Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

LOL, right after I typed my list, okyatoks posted before I did

17. My most famous contributions involve researching. One of them is the Legend of the Tailed Beasts. But it will be almost invalid compared to it's second version, coming in the future.

I'm not a registered member of NF (I'm one of those guests who lurk there) so I'll say it here: OMG!! Your research is amazing! I'mlooking forward to the 2nd version.

9. Met a girl who used to be my senpai in Singapore.
10. She was having a relationship with a married guy, but i talked her out of it..
11. I went out with her and moved in to her place..
12. She cheated on me...got back with that married guy after 1 year of relationship.
13. Stayed in my cousin's house, turned suicidal, started smoking and failed 4 of my subjects in 1 year...

Ouch! I'm glad you moved on.

12. Stewie is the funniest charater ever to me. (so i watch family guy)

Yay! Another Family Guy fan

3. I’m 50% Malay, 20% Spanish, 20% Chinese, 10% Indian

I wish I could estimate the percentage to mine. I'm surprised that we have the same groups of people for ancestors.

17. I first encountered the computer when it was still known as the XT and had a 5-inch floppy drive. (that old huh?)
18. The first program that I used was Wordstar 4
19. I learned how to type using a manual typewriter
20. I maybe one of the oldest members in here

May I call you kuya? (big brother)

I think I'll extend my list to 50 items.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

Great read both, Okyatoks, karasu and Ayah - i don't really feel the need to comment mostly, but i'll leave two for the sake of it

52. I still read death note, despite the fact that i hate mangas that scratches off a very important character in the middle of the story.. (I like it better if the manga stopped when L died...)

I used to think the same way, but lately i'm very glad the manga continued , if DeathNote stops after this 'arc' ( only a few chapters to go? ) It would be perfect imo ^^ ( though i'd miss it... new manga by same mangaka's yay for that! )

2. I’m almost 6 feet in height

Littl'un!

Alright, either i missed it, or you didn't tell us, but how old are you, Okyatoks? ( and adults ( i make this 25+ in my mind for this post ) that read manga aren't childish, they're cool!! )

Okyatoks: Loves the fun forum - did you add that?

Ayah, KTFS and Karasu, Dyroness and JanneK those are really great bios!!!

@Ayah: Yeah, you can call me "Kuya"... I think everybody here can call me "kuya" (big brother)
as a side note: - My Grandfather is 3/4 - Spanish, while my Grandmother is half-Chinese on the fatherside, While my mom has an indian blood.

I'll comment some more later!!! To all, Good Show!!!

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

woa, i didn't realise anyone would bother to read my long bios
hahahahaha...

thanks 4 the comments anyway, guys...

were you guys talking about eye colour? my eye colours are dark brown [br]Posted at: April 16, 2006, 05:26:25 AM_________________________________________________

lol.. i don't really approve of near.. and i really think the arc where light lost his memory is really unnecessary... coz in the end kira2 can't remember L's name as well... but i'm a real big lover of the early death note...smart and creative..but after that is just.. "haha, i know you're gonna do this..." "haha, i know that you know that i'm gonna do that..so i've prepared something else" "haha, i know that you're smart enough to know that i know that you know that i know what you're gonna do.. so i prepared something else too.." "haha, then everything is according to my plan.." "well, it's also according to my plan.."
i was a fan of early Light where he still holds his ideal..and a fan of L's wits...

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

49. My mom likes watching subbed Korean and Japanese drama, with an occasional Taiwanese one thrown in.

haha..and so does my mom...
i believe the Taiwanese drama refers to "Meteor Garden" ???

I don't really hate korean drama, some are good and the sad stories sometimes makes me cry.. Stairway to Heaven..

Spoiler

Stairway to heaven, if anyone watched it... the guy been in love with the girl since a little kid, but the girl had a boyfriend since little too... when they grew up (25yo or so..) the girl's eyes started to go blind coz of eye cancer... the guy (whose love was one sided all along) kill himself in order to give his eyes to her.. after getting married to her love.. she died because the cancer infected her brain as well... lol.. my gf cried a lot on that movie...

and japanese drama.. i love the live action Kindaichi and GTO... and i like The Sun Shines Forever (Hideaki Takizawa starred in it) variant titles would be The Sun Never Sets/Dipped etc..

Spoiler

about this guy who took his mum for granted, then one day his mum died, hospital said it's because of fatigue, they cremated her corpse, they found a scalpel in her remains.. the guy then fight on to sue the hospital, for only 100 yen or so.. but of course, accepting the sue would mean that the hospital accept the fact that they're really at fault..so the legal issue fight goes on..finding evidence and supports from people..at the same time, the guy who's really sad fell in love with the girl who consoled her a lot..who happens to be the hospital owner's daughter..

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

Been a while since I last wandered over here but it's enjoyable learning about all of you ^^

@ Rampages - that's a interesting heritage you have - Vietnamese AND Persian! Congrats on being accepted into college!

@ eQuek - cool, you have a parrot. And since a certain somebody here asked me to give them a custom title right after I gave you yours, I'm wondering if he's your best friend. He also happened to post right after you did

@ Jannek - good luck on learning how to play tennis. My dad was a tennis champion in high school, but it never took for me. What are your "huge dreams" btw? You didn't elaborate on them XD

@ Dyro - my friend! You're such a prankster. We should've gotten your services when it was April's Fool day here.

@ Karasu - Dirga, cool name. Sounds like you care a lot about your girlfriend. Sounds like her family might expect a lot of you - good luck on that.

