I was writing a report for one of my courses, when I ended up writing "...an universal...". To my surprise, auto correction brings it to "...a universal...". Since this was strange to me (I was sure I was told, if word start with vowel, use "an" instead of "a"), I had to look it up. Results and reasoning after the jump.
Apparantely, I was taught wrong, or taught right and remembered it wrong.
English isn't something you just memorize, which makes it one of the harder subjects to master.
Instead of memorizing vowel beginnings then replacing "a" with "an", you should pronounce the word first. If it SOUNDS like a vowel, then you do the replacement. Otherwise it stays the same.
Here are some examples, since it caught me off guard myself.
Ultimate
- Sounds like "a"ultimate
So its "[an ultimate] human being"
University
- Sounds like "y"university
So its "[a university]"
Heres the problem though. If you aren't fluent in english and have no idea what the word sounds like, then what do you do?

NSFW: [Escude] Akatoki! -Yume Koso Masare Koi no Mahou- Visual Novel Semi-Review
This visual novel I played recently, was called Akatoki! -Yume Koso Masare Koi no Mahou- by Escude. Or in the japanese, あかときっ！-夢こそまされ恋の魔砲. Unlike the previous reviews, I won't be giving a score because I could not completely absorb all the information given. Why? I played it in Japanese. For those who wants to hear my thoughts on the game and along with a brief introduction to the game, click after the link.First the box art or the title page.. or atleast this is the first impression one would get from this visual novel.
Front CoverI personally like the art. Probably one of the main reasons why made me play. Just like animes, if I don't like the art, it doesn't matter how good the story is. Because I can't make my eyes stare at something I don't like for long periods of time (hours). Call that prejudice if you want. But all reviews are going to be like that to some degree.
This game isn't just a normal adventure visual novel because all you do is not simply read dialogues and pick whichever choice you think gets you to the ending you desire. There is a little bit of more involved combat which I will mention in great detail later.
The characters... there are alot of them. Why? Because theres the good guys and the bad guys. I got the pictures off the getchu (NSFW) site, they were missing a few pictures, but thats fine. Most of the important people are included.
Main character, shujinkou in japanese. His name is Yano Mayuto. Uses composite (no element) magic.
First of your 2 childhood friends, Kamishiro Yuuji. Uses light magic.
Second of the 2 childhood friends, Tachibana Yumi. Uses darkness magic.
First of the 5 heroine which has a pursuit-able route. Her name is Agatsu Nayu. She is a shy girl who is easily blushes and fluster easily. Very cute. Her magic elemental is fire.
Second of the 5 heroines. Name is Mashiro Sayaka. She is the typical perfect class president. Highly capable and leader material. Infact, she is the leader for the group. She uses earth magic.
Third of the 5 heroines. Shes the typical tsundere, named Amata Maki. I start to think that whenever a girl is blonde and has twintails in an anime or visual novel, they are automatically tsundere. Lol... She uses sound magic... what? I might have interpreted it wrong, from the elemental circle (weakness and strengths), her magic is yellow. So maybe lightning or wind...?
Fourth heroine. A bit strange on how to describe this one, her name is Kurushima Ririi. Her route was actually the one I played. Not very often theres someone with heterchromia. But her personality is similar to that of a kid, even though she strongly disagrees. She is pretty rough around the edges if you really get to know her. But she hides that side by putting on an act around people. An act that resembles a typical ojou-sama. But she doesn't show off like one. Thank goodness... She is a ice magic user.
Fifth and final heroine. She is Marukawa Rinko. Shes... maso. Yeah... Notice the collar? You put that on her. I don't know much else about her. Anyway, darkness is her elemental attribute.
This little thing is cool. Its basically a generic enemy. However he somehow defected to your side. I don't know the details because I couldn't read japanese. Hes number 773 of the mass produced minions. So hes named Nanami by you and your two childhood friends. (7 = nana, so na for short, and 3 = mitsu, so mi for short. Combining 773 gives na na mi)
Generic bad guy. Theres black ones and white ones. Theres also more evil looking bad guys like wolves and birds which I don't have pictures of. Theres also evil marionettes.
The guardian for our group of 6 people. Her name is Ayasaki Nagare and acts as our intelligence personnel. She is often ridiculed by other people and acts as comedic relief.
The master of the enemy which assaults the main character's. I did not understand the reason. Perhaps it was mentioned but I must have missed it. All I know was they want to take over the world. And then that was how it all began, with massive numbers of those cute looking knights. Her name is Kukuriku.
