Anime or serials anyone?

Anyone have anime or tv serials to intro? I am now following a few animes now.

Namely:
Soul Eater
Spice & Wolf
Vampire Knight
Code Geass : LeLouch Of the Rebellion

However, they don't seem to be enough.
I am not interested in those that take more than a century to finish though.
E.g.
De-greyman (watching once a while on kids central though =X)
Naruto
One piece ( an episode here or there?)
Chobits

When the animes only have a few episodes, I can stop soon enough and probably suffer from a bit of withdrawal syndrome while waiting for another one. However, those with 100+ episodes are simply too much for me. I can't stand being hooked and having to finish 100 episodes one shot. Will die 1.

Reflections

Today was suppose to be a wonderful day with typical program and everyone of us being in a happy mood. In the morning, my colleagues and I went to this large scale dialog. The main aim was to to motivate us to bring out the best in us.

I loved what the speaker said. Especially the part that states, "do not expect everyone of us to be motivated fresh out of the oven. Everyone needs to be motivated to work once awhile as we might be frustrated by our work and ultimately start to lose hope."

This was especially true for me. Positive examples and negative examples were quoted to remind us what is the right thing to do and what are the wrong things. I believe that we should perform better as they deserve better.

Snap back to reality and no more doubts

Why did u make it so difficult for me to fathom? Things were made clear but still there were doubts. It was difficult to snap back to reality. Perhaps it was me. Perhaps i was dreaming and i didn't want to wake up from it. Having read up today, I guess i have finally snapped out of my dreamland, cleared my eyes and mind. It is now clear to me. Its too soon. I still wanted to live in my fairyland which i thought i mattered.

Time has passed and we have both moved on. There is no uncertainty, there is no doubts, there is no what-ifs. There will now be answers, a certain direction, no hard feelings. A path which was once hazy is now clear and its the only one i have. No more dwindling around the same place and get let time pass while i rot in-situ. Its time to board the lamborghini and speed to the next destination.

Squeaky Clean Computer & slacking

Why does my computer crash so often? It always start to show problems after about 3 months of usage. Thats when i feel so pissed, i decide to do a clean install. Now that its squeaky clean, things go faster and that gives me a better usage experience.

I wonder what am i doing over the weekends? I feel that i am seriously wasting time away, without really moving forward in my life. I have recently regained some knowledge about adobe premier and photoshop. Seems like people only learn fast when there is a need. I wanted to edit a video and a picture for the passport. I sat down and cracked my head, doing some trial and errors. I got the results out finally.

It is quite difficult to become totally pro at the software cuz i don't use it often. But such expensive software should be appreciated ^_^. Use it more often! I saved a few dollars since i am doing it myself instead of going to the photographer's. I was able to remove pimples too haha for a nicer picture!

New gadget!

Went SLS today and bought a cute little gadget that i believe will serve me quite a while ^_^. I shall share with everyone.

Oh well, i can't make the pictures appear here. You might wanna take a look at their website. Now i am able to make use of my Hard disks as though they are cassettes. Save on HDD enclosure, and this allows support for multiple HDDs.

Well, i did some cost calculations and found that HDD are cheaper than dual layer dvds, so if u must store data larger than a dvd can hold, HDDs are the way to go. This is based on my calculation of a 4.7GB disc costing $0.30 = 15.6GB/$ and 8.4GB disc costing $2 = 4.2GB/$. Since a 500GB hdd only cost $137 = 3.64GB/$. So much for the ease of transfer, speed and storage all in 1 place. I rather buy a HDD. The only concern is that, i lose the data if the HDD crashes. Losing 500gb of data is damn painful i must exclaim.

I have lost approx. 120gb of data due to hdd failure. However, i am sure i will recover them in time. I was glad though that they were able to give me a 1 to 1 exchange for the spoilt HDD.
