Making some POCKET MONAY!!!

2009-10-22T14:27:00.004+08:00

As you can see from my recent posts, I am now addicted to a card game named Weiβ Schwarz!! The cost of starting out in this game is quite high, you need to get the cards to build a powerful deck and that requires you to spend!

So.. the solution to this problem is

NUFFNANG

It is very simple, you just need to have a blog and an account on NUFFNANG. Link them together and put some ads around your blog. There you have it, a way to earn some pocket money!! Now, all you need to do is constantly blog from time to time(like me.. =D). Only People from Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and Philippines can do this.

With all the ads around your blog, you now need unique visitors and people to click on your ads. Nuffnang calculates your earnings by the amount of unique visitors per month and the amount of clicks. If your amount of unique visitors is high, your earnings per click will also increase. Do not worry about VIRUS as they are safe websites.

The next step is to increase your earning rate. The fastest way to do that is to ask your friend(who is a famous blogger) to publicize your blog. That way, you can increase your publicity as well as your earnings. Do not forget to stop blogging after your friend has publicize about your blog, if you stopped blogging suddenly, you will DE-fame your friend's blog. If you talk interesting topics, more people will read your blog.

An example of a person's earnings in 1 month. There are other people with much higher earnings than this. (LOL I should not be posting his earning here.. xD)

Try to keep your blog stuck to one focus, for example, mine is about "an otaku's life".
Remember! Try not to touch sensitive issues and try not to put other advertisement on your blog other than Nuffnang(they will lower your earnings).

Example of excellent bloggers: Vvens and ABSOLUTsusu

ヴァイスシュヴァルツ, or Weiβ Schwarz Trading Card Game

2009-10-20T14:27:00.003+08:00

KONNICHIWA MINNASAN,
I am back with more news and its the best news to all otakus out there.

The Back of the Card

As you can see the title and the picture above, it's about a TCG. Thanks to a GUY and the moe(ness) of the cards during the Taylor's Asaban Fest, I am poisoned to this TCG!!!!

This TCG is a anime-based card game from Japan and it has most of the famous anime series such as Lucky Star(LS), Little Busters(LB), Zero no Tsukaima(ZnT) and so on.. Series like Haruhi will release later this year.. The all the cards are in Japanese, the only series that has a English Version is The Disgaea Trial Deck but the translation is still crappy. Well, if you play this TCG, you can always get translators from the TCGamers who introduced you this game. I play at Little Akiba(Malaysia) and The Card Geeks(Singapore), the people there can help you translate your card if you have any problem or you can just visit the website here for news and translation.

I am now currently playing Lucky Star Cards (for some reason the Lucky Star series from this TCG are extremely MOE~~!). Sample of the Lucky Star Promo Rares

I am currently playing a Megane LS Deck. I also own a Okashi/Futago LS Deck, a Idolm@ster Trial Deck and a English Disgaea Trial Deck. I plan to make a Infirmary LS Deck in the future.

I will post my Deck List once I finalize them, so you can revise the deck and try it out.. =D
You can always contact me through my email if you have any inquiries about this game.

More pictures about the game below.

Louise from the ZnT series

The Saber's art is fantastic

The Lucky Star Trial Deck was my first deck

END.

Hey everyone,

A bit of laziness..

2009-02-20T13:46:00.003+08:00

Hey.. sorry i couldn't continue posting.. Most probably, I am super duper lazy since I have a certain amount of time on the computer during school days. I always use the computer to watch anime, so that may be the reason to why I dont post very much these days.

Comic Fiesta 2008 ( Figurines) Part 2

2008-12-22T23:09:00.002+08:00

Continued From Part 1

I think the original artist who designed Elwing, should remove the angel wings on her head, cause it looks like she has two pair of ears on her head.

Looking at the SIZE of this Figurine.. Its gonna bite of a chunk of your wallet.

I would actually buy this Figurine, if Shana's hair was black.

WOAH !!! .. These Twins are a must get in my collection list..

Seriously, Chidori ( Figurine on the left) doesnt look like the one in the anime.

I like the way how Miku's hair swings.

Isnt Princess Hime's Body Figure perfect?

Blank Stares kills.

This is the only Figurine that i could find, that its feet is not touching the ground.

Both are from the Haruhi anime series but I forgot both of thier name for some reason....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomorrow, I will try to get through the Booths and the Stuff I bought at the Convention.
Then the next day. I will publish about the Cosplayers with speech bubbles.. >=D

Okay that's all for today folks.. =D

ARSENAL vs MAN U

2008-11-10T12:14:00.002+08:00

Wow its been a long long time since I blogged. Guessed I played to much during these 3 weeks of self-proclaimed holiday.