Maid of Kukuriku. I don't know her background, but she serves Kukuriku basically whatever she needs, she does. Her name is Chikka.
The most annoying bad guy in my opinion. Hes a clown, so he speaks in a funny fashion. He is pretty involved in the story so you won't be getting rid of him easily. He calls himself Piero. He is supposed to be one of the three main bad guys who works under Kukuriku.
He is the third of the strong bosses of Kukuriku. His name is G-Fender. There is a second boss who has a clock for head but his picture was not on getchu. So I'll leave him out. He looks cute. Doesn't he? Looks like lego too. Haha. I love lego.Next, I'll mention the battle system which drawn me to the game. Every now and then, you'll reach an event where you either meet a boss or minions. Those are all pre-written in the program so you will do it every time you reach those triggers. The battles takes place in a turn-based fashion. Your characters versus whatever the enemy has.
Each character has the following actions,
1. Attack (Consumes Mana) single target
- There are 3 attacks per person, weak, medium, strong
- Each attack has their amount of knockback in the ordering or turns
- So you can make someone never have a turn
2. Change Formations
- Attacker gains attack and speed, but most probable to attack
- Wingman gets nothing and loses nothing
- Defender gets more defence at a cost of attack
3. Rest (Regenerate Mana)
4. Use spell (Different per person) on all characters
- Mayuto boosts attack
- Nayu boosts speed
- Maki boosts shield
- Ririi dispells negative effects
- Sayaka heals
- Rinko puts enemies to sleep with a certain percentage
5. Uses special (Requires Heatgage at 100%) Note: Heatgage probably means Heat Gauge. Oh well.
- Its an attack that hits all enemies
- Becareful because some enemies have it too
There are also chain attacks and append attacks which helps add damage to your comboes.
Oh yes, the elemental wheel.
Water -> Fire -> Nature -> Earth -> Wind/Lightning/Sound(?) -> Water
and
Darkness <-> Light
So basically strategically outsmart your enemy using all the information given. Sounds fun! And alot like other rpg games.
The objectives are of course, to KO all the enemies before you do. At the end of every battle, you are given stars, those stars are used to improve the stats of your characters. If a character is KO'ed in battle, then at the end of that battle, that character gets 1 less star than what you would get if he had survived. So try to keep everyone alive.
Oh... since one more thing. Have you ever heard of Queensblade Spiral Chaos? This game is similar. Your character has one unique feature different from all the other games I've played.
Look below.
You start out like this.As battle goes on...
That happens...Keep going and...
Ta da! Btw, it doesn't stop there. You can imagine.It applies to pretty much all of the heroines and some of the enemies.
Its considered a KO if you become exposed. Don't worry though, that is hardly possible in the two play throughs I've done. You ALWAYS get HP KO'ed before that happens. Or maybe I'm playing it wrong... Hahaha...
I'll mention what I thought of the story, atleast what I found from it. The stories were not as deep as the previous I played. But nevertheless it was quite enjoyable. For one, I felt like my japanese was on an adequate level to follow what was going on. The story didn't have too many twists and was straight forward. Ririi's arc left more on an impression on me than Nayu's arc. But that might be different from person to person. I might also be missing fine details due me not being fluent in japanese. That also said, because of that, I am unqualified to give a proper review. But I would say, I enjoyed it. The stories.
Synopsis:
An evil group of people calling themselves Kurayami attacked the world in an attempt to take over. Their army consist of cute looking things such as those knights which rendered conventional military confused and inefficient. That was when magic came into existence. Main character and your two childhood friends went out to be magicians to combat this threat. You go to the school to learn and that is where you become familiar and eventually pursue one of the 5 main heroines of this game. The game involves a generic arc that covers about 50% of the game. After which depending on the choices you've made, you follow the character specific arc for 5 alternate endings.
Lastly, the CG and music wasn't that great for me. There weren't many CGs at all. But now that I think about it, the length was not that long either. There were 2 H-events for each character except Rinko. Several tracks in the music consisted of something similar to what we hear in Canada and America. It just sounded different. I'm not used to hearing fluent english words in a japanese game. Sorry.
Well, that concludes what I had to say. Its been so long since I actually posted something relevant to Japan. So I thought I'd write this up since it was something I played. Proud of it? Kinda yeah. One step closer to playing raw visual novels and watching raw anime. Because you know, every little step helps!

