Relentlessly, time presses forward

Current song: Tears infection - Kaori

Christmas has finally hit, to those who celebrate this day; I wish you a happy day. To be honest the past month or so has seemed like 2 days, less, a day and a half seems more appropriate. Either one of two things have happened; time has gone by really fast or, I can't remember anything I did during this period cause bluntly I don't believe I've done anything worth remembering. I've done NOTHING. Absolutely nothing productive since my exams finished. Before I realize it, new year will arrive then comes the period where my brain starts functioning like a regular brain with the aid of school.

What's more is that today my parents head home, yep. Home to Vietnam for a month so... consequently I'm at home with my brothers for a month and occasionally my sister-in-law. I used to live like this more often, my parents sometimes vacated for as long as 4 month long periods a while back. I don't mind this lifestyle, no it isn't the healthiest live-style but i'd be damned to say it's the worse. You could call it a time period of independence, where I have to make my own choices and food doesn't magically appear on the dining table every night (thanks mom ^^).

There isn't much going on in my life right now as I said, my parents left for Vietnam so not much I can do is there? I'm partly looking forward to Summer-school, new experiences are always enjoyable even if they might be bad, who cares =P. I've been playing a lot of warcraft 3 recently, no not dota, but REAL men warcraft 3. I swear warcraft 3 used to be so much more fun when i was a newb and didn't know how to play. Now, yes it is still fun but it's also hard, very hard if I don't mind saying. So many mind games and such are involved, it's just mindblowing. Thinking about that alone makes you really not wanna play, but I stay, for some peculiar reason; I stay and i'll stay for awhile to come.
Following Chrono Trigger, I've picked up Chrono Cross on my PS1 Emulator. It's fun but the rom is slightly buggy which is troublesome at points. Anime has been same old, I've finished watching the second season of Higurashi no naku koro ni AKA Higurashi no naku koro ni KAI. I stand firm to having Higurashi on my list of top 5 animes. Acquaintances of mine have stated that Higurashi is multiple stories. In fact it isn't multiple stories, I can't go into much more detail than this without spoiling the entire thing for you, sorry! Please understand that I really hate spoilers, no i'll change that i despise of spoilers. If i have spoiled anything for you EVER, i sincerely apologize and will kick myself in the head if i find out I've spoiled something for you. (Seriously I will... kick myself in the head that is).

Since i've got nothing else to write off the top of my head, I'm gonna talk about 'Kyoto animation productions' aka KyoAni. Personally my favorite Anime making company in conjuction with 'Visual art's' and 'Key', these companies have managed to produce titles i adore. Air TV, Kanon 2006 and Clannad to name a few. The stories are gloomy, saturated deeply in sadness, stories which above all; incite emotion. All with a slight touch of fantasy. Not to pull you away from realism but to make things more intriguing. I'll say this again like i say countless times, I am no Film reviewer, I am no Anime critic, i'm just a random member of society expressing an opinion. These titles... leave my speechless, mind blowing to an extent. Most importantly leave me with many thoughts, which take countless hours to process and finally put to rest. Absolute masterpieces IMO.

Well I hope you enjoy my Christmas rant, it differs from all my other rants by a factor of zero.
