I guess to sum everything up that just happened, I had to deal with doing a presentation in English class. This so called, personal creed or whatever. I suppose it was a fun thing to do, but at the same time it wasn't. I think the not so fun part of this would be dealing with having to write out the drafts (and I know for myself how much I didn't put effort in those or ended up doing those last minute). The presentation itself wasn't too bad though; well I guess all I had to do was press a simple "play" button anyways. Video editing? Don't even get me started; that was absolutely hell. It took me hours and hours and all I ended up was with a nearly 9 minute clip. Gets me real salty, you know?
Building up to when I ended up having to do the presentation, I actually had to also draw out some little drawings and also had to plan out a script on what I would say. Recording that also took many, many hours. Too many for what the product ended up being. I did a background of black and put a slideshow of anime pictures, with a few memes, over that background. (I didn't want to accidentally have a white screen leak through, so that's why I added a black BG, I don't think it even showed up in the end because everything was in, erm, 16:9 anyways.
Going away from that topic, there's nearly five or six projects due within the next few weeks. Absolutely tragic. I was thinking I could actually not do much and sit around, but nope- here comes a project in history and here comes a few from English. *shrug* I guess doing the draft for the independent reading is going to be hell, since the book just arrived a few days ago and I still haven't started. That creed took too long, seriously, oh my god. I guess that's not going to be too good for me, especially since it's due tomorrow. I wonder if my "coping box" from last year will save me.
Math, well, I will assume that test or quiz was tragic and will drag my grade to a D+, meaning I will be forced to do better, or suffer not so good consequences.
Going away from the troubles of school, I keep saying that I'll catch up with anime but I still haven't done so. I guess there's a few shows I'm actually watching, especially this one similar to Sword Art Online but made by a Chinese company (Mandarin so... yep) and I'd say it's pretty good so far. I'm looking forward to watching more episodes perhaps today.
I'll go now then, lunch then chem next.

March 16, 2017: Worktime
So, I'm supposed to be working on my classwork and homework in English. You can assume I'm absolutely lazy and not doing it right now. I was considering actually doing work but the temptation of not doing anything was simply too strong for me to resist, so here I am. Perhaps I would have better things to do than to type out meaningless paragraphs of filler paragraphs and stuff about school life or games, but this was the first thing I thought of doing with the resources that I have nearby.
It's seriously been a long while since I last posted anything here, for all the ghosts that are around--- sorry. I would've loved to post more but I had other stuff to do. More like, trying to grind for Love Live! School idol festival or playing cringe games such as osu! and Aura Kingdom. I'm not sure if I mentioned about Aura Kingdom in the past, but I joined that game due to a friend. My PC started dying and I lost motivation for it so I've pretty much left from that game. I suppose I could play more since I have invested some money into it.
If we talk about spending money on a game, none of this would beat the amount I've spent on LLSIF. That amount has been super high, perhaps almost reaching the 700 or 800 dollar mark now. I'm excited for the Honoka solo box, which should be here in a few months. I spent around $48.85 just a few days ago so I could buy the three 10+1 scouts for 30, 40, and 50 gems. I'd say I was pretty satisfied with the results, which left me with around 5 of the same Umi SSR. (Makes sense, since the only set for Umi would be initial set.) I got it 6 slotted and got rid of two to use on other SSR.
As for other stuff, I guess the period will end in roughly thirty minutes now. I made some sort of progress on the Vocabulary for Achievement homework. I actually ended up procrastinating up on last week's VfA assignment; I did around 1/4 of it. We have so many assignments coming up lately, essays, worksheets, reading and bookwork--- it's gotten really tiring.
If I remember correctly, the Honoka event starts later tonight, so that won't be fun. I still haven't cleared some of the E/N/H songs yet and they'll expire. I think it's almost time I leave. Oh, and it's that time of year again--- time for Internexus. It's going to be held at American this year, instead of Washington. I would really have it would turn out better than in the past, which was really a mixed bag, but I have a feeling it won't. In any case, perhaps I'll be able to take a role in the club next year.
Course selections were just seriously annoying to do, but at least I got signed off for Chinese 4. I was going to consider French 4 but I'm already barely passing with a C, so I don't think it would be a good idea to go further on. It's sad there isn't any sort of AP Chinese/Mandarin course. AP Psychology probably won't be too fun, but we'll see about that. Maybe it'll be better than I thought it would be. 11:50 AM, we're almost there.
Let's see, I have to go to my junior high, Thornton, later today with some friends. We plan on advertising for Internexus in addition to maybe getting some food, or T4, or something. Odds are that we will leave at 2:40 PM, and get there and be done by 3:10. Then from 3:10 to 5 PM we would have a big chunk to do whatever. I hope this time would be used wisely. Maybe we'll get some pizza for the librarian. We'll see. I'm a bit excited I suppose.
So, JP LLSIF started their 4th anniversary rewards. They have a bunch of actually valuable rewards this time, so I'm really looking forward to using it all up. I think there's roughly ten minutes left so I'll try to make the most of this. Back on topic, LLSIF is going to go crazy soon, cause the events they've announced have been really amazing and cool. If we, EN, get this someday that would be really superb. I guess I'm somewhat running out of G, so that would be good to get more of. In addition, I need to max level the SSR Umi, which is just barely at 71 or 72. I need a 90 for her "full" potential.
You know what, I'm going to leave now.