No Stealing !! (tense)!
Enjoy
To my dear Kooh,
who stole my soul.
I remember when we first met,
such a time I'll never forget.
It was back when I first started,
when my friends had all just parted.
I was lonely, can't you see,
until I set my eyes on thee.
Your flowy hair so light and free,
it was all so gorgeous to me.
Your pretty eyes, so full of passion,
and those colours, oh such great fashion.
You stood there with much strength and might,
it was truly such a sight.
You helped taught me how to play,
but soon after, you went away.
I've been playing since that day,
so "lets play again", I'll one day say.
Without you, its not the same,
at least let me hear your name.
I never gave you my reply,
to your question, I know why.
I was foolish as was dumb,
now my heart is all so numb.
I love you Kooh, with all my heart,
please don't let us be apart.
Again for a golf game, Albatross18.

MySpace Port: Drinking and Driving Poem

Drinking and driving is all so cool,
thats only if you're a fool.
It will cause you your life,
and give great pain to your wife.
Leave your children unattended,
and a scar not easily mended.
How this happens, its no surprise,
that is why no one survives.
Drinking one glass leads to two,
keep on drinking and you're screwed.
When you're broke you leave the bar,
walking slowly to your car.
Start the engine, release the breaks,
all that seems like a piece of cake.
Get on the road and reach a light,
forget to stop, and it turns bright.
open your eyes and what do you see,
its so scary that you start to pee.
When light dies down, you see a truck,
all you can do is say "holy f*ck".
Crash and burn is all men sees,
not knowing that it was me.
That was the story of how I died,
apologies for those who cried.
I do not wish for the same mistakes,
to those people who may fortake,
the pains and pleasure of drinking beer,
let me warn you, there's tons to fear.
Let this be a lesson to remember,
that life is precious, like a treasure.
So live freely like a bird,
drinking beer? Don't be absurd.
You only have one life to use,
live it right so you don't lose.
Special thanks goes to StriderX, my real life friend who inspired me to write this.

Midterms happens once a term,
it attacks you like a germ.
Stealing away your time and mind,
forcing you to go and grind,
memorizing terms and theories,
draining your life, leave you weary.
Hours spent, none accomplished,
left your brain fully abolished.
When its test time, you wake up late,
you say to yourself, "Oh just great".
You run to exam room and what do you find?
You've been kicked out so now you whine.
Begging and swearing is all you do,
two hours passed and now you're through.
Zero on one midterm is such a pain,
it is as though you've just been slain.
So you work hard for the rest,
get a 70, you did your best.
Find out later that the class failed,
what a relief that you weren't nailed.
Don't celebrate yet, it has just begun,
let this be the start of a brand new run.
Inspired by Kevin Y. I did my best

Playing fairly is a rule,
cheating, haxing is not cool.
Cheaters give me such a scare,
I thought you weren't being fair.
Games should be played fair and square,
not with programs here and there.
Play by AI isn't good,
but by skills like how it should.
Next time lets play with skills and pride,
if we fail, at least we tried.

