On the eve of each equinox and solstice she begins to see a radiant figure looking not unlike the Buddha floating between the twin peaks of distant Mount Futakami. One evening, after completing her one-thousandth copy of a sutra, her view the figure she has been longing to see again is obscured by a rainstorm. In pursuit of it she slips away from her household to the foot of the mountain, where she arrives at a temple that women are forbidden to enter. There she learns that the figure might bot be not Buddha, but the soul of the executed Prince Ōtsu which wanders in torment between this world and the next.Read More

I Am A: True Neutral Human Druid/Ranger (2nd/1st Level)


Ability Scores:

Strength-13

Dexterity-11

Constitution-14

Intelligence-13

Wisdom-11

Charisma-12


Alignment:
True Neutral A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment because it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.


Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.


Primary Class:
Druids gain power not by ruling nature but by being at one with it. They hate the unnatural, including aberrations or undead, and destroy them where possible. Druids receive divine spells from nature, not the gods, and can gain an array of powers as they gain experience, including the ability to take the shapes of animals. The weapons and armor of a druid are restricted by their traditional oaths, not simply training. A druid's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that they can cast.


Secondary Class:
Rangers are skilled stalkers and hunters who make their home in the woods. Their martial skill is nearly the equal of the fighter, but they lack the latter's dedication to the craft of fighting. Instead, the ranger focuses his skills and training on a specific enemy a type of creature he bears a vengeful grudge against and hunts above all others. Rangers often accept the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. His skills allow him to move quietly and stick to the shadows, especially in natural settings, and he also has special knowledge of certain types of creatures. Finally, an experienced ranger has such a tie to nature that he can actually draw on natural power to cast divine spells, much as a druid does, and like a druid he is often accompanied by animal companions. A ranger's Wisdom score should be high, as this determines the maximum spell level that he can cast.

Today after my mom had returned from the market, she said, "měi měi qǐng nǐ hē xī jiǔ" which translated into 美美請你喝西酒 in my head (Mei Mei invite you to drink Western wine). After half minute being baffled, I just realized that what she meant was 美美請你喝囍酒 (měi měi qǐng nǐ hē xǐ jiǔ - Mei Mei invite you to drink wedding wine)! Mind you, xī and xǐ sound quite similar. :p I was squeaked in surprise when I realized it. LOL

That's my second friend having a wedding this year. She's a year older than me and we were both students in my elementary and junior high Chinese private lesson. She quit after I reach high school and we lost contact with each other until I reach my 2nd year in university. :) Ma ne~~ Guess I need to get used to it. I believe there will be more coming next year... *hahaha* Wish her a great happiness and long lasting marriage. ^^

I was suddenly being offered an ERP project by someone I knew. He was the head of IT of a company where my grup did my Software Engineering project, a payroll system. He moved not long after I had finished my project. Since I never change my phone, he could reach me even though I had lost his contact. I was confused because if I took this project, that means I would have 1 permanent work and 2 freelance projects (remember the Binus campus research project friends?). I took it in the end though.

Since this project is big, I know I wouldn't be able to do it alone. He told me I can team up with up to 4 people. I searched for my campus friends and high school friends who are working in the same line of work. I searched 3 and only 2 available. I decided to go with this number and add more people if we need to later. This project last about 5 months the most. Means my early 2010 plan need to be postponed to the middle of the year. The payment isn't bad and job doesn't come everyday. I will need to scrap whatever I can get to execute that 2010 plan. Might as well to make full use of my stay in here.