August 4, 2016: SIF Addiction (and osu!)
If you ask me what I have that makes my life interesting, it would be Love Live! School Idol Festival. This summer was uneventful and nothing happened to me at all. Some relative visits here and there, going out to a restaurant once in a while, things like that. But during early last year I discovered this game. Now, I had tried to download this a year or two ago but at the time, my phone didn't allow me to download it's over 500 MB of game files. I kind just deleted the game, because it felt like it would be a hassle to go and try to make it work. But this time around, FolderMount saved the day and allowed me to move all its files to the SD card.
So I jumped from account to account, and now through a series of trading I've ended up with a whale account. The previous player spent over $1600 USD on this game, and potentially even more if they used iOS (Apple) devices. In-app purchase costs vary significantly when comparing Android and iOS, and iOS purchases tend to cost more, at least in LL. The teams are quite strong as well, with a solid 55k+ teams. Average teams for a new player would be around the 20k region, then when they start to get stronger, average players reach around the 40k+ range, and usually senior players end up in the 48~53k ranges. Anything higher usually means tons of purchases were made or they were just extremely lucky.
Seeing that I've obtained a pretty good account, my dreams to finally give up LL are kind of, not going to come true. The addiction sinks way too deep down to the core. In any case, if you want to check my progress, here is my School Idol Tomodachi account. As of now, I'm just quite excited for the next update. Finally, the long-awaited 4.0 update will come this Fall (supposedly) to our international server. It will bring over features such as a higher difficulty and seal shop changes. The new difficulty, master, wasn't as hard as I thought. Yes, it does have combo breakers, but it was not harder than our current flame songs. (super hard expert songs) The seal system will be changed so when removing a member that is idolized will only grant a single seal, making the idea of selling idolized members a bad idea.
Thinking about it, although summer has been boring and nothing much was done, I will go volunteer for a small convention on Sunday. It'll be held somewhere near me, and it's called Kin-Yoobi Con. I'm not sure how this will turn out in the end, being that it's a small convention and that the area they have is small. They also don't have that many things to do there, so there's also that. I really hope volunteering for them will be fun and enjoyable.I mean, who likes boring conventions anyways? I invited some people I know to come. I think they said there was takoyaki I misspelled it takoYAOI last time so I'm really excited to try it out. I only have to work for 4 hours so it shouldn't be too bad. There's a mandatory meeting tomorrow and I hope to see how it all works out.
As for osu!... I think it's the fact I'm not practicing enough at it. My skills at osu! are lacking, compared to games like Taiko no Tatsujin and LL. Passing easy songs are already kind of tough for me, but normal songs are on a whole higher level. I doubt I'll ever get to harder songs unless I dedicate as much time as I do to LL.
I'll have to hike my grades up to B's or higher before I can even think about potentially being able to play games and do things I want to do at home. With the grades I have now, there's going to be disapproval and my parents will suggest that I should just study more instead of playing games and all. How am I supposed to get to a college at this rate with these bad grades... I really need to stop procrastinating on every single thing related to school.
I guess summer is drawing to an end, less than 30 days before school starts. It disappoints me that it just ends so quickly. I didn't have a good time in summer anyways so I guess school will make it more interesting. Being on Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail non-stop gets old really quickly. I hope this is a good enough blog post, since I haven't done one lately, nor have I ever usually done any good ones. Any questions, just shoot me an email. (alichak000@gmail.com) I guess I'll talk to you people later.Not that anyone reads this

July 7, 2016: Cringe-fest
So right now, I decided I would cover a song for the first time in years. It's not going well. I'm dying, every time I sing this there's a cringefest going on. I'll just leave now.

June 27, 2016: Alpha
I had the chance to test out a game in alpha today and it was quite bad and buggy. It was fun, but I regret putting in so much effort since I won't get anything in return other than some sort of gift pack when the game comes out. It had some translation errors and it seemed to crash a bit.

June 26, 2016: Failure at Taiko
Taiko no Tatsujin is my favorite rhythm game of all time. It's pretty fun, and with two buttons that you have to hit you would expect that it would be just, pretty easy. That's what I thought when I started playing; but it got harder after hitting the highest difficulty, Oni. I never knew that the notes would come at me at lightning fast speeds. I can say I can pass most of the 7 star Oni songs, but as for 8, 9, or 10 star ones, I absolutely have difficulty doing those. I'm starting some new shows lately, and I still need to finish the 13th episode of Re:Zero. I've watched half the episode and I'm stuck on the other half. There's nothing else I can do other than watch television.

June 15, 2016: I Know.
So if you keep asking me, why I'm not updating this regularly... all I can say is that this blog isn't as important to me as before. It should be, but it isn't. However, I am keeping up with anime and you might be able to track me down here, which is where my MyAnimeList profile is at. Go there.
So Shadowverse finally decided to show up after its long closed beta back a few months ago. I was literally waiting for ages. Seriously, it took that long? Also, I'm going to be in my second year of high school now. I have to say, my first year sucked. There wasn't much stuff to do. Internexus turned out fine, and I would say it is an amazing improvement to last year.
I guess I'm making friends, and them senpais are noticing me. I hope I can do better next year at Internexus and potentially be the president of the JAM club at my school... not that I have that sort of luck. I'll try my best though, and I hope they'll notice.

I'm looking forward to volunteering for this. Hopefully someone will come to our mini anime convention. Sigh.

May 26, 2016: That Inactivity
You may be wondering, what's kept you so long from your last post? Let me tell you, with a combination of terrible grades, Love Live School Idol Festival, and anime, it made the perfect environment to neglect my blog. I'm sorry. But I'm back, for a while, and let me share with you this: Love Live is cancer. It infected me and now I can't stop playing it. I don't know what to say, but if you have anything you would like to ask me just comment.

March 11, 2016: Long Hiatus...
Well, it's been ages and I'm finally back. Things have changed lately. Rage of Bahamut is finally dead, Blood Brothers is dead as well, and I'm starting to get into rhythm games. Not much to say about it, but they're fun. Mobage has been pulling the plug on tons of games lately and I think they're preparing for release of Shadowverse in the international reqion.