You broke up with me in the past,
it's a pain that forever last.
When you weren't there, all was boring,
so I spent every minute mourning,
wondering what i had done wrong,
left me hollow and you gone.
I do wish for another chance,
for our lives to enhance,
to heal and remove the old sorrows,
and carve ourselves a bright tomorrow.
It's already a new millennium,
but feels like a circle, much like a pendulum.
Although much time has passed by,
nothing have changed between you and I.
I still seek for your forgiveness,
in the past, for my selfishness.
I finally understand why I was rejected,
because I was actually defected,
being selfish and greedy,
asking for stuff and being needy.
As in the past I'm still begging,
but you never reply to my nagging.
What can I do before you talk to me again?
money, chocolates, roses I can send.
Myself too, I have changed,
much like a living room, rearranged.
No longer the crowded room as it was,
more spaces and freedom which you sought.
Whatever you want, I will give,
please come back to me, together we'll live.
As for the reply.
I'm sorry but that will not do,
As for you and I, we are through.
I now have another man,
a person who gives me a hand.
Takes away my stress and pain,
having him is such a gain.
He does nothing bad to me,
makes me happy, feeling free.
He respects all my decisions,
even with my ovary incision.
We both love each other greatly,
Please forget me and find another lady.
I am right now very happy,
I want to live here eternally.
I must have been too bored in class again (:[)

My Way of thinking
People ask me if I'm gay,
Avoiding all girls everyday.
To that question, no I'm not,
a straight mind, I have got.
But you see, I am too poor,
I am living in a sewer.
I have to live off of others,
eating all their leftovers.
Not just money, but time too,
I lack both in waterloo.
Secretly studying in university,
because others took pity.
Working hard 24/7,
please let me die and go to heaven.
How could I have a girlfriend now?
With so many problems, oh tell me how.
So I just avoid them the best I can,
the most I do is talk through LAN.
The fewer that I see,
the better for me.
Because they will only steal my heart,
and make it painful when we part.
There you have it, my story.
I have my pride and glory.
Maybe once I have the time,
I'll look for one, with a dime.
Using up my money for her,
"You want a car?", ok sure.
Suddenly, this feels like such a scam,
losing my time and cash, "Oh damn"
I felt I should write something...

Would you let me follow you?
Would you take me to the zoo?
Would you give me all your time?
Would you trade it for a dime?
Would you buy me this and that?
Would you mind if I was flat?
Would you care about how I look?
Would you worry if I can't cook?
Would you share with me your lunch?
Would you give me that fruit punch?
Would you like to have a dance?
Would you give me another chance?
Would you like to talk to me?
Would you one day set me free?
Would you wait for my return?
Would you see what I have learned?
Would you protect me forever?

Would you, could you make me your?

Not sure what to call this... lol. Note: I know there are lots of grammatical errors, but for it to actually sound pleaseant when i speak it in my head, those sacrifices must be made. (lol)

MySpace Port: University of Waterloo Poem
I just went to myspace to see some how I acted and stuff back many years ago. Then I realized I had actually wrote ALOT of poems. So I've decided to bring them over to the blog. Since I wont think I'll visit there ever again. Poem is after the jump.
University of Waterloo Poem
Water water water!!!
loo loo loo!!!
Water water water!!!
loo loo loo!!!
Welcome to our university,
its not for the poor and needy.
Overpricing food and book,
forcing us all to cook.
Paying for tuition is hell,
to afford, your home must sell.
Ninety thousand for a year,
that alone will make you fear.
That is only the beginning,
to the university's winning.
If you choose to live in rez,
your money and future will be a mess.
Deep in debt you will be,
because that is just like me.
Another evil plan they have,
is forcing you to go take math.
Its the course that rapes our mark,
trapping our souls, make us park,
into their grasps forever.
We will not escape, not ever.
Fail and fail year after year,
I see bankrupcy drawing near.
I regret the choice I made,
and also cry for my current grade.
There is no fun in waterloo,
if we play games, they will sue.
Rob us of what we have left,
then put us in jail like a theft.
Forcing parents to spend cash,
to bribe us free, with their stash.
Ruining their own retirement,
draining their money as payment,
to the university for our release,
no more cash, retirement ceased.
We become beggars, nothing more,
At UW, I truly swore.
"You wrecked my life, you filthy b*stards"
"I should have been rich... I was a nerd!"
Please pay a visit to my home sometime,
its a big box filled with lime.
Please bring some food and money,
Its not a joke, I'm not that funny.
In reality however, UW is a very nice place. haha