@ KTFS - haha, another Steelers fan here. ( Anonymous Spore, the translator of Eyeshield 21, is a Steelers fan too. ) I love Suikoden as well. Wow, you were married? That's not something I hear everyday on forums. Sorry it didn't work out, but glad you were comfortable enough to reveal that about yourself here Hope it works out next time. Cool that you're into American comics, I am too.

@ Okyatoks - you too! Into American comics, I mean. Maybe we should do an American Comics thread here sometimes. Anyway I do get the sense that you've lived a pretty full life from your post, I would say you're well into your 20's or early 30's? Pretty cool all the stuff you've been able to do so far.

@ Ayah - hehe, I'm glad you decided to stay around here. What is it with Filipino girls and actors in musicals anyway? Nah-Nah was VERY interested in the actor who did Gin in the Bleach musical, heh. And hey, a fellow Virgo! I was born September 10

@ newyorkchick - If I ever need information on social studies now I know where to look

@ Fuzzy - was surprised to see you post here, you shy guy you XD Here's to more coffee

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

I'm one of those people who stopped because of "that" but I'll pick it up again when this arc ends to read those chapters I skipped. I want to read it continuosly this time.

@ okyatoks
Kuya! I would never have guessed your THAT old According to my mom, one of her grandfathers was Chinese who married a Spaniard. My dad's sister claimed that we have Indian blood when she traced our family tree. Salamat sa bati! (Thanks for the greeting!)

@ Karasu
She has already seen Meteor Garden 1 & 2. I know she has other Taiwanese titles aside from those two. I remember her having MARS (yes, this is the almost same MARS as the shoujo manga). She has also seen Stairway to Heaven although I don't know if she has any of the Japanese titles you listed. She got to watch Gokusen 1 & 2 though. BTW, my eyes are dark brown too.

@ KTFS
It's good to know that we both like at least 2 things (Family Guy and the Suikoden series). To tell you the truth, I only got into playing Suikoden recently with Suikoden III. I have that game for a long time, played it for a while then took a break that lasted for months. A few months ago, I decided to replay it and finish it this time and so I did. I really like it. I am yet to get Suikoden IV and Tactics/Rhapsodia but I heard that Suikoden IV is not as good as the other games in the series.

@GK
About your question on Filipinas and actors in musicals, I don't know except... we think they are cute? It's all in one's preferences. The rest is just coincidence, I guess, just like our birthdays

@ newyorkchick
I agree with what okyatoks said, you seem very feisty.

11. Alot of people seem to fear me.... and I dont know why lol

I was thinking that perhaps they fear your godly cleaning skills? xD

25. I love to watch Happy Tree Friends!!!

Yay! Someone else who watches Happy Tree Friends though I haven't seen one in a long time.

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

LOL that cracks me up. I got tons of negative ki my first week too. Those newbe haters XD

haha wow. I hope I don't bombarded by the newbe haters. when I saw the nevative ki I was like hu? What I do?. But I will tell you this when I get to my 50th post if i still have that negative whould you do the honors of giving me a positivie ki just so I can be back to 0? lol.

@GK and Ayah
September babies!!! XD well that makes 3 of us mines is Sept 22 Last day of Virgo.

@GK Yup a steeler fan I've waited many moons to see them win it all. ( Must find Anonymous Spore he knows how I feel.) I played Suikoden for the first time in '01 now i'm  hooked. Great stoyline too.

As for bening married yeah thank you. I didn't have the luck your mom and dad have (On the wounderful easter egg hunt thorugh out MH witch I never found all of them. I ran into a topic thats how I know. You wrote about your parents.) But it's fine I was young and had no business doing that when I think about it now. The good side to it is if I ever get married again (that is no time soon) I know what to look out forand what to do. To me life is Made up of the multitude of things you do and experiences you have good or bad. (Well not really bad cuz there's good in bad. Small but still good.) And I like living and i'm gonna do it my way as long as I can.

Yesir x-men, spiderman & batman I have a box with comic in there from 86 I think thats when I got my first comic book. ( just found it too) Age of Apocalypse story line is my fav. So which is your fav charater and comic? Okya A.k.a. Kuya likes Wolverine I like Gambit.

@Ayah
Yeah thats is true. But it's a good start. I started  in '01 with part one and thats where i got hooked. Part IIs the best as far as story gose. and part IV is diffrent thats why some people didn't like. it becomes more of a navital fight insted of the land fighting people are used to and the world is small. But it's still a good game. Plue the new rune kicks a**


Edit:
@ Rampages The ki gods are confused but i'm at plus 1 now *woundering how long that'll last*

 

[karasu]

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

@ Ayah
lol, i'm not following all those dramas anymore... as a matter of fact, i'm a big hater of F4 in meteor garden.. I use to have long hair and i like it... but ever since that drama boomed, they kept saying how i copied their hairstyle... damn them.. so once i can't stand anymore comments, i cut it really short, and mess it up.. now the korean dramas are booming, they say i'm copying their hairstyle..again... i just can't keep up..
btw, MARS is shoujo? damn i thought MARS refers to the MARS (same titled manga) about horse-racing...
lucky i didn't download them.. i had MARS (the horse racing ones) back in indonesia.. sad sad stories..

Re: 25 or 50 Things About Yourself: Discussion Thread

I'm still young. Really young at heart!!!   (what a coincidence!) Salamat din!!!

Like you, I also learned to type on a manual typewriter - an old Olympus (90 wpm man! Yeah!) and can remember the days when there were no ATMs, when we got our first microwave oven (it was about the size of very large telesivion!) and the first mobile phones (which were also about the size of a large television).  I used to play Space Invaders at the local games Arcade and remember that our first computer was a Commodore.  Haha!

GAH!  It's good to know you're also young at heart!!