Yesterday, the whole family went to Pacific Place together. We ate in Ajitae and walk around before we attend a night wedding party in the same building. It was a nice party. The food are nice at least. :p The couple had been dating for 7 years and they both rich (they have lots of abroad holiday photos lol). They had lots of foreign friend come over for the wedding as well. :) I guess this is one of the rare example of couple who spent long term to know each other. I should say it's the best way to ensure you won't have a divorce later. I mean, of course other things could occur and who knows what future brings but.... at least you know him as good as he know you. *sigh* Romance eh... :S Reminded me that I want to re-watch Sweet 18. :)

Yesterday I went to pick up my book at Kinokuniya. As informed, only the second book of Juuni Kokki, the first one still out of stock. A bit disappointed to see that it's the part that least interest me, the story of the black kirin chose his first emperor. It also feel a bit weird to have the 2nd vol before the first, this is the 2nd time in my life. I rarely not buying from the first, if I'm buying something - it means I meant to collect and therefore everything need to be complete. The first time was when I bought Moonlight Night. It was my first time buying manga and I cannot find no 1-3 anywhere (was an amateur and I rarely went to bookstore) therefore I start with no 4. That was the first time I fall in love with bishies, until a real life boy made me fall and broke my heart. Let's leave that topic behind.

Yesterday I thought I was caught in traffic jam before I knew that there was a parade from 50 temples (She Jit Festival) from Thailand, Madura, Jawa, Sumatra and Bali! I TOTALLY DIDN'T EXPECT IT! Why? Because their first line consist of marching band and Paskibra (Indonesian flag bearer)! ROF LOL When I saw Barongsai (actually heard first, you knew how loud Barongsai's gong is) right behind them, I was baffled. Then I thought probably it was a tourism attraction since the one playing Barongsai was armies member. After the Barongsai, the traffic didn't move much. I didn't expect for anything but then a flag bearer of Pencak Silat Naga Geni (a group of Indonesian Martial Art) suddenly appeared! O_O;; I blinked a few times to ensure I really saw what I had seen. What I saw after it made me stunned completely. It was a statue put inside a palanquin sort and carried by lots of guys! My head automatically nodded in attempt to show respect. ^^;; Guess Buddhist culture did run deep in my blood. I didn't manage to see what God that was though I didn't have time to ponder that because there are more than 1 God Statue's Palanquin! My jaw dropped. I never expect to saw this kind of parade in here, especially since Muslim is the majority and honestly, nearly press down all other religions in the country. I noticed later that all of them are from a certain temple called Fat Cu Kung Bio. I never heard of the temple but after I saw the address, apparently it wasn't far from the temple that I used to pray at. I feel SO BLESSED to be able to see it with my own eyes, the whole parade. This is really the first time in my life. I swear if I knew there will be times like this again in the future, I would most definitely come. People said that if you pray to these Gods, you will have lots of good luck and fortune. ^^

Summary: During a period of economic decline, the government of a totalitarian state commissions scientists to research ways for the nation to prosper. One scientist (Alan Oppenheimer) develops an artificially intelligent brain, but before it can be properly tested, it is taken away by the government to build the Fabrication Machine, which is used to provide labor for the people and creates machines for war. Eventually the Fabrication Machine snaps under pressure and turns against humanity, programming its machines to eradicate all forms of life. The scientist later creates a set of nine numbered ragdoll-like "stitchpunks"[7], hoping they will preserve humanity's legacy and allow life to continue. He brings them to life by transferring his soul into each of them through a mysterious talisman object, and dies as soon as he gives life to the final stitchpunk, numbered "9" (more in wiki)

We did a conference call last Sunday, me, anne-san, yan-chan, juan, xinan-sama and nerdy-san. It's fun to hear everyone talk. ^^ I'm still in the process of getting my brain get used to speak in English. ^^;; I keep forgetting what I need to say in English - not to mention numerous grammar errors. ^^;; In addition, I normally not a talkative person. Anne-san and yan-chan dominated the conversation. LOL Nerdy-san popped out at times to bring out heavy topic. Xinan-sama only replied when questioned. juan throat is still sore from her cold therefore she's only a listener. I commented on random places LOL. It was a long call. About... 4 hours? LOL Xinan-sama even fall asleep in the middle of conference (which is no wonder because he has yet sleep since last night ^^;;).

I bought a new computer. Total of 8.9 million rupiah (~ $936).

