College | PC Mac battle! XD

Oha~

Since College is now a big part of my life, I thought I'd share some bits on it every now and then. A few RL friends know well that I am not a Mac fan ^-^; As someone studying Graphic Design, it may seem blasphemous, lolols.

Honestly, I've had bad experiences with *real* Mad fanboys and fangirls so I've learned to slowly appreciate the Mac through my own opinion and not that of the general fan world.

Mac is pretty fun and simple though, I must admit that I'm pretty comfortable with my own personal customizations I've made in Windows. I guess I'm finicky about any OS really XD

Do you customize your pc settings to suit your preferences?

What are your thoughts on the Mac?

A screencap of the Mac I use at college. Lolols, have named my flash drive "Kyon" XD

Do you name your pc devices?

RL and the Otaku | Wanted figures now Unwanted | Oh noes! Full HDD

Oha

Eh he ^^; Trying to keep a 'regular' flow of updates now~ It's good to be back :3

Having recently gotten back in touch with an overseas net friend, we had an interesting topic in one email which I'd like to share here.
The question was, "Are you open with your hobbies or do you slowly warm up to people and then inform them?"

Personally, I tend to be the latter. Thankfully, people that I've come across have fairly understood and so that makes it much easier. Though, you do get people who immediately associate Ero stuffs with anime in general XD Even if you try to explain the difference... they just don't get it, lolols. Wonder what they think if they heard of eroge D:
What kind of experience do you have with your hobbies and the people around you in RL?

There's been a great amount of figures this year with a generally strong quality. Perhaps too much figures released this year? It's either that or the recession is eating at our hobbies XD; From the 50 or so figures that I've been drooling over, it has been cut to about halve that now >_>;;; The reason lay somewhere between availability issues, funds and eventual disinterest due to the former TwT
Do you find yourself in a similar situation?

Ending off with a rather amusing yet, sad event that I imagine all of us to have come across at some point XD Lots of stuff + HDD = Full HDD
Not good >_>;;
How do you counter the full HDD problem? Also, which type of backup do you prefer? (dvd,HDD, or...)

In the next post, I'll probably be covering my thoughts on Street Fighter 3 pc. If not, please expect something interesting ^W^~

Year End | Catching Up | Promotion(s) | Okaeri, burogu-chan~

Oha

It has been a long time, my dear friends~ (^-^);;;
In the time of our lack of communication, what have you all been up to?
I do hope to catch up with all the blog entries I've missed, truly m(_ _)m

With a little more than a month left of the first year of my Graphic Design course it's hard to believe that so much time has gone by. Just two more years and then I'll have my Diploma and if all goes well, I hope to get my Bachelor of Arts degree overseas... perhaps too hopeful >.<;; For my readers, do you plan to study abroad? If you're already doing so, how do you find the experience? If there's one thing that college students' love, it has to be free items wwwww Having put a little money aside for an LCD monitor, I never expected for one to march my way, at no cost at all D: Yes, this had to be one of my greater material surprises since my Katana set XD Have you had any surprise gifts this year?

New monitor-chan~

As mentioned above, the end of my college year is approaching. Not only is this time for reflecting it's also a time to devote to my hobbies and other responsibilities. Will be relearning all the code I've managed to forget since I started college, attend a few LANs, grab that cup of Italian hot chocolate I've been craving, go on a date XD;;; wwwww only in VN games, Join the Kenjutsu/Kyudo dojo, NEET mode, catch up on anime and manga, tie up personal art projects and finally, try to get my driver's license. Maybe I'll get a holiday job too, who knows... >_>;;;

With many big plans ahead and at least 3 months holiday ahead of me, I hope to spend it wisely with everyone *___*
If you've figured a rough plan for the holiday, what do you have in mind?

Suki Desho Back| Upcoming LAN | Money & Figures | Dream - Ritsu Mode ON! | College Life | Everyday moe is killing - Himitsu

Oha

It has been an extremely long time since my previous post and generally a long time since being online in a 'regular' fashion. That said, I have missed you all terribly TwT Whether I read your blog or you mine, whether we communicate on Dannychoo or not, whether we chat via msn or not... I miss it all! TT____TT A solution approaches and that is holiday!

When are you celebrating your holiday and what are your plans, if any?

Next weekend, the 19th to 21 June, I hope to attend a LAN. If you've been following my blog since last year... this is the 3 day LAN that happens monthly in my country. This year onii-chan and I are attending together, of course many of our friends will be there too. After the long months of college, intense gaming is in order! (b^o^)7

For my readers, do you attend any LANs? If so, what type of games or games do you enjoy most?
Personally, I'm into my strategy/FPS>RTS stuff mainly though I play anything that appeals to me.

Not really a rant but, something that I'd like to share with you. Entering college can be good and bad, especially if you're stuck buying art supplies every day, week or month... and still have college fees to attend to as well. Sadly, Suki has not bought any figurines, manga or anything of the sort due to this. I imagine that I'm not the only one going through this so...

How do you cope with this situation or do you rebel? [rebel rebel (b^_~)]

For those of you who may be wondering, college life is really exciting. Although my course is Graphic Design, the college is Fine Arts based and as a result our course gives us firm foundations in both computer and fine arts. An idea of the subjects we take: Photography, Illustration, Figure Drawing, History of Art (Theory),Research (AKA Free period), Printmaking, Communication, Design, DTP, Object Drawing, Alternative Media and Jewellery Design (also 3D-based design).

It's a full schedule and certain classes would appear more frequently than others but, that's okay.
The exam is an essay, which has to be written in 5 days.... That's better than regular testing, I suppose. The exam will be given to us on Monday... gambarimasu! >___<

Finally, if I haven't missed anything, there's good news on the other spectrum of my hobbies! suki has always wanted to play drums and so, after confirming with the parents... it wouldn't work TwT [That was back then when] [Present] suki now has both the opportunity to get her DRUMS!!!! I'll still be writing music and possibly playing other instruments as well but now is the time for DRUMS~ (>/^o^)>/ [It's supposed to be playing drums...lolols, just made that smiley now ^^;]

Do you play any instruments or would like to, if so, which one(s)?

Holidays will start after the theory and practical exams.. so lets hope we can all meet (properly) once its all over >__<
Pic is from K-on! Which I've been following between college projects~
