真的假的﹖可以打中文哦﹖@@
那為什麼之前打都不行﹖-__-

既然可以中文化....
高機動幻想 ガンパレード・マーチ 最高!!! XD

Got through the first day of training as a Tele Sales. It's been quite some time since I had to sit in a classroom environment and such. I suppose I'll just slowly adjust my sleeping habit...

Anyhow, my fever for Gunparade March continues. The Fan folder suddenly finds itself a few hundreds files fuller in a matter of two days because I started visiting fan sites and grabbing pics. Zannen desu ga, but there are so few official pics of GPM so I can't make any new avatar and have to stick to the old Hayami one...:( I'm already doing a Xel/Filia fanfic in GPM style, and I have yet to write that review. I'll probably get to do that sometimes next week, if all goes well. As far as I am concerned, this hype for GPM isn't going to die down anytime soon, seeing how it got on the All Time Favourite Top Five List with just one episode seen. Gunparade March saigou!! XD

Starting playing Princess Maker 2 English yesterday... Is it just me, or does the game not come with sounds? It's probably me... I find the game quite boring, as all I've been doing is making my daughter work so I can afford to feed her and buy her stuff. The fortune teller keeps telling me that she'll turn out to be a farmer...-__- I guess I have her working in the farm for too long... She is not popular, has 0 refinement, charisma, and isn't cultured. I don't know how long the game is until her outcome is determined. She's almost 17 now. I wonder if it's not too late to make her into something better than farmer. We'll see. *shrug*

Gunparade March!

I fell in love with it instantly after stumbling upon it accidently months ago, and I was delighted and excited to see the first episode on AnimeX.com. Even though my busy life has kept me from watching the 12 episodes I've burned onto the CDs, I never forgot about it.

Today, thanks to one of my best friends Dan, I watched the whole series in one sitting! I'm very happy. :)

True, Ishida Akira was what motivated me to watch GPM at first, but after a little browsing of the site, I decided to watch it. As I watched the drama of life and death, love and hate, as well as trust and bonds, the characters grew on me, and my heart goes out to them as they progress. GPM immediately earned a spot in my all-time top five list.

It's really hard to describe my feelings after watching it now, but I'll eventually get to it. After I watched it again, this time more closely, I'll write that review for AnimeX.com.

Nanka, shiyawase omoi de... :)

Ah, the decisions...

After some searching today, I found another GIS program I can consider: Certificate of GIS @ SFU. This one, however, seems to be tougher to get in, requiring both a bachelor's degree in related field as well as work experience in GIS related environment.

Here's a breakdown of the two programs:
GIS Advanced Diploma @ BCIT
Duration: 9 months
Fee: ~$4500 Cdn
Focus: more technique oriented (lots of programming involved)
Method: lectures/seminars/practicum

Certificate of GIS @ SFU
Duration: 2 years
Fee: ~$10,000 Cdn
Focus: more design and implementation oriented (I don't really see any programming courses in there)
Method: distant education + seminar

Both are not easy to get in, especially with my barely-get-by marks at UBC... I'm still looking into these two options, as the earliest application date doesn't start until October. Let me think about it...

Mozilla Firebird is quite swell, I must say.

Sure, it still has some features I don't like as much as the ones in Mozilla, but it's indeed living up to its name. The Christmas phoenix theme is one of the most beautiful themes I've seen/used, and I love it! The fact that Web site icons are visible in the bookmarks is a nice touch, too. Kudos to the theme author! The open all in tabs feature is handy for checking bookmarks except when, of course, there're just too many entries in one category.

Will the fiery king of the air beat the formidable lord of land and become the default browser on my computer? The answer isn't certain. Firebird is smaller and therefore faster than Mozilla, but feature-wise, it's hard to say which one I like better. They both have their own strength. Only time will tell, I suppose.

I am running Firebird right now, but Mozilla is still the default. I'm guessing that a definite winner won't emerge until the next version of both come out...

Well! Interesting how things turn out like this. After more tries and attempts, I'm going to enter the training class which starts on June 26, awaiting to be a bilingual outbound sales representative at RMH.

I'm sure 90% of the people in the marketing business with sales positions don't want to be sales, but it is still good to have the experience. As for me, I want to be a generalist, and I want to try as many different things as possible, be it labour works, office jobs, or weird and down right unusual. Yatemimasu.

We'll see how the training and the first period before the assessment go. If all is well, I'll probably stay for the rest of the year. All in due time...

Too bad I'll have to miss the boot camp though... :(

The Wedding Singer.

Didn't think I'd like it because Adam Standler (sp?) starred in it, but was I in for a surprise. I didn't see the first bits so I don't know how much I missed, but what I saw pleased me. Well, what do you expect? I am a big fan for sap.

Hmm... This gives me an idea for a Xelia fanfic. (And this line sounds exactly like the cliché line from Art Attack... ^^;)