Recently I watched a football match at Saturday night with my brother. It was my favorite football club Arsenal VS my brother's favorite football club Manchester United. I was shocked how Arsenal beat Man U without some of their key players such as Van Persie , Adebayor , Silvestre and Eboue.

Nasri scored 1 goal in the 1st half and another goal in the 2nd half, Rafael Da Silva's Goal in the 2nd half still could not help Man U get a draw in the end. Even Cristiano Ronaldo said he wasnt playing his game.

Now Man U is 5 points away from Liverpool, which is a very very good sign because i don't want Man U to get the cup again. Anyways till next time =D.

Exam Time..

2008-08-08T13:16:00.002+08:00

Sorry guys I couldn't post for a few days cause I've got some test coming and I am quite busy at the moment. Maybe I can continue posting next Wednesday or Friday..

SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE CAUSED... =P

Spice and Wolf

2008-08-05T14:47:00.005+08:00

Holo

This anime is very interesting since it talks about business and a little supernatural. Its interesting that the story is about a wolf taking form of a human instead of a human taking form of a wolf. In this anime, it teaches you to be a little smart and don't be greedy while you are bargaining or dealing with people. Although this anime is rated for kids, I certainly won't allow kids below 13 watch this anime since there are some ecchi scenes in the beginning.

This anime is based on Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Supernatural and Adventure.

From Left, Lawrence , Holo

The Story of this Anime Craft Lawrence (people call him Lawrence), 25 year old traveling merchant that goes from town to town dealing with people. This story takes place somewhere in Europe in the Middle Ages. One night when he was at the town of Pasroe, I accidentally found a 250 year old pagan wolf deity girl named Holo. She looks like a 17 years old girl with wolf tail and ears. She introduces herself as the town's goddess of harvest who has kept it blessed with good harvests of wheat for many years. Despite having the responsibility to watch over the town, she wants to go back to her homeland in the north. Later that night, Holo makes a deal with Lawrence to bring her back to her homeland. Along the way while Lawrence was bargaining with a tradesman, Holo interrupts and suddenly increased his profits stunningly, but at the same time, the church wanted to exterminate her.

According to my rating, I would rate this anime a 9/10 for its wonderful adventure, touching drama story and the way it teaches you to be smart.

This anime is licensed. Support it by buying "original".

Metal Gear Solid 4

2008-08-04T13:34:00.004+08:00

Game Cover

Metal Gear Solid 4 (MSG4) is the most famous Metal Gear Solid series. Sadly this game can only be played on PS3. When I bought this game, I was so excited because this game is so popular and its very hard to get one copy of the game. Right after installing the game to my PS3 system, I quickly went through the tutorials and tried out Metal Gear Online (MGO). After reading the tutorials, I thought I was ready, but when I am in battle, I completely forgot all the keys. So through my experience, you should go through the story while remembering the keys at the same time.

The motto of this game, "No Place To Hide", but its rather interesting that I never played stealthily before, since the damage I took from the enemies were too little and I had enough time to recover. I have been playing the story mode for around 24 hours and they are 5 acts and I have only finished 2 only (that means to finish the story is gonna cost you a lot of your time).

You will reach this level somewhere in Act 2

The Plot of the Game Set in 2014, five years after the "Manhattan Incident" (the events of the Plant chapter from Metal Gear Solid 2), MGS4 portrays a world where the restriction of military intervention on foreign soil has been eased, fueling the need for private military companies (PMCs) to fight proxy wars for business purposes. Nanotechnology has become prominent, both to enhance the capabilities and enforce the loyalty of mercenaries. The five largest of these PMCs are owned by a single mother company named Outer Haven, which is operated by Liquid Ocelot. Amassing an army whose manpower rivals that of the United States, Liquid prepares to launch an armed insurrection. With the world once again in crisis, a rapidly aging and disillusioned Solid Snake is deployed into the Middle East by Roy Campbell to terminate Liquid. Guns of the Patriots will take place in five locations throughout the world. So far three locations have been revealed: the Middle East, South America, and somewhere in Eastern Europe.

Lastly I want to say is that this game is not worth buying now if you are going for MGO since its so hard to even find one room to play if you are from Malaysia. But if you are going for the story then its up to you then because the story is Quite Interesting.

I would like to rate the game 7/10 for its graphics and story.

2008-08-03T11:40:00.006+08:00

Zero No Tsukaima

2008-08-03T09:57:00.007+08:00

Last year, I was wondering when there will be an anime with Magic and Sorcery like Harry Potter. Well This Year I happen to pass by a famous anime Series " Zero No Tsukaima ". This is one of those anime series that really caught my eyes. This anime is so good till theres 3 seasons already and its still airing until today. I will review them sometime later.

