know, it's Lent season.
Where we have to give up our personal desires for 40 days.

*Somehow* during this time, life doesn't get any easier than it should.
You know why?

Simply because...
I'm constantly reminded of Neopets.

Like, wow.
I can't believe I actually stopped Neopets...
Right after I learnt how to earn a ton of Neopoints =.=;;

There are so many things that I miss there.
Sorry, even if I'm like, 18 right now; I still like the site for 10 years old.

Yeah? So what?
Unlike you "matured" people out there who only seem like "adult" things are so much more fun =.=;;

Heck, even adults play that game and they become so successful!!

I know my [current] career was actually triggered by Neopets.
That was when I learnt how to edit codes.

Yeah, it was frustrating;
but I got around it and learnt the basics there...
so much so that I can now actually edit custom blogskins as well...
[with my knowledge expanding to Wordpress!!]

Good grief!
I missed those times where I'd played Key Quest with SR
and hoped that with every gold key I got,
I could get a rare paint brush.

And all the dailies...
ReStocking,
watching NeoStocks...

Heck, sometimes it seemed that 24 hours ain't enough to do all you wanna do.
There'd gotta be some things you might've missed out. D:

*sigh*
I really wish I could go back and play for a bit.
Maybe once a week or so.
Like, control myself before it got out of hand

So much that I can't play it anymore. For the rest of my life D:

But what to do?
God really did send me that dream.
Where I was opening Neopet's Times [the local newspaper there, lol]
and sitting with my back to the altar, whilst Mass was going on.

And somehow, I couldn't tear my eyes off the paper;
and I kept saying, "Just a bit more to finish."

Of course, I woke up before finishing.
Or I never got to finish. The dream had probably evolved from there.
Or something.

Whatever the case, it was either I quit Neopets there and then
[like Plurk & Restaurant City that time =.=;;]
OR! I might loose my relationship with God.

T_T
Stupid as it might sound,
I really do miss it. [2 years after quitting without notice]

Because I was waiting to get bored of it.
Yeah, right. How do you get bored of something routineous
if you suddenly discovered the best way to deal play with it?

And the results just repeats itself? You can't right?
Alright, it isn't really my biggest regret or anything,
since I don't have any BIG BIG BIG regrets.
[DON'T!! want 'em. D:]

Just, during this time I missed it more.
I think I quit 2 years ago. Yeah D:

And no, Restaurant City = hardly think of it -.-;;
Neopets is more... since I really did love it from the beginning.
And quit. And play. And quit. And play...
Even if I often played without many friends online at that time! lol! 

I guess it just boils down to one's preference.

So, Goodbye Neopets!
Though I really love you!
*since you're clean yet entertaining and all*
*sigh*


Oh well =/

Want A Laugh?

Okay, so I'm going to to this without!
any sort of <center> </center> stuff xD

Now, today's post is also for a movie review that I've watched...
sometime this month xD

Which was... Despicable Me.

source


It was LOL!!

Seriously, it was funny!
[Since I had no expectations, except that it was a "cinema movie",
and not some "cheap budget movie" with fake CGI and stuff.]

The minions were adorable!
[not that I would want any one of them, I think they'd be pretty annoying xD]

My sister and I were entertained x)
Mum's ony comment was;
"Aiyer! Why he [Gru] has a big head and tiny legs?"

Mum, it's cartoon -.-;;
lol!!

So... short sypnosis?

Spoiler Alert!!

Gru has a career, car, house and personality like no other people.
While everyone else is living a normal, day to day life...

He owns a rocket-like vehicle, carries a super-blast gun,
and lives in a crooked house [unlike his unsuspecting neighbours]...
which has an underground lab full of minions building his latest scheme.
He has a bad-assed "piranha-like fish... [it's supposed to be a dog, I think o.o]
And pops a balloon that he gives to a crying boy for fun.

That's right. He's job is a villain!
[No, he does not combat any sort of heros!]

So, anyways, with a recent discovery of a heist; which was stealing the pyramids,
Gru sets out to outdo the villain who did so.
He gets ambitious to steal the moon!
[Er... actually, it was his life long dream to impress his somewhat
emotionally distached mum awww DD:]

However, doing so required a large amount of funds,
so he takes a trip to the Bank of Evil.
Only to be told that it was impossible to withdraw anymore funds,
since Gru wasn't the best and had failed his chance to shine.

In fact, the Bank of Evil wanted a new breed of villains,
with young blood, passion, and hunger more a more malicious desire...
[like the one who managed to steal the pyramids... *hint* *hint*]
 
 
Vector. -.-;;

A dissappointed Gru decides to go ahead anyway,
and appeal later.

He flies off to Japan?/Korea?/China? and steals a
shrinking tool so that he would shrink the moon in order to steal it.

Along the way, Vector intercepts him, and steals the tool from him!

So Gru tries to get into Vector's high security house... and fails.
He notices that 3 [orphaned] girls selling cookies were able to enter his house, though,
so he sets out to adopt them in order to steal the Shrinker tool.

When he does, his heart slowly changes.
Like all movies, he does a terrible mistake,
and saves the day! Will he somehow have a complete change of heart?

