More Anime Moments

Anime moments round 2, ok I've only got two moments that I can think of as of right now, but still I think that I've seen it done in an anime before. Ok, first one and possibly by far one of the biggest cliches I've seen in any anime before. First day of classes, of course I'm nervous as I usually am because I don't know what to expect yet. I wait for the school shuttle to pick me, my friends from AACF and the loads of other students. Well we waited for about a good 15 minutes, the shuttle came everyone got up and all hopeful to get on to start another year of class, unfortunately it was full and it passed right by us. Elipse overhead and big sweat drop and emo lines. Well this one's not done yet well all of us waited another 15 minutes all very upset at the school right now. So then another shuttle pulls up, everyone runs to it, I even ran to it. Ok what happened next is straight out of Genshiken, I was making my way between two cars and then all of a sudden I fell on my knee. At a glance it felt all right it stung a bit, but nonetheless it hurt. Well I went a whole day of classes and it swelled up quite a bit and I had to go to the health center to get it checked out. Well its been about a good three weeks since then and my knee's feeling much better so no worries.

Next moment, it was at dinner last night with AACF at Costco (a cheap dinner that was well worth it). Well I was drinking my soda and just looking around and such, I guess I overheard some friends talking with some other members and it was on the topic of tennis and the girl I'm interested in. I was just sitting there and then I just had one of those "fantacising" moments that in some animes where guys think about the girls they like in cute attire. Mine was clean though so no I didn't have any dirty thoughts. I kinda had one of those "fantacising" moments, and yes she did look quite cute =D, it was fun yet so awkward at the same time ;;^^.

Well those are another two moments I've had so far, I hope to see any other parallels that relate to anime so I look forward to this year despite the tests and such.

Money and Dating

Another relationship post again, man I talk way too much about relationships and I don't even have a girlfriend =(. Well today we will be talking about money and dating. You see I don't have a girlfriend for two reasons, one: I have no time for one and two: girls are expensive. I will be focusing on the second of the two. Now to any female readers I'm sorry but I'm going to be brutally honest and male readers if you have a girlfriend I apologize as well. When two people get into a relationship it means that the two care for each other or have similar interests to be able to spend time with each other. Now we hit on the topic at hand, dates they are expensive. Depending on what you do most fun things are not free nor are things to eat. I get the fact that guys try to spend cash on a girl to woo them and show them a good time.

Now in my case I am a poor college student, since I didn't work all of this summer my wallet is pretty small. To me when you feel that you have to spend money on every date you go on, a girl becomes more like an investment. And like every investment there are risks such as breaking up. Depending on what you did with the girl say like gifts, dinners, movies, theme park tickets, and etc you just basically lost a bunch of money on her and it seemed like a waste of time and effort. To put it into my terms I used to buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards, I bought a lot of them as much as twenty dollars could buy me. Now I don't collect them anymore and they sit in my room collecting dust. I think back at how much anime DVDs or stuff I could have bought with all the money I spent.

Anyways back on to the topic at hand, let me say this if you're in a relationship maybe take that special someone out for a simple date and don't spend money on food or drink, like a walk in the park or some place go someplace scenic. I feel that a date shouldn't be about going to see a movie or eating at some place nice, its about being with that special someone that you care about. If they felt that the date was too boring or uninspired tell them that you wanted to see if they were interested in doing something simple and that being with them is enough for you. It's like with me just being around the girl I like is enough for me. Just being around her gives me a warm feeling inside and could sustain me for hours. Thats what I would want my ideal girl to feel as well.

In conclusion I'm not necessarily saying that spending money on dates is a bad thing. I'm just saying that you should just take into account that the reason you got into the relationship was because you both care for each other. So guys do whatever you want with your money as long as you don't go overboard with spending it on one girl, since there's no garantee that you'll be with her forever. So If you ever have the time go on that simple date of your choosing, because a relationship shouldn't be about money.

Time Must Move Forward...

Wow summers already over for me, I can remember back on that day I got out for summer, it was my birthday and it was one of the best ones that I had in years. I got a b-day card from one of my friends signed by the people from AACF (Judy if you're reading this thanks again and thanks to the peeps from AACF), watched Transformers: The Movie (the old one) and went back home and Cliff took me out to eat (Thanks again man). But enough about the good old days lets talk about the future. I'd say the things that concern me right now are classwork (again its something that always concerns me), apartment life and future registration. Classwork, I know that its unavoidable, but the fact that its never easy or minimal I just hope that I'll be able to take care of it all in a timely manner. In terms of apartment life vs dorm life, dorm life I roomed with a guy I didn't even know and apartment I know these guys since we all go to AACF. Concern is that I hope that I can get to class on time using the school shuttle and try to get to anime club, using the shuttle, to expose myself to more new anime (or I just watch what they watch from my own comp thank you stage 6 and veoh if I can find eps of what they're watching). Also I just hope that all of us don't run into any problems with each other, since one its really awkward to be living with the person that made you mad and I usually never win arguments. So hoping for little of those. Also going back home during the weekends, I'm the minority since I live in So-Cal and home isn't all that far away. I feel kinda guilty that I have the opportunity to go home so easy when my roomates live so far away. So Nate and Cliff if you're reading this I'm sorry but my family needs me sometimes, I thank you for the opportunity for letting me live with you guys but I feel that if my family needs me I want to be there for them. So I just hope you guys can understand. Registration, it may be a little easier since I've got two semesters of credits so the date and time may be different, but what classes to take is the mystery that I worry about all the time.

But anyways, as summer nears it's end I knew that these days wouldn't last forever. I wish for these days to never end since I have gained so many fun memories. However all good things must come to an end and its time for this ninja to once again ship off to his studies to gain more knowledge and walk the path of blood and tears once again. It all feels so strange though, I'm already 1/4th of the way through my college career and it feels strange going back again. But again if time didn't move forward new games and anime wouldn't be released so it'll be an interesting year this year to see if Sony can really bounce back from its poor launch of the PS3 (honestly no one would spend $600 for a console and ditching backwards compadibility bad move). So here's to another year of school and to time moving forward.

Until that day, Till all are one...