This anime is based on romance, comedy, fantasy, adventure and shoujo.
This anime has some ecchi(perverted) scenes that should not be suitable for kids under 13/15.

Now I give a brief info on the story.
Louise is a magician who always fails in her magic spells that eventually becomes an explosion no matter how much tries she does. The students in Tristan Academy call her "Zero", due to her zero chances of successes in magic. One day, in her second year in the academy, there is a compulsory ceremony for all 2nd year students to summon a familiar to be a servant for life. When it was her turn to summon, she asked for a "devoted, beautiful and powerful" familiar but instead she gets a normal ordinary Japanese Boy, Hiraga Saito.

The Story goes as Louise abusing Saito while Saito search for answers on how to go back to his own world. But eventually Louise and Saito starts to have a love for each other thru the hardships and adventure the gone thru. The other characters will come in slowly

Just for your info,
In thier world, Noble refers to those who can cast magic spells and holds a high post in the kingdom; Commoner refers to those who are normal humans.

According to my rating, I would give this anime a 9/10 since the storyline was very interesting, the adventures was nice and the comedy scenes came out at the right time.

Sadly to say this anime was just licensed about 1-2 months ago but you can still watch season 2 and season 3 on online(streaming).

In The Middle: Louise

Mr. Fully Automatic " Clean & Shine Ur Teeth" Toothbrush

2008-08-02T13:12:00.001+08:00

Everytime I click on the Nuffnang Gift Ideas ads, I am always looking at the Prize Money. Just looking at it makes me more angry, thinking about how slim the chances are to win such a big amount cash. Thinking until today, I would give it a try.

I would like to give this to My Brother, Dexter
The Mr. Fully Automatic " Clean & Shine Ur Teeth" Toothbrush ..!!!

Why did I give him this Gift??? Because he usually have bad breath and is always interested in complicated Electrical Appliances since he is studying Mechanical Engineering. So by giving him this he can spend more time fascinating about his new toothbrush while brushing his teeth. Usually he will spend 1 hr looking at the *New* Gadgets he gets, and I am hoping he will do the same to this Toothbrush. Another reason for me to give him this gift is because he was the one who introduced me to NUFFNANG~~!!!

Thanks Nuffnang and Realmart for organizing such a Contest. Hoping that I will win this competition and make my dream come true.

This is my plannings IF I win the Contest

Nuffnang Gift Ideas Contest ( Before Buying The Toothbrush )

First Prize RM 1,500
Second Prize RM 1,000
Third Prize RM 500

Nuffnang Gift Ideas Contest ( After Buying The Toothbrush )

First Prize RM 1,310

Third Prize RM 310

Fruits Basket

2008-08-02T11:29:00.001+08:00

This is a famous manga turned into an anime. Fruits Basket for people who have sensitive feelings since I heard many people that watched this anime CRIED. When I heard this anime was great, I wanted to buy it "original" but somehow my brother already bought it. After watching this anime, I would rate it 8/10 since it has great song selections, a mix of comedy, nice animations and a great storyline.

This anime is based on drama, comedy, shoujo, romance, a slice of life and supernatural.

The Cast

Now I will just give a brief synopsis on this anime
Fruits Basket is about a life of the student named Tohru Honda, who is an orphaned child ever since her mother died in a car accident. After that, Tohru lived with her grandfather, but when remodeling is needed on the house, Tohru resorts to living in a tent and holds down a job to support herself. Despite suffering many hardships, Tohru remains optimistic.

One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the forest that she is temporarily living in which is the home of Shigure Sohma and fellow classmate Yuki Sohma, of the Sohma family. When the Sohmas discover that Tohru is living in a tent, they are quite surprised by her will power to live on. The entire area is Sohma property but Tohru pleads to live upon the property in her quaint tent. Feeling sorry for her and desperate to end their days of filthy living conditions, the Sohmas offer her their spare room in exchange for cooking and housework. When her tent is buried that night in a landslide, burying her mother's picture and school clothes, she has no option but to accept.

Soon after she discovers the Sohma's family secret, that they are able transform into animals when hugged by the opposite gender, when they are under a great amount of stress, or weak in any way.When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohmas allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that had previously befallen anyone not on the "Inside" of the Sohma family who had discovered the secret.

Lastly, this anime is best watched with your family or your girlfriend/boyfriend because when I watched it alone I felt bored and the feeling of crying didn't came to me but still I felt a little sad while watching the anime.

If you would want to watch this anime online(streaming), too bad its already licensed, the other way to watch it is to buy it "original" or watch the manga online(without songs).