Things I bought are:
• Motherboard msi pro x58
• Processor core 17 - 920
• Harddisk wd 500gb
• Power supply 750 watt
• RAM OCZ 6gb gold version(I don't even know what the gold version represent)
• Ati Radeon HD 4770

Am not buying monitor, dvd-rw and such. I use old ones.
Am going to install 2 os in there. xp 32 bit (yes I know it can only recognize 3.25gb at most) and vista 64 bit (this one is for rendering). I was initially thinking to have both in vista so the 6gb can be utilized fully, but then I remember, VISTA IS SUCK FOR PROGRAMMING! So I canceled. I better use ram under performance rather than fuming every time I code. Beside, if my sis need to render, she can switch to 64 bit, it will be faster anyway.

Dad was 'singing' when he knew the price of our computer. He kept repeating his 'rule' that comp is not for watching movies, playing games and so on. Yeah... as if we didn't learn. We won't do it. At least not when he's around. The new comp will suck power 350W more than the old one. ^^;; We keep the casing open in hope that it doesn't go overheat (I'm using a common casing). ^^;;

Today is the end of TRC. Clamp manga that I've been following for years since it was first published. Even my first entry is comments about it. LOL I should say the ending is pretty happy, though he cannot stay in a place, but he can return countless times. :) Am not missing this series yet since I know I can see them through xxxHolic which will still be ongoing until the end of the year. :)

Today it rains heavily - perfectly suitable with my current mood. :)

Holiday has ended. Kinda sad but unavoidable. Maid had yet returned and I'm being skeptic that she will soon (if ever). What did I do during the holiday?

Let's see....
• Doing house chores every day
• Went to PS with my mom and sis
• Gathering info about Singapore from my ququ in there
• Re-reading Kanata Kara/From Far Away
• Finished Shining Inheritance
• Finished Jumong(the first time I can finish a 81 eps k-drama series....)
• Finished Bakemonogatari(also the first time I finish a particular anime in its own season)
• Playing Wild Arm 1(God, I can't believe my PS1/PSX is still working!!!)
• Start to watch Kingdom of The Winds
• Finished Brisingr (wohoo~~~ at last!!)
• Get myself slipped on the stairs

Judging from the way it look, I think I didn't do anything educational LOL Everything is entertainment based - except house chores and info gathering of course. It was a nice holiday in overall. Now I'm starting to work again, I should make monthly report *sigh* Ah, and my sis need to buy a new powerful PC for rendering... *cries* It's another big expense... *tears flowing* Kinda sting to spend $900 for a combination of motherboard, VGA, RAM, HDD, power supply and processor... :( Everything else we can use old one (such as DVD-RW, CD-RW, keyboard and mouse). Ah~~ but it's still a big expense... >_<

Last night, no, this morning, 15 minutes before 1 am, I felt something crawl on my left finger. I immediately brush it away, get up and turn the light up. I knew it wasn't lizard, it was too light. I was dreading to see what was it. There is only one thing that I'm sensitive with - one that can wake me up even though I'm asleep, one that I can feel the presence even though I cannot see it. And to my horror, the omen came true. THERE'S A COCKROACH ON MY BED! !@#$%^&*()_ I immediately woke my sister up and have her kill it. I still shiver after it. *shakes head* The finger where it crawled still had that tingling sensation. I SO HATE COCKROACH! I wish I can write that in a more despicable way. *shiver*

Honestly, it's rare to have bugs in bed room. We have that case once or twice last year. Bedroom has always been clean and it's pretty free from mosquito, ants, whatever it is even though it's not sprayed. That's why having cockroach ON the bed is terribly unexpected (it was normally under windowsill or on door frame). Thanks to that I got a restless sleep after it. >_> I didn't feel it when I went to bed last night, it must've gotten in the midnight during the short-timed power outage. Of ALL places in our bedroom, why should MY FINGER! I probably should be thankful that it wasn't my face or anything else I couldn't imagine. *shakes head* *sigh*