MySpace Port: Hong Kong Poem
I just went to myspace to see some how I acted and stuff back many years ago. Then I realized I had actually wrote ALOT of poems. So I've decided to bring them over to the blog. Since I wont think I'll visit there ever again. Poem is after the jump.
Hong Kong Poem
Have you ever been to Hong Kong?
Its the place of chinese songs.
Chinese letters and language,
lots of seafood, lots of fish.
Streets are always filled with people,
with some wise men who makes riddle.
Mass transit is always used,
being carless is what most choose.
But the air is still so bad,
the smokes there drives me so mad.
But I like their school system,
students wear uniforms, its a custom.
It makes them look so well mannered,
like my cute cat when she purred.
Hong Kong is the place to buy,
but don't stay outside, you will fry.
Every building has AC.
So the malls are a must see.
If you are free, go visit sometime,
don't bring weapons, or its a crime.
Please have fun on your journey!
And next time you can go with me!
Lalalala, bored in music class again.

MySpace Port: Albatross18 Poem of Green
I just went to myspace to see some how I acted and stuff back many years ago. Then I realized I had actually wrote ALOT of poems. So I've decided to bring them over to the blog. Since I wont think I'll visit there ever again. Poem is after the jump.
Entered for alb18 St.Patricks Day contest, no copying! (tense)!
Enjoy
Poem of Green
Have you ever gone outside?
Its so dirty, it made me die.
What happened to all of the green?
the good old trees standing tall and mean.
Scaring away bullies and fiends,
makes me friends with all the teens.
They also filter the bad air,
makes life cleaner, everywhere.
But now the trees are not around,
no sign of life forms on the ground.
The world is withering away,
this kind of lifestyle must not stay.
Lets work together to restore life,
lets not cut trees, with our knife.
Instead lets plant a new forest,
and make it our base and fortress,
against the loggers who harms the green.
A world without trees, we have seen,
let us prevent that disaster,
as was done by our master.
We should work toward a tomorrow,
with lots of joy and little sorrow.
Please do not kill anymore trees,
they are living, like you and me.
This was again for Albatross18. A game of golf.

MySpace Port: Poem of Equal Trade
I just went to myspace to see some how I acted and stuff back many years ago. Then I realized I had actually wrote ALOT of poems. So I've decided to bring them over to the blog. Since I wont think I'll visit there ever again. Poem is after the jump.
Poem of equal trade
Nothing in this world comes free
Open your eyes and you will see
In order to gain something nice
You must pay an equal price
Such as a leg for an arm
That should set off your alarm
No more wanting everything
No more wanting to be king
Keep on wanting and you'll have nothing left
Continue to want and you'll be a theft
Pay the fines and go to jail
Lose it all, at life you fail
Theres a lesson to all this
So fame and fortune you don't miss
Just be yourself and don't be greedy
So what if your clothes are chessy
Be thankful of what you've got
Having it, is better than not
If you happen to believe in luck
Then I must tell you what the f*ck
If you idle, nothing will come
Why don't you go beg your mom
Those people do not deserve to live
They only take and never give
Let us share this across the globe
Never stopping, like a space probe
With this I hope to change the world
For the future boys and girls
Thank you for lending me your time
To hear my message in a rhyme
Lets all do our part to help
About this messenge we will tell
May we see a brighter tomorrow
In a world with much less sorrow.
1st of the 2 poems I wrote while working, made during the breaks I had hehe. On my cell =P

Rosaline Poem
To my sweet dear Rosaline
You're the sun that always shine
Your radiance shown like a flower in a desert
Seeing you alone make me hurt
So pretty yet so fragile
I want to protect your smile
I beg of you to accept me
Together happiness we will see
I can give up everything
Even my position as king
Anything to reach your heart
So we don't have to be apart
My life is nothing when you're not around
Much like the pebbles on the ground
Laying there forever forgotten
Just like some old shredded cotton
Scattered all over the place
Like my heart struck by a mace
When you bid me goodbye
I was so hurt and started to cry
I want you to know that I still love you
And shall endure all that you put me through
Because without pain none can be achieved
At least that is what I truely believed
Therefore I shall keep on waiting
For the day when we'll be dating
Oh my dear sweet Rosaline
How will I make your heart mine
The 2nd of the 2 poems I wrote at work. The name "Rosaline" does not especially mean anything to me (if any at all). I was just thinking of words to use for mmorpgs =P Suddenly felt like making a poem on that name, and there you have it. The so-called inspiration.