Did I already say how much I loved this movie?? xD
Hadn't I? xD

Well, the graphics were pleasing to the eye,
the storyline was awesome!
[Absolutely no comments there !]
In fact, I liked the look on the game vendor's face when the 3 girls actually won the unicorn...
Sooo... cheat! o.o
And really; after Gru steps in, that was even LOL! x)

I also liked the part with the minions in it :D
Their laugh was so... hilarious!! *hahahahahahahaa*

It pays to not know what the movie's about, you know?
In fact, I wondered what it was about when I first heard it x)

Any bad sides to this?
Hm... it may not appeal to the more-logic driven people...
like Mum xD
Since heads in this movie are non-logically bigger than their feet,
which shouldn't be able to support them.

Pros:
Exciting, Funny, Adorable, Heartwarming to watch
Pleasing graphics.
Wicked humour.
Lovable characters.

Cons:
Maybe for the logic-oriented, I guess:
Body proportions are wrong [but it's a cartoon!!]
Too bad Gru didn't managed to achieve his dream.
Probably I'd love to see the villain gets his day sometime ;)

P.S. After watching this movie, watch this!

LOL!!

My Princess Review [Korean Drama]

As the title suggests :)

source

First of all, thanks to my bestie, SR for giving me this drama *wink* *wink*

I had fun :D

okays, let's move on.

I know, I don't exactly understand Korean and all...

but I still wanna say my opinions on this drama.

So, short sypnosis!

Spoiler Alert!!

Lee Seol is just another college girl.

Who dreams of going to Egypt to meet her history professor, Professor Nam.

Money is hard to come by for her.

Secretly in her heart, she remembers the words of her father,

telling her that he will one day come back for her.

Park Hae Young is a confident, sly diplomant.

He is the grandson of Park Dong Hae, the President of the Dong Hae company.

He was tasked in searching for Lee Seol, who was actually Korea's long vanished princess.

But they actually meet when Hae Young escorts a caucasian princess

[can't remember which country she was from]

and asks Lee Seol to take a picture with her

[because Lee Seol's job was to "act" as the Korean princess at the photo booth].

After that, President Dong Hae asks Hae Young to go escort Lee Seol

to the place as a princess.

When Hae Young reluctantly brings her,

they all go to the Crown Prince's grave

and Lee Seol denies being a princess...

because that means that her father, Lee Han, who she loved so dearly, was dead.

Of course, she is forced into accepting becoming a princess because a scandal stating that

her father was a thief and an enemy of the country had emerged.

And so, to prove the gossip wrong, she became the princess... and here's where the story started.

Soon, Oh Yoon Joo, Hae Young Museum Director,

who hated President Dong Hae [she was brought up with Hae Young]

became the Director of the Royal Foundation set up by President Dong Hae...

In order to overthrow the Monarchy's revival.

Needless to say, she made Lee Seol's princessy life a living hell.

Even more so since Hae Young started falling in love with Lee Seol.
[Hae Young's and Yoon Joo's relationship was soon-to-be-engaged]

Coming to Lee Seol's aid was her Professor Nam.
He stood by Lee Seol's side and helped her out during
Korea's crisis of having dual princesses;
One which was fake, another which was real.
Do you believe that he and Yoon Joo were, aparently, each other's first love? xD

So yeah. That's pretty much how it went.

There are a lot of twists and turns.

From the monarchy's troubles to love problems and family issues.

Unfortunately, though I've already watched another drama

earlier this year [thanks again, SR!!]

and I have to say that that drama excelled beyond my imagination and

kept me on the edge of my seat.

This drama was only something to pass the time.

I didn't understand much of the scenes.

I mean, why make the character change sooooo drastic that

even Hae Young was like, begging to Lee Seol?

The only character I liked [lol!] was Gun, the palace cook

and... Yoon Joo....

cause she stayed hate-able throughout the whole series. Haha!!

I mean, come on!
I couldn't really connect with the characters all that much...

And what's up with understanding Yoon Joo's behaviour that
both Hae Young and Prof Nam was talking about? Sorry, but I don't understand :(

Also, I wished that the director or (script writer!) could've taken a little more time in explaining how Yoon Joo and Prof. Nam met...
Since Yoon Joo grew up with Hae Young...
Whose grandfather has Yoon Joo's father as a secretary.

There was also a time when the real sachet of the queen was found, but with Lee Seol's adopted sister (yes, they were both adopted).
I was very interested to know how her sister, Lee Dan, was able to get her hands on the Queen's sachet.

But, you know, it wasn't revealed either.

Oh yeah, brace yourself when you watch this drama.
As far as I've counted, there were 3 kissing scenes.
Like really mouth to mouth -.-;;
Because that meant I had to shut eye D:
3 times !! X.x

Bad comments aside, are there any good sides to the drama?

Hmmm... Yeah, I suppose.
It was interesting to watch the funny scenes,
There are those scenes that make you go 'lol!!'
There aren't many scenes that make me cry, though. I couldn't related to their sadness...

On a last note, if you watch this drama,
Be sure to look out for the actors'/actresses' eye bags !!
There are soooooooo obvious !! Lol!!

Pros:
Good way to past time.
Entertaining to watch.
Has it moments.
Interesting plots.

Cons:
Character development isn't all that believable.
Difficult to connect with the characters.
Unexplained questions still hung even after the end of the movie.
Kissing scenes... Very intense -.-;;