MySpace Port: Albatross18 Wishlist Event Poem
I just went to myspace to see some how I acted and stuff back many years ago. Then I realized I had actually wrote ALOT of poems. So I've decided to bring them over to the blog. Since I wont think I'll visit there ever again. Poem is after the jump.
Time for a poem on the spot !
Start time, 7:13pm.
When I first open my eyes,
I see a field of baby's cries.
They Wished for presents that never came,
They lost hope in Santa lame.
So I told them my story,
of presents and glory.
Story: "Once upon a time, a valkryie named Kooh who fought alongside the gods of the world. The war was indeed the great Ragnarok. The fight was tough and during the final battle to renew Earth, Kooh was injured protecting Odin, the leader of the gods against the monsters that were terrorizing the lands. She was recorded in the history of the world as the savior and protector of Earth, awarded the "Kooh's Halo", she ascends into the heavens leaving behind a message to the humans and gods that we will protect this earth so no more sacrificed like in Ragnarok must be made."
(continuing with poem)
How this relates to Santa they all ask.
I tell them nothing's free, theres a task,
You must show them your trust,
towards Santa Claus, is a must.
You must believe not in myths,
and must work hard to earn great gifts,
Just has Kooh fought in the fight,
to earn something which was right,
A hero sacrificing herself for,
the greater good for Earth and all.
Deserved the title of hero and angel,
and watches over us on that rainbow.
Let us work hard for our rewards,
so we can be like Harrison Ford.
If it is unsure what present is on my wish list, it is the Halo (K).
I hope you enjoyed reading as I enjoyed writing.
End time, 7:35pm
I don't remember for sure, but I think this was for an albatross18 event where you write a poem incorporating an item you would like to receive in the game. The item here was a Halo for Kooh (K).

Second Pangya Self Design Completed
I surprisingly had more time than I thought. As mentioned in the previous post, the source of the outfit was from Meruru of the Ore no Imoutou anime. Pictures after the jump.
The source picture I used was actually different from what I originally Planned.
The picture was a screencap from the anime episode 10. I used this picture because it felt more appropriate.
I think its well done for my standards. I've never been an art person. Though if anything, I think I messed up the sleeves. Though infact, its extremely hard to do it since when the hands stretch or what not. The clothes stretch, leading to un-uniformity of the pink band on the sleeves. Though its not perfect, I wouldn't worry too much about it though.
I dropped the 2 yellow balls on the skirt since it wasn't possible to draw 3D. I did some shading on the clothes to try to give it a feel of depth. Not sure if thats enough though... All in all, I spent much more time on this. Especially the ribbon on the top and the "frills(?)" on the bottom. Its hard to make something flat look like its folded. If you know what I mean.
I don't see myself doing anything new anytime soon. But who knows, maybe another one will pop out from nowhere. If anything can get my uncreative brain started...

Happy New Year!
Akimashite omedatou gozaimasu!
With that, marks the end of another wonderful year of 2010. Hope we continue to have a good and enlightening new experiences in the time to come. My present to you is after the jump.
I have finally recorded a piano piece from the visual novel "Clannad". The song is called "汐" in its native Japanese name, and when translated to romaji through google translate, it gave "Shiodome". When I used google to define that word, it says that its a place in Tokyo, Japan.
My friend translated it to Shio, meaning wave, current, or opportunity. Not sure what it is anymore. =x
Second friend translated to Ushio, which would make sense, so lets go with that. Spoiler alert. (highlight to see)
Ushio is the name of Nagisa's and Tomoya's baby girl.
This video was completely recorded from my iPhone3GS, if that means anything.
The source for the music sheet is here. The site is called Picoscores. Japanese person. Great music. I love it for its simplicity because I haven't played piano in a long time so I can't do complicated songs anymore.
My previous song, Kotoko - Allegretoo music sheet was also from there.
Happy new year!
